Since Gilligan (1982) established the theory of moral development, feminist psychologists have provided some interesting analysis to show, not whether morality is essentially gendered, but rather, how morality can be invoked to warrant gendered complaints (Muntigl and Turnbull, 1998). For example Stokoe (2003) demonstrated, from interview transcripts of neighbour's disputes, how female categories such as 'mothers, 'single women' and 'sluts' were made relevant (both explicitly and implicitly) in order to judge each other's moral behaviour (Stokoe, 2003:320). In the following extract from The Sunday Mail's exclusive interview with the dismissed Yeoman, I will suggest that much of the Yeoman's warrant for unfair dismissal rests on invoking his former female colleagues status as a 'single woman'. Consider the following extract in which the Beefeater describes the appointment of the first female Yeoman.
'What concerned me most, and what caused apprehension and shock among the wives of the Beefeaters, was that she was single.…I have seen a lot of very good friends' marriages go down the pan in the Army, not because they have done anything, but because other people perceive they have done something…It is not difficult to see the potential for trouble in employing a single woman. Naturally there was some ribald speculation as to what she might look like and whether she would wear high heels with her scarlet tunic'.
In this extract the Beefeater constructs an interpretative frame within which to interpret her appointment. Notice that he deploys the category 'single woman'. Such a categorisation carries with it a host of inferences that can be traded on, and made available, as a stock of common-sense knowledge about 'single women' e.g. being sexually available. However, this alone is not sufficient to provide an immoral account of her. One way in which this can be achieved is by implying that certain types of 'single women' are immoral based on their activities (Wowk, 1984). Since gender relations are managed by the norms of monogamy, women (but not men) who are perceived to be a threat to this rule can be held morally accountable. Although the Beefeater does not explicitly state that she was 'sexually overt', she is positioned as such through speculation of 'whether she would wear high heels with her scarlet tunic' and as a potential cause marital problems for male colleagues. In this way then, the female Yeoman's 'single woman' status is linked to immorality.

I stumbled across an interesting news story this weekend that detailed a 13 year old Korean American's ambitious goal to restore peace between North and South Korea. His name is Jonathan Lee, and he is the founder of I.C.E.Y. H.O.P.E., a youth humanitarian environmental group that seeks to convince North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il to plant a children's peace force in the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas. Lee says, "What I would really like, if possible, like maybe the children from both countries could be able to meet and play with each other. Like a big playground."
The contact hypothesis predicts that Lee's efforts should result in at least some success. In general, the contact hypothesis suggests that interpersonal contact is the most effective way of reducing biases among conflicting groups (Wagner, Tropp, Finchilescu, & Tredoux, 2008). And although Lee's efforts are geared toward children who may not yet have developed these biases, positive benefits may be seen in the unprejudiced views of these children as they age, as well as the views of watchful Korean nationals who observe this contact. However, for contact to truly be effective, research tells us that it must occur amid certain conditions. First, contact must be between equal status groups. If one country's children are treated as subordinate to those of the other country, contact is unlikely to yield positive outcomes. Second, the two groups must share common goals. For children, one common goal may be as simple as having fun. For adults, these goals may revolve around reducing tensions among North and South Koreans in later generations. Third, intergroup cooperation must be present. For efforts at peace to be effective, cooperation on both sides of the Koreas is necessary. Fourth, authorities, law, or custom must support this intergroup contact. For Lee's ambitious goals to stand a chance, both North and South Korean leaders must support his attempts.
The results of Lee's efforts remain to be seen. Yet, the consistency of these efforts with the contact hypothesis gives us reason to be hopeful. Peace between North and South Korea still remains possible.

