Cajun's Wharf Christmas Camp 2014
If you haven't yet read the post by Heidi, aka Margarita Mama, on our recent Saturday afternoon at Cajun's Wharf Christmas Camp 2014, please check it out here. As she said, we and about 2 dozen Arkansas Women Bloggers spent the afternoon with the Cajun's Wharf crew, eating, drinking and having a grand ole' time.
First up was a wine tasting with Dan, the manager at Cajun's Wharf.
Dan let us sample A to Z 2013 Oregon Riesling, Yali Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, Adelsheim Pinot Noir, also from Oregon, and St. Francis Merlot from California's Sonoma Valley. My favorites were the Riesling, which was very refreshing and not nearly as sweet as many Rieslings are, and the Merlot, which was rich and lush — everything a Merlot ought to be.
Next up was lunch. Just in case you didn't know it, Cajun's Wharf is now open for lunch Monday through Friday. And their lunch menu is quite varied — think seafood, salads, soup, sandwiches and burgers, plus appetizers and desert.
First up were the appetizers. The table I was at couldn't decide what appetizers to try, so our awesome server brought a little bit of everything. It was all so good, especially the Oysters Bienville, which Heidi had to convince me to try by promising it would be as good as the last oyster she talked me into eating in Gulf Shores! It was! I think I'll definitely order the Oysters Bienville again.
As far as the other appetizers, the artichoke dip at Cajun's Wharf has long been a favorite of mine. Oh, and I can't leave out the shrimp and crawfish cakes with the slightly spicy cream sauce — I could have eaten the entire plate of those!
After the appetizers, it was a wonder I had room for lunch. Ha, who am I kidding — of course I had room for lunch! My pick was the Shrimp Enchiladas, a dish that combined shrimp, cheese and sour cream. It's like they wrote that recipe just for me!
Somehow I failed to get any good pictures of desert (sorry!) but we sampled chocolate ganache Key lime pie, coconut cream pie, white chocolate bread pudding and chocolate creme brulee and a pumpkin pie. Everything was good, but my heart will always belong to chocolate creme brulee.
After all of this deliciousness, it was time to get cooking, err, cooking tips, that is!
Mary Beth Ringgold, the co-owner of Cajun's Wharf, Capers and Copper Grill restaurants, was our teacher for the afternoon. I was thrilled to see that the recipe she was cooking for us was Mussels and Clams in Tomato Broth. Mussels are a dish that my husband makes for us occasionally, so I was excited to take him home a recipe that adds in clams!
Mussels and Claims in Tomato Broth
- 2 lbs. Mussels
- 30 each Little Neck Clams
- 2 TBS Olive Oil
- 2 TBS Butter
- 1 Shallot, minced
- 1 each Red, yellow and green bell pepper
- 1/2 Medium yellow onion — you can use leeks instead
- 4 each Garlic cloves
- 6 sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 1 cup White Wine***
- 1 each Lemon juiced
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 TBS Clam juice
- 1 can Rotel
- Pinch of Red pepper flakes
- 1 Fresh tomato
- 1/2 cup Rough chopped parsley
- 2 TBS Butter for finishing
- Salt and pepper to taste
*** Don't cook with any wine you wouldn't drink. — Mary Beth Ringgold
1. Rinse and scrub the mussels and clams.
2. Discard any that have opened or have broken shells.
TIP: If a shell is just partially opened, gently tap it on the side of the stock pot or counter. If it closes back on its own, it is still alive and fine to cook. If it does not, it is dead and you need to toss it!
3. Heat oil and then butter in a stock pot.
4. Saute the onion, shallot, garlic and thyme — do them in this order, especially the onion first.
5. Add the wine, chicken stock, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
6. Add the clam juice and the Rotel.
7. Bring to a light boil.
8. Add the Clams, bring back to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes.
9. Add the mussels and cook until the shells start to open.
10. Add the reserved butter, parsley and fresh tomatoes.
TIP: Discard any mussels and clams if their shells do not open!
11. Serve with plenty of garlic bread or toasts.
Next on the agenda was a whiskey tasting. Now I know what you're thinking — You don't like whiskey. I admit, I've often been sitting right there next to you on the "It tastes Yucky" bench. But apparently, we haven't been drinking the right kind of whiskey!
