Bill Yosses' Orange-Glazed Olive Oil Cake with Fleur de Sel
It's pretty much impossible for me to pass up an olive oil cake, no matter if it's being offered at a restaurant, in a bakery, or in recipe form. There's something about the lightness of the cake combined with the green and fruity flavors that the olive oil lends—I find it absolutely irresistible.
So when I came across this recipe for Orange-Glazed Olive Oil Cake with Fleur de Sel from The Perfect Finish by Bill Yosses, I made sure I had all the ingredients on hand, then made a beeline for the kitchen to start baking.
When a dessert involves orange, it's typically the juice or the zest that does the flavoring but this recipe is a little different. Adapted from a Sicilian recipe, this cake uses the entire orange, rind, pith, and all. The oranges are blanched and then simmered in a sugar syrup to soften them, then they're blended to a paste in the food processor. By using the whole orange the cake takes on that wonderful sweet yet slightly bitter flavor typically found in candied orange peel.
Once the oranges are pulsed in the food processor, the rest of the ingredients are added to the bowl and blended until just combined. The food processor facilitates the cake-making process but can get very full, depending on what size you're using.
Although the photograph accompanying Yosses' cake in the cookbook looked fairly flat, mine rose to nearly double the height of the pan. I'm not quite sure why this happened but can you really complain about having a bigger cake than you expected? Once the cake cools it's glazed with the same orange glaze that finished last week's Blackberry Buttermilk Bundt. The glaze made sure the fleur de sel flakes stuck to the surface, and of course added a fantastically complementary saltiness.
I served part of this cake the day I baked it, but the leftover piece was even better—the orange and olive oil flavors were much more pronounced and the cake became more moist.

Orange-Glazed Olive Oil Cake with Fleur de Sel
- makes 1 (10-inch) cake, serve 8 to 10 -
Adapted from The Perfect Finish by Bill Yosses.
What's New On Serious Eats
- Unsalted butter, for the pan
- 2 navel oranges or thin-skinned juice oranges, such as Valencia
- 2 1/3 cups sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel
- For the orange glaze:
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 1 medium orange)
In a large pot, bring 3 quarts water to a boil. Slice the bottoms and the tops off the oranges (where the rind is the thickest) and quarter the oranges. Plunge the orange, rind and all, into the water, allow the water to return to a boil, remove, and drain. Repeat the process two more times. This blanching will remove the bitterness from the orange rind.
Place the oranges in a pot filled with 1 quart fresh water and 1 cup of the sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then let simmer until the rind is softened and can be easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. At this point, the oranges can be cooled and kept in a container, in the syrup, in the fridge for up to 3 weeks before you proceed with the recipe.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch round cake pan.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper and set aside.
Pull the prepared oranges from the syrup with a slotted spoon, and discard any remaining seeds in the cooked orange segments. Cut the oranges into chunks. Place them, rind and all, in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment (discard the syrup), and pulse until the oranges form a puree. The puree will be slightly chunky and not perfectly smooth, and this is okay.
Add the eggs, the remaining 1 1/3 cups sugar, the flour mixture, and the vanilla extract to the food processor. Pulse until well blended.
Add the olive oil last and pulse until thoroughly blended.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake on the center rack until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean and the top of the cake is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then slide a thin knife or offset spatula around the sides of the pan and turn it over to unmold the cake onto a plate, then flip the cake onto a wire rack. Let cool thoroughly on the rack, at least 30 to 40 minutes more, and pour orange glaze over the cake when cool. Sprinkle the fleur de sel over the cake at the last minute.

