The Villa
The estate offers a 270-degree panorama of the popular Manuel Antonio bay and a beautiful rain forest teaming with monkeys, sloths and tropical birds.
The complex is comprised of both the main villa, a mansion of steel, glass and natural rock as well as a rustically-designed entry cottage on our 2.5 acre rain-forest estate. We feature 10 boutique-style bedrooms all with their own uniquely tiled entrances in Italian Bisazza tile as well as their own private baths with organic bath products and rain showers.
Ideal For: Private Groups, Families, Weddings & Retreats
The ocean-view villa is perfect for large families, entertaining, events & weddings. We feature a ballroom-disco main level bar, a covered dining terrace and bar with sweeping views as well as an open roof deck w/ bar and jacuzzi that's perfect for below-the-stars dining! The Butler see to it that you are impeccably attended.
Villa Features
The main villa features two distinct "zones" for either separate events or one combined event featuring two distinctive areas all within one villa.
The Below Canopy Zone occupies the ground floor and mezzanine levels of the main villa and consist of the following social areas:
Double-height lounge area featuring well-displayed art pieces, an always-manned reception desk and men's and women's restrooms. The elevator lobby on floor one is lit primarily by a dual-sided 350 gallon salt water aquarium also open to the Living Room.
Large, operable sliding glass corners bring the ocean and jungle into this impressive double-height space. Perfect for receptions or parties, the space features a full bar with plasma TV as well as immediate proximity to the pool and jungle terrace spaces. Wired for professional club sound, a DJ platform is in the mezzanine overhead.
VILLA LOWER FLOORS: Pool Area And Underwater Lounge
Footsteps from the Living Room / Event's Space and with access to the first level bar, the pool area boasts both ocean views as well as an intimate connection with the jungle. A built-in underwater seating area as well as an infinity edge makes the coral stone-finished pool area truly unique.
If first impressions are everything, the villa does not disappoint. On entry, visitors are first treated to a one-of-a-kind, dual sided, mosaic mural standing 45 feet tall and forming the tip of the "ship-shaped" villa. This mural is the backdrop for the Entry Event's Courtyard and water-feature / Kid's pool. Underwater jets give ship-like motion to the building and underwater lighting illuminates the mural and gives nautical character to the villa.
****The villa is only minutes walk to the beach, and located only 2 hours drive / 20 minute flight from the San José Airport
Perched high on the fourth level, the spacious Dining and Events Terrace can seat 50+ for dinner and shelter over a hundred for receptions in all weather. With perhaps the best view in the villa, the terrace features teak wood wrapped columns and beams as well as a pitched tropical woven ceiling with warm illumination.
Serving the Dining and Events Terrace is the Terrace Bar. The Bar features a mirrored backdrop for reflecting the magnificent view as well as a Plasma TV.
The entire top floor of the villa is a rooftop deck with commanding views of picturesque Manuel Antonio Bay and the above jungle canopy. This large, pointed space resembling the deck of a ship, features a complete bar as well as an infinity edge Jacuzzi cantilevered high over the entry water feature some 60 feet below! The roof-deck is perfect for weddings, parties and yoga.

A Martian Odyssey by Stanley G. Weinbaum
Filed under: Online Audio
A Martian Odyssey is a classic of alien human interaction. Isaac Asimov said of it and of Weinbaum:
"With this single story [A Martian Odyssey], Weinbaum was instantly recognized as the world's best living science fiction writer, and at once almost every writer in the field tried to imitate him."
It is also argued that this is the first story to satisfy Astounding editor John W. Campbell's famous challenge:
"Write me a creature who thinks as well as a man, or better than a man, but not like a man."
When it was republished, just 4 years later, in Startling Stories, A Martian Odyssey was added to the "Scientifiction Hall Of Fame":
And with that that same printing was this extolling editorial explanation:
A Martian Odyssey
By Stanley G. Weinbaum; Read by Gregg Margarite
1 |MP3| – Approx. 58 Minutes [UNABRIDGED]
Publisher: LibriVox.org
Published: January 13, 2009
Early in the twenty-first century, nearly twenty years after the invention of atomic power and ten years after the first lunar landing, the four-man crew of the Ares has landed on Mars in the Mare Cimmerium. A week after the landing, Dick Jarvis, the ship's American chemist, sets out south in an auxiliary rocket to photograph the landscape. Eight hundred miles out, the engine on Jarvis' rocket gives out, and he crash-lands into one of the Thyle regions. Rather than sit and wait for rescue, Jarvis decides to walk back north to the Ares. First published in Wonder Stories, July 1934.

