Get answers about Oakland from local experts or tell us what you love about it.
Does Oakland have any famous museums or exhibitions?
Built in 1969, the vast Oakland Museum of California attracts visitors from around the world. This renowned museum showcases the art, history, and science of California with three levels of galleries, terraces, patios, sculpture gardens, and ponds. In addition to the expansive collections, the Oakland Museum also offers educational outreach programs to the public. Situated at the North Field of the Oakland International Airport, the Oakland Aviation Museum boasts over 30 vintage and modern airplanes on display. With both civilian and military planes, as well as several displays that highlight influential aviators, local history, engineering, and aviation buffs will love this local non-profit museum.
Are there big sporting events that people in Oakland enjoy attending?
Yes, Oakland is home to three very popular professional sports teams. Founded in 1901 and relocated to Oakland in 1968, the MLB Oakland Athletic's play their home games at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Also playing at the Coliseum are the city's NFL Oakland Raiders football team. In town since 1971, the Golden State Warriors basketball team is part of the NBA's Western Conference, playing their home games at the Oakland's Oracle Arena.
What do people do for fun in Oakland?
Named after writer Jack London, Jack London Square is Oakland's main tourist destination. Along the wharf are many shops and restaurants, as well as an unobstructed view of the water. Home to many prominent artists and musicians, Oakland is also known for its vibrant arts and music scene, and the historic Fox Theater is a great venue to see a show. Located near Lake Merritt, the Grand Lake Farmers' Market is known as one of the best in the East Bay and goes year-round. The East Bay Regional Park District features parks and preserves that offer excellent hiking trails.
Are there museums in Oakland or nearby?
Yes. In fact, Oakland is home to a host of museums, the best-known of which is probably the Oakland Museum of California, a museum dedicated to the art, history, and natural science of California. Other museums in Oakland include the Museum of Children's Art, the Chabot Space & Science Center, the Pardee Home Museum, and the Oakland Aviation Museum. Other than that, nearby San Francisco also has several museums of note, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, or SFMOMA, the de Young Museum, the Asian Art Museum, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
Is Oakland a good place for younger people?
Yes, Oakland is a good place for younger people. Its proximity to San Francisco, in conjunction with its much lower cost of living, make it an ideal place for those that work in the city but don't want to pay the high rents that come along with it. But Oakland isn't just a neighbor to San Francisco; it's a hotbed of arts and culture in its own right. In addition, it's close to all the outdoor opportunities that residing in the Bay Area affords.
Are there local sporting events in Oakland?
Home to three major professional sports teams, Oakland offers many local sporting events for spectating. For baseball, the Oakland Athletics, or the Oakland A's,of Major League Baseball play at the Coliseum. For basketball, the play at the Oracle Arena. And, for football, the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League play, like the A's, at the Coliseum.

"I would say the two biggest goats out of this whole thing are Pete Carroll and Golden Tate. They're calling it a good call and Golden Tate saying he caught it and there was no push in the back – be a man. You can be happy you won the game, I understand that, stuff is going to happen, but be a man and admit it was a bull-crap call and stand up and have some integrity. How are you going to face the fricking team when they know it's bull crap? I think Golden Tate and Pete Carroll are completely full of crap."
"He should have just batted the ball away" I guess no one saw what happened at the end of the Lions game.
After the controversial finish to Monday night's game between the Packers and the Seahawks, the seat the replacement referees - and NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell - currently occupy went from hot to scalding.
Making matters even worse is this statement, posted to the official Facebook and Twitter account of the Lingerie Football League by LFL Commissioner Mitchell Mortaza, claiming that officiating crews currently working in the NFL were fired by the all-girl football league due to incompetence.
It reads:
Because of the LFL's perception it is that much more critical for us to hire officiating crews that are competent, not only for the credibility of our game but to keep our athletes safer. Due to several on-field incompetent officiating we chose to part ways with with a couple crews which apparently are now officiating in the NFL. We have a lot of respect for our officials but we felt the officiating was not in line with our expectations.
We have not made public comment to date because we felt it was not our place to do so. However in light of tonight's event, we felt it was only fair that NFL fans knew the truth as to who are officiating these games.
There you have it. The referees that are currently protecting the NFL's integrity weren't even qualified to work a game between the Philadelphia Passion and Tampa Bay Breeze.
Seahawks and Packers. Angry Birds and Cheeseheads.
Talk about some SERIOUS FUN!!
Conceived on a 50-yard line he was fed a healthy diet of blitzes, blocks, statistics, and nachos. He lives for the NFL.
like ben rothlisberger and his "i had a hand on the ball" in the scuffle two years ago.
clearly he had no hand on the ball when 3 miami players dove in and ben was a yard away.
This is the best thing that could have happened for the rest of the NFL. Until something starts happening to convince the NFL that they need real refs in there, they will continue to flaunt the fact that almost nothing can make the league less popular as long as the games (with real players) are being played.
People will still watch.
Anyone that says they wont are full of ****.
People hated Howard Stern and wanted him off the air way back when, but people still tuned in to see what he would do next. Same premise, people will tune in even if only to see what the refs will do next.

Meaning & Origins
Anglicized form of Old French Amee 'beloved'. This originated in part as a vernacular nickname, in part as a form of Latin Amata. The latter is ostensibly the feminine form of the past participle of amare 'to love', but in fact it may have had a different, pre-Roman, origin; it was borne in classical mythology by the wife of King Latinus, whose daughter Lavinia married Aeneas and (according to the story in the Aeneid) became the mother of the Roman people.