What we tried were four types of sipping whiskey. All four were made in Nashville in small batch distilleries. And I liked three of the four, especially when I diluted them slightly.
Both the Collier & McKeel Tennessee Whiskey and the Belle Meade Bourbon Whiskey had a little bit of a sweetness to them, which really surprised me. I've NEVER thought that whiskey could have vanilla and maple syrup notes in it, but the Collier & McKeel did.
And being born in Kentucky, I'm glad to say I can now drink at least one type of bourbon, even if it is made in Tennessee.
I can't quite describe the Rye Whiskey, other than to say it was very smooth and I liked it. Did you know that Ryes are considered an Old World whiskey, while the Tennessee Whiskey and Bourbon are New World ones — largely because the latter two are made with corn, which was plentiful in the United States, but not Europe.
Sadly, the one I wasn't a fan of is Corsair Artisan's Triple Smoke Single Malt, which was named Whiskey Advocate's "Artisan Whiskey of the Year." The grains in the Triple Smoke had been smoked over three kinds of wood or fuel, including peat, which is pretty cool. Unfortunately, all my novice palate tasted in the whiskey was smoke.
Our last whiskey treat was a Tennessee sipping cream by Whisper Creek. Oh my word, it was good! If you like Bailey's, you would like this. I think this would make an excellent treat on a cold winter's night!
Many thanks to Cajun's Wharf for inviting us to spend the afternoon with you. I had a blast!
"Mary, Did You Know?"
"Mary, Did You Know?" is one of my favorite "newish" Christmas songs. According to the always-reliable Wikipedia, it was written in 1984 by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene and first recorded by Michael English in 1992.
I heard English's version when I was in high school and have loved the song ever since. Since then, tons of people have covered the song, including my all-time favorite version from Acappella. But now you can add a second a capella rendition to the list — this time by Pentatonix. Their version of the song gave me goosebumps — really gorgeous!
While it is still too early for me to listen to Christmas carols, this is one song I can make an exception for. Enjoy.
Florida school bungles active shooter drill
So apparently, police officers in Winter Haven, Fla., held an active shooter drill at a middle school on Thursday. Unfortunately, students (and their parents) were not notified in advance, so the terror that the children displayed during the drill was all too real.
You can read the full story from The Washington Post here.
I wanted to highlight one particular quote from the school district:
"Unfortunately, no one gets an advanced notice of real life emergencies," Polk County Public Schools spokesman Jason Gearey said in an e-mailed statement to The Washington Post. "We don't want students to be scared, but we need them to be safe."
And have I mentioned that the officers were armed?
Stacy Ray told WTVT that she received a text from her seventh-grade daughter Lauren Marionneaux after two armed officers burst into her classroom. Winter Haven police told The Post that one of the officers had his duty firearm – a handgun – drawn. The gun was loaded,
as required. The other officer was carrying an unloaded AR-15. According to Ray, one of her other children texted: "I thought he was going to shoot me."
Now most of y'all know that I'm a journalist and I rarely comment publicly about news events because of that fact. But I'm pretty livid about what went down at this school.
When I was a kid, we didn't need to simulate a tornado to do a tornado drill. We didn't need to set a classroom on fire to participate in a fire drill. So I'd like the police and school officials in Winter Haven, Fla., to answer this — why do you need to scare children to death in order to conduct an active shooter drill? Why couldn't there be a PA announcement before the drill started? Why couldn't parents be told a day or two in advance so they could prepare their children for the drill?
I know that our children go to school in a different world from the one I grew up in. I recognize that schools can be the target of violence and evil. I am eternally grateful to the teachers and administrators who protect and educate my child on a daily basis. I am thankful for the police officers who would run into my daughter's school to protect her should that ever be necessary.
But what happens when the school and the police are the one terrifying our children? When they are the boogeyman?
Is it really necessary to sacrifice their innocence and scare them to death in the interest of keeping them safe? I think the answer is no. What do you think?
