Skip to comments.Investigators have 'growing evidence' that Boston bombers 'slit throats of three men ...
Posted on 05/11/2013 5:30:06 AM PDT by Uncle Chip
Investigators have gathered 'mounting evidence' that suggest the Boston bomber brothers could have been involved in a grisly unsolved triple murder in 2011, it has emerged.
Officials told ABC News that forensic evidence could tie Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to the killings of Brendan Mess, Raphael Teken and Erik Weissman, who were found with their throats slit and marijuana dumped over their dead bodies in a Waltham, Massachusetts house.
The Tsarnaevs knew the men as Tamerlan trained in boxing and martial arts with Brendan Mass.
However, officials said more DNA testing is required before bringing an indictment against the surviving brother, Dzhokhar, who is recovering from a self-inflicted gun wound in a prison infirmary.
Following the April 15 bombings and the suspected involvement of the Tsarnaev brothers, investigators began to look into the link between Tamerlan and Mess.
Authorities have now told ABC that forensic evidence from the crime scene in 2011 matches the Tsarnaev brothers. Their cell phones were also in the area at the time of the killings, records show.

Mission accomplished for Deval Patrick,
SOS Kerry, and Obama-the-UndocumentedMoslemTyrant.
The coverup will, do doubt, go to higher gear.
The triple homicide was committed in Waltham, Massachusetts, on the evening of September 11, 2011.
But, no sign of terrorism or Islamic extremism, even though the victims were Jewish, per some reports.
I think if I were the Boston police department...I'd hire a smart kid to trace the cellphone trail for the boys over the past four years, and identify any murders within the time span of each movement. I suspect there's more. They stayed busy, and probably doped up on something.
Mayor El Stupido first got on the national map for his brave principled stance against Chick Fil-A. /s
That was merely silly. Abetting a terrorists' mosque is another matter entirely. When everything becomes known about the Chechen murder of three Jews on 9-11-11, it should be SHTF time in Beantown.
slitting the throats of infidels.. yep, sounds like them!
And I remember reading in one of the threads (right after the Boston Marathon bombing) strange reaction from Tamerlan for the 2011 killing.
Gee - throat-slitting/ jihadists? Who wudda' thunk it?
who were found with their throats slit
Well!....Gee!...The obvious solution is to ban knives, pressure cookers, and any item that formed the debris in the shrapnel. **THAT** should fix this! (sarcasm with eye roll!)
Muslim males are expected to "kill an infidel" and the Koran emphasizes "kill a Jew".
Just Muslims being Muslim. Nothing new - more along. Best move along to the nearest gun store, as Islam is not joking about all must submit to Islam, be enslaved, or be killed.
Honor the threat of Islam. They are serious about the "convert, enslave, or kill" bit.
1,400 years of such behavior should be sufficient to demonstrate a prevailing pattern of behavior.
I say guilty based on the manner of death and the weed thrown over the bodies—
If he had a bigger knife I think he would have beheaded them...
Boston Bombing Ping!
Soon NBC will have a new drama show "PC Cops.... See the new correct attitude of cops in action as they investigate vile crimes. The techniques and conclusions will astonish....."
The tenth anniversary of 9-11.
Surely just a coincidence.
"Tax Day"
I'd look at what they were doing on 9-11 and EVERY anniversary thereafter. "Creatures of habit".
Some of our politically correct newspapers put the date at September 12th, the next day, when the bodies were discovered. -tom
Note to self: If committing a crime, leave cell phone at home. If SHTF, power off, remove battery, and bury in a lead-lined box.
I know of the GPS capabilities of the new cell phones, but am amazed that their being tracked and recorded for future reference...
The Mob did it, of course./s
or the eggplant lasagna
I think if I were the Boston police department.....
I would be trying to explain why this kid was not looked at far more seriously for the unsolved triple murder. I find the entire story very strange - throats slit (unusual - crime of anger), nothing taken (no robbery - it was personal - most normal suspects take the cash and drugs), and he did not attend funeral (allegedly) for a close friend (big red flag).
It is difficult to say "woulda, shoulda, and coulda" about the FBI and not point the same criticism towards Boston homicide investigators. It does not appear that the brother was ever considered as a suspect despite the connections, strange behavior, and failure to attend the funeral for the main victim (it was his apartment wasn't it?).
3 men murdered like this is not a case that should be dropped. Basic homicide investigation 101 would dictate that friends of each of them would have been questioned at length and there have been a few interviewed who were never spoken too. If true, that one kid who knew them both who said he thought it was strange that Jihad Johnny did not attend the funeral or appear concerned would have raised red flags with me - especially if I found out Johnny killed in the preferred method of his religion.
Conjecture, speculation, and Monday-morning QB disease. I hate it and hate when I do it, but the facts we know afterwards really bother me in light of what I wrote above.
I think your points are well made and not really a Monday morning quarterback per say. They had info on these guys, yet they slipped through the cracks to achieve the Boston massacre. How easy was it for them to get overlooked with the 3 slit throats. I find it disgusting and am thankful I no longer live in the Boston area, I would NOT feel safe, at all.
Something ugly is unfolding and I doubt this is the end of what is to be discovered. Makes me shiver to think of it all.
No doubt the Tsarnaev brothers were terrorists in their motivations and methods with the Boston Marathon bombings but they increasingly are also sounding like good old-fashioned pyschopaths, too.
Any evidence against the terrorist brothers now would have been available then as well. Shame on Boston homicide for not doing their jobs or maybe they are trying to "solve" the triple murders by putting it on a dead guy.
Mayor Menino was never as stupid as when he tried to drive Chick-fil-A from Boston last year.
Yeah-——the stupid little creep.
Taxpayers AND BOMBING VICTIMS must demand Menino's govt records and bank accounts be rigorously scrutinized.
The time is now to nail this creep. There was a lot of hanky panky going on.
The dam is going to break and when it does it will be so big I think even we'll be surprised.
"Mayor Menino was never as stupid as when he tried to drive Chick-fil-A from Boston last year."
It was a typical grandstand move by the idiot.
I live in the area and as far as I know there are NO
Chick-fil-As in Boston. I had never even heard of the chain.
"Note to self: If committing a crime, leave cell phone at home. If SHTF, power off, remove battery, and bury in a lead-lined box.
I know of the GPS capabilities of the new cell phones, but am amazed that their being tracked and recorded for future reference..."
It was long before GPS appeared on mobile devices. Call it a GSM capabilities. As you are moving your phone hooks to a different cell stations and there are logs.
You can easily learn one's whereabouts on any given moment until these logs deleted.

