Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Encore Capital Group in June 2015.
Phone screens with both the recruiter and the hiring manager, then an on-site interview. The on-site interview was nearly 5 hours (including a break for provided lunch) and consisted of five 1:1 interviews, with a couple logic/business cases, and a presentation on a provided topic made to a panel. Did not receive an offer, but was given good feedback.
Interview Questions

- No OfferNeutral ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Encore Capital Group (San Diego, CA) in April 2015.
Applied online. Received an email saying I would be getting a call from an HR representative. She described the position and told me I would take a basic algebra/logic assessment. After scoring well on it, received a phone interview from the head of Operations and was asked a simple set of questions using algebraic calculations and some business topics. Asked to come in and interview; spent four and a half hours between two offices, met with four people, two of which had slightly more complex questions similar to that given in the phone interview, one of which had a logic exercise. Overall, very long and tiring near the end.
Interview Questions
- Given two different mailing options with different cost rates and effectiveness rates, which option would be best in various scenarios? (For example, unlimited mailing list, unlimited budget, have both be unlimited, specific numbers of each, etc. Answer Question

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Encore Capital Group (Los Angeles, CA) in April 2015.
It's a phone interview. First the recruiter asked me to give a basic self introduction about yourself. Then would ask you to go over your resume and ask more details on it. Then follows the case part, where you've been given a situation and you need to analyze the problem and gives your explanation.

phone interview. They scheduled my interview in Monday, but no one call me on Monday. Then they told me they don't receive my confirmation email. One thing really confuse me is that they never, never reply to your email! Whatever workers, recruiter or HR. I try to call the company, then they schedule my new interview at Thursday. No phone call again! Two weeks later, I got an phone interview, but I really confuse about the operation of this company.
Interview Questions

Helpful (1)Accepted OfferDifficult Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Encore Capital Group.
The process included four rounds of interviews. Two phone interviews at the beginning and 5 interviews in their office split into two separate rounds. In person interviews were almost equally split between case and behavior interviews. Three business case interviews were focused on profit maximization and break even point analyses. Behavior interview included such questions as "Tell us about the time you had to use your leadership skills" or "How do you deal with conflict situations in the workplace". Also was asked about my data analysis experience. Overall positive impression after the interviews (although one of the rounds took almost three hours).

