TEDxSDSU - What Have You Discovered? [And what have you done about it?]
Last week I had the pleasure of attending TEDxSDSU and giving a "TED Talk". I can't wait until 2.0 with my fellow TEDites. TEDians. TEDsters. People who like TED.
Fifteen speakers and performers told their unique stories, in their own unique ways, about the event's theme: "What Have You Discovered?". Ideas were bouncing off the walls like the Starbucks tasting staff, but without their bad breath. Afterward, I realized that in addition to the "official" theme, there were several other common threads that wound through each "TED Talk" and song.
Several speakers mentioned how young children interact with the world. As children, we don't pay much attention to the "voices" that we listen to later in life - the voices of peers, or probabilities, or pessimism. A passel of possibilities still hold promise. (Nice alliteration, huh?)
We are usually attracted to people who agree with us and have the same interests, but other perspectives stretch us, confirm us, and, sometimes, change us.
For many, including me, it was a huge lift to hear how others have gone through a "dark night of the soul" and not only survived, but thrived, when morning came.
The TEDxSDSU team asked us to answer the question, "What Have You Discovered?". We were a cooperative group, so that theme informed every talk and song. It was fascinating to hear the stories of discovery, and to encounter the other common themes that appeared, perhaps by coincidence, perhaps by grand design, but definitely by common experience.
For my talk, I took up the TED mantra, Ideas Worth Spreading, and suggested that yes, ideas are worth spreading, but great ideas are worth doing.
What's yours idea? And what are you doing about it? What step are you taking - today?

While 87 percent of CEOs felt they were prepared for the demands of the position, 54 percent of respondents reported that the requirements of being a CEO were different then they expected. Those numbers only increased when looking at first-time c-suite executives. According to the research, 91 percent of first-time CEOs felt they were prepared for the position, but 72 percent reported the actual expectations of the job being different than they had anticipated.
Another challenge for many CEOs comes from the isolation that the position brings. According to the survey, 50 percent of CEOs felt secluded in the position and of this group, 61 percent felt that this seclusion was a hindrance to their performance. Not surprisingly, first-time CEOs were more negatively affected by this loneliness, with 70 percent reporting that it hurt them in their ability to do their job.
"This is not uncommon," said Thomas Saporito, chairman and CEO at RHR International. "Stress, pressure and loneliness all combine to create a job unlike any other they have previously had."
The survey also challenged the popular notion regarding toxic relationships between CEOs and the board of directors. According to the research, 98 percent of CEOs stated they had a good relationship with their boards of directors. Additionally, 95 percent of respondents believed that their board supported many of the decisions they made, while 59 percent cited the board of directors as the most trusted source for feedback.
"While some CEOs have poor relationships with their boards, it's clear the majority don't fall into this category," Saporito said. "The ones who do are simply the ones that make for good press."
The information in this report is the result of the survey conducted by RHR International, a group of management psychologists and consultants who work with management in order to improve performance within organizations. The executives in the survey presided over companies with annual revenues ranging from $50 million to $2 billion.

To the Editor: In reporting that adequate ECT seizures were not obtained at the maximum electrical stimulus dose in 5% of ECT patients, Andrew D. Krystal, M.D., M.S., et al. (1) did not recognize that this result is limited to the MECTA Corporation ECT device they used. Instead, they suggested that their results apply to all devices: "Approximately one of six patients…required the maximum possible ECT stimulus intensity available on U.S. ECT devices" (p. 965). The result is limited to MECTA devices because the pulse width and frequency of the maximum stimulus they use are specific to MECTA devices, and their values are crucial to the reported study. These values are for a 2.0-msec pulse width and a 90-Hz frequency with a 2.0-sec duration and 0.8 A current. Compared to these values, the combination of a narrower pulse width, lower frequency, and longer duration should produce lower rates of failure for seizure induction (2, 3). The point that a 5% failure rate is needlessly high is indisputable. However, the failure rate should be substantially lower with more efficient electrical stimuli as well as with higher doses.
Dr. Krystal et al. repeatedly noted a "maximum stimulus intensity limitation of 576 millicoulombs (mC) imposed on U.S. ECT devices by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)" (p. 963). The actual limitation is 100 J of energy at 220 Ω of impedance. For 0.8 A current, as used in MECTA devices, this limitation corresponds to 572 mC. The original source for a figure of 576 mC is MECTA's commercial literature. I also wish to point out that nowhere in their published article do Dr. Krystal et al. note their relationship with MECTA Corporation.
The author is a member/manager of Somatics LLC, a maker of ECT instruments.