Question: I always store my potatoes in the pantry, but a relative says they'll keep fresher in the refrigerator. Is that true?
Answer: The refrigerator is not the best place for your potatoes.
As the United States Potato Board notes, refrigeration can cause potatoes to darken during cooking and to develop an unpleasantly sweet taste. The reason is that the chilly environment of the fridge helps to convert the potato's starch to sugar.
If you store your potatoes in the pantry, on the other hand, you won't have that problem. At normal room temperatures, they'll keep for about one to two weeks, as noted here.
Better yet, if you can find a storage area with a temperature of about 45° to 55° F, your spuds should last up to three months.

Many unhappy with gun-control law
The toughest-in-the-nation gun-control bill signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo was applauded by some local Democrats, but many more people in conservative-leaning Fulton County expressed outrage about the law.
Fulton County Sheriff Thomas Lorey said he doesn't see the need for more gun control.
"I am appalled," Lorey said. "The Legislature has back-doored the American people and walked all over the Constitution of the United States."
Lorey said the state should enforce existing laws instead of adding more gun-registration rules, which will put an additional burden on law enforcement.
"The provision that is going to require people to renew their pistol permit every five years, as far as I'm concerned, that is only a money-grabbing thing to allow the state to get more money," Lorey said.
He said the charge to get a pistol permit is about $200, and the county will receive only about $10 of that, while the rest will go to the state. He said the cost of the county's permit-administration work will far exceed the money provided to the county.
"The work that goes into it is quite significant, and $10 is not nearly enough," Lorey said. "We have to do background checks, fingerprinting and so forth. The state is taking money away and forcing another unfunded mandate on the people."
Lorey said he supports the safe storage of guns. The new law makes the unsafe storage of firearms a misdemeanor and requires owners to report the theft of their guns within 24 hours.
"Some parts of the [law regarding] gun storage are probably good because it is common sense to keep your guns and trigger mechanism locked so it doesn't get in the wrong hands," Lorey said.
He said he supports harsher punishment for gun offenses and injuring first responders.
However, he said, the additional gun-registration rules in the law will be problematic.
"The registration of one type of weapon is only going to lead to the registration of all types of weapons," Lorey said. "It's just another way for the government to grab your money and know what you have."
He said he has concerns about the law's new limit on magazine capacity, which bans clips holding more than seven bullets. The national standard maximum clip size is 10 rounds.
"If you bought a pistol last week that holds 10 rounds, they are automatically making you a criminal with the passage of this law," Lorey said.
Lorey said he expects many gun owners will hang on to these 10-round magazines and take the chance, but he warned they will face charges if they are found in their possession.
At Frank's Gun & Tackle Shop in Mayfield on Tuesday, several customers, who declined to give their names, said the firearms they were picking up had 10-round magazines – magazines that are illegal as of today.
The store was full of customers seeking to purchase guns and ammo Tuesday, before the law went into effect. Store owner John Havlick said he had more than 80 customers come into the store by midafternoon looking to buy guns. Many customers Tuesday said they worried the new law infringes on their Second Amendment rights. They noted many pistols come from the factory with a stock magazine larger than seven rounds.
"This law is an obstruction that will only harass the average gun owners," customer Dave DeMarco said. "This will not prevent crime at all."
Another customer, Josh Mendetta of Gloversville, said he was picking up two handguns that he recently purchased.
"How is it that state law supersedes federal law?" he asked. "We are having our rights infringed upon right now. Next they are coming after semiautomatics – you know it is coming."
Gloversville Police Chief Donald VanDeusen said he thinks harsher for punishment for gun offenders was necessary, but he also expressed concerns about lower magazine-capacity limits.
"I think the provision set forth to protect the first responders is great," VanDeusen said. "I also think the provision allowing therapists to report patients that have made threats is good, and I have no issues with that."
However, he said he has concerns with the requirement that owners must register firearms every five years.
"I don't know how, financially, you are going to be able to carry that out or logistically carry that out," VanDeusen said. "It is going to be really difficult to carry out some of these provisions."
He said the seven-round clip limit crosses the line because most law-abiding citizens who own handguns will now be accused of breaking the law.
Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, D-Rotterdam, voted in favor of the law Tuesday. The assemblyman, whose district includes Montgomery County, said the law is meant to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and those who should not possess them.
"These are common-sense measures that can help keep our children and families safe," Santabarbara said in a news release. "This is a balanced approach to combating gun violence while respecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners."
Gloversville 1st Ward Councilwoman Robin Wentworth, also a Democrat, said she supported some gun restrictions but had concerns with the law that was rushed through the Legislature.
"I believe something needed to be put on the table for discussion regarding reasonable restrictions of the Second Amendment," Wentworth said. "I would have liked to have seen more meaningful and open discussion of the issue and do not completely support the speed at which this took place. Although there has been a lot of blame placed only upon the governor, we need to remember that this legislation was voted on and passed by a majority of legislators, not by one person."
Wentworth said her "biggest frustration locally over the past 24 hours is the misrepresentation by a local leader about what is actually in this legislation," apparently referring to Republican Mayor Dayton King's public statement Tuesday. The mayor objected to the new law and said Gloversville police officers "will not be coming to your door demanding your guns … According to this new bill, that's what the governor will expect."
Wentworth challenged that statement: "This is an absolute misrepresentation of what is in the legislation, and in my opinion, it is irresponsible, as that is not stated in the legislation," Wentworth said.

