Those extra pounds could be hurting your chances for promotion, according to research conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership. The Wall Street Journal reports that executives with bigger waistlines and higher body mass index (BMI) were perceived to be "less effective in the workplace, both in performance and interpersonal relationships."
CCL analysts reached the conclusions after combining data from peer-performance reviews and health assessments.
The reasons for this effect seem to be twofold. One part may be simple stereotyping: overweight people may be seen as lazy or lacking self-control, regardless of individual reality. The article also suggests that today, executives need physical endurance to effectively manage the demands of global business. A CEO who runs marathons may seem more physically capable than one who focuses on wining and dining clients.
The lower ratings for higher-BMI executives were peer assessments – the researchers didn't look at actual performance. Some of the differences may be due to self-image and confidence. The article quotes one CEO, David Kirchoff, as saying he carries himself with "more confidence and authority" after dropping 40 excess pounds. (What corporation does Kirchoff head? None other than Weight Watchers International!)
Those angling for a promotion should continue to focus on the traditional metrics of hard work, solid results, and networking. But, this research suggests, a little extra edge can be gained in both performance perception and interpersonal relationships by projecting a fit, trim image.

Can you fact-check "green" home products?
Question: Could you name three great products that exceed your expectations?
Answer: We have installed Teragren Strand Bamboo flooring in both our downtown condo at Smart Corner and in our showroom. Bamboo is a renewable material and it is manufactured under a process that fuses bamboo fibers with an environmentally safe adhesive under extreme pressure. It's 154 percent harder than red oak, according to the manufacturer. We find it wears like steel, making it perfect for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial settings.
HunterDouglas Duette Architella honeycomb shades reduces energy loss up to 50 percent. Their R-Value (a measure of thermal resistance) is the equivalent of a brick wall.
Our 2006 Prius gives us 48 miles to the gallon. It's also dependable, roomy inside and has a surprisingly large trunk.
Question: Investing in green is good for the planet, but is it also good for one's bottom line?
Answer: The $19,000 solar panels we have on our Scripps Ranch home have been an excellent investment. We don't have any electric bills, so we're saving approximately $2,000 to $2,400 a year compared to what we used to spend.
We also believe that the solar panels have increased the value of our home equivalent to their cost. Our feeling is confirmed by a report released in April by the U.S. Department of Energy's ... which found strong evidence that homes with solar photovoltaic systems sell for a premium over homes without solar systems. Besides being the right thing to do for our planet, we think green design is intelligent design.

Breast Surgery
Mass General/North Shore Breast Health Center
offers a team of breast surgery experts to evaluate and diagnose conditions from benign breast disease to breast cancer. Working in concert with breast cancer surgeons and other experts from the Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center they map out the best course of treatment. In addition, they work in tandem with our plastic surgeons to give you the best options for breast reconstruction, if necessary. Immediate reconstructive (plastic) surgery is possible in nearly all patients.
Breast Surgery Program
Surgical Biopsy
Your surgeon will surgically remove a sample of the lump or the suspicious area, for evaluation by a pathologist. This biopsy may be aided by a pre-operative needle localization procedure, where your surgeon and radiologist inject markers guided by imaging into the breast to pinpoint the suspicious area to be examined. The needle localization is done while your breast is compressed in mammogram paddles. A picture of the breast is taken to find the area to be localized. The skin over the site is cleansed with Betadine and numbed, and then a needle containing a wire is inserted into the breast. Two images of breast are taken. If necessary, the needle position will be adjusted and additional films are taken to confirm it is at the correct site. When the needle is in the correct place, it will be removed and a fine wire will remain in place to guide the surgeon during biopsy or lumpectomy. Another mammogram will be taken to map the relationship of the wire's position to the lesion undergoing biopsy; the surgeon will use this map to guide the surgery.
Lumpectomy and Mastectomy
Women today have a choice when facing surgery for breast cancer. The choice is between lumpectomy (breast conservation) or a mastectomy (breast removal). A number of new technologies make it possible for more patients to receive aggressive treatment while sparing more of their breast tissue. Although these treatments are not appropriate for all patients, your physician will help you understand the advantages and disadvantages and determine which options may be right for you. The results and long term follow-up of large national and international clinical trials have proven that breast conserving surgery is equivalent to mastectomy for women whose tumors are 5cm or less and localized to the breast.
Our surgeons work collaboratively with medical and radiation oncologists of the Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center to plan out the best course of treatment for each patient. Many women today have the option of starting with the systemic chemotherapy treatment (neoadjuvant therapy) first before surgery is performed. This approach may be necessary to show how effective the treatment may or may not be for that tumor or for a given person or it may be used to shrink the tumor to make breast-preserving surgery more likely. In many cases, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy may be required after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
Our Breast Health Center surgeons have access to the best and most advanced methods of diagnosing and analyzing breast cancer. Part of the evaluation of patients with invasive breast cancer is the testing of lymph nodes in the areas surrounding the breast to see if cancer has spread there. Knowing whether tumor cells have lodged in lymph nodes helps determine the need for systemic treatments (hormonal or chemotherapy) and most importantly, it guides the selection of the treatments as well as the need for radiation therapy. Lymphatic mapping with sentinel-node biopsy is used to determine if cancer cells have spread to the nodes without doing full lymph node dissection. By performing a sentinel lymph node biopsy, the surgeon removes the most important nodes and leaves other lymph nodes alone safely, decreasing the possibility of a lifetime of a painful swollen arm for the woman.
Lymphatic Mapping
First, you will be given an injection of a radioactive liquid will be injected into one or more areas near the site of the cancer. The radioactive liquid will flow toward the sentinel nodes so they can be seen on the pictures that will be taken during the scanning and localized during the surgery. The injection will cause a brief stinging or burning sensation. To map the nodes of a breast tumor, you will lie on your back with your elbows out to the side and your hands behind or just over your head. The pictures will show the flow and area of increased absorption of the radioactive liquid in your lymph nodes. Your surgeon will use this as a guide (or map) to determine the location of the lymph nodes that drain the cancer.
Sentinel-Node Biopsy
After you are asleep in the operating room, your surgeon injects a small amount of a blue dye just under the nipple of the affected breast. This dye will travel toward the sentinel nodes. Your surgeon will then use a hand-held device to locate and measure the radioactivity of the liquid that was injected at the time of the mapping procedure. Once the surgeon finds the sentinel nodes with the device, he or she will make a small incision. The surgeon will see the nodes because they will be blue from the dye injected. The nodes will be removed and sent to the Pathology Department for examination under a microscope. This may be done during your operation, as a "frozen section" or after the operation, as a "permanent section," depending on which your doctor believes is most appropriate.
If the pathology examination reveals there are cancer cells in the sentinel node, a full lymph node dissection will be done immediately or at a later date, as determined by your doctor. If an excision (surgical removal) or re-excision of the original tumor site is required, the surgeon will do this as well. If you had a frozen section and the results indicate that the sentinel node is free of cancer cells, the small incision will be closed and your breast operation will be completed. Additional studies will be done on the sentinel nodes. Further lymph node removal may be necessary, depending on the findings of these studies.
Breast reconstruction surgery
For women who desire reconstruction, our breast cancer surgeons work closely with plastic and reconstructive surgeons to evaluate the woman's goals, medical history, physical examination and potential need for additional cancer treatment to decide on the best type of reconstruction that can be designed for her needs.
Our breast reconstructive surgeons can offer women a number of reconstructive options, some of which can be done at the time of the mastectomy or lumpectomy. Our breast surgeons have expertise in performing skin-sparing mastectomies where the entire breast skin surface and even, part of the nipple-areola complex can be saved, too.
Breast reconstruction can be done using a water-filled tissue expander placed in the site of the removed breast at the time of the mastectomy, subsequent expansion of the skin to replace the skin removed with the mastectomy is followed by placing a permanent breast implant in the cavity created by the expander. Another method of reconstruction involves transferring tissue from the abdomen or back to fill the space left by the lumpectomy.
The Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous (TRAM) flap in which fat and muscle are transferred from the lower abdomen to the mastectomy site, and shaped to form a breast. Skin is used to reconstruct a nipple, which is subsequently tattooed the same color as the other nipple. If more skin is needed to close the mastectomy site, a muscle from the back called the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap with an implant may be used.
High Risk Management
Our breast surgeons work closely with our medical oncologists to assess and manage the treatment of high risk patients. These patients may be advised to have earlier, more frequent and advanced diagnostic testing, participate in genetic testing and counseling, be prescribed breast cancer prevention medications, or counseled to change lifestyle factors.

