Ford Small-Block Crate Engine Guide
If you need a small-block to drop into your vintage Mustang, you've got plenty to choose from these days
Twenty years ago, the idea of ordering a complete engine for a vintage Mustang was pretty much absurd. First of all, it was a lot cheaper to rebuild or even have someone else rebuild the original engine. Secondly, even if you wanted to purchase a complete long-block, there weren't many companies offering such an animal. About the only thing available was a Ford-authorized remanufactured engine from Fred Jones Remanufacturing.
Two decades later, all that has changed. It's getting more difficult every day to find rebuildable Mustang engine cores, even for Fred Jones, because most vintage blocks and heads have already been machined and rebuilt several times. In many cases, blocks have been bored beyond servicing and heads have been knurled and ported beyond reuse. Age and heat have also contributed to cracked and warped surfaces. Remember that the last factory 289 was built 38 years ago.
Something else that has changed is the availability of crate engines. Today you have a choice of crate engine builders who can deliver an almost-turnkey engine to your door steps. Because most Ford crate engines are based on the late-model 5.0L (302) and 5.8L (351) small-blocks, which come from the same Windsor engine family as the old 289/302s and 351s, they can be easily adapted to a vintage Mustang. You can even paint them Ford Corporate Blue, swap on your front engine dress, and add a Cobra dress-up kit for a completely vintage appearance even though the guts may be thoroughly modern with a roller camshaft and forged bottom-end.
With a crate engine, you get a proven combination of parts, assembled by professionals and delivered right to your garage door. Just swap your accessories, exhaust manifolds, flywheel, fuel pump, and other components to the new engine, and you're ready to drop it in. In fact, some crate engines come with induction, distributor, wires, and everything else needed to fire up and run.
While the idea of mass production may not appeal to some, in reality, it means consistency from a manufacturer who has built thousands of the same combination, unlike one-off engine builds that can suffer from human error. Ben Smeding from Smeding Performance drives home the point: "You build 5 motors and you think you know what you're doing. You build 50 and you're getting better. You build 500 of the same engine combination and then you really know what you're doing."
Granted, crate engines can be pricey, with some running $5,000 or more for ultra high-performance versions, but for vintage Mustang owners who are mainly interested in a reliable yet powerful replacement for their 289 or 302, crate engines are available in the $3,000-4,000 range, not a bad deal when you consider the costs of rebuilding an old engine--machine work, new parts, and so on, not to mention the time needed to chase parts and run back and forth to the machine shop.
Blueprint Racing offers an affordable small-block with a factory 5.0L block and cast-iron heads topped by a Professional Products' intake for just over $3,000, while Ford Racing's best deal is the M-6007-XE3M, based on a new factory 5.0 short-block with GT-40 aluminum heads, which retails for $3,850 and can usually be purchased for less from Ford Racing dealers. Another good deal, primarily for the wider engine bays in '68-'73 Mustangs, is the Ford Racing M-6007-S58, priced under $3,000, with a new 5.8L short-block, cast-iron heads, and dual-plane intake.
Stroker versions are also popular, with 347 cubic-inch versions of the 5.0 offered by nearly every manufacturer. With the 5.8 block, displacement can grow up to 427 ci. More displacement equals more torque and horsepower, yet with a stroker Windsor, the package size remains the same as a 289 or 351.
Most crate engines are delivered as basic long-blocks: a short-block with a cam and cylinder heads. A few come with intake manifolds, while a handful, like those from Roush Performance, add a carburetor, distributor, flywheel, and other parts. Roller rocker arms are typically part of the crate engine package, a good-news/bad-news scenario for owners who want an original look because of clearance issues with vintage valve covers. Some can be modified to clear the rockers, while others may require the use of spacers or taller aftermarket covers.
Another issue with the late-model blocks is the lack of the threaded hole needed for the clutch linkage with manual transmission cars. A clutch equalizer bracket, available from Sacramento Mustang (www.sacramento-mustang.com), is required to install the equalizer bar. Additionally, on crate engines equipped with a water pump for serpentine belts, the pump will need to be replaced with one for the opposite rotation of a V-belt system.
Obviously, if you have the skills to rebuild an engine and you have a rebuildable short-block and heads to work with, then by all means build it yourself. But for many vintage Mustang owners these days, it's great to have the option of picking up the phone or jumping on the Web to order a ready-to-go performance engine.