Jamboree helps in many ways
March 20, 2006
The Floyd Lions Club's 56th annual Country Jamboree this week features more than 40 musicians and performers.
Proceeds from the $5 per person admission will go back into the Floyd community and beyond as Lions Club members have various charitable projects in the works.
Dave Nash, a Lions Club member for the past five years, has come up with a project that will give three students from the area a musical instrument. Money from the jamboree proceeds will purchase a guitar, a fiddle and a mandolin. Winners of an essay contest will win the instrument of their choice.
"That's part of my mission on Earth," Nash said. "I want to get music into people's lives."
More than five decades ago, the Lions Club started the jamboree to raise funds to purchase uniforms for the Floyd High School basketball team. The number of charitable causes has increased over the years.
"We help different people in the community who are sick and need help with their doctor bills," Nash said. "We have bought eyeglasses and eye exams for children who can't afford them. We helped a family last year who got burned out of their home. We were able to give them some money."
Lions Club member Noel Ripee said the club used some jamboree proceeds to fund a trip last year to New York for two Floyd High School cheerleaders. The cheerleaders participated in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade.
"Now the cheerleaders show up at each of our monthly meetings with a freshly baked cake to go along with our dinner," Ripee said. "It's all volunteer work that we do. We do it to help the community. We do things like pay the community building's water bill. I've been into music all my life and I like how the music (from the jamboree) is raising money to help people."
Ripee said he's proud that the club also gives scholarships to a few high school students each year.
"I like that we help families that have a lot of sickness and I was really happy we were able to help the family that had their house burn down in the fire," he said.
Nash said the country jamboree is the club's only annual fund-raiser. Membership dues are $10 a month and anyone can join.
"All they have to do is walk into our meeting and sign up," Nash said. "We have a steak dinner once a month and the $10 membership fee couldn't buy a steak dinner like we get."
The club's secretary, Fred Patterson, said the club takes in about $5,000 to $6,000 in proceeds from the jamboree after expenses.
"Last year we gave out three $1,000 scholarships, and something like the family's house burning down usually happens once a year," Patterson said. "We have money that we have accumulated over the years from the jamboree but usually each year we give out just about what we make from the jamboree."

Well I generally make 12" pizzas. I thought I read here somewhere that a 16" recipe will make 2 12" skins. Is that correct?
Close but not quite. The surface area of a 16in pizza is 200.96in. and the surface area of a 12in is 113.04in. So two 12in pizzas would be 226.08, a slight difference but noticeable.
Do you put a lid on your container Pete? Like an airtight lid? or just a lid to cover but air can force its way out? Also, what type of metal is better than another? aluminum better than steel? Im sure I can find some empty cans, just want to know what to look for.
Peter, now that I look at your pics again, is that cornmeal you are using on the dough ball?
Well Ive got flour and white cornmeal, is the white cornmeal the right kind for this?And is it 50 - 50 on the mix?
Mix flour sugar and salt. Put yeast and half the flour mixture in the mixer. Mix the honey and oil into the very warm water. Pour mixture into bowl and place mixer using dough hook on stir for about 2 minutes. Stop mixer. Add the rest of the flour, then set mixer to stir until the dough pulls from the sides of the bowl then stop mixer for 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes, go to speed 2 for 12 minutes. On a lightly floured surface shape into a ball. Place in the refrigerator in a lightly sealed container coated with olive oil overnight or up to three days.Remove 3 hours before panningRemove from the fridge and flatten then fold, then shape into a ball using wet hands.When I followed Randy's instructions, I used a shorter knead time because of the smaller amount of dough I was making. Also, I didn't flatten and fold the dough after it came out of the refrigerator. I just flattened the dough, covered it loosely with a piece of plastic wrap, and let it set at room temperature for about 2 hours or so. I worked the dough into a skin in a mixture of flour, cornmeal and semolina, as Randy has recommended elsewhere to create a marbling kind of effect. Peter

I read a few - and see a lot - of recipes on ye olde tinterweb.
Cooking is something I enjoy, however, washing up is something I endure.
Add to that I am often cooking for just two, one of which has a tendency to turn his squidgy little nose up at things that do not resemble something he has consumed previously.
That is not to say, or type, that we do not try new things, but I tend to only stretch my culinary skills when we have more numbers to share those delights with.
However back to blog point, and post.
I thought I would add to the masses, and add my own ingenious instructions of how to bake.
So here is baking fairy cakes, the lazy way;
- One child, or I have actually been known to entertain two with this process. But I think if your adult to child ratio exceeds 1:2 the Health and Safety Executive requires you to apply for a permit.
- One overpriced box, containing sachets of flour, icing sugar, fairy cake cases, and – for optimum effect – décor embossed with someone, or something, so important that they require a royalty.
- Extra icing sugar, for when you realise the above ensemble has too little in, or that you do not have an encyclopedic type knowledge of spoon sizes and as such your initial icing efforts are a tad runny.
- One egg, and one measuring jug of water to check the freshness of such egg. If it sinks, it's safe.
- Two mixing bowls, or the will to wash the first one as soon as it has been used to mix the cake mixture and egg together.
- Aprons, matching if preferred.
- Whisk, electric - if saving time in the mixing process is your bag.
- An oven (pre-heated to several degrees wotsit)
- A baking tray.
- Oven gloves (marginally more important than everything else on this list).
- Cooling tray, or something that can perform the same function as a cooling tray. I.E. Something that items will cool down on I.E. Any flat surface.
- The will to repeat the words 'careful', 'stop licking that' and 'no they are not ready yet', a lot.
- A cleaner, or at least double as much time on your hands that you have used to actually make these lovely things.
- And one person who looks like it takes every inch of his concentration to stop dribbling (see picture).
Executive Summary of easy cake making protocol
Full instructions will be available on the one size fits all box, so I will just summarise.
- Get all the ingredients into the bowl – keeping child, or children, out of the bowl.
- Spoon produce or arduous stirring/whisking unequally into the cases, this will ensure plenty of love filled arguments over who gets to eat the bigger cakes.
- Cook. Checking every time you hear the words 'are they ready yet' if only to steal yourself a few seconds of distraction, delaying the next time you will hear them.
- Mix icing – badly – while items cook/cool, remember items should be cooled on a specialist cooling device.
- Allow children to decorate cakes as they see fit, and question, at the end, if they can see at all.
- Finally, do not expect any yourself, unless you count 'any' as strays with the icing licked off, only disregarded once the children are full.
So basically, it could not be easier, and certainly any less fulfilling, if not actually filling - for the adults.
I owe a lot of this 'skill' to my home economics teaching mother, who, as you may have worked out, obviously threw me out of her classes for swearing and generally being a nuisance.
Thank you, and I am sure Green's Cakes would also like to say the same.

