Need Recipe for Really Good Bloody Mary Please
I have never made one, but am all of a sudden wanting one. Any help will be appreciated.
First - you need really good vodka. Don't believe people who tell you all vodka tastes the same because it's a neutral spirit. Not true. Two of the best are Belvedere and Chopin.
Chopin is made in Poland from potatoes while Belvedere is made in Poland from rye - they do NOT taste the same. Grey Goose is okay (made in France) but, not one of my favorites. All of the cheap vodkas taste like they should be used to run model airplanes....
Put a shot of vodka in a glass.
Add a splash of Worchestershire sauce
Add a splash of Tobasco
Stir slightly to mix
Add ice
Add tomato juice (I like V8 because of the extra tang)
If you want, squeeze some lemon into the mix.
Sprinkle Hot Shot (pepper mix) and some Seasonall over the top.
Add a stalk of celery to mix the drink a bit more.
Enjoy + eat the celery as you drink the Bloody Mary.
Tito's Handmade Vodka made in - Austin, Texas - is also a very good vodka. It's won the Double Gold Medal in several competitions over other vodkas from all over the world. It's charcoal filtered which removes the phenols, esters, etc. Extremely smooth, the only vodka I'll drink straight by the shot.
I realize this is an old post and hopfully the OP has sated their appetite for a good bloody mary. I only might add, there are some reasonably good BM mixes on the market that only require the addition of vodka and perhaps the addition of a stalk of celery garnish. These mixes vary in intensity to match your pallett.
I am a bourbon drinker but I keep vodka on hand for friends who don't understand the proper way to make a martini. I buy Tito's because it is a very good vodka and I like to support Texas companies.
I have also discovered Dripping Springs Texas Vodka, which is a copper still vodka like Tioto's. It is hand crafted in Dripping Springs, Texas, which is west of Austin.
I agree that a good vodka is key. I usually buy Chopin, and I won't drink French vodka. But here's a cheap-o way to deal with vodka: buy a middle-of-the-road vodka, and run it through a Brita carafe filter a couple times. No kidding, it becomes as smooth as any super-premium vodka.
As for my bloody mary, I do it by feel, so I don't have exact measurements, but I like mine this way:
vodka (of course)
Campbell's tomato juice
Just a touch of the following ingredients:
celery salt
worcestershire sauce
lemon juice
tabasco sauce
ground prepared horseradish
little bit of sugar
little bit white vinegar
I know it sounds like a lot, but I like the results.

HAVE: Japanese Maple Tree Seedlings
These are about 2 inches tall and have first set of leaves. I have been planting these in pots and practicing my topiary skills on them. Can be used for bonsai also. I can send quite a few per trade.

I am looking for small colored callas, miniature dwarf irises, but open to most anything especially starts of Munson daylilies. I can send a half dozen per one of your plants, bulbs. Can be as large or as small a trade as you want.

What's new: 'The Ministry of Business' provides practical knowledge for achieving success
"THE MINISTRY OF BUSINESS: How Correct Principles Magnify Business Success," by Steven A. Hitz with James W. Ritchie, $16.95, 235 pages (nf)
Growing up in a small Wyoming town, the idea of owning a business never occurred to Steve Hitz during his formative years.
Decades later, after some struggles and educational experiences, Hitz and his wife own and operate several businesses, and he's sharing his secrets in a book titled "The Ministry of Business: How Correct Principles Magnify Business Success."
"Looking back now ... I have often pondered the pathway we have traveled," Hitz said in the book's introduction. "This book is aimed at enhancing your entrepreneurial, career and other life pursuits ... The ultimate purpose of this book is to provide you, the reader, with hope and happiness."
The book, written with James W. Ritchie, was published as part of a leadership program called "Launching Leaders," developed in recent years in New Zealand and targeted at Mormon young single adults. Hitz and Ritchie, along with other entrepreneurs, created a program focused on assisting young adults to develop business careers. The 12-week course is built upon foundational life principles.
Hyrum W. Smith, co-founder and former CEO of FranklinCovey, wrote the foreword for the book.
"He (Hitz) wanted to outline the principles he felt most helpful in attaining the type of entrepreneurial and financial success he and Ginger (his wife) had achieved," Smith wrote. "The overarching claim of the book would be that through living correct moral and spiritual principles, anybody can attain personal, professional and financial success, independence and happiness."