Practice experience and conversations with other psychotherapists, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists suggest that the aggressive behaviour of children and adolescents towards their parents is an increasing concern in direct work with families. It seems that although the initial referral for assessment and intervention may be related to concerns about ADHD, depression or out of control behaviours, more parents are beginning to talk about their experiences of being the target of their child's physical and emotional aggression and violence in their homes. In this article I would like to broaden our understandings of family violence to include the threat of and the use of violence by children and adolescents against their parents. One way of making a clear distinction between abusive and violent behaviour and what could be termed as normal conflict between parents and their children at different developmental stages will be suggested. Using an outline case example, the Non Violent Resistance Programme (Omer 2004; Weinblatt & Omer 2008) will be suggested as one response to the problem of child to parent violence. Some of the challenges in psychotherapeutic practice for the detection and development of effective responses to child to parent violence will be explored.

1987 - Ocean
This track by 1987 screams action sports to me. I am a big fan of snow boarding, surfing and other extreme sports movies and Ocean reminds me of an Art of Flight track that is placed perfectly amongst the visuals. If I did not know this was 1987, I would have thought that The Weeknd just did a collaboration with Sigur Ros (which would be as cherry as a sunset in September). Enjoy the first up from 1987 and we will be sure to catch his trails.

Surprise, surprise. The big bang is in trouble (2 July, p 30). For decades, a group of scientists that included the late Fred Hoyle, Jayant Narlikar, Geoffrey Burbidge and Chandra Wickramasinghe have been trying to convince the scientific establishment of the error of their ways on the big bang, a term itself coined in derision by Hoyle.
We see again how "big science", by not listening to dissent of this quality, has allowed itself to become lazy and arrogant.

I hate to bring up a question thats been asked a billion times but... My third octave is very out of tune. I've searched this topic lots of times and read all the threads dealing with this problem on 8notes, but im still having problems. I don't play in front of my tuner all the time because its very frustrating. When I do use a tuner, my first and second octaves are almost perfect. When I hit D3 it goes very sharp. My E3 is so sharp its almost an F. And My Ab3 sounds like its only slightly higher than G3.
I've angled my airstream down as far as a can, and I've tried adjusting the size of the airstream but this doesn't do much. I don't think it's my breath support either because my tone is fairly descent in that octave.
I pulled the headjoint out a bit and 'reset my embouchure' so that the lower octaves were in tune. This helped a little but I'm about at that +20 mark on my tuner.
I play on a JFL-611R.

You have to adjust your embouchure from note to note tightening and loosening it. I have the curse of near perfect pitch, and I hate the 3rd register or octave. I play sharp too much because I typically over-blow and to correct this I blow less and tighten the lips and embouchure.
There is the joke how do you get 2 flutists to play in tune...yeah, well, it doesn't have to be that bad, because there are such things as flute trios out there. 35 years now, and I have to be always aware where my tuning on this octave is. My very nice but sometimes evil flute teacher would have a tuner day...I used to train on a strobo-tuner...You might learn to befriend your tuner...shake hands, bury the hatchet, and give that tuner another chance.
Just say to yourself, I like my tuner...the tuner is my friend...I will not break my tuner or throw it down...
Good Luck!!!

My flute teacher recommended the following exercise to me for other reasons, but it will definitely help with intonation--
Play a low C#, and get it in tune. Then play the octave harmonic and tune it to your low C#. Once these two notes are in tune, play the same C#(octave harmonic) with the regular fingering and tune it to the harmonic. If you need to make adjustments, be sure to begin with low C# again, and work your way through the excercise until all 3 notes are in tune. Once the harmonic and the true note are in tune, you are playing with the correct angle, and all other notes should be in tune as long as you don't change anything.
The reasoning behind this has to do with the physics of the flute, but your low c# is naturally more in tune than the octave, as the octave is almost completely open, and the other is almost completely closed. If you can tune it to the closed harmonic, the angle of your flute/airstream is in an optimal position to play in tune, and to be able to make minor embouchure adjustments as necessary.
Hope this helps!

To play notes "in tune" the first and most important pre-requisite is that you develop a sense of "correct" pitch. Most beginners have difficulty with this and when you have a group of flute players there is a tendency to listen to each other rather than the chord being played by other instruments. This can results in the flutes being in tune with each other but out of tune with other players - which prompts adjustment and the group not being in tune! A tuner can tell you its wrong but your ear can do that as well!
The only real solution is to develop an ability to bend the pitch - and this is surprizingly easy in the third octave. If you have difficulty doing this enough even after practice then you should review alternative fingering (especially for F). You probably shouldn't leave your teacher as the last resort as in most cases a lesson with a good teacher can save you hours of experimentation. A good teacher should also be able to remind you of the limitation of an instrument - unless they sold you it or recommended it!

