The Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) series is published by the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements (BIMM). Dating from 1938, the series assists professionals in selecting and in using standardized tests.
The mission of the Buros Institute is to provide test descriptions, references, and reviews of commercially available tests for potential test users. Each edition reviews new and significantly revised tests since the last edition to allow test users to make informed decisions. The Institute also publishes Tests in Print which is in its 7th edition. The latter is a comprehensive bibliography of tests currently in English and in print.
The MMY has descriptive information on tests and test reviews. Many of the tests have bibliographies of useful references. There are several indexes: (1) test title; (2) classified subjects; (3) publishers' index and directory; (4) name index of test; (5) review and reference authors; (6) test title acronyms; and (7) scores. The title index offers cross-referencing information for tests known by multiple titles. New or revised tests are duly noted; tests with similar titles (that may be useful) are also included. All numbers in the indexes are test numbers, not page numbers. Tests appear alphabetically by title and have a sequential number.
No edition of MMY offers reviews of all tests currently in print. To learn if a published test has been reviewed in any volume of MMY, you may visit the Buros' website for the "Test Reviews Online (TROL)" database: http://buros.unl.edu/buros/jsp/search.jsp. A search of the database will indicate if the test has been reviewed and in which volume the review is found. Searches are available by title (alphabetical), by keyword, and by category. The latter encompasses the MMY since 1985 (ninth edition). You can then view the full test review by consulting the corresponding volume in Busse Library's reference collection at call number BF 176. M 4x.
A sample test entry includes:
a. TITLE: Test titles are printed in boldface. Secondary (or series) titles are set off by a colon.
b. PURPOSE: A brief statement describing the purpose of the test. Usually features a quote from the test manual.
c. POPULATION: Groups for which the test is intended.
d. PUBLICATION DATE: An inclusive range of dates for the various forms and editions of the test.
e. ACRONYM: Acronym commonly used for test reference.
f. SCORES: The number of part scores is shown, with titles and descriptions of what is intended to be presented or measured.
g. ADMINISTRATION: Individual or group administration is noted. A test is considered a "group" test unless it may be administered only on an individual basis.
h. FORMS, PARTS, and LEVELS: All such components are listed.
i. MANUAL: Note is included if the manual is not available. All other manual information is included in the "Price Data" section.
j. RESTRICTED DISTRIBUTION: Notes here are only for tests that are made available to a certain market by the publisher. Educational and psychological restrictions are not included.
k. PRICE DATA: Price information for testing packages, answer sheets, and all other peripherals.
l. FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND OTHER SPECIAL EDITIONS: Inclusions specify foreign language editions published by the English-language creator. Special editions (Braille, large print, etc.) are also included.
m. TIME: Two noted: (1) Number of minutes of actual working time allowed for examinees to complete testing and (2) approximate length of time needed for administering the test. The latter is enclosed in parentheses.
n. COMMENTS: Special notations, further descriptions, and factual criticism of the test.
o. AUTHOR: All authors are reported. If a test appears in a new form each year, only the most recent year is noted. Names are shown exactly as they appear on test booklets.
p. PUBLISHER: Name of publisher or distributor for the test. Consult the "Publishers' Directory and Index" for address and contact information.
q. FOREIGN ADAPTATIONS: Revisions or adaptations for foreign use.
r. SUBLISTINGS: Levels, editions, subtests, or parts of the test available in separate booklets.
s. CROSS REFERENCES: For tests that have been listed previously in an edition of MMY, an entry includes cross references to the review, excerpts, and references for the test in previous volumes.
To view sample entries for the MMY, visit the Buros website: http://www.unl.edu/buros/bimm/html/reviewsample.html. An entry may include some combination of the following:
a. DESCRIPTION: General overview of test
b. DEVELOPMENT: Historical overview of test's development
c. TECHNICAL: Discussion of test's administration, reliability, and aspects of measurement
d. COMMENTARY: Reviewer's clinical comments as to test's technical aspects ("C")
e. SUMMARY: Reviewer's final statement about test
f. REFERENCES: Reviewer's other, published references (full citations) Practitioners can use the Yearbooks to select tests for specific purposes. Some may be restricted to use by licensed psychologists and others may be administered by teachers, researchers, medical, and allied health personnel. For a complete description of contents and suggested methods of using the MMY, read the introduction found in the most recent volume.

A U.S. hacker who hooked up a botnet within Newell Rubbermaid's corporate network was sentenced to 41 months in prison on Wednesday, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Robert Matthew Bentley, of Panama City, Florida, must also pay US$65,000 restitution. He was sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida.
Bentley could have received a 10-year sentence. He pleaded guilty to charges of computer fraud and conspiracy to commit computer fraud for using the botnet to install advertising software on PCs located throughout Europe without permission.
Newell Rubbermaid, which makes products such as Sharpie markers and plastic food-storage containers, reported their European computer network had been hacked around December 2006. At least one other European-based company also complained.
Bentley's indictment was enabled by investigations conducted by several law enforcement agencies worldwide, including London's Metropolitan Police Computer Crime Unit, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Finland National Bureau of Investigation and other local U.S. agencies.
Others who helped Bentley are still under investigation, the department said. Bentley received a commission from a company called DollarRevenue for every installation of the advertising software.
Ad software can be very difficult to remove and trigger unwanted pop-ups. Many hackers have become astute at installing the software through surreptitious means, such as exploiting software vulernabilities in a PC's operating system or Web browser.
In December 2007, DollarRevenue was fined

Junior Tedd Himler and sophomore Annie DeAngelo posted a win and a third-place finish while placing 11th in the B division with 97 points. Harvard's total of 168 points was nine more than seventh-place Vermont and eight fewer than ninth-place Roger Williams. Boston College won with 99 points.
On the women's side, the Crimson was led by sophomores Emily Lambert and Alexandra Jumper, who placed 11th in the A division. They had 83 points, with one runner-up finish, in eight races. Senior Liz Powers and sophomore Marie Appel placed 14th in the B division, as Harvard totaled 176 points. BC won with 107.

The Pebble Smart Watch helps you check your phone notifications and control your music without pulling out your iPhone or Android but there are a few kinks to work out, Walt Mossberg discusses on digits. Photo: Pebble.

