Sunday Pictures
I have been collecting pictures to use in these posts for a while. Some never get posted but should.Thus, I have been toying with the idea of an occasional picture thread. Today I decided to do a short test picture thread.
Sunday Funday – Wha' Happened To August?
August. A quiet time before school starts. Usually filled with vacations and last minute fun before it is back to the books and studying.
Time for some last minute time at the pool or down at the the old fishing pond. August, a lazy, hazy quiet time — wait – what? The world seems to be exploding! Somebody spike the water with something really nasty? Settle down, people! It is August.
Well, at least John Boehner has it right. No work for congress in August and little more all year. That way you can't blame Boehner, he has done nothing. Not one damn thing.
Can you keep up with it all?
1) Which Republican presidential candidate missed the Family Leader hate fest in Ames last week thus raising the ire of Bob Vander Plaats?
2) The police chief of Ferguson, Missouri said victim Michael Brown may have done what before he was gunned down by police?
3) Well-known star Robin Williams died early this week. What show did Williams make his TV debut on?
4) Lauren Bacall, another major Hollywood star from an earlier era also died last week. Bacall once said she was the dreaded 'L' word. What did she mean?
5) Bacall was half of a famous Hollywood marriage. Who was her long time husband?
6) The mayor of what Iowa city has been charged with 5 counts of sexual abuse of a minor?
7) Haider al-Ibadi is a name we will be hearing in the news a lot in coming months. Who is Haider al-Ibadi?
8) Iowa gubernatorial candidates debated Thursday on IPTV with what venue as the background?
9) A woman was charged with second-degree theft in Waterloo when she left a Hy-Vee with what item?
10) In Britain, medical trials are beginning on an injection of a gene into what part of the body to spur protein production that will allow this part to recover.
11) Pope Francis is visiting South Korea. North Korea says that they did not do what in response to the Pope's visit to the South?
12) Ninety-four years ago Monday, what large group was granted the right to vote?
13) Aloha! Fifty-five years ago on August 21st, what President signed a proclamation bring Hawaii into the union?
14) President Obama accepted a hug from what recent critic of his at a private party Wednesday night?
15) The dumbest man in politics Thursday claimed that "undocumented Democrats" were bringing Ebola into the US from Central America. Can you identify this dumbest man in politics?
There was so much more that happened last week that it may take me a week to recover. May be time for a movie or something. I hear "Boyhood" is quite the movie.
Here are the answers:
1) Rand Paul.
2) stolen cigars from a convenience store. Paid quite a price if he did.
3) revival of Laugh-in in 1977
4) she was a Liberal!
5) Humphrey Bogart
6) Oelwein
7) the new prime minister of Iraq
8) The state fair
9) one of their motorized shopping carts. She claimed an employee said she could take it home as she had no ride.
10) into the heart.
11) Shoot three missiles from their coast just before the Pope's arrival.
12) Women! August 18th, 1920
13) Eisenhower
14) Hillary Clinton
15) no, it is not Steve King. There is one even dumber, Louie Gohmert
Sounds like just in time for school to start, it will get plenty warm. Of course it will.
Hemp Fibers 'Better Than Graphene'
I read this article concerning a new potentially breakthrough use for hemp with interest Wednesday. When I read this I hearkened back to an article I had read on a building material called hempcrete. This is a light weight material that has some very desirable properties that many builders would love to offer clients. Our daughter and son-in-law have been talking about building their own house so we frequently talk about what kinds of amenities they would like in that house.
You may notice a common thread (no pun intended) in the two materials is hemp. Like many others, I have to wonder how much longer the United States can continue to deny its citizens access to one of the most versatile plants on the earth. Unfounded fear drives some insane policies concerning hemp. Fears that grew out of myths and propaganda from the 1860s to the 1930s when the infamous Harry Anslinger used the 'devil weed' to cement his job in the Narcotics Bureau.
So for a couple of generations we have missed out on opportunities to develop so many uses for this plant. From clothing to building materials to construction to medicines, the hemp plant could be a major boost to our economy. Hemp could also be a major aid as a cash crop on Iowa farms that are currently so tied in to the monocultures of corn and beans.
Just like several legislatures throughout the country, including Iowa, did last year when hemp oil was irrefutably shown to be a elixir for epilepsy, America needs to grow up and accept that hemp is not the evil weed it is portrayed as. It is a plant that could bring in major revenue and be a large economic boost.
Take a look here to see just a short list of uses for hemp. Industrialist Henry Ford saw hemp as a great material for building his cars. Hemp also has great properties for regenerating soil that has been worn out and grows in areas usually unsuited for other plants. This would be especially good in Iowa.
In case you haven't noticed, the attempted prohibition has failed. It is way past time America takes advantage of what hemp has to offer.
But wait, hemp does have some powerful enemies who buy a lot of influence. What is odd is that the list of interests lined up against hemp seem only to be concerned about possibly losing some business and nothing to do with any of hemp's perceived problems. Here is a short list of those working hard to keep hemp bottled up:
1) Police unions
2) Privatized Prison Companies
3) Alcohol and Beer companies
4) Pharmaceutical companies
5) Prison unions.
Read the article for the whys of the opposition. I think it is fairly clear. Each of these groups has a major financial interest in keeping hemp illegal, especially marijuana.
I would love it if my kids could build a house out of an extra strong, lightweight, water-proof, well insulated and breathable material. A guy can dream can't he?