Question & Answers with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
There are so many festivals in India, almost as many as the number of Sundays in a year.
Karva chauth is one festival where women pray for their husband's longevity, and there are stories associated with it. I don't know much about these stories.
It seems that women were very powerful in ancient days. If they tell the sun not to set then it would not set. They said women were powerful to that extent. There are many such stories, and they are all inspiring stories to remind one of a higher cause. So, this is one such festival in India.
Fasting and prayers are somehow connected. In almost every religion and every tradition of the world they have connected fasting and prayer together.
When you fast you are not pleasing some god out there by your fasting. It simply helps to detox your body. When the body gets detoxified then thoughts become positive. When there are too many toxins in the body, and the pancreas, liver and intestine are all congested then your thoughts are all negative and unclear. So fasting is done to have that cleansing effect on your body, not to please a god.
Fasting also has some rules, but people don't follow even the fasting rule properly. People think fasting means that they can eat certain things and cannot eat certain things. You can eat lots of nuts and fruits but not eat cooked food, or rice, or bread. This is not fasting.
Someday people eat boiled potatoes and sweets and say they are fasting. They are fooling themselves. And sometimes, some people who want to fast all day get up before sunrise and stuff themselves with food. Then they fast and as soon as the sun sets, again they stuff themselves. It is a very bad way of fasting.
Fasting has to happen scientifically. Fast with juice and water, some fruits so that the enzymes are generated in the body. The indigested food gets digested. It is very bad eating very late in night on fasting days because your digestive fire is not there to digest that food. So you should not do that.
People fast in an unscientific manner. Fasting should be rational. Almost in every tradition people fast this way – Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus – they all should know the scientific way of fasting.
The Ayurvedic way of fasting is very clearly mentioned. Little bit of fruits, juices, water and lemon. And if your endurance is there then fast just on water, one or two days. This is what we need to educate people.
Even during the month of Ramadan, they fast whole day, the pitta rises, and in the evening they eat so much. This is wrong. In the evening when they eat, they should have salads, fruits, and something light; something that gives rest to the system.
Hindus do fasting during navratri, and they eat jalebis! They eat all the sweets, and boiled potatoes – that is starch! This is not the correct way, there should be only fruits and fruit juices.
You know, do not think kids are a hindrance. There are many who have had small babies and have still been doing tremendous work. We have many teachers who have very small children and still they are working.
Janice is one such example. She has done so much even when she had two little kids. And there is another teacher of ours in Poland, she had three little ones, and with the kids she would teach a hundred or two hundred people.
So we should not think that we cannot do something because of kids. You should definitely not neglect them, you have to take care of them. Give attention to kids, but at the same time, if you have an intention to do something for the society, you can do it. Keep some time for it.
Well, you cannot make someone else think differently, or change their perception. If they think that way, it is up to them. As far as you are centered and strong, you are fine. You go on.
No, they don't need to get rid of local governments. They can have them but along with that they can have a bigger vision.
See, you don't have to get rid of your family responsibilities. You take care of your family, at the same time you can also take care of your village, your city or your county. You can do both roles and there is no conflict between them.
This is another desire! What we need to know is that a desire fulfilled takes you back to the same place you were before the desire arose.
Just imagine your state of mind before a desire arose in you, after all the circus of having a desire and getting it fulfilled, you come back to that same place.
For the intelligent ones, religion is an asset. But for the foolish ones, it is an obstacle. There are some unique specialties in every religion which can help uplift our life and can help us blossom in life. But if we are foolish, then we make the same qualities a cause for differences and problems among people. So it all depends on us.
There is nothing wrong in any religion of the world. It depends on the understanding of the one who follows and practices it. You can use a knife to chop vegetables, slice butter and also to hurt yourself. It is like that.
That is what I have been telling you all this while. Accept the people and situations as they are. And always be in the present moment. Do not keep thinking of what happened in the past or what will happen in the future.
