Schulman sets double-digit sales and earnings growth targets
2:30 PM MDT | April 16, 2014 | Vincent Valk
A. Schulman has announced that it is aiming to grow sales by 10-11%/year through 2018, to $3.6-$3.7 billion. The company is also aiming to grow adjusted earnings by an average of 19-20%/year through 2018, to $4.50-$4.75/share, and adjusted Ebitda by 17-18%/year in the same timeframe, to $270-284 million. Schulman is also aiming to achieve a 15-16% return on invested capital (ROIC) by 2018. "Our long-term targets are based largely on our expectations for continued success with our organic initiatives and acquisition strategy, combined with our financial...

CA hounds seeking suggestions near hwys 17 & 101, also 10 & 17
Hello Phoenix hounds,
Spousette & I will be coming into town (from Berkeley) to visit relatives, including cousins who live just northeast of the intersection of highways 17 & 101. We want to take them out to dinner but googling reveals only a zillion franchises. Their suggestion is Mellow Mushroom. Can we do better?
Nothing too adventurous -- we have some elders who rarely eat anything non-Chinese, & the cousins are not foodies.
Budget to moderate -- say under $20/entree.
We would prefer not to drive all over the place to dinner, but if there really is nothing in that neighborhood, we'd rather go a little bit out of the way for good food.
Also we are not big meat-eaters, so don't send us to a steakhouse or burger place ;)
Also, we will be staying w/ granny off Hwy 10, exit 139 (51st Av.) if you have any suggestions around there for general noshing apart from the above dinner.
Thanks in advance for any & all suggestions!
I don't have the knowhow to make suggestions about the northern area, but you're in luck; one of our most discriminating Chowhounds knows the area and probably has many non-chain suggestions. I know that not to far west of there is Arrowhead Grill. Paging Rubee -?
51st Ave and I-10 doesn't have a ton outside of truck stops, but due north several miles beween 51st and 59th Ave on Glendale Ave is the downtown district of the city of Glendale, and there are some really good finds there, nothing I'd steer people away from. La Piazza Al Forno is a certified VPN Napoli-style pizza place, A Taste of European bakery and cafe, Haus Murphy for good homey German food. All pretty casual, nothing too exotic.
re: themis
Thanks so much! Will check out Glendale! -- I always did want to know where the closest good-food neighborhood was from granny's :)
I looked at the Arrowhead Grill menu -- not quite what we are looking for since we don't really eat steak, & coming from West Coast it doesn't make sense to eat seafood in Phoenix. So, eagerly awaiting more northern tips....
Thanks Themis!
I'm sure this is too late, but agree with Themis on her suggestions for the Glendale spots. Mellow Mushroom is actually one of the better choices in the Happy Valley Center as that area has mainly chains.
I should add that one of the reasons I'm a fan of Arrowhead Grill is because it's not a typical steakhouse with just steaks and seafood. You can order entrees such as beef stroganoff, soy-glazed steak with wasabi mashed potatoes, or a wood-fire roasted chicken carved tableside and sides like hominy with bacon or grits, for example, and I love their green chile burger.Some of my favorite apps are clam chowder, deviled eggs, or grilled artichokes. Sides I often order as my entree are shrimp and grits, green chili mac and cheese, or lobster mashed potatoes.
Arrowhead Grill
8280 West Union Hills Road, Glendale, AZ 85308
If you're OK with cheap and cheerful, an excellent possibility is Chino Bandido, a few miles south of there on 19th Avenue and Greenway. I've never seen anything like the place. It's TOTALLY no frills quick service; order at the counter, and your food comes out in a foil to-go tray, with plastic forks and disposable chopsticks. They serve Mexican and Chinese food, together if you wish. We're talking egg foo yung quesadillas if you're so inclined. And dinner comes with a complimentary snickerdoodle.
Oh, let them know it's your first time there (although they usually figure it out quickly from the confused stare of people encountering the menu for the first time), they have samples of a bunch of the most popular dishes.

I have been looking for this recipe for years. My grandmother use to make this cake. It was my favorite. My grandmother would not measure anything. I don't know how she did it, but the burnt sugar cake always came out perfect everytime. Thank you.
The texture of this cake was great, and I liked it quite a bit with a thin vanilla sugar glaze. But I brought it to a party, and nobody liked it! I had to explain to people that it was supposed to taste like caramel, but nobody was sold. I'm certainly not going to make it again.

Regarding Hollybells frosting request; A caramel or sometimes called burnt sugar frosting is what I have always used on this and spice cakes. Caramel Frosting V by Carol from this site looks like a possible good choice.
This cake didn't even need frosting. I made it in a bundt pan, and simply dusted it with a little powdered sugar. My friends begged me to take large pieces home with them. I let them - I was afraid I'd eat the rest of the cake by myself, in one sitting!
A great recipe! I didn't frost the cake - it was moist and fluffy. As I took it to my work, my co-workers asked what tasty spice it would contain - they couldn't believe it was just burnt sugar. The taste reminded of German Spekulatius. To prevent the crust from tasting bitter, you should be careful not to let it get too dark. And one of my co-workers suggested to make the caramel syrup by cooking the sugar with the water from the beginning on, as I told her it bubbled up very high when I added the water to the boiling sugar. I would definitely make the cake again and try the suggested caramel procedure. Thanks for the recipe!
I made this for my husband's borthday and the whole thing was gone within 24 hours. Simply fabulous!
Tender, delicate, mild-flavored cake. I thought it grand with just a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Others thought it would be best with some type of frosting. I would love frosting recommendations from anyone reviewing this recipe-
As a child, we used to get burnt sugar cakes for our birthday and i remember them being excellent. This recipe did not disappoint my image of that brown delicious burnt sugar cake. I added a buttercream icing with a teaspoon of maple extract to top this feast. I took this to a bbq and everyone loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!

Here's what I do not understand. Myself, and a number of other posters here, watch the OL play, with everyone agreeing that Jake and Cog are not good fits to the ZBS. For me, if it's for $1.5M or $15M, I do not want to keep Jake and want to move on with this WCO. We have three athletic guys on the OL in Pouncey, Martin, and Jerry. Why not add at least a 4th, and spend the money on someone who fits and can make some plays?

