Savoring Small Pockets of Time ~
13 comments:
You said it, sister. I love those little breaks in the day. Mine is usually my mid-morning cup of green tea (you got me hooked) and I savor every sip. It's something I've really missed these past few days while we've been traveling.ReplyDelete
P.S. That photo is a dream. I just want to sit down beside you for a cup right now.Replies
E ~ mid-morning breaks are good too! trust me, i'll happily take a few sipping moments throughout the day!Delete
My treat -I love watching Maia Helles video - in her 90's she has a wonderful floor exercise that is a series and I love taking breaks to stretch my arms behind my back, to reach up and to touch my head to my knees. I think it is so important to give oxygen to ourselves. I do love a good cup of tea or coffee too and taking time to make a wonderful dinner after working at my art. The joy of simplicity, of routine and of living the best life we can for as long as we can....that is a treat.
patricia ~ReplyDelete
when are we going to meet? i can only imagine the delightful time we shall have together as we prepare a meal and share the simple pleasures of life. i'm in absolute heaven every time i watch the maia helles video. she is a true inspiration for everyone to live well, live strong, live long...all with a gracious and beautiful heart.
enjoy your week!
That picture...oh my. It instantly calmed me. Personally, I enjoy a 4pm-ish cup of Earl Gray tea or a small cup of think, frothy espresso. This summer, I spent 2 months abroad with my husband, who is English, while we explored England, France and Italy. It was amazing in so many ways, but one of the things I really took away with me is people in Europe know how to pause. They know how to take the time to slow down and enjoy the simple things, especailly tea (in England) and espresso (in France/Italy). It resonated so deeply with me because I feel we are all too all over the place and frantic, and people there will sit and sip their drink for hours. We all need some time to just BE.ReplyDeleteReplies
jocelyn, i couldn't agree with you more. my husband and i have traveled extensively in europe, and we are continuously drawn to the 'living' that takes place within the cafes and squares. it is such a civilized way of existing.Delete
and yes, an afternoon cup of earl grey is also divine. when the days grow cooler, i tend to switch to hot tea.
thank you for your lovely comment, and wishing you lots of time to BE.
Oh yes! I savor every moment I can, m favorite is right before my first sip of coffee in the more I breathe in the wonderful aroma and enjoy that very first sip!ReplyDelete
And tonight. I am enjoying the rain, sipping a glass of red wine and listening to the rain. Sweet and relaxing!
it's been a long time. how are you? i'll stop in to your world and see what you have been up to.
your evening sounds delightful. rain and wine, a good combo!
For me, each special pocket of time usually comes at different times each day. Sometimes it's the fresh, cool mornings with Amelia when we let the chickens out of their coop and follow closely behind them as they search for grasshoppers.
Sometimes, it's the afternoon during Amelia's nap when I settle down and plan for homeschooling lessons (my new creative outlet).
Sometimes, it's the late night hours when everyone is asleep and I find myself alone in the still, quiet room reading a favorite book.
And like you, a special snack always heightens the moment--dark chocolate short bread cookies dipped in coffee or a handful of lightly salted pistachios are a couple of my favorites...
I was pleased to read the comments you left on my blog a week or so ago.
I've missed connecting with you and I am glad to hear that you, Sean, and the Crumb had such a delightful summer.
my heart just skipped a beat at the thought of you and amelia in the chicken coop as the sun begins to rise. when i farm sit, this is my favorite part of the day. i believe i need chickens!
and my mouth is watering over the mention of dark chocolate shortbread cookies. look at you...a fancy baker now!
we need to be neighbors.
I agree! The afternoon cup of tea is a moment for just breathing. I need it, but some times it is hard to find the time.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reminding me! :)Replies
exactly the point, we must make time to enjoy a simple cup of tea, and i hope you savor every sip!Delete
Oh, yes please! I've been trying to slip a little meditation into my afternoons at work. It's been a bit hard because people just stop by my desk whenever they please. I'll keep trying though -- and maybe getting in a short walk when I get home in the evening. (Alternative: Write my book and get it published, then move overseas where I can savor every single moment...)ReplyDelete

Research has revealed that one in five people prefer pets to their partner.
The average pet owner gets 884 hours - or 74 working days - of quality time with their pet each year.
The research marks the launch of the Panasonic Smart Home monitoring system, which allows owners to keep an eye on their beloved companions when away from home.
A spokesman for Panasonic Smart Home said: "The results show the relationship we have with our pets is unshakeable and sometimes there's nothing else, or no one else, that can compete.
"The unique bond between a pet and their owner is testament to just how much our pets bring to our daily lives and how they shape our social and working routines.
"And rather than regret or reconsider the decision to take on a pet, the results showed quite the opposite - respondents wanted more time with their pet and the ability to check in on them when they're away from home."
But much as we love them, pets can test our patience - as these tales of woe prove:
*A couple's excitable puppy smashed an urn, spilling a departed relative's ashes all over the floor
*A couple returned home to a flooded kitchen with their guilty-looking cats marooned on top of the washing machine
*Two dogs sat meekly on the sofa … watching a burglar rob the house
*One greedy cat dragged a whole roast chicken - a neighbour's Sunday lunch - through the cat-flap
*A puppy ate his way through important vehicle registration documents and, ironically, a book called 'Perfect Puppy'
*One dog ate both arms of a pair of glasses and another chewed his way through his owner's dentures.
Just under half of respondents said they were less stressed because of their pet, while boosts to avoiding loneliness and having more energy were common.