DEXTER Competition its what General Brown Central School District, and other rural schools throughout the state, have working against them to fill science teaching positions.
The pool of qualified science teachers available in rural areas, particularly for physics, is decreasing for two reasons: affluent districts often offer a higher salary, and other physics-related career fields that require a masters degree pay more than what teachers make, according to Carl D. Korn, spokesman for New York State United Teachers, a federation of more than 1,200 unions in the state.
Districts like General Brown and others in the north country when theyre looking for physics teachers, theyre not just in competition with other districts; theyre in competition with the private sector, Mr. Korn said. Add to that now were talking about a half-time position. The pool of professionals with physics degrees looking for part-time work in the north country is going to be pretty small. Unfortunately, what we see more of is districts eliminating positions entirely.
He was right. A local and statewide search for a part-time physics teacher for General Brown resulted in only two applicants. One person was offered the job, but declined. The district recently scaled back the position from full-time, in an effort to cut costs as it heads toward financial insolvency.
Fifty students were registered for the course, but when school starts today they will be taking a different science course to help them achieve their advanced Regents diploma for graduation.
Mr. Korn said part-time employment always has been offered throughout the state, and many districts have shared positions with other schools to create full-time employment for people. For that to work, another local district also would have had to be looking for a part-time physics teacher. That was not the case.
Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services Superintendent Jack J. Boak said hes recently seen an uptick in local school districts opting for part-time teachers, which is a rather new phenomenon for us.
Many school districts, particularly rural ones such as General Brown, face educational insolvency because they also face financial insolvency. A 2012 consultation report showed General Brown may be broke by 2015, but it has the ability as do other districts to overcome some financial strife by putting a budget that includes a tax levy increase higher than the state tax cap up for vote by district residents.
Increased taxation to save programs may be a solution, but General Brown voters proved this spring it was not the answer they were looking for. A 9.9 percent increase in its tax levy, well above its tax cap of 5.38 percent, was voted down 806-580. If 26 people who voted no had voted yes instead, that large increase would have passed, as it would have met the minimum 60 percent approval required to pass a tax levy increase above the tax cap.
The end result is slashing programs.
With about 700 school districts throughout the state, Mr. Korn said, it would be difficult to track the number of full-time positions that have been reduced to half-time or part-time.
Part-time is very difficult, Mr. Boak said. If a job is part-time and youre a certified physics teacher, youll get a full-time job. There is a recruiting service many of our districts participate in, and what BOCES does is gather vacancies from districts throughout the state. Thats a good indication of the extent of the shortages because it is statewide.
Mr. Boak said General Brown was the only one of its 18 component school districts to request a part-time science teacher.

Submission Twitter-shaming can cost you your job - whether you're giving or receiving->
tsamsoniw writes: "Hoping to strike a blow against sexism in the tech industry, developer and tech evangelist Adria Richards took to Twitter to complain about two male developers swapping purportedly offensive jokes at PyCon. The decision has set into motion a chain of events that illustrate the impact a tweet or two can make in this age of social networking: One the developers and Richards have since lost their jobs, and even the chair of PyCon has been harassed for his minor role in the incident."

Lynne Jordan Horoschak
Art Education
Moore College of Art & Design's Graduate Program
Lynne Jordan Horoschak was born in Allentown, PA in 1943. She grew up in an area where there were not many opportunities to attend cultural events, but, somehow, her parents instilled in her an appreciation for the arts. Although her parents were not artistic, they were creative - enjoying gardening, sewing, and cooking. Her mother was a great influence on her life in many ways, as well as other women, like Barbara Weisburger, the founder of the Pennsylvania Ballet. She took private art lessons for several years because there were no art classes in her high school.
At 17, Lynne went to Holland as an exchange student and attended an art school there. She was accepted to Moore and intended to be a fashion illustrator. In the summer of her sophomore year, she got a job with the YWCA of New York City in the Catskills as an art teacher. This was a turning point in her life. George Sklar, her mentor at Moore, encouraged her to become an art teacher. As an undergraduate at Moore, she was on student council and residents' council, where she was given leadership opportunities. She thinks being at an all women's college empowers the students.
Her first job out of college was as an art teacher at a North Philadelphia elementary school. Her art room became a sanctuary for the students. Although her job was not specifically to teach children with special needs, she always had an interest in doing so. At the time, there was no curriculum specific to teaching art to special needs populations.
The second school where she taught, Loesche Elementary, became very committed to bringing special needs children to the school, so Lynne had a lot of on-the-job experience. Lynne believes that every person is creative and teaching art is about getting children in touch with their creativity; art changes lives.
In 1993, Lynne was asked to teach an art methods course at Moore, while she was still teaching fulltime at Loesche. In 1996, she designed and taught the first course at Moore that focused on teaching art to children with special needs. This is a required class for all art education majors. One of the main points of the class is that teachers must know the children in order to adapt the teaching style to the child. This applies to all children – not just those with special needs. What is unique about this class is that it is not just theory – the children actually came to the class and worked with the art education majors. She says some graduates get hired specifically because of their experience working with special needs children. Lynne recognizes that no matter where students ultimately teach, they are going to be working with children with special needs, so she wants her students to be prepared.
Lynne is now developing a graduate program at Moore called a Masters in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Needs. Nothing like this exists elsewhere in the country.
Her hope is that the graduates of the program will be so motivated that they will make an impact on how children with disabilities are taught through the arts.
Lynne was nominated for the George Bartol Arts in Education Fellowship by one of her mentors at Tyler School of Art. The award recognizes a person who uses the arts in innovative and creative ways. As a result of the award, a booklet, "Lessons from an Art Teacher," was published on her work.
Lynne received the Distinguished Alumnae Award from Moore in 1999.
Lynne has spent almost a lifetime at Moore – from being an undergrad, to teaching part time, to chairing the department, and now starting a new graduate program. "You put into (Moore) whatever you want, and you get it back four-fold. It's a great place to be."
Lynne is also an exhibiting oil painter. Her work is an expression of her emotions and spirituality.

