The Mysteries of Frankie DePaula
Frankie DePaula, New Jersey boxer, died thirty-five years ago from complications arising from the wounds inflicted on him four months after an assassination attempt in a Jersey City alley way. His death, in many ways, was arguably the inevitable culmination of his frequently wayward lifestyle; a lifestyle that accommodated an active association with known criminals.
It is often said that the raison detre of boxing is to serve as a route out of the 'ghetto' and in a sense aid in removing oneself from the vices of the deprived environment from which one hails. In Frankie's case, boxing seemed only to further boost his leaning to criminality.
When Frankie fought Dick Tiger in October 1968, he floored the former world's middle and light heavyweight champion with his vaunted right hand on two occasions. But Tiger dragged himself up and returned the favour; forcing Frankie to lift himself off the rosin covered canvas at Madison Square Garden twice. Frankie lost that bout and seemingly his chance of elevating himself to a title shot.
Fate would intervene -for the better it seemed- because Harry Markson, the Garden's director of boxing and his matchmaker, Teddy Brenner appreciated his all out action style and not least the money which another visit from DePaula's supporters promised to bring. Yet the world light heavyweight championship bout delivered to Frankie would bring about not redemption, but instead may have in fact sealed Frankie's fate.
Frankie's death is officially unsolved and conflicting theories have arisen ever since as to why DePaula was targeted: Frankie was sleeping with the mistress of a Mafia don. Frankie spoke indiscreetly about his activities with so-called 'wise guys'. Frankie was about to squeal or did in fact squeal to the 'Feds'.
Questions remain. Did Frankie have anything to do with the theft of electrolyte copper going across state lines? Did Frankie throw the title fight with Bob Foster?
Part of the key, it seems, may relate to his January 1969 encounter with Bob Foster.
To understand Frankie is to understand the environment he grew up in. The Jersey City of Frankie's youth and adulthood was composed of largely working men and women of Italian, Irish and German heritage.
The traits of communal solidarity within it brought the benefits of dutifulness and respect among neighbours. But such security came with the caveat that people minded their own business and did not peer too deeply into each other's personal affairs.
The goal of most people, like it was with their immigrant forebears, was to 'get ahead.' The problem was that such means did not always accord with the dictates of the law and the virtues of the Roman Catholicism many professed to follow.
Indeed, a culture of corruption permeated the city, which from the early part of the twentieth century operated its version of American 'bossism;' the dispensing of political and economic patronage via a 'strongman' mayoral figure.
While New York had Tammany Hall and Chicago City Hall, Jersey City had Frank Hague. That corruption and corrupt practices should become entrenched is no surprise, as Hague reigned for a 30-year period which also witnessed the rise of the Mob in the big cities of America.
Frankie, himself was born eight years before the end of Hague's reign, was from an early age a risk-taker as well as a fighter. As a youngster he would as part of a dare, deliberately run into oncoming cars whose drivers, breaking furiously, would be astounded at the sight of him bouncing off their bonnets before he scrambled himself away in great haste.
There were many punch-ups at school, but despite his waywardness, it was easy to like him. Several acts of transgression were due to his need to right what he perceived to be the wrongs done to his family, friends or neighbours. He is fondly recalled as a sort of a Robin Hood figure who when established as a prizefighter, would head back to his roots and settle accounts with landlords who were owed money by people he grew up with.
Frankie is credited with eradicating the sale of heroin from the local pool hall that he frequented. The dealers were fearful of confronting him. Frankie also made time for extended family relations like the cousin who has home movies that have Frankie shadow boxing with him and childhood friends at his birthday party in a small overcrowded living room.
Nevertheless, Frankie grew up, like many of his contemporaries, 'looking for an angle'. Looking to 'score.' Rather illustrative of this is the nationwide college basketball betting scandal that took place in 1961. Many, perhaps the majority, of the main players in the fix were a network of Jersey City collegians; one of who had been a classmate of Frankie's in grammar school.
Another went to Frankie's school while a great many were known to him. Frankie himself would do time in Rahway prison. His career was certainly disrupted in one form or another given the fact that his record shows that he did not fight between November 1963 and September 1966.
All this must be borne in mind when considering whether Frankie was capable of throwing a fight in which he had at least a puncher's chance in dethroning the formidable Bob Foster. Why throw a fight that presented him with the opportunity of making himself a world champion; the goal, surely, that every fighter aspires to when they first lace up a pair of gloves?
Frankie by all accounts trained well for the bout but as the fight grew closer there were signs of unease. There are those who distinctly recall a diminishing in his level of bravado on the eve of the fight.
Also at the weigh-in, Frankie's manager, the irascible Al Braverman, recalled Frankie's reluctance to engage Foster in eye-to-eye contact. He had, he claimed, used every trick in the book to get Frankie to go through with the event. Was he scared of Foster? Or was he demonstrating, palpably, his turmoil at what might have been going on behind the scenes?
For those who witnessed Frankie knock men unconscious in the ring and outside the ring with his right, it would be inconceivable for Frankie to know fear, or at least to so visibly exhibit it. But even they might understand this if they knew that Frankie was under orders to throw the fight and well knew what would befall him if he did not follow such orders.
The fight in the Garden started off fast. Frankie, the hairy, stocky Italian raced towards the on rushing tall and gangly African-American Foster. Frankie characteristically turned and twisted and quickly scored with a brief set of combinations to Foster's body. Whether fighting out of determination or desperation, Frankie slammed a shot into the champion's side, which caused him to tumble over.
It tends to look like a flash knockdown. Foster, whose lightness at 171 pounds gave him an at times deceptive aura of fragility, was unhurt and bounded up fairly quickly. Foster soon had Frankie on the canvas with a short left hook cum uppercut. But Frankie had been hurt earlier on by a more cleanly delivered punch. Foster, who continued to set Frankie up with his jabbing, followed up with combinations that dropped Frankie a second time.
The third knockdown was the culmination of a furious series of combinations Foster administered to the body; a vicious right putting Frankie down. Despite the power, Frankie still appeared 'fresh' and certainly capable of fighting on, but the fight was automatically stopped due to the 'Three Knock Down Rule' being in effect. He looked disappointed, loosening his gumshield, as the referee came across the ring to him. The fight was over, almost literally, in a flash.
How does one create an analysis based on a putative fix? It may be that Frankie went in prepared to box for a time but got scared when he knocked Foster down and panicked himself into three quick descents. Could Foster have known about the fix and have been caught off guard?
Fight fixes do not need the acquiescence of both fighters -only one needs to be in the know and Foster need not have known. Absolutely no evidence indicates that Foster knew of any fix going on. He had knocked out the legendary Dick Tiger and many others with his fast and intricately leveraged shots while Frankie could not keep Tiger on the canvas for the full count.
Foster was favoured to win and while boxing is not always scientifically logical, the logic here is that if the hard punching Charlie 'The Devil' Green could take DePaula out, then so could the venomously punching Foster.
Many fans of the era are aware of the rumours of a fix, while others are not. It has not been a major point of debate because the ending did not defy the odds which favoured Foster. When the Dick Tiger-Nino Benvenuti non-title bout, which took place four months later, was put under investigation, many in the boxing press were up in arms. Sure Tiger, the underdog, caused a minor upset but not much money, they argued, had been staked on the bout. Both Tiger and Benvenuti were absolved.
The investigation was carried out by the Rackets Bureau headed by New York District Attorney Frank Hogan and his assistant, Alfred J. Scotti. Hogan had played a major part in caging boxing's Mob czar, Frankie Carbo earlier in the 1960s, but this fact and the work done by the Kefauver Committee into combating and neutralising the influence of organised crime in boxing did not convince him that the Mob was no longer involved in the sport.
Certainly, those of Frankie's generation, hardened from the facts of life in New Jersey are not dismissive of the theory that Frankie's fight with Foster could have involved a fix. In Jersey City, they were brought up to believe that 'nothing is on the level.'
This view becomes more compelling when one accepts firstly that fights which are fixed do not require both men to be aware of it. The cooperation of one is all that is required. The promise is that if you take a fall on this occasion, 'we'll take care of you in a future bout.'
Secondly, one must accept that fights which involve a fix do not all bear the same hallmarks of an underdog winning or a huge amount of money being staked in legally constituted channels.
Gangster schemers can make a killing from a fight in which the betting favourite wins when it comes to predicting the exact round in which the win will occur; so that while Foster was favoured to win, most punters may have bet on an early or later round but not on the first round at odds which could have been set at say twenty to one.
Also, a hard punching brawler like DePaula would have had a puncher's chance which would not preclude bets been wagered on his winning.
After the fight with Foster, a fight described by Teddy Brenner as the biggest mistake of his career, Frankie had been due to face Don Fullmer in an undercard bout of the May 1969 clash between Tiger and Benvenuti but had his New York license suspended after it was learnt that he had been arrested along with his manager, Gary Garafola and one Richard Phelan on suspicion of stealing $80,000 worth of copper.
As with Tiger and Benvenuti, Frankie was summoned to give evidence to a grand jury looking into boxing and criminal elements. Frankie's comment to the awaiting press was "Everybody bets a dollar or two." Nothing came out of the investigation. Neither was anything to come out of the copper theft arrest; in terms, that is, of Frankie being convicted.
When Frankie was shot and left for dead in an alleyway off Harrison Avenue, it was immediately understood to have been a Mob hit. The effect of the public arrest and inquisition by Grand Jury along with covert operations undertaken by the New York Police Department was to place Frankie under a great deal of pressure.
He knew the 'rules' of the game that one does not talk to or disclose anything to law enforcement officials, but it has been suggested that Frankie may have been killed because those around him were convinced that he was unreliable and so should be done away with as a protective measure.
Others heard that Frankie was killed on the mistaken ground that he had turned stoolpigeon while others believe his slaying to be the result of Frankie having given information to investigating police officers. The key thing again is to note that Frankie was being subjected to police surveillance by the NYPD.
Joseph Coffey, an operative for the Rackets Bureau in the 1960s and 1970s, was surveying a number of persons at a restaurant after the fight with Bob Foster. In an interview broadcast by the BBC in 2005, Coffey alleged that he became convinced that the fight had been fixed when Frankie wanted to tip a bellboy but had to ask for change because he only had $100 bills on his person.
Coffey also alleged that DePaula's killing was based on a "misunderstanding" which arose after Frankie and Garafola had been questioned in the offices of the Rackets Bureau. Frankie had apparently forgotten his coat and went back to reclaim it the following day. His movements were apparently monitored by the Brooklyn Mob who subsequently had him shot.
The truth may actually go further. In one way, Frankie appears to have served as something of a sacrificial lamb in the quest by law enforcement officials to discover a mole operating within the ranks of the NYPD. There is evidence that Frankie was caught on an FBI wiretap, placed on the table he was sitting at on the night of the Foster fight, making comments such as "we scored tonight" and that he was confronted with the evidence and manoeuvered into giving some information on the copper heist.
The mole within the NYPD had apparently been feeding information to the Brooklyn Mob and that this leak led its bosses sanctioning a hit on Frankie. Once this was confirmed, the mole was left in place but it led to the establishment of a special Task Force staffed only by members of the FBI who would in the course of time play a key role in plotting the downfall of New York Don, John Gotti.
Where does this leave the other theory of Frankie being bumped off as an act of revenge for his dalliance with a high echelon mobster's mistress? It is said that a note pinned to the front of the woman's apartment announced that the doorbell was broken and that he should enter via the back, which he could only do by negotiating his way through the alley where he was shot.
Again there may be an element of truth to this story in so far as it relates to the possibility of a woman being used to instigate the circumstances that would lead to him being cornered. Yet, some tend to doubt its credibility; basing their scepticism on the grounds that Italian families will go to any lengths to cover up any hint that the death of a family member may have been due to them being a stoolpigeon.
Certainly, to some the mere fact that a person is interviewed by the FBI and that such interview is followed up with a grand jury hearing can be tantamount to a death sentence; the process tending to give the person's Mob colleagues the jitters as to whether they will testify or not.
Whatever the truth, Frankie's aspiration to be a wise guy was always going to be doomed to failure due to his lack of smarts. He was sooner or later going to be caught out of his depth and when that happens, the price as always is death. He would have known that several of his contemporaries who were involved in the botched college basketball betting scam had hits put on their heads.
One was later killed, apparently in an incident unrelated to the scam, as a revenge for him killing a partner in a dubious enterprise. Frankie would have known that those closest to you can frequently be your executioners.
One story has Frankie acknowledging the presence of Richard Phelan and another close associate of his at the scene of the hit and on discovering them uttering: "Hey, whaddaya guys doing here?" Some claim that Phelan himself pulled the trigger that unleashed the .45 slugs that penetrated him and caused his subsequent paralysis.
Phelan was later murdered. Gary Garafola was put on trial for Frankie's killing but eventually acquitted. A female witness for the prosecution chose to read a different script mid-trial. The atmosphere in the courthouse was said to be oppressive not least because of the presence of street toughs who paraded along its hallways.
Frankie survived for a further four months during which time his condition deteriorated to the extent that he turned into an emaciated 120-pound-shell afflicted by bedsores.
In time, Frankie heard about the reasons for the hit and not knowing of the part a mole had in his undoing was convinced that he had been hit on the basis of the supposed 'misunderstanding' caused by the trip to recover his coat. Frankie even told a visitor that he had to "get to Brooklyn to straighten it all out."
Frankie never got the chance. He died in September 1970 from complications resulting from pneumonia brought about by an errant nurse leaving a window unclosed in his Jersey City Medical Center room.