"What a tremendous way to end this great home event," said John Farra, high performance director, U.S. Paralympics Nordic skiing. "Six races in seven days, everyone is beat, but these two saved just enough to get on the podium together and fire up the rest of the team as we prepare for World Championships in Solleftea, Sweden."

Hello, I just installed a M1 Pickup into my Weissenborn. The overal sound is pretty good but even with the volume full on 10 on the pickup I cannot get a decent volume. Is this because of the poles are too low to capture the high string action?

Stressed? Depressed? Scattered? Here�s the type of meditation that can help.
Think meditation isn�t for you? That�s probably because the type of meditation you tend to see in TV and the movies is only one way to do it. �We all have this expectation of meditation�that it�s yogic, you put your hands in special positions and say �Om��and that�s scary for some people,� says davidji, lead educator for Deepak Chopra�s Chopra Center of Well-Being and author of Secrets of Meditation: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace and Personal Transformation. But in fact that�s just one type of meditation, and there are many other, simpler ways to make the practice work for you. That�s a worthwhile pursuit, since meditation can reduce stress, ease pain and even improve your sex life! Read on to find out what type of meditation is right for you. RELATED: Meditation for Real Life If you�re: Busy and/or stressed. First of all, that�s no excuse��Oprah finds time to meditate!� davidji says. But if you�re pressed for time, try his technique called �16 Seconds to Bliss�: Breathe in for 4 counts, hold it for 4 counts, breathe out for 4 counts, hold that for 4 counts. Do that 4 times a day�maybe while you�re waiting at a stoplight or in line at the grocery store�and you�ve meditated for 1 minute; 16 times and you�ve meditated for almost 5 minutes. Make a habit of grabbing those 16 seconds whenever you can, and before you know it, you�ve established a type of meditation practice. Breath exercises are especially good for lowering blood pressure. Easily distracted. You might be interested in a visualization type of meditation, which can help improve your focus and concentration. (It also can be a little challenging for some beginners, so don�t be discouraged�just keep at it!) A popular visualization exercise is to stare at the flame of a candle, and try to pull all your attention inward to focus on that fixed point. You can also do this exercise with a partner by staring into each other�s eyes. �Meditation doesn�t have to be you sitting in silence in the dark,� davidji says. Depressed. Need a mental pep talk? A type of meditation called mantra meditation could help. �What I like to do is close my eyes about three-quarters of the way, look out at something that�s not moving, and repeat something like, �I am safe. I am strong. I am whole,� davidji says. Choose an affirmation that is meaningful to you, and repeat it gently, without trying to force the thought on yourself, he notes. After about a minute, you should feel a small shift in your mood. Anxious. If fear or an overwhelming situation (even a positive one, like a big presentation at work) is keeping your thoughts tied up, the right type of meditation for you might be one that�s guided by a professional, either in person or on a recording. A guided meditation takes your mind through an event that causes fear or anxiety beforehand, and helps you practice how to relax and take mental control of the situation. People have used guided meditation to overcome fear of flying, or prepare mentally for an athletic event or other anxiety-inducing situation. You can find guided meditations on many topics free online. (davidji has recorded several for the Chopra Center.) An emotional eater. Any type of meditation can help you learn to live in the moment, but sensory meditation�an exercise based on one of the five senses�is especially good for developing mindfulness. �One of my favorites is a chocolate tasting meditation,� says davidji. �Take a bite of a really sweet truffle, and allow that to melt in your mouth.� The next time you�re upset and feel the urge to indulge in a treat, go ahead, but take the time to really experience the taste and texture. Practicing this exercise can help you eat more mindfully, which will slow you down and make you less inclined to stress-binge without truly enjoying your food. Religious. Sometimes people avoid meditation because they associate it with a religious practice different from their own. But it�s easy to choose a type of meditation that has no spiritual connotation�such as any of the exercises already discussed. And consider the possibility that engaging in any type of meditation on a regular basis could actually strengthen your faith. �If prayer is talking to God, then meditation is listening,� says davidji. �It never gets in the way of your transmission with your Creator. What it does is quiet all the noise that is racing around your head.� Brought to you by: Spry Living

Arizona's ace Kenzie Fowler named USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America announced today that the University of Arizona's Kenzie Fowler (Tucson, Ariz.) was named the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week for the Week of March 28-April 3. From the circle, Fowler led the then-No. 7 Wildcats to a three-game sweep over then-No. 12 Stanford with two wins and a save.
"I'm honored to be named the USA Softball Player of the Week," said Fowler. "Our team had a great week and I was happy to be a part of that success."
The sophomore appeared in all three games without giving up a run. She tossed two complete-game shutouts while entering to save the third. Fowler allowed just four hits on the weekend while pitching 15.1 of the 18 innings played. The Tucson native held the No. 12 Cardinal to a batting average of .085 in the three games.
For the save, she pitched 3.1 innings of one-hit ball, striking out three for her first save of the season. Her Sunday shutout of Stanford was her best outing of the year as she limited the Cardinal to two hits over seven innings while striking out 10. The two hits allowed were the fewest in a seven-inning complete game of the season for Fowler.
Fowler struck out 17 batters on the weekend while walking just seven. Fowler, who has not allowed an earned run since March 18 against Michigan, notched wins number 19 and 20 on the year while earning her first save of the season.
With the wins, Arizona (32-6, 3-0 Pac-10) improved to No. 5 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll, also released earlier today by ASA.
This award marks the first time this season and the second time in her career that Fowler has been selected as USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Week. In her freshman season, she was honored during the week of April 12-18, 2010. She was also a Top 10 Finalist for the 2010 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award.