Rangers @ Red Wings
Joe Louis Arena, 7:30 Monday night
Rangers record: 29-22-4
Red Wings record: 31-15-6
Coach John Tortorella might be calm about the Rangers
four-game losing streak, but a growing sense of dread has taken hold of the
Rangers fan base.
After a memorable first half, the hard-working Rangers have
struggled to find positive results lately, and the problems with the team have
become even more glaring. The effort is
still there, but the bounces are no longer going the Blueshirts' way. Making matters worse, Henrik Lundqvist has
been shaky at best since the All Star break, Marian Gaborik's offense is still
non-existent, and the power play has been completely ineffective. New
York has fallen into seventh place in the Eastern
Conference and is now only four points ahead of the ninth place Atlanta
Thrashers. Worse still, the Rangers have
a brutal schedule this month with very few "gimme" games.
It will take the handful of Rangers that just returned from
injury a couple weeks to re-find their rhythms, but they haven't been the
problem. Perhaps this is just a stretch
of adversity for a team that saw most things go its way through the first 40
games of the year on the ice, but the issues facing this team may not be so
easy to fix. Gaborik has shown few signs
of life and the power play has been a season-long issue. The Rangers are so desperate to fix it that
they've reportedly been scouting Sheldon Souray.
The biggest thing that can help is for Lundqvist to break
out of his rut. He'll likely return to
form shortly, but the soft goals he's given up all year has been a major
problem for the team. While the Rangers
struggle to convert offensively, they need their goalie at the top of his game
more than ever. Lundqvist hasn't been
depended upon this year as much as in the past, but now's the time that he
needs to step up and carry the team as he has in the past.
None of these problems will be easily solved against the
Detroit Red Wings tomorrow night. The
collection of veterans seems like it should have fallen off by now, but every
year Detroit is
at or near the top of the Western Conference standings. This year is no different, as the Red Wings
are second in the West despite losing two games in a row. The crew of Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg,
Johan Franzen, and company continue to produce offensively, but the Red Wings
have received poor goaltending from Jimmy Howard lately. If the Rangers are to beat the Wings, they'll
need to take advantage of the Red Wing' weak netminder. If not, Detroit
will have no problem extending the Rangers' losing streak to five games, and
panic time may truly be upon us.

Youth pheasant hunts to take place in fall
A chance to hunt ring-necked pheasants with other young hunters awaits 12 to 15 year olds who sign up for one of five special youth pheasant hunts this fall.
"We're holding these hunts to increase the interest young people have in upland game hunting and wildlife conservation," said Dean Mitchell, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
All that recent 12- to 15-year-old Hunter Education course graduates have to do is complete an application and write a one-paragraph essay on:
"I want to continue the Utah upland game hunting tradition because... " or, "I would like to start my own upland game hunting tradition because..."
Completed applications and essays must be postmarked on or before Sept. 7 to be considered for one of the hunts.

Open Consultation on the European Tourism Label for Quality Systems Initiative Zveřejněno:: 13/04/2012, Poslední aktualizace: 30/07/2012
- Konečný termín:
- 13/07/2012.
Currently there is a wide variety of public and private initiatives that aim at defining the principles and criteria to be used by European tourism stakeholders for ensuring the development and provision of quality tourism within the EU.
However, these quality systems often show little consistency and coordination as they usually focus on individual sectoral or territorial objectives without following a European integrated approach.
This fragmentation is a possible obstacle to achieving a EU level playing field for providing high-quality tourism service throughout Europe, which is likely to cause detriment to the competitiveness of the European tourism sector.
The objective of this public consultation is to obtain the views of a wide circle of public and private stakeholders and individuals on a possible EU action in this field [...]

