FORT WALTON BEACH — The founder of a family business that endured 57 years through changing times and a growing city has passed away.
Art Schweizer, founder of what became Art's Appliance Super Store, passed away peacefully in his sleep early Tuesday. He was 84.
His health had been failing for a while, said his son, Todd Schweizer.
The store grew from a 12-by-16-foot radio and TV repair shop at the corner of Eglin Parkway and Racetrack Road to a 13,500-square-foot appliance and TV store on Mary Esther Cut-Off.
See vintage photos of Art Schweizer and his store. >>
Schweizer and two partners opened the original shop in 1954 as a side business while they were stationed at Eglin Air Force Base. Within five years Schweizer had bought out his partners.
The store grew over the years, branching out to appliances and moving several times to keep up with increasing inventory.
Despite long hours at the store, Schweizer always made time for his three children, and later his seven grandchildren, Todd Schweizer said.
"He did what he had to do to produce for his family, but Dad would go to the baseball games of his kids and grandkids," Todd said.
Schweizer was community-minded, said former state Rep. Jerry Melvin. He served on the Fort Walton Beach City Council and Okaloosa County Jury Commission, was a member of the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce and was recognized as the chamber's Businessman of the Year in 1984.
"He was always involved in whatever activities were going on," Melvin said.
Art's Appliance Super Store moved to its final location on Mary Esther Cut-Off in 1990.
It was a family business — Schweizer's wife, Joan, and their children all worked there. Eventually, his daughter Karnise bought the store from him.
"He regretted selling it because he loved going to work," Todd said.
The business fell victim to the difficult economy and closed in 2011.
The family legacy will not end there. Art's Anything Pawn and Auction, headed by Schweizer's grandson, Josh Schweizer, will host its first auction July 6 at the Mary Esther Cut-Off location.
The family planned to bring Art into the business and give him his old office back.
"He said he was looking forward to working with his grandson," Todd said.
Schweizer was a great salesman who cared about everyone, Todd said.
"He treated people as he would want to be treated," he said.
"Nowadays, if you do a business transaction, you have to have a corporate lawyer from New York," Todd added. "But you shook my dad's hand and he kept his word. Period."

Its history in the Royal Collection dates back to the reign of Charles I. But when Holbein's portrait 'Hans of Antwerp' came into royal possession in the 17th century, repairs to the painting already obscured the identity of the sitter. This week, after two years of conservation and research, staff at Royal Collection Trust can reveal details that had been lost for 400 years and clues as to who Hans of Antwerp really was. The newly conserved portrait is one of 27 works by Holbein to go on display in the exhibition The Northern Renaissance: Dürer to Holbein, opening next month at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace (2 November 2012 – 14 April 2013). ...

Pure arrogance and disrespect of the fans.... I have said this many times on the OA and I will repeat here for those that didn't:
Notch is being arrogant and putting his ego first and not the players of minecraft..... if the fans want it then he should do what the fans want.... regardless of what platform it's on.... regardless of whether he likes the store idea or not... that's one part of being a developer, sometimes you have to put your own interests aside to make your users happy.... and this is where he epically fails.... my hubby doesn't care about windows 8, yet he knew about this and thought notch was being a douchenozzle about the whole thing... he is... he's arrogant and he needs to get his head out of his buttox.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 09:39
Disrespect how?
Notch is under no obligation to support the latest Windows OS version, let alone certifying the app. AFAIK you were never promised any kind of support on future Windows releases... and yet Minecraft will anyway be running on W8, just not certified.
By the way, has Minecraft any kind of certification at all for any Windows version? If not, why is it suddenly such a big issue? Just because Notch went vocal about his reasons?
I'd take bigger offence over the fact that as far as 1.3.2 Minecraft still has problems with chunks not loading, resulting in holes in the map and/or being able to see distant mines through the floor.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 09:45
If the fans want full certified windows 8 support and he does not want to due to personal egotistical reasons that is disrespect....
Posted 02 October 2012 - 09:56
Posted 02 October 2012 - 10:30
That's where I'm at. The man made his millions and now he gets to spew his opinions, be they full of **** or not.
What fans do want full certified Windows 8 support? Minecraft fans or Win8 fans?
Did anyone actually care about that before Notch twitted about it?
Is Minecraft fully certified on Windows7? Does anyone care?
Posted 02 October 2012 - 10:58
Posted 02 October 2012 - 11:01
Pretty much this. Notch received a standard media partnership from Microsoft: Microsoft would help him certify his game for the platform and give him some cash, while making a media spin around it. Notch said no.
Minecraft is Notch's creation, he has every right to do what he damn well pleases with it.