Wordless Wednesday
Matt snapped this wonderful picture of Alaina last week. I love the joy on her face.
A Haunted Blog Hop — Part 4
Welcome to Part 4 of the 2014 A Haunted Blog Hop! If you've hopped over here from Minivan Momma, Desperately Seeking Gina or Our Everyday Dinners, thanks so much for visiting me!
If you haven't read the first three parts of the story, you'll want to start here and work your way through the links to get back to me!
The cookie was heavenly. She quickly finished it, licking the crumbs off of her lips. Eli handed her another one, which she devoured. Eli laughed and said, "Good, right?"
Then he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the crowd.
She followed, taking two steps for his one, as she was pulled along with Eli and the dancing girls toward the lights and the music. Suddenly, she stopped as she realized that she wasn't limping. Her feet didn't hurt. She wasn't falling. Her body wasn't betraying her. She felt whole.
She looked at Eli with questions in her eyes. He smiled and pulled her toward the carousel.
They climbed aboard and each mounted a pony. Ruby smiled because her pony had emerald eyes, just like papa. "Just like papa," she thought and the smile vanished from her face.
Her sadness was quickly dispelled when the carousel started spinning, slowly at first, then faster, and faster and faster until the outside world was just a blur of lights and it seemed like they would be thrown off and dashed into a thousand bits. As Ruby opened her mouth to scream, Eli whispered in her ear, "Hold on. It will all be over soon." Ruby couldn't understand how he was whispering when he was on another carousel horse and they were spinning faster than a top.
But his words calmed her. And just like that, the spinning stopped.
As Eli helped her down from the carousel, she looked more closely at her surroundings. To her left was a Master of Ceremonies in a coat and tails with his top hat rakishly perched atop his head. In front of her were the dancing girls, laughing at something the Strong Man had just said. And to the right was Eli — handsome, perfect Eli.
"Eli, what is all of this? I don't understand," Ruby said.
Eli just smiled, "Just enjoy," he said, as he pulled her further and further into the carnival.
And enjoy she did. Hand in hand, Eli and Ruby rode rides, played games and feasted on cotton candy and funnel cakes. Finally in the hallway of mirrors, Eli kissed her. Ruby thought she might die of happiness right then and there.
Hours later, Ruby hugged a teddy bear that Eli had won for her at one of the game booths. 'This night is perfect,' she thought to herself.
"It certainly is," Eli said as he brushed his lips over her hair.
She jumped. "Wait, I didn't say that out loud," she protested.
"You didn't have to," Eli said. "Here, in this place, we are connected. I can hear your thoughts. I can feel what you feel. I live, I breathe because you live and you breathe."
"This can't be real," Ruby said. "No wonder this seems perfect. It isn't real," she said, as she started to cry.
"But it can be," Eli said. "If …" and his voice trailed off.
"If, what?" Ruby asked.
"If you're willing to pay the price," Eli said, as he grabbed her hand and pulled her toward another tent, one she hadn't even noticed. As they neared the tent, she tried to read the sign by the door, but it wasn't in English. Actually, it didn't look like words at all — rather, it looked like some sort of runic inscription or hieroglyphics.
"Eli, what is this place? What price?," Ruby said, her voice becoming more shrill with each word out of her mouth.
"Shh," Eli said, as he held her tight. "All will be explained."
What is the price? And will Ruby agree to pay it? Read the thrilling conclusion to our Haunted Blog Hop on Thursday at JunQue RethunQue.

Wordless Wednesday: Haircut
Alaina got her first big-girl haircut last Saturday. WooHoo!
Until now, we had been taking her to a salon that caters to kids. It did the trick — especially in making her comfortable enough to allow someone to cut her hair. But they're always packed AND loud, so I wasn't looking forward to her next haircut.
But on Saturday, it dawned on me that my hair stylist said she cuts kids' hair. Since I already had an appointment for myself, I called to see if Beth would have time to cut Alaina's hair too. Luckily she did!
So Alaina and headed had a little mommy/daughter time as we both got haircuts Saturday. I was amazed at how grown up my little girl was in the big chair.
