Family Fights to End Pregnant Woman's Life Support
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A pregnant woman has been kept on life support for more than seven weeks against her family's wishes.
The hospital says the fetus has a heartbeat and that Texas law is on their side.
This week, the family of Marlise Munoz is expected to take legal action against the Texas hospital that refuses to unplug her from a ventilator.
Munoz is pregnant and collapsed in late November after suffering a blood clot in her lungs. John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth says Texas law requires that Munoz be kept on life support in hopes of saving the unborn baby.
"We were told she was brain dead on Nov. 26," Lynn Machado told CNN.
Munoz's family says Marlise never wanted to be kept on life support. It's a conversation her husband says they had often. They're both paramedics and the parents of a 15-month-old boy.
"We'd seen things out in the field," husband Erick Munoz said. "We both knew that we didn't want to be on life support."
The Munoz story has sparked a debate over these laws that override a woman's right to be disconnected from life support if she is pregnant. About 30 states have these laws on the books. If Munoz is indeed brain dead like her family says, even the people who helped write the Texas law say her husband's wishes to disconnect should be followed.
"If she's brain-dead, then she's already dead, so letting her die isn't really the concept. But can he say "take her off the ventilator"? Um, I believe he can," Southern Methodist University Law Professor Thomas Mayo said.
Attorneys for Erick Munoz tell CNN legal action is expected this week.
John Peter Smith Hospital officials say they're "encouraged by this development because the courts are the appropriate venue to provide clarity, direction and resolution in this matter."
Marlise Munoz is now about 21 weeks pregnant. But medical experts say it's difficult to know for sure if the fetus can survive.
"Just seeing that things look well, isn't the same as saying that things will be well. Because you can have important effects from situations like this that aren't manifest as things that can be seen on ultrasound or MRI."
Marlise Munoz's body remains in the hospital while the debate over what should happen to her rages outside.

I am 10 days postpartum and my milk has been in for a week now. Prior to giving birth I stocked up on breast pads since everyone told me you leak a lot. So far, not a single leak. Should I just count myself lucky or do you think the leaking is still coming? Or should I be concerned? Is it weird not to leak?
DS is gaining weight great and I can get a decent stream going when I hand expresss, so I don't think it's a supply issue.

Please help me find my inner "Roar"
Oh gosh I think it is COMPLETELY normal when you have such a tiny new chap in the house. Hormones, tiredness, all the physical recovery will all contribute to leaving you without enough fight. Am sure you will be kicking arse again very soon tho!
I think its the loss of control. I've felt like this through our homeless situation. I guess the fact you are physically restricted is causing this in your case. I am sure once you are able to drive and move about more easily you will regain the control and have the kids back in shape. And mentally will be more able to roar when needed! As for now, just concentrate on allowing your body to heal. The last thing you want to do is do too much and put yourself back xx

Receiving Meteosat, GOES, MTSAT, Metop, AVHRR and ATOVS data from the EUMETCast DVB Service
How do I get the new data?
You can now receive data from EUMETSAT via a TV broadcasting satellite - EUTELSAT-10A - as an alternative way to either direct reception from Meteosat or using the Internet to download the data. This service is called EUMETCast, and it is provided by a tq®-TELLICAST server. Just like direct reception, the data is only broadcast once so if you miss a transmission, that's tough, you miss the data! Many EUMETSAT services - Meteosat-9 (MSG-2), FSD, AVHRR and ATOVS - are available through DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcasting, standard 2). DVB is the way that Meteosat-8 and now Meteosat-9 data is being made available in Europe following an amplifier failure, and a whole lot more data has been added since the start, and EUMETCast now provides the main dissemination for Metop-A/B data and much more. Subsets of this data are also broadcast via C-band satellites providing coverage to Africa and some of the Americas.
From the start of 2015 the older EUMETCast Europe service from the EUTELSAT 9A satellite is being retired. In its place is a wider-bandwidth service from the EUMETSAT 10A satellite. Details of the service are here, and EUMETSAT have prepared a Migration Guide describing how existing DVB-S users may change over to the new service. A new DVB-S2 receiver will be required and your antenna will need to be re-pointed to the new satellite. If you are in a weaker signal area you may even need a bigger dish.
If you have questions about Meteosat-8 or Meteosat-9, please consult the EUMETSAT Web site. For a brief overview of EUMETCast please see the Information Note on EUMETCast. Further information about trouble-shooting EUMETCast is available in the EUMETCast Troubleshooting Guide. There is also an informal Yahoo group for MSG-1 and MSG-2 where many users may be found. EUMETCast also includes the optional DWDSAT data stream - there are also Yahoo groups covering the different requirements for and uses of AVHRR data, DWDSAT data, and Metop data.
For an overview of one man's EUMETCast reception station -
take a look at Alan
Banks' Web page.
If you have any questions about this procedure, please do not e-mail me, but ask on the MSG-1 Yahoo Group where there are lots of people who have been through the procedure.
A complete DVB system will comprise a satellite receiving dish to be mounted outside, an LNB (low noise block) which converts the 11GHz signal down to the 1GHz region and amplifies it to overcome cable loss, good satellite cable terminated with F-connectors to connect the LNB to your DVB card, and the DVB USB box or DVB card itself which fits into one of the PCI slots inside your PC. For Ku-band reception in Europe I recommend the DVBWorld USB box or SkyStar 2 card from the GEO shop. Note that a 5-volt PCI slot is required, and some recent PCs with PCI-X slots are not compatible - be sure to check before purchase. For Meteosat-9 EUMETSAT recommend that you have a separate PC dedicated to data capture and file sharing, and that it should be at least a 2GHz Pentium 4 system. However, many people find that adequate performance can be obtained with a single PC, with today's powerful dual-core PCs, and with 2-3GB of memory. For data capture, I have recently used an old Pentium III 550MHz machine as my Receiver PC. While Windows 2000 Advanced Server is not supported, Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows XP systems work correctly. Widows Vista is also OK, although my own tests have been with a USB 2.0 hi-speed box rather than a SkyStar PCI card, and are described here. Be sure to use fast hard disks in the receiver PC, with as big a disk buffer as possible (8/16/32MB rather than 2MB), and a fast connection (UDMA 66/100 or serial ATA) to help minimise the chance of missing segments. The length of the cable from LNB to PC is not critical, and 15-20m is typical. You can purchase these from various suppliers, and you may be able to get a good package deal buying all the items together. The GEO Shop has fair prices and aims to provide good service - why not join GEO and get the highly-regarded GEO Quarterly magazine?
More information about configuring your PC.
You can find an introduction Data Transmission using MPEG-2 and DVB systems here. There is more detailed information on transmission system here (PDF file). The present service uses a QPSK modulation with a 3/4 Code Rate at a 27.5 MSymbol/sec rate, resulting in a 38.00 Mbit/sec bit rate stream which contains all the EUMETCast data and other services, Within Europe, this is broadcast from the 11976MHz TP63 transponder on the Eutelsat Eurobird 9A satellite, and C-band services are also available over Africa from the Atlantic Bird 3 satellite, and over South America from the NSS806 satellite. EUMETSAT reception station setup Web page.
Where do I point my dish?
the Ku-band Europe service, visit http://www.satlex.de/en/azel_calc.html,
select your country and city, select orbital position 9.0E : Eurobird 9/9A, and
press Calculate. You may also find the Satellite
Dish Alignment Tools page helpful.
SoftwareThe data flow from the satellite to the final images is quite complex. Here is how some of the software components fit together.
Performance monitoring is possible if you have SNMP
installed. You can see what my card is doing here,
which is updated from time to time.