From February 22 – March 30, the Packer Shopf Gallery exhibits the incomparable works of three exceptionally talented and unique artists. Artist, Elanor Spiess-Ferris presents her collection: Fecundity, a noun which has been said to describe creativity as well as a fruitful condition within nature in addition to her own being. Nature has been the most fertile source of Elanor's ideas and works for this collection as she listens and acknowledges nature's existence and acquires the innate ability to create amazing artwork.
The pieces presented in the exhibition, Peter Karklins' Mother eARTh, are filled with forms that are unparalleled due to their connectivity and boundlessness. At fist glance, one is stricken by the grotesque quality of the pieces. Yet, "beneath this ugliness pulses something so beautiful that it is almost sublime". In Karklins' showcase, the pieces blur the line completely between elements such as man and woman, human and animal, or animal and nature. His drawings were most notably created during his night shifts as a security guard and captured the attention of both DePaul philosophy professors and the University of Chicago Press.
Don Di Sante has been said to feel misplaced in time, this is paralleled in his work within the traditional style of portrait painting. For Di Sante, his collection, It Was Not His Own Tale He Was Telling, signifies a connection to the past and a welcomes a disconnect from the present. Di Sante is an artist that finds much to explore and excites in the knowledge of infinite possibilities that accompany the confines of portraiture artwork.
The bold and brave perspectives of these artists are sure to make a unmistakably influential exhibition.

We're excited to introduce two of our newest coffee cherry teas from Bolivia. Now you can enjoy both in this Sultana Coffee Cherry Tea Set. The Sultana Tangerine offers bright and sweet flavors of orange peel with a hint of cinnamon and various spices. The Sultana Lemon Verbena offers a bright fusion of floral and citrus undertones. It has a slight country lemonade aftertaste.
Coffee cherry tea is rarely produced for export, but is commonly
drunk in some coffee-growing nations, notably Bolivia and, as the
variant Qishr in Yemen.
It is commonly consumed in Bolivia, where it is referred to as Sultana,
and is made of sun-dried and lightly toasted coffee cherries. It may
also be mixed with sticks of cinnamon. It is also called "the poor man's
coffee", and "the coffee of the Army".
Coffee cherries contain caffeine, as does the tea, though while the tea is popularly understood to have a high level of caffeine,
it actually only has about a quarter the caffeine levels of coffee. The taste of coffee cherry tea is different from coffee, and has been
described as somewhat sweet and cherry flavored, surprisingly pleasant.