You know, the opposite of this fact is also true. Many times you do not get off to a good start with someone else, but as time passes and you keep your patience, you start liking them. So both things are true.
This kind of cycle comes in everyone's life. You meet someone and like them initially, then after sometime you start disliking them, and again after sometime, you start liking them once again. Just ask your mother and father about this (Laughter). They got married very happily but soon they had small fights and difference of opinion about things.
See that has to be done very skillfully. You must explain and keep your stand before them, but you must also be respectful and listen to what they have to say as well.
Remember this – our elders always have love and our best interests at heart. That is why they advise you from time to time. It is possible they may still be following the old ways and old patterns of their generation, or they may not know the new ways fully well. But their intention is always our well-being. It is just that their way of explaining things to us may be different from what we expect. A little give-and-take can help in simply resolving this with ease.
You are in the right gang. We are all in the same boat, so let us keep doing what we are doing. If we save the mind, then we save the planet earth.
First let us save our mind. Also, millions of people on this planet need this knowledge. Let us reach out to them.
Do you know that 40% of Europe is suffering from depression? 40% of the school teachers, and 30% of the population. 40% is what I read of the school teachers in Germany alone.
With this economic downfall, I am sure it has shot up by another 30% to 40%. People are so insecure and are using Prozac (an anti-depressant). We need to reach out to them with this beautiful knowledge that we have. I was also thinking if some of you can take some time off, we make groups of four and five and go to all these different cities, different towns and do some celebrations.
They did this program in Berlin, where our volunteers would invite their friends and family to their homes, just around twenty to thirty people and the teachers would go and give them a meditation and then walk away. The people felt so uplifted and so many requests started pouring in.
In just two months time, three hundred people learnt meditation in one city Berlin, just by four teachers. So many people came for Satsangs and they meditated and enjoyed.
Like that, many other teachers here did the same work. Swami Jyotirmaya went all over Europe and created a big wave. So I would like some of you, who can take two or three months off and we can tour all over Europe. Maybe we can start from January or February and bring a wave everywhere so that people can meditate.
Those who cannot take time off, but who have resources, you can fund for that project. And those who cannot fund but who have time, you can spend your time.
We can create a wave. Go to small and big towns, put posters saying, 'Come! Let us meditate.' Meditation to uplift the spirit, get rid of depression and all sorts of things. What do you think? Is it a good idea?
As I was sitting here, the thought just came to my mind that I should sit with all the European countries and bring more teachers and send them everywhere in groups of two and three.
Sometimes when someone comes from outside they are more successful. Like the proverb, 'Nobody is a prophet in their own town', that proverb may work.
Similarly, teachers from Europe should go to the far East, Africa and some other countries. Teachers from Africa and America should come here. We should just swap or do something like that. It may also be a good idea so I am thinking how we can do that.
Alex from Netherlands went to Sri Lanka and India. In India they went to so many villages and had so many Satsangs and blessing programs, and lots of people joined in.
The world needs a healing touch.
No government can ever give this human touch or healing touch. No economic institution can bring that inner solace and peace. No economic institution can instill that confidence in the mind and make depression go away. It is only our effort, this spiritual effect. A human touch is needed, the wave of human concern, human care can uplift the people and bring the happiness factor. Don't you think so?! That's what we need to do.
Our aim, our job is to create waves of happiness, like what you see here. How many of you feel the mantra chanting makes you happy and uplifts you? The moment you come into this place, don't you feel happy already? Some people say their energy completely shifted, and they feel uplifted.
You will not find a face that is not happy or not smiling or depressed. One has to be extremely unfortunate to be unhappy even in such an atmosphere. God only will have to help them if there is one such.
So let us do this and think of more ideas.
We can go on Twitter and Facebook.
How many of you are following me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/srisri) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/srisriravishankar)