Zarry things. I feel like out of everyone in the band, they're the lady killers - the ones who can totally charm their way into any girls' bed. Yes, Niall, Liam, and Louis are too, but Zarry together? Man, that sounds so mischievous. I just love their relationship with one another, they're both extra silly and crazy when they're together.
Harry on the big red bus. One of my favorite music videos from our boys. For the same reasons as them - they were totally in their comfort zones while filming the video. And Harry's opening shots were fucking perfect.
Not only is this one of my favorite GIFS of Harry's beautiful smile, but it's also one of my favorite 1D gifs ever. They just all look so perfect, especially Larry <3 They look like some goddamn models -_-
That damn Ramones shirt and those damn biceps.
I love how confident he is around the ladies - but not to the point where it's totally cocky. He's so playful and silly that it just makes you laugh. And that ladies, is called charm.
I'm gonna call it reasons I love Harry Styles or something cheesy like that. I'm basically going to go through all of my posts since my discovery of One Direction and post pictures, gifs, songs, etc. about why I claim Styles as my future husband. And I am SUPER EXCITED!

Music Party
Preteens are always ready to get together for music, pizza, and fun. That's why this party is perfect for older kids. Everyone brings a few of their favorite CDs to play, then all you need to do is order the food and let the birthday kid and her guests take it from there.
CD Cards Trace a CD onto a piece of silver poster board. Cut out the tracing and use colored markers to print "It's a Music Party!" on the front and all the party info on the back.
Name That Tune Choose one kid to be the disc jockey and divide everyone else into two teams. Place a bell in front of each team. The disc jockey plays a few bars of a familiar song on a CD and then stops it. The team that knows the name of the tune rings the bell and says the answer. If it is correct, that team gets a point. The first team to score 10 points wins.
They're Playing Our Song! Invite the kids to take turns lip-synching the words to their favorite songs. Then have the group vote on who's the most convincing musical artist!
Song Charades One at a time, each music fan uses actions (no words) to depict a popular song title. Whoever guesses correctly first gets to act out the next title.
Dance Craze To get the party in full swing, ask everyone to write a word, such as river, scorpion, or sunflower, on a slip of paper. Collect all of the slips in a big bowl. Now let the kids take turns picking slips and making up dances to match the words they chose.
Stock a cooler with assorted sodas so the guests can help themselves and set out bowls of peanuts and pretzels to munch on before the pizza arrives. For favors, pick up harmonicas, kazoos, or other fun musical instruments from a dollar store. And this boom-box cake is sure to send your party to the top of the charts!
•Turn a room in your home into a disco. Decorate it with colorful balloons and streamers and big musical notes cut out from black construction paper and taped to the wall. For a really special effect, hang up a Disco Ball Pinata.
• Before the guests arrive, come up with some discreet signal you can use to let your child know when it's time to turn down the volume.

Suspicious incident caused 5,700 Salmon to die at the Platte River State Fish Hatchery.
The DNR staff at the hatchery in Beulah found 5,700 coho salmon dead in one of the maturation ponds last week.
During an investigation, they say it was a "vandalism act," because it appears the fish were forcibly pushed together in a small area which blocked the water flow and created lethal conditions.
"This is the first time in 45 years where we have had this type of incident at this facility," said Gary Whelan, DNR fish production manager. "It could have put our entire coho salmon program in serious jeopardy. The loss of this program would cost the state economy millions of dollars in revenue. We were exceptionally fortunate to have an above average coho salmon spawning run this year and will still have enough adults to fully meet our coho salmon egg take needs."
The fishery has put in place additional security systems and if you have any information regarding this vandalism act please call any conservation officer or the RAP hotline at 1-800-292-7800.

Your yoga clothes should move with you. Look for yoga pants designed with four-way stretch fabrication for the freedom of movement you need on the mat. Strategic mesh paneling keeps you feeling fresh and airy as you go into your locust pose. For a second-skin fit that never feels too tight, look for yoga pants designed with a gusseted construction for a flattering fit.