Governor Hosts Hate Fest In Ames At 9AM Today
Our illustrious governor, in his new found quest to turn Iowa into a right wing haven, today acts as the host for the gathering of a group that has been labeled as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Today up in Ames, the Family Research Council (FRC) will be holding a day long hate fest with the target – and I do believe that target is a very appropriate word here – being those in the LGBT community. Today Terry Branstad welcomes into our state the likes of the Benham Brothers who lost a chance at a network cable show over their vociferous gay hatred, and lesser lights such as Ken Cucinelli, former Virginia attorney General, Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal and Rick Perry. This is only a partial line up.
Iowans should care deeply what their governor is doing in their name and on our payroll. Acting as host for a hate group goes beyond the pale in my opinion. Would he act as host for the Ku Klux Klan? Would he act as a host for the White Citizen's Council? I would certainly hope not. Why then play host for a group that is in the same league, but does have the cover of religion to give this hate fest a patina of legitimacy? This so reminds me of the old Southern governors who proudly joined the Klan during the civil rights days. The FRC is hell bent on taking rights away from a specific class of citizens. Does that sound familiar? Are LGBT not citizens just like non-whites? Why then does Branstad endorse their cause?
Just last month Branstad cozied up to Bob Vander Plaats' group, the Family Leader, by first endorsing and then participating in Vander Plaats' phonied up "Day of Prayer and Fasting." In case you are wondering, the Family Leader is a subsidiary of the Family Research Council and as such is also a hate group. Thus our governor has twice given this hate group cover. Can we deduct a little from his pay? Can we take away his double dip on his retirement?
As if endorsement of a hate group isn't bad enough, Branstad seems to take real pride in mixing government with politics. One would think that a person whose job is to run an organization would at least have a vague idea what the very basic beliefs of that organization were. In the case of Branstad he heads up a governmental organization. As such that organization has as one of its basic tenets the separation of church and state. Thus he is violating the very underpinnings of his organization. Were he the CEO of say Kelloggs and hosted a meeting for General Mills, I would like to think his ass would be out the door in a minute.
Maybe to make amends, he should host a meeting of Muslims in Iowa, and perhaps a meeting of Atheists. I see the Atheists just had a meeting last month. Where was the coveted Branstad endorsement for that?
Why, then, would Branstad host a group that is labeled a hate group and at the same time violate standards of the organization he heads? One can only guess and that is exactly what I will do.
- First, despite spending big bucks to bury Jack Hatch early, Branstad is still having problems with his re-election. His scandals, his lack of leadership and his cozying up to the very right wing of his party has not gone unnoticed by Iowans. Thus Branstad is having to once more come begging on his knees to the extremist wing of his party for their votes. Branstad has never been trusted by those folks and now he must supplicate himself.
- Second, I think Branstad wants to curry favor with potential Republican presidential hopefuls, thus they may remember him when they become president, maybe rewarding him with a nice cabinet job. And he could leave Iowa in the hands of his Lieutenant Governor, the awful Kim Reynolds.
Iowans need to reject this endorsement of a hate group and the mixing of church and state. Of course the best way to show your disapproval is at the polls this November. And bring a friend!
Newton Daily News Editor Fired For "Being Christian"
Ran across this story Thursday. A portion is reprinted here. The whole story plus other links are at the link.This story has a lot of twists and looks to me like one that may well wend its way to the Supreme Court. With the makeup of the current Court, that is a real concern.
An Iowa newspaper editor who was fired after posting an anti-LGBT blog post is irate over the firing and claims that his religious freedom was violated.
Media critic Jim Romenesko reported on his blog Wednesday that Bob Eschliman, former editor of Newton Daily News, filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claiming that he was fired for being a Christian.
Eschliman — who refers to himself on his Facebook page as an "Evil Conservative" — is being represented by an attorney from the Liberty Institute, a Christian law practice dedicated to injecting faith into public policy and to fighting efforts by the courts to separate matters of church and state.
The former editor was fired in May after publishing an anti-LGBT rant on his personal blog, in which he railed against "the LGBTQXYZ crowd and the Gaystapo," claiming that LGBT people of faith are attempting to rewrite the Bible to "to make their sinful nature 'right with God.'"
Eschliman expressed an opinion publicly although not while he was working. Can he not express his personal opinions, especially religious ones, publicly without fearing loss of job and benefits? On the other hand, people in management positions can be fired without cause. Does the owner of the business not have the right(?) to pick employees at the highest levels.
Just a few weeks ago the SCOTUS told us that corporations had a right to impose their religious beliefs as part of the employment contract. Does it not also have a right to remove employees whose religious beliefs come in conflict with business practices? The guarantee of religious freedom is that the government will not interfere with a person's freedom or create a state religion. It says nothing about private businesses. During my working days our company decided we would be a 7 day a week, 24 hour a day operation. When one man objected saying Sunday was a sacred day for him, the boss told him "Well., I guess you have a decision to make then."
One issue that must loom large in the background is the effect of Mr. Eschliman's now known religious conservatism may have on the business. Were I a subscriber, I would most likely drop the paper because I would think that the editor would be putting his slant into news stories. Beyond that there may be an effect on advertiser orders. Advertisers simply quit advertising in that paper fearing that they may be considered guilty by association for supporting this paper with its business.
Once upon a time in America (settle back, it's story time) printing presses were in great supply. If a person had an opinion, they could buy a printing press and publish and distribute it. Nowadays our comparable technology would be the internet. As of today the internet remains open and neutral. If Mr. Eschliman has an opinion that he feels he must share with others, he can pay a small fee and grab a chunk of internet real estate to sound off.