Problems and FAQs
Further information about trouble-shooting EUMETCast is available in the EUMETCast Troubleshooting Guide.
The TechniSat User Guides may be downloaded here. Please note that these are not EUMETCast specific.
Q 01: My data stopped early in October 2004
Q 02: GOES-9 (GMS) data stopped after September 14, 2005.
Q 03: Meteosat-5 and Meteosat-7 data stopped after October
25, 2005.

Java issue - January 2014
In January 2014 Java was updated to make it more secure, by making Java programs which were not "digitally signed" not run. This stopped the TelliCast throughput graph from the HTML shell from working. To resolve this, the PC (or PCs) need to be added to an exception list. Follow these outline steps:
You will find that you still need to click Run when accessing the TelliCast throughput screen in your Web browser. There are more details with screen-shots here.
You can see the data flow statistics for my DVB PCs on the Web. They are updated from time to time. Note how the quantity of data varies throughout the day, and how each orbit of Metop contributes the most variation in data flow. These statistics are created by running the MRTG software, and enabling the SNMP service on the Receiver PC. How to collect this data.
Checking the signal level
To get this screen, right-click the green Setup4PC icon in the taskbar, and select Setup4PC. Click the Status button. Note that the audible signal strength indication - enabled and disabled by clicking the small speaker button next to the Signal Quality display - is only available on more recent versions of the SkyStar software. While the older V4.2.2 works well with the PCI card, V4.3.0 is now the version recommended by EUMETSAT. This screen-shot is from V4.4.1 which has even better performance, but doesn't install on XP SP3 (I will run OK, though, on a PC which has been upgraded from SP2 to SP3 - don't ask, I didn't write this software, nor did EUMETSAT!).
Checking the PIDs and statistics
Different logos on the Setup4PC display
To get this screen, right-click the green Setup4PC icon in the taskbar, and select Setup4PC. Note the logo on the screen which helps identify which driver version you have. Click the Statistics tab. Note that if the TelliCast software is not running, the throughput figures will be zero, as there is no software listening for the IP packets being sent by the SkyStar software. To check this, run a "netstat -a" command and look for UDP ports 1065, 4711 and 4712 in the list.
Channel Names
These are the data channels available in Europe through the Ku-band Eurobird-9 satellite. Please see the EUMETSAT site for details about other satellites (e.g. C-band coverage of Africa and the Americas). The table below is sorted by channel name.
You need to ensure that at least the announcement channel PID, and the PID or PIDs for the data you want to receive are present in the Setup4PC program. Selecting the EUMETCast :: Eurobird 9E service by right-clicking the green Setup4PC icon is an easy way to do this. Certain data may require your eToken to be enabled by EUMETSAT before reception is possible.
The EUMETSAT version of the table can be found on this page.
Here is a guide to which of my software manages, decodes or displays which data. This is only a guide as some of the data channels carry a whole variety of information, and some of the tools below can decode other data - e.g. the GRIB Viewer will decode quite a lot of DWDSAT GRIB data.