So many thanks to Beth at Payton Place Salon in North Little Rock for doing a great job on Alaina's hair! Farewell to the children's salon — this mama's little girl is ready for the big chair now!
The Great Squirrel Caper
Well that was interesting.
For the past few days, we've heard squirrels scratching away in the attic. Matt and I would look at each other and say, "We've got to get those squirrels out of the attic." But neither of us really had any idea how one would go about such a task. So it would be forgotten until those squirrels started scratching again.
Then yesterday we heard a squirrel in the bathroom wall. Uh oh, the little rodent had just upped the stakes. But how do you go about getting a squirrel out of a wall?
But then this afternoon happened. We heard the squirrel under the dishwasher. Now don't ask me HOW the squirrel got from the bathroom wall to under the dishwasher, but the little guy did. So Matt tries to lure him out from under the dishwasher before the little rat with a fluffy tail eats the wiring or the insulation, fries himself and/or sets the house on fire.
Next thing we know, the squirrel is in the dryer. Once again, I've really no clue how he got from Point A to Point B, but he did. Then Matt is trying to get him to run out the patio door. But by this time, the squirrel has caught the attention of Ginger and Abby who have spent countless hours in the backyard trying to lessen the squirrel population one furry kill at at time. A squirrel is in their house — oh the indignity could not stand! So they run at the squirrel, trying to catch it and generally terrifying the creature more than it already was.
The next thing I know, the squirrel is running toward the back of the house to the bedrooms. Into Alaina's room it goes. (Thankfully Alaina is sitting at the dining room table and not in her bed when this goes down.) Because Alaina's bed is where the squirrel is headed. He runs up the side and to the headboard, where he balances precariously. BTW, squirrels have seriously awesome balance. Then he crosses her room in a flash and starts to climb up the bookcase. The books in the bookcase thwarted his attempt to hide in the shelving — another use for a children's library!
At this point, I've handed Matt a small cardboard box with the idea that he should trap the squirrel in the box. I don't know WHY I thought the squirrel could be caught in a box. He couldn't. Instead, he dodges the box and heads back to the laundry room. By this point, we've opened the front door and are attempting to escort it from the premises. FINALLY, the squirrel runs to freedom and leaves the house.
So thus is my tale of The Great Squirrel Caper and how the Chase family spent their Sunday evening.
P.S. My Cat is a worthless specimen of catliness. As all of this was going down, my cat just looked at the squirrel, kind of like she was asking him, "Who are you? And why are you here?" But she made no effort to catch him. Obviously, Arkie Mama's Mr. Kitty would not have allowed such an interloper into the house. Maybe I need to borrow him for a few days.
When I Walk
Jason DaSilva is a documentary filmmaker who was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis when he was 25. Trust me when I say in the wide world of MS it really doesn't get worse than primary progressive. It is fast, aggressive and debilitating.
To understand his disease (and help others understand too) he did what he knew to do. He made a film about it.
When I Walk was filmed over seven years and shows how a very active young man very quickly found himself in a wheelchair. He tried various treatments — nothing worked. There are drugs for those of us with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The drugs don't offer a cure — but they can buy time. There are no treatments for progressive MS. There is nothing to stop the effects of a terrible disease.
But the film isn't all sadness. During the seven years DaSilva is shooting and editing When I Walk, he falls in love and gets married to a woman named Alice whose mother has MS. They struggle with his disease and the constant demands it makes on them. But they find happiness. They try to have a child and Alice suffers a miscarriage. But at the end of the movie, Alice is pregnant.
Yesterday (Oct. 9) on Meredith Vieira's talk show, the world met Jason and Alice's 18-month-old son, Jase. You can watch the interview here.
It was wonderful to see the newest member of the DaSilva family.
When I Walk is a difficult film to watch. It is raw, it is painful, it is real. There are highs and there are lows. But at the end of the day, Jase is a very real reminder that MS doesn't win. Life goes on.

Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC), on Monday, posted a 16 per cent growth in net profit at Rs.1326.14 crore in the fourth quarter on the back of higher core income.
The net profit of the company stood at Rs.1,141.95 crore in the same period last year.