Gallery: TEST DRIVE: Inhabitat Tests the Real-World Mileage of the 2012...
It's inconceivable that an automaker could advance 10 years in automotive technology and build a car with half the fuel mileage of its predecessor, unless it were a radically different car. Well, it turns out that the new Insight, reintroduced in 2010, is a radically different design. The first Insights were two-seaters with a long shallow hatchback trunk, no air conditioning, and bodies made out of super-light materials to save weight. Everything that could be done to save fuel was done to these early cars. But Honda wanted to bring back a car that would have more mass appeal to consumers, so the two-seater became a family-friendly 5-seater, the air conditioning was added back in, and the car got more power to please the new buyers that weren't part of the hypermiler set. Honda offset these weighty additions with modern fuel-saving technologies such as the car's ECON ASSIST button that throttles the gas and modifies the air conditioning and other systems to automatically maximize fuel efficiency. The Insight also now has a start-stop feature that puts it in EV mode when at a full stop, and the body uses Honda's latest weight-saving techniques and aerodynamics.
Still, with average driving and using the ECON ASSIST button only about 70% of the time, we averaged 40 miles per gallon, exactly what the new Insight is rated for. It's not bad fuel economy, but we still had hoped for better from a car that feels somewhat underpowered. We were ready to gripe about the fact that we used a half tank of gas with just one week of driving, until we filled up for a paltry $16.50 and discovered the Insight's gas tank is Chevy Volt-sized, at just 8 gallons. Even driving the Insight carelessly and impatiently for 175 miles, we still only used 4.4 gallons of gas. That's not bad, really. The hypermilers could do much better. So, after a week of living with the little Insight, we finally fell in love with it, or at least in like. It offers navigation, satellite radio, air conditioning, 5 seats, and a spacious trunk and still manages to be reasonably efficient. Plus, the Insight is not only a radically different design from the original: it is a radically different price, too. The 2011 Honda Insight currently retails for a starting price of $18,200-$23,265, which puts it at half the cost of an equivalent plug-in Prius or Chevy Volt. Now that's eco and frugal, something we love very much indeed.

The CR-Z actually has a more powerful internal combustion engine as the insight, its just the hybrid portion that they share. That's why the CR-Z gets worse mileage. Also, the manual version is a 6 speed, not a 5 speed
My average for the past 7000 miles in my CR-Z has been 43.2mpg, and I almost never put it in eco mode, just normal or sport.