I'm Simon Constable winning a straight ... to wall last but joins us now from Maryland thanks for being now waltz ... Wed be here Simon ... so the Pebble smartwatch ... was a duet is a well haven't ... well aam ... it's actually a computer that you wear ... like a brisk walk to tells time ... but it does much more get to next wirelessly through Bluetooth ... trigger an I phone or an Android phone ... and that is basically Spears you did need ... to go to share fallen out of your pocket it or your purse ... to see if an incoming call or an incoming text or an incoming e mail or ... a social network post is something that you ... need to attend to rate than or you can safely ignore ... me does look in your wrist ... and a ... it gives you the you know it tells you to the incoming calls from course you can ... hit a button and income ascended to voicemail that it's a ... message the ginger preview of the message they get a sense of ... cheap too I need you drop everything right now I'm here with Eric and I wait ... now that all sounds rate over the summer ALM basically some bonds that you you found a mistake to smooth out is as you mention the massive slang and ... that that is indeed one of the box idea if it's an Android phone if it's an Android device to connect its own right ... well well that that well this different ... that ... there's certain ... of ... bonds in limitations on each platform any differ but there's one thing ... I that I found that that was true ... whichever upon you you will use them I didn't test on both and that is ... but say get ... five or six e mails in ninety seconds which sometimes happens you know bunch of e mails come in ... on the preview of each e mail ... will override the last one and will override it very quickly so quickly that you can even really read the previews ... of the ones being overridden ... so it kind of peace that the whole purpose ... they know this ... they say they're working on it may expect to have the ability to come scroll back through them ... starting sometime next month ... aam does after all this is a computer and ... the view of an app on each platform that can opt out of D ... the capabilities of the watch ... ok not that tells about some of some Aiello things ALM that that were there an issue that you so ... well I know that to the registration a couple of other um positives and then of the ... couple the negatives ... if he controls the music on your phone and that's ... kind of cool thing ... it up so to run a more or doing something where you don't want to have the phone right in your hand ... I you will do that aam ... they're coming out with ... you know ... tie ins to other apps on the phones went running apps and ... golf apps and and and other things like that ... on the downside you know they're just limitations or or bugs in both platforms ... on the I phone ... it has to come in May a Bluetooth headset to work ... and the he man all the messages were were great but E-mail ...

I think this ... is this is convenient it's nice to design its late ... but for a hundred fifty box ... you might want to wait until they've worked out much these limitations and bugs ... theres plenty of money ... through crowd sourcing for this so they have plenty of resources to work these things out ... but it may take some time ...

While the official home of Muffin Tin Monday is taking a break from scheduling themes for summer, we think themes are fun and are trying to keep them going. :) This week my boys have been all a-buzz with excitement because they sighted their first shooting star one evening while catching fireflies in the yard. Little sister has since been pretending to see shooting stars too, every time she looks up in the sky...much to the annoyance of her big brothers. ;-)
Across the top row: mini star-shaped dish with organic yogurt covered raisins, granola bar, Babybell cheese.
Bottom row: cucumbers with hummus, star shaped peanut butter sandwich with stary all-natural fruit roll-up on top, grapes.
Having the grapes still in a little bunch is miss Paige's new favorite thing. "Gwapes on sticks" and "gwapes on bwanches" has been a frequent request this week. ;-)

Mendelssohn: Lost Treasures and the Wagner Suppression
Felix Mendelssohn, one of the most popular composers of the Romantic era, is recognized as one of classical music's most prolific and gifted composers. Yet of his more than 770 compositions, over 270 are still unpublished, owing primarily to a campaign of suppression by composer Richard Wagner and his sympathizers in the post-revolution Germany of the 1850s and later during Hitler's rise to power.
After his death in 1847 at age 38, Felix Mendelssohn's reputation was vilified by composer Richard Wagner through his writings, specifically his book Judaism in Music, in which Wagner wrote that since Mendelssohn had the blood of a Jew, he was incapable of writing great music. As a result, publication of hundreds of Mendelssohn's works was suppressed as anti-Semitic feelings increased. Later, when Hitler came to power, Mendelssohn's scores were banned by the Nazis and were scattered around the globe. In a campaign to recover these lost works and to further restore Mendelssohn's reputation, Mr. Somary has rediscovered hundreds of unknown compositions of all genres, which Mendelssohn wrote from his teen years to the period just before his death.
Now on Wednesday, January 28, at 7:00 p.m. as the music world prepares to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn's birth, the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in association with The Mendelssohn Project will present a program of 13 world premieres of recital, vocal, and chamber works by Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn: Lost Treasures and the Wagner Suppression will take place in Edmond J. Safra Hall of the Museum and will feature pianists Orion Weiss and Anna Polonsky, the Shanghai Quartet, bass Kevin Deas, and mezzo-soprano Abigail Nims. Stephen Vann is artistic producer, and Stephen Somary, founder and artistic director of The Mendelssohn Project, is artistic director of this concert.
WQXR's Elliott Forrest, Peabody award-winning broadcaster and producer, will moderate a post-concert discussion with Stephen Somary and some of the evening's artists about this "new" music from Felix Mendelssohn and the preparations undertaken to ready the Mendelssohn manuscripts for performance, followed by questions from the audience.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian rebels said they had overrun a major military checkpoint in Deraa on Friday and hoped it would allow them to capture the southern city, the cradle of their 27-month-old uprising.
Activists uploaded video showing fighters blowing up two high-rise buildings that had flanked the army post, flattening the entire area in a cloud of dust.
The Syrian conflict began in Deraa as a peaceful protest movement against President Bashar al-Assad's rule, but has spread across the country and degenerated into civil war.
More than 100,000 people have died, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which works with a network of activists across Syria.
Rami Abdulrahman, the head of the Observatory, said the fall of the army post was strategically significant for Deraa, where protesters first marched against four decades of Assad family rule from the city's Omari mosque in March 2011.
"Now the army is under threat there. The rebels haven't liberated all of the old city. There are still two neighbourhoods with soldiers, but this could change the balance of power there," Abdulrahman told Reuters.
Local opposition activists were more upbeat, saying rebels had destroyed nearly all the military's 48 posts in the city and had forced soldiers to retreat.
"This means Deraa's old city is liberated. It is a big deal for all Syrians: the heart of the revolution has been freed," said an activist called Ammar, speaking by phone.
The Omari mosque, which served as a gathering point and makeshift clinic when protests began, was also recaptured but has been nearly destroyed by tank and artillery fire, he said.
Security forces had staged a bloody assault on the mosque from March 23-25, 2011, killing at least 31 people there.
The capture of the Binayat post was one of the first major rebel victories in months in the south, where Assad's forces have been on the offensive, as they have in Damascus and Homs province.
Before the government gains, Deraa, which is also the name of a province on the southern border with Jordan, had been an arms pipeline for rebels that stretched as far as Damascus.
But army advances had cut several routes and rebels also complained that a U.S.-Russian proposal for a "Geneva 2" peace conference, as well as Western fears of a rising Islamist current among the rebels, had stalled weapons transfers.
Prospects for the conference have dimmed since Assad's forces, spearheaded by Lebanon's Hezbollah fighters, captured the town of Qusair on the Lebanese-Syrian border this month.
Gulf sources said they were given the green light to begin re-stocking rebels with heavy weapons after the United States announced it would provide the opposition with military support.
Western powers are keen to ensure that only relatively moderate rebel units receive the shipments, as opposed to Islamist militant brigades, some linked to al Qaeda, that have become increasingly powerful among the armed opposition.
Abdelrahman said Islamist fighters appeared to have led the latest battles in Deraa.
There were no reports of the use of advanced weaponry such as shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, which Saudi Arabia is now believed to be supplying to vetted rebel groups.