If net neutrality is squashed by the FCC (and that is what I expect) then outlets for dissenting voices may well be choked by "the market."
While I may disagree with Mr. Eschliman's views – and I certainly do – to me it is much more important that he and any others who feel they need to express themselves in public have an outlet on the internet.
Sunday Funday – Rummage In The Ramp Time.
One of my favorite events of the year is on once more. The giant garage sale known as "Rummage in the Ramp" started Friday and continues until next Sunday, August 3rd. If you are unfamiliar with this event, it is something unique to Iowa City. Apartment leases in Iowa City go from August one year through July of the next year. As students and others move out, they often leave behind some pretty decent furniture.
A few years back someone had the brilliant idea to sell the stuff rather than bury it in a landfill. Over the years the City has expanded to taking donations of usable items from anyone. And thus you have the makings of a giant garage sale. New stuff is added daily, so if you have an item in mind you may want to chck back daily. Under the Chauncey Swan parking ramp by the City rec center. More info here:
Were you paying attention?
1) They can't do anything, but Texas Governor Rick Perry is sending who to the border?
2) A Florida jury last week leveled tobacco company RJ Reynolds with a judgment worth how much in damages for a tobacco related death?
3) Deaths last week included this usually unflappable hero of TV series and movies. Who was this solid lifelong liberal, best known as Maverick?
4) The FDA issued a warning that the powdered form of what common substance – even a teaspoon – could be fatal following the death of an Ohio teenager?
5) Two big annual events in Iowa had their culmination yesterday, one in Davenport and one in Guttenburg. What are these two events?
6) In the crazy middle East, Israel shelled what thought to be safe building, killing 4 and wounding 16?
7) This June joined May as a record setter for what?
8) Once more acting because Republicans in Congress refuse to do their jobs, President Obama signed an executive order banning discrimination by federal contractors against what group?
9) Jack Hatch blasted Governor Brandstad last week for turning down what?
10) According to LULAC spokesman Joe Henry, how many Central American refugee kids have come to Iowa (+-25)?
11) In northeast China the largest microraptor dinosaur fossil, Changyuraptor, was found. It had what unusual feature?
12) Tuesday two federal courts issued conflicting rulings about an hour apart on the legality of what?
13) The Johnson County, Iowa Board of Supervisors passed resolution Thursday to encourage the testing of what concept car in Johnson County?
14) History you never hear in school department. In 1919, the worst of the "Red Summer" race riots begins in what midwest city on July 27, 1919?
15) Republicans came unglued when the FAA banned American airline companies from landing in what airport due to danger from war?
And these are just a few of the happenings this week. Sixty-one years ago, the Korean War ended, but just 11 years later President Johnson sent 5,000 more "advisors" into Viet Nam signalling the involvement buildup yet to come. Oy Vey!
1) National Guard troops.
2) $23.6 billion
3) James Garner
4) caffeine
5) In Davenport, the annual Bix Biederbeck celebration. In Guttenburg RAGBRAI ended.
6) a hospital
7) global temperature.
The average temperature over global surfaces for June 2014 was 1.3 degrees above the 20th-century average of 59.9 degrees. In May, the Earth's temperature was 1.33 degrees above the average of 58.6 degrees.
9) $1 million grant to study solar applications in Iowa
10) 139 (114 – 154 range)
11) Four wings (and feathers)
12) ACA exchanges
13) driverless cars
14) Chicago – much of our labor and race history is seldom taught
15) Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.
August next week which means (here it comes) back to school time!
Hodge-Podge: Branstad For Bishop!
I understand Terry Branstad is a Roman Catholic. I never knew this because I never cared before. As one who truly believes that the separation of Church and State must as wide as a galaxy it really irked me to see him leading the phony-baloney "day of prayer" last Monday. Terry, if you want to be bishop go for it. I think you would make a lousy one after cutting food aid for the poor 2 years in a row and doing all you could to stop Medicaid in Iowa before making the poor pay for it. You may be religious, but you sure as hell are not moral.
Sending The Refugees Home
Would be like telling fire fighters to take the people they just rescued back into the burning house. Really, Branstad? Really Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman? You both claim to be Christian, yet in a true test of your Christianity you turn your backs on those in need.
I do believe in the separation of Church and State. This is not a religious question, it is a question of morality. Here are two governors who proudly fail that test and want your vote. Morality and government should not be separated.
How To Pay For The Lawsuit Against Obama
The whole concept of the House suing President Obama is so ludicrous it is beyond laughter. Boehner and his sycophants think they have outsmarted both Dems and the far right with this one. But one thing Tea Baggers insist on is that the cost be offset. I have a humble suggestion and shall send it to Mr. Boehner.
Mr. Boehner, I recommend that this epitome of frivolous lawsuits be paid for by taking the salary, travel costs, staff salaries and any other perks from any member voting for this suit. If they truly believe this is a legitimate and necessary suit, they will gladly give up a few years of pay and perks. You may also need to ask them for donations. I see no reason why I or any other taxpayer should pay so much as a nickel for this tomfoolery!
Science On The March
Holy Moley is science ever marching forward at breakneck speed. Couple of really interesting developments these past couple of weeks. Too bad the Tea Party hates science, because they are truly missing some fantastic advances. When they come back to earth they will have a lot of catching up to do. Here are a couple that really caught my eye:
1) Researchers may have found a way to stop type 2 diabetes. Very preliminary, but very promising.
