Presolar grains are minerals that are older than anything else in our Solar System. They formed before the birth of our Solar System and a small fraction survived in primitive asteroids and comets. We extract presolar grains from fragments of these objects: unaltered meteorites, interplanetary dust particles and comet dust. We study the elemental and isotopic compositions of presolar grains to understand the presolar history of meteoritic matter. The interdisciplinary field of presolar grain research informally also called Astrophysics in the Laboratory is delivering a wealth of information on stars and our Galaxy that are not accessible through astronomical observations. One of our main motivations to study presolar grains, a surviving fraction of the source materials of our Solar System, is to improve our understanding of the history of our Galaxy.
The Robert A. Pritzker Center for Meteoritics and Polar Studies provides meteorite identifications as an educational service and public outreach activity to the general public. Meteorites are extremely rare and there are surprisingly many terrestrial rocks that look like meteorites - so-called "meteorwrongs". It is therefore important to critically evaluate your rock yourself before contacting us. We have prepared a meteorite identification checklist and an identification request form with frequently asked questions about meteorite identifications. This link will also provide you with further information on how to proceed with your request.
The Bird Division accepts salvaged specimens and turns them into scientific specimens for research purposes. If you find a dead bird, pick it up (use gloves if that makes you feel more comfortable), place it in a ziplock bag, write a note with the following information on it and place it in the ziplock bag (very specific information on where was the bird found, the date you found the bird, and any other details you think we might need to know to maximize the value of the bird for scientific purposes), and put the bird in the freezer if you are not bringing it immediately into the museum. Then give the Bird Division a call or send us an e-mail message to arrange a time for you to drop the specimen off at Field Museum.
Please note that native birds living within the State of Illinois are protected either by state, federal, or international laws, even when they are dead. It is illegal for private citizens to possess most native birds, either in whole or in part (including skulls, bones, and even feathers), except under terms of special permits or by exemptions under hunting laws and licenses. Therefore, collecting most bird specimens, either alive or dead, is illegal without proper permits and licenses. Fines and penalties for violating such regulations can amount to thousands of dollars and can include the possibility of jail time, depending on the severity of the infraction.
A mammal is a vertebrate animal with hair and glands to produce milk for feeding its young. Their middle ears include three bones--two of these were jaw bones in their reptilian ancestors. Mammals are also warm-blooded and have a four-chambered heart, but these traits are shared with unrelated animals (birds and theropods). The ancestors of modern mammals lived in the Triassic Period, in the early stages of the Age of Reptiles.

