Iron Maiden -- Monterrey, Mexico -- February 25th, 2009
Tour: Somewhere Back in Time Tour, Final Leg 2009
Headliner: Iron Maiden
Support: IRA, Lauren Harris, Morbid Angel, Carcass, and Atreyu
Venue: Estadio Universitario, Monterrey, NL, Mexico
Date: February 25, 2009
What a journey this was. I decided to catch a couple of Maiden shows in Mexico last November after the shows were announced. I joined the fan club, purchased tickets as soon as 10:00 hit that bright November day, and then waited...forever.
February finally arrived and a buddy and I headed for Mexico. I flew, and he drove and then bussed it in from the border. This worked out as I am now in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and he is in Chicago.
We arrived separately in Monterrey, unloaded our luggage at the hotel, and somehow found each other on the busy streets of one of Mexico's largest cities. We checked out the shops near the hotel that first night and ate at the busiest restaurant that we could find, as we figured that it would have the best food for the locals. We found a place called VIPS, which was good, but not great (kind of like going to IHOP). This place actually looked like IHOP meets Ikea. We went to this place for authentic food, but noticed a short time after we ordered our food that the bottom of the waitresses name tag had Wal-Mart's logo on it. It turns out that Wal-Mart owns a chain of these restaurants in Mexico. That figures, we go to Mexico and get Wal-Mart cuisine.
The next morning, we headed out to find a Ticketmaster outlet, as the tickets for those who resided outside of Mexico only had this option and will-call. They wouldn't ship them to the U.S. We walked all over the damn place and went to a Super Boletos, as our concierge stated that this would be the place to go. It wasn't and we eventually found a Ticketmaster outlet in a nice department store named Liverpool. We finally had our tickets to Monterrey and Guadalajara! We met up with a new friend that I met on the Maiden board and his wife and checked out the Macroplaza in Monterrey. The day was awesome and we were able to see some beautiful sights in the city.
Wednesday finally arrived (Maiden day). We grabbed a cab and headed out to the arena. Estadio Universitario is a soccer stadium, which has held World Cup soccer matches in the past and is home to the Tigres. The stadium is huge! We checked out the tent city outside of the stadium, which included 50-60 tents filled with bootleg Maiden shirts and other items. Most of the bootlegs were of good quality and the artwork was very impressive. Some were not so good, including several shirts which stated "A Matter of Life and Death Tour 2008 Mexico." I saw this tour in 2006 and I don't think it even went to Mexico. I managed to find a couple of cool backpacks for my two sons and purchased those on the way out for 200 pesos each (about $14 each).
We finally entered the arena and were overwhelmed by the size. This place was enormous! We headed in as IRA was finishing their set. We finally found our spot on the floor and were about 20-30 feet from the stage. Normally, we would be there early and would hold the rail the entire show. It was 99 degrees out and we were in no shape to wait through five bands, plus Maiden in that heat. I was use to 15 degree Minneapolis temps.
Lauren Harris took the stage quickly and played her set. Guys, what are we going to do about Lauren Harris? Oh well. During her set, we tried to find a booth for event shirts. Our Spanish is shit, so we had to be creative with our words and hand descriptions. After three or four security guards, we finally found one who spoke broken English. He pointed to where we needed to go, but we couldn't find it. After a minute or so, he decided to walk us to the tables. I picked up the Mexico event shirt for the 2009 leg and browsed at the others. The table only had shirts (five or so for Maiden and a couple for Morbid Angel and Carcass). The Mexico event shirt was only 250 pesos!
Morbid Angel and Carcass played their individual sets. Both bands tore it up and were just brutal! Carcass put on a better show, but this is no disrespect to MA, who were also great. The crowd was really into both of these bands. Surprisingly, the front section did not have any mosh pits during these bands. Back in the States, there would have been pits opening up everywhere. There was a pit or two in the rear floor section, which was posted on YouTube. After Carcass, Atreyu took the stage. They were booed from the second song on (just like Bullet for My Valentine was!). Obviously, this was a poor choice for an opening band. After their fourth song, they said, "this will be our final song for tonight." They ended their show prematurely with only five songs played. Most of us would rather hear CDs played on the PA, versus listening to Atreyu live. It turned out to be the best solution to that crap!
Finally, the lights in the stadium dimmed and Doctor Doctor started to play over the PA. The crowd went nuts, I had chills, and like my good buddy Eric says "I am just like Pavlov's dogs salivating to his bell whenever I hear Doctor Doctor." It felt like this song was an extended, 20 minute version. I love this song, but it wouldn't end for anything! Finally, the screens on the side of the stage came on and they played their Ed Force One footage with Transylvania being played in the background. Finally, time for the show!
Churchill's Speech started playing and we just couldn't take it anymore! We waited for Aces High, and the crush that hadn't happened yet. Maiden jumped out as they do and everyone started jumping and head-banging. No crush though. I couldn't believe it. Bruce's vocals were on that night and Aces High was done brilliantly. After this one, they followed it with Wrathchild. Ah, this was a nice change from the past as I somehow had never heard this one live. This was better live than I had ever expected. They followed with 2 Minutes to Midnight, Children of the Damned, and Phantom of the Opera. COTD and POTO were the other two songs that I had never heard/seen live previously. They were just perfect!
The night progressed perfectly and the crowd was the best that I have ever been in yet. They were loud and sang very well with the band. After Fear of the Dark, the crowd continued to sing some sort of local song to the band. I read somewhere that it was called Pora Porre (something like that). They sang it for close to two minutes. Bruce was overwhelmed. He actually sat down on the drum riser and listened while the crowd sang this to him. It was awesome! The band was more than impressed with the Monterrey crowd. Bruce spoke and thanked the crowd.
They then went into Hallowed Be Thy Name. I got very emotional on this one and had tears in my eyes. One, because this song just rules and the other, because I was thinking about my Dad. I decided to do this trip six weeks or so after he passed away. I realized then that life is too short and you have to do these things before you run out of time. I did these shows in his honor. It was part of the healing process and it was by far the best medicine for me.
The background changed and we saw the King Tut Eddie mask hanging in the background. We were all jumping up and down and screaming as we realized that the Mummy Eddie rumors for the Mexican shows were true! What an exciting time! This was my third time seeing this version of Eddie (85, 08, 09). It just gets better every damn time!
They went on with their next three songs, which included Sanctuary as their final song. I wasn't excited about this one previously, as I've heard it live before, plus the fact that it is not one of their best songs. Somehow, it became the perfect ending to what was a perfect day in Monterrey. I was singing as loud as I could and was finally loving this song.
Maiden played a very tight set and just tore the place up. We grabbed another cab, headed back to the hotel, and tried to get a couple of hours sleep before we had to leave for the airport at 5:00 a.m. (to catch the Guadalajara show the very next day).
I'll continue this soon with a posting of the Guadalajara show.

