The Vintage Air Tour - 2008 PPG Street RodderWritten by on November 1, 2008 Leg II: The Vintage Air Tour
Road Tour: Leg 2
The e-mail from STREET RODDER Editor Brian Brennan was short and to the point: "The tub's done and on its way to Texas." He was speaking of the new '34 phaeton from Australia that has been the subject of our "Ultimate Underpinnings" stories and the car that I would be driving on the Vintage Air leg of the Road Tour from San Antonio, Texas, to the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Of course, my fearless leader had to add a footnote: "And by the way, you'll be on a deadline while you're on the road, so take your laptop." I could almost see the big grin on his face on the computer screen.
The trip got off to an interesting start. If you want to see pandemonium at the airport, watch what happens when the guy in front of you tosses an overnight bag on the screening conveyor and an electric tooth brush is inadvertently turned on. You can get a pretty accurate head count of all the TSA employees on duty.
Like most street rodders, I'd rather drive to an event than fly, but since the '34 tub Tom Medley and I would be touring in was waiting in San Antonio, we both winged our way to Texas. After arriving at Vintage Air on Thursday, the first order of business was to check out what needed to be done to the phaeton, as it had accumulated very few miles before being hauled to San Antonio. It turned out that a couple of brake line fittings were seeping, both exhaust pipes needed to be wrapped-as they were close to the fuel lines and pump-the frontend needed more caster, and the headlights needed adjustment. For a new car, these were all minor glitches, all of which were easier to fix at Vintage Air than on the road, plus we had capable help.
Landis Chisenhall was drafted to lend a hand on the tub, and our hosts were making all preparations to get underway while we puttered with the phaeton. Jack Chisenhall was welding a cracked grille bar on his mega-mile '39 sedan, Rick Love was searching for the source of a new noise from his equally well-traveled '39 Ford coupe, and George Packard was trying to avoid eye contact because his pristine Deuce coupe needed nothing other than gas.
The tub was ready by Saturday, as was Jack's sedan. Rick discovered the water pump on his coupe was the culprit responsible for the racket from under the hood, but again it was something easier to fix in the shop rather than on the road so repairs on his ride continued.
After a short drivers' meeting Sunday morning, we were off to our first stop on the trip, Hatfield Restorations in Canton, Texas. Looking through the variety of buildings on the park-like grounds gave us some insight into Gary Hatfield's operation, which revolves around the fact that they do first-class work on classics, musclecars, and street rods, and almost anything with wheels. There's nothing these guys can't do, and that includes preparing great Mexican food. After saying so long to the gracious Hatfield crew, we were off to our first night stop at the Boomtown Casino in Bossier City, Louisiana.
The group's first destination on Monday was the Bonnie & Clyde Ambush Museum in nearby Gibsland. Boots Hinton, whose father was one of the lawmen involved in the ambush of the outlaw duo, was our host. Interestingly, the museum occupies the former location of Ma Canfield's Caf, where Bonnie and Clyde dined for the last time.
Next on the agenda was a visit to historic Vicksburg, Mississippi, and a tour of the National Military Park, which commemorates the campaign, siege, and defense of the area during the Civil War. The USS Cairo is on display, along with 1,330 monuments and markers, a 16-mile tour road, and a National Cemetery. Sunk during the battle, the Cairo sat on the bottom of the Yazoo River in Mississippi for 102 years; it was raised in 1964 and is now on display.
I was feeling rather smug on the way to dinner that night, as the tub was performing flawlessly, but then driver error came into play. Medley and I discovered that when the gas gauge says empty, it means it. With the engine dead, we coasted into a gas station only to find it was closed; fortunately, we had enough momentum and the terrain sloped downhill enough, which allowed us to roll into a neighboring station that was open.
Tuesday's lunch stop was at COMP Cams in Memphis, Tennessee. COMP's product line embraces just about everything from single-cylinder Briggs & Stratton junior dragster engines to the V-8s on NASCAR tracks, and of course lots and lots of street rods. We were given a tour of the facility where camshafts, pushrods, rocker arms, and all the other valvetrain parts the company offers are produced.
From COMP, it was a short trip to Holly Springs, Mississippi, where George Poteet was our host for dinner. A street rodder, Bonneville racer, and all-around good guy, he showed us his eclectic collection that contains some of the finest street rods in the country. George's generosity is legendary; he even offered a "loaner" street rod to one of the Road Tour participants having transmission trouble.
George treated the group to breakfast at Ellie Mae's Caf on Wednesday morning, and then we hit the road for our final destination of Bowling Green, Kentucky. Up to this point, our trip had been trouble free, but in Paris, Kentucky, the '34's exhaust note suddenly got much louder; the head pipes had come loose from the exhaust manifolds. Thanks to the friendly bunch at Mike's Mufflers, the missing fasteners were replaced and we were back on the road.
After running out of gas earlier, I decided to top off when the gas gauge dropped to a quarter of a tank-ironically, that led to the next problem. Shortly after we took off, the normally crisp small-block began to falter, so I turned around and went back a few miles to my last stop rather than risk having to make roadside repairs. That was a good choice, as it seems one of the locals was giving the management an ear full about contaminated fuel. And, although the telltale odor was missing, the suspicion was diesel fuel had been put in the wrong underground tank. We were on the road again after dumping what we had onboard and filling up with fresh gas from another pump, and the engine was its old self again after a few miles.
Thursday morning, we were given a tour of the Corvette plant, where we saw the assembly process from beginning to end. (As a side note, if you're planning on buying a new Vette, you can make arrangements to follow your car down the line and pick it up at the factory.) Then, we all met at nearby Holley, conveniently located in Bowling Green, for a tour. Matt Held took our group through the impressive facility that produces carburetors, blowers, heads, and all the other products in the company's lineup.
Our final destination was the Hot Rod Reunion at the impressive Beech Bend Raceway. A special area was set aside for those on the Road Tour, and the rest of the weekend was spent watching great nostalgia-style racing, touring the pits, walking through the swap meet, checking out all the other cars, and just hanging out with a bunch of good folks (see page 150 for the full story). It was a great way to wrap up a fun week. For more information about how to join in on the fun in 2009, call the Road Tour Hot Line at (800) 664-1362, or visit www.streetrodderweb.com.
Road Tourians
A term coined by our own Jerry Dixey, it's used to describe those who participate in the Road Tour and their vehicles. Here's a look at a few of them.
Curry and Rosa Cross joined the Road Tour to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, and it was her idea! Now that's true love.
Starting out as a two-door business coupe, the '50 Chevy has a long list of body modifications by Jesse and Jereme Miller. It has been nosed, decked, and chopped 4 inches; the driprails and vent windows have been removed; the headlights have been frenched; the bumpers have been smoothed; the doors and trunk are electric; and custom taillights have been installed. Inside is a custom dash and leather seats. A 400hp small-block Chevy topped with two four-barrel carburetors rests under the Autumn Gold Metallic sheetmetal; the transmission is a 700-R4. For suspension, a combination of a Heidts Mustang II frontend, four-bars in the rear, and Air Ride Technologies ShockWaves are used. Wheels are Billet Specialties Qualifiers, 18-inchers in front with 20s in back.