Practice Philosophy
Dr. Fiala and the entire staff are committed to fostering an atmosphere where patients feel comfortable to ask questions or express concerns. Each patient is treated with respect, dignity and understanding.
The combination of outstanding patient education, proven, effective surgical techniques and the highest medical and safety standards deliver a predictable and natural looking outcome. Perhaps most importantly, we will never promise a result that cannot be delivered.
Dr. Fiala specializes in cosmetic surgery, and has devoted his practice exclusively to this since 2001.
Our most popular procedures are:
- breast surgery (augmentation, reduction, lift, implant revision)
- body contouring (tummy tuck, mommy makeovers, liposuction, and body-lifts)
- facial surgery (facelift, blepharoplasty & more)
Dr. Fiala likes to meet and have a detailed discussion with all of his patients - so that he can fully understand the patient's goals. This in-depth session allows an opportunity for a detailed explanation of the various surgical options, and their benefits and trade-offs.
We feel that a well-informed patient is more likely to have a smooth recovery and good outcome. Pre-operative education is a big part of preparing for surgery.
Consultations are typically scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week. Special arrangements can be made for out-of-town patients.
We feature a state-of-the art, on-site surgical suite, which is AAAASF-certified. All anesthesia is provided by MD anesthesiologists. Overnight stays, with one-on-one nursing care, are recommended for major procedures. Our srugery suite is comfortable, private and safe.

The Creston/Orient-Macksburg wrestling team held a slim half-point advantage over Glenwood, 78.5-78, heading into the semifinal round of the Hawkeye 10 Conference wrestling tournament here on Saturday.
Things really got rolling for the Panthers when 113-pounder Kruz Adamson, the first of 10 Panther semifinalists, scored a dramatic upset victory over second-seeded and Class 2A fifth-ranked Chris Hopkins of Harlan, igniting the Creston/O-M fan base and the Panther team to a repeat Hawkeye 10 Conference tournament championship.
Creston/O-M beat out Hawkeye 10 duals champion Glenwood 242.5-223 for the team title.
Adamson and Hopkins went back-and-forth in their semifinal matchup. Adamson would score a takedown and back points, and then Hopkins would neck wrench Adamson, earning five points.
"Crazy match," head coach Darrell Frain said. "He gets a takedown and puts the kid on his back, so we get a little lead. We know Hopkins and how he wrestles. He neck wrenches us two times, so two five-point moves."
The match entered the final seconds tied at 15, when the official stopped the match with 1.9 seconds remaining and assessed Adamson a one-point penalty for putting a figure four on Hopkins' head.
"It was unfortunate," Frain said. "He did figure four the head. He didn't try to, but in that situation, they had to call it. But, 1.9 seconds, you get a fresh start."
Adamson thought he had cost himself the match when he was assessed the penalty.
"I was thinking, 'crap, I just cost me the match.'" Adamson said. "Then I looked back and saw he was one point ahead of me, and I thought 'OK, I can do this.' I saw coach Frain kind of get up and grab my stuff and one second left."
Standing neutral in the middle of the mat, on center stage in the middle of the gym right in front of the Creston/O-M fans, Adamson, nicknamed "Flash," lunged forward on the whistle, grabbed Hopkins' ankle and was able to get the takedown, all in the final 1.9 seconds, causing the Creston/O-M fans to erupt in celebration as Adamson sat on the mat with a look of disbelief on his face after his 17-16 win.
"I just quickly went for his ankle and got around him, and I got it, I guess," Adamson said. "The fastest takedown I've ever had in my life. The time wasn't really bugging me, but as soon as I got it, I got his legs and they stopped the match, I didn't realize I won. Then he said 'two,' and I looked up at the clock and I thought we were going to overtime. Then, I saw him take off his ankle band. It was a great feeling."
"I thought it was over. I really did," Frain said about the moments after the figure four penalty was called. "I threw my program down, I was picking up his stuff and I look around, and he gets a low single and I didn't even think it was possible to do in 1.9, but it was definitely exciting. It was pretty dang loud at that point."
Creston/O-M assistant coach Cody Downing said it was the loudest reaction he can remember hearing in the Creston High School gymnasium.
Snowball effect
After Adamson's semifinal win, things started to snowball for the Panthers.
"Last week, we had an unbelievable quarterfinal round, and this week, we had a great semifinal," Frain said. "We just got on a run. When Kruz got that big win in the semis, it just kind of took off from there. Everybody fed off of it, because about every kid was at the edge of the mat in Kruz's match, and they all got excited for him. Everybody just kind of ran with it from there."
Eight of the nine other Panther wrestlers in the semifinals won their matches, advancing to the finals, where the Panthers crowned six champions.
Adamson, along with Jake Marlin (138), Jacob Johnston (145), Trevor Frain (160), Keaton Hulett (195) and Cole Tanner (220) all won Hawkeye 10 championships, while Jesse Rathe (152) and Adam Baker (170) each lost close decisions in the finals. Freshman Seth Maitlen (182) made it to the finals where he lost by fall.
Marlin, with his win, became Creston/O-M's first-ever four-time conference champion.
Frain praised Johnston, Rathe, Baker, Maitlen and freshman Joey Huntington for their performances, which were key in the Panthers winning the team title.