Plans for 34 homes in Brigham refused
Last updated at 13:00, Friday, 14 December 2012
Plans for 34 homes in Brigham have been unanimously rejected at a council meeting attended by around 40 villagers.
Home Group wanted to build an estate on land east of Ellerbeck Brow with 12 houses for social rent, 12 affordable homes and 10 for sale on the open market.
The plans were recommended for approval by Allerdale council planning officers, but the development panel on Tuesday unanimously refused them.
Councillors said that the estate would not be in keeping with the character of the village, would have an adverse affect on the landscape and there would be problems with access.
The plans attracted 210 letters of objection and a 34-signature petition, along with one letter of support.
Brigham resident Mark Greaves told the meeting: "The design doesn't reflect the village character and there are no benefits to us."
Many residents were also unhappy that no provision was allowed for any green space or a play area, although Brian Barden, agent for the applicant, said that one could be added as a condition.
The development was expected to increase the number of school children in the village to seven, pushing St Bridget's School over capacity by four pupils. A report to councillors suggested that the developers should pay £51,870 towards expanding the school or funding the cost of transporting extra children elsewhere.
Elsa Brailey, head of development at Home Group, said: "Home Group consulted with the community about this development from a very early stage.
"We're disappointed councillors did not agree with the recommendation for approval. These homes would have met a local need for social and affordable housing.
"The families in Brigham in need of social housing are not going to go away and the demand for homes is only going to grow."

Have your say
Can someone please explain to me what Social Housing and Social Rent are?
At one time anyone on the Dole was said to be "on the social"; does this mean that the houses are for the unemployed?
This article doesnt mention that at the Consultation event 93% of the attendees were against the development from the start. Mrs Brailey said it was also the best attended consultation she had been to.This article also doesnt indicate that the 10 private houses were not going to be built by Home Group and there was no consultation regarding these at the initial meeting.Home housing were approached by the land owner and told they could have the land cheap if they managed to get building approval for the whole development.There was also no obligatory play space.The residents who objected are not against social housing but does not believe that houses should be put on a Greenfield site outside the village boundaries when other more suitable sites are available.Also, the school cannot accommodate more children and it is not acceptable that 4yr old children should be taxied to other schools outside of Brigham.And it is not possible to walk on a pavement out of the village into Cockermouth. The main road is 60mph and I would never walk on it my my child as it is too dangerous.

The multiple comparator triggering is caused by noise at the comparator signal inputs (either signal or reference). Because of this noise, the output of the comparator will oscillate when the input is near the reference threshold. This oscillation will generate multiple interrupts on the comaprator bus. The best way to eliminate this problem is to use the hysteresis comparator. For more information please refer to the following application notes.

Annual celebratory nod to vintage kitsch of Hawaiian beach parties at Crowne Plaza
Not that the confab isn't family friendly. One of the event sponsors is the Walt Disney Museum — his interest in Polynesia pop culture is reflected in Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room — and activities during the day include the Tiki Tot Playroom, the Tiki Tween Party Room and the Tiki Tot Tour of the Crowne Plaza with King Kukulele.
While they're not listed in the program, room parties are the major after-hours entertainment. The Tiki Oasis program distances the parties from the actual event with the notice: "Occasionally room parties occur at Tiki Oasis. These parties are private and by invitation only."
In reality, a dozen parties were held Friday and eight were scheduled for Saturday. Among the hosts was Victor Estrella of Petaluma in Sonoma County, who for five years has welcomed people to "Tiki Hell."
Calling themselves the North Bay Rum Club, Estrella and friends from his high school class of 1980 conceived of the idea of a Tiki Heaven and Tiki Hell room. He picked the hell room and continues to offer people the antithesis of Tiki cool: whiskey drinks instead of rum and '80s radio pop as a soundtrack.
"If you're too cool for yourself, you're not going to get it," he said.
Estrella, a special education teacher, said hosting the room annually is a way of keeping in touch with his high school friends. It costs about $1,000 to put it together, and they don't make anything on the event.
Why does he do it?
"No reason," he said. "Why do guys do anything?"
Festivities continue from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. today, and no ticket is required to attend the car show in the parking lot, the art show or marketplace.

Read this from The Guardian. Key sentence:
[T]he [British] state has a policy of grooming our children for an age of conformity and unquestioning obedience, where some avuncular authority that springs from an indeterminate alliance of police, Home Office and control-freak schoolteachers plays more part in the upbringing of children than parents do.
As I've said before, Great Britain seems far more advanced than the U.S. in moving toward an Orwellian State. Lin, who has regrettably suspended posts over at Fluffytek (else we'd hope to hear her take on all this), must live with this. We observe it from afar, hoping that similar absurdities will not be visited upon our own society.
As some commentators have noted, however, all it would take would be one more 9/11-type terrorist attack within the United States and the majority of people would, to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, give up many of their freedoms to gain a little security. Try taking photos of bridges, refineries, dockyards, airports, etc., the day after that happens!
A fun and inventive session, with only a ribbon as prop.

