I don't know if this has been covered recently, but I just upgrade my wife's BJII to 6.1 and when I was messing around with it I came across some CAB files for installation. I copied her MUSICID CAB to my Samsung i760, installed it, and it works great. Anybody who is interested can have it. Please PM me.

Party of Five on the top issues
Welcome to another edition of Page 2's Party of Five, where five writers tackle five questions that the world needs answered right now.
(Or later, depending on how much time you have to kill.)
Today, we cover in-stadium sports betting, Jose Canseco-as-baseball-zombie, Kobe Bryant's failure to realize that YouTube works across the Pacific Ocean, the end of Manny's long infertility nightmare and the political prospects of the man with the largest number of embarrassing video clips to consider running for public office since Donald Trump:
1. Retired track star Carl Lewis reportedly is going to run for the New Jersey state Senate. Suggested campaign slogans?
Patrick Hruby: Partisan Gridlock: Together, We Can Break It Up!
Mike Philbrick: Don't fall for orange imitations. Vote Lewis, the Original Situation.
DJ Gallo: Lewis already has one. But he might want to use a different picture.
Hruby: That makes John Kerry at NASA look downright statesmanlike.
Thomas Neumann: I'm all for anything that keeps him out of the recording studio. Plus, let's face it, he could end any filibuster with a mere threat to belt out "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Jim Caple: Elect Me So I Can Throw Out The First Pitch At A Game!
Gallo: I expect Ben Johnson to win the vote for Prime Minister of Canada by a 2-to-1 margin. But then we'll find out a few weeks later that he was guilty of voter fraud.
Caple: At which point Canadians will say he wasn't eligible because he's actually Jamaican.
2. In five years, Manny Ramirez will be: __________
Hruby: Declining -- on the advice of counsel -- to discuss with Congress why he shared a personal trainer with Carrot Top.
Neumann: Teaming up with Enrique Wilson against Jose and Ozzie Canseco in a tag-team doomsday cage match at a Bahamian casino.
Philbrick: Penniless, clueless and sharing a two-bedroom condo with Mike Tyson in Bolivia.
Caple: Cutting his Hall of Fame induction speech short to go to the bathroom behind the other HOF's on stage at Cooperstown.
Hruby: There's a bathroom back there?
Caple: I have no idea.
Gallo: God willing, with the power of modern medicine, the proud mother of a 4-year-old.
3. Kobe Bryant's appearance in a music video with Taiwanese pop singer Jay Chou proves that: __________
Gallo: The modern world economy is challenging America in everything from automobile manufacturing to the production of terrible music.
Hruby: Between shooting lightning out of his hands and slam dunking a basketball while riding a skateboard -- totally X-treme! -- Mr. Chou is not only a fan of Bryant, but also of Emperor Palpatine and Poochie.
Neumann: Please excuse me while I die laughing.
Hruby: Those who do not learn the lessons of "K.O.B.E." are doomed to repeat them. Philbrick, you also live for basketball, beats and broads, right?
Philbrick: Hell to the yes! I've been trying to get you guys to call me B-Cubed for years. I'm guessing he thought it was just one of those "I really need the money" Japanese commercials that no one would ever see in the States.
Caple: That's a good video.
Hruby: A good video? Are the N*SYNC posters in your bedroom autographed, framed or both?
Caple: I was mostly referring to Kobe not attempting to sing a single note.
Hruby: Point taken and conceded.
4. Jose Canseco reportedly will serve as a player-manager for a minor league baseball team in Yuma, Ariz. What's the best -- and/or worst -- case scenario?
Hruby: Best-case scenario: Canseco gathers enough real-life material for another book. Worst-case scenario: Canseco gathers enough real-life material for another book.
Neumann: Hmmm. Canseco played and managed last year in Laredo. Now he's headed to Yuma. Wonder why he always seems to be working along the border?
Hruby: Finish the danged fence!
Gallo: I'm interested to see how much of his managerial philosophy he took from Tony La Russa. For example, will he micromanage the bullpen? Will he bat the pitcher eighth? Will he somehow not notice any of his star players taking massive amounts of steroids?
Hruby: By "star players," you mean "himself," right? Or are you talking about Ozzie?
Philbrick: There is no worst-case scenario. Although it would be great to find out that
Ozzie Jose is being paid in light fixtures.
Caple: Best-case scenario: ESPN.com sends me to Maui to do a story on Jose when his team goes there on a one-week road trip. Worst-case scenario: ESPN.com sends me to do a story on Jose when his team has a two-week home stand in Yuma in July.
Hruby: Hey, I grew up in Arizona. It's a dry heat.
5. A Chicago fan claimed he made a $5 in-game bet with Blackhawks goalie Marty Turco. What kind of in-game bet would you like to make with a pro athlete?
Caple: I would bet Charlie Sheen $1,000 that the 1919 White Sox would lose the World Series even if they had a winner with tiger blood playing center field.
Hruby: I'd like to bet Tiger Woods $50 he can go nine holes without cursing; Alex Rodriguez $100 that he won't be heckled; Drew Gooden and JaVale McGee $500 that they can record triple-doubles in an NBA game that actually matters; and Matt Cooke $1 million that he won't hit someone in the head just because. Of course, I'm less a gambler than someone who likes sure things and easy money.
Philbrick: I'd like to bet Rocky Balboa $1,000,000 that he can't look me in the eye and tell me that Adrian is hot. I'd like to bet Roy Hobbs $100 that he was on HGH. Finally, I'd also like to bet Judge Smails a thousand bucks that he misses that putt. Sorry, real athletes are boring.
Neumann: I tend to think college sports are more lucrative -- especially if you're wagering against the University of San Diego or UC Riverside.
Gallo: Wait. People are betting on University of San Diego and UC Riverside games? Instead of betting $5, can I instead donate the money to a gambling addiction treatment center -- preferably one that specializes in helping people who gamble on WCC and Big West Conference basketball?

