Digital Citizenship as a Way of Life, Not Just a Lesson
Here at the end of the year kids tend to be a bit "squirrely", and we as teachers might find that we are letting things slide that we would not have at the beginning of the year. When it comes to technology in our classrooms – iPads, computers, SmartBoards etc – it's time to double down our efforts to keep our kids and technology safe.
While it wouldn't be good practice to introduce new rules surrounding technology, it is the perfect time to take a look at what is working and what isn't so that you can make good adjustments for next year. Even though our students have grown up with technology, that does not mean they necessarily understand social skills that accompany the use of technology in different situations.
It's always a good idea to encourage kids to:
- Be Responsible with technology – that means washing hands, using hand sanitizer, being gentle with things like headphones and the devices in general. A gentle reminder to make good choices when using technology to create can go a long way.
- Be Respectful – Students should always remember that when they are using technology at school they need to be professional. If they are interacting with others online they should keep a respectful tone and use the Golden Rule and treat others the way you would want to be treated.
- Be a Team Player – Students should wait their turn to use the tech and share when applicable
- Be a Hard Worker – Students should do their best work and use only those sites or applications approved by their teacher as educationally valuable – or sites and applications that are necessary to their work at hand.
- Be Safe – Students should constantly be reminded not to share personal information with anyone or any website online and they shouldn't share their passwords with other people.
Here are some things to think about for next year:
- Consider what signals you will use for letting kids know when it is appropriate to use technology in your classroom
- Consider creating a class technology job – that person is responsible for checking to make sure things are in order, plugging devices in and trouble shooting
- Consider what your technology expectations are for your class and give how you will communicate those expectations
- Consider how you will model good use of technology in your classroom – what skills do the students need to be successful
- Look for ways that you can make good digital citizenship a way of life in your classroom and not just a lesson

Summer Reading for Teachers
For those of you looking for a little self-directed professional development this summer, two titles I would recommend checking into are Donalyn Miller's The Book Whisperer and Teach Like a Pirate by Dave Burgess (this is on my personal reading list for the summer).
Miller's The Book Whisperer is a truly inspiring read that could potentially rock your reading pedagogy. Miller, a 6th grade language arts teacher, shares her tried and true approach to creating culture of reading that inspires her students to become lifelong readers and helps them make major gains in their ability to read and comprehend what they're reading through independent reading. In Miller's class, students read an average of four books per school year, and consistently achieve high scores on standardized state tests. The combination of passion that Miller communicates and the format she shares for how she runs her class makes the book an extremely engaging read.
You can follow Miller on Twitter @donalynbooks, and don't miss her website bookwhisperer.com. Miller is also a contributor and moderator for the #nerdybookclub http://nerdybookclub.wordpress.com/
For my own reading, I'll be checking out Dave Burgess's Teach Like a Pirate. The book promises to "dramatically increase your passion as a teacher" and help you develop "outrageously engaging lessons". The book has sparked its own hashtag #tlap and discussion on Monday at 8 pm CST. Follow Burgess @burgessdave and check out his website/blog http://www.daveburgess.com/.
For more suggestions, check out this post "The Ten Best Summer Reads for Teachers" by Angela Watson, which has suggestions like Drive and The Passion Driven Classroom in addition to Teach Like a Pirate and The Book Whisperer.

The following is a guest blog post by Karlene Kerfoot, Chief Nursing Officer at API Healthcare.
Technology is an undeniable force in the healthcare industry and plays a daily role in a nurse's life. Nurses are responsible for managing devices and utilizing the electronic health records, among many other things. Whenever patient care requires a nurse, they will interact with advanced technologies. As a result, improving these digital systems to better improve clinicians' ability to provide care is at the top of mind for most hospitals.
While hospitals and health systems work to implement and improve technologies, it is important to keep in mind how that technology can have larger implications. One consideration is how the innovation impacts your work staff's satisfaction.
Nurses are the heart of the healthcare team and are the most patient-facing representatives. Research has shown that changes in technology, among other things, may allow for substantial improvements in the use of nurses' time and the delivery of safe patient care. However, technology that isn't nurse-friendly can impede the work of the nurse. When hospitals find ways to streamline processes and make things more convenient for nurses to do their jobs, it can lead to increased job satisfaction. Furthermore, nurses who feel empowered in their roles are more effective and report better patient care, which is one of the ultimate goals hospitals set for success.
In addition to how technology helps nurses during their day-to-day jobs, hospitals can also use technology to manage broader job satisfaction when it comes to things like staffing and scheduling. Nurses often face a unique set of challenges when it comes to their schedules, workflow and even things like career development – all of which requires hospitals to rethink how they enable work satisfaction through technology.
For example, because patient needs can be unpredictable, it is often times challenging for hospitals to predict their staffing needs on an hourly or daily basis, especially during spikes around the holidays that pull nurses away from families and personal needs.
If a nurse is consistently working overtime hours, situations like handling too many patients or being assigned to patients outside of their training/expertise can inhibit their ability to advance their careers. In addition, fatigue and stress as a result of nurses working extensive periods of overtime can result in serious and potentially life-threatening medical errors. In fact, the odds of making an error are more than three times higher when nurses work shifts of 13 hours or more.
Newer workforce technology systems for nurses can help to ensure a fair and equitable workload so managers can set up their staff for success, and make changes to schedules by pairing up staffing needs to things like patient acuity or census numbers by the day or hour. These technologies also give nurses the opportunity to take more control over their schedules and avoid the burnout.
The ability to use tools that help with staffing needs supports additional research that shows that nurses who work excessive amounts of overtime, produce lower quality work and their happiness levels decrease, which ultimately impacts the patient satisfaction and hospital's bottom line.
The value technology has brought to healthcare is growing by leaps and bounds, but at the core of healthcare are the patients and the people who can help them. Technology has infinite ability to help both, and it is important that health systems have access to resources that allow them to make better staffing decisions.