Punahou School has received the highest possible rating for its commitment to fiscal responsibility from Charity Navigator, the largest independent nonprofit evaluator in the United States.
The savory scent of kalua pig wafted down from the imu pit and mixed with the smell of freshly-picked plumeria blossoms on Friday morning, fragrant reminders that the third-grade lū'au was about to start.
The Punahou Alumni Association Northern California (PAANC) regional chapter held another great event in San Francisco on a recent balmy Saturday afternoon, where alumni ranging from the Classes of 1948 to 2014 gathered to network and learn about Punahou's strategic priorities.
Project-based learning. Public-private partnerships. Service learning. These educational buzzwords were actualized in Punahou's American Studies classrooms this spring, as teachers implemented an applied approach to learning about immigration – both the complicated history of immigration in the United States and the present-day issues faced by lawmakers and immigrants in Hawai'i.
"The U.S. District Court for the district of Hawai'i is now open," said the deputy clerk as she knocked her gavel on the podium. The familiar court scene, announcing the opening of the State's monthly naturalization ceremony, took place not in downtown Honolulu but in an auditorium in Case Middle School.

Started in the early 1980's, Alumni Glee Club is an all welcome group, where having "the heart to sing" is the only prerequisite. Singing mostly Hawaiian music, the group performs at several venues throughout the year, from retirement homes during the holidays to Alumni Lu`au in July.
Practices are held Thursdays at the Alumni House.

.5 lb Corn Sugar
.5 lb Vienna Malt
.5 Carmel 20L
3.5 oz Perle (60 min)
1.5 oz Cascade (15 min)
1.5 oz Cascade (5 min)
1 tsp Irish Moss (10 min)
I just pitched the yeast and put the fermentation lock in on this sucker.
I'm really excited to see how it turns out!
I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks so I'm gonna wait 3 weeks then bottle.
It turned out well. I learned some things though. I'm going to do it all-grain in the future (no more extract tang). Vienna has to be mashed. Also I'm going to dry hop because there was not much aroma. My beer buddies enjoyed it and gave me good feed back as well. Thanks for asking.

Why breastfed babies are so smart
In the study, they wrote that "although breastfeeding has important benefits in other settings, the encouragement of breastfeeding to promote school readiness does not appear to be a key intervention point. Promoting parenting behaviors that improve child cognitive development may be a more effective and direct strategy for practitioners to adopt, especially for disadvantaged children."
A BYU news release pointed out that child development expert Sandra Jacobson from Wayne State University School of Medicine praised the study in one of the journal's editorials. She emphasized that children in the study who were breastfed for at least six months did better than others on reading assessments because they also "experienced the most optimal parenting practices."
That's why they were reading-ready at 4 years, she said.
The same challenges that prevent some women from breastfeeding also prevent the other activities that boost cognitive development, Forste said. They include not being aware of the research showing what's needed, but also lack of time or resources to accomplish them. The good news is that it doesn't have to be mom who provides the extra boost. Dad or someone else can read to the baby every day and other people can also respond to a baby's emotional needs.
As for breastfeeding, there are proven benefits, including studies that show children who are breastfed are less likely to become obese. The American Academy of Pediatrics has a list of health benefits that breastfeeding bestows on babies, including protective benefit against respiratory infections, ear infections, gastrointestinal diseases and allergies, including skin reactions like eczema, among others. The rate of sudden infant death syndrome is reduced by more than a third in breastfed babies, and there is a 15 percent to 30 percent reduction in adolescent and adult obesity, compared to those who were not breastfed.