Today, Nebraska's Senator Ben Nelson said that he is pleased to see Nebraska families, consumers, and businesses continuing to receive benefits of the Affordable Care Act, most recently in the form of rebate checks – resulting from health insurance companies allocating excessive amounts of funds towards salaries, advertising, and operations, rather than direct medical care.
"There is good news from the health reform law, because it is requiring insurers to rebate $4.8 million to tens of thousands of Nebraskans," said Senator Nelson. "These rebates aren't pennies from heaven. Insurers owe us this money. If too many of your premium dollars were put towards salaries and advertising instead of towards your health care, the Affordable Care Act requires your insurer to pay you back."
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), passed by Congress, signed into law by the president, and recently upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court, contains a requirement called the medical-loss ratio (MLR), informally known as the "80/20 rule." The rule mandates that in individual and small group health insurance markets, at least 80% of premium dollars must go into health care benefits and care improvement efforts, leaving the remainder for commissions, advertising, salaries, and general administrative expenses.
Health insurers who have not spent enough on direct health care benefits are now required by law to send rebates to their consumers by August 1 of each year.
"The 80/20 rule behind these rebates is a basic consumer protection that will provide much-needed transparency and accountability to insurers," Nelson said. "It guarantees that Nebraska customers get more value from their premium dollars, as well as better benefits."
In 2012 alone, insurance companies failing to meet the 80/20 rule will provide nearly 12.8 million Americans with more than $1.1 billion in rebates.
The impact of the rebates was felt strongly in Nebraska, with 46,444 total Nebraska consumers receiving the following:
$4,832,049 in Total Rebates in All Markets for Consumers and Families
$3,704,559 in Individual Market Rebates
$215 in Average Rebates per Nebraska Family
$267 in Average Rebates per Nebraska Family in the Individual Market
$131 in Average Rebates per Nebraska Family in the Small Group Market
Nebraska customers will receive these rebates in a number of ways. Many will receive a physical rebate check in the mail, while some will get lump-sum reimbursements in their accounts used to pay premiums, and others will see the value of the rebate subtracted from future premiums.
Nelson highlighted letters that he has received from throughout Nebraska, voicing appreciation for the Affordable Care Act, and particularly the rebates stemming from the Medical Loss Ratio.
"Many Nebraskans have let me know how much they appreciate these rebates and the health reform law," said Nelson. "Letters I've received note how the Medical Loss Ratio is already starting to bring down insurance costs. Quite a few people across the state like how they now get their money back if it doesn't go towards their health care.
Page 2 of 2 - "The new requirement on insurers to deliver better healthcare or rebates is one of the hidden benefits of the health reform law that people are now seeing as new features of the law go into effect," said Nelson.

Invasive Plant Species in New England
Lo and behold, she was right.
When Dave Jacke has a strong opinion on something, which is often, he speaks loudly–yells, really–then leans forward from the waist and punctuates his point with this exclamation: "WHAT THE HELL?" As in: "People say 'native' and 'non-native' as if they were scientifically valid terms. But no quote-unquote 'native map' has no date on it." He leaned forward: "WHAT THE HELL?"
And: "If we're going to start calling these plants 'invaders,' and not take ownership for our own human behavior …" He leaned forward: "WHAT THE HELL?"
Finally: "Black locust is illegal to plant here, yet we're importing pressure-treated lumber from the Southeast and polluting our soils." He leaned forward: "WHAT THE HELL?"
I'd found Jacke through my friend Ben Falk, who runs a permaculture design school called Whole Systems Design in Vermont's Mad River Valley. Permaculture has a complex and somewhat malleable definition, but at its essence is based on the interconnectedness of natural and human ecosystems; it seeks to foster a philosophy of working in accordance with nature, rather than attempting to control nature for humancentric purposes. Falk encouraged me to speak with Jacke in part because of his knowledge of the region's plant species, in part because he's the co-author of two books on the subject of permaculture, and in part, I suspect, because he knew that Jacke's stance on invasive species would be well articulated, well researched, and passionate in the extreme.
All of which was true. Within minutes of meeting Jacke at the door of his second-floor apartment in Greenfield, Massachusetts, he was challenging the very foundation on which the basis of our battle against invasive species is waged: that there is any scientific basis for our determination regarding what is native to the region.
To make his point, Jacke pulled up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's pollen viewer, an interactive online map that lets the user select a species, then a time frame. Click on "enter," and you can watch species drift across hundreds and thousands of years, carried by unidentified vectors.
"Check this out," he said, as he typed in Castanea dentata, the Latin name for the American chestnut, a tree species that has largely been lost from New England owing to blight. It's a loss that has been much bemoaned, and restoration efforts are ongoing. Castanea dentata, it should be said, is considered native to the Northeast.
Except that it's not, really. At least not according to NOAA, which has the species first appearing in New England about 3,000 years ago, on a march northward from its origins in the Deep South via the mid-Atlantic region. Now, 3,000 years is a very long time, and Jacke's not claiming any differently. Rather, he's making what seems to me a quite valid point: Without an agreed-upon definition of "native," how are we to determine which species meet that definition and which don't? Furthermore, our forest ecology isn't static, and many species that we now consider "native" were, in fact, once invasive.
Except in Jacke's view, the word "invasive" isn't right, either, because it ascribes human intent to species that are simply trying to do what plants do best: survive and propagate. "Where do human values come into the equation?" he asked. "The word 'invasive' has values implied. Besides, if we're going to start calling all these plants 'invaders' and not take ownership for our own behavior …" He leaned forward, and I knew what was coming next.
Dave Jacke is no lone wolf in his opposition to the current framing of the non-native-species issue as one demanding urgent battle to thwart an aggressive enemy. Indeed, the more I poked around, the more people I found who hold the view that our ecosystems are in a constant state of flux. Part and parcel of this view seems to be an understanding of humanity's role in the spread of non-native species, both in regard to the actual act of disseminating the plants via horticulture and in humans' impact on the land, which tends to create soil disturbance and therefore opportunities for non-native flora to prosper.
To better understand this view, I called Mark Davis, professor of biology at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and author of the book Invasion Biology, which, despite its title, is decidedly skeptical of the field as a whole. Davis is nationally known for his rebuke of the dominant us-versus-them view of invasive species. It's a position that has at times been uncomfortable to maintain; Davis has actually received hate mail, deploring him for his contrarian position.
Like Jacke, Davis believes that our definition of "native" is flawed, and is therefore leading us down the wrong path in response to non-native species. "On some level, it's about baselines, about what we're used to," he said. "Look, the New Hampshire state flower is non-native. And so is Vermont's state insect." (After our conversation, I fact-checked this assertion, and he's right. The New Hampshire state flower, the purple lilac, was imported from England during the first half of the 1700s. And Vermont's state insect, the European honeybee, was introduced to North America in the 1600s.)
Furthermore, Davis contends, the typical response to non-native species–spraying them with herbicides–only compounds the problem: "We're doing more harm by spraying all these chemicals, which disrupt healthy soil biology and probably just make it more susceptible to opportunistic plant species." Interestingly, this was something that Markus had noticed: In some of the areas he'd sprayed to eradicate one non-native species, another had popped up.
Both Davis and Jacke are very clear that they're not calling for an entirely hands-off approach to invasive plant species–only that our efforts should be carefully considered and dependent on regional and even site-specific goals. "There are introduced species that are doing real harm," Davis noted. "We shouldn't get sidetracked by species that [represent] really just change and not harm." He sighed. "Look, trying to re-create the forests of the past is simply not possible."