Difference between revisions of "Winter sports in Austria"
Revision as of 15:10, 10 March 2008
This article is a travel topic
Austria offers a high density of ski resorts, most of them medium-sized. Most of Austria's ski resorts are not as spectacular and glamorous as the ones in Switzerland and France, but they are more cosy, less prone to mass tourism and a little cheaper. Due to the proximity most winter sport tourists in Austria come from southern Germany.
Winter sport tourism has become a billion euro industry in Austria and helped some towns to attain formidable wealth. Most Austrian ski resorts are former farming towns that have grown into many times their original size, but often retaining some of their charm in the old town core. A handful of ski resorts such as Obertauern were built completely from scratch in the 1960s and 1970s. Many resorts have responded to warmer winters by investing heavily in artificial snow generation. Some resorts are now so well-equipped that they're capable of offering excellent skiing conditions on most pistes even if the natural snow cover is just 5cm, as long as cold weather prevails during the night. All of this comes at a price of course, both environmental and financial . Ski pass prices have risen sharply during the last decade.
When to go
The ski season lasts from early December to late March. A small number of ski resorts keep their lifts open all year on glaciers.
The best conditions for skiing are in mid-January, the coldest time of the year. Late February is a good time for sun-seekers.
The most crowded time is the period from December the 25th until January the 2nd. Advanced skiers may want to avoid this time as slopes can be too congested to be enjoyable. All of February is also rather crowded because of school and university vacations.
The least crowded times are early December, mid-January and late March.
How to go
Package holidays are normally more convenient and often cheaper if you plan on skiing for a week only. Airport transfers, flights and accommodation are usually included.
However, they have the disadvantage that they mostly run from Saturday to Saturday, they feature few resorts outside the mainstream, and there is a distinct lack of self-catering accommodation or rooms in private houses in most brochures. These types, however, make up the most popular forms of accommodation in the country.
The increase in low-cost carrier flights to Salzburg, Munich and Friedrichshafen has meant that an increasing number of visitors arrange their own transport and accommodation.
Choosing a ski resort
Price, Size and Location
As a general rule, the larger the ski resort and the higher the elevation above sea level, the higher the price. Ski passes will consume a large proportion of your budget. Beginners will nomally find that they are unable to use most pistes covered by a ski pass in a large resort such as Arlberg.
Ski resorts in Carinthia and Styria tend to offer better value than those in Tyrol and Salzburg and are less crowded but this is often due to poorer conditions.
Athletic experience
Fast lifts (chairlifts and gondolas) mean more skiing than slow lifts (T bar lifts). You get what you pay for. Some resorts have a high proportion of black slopes and are less suitable for beginners.
Apres Ski
Apres Ski is about getting together after an exhausting day of skiing and talking to people in the many bars and pubs. Nowadays, larger resorts also offer organized Apres Ski gettogethers.
Other Activities
Some ski resorts are geared to ski and snowboard alone and others toward a wider range of activities or family tourism. If you're more after relaxation than skiing and partying staying away from purely athletic ski resorts will offer you better value for money.
Get in
By plane
The majority of Austrian ski resorts are no more than a 1-2 hour drive away from a large airport. Many packages include the flight and transfer to the airport. If you're travelling independently, you'll need to take a taxi and/or train/bus. Some hotels will offer shuttle buses for their guests for a good price. Salzburg, Zurich and Munich are good airports for resorts in Tyrol and Salzburg; Graz, Klagenfurt, Ljubljana and Venice for resorts in Carinthia, Styria and East Tyrol. Vienna airport is best avoided; it's a 4 hour drive away from the nearest medium-sized resort, and longer by public transport.
By train
Some ski resorts are poorly served by rail services due to their remoteness. Arlberg, Bad Gastein, Kitzbuehel, St. Johann im Pongau and Zell am See are larger ski resorts served by frequent rail services, and are easily accessible by train from neighbouring countries. Most large ski resorts that don't have a rail station can be accessed by train followed by a 30-45 min bus transfer.
By bus
Most resorts are served by public transport. The skibus networks are normally very well organised and punctual and almost always included in the lift pass.
By car
Austrian ski resorts are compact and pedestrian-geared so you're unlikely to need a car during your stay in a resort. Some areas (such as Ski Amade in Salzburgerland) offer many different towns spread about a large area all on one ski pass so if you wish to try different places to ski each day then a car is advisable. If you arrive in your own car, bear in mind that driving conditions can be challenging on routes to some higher resorts although roads are often cleared, gritted and salted very regularly. However, it is a good idea to take snow chains and to have some experience in winter driving. It is often cheaper to connect by taxi on departure/arrival.
Food in resorts is well priced and often offers many Austrian specialities. Some larger restaurants have a canteen styled service but the quality of the food is normally very good. It can be hard for a vegatarian to have a varied diet throughout their stay as even the salads are often served with chicken. In towns the guest houses can provide you with traditional cuisine but it is always easy to find a Kebab or Pizza/Italien restaurant.
Book accommodation as far in advance as you can. The number of beds in most resorts is limited, and the later you book the less likely you are to find good value. Be aware that accommodation in some cheap packages is not located in the main ski resort, rather in a nearby town from which you must connect by bus.
Many hotels in Austria are family run and offer personal service and surprisingly good facilities at reasonable prices, especially in smaller resorts. Going to the sauna after the pistes to warm up and relax tired muscles, as well as fine dining is considered as important as the skiing itself by many Austrians. You'll miss out on a great part of the Austrian ski experience if you book accommodation without sauna facilities.
Self-catering accommodation is also widely available, but bear in mind that the difference in total price between a half board hotel and a self catering appartment is not huge, and many skiers find they have little energy or desire to cook a meal and clean up themselves after a tiring day on the pistes.
Avalanche danger
As with all ski resorts, avalanches are an underestimated hazard. Off-piste skiing is available and there are often Itinerary Runs. Some ski areas offer a 'Free Ride' area. This is a 'safe' area to ski and board off piste. Skiing off-piste is always an excellent activity but never be unprepared and ski safely! If in doubt, go with a guide.
There are numerous ski and snowboard rental shops in every larger resort. The choice is normally best made by convenience to the slopes or to accommodation.
When hiring equipment it's a good idea to turn up early, and since Austrians get out of bed early in general, that can mean before 8:30 am. Queuing for an hour to have your ski boots fitted can be very frustrating when you're eager to get to the pistes. It is almost always better to try to arrange ski hire, ski lessons and lift passes as soon as possible after arrival in the resort. Most of the offices will stay open until late afternoon on a Saturday (the main resort changeover day).
Austria's ski and snowboard instructor industry is centrally regulated by the government. Licensed ski instructors must take a series of comprehensive state exams to climb up the hierarchy of Skilehrer (conventional ski instructor, mostly part-time workers) , Landesskilehrer (regional ski instructor) and Staatlicher Skilehrer (national ski instructor). Courses can be taken privately or in groups (Ski school). Beginners normally book a ski school for their first week.