While net interest income (NII) of HDFC increased by around 24 per cent to Rs.1,867 crore during this period, profit on sale of investments declined to Rs.79 crore from to Rs.133.60 crore a year earlier.
For the whole of 2011-12, HDFC posted a 17 per cent rise in net profit to Rs.4,122.62 crore compared to Rs.3,534.90 crore reported a year earlier.

However, the company has seen marginal decrease in revenue terms from its subsidiaries, which are engaged in life insurance, and asset management business among others.
"Last fiscal, around 25 per cent profit has come from our subsidiaries. Going ahead, this ratio will increase," Mr. Mistry said. On capital adequacy front, HDFC's has a total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 14.06 per cent by the end of March quarter with a Tier-I capital of 11.7 per cent. — PTI

For the first time the quality of urgent and emergency health services has been investigated from the perspective of the patient rather than according to which organisation provided the care.
The picture is one of a myriad of different services from NHS Direct, GP out of hours services, walk in centres, minor injuries units, ambulance services and A&E departments, with patients left confused about where to go and what phone numbers to call.
The report found ambulances are often delayed discharging patients at hospital, GP out of hours services were too slow, and there were too many avoidable admissions to hospital.
The Healthcare Commission called for a new target set on the time from a patient first calls for help, whether its 999, NHS Direct or GP out of hours to the time they are treated to better reflect real experiences. Currently only the ambulance response time and the wait in A&E are measured as they are subject to targets.
The report also recommends a single, national urgent care number should be piloted to sit alongside 999 and direct people to the appropriate service for their needs and where waiting times are shortest.
More than half of respondents to a Healthcare Commission survey said they always or sometimes had problems getting through to their GP practice or health centre by phone and a quarter said the opening hours had put them off going to their doctor.
It is thought problems contacting GP services out of hours has contributed to a 20 per cent rise in A&E and urgent care centre attendances in the last four years to reach 19.1m in 2007/8.
Providing urgent and emergency care costs £56 for each person in England per year.
The Healthcare Commission has rated all 152 Primary Care Trusts in England as they are responsible for purchasing urgent and emergency care for their area.
One in six (28 PCTs/18%) received the worst rating and will have to provide an action plan to the commission.
In general, services in the North East of England performed better than elsewhere and rural areas provided higher than average care but there was wide variation in quality between areas.
Anna Walker, chief executive of the Healthcare Commission, said: "How an area deals with emergency and urgent care on our behalf is absolutely a cornerstone of 21st century healthcare, it really matters to people. There has been some significant improvement particularly in areas where there are specific targets...but there remain issues for patients about access to services. We have found weaker performance tends to be out of hours services not working as well, more difficult access to the GP when needed and category B calls which ambulances should reach within 19 minutes. And services are less good for the vulnerable groups, people with disabilities and long-term conditions."
She said PCTs were not commissioning urgent care as an integrated service and instead were looking at bits of it and people are confused about the services that are available.
The main findings included:
- National targets on 999 life threatening calls attended by ambulance crews within eight minutes are being met along with the four hour A&E waiting time target.
- In some A&E department only one fifth of children with a broken bone received pain relief within an hour of arriving.
- In a third of areas GP out of hours services were too slow to assess the patient's condition after they first called for help.
- More than half of GP services diverted calls automatically to an out of hours service when they were closed.
- Four in ten primary care trusts scored poorly on management.
- Only a third of areas had good networks where different organisations providing aspects of urgent services worked closely.
Professor Sir George Alberti, National Director for Emergency Access said: "Urgent and emergency care offered across most of the NHS to millions of people each year is of a high standard and we welcome the results of this Review by the Healthcare Commission.
"We are not complacent and we recognise the importance of encouraging continuous improvement in local services to ensure the delivery of timely, high quality care to patients. That is why we are working with the Healthcare Commission to host three national events to help Primary Care Trusts use this Review to take stock of where they are and develop their commissioning plans to deliver the expectations set out in the Next Stage Review to improve urgent and emergency cares services to patients."