Former 21 Jump Street star-turned-reality producer Richard Grieco tells me Showtime has picked up a third season of his Vegas-set Gigolos and will start shooting this month — but one guy has been sacked after growing too big for his britches (so to speak). Unfortunately, it's the hot guy.
"The one who is definitely out is Jimmy [Clabots]," reports Richard, who's also considering phasing out Vin Armani (no argument from me there: zzzz). "The show is called Gigolos, not The Jimmy Show. Jimmy got off on a tangent in his personal life, and we don't need that. If he makes amends, we'll see, but as far as I'm concerned, he's done."
That leaves tattooed Nick Hawk, tan man Brace Land and strange Steven Gantt, who are in for a big surprise — Richard wants one to go gay for pay! "We have to," Richard says. "We're going to entertain all avenues next season." Brace, brace yourself!

Minister Ring Announces Irish Sports Council Funding Plans for 2013
An investment package of €33 million for Irish sport in 2013 by the Irish Sports Council has been announced today by Minister of State for Tourism & Sport Michael Ring. This money includes €19.3 million for National Governing Bodies of sport, €5.1 million for Local Sports Partnerships and €8.6 million for high performance sport. The funding is split across 3 areas including core grant, high performance and women in sport. In 2013 Swim Ireland has taken a cut across all three areas, as expected when the overall Irish Sports Council budget was cut in December. Swim Ireland are extremey grateful to the Irish Sports Council who have continued to support our sport and its programmes and athletes in 2013.
Speaking at the launch Minister Ring said: "The Government has ensured that sport continues to receive significant financial support, and we protected funding for the Sports Council in this year's Budget. The Sports Council's new investment plan highlights the huge range of organisations that will get essential support this year. I know the Sports Council has made every effort to protect funding for organisations that need it most. Above all, everyone appreciates that the sports community spends this money well, and generates a good return for our communities, our society and our national spirit."
The total for NGBs includes €10.8 million for the core activities of 59 sports, €7.6 million to support the participation programmes of the GAA, FAI and IRFU and €840,000 in dedicated Women in Sport activities across the NGB sector. In 2013 Swim Ireland will receive €836,678 (3& cut on 2012) in Core Grant Funding €510,00 (8% cut on 2012) for High Performance and a €47,500 grant for Women in Sport.
The national network of 31 Local Sports Partnerships will receive €5.1 million in investment to support their work in promoting participating in sport and physical activity especially in hard to reach groups. The Sports Partnerships offer a range of programmes including the Sports Inclusion Disability Officers.
Kieran Mulvey, Chairman of the Irish Sports Council said that "I want to pay tribute to the sports bodies who deliver such a variety of excellent opportunities in sport. The Council appreciates very much the support given to us by Minister Ring and his Department which allows us to continue our mission to improve the standards in high performance sport and to increase participation rates in sport. ".
86 athletes will receive individual grants totalling €1.7 million under the International Carding Scheme. 16 sports bodies will receive €5.5 million to support their Performance Plans in 2013 and the Olympic Council of Ireland (€412,000) and Paralympics Ireland (€910,000) funding allocations were also announced. One notable new programme is support of €275,000 to the IRFU to support their efforts to qualify a women's team for the 7′s tournament in Rio 2016.
Five Swim Ireland athletes Sycerika McMahon, Barry Murphy, Grainne Murphy, Chris Bryan and Fiona Doyle will all received individual grants through the International Carding Scheme.
John Treacy, CEO of the Council said: "We have begun to implement the recommendations of the Carding Review and the London Debrief immediately. While there is still a substantial investment in the International Carding Scheme there is a move towards greater support to the Performance Plans of the NGBs".
The Irish Sports Council will receive €43.153 million in grant aid from the Government in 2013. Today's package of €33 million represents a large part of the Council's investment in sport. This is the first year that Coaching Ireland, based at the University of Limerick, will operate as an integral part of the Council. Other important activities include the Irish Sport Anti-Doping Programme, the Institute of Sport and the National Trails Office. Other grant programmes include the Team Ireland Golf Trust, Sport for Older People and the Gaelic Players Association.Read More