LibriVox: Pygmalion's Spectacles by Stanley G. Weinbaum
Filed under: Online Audio
Pygmalion's Spectacles was first published in 1935 in the aptly named Wonder Stories magazine. Four years after it's first publication it was reprinted in Startling Stories as a "classic" and it was placed in their "Scientifiction Hall Of Fame." It was reprinted again in Fantastic Story magazine in the Spring 1955 issue. Three magazine publications is a rare occurrence for any SF story. So, what makes this story special?
Well, this tale of utopia, immortality, and romance, is also, most probably, the very first story to feature the concept of virtual reality.
Here's the description from the Wikipedia entry:
A comprehensive and specific fictional model for virtual reality was published in 1935 in the short story Pygmalion's Spectacles by Stanley G. Weinbaum. In the story, the main character, Dan Burke, meets an elfin professor, Albert Ludwig, who has invented a pair of goggles which enable "a movie that gives one sight and sound […] taste, smell, and touch. […] You are in the story, you speak to the shadows (characters) and they reply, and instead of being on a screen, the story is all about you, and you are in it."
And though the ideas may be pioneering, the plot of Pygmalion's Spectacles is very similar to Fitz-James O'Brien's The Diamond Lens, itself an excellent SF tale. The tone of their respective endings differs, but their plot, in which a man falls in love with an intangible woman, is straight out of the Greek mythology that Weinbaum alludes to. And they both use science, rather than magic to get to their respective endings.
There is, I should also point out, a LibriVox |MP3| recording of the Metamorphoses by Ovid, a 2,000 year old poem featuring the myth of Pygmalion.
Here is a |PDF| made from the Pygmalion's Spectacles publication in Fantastic Story. And here are two LibriVox versions (my advice, go for the first one):

Commentary: How (and why) I make ebooks out of paperbooks
Filed under: Commentary
When you've got an old paperback book that's coming apart at the spine, with pages falling out all over the place it's time to consider making it immortal. In order to do that, in a reasonable period of time, you must kill the book. That's the hardest part of the process. The actual transformation is pretty easy.
To do it I use a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 which came with Adobe Acrobat Standard 9. Here are three videos I put together that show the process of turning a paperback into an ebook:
And here's a PDF |SAMPLE| of the result.
John writes in to say:
I read your recent post about digitizing print books with interest. I wondered if you might be able to expand on your process a bit, as it seemed to me like a few steps were missing from your video.
Indeed, here are my answers to some specific questions:
How do you actually sever all the pages from the book?
Most of the time this can be done just with your hands, at least with paperbacks and old magazines. The only tools I've ever needed to use are flathead screwdriver, to pry up staples found in some mags from the 1960s and 1970s, and scissors which I've used to trim out glued edges. If you're doing a hardcover with sewn binding you'd probably be able to do it with just an X-Acto knife.
When you run the pages through the scanner, does it scan both sides of the page simultaneously? Or do you have to scan them all twice?
The Fujitsu ScanSnap is not only superfast, it's also supersmart, it scans both sides at the same time (technically the term is "duplex").
If so, how do you collate them so the pages are all in the right order?
The bundled software, called ScanSnap Manager, allows you to customize the named output files. I usually have them just come out as 001, 002, 003, etc..
How long does it take you to digitize a single book?
Lets see I've just scanned the February 1976 issue of Fantasy & Science Fiction which has 128 pages (64 leaves). In the scanning itself I set a stopwatch. It took 1 minute 30 seconds to scan the entire mag. The software took another 45 seconds of processing. And I spent about 30 seconds correcting orientation on a few pages. So under three minutes for 128 pages
Have you tried this on hardcovers as well, or just paperbacks?
I don't think I've done more than a couple of hardcovers, they were really easy though as they were essentially unbound already.