The driving forces (and we mean that in every way possible) behind the Vintage Air Tour (left to right): George Packard with his '32 Ford five-window highboy; Jack Chisenhall with his '39 Ford sedan; Rick Love and his '39 Ford coupe.Those on the tour met at Vintage Air on Sunday morning and, after a quick drivers' meeting, hit the road on the 429-mile leg to Bossier City, LA.Some maintenance and occasional repairs are required if you put lots of miles on a rod. Rick's coupe normally never misses a beat but was treated to a new water pump before we hit the road.On the other hand, newly constructed cars often need a bug or two looked after. Kart racer and future rock star Landis Chisenhall (left) and his dad, Jack, wrap the tub's exhaust pipes with insulation.Hatfield Restorations looks like a theme park for rodders-the buildings, grounds, and the cars they build are all beautiful. Jerry Dixey rolled in to a chorus of cheers; a plugged fuel filter had impeded his progress.Rick (right) gets the lowdown on Gary Hatfield's personal pride and joy. The '34 Ford Vicky is full of subtle tricks, like the streamlined '37 door handles and the metal massaging necessary to get the Chrysler Hemi in the engine compartment.
We stopped by the Civil War battlefield in Vicksburg, MS, just in time to get a demonstration of vintage firepower that was followed by a driving tour of the grounds.Hatfield's is well-known for turning out first-class street rods, restored classics, antiques, and sports cars. They also have an interesting inventory of cars for sale, including this '32 Ford three-window drag car with an injected 426 Chrysler Hemi.The Road Tour is everything the name implies; seeing the country is great, doing it in a street rod is even better. Bill and Sherry Moyer are regulars in their '36 Plymouth.Before departing each morning, there was a quick drivers' meeting to go over the day's route and answer any questions.Rob Hamis probably had an easier time diagnosing the fuel system glitch in his '32 sedan delivery than he did unloading all the stuff it was hauling.Tuesday's lunch stop was at COMP Cams in Memphis. We were given a tour of the facility after everyone had their fill of barbecue, then we were presented with goodie bags and T-shirts.COMP Cams has a huge stock of blanks for just about every popular engine, plus a surprising number for the more obscure designs.There's no quick way to mass-produce quality camshafts. A "master" controls the machine that grinds each lobe individually.
George has a great eye for what's right and has some of the finest cars in the country as a result. Dave Lane built George's'32 sedan delivery.Along with a variety of storage buildings on the property, George has a spotless, fully equipped shop. A couple of those on the tour took advantage of the facility to make repairs.With a collection like George's, the biggest problem has to be deciding which one to drive; of course, that's a problem we wouldn't mind having.George treated everyone to homemade ice cream; in true hot rod style, it was churned by a John Deere hit-and-miss engine.Johnny Stanford of Georgetown, TX, brought out his fresh '32 Ford five-window. The homebuilt highboy rolls on Torq-Thrust IIs and is powered by a vintage-looking small-block Chevy.Holley's open house included lunch and a tour of the facility. The company's product lines include Weiand, FlowTech, Earl's Performance Plumbing, and NOS.Holley produces blowers in the Weiand line, ranging in size from the diminutive 142 series to the big, bad 8-71 style.So, what are these Rochester carbs doing at Holley? They were treated to the company's not-so-well-known restoration service. Holley can make most carburetors look, and perform, like new.
The Vintage Air Road Tour ended up at the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, KY, where a special parking area was provided for participants.J.P. and Anita Hunter came along for the ride in their Sequoia cream Dearborn Deuce. Stretched 8 inches forward of the firewall, a custom hood with the stock louver pattern covers a 408-inch small-block Ford backed by a Tremec five-speed transmission. Wheels are Vintique wires wrapped with Coker wide-white radials.Inside is a Wise Guys seat, black leather and brocade upholstery, an AM/FM/CD player, a 7-inch DVD screen, and satellite radio. Other features include electric exhaust cutouts and Zephyr taillights.We get quite a few interesting rides on the Road Tour. Dan Smith has some outstanding '32 Fords, but one of the most unique is his Wayne-bodied bus. Taken out of service in 1947, it now hauls Dan's street-rodding buddies instead of inmates from the real Goose Creek Penitentiary. The chassis has been updated with a Mustang II IFS and 9-inch Ford rearend on airbags. Under the hood is an EFI-equipped 454 Chevy backed by a 4L80E transmission. Marc Byers did much of the work on the super-sized Deuce.
Mopar fans Don and Liz Crockett toured in their emerald-pearl metallic'36 Plymouth four-door. The owner-built sedan uses an '04 5.7 Hemi and five-speed automatic. Front suspension is Mustang II, and a Corvette IRS resides in back. Inside is a Tea's front seat with matching upholstery throughout, while a Vintage Air heat and cool unit controls the climate. Along with performance that is superior to the 340 it replaced, the new Hemi has clicked off as many as 33 miles on a gallon of gas.When something is said to cost an arm and a leg, Myron Griffin knows the true value-he's a prosthetist, someone who fits artificial limbs. Myron's '40 Ford pickup was a well-used farm truck when he got it; the bed looked like a gunnysack full of walnuts and the tailgate was a road-closed sign, but that was then. Now, it has a full Total Cost Involved chassis, a 350 Chevrolet engine, a Tremec five-speed, and a 9-inch Ford rear. Myron opted for a hydraulic brake booster, which he reports works very well. Inside, a Wise Guys seat replaced the original, Dakota Digital gauges fill the dash, and there's satellite radio and GPS for making those long trips comfortable. Since the original was beyond saving, a Horkey reproduction bed was mounted, then all the sheetmetal was painted a combination of Chrysler factory colors, Frost White and Argent Silver. The stock two-piece windshield has been replaced by one-piece (not V-butted) glass that dramatically improves visibility. Just in case you were wondering, according to Myron, a top-of-the-line arm and leg would cost around $125K.