So, you thought Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) was the new Sarah Palin? Think again. With his reliance on a simplistic world view and skin so thin you could probably see his internal organs, Donald Trump is the new Palin. And like his fellow reality-TV star, he is using this new burst of fame to further an agenda. For Palin, it was and continues to be about making money. For The Donald, whose net worth is "many, many, many times Mitt Romney," the ultimate goal remains unclear because he won't get anywhere near the Oval Office.
Dan Balz had a terrific piece on what is basically the Trump Doctrine. You name the crisis and the answer for Trump is "so easy." Taking Libya's oil, telling the OPEC ministers that "your fun is over," and threatening the Chinese with a 25 percent import tariff if they don't stop manipulating their currency might make folks in the cheap seats of the Trump spectacle feel good, but it's terrible foreign policy. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Wire highlights Trump's fondness for calling out his media critics with a Sharpie. Gail Collins of the New York Times has written about the time Trump went postal on her years ago after calling him a "financially embattled thousandaire." And folks outside the media have gotten slammed. Jerry Seinfeld showed backbone and principle last week when he pulled out of a September charity event hosted by Trump's son because of his father's birther craziness. After piling on the insults, Trump told Seinfeld, "You should be ashamed of yourself!"
No, Trump should be ashamed of himself. He's playing the Republican Party for chumps. They'll realize this sooner or later. Right? The heightened scrutiny on Trump will help hasten that moment and relegate him to the same status as Palin: sideshow rather than main event.

Broken Elbow (cont.)
When to Seek Medical Care for a Broken Elbow
An elbow fracture carries the risk of potentially serious and disabling complications. If a person thinks the elbow may be fractured, seek medical attention at a hospital's emergency department immediately.
If a person has only mild swelling, and no bruising, open wounds, or loss of feeling; they may consider calling a doctor prior to seeking emergency medical attention.
If an elbow shows any of the following problems after an injury to the arm, go to an emergency department if:

Baked Chips as Bad or Worse Than FriedHealthy Living
Most consumers associate the word "baked" with "healthy".
This would certainly be true in home cooking. A baked potato, for example, would be a more nourishing choice than a fried potato given that starch subjected to high heat cooking forms acrylamide, a potent carcinogen. Acrylamide forms even if a healthy cooking oil suitable for high heat cooking is used, like ghee, coconut oil or tallow.
What about processed foods like baked chips? Does the same truism that baked is healthier than fried hold up or is it just marketing bling?
Let's take a look at the labels for a popular brand of baked and fried potato chips.
The ingredients for the fried chips are very simple: potatoes, oil, and salt. The oils used are very unhealthy as you can't fry in sunflower, corn, or canola oil without completely denaturing them. The fact that the oils aren't hydrogenated means nothing as the oils are still highly toxic from being cooked at high temperatures. In addition, frying the potatoes would ensure exposure to the carcinogen acrylamide.
Are the fried chips healthy? Of course not.
Now let's look at the ingredients label for the baked chips. The potatoes used are dried so they aren't even fresh potatoes! No information on how the potatoes were dried is provided. If the potatoes were dried using a very high heat, which is likely, then acrylamide would be formed just like with the fried chips as the lower temperature baking occurs after the drying process!
Tricky, tricky, eh?
In addition, corn starch, corn oil, and soy lecithin are used and since they are not organic, there is a high likelihood that these ingredients are from genetically modified (GMO) sources.
Given that GMO corn is linked to liver and kidney damage in rats, these are not the innocuous ingredients food manufacturers would have you believe.
In addition, sugar and corn sugar (aka, high fructose corn syrup) are stealthily included which means that while you are getting less of the unhealthy vegetable oils in the baked chips, you are getting in return ingredients that are perhaps just as bad!
Two US studies in 2009 found almost half the tested samples of commercial high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) to be contaminated with mercury. Even if not contaminated with mercury, many scientists note that HFCS can dramatically increase the risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and liver damage.
So it would seem that the baked chips are no better than the fried chips after all!
Buying the baked chips is basically robbing Peter to pay Paul by swapping one set of toxins for another. In fact, the baked chips may actually be the more unhealthy choice in the final analysis as the baked chips are more highly processed than the fried chips and contain more genetically modified ingredients and likely a bit of neurotoxic mercury to boot.
Some well known restaurant chains like to make a big deal out of the fact that they offer baked chips, but now you know that this choice is no better and likely even worse than the fried chips alternative.
So when the cashier asks you if you'd like to add a bag of "healthy" baked chips to your Subway order, you can politely just say, "No thanks!". Better yet, don't even eat at Subway and pack yourself a decent lunch instead!