My office is near Wipro junction and I was looking for buying an apartment in Gachiboli area. All the completed buildings were having only Leftover flats so practically speaking there were no good choice available. Hence I decided to opt for an under construction project. Since the property prices in Hyderabad are very low currently, this also made more sense as buy the time project gets over, the apartment value would increase a lot. This can be attested by the prices of good completed projects in area. I searched more about Jain Housing and found out that they are very big.. My colleagues from Chennai who are staying in their buildings had all commended their construction quality & amenities. So I was half convinced. Remaining convincing was done by their offer under which I don't have to pay any EMI;it took a lot of burden off my shoulders. Pricing was also not an issue since everybody else is selling at an equal rate. However, their floor plans are very spacious compared to others and the approvals are in palce, which is not with the case with quite a few other projects. Amenities are also good. All in all, my wife and I are very satisfied with this investment. I would a like to thank Anil for a very good services in getting loan and other formalities completed which saved a lot of my personal time.

First impression is the best impression – this is what I could say about Jain's Alpine Meadows. We saw many gated communities before we saw this project but nothing impressed me and my family. We had some criteria for deciding our property in Chennai such as – it should be spacious, good schools and hospitals around, should be well connected to main roads, easy access. To airport and railway stations, especially to have good water, parks,pool,club house and obviously for affordable cost. When we saw Jain's Alpine Meadows first time, it was really impressive with the way they have designed they layout and it was afabulous feeling for us to see such a community with meeting all our expectations. Another good things about this community is that we have a wonderful lawn in the first floor where our kids can play around and it is a good community for my parents to have pleasant walk in the morning and evenings. So we have decided to go for it without wasting any time. Now we are very glad and proud to say that we have a luxurious property in a fast growing metro city like Chennai.

I am a NRI, a doctor working in the middle east for the past 27 yrs and am nearing retirement. We have a house in Rangarajapuram and nearby there are some flats constructed by Jain Builders. The architecture and construction details have impressed us. We were looking to purchase a flat nearby, and when we found "Westminster" in Saligramam we immediately decided to invest. The reasons we decided to invest with Jain Builders are as follows:
1. Jain Builders is a reputed firm
2. We liked the proximity of the project to the 100 ft road. So to get out the city wouldn't be much of a problem.
3. Also in this area we have access to good shopping We are confident that we will get an excellent product at the end of day.

I am glad to have invested in Alpine Meadows. Firstly, the projects in from Jains. Added to it, the project is location is excellent. Its well connected to the Airport, Pallavaram station as well as outer ring road. The project has been designed extremely well-may it be the concept of private balconies or only 4 floors per tower. The fresh water Thiruneermalai lake in the vicinity makes me rest assured of pure & natural water to drink . The water table of lake is good so I don't even have to worry about paying for water in swimming pool for years to come... The view of Thiruneermalai temple from balcony is priceless. The pricing is very affordable. This is the next upcoming residential corridor of Chennai & in 2 years, the prices are bound to go up to 5000/-per sq. ft.

Through the years Jain Housing has earned an unsurpassed reputation for providing excellent quality, service, and.They also have separate department to assist in obtaining the most advantageous financing package from various banks. Real Estate market has been flooded with many builders with and without qualified Engineers in constructing the buildings. So selecting a good proper builder has become difficult. I have seen a number of Jains apartments where my relatives and friends are staying. The list of features included in the projects is a distinct difference Jain has when compared with other builders. Completing the project in time is also one of the many important feature expected by the buyer and I hope even this will be satisfied by Jain builders. The support the customer gets from Jain Housing is outstanding let it be in terms of providing the flat details or assisting in obtaining the most advantageous financing packages or cooperating and coordinating with the customer in intimating and collecting the breakup payments and attending to the queries of the customer is excellent. This work is executed by Ms Jamuna in a outstanding manner. She is gifted with politeness which also gives good impression about the company. This helps us to gain confidence to refer the projects done by Jains to our near and dears.

I choose Alpine Meadows considering the following aspects, Jains Alpine Meadows is located in the picture view location of Thiruneermalai and all around greenery fields are there which belongs to the Thiruneermalai's temple. Since this is the temple property there is no possibility of any construction coming around and the picture view will remain intact, protecting the pleasant environment. The location is far away from industrial area; hence any hazards of pollution won't be there. The location is far away from industrial area; hence any hazards of pollution won't be there.

