Is It Real, or Is It a Political Head Fake?
- By Charlie Cook

In the early 1970s there was a classic television commercial for Memorex, a company just entering the consumer market for high-quality audio cassettes. In the commercial, jazz great Ella Fitzgerald would hit a high note, shattering a wine glass. Then, they would play her back on tape, shattering the glass again. The tagline on the ad was, "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" Sometimes in politics, we see or sense something happening and wonder if it is real, if it is a new trend, or if it is just a noisy event or aberration. It seems that during most national elections, at some point between Labor Day and Election Day, there is a political head fake that takes place, something that briefly makes you wonder or starts to convince you that there has been a change in direction. Usually though, things just revert to where they were before.
Over the last couple of weeks, we've seen this happen again. Most independent analysts and astute observers were giving Republicans the edge in the fight for the Senate majority in the November elections, but then a few polls and the weirdness taking place in Kansas began to suggest that maybe...
A Razor-Thin Lead for the GOP
- By Charlie Cook
- September 22, 2014
- Leave a comment
Are things getting better for Senate Democrats? Certainly many of the better (more reliable) statistical models seem to suggest they are. Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight moved from a 64 percent chance of the GOP gaining a majority, predicted on Sept. 3, to a 54.7 percent chance on Sept. 15. As of Sept. 16, The New York Times' Upshot model, nicknamed Leo, put GOP chances at 51 percent; they were at 67 percent on Aug. 26. The conventional wisdom also appears to have shifted over the past week. What, if anything, has happened to cause this shift?
A little bit of the change can be attributed to methodological shifts among forecasters; as statistical modelers add new elements to their computations, the new data affect the output of their models. But that does not explain all of the shift. The most significant reason seems to be that in this year's competitive Senate races in purple states—those where either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney won by narrow margins—Democrats are, for the most part, holding their own or even improving their odds.
In North Carolina, for example, Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan has now built a lead over GOP state House...
How Awful Will the Midterms be for the Democrats?
- By Charlie Cook
- September 15, 2014
- Leave a comment
In bad midterm-election years, members of a president's party often find the political climate challenging. In some ways, it is like a swimmer encountering riptides or facing strong undertows. The degree of the danger varies from location to location, and in many cases, weak swimmers struggle in this environment; occasionally, even an Olympic-level swimmer perishes.
In 2010—President Obama's first midterm election—Democratic congressional candidates struggled mightily. The party suffered a net loss of six Senate seats and 63 seats in the House. That was the worst loss for either party in any election since 1948, and the largest loss in a midterm election since 1938. Fallout from the health care debate and the Affordable Care Act contributed heavily to Democratic losses, but that legislation was hardly the sole reason for them.
The shoe was on the other foot in 2006—President Bush's second midterm election—when, between an increasingly unpopular war in Iraq and the administration's mishandling of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the election was a total horror show for GOP candidates. It was like watching a car wreck in slow motion. I vividly remember conversations with key GOP campaign committee strategists who began...
Explaining Barack Obama's Terrible Political Summer
- By Charlie Cook
- September 8, 2014
- Leave a comment
Now that Labor Day is behind us, the most remarkable thing about this midterm election is how little has changed since Memorial Day. In the closest and most crucial contest, for control of the U.S. Senate, only the race in Kansas looks fundamentally different than it did three months ago. Strategists in both parties have been asking, "What's the matter with Kansas?" The Democratic nominee's sudden decision to withdraw from the race this week will make it more competitive. Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, who sustained some damage in his primary, will now face independent candidate Greg Orman. Orman has the backing of some of the moderate GOP leaders in the state. But that's the only major change of the summer, despite more than a billion dollars already spent in what the experts at Kantar Media/CMAG estimate will end up being $5.5 billion to $6.5 billion in total campaign expenditures on all levels this election cycle.
One question has become more pressing as Election Day nears: Where is the Republican wave? For Democrats, the good news is that there doesn't appear to be an overwhelming Republican tide this year; the bad news is...
Why Incumbents Shouldn't Feel Safe
- By Scott Bland
- August 11, 2014
- Leave a comment
Relatively few members of Congress have lost primaries this year, and so far, no senators have. But that doesn't mean they feel safe.
And they shouldn't.
Notably, more members of Congress, especially on the Republican side of the aisle, are doing worse in primaries this year. By one measure, the party's incumbents have had more competitive primaries in the three even-year elections from 2010 onward than in the five such elections of the 2000s.
The tea party may not be ending many incumbents' careers this year, but the movement is clearly still potent.
A review of every congressional party primary from 2000 onward shows that relatively few incumbents faced even marginally competitive primaries from 2000 to 2008. Only 100 House incumbents out of 1,929 finished with less than 70 percent of their primary vote in those five elections, a rate of just over 5 percent every election.
But with this year's primaries still ongoing, the number of incumbents dropping below 70 percent has already reached 120 (out of 927 contests) from 2010 through 2014, a 13 percent rate. Over the past three elections, more than twice as many House incumbents per year have been bleeding...