Expert Advice
It's the details that count in women's yoga pants. A zippered pocket at the waist lets you quickly stash away small essentials and get back to your workout. A fitted opening at the calf or ankle ensures your pants maintain their slim fit and feel without sagging. For a custom-like fit, choose pants with a drawcord at the waist.

Political and Public Acceptability of Congestion Pricing: Ideology and Self Interest
AbstractStudies of the "stated preferences†of households generally report public and political opposition by urban commuters to congestion pricing. It is thought that this opposition inhibits or precludes tolls and pricing systems that would enhance efficiency in the use of scarce roadways. This paper analyzes the only case in which road pricing was decided by a citizen referendum on the basis of experience with a specific pricing system. The city of Stockholm introduced a toll system for 7 months in 2006, after which citizens voted on its permanent adoption. We match precinct voting records to resident commute times and costs by traffic zone, and we analyze patterns of voting in response to economic and political incentives. We document political and ideological incentives for citizen choice, but we also find that the pattern of time savings and incremental costs exerts a powerful influence on voting behavior. In this instance, at least, citizen voters behave as if they value commute time highly. When they have experienced first-hand the out-of-pocket costs and time-savings of a specific pricing scheme, they are prepared to adopt freely policies that reduce congestion on urban motorways.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—November 7, 2013 | Commenting on today's 64-32 vote in the U.S. Senate passing the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), founder and chief executive officer, Selisse Berry said:
"Today, we celebrate decades of work that have resulted in the historic Senate vote. We applaud the courage and leadership of Senators on both sides of the aisle who have stood up for equality, for jobs and for business. They stand with 82%* of the American public who believe that employees should be judged on their work and not their sexual orientation or gender identity. For over 16 years, we have been working with Fortune 500 employers, creating safe and inclusive work environments. They know that to be a successful 21st Century company they must attract the best talent, creating a diverse workforce that drives innovation and creativity. I urge Speaker Boehner to listen to the voice of the business community and schedule a vote in the House."

Brown Sees Huskers through Historic Lens
Bob Brown was Nebraska's first African-American to be named All-American.
By Randy York
If you're a Nebraska football fan who purchased one of the 430 tickets to attend Saturday night's Husker Huddle prior to NU's nationally televised game at Fresno State, you will be rewarded for your loyalty and entertained in a uniquely historical way. The event's featured speaker is none other than Bob (Boomer) Brown, a member of both the College Football and Pro Football Halls of Fame. Talk about bringing history to a two-hour pregame huddle that will include a buffet and the ever-popular dueling piano performers. A unanimous first-team 1963 All-American, Brown was a true trailblazer. He not only played when the Huskers' 335 consecutive home game sellout streak started in 1962, he helped lead Nebraska's revival the day Bob Devaney arrived in Lincoln.
Bob Brown is a member of the College Football and Pro Football Halls of Fame.
Brown: Nebraska Treated Others like Nebraskans
I have no idea what Bob Brown will share in his pregame talk, but I know how much value he provided five years ago while sharing his memories of being a student-athlete at Nebraska in the early 1960s. "More than 50 years ago, we didn't just turn out muscle heads. Nebraska turned out fine young men who challenged themselves intellectually as well as athletically," Brown told me. As the No. 2 overall pick in the first round of the 1964 NFL draft, Brown played 10 seasons and was named first-team All-NFL seven times. A native of Cleveland, he's equally proud of becoming the first African-American to earn All-America football honors as a Husker.
"We had great experiences at Nebraska," Brown said. "There weren't many black guys going to Nebraska in those days, but all the people in Nebraska treated us like we were Nebraskans – the same way they treat all the other out-of-state players who decide to come to Lincoln." When Devaney left Wyoming for Nebraska, "he turned the whole program and the whole state around with a new way of thinking," Brown told me. "Of course, I knew Coach (Tom) Osborne before he ever became a great coach. He may have been the youngest coach on that staff, but he was the common thread that ran through it. Those coaches were open and nice and always left you with a warm feeling."
After Growing Up on Big Ten Soil, He Chose NU
Perhaps Brown will share with Husker fans his own unique twist of playing in the Big Eight Conference, even though he was recruited from Ohio, home of some of the Big Ten's most fertile recruiting soil. Interestingly, Brown will never forget the second game he played under Devaney, a 25-13 win at Michigan, Devaney's home state. "We didn't take a very big travel squad, and Michigan must have dressed 150 people that day," Brown recalled. "We were doing our jumping jacks when they came out of their tunnel in Ann Arbor, and the crowd roared. It sounded like thunder, but we were the ones who had the real Thunder that day," Brown said, referring to Bill "Thunder" Thornton, Nebraska's first modern-day black football captain.
The historic footnote is obvious. "It's a fact, and it's still a belief that we all share – winning at Michigan on that late September Saturday in 1962 marked the start of Bob Devaney and the beginning of Nebraska football really taking off," Brown said. For me, that observation begs for another historic footnote. Before 1962, Nebraska had experienced seven consecutive non-winning seasons, so Brown indeed was a catalyst for Nebraska's renaissance. Somehow, in my opinion, Husker fans should always remember what life was like before Bob Devaney arrived.