2) Future farming in a high-rise? Taking place now in Japan. Takes up less surface space while making it much easier to recycle, control pollution and farm darn near anywhere. My son-in-law and I have been talking of this for years.
Christie Running!
At least as well as he can run for president while carrying around tons of corruption. Hobbled by many major corruption stories in his administration in New Jersey, Chris Christie has time to take a trip to Iowa and New Hampshire. At least in Iowa he will be able to compare corruption notes with another scandal plagued governor, our own Terry Branstad.
Putin, Plane Shot Down and Republicans
When My wife and I heard of the tragedy in the Ukraine with the speculation that Vladimir Putin may be responsible either directly or indirectly we could not help but remember that only a few weeks ago Republicans from the US Senate to the Us House down to the state house were expressing such admiration for Putin. They used Putin as an example of a "man of action" and someone who gets things done. Wonder how they feel about their hero now. My teachers used to tell to be careful when you pick heroes. Most are not anything like what they appear to be.
I also recall how our last President Bush implied he was a good guy:
"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul."
Raise your hand if you are really glad Obama is President and not Bush or any other war hungry Republican.
Branstad Admin Nixes Solar Power Grant
Like a good corporate Tea Party governor the Branstad administration rejected a $1 million grant based on corporate lobbyists objections.
They wanted changes to the grant that the energy office were unwilling to make, since they were making them for no one else and they would gut the purpose of the project.
Terry, you can't stop progress forever. If Iowa's voters have a lick of sense it will only be for another few months. Jack Hatch will move Iowa forward!
Keep it up and Iowa Republicans will be irrelephant:
Sunday Funday: County Fair Edition
Come one, come all to the great Muscatine County Fair in historic West Liberty, Iowa. We have exhibits of plants and foods; we have show animals of all varieties and we have a midway with thrilling rides and scrumptious one of a kind fair food – including elephant ears and half-pound tenderloins and delicious fried onions! Mmmmm, Mmmmmm, once a year that is some fine eating.
See your friends, see your neighbors. Enjoy a show in the grove while you eat a delicacy. Stay for the races and cheer on the local favorites! See YOU at the fair.
Got to wonder how much longer the whole Fair circuit will survive. I am sure it is one tradition that will not go away easily. Many, many kids remember the fair with love all their lives – the rides, the animals, the friends. But most fairs are just scraping by these days. We wish them another hundred years of success.
I got some questions for you
1) The two big stories of the week happened within the same hour on Thursday. One was the downing of the plane in Ukraine. What was the other?
2) The Branstad administration nixed a million dollar deal from the feds this week which would have studied what in Iowa?
3) Surprisingly, an overwhelming number (74%) of Republicans who have this like it very much. What is it?
4) Steve King is seeking to end this wage scale on projects paid for with federal funds. What is this wage scale called?
5) A proposed pipeline that would cut across Iowa would move oil from where?
6) Reaching back to a historic events, 25 years ago yesterday was a tragic day in Sioux City. What happened?
7) Another week, another judge declares laws against marriage equality invalid. What state joined the ranks of equality this week?
8) Netroots Nation met in Detroit this week. Along with all its other troubles, Detroit is now cutting what utility from households in arrears in payments?
9) 73 in real years, but still looking all of 17, what character died taking a bullet aimed at his gay friend?
10) You would think after this long this guy could run on his record. Who spent $1M on his re-election in 7 weeks?
11) After becoming a right wing whipping dog, what soldier is out of therapy and assigned to a low pressure desk job?
12) In Arizona, a Congressional candidate staged a big show of stopping a bus of immigrant kids only to be informed the bus was actually what?
13) In California, a measure to split the state up has enough signatures for the 2016 ballot. This measure will split California into how many states?
14) What major tech company announced it would be laying off 18,000 over the next year?
15) If you lived in Los Angeles and wanted to wash your car, how much might it cost you?
Where were you 45 years ago when Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon? I was working at a gas station on the interstate. I had a small B&W TV that barely got a picture. Customers came and went, most stopping for a few moments to watch events unfold. It was a magic day.
1) The invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israel
2) Solar Energy
3) Obamacare or the ACA. Please keep fighting it, Republicans.
4) the prevailing wage scale
5) North Dakota (the Bakken Field)
6) United Airline Flight 232 crash landed after losing all flight controls
7) Florida
8) Water. Citizens of Detroit have appealed to the UN.
9) Archie Andrews. Killed off after a long run
10) Branstad. And no, he can't run on his record
11) Bowe Bergdahl
12) a group of YMCA kids going to camp. He said they looked really scared
13) 6
14) Microsoft
15) $500 for frivolous use of water.
RAGBRAI??? Never heard of it!
Immigrants In Iowa – From IPP
Once more, the folks over at Iowa Policy Project take an hot button issue, take the emotion out of it and give us a sober fact based report. I certainly wish some of our politicians would take a cue from IPP in their actions. This month they look at the effect of immigrants in Iowa.
As an aside, in today's parlance "immigrant' has seemed to become synonomus with "Latino." IPP in no way designates a specific group of immigrants in their report. This is some interesting reading for the Fourth of July weekend in a land built on immigration.
Immigrants in Iowa
What New Iowans Contribute to the State Economy
Immigrants are important to Iowa and its economy:
- generating income as workers, spending money as consumers, and contributing to state and federal revenues as taxpayers;
- starting businesses that contribute to local economic development and job creation; and
- contributing to the vitality and culture of Iowa communities.