My name is Justin, and I'm a mobile gamer.
"Hi Justin," they all chime in unison.
"I started playing mobile games casually – a little Angry Birds to get a little gaming fix in a life busy with work, kids, etc. That morphed into spending time on the app store actively looking for something new. Before I knew it, I was showing up 30 minutes early to meetings to ensure that I'd have some time to play while I wait, and even locking myself in the bathroom several times a day just to level up on EA High Caliber Hunting."

A recent study from retrevo shows how a whole third of iPhone users think that they have 4G when in fact Apple doesn't even offer a 4G phone yet. Its not just iPhone owners, Android and BlackBerry users are also suffering the same confusion. The study shows that 24% of tested BlackBerry phone owners believed that they had 4G where just like Apple and 4G phone isn't even supported yet. With all tested Android users 29% of them believed they had 4G when they did not. At least with Android someone guessing could answer right because Android does have available 4G phones.
Its a little startling to see the amount of confusion surrounding the 4G network, the study shows how it could impact the sales of these 4G phones and also shows how the public perceives them. Almost a third of users think that the 4G data plan is too expensive. 40% of iPhone users say that they will buy the next phone even if it does not support 4G this is saying much more than Androids 8% and BlackBerry's 23%.

I think a better question would be what the H E double hockey stick are we expecting? There are whispers in the air speaking of the iPhone's gradual rise to a competitive gaming platform, and all I want to know is why??? There has always been gaming available for phones and the like, I can remember ponging it up with my parent's brick like cave-phone back in the 90's when it was new, and I could remember thinking to myself "this game is stupid on a phone, you can't win it." I then proceeded to put the phone down and pick up a real game deciding at that point that all phones were doomed to be an emergency game system if you were on the verge of dying of absolute boredom. That's why this has my interest so peaked, how come the phone is emerging as a competitor? Read More…

Not long ago there had been rumors about Apples next iPhone, having a complete redesign and also including a Prepaid model. As time has rolled on it seems that within a few months these new iPhones and even a new iPad are to be released.
A DigitalTimes report says that "Taiwan-based companies included in the supply chain for iPhone 5 and iPad 3 have begun to prepare materials for the production of the two devices," and that they "likely to make their debuts in September and to hit the market in October, according to industry sources." A number of manufacturers have become prepping for the new Apple iPhones and the recently added iPad 3.
The new features will include a thinner/lighter frame and a 250ppi resolution screen. [IGN Gear]

RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—Your can of soup may the last place where you'd expect to find plastic chemicals. But thanks to an epoxy liner commonly used to prevent canned products from reacting to the metal, everything from canned fruit to canned salmon to canned peas is exposed to plastic chemicals for as long as it remains on the shelf. And that could be exposing you to a risk that's been largely ignored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The liner is manufactured with a chemical called
bisphenol A (BPA), which has been linked to a variety of health problems, including hormone disruption, prostate cancer, diabetes, and obesity, as well as aggressive behavior in children. A new analysis by Consumer Reports confirms that BPA that lines cans ends up in the food that we eat.
THE DETAILS: The testers at Consumer Reports purchased three cans each of 19 different food products, including canned soups, vegetables, tuna, and both powdered and liquid baby formula, as well as some products in alternative packaging materials like plastic pouches and boxes. The highest levels of BPA were found in canned green beans and canned soup. A can of Del Monte Fresh Cut Green Beans Blue Lake had 191 parts per billion (ppb) BPA. Progresso Vegetable Soup and Campbell's Condensed Chicken Noodle soup had levels ranging from 54.5 to 134 ppb. Some noncanned products, such as StarKist Chunk Light Tuna packaged in a plastic pouch, had no detectable levels of BPA, while their canned counterparts did. But other products contained BPA even though they weren't packaged in cans: Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup in a plastic container still had detectable levels of BPA, which was suspected as coming from the metal lid. BPA was also detected in one brand of microwave-in-the-bag frozen green beans.
Read more about BPA:
"BPA Free" Products May Still Contain BPA

