Goat Korma (Spicy Curried Braised Goat Meat)
Korma is a spicy curried dish of braised meat, made with fried onion paste. My favorite meat for korma is goat. Goat meat is not very popular in Western cuisine but it's quite common in South Asian dishes. It has a very similar taste to lamb but is much more tender. This is one of Lulu's grandma's recipes. She taught it to my mother-in-law, who passed the recipe on to me.
Contrary to murgh makhani curry (butter chicken), the meat doesn't require marinating time but tastes best when prepared the day before. Korma is also a lighter version of butter chicken since it contains no cream.
Korma is usually served with naan (Indian round fluffy bread made of white flour), basmati rice or some roti (flat Indian wheat bread).
Yields: 62 pounds goat meat, boneless and bone-in meat
1/4 cup canola oil (or any neutral oil)
5 black peppercorns, freshly ground
2 teaspoons ginger garlic paste
8 cardamom pods
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, freshly ground
8 cloves
2 dried bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon mace, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 teaspoons paprika powder
3 teaspoons cumin seeds, freshly ground
1 tablespoon full-fat Greek yogurt
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 cups fried yellow onions (about 2 onions), chopped and fried
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
2 dried red chiles, stemmed
1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter), see tips
The day before:
Wash the goat meat and pat it dry with paper towels.
Dry roast the cumin seeds, cloves, bay leaves, coriander seeds, caraway seeds and black peppercorns. Grind all the spices in a spice grinder (I use a coffee mill that I use exclusively for grinding spices).
Extract the seeds from the cardamom pods. In a mortar and pestle, grind the cardamom seeds. Crush all the nits and gather about 3/4 teaspoon cardamom powder.
In a blender or a mini-blender if you have one, mix the onions, about 2-3 tablespoons of water so the onions blend more easily. Set aside.
In a large deep saucepan, heat the oil. Add the ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, the freshly ground spice mix, mace powder, cardamom powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika powder and turmeric powder. As soon as it's golden and fragrant, add the meat chunks. Stir over high heat until all the moisture from the meat has evaporated (about 5-8 minutes). Add about 1 cup of fried onion paste, the tomato sauce and the yogurt. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add about 2-1/2 to 3 cups of water. This should cover the goat meat. Bring to a full boil then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover with a dome-shaped lid to enable the steam to fall back in the saucepan. Cook for about 40 minutes, stirring often.
Check the taste. Season with salt. It should counter-balance the sour taste of the tomato sauce. Bring to a full boil one more time, cover with the lid. Turn off the heat and let cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator overnight (if possible).
The next day:
In a mortar and pestle, grind 3/4 teaspoon of saffron threads into a fine powder.
Reheat the goat dish on top of the stove. Add the remaining fried onion paste; it will add some sweetness to the dish. Add the saffron to the sweetened gravy. Add about 1/2 cup of water into the mortar and pestle to gather the possible remaining saffron powder. (Saffron is quite expensive, don't waste it!). Pour the saffron liquid to the gravy.
In a small pan, melt the ghee with the dried whole chiles. As soon as the ghee is melted, add the remaining paprika. Transfer the paprika-flavored ghee to the goat dish. Leave on very low heat for another 2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
I served it with some saffron and butter-flavored basmati rice.
Bon appétit!
The key to a flavorful, tender goat korma is to use fresh (non-frozen) goat meat. I do not recommend buying goat meat at Asian or regular local chain stores; the best place to buy it is from Iranian or Middle-Eastern stores, which always carry fresh goat meat since it's popular in the local cuisines. Make sure to ask the butcher for both boneless and bone-in meat as the marrow of the bone will dissolve in the gravy and make it more potent in flavor. If you think goat is tough and unpleasant, it's because you haven't tried it fresh. I love how tender goat turns out in this dish.
Like murgh makhani curry (butter chicken), the authentic dish has almond powder for a creamy texture. But since my 10-year-old sister-in-law is allergic to nuts, I omit this ingredient, which I don't think affects the taste of the meat dish.
These spices are very inexpensive if you buy them at an Indian store. It can cost a lot more if you buy them, for example, at Safeway or Whole Foods.
Basic spices for the gravy, check my garam masala post.
You can use the same base for the sauce and make this dish with chicken, lamb, beef or mutton, which is also pretty common in Indian cooking.
Indian cuisine often calls for ginger garlic paste. It tastes great and is very healthy for you as well. Just clean the ginger, carefully removing any dirt. Peel the ginger root with a paring knife, then finely chop it. Place the chopped ginger and 5 cloves of garlic in a blender and add about 2 tablespoons (or more) of water for a smooth flow. Transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator. You can keep this paste for at least a week in the refrigerator.
Ghee is the Indian version of clarified butter. You can find it in jars at Indian stores. But if you don't have ghee, you can add regular butter to the gravy instead.
Saffron is quite expensive; I usually get it at a more reasonable price at the Indian market. Indian cuisine often calls for the use of saffron.
Frying onions is easy. Chop the onion. Heat about 1 inch of canola oil in a skillet. Fry the onions in the oil, stirring frequently to prevent the onions from burning until the color is evenly golden brown. Drain the oil on paper towels. I always make extra so that I can vacuum-seal and store them in the freezer for future use. I place about one cup per bag. You can store them up to 3 months. I think it's the best way to keep the same flavor without getting freezer burn. I keep them exactly the same way I would with extra pesto or (papaya) meat tenderizer for poultry.
If you like Indian cuisine (... with a twist), check out my Indian curry pot pie.
In general, traditional Indian cooking calls for a layer of red colored oil on top of the dish. This is considered an attractive decoration; in times past, ghee (clarified butter) was considered a luxury in India.Published By: on September 8, 2009.