In fact, immigrants make up about 4.3 percent of the Iowa population, account for 4.5 percent of the state's economic output and represent 1 in 20 Iowa workers.
These contributions would increase further if immigration reform were to make work authorization or a path to citizenship possible for the subset of Iowa immigrants who currently lack such documents. That subset — undocumented immigrants — pays an estimated $64 million in state and local taxes, and another $37 million in federal payroll taxes.
In a new report for the Iowa Policy Project, researchers Heather Gibney and Peter Fisher explore the facts that should be part of an accurate understanding of Iowa's immigrant population and its relationship to the state's economy. Read our new report — or the two-page executive summary here.
Did you know? The Congressional Budget Office estimates that over half of undocumented workers have federal and state income taxes withheld from paychecks, along with payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare. Yet they are unable to access benefits that they are helping to fund. Learn more in our new paper.

Poetry makes us children again.
Recommended Listening: Charles Simic reads five new poems for The Southern Review's summer podcast.
Scholars estimate that since T. S. Eliot's death in 1965, "roughly 90 percent of his prose has been out of print and unavailable to literary scholars." A new collection will change that.
Novels have hurt me. Stories have punctured my skeptical skin. Essays have made me rethink the world. But a melancholic poem shatters me.
A well-placed poem can remind us that our existences are, cosmically, equally as brief as these 15 lines.
'Spring and Fall,' written by Gerard Manley Hopkins in September, 1880, and collected in his Poems and Prose, is the saddest poem ever written.

Whats 5 Second day you ask? Thats when Titmouse gives us rank and file artists the day off and let us flex our creative muscles on our own short! The only rule is that they have to be at least 5 seconds long. I went a little overboard this year and made two shorts!
Hope you guys like it, it's the first thing I've uploaded to Newgrounds in about 4 years...
great animation, nice art style and voice acting,the last newspaper was hilarious.great job
this is incredibly well made, but i feel like it's a more concise and slightly less sharp version of Harry Partridge's 'Dr. Bees'. Not accusing you of ripping him off, just saying that this short sort of got overshadowed when a version exists with the same joke but (in my opinion) a more fresh execution. Other than that it's fantastic.
Didn't see that ending coming. Poor Mr. Whiskers... XD
Also, random rant, has anyone ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree? Proof that they don't get "stuck". :D
I laughed so F*cking hard. This made my day.
But poor mister whiskers :(
laughing so hard at this thought I was going to choke..
well done..

Hawker can be easily moved from one computer to another using the provided carrying case. Hawker is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh environments without any software installations.
The Hawker external hard drives deliver extraordinary performance, rapid file transfer speeds (up to 5,000 Mbits/s), and proven reliability for both Mac and PC users. And because it provides 1TB in single hard drive, this device is one of the most versatile portable external drives available.
The Hawker LX is made with aircraft-grade aluminum, making this enclosure both ruggedized and durable. An exclusive shock-absorbing mechanism (patent pending) is built into the enclosure. Its function is to keep the hard drive suspended within the casing while dissipating the heat produced by the hard drive. The Hawker is designed this way to allow peak performance while operating at an optimal temperature.
The bus-power feature offers the user added convenience by eliminating the need to carry nonstandard and sometimes hefty adaptors and cables that are normally required to power typical hard drives.
One of the most secure and cutting-edge hardware-based encryption chipsets is integrated into the internal circuitry of the Hawker lines. The cryptographic encryption module contains features such as Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm AES-256 bit key strength, and real-time encryption so that there is virtually zero time in encrypting and decrypting the data. While in either CBC or ECB modes, the encryption chipset bears certifications from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and FIPS Level 2 for a Cryptographic Module. The Hawker is authenticated by a digital key token, which is inserted for authentication, and removed soon after the device is authenticated, and then ready for secure data transfer.

2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Vs Ram 2500 Vs Ford F-250 Diesel Towing Test Matchup
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
MrNicholg: #11 on the TFL worst reviews list.
oakleyfan98: Who won?? I tried skipping through the video, and I couldnt find who won?
SB N: Wow, I am shocked of the fact that the Government Motor team felt the need to come out and rig up its own Ike Gauntlet run with all these excuses of not able to get the right rear ratio on the Ford and Ram, thinking that they can cheat the test to show off the brand new redesigned 2015 Silverado HD. However, the sad fact is, the new 2015 only gets a face lift, and that is it, nothing more! The new 2015 Superduty will get a more powerful engine and an upgraded transmission. On the other hand, the GM team knows better to abuse the fact that the RAM gets its best engine + transmission in the 3500 and up, not in the 2500, like the Silverado or the Superduty. Also, notice how GM use a small in size tie down trailer, instead of a big bulky one because they didn't want the Superduty to show off its built in trailer sway control. Cheap move! Want to see some fun test between the big 3, search on youtube "Top Gear - The King of Trucks " and "Pickup Truck Drag Race - Top Gear USA".
DEVEL DOG: Ford wins , TFLtruck is clearly bias .
vettet1: boy that chevy guy wasnt happy when you said 25 seconds lol and ford is the best out there
joshua orzako: Completely off topic but did anyone here know how rare a v6 gmc sierra or silver 4x4 z71 off road truck is? Their all v8 and i want a fuel effiecent truck
tanner anderson: 4:20 we're so smart we cant figure out if the cummins has 800 or 850 horse? ahahah damn didnt know dodge made 10 second factory trucks wow
Daniel Heller: It's odd how they're pulling the same load with a diesel and a gas V6. lol
7.3 powerstroke!: Chevy wont be able to keep up with horsepower they will have to make a new engine ford has made tons of different engines in the past.