New for 2015The Jaguar F-Type remains largely unchanged for the 2015 model year, but an F-Type Coupe is introduced, which allows Jaguar to compete more directly with Porsche 911s and Chevrolet Corvettes. The F-Type Coupe is powered by the same V-6 and V-8 engines as the convertible, but adds a new high performance F-Type R that increases the output of the supercharged V-8 to 550 hp.
Vehicle OverviewThe Jaguar F-Type marks the return of a sports car to the automaker, one it's needed for years. Available as a coupe and convertible, the F-Type is reminiscent of the classic E-Type, but with its own modern flair, and comes equipped with one of the best exhaust notes to come straight from any automaker's factory. Once the XK coupe and convertible are discontinued after the 2015 model year, the F-Type continues as Jaguar's sole sporty two-door.
SummaryThe 2015 Jaguar F-Type is a rear-drive sports car, available in coupe or convertible forms, and with a quartet of engines that send their power through a ZF eight-speed automatic. The base engine is a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 that's available at two output levels, for F-Type and F-Type S models. The standard engine makes 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, while the S models produce 380 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque. Each level of performance receives its own unique final drive ratio (3.15:1 standard, and 3.31:1 on S models), making performance distinct on each model, while retaining an intoxicating exhaust note. EPA-estimated fuel efficiency is 20/28 mpg (city/highway) for base models, and 19/27 mpg for S models.
Like the V-6, the available supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 is available in two different power levels, with the F-Type S V-8 Convertible making 495 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, and the F-Type R Coupe making 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. EPA-estimated fuel economy is an identical 16/23 mpg.
The 2015 F-Type's convertible top can be raised or lowered in 12 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph. Notable features on the F-Type include HID headlights, adaptive front lighting (with automatic high beams), a powered rear hatch on the coupe, an active rear spoiler (raises above 60 mph on convertible and 70 mph on coupe), configurable driving dynamics, an eight-inch infotainment screen, active center air vents (they raise when needed and stay hidden otherwise), customizable interior lighting, blind spot monitoring, a closing vehicle sensor (if a vehicle is approaching quickly from behind at speed that might make lane changes more dangerous), and a dynamic stability control system.
The 2015 Jaguar F-Type has not been evaluated by the NHTSA or the IIHS.
What We ThinkWe're not kidding when we say the 2015 Jaguar F-Type has one of the best exhaust notes available straight out of a showroom, regardless of engine choice. The selectable active exhaust option is a box we checked on our Four Seasons 2015 Jaguar F-Type S Coupe, an option that "opens bypass valves in the exhaust under hard acceleration. The sweet mechanical music that follows, especially the crackle and pop when you lift off the gas, are worthy of an Italian supercar." This is standard on V-6 S, V-8 S, and R models. We've heard more artificial exhaust notes piped through speaker systems this year than we'd care to admit, but the Jaguar is pure, unsynthesized, goodness.
The F-Type isn't all aural enjoyment, however, as it has the handling chops to back up the soundtrack. In a Driven Review of a 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe we noted that, "when the surface is rainswept and slick, you'll appreciate that a brake-type torque vectoring system helps tug the front end toward the apex of a corner, while an electric-type limited-slip differential puts down the power evenly through the rear wheels as you accelerate away." Handling was excellent, and in our Driven Review of a 2015 Type R Coupe we said "the R has the quickest steering ever fitted to a production-model Jaguar, blending spontaneous turn-in with delicate weighting and low effort. Having said that, the direction finder could still do with a bit more self-centering, a bit more concentration around the straight-ahead position, and a bit more feedback when held on (opposite) lock."
The F-Type marks a turning point for the brand as it attempts to lure more than a few people from the German cars they're used to. If you're dying for AWD or a manual transmission, you only have to wait for the 2016 model, though both new features won't be available together: V-6 cars will get a stick-shift option, and V-8 cars will get AWD standard.
The 2015 Jaguar F-Type coupe is a sports car, not a grand touring car. While it's generally civilized, the car always remains a pretty tough proposition -- a little noisy, a little uncomfortable, and a little more than you bargained for.