UST Mamiya® PROFORCE® VTS™ shafts used by the winner of the AT&T National
UST Mamiya, maker of the world's finest carbon fiber golf shafts, reports the winner of the AT&T National relied on UST PROFORCE VTS shaft in his Titleist® 913H 17° Hybrid (PROFORCE VTS Silver 100X) to earn his first victory of the year and fifth of his career.
"UST Mamiya wants to congratulate the winner of the AT&T National," said Robb Schikner, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "This is the fourth win this year for the UST PROFORCE VTS on the PGA Tour and more and more players are seeing the benefits of our shafts on all tours."
PROFORCE VTS shafts were developed almost entirely through research and player feedback. UST Mamiya spent years researching the significant influence that torque has on distance, control and feel. The feedback revealed how players could control dispersion based on adjusting torque to their swing style. Perhaps more importantly, the research confirmed that the relationship that "feel" has to torque is infinitely more complex. Players who thought shafts were stiff or soft were not necessarily feeling the flex or weight, but were actually feeling torque. And when players are matched to the proper torque shaft, ball speed increases of up to 6 mph with dispersion reduced up to 30%!
All UST Mamiya carbon-fiber shafts are made using handcrafted, repeatable production techniques that incorporate world-class engineering and premium-selected raw materials. This combines with tight tolerances, constant taper design and low-resin content to enhance feel during the golf swing.

NormaI take it that instant yeast is the yeast of choice for home pizza makers. But, as far as I know, NONE of the top pizzerias in Ct used anything but cake yeast. Im sure some do, but I don't know of any. Why all the instant yeast fans??Thanks.Also....would a preferment REALLY be neccesary if you have a three day cold fermantation process??Thanks again.
Shelf life. IDY will keep in fridge almost idefinitely in an air tight glass container, cake yeast is about 1-2 weeks I think.Jon
Well Norma....I LIKE the idea of a preferment....at least all the books I've read it helps in taste and appearance....BUT, in practice, in a busy restaurant, its an extra step, a step that could very easily be screwed up and skipped entirely by employees.....so Im hesitant. In the other case....a long 3 day cold ferm, we mix, portion, roll and refer. Its simple and effective. Now, Im always trying to improve, but sometimes I look at something and think "can I do this"....when in fact I should be thinking "is this something I trust EMPLOYEES doing"..........and Im sad to admit that if you give them ANYTHING with the least bit of difficulty (creating a preferment, aging it properly) they will, eventually, try to find shortcuts....to the detriment of your product.I'd LOVE to go natural starter.....but I might as well put a bullet to my head. My operation is simply too big. A long cold ferment is the best call..................I THINK.By the way, your pizzas look fantastic, love the crumb.ANd you know a _____load about pizza.Thank you for the response.
I have some cake yeast that I have had for over a month that looks & smells the same as day 1. What I do is wrap it tightly in plastic wrap & then place it in a food saver container & vacuum seal it using the canister tube on my food saver.Matt
Norma, from what I can tell the Hobart (on speed 1) is doing about 80 revolutions per minute. It looks like the Kitchen Aid is also doing 80 revolutions per minute. Was the Kitchen Aid on speed 2 of 10?Thanks for including the videos of mixing. What intrigued me is the dough taking on a "pillowy" look when completed, which from your video is about 7 minutes, 1 minute pre-oil and 6 minutes post-oil. Are you able to acheive this same look and feel when using the Kitchen Aid?Danes Dad