40 MPG does seem a little…meh. But for a sedan is supposed to be able to seat 5, that is better than 10 years ago.

Is there a parallel in the human reaction to color as there is in the reaction to their corresponding acoustic frequencies?
This summer I stumbled over the realization that the equal-tempered acoustic scale fits very neatly into the visual spectrum of light. ... Too neatly. I mean that, when converted from Hz into wavelength, acoustic tones have one corresponding color: (rougly) F2 - violet; E2 - edging on dark blue; D2 - baby blue; C2- Kelly-ish green; B1 - light yellow; A - orange; G - red).
Now I'm beginning to consider that perhaps the two - light and sound - may have other parallels. Based on what you know about how color affects human behavior, is there any evidence to suggest that the same affect happens with that color's corresponding acoustic note? (and vice versa)
EXAMPLE: If we now that the color red is known to make consumers hungry, does a G have a similar effect on people?
Please expand this topic.
Feb 5 2013: I am naturally synaesthetic in a high degree. I have always understood that this type of cross-over is usually present in babies'. brains, but that in most people these connections are gradually lost - some retain them.
I do have very unusual (fragile) membranes as I have a serious connective tissue disorder (Marfan Syndrome). I am highly sensitive to both sound and colour(and also scent), to the point where I have to limit my level of stimulation.
I would like to say that the whole subject is, I feel, extremely complex. First of all there is the question of 'which blue'?, also what does one person mean by 'blue', especially 'light blue' dark blue' 'bright blue'...etc....A lot of people are not clear about the difference between hue and tonal value.
Then there is the subjectivity involved in the translation of the aural frequencies. I have never met someone else who sees the same as I do to the same notes,or indeed who is affected in exactly the same way by a specific piece of music. Incidentally the most beautiful and the most rewarding pieces for my synaesthesia are late Beethoven, and sacred or chamber works of Mozart. But I also can see just a sequence of ordinary sounds in colours, at times.
There is also another complexity which is to do with the scientific properties of colours and pigments. I.e. if, say,a piece of cloth is appearing red to us, it is actually mostly absorbing green light, depending on its saturation. Is it not also a 'green' vibration therefore? It's a matter of naming. For me, middle C is a dark red, and G is a clear green, like a cobalt green. 'A ' is a pure blue - in my terms! I do also play my piano, and close my eyes sometimes and play to the colours I see. It is painful if the piano is out of tune! (My father had what is known as perfect pitch, and was a pure mathematician, I don't know if that is of interest- I think being sensitive to vibration and geometric form is linked).
I hope this is useful and of interestJan 26 2013: As for visual frequencies, known as colors, I have no such drastic examples of having its impact on us, yet I was mainly referring to short-term cause and effect cycles, which may not apply here.
I could imagine, that an all 'Grey in Grey' environment will have an incriminatory effect on our mood and mental health. Probably that's why I don't like big cities, as only farmed and artificially arranged parts of nature called 'parks' are just not enough for my liking ... :o)
There is just a funny and 'short-term working' use of color I know and came to know about it within a company I once worked for, which was in the steel-industry. There they introduced the color 'pink' to mark dangerous areas of the machinery in order to prevent and lower serious accidents of their workers.
I was told, that especially men react 'alarmed' when exposed to the color pink, at least more alarmed as to the usual markings of the yellow and black stripes. My question if this reaction of my gender could somehow be related to traumatic childhood experiences in which 'little and nagging sisters', dressed in pink, did play a major role in them, has never been answered ... :o)
Any pink colored part on this machine - it is a cold rolling mill - is a moving part and therefore dangerous to those who operate it, especially to those having a lot of routine. I assume, that this coloration would not have the same effect on woman, possibly even on the contrary, yet I never came across a woman who was operating a rolling mill. And if I would have, so would I have questioned the efficiency of this coloration ... :o)
Personally pink does not put me in 'alert mode', even though I have to admit that it does not range among my favorite colors. But I grew up with a older brother only, which may support my theory ... :o)Jan 26 2013: For some reasons two attempts to add another comment below didn't work, so I will placed it here to avoid another loss ... :o)
On infra-sound an experiment has been conducted in the UK in 2003, named the 'Infrasonic 17 Hz tone experiment' :
which is a good example of how much we can be influenced by external frequencies.
And not just we. As elephants and whales are suspected to use infra-sound for long-distance communication, especially whales can become a victim of being receptive also for other bands of frequencies, especially high intensity sonar, which is often used on navy vessels.
With frequencies ranging from 50 Hz up to 100 kHz, to gain finer resolution in water.mine tracking, some of those frequencies and intensities are expected to be 'receivable' and 'transformable' into painful sensation of certain whale species and the size and shape of their jawbone, which act as 'antenna' to cause their troubles.
Whale stranding is no natural phenomenon and a good indicator for openly held or hidden naval-manoeuvres.
By this beautiful talk by Douglas Adams, starting at 0:43:36, I became aware of a similar problem which the Baiji, a Yangtze river dolphin, is facing:
and took it as a reminder, that judging by ones own senses and environmental conditions only is not enough for all of our species.
As non-lethal weapons, sonic weapons have already been developed and are reported to have been used even during the Occupy turmoil in NY and to scatter large groups of protesters. The weapon used is called LRAD, which stands for Long Range Acoustic Device, and I am certain that the non-lethal aspect was not just the only one during its development, as the military industry is known to know no limits ...
So next time we go protesting, we bring our ear muffs, which probably become illegal soon to be worn in public ... :o)Jan 24 2013: Looked again and did find something this time:
Jan 24 2013: I admit this is one article that fueled this question! Glad we're on the same track.Jan 24 2013: The phenomenon of synaesthesia, which somewhat goes in your direction is, as much as I know about it, which isn't much, individual only:
As well as the beauty of most colors and tones are just in the 'eye of the beholder' ... :o)
For some reasons there seem to be 'exceptions' though which are interesting and definitely worth to find out more about them.
The color green is known to have a 'calming' effect on people - as it is a dominant color in nature - and already used in many factories around the world, in which machines, cabinets and other equipment is colored this way. Red, representing blood, is the choice for dangerous and risky elements.
So we seem to come with some evolutionary preferences in our luggage, yet different from colors a tone does not stand as much just for itself and as isolated frequency. Here we have either combinations, which is known as music and triggers a 'like' or 'dislike' or they come in a mixture of frequencies, such as the sound of a heart beat, which highly effects us yet also comes in rhythms as a sequence of sounds.
What was astonishing to me for sound was to read that the purring of a cat is assumed to have 'healing supportive' characteristics, and that cats 'purr' also in situations without joy or relaxation, such as giving birth and to recover from a broken bone. I could not find more about it on the internet yet I do remember that purring even speeds up the 'growing process' of bones during recovery, which, as a predator, can be quite relevant in nature. If those physical influences of sound could be demonstrated and transferred to humans, as well as those of light, we may learn a lot more about us as we currently do ... :o)
Jan 24 2013: Synaesthesia is definitely one of the primary triggers for my turn down this particular vein of thought. What started as a question at eleven years old ("Did what my Mom listen to while she was pregnant with me shape what I like in music now?) has found me here, now, in a state of total awe at the remarkable ways that the ear-brain system affects us, most of the time invisibly. I want to embrace the synaesthetic mind to help people learn better.
I do have a range of other questions that are related, albeit distantly, to this one. I'm excited to hear your take on my extrapolation of sound on other senses:
- Do humans distinctly prefer music that employs a rhythm that resembles the human heartbeat? If so, why? I definitely think there may be something to the omnipresence of a mother's heartbeat in the developing fetus for 3/4 a year that could impact what we find nurturing, comfortable, and relaxing. Conversely, do we grow ever more uncomfortable as we are subject to music or environments that distances itself from homeostatic pulses? Example: Do people like 4/4 pop music in a range of 72-110 bpm over math rock that sometimes employs a 5/8 time signature with bpm ranging 165+ bpm because the former better resembles our own natural pulses? (Bare with my terribly messy questions.)
- Is there something naturally annoying to us about microwaves, vacuums, cars, televisions, etc because the frequencies they operate in are much higher (in octave) than what we would find in a machine-free world?
The "machine-free world" being the natural one humans have evolved in.
- That leads me to another basic question: has the human mind created feelings of happiness around the sonic mechanics of the natural world (e.g. binaural effects from wind through trees, ocean surf, etc)? I suppose this would be an evolutionary take. If not, how has the mind developed keen ways to relax the mind?
We really ought to be having this conversation in real-time. These questions are endless.
Jan 26 2013: I have to admit that I've never made consciously such deep connections between visual and hearable frequencies like you are doing, even though as a mechanical engineer I was working on both fields multiple times. Yet I have my doubts that a 'synaesthetic mind' was able to be taught or trained to 'help people learn better', as it seems to be an 'abnormal' yet natural condition which needs a certain 'wiring' within a brain for it to work. As the 'auditive cortex' and the 'visual cortex' are no direct 'neighbors' a connection made in between them and their 'association areas' seems to me beyond our capacity of intentional 're-wiring', which we call learning. The only possible way I can think of to 'bypass' some of our internal filters and 'border guards' if we are no borne synaesthetics may be certain hallucinogenic drugs and their effects are neither 'controllable' nor in any way to be kept permanent... at least those we may wish for ... :o)