Rathe did not find out he was wrestling until 3 p.m. on Friday, with Gavin Leith still out with the flu.
"It's pretty impressive just to get this thing," Frain said. "The year we won state (2006-07), we didn't win it and now to win two in a row, and the fact we did it at home is even better. We definitely wrestle better when we're in front of our home crowd."
But, Frain said his team needs to realize that winning the conference championship has no bearing on what lies ahead over the course of the next three weeks as the Panthers head into sectionals, districts and state.

There are a lot of lightweight fabric choices out there when it comes to buying for the summer months. But now that winter is fast approaching, how can those looks be transitioned?
We should start off by saying that you will need to buy some clothes for the winter. This guide relies heavily on a good coat and solid shoes. You've gotta keep warm! I'd say your classic lightweight wool and cotton jackets will transition best into cooler months.
There's really not a lot of ways to extend the life of a linen blazer or a flex wool blend, except with a scarf and skinny black pants. That being said, that is still an excellent look. My office likes to really crank up the heat in the winter, so I often wear a big, tailored overcoat outside and take it off immediately when I get to my desk. My light blue blazers save me in that sudden heat! I hate sweating and this is my best way around it sometimes.
I also often wear a thin sweater underneath for a really layered effect. I can mute my lighter colors with dark sweaters, dark ties, and a white collared shirt.
For your lighter weight wool and cotton jackets, the weight of the fabric makes them even more versatile than the linen and flex layerable ones! My favorite unexpected winter look is my khaki blazer, brown cords, boots, and a white shirt.
Just remember to wear a scarf or hat with the coat because any of these options won't keep you as warm as your winter wool suits do. Just think about going for a look like this, albeit without sunglasses and with a coat.

September 2012 COTM My Calabria: Bread, Cheese, Eggs, Seafood, Meat
Please post here for these dishes:
Bread, Cheese, Eggs…..113 - 156
Seafood…..157 - 190
Meat…..191 - 232
The Chowhound Team has asked me to remind you that verbatim copying of recipes to the boards is a violation of the copyright of the original author. Posts with copied recipes will be removed.
Please check to see if the recipe you're reviewing already has a report. If so, reply to that post. That will help to keep order in the thread.
Polpette alla Verbicarese - My Mother's Pork Meatballs in Tomato Sauce - p. 209
I actually made this dish in April of 2011. It was my first use of this recipe and book and results were terrific. An unusual "all pork" meatball mixed w fairly standard ingredients however the breadcrumbs are dry vs fresh soaked in milk. I cooked mine in the oven vs in oil on the stove. 25 mins at 375 did the trick. We liked these... not as much as our usual mb's but they were very good and I would make them again for a change. I had some of my own marinara in the freezer so I didn't make the Quick Tomato Sauce in this book but intend to do so during the COTM. Love that this book has wine suggestions w each recipe as well.
Forgot to photograph the cooked mb's!
re: Breadcrumbs
Polpette alla Verbicarese - My Mother's Pork Meatballs in Tomato Sauce - p. 209
I also made this some time ago - don't remember exactly when. I love these meatballs. I used homemade breadcrumbs that were probably not as fine or dry as what was called for. The meatballs had a great delicate texture. I think what I really loved about them was the addtition of pecorino cheese. I did use the quick tomato sauce from the book, and it was wonderful. I am a big fan of very simple tomato sauces, and that is exactly what this was.
re: Breadcrumbs
Polpette alla Verbicarese (My Mother's Pork Meatballs in Tomato Sauce), page 209.
Since a couple people have reviewed it on this thread, I reported on this dish in the meatball thread here:
Hats off to Breadcrumbs for teaching me the oven method of cooking meatballs. I really dislike frying. It worked great, and I'm never going back!
re: Breadcrumbs
Polpette alla Verbicarese (My Mother's Meatballs in Tomato Sauce) p.209
There are full reports from others above so I'll just add that I liked these - they are quick and easy to make. I liked the all-pork meat for a change - the mixture was like a pork sausage, which is not a drawback for me. Like Breadcrumbs I baked them rather than frying them. I served them with the Quick tomato sauce over pasta.
re: Breadcrumbs
Polpette alla Verbicarese, p. 209
Very good, a nice change from beef meatballs. I didn't have enough tomatoes to make a double recipe of the Sugo di Pomodoro (7 cups of sauce), so I only made a single recipe. I served the meatballs with penne rigate pasta. I used the sauce for the pasta, and had a little extra for the meatballs. I fried the meatballs, since I wanted to follow the recipe to the letter the first time around, but I'll be putting them in the oven the next time. Thanks for suggesting baking them.
re: cheesemaestro
Looking forward to hearing how you liked the baked version cheesemaestro. I've never looked back!!
Breadcrumbs – p. 127
So I totally recognize we don't need a recipe for these but for the benefit of those who many not yet have had the opportunity to take a good look through this book, the author does call for the use of fresh breadcrumbs in a number of recipes so I thought I'd post this as a reminder.
Having seen that, I decided to whip up a batch and freeze them so I have them on hand for the month ahead. I picked up a day-old loaf of Italian country-style bread at a local bakery and, as the author suggests, cut it into 1 inch cubes without removing the crusts (oh joy!!). Bread is pulsed until crumbs are fine and tada…you're done.