I have to admit a certain unintended irony in titling a Labor Day sermon "Does It Work?", but works – having a faith that leads to taking particular actions – are the focus of James's letter to the early followers of Jesus. You could even argue that Jesus asked his disciples not to tell anyone about him because Jesus wanted people to see his impact on what the disciples did – their works – not what they said about him.
If the author of James (we'll call him James) were to time travel almost 2000 years to today, observing our culture, he would probably say not much changes. He would see the attention that media give to a soccer star's new dog or an actress's new bathing suit – or failure to give attention to so many of our neighbors right here on the corner of 24th and G every weekday – and shake his head again.
Regardless of our personal interest in the lives of the rich and famous, we are all part of a culture preoccupied with wealth and its accouterments. This cultural preoccupation is what we hear and see and eat and breathe. It affects us all differently, of course, depending on what we bring to the table.
I believe this preoccupation accounts for a big part of Donald Trump's popularity – I don't believe that it's the wealthiest folks who are Trump supporters – the Trumpists, as I found out this morning. In a time when many are worried about their own economic future, here's someone who because of his wealth, can virtually tell everyone else where he wishes they would go.
Somehow in all of my casually taking notes about Trump, hearing about his news events and diatribes, I learned that the Donald is a confirmed Presbyterian. I was shocked. Maybe I shouldn't have been. (Maybe I'm making an assumption that the kind of person who would be attracted to this church wouldn't be a Trumpist. Maybe we have a new mission field…) I have begun to think he's beyond ridiculous… what will he say next?
I've always watched Trump with my Jon Stewart glasses on, first laughing at Stewart's satire, and then thinking up my own. But I've run out of humor. Maybe because there's no Jon Stewart, Trump's foolishness is no longer funny.
I hear so much more about Syrian immigrants, refugees, fleeing from the violent takeover of their communities, being persecuted as they try to make their way across Hungary to Germany, or creating makeshift communities with no water or sanitary facilities in parks in European cities.
Or I hear about the increase in the murder rate across our cities – Milwaukee, St. Louis – with Baltimore and D.C. ranking three and four! – followed not too further by New Orleans, Chicago, Kansas City and Dallas.
Or I hear about Ms. Agnes, who is still in her tent outside my study window, being assaulted in the middle of the night last week. And I think, for the sake of God's people, we can't just sit here and shrug our shoulders and say some things never change.
Sometimes things do change, as James had probably seen happen as a result of someone's faith or a community's faith. Perhaps as one who first witnessed Jesus's particular concern for those in need, perhaps in an early church where members truly tried to move beyond distinctions based on wealth, where people realized their faith meant they had to find new ways to relate to each other that intentionally went against the influence of the rest of the Roman culture, where identity and financial worth were closely related, perhaps in just such a community of Jesus's followers who realized that it wasn't about what they said, but what they did, to show Jesus's love, James experienced the power of the gospel to change lives, not just of those in need, but of those who grew in faith as they helped others, helped each other, meet their bodily needs.
In our Protestant faith James has gotten a bad rap – by none other than Martin Luther who claimed the letter was only good for heating fuel, and he didn't mean spiritual fires. Luther heard James as preaching a kind of works-righteousness, implying that we are saved by works and not through faith, that we are good only according to what we do.
James knows our human tendency to pay more attention to the Donald Trumps doesn't stop when we come to church. For James, and for those who hear the truth in what he says, if your life has been changed by the gospel, by the good news of God's love, if you have come to know for yourself that God's love is especially for those who have experienced human injustice or poverty or shame or pain, it will make you crazy to see distinctions in church.
James would appreciate this Western's historic commitment to addressing bodily needs, to making sure faith works, to making sure that when we sing kumbayah, we have signs that God truly does come by here. I think he would also push us – as individuals, as a community – to consider what we are doing now, to keep us from throwing our hands up and shrugging our shoulders and saying some things never change.
This Labor Day, when you have hopefully ceased from your other work, I invite you to consider your faith, and ask yourself, "does it work"? Is my experience of God's love, is my belief that God loves everyone no matter what, is it being lived out in my life in some tangible way? Consider one way God might be leading you… Miriam's Kitchen volunteering… a new way to respond to a person you see all the time but never knew how to talk to. Consider how God might be leading Western… in two weeks to think and pray about how we might respond or be involved in the blacklives matter movement.
If you've never had that kind of experience of God, this is your chance. You, and anyone and everyone who longs to trust in God, whose partiality towards the poor is not because the poor are good, but because God is good, are invited to this table where all are truly welcome.

