Beating the Heating Bill . The aging brick rowhouse in Petworth was far from a model of energy efficiency. Exterior doors had gaps around them -- in one case so large that sunlight streamed in from around the edges. Cold air penetrated the uninsulated walls of the laundry room and seeped in around the edges of a skylight. By Justin Blum. [washingtonpost.com - Business] 6:00:26 PM    comment []

Visit Austria this winter: It's the spectacular, snowcapped mountains of regions like the Tyrol that provide the most familiar images of Austria - a landscape of jagged peaks and rampaging rivers, giving way to green pastures studded with onion-domed churches. Yet Austria is by no means all alpine vistas: the country stretches across central Europe for some 700km, from the shores of the Bodensee in the west to the edge of the flat Hungarian plain in the east. Far removed from the archetype are the wetlands and reed beds of Burgenland, and the dramatic sequence of stopes that carve their way up the Erzberg in Styria. In Upper and Lower Austria in particular, a predominantly low-key landscape of gentle rolling hills and vineyards can come as something of a surprise to first-time visitors. Yet this fertile, low-lying northern half of the country is, in fact, where the majority of Austrians live and work, many of them within commuting distance of the capital, Vienna - the country's chief tourist destination after the alpine regions.