Local product leads Indy win
Indians second baseman Jim Negrych did some damage against his hometown team as he provided the only two runs that either club scored on the night. In the sixth inning after Indians right fielder Brandon Moss drew a leadoff walk, Negrych hit a two-run home run to center field in a 2-0 Indians win at Coca-Cola Field.
The St. Francis graduate took a 2-1 offering from Bisons starter Pat Misch to deep center field for his second Triple-A home run in only six games. Negrych accounted for three of the Indians seven hits by collecting two singles and his two-run blast on his 3-4 night. Since being called up to Triple-A on June 11, Negrych has been hitting .470 with five RBI.
Despite the homer to Negrych, Misch pitched seven solid innings in his thirteenth start of the season. In his seven innings of work, Misch only gave up six hits and those two runs from Negrych's home run while striking out four.
The Indians pitching staff retired 19 of the final 20 batters faced, including 18 straight. The Herd was finally able to put a runner on base in the ninth inning when catcher Josh Thole drew a walk with two outs.
Thole was unable to extend his multi-hit game streak to four games tonight by only going 1-3. Thole has been one of the Bisons best hitters in recent games by hitting a staggering .426 since May 18. Center fielder Fernando Martinez and left fielder Lucas Duda had the other two hits for the Bisons by going 1-4 and 1-3 respectively. The loss for the Herd drops their record to 35-32 while the win improves the Indians record to 36-31.
BISONS NOTES: The Bisons will continue their four game series with the Indians tomorrow as right handed pitcher Jon Maine will be making a rehab start for the Herd. Maine who has been on the disabled list since May 21 with right shoulder weakness will take on Indians left hander Brian Burres (1-1, 4.91 ERA). First pitch is slated for 7:35 p.m.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis sophomore Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter Marian) struck out a career-high eight batters in 8.2 innings of work, but he was vicitimized for five unearned runs today as the Judges fell to Rhode Island College, 8-5, on Stein Diamond. Brandeis falls to 6-13 with the loss, while RIC improves to 6-15.
Brandeis opened the scoring in the first inning with one run, though the damage could have been worse. Three straight singles to open the inning loaded the bases, but the Judges' only run came on a sacrifice fly by sophomore 2B Tom McCarthy (Yonkers, N.Y./Fieldston School) as RIC senior Mike Farias (W. Greenwich, R.I./Exeter-West Greenwich) induced a pop-up and groundout to first to avoid more trouble.
The Anchormen took advantage of a costly error in the top of the second to score three unearned runs. With two outs and a runner on first, sophomore 2B Tyler Collins (Cranston, R.I./Cranston West) reached on a ball booted at second base. A wild pitch by Brenner put both runners in scoring position, and leadoff hitter Zach Hubbard (Kissimmee, Fla./Osceola) followed with a single down the left field line that put RIC ahead, 2-1. Hubbard then stole second and scored on senior CF Kevin Carey's (Wakefield, R.I./South Kingstown) single to left.
Brandeis responded in the bottom of the second, however, loading the bases for the second straight inning with one out. Farias got a strikeout for the second out, but Judge senior catcher Chris Ferro (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) knocked home two runs with a drive to left, tying the game. A wild pitch plated rookie CF Liam O'Connor (Avon, Conn./Avon) and the Judges went back ahead, 4-3. Farias settled down after the second inning, though, retiring nine in a row and 15 of the next 17 hitters to allow the visitors to climb back into the contest.
RIC tied the game in the fourth on Carey's two-out double over the left fielder's head. That set up junior first baseman Justin Rainville'a (Cumberland, R.I./Woonsocket) heroics in the fifth. Rookie catcher Matt Foley (Seekonk, Mass./Seekonk) doubled to lead off the inning and junior DH Alex Verrecchia (Cranston, R.I./Bishop Hendricken) reached on an error. Rainville then turned on Brenner's first offering, sending it over the left field fence for his first round-tripper of the season.
In the eighth inning, with Farias out of the game, Brandeis looked to rally as they loaded the bases with no outs against RIC senior Andrew McKeon (Johnston, R.I./Johnston) on an error, a single and a walk. Anchorman senior closer Chris Mann (West Warwick, R.I./West Warwick) came on and minimized the damage. Brandeis scored once on a deep sacrifice fly by junior 1B Dan Gad (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield), but Mann got two comebackers to the mound to escape the jam. RIC got the run back thanks to two Brandeis errors in the ninth. The Judges were unable to return the favor after O'Connor led off the bottom of the frame by reaching on a miscue, as Mann picked up his second save of the season.
There were four multiple hitters in the game. For Brandeis, O'Connor went 2-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base, while Ferro was 2-5 with two RBI. For RIC, Hubbard and Carey were each 2-5 with two RBI and a run scored. Carey added a double and two steals to his resume, while Hubbard had one stolen base. Rainville's game-high three RBI all came on his round-tripper.
Farias improved to 2-2 on the season by tossing seven innings of eight-hit ball. He allowed four runs, all earned, and struck out nine while walking just one. Brenner fell to 0-4 despite nearly tossing a complete game. He went 8.2 innings and allowed eight runs, but only three were earned. He struck out his career-high eight - eclipsing his previous best by three - with just two walks. It was Brenner's third game of at least eight innings pitched this season and the seventh of his career.
Brandeis returns to action on Sunday at Framingham State for a 1:00 pm game, while RIC hosts UMass Boston in a Little East doubleheader Saturday at noon.