What you call your 'terribly messy questions' is nothing but fine and scientific curiosity and it only appears messy unless your discover their answers... :o)
Thanks to you I now now about the existence of 'math rock' which I have never heard before so I did some listening and viewing to get a sense of what you were referring to. Not all of it seems to be easily 'dance-able', at least in a common fashion, which to me is a 'measure' of synchronization towards my personal inner 'rhythm'. And when I found this brave guy on youtube, I knew it could become difficult to me as well ... :o)
Compared to this much slower Hip Hop song:
the dance itself can gain way more speed even in between the beat while staying synced within the overall rhythm.
Yet both examples may just represent extremes and we should asked good choreographer what can be done for math rock by applying professionalism ... :o)
... to be continued.Jan 26 2013: I think most humans prefer music that 'resembles the human heartbeat', as we are clocked beings after all. You as a female even more than I as a male, given the menstrual cycle, which, in its timespan, resembles the moon cycle and could be taken as a good example of 'synchronization' towards our evolutionary background.
Drummers and percussionists who play in groups have no other choice but to synchronize their 'inner' clock to stay tuned and because of this and with a good combination in interpersonal 'chemistry' they report to be able to become 'one' all together and to get in 'flow' as a whole group. They can even 'communicate' with one another by subtle yet added 'top waves' which probably stays unnoticed for passive listeners. Any you can be certain, that all their heartbeats synced, or at least are on harmonic levels, as otherwise this 'flow' would not occur. I once was able to talk to a drummer about this, his experience and he reported, that there are days on which the group could not synchronize and therefore ended the training.
So 'synchronization' and 'resonance' seem to be natural yet individual abilities we possess, as we arose within a clocked universe. Day/night, the seasons, mealtimes, sleep cycles are just a view and rather coarse clocked cycles we are exposed to and part of and there are several others we may not even have realized for ourselves.
Our 'mirror neurons' may be another example of synchronization in between two personal 'frequencies', which seem to establish a more effective 'inter-personal' exchange or cause the opposite if one refuses to sync accordingly. Yawning is a beautiful example of becoming 'unwillingly willingly' an echo-chamber towards a person we like, or at least 'don't mind', as it never becomes 'infectious' to us with people we have personal 'issues' with ... :o)
... to be continued.Jan 26 2013: What we know in music about harmony, is probably a window into our human 'frequency settings' and besides to the music of the traditional Chinese theater, it seems to apply almost anywhere on this planet ... :o)
For the so called 'new' or 'experimental music, such as those of György Ligeti, I am probably just not intelligent enough to get the hang of it and to understand the message, if there is any at all. Also many 'sound sculptures' or 'sound installations' are way beyond my simple mind, so I walk just by them in order to escape ... :o)
About the whole electromagnetic spectrum of waves I am still not certain if and how it effects us, as I found it to be a very controversial field among scientists and that it became necessary to know who financed which study and what 'outcome' was 'wished for' by whom. And because of this and the fact, that I didn't dig deep into this matter, I just assume that we are influenceable by those wave-forms yet without knowing to which extend.
Since I am on this planet I have always been penetrated by our 'man-made' signals, so I have no comparison how I would feel if there were just the natural ones. Yet I am very careful about any 'new age' views on 'waves' of all sorts, as I have my doubts about the sources of their 'knowledge'.
Yet I consider the noise of our industrial world as almost all 'unhealthy' to us, as most of them are 'just' byproducts and have neither been considered enough nor designed to meet our general tendencies. But the term 'noise' is to coarse to distinguish all possible forms of it and as you mentioned the 'wind through trees' and the 'ocean surf' those are perfect examples that some sort of noise can have a calming effect on us.
So far I had three experiences in my life in which a sudden absence of noise almost 'screamed' in my mind, to stress the illogicalness of this picture, which made me understand the level of which I am used to a constant surrounding and random 'murmur'.
to be continued ...Jan 26 2013: Deserts are known to trigger this effect and are feared for this by many. And because there is no desert in Germany where I grew up and live now, I had to stumble across an old 'bomb crater' in a forest, in which I walked to get 'cut off' any audible noise. Another time there was a night in heavy snowfall and no vehicle on the streets moving. And because snow falls silently to the human ear and possesses a tremendous sound-damping ability, it was just all silent all around me. But as you are from Alaska, what am I telling you? :o) And once I lived in the basement of an old manor with walls more than a meter thick, which, in my first night, made me hear and realize the swoosh of my very blood in my ears. That much and constantly we are wrapped in waves, that the absence of those which are audible, can put us on hold for a moment.
To certain noise patterns like 'pink' or 'white' noise the human brain seem to be receptive, as if it triggered some sort of 'cleaning' or 'resetting' to our neural patterns. And as the intrinsic nature of our thinking is 'electric', almost exclusively, it would be even surprising if we weren't influenceable by matching, stimulating yet external wave sources in its pure and un-composed character.
I once read an article about a family, which all of the sudden started to feel noticeably 'uncomfortable' all of the sudden in their apartment and this for no obvious and detectable reasons. They reported 'racing hearts', 'indisposition' and difficulties to focus and concentrate on something. Several investigations later the source of all this was found in a nearby factory, in which a new machine was installed which produced a certain yet inaudible infra-sound on very low frequencies, which traveled far enough to reach their home. And after some arguments with the company, some decoupling of machine parts and the installation of damping measures, the families life turned back to normal again.
to be continued ...Jan 24 2013: The purring thing also related to my observations living in a "concrete jungle" this summer.
I moved to New York from Alaska and found that there is absolutely no respite from concrete and my feet began to hurt faster than it would in Alaska - where I can take dirt trails home or (a lot of the year) walk through snow. I applied what I know about how sound interacts with materials to this new lifestyle and realized that my new feet and knee problems are definitely from these New York streets. The facts: when a sound wave encounters a material, it will fraction to a certain degree and change course depending on the hardness of the material. Wood absorbs much of a sound wave, letting a lot of the energy of a sound wave to split off of the original and travel along the surface of the wood. However, for materials like concrete, very little of the energy in a sound wave is lost when it hits, sending most if it right back. And, since human walking is a vibration - consisting of a frequency and energy just like sound, despite being inaudible -, I can conclude that humans living on a harder material will feel the repercussions of continually reabsorbing that energy. I think this is what is damaging my feet and knees as they absorb this extra energy, acting as collateral.
Would you say you agreed with my line of thinking here?
Jan 26 2013: Moving from Alaska to New York must have been a 'cultural shock' in several ways to you... :o)
And as I was told one either 'like' this city or 'don't' I found myself 'undecided' and was just missing nature which I prefer to live in or close by. But I was just visiting and did not live there, which probably one need to do to become certain about the 'big apple'.. :o)
Again you made me reconsider, as I have never seen 'walking' as a form of 'vibration'. But that's what it is, seen in a wider perspective, and your feet and knee problems are most likely caused by the amount of concrete you are walking, as your joints and skeleton isn't yet used to it. Different shoes can make a big difference here to restore some of the damping you left in Alaska, and at least it gives you a perfect 'excuse' that you have no choice this time to buy yet another pair... :o)
To your 'line of thinking' I agree partially, as even though the process of walking may be seen as vibration, this new encountered symptoms are caused by a repetitive pattern of direct forces which probably overload the cartilage tissue in your joints by directly impacting it and to which it has not adapted yet. Structure-borne sound is not the main cause of this pain here, even though it will be generated in your bones any time your feet hit the ground, yet it will be the smallest portion of force your joints have to deal with at the moment. And as time heals all wounds, it will just be a matter of it, when your cartilage tissue and bone structure adapts to let you walk pain-free the streets of NY... :o)
Also I do not consider the human walking to be inaudible, on the contrary, as this is the cause why we finally invented 'sneaking'... :o)
After all this comments of today, which is my record on TED so far, I will close by wishing you to get well soon! :o)Jan 23 2013: Interesting hyphothesis although I wasn't aware of any crossover in the brain for audio and video analysis.
Also, your assumption of the relationship between colours and sounds may not be the direct one that you propose.
For instance, I am a fan of G but not Red. To me G is more of a Green and Bflat is Blue, ESharp is definetly Red.
Also, from an accoustical point of view, we appreciate combinations of sounds (chords, progressions and particularly resolutions) I have never considered the same blending of colours to have the same effect.
Jan 24 2013: I have been undertaking much reading that examines synaesthesia - the relationship people make between two senses. Some are born with a savant-like tendency to relate one to the other (i.e. using colors to do math) while others can develop it throughout their lives and journeys in music - interestingly, particularly music.
Also, you're right - the harmonics of the audible spectrum doesn't transcribe at all when considering the visual spectrum.

