Luchen Kugel Aka Jewish Noodle Pudding - A Recipe For Everyone Who Likes Noodles

Luchen Kugel also known as Jewish Noodle Pudding, is an absolute favorite in most Jewish homes. Mothers teach their daughters, then daughters teach their daughters and the technique of making the best Luchen Kugel proceeds down family lines, including today, teaching sons.

This recipe is so easy to make, it will quickly become one of your family favorites. It is a great side, goes well with meat or a salad, and many people like me, enjoy eating it as a snack.
You need:

½ bag Large Egg Noodles
½ stick Butter or Margarine
1 Egg
Sugar to taste
Regular or Golden Raisins
Optional: chopped Apples
Nice casserole dish you can put in the oven
Directions:
1. Boil the noodles in salt water until done.
2. Drain the noodles then run hot water over them and drain well again.
3. Melt butter or margarine in flat casserole dish. I prefer much more butter than I have indicated above, so play with it. You might like it real buttery, too.
4. Put all of the noodles in a bowl and add half of the melted butter or margarine.
5. Beat the egg and pour mixture over the noodles, stirring well.
6. Add sugar and raisins to taste, and if you like, add some chopped apples.
7. Stir well, taste again and adjust the taste to your liking if you need to.
8. Pour the mixture into a flat casserole dish you have lightly greased with oil or butter.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 / 2 hour until golden and crusty. If it isn't crusty enough, put it back into the oven a while longer and check regularly until the crust is the way you like it.

SERVE the Kugel or Pudding hot if you can, but eating it cold is just as good. I hope you enjoy.

Kids Math

Some kids find maths really challenging. There are lots of reasons for this, children have a set of natural abilities - they may be better at arts subjects or language subjects than at the sciences/ mathematics. They may even suffer from dyscalculia (numerical dyslexia).  Here are our top ten tips to help your child progress with mathematics:

1. Practice mental maths with your child. Children can't get too reliant on a calculator or a pencil and paper. Practice counting numbers of objects, the number of steps it takes to get to school, or calculate the result of a multiplication, division, addition or subtraction.
2. Play games that involve counting. Monopoly, darts, snooker for example.
3. Encourage your child to keep track of and save their pocket money. Work out with your child how long it will take them to be able to afford a toy.
4. Apply maths to your child's activities. If your child is mad about dinosaurs, talk with them about widths, sizes, weights, time etc.
5. Encourage your child to play with toys that  involve counting. A cash register, an abacus, a tape measure, a pack of cards etc.
6. Get Creative. Point out patterns and regular shapes in buildings, clouds, animals, shells, tiles. Show them how to use regular shapes to make more complicated shapes - for example draw a person using circles, squares, triangles and lines.
7. Time things. Use digital and analogue clocks, guess how long something will take, work out how long it is until their favourite show is on the television. How many days is it till the weekend, or the next holiday?
8. Cook things. Use ingredients in recipes to show your child how volumes, weights and measures work. Calculate the time to cook based on the amounts in the recipe and set the timer on a countdown.
9. Work out your family tree and your how your child relates to distant relatives.
10. Encourage your child to talk to their friends and discuss what they've learned and how to work things out. This will really help them to remember things.

MacBook Pro - What's New?

MacBook pro is mainly a family or a new line of Macintosh notebook or portable computer, produced by the renowned Apple Inc. This new line of portable computers was first introduced in the year 2006, which indeed replaced the PowerBook G4 and eventually, the second model introduced after the iMac in the Apple-Intel transition. It is certainly one of the high end products of the MacBook family.

Currently, the MacBook pro family consists of models which mainly come in three sizes, 13, 15 and 17 inches respectively. The family consists of unibody models made of single block aluminum; and they certainly are the thinnest. The MacBook Pro family has really evolved since it was first launched in the year 2006; and the latest models are really upgraded and more revised versions compared to its earlier counterparts.

Apple introduced an upgraded version of the MacBook Pro family in the year 2010 which included many added features to make the models one of their kind, in terms of performance and design. The latest editions include Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 processors for their 15 inch and 17 inch models, though the 13 inch model still includes the Core 2 Duo processors as it was included in the earlier versions. The upgraded models are lighter and almost feature the original design including dye cut aluminum unibody technique; but there are certainly some latest inclusions in the models. They are as follows:

Glass multi touch trackpad: the latest editions of the MacBooks comprise of the new generation trackpads. The key feature of these trackpads is certainly the glass pad without any button. The tactile sensation is much better and it can be easily operated with a single touch of a finger. The surface is much smoother and with the removal of the buttons, the pad space will increase by 39%. It also functions like the iPhone in terms of multitouch gestures along with a 4 finger swap, for switching between applications like the COMMAND+TAB function.