Bengals QB Palmer signs extension through 2014
CINCINNATI -- Soon after he arrived from Southern California in 2003, quarterback Carson Palmer decided he had found the perfect place to settle down and spend a career.
|Carson Palmer
Cincinnati Bengals
Now, there's no reason to leave.
The Cincinnati Bengals reworked and extended Palmer's contract on Thursday, giving themselves more salary cap flexibility and a chance to keep their franchise quarterback through 2014.
They added six years to a deal that still had three to go, providing Palmer with a chance to make $118.75 million in salary and bonuses over the next nine years. He very well could spend the rest of his career in stripes.
"Hopefully this is the last place I'll end up playing," Palmer said. "That's so rare in this league these days. It's so rare to see a person have a 5-, 8-, 10-, 12-year career in one place. And I feel very fortunate that it looks like that's going to be my future."
The Bengals spent millions of dollars and the better part of a dozen years trying to find the quarterback who would lead them out of one of the longest slumps in NFL history, no winning record from 1991-2004.
The Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 draft pick turned out to be the one.
"Carson does not change," coach Marvin Lewis said. "That's been the best part of Carson Palmer, from the first time I met him through all of the time spent with him prior to the draft.
"The way he handled himself through everything has been just great. That helps us with the rest of our football team, how they handle themselves."
The Bengals approached Palmer's agent, David Dunn, about an extension a few months ago. The reworked deal gives the team more salary cap room -- bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract for accounting purposes -- and a chance to keep more veterans around.
"It's a very wise move for a team to wrap up the players that they have identified as critical to the franchise's success," Dunn said. "Once you wrap them up, it's far easier to plan."
The Bengals were the only team in the NFL to return its offense intact this season. Receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh and running back Rudi Johnson got offseason extensions, and receiver Chad Johnson got a five-year extension near the end of the 2003 season.
Several offensive linemen have contracts expiring in the next two years. Palmer hopes the club uses the financial flexibility from his restructured deal to keep them around.
"That was my main concern, something that could help us out in the future," Palmer said. "Hopefully we can keep those guys around. Hopefully some of those guys up front want to stick around for a while.
"We know what we've got and we can build around this core group of guys."
Under the reworked deal, Palmer will get a $15 million bonus -- paid on Feb. 16 -- and a base salary of $6.75 million next season. The Bengals owe him a $9 million option by Jan. 1, 2007; they'll have the option of letting the rest of the deal take effect or nullifying it at that time, but have to pay the same amount either way.
His base salaries will increase during the deal, topping out at $14 million in 2014. He'll also get $1 million roster bonuses for each of his last three seasons, bringing the total amount of the reworked, nine-year deal to $118.75 million.
Players weren't available for interviews after the extension was announced. Earlier in the week, Chad Johnson supported the local chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America in honoring Palmer as the team's most valuable player.
"He makes the offense go," Johnson said. "Everything starts with him. He's deserving of it. It's early in his career and to get that award this early, to have people thinking of him as the MVP, means a lot."

If you're interested in how a real-life 24/7 BDSM Household operates, then The Upper Floor is the only place to see this on the Net. In this episode, Holly Heart has been a less-than-perfect slavegirl who was observed not demonstrating her very best during a recent live performance. So now it's time for Holly to be disciplined and receive her punishments for her transgressions.
This nearly hour-long scene begins with Cherry Torn being trained to talk dirty while sucking cock and tormenting her own nipples with butterfly clamps attached by chains which she must tug on repeatedly. She's also ordered to masturbate while taking a load of cum in her mouth.
(click the images above to see a gallery with 15 larger photos from this episode)
Holly is then made to made to watch the video of her unsatisfactory live performance while kneeling on a hard wooden table and being questioned and admonished by a dozen or so guests. She has to lick milk from a bowl while being spanked, and gets her mouth fucked by a big rubber cock.
Next she's harshly caned to tears in a standing and bent over at the waist position. Holly also receives lots of man(and woman)-handling, pinching and probing from the various guests, gets her nipples tightly clamped, her face slapped, and has to deeply swallow real cock before getting her face covered in cum which she's ordered to show to everyone.
(you can click the images above to see this full episode at The Upper Floor site)
This is definitely a hot scene, as you can tell by the fact that just about everyone in attendance is fucking someone by the time the scene comes to an end. See more details in the gallery of larger Lifestyle BDSM photos linked to the images above, and watch the video clip for a sample of what happens to Holly and Cherry in this episode.

The fourth day of competition in the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Group II event that is being held in the Maya Country Tennis Club in Santa Tecla, El Salvador has left everything to be played for on the final day.
In Group B there were no surprises as Bahamas showed their superiority over hosts El Salvador 3-0. Dominican Republic also managed to get a very important point against Trinidad and Tobago in a more contested tie 2-1. Costa Rica and Uruguay competed to improve, with promotion already out of their reach, competed to improved their final positions with the Uruguayans prevailing 2-1.
The decisive final day will see the clash between Bahamas and Dominican Republic for the top spot in Group B that will see them progress to Americas Group I in 2014.
In Group A, Guatemala and Bolivia, competed in a very close match to keep their promotional chances alive. The Bolivians ended up clinching the victory but, in the end, their second position with no more matches to play means that the top spot is out of reach for them.
Ecuador has take a big step forward towards promotion with a victory over Puerto Rico 3-0. The Ecuadorians will now clash in the decisive day against Guatemala, the two only nations of the group with promotion chances.
Everything will be decided tomorrow, only two nations will progress to Group I and the rest will need to wait to another Group II Round Robin next year.