Top This: Potato and Roasted-Garlic Pizza (à la Pizzeria Picco)
Learn how to work a new topping onto your pies.
I wanted to get some regional variety into the Top This series, so I roped Stephanie Im of Lick My Spoon into the madness here. Stephanie visited Bruce Hill at Pizzeria Picco to bring us all topping inspiration. —The Mgmt.
What would you get if you took all the things you loved about a great french fry and put it on a pizza?
Pizzeria Picco's "Marin," a white pizza topped with young potato, roasted garlic, mozzarella, and grated Grana Padano.
It's as if Pizzeria Picco executive chef Bruce Hill was at the ballpark one day with a plate of garlic fries, tripped and fell, with the fortuitous landing spot being a slice of pizza. (True story? Not so much. But nonetheless, the concept is genius.)
The potatoes are sliced paper thin and tossed in a fragrant rosemary olive oil. The secret here is leaving the potatoes raw. When the pie gets fired in the oven (about 3 minutes at 900°F), the almost-transparent potato slices cook up just the right amount, retaining a pleasant vegetal bite to them.
The day I watched Hill make this pie, he used banana fingerling potatoes, but the variety of potato he uses changes based on what's available at the market. In classic Bay Area form, Hill and his chefs go to three to four local farmers' markets a week to source their fresh ingredients. They've even started coining the term "Cali-politan" to describe their style of pizza. The technique is all Neapolitan, from the Tipo "00" flour used in the dough, to the blistered crust and floppy center. The attention to ingredients, though, and the simplicity of letting them speak for themselves, is pure Californian.
As it happens, San Franciscans are now able to get their Cali-politan fix without going all the way up to Larkspur. Picco's sister pizzeria, Zero Zero, (located in the city's SoMa district between Lulu and Oola) just opened yesterday. In fact, while we were shooting photos and stuffing our faces working, chef Chris Whaley was firing up the new pizza oven for the first time. With tried and true favorites like the pizzas and Straus Creamery soft serve on the menu, it looks like Zero Zero will be starting out on solid footing.
What You'll Need (for 1 small pizza)
- 1 dough portion (Peter Reinhart's Neapolitan dough recipe works well, or easier yet, pick some up from your favorite pizzeria, most will sell it if you ask)
- 1 young organic potato (Hill suggests banana fingerlings or baby German butterballs), peeled and sliced super thin
- Roasted garlic (about 12 cloves)
- Fresh mozzarella, diced (about a palm full)
- Grana Padano, grated (about half a palm full)
- Rosemary olive oil
- Salt
A few tips:
1. Try not to touch the edge of the dough when you're stretching and pressing it out. You'll be rewarded with a nicely rounded, raised crust.
2. When you place the roasted garlic on the pie, smash it down a bit so that it lays flat.
3. Be sure to dry the fresh mozzarella pieces in paper towels. Fresh mozzarella has a high level of moisture, so if you don't get rid of some of it, you risk a soggy pizza.
4. It is important for the potatoes to be sliced as thin as possible since they are placed on the pizza raw. If you have a mandolin, this is the time to break it out.
5. Toss the potato slices in a few tablespoons of rosemary olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. (Note: to make your own rosemary olive oil, pulse together some fresh rosemary and high-quality, extra virgin olive oil in a food processor or blender. Rosemary is strong so a little goes a long way. Start with 1 sprig to a cup of oil and add more if need be.)
6. Sprinkle the grated Grana Padano last.
7. Check for any "dead spots," a.k.a. any bare spots that have no toppings. Also check to see that the toppings go right to the edge of the crust. Hill calls this "edge discipline."

A Department of Energy program that opens some of the world's most powerful computers to researchers around the globe has generated a promising lead for a Parkinson's disease treatment.
A team led by researcher Igor Tsigelny of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD) used the Blue Gene/P supercomputer at DOE's Argonne National Laboratory to simulate how proteins called alpha-synucleins (aS) damage neurons. The simulation showed in detail how aS molecules join into ring-like structures that penetrate the cell membranes and create pores. In the case of Parkinson's disease, the pores can lead to death in the brain's dopamine-producing cells, causing loss of mobility and other symptoms that worsen over time.
Tsigelny is collaborating with UCSD neuroscientist Eliezer Masliah to verify the modeling and simulation findings. The computational work also generated leads for a drug to slow Parkinson's progression. Tsigelny and Masliah already have experimental results that support their hypothesis.
The SDSC team did its simulation with a grant of 1.2 million processor hours on the Blue Gene/P, ranked as the world's fastest computer dedicated to unclassified research, through DOE's Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program. INCITE opens DOE's most powerful computers to scientists and engineers for simulation and modeling projects with the potential to make major advances.
Tsigelny's team has received INCITE allocations on Blue Gene for three straight years, starting with 16,000 processor hours in 2006 and 75,000 in 2007.
"Because this study needs a lot of computation, a supercomputer is absolutely necessary," Tsigelny said. "Without supercomputing, I wouldn't be able to make these discoveries."
At least half a million people in the U.S. are believed to suffer from Parkinson's and about 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke reports.
Clumps of aS in the brain have long been associated with Parkinson's and other degenerative diseases, but Tsigelny said by the time clumps appear, the damage has already been done. The disease starts when aS aggregation on cell membranes creates pores – long before clumps appear.
Proteins are the cell's workhorses, carrying out vital maintenance and metabolic functions. Every organism's cells has thousands of different proteins made of amino acids chains that in most cases fold into precise shapes called conformations. Some proteins, including aS, can have a significant number of different conformations, some of which can cause problems, including disease.
The SDSC researchers developed software called membrane-associated-proteins assessment (MAPAS) that predicts which sections of amino acid chains are most likely to contact and bind a protein to the lipids or fats on the cell membrane. MAPAS helped identify the aS conformations that would lead to the ring-like aggregates on cell membranes.
The team's molecular-scale simulations, which ran on the Blue Gene/P at Argonne's Leadership Computing Facility, helped to identify not only the aS amino acid sections that bind to the cell membrane, but also the contact sections where aS molecules join to form the damaging rings. "We found the vulnerable positions in these rings, where we can now talk about drug design" to prevent them – and the damaging pores – from forming, Tsigelny said.
Masliah's experiments with cultured neurons and electron microscopy confirmed the simulation's findings. Tsigelny and Masliah also are working to develop compounds that can stop aS aggregation in cell cultures – a first step toward a drug to treat Parkinson's disease. Preliminary cell culture experiments show the approach is effective, and the team is conducting experiments in mice.
"It's a very, very good collaboration," Tsigelny says, with simulation results suggesting approaches for Masliah's experiments and the experiments supporting the molecular models.
Because the set of programs and methods developed by SDSC scientists can simulate a number of protein-cell membrane interactions, Tsigelny also is using it to study other conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, kidney diseases and some cancers. The same molecular modeling concepts also can be used to simulate bacteria designed to absorb metals. Such bacteria could have a range of uses, including environmental decontamination.