French fries (North American English; sometimes not capitalized), chips (British English), fries, or French-fried potatoes (formal) are pieces of potato that have been deep-fried. A distinction is sometimes made between fries and chips, whereby North Americans refer to any pieces of fried potatoes as fries, while in the UK, long thin strips of potatoes are sometimes called fries to contrast them with the thickly cut strips, which are always referred to as chips. French fries are known as pommes frites in large parts of Europe (i.e. Germany, France, Sweden, etc).
The straightforward explanation of the term is that it means potatoes fried in the French sense of the verb "to cook", which can mean either sautéing or deep-grease frying, while its French origin, frire, unambiguously means deep-frying: frites being its past participle used with a plural feminine substantive, as in pommes de terre frites ("deep-fried potatoes"). Thomas Jefferson, famous for serving French dishes, wrote exactly the latter French expression. In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used for foods such as onion rings or chicken, apart from potatoes.
The verb "to french", though not attested until after "French fried potatoes" had appeared , can refer to "julienning" of vegetables as is acknowledged by some dictionaries, while others only refer to trimming the meat off the shanks of chops. In the UK, "Frenched" lamb chops (particularly for serving as a 'rack of lamb') have the majority of the fat removed together with a small piece of fatty meat from between the ends of the chop bones, leaving mainly only the meat forming the "eye" of the chop attached.
The Dutch concur with a Southern Netherlandish or Belgian origin when referring to Vlaamse frieten ('Flemish fries'). In 1857, the newspaper Courrier de Verviers devotes an article to Fritz (assumed pun with 'frites'), a Belgian entrepreneur selling French fries at fairs, calling them "le roi des pommes de terre frites" (The king of fried potatoes). In 1862, a stall selling French fried potatoes (see frietkot) called "Max en Fritz" was established near Het Steen in Antwerp.
A Belgian legend claims that the term "French" was introduced when British or American soldiers arrived in Belgium during World War I, and consequently tasted Belgian fries. They supposedly called them "French", as it was the official language of the Belgian Army at that time. But the term "French fried potatoes" had been in use in America long before the Great War.
Whether or not Belgians invented them, "frites" became the national snack and a substantial part of both national dishes — making the Belgians their largest per capita consumers in Europe, and their "symbolic" creators.
Recipes for fried potatoes (not clearly specified how) in French cookbooks date back at least to Menon's Les soupers de la cour (1755). It is true that eating potatoes was promoted in France by Parmentier, but he did not mention fried potatoes in particular. And the name of the dish in languages other than English does not refer to France; in French, they are simply called "pommes de terres frites" or, more commonly, simply "pommes frites" or 'frites'.
Professor Paul Ilegems, curator of the Friet-museum in Antwerp, Belgium, believes that Saint Teresa of Ávila fried the first chips, referring also to the tradition of frying in Mediterranean cuisine.
Although the thicker cut English style of fried potato was already a popular dish in most Commonwealth countries, the thin style of french fries has been popularized worldwide in part by U.S.-based fast-food chains like McDonald's and Burger King. This came about through the introduction of the frozen French fry invented by the J.R. Simplot Company of Idaho in the early 1950s. Before the handshake deal between Ray Kroc of McDonald's and Jack Simplot, potatoes were hand-cut and peeled in the restaurants, but Simplot's frozen product reduced preparation time and aided the expansion of the McDonald's franchise. One of the few fast-food chains that still prepares fresh potatoes on the premises is In-N-Out Burger. Others include Nathan's Famous, Five Guys, the Canadian chain Harvey's, and Penn Station.
Newer varieties of French fries include those which have been battered and breaded, and many U.S. fast-food and casual food chains have turned to dusting with kashi, dextrin and flavors coating for crispier fries with particular tastes. Results with new batterings and breadings, followed by microwaving, remain sub-standard, though oven frying may deliver reasonable fries, albeit different from the traditionally fried item.
French fries have numerous variants, from "thick-cut fries" to "shoestring fries", "jojo fries", "crinkle fries", "curly fries" and many other names. They can also be coated with breading and spices, which include garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika and salt to create "seasoned fries", or cut thickly with the skin left on to create potato wedges, or without the skin to create "steak fries", essentially the American equivalent of the British "chip". Sometimes, French fries are cooked in the oven as a final step in the preparation (having been coated with oil during preparation at the factory): these are often sold frozen and are called "oven fries" or "oven chips".
In France, the thick-cut fries are called 'pommes Pont-Neuf' or simply 'pommes frites', about 10 mm; thinner variants are 'pommes allumettes' (matchstick potatoes), ±7 mm, and 'pommes pailles' (potato straws), 3-4 mm (roughly ⅜, ¼ and ⅛ inch respectively). The two-bath technique is standard (Bocuse). 'Pommes gaufrettes' or "waffle-cut potatoes" are not typical French fried potatoes, but actually crisps obtained by quarter turning the potato before each next slide over a grater and deep-frying just once.
A Belgian chef patented "steppegras" ('prairie grass'), his variety of extremely thin-cut French fried potatoes developed in 1968 while working in Germany. The name refers to a dish including its particular sauce, and to his restaurant.
In Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland and elsewhere, the term "French fries" was made popular by American fast-food franchises setting up restaurants and serving narrow-cut (shoestring) fries. Traditional "chips" in the United Kingdom and Ireland are usually cut much thicker, typically between ⅜ and ½ inches (9.5-13 mm) square in cross-section and cooked twice, making them less crunchy on the outside and fluffier on the inside. Since the surface-to-volume ratio is lower, they have a lower fat content. Chips are part of the popular take-away dish fish and chips. In Australia, the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand, few towns are without a chip shop (colloquially, a chippie/chippy/chipper).
In an interview, Burger King president Donald Smith said that his chain's fries are sprayed with a sugar solution shortly before being packaged and shipped to individual outlets. The sugar caramelizes in the cooking fat, producing the golden color customers expect. Without it, the fries would be nearly the same color outside as inside: pasty yellow. Smith believes that McDonald's also sugar-coats its fries. McDonalds was assumed to fry their fries for a total time of about 15 to 20 minutes, and with fries fried at least twice. The fries appear to contain beef lard, or shortening.
Besides being a popular snack in themselves, French fried potatoes as a side dish to specific food or an integral part of a named dish often typify a country:
French fries are almost always salted just after cooking. They are then served with a variety of condiments, notably ketchup, curry, curry ketchup (mildly hot mix of the former), hot or chili sauce, mustard, mayonnaise, bearnaise sauce, tartar sauce, tzatziki, feta cheese, garlic sauce, fry sauce, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, gravy, brown sauce, vinegar (especially malt vinegar), lemon, piccalilli, pickled cucumber, gherkins, very small pickled onions, or honey.
Even the smallest Belgian town has a frietkot (literally 'fries shack'). This Dutch language term also became adopted by the French-speaking part of the country in addition to the French friterie; an equivalent though slightly less colloquial Dutch form for such vending stall is frietkraam, while a frituur — from French friture — can as well be in a proper shop possibly furnished with tables. Traditionally, take-away chips were picked by the fingers out of a tip bag wrapped from a square paper, while walking on the streets. By the 1970s and 80s with several meat accompaniments gaining popularity, more practical open carton boxes became standard and tiny plastic forks available. One can order a small or large portion, often three or four sizes are priced.