I ordered this bottom in the teal pattern to go with a black top, and it really adds a lot of freshness and style to my swimsuit. The slim cut is extremely flattering to the hips, elongating your legs. The coverage is a bit skimpy, but I feel really sexy in this bottom!
Patagonia only makes the best swim suits. Love it all! So comfy and these particular bottoms stayed on great. They have a little less coverage than some of their other swim suit bottoms, so these were saved for my "good butt" days. Always got compliments on them when I did wear them and diving and swimming and kneeboarding and wakeboarding and running, etc. all around my summer camp at the lake front has great experience with these. Top notch and a good deal. Definitely got my money's worth!
This swim bottom comes in many different colors which will go with any other bathing suit top you have not just the one that matches. It fits true to size. Very comfortable and super cute. I usually wear a medium or a large. I got a large in this one. It fits a little big but its better than too small. lol. It has moderate back coverage. I have a two year old son, im twenty two and I still find this bathing suit to flatter my body even with my new "mom" shape. I say if your debating on this bottom or swimsuit you should definitely get it. Its not a bad price either.

That being over she "gave ihucft. thought to the need here of an efficient Lying-in "Asy-lum," as the' permit describes it. By 1923. the State Board of Health, officially represented here by Dr. Robert H. Runcje. granted ttie re-quest of Mrs. Watson. The wording of the .permit is Interesting as showing the watch-fulness of the Board. We quote in part: "Provided that each patient shall have a separate bed, and be located in a room having at least une outside window and that the beds shall be separated by spaces three, feet in width and shall be so "arranged that under each of them the air shall freely circulate; that there shall be adequate ven-tilation and for each bed or occu-pant there shall be at least 800 cubic feet of air space."., ._ Those definite provisions of the permit and everything else neces-sary were complied with by Mrs. Watson, first at 63 Pearsall ave., and then a year or so later at 131 Green ave.

Where To Buy Jewelry Wholesale
When jewelry businesses need to stock up on their inventory, they will often find businesses that sell jewelry wholesale. This allows the business to buy different types of jewelry for discounted prices. There are many types of jewelry that companies can buy; such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings. Department stores will buy bulk wholesale jewelry since they are reselling it for a profit.
One type of jewelry that companies can find online for a discounted price are necklaces. People who buy the stores products will go online to buy silver, gold, and pearl necklaces. They can buy as little as a dozen or as many as a few hundred for their stores.
Fashion jewelry is cheaper jewelry that the younger generations buy. This type of jewelry often has fake jewels and beads that create the jewelry. There are several different styles and colors that people can choose from when they want to stock up on earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
Rings are popular with females both young and old. Stores will buy a variety of styles and sizes for customers to buy. There are bands made of gold, silver, and platinum. These are more expensive rings, but they still can be purchased at a wholesale price. Other types of rings that department stores stock up on are: mood rings, shell rings, faux pearl rings, and birthstone rings.
Department stores and several places in the mall sell a variety of earrings. There are studs, dangling, hoops, and more. There are high end earrings that jewelers will buy for their store and department stores often buy wholesale cubic zirconium earrings, as well as gemstone earrings. Stores will often buy one dozen or more at a time to keep in stock.
There is a demand for glass and high end bead jewelry in today's market. Women like the look that crystal and glass beads give to necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Purchasers keep a large stock of beaded jewelry to satisfy their customers. There are also charm bracelets that people are rushing to the store to buy, since they can add to the stock bracelet.
When purchasers need to buy jewelry wholesale, they will look online to search for the best discounted prices. They can buy twelve necklaces, or they can buy two hundred necklaces. The more people buy of one product, the greater the discount will be. There are thousands of types of designs that are available to buy. Stores will buy fashion jewelry at a low price, and they will sell it for a higher price to gain a profit on the item. High end jewelers will often buy gold and silver chains and ring bands in bulk to stock their inventories.

EGLIN AFB — Sometimes you have to tear something down to build it up.
At least that's the philosophy behind logging on Eglin's reservation.
Motorists in north Okaloosa County may have noticed small sections of the forest are being nearly clear-cut.
The loggers are removing sand pine trees, which have invaded the area from their habitat closer to the coast. The process helps restore the native longleaf pine ecosystem, home to old-growth trees and a host of plants and animals, some of them endangered.
The logging is a practice land managers have been using for years, just often not in public view.
"Probably 365 days a year we have a logger working somewhere on Eglin. This one just happens to be visible to the public, so it's generated a few questions," said Al Sutsko, timber management forester for Eglin's natural resource department.
He noted that the reservation, which covers 724 square miles, has plenty of places for loggers to hide, even though they're not trying.