As soon as I saw the model apartment it was just wow… how smartly the space has been utilized. It feeling of a "A Royal Apartment". The property is located very near to siruseri IT park which help me reduce my petrol cost too! The buying process was pretty smooth in terms of fulfilling all the formalities, registration and even the bank related formalties and the best thing was I don't have to follow up on anything with them. I strongly recommend Jain's Inseli Park based on my experience.

Yo-Yo Ma pulled his chair up making a slight scraping sound and then composer and fellow cellist Giovanni Sollima followed suit making a nearly identical scrape. Many in the audience giggled, because it seemed as though the repeated scrape sound signaled that the piece had already begun.
Looking back, it was the first sign that these two master cellists would perform like loving and close brothers, bringing to us a dazzling world premiere of a rare repertoire—"Antidotum Tarantulae XXI, Concerto for Two Cellos and Orchestra".
The two cellists seemed to know each other's musicality with great intimacy and throughout the performance this was a joy to behold. However, it was only a small part of the treat. The composition itself was a dazzling unfolding of the cello's range woven in with orchestral highlights.
In the program notes the composer talks about the call of Italy's story through time that informed his work. To others it may have seemed to start with songs of the desert, with sometimes mournful chords conversing from one cello to the next as if we were being called to prayers at nearby mosques.
Then the furies of the cello were unleashed, as if they were galloping and taking us with them on a chase. The orchestra joined in and we seemed to be at the center of a beehive. The pace changed many times, and we were often delighted to the tuba with some help from trombones delivering the transitions with loud bravado.
Not only cellos shone. At times this seemed just as much a concerto tour de force of percussion. We heard shifting sands, metallic bows across cymbals, low kettle drum rolls, a gong and more.
But it was always the cello's range that sparkled. At one point the two cellists seemed to be playing the erhu, at another moment as they only plucked fingers or hit with bows they were percussion instruments, sounds would get larger and larger until the tuba referee or the natural end of the phrase instructed to move on.
The genius of this piece is not only in putting a spotlight on all that is cello, but in the masterful way that transitions were made from one moment to another. We can only hope that this piece is recorded by the CSO and these two soloists so that we can hear it again and again.
Poor Schubert.
In his day he had to compete with the likes of Beethoven and ever since has been given somewhat short shrift, at least in US concert halls. Last night he was up against a world premiere of no small import.
Maestro Muti is giving Schubert his due, last night performing both the composer's 3rd Symphony and his "Tragic" or 4th Symphony.
It is stunning to do the math and realize Schubert was but 18 and 19 when his pen or plume put these compositions to paper. They each start with a long slow chord and they both have many returns to building up a phrase, then dropping an octave or so and building again.
Having spent much of my morning listening to Schubert's 3rd and 4th Symphonies after this concert I can see how much there is to chew on in Schubert's work that Maestro Muti is bringing to our attention.
It was Muti's idea also to bring Ma and Sollima together. Muti is a man of great inspiration and Chicago is now lucky to have his talents as part of our treasure trove. If you were there at the Millennium Park celebration several years ago waving pennants that said "Muti", each concert reminds of what the celebration was about.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra will perform in Symphony Center (220 South Michigan Avenue) through June. If you would like information on tickets visit the CSO website or call 312- 294 – 3000.