Green Star - Interiors
Imagine being able to assess the interior fitout of any building type – whether that's a hospital, a school, a shop or an office. The Green Star – Interiors tool will be able to do just that.
This innovative rating tool takes a quantum leap from Green Star – Office Interiors v1.1. According to Green Star Technical Manager, Jorge Chapa, the principal difference between Green Star – Interiors and its predecessor is the number of credits contained within.
"Our new tool will feature 35 credits, including Innovation. This is far less than the 51 credits currently featured in the Green Star – Office Interiors v1.1 tool," Jorge says.
"It's important to emphasise that this reduction in credits does not equal a reduction in rigour or impact. Green Star – Interiors contains a number of new credits for issues not addressed in the previous rating tool.
"New credits address issues such as ergonomics, glare from lighting, sustainable procurement guides, construction and demolition waste, and even light pollution," he adds.
The Green Building Council of Australia has worked hard to ensure the new rating tool is 'sector agnostic'. This means it provides guidance on fitouts based on activities, and complexity, detailing performance criteria that apply to most fitout types. When interpretation is required for a certain sector, the credit provides guidance on how a project must address the issue.
Green Star – Interiors will be released for PILOT later in 2012. Information on the development of the rating tool will be available shortly.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe jumped into a taxi to pursue a suspect after the driver complained his passengers had refused to pay the fare and stolen cash from him.
Sir Bernard, who was taking part in a pre-recorded interview with BBC London 94.9 Drivetime presenter Eddie Nestor near Bruce Grove station in Tottenham, north London, joined the chase first in the minicab and later in a squad car.
He went on to apprehend a teenager, Scotland Yard said.
The driver, who gave his name as Mohammed, said he was not aware of the identity of the officer who came to his aid, but described him as a "very good, very kind" man.
It is not the first time Sir Bernard has gone back to his "bobby" roots. In 2006, when he was chief constable of Merseyside Police, he chased and arrested a suspected drink-driver in Liverpool.
It means Sir Bernard has made an arrest in every rank he has held since becoming an officer in 1979, Scotland Yard said.

