Here is a screen cast showing OMHE Microsyntax in action. It also illustrates identity verification and sending information to your physician. -Alan Dr. Ted Eytan MD/MS/MPH recently contributed this wiki page to the OMHE Microsyntax Project on measuring blood pressure at home. Good evidence exists to support home blood pressure monitoring. His article discusses the “why” and the “how” of home blood pressure monitoring. http://code.google.com/p/omhe/wiki/bp Dr. Eytan works for Kaiser Permanente and lives in Washington D.C., the epicenter of health care transformation and mHealth innovation. His personal blog is www.tedeytan.com and his Twitter name is: @tedeytan If you know me well, then you know that I love to cook (and eat) Indian, Nepali, and Thai cuisine. I really like Nepali achars (pickles) as well as momos. Momos are like Chinese dumplings but stuffed with Nepali goodness and served with tomato or timur achar. I’ve found this website very helpful and tried many of the recipes here: http://nepalicooking.tripod.com/ One important tip: timur is hard to find and you probably won’t find it in an Indian grocery store; however, it’s a very important ingredient in many Nepali achars. The trick is knowing that it is the same as “Szechuan pepper”, which is not really a pepper at all. Look for it in the herb section of a large well-stocked Asian grocery store. On a side note, timur can also be used as a rub for fish and meats. Try grinding the timur seeds in a coffee grinder and then coating a steak with them and a little Kosher salt and grill. Yummm! Jimbu is another hard to find spice used in Nepali cooking. I only have some because our friend (Shana) brought it back for us the last time she went to Nepal. If anyone knows of where you can get in the States, please let me know. Namaste, -Alan My sister asked me to compile a list of some of the best places to eat in Baltimore for her friend. I thought a blog post would be better in case someone else asks. Check this blog in the future for great places to eat in Morgantown WV, Monterey & Carmel CA, and Washington D.C. Here is the Baltimore “it” list in no particular order. The Black Olive ($$$$ – Fells Point): Greek seafood. This is my favorite…and everyone else loves it, too! Specializes in whole fish. Very, very good. Make sure to try the baklava ice cream! 814 South Bond Street The Helmand ($$$ – Mt. Vernon) : If you’ve never tried Afghan food, you’ll love it after going here. Both the veg and meat dishes are great. Apps are also awesome. Make sure to try the bread. Desserts are also good. Hamid Karzai’s cousin owns this place and it’s considered the best Afghan in U.S. Kind of fancy, but not too expensive. You need a reservation! 806 North Charles Street Lumbini ($$ – Charles St., Mt. Vernon): Nepali/Indian. I especially like going for their lunch buffet. They have momos on the Saturday buffet, which must be tried. I also really enjoy the goat curry, radish pickle, and the carrot dessert. No reservation necessary. 322 North Charles Street http://www.lumbinirestaurant.com/ The Woodberry Kitchen ($$$$ – Woodbury): Great food. Almost everything is local and/or organic. I first saw this place on the Food Network. You need a reservation. 2010 Clipper Park Road, No. 126 http://www.woodberrykitchen.com/ The Brewer’s Art ($$$ – Mt. Vernon): The pub fare in the basement is great…try the garlic fries with a Resurrection Ale. Yes they make the beer. More formal American/Belgian menu available upstairs in the restaurant. Reservations recommended if eating upstairs. 1106 North Charles Street The Waterfront Hotel ($$$ – Fell’s Point): It’s not actually a hotel. Downstairs is a bar, but if you go upstairs there is a nice dining room and lounge. Go for brunch on the weekend. $1 raw oysters all the time. Try the crab hash. Reservations highly recommended. 1710 Thymes St Baltimore (Fell’s Point) http://www.waterfronthotel.us/ Tamber’s ($$ – Charles Village) : This is a regular American diner, but with an India menu in the back. We didn’t try anything but the Indian food, which was great! We had the mushroom dish and the eggplant dish and both were top notch. Right beside Homewood Johns Hopkins Campus. Reservations not needed. 3327 Saint Paul Street http://www.tambersrestaurant.com/ Jack’s Bistro ($$$$ – Canton): American/contemporary food, steaks, seafood, etc. Very good. Reservations needed. 3123 Elliott Street Sip & Bite ($ – Fells Point): Classic diner with Greek food. Great crab cakes….try them grilled. Open 24 hours. No reservation needed. 2200 Boston St (410) 675-7077 Faidley’s Seafood at Lexington Market ($$$ – Downtown): Try a Jumbo lump crab cake at Faidley’s! Wow! You can eat there but you have to stand. Great place for lunch. Lexington market has a little of everything. 400 West Lexington Street I was mentioned in this article on cnn.com posted January 12 a part of the “Empowered Patient” series. Also mentioned in the article are my sister Leslie Crytser, e-patient Dave, Jen McCabe, and Regina Holiday. Here is the link: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/01/14/medical.records/ Twitter IDs are: @aviars (me) Hello all. I wrote this article about my father’s heart surgery and the struggles we went through. It was published on e-patients.net here: http://e-patients.net/archives/2010/01/my-father%E2%80%99s-medical-record-fiasco.html -Alan I’m pleased to introduce Open Mobile Health Exchange (OMHE): A http://microsyntax.org project. Simply put, OMHE is a language for saying things over SMS, Twitter, and similar services. Read More Here: http://code.google.com/p/omhe …and here http://microsyntax.org I was just playing with the bit.ly python library and wrote a quick function & command line utility to shorten URLs. Prerequisites = bitly.py, simplejson Run it like this…………. Here is the source code.
#prerequisites = bitly.py, simplejson # Run it like this…………. def shortenURL(login, apikey, url): try: api = bitly.Api(login=login, apikey=apikey) except: return short if __name__ == “__main__”: try: try: I hope this is useful. You have to have a bit.ly account to use this. You need an api_key which is not the same as your password. Get the api_key from your accounts page. Finding where to get the api_key wasn’t obvious. I get asked for this recipe or I’m asked to make this dish it all the time. And for good reason…its sooooo good. Trust me, almost everyone loves this dish. If you are a fan of hot and spicy food and beef this will be your new favorite. I don’t follow a strict recipe here. This is an “eyeball” recipe but it always comes out great. You’ll likely need to go to a decent Asian grocery store to get all the ingredients. INGREDIENTS:
STEP 1: Preparing the Marinade (Make enough depending on how much meat you have to marinade)
Step 2: Preparing the Steak
Step 3: Preparing the Condiment (Thai Chili Fish Sauce)
Step 4: Grilling the Steak
Step 5: Serving
This is always a crowd pleaser. Enjoy! |