I had no idea Atreyu were playing too. God, they're awful.
Yeah, south Florida date can't come fast enough...I'll be making a long road trip as well for that one....however it seems like I am in the few that likes the current set better then the first round of dates...any one have an idea who the opening act or acts might be in Florida? Steve's daughter I'm sure, but anyone else?
I was there in the Field 2 section, and yeah a few pits in the Morbid Angel set.
sounds fantastical.
What i love about this show is you have a death metal band and a grindcore band playing before Maiden. Great diversity there . Would of loved to be at this show.
Its great diversity. Even if its not totally awesome. As much as i hate Atreyu the young folk these days will get a kick out of them. Since not everyone knows who the great Carcass and Morbid Angel are.
Believe it or not, some part of the audience and mainly in the more expensive section, are fans of Atreyu.

Comfortably carry shovel, avalanche probe, skins and 3L of water in a low-profile pack.
We recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

Great For Those Who Go Just Off Trail
By Cobolt Blue
from San Francisco
Best Uses
Comments about CamelBak Gambler™ - Discontinued:
I picked up this pack in a pinch and hoped for the best. As I've come to expect with camelbak systems it performed above and beyond its purposes. While not recommended my snowboard fit perfectly behind the straps. I really wish this model had a pad for the board to rest behind though. Also exterior mounted snowshoe straps would be nice. The ability to carry back country avalanche gear is less useful if I cant bring snowshoes or pack my board. I am also trying to figure out what the use of the two straps that hang out or tuck into the bottom of the side pockets is for ideas?
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Maklain the skier

This Camelbak is now my favorite,I love it! great for skiing out of bounds at big sky. The fact that it has 3L of hydration is amazing its good for about 3 to 4 hours on the slopes.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (589 votes).
In short: Something tough to kick start the year. Date of review: January 10, 2005
In short: The hardest and slowest 10K you'll ever do but well worth the painDate of review: January 6, 2005
In short: Great race, fantastic marshals, but includes 1500ft of climb over 12k! Don't do anything stupid the day before like stay up late, drink too much or party.Date of review: January 4, 2005
In short: The course "wasn't hard enough" - according to the Event organiser Dr Rob - He is insane...In full: After an hour of slogging up and down hills, Some nice pedestrians warned me it was slippy on the steps - I yelled back "I've just come down them thanks, I'll be ok" - and then I fell over in the mud. That pretty much sums it up - I had a bad dream last night about hills...I loved this event - good things don't come cheap, but it's not criminally priced - most of your entry goes to charity and you get massive value for money (and a unique momento and very cool medal this year). It's probably one of the top 3 friendliest races I've run.I downloaded the long video - which is great, and as an added bonus if you watch it on fast forward it sound like an episode of "Morph".Date of review: January 4, 2005
In short: Fantastic and challenging way to start the new yearIn full: Great event, terrific location, fanastic marshalls & organisation- a real sense of achievement on finishing this race and the post-race carrot is such an incentive to keep going up those hills. Date of review: January 4, 2005
In short: Very hard - the concept of adding just 25% to your 10km time is just plain wrong!Date of review: January 4, 2005
In short: Once bitten...... One of those races that leaves your legs somewhere out on the course!Date of review: January 4, 2005
In short: kneebustinglungburningegodeflatingblistercreatingknackercrackerDate of review: January 4, 2005
In short: Second only to the Midsummer Munro for "hardness"In full: The steepness of the hills and the beautiful scenery are what make this race both challenging and enjoyable. The organisers and marshalls enthusiam make this race special. Date of review: January 4, 2005
In short: This will definitely become an annual event on our race calender. Dr. Rob has done a fantastic job!In full: This race is not for the faint of heart - it was the toughest race I have ever seen, let alone done. You are going up or down almost all the way and the steepness is crazy in places.That said, it would be hard to find a better race if this is your cup of tea. A small, friendly field, well organised, fantastic scenary and a wonderful atmosphere. A marvellous antidote to the mass road races - a breath of fresh air!Date of review: January 4, 2005

State Revenue Forecast Offers Short-Term Relief, Long-Term Concerns
State economists are a bit more optimistic about near-term tax collections than they were three months ago, but they say sluggish economic growth poses long-term financial challenges for Oregon.
Economists gave state lawmakers a quarterly revenue forecast on Wednesday. They say Oregon's general fund and lottery will collect about $80 million more during the current two-year budget than they predicted last quarter. That's likely to mean there's no need for immediate budget cuts.
But the latest forecast shows a sharp drop in projected revenue during the next budget period, indicating the era of tight budgets is likely to continue.

If you just can't seem to find the right gift for your sister for her birthday, you might be trying too hard. Take a look at what she already has and make note of what she could use - this will make shopping a lot easier.
Looking for a gift that will wow her? Consider picking up blinc's tube mascara for your darling sibling. This formula is designed to give her long lashes and volume that can't be beat with a drug store brand. If you want to make her birthday extra special, throw in a couple of liquid eyeliners as well. It won't run or smudge throughout the day, which is something every woman can appreciate.
If your sister already has a full cosmetics bag, think about getting her something else she can use on a daily basis to pamper herself. For instance, buy her a cooling eye mask to get rid of dark circles or a pair of fuzzy slippers she can wear after a long day at work.
Whatever you decide to go with, putting thought into your gift is what will count - and your sister is sure to appreciate the gesture, regardless of what's in the pretty box.

Feb. 5, 2012
An unprecedented fraternity reunion took place during the weekend of Feb. 4 as the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. held a Convergence Weekend on campus.
The Convergence Weekend gathered Kappa brothers from as far back as the 1940s (when the first Beta Sigma Kappa Chapter was established at then Delaware State College in 1946), and also included Kappas from other institutions nearby institutions such as the University of Delaware and University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
See the below photos slideshow for some images from the Convergence Weekend, followed by more information below about the Kappa events
While some of the Kappas arrived in Dover on Friday, Feb. 3 for a Crimson and Cream Meet and Greet event at the Hilton Garden Inn, the bulk of the activities took place on Saturday, Feb. 4.
After a breakfast at the University Village Cafe and a morning guided tour of the campus, the Kappas shared their life experiences with current DSU students in a Kappa Connection – Career Networking event. Other activities included the sharing of golden memories from some of the older Kappas, a step show, and a presentation about the current state of affairs at DSU by University President Harry L. Williams.
The Convergence Weekend culminated at the Norfolk State vs. DSU basketball game, in which the Kappas witnessed the Hornet Men's impressive upset of the 1st place Spartans.
The Kappa Convergence was spearheaded by faithful Kappa and DSU alumni Norman Oliver, class of 1985.