ARGaming: Cummins Wins! Cummins: Advertised Horsepower 280-425 hp Peak Torque 850 lb-ft http://cumminsengines.com/showcase-item.aspx?id=102&title=ISM+for+Heavy-Duty+Truck+(EPA+07)#specifications Powerstroke: 390 HP 735 lb-ft http://www.powerstrokediesel.com/index/401 Duramax: HP 250 765 lb-ft http://www.chevrolet.com/silverado-3500hd-diesel-trucks.html The numbers don't lie! :)
matthebest018: lol all the ford guys can finaly sleep at night knowing that a bad review video that proved nothing showed something odd with the chevy. BTW Ford people in every HD to HD test GM always outperformed.
Spencer Moulds: Everything is Chevy Chevy Chevy. Biased video can't believe that Chevy paid them to do this Wow ultimate low!! Sad Chevy. Sad
TheCreativeNuisance: Thanks for the complete waste of time.
Jason Joseph: This might as well had been a Chevy commercial!!!!
David Garden: Of course the GM truck had the dedicated for towing diff ratio while the Ford and RAM trucks they supplied had the Normal Duty ratios.....
Chris Reese: Sounds kinda fishy to me. Chevvy could only get those trucks.... don't buy it.
Flowmaster40Series: Your videos are stupid, and a waste of time.
santiagomel00: So chevy "couldn't" get the rest of the trucks in 3.73?? How about you give them one with a 3.08 chevy!
Mike Hartrumph: WASTE OF TIME DO NOT WATCH
bliglum: These idiots again.. DAMNIT!! Is there any way to prevent a channel (the fast lane) from showing up in recommended videos?!?
M.Chayer: I really like what you guys do uselly but this time really sucks, I mean chevy ''try'' to get the best truck but failed to... And you couldn't even drive the others truck , and it was probebly not even the 2015 F-250 so I don't see the matter of doing this really , Ford , chevy and Ram should have sent you their best truck , that way you could see witch one is better for towing.
Wisconsin Wildman: Chevy guys are like, yes finally a fair review!!!lol
brennan visniar: youll notice the ford and dodge are both 2013's lol
mysteryboyee: So chevy set up all the trucks, yeah, thanks for telling me that these tests are invalid
Smokeasammie: Malfunctions my a$$. Chevy couldn't hack it in their own sponsored event so they pussed out like lil bitches.
TheFossmaster: Dodge really needs a new design for the Ram.
BlakesCars2: Of course GM will win when they supply the trucks it's versing..
hendo337: This test is a load of crap. The 2015 F250/F350 6.7 has been improved to 440hp 860tq and has an improved engine brake. these results are bogus because they used the old truck.
submitcyber: The chevy guys face when he saw 25 seconds. But then the solo dl lost its cred.
farmerallis: FLT, this is an epic fail. Get it together.
bobby thoms: Anyone notice that everything broke at the same time before the other trucks were tested? I don't think it was a coincidence
Count Crotchula: Payson. What a beautiful town.
Rik Criswell: Nothing was accomplished with this video.................
tpcrb: FLT must be going our of business because their heart isn't in their tests any more.
Gordon Medley: 10 minutes wasted watching a video #fail IDIOTS
Red Blueo: Yes the duramax puts out less numbers but at least chevy never used a piece of crap engine like 6.0 and well cummins is the best
Bill Dingo: TFL Truck, when will there be a review and walk-around of the new chevy?
7247tank7247: The weight on the trailer looks like it's bolted down
Jim Garrison: The host is a numbskull. If he truely thinks the three of them weigh 1100lbs. combined then that would mean the three guys would weigh roughly 366lbs. a piece. The three of them probably weigh closer to 600 pounds combined, not 1100!
daaanger000: Seriously. ....waste of time
David Simula: poorly made video
filmcostar: TFLT goofed up on purpose
Louie Lamoore: Yes they are using the 2014' F-250. The 2015' model is much improved. So the test is not fairly balanced.
S Young: Better luck next time guys : D
Chris Hernandez: Unsubb
Robert Arauza: holy crap
von volts: those dudes are chevy lovers, that's why they talk crap about ford and dodge, what a piece of crap, i didn't even watch the whole video, they're so bias.
arfbarg: Pointless
Yep: Why even post this video entitled "Chevy vs Ford vs dodge" if no conclusion was made. Just looking to up the view count to draw in more advertisers. Dirty trick bastards!

One man was sent to the hospital after a Story home fire.
All ten volunteer firefighters in Story were called onto the scene at 97 Fish Hatchery Road at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. Story Volunteer Fire Chief Mike Onstott says the fire likely originated on a mattress, meaning the cause was possibly from smoking in the bedroom.
Onstott says nearly half the house was covered in flames when fire crews arrived. Firefighters were on the scene for more than four hours. The house is considered a total loss. No neighboring buildings suffered damage.
Onstott says a young man was able to get out of the building after the fire started. He was given oxygen on the scene before being taken to a hospital, and has since been released.
A Sheridan Fire-Rescue crew also was called in to help with the effort.

Spiced mixed nuts
Updated On: Dec 10 2013 09:22:36 AM CST
These tasty nuts are a holiday tradition that makes a party treat, a welcome gift and, for the busy cook, a sweet reward.