John and Mary Ann Meyer
When you ask John and Mary Ann Meyer about their involvement with Ringling College of Art and Design and the Sarasota Museum of Art (SMOA), they answer in unison, "We feel lucky!"
John and Mary Ann learned about SMOA and the idea to create a modern and contemporary art museum in Sarasota from their friend Linda Dickinson and SMOA president Wendy Surkis. As avid contemporary art collectors, they embraced the concept from the beginning.
"We believe SMOA will be great for the community," says John. Mary Ann adds, "We appreciate the multi-purpose aspect of SMOA; there will be learning about art, appreciating art and creating art all happening at the same time in the same place. And saving an historic Sarasota building is important."
John is a member of the SMOA board and together he and Mary Ann have worked tirelessly to help raise the funds necessary to create the museum.
As generous early donors, they set an example for others to follow. Their initial $100,000 gift was designated toward the SMOA endowment. "We want SMOA to be ready to have programming once the building is completed," says Mary Ann. "That's why we gave to the endowment and that's why the SMOA board's fundraising goals include raising funds for a sufficient endowment."
Over the years, John and Mary Ann's enthusiasm and commitment to SMOA and Ringling has continued to grow. They made an additional investment in SMOA, bringing their total giving to $250,000. For their generosity, the building's elevator will be named in their honor.
The Meyers have been as generous with their time as with their financial support. They have spent countless hours as SMOA volunteers helping with events and outreach. Last year, they extended their generosity by agreeing to serve as co-chairs of Ringling College's premier scholarship fundraising event, "An Evening at the Avant-Garde." Through their efforts and leadership, more than 400 people enjoyed a spectacular night on the Ringling campus and $125,000 was raised for student scholarships.
Participating in the selection of student Curtis Anderson (Advertising Design '12) as the 2011 Avant-Garde Endowed Scholarship recipient and meeting the incredible students who applied for the award was a highlight of their experience as event chairs. The scholarship was created by Ringling trustee Susan Palmer from the proceeds of Avant-Garde 2008. It is awarded each year to a student who has given extraordinary service to Ringling College.
According to John and Mary Ann, "The most satisfying thing about our relationship with SMOA and Ringling has been seeing the progress toward fully realizing the museum. Our relationships with the members of the SMOA board and all of the people at Ringling have been wonderful. We are lucky to have Ringling College in our community."
Ringling president, Dr. Larry R. Thompson, is just as thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with John and Mary Ann Meyer. "We are very fortunate to have John and Mary Ann Meyer as members of the Ringling College/SMOA community," he says.

The football season, as all things must, has come to an end. (That's the college football season, of course. Professional football never ends.)
Our scholar-athletes, of whom we are so justly proud, have labored mightily through the fall and early winter and we now know who the best team is---the best five teams, anyway.
On the other hand, who cares? With the exception of the dedicated fans of the schools involved, nobody gives a hoot. Oh, I know, there are those poor souls who call into "sports talk radio" shows and argue about this team or that, but they're hardly representative of your average person.
The fact is, the football establishment has screwed up post-season college football about as bad as it can be screwed up. They've managed to arrive at a system that produces one terribly one-sided track meet after another.
The geniuses who run the sports-entertainment establishment think the way to solve this is by establishing a playoff system that would engage the best teams in a month-long tournament, at the end of which we'd have a "true national champion." Which would be the only way things could be made worse. I look for it to happen.
There are two things to be said about a playoff system to determine the best college team. It wouldn't necessarily determine the best team; it would merely seem to. Injuries and luck play such a big role in college football that the same two teams could play two weeks in a row and achieve vastly different results.
Isn't the season long enough already? Teams start playing in August (often before their schools are in session) and continue into December and January---11, 12, 13 games to a season. Do you really want more college football? If you do, you should strongly consider getting a life.
You'll notice that I did not say playoffs were a bad idea because it would keep players out of school. The idea that players at big-time football schools actually go to school in a meaningful way during the football season is a fiction at best.
This is particularly true of the schools that would provide most of the contending teams. If you have to have a national champion, let the Florida teams---Florida, Florida State and Miami---play each other, first team to two victories wins. In nine out of ten years, the best team in the nation would emerge anyway.
The bowl system used to be a pretty nice deal, actually. You'd have a pretty good Northern team pitted against a pretty good Southern team in most games. It gave the Northern fans an excuse for a nice winter vacation and Southerners a chance to see a nearby team whup the Yanks. At the conclusion you'd have a couple of - or sometimes several -- teams who could claim to be the best and the fans could argue about it. It was pleasant.
Television ruined all of that, as it ruins everything. It's bound and determined to make the college system into a somewhat younger version of the National Football League.
I know that it's been a while since college football was amateur and relatively innocent, but you hate to give up the last vestige of the boola-boola days.
The only good thing one can say about the recently completed bowl season was that Colorado was soundly beaten by the University of Oregon, thereby proving that, even in college football, having thugs and hoodlums on your side isn't enough.
You need a passing attack too.