I remember folks here using the Ischia for their pizzas, just curious why the Camaldoli wasn't used...
FW, For the past two weeks I had been experimenting with the King Arthur classic culture available on their site. It works, but I found that it was not as good at raising the dough, and did not have as sweet a flavor of the Italian cultures.
The French culture was a bit sleepy. I was about to say it was a bad batch when, on day 3, it started showing bubbles and then bloomed at an incredible rate. It was slower in the earlier stages and much more active in the later.
Yea those French are quite lazy... give them a good kick in the ass and tell them to get to work or else you will make cornbread out of them!

To watch Klein discussing the future of reading, click here.
The title of a 2004 report by the National Endowment for the Arts was "Reading at Risk." The follow-up, released in November 2007, upped the ante. "To Read or Not to Read: A Question of National Consequence," placed the consumption of Moby Dick up there with questions of poverty and health care. Weighty stuff. Around the same time, Newsweek published a cover story entitled "The Future of Reading"—I assumed the gist was along the lines of, "Nobody will be doing any, and the Russians will win." I was wrong. In an almost uniquely American take on the subject, Newsweek decided to peer past the decline in reading and instead enthuse about the creation of new, expensive technologies that would help us read—namely, Amazon's Kindle. The newsmag's decision made a sort of perverse sense. After all, books may be in sharp decline, but compared to, say, 1992, reading on computer screens is way, way up. If you could put books on a computer screen, and maybe connect that to the Internet, you might really have something.
So I consulted my conscience, which is as much gadget-head as bookworm, and quickly came to a decision: I would simultaneously support reading and the introduction of expensive new electronic devices by buying a Kindle and proudly toting it around town for a month. That would give me time to determine whether this really was the future of reading, or whether the nation remained threatened by grave and unnamed consequences.
The Kindle, for those who dodged the hype, is the latest in a long line of handheld, computer-like devices meant to spark the digital-book revolution. It's a big mission for such a strangely designed little gizmo. The Kindle is bone white (or, perhaps more accurately, iPod white), a bit under eight inches long and a bit over five inches wide. The bottom third houses the world's most unintuitive keyboard: the letters all jut out at different angles as if the designers had just figured out diagonals but hadn't quite decided which was their favorite. Running up the right side is a "next page" button, conveniently placed so you accidentally press it whenever you pick the device up.
One look at the screen, though, and you forget that everything around it seems to have been an afterthought. The Kindle uses a technology known as E Ink, which deploys negatively charged black particles and positively charged white particles to create something that looks, and acts, startlingly like paper. There's no reflection in the sun and no discernible flicker on the screen. Compared to traditional LCD screens, whose light and flicker force your eyes to constantly strain and refocus, this is a profound advance. It's almost calming to look at. The downside is that the Kindle cannot scroll through a book as you might expect. Rather, it pages through, going momentarily blank as the various particles reshuffle into the next set of words and images. Even so, the collision between the artificial and the organic is remarkable, and almost indescribably strange upon first glance. Imagine turning on your TV only to see the sky—not a broadcast of the sky, but the actual sky, right there where your screen should be—and you'll have some idea of what it's like to look at the Kindle for the first time.
Using the Kindle is somewhat less transformative. These days, everything from your keychain to your coffee mug boasts online access, and the Kindle is no different. It uses Sprint's national wireless network and lets you link into Amazon, where you can browse, preview, and purchase books, magazines, and other types of content (the Kindle also has a beta version of a Web browser, but for now, it's quite bad). Blogs cost up to $1.99 a month to subscribe to, which is a rip-off given that they're free through your computer, but most books are only $9.99, a fair discount off what you'd pay for a hardback. It's not just that the technology is cool, however. The Kindle is credible. As a product of Amazon, it's intertwined with the world's largest online bookstore, legitimized by the one company that can lay some claim to having already changed the way we use, or at least acquire, books. The real question, though, is what took so long? Though Amazon has transformed the way we purchase content, its business model has always contained a crucial inefficiency: Amazon gives you unlimited, free, instant access to text about books, so long as you read it on your computer screen. Then, when you're ready, they'll also sell you some text, only it won't be unlimited or instant. Instead, it will be printed on mashed-up tree, put in a box, and sent across the country to you. What's in that box is simply more text, no different from what you read on your computer, save for the wasteful, inefficient, and costly method of production. For all that we rebel against the idea, examined rationally, the death of the book would be no surprise.
I'm not sure exactly what I expected from my month with the Kindle. Maybe for some inquisitive older gentleman, possibly wearing wire glasses and a tweed blazer, to sidle up and say, "Excuse me, I hate to bother you while you're reading, but do you really think that can replace the book?" Or possibly for a librarian to berate me. In any case, it didn't happen. In fact, nobody noticed at all. Though reading the Kindle felt like a courageous betrayal of every word written since the moment papyrus gave way to paper, it turns out that looking at words on tiny screens in public places is far too common to attract attention. Indeed, the only person who demonstrated a heightened awareness of nearby reading habits was me. Suddenly everyone seemed to be staring at a laptop or scrolling through a BlackBerry or searching for songs on an iPod or texting on a flip phone. The Kindle is far less the start of a revolution than the codification of one. It's a declaration of war long after most of the contested lands have been conquered.
Pessimists have been predicting the death of books for what seems like forever. In 1894, Scribner's Magazine published an article lamenting their destruction at the hands of audio. "Printing," the author wailed,
which Rivarol so judiciously called the artillery of thought, and of which Luther said that it is the last and best gift by which God advances the things of the Gospel—printing, which has changed the destiny of Europe, and which, especially during the last two centuries, has governed opinion through the book, the pamphlet, and the newspaper—printing, which since 1436 has reigned despotically over the mind of man, is, in my opinion, threatened with death by the various devices for registering sound which have lately been invented, and which little by little will go on to perfection.
One hundred and fourteen years later, printing is still around. But it did not win the battle against audio. Rather, the two entered into comfortable coexistence. Turned out that there were some things audio was simply better for. Reading a transcript of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! wouldn't quite mimic the experience of listening to the quiz show while you putter about on the weekend. Similarly, reading is hard to do in the car, and you can't call in to a book. But audio didn't win out, either. Reading is much faster than listening. The average adult reads at around two hundred to four hundred words per minute, but is only comfortable listening to words at about half that rate. Long documents are better read than heard. Same goes for complicated works like, say, the NEA report. You can't mark up a broadcast, or ask the radio to repeat the last paragraph.
Put another way, content is king. It will seek out the vehicle best suited to its absorption or enjoyment. Sometimes, it will occupy multiple mediums at the same time, in order to appeal to the largest audience (think of how books live happily alongside audio books, and then are turned into movies). But the endless discussion as to whether books are dead tends to conflate "books" with "text," and thereby obscures far more than it illuminates. Books will not die, after all, unless we want them dead. They have survived the advent of radio, television, the Internet, and Nintendo. Rather, they will be challenged once again, and books' content will find new ways to express itself more effectively.
Toward that end, using the Kindle is a sharp reminder of the limitations of printed text. Take a basic example: the size and font of a book. It makes perfect sense that large books have small text with dense letter spacing. Reducing the relative space needed for each word reduces the total pages required to house them. Large books are unwieldy, not to mention resource-intensive, and so, at a certain point, text is shrunk to keep total size in check. Small text is still hard to read, however. With the Kindle, text is manipulable. Long books no longer require a magnifying glass to read or a wagon to tote. Better yet, text can be changed to fit mood and moment. At night, I found myself increasing the size to rest my eyes. During the day, I shrunk it to pack in the content.
That advantage leads into many more. Unlike printed text, electronic text is not static, and its location is not fixed. For certain types of reading, this is a critical difference. Take two examples. Among the titles I downloaded on the Kindle were David Frum's Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again and Max Brooks's World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. Brooks's book is a cheeky alternative history that looks back on the fictional zombie wars that nearly wiped out humankind. David Frum's outing is an aggressive synthesis of public-opinion data and recent political history meant to prove that the contemporary Republican Party is deeply adrift and headed for irrelevance unless it reforms itself. Both are books, of course, and both are comprised of text, but that vastly overstates their similarities. They're better understood as radically different types of content that seek to do entirely different things, and so are suited to different mediums.
Brooks's book attempts to entertain. Presuming the content is up to the task (and it is; zombie wars are funnier than one might imagine), it merely requires a readable method of presentation. The Kindle, here, is no better than the traditional book, and is in fact a bit worse. The Kindle's screen, though a remarkably impressive technology, is a soft gray, and lacks the contrast of a book's sharp, white pages. Moreover, there's an added risk to using the Kindle: if you drop a book, it doesn't break. If you drop your Kindle, your heart catches in your throat till you examine the damage. If you drop it in the bathtub, you're out $400. The reading experience—in this case, enjoyment—would be better served by investing in a comfortable chair.