Fries with mayonnaise is a fastfood classic in Belgium, often eaten without any side orders. The limited choice around 1960 between a pickled herring, a cold large meatball boulet or red-coloured garlic sausage cervela (both often served deep-fried later on), or a beef or (now rarely) horsemeat stew, became expanded by stoofvlees or stoofkarbonade and a wide variety of deep-fried meats as chicken legs, beef or pork sticks, minced beef and/or pork and/or chicken and/or turkey in all shapes (balls, sticks, sausages) mixed with a dosage of fat and condiments to one's preference, usually factory made. An example of an additional on-the-spot preparation is sometimes in Flanders called mammoet speciaal (mammoth special), a large frikandel (curryworst in Antwerp and Flemish Brabant) deep-fried and cut so as to put chopped onion in the V-shaped length and dressed with mayonnaise and (curry-)ketchup. The earliest of the current wide array of sauces, are mayonnaise, fritessaus or sauce pommes-frites ("fry sauce" in English—see the sections on France and the Netherlands) and a local pickle-sauce similar to piccalilli. Though Belgians do not sprinkle vinegar on fries, they may eat them with cold mussels out of the shells preserved in vinegar, entirely uncomparable to the national dish with freshly-boiled hot mussels served in the shells.
In Northern England, Scotland and South Wales, chips and gravy is a popular dish. In parts of England and Scotland, 'cheesy chips' or 'chips 'n cheese', chips with grated cheddar thickly sprinkled on can be found. In the United Kingdom, the term french fries refers exclusively to the long thin version served in fast food establishments. The most common accompaniment for chips in England is tomato ketchup. Meals served with chips are often accompanied by mushy peas or baked beans. In the Midlands and some Northern regions of England a takeaway of chips with either mushy peas or baked beans is called a "pea mix" or "bean mix" respectively.
In Edinburgh and Fife, a local speciality is to serve chips with salt and sauce (a mixture of brown sauce and vinegar). Often the vinegar is actually non-brewed condiment, a solution of acetic acid coloured with caramel. Fish and chips in parts of Scotland is more commonly called a 'fish supper'.
In the Isle of Man, chips are traditionally served with cheese and gravy.
In Irish, "chips" are called "sceallóga" (singular: "sceallóg").
In Canada, French fries are the main component of a dish called 'poutine' french for "a mess": a mixture of French fries with fresh cheese curds (sometimes rasped cheese), covered with a hot gravy (usually), hot chicken sauce (much less common), or chicken BBQ sauce (rarely). This dish was invented in Pointe Gatineau, Quebec and its popularity has spread throughout Quebec and the rest of Canada. Not only now found at road-side chip stands but it is carried in national chains such as Harvey's and New York Fries as well as Canadian outlets of international franchises such as A&W, Burger King and Mc Donald's. (A similar variant, 'disco fries' is found in several New England cities.)
Throughout Canada, white vinegar is a popular condiment for French fries. No other country is known to so enjoy white vinegar (as opposed to malt or other vinegars) on its fries (although it is served as an accompaniment for Fish and Chips in Australia). Most major Canadian fast-food outlets provide white vinegar packets next to their ketchup packets in their stores, and many restaurants keep white vinegar on their tables. That is not to say that the use of malt vinegar is not common – particularly amongst those of English heritage. In most traditional 'fish & chips' shops in Canada, malt vinegar is more prevalent. However, ketchup and vinegar remain the most popular condiments used on French fries in Canada.
In Newfoundland, "chips, dressing and gravy" (sometimes referred to by outsiders as "Newfie fries") comprise French fries topped with "dressing" (turkey stuffing made with summer savoury) and gravy. Another variation consists of topping the French Fries with either ground beef, hot dogs, dressing and cheese and topped with gravy.
In the Netherlands, fries are popular as fast food, served as patat (for the French patates frites) in vending points that often very similar to the ones in Belgium but called snackbars. Traditionally, fries are served with mayonnaise or a lower-fat version called fritessaus, although the latter is often also referred to as mayonnaise. This combination is usually called patat met (for literally "fries with"), as opposed to patat zonder ("fries without", without any sauce). Other popular sauces are satésaus (satay sauce, a peanut sauce that is also served with the Indonesian meat sate), ketchup, speciaal (special; a mixture of chopped onions, fritessaus, and ketchup). Another interesting combination is Patat Oorlog (Dutch for: French Fries War), which is French fries with a variety of sauces, a variety that differs from region to region, and even from one snackbar to another. While it sometimes means mayonnaise (or rather, fritessaus), peanut sauce and chopped raw onions, in other places it means the fries are accompanied with all condiments available. Dutch snackbars typically offer at least eight condiments or combinations of them (the condiments are never free in Dutch snackbars), but some serve up to forty different styles.
When taken as fast food, fries are often accompanied by other popular deep-fried fast foods such as the kroket and frikandel, but fries are also served as a side dish in regular restaurants. A well-made fries recipe would give the fries a fried fish and pastry-like fragrance. The texture of this fries indicates that it may have first been blanched before frying.
In the United States, by far the most popular condiment for fries is ketchup, so much so that consumption of restaurant fries drives ketchup sales. Occasionally mustard is used, and malt vinegar mainly available at restaurants which serve fish and chips. Fries are sometimes coated with melted cheese, called cheese fries. This can be in combination with chili, making chili cheese fries. A staple at many sports bars is fries with bleu cheese dressing as a dip, or sometimes ranch dressing.
Steak fries are thicker-cut fries, often with the skins intact (they are also sometimes known as Texas[-style] fries in this form). They are often coated with spices or marinaded before cooking. They may be fried or baked in the oven.
French fries can contain a large amount of fat (usually saturated) or oils from frying. Some researchers have suggested that the high temperatures used for frying such dishes may have results harmful to health (see acrylamides). In the United States about ¼ of vegetables consumed are prepared as French fries and are proposed to contribute to widespread obesity. Frying French fries in beef tallow, adds saturated fat to the diet. Replacing tallow with tropical oils such as palm oil simply substitutes one saturated fat for another. Replacing tallow with partially hydrogenated oil reduces cholesterol but adds trans fat, which has been shown to both raise LDL cholesterol and lower HDL cholesterol. Many restaurants now advertise their use of unsaturated oils. Five Guys, for example, advertises their fries are prepared in peanut oil.
In New Zealand in 1995 some branches of the local fast food chain Georgie Pie took to calling their French fries "Kiwi Fries", in opposition to the French resumption of nuclear testing in the South Pacific.
In early 2003 some members of the U.S. congress proposed calling French fries Freedom Fries in response to France's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq. By 2006 the menu at the House restaurant had reverted to calling them French fries.
In June 2004, the United States Department of Agriculture, with the advisement of a federal district judge from Beaumont, Texas, classified batter-coated French fries as a vegetable under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act. Although this move was mostly for trade reasons (French fries do not meet the standard to be listed as a "processed food"), this received significant media attention partially due to the documentary Super Size Me.