Sales and Use Tax Description
Massachusetts imposes a sales and use tax on retail sales. In addition to the sales and use tax, there are several separate excises, each limited to a particular type of commodity. These special excises have not been included in this tax expenditure budget.
The Massachusetts sales and use tax, first imposed in 1966, was levied at a rate of 5%. Effective on and after August 1, 2009, the rate was changed from 5% to 6.25%. The sales tax applies to sales made within the state, and the use tax to property and services purchased outside of Massachusetts but intended for use within the state.
Revenue from the sales and use tax represented 23.5% of total Department of Revenue tax collections for Fiscal Year 2013, and was the second largest source of tax revenue after the income tax.
Sales and Use Tax: Basic Structure
Tax Base: For the purposes of this tax expenditure budget, we have chosen not to make any assumptions about the base of the Massachusetts sales and use tax. Some people take a narrow view of what a retail sale is, limiting the term to sales to final consumers, i.e., individuals. Others would include sales to businesses, especially in instances where the purchase will not become an ingredient or component in a product to be sold. In an effort to acknowledge both theories, we will simply list the various exemptions under the sales tax. Some or many of these exemptions could be considered to be properly excluded from the tax base depending upon one's point of view.
Taxable Unit: The sales and use tax is levied on the property or service to be sold or used.
Rate Structure: The sales and use tax rate is 6.25% of the price.
Taxable Period: Except for sales of motor vehicles, in which the tax is imposed and paid by the purchaser to the Registry of Motor Vehicles, the tax is imposed at the time of sale and remitted at specified intervals by the vendor. The use tax is paid directly to the Department of Revenue by the user of the item, and may be paid annually or more often (typically monthly).
Interstate and International Aspects: Massachusetts applies the destination principle to international and interstate sales. Accordingly, exports are exempt and imports are taxable under the sales and use tax. Statutory exemptions for exports of property and for services used outside of the Commonwealth are therefore not listed as tax expenditures.
Types of Tax Expenditures under the Sales Tax
In the case of the sales tax, all tax expenditures are of a single type. They all result from the exclusion of certain transactions from the taxable base. The exclusion can be based on any of a number of characteristics of the transaction - who the buyer is, who the seller is, what the product or service is, what the product or service will be used for, etc. - but structurally all such tax expenditures operate in the same way. Hence, we have omitted the designation of tax expenditure types from the descriptions in this section.

Our objective with Amanda Enterprise is to continue to widen its umbrella to protect most common IT infrastructure elements being deployed in the modern data center. We also seek to support various workflows for secondary and tertiary data as desired by the IT administrators. The new release of Amanda Enterprise (3.3.5) comes with two key features for these objectives.
Hyper-V Support
Hyper-V is a native hypervisor, which is getting increasingly popular especially in Windows server-centric IT shops. Amanda Enterprise now supports image level backup of live VMs running on Hyper-V. We support Hyper-V which is installed as a role either on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008.
One license for Zmanda Windows Client and Zmanda Client for Microsoft Hyper-V enables you to backup an unlimited number of VMs on one hypervisor. You need to run the Zmanda Windows Client on the hypervisor, and configure backups of VMs via Zmanda Management Console (GUI for Amanda Enterprise). ZMC discovers the VMs running on each hypervisor. You can choose whether you want to backup all or a selected set of VMs on each hypervisor.
A full consistent image of the VM is backed up to media of your choice – disk, cloud storage or tape.
Of course, you can continue to install and run separately licensed Zmanda Clients within your virtual machines (guests) to perform finer granular backups. This enables you to recover from smaller disasters (like accidental deletion of a file) without recovering the whole VM. You can consider having different schedules for your file-level or application-level backups and VM level backups – e.g. file-level backups may be performed daily and VM level backups may be performed each weekend.
Vaulting Support
While many of our customers have already implemented disk-to-disk-to-cloud (d2d2c) or disk-to-disk-to-tape (d2d2t) data flows using our products, we have formally introduced Vaulting as a feature supported via Zmanda Management Console. There are two key use cases supported by this feature:
- Backup to disk and then Vault to lower cost disk or remote disk (via NFS)
- Backup to disk and then Vault to cloud or tape for offsite storage
Our implementation allows very flexible media duplication (e.g., you can vault from multiple disk volumes to a smaller number of physical tapes). You can also choose to vault only the latest full backups for off-site archiving purposes. All storage devices supported by Amanda Enterprise can be a source or destination for vaulting (e.g., for one of the backup sets you can vault to a tape library and for another backup set on the same backup server you can vault to cloud storage). The Backup catalog of Amanda Enterprise keeps tracks of various backup copies and will allow for restoration from either the backup media volumes or vaulted volumes.
Note that vaulting is most useful when you want to duplicate your backup images. If you want to have a data flow to periodically move your backups e.g. from disk to cloud, you can simply use the staging area in Amanda Enterprise and treat the storage on staging area as your first backup location.
In addition to above new features, Amanda Enterprise 3.3.5 has several bug fixes and usability improvements. If you are interested in learning more, you can join one of our upcoming webinars (next one scheduled on December 18th): http://zmanda.com/webinars.html
If you are already on the Amanda Enterprise platform, you can discuss upgrading to 3.3.5 with your Zmanda support representative. If you are interested in evaluating Amanda Enterprise for your organization, please contact us at email@example.com