Budapest – One city, two faces
On the western bank of the Danube, there's Buda, the hilly side of town; on the eastern bank, Pest, which is flat. The differences in elevation have always informed life in Budapest. We bring you some highs and lows from the Hungarian
Head heavenward
Castle Hill rises 168 meters into the sky over Buda. That's quite a climb, but a cablecar dating from 1870 will also take you up – at roughly 11 kilometers per hour.
High society
Originally intended solely for the pleasure of the upper classes, the Danube promenade in Pest is also frequented by strolling crowds of ordinary folk these days.
High flyer
One way to enjoy a bird's-eye view of the city on the Danube is to book a 20-minute sightseeing trip in a helicopter. Cost: 215 euros (for a maximum of two passengers).
Sup up
The ground floor of the New York Palace, luxury hotel and popular high-society haunt, is where you will find the Café New York – Budapest's most elegant coffee house.
Experience the highs and lows of the Hungarian capital on magnificent Erzsébet Square, as you take a ride on the new Ferris wheel, the Budapest Eye.
Two thousand years ago, the Romans settled in the area now occupied by present-day Budapest. The ruins of what they called "Colonia Aquincum" can be found in Óbuda.
Go underground
An extensive and intricate network of flooded caves lies beneath the streets of the city, just waiting for experienced divers to come and explore.
Six feet under
Budapest's rich and famous find their last resting place in 57-hectare Kerepesi Cemetery; visitors, imposing mausoleums and monuments.
The city's trendy underground scene rejoices in "ruin bars", imaginative party locations that tap into the charm of dilapidated and disused buildings.
Traditional immersion
Established by the Romans and revived by the Turks, Budapest's bathhouse tradition is ancient. The old Gellért baths are among the world's most famous.