A Chemical Threat Gains New Urgency
Questionable Chemical Could Seep Into Your Soda
Chemical in Plastics May be Especially Harmful to Women
WHAT IT MEANS: The report's authors noted that their tests were only a "snapshot" of the industry, and weren't intended to skewer particular brands. But the results support the idea that eating canned food exposes us to a chemical that's been gaining more and more attention for its unhealthy effects. "I'd say the number one source, 99 percent of our exposure to BPA, comes in the lining of food cans, dental sealants, and other plastics," says Bruce Lanphear, MD, MPH, professor of health sciences at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia and a researcher of BPA.
While all this may seem scary and overwhelming, it just underscores the need to eliminate the exposures to BPA that you can so your body can better cope with the ones you can't:
• Favor fresh food over canned. It's hard to say how big a dent in your BPA exposure you'll make if you eliminate canned food from your pantry. The chemical has been detected in drinking water funneled through polyvinyl chloride (PVC) water pipes. A 2003 study from Spain found BPA migrating into food products from the PVC cling wrap used to wrap the food. BPA is also used as an antimicrobial and antioxidant in cosmetics, "In the U.S, it appears that we're getting barraged by BPA from a whole bunch of different sources," says Frederik vom Saal, PhD, professor in the division of biological science at the University of Missouri, Columbia, and one of the world's leading researchers on BPA's health effects. "But the people making things out of BPA won't tell you that BPA is in the item. There are 8 billion pounds of this stuff made every year. Where is it going?" Clearly, more work needs to be done to determine how this chemical gets into our bodies. That said, food and beverage cans are one exposure source you can control.
• Go for glass. In 2008, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel heated 10 plastic containers labeled "microwave-safe" in both a microwave and an oven and found that BPA leached from all of them. Use glass or ceramic containers to reheat food, and don't cover the containers with plastic film; use a damp paper towel or glass cover instead.
• Complain. More and more research is finding that "there is no safe dose of BPA," says vom Saal. Animal studies are finding that abnormal reproductive development can occur with as little as 2.4 ppb BPA, but, says vom Saal, "We're talking about parts-per-billion exposure of a chemical that can [alter cells] at levels a thousand times lower than that." Tell your representatives that you want the Food and Drug Administration to listen to the government scientists raising the alarm about BPA, not the lobbyists who stand to lose money from regulation. "What most people in the U.S. don't get is that a major part of determining whether people are told that things are a health hazard or not is due to cost-benefit analysis. The cost to the public isn't taken into account, but the cost to a handful of manufacturers [of BPA] is," says vom Saal. "These are people like GE, Dow Chemical, and Bayer Corporation—powerful lobbying groups—and their profits trump the health of your child in our regulatory process."
Also call the makers of your favorite canned foods, and ask them to come up with BPA-free packaging. The more their customers pressure them to find alternatives, the more resources the companies will put into making the change. And, in fact, it's already been done elsewhere: In 1997, Japanese manufacturers voluntarily stopped using BPA in food cans and other products, says vom Saal. "Within a couple years, reports were coming out in the Japanese and American scientific literature that levels of BPA in Japanese people had dropped over 50 percent," he notes.

Judas Priest "Nostradamus".
2 Attachment(s)
Hello, Fellows.
The Metallian is back full power with Nostradamus!!! Let us enjoy it...
All the Best,
Re: Judas Priest "Nostradamus".
Love the album, and loved the Metal Masters tour.
I really really really like (I don't want to put love...that'd be creepy) Scott Travis.
He is one of my 3 biggest drum idols.
Even though this isn't Judas Priest (it's Iron Maiden) I still love this picture and I'll put it up anyway
And here Judas Priest is (These aren't *my* pictures, cell phone pics didn't turn out well)
And this is Motorhead. I got this pic off of Youtube (print screen & paint) and it's not my concert (wan't in Chicago) but it's what I saw pretty much.
Unfortunatly, I didn't get any pics of Testament or Black Sabbath yet.
I should do that.
Re: Judas Priest "Nostradamus".
Thanks, mate!
I fully agree, in await of your pictures! I am a Judas Priest follower since 10 years old.

