- Description
- Volunteers with Artists Building Communities have been building emergency tiny homes for Oakland's unhoused residents since March. But the city's new controversial policy could restrict how and where homeless people are allowed to live.
The policy bans homeless people living in encampments from sleeping in parks and near homes, businesses and schools but allows them to set up camp elsewhere. Advocates and homeless people have said the policy criminalizes them and pushes them out of sight without providing opportunities for permanent or transitional housing.

- A man shot and killed by San Francisco police on Oct. 10 refused to heed officers’ orders and ran toward them just before they opened fire, according to body camera footage released Monday.
In the minutes before police shot him on Oct. 10, 21-year-old Cesar Antonio Vargas carjacked a woman at knifepoint, attempted to enter another vehicle and pushed a man in the chest just after he disembarked a bus, police said. Graphic video footage showed Vargas facing off with two officers who ordered him to “drop it” and “get down on the ground” before he rushed toward them. Police, who fired four shots, said he was armed with a knife.

- Description
- The Third Wave coffee community is notorious for spurning any ingredient that might mask its precisely roasted, painstakingly sourced beans. So we were shocked when Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters’ Nick Cho agreed to try his hand at reinventing the PSL.
Even if his concoction, smoky and sweetly nutty, gentle with its spicing, takes “spice for pumpkins” rather than “spiced pumpkin” as its starting point, the resulting drink speaks to us of fall. The name of the drink riffs on Karl the Fog, legendary Twitter feed, as well as the London Fog, a black-tea latte served in certain cafes.
Ingredients:
• 4 grams lapsang souchong whole-leaf tea (1 heaping tablespoon)
• 6 ounces water, just off boil
• 1 teaspoon cardamom
• 1 teaspoon dark cocoa powder
• 2 shots espresso (roughly 2 ounces)

- Description
- Making curd is a straightforward technique that’s also incredibly versatile. One base recipe can be used for pretty much any kind of citrus — a “choose your own adventure” recipe, if you will.
Exquisitely tart Pink Eureka lemons will create a vibrant version, while mellow Cara Cara oranges will be tend toward the sweet and floral end of the spectrum. (For a fun weekend project, try making several different kinds and taste them side by side to see how different the flavor profiles of each can be.)
What to do with your chilled and finished curd? Use it as a garnish for cheesecake or vanilla ice cream; a filling for fruit tarts; or as a topping for scones.
For a quick and easy brunch spread, add a few heaping spoonfuls of the citrus curd to a cup or two of fromage blanc, mascarpone or cream cheese, and stir until completely combined. Use the spread as a filling for shortbread cookies or as a lively schmear for toast or bagels.

Absolutely nothing — which is why Cassandra Chen quit her job as a junior trader to become a restaurant pastry chef. She started her company, CC Made, with the caramel recipe she had perfected while working at Jardiniere.
“I realized a lot of commercial stuff just didn’t taste the way I remembered it when we were making it with real butter and real cream in the kitchen,” says Chen. “It’s just about finding the right balance of salt, baking soda and butter,” says Chen of developing her brittle recipe.
She would test batch after batch, making minuscule changes — adding ¼ teaspoon baking soda, an additional ounce of butter or a pinch more salt — before landing on the right combination. “I’ve always said you have to develop a flavor that you don’t mind eating a lot of,” Chen says. Her children and husband, Manuel Guzman, are the official tasters.

Walker says his social phobias stem from when he was homeless at 19. For nearly five years he did what he had to do to survive. He worked odd jobs and often squatted in abandoned buildings.
Now, it's apparent that Fish is the one providing support for Walker, not the other way around.