Pranay needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 159 designs submitted by 65 freelance designers.
Intuit is a software company that is often known for Quicken, TurboTax, and QuickBooks. We're having a conference for our employees called "create the offering forum" known internally as CTOF. While this is an internal conference for our 7000+ employees, we will have external speakers that are leaders in innovation.
Intuit employees in product development and product management.
The name of the conference is "CTOF 2010". This must be included in the logo. The conference theme is "Innovate for Impact", which could be included in the logo but doesn't have to be.
The logo must reflect cool technology, innovation and having an impact. Some ideas we've explored but have discarded are historical innovations (not cutting-edge enough) and comic book-style "pow" bursts (not innovative enough). One idea we'd like to explore is a big bang look – an explosion of planets or atomic particles from a central core. The surface of the spheres should look bright and cool (maybe metallic).
The logo should reflect Intuit's brand guidelines. The font must be FS Albert, the colors should be as close to our brand palette (attached) as possible, and there must be prominent use of circles.
The logo will be used in a number of ways.
1) It will be pasted into emails, so it must look good against a white background.
2) It will be projected on a large screen at the conference, and we'd like to be able to animate it. If we go with the big bang concept, the obvious animation is planets shooting out from the core.
3) It will be used in posters with text on them ("General Session", "Registration", etc.). Either the logo could be a smaller element on the poster or it could be blown up to include the text within it (replacing "CTOF 2010").

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI this morning signed the decree recognizing the miracle needed for the beatification of British Cardinal John Henry Newman.
A date for the beatification of the 19th-century cardinal, who founded the Oxford Movement in the Church of England before becoming a Roman Catholic, has not been announced. Nor is it known where the ceremony will take place or who will preside.
Pope Benedict XVI has not been presiding over beatification ceremonies and most of the beatifications he has authorized have been celebrated in the blessed's home country.
What is clear, however, is that the healing accepted as the miracle needed for the beatification involves Deacon John Sullivan of Marshfield, Mass. The deacon was cured of a debilitating back injury after praying for the intercession of Cardinal Newman.

To reduce outdoor water consumption.
Reduce outdoor water use through one of the following options. Nonvegetated surfaces, such as permeable or impermeable pavement, should be excluded from landscape area calculations. Athletic fields and playgrounds (if vegetated) and food gardens may be included or excluded at the project team's discretion.
Option 1. No irrigation required (2 points except Healthcare, 1 point Healthcare)
Show that the landscape does not require a permanent irrigation system beyond a maximum two-year establishment period.
Option 2. Reduced irrigation (1-2 points except Healthcare, 1 point Healthcare)
Reduce the project's landscape water requirement (LWR) by at least 50% from the calculated baseline for the site's peak watering month. Reductions must first be achieved through plant species selection and irrigation system efficiency as calculated in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) WaterSense Water Budget Tool.
Additional reductions beyond 30% may be achieved using any combination of efficiency, alternative water sources, and smart scheduling technologies.

Wabash Set To Rebound Against Oberlinby Brent Harris • October 15, 2010 Share:
For the first time since 2007 Wabash football returns to Byron P. Hollett Little Giant Stadium to try and rebound from a road loss.
The Little Giants lost a heart-breaking 24-21 contest at DePauw on November 10, 2007 on a last-second field goal before defeating Mount St. Joseph 31-21 at home in the first round of the playoffs. Saturday Wabash will face a much-improved Oberlin College (2-3, 1-2 NCAC) team after suffering a 24-20 defeat at Washington-St. Louis last Saturday.
However, for Wabash (4-1, 2-0 NCAC) the focus will be as much on its own execution as it will be on its opponent.
"We've got to have some mental toughness," Head Coach Erik Raeburn said. "Certainly the loss to Washington-St. Louis is disappointing, but we always tell the players you get to celebrate a win for 24 hours then move on and you can only dwell on a loss for 24 hours before you move past it and prepare for your next game.
"We still have to eliminate the penalties and mental mistakes. We didn't execute on several plays on both offense and defense. That has very little to do with your opponent and more about preparing both mentally and physically for the game. We have played five games now. You shouldn't have any assignment errors. Some things are out of your control. You should be able to eliminate mistakes in areas that are in your control."
Despite the loss, there were several areas where the Little Giants continued to show the execution that lead to four wins to start the season. Senior JD McClintic recorded the seventh blocked kick of the season to end the Bears' first offensive drive. The missed field goal helped Wabash extend its first quarter shutout streak to five straight games. Wabash has outscored opposing teams 41-0 in the opening period heading into today's game versus Oberlin. Junior quarterback Tyler Burke threw one touchdown pass and ran for a three-yard score in the closing minutes of the game to give the Little Giants a three-point lead. Burke came into the game after starter Chase Belton suffered an injury late in the first half.
Senior Derrick Yoder proved his value not only as a runner, but also as a receiver out of the backfield. Yoder caught a one-yard TD strike from Belton in the second quarter to tie the game at 7-7, then danced down the sideline on a 40-yard catch and run from Burke in the third period. Yoder accounted for 114 yards of total offense for the Little Giants.
The Little Giants will face a tough opponent in Oberlin. The Yeomen came close to knocking off undefeated Wittenberg University — ranked sixth in the nation at the time — in a 27-21 contest two weeks ago. Head Coach Jeff Ramsey's squad is the top team in red zone scoring in the North Coast Athletic Conference with 17 scores in 19 trips and is third in overall scoring offense (29.4 points per game).
Sophomore quarterback Josh Mandel has already thrown for 784 yards and eight touchdowns in four games. Mandel threw for 212 yards and two scores against Case Western Reserve in a 48-36 loss last Saturday. Senior Joey Zebelian has also provided a spark on offense, throwing for 547 yards and seven TDs, giving Oberlin two threats at the quarterback position. Alex Niec, Ryan Harvey, Danny Enright, and Cory Kidd all have more than 15 receptions this season and average more than 40 receiving yards a game. The Yeomen ground game is averaging 119.8 yards per game, led by junior Drew Mixter with a 47.6 yards-per-game average.