Icelandair has been forced to cancel 26 flights after pilots began a 12h strike today.
The carrier says it decided to cancel the flights despite talks continuing with union FIA, members of which began action this morning. It says 4,500 passengers have been affected.
Routes cancelled include services from Keflavík to Paris, London, Frankfurt, Oslo and Stockholm. The Reykjavik-based airline says services to Oslo and Copenhagen and to the USA are also subject to delay delays.
Further strike action can be expected on 16 and 20 May, with further 12h stoppages. This will be intensified with a 48h strike from 23 May and a 96h stoppage from 30 May unless a collective agreement between pilots and the airline is signed.

Seminar to Focus on Arrhythmias and Heart Failure
Coronary heart disease is
According to the American Heart Association, approximately 1.2 million Americans suffer a heart attack each year. That compares to 2.2 million Americans with atrial fibrillation only one form of heart rhythm problems known as arrhythmias. And approximately five million Americans have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, with 550,000 new cases diagnosed each year.
To help you gain a better understanding of the symptoms and treatment of both congestive heart failure and heart arrhythmias,
"All of us have irregular heartbeats on occasion, and that tends to increase as we age," says Dr. Reddy. "Persistent arrhythmias, though, can cause the heart to work less effectively and indicate a serious medical problem."
Abnormal heartbeat rhythms can cause the heart to beat too rapidly (tachycardia), too slowly (bradycardia) or erratically.
"The abnormal rhythms can be caused by faulty electrical impulses that could be related to factors such as damage to the heart or electrolyte irregularities from kidney malfunction," Dr. Reddy explains. "When arrhythmias result in bradychardia, the heart may not pump enough blood to the body, resulting in fatigue, dizzy spells, lightheadedness and fainting spells. Symptoms of tachycardia can include heart palpitations, shortness of breath and chest pain, as well as dizziness, lightheadedness and fainting."
Diagnosing arrhythmias begins with blood tests to evaluate factors such as electrolyte levels and thyroid function, in conjunction with an electrocardiogram (EKG) to record the timing of heartbeats.
"When an EKG indicates irregular heartbeats, we may have the patient wear a Holter monitor for 24 hours to gauge the pattern and frequency of any arrhythmias," Dr. Reddy says. "Other diagnostic tools include a cardio event monitor that can be worn for a month, an echocardiogram which is a sonogram of the heart and a treadmill stress test. Sometimes those tests can't pinpoint the problem, so we would do an electrophysiology study using a catheter."
Treatment for arrhythmias varies widely, depending on the cause and severity of the problem. "Most irregular heart rhythms are benign and don't require any treatment other than making lifestyle changes such as avoiding caffeine, eating a heart-healthy diet and exercising," Dr. Reddy notes.
"For more serious cases of slow heart rates, we can implant an electronic pacemaker under the skin to speed up the heart rhythm," he adds. "In cases of a rapid heartbeat, we would start with medications such as beta blockers and calcium channel blockers. If those medications don't control the problem, we use alternative treatments such as an implantable defibrillator that delivers electrical shocks to control the heartbeat, or radiofrequency ablation, which uses a catheter to deliver radiofrequency energy that stops the extra electrical impulses causing the rapid heartbeats."
Congestive Heart Failure
With congestive heart failure, the heart can't pump enough blood to the body's other organs. Although the "failing" heart keeps working, it does not work as efficiently as it should.
"Congestive heart failure is defined as being unable to meet the body's demand for oxygen both during exercise and at rest," says Dr. Carlson. "At first, people with congestive heart failure experience shortness of breath when they are exercising, progressing to shortness of breath while at rest and then to problems breathing at night when they are lying down. Other common symptoms of congestive heart failure include fatigue, heart palpitations, weight gain and swelling of the feet and ankles."
Dr. Carlson notes that congestive heart failure is on the rise in the
Diagnosing congestive heart failure entails taking a complete patient history and conducting a thorough physical exam.
"Just by listening to the patient's heart and lungs with a stethoscope, we can detect abnormal heart sounds and the sound of fluid in the lungs," Dr. Carlson explains. "We also would conduct blood tests for various proteins that indicate heart failure. A chest X-ray could reveal an enlarged heart, a sign that the heart muscle had to grow in order to pump enough blood. An EKG can also help determine if the heart is enlarged or if the patient has any arrhythmias or has suffered a previous heart attack. Other tests might include an echocardiogram, stress testing, angiogram, nuclear imaging or MRI."
People who are diagnosed with congestive heart failure are advised to follow a heart-healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking and alcohol, eating a healthy diet, losing weight if they are overweight, exercising in moderation and getting plenty of rest. Various medications also can help control the condition, including:
- Diuretics to help reduce water and salt retention.
- ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors and vasodilators to expand blood vessels.
- Hormone-altering drugs such as beta blockers to improve how well the heart pumps.
- Digitalis to increase the pumping action of the heart.
"Other treatments for congestive heart failure can include treatments for high blood pressure, surgical repair or replacement of faulty valves and angioplasty to clear blocked arteries," Dr. Carlson says. "If the heart is so damaged that it can't be repaired, however, the only remaining option would be a heart transplant."
If you suspect you have either heart arrhythmias or congestive heart failure, consult your regular physician or call