½ c. sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
¼ tsp. allspice
¼ tsp. ground ginger
1 egg white
2 tbsp. cold water
1 c. (4 ounces) whole walnuts
½ c. (2 ounces) unblanched almonds
½ c. (3 ounces) hazelnuts
½ c. (2 ounces) whole pecans
Preheat the oven to 275° F. Line a jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable-oil cooking spray.
Combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger powder in a medium bowl. Lightly beat the egg white until foamy in a small bowl and stir in the water; stir into the sugar mixture. Add the nuts and stir until evenly coated.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the nuts from the mixture, letting the excess sugar mixture drain off. Spread the nuts on the prepared pan. Bake, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes, or until lightly browned and dry. Let cool.
When cool, break the nuts apart, if necessary.
Advance Preparation
The nuts will keep for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

11 ways to solve rape better than nail polish
The more we depend on women to prevent rape, the easier it is to blame them when it happens to them. Here's a look at the well-documented ways we can actually stop rape. Maybe it's time we invest a little more time and resources into implementing them before we send gallons of nail polish to colleges across the country.

i've seen a lot of people reblogging news from ferguson, wondering if the situation has changed at all. the answer is YES—massively! so i thought i would compile some updates, courtesy of alderman antonio french (who, less than 24 hours ago, was being [wrongfully] held in jail for alleged unlawful assembly). the time right now is 4:20AM CST, august 15th.
yesterday afternoon—thursday, august 14th—ferguson & stl police were taken out of control of ferguson and replaced with MO highway patrol, led by captain ron johnson, who grew up in the area. his first order of business was to order police to remove their masks and cease violent tactics.
orange cones replaced tanks, the police line vanished, not a drop of tear gas was in sight and families felt safe enough to have their young people out protesting with them. without the fear tactics and police intimidation, people came out in droves to support ferguson.
the discussion of mike brown cannot end here. the relief is palpable and the decrease of tension under johnson's excellent leadership is a huge mercy, but justice has not been served yet. now, hopefully, citizens will get to work together with the legal system for swift and transparent justice for mike brown & the countless other black men & women across the nation who have been unlawfully treated, and in many cases died, at the hands of police. let all of us use the alleviated atmosphere to focus the conversation, focus the nation. #mikebrown
Aaron Hill is a disabled boy in Okeechobee who was lured out of his home by a girl claiming to want to go on a date. Once to the location she chose, he was ambushed by Andrew Wheeler and a gang of at least 8 other people. Andrew beat him senseless, held a knife to his throat, And told him he was going to shoot and kill him. This was filmed the whole time, but currently this is the only video I can get a hold of. The video was on Andrew's facebook and he went around bragging about his crime. He was arrested, but only charged with minor assault and no charges or arrests are being made on the others involved. Some of the others involved have family in the Okeechobee police department and also DCF. One of the parents even destroyed evidence to protect their guilty little brat. So now the Okeechobee Police Department are trying to bury this story because some of the kids have ties to the department. We're asking everyone to spread this around that we want justice for Aaron, that if anyone has a copy of the video please take it to the media. We need all media outlets to know this is a cover up and we will not accept it. Please download and spread this video. We're using the hashtag JusticeForAaron.
PLEASE, if you have it, PLEASE make a copy and take it to all media, ALL MEDIA, not just Okeechobee I'm talking surrounding counties. This is extremely important. Aaron and his mother are getting death threats and they deserve justice. We need more people! Okeechobee is a little town run by the Good Ole Boys. Ferguson is allowing them to think this is okay. News channel 25 contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com or 5616942525! We need this to blow up to make this stop. In the wake of Michael Brown and the others that have been hurt by police, we cannot let them bury this like a bunch of crime lords. Their job is to protect us, not protect the guilty from justice. And by the way there's been ANOTHER unarmed black man killed by police. He was shot in the back and he was complying with police orders. He was also mentally handicapped. This. Needs. To. Stop.
Please, signal boost the HELL out of this. #JusticeForAaron
WARNING THIS IS A VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO BUT IT NEEDS ATTENTION BROUGHT TO IT. As someone who has a disabled brother this hits home quite hard. If someone as defenseless as Aaron and his family don't receive the justice and peace that they deserve then I have NO fucking hope for this planet anymore. This is not an isolated instance either. Disabled people are treated less than who they actually are, even like animals at times and THIS NEEDS TO STOP. THEY ARE PEOPLE AND THEY ARE HERE TO LIVE THEIR LIVES IN PEACE AND HAPPINESS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

The proposed dissolution of Evanston Township was noticeably absent from the official agenda at Tuesday night's annual township meeting, but the issue was front and center for many of those who spoke.
At the first township board meeting since Evanston voters supporting township dissolution by a 67 to 33 percent margin, Evanston aldermen -- who double as township board members -- and city staff said they still had no immediate plans for actualizing the public consensus voiced during the March 20 elections.
Ald. Coleen Burrus (9th Ward) said that the city was still "exploring options" of what to do next. Evanston City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz said that the city never created a definitive plan of how to follow up a successful advisory referendum.
City of Evanston officials have explored the idea of dissolving Evanston Township and having the city assume its responsibilities in the hope that reduced office rental and personnel costs could save the city nearly $400,000. The township government currently levies taxes, administers a general assistance program and assists residents with property tax assessments.