Bates Motel Episode 106
"The Truth"
Written By: Carlton Cuse & Kerry Ehrin
Directed By: Tucker Gates
Original Airdate: 22 April 2013
In This Episode...
After being confronted with the truth about her boyfriend, Norma is in shock. She heads for her car to try to get away, but Norman won't let her. He actually dives through the open window of the car and fights her for control of the steering wheel. Eventually, Norman wins and throws the car keys out the window. Norman calms her down and promises that Shelby won't get away with it. Now that Norma is composed, she confronts Emma and calms her down. Emma wants to go to the police - or the FBI - immediately. Norma convinces her the best thing is to let Jiao rest first.
With Emma gone and Norma cool-headed again, she decides that no one is going to the police until they find Keith's belt. Dylan and Norman head back to the boat where Jiao was being held and examine every inch of it. The fraternal chatter includes Dylan insisting Norman move in with him to his new apartment on the beach, and insinuating to Norman that it was Mother who killed Sam (Norman's father). Dylan finds the belt and he ditches it into the harbor.
Norma is waiting anxiously for her sons in the dark. Headlights pull up and she runs to the door to greet them. Of course, it is Shelby, not her sons. She fights desperately to hide her fear and disgust for him as he comes toward her with desire in his eyes. She weakly uses her boys as an excuse; Shelby simply suggests they go to the motel. "I can't help it, I love that damn motel." Out of excuses, Norma goes with him to the motel. They start having sex, but Norma is a million miles away. She pulls herself together gets into it, but Shelby hears running and dismounts. Norma claims she doesn't hear anything, but Shelby has his gun drawn and is prowling along the row of rooms. Blood speckles the door of cabin 11, and Shelby pounds on it. Jiao, fresh from the shower, answers the door, sees Shelby, and screams. She run into the woods. Shelby shoots at her but Norma pushes him, causing him to miss. He throws Norma to the ground and pursues Jiao into the woods.
Norma doesn't know what to do. Her boys return and tell her about the belt. The good news rolls right off her as she tells them about Shelby and Jiao. Shelby returns and we assume that Jiao is dead. He takes Dylan's gun and forces the family into the kitchen, where he paces anxiously and tries to figure out what he is going to do. He loves Norma and blames Norman for "sticking his nose where it doesn't belong." This is what enrages Norma. Norman sits quietly, entering his fugue state, until Shelby strikes Norma. Norman tackles Shelby, allowing Dylan to take back his gun. Norman is thrown to the floor and Mother uses her own body as a shield as Shelby and Dylan shoot it out. Dylan gets hit in the arm; Shelby takes a bullet to the thigh. When Norma can't wake Norman up, she drags him out the front door. The stairs are impossible to navigate with dead weight, so she finally calls 911. Meanwhile, the fight inside has moved upstairs. Shelby's wound was more debilitating than Dylan's, but when he came to land the killing blow, Dylan discovered he was out of bullets. He has enough time to get up to his room and reload while Shelby drags himself upstairs.
On the porch, Norman wakes, but has complete amnesia for the last hour or so. He is mobile enough to make it into the car - but Norma realizes she doesn't have her keys. Another bout of hysterics is only quelled by a series of gun flashes from the second floor of the house. They wait with baited breath to see who would emerge from the house the victor. A figure appears. It is bloody, it is limping, it is in bad shape. It is Shelby. He levels his gun at the car - and slides to the ground. It looks like Dylan got him in the eye. He's super-dead. Dylan comes out a few moments later, unharmed save for the earlier bullet wound. Norma embraces him tightly. Who's the favorite now, bitch?
Dylan is adamant that when the police arrive, they tell them everything. Everything. Norma is still hesitant, and finally fills in Dylan on the whole truth. Through flashback, we see what really happened to Sam. He was beating Norma because she "bought more clothes than a Fifth Avenue whore," and Norman went into his fugue state and slammed his father in the head with the blender. Norman was completely unresponsive, so Norma dragged her husband's body to the garage and pulled the shelves down to make it look like an accident. She then put Norman to bed and took a shower. The very first episode opens when Norman pulls out of his fugue state. It is unclear if Norman's hit actually killed his father, or if Norma helped finish the job. I have a hard time believing that a skinny 17-year-old can lay out his old man with a single blow to the head.
This is why Norma is so overprotective of her younger son. She believes that this was likely an isolated incident, but regardless, Norman has no idea of what really happened, and Norma will do anything to keep it that way. Dylan can help her or get out of her way.
Dig It or Bury It?
This was a wonderfully intense episode. It build tension throughout, and yet you got every payoff you wanted. It was so satisfying. I am a little concerned about where we will go from here - this almost feels like a season finale. Are we just going to have a weirdo-patron-of-the-week now? Are we going to go back to that "the whole town is fucked up" gimmick?
The family dynamic in Bates Motel is really wonderfully done. It is a wholly realistic interpretation of a (hopefully) unrealistic family. It actually reminds me of some of the melodramas of classic cinema from the 1940s. The family dynamics of Bates are basically the same - generally ridiculous situations with real familial ties.
Mother Dearest
When Dylan and Norman return from ditching Keith's belt, Dylan tells Norma that Norman will be living with him. Norma tells them about Shelby and Jiao with as much concern as she would rattle off a grocery list; her true worry is the idea of her baby boy leaving her. Sure, a psychopath is on his way to kill them all - but nobody takes her baby away!
The police arrive at the Bates property to deal with the aftermath of the carnage. Maybe now Norma can get back to the quiet life of an innkeeper. Or not.