On p. 59 the author also provides a recipe for toasted breadcrumbs and of course, you can use these to make that recipe. I expect I'll be happy to have these on hand throughout the month and, especially on a weeknight where an extra step can make or break my decision to prepare a dish!!
re: Breadcrumbs
I too often keep a jar of 'fresh' breadcrumbs in the freezer, and I also leave the crusts on. Seems so wasteful to cut off that tasty bit. A worthy 'recipe' to have reviewed (especially since it's your namesake!).
re: Breadcrumbs
Hardest thing for me to keep a supply of: breadcrumbs! Fresh, toasted, seasoned, plain, or otherwise, I always promise myself I'll "make" a new batch for the freezer but haha...
re: Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs, page 127
I made 2lbs of her everyday bread specifically so that I could make breadcrumbs. The bread was so delicious, that only 1 1/2 lbs of the bread was left for this task. To amuse myself, I started with a grater, sawing the bread back and forth. My arm was tired before I had even 1/4 cup of the crumbs, so I moved onto 20th century technology.
In small batches, I added the cubed bread to the blender. I tossed the crumbled bread in a very fine sieve, and then a bigger sieve over a second bowl. It is astonishing how few breadcrumbs I have! My final results were about 2 cups of the extremely fine crumbs and 4 cups of the larger.
Finally ready to try some of the recipes that I have marked.
re: smtucker
<<"To amuse myself, I started with a grater...">>
smtucker you almost made me cough up my wine!! You made your own bread just for the crumbs. I could barely drag my tired butt down to the freezer this morning to dig out some English muffins so we had some form of bread at breakfast.
Step aside Martha, there's a new kid in town!!!
Loved this post smtucker, you "are" a Chowhound!!!
re: Breadcrumbs
I have started a new starter for this bread. [Long story but the last starter isn't useable.] I have decided that this is the perfect bread for my Thanksgiving stuffing. It is tasty fresh, and gets stale nicely. This time I will do a better job of keeping my starter healthy. Three days is a lot of days to wait for bread.
I am thinking of adding some fresh and dried sage. I think that will work. Anyone think this will be a disaster?
re: smtucker
smtucker, you're putting fresh and dried sage into the starter -- or the breadcrumbs -- or the bread?
Also, what do you mean it "gets stale nicely"?
re: blue room
I am planning to put sage in the final bread dough, not the starter. Some breads don't get stale well. They mold, or become chalky. This bread doesn't collapse or have an off taste as it dries.
Last year I made a bread that had some milk and butter and it just didn't age gracefully and it was too rich or dense. I don't want to make this mistake again.
re: smtucker
I realize now I asked a dumb question, smtucker. Of course you're not adding sage leaves to the starter!
If you'll ever answer another of my questions -- have you made the famous "no knead" Lahey bread? And would this from "My Calabria" be better for taste and drying-for-stuffing, in your opinion?
re: blue room
I actually think that the no-knead bread is excellent for this purpose. I did that one year and it was very successful.
Pollo alla Calabrese (Baked chicken with potatoes, tomatoes and hot peppers) – half recipe p. 218
This couldn't be easier. One dish. Pantry staples. Toss in the oven. After a long work day, the Mr. and I split-up the kitchen prep and put chopped tomatoes, Yukon gold potatoes , garlic and sliced onions that were seasoned with salt in a pan (we used a lasagna pan). Chicken (we used bone-in skin on chicken thighs) is seasoned with salt and pepper and placed on the vegetables. Season everything with oregano (we used wild, dried oregano). Drizzle with olive oil, mix and then place the bed of vegetables and add the chicken (skin-side up), add ground hot red pepper.
Cook until the skin is crisp and golden then turn the chicken and bake until the chicken is cooked through. Because we used too big of a pan and only made half a recipe, by the time the skin was golden – the chicken and potatoes were cooked through and the tomatoes had disintegrated and gotten a little charred without even a hint of pan juice. Even so, it was a nice after work meal. It wasn't a knock your socks off dish, but homey and hearty.
re: BigSal
That's exactly how I remember feeling about the dish when I first made it last year. It's on the agenda for tonight's dinner because I couldn't trust my memory for the reporting details. Everything is at the ready... I'm using chicken quarters jointed into thighs and drums. I can't decide what to serve as a contorno though. Perhaps just a salad.
re: BigSal
I also chose this recipe - my first attempt from the book, which I got from the library after finding this forum. Overall, we enjoyed it. I thought I was following the instructions pretty well, but my potatoes still were not done after the chicken was, so next time I will cut them smaller. I may also add a little more tomato and garlic, because they tasted so wonderful combined with everything else.
The best part was the skin on the chicken - it was crispy and delicious. We cut up a whole chicken and just removed the breasts a little before the rest. The recipe is deceptively simple and, like BigSal said, it couldn't be easier. We will certainly make this again. We also browsed the other recipes while we ate, so I am fairly certain this book will become part of our permanent collection.
re: bkieras
And here is the picture!
re: BigSal
I made this for dinner tonight as well. I made the full recipe as written except I left out the hot red pepper for two reasons. 1. Wasn't sure what type of hot pepper to use, and 2. My husband isn't a huge fan of heat, so thought it would be better to leave it out. I thought the flavors were good, but not all my potatoes were fully cooked. The potatoes under the chicken were good, but those on top seemed a bit crunchy. On the side I served a fig and goat cheese salad as I found figs at the store and some crusy Italian bread. Would definetly make again as it was simple and tasty.
re: JulesLP
re: JulesLP
Jules, we used ground cayenne pepper - just sprinkled it on. It did add some spice to the skin, but not to the rest of the chicken.
re: BigSal
Pollo alla Calabrese, Pg. 218
Baked Chicken with Potatoes, Tomatoes and Hot Peppers
The last time I made this recipe was 1.9.11 and for us it was like Italian comfort food: all the ingredients we like, plus easy to make, easy to eat, nutritious and nostalgic. Last night we made it for dinner and, after seasoning everything more aggressively, we decided that we have to keep this in rotation through the winter.
