Serve sprinkled with the snipped chives.Shona Crawford Poole on a gilt trip. Photograph by Charlie Stebbings Let’s face it, gilding gingerbread isn’t one of life’s priorities. It’s showy, vulgar, and the whole point in doing it is swank But Yuletide was never the season of good taste. Swagger and excess defineit now as they have done since long before the nativity had anything to do with our big, midwinter beano.While worthier souls than me are out carolling for church or charity, I can be found in a sweet-scented fug of ginger, cinnamon and woodsmoke with just a whiff of old fat from the heating oven to intrude on the domestic idyll. Spooning out spices for another batch of gilded gingerbread stars to decorate the tree is as pleasing a ritual as the season offers.Our household’s gilded stars tradition began with an elaborate Swedish gingerbread house called a pepparkaksstuga. It was a never-to-be-repeated construction project for a book about what I described in an application for a British Library reader’s ticket as “the culinary traditions of the major Christian festivals”.

Well, asking to look up Christmas recipes in that august institution’s treasured volumes seemed too flimsy an excuse to justify access.Through this I learned that pepparkskustuga dough is formulated for stability. It doesn’t spread or shrink in the oven, and bakes so hard that its edibility is mainly theoretical But that is with hindsight. On the recipe-testing day there was rather a lot of the unbaked mixture left over, so being Mrs Waste-Not-Want-Not, I dug out the biscuit cutters to fashion a tray of stars in assorted sizes. However sweet, a ships’ biscuit isn’t much fun to eat, so I painted them with egg white, pressed on gold leaf, and that was the first year the Christmas tree hung with golden stars suspended on loops of golden thread. And the spices mingled agreeably with the scent of pine needles.Come twelfth night, it did not seem propitious to throw out stars burnished with real gold, so I packed them away, and brought them out, still-scented, the following year.

Now the collection grows with a new batch every winter, the tinsel and baubles are left to moulder in the loft, and the tree wears only white lights and golden gingerbread stars. It is in excruciatingly good taste, a perfect example of minimalist swank, damned silly and quite lovely.It was ever thus. Gilding gingerbread and other festive foodstuffs goes back a very long way. The beaks and combs of peacocks – never judged good eating, even in their medieval-heyday – were gilded for the best banquets and the plumage, removed with the skin attached before the birds were roasted, was re-united with the flesh in “a lifelike manner” before being sent to table.Our forebears’ feasts were more fabulous than the spit-roasted ox images of Hollywood drama allow Gilding crops up repeatedly. Spanish Candy, a confection of sugar, violets, cowslips, apples and musk was cut in wedges which were gilded and boxed to keep for a year or more.Gilding, whether of food, furniture or figureheads, requires gold leaf made from gold beaten thinner than the finest tissue paper. Even gossamer gold leaf is costly, so dishes decorated with it have never been cheap.

In the mid-16th century, when imported luxuries such as almonds and currants cost two pence a pound, the gold leaf sold for gilding pills and pastries was sixteen pence for a quarter of an ounce.Showiest of all the “banquetting stuffes” was marchpane, predecessor of marzipan, and the star of Tudor banqueting tables. Up to three pounds of almonds went into a single, shallow tart of marchpane, which was iced with expensive sugar, embellished with moulded sugar decorations, and, as often as not, gilded, too. Christmas cake with its thick layer of marzipan, lavish icing and gaudy sugar decorations is the true successor of marchpane.Gingerbread has probably had the longest innings as a gilded foodstuff. Medieval gingerbread was not so much a cake, or even a bread, as a tough slab of spiced honey thickened with flour. The spice and sweetness marked it as special, as did the practice of decorating it with gold. Gilded box-leaves pinned with gilded cloves in a pattern of fleurs-de-lis were among the heraldic decorations described as resembling the tooled leather of cuir-bouilli armour.In 17th-century slang, gingerbread was a word for money; to have gingerbread meant to be rich. Rub the gilt of the gingerbread and what have you got? A plain, brown, everyday sort of cake to be sure, but also a thing of lesser worth, a broken illusion.

