Never has 28 mph in a Maserati been this thrilling. The noise, the wind in the hair, the constant rush of adrenaline, the feeling of raw, undiluted power.
In my hands, the suede-covered wheel is bucking and writhing with each lump and bump, yet the handling in the wet is just sensational. I guess you could say I'm having a swell time.
Of course, this isn't your average Maserati sportster. The one I'm steering is 70 feet long, tips the scales at 10 tons and is powered by a throbby 75-horsepower diesel. It's not even Italian—it was built in Sweden. But at its crazy-fast top speed of 46 mph, few machines feel this rapid.
I'm helming Maserati, the Italian sports-car maker's racing sailboat. In one of those rare, heaven-sent opportunities, I've been asked to help crew this waterborne rocket ship from its U.S. home base in Charleston, South Carolina, down to Palm Beach, where it was due to be the star attraction at a Maserati customer event. Three days, hundreds of miles, an experience of a lifetime.
Prior to leaving Charleston, Maserati and its crew of eight had screamed across the Atlantic, establishing a new speed record for the so-called Columbus route from Cadiz, Spain, to San Salvador in the Bahamas; 3,884 miles in 10 days and 23 hours, averaging more than 16 knots. For a big monohull yacht, that's fast.
Most of our trip down was at a more sedate pace, as big winds failed to materialize. But on the second night out, with the yacht's enormous spinnaker flying and the wind getting fresh and feisty, we saw 25 knots—roughly 28 mph—on the mast-mounted speedo. With two giant rooster tails pluming up from the stern, it felt more like 100.
Pulling into the Port of Palm Beach would have been an immense anticlimax had I not known what was waiting for me on the quayside. There in its rich Rosso Trionfale paint—that's cherry red to you and me—was the new pride of Maserati's land fleet, its 2012 GranTurismo Convertible Sport. Steer the boat, drive the car; life doesn't get much sweeter.
The regular GranTurismo Convertible has been around for a few years now. But for the new Sport, they upped the horsepower of the 4.7-liter V-8 from 433 to a nice, roll-off-the-tongue 444. It's essentially the same engine that powers the hard-edged GranTurismo MC Stradale.
The upgrade to Sport spec also includes my new favorite feature—a freer-flowing exhaust. While this might not sound like much, anyone who has driven a regular GranTurismo will eulogize over its sensational, basso profundo exhaust roar. Nascar stock cars are hushed by comparison. With this new exhaust, the noise now borders on the obscene.
Don't worry, you can cruise around with only muted thunder erupting from the car's back end. But its party trick is the Sport button, which opens up a valve in the exhaust, essentially bypassing anything that might get in the way of muffling the roar.
To enjoy this truly unique feature to the fullest, drop the GT's multilayer cloth top—a 24-second piece of mechanical ballet—and find yourself a nice city-center canyon of office buildings. Now hold the six-speed ZF auto in second gear, let the revs build to around 3,000 and enjoy. Shop windows will vibrate, household pets will scurry to safety, sidewalk diners will risk neck injury with the speed at which their heads twist.
For me, this primeval wail, this orgy of octaves, this wall of sound is worth every cent of the GT Convertible Sport's $148,000 asking price.
Other upgrades to Sport spec include a few aerodynamic body appendages, plus 20 percent stiffer roll bars and 15 percent stiffer springs to sharpen the car's cornering. Surprisingly, the stiffer suspension doesn't affect the quality of the ride, which remains firm but nicely plush.
And still, the beauty of this truly beautiful Maserati is that it continues to offer seating for four adults in stretch-out comfort, in one of the finest leather-upholstered cabins money can buy.
Just like the Maserati sailboat, you could say that this new GranTurismo Convertible Sport leaves the opposition in its wake.

The UTMB Fun Run
The mid-race cancellation of the 2010 UTMB had runners scrambling for cover from the storm, for beer and for the start of the next day's consolation race. But did it count? ...
Photo by David Clifford
In a cool bar of ubiquitous wood, ambient sunlight pored in through the windows, providing the sole source of the mid-day light and heat. Geoff Roes sat before his beer and watched the bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass. Including the bartender, we were three in the bar. Outside, on Chamonix, France's cobblestone Rue Vallot, it was unseasonably hot for the beginning of autumn and the throng of spandex-clad ultrarunners and their supporters made it feel even hotter. The French filled the outdoor seating to capacity, basking like sunflowers with faces directed toward the heavens.
"The past week has been nice and calm," said Roes, looking up from his beer. The recent winner and course-record holder of North America's undisputed ultrarunning championship event, the Western States 100, talked with a metallic calmness that can't be faked with a man of his intensity. He looked outside at the stark contrast to the statement he just made: the mid-afternoon bustle of market goers, product promoters, tourists and athletes, then returned to his beer.
With only 27 hours remaining before the start of the eighth edition of the 166-kilometer (104-mile) Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB), Roes had declined my invitation for a short run and opted instead for a beer. This is a man, I thought, who knows when the hay is in the barn.

Simple question: the blue steel pans sold by Northern Pizza Equipment and also PAPROD.com, are they the same produce or equivalent in quality and price? Do they differ in quality such as thickness?
I just received two 10 X 14s from here. http://www.bucket-outlet.com/upan.htm The sticker on the back said Made in Mexico - Dover
Once again, The maker of the pans has eliminated the "bluing process" most likely to reduce production costs. All blued pans must be first "seasoned" to make them no stick, the bluing is only to prevent rust during storage. That's all bluing does, it does not create a no stick surface. All blue steel pans start their life as cold rolled steel. The cold rolled steel pans once seasoned will perform just the same as blued steel pans.Don

Chicken Adobo
Time: About 11/4hours
This Philippine classic has been called the best chicken dish in the world by a number of my friends and readers. It is cooked in liquid first, then roasted, grilled, or broiled. Here, however, the initial poaching liquid is reduced to make a sauce to pass at the table for both the chicken and white rice, the natural accompaniment. The coconut milk isn't mandatory, though it does enrich the sauce considerably.
Other protein you can use: pork chops (bone-in or boneless).

