how to make the hard rock like candy?

Does anyone know how to make the rock candy that you don’t grow on a string? it’s flat and you break it up then shake it up with powered sugar? I made it along time ago at christmas. It comes in different colors and you can add different flavors it’s just like rock candy.
I want one that don’t involve growing it on a string, I want it to be flat pieces.

Cinnamon Rock Candy
1 cup water
3-3/4 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups light corn syrup
1 teaspoon red liquid food coloring
1 teaspoon cinnamon oil
1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with foil; butter the foil and set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine water, sugar, corn syrup and food coloring. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for 3 minutes to dissolve sugar crystals.
Uncover; cook on medium-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage), about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in cinnamon oil (keep face away from mixture as odor is very strong). Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
Break the candy into pieces using the edge of a metal mallet. Sprinkle both sides of candy with confectioners’ sugar. Store in airtight container. Yield: about 2 pounds. *Editor’s Note: Cinnamon oil can be found in some pharmacies or at kitchen and cake decorating supply stores. Editor’s Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover; cook, without stirring, cover medium-high heat until a candy thermometer reads 310° (hard-crack stage).
Remove from the heat; stir in almond extract and food coloring. Immediately pour onto prepared baking sheet. Quickly spread into a 13-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Using a sharp knife and working quickly, score into 1-in. squares. Recut rectangle along score lines until candy is cut into squares. Let stand at room temperature until dry. Separate into squares, using a knife if necessary, or break into bite-size pieces. Yield: 1 pound. Editor’s Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

I am interested in alternative and herbal remedies. What kinds of careers would be good for me?

I am deeply interested in herbal remedies and alternative medicine. Is there any kind of job market for this to consider pursuing an education towards it?
It’s not a scam Charles. Quit being brainwashed and go take your RX’s

It really depends on your preferences (good at science, good at writing, good at math, good with business, etc).

Yes, there is some demand for people skilled in natural therapies. Actually, it is one of the fastest growing fields of business as people seek other alternatives to "Traditional" medicine

1 – Massage and Bodywork – Including Aromatherapy, Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy, Reflexology, Rolfing, Polarity Therapy, Massage
2 – Osteopathic Medicine
3 – Chiropractic Medicine
4 – Naturopathic Medicine
5 – Ayurvedic Medicine
6 – Allopathic (Western/Traditional) Medicine with a focus and intent on encouraging a change towards natural alternatives – If you can’t beat em’, Join em’. Then BEAT THEM!
7 – Nutritionist
8 – Psychotherapy
9 – Therapeutic Hypnotist
10 – Nursing (again with the focus and intent on natural medicine)

Again, all of these ideas seem to be on the upswing. People are looking for other approaches.

Of course, there is also nothing wrong with being in business and supporting these people, or being a business consultant to people trying to run natural businesses.

Talk to people in the field. I love talking with like-minded and interested people about what I do and helping them find their path.

Good luck.

Keep Your Adsense Off on Pop Ups and Pop Under!

Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the punishment. Considering the money that they are getting from Adsense, they would certainly want to get back into it.

Considering the money to be made with Adsense, it is no wonder that they would want to get back into it. It is that same consideration why the Google Adsense click fraud is thought of and why many people are getting into it.

Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing the advertiser money. It is simply the same as paying out cash for false leads. Many people website owners are aware of this fraud and are sharing the same sentiment that this is the one big problem that Adsense is facing.
How do you prevent being involved in this fraud?

Majority of web hosts are offering access logs. Once this is offered to you, it is necessary that you hand it over to Google as well. This allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. Problems like this are very serious and giving it to them is saying that you would want to help them in any way you can in solving the problem.

It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. If you do not have one yet, you should try and get one. There is absolutely no major factor preventing you from having one because most of this software is free.

As usual, all the information you have received should be turned over to Google. This is showing Google that you too are fighting against click frauds and is in no way a part of it. Study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, for more details visit to www.google-atm-machine.com may it big or small thing.

You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents and will not make Google mistake another user as you. You can do through a hatches file. This will avoid Google mistaking as clicking on your own ads and be kicked out because of it.

Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop under. Your ads should not be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity or tampering of the legal rights of other people or business. Included in this are the content that is considered adult and gambling ones. If you think that you may be breaking this rule, immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have clicked on your own as, whether accidentally or intentionally. Or the times when you have done something that is against the Terms of Service that they are implementing. Be honest about anything that you may have done that is wrong. Confessing is way better than Google learning about it eventually. It would mean eventual termination and no getting back what you have worked so hard for.

Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website. Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing it. They may be doing more harm to you than help by trying it in the first place.

If ever someone you know chanced upon your Adsense makes sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances. It would be wise to brief them on important things about Adsense and what not to do with them.

Most pay per click networks has different measures in hand to protect website owners against click frauds. Other search engines can track more than 50 data points, IP address, browser’s information, for more details visit to www.adsense-income-exposed.com user’s session info and pattern recognition. They also have
“Systems” available that detects fraud. Not to mention the specialized teams monitoring how things are going and helping advertisers stop click frauds.

Google offers suggestion on how to avoid click fraud. Using “negative keywords” can be used to keep your Adsense showing on products and services that are in no way related to yours. Adding tracking URLs to your links so you can track the traffic coming from Google.