Jan 22 2013: Well, perhaps you are thinking about how playing music helps those with severe dementia and alzheimers. It's not a specific music, like how Mozart improves test scores and gives a short term bump in IQ (and perhaps more long term when used consistently with infants - still unknown)
- 0
the problem with the dementia & alzheimers cases are that the music must be something that they can relate to and enjoy. One might like big band music while another likes Elvis Presley and yet another enjoys Mozart.
If not this, then perhaps you could make your question more understandable? :-)
Jan 24 2013: I want to know how much we know about the eye-brain systems can be applied to the ear-brain system.
I'm sorry my implications tends to fall short on forums like Ted despite its prestige as a forum among social networks. I really ought to be in the same room with others so as to immediately clarify or pursue an idea someone has as it comes up.Jan 26 2013: Do you know why this simple yet effective recording technique, which is used for 'binaural beats', did not become a general quality standard for music recordings?
I served the net yet could not find any music in any style but a view yet uninteresting examples, as the majority of my findings seems to be 'reserved' for 'new age' applications only.
In case you know a source, I would be thankful if you would share it.

We had a quiz in class today where we had to break the ciphertext with the key given, but not the algorithm. Suffice to say that I wasn't able to decrypt it within the alloted time of 12 mins and will probably get a 0 on the quiz. So, I was just wondering if there are some kind of standard techniques that are followed when decrypting a simple substitution ciphertext.
When trying to break an unknown cipher, one first needs to figure out what kind of cipher one it is. Generally, a good starting point would be to start with the most common and well known classical ciphers, eliminate those that obviously don't fit, and try the remaining ones to see if any of them might work.
An obvious first step is to look at the ciphertext alphabet: does the ciphertext consist of letters (and if so, in what alphabet), numbers, abstract symbols or some combination of those? If it's letters, does it include spaces, punctuation or case distinctions — and, if it does, do they look like they're also scrambled somehow, or are they perhaps just left as they are in the plaintext?
Compiling a letter (or symbol) frequency table of the ciphertext, and comparing it to the corresponding table of plain English text, can often yield information about the general type of cipher one is dealing with:
Knowing whether the cipher has a key or not, and what form the key takes (word, number, sequence of numbers, etc.) can also help reduce the range of possibilities. For example, let's say that the ciphertext is uppercase letters with no spaces or punctuation, and that we know it has a key which is a word or a short phrase. That narrows down the likely choices quite a bit:
Since you already know what the key is supposed to be, testing each cipher should be pretty straightforward: just try to decrypt the message with the key and see if the output makes sense.
Note that, in some cases, effort can be shared between ciphers. For example, the Vigenère and autokey ciphers are identical for the beginning of the message; they only start to behave differently when the end of the keyword is reached. It may also be a good idea to try simple variants of these ciphers, such as switching the encryption and decryption rules around; some of them work equally well in both directions, and may have been used so.
A substitution cipher consist of a mapping from letters in the alphabet to letters in the alphabet (not necessarily the same alphabet, but probably is in this case). There are many forms that a key can take on. Ones I've seen in practice are:
You then substitute by finding the letter in the first row and going down the the second row.
Since you were given the key, chances are you had to use one of these methods (or possibly another) to come up with the mapping.
If it is a simple substitution cipher, there are a few standard techniques:

I made this tonight, and it was great. I didn't have the peanut oil, and potato starch, so I substituted canola oil, and corn starch. My husband, and I loved it. It wasn't that time consuming to make, but it definetly was a good deal of clean up.
Lacking in flavor, this was neither sweet nor sour. I followed the recipe almost exactly--just adding some carrots and celery to fill out the veggie content. Sweet and Sour Pork III is a much tastier and easier recipe and I will be going back to it for my sweet and sour fix next time.

We moved to the midwest from CA some years ago and get serious unfulfilled cravings for decent Chinese food - finally I decided I would just have to learn to cook it myself. This recipe was my first attempt and it was actually very good! It was all the wonderful flavors I remember from Chinese restaurants on the coast and WAY better than any of the slop they sell out here.
I made some minor changes depending on what I had to work with. I couldn't find potato starch to save my life, so I used tempura flour / rice flour. It seemed to fall off a bit during frying so I'd try the potato starch if you can get it, but the pork still turned out great and what remained of the batter was delicious. I added in baby carrots with the other veggies as I love carrots in my sweet and sour pork - they were great! I thought the sauce needed a little extra citrus kick, a little perking up and brightening, so I added about 1/4 cup of grapefruit juice that I had in the fridge and it was just awesome and perfect. Finally I couldn't find any hot peppers at any grocers here (you see what I mean about where I live) so I went with dried ground cayenne. It was a bit too spicy, not quite the right flavor... but still good. If you have to use the dried spice stuff instead of fresh, it will work and be tasty, just make sure you don't overdo it.
As far as the recipe goes, it was delightful! It was a lot of work to do but none of it was difficult to manage. The pork turned out WONDERFUL, crunchy on the o
Was looking for recipe to use up some pork i had that was defrosted and this popped up, so decided to take a chance with this recipe only having one review.
Well just finished making this dish, and i can say i will definitely make it again.
Awesome dish.
I went lighter on the oil and only used about 1/2cup for cooking, and coated my pork is flour instead of potato starch because that was what i had on hand (yeah even ran out of corn starch as well)
and opted for apple cider vinegar for a bit more flavor.
definitely give this recipe a try
Thanks, Betsy - Great recipe! I have another excellent S&S Pork recipe from this site, but was intrigued with the double-frying of the pork in this one. Being a true carnivore, I used 2+ pounds of pork (boneless country ribs, trimmed of fat), so I doubled the marinade and the egg for dredging. Everything else was kept as written. The pork bits had a very nice crunch to them and the sauce was not the sickeningly-sweet stuff that so many recipes make. At first, I thought there might be a little too much vinegar in the sauce, but even that ended up just right. I served the sauce over rice, topped that with the pork bits, then drizzled a little more sauce over the pork. My guest said she has never had such well balanced flavor in a sweet and sour dish. PS: I really couldn't tell the difference in the crunch between the pork bits that had been fried twice versus those that had had taken only one trip through the hot oil, but it may be more in the way they absorb (or rather, do not absorb) the sauce.
This was awesome! Thanks for a great recipe, Betsy. I used cornstarch in place of potato starch and simply rolled the marinated pork pieces directly in it, skipping the egg bath. This worked out well and saved significant time. I also forewent the double frying of the pork. Even after these modifications, this was still a 5 star recipe all the way. Bravo!
I have been yearning for a sweet & sour recipe that rivals my favorite Chinese restaurant in London's Chinatown, and I think I have found it! I improvised a bit to assure the meat would stay crispy by only adding the meat on top of the sauce at serving time (not stirring it in and cooking as the recipe states). I also improvised due to the lack of some of the ingredients. I stir fried the bell pepper with carrots and yellow onions, and my pineapple substitute was pineapple chutney but I could have skipped it all together as the sauce was sweet enough without it. Thanks Betsey for a new way to cook the same old pork chop!
Yummy! I did have the potato starch (also called potato flour) and never did anything with it, so this recipe was an eye opener for it's use. The potato starch makes it really crispy, instead of soggy like regular wheat flour can get once it is mixed with a sauce. The only changes I made was that I used a small onion that I did a rough 1/2" chop on instead of the green onions and I left out the cayenne peppers, only because I didn't have them. I suppose I could have substituted some Siracha hot sauce, but it was so good without it, I didn't add it. I also used half a red bell pepper in addition to the green pepper. I would suggest that you do all of your chopping ahead of time so that when your frying is done you are ready to stir fry the veggies. My husband loved it, and thinks it's better than a restaurant dish!