Thanks for a great article on Bob Brown. I was just 22 in 1962 and remember Bob Brown very much. Seems like he was a 300-pounder. I was always proud that he played at Nebraska and followed him in the pros. Enjoy reading positive sports news.Gary Lukert, Seward, Nebraska
Loved your story about Bob Brown. He has always been one of my football idols even though all I knew about him was as a legendary player for Nebraska and Philadelphia. Seems like a quality man and looks young and healthy in the picture! If you ever speak with Bob again, please tell him that a Nebraska football brother is a big fan of his.

Printed Jacquard Classic Cropped Jacket 3 3
Great Jacket The fit is perfect and true to size and fits comfortably over a light weight sweater or tee. The lining is aqua blue and of nice quality. I plan on using it with dress pants and a velvet skirt for the holidays. It also would be stunning with corduroy or chino slacks. December 11, 2010
Very Nice Jacket This fabric is a very nice looking. I like being able to cuff the sleeves. I order x-large to accommodate wearing a light long sleeve tee. I am glad I did, because the large may have been too tight. July 8, 2011
The colors of the jacket is much duller than shown on the picture. Also, it's very boxy - unattractive. August 13, 2011

PORT ST. LUCIE - At a recent meeting of the Florida League of Cities, Port St. Lucie Mayor JoAnn Faiella heard about an initiative for the 10 largest cities in the state to become Purple Heart cities.
At that moment, she knew it was something she wanted to support.
"This is their honor, and they deserve it," she said.
At the Oct. 22 city council meeting city's staff hard work resulted in almost four dozen veterans being recognized for their service to the country.
The city will now officially recognize U.S. military veterans who were awarded the Purple Heart medallion after being injured during combat. The city will keep a list of residents who have earned the award, and will officially recognize them during "Purple Heart Day" on Aug. 7 every year.
The Purple Heart is also known as the badge of military merit, and was established by Gen. George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
"It took a lot of work to put this together," Mayor Faiella said. "This is just a small thank you."
At the city meeting, as their names were called, each Purple Heart recipient who lives in Port St. Lucie stood and was recognized. Some recipients have died, and their family members were recognized. Later, a small group stood with the mayor for a commemorative photo.
The Purple Heart recipients recognized were:
Thomas Accardi, Adam Bailey, Paul Beagle, Biasetti Ernest, Alfred Birch (deceased), Budy Robert, Bernard Bright, David Brown, Buck Walter, Joseph Carlisi, Craig Thomas, Joseph Wilcox, Gerald Lind, Michael Verdi, Eugene Martino, Edwin Williams, Rick Chess, Raymond Carter, Geoffrey Davis, Willard Coleman, John Colucco (deceased), John Cruz, Stephen Deporter (deceased), Edwin Diaz, Jerry Dale Dillard, Ramond Doktorki, Joseph Germani, Harry Harrison, David Hassler, Jerome Hatch, Edward Hughes, Peter King, Albert Landry, Richard Lavigne, Jose Mateo, Neil Nappi, Harold Newman, Israel Schulman, Harold Stambaugh, Angelo Troccoli, Joseph Wilcox, Harry Williams (deceased), Daniel Witts, Jeffrey Zwemke, Benny William, John Jurceka, Michael Kiper, Richard Eckart, Gregg Mann and Charles Yates.
But the city's efforts won't stop there.
"If we missed anyone, please come forward and give us your name," said Mayor Faiella. "We want to put you on our list so we can recognize you in the future. We will never forget."
For more information, call the city at (772) 871-5159.