Free Listens review: "A Martian Odyssey" by Stanley G. Weinbaum
"A Martian Odyssey" by Stanley G. Weinbaum
The tale is told by astronaut Dick Jarvis to his fellow explorers on the first human mission to Mars. After Jarvis's sidetrip from the expedition ends in a rocket crash, he sets out on foot for the main rocket. Along the way, he meets several alien species including the intelligent bird-like creature who introduces itself as "Tweel."
Tweel and Jarvis's attempts to communicate and understand one another comprises the leap that Weinbaum made over his contemporaries. Weinbaum imagines an intelligent being who is not just odd sounding or funny-looking, but actually alien in its thought patterns. This took the alien in science fiction from being either a bug-eyed antagonist or a green-skinned stand-in for other humans, to being a rational but unknown xenobiology species. Although this isn't among the best science fiction stories you'll ever read, it is a good one that all fans of the genre should know.
Rating: 7 / 10
The reader: Greg Margarite has read numerous science fiction stories for LibriVox. He has an expressive voice that clearly conveys the printed page. In this story, Jarvis is narrating his adventures to the other members of the crew, so Margarite gives the astronaut a cocky tone that fits well with his character. He emphasizes the international nature of the rest of the crew by giving them accents for their few lines. Margarite narrates other Weinbaum stories in the Collected Public Domain Works of Stanley G. Weinbaum at LibriVox, including the sequel to this story "The Valley of Dreams.
AUTHOR PAGES: Stanley G. Weinbaum and Philip Jose Farmer
Filed under: News
Hey folks! You'll be pleased to hear that I've added two new sections to our AUTHOR PAGES.
First up is STANLEY G. WEINBAUM. When alive, the man only sold fiction for 18 months. And, he's been dead for nearly 75 years – but his influence on Science Fiction was immensely impactful. His first story, A Martian Odyssey, was selected by the SFWA for inclusion in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume One, 1929-1964. That story's available BTW. And here are the HuffDuffer feeds for that page:

Also new in the AUTHOR PAGES section is a complete (and way too small) audiography of PHILIP JOSE FARMER! Thankfully the little that is listed does include one FREE novel, the first novel completed in our original SFFaudio Challenge. There's no need for a HuffDuffer feed for poor old FARMER because The Green Odyssey already has one.

Look in the used bin of any record store, and you'll probably find a dusty copy of 1996's Hee Saw Dhuh Kaet, the first--and might as well be only--record from Jersey City's once precious Rye Coalition. It's not a bad record. Well, it wasn't a bad record when I heard it last, about three years ago. I used to love a lot of stupid music, and looking back, Rye Coalition was probably pretty good, compared to all that other crap. Their music was butt-shaking but not style-conscious; they were chubby boys with a stupid sense of humor; they were under no impression that they had disproportionate amounts of soul, or were from any past decade. It was all rock, no rhetoric. Somehow, I thought that "Kitty kat, where's your money at?!" was the most brilliant chorus I'd ever heard.
In 1999, I heard Rye's second album, Lipstick Game--apparently, they had become Led Zeppelin. Although, briefly, I thought it was wonderfully masculine, it wasn't long before everyone woke up to the truth that they were now just another hair band. I skipped their Denton show that summer because watching The Parent Trap on television seemed like a better idea. Lipstick Game isn't in every used bin, because not nearly as many people actually purchased the record in the first place. Why? Most of us gave up on Rye Coalition then; we were glad to get it over with early, so that we weren't sucked into liking At the Drive-In. Does the recently released On Top matter? Not really.
It seems, however, that many still live in the year 1996. The programmers at MTV2 (a poorer substitute for The Box could not be imagined), the people who have flooded our homes with the likes of Thursday, certainly do. Whiny and wussy, Thursday sounds like all the bands that made Rye Coalition seem palatable back then; if Piebald is still around, it should be getting royalty checks. The Thursday aesthetic is manufactured earnestness: This was the case with its predecessors in 1996, but it is now glaringly apparent in the light of big bucks. Their album, Full Collapse, sounds like it was recorded rough, but wasn't. The video for "Understanding (In a Car Crash)" looks like it was homemade, but it wasn't. In fact, the video has broken down every element of this 1996 culture and remanufactured it, from the silly dances the singer does (which screams, "Play a guitar or something!") to the conspicuous "Pirate Radio" poster in the background. And I swear, every time I see that video, it gets longer.
In the face of inescapable pretty-boy nonsense, I can think of nothing more compelling than Oakland trio High on Fire's stoner rock. They're loud and heavy enough to reassure anyone that the '90s are over. Singer Matt Pike used to be in Sleep, and this is the direct descendant: The calculated magnitude of every riff is numbing, and live, it's actually visible. Instead of parading around with bravado or silly emotions, High on Fire is poker-faced and stagnant. Just what we need.