In short: I'll be backIn full: Yes, I did this series last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Today I began with the 5k, which had surprisingly few runners compared to the 10. With everyone starting together, there was a really good feel to the race which, as last year, was a model of good organisation. The hill was only muddy for the first half, so I can't really explain why it took me longer than last year. I noticed they had moved the start, and that last year a number of runners had suggested the course was short... would that be the reason, perhaps? I'd be interested to hear from anyone else whose time has increased. Bad points were the parking charge (I forgot to bring any change)and the inadequate toilets for so many runners.

Skip to comments.Jobless claims drop exceeds expectations
Posted on 02/14/2013 6:19:25 AM PST by John W
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week, pointing to a continued steady improvement in labor market conditions.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 27,000 to a seasonally adjusted 341,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. The prior week's claims figure was revised to show 2,000 more applications received than previously reported.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected claims to fall to 360,000.
A Labor Department analyst said claims for Illinois and snowstorm-hit Connecticut had been estimated. Nevertheless, because most claims are filed online, the blizzard that slammed the East Coast appeared to have little effect on the broader claims data, he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...
how many were added to disability?
Oh, joy! Happy days are here again ping
Comrades, celebrate as all is wonderful under the Dear Reader. That is an order.
How many didn't file because of the storm?
It's funny that when numbers are worse they blame the weather, but when the numbers are "better", they don't blame the weather.
Hmmm... Prior to the election, we were told that hurricane Sandy was responsible for the increase in jobless claims that occurred that time.
One good thing about Obama. He consistently lies anders the media YO fo so likewise. People have caught on and he has painted himself into a corner where almost no one believes him or the MSM anymore (well at least the people with functional brains).
One good thing about Obama. He's consistent. He consistently lies and orders the media to do so likewise. People have caught on and he has painted himself into a corner where almost no one believes him or the MSM anymore (well at least the people with functional brains).
Republicans wake up and support American jobs.
The Dems are working against American interests, and the media is in bed with them to snow American readers.
The economy is falling apart.
Yet we see puff pieces like this, claiming things are somehow, in some dreamland "good".
Things are not good. We are selling our souls to Chinese communists. Communists.
The Dems I expect to do so. Republicans however, should be patriotic.
Bring back American jobs. Stop building up our strongest enemy ever. Wake up people!
Estimate for a couple of states, and then "seasonally adjust" on top of that? Mumbo-jumbo squared.
In the Soviet Union they used to say no one was actually starving because tractor production was up. It was always up, up so much every man, woman, and child on the planet should have had their own tractor.
One reason first time applicants to unemployment insurance are always below expected is that the States cannot handle the load and have backlogs of applicants that wait up to 90 days to get processed for their claim.
Another interesting question, with all the people that have dropped out of working and with all the people that have already been laid off over the past 4 years, how come the numbers are still so high? Is it because everyone is working short time jobs like temporary or contract? There are actually fewer full time workers now.
There are 5 million less people with jobs today than at any time during the Presidency of George W. Bush.
The number of people with jobs in America has decreased steadily under Obama. His Presidency has never experienced a period of net job growth.
When jobs added exceeds jobs lost, that'll be news.
So, we are seasonally adjusting number we just pull out of thin air. And then crowing about it. "The government further announced record wheat harvests this year"
43 out of 57.
Exceeds expectations? What an Understatement!!
I was expecting the number to come in at 1,341,000 claims, so in my book, this was 1,000,000 BELOW my expectations... Congratulations are in order for a job well done, Happy days are here again
Next week, when it is revised, that will be the excuse.
Interesting that, last time they had a better than expected (drink!) report, they estimated California.
Illinois and California are both in about the same econimic straits.
the more people drop out of the labor force, the better the obaconomy looks!
O happy days
Forget how many are unemployed- how many are employed?
Now if only the greedy rich would pick up their fair share of slack and pay those taxes that nonoworkers don't pay
The headline from another source:
Initial Claims Plunge As Department Of Labor "Estimates" Claims For Illinois, Conn.
A line from the subject article, titled "Jobless claims drop exceeds expectations":
A Labor Department analyst said claims for Illinois and snowstorm-hit Connecticut had been estimated.
The bias is readlily apparent in the headlines. One praises the regime; the other questions it.
this is why you look at the 4 week moving average which is 352,500. Kast time the 4 week MA was at this level was March 2008.
"Economists polled by Reuters had expected claims to fall to 360,000."