Toshiba wants to prevent memory problems among its customers.
The PC maker will offer to replace as many as 600,000 memory modules–tiny circuit boards that hold DRAM chips–used in 27 notebook models worldwide between April 2002 and April 2004. Those memory cards could potentially cause problems, such as lockups, a company representative said.
In the second major notebook memory replacement campaign in recent months by a brand name notebook maker, Toshiba will offer free replacement memory to customers whose notebooks are determined to contain the bad modules.
Toshiba says none of its current notebooks contain the potentially problematic memory. It did not make public the exact nature of the problem or which manufacturer(s) created the cards in question. The company did, however, launch a Web page on its site that contains information about the replacement program and the range of symptoms the modules might trigger.
"Under certain conditions, the subject component, provided to Toshiba by third parties…in combination with certain other components might cause notebook PCs to experience blue screens, intermittent lockups or undetected memory data corruption," Toshiba said in a statement on its Web site.
Like Hewlett-Packard, which launched a similar campaign to replace memory modules in as many as 900,000 notebooks last June, Toshiba will ask people with the 27 notebook models to download and run a utility from its Web site.
The utility will run a test and deliver instructions on how to obtain replacement memory cards, if needed, the company said. The affected models sold in the United States include Toshiba's Tecra S1, 9100, M1 and M2, as well as its Satellite 1110, 1115, 2400, 2405, M30 and M35. Its Satellite Pro M10, M15, M30 and Portege R100, M200 and M205 are also included on the list.
Toshiba said it will mail replacement memory cards to customers and provide instructions on how to install the new memory cards and mail their old cards back. It will cover shipping costs and give customers a free 32MB USB storage device.
Most memory cards in Toshiba notebooks can be replaced relatively easily; they're often located behind a door on the underside of the machine. The company, however, will offer to make the memory replacement for customers whose memory is not as accessible.
Toshiba, which shipped 4.9 million notebooks worldwide in 2003, according to IDC, declined to say whether the memory problems it discovered are related to those seen by HP.
HP in June said that under certain conditions, a circuit design flaw in memory modules from a number of manufacturers could cause Windows operating system "blue screens," intermittent lockups or memory corruption. The HP problem required a specific combination of components, including a memory module with the flawed circuit design and one of several Intel chipsets and Pentium processors that supported a certain low-power state dubbed C3.
Indeed, it's difficult to say whether the problems could be related, said Richard Gordon, an analyst at Gartner.
"There's no story going around in the DRAM industry that suggests it's a DRAM issue," he said. "We haven't heard anything on the DRAM (chip) side, so it could be anything from the module to the system."
The Toshiba replacement program will run through April 2005, the company said.
Toshiba isn't the only manufacturer to replace notebook memory. In 2000, Dell launched a program to replace defective memory chips used in up to 400,000 of its Latitude notebooks.