Many modern vehicles are equipped with a wide selection of interior and exterior lights for the convenience and safety of occupants. Glove box, rear view mirror, gauge panel, and overhead console lights are usually present in a vehicle's cabin. On the outside of vehicles are headlights, license plate lights, and turning signal or "blinker" lights. During nighttime operation, interior and exterior lights are especially important. Headlights and cabin lights can illuminate the surrounding area, reducing risk of injury from tripping or stumbling. In addition, a vehicle's lights can alert other motorists to the vehicle's presence. This is important during emergencies when a vehicle may be parked off the roadside. In addition to their safety functions, lights are convenient. From dome lights and fog lights to headlights and tail lights, our staff has both the know-how and the correct tools to help solve your lighting problems.
Interior and exterior lights are a standard feature on vehicles today because of their convenience and functionality. If any of your vehicle's lights are refusing to work correctly or are completely inoperable, we invite you to bring your vehicle in for our interior and exterior lighting repair service. Whether you are experiencing overly bright lights, dim lights, intermittent lights, or inoperable lights, we can help. Because there are many different types of lights, our procedures will vary depending upon what light you need repaired. Give us a call or contact us online if you have any questions about your lighting systems and basic maintenance. We are happy to help you and look forward to getting you back on the road again with functioning lights.
We proudly service the Interior & Exterior Lighting Repair needs of customers in , , , and surrounding areas.

Note from the author: There are 1,368 varieties covered in Wine Grapes by MW Jancis Robinson, MW Julia Harding, and Dr. Jose Vouillamoz. Let's try them all.
I pay careful attention to the wine that disappears first at a party. In large social gatherings, I'm less interested in complex tasting notes or mulling over winemaking practices, and more interested in what gets drained quickly amidst the chatter, good music, and laughs. When you have a mess of bottles open and one of them is emptied well in advance of the others, you know people liked it.
Based on multiple, very technical experiments in just these kinds of situations, I've discovered that the 2012 Beronia Viura is the perfect party wine. Three reasons:
#1: People have heard of Rioja. They think it is a red wine (often it is... but Rioja refers to the place, where red grapes are commonly grown—as are whites). When they see this white wine with RIOJA emblazoned across the front, they're confused/intrigued/think they're super drunk already and must be thinking of something else. Naturally, they reach for it to see what it's all about. What it's technically all about (according to our trusty tome, Wine Grapes) is the "often underestimated, widely grown variety that can make ageworthy whites as Viura in Rioja and Maccabeu in Roussillon." The book gives an appropriate nod to the serious, traditional, aged and oxidative styles of white Rioja, then continues, explaining, "varietal wines are typically lightly floral and relatively aromatic when young." Which brings us to reason number two...
#2: The young, 2012 Beronia Viura is gulpable. Super citrus-driven, there's tangerine, ripe red grapefruit, lemon and lime all jumping out of the glass... just enough brightly colored and familiar fruit to tell you at a boisterous party, "Hollerrr! I'm tasty wine!" but not so potent that it hogs your attention or distracts you from the attractive stranger across the room. The first sip is easy, not too light or bracing, not too heavy or rich... just right. The complementary fresh white flower notes and bite of bitter almond skin at the end make it not too simple, not too complex... just right. A nibble of cheese or handful of mixed nuts later, the Viura washes your mouth clean and gets you ready for a cool introduction: "Hello, stranger..."
#3: It's affordable. So affordable ($12!) that you can easily bring two bottles to the party. Although the first one is probably gone by now, you can pull the second out of your bag and walk a glass right over to your stranger. "This is a white Rioja," you begin.
Connection successfully made, love interest successfully piqued, party wine case successfully closed.

A new study suggests that people in leadership positions experience less stress than their subordinates. Published on Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study was written by a group of seven academics from Harvard, Stanford and the University of California at San Diego who work in the fields of psychology, business and public policy.
In what the researchers said is the largest project to examine leadership and stress, the study recruited 148 leaders and 65 non-leaders from the Boston metro area and from a Harvard executive education program designed for senior-level officials in the public sector, which included members of the military.
To determine stress levels, the researchers measured the levels of salivary cortisol, a stress hormone, in the study subjects. "It was an interesting part of the study to bring all these leaders into the lab and have them drool into a vial for a few minutes," says one of the paper's authors, Christopher Oveis, a management professor at U.C. San Diego. Those in leadership positions had cortisol levels that were 27% lower than non-leaders.
To gauge anxiety levels, the researchers asked the subjects to respond to a series of statements like, "I get in a state of tension or turmoil as I think over my recent concerns and interests," and rate them on a scale of one to four. The leaders' responses to the anxiety questionnaire showed they were less stressed than the non-leaders.
A couple of other interesting things the study found: The leaders were more likely to be male and to have more money than the subordinates. They also exercised more, smoked less, woke up earlier, slept less and drank more coffee than the non-leaders.
In a second experiment, the researchers looked at a group of 88 leaders from other Harvard executive education programs with varying levels of responsibility for managing groups and subordinates. The leaders with a higher rank and more power had lower cortisol levels and they also exhibited less anxiety in response to statements like, "I can get people to listen to what I say."
Though the study's findings may seem counterintuitive—we think of leaders as pressurized workaholics, especially in these tight economic times—they are consistent with earlier research suggesting that people who have more of a sense of control, are less stressed.
This seems to also be true of non-human primates. The paper notes that Robert Sapolsky, a Stanford neuroscientist, has studied cortisol levels in baboons and found that animals with a higher social rank have lower cortisol levels. (One of Sapolsky's studies, however, showed that the finding did not hold at the very top of the social hierarchy).
The new study raises a chicken and egg question. Does being high up on the organizational ladder cause bosses to be less stressed, or is it possible that people with less anxiety are more able to handle leadership roles, which gets them promoted? "We focused on the idea that leadership affords you an enhanced sense of control and this buffers against stress," says Oveis. "But it's certainly possible that people who tend to be less reactive to stress or those who develop great stress management skills are selected into leadership roles by others."