They would never err on the side of caution...or dare I say OVERESTIMATE so that things would SEEM better.
Increase in applications for ObamaPhones,EBT cards and SSDI exceeds expectations.
"The prior week's claims figure was revised to show 2,000 more applications received than previously reported. "
Initial unemployment insurance claims fell by 27,000, to 341,000, in the week ended 9 February. The four-week moving average ticked up 1,500, to 352,500.
- Initial unemployment insurance claims dropped by 27,000, to 341,000, in the week ended 9 February. On a not-seasonally adjusted basis, claims fell by 29,014, to 359,428.
- The four-week moving average, a less volatile measure of unemployment claims, rose to 352,500. The four-week moving average has been hovering near its lowest levels since March 2008.
- Continuing benefits programs reported 138,000 fewer claimants in the week ended 2 February, bringing the total down to 3.6 million. Regular benefits typically last for a period of 26 weeks; claimants are required to check in weekly to provide updates on their job search to receive compensation.
- Emergency unemployment compensation (EUC), which immediately follows the exhaustion of regular benefits, was provided to 2.08-million people in the week ended 26 Januaryan increase of 255,258, which nearly cancels out the previous weeks drop.
This weeks drop in jobless claims exceeded expectations. Indeed, claims seem to be following a definite downward trend. However, in the wake of Winter Storm Nemo, it is hard to become optimistic about jobless claims effect on the February employment report. The survey period for the employment report overlaps with the aftermath of the blizzard, and thus reflects a pay week in which many Americans in the Northeast would not have been able to work.
The four-week moving average, which smoothes out volatility in weekly jobless claims, has been hovering near its lowest levels since March 2008an encouraging sign. However, the recovery is still gathering momentum. The four-week moving average is down only 20,000 from a year ago. Meanwhile, the January unemployment rate edged up to 7.9%. According to the January NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, more small firms are planning to hire.
The recent changes seen in emergency unemployment compensation and extended benefits data may reflect the effects of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. These programs had been slated to expire at the end of December, but were extended until the end of 2013 as part of the fiscal-cliff agreement. Continuing claims and initial claims were not affected by the fiscal-cliff deal. The only programs threatened by the cliff were those serving people who had been receiving unemployment benefits for upwards of 26 weeks.
January payroll employment was nothing special, at 157,000. Since the recent blizzard likely put a damper on February payroll employment growth, we expect the next report to come in between 125,000150,000.
Excuse me if the newest dazzling data from the "Ministry of Truth" doesn't impress me.
-— Oh, joy! Happy days are here again ping ——
There's so much good news, I'm getting tired of celebrating.
I'd prefer a job, though.
Your job IS to celebrate, comrade. Another piece of cake, perhaps?
Once any "adjustment" is made in a survey, the scientific validity of a truly random sample is destroyed.
Apparently the definition of a valid random sample has changed since I graduated from college.
how many were added to disability?""""
That & Illinois & Connecticut were ESTIMATES!!!!
"how many were added to disability?"
BINGO. The new gold mine is here.
60% for the fraudsters and
40% for the fraudulent lawyers
-100% for the Amerikan taxpayer
Seeing that this is the initial claims number, your question is largely irrelevant.
Oh, there's a lot of that stuff across the landscape today.
Why do you think so few people see that the Emperor has no clothes?
Thank the educational establishment for that. Their main goal for many, many years has been the successful development and implementation of the "New Soviet Man", not the education and development of fresh young minds.
By the time the SHTF, an increasing number of people will start to see, slowly in more cases than not, that, education-wise, they've been sold a bill of goods. However, since their logic and problem-solving neural pathways have been stunted by lack of development in the formative years, their response to this growing insight is likely to be violence, egged on by a culture that festers in the politics of envy.
This is why I fear war is inevitable, and that, as things continue to go South, we'll be experiencing a quickening of that day's approach. This is why the
Communists, uh Fascists, uh, I mean, Democrats are pushing so mightily for gun control now.
No matter how you view it, as Tom Cullen in "The Stand" so eloquently put it, "M-O-O-N, that spells trouble!"
We have been adding over 300,000 a month to the unemployment lines for years, sooner or later we have to start running out people to add. That's 4 million a year. This country should be ashamed of those numbers.
I did read it incorrectly, that was 2012. In December, 2012, there were about 461,000 jobs more than there were in January, 2009.
not surprising. there's been an uptick in part timers as their hours get cut and they get hired on at second jobs.
Growing up, I always wondered what it was like living in Russia....starting to get the picture now.
Yes you've identified correctly that the "29ers" trend is actually beneficial for the employment stats.
Terms not seen in the MSM since Jan 2009:
"Recovery for Wall $treet but not Main Street"
"Homeless problem"
Proof that more and more Americans have given up hope of ever finding a job again in this joint.