For Judas Priest followers...Fuel for Life!!!
Re: Judas Priest "Nostradamus".
Nostradamus is terrible. They are officially a parody of a parody of themselves and with JP that's really tough to do. Tipton is a great writer at times and I think it's cool that they are old enough to do whatever the hell they want, it's just too bad it's crap worthy of Spinal Tap. Some, SOME of the tunes would be ok if they weren't so lyrically silly, but it should not be a double album, no way. Angel of Retribution was much better, IMO.
I was at the Toronto MM tour to see Motorhead (which it looks like that pic might be from, actually) and they were great, as always. Dio still sounds as good as he ever did and Rob didn't sound as bad as I was prepared for. Lemmy always sounds like the voice of God.
Re: Judas Priest "Nostradamus".
It wasn't that bad.
Although it was wierd almost every song has an opening song to it.
Re: Judas Priest "Nostradamus".
That is the main point with Judas Priest, they are unique, different and Rob Halford kept his vocals with his unusual operatic style. JP's influence it can be heard in Iron Maiden and Queensryche.
Re: Judas Priest "Nostradamus".
Just the original title of "Nostradamus" means a lot, if do you know who was?
Re: Judas Priest "Nostradamus".
My band is opening for them when they tour here next Tuesday. Cant wait!
Ill see if I can get some happy snaps.

Trespassing hearings for Occupy Tampa on eve of 6-month anniversary
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Six months ago tomorrow a small group gathered in downtownâs Gaslight Square for the first Occupy Tampa rally. In the intervening months, activists migrated from Gaslight to a sidewalk along Curtis Hixon Park, where a permanent occupation began. But there were many arrests for trespassing there, and the group eventually migrated several miles away to a private park in West Tampa. But before that decision was made, activists tried to occupy a park across the Hillsborough River from Curtis Hixon. Before dawn on December 2, police arrested 29 members of Occupy Tampa in Riverfront Park. Their cases are working their way through the court system and Occupy Tampa activist Bailey Riley was at todayâs hearings.

Chimney Design question
I am considering designing a small smoker box into the chiney, with a short horizontal run. That way the oven can also be the firebox for my smoker, and I can cut down on the size of the outdoor cooking center. I already have the gas grill.
Does this sound like a feasible idea? Any thoughts or ideas?
Thank you,
Wade Lively
Ping Alf for the answer to this one. Articulated chimneys are tricky & he's the guy with the most experience here with that kind of thing.

The Rover Group has invented a system that could reduce leg injuries in car crashes. Car occupants' knees are often injured when they bounce off springy interior panels. Rover says the answer is to fit the panels on a ratchet mechanism that collapses under impact, reducing injuries (GB 2 335 171). Each ratchet is made just strong enough to withstand the forces applied when panels are fitted, but weak enough to break in an accident.

Jury is still out
They certainly helped in T2 but this last second addition to my order may have needed more research. I plan to burn the loose ends and see if that cures the fraying problem after cutting them to size. My wife installed them trying to help so maybe I missed some instructions. They work and are far better than tying but my expectations were higher. Maybe a more expensive item was in order this time, or a better consumer. Worth the money.
Summerville, SC
Great product
Personally I enjoy this product because I never have to stop in the middle of a long run to retie my shoes. I would recommend getting this.
Louisville, KY
Yanks are great.
This was my first experience with Yanks. Nice option for triathlon training. I ran with these for about 30 miles now. I had them to tight at first, but adjusted length a couple of times after first install. Lacing is always snug and getting my running shoes on/off is easy. Went to Yanks website and they carry more color options.
Too tight to be helpful
I just couldn't get the right "fit" to make the shoes easy to get on/off yet still wear like they would with trad. laces.
Michael G.
Jacksonville, AR
Love them!
I found them easy to install, just takes patience to adjust for the right comfort.
Weatherford, Texas
Great-once I figured it out
The directions on the website are terrible. They have 3 different sets of directions-technical video, funny video, and written. All three explain it a different way and there are key elements in each that are missed in the others. I am very mechanically inclined but it took me going through all 3 versions and putting the pieces together to figure it out. That being said, once i got it together and went running, I'll never use regular laces again. I also don't like that you have to get the sizing just right, or there is too much or too little slack to clip it into the toe clip. I think the Lock Laces are more simple and easy to use, less fancy but get the job done. In the future, I'll buy Lock Laceds, but these work great too.
Awesome product!
Took me a little bit to get them just right with my shoes, but once I did, they were great! I used them for my first triathlon and I was really stoked at how easy my shoes were to get on, even with sweaty feet from the ride. A little bag balm and those puppies slipped right on! No more fiddling with laces when my fingers are frozen!
Ashley L.
Santa Cruz, CA
works as advertised
I'm easily confused, so at first glance, the installation instructions seemed rather weak, but after lacing one shoe incorrectly, I was able to identify the error and get both shoes laced properly.