Tummy Troubles? Fruits & Veggies Provide Much Needed Nutrition
In the past few years there has been increased awareness around a variety of gastrointestinal problems. IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) including Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, acid reflux and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) impact the lives of hundreds of thousands in our country alone. As a UC sufferer myself, I can tell you that while diet is not the root cause of these issues, it does play a big role in the symptoms of these diseases–especially when they are in their active stage, otherwise known as "flares." Diet modification and avoiding specific foods are required for most with these diseases, but it's important to ensure you are getting the vitamins and minerals both fruits and vegetables provide to keep yourself healthy.
Diet is a big challenge for those who suffer from these conditions as well as parents of those who suffer from them (Crohn's and UC frequently strike in young children and teens). Until I was diagnosed a few years ago, I was a big salad fan and would consume large salads with a variety of raw veggies on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I find that most raw vegetables are now a no-no for me. Rather than omit or reduce the amount I consumed, I had to figure out how to prepare them in a way that would be tolerable for my condition. Let me stress that a solution may be different for each person–what works for me may not necessarily work for someone else. I'll give you some ideas and guidelines, but it's important to keep a food diary so that you can track which foods don't agree with you and make further modifications.
- Fiber Fears – While fiber has lots of health benefits for the average person, it can be a problem for those with stomach conditions. As mentioned, raw veggies contain a lot of fiber and can be difficult for the body to break down. I find that cooking veggies eliminates the problem for me. Remove skins and seeds to further reduce potential irritants.
- Wheat – Celiac disease sufferers, in particular, must avoid wheat products as they are allergic to the gluten in wheat. Today, many grocery items can be found gluten-free and some restaurants are now offering gluten-free alternatives on their menus. Corn and rice products are many times a great substitute for wheat.
- Fatty Foods – Foods high in fat are difficult to digest. Try to avoid deep frying or adding a lot of oils or creams to your recipes. Broiling, steaming and roasting are better cooking options and much healthier too!
It's amazing how much better I feel when I eat the appropriate, well-balanced foods. My own trick has been to incorporate easy-to-digest fruits and vegetables to my diet. Applesauce, melon, cooked veggies and roasted or mashed sweet potatoes are all well tolerated and provide me with much needed nutrients. I encourage you to visit our Fruit & Vegetable Nutrition Database. It will provide you with nutrition information on a wide variety of fruits and veggies so you can decide what works best for you. Also see our related About the Buzz to get additional info on how fruits and veggies impact GI problems.

The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law has received multiple awards, rankings and individual recognitions of late.
The National Jurist has ranked the school as one of the best-value law schools in the nation in its new rankings. The school scored an "A-" in the rankings because of high bar-passage rates, affordable tuition, average debt upon graduation, employment rate and an attractive cost of living.
The school also was also listed as a "best bargain law school for black students" by Lawyers of Color magazine. Additionally, the school was recognized by the Council on Legal Education Opportunity (CLEO) at its 45th anniversary celebration earlier this fall. The school was recognized as a member of the inaugural group of William A. Blakey Diversity Pipeline Architects and featured in CLEO's "45 for 45" celebration, which recognized 45 law schools, 45 law firms, corporations and associations, and 45 individuals.
Meanwhile, the school also had the highest bar-passage rate among public schools in Tennessee on the most recent bar exam in July, with a pass rate of 91 percent. That's higher than the state average of 84 percent for first-time test takers on the July bar exam.

The Tennessee Republican Party and former chief of staff Mark Winslow have settled a lawsuit over the public disclosure of his severance pay after he left the state GOP.
Republican U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann of Chattanooga and political operative Chip Saltsman remain defendants in the case headed for trial on Feb. 24.
"I am pleased we have reached an amicable resolution of this unfortunate matter and look forward to Mark's continuing good work for the party and our principles," state Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney said in a release Thursday.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
Devaney chose not to retain Winslow after he was elected to replace former Chairwoman Robin Smith, who left the position in 2009 to run for Congress.
Winslow went to work as a top aide to Smith's campaign, and later details of the confidential severance agreement became the subject of media reports and ads by Fleischmann's campaign. Fleischmann ended up winning the nomination and the general election.
"Their target was Robin Smith, but they used Mark Winslow, who had worked for the party, and is still on the state executive committee," said Winslow's attorney, Gary Blackburn. "And they described his behavior as at least unethical and probably illegal."
Winslow sued Fleishman, Saltsman and the state GOP in Davidson County Circuit Court, seeking a combined $750,000 in damages on the basis that his reputation had been unfairly damaged by the disclosures.
Saltsman, in testimony last year, said documents describing the payments were left anonymously on the steps of the garage at his home.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew makes a five-nation swing through Asia this week and will reiterate that completion of an ambitious trans-Pacific trade pact by the year's end remains a top U.S. priority.
Lew will also visit China to discuss the results of a high-level Communist party meeting expected to unveil key economic reforms this weekend.
Lew begins his trip in Japan Tuesday. He then travels to Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, before visiting China.
All those nations except China are in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which aims to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers.
Finalizing such a highly complex agreement by year's end – a goal reaffirmed by leaders of the 12 participating nations last month – remains a tough task.
A new Obama administration rule requires insurers to cover treatment for mental health and substance abuse no differently than they do for physical illnesses.
The Obama administration had pledged to issue a final mental health parity rule as part of its effort to reduce gun violence.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says patients seeking mental health or substance abuse care have at time suffered discrimination through higher out-of-pocket costs or stricter limits on hospital stays or visits to the doctor.
Sebelius says nearly 60 percent of people with mental health conditions and nearly 90 percent with substance abuse disorders don't receive the treatment they need.
Walgreen has closed on its acquisition of Kerr Drug's 76 retail drugstores and its specialty pharmacy business.
Walgreen Co. announced the deal in September. The transaction also includes a distribution center, but does not include the long-term care pharmacy business of Kerr, a privately held regional chain.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
The buyout will help Walgreen, the nation's biggest drugstore chain, expand its North Carolina presence.
Walgreen has been on an acquisition-fueled growth spurt.
Last year, the Deerfield, Ill. company said it would buy a stake in European health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots, the largest drugstore chain in the United Kingdom, in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $6.7 billion. Walgreen also has an option to buy the rest of the company in a few years.
Walgreen also spent $438 million to buy a regional chain that runs USA Drug, Super D and May's drugstores. It said that deal would help it expand to smaller communities.