Two local high school softball teams enter their state playoffs with the same seed but different feelings about how they earned them.
While North Murray's Lady Mountaineers are thrilled to see their season simply continue, Northwest Whitfield's Lady Bruins are upset their season goes on without celebrating another region championship.
Much of that has to do with expectations based on past success.
The Lady Mountaineers were seeded fifth entering the Region 5-3A tournament but finished second last week after getting hot in the losers' bracket of the double-elimination event. The Lady Bruins were seeded second entering the Region 7-4A tournament and ultimately finished in the same position — but they also were within three outs of claiming the region title for the third straight year.
North Murray's outcome equaled excitement. Northwest's situation equaled disappointment.
No matter their region results, both teams have to come back to the middle and get ready for their best-of-three series in the first round of state, which start Wednesday with 5 p.m. doubleheaders. Third games, if necessary, would be played at the same time Thursday.
The Lady Bruins host LaGrange in the Class 4A playoffs, while the Lady Mountaineers host Banks County in the Class 3A playoffs.
North Murray
The Lady Mountaineers (15-18) have overachieved before.
In 2011, North Murray entered the Class 2A state playoffs as a No. 4 seed with a 16-12 record. In 2012, the team entered the Class 3A state playoffs with a 12-16 record as the third seed from Region 5.
The first two rounds of state are best-of-three series, with the remaining eight teams qualifying for a spot in the state tournament in Columbus.
Despite some early success for North Murray, which opened just four years ago, the trip to Columbus has remained elusive. Sophomore third baseman Megan Pittman said reaching the state tournament has been this team's goal "from day one."
A chance to finally make it there starts with Banks County, which lost in the first round of state last season. The Lady Leopards (16-8, according to ga.prepcountry.com) claimed the No. 3 seed from Region 7. The championship in that region was won by Buford, which is ranked second in the country by maxpreps.com.
"Only thing I know right now is (Banks County is) a scrappy bunch," North Murray coach Steve Granger said.
That would be an apt description of the Lady Mountaineers, too.
Playing six games in five days, North Murray overcame a disappointing regular season and won three games against teams with better seeds before finally bowing out in a 12-3 loss to Ringgold in the region championship. North Murray would have had to beat the Lady Tigers — who rolled through the winners' bracket — twice to claim the title.
The tournament ended this past Thursday for North Murray, which won four games and lost two, both to the Lady Tigers. Granger said he "absolutely" was happy with how the team played in the tournament.
Still, he and the Lady Mountaineers would no doubt have liked to be champions, too.
"I think in that last game, we were emotionally and physically drained," Granger said. "It was a tough week playing six games. That's tough for anyone."
While the break between the loss to Ringgold and first game versus Banks is a longer one than the usual between games in the regular season, Granger said it is warranted after playing a flurry of games in a short time span.
"I think with the week we had before, we just needed a few days off," he said. "I gave them the weekend off and then we started practicing Monday. I think the break will work out for us."
Is there a chance it halts the momentum and string of good play for the team?
"As an athlete, we all worry if a break will do that," senior pitcher Kara Deal said. "We're going to practice hard and hopefully the break won't be too much on us."

NCEAS Project 12680
Developing a community vision of cyberinfrastructure needs for coral reef systems science
- Ruth D. Gates
- Mark P. Schildhauer
|Further Information
|23rd—24th October 2013
|Participant List
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Earth Cube Initiative (http://www.nsf.gov/geo/earthcube/) encompasses "transformative concepts and approaches to create integrated data management infrastructures across the Geosciences." To achieve the goal of developing new data and knowledge management systems for the 21st Century, Earth Cube supports initiatives that align these activities with the needs of end user research communities. The Coral Reef Research Community Focuses on a critically important and threatened ecosystem and is extremely diverse from a disciplinary perspective, crossing the boundaries of biological, physical and chemical oceanography, climate science, remote sensing, modeling and engineering. Research in the field spans genomics and ecosystem science, and data generated by these activities crosses broad biological, temporal and spatial scales. Coral reef research data exemplifies many of the challenges that the Earth Cube Initiative is addressing and NSF has agreed to support two workshops to engage this research community. Their aim is to solicit input from end users and data generators on the role that cyber--‐enabled data tools can play in addressing the grand scientific challenges in the field, and in enhancing the value, scope and impact of coral reef systems science.

August 18, 2006
Allergy season is starting again and that's bad news for people allergic to ragweed. Allergists believe this ragweed season will be the worst it's been in 50 years.
Millions of Americans are allergic to the ragweed plant. It carries pollen throughout the air, and causes people to suffer from hayfever.
"We haven't had rain for the last 6-8 weeks. We have only had spouts here and there, and of course that is what's making the yellow flowers grow," said Dr. Narinder Arora, of the Pulmonary Allergy Clinic.
A single ragweed plant contains a billion pollen grains and they can travel up to 700 miles in the wind. It ends up in the eyes, nose, mouth, and even lungs of those who are allergic.
Allergy specialists like Dr. Arora said the average allergy sufferer will feel it right away.
"Itchy eyes, scratchy throat, runny nose, sneezing," said Steven Werner, an allergy sufferer.
Dr. Arora said prevention is the key. Over-the-counter antihistamines and eye drops can help and if worse comes to worse stronger medicines such as nasal steroids can be used.
"I had several inhalers which I had to use every three hours," said Werner.
For those who know they're going to be outside during peak pollen hours, between 5 a.m. and 10 a .m., Dr. Arora recommends you bring a type of allergy emergency kit with you.
"One should also keep an emergency inhaler and a nebulizer at home. At the same time those who react in the seasons of spring and fall should also be tested by an allergist," said Dr. Arora.
Testing could reveal a ragweed allergy you never knew you had.
This year the ragweed season started two weeks early. It will continue until November.