An avid runner, Pierce Pape founded Yankz in the spring of 1999. Pape competed in 32 races that year, but it was while training for the Boston Marathon that he discovered a simple, convenient product that improved his performance. Pape's innovation not only kept him from ever tying his shoelaces again, but he also found that his shoes fit better. Knowing that other runners and athletes could benefit from his product, Pape developed the Yankz Sure Lace System.
Offering a personalized fit with two different points of adjustment on the shoe, the Yankz Sure Laces provide the fastest and most comfortable fit possible. With expandable lace cords that form to your foot to reduce blistering and bruising, Yankz laces are uniquely designed to suit the demands of walking, jogging, running, cycling, aerobics, and more. The Sure Laces replace a shoe's original laces so that shoes can be slipped on and off easily, and so that runners can quickly and easily tighten or loosen them.
As a company, Yankz is dedicated to developing innovative products that inspire everyday athletes to achieve their personal bests. Pape saw the need to reinvent a 400-year-old shoelace so that it's easier to use and fits more comfortably. As a result, the company believes innovation is a constant process of improvement. Today, the Sure Lace System can be found in every state and in over 20 countries, as Yankz strives to support people participating in active lifestyles.

It was a mistake in my PHP. I didn't get the error message because the

If I looked at my browser's cache for the validation image with a binary

Real Housewives of New York
Aviva Drescher Calls Paul Ryan's Anti-Abortion Stance "Repulsive"
It's never particularly clear which side of the political divide our favorite Real Housewives stars fall on, but new The Real Housewives of New York cast member Aviva Drescher makes her opinion of the Republican candidate for Vice Presidency, Paul Ryan, crystal.
Ryan recently defended his pro-life stance when it comes to women's rights. As CNN pointed out, "Ryan defended a bill he co-sponsored last year with ['legitimate rape' Congressman Todd] Akin and other House Republicans that bestowed 'personhood' rights on fertilized embryos, which would allow states or Congress to determine the legality of abortions."
Aviva tells HollywoodLife that she finds Ryan's view "repulsive."
"I think that it's a repulsive statement," the statuesque blonde says. "The woman's right to her own body is theirs and I'm completely, completely pro-choice."
Whether or not you agree with the politics, is it refreshing or just annoying to hear a reality star's vehement opinion on the Presidential election and the candidates' various policies?
We think, in this case, it's rather fantastic.
The Real Housewives of New York airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Simple Bread - advice
I have never cooked bread in my WFO, tried a few times with a bread making machine but that's it.
I have read some of the threads and it sounds a little complicated, can anyone recommend a really simple bread to start with which I can try and then build from there.
I want to make better use of the oven and bread seems a logical step.
Any suggestions warmly received.
One other thing Happy Christmas to everyone, it would be interesting to count the number of WFO used on Christmas Day/Boxing Day across the world!
Re: Simple Bread - advice
I for one will get something together for you!
Best wishes to you and yours!
P.S. Check out the FornoBravo store and get the Hearth Bread E-book...can download it free as an Adobe file...lots of great info
Re: Simple Bread - advice
I have been doing this Pagnotta recipe. I am very new to WFO cooking and this recipe has turned out very good for me. Although the amount of Biga they recommend seems too small based on other recipes I have seen. Does anyone have any input on the Biga Quantity in the recipe?
Bread Recipe
italian bread (pagnotta)
Biga Recipe
Re: Simple Bread - advice
First, don't sweat it! Get a recipe and start. Learn as you cook. I've done a pile of bread over the past 2 months, and each batch gets a little better. This is the recipe I've settled in with.
100% - Flour (King Arthur Bread Flour)
64% - Water
1% - Salt
1% - Oil (evoo)
1% - Brown Sugar
Flour – 1120 grams
Water – 726 grams
IDY – 7 grams (1 pack IDY)
Salt – 11 grams
Oil – 6 gram
Sugar – 11 grams (Brown)
Mix ingredients until incorporated
Let rise
- quick rise 2-4 hour bulk rise covered on counter; or:
- slow rise 16-24 hour bulk rise in fridge (Check after 4 or so hours, you may need to punch down once)
- then let rise on counter 1-2 hours after refrigeration
Punch down & bulk rise for 1-2 hours again
Shape loafs & let rise for 1-2 hours
Spritz top of loafs with water (you can also steam the oven prior to putting the loaves in and again as you put them in)
Loafs are done when internal temp of the loaf is 205* or approximately 20-30 minutes.
I use a digital scale and a probe thermometer to tell when done. I normally put the loaves in the oven when the floor is 550* or less.
Good Luck.
Re: Simple Bread - advice
Good advice 70chevelle. Practice, enjoy, eat; repeat. :-) You might want to get a copy of one of the good bread cookbooks -- either the Bread Baker's Apprentice or Bread by Hamelman, and spend a little time ready the theory and technique pages.
Bread baking is a great hobby.
Re: Simple Bread - advice
Re: Simple Bread - advice
The simplest bread I know of is the NO-knead recipe. You can look it up on the New york times web site or search this forum for the particulars. I do it this way.
600 grams flour
4 grams salt
4 grams IDY
Stir together
add 440 grams water and stir until mixed - about 1 minute
Cover and let it sit on the counter for 8 to 16 hrs
Transfer to a greased bowl and smak it a few times ( maybe 4 shoves)
let it rest for 2 hours
preheat the oven and the cooking container to 450 degrees. You must have a container with a lid for this to work. If you are cooking in the WFO any temperature below 600 will do. I use the inards from a old crock pot for this .You can find them at any thrift store for about $3. Do not grease or flour the cooking pot in any fashion.
Slide the dough into the cooking pot. PUt the lid on and cook for about 1/2 hrs. Remove the lid and cook for about 15 more minutes to brown the top.
Remove from the oven and turn it out onto a cooling rack.
Easy and almost fool proof. Watch the video on the NYT site, it will help.
Re: Simple Bread - advice
You can improve on the no-knead recipe (imo) by changing to "low-knead". I usually base my bread on variations from this basic recipe for 2 loaves:
1 kg white flour
670 ml water
20g sea salt
8 g instant dry yeast
Mix the dry ingredients together well
Add the water and stir until just mixed in. Add a little more water if needed to pick up leftover crumbs of flour that won't mix in easily.
Leave to stand for 10-30 minutes
Stretch the dough out and fold over itself a few times - basically very light kneading, but only a few strokes. Repeat this step twice more, leaving the dough for 1 hour in between.
After the last stretch and fold, pat the dough down to degas it slightly, then shape into loaves. There are lots of good resources here on how to shape loaves.
Leave each loaf to rise for around 1 hour. The benefit of using a fairly small amount of yeast as in this recipe is that you get a longer window of opportunity to get your loaves in the oven - they won't puff up as quickly and deflate again before you can bake them.
Cook until 80-90C in the center.
Once you have got this down pat, you can start experimenting with using even less yeast and a longer fermentation to develop the flavour, different flours and grains, natural leavening, etc.
Re: Simple Bread - advice
Buy the book "The Breadmaker's Apprentice" by Peter Reinhart. Read the introductory chapters. Then go directly to the recipe for pain à l'ancienne.
You will find it dead easy to make, even your first loaf. And it is a thoroughly tasty loaf of bread. Your life will never be the same.
Re: Simple Bread - advice
Thanks everyone, great advice as usual.
I will try some bread over the xmas break and let you know how I get on.