|It's time to monitor pest problems in the field
|Written by Assefa Gebre-Amlak, Regional Extension Specialist, Colorado State University Extension
According to CSU plant pathologist, reports of stripe rust are coming in from the southwestern and west central parts of Kansas. The cool and wet weather over the past few weeks may have increased the infection of rust spores. Scouting fields along the Kansas borders for stripe rust is recommended.
Stripe rust often starts in small hot spots in the field but it may not always be possible to determine if stripe rust is present by walking a few feet and taking a peek at only one spot in the field. Scan the entire field and look for areas that look off color (yellow to orange). For effective fungicides to control stripe rust and other fungal diseases visit www.no copestalert.org.
There are reports of brown wheat mite in southeastern Colorado including Kit Carson and Prowers counties. Brown wheat mite is a pest of small grains and in Colorado it is most common on drought stressed winter wheat in the eastern Plains. It feeds on plant sap during the day and spends the night in the soil. The mites are quickly reduced by driving rains of 1/3 inch or more.
Because of the sporadic nature of brown wheat mite, chemical control is the only effective option. The economic threshold is not well defined but at least several hundred mites per row-foot in the early spring will justify chemical treatment. The decision to treat is difficult since the mite is associated with drought stress. If it rains, mite population levels will be significantly reduced regardless of treatment.
There has been no report of Russian wheat aphid presence in winter wheat so far. It was also undetected in wheat scouting in southeastern Colorado recently. For chemical control of the Russian wheat aphids on susceptible varieties of wheat, the following economic threshold levels used at different crop stages.
—Regrowth to early booting: 5-10 percent damaged and infested tillers.
—Early booting to flowering: 10-20 percent damaged and infested tillers.
—After flowering: more than 20 percent damaged and infested tillers.
Alfalfa: alfalfa weevil is the most destructive insect pest of alfalfa in Colorado. Both larvae and adults feed on alfalfa; the larval stage is damaging stage, lowering yield and quality.
Timing of sampling for weevil is determined by calculating degree days in the field. Development of this insect increases at nearly constant rate as the temperature rises above 48 F degrees (9 C). Degree days need to be determined after March 1 for each 24-hour period in which temperatures exceeded 48 degrees (daily degree days = daily max+min/2-48).
Using this technique, sampling should begin when 148 degree days have accumulated.
In the northern region of Colorado, the majority of alfalfa producing counties has already accumulated the amounts of degree days indicated above. Therefore it is encouraged producers start scouting for alfalfa weevil now.
Third and fourth instar larvae cause most of the economic damage; therefore it is important to estimate weevil density before the damaging instars develop. Plant tip damage is readily visible at this time if a heavy infestation is present. Folded leaves must be opened to detect lighter infestations that may develop into an economically important infestation.
If larvae are detected during a minimum of 10-minute initial search in any field, a sample survey should be conducted in each field to determine if the infestation is likely to cause economic damage.
A non-insecticide control measure for alfalfa weevil is an early first harvest if economic infestation is not detected until late in the growth of the first cutting. Harvesting alfalfa in an immature stage provides good control of the larvae for first crop.
If the damage becomes unacceptable as harvest approaches, an early harvest or rescue insecticide treatment may be necessary. Insecticide applications and early harvesting are the most common growing management strategies.
Generally harvest or insecticide applications should happen before bloom if the weevils are present. Consider the waiting period before harvest for different insecticides. For effective insecticides on alfalfa weevil, check the High Plains IPM Guide at www.highplainsipm.org.

I had a good year in the high country this season. Saw 15 bucks during archery and rifle season. Helped a friend fill his tag with a nice 3x2, my brother and I took his son on a backpack trip and he scored on a great first buck.I shot a meat buck on some private property not too far from the house in the low country. I never saw the kind of buck I was looking for in the high country, I passed on a nice 4x3 the next to last weekend thinking I had a few more days to hunt and a little bit of snow coming. I was able to get a few pics of the 4x3 in the spot i found him.That little bit of snow ended up being 2 feet! The deer started the migration and my season was done.

2009 Pontiac G8 GT - Unusual SuspectWritten by on June 25, 2014 Contributors: David Bonaskiewich A Pontiac lifer crafts a one-of-a-kind G8
Dwayne Mussard's automotive life story reads like something straight out of a Pontiac advertising campaign—that is, if Pontiac was still around and launching advertising campaigns. From a childhood spent in the backseat of his father's '65 GTO to the ineluctable teenage infatuation with the gold-on-black Trans Am of the Smokey and the Bandit films, Mussard's formative years almost seem to have been predesigned to cultivate a brand loyalist for life.
"The styling, the performance …what's not to love?" asks Mussard, who today works as a deputy sheriff in the Orlando suburb of Lake Mary, Florida. "Pontiacs were never just transportation—they were built for excitement."
Excitement, yes, but also style and luxury, a blend of core competencies perhaps best embodied in one of the brand's final offerings, the '08-'09 G8 sedan.
Like the new ('04-'06) GTO before it, the G8 was plucked from the lineup of GM's Australian Holden arm, lightly reconfigured to meet U.S. safety standards, and unleashed, mutatis mutandis, on the American driving public. Finally, it seemed, GM had a real contender in a performance-sedan market previously dominated by European imports.
But while the car was attractive, comfortable, and sensational to drive, someone forgot to alert Pontiac's marketing department to the existence of the division's new BMW fighter, and G8s initially sold with the approximate celerity of Vegemite milkshakes. Only after a slew of laudatory press reviews hit did enthusiast car buyers finally begin opening their eyes to the performance bargain hiding in plain sight.
It's all the more surprising, then, that GM elected to pull the plug on the G8 (and the Excitement Division itself) just as the car seemed poised to achieve mainstream appeal. Not since the furiously fettled Fiero met a similar fate in the late '80s had such an undeserving vehicle come to grief as a result of corporate myopia.
Fortunately for those in the know, some 34,000 G8s did manage to exit the stable before the gates slammed shut, making this fleet four-door an accessible, if relatively uncommon, platform for personalization. Mussard, who had coveted a GT model since new, finally acquired his Stryker Blue '09 early last year, capitalizing on the steep depreciation curve that commonly afflicts discontinued vehicles.
Having saved a considerable sum thanks to his forbearance, Mussard didn't wait long to apply a suite of custom touches to his new acquisition. Since the car's 6.0L L76 engine was already a 361hp juggernaut as installed (and to keep from voiding GM's generous 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty), he has thus far limited the power-building modifications to a K&N cold-air induction system, a Corsa converter-back exhaust system, and a Superchips PCM tune. But despite the limited nature of these tweaks, Mussard has been quite pleased with the results.
"The tune, in particular, made a huge difference. I was able to firm up the shifts, and the throttle response is noticeably better," he says. Long-tube headers are next up on the mod list, with a supercharger likely to follow.
The list of chassis upgrades is similarly brief, encompassing only a set of Eibach lowering springs and a thicker front sway bar from Aussie vendor Whiteline Performance Suspension. A quartet of 20x8-inch Falken RT-7M wheels encased in 255/35ZR20 Velozza ZXV rubber provide an ample contact patch while also supplying adequate clearance for the factory brakes and underpinnings.
All of these alterations combine to create an exceptionally well-rounded performance machine, one capable of crossing swords with bucks-up German makes while cosseting four or even five adults in luxury.
"The car doesn't know it is a full-size sedan," says Mussard. "Passing is effortless, [but] it also provides a very comfortable ride. Provided my foot is not in it, I can get around 20 mpg, which adds up to an unbeatable combination."
While the G8 GT's restrained exterior treatment ranks among the best of the modern Pontiacs, Mussard managed to elevate its presentation several notches without straying into the realm of cosmetic overkill. HID headlights, LED driving lights, and clear side markers are easily discerned by most onlookers, but the origins of one especially subtle change may require a second look to trace.
"The rear diffuser is actually from the GXP model," says Mussard, who notes that in addition to being more aggressive-looking than its GT-spec counterpart, the uplevel piece is also easier to keep clean. Best of all, it was the very definition of a bolt-on mod. "It cost around $150 and literally took five minutes to install."
The car's interior remains stock for now, though Mussard hopes to add custom, color-matched inserts to the seats. "I just have to find a blue that doesn't look gaudy," he notes.
Improving on near perfection is never easy, but by adhering to a well-conceived build plan, Mussard has managed to craft for himself a Pontiac that ticks every box on his must-have list. He's even become a model evangelist of sorts, even if that was never his intent.
"Shortly after purchasing my G8, my sister-in-law and I were traveling across the state for business," he relates. "I needed a break, so she took a turn behind the wheel. A short time later, the questions started flying about the car. A couple of weeks later, she traded up and became a G8 GT owner herself."
Talk about potential ad campaigns!