Loggers now are working on a 325-acre parcel at the northwest corner of State Road 285 and Bob Sikes Road near Mossy Head. The land is within the footprint of the Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal school.
The loggers should begin clearing another 450 acres on the west side of State Road 85 about two miles north of the intersection of State Road 123 within the next two weeks.
The sand pine, a fast-growth tree, originally was located in dune ecosystems and on barrier islands in Northwest Florida. Over time, they moved inland and spread quickly in the sandy soils on the Eglin reservation.
"The sand pine really has taken over," Sutsko said. "It has become the No. 1 threat to our longleafs because it grows faster and reproduces at a much earlier age."
The threat has grown over the past 50 or 60 years as foresters moved toward more fire suppression. Before that, naturally occurring wildfires would help clear out the scrappy sand pines, which are less fire-tolerant than the longleafs.
Now, land managers use a combination of logging and prescribed burns to clear the forests and make room for the longleaf ecosystem to thrive.
Every year loggers clear about 85,000 acres and harvest about 75,000 tons of vegetation, primarily sand pines, for timber.
Companies buy the timber for pulp wood, which is used to make cardboard boxes, fluff for diapers and other paper products.
The revenue from the timber sales goes to Eglin's land management program and covers most of its operating budget, Sutsko said.
That includes funding the arduous process of hand-planting longleaf seedlings where needed.
On average, about 750,000 seedlings are planted each year. One year Eglin planted more than 1 million, Sutsko noted.
The International Paper mill in Pensacola has purchased the timber from the current logging project near Mossy head.
The sellable-size trees will be used for the usual pulp wood, but the smaller ones also will be harvested and chipped for fuel wood. The plant will burn that wood in a boiler that runs the paper mill.
That saves Eglin time and money it would take to clear out the smaller trees after logging is complete.
"It's a pretty good deal for us, almost like instant restoration," Sutsko said.
Eglin's land managers have been working for decades to protect the longleaf forest.
Among other species, the forest is home to the red-cockaded woodpecker, which is listed as an endangered species.
The population status of the birds — they are about 7 inches long with a 15-inch wingspan — is considered an indicator of the overall health of the forest.
Over the last 20 years the woodpecker population has been rebuilding on Eglin.
"We've seen the population grow year after year," Sutsko said. "The red-cockaded woodpecker is thriving and the habitat is in really good shape."
In 2011, the federal government deemed Eglin's population of the woodpeckers recovered, or no longer close to extinction, said Mike Spaits, environmental spokesman for Eglin
Eglin has 416 potential breeding pairs. Pairs must number 350 to be considered recovered.
Spaits said Eglin's population is doing so well that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has asked to take some of its birds to other forests where the population isn't faring so well.
He said that's a testament to land managers' efforts to create a healthier habitat at Eglin.
"For land managers to be able to say that their efforts to restore the ecosystem back to its natural state has also had the impact that they are bringing back a whole species, well you could say that's a real feather in their cap."

(CNN) -- Authorities in Tennessee are asking for the public's help to find two children presumed missing after a fire destroyed their home.
The children -- identified as 9-year-old Chloie Leverette and 7-year-old Gage Daniel -- were last seen Sunday around 6:30 p.m., approximately three hours before their home burned down, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, or TBI.
They lived with their grandparents in Unionville, Tennessee.
"After an extensive five day search, multiple fire experts have processed the scene and are unable to locate evidence that Chloie and Gage were victims of the fire. The location of Chloie and Gage are unknown at this time," the TBI said.
Investigators recovered the bodies of the grandparents, according to Kristin Helm, a TBI spokeswoman, and feel fairly certain they would have found the children if they had been there. They have no theories as to the kids' whereabouts.
The TBI concluded its search of the home Friday, Helm said. She said the biological parents of the children have been contacted and are cooperating.
There was nothing to indicate Chloie and Gage were home at the time of the fire, the spokeswoman said. The cause of the blaze was not immediately clear.

Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969) was President of the United States from 1953 until 1961 and a five-star general in the United States Army. During the Second World War, he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, with responsibility for planning and supervising the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944–45. In 1951, he became the first supreme commander of NATO.
As President, he oversaw the cease-fire of the Korean War, kept up the pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, made nuclear weapons a higher defense priority, launched the Space Race, enlarged the Social Security program, and began the Interstate Highway System.
Eisenhower was born David Dwight Eisenhower in Denison, Texas, the first president born in that state. He was the third of seven sons born to David Jacob Eisenhower and Ida Elizabeth Stover. The house in which he was born has been preserved as Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site and is operated by the Texas Historical Commission.
He was named David Dwight and was called Dwight; he reversed the order of his given names when he entered West Point,, which is also where "Ike" received his nickname.
