Getting ready for the phone interview, and decided to get my hopes up and try on my suit. It fits, woohoo!

Looking sharp! Good luck! So, you have a video phone?
- Nik
No, today's just a phone interview Nik, but I'm hoping to get called in for a face-to-face. I've had the thing since college, hence the question on whether it would fit or not. Probably needs to go to the cleaners if today goes well...

I've realized a small problem: I don't think I own any run-free pantyhose. As we're also now out of orange juice, I guess I'll muster enough energy to go to the store for both a little later on.

Tina! Pantyhose? Skirt? WTF??!! Thankfully those days are gone. I'm tellin' ya.
- anna sauce
Luckily I don't think it's a pantyhose job, more a 'business casual'. But, interview in clothes a notch above the company's daily norm is what I've always heard...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I stopped wearing my skirt suit because (as this thread shows) it just sends the girlie message a bit too hard. Now I do slacks, suit jacket, and nice top underneath. Glasses not contacts. If your'e curvy (like I am, and it looks like you are) you don't have to sex up the office clothes at all.
- anna sauce
It's a really nice suit and you look great- a women's tech group I am in talk about this *all the time* and in the early 90s there was a definite shift out of the skirt for reasons above. I mean, it's all in the impression. Since I'm going for tech roles, it's a tad different. If I was going for marketing, I'd vamp up a bit more. I'm more "trying to be taken seriously," though now that I'm older that's a little less of a worry than I was in my 20s trying to get a programming job!
- anna sauce
The best advice I got was- "dress for the pay you want". You may not want to out-dress your workplace, as that may send triggers of "she doesn't fit in." It's an interesting line. For corporate environments, definitely wear a suit (dress/skirt or slacks) for small companies, I'd go more for fitting in, but definitely show that you care and put effort into it (and dress for the pay you want).
- anna sauce
Hot!
- Meryn Stol
Well, it is a corporate job so a suit is appropriate if I get a face to face interview. An unfortunately, the skirt suit is the only one I have. Without my income and without even having my first unemployment check, I'm not in a position to buy a new one right now.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Understood- good luck!
- anna sauce
Lookin' sharp!
- Laura - not edifying
I sometimes do office visit interviews for my large IT company and I see skirts and pants. If it was my interview, I'd wear a knee length skirt.

Very nice! Academia must be ultra-conservative this way b/c we are told to avoid showing our knees in our interview wear. Partly because of the pantyhose/shiny knee conundrum, but also because of how it might look when you sit down. Most initial interviews are done at our big conference, either at the conference job center or in hotel suites/rooms. You never know where you might be...

Do you ever shop at a corner market? You know, places that carry basic and unique grocery items? Do you have one in your neighborhood? Is it popular? What sort of things would be necessary for a good corner market?
Sarah Miller, Rodfather, Derrick and Admiral Anika liked this
My whole neighborhood is corner markets/liquor stores! Within walking distance (a couple of blocks) I have 12 of them plus 2 butcher shops! Expand out to 1/2 a mile and it's amazing so many of these places can stay in business. I only go them in a pinch (namely for smokes or alcohol). For my groceries or household items I go to the grocery store, Target, etc...The ones I do frequent are clean, brightly lit and have a nice selection of stock.
- Admiral Anika
I live across from Super Mercado #1 and it's where I buy fresh tortillas and Coca Colas made with real sugar cane. I also live in Oak Cliff, so a walk anywhere around here takes you back to Bonnie & Clyde or the Oswald days.

- batsabode
The closest store to my house is a Trader Joe's, which I like, but sometimes you just want some Doritos, so for that I go to the Vons. Both are extremely popular, but I'm also a mile away from a college so tons of students, etc. I'd love to be close to a butcher. I also go to farmer's markets for my produce.
- Derrick
We get fresh tofu every Thursday from a tiny store run by family friends. It's not in the neighborhood, but everything in town isn't far. There must be at least 4 Mexican super markets too.
- Rodfather
Yes, Mayflower market in SF. Fresh produce, deli with good sandwiches, and lots of greek and italian speciality items make it great. Also, open early in the morning. 7:30am-9:30pm I believe, seven days a week. And you can ask them to carry stuff for you if you're a regular customer.
- Cristo
In Santa Cruz, I absolutely love New Leaf Market
- Rodfather
The reason I ask is because we have nothing like it in our town. We have two huge grocery stores at the northernmost end of town, but nothing downtown and nothing near thousands of people. There's a building open that could work nicely, but I already have an 80-hour a week job....
- Ben Hanten
In Cleveland I had a favorite corner beer and smokes place that also had an impressive wine and snacks section - good for impromptu house parties. In Chicago, I have small groceries, but they mostly contain obscure and/or expensive items. It's nice to have convenient yuppie food like arugula and brie, but the assortment is odd and never seems to have all the items one would need for a complete meal.