Don't call it a donk—20-inch Falken wheels wrapped in Velozza ZXV rubber stick the G8 to the road like a tick to a wallaby. MGP caliper covers furnish the coveted big-brake look without the big-brake price tag.Finished in the aptly named shade of Stryker Blue, Dwayne Mussard's G8 GT cuts an imposing figure on the road. Though the car's competition exposure has heretofore been limited to the show field, Mussard plans on hitting the dragstrip soon with his pals from the Florida G8 Car Club.

Population Dip Alters Town Election; Tax Bills Reflect Changes
February 17, 2013
When the massive, nationwide campaign was launched during the administration of President Dwight Eisenhower to rebuild and modernize the nation's highway system, it was enthusiastically greeted....
Good question, Johnson. It would seem the reporter is assigning reasons based on his bias rather than clear evidence. The loss of population likely results from several causes, including a general downturn in the regional economy.

I'm a little confused by Bridgeport losing Scott Lumber due to Rt 7 by-pass and I-70. I recall visiting Scott Lumber's headquarters in Bridgeport long after the completion of both highways and visiting their retail yard in Lansing, also after completion; so am wondering just how Bridgeport lost Scott Lumber (might be because the entire chain was closed down).

text: looking for feedback on different brands. In my research it appears that the vast majority of gortex boots are not what they use to be. I am not sure if its because they are all made in china or what. For a while I was buying a new pair every year until I settled on the Cabela's Pinacles which I loved till this year. We moved to a different area in Colorado elk hunting and got rained on every day. 4 pairs of Pinacles 1 Danner 1 Wolverine Antelope and 1 Danner hiker. All were tried all got soaked they are all gortex and were not treated with silicone which I know would help. My point is I have about 500 into boots in the last 8 years or so which opens the door to premium boots but I want some proof before switching. In our previous area it was always dry so it wasn't that important but I don't want to go thru another season like that again. Looking for recomendations on good choices that keep you dry and hopefully are still light. Also if they are made in the USA which may be part of the problem.

Chanukah Oh Hanukkah
Tonight is the first night of Chanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. I have been a Rosenberg for more than four years now but I am not really Jewish, merely a Jew-adjacent. However, in my fake Jew-ness I have learned just a couple of things about this holiday.
No one really knows how to spell the name.
According to the Jewish internet, each of the following spellings are acceptable:
• Chanuka
• Chanukah
• Chanukkah
• Channukah
• Hanukah
• Hannukah
• Hanukkah
• Hanuka
• Hanukka
• Hanaka
• Haneka
• Hanika
• Khanukkah
The "CH" at the front of the word CHanukkah did present a problem for my Spanish speaking, English as a second language, Catholic daily mass going, Grandma Sophie. The year I was 12, she sent me what she thought was a Christmas card. On the front, a sweet cartoon of little girl lighting a menorah. "Happy Chanukkah to a sweet grandaughter," printed inside. Looked like the word Christmas to her. Either way, I still got 10 bucks.
There are different pronunciations of the word Hanukkah.
Some just go with the "h" sound, others like to get some phlegm behind it. Allan Murray did a bit in his act years ago where he referred to "Chanukkah" as "Chewbacca." I have pronounced it Chewbacca since then.
Dreidel is Jewish gambling.
The traditional Chanukah/Chanukkah/Hannuka game of Dreidel is played with a four sided top (the dreidel) and foil wrapped chocolate coins (the gelt). Note: The only gelt I could find this year at our local Rite-Aid, has pictures of Sponge Bob Square Pants on it.
On each side of the top is a Hebrew letter representing the different game play.
G - Gimmel - The player Gets it all.
H - Hey - player collects Half of the pot.
S - Shin - The player Sets one of his own items into the pot.
N -Nun - Or as my son refers to it, "Phone." The player collects Nothing from the pot.
The game is played as follows:
Divide gelt equally among the players.
Every player contributes one piece of gelt into a central pile. This becomes the "pot."
Players spin the dreidel in turn and contribute or collect gelt from the pot based upon which letter faces up when the dreidel stops its spin.
The player who gains the most gelt wins.
If the winning player is not my son Bob, there will be fake-Jew hell to pay.
It's really the lowest tech slot machine ever. This includes the slots at the Mobil station in Pahrump, Nevada.
Happy Chewbacca to you, my friends. May you never land on Phone.

A shout out to Pahrump is what MAKES the festival of lights!ReplyDelete
Damn it. You just HAD to mention Pahrump in your lovely Hannukah post. Now I'll have "Whiskey Pete's, Bring your own sheet!" in my head all day.ReplyDelete
when I was managing some customer service reps, I had the pleasure of seeing some notes in the CRM.The rep had thought that Chanukkah was the iPod recipients name...ReplyDelete
"the custumer receeved their iPod from Honica and they says it was broken out of the box"
Strange. We only spell it one way, and pronounce it one way. You Americans have to complicate everything, don't you?ReplyDelete
Finally, the answer to my unasked question. I can now go forth, teach my fellow goyim, and play Chewbacca dreidel. I hope never to land on phone.ReplyDelete
Happy JuanYucca!ReplyDelete
the one time i drove to las vegas i won 186.oo with 3 quarters when i stopped for gas at the mobil station in Parhump, Nevada of course i lost it all when i hit the "festival of lights of las vegas"ReplyDelete

Family members of three people critically injured in a ride mishap at the North Carolina State Fair say they face a long road to recovery.
Anthony Gorham, Kisha Gorham and their 14-year-old son were thrown off the Vortex ride on Oct. 24 when the machine lurched into motion as they tried to get off. The ride's owner and operator face felony assault charges after investigators say key safety equipment was disengaged.
Authorities have been tight-lipped about the family's condition, but a Web page seeking financial help for the Gorhams describes severe injuries including brain, skull, neck and spinal trauma. Family members say they face a long road to recovery that will require several surgeries and intensive rehabilitation. In addition to the injured teen, the couple has two other young children.

How Julia Child Outfitted Her TV Kitchen
The Boston Globe reports one of the coolest events in Boston last week was a daylong symposium on the life and legacy of the inimitable Julia Child, who would have turned 100 in August. Hosted by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study's Schlesinger Library, the event featured friends of Paul and Julia Child from the couple's years in Cambridge, who discussed Child's first TV kitchen.
Ratatouille from Mastering the Art of French Cooking and A Day of Julia
"You have a ratatouille garden!" Julia Child exclaimed to her hostess, Jane Thompson,"we'll have ratatouille for dinner." Thompson was one of many friends and family who recalled Julia Child stories to an adoring crowd in the Radcliffe Gymnasium, all celebrating what would be Julia Child's 100th birthday.
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things…About Julia Child
Food blogger shares the four most wonderful things about Julia Child that she learned from the Radcliffe Institute's Julia Child Centenary Symposium.
Forget Peggy Olson: Mad Women Made Their Mark Long Before the '60s
Marilyn Morgan, archivist at the Radcliffe Institute's Schlesinger Library, highlights the role of women in advertising since the late 1800s. She comments "The female viewpoint opened a door for early ad women, but in the end it held them back". The nature of the work done by these advertising women proved limiting, as agencies then pigeonholed them as suitable only for certain types of assignments. And the very ads they worked on—projecting an image of women as homemakers—reinforced rather stereotyped views about women that restricted their advancement in the work world.