Video Reviews
2008 Nissan Xterra
The Nissan Xterra is a rugged body-on-frame SUV that is very versatile and off-road capable.
User Reviews
The community thinks...
4-wheeler by M & M on 07/19/2008. Trim: 2008 Nissan Xterra OR 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Looks great; awesome powertrain; great for offroading; surprisingly comfortable ride- even with the off-road package; tech. package nice option-stereo rocks; so far has been reliable.
Cons: Compared to fully loaded 04 Murano that was returned off lease the interior is plain. No power seats, power pedals, auto up/down windows, moonroof (tough to do w/roof rack), leather seats, homelink, locking gas cap (was able to find an aftermarket locking gas cap at the auto parts store), trip computer and outside temp. gauge. Also the center arm rest is too low and short-basically useless. Even so the ride is better than the Murano; and it can go off-road.
Overall review: Looked at the FJ Cruiser and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and thought the Xterra was a more versatile and better vehicle. The Jeep's motor is too weak and, and according to "consumer reports mag" not very reliable. The FJ has funky styling and the back doors are tiny; also the beltline is too high-feels like you are sitting in a bathtub.

The Seventeen Daily Beauty Tip!
It's a beauty bonanza! Get your daily dose on all things glam from the experts behind the coolest looks seen on the top celebs, the pages of Seventeen, and more!
By Elizabeth Denton
Kiernan Shipka's Pretty Pink Lip
Who: Kiernan Shipka
The Expert: Celebrity Makeup Artist Robert Sesnek (Instagram: @robertsesnek)
The Look: Glowing skin and pink lips
The Tip:
1. Create a flawless canvas with a weightless foundation, like Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. Use a concealer under your eyes to hide any dark shadows. (Robert used Clé de Peau Beauté in Ivory on Kiernan.) Finish with a light dusting of powder on your T-zone to nix shine.
2. Apply a highlighting blush to the apples of your cheeks (Robert used Armani Fluid Sheer #6 on Kiernan).
3. To make your eyes look wide awake, swipe a pale purple shadow across your lids (like lightest purple shade from Tom Ford Eyeshadow Quad Lavender Lust palette). Curl your lashes and apply black mascara.
4. To create Kiernan's stained lip look, apply berry-pink lipstick, then blot it with a tissue. (Robert used Tom Ford Lip Color in Indian Rose on Kiernan.)

Show Off Your Hot Legs—Safely!
Written on May 27, 2011 at 11:24 am , by Lisa Haney
We're all breaking out our cute sundresses and shorts here in the FITNESS offices now that we're finally getting a little warmth and sun in NYC. And I've been thinking of all those beautiful bare legs after I learned from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SunWise program that it's the body area where 20 to 25 percent of all melanomas occur in women.
While I'm religious about using daily SPF on my face, I usually don't think about protecting my exposed limbs unless I'm off to the beach or spending most of the day outside. So in honor of SunWise's Don't Fry Day (cute!) today, I'm vowing to start using a daily SPF body lotion to protect my whole body.
The organization's catchy "Slip, Slop, Slap & Wrap" sun-savvy motto is now stuck in my head:
- Slip on a shirt.
- Slop on SPF 15+ sunscreen.
- Slap on a wide-brimmed hat
- Wrap on sunglasses
More from FITNESS: You can take a two-pronged approach and tackle cancer prevention from the inside out too. Check out what to eat to beat skin cancer.

The Word: Simon Cowell to launch 'Afghanistan's Got Talent'
Infrastructure. Stability. Honest politicians. These are all things Afghanistan hasn't got. But there's good news: One thing it has got, according to Simon Cowell, is talent.
Fremantle Media and Simon Cowell's production company SyCo Entertainment will launch "Afghanistan's Got Talent" this fall. It will be the 55th local edition of the "[Nation]'s Got Talent" franchise, which they claim is a record for a reality show, according to Deadline.
The show will feature a panel of Afghan celebrity judges, but foreign troops may be eligible to audition. It seems possible that the U.S. military might have some objections to that, right? Also, who's the Simon Cowell of Afghanistan? And more importantly, who's the Paula Abdul of Afghanistan?