(Permanent soundtrack to the last post of the week, from the blog's second-favorite Canadian...)
We begin this week's valedictory in the wide world of sports, where, this weekend, He shall returneth to Foxborough in the company of his newest companions, where He last was seen running for his life and throwing passes to the far suburbs lest Jerod Mayo and Vince Wilfork eat him alive and throw the scraps unto the seagulls.
Of course, running back be damned, even if his stigmata flared up on both hands, Tim Tebow probably could throw for a cool 250 against the New England secondary, which, in the fourth quarter, generally turns into a a pile of dead fish from the Sea of Galilee.
Elsewhere, I don't care what the court rules, they can't have Claire Danes. I've never fallen for the whole "tort reform" scam, but even I have to admit that it would be a little weird to see an entire country sue a TV show. I await the action to be brought by the inhabitants of Talos IV against the estate of the late Gene Roddenberry.
Chuck Berry turned 86 on Thursday, and the man who screwed up the world in a better way than almost anyone else ever did. He gets credit for an awful lot of things That Riff first among 'em but never enough for his incomparable gifts as a lyricist. If you want to see where Bob Dylan got a lot of his chops, check out the second verse of "Nadine":
I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back / Started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac / I was pushin' through the crowd to get to where she's at / I was campaign-shoutin' like a southern diplomat.
Yeats could have written those lines. And, somewhere, he wishes he did.
There has been a lot of plane travel, and train travel, and Not Being At Home recently, so a lot of reading has gotten itself done. I can recommend the new book on Ray Mancini by Mark Kriegel, who is the best writer on sports that we have, and also the new one on Revelations by Elaine Pagels, who is one of my primary intellectual crushes, and not just because she makes Ross Douthat cry into his alb. Also, too: Live by Night, the latest historical crime drama by Dennis Lehane, wherein Lehane continues to work the dark and rainy side of Doctorowland. The execution of Sacco and Vanzetti takes place off-stage in this one.
Am I really supposed to feel sorry that Alex Rodriguez's sojourn in New York is ending badly? For whom am I supposed to feel sorry? A-Rod? The Yankees? It is to laugh. And it is to laugh even louder and longer to listen to the lament of this smug, overindulged jackeen:
American society has worked hard to eliminate bigotry like this toward other groups. We should not tolerate it against the 1 percent either. You can you make a difference in this fight. Most bigotry is minimized and even eradicated when people like you stop tolerating it. In the 1980s, racial jokes in work and social life were still quite normal. Maybe they still are in parts of American culture but I don't hear them anymore. One reason is that in the 1980s, I made a conscious decision to no longer accept such prejudice in my life. Whenever someone would begin a joke that was clearly heading toward a racially focused end, I would stop them and say, "Please, I'm not interested in hearing that joke." It was very uncomfortable at first. But I did it because this was a small thing that could help create a better culture.
Aren't you the swell fella? Go ask your money how much it loves you. In addition, here's Mr. Tillman's Illinois Policy Institute organizing a little climate-change denialism hoedown. Here's one of the reasons why it did so.
Anyway, I'll be back on Monday with the usual gobshitery, which probably will go heavy on the vital foreign0policy question of What Did The President Know Abot Benghazi And When Did Willard Start Lying About It? Then, off to Boca for electric Twitter machine, and same-day blog coverage of Presidential Debate III: Rise of The Romneybot. I hope Malia shows up and slaps Tagg Romney silly. Play nice, ya silly bastids, or Lebanon's gonna sue all your sorry asses.

LOS ANGELES, December 6, 2013 — Robinson Cano has decided to become a Seattle Mariner. According to ESPNdeportes.com, Cano and the Mariners have agreed to a ten-year, $240 million deal.
Robinson Cano, a career .309 hitter, slashed .314/..383/.516 with 27 homeruns in 2013 with the New York Yankees. Since 2007, Cano has played in at least 159 games every year.
SEE RELATED: Jacoby Ellsbury leaves Boston Red Sox, heads to New York Yankees
These contract numbers are identical to the numbers the Anaheim Angels agreed upon with Albert Pujols in 2011, a contract the Angels and their fans undoubtedly started to regret in the first year of the deal. Since signing his deal, Pujols has been injured often and has looked like a shell of his former self.
Seattle has long needed more offense, however, ten years is a long time, especially when one considers that Cano, 31, will have just three more years, maybe four, before nature and age start to factor in and deplete his production.
There are no details yet on how the contract will be structured. If you're a Mariners fan, you would hope that the deal is at least front loaded, unlike the back loaded deal Pujols signed. The Pujols deal started at $12 million and steadily increases every year until his age 41 season when he will be making $30 million.
If Seattle front loads the deal, it would definitely lighten the crippling economic effects of such a long deal. Like the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011, the Yankees have dodged a bullet by not signing Cano.
SEE RELATED: MLB Hot Stove Happenings: Big winter trades and even bigger signings
While Cano is clearly the best second baseman in baseball right now, a decent comparison would be Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox. Pedroia avoided free agency earlier in the year by signing an extension worth $110 million over eight years.
Had the Yankees re-signed Cano, they would be instant World Series contenders after also signing Jacoby Ellsbury and Brian McCann. Seattle, on the other hand, still is not going to be good enough to compete in the American League West against the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers.
Seattle wanted to make a splash and a splash they made, although that splash on the surface appears to be the result of a belly flop.