Meat & Greet
Once a year, the small village of Carrù in Piedmont is inundated with visitors. Then the smells of meat, wine, straw and ecstasy hang in the air, as they celebrate the fattest oxen.
No matter how fat an ox may be, there is always another one that's fatter. So say the villagers, whispering among themselves till their mouths water: Remember that one last year, the legs on it! And three years ago, the muscles! No, calls another, 1985, don't you remember? The fattest ox of all time! Someone else joins them, tries to be funny: The oxen are magnificent, that I'll admit, but they're also dumb! Man, they're dumb animals! Suddenly everyone falls quiet, turns serious. Don't ever insult the fat ox, they growl. Get out of here! Shaking their heads in disgust, they all agree that that idiot can't be from here or he would never have dared to talk that way. The tension subsides. Soon it will be meat time. Soon they'll know the name of this year's fattest ox.
Carrù is a tiny village in Piedmont, northern Italy. It has two churches, a main street and a bus depot, although few buses ever depart from it. That's why it is converted into an arena for the oxen. You can see the Alps from here, the Langhe hills rolling away like truffle carpaccio. All year long, everything is lovely and peaceful here, and then the second Thursday in December comes around. That's when the oxen arrive, and with them the crowds, and the hunger – and the madness. For over a hundred years now, the second Thursday in December has marked the start of the Fiera del Bue Grasso, the Fat Ox Fair.
The clueless call it a cattle fair, nothing more, but the Carrucesi agree that it's a fair, yes, but a religious one. What they are seeking is the God of Bulls. It's the best meat in the world and soft as butter, they say, but so full of flavor. The whole of Piedmont on a fork: its valleys, the air, the earth and the grass that grows in it, the hills of Montferrat, the Tanaro River and its water labyrinth.
Restaurant owners from all over Italy come to bid for an ox to include on their menu. The wealthy Turinese, the intellectual Romans, the elegant Milanese, everyone in fact who would normally mock provincial life and country folk now arrives in hopes of catching a glimpse of the fat ox.
The Germans think they know all about meat. They love their cold cuts, their steaks and schnitzels. Germans love a barbecue, but if they came to Carrù, they would be forced to admit how little any of that means. Carrù has just one supermarket, but six butcher's shops.
One of these belongs to Federica Bovinlanga. She has well-hung shanks, bloody carcasses and monstrous haunches in her window, all piled high like a Babylonian tower of meat. Signora Bovinlanga stocks every other part of the ox, too, so you could actually piece the animal back together again Gunther von Hagen-style in her shop. "There's the head," she says, pointing to the counter. "There's the liver. Here's the heart! Everyone wants ox meat. They buy like crazy when the fair's on," says Bovinlanga. For eleven months of the year, no one buys ox meat. It's delicious, but it's also rather heavy and takes a while to digest. But in December, she sells 1000 kilos of ox meat a day. An old man with a cane, who looks as though he couldn't even manage a meatball, places his order. How much would you like, Carlo? Bovinlanga's knife glides across the meat until he tells her to stop. 300 grams? 700 grams? Two kilos? The little man buys a whole 14-kilo chunk. On the tiled wall behind her, Bovinlanga has a card showing her sons in Santa hats, holding a huge slab of raw loin up to the camera. It says Buon Natale, Merry Christmas, on the card. That's what postcards from Carrù look like. Scusi, Signora, one more question: How is the Piemontese ox bred? Ask the dottore, says Signora Bovinlanga.
We drive out of Carrù, along country roads, past green fields. Andrea Quaglino, the man they call "dottore" because he really does have a doctorate, paces around his office in a checkered jacket with elbow patches. He is the head of the Piemontese Cattle Breeders Association and responsible for ensuring that the breed remains pure, strong and beautiful. Quaglino clicks on a database containing the bull breeding records of past years. He decides which sperm to send to which breeder. "We take year of birth, size, and bloodline into account," Quaglino explains. "When all goes well, the results are amazing. The Fiera proves this. It unites the local people with the animals."
The oxen draw huge crowds to Carrù, hunger sets in – and madness too
Everyone has heard of Japanese Kobe beef. If it were a question of taste, argues Quaglino, and everyone in Piedmont agrees on this, then the whole world ought to know bue piemontese. That is their goal, that's what they strive to achieve. Scusi, dottore, but who will be the winner at the Fiera tomorrow? Quaglino thinks long and hard. You should pay a visit to Guido Filippi, he says.
The Fiera del Bue Grasso dates from the year 1635. At that time, Carrù still belonged to the Duchy of Savoy. Duke Viktor Amadeus I granted the village the right to hold an annual fair. When the area was hit by a harsh winter in 1910 and the country was buried beneath a deep layer of snow, the village council decided to slaughter the fattest ox in order to save the inhabitants from starvation. The fair is dedicated to two sides of the same coin: celebration of life and fear of death and it arose from the need to identify which animals were the fattest.
Guido Filippi, the man we've been told to visit, has some truly fat specimens in his barn. He is a cattle farmer, his father was a cattle farmer, and his grandfather was a cattle farmer before him. The barn door creaks as Filippi opens it. There are cattle standing on both sides, some of them nearly two meters tall. At one year old, a Piemontese can weigh 600 kilos, fully grown and fattened up, double that. But one of Filippi's stock is larger than the rest: He is Titan, the animal on which Filippi is pinning his hopes of winning and plans to bring before to the jury tomorrow. "Your chances are good, you gorgeous beast," he croons in the bull's ear. Filippi won once before, 20 years ago, with a different ox, but only in the maximum weight category, which at the Fiera means silver. Gold is awarded only to the animal with top results in every category: fatness, appearance, size, strength, elegance and pride.
Filippi's wife says that this business with the oxen is an obsession. Her husband is constantly worrying about how the animals are faring in the barn – even at night. Sometimes he sleeps out there in the hay. Filippi's response: "What can I do? It's my life. I have no other. I want no other." Scusi, Guido, when everything's over tomorrow, where will you eat? "In the marquee," says farmer Filippi, "with the regular people. That's the way I like it."
The head chef stirs the pot with a spoon that's two meters long and looks like a paddle
The wind tugs at the marquee erected on the Piazza Divisione Alpina Cuneense in Carrù. It's big enough to seat 700 greedy guests at a time; people eat in shifts. Right now, the marquee is still empty. The Fiera is not only about picking the winning oxen, it's also about the meat, about getting enough to eat. In fact it's a veritable meat orgy, where people gorge themselves for two whole days until there's nothing left.
Domenico Garino, head chef in the marquee, is stirring his pot with a spoon. That spoon is two meters long and looks more like a paddle. The pot is one meter high and wide, more of a tub, really. What's simmering in the pot is the gran bollito (big meat stew) everyone will be eating tomorrow – locals and visitors, breeders and buyers, rich and poor. Garino has 12 pots on the go, each one containing 20 liters. The heat drips from the ceiling, beads of sweat drip from Garino's forehead. "The ox's head is the biggest challenge," he explains, stirring away until a horned head floats to the surface. "If it cooks for too long it falls apart – not long enough and the outer skin will not be tender enough." Garino looks thoughtful, then adds: "As with everything in life, the head is the most important part." Behind him, two assistants are sawing ox hearts in two. A young man in an apron is heading his way with a wheelbarrow full of shanks. Another is straining quartered livers into the pots. And so the day dawns, the day of the Fiera.
It's still dark when the first cattle trucks begin to rumble up the hill. Old men silently wander through the alleys, leaning on their crooks, their breath forming clouds in the darkness. On Via Roma, people jeer at a hotdog truck parked there. Mamma mia! Who'd want a hotdog when the oxen come snorting and stamping into town? It's six in the morning and people are piling into the restaurants, long lines everywhere and the longest at the bus depot.
The sound of restless animals can be heard from inside the cattle trucks. Perhaps they sense the perfidious course of the day ahead: first fame and honor, but ultimately always death. They may win today, but they will still lose their lives. Piedmont is hungry. Look, there's Guido Filippi's truck! Seven men are pulling Titan up the ramp. He rears up, drags the helpers along and flings himself against a gate. The breeders are supposed to drive the animals, but in reality, it's the animals that are driving the breeders. Proud, mighty Titan, do you know what hour has struck for you? Today he's a king. Even Iberian fighting bulls seem slight by comparison. And the crowd oohs and aahs, caught between fear and ecstasy. One judge has been injured, kicked in the knee, and is put on a stretcher and taken to hospital. "It's nothing, a mere scratch, let me stay!" he shouts as the ambulance doors bang shut. There are accidents at the Fiera every year. The bue is an unpredictable beast. Right now, Carrù smells of sawdust, Barolo and sweat. Of straw, dung and ecstasy. Giovanni Cardoné takes a deep breath. "That's how it has to smell," he says. "That's how it always smells."
Cardoné is one of the competition judges. In flat cap, sweater vest and spattered jeans, he trots around the oxen, murmuring knowledgeable comments to the other judges. He measures the oxen's necks, looks deep into their eyes. The jury's wisecracks about the animals are coarse yet affectionate. Right up to the last minute, the breeders use every trick in the book, combing tails and dusting the oxen with flour to make their coats gleam just as the jury approaches. "You can see your animals all year. Leave us alone for five minutes. Surely you can manage that," Cardoné snaps. Hours later, when the sun has broken through the clouds, the verdict stands. Two bulls are hauled into the middle of the arena, but Titan is not one of them. Fillipi comes away empty-handed.
"The heaviest ox this year," Cardoné yells into the microphone, "Attila! Five years! 1420 kilos!"
"And now we come to the fat bull, King of Bulls, winner in every category," shouts Cardoné. Then he pauses dramatically; not a sound is heard in the piazza. "TANGO! Congratulations! Also to Signore Gaetano Colnaghi, who has purchased the animal."
While the champion is loaded up, his owner grins and shakes lots of hands
Cheering, clapping and weary, the crowd disperses, heads for the restaurants to finally spear onto their forks what they have only been able to admire all these hours. Shouting out their reservations, they sound like they're playing Happy Families: Osteria del Borgo, four people! Palazzo di Mezzo, 1 o'clock! Trattoria Vascello d'Oro, only at the counter, I'm afraid!"
Resplendent in his winner's sash, Tango is loaded up, while his owner stands grinning and shaking hands.
Signore Colnaghi, please, how much did you pay for the ox? At that he puffs out his cheeks, rolls his eyes and holds up ten fingers. Ten thousand. At least. He will be transporting the ox to his slaughterhouse in Legnano near Milan and then waiting for chefs to come along with their offers. And they will come, for sure.
Helpers are sweeping up the straw. The Tricolore, the Italian flag, is flying outside the bus depot on Piazza Mercato. This is still the Italy of old that sees itself reaffirmed at the Fiera del Bue Grasso, the Italy of the common people, of traditions that never die.
Election posters have been hung all around the piazza – another referendum, another political change or government reshuffle. Nothing new to the Carruscesi, then; They are used to all of this. Ask them what they think and they will simply shake their heads. And Giovanni Cardoné, the judge, hurrying by on his way to a steaming dish of bollito in the marquee, calls out: "I don't believe in politics. I believe in the fat ox!"