"A rock solid slow burn creep out." – Ain't It Cool News
"Citadel is plenty scary … an inventive combination of tense realism and over-the-top horror." – Noel Murray, Onion AV Club
"An incredibly well-shot, terrifying and freakish horror drama that's loaded with violence, scares and intensity that only David Cronenberg's The Brood could deliver." – Bloody Disgusting
Tommy Cowley lives a quiet life in a decaying apartment complex in Edentown, a crumbling Irish housing estate, with his highly pregnant wife. One day, the couple is attacked on their doorstep by a group of strange hooded youngsters, and after this shocking act of violence, Tommy is left to raise his newborn daughter alone. So traumatized by the events that he's developed extreme agoraphobia, Tommy spends his days hiding from imagined threats in his new flat, trying his best to raise his infant daughter while working through intense therapy sessions aimed at bringing him back to normalcy. When the vicious hoodies, seemingly intent on kidnapping his daughter, begin terrorizing his life again, Tommy is torn between his paralyzing fear and his protective parental instinct. With the help of a renegade vigilante priest who has uncovered the bizarre origins of this ruthless, potentially supernatural gang of mysterious children , Tommy must overcome his fears and venture into the heart of the abandoned tower block known as The Citadel to save his family and end the nightmare. Primal fears and urban paranoia collide with over-the-top horror in this award-winning debut feature from Irish director Ciarán Foy, a film guaranteed to make you think twice before entering a dark house.

Trends: Have You Tried Olive Oil Mayonnaise?
We have given you mayonnaise recipes with olive oil in the past — this sort of mayonnaise is delicious, and healthier too. We have been noticing that food manufacturers are getting in on this kind of mayo; witness the Kraft mayo above. They're not alone, though. Have you been noticing this trend in mayonnaise?
Hellmann's is making an extra virgin olive oil mayonnaise ("Hellmann's gone Mediterannean!") and Spectrum makes an organic mayonnaise with olive oil too. And then at Target today we just saw this Kraft mayo with olive oil.
Do you ever make mayonnaise with olive oil? How about these storebought versions? Have you tried any of them?