Stanley Cup spends eventful few days in Swedenby Risto Pakarinen
When players get their day with the Stanley Cup, they always, without exception, take it back to where they started. Square one. The four Swedish members of the Chicago Blackhawks who had a date with the Cup this summer gladly continued that tradition.
Blackhawks defenseman Johnny Oduya greeted the Stanley Cup at the Stockholm airport Sunday then rushed it to a dinner with family and friends, guys he's played with since he was a kid. By 10 the following morning, he was hoisting the Cup in Zinkensdamm, his childhood rink in downtown Stockholm, just like he used to hoist red pylons as a child, imagining this moment would come someday.
After that, Oduya took the Cup to the outdoor rink next door, where hundreds of people lined up to take photos with the most iconic trophy in sports.
"I hope that seeing the Cup will inspire them. I don???t remember exactly how old I was when I saw the Cup at the Hockey Hall of Fame, maybe 12, but I remember it was cool," Oduya told Hockeysverige.se.
That night, Oduya took over as disc jockey at Stockholm's Soap Bar, where teammate Marcus Kruger gave the Cup a primer on Stockholm night life. The following morning, the Cup was posing for photos again, this time at Kruger's childhood rink in Huddinge, a suburb of Stockholm.
From there, the Cup boarded flight 161 to Gothenburg, a city that would host hockey's ultimate prize for the first time. It was there Viktor Stalberg, a champion with the Blackhawks who signed over the summer with the Nashville Predators, got his day with the Cup. When Stalberg lifted the Cup out of its case, Mikkey Dee, drummer for the heavy metal band Motorhead and a Gothenburg native, stopped and asked for a photo.
Stalberg then took the Cup to a Frolunda Indians hockey game, the local golf course, a children???s hospital, and his father's clothing store. The final stop of the day was Bar Himmel, where guests, including Dee, attended one final party with the Cup.
The trophy's last stop in Sweden was a familiar one: the small village of Russnas. Defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson brought the Cup here when he won it in 2010. Then, Hjalmarsson lost his voice the first night, which made giving speeches the next day exceedingly difficult. This time, he was slightly jet lagged, having returned from his honeymoon in Singapore and Bali the day before the Cup's arrival.
"The best part of having the Cup here is that I can share it with everybody," said Hjalmarsson, who arrived to his event on the back of a wagon pulled by a tractor.
The day's festivities included taking the Cup to Hjalmarsson's hockey school and to the opening of an inline rink he financed.
After that, it was time for a bigger celebration in the slightly bigger town of Eksjo. Thousands gathered at the market square, where Hjalmarsson walked onto the stage and hoisted the Cup wearing his youth team???s blue jersey. As he was greeted by a cheering crowd, a local band played the Blackhawks' signature goal song, "Chelsea Dagger" by the Fratellis.
While Hjalmarsson danced with the Cup above his head, the band launched into a special, Swedish version of the song, its lyrics carrying extra significance on this special day:
"Many long years have passed, but we have never lost faith. Now you've returned home."

Tell Us About Your Quilt
This quilt was inspired by a Joseph's Coat quilt pattern that I saw in 2009. I was absolutely smitten with the random pops of color in this design and couldn't stop thinking about it.
I had only completed one quilt and wasn't even sure I liked quilting. The first quilt I'd made was a gift and I decided I really wanted one for our family. I figured I'd try one more and used the Joseph's Coat quilt as my inspiration.
I was sewing clothing at that time and since I wasn't committed to quilting I didn't want to cut into my yardage. I sketched a petal shape and began to cut the circles from my scrap bin. I knew I would need a couple of yards for the background so I used some of the muslin that I had for trial runs of new clothing patterns and the backing is a vintage sheet. It is truly a 'make it do' kind of quilt!
I can not describe how exciting it was to have this quilt come together and as the process went along I realized I didn't want to stop at one more quilt!
What Do You Love About Using Scraps or Re-purposed Fabrics?
I love using scraps because I have the hardest time throwing away pieces of fabric. I found myself holding on to more and more small pieces after several occasions where I'd used up a favorite print and then discovered it was no longer available for purchase.
Quilting is the only method I've found that can take such tiny pieces of fabric and turn it into something that's not only beautiful, but useful. I find that so fulfilling.
Scrap quilting is also a great opportunity to put all of my favorite fabrics in one place and have them look amazing together!
Tell Us About Yourself and About You as a Quilter
I started sewing clothing and handbags when I was 16, but definitely feel I've found my niche in quilting. I'm coming up on my 4th year in August. I hope to continue challenging myself as a quilter and am thankful for my branch of the MQG here in Atlanta and the online sewing community. They both provide so much inspiration and encouragement. I have many quilters in my family tree and I love that I'm adding to our quilting history in my own way.