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Encore Capital Group (San Diego, CA) in September 2014.
I was contacted by a recruiter through phone. We scheduled a business case phone interview for two days later. The business case was about a donut shop that sold both coffee and donuts. I was given the price of coffee and donuts, the cost of coffee and donuts, and the quantity sold in both month 1 and month 2. I was asked to calculate profitability and then they gave me the profit number in month 3 I was asked to calculate quantity sold in month 3 (I used a system of equations). It was awkward doing this over phone for me being that I was calculating for long periods of time. I was later reached out to by the same recruiter and brought in for an interview day. I had 3 interviews and met with the recruiter at the end of it all to talk about the process. My first interview was scheduled for 1 hour with the head of the department I'd be working in, he was asking personality fit type questions, nothing technical. Near the end of the interview an analyst from the department joined us and asked me more personality type questions. He fired off a lot of questions such as, "What did you do this summer?" and "if you were going to get rid of one US State which one would it be and why?" He basically just wanted to see how I responded. Both the analyst and head of the department were friendly and it was a good experience. My next interview was scheduled for 1 hour with a head of another department. I was given a quantitative problem with assumptions. In the problem there were 4 individuals from 3 different countries, 3 different languages, and each individual had different preferences on receiving text messages for a marketing campaign. Details are missing such as who speaks what, who is from what country and the problem is to figure out who you should send a text. It took a little over 10 mins. The rest of the interview was more about "fit". The next interview was also scheduled for 1 hour. It was a business case interview with another individual who's title I have forgotten. The business case was similar to the coffee and donut one mentioned early. It was difficult and a calculator was needed. The recruiter says this is how most candidates also feel. Overall, the experience was good and everyone was friendly.
Interview Questions
- There is a donut and coffee shop. The shops has a profit of X in month 3, sells Y amount of donuts, and sells Z amounts of coffee. The price of donuts is Pd and the price of coffee is Pc. The cost of donuts is Cd and the cost of coffee is Cc. (all the X, Y, Z, Pd, Pc, Cd, Cc amounts were given to me but I forget the exact numbers) What is the quantity of donuts and coffee sold in month 3? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took a week. I interviewed at Encore Capital Group (San Diego, CA) in September 2014.
The interview was with the person who would later be my direct supervisor and the outgoing general manager for my team. We sat in a cozy conference room and they were both very friendly and genuinely excited to meet me. They took turns asking me a variety of typical interview questions as well as questions that applied specifically to the legal system. After, I was given a brief tour of the floor and was even introduced to a few long time staff members. The overall atmosphere was very relaxed. It was obvious they had experience interviewing candidates as they were welcoming and knowledgeable.
Interview Questions
- How do you handle situations where you are unsure how to proceed? 1 Answer
Helpful (2)Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Encore Capital Group (San Diego, CA) in August 2014.
I was contacted by a recruiter in Feb of 2013. I was very interested in the position but was not asked back for a second interview because they needed someone immediately and I wasn't going to finish school until June. Upon graduation, no positions were open at Encore so I found something else. Now, one year later, I decided to contact the recruiter again to see if anything was open. Luckily, they had an open position. The recruiter set up a phone interview with me and the manager who I would be working under. The phone interview was very typical: walk me through your resume, talk about a big project you worked on that was successful, etc. She said I should come in for an in person interview where I would meet a panel of people and be given a few business cases. I don't know why other reviewers complained about the cases... they warn you in advance, the recruiter gave me practice cases to study, and they were not that bad. If you want to work in a data driven field, the people hiring you have to make sure you know how to do basic math. Walking through the cases is the only way they are going to know if you are a good fit. Anyway, I was interviewed by 5 people and the interview lasted from 8am to 11:30am. Out of the 5 people, 4 gave me cases to work through, but only 2 of those 4 cases actually "counted." The other two were more of a "walk me through..." then a pen and paper problem and were used to analyze your critical thinking skills. The first case didn't "count" but he gave me two pricing models and I had to determine which was going to yield the most profit. I didn't have to calculate anything, we just talked about the two schemes and I came up with some other solutions that were different from the original two he gave gave. Basically, he was just looking to see how I approached the question. The next was a logic case which I was not prepared for, but it was fun. It was a chart with a bunch of boxes and I had to fill the chart out based on clues given. This case "counted" and I had to determine who would receive a text message and who would not. It took about 8-10 minutes and I had to ask one question, but it was doable. They purposely leave part of this case ambiguous so you either have to make the assumption or ask. Again, they want to see how you go about problem solving. The third case did not "count" but rather was a "talk through" question. You have 100 things to mail out but only have money for 75. How do you determine who to mail to and who to not mail to? The last case "counted" and was the most difficult. It was your typical business case. You have a hotel and you have to determine the break even, FC, VC, revenues, profits, etc. How many rooms do you have to fill if you want to increase the revenue but decrease the price? What is the percentage point change in occupancy rates? Lastly, I had to fill in a graph (he provided the axises) and determine if it was constant, increasing, or decreasing rate of return. This he did not flat out ask; I had to figure out that this was the information he was looking for. This took about 45 minutes and I had to walk him through all my steps once I arrived at an answer. Bring a calculator!!
Interview Questions
- Your resume is education heavy and work experience light. How do I know you aren't going to take this job and then just leave? Answer Question
Difficult. I did not get the salary I was expecting but took the job anyway because I really wanted the position and liked the team. I negotiated looking at my salary a second time in 6 months for an increase.