Kevin C. White, 61, of 215 Little Ave., Ridgway, died Friday, Feb. 28, 2014 at home with his wife and daughter by his side.
He was born June 7, 1952 in Ridgway, the son of the late Howard and Mary White.
He graduated from Elk County Catholic High School, class of 1970.
On April 18, 1976, he married Linda Parulo.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch swim and dive team captured the District 9-AA team championship on Saturday as they finished the meet with a total of 387 points. The meet was held at the St. Marys Area High School Natatorium.
Clearfield was second with 319 points followed by Bradford with 298 and Brookville 81.
In the boys team race, Clearfield won the team title with 410 points followed by St. Marys 341, Brookville 155 and Bradford 136.
The Ridgway Elkers captured the District 9 Class A boys basketball championship Saturday night by defeating the Elk County Catholic Crusaders by a 48-41 score in the title game played at Clarion University's Tippin Gymnasium.
RIDGWAY – The 15th annual Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous ended in a strange way Saturday: under sunny skies and favorable temperatures.
Those staked out at the auction were shielded from the wind by the buildings along Court Street as Chuck Eckert, an auctioneer from Buffalo, N.Y., flew through the auction in just under four hours.
A capacity crowd filled St. Marys Area High School's Carpin Auditorium on Saturday night as country artist Sawyer Brown took to the stage in an event presented by St. Marys Auto Body.
Guitar comedian Kier took to the stage first and got the crowd laughing at his impersonations of musicians such as Sting, Roy Orbison, and Bruce Springsteen. He even got the audience involved during part of the show, as he called up a volunteer to hold his harmonica during part of his act.
The Most Reverend Lawrence T. Persico, J.C.L., Bishop of Erie, conferred the sacrament of Confirmation on candidates from St. Mary's, Sacred Heart, and Queen of the World parishes on Sunday afternoon in a joint ceremony held at Queen of the World Parish. Also present to receive the sacrament were several adult candidates, as well as a few candidates from St. Leo's Parish and St. Henry's Program.
RIDGWAY – In yet another sign of the changing times, the Elk County Courthouse in downtown Ridgway will transition to a single point of entry starting Monday morning.
The only available entrance to the building will be the back door of the courthouse-- in front of the Elk County Prison-- as all other doors to the facility will be locked.
RIDGWAY – Of all the intricate pieces of artwork throughout the 15th annual Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous, one particular piece sitting on Court Street has stood out to many passersby throughout the week.
The carving masterpiece, created by Mark Bosworth of Massachusetts, features a young girl with angel's wings embracing the neck of a horse. It is a memoriam piece paying tribute the late Amanda Putney of Royalston, Mass., who died in a December 2012 car crash.
Rudolph J. "Rudy" Pretak, 88, of 621 Horner Rd., Wilcox, died Friday morning, Feb. 28, 2014 at Penn Highlands Elk in St. Marys following a brief illness.
He was born Aug. 16, 1925 in Wilcox, son of the late Stephen and Mary Bursuda Pretak.
He married Mae E. Maiers on Feb. 18, 1950 in Holy Rosary Church, Johnsonburg. She preceded him in death on Jan. 8, 2000.
He resided in Wilcox all his life, attended Wilcox High School, and was a member of St. Anne's Church and the Wilcox Sportsmen's Club.
Perry D. Stahli, 69, of North Mill Street, Ridgway, formerly of Johnsonburg, died suddenly on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014 at his home.
He was born April 22, 1944 in Johnsonburg, the son of the late Michael and Garnet (Wolf) Stahli. A Lutheran by faith, he enjoyed playing bingo, and watching wrestling, the Pirates, and old westerns on television.