hey, im a high school student doing a research project about this. it would be helpful if you could possibly give me some links.
You make a lot of silly assumption that herd-minded people will eagerly agree with. I know of no one who views baked chips as "healthy." Instead, most people want something that is less calorie dense. Also, there is a taste factor, some people prefer the taste and texture of baked chips. So stop making your oh-so-cool assumptions; we all know you are too cool to "fall" for anything, so just end your nonsense there.
Here are some scientific abstracts and journals showing no link between dietary consumption of acrylamide and various types of cancer. A simple search of the internet can provide a few more articles in regards to various other cancer types. The cancer caused in rats doesn't appear to have the same effect on consumption in humans. Here are actual facts to back it up. The Dave has a very valid point on Sarah's beliefs (not facts) of acrylamide. Definitely a big difference between showing vague links between something and providing factual links between two things. Thank you for highlighting concerns about acrylamide but please provide facts (in the article you are typing, not just links) when trying to convince me to change my life.
"During a mean follow-up of 17.4 years, a total of 2,952 incident cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in the cohort. In multivariate analyses controlling for breast cancer risk factors, no statistically significant association was observed between long-term acrylamide intake (assessed at baseline and in 1997) and the risk of breast cancer, overall or by estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status."
"Compared with the lowest quartile of acrylamide intake (<29.6μg/d), the multivariate rate ratios for the highest quartile (41.7μg/d) were 0.95 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74—1.20) for colorectal cancer, 0.97 (95% CI 0.71—1.31) for colon cancer and 0.91 (95% CI 0.62—1.34) for rectal cancer. In conclusion, this study provides no evidence that dietary acrylamide in amounts typically consumed by Swedish men is associated with risk of colorectal cancer."
Dorsey Clark
I know that we should limit our fried food intake and on the whole potato chips are really not a good thing. However, I confess they are my nemesis and I do break down and eat a few on occasion. The good news for me is that I think I have found a decent chip for these times. They are Jackson's Honest Chips and they are made from organic potatoes, organic cold pressed coconut oil and sea salt. I wanted to share in case there is someone else out there who has my weakness.
I can only agree with the point about the hidden unhealthy elements behind the "healthy" marketing of bake chips, but Sarah, you are lacking the evidence to back up your claim that baked chips are as bad as or worse than fried chips. You make assumptions from a few studies, instead of presenting information from many studies to verify the results. For example, just because some samples of high-fructose corn syrup in 2009 was discovered to contain mercury does not mean that baked chips contain "likely a bit of neurotoxic mercury to boot". You have also failed to provide proper references for your sources. The Dave has the right mentality as someone who is seeking the truth.
Pete, thehealthyhomeskeptic
i stubbled upon this site whilst searching how to fry chips, and thought the title sounded a bit iconoclastic and was intrigued, especially as I come from a medical background. In reading the article, i was irked subtly irked by the speculative tone of the writing and the unsubstantiated premises that were asserted. I'm not usually one to enter into the internet comment board fray, but thought it prudent.
I feel 'the dave' brings a balanced view to the table, and thought followers of the blog may be quick to come to its defence; i do not believe that he has made any transgressions of decency but is frustratingly trying to convey his sincere view, and as i read his post he raised the very issues that were on my mind. In general, i feel that my views are quite moderate, and i find extremist views alienating. I think people may feel that his views are personally directed and instinctively adopt a defensive position. But if you took a second, on some level i think you would recognise that he is simply maintaining a reasoned position to not blindly sip from the kool-aid.
Now of course, it's best to snack on foods that actually have some nutrition like fruit, and neither baked or traditional potato chips have much. But let's face it, we're all only human, and hate to sacrifice favorite foods, so when you're going to have potato chips anyway, save some fat.
so, in day to day cooking of potatoes just cook everything on a low heat and all should be well(relatively)?
It's not unreasonable for "The Dave" to be asking for more facts. Trouble is nobody is doing the research to answer all his questions, such as: how much acrylamide is too much for the body to detoxify? Suppose we ate a diet high in glutathione (a major antioxidant) from raw milk whey; glucoronic acid (used by the liver to detoxify) from kombucha; beneficial microbes from fermented cabbage; vit. A & D from fermented cod liver oil. Would our bodies have the nourishment to handle the occasional toxin from pleasure foods? The French eat pommes frites which surely must have acylamide; the Japanese eat tempura. Those populations are known for longevity and health. I think it is safe to say that foods fried in the nouveau vegetable oils – not known to our prehistoric ancestors – should be avoided. Our bodies have not had enough time to adapt to those species of foods.
Hang on–it's legal to call high fructose corn syrup "corn sugar" on labels? Seriously?
I had no idea that baked chips contained that many ingredients. Nor did I realize they were reconstituted from who-knows-what processed potato powder.
Is this unhealthy baked chip thing confined to brands like Lay's, or does this kind of unhealthy ingredient loading go on with the majority of "baked" chips?
Thanks for writing this article–really good to know this…
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Yes, it's legit. Haven't you seen the commercials about it on TV? Absolutely crazy. If something isn't working marketing-wise, Big Food just changes it around to fool the consumer.