World Science Festival: The 4 Ways to Find E.T.
How do you hunt for extraterrestrial life? You visit other planets, you find new planets, you study our own planet, or you listen.
All four methods came together last night at the World Science Festival when four speakers took part in a conversation called, simply, "The Search for Life in the Universe." When you put four lively scientists with four different ways of thinking on a stage together, consensus isn't the first thing to emerge. But the panel could agree on one thing: If you yearn to know whether we're alone in the universe, it's a hell of a time to be alive.
1. Mars
Steve Squyres of Cornell University is one of the project leads on the Mars rovers, those endurance robots Spirit and Opportunity that continue sending back Martian data. Spirit may be stuck, but in this week's edition of the journal Science, Squyres' team has published a new study based on information the rover found at a rock outcropping called Comanche about four years ago.
Spirit found evidence of carbonates that would have formed in the presence of water. The rover had done that before, but what's exciting now, Squyres says, is that the chemistry of these new carbonate finds show they formed in water of a more neutral pH, rather than the more acidic circumstances that would have formed prior carbonate finds.
That water no longer flows on the martian surface, but "this points to more life-friendly conditions" billions of years ago, he said.
2. A Second Earth?
Humans have long imagined faraway planets around other stars, Harvard astronomer David Charbonneau said. "We are all alive at this magical moment when we have the technical ability to find those planets."
The count of known exoplanets now stands at greater than 400, and astronomers have found most of those by one of two methods. There's the wobble, in which astronomers spy a star jostled ever so slightly by its planet's gravity. It's like watching a dance, Charbonneau said, "it's just that one of the dance partners is 1,000 times heavier than the other." Secondly, there's the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star and dims the star slightly, giving away its presence.
Charbonneau is also a member of the Kepler Space Telescope team. It launched last year with the express purpose of exoplanet hunting, and at the World Science Festival he predicted it would find a truly Earth-like world in two to three more years (he's gotten close already). Plus, in 2014, exoplanet hunters will get another assist from this bad boy, the James Webb Space Telescope, a full-scale replica of which is currently on display in Battery Park.
3. Science Staycation
"This is my favorite planet, I have to say."
Michael J. Russell is the most Earth-focused of the four panelists who spoke last night. And he might be the most convinced that Earth is not alone in harboring life. As someone who studies the emergence of life on our homeworld, especially the possibility that it emerged in the pressure cooker of deep-sea vents, Russell is impressed by the reach and expansion of life here. And that's a good sign for life elsewhere in the universe.
What can Earth tell us about life on distant worlds? Life, Russell says, leaves evidence of itself in the waste it leaves behind. It accelerates chemical reactions—through photosynthesis, for example. Says Russell: "The question isn't, 'What is life?' What we should ask is, 'What does life do?'"
Zeta rays. Zeta rays are the key.
OK, I don't know what zeta rays are, and neither does Jill Tarter, longtime member of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). The point is that we're using technologies and weird physics that we didn't know about a half-century ago when SETI was founded. Given our location in the galaxy, she says, any civilization that might like to contact us probably has had more time to mature. "We can be fairly confident that we are the youngest," she said.
Thus, we use the methods we know—like optical and radio signals—to search for alien intelligences. But they might be trying to reach us with zeta rays, or some other crazy thing we haven't discovered yet. That, plus the great vastness of the galaxy, tells Tarter that 50 years of nothing but silence doesn't mean SETI is a failure. It means they're just getting started.
[Read more about SETI's first 50 years in the feature "Call Waiting" in the July/August issue of DISCOVER, on newsstands soon.]
So what if it's out there?
"First of all, I'm going to take a drink of champagne," Tarter said.
In case you were worried, SETI does have a plan in place for its response to an alien signal. Tarter says the scientists won't attempt to respond themselves, but would rather tell the world and try to reach a global consensus for our planet's next move.
Right… "global consensus." Tarter concedes that this sounds great on paper and is probably impossible to achieve. But in a socially connected world, maybe we can just take a vote on whether or not we want to tell E.T. we're here.
That plan, of course, would apply only if we found intelligent life. But if we detected even "pond scum," Squyers said, the achievement would be monumental. He's willing to accept that habitable environments proliferate throughout the galaxy. Even in our own solar system, promising locales for life like the moons Europa and Titan lie outside what we would call the "Goldilocks Zone." But finding that life independently arose twice just in our own tiny solar system would mean to him that the universe is "teeming with life."
I hope it is.

Detailed Description
Exclusively Distributed in the USA by Elusive Disc. Dealer Inquiries Invited!
Proudly display your headphones with this simplistic, sophisticated design from Sieveking Sound!
The Sieveking Sound Omega Headphone Stand is now available from Elusive Disc! The Omega Headphone Stand made its debut at the 2009 Munich High End Show and the response has been enthusiastic. The Sieveking Sound Omega Headphone Stand is designed and built in Germany and is possibly the most beautiful way to display your precious headphones. The Omega is made of several layers of steam moulded beech wood covered by real wood veneers on the inside and outside forming a single unit of wood. This piece is then hand sprayed twice with a matte clear lacquer certified for the use in children's toys to give the unit a refined shine and long lasting durability. The Omega ships in a bag made from un dyed flannel sourced in Italy which can be used to protect both the Omega and your headphones from dust and sunlight.
The flat surfaces of the Omega helps prolong the life of your headphones by exerting even pressure to the earpads which will help keep their shape much longer. The Omega is large enough to support very large headphones like a Sennheiser HD 800 or even the round models by STAX as well.
The Omega's design has been granted a design trademark by the European Union! This stand is ideal for any serious listener who does not want to see their headphones discarded in some corner but is proud to show one's love for music.
"The finish is flawless, the material natural, the design elegantly timeless and simple. You'd say Scandinavian if it weren't German."
- Srajan Ebaen, www.sixmoons.com -

"I recently purchased a new super-dooper headphone stand. Yes, I said headphone stand. My new AKGs have never felt so good... The new German manufactured headphone stand has improved my overall feeling of musicality and natural beauty. I recommend everyone go out and purchase one soon."
- Jeff M., actual Elusive Disc customer
"Available in four gorgeous wood finishes, these headphone stands are fabulous. Will fit any headphone I know of. May fit two pair at once if they are the kind that lay on your ear and not around them. They keep the foam or leather surround from crimping, which is what happens if you lay them in a drawer. The gorgeous striped Zebrano wood stand is orgasmic. Buy two like I did if you have multiple headsets. Excellent product!"
- Robert H. Levi
Made In Germany
Perfectly shaped to not stretch your headphone headband.
Wide and perfectly flat sides put even pressure on the earpads.
Fits most headphones!
Undyed flannel protective pouch to cover your stand and headphones