America's Best Salty-Sweet Desserts
Pastry chefs all over the country are infusing their desserts with salty and savory elements—from bacon and salted caramel to black olives and blue cheese. Salt intensifies flavor and beautifully plays off sweetness. Here, pastry chefs and bakers who have mastered that crave-worthy balance of flavors.—Megan Murphy

Bacon maple bar doughnut, $2.50
A few things are certain at this tiny Portland parlor: You'll find wacky, whimsical pastries, an outrageous doughnut selection and typically a line out the door. In 2003, co-owner Kenneth "Cat Daddy" Pogson decided to top a maple bar with bacon on a whim—and voilà! The glorious sugary-and-swiny confection was born. "People travel far and wide to try this flavor," says the shop's Sara Heise. "Where sweet greets the meat!" A raised yeast doughnut bar with maple frosting and two crispy, salty bacon strips, this cult favorite has garnered a slew of famous fans, including Anthony Bourdain. voodoodoughnut.com

Brooklyn Children's MuseumRead MoreIn 1899, program directors at what is today's Brooklyn Children's Museum decided to transform an old family mansion into a museum geared toward children. Anna Billings Gallup headed up the first crew of curators, who transformed the space into the Brooklyn Children's Museum, the world's first museum created expressly for children. While it is still New York City's only children's museum (and one of the few in the country to be accredited by the American Association of Museums), the success of Brooklyn Children's Museum has sparked the creation of 300 children's museums around the world. Today, the museum preserves Gallup's world-renowned passion for educating children along with award-winning, hands-on exhibits and innovative use of its collections, including more than 30,000 objet d'anthropology, from shark jawbones to tribal masks. The museum engages children from pre-school to high school in learning adventures featuring early childhood education, arts and culture, and natural science. The Sensory Room provides an interactive experience for special-needs children, with visual, auditory, and motor-skills-related activities. The museum also teaches future generations about sustainability with a curriculum based on the building's own inner workings, which are certified green by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.145 Brooklyn Ave.Brooklyn, NY US
City Reliquary MuseumRead MoreLike pigeons to a Central Park statue, the fragments of New York's history congregate at not-for-profit The City Reliquary Museum, which also acts as a civic organization that serves the five boroughs. There, past a bright red door and a canary-yellow awning, visitors find terracotta shards of landmark buildings, old-fashioned subway tokens, paint chips from the L train, and a wall of antique Statue of Liberty postcards. A shrine to Jackie Robinson celebrates a Civil Rights icon that contemporaries could have read about in an old-fashioned newsstand like the one preserved in an alcove in the next room. Other highlights of the museum include a rotating exhibition hall, a World's Fair archive, and a set of geological core samples that contain the seeds of the Big Apple. Through permanent display of New York City artifacts, rotating exhibits of community collections, and annual cultural events, The City Reliquary connects visitors to both the past and present of New York. The New York Post said the little storefront "celebrates Brooklyn's underdog spirit with exacting curatorial detail," and the AV Club called it simply, warmly, "the city's oddest museum."370 Metropolitan AveBrooklyn, NY US

Study Examines College Experience of Immigrants, Offspring
A new national study may yield some clues about how immigrant and second generation Americans differ from all other undergraduates, and from each other, when they get to college.
The study (PDF) for the U.S. government's National Center for Education Statistics examined students from six states including New York, where 35 percent of college students were either first- or second-generation immigrants.
The foreign-born population in the U.S tripled between 1970 and 2007. A little more than a quarter of all adults aged 25 and older had bachelor's degrees in 2007, regardless of whether or not they were foreign born. But 44 percent of foreign-born? adults had enrolled in college compared to 56 percent of the U.S. born population.
Among undergraduates who were born abroad or whose parents were immigrants, the dominant ethnic groups are Hispanics and Asians.
"They're definitely different on some of the measures that we looked at," said Sandra Stacklis, a senior research associate with M.P.R. Associates, which analyzed data from the 2007-2008 academic year. "The study's just descriptive so this is just a starting point for investigating these issues."
Both Asians and Hispanice are more likely than college students in general to be low-income. They also make good use of community colleges. "But it's not true for Asian second -generation Americans," said Stacklis, explaining that they "are less likely than all undergraduates to enroll in community colleges." That's because they are more likely to enroll in four-year institutions.
Other key findings:
- Hispanic students were more likely than the Asian students to have parents who didn't go to college. Thirty-eight percent of Asian immigrant and 28 percent of Asian second-generation American undergraduates had parents who did not attend a postsecondary institution, compared with more than half of Hispanic immigrant and second-generation American students. This means there wasn't much change among the Hispanics between generations.
- The Hispanic students were also less likely to speak English at home than Asians, even if they were born in the U.S. Eighteen percent of Hispanic immigrant undergraduates, and 48 percent of second-generation students reported speaking English at home compared to 26 percent of Asian immigrant and 59 percent of second-generation Asian students.
- Hispanic students are more likely than Asians to enroll in for-profit colleges, a growing new industry.
- Forty-six percent of the Asian undergrads reported taking or planning to take calculus in high school - more than double the figure for all U.S. undergraduates. This is considered a barometer of success in college.
- The study did not include Puerto Ricans because the authors say it was too hard to determine whether they were first or second generation immigrants.