My desk gets flooded with all kinds of press releases – stories about companies people, products, and promotions whiz over the Internet like a blur. Some stand out like beacons. This particular beacon of light, featuring Water Missions International, Rotary International, and Solar World is about helping provide clean water to people who had little or none available.
HILLSBORO, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A partnership among SolarWorld, the largest solar manufacturer in the United States and Europe, and nonprofit partners Rotary International and Water Missions International (WMI) has helped a total of 35,000 people in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean gain access to clean, safe drinking water. At the close of 2013, SolarWorld, Rotary International, a global network of humanitarian volunteers, and WMI, a Christian water-engineering nonprofit, celebrated installation of 25 solar-powered, community-based water-purification systems in Haiti, the Peruvian Amazon and Malawi. The three organizations share a chief humanitarian goal of promoting water quality to enhance the health, quality of life and economic status of the world's poorest people.
In the systems, high-performance solar panels donated by SolarWorld power submersible water pumps provided by Grundfos, the world's pump-technology leader and a strategic partner of WMI. At each site, WMI's engineers combined SolarWorld panels in treatment systems capable of supplying water needs of thousands of people. As another strategic partner of WMI, SolarWorld has for years donated and discounted its solar technology for deployment through the nonprofit's programs in the developing world.
"These projects unite WMI, Rotary International, SolarWorld and Grundfos in leveraging their technological expertise to maximize the humanitarian impact of curbing the spread of disease and death from contaminated water supplies," said George Greene IV, president and chief operating officer of Water Missions International. "The result: clean, safe and sustainable water – a foundation for community health, education and economic vitality."
SolarWorld and WMI teamed with various local Rotary clubs in the United States, Peru, Haiti and Malawi to provide systems. In Peru, for example, the Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch, Fla., led a fund-raising effort that, in combination with a Rotary Foundation Global Grant, garnered over $300,000 for water and sanitation projects in Peru.
"Improving water and sanitation projects are a passion for our Rotary club and for Rotary International because the need is so great. Every day, more than 5,000 children around the world die from water-borne disease," said Ron Myers, member of Lakewood Ranch's Rotary club. "Our club is driven by human understanding of this global crisis and our desire to help people around the world lead better, healthier lives."
Since 2012, the three organizations have implemented nine solar-powered water-treatment systems in Peru, many in remote communities in the Amazon River basin, and two systems in Bayonnais, Haiti. Sixteen systems in rural Malawi came online about the same time. Without such systems, these communities would continue to suffer high rates of water-borne disease and childhood mortality that attend parasite-bearing and otherwise contaminated water supplies.
"WMI, Rotary International, Grunfos and SolarWorld share a focus on using sustainable technology to address the world's most pressing humanitarian challenges, particularly the need for safe drinking water in impoverished, rural communities," said Mukesh Dulani, U.S. president of SolarWorld.
"Together with our valued partners WMI and Grundfos, SolarWorld joins Rotary International's community of 1.2 million members in creating positive, lasting change around the world. It is an honor to add our solar know-how to this inspiring, global movement."
Photos, videos and first-hand accounts of projects in Peru and Malawi are available on the blogs of SolarWorld, WMI and Rotary International as well as on WMI's Vimeo and Picasa channels.

text: Greetings- I picked up a pair of 3110 crossovers on Ebay cheaply (not working) and now I have a few questions.Upon first glance, I noticed that a few of the resistors need replacing due to a crack and a couple of broken leads. I figured that it would be best to just replace them all (4 per crossover) with Mills NI-ww resistors.Any problem with with using a non-inductive resistor in place of those sand cast "white coffin" resistors? Next I thought I'd measure the two inductors and the four capacitors to make sure they are still at their original values. Assuming that they are still within spec, I'd like to bypass the caps with some .1uf or .056uf Russian teflon caps ( if they all fit). Is there anything wrong with this idea? There's not much that I can do with the inductors (3.3 mH, 2.14 tapped) except trim and resolder the leads. Should I replace the two pole-three position switch or will a good cleaning take care of it if it's in good physical shape? I'm missing the knobs that go on to the switch shafts, are these still available from JBL or anyone on this forum?I'm also missing the ten screws (per crossover) that hold the thing together.What type, size and thread was used for this? I'd also like to get a couple of empty steel crossover boxes (with or without cover w/binding posts) in case I'm not pleased with the behavior of the 3110 in my system (4648A bottom, 2445J on 2380 horn and 2402 tweeters. I'm currenty using (and pleased with) a 2nd order homemade crossover with premium components (cfac inductors,oil and teflon caps,NIww resistors).The trouble is that the cossover is just sitting open on top of the bass cabinet. If I had a couple of empty crossover boxes , I could put my components inside of it and mount it properly in the rear of the cabinet. I use just a 1uf Vitamin Q cap for the crossover for the tweeter ( in case you were wondering). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Paul