Preserving Herbs with Salt
I'm posting this here rather than the Harvest Forum. About 25 years ago I was given a recipe at a lecture/demo about preserving herbs with salt. I made it once and then promptly forgot about it because we were trying to limit our salt intake. I remember hand chopping a variety of herbs, mixing it with salt and keeping the jar in the refrigerator.
I have scoured the internet but about the only recipe I can find is a Canadian one that includes carrots and celery.
If you have an herb mixture you preserve with salt for the winter, I hope you will share it.
I did a quick search and found the following:
Storing Fresh Herbs in Salt
Another method that can be used to store fresh herbs is to store them in salt. Choose a shallow container and place a layer of kosher salt on the bottom then add a single layer of the herb that is being preserved. Continue alternating layers of salt and herb until all the herb has been used up. Make sure the final layer is salt then place the lid on the container and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to use take whatever quantity of herb that is needed out of the salt. The longer the herbs remain in the salt, the more dried out they will become but the flavor should not be affected. Herbs can successfully be stored in salt for up to 2 months
Southern Nevada
Google got me a number of hits you can check out. Be sure to share your results with us!
Here is a link that might be useful: Google - Salt preserving herbs
Greg, thanks for the instructions. Fatamorgana, it's funny, your wording for google turned up some websites I hadn't found. I've assembled a file of ideas. It seems Canadians have a very popular mix, there's a Brazilian mix and I also found a Mediterranean mix. I don't remember a brine but I may have forgotten that. I think a seasoning mixture for stews and pot roast would be very handy so I'll work on figuring out a mix. Somewhere I have a "secret pot roast seasoning mix" made from dry herbs so I might use that as a guide for choosing fresh.
Today I am making a summer squash gratin with yukon gold potatoes, cheese and fresh oregano/parsley/olive oil paste. I did not make this in the winter but duh, the oregano/parsley/oil paste could be frozen for winter meals.

I'm in W-S, and the table talk is that the past earnings report achieved the results the Board wanted; falling share price, in a weakened market, thus allowing the 50 mil. buy back to garner more shares. The 2014 announcement of initiation of dividend will boost price along w/ house shares payback. Make sense to you now?
thanks for the buying opportunity yesterday ....
yes, they areselling tons of dough!!

Liberty University appoints program coordinatorOctober 05, 2010 | University Advancement Staff
The Liberty University School of Education has hired full-time associate professor Dr. Rita Schellenberg to coordinate and further develop the Master of Education (M.E.d) with a specialization in School Counseling. Associate Dean of the School of Education Dr. Beth Ackerman said Schellenberg's professional experience will help establish a "rigorous yet flexible" school counseling curriculum.
"As our program continues to grow, Dr. Schellenberg's expertise will provide much-needed visibility in Virginia through Department of Education committees, state and national associations, as well as the school systems where our counselor candidates are placed," Ackerman said.
Schellenberg has been a school counselor at both the elementary and secondary levels for public school systems in Virginia. She has also served as a professor in the Ph.D. program in Counselor Education and Supervision at Regent University, and in the counseling program at Old Dominion University. Schellenberg is the author of "The New School Counselor: Strategies for Universal Academic Achievement," and has had multiple articles published in "Virginia Counselors Journal" and "Professional School Counseling." In 2010, Schellenberg was named one of the top 15 school counselors in the nation by the American School Counselor Association.
The M.E.d in School Counseling is approved through the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and is a state-approved program for advanced licensure (reciprocity with other states) or endorsements.
Established in 1971, Liberty University pioneered distance education in 1985, and it is now the largest and fastest growing Christian university in the world. Today, Liberty University Online hosts more than 50,000 students and has one of the highest retention and graduation rates among top online universities. Liberty offers more than 45 accredited degree programs — from the associate to the doctoral level — and 100 areas of specialization, all taught from a Christian perspective.

Gallery: Scanadu creates world's first Star Trek-style medical tricorde...
Scanadu, a startup based at the NASA Ames Research Center, has made the science-fiction of Star Trek a reality by creating a non-invasive tricorder that, within 10 seconds, can gather medical information about a person and then relay it to their smartphone. The device, known as the Scanadu Scout, has been in development for over two years and can measure blood pressure, temperature, ECG, oximetry, heart rate and breathing rate.
The brainchild of renowned designer Yves Béhar, the Scanadu Scout could transform how medical diagnoses are performed. The device has a 99% success rate, and it could potentially decrease hospital readmissions and the costs of managing chronic conditions for patients and insurance companies alike.
The Scanadu Scout works by simply being placed upon the forehead – within seconds, a patient's stats are displayed on a smartphone. This allows patients and practitioners to analyze, track, and trend vitals with unprecedented simplicity. It's currently only a prototype pending FDA approval, but Scanadu is planning to use donations to collect data and speed up its application for market approval as an over-the-counter consumer-grade diagnostic tool.