- Description
- Deep in the California delta are members of the Super Secret Ship Club, a loose fraternity of men and women who’ve wanted nothing more than to hold out on the water. Most are just legends today — but Bill Conner, 89, is alive. Once an active-duty U.S. Marine, he has flown an American flag above his floating compound on a secluded arm of the San Joaquin River for four decades.
He and his wife once owned what used to be a family resort, called Lost Isle. After years of entertaining summer boaters on a spit of palm trees and sandy riverbanks, they sold the property. It became a party destination for the muscle-boat set with thatched-roof bars and wet-T-shirt contests — until a fatal stabbing presaged its shutdown. After they sold, Conner’s wife moved to the mainland. He moved to a barge.
Since 1981, that barge has morphed into a convoy of anchored boats and platforms outfitted with tiki decor that Conner has called home. The peculiar river fortress houses...

- When Chris Willson bought the 293-foot-long Aurora, a “last of its kind” 65-year-old luxury cruise ship, he didn’t mean to end up in the delta. Rescuing a derelict cruise ship isn’t a project for everyone. But dreamers, dropouts and other unconventional sorts have long found their way to the California delta’s watery frontier.
For more than a decade, Willson has struggled to save the vessel, first from the scrapyard, then from prowlers and county regulators, and, almost always from its own slow decay. His hope is to restore the German-built craft to its post-World War II grandeur. The pandemic has only complicated matters, tightening the supply of materials and labor for the project.
“Going from a beautiful life in Santa Cruz to the delta is not the luxury you might think, but we’ve made it comfortable,” said Willson, 48. “And think, what would have happened to this boat if I hadn’t stepped in?”

His organic honey operation, Marshall's Farm Honey in American Canyon near Napa, produces more than 50,000 pounds of honey per year.

Marshall comes from a long line of beekeepers. His great-grandmother raised hives in the Yellowstone area, and Marshall helped his grandmother work a few hives on the family farm in Lodi growing up. But bees and honey weren't Marshall's first vocational choice.
As a young man he worked on television productions, taught and even did a stint as a carpenter, but nothing felt like the perfect fit. Then his father was paralyzed in a car accident, and Marshall came home to help run the corn and wheat farm.

- Bay Area residents woke up Wednesday to a strange, almost apocalyptic orange-red sky that became even more ominous later in the morning as smoke from multiple fires across Northern California continued to smother the area.
Many are probably wondering, does this mean it’s unsafe to go outside? Not necessarily, said Jarrett Claiborne, an air quality meteorologist. In fact, the air quality index (AQI) for most of the Bay Area is at moderate levels, which means the air quality is acceptable and only a small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution may have some health concerns.
“The good thing about it is most of the (smoke) is staying aloft,” Claiborne said. “The sun is able to scatter those smoke particles that produce this apocalyptic orange color that we’re seeing.”

- Ikejime: How to Kill Fish Humanely & Make Them Tastier
- Runtime
- 1:45

- 6 years ago
- Description
- Saison Chef Joshua Skenes demonstrates the Japanese practice called ikejime. It’s a way of killing and processing fish that reduces its stress and keeps it in an immaculate state.
Methods vary depending on the type and size of fish, but the fish is always handled carefully and killed swiftly after removal from the tank or ocean, either with a cut on both sides of its spinal cord or a spike to the brain. Then, its nerves are quickly disabled, usually with a long wire that goes in and out of its spinal cavity. Afterward the fish is bled out, chilled in an ice-water bath, then aged under refrigeration for hours, days or even weeks depending on the type of fish and how it will be served.

- Avian Botulism Kills 40,000 Birds, Threatens Millions More in Klamath Refuge

- Description
- Avian botulism has killed more than 40,000 waterfowl and shorebirds at the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge in the past year, biologists say. It is the worst outbreak in 40 years.
Avian botulism is a bacteria that can paralyze waterfowl such as ducks and geese, and shorebirds such as stilts and grebes. The outbreak is caused by sustained hot weather, warm water, receding wetlands from lack of freshwater and crowding.
Amid the epidemic, crews have rescued more than 2,000 birds for rehabilitation and release. After rehabilitation, the ducks are released near clean, freshwater in the refuge.