Favorite reason to take the train: I was commuting back and forth to Portland from SF. In the mountains, we lost an engine. I was in the dining car with a few random passengers in my booth. An announcement came on- we lost an engine, enjoy an extra drink on us, it'll be a longer ride. So we asked one of our companions, over a bottle of wine, the college plans of each kid in the JV basketball team he coached. It was so excellent.

Glitter is horrible to try to remove, especially nail polish. The stuff is like armor. If you want something without glitter, and lots of control over the color shades & strength, what you can do is buy a thick liquid foundation makeup of the fairest shade and mix in some non-toxic childrens tempra paint till it's the exact color you want. Don't use around eye area though and stay away...

Mike Chelen, Jessie, Tudor Bosman and 6 other people liked this
"Calorie counts on food labels around the world are based on a system developed in the late 19th century by American chemist Wilbur Olin Atwater. Atwater calculated the energy content of various foods by burning small samples in controlled conditions and measuring the amount of energy released in the form of heat. To estimate the proportion of this raw energy that was used by the body, Atwater calculated the amount of energy lost as undigested food in faeces, and as chemical energy in the form of urea, ammonia and organic acids found in urine, and then he subtracted these figures from the total. Using this method, Atwater estimated that carbohydrates and protein provide an average of 4 kcal per gram, while fat provides 9 kcal per gram. With a few modifications, these measurements of what is known as metabolisable energy have been the currency of food ever since. We know these values are approximate. Nutritionists are well aware that our bodies don't incinerate food, they digest it....

It seems like glycemic index is an attempt to move away from the calorie test, but ideally it would be done on you. "The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of the power of foods (or specifically the carbohydrate in a food) to raise blood sugar (glucose) levels after being eaten. The GI values of foods must be measured using valid scientific methods. It cannot be guessed by looking at the composition of the food." from http://www.glycemicindex.com/

The glycemic index is great if you're dealing with high blood sugar or insulin resistance, but it doesn't tell you much about your energy intake, which is important to know if you're trying to lose weight by dieting.
- Victor Ganata
Sarah, I wouldn't necessarily take the conclusion that whole, raw foods are the way to go. Raw foods take a huge cost in digestion. Anyone with stomach irritation would probably make their situation worse by switching to just raw foods. Whole foods (raw or cooked), on the other hand - definitely better than processed foods. Great read.
- Darren
A lot of times, what zero actually means on a label is <0.5, although I guess if so-called "food" didn't actually have any digestible fat, protein, or carbohydrate in it, I guess that really is zero calories.
- Victor Ganata
From what I have read, cooking makes food more digestable, and makes it easier to absorb nutrients. However, depending on how you cook things, some vitamins and minerals get cooked off. This is why steaming is supposed to be better than boiling. There can also be interactions. For example, spinach is rich in iron, but some other chemical in spinach makes the iron almost impossible to absorb.
- Robert Felty
Victor, presumably fat and/or protein cause changes in blood chemistry as well. Maybe we should invent an energy index that measures how much energy healthy subjects get from food. If it doesn't make it to your blood, then it wasn't really absorbed and can't make it to you cells either.
- Clare Dibble
Maybe we should encourage moving away entirely from a reductionist approach to nutrition, and instead focus on centuries-old traditions centered on healthy eating and integrating food into a healthy lifestyle.
- Darren
There's no easy way to measure how much fat, protein, or carbohydrate actually gets absorbed into the system, because the liver usually pulls most of the nutrients out of the blood before it gets into the general circulation. You'd have to cannulate someone's portal vein to get measurements, and this is technically demanding and not a little dangerous. With fat, it's even harder,...
more...
- Victor Ganata
But couldn't we measure how much was _not_ absorbed into the system?
- Andrew C
Andrew, yeah, I guess that would probably be a lot less invasive. Of course, you'd have to have subjects that would be willing not to eat or drink anything for long periods of time, to make sure that everything you ingested made the full trip. While it takes about two hours for the stomach to empty, and about two hours to traverse the small intestine, the average journey through the large intestine apparently takes 30-40 hours.
- Victor Ganata
That actually sounds relatively minor for a long-term test subject. Robert Rodriguez took in a few grand for a month-long study where he lived on the premises...