In this course, Dennis Taylor shares easy-to-use database commands and methods for maintaining an Excel database. The course covers sorting, adding subtotals, auto-filtering, and using the Excel Advanced Filter feature and specialized database functions.
Sometimes you need to sort data based not on alphabetical or numerical order, but on the order of data as it appears in a list. And it could be one of Excel's built-in lists or it could be a list that you've created. As we look at this particular worksheet, we might want to sort the data based on the information in column H. Column H contains formulas. Take a look at cell H2. So I double-click it. It looks like it's a rather complex formula but that's actually pretty easy. It simply pulls out the month of each of these Hire Dates.
And perhaps what we're aiming for here is a list that's sorted alphabetically by month so we can just know when someone is having an anniversary month we want to print that data out. So we'd like to sort based on the data in column H, and if we're in a hurry we can certainly use the AZ button as we see it on the Data tab here. It's going to sort the data based on the data in column H. And there we are and April comes first. But wait a minute here! Aren't we thinking, shouldn't January be first? Well, no, this is an alphabetic sort. We see April, then we see August, then December. We didn't do anything special to indicate to Excel that there is anything unusual here, but we do have at our fingertips a way to sort this data chronologically.
We must use the Sort command. It's on the Data tab just to the right of the AZ, ZA buttons. Let's click this again. We do want to sort by Month, we want to sort on Values, but not that A to Z order, because built into Excel is a custom list and we do see the months abbreviated and full spellings. We have full spellings here. This is the one we'll use. We want to sort chronologically, not alphabetically, and by making this choice and clicking OK, that's exactly what happens. Easy and fast.
So anytime you need to sort on a column that's got monthly names, either abbreviations or full spellings or possibly day of the week, you probably want to chronological sort in both cases. That's what we've done here with these custom lists. Now, there are other situations too where you might need to sort in a particular order. I'm going to sort this data based on what we see in column F. A quick AZ sort again from the Ribbon on the Data tab and the Contract people come first. Remember, there are also, as you see this here on the screen, Full Time, Half-Time, Hourly.
Well, I think a lot of us will want to say, well, let's put the full time people first. They run the company and I want to see them first here. If we did a reverse sort, ZA, that's not going to help either. We'd like to sort in a particular order. On another sheet, and you don't necessarily have to have the data be displayed here, I've got the actual statuses listed here in the order that I would like to have them appear. I'm thinking ahead too that I might need this in the future. So what I'm about to do is to take this data and make it be an entry in a custom list along with the days of the week and the months of the year that we've already seen.
So with this data highlighted and you don't really have to do it this way and you might be prepared to type this yourself. And if you're using Excel 2010, click the File tab in the ribbon and then choose Options. If you're using Excel 2007, click the Office button, and then click Excel Options, and in 2007 you'll see a choice right about here on the screen that indicates Custom Lists. 2010, we need to go to the Advanced tab and scroll way down to the bottom of this and you'll see this box, Edit Custom Lists.
Let's click it and here are those built-in lists that we saw earlier. Let's now add by importing the data that we've highlighted. If you didn't have those items on a worksheet like we have here, you would type them right here where it says List Entries. In other words, type Full Time, press Enter, Half-Time, and Enter and so on. Now we can just import them. Now, this list will stay here indefinitely. I'm going to click OK. If the next exit that I do from Excel is a normal one, we won't worry about it.
That list is around forever. What it means is when we want to sort data in a particular way, like here, we will use the Sort command. We do want to sort by Status, we want to sort by Values, but not that A to Z order. Click the drop-arrow, go to Custom List, and that latest entry in our Custom Lists, the one we put in, Full- Time, Half-Time, Hourly, Contract. That's the order I want. Click OK, click OK, and the full-time people come first.
So whenever necessary, you can override standard sorting order by creating a custom list or referring to one of the built-in custom lists in Excel.

Recipe by Mrs. Chef Esh
"I first had this Hot Crab and Jack Pretzel in Boston, and it was so yummy good. I just had to have it again back in PA! It is a warm cheesy crab topping on a large baked Philadelphia style soft pretzel. Serve with a sweet/hot mustard dipping sauce as the perfect compliment!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (3 ounce) package
cream cheese
1/2 cup
1 tablespoon
1/2 teaspoon
minced garlic
2 tablespoons
minced onion
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon
hot pepper sauce
1 (8 ounce) can
crabmeat, drained
white pepper to taste
soft pretzels
2 cups
shredded Colby-Jack cheese
I have been wanting to try this recipe for a while now, so today I went to my favorite pretzel shop with this recipe in mind...I can not believe I waited so long to try this...I was NOT disappointed! This was excellent! The only change I made was to use chive and onion cream cheese, as that was all that I had. YUM! YUM! YUM! A definate keeper! Thanks for sharing. :)
mmmmm! I was looking for a crab pretzel recipe & found this one. I used pretzels from the philly pretzel factory. Could only find 6 oz can of crabmeat so I used 2 6oz cans. Added some old bay. Baked them in the oven for 15 mins....they were a little hard, so next time I'll probably heat up the crab mixture in the oven first & then put it on top of the pretzels with the cheese & only do 5 mins in the oven.....other then that....fantastic!!!