Eisenhower's paternal ancestors can be traced back to Hans Nicolas Eisenhauer, whose surname was German for "iron worker. Hans Eisenhauer and his family emigrated from Karlsbrunn (Saarland), Germany to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1741. Descendants made their way west. Eisenhower's family settled in Abilene, Kansas in 1892. His father David Eisenhower was a college-educated engineer. Eisenhower graduated from Abilene High School in 1909.
Eisenhower married Mamie Geneva Doud (1896–1979) of Denver, Colorado on July 1, 1916. The couple had two sons. Doud Dwight Eisenhower was born September 24, 1917, and died of scarlet fever on January 2, 1921, at the age of three. Their second son, John Sheldon David Doud Eisenhower, was born the following year on August 3, 1922; John served in the United States Army (retiring as a brigadier general from the Army reserve), became an author, and served as U.S. Ambassador to Belgium from 1969 to 1971. John, coincidentally, graduated from West Point on D-Day, June 6, 1944, and was married to Barbara Jean Thompson in a June wedding in 1947. John and Barbara had four children: Dwight David II, Barbara Ann, Susan Elaine and Mary Jean. John's son, David, after whom Camp David is named, married Richard Nixon's daughter Julie in 1968.
When Eisenhower joined the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York in 1911, his ties to Jehovah's Witnesses were weakened because of the group's anti-militarist stance. By 1915, his parents' home no longer served as the meeting hall. All the men in the household abandoned the Witnesses as adults. Some hid their previous affiliation. At his death in 1942, Eisenhower's father was given funeral rites as though he remained a Jehovah's Witness. Eisenhower's mother continued as an active Jehovah's Witness until her death. Despite their differences in religious beliefs, Eisenhower enjoyed a close relationship with his mother.
Eisenhower was baptized, confirmed, and became a communicant in the Presbyterian Church in a single ceremony on February 1, 1953, just 12 days after his first inauguration. He is the only president known to have undertaken these rites while in office. Eisenhower was instrumental in the addition of the words "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, and the 1956 adoption of "In God We Trust" as the motto of the US, and its 1957 introduction on paper currency. In his retirement years, he was a member of the Gettysburg Presbyterian Church. The chapel at his presidential library is intentionally inter-denominational.
He questioned Billy Graham about how people can be certain they are going to Heaven after death.
Eisenhower was sworn into office with his personal West Point Bible, open to Psalm 33:12, at both his 1953 and 1957 inaugural ceremonies. Additionally for 1953, he included the Bible that George Washington had used in 1789 (belonging to St. John's Masonic Lodge No. 1), opened to II Chronicles 7:14.
After Dwight worked for two years to support his brother Edgar's college education, a friend urged him to apply to the Naval Academy. Though Eisenhower passed the entrance exam, he was beyond the age of eligibility for admission to the Naval Academy.
Kansas Senator Joseph L. Bristow recommended Dwight for an appointment to the Military Academy in 1911, which he received. Eisenhower graduated in the upper half of the class of 1915.
Eisenhower long had aspirations of playing professional baseball. He is quoted as saying:
At West Point, Eisenhower tried out for the baseball team but did not make it. He would later be quoted as saying that "Not making the baseball team at West Point was one of the greatest disappointments of my life, maybe my greatest." But Eisenhower did make the football team. He started as a varsity running back and linebacker in 1912. In a bit of a fabled match-up, he even tackled the legendary Jim Thorpe in a 1912 game. The next week however, Eisenhower would hurt his knee after being tackled around the ankles, which he would soon worsen and permanently damage on horseback and in the boxing ring. He would later serve as junior varsity football coach and yell leader.
Controversy persists over whether Eisenhower played minor league (semi-professional) baseball for Junction City in the Central Kansas League the year before he attended West Point and played amateur football there.
In 1916, while stationed at Fort Sam Houston, Eisenhower was football coach for St. Louis College, now St. Mary's University.
Eisenhower graduated in 1915. He served with the infantry until 1918 at various camps in Texas and Georgia. During World War I, Eisenhower became the #3 leader of the new tank corps and rose to temporary (Bvt.) Lieutenant Colonel in the National Army. He spent the war training tank crews in Pennsylvania and never saw combat. After the war, Eisenhower reverted to his regular rank of captain (and was promoted to major a few days later) before assuming duties at Camp Meade, Maryland, where he remained until 1922. His interest in tank warfare was strengthened by many conversations with George S. Patton and other senior tank leaders; however their ideas on tank warfare were strongly discouraged by superiors.