As you know, a revised English-language translation of the Roman Missal has been approved by the Holy See for use in Canada. The Missal is the book that you see the priest use as he presides at Mass. It contains all the prayers and indications that guide the ordained and lay faithful in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
The Roman Missal's official Latin edition, or what is often referred to as the editio typica, was revised by the authority of Blessed Pope John Paul II in 2002, with some new material, such as feasts of newly-canonized saints, some new Prefaces for the Eucharistic Prayer, and clarifications in the way we celebrate the Holy Eucharist.
This necessitated the preparation of a revised version in the various languages of the world.
The bishops of English-speaking dioceses around the world are using the gift of this revised Missal as an occasion to revise our English translation of the Mass from the original Latin, in conformity with the new norms for translation found in Blessed John Paul II's instruction Liturgiam authenticam of 2003.
The use of the newly translated Missal becomes obligatory in the Archdiocese of Edmonton and throughout our country in all English-language liturgical celebrations of the Roman Rite on the First Sunday of Advent, Nov. 27, 2011.
The revised French-language translation of the Missal will be approved and published over the coming months.
As a result of the new English translation, you will notice some changes to the prayers, acclamations and responses that are proper to the lay faithful. To help you, pew cards have been prepared by the Publications Service of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The document that gives overall direction for the proper celebration of the Mass, entitled The General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM), and has also received approval from the Holy See for implementation in Canada. The GIRM stipulates the norms to be followed for the correct celebration of Mass, including directives pertaining to posture.
Although the official implementation date is the same as that of the Missal, the First Sunday of Advent, I have authorized the priests of the archdiocese to begin implementing the GIRM immediately in order to assist you in your preparation.
These directives have as their intention to assure consistent practice in the archdiocese and conformity with the universal law of the Church. This is very important. The oneness of our faith is to be apparent in the unity of our gestures and posture at the Sacred Liturgy.
Your priests will guide you through the various directives. In this letter I wish to bring to your particular attention the posture to be adopted for the Consecration and the appropriate way to receive Holy Communion.
The GIRM makes clear that the posture to be assumed by the faithful at the Consecration is kneeling. Therefore, in the Archdiocese of Edmonton the faithful are to kneel at the conclusion of the Sanctus ("Holy, Holy, . . .") and to stand when the priest announces "The Mystery of Faith."
Those who may not be able to kneel for such reasons as infirmity or lack of space are invited to make a profound bow when the celebrant genuflects at the Consecration of the bread and again at the Consecration of the wine.
As to the reception of Holy Communion, the GIRM directs that the proper posture is standing, although it does make allowance for those who wish to receive kneeling to do so. While standing before the minister of Communion, the recipient first makes a bow of the head before reception to reverence the Blessed Sacrament.
Reception of the Host may be either in the hand or on the tongue. When receiving on the hand, one hand is to be placed over the other, so that the Host may be placed by the minister in the hand. It is inappropriate for the recipient to take the sacred Host from the minister.
The Host is to be consumed immediately upon receiving it. When receiving on the tongue, the recipient's hands are to be reverently joined.
This moment of change is a wonderful occasion for a renewed appreciation of the mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist. Your parish priests and pastoral team can direct you to many resources that offer excellent liturgical catechesis pertaining to the Mass.
May the Lord bless all of us with not only greater understanding of the Eucharist but also, and most importantly, an ever deeper love for and reverence before this most sacred mystery.

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that can be caused by many things, including viruses, alcohol, and drugs. The most common viruses that attack the liver are hepatitis A, B and C.
Hepatitis A and B can be prevented with vaccinations, which you can get from your health care provider. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C.
Take a short online quiz to find out if you are at risk.
There is no specific treatment for hepatitis A, which spreads from person to person by the fecal-oral route by means such as poor hand-washing practices, eating uncooked food prepared by an infected person, and sexual contact. Hepatitis A does not become chronic, meaning you will not remain sick over time. Once your body fights off the illness, a lifetime immunity develops.
The hepatitis A vaccine is the best way to prevent an infection.
Anyone who comes in contact with the blood, semen, or other bodily fluids of an infected person may contract hepatitis B. Hepatitis B can be transmitted from mother to child at birth. A person who develops chronic (life-long) hepatitis B infection is at risk for developing serious liver disease. The hepatitis B vaccine is the best way to prevent an infection.
Newborns who are exposed to Hepatitis B infection have a 9 in 10 chance of developing chronic, lifelong infections that lead to deadly liver diseases. In 2013, the Snohomish Health District's Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program provided case management to 141 pregnant mothers who were at risk to transmit Hepatitis B to their infants.
Our public health nurse works with doctors, hospitals, and their patients so that babies get two shots within 12 hours after birth (hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin). After the delivery, we continue to work with doctors to ensure follow-up care is provided.
Baby Boomers (born between 1945 and 1965) and people who inject drugs are at highest risk to contract hepatitis C. Most people infected with hepatitis C do not know they have the disease until liver damage shows up in medical tests decades after first getting infected with the virus.
There is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis C. A blood test can determine whether or not you are infected. Knowing your hepatitis C status can help you to learn:

Firestone Tires Taking A New Course, Driving Off Into IndyCar Sunset
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
March 6, 2011: After spending 100 years on the tires of some of the world's fastest drivers, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations said that it has "mutually agreed" with IndyCar to allow its Firestone brand sponsorship and supply contract to expire at the end of the 2011 season.
The decision would affect Firestone's official tire status with the sanctioning body's IZOD IndyCar Series, Firestone Indy Lights, Indianapolis 500 and related marketing. Firestone's lead advertising agency is The Richards Group, Dallas.
IndyCar executives did not indicate what company might replace Firestone except to say that doing so was a top priority. Potential companies include Goodyear (which is the official tire of Nascar), Michelin, Pirelli, Hoosier and Avon, according to industry analysts.
"It's unfortunate to lose a great partner and ambassador for the sport like Firestone," Randy Bernard, CEO for IndyCar, said in a statement. "We are actively engaged in discussions with other tire manufacturers on opportunities to get involved in our sport as we prepare to debut our new car in 2012."
The Firestone brand's connection to the circuit began with the Indianapolis 500 Race in 1911. The Firestone brand's current open-wheel era began in 1991 with title sponsorship of the Indy Lights series.
Nashville-based Bridgestone said the decision is "in line with the company's goal of ensuring the long-term growth of its business and its brands," including Firestone.
"During our long history in racing we have met or exceeded all of our motorsports goals," Al Speyer, executive director for Firestone Racing, said in a statement. "So now it's time to set new goals — for ourselves and our brands."
Speyer stressed that the Firestone brand has been and would continue to be an important part of the global company's business. "Companies that strive to achieve the highest levels of brand loyalty and recognition must continue to find ever more effective ways to communicate their brand messages," said Speyer. "This is part of our process to ensure that we are doing the best we can to support and further strengthen our brands. We're very excited about our future prospects to grow the Firestone brand."
Despite the tire company's lame duck situation this season, Speyer stated that Firestone Racing is "committed to maintaining the highest standards of performance and support through the 2011 season for drivers, teams and fans. He also said that company would continue to develop activation to commemorate this May the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500.
Ray Harroun won the first Indy 500 running on Firestone tires. Including the 2011 event, Firestone tires will have equipped 62 of 95 Indy 500 winners, per the company. After leaving open-wheel racing in 1974, Firestone returned in 1991 with the title sponsorship of Indy Lights. Firestone Racing returned to Indy 500 competition in 1995, and the Firestone brand was on the winning car of the first IndyCar-sanctioned race in 1996.
"This is part of our process to ensure that we are doing the best we can to support and further strengthen our brands."
According to Bernard, "As the fastest, most versatile racing series in the world, IndyCar provides an ideal platform for companies looking to showcase both performance and brand on the track. In fact, Firestone credits its association with our sport in doubling the sales of its street tires in the U.S. during our first five years of partnership."
"I would like to express our deep appreciation for the support we have received from IndyCar, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the participants in the sport and our passionate fans," said Spyer. "We want to commend IndyCar on the recent positive momentum with new engine manufacturers and other corporate partners coming on board and wish the series continuing success."