Unamuno, Miguel de
Miguel de Unamuno 1864-1936
Spanish poet, essayist, novelist, philosopher, playwright, and journalist.
The following entry provides criticism on Unamuno's works from 1934 through 2003. See also Saint Emmanuel the Good Criticism.
An important figure in the Spanish cultural movement known as the Generation of 1898, Unamuno was an innovator of genre and style who does not fit easily into any literary category. Although he considered himself first and foremost to be a poet, during his lifetime he was best known for his essays on religion, metaphysics, politics, and Spanish culture. Today, Unamuno is remembered primarily for his fiction, which is valued for its idiosyncratic forms and poetic use of language to express psychological states and emotional conflicts. An early existentialist and modernist, Unamuno explored the tensions between reason and faith, religion and freedom of thought, and the tragedy of death, for which reason offers no consolation. Writing in The New York Times Book Review, Arthur A. Cohen praised Unamuno as "the greatest stylist in the Spanish language since Cervantes." Unamuno's existential, experimental writings have strongly influenced twentieth-century literature, including writers as diverse as Federico García Lorca, Juan Ramón-Jiminéz, Henry Miller, and Graham Greene.
Biographical Information
Born on September 29, 1864, in the Basque city of Bilbao, Unamuno was the third of six children born to Félix de Unamuno, a baker, and Salomé Jugo. His father died when Unamuno was six, and Unamuno was raised by his mother and uncle in a devout Catholic household. As a child, Unamuno witnessed violence between traditional and progressive Basques during the Carlist siege of Bilbao. From 1880 to 1884, Unamuno studied philosophy and letters at the University of Madrid, writing a doctoral thesis on the origins of the Basque people and language. In 1884 Unamuno returned to Bilbao where he founded the socialist journal La Lucha de Clases. In 1891, newly married to Concepción (Concha) Lizárraga Encénnarro, he secured a professorship at the University of Salamanca, where he had both a successful academic life and ten children. In 1897, his third child contracted meningitis and died. This death triggered a spiritual crisis for Unamuno, who, unable to find comfort in either his intellectual convictions or Catholicism, gradually abandoned socialism because it did not address what he felt was the greatest human problem, death. In addition to writing, Unamuno played an important role in intellectual life, serving as rector of the University of Salamanca from 1900 to 1914 during a time of great upheaval. In 1914, he was dismissed from the university for criticizing the policies of King Alfonso XIII. In 1924, Unamuno campaigned against the dictatorship of General Primo de Rivera and was exiled without his family to the Canary Islands. After a few months, he escaped to Paris and became a cause célèbre in intellectual circles. Unamuno spent five years in exile, living mostly in Hendaye, a French Basque town. After Rivera died in 1930, Alfonso fled Spain and the Republic was proclaimed. Unamuno returned to Salamanca and resumed his teaching post. However, in 1936, as civil war erupted, Unamuno denounced Francisco Franco. Although Franco authorized his execution, to avoid an international incident, Unamuno was placed under house arrest, where he died at age 72 on New Year's Eve, 1936.
Major Works
A modernist and existentialist, Unamuno was also a stylistic innovator who combined poetry with prose and philosophy with fiction to create new genres such as the nivola, which lacked external markers and character descriptions, conveyed a sense of timelessness, and reflected the illusory nature of the material world and the importance of the inner lives of his characters. "Faith which does not doubt is dead faith," Unamuno once wrote, and the tension between doubt and faith pervades all his work. Informed by the work of Hegel, Kierkegaard, Bergson and James, Unamuno incorporates philosophical discourse into his narratives. Unamuno's early novels, Paz en la Guerra (1897) and Amor y pedagogía (1902; Love and Pedagogy) explore the interconnectedness of self and world through death, and satirize objective positivism. Abel Sánchez (1917) explores how jealousy becomes self-hatred; Tulio Montalbán (1920) interrogates the conflicts between one's public persona and one's inner life; and La Tía Tula (1921) ponders its heroine's self-denial. Unamuno's final novel, San Manuel Bueno, mártir (1933; Saint Emmanuel the Good, Martyr), concerns a priest who has lost his faith in God but nevertheless ministers to his parishioners. Several of Unamuno's works fall under the category of metafiction, most notably Niebla (1914; Mist), in which a character dies upon learning he is a figment of Unamuno's imagination, and Cómo se hace una novela (1927), a novelistic essay about novel-writing that describes an author writing a character writing another character and so on. Noted for its blend of philosophy and romanticism and for its privileging of meaning over traditional forms, Unamuno's poetry focuses on religion, Spanish culture, geography, and domestic life. In a long poem, El Cristo de Velázquez (1920; The Christ of Velazquez), Unamuno meditates on the symbols evoked by Velázquez's painting of Christ; in poetry collections such as De Fuerteventura a París (1925) and Romancero del destierro (1928), Unamuno reflects on his experience as an exile. Like his fiction, Unamuno's plays focus on the internal lives of his characters, relying on austere settings and evocative symbolism to explore spirituality and faith as a necessary lie. A prolific essayist, Unamuno contemplated metaphysics, literature, religion, politics, and travel. En torno al casticismo (1895) attempts to define Spain's character and collective psychology. Del sentimiento trágico de la vida (1912; The Tragic Sense of Life in Men and in Peoples) explores the intrahistoria, or ignored history, of the rural Spanish provinces. Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho (1905; The Life of Don Quixote and Sancho) suggests that Cervantes' quixotic hero represents the spirituality of the Spanish people.
Critical Reception
Many early critics were mystified by Unamuno's paradoxical, determinedly unsystematic essays and novels. In 1922, H. C. Harwood called The Tragic Sense of Life in Men and in Peoples "confusing and self-contradictory." Of The Life of Don Quixote and Sancho Aubrey Bell wrote in 1919, "He agrees with no one but himself, and not with himself for very long." Although V. S. Pritchett once called Unamuno "the only [Spanish] writer to attain a European reputation," he also dismissed Mist as a "very bad novel." Yet, in his lifetime Unamuno also had fans. In 1908, Havelock Ellis proclaimed Unamuno "one of the most brilliant of Spanish writers and a penetrative critic." In 1922, the American novelist John Dos Passos admired Unamuno's "anarchic fury," and Mark van Doren called The Tragic Sense of Life in Men and in Peoples "modern Catholicism's richest, most passionate, most brilliant statement of the grounds that exist for faith in immortality, now that reason and science have done their worst." In 1931, Edgar Holt considered Don Quijote y Sancho "one of the most invigorating works that contemporary literature has produced." Many critics believed Unamuno represented a Spanish sensibility. In 1952, for example, John Mackay wrote that Unamuno was "undoubtedly the greatest interpreter of the Spanish race." Most critics suggest that Unamuno's genre-bending, metaphysical metafiction was ahead of its time. Allen Lacey praises Mist, Abel Sánchez, and Saint Emmanuel the Good, Martyr "for [their] improvisatory technique," arguing that Unamuno's "sense of the novel as a vehicle for serious play, as a comic metaphysic, has strong affinities to the best work of Jorge Luis Borges and John Barth." Martin Nozick calls El Cristo del Velázquez "a major work of unflagging vitality and resonances, … made up of wave upon wave of Whitmanesque rhythms," and Howard Young appreciates El Cristo's "Miltonic flow" as well as "the subdued sadness of his later sonnets." For R. E. Batchelor, Unamuno is a modern paradox, combining "the imperious, warrior-like vitality of a Nietzsche with the intellectual paralysis of a Pirendello, [and] the stirring pride of an Ibsen with the frustration of a Kafka." Throughout the twentieth century, critics have found, in Enrique Fernandez's words, that "Unamuno … deserves to be a category unto himself."