Sleek hairstyle with ultra frizzy pigtails
Long, dark hair is the dramatic drawing board for an attention-snagging hairstyle. Thick, one-length, straight hair is parted down the middle, all the way to the back, then caught up in two pigtails tight and low on either side, entirely covering the ears. The tails are then teased all throughout for a huge cloud of frizzy hair practically covering the neck and shoulders. The length is what gives incredible volume, and reaches down to mid-torso even with the fine, meticulous tease.

Skip to comments.Wajdas Katyn Polands Oscar candidate (see picture gallery)
Posted on 09/23/2007 11:35:01 AM PDT by lizol
Wajdas Katyn Polands Oscar candidate
Sunday, September 23. 2007
Katyn, the latest film by veteran Polish movie maker Andrzej Wajda, will be Polands candidate for Best Foreign Film in next years Academy Awards. Katyn which had its premier last week in Warsaw tells the story of the massacre by over 20,000 Polish officers by the Soviet NKVD in 1940.
Some of Wajdas family were murdered during the massacre.
Wajdas latest movie was among 16 Polish films which a special committee had to chose from to send to the Academy in Los Angles for consideration for nomination in the Best Foreign Film category.
In 2000 Wajda was presented with an honorary Oscar for his numerous contributions to cinema.
His epic about the Solidarity strikes, Man of Iron, won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1981. Three of Wajda's worksThe Promised Land, The Maids of Wilko, and Man of Ironhave been nominated for an Academy Award for best foreign-language film.
Not guilty!
Looking forward to this film!
And we were told for years that there was no Katyn Massacre. Some of our most trusted soviet sympathizers assured us that it never happened. I guess it's OK to talk about it now?
a putin bump de bump.
That is because the left blamed the Nazis for it. Then when the left found out that one of thier heros did it, then it was hushed up...
And besides, it was only 20,000 poles, right.Hell, Stalin killed that many before lunch.
IMDb listing for "Katyn".
Apparently not yet out on DVD...but I'll be looking for it (hope it
will have English subtitles!).
My understanding is there is a high percentage of "totally innocent" babes in Poland. Note to self: find an excuse to go to Poland.
It won't win an Oscar. Hollywood's favorite good guys, Soviet thugs, are the bad guys in this film. No chance for the little gold idol coming its way!
I agree. Hollywood can't have "Uncle Joe" and the boys look bad.
Is that an American Jeep in one of the pictures?
I thought the Jeep came out in 1941.
The only reason Hollywood doesn't like Stalin was because he murdered their real hero, Trotsky.
Yup, poor ol' Trotsky was, in Hollyweird's mind, a real man of the people. He was a wannabe Stalin.
An anti-Communist film has as much chance of winning an Oscar as Michael Vick has of winning Favorite Dog Owner.
That's some sort of jeep or Soviet type knock off. That's a bit of an anachronism.
anyone know if this film has been released in the states yet?
But I'm sure very soon there will be some version with English subtitles.
Looks like my ex, a Pollock, she had blue eyes though.
You married a fish? Maybe that's why it didn't work out. ;)
The only problem with Pols/Lits is that they all end up looking like Bapchi.
As you know, unlike the armies of most countries, the Polish officer corps in World War II was composed of the leading men of Polish society - judges, intellectuals, professors, political leaders and the like. This has always been a tradition of the Poles.
By murdering these men, Stalin and his minions were setting up the remaining Poles for total enslavement, in perpetuity.
Fortunately, the Poles being the Poles, eventually, a Man of Iron would come along, and upset the Soviet applecart in Poland...
Touching, thanks. Will it be available with English subtitles?
No anachronism - this scene takes place in 1945 and Roosevelt had been sending hundreds of thousands of jeeps to Russia through the Lend-Lease program since 1941...

This is frickin' awesome! There's a service online at christiannewswire.com where they allow any faith-head lunatic to post a press release. Only on a site such as this would something this hilarious be printed with a straight face. This is from some frootloop named Pastor Wiley Drake, and while it sounds exactly like the sort of thing you'd see over at Landover Baptist's peerless parody site, this is one case where I believe reality is funnier than parody.
In light of the recent attack from the enemies of God I ask the children of God to go into action with Imprecatory Prayer. Especially against Americans United for Separation of Church and State. I made an attempt to go to them via Matt 18:15 but they refused to talk to me. Specifically target Joe Conn or Jeremy Learing. They are those who lead the attack. (You can see their press release attack at www.au.org )
Boy! This "imprecatory prayer" stuff sounds pretty hardcore. Certainly it put me in mind of that classic hymn of righteousness, "The Hand of the Almighty" by John R. Butler. (Ain't heard it? Get ye some salvation, sinner!)
Anyway, I decided I'd better look the term up. After all, if "imprecatory prayer" is at least as effective as "intercessory prayer," then it seems like the AU has…well…nothing at all to worry about. But as Pascal's Wager reminds us, why take chances, eh?
So the first Google result I got for the term was this demented page, which reveals Christian love in all its glory.
What is a Christian to do when the government protects criminals and criminal activity such as the abortion clinic? What is a Pastor to do when the government, or the news media, or well funded liberal hate groups persecute and bad mouth him because of his doctrine? What is a Christian to do when he can not go to the courts, police, and government for justice? What if the courts, police and government are the criminals. The answer is imprecatory prayer.
Poor Christians, persecuted everywhere you turn! I mean, I had no idea you guys weren't allowed to go to the police or to the courts any more! When was that law passed? And how was it passed by all of our Christian senators and congressmen, and not vetoed by our Christian president? Oh well. No use worrying about that now, Christians! What will you do? What will you do? Well, apart from making damn sure you buy American Express Traveler's Checks, you go right to the head office.
Imprecatory prayer is a last resort appeal to God for justice. The so called 'curses' are simply the just penalty called for in the scriptures for the alleged crime. Imprecatory prayer is an appeal to the court of divine justice (1) for protection and (2) the appropriate punishment for the criminals.
Imprecatory prayer is most often used when the criminals are the rich and powerful or corrupt men in government. The prayer asks God to solve the problem and bring the criminal to repentance, or to judgment.
You know, maybe it's just me, but it sounds like "imprecatory prayer" is just for pussies who can't work up the chutzpah to strap on a suicide bomb. (Then again, I suppose we don't see "imprecatory prayer" practiced more often than we do because all of the rich and powerful and corrupt men in government at the moment are conservative Christians.) But as we are soon warned, if not performed with the proper gravitas, "imprecatory prayer" can backfire something nasty. After all, this is an all-powerful deity we're talking about here, and as Brother John Butler reminds us, he can really f*ck you up!
Here are a few words from a sermon by Pastor Pete Peters as he was commenting on pages 216 and 217 of Paradise Restored by Rev. David Chilton.
"You be careful with imprecatory prayer. Because if your life is not right. It can have a boomerang effect. You see, as you judge, so shall you be judged. Think about that. Does that make sense? I say that because, the other day somebody pointed out to me that a woman has been praying for me to die in an airplane crash. She is a Christian woman. She wants me dead. Well, now, I was thinking about that, you know, If I was her son I would not want to get into an airplane. You see what I am saying? You got to be careful how you use that power. With imprecatory prayer, if we don't mature as Christians, it is like putting a loaded 45, `hammer-back, cocked and the safety off, into the hands of a five-year old. Does that make sense?"
Well, hell no, it doesn't make sense, you cross-eyed inbred psychopath! You'd have to be completely non compos mentis to believe there's some all-powerful invisible magical man in the sky who loves us, and who made us in his image, but who will not only f*ck us up if we don't love him back to his satisfaction, he can also be prayed to for some divine f*ckin-up action if Christians feel they're just too put upon by this invisible man's so-called enemies. Furthermore, if this invisible man is really omnithis and omnithat and omnieverythingelse, then you'd think he'd already know who his enemies were, and would be about f*ckin' em up all on his own, without needing the "imprecatory prayer" of his paranoid sheep to point out to him that he had enemies needing some f*ckin up in the first place!
Ah, Christianity. Institutionalized madness.
Anyway, thought I better check out the AU site to see what brought on Pastor Wiley's histrionics.
Yesterday, Americans United asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, Calif., for a potential violation of federal tax law barring electioneering by non-profit groups. Dr. Wiley S. Drake, pastor of the church, issued a press release on church letterhead endorsing Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and subsequently offered the endorsement on a church-affiliated radio show.
Respondeth Barry Lynn: "Calling for curses on us might distract Drake's supporters, but it won't help him with the IRS." Heh heh. Yeah, Kent Hovind found that out the hard way.
This stuff just gets funnier and funnier! Everybody thinks I have it in for Christians. But I swear, on a day like this, with this kind of thing going on, I hold them dear to my heart.
Now, if I can only figure out who these "well-funded liberal hate groups" are. Project much?