The board's hesitation to act immediately on the 2-to-1 'yes' vote likely stems from its goal to steer clear of any legal ramifications that might accompany township dissolution. In November, Evanston City Attorney Grant Farrar warned that conflicting state laws determining the road to dissolution that could land the city in trouble.
With no clear path to follow and state amendment legislation in the Illinois General Assembly, city officials seem content to sit tight for the moment and brainstorm their next move.
But several citizens and township employees, who spoke at Tuesday's meeting, openly voiced their to any move that would change how the township is currently run.
Both of Evanston Township's elected officials -- Township Supervisor Patricia Vance and Township Assessor Bonnie Wilson -- spoke about the value the township offices brought to the city and its residents, providing examples of the personal and nuanced services they provide.
Evanston resident Brenda Foster supplied a firsthand account of such an interaction, relating how a township employee helped her correct a seven-year old tax problem that no one else could figure out.
"Had it not been for that office, I would probably still be in the same situation," Foster said. "I would just like to publically say that I am highly appreciative, and I feel blessed that [the township office] was there. And I got money back!"
Longtime residents Albert Gibbs questioned whether the city would be able to efficiently assume township responsibilities.
"The city is having problems balancing their budget," Gibbs said. "And, from what it appears, the township budget has been balanced. They may even have a surplus because of the efficient way that it has been managed and handled. Because of the expertise of the supervisor that cares beyond it just being a job. So I don't see how…if you take if over how are you going to do a better job?"
Because Tuesday night was the annual meeting for all Evanston Township electors, any person who could prove they were an Evanston resident and a registered voter had the right to participate.
At the beginning of the meeting, both Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and Evanston resident Padma Rao -- best known for her over tree removals -- were nominated to moderate the session. Tisdahl won by a 44 - 8 vote.
The next annual Evanston Township meeting is scheduled for April 16, 2013, but the board will likely convene before that date.

Dreamers Lodge Review
The outside of this hotel is quite dated and unglamorous, but the rooms themselves are a definite step up from the exterior, with comfortable armchairs as well as some appliances in all the rooms. For simple accommodations, they are well equipped and reliable. In addition, there are two apartment-style suites.

Common Core | News
On May 30, Republican Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina signed a bill that requires the state to drop the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as of the 2015-2016 school year. South Carolina joins Indiana as states that have eliminated CCSS.
CCSS will stay in place in South Carolina for the 2014-2015 school year. The bill charges the South Carolina Department of Education with developing new standards, which the state school board and the Education Oversight Committee must approve. Any new standards not developed by the state education department would need the approval of a joint resolution of the legislature.
The new law also prohibits the state from administering CCSS assessments being developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina, legislation that would move the Tar Heel State's public schools away from CCSS is moving through both chambers of the General Assembly.
Last week, the House approved a proposal to dismantle CCSS and direct the State Board of Education to devise new standards with help from a new commission. A similar bill has cleared the Senate's education committee.
The current bills stipulate that, as in South Carolina, CCSS would continue to be used until replaced by the Board of Education.

Fedora, Red Hat Working On "Project Lumberjack"
Published on 01 March 2012 04:20 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
8 Comments
There's new Fedora-hosted work going on: Project Lumberjack. This initiative is about improving system logging on Linux.
As mentioned in
this blog post
by Balázs Scheidler, a few weeks ago a discussion took place at one of Red Hat's offices regarding Linux logging support. Besides Balázs, Lennart Poettering, Steve Gibbs, and other Linux developers were there to discuss everything about Linux logging.
In terms of what happened, "We discussed a couple of pain points for logging, logging is usually an afterthought during development, computer based processing, correllation of application logs is nearly impossible. We roughly agreed that the key to improve the situation is to involve the community at large, initiate a momentum and try to get application developers on board and have them create structured logs. We also agreed that this will not happen overnight and we need to take a gradual approach."
The result of this meeting was to come up with Project Lumberjack. Lumberjack is about integrating logs from exisiting applications that are already in a structured form, a mechanism to submit structured logs to local logging systems, a mechanism to store messages in a structured form, a way to query the structured messages, and a naming scheme for the event data.
Besides Fedora and Red Hat developers being involved, Project Lumberjack is also supported by the maintainers of rsyslog and Syslog-NG.
project web-site
describes Lumberjack as, "an open-source project to update and enhance the event log architecture. lumberjack aims to improve the creation and standardize the content of event logs by implementing the concepts and specifications proposed by the Common Event Expression (CEE). The goal is to not only provide developers and users with improved event logs, but also help build better utilities."

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has lauded his players' performances in their tricky opening to the new Premier League season.
The Villa Park outfit were handed a difficult start to the campaign with visits to Arsenal and Chelsea, while a home game against Liverpool is next up on Saturday.
But they put in a excellent display to win 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium, and followed that with a gutsy display in their 2-1 defeat to Jose Mourinho's side at Stamford Bridge.
And Lambert is delighted with the high-tempo football his side have produced in their visits to London.
"We have come away from two difficult games with our confidence really high," he said ahead of the match with Liverpool.
"We're vibrant - and so we should be because of the way we have played.
"The lads are playing incredibly well at the moment. We have got the bit between the teeth, which is great.
"They have been outstanding in the last couple of games. We went to a team who could win the Premier League and who will be playing in the Champions League. But we took the game to them and gave them a right fright.
"The way we are playing, there's energy and pace. My own view is we have a really good style of football.
"We play quick, energetic football. Hopefully everyone who comes to watch us enjoys it."