So frying bananas in coconut oil would also produce this acrylamide?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
If the bananas are breaded, then yes.
If it's made in a factory, it's bad. Plain and simple.
So true!
Bake organic corn tortillas in the toaster oven for about 10 minutes without oil. They come out delicious and crispy. Or bake potato slices with a bit of coconut oil on them. Yum.

Baked Chips as Bad or Worse Than Fried – The Healthy Home Economist http://t.co/o6eDr5kS #realfood
Hi Sarah – I have a quick question if you have time. On Dr. Mercola's website not too long ago I read some frustrating info. It had to do with the baking process of potatoes and that is actually produces something called Acrylamide; cancer causing of course. I make my french fries with coconut oil and I either pan fry them or bake them; I know you recommend tallow and hopefully will get my hands on some soon. I'm not terribly concerned or worried, mostly curious. I do know that cooking food (potatoes specifically) changes its molecular structure and makes the starch much more digestible. The rest though, I think it out of my league! (here is the link to the Mercola post if you would like http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/11/07/the-shocking-true-story-of-how-pringles-are-made.aspx) Thanks again, love the site and all the knowledge you impart
Sorry! I cannot delete my comment. I looked back up and this has been discussed and answered! hahah, my fault for jumping the gun instead of reading.
I know I don't sound smart when I ask the question: are we talking about all starchy veggies? Can I deep fry sweet potatoes w/o issue? Or other veggies like summer squash? Thanks!

Baked Chips as Bad or Worse Than Fried – The Healthy Home Economist http://t.co/E8AVEHBq
Would cubing potatoes and cooking them on a medium heat in lard and/or butter on the stove be as probematic as frying, do you think? My kids LOVE our farmer's market potatoes cooked this way. What do you think?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Sure that's fine Bonny. I would do this on as low a temperature as you can and don't make it a daily thing
Hi Sarah! I can't avoid eating potato chips especially when I'm watching TV or movies. And like many others, I used to think that baked potato chips are better than fried chips. Instead, I'm wrong. Thank you for the information. I will no longer eat factory done potato chips.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Febe, I can relate. Potato chips are so incredibly addictive. Best to not buy them and don't have them in your house.
Chrystal (@HappyMothering) (@HappyMothering)
Baked Chips as Bad or Worse Than Fried – The Healthy Home Economist http://t.co/DEaom8A0
Back in the day when I used to buy potato chips, I would buy baked chips/tostitos and pat myself on the back for picking the healthier option before proceeding to polish off the bag. ha… thank gosh those days of denial and ignorance are over! Great read! Thanks for the post!
Regarding "The Dave",
Sounds like he works for the industry. I don't know which one, GMO growers of America? lol Definitely not a scientist, unless he's a paid scientist on Monsanto's payroll. There really are people who are paid to troll the internet looking for information that may wake others up to what is really going on. It is their job to write this type of non-science based response and try to make it sound like they are being objective. Fail. I wonder how much GMO corn or soy "the dave" would feed to his children? Or maybe he could find a nice bpa lined can of acrylamide potato flavored soy chips cooked in gmo corn oil and flavored with "natural" corn SUGAR". Have a nice dinner "the dave". 😉
Love your blog Sarah, been here a while but I don't usually post. Couldn't resist this time.
btw try not to be to hard on CS. He was talking about things that the same type of people as "The Dave" didn't like before he was ruined.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I was thinking the same thing Connie!
The Dave
"Sounds like he works for the industry. . . . Definitely not a scientist, unless he's a paid scientist on Monsanto's payroll. There really are people who are paid to troll the internet looking for information that may wake others up to what is really going on. It is their job to write this type of non-science based response and try to make it sound like they are being objective."
You mean, I could've been paid to write what I did? Missed the boat on that one. Seriously though, I think this is the first time I've asked someone for evidence of what they claimed and was called unscientific. Maybe I should just believe whatever anybody writes on a blog post.
"I wonder how much GMO corn or soy "the dave" would feed to his children?"
However much they can eat and doesn't have a significant effect on their life. However much that is, however, this blog post doesn't inform me about.
"Have a nice dinner "the dave"."
Instead of wishing me a nice dinner, how about giving me some facts to help make my dinner better? Or is that too unscientific?
I think we're being a little bit hard on someone who is just asking for facts to back up statements. I eat the way Sarah suggests, but I can sympathize with someone wanting actual facts, because if you know anything about research, you know that "link" does not at all mean "causation," which I think is what he was trying to point out, because that is a huge issue when conducting scientific studies. I'm a regular reader of this blog and enjoy most of the posts, and I follow a WAPF lifestyle, but there's certainly nothing wrong with someone expecting a bit of hard evidence every once in a while. For me, though, just eating this way and feeling how much better my body feels because of it and knowing how badly I feel when I eat processed foods is enough for me. But that doesn't mean that's the case with everybody!
Kelsey, you may have a point about being too hard on "The Dave". When you read his comment and the way that he implies that Sarah is just pushing a "conspiracy theory", well…that tips me off to motive. I am more than willing to listen to someone who really wants to know what is true; what gets my dander up is rudeness just because he doesn't have all the information that he needs to make an informed decision. When you want to know something, ASK POLITELY WHERE THE INFORMATION IS LOCATED. Don't jump to conclusions before you have that information. "The Dave" spoke in a condescending manner as well as making derogatory statements…not a good way to get informed. Nevertheless, thanks for reminding us to be polite also.
i think the biggest annoyance is if you're trying to be an informed consumer, (of ANY product including your food) you can't expect the facts to be laid out in front of you. you have to be like a detective, and you have to come to the final conclusions yourself. there are so many articles and scientific papers out there that completely contradict each other. how in the world are we to know exactly what is the "truth"? to be completely honest, you won't!
you just have to do the best you can at gathering as much information as possible and go with your gut. i know that sounds awful, but even after all the research i've done in the past 5 years reading book after book and paper after paper, talking to numerous practitioners in both health and nutrition, there comes the point where you must take everything that you've learned and make an educated decision on what you think is the best step/steps to take. common sense and intuition go hand in hand.
bottom line, this is a blog. not a scientific research community. Sarah speaks her mind, provides links to where she got her information and you take what you want out of it. do i religiously follow her every word because i deem her the goddess of nutrition? absolutely not. however i do find her blog a very valuable archive of useful information, and i apply her wisdom where i see fit.
"The Dave" i applaud you for speaking your mind as Sarah did, just realize you're not ever going to get those shiny, tangible facts that you can keep stored away in your pocket for a rainy day. in our current world of nutrition, everything keeps changing. do the best you can and try to eat as wholesome as possible. which means minus anything in a box! 😉
jason and lisa
i think my wife and i will change our family eating habits because dave doesnt have enough scientific data to let him know that potato chips are bad for you.. and something about rats fed GM corn having insomnia or something… yes.. that is the only possible solution..