Julia Child Turns 100 at Radcliffe
A Julia-worthy Feast
Before "Iron Chef," before Rachael Ray, before Emeril Lagasse, there was Julia Child. A 6-foot-2 culinary force of nature, Child used her passion for food, her wit, and her charm to demystify French cuisine for the American masses. Child's memory lives on—vividly—at the Radcliffe Insitute's Schlesinger Library at Harvard.
Harvard's Cookbooks Speak of Our History
The Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute houses 100,000 volumes tracing the history of women in America, including 20,000 cookbooks and cooking related materials. Stars within that collection are the papers of M.F.K. Fisher, the Rombauer Beck team of "Joy of Cooking," and everything Julia Child, from her cookbook collection to television scripts to private letters.

Great choice
These tires are probably the best road tires I've ridden. Over 800 miles on them so far and no flats running them at 100psi. The only tires I'd recommend over them are the Maxxis Detonator and that is only because the Detonator is cheaper. However, the Columbiere is faster.
Pinch me
Gotta say no to those Maxxis tires - I've ridden the Colombiere for a season and they flatted with signficantly higher regularity than anything else. Pinch flats and punctures. I even employed the old baby powder trick to no avail.
I disagree. The Columbiere's are the best tires I have used, training or racing. Easy to roll on, great cornering stickiness, and pretty punture proof for a racing tire. I'm a believer.
I also disagree. these tires are awesome and THE best that I have ridden. I have almost 1000 miles on mine and used them quite a bit for commuting with no issues.

This is my newly acquired and just completed recommissioning of an equatorial mount. It was designed by Mr Robert Ellery, Astronomer to the Governor of the State of Victoria and was built by Mr Thomas Gaunt, Optician and Jeweller of Bourke Street, Melbourne, Australia. It was first built in 1877 and in production in this form until 1885.
The mount comes with a purpose built cast iron pier and together they weigh about 250 lbs.
I today completed the restoration of the mount and hope to have the pier complete this weekend.
Initially it will support my Istar At150 F10 Achromat refractor, eventually I will be building a 127mm (5") F15 refractor for this mount.
I was thrilled to find 40 lbs of brass and bronze under the many layers of black paint.

1940 Ford Chassis - Chassis Assembly TipsWritten by on September 11, 2005 Total Cost Involved Builds A '40 Ford Chassis For Me!
Several of my best adolescent car/ truck memories involve first rides: one was in my cousin's shortened-exhaust four-banger Model A Sedan. The interior was stripped down to bare chicken wire. It was loud and drafty, but a most exciting experience for a pre-teen looking forward to the driving privilege. Another neat ride was in an Oklahoma farm truck that was a "patina truck" 50 years before the term was invented. Also drafty and well worn-the experience of riding with my uncle in the high cab is still a vivid memory. The rattles and creaks and smell the fresh-cut alfalfa as we drove to town were as exciting as a picnic shared with kissin' cousins.
When I rescued my basket-case '40 Ford pickup, that distant farm truck ride with my uncle visited me like a ghost. Restoring the desert derelict would be a nifty reminder of a time when excitement was as uncomplicated as a vacation ride to town in an ancient work truck. This project's journey has largely moved along at a snail's pace. Several extended dead-end excursions at hot rod shops did nothing more than delay progress. On the other hand, the experience of seeing Art Barker's crafty restoration of the rusted and wrinkled cab was a special one ("Saving Private Henry," CCT, Jul., Aug. '04).
Another special experience occurred recently as I watched the experienced chassis-building crew at Total Cost Involved build a new chassis for my '40 Ford pickup. Perhaps you can relate to achieving a goal set years ago. The original chassis had a bent framerail and the engine mounts were positioned too far forward. Several other space/location problems needed to be resolved-these were going to be expensive as well. We plan to drive this truck anywhere and everywhere; thus a solid foundation will provide the confidence and reliability to do just that.
The chassis construction began early on the morning of May 17 at TCI. We photographed each step of the construction much like a proud dad videotaping a birth. At each station the crew performed their tasks with confidence and precision. By mid-afternoon the frame and crossmembers were assembled and the brake lines were plumbed. The following week the suspension was assembled and the chassis was a roller.
You may remember, last year CCT covered the development of a new Ford F-1 chassis from TCI in our Mar., Apr., and Jun. issues. We also featured the powdercoated chassis prominently in the October '04 issue as Altered Engineering was beginning the pickup's body panel assembly. Needless to say, the new F-1 TCI chassis was a big hit with vintage '48-52 Ford pickup owners.
For those of you who wish to see the improvements and the assembly process of a modern reproduction chassis, follow our photo essay. Then, if you're still pondering the merits of purchasing one, consider how much satisfaction you might have knowing your vehicle will survive another 50 to 60 years.
Total Cost Involved Engineering has been a leader in building chassis and independent front suspensions for vintage Ford and Chevrolet cars and trucks since 1974. The company has earned a reputation for the highest-quality reproduction chassis on the market and excellent attention to detail in the strength and accuracy of each chassis component. You can have your chassis built to original specifications or modified for modern components including Pro Street rearends.