For those of you in the US, it has now been one week since Thanksgiving. Maybe, if you are lucky, you have already finished up the last of your turkey. In our household, however, we generally get a turkey at least twice as large as we need. For the Critic, this satisfies some strange primal urge that I have never entirely understood; for me, it just means lots and lots of good material for creativity. I hope you have been vigilant in saving turkey bones and made yourself some soup stock. (Our bird was bigger than our stock pots, and even broken down had to be simmered in two!) On the day after Thanksgiving, you may have made yourself the obligatory turkey sandwich. You can also make a nice turkey and dumpling stew, substituting the meat in this recipe. Alternatively, you can make a turkey pot pie, using this one.
And then, at some point, you start getting tired of the taste of turkey. This is when I turn to a recipe with pizzazz, one that will almost-but-not-quite hide that turkey flavour: a curry.
Actually, I got this idea from Helen Fielding's book, Bridget Jones' Diary, where Bridget is dragged to the traditional post-New Year's Eve turkey curry buffet by her parents. It sounded like an eminently intelligent thing to do with leftover turkey and so I scoured my English cookbooks for a good curry recipe. I found one, on the first try, in Nigel Slater's Real Cooking: A creamy, clourful, fragrant chicken curry (page 86).
This is an adaptation of the recipe, which Nigel describes thus: "A seriously unauthentic dish, this, but who gives a monkey's for authenticity? All that really matters is whether something is good to eat. And this is. It is neither Thai nor Indian. A few purists are going to be really pissed-off, especially about the crème fraîche." How can you not love this man? For me, he has his priorities firmly in the right place.
So here is my version, a Creamy, colourful, fragrant (spicy!) turkey curry. Courtesy of Nigel Slater. Serves 4.
1 1/2 cups chopped turkey meat, heavy on the dark meat (the original recipe called for chicken thighs only)
2 medium onions, roughly chopped
2 knobs of ginger, about two Tbs when finely chopped
3 plump juicy garlic cloves
a large bunch of coriander leaves and stalks, chopped
1 Tbs chopped fresh or frozen basil
1 Tbs dried chili flakes
2 tsp cumin seeds
10 green cardamom pods
1 Tbs ground tumeric
6 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 a small zucchini/courgette (optional - threw it in because I had one needing to be used)
1 pot of unsweetened plain yogurt
juice from half a lemon
4 heaped Tbs crème fraîche
salt to taste
Put a little oil or butter or both in a large deep frying pan and set the onion to soften. Add the ginger and garlic. In the meantime, open the cardamom pods and extract the black seeds. Crush these with half the cumin seeds with a mortar and pestle or (if you don't have one) in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. Add these and the rest of the dried spices to the onion mix and let it simmer a while, even if this means a bit sticks to the bottom of the pan. Chop the tomatoes and add them to the pan. As they give off their juice, use it to scrape up the bits of spice on the bottom of the pan. Add the coriander, reserving a tablespoon or so for garnish if you are that kind of person.
Add the chopped courgette and turkey and simmer for a while. Taste the sauce for spiciness. I originally added about half the amount of tumeric, and at this point mixed more with the yogurt before adding it to the starting-to-be-rather-full pan. Add the crème fraîche, lemon juice and basil. Simmer for about ten minutes or so and taste for spiciness and salt. Nigel's recipe did not call for any salt, but personally I found it needed a good helping of it and the Critic added more after I served it.
Put on your basmati rice to boil, give the curry a stir over a low flame and leave it to simmer. Pour yourself and/or your partner a glass of wine and wait for the rice to cook. Serve with fresh basil and/or coriander and enjoy!
As for the REST of your leftovers, I would recommend doing what I did: use your freezer to its capacity. When I made the turkey pot pies, I made enough for three extra pies and froze them. The fourth piece of pâte feuilleté will be used to make a turkey curry pot pie for the freezer. And I think I have about 2/5 liters of turkey stock in various Tupperware bins in the freezer, waiting for future stews and soups. We are down to our last pound of meat!
Weight Watchers Note: you can reduce the number of points per serving for this recipe to 2.5 (not counting the rice) by using 0% fat plain yogurt and reducing the single cream or crème fraiche to 2 tablespoons. Use only one tablespoon of oil to soften the onions and garlic as well. As for the rice, I was perfectly satisfied by a small serving (75g) when I laid a layer of steamed cauliflower over the rice before adding the curry. Cauliflower is wonderful with the flavors of this curry and fills you up just as well as rice at a fraction of the calories!
This looks delicious, but I have a questions...
Isn't curry supposed to be added to this curry dish? Or am I totally wrong here?
Andrew, by curry I am assuming you mean curry powder? The Food Lover's Companion (available on the www.epicurious.com site if you are curious) defines curry powder as follows: "Curry powder is actually a pulverized blend of up to 20 spices, herbs and seeds. Among those most commonly used are cardamom, chiles, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, fennel seed, fenugreek, mace, nutmeg, red and black pepper, poppy and sesame seeds, saffron, tamarind and turmeric (the latter is what gives curried dishes their characteristic yellow color)." In fact, any curry dish will have a variety of Indian spices, as this one does. Or it can call for commercial curry powder. But as the flavor varies depending on which brand you buy (or your own personal recipe) it is safer to give the individual spice elements in a recipe. All the spices in my recipe are commonly found in curry powder.
Hope that helps clarify things!
Excellent helps in this recipe. I was stumped while trying to create my own Turkey Curry ensemble for the very picky chefs in my home and was fortunate to find your blog. Fabulous help in my time of need!
We have renamed this The Turkey Curry of Dreams. Made this recipe for my housemates post-xmas 2009 and it went down so well I have to make it pretty much once a month, though sometimes with left over chicken instead!
Really love that it comes out slightly differently each time, and we've adapted it to suit our tastes; slightly more chilli and less lemon, and usually a beer not wine mid-cook! So I just wanted to say thanks, for giving me my signature dish!