The world's first beef burger created by stem cells tastes more like cake than steak.
The burger, fried in public in London Monday, lacks the fattiness of regular meat and tastes more like "an animal- protein cake," according to Josh Schonwald, a Chicago-based author and one of two tasting volunteers.
The 5-ounce burger, which cost more than $332,000 to produce, was developed by Mark Post of Maastricht University. Google co-founder Sergey Brin funded the research. Post is among scientists including those at Modern Meadow and New Harvest who are experimenting with ways to grow meat in labs as an alternative to raising livestock, which contributes 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and uses 30 percent of the world's ice-free land, according to an Oxford University study.
"We are catering to beef eaters who want to eat beef in a sustainable way," Post said at the event in London Monday.
Schonwald, the author of a book called "The Taste of Tomorrow," said the steak lacked the fattiness of a regular burger. Hanni Ruetzler, a food scientist and the other tasting volunteer, said the surface was crunchy and the inside was "very close to meat."
Post said he's still working on the twin challenges of improving taste and growing fat. Commercial production could begin in a decade or two, according to Post, whose work on cultured beef began in 2008.
The muscle stem cells, taken by harmless biopsy from living cows, are fed and nurtured so they multiply to create muscle tissue. The cells grow into strands, and 20,000 of them get combined to create one burger. One sample of cells is enough to create up to 20,000 tons of meat in the lab, he said.
Post used fetal bovine serum, taken from the blood of calf fetuses, to multiply the cells after testing as many as 10 alternatives. Current options for nutrients, usually the most expensive part of the process, also include blue-green algae, said Neil Stephens, who studies developments in in-vitro meat research at Cardiff University's Cesagen research center and School of Social Sciences.
The cost is currently the main obstacle to mass production, Stephens said. Fetal bovine serum, also used to make vaccines, costs about $250 per liter, with up to three fetuses required to produce each liter, according to a recent paper published in the journal Regenerative Medicine.
Any association with genetically modified foods is unwarranted, according to Post. "Cultured beef is normal beef," he said. "It consists of cow cells."
Scientists growing lab steaks say alternatives are needed to avoid depleting too much of the earth's resources as the world population increases and meat consumption grows. Cultured meat production uses up to 60 percent less energy, resulting in up to 95 percent lower greenhouse gas emissions and 98 percent lower land use compared with conventional production in Europe, according to a study conducted by Oxford University and University of Amsterdam researchers and funded by New Harvest, a non-profit cultured meat research group.
In Columbia, Mo., Andras Forgacs and his father Gabor are growing meat and leather using bioprinting, the 3-D assembly of tissues driven by computer-controlled processes.
"We've already been growing food with cultures to make beer, wine, yogurt," the younger Forgacs said at a TED talk in in Edinburgh in June. "It's clean, efficient and humane. Perhaps we are ready for something literally and figuratively more cultured."
It's too early to know whether the public is ready to adopt meat that comes from the lab, though so far there hasn't been much organized resistance from vegetarians or industrial producers. Acceptance of in-vitro fertilization could serve to gauge society's response to cultured beef, according to Stephens of Cardiff University.
"What's weirder?" he said. "Growing meat in a dish or growing people in a dish?"

In April 1953, LIFE magazine showed its readers, and especially its female readers, that dressing for work — even if that work was on a factory floor — didn't necessarily mean sacrificing a sense of style. Luckily for the 4.5 million women working in U.S. factories back then, designer Tina Leser was working hard, too.
Many [women] work near moving machinery or poisonous dusts and acids, and must wear coveralls, made for safety and comfort but seldom for style. Now designer Tina Leser, who usually concerns herself with how to look elegant at expensive resorts, has taken up the problem of how to look snappy at a workbench. In a group of clothes called Fashions for Industry released in stores this week, Miss Leser presents her solutions.
Here, LIFE.com celebrates a look that might have been championed by the likes of Rosie the Riveter.
LIFE also graciously included a disclaimer for readers who might balk at the clean and lean appearance of the "factory workers" in the photographs.
The standard, safe — but usually shapeless — factory coverall appears in practical but neatly fitted and attractive versions, although few factory workers who wear them will look as sleek and unstained as the models in this picture.
Some designs have pants legs narrowed so that they can be pushed up and hidden under a skirt on the way to work. To go with her work clothes, Miss Leser suggests instead of the standard tin lunchbox a stylish imported straw basket.
The factory fashions — including the aforementioned "vanished pants" — and the "pushed-up pants" coveralls to be worn not only in the factory but also during leisure activities — gardening, sailing, perhaps grocery shopping — were at-once versatile and convenient. In short, Tina Leser provided women with some rather exciting choices for their workplace wardrobe beyond mannish (and, by implication, unflattering) coveralls.

Kitschy TV Batmobile Fetches $4.6 Million in Arizona Auction
The Batmobile from the 1960s "Batman" television series sold for $4.6 million at this weekend's Barrett-Jackson collector-car auction in Scottsdale, Ariz. The car, known by fans as "the 1966 Batmobile," was built by famous car customizer George Barris for the program.
The often-copied car was based on a 1955 concept vehicle called the Lincoln Futura that Barris bought for $1. In earlier comic books Batman had other cars, and the character has driven a number of ever more impressive Batmobiles in a string of movies that began in 1989. But none of those vehicles has developed the devoted following of the television version.