If the Knight-Errant makes clear that his duty binds him to protect the weak, relieve the oppressed, and punish the bad, Unamuno accepts and practices his creed.

SOURCE: Valdes, Mario J. "Metaphysics and the Novel in Unamuno's Last Decade." Hispanofila 44 (1972): 33-44.
[In the following essay, Valdes argues that Unamuno's late works of literature, from Paz en la Guerra to San Manuel Bueno, mártir and La novella de don Sandalio, jugador de ajedrez, demonstrate a well-developed metaphysics and that Unamuno's literary works metaphorically express a dialectical method and a fundamental dualism.]
One of the fundamental problems that confronts the literary critic is how to determine the place and function of philosophy in literature. Because the novel is a more elastic genre the influence of philosophy in...

[In the following essay, Jimenez-Fajardo provides an extended close reading of Unamuno's Abel Sanchez to examine the manifestations of envy, arguing that in Abel Sanchez, it is Joaquin's envy, and the resulting obsession, that makes his art triumph over Abel's.]
Two men are friends from childhood. Abel is an artist, the other, Joaquín, a doctor. Always, it seems, Abel triumphs in life with ease and grace. Joaquín hates him for it. Abel takes from Joaquín the woman he loves. Joaquín saves...

SOURCE: Shaw, D. L. "Three Plays of Unamuno: A Survey of His Dramatic Technique." Forum for Modern Language Studies 13, no. 2 (April 1977): 253-64.
[In the following essay, Shaw uses three plays by Unamuno—La esfinge, Fedra, and El otro—to trace the development of Unamuno's "narrative concept of drama," noting that while Unamuno's early work was influenced by Ibsen, his later plays imitated Pirandello; the author concludes that the very qualities that made Unamuno a "distinguished innovator" in fiction undermine his success as a playwright.]

SOURCE: Speck, Paula K. "The Making of a Novel in Unamuno." South Atlantic Review 47, no. 4 (November 1982): 52-63.
[In the following essay, Speck argues that Como se hace una novella is a series of metanarratives constructed like a maze of mirrors in a carnival, suggesting that the novel tells the story of Unamuno's search for this narrative "way out" of the labyrinth of reflection.]
Como se hace una novela (1927), one of Miguel de Unamuno's last novels, contains his most extreme experiments with narrative form. In it, he set out to push to their farthest limit the explorations of the autonomous character, the self-reflecting narrative, and the...

[In the following essay, Round argues that Paz en la Guerra is both one of the last works of nineteenth-century Spanish realism as well as postrealism—using a metanarrative to unite documentary, historical fact with novelesque, imaginative vision.]
Of Paz en la guerra two things are fairly generally granted: that it is unlike Unamuno's later novels, and that it stands at an extreme outer limit of Spanish...

[In the following essay, Olson explores the Hegelian conceit of the ontological equivalence of Pure Being and Pure Nothingness in Unamuno's novels as represented by a set of nesting boxes each containing another laquered box and argues that over a period of forty years, Unamuno's use of the nesting-box motif provided a structural and topological guiding principle that informed his work.]

CAT Chat Minutes
October 02, 1998
Information/Follow-up items
1. Will Contractors work during the week of the Users meeting?
Yes. We will be in a period of Scheduled Maintenance at that time, so the floor will be open to all.2. Why are their still wasps within the building? Exterminators have sprayed two or three times already?
We will look into having someone plug up the hole where the wasps are coming in.
User Operations
Machine maintenance is in progress. Due to a malfunction, 1-ID had to be replaced. We are installing a second ID in Sector 1 for high-heat-load tests during the run. The collimator in 3-ID is being reassembled. A new style collimator in 4-ID is being installed.
Susan Strasser reminded the group about the Ninth APS Users Meeting, which is being held October 13-15, 1998. There will be six workshops with topics of great interest to the CATs. We have a total of 380 attendees registered thus far for this meeting. If you havent registered, booklets are available that explain all the events. A registration form is also included within the booklet. If you have any questions, please contact the Users Office i.e. (x-9090).
Mohan Ramanthan reminded the group that he will be installing software for the next run to open the gap to 50 mm if the shutters are left closed for periods longer than 1-2 hours. If you have any questions involving this procedure, please contact Mohan (x-3773).
Mohan reviewed the status of the 3-ID collimator.
General Information
Gopal Shenoy mentioned that XFD is arranging for a second session of Hazardous Materials Transportation Training for CATs (and Floor Coordinators). Once training has been taken, users will be permitted to transport small quantities of many hazardous materials from off-site locations directly to the APS site (in the past, materials had to go through Building 5). This training session will take place on Monday, October 12, and will take about 3 to 3-1/2 hrs. The location has not yet been set. To register for the training, notify Joanne Wold at x-9494 or (e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com). Those who register will be notified of the exact time and location of the session. If you have any questions, please contact B. Stockmeier (x-9394) or S. Davey (x-5311).

If Pouncey leaves, I'd like to see a way for the Steelers to franchise and trade him. Even if you get a third round pick, it's better than waiting a year for a comp pick.
Decastro is awesome, pouncey is good. By the end of next season decastro will be a top 3 guard, he played like one for most of last season...just absolutely textbook after the first ravens game
I'm not one of those people and I doubt our FO views Pouncey as average like some on here do...
Then again.. you have people putting faith in Moyer and saying Sweed had upside so who the hell knows. I think most of the evaluations on here are slanted for personal reasons.