, Maple, and
Common Questions:
Will the Omega hold extra large headphones like the round Stax types or the Sennheiser HD 800?
Yes these headphones fit without trouble.
Wont the tension on the spring loading wear out the headphones over time?
Any headphone is designed to be worn on a human head for many hours with comfort and during these hours there is no loss of tension in the spring. The Omega headphone stand features a smaller opening angle than the human head and thus puts less tension on the headphone than you personally would when wearing the headphone.
Is there any glossy or painted version available?
All the Omega units come with real wood veneer coated with a matte clear lacquer. Unlike with glossy or painted versions this has got the advantage of not showing off grease, dust and dandruff that were transported from the pads of your headphone onto the stand. Upon closer inspection this is a major advantage over any versions in glass or acrylic.
How to I clean my Sieveking Sound Headphone 'Flannel Protective Pouch'?
Use warm water (not hot water, around 30 degrees celsius) and use mild detergent without bleach. Handwash.

New Dems call for fiscal cliff action
More than a dozen members of the New Democrat Coalition said Thursday that they're ready and eager to help forge a bipartisan deal to avert the fiscal cliff — and want President Barack Obama and congressional leaders to get to work.
"We think time is of the essence, we think the time to do this is now," Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.), the newly-elected chairman of the group, which describes itself as liberal on social issues and moderate on fiscal matters. "Sitting around for another 24 months in endless talks and negotiations…is notacceptable. Inaction is just not an option."
With at least 17 new coalition members expected in January, Kind said the group will represent more than a quarter of the Democratic caucus, giving it considerable clout.
Pennsylvania Rep. Allyson Schwartz, a coalition vice chair, said the group is focused on tax cuts for the middle class, Medicare and making America more economically competitive.
Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly said it's important for both sides to entertain proposals they don't prefer.
"Let's not rule a lot of stuff off the table, so long as the other side is not willing to rule off tax revenue, tax rates, and other revenue resources," he said.
"I don't think now is the time to be drawing any bright lines on any of the issues," Kind added. "Everything's got to be on the table if we're going to have an honest conversation…and I think that's what the American people are expecting from this Congress right now."

I wanted to listen to the Ab Irato show with Simon and me and onebornfree in order to assess how it sounded and I noticed the contention that the eyewitnesses (the ones who claim to have seen everything from nothing to a missile to a small plane, etc.) keep turning out to be media-connected and so forth.
And I wanted to post a single thread here that scrutinizes the "real" (non-media employee) eye-witnesses we do have recorded, and try to assess how they were gotten down on whatever document, and whether these documents can collectively be trusted. And if we can confirm these people have also been separated from the influence of the hoaxers.

Hotel Shanker, Kathmandu is a heritage hotel, housed in a 19th-century palace within walking distance to popular places Thamel and Durbar Marg, Kathmandu's tourist hubs. It was the royal residence of the rulers of Nepal from 1894 until 1964, when it was converted into a luxury hotel. The facade was kept intact but the interiors were redesigned to give travellers the kind of comfort they'd expect of a world class hotel. The hotel is characterised by exquisite and authentic objects d'art. For example, the carved windows displayed in the lobby bar are over 200 years old.
At the turn of the 19th century, Gen. Jit Shumsher Rana, brother of HH Sri Tin Maharaja Bhir Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana, hired architect Kumar Narsingh Rana to build the most elegant palace in Kathmandu. Items such as gilt mirrors, velvet, marble and sunburst chandeliers were imported from Europe. The exteriors were fashioned in neo-classical style. The construction was completed in 1894 A.D.
Gen. Jit Shumsher died in 1913, and this palace eventually came into the possession of Gen. Maharajkumar Agni Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana - the son of HH Sri Tin Maharaja Juddha Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana, one of the most distinguished of the powerful Rana Maharajas. Agni Shumsher's grand-daughters - HM Queen Aishwarya, HM Queen Komal and HH Princess Prekshya, were born in the palace.
In 1964 A.D., Late Mr. Ram Shanker Shrestha bought this palace and converted it into the hotel, commencing operations with 23 rooms. His ingenious concept of maintaining the old age beauty and merging it with modern comforts is the existence of Hotel Shanker, Kathmandu.
Today, the hotel maintains and cherishes its position as a grand beauty of unmistakable class. He posthumously received the Order of the Gorkha Dakshina Bahu, an order of knighthood of Nepal. It is one of the highest honours given for the distinguished contribution to the country traditionally by the King and now the President.