Frum's book attempts to inform, and that's an altogether different mission, one that traditional text is poorly suited to carry out. In a slightly more perfect world, the process of reading would be closer to the process of recording: we would scan words, and they would be retained, with perfect fidelity, in our neural pathways. The information would all be categorized, stored, and made available for future mental searches. A book would be virtually disposable, rendered utterly unnecessary after the first read. Sadly, our brains are more sieve than supercomputer. They absorb text much like the old child's trick of pressing putty against newsprint: the information is initially imprinted with perfect clarity, then rapidly begins to fade, till only the faintest outline remains. There are the rare exceptions—my high school reading of The Grapes of Wrath still colors my understanding of power relations in a capitalist system—but they are too rare, and frankly, I sometimes wish I still had my notes on Steinbeck.
Still, hope springs eternal, and many of us pack our books away, filling spare rooms with bookshelves and attics with old titles. Those books hold what our minds cannot, and we hope that having read them once, we will be able to quickly rediscover their secrets if and when the need arises. To help us in this quest, we have margins. It is here that most of us make our stand against time's inevitable fade to black. Notes, exclamation points, stars, doodles, complicated systems of acronyms and symbols—all serve as maps to intellectual lands we once traversed and may someday revisit. But they are spotty guides. Sometimes, the directions are illegible. Other times, we find that we forgot to mark a particular road or byway because we didn't realize it was important. And without any real way of pinpointing our position, the search through this hazy mess of chicken scratch can be only marginally more efficient than rereading the book itself.
Compared to this, electronic text is a GPS system. You tell it where you want to go, it finds the route. The whole book is searchable. So, for that matter, are your notes, which can all be stored. Favored passages can be clipped and saved in a separate file to facilitate more rapid review. When text ceases to be fixed, when margins swell to an infinite expanse, when every word can be sorted and searched, the failings of our brains are hardly noticeable. Your bookshelf becomes your mind's external hard drive. It's a shiny new e-brain, a Google that searches your personal intellectual universe.
The point was driven home to me while reading William Powers's brilliant essay "Hamlet's BlackBerry: Why Paper Is Eternal," which considers the evolution of paper and the way it has subtly shaped not only the way we read, but what we read. "The persistence of paper flies in the face of a widely held popular assumption about technology," Powers writes, "propagated over the years by breathless futurists and science-fiction writers." True enough. But it was at about that moment that I realized I was reading "Why Paper Is Eternal" paperlessly, on my computer. I had downloaded it for free, which could be done because there were no shipping or production costs associated with the electronic file, and I decided to read it in my PDF viewer (the wonderful freeware Skim, for those who are interested) so I'd be better able to jot down thoughts and pull quotes. Paper may be eternal, but for some purposes, it's simply inferior.
Let me be clear: though the Kindle has some advantages over traditional books, for the moment, I'd stick with the low-tech option. The problem is that the Kindle tries to compete too directly with paper. It attempts to electronically mimic the experience of reading a book. But the book is very, very good at providing the experience of reading a book. In this way, the Kindle occasionally comes off as if Ford, failing to make the conceptual leap to the car, had instead built a motorized horse. Sure, there would be some advantages: the robo-steed would never grow tired, and could be outfitted with more plush seating. But horses are pretty good at being horses. And books, like horses, have evolved to maximize their advantages.
The true promise of the Kindle, and its inevitable descendants, is in creating a product that goes where the book cannot. Printed text is fundamentally limited. Once on the page, nothing more can be done with it. With digital text, everything is a draft, to be edited, altered, broadened, remixed, and redirected. As better conveyors of electronic text are developed, the big question is how content itself will change to take advantage of the new opportunities.
Hyperlinking provides a useful example of how this can work. There is nothing simpler or more fundamental to online writing than coding text so that clicking on it directs the reader elsewhere. Previously, text was a closed container, reliant solely on the strength of its prose and the credibility of its author. With links, text is an open conversation. A study can be described, and interested readers can click to access the original paper. A speech can be quoted, even condensed, with the full version available to any who want it. An argument can be summarized, and the reader can click through to see whether the claims are being represented fairly. This feature is already used online, of course, but for all its elegant simplicity and obvious worth, it's not as widely used as one might expect. Compare text written specifically to be read electronically—like that on blogs or Wikipedia—and text that is intended for printed mediums like newspapers or magazines. The electronic mediums produce writing that is far richer in links and sources, far more directly in dialogue with opposing viewpoints. The very fact of writing for an electronic medium changes the content.
The possibilities are endless, and many are obvious. Currently, authors are hampered by the nature of the publishing process. Books are begun years before their publication date, and finished months before they will ever reach readers. A book on electoral politics may be completed in 2007 and released in early 2008, its continued relevance reliant on nothing more concrete than the author's vision and the vicissitudes of polls. With electronic text, however, the original "book" could be just the first step in an ongoing relationship between author and reader. In the most simple form, the book could be updated with new chapters and commentary. Corrections could be downloaded automatically, as could new pieces of supporting evidence. Debates could be held with critics, and the transcripts e-mailed out to all who purchased the original title. The book could be released in 2008, and updated through the election and even beyond, the author routinely applying the insights of the original work to the daily news reports.
This could profoundly alter the relationship between authors and their audiences. One of the finest bloggers around is The Atlantic's Matthew Yglesias, who's also the author of the new book Heads in the Sand, an examination of the politics of American foreign policy. Currently, his blog is supported by The Atlantic. But what if readers of his book were offered the opportunity to subscribe to his commentary for $5 a year? Imagine that some thirty thousand copies are sold, and half those readers decide to pay for Yglesias's further thoughts. That's now a yearly income of $75,000, flowing directly from readers to author, unmediated by ads or institutions.
It's not only the relationship between writer and reader, however, that could deepen in the age of electronic text. Reading, mostly a solitary pursuit, could become a social act. It's now common for newspapers to host comment sections where readers can weigh in on their articles, and books could do much the same. How much easier a dense work of philosophy would be if we could communicate with others struggling through the same chapters, and even be helped along by the author. Indeed, once we were open to the idea, much of what we do with books could be dragged into the public sphere. Already, a popular application on Facebook, Visual Bookshelf, has roughly thirty thousand daily users. It allows your friends to see what books you're reading, how you've rated them, and any reviews you feel like posting. In turn, you have access to the same information about them. The curmudgeons in the audience may wonder whether we need all that in the public sphere, but they've never experienced the thrill of learning that an acquaintance you saw only for the occasional football game in college shares your affection for John Kenneth Galbraith.
Though the kindle could, in theory, support all these uses, it has not been built with them in mind. There is no button with a speech bubble that, once pressed, spirits you instantly to Amazon's discussion page for your book, or for that particular chapter of your book. There is, as of yet, no effort by Amazon to advantage the Kindle's offerings by bundling them with supplementary material from the author, or with a compendium of related studies and essays. Even the iTunes Store, Apple's electronic retailer, bundles extras with its CDs. The comparison with Apple is instructive. At this juncture, Amazon is selling the Kindle much as Apple did the iPod—as a device whose primary advantages over its predecessors are in physical size and electronic storage. In the iPod's case, that was a true assessment of the situation: the iPod bested the CD player not by allowing you to do more with music, but by allowing you to carry more music in your pocket. In the Kindle's case, it's a limiting approach.
Of course, this is the Kindle 1.0. Already, Amazon is showing signs that it means to improve the product. The Kindle has a section full of beta software, including a music player and that lousy Web browser. But those, again, are particularly uninventive advantages—they're the same standard-issue applications present on cell phones and PDAs. Rather, the Kindle needs to leverage its power in the market—Amazon is a dominant bookseller that moved more than $3.5 billion worth of media (books, music, etc.) in 2006. Authors can't afford to ignore its market, and so Amazon, alone among large booksellers, has the leverage to convince authors to begin writing at least in part for the electronic text market. If it made a Kindle able to support discussion groups, it could convince authors to participate in them. If it made a Kindle able to support updates, it could convince authors to release supplemental material down the line.
At the end of the day, the true advances won't come in the Kindle, but in the content. Just as the capabilities of the device will shape what authors decide to do with it, so too will the decisions of authors shape the evolution of the device. The Kindle's homepage already features videotaped testimonials from such literary luminaries as Toni Morrison, Michael Lewis, James Patterson, and Neil Gaiman. But what the Kindle, and Amazon, need is not their kind words, but more of their written words, composed with an eye toward the possibilities offered by electronic text. Just as the early television shows were really radio programs with moving images, the early electronic books are simply printed text uploaded to a computer. Amazon could use its unique position to change that.
This may, ultimately, prove to be Amazon's truly crucial role—not driving the future of reading so much as the future of writing. E-reading technology will push forward even without Amazon's involvement. The Kindle will soon face stiff competition from a bevy of able competitors. Sony already has an E Ink reader on the market, as does iRex Technologies, and the latter allows you to scrawl notes on the screen with an electronic stylus, then upload those notes to your computer. In the next year, Polymer Vision will bring out Readius, a cell phone that includes an E Ink reader with a rollable screen. Amazon, of course, has plenty of resources and by far the best market position. But if the Kindle's successor or competitors are to succeed, it will be because Amazon used its status as the world's largest online bookseller to force authors to think seriously about creating content that works better than the book, that goes where the book cannot, that's interactive and cooperative and open in ways that printed text will never be.