Bestselling authors Christopher Golden (The Boys Are Back in Town and Baltimore) and Tim Lebbon (Dawn and Desolation) continue with the next Hidden Cities book after Mind the Gap and The Map of Moments, and this time they travel to the enchanting, historical city of Venice. Geena Hodge, an archaeologist, is working with her team at the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana when they come upon a hidden door. A documentary crew is also with them from the BBC covering these last discoveries as Venice continues to sink beneath the waters. Behind the door they discover the hidden Chamber of Ten, belonging to a secret group from the fifteenth century that controlled the city and the Doge. Then a wall breaks and the Venetian waters begin flowing into the hidden chamber and filling it up, as the team does everything they can to rescue the documents and artifacts before everything is under water. As time passes and excavation on the sunken chamber begins, Geena finds herself experiencing some very strange visions of a past time with dark magic and powerful people. Then there's Nico, a member of the team who is also Geena's lover, and is a person with telepathically abilities who finds himself possessed by someone from the past with great power.
After the success of the great Map of Moments, The Chamber of Ten falls short of being a good novel, feeling rushed and over the top, with simple characters, and little going on other than ham-handed "black magic" and outlandish action scenes. However, there has been some research done here on old Venice, which is shared with the reader, along with descriptive scenes of the beautiful Italian city.

I'm afraid I've been neglecting this blog recently, I'm afraid the lure of Twitter is too much, it is far easier for me to keep up a twitter account rather than a blog account. But I will try harder to write here!
For now, the good weather is providing me with lots of opportunities to take photos, so I am snapping everything in sight. I think the summer may turn this blog into a photo blog. Hope you enjoy these pictures from my week.

|Strawberry-infused Vodka
Citrus fruit and herbs are exempt from this, but bacon and sliced strawberries are great examples of porous substances.
Infusing liquor is very easy. To make an absolutely amazing berry-infused vodka or berry-infused rum, follow these simple steps:
Take a large container that can be sealed air-tight and add a bottle of your liquor of choice and whole berries (rinsed and patted dry) - do not cut the stems or greens off the berry.
Then seal the container and leave it to infused for 4 to 6 weeks. Yes, I said 4 to 6 weeks.
Open the container and strain the berry-infused liquor into a glass bottle. Serve over ice and enjoy!

Twerking is a kind of dancing by which a person, often a female, dances to music inside a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements along with a low squatting stance. Although the term appears to become of uncertain origin with common assumptions suggesting it represents a contraction of "footwork" or perhaps a portmanteau from the words "twist" and "jerk", the Oxford Dictionaries blog states "the probably theory is it is definitely an difference in work, because that word has past getting used in similar ways, with dancers being asked to "work it". ("Twerk it" is a very common phrase too.) The "t" might be a consequence of blending with another word for example twist or twitch." There's evidence from ethnographic interviews in New Orleans the term started as street language in New Orleans using the rise from the local rap music referred to as bounce. Because the late 1990s, twerking was connected with bounce music of Southern rap and it was disseminated via mainstream rap videos and popular video-discussing sites because the mid-2000s. In 2013, twerk was put into the Oxford Dictionary Online. Based on Oxford dictionary, the term has existed for 25 years. The term would be a runner-in the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the season 2013.

This is a beautiful picture...good enough to go on the kitchen wall...I love the use of spelt flour...My blogging partner, Jenny and I have been thinking very hard to come up with some spelt recipes apart from the usual bread and crackers....and here, I come across a most beautiful looking dessert with an amazing vanilla sauce. This has been bookmarked and will be made this week for sure...Thank you for such a brilliant recipe.ReplyDelete
Oh my....! I am totally drooling over this! I used to love eating apple pie with vanilla ice cream, but your vanilla sauce sounds like a much healthier alternative...not to mention delicious too :)!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful and comforting cake! I've never had a vanilla sauce, but it sounds delicious!ReplyDelete

Gladly you have reminded me about this recipe. I absolutely love this tart. I have prepared it numeorus times but forgotten about it. I love it, because it's relatively simple so even if I have unexpected guests I throw all the ingredients and bake it for sth like 20- 30 minutes. During those time the atmosphere unwinds and the tart arrives just on time as a perfect dessert :-)ReplyDelete
That looks gorgeous! I love that you made it with spelt flour. I'm going to bookmark this to give it a try because it looks so good :)ReplyDelete
wow, that looks mouth watering, I can almost taste it :)ReplyDelete

Maria, your apple tart looks delicious, and the vanilla sauce is just perfect with it. Beautiful pictures!ReplyDelete
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead :-)
The bottom tart-crust looks different from the apple tart/pie I am used to seeing. The aroma of cinnamon and vanilla adds the finishing touch.ReplyDelete
I love traditional tarts from Scandinavian countries;it seems that this type of pastry is really mastered there.ReplyDelete
Maria, this looks amazing! So perfect! I love recipes that bring us back to good times and childhood. My mom's apple pie can't be beat either. I do like the changes that you made to it. I have not had the vanilla sauce yet!ReplyDelete