Question inspired from this week's ffundercats (http://www.ffundercats.com/2009...) and the chat here: http://ff.im/5e2kH
- Kol Tregaskes
I wonder what they think of this in Phucket?
- MVB (Grinch of FF)
A new one to me: "fillet" is pronounced 'fill-ay" in America, like 'ballet' but not like 'bullet'.
- Kol Tregaskes
isn't fillet french?
- directeur
It is?
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes, Kol, it is. We're talking about fillet (as in meat) right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- directeur
Yep. In the UK (and it appears in Australia if you listen to Johnny on ffundercats this week) we pronounce it 'fill-it'.
- Kol Tregaskes

Josh, now that's interesting! We had some OS professors (when I was a student) and some pronounce "scheduler" as "s'keduler" while some other pronounce it as "cheduler"
- directeur
Colour? Cheque?
- Tyson Key
Tyson, that's more down to spelling, they are pronounced the same I believe?
- Kol Tregaskes
(Color and Check, if I remember correctly). I recall some people talking about phase and faze, but that was clarified, since they mean completely different things.
- Tyson Key
Good point

- Kol Tregaskes
Primer: Most people here say "PRY-mer" whereas I was raised and most Europeans I know say "prim-ER"
- Admiral Anika
Weird. I don't know any Europeans who pronounce that "prim-ER", including me.
- Mark H
Hmm, as a Brit, I've always thought of a garage as a place to purchase fuel, a place to store cars and a place to service them, but I'm sure those on the other side of the pond have a different take.
- Tyson Key
(Depending on context, of course)
- Tyson Key
wait, a garage is where you put your car, isn't it? or sometimes where someone can repair it
- directeur
Yeah, although I've heard people say "I'm off to the garage to get some petrol" more times than enough, too.
- Tyson Key
Kind like pants? Pants in America appears to be trousers in the UK. And pants in the UK is underwear.
- Kol Tregaskes
And 'gas' instead of 'petrol'.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yah kol :)
- directeur
Herb. For some reason Americans don't pronounce the 'h'.
- Mark H
Hmm, text isn't a great way to describe pronunciation, but "garidj" or "gahr-aaje"?
- Tyson Key
Why is it 'gas' anyway. You don't put gas in your car do you?
- Kol Tregaskes
I couldn't think of a better way to describe it, and I'm not that great with IPA.
- Tyson Key
Now what is the BEST with aussies, is the way they use "but" and "though" sometimes.

Interesting about "Primer". I've always put emphasis on the "PRY", and most other people I've heard also do so...
- Tyson Key
Still, I manage to mangle "thoroughly" and "three", after many years, so that's best taken with a bucket of salt.
- Tyson Key
while you're talking about herbs.. oregano.. Brits: Ore-GA-NO US: Or-EG-AN-o. Also, the Aluminium thing is a bit convoluted because Aluminium and Aluminum are two different alloys, in the sense of soda cans etc the Americans are correct in that Aluminum is used, not Aluminium. And here's another... anything that is to do with children in a medical term - Brits: Paed US: Ped (as in Paediatrician not Pediatrician)
- alphaxion
Cache (the computing term) - "Cash"? or "Cah-shay"? I've always pronounced it the former way, but I've heard a small number of people use the latter on some occasions.
- Tyson Key
Router in computing. A router the way the Americans pronounce it is a wood working instrument. Rout-er not R-out-er :)
- alphaxion
'route' pronounced like 'boot' in the UK but in America it's pronounced like 'bout'.
- Kol Tregaskes
Ah, alpha, just beat me. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
'Tis root-er.
- Tyson Key
or route is pronounced "root" here in Arizona
- martha
'route' is pronounced 'root' is most of the US. I've only heard a few people say, "rout". However, 'router" is said, "Rout-ER".
- Admiral Anika
We eat our fish fillited, but some times we might have a nice beef fillit or a fillay even. Some like a French Fillee I prefer a Scotch Fillet, but. Though youse mob might not. We would serve that with basil, not baysil; and perhaps some ory gano - not oreg nio - is that how you pronounce it? Alum in ium is the way I pronounce alume in um - that's not just because our been comes in aluminium cans. We don't put a lot of gas in our cars unless it's LPG, but we do put our foot down on it a lot.
- Chris Loft
Kol: it's gas because the product itself is gasoline so it's just a shortened version. Petrol is a shortened version of petroleum which isn't actually accurate (since you're not in fact putting petroleum in the car). As for route v route: it's pronounced both ways here. A router, however, is "r-OW-ter"
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
"Rout" just sounds strange to my ears
- Tyson Key
Unless you're talking about tile grout, but that's something different
- Tyson Key
The back of some cars, where you store things - "boot" or "trunk"?
- Tyson Key
To clarify: In the UK - router (pronouned root-er) is the network device. When pronounced rout-er it's the tool used in carpentry.
- Mark H
As a proud English Northern lass I pronounce garage "ga-ridge" - most southerners (and Canadian and Americans) pronounce it "ga-raaaaage" (I may be over-emphasising a little....)
- WorldofHiglet
That's what I'm thinking of... Yes, I do call it a "ga-ridge".
- Tyson Key
Thank you, Tina. Like I know anything about cars anyway. ;-)

If it moves you from one place to another, who cares? I don't know a great deal about cars either. ;)

- Tyson Key
Or how to pronounce Moet.
- Marlin Forbes
Mo-wet? Moh-way? Mow-it? Moh-ay?

regional speech patterns can be pretty interesting. In most of the us a toboggan is a wodden sled with a curved front, but in appalachia it is a knit cap (also known as a beanie).