Present: Matthes, Diana, Mike, Stephen, Emi, Martin, Dai
Painting walls
Diana would like to paint some of the walls and has lots of ideas of what to do. These should be posted to the BB so the wider community has a chance to respond and raise any objections. The stone stairs leading up to the hall should be painted as this is too permanent and causes all sorts of health and safety issues.
Matthes would like to install a small sculpture in the window- similarly, this should be raised on the BB.
Once all of the receipts are processed we should come out of august exactly on the monthly budget.
James has suggested we invoice the artist for a fee and use that to claim their money. However the moeny given to artists is not supposed to be a fee, it us a budget to cover expenses purtaining to the exhibition. We can put an invoice in the receipts drawer but still ask the artists to provide receipts.
Robin Kydd wants another £20 to cover the light and curtains he installed and we are still using- they are useful but ad hoc budget is cheeky- give £10. We should also amend the info for artists that all after-the-fact budget requests will be refused.
Floor- we are going to sand and varnish the floor- mihal wants to help. we will do this on sunday the 12th october and also sand, paint and varnish the shelf too.
We are also going to paint over the writing on the wall and put a poster in its place. ACTION POINT- Emi to look into.
Some of the tape on the floor looks scruffy- Martin will talk to Sarah about removing.
Action day scheduled for 21st September.

Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993):
Coinage Context
High volume production: The year 1876 at the San Francisco Mint saw high volume production of trade dollars primarily from Nevada silver. Production was strong each month, and by the end of December some 5,227,000 coins had been ejected from the presses, a new record for the denomination. Many of these were made for the Nevada Bank of San Francisco (see testimony by Louis McLane, quoted under Additional Information, 1877).
Most coins were shipped to the Orient, although some were circulated domestically, particularly before the demonetization act of July 22, 1876 took effect.
Numismatic Information
Varieties: The 1876-S is known in three combinations: I/I, I/II, and II/II. A sample of 43 1876-S trade dollars studied by Mark Borckardt in 1992 contained 27 (62%) I/I, eight (19%) I/II, and eight (19%) II/II; although the data base is small, this seems to provide an indication of relative availability.
Circulated grades: Among issues of trade dollars, in grades from VF-20 to AU-58 the 1876-S is one of the most plentiful on the market today. I estimate that 25,000 or more exist worldwide. Among unchopmarked coins, Type II/II seems to be the scarcest.
Among chopmarked coins, Types I/I and II/II are said to be common; I/II is said to be rare. (These have not been studied by the author.)
Mint State grades: In MS-65 grade the 1876-S is rare, and probably no more than 20 to 40 or so exist. At the MS-64 level the estimated population is 100 to 200 or more, increasing to 175 to 300 or more at the MS-63 range. Most Mint State 1876-S trade dollars are in the MS-60 to 62 range, as reflected by the estimated population of 900 to 1,800 or more coins.
A common issue: Although MS-64 and finer coins are fairly scarce, in MS-60 through MS-63 grades this is the third most common circulation strike trade dollar. In circulated grades the 1876-S is believed to be the fifth most common trade dollar, exceeded in availability only by 1877-S (most common), 1878-S, 1875-S, and 1877. Chopmarked coins are common.
Doubled obverse die: A rare variety of 1876-S II/II shows extensive doubling. The branch hand, left foot, and parts of LIBERTY are doubled, among other features. Described below.
Circulation strikes:
1. Micro s: Breen-5801. Still very rare.
2.Medium S: Mintmark .9 mm high. Not in Walter H. Breen's Encyclopedia. Extremely rare. Discovered by Jack Beymer. The only ones seen to date have no period after FINE; this is from hub damage and probably occurs on some other 1876 Type I reverses of various mints.
3. Large S: Breen-5800. Mintmark 1.17 mm high. Common. The most plentiful 1876-S. Often chop marked. Pieces with raised parallel die lines slanting up to right behind head are counterfeits.
Circulation strikes:
1. Micro s: Breen-5802. Mintmark .75 mm high.
Considerably scarcer than preceding. Often chopmarked.
2. Minute s: Mintmark .84 mm high.
1. Micro s: Breen-5803. Scarce. Some have the anomalous reverse. Type IIa, with large period after GRAINS (much larger than the comma on the normal II); rightmost leaf tip is pointed. The Santovenia Collection includes an MS-64 or finer coin.
2. Repunched 6: One variety of Breen-5803 has part of the base of what appears to be an extra 6 within upper part of loop of the 6; known to Marvin Jacobson by 1975 (see Willem correspondence quoted earlier), also identified by Jack Beymer. Some have called this an overdate, 1876/5, which it is not. It has also been suggested that this may be 1876/4, which would be impossible, as the obverse is Type II not used in 1874. This may be the most common variety of the 1876-S II/II issue.
3. Large S: Unconfirmed. Walter H. Breen states that this may exist.
4. Doubled obverse die: Fivaz & Stanton $1.00-013, commentary as follows: "Doubling is evident on Liberty's hand, olive branch, left foot. Possibly first reported around 1973." Further, Bill Fivaz reports the following concerning this issue: "This die exhibits nice doubling on Miss Liberty's chin, outstretched right hand, left foot, and some of the drapery. It has been a very difficult variety to find in any grade, and only two or three have been reported." Published by Ross Haddix, Coin World April 19, 1989, Coin World December 27, 1989. Very rare. Leroy C. Van Allen sold a specimen to the author in June 1992, noting that he knew of just three extant coins.
Additional variety, as yet unattributed to obverse and reverse types:
Doubled reverse die: Described in Coin World November 29, 1987. This variety has not been seen by me or by Walter H. Breen; only halftone newspaper pictures have been observed.
Dies prepared: Obverse: Unknown; Reverse: Unknown:
Circulation strike mintage: 5,227,000. Delivery figures by month: January: 342,000; February: 410,000; March: 706,000; April: 385,000; May: 318,000; June: 123,000; July: 127,000; August: 473,000; September: 450,000; October: 465,000; November: 545,000; December: 883,000.
Characteristics of striking: Usually well struck.
Some have evidence of light striking at the top of the obverse and at the eagle's sinister leg on the reverse. Among large mintage issues such as this there are many variations in striking quality.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: None
Rarity with original Chinese chopmark(s): Types II I and II/II are both common; I/II is rare.
A common issue in all but the highest grades. More research needs to be done with minor die varieties.
Additional Information
A Glut of Trade Dollars
The American Journal of Numismatics, April 1876, reprinted the following newspaper commentary from the San Francisco Chronicle:
"The new trade dollar is fast becoming a drug in the market. Our banks and money-broker offices are becoming glutted with them. Their greater intrinsic value as well as their novelty threatened for awhile to crowd the familiar half dollar and the handy quarter out of sight.
"Chinamen remitting their hard-earned savings to their far-distant land would have nothing but trade dollars. (A reference to Chinese who had come to the United States to be laborers on railroads and other projects, and who sent part of their wages back home.) Oriental commerce was, and still is to a large extent, conducted on the solid basis of this bright, new and ringing silver representation of value.
"But the Orient, like San Francisco, is beginning to find that it is possible to be surfeited with even so much coveted a treasure as the trade dollar. The result is that reaction has set in against that coin in this market, and it no longer enjoys a preference over other silver. On the contrary, although a trade dollar is intrinsically worth eight cents more than two half dollars, the two halves will sell in the street from a half to three-quarters of a cent more than the dollar. The reason for this is primarily because of the super abundance of the latter. But there is another reason which is not generally understood. Halves and quarters of the United States are a legal tender for all payments up to a certain amount; the trade dollar is not a legal tender at all for any amount." It is merely a stamped ingot, having a certain value, like an ounce of gold, a diamond, or a bushel of wheat. It is a commodity, the value of which fluctuates according to the supply and demand."