Eisenhower became executive officer to General Fox Conner in the Panama Canal Zone, where he served until 1924. Under Conner's tutelage, he studied military history and theory (including Karl von Clausewitz's On War), and later cited Conner's enormous influence on his military thinking. In 1925–26, he attended the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and then served as a battalion commander at Fort Benning, Georgia until 1927.
During the late 1920s and early 1930s Eisenhower's career in the peacetime Army stagnated; many of his friends resigned for high paying business jobs. He was assigned to the American Battle Monuments Commission, directed by General John J. Pershing, then to the Army War College, and then served as executive officer to General George V. Mosely, Assistant Secretary of War, from 1929 to 1933. He then served as chief military aide to General Douglas MacArthur, Army Chief of Staff, until 1935, when he accompanied MacArthur to the Philippines, where he served as assistant military adviser to the Philippine government. It is sometimes said that this assignment provided valuable preparation for handling the challenging personalities of Winston Churchill, George S. Patton and Bernard Law Montgomery during World War II. Eisenhower was promoted to lieutenant colonel (in a non-brevet status) in 1936 after sixteen years as a major. He also learned to fly, although he was never rated as a military pilot. He made a solo flight over the Philippines in 1937.
Eisenhower returned to the U.S. in 1939 and held a series of staff positions in Washington, D.C., California and Texas. In June 1941, he was appointed Chief of Staff to General Walter Krueger, Commander of the 3rd Army, at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. He was promoted to brigadier general on October 3, 1941. Although his administrative abilities had been noticed, on the eve of the U.S. entry into World War II he had never held an active command and was far from being considered as a potential commander of major operations.
After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Eisenhower was assigned to the General Staff in Washington, where he served until June 1942 with responsibility for creating the major war plans to defeat Japan and Germany. He was appointed Deputy Chief in charge of Pacific Defenses under the Chief of War Plans Division, General Leonard T. Gerow, and then succeeded Gerow as Chief of the War Plans Division. Then he was appointed Assistant Chief of Staff in charge of Operations Division under Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall. It was his close association with Marshall that finally brought Eisenhower to senior command positions. Marshall recognized his great organizational and administrative abilities.
In 1942, Eisenhower was appointed Commanding General, European Theater of Operations (ETOUSA) and was based in London. In November, he was also appointed Supreme Commander Allied (Expeditionary) Force of the North African Theater of Operations (NATOUSA) through the new operational Headquarters A(E)FHQ. The word "expeditionary" was dropped soon after his appointment for security reasons. In February 1943, his authority was extended as commander of AFHQ across the Mediterranean basin to include the British 8th Army, commanded by General Bernard Law Montgomery. The 8th Army had advanced across the Western Desert from the east and was ready for the start of the Tunisia Campaign. Eisenhower gained his fourth star and gave up command of ETOUSA to be commander of NATOUSA. After the capitulation of Axis forces in North Africa, Eisenhower remained in command of the renamed Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO), keeping the operational title and continued in command of NATOUSA redesignated MTOUSA. In this position he oversaw the invasion of Sicily and the invasion of the Italian mainland.
In December 1943, it was announced that Eisenhower would be Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. In January 1944, he resumed command of ETOUSA and the following month was officially designated as the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), serving in a dual role until the end of hostilities in Europe in May 1945. In these positions he was charged with planning and carrying out the Allied assault on the coast of Normandy in June 1944 under the code name Operation Overlord, the liberation of western Europe and the invasion of Germany. A month after the Normandy D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, the invasion of southern France took place, and control of the forces which took part in the southern invasion passed from the AFHQ to the SHAEF. From then until the end of the War in Europe on May 8, 1945, Eisenhower through SHAEF had supreme command of all operational Allied forces2, and through his command of ETOUSA, administrative command of all U.S. forces, on the Western Front north of the Alps.
As recognition of his senior position in the Allied command, on December 20, 1944, he was promoted to General of the Army equivalent to the rank of Field Marshal in most European armies. In this and the previous high commands he held, Eisenhower showed his great talents for leadership and diplomacy. Although he had never seen action himself, he won the respect of front-line commanders. He dealt skillfully with difficult subordinates such as Omar Bradley and Patton, and allies such as Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and General Charles de Gaulle. He had fundamental disagreements with Churchill and Montgomery over questions of strategy, but these rarely upset his relationships with them. He negotiated with Soviet Marshal Zhukov, and such was the confidence that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had in him, he sometimes worked directly with Stalin, much to the chagrin of the British High Command who disliked being bypassed. During the advance towards Berlin, he was notified by General Bradley that Allied forces would suffer an estimated 100,000 casualties before taking the city. The Soviet Army sustained 80,000 casualties during the fighting in and around Berlin, the last large number of casualties suffered in the war against Nazism.