Hindus Celebrate Holi In India
Hindu devotees play with color during Lathmaar Holi celebrations on... News PhotoCelebration,Color Image,Hinduism,Horizontal,Human Interest,India,Mathura City,Mathura District,People,Pilgrim,Religion,VillagePhotographer Daniel BerehulakCollection: Getty Images News 2013 Getty ImagesBARSANA, INDIA - MARCH 21: Hindu devotees play with color during Lathmaar Holi celebrations on March 21, 2013 in the village of Barsana, near Mathura, India. The tradition of playing with colours on Holi draws its roots from a legend of Radha and the Hindu God Krishna. It is believed that young Krishna was jealous of Radha's fair complexion since he himself was himself very dark. After questioning his mother Yashoda on the darkness of his complexion, Yashoda, teasingly asked him to colour Radha's face in which ever colour he wanted. In a mischievous mood, Krishna applied colour on Radha's face. The tradition of applying color on one's beloved is being religiously followed till date. (Photo by Daniel Berehulak/Getty Images)

Quad Cities returns to full power following scheduled refuel outage.
CORDOVA, Ill. —Operators returned Quad Cities Generating Station Unit 1 to full power Wednesday, marking the successful conclusion of the station's 22nd scheduled refueling outage.
Quad Cities Station Unit 1 was taken off line on Monday, March 11. The refuel outage was completed in 28 days.
During the outage, Exelon employees and highly skilled supplemental workers performed more than 12,000 activities, including extensive safety inspections and tests, along with numerous plant improvements.
Workers replaced one-third of the reactor's fuel, performed preventive maintenance activities and performed walkdowns and inspections of valves and power supply systems that could be needed in response to an earthquake or flood.
All the work and inspections are designed to enhance the Quad Cities Station's layers upon layers of operational strength and to ensure the facility's ability to provide clean, safe and reliable electricity for another two-year operating cycle.
"It takes a great deal of coordination and hard work to successfully disassemble, inspect, test and reassemble the reactor and associated equipment to ensure that this unit continues operating in a safe and reliable manner throughout the next operating cycle," said Tim Hanley, Quad Cities Station site vice president. More than 2,000 skilled workers from local union halls and technical experts from other Exelon Generation facilities supported Quad Cities' employees during the refueling outage. Quad Cities Unit 2 continued to operate at full power during the Unit 1 outage. Quad Cities Generating Station is located three miles north of Cordova, Ill. At full power, the facility's two generating units produce more than 2,200 megawatts around the clock, enough electricity for more than one million typical homes.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with 2012 revenues of approximately $23.5 billion. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is one of the largest competitive U.S. power generators, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

ASHA Basic Science Requirements
All students, regardless of your status in the program (Undergraduate, Extended Master, or Master), must fulfill the American Speech-Language Hearing Association's basic science coursework before graduating from our program. Many years ago, The Clinical Certification Board established this requirement to ensure that SLP professionals have a strong scientific foundation to support their work. As defined by the standards, each student must complete the following:
Category 1. A course in the Biological Sciences (e.g. Intro to Biology, Intro to Zoology ) or equivalent.
Category 2. A course in the Behavioral Sciences (e.g. Intro to Psychology, Intro to Sociology or any equivalent course in these disciplines.
Category 3. A course in the Physical Sciences (e.g. physics, chemistry, astronomy) or equivalent
Category 4. A course in Mathematical Sciences (this is fulfilled through our program requirement to take Math 95 (Statistics) or its equivalent)
California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) Requirement
Category 5. A class in child and adolescent development (satisfied by SJSU's ChAD 60, PSYC 102, or HS 15 - or any equivalent course from another university or community college)
This is requirement is necessary to obtain a credential which allows Speech-Language Pathologists to practice in school settings.
Many of you will find that you may already have taken classes in these categories as part of your general education requirements. If that is the case, you do not have to take them again. However, if you have neglected to complete any of these requirements, you must complete them before you are able to graduate from the program.
If you are an SJSU student in the CD&S undergraduate program and you are missing any of the classes listed above, you should plan on completing them at SJSU or a community college during your Senior year.
If you are an Extended Master's student or regular Master's student from another university, you may take these classes anytime and anyplace (e.g.: at a community college, during summer, during winter break, etc.). However, it is our strong advice to each student that you complete these classes before you enter the graduate program. Do so will ease your course load and allow you to focus on speech-language pathology courses and clinics.