Mr Flounders is now on holiday, no doubt exhausted by the barrage of puns from every caller.More names and destinies – this time an associate director in Baring Brothers’ sterling bond department, whose career path was mapped in heaven: Peter Lovibond.Is this the acceptable face of debt-collection? Intrum Justitia, Europe’s biggest debt-collection company, is sponsoring (to the tune of pounds 3m) a yacht competing in the 1993-94 Whitbread Round the World race. In a test case ruling, three Court of Appeal judges decided that 13 out of 16 representative claimants were barred from seeking damages against Eli Lilly, the pharmaceuticals company, because their actions were launched too late.The claimants, mostly elderly arthritis sufferers, allege they suffered long-term or even permanent side effects as a result of taking Opren, which was withdrawn world-wide in the summer of 1982.Its side effects included persistent photosensitivity – a severe and often painful reaction of the skin to sunlight.The claimants involved in yesterday’s ruling were representative of hundreds – all of whom launched their actions too late to share in a pounds 2.2m out-of-court settlement paid to 1,200 people by Eli Lilly in 1987.Lord Justice Purchas, sitting with Lord Justice Ralph Gibson and Lord Justice Mann, dismissed appeals by 13 claimants against rulings by Mr Justice Hidden in January 1991 and March 1992 that their claims were ’statute barred’ under the 1980 Limitation Act.People wishing to sue for damages for personal injuries have three years in which to start an action, running from the time when they can first be said to have sufficient knowledge of their injury.The Court of Appeal judges ruled that three of the 16 claimants should be given the go-ahead to pursue their damages claims.. Scarantino, a convicted criminal with family connections to a drug-trafficking Mafia clan, is believed to have packed some 80kg (176lb) of explosives into a stolen Fiat 126 which blew up on 19 July outside the block of flats where Judge Borsellino was visiting his mother. But no fundamental reform of the constituencies has been undertaken, which often means a rural constituent’s vote is equal to around three votes in an urban area.But time is running out for the LDP. The season has not been kind to Dooley and perhaps the selectors will consider this to be a tour too far for one of the finest forwards of his time.The danger in taking Dooley is that if, as many suspect, his time is up, this tour would only accelerate the downward slide, which would be sad for the player and calamitous for the team. As a result of its heritage of militancy, the PAC believes that no deal is possible with South Africa’s white rulers It argues that the majority must rule without qualification.

‘British girls still have a reputation for being very free and easy, second only to the Scandinavians,’ she says. ‘In the end, the merchandise speaks for itself.’Designer labels, he says, were a thing of the Eighties. But it didn’t deserve its instant box-office death in America – unlike The Concierge (PG), a lame comedy about a hotel desk clerk that even Michael J Fox and Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of the Addams Family films, can’t rescue.Mario van Peebles’ Posse (15) is inspired by the interesting fact that one-third of cowboys were black (many enfranchised slaves headed West). An outsider standing on the pavement might think the street was empty.

Not for that coffee, but for the bountiful fresh eggs and the crisp toast, the breakfast steak and that vanished delight, creamed chipped beef on toast. The third lecture, ‘Little angels, little devils: keeping childhood innocent’ will be broadcast on Wednesday 9 February on Radio 4 at 8.45pm and will appear in the Independent the following day.(Photographs omitted). John Steinbrummer, Director of Foreign Policy Research at the Brookings Institution in Washington, believes that we need a new doctrine that recognises this. Who knows how the postscript will read later this week?BULGARIA (1-4-3-2): Mihailov (Mulhouse); Hubchev (Levski Sofia); Kiryakov (Lerida), Ivanov (Neuchatel Xamax), Zvetanov, Yankov (both Levski Sofia); Lechkov (Hamburg), Balakov (Sporting Lisbon), Sirakov (Levski Sofia); Kostadinov (Porto), Stoichkov (Barcelona).