Can you do a post like this about tortilla chips? I buy them occasionally, but knowing more would make me buy them less:)
yuck, formed potato chips. Gross. Health reasons aside, why would anyone want to eat a formed potato chip, baked or otherwise? It's akin to eating a formed chicken nugget – how disgusting!
Yum, chicken nuggets.
Thanks for the info Sarah! I had no idea! I thought that as long as what I was frying was a healthy food and the fat I was using was good, then we were ok! So much for my chips and guac I am craving! Does the same apply for meats cooked at a high temp, such as a roast?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
It's starches that form the carcinogen at high temps. Although charbroiling meat (the black stuff) is carcinogenic too. But that can be avoided when you cook …
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
You really do need to watch the chips even if fried in a good oil. They are so very addictive and the acrylamide issue is really not taken seriously enough, I feel.
If you juice, making crackers from the pulp is a fantastic way to satisly your craving for something crunchy WITHOUT carcinogens. Just mix about a cup of pulp with a few tablespoons of arrowroot powder, a pastured egg, a little salt, and a little milk. Spread it out nice and thin, then put it in a very low-temp oven for a few hours, just until it's crunchy (not hard). We do ours at about about 170 or lower on convection. These little crackers are great grain-free snacks, and wonderful vehicles for raw cheese and butter! 😀

None of these factory foods are worth eating. If what shows on the label is not bad enough, and it is, the Government allows them to leave many ingredients off the label entirely – like nanites and some flavor enhancers, and a host of chemicals that are used in small quantities, but were never part of the human food chain. And quite possibly some new horrors we have never heard of, as them keep inventing new artificial ingredients and adding them to processed foods.
Cook from scratch, with the most natural and unmodified ingredients you can find and afford. It does take time, but the more cooking you do, the easier and faster it gets.

Call me unconvinced. Granted, this is a blog, not a scientific paper, but a lot of was said without saying much of anything at all. For instance: if the potatoes were dried using a very high heat, which is likely, then acrylamide would be formed just like with the fried chips. "If" they're dried with high heat tells us nothing about what is actually going on. "High heat" tells us nothing about how high the temperature needs to be to form any determined amount of acrylamide. And no mention is given of how much acrylamide is okay to have as opposed to how much is not okay. Again: there is a high likelihood that these ingredients are from genetically modified (GMO) sources. "A high likelihood" again tells us nothing about where these ingredients came from and "genetically modified" likewise tells us nothing because it is possible for somehting to be genetically modified in a way that is not any less harmful than natural modifications. And again: Given that GMO corn is linked to liver and kidney damage in rats. How is it linked? Almost anything can be linked to something. The amount of sleep the rats got could be a link. We have been told nothing about what actually happens and what causes it. Perhaps, for all we know, the "link" is between extremely high doses of GMO relative to their normal intake and that rats who had small amounts equal to a regular person's consumption would have had no noticable increase in liver or kidney damage. And finally: In addition, sugar and corn sugar (aka, high fructose corn syrup) are stealthily included… Okay, I'll grant sugar on there. But corn syrup shows up last. How much was used as the last and final ingredient in order to make any difference? How much has to be used to make a difference? How do we know anything like that was used? We are given no information, again, on whether any supposed harmful ingredient is actually harmful or not. So in conclusion, I have to say that while I like that you are exposing what is or might be going into these foods, because of the lack of any facts, you've done little more than write a conspiracy piece.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Acrylamide would be formed regardless. The higher the heat, the more acrylamide is formed. There is little to no chance the potatoes would be low temp dried. We are talking about a processed food here. Factory = Fast = Hot.
You go right ahead and eat those baked chips though. Sounds like you need more than common sense to convince you.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Did you even go to the source studies, by the way? It's folks with this type of attitude that don't tend to get it until they are really sick and by then, it's many times too late because it's really difficult to make the necessary dietary/habit changes when you are really ill as you are then detoxing from all the years eating the garbage food on top of it all.
The Dave
Thanks for the reply, Sarah.
>> Sounds like you need more than common sense to convince you.<> Did you even go to the source studies, by the way?<<
If there was something significant in those sources, I assume you would have pointed it out. If you can't include any specific facts, then why should I go elsewhere? I'm not bashing you. Just constructive criticism. If you want to convince someone who doesn't already believe what you're saying, the best way to do it is to back it up. A little common sense for ya since that seems to be your modus operandi.
The Dave
Somehow, that didn't work. Let's try it again.
Thanks for the reply, Sarah.
"Sounds like you need more than common sense to convince you."
I'm not entirely certain wanting facts is the opposite of common sense. Can't common sense and facts work together?
"Did you even go to the source studies, by the way?"
I figured there was no point. I mean, if there was something significant to say, I assume you would have pointed it out. If you can't include any specific facts, then why should I go elsewhere? I'm not bashing you. Just constructive criticism. If you want to convince someone who doesn't already believe what you're saying, the best way to do it is to back it up. A little common sense for ya since that seems to be your modus operandi.