LED screen: this is also a latest addition in the MacBooks of the MacBook pro line. The latest models use LED display technology, which eventually allows the screen to be much lighter and thinner; and it also provides them a glossy finish.

Better graphics: the new chipsets of the MacBook line include NVIDIA GeForce 9400M processor which provides sufficient power to run the applications and games with a much better graphic quality. It also provides power to run for 5 hrs on a single charge.
Mini display port: this particular port which comes with all the new editions of the MacBook pro family certainly has VGA and DVI displays due to a special optional adaptor. The most amazing part of it is that it is fully digital.

With all these attractive features included, the latest MacBooks come with an internal 160 GB to 250 GB of hard drive along with 2 GB of RAM, which is certainly great.

Math Fluency - Reasoning and Understanding

According to the Merriam Webster's Dictionary, to be fluent is "to be capable of moving with ease and grace, effortlessly smooth and flowing, and showing mastery of a subject or skill." It could also be defined as the ability to use mathematics accurately, efficiently, and effortlessly.

What is math fluency?

Math fluency means knowing the right method to correctly solve a mathematical problem with ease and in a relatively short period of time. It is also being comfortable with different approaches to solving a giving problem. The more fluent a person becomes in math, the better and smoother he/she becomes in accurately applying mathematical concepts to real life situations. Reaching good fluency in math requires proper, meaningful and consistent practice. Knowing how to apply a formula to solve a math problem does not necessarily mean one is good in math. It takes much more than applying a math formula to be considered good. Research shows that to be fluent in math, children should be able to accurately answer math questions within 2 seconds.
Reasoning and understanding of concept

A student is considered fluent if he/she is able to:

• Explain the solution process step by step and explain the reason for each step.
• Explain the formula and know how the formula came about.
• Use alternate methods to solve a problem, if one exists.

Building Blocks
It is very important to completely understand the basic building blocks of math in order to achieve mastery of the subject. One should have mastered the concepts of adding, subtracting, multiplication and division before moving on to higher math levels. Although one understands how to perform calculation and has some fluency in math facts, he/she still needs continuous practice. Understanding is essential for math fluency, but not enough; practice and repetition is what creates perfection.
If you are able to establish a link between the math operations and build on them as you advance, you should be able to master the subject with ease.

Apple 13-Inch MacBook Air Vs. Sony VAIO Pro 13

In one corner, we have a 13-inch MacBook Air from Apple and in the other corner, we have the VAIO Pro 13 from Sony Does the Sony VAIO Pro 13 have everything to take down the exciting champion Apple 13-inch MacBook Air?

Sony is set to bring its new refreshed design with an extraordinary touch-screen technology running on Windows 8. Apple continues with its smooth iconic look which feels more dated this time. It's strongest ability is it's 14-hour battery life.

Round 1: Design
VAIO 13 Pro: Sony brings a classy design, covered with a magnesium chassis running on Windows 8. It is as light as a feather as it weighs only 453 grams. The display has a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution but its moving functions are causing small problems. The hinges gave us a difficult experience when we wanted to adjust the lid. Sony did a great job incorporating the display in thin bezel.

MacBook Air 13-inch: Apple continued with its classic design, a full aluminium body with zero flex and smooth hinges that allows adjusting the lid easily. It still feels premium but it is getting bit dated with its thicker bezel on the screen. The display features 1440 x 900 pixel resolution.
We declared the first round a tie.

Round 2: Features
VAIO Pro 13: What separates this device from its toughest competitor, the MacBook Air, is its' 1080p display with touch-screen feature, which feels more natural to interact with your ultrabook screen. It has full size HDMI port and NFC support, as well. The most interesting part is that Sony has decided to place another USB port on the power adapter.
MacBook Air 13-inch: Apple decided not to include a touch-screen feature. You need a dongle to get any videos from your MacBook Air. However, the faster Wi-Fi 802.11 has been included into this ultrabook. The benefit here is that you can install both Windows and Mac OS on this machine but still our judges give this round to Sony VAIO.

Round 3: Performance
The Sony ultrabook is equipped with 1.5GHz i7 Core processor along with 8GB of RAM and the MacBook Air had 1.3GHz i5 Core processor with 4GB of RAM.
In our multimedia multitasking performance test, the MacBook Air beat the Sony VAIO Pro and it also performed better in iTunes encoding tests. The VAIO Pro came on top in Adobe Photoshop image processing test, while in hand brake multitasking test they give equal result. Both ultrabooks gave nearly similar results and we are calling this round a tie.