Corn, Soybeans May Advance on Shrinking Global Inventories
Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Corn and soybeans may rise for a third straight week on expectations the U.S. government will reduce its forecast for world reserves in a Dec. 10 report because of dry-weather damage to crops in South America.
Twenty-four of 30 traders and analysts surveyed from Chicago to Tokyo on Dec. 3 said corn will rise, and 25 of 31 respondents said soybeans will gain. Last week, corn futures for March delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade climbed 3.7 percent to $5.735 a bushel, and soybean futures for January delivery advanced 5 percent to $13.0025 a bushel.
Last week's gains in corn and soybeans were expected by the majority of respondents surveyed on Nov. 26. Since 2004, the surveys have been correct 52 percent of the time for corn and 54 percent for soybeans.
Bullish on corn: 24 Bullish on soybeans: 25 Bearish on corn: 6 Bearish on soybeans: 6

I have an interesting problem,
- I send bytes of data to my server, from my client, and the recv() function always returns zero.
- I have verified that the function is indeed getting the data and placing it into the char array correctly. It just returns zero regardless of the number of bytes received.
- I have verified that the client is still properly connected after recv() returns a zero, and can still send and receive data to and from the server.
This creates a problem for me. I need to total up the chars coming in to determine when a message is completed. Can someone explain what could cause the recv() command to behave in this manner?
// clean the buffer of any previous received data
// by resetting all bytes to zero
// try to read some data, using the read buffer
if(this->Return_Value = recv(this->Socket_Filedescriptor,
0) == -1)
// returned -1, notify the server it needs
// to remove this connections FD, and
// close this connection class entry;
return -1;
// print return value
// print out the bytes
for(int curPos =0; curPos<this->ReadBuffer_Size; curPos++)
output looks like this:
0 0 1 -1 -1 -1 -2 -1 -1 0 0

Sugar overload!
I have given this 1 star because the box gives the impression that it is going to be good for you - it birds, and flowers etc etc pineapple, hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds - muesli with a the lighter crunch! In my opinion it isn't, its full of sugar, additives and preservatives. Its so sweet I couldn't laste any flavours. Poor product Dorset Cereals!
15 July 2015
I bought this as a change from other Dorset Cereals muesli varieties, all of which I enjoy. This would be lovely, but it is over salted. This is the only cereal I have ever had that actually tasted salty. It's a shame as I was looking forward to a spelt based cereal.
15 July 2015
27% sugar - YUK!!
Sugar features 3 times in the list of ingredients... With all the naturally occurring sugar in the fruit why on earth do the naturally un-sugary flakes need to be covered in more sugar? Really disappointing :(
05 April 2015
much too sweet, not at all healthy, but tasty..
This is yummy although tastes too sweet to me, and this isn't surprising when you look at the ingredients and see most of them are sweetened with sugar!! Kind of defeats the object of muesli, I bought it cos I wanted to eat healthy and it's just as sugary and bad for me as it contains more sugar per serving than crunchy nut cornflakes!!! Very disappointed!