I am a teacher of English, and if you are reading this, then you are a literate human being. What follows is a request I have submitted to my peers, but I would also like the opinions of any regular and irregular readers I may have.
What was your experience with summer reading when you were in high school? What kinds of texts did you have to read, and what kind of work did you have to provide your teacher to help prove that you actually read the work?
Last summer, my students read Tess of the D'urbervilles, Murder in the Cathedral, Becket, and Sonnets from the Portuguese. In addition to their reading, students produced three 500 word responses to the novel and plays and four 250 word responses to the sonnets. For those of you maybe not paying attention, that translated into 13 separate responses from each of my 50 students, so at approximately 250 words per page, that means 22 pages times 50.
This year I want to do something completely different. Maybe with the same texts. Here's where you come in. This is what I shared with my peers:
I want and need your input.
I don't know about you, but in some ways, I dread summer reading. I don't dread re-exploring the texts I ask the students to read at the expense of losing my guilty pleasure beach pulp so much. Nor do I necessarily dread learning what the students think about the texts.
What I dread is the volume of written response that I collect on the first day that I still feel compulsively compelled to respond to in order to defend the scores I give the students. I dread the feeling of starting the school year with an albatross around my neck. Worst of all, I dread the idea of letting the summer reading into my home for fear they will not simply take care of themselves and go away.
I know there's a better way.
I know to respond to each entry is asinine.
I want to work smarter and enjoy the whole year, not just the day that I get rid of the box of binders (and believe me, I'm not collecting binders EVER again) that have appreciated riding around in the back seat of my car with the windows down on Friday afternoons blissfully unaware that I leave my car unlocked at night in the driveway with the dark hope that somebody will steal them from me and not ask for ransom. Unfortunately, however, I live in a neighborhood with five members of the local Sheriff's Department, so not many are breaking into my car.
I refuse to live like a Cubs fan anymore and simply long for next year. Then again, maybe I do want to continue living like a Cubs fan so I can celebrate the end of the season as early as, dare I say, August.
Here's where you come in. I'm thinking about asking my students to read their texts, and respond to blog prompts over the summer on a private blog I create where only my classes and I can participate. Students without easy Internet access will receive an alternative assignment. The problem is, I want the work my students do to be proportionate to what they are asked to do at other levels.
What are your thoughts on this idea of mine?
Most importantly, what is a proportionate number of responses to reading? How many do you do? How many would you like to do? The appeal of this, for me, is to be able to communicate with the students about their progress through the texts, to be able to communicate with them when they have problems, or to communicate at moments in their reading where I can send them to a specific internet site that provides supplemental information that they might not get from SparkNotes.
Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