Ten Second Review
A proper Volkswagen - just a smaller one. The up! has enabled the German brand to regain the initiative in the important citycar sector and this improved version sets a high standard for contenders in this class, adding in turbo 1.0-litre power at the top of the range. Frugal, fun, clever and competitively priced, the up! is a key model to consider, not only for those in the market's smallest segment but also for people buying a compact car of any kind.
In concept, Volkswagen's up! was smarter even than the finished product we see here, the original 2007 prototype rear-engined just like the early Beetle as the German designers sought to find more space from an ever-smaller roadway footprint. But such complexity would have made the finished production version as expensive as 'lifestyle' small cars like the MINI or the Audi A1. Which wasn't the point at all. This, the company decided, must be something almost anyone could afford. In any case, it could still be clever even if it was conventional. If the engine could be smaller, the wheelbase longer and the overhangs shorter, the ambitious cabin space goals set by the rear-driven concept could still be achieved. A basic formula to which has been added all manner of innovation. Depending on its purpose and the preference of its buyer, an up! can guide you with Google. It can brake itself to avoid an accident. It can be a hot hatch. Or, at the other extreme, an electric runabout. It can, in short, be all things to all people. A real Peoples Car.
Driving Experience
Under the bonnet, the main news for up! buyers is the addition of an extra three cylinder petrol engine to the range, a pokier 1.0-litre TSI turbo unit with 90PS on tap. This sells alongside the existing normally aspirated 1.0-litre powerplants most customers will continue to want, these generating either 60 or 75PS. These feature a characteristic offbeat rasp that isn't unpleasant and rather suits this car's rather individual charisma. You'll certainly be hearing plenty of the volume engines if rapid progress is needed, for without a turbocharger to boost torque, the 60 or 75PS units need to be revved quite a bit, peak power not arriving until 6,000rpm, only 600rpm shy of the red line. Most will be content with the base 60PS version, capable as it is of sixty in 14.4s on the way to 99mph, quite enough to keep up with the traffic. I'm not sure I'd see the point of finding a lot more money for the 75PS variant, given that the performance gains are relatively slight (0-60mph in 13.2s on the way to 106mph). The 1.0 TSI turbo would be a fun choice though, offering performance that Volkswagen says is comparable to that provided by the first generation Golf GTI. In its ultimate 115PS form, it powers the fun GTI hot hatch version. The especially frugally-minded will be interested to try the full-electric e-up! version which has a battery powerplant capable of putting out the equivalent of 82PS.
Design and Build
Not too much has changed with the looks of this car. There are re-styled bumpers, a sleeker rear diffuser, door mirrors with integrated indicator lights, revised headlights with LED daytime running lights and smarter rear lights. Otherwise, it's as you were, so a length of around 3.5-metres, yet a wheelbase that takes up nearly 2.5-metres of that. Which is why, though an up! is no longer than a Fiat 500, it offers far more room inside, space in fact for the four fully-sized adults who could never comfortably fit in the apparently space-efficient Italian car. How has this been done? By shortening the front and rear overhangs as much as the designers dared, something only possible at the front by mounting the radiator alongside rather than in front of the very compact engine. The result is a tardis-like interior just as big as that of Volkswagen's far pricier Polo supermini. Take luggage space as an example; as long as you can lump your stuff over the rather high sill, you'll find 251-litres of space or 951-litres with the seats folded. The changes made to this revised model inside are even more subtle than those made to the exterior. There's classier background lighting, while plusher models get a redesigned 'Climatronic with Pure Air' air conditioning system and the option of a 'beats with a 300W' sound set-up. Otherwise, it's all very recognisable from before, the cool dished three-spoke steering wheel fashioned from light magnesium and framing an instrument cluster of refreshing simplicity. A pity though that it's still only adjustable for height, not for reach. The interior design with its large speedometer is clean and easy to get to grips with, featuring high gloss back trim and a compact centre pod for many of the minor controls. True, there's no shortage of hard plastics, but this doesn't feel like a car that's been ruthlessly built down to a price. It just feels agreeably minimalist.
Market and Model
Prices, as before, sit mainly in the £9,000 to £15,000 bracket, though the all-electric 'e-up!' will cost you just over £20,000, once the government grant has been substracted from its asking price. As before, there's a choice of either three or five-door bodystyles and the option of a semi-automatic robotised clutch-less 5-speed gearbox as an urban alternative to the usual 5-speed manual. And again, the main combustion engine trim levels are 'take up!', 'move up!' and 'high up!'. Across the range this time round, there are new exterior colours and a range of roof, design and colour packs to match them. Plus buyers can choose from a range of customisable dashboard designs and specify a 300W BeatsAudio sound system. Smartphone integration's better too. Bear in mind that the bottom end of the pricing spectrum gets you a very basic car indeed, so most will want to find an extra £1,000 to get themselves into mid-spec 'Move up!' trim. Here, you get the freshly developed media-savvy 'Composition' radio system, a USB port, an enlarged multi-function display and a customised "Black Cube" design dashpad as standard. The 'high up!' models add ambient lighting, a customised dashpad, heated front seats, a multifunction steering wheel, six loudspeakers, fog lamps with integrated static cornering lights and 15-inch 'Radial' alloy wheels. Air conditioning still comes as standard on this top variant.
Cost of Ownership
Any citycar stands or falls on its ongoing costs and here, the up! looks to have all its bases covered. Thanks in part to a low kerb weight of well under a tonne, even the 75PS 1.0-litre models will return a combined fuel economy figure of 60.1mpg with emissions pegged at 108g/km. Opt, as most people will, for the 60PS engine and the figures are better again, at 62.8mpg and 105g/km. Those looking for better economy still will be drawn inexorably to the BlueMotion Technology model which features low rolling resistance tyres, a battery regeneration system and a stop start system that cuts the engine when you don't need it in traffic or at the lights. As a result, it can return an impressive 68.9mpg on the combined cycle and emit just 96g/km of carbon dioxide. With a 35-litre fuel tank, this means that this variant has a theoretical driving range of as much as 530 miles. With this kind of showing, it's obvious why diesel versions of this car aren't offered. Even the 1.0 TSI will give you a tax-friendly 102g/km CO2 reading. If you really want to minimise your running costs, then you'll want to look at the e-up! full electric version. A standard full charge will give you 93 miles of range and takes less than nine hours from a standard 230-Volt, 2.3 kW household socket. On top of this, all e-up!s have a DC fast-charging circuit as standard. Using the Combined Charging System (CCS), this enables a flat battery to be charged to 80 per cent in 30 minutes, at levels of up to 40 kW using a DC supply.

In conjunction with the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play by Bruce Norris, "Clybourne Park," which New Haven's Long Wharf Theatre is producing later this spring, the theater is offering the third season of "SPARK," an inter-active program for theater-goers led by associate artistic director Eric Ting, who will also stage the play.
The program engages audiences through four 90-minute discussions with artists, as well as unprecedented access to the rehearsal process. The play runs May 8 to June 2.
"This will be an intimate and extended conversation about theater with 50 of our patrons spanning the length and breadth of the production—from first rehearsal through opening," Ting said in the announcement of the series,
Participants will get an insider's perspective on the process of bringing the play to the stage, meet the cast and creative team at the very beginning of their journey, participate in a discussion with the actor's about their craft, and witness an actual technical rehearsal on Long Wharf's mainstage
The play is described: "In 1959, we meet a group of neighbors trying unsuccessfully to talk their friends out of selling their home to a black family. Sixty years later, a white family attempts to move into the now predominantly African-American neighborhood. Inspired by the classic
"A Raisin in the Sun'
[which was produced last fall at the
Westport Country Playhouse
] this provocative and funny play delves into America's complicated relationship with race through sharp humor and deep perception.
The series costs $50 and includes a copy of the play.
First Rehearsal. Participants are invited to attend a portion of first rehearsal, to hear director Ting's thoughts on the production, meet the cast and hear design presentations. April 9 starting at 7 p.m.
Latest Stage Notes
The Actor's Craft. What truly is involved in the art and craft of acting? How does an actor take raw emotion and focus it through the text they are given, all to shape a life on stage? This master class will offer a glimpse into the rigors of creating true characters on stage. April 23 starting at 7 p.m.
Technical Rehearsal. A look at a technical rehearsal on Long Wharf's main stage. May 4 starting at 11 a.m.
Post-Mortem. A look back at the journey of the production. May 21 starting at 5 p.m.