The kid is not his son ... for real. Brandon Howard, the alleged secret love child of Michael Jackson, is no such thing. The DNA test results that say so are bogus.
The resemblance is uncanny, but the genetic link just isn't there.
Yesterday, claims that the 31-year-old is the spawn of MJ took the web by storm, especially after the so-called evidence was presented at a press conference.
Alki David of FilmOn (dot) com put on quite a spectacle Thursday, claiming he had a DNA test proving singer Brandon Howard is the biological son of MJ.
Claiming he got Jackson's DNA from an old dental device he bought at auction, he said he's "99.99999%" sure Brandon's parents are MJ and Miki Howard.
The timeline made sense, as did the circumstantial connection; Miki is a singer and actress who was managed by Michael's father Joe in the early '80s.
The DNA test is complete crap, though.

FYI, apparently there's a pretty serious hole in the Grey Matter blogging software under certain conditions. For those of you using it, you can read about the fix here. [via MeFi]
This is totally cool, and it gives me an idea for LibraryU modules. I think we could do something similar for SWAN using the quizzes function, without worrying about a table of contents of data. Just straightforward interactive quizzes, no frames, and maybe even a little Flash or animated GIFs. SWANee, how I love you, SWANee....
Just a note to my fellow shifted librarians - if there's any way at all you can syndicate your content so that it can be added to news aggregators, you should do it. Not only does it make it easier for me (yes, this is a selfish request) to keep up with what you're posting, but it also makes it easier to spread your memes. I know that sounds like I'm advocating the spread of a disease, but after all, information is contagious!
So for my Blogger friends, if you have a spare minute, I encourage you to follow Steven's example and RSSify your site and put the little orange "XML" graphic on your site.
From the Mail Bag [via Boing Boing]
A U.S. Deputy Attorney General finds the Nigerian Email Scam in his inbox and responds. This ranks right up there with Yours Is a Very Bad Hotel!
For Dad:
Sheree sent me this funny story about Jason Black's Mini Schnauzer, and she suggests that we do the same. Seeing Rosie, the Cutest Puppy in the World, from work... awesome! Maybe we could hook Rosie up with Anubis, eh Andy? Bruce, send me the webcam or get me some video feeds of Anna Banana!
BTW, new pics of Rosie coming soon.
Next month, Kailee turns eight-years old. She's getting to be a good reader, but she's really a social creature. She loves, loves, loves to talk, and she's very artistic. So for her birthday, I think I'm going to give her a blog. A Radio blog, to be specific. Here's my reasoning, in no particular order.
Adding comments to your site forces you to start thinking about how you respond to other bloggers.
When someone leaves a comment for one of my posts, or when I want to respond to a message on someone else's Web site, I have to decide how best to handle this. Do I blog the response so that everyone benefits from seeing it and it's archived (and hope that the original person will see my response), or do I just leave a response comment on the other person's site? Or both? Is this also a matter of comments etiquette?
New forms of communication mean new decisions for disseminating information. And not that they're all that new, but they are for me so I'm having to look at comments as another information tool and evaluate how best to implement them in terms of the knowledge contained within.
Of course, some of this is new because the YACCS commenting system makes it so easy for me to blog the comments other people leave on my site. That way, I'm not the only one seeing them, and I become a funnel for that information as well.
What do you think? Leave me a comment. ;-)
Registered Radio User Eric went back and registered Radio, which is great for all of the reasons he mentions. Here's the part that's making my head spin, though:
John Robb is right that Mary Wehmeier's Radio Weblog is great. Besides the expert insights into figure skating and the behind-the-scenes run-downs, it's an excellent example of how easily blogging lets an individual share her knowledge with the entire world. Yes, knowledge management on a global scale. It will be interesting to go back and read Mary's comments about the various skaters in four years to see how they've changed. Also check out what happened when Mary tried to blog live with her Handspring Visor from the ice arena.
But my favorite part is reading about the figure skating "Posse," or as she puts it, the " 'been there-- done that' club'. " I'm just sorry I didn't point out this blog sooner, but of course you can go back and read through what she's already written.