Performance Art: Jennifer Levine and Scott Mussarsky
What inspires a songwriter to write? What inspires a painter to paint? Many times one inspires the other! Visual artist Jennifer Levine treated the audience to step into her "studio" and watch her paint as she (and everyone else) was entertained by musician Scott Mussarsky. They two worked hand in hand on this exhibition of his songwriting and her paintings. What a great night!

The Lyric sounds like it might solve my problems in amplifying the natural sound of an old Kay archtop I have. I've tried Schatten piezo bridge, and various K&K solutions, but the sound is just poor, and the feedback terrible.
I don't suppose you're thinking of developing an archtop version of Lyric? (I can see there'd be some problems in mounting internally!)

I'm actually in the market for a decent yixing pot for sheng pu. I would preferably like one with a large opening to get the larger stuff in the pot without any issues and having to break it all up. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Something around 120-150 ml would be perfect I think.

Six Southern Oregon Medical Marijuana Growers Charged
Six men have been charged in the first federal prosecution in Oregon of medical marijuana growers. Two were arraigned Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Medford, two more were slated to appear today (Wednesday), and the last two are expected later this week.
They are accused of conspiring and selling thousands of pounds
of marijuana - some of it to Washington state - grown on four
medical marijuana gardens in Jackson County.
The gardens were raided last fall, when federal agents ripped
out hundreds of plants with backhoes and hauled them off in dump
U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall says she hopes this will serve as
a deterrent to people trying to use Oregon's medical marijuana
program as a cover for illegal drug sales.

Two thoroughly humorous and enriching animated shorts on teshuva (repentance) + slicha (forgiveness) from artist Hanan Harchol
We delve into the world and meaning of the Jewish High Holy Days — ten days that span the new year of Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur's rituals of atonement. A young rabbi in L.A. is one voice in a Jewish spiritual renaissance that is taking many forms across the U.S. The vast majority of her congregation are people in their 20s and 30s, who, she says, are making life-giving connections between ritual, personal transformation, and relevance in the world.

Share a Reflection
I have just listened to the interview with Rabbi Sharon Brous on the Jewish High Holy Days-and it is excellent. Would it be possible to obtain a written transcript of that particular programme that I could use in my congregation (I am a congregational rabbi in Florida)? Sincerely, Rabbi Howard Shub
I am wondering of the same
I am wondering of the same thing. It would be nice if we could get a transcript.
Your interview about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur somehow managed to miss one of the central ideas of holy days. That is that each sin that a person commits against another is really 2 sins, one against that person and one against God. In Yom Kippur, we confess our sins to God. God in turn will forgive our sins against God. However, the key point is only the person against whom we have sinned can forgive that sin. We are instructed to go to those against whom we have sinned and seek forgiveness. This means that we must take personal responsibility for our sins, and then take direct action to try to rectify those sins by going to the person most harmed by our sin.
Speaking of Faith missed a great chance to explain this to non Jews. Many of my non Jewish friends think that somehow Jews can freely sin during the year, and then God will wipe it clean at the end of the year. I try to explain that God does not wipe clean our sins against others, so we must directly confront those people and ask forgiveness.
It is truly disappointing that the Rabbi in your interview missed this central theme of Yom Kippur.
Rabbi Brous is amazing, but I
Rabbi Brous is amazing, but I agree that it would be terrific for Krista Tippett to re-invite her to discuss more theological stances. This program was very informative about socio-cultural, generational trends in Jewish life, but somewhat lacking in theological gravitas. Brous is a great thinker and conversationalist, so I'd be delighted for a follow up interview. Silvia.
Interesting interview tonight with the young woman rabbi; please fix the links: 1) on the main sof page, where it says "VISIT THE WEBSITE"--that's a dead link (you cannot click on it at all) and 2) when I clicked on programs, and then clicked on this same program (Awe), it links me to the last program on Intelligence (the one with the black and white photo of the waitress). Thanks--I'd like to post a link to the rabbi interview on FB but cannot until you fix this.
I was driving through the NYC area returning from Boston after dropping my son off at college. I am not Jewish, but was captivated by Rabii Brous. Your show is wonderful, you are an excellent inverviewer, and Rabii Brous is truly a great and visionary figure. I intend to read more of her writings. Please continue your show.
Accidentally tuned in yesterday to the Days of Awe program. What a wonderful, inspiring, beautiful program! Krista was able to bring out the best in Rabbi Brous, and I have emailed the online program as an attachment to numerous friends. I liked the program so well that I'm going to make a donation! Thank you so much for selecting someone to interview who brought such insight and energy.
9.07.10 Dear Ms. Tippett: I loved your Day of Awe program this week. It was perfectly presented and I want to thank you for highlighting Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It's not clear to me why your program will have a name change. In any event, I hope from time to time Judaism as a culture, philosophy and religion will be explored from wide variety points of view. Thank you and best wishes for the upcoming season of SOF. Hazel Roslyn Feldman
I was moved by Rabbi Sharon Brous. I feel a connection to what she had to day. It brought tears to my eyes. I was reared in the Catholic/Jewish traditions. My Father being Jewish and my Mother Catholic. I later became a member of the Episcopal Church. My Dad attended church with all his six children since he and my Mother were raising us as Christians. My Mom had a disposition from "The Pope" to get married and the streets of Knoxville were lined with people to get their first look at a "Real New York Jew". They were of course looking for his horns and tail. They married in Knoxville on April 6, 1946 and were married 62 years until my Father's death. Two of my brothers died at young ages and my parents could not grieve together because of their beliefs. They allowed each other their right to practice their own faith. I remember all my parents christian friends always trying to "Save" my Father. My friends tease me and call me a "Ca-Jew". I have never tried to convert anyone to my belief. Now I have friends begging me to come to Bible study with them. I do not feel the connection that they feel. I did feel a connection to what Rabbi Sharon Brous had to say and I am going to visit my Jewish roots. I feel a stong pull in that direction.
Just wanted to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed the "Days of Awe" program, aired on our local NPR station, WKMS in Murray, Kentucky, Sept 08.... John Bauer
Days of Awe I read just now to this podcast and have to say there is for me, another major coincidence associated with reading this on the second night of Rosh Hashona. The coincidence involves Rabbi Arthur Green and Abraham Joshua Heschel, and it's about a letter I was moved to send Arthur Green today, after a long period of silence. I have sent SOF, over the years, several emails about a life of astonishment of coincidence, meaning connects that surface out of the every day ness of our lives. We all call these small miracles, and, for a moment, we are stunned, and do think about these, and then move on. How would anyone deal with a life in which the astonishment of such connects precipitating out EVERY day, connects that do involve us all and that are each one, "small miracles" and sometimes "big", when in the telling one is being so totally and absolutely ignored. How would it feel to try constantly to share something this massive and th en, to enter and re enter total silence? I feel deeply, these connects, that cannot possibly be random, and that have informed my life for over eleven years, daily, must be shared. If not now, then when? I am leading a life of total, radical amazement. I have the proof, in a Diary that documents cross-connects that are astounding, like beads on a string, every single day of my life. The interview I have just read, with this most caring and wonderful rabbi speaks about surrender. There is no one, perhaps, who could know more than I do, about the notion of surrender in the writing of a story, that paradoxically, I could never have written, because there is no way I could ever has invented or supplied these connects that are hailing on me, every day, in every possible way. At least, the very least, in writing this, to SOF, you will know and perhaps one day, understand how it has felt, to have been so unheard these long and longing years of wanting to share something this profoun d, this deep. These connects are totally verifiable, in every possible way, and do involve all those and others I connect with in walking through my admittedly, small life.
INSPIRING. I have listened to
INSPIRING. I have listened to this entire thing at least 15 times. I first heard it in one of my religion classes in college.