This recipe intrigued me because of its unusual method; it doesn't require you to melt the butter and syrup/treacle, and the flour is self raising. It also includes an egg. Using dark treacle (my usual recipe uses the paler golden syrup) produced a darker, spicier biscuit that I particularly enjoyed. I also found the dough easier to work with than some gingerbreads:
Wherever I travel I'm always likely to return with biscuit cutters and cake tins! Salzburg was no exception and I came back with two rather unusual biscuit cutters in my suitcase: a Krampus cutter ...
...and a cutter in the shape of the Stiegl brewery logo...
....oh yes, my Christmas biscuits can be filed under "e" for "eclectic" this year! Just to balance out the weirdness I did go for the more standard Christmas cutters:
It pains me to type this next sentence, but I've noticed that – over the Christmas period – people don't always seem to want cake whereas they'll always gladly accept a biscuit. Do you think I made enough?
Happy Christmas to you all – I hope your Christmas is filled with sugar and spice and everything nice!
325g self raising flour
3 teaspoons ground ginger – I used a lot more, but this is a guideline amount
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
85g unsalted butter, from the fridge
115g dark brown sugar
85g black treacle ( I tried a second batch with 45g golden syrup and 40g black treacle and preferred it)
1 egg
To decorate: whatever you choose!
Place the flour, ginger, cinnamon and butter in a food processor and blitz until you have something akin to breadcrumbs. If you don't have a food processor rub the butter into the flour, then stir in the spices – it will stop your fingers getting stained with the spice!
Place the brown sugar, black treacle and egg in a mixing bowl and beat until runny and well combined. I always place the mixing bowl on the scales when weighing out black treacle as it saves you having to scrape it out of the scale's bowl.
Tip the flour mixture into the treacle mixture and beat until the dough forms clumps.
Tip the dough onto a large sheet of clingfilm and use the clingfilm to help you bring the dough together – I recommend this for three reasons: firstly it saves you over-handling the dough, secondly you don't get dirty and thirdly, you don't have to add extra flour to the dough to stop it sticking so the finished biscuit will be softer and moister.
Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan oven 160˚C/350˚F/gas mark 4.
Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of clingfilm – don't add flour unless necessary – I needed a little flour when I used solely black treacle as I had sticky treacle patches in my dough; it definitely made it harder to re-roll. You're aiming to roll it about 0.5cm thick. When I used a blend of black treacle and golden syrup no flour was necessary and re-rolling was a dream!
Use the cutters you have chosen to cut out the dough.
Re-roll the scraps and keep on until you have used all the dough. If you've dusted the surface with flour, it may be hard to get the gingerbread back into a ball; try wetting your hands a little and kneading the dough – it should do the trick!
Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits feel firm to the touch.
Leave, in the trays, for 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate as desired.
Gingerbread gets better with age – make this several days in advance for a biscuit that packs a punch with its flavour!
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.

Yesterday, I explored the carbon captured by a straw bale building as a factor in getting to a carbon neutral/negative household. Today, I want to look at how far building-integrated photovoltaics can get us. Let's start with a breakdown of typical residential energy demand. I found figures from the EIA Residential Energy Consumption Survey (Table 14, 2005) as follows, based on region.
To this, I would like to add vehicle usage and personal air travel. Slightly out of date figures from the 2001 National Household Travel Survey show household gasoline usage at 1053 gallons/household/year, and at 115,000 btu/gallon, that's 121 million btu/hh/yr.
I couldn't quickly find good household airline usage statistics, but overall, airlines used 8.5% of transportation energy versus 76% being used on highways. So we can guess that household airline usage is about one tenth of household gasoline usage, overall. That gives this:
These numbers are a bit rough and ready, but will get us in the ballpark. So, the biggest chunks, in order, are household driving/gasoline usage, then heating (except in the South), then hot water, and then it gets into the smaller pieces. Over time, climate change is going to tend to drive down the heating piece, and increase the air conditioning piece.
Before we think about the conservation options here, let's just briefly calculate how much PV is required to generate this much energy. For that, we need a map of the solar resource, like this one:
For my purposes, I'm going to take the NorthEast as having 4.5 kWh/m2/day, the Midwest as 5.0, the South as 5.25, and the West as 5.75 (with the understanding that these are rough regional averages - there are places in Arizona where you can get up to 7.0). We have to multiply this by a solar panel efficiency. For my purposes, I'm going to use the Dow integrated roof shingle pictured at the start of the piece, which uses a CIGS cell with a 13% efficiency. Doing the math, to get from kWh to btu, days, to years, etc, we get the blue bars in the following graph for the PV requirement:
(Note that there are a variety of issues with this - in particular, you can't power a gasoline car with PV in any sensible way - so this is just a rough indication).
The y-axis is in square meters. You can get to square feet by multiplying by 10 (pretty close, anyway). Clearly, these totals are a bit of a stretch to fit onto the roof of a residence. For example, our house from yesterday had a 48' x 32' exterior footprint. Positing a 45 degree south-facing shed roof (not the most practical or appealing roof design), with a 2' overhang all round and covered in PV, we get 52 x 36 x 1.414 = 2600 square feet - not quite enough in the north-east.
The red bars show what happens if you make the following assumptions:
- Super-insulation saves you a factor 4 on the heating and cooling energy usage
- Use of ground-source heat pumps saves you another factor 4 on the heating usage.
- Preheating of water via the ground source, or solar hot water, saves you a factor two on the hot water energy usage.
- Use of electric cars saves you 3X on the driving energy usage (roughly the ratio of electric motor efficiency to internal combustion engine efficiency)
- No other changes.
Finally, this is an operating energy calculation. Embodied energy will have to wait for another time.

TVs using OLED screens are about to take a big leap forward, with an emphasis on the word "big," as LG has announced it'll be showing off a new 55-inch OLED television — billed as the world's largest — at CES 2012 in January.
LG debuted the world's thinnest OLED TV at the IFA show back in August 2010, with their 2.9mm deep 31-inch model.
Up until now, OLED screens have been more commonplace on smartphones and televisions with smaller screens, however according to LG Display's CEO Dr. Sang Beom Han, the company has "successfully addressed" the problems encountered when super-sizing OLED panels.
The 55-inch panel boasts a contrast ratio in excess of 100,000:1 and a wider color gamut than regular LCD TVs, plus it's incredibly thin at just 5mm – that's slimmer than both the iPhone 4S and the Samsung Galaxy S II.
OLED technology has several other benefits too, with a light chassis and no need for a permanently lit backlight, meaning the screen consumes less power and is therefore more environmentally friendly. However, the one drawback concerning OLED is the price.
The 15-inch EL9500 OLED TV is already for sale in the UK, where it costs £1500 or about $2300, and the 31-inch version is the equivalent of $9000, or £6000. Pocket-lint has used some math to come up with a potential £20,000/$30,000 price tag for the 55-inch screen.
You've still got some time to save up if that's a touch out of your budget, as although the screen will make its debut at CES, it's not expected to go on sale until later in the year.