Jane says...
If you like a lighter cake at Christmas, then my honey saffron cake is for you. It's still full of fruit and nuts but rather than being heavy with treacle and spice, there's golden sugar and delicate saffron, which shine through in the amber colour and scented flavour. Honey and saffron are natural partners so I've drenched it in a boozy honey syrup, too! You can repeat the soaking part of the recipe twice more if you want a more intense flavour.
- Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter and line a round, deep 20cm cake tin with two layers of baking parchment (see Knowhow, below). Tie a few sheets of newspaper around the outside of the tin, level with the top of the baking parchment.
- Heat the brandy in a small pan, then add the saffron and leave to infuse off the heat for a few mins. Put the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, ground almonds, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl, then beat together until creamy and smooth. Mix the fruit, nuts and brandy saffron mix into the batter and stir well.
- Spoon into the prepared tin, smooth the top and make a slight dip in the middle. Bake for 1½ hrs, then cover loosely with foil to stop the top over-browning. Turn oven down to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1 and cook for 1 hr more until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin then, while it's still warm, prod the cake all over with a skewer.
- Mix the brandy and honey together and spoon over the cake. Wrap up well in foil and keep in an airtight container until Christmas, feeding with more honeyed brandy every so often.

Comments, questions and tips
This will be my third year of making this cake. I love it. Whilst you can make it at the last minute I find making it 2 or 3 weeks ahead is great as I give it extra soakings with the honeyed brandy. As it is so easy I have also made it for Christmas Gifts. Lovely for older friends and family who do not need things andy more but find a good piece of cake very comforting.
I've baked this cake every year since it appeared in Good Food magazine in 2007. This year will be my 5th version and each one has been sublime!
I've found that it does take nearer to 4 hours to cook but that is never an issue for me. I guess that every oven is different. The smells that waft through the house as it cooks are very festive and instantly lift the spirits. I also soak it another couple of times and the result is a light and moist Christmas cake.
It is now as much a part of my family Christmas as mince pies and mulled wine.
I've given this cake a high rating as it went down a storm with my entire family. I won't be making it again this year though as I found the saffron a bit strong - personal taste. I had to cook it for an hour longer than the recipe suggested but it turned out well. I marzipaned & iced my cakel. Going to try the figgy christmas cake recipe this year :)
I've been making this cake for the past two Chrismas's and will be making it again this year.
I replace the cherries with dried prunes. It is the only Christmas cake I'm able to eat and enjoy.
I also need some tips on decorating.. I never seem to get the finishing touches right!
I usually make it around Dec. 15th and feed it 3-4 times..and is ready in time for Xmas day!
I'm making this cake for christmas this year, and it's my first time ever making a christmas cake. Is it ok to start baking it now then (I have no idea when to bake a xmas cake but I know it needs to age and mature and you gotta feed it)
Is it ok to make today, as it says 'can be baked last minute' then feed it how often?
I made this cake for christmas, after reading everyones comments i had to try it, my cake also took longer to bake a total of five hours but it was well worth it everyone loved that it wasn't as heavy as the normal christmas cake we have. I will be making this cake next christmas if not before then if my husband has anything to do with it. (don't be put of by the cooking times)
I made this cake for christmas because i wanted to try something different from the norm, after reading everyones comments i thought i would give it a try i am so glad i did and will be making it again next christmas. I also had to up my cooking time, the cake took four and a half hours to bake. (don't be put of by the cooking time)
I read the comments about this cake before I made it and expected it to need longer cooking time. However, it did not! After the rcommended time I checked the cake with my skewer and it was cooked. I did not wrap newspaper around it and I did turn the oven down. So I was very pleased. Now we cannot wait to see how it will be at Christmas. It is now "in storage " waiting for it's next feed!
I omit the 150g of nuts and add dried cranberries [or any other dried fruit to make up the 150g of ingredients ] so the balance is right for the mix.use warmed apricot jam to fix marzipan to cake,let this 'harden off' for a day or so before icing so the surface is dry or the almonds'oil will seep through and spoil the appearance of the icing
Hmmm...I've just checked out the 'step-by-step' guide to this cake......first step-raw ingredients in a bowl.second step-finished cake being'fed' ..come on now-let's see what it's like after only 1.5hrs in oven..?!?! a little cake dressing tips wouldn't go amiss either.