From The Associated Press
Oklahoma's unemployment fell to 5.4 percent last month, thanks in part to job gains in professional and business services, the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission reported Friday.
The rate was an improvement from February's jobless rate of 6.0 percent in Oklahoma, and far better than the national jobless rate in March of 8.2 percent. It also was an improvement from March 2011, when the state unemployment rate was 5.9 percent.
The number of non-farm jobs rose by 2,300 from February to March, with the professional and business services sector — which includes scientific and technical services, administrative jobs and management — adding 3,200 jobs. The greatest job loss was in construction, which had 2,000 fewer employees in March than in February, according to the commission.
The figures show that Oklahoma's total labor force was 1.78 million people in March, with 1.69 million employed and 96,750 filing for unemployment benefits.
While the total labor force fell by 400,000 from February to March, the number filing for unemployment dropped by more than 10,000 from 106,820, according to the OESC.
Job gains also were reported in the mining and logging, manufacturing, transportation and utilities industries.
Fewer jobs were available in industries including the information, financial services, educational and health services, and leisure and hospitality, which includes entertainment, recreation, and hotels and motels.

Parmy Olson, Forbes Staff
I cover agitators and innovators in mobile.
Research in Motion will make a giant leap towards relevance on Wednesday when it unveils a new BlackBerry 10 smartphone and operating system. RIM showed Forbes a demo of the new-look interface earlier this month, and the software looked sleek, efficient and perfect for professionals. But can its much-hyped launch reverse a long-term decline that has beset Research in Motion in the last two years: a share price down by 73%, along with slimming market share and profits?
There are an estimated 80 million BlackBerry users out there, and a good chunk will almost certainly upgrade to the new device over the next two quarters to give RIM a financial boost after months of holding out for BB10. But that may be as good as it gets according to analysts at Ovum, who contend that RIM will continue to suffer from two big problems:
1) The "BYOD" phenomenon, in which companies have given up buying smartphones (read: BlackBerrys) for their own staff, leaving employees to choose their own devices.
2) A struggle to appeal to mainstream consumers.
As IT departments have let employees buy their own smartphones, more of them are choosing iPhones and Android devices over BlackBerrys. BlackBerry phones currently has just 1.1% of the U.S. smartphone market, according to the latest statistics from Kantar Worldpanel, while the iPhone has grown to 51% and Android, 44%.
To appeal to a broader range of consumers, RIM perhaps should have distanced itself from the category of "company phone," yet it shows no signs of doing that with BlackBerry 10, Ovum contends. RIM has touted multitasking, productivity, email contact and calendar applications in its latest teasers for the device, the "best BlackBerry for BlackBerry users," rather than better gaming, content consumption or social networking experience to appeal to a wider audience, says Ovum's lead telecom analyst Jan Dawson.
"We can't fault RIM for wanting to hold onto its 80 million existing subscribers," he says, estimating the Waterloo, Ontario-based company has always sold about half of its devices to new customers, and half to existing BlackBerry user who are upgrading to a newer model. Yet for the last two years, the portion of upgrading BlackBerry users has significantly outweighed the converts — meaning RIM essentially has little choice but to focus on maintaining its existing user base.
To its credit, that user base is strong. The trade-in experts at NextWorth recently pulled together data that showed re-sell values for BlackBerry handsets were not far behind HTC and neck-and-neck with Samsung models, indicating the "dedicated nature of BlackBerrry enthusiasts." (See chart.)
BlackBerry 10 will give RIM a healthy financial boost in the short term, says Dawson, and the company will plod along for a few years yet with its loyal subscriber base, zero debt and some profits.
"But its glory days are past," he adds "and it is only a matter of time before it reaches a natural end."