Raiders Trade Sio Moore To Colts For Sixth-Round Draft Pick
September 4, 2015 Shawn Jonas	Leave a comment
The Oakland Raiders traded Linebacker Sio Moore to the Indianapolis Colts for a sixth-round draft pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. The Raiders confirmed the trade on Saturday.
Moore, a third-round pick in 2013, started 22 games in two seasons with the Raiders.
Earlier Friday, Moore said goodbye to his teammates and Raiders fans:

Oakland Raiders Coach Jack Del Rio Speaks To Media After Day 2 Of Training Camp
Napa Valley, California – Head Coach Jack Del Rio spoke on a number of topics to the media after Saturday's session of on-field work at the Oakland Raiders Napa Valley Training Complex.
End Of Acclimation Practices
Head Coach Jack Del Rio
"That right there is the last of our acclimation practices, now we can actually put the pads on tomorrow, so we'll do that. I thought it was a pretty solid day's work. So much to get done, but energy was good. I think having the pretty good crowd out there today was nice. The game's played in pads, so you really can't get a full evaluation until you get your team in pads and see them compete. That's the next part, so we're excited to get that phase going and that'll be part of what we do."
THE YOUNG DEFENSIVE BACKS
The decision in free agency by Reggie McKenzie to stay with the young defensive backs that he already had on the roster is one up for debate. Coach Del Rio feels that he and his staff can develop the group.
ON THE FIELD REPORTS SHAWN JONAS ASKS COACH:
Your young defensive backs did pretty well out there today. How confident are you feeling in that group right now?
"We feel like we have a group there that has a chance to develop. Some young, talented guys, physically-talented guys that need work. They're going to get that. It's going to be a very competitive camp and we'll let them be developed, be coached, let them compete against each other and let the guys who are the most productive play the most. We feel like we have a good young group."
HIGHLIGHT PLAYS FROM THE DEFENSIVE BACKS ON DAY 2
Newly acquired free agent Nate Allen picked off a pass from Derek Carr intended for Michael Crabtree. Carr scrambled to his right on the play trying to buy some time for someone to get open. He tried to drop it over the top, but Allen made a nice play on the ball.
Second year corner back out of Utah Keith McGill punched a ball out from rookie Amari Cooper. The forced fumble created by McGill was recovered by second year corner back TJ Carrie.
LINEBACKER SIO MOORE RETURNS
"We need to find out what he can bring. I haven't really seen him full tilt, but he is active now. He has joined the team again now in a full-go capacity and so I'll get to learn more about him. We'll learn more as we go with him. We need all of our players to grow, and to improve and to become great teammates, and he's no different."
Del Rio Talks The Importance Of His Coaches Ability To Teach
"I think we've assembled a great group of teachers, so we're busy teaching. There was a segment there, prior to the field goal-kicking segment, about two periods before the end, it was like a 15-minute teaching period, and in that you're seeing individual coaching going on, and individual techniques being stressed. As we get the pads on, some of that will be a little more physical in nature, but the bottom line is we believe in fundamentals. We're going to stress fundamentals and we have a staff that understands that and are good teachers."
RODNEY HUDSON LEADERSHIP
"It helps if the center is that type of guy, because basically it all starts with him. He's going to make the calls. He's going to snap the ball, so every play starts with him. I knew that he was, I think, an emerging player in the league, having gone against him twice a year. I felt like he was one of, if not the best, centers in the league and had a lot of respect for his game and so we were able to acquire him and I'm very excited about that."

The Oakland Raiders third-year Linebacker Sio Moore will open training camp on the physically unable to perform list. The Raiders confirmed the news on www.Raiders.com as well as the NFL's Adam Caplan with this tweet.
Moore had surgery on his hip late last season and went on the injured reserve list Dec. 16. Moore's offseason program has included very little on-field time as he rehabbed the injury.
The third-round draft pick out of UConn, has played in 26 games with 140 tackles in two season in Oakland. Ray-Ray Armstrong will likely fill the void left by Moore with the first team when camp begins. Ex-Seahawks LB and Superbowl MVP Malcolm Smith is also an option at the position.
Napa Valley, Ca.– Moore reported to camp at the Napa Valley Marriott with the rookies, quarterbacks and other players rehabbing due to injury on Sunday. With the first practice scheduled for Friday the Veterans will report on Thursday.
The Raiders can activate Moore any time they feel he is ready. Until then, he will not count toward the 90 players on the camp roster.

Starosty () ist ein Dorf in der polnischen Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren und gehört zur Landgemeinde Wieliczki (Wielitzken, 1938 bis 1945 Wallenrode) im Powiat Olecki (Kreis Oletzko, 1933 bis 1945 Kreis Treuburg).

Geographische Lage
Starosty liegt am Flüsschen Lega im Osten der Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren, zehn Kilometer südöstlich der Kreisstadt Olecko (Marggrabowa, umgangssprachlich auch Oletzko, 1928 bis 1945 Treuburg).

Geschichte
Im Jahre 1538 wurde Starosten gegründet. Zwischen 1874 und 1945 war das Dorf in den Amtsbezirk Nordenthal () eingegliedert, der – 1938 in "Amtsbezirk Nordental" umbenannt – zum Kreis Oletzko (1933 bis 1945 Kreis Treuburg) im Regierungsbezirk Gumbinnen der preußischen Provinz Ostpreußen gehörte.

Die Zahl der Einwohner belief sich im Jahre 1910 auf 111. Sie stieg bis 1933 auf 243 und betrug 208 im Jahre 1939.

Aufgrund der Bestimmungen des Versailler Vertrags stimmte die Bevölkerung im Abstimmungsgebiet Allenstein, zu dem Starosten gehörte, am 11. Juli 1920 über die weitere staatliche Zugehörigkeit zu Ostpreußen (und damit zu Deutschland) oder den Anschluss an Polen ab. In Starosten stimmten 94 Einwohner für den Verbleib bei Ostpreußen, auf Polen entfiel keine Stimme.

Am 3. Juni (amtlich bestätigt am 16. Juli) des Jahres 1938 wurde Starosten aus politisch-ideologischen Gründen der Abwehr fremdländisch klingender Ortsnamen in "Müllersbrück" umbenannt.

In Kriegsfolge kam das Dorf 1945 mit dem gesamten südlichen Ostpreußen zu Polen und trägt seitdem die polnische Namensform "Starosty". Heute ist das Dorf eine Ortschaft im Verbund der Gmina Wieliczki (Wielitzken, 1938 bis 1945 Wallenrode) im Powiat Olecki (Kreis Oletzko, 1933 bis 1945 Kreis Treuburg), vor 1998 der Woiwodschaft Suwałki, seither der Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren zugehörig.

Kirche
Vor 1945 war Starosten resp. Müllersbrück in die evangelische Kirche Wielitzken in der Kirchenprovinz Ostpreußen der Kirche der Altpreußischen Union sowie in die katholische Kirche Marggrabowa (Treuburg) im Bistum Ermland eingepfarrt.

Heute gehört Starosty zur katholischen Pfarrkirche Wieliczki mit der Filialkirche Kleszczewo (Kleszöwen, 1936 bis 1938 Kleschöwen, 1938 bis 1945 Kleschen) im Bistum Ełk der Römisch-katholischen Kirche in Polen. Die evangelischen Einwohner halten sich zu den Kirchen in Ełk (Lyck) bzw. Suwałki innerhalb der Diözese Masuren der Evangelisch-Augsburgischen Kirche in Polen.

Verkehr
Starosty ist über einen Landweg zu erreichen, der von Nowy Młyn (Neumühl) aus in den Ort führt. Ein Bahnanschluss besteht nicht.