It was never certain that Operation Overlord would succeed. The seriousness surrounding the entire decision, including the timing and the location of the Normandy invasion, might be summarized by a second shorter speech that Eisenhower wrote in advance, in case he needed it. Long after the successful landings on D-Day and the BBC broadcast of Eisenhower's brief speech concerning them, the never-used second speech was found in a shirt pocket by an aide. It read:
1948 also was the year that Eisenhower's memoir, Crusade in Europe, was published. It is widely regarded as one of the finest U.S. military memoirs.
Not long after his return in 1952, a "Draft Eisenhower" movement in the Republican party persuaded him to declare his candidacy in the 1952 presidential election to counter the candidacy of non-inteventionists Senator Robert Taft. (Eisenhower had been courted by both parties in 1948 and had declined to run then.) Eisenhower defeated Taft for the nomination but came to an agreement that Taft would stay out of foreign affairs while Eisenhower followed a conservative domestic policy. Eisenhower's campaign was a crusade against the Truman administration's policies regarding "Korea, Communism and Corruption" and was also noted for the simple but effective phrase "I Like Ike." Eisenhower promised to go to Korea himself and end the war and maintain both a strong NATO abroad against Communism and a corruption-free frugal administration at home. He and his running mate Richard Nixon, whose daughter later married Eisenhower's grandson David, defeated Democrats Adlai Stevenson and John Sparkman in a landslide, marking the first Republican return to the White House in 20 years. Eisenhower was the only general to serve as President in the 20th century, and the most recent President to have never held elected office prior to the Presidency. (The other Presidents not to have sought prior elected office were Zachary Taylor, Ulysses S. Grant, William Taft, and Herbert Hoover.)
Throughout his presidency, Eisenhower preached a doctrine of dynamic conservatism. He continued all the major New Deal programs still in operation, especially Social Security. He expanded its programs and rolled them into a new cabinet-level agency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, while extending benefits to an additional ten million workers. His cabinet, consisting of several corporate executives and one labor leader, was dubbed by one journalist, "Eight millionaires and a plumber.
Eisenhower won his second term in 1956 with 457 of 531 votes in the Electoral College, and 57.6% of the popular vote.
One of Eisenhower's enduring achievements was championing and signing the bill that authorized the Interstate Highway System in 1956. He justified the project through the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 as essential to American security during the Cold War. It was believed that large cities would be targets in a possible future war, and the highways were designed to evacuate them and allow the military to move in.
Eisenhower's goal to create improved highways was influenced by his involvement in the U.S. Army's 1919 Transcontinental Motor Convoy. He was assigned as an observer for the mission, which involved sending a convoy of U.S. Army vehicles coast to coast. His subsequent experience with German autobahns during World War II convinced him of the benefits of an Interstate Highway System. Noticing the improved ability to move logistics throughout the country, he thought an Interstate Highway System in the U.S. would not only be beneficial for military operations, but be the building block for continued economic growth.
In addition, Eisenhower explored the option of supporting the French colonial forces in Vietnam who were fighting an independence insurrection there. However, Chief of Staff Matthew Ridgway dissuaded the President from intervening by presenting a comprehensive estimate of the massive military deployment that would be necessary.
In 1961, Eisenhower became the first U.S. president to be "constitutionally forced" from office, having served the maximum two terms allowed by the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment was ratified in 1951, during Harry S. Truman's term, but it stipulated that Truman would not be affected by the amendment.
Eisenhower was also the first outgoing President to come under the protection of the Former Presidents Act (two then living former Presidents, Herbert Hoover and Harry S. Truman, left office before Act was passed). Under the act, Eisenhower was entitled to receive a lifetime pension, state-provided staff and a Secret Service detail.
In the 1960 election to choose his successor, Eisenhower endorsed his own Vice President, Republican Richard Nixon against Democrat John F. Kennedy. However, he only campaigned for Nixon in the campaign's final days and even did Nixon some harm. When asked by reporters at the end of a televised press conference to list one of Nixon's policy ideas he had adopted, he replied, "If you give me a week, I might think of one." Kennedy's campaign used the quote in one of its campaign commercials. Nixon lost narrowly to Kennedy.
On January 17, 1961, Eisenhower gave his final televised Address to the Nation from the Oval Office. In his farewell speech to the nation, Eisenhower raised the issue of the Cold War and role of the U.S. armed forces. He described the Cold War saying: "We face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose and insidious in method..." and warned about what he saw as unjustified government spending proposals and continued with a warning that "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex... Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
Because of legal issues related to holding a military rank while in a civilian office, Eisenhower resigned his permanent commission as General of the Army before entering the office of President of the United States. Upon completion of his Presidential term, his commission on the retired list was reactivated and Eisenhower again was commissioned a five-star general in the United States Army.