Veterans Affairs to protect data on laptops

Veterans Affairs faulted in data theftJuly 12, 2006
Veterans' data swiped in theftMay 22, 2006
In the next week, the agency plans to begin installing data encryption software on its laptop and desktop machines, VA Secretary R. James Nicholson said Monday. Data on portable media such as flash drives and CDs will also be protected.
"A system-wide encryption program will be a tremendous step forward in improving the safety and security of sensitive veteran information," Nicholson said in a statement.
The planned upgrade is the agency's latest effort to step up vigilance over its computer systems, after the high-profile theft of a laptop and an external hard drive that housed sensitive information on more than 26 million veterans and active military personnel. The equipment was stolen from the Maryland home of a Veterans Affairs Department employee in early May and was ultimately recovered in June
Police arrested two teenagers in connection with the incident last week. Days later, the agency said it was investigating reports of a new theft--this time of a desktop machine from the Reston, Va., offices of Unisys, a subcontractor hired to assist with insurance collections for Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers in Pennsylvania. The agency estimated that the computer contained information on about 38,000 veterans--2,000 of whom were deceased.
The Department of Veterans Affairs' laptop computers will be the first to receive the new encryption software. They will be given products made by GuardianEdge and Trust Digital, which market themselves as mobile security specialists. The agency said it awarded a $3.7 million contract last week to SMS, a Syracuse, N.Y.-based company owned by a "service-disabled" veteran, to carry out the upgrade.
Final testing of the products is currently under way, and installation is set to begin on Aug. 18. The agency hopes to have 100 percent of its laptops covered within four weeks of that date, with desktop machines to follow.

- Implementing security... no seriously?
- This seems almost surreal - how many incidents of laptop theft did it take for government agencies to start implementing security measures? The number of individuals affected by laptop theft and other data breaches is well into the millions (http://www.techknowbizzle.com/2006/06/20788366461-brief-history-of-data.html).
Lesson learned: use common sense (don't leave your laptop in a vehicle!), use physical deterrents (locks, cables?) and employ software that actually protects sensitive data within (such as Remote Laptop Security http://www.essentialsecurity.com/Documents/article18.htm).

marijuana legalization blog #3
In this article, the author argues that marijuana illegalization is destroying our country and the financial standpoint that we have been recently facing. I know that this is a "hot-and-heavy" issue right now, due to so many states contemplating the idea of legalizing marijuana, so I thought that this article might be interesting to discuss. I personally don't have a strong opinion on the matter for either side because I see an angle of both sides. For one, marijuana is putting a lot of unnecessary "criminals" into our jails and prisons for what... smoking a joint? Putting these people in our jails is taking up much needed space that is necessary for those who are actually causing physical and mental harm in our communities, people who actually ARE criminals. According to the article, "non-violent arrests [are] occurring every 36 seconds." Now on the other hand, marijuana is a drug and does cause some bodily harm to those who choose to use it. This could in the future raise health costs in our society as well as cause our jurisdiction system a lot of difficulty if the drug use gets out of hand. I've heard so many different opinions on the topic that I'm not sure what mine actually is, but what I do know is that medicinal marijuana is a great help for those who are in dying need of some pain relief due to certain cancers or diseases. This article also compares the restriction of marijuana to prohibition of alcohol that occurred in the 1930's. I could absolutely see this result comparing to prohibition and the outcome of the situation may be similar in debate.

Typically, the Westminster Coalition is using a financial mechanism to achieve a social change – smaller households move to smaller properties if they can't afford the one they're in. But these smaller properties do not exist – or not in the numbers that would be needed.
For years, councils and housing associations have provided two-bedroom homes and larger. This recognises that households are not static units – people's housing needs change as they form partnerships, have children, break up. Bigger homes (and two bedrooms is hardly a luxurious provision) allow for some of that to happen without people having to move house.
There may be some smaller units in the private sector – but that will drive the housing benefit bill higher, as rents there are almost double those in the social sector.
The bedroom tax, as you correctly point out, is a misnomer – it's a change in the benefit entitlement. But whatever we call it, it is causing uncertainty, anxiety and worse amongst those who face a cruel 14% cut from April 1.
Alastair Cameron,
Chief executive,
Scottish Churches Housing Action,
44 Hanover Street,
I'LL be happy to vote Yes in the coming independence referendum, as a result of the grossly iniquitous economic saving justly called the bedroom tax which has been foisted upon us.
The Coalition Government says we are a rich country yet, in Britain, it is willing to dislodge folk from their homes on the grounds of having one extra room. That room is frequently used for carers, family members visiting (often those who have had to relocate to earn a living), helping out in the family or utilised when illness strikes.
As for the suggestion posited by some political representatives that the room could be let if there was no alternative housing option, council tenants may not sub-let, or has no-one told them?

Full text not available from this repository.
The tensile strength of model materials (dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, microcrystalline cellulose and pregelatinised starch) compacted to form tablets in the form of beams consisting of two layers of equal thickness has been determined by three-point loading. The values of the tensile strength of the materials were sometimes higher and sometimes lower than the tensile strength of beams of the same thickness composed of a single material. Correction of the values for the tensile strength of the layered beams for the differences in the elasticity of the materials in the layered tablets failed to correct for these differences, as did considering the layered beams as beams of half thickness. For a layered tablet with pregelatinised starch at the bottom and microcrystalline cellulose at the top, the value of the tensile strength recorded appeared to be that of the microcrystalline cellulose as the fracture propagated across the boundary between the layers and into microcrystalline cellulose. What appeared to be the important factor was the way the failure of the beam crossed the interface between the two layers. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
