INPUT ARTICLE: Article: High-starch potatoes (like russets and most sweet potatoes, including the jewel yam) are highly absorbent with a light, fluffy texture. Medium-starch or all-purpose potatoes (such as Yukon Gold, red gold, white, blue, and purple potatoes) have more moisture than high-starch potatoes and are less likely to fall apart. Potatoes should feel firm and heavy. Look out for green spots, wrinkles, sprouts, blemishes and soft spots--these are signs of a bad or bitter potato. If you are using potatoes you already have at home and discover a green spot, make sure you chop it off an discard it. The green parts of a potato are mildly poisonous and will upset your stomach. Store your potatoes in a cool, dry space. Try not to store them anywhere too cold (like the refrigerator), as the starches will begin turning into sugar, which will alter the taste. Potatoes grow in the dirt and, though they are rinsed before you buy them, dirt may still be hiding in the little dimples (or "eyes") on the potato. Don't scrub so hard that the skin begins to peel off. Be gentle with your potato. Even organic foods are treated with pesticides, so be on the safe side and make sure you're washing all your organic produce, too. You don't need to use a special solution of veggie wash to clean the potato--running water should do the job. This will give you six wedges per potato. Try to cut the wedges into equal sizes so they all bake at the same rate. If you have a mixture of thick and thin wedges, the thin ones may burn while you wait for the thick wedges to bake all the way through. Six wedges per-potato should give you a thick, but not too thick, slice. If wedges are any thicker, they may be crispy and gold on the outside, but completely underdone inside. If you are not baking the potato wedges right away (if you have to prep the rest of your meal or wait for the oven to preheat), put them in a bowl of cold water with a squirt of lemon juice or vinegar. This will prevent discoloration. Don't let the potatoes soak in the bowl for longer than two hours--the potatoes will absorb the water and may begin to lose some of their vitamins. You may peel the potatoes before slicing if you don't want to eat the skin, but they may not hold their shape as well when you bake them. The skins are more vitamin-rich than the flesh, so the potato would lose some of its nutritional value without it. The oil will help the spices stick to the potatoes. Make sure the spices and oil are distributed evenly and your wedges are fully coated. Make sure your hands are clean before handling the food. If you want to add additional flavors--like minced garlic, chopped rosemary leaves, spicy cumin, or thyme--add it to the bowl and mix with the rest of the ingredients.

SUMMARY: Choose a firm, high or medium starch potato. Scrub the potatoes with cool water and a vegetable brush. Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then cut those halves into thirds. Put sliced potatoes, salt, pepper, and oil in a large bowl and toss with your hands.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your doctor will prescribe a medication to help you pass the tapeworm. Carefully follow your doctor's instructions for how to take your medication. The most common medications prescribed to treat a tapeworm infection include: Praziquantel (Biltricide). This medication works by killing certain worms. Do not take this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, allergic to any ingredient in the medication, have a worm infection in your eye, or if you are on rifampin. Albendazole (Albenza). This medication prevents newly hatched worms from growing in your body. It treats specific types of tapeworm infections, including those you get from eating pork and from being around infected dogs. Nitazoxanide (Alinia). This medication is mainly used to treat parasites that you pick up from swimming in a lake or spending time in other moist places. If you have to pass a large tapeworm, it is likely that you will have some pain and cramping. This is normal, but make sure that you call your doctor if the pain becomes severe. To ensure that you are tapeworm free, your doctor will need to check your stools again one month following your treatment and then again three months after your treatment. Make sure that you keep this appointment even if you are feeling fine.

SUMMARY: Take medication to help pass the tapeworm. Expect some pain and cramping. See your doctor for a follow-up visit.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you can even begin searching for the right condo for you, you have to know what you can afford. A trip to the bank will not only give you the financial details you will need to proceed in purchasing a condo, but also establish a reasonable budget for your income level. You may want to consider visiting more than one financial institution in order to get the best interest rate on your loan. A little legwork in the beginning can save you a lot of money in the long run. Do not mistake pre-qualification with pre-approval. Your pre-qualified amount is not a guaranteed amount, but this must be done before your finances are more thoroughly investigated and you are pre-approved. Now that you're pre-approved, you should have received a conditional agreement in writing from your lender. This indicates that you are one step closer to obtaining an actual mortgage, and will give you bargaining power when dealing with property sellers. It will also define the upper limit of what you can afford. Spend some time to scope out the area of a few places you really like. Pay attention to traffic patterns, proximity to major area attractions, grocery stores and any other factors that may be either appealing, or unappealing, to you and your family. This is especially important if you choose to forego using a realtor. Finding you potential listings that might be a good fit is the primary purpose of a realtor, but instead of hiring a realtor you might: Subscribe to a real estate magazine Check online listings, like Craigslist and zillow.com Page through local newspapers, which may have listings Peruse neighborhoods you would like to live Search real estate websites online, which frequently maintain a database of homes for sale Once you have narrowed down your choices to a short list, find out when the condo will be available for viewing. Often there are scheduled open houses, but you may have to contact the seller to set up a separate viewing. Take your time going through the condo and make special notes of pros and cons. Take along a notepad to help you remember what you liked and didn't like about each condo you walk through. Ask questions about what types of condo fees are associated with the complex. Although condo communities come with the conveniences of provided upkeep and other services, these benefits also come with a price tag. If your property is included as part of a community HOA, you will need to pay a monthly fee to maintain common areas (landscaping, pool, playground, fitness area, etc.). This fee should be included in your pre-qualified amount.

SUMMARY: Get pre-approved for a loan. Use your pre-approved loan amount to your advantage. Research ideal areas. Search actively for homes in your ideal areas. Attend open houses. Inquire about Home Owner Associations (HOAs).