Mayor Coleen J. Seng today announced new services available on the joint Web site for the City of Lincoln and Lancaster County called Interlinc. New services being added within the next month include:
Payment of water bills is the latest e-pay service to be added. Others e-pay services are animal license renewals, criminal history checks and payment of parking tickets and property taxes. The amount of e-commerce activity on InterLinc is now more than $1.5 million annually.
InterLinc can be reached at lincoln.ne.gov and lancaster.ne.gov. The site has more than 30,000 pages of information on City and County government and is accessed by more than 12,000 individual users each day.
Mayor Seng also announced that the City and County are promoting InterLinc by partnering with four private media firms - KFOR-KFRX Radio, KOLN-KGIN TV, the Lincoln Journal Star and Time Warner Cable.
"InterLinc gives citizens a link to local government services 24 hours a day," said Mayor Seng. "As more features and services are added to the Web site, it's important to let the public know, and our InterLinc partners will help us get that message to citizens."

Hello I am in a very embarrassing situation, I was trying to upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 from ubuntu 9.10 yesterday and while updating I forgot to put my laptop on charger and the battery ran out. Since we know that there is no track back process in linux, all I get now is a blank terminal screen at the start up. Even if I login, I still am stuck on that blank screen.
So the only way I see is to, format and reinstall my windows and linux instances. So before I format it, I am trying to save all my data that is in the linux partition. I am using ext2explore to save all my files. I wanted to know if there was any possible way to export a database or a few tables into a file from my windows partition??
I need to back up my database in the linux partition using my windows partition!!

This is in the Naganuma park, which is maintained by Tokyo Metropolitan government. Many wild plants are preserved in this park, and this flower is one of them. In July, beautiful but somewhat wild flowers are in full bloom around the trails in the park.
Tama area is the name of the western part of Tokyo Metropolis. It consists of 26 cities, 3 towns and a village. A lot of people (about 4 milion) live in a eastern half part of the area. However, there are many mountains in the western part of Tama area, and there are very little flat land. Many hiking spots are in the western area, so you can enjoy walking on the trail, camping, and so on. If you see the beautiful mountain scene, you may not believe this is also in Tokyo.

This question already has an answer here:
I came across the following problem that says:
Let $A$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix with real entries.If $A$ commutes with all $3 \times 3$ matrices with real entries,then the number of distinct eigenvalues of $A$ is which of the following:
$ 0,1,2,3$ or none of these.
I do not know how to progress with this particular problem. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for your time.
EDIT: Even though the question has been asked few months ago and I got some nice explanations ,I revisited the problem and I am little confused about the conclusion of the problem. The scalar matrices of the form $\lambda I$ satisfies the property. So what should be the number of distinct eigenvalues? Here all eigenvalues will be $1$. So,what is the conclusion? Is the answer $1$ or $0$? Can someone comment on it?

The motive for Stone's return to Basic Instinct, according to CNN, may be cash. Since the blond star did the original Basic Instinct in 1992, she's earned as much as $6 million per film. She will reportedly earn a startling $15 million for the sequel.
Her recent films (THE MUSE, SIMPATICO) have flopped. Her 1992 thriller made $117 million at the box office. You do the math.
Of course, the decision may also be a favor to longtime industry pals. "We are thrilled to have Sharon on board for the film," say the film's Mario Kassar and Andy Vajna, who were the producers of Basic Instinct and who recently convinced Arnold Schwarzenegger to do TERMINATOR 3.
Stone states, "now that the project is in the hands of our original producers and my old friends Mario and Andy, I felt assured that the project will be made with respect to the spirit of the original."
Translation: Next time, Sharon wants more nudity, more girl-girl eroticism, and more tools with which to frighten men.
However, monetary incentive or not, it's a surprising move; Stone has often publicly derided the idea that she would benefit from a repeat performance as bitchy, panty-less Catherine Tramell.
In addition, the main Basic Instinct players are not returning: Director Paul Verhoeven said two years ago that he'd never consider a sequel, while screenwriter Joe Esterhaz, whose new tell-all book, American Rhapsody, paints an ugly picture of Stone, is completely out of the question.
Esterhaz has had his own career flops since Instinct. Showgirls and Burn Hollywood Burn: An Alan Smithee Film was ransacked by critics. No word on whether Michael Douglas is considering coming back to his saggy-bummed San Francisco detective character, who is seduced by Stone's nasty novelist. In 1997, a rep for the actor told the Hollywood Reporter, "show me a script," adding that Douglas had no plans to return at the time.
Whoever is chosen as the Basic Instinct 2 director and as Stone's co-star, they'll have to be approved by Stone before signing on the dotted line.
Shooting is scheduled to begin this fall, with a possible release date of late 2001 or early 2002. MGM will distribute the film domestically.

"The Hangover Part II"
a review by Darby O'Gill
Bangkok can keep them! I know, I'm just as shocked as you. It's been almost two years since a little movie called The Hangover beat the odds and became one of the highest grossing comedies of all time. But, lightning doesn't always strike twice, and as much as I loved the first one… man, did I love that first movie! Sadly, the same can't be said for this one. Spoiler alert! If you saw the first movie, guess what? You've also already seen The Hangover Part II! Why, you ask? Because it's the exact same movie! Every plot point, every joke, and every setup… Only this time they're in Bangkok and have a monkey instead of a baby. I didn't really have high hopes when I heard they were making a sequel. I mean the first one was just so good that I almost didn't want them to mess with it. And to be honest, the characters are so much fun that I would be lying if I said I didn't want to see them again. The good news: we get to see them again! The bad news: it's a complete rip-off of the first movie! How does that happen?! I mean, sure, when something is a big hit like that, of course people are instantly going to copy it. For example, just this year on Smallville they had an episode that was blatant rip-off of The Hangover. And it was terrible! But the one person who should never ever make an unoriginal copy of that movie is Todd Phillips! How does that even happen?! I almost couldn't believe my eyes! For the first half hour, I thought it was a joke. I wanted to stand up at the screening and say, "Good one, Todd. Now play the real movie." Only this was the real movie! Let's see if you can spot the all comparisons in the breakdown.
In The Hangover Part II, Stu (Ed Helms) is preparing for his wedding. That's right another wedding! Stu tells Phil (Bradley Copper) and Doug (Justin Bartha) that he doesn't want a bachelor party in hopes of avoiding the same mistakes that almost ruined Doug's wedding. Phil quickly calls bullshit, and demands a proper sendoff. So when they get to Thailand… oh, wait. I forgot about Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Of course, Stu has no desire to invite the man that roofied him to his wedding, but Tracy (Sasha Barresse), Doug and Phil somehow convince him, and the Wolfpack is back! A new addition to the group is Stu's brother-in-law to be, Teddy (Mason Lee), a medical student and teenage musical prodigy. Then guess what? They wake-up and can't remember what happened? Yes! Lose a member of the group? Yes! Find a baby? No, a chain-smoking monkey! Do they find a tiger that belongs to a former heavyweight champion? No, but how about a monk that belongs to a monastery?! I mean, come on! I really hope they didn't actually pay someone to write this! Oh wait, they paid three people to write this. That had to be the easiest paycheck ever! I know that I'm making light of it, but it is kind of heartbreaking. I mean, the first movie was just so amazing, and really managed to change the way Hollywood studios looked at scripts. I don't think the sequel had to be better than the original, I just think it had to be different. They could have at least tried. That's not to say it's not funny. Well, parts of it anyway. Some of the jokes are great, and yes the "don't you remember last time" stuff is amusing to a degree, but do we really need a Chris Farley Show version of the first movie? I can't even say it's worth checking out, which is not something I thought I'd be saying a year ago.