I was busily playing Tetris when an email came in from one of my favourite erotic magazines asking me to write an article about swinging. As you may or may not know—I've written a non-fiction book about swinging [Swingers: True confessions from the Modern Swinging Scene]. I've actually written two and the second one is due out in June or July. And the lovely editor at my favourite erotic magazine was responding to an email enquiry I'd made earlier in the year.
"Can you write an article about swinging? The deadline is the end of next month. Is that OK?"
After getting a new high score on Tetris (three lines! my personal best!) I felt sufficiently buoyed to be cocky. "The end of next month?" I wrote back. "I'll have your article with you for the end of this week."
I sent the email and then celebrated with another game or eight of Tetris. Then, carefully, deliberately and professionally, I began to outline the swinging article.
Which is when the email from the BBC came in.
"Are you the Ashley Lister that's written the book on swinging? Can you help us with some research? And would you be comfortable appearing on TV and talking about swinging?"
I have to admit I was quite excited. I phoned the number at the bottom of the email and had a lengthy chat with a BBC man who asked lots of questions.
"Are you Ashley Lister?"
"Of course—check out the nipple ring."
"Can you help with the research?"
"Research is my middle name."
"Would you be comfortable appearing on TV?"
"Does the pope shit in the woods?"
In the blink of an eye, I could picture my meteoric rise to superstardom. My handsome face on a TV documentary; my deep and manly voice enthralling the nation as I spoke learnedly yet saucily; the movie producers noticing me, scrabbling for my telephone number, and earnestly asking if I'd be comfortable doing a nude scene with Angelina Jolie.
The BBC informed me that they didn't think the pope shat in the woods.
However, we discussed filming schedules. They asked if I could manage Monday or Tuesday. I told them my Mondays and Tuesdays were sacrosanct. It's not that hangovers last a long time in my household: I have college on Mondays and Tuesdays and the subject matter is so intense I don't dare miss a lesson. We're currently learning the difference between nouns and verbs. It's heady stuff.
So we tentatively agreed filming for the weekend. They asked if I could send some appropriate material through before the end of the week. In my most competent and professional voice I assured them that wouldn't be a problem. I then hung up and remembered I'd promised an article for my favourite erotic magazine by the end of the week. The anxiety that accompanied that thought meant my scores on Tetris were severely below the usual one and a half line average.
Nevertheless, it was only Wednesday lunchtime and, technically, I had until Friday teatime to prepare an article and a slender portfolio of research. This meant I could industriously plough through a few more games of Tetris as I tried to formulate the most effective ways of tackling both writing projects.
Which was when the telephone call from the college came in.
"Ashley, would you be able to teach a class on Friday?"
"Shit!" I thought. "Sure!" I said. I took down details of time, location, class and subject. And then calculated that I only had the remainder of Wednesday and all of Thursday to write a two thousand word article, produce a portfolio of research, and prepare a class.
Of course, if I'd had any sense, I would have prepared the class first and assigned various projects to various students. If one of them was working on the swinging article and another was doing the research for the BBC, I would have had time to carry on playing Tetris for a little while longer.
But, instead, I decided to be diligent. The BBC material was researched, written and sent off before the end of Wednesday night. The magazine article took a little longer but that was ready by Thursday lunchtime. While I was writing up my lesson plan for Friday I got a call from the BBC thanking me for my information and telling me it was just what they needed for their programme.
"Are we still on for filming on Saturday?" I asked. It was just a polite enquiry. I was wondering whether or not to change my business cards so that they read: ASHLEY LISTER - TV STAR.
"Saturday?" The BBC man repeated. "We'll get back to you."
I reread through the magazine article on Thursday.
I took the class on Friday. And I got down on my knees afterwards and prayed my grateful thanks to the great god of caffeine and "stay-awake" pills. I've always argued that sleep is for wimps. Admittedly, I dosed off a couple of times during the Friday lecture but I don't think any of my students noticed.
And I went home expecting to have received an email from the BBC telling me where and when they wanted me. The absence of an email suggested they didn't want me anywhere or at any time. I tried phoning them. The answer-phone message said the staff from that office had gone home for the weekend. I tried emailing them. And I got no response.And I mention all of this, not because I'm bitterly frustrated, annoyed or peeved to any degree. I mention all of this just in case any movie producers are reading my column and wondering who they can cast alongside Angelina Jolie in their next big blockbuster. Although, if a movie producer is reading this, I'd prefer to be cast either on top of Angelina Jolie or maybe underneath her. It's easy enough to reach me—just try not to disturb my game of Tetris.