My son saw the recent cover of "Baltimore" magazine, and started drooling over the crab pretzel pictured...hence my search through trusty Allrecipes for something similar. This was delicious exactly as is. Having said that, I am looking forward to varying this recipe as well (no horseradish, add Old Bay?) I may even try making homemade pretzels (I used frozen soft pretzels...) Thanks for the inspiration and for making my son smile!!
Excellent. I added bacon crumbles too.

There's no way Winokur could play "Hairspray's" zaftig Tracy Turnblad these days. The Tony-award winning actress has dropped 60 pounds this year. And she isn't the only star who changed in 2012.
Jessica Simpson has been pretty open about the difficulty she's had shedding the pounds since she gave birth in May. But she celebrates her 50-pound weight loss in a new Weight Watchers commercial while not yet responding to reports that she is once again expecting.
Oh wily Miley. We have watched you morph this year from a former Disney star to a harder-edged rocker type who performs with strippers. What would Hannah Montana say?
From thong to thin, McConaughey reportedly dropped 40 pounds for a movie role and the transformation was startling on the "Magic Mike" star.
The comedian reportedly underwent surgery to help her shed 80 pounds and give her a new look.
Deen announced in June 2012 that she lost 30 pounds over a six-month period after she was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. These days she is looking slimmer than ever.

Very cool...I love werewolves.
January 18th, 2006 #4
looking good, but i have a few minor crits:
as far as the positioning is concerned this one's a little problematic:
i'd prefer for the arm that is farthest away to be hanging down between the legs just a little. as is, the area just above the foreground leg is becoming a little confusing.
secondly, the right arm is a little off in the way that the upper arm comes down what's almost a right angle. it doesn't seem so accurate, imo.
great work, thanks for posting it. nice twisting pose by the way too!
January 18th, 2006 #5
Definitely a good pose and design. Are you going to colour this and give it a background?
The only suggestions i'd give...in my humble opinion...would be to enlarge his/her head a bit more to give it more aggression [purely subjective though]. Also the skull looks too contrived...it looks like the werewolf suffers from OCD and has made sure it puts it upright in a perfect position. I'd put the skull sideways and a bit hidden by the foot, like the animal had just stood on it. If the skull is too obscured by the foot then draw some more skulls and pile them all up under the wolf.
Anyway...great drawing, and hope this helps.

Rallus elegans prefers permanent fresh water marshes in the Midwest, although it uses brackish wetlands elsewhere. Grasses, sedges, rushes and cattails are important cover types. They are typically found in in rice fields in the southern United States and rarely along roadside ditches. Rallus elegans is also found in coastal regions that contain salt water marshes. (Darrah and Krementz, 2009; Poole, et al., 2005)

Physical Description
Rallus elegans is a large, slender, rust-colored marsh bird with a long bill and long toes. It is the largest North American rail. Rallus elegans features an olive-brown upper body, reddish-brown breast and black-and-white barred flanks. Its tail is short and often lifted up. Females and males are similar, females generally are smaller than males. Females, on average weigh 11 to 13 ounces while males, on average, weigh 12 ounces.
Rallus elegans chicks are downy and black in coloration. They can be confused for black rails (Laterallus jamaicensis), but R. elegans have dark (not red) eyes, a white bill and lack spotting on their backs. Juveniles are similar to adults, but markings are indistinguishable with variable amounts of black on their sides.
Virgina rails (Rallus limicola) occur in the same habitats, are gray-cheeked, smaller versions of R. elegans and lack the extensive barring on the sides of R. elegans. Clapper rails (Rallus longirostris) are also similar to R. elegans in appearance, but are smaller and have dull black-and-white stripes on the flanks. ("King Rail", 2001; "Rail", 2010; Darrah and Krementz, 2009; )