Life of Amelia Earhart
By: Alice G.
Colorado, Age 11
When 10-year-old Amelia Mary Earhart saw her first plane at a state fair, she was not impressed. It was a thing of rusty wire and wood and looked not at all interesting, she said. It wasn't until Earhart attended a stunt-flying exhibition, almost a decade later, that she became seriously interested in aviation. A pilot spotted Earhart and her friend, who were watching from an isolated clearing, and dove at them. I am sure he said to himself, 'Watch me make them scamper, she said. Earhart, who felt a mixture of fear and pleasure, stood her ground. As the plane swooped by, something inside her awakened. I did not understand it at the time, she said, but I believe that little red airplane said something to me as it swished by. On December 28, 1920, pilot Frank Hawks gave her a ride that would forever change her life. By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the ground, she said, I knew I had to fly.

Why Jim Rogers Is Hoarding Gold and Silver
Though he has some cautionary sentiment about short-term gold prices, the legendary investor still remains optimistic about the long-term future of both silver and gold.
Jim Rogers has never been shy about vocalizing his love of precious metals. Though he has some cautionary sentiment about short-term gold prices given their 12-year bull run, the legendary investor still remains optimistic about the long-term future of both silver and gold. Rogers feels that investors should be loading up on silver and gold coins right now as he notes that they have surged in popularity and that mints have been consistently selling out of silver coins because investors are worried about the future.
Record Purchases
Rogers' opinions seem to reflect those of the masses, as January saw a record 7.5 million ounces of silver coins sold, according to Money Morning's Bern Gersten. Gersten also notes that "150,000 ounces of American Eagle gold coins were sold in January, the highest monthly total since July 2010." Thus far, silver investors have been rewarded in 2013 as the metal has gained more than 5% YTD while gold has been able to rake in meager gains of 0.1%.
But one thing that is very important to note is that these purchases are being made in the form of physical bullion, not investment securities. That means that these buyers are not in the market to speculate; they are there because they truly believe that these precious metals will appreciate over time. Gold, especially, has been the subject of a fair amount of speculation in recent years, as many have used it as a way to protect themselves against every little market blip.
For those looking to purchase physical precious metals, we outline the best ways to make an allocations to gold coins and silver coins. The two aforementioned guides walk investors through where they can both purchase and store bullion to keep their allocations safe. Of course, not everyone is comfortable with physical purchases, or they simply do not want to deal with the commodities themselves. In that case, you can take a look at the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEARCA:GLD) and iShares Silver Trust (NYSEARCA:SLV), both of which are ETFs offering physical exposure to their respective metals.

What I am about to tell you may get me in hot water with all those self help experts and schools that promote home inspection courses and basically anyone who makes money off of new home inspector's. That's OK I can take the heat.
First let's take care of the myth that a home inspector can make $20,000 to $30,000 a year part time and $60,000 to $80,000 full time. This myth is perpetuated by educators and self help experts. The reality is that you do not make any where near that type of money in the first year, maybe the second year but for most it'll be the third year. Many new inspectors are not aware of this reality and become disillusioned and do one of two things either quit or slash their inspection fees hoping to gain more business. The latter is not a good idea because it will hurt your fellow inspectors and more than likely you'll quit finding that the lower fees won't pay the bills.
Another reality that you are not informed about is cost. It can cost you a pretty penny from thermal cameras, high tech equipment to educational courses. These could cost you between $10,000 and $15,000 and that doesn't even include vehicles, licenses, errors and omission and general liability insurance, association fees etc… Are you scared yet? you should be.
You need to walk into this with your eyes open and you'll be OK. Oh, and by the way you will need a second income to survive. Don't get me wrong, this is a great industry to get involved in and the rewards can be great in the long term and the key words are long term. You need to develop a game plan and stick to it through thick and thin and it should involve a lot of marketing, website development and personal study. Below are some quick pointers to guide you along the right path.
Before you start anything do your research and the first place to hit is the industries message boards. Here you will feel the pulse of the industry from new and seasoned inspectors. Go to local chapter meetings. When you have completed that first step and feel you still want to become an inspector research your local community and see if it can support another inspector at this time. In the big urban areas this is not as much a factor as it is in rural areas.
If you are still interested then it is time to research your education. Research your home inspector schools, not all are created equal. Pick the best one that fits your budget. If you have a trades background you'll have a leg up, but remember building, repairs and installation are different animals than inspecting. If you do not have a trades background it's time to hit the books and read on everything about the systems of a home.
You should also join a national association, the three biggies in the U.S. are the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, American Society of Home Inspectors and National Association Of Home Inspectors. In Canada you have the Canadian National Association of Certified Home Inspectors and Canadian Association of Property and Home Inspectors. For dollar value I think InterNACHI is the best with the amount of free education and member benefits they offer inspectors. Many states and provinces have their regional associations as well, think about joining them they represent you at a local level.
Now that you are on your way to becoming a home inspector, another item that should be in your arsenal is your reporting software. The most popular are Home Inspector Pro, Home Gauge and 3D. I personally use HIP because of it's ease of use. The other inspecting programs are just as good. You need to research which one will suit your needs. They all offer free trial downloads so that you can experiment with them. Remember, you definitely need software, checklists are so 80's and 90's that they scream newbie. Also get a website that matches your software. In this day and age of online shopping you are basically dead without one.
I have given you some reality checks and some pointers even though I did not touch on many things that will effect you, that is part of your research assignment about entering the property inspection field. Remember my warning, this isn't a get rich quick scheme, instead it is a lot of hard work and long hours. If anyone tells you differently they are doing you a disservice. So take off those rose colored glasses, get down to some hard work and a lot of studying, some heart breaking moments which will eventually be followed by elation and join me in this wonderful world of home inspections.