Round 4: Battery Life
In the video drain test that is usually taken to see the battery life, the VAIO Pro 13 gave impressive results with almost 9 hours. Sony gives you the ability to upgrade the battery for $150 by buying an extra external battery. The MacBook Air, gave over 14 hours battery life and we conclude that Apple gave new standards in the ultrabook industry. Apple takes this round with a major difference.

Round 5: Price
Sony's VAIO Pro 13 base model with 1,6GHz Core i5 processor and 4GB of RAM ships for $1,249 including the 1080p touch-screen The MacBook Air starts at $1,099 for its base model that has 1.3GHz Core i5 processor along with 4GB of RAM. However, Apple has the machine that has better value than its competitor and as you can see by its performance, this base ultrabook version can measure up with the i7 processor VAIO Pro 13 version. This round went to Apple MacBook Air.
We gave the throne to Apple's MacBook Air but we can assure you that the difference is slight and if you decide to buy the Sony VAIO Pro 13 you will not be disappointed.

Eating Dehydrated Food: Chicken Veggie Alfredo Pasta Dish

What comes to your mind when you think of eating dehydrated food? Huh, dehydrated what? This just might be the very first thought entering your mind. Eating food that could be stored for up to 15+ years. Okay, we are all use to live, fresh, now food. But, this is the exact concept and science behind one American company that grows and packages and distributes fresh quality food for now or later.
For years they have provided the best gourmet meals to thousands for self storage against times of disasters and emergencies, or for plain old future use, or to eat right now. Just check out one of their entrees below. For this author, It was different opening a package of sealed dehydrated cheese sauce and veggies and pasta. Thinking to myself:

"Is this going to taste good or at all, LOL?"

But, man, did it taste like I was at Olive Garden! So, here is just one of their incredible meals:
Featuring a rich creamy alfredo sauce that will have your taste buds jumping for joy. The chicken veggie alfredo pasta dish makes an elegant meal sure to please your hungry family any day of the week!

Chicken Veggie Alfredo Pasta

1. Fusilli Pasta
2. Cheese Mix with veggies

Easy to prepare directions:

• Pasta: Bring 8 cups rolling water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 10 minutes.
• Sauce: Bring 2 cups of water to rolling boil. reduce heat to medium. Add sauce mix. Keep at a low rolling boil and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Once pasta is done, add sauce to pasta and enjoy a great gourmet creamy alfredo meal.

Experiencing this for the first time made me take another look at the idea of having dehydrated food in our pantry. You never know when you are going to have a rainy day or someone else will and there you have a supply of the best food from the best ingredients in the world to give them.
So, what is the catch? It is just great food, and who doesn't like great food? The CONCEPT too of food security and preparedness is HUGE as well. Having an emergency food supply around, is never a bad idea. Think about it.

Enjoy your pasta,

Apple MacBook Pro Spring 2010 - Future-Proof MacBook Pro

If it's not broke, don't fix it, which is exactly what Apple has done with the Apple MacBook Pro Spring 2010 laptop's design. Featuring the same cool aluminum uni-body chassis of its 2009 predecessor the laptop looks as great as it always did. Packing in a 15.4-inch display the laptop offers plenty of real-estate. However, the laptop retains the same normal sized chiclet-style keyboard as other Apple laptops (no numeric keypad). This makes for plenty of space left over for the large glass-covered track-pad and very comfortable typing experience.

The main difference between the Apple MacBook Pro Spring 2010 and its 2009 version is that it now uses an Intel Core i7 M620 processor and a higher-end Nvidia GT 330M discrete graphics to go with Intel's standard GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics. With 4GB of DDR3 memory and a 500GB hard disk drive, the laptop is very stable, very fast and very responsive. At 5.5 pounds the laptop is still more or less the same weight but the newer components offer better performance and overall energy efficiency.

This is mainly shown by the fact that battery life is much better than its predecessor. While the 2009 version only got about five hours or so on a single charge, the Apple MacBook Pro Spring 2010 gets about six hours of battery life. While this may not seem like much, bear in mind that the components for the 2010 laptop are several times more powerful than the 2009 version. The battery is non-removable though while other ports and connections remain the same with a mini displayport, a Firewire 800 port, two USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet LAN port, an SD card reader, stereo speakers and audio jacks. Connectivity is still the same powerful 802.11 b/g/n wireless wi-fi and Bluetooth while the laptop also packs in a DVD burner for good measure.