I used chicken leg quarters dis-jointed, 2 hot Serrano chilies chopped keeping the seeds and ribs, after sprinkling the S & P plus cayenne pepper and lots of dried Greek oregano over both the chicken pieces and vegetables and mixing all together I also sprinkled hot sweet paprika (Pimenton de La Vera picante) over all. Baked the first time for 25 minutes @ 450F skin side up, turned the chicken skin side down and baked for the additional 20 minutes.
Chicken skin was crisp and golden, potatoes (YGs) were cooked through and mashed easily into the pan sauce, tomato chunks had collapsed creating a lovely unctuous sauce with the onion slices, G pan-grilled slices of a large crusty Italian loaf and these were used to mop up the plentiful juices. This well seasoned and delectable meal was transformed into satisfying comfort food of a higher order.
Friselle (Calabrian Rusks) p. 128
I had never had friselle before and was curious to try this twice-cooked bread that looks like a bagel on steroids that is reconstituted in water and eaten as a snack with some type of topping.
This is definitely a weekend project (assuming that you already have made your bread starter which takes 3 days and the bread sponge that needs to sit overnight).
One starts by making My Family's Everyday Bread up to the first rise and then separates the dough into 6 pieces which are formed into 8" rounds with a 2" hole in the center (like a very large bagel). Cover the rings with a kitchen towel and a blanket (you are aiming to keep them at a 80F temperature) for 2 hours. Bake at 475F for 15 minutes in the bottom rack of the oven and then bake at 400F and bake 15 minutes and cool completely on a rack.
Slice each one in half horizontally and bake at 300F for 1-1.5 hours. Lastly, bake at 175F for 2 more hours. The bread is completely dry to the touch and crisp and brittle. Whew! This took quite a while to do, but it does make a lot of friselle which will last a long time.
Because it is so laborious to make, it is not something I would make regularly, but glad to have had the experience and very pleased with the results.
Friselle con Pomodoro Crudo (Calabrian Rusks with Fresh Tomato and Garlic Topping) p. 35
Once you have the friselle made this a breeze. You make a topping of cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic, fresh hot red pepper, salt and olive oil. This topping is placed on a moistened frisella. Similar to bruschetta, but the texture of the bread is different.
It took me a couple tries to get the friselle the right texture. Soak too long and it falls apart. Not enough water and it's too crunchy.
Calabrian Rusks with Olive Oil, Oregano and Garlic Variation p. 36
Rub the moistened frisella with garlic, then drizzle with olive oil, salt and dried, crumbled oregano (we used wild oregano). This was our preferred way to enjoy friselle. Simple and delicious.
re: BigSal
Big Sal I'm so impressed, this was quite an undertaking and it sounds like it produces terrific results. You said that the dough produces a lot of friselle. Are you freezing some of the dough or did you bake all of it? The Italian Bakery here sells the split loaves sealed in plastic and it does seem that they keep in that state for some time.
There's an Italian restaurant in Chicago that serves this as part of their antipasti menu and that's where we tried it for the first time. Interestingly they don't soak their bread and instead they let the juices of the tomato, onion, evoo mixture moisten the bread (to the point that it becomes too soggy for our tastes after a little time on the table). The notion of soaking the bread first is very interesting. Though I'm not as brave or ambitious as you in baking my own, I think I'll pick up one from the bakery and give that technique a try. Thanks so much for posting.
re: Breadcrumbs
The whole recipe makes 12 friselle. I baked them all at once which I am glad that I did now that it is done, but I was baking into the wee hours of the night to finish the batch. The baked friselle are said to keep for months, but I don't see them lasting that long the way we have been snacking on them.
Reconstituting them in tomato juice and olive oil sounds delicious too. I can relate to the friselle becoming too soggy for your tastes after a little time on the table. There's a narrow window between good texture and soggy mess. After a couple trials, I prefer to quickly moisten the friselle under running water rather than soak.
re: BigSal
Wow, you are energetic and dedicated. I think I could make the complimentary recipe suggestions, but I can but great friselle.
re: BigSal
Wow! That is real project management. So glad you liked the results. Just reading your posts on the bread & rusks left me both tired & hungry.
re: BigSal
I echo the others - I'm incredibly impressed.
Pane Calabrese (My Family's Every Day Bread) p. 119
This bread takes some time to make. One starts by making the bread starter, a 3 day process. Mix flour, yeast and water and cover in a warm spot for 24 hours. Divide the dough in half (discarding half) and add flour and water and rest 24 hours. Divide dough in half again (discarding the half) and add flour and water and rest 24 hours.
Add flour and water to the starter, cover and rest overnight to make the sponge. The sponge is put into 3 lbs of flour (formed into a well with the sponge in the middle). Warm salted water is gradually added to the sponge until blended and then mix in the flour until the sides of the bowl are clean. Knead until the dough is firm and smooth. This is a moist dough and Rosetta recommends kneading the dough in the bowl, but I was not used to kneading so much dough at once, I found it easier to knead it on my countertop. This was quite a workout .