. . . if you do, then stay at the Hotel Le Marais!
I must admit, I did not call the hotel staff for parking assistance when I pulled up to the hotel in order to check in--I did not know what to do--there is no apparent "point of arrival" for check-in if one has driven a car. However, once inside, the staff jumped into action--bringing in luggage, parking the car, and getting us our room keys.
There is lovely function at every turn throughout the hotel; I cannot imagine what other provision could be required by a guest who desires to spend some time in the area! This property executes pleasant refreshment and service throughout one's stay.
Breakfast and their coffee service was nicely satisfying. The bar and the talented bartender was all that one could desire. The bed in the room provided a great sleep, and there's a great shower as well!

Disrespect for women: Tommy Sheridan (left) and George Galloway (right) share anti-feminist attitudes with the Occupy movement
Feminism's natural home is the political Left. The struggle for equal pay, kick-started by the female workers at the Ford Dagenham car plant who went on strike in 1968, was supported by male-led unions. Socialists are assumed to be in favour of total equality between men and women and castigate the Right for considering women to be only worthy of childrearing and housekeeping.
In 2012 the Trades Union Congress appointed a female general secretary, Frances O'Grady, for the first time in its 145-year history. Yet the Tories managed to vote in a woman as party leader as far back as 1975. Who says sexism is the domain of right-wing traditionalists?
The leading contemporary socialist feminist thinkers such as Sheila Rowbotham and Lynne Segal are well known in the academy but will never become as prominent publicly as their male counterparts. The reason for this is straightforward. When women work with leftist men to achieve a common aim, any issues specific to women are often seen as a "bourgeois deviation" and counter to the wider cause.
In 1964 Stokely Carmichael, the prominent US Black Power activist, was asked about the role of women in the civil rights movement. He replied, "The only position for women in the movement is prone." Carmichael's remarks caused outrage among many women and are still considered emblematic of the entrenched misogyny of 1960s activist movements. Sexism on the Left on both sides of the Atlantic has a long and shameful history. One Berkeley anti-war leader said of feminists in 1969, "Let them eat cock." At Students for a Democratic Society meetings, "brothers" reported their unique dreams for utopia which included, "Free grass, free food, free women and free clothes." If and when women tried to criticise male chauvinism within the movement, their actions were mocked. Such sexism prompted the feminist critiques of the New Left that would later develop into the women's liberation movement of the 1970s.
Despite more than four decades of feminism, sexism on the Left has barely abated. As recently as 2004 former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone warmly welcomed to City Hall Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a Muslim cleric who advocated domestic violence and the stoning of adulterous women, and justified doing so when challenged. Al-Qaradawi was a speaker at a conference, hosted by Livingstone, defending the "right" of Muslim women to wear the hijab. Although the conference claimed to promote "choice", al-Qaradawi has ruled that wearing the hijab is not a matter of choice but of religious obligation. There were no feminists of Muslim origin invited to speak at the conference or any Muslims critical of religious doctrine. Feminist critics of Livingstone's friendly relationship with al-Qaradawi described the conference as a one-sided presentation of religious fundamentalism masquerading as a human rights debate.
George Galloway is a fine example of a man on the Left who appears to consider women as inferior. Galloway, along with left-wing heroes Ken Loach, John Pilger and Michael Moore, is a supporter of Julian Assange, currently holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in order to avoid being extradited to Sweden to face questioning on allegations of sexual assault and rape.