Need a variation on a 24hr room temp no knead fermentation with more strength
October 09, 2012, 03:04:44 PM »
I'm working at a Children's centre in Mozambique and I'm starting to train some of the older boys to make and sell pizza.
Last week was our first big night - we made 40 pizzas - and I did not realise how much work that would be!
I have been experimenting recently with knead vs no knead, and I decided for our first attempt to go with the Jim Lahey pizza recipe, which I had down from some googling as yeast .2%, salt 2% and water 70%. There is only one flour you can buy in bulk here and it is labelled as bread flour and it's not bad, no idea of the protein % though. It does seem to be quite a thirsty dough.
I mixed up a 5kg+ batch and left it for about 23 hours at room temp - which is pretty hot here, around 85-90F in the day and 70-75F at night. After 23 hours it had almost doubled, had some bubbles on top, but not as many as I have seen in some photos. I thought it might over-rise with the high temp's, maybe because my yeast is pretty old, I don't know. Then balled at 200g and proofed at room temp for 2-5 hours, from the first to last pizza.
Anyway, we fired up the old WFO on the base, which was an adventure, e.g. the wood and bamboo that is in the hearth (!) catching fire, plus the dome cracked... but the pizzas actually came out really great, I was so happy.
The only downside was that the no knead wet dough was too difficult for the boys, who've only had a few lessons so far, to shape into bases. But it tasted great and I think the high hydration worked well - better than a couple of experiments we'd done with lower water %'s.
So is there a way to improve the strength, but keep the flavour and hydration? Cold fermentation is not an option as there's no fridge. What happens if they knead the dough and then leave it for the same 24 hour rise? Everything is by hand, which is why I wanted to get no knead to work if I could.
Many thanks for any input.

Nick, do you have any kind of basement area or a room with air conditioning? With the temps you're dealing with, I think it's going to be a bit frustrating to achieve consistent results.
Was the dough too slack or too tight to form? If it's too slack, then you definitely want to dial back the water. 65% is a lot more sensible for your average bread flour.
If it's too tight, you need to ball the dough a lot earlier than 2 hours before forming. You want to give the dough plenty of time to relax after balling- 6 hours minimum.
As you dial in the fermentation, the balling schedule, and the hydration, the dough will naturally become much easier to open. Also, as the helpers open more dough balls, their skills will improve. How are your dough opening skills? In order to train them well, your skills should be immaculate.

Thanks for those thoughts Scott. We do have a basement storage room for the main kitchen, maybe that is a bit cooler / consistent, I could try that. No air con though.
The dough was too slack, so I will try cutting the hydration %. My skills unfortunately are intermediate at best, but I'm all they've got!
I have been trying to watch as many youtube videos as I can and practicing myself, but I'm a bit isolated out here.
I was thinking this week of trying kneading the dough this time (by hand, but five of us can all do 1kg batches each!), but still using a long bulk fermentation time with a low yeast % like 0.2% again (I forgot to say it's instant yeast that we can get here). Do you think I'd be better doing the long fermentation time at the bulk stage or after balling? We don't have proofing boxes, the best I can do is using zip-lock bags.
I have a new problem, which is that the time we have available is Friday night for prep and then Sunday night to cook. Could I do a 48hr bulk fermentation with half the yeast amount as last time? Could I freeze the bulk dough for 24 hours (we do have a chest freezer available)? This isn't a professional operation, I'm trying to work around my family commitments and ultimately I want to set up a system where they don't need me at all.

I'm thinking that your fermentation is too long for your conditions and flour at hand. You might try this:
Begin with less water, say 65% and make further adjustments as necessary. Suspend the yeast in the water, are you using Engadura yeast or a locally produced fresh yeast? In either case, do suspend it in the water. Then add the flour, salt and sugar if used. Stir the ingredients together until thoroughly whetted, add the oil of shortening and continue stirring for a few more minutes. Cover and set aside to rise for 2-hours, then punch the dough down in the bowl and turn it over. Allow to rise for 30-minutes more, then turn the dough out onto a bench for cutting/scaling and forming into dough balls. Set the dough balls aside, sprinkle with flour and cover with a sheet of plastic to prevent drying. Allow the dough balls to rest/ferment for 30 to 60-minutes, or until they can be easily opened into pizza skins, then dress the skins and bake in your normal manner. I've used this procedure in a number of developing countries and remote areas with very good success.