Will BlackBerry 10 Provide a 'Steve Jobs Moment' for Research In Motion's CEO?
are you out of your damn mind little mama, the price 99-199, the app store will be 25% than the other two ecosystems,if you were to take a look at the phone and do a little research on your iphone you will see that blackberry has come up with the best of both worlds, have you been listening and looking , brutal year for android and iphone because everyone has had a chance to use those devices and figure out that they do a damn thing , and the android is just horrible, YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO BRING UP BATTERY LIFE ABOUT A BLACKBERRY. THAT HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE, LOOK WHO EVER PAID YOU TO TALK BAD ABOUT BLACKBERRY 10,THEY DIDNT GET THEIR MONEY'S WORTH, BU I THANK YOU, CAUSE YOU JUST PISSED OFF EVERYBODY WITH A BLACKBERRY,and made everyone who has been waiting to leave ishyt and androill make up their mind, i saw your little interview at CES, you didn't even look at the phone,and you barely listened to JEFF" you will be one of the late bangwagoners, this only you opinion that apple pays you to write, people are more educated about smart phones now and they are looking for more in a mobile computer, that is blackberry 10, nothing you can write will stop this, NOTHING , now get back to angry birds on you iphone
Hello All,
Do any of you know what QNX can do? Stop slamming RIM. I am going to really laugh when the day comes and all these corporations that adopted BYOD get slammed with a serious virus from these open and unsafe devices!
Wow. I was expecting to see Savitz.
Parmy, once you assertain that the analyst you are about to quote is an idiot, you should move onto something else. Now you look bad. you could have researched the phone and found out that the screen is better than anything else out there, 50% faster than an iPhone 5 and it has Hub, which allows you to see all of your social sites in one glance. This analyst is a fool and you should have spotted this right away.
Yawn…I swear this whole article is posted as a template someplace on the underbelly of the internet.
I have taken a wait and show them attitude. BB10 is going to be huge and sell a lot of phones both to us Crackheads and to those former. QNX is state of the art and is in cars everywhere and the basis for BB10.
These guys act like iOS is new or Andorid is the latest thing. Unix is from 1969 and Linix is from 1983.
iOS is stale and getting towards end of life. Android has so many holes in it I can hack it.
And if I hear on more Palm analogy…
You know never mind…just bring on the dayum phone….
Security anyone
Wow China is 0% did you ever hear of China Mobile? where did you get those stats from..Maybe a hedge fund manager who is short RIM was wishing that was actually true so he get get some return on the fee he is paying you to write this bogus article… Look it that I just Parmied
Well the data point looks silly if you take it back to when RIMM has reign and Appl Android were beginning their steps into handheld device field.RIMM Worlds fastest OS BB10 and the unit price like a pin will drag down Apple over weight,Android slowness,and Samsung cheap manufacturing.RIMM is a surefire winner since it will out date all the products of opponents.What Apple and Android have to offer? They have nothing to beat the RIMM(opppps giga bites,eh?).If they do something to beat BB10 it won't be possible without copyright infringement.I don't care who will be screaming but it's surefire time for RIMM to swim naked.Price tag Rimm and Apple will meet each other at $250 soon.
"…The "BYOD" phenomenon, in which companies have given up buying smartphones (read: BlackBerrys) for their own staff, leaving employees to choose their own devices…"
The BYOD phenom came about because RIM's BlackBerries got behind the curve as far as User Experience is concerned.
Now that they are catching up and even surpassing their competition, I have to ask why I would pay hundreds of dollars for a phone instead of my boss.
BYOD will officially be a dying trend as of noon Wednesday.
DAMN!!!! Parmy, you are talking a factual "beating" from the BB10 crowd……let me know if you need any help getting the license plate of that truckload of BB knowledge that is running all over you in a bad, bad way……..ouch

The hilarious and suspenseful introduction of Detectives Mike Lomax
and Terry Biggs.
Welcome to Familyland, an offshoot of Lamaar Studios. Once a small, Southern California animation house, it has grown into an entertainment conglomerate encompassing movies, television, music, video games, and a sprawling theme park.
When an actor portraying Familyland's beloved mascot, Rambunctious Rabbit, is brutally murdered on park grounds, Lamaar executives are worried that the idyllic image of '50s America represented in Familyland will be shattered. They ask Mike Lomax and his partner Terry Biggs, the LAPD detectives assigned to solve the case, to keep the circumstances surrounding the death of their mascot quiet.
When a second Lamaar employee is killed, Lomax and Biggs uncover a conspiracy to destroy Familyland and settle an unknown vendetta. Still under pressure to keep the case away from the public eye, the detectives are met with a third murder and an outrageous demand: Anyone who associates with Lamaar employees, customers, anyone will be killed.
Bringing a fresh duo of cops to the thriller set, The Rabbit Factory is both suspenseful and satiric; a taut mystery wrapped in sharp, comedic prose.
Eddie Elkins ambled down Fantasy Avenue. A
light breeze penetrated his costume, and he felt
relatively cool inside the furry white rabbit suit.
Of course, these were the balmy days of April. July
and August would be unbearable, but for Eddie, it would
be a small price to pay.
Six weeks ago he had lied, cheated, and bribed his way into the best job in the world. And now, he was Rambo. Rambunctious Rabbit, the most famous character Dean Lamaar ever created. The acknowledged superstar at Lamaar's Familyland.
Eddie waved at the kids as he wandered through the sprawling theme park. Occasionally some wiseass teenager would give him the finger, but for the most part kids loved him.
And Eddie loved kids. In fact, he loved them so much that he was mandated by Megan's Law to register with the Los Angeles police, so they could notify people in his community that he had moved into their neighborhood. But he hadn't registered. Not this time. He had complied ...
The Rabbit Factory is a big, fun read leavened with just enough pathos to balance the humor. No doubt Marshall, who cut his teeth writing TV commercials (which are rarely longer than 60 seconds) could write a novel in less than 600 pages - but not when he's writing in the voice of Mike, the narrator and chief protagonist of The Rabbit Factory, who has a story to tell and is not going to be hurried while telling it - and what a story it is, replete with a large cast of lovable characters, a high body-count (but without any graphically violent scenes) and some well placed stabs at the ethical values of big corporations.
(Reviewed by BookBrowse Review Team).
Full Review (556 words).
Karp's 1st time novelist status belies his experience as a writer - gleaned from
many years as an advertising copyrighter on accounts such as Coca-Cola, Gillette
and Paine Webber (remember the "Thank you Paine Webber ads?), followed by
further time spent as a writer/producer on TV sitcoms such as "Amen", "Baby
Talk" and "Working It Out". He has also written a play, "Squabbles", which
has been performed in over 500 theaters, and a movie, "Just Looking", that was
released in 2000.
He was born and brought up in and around New York City. Graduating with a BA in English during the Vietnam era he spent six months on active duty with the National Guard in Missouri, before signing up as an advertising copyrighter. He spent ...
If you liked The Rabbit Factory, try these:
Palm Beach private investigator Archy McNally takes on the murder of a socialite and uncovers a thorny tangle of blackmail and deceit, south Florida style. Vincent Lardo continues the series started by Lawrence Sanders.
Another pitch-perfect mystery in a series that never disappoints, always surprises, and keeps the laughs -- and corpses -- rolling right along.