Okay, "The Dave", just wondering if you have done your research? It appears to me that you are quite opinionated and not well read on these issues. Am I understanding you correctly? It is okay to be poisoned in millimeters vs inches? Just a suggestion, but you might want to dig a little deeper past the propaganda that you have been indoctrinated into for probably most of your life. It takes a real leap of faith to step outside the box and just LOOK at another opinion or view that doesn't fit what you have been told. For me, that moment came when my Dad died from chemo complications. I am a major skeptic, but finally found the guts to find out for myself and NOT believe anything until I could verify that it is true. I also have 28 years as a medical professional; I have had first hand experience with mainstream medicine. I am not trying to be discourteous, but this blog is for those who are willing to look at things that most people don't or won't take time to see for themselves.

Wow. You guys are getting just as feisty as me! Me liketh!
Well SAID, watchmom, and I love the quote!
The Dave
"Okay, "The Dave", just wondering if you have done your research?"
I'm not the one who wrote the article.
"It appears to me that you are quite opinionated and not well read on these issues."
If opinionated means asking for evidence before believing something, sure.
"It is okay to be poisoned in millimeters vs inches?"
I go out every month or two and have a glass of poison called alcohol. I breathe a bit of poison every day in the air above my city. I'm not going to freak out about a glass of alcohol or having to breathe in my city.
"Just a suggestion, but you might want to dig a little deeper past the propaganda that you have been indoctrinated into for probably most of your life."
Let's take for a moment that I have been indoctrinated. I come to this blog post and read something that is, hopefully, here to help me out. And I write what I wrote above. What do you think the issue is? Maybe this post wasn't deep enough for someone who's indoctrinated. Nah. It couldn't be that. It must be my fault entirely. Fail on me for not knowing the facts that I wasn't given.
"this blog is for those who are willing to look at things that most people don't or won't take time to see for themselves"
Well, then maybe it's failing to do much more than speak to the crowd. Sorry. I'm also not being discourteous. Just saying how it is. If I'm ignorant after this reading this blog post, whose fault is that?

The Dave….Sounds like you are interested in learning more. This is a bit of a time commitment, but if you watch it, I guarantee that you will in the least, be better informed about the sugar/liver connection. Youtube: Sugar: The bitter Truth. It is a talk given by a physician at UCSF. Pass it on.
In health,
Sorry, but you are being discourteous. All you had to do was ask where that information is located. Sarah has always been so helpful to anyone who wants to read the data and find out for themselves. It just didn't seem like that was your motive. If you are ignorant after this, it is because you neither looked nor asked. Don't wait; find out for yourself. It is crucial. (Not the potato chips; all the info that has been withheld from the mainstream.)
Wow, somebody didn't eat their pastured eggs with butter this morning! Seriously, go drink a nice cup of mint tea, maybe with a little raw honey and coconut oil in it. It'll make you feel MUCH better, I promise! Or better yet, just actually eat those buttered eggs, make up for missing out this morning.
Donalie Sawtelle Graves via Facebook
Since these products cause diahrea in most people I would say something is wrong?
Adrienne @ Whole New Mom
Maybe you're confusing the baked chips w/ those that have the fake fat in them??
Stephanie Sanders via Facebook
What is considered high heat? I put potatoes in the oven with tallow and bake them to make fries. Would this still cause them to become carcinogenic?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
You're still going to get some acrylamide as acrylamide forms even when bread is baked. But it won't be nearly as much as when you fry them. This is a good reason to limit cooked starches – period. BUT, boiling potatoes does not form any acrylamides. So mashed potatoes (with lots of butter of course ) are a great alternative. Also, sourdough bread is cooked at much lower temps than yeasted bread so this is another reason to eat bread prepared in this traditional manner as it would have far less acrylamide.
Refined carbs from the store even if organic are LOADED with acrylamide by the way.
Reason #453,967,004 to eat lovely, homemade mashed potatos with tons of butter and cream and garlic and salt and lemon zest (YUM!), instead of nasty, processed junk. This is why I'm so glad my family has never eaten any of this type of junk before we totally went over to a WAPF way of eating. Mommy, if you're reading this, THANK you. As in, a whole bunch!
You're lying to yourself if you think those mashed potatoes are any healthier than potato chips.
Natural and home cooked does not equal healthy.
Kenny F.
Sarah! You're on FIRE this week!
Keep up the great work. Love your blogs.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Thanks Kenny Some weeks are more smokin' hot than others!
I use to buy Kettlebrand's baked chips thinking they would be a healthier snack, but I soon realized they were no better than any other kind of chips. They still contained vegetable oils cooked at high heat and GMO-derived ingredients. Once again, Big Food has found another way to trick the masses into consuming fraudulently "healthy" products.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I don't even like to buy potato chips fried in lard due to the acrylamide problem although I will eat them on occasion. Better to limit fried foods altogether and eat them rarely. I do make healthy french fries at home using tallow (video on this in the free video library for this blog), but this is a rare treat due to the acrylamide problem which simply can't be avoided when you fry food.
Adrienne @ Whole New Mom
Sarah, do you know at what temperature the acrylamide issue starts? I have an oven fried potato recipe that we love and I'd love to know if we need to "ditch" it or maybe cook at a lower temp. Thanks!
At what point does the acrylamide form? I know all the science background on this but have never heard it applied to potato chips.
Kelli – Kettle brand claims to be GMO free. Acrylamide containing, yep, but maybe less bad than some others? One would hope that no one would make these the mainstay of their diet, although I appreciate this post, Sarah, as I know people who buy these things for themselves and their kids thinking they are healthy.