The dough is covered with a kitchen towel and blanket to keep the temperature around 80F and leave to rise 2.5-3 hours. Shape the loaves into your shape of choice (makes 3 loaves). Cover and rise 2 hours then bake.
The result is a hearty, dense loaf. I don't make a lot of bread, but each time I do, I find it so rewarding.
re: BigSal
That sounds so great. I've always wanted to try making bread with a starter but never get around to it. Would you say that the outcome is worth the effort/time?
re: Allegra_K
Yes, for me it was, although I do not mind working on extended projects. This was also my first time making bread with a starter too. The nice thing about the starter is that you can make it in advance and put it in the fridge for up to three weeks.
re: BigSal
Thank you BigSal, I enjoyed both posts! You've earned your daily bread, that's for sure.
(The background in the book about bread paints a picture, doesn't it? Hardscrabble, but healthy I suppose.)
re: blue room
Hardscrabble indeed. It makes us appreciate the food we have and the ease and afforability of it. Making this bread was a fun project, but I can't imagine having to make it weekly for sustenance.
re: BigSal
Thank you so much for reporting. I have just marked this recipe and plan to start the starter tonight. I love when I make our own bread, and as the temperature drops, I am willing to turn the oven back on. Not sure that my stand mixer can handle 3 lbs of flour, but I want to make a full recipe so we will have lots of breadcrumbs for so many of the other recipes I want to try.
re: smtucker
If you make this recipe, you will have LOTS of breadcrumbs! It makes three large loaves of bread. The kneading was the toughest part, since it makes such a large amount of dough.
re: BigSal
Did you make a partial recipe? Freeze some of the dough? Or just go for it?
re: smtucker
I made the whole recipe.
re: BigSal
Pane Calabrese (My Family's Every Day Bread) p. 119
Let me start by stating that I am impatiently waiting for this bread to cool off enough to eat. The house smells wonderful!
BigSal has already outlined the big picture so I will restrain my comments to the changes that I made. Though I made the full amount of the starter and the sponge, I only made 2/3 of the recipe adjusting the amount of sponge accordingly. I wasn't sure that my 600 series stand mixer was up to 3 lbs [in the future, I now know that it could.] I chose to make the loaves in the batard shape.
So I blindly followed her instructions to complete the second rise on towels. Getting the dough onto the peel was more difficult that I would have liked, but I managed it. She doesn't suggest slashing the dough before placing it in the oven. As you can see, one of my loaves split and the other just puffed up like a blowfish. In the future, I think I will do two things differently- slash the dough and create a steam oven a la Reinhardt just to get a more even puff.
Will have to report back on the flavor. If it is half as good as the smell, we will enjoy this for MANY days to come.
re: smtucker
The bread looks wonderful, SMT. Couldn't help noticing your knife storage in the background, though. Now I have serious knife storage envy...
re: Gio
Isn't that work surface wonderful? That piece was a wedding gift to us 30 years ago! It has been a kitchen tool, been used as a violin repair bench, to store wine. It is perhaps one of the most versatile wedding gifts that we received.
My greatest fear, as a violinist, is to cut my hands reaching for a knife, so I always make sure that the knives are tucked away and accessible.
The bread was delicious. The crumb was dense with large open holes. We found it more chewy than a standard French loaf. I had forgotten to mention that I did a slow refrigerator rise to encourage as much flavor as possible. We liked this bread in part because it isn't really sour, just flavorful.
re: smtucker
Beautiful bread (and kitchen furniture!) I'd like to someday have a truly "everyday" bread-- that I can make without thinking and have it come out the same every time.
About how long did it rise in the fridge?
re: blue room
I put the dough in the fridge at about 3pm and then pulled it out the next day at 9am.
re: smtucker
In another life, when I was working my way through my Earth Mother phase during the '60s & '70s, every week I made our daily bread, butter, and yogurt so I can just imagine the aroma of freshly made bread in your kitchen. Ah, those were the dayz. Peace, love and happiness,. man. (Classical piano and an F-Alto baroque recorder were my instruments of choice then.)
re: smtucker
"Puffed up like a blowfish" is a perfect description. I'm glad you liked the bread. How long did you knead it in the mixer? I may try the slow refrigerator rise too.
re: smtucker
Beautiful bread; beautiful work surface.
I'm just reading this--so impressed with all these bread-making efforts.
re: smtucker
I'm so impressed with your bread-making skills smt....picture perfect! Also love your wedding bench...as Gio said, the knife storage is enviable. What a great idea and a treasured gift.

I have been teaching my girlfriend how to weld, cut, and grind over the past 6 months. She has actually gotten good enough at tig welding to the point that I can actually use her for work parts (paying ones)!
Anyways we slowed down a little so I told her to make something instead of standing around . And this is what she came up with. Go easy on her it's her 1st project! It's all plasma cut free hand and ground/pollished.
She doesn't know I posted this yet.
Don't mind the clutter in the background. That is HER syncrowave 250 I picked up for 600.00

You guy's are great!
I showed her the post before I even read it. At first I was called a jerk, and other names..but anyways. She read all your post and was suprised at your comments.
When I first met her she said she was artistic and I asked if she ever did it with metal, she said no, I can't. I said yeah you can watch! I am not artistic but I can fix and make just about anything. I just can't think about the art stuff.