Currently, all evidence suggests Rallus elegans is a monogamous species. Male Rallus elegans utilize several courtship displays to attract a mate. Male courtship behaviors include strutting with tail held vertically, exposing the white under tail coverts, tail flicking or fanning, and a "pursuit display" where the male hunches over low to the ground and follows a female. In some populations, courtship feeding has been observed where a male presents a female with crayfish or crabs. Males also give courtship calls during any display except a pursuit display. Pairs uphold a monogamous relationship throughout the breeding season, but birds become solitary during the non-breeding periods. Pair fidelity from year to year is currently unknown. (Meanley, 1957; Poole, et al., 2005)
- Mating System
- monogamous
The nesting season of Rallus elegans begins in early March and lasts until early September with the peak of activity occurring between April 15 and July 1. Nests are a platform of vegetation with a depression in the center, a canopy of nearby vegetation, and occasionally a ramp. After copulation, the female lays one egg per day into the nest. This is done until a clutch of 6 to 14 eggs is reached. The incubation period lasts an average of 22 days. Each of the young are precocial, meaning they are capable of following the mother around shortly after birth. The young's first flight occurs approximately 63 days after birth. ("King Rail, Life History", 2011; Poole, et al., 2005)

Both parents exhibit parental care for the young, however the female generally is present more often than the male. Rallus elegans males are aggressive defenders of their territory and will chase out other Rallus elegans males, as well as males of other rail species. Males are also the primary participants in nest construction. Both parents take turns incubating the clutch. Once the young are born, both parents still care for the young, but the female is present more often. Hatchling R. elegans are precocial at hatching, and quickly leave the nest to follow their parents and learn how to care for themselves. The young are fed by both parents from 1 to 3 weeks of age. During this time, the young learn how to gather food from watching their parents and are capable of foraging on their own at 4 to 6 weeks old. Parents remain with their brood until they are at least 30 days old. ("King Rail", 2001; ; Poole, et al., 2005)