The Fourth of July Fireworks Extravaganza will begin at 6 p.m. and will conclude with a fireworks display at approximately 9 p.m. at Ned Moseley Stadium behind Stuttgart High School.
The Stuttgart City Council made quick work of the agenda during Tuesday night's Stuttgart City Council meeting, approving the street closing for the annual Stuttgart Lions Club's Fourth of July Firework Extravaganza unanimously.
Dave Straus, with the Stuttgart Lions Club/Stuttgart Fireworks Committee, asked for Ricebird Lane and Harry Crawford Drive to be closed from 5 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, July 4.
"Street closure barricades will be obtained for the Stuttgart Street Department," Straus wrote to the council in his request for street closure form. "Street closings are needed for public safety."
The Fourth of July Fireworks Extravaganza will begin at 6 p.m. and will conclude with a fireworks display at approximately 9 p.m. at Ned Moseley Stadium behind Stuttgart High School.
Stuttgart Mayor Marianne Maynard gave Stuttgart Fire Chief Billy Burns the floor Tuesday about concerns brought up by the public. Apparently several residents along with some Stuttgart City Council members have called the department in regards to seeing the Stuttgart fire trucks out in the city.
Burns said since January the department has been on 427 calls and made 85 inspections to city businesses. This could be one of the many reasons the public sees the trucks away from the departments, he explained. But he also said the firefighters are allowed out of the stations and will not be "cooped up" under his command.
"It is a good moral booster for these guys to get out," Burns said of experience spanning 16 years as a firefighter. He has been under rules of both — allowed out and stay in station only — and for his department he will allow the department out.
"The businesses like us coming," he said of local restaurants where the firefighters eat on occasion and from other local businesses where firefighters make other stops.
"Only two have left since I have been here," Burns said, explaining the turnover rate before his arrival was something that was discussed quite often.
Moving on to council member topics Alderman Donald Stephens brought up the sirens going off Monday afternoon after a cold air funnel cloud, according to the National Weather Service, was spotted.
"I think it was a good thing it went off," he said. "I appreciate that they went off."
Maynard said Stuttgart Police Chief Mike Smith is very cautious when it comes to sounding the alarm, but once it was called in and reported the decision was made to sound the alarms.
"It is better to be safe than sorry," Maynard said. "Because we all know what can happen."
Stuttgart Alderman Joe Alexander Jr. asked for more police presence in the Wood Street area next to Producers Rice Mill and Riceland Foods where 18-wheelers are not supposed to be traveling. Stuttgart Police Department Administrative Capt. Dean Mannis said he would handle the situation and bring more awareness to truck drivers in that area.
The next Stuttgart City Council meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 16, at Stuttgart City Hall, located at 304 S. Maple Street. The July 2 meeting is cancelled because Maynard will be out of town.
For more information or to have an item added to the agenda, call (870) 673-3535. Meetings are open to the public.

Auckland, New Zealand-based Spidertracks is hopeful of other deals with helicopter manufacturers after its Spider real-time tracking system was recently selected by Robinson Helicopters as an option for all R22, R44 and R66 models.
The Spidertracks system uses the Iridium satellite network to send real-time aircraft location to a web application. Two versions are available – the Spider S3 which costs U.S. $995 and the S5 at $1795, which is enabled with Bluetooth allowing the user to send and receive SMS messages to any iOS or Android device.
The company has sold nearly 4,500 systems, with 50 percent of these used on helicopters – operators who were early adopters of the technology, says Kathryn Dallison, marketing executive. Australian operator Heliwest, for example, uses the system to track its 29 helicopters. Sundance Helicopters in the U.S. is using it to track its helicopters in the Grand Canyon, as is Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters.

Under the agreement with Robinson, all aircraft will be pre-wired with a Spider power cord and a mounting bracket will be installed on top of the instrument cluster, offering clear view to the sky for optimal connectivity to GPS and Iridium satellites, says Spidertracks chief executive officer James McCarthy.
"With the Robinson Helicopters relationship in our repertoire, we are confident that we can work with any aircraft manufacturer to achieve the same outcome," Dallison says. Spidertracks is talking to other manufacturers, he adds, declining to provide details.

I doubt you'd ever find a Bengal abandoned. They aren't cheap. I got mine for half price (the breeder's husband had a stroke and she needed to get rid of the litter) and she was $450. If I bought her as a breeder instead of a pet, she would have been $1200. I had to sign a contract that I can't take her to a shelter and all these other stipulations. A lot of hassle, but she's more than worth it. I've never seen such a smart feline. She walks on a leash, talks on the phone, just a really amazing creature.
Yeah, they're costly. And it's great to see that they implement such regulations so that they're not subjected to abuse.
Mine hates the leash. :D

It's a cat. Cats normally are less disgusting than people...Why? They're just laying there.
You never owned a cat, did you? They only have one tongue. You can do the rest of the math.
Wouldn't mind the edgy self called "Misanthrop" there, but some people really don't like cats.

The 2010 vintage in Napa was cool, late, and long, yielding elegant, focused, almost Bordeaux-styled wines — a definite departure from recent great vintages in which heat, drought, sun, and fruit driven power are the hallmarks. These are solid, structured wines that will need a few years to shed their youthful grip and tension. It will be interesting to watch how the 2010s age, but if you're fond of restrained, classically-styled Napa Valley Cabernet, this is your vintage.
The season started late, with ample rainfall. After several years of very dry conditions, rain was welcome, though it pushed back the ripening cycle (bud break, flowering, and fruit set) by about two weeks. Frost was never a problem. The summer that followed was cool, and growers worked to adjust canopies and crop loads to accommodate the slow pace of ripening. Veraison occurred about two weeks late, and by the middle of August many were predicting that harvest would be almost three weeks later than average.
With vineyards pruned and canopies thinned for the cool conditions (temperatures regularly topped out around 70℉ during mid-summer), a couple of heat spikes in late August and early September (some to well over 100℉) presented challenges for growers. Many vineyards that were set up for optimal sun exposure in the cool conditions were damaged by sunburn. This required hard work to isolate and drop the damaged bunches. A reduction in yields was part of the collateral damage. After the spikes, cool temperatures returned, and September stayed cool except for a brief warm spell at month's end.
The harvest was late but the grapes needed the extra hang time to develop. The brief warm spell at the end of September, and another in the middle of October, helped the plants eke out a little more ripeness. With rain predicted in the third week of October, it was time to pick, ready or not.
Overall, it was a tricky and challenging year. Managing the cool summer and then dealing with the heat were major obstacles. The best, but most labor intensive and painful strategy, seems to have been to thin bunches and set up for maximum ripening, meticulously select out the berries damaged by heat, and then pick as late as possible before the rain. The growers that did this ended up with a small but concentrated and classically balanced crop. It was certainly labor intensive, and costly, in terms of the reduced yields, but who said grape growing was easy?
The best wines from this vintage are solid and deeply colored, with beautiful aromatics, concentration, purity, and detail. Generally speaking, alcohols are lower than the norm, and the wines express lively, deep, dark fruit notes, elements that only come from long, cool growing seasons. They have the acidity, tannin, and structure to match the fruit, and should be long-lived, classy wines. Where growers got it wrong, you can find green notes and a weird combination of cool-climate unripe, herbal tones, oddly mixed with overripe, candied or bitter, burnt characteristics (from bunches affected by the heat that weren't sorted out). From the weather to the wines, we're talking about a vintage of peaks and valleys, but when winemakers and growers really got it right, quality is outstanding.