Try this healthy curry recipe packed full of spinach goodness.
500g/1lb 2oz spinach leaves, washed
6 tbsp vegetable oil
3 black cardamom pods
2 bay leaves
5cm/2in piece cinnamon
3-4 green chillies, pricked with a knife
1 large onion, chopped
2cm/¾in piece ginger, peeled and chopped
11 garlic cloves, peeled, left whole
3 large tomatoes, cut into quarters
800g/1lb 12oz chicken, jointed, skin removed
2 tsp ground coriander
1½ tsp garam masala
salt, to taste
4 tbsp plain yoghurt, stirred
freshly ground black pepper
basmati rice, cooked according to packet instructions, to serve
In a food processor, blend the spinach to a purée using one or two tablespoons of water to loosen the mixture. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the cardamom pods, bay leaves and cinnamon and fry for 20-30 seconds.
Add the green chillies and onion and continue to fry for 4-5 minutes, or until caramelised.
Meanwhile, blend the ginger, garlic and tomatoes to a smooth paste in the food processor.
When the onions have caramelised, add the paste, chicken pieces and remaining spices to the pan and stir well to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add the yoghurt, stir well and continue to simmer the mixture until the sauce has thickened and almost dried out.
Stir in the spinach purée and continue to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then serve with rice.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Fortunate to grab a growler and a glass at the company store. Served in a 10oz. Glass.
A: A golden copper color. Very cloudy/opaque, such that I cannot see through the glass. Thin white head retention.
S: Very malty and strong flavors of carmel. A beautiful and complex aroma. you can tell its aged well. Reminds me a little of a dry 18-year old scotch.
T: immediately, the sweet carmel and toffee hits me. Next, is a nice, smooth malt backbone, followed by a bitter, hoppy finish that lingers. I feel like I'm going to taste this for hours (but in a good way). It's amazing how the flavors are so bold after almost six years. It's definitely one of the best barleywines I've had.
M: Definitely thick and chewy. It completely coats my mouth.
Overall, fantastic! 'Nuff said.

Beer served in an Old Guardian glass, because I can.
Beer is ruby in color and clear with an off white head of small bubbles with low retention, some lacing and moderate carbonation.
Aroma is bready, yeasty, nice esters, a little fruity with plums or other stone fruits.
Beer is medium in body and sweet, very sweet, mildly bitter from the grains in the back and the midpalate is estery with some nice fruits or grape skins. Not my favorite series of beers from Stone but this one is pretty decent.

Bottle courtesy of drabmuh at last weekend's Stone tasting. Served in a Stone goblet.
Pours a semi-hazy golden-caramel color with a bit of an orange hue. Short head without much in the way of retention or lacing.
The nose brings some caramel and brown sugar, as well as some older hops. Faint fruits in the background. This is the hoppiest of the bunch when compared with the 2005 and 2006, though still not super hoppy. The flavor has a good deal of sweetness and still just a touch of lingering bitterness. Some alcohol. Medium body with low carbonation and a mixture of sugar and alcohol. There's some fullness to it.
This was okay, but it's not something I'd really plan to age all that much of in the future.