5A baseball final: Crescent Valley rolls to title
Raiders get massive performance on mound from Noah Dewey to capture first-ever state championship
June 4, 2022 by John Tawa, OSAAtoday
Noah Dewey struck out nine in a command performance to hurl Crescent Valley to the 5A title (Jon Olson)
At the end of April, Crescent Valley faced Mid-Willamette Conference rival Lebanon in a two-game series. Lebanon won handily, 11-4 and 8-4.
Crescent Valley wasn't really in either game. The Raiders gave up five in the first inning in the first game and got down 4-0 early in the second game.
On Saturday morning, at a soggy Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer, Crescent Valley won the one that mattered most.
The Corvallis school dominated in every phase, shutting out Lebanon on three hits, 6-0, to win their first state 5A title at the OSAA / OnPoint Community Credit Union Baseball State Championships.
Noah Dewey, one of eight seniors, was the star of stars for Crescent Valley. The 6-6 right hander pitched into the seventh inning, allowing just two hits while striking out nine. He owned the outer half of the plate with a fastball he kept down and away in the zone and a tight-spinning slider. Dewey also contributed a double and RBI single his first two times at the plate.
"This has been the dream since Day 1 of the season," Dewey said. "We've been wanting this championship for a while."
"We had beaten Noah earlier in the year but he was a different guy today," said Lebanon coach Jeff Stolsig. "He had his slider working. Hats off to Noah. He threw really well."
In April, when Lebanon ran through Crescent Valley, the idea of even making the playoffs appeared remote. The Raiders were 10-9 and on a four-game losing streak when they started a two-game series with tough Silverton.
"Before Silverton, I told the guys, 'We have to start winning ballgames to make the playoffs,'" said fourth-year head coach Scot McDonald. "We went 10-1 after that point. They banded together."
Crescent Valley won those games, 8-0 and 5-2.
"We knew that we needed to focus if we wanted to make the playoffs," added senior 1B Garrett Bozdeck. "We have such a huge senior team; we were thinking, 'This is our last shot. Let's make a run for it.' We played well against Silverton and thought, 'If we can beat that team by a lot we can beat any team.'"
The start of Saturday's game was pushed back 30 minutes to allow the early-morning work on the field by the grounds crew to take effect in cloudy and cool conditions. When the game started, it was accompanied by a steady drizzle that lingered throughout, occasionally turning into a harder rain.
Ryan Rivers, a hard-throwing junior with a 0.46 ERA coming in, started the game for Lebanon and seemed unfazed by the conditions. The righty showed command in a scoreless first inning, working around Dewey's two-out double by getting cleanup hitter Luey Campos to strike out looking on four pitches, Rivers' second backwards K of the frame.
Dewey matched Rivers' goose egg in the bottom of the first. With one away, he gave up a hot shot to Bryant Starr that SS TJ Deen snagged going to his right, but Deen's throw was wide of first and bounded out of play, putting Starr in scoring position on second. Deen made up for the miscue by successfully fielding the next two ground balls to get the Raiders out of the inning unscathed.
Crescent Valley (20-10) struck first in the top of the second, thanks to shoddy Lebanon defense. Caleb Kelley coaxed a walk out of Rivers on a 3-2 count to lead off the inning. Kelley then stole second with one out, which proved crucial, because Kelley was able to score when Zach Escobar's slow roller to second got under the glove of Zach Lyon. Rivers got out of the inning without further damage, with a ground out and his fourth strike out of the game.
Crescent Valley added to its lead with two runs in the top of the third. Landen Parker drew a leadoff walk to start the frame and got to second on a steal aided by a crafty slide around the tag. Parker scored when Dewey fought off a two-strike breaking ball into right field for an RBI single. Garrett Bozdeck plated CV's third run with a two-out single down the third base line.
Dewey, meanwhile, was cruising along. He set down eight in a row after Starr reached, allowing Crescent Valley to go to the fourth inning in command, up 3-0.
In Lebanon's dugout, Stolsig was wondering when Lebanon was going to surge. He was confident it would happen at some point. It had happened all season long.
"We've been behind early in games and we've been behind late and we always seemed to rally," he explained. "They did a good job of keeping us down. We didn't get the breaks we needed to. We didn't have that moment today when we broke loose."
Lebanon (23-5) had a great shot to score in the bottom of the fourth, when Dewey hit both Starr and Rivers with off speed pitches to put two on with no out. The bulldog righty fanned the next two batters and faced Lebanon catcher Matt Woodward looking to get out of the inning. Woodward hit a 1-2 pitch hard towards short. The ball seemed ticketed for left to drive in two, but it hit his teammate, pinch runner Caleb Rickman, trying to advance to third. Rickman was ruled out for interference and, by rule, Woodward was credited with a single, Lebanon's first hit of the game.
One inning later, Lebanon benefited from a throwing error and walk to put two on with one out against Dewey, but the hurler struck out Warrior leadoff hitter Colton Vandetta for the third straight time and induced Starr to pop out to right to escape the threat.
In the sixth, Rivers led off with a hard single to left. The promising start, however, fizzled when Tucker Cleveland made a nice scoop at the second base bag to force Rivers. Lebanon's next two hitters went down as well, ensuring that Crescent Valley would carry at least a three-run lead to the bottom of the seventh.
Crescent Valley would double that by the time Lebanon got to bat one final time. Double was the operative word of the inning, because the Raiders ripped three in the top of the seventh to produce three runs.
Walker Still got things started by greeting Starr, who had relieved Rivers; with a long double to center on the first pitch he saw. One out later, Campos doubled down the left field line to plate one insurance run. Campos then stole third and Caleb Kelley walked for the second time in the game, putting Raiders on the corners.
That brought Tyler Walker in to pitch to Bozdeck.
Bozdeck was ready.
"I went up there thinking this is probably my last at bat as a senior," he explained. "I'm going to go up there and swing for the fence. I got a first pitch fastball. That's what I was sitting. I just turned and burned."
The scalded ball hit the base of the wall in left, driving in two more.
The 6-0 score appeared insurmountable, especially since Lebanon had generated just two singles to that point.
Dewey came out for the seventh and struck out a pinch hitter looking, but departed after giving up a one-out walk to CF Henry Pointer. McDonald gave his ace a huge hug before handing the ball to Parker to close it out.
Dewey's final line: 6.1 innings, two hits, two walks, two HBP, ZERO runs, nine Ks over 111 pitches. It was sweet redemption after giving up five first-inning runs the last time he faced Lebanon.
"My attitude was I'm going to strike out every player who comes to bat," Dewey said. "I wasn't worried about giving up hits. All was thinking is, 'I'm going to get you out.'"
Parker struck out the first batter he faced, but Vandetta stroked a single to center, delaying the celebration by one batter. Starr then grounded into a force play, Dewey at short to Cleveland at second.
The dogpile at the mound was epic.
"As eighth graders we came and the 2018 team was here and we watched them lose," Bozdeck said. "We thought, 'That's going to be us in four years.' I think it was that determination to come back, give it another shot, come out, compete… look what happened."
"The win means everything," Dewey added. "All these guys we've been playing with since middle school…it's the best feeling in the world to win the last game of the season."
Lebanon, which entered the game on a 10-game winning streak and was seeking its initial state title in its first trip to the championship game, finished with just three hits in 25 plate appearances. Most games, that's not nearly enough against an opponent playing clean baseball.
"We intended to win," Stolsig said. "Our guys are competitors. They are not happy with the result. The best team doesn't always win; it's the team that plays the best that day. They played better than we did today."
Even so, it was a season of firsts for the Warriors, who had never even reached the state semifinals before this season.
"I'm super proud of these guys," Stolsig said. "They did a great job of competing all year long. What I love most is they're not going out of here satisfied. They expect more of themselves and will come back strong."
The box score shows Bozdeck, Dewey and Campos with two hits apiece for Crescent Valley and all five RBIs. This was, however, a total team effort. Everybody in the lineup got on base at least once, except for the middle infield, and they both came up big defensively. That's how you win championships, especially when you have horses on the mound like Dewey and Parker.
"All during the playoffs, Landon and Noah got after it," McDonald explained. "Our big thing was: throw strikes, no free bases and we'll play defense behind you. They did it."