Thanks Hmoll.
On the 40 class Pella continues to win over the 1st. It is now at 79nm of Rogues with 765nm to go. Not possible to catch him but a nice recover anyway. Just proving that they and their boat are the fastest on this race and that without that forced stop they would have won.
But regarding this race I would like to call your attention for the incredible race of the two last. Yes that it seems odd being them in last place and all but consider this:
The First group to arrive were racing in 2010/2011 boats (with exception of Marc that had a 2007 boat), the second group, formed by Louis Burton, Bertrand the Broc and Zbigniew Gutkowski have all 2006/2007 boats and they have a crew, I mean another racer teaming with them.
Alessandro di Benedeto and Tanguy Lamotte are racing in really antiques, 1998 boats that still have fixed keels while all the others have canting keels and that is not all:
The crew mate of Tanguy is François Damiens. The man is a famous Belgian comedian
. No experience in racing at high level. I guess that has helped to get the needed budget.
The one that races with Alessandro is Alberto Monaco. He is also not a racer, never raced at high level, it is a boat builder specialized in racing boats. If you look the videos posted by Alessandro you could see that they are always repairing something. I guess Alexandro knew that he needed an expert to keep that old boat in one piece.
So, they are not only racing in old boats without canting keel as they are racing practically alone and even so they are at only at 135nm from the last boat of the second group in the race, the ones with 2007 boats. That is an AMAZING feat. Their boats are about 15% slower and they should be at many hundreds of miles, not at a bit more than a hundred miles.
The second amazing thing that we can notice is that Alexandro is as fast as Tanguy (they are very close in a particular race). There is a big difference between the two in what regards racing experience. Tanguy (that is also a NA) is a winner of several top races since 2001. Alexandro was an adventurer with incredible exploits like the crossing of the Atlantic and the Pacific in a beach cat a solo non stop circumnavigation in a mini racer and the only serious race at top level was the last Vendee. On that one Tanguy was faster.
Well, not anymore he is sailing at the same level. These two deserve a fast boat, they have already proved they are better sailors that some that have much better and faster boats. I hope they will get them.

Battlefield 3: The Russian
Andy McNab, Peter Grimsdale
Battlefield 3: The Russian
Andy McNab, Peter Grimsdale
Andy McNab and Peter Grimsdale's Battlefield 3: The Russian is the most ambitious, and substantial thriller ever to be published alongside a game. It is the best in its class. Never before has there been such close, two-way collaboration between an author and the creators of the game itself. Nor has the resulting book been written by a thriller writer with such a strong track record of bestsellers behind him. SAS hero, McNab, has used Battlefield 3 as his starting point to write a story that breaks new ground and can't be found within the game. Displaying all of his trademark grit, authenticity and insight, Battlefield 3: The Russian is a scorching top-of-the-line military and a heart-stopping race against time…