Best hotel of our holiday. Got a nice warm welcome after our long journey from the UK. Parking is free and plentiful. They took into account our request for a quiet room, we were right at the end of a corridor, well away from lifts and ice machines. Room safe is always a bonus and nice fresh sheets and duvet. Always plenty of coffee and hot water for tea or hot chocolate, and freshly baked cookies (we didn't tend to find this at the other Hampton's). Breakfast had plenty of choice, although the small area got quite crowded some mornings. I'm not a huge fan of the plastic plates and cutlery but hey, you're getting a complimentary breakfast! The shuttle bus was great for us, we used it every morning around 8:30 to go to the metro stop, drivers were always cheerful and nothing was a problem, and they were always waiting on time to take us back to the hotel.
It was nice to also get the shuttle down into Alexandria Old Town and have a stroll down to the harbour. There are fast food places nearby and also a 7-11 if you need groceries or a couple of beers.
I would definitely recommend this Hampton and if we ever go back to DC we will be using it again.

There are little keyers built into Altoids boxes, and other small
things. That way, even the key can be hidden. Except for wires.
How about building the key into a fake iPod device? that way, wires
are assumed to be earbuds.....
Regarding hearing the IQ signal in the speakers, you probably have
the Creative/Windows mixer set with Line-In enabled for sound
playback. Try muting the "line-in" on the playback Windows sound
mixer, but leave it enabled for the record side mixer.

Quiz: Judging Family Trends: Where Do You Fit?
The American public is sharply divided in its judgments about the sweeping changes in the structure of the American family that have unfolded over the past half century.
The Public Renders a Split Verdict On Changes in Family Structure
The American public is sharply divided in its judgments about the sweeping changes in the structure of the nation's families that have unfolded over the past half century. About a third generally accepts the changes, a third is tolerant but skeptical and a third considers them bad for society.
A Portrait of Stepfamilies
More than four-in-ten adults have at least one step relative. They are just as likely as others to say family is important, but they typically feel a stronger sense of obligation to biological family members than to step relatives.
The Decline of Marriage and Rise of New Families
Americans today are less likely to be married than at any time in the nation's history. Rates have declined for all groups, but they have fallen most sharply among those on the lower rungs of the socio-economic ladder. A new survey finds that these less-advantaged adults are more likely than others to say that economic security is an important reason to marry. Even as marriage shrinks, family remains the most important and most satisfying element in the lives of most Americans.
Since the Start of the Great Recession, More Children Raised by Grandparents
One child in 10 in the U.S. lives with a grandparent, a share that increased slowly and steadily over the past decade before rising sharply from 2007 to 2008, the first year of the Great Recession. About 40% of all children who live with a grandparent (or grandparents) are also being raised primarily by that grandparent.
Lost Income, Lost Friends — and Loss of Self-Respect
A new Pew Research Center survey finds the long-term unemployed are more likely than the short-term unemployed not only to have lost income, but also to have lost contact with close friends, suffered strains in family relations and lost some self-respect and confidence in their long-term career prospects.
New Economics of Marriage: The Rise of Wives
A larger share of women today, compared with their 1970 counterparts, have more education and income than their spouses. As a result, in recent decades the economic gains associated with marriage have been greater for men than for women.
Between Two Worlds: How Young Latinos Come of Age in America
Never before in this country's history has a minority ethnic group made up so large a share of the youngest Americans.
The Harried Life of the Working Mother
A solid majority of Americans (75%) reject the idea that women should return to their traditional roles in society, but many women remain conflicted about the competing roles they play at work and at home.
Networked Families
Parents and spouses are using the internet and cell phones to create a "new connectedness" that builds on remote connections and shared internet experiences.

We left the campsite in the morning to meet John in Stockton, where the farm he is staying this summer is. It was a cool ride along the Mississippi river. Had a flat as we left the campsite, so I bought a new tire later that, Deutsch qualitat! Since we were going to meet John in the evening, we asked him to take our bags in his car.