PHILADELPHIA — Falling asleep in your bed at night and being "put to sleep" under general anesthesia – as well as waking up in the morning or coming out of anesthesia – aren't quite the same thing, yet they share some important similarities. Max Kelz, MD, PhD, assistant professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, along with colleagues from Penn, UCSD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Thomas Jefferson University, explored the distinctions between anesthetic unconsciousness and sleep by manipulating the genetic pathways known to be involved in natural sleep and studying the resulting effects on anesthetic states. Their work is published in PLOS Genetics.
Previous research by Kelz's team pointed to a neurological barrier, called neural inertia, that separates awareness from anesthetic unconsciousness and resists the transition from one state to the other. They also found that the processes by which the brain enters anesthesia and then later reemerges into consciousness are actually quite different — one isn't simply the reverse of the other. With this knowledge in hand, Kelz and his colleagues used a Drosophila model system to focus on the genetic pathways controlling neural inertia. "In this new study we sought to understand whether anesthetics were working on some of the natural systems that regulate normal sleep and wakefulness," says Kelz.
They found that four genes involved in natural sleep, Sh (Shaker), sss (sleepless), na, and unc79, also control neural inertia and thus the effects of induction and emergence of anesthetic unconsciousness. Various mutations in these four genes profoundly affect neural inertia and can even collapse it completely. For example, says Kelz, "Mutations in the sleepless gene can cause some resistance to entering an anesthetic state, and an even larger impact on the exit from the anesthetic state. Flies with the sleepless mutation pop out of the anesthetic state at doses at which their normal siblings are still entering. When we moved sleepless around to different parts of the fly brain to figure out the circuits in which the gene works to alter wakefulness or the propensity to enter an anesthetic state, we found that we could completely dissociate the forward process of entering an anesthetic state from the reverse process of exiting."
This latest work confirms the existence of neural inertia as a state that naturally resists a change in the brain's consciousness, similar to a phenomenon studied by sleep scientists. "Sleep inertia is a phenomenon in which it can take minutes to hours before full cognitive power returns to us when we are abruptly awakened from natural sleep," Kelz explains. "We modeled the idea [neural inertia] off the natural process of sleep inertia. Not much is known mechanistically about sleep inertia or why that happens, but here we see the anesthetics as a model potentially for helping to understand sleep inertia."
Aside from distinct differences between induction of and emergence from anesthesia, the work shows that the neural pathways involved can vary with different anesthetic drugs. The present study was largely conducted using isofluorane, a common general anesthetic, but there seem to be many neurological roads to anesthetically-induced unconsciousness, not all of which involve the same genes. The experimenters found that with a different drug, halothane, their Drosophila subjects reacted quite differently.
"While I'd like to say that there's one general set of neurons upon which anesthetic drugs work, it's very clear that it's not that simple," Kelz says. "Individual anesthetic agents probably have distinct molecular targets and have differential effects on some of the underlying circuits that help maintain wakefulness. When we looked at halothane, we found is that the story of these four genes [Sh, sss, na, and unc79] doesn't explain halothane's action. So we're really just scratching the surface in understanding a single anesthetic, isofluorane. There's undoubtedly much more going on before we can start to speak about any anesthetic or a generic anesthetic."
Trying to identify just how well the analogy of sleep as a metaphor for anesthesia holds is important not just from a scientific standpoint, but also from a therapeutic one. "There are some downsides to using existing anesthetic drugs," Kelz points out. "If we understood the good features of the anesthetics, the ways in which they cause a loss of consciousness, and if we could replicate the desirable effects by specifically tuning the brain's natural systems that regulate arousal, we might be able to avoid some of the undesirable actions of the anesthetic."
Such understanding could also benefit coma patients and those suffering from sleep disorders. "We might be able to come up with strategies for helping to extract patients from vegetative states, or come up with some novel therapies or ideas to treat many of the issues that plague sleep medicine," Kelz says.
Other Penn authors include Eliot B. Friedman, MD, Hsiao-Tung Hung, Mallory Sowcik, and Amita Sehgal, PhD.
The study was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health (R01 GM088156, R01 NS072431), the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics, the Whitehall Foundation, the Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program from the R.W. Johnson Foundation, and the Perelman School of Medicine Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care.

Kate Gosselin has a new book on the way.
The mother of eight will release "I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith, and Family," the follow up to her first book, "Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets," on April 13.
According to the online Web site for book retailer Barnes and Noble, Kate's new book will pick up where the first one left off.
It will give readers a look inside the journal of the TLC reality star and share moments not seen on her former reality show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
"The book covers the three years her family lived in their Elizabethtown home, a period Kate considers one of the happiest of her life," a description of the book reads on Barnes and Noble. "It shows the parents of eight kids (all under the age of six) transitioning from the chaos of caring for infants to the structured days of a home filled with budding preschoolers."
The newly single mom will also reveal her spiritual side in the book, as well as offer a look into raising twins and sextuplets.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Kate is currently working on a television project with TLC, the network announced at the Television Critics Association panel last month. Details of the project, however, were still in development and therefore not available.