Cozumel Island History
Cozumel Mayans & Spaniards - The First Mestizos
Cozumels main beachfront avenue, Rafael Melgar, is decorated with sculptures commemorating events in Cozumel's history. Most notably is the Monument of Two Cultures, also known as the Mestizo Monument. It depicts Gonzalo Guerrero who has become a political and literary icon and has been transformed into a national myth.
, a sailor from Spain, and
Jerónimo de Aguilar
who had taken holy orders in his native Spain, were shipwrecked along the Yucatan Peninsula. All of the surviving crew of Spanish explorer Valdivia's vessel were taken as slaves by the local Maya including Guerrero and Aguilar. Some of the crew managed to escape ocassionally but were soon captured by other Mayan lords, who also enslaved them. After some time the only survivors were Aguilar and Guerrero. These two Spanish shipwreck survivors became the first Europeans to penetrate the mysteries of the Maya culture as they found it, still free from all contact with the West.
Guerrero assimilated into the Mayan culture, learning the language and adopting Mayan ways. He earned his freedom, became a respected warrior under Nachan Kaan, Lord of Chektumal, married his daughter and fathered her three children, which became the first Mestizos.
Mestizo is a Spanish term that continues to be used today in Latin America to refer to people of mixed European (Spaniard) and Amerindian ancestry living in the region of Latin America. Fray Jerónimo de Aguilar remained true to his priestly vows and refused to form a romantic liaison with any of the attractive girls whom the chief placed at his disposal but was allowed to remain alive as a slave.
On Holy Cross Day (May 3rd), 1518 an expedition led by Juan de Grijalva landed in Cozumel. During three days the Spaniards circled the island, and the 6th of May, 1518, they found safe harbor next to what is now San Miguel, where they expected to find resistance, but were received in peace, and were surprised to see the first building made of stone in the new world. The islanders traded with the Spaniards, exchanging gold and a variety of goods. The Catholic mass held that day on the beach which is now known as Playa Las Casitas (little houses), is still celebrated by locals every year.
Upon his return to Cuba, Juan de Grijalva brought news about the existence of two Spaniards in the land of the Yucatán. When Hernán Cortés arrived in Cozumel in command of the next expedition in 1519, he sent Guerrero and Aguilar word to join him on the island. Fray Jerónimo de Aguilar did so after a few days, but Gonzalo Guerrero sent word back refusing to return with the Spaniards.
Aguilar spoke to Guerrero, reminding him that he was of Christian faith and should not throw away his everlasting soul for the sake of an Indian woman, but Gonzalo was not to be convinced. Guerreros response is inscribed on a plaque at the monument, and the translation is: "Brother Aguilar; I am married and have three children, and they look on me as a cacique (lord) here, and captain in time of war. My face is tattooed and my ears are pierced. What would the Spaniards say if they saw me like this? Go and God's blessing be with you, for you have seen how handsome these children of mine are.
Francisco de Montejo had joined Grijalvas expedition and was in command of four ships. After discovering Guerreros respected position with the Mayans, Montejo tried to win over Guerrero by sending him a long letter, again reminding him of his Christian faith, offering him his friendship and a complete pardon. Guerrero refused to join his countrymen and furthermore set about organizing the Mayans so that they could defend their land from the Spanish takeover. Guerrero was later killed while fighting on the side of the Indians against the Spaniards.
was the first site touched by the Spanish army of Hernán Cortés in what is now Mexican territory thus becoming the starting point for Spain's conquest of Mexico.

Camelsdale is now effectively part of Haslemere in Surrey, but was in the parish of Fernhurst until 1938 (VCH 4 p58) and is still in the diocese of Chichester. A chapel in a style influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, of brick and render and with sloping buttresses was built in 1906. This became the first parish church and still stands near the present brick one of 1971, which was designed by A F Coombes (ICBS). This has a diamond-shaped plan with the four corners cut off to form an irregular octagon. The long walls contain tall, narrow windows with a lower flat-roofed structure to the west for the vestry and entrance. The main building has a copper-clad roof, sloping up to a lantern in the centre bearing a spike.
Inside, there is seating around three sides, facing the altar against the short east wall, showing the characteristic Anglican reluctance to accept a central altar even where the plan seems made for it. However, the general effect is pleasing with white-painted walls and exposed roof girders. Some of the simple fittings are from the old church.