Stunning - and perfect for winter. What's rapadura sugar?ReplyDelete
- Toivakka21 June 2011 at 11:18
Wow, this brings back very fond memories of my days as an exchange student in Finland. My host mum is a great cook and this was one of her staples. We often had this with a glass of sima after sauna. She also made a cake in a bundt tin that she called 'salt cake' - it had raisins, cardomom and used cream instead of butter. Can anyone else remember this and have the recipe?ReplyDelete
PS Thanks for a great blog, the photos are wonderful (and recognisably Finnish in style - simple composition and very shallow field of focus).
PPS Onnea- congratulations on your engagement.
Us scandanavians sure now how to make a delicious apple cake!ReplyDelete
I love the idea of using the flan dish - a better ratio of apple to cake! And the vanilla sauce reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for sharing your lovely recipe.
Maria, this is such a beautiful tart! Shame on you for not sharing this Finnish classic with us earlier ;p... Still... Never too late :)ReplyDelete
this looks amazing Maria, thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I love apple desserts - they are naughty, but a little healthy at the same time.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful apple tart! Love your vanilla sauce too. I like to use potato starch to thicken the sauce too. ;-))ReplyDelete
looks devine! :-)ReplyDelete
Yum. Love a good apples tart, this looks particularly delicious :-)ReplyDelete
Oh this reminds me of my grandmother's apple cake. She used to make us one every time we would come to visit and it always brings back good memories.ReplyDelete
There is nothing like the smell coming from your own kitchen to transport you back to your family home. Helps keep homesickness at bay :-) will have to try this tart recipe, looks divine!ReplyDelete
mmmmm.... gorgeous! Perfect for the couple of old apple I have lying around.ReplyDelete
Yummo! - this looks so comforting.ReplyDelete
I have a sneaking suspicion that this would also make for a delicious spring tart! I love that vanilla sauce.ReplyDelete
At first glance, I thought you had made a classic French apple tart. Good food knows no boundaries :-). Maria, this sounds delicious and I would make it anytime I had good apples available. This is comfort food at its very best. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...MaryReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this classic apple tart with us, it is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I am really in awe of Finnish dishes. Apples tarts are always lovely. I love mine with ice cream:) It may sound like a silly question, but how is a Finnish apple tart different from the usual apple tart??ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous tart that is! The vanilla sauce is truly the perfect accompaniment!ReplyDelete
Finally something with Spelt..Heather from Girlie chef is having a theme on her event WWC with Spelt and I was wondering how many people cook with Spelt. Love this tar..could see the lovely crumbles ubder the apples.ReplyDelete
Maria, this tart is stunningly beautiful as are all of your photos. Wonderful job on this favorite summer classic... Thank you for sharing and inspiring me with every recipe!ReplyDelete
This is a beautiful looking tart, the sprinkling of cinnamon and rapadura sugar on the top adds that rustic appeal :)ReplyDelete
Thank you all! I am so happy to have shared this recipe with you :-)ReplyDelete
Tiina: Rapadura sugar is available at health food stores. It is unrefined and unbleached whole cane sugar with a lovely golden colour and caramel-like flavour.
Toivakka: Please check back later, I'll be making my version of the traditional 'salt cake' soon ;-)
Sanjeeta: I have been using spelt flour in baking for quite a while now. If you look at my other sweet or savoury baking recipes, you'll find most of them use white or whole spelt :-)
This looks incredible Maria. Aren't foods that stir up childhood memories the best?! You've once again managed to make me very hungry with your gorgeous recipes and photos ;)ReplyDelete
Oh my, that IS a realy treat! It looks a lot like the apple cakes I used to eat in Italy. I like the changes you made :), Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat EatersReplyDelete
This looks beautiful, and exactly the sort of thing to make my husband think of home. the healthy amendments are right up my street too!ReplyDelete
This is just such a lovely recipe ... your photographs are so bright and beautiful !ReplyDelete
That looks and sounds fantastic! I have visited Finland and I loved it so...I'm already loving this :) One day I will go back!ReplyDelete
Oh Maria, how magnificent! I ate a similar-ish cake/tart growing up, but now that I love heartier/healthier flavours in my sweets, I know I need to try this :)ReplyDelete
it's perfectly done, maria--bravo! i love the hypnotic design, and the sauce is an excellent accompaniment!ReplyDelete
Just wanted to say, I baked this last night & it was delicious. Super easy to make too.ReplyDelete

Maria, what kind of oven you have? gas oven?ReplyDelete
Hi there,ReplyDelete
225C for an electric oven, but I'd use 200C for gas.

Sonny D-Lite is the singer, guitarist and flashy, funny frontman for Disco Inferno, a popular Cleveland-based show band that fondly revisits the sounds and visuals of the disco era.
We're talking Wild Cherry, KC & the Sunshine Band, the Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire and lots of "movin' to the groovin'."
"People have fun at our shows, and they dance," said D-Lite (real name David Maffei). "Seeing the looks on their faces, you get energized. So often, people come up and say, 'Dude, I hate disco, but I love you guys.' "
Here are five things to know about Sonny D-Lite, Disco King:
1. He used to be a disco hater. "It's kind of ironic, but there's a photo on my Facebook of me back in the early '80s with this hard-rock band I was in in Los Angeles, standing in front of a brick wall. I have long hair and I'm wearing a T-shirt that says 'Disco Sucks.'
"Now I have short hair and I play in a disco band. Back in the day, disco was more of a lifestyle and I think that's what turned people off to it. But as I learned to play these songs, I realized the music on a lot of those songs is incredible."
2. He's actually kind of quiet. "Growing up, I was always a very shy person. Even now, you probably wouldn't guess I'm in a band like this. But when you're in costume — the platforms and the bellbottoms and the afro wig — you become that person and you're more outgoing. I say it's like me putting on my Superman cape."
3. He likes making women dance. "That's one thing that's made this band be so successful. Disco music is timeless, it's dance and that's what females like to do — dance. We play lots of songs in a row. We keep the dance floor going. When we do 'We Are Family,' 'Celebration,' 'I Will Survive,' 'Disco Inferno,' the crowd gets up and going. When 'Dancing Queen' goes on, all the girls go crazy. They all know all the words ... And if girls are dressed in disco outfits, we bring them onstage."
4. He's been doing this a long time. "I've been doing this since '96. It started as a joke disco thing and then it just started exploding for Halloween then turned into a band thing. After all these years, we're probably still one of the top-drawing bands around here. People say, 'Aren't you burned out by disco?' and I say, 'No, at my day job I listen to disco songs on my iPad.' "
5. He's challenged to hit those Bee Gees falsetto notes. "Luckily, both of the singers I have can sing the falsetto. That's probably the hardest part. The band always performs as four members, but I have a rotation of six other guys — two singers, two basses and two drummers. We probably play 130-plus shows a year."