Two photojournalists continue their unforgettable pilgrimage along the length of India's two most sacred rivers, recording what they see with the penetrating eye of the camera. Their tale is also about the despoiling of these holy waterways by human ignorance and insensitivity.
Photography and Text By Sunil Vaidyanathan
Research and Coordination By Andy Mendonca
Ours, like all ancient civilizations started in river valleys. Our rivers are sacred to us. Our sacred places are for the most part located on the banks of these rivers. We venerate the mountains from where our rivers originate. Our feasts and festivals are held on its sands.
The rivers still retain their sacred flavour and ancient spirit. Here, we have attempted to capture it in images and words.
|The pilgrimage down the Ganges, first of these two most sacred rivers, is covered in the article:
"Sacred Rivers of India, Part 1: The Ganges".
This account continues the journey on a major tributary of the Ganges and the second of India's most sacred rivers, the Yamuna (Jamuna). Its source is at Yamunotri, in the Uttaranchal Himalayas. It flows through the states of Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, before merging with the Ganges at Allahabad. The cities of Delhi, Mathura and Agra lie on its banks.
According to legend the goddess of the river, also known as Yami, is the sister of the Hindu god of death Yama and the daughter of Surya, the Sun god. The river Yamuna is also connected to the mythology surrounding the Hindu god Krishna.
We were told that a road did exist to our first destination, the source of the Yamuna in the Western Himalayas. The road along the valley often dipped so suddenly that time and again the wheels of our SUV skirted dangerously close to the exposed edges.
Climbing steadily, the road grew narrower. Bite marks of bulldozers that had built it could still be seen on the soft rock. The path entered a coffin shaped gorge and continued into a woefully narrow opening at the foot of a great mountain. We stopped where the road ended, greeted by a cloud of dust, diesel fumes, impatient honking, and braying hill mules. The afternoon's harshness was now replaced by the chartreuse and pink of late afternoon light followed by a darkness that swept through the landscape, stealing colour and shape and rendering everything as a gray formless blur.
At first the area seemed sparsely populated, but then as suddenly the mist cleared, and we walked into the village of Janki Chatti--the base camp of Yamunotri where we would begin our journey down the Yamuna.
|The next day we started the gradual ascent to the shrine that marks the birthplace of this great river. It is a five-kilometer trek through a once pristine Himalayan landscape now being gradually destroyed by poor civic sense on part of pilgrims. It is shocking to find the path strewn with plastic bags and empty mineral water bottles. The climb is easy; dodging hill mules and cantankerous porters is not. The path gradually flattens out and opens out to a semicircular gorge where the Yamuna begins her descent. From here it is an easy ramble across a rusted bridge over a gorge that leads to the shrine.
At an elevation of 3235 metres, the temple is one of the famous four "dhams" of Uttaranchal. Char dhams refer to the four most sacred and revered Hindu sites: Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. The actual source of the Yamuna is difficult to approach and is at an altitude of 4421 metres.
|The escarpment above this gorge has been decapitated to provide space for ever-proliferating hotels and dharamshalas. The far side of the gorge below the escarpment is full of natural chimneys that spew steam and hot water from underground hot springs like fire-breathing serpents. Hot water trickles into the icy-cold mountain stream below, creating columns of steam. Look carefully through the camouflage of steam, and you will find a million mineral water bottles and plastic bags and used religious offerings bobbing up and down and trying hard to make their escape into the plains where environmentalists can discuss them at length.
The temple itself is a modest structure overlooking the gorge, surrounded by the usual plethora of shops catering to the pilgrim. Just below the temple is a tank where water from the hot spring is mixed with cold water to facilitate bathing. Water temperatures in the smaller tank near the sanctum exceed 70 degrees centigrade; rice and lentils cooked here are offered to the pilgrim as prasad.
|Paunta Saheb is very popular with Sikh pilgrims, it is sited on the banks of the Yamuna on the Uttaranchal-Himachal border. While the pilgrims were enjoying their holy bath, we were enjoying our Rum on the other side and photographing voluptuous Sikh women who were doing their very best to displace the water of the already dry Yamuna. One such barrel shaped lady tried to dive into the Yamuna from an escarpment, the swimmers below were very luck to escape unscathed.
|Mathura on the Delhi-Agra Road:
|In Agra, the sun sets over the Taj Mahal, Shahjahan's extravagant statement to love. It is funny, after his fall from power, he was imprisoned in a place not far from here. His prison window in the Agra Fort offered him a view of the Taj. He would not wish to see it now. It seems as if garbage from every bin in and around the Taj is dumped into the Yamuna River!
On the Delhi-Agra Road 57 kilometres north of Agra, Mathura is a site of great age. By the 5th century B.C. (during Buddha's times), it was a major metropolis and capital of the Surasena Kingdom. According to legend, Mathura is the place where Lord Krishna was born 3500 years ago. Today the land where this popular incarnation of Vishnu was born has little towns and hamlets that are steeped in legend and still redolent with the music of Krishna, the frivolous flautist with an eye for the pretty milkmaids.
The cobbled streets leading to the ghats are infested with wayward monkeys that steal spectacles and small bags. Sometimes the thief is at the end of a chain, and a human co-conspirator with a stick magically appears from behind a pillar and retrieves the booty for a fifty. Overfed cows and full-bellied pundits are a pampered lot here. Flying insects hover over piles of manure left behind by the various species that call the street home. Pictures of gods and goddesses, politicians and film actors adorn the walls of the rainbow street. Wayside shrines block pedestrian paths; sycophantic yes-men try their very best to ensure that self-important pundits maintain their full-figured appearance. The streets converge and then a gradual descent through an archway leads to the ghats.