It's a great device … probably. But it's funny how people will pay money for a prototype (and raise over 1.3 million USD) but … they will not raise money ($60000) for social disadvantaged children to build them a future http://igg.me/at/A-Kid-Smile/x/3857689

Two distinct types of organizations emerge from Symantec Corp's. recent 2013 State of Mobility Survey - "Innovators" who readily embrace mobility and "Traditionals" who are reluctant to implement it. Eighty four percent of innovators are moving ahead with mobility, motivated by business drivers, and they are experiencing significant benefits. Traditional organizations are implementing mobility more slowly, largely in response to user demand, and are seeing both fewer costs and benefits.
"Few issues command the attention of IT today like mobility," said Francis deSouza, president, Products and Services, Symantec. "The difference in attitudes and results between the organizations that actively embrace mobility and those that are reluctant is significant. Organizations taking a proactive approach benefit much more than those that put it off until they eventually find themselves trying to catch up to the competition."
The two groups perceive the benefits and risks of mobility differently. Among innovators, 66 percent say the benefits are worth the risks, while 74 percent of traditional businesses feel the risks are not worth it. This is reflected in the rate of mobility adoption, with 50 percent more employees using smartphones for business among innovators than among traditional organizations. More than half of innovators (55 percent) are also taking control of purchasing phones for employees, compared to 44 percent of traditionals.
When it comes to the innovators, company involvement doesn't stop with purchasing the phones. They also more often have mobility policies, and they are twice as likely to use technology to enforce their policies (60 percent in the innovators as opposed to 33 percent among traditionals).
Costs and Benefits
With the innovators taking more advantage of mobility, they are also seeing more costs associated with it. In fact, they averaged twice as many mobile incidents during the last year, such as lost devices and data breaches, leading to consequences such as regulatory fines and lost revenue. The innovators are also experiencing far more benefits, in three key areas:
- Increased productivity, speed and agility
- Improvements in brand value, customer happiness and overall competitiveness
- Happier employees and improved recruiting and retention rates
Most importantly, however, the innovators are experiencing nearly 50 percent higher revenue growth than traditionals (44 percent vs. 30 percent). All things considered, businesses perceive net positive results with mobility.
Effective Mobile Implementation
The survey results illustrate the positive impact mobility can have on the business, with the right preparation. The following guidelines can help organizations make the most of their mobile deployment while reducing risks:
- Being cautious about mobility is okay. Being resistant is not. Start embracing it. Organizations should take a proactive approach and carefully plan an effective mobile implementation strategy.
- Start with the apps with greatest productivity benefits for employees. One of the best ways to get started with mobility is to implement mobile apps that will have an immediate impact on the business.
- Learn from the innovators - get the benefits while minimizing the risks. The key is to be aware of the risks associated with mobility such as information loss, and to follow the example of the innovators.
Symantec's 2013 State of Mobility Survey
Symantec's 2013 State of Mobility Survey represents the experiences of 3,236 businesses, from 29 countries. Respondents were the individuals in charge of computing - either senior staff in the case of enterprises, or often an employee with technical aptitude among SMBs. Responses came from companies with a range of five to more than 5,000 employees.
Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Area teams look strong going into Division 2 tournament
CBHS, Briarcrest and MUS all peaking at the right time
The Division 2-AA boys championship will look an awful lot like an ordinary Friday night in the West Region.
Three of the four teams in the semifinals — CBHS, Briarcrest and MUS — hail from Memphis and will compete for the title along with three-time defending champion Nashville Ensworth,
"Well, it's not that surprising," said MUS coach Matt Bakke. "Memphis has great basketball; this is Hoop City. CBHS and Briarcrest are very strong teams and us too."
The Owls — who are in the semifinals for the first time since winning it all in 2007 — are perhaps the surprise team in the field.
MUS, which will open against Briarcrest at 2:45 p.m. on Friday at Lipscomb University, enters the tournaments with a 16-13 record. As Bakke points out though, that's deceiving.
"We've played White Station, (Chicago) Simeon, Houston, Bolton and some good private schools," he said. "I think we've learned a lot throughout the season. We've been a good defensive team all year and we're coming together on offense."
Briarcrest, which in 2008 became the last Memphis team to win the D2-AA boys title, has also progressed well. The Saints graduated two-time Mr. Basketball winner Austin Nichols from last year's squad that finished runner-up to Ensworth but their talented sophomore class, led by point guard Mark French and 6-6 leaper Micah Thomas, has grown up in a hurry.
CBHS, which will open against Ensworth at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, started the year 7-7. But that was without star guard Josh Bougher, who was still recovering from a torn ACL. Since the Tennessee Tech signee returned, the Brothers are 10-4.
ECS has also been without the services of its star as back problems have kept nationally ranked 6-11 junior Skal Labissiere on the sidelines for all but two games. But the Eagles have thrived in recent weeks, playing superb defense — they allowed just 15 points, total, in their sectional victory over Donelson Christian — and executing coach Terry Tippett's slowdown gameplan to perfection.
On the girls side, Briarcrest (28-0) will be the favorites in D2-AA but will have to guard against a repeat of last year, in which they missed all 16 of their first-half shots in their semifinal game en route to a lopsided loss to Brentwood Academy.
The teams meet again Friday at 1:15 p.m.
"That first game is the barrier for us," said Saints star guard Jasmine Cincore after last week's substate win over Father Ryan. "If we can get past that, there's no stopping us."
In D2-A girls, Northpoint will represent the area for the second year in a row. Coach Barry Gray's Trojans navigated through a difficult region with style and will take a 14-game winning streak into Thursday's 1:15 p.m. opener against University School of Nashville.