I will definitely try the Hellman's version. I could never stand "Miracle Whip" so I'd be afraid to try Kraft's new attempt at mayo.
Kraft Mayo and Miracle Whip have absolutely nothing to do with each other. I hate it when I ask for mayo and get Miracle Whip instead. If I wanted a sugar sandwich, I would've asked for one, thanks!
I imagine the olive oil version of Kraft mayo and Hellman's will taste fine, if you like the originals of either brand. The olive oil they use must be really mild, because I don't notice a difference big in taste.
i am a HUGE fan of mayo. i even converted my texan husband who is a mustard on EVERYTHING kind of guy to eating hamburgers with mayo.
i tried the olive oil mayo a few years back when it first started coming out. i didnt like it at all. it had a very sour taste to it. so i threw it away and never looked back.
recently a friend of ours bought some by mistake and knew we were mayo freaks and gave it to us...so not to hurt their feelings we took it.
well one day i was making some macaroni salad and i didnt have enough regular mayo....so i gave in and used it. the end result was amazing. im not sure if it was because of the mixture of the two or what, but it was good. i still have it in there a little scared to try it on just a sandwich.
I wouldn't eat either of these. Both still have soybean oil. For Hellmann's, the soybean oil is listed before olive oil. The Kraft version is "reduced fat". Gross all around.
this is probably a dumb question (be gentle!) but is it significantly better for you than regular mayonaise? more monounsaturated fats? less calories? less saturated fat? i love mayonaise so if this is healthier then that would be great!
Very yummy. A friend of mine brought me a sandwich with turkey and yellow American cheese... soooo delicious. I couldn't believe how better it tasted than regular mayo.
The problem is in the ingredients, regular mayo has about 5 ingredients: basically, eggs, salt, vinegar i think. When you look at anything else it has about 30 ingredients and its all crap! If you like mayo use it sparingly!
I love mayo...and the olive oil stuff isn't too bad. What's awesome, though, is lime mayo. I think you can find it in hispanic food stores...when I was in Peru that's all they used (I think it was Hellman's brand) and it was SOOOO good. made the best egg salad sandwiches.
I used a whole container of olive oil mayonnaise on my favorite sandwich all last winter. I'm not sure there's much taste difference.
Maybe if you were just eating it plain, Belgian-style, on an avocado or something you'd notice the difference in flavor?
I think the reduced fat olive oil version tastes better than the regular reduced fat version. However, I think regular mayo is still superior.
Nikki, thanks for the lime mayo tip! I saw it in the store yesterday but wasn't sure if it would be awesome or not. (And it was a little pricey for a small bottle.)
We have a bottle of the above Kraft Olive Oil mayo in our fridge for when we're out of homemade and we won't use another kind of store bought mayo again - actually quite tasty!
Mayo, one of my favorite food groups! I have been debating trying an olive oil mayo - I am strictly a Hellman's girl. Now I'll have to put it on my next shopping list and try it once and for all.
I haven't tasted commercially made mayo in ages. Making your own mayo couldn't be easier. If you can get backyard eggs, give it a try. All you need is oil, mustard powder, fresh lemon juice, freshly ground pepper, sea salt and a good blender or food processor.
I make mine with olive oil and flavor it with garlic.
Hi, I am from Portugal and when I was in NY in 2005 I tasted olive butter, it was delicious. I don't remember the brand, I suppose there are a few of them and I know that if I could see a picture of it I would remember it. Does anyone know some brands of olive butter that I could have a look for it online? Thanks and it's a pleasure to be able to read such a great website.
VanBC has it right-- once you make your own mayo, you'll be hooked, and store-bought versions will never satisfy. Julia Child's oft-quoted recipe is still my guide:
I have found that regular mayo thinned with some lemon or lime and some top quality oil to be better in taste and texture to the subject product.
I'm with syrupandhoney....you could just buy normal mayo and drizzle some olive oil on it and it would prob be even better. The fact is, it's just a marketing thing...it's the same crap with just a hint of olive oil.
It's soooooo easy to make your own and you get to control the ingredients. REAL organic extra virgin olive oil makes a wonderfully rich and warm mayo. As long as you use all quality organic ingredients (esp. the egg) this is actually a healthy treat, since it's raw and all the enzymes and nutrients are intact!
Soybean oil is a huge problem in this country and people need to get privy to it's dangers. Google soybean and monstanto.
Mom always gave us homemade mayonaise, and she used olive oil or sunflower seed oil, the two were so tasty and delicious, each on its own. And the same for the all i oli (the real way to do it, of course, as we do in Spain).
Just give it a chance...
Just a note: my mom and grandmother both object to the store-bought olive oil mayo because it doesn't hold up very well as a salad dressing; it tends to look and taste more oily if it gets a little warm, and doesn't have the same sort of "stickiness" to hold the salad ingredients together.
On the other hand, I think it tastes fantastic on sandwiches.
Really good olive oil can break down when being beaten into a mayonnaise and become very bitter. It's recommended (IIRC, by Alton Brown in his "Mayo Clinic" episode) that you add olive oil at the end of the process, to prevent over-beating.
How long does homemade mayo 'hold'? Do you need to use it all immediately, or can it keep a week or so in the fridge?
@cgups - No! If you look at the nutrition information on the olive oil mayo vs. the other ones, the olive oil didn't seem to be the best choice. (I can't remember exactly why, but I've looked at it a couple of times.)
For those of us who use commercial mayo (I live alone and travel for work every other week - homemade would go to waste) the healthiest I've found is Hellman's (Best Foods on the west coast?) Canola Mayo.
I've been using nothing but 'really good' olive oil (I assume you meant true extra virgin olive oil) for many years and it's never broken down or made my homemade mayo taste bitter.
I make mayo with backyard eggs and freshly squeezed lemon juice (meaning that the eggs are safe and that I the only preservatives are the lemon juice and the sea salt) and my mayo keeps in the fridge, in a glass jar, for a couple of weeks, at least.
I love olive oil mayonnaise, but I prefer Hellman's over the Kraft version by a landslide.
My mother-in-law started me on this (she's a retired nutritionist). Now I'm hooked. It just makes me feel a little bit better that it's somewhat healthier. And I agree that the Hellman's version taste much better than the Kraft.
I made homemade mayo for the first time a couple weeks ago, using olive oil. I love olive oil so assumed it would turn out great. I was so proud that it didn't separate or break, but the end result was gross. It kind of tasted like tart, acidic, bitter, grossness. Why??
I can recommend the reduced fat olive oil vegenaise! No, wait! Come back! Seriously, it's good!
I have been buying McCormick Mayonnaise made in Mexico for the past few years. It is made with lime juice and real sugar with only 12 ingredients. I find it in the Mexican section of the World Foods aisle in my grocery store. I think it taste closest to the homemade mayo I would make.
You must be using the same oil as mejesster. LOL
Three words: make your own.