Bottle, 2007 vintage, 11.26%, that I picked up at the Whole Foods in Georgetown back in the day.
Pouring a clear barleywine-red-brown with a dense, beige head with rather excellent retention and lacing, this looks like a good barleywine. It smells like one too, with quite a bit of crystal and caramel malt character, along with a mostly faded pine hop character. QC at Stone is pretty good (IMO) and so, there's none of the deleterious oxidation here, with no cheesey hops or stale, papery malts. Brown sugar, toffee, creme brulee even, there's some wildflower honey with some floral aspects. Pretty nice!
The palate is mostly sweet with some alcohol. Medium-full in body with soft carbonation, this beer is all kinds of sweet. Caramel, toffee, a little brown sugar, some burnt sugar, a little vanilla, and some booze to round out the front and back-ends. A moderate bitterness is present, at a surprising level even, balancing some sweetness. Aggressively caramel-like, though the complexity really does tell me that this is kettle caramelization and someone playing fast and loose with crystal malt, this is growing on me. Bitter and sweet on the finish with honey and pine, this beer is pretty enjoyable, and from past experience, better than it was fresh. Recommended, and it ages well too. Hits all the right notes for a style that typically doesn't do much for me.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — The basketball season is in full swing and the T-NT rivalry is in full effect this weekend as the Lumberjacks (0-2) host the Warriors (1-1) tonight at the Alumni-Student Activities Center.
The game may be without some of its usual luster, as both teams star players — NT's Ian Gilhousen and Tonawanda's Clayton Hess — will be in street clothes, but the atmosphere should provide a quality basketball game.
"Two years ago when we were there that place was jam-packed and it sounded like a college game," said Tonawanda coach Hank Hughes. "The kids had a hard time and we ran a lot of set plays and the guys couldn't hear anything."
Both teams have had trouble minimizing turnovers early on in the season and that should be a key stat line to keep an eye on.
North Tonawanda coach Ryan Mountain was unhappy with the Jacks' poor ball control in losses against Amherst and Oracle Charter last weekend, but he was thrilled with the way his team responded this week in practice.
"I loved that we hated to lose, I think that's huge," he said. "Sometimes you'll come out of a very competitive tournament and a few players will be happy because they got a few baskets to fall. We were all business this week and came out ready to work."
The Jacks were somewhat prepared to start the season without Gilhousen, but the Warriors were shellshocked when Hess went down on the opening tipoff of the season. Their play the rest of the way against Christian Central Academy and then in a loss to Roy-Hart on Tuesday was clear evidence.
The Warriors welcomed back point guard Ben Stitch last game and he scored 20 points in his first action of the season. Hughes said that he'll have to be the quarterback out on the floor and facilitate the offense if the Warriors hope to compete on the road.
He said it all starts with handling the opposing team's pressure.
"We definitely have to handle the pressure better," Hughes said. "We've turned the ball over way too much. We have to be smarter than we were against Roy-Hart. We have to run and score points."
Mountain said his team is excited to get out on its home floor and the key to the game will be who wins the battle on the boards.
"We're excited. It's our home opener and it's against Tonawanda," he said. "Both teams know each other very well. We just want to focus on executing our game plan and not getting to caught up in the hype of the rivalry."
Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