Though Gary Yealdhall as Seymour and Lauran Taylor as Audrey are effective singers and convincing players in the Pasadena Theatre Company's production of "Little Shop of Horrors," both were upstaged by the man-prop that is Audrey II.
The voracious carnivorous plant that keeps growing is given life, character and a large baritone voice by Phil Greenfield. Cajoling, then demanding to have his insatiable appetite appeased, Greenfield gleefully grows menacing as his voice expands with the plant's burgeoning bulk. Audrey II is a work of art, painted and perfected at Chesapeake Center. The smaller version is manipulated by Fred Wells; Brian Alls animates the large version.

Celtic Crushed Stone Chess Pieces
Celtic Crushed Stone Chess PiecesThe Celtic people were inhabitants of areas of Western Europe, particularly Ireland, Wales, Brittany and the Highlands of Scotland.
They were subjected to raids by Vikings and Norsemen and our chess set is the story of a battle between the Irish King, Brian Boru, and the Viking Invaders.
The battle took place at Clontarf in 1014AD near Dublin and was a fierce encounter. Although the Celts managed to defeat the Viking invaders, their King, Brian Boru, was slain.
This chess set features the principal characters involved in the battle with authentic and historically correct artefacts shown in splendid detail.

Cash for Purses, a charitable company has been offering to buy over Lindsay Lohan's used handbags. This was reported by RadarOnline.com.
The company's founder and CMO, Trent Silver, told Radar,"I invited Lindsay Lohan to contact my company because we are a high-end and designer handbag buyer, and we'll purchase her excess bags to help pay her bills. Lindsay's purses are equity. Many girls don't even realize what they're sitting on in their closet, but Lindsay can take advantage for a very fair payday."
"If Lindsay wants to show her charitable side, we're willing to work with her," he added. "I'll personally match the total value of all her bags and send it to a charity of her choice."

Ooh la la, it's hot outside. Let's make the coldest desserts we can.
Read Whole Story
Of course the Italians are responsible for this frozen dessert.
When a tall glass of iced tea won't cool you off, stick it in the freezer. Top it with lemon cream and you've got a winner for these hot summer days.
The tartness of summer's signature beverage, lemonade, seems like something that could stand up to the floral, and sometimes very perfumey, notes of dried blossoms.
Not all of us have space for an ice cream maker in our kitchens -- it's an appliance that really only gets used one season of the year. So what do you...
If you've ever had an incredibly rich brownie or slice of chocolate cake, chances are a secret ingredient was used in that recipe. Can you guess what ...
