NYT Charges

I'm afraid we can forget about the Times but didn't NYT go to free FROM
Paywall a
while back b/c no one used them? Now they think people HAVE to have
it? I think they will be disappointed-The TIMES is preparing to move
itself
into a different medium. I said they will lose many casual browsers,
but my friend countered that libraries across the country will prefer
to subscribe to the online service, as it will be easier than getting
actual issues

Yes! And there is also Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall! And Fergus
Henderson is featured fairly regularly - his recent interview on the
opening of his St John hotel is spectacular:
.
And Heston Blumenthal, who used to write for the Guardian (I posted some
of his recipes), is still featured regurlarly, too - typically with none
of that molecular gastronomy stuff, but with traditional, down-to-earth
recipes, etc. There is lots more.

From time to time, the recipes from Dan Lepard are interesting. While I
learn more about bread baking from items in the States, along with
alt.bread.recipes, I do find some of his ideas eye-opening.

p.s. I have now taken my recipe that approximates Pain Poilane (only took me
ten years to do so!) and when finally finished raising for the third time, I
plop in my ten quart lodge dutch oven, slice across the top, and pop it the
covered oven into my oven. I really love the technique exploded on to our
collective brains by Jim Lahey in the NYT. And I truly love the 5 pound
boules that I bake!

NYT-


Sheldon,

The NYT daily and Sunday iPhone puzzles are now $17 a year. A few
dollars more than in the past.

Pop Pop ("The Judge") used to do it in pen, in record time! The height
of conceit!

BTW, the iPhone software interface is simply beautiful!!!

Best,

Andy

I don't have an iPhone, I don't have a cell phone. I access the
puzzles from newspapers on line, print them, and do them in fountain
pen.

I got a copy of the Sunday Hartford Courant a while back (a major
metropolitan daily that claims to be the oldest continuously published
newspaper in the US) and was shocked to find that it was thinner than
the UCONN Daily Campus had been 20 years ago.

But "they can't afford it". How many people do you know who pay for a
newspaper?

Lets say you own a bakery and your specialty is cinnamon buns. Lets say
that you were selling 10,000 buns/week and then this idea came along
(the Internet) where you would give away free buns. So like any other
business you have expenses such as payroll, equipment, buildings etc
that require you to make a profit to keep the lights on. Initially you
are still selling 9,500 buns and giving 500 away so things aren't so
bad. Pretty soon people view the "free" buns as an entitlement and you
are selling 500 buns/week and giving away 9,500 buns. How long can you
stay in business?

I also have an add-on called ad block that stops a lot of that stuff,
but I never go to Yahoo so I'm not sure what you mean. If you're
talking about those ads that run before you view a news piece etc. I
don't think it's possible not to view them because they're part of the
video clip.

Have you ever read Dan Lepard's "The Handmade Loaf" book? Is it worth
its while?

Victor

Victor,

I would pass on his bread making skills. I would suggest a recent addition
of mine: The River Cottage Bread Handbook by Daniel Stevens. I find his
European slant would be a perfect fit for you. And I find his skill on
sourdough to be invaluable.

That is some of what I mean. The old pop ups are gone, but there are still
many ads to be seen on various web pages. Just about any newspaper or TV
station web site is loaded with them, as are many private web pages.

You can ditch a lot of it simply by using a hosts file that points all
the ad sites to a dead address. However that sometimes slows things
down--Home Despot has started putting ads on their product pages and
their site creeps along as a result--Lowes on the other hand remains
fast. Then there's CBS, which gets its advertising from
ad.doubleclick.net and won't show you anything until you've enabled that
site.

One that gripes me is ads on movie trailers--I refuse to watch an
advertisement in order to be granted the privilege of watching an
advertisement.

I've been a registered member at the Times website for years. So
today I went to the site, on the front page, down to the sections and
clicked on business day....and a pop up ad came and offered me a free
subscription for the rest of 2011. I took it.

At this point I can't justify paying for a newspaper on line...too
many other sources and ways around it. But
I'm happy to have the rest of this year free.