Rallus elegans typically lives 5 to 9 years in the wild. Limits to the lifespan of R. elegans include predation, farming practices, wetland destruction and impacts from vehicles. ("King Rail, Life History", 2011)
- Typical lifespan
Status: wild
- 5 to 9 years
- Typical lifespan
Rallus elegans is a secretive marsh bird, thus little is known regarding behavior. It is a largely migratory species although some southern populations remain in the same location year-round. Rallus elegans is nearly completely diurnal, but many nocturnal behaviors have been reported during the breeding season.
Little is known about social behaviors in Rallus elegans. Pairs form during the breeding season, and males are highly territorial at this time. Males actively chase out males of the same, or even different, species. Outside of the breeding season, it is largely thought to be solitary. Rallus elegans is also thought to be a solitary nocturnal migrant. This is largely due to its territorial nature. Flight for R. elegans is usually short and low to the ground, with their feet skimming the tops of vegetation. During the breeding season R. elegans is typically found in pairs and later found with their broods trailing in a line behind the male and female. ("King Rail", 2001; Darrah and Krementz, 2009; Poole, et al., 2005)
- Key Behaviors
- terricolous
- flies
- saltatorial
- diurnal
- motile
- migratory
- solitary
- territorial
Home Range
Exact territory size is currently unknown, but one study found a row of 3 nests located 298 ft and 166 ft from the next. (Meanley, 1957)
Communication and Perception
Rallus elegans is a very visual and acoustic communicator. This rail relies heavily on acoustic communication to communicate with mates and other rails. Rallus elegans gives a wide variety of calls although due to it's secretive nature and dense habitat, associated behaviors are poorly understood. Most vocalizations are dry, clicking sounds mnemonically described as 'kik-kik-kik' or a rolling 'chur-ur-ur'. Amount of vocalizations increases during the breeding season, suggesting there is an important vocal element to courtship. Rallus elegans uses postures and tail movements to communicate mating interest or aggression. When pursuing a mate, male R. elegans may crouch low to the ground, flare the tail feathers or hold the tail vertically. Males also crouch to ward off territory intruders and will eventually aerially attack a persistent threat. Like most bird species, R. elegans perceives it's environment through visual, auditory, tactile, and chemical stimuli. ("King Rail, Life History", 2011; ; Poole, et al., 2005)
Food Habits
Rallus elegans is considered an omnivore, but mainly feeds on crustaceans, fish and insects. Occasionally it will feed on plants or seeds. Water is very important to R. elegans, because even if its food has come from land it will dunk it in water before consuming it. The bill and legs of R. elegans are specialized for probing and foraging in water. Common prey items include crayfish, red-jointed fiddler crabs, clams, perch, and aquatic beetles. ("King Rail, Life History", 2011; Poole, et al., 2005)
- Primary Diet
- eats non-insect arthropods
- Animal Foods
- fish
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
- aquatic crustaceans
- Plant Foods
- leaves
- roots and tubers
- seeds, grains, and nuts
Rallus elegans is mostly preyed upon during the egg and juvenile stages of life. Predators of eggs and young include red fox, raccoons, mink, feral cats, and coyotes. Some adults are caught by predators such as great horned owls, northern harriers, and alligators. Rallus elegans coloration allows for it to be well camouflaged from predators. It also can puff up and flutter around in the brush to try and scare off potential predators. ("King Rail", 2001; "King Rail, Life History", 2011; Poole, et al., 2005)
- Anti-predator Adaptations
- cryptic
- Known Predators
- red fox (Vulpes vulpes)
- raccoons (Procyon lotor)
- mink (Neovison vison)
- feral cats (Felis catus)
- coyotes (Canis latrans)
- great horned owls (Bubo virginanus)
- northern harriers (Circus cyaneus)
- alligators (Alligator mississipiensis)
Ecosystem Roles
Rallus elegans serves as both predator and prey in marsh ecosystems. Due to its heavy reliance on crayfish, R. elegans likely has a significant effect on local populations. (Poole, et al., 2005)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Rallus elegans is considered a game bird in much of the southern United States from Texas to Delaware. Though few rails are harvested, bag limits in some states are up to 15 per day. (Darrah and Krementz, 2009; Poole, et al., 2005)
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known negative effects of Rallus elegans on humans.
There are no known negative effects of king rails on humans.
Conservation Status
Rallus elegans is a species of concern according to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. In many individual states, especially in the northern range such as the states of Michigan and Minnesota, R. elegans is listed as endangered. This is primarily due to human-induced habitat destruction, as wetlands are rapidly shrinking or disappearing across their range. (Poole, et al., 2005)