His doctors said his condition was not serious enough to merit treatment by chemotherapy, which is usually debilitating.What effect the news of Mr Mitterrand’s illness will have on Maastricht voting intentions is a matter for speculation, since opinion polls cannot by law be published in the last week of a voting campaign. ‘And? What’s your point?’Twenty years ago fictional policemen – like these in BBC 1’s Between the Lines – didn’t say that sort of thing on television. ‘Such a relaxation would be an important contribution to sustaining the strength of the ITV network and the integrity of British broadcasting and production.’Carlton owns Carlton TV, which takes over the Thames franchise on 1 January.It also has 20 per cent stakes in GMTV, the new breakfast broadcaster, and Central Independent TV. What it was trying to retrieve was equipment it had had there for years.The land boundary line between Kuwait and Iraq which the Iraqis crossed on Sunday and again yesterday dates back to 1951. It is often very hard to contradict.’Mandy Johns, the woman at the centre of the case, broke her anonymity when she went on television on Tuesday to reveal how she had written to the judge asking him what right he had to make such statements.

But the media were keen to dig deeper and discover what was really pulling the strings behind the romantic drama. He will not get away with a similar performance at Guildhall tonight.But, by God, it worked. PRESIDENT Boris Yeltsin yesterday attacked the Russian parliament for laying claim to the Ukrainian naval port of Sevastopol, and Ukraine’s ambassador to Moscow compared the move to the shot that started the First World War. Barring developments which no one seriously expects, it never will be But, like Watergate, it is a largely self-inflicted mess. It stems from the desire to defend funds in a tightening budgetary climate, that would have been under greater threat had the body still been avowed not to exist.There is no suggestion that the public will know any more about the future operations of MI6, nor about the personality of the chief, beyond his name.MI6 agents are trained to commit acts that are frequently technically illegal – including on the soil of friendly countries (though this does not include a licence to kill) It would be difficult to expect MPs to endorse that openly.

The Deluxe kit costs US$499 and theStandard entry-level kit costs US$299.

Pricing and AvailabilityDiscera`s Dragonfly Programmer is available now. Each Dragonfly Deluxe kitincludes one programmer, two socket adapters, USB cable, tweezers, 200 DSC8002programmable blanks and installation CD-ROM. According to a leading research firm, the market for MEMS oscillators isexpected to grow at more 100% per annum through 2013 as this new technologyrapidly expands its share of the $3 billion global frequency control market. Practically impervious to shock, vibration and fractures thatcan damage crystal parts, MEMS oscillators now cost 20% less than comparablecrystal oscillators and boast production quantity lead-times of one to threeweeks. Discera offers MEMS oscillators in a wide range of operating voltages,temperature ranges, package footprints and frequencies from 1 MHz to 150 MHz.

Discera`s newDragonfly programmer demonstrates that MEMS oscillators can also enhance thedesign experience itself,” said Kevin Keefer, Discera`s Marketing Manager,Programmable Products. “With MEMS oscillators, engineers can pick-a-frequency tooptimize system performance at the very end of the design cycle. Don`t try thiswith your father`s crystal oscillator.” Wide Range of MEMS OscillatorsDiscera`s PureSilicon MEMS oscillators are pin-compatible with popular crystaloscillators and have low operating power specs (4mA typ at 40MHz, and just 1uAin standby mode). “MEMS oscillators have significant cost and reliability advantages overtraditional crystal parts over an extended temperature range. Engineers can alsoexperimentally suppress interference from troublesome harmonics by easilytweaking system clock frequencies. With the Dragonfly`s easy to use GUIinterface that installs on any Windows-based PC, designs using custom frequencyoscillators can begin production immediately, without the special ordering andlengthy lead-times that crystal oscillators normally require. With a Dragonfly handheld programmer, engineers can instantly modify theoscillator frequencies for their new designs, optimizing performance orverifying reliability by up-clocking systems 5% or 10%.

Used in conjunction with Discera`s programmable DSC8002MEMS oscillators, the DragonflyTM allows designers to modify oscillatorfrequencies from 1 MHz to 150 MHz in real-time for system verification andoptimization in the lab or in the field.