Recipe: Wild Rice Bowl with Red Lentil Curry and Spinach
Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
The best part about this vegetarian bowl recipe is how easy it is to make. This makes it an ideal candidate for one of those hectic mid-week dinners when all you want is a delicious meal on the table without having to think too hard. It's made with hearty red lentils, fresh ginger, plenty of spices, a couple handfuls of baby spinach, and coconut milk — a perfect balance of heat and creaminess.
How To Make Nicoise Salad
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
It's a glorious summer day when your lunch involves a Nicoise salad and a glass of rosé. Although, truthfully, it would be glorious with just the salad alone. And the only thing that could possibly make it better is if I were actually eating it in France. Maybe next summer.
Nicoise salad is sneaky. It's the kind of meal that feels so classy and refined, but when you make it at home, it becomes an easy summer dinner to have any night of the week.
Recipe: Creamy Polenta Bowl with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Zucchini
Recipes from The Kitchn
This deliciously simple and quick weeknight summer recipe is made of fresh corn-studded polenta, perfectly roasted grape tomatoes and zucchini, and a smooth — slightly tart — pesto for drizzling over the top. This dish comes together quickly, and it's a great way to use up all of that late-summer produce.
What's the Best Way to Clean a Glass Stovetop?

The lightest, fluffiest pancakes any of us here at The Kitchn have ever had the pleasure of either making or eating. Every time I make them, I wonder why I ever bother making anything else.
Is that enough of a hook? I sure hope so because these pancakes deserve to be made far and wide. Here's how you, too, can have a piping hot plate of lofty buttermilk pancakes for your next breakfast.
How To Make a Fruit Shrub Syrup
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Have you ever sipped a shrub? Not the bush out in your front lawn, but a fruit syrup, preserved with vinegar and mixed with water or alcohol to make a tangy, refreshing beverage. An old-fashioned favorite, shrubs have steadily made a comeback in the last several years — especially on cocktail menus — but they aren't solely the province of mixologists.
Making a shrub syrup at home is a fun way to preserve and play with seasonal fruit, and you can follow this template for practically any fruit you have on hand. In addition to drinks, you can use the brightly flavored syrup in salad dressings and homemade jam, or as a glaze for meats.
Recipe: Gnocchi Skillet with Chicken Sausage & Tomatoes
Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
Late summer nights call out for easy food that is also fresh and vibrant, abundant with tomatoes, herbs, and other garden booty. This skillet is the dish I make when I want a 15-minute meal with just a handful of ingredients, but one that tastes like summer in the mouth.
Gnocchi, blistered cherry tomatoes, chicken sausage, and a handful of basil — look, I've told you the whole ingredient list already.
Recipe: Vegetable Jambalaya
Budget Recipes from The Kitchn
This vegetable-heavy Jambalaya is faster and just as good, in my opinion, as the Southern original. Stick to the list of vegetables I suggest or add the extra summer veggies you have on hand, like summer squash or even corn. To get closer to the original, add seafood or fried sausage to the pot towards the end of the cooking time.
Recipe: Creamy Zucchini Fettuccine
Budget Recipes from The Kitchn
Everyone should learn to make fettuccine Alfredo at home. It's remarkably easy, and shockingly better than what you're likely to get in an average restaurant. This version adds zucchini to the mix and cuts back on the butter and cream, making a lighter, more interesting flavor.
Delicious as fettuccine Alfredo is, after the first few bites, it gets a little boring, as it's just richness, salt, and cream. With zucchini invited to the party, you get tang, along with some extra texture. The chile flakes don't hurt either.
Recipe: Fried Cauliflower Rice
Weeknight Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
I have been fairly obsessed with cauliflower "rice" ever since discovering it earlier this year. This finely chopped cauliflower is one of those cheater ingredients that actually tastes legit. No joke.
It has also brought Chinese fried rice, once relegated to the "comfort food" category, squarely into my weeknight meal rotation.