We were at the shop today and she was messing with bending ss wire in heart shapes and made something really cool. I hope I opened up the artistic side that has been bottled up for a while. I don't care about sharing my stuff! It's all a good way to get/justify more space!
Someday I hope I can justify a plasma cam!
Thanks again. She may be posting on this subject herself. She did get a kick about the sister question.

...how quickly could we sign Greg Jennings? Is there a stipulation that the entire NFL year be completed (a la Super Bowl) or would he be 'available' right now? In other words...what would keep all interested parties from pulling the trigger right now? Is there an established free agent period starting on a certain date (and if so, when is that)?
If we do attempt to sign him, what kind of offer should we present him, and what kind of offer would he be looking for?
I guess I just want to be educated on the process in case he is one of our targets...

California cuisine continues to change the way we eat. Savory olive oils infused with herbs and spicesbasil, tarragon, garlichave been with us for a while. Riding a new wave are California citrus olive oils with rich fruit essences that complement a wide variety of dishes.
O Olive Oil has an organic line of infused olive oils, and a website full of suggestions for pairing your oils with food as scientifically as you would pair your wines.
Think Meyer Lemon Olive Oil with arugula, chicken and parmesan salad or with goat cheese. Blood Orange Oil pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes and sage, with salmon and dill, with pork loin and soy, with spinach and pine nuts. Try Tahitian Lime Oil with grilled corn and cilantro; with Cajun shrimp, with Asian ginger chicken; and it's great with feta cheese. Our favorite is Ruby Grapefruit Oil with swordfish; smoked salmon; a lettuce, red onion and avocado salad; or drizzled over brie.
Whether you're tossing, basting or grilling, it's easy to see how a quick oil change will perk up everything you serve. A bottle or two of O also makes a nifty host(ess) gift, in optional attractive gift tubes or a 3-bottle gift box.

The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow
In a recent book review published in Christian Century, BioLogos content manager Jim Stump endeavors to reclaim the word "design."
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
Researchers in the emerging field of Paleogenomics are investigating the past using genetic research.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Musician Michael Gungor talks about the recent controversy over the evolution of his views on evolution, science, and biblical authority.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
When read in this way, the Genesis stories may be seen as one of the greatest-ever revolutions in human understanding. Genesis used the literary forms of the day to introduce its readers to a rational God who cares for people – and whose faithfulness made science possible. Genesis is expressly about theology, not science.

For your consideration: Ben Affleck, the 2012 version—an accomplished 40-year-old director of movies that please both critics and audiences, a dutiful father of three, and, not incidentally, an actor in ever-firmer command of his craft.
With his first two features behind the camera, Gone Baby Gone (2007) and The Town (2010), Affleck, who grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, mined the terrain of Baaahston bad guys and anti�heroes so skillfully that he probably could have kept working the genre for years. Instead, he chose to raise the stakes with Argo (opening October 12), a drama that retells a long-classified story from the Iran hostage crisis. In the film, Affleck plays a CIA agent who enlists a Hollywood producer (Alan Arkin) and a makeup artist (John Goodman) in a quixotic attempt to extract six American-embassy workers hidden in the Canadian ambassador's residence in Tehran by having them impersonate a film crew producing the cheesiest Star Wars rip-off never made. Argo is full of revelations, not the least of which is how deftly Affleck juggles backlot humor, suspense, and geopolitics while steeping the film in his love for the cinema of the 1970s, which he calls "the greatest era in American movies."
Appropriately, our interview begins in Burbank, California, on the Warner lot—not the part where rich producers have office bungalows but an old New York streetscape (complete with brownstone fa�ades and alleys and stoplights) that's fallen into disuse. "These days it's mostly TV shows like Harry's Law that shoot here," Affleck says wistfully as a tour bus rounds the corner into view. The passing visitors show no signs of recognizing the star—not a surprise, since in tailored jeans, an untucked dark button-down, and the gray-flecked beard he grew for Argo, Affleck looks more like an exec or a crew member than "talent."
The bus disappears around a bend of the ersatz urban horizon. "I thought this would be a good place for us to talk," Affleck says, "because this is a studio movie. A real one. We shot part of the film right here on the backlot, which not that many movies do anymore." It's clear he's a long, long way from . . . well, you remember that stuff. He knows you do. And he's okay with it.
DETAILS: Argo doesn't fit neatly into any genre. How did you manage to make a movie that's both a sharp comedy about the movie industry and also a complicated historical drama?
Ben Affleck: That was the toughest thing. I thought, "This is my third movie—I have confidence that I know how to shoot, I know good actors, and the script is good. The one thing for me to do is to deal with tone." And tone is really hard. When you get tone wrong, it's not like you can go reshoot it. You're just fucked. The movie's destroyed.
My big concern was that there's so much comedy, and if it became too slapstick or too goofy, suddenly you don't care about those people trapped in Iran, because you know they're going to get saved. I always said the joke is the first thing to go. If it borderline does anything wrong to the rest of what we're doing, it has to go, even if it's gut-busting.
After that, I just made sure that every moment felt real. I wanted these actors to feel that they were in this house in Tehran. So we went to all these clich�-Method lengths.
DETAILS: You had the six actors playing hostages live together while you were shooting in Istanbul, right?