We arrived at TCI as our framerails were located in the '40 Ford chassis jig. A three-man crew began to install the rectangular-tube crossmembers and the front crossmember for the independent front suspension.Jorge checked the measurement on the bottom of the framerail for proper positioning of the leaf-spring mounting bracket from the rear shock-absorber mount crossmember.Each dimension was double-checked before and after each subcomponent was tack-welded in place. This is best achieved by cross-measuring the chassis diagonally.Only after Chuy was satisfied the position of the front crossmember, or bracket, was correct, he then welded the piece securely in place.The upper shock mount is located on a crossmember slightly behind the rear axle. The crossmember has steel sleeves welded into the square-tube crossmember. Here the sleeves were being ground smooth.
The double rectangular tubing that makes up the center X-member creates excellent strength and allows room to position the exhaust between the X-members. This will reduce the risk of damage to the exhaust system, even if the vehicle stance is very low.At this point the crossmember had been completely welded, and it was time to remove the chassis from the chassis jig.The crossmember welds were ground smooth and inspected for penetration. Soon it would move to the next station where the engine/ trans mounts would be installed.A Ford 351W engine and Ford AOD trans would be the front part of the drivetrain. The next crew selected a dummy block and trans housing to accurately install the engine/trans mounts.
The crew checked the centerline of the AOD trans housing and engine, as well as the correct position forward/rearward.It's also important to mount the engine/trans on a slight angle to position the driveshaft with the proper offsets. This eliminates the possibility of vibrations created by too much offset in the driveshaft/trans universal joint.From underneath we could see the transmission-mounting bracket clamped in place. This bracket is bolted in place to allow the transmission to be removed without hoisting the engine.The top transmission bracket is another safety item that will prevent a broken universal joint on the driveshaft from rupturing the floorboard and entering the cab. It also strengthens the chassis.The Ford engine mounting brackets were welded securely to the inner wall of the frame-rail. There are some interesting structural forces, tension and compression, at work in the design of the brackets.After the chassis was flipped bottom-side up, a C-notch was cut in the front of the framerail where the steering rack would pass under.
As mentioned earlier, the bottom transmission mounting bracket was bolted to the chassis to allow it to drop out-if the transmission needs to be removed without removing the engine.Another strength of the TCI chassis is a round steel sleeve through the framerail where the back end of the leaf spring mounts to the chassis. Here the hole was being drilled to accept the round sleeve.The sleeve was welded around the perimeter (on both sides) for strength-the welds were then ground smooth.The second-stage chassis construction crew was Andre Hernandez, Laonel Hernandez and Freddie Gauvardo. Thanks for the great work, guys.David Hernandez was also on the brake line installation crew. Here he prepared to drill a hole for a mounting bracket on the inside of the framerail.
The hard brake lines were mounted inside the framerail-a position that will protect them from flying road debris. The bottom bracket (on the framerail) secures the line where the braided/flexible hose connects to the hard-line.The third chassis crew consisted of brake-component (proportioning valve) and brake-line installers Diego Rodarte, David Hernandez, and Geoffrey Oka. Each brake line is hand-bent for the chassis being built. One more big thanks to everyone at TCI who worked on my chassis.The crew wrapped up the installation of the brake lines and brake components. Next it would go to be assembled by fabricator Ed Balser.This overhead shot was taken after Ed assembled the front and rear suspension. TCI offers a variety of options, such as drum or disc brakes, chrome-plated steel upper and lower control arms, coilover rear suspension with four-link, antisway bars, and a plain or chrome-plated steel Panhard bar. These are just a few of the many options available. Check out TCI's website, www.totalcost involved.com-there are plenty of quality products to choose from.

"Never go to the car dealership without a man. They will take advantage of you because you're a woman."
I can't tell you the number of times that I've heard this. Naturally, I begin to protest against this statement, but then I remember the fact that my own mother was charged double what she was suppose to pay. I remember my aunt was suckered into paying for a number of "problems" with her car that quite frankly didn't exist. I remember my cousin angrily ranting that although she was the one purchasing the car, the dealer only spoke to her boyfriend while making his sales pitch.
So what's really going on here? Although we are angry about the statement that men should be with us while purchasing a car, is this actually sound advice? Nolo reports: "Women buy 54% of the cars in the United States, and influence 84% of all vehicle purchase decisions. Yet most women dread the car buying experience, with good reason. Women often get ignored, patronized, or just plain ripped off at car dealerships. And lack of knowledge about cars and the car buying process isn't always the culprit. In a study conducted by two economists in Chicago, car dealers quoted higher prices to a test group of women than to a similar group of men, even when those women came to the dealership armed with the same information as the men, and followed the same "script" as the men."
TrueCar decided to release a commercial which discusses the worries that women face while purchasing their car. It is clear that the ad aims to relieve this stress and point out how TrueCar.com can help women be brave enough to venture into the car dealership all on their own. Instead of a man, now women have TrueCar!
Sense a bit of a condescending tone there? Yup, we did too. In fact, many people had a negative response to the ad which gave the impression that TrueCar would be the male replacement. Because we still apparently can't apparently walk into a car dealership and successfully negotiate the deal on our own. No, we need a male or a male replacement.
So tell us what you think? Is this commercial simply being misinterpreted? Or do their good intentions fall short? Watch the ad below and tell us what you think:

Tennis legends Pete Sampras + Andre Agassi renewed their historic rivalry for an exhibition match in Macao this past weekend.
And it seems they picked up where the left off: Pete defeated Andre 3-6, 6-3, 10-8. Their last pro match was the 2002 US Open final when Pete grabbed his then-record setting 14th major title over his great rival.
The Las Vegas natives ball-striking ability can still impress according to the 7-time Wimbledon champion:
Andre just hits the ball so cleanly, even after being retired for three years. The pace of his shots was very heavy.
Pete's legendary skills at the net haven't seemed to dull over the years, either:
Pete's hands are the same as they've always been. He has great feel for the ball. He surprised me with the number of pickups he made out there. It was like it just came very naturally.
Last year, Pete defeated Roger Federer in Macao during the last match of their Asian exo series.