There is no escape now; you are surrounded by young devotees of Krishna selling floral tributes.
|Upper right photo: The guru was a great showman; he invited us for the evening aartis at the ghats, where much to our embarrassment we were garlanded. The guru cajoled us into shooting many pictures of his allegedly pious entourage. He then invited us home and served the tastiest Jeelabis that Andy and I have ever eaten. So it was not a complete waste of time.
The riverfront is characterised by a long line of picturesque ghats with steps leading to the water's edge. Arched gateways and temple spires are reflected in the now gaily coloured Yamuna. The peal of temple bells echoes across the ghats, ill-tempered bulls bellow, harassed pilgrims moan and the music of Krishna's flute is doled out through loudspeakers. Devotees bathing discreetly in their saris are oblivious to everything. They dream of their doe-eyed god, and know that he will blind any mischievous sprite that dares gawk at them.
|Vrindavan, a village 10 kms north of Mathura on the banks of the Yamuna (once noted for its fragrant groves) is where Krishna spent an exciting youth. As a child, he wiled away his time by vanquishing and stealing butter from milkmaids, a sport that would make him very popular in the eyes of most young men. His debauchery, and love for life inspired the Gita Govinda, a series of love songs that every young person should read.
We were surprised that this stretch of Yamuna, which embraces Vrindavan looked and smelt cleaner than the river at Mathura which is just 15 kms upstream. Although I was very tempted to swim across its span (egged on by Andy) the fear of contracting something in a river saturated by detritus that flows downstream was a strong deterrent.
There are two overgrown gardens in Vrindavan: Seva Kunj and Nidhi Van; while the former is believed to be the place where Krishna, his beloved Radha, and his other beloved friends danced and indulged in mortal pleasures; the latter is where they lounged after a rather busy day chasing each other. The sepulchre of the legendary maestro Haridasa Swami is near the entrance of Nidhi Van. 'Mia Tansen' the famous court musician of Emperor Akbar was Haridasa's protégé.
The temple of Govind Deo (Krishna, the divine cowherd) was built in 1590 and is one of the most sophisticated Hindu temples in north India. It even has a vaulted ceiling, in contrast to the utilitarian ceilings in most temples. The ghats of Vrindavan are quieter, the few pundits that perform the evening prayers normally mind their own business, and the arcaded corridors and steps that descend to the waterfront are seldom occupied after dusk--the perfect setting for a modern day Radha and Krishna.
|The name Allahabad was given to the city by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1583. The modern city is on the site of ancient Prayag (Sanskrit for 'place of sacrifice' and is the spot where Brahma offered his first sacrifice after creating the world).
It is one of the four sites of the Kumbha Mela, a Hindu religious pilgrimage that occurs four times every twelve years, once at each of four locations: Allahabad, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nasik. Attended by millions of people, it one of the largest pilgrimage gathering around the world. The event in Allahabad enjoys a position of prominence in Hindu religion and mythology since it takes place at the confluence of the rivers Ganga and Yamuna. A scaled down version that attracts an equal number of pilgrims is held every six years.
In the Kumbha Mela of 2001, which was called the Maha Kumbha Mela because of an alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter that occurs only every 144 years, almost 75 million people visited the banks of the river to take part in the festival. During the fairs, an entire township is built on the river's banks, with functioning hospitals, fire stations, non-functioning police stations, restaurants, and other facilities.
Every holy man, trinket peddler, and pickpocket will assemble in and around the camping ground on the riverbanks, add to this curious assemblage of Indian freaks thousands of hashish smoking foreigners with tonsured heads and saffron robes chanting Hare-Rama Hare-Krishna Among holy men there is a strict hierarchy, the Naga Sadhus who are always bare naked are the fiercest. They claim that they have consciously chosen to nullify their libido by hanging weights from their sexual organs, but they travel with an entourage of women and naked children. You cannot cross-examine a person carrying a spear. Fights among the various Akhadas (wrestling schools sadhus owe allegiance to) over bathing rights are a common occurrence, and no policeman will dare interfere. I saw a group of policemen being threatened at spear point, they had invited the wrath of these bare naked sadhus.
|Allahabad is a historian's paradise. History lies embedded everywhere, in its fields, forests, settlements, and in the cultural fabric of the city. While its ancient history goes back to the earliest Aryan settlements of what is now known as India, Allahabad also featured in the modern era. In 1801, the Nawab of Awadh ceded it to the British East India Company. In 1857, Allahabad was a crucible of activity in the Indian Mutiny. The company officially handed over India to British Government in 1858 at Minto Park. Under the British rule, Allahabad was the capital of the United Provinces until the 1920s.
What is more, the first seeds of the idea of Pakistan was also sown in Allahabad. In 1930, Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) in his presidential address to the All-India Muslim League proposed a separate Muslim state for the Muslim majority regions of India.
It would be impossible for us to undertake a conservation project of this magnitude without your active support. Development is taking its toll; we are losing our sacred association with the rivers. We hope to make our readers take greater interest and help in conserving them.
Together we can make a difference!