Review – Hotshot Racing
Posted on September 8, 2020 by Leo Faria Leave a comment
One of my fondest and earliest gaming memories back in my childhood was going to the local arcade parlor to play some classic racing cabinets such as Virtua Racing, Daytona USA, and Ridge Racer. I lament that this kind of racing game is pretty much extinct nowadays: fast-paced, with simple controls and physics, with an emphasis on colorful visuals, checkpoints, and drifting. Curve Digital and Sumo Digital's Hotshot Racing is trying to bring the joy of retro arcade racing back. Let's see if they managed to deliver, because we can't wait forever until Sega decides to revive their racing franchises, right?
Learn how to drift. It will be absolutely essential.
Hotshot Racing tries really to provide players with the sensation of playing a racing game that wouldn't feel completely out of place had it been released in 1993. Despite being way more detailed than its main sources of inspiration, at least graphically, it still retains the same blocky, low-poly art style that basically became synonymous with most of Sega's earlier "Virtua" arcade games, be it Racing or Fighter. I really appreciated the designs of all cars included in here, some of them being blatant nods to Sega's classic 1992 arcade, as well as the lightning fast framerate. It might not exactly be as charming as those games, but it got the job done, at least in regards to its visuals.
The game plays more like an amalgamation of Virtua Racing with Ridge Racer. The physics are obviously much simpler than more realistic racing games, but there's still a huge emphasis on knowing when to brake and drifting, as this is how you'll be able to fill up your boost meter. This is absolutely necessary, as Hotshot Racing is a challenging game. You'll need to learn when and how to properly drift and unleash your boost, as the AI is relentless, even on the easiest setting. That makes the game not the best recommendation if you're simply looking for a laid back racing pastime, but considering its arcade roots, that's not a problem at all.
I love that all cars in this game are easily recognizable, despite being comprised of just a few polygons.
You earn a lot of money by winning races, which you can spend on new car parts and liveries. You cannot modify their stats, though: everything is completely cosmetic, and a lot of parts and skins can only be unlocked by initially completing some simple challenges, such as winning a set amount of races with a specific car, or managing to drift continuously for five seconds (which is easier said than done). There are a few extra modes included in Hotshot Racing as well. One of them involves ramming cars and making them explode, in a Burnout-esque fashion. Another mode pays homage to older games from the Need for Speed franchise, being literally called "Cops and Robbers". If you miss the good old Hot Pursuit days, then this is a must for you.
If there's one weak aspect in Hotshot Racing, however, that's its sound design. The soundtrack isn't bad per se, depending on which track you're currently on, but the game relies way too much on voice clips. All drivers are fully voiced and they simply won't shut up during races. They range from a stereotypical preppy British boy, to a cold Russian, and a Jamaican racer with the most exaggerated (and fake) patois I have ever heard in my life. If you were hoping for some as good as the soundtrack from the old Daytona USA games, you're not getting them here, sadly.
It's not a new Daytona USA, but it'll do for the time being.
Hotshot Racing is a nice throwback to the heyday of stimulating and cheerful arcade racers of the early 90's. It's as challenging as your average Ridge Racer or Virtua Racing, but sadly, nowhere near as charming. Although I appreciate what Curve Digital and Sumo Digital have come up with, all that Hotshot Racing really manage to achieve was make me angry that Sega still hasn't decided to port 2017's Daytona Championship USA to current-gen consoles.
Graphics: 7.0
Hotshot Racing aims to emulate the same low-poly art style from Virtua Racing. For the most part, it succeeds, but its courses are way too detailed for a game that tries so hard to look retro, ironically enough. I did appreciate the car designs and the high framerate, though.
Gameplay: 7.5
It's a mix between Virtua Racing and Ridge Racer. It's a bit less loose than those two games, but it gets the job done at the end of the day.
Sound: 6.0
The soundtrack is quite good for the most part, depending on which track you're racing on. What bogs the sound design down is the excessive usage of cringy voice clips.
Fun Factor: 7.0
It is a fun throwback to classic arcade racers from the early 90's, with a high difficulty curve and lots of items to unlock. It's nowhere near as charming as its sources of inspiration, however.
Final Verdict: 7.0
Hotshot Racing is available now on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch.

Nobska Light
Nobska Light, originally called Nobsque Light, also known as Nobska Point Light is a lighthouse located near the division between Buzzards Bay, Nantucket Sound, and Vineyard Sound in the settlement of Woods Hole, Massachusetts on the southwestern tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.[2][3][4] It overlooks Martha's Vineyard and Nonamesset Island. The light station was established in 1826, with the tower protruding above the keeper's house, and was replaced in 1876 by the current 42 foot tall iron tower. The light station was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Nobska Point Light Station in 1987.

Description and historyEdit
Nobska Point, 2005
Nobska Light is set at the very southwestern tip of Cape Cod, separated from the shore by Nobska Road. The light station includes four buildings: the tower, the keeper's house, a radio beacon house, and a small oil house. The tower has a brick interior and a metal exterior, formed out of four rings of iron paneling, and rises to a height of 40 feet (12 m). The first three panels each have a single sash window with an Italianate surround, while the fourth level sports four porthole windows. The tower is topped by a ten-sided lantern house with an iron balcony and railing encircling it. A wood frame entry vestibule with gable roof projects toward the keeper's house. The oil house is a small brick structure with a gable roof, while the radio beacon house is a larger brick structure, also with a gable roof.[5]
The light station was established in 1828, with the original light mounted on top of the keeper's house. In 1876 the present tower was built, along with one portion of the keeper's house and the oil house. The keeper's house was built in two stages, and was built to house both a keeper and an assistant. It is a 1-1/2 story Cape style wood frame house, whose older section was built in 1876; the other half was built in 1905. A central single-story cross-gable wing extends toward the tower, with enclosed porches on either side.[5]
In 1937, a 125-foot steel radiobeacon tower was installed and the reed horn fog signal replaced with a diaphragm over the next decade. In 1939 the United States Coast Guard replaced the U.S. Lighthouse Service as the agency responsible for maintaining the light but a civilian light keeper remained on site until November 1973 and was replaced by the Coast Guard. Before Joseph Hindley retired, he may have been the last civilian light keeper in New England.[6][7]
In 1985 the lighthouse was automated and the last keeper retired. His house was converted into the residence for the Commanding Officer of United States Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1] In 2012, the house was deemed in need of serious maintenance and was discontinued as a residence.
Light keepersEdit
Over the years, the following were the principal light keepers; some had previously been assistant keepers.[6]
Peter Daggett (1828-1849)
William Davis (1849-1853)
William Ferguson Jr. (1853-1861)
Frederick Ray (1861-1874)
Oliver A. Nickerson (1874-1911)
George I. Cameron (1911-1913)
George L.Lyon (1913-1929)
John M. Scharff (1929-1955)
Osborne E. Hallett (1955–1968)
Joseph G. Hindley (1968–1972)
Gary Williams (1972-1983)
Charles Tebo (1983–1985)
Current statusEdit
In 2015, the Coast Guard decided to offer the light station to municipalities, non-profits or, lacking either of these, for private sale. Four organizations in Falmouth concerned with historic preservation banded together under the aegis of the Town of Falmouth to form a new non-profit to bid for the license for the lighthouse and its 2.3 acres site. The Town of Falmouth's application was accepted by the Coast Guard in September 2015 and the parties entered into a licensing process that is anticipated to be completed early in 2016.[8]
The Town's plan is to hand over renovation and maintenance to the non-profit created for this purpose, the Friends of Nobska Light, which, when the restoration is complete, will operate the lighthouse as a museum open to the public for free. Nobska will then join the 100+ lighthouses in the country that have passed from federal to local and private management since global positioning systems and other improvement to navigation reduced the need for manned lighthouses. The Friends of Nobska Light hope to offer tours of the light keeper's house by 2020. The tower may be open for tours in the summer of 2017. In the meantime, the site can be visited but not toured; a small parking lot is available.[9][6] By late March 2017, the Friends of Nobska Light had raised roughly $66,000 but were planning to ask the Town to provide the approximately $265,000 still required to proceed with the restoration.[10]