2011 State of Warehousing/DC Equipment and Technology Survey
Webcast: Join Group Editorial Director Michael Levans, Executive Editor Bob Trebilcock, and materials handling equipment consultant Don Derewecki as they go deeper into the data gleaned form the 2011 survey results while tracking changes in the material handling market over the past year.
March 01, 2011
Low capacity = low motivation to improve
There's one explanation for the low amount of spending dollars attributed for 2011: There's just too much available capacity. Even though growth and spending started turning the corner last year, there's still plenty of available capacity in our respondents' facilities with utilizations averaging only 64 percent, a continuing decline from last year's 65 percent.
"Corporate management is guaranteed to question the need for additional investments when operating at such low capacity utilizations," says Derewecki. "People really don't even think of investing until capacity constraints start biting them."
This continued downhill trend in capacity utilization for manufacturing is also baffling our experts. "Most manufacturers, in order to stay in business, had to really consolidate their manufacturing effort," notes Pribula. "With the optimism in the economy and the building of inventory, I would think it would rather be on the uptick, instead of going down." He cites a company with three plants that currently have very high utilization rates—but two years ago, it had five plants.
There is also continued low capacity in stand-alone warehouses (60 percent on average) and warehouses supporting manufacturing (56 percent on average). "This doesn't surprise me," says Pribula. He believes companies, in general, have gotten much better at demand planning and controlling their inventories.
Shopping list for 2011
While the budget for this year's materials handling spending may not be as big as many had hoped, let's examine the areas where supply chain organizations say they're going to spend their money over the next 18 months.
The top three items remain the same as the 2010 findings: (1) New equipment/new equipment upgrades (68 percent); (2) Information technology hardware/software (47 percent); and (3) Staffing/labor(37 percent).
For specific material handling equipment, results show continued high interest in RFID solutions/products and automated storage solutions (including carousels and vertical lift modules) for two years in a row. However, the percentage of respondents actually using RFID and automated storage has remained relatively unchanged from last year—at about 20 percent. "It doesn't surprise me that they are evaluating it," notes Pribula. "But when are they going to truly invest? Are they really going to implement it?"
SAVE THIS IMPORTANT WEBCAST DATE | Thursday, March 31, 2011 | 1:00 p.m. EST
Join Group Editorial Director Michael Levans, Executive Editor Bob Trebilcock, and materials handling equipment consultant Don Derewecki as they go deeper into the data gleaned form the 2011 survey results while tracking changes in the material handling market over the past year.
Over in the information management systems aisle, with over 40 percent of respondents already using ERP and WMS, plans are to evaluate and invest mostly in warehouse control systems (WCS), transportation management systems (TMS), and voice systems. Derewecki predicts voice technology will gain even more traction in the coming years. "It's a means for significantly improving the execution and control of your operation without a huge hardware investment," he says. "While it's been used in picking for a long time, it could be used very flexibly in virtually every department such as receiving and replenishment."
Best practices inside the four walls
For two years in a row, both manufacturing and distribution sectors have considered (1) continuous improvement, (2) labor productivity, measurement, and management, and (3) "lean" operations as very important best practices inside their organizations. For manufacturing, results show a significant percentage increase in the importance of building to stock. Derewecki points out that when you build to stock, product rolls off the assembly line directly into a trailer for shipping to a customer. "In this case," says Derewecki, "you don't need warehousing."
For distribution, same-day order shipping is gaining importance. "It's consistent with what we're seeing out there," reports Derewecki. "We just did a project for a healthcare company and their policy is if you order it by 5:00 p.m. it gets shipped that day."
Value-added services (VAS) are also gaining prominence. While a few companies may be doing it as a means of differentiating themselves, it's mostly because customers are demanding it, says Derewicki. "They're pushing more services back up the supply chain so you have more shelf-ready merchandise for retailers."
Pribula expects increasing focus in trading partner collaboration by 2014. "More companies are working together in such areas as distribution and transportation, sharing loads with their trading partners, or utilizing other people's networks to reduce their costs," he says. "I've heard other people sharing logistical costs based on capacity within certain players—even competitors—not only in rail but also trucking."
Green initiatives continue to blossom
Recycling remains the top green initiative in use at 78 percent, followed closely by lighting fixtures and/or controls (74 percent), and fans to circulate cool or warm air (51 percent). Pribula speculates that the reason these initiatives are so widely in use is because these are fairly inexpensive and quickly gets "green money back to me." He points out that the bottom three: upgraded insulation, LEED certification for new buildings, and solar panels require higher capital costs in order to execute them.
There is also a significant increase in respondents taking advantage of the benefits of being green by obtaining rebates from authorities and applying for tax incentives—from 50 percent in 2010 to 64 percent in 2011.
"There's more of a communication drive and more awareness into these incentives," notes Pribula. "With two of my biggest clients, there are actually people that have been hired to strictly have this responsibility. Yes, they have VPs of sustainability."
Who's doing the buying?
High capital investment projects—such as automation and software that extends beyond the four walls—have heavy involvement from corporate management, while the responsibility for purchasing lower cost solutions—such as lift trucks, racks, and packaging equipment—lies mostly with materials handling and warehousing/DC management.
Our experts were not surprised by the high level of loyalty given to existing suppliers, particularly with IT solutions market. "Many managers of warehouse/DC operations really do see themselves as captive to the information system supplier that they already have, just because it would be such a huge change for them to do something different," adds Derewecki.
However, this sense of loyalty doesn't seem to apply to third-party logistics providers (3PL). Over 40 percent are planning a switch to a new 3PL supplier, instead of sticking with their existing one. "If your existing 3PL becomes non-competitive, there are many others," he adds.
Taking it all in
The economy might be on a road to recovery, but not necessarily at the speed we all would like. The number of companies planning to spend on materials handling solutions is increasing, but after being in "survival mode" for so long, budgets are still small and companies are moving slowly and being cautious.
Despite these cautionary tales, however, the future is certainly looking brighter than it was just 12 months ago. "But I wouldn't call it exuberant…not just yet," adds Derewecki.

Join Group Editorial Director Michael Levans, Executive Editor Bob Trebilcock, and materials handling equipment consultant Don Derewecki as they go deeper into the data gleaned form the 2011 survey results while tracking changes in the material handling market over the past year.
Taking the temperature of the market
While the hard data builds the foundation of this annual report, reading open-ended responses often helps to fine tune the overarching temperature of a market. Here's a small sampling from the 2011 State of Warehouse/DC Equipment and Technology Survey
Open-ended question: In what (if any) areas are you currently investing? If you are holding off on investing, what specifically are you holding off on?
"Investing in only what is immediately needed…"
"We are investing more in machinery to make our production run more efficiently and are avoiding unnecessary spending on office equipments, cellphones, and other nonurgent supplies…"
"Heavily on manufacturing and holding off on distribution until our growth subsides…"
"We are holding off on buying new equipment and are upgrading our current equipment…"
"Adding an additional building to our distribution network, purchasing additional fork lifts…"
"We are moving forward with a new warehouse management system…"
"We're spending as the need arises, with a more cautious approach regarding actual ROI…"
"We invest in anything that saves money. ROI is immediate with a savings. Anything that has ROI of more than one year we have put off unless it's necessary to do business…"
"We're investing in order picking and storage automation…"
"Not holding off on anything specific, we're just being judicious…"
"Maximizing the productivity of the remaining workforce…capacity expansions might come later…"
"Investing in efforts to meet homeland security requirements including some materials movement equipment, some containers…"
"We have reduced every form of investment…Inventory, fleet, materials handling equipment, associates, payroll, and benefits…"
"Holding off on high capital expenditures if ROI is not less than two years…"
"We are holding off on all investments unless absolutely necessary…"
"Investing in racking, holding off on lift trucks…"
"Just completed installation of mezzanines and carousels…"

If you have decided to build a detached garage in your backyard, beside your home or on another piece of property, it is necessary to understand, this is not a simple project. Unless you have all the specific skills required for the building project, you will probably need to hire an experienced builder, contractor or a variety of professionals skilled in the various building trades. Below is a list of the skilled professionals you may need to hire to build your new detached garage.
· Excavator
· Concrete contractor
· Carpenter
· Roofer
· Electrician

colombia, the only risk is wanting to stay (?)
To understand the title, I guess you need to see the photo. Then again I still don't understand it. I have another 300 pictures to go with that one coming soon. We have some amazing micro-lot Colombias coming soon, as well as Panama Carmen Estate 1800 meter later this week (great cup, again, and no.2 at Panama competition, again). I know, I know, everyone is wondering where the Costa Rica micro-lots are. We are going to have our first arrivals later this week! Remember, these are true mid-harvest coffees. You can buy Centrals in February and they are low-grown, or in March you can buy the very first pickings from higher altitude. But patience pays off in coffee.

