  Lithic flake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When a flake is detached from its parent core by either method, a portion of the cone of force caused by the detachment blow is detached with it, leaving a distinctive bulb of applied force on the flake and a corresponding flake scar on the core.
Flakes are often differentiated by the amount of cortex present on their dorsal surfaces, because the amount of cortex indicates what part of the core the flake came from.
Blades and flakes can be modified into tools, for example scrapers and burins, which are created by a burin blow on the tip of a blade which produces a chisel-like edge which may have been used for graving and carving wood or bone.

 Flake (fish) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flake is a term used in Australia to indicate the flesh of any of several species of small shark, particularly Gummy Shark.
By the mid to late years of the 20th century, Australia's growing population and more efficient harvesting methods had led to an alarming decline in shark stocks, and the fishery is now regulated in the hope of preventing any further deterioration.
During the late 1960s it became apparent that larger individuals of several shark species were contaminated with high levels of heavy metals, particularly mercury, and a public outcry eventually led to a ban on the sale of large School Sharks in 1972, which remained in effect until 1985.

 Flake punishes representatives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Flake stripped renegade Reps. Pete Hershberger of Tucson and Tom O'Halleran of Sedona of their committee chairmanships because the pair rebelled against the more conservative House leaders by trying to round up votes for a more expensive Child Protective Services reform bill during a contentious special session late last year.
Flake had been holding the pairs' bills for weeks and was not assigning any legislation to their committees.
Flake is not the first legislative leader to use the strong-arm tactic on a committee chair, but it has been more than a decade since the last time.

 Definition of Flake Types   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
I recognize the four common flake types of feather, hinge, overshot (or reverse hinge), and step that are found in most of the literature (Cotterell and Kamminga 1987:684; Patten 1999:85; Whittaker 1994:18).
The factors that effect the creation of the various flakes are width-to-thickness ratio of the core, loading time of the force, and angle of blow.
It has a trajectory that is the reverse of the hinge flake and hence, the second name "reverse hinge flake".

DEFINITION: A purposely created flake tool which is usually a decortication flake that retains a piece of the cortex on one side and a sharp edge on the other.
The flakes are removed from an existing stone tool in order to thin, sharpen, blunt, or otherwise modify it for a specific use.
Secondary flaking is the trimming which gives a chipped stone tool its final shape after the primary flaking has produced a blank (blade, flake, or core) of roughly the required form.

 Mac Baren :: Production of Flake tobacco   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In order to produce a good flake, we must be fully versed in the old traditions associated with flake tobacco.
This may sound a lot – and it is. The blocks of tobacco are subject to this tremendous pressure for 12 hours, after which they are pressed so hard together that the degree of hardness is comparable to that of a wooden board.
This slow, constant, strong pressure is the key to the finished flake tobacco not breaking apart and ensures that it retains its block form.

 TobaccoReviews.com: Blend Detail: Dunhill - Light Flake
Essentially, it involves folding the flake(s) in half 'with the grain,' folding again 'across the grain,' which loosens the slivers of tobacco on the folded end...then pushing/massaging a bit to get that 'looser' consistency, then cramming the bundle (which is the exact size of the bowl) into the pipe.
For me, DLF proved to be a very mild, one-dimensional VA flake that is short on taste and, consequently, failed to satisfy me. It has a subdued citrus flavor as well as an underlying and subtle soapy/floral taste, the latter of which I did not care for.
Flakes are packed a bit odd in the tin (some twisted a bit), but they hold up pretty good when unloading and packing.

 TobaccoReviews.com: Blend Detail: Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. - Brown Flake
As with Bright CR Flake, this is another tobacco that devises its flavour simply from the choice of leaf in the blend, and has no additional casings or flavours to enhance the smoke.
Brown Flake is a flavor-forward mixture that is naturally sweet and honest to the palate.
GH offers some of those, to be sure, but Brown Flake is a nice, unadulterated flake with only a smidgen of the telltale floral aroma, which appears to come from the processing, rather than toppings.

However the more recent Cadbury Flake advertising campaigns in women's press do not show the Flake woman but empowers the reader to imagine their own Flake moment.