It wasn't long ago that the majority of muscle cars were either built as Pro Street machines or simply restored back to factory specs. These days, the word pro has evolved into Pro Touring and rather than idling through car shows, these gems can be seen cruising the highways and terrorizing the tracks against most modern-day sports cars.
In this case, we're working with a '72 Camaro. To help slow it down from terminal velocity, we installed a complete Baer Brakes Pro+ system on all four corners. These feature a six-piston caliper and come with two-piece 14-inch rotors, which are guaranteed to produce serious negative forces during hard deceleration.
We should also mention that this particular ride has a bit of history with Baer brakes; in fact, back in 1997, this was the original test car for their second-gen brake systems. Since then, it's been pushed to the limits at most performance events, including our former 0-100-0 challenges. While we've included the performance results in the story, it's even more impressive when you consider that our test subject is a 3,400-pound cruiser without the amenities of modern-day ABS.
The entire Pro+ system comes with a variety of options, including 13- or 14-inch rotors with your choice of caliper colors in red, black, or silver powdercoat. Whether it's simply the look you're after or the performance for track days, Baer has put a lot of effort into their latest system, and rest assured, knowing it'll not only deliver but also exceed all of your expectations.
The front Pro+ brake system is an easy bolt-on and comes pre-assembled as one unit. These offer the two-piece hats, which are lighter than their one-piece counterparts and available in a larger 14-inch diameter rotor. You also get the choice between modified stock spindles or modified 2-inch drop spindles; if you prefer the modified 2-inch drop spindles, expect to pay an additional $300.
To eliminate any rubber hose flex, all lines were replaced with stainless braided lines.
For the rear setup, we opted for the same 14-inch rotors with six-piston calipers and it comes complete with a drum in hat assembly for the parking brake.
It's important to note that while the rear calipers look proportionally similar to the front, the six pistons are slightly smaller for correct front-to-rear brake bias.
Another advantage to the Pro+ system is the use of standard C5 and C6 Corvette brake pads, which are widely available and extremely cost effective.
To complement the aesthetics of the Pro+ system, we ordered a set of three-piece modular 18-inch S74 wheels from the Weld Racing RTS line. The fronts are 18x9.5, while the rears measure 18x11, both with a 6-inch backspace.
To prevent any fitment issues, Baer offers a brake template online. Simply download the template and cut along the perforation marks; it'll help you to size up the wheels accordingly.
To fill in our new shoes, we wrapped the S74 rollers with BFGoodrich g-Force KDWs P275/35ZR18 and P295/35ZR18, front and rear.

Time has become the most valuable commodity to all of us. In the business world, there never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done. In our personal lives, new conveniences, such as drive-through dry cleaners, drive-through coffee shops and cell phones that give us e-mail and text messages, help all of us get more done in less time. Our members are just as time-sensitive.
Lack of time, not price, continues to be the most frequently cited reason individuals and members give for not exercising on a regular basis. When they see value and convenience, people are more willing to pay whatever the price is as long as they do not have to spend a lot of time doing it. Everyone is still looking for that "magic pill," regardless of cost, that gives them all the results of exercise without requiring any more time.
More families are joining the larger, multi-purpose clubs so they can spend quality time together while getting healthy. Family participation in outdoor fitness activities has increased. More families are looking for diverse and creative ways to be active together — outdoor adventure activities and recreational sports including soccer, softball and touch football.
These family activities demonstrate that exercise is considered a leisure activity, and people want to have fun. Gone are the days when getting in shape meant simply running, puffing through an aerobics class, doing squats or lifting weights. Fitness facility owners and managers understand that many of their new clients are dissatisfied veterans of numerous health club campaigns and other clubs. With that in mind, club owners are doing more than offering the latest machinery and plants in the locker room. Now one of their goals is to create an experience for the member. Clubs that create a positive, rewarding experience for the member will not only increase member satisfaction but, more importantly, will also increase member loyalty and referrals.
However, members want that experience fast. Members want to quickly get in and out of their fitness facility (this is shown in the surge in small clubs, express circuits, abbreviated routines and shorter-duration group programming). We have seen many of the most successful trends (Pilates, circuit training, etc.) center around activities that take less than one hour and get good results. Clubs are keeping members engaged with a back-to-the-basics approach that includes time-efficient workouts and core strengthening.
We should embrace this time-starved trend as yet another opportunity to ease our parking problems and, similar to successful restaurants who provide excellent service to get patrons in and out in a timely fashion, process more happy members through our clubs in less time.
Club owners and trainers are also offering more flexible sessions to better fit members' busy schedules. For example, small-group personal training is increasing in popularity. This approach offers participants more social interaction, which can have a positive effect on exercise adherence.
Wellness coaching and nutritional counseling are becoming more popular, too. These services offer a more holistic approach to health and wellness. Wellness coaching helps individuals make healthy, positive choices in all aspects of every day life. Nutritional counseling is on the rise as many Americans continue to look for ways to manage weight and maximize performance.
For an industry where membership dues and fees make up almost 80 percent of the revenue, staying on top of the latest fitness trends is key. And that increasingly means offering exercises that not only provide fast results, but also are increasingly tailored to clients' interests.