ETSU Baseball begins 2003 season with two wins over Xavier
Sunday, February 16, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 16, 2003) - The East Tennessee State Buccaneer Baseball team began the 2003 season on Sunday by defeating Xavier, 6-5 and 8-3, in two games of a scheduled tripleheader Sunday from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. The teams were to play three games on Sunday, but the third game was called due to rain before it was official. All three games were scheduled to be seven innings, but game one took a little longer to settle. Xavier (0-2) took a 4-0 lead after scoring a single run in the second inning and three runs in the third. But the Bucs (2-0) came alive in the bottom of the sixth inning, scoring four runs to knot up the game. Sophomore shortstop Justin Clear (LaFollette, Tenn.) walked with the bases loaded to force in senior first baseman Chad Boruff (Knoxville, Tenn.). Junior second baseman Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) then doubled with the bases loaded to score Clear, sophomore outfielder Kevin Brotherton (Erwin, Tenn.) and junior outfielder Bo Calloway (Knoxville, Tenn.). Xavier took the lead back with a single run in the top of the eighth inning. But the Bucs answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the frame. On a Calloway groundout, pinch runner Troy Moock (Baton Rouge, La.) came home from third. Brotherton topped off a four-hit afternoon in dramatic fashion with a clutch, two-out RBI single, driving in sophomore third baseman Mike Giroud (St. Petersburg, Fla.) in the bottom of the 11th inning to give ETSU the win. Senior reliever Jarrod Hyder (Elizabethton, Tenn.) picked up the win, after pitching five innings and allowing just five hits and one earned run while striking out six. ETSU starting junior pitcher Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) pitched the first six innings and struck out eight batters. Brotherton went 4-for-6 with a run scored and an RBI while Calloway went 2-for-3 a run scored and an RBI in game one. "I am so proud of how our kids played hard and did not panic in coming back in game one," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole following the game. "Jarrod Hyder was phenomenal, as he normally is, and Tim Turner pitched great once he settled in." The Buccaneers continued their momentum in game two, scoring five runs in the first inning and receiving a stellar effort from freshman starting pitcher Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.). Boruff led off the scoring with a three-run homer, driving in Brotherton and Giroud. Brotherton came through again in the second inning, doubling down the left field line to score Calloway and Howdeshell. Xavier got on the board with a single run in the top of the fifth, but again the Bucs responded with two runs of their own in the bottom of the frame. Giroud singled down the left field line to score Brotherton and then scored on an infield hit freshman designated hitter Beau Alford (Johnson City, Tenn.). The two teams exchanged runs in the sixth, and the Musketeers scored a run in the top of the seventh to provide the final 8-3 margin of victory. Calicutt (1-0) won his first collegiate decision after pitching 5.1 innings, allowing just one hit and striking out six. "Calicutt was great," said Skole. "He has a calm demeanor and he throws all of his pitches for strikes. He has a chance to be a very special player." Brotherton went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBIs in game two. Calloway had two hits in three at-bats, scoring twice. The Bucs will return to action on Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m. against SEC foe Vanderbilt from Nashville, Tenn.

Does setting my weapon view in Valve's first-person shooter game Counter-Strike: Source to "left-handed"(in first person it puts your weapon on the left side of the screen) change how other players see me? Will it change how my gun is held in third person mode? Is it only clientside?

No it does not change how others see you.
However, it will change everyone for you.
If you're viewing yourself as left handed, you'll also see everyone else as left handed.
It works the same way for right handedness, everyone else will see you as they see themselves.
The 3rd person character model does not change at all either way.
Changing to 'left-handed' does not affect the character model. Your gun will still appear to be held in the right hand.

Okay, so, growing up, I went to a small private school for 14 years (pre-k, k, 1-12th grade). I think by graduation we had around 95 kids and that was the biggest class in the history of the school. When I started there in 1986, the class of 2000 was substantially smaller. I don't really remember what year Doug Mand started, but I'm *pretty* sure it was relatively early on. I know he wasn't a "high school"-only person and I'm pretty sure he started before middle school (some might call it junior high). Anyway, the point is, I met him a long time ago and we were in a small group interacting on a daily basis. And even though I don't really consider myself to be a friend of his because we never hung out with the same crowd, I know one thing about Doug Mand: he is one funny dude. Even for the people who might not have liked him (I don't know any, just theorizing), I don't think anyone could possibly claim he wasn't funny.
Also, for some reason, my class had tons of artsy people in it. I don't mean that in a bad way, I just mean they like the performing arts. Everything from music to acting to writing. I was just waiting to start to see them turning up in entertainment because it's just inevitable that talent will usually rise to the top.
So, getting to the point of this post. My friend/former neighbor Eric Strauss of thepokerfilm fame emailed me the other day with the College Humor "Brohemian Rhapsody" (just click the link, I don't want to clutter up this post with an embed) video and said "do you recognize anyone in this clip? think high school" — I obviously immediately watched it and saw Doug Mand staring me in the face. Pretty cool to see former classmates making a splash. Here are a few screenshots of Doug in the film:
So I'm getting ready to write this post and I decide to see what else Doug has been in. Knowing his talent for comedy, I wasn't surprised to find a lot more. Here are a few of his projects:
1. hammerkatz – horrible website and lots of messed up stuff, but a comedy group Doug is involved with
2. Chubby Skinny Kids production – I would link to them, but they have a truly awful myspace page and I don't want to encourage the use of that shitty website that somehow became popular. That being said, there's a blog post about them here. It has a bunch of videos linked up and some mention of a pilot for some networks, so hopefully that does well.
My high school was really filled with some sick talent – Remember this was a small high school where everyone knew everybody! Here are just a few of them:
1. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/hakim_warrick/index.html – Hakim Warrick: NBA player and former college star.
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Shakur – I would have put his NBA player file but unfortunately it's kinda empty. He was a McDonald's All-American, a four-year starter at Arizona and has gotten a little interest out of the NBA. I get the feeling he'll end up overseas, but he's still going to be a solid pro.
3. Mike Cook. Senior Pitt guard. He's averaging 10 points/game this season. The funny thing is, when he was in high school, everyone thought he was the next great player. No one would have picked Hakim to end up in the NBA over Mike. But things happen and now Mike will probably end up playing pro ball, but I'm not sure about his NBA chances. That being said, he's playing for a high-profile and currently undefeated team, so anything can happen.
4. Evan Grove. Lead singer/songwriter/guitarist for The Anthem Sound. I know they aren't famous, but they're good. If they keep at it and get a lucky break or two, I think they have big potential. Also, Evan was in my class whereas the basketball players were all within a year or two, but not in my exact year.
5. Myself. Not to plug myself too much, but I might be behind Hakim as the 2nd most financially-successful graduate in the 2000+ time range. Tough to say considering that I don't keep in touch with most of my high school colleagues. And not like money is all that matters, so it could also be said that I've done a number of things of substance in a niche community — and I have a lot more still left to contribute.
6. stevesbets. He graduated a year behind me and even though we weren't great friends in high school, we've become much better friends over the last two years or so. For all of the bad things people say about him, he's won a lot of money playing poker. He's also a feared HU player — tons and tons of players will talk all sorts of shit about him, but when it comes to HU, they'll sit out every time. Also, he's just getting a good blog going, so check that out.
There are TONS of others too. I could go on naming them for a long time but I'll stop here. And none of this would ever mention the people in Harvard Law (at least two from my class) and other great grad schools.
Suffice it to say that I'm proud of the accomplishments of my former colleagues, I can't wait to see how everything develops.