Fans just getting acquainted with the game, the ones MLS needs to survive and grow, won’t understand why their teamsaren’t playing in the top division.Most US sports fans can’t conceive of the idea, for instance, if Atlanta were to be dropped from the NFL to say arena league football since they were the worst, people would go crazy. The whole landscape would benefit from added competition up and down the board.This will never happen though for several reasons, at least not yet. The fanfare and Americanized sport played in MLS is the only sort of bridge that can pull in new fans.The trading and the drafting are a bit awkward, and make for limited pools of talent for the teams to utilize year in and year out. Having to give up players to gain new ones is never going to allow a team to focus on stable progress.The recent introduction of a development academy for teams is a great idea, but it’s pointless if drafted talentsupersedes the club’s home-grown players.The idea of a playoff and an east and west division is hard to follow, especially when you are familiar with a single table like in Europe. Once a team has been knocked out of contention for the playoffs, the rest is just a dull affair with nothing to play for.I would be in full support of merging MLS with USL to create a tiered Football League with relegation and everything. Soccer is a contact sport, but it is also a game of subtlety.The subtlety is lost on people who enjoying watching hard-hitting tackles or constant scoring.

Yet, in my mind to take it away signals the death knell to the MLS.The general sport viewing populace doesn’t understand the sport; if they did it would be a big deal in this country. Again, as a Euro snob I’d have to agree with him, it’s what pushes me away form the game played here in the States. I’m an American who grew up living and breathing the game of Soccer, or as I like to say, real Football.I’m a Euro snob, and I have nothing but disdain for the game played by the MLS. It’s slower, not as technical, and much uglier than the game played across the pond. There is just one little thing:I want nothing else than for MLS to succeed.I was reading the article written by Scott Macha about a new direction for the MLS and taking away the Americanized aspects of the game. “I’m not Mandela, but I say if you haven’t found a cause for which you are ready to die, you haven’t found meaning in your life.”(Editing by David Clarke, Tim Pearce and Jan Paschal) Congo.

Behind all the talk about Roger Federer’s recent slump, and Rafael Nadal and Jelena Jankovic’s climbs towards No. 1, is a story that few people care enough to know.In tennis, there is dominance. Federer was almost the picture of it for nearly four years, from 2004 to 2007, winning 11 of the 16 grand-slam tournaments over that time period, making the finals of the latter 14.

But in reality, he was second best.Federer’s accomplishments on paper are shadowed by those of Esther Vergeer, a disabled 27-year old from the Netherlands. Since the end of January 2003, Vergeer has won 340 consecutive wheelchair women’s singles matches.In fact, at one point, she went 26 months without even dropping a set, a string of 120 matches and 240 sets.But you probably have not heard of Vergeer. Unless you have gone to the tournaments where she competes, you definitely have not seen her play. You think ESPN is going to broadcast wheelchair tennis?But there Vergeer has been, dominating her sport unlike anyone before her. Wheelchair tennis players frequently compete at the top level into their 40s, allowing for a staying power that just doesn’t exist in most other sports.Wheelchair tennis is almost identical to regular, mainstream tennis, but there is one significant difference: the ball is allowed to bounce twice before it is returned.Only the first bounce must land in the prescribed area of the court. If the first bounce is ruled in and the second bounce is out, the ball is still in play unless it bounces a third time.But none of that diminishes what Vergeer has done.What does attempt to diminish it is how little prize money she receives for all her success.Vergeer, who has won 130 career titles in singles and 116 in doubles, receives about $1500 for each championship, not nearly enough to survive, let alone prosper.And she wins almost every tournament she enters, occasionally suffering a defeat in doubles.”Prize money alone is not enough,” Vergeer told talkabouttennis in 2007.

“Winning a tournament earns me between $1000 and $1500, so I really need sponsorship money. I still live with my parents at the moment, so I manage to make ends meet. Next year, however, I’m moving out to live on my own, and I’m not sure how much money that will leave me with”Seven years of being the unquestionable top professional in her field and she was still living with her parents just to get by.That’s a shame.Vergeer plans to keep going at least through the 2008 Paralympic games, practicing four times a week and conditioning semi-weekly, and will probably continue beyond that. And although it is somewhat clich?Vergeer aspires to be like Lance Armstrong.”There are people I admire, like Lance Armstrong,” she said in the same interview. “People who, in spite of whatever setbacks they’re faced with, don’t let things get them down.