On April 12, the second story and facade of 78-19 Jamaica Avenue collapsed, pouring rubble all over 79th Street and destroying a car. Miraculously, nobody was injured.
But the collapse badly damaged the WRHVAC headquarters next door, and forced the Woodhaven-Richmond Hill Senior Center to move its operations off the premises, depriving the ambulance corps of much-needed rental income.
Kathy Sexton Dalbey, president of WRHVAC, said the building has sustained a great a deal of damage, including having to remove the walls and the floor.
"It's just unbelievable," she said. "We're looking forward to getting back in here."
Before its collapse, the building next door to the Ambulance Corps had been cited for numerous violations, and the Department of Buildings had issued a partial vacate order. But the problems remained unresolved until the collapse, which the Fire Department attributed in part to heavy rainfall.
Now, over 10 months later, more fines have accrued and an arrest warrant has been issued for the owner of the damaged building, but the edifice remains a serious threat, both to the WRHVAC and to residents and neighbors.
Recently, melted snow from the collapsed building has caused water to flood into ambulance headquarters and might have compromised its structural integrity.
State Senator Joe Addabbo if considering proposing legislation that after 90 days the owner of a building must be forced to make repairs or the city intervenes.
"We want some action now," Addabbo said. "Let's get this building fixed."
Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley said behavior like this cannot be tolerated.
"I'm here to tell this property owner to start being responsible," she said.
Maria Thompson, executive director of the Woodhaven Business Improvement District (BID), has been a member of the community for 40 years. She said another collapse is not an option and people should not have to worry about a building falling.
"We want it taken down," she chanted. "Tear it down."
Joann Bartos, who lives on 79th Street and has been going to the senior center for a few years, is upset with being relocated. Many people cannot walk to the new facility and it's quite inconvenient, she said.
"We want to come back to our home," Bartos said.

The Northern California city of Vallejo has emerged from bankruptcy after three years in the hole.
As with so many other California governments in peril, some see the bankruptcy process as a way for cities, counties and school districts to get out from under overly generous promises and obligations and contracts.
In Vallejo, they note that pensions and other benefits for public employees were reduced -- the sort of thing that is much more difficult without bankruptcy.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
But the Vallejo experience shows that bankruptcy is a high price to pay for making such changes.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports this week that the city spent at least $8 million on legal fees. And there was all types of collateral damage -- to the business environment, to home prices, and the city's reputation.
The assistant city manager of Vallejo is quoted by the Chronicle as warning other California governments to avoid bankruptcy if at all possible.
"I'd only advise cities to go this route if they have no other options. The money spent on bankruptcy should be spent on providing services to residents."

Divided into several neighborhoods, the area has a commercial center with groceries, shops, and restaurants and a close knit mix of locals and second home owners. Properties in West Vail range from simple condominiums to elegant single-family homes, all of which are a quick 5-10 minute Town shuttle away from the heart of the Village.