Ketchikan Travel Guide: 232 reviews and 576 photos
For nearly four years in the 1990's I made my home in the First City, formally known as Ketchikan, Alaska, informally known as K-Town. Ketchikan is the largest community in southern Southeast Alaska, and at the time it was considered the 4th largest town in Alaska. Ketchikan is the first city that you will arrive at when you are starting an Alaskan Cruise and entering the Alaskan Panhandle. Ketchikan sprawls for miles along the coast of Revillagigedo Island, or Revilla as the locals call it. But normally Ketchikan is only a few blocks up the mountains on Revilla. Just in case you are wondering, Revilla Island is nearly as big as the entire state of Rhode Island (.7 million acres). On the backside of the island is the Misty Fiords National Monument, which at 2.3 million acres is three times as large as that tiny little State of Rhode Island. I have seen Misty Fiords one Mother?s Day when I went around Revilla on a ferry.
Deer Mountain is the prominent mountain that looms over downtown Ketchikan. This picture is taken during one of our many boating trips. You can see a rain shower in Bear Valley (the light blob), which is a very common site in Southeast Alaska. Also on Revilla Island is the Tongass National Forest, and the Tongass is considered a rainforest. One year I lived in Ketchikan it rained over 200 inches.
Ketchikan has a number of nick-names like...
K-Town - Kind of goofy.
Salmon Capital of the World - Lots of fishing, but not so much as Bristol Bay.
First City - meaning furthest south so the first city people reach when coming north along the Inside Passsage.
The Rock - Living on an island can get taxing.
In June 1996 I flew down to Grand Junction, Colorado and bought my Grandma Norma?s Ford Taurus and drive it back up to Ketchikan (obviously taking the ferry for part of the way). Here is one lovely sunset reflecting in a puddle at a parking spot along the Tongass Highway.
- Cons:My brother used to call Revilla Island, "the rock".

you can take i float plane out, and it's only an hour and a half. i recommend Alaska Seaplane tours, it a more personal tour.
Hi dear. Happy Birthday. Many happy returns of the day. Congrats for having such nice pages.
Hey, really nice Ketchikan pages of yours. I wish next time in Alaska I can go there to see the First Town. Thanks, great tips and pics. Niina
YO girl you have done a super job on your Alaska sight. The pics are lovely ,and the discributions are right on. Good one
Fantastic page. Simply superb and great tips.. The phtographs are amazing.
More great memories you've stirred up! Ketchikan was the first place I set foot in Alaska! : - )
how funny--I just wrote a tip on banana slugs:) I like your page, it's a lot like mine is of Sitka and my Sitka/Tlingit album
Just like in Juneau. the cruise boats are as big or bigger than the whole downtown. Nice tips on the First City!
Fascinating page - I had a sister grow up there, so I am particularly fond of information on Ketchikan!!!
Simply stunning photos of absolutely amazing Alaska. Must get back there & see it properly! Thanks Angie!

1. If I copy paste stuff from a word document which contains in-text hyperlinks, would the editor recognize the hyperlinks?
2. Is there a theme or plugin available that will allow me show all my post's titles in the homepage? As in a user should be able to see only the titles of my post in main page.
3. Is there a way to disable menu?
I'm quite new to blogging and wordpress please bear with me. Thanks in advance!

Formscan By Gary Carson - A tricky looking contest and last year's winner LUKE'S BENEFIT may be able to repeat the dose. After winning this last season he followed up at Navan and went up to a mark of 110 which he ran well off in a competitive event at Leopardstown. He's also performed with credit at Fairyhouse off this pound lower mark and looks fairly treated at this rating considering he's in an easier looking contest now. Denis Hogan's charge comes into this off the back of a good run over hurdles at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks ago and no doubt this has been marked out for him given his success here last year. Itsuptoyou ran a big race on his handicap debut at Punchestown when just giving way before the last and looks a danger having actually been dropped a pound for that run. Whats On The Menu returns to handicap company and if he can repeat the run that saw him finish third to Mount Benbulben in a novice chase he has to be a serious contender. Hidden Present looks like he needs further than this while Rakamasi needs to bounce back from his poor Thurles run.

Turoa ski area sits on the active volcano of Mt Ruapehu in the middle of New Zealand's South Island. It's a four hour drive from Auckland or Wellington airport and two hours from Palmerston North or Taupo airports.
This season the resort opens it's new six seater high speed chair over 1.4kms long and a schmick new on mountain cafe and retail outlet. Turoa is south facing with over five hundred hectares of terrain and plenty of back country. It's above the tree line and has glacial skiing.
Ruapehu gets an average four metres a season, the most in New Zealand resorts and has the longest season, often open until November. Whakapapa ski field is on the other side of the mountain and you can ski both on the one lift ticket.
All skiing and boarding is above the tree line and the resort has the most vertical in Australasia, over 722metres. It's a good all mountain resort with an easy bitumen access road a short drive from town.
The downside is it's exposed position means the mountain can sometimes close for days at a time. When the weather clears this mountain is truly one of, if not the best in New Zealand.
The town of Ohakune sits at the base and is home to Thames Street, a short strip of bars and restaurants to keep you well satiated and entertained with a mix of pubs, bars and clubs.Lodgings go from motel to ski lodge and hotel style.

Hi! I am a newbie trying to set up my first blog.
Is there a way I can have two or more different sets of categories in my sidebar, for example, Categories by Subject, Categories by Author... etc.?
When I include the category widget to the sidebar, it authomatically lists all of the category names. I wish I could edit the list according to my needs, hide some, show some.... Is it possible?