However, I got a one-day suspension from the principal, and two Band-Aids on my face from the school nurse. In later years, a jealous girlfriend verbally attacked me about looking at another woman. I tried to leave the scene but she blocked my exit. Finally, I pushed her aside and left her apartment. I eventually received a summons to appear before a district attorney arbitrator to determine if assault charges should be filed against me. The woman showed such a belligerent attitude at the hearings that the case was dismissed and I was free to leave without charges being filed.
The aforementioned events seem similar to two recent publicly reported physical altercations between romantically connected celebrities. Rihanna recently told TV host Diane Sawyer on national television the attacks started with an argument over a text message Brown received while they were driving home from an industry party. "I couldn't take it that he kept lying to me. And he couldn't take it that I wouldn't drop it, and it was ugly," she told Sawyer. Rihanna pretty much admitted that she verbally hounded and rode Brown until he snapped. That's what I call passive/ aggressive behavior. Of course Brown was wrong to snap and needs anger management counseling. However, Rihanna further said on the TV interview that she wants her experience to be a lesson to other young women. My advice to Rihanna is to tell young women when to back off and not push men into a combat zone.
Another case in point, approximately two years ago, the news broke about 50-year-old Rev. Juanita Bynum being savagely beat in a hotel parking lot by her estranged husband Bishop Thomas Weeks. According to an Atlanta Police Department report, Weeks allegedly attacked Bynum. In a statement to police, Bynum said Weeks, "choked her, pushed her down, kicked her and stomped her in a hotel parking lot." The investigation uncovered that the two were separated and met to talk about their troubled marriage. The meeting reportedly did not go well and ended with Bishop Weeks leaving abruptly. Reverend Bynum followed him to the parking lot where the two exchanged bitter words. Though Weeks was the physical aggressor, Bynum was first the passive aggressor because she shouldn't have followed him, especially talking trash.
There are thousands, perhaps millions, of women that get beat annually all because nobody taught them when to let it go. Most males were taught not to hit females; however, statistics show that many men cannot control their tempters when verbally backed into a corner by a relentless confrontational female. This would become a safer and happier society for both sexes if men would learn to keep their hands to themselves and women would learn to when to wisely retreat before they push a man, perhaps already on the edge, too far.

The electrically adjustable slide/tilt sunroof is available as optional equipment for all 911 Carrera models. It opens outwards so that it does not interfere with headroom. Another advantage of the novel design is the large aperture for increased driving pleasure under the open sky. The two-position net-type wind deflector protects against draught and further reduces wind noise.
The electrically adjustable slide/tilt sunroof is also available in tinted singleglazed safety glass. An integral electric sunblind provides shade from unwanted bright light. It is available in five different colors. The design, headroom and aperture of the glass roof are identical to those of the regular slide/tilt sunroof. The only difference is that, even when closed, the glass sunroof still gives you that open-to-the-sky feeling.

Most of us know that eating healthy foods may help to ward off cancer. But we may feel like eating healthy foods is all veggies and no fun. Here's a recipe from Bridgeport Hospital clinical dietitian Sheree Smith that contains soy (see "Vegetarian Diets")—thought by many researchers to have cancer-fighting properties. This shake tastes so good, you might not believe it's also good for you!
Place all ingredients in blender and mix for three minutes. Refrigerate before serving. Makes two 8-oz shakes with 14 grams protein, 330 calories each.
At The Norma F. Pfriem Cancer Institute, we go out of our way to give our patients the special care they need to battle cancer. Nutrition is very important for those undergoing chemotherapy. But eating may be the last thing a cancer patient wants to do. Appetites disappear; with chemotherapy, nothing tastes the way it used to—sometimes eating just isn't pleasurable.
To tempt the appetites of her patients in the Center, Sheree often makes up special milkshakes ("oncology supplements" in disguise), full of flavor—and nutrition! Here is her recipe for another healthy, appetizing drink. You can enjoy this one at home, too!
Makes two 8-oz shakes, 272 calories and 11 grams protein each.

I'm designing a welding station. Most tabletops I've seen are mild steel. I'm leaning toward using 1/2" aluminum plate for the following reasons:
1. Pulls heat away from the backside of a weld faster than steel.
2. Less chance to scratch stainless steel during fixturing and welding.
Other than the fact that it is softer than steel, are there any reasons NOT to use aluminum; such as excessive arcing or warping? I'll be running 200 amps max, usually in the 100 range.
Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences.

Welding Station Tabletop - steel or aluminum?

I'd have to give it a thumbs down for the following reasons:
1. Price of Aluminum
2. You'd have to have aluminum legs and structure for a real table...
Otherwise you'd just have an aluminum surface bolted to a steel table.
That might be the best way to go: Conventional steel table to which aluminum plate (or even barstock) is bolted to the top for certain parts/welds. Aluminum would get scratched/banged, discolored, splattered on, etc. I don't know what kind of welding you'll be doing but if you mig the corner of some steel right on that surface, what's going to happen to the surface of that aluminum when you run the steel wire into it?
i have seen them made from 1/2&1/2 so i dont see whay you couldnt get away with just aluminum. only thing i can think of is like you said its soft so it will get dented ans scratched easily. i hve set dont my grinder with it still spinning and had it grrrrr to a stop the last lil bit and i would think that would leave a huge chale, in aluminum but did nothing to steel. so as long as you keep the soft isue in mind when building you should be fine. extra bracing and be shore not to melt threw.
maybee a steel top with an aluminum place mat so to speek??? that would give you the best of both.thanks for the help
hope i helped

Why aluminum? do you weld aluminum stuff all the time? Just curious, I ahve never seen a aluminum work tableScott

aluminum work table
I'm not real sure that an aluminum work surface will be the right thing to do. I would have to think it would get imbedded with the welding splatter and grinding debris a lot easier than going with a steel top. When ever I do aluminum or stainless I either put a piece of stainless sheet or even the sheet cardboard that comes between the sheets of metal on the table as a pad to work off of.

i think a steel table with a pice of sheet in aluminum or SS would be a better option. i just cant see an aluminum top lasting too long in my shop, but your milage may differ.thanks for the help

i would go with the steel because of price and u can tack stuff on it and u can practice welding things on it see if u can break it of then grind it back to new ! also if u ever a o/a torch to braze it makes it difficult to get ur piece of work to heat up cause the aluminum looses all the heat .welding...its awsome

Mostly aluminum projects
I too have never seen an aluminum tabletop, but my TIG instructor said it would make the ideal surface for a heat sink for stainless steel.