The Bureau of Energy Resources (ENR) officially began operations on November 16, 2011. We lead the State Department in the whole-of-government effort to promote U.S. international energy engagement, influence how nations move to a cleaner energy future, and protect our energy infrastructure and transit routes.
The creation of ENR emphasizes the important role of energy in U.S. foreign policy. The United States has a long-standing interest in a secure supply of energy resources, as well as in sustaining and diversifying those resources.
We have three core goals:
• Increase access to energy for the world's poor, including the 1.3 billion people worldwide living without electricity, through commercially viable and environmentally sustainable means. This helps developing economies find their way out of poverty.
• Manage the geopolitics of today's energy economy through vigorous diplomacy with producers and consumers. This is critical to promote adequate and affordable supplies of energy and to keep energy markets stable.
• Stimulate the market forces that can transform policies in alternative energy, electricity, development and reconstruction. This creates market demand for green technologies and products where the U.S. has a competitive advantage.
Our Bureau will bring U.S. diplomatic and programmatic efforts in the energy sector together. This combination will enable us to accomplish our goals by building sustainable, transparent and predictable international markets for traditional hydrocarbons, civilian nuclear power, electricity, renewable energy, and energy efficiency.
One example of this combination of diplomatic and programmatic resources can be seen in Nigeria, where we have been chairing an energy working group. The Department of Energy has joined us in this endeavor, and we've had exchanges with the Nigerian government on oil and gas issues and power market reform. We've recruited other U.S. government agencies and potential investors to provide financial and technical assistance to the Nigerians as they attempt to reform their power sector.
Through this working group, we've been able to call on a wide range of U.S. actors that I think will bring more effective results than any individual agency acting on its own.
Accomplishing the ENR Bureau's goals will ultimately advance U.S. national security interests, our environmental aspirations, and a strong national and global economy. We will also ensure that energy security is integrated into the nation's foreign policy objectives. Finally, we will provide expert advice and analysis to Secretary Clinton on energy security strategy, policy, operations and programs.
Our Bureau will be led by Ambassador Carlos Pascual, the Secretary's Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs. We will operate under the oversight of the Under Secretary for Economic, Energy, and Agricultural Affairs (E), Robert D. Hormats.
For more information about ENR, please visit our website at www.state.gov/e/enr.
Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
Hopefully, this new energy department will be eliminated after the next election. If not, the State Department can stop crying about reductions in its next budget because it is spending its current budget on nonsense.
The oil and energy industry can certainly send its salemen to Africa without needing a special government agency to tell them where the customers are located.

Lufthansa Selects iCargo
Lufthansa Cargo AG (LCAG) has selected the IBS Software iCargo system to manage its air cargo movement across the globe.
(Left to right: Mathew M Baby - Vice President & Head of Airline Cargo Services, IBS Group, Sankalp Saxena - President & Head of Aviation Operations Services, IBS Group, V K Mathews - Founder & Executive Chairman, IBS Group, Hans-Guenther Loeffler - Acting Consul General, German Consulate, Bangalore, Dr. Roland Schütz- Vice President, Information Management (CIO), Lufthansa Cargo AG, Thomas Sonntag - Vice President, Procurement and Infrastructure (CPO), Lufthansa Cargo AG)
The integrated solution will provide web-enabled features to manage cargo logistics for the airline, replacing its current legacy Unisys-based MOSAIK application. LCAG said the web-enabled features and real time availability of operational information will lead to improved revenue generation for its increasing volumes of cargo movement.
"The clear differentiator is the state of the art architecture/technology as well as the skilled employees," said Roland Schutz, CIO of Lufthansa Cargo AG. "Furthermore iCargo is unique in offering consistent process support with its single platform ranging from sales processes to handling as well as ULD management and up to revenue accounting."
LCAG will deploy the iCargo solution across 100 stations with more than 4,000 users globally.

INDIANAPOLIS — Unofficially, Corey Brown had a superb time in his 40-yard dash at the NFL combine.
Officially, it lost much of its luster.
Entering the NFL combine this weekend, the Ohio State receiver was considered a late-round draft pick at best. In his media interview on Friday, Brown said he expected to run a 40 in the high 4.3- or low 4.4-second range.
Yesterday morning, Brown posted an unofficial time of 4.37. But hours later, his official time was posted: 4.51. Brown wasn't alone. Official times were consistently slower than the immediate unofficial ones.
A fast 40 time wouldn't guarantee that Brown will get drafted. At 5 feet 11 and only 178 pounds, Brown is small for an NFL receiver. He wasn't much of a pure deep threat at Ohio State, and he needs to show pro scouts that he has the speed to do that.
Brown said he doesn't dwell on his draft status.
"I'm going to go out on Sunday and do what I can do and showcase what I can do, and from there, I'll let God handle it," he said.
Brown overcame a slow start at Ohio State to become the leader of the receivers group, partly because of his competitiveness and partly because of his charismatic personality.
Asked how he would describe himself to NFL teams, Brown replied, "A leader, a competitor, a winner. I'm accountable. I'm going to show up every day."
Brown was limited late in the year because of a stress fracture in his leg. His Ohio State career ended on a sour note when he fumbled a punt return that changed the momentum of the Orange Bowl loss to Clemson.
"It was tough, especially to go out like that for your last game," Brown said. "But we had a good run. College is college and now it's time to move on."
Asked how often he has replayed the punt return in his mind, he said, "Not once."
Although his Ohio State days are over, one legacy from it remains. He was nicknamed "Philly" to differentiate him from the Corey Brown who hails from Pittsburgh. He is the only Corey Brown at the combine, but his NFL-issued hoodie read "P. Brown" on the back.
One of the teams he has met with is the Philadelphia Eagles.
"They said it's only right that we get you since your name is Philly," he said.
Although his focus is squarely on his future, Brown takes much pride in being part of the Buckeyes' success.
"The last two years, those were the years that football was the most enjoyable, not just for me but for everybody," he said. "Just being able to win so many games in a row and be a part of so many great accomplishments: the (24-game) win streak, the all-Big Tens, the best offense ever to come through Ohio State. To be a part of that stuff with my teammates is an honor."
Coach Urban Meyer has said that Brown is among the players who made the biggest strides under him. Meyer is friends with several NFL coaches, which can only help Brown find a home in pro football.
Roby on union
Former Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby hadn't kept up with the push by Northwestern players to form a labor union in hopes of being designated as employees, but he is sympathetic to the cause.
Roby said that as intense as college programs are now, "I feel it's just like the NFL. It's about results. It's about winning. That's what the game is about.
"The training is hard. There's a lot of things you have to do as a college athlete: classes, working out, performing week-in and week-out."
Some players don't have the financial means to live comfortably on what a scholarship provides, he said.
"The sheer amount of money that athletes make for universities, it's like, man, we've got to have more than just a scholarship," Roby said. "At the end of the day, you can have a scholarship and still not have food. Not everybody comes from a decent background."
Hyde hampered
Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde suffered a setback while running the 40-yard dash.
Hyde finished in 4.66 seconds after pulling up with an apparent injury to his left hamstring during his first attempt of the day. Hyde, who hopes to be a first-round draft pick, will get another chance to run the 40 for NFL scouts during Ohio State's pro day on March 7.