"I do think that schools are becoming better in the state," said Owen. "There's a general sense that things are moving forward and we are in a better place than we were two or three years ago."
Wednesday morning, Owen delivered the school accountability reports to the State Board of Education. It showed that more schools that had been graded at the lowest ratings of "turnaround" and "priority improvement" are moving up to the higher ratings of "improvement" and "performance".
Owen says part of that success is the use of more than $50 million in federal grants, funded mostly by President Barack Obama's Stimulus Package. The grants targeted the lowest five percent of schools in Colorado to help them turn things around.
"All of this investment two, three years ago in making sure that districts understand where their performance challenges are, is starting to pay off in Colorado," said Owen. "I do think we're starting to see some progress."
That type of progress can be seen at Fort Logan Elementary in Sheridan. The Fort Logan campus together with Alice Terry Elementary had been rated as a "turnaround" school.
"It wasn't a good feeling labelled with the big red mark and big red X that the state called a 'turnaround'," said Michael Clough, superintendent of the Sheridan School District.
So, Clough and his staff secured one of those federal grants totaling $2.4 over three years to pay for more professional development of teachers to learn better teaching methods. It allowed the district to purchase a better data system to measure student progress.
"And, then, we had an expanded day where our students actually were engaged in longer school days," said Clough. "So, there was more time for instruction."
The added time was not put at the end of the day. The district built in 90 extra minutes to the middle of the day. Students are now engaged in enrichment experiences like violin classes, or Tae Kwan Do around the noon hour.
"I think it teaches them how to focus," said Desiree Cedeno-Suarez, a violin instructor from the Englewood Cultural Arts Center teaching kids at Fort Logan. "So, they have to learn how to stand their ground and not just to wilt or fade away."
Cedeno-Suarez believes students gain confidence in these enrichment classes which in turn translate to the classroom when they're learning reading and math.
"When we start reading music, it's so basic at first. It is counting and it's following along, but it's not letters," said Cedeno-Suarez. "If they can't read well, but they can read music, then maybe they can read (words) more."
At the same time, teachers get a chance to meet as teams and discuss teaching strategies, while going over testing data to see exactly what skills their students are missing.
"It was wonderful having the resources to do what we needed to be able to do," said Clough.
Now, instead of being rated as "turnaround", Fort Logan and Alice Terry jumped two categories are now considered an "improvement" school.
If you want to see how your school is doing, visit http://www.schoolview.org/.
Parents can compare the performance of each Colorado schools and districts and be able to measure their performance.
"It does feel like a trend," said Clough. "I say in Colorado, we're starting to get it."