Ben Affleck: On Pearl Harbor, they put us in with military guys for two weeks, and it was incredibly hard. But incredibly good for me as a person. I don't know how much it correlated to what happened in the movie, but I remembered that worked well. So I thought, "I'm gonna have them live in the house, and if nothing else, it'll give them something to say at the junket." And they stuck with it, the six of them—they kind of formed this unit, drinking together, running around Turkey. They had bonded.
DETAILS: What made you decide to star in Argo too?
Ben Affleck: I liked the idea of being in the movie, pushing it forward. As an actor, you can steer a scene in another direction by playing it a little differently. And honestly? I like being an actor, and I want to keep having a career. It'd be very easy for me to get lost in directing for a year and a half or two. It's a business with a very short memory.
DETAILS: But when you're acting in your own movie, don't you miss having a director to lean on?
Ben Affleck: Every single director-actor I talked to, from Warren Beatty to Clint Eastwood to George Clooney, said the biggest mistake they made is not shooting enough footage of themselves. You go back to the editing room and you have virtually nothing to work with. And you think, "I could've done better—a director would have pushed me to do more." So I just said, "Okay, I'll push myself to do more."

|Demand for health and social care services in the community will grow as a result of the ageing of populations across Europe. At present, however, very little is known about the preparedness of national home care systems for changing demand, which is not just quantitative but also qualitative in kind. There is a need for insight into the state of home care, including policy and regulation and aspects of financing, organisation and provision of services.
Methods & materials
On the basis of results of a literature review and from consultations with experts across Europe, the EURHOMAP study has developed an extensive set of indicators to map home care systems. The indicators focus on: policy and regulation; financing; organisation & service delivery; and clients & informal carers. EURHOMAP partners collected the data in 2009 and early 2010, in collaboration with experts in 31 European countries. Results were described in uniformly structured country reports and fed back to national experts for validation. An additional source of information was the answers on questions related to four 'vignettes' (hypothetical case descriptions of home living people in need of care). These questions were answered by a panel of key informants in each country.
The presentation will address the following topics: the availability of a policy vision on home care in the countries; how clients can access home care; how the quality of home care is maintained; which governmental levels are responsible for various aspects of home care; public versus private models of provision, including competition; the way care is monitored. It turns out that home care systems widely
Symposium Abstracts 4th Eur Nursing Congress, 4-7 Oct 2010
vary in their degree of development and that the structures of governance, regulation and models of provision are very heterogeneous. An aspect of home care that creates challenges at all levels is the mix of social, nursing and health services, which are supposed to be delivered in an integrated way to clients and patients. Cost control in community care is a common issue of most countries, but budgetary and efficiency measures taken and mechanisms developed are very different. Maintaining and improving home care services is a priority in many countries which does not always match with needs to increase efficiency. In different ways countries try to accommodate these contrasting aims.
Although home care is a major point of policy in many countries, it is not heavily regulated. In many countries home care governance is split between different types of care and, consequently, not well integrated. Despite the dominance of public provision, tendencies towards more privatisation, contracting and competition can be identified.

East Tennessee State Rolls Past Wofford, 71-58
Wednesday, January 23, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Jan. 23, 2002) - Led by senior Dimeco Childress' (Columbia, Tenn.) 20 points, East Tennessee State snapped a two-game losing streak, taking a 71-58 win over Wofford in Southern Conference men's basketball action. The win extended ETSU's home winning streak to 18 games, a streak that is currently the eighth longest in the nation in Division I. East Tennessee State (10-8, 3-4 SoCon) jumped out to quick five point lead two minutes in at 7-2 on a steal and a layup by freshman Tiras Wade (Tampa, Fla.), but Wofford (9-10, 3-4 SoCon) quickly regained its composure and tied the game at 7-7 on a layup by Lee Nixon. Leading 19-18 with 8:22 left in the half, ETSU went on a 14-6 run, led by Zakee Wadood's (Lonoke, Ark.) seven points, to take a 33-24 lead with 3:26 left. Wofford climbed right back into it, outscoring the Bucs 5-0 for the rest of the half to cut the lead to 33-29. ETSU could not extend its lead in the second half, and only led 46-45 after a pair of free throws by Wofford's Justin Stephens with 11:42 left in the game. Just when Wofford looked as if they were ready to take a lead, ETSU got hot at the free throw line. After the Terriers pulled to within one, ETSU hit 10-of-12 free throws over the next seven minutes. With the Buccaneer defense holding Wofford to just one field goal in that time, ETSU found itself up 60-49 with four minutes to play. Wofford could only manage to cut the lead down to eight points in the final minutes and the Buccaneers got a pair of dunks from Wade and Childress to ice the win. Childress led all scorers with his 20 points, the seventh time he has reached the 20-point mark this season. Wadood had a career-high 16 rebounds to go with 17 points and four blocks, his fifth double-double of the season. Wade finished the night with 16 points for the Bucs. Grant Sterley led Wofford with 17 points. Mike Lenzly added a double-double of 12 points and 11 boards, tying him with Wadood for the most double-doubles in the SoCon this season. Lee Nixon also chipped in 12 points for the Terriers. ETSU, which had a 60 percent second half shooting percentage, outshot Wofford for the game, .473-.421. The Buccaneers also enjoyed a comfortable 43-27 edge in rebounding. ETSU, playing back-to-back home games for the first time since December, will host Chattanooga on Saturday, January 26 at 4:00 p.m in its next outing. Wofford will also be home in its next game, hosting UNC Greensboro on Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