Finland's west coast rock and metal band Circle will be "artists-in-residence" at next year's edition of the Roadburn Festival, set to take place April 14-16, 2011 at the Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland.
Circle and side project Pharaoh Overlord will be bringing their relentless riffs and genre-destroying musical virtuosity back to Roadburn for the first time since 2007. Circle will be drawing from their enormous (33+ full length records!) discography to play two completely different sets from their 2010 European tour.
With their style ranging from psychedelic rock to free jazz, with literally dozens of other genres between, they has been one of the most diverse musical groups of our time, and if there was ever a band designed to play multiple sets at a festival, it would be Circle. Not only do they have literally hundreds of songs to choose from, but they are also extremely creative and capable of musically changing styles and sounds at the drop of a studded leather hat. Add in their bizarre-but-consummate showmanship, and you have a compelling recipe for
maximum entertainment.
Circle spin-off band Pharaoh Overlord will be playing for one set as well, and anyone who saw them in 2007 knows that it will be something quite unforgettable. They take stoner rock and deconstruct it to it's most minimal form, The Riff, resulting in music that is akin to well-muscled instrumental kraut rock. Combining their deliberate heaviness with a unique on-stage delivery, they induce a psychotropic stoner-sufi trance that is as much a riff worship ritual as it is a musical performance. After a 4-year recording hiatus, they have recently released their new album, Siluurikaudella.

How Does Swami Know Everything?
Sathya Sai Baba often teaches us through His devotees. I (Venkatesh Prasad) would like to share with you one such incident that occurred at Trayee Brindavan. This happened during a darshan session.
It so happened that on that day there was a devotee from Puttaparthi whom Swami lovingly called His 'Hanuman', sitting next to me. This devotee had, in Swami's own words, achieved a different plane of living. The relationship between him and Swami was totally different. This devotee, during the strict silence that generally pervades before Bhagavan's arrival, asked me a question, "How does Swami know everything?"
At that point I did not want to answer this question because I did not want to talk as it was darshan time. Also, I knew that such discussions could potentially last a long time! I realized that I would be creating trouble for myself entering into such a conversation sitting right outside Swami's main door. So, I tried to avoid the topic, but he would not let me go!
Therefore, without turning my head towards his side, I said, "Swami is antaryami (All-knowing one)." He immediately said, "That is what Swami says in His discourses, but now you tell me how Swami knows everything?" I had only one thought running through my head: stop this conversation. Again I replied tersely, "Swami is God."
He gave me the same response, "That is what Swami says in His discourses, but how does Swami knows everything?" The question-answer volley was heading in a direction in which I did not want to go.
So, with all humility I asked him, "Uncle, why don't you tell me how Swami knows everything." I thought by making him talk I might escape. But, what followed after that was one of the greatest blessings that Swami has showered on me. What he told me is perhaps the greatest truth.
He said, "I will tell you how Swami knows everything. When an ant bites your foot or hand, how do you know?"
I said, "It is my hand and my foot, so I know."
"Very true!" He said, "Have you seen in Hindu households a picture of a standing Vishnu with twenty arms, twenty heads, a cow in His stomach and so on? That is the Viraat Swaroop (cosmic form) of Vishnu."
"Yes, I have seen that."
"Through the art, the artist wanted to communicate the cosmic form of the Lord. If you notice, all living forms are present in His body, in fact, the entire universe. Everything is contained in Him.
Everything is Him, He is everything. Now, just as you come to know of the sensation when an ant bites your hand or leg, the Lord knows whatever happens in this universe and the universes beyond, because everything is sustained in Him. They are part of the Lord. That is how Swami is Antaryami and how He knows everything."
I cannot describe the profound impact that simple explanation made on me. It was a very lucid, crystal clear explanation of how Swami is omnipresent. I wondered in total amazement at how many years this uncle would have struggled and prayed to the Lord to arrive at this state of mind, and here he was putting everything in one small, sweet easy to swallow capsule.
With that the devotee stopped talking and as if on this cue, Swami opened the door, walked towards us and then stood right in front of us. I had a wonderful padanamaskar. The devotee too prostrated at His feet.
From that day on I always had the thought that I am not alone. He is always with me. There was never an occasion after that where I found making decisions tough, for I am in Swami and whatever happens is His will!

STOCKHOLM (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - In February 2017 at a rally in Melbourne, Fla., President Donald Trump singled out Sweden a a place with problems.
"You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this?" he asked.
The president later clarified his comments, pointing to a report he had seen about some of the issues facing the country of 10 million people after an influx of asylum applications into the country.
The problems Trump referenced originated in Syria and Iraq with the war against ISIS.
Extremists were the primary target, but millions were caught in the middle and forced to flee their country.
According to the UN refugee agency, more than 5 million people sought refuge outside Syria.
Many spread across Europe.
Three-thousand miles away - more than a quarter million over a two-year period applied for asylum in Sweden.
The past few years also saw an uptick in violence, according to statistics provided by the Swedish government.
Murders, assaults, and rapes increased.
In Malmö, police were actively investigating four reported gang rapes since November 2017.
Glen Sjögren, who has patrolled the streets of Malmö for 41 years said he's seen things change dramatically, particularly among the youth.
"Drugs, weapons, gangs... that's the main problem," he said.
While the Swedish government provides housing, healthcare, schooling, and welfare to people, some argue that's not enough, because immigrants are finding it difficult to assimilate to the Swedish culture.
"We have to integrate them into our society in a better way than we do right now," Sjögren explained.
He feels that Sweden's laws aren't up to date to handle the influx of people who came into the country.
Niklas Orrenius, a journalist who has written five books - one of which focuses on Islamic extremism - says he doesn't believe in the narrative that the refugees fleeing Syria and other countries are contributing to the rise in violence.
"I wouldn't say that most of them bring the same conflict with them because most of them just want to be living in peace with their families, that's why they came," he said.
"I just know some of them are still harboring extremist views."
Orrenius said radical Islamists are a real problem in his country, as some see it as a place to hide in plain sight.
"Sweden has had 300 young men and women go to Iraq and Syria to join terrorist organizations, that is a very high number."
Journalists here, he said, didn't keep up.
"For many years my colleagues, journalists didn't do their job, and also politicians. They didn't really see that this was a really big problem in Sweden. With terrorist supporters and some mosques being breeding grounds for them."
But some Swedes who spoke to In Your World said the increase of refugees and crime simultaneously is not a problem - but instead a story that is getting blown out of proportion by the media, and Trump.
Here's a look at some of the violence that took place while we were in Stockholm:

Prospector complaints: bad drivers, graffiti, loud music, 'hooligans'
November 20, 2012
Some of the people in Prospector are worried about bad drivers.
Others do not like loud music, do not want drugs in the neighborhood or say there is graffiti. One does not like the "hooligans" in Prospector.
At least three people polled by the Park City Police Department recently said there were not criminal problems in Prospector.
A police officer whose beat encompasses Prospector in early November asked people in a parking lot at a grocery store to complete a survey about crime in the neighborhood. The survey consisted of five open-ended questions inquiring whether people see a "criminal problem," what steps the Police Department could take and whether someone is "willing to help make a difference and how."
The officer, who has been with the department for a few years, approached 20 people in the parking lot on Nov. 3. Thirteen completed the survey, which is not scientific.
Phil Kirk, a police captain, said the survey was a community-oriented policing project undertaken by the officer. Community-oriented policing involves a police department that takes input in its crime-fighting efforts.
Recommended Stories For You
The officer did not ask for the names of the people who completed the survey, Kirk said. He said the officer anticipates continuing to conduct the survey for an undetermined period of time.
"He can better come up with responses and deploying his resources," Kirk said.
According to Kirk, some of the responses to the officer's survey question about problems in the neighborhood included:
Three people said there were no criminal problems, he said.
The people who completed the survey, meanwhile, indicated they would like more officers on patrol, including late at night. They said they would like the officers more visible as well.
The responses about problems in the neighborhood closely resemble many of the complaints lodged with the Police Department over the years. Police logs frequently include entries involving graffiti, loud music and thefts. Stolen bicycles are also a long-running problem in Park City.
Kirk said the responses were not surprising and the police were aware of the issues beforehand.
"I'm glad that's the case. We seem to be on the same page," he said.

Toshiba intros CULV satellites
Notebook-not-netbook line launched
Not much bigger than netbooks, Toshiba's new Satellite laptops show just how the once well-segmented notebook market is now just a single continuum.
Launching the Satellite T110, T130 and Satellite Pro T130 this morning - though none of them will ship until late October, after the debut of Windows 7 - Toshiba executives insisted the machines were proper notebooks not netbooks, despite the fact that the T110 has an 11.6in screen and a single-core budget processor.
Toshiba's Satellite T110: netbook size, notebook internals
The T110 comes with either a Pentium or Celeron CPU, up to 3GB of DDR 3 memory, a 250GB hard drive, 802.11n Wi-Fi, three USB ports and an HDMI connector.
The T130 ups the screen size to 13.3in - both displays have a 1366 x 768 resolution - and the disk capacity to 500GB. Neither machine has an optical drive, but they do have a rather nice looking slimline plastic casing spoiled only by a bulky battery which is cleverly kept well away from the sides of the machines so as not to appear in photographs.
That said, since the power packs grant the two machines up to nine and eleven hours' single-charge runtime, Toshiba claimed, that's a small price to pay. And neither battery pokes out as far as most netbook extended-run equivalents do.
The T130 ups the display to 13 inches
All three are based on what Intel calls its Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage (CULV) platform, though the we'd note that the word 'consumer' and the phrase 'ultra-low voltage' don't really coincide.
Prices will start at £429. The Pro version will include Windows 7 Business Edition and a Core 2 Duo processor option. ®

Pavlyuchenkova, Suarez Navarro among QF winners in Portugal
Oeiras, Portugal – Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia and Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro were among the quarterfinal winners Thursday at the Portugal Open.
The third-seeded Pavlyuchenkova outlasted fellow Russian Elena Vesnina, 6-3, 6-7 (3-7), 7-6 (7-3) and will next take on Switzerland's Romina Oprandi, who pulled off a 6-2, 6-2 rout of Russian veteran Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Oprandi had never beaten Kuznetsova in three previous meetings, but on Thursday never faced a break point and finished off the two-time Grand Slam champion in a mere 64 minutes. Pavlyuchenkova, meanwhile, needed 2 hours and 46 minutes to beat the seventh-seeded Vesnina.
Suarez Navarro, the fourth seed, thumped Puerto Rico's Monica Puig, 6-2, 6-4, to set up a semifinal against Estonia's Kaia Kanepi, a 6-4, 6-3 winner over Japanese veteran Ayumi Morita.
Kanepi beat Suarez Navarro in last year's final when the tournament was played in Estoril.
This week's champion will pocket $42,000.

Deranged replied to JPL's topic in Classic FordHi, only just found this site so apologies for the very late reply! I hope that you have resolved your problems by now but, if not, I MAY be able to help if I can stir the old grey matter effectively! I used to build competitive FF engines in the distant past. We used to put an enormaous amount of effort into building competitive engines, lots of small permitted changes added up to quite a lot. Unfortunately there is a lot of duff information out there, particularly with regard to the power output of a competitive engine. All our engines were run-in and set up on the engine dyno, which was regularly calibrated, and power output corrected to the DIN standard to take account of varying atmospheric conditions. A really quick winning engine produces around 100 BHPc and anything from 98 up will be competitive. Last time I built a 1600FF engine was way back in 1995 for classic FF. Came off the dyno with just over 98 BHPc and won lots of races, strangely enough always beating the cars with their supposed 110 bhp. I love the old racing expression "When the flag drops the bullshit stops" Anyway, carb mods... the biggest problem to overcome is getting the thing to work when coming out of corners. The carb works fine in a road car, but a single seater generates much greater G forces and the fuel in the float chamber goes all over the place. There were many ways of overcoming this and the "anti-surge" pipes were the most popular. Float weight is also very important. Have fun D