The OFA Golf team took sole possession of the Northern Conference Division I lead while the baseball and softball teams geared up for a meeting of Central Division showdowns in Mondays action against Franklin County opponents.
In a midseason meeting of D1 unbeatens, the Blue Devil Golfers downed Malone 207-220 while the baseball and softball teams downed Salmon River gathering momentum for games against Malone.
The baseball squad (7-1 NAC) posted a 16-0 victory and will look to reverse its only loss in hosting Malone on Friday. The softball (5-2 NAC) squad prevailed and will visit an undefeated Malone squad on Thursday.
In boys lacrosse action, OFA (2-8 NAC) issued a serious challenge to 9-2 St. Lawrence Central before dropping a 7-3 decision.
The Devils depth once again proved decisive as the Huskies recorded the two best rounds of the day at the St. Lawrence State Park (par 35). Mike Sullivan shot a medalist 36 and Evan Hannah posted a 39.
The Devils answered with their five scoring rounds bunched between 40 and 43. Jed McRoberts and Brandon Mullin, who birdied the eighth hole, both finished at 40, Conor Hannan tallied a 41 and Rudy Binion and Alec Manke finished at 43. Tristan Moore finished with a non-scoring 46 and Alexandria Sprague (45), Elliott Vanier (47) and David Sprague (43) rounded out the Malone total.
The greens were very hard today which caused some problems but shooting a 207 is a very good effort. said OFA Coach Joe Lynch.
Alec Manke had a very nice round in the sixth position. This was a nice win but now we will see where we stand as we go on the road to Massena, Potsdam and Malone.
Colin Ross fired a round of 40 from the alternates ranks and Matt Piercey carded a 48.
This was a very strong team effort. There is no question about it. We played the second best team in the league and a team which led Salmon River for much of their game and we played well enough to win on both offense and defense, said OFA Coach Matt Morley who will lead his team to Potsdam on Thursday for a 7 p.m. start.
We failed to connect on several excellent chances but I think the difference in the game was their goalie, Kody Kocsis, he made a lot of big saves. And Spencer Lawrence kept us in the game with his play in goal.
The Larries took a 2-1 lead after one period and answered an OFA rally which cut the difference to 5-3 early in the fourth quarter.
Cody Burns (1 assist) and Marshall Burninghausen each scored three goals off excellent ball movement in the SLC offense. Skyler Burns tallied one goal with one assist, Blake Baldwin passed out two assists and Stiles and Luke Arquiett each chipped in assist to back Kocsis 11-save effort.
Jake Garrison scored twice for OFA with Andrew Roddy netting a solo goal and Andrew Putman and Nate Peo passing out assists to back Lawrences 13 saves.
Four pitchers combined on an 11-strikeout two-hitter and six players lined three hits or more as 7-1 OFA recorded its seventh straight NAC Central win in defeating Salmon River.
Our pitchers all threw very well and as a team everyone is hitting the ball hard, said OFA Coach Tom Pinkerton.
We are all looking forward to Malone on Friday and the Jim Pinkerton Tournament on Saturday (1 p.m. first game games: OFA vs Canton, Madrid-Waddington vs Brushton-Moira).
Zach Sharpe (2 inn 3 Ks) Alex Farrell (2 inn 3 Ks), Kinnon LaRose (2 inn 4Ks), Lefty Arsenault (2 inn 2Ks) combined for 11 strikeouts and Konnor Murdock (4 RBIs) drilled a triple, a double and two singles to lead the OFA offense.
Seth Pinkerton (2 RBIs) followed with two doubles and a single and Sharpe (3/3 3 RBIs), Andrew Cole (1 RBI) and Arsenault (1 RBI) each connected for three singles.
Zach Barr (2 RBIs) stroked two hits and Kinnon (1 RBI) and Breton LaRose each added singles. Jarrid Gray singled twice for the Salmon River hits.
A sixth run sixth inning carried the Devils past a solid effort by Salmon River which committed only one error.
Brittany Barr (7 strikeouts, 1 walk) picked up the win throwing a one-hitter for OFA while Emily Tremblay (5 strikeouts, 3 walks) went the route for SR.
Mollee Ahrens led the OFA squad with a 3-4 game, Stacy Barr singled and tripled while Felicia Barr singled and doubled. Jocelyn Fifield and Riley Luckie had two hits each for the winners.
Salmon River scored its lone run in the third inning without the benefit of a hit. Kwas Laffin reached on an error and moved around to score on wild pitches. Tremblay had the lone hit for SRC, a single.

Gusts of up to 60 miles per hour roared through Carbon County Thursday, toppling trees, damaging homes and causing spotty power outages during the early morning hours.
While the winds here did not match the force and damage inflicted on the Wasatch Front, there were reports of outages in Price and Helper. At the corner of 800 North and Cedar Hills Drive in Price, one power pole was badly cracked at its based.
It was held in place by a the grip of the Rocky Mountain pole installation truck until it could be replaced Friday afternoon.
Also in Price, a tall pine tree was uprooted. It was sawn and carted away later in the day. Kenilworth also had a tree fall caused by the wind.
The wind blew out multiple windows at Kraync Motors in Price.
"It was like someone shot a 30.06 through them," said Karl Kraync, owner of the business. "They just exploded."
Kraync estimated that at least one of the windows would cost $1000 to replace.
Elsewhere in Castle Country, traffic was disrupted for close to an hour outside the town of Emery when two coal trucks were unable to make the grade on a hill on the snow-slicked Highway 10. More photos are on page 11A.