I've been Learning
Me A Haskell For Great Good because I thought it looked interesting. Of course, I'm completely sold on the idea that functional programming will end world hunger, bring about world peace, send crows to peck out the eyes of my enemies, bring many young women with good birthing hips to my beck and call, double my order for free, and just generally improve my life in every way, shape, and form with zero drawbacks whatsoever.
I am pretty well-versed in imperative paradigms. I learned Java and C++ before I dropped out of university, after which I taught myself Python. My problem is that even beginner tutorials get way far over my head pretty quickly and I'm not sure if there's something specific I'm missing or not understanding or if I just can't quite wrap my head around the whole paradigm just yet. I made it all the way to Section 4.7 of the Haskell Tutorial for C Programmers before I couldn't understand it anymore.
Am I missing something foundational (like those last two years of university)? Or should I just keep going slowly and hopefully it will click? Put another way, what information would help me best bridge the gap between an imperative paradigm and a functional paradigm?

Pros: It is a Honda.
Cons: Do not buy the 2008 Honda Pilot with fabric seats. They are the absolute worst. Everything stains them (eve water!) and they are impossible to clean, even by a professional.

The University of Miami made a surprise addition in two sports Wednesday, landing four-star running back Cornelius Elder, who was ranked the No. 17 running back and 203rd-best player in the Class of 2013 by ESPN.
UM said he also will be permitted to join the basketball team, which was his desire. Hes ranked 35th among all point guards in the 2013 class.
Its a great marriage for us, UM coach Al Golden said on 790 The Ticket, after Elder signed his letter of intent. We have a need at that position [running back]. Excellent speed, lateral quickness, change of direction.
Corn was having trouble trying to decide between going Division 1 in football or playing Division I basketball. He will have an opportunity to walk on [in basketball] and play basketball for a Top 5 program. Were excited to get him in the fold.
The UM football team showed limited interest in Elder for months before making an offer Wednesday morning. He committed a few hours later, choosing UM over Ohio State, Georgia Tech, Mississippi, Auburn and Vanderbilt.
Elder, the 18th player in this UM football recruiting class, tweeted that he has always been a Hurricanes fan. So he was thrilled when the Hurricanes finally made an offer a week after National Signing Day.
Though he can also play slot receiver and cornerback, Elder will play running back for UM a position of need because of the graduation of Mike James and the precarious health situation of Eduardo Clements. Clements has been wearing a neck brace and his status is uncertain, Golden said last week.
Elder, 5-10 and 170 pounds, will join Duke Johnson, Danny Dillard, Dallas Crawford, Clements and another newcomer (Augustus Edwards) as the top backs on UMs roster, and newcomer Ray Lewis III can play running back or defensive back. Maurice Hagens returns at fullback.
During his high school career in Tennessee, Elder produced 6,351 yards and 84 touchdowns. He helped lead his team to three consecutive state titles and ran for 217 yards and three touchdowns in this past seasons championship game. He was Tennessees Mr. Football in 2011 and 2012.
He also led his basketball team to state titles as a sophomore and junior and is averaging 21 points per game this season.
Though UM hadnt been recruiting Elder in basketball, UM coaches like his game and he had several major basketball offers, including from Purdue.
If anyone can do both sports, its him, said Ricky Bowers, his football and basketball coach at Ensworth High in Nashville. Thats because of his skill level, speed, and competitive spirit. As a running back, hes fantastic in space, rare feet, great anticipation. As a basketball player, he has good explosion.
The UM basketball team has been searching for a point guard to back up Shane Larkin next season, and Elder likely will compete for that job.