Awhile back I mentioned a critiquing exercise I found very helpful in improving my own writing. I also offered to critique a post for anyone interested. Two people have taken me up on the offer and today I present my second blog critique, this time for Jack Robinson who posts at College Cram.
If you missed it here's my last blog critique for Rudy, who also blogs at College Cram.
I looked at Jack's post Global Warming: Science, Opinion, or Faith?, which asks us to investigate the science behind global warming instead of debating the issue on the basis of emotional or political opinion.
Click on the first link at the top of this post for a full rundown of the exercise, but the general idea of this kind of critique is to underline portions of the text you like and add squgglys beneath the parts you don't like. Questions about grammar and punctuation get circled. As with the last critique I used green in place of underlines and red in place of squigglys and I omitted the circles. I'm also making the Word Document with all the marks available for download.
The part of the critique I find most useful is the three things I liked and the three suggestions for improvement, which I'll present here (They're also included in the Word Doc). You'll likely find it helpful to read Jack's post through the link above or via the Word Document for everything below to make sense. I promise it won't take you long and I'll still be here when you get back.
The article looks at a well known issue from a different perspective. It doesn't choose a side in the global warming debate like most articles on the subject, but encourages the debate to be based on facts instead of emotions. While I think I have a sense of which side the author stands on the debate, whether the author is pro or con in regards to global warming solutions is kept in the background, as it's not important to the point of the article. It could be a tricky balance to maintain, but it's done very well here. Too much pro or con opinion on global warming would obscure the point of the article. The right balance is maintained here.
The story about Earth Day pulls me into the article. The first person account of the day makes the issues more relevant to me on a personal level instead of keeping them only on a global scale. The personal account does lend some emotional response to an article arguing against making decisions emotionally, but does so without losing its way. The emotion is brought into the article, but still kept separate from the the issue of global warming itself. It works by adding it to a section that discusses something related, but not specifically the main issue.
The quote by Mark Twain is a perfect match for the point the article is trying to make and lends an air of authority to everything that follows.
Since the theme of the article is to debate global warming based on facts I'd like to see some of the facts in the article itself. There's a link to the theory of global warming at the end. Links to more sources would be helpful.
What might also be interesting would be to have some of the facts interspersed throughout the article. Perhaps a fact in between each paragraph. These facts could drive home the point of what is known about global warming, while the article makes the case against debating based on politics and emotion. The facts could then be the starting point for further debate.
Continuing with the idea above some of the emotional arguments that are not based on fact might also make for interesting snippets throughout the article. These might be counterbalanced with the facts.
The fact could be a direct counterpoint to what has become a commonly accepted argument on either side of the debate. This counterpoint would reinforce the main theme of the article.
Taken together they may imply that Earth Day resulted in some very good things despite the scientific facts, which works against the theme that we should be investigating the facts of global warming instead of debating the politics and emotions. If Earth Day was successful despite the facts why should we think that facts are needed when it comes to global warming.
I hope these critiques are helping you see ways in which posts can be structured or written differently. The point of these critiques isn't to imply that my suggestions are the only way these posts can be changed or that my suggestions would automatically improve the article in question.
What the critique is meant to do is get both the author and the person doing the critique to look at a piece of writing in a new way. The author will ideally gain some insight into making their specific post better and the critic will hopefully gain insight into the craft of writing.
I want to emphasize again that if you put in an honest effort on the critique you'll gain a lot. While the author gets some nice feedback on something he or she has written I think it's the person who does the critique who will see the most improvement in writing.
Is anyone else game for a critique? I'll extend the offer to critique one of your posts, though I'd prefer one from a different blog as we've already had a few posts from college cram. I'd also like to get you to try critiquing so if anyone wants to take up the challenge you can critique my post, Branding For Small Business And Bloggers. The post should be meaty enough to make the critique a little easier to get through.
You can post the critique on your blog like I'm doing here, or just send me a copy of your critique. If you do either I guarantee a link back to your blog in some way, shape, or form. And if you'd rather not make the critique public on your blog or send it to me that's fine too. I'll still urge you to give it a try.
Have you ever tried this or a similar exercise in critiquing? Ever had something you've written critiqued? If you have please share your experiences both positive and negative.
Thanks Steven. I appreciate your thoughtful approach and comments. I will be re-reading them to allow them to fully sink in. Certainly it is encouraging to read the points you liked, and this process buys you enough points to be able to get a fair hearing on the critical suggestions! This just reinforces what you and I both believe about the value of this process.
By the way, with this initial post, I had in mind following it with a series examining the science, point by point, which I have started to build. You are absolutely right about the difficulty in maintaining neutrality in this process. I have become bogged down somewhere in my 3rd and 4th premises of the theory and the difficulty of a non-scientist making a scientific determination is probably going to be the subject of a future post! I have seen a posting on another site referencing my non-analytical conclusions and use of "orders of magnitude" referencing the influence of greenhouse gasses. I clearly have some work to do there.
Thanks again. I really enjoyed having your feedback.
Glad to help Jack. I learn a lot myself critiquing other people's work. What's interesting is I learned this process as part of a creative writing workshop where the work was naturally longer than it is for a single article. There's a lot more source material to find things you like and suggestions to improve the work. I wasn't sure how it would work out with articles, but for me it's worked the same way. I just have to think a little differently, which is the whole point for me.
Let me know when you have more in the series of articles published. I'll be interested to read them. I'm not different than most people in having strong opinions about global warming and what I think we should all do. I'm interested in seeing where you take the next few articles and what facts you uncover.
I absolutely agree it's an issue that is hard to be completely objective about. We all have our views and it's much easier to find half truths that back out point of view instead of seeking out scientific truth.
Thanks again for being a guinea pig. I hope my comments help in some way and I hope others realize the benefits in having your work critiqued and in critiquing someone else's work.