The University of California's budget has been "cut to the bone," says a spokesman. Campuses are cutting academic programs — but adding "diversity" functionaries, writes Heather Mac Donald in City Journal.
The University of California at San Diego, for example, is creating a new full-time "vice chancellor for equity, diversity, and inclusion." This position would augment UC San Diego's already massive diversity apparatus, which includes the Chancellor's Diversity Office, the associate vice chancellor for faculty equity, the assistant vice chancellor for diversity, the faculty equity advisors, the graduate diversity coordinators, the staff diversity liaison, the undergraduate student diversity liaison, the graduate student diversity liaison, the chief diversity officer, the director of development for diversity initiatives, the Office of Academic Diversity and Equal Opportunity, the Committee on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Issues, the Committee on the Status of Women, the Campus Council on Climate, Culture and Inclusion, the Diversity Council, and the directors of the Cross-Cultural Center, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center, and the Women's Center.
Gibor Basri, UC Berkeley's vice chancellor for equity and inclusion, earns $194,000 in base pay and has 17 people in his office. That could pay for a lot of assistant professors, who start at $53,000, Mac Donald writes.
To save money, UC San Diego's Academic Senate has cut master's programs in electrical and computer engineering and comparative literature and dropped courses in French, German, Spanish, and English literature.
At the same time, the body mandated a new campus-wide diversity requirement for graduation. The cultivation of "a student's understanding of her or his identity," as the diversity requirement proposal put it, would focus on "African Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, Chicanos, Latinos, Native Americans, or other groups" through the "framework" of "race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, language, ability/disability, class or age."
"Diversity" is "a code word for narcissism," Mac Donald concludes.
Asian-Americans make up nearly half of UC-San Diego students (pdf); many major in math, science or engineering. Perhaps "me studies" has to be required because students are too busy taking academic courses in hopes of being able to pay back their student loans.

Next Smartphone Revolution Will Be Price
1. Bigger display? Not really. At around 5 inches, hands aren't getting any bigger and the bezel is approaching zero. No more room for expansion here. We have reached the limit.
2. Better display resolution? Not really. The first 1080p display is here ( HTC Droid DNA on Verizon (VZ) ), but 720p was already good enough for high-end phones. Going beyond 1080p? No way, not useful for the human eye. We have reached the limit.
3. Thinner phone? No way. People want more battery life, not thinner phones. At some point, too thin becomes uncomfortable to hold. We have reached the limit.
4. Better battery life? Absolutely. There is plenty of headroom on this one. A source of perennial potential improvement. Infinite improvement ahead.
5. Faster networks? Sort of, but they are already here. The LTE standard will improve, but Qualcomm(QCOM) has the requisite chips and they will upgrade every year. We have reached a plateau for the next five years.
6. Integration/simplification? Yes, always. A major goal for SKU-reduction and cost reduction is to enable more radios on one chip. This is where Qualcomm leads the way today. Continuous improvement ahead, but largely invisible to the end user.
7. CPU/GPU processing power? Yes, sort of. There will always be improvement here, but for most people right now, the hardware is far ahead of the software being used.
8. Camera? Yes, for sure. But how many people care? How many people think the current high-end smartphone cameras are good enough?
So what's the bottom line from this list? Smartphone hardware evolution will focus on improving battery life, and to wait for Qualcomm to put more radios onto one chip, so that they can achieve the goal of eventually selling one phone around the globe.
Therefore, imagine this headline/advertisement: "New smartphone from Big Carrier XYZ! It's got 14% better battery life and the manufacturer is able to have you buy the same SKU that he sells in Nigeria and Japan."
Doesn't that make you thrilled to spend $349 or $649 to upgrade your smartphone!?
Me neither. If that's all there is, the upgrade cycles will stretch out for an extra year or so, unlike the recent experience of the upgrade cycles compressing as smartphone makers were racing to get to the current high-end plateau of superior specifications.
So is that all there is? Is there no more lever to pull for the industry in terms of advancement?
Of course not.
There is always price. And when the hardware race has almost "frozen" at a certain display size, at a certain display resolution, and everything has LTE with a CPU that far exceeds the ability of the software to utilize all of it, then they will all have to turn to cost reduction far more aggressively.

Very cool train theme. I love it.
If you want to know what the rest of them are, just keep an eye on ryan for a few days
Oh... now I get it
I've wondered since I joined what the userlevels mean...
Dieter, arn't you on a train? Are you going to change your pic when your status changes?
lol, I need to find a picture of Bender with a champagne glass.

@shadow: You're right. On the avatar picture I'm on a train (on my way into holidays)... I havn't think about that.
So, "Passenger" matches very good for my picture. :-D
Ooh ooh, perfect.
Maybe I should get banned, I know I could find a picture of bender as a hobo, well actually a robo(not to be confused with romo).
I can't wait for 2008 when Futurama returns for a run on Comedy Central.
You and me both brutha.
Nothin' beats the hobo life

Personally, I was all for Porter instead of Mechanic for the 250 mark as I thought it fit the theme more betterer (mechanic is a little more vauge and applicable to more than train riding), but... *cough*
Yes... I thought it fit more betterer.

White blood cells adhere closely: mammals
White blood cells of mammals adhere tightly to target cells by increasing their surface area using arm-like projections and shape deformation.
"Dr. Shasha Klibanov, Dr. Jonathan Lindner, and graduate student Jack Rychack of the University of Virginia are studying how leukocytes bind at high speeds to areas of infection. Physicians want to use microbubbles in combination with ultrasound to locate tumors or inflammation in the body. The microbubbles appear as a highlighted signal within the tissues or organ, enhancing the image. However, the microbubbles have low binding ability, so pass the target site and don't adhere efficiently. The researchers found that leukocytes have 'arms' that help bind them to the surface of an infection, and the blood cells deform to increase the surface contact area, increasing their adhesion to the infection. The researchers have modified the microbubbles to increase their surface area and adding micron projections to mimic leukocyte arms." (Courtesy of the Biomimicry Guild)

This is from the editor of RT:
"Just an RT printing issue: we came into the Forest yesterday to print our covers to be told that there's no toner in the copier and no one really knows when there will be. We're already nearly 2 weeks behind with RT5 so we're taking it to CopyCat again, I'm afraid..."
what the FCUK? Can anyone explain why something we agreed to to support is not being supported. They are now asking for £30 a month to print at CC. This is annoying.