I asking for advice on how to check strength of an encryption algorithm.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There are still a lot of unknowns surrounding your question, so I will do my best to answer and fill in the holes as necessary.
One big question that remains is whether you are using already well established cryptographic building blocks (AES, SHA-2, RSA, etc) or whether you have invented some new building block (as CodesInChaos put it "AES is for wusses, use Samuel's super secure cipher"). I'll attempt both.
For the first, the most common way to go about this is through modeling. You model your protocol or setup in some way as to simplify the analysis so that certain properties can be proved. For an example of how this is done, see this paper which proves security for SSH. I'll give you this warning though, modeling necessarily simplifies things and can abstract away flaws. In which case the flaws won't be discovered in the process. This is evidenced by this paper which shows a flaw in SSH that had been abstracted away in the previous analysis. There are also tools to help automate this process as described in this other question.
Instead, assuming the second option above, the best way to begin analyzing Samuel's super secure cipher is to write up an academic-level research paper and publish it in a top journal or conference. See IACR for some pointers. Once all the details are published, the research community will hopefully get involved. The reason for this is Schneier's Law: "Anyone, from the most clueless amateur to the best cryptographer, can create an algorithm that he himself can't break."
So, assuming this is for educational purposes, go ahead and design your own, try to publish it if it is something novel or at the very least run some of those analysis/modeling tools on it. But never, never fall to the urge to use the thing.
The first step is to write a new question on crypto.stackexchange.com asking for advice on how to check whether if it is secured enough (or not).
The second step is to stop, throw away everything you've done and become an expert in GPG and then port GPG to your platform.
The rationale for being so discouraging is that if you have to ask how to check whether it's secured enough you obviously don't know nearly enough to even start writing an app that encrypts text securely. Many people who would have a very good idea about how to check the security would balk at the task of writing something like GPG themselves.
As many have said, the short answer is probably "no". Not because you asked the question in a wrong way but because the fact that you ask this question implies that you don't know what sort of attacks your application would have to be resilient against. Thus, there is very little hope that you managed to achieve your goal.
Possible attacks your application would have to be able to withstand are linear attacks, differential attacks (and their parents)... And I'm only talking about attacks on the idealised algorithm, not its actual implementation! Then you need to watch out for attackers trying to access memory cells they are not supposed to and other side-channel attacks.
The bottom line is: it is extremely complicated. Even if you use a known algorithm (like the AES), it is very easy to mess up the implementation. That's why you should always use standard libraries which encapsulate all the solutions to these problems or, even better, complete programs (opengpg, openssl...) written by teams of (very) knowledgeable people.

A look at this week's top recalls you need to know about to keep your family safe.
Toyota is recalling nearly 780,000 crossovers and hybrid sedans, including some RAV4 models, to fix a suspension defect that could cause a crash.
After more than $2 million in damage from fires and burns, a company is recalling 12 brands of its dehumidifiers.
Build-A-Bear recalls stuffed animals, after the eyes detach and pose a choking hazard.
"Count my Kisses, 1, 2, 3" is among the children's books being recalled due to a metal bar that can expose a sharp edge and potentially cut the reader.
Air pistols that could potentially explode at high temperatures are being recalled.
Faulty wire socket insulation is being blamed for the recall of ceiling mounted light fixtures that pose a threat of electrical shock.
This science toy could be mistaken by a child for candy, and if ingested, could expand inside the child's body. The toys do not show up on an X-ray and would need to be removed by surgery.
For more information on these or other recalls, visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Born Nina Constantinova Dobreva on Jan. 9, 1989 in Sofia, Bulgaria, she was one of two children born to Michaela, an artist, and Konstantin, a computer expert. At age two, Dobrev, her brother Alexander and her parents relocated to Toronto, Canada, where the young girl became involved in singing, dancing and gymnastics at an early age. Modeling and acting soon followed, with the youngster's fluency in English, French and Bulgarian being of added benefit. Upon graduating from Toronto's JB Tyrrell Sr. Public School, Dobrev went on to study performance at the Dean Armstrong Acting School and the Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts.

(ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE) -- A new survey says 61 percent of U.S. adults feel the effects of daylight savings time the Monday after resetting their clocks -- and 11 percent feel the effects more than a week later.
Daylight savings time starts Sunday at 2 a.m.
In the survey conducted by the Better Sleep Council, 74 percent of workers over age 30 said not getting enough sleep affects their work. Nine percent said the lack of sleep means they are likely to fall asleep when in a meeting -- or even when driving. Four percent admitted to getting into traffic accidents due to lack of sleep.
And is some co-workers seem unusually cranky on Monday, note that 30 percent of people surveyed said the time change affects their mood. Four percent of people said they are "much less pleasant" to be around, while 5 percent said "the Incredible Hulk has nothing on them."
And unfortunately, the effects could last for days, the survey says.
Twenty-nine percent of people surveyed said it takes them a full week to get back to normal -- and 11 percent said it could take more than a week.
The Sleep Council, a nonprofit supported by the mattress industry, said the survey was conducted in first quarter 2013 with a statistically representative sample of U.S. adults.

I noticed the sender and receiver are blank if the view is Conversation and Bubbles are enabled. Might be an enumerator bug since the list is represented for the entire conversation, and may vary from message to message. In Message view the list is static.
They are visible if you double-click and open the conversation in a new window, however.
Obvious workarounds are disable Bubbles, or the Conversation view.

I am testing sender restrictions to distribution lists (ZCS 8.0.2 on RHEL 6.3). I have enabled the milter service for my mail server. The restrictions seem to work only when I restart the milter service. Eg: if I create a list and modify its properties by checking "Only members can send to this list" in the admin interface, non members can still post to the list (tested from the webmail or thunderbird client). If I restart the milter service, the mail is rejected as expected. Is it the expected behavior? Is there a cron which updates the milter configuration?
Thanks in advance,


text: While scouting for elk this month. I found an alfalfa field with public land right next to it. One day there was over 200 head of elk in that field. I hiked into this area and found out that there were a good amount of cattle on public land. I did not see a lot of elk sign in the area. I have not had any luck hunting or finding elk any on public with cattle, private seems to be almost the complete opposite. What is your hunting experience with cattle on public land? Do elk avoid water the cattle heavily use?

About Me
- I'm a Ph.D. student in Architecture at Georgia Tech, specializing in the area, ACB (Architecture, Culture, and Behavior). I got my Bachelor's degree in architectural engineering and had some time for practice back in Korea and came here at Tech for the professional degree in Architecture. Currently I'm very intersted in the role of physical environment such as addressing the needs of care model & process and then, involving in enhancing process and quality of care.
- I'm also a mother of 16 months old boy! He is a very healthy and happy boy! I can't imagine being in a hospital with him... Just imagining that is quite terrifying... It would be out of imagination being actually in a hospital with the little one... I hope I can really understand their (families and children) feelings and needs and can reflect those into the design of the pediatric health center.

Research Search related to handwashing
McGuckin_2006The effect of random voice hand hygiene messeages delivered by medical, nursing, and infection control staff on hand hygiene compliance in intensive care
- They found that using random voice message increased handwashing compliance.
- Twelve voice messages on Handwashing compliance facts, "hand hygiene should occur before and after patient contac," and so on were installed to deliver prompts to 2 amplified external speakers.
- They measured product usage (soap and sanitizer)and bed-days. During the 6-week baseline period, 18,000 ml soap and 9940 ml sanitizer were used versus 21,000 ml soap and 15,496 ml sanitizer during the intervention.

This just reminded me - my dad brought home some LRPRs (called "lerps"), they're long-range patrol rations, freexe-dried military rations for the special ops guys. This was back in the '80s.
I had beef hash, that was actually awesome. It was just like corned beef hash, but made with regular beef instead. I haven't found anything like it, freeze-dried or otherwise, since then.