While one year ago, it looked as if Oklahoma might avoid the fallout from a national recession, the last few months have reminded us we are not immune.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the state's unemployment rate has risen every month since February 2008. The Philadelphia Federal Reserve's index of economic activity for Oklahoma has declined for four straight months and now sits at its lowest level since December 2007. Finally, State Treasurer Scott Meacham reported recently that state tax revenues have declined for two straight months compared to a year ago, including a whopping 21.6% decline in February. Yes, the recession is here.
What is particularly troubling is not the reminder that Oklahoma, like every place, is susceptible to economic downturns. After all, no economic region is truly recession-proof. Recessions are an inevitable part of the business cycle - economies expand, reach a peak, contract, reach a trough, and then begin to expand anew. Anyone who even vaguely remembers the 1980s (or even earlier this decade) knows that Oklahoma follows this pattern, too. No, what is particularly troubling is that our state government was so unprepared for this event.
Generally, state tax revenues follow the business cycle. During economic expansions, rising incomes lead to higher state tax revenues, while during contractions, falling incomes generate the opposite result. Unfortunately, this means that government tends to grow too quickly during expansions, and shrink too quickly during contractions. This pattern is problematic for two reasons. First, too many resources are directed to the government sector during expansionary periods, which tends to slow economic growth. Second, during contractions, state government is forced to reduce government spending and even lay off workers, both of which tend to exacerbate the recession.
Ideally then, Oklahoma's state government would prepare for those bad times - and the falling revenues that result - by saving money during the good times. This approach keeps government from growing so quickly during expansions, yet provides stable funding for important government services during contractions. Of course, this is the rationale for the state's Rainy Day Fund. But the current $600 million balance of the fund is woefully inadequate.
The Oklahoma Policy Institute, a nonpartisan public policy organization that researches state budget issues, estimates that the last recession - by all accounts, a mild downturn - generated a cumulative $1.8 billion state revenue shortfall from FY02-FY04. In other words, a state Rainy Day Fund of $1.8 billion would have been needed to keep government spending constant at FY01 levels. Considering that the current recession is shaping up to be far more severe, it is likely that the cumulative revenue shortfall over the next few years will far surpass the $1.8 billion total. Unfortunately, the fund currently holds only $600 million - far short to avoid large cuts in government services.
It did not have to be this way. Even though the state Constitution limits the size of the Rainy Day Fund, the Legislature could have helped amend the Constitution. During the last few years, the Oklahoma Legislature failed to approve Constitutional amendments that would raise the limit on the state's Rainy Day Fund, choosing instead to approve large permanent tax cuts and large spending increases. Instead of helping prepare for the problems of today, legislative actions exacerbated them. While it is too late to prepare for this downturn, hopefully we can learn our lesson so our government will be prepared for the next one.

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles optioned right-hander Steve Johnson, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk when Jason Hammel was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday, back to Norfolk after Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Johnson made his Major League debut in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Tigers, giving up one run on one hit in two innings. He pitched the eighth and ninth innings.
Johnson walked his first two batters in the eighth before retiring the next three. He struck out Don Kelly and Austin Jackson to close the inning, drawing a huge ovation from the hometown fans. The right-hander then allowed a solo homer to Miguel Cabrera in the ninth.
"Just walking off the field in the eighth inning, getting the strikeout and getting out of the jam and having the fans get behind me, that was a pretty special moment," Johnson said. "That's something I'll take with me."
Steve's father, Dave, pitched for the Orioles from 1989-91. The pitcher is a Baltimore native.
They became the sixth father-son duo to play for the Orioles.
Right-handed reliever Stu Pomeranz was scheduled to start a rehab assignment on Sunday, but he had what O's manager Buck Showalter deemed "a hiccup" with his back and will need another day or two. Pomeranz has been sidelined with a left oblique strain since the end of May.
Monday's starter, Chris Tillman, was with the team on Sunday, and is expected to be activated to start the series opener in Minnesota. Tillman, who had his original start pushed back a day due to back spasms on Thursday, played catch on Saturday with no problems.

Systolic pressure is the pressure of blood against the artery walls when the heart has just finished contracting or pumping out blood. (Diastolic pressure is the pressure of blood against the artery walls between heartbeats, when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood.)
Systolic blood pressure is the upper number of a blood pressure reading. For example, if a person's systolic pressure is 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and the diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg, blood pressure is recorded as 120/80 and read as "120 over 80."

The State Department of Environmental Conservation is still concerned by the bacteria levels recorded at Kenai beaches. They say the levels are several times higher than state standards for recreational waters.
The DEC's Timothy Stevens encouraged…
Stevens: "Meaning if you're out wading in the water, or you somehow come in contact with the beach water, probably rinse yourself off afterwards. Definitely don't drink the water, if you catch any fish or shellfish from the water, make sure you rinse them with tap water before you process them or definitely before you eat them."
Stevens said fish also need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
The DEC is still unsure why the levels are so high, but say the bacteria is usually carried by warm bodies animals. The will continue to collect samples until mid-August.

Cess pool sockeye at the mouth of the Kenai River! Wonderful advertising to attract lower 48ers to the Kenai for fishing! Gee, has the rest of the Kenai River been tested for pollution? Will probably require a new State Agency loaded with "government parasites" to study the issue to death over the next 40 years!

Oh Pleasee. Back when we grew up this would of never been a big deal. Now it's news?? No wonder we…Read More have so many sensitive kids these days. Parents being outraged over a box with teeth.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria normally live in the intestines of healthy people and animals.…Read More Most varieties of E. coli are harmless or cause relatively brief diarrhea. But a few particularly nasty strains, such as E. coli O157:H7, can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting. You may be exposed to E. coli from contaminated water or food — especially raw vegetables and undercooked ground beef. Healthy adults usually recover from infection with E. coli O157:H7 within a week, but young children and older adults can develop a life-threatening form of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