New Balance Women's 623v2 Training Shoe 69 69
New Balance 623 This shoe has been the very best fit for me. As a senior citizen ,having proper fitting lace up shoes is necessary for stability.. November 9, 2014
NEW BALANCE THE SHOES I ORDERD ARE EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED,EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE&WELL MADE.LOVED DICKS FREE SHIPPING & SUPER FAST DELIVERY SERVICE October 29, 2014
just we wanted did not fit and had to take it to a store to get the correct size. Had to go to store to get correct price. October 16, 2014
Runs Small/Narrow??? I purchase athletic shoes all the time. In fact, I have had a pair of these New Balance Women's Training Show in the past with no issues. This time, however, I ordered online and upon arrival they were WAY too narrow. I put them on and raced out the door to the gym and by the time I made it thru my workout and out to the parking lot...I was literally limping. They were too tight/narrow and really uncomfortable. I had never had to return a pair of shoes I had worn before....but there was something WRONG with the sizing on these....anyhow...Dick's customer service was awesome. I called them on Friday and explained that i had thrown away the box and worn these to the gym but that they HURT and were too tight. On monday my new/replacement pair in a size larger arrived. These are actually a little too big but if I wear two pairs of socks they will be fine for the treadmill and rowing machine when I do my cardio workouts. I will be returning the first pair using the pre-paid shipping label that Dick's sent. While not happy with the product...I was thrilled with Dick's customer service level! Thanks! October 6, 2014
walking shoes Ordered wide and they are not wide enough. Shoe is comfortable jusy t putting them on but once walking the fit causes pain. November 19, 2014
COMFORTABLE I truly love my New Balance 623v2 training shoe. My hip pain is slowly going away with the combination of this shoe and my shoe inserts. They are definitey one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I wear them everyday now because none of my other shoes comfort my feet as well. September 30, 2014
returned this shoe Shoe was uncomfortable on the outer edges. Returned shoe and purchased something different November 11, 2014
Wide no longer wide This was always my shoe, reliable in size 8 wide. Should be no problem to order on-line, right? Wrong! This time it was a big surprise, in that the toe box now narrows much quicker than previous versions, and overall the shoe does not feels as roomy or wide. I had to return to store. There I even tried another pair of the same to make sure it wasn't just an anomaly. I wound up purchasing 8.5 medium. Store staff was helpful processing the exchange. Beware of on-line pricing: I purchased on-line with a $10 off $50 purchase coupon, which brought the $64.99 on-line price of the shoe to $54.99. However, in store, the everyday price was $54.99, so I felt like I was misled. November 5, 2014
review from purchase Great shoe always purchase this kind of shoe feels good September 20, 2014
always the best these are my favorite sneakers, and Dick's always has my exact size and color. November 3, 2014

DEFINITION of 'Owner Financing'
When a property buyer finances the purchase directly through the person or entity selling it. This often occurs when the prospective buyer cannot obtain funding through a conventional mortgage lender, or is unwilling to pay the prevailing market interest rates. The seller may agree to owner financing if he or she is having difficulty selling the property.
Owner financing may only cover part of the purchase price, with a smaller bank loan making up the difference.
Also known as "creative financing" or "seller financing".
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Owner Financing'
Owner financing is common in a buyer's market. In order to protect his or her own interests, the seller may require a higher down payment than a mortgage lender would. Down payments of 20% or more are not uncommon in owner financing. The deed to the property is usually not transferred to the buyer until all of the payments have been made, but because no institutional lenders are involved, the overall terms of financing are much more negotiable, and can be set up to provide benefits to both the seller and the buyer. The buyer saves on points and closing costs, while the seller can obtain monthly cash flows that provide a better return than fixed-income investments.