If you have ever taken any sort of train you have seen that foreboding red device, the emergency brake. When do we use it? The New York Times' City Room blog recently featured a video answering just that question. The video–"Emergency Brake"–is by Casey Neistat, who risked arrest and prop limbs in the making of his production.
The basic moral of the story is that the emergency brake should never really be used while a train is in motion. Do not use in the case of a fire, you'll burn. Do not use in the case of a medical emergency, the person will be caught in greater peril. Do not use in case of a crime, you're trapped with a criminal (probably armed and now angry). The emergency brake should be saved for those times when the train is in the station and somebody is in danger, either caught in the door or fallen onto the tracks.
As Neistat clearly illustrates this a is a problem of signage and communication. What the agencies think of as clear communication just has the average commuter confused. Money quote from the Gothamist:
According to the Times, straphangers should pull the brake if "someone gets caught between the train's closing doors, or between subway cars, and is about to be dragged to an unenviable fate." In other circumstances, pulling the cord could make it harder for help to arrive. That's what happened on a D train last November when a straphanger fatally stabbed another commuter and frightened passengers pulled the brake. The agency has told Gothamist that when a straphanger pulls the cord, it brings the train to an immediate stop using compressed-air brakes. The train crew must notify a control center, which in turn alerts police. The NYPD then advises the control center on how to respond, and that message is relayed to the train crew. It can take between 5 and 15 minutes for the crew to reset the braking function and get the train moving again.
Commuters pull the emergency brake about 1,000 times per year when there is no clear emergency. In 2009, the agency recorded 15 instances in which straphangers pulled the cord to respond to an emergency, like a sick rider, the paper notes. Some subway riders, like Brooklyn resident Zev David Deans, said the agency should more clearly outline when straphangers should, and shouldn't, use the emergency brake. "They could put it in big letters — 'Pull in case of …' — and then the few reasons why," he said. "If it just says 'emergency,' you're going to pull it for any reason." An MTA NYC Transit spokesman said the current instructions are more than sufficient: "We think that it is clear." (bold mine)

Von Trapp Children Cast in Carrie Underwood's 'The Sound of Music'
Another pertinent and pivotal piece of the puzzle has fallen into place for Carrie Underwood's 'The Sound of Music.' The powers-that-be at the NBC production, which will air live on Dec. 5, have cast the von Trapp children.
A nationwide search was conducted for actors and actresses to fill out the brood of seven.
The children who won the sought after roles of the von Trapp kids are as follows: Ariane Rinehart (Liesl); Michael Nigro (Fredrich); Ella Watts-Gorman (Louisa); Joe West (Kurt); Sophia Caruso (Brigitta); Grace Rundhaug (Marta); and Peyton Ella as Gretl.
Underwood, who is playing the lead role of Maria, posed with the her new castmates. What a handsome bunch, with Underwood and her dynamite smile as the centerpiece of the image.
'True Blood' star Stephen Moyer will play Captain von Trapp, rounding out the key cast.
Other details about the production have been revealed, such as the fact that it will stage in Long Island, as opposed to NYC proper. Everything will be live, including any possible mistakes, which will not be edited out.
See the first commercial for the event here and Underwood-as-Maria here. The soundtrack is due out Dec. 3, two days prior to the broadcast, as well. It'll be Dec. 5 before you know it.

Maine man revived by emergency workers, then arrested on drug, weapon charges
BANGOR, Maine (AP) � Bangor police helped save a man's life � then arrested him.
Officials say police officer Jeremy Brock provided CPR on a motionless man before paramedics arrived to fully revive the man in the Mansfield Stadium parking lot on Wednesday. Police later visited the man at a hospital emergency room following the discovery of pills and a switchblade knife.
Police say the man, 34-year-old Michael Kashey of Dedham, faces charges of possession of heroin, trafficking drugs and trafficking knives, in addition to outstanding warrants.
Police say the man's girlfriend told them that he injected heroin before losing consciousness. He's currently jailed, and it's unclear if he has an attorney.

Albert Hanley Pefley Sr., Peosta, Iowa, went home for eternal rest after a short battle with Burkitt's Lymphoma, complicated by a recent stroke. He passed away in the home of his daughter, Jill Zintz, Plano, Iowa, on Aug. 15, 2007. He was surrounded by family as he was ushered by his angels to Heaven to spend the rest of eternity with Jesus and passed loved ones.
"Ab" was born on Aug. 18, 1931, at home on the family farm near Lagro, to Homer and Flossie Lewis-Pefley. His mother often told the story of placing her small-for-size infant son in a shoebox in the bottom of an open bureau drawer as a makeshift cradle.
His parents and grandparents were farmers and instilled a deep love of nature and respect of the land in him. He told a story of himself as a child of raiding the farm kitchen drawer for spoons and "plowing" a small spot in his mother's garden. He would then ask his Mom for any seed or bean she could spare so that he could "farm" a spot. Although she was not enthused about transforming her flatware into "farm equipment," his mother supported his love for farming and supplied what he needed so that he could plant, nurture, and harvest "his crop."
He was a very spiritual person and credits this to his Grandfather Lewis. He would often talk of a special memory of his baptism in the Salamonie River in Indiana as a young boy alongside his brother, Robert. Currently, he attended the Word of Life Church in Dubuque, Iowa, where he helped with the Angel Food Outreach Program and participated in the Christian Mens' breakfast group. He was always willing to lend a hand in any committee or activity that needed volunteers. In his earlier years, he volunteered as a church usher and passionately taught Sunday school. He believed strongly in blood donation at the Red Cross and eagerly sought out donations for the American Heart and Cancer societies, and the Haiti Outreach Project.
After high school graduation, Al enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was stationed in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he managed the sports department on base. It was there that he met and befriended Billy Martin and Zack Monroe, who went on to play professional baseball.
After his military discharge, he attended and graduated from Purdue University with a degree in agriculture-business. While in college, he met Barbara Schomers and they married soon after his graduation. To this union, they were blessed with five children, Al PefleyJr., Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Debbie Wardlow, Centerville, Iowa, Kim Klinkhammer, Dubuque, Iowa, Jill Zintz, Plano, Iowa, and Jeff Pefley, Dubuque, Iowa.
Al's hobbies included barbecuing, fishing, gardening, golfing, woodworking, antiquing, furniture restoration and Bible study. He was active with Emmaus, Lions Club, Jaycees, Odd Fellow Lodge, Disciples and many church committees. In addition to volunteering at church, the Dubuque Rescue Mission and Food for the Soul, Al always "loved God's people" and never knew a stranger. Al often sought out those in need and befriended them, never forgetting a face or a name.
Al is preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Dean, and an infant stillborn brother, Henry.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara, Peosta, Iowa; brothers, Harvey, Kokomo, and Robert, Lagro; a sister, Bonnie Ramey, LaFontaine; his children; three sons-in-law, Sean Wardlow, Tim Klinkhammer and Bill Zintz; and 13 grandchildren, Crystal, Caitlyn and Nick Howe, Stephen and Sawyer Wardlow, Tony, Troy, Tara and Tyler Furlin, Brittney and Hilary Morris and Joe and Chloe Zintz.