1. If you're lazy, put the bones in a ziplock bag and freeze them until you're not lazy. I have many a bag of frozen bones in my freezer.
3. Preheat oven to 300 degrees on bake.
4. Put all your chicken bones on an oven safe pan (this doesn't just have to be chicken wing bones, it can be a chicken carcass or two, too). I find you need about 3 servings of chicken wings to have enough bones to boil, or a chicken carcass. or mix and match them! Don't skip the roasting and go straight to the boiling, it won't taste nearly as good. The more bones you have, the faster the broth will be ready. I try to fill a large freezer ziplock bag (a gallon worth), and use about 3/4 of those in my slow cooker. You can use more and it works faster too!
5. Stick them in the oven and roast for at least 2 hours – the bones get dark and brittle and much tastier, sometimes 3-4 hours is cool too. You don't have to wait until the oven is preheated to stick them in.
6. Using a slow cooker: If you have a slow cooker, use it. If you don't have one, buy one, even used, they're not very much and if you're going to try eating like this you'll need one. Makes your life way easier and the broth turns out way better. Put the bones in the slow cooker and fill it up as much as you can with (filtered) water. I'll go into the water issue later. Add a bay leaf if you want! My slow cooker is a 4 quart slow cooker, and I fill the water almost to the top.
Using a pot: Take them out of the oven and put them in a big pot of filtered water. The bigger the pot, the longer you have to boil the bones. Also add the bay leaf.
7. Using a slow cooker: Turn on high for approx. 8 hours, or until the broth looks opaque.
Using a pot: Bring the pot of water and bones to a boil. Turn down and simmer forever (like 24 hours) because a pot takes forever so don't use a pot. If there's a lot of meat and goodness on your bones, the broth can turn almost white in about 8 hours. If you're using chicken wing bones, I find this takes almost 30 hours. Just let it simmer until the broth starts looking opaque. The longer you let it cook, the better. Or use a slow cooker for about 8 hours.
Do NOT store in cute mason jars. They will break even if you cool the broth first and don't overfill it. This is the before picture of my exploded jar.
9. Store in the freezer! – pour into ice-cube trays so you can stock up on ice-cube broth for other recipes and gravy, and store in containers for soup. You should be trying to drink about a cup of this stuff a day. It's full of gut healing ingredients. (It'll need a LOT of salt, but its surprisingly good with just salt. Obviously pepper is good too). You know how chicken broth is supposed to be good for you when you're sick? Well that store bought chicken broth/bouillon on isn't good for you. at all. This is the real stuff, and it's really good!
10. Otherwise store in fridge and eat within 4 days. Apparently eating a cup of this a day is really good for gut healing.
Eat with salt. Tons of salt. And pepper if you want, etc.
Also useful is a pressure cooker for the boiling part. Throw the bones in and let it hiss lightly for as little as 30 minutes. I often let it go for about an hour and voilà excellent broth. I have never tried roasting the bones beforehand so that's next.
Pressure cookers are on sale at Canadian Tire about 3 times each year – @$80. Thrift stores can also be good but the newer types have better lid locking technology eg: avoid your grandmother's pressure cooker….
Great blog, btw, and super clear. It is going to help a lot of people!
I'm actually going to edit this post today. I wasn't using a slow cooker for broth because I didn't like the taste, but it was because I wasn't roasting the bones! Now I'm using a slow cooker and it's way easier.
1. Could you specify the ratio of bones to water? I'm not sure what you define as a serving of chicken wings or the size of the pot/slow cooker you're using. That and I don't always eat wings. Grams to ml would be useful, but I can work with vague measurements like cups or handfuls if you don't have a food scale.
3. Was the explanation behind the water being filtered -I'm guessing with Brita- intended for another post, or did you just forget?
Next time I make it I'll measure out the bones and water and edit the post. It's totally fine not to have any meat left, I eat all of it too, even the cartilage most of the time. The marrow is probably better to keep for the broth though… And I did forget about the water. I'll edit that when I edit the ratio of bones to water 🙂 In the next couple of days. Just to give you a quick idea, if I'm eating a chicken and making it into broth, I use the whole chicken carcass and approx. 4.5L of water. I'll write some more examples up in the next couple of days!
Okay so ratio wise it's approximately 4 L of water to 2.5 L of bones… The fewer the bones, the longer you have to slow cook it in order to get broth.
you said you are going to explain why it's important to use filtered water.
Is that post still coming? And by filtered, do you mean one of those Brita filters?
Is it supposed to not reduce any of the liquid? My broth tastes very bland, it looks opaque but I'll be reducing it on the stove afterwards because it has almost no taste.
Because a slow cooker doesn't reduce liquid.
How does your broth taste? I did it for 8 hours with 3 carcasses of a chicken and a bunch of wings.
you need to add a LOT of salt. If your broth is opaque you should be good after the salt. Having it without salt is pretty bland, but with the salt it tastes really good. Let me know if you're still having problems. More salt than you think you need.
I was very surprised to see how gelatinous the broth was when I cooled in overnight in the fridge, it's a great consistency for storing though!
Made the wings, they were great! Now i'm collecting bones for the broth.
What's kinda unclear for me is the process of roasting them. Which setting on your oven do you use for that? And judging from your picture of the bones, there are some bits and pieces left from eating, right? Won't these get burned from being roasted for two hours?
Maybe i got it wrong somehow. Some more pictures, maybe from your next batch, would be great.
I'll do that, I'm going to make more this week.
Is that 300 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Otto Prutscher, trained carpenter and student at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule under Josef Hoffmann, was an important architect and designer and is considered one of the most important representatives of Austrian Jugendstil. He was not only active as an artist, but also as a teacher at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna. Otto Prutscher took part in a number of exhibitions and his designs were executed by companies such as Thonet, J&J Kohn and private carpenters. Furthermore, Otto Prutscher was awarded the Austrian State Prize for Architecture in 1947.
This children's chair shows the most characteristic feature of the Thonet company, the steam-bent beech wood. The grain of the wood on the backrest, together with the rounding of the seat, emphasizes the harmonious appearance of the chair. A carved heart in the middle of the backrest loosens up the otherwise rather reduced design.
The Viennese architect and arts and craftsman Otto Prutscher (Vienna 1880 – 1949 Vienna) was an important representative of Austrian Jugendstil. As a student of Josef Hoffmann and Franz Matsch, he created numerous designs for the Wiener Werkstätte and Viennese residential buildings. He was not only active as a designer and architect, but also as a teacher at the School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna. While his style was clearly influenced by Hoffmann's works at first, a clear stylistic independence can be seen as early as 1906. Between 1906 and 1915, he produced delightfully reduced works entirely in the spirit of the "Gesamtkunstwerk" (total work of art) of Austrian Jugendstil. The works of the 1908 "Kunstschau" and the 1914 "Werkbundausstellung" deserve special mention too. From 1915 onwards, the influence of Prutscher's colleague Dagobert Peche became noticeable in his designs. His style became more modern and floral, but not as delicate as Peche's works. Otto Prutscher never lost his individuality and inspiration. The glass works from 1908 to 1916 also deserve a special mention here. His wine and liquor glasses from this period are, today, in great demand by collectors all over the world.