Hello everyone,
I live in Vancouver,BC. Recently I am thinking to get into the trades area to become a welder. The motivation is simple. I need to do a well paid job to feed the family. After asking around a few job training institutes, the situation is there were long waiting lists in every school in the lower mainland. The earliest will have to wait till winter 2014. So I phoned a few schools in BC inland, some still have available seats as early as Jan, 2013. But I need to leave my kids and study in a distant location for 28 weeks. It's really cost a lot-tuition fees, living cost, 28 weeks without pay cheque, and leaving home. I am 38 years old, physically I am healthy but not a strong type, and I wear glasses otherwise can not see clearly. I need everybody's opinion about this issue: Can people like me starting at my age be successful in this career? What is the biggest challenge I will face if I decided to do it?
Thank you very much.

I can give you a mountain of advise in one little word.
Never mind your reasons for staying in BC. Family, friends, whatever. If you can't make a go of it those reasons just aren't good enough anymore.
Not saying its late in life to job jump, I've done it numerous times. But it'll take up to 5 years to become certified as welder and the pay won't really be there until the 5 years is up..
Now what I do when I'm really bored, is go run a tracked excavator or jump into a semi. headed for who knows where.
Taking a course to run heavy equipment might be more up your alley. Lots of construction going on and these firms are always looking for certified operators.
Heck. I'm not certified on a excavator, still I get $40/hr to sit there listen to the radio and spin around moving dirt. Works out to $28/hr sitting behind the wheel of a tractor trailer.

Thank you Cruizer
I do industrial electronics now, though my former background is military in both Heavyduty, & light mechanics, Aircraft Engineer, and Avionics. I took up Driving just to do the Ice roads in 1999 & 2000. and heavy equipment operation to pass the time when I wanted to do something different for a while.
I went into welding repair after Canadian air died.
Depending on what you do right now, It may be best NOT to try welding as a career. Inspection maybe, but actual welding is not the best plan of action.
Besides nothing that you take for course in B.C, will prepare you for an Alberta apprenticeship. Unless you take that course in Alberta.

that's really bad news, Cruizer
I mean "Besides nothing that you take for course in B.C, will prepare you for an Alberta apprenticeship. Unless you take that course in Alberta".
The electrician foundation programs here in the lower mainland have waiting lists till september 2013. I have no trade experience at all, so I have to start from the beginning. All I have right now is my capability of learning,and it looks like very hard to get an apprenticeship just by that.
So what is your job now? Just wondering why you want to job jump into something you have zero experience in, have a family to support, and being middle aged.
Trust me when I say that we all want to do something different. buy something, or build something nobody else has, or work at something totally left field from your present employment. Been there, done it, and the grass really isn't greener on the other side of the fence even after all the hard work to scale that fence

For those not playing in the Fright Flight Doubles, we will once again be hosting the IDGC monthly.
This Saturday November 1st, signup starts at 9am with tee off at 10 am.
We will be doing something a little different next year so these are going to be the last two "monthly" events at the IDGC.
We are probably going to do an IDGC super six series, JK i know thats a KJ copyright! But we are going to do 6 events next year bi monthly and I am going to try to schedule them around other events, which is going to be hard to do! So the IDGC Series will remain but just in a different format which should make it easier for people to attend.

Work At Home Institute by Bobbie Robinson
Website: Work At Home Institute
Owner: Bobbie Robinson
Work At Home Institute
Out of all the work at home websites that I have reviewed, this one is definitely the best. The program was very easy to join. I got instant access to the member material and got started by the next day. After taking the time to watch the step by step videos. I saw my first revenue using their system within just 5 days. Payment came fast, too, via a direct deposit.
I really liked the Work At Home Institute because it wasn't hard to get started, only required a minimal investment and proved to be quite profitable.
The job is simple and straight forward using the powerful software provided with the kit. They have discovered a unique strategy to make money that get you paid by Fortune 500 companies by posting links and articles for them on Google and Yahoo. Their step-by-step system is really simple. If you can send email, you can use this software to make money from home.
The program claims users can make about $800+ a day. I didn't find this, but was still pleasantly surprised with $250-a-day average to start. It took about two weeks before I was seeing $510 days, which isn't all that bad considering how little work is actually involved.
Work At Home Institute is accepting a limited amount of individuals. This has allowed members to make much more money than most other programs out there. If you wish to sign up then I highly recommend checking availability ASAP to avoid disappointment.
With an easy to use system and high average earnings this is by far, the best work at home program I have ever seen.

I've been looking to start my own home business for a while now, after I saw your review on these online businesses I just had to sign up. I just hate working on my regular 9-5 job, needless to tell you I'm now working for myself making and I fell much happier..

Work At Home Institute I have to take a minute to send my five star rating, you were so helpful for the whole process from setting up my own website to making money with it. I'm not the fastest with a keyboard so setting everything up took me a couple days, however I got my first direct deposit as promised. I'm just starting and I'm already earning about $160 a day.

Hey Brent,
Earnings Potential
Awesome! I earned $311.40 for my first week following WAHU's step by step setup directions.
- Customer Support
I had to get in touch twice with Work At Home Institute. They really did everything in their power to help me get the ball rolling, on top of that they got back to me whitin less than 5 hours. Support is not outsourced, I wouldn't even be able to say that for my cable provider!
- Money Back Guarantee I can't really rate that one as I didn't need it but with my experience so far I'm SURE that if you feel that it is not for you they have no problem sending you your money back.
- Ease of use The Work At Home Institute program was very easy to start with, I'm not that good with computers so I'd be surprised others have any problems making it work. It is a very detailed step by step guide.
- Overall I understand that it is normal but the bad thing about this program is the limited number of positions available. If they allow too much people in the program then it will eventually get saturated and members may not make as much as promised. Anyway, I just wanted to let everybody know about my experience.
This is actually the first time I post positive reviews about a work at home program.

Similar program was featured on CNN. I was not sure if I should give it a shot at that time but, anyway...
They said so many good things about home business websites that I decided to try it out.
I'm really busy these days so I have not tried it too much. I still made $300 in a bit over a week.
Glad I joined and will find more time to invest soon...

Hard to believe they made it that easy to set everything up. They did everything for me all I have to do is take care of the website with their help. I am making about $100 - $300 a day now
and I just got an email from them on how to double that easily. I would recommend Work At Home Institute to anyone!

Hazardous air pollutants are pollutants that cause or may cause cancer or other serious health problems, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental and ecological effects. Radionuclides are among those pollutants.
The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to regulate airborne emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) (including radionuclides) from a specific list of industrial sources called "source categories." Each source category that emits radionuclides in significant quantities must meet technology requirements to control them and is required to meet specific regulatory limits. These standards are the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Radionuclides (Rad NESHAPs).