Eisenhower's picture was on the dollar coin from 1971 to 1978. Nearly 700 million of the copper-nickel clad coins were minted for general circulation, and far smaller numbers of uncirculated and proof issues (in both copper-nickel and 40% silver varieties) were produced for collectors. He reappeared on a commemorative silver dollar issued in 1990, celebrating the 100th anniversary of his birth, which with a double image of him showed his two roles, as both a soldier and a statesman. As part of the Presidential $1 Coin Program, Eisenhower will be featured on a gold-colored dollar coin in 2015.
He is remembered for ending the Korean War. USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, the second Nimitz-class supercarrier, was named in his honor.
The Eisenhower Expressway (Interstate 290), a long expressway in the Chicago area, was renamed after him.
The British A4 class steam locomotive No. 4496 (renumbered 60008) Golden Shuttle was renamed Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1946. It is preserved at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Eisenhower College was a small, liberal arts college chartered in Seneca Falls, New York in 1965, with classes beginning in 1968. Financial problems forced the school to fall under the management of the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1979. Its last class graduated in 1982.
The Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California was named after the President in 1971.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center, located at Fort Gordon near Augusta, Georgia, was named in his honor.
In February 1971, Dwight D. Eisenhower School of Freehold Township, New Jersey was officially opened.
The Eisenhower Tunnel was completed in 1979; it conveys westbound traffic on I-70 through the Continental Divide, west of Denver, Colorado.
In 1983, The Eisenhower Institute was founded in Washington, D.C., as a policy institute to advance Eisenhower's intellectual and leadership legacies.
In 1999, the United States Congress created the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission, which is in the planning stages of creating an enduring national memorial in Washington, D.C., across the street from the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall.
On May 7, 2002, the Old Executive Office Building was officially renamed the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. This building is part of the White House Complex, west of the West Wing. It currently houses a number of executive offices, including ones for the Vice President and his or her spouse.
A county park in East Meadow, New York (Long Island) is named in his honor. In addition, Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma near his birthplace of Denison is named in his honor; his actual birthplace is currently operated by the State of Texas as Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site.
Many public high schools and middle schools in the U.S. are named after Eisenhower.
There is a Mount Eisenhower in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
A tree overhanging the 17th hole that always gave him trouble at Augusta National, where he was a member, is named in his honor.
The Eisenhower Golf Club at the United States Air Force Academy, a 36-hole facility featuring the Blue and Silver courses and which is ranked #1 among DoD courses, is named in Eisenhower's honor.
In Order of Precedence
He was also an honorary member of the Boy Scouts of America's Tom Kita Chara Lodge #96.

For many people, the best way to escape the dog days of summer is to jump in the nearest pool. Until recently that wasn't always an option for some Starkville citizens. However, the Starkville Parks and Recreation Department along with the Starkville Disability Commission says the water is fine, so come on in.
A new chair lift has been installed at the Moncrief Park pool to help those with disabilities, injuries or limited use of motion enjoy a break from the hot summer and utilize the pool for therapy. Beth Ann Ellzey said the lift provides "affordable and accessible physical therapy." She has used water for most of her life to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness and gain upper body strength.
Kenneth Gordon, parks and recreation maintenance director, installed the lift himself and says he is excited about the opportunities this will bring to the people of Starkville. The lifeguards at Moncrief Park have been trained to use the new chair lift and assist those with special needs to get in and out of the pool. The guards work in teams of two, with one guard standing by the pool to operate the lift while the other guard is in the pool to assist from the water. If needed, a transfer board is also available.
Ellzey offered to demonstrate the chair in use and said she felt very comfortable and safe both entering and exiting the water. Ellzey was also on hand to help educate the lifeguards and answer any questions they might have regarding the individual needs of different disabilities.
Tiffany Hamlin, chair of the Starkville Commission on Disability, said she was thrilled when Matthew Rhy of the Starkville Parks and Recreation Department contacted the commission to discuss purchasing the lift.
"I was really impressed the need was noticed," Hamlin said. "We want the public to know the pool is here for everyone, and we want everyone to have the opportunity to enjoy it."
The Moncrief Park pool is open Monday through Saturday from 1-5 p.m. and Sunday from 2-4 p.m. for regular swim. Family swim times are Monday through Thursday and Sunday evenings from 5:15-7 p.m. Regular swim is for anyone eight years of age or older. During family swim, one adult must be present to accompany every eight children. Pool passes cost $1 daily for children 12 and under, $2 daily for 13 and older, and summer passes can be purchased for $35 for an individual and $50 for a family. The family pass covers up to eight people.