Hov keep gettin' that dinero, got it
from Jay Z (Ft. Rick Ross) – FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt Lyrics on Genius
A continuation from the previous mention of the film Goodfellas — couple of things going on here:
Reference to Robert De Niro who starred in Goodfellas
"Dinero" means "money" in Spanish and the way Jay pronounces "gotta Robert" makes it sound like "gotta rob it"
The line is especially fitting when you take into account the plot of the movie Goodfellas: watching the rise and fall of a crime family.
Fun Fact: Hov is neighbors with DeNiro in the Tribeca neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, NYC, and they had a recent falling out, so this could be subliminal shots directed at Rob also.

Great pub fare, and incredible fresh sea food. Awesome atmosphere - great family fun. A must see on Ocracoke Island. Be sure to try the Buffalo shrimp and the blackened tuna Caesar salad.
We enjoyed our food here at this local restaurant and bar hangout. Service was good and they served typical fare but what we had was good. Big place alot of people there when we visited.
It has been a few years since we have visited our favorite place on earth, but this is definitely a must visit when on Ocracoke Island. The beer selection alone is well worth stopping in, just to SEE the list. And the food is good too!
Howard's is a landmark to be seen! The selections of beers on tap are what Heaven must be like! The food is good, not too greasy which I like. I have always had great service when in town and really love the whole vibe of Howard's!
We liked it so much, we ate there twice during our 36 hour stay on Ocracoke! Great service, great food. Highly recommend.
A visit to Ocracoke is not complete without a visit to Howard's! Just a great all around burger and beer place with good food and very interesting people! Stop in and enjoy the locals and tourists.
Food continues to be average, used to be the go to place, now its a commercial establishment that doesnt excel at anything but atmosphere and souvenirs. OK sandies, reasonabel fish, good for kids, you can do better, much better.
Had the best evening eating Raw Bar, had three plates of it, the environment was great and the staff was friendly. An amazing place to be at, this was my third time this year. Every time it gets to feel more like a home. Great prices and Great Food. A MUST DO WHILE ON
Just dropped in for dinner on the way down the outer banks. Good range of beer and wine, nice staff. Food fairly standard fare but well prepared and resaonably priced.
This was my second trip to Ocracoke and my second visit to Howard's. The atmosphere is great and so is the food. You can't go wrong here, but I suggest getting there during the "season" to get a larger selection.
