Our state Legislature is over for this year, and while many say it was a failure, I feel it was a huge success. Many criticize our governor for his leadership, but I feel he has been one of the best governors our state has had in some time. Everyone want things for themselves, but our governor, Bobby Jindal, as far as I can see, did things that benefited all our citizens.
Finally, let me say that when any politician gets criticized, that means to me that he or she has done a wonderful job. Thus Gov. Jindal!

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties / Independent Cities.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

The Snake Fence - A Movie?
The school district in Sarasota, Florida, has "adopted" The Snake Fence, Janet Olshewky's novel for young adult readers set in Pennsylvania during the French and Indian Wars. Students turned the story into a play they performed, casting young actors without reference to race or gender! We are most delighted with the "trailer" created by seventh grader Rose Milner. For the two-and-a-half-minute version of this exciting story about the adventures and ethical challenges faced by a Quaker boy in 1755, watch this: http://animoto.com/play/Dg41SL4DfxkKLnwXkrwvoQ

Obviously, external storage is not something that applies to every Windows Phone 8 device. Although the API supports it, not all devices do. For testing purposes, I am using a Nokia Lumia 825 device, with a 16GB microSD card. It is filled with arbitrary content - some pictures, some text files, a couple of ebooks and videos.

In a widely expected move, Coke has finally caved to the pressure (put on it by more popular carbonated beverages on the market) and released the long-anticipated New Coke! Look for a rad New Coke commercial premiering tomorrow night during The Cosby Show.
How brilliant to change a cola formula that has been popular for the last 99 years. I really think this awesome new product is going to be a HUGE success, don't you?
o my god so freaken funny man lol happy april fools ladies
that is so funny!!!! I forgot it was april fools day
The summer I was 22 (LONG time ago) coke actually came out with the new coke. It was horrible stuff. At the end of the summer they announced coke classic, which was the same old coke, only with high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar. Brilliant move on their part because if they had just changed the formula people would have objected, but as it was everyone was so glad to get the classic back, most people didn't notice.
I think I did try new coke. I didn't drink a lot of soda in the 80s but I gave it a try. Which makes me one of about 20 people on earth who did try it!
(I thought your question was to give us older people something to reminisce about)
I figured this was a prank. but I did try the "new" coke back in the day. it was horrible. I nearly switched to another brand when they brought back the original formula.
Scoutmama, you are soooo right.
OH LORD! You scared me to death!
Oh my gosh I remember this. Horrible stuff! I was so glad they came back with Coke classic. Too funny CafeMom, you really made my April Fools Day!