This unique, year-long volunteer opportunity brings together local professionals to coordinate United Way's annual workplace campaign, which raised over $2.2 million for community impact last fiscal year.
Loaned Executives will develop their professional and leadership skills by supporting the United Way workplace campaign, participating in the community investment committee as part of the funds distribution process and attending monthly leadership seminars. The program also offers an exceptional networking experience that helps ensure organizations "loaning" their employees are involved in the philanthropic activity of Escambia County's nonprofit community.
Jamie Bradley, a Gulf Power Company employee and 2013 LE, summarized her experience saying, "The Loaned Executive program had such a significant impact on both my personal and professional life. While helping make a difference in our community and serving those in need, I have learned a great deal about myself. I've made some amazing new friends, gained a greater appreciation for United Way, their mission, and this wonderful community I call home."
United Way is encouraging employers to consider nominating someone from their team for the program. Applications can be downloaded HERE. For more information, please call Laura Hill at 850.444.7143 or e-mail email@example.com.
Welcome to Campaign Headquarters! We are excited to partner with over 300 workplaces in Escambia County in uniting our community and leveraging resources to improve lives. We could not accomplish this mission without the incredible investment of time, energy and money through all of our workplace campaign partnerships. THANK YOU for all of the work you do in our community!
Help is here to lower the cost of medicine, thanks to a free drug discount card provided by the United Way.
"No one should be forced to choose between paying for food, rent or medicine because of the high cost of prescriptions," said Andrea Farage, President/CEO of United Way of Escambia County. "That's why we've partnered with FamilyWize to distribute free prescription discount cards to citizens in Escambia County. Locally, this program has helped individuals save more than $683,000 since United Way of Escambia County began participating in the FamilyWize program in 2007."
FamilyWize cards immediately lower the cost of medicine by an average of 35% or more for people without insurance or who take medications not covered by their plan. Just by presenting the FamilyWize card at their local pharmacy, customers save on the cost of their prescription medicine 80% of the time.
"People are struggling with the high cost of medicine and need help right now. The FamilyWize card provides immediate savings on prescription medicines, with no paperwork or forms to fill out," said Dan Barnes, Co-chair of The FamilyWize Community Service Partnership.
These cards can be used by everyone in the community, not just people without insurance. They can even be used by people with health benefits, including Medicaid or Medicare.
The FamilyWize card is easy to use:
· It's Free
· For immediate and unlimited use
· Accepted at 95% of pharmacies nationwide
· No age/income restrictions
· No enrollment or personal information needed
United Way of Escambia County proudly joins 1,000 United Ways in all 50 states who have already saved more than $225 million as of July 2011 on prescriptions in their communities and distributed more than 20 million cards nationwide." Farage said.
FamilyWize cards can be found locally at the United Way of Escambia County office located at 1301 W. Government St. in Pensacola. The card can be printed here or at www.FamilyWize.org, where you can also look up drug prices and obtain a list of participating pharmacies.

A Christian college in Minnesota has joined a coalition opposing an amendment to that state's constitution to ban gay marriage. Augsburg College, associated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, announced Tuesday that it had joined Minnesotans United for All Families, a coalition of organizations working to defeat the proposed amendment. (Minnesota state law does not allow gay marriage.) Minnesota state law allows organizations with nonprofit status, including colleges, to weigh in on ballot measures.
Augsburg is the second college to publicly oppose the amendment, although faculty members at other colleges have also spoken out against it. Capella University, a for-profit college, announced Aug. 3 that it opposed the amendment. "Capella is a stronger place because of our diversity, and we have made an intentional effort to create a workplace that is supportive of families of all backgrounds," the company's chairman and chief executive officer, Kevin Gilligan, said in a statement at the time. "Just as importantly, I am very concerned that this amendment will have a negative impact on the ability of Minnesota companies to attract and retain talented employees."

Yellow Van Shuttle Paris Airport
My husband and I are going to be going on a Rick Steve's Tour that starts in Paris. We have booked our flight to Paris to land a day early, (to allow time for unexpected travel issues.) Anyways, we booked a hotel that was recommended in the Paris Rick Steves book. The hotel offers a shuttle service that is 40 euros from the Airport to our hotel. The company is Yellow Van Shuttle, but a Parisshuttle.com is the operator. Has anyone done this before? Any advice would be wonderful!! We have never gone overseas! Thank You for your help

my first computer was a tandy 1000 computer with monitor, external floppy drive and dot matrix printer.
one time I accidentally formatted the master boot disc(which wasnt protected for some reason) and radio shack charged $60 for a replacement.
also I still think dot matrix printer are still great compared to printers today.
it had a ink roll. just rewind the roll and it was still good.
I like the paper feeders in dot matrix printer. just sit the box below the printer and feed the folded paper into the printer.
and I never had paper jams like I do with ink jets. I did get paper jams but not like the inkjets.

First computer was an Adam by Colecovision -> http://en.wikipedia....iki/Coleco_Adam
First "modern" computer was an AST Advantage - Pentium 90 with Windows 3.1
Posted 25 June 2014 - 06:20
A nice IBM 286 from 1989. First we had DOS, then Windows 3.0. Brings back memories of Mega Man for PC and Quest for Glory.
System and Keyboard looked exactly like this, but the monitor was a bit more state of the art (yellowing plastic chasis) and a high contras ratio which made some very deep/rich colors more so than what my friends and school computers had. I was really living it.