how do you store homemade bread?
hi chowhounds,
hubby and i have been baking our own bread pretty steadily this summer.
but we're running into a 'storage' problem. we don't have a bread box ... and don't really have space to go get one, either!
we used to wrap the bread (cooled) up in plastic wrap but this isn't very effective - wrap loses its stickiness and the bread gets hard quickly. plus, it's not very environmentally friendly. now, we're saving and reusing plastic bags that we happen to have from the bulk store or grocery store (although, we don't have much of those either as we're trying to use mesh bags for produce).
so, how do you store your homemade bread? any plastic-free tips?
A nice problem.
If your bread has a hard crust, you can leave it out, cut side down on the curring board. You dont want to put this type of bread in plastic since the crust will get soft and the inside stale. For standard american style bread, with soft crust, you can put it in a plastic bag if you want or handle it as above. If you have too much bread, you can freeze the extra - refrig is no good for bread. Stale bread is great for bread pudding or you can make bread crumbs, panzanella (bread salad, etc.)
You wlll need plastic bags for the freezer. You can reuse sturdy supermarket plastic bags or buy good quality bags for this purpose. My parents have been washing and reusing their bread bags an indefinte number of times for many years.
When I do bag it I use clean plastic grocery store bags but like you, I'm taking my own bags to the store now. So lately I've been doing what great-grandmas use to and placing it cut side down on a cheap small clean plastic cutting board reserved for that use. Seems to be working so far, the cut end stays soft, the crust stays nice. That said, a loaf in this house is gone in a day and a half.
This was my biggest issue with homemade bread... until recently. I don't have a bread box, but I do have a set of stainless-steel nesting bowls with lids that sit down inside the lip of the bowl (not a super-tight sealing lid). I use the biggest one. It seems to keep the moisture level just right, and even though the lid is plastic, it never touches the bread.
I have an L-shaped counter and the back corner is totally unusable anyway, so that's where it goes. I suppose you could keep it anywhere -- in a cupboard or on top of the fridge or whatever.
The only trick is that the bread has to be totally cool before it goes in there, like with most bread storage, I guess! :)
Good luck!
hi all,
thanks for the tips. we generally make breads with softer crusts so i guess it sounds like we gotta stock up on plastic produce bags.
Not plastic free but more environmental than disposable bags, you can just use tupperware and wash it since you use it a lot. You can get various sized pyrex, too. Since it's air tight, you can also cut it to make it fit.
I use my microwave as a bread box, since I don't use it for anything else. It seems to work OK.
For crustier breads, storing cut side down on the cutting board with a paper bag over it is best. For more tender crusts, waxed paper bags seem best - if you get large boxes of cereal, consider re-purposing the bag if its of waxed paper, as is common. Those cereal bags can be useful.
And do not refrigerate bread; bread stales faster at typical refrigerator temperatures than it does at room temperature.
anybody who makes bread enters a tacit contract with the starch empire. starch agrees to give us bread that is tastier and more healthful than most purchased breads. we agree to give starch the unrestricted right to start going stale without any ingredients to impede him. the fate of home loaves is defined by this contract.
as far as i can tell, there are only a few meaningful steps the baker can take in response to the inherent right to stale. first, promptly freeze any bread that won't be eaten within a couple of days. for some this might mean cutting a loaf in half and freezing the second piece. for others, like me, it means freezing the second loaf.
second, it seems smart to schedule baking for days when dinner will feature bread--might as well eat it when it is best. i'm thinking of meals such as blt's, fresh soup, steamed mussels, or eggs.
now in our house, there's an additional factor--dogs. the boys will grab any bread not put in the box, regardless of whether it is wrapped in plastic, waxed paper, or kryptonite.
re: silverhawk
well said.
re: silverhawk
Well, crusty loaves are a halfway decent substitute for a bone, aren't they.
Two weeks ago, I brought a long Pugliese-style loaf to a friend's party. As I was opening the door to go in, I neglected to pay attention to their Goldendoodle - I assumed he was coming to greet me, so when I bent down to scratch his underchin, he of course tried to seize the loaf. The loaf would have been too big for my late heavyweight Boston to have attempted to seize, even with his huge mouth, so I had not translated risk for size of dog! - here's an image of my dog and his mouth (he was the dog who posed for this image):
Now, with that personal reminiscence out of the way (moist eye), I would also say that people should consider making croutons with their staled bread, rather than throwing it away. If you are going to use them quickly, you can anoint them with a combination of EVOO (plus butter if you want) flavored with crushed garlic or shallots and other seasoning to taste.
Since we use 90% of our bread for sandwiches, I slice almost immediately (better to let it cool first, but I don't always have time) and freeze it in two layers of gallon-sized ziplock freezer bags. I find the second helps a lot with preventing freezerburn. We then just pry off slices when making lunch. I keep reusing the same bags, loaf after loaf, and this seems to work equally well for crusty or soft/crumb breads, although the latter really do need to be cool to slice. Having a toaster that lets you warm the sandwich prior to eating helps, too, but is optional.