Great Vacation
We loved your Bald Head Island escape! Location of the villa was perfect for easy beach access and club access. The bikes gave the kids freedom to explore and the golf carts enabled fun and easy island navigation. The villa was laid out well and was bright and sunny. Having beach towels and chairs for us made packing a lot easier...thanks for that! The villa was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would recommend connecting early with the Nature Conservancy as we missed a turtle nest excavation near the villa where two baby turtles were discovered. Also, bringing food over in a large cooler worked out great as transportation from the ferry is easy with door to door service.
Best Reunion Ever
Our family (my husband and I , 6 kids and 17 grandchildren) so look forward to our reunions because we are scattered in 6 different states and getting everyone together doesn't happen easily. I was a little concerned with planning this last get together because we now have lots of teenagers (14) who are a little harder to entertain than the younger children but this house and it's location did it. The beach was so private that we had no worries about them disturbing others as they rode and surfed the huge waves. Then at night we hardly saw them as they kept busy with the pool, the sauna, the ping pong table, and the pool table. As for the adults the beach was perfect for long walks both day and evening and the house left nothing to be desired ( well equipped kitchen, enough beds for all, and extremely clean). We couldn't get over the fact that even though the house is not "on the beach" when sitting on the decks or even looking out the windows it felt like we were. On the day of departure the term I heard over and over was "Best reunion ever". Thank you Mike and Suzanne for the use of your beautiful home for our family reunion.
Loved it!
This condo exceeded my expectations in every way! It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It's RIGHT across the street from the beach and has amazing views. The owners were easily accessible and great to work with. Ocean Isle is gorgeous, and this staying in this condo is definitely going to become a family tradition for us!

Mobile is drastically changing consumers' behaviors and expectations. Forrester calls this phenomenon the mobile mind shift: the expectation that I can get what I want in my immediate context and moments of need. While the mobile mind shift is global in nature, it's most profound here in Asia Pacific (AP): By 2020, 4.3 billion people globally will have a mobile subscription and more than half of them will be in AP. Organizations must take advantage of this and catapult their business to new heights — or risk becoming irrelevant in the eyes of these technology-empowered customers.
Forrester has developed a framework to help eBusiness and channel strategy professionals prepare their organizations for the mobile mind shift that we call the IDEA framework. This is a systematic approach to developing mobile experiences for customers relevant to their context and entails:

The growing affordability of smartphones and increasing ubiquity of high-speed wireless broadband are driving customers toward a mobile mind shift: the expectation that any desired information is available, on any device, in context, in a person's moment of need. Firms in Asia Pacific in general and India in particular have become cognizant of this fact; in 2014, more firms plan to build a mobile strategy for customers or partners than for employees.
I recently spoke with members of the application development team at Torry Harris Business Solutions (THBS) in India. THBS develops mobile apps for clients worldwide. The team revealed that THBS clients now focus much more on user experience (UX) design — so much so that some of them are even willing to spend an additional 5% on top of the total app development cost to get a better design. UX design represents about 30% to 40% of the total mobile app development cost. But a great UX is only half of a mobile engagement; context is the other half. To develop a complete and effective mobile engagement, eBusiness and channel strategy professionals must:

A colleague shared a recent Harvard Business Review article with me after I mentioned seeing The Best American Infographics on display in my local bookstore. The article was a brief interview with the series editor, Gareth Cook, and covered some of his thoughts on what makes a great infographic.
If there was one overall theme, it would be persuasiveness. In fact, this was presented as self-evident — an almost inherent quality of any great infographic — so the interview primarily focused on what makes an infographic persuasive.
"First, I'd say, they all have a clear focus. The designer has gone in and removed all the extraneous details so you see just what you need to understand the message behind it."
I couldn't agree more. In my own graphics, I am constantly trying to simplify and boil them down to the essential elements — from the text and layout to the colors and icons — that help make the point of the graphic clear.
But in the process of simplifying my graphics, I have sometimes found myself approaching a line — and it's one that you do not want to cross — after which the graphic is too simple, lacks sufficient context, and loses all its weight. For example, I've simplified the pie chart below and used color to help emphasize the point of the graphic.