Performance for the Apple MacBook Pro Spring 2010 is definitely the highlight of the 2010 revamp as it can now handle everything. While you may have to tweak down the details and settings somewhat, the new discrete graphics allows you to play almost any game in the market. In addition to this, Apple have included an automatic graphics switching feature which switches the graphics to the discrete graphics when needed and switches back down to the more power-saving integrated graphics. The track-pad also offers inertial scrolling much like the iPhone and iPad, increasing the number of multi-touch controls at the same time.

Overall, the Apple MacBook Pro Spring 2010 is an awesome component revamp for an already awesome laptop. While it may lack HDMI and Blu-ray it more than makes up for it with a great design, awesome performance and many more easy to use features. This makes it a great future-proofed MacBook Pro laptop to get, especially if you're planning to stay with just one laptop for the next three to five years.

Traveling Teddy Bears Show Me the Math - Part 2 - Literacy and Math

The area of mathematics does not function in isolation. The use of literacy skills in the form of the written word, oral communication and media allow for active problem solving within the context of the mathematics curriculum. Traveling teddy bears is a means by which students are actively engaged in their own learning. The reason for this is because the class set of teddy bears is traveling around the world and the various mathematical concepts are adapted within the class setting, to the information that arrives in the classroom, as a result of the teddy bear travels.

Before delving into the integration of literacy and math, the word, literacy, needs to be defined. There are 4 areas within the Language curriculum: Reading, Writing, Oral Language and Media. According to Dictionary.com, literacy makes direct reference to the state of being literate [having knowledge and skill] in the areas of reading and writing. Literacy also refer to ones knowledge in a particular area. For example: media literacy. The oral language form refers to a student's ability to communicate and express ideas and thoughts using the spoken word. These 4 areas, defined in the language curriculum, are easily integrated into the mathematics curriculum.

What further facilitates the combination of literacy and math is the incorporation of the information received from the traveling teddy bears: as the teddy bears experience the world, their traveling companions send back adventure stories to the classroom, or back to the student via email.

Iggy, the teddy bear was excited about his new journey. The traveling companion packed up his journal, bought him a warm sweater, and together with his travel bag, Iggy and the first traveling companion set off for California. There they enjoyed the sunsets and the beaches. After staying a couple of days, Iggy met a couple of other travelers who were going on a cruise to the Antarctic, so he was invited to tag along. What an adventure this was going to be for Iggy. One of their stops was in Buenos Aires, South America. Iggy could hardly contain his excitement when he had his picture taken with a number of dolls and toys that he befriended at one of the stores. Later, after having arrived in Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost city in the world, Iggy had his photo taken on a mail box and with a member of the cruise ship. They cruised across Cape Horn, saw icebergs, traveled in a zodiac to see the whales, and landed on Antarctica to visit with Gentoo penguins, sea lions and other inhabitants. Iggy wanted to travel the penguin highways, but the traveling companions thought it best not to ride those slippery slopes.

Using the information in Iggy's story, possible math questions for the student to answer might look something like this. How long did it take for Iggy to travel from Point A to Point B? What was the distance traveled by Iggy the teddy bear? What temperatures did Iggy experience at his various destinations? [this might involve further research if the traveling companion did not record it in the teddy bear's journal] What are penguin highways and what is the average distance of a penguin highway? What is the distance between Ushuaia and Antarctica? How cold is the water where Iggy traveled? How does that compare with the temperatures experienced where you live? Gather data of dates, locations, times, and temperatures during Iggy's travels. Graph results using bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs. Do you notice patterns with your results?

During the course of answering the math related questions, the student would be using reading [reading the problem, research as required by the problem], writing [using the written word to record information], and oral language to communicate the results of the problem. As a possible extension to this math problem, a media presentation put together to communicate this information into a math story would round out the literacy and math connection.

Teddy bears and their travels not only benefit the students, but their ownership of the bears creates a sense of commitment to the project and willingness to want to work with information about their teddy bears. Teachers benefit because their students are motivated. Another benefit to teachers is the reduction in the number of evaluative devices required to assess the student: a multi-step mathematics problem integrates literacy concepts and math concepts thereby reducing the need for separate assessment vehicles. By following this approach, aspects of reading, writing, oral communication and media literacy can be evaluated at the same time assessment is being made of the math concepts being taught.

Mathematics is often viewed as a separate entity in the curriculum. By incorporating stories and adventures of teddy bear travels into the math curriculum, a number of benefits accrue: student communication of the results integrates the literacy component of the curriculum, it enhances and motivates student learning, and the integration reduces the number of assessment vehicles required by teachers in the evaluation of their students.