Applied Research Laboratory approved by UH Board of RegentsUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Associate VP for External Affairs and University Relations
HILO — Today, at its monthly meeting held at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, the Board of Regents (BOR) approved the contract for the Applied Research Laboratory(ARL), a University-Affiliated Research Center of the United States Navy(UARC). The ARL will be administratively located at the UH System, with its executive director reporting to System Vice President for Research Jim Gaines.
The establishment of the ARL was provisionally approved by the BOR in November 2004, subject to adequate consultation and negotiation of a contract. In 2006, the Regents conducted a special meeting on the ARL, at which they received testimony from members of the university and the community. The BOR also received testimony at today's meeting prior to making its decision.
In February 2006, UH President David McClain recommended that an ARL be established at the UH System level, and not perform any classified research during its first three years. The ARL will involve sole source provision — via "task orders" — of UH scientists' expertise in astronomy, oceanography, advanced electro-optical systems, and communications systems.
Task orders can be received from the U.S. Navy, or any other federal agency, such as the National Science Foundation and NASA. The contract funds the ARL for three years, with an option for renewal for an additional two years, for a total of five years. It is estimated that a maximum of $10 million per year in task orders will be funded, for a total of $50 million. More information about the ARL can be found at www.hawaii.edu/arl.

Ohio State study: Targeted ovarian cancer therapy not cost-effective
An analysis conducted by Ohio State University cancer researchers has found that adding the targeted therapy bevacizumab to the treatment of patients with advanced ovarian cancer is not cost effective. The findings comparing the relative value of various clinical strategies will be published online March 7 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The researchers performed a cost-effectiveness analysis looking at a clinical trial conducted by the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) studying the use of bevacizumab along with standard chemotherapy for patients with advanced ovarian cancer, said first author Dr. David E. Cohn, a gynecologic surgical oncologist and researcher at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).
Bevacizumab is a novel targeted therapy designed to inhibit angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels develop and carry vital nutrients to a tumor.
Although a discussion regarding cost-effectiveness of a potentially life-extending intervention invariably suggests the rationing of limited health care resources, the intent of this study was to provide a framework with which to evaluate the pending results of a clinical trial of three different interventions for ovarian cancer, said Cohn.
"We do not suggest that bevacizumab, also known by the brand name Avastin, should be withheld from a patient with ovarian cancer, but rather argue that studies evaluating the effectiveness of new treatments should also be interpreted with consideration of the expense," says Cohn, who collaborated with Dr. J. Michael Straughn Jr., an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The results of the randomized phase III GOG clinical trial demonstrated an additional 3.8 months of progression-free survival when maintenance bevacizumab was added for about one year following treatment with standard chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel along with bevacizumab.
"We put together a model looking at the variety of treatment arms on this clinical trial, each of which included 600 patients," said Cohn. "Given the fact that the addition of the drug was associated with 3.8 months of additional survival without cancer, we set out to determine whether or not that benefit of survival was justified by the expense of the drug."
The model showed that standard chemotherapy for patients in the clinical trial would cost $2.5 million, compared to $78.3 million for patients who were treated with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab, plus additional maintenance treatments of bevacizumab for almost one year.
Bevacizumab has been used in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved it for the treatment of colorectal, lung, breast, brain (glioblastoma) and renal cell cancers.
Typically each treatment with bevacizumab costs $5,000, with most of those costs directly attributable to the cost of the drug, Cohn said.
Effectiveness was defined as months of progression-free survival, and costs were calculated as total costs per strategy. Cost-effectiveness strategies were defined as the cost per year of progression-free survival. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was defined as the costs per progression-free life-year saved.
"Ultimately, we found that if you reduced the drug cost to 25 percent of the baseline, it does become cost effective to treat patients with bevacizumab," said Cohn. "Or, if the survival could be substantially increased above the 3.8 months of progression-free survival, that could lead to cost-effective treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer."
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer, with almost 14,000 women expected to die from the disease this year, according to the American Cancer Society.
"It is anticipated that in the future, there will be increased scrutiny regarding the individual and societal costs of an effective medication," said Cohn. "We hope that future clinical trials will incorporate the prospective collection of cost, toxicity and quality-of-life data to allow for a fully informed interpretation of the results."

text: The mouth almighty is a freshwater fish typically found in ponds and slow-moving waters of northern Australia. It lurks in dense vegetation, waiting motionless for its next meal. As the name implies, this ambush predator has a large mouth used to engulf any small fish or invertebrate that wanders too close. However, this cavernous mouth also has a gentler function. When breeding, it is the male that will take up the female's sack of eggs and incubate them in his mouth for about two weeks. After the eggs hatch, the developing fry will continue to stay in the safety of the male's mouth for about another week. During this time, the male does not eat. The mouth almighty is part of the cardinalfish family. This family is primarily marine, but this is one of the freshwater species. Mouthbrooding is found in many of the species of cardinalfish, both freshwater and marine. Did You Know? Males brood the eggs in their mouth. Diet Its large mouth allows this predator to ambush and swallow crustaceans, small fish and insects. Size Approximately 4 to 6 inches Range Coastal drainages in northern/northeastern Australia (from the Fitzroy River to Mackay in Queensland) Population Status These fish are common in their range. Predators Larger fish, as well as reptiles and birds large enough to swallow them Back to the Top