|Matsuzaka vs. Fogg makes for an odd matchup in Game 3
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 27 October 2007 04:17
Still, anyone who's been watching the postseason knows this: Fogg is the guy baffling batters while Dice-K has struggled to justify his hype.
They'll match up Saturday night in Game 3 at hitter-friendly Coors Field, with the Boston Red Sox holding a 2-0 edge over Fogg and the Colorado Rockies. A big name vs. a no-name - or at least an odd one.
Matsuzaka hopes to quickly figure out how to handle the mile-high altitude in Denver that's caused trouble for so many pitchers through the years.
``Playing catch today and just feeling things out, I felt I might have to work a little harder on my command while I'm here,'' Matsuzaka said Friday through a translator. ``And the one thing that I want to be particularly careful about is leaving the breaking ball up.''
A 30-year-old right-hander born in Massachusetts, Fogg has been on three teams in seven major league seasons. He isn't known for having nasty stuff, but he held his spot in the rotation all season and went 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA in two playoff appearances - one start and one relief outing.
``There weren't that many opportunities for me two years ago. I didn't have a great year coming out of Pittsburgh,'' Fogg said. ``Colorado gave me a chance.''
Fogg went 10-9 with a 4.94 ERA this year, improving his career mark to 60-60 and 4.90. Pretty pedestrian numbers that might not produce a huge payday if he becomes a free agent after the season.
But he proved he can beat Boston back in June, allowing two runs and seven hits over five innings for a 12-2 victory over Curt Schilling at Fenway.
``He's a horse, really. He takes the ball every fifth day. He goes out and gives you those six, seven innings every time,'' Colorado ace Jeff Francis said. ``He gives you a chance to win every time and that's all you can ask for.''
DAD AND ME: Manny Corpas rarely shows emotion and hardly ever rattles, ingredients that make for a good closer.
Friday was different for the Colorado reliever.
After the Rockies' off-day workout before Game 3 of the World Series, Corpas was headed to the airport to pick up his father, Manuel.
``This is his first time in Denver, in the U.S., and of course a World Series,'' Corpas said. ``For me it's a special moment, very important. Most of the season, I'm alone. It's really something having him at my side in a stage like this.''
Manny Corpas, born in Panama, was drafted by the Rockies as a 16-year-old in 1999 and made his major league debut on July 18, 2006. His father hasn't seen him pitch in the majors except on TV.
Benny Quintero, Corpas' agent, said Manuel Corpas had tried three times before to travel from Panama to the United States to watch his son play in the majors, but was rejected each time.
They enlisted the help of U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado, who helped Manuel Corpas obtain a tourist visa.
The closer's mother, Florencia, will watch the games from Panama.
``She gets very nervous with planes,'' Corpas said. ``But I'm working on trying to bring here soon, perhaps next year, so she can see me pitch in the majors.''
OLD FRIENDS: This World Series has been a reunion of sorts for Colorado second baseman Kaz Matsui and Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, who were teammates with the Seibu Lions from 1999-2003.
``When he came to the Japanese B League, he was 18 years old. I remember his debut,'' Matsui said through a translator. ``I thought he was a monster.''
The 27-year-old Matsuzaka is five years younger than Matsui and remembers revering the slick-fielding infielder who was a seven-time All-Star in Japan.
``He was always somebody that I respected tremendously,'' Matsuzaka said through a translator. ``And he was someone who I always wanted to follow in his footsteps.''
Matsui came to the majors in 2004 but was a bust with the New York Mets, who traded him to Colorado last summer. He where he resurrected his career with a spectacular season that he has followed up with a sensational postseason.
Matsuzaka made his much anticipated U.S. debut this year and went 15-12 for the Red Sox.
``When we had dinner prior to the season, we just told each other that we should both do our best this year,'' Matsuzaka said.
ROLLING ROYCE: The Red Sox players have already started peppering Royce Clayton with questions about Coors Field.
All of a sudden, the backup infielder has become the resident expert on the park. Clayton spent the 2004 season playing for the Rockies.
``I've talked to guys about playing certain depths and dealing with the altitude, how to prepare for a game and hydration,'' said Clayton, who hit .279 in 146 games with Colorado. ``I tell them how the ballpark plays. But guys will get a feel for it when they get out there.''
Clayton spent most of 2007 with Toronto, but signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox on Aug. 23. He was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket on Sept. 1 and remained with the team through the postseason run.
He said it felt weird walking into the visitor's clubhouse at Coors Field on Friday.
``I have good memories here,'' Clayton said. ``It's a great community and good people. From top to bottom, Colorado is a real class act.''

November 26, 2014
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP) -- Mitt Romney has been taking a victory lap on the morning shows after his win in the Michigan GOP primary.
He says he's feeling "pretty darn good" after coming out on top but is "not making predictions" about what's going to happen in the states that haven't voted yet.
Of South Carolina poll-leader John McCain, Romney says: "We'll give him a run for his money."
Anything short of victory in Michigan would have left Romney's campaign on the ropes, after his losses to Mike Huckabee in Iowa and McCain in New Hampshire.
In Michigan, Romney had 39 percent of the vote, McCain had 30 percent and Huckabee 16 percent. No other Republican fared better than single digits.
Today, all the major Republican candidates will be in South Carolina, where voters go to the polls on Saturday.
