bread hours 03/15/2003 05:14 PM

http://www.Breadhours.org A group of over 300 residents and merchants in California’s Bay Area has established a local currency called BREAD (a rough acronym for Bay Area Regional Exchange and Development), based on hours of work valued at $12 an hour. Through the BREAD network, which now has over $20,000 worth of currency in circulation, members can pay for dinner, carpentry, childcare, tutoring, clerical assistance or organic produce. Tired of traditional activism, founder Miyoko Sakashita wanted to create a positive local economy and “stop our resources from supporting global corporations that are not accountable to people and the environment.” Check it out at Breadhours.org

How to Make Bread


How to Make Bread 03/15/2003 05:16 PM
Bread may be the staff of life, but few spend time making it. This is a shame, as bread is not that hard to make, and a simple hand-made loaf can provide pleasures beyond those of machine-made or store-bought break. This article describes how to make bread using a recipe passed from father to son.

How much money do first-time novelists make? Author and upcoming first-time novelist Justine Larbalestier is constantly asked by aspiring writers what first-time novelists should expect in advance payment for their beloved texts. So she asked some of her author friends what they got for their first novels. The responses ranged in time from 1962 to 2004. What didn't change in all that time was the basic amount: Not much. Quoth Larbalestier: "The life of a novelist is, financially speaking, a mug's game. Enter at your own peril."

Xeni Jardin: Interstate Bakeries files Chapter 11. And with it, an era of American pop gastronomy may meet its end. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the carb; For in that sleep of death what Twinkies may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal Ho-Ho, must give us pause; there's the respect that makes creme-filled treats of so long life.

Link to Business Week article. But Newsday wins the best hed award: Twinkies Maker Out of Dough. (Thanks, Jim OConnor)

Update: Reader Kate says, "I read your post on the bankruptcy of the Interstate Bakeries, alluding to the fact that Twinkies have now met their end. But Chapter 11 bankruptcy is not about ending a company or specific product lines, but rather re-organizing a companies debts (Link to explanation). Although its possible that twinkies, ho-ho's and hostess pies may be gone in the near future, it is just as likely that they will remain. So in short, reports of Twinkies death have been greatly exaggerated."

Staci Kramer agrees. "It's not RIP quite yet. The company is reorganizing -- not liquidating -- and, according to the same Business Week article mentioned in your post, 'Interstate spokeswoman Maya Pogoda says the outfit plans to continue operating the rest of its bakeries and distribution centers.' I just don't want to write off Twinkies and other delicacies like orange Hostess cup cakes and Devil Dogs too soon. It would tilt the time-space contiuum."

“In opposing Martha Stewart’s bid for leniency, federal prosecutors scoffed at the multimillionaire’s claim that her record of community service and charity was so extraordinary that she deserved to be rewarded with less prison time. While Stewart’s own presentencing memo was submitted under seal, details from that document are contained in a memo filed by Manhattan federal prosecutors who—gleefully, it seems—pointed to some of the, um, charitable acts claimed by Stewart.”…

Up to 35 million Americans are on a low-carb diet. Food manufacturers have responded with more than 600 new low-carb products this year. Restaurants are altering their menus. Online communities are springing up to share information about the low-carb lifestyle. With this big target market, how hard will corporations push to expand the low-carb movement? Do the health warnings about the diet foretell an increase in medical problems, or will we see a generation of healthy, slender, pork-rind chomping families?

Buildings In About 12 Hours


Buildings In About 12 Hours 03/17/2005 03:52 AM

sack_buildings.jpgBringing me back to the days when I used to play C&C: Red Alert, a few engineers in London have devised a way to quickly erect cement structures in the field. The "building in a bag" is essentially "a sack of cement-impregnated fabric" that, with a little air and water, inflates into a Nissen-shaped structure that dries and is ready for use in twelve hours. Meant to act as a stronger solution than a tent while remaining at least relatively portable, a 500-pound sack will inflate to form a structure with 172 square feet of floor space. At only $2,100, "the volume of the sack controls the water-to-cement ratio," so you don't need to fuss with hard-to-read measuring cups while trying to build a new mess hall. Wired has the full story and a diagram of the building process.

First 24 hours in Japan


First 24 hours in Japan 08/09/2004 07:37 AM

My first 24 hours in Japan included the following:

  • a soak in a traditional Japanese public bath
  • a swim in a 25-yard pool
  • a visit to an enormous Buddhist temple complex that has been an important pilgrimage site for hundreds of years
  • a semi-traditional tea ceremony
  • walking around three koi ponds
  • a meal in a restaurant that has been in the same family and at the same location for more than 300 years

All this without leaving Narita, the town in which Tokyo's international airport is located!

Portugal in Three Hours 04/19/2004 12:17 PM
I'm off in a couple of hours for Portugal. I arrive Tuesday morning after taking a red-eye, have dinner with the conference hosts that night, talk on Wednesday morning, and leave Thursday morning. That leaves me about three hours to see the entire country, plumb its depths, and come to grips with the Portuguese soul. That would be impossible for most people. Thankfully, I am a shallow American. BTW, here's a travel tip: I've spent the past couple of weeks convincing my children that Portugal's leading export is hotel soap. That's going to save me loads of shopping time!...