Maps are only growing in importance as they become the primary portal on mobile phones for a growing list of information and services. As Apple showed us last year, it's critical to own maps - and to do maps well, particularly as a growing percentage of time is spent discovering, accessing, and engaging content within maps. With that said, it's not immediately clear to me what justifies a $1B+ (reported) price tag for Google's acquisition of Waze, but I'll assume they did great due diligence or offered a high price to get a deal done.
For instance, many companies do acquisitions for audience, but Google's audience - even just on Android or Google Maps is substantial. Waze's website says 30M users; other sources say 50M. Apparently, engagement among users is high ... but is it well distributed? Are there enough active users in each market for the same excellent experience?
However, Waze does add new features that Google Maps doesn't already have e.g., the ability of users to report traffic issues, police cameras, broken down vehicles - you name it. Layering user-generated content into maps in real time in a way that makes sense and is useful to everyone at that place at that moment is not typical. Mobile needs to be highly contextual in ways people are beginning to understand, but are really struggling to implement well. It also increases speed to market if Google/Android team were otherwise developing this on their own.
With maps integrated into every retail, travel, banking, insurance, (ok go down the list) app on your phone, I don't think any company can have too much map technology, or too many engineers/developers for maps and navigation technology.

The SF 49ers will soon have a new stadium in Santa Clara, CA. This May 30th article from the SF Examiner describes the new stadium as "entirely cashless and ticketless." The assumption is that "... the fans will be carrying around smartphones." "Software engineers are already building apps to order food, watch instant replays, listen to play-by-play and check bathroom lines from the seats."
As a mobile analyst, I love the concept. Has anyone every been to a conference though with thousands or tens of thousands or 68,500 people? How's your Internet connection?
I trust they'll test this.
Posted by Julie Ask on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on June 5, 2012
I saw this article today on augmented reality. It doesn't use the phone — it uses Google Goggles, but you can imagine it as an application on a mobile phone.
The AR glasses makes the food products you see look bigger through the lenses so users eat less. [See article.] You can imagine more scenarios, though, with a mobile phone along with its processing power and contextual information about the user. If I walk in to a sandwich shop, for example, I can scan the options with my phone to find a sandwich that fits my calorie and nutritional requirements. (I spend a lot of time in airports so would love this). Certainly if I pick up a candy bar, I can read the nutritional information or calorie count.
I go back to trying to answer this question, "how does access to real-time information improve our lives — and not simply addict me to accessing information constantly like checking email or Facebook updates?" Health, wellness, and financial services among others are where I see some bigger opportunities.
Posted by Julie Ask on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on May 14, 2012
One of the key things that differentiates mobile phones from any other device is their ability to deliver a constant stream of real time data coupled with the processing capability to help consumers make a wealth of decisions based on this information. Tablets — we're going to leave home without them, and the majority of connections are over Wi-Fi. Wearable technology collects real-time information and may have applications/display, but we aren't yet seeing devices with the same flexibilty as the phone. The highly anticipated Pebble may yet be the device, but for today, it is the phone. (My colleague Sarah Rotman Epps writes a lot on these devices — see the rest of her research for more information).
With that fact established, my open question is, "Who is making my life better with this ability to process information near instantaneously to help me live a better, healthier life . . . or at least how I choose to define it?" I think the key to measuring mobile success must lie here — from the perspective of the consumer first before mobile will deliver huge returns in the form of revenue or lower operating costs.
Posted by Julie Ask on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on February 9, 2012
Let's take a step back, first. You started as the "mobile person" two to three years ago. You siphoned a hundred thousand dollars or so from the eBusiness team budget and got a mobile optimized web site and maybe an application or two built. You measured your success by engagement – web traffic and application downloads. Maybe you measured direct revenue. Life was easy.
Two to three years later, as eBusiness professionals, you've got some experience with building, deploying and maintaining mobile services. You've added tablets to your portfolio. Hopefully you've convinced your organization that you need at least a 7-figure budget. Most industries have seen clear financial returns on these investments so that hasn't been too hard. As eBusiness professionals working on mobile, you were feeling a lot of love.