During my first trip to Afghanistan as Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues, I was struck by something one woman said to me during a meeting with a group of female civil society actors in Kabul. She said, "Stop looking at us as victims, but rather as the leaders that we are."
That thought always comes to mind when I meet other Afghan women -- as I often do -- who have defied the odds, made sacrifices, and have emerged as leaders, activists and advocates in so many areas, working to advance not just the rights of women and girls, but the future of their country. This week, I once again had the privilege of speaking with a group of dynamic and dedicated Afghan women, this time from Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan, via a video teleconference arranged by U.S. diplomats and military, including members of the U.S. Army's Female Engagement Teams, serving in Afghanistan.
A group of 16 women gathered in Jalalabad to take part in this conversation. They included journalists, teachers, human rights defenders, entrepreneurs, civil service and health workers, an elected member of a Provincial Council as well as Nangarhar's Director of Women's Affairs. They exemplify the diverse ways Afghan women are using their own talents to contribute to their society. One woman, for example, consults with prosecutors and police to assure that the judicial system treats women fairly. Another is a manager of a woman-run radio station that uses media as a tool to raise awareness of domestic violence and gender equality. The youngest participant is a recent university graduate who participated in an exchange program in the United States last summer. When she returned from her trip, she created a women's association at Nangarhar University that now has 30 female members. She later received an Embassy Kabul small grant which she is using to create ten home businesses for disabled and vulnerable women in her province.
We had a very frank and productive conversation about how they see the role and status of women in their country, the importance of having women participate fully in the political process and in the upcoming elections, and ways they can ensure the hard-won gains they have made over the past decade are not reversed when international forces turn over responsibilities to the Afghan National Security Forces in 2014.
Women's rights are enshrined in their Constitution and over 25 percent of seats in the Afghan National Assembly are filled by women. Afghan women today live an average of 15 years longer than they did a decade ago and fewer women are dying in child birth. Educational opportunities for women and girls have expanded considerably: nearly 40 percent of students enrolled in schools are girls and 120,000 female students have graduated from secondary schools in the last five years alone. About 40,000 young women are enrolled in public and private universities, with more enrolling each year. These gains are helping to lay the foundation for continued progress.
Not surprisingly, however, these Afghan women leaders, like so many others, are worried about the future as the transition goes forward. Yet, they also have concrete ideas for ways the international community can continue to support them and where best to focus efforts.
The women urged that U.S. leaders and the international community continue to work with the Afghan government to ensure that the judicial system is responsive , perpetrators of crimes are prosecuted, and that Afghan security forces protect women from violence and abuse. In terms of political participation, they believe that women must be engaged at all levels to fully participate as voters, candidates, polling staff and searchers. They also expressed a pressing need for capacity-building to be effective candidates and officials. They described the importance of an independent media and urged strengthening of women-run radio stations which often provide the only viable space for women's voices to be heard and for women to receive critical information.
They also want to play a greater role in the economic sector. They pointed out that women need jobs because, with their own income, they will be more empowered in the home and be less vulnerable to domestic violence or abuse. They favored affirmative efforts by companies who are investing in Afghanistan and opening businesses to hire greater numbers of women to fill the jobs. They also focused on the importance of education as a bedrock investment and described the need for an increase in programs to enable disadvantaged girls to become better equipped to succeed in school, as well as -- at the other end of the spectrum -- the need for greater opportunities for young women to have access to higher education.
These were just some of the ideas they shared with us. It was clear throughout our discussion that any commitment to Afghanistan's future must go hand-in-hand with a continuing commitment to the Afghan women. After all, no country can get ahead and no potential for peace will be realized if more than half the population -- its women -- are marginalized or left behind.
Hekmatullah S. in Afghanistan writes:
The best way to build the country is supporting women larger participation. Their role is valuable.
Brian H. in Michigan writes:
The closing sentence is very important.
After all, no country can get ahead and no potential for peace will be realized if more than half the population -- its women -- are marginalized or left behind.
I agree completely, but the men can't be left behind or feel they are left behind either if there is going to be peace. I have seen articles describing how schools are built for girls in areas where there are no schools for boys and the friction this causes. I would think the US would be aware of that while it may be more culturally accepted in Afghanistan that boys have more rights than girls, neither have the infrastructure to succeed. While the rights of women and girls certainly need to be guaranteed and improved, men and boys must not be marginalized in the process. This is especially dangerous in countries with weak central governments.
Nhung in Vietnam writes:
In my opinion,no country can get ahead and no potential for peace will be realized if more than half the population-its women are marginalized or left behind. Furthermore, The best way to build the country is to support Educational opportunities for women and girls because of their roles in society.
Thanks for your work and reflections, Ambassador Verveer. We do have signs of hope imbedded in the lives of these women who have historically defied the odds, supported one another another and sustained their nation.
Learning from them and assisting them sustains our impact and effectiveness.