Christophe&Loredana necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 98 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
We are a small distributor of mobile phones (cell phones) and we would like to take the big jump and venture into the online sales. The place is very competitive and our difference will be to have quite a lot of funky mobile phones with colours that you might not get elsewhere or with limited editions, newly lauched models, etc... in one word a foneparadise!!
The overall design of the site will be fuschia pink/black/ and white. You can get an idea by checking our site http://www.foneparadise.com and you get the general feel. Please do not take notice of the logo we put there. It is a quick mock-up, as is the general design. Please be as creative and innovative as possible.
Whilst the site will feature the colour pink quite heavily we do not want to alienate our male audience, so it needs to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. Cell phones are mass-market goods and therefore we need to embrace as wide an audience as possible.
If anything our audience might be between 15 and 50-year old which is pretty wide...
Our name Foneparadise.com must feature in our logo.
In terms of creativity you can chose as you please.
If you wish you can include a phrase underneath like "everything mobile" or something similar.
The logo must be in Photoshop format.
Bear in mind the the background of the logo will be pink.
It would be nice to get a variety of ideas (not all being palm trees.. )
Good luck!
We look forward to seeing your entries.

Would Xocai (MXI Corp) the Chocolate Healthy Company, with "Nano Cacao" Technology, ever consider Incorporating an Essential-Oil Line with flaxseed oil, olive oil, hazelnut oil, Clove Oil (Syzygium aromaticum), Oregano Oil (Origanum vulgare), Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradisi), for Retail Sales in Sunnyvale, CA Download Unborn Episode 5? Maybe, anything is likely. 801-809-7766 Any oil — of any kind — can be therapeutic…
At least once a week someone will email me asking "Are your oils therapeutic grade Download mf.dll? You don't state that on the website." My instinct is to ask "What do you mean by therapeutic grade?" Asking the question tends to drive away the correspondent, though Download one-shot steamboard. https://www.naturesgift.com/
To answer that question, first you must define what is meant by "therapeutic grade essential oils." What does it really mean Download the Potato Symphony? There is no organization that oversees therapeutic quality so the definition is really up for grabs. It can be what you make it. This is the reason that at Nature's Gift we do not make the claim that our oils are "therapeutic grade" since, in this country, the term is meaningless, and often used as justmarketing hype Download Tomb Raider.

Nicole Robinson
Class of 2011
Major/Minor: Biology, Chemistry
"Music has always been a really good release and source of friendship for me. Everything I know about percussion I learned at Washington College," says Nicole Robinson `11.
Nicole began percussion lessons with Assistant Professor of Music Kenneth Schweitzer her freshman year. Already proficient on piano and guitar, she began playing in the Afro-Cuban Ensemble using hand drums and a traditional wooden box instrument. Then she honed her new skills in a beginner jazz combo; their first gig was at the local public library. Eventually Nicole learned to play a drum set and performed with the Big Band and Jazz Combo groups.
"It's all about playing different rhythms," says Nicole, who also learned the congas, bongos, bata drums, clave and shekere. "Afro-Cuban music is in a different time signature – it's usually in a count of three and has a lot of crazy poly-rhythms."
In her senior year Nicole enrolled in Music Technology, a course taught by Schweitzer in the new Keyboard and Technology Laboratory of the Gibson Center for the Arts. Using the latest MIDI controllers and Ableton Live software, she experimented with her own compositions, recording, and mixing music and video.
"Beyond music, I've always been passionate about the environment," observes Nicole, a biology major with a chemistry minor. In her sophomore year she joined the Student Environmental Alliance (SEA) to help raise awareness of environmental issues on campus and in the region. A highlight was traveling to the Florida Everglades to help clear trails and camp out.
The summer before her senior year, Nicole interned for credit with the Sassafras River Association, just north of Chestertown. Water quality monitoring with the Riverkeeper included boat trips to measure pH and dissolved oxygen levels. This research shaped her "mini-thesis" about how fertilizer and farm waste produce algae blooms that result in fish kills.
Currently Nicole has a paid internship with the Frederick County Office of Sustainability and Environmental Resources, working for the Chesapeake Conservation Corps. Funded by theChesapeake Bay Trust, this program offers career and leadership training for people interested inenvironmental careers.
"All my science courses, internships, SEA, and what I'm doing now are my stepping stones into environmental conservation and education," she says. "Last May I also bought a drum kit so that I can keep playing on my own and stay involved in the music scene."
Valedictorian of her class, Nicole received the Biology Department Special Recognition Award and the Jane Huston Goodfellow Memorial Prize for scholastic excellence as a science major who has "an abiding appreciation of the arts and humanities."

Wine or Milk?
As the Festival of Pesach approaches Jews throughout the world not only prepare wine and matzot for their own holiday celebration but care for others as well. Whether it is called Kimcha DaPischa or Maot Chittin, the campaign conducted in each community has the same purpose to provide indigent families with their basic holiday needs.
The story is told about a Jew in the Lithuanian community of Slutsk a century ago who came to the spiritual head of the community, the renowned Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, to receive help from the communal fund. Upon receiving funds to purchase matzot he asked the rabbi if it was possible to fulfill the mitzvah of the four cups on Seder night with milk instead of wine. Shocked by the question the rabbi called to his wife to give the man a large sum of money from the fund to purchase wine. She did as instructed but after the grateful man left she asked her husband why the man was given so much money when the wine he needed did not cost so much.
The response of the rabbi was an expression of the brilliance and sensitivity of this Torah giant. "If he was planning to use milk for the four cups," he said, "it means that he couldnt afford to purchase meat for the meal, and it was necessary for us to supply him with money for that as well."