In some cases, the government has to turn gaming technology for help in some of ts more serious pursuits. The Genesis Pro workstation from Origin PC, our July Product of the Month, can fit the bill where the need for high-end computing is greatest.
The Genesis Pro was able to achieve a score of 5,618 on the Passmark Performance Benchmarks, which makes it the fastest PC ever to come into the lab. This is all the more impressive because of the $3,296 price tag, making it less expensive than most high-end servers.
Given that the fastest computer ever benchmarked in the lab scored 2,200 on the benchmark, achieving three times that speed for about the same price is a really big deal.

Zombie apocalypse strikes -- in cyberspace
This speed and performance was achieved using mostly standard components, and a little bit of knowledge that Origin PC executives, formerly from Alienware, brought over from the gaming world. For games, performance really matters because nothing pushes a system like a modern shooter or open-world role-playing game.
For example, the processor is an Intel Core i7, but it's overclocked, some might say hyper-clocked, to run at 4.5 GHz. It's kept from self destructing using a Frostbyte 360 liquid cooling system. Spot heat measurements showed that the air around the processor never rose much past 70 degrees Fahrenheit, even when we really pushed it. There's also a cooling fan on the processor in addition to the liquid coolant, and another large fan that removes warm air from the case.
The case itself is expertly vented and segmented. The Corsair HX 1050 power supply sits in a separate chamber from the motherboard, with its own cooling fan. All the wires that connect the power supply to the ASUS motherboard, and indeed most of the wires for all the components, sit behind a firewall panel under the board, which is mounted vertically.
Lots of holes with rubber stops allow for easy access to the wires and enable the running of new ones. The case opens up from both sides, so everything is accessible. The side with the actual motherboard on it has a glass window. While this adds a little bit of a style element, it also lets technicians read codes from the motherboard, which are displayed in bright red LEDs, without cracking open the case.
Graphics are handled by an NVidia GTX 680, which is a very nice video card. The huge block of a card takes up a lot of space inside the case, though it's so roomy inside the two-foot tall by 25-inch deep housing that you will hardly notice.
Memory is fast of course so as not to be a bottleneck to the other components. The Genesis Pro we tested used 32G of Vengeance Dual Channel DDR3 rated at 1600Mhz. Combined with the 64-bit Windows 7 operating system, this means nothing is going to get stuck in the system busses, even for a millisecond. It's about as close to true pass-through memory as you can get.
Tips from the gaming world
Taking another tip from the gaming world, the Genesis Pro has two hard drives. The first is actually two 90G Corsair Force GT solid state drives configured to RAID 0. This means there are no moving parts, so it can be extremely fast. The Windows 7 operating system is installed there, though extra space is available as a home for other often-used programs that require a lot of disk access.
The second hard drive is a terabyte-sized Corsair Black Caviar model. It's a normal hard drive, but is also extremely fast, more than enough for most programs. You are probably going to install most of the software you use onto it.
Rounding out the mix of features is a 24x CD/DVD burner and a media card reader. And there are two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports right in the front, with more 2.0 ports around back. Video output can be achieved different ways, but the HDMI ports are probably the way to go.
We ran the Genesis Pro full out for about a month, throwing every application we could at it both in quick bursts and sustained testing. It never wavered, so we could tell that this was not just a bunch of components tossed together without much thought. Instead, they form a tight system that's ready for the long haul.
It's not a surprise that former executives from Alienware, a company that really was among the top names in gaming for years, would bring a lot of that need-for-speed knowledge over to the federal government. They even launched a government, commercial and business division to specifically serve this market.
You won't find a better-performing workstation for the price it's being offered, which was surprisingly low given all that it can do. For that reason, we name the Genesis Pro the July product of the month, and give it our highest recommendation.

DENVER (AP) Billed as Denvers first legal private cannabis club, Club 64, met Monday afternoon at a Larimer Street retail store.
We will have a ribbon cutting. We will probably go until New Years and a little after. There will probably be some cannabis, said Robert J. Corry Jr., Club 64s general counsel.
And, in tiny Del Norte in southern Colorado, a private marijuana den attached to the White Horse Inn coffee and head shop along U.S. Highway 160 was already open by late Monday morning.
Corry was a leading proponent of Amendment 64, which won voter approval in November and made it legal in Colorado for people 21 and older to possess 1 ounce of marijuana, grow up to six marijuana plants and give marijuana to another adult.
But Coloradans cant smoke or consume marijuana publicly and openly, according to the law.
They can smoke or ingest pot at home and, as Corry and White Horse Inn owner Paul Lovato are assuming, they can also do so inside private marijuana-friendly businesses.
Nothing in the amendment language permits consuming (marijuana) openly and publicly, said Mark Couch, spokesman for the state Task Force on the Implementation of Amendment 64.
The rules on any clubs or lounges, Couch said, will be sorted out in the months ahead by legislators, law enforcement and the task force. He suggested law enforcement should be contacted for clarification.
Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the department would have to consult with city attorneys. Denver Assistant City Attorney David Broadwell said he had no comment, except the city awaits further guidance from the state.
State Attorneys General Office spokeswoman Carolyn Tyler said the task force should be asked questions related to implementation of Amendment 64.
Legal recreational marijuana sales can be made only through licensed pot shops, which will not be licensed until June and cannot be opened until October, Couch said.
Meanwhile, celebrations were afoot at Club 64, a chartered members-only club devoted to the use of cannabis.
Club 64s location, Corry said, will be disclosed to members only through its website, Club-64.com. Corry said the club will run on private membership fees, and other refreshments not cannabis will be sold there.
Were making it safe for people, Corry said. There are a lot of people who, for one reason or another, cant smoke at home.
People might not want to smoke near children, he said. They might have a disapproving spouse. They might live in a rental home where its prohibited.
People are social by nature. Its important at this time to provide a safe place for them to associate and celebrate this new freedom, said Chloe Villano, a Club 64 owner whose Cloverleaf Business Solutions consults with medical marijuana businesses.