Chip Perfect
Lawrenceburg, IN | Distinguished Ag Alumni: 2006
Six businesses in some 25 years mark Chip Perfect's career accomplishments since earning a Purdue University bachelor's in agricultural education in 1979. "I'm a serial entrepreneur," he says. "I chose ag education because I thought I could get started teaching and have a summer business." His initial venture was Indiana's first professional landscape firm, which was later sold to its employees. Next came the family venture, Perfect North Slopes Ski Area, created in 1980 on 100 hillside acres of the farm he grew up on in Dearborn County. Its startup time gave Perfect the chance to use his teaching degree at Rising Sun High School for four years, and he continues relying on it today to train a staff of 1,000 who welcome 250,000 guests "in about a 100-day season" to the southern Indiana lodge and slopes. Farming prepared him well for the ski business. "I already had the stomach for the difficulties of a weather-related business. In both skiing and farming, you have to be ready and willing to perform when the weather is right, and you never know when that's going to be." His unlikely success in a mountain-less state was recognized in 2001 when the National Ski Area Association gave him its Sammy Award for significant industry contributions. Other recent entrepreneurial activities — all in his home county — include launching a contract packaging company, partnering in converting a one-millionsquare- foot distillery into an industrial complex now housing a dozen businesses, and building a 10-screen movie theater and family restaurant. "My whole ag background propelled me in terms of leadership," says the second of four siblings, who credits FFA, 4-H, and Purdue. "It's the doing, the pursuit," that fuels his activities, he says. "I like coming here. I'm excited about what's going to happen. And I like creating new ideas." "The whole process of learning how to prepare for a class, how to learn, and how to study was huge for me. And learning to be an educator is valuable in what I do now, training managers."

In Matthew 22:15-46 the Jewish religious leaders tried to discredit Jesus with some hard questions on crucial issues. They asked whether a child of God should pay taxes to a secular government. challenged the reality of resurrection and inquired about what the greatest commandment was. Christ's simple yet profound answers astonished His audience - and made His critics look like fools.
Then Jesus asked His questioners about the Messiah. In doing so. He gave concrete evidence of His deity.
In Jesus Silences His Critics. you'll be fascinated by our Lord's great wisdom and glean useful insights from His teaching on paying taxes.

Until recently I had no idea what this bread was called. A few weeks ago, Jo was tweeting about Dutch crunch. Curious, I asked her what it was and then proceeded to look it up. I had eaten this bread before--a lot. I used to eat Dutch crunch all the time in Berkeley. It was in the grocery stores and at the sandwich shops I frequented, but I don't think I ever learned its name. If I did, its disappearance from my life over the last four and a half years had erased it from my mind. See, it's really hard to find Dutch crunch in other cities. I've never seen it in Los Angeles, DC or the Midwest. None of my friends from different parts of the country know what it is. They do, however, eat it in the Netherlands and the UK, where it's known as tiger bread. So when we became reacquainted in San Francisco two weeks ago, I knew I had to find a way to keep Dutch crunch in my life forever.
And thus begun today's bread making adventure. I am delighted to announce that I found the recipe on first try. The texture and taste are perfect and it made a great base for my chicken sandwich. I'm trying really hard not to go back into the kitchen and eat one of the leftover rolls. I might just hide one before I go to bed...
2 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup warm milk
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2.5 - 3.5 cups all purpose flour
Topping (From The Bread Bible)
1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup white rice flour
2. Mix salt with 2 1/4 cups flour and to the bowl, mixing on medium until the dough comes together.
3. Switch to dough hook and slowly add the last 1 1/4 cup until bowl pulls away from the side of the bowl. I ended up adding a total of 2 3/4 cups.
4. Turn mixer to medium and knead until tacky and smooth. Alternatively, you can do this step by hand.
5. Place dough in an oiled container and let rise until it has doubled, approximately an hour.
6. Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface. Shape into 8 balls and place on lined baking sheet, and cover. Let sit for 15 minutes. (I ended up with 8 balls of approximately 90 grams each.)
8. Rolls should have risen a little bit by this point. With a brush, spread topping all over each of the rolls. This should be done in a thick layer. Brush a generous layer on each roll. Then brush a second layer on each roll, using up all of the batter. This step is why you need parchment or a silpat on your baking sheet.
9. Let rolls rise for another 20 minutes until puffy. In the meantime, preheat oven to 350F.
10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool. You must let them cool--the topping tastes a bit weird until it's completely set and cooled.