My first PC was in 1995...
Packard Bell...
-486 dx2 66mhz CPU
-4MB of RAM (eventually upgraded to 8MB to play DooM)
-4xxMB hard drive
-2400 baud modem (i still have this somewhere i think)
-Windows v3.11
p.s. so i was online/had a PC roughly 3-5 years before the internet/computers in general really went mainstream, which from my perception, seemed to be around 1998-2000 before it really took off. i was one of the first to get high speed internet (cable) in my area according to the guy who installed it and that was in the year 2000.
-my 2nd PC was i think Aug 1996. i know it was 1996 something though and was a Packard Bell.
-my 3rd PC i am pretty sure was in the year 2000. E-Machines PC. i still have this but it collects dust as it's just too old to run anything nowadays as i about the only time i rarely use is for softmoding XBox1's at which point i TSOP them so i won't ever need to use the PC again since you can make it boot from DVD's then.
-my 4th PC was April 2001. this is a Alienware PC. (this is my backup for very basic internet in case my primary PC goes down and i need to order parts. it's got Lubuntu running on it now since Windows XP is no longer supported.)
-my 5th PC was March 2006. this is custom built PC.
-my 6th PC (my current one) May 2012. custom build PC. although this is the same case as the 5th PC's as all i did was swap out the Mobo/CPU/RAM. but it's enough to claim it's another PC.
Posted 26 June 2014 - 05:28
The first thing i had in my room was an Acorn running RISC OS 2, followed by a few Windows 3.1 computers.
Then i got a Viglen Genie Executive running Windows 95 that the School IT Admin repaired, upgraded and gave to me. He was a great guy.
Back then computers seemed really exciting in themselves. They weren't necessarily connected to the internet, research was done with Encarta and occasionally an Essay was written in Word. Sounds silly but even the noise of older hard drives working away makes me nostalgic. Great times. I happened to buy an old compaq pc with a 486 cpu a couple of days ago for nostalgia purposes

Medal - 'Don't Ruin the World', Michael Meszaros, Victoria, Australia, 1974 Reg. No: NU 48472
- Summary:
- Bronze art medal titled 'Don't Ruin the World' by Melbourne sculptor Michael Meszaros, 1974. Meszaros submitted this design to a medal competition in France in 1974, a time when France was carrying out nuclear tests in French Polynesia. The medal was his protest against governments 'messing with the world', and it is significant that the globe is positioned to show Australia, which was far closer to the site of the tests than France was. He was not surprised when the medal did not win a prize, but was satisfied that he had 'bearded the lion in its den'.
- Description:
- Bronze medal depicting the planet Earth being crushed between two hands. The map of Australia is visible between the hands.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This is one of 44 art medals in the Museum's collection by Michael Meszaros, dated from 1960 through to 1987, which chart the evolution of a new phase of the medal tradition in Australia. While Australian medals have previously largely been commissioned works associated with official commemorations or major awards, these are personal artworks. In addition to their aesthetic value, they document nearly two decades of Australian life from a personal and popular point of view, drawing on cultural trends, sporting and leisure, and emerging issues such as environmentalism. This is a modern development in Australia, but it harks back to the European tradition, developed in the Renaissance, of medals as artistic works.
For over half a century, sculptors Andor (1900-1973) and Michael (1945- ) Meszaros have created medals that reflect the high points of life in Australia. From major awards and portraits of eminent Australians to artwork celebrating popular culture and the natural world, these objects illuminate our culture and history. Grounded in a centuries-old European art tradition, the medals create connections across disciplines and link such diverse subjects as scientific advances, religious themes, sport, the performing arts and motherhood. Through their public and private commissions and their personal artworks, the Meszaros sculptors have defined the modern Australian medal.