Cold water and weather (possibly snow) might make Friday the toughest day for sectionals in the five years of Illinois' state championship for high school bass fishing.
There are other things to watch. Streamwood will try to keep alive its string of being the only Chicago-area school to qualify for state every year at Chain O'Lakes No. 2 (North). Zion-Benton, whose second-place finish in 2009 is the highest by a Chicago-area school at state, will be at Chain O'Lakes No. 1 (South).
Taft is the only Chicago Public League team at sectionals this year. The Northwest Side school has missed state only once,
despite generally being stuck at the Skokie
Lagoons sectional.
Braidwood Lake, with its warm water, will be the top area sectional again. The first Des Plaines Conservation Area sectional might be challenging because of cold, high water.

Marauding pigs introduced by Spanish explorers are ravaging land across the United States, and local governments are virtually powerless to defeat them. But Louisiana has a secret weapon: the Dehogaflier. Designed by Cy Brown and James Palmer, this homemade drone is equipped with a thermal camera that allows the engineers to find pigs in dense vegetation when they head out on their nightly raids. Once located, Palmer shoots the pigs with a rifle furnished with a night vision scope. The part time plane hobbyists have exterminated scores of boars, sows, and babies in this way, and farmers are lining up for their services.
Such drastic measures are said to be necessary because these feral pigs, which have now grown to a population of five million according to Denver Post, are so smart that they will monitor a trap set by authorities for days. "They're much brighter than I am," Ray Powell, a veterinarian and New Mexico's land commissioner told AP. "If they had the dexterity, they'd be driving vehicles around. I mean these guys are really smart."
Texas, New Mexico and other states have been battling feral pigs for years. Hunting helps to ease pressure, but not enough to curtail the exploding population, plus they carry three dozen diseases and spread noxious weeds. Shooting the animals from the sky would be an option, but helicopters are prohibitively expensive, so for now Louisiana farmers are looking to Louisiana Hog Control to keep their crops safe. Recently featured in a TIME photo shoot, Brown and Palmer's popularity has shot up, writes Modern Farmer, and they now have an additional 20 customers waiting in line.

PROVIDENCE — Interim Fire Chief Clarence A. Cunha, a 33-year veteran firefighter, is now the city's permanent leader of the department.
Mayor Angel Taveras announced the decision in a news release Friday. Cunha, 58, is the 24th chief in the department's history. The city says it is the second oldest continuously operating professional fire department in the country.
He had served as the acting chief since September, but there hasn't been a permanent chief there since George S. Farrell retired in December 2010.
"Chief Cunha is a proven leader with years of experience and a track record of meritorious service, and I am confident he will lead the Providence Fire Department with distinction," Taveras said for the news release.
Cunha graduated from the city's 37th training academy and started in September 1980. He was first assigned to Engine Company 3, then nine years in the special hazards unit. He was promoted to lieutenant in 1991, captain in 1999 and battalion chief in April 2013.
Said Cunha, "It is a privilege to lead the outstanding men and women of the Providence Fire Department.

GTL Jet Fuel approved for use in civil aviation
The new specification, ASTM D7566 "Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons", approves jet fuel containing up to 50% GTL Kerosene for use in civil aviation.
The blends will be known as GTL Jet Fuel.
GTL Kerosene is one of five GTL products that will be produced in commercial volumes by the Pearl GTL project, currently under construction by Qatar Petroleum and Shell. The project will produce around one million tonnes of GTL Kerosene per annum, enough to power a typical commercial airliner for half a billon kilometres (equivalent to carrying 250 passengers around the world 4,000 times) when used in a 50% blend to make GTL Jet Fuel.
Construction of Pearl GTL is planned to be complete around the end of 2010 with project ramp-up then taking about 12 months. GTL Kerosene is planned to be available from 2012.
The publication of the specification follows two years' research and discussion by the ASTM specification group, a consensus body consisting of producers, equipment manufacturers and consumers of aviation fuel.
Shell is also working as part of a consortium with Airbus, Qatar Airways, Qatar Fuel Company (WOQOD), Qatar Petroleum, Qatar Science & Technology Park and Rolls-Royce to research the potential benefits of using GTL Jet Fuel in aviation engines. GTL Jet Fuel has lower emissions of particulates and other pollutants that affect local air quality. GTL Jet Fuel also has a slightly higher energy density per kilogram than oil-derived kerosene, meaning that a lower weight of fuel may be required for each kilometre flown. The consortium is working to quantify this potential fuel saving amongst other work.
Andy Brown, Shell's Executive Vice President Qatar and Managing Director of the Pearl GTL project said: "I believe GTL Jet Fuel's qualities, including its potential to reduce pollution around airports and allow airplanes to carry a slightly lighter fuel payload, will make it attractive to airlines and airport authorities. For Qatar, GTL provides the opportunity to market its natural gas in diverse markets currently supplied by oil products. Today's approval opens up commercial aviation as another of these markets, helping to maximise the value Qatar can generate from its natural resources."
Pearl GTL will convert natural gas into liquid fuels, lubricants and chemical feedstocks. In addition to GTL Kerosene, Pearl GTL will produce: GTL Gasoil, a diesel type fuel; GTL Base Oils, which are used to manufacture high quality lubricants; GTL Normal Paraffin, which is used in the production of detergents; and GTL Naphtha, a feedstock for plastics products.