In 2011, you benchmarked yourselves versus your competition. You looked at native applications by platform and key functionality on mobile web and applications. You took a deep breath and said, "ok, we've done it. We have mobile services. We've checked the box. Mobile web traffic and sales are growing. We're good." Perhaps others with fewer services are thinking, "I can see what we need to do. I think we can catch up if I can get some budget."
The thing you are seeing though is – the finish line is out of sight. Mobile has only gotten more complicated – not less. No one feels comfortable. No one feels they can slow down, stop spending, or rest. Anxiety levels are high.
Posted by Julie Ask on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on January 9, 2012
What am I even talking about? Think about how you use your mobile phone. Do you contact your closest friends? Do you shout and swear at your local telecom provider's IVR because your new home Internet service isn't working as advertised? Do you shop? Bank? Read books? As a result, your phone knows if you are happy or sad. Your phone knows where you live, how fast you drive and where you spend money. Creepy? Maybe if your phone tells you your wife isn't going to like that shirt you are buying. Less creepy if your phone knows you are a Starbucks addict and they are giving away free coffee today. What defines creepy to some extent lies in how much value you perceive in a service. We call this context - what an individual's situation, preference and attitudes are. How you use it will define how creepy it can be.
Your phone will know more and more about you based on some technology that will be in the phone that can sense what you are doing or your feelings, for example. Your phone will also understand your preferences based on how you use the phone. We wrote a lot about this in 2011 - re what is means to you as an eBusiness professional. (See report)

Possible Chelsea Starting Line-Up Against Derby
Chelsea will take on Derby County in the third round of the FA Cup tie at the Pride Park on Sunday, where Blues manager Jose Mourinho will be looking to make the best use of his bench strength.
Mourinho insisted that he will field a strong team on Sunday but expect the Portuguese to make several changes for this tie.
In the defence, young Ryan Bertrand can come in to the side in place of Ashley Cole, while Cesar Azpilicueta will take the right-back job in absence of injured Ivanovic. Likewise, David Luiz may return to the starting line-up, after suspension.
Juan Mata's future has been well speculated in the media but Mourinho has made it clear that the Spaniard will not be sold. Expect, Mata to start in the no 10 role, while another unsettled midfielder Kevin De Bruyne may get another chance to impress his manager. German international Andre Schurrle may start on the left wing while Senegal international Demba Ba could start as a lone striker.
Prediction: 0-3; Expect a convincing victory for the men in Blues.

(Read/heard this on NPR today. Quite interesting...)
About 20 million people in the United States practice some form of yoga, from the formal Iyengar and Ashtanga schools to the more irreverent "Yoga Butt."
But some Hindus say yoga is about far more than exercise and breathing techniques. They want recognition that it comes from a deeper philosophy — one, in their view, with Hindu roots.

Guardsmark Reviews
"Could be a better place with correct leadership in key positions "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Guardsmark full-time (more than an year)Pros
Not a difficult job. Promotions if you stay long enough, overtime, flexible schedule, great for college.Cons
No pay raises, low pay, paper time sheets, some unprofessional behavior, PTO sucks, working holidays, low morale.Advice to ManagementAdvice
To the management I would say to listen to your employees and show them appreciation. If they are working on holidays thank them for it or if they are telling you about unprofessional behavior don't gloss over it and hope it goes away. Stop showing favoritism and start providing raises. You know better than anyone prices are rising in Austin.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Dedicated to creating a new groove-based music, THE DIGS embody the unique perspective of diversity that could only come from Canada's multicultural melting pot, Toronto. To dig is to extract from the ground by breaking up earth, and The Digs are a band reaching down into the roots of American pop music and pulling up a vibrant sound that is an organically constructed embarrassment of riches.
Ultimately, The Digs consist of close friendships built upon the love of music, and the love for one another, and it is this dedication which gives them a consistently renewed energy with each jam-packed gig, each infectious groove, each funky beat. Catch The Digs while you can!
The great Townes Van Zandt once said there are two kinds of music: "The blues and zip-a-dee-doo-dah."
According to this, Mirel Wagner's self-titled debut falls solidly into the blues category. "Songwriting can hardly be more minimalistic, no-frills, more strict as Mirel Wagner's sparse music," according to German magazine Spex; we agree.