Two handicapped parking spaces are available at the pool, and the pool itself is accessible to those in manual and motorized wheel chairs. People interested in using the lift should notify life guards upon arrival for assistance.

WWII pilot defeated German and Japanese foes
Ace played role when San Diego became naval aviation "center of universe"
"I wanted to go to the Pacific," Laird said. "That appeared to me to be where the Navy's air war was."
But the Navy assigned him to the carrier Ranger, supporting the British fleet in Scotland. The young pilot, already disappointed, was soon nauseous. Seasick on the tossing North Atlantic, Laird only felt well when he was aloft. He volunteered for mission after mission.
On Oct. 4, 1943, flying through rain squalls near the Orkney Islands, Laird thought he saw a shadow flit behind a cloud. The pilot and his section leader pounced, catching a German fighter. This was Laird's first kill — and a floatplane, ambushed later that day, became his second.
Two months later, Laird was transferred to the Pacific. As eager as he had been to duel Japanese pilots, he fretted about his timing.
"We were out there at a really rotten time for fighter pilots," he said. Earlier battles "had destroyed so many Japanese aircraft, there were hardly any left to shoot at."
But there were some. In November 1944, he shot down a Japanese fighter. In January 1945, another. On Feb. 17, 1945, two more.
Soon after, orders arrived sending him back to San Diego. He obeyed — under protest.
"I want to stay out here," he insisted.
"You're crazy!" his commanding officer replied.
Once again, the Navy ignored Laird's wishes. But it did give him something special, a medal that unites fliers across all branches of the armed services with its singular recognition of aerial excellence.
The Distinguished Flying Cross.
The Society
Created by an act of Congress in 1926, the DFC is a four-bladed propeller symbolizing flight superimposed on a bronze cross symbolizing sacrifice. It hangs from a ribbon of red, white and blue.
One of the first recipients was Charles Lindbergh for flying solo across the Atlantic in May 1927. His plane, "The Spirit of St. Louis," was built in San Diego.
Creators of the DFC, remembering the dogfight derring-do of World War I aces, always envisioned it would be awarded not just to aviation pioneers, but also to combat giants. World War II gave them the avenue.
Rudy Matz, who lives now in Poway, earned three crosses, one for shooting down four Japanese planes in a single day during 1944's Battle of the Philippine Sea. Steve Pisanos, a Rancho Bernardo resident, shot down 10 German planes — making him a double ace — and has five DFCs.
Their stories are among dozens featured in a recent book, "On Heroic Wings," co-authored by Cal State San Marcos professor Laura Wendling and published by the Distinguished Flying Cross Society, which is based in San Diego.
"Like any medal, the DFC really illuminates individuals who have gone above and beyond," Wendling said. "What I realized very quickly in talking to them is how humble they are. Their families have this medal lying in a drawer and they have no idea what it stands for — that it honors people who made a difference in the history of the world."

I could really care less how people on here take my post as in my opinion most of the people on this board are too scared of offending others. I have long believed as a society that we have gone too far in the PC direction.
The bottom line is while I do not get the whole transgender thing I could also care less about it. What a person wants to do is there business and has never effected me. Have I cracked jokes about it before. Yes. Do I care if it offends people. No. But again I think people are too sensitive. Have I trashed her for changing from a man to a woman? No. Again its his / her business (and no thats not a back handed slap cuz she was a he when he made the choice)
My issue is her fighting. I do not think she has the right and I do not think the commission should let her. I was all for the commission when they suspended her license and I do not think they should have reinstated it. I am sorry, but choices people make effect what they can do in the future. She was 30 before she became a she. She was a full grown man. If she wants to do anything else in the world fine, but she should not be allowed to compete against women in a combat sport. If you want to think Im a bigot or simple minded thats your choice. Chances are we will not agree on many things but I doubt I really care about your opinion anymore than you care about mine.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
Joplin, MO—When devastating tornados hit Joplin, MO in May, the nation froze in its tracks as it heard news of 150+ deaths. But one retailer that did not stand still was Suzanne Charron, owner of Suzanne's Natural Foods of Joplin, who mobilized the community to help hundreds of its displaced community members.
U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) believes consumers need better information about supplements, and wants to have legislation enacted to make it so. The Dietary Supplement Labeling Act, he feels, will do the job.

Once Again Nut Butter, located in Nunda, N.Y., is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Without a doubt, the company sticks to its promise of integrity like peanut butter on bread.
When asked to describe Natur-Tyme, WholeFoods Magazine's 2011 Retailer of the Year, customers in a focus group associated the store with terms like "wellness," "health," "information" and "learning center." No one ascribed to it the generic title of "health food store," and that is likely because this Syracuse, NY natural products retailer is anything, and everything, but generic.
