Basically all you do is one person starts by saying their name (well in our case typing it) and then going around and everyone else saying there name. It's really fun doing it with a ton of people because you'll get a lot of repeat names! I've always been interested in finding someone with my same first name because I don't know anyone IRL with it.
Also I'm a lurker and with reading comments have noticed that there are a lot of women here who have the same names(although some different spellings)
Ok so here's how to do it just copy the name list from the comment before you and add your name to the list where it would fit alphabetically. If someone has already added your name then put a tally park or astrick or something next to it. If someone has already put your name down but your version is spelled differently then put your name spelling after that name.
For example my name is Leah but sometimes people spell it Leigha so what I would do on the list is

Groton — For the first time in a decade, Electric Boat is simultaneously working on two submarines in its main building shed.
The first module for the future USS Illinois, the 13th member of the Virginia class, arrived by barge from EB's Quonset Point facility Tuesday. It was placed next to the North Dakota, the 11th of the class.
Two submarines have not been side by side in Building 260 since 2003, when EB was building the USS Jimmy Carter and the USS Virginia, the first of the class.
"This is our first step to ramping up in Groton to two boats a year," said Todd Beardsley, the ship's manager at EB for the Illinois (SSN 786).
The first module for the follow-on submarine at EB normally arrives after its predecessor is put into the water for the first time. The "float off" for the North Dakota (SSN 784) will not happen until September or October. That submarine is on track for the fastest delivery of the class yet.
"Everything keeps getting earlier and earlier, so we're ready to go to two boats a year," Beardsley added.
The Navy began buying two submarines per year in 2011 but the Groton waterfront is where the final assembly and testing of submarines is done, so it is not projected to have a steady workload until 2015. EB is under contract to build the 11th through the 18th ships of the class, with Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia.
About 600 people in Groton and Quonset Point are working on the Illinois. Next year, once all four modules are in Groton, nearly 1,000 people will be working in the yard on the submarine.
The arrival of the first module, in this case, the forward half of the engine room, is a milestone, Beardsley said, because major work on the submarine can now begin in Groton. The next task is to attach the reactor compartment to the 50-foot-long cylindrical module, he said.
Cmdr. Jess Porter, the submarine's commanding officer, arrived in Groton on Monday to begin assembling the crew. The first group, about 35 people, will spend the next few weeks in school in Schenectady, N.Y., learning how to operate the propulsion plant, Porter said.
Porter said being in command of a new Virginia-class submarine is "a phenomenal opportunity" because the culture for the ship is set in the early stages of construction.
"That culture, in large measure, goes a long way toward building that ship to a viable and powerful platform," he said.
First Lady Michelle Obama was named sponsor for the submarine last year.
Construction on the Illinois began in March 2011. The submarine is contracted to be delivered to the Navy in 66 months, on Aug. 31, 2016. Beardsley said his goal is to finish earlier in 2016 and to beat whatever record the North Dakota sets when it is delivered in early 2014.
Female officers will begin reporting aboard Virginia-class submarines in January 2015. Porter said that if women are assigned to the Illinois, "my ship will be ready to support that."
Porter, 46, who is from Pocatello, Idaho, took the USS Missouri through the delivery and commissioning process as that submarine's executive officer. He spent 12 years as an enlisted nuclear electrician's mate in the surface fleet before being commissioned as an officer and joining the submarine force. He served on the USS Michigan and the USS Connecticut.
The shipyard is a challenging environment, Porter said, but the crew will come away from it knowing "that ship inside and out." Porter and Beardsley met for the first time on Wednesday so Porter could see the hull section.
Outside of the bustling building shed, EB's three graving docks are currently filled with three submarines undergoing repairs. Beardsley, who has worked at EB for 14 years, remembers when the Jimmy Carter and the Virginia were there.
"This is by far the busiest we've been since then," he said.

When Is It Time To Hang Up the Pen?; 'It's My Last Book. Really. No, I Mean Really, Really.'
By DOREEN CARVAJAL
Published: August 23, 2000
There comes a moment in the twilight of literary careers when some popular authors feel compelled to reveal plot twists in their own lives that lead to unlikely denouements: pensions and retirement planning.
As summer beckoned, the self-described airport author Maeve Binchy declared to headlines in London that her 12th book, ''Scarlet Feather,'' was her very last big novel. So millions of loyal readers should expect no more sprawling page-turners from this Irish bard of heartache, humor and transcontinental house-swapping.
''I'm not at all a Frank Sinatra person who can be lured back,'' warned Ms. Binchy, 60, a former teacher and journalist whose best sellers, like ''Tara Road,'' have earned her Oprah Book Club celebrity, advances in the $10 million range and sales in her homeland that outstrip those of William Butler Yeats and Oscar Wilde.
Ms. Binchy was followed by Rosamunde Pilcher, 75, who revealed that she was shaping the final chapter of a 50-year career that has produced several cozy best sellers about English hearth and home. Her latest, ''Winter Solstice,'' with 600,000 copies in print, soared to the top of the fiction best-seller list of The New York Times after St. Martin's Press published it this month.
''I don't think I could write another,'' Mrs. Pilcher, whose latest book commanded an advance of more than $6 million, said in an interview. ''I hate publicity.''
Such open declarations raise a delicate issue in the literary world, where there are no standard tribal retirement rituals. It is a long way from the universe of sports, which lavishes attention on its pensioners. Computer keyboards are not retired. Career best-seller records do not lead to teary stadium send-offs. The creative force that drives writing may still burn, but the energy to promote a book fades like the pitching arm of a middle-aged hurler. In some ways, mulling a writerly finale seems a bit morbid; or, as Mrs. Pilcher put it in a polite British accent, ''I don't think I thought about it anymore than my own death.''
The retiring literary set is a group usually overlooked in favor of writers like Saul Bellow, who this year, at 85, delivered ''Ravelstein,'' his first major novel in more than a decade. '' The very notion of a pension is not suitable publishing-party conversation.
''I think I've only discussed this with one other author,'' said Sidney Offit, 71, the author of more than a dozen books and the president of the Authors Guild Foundation, the educational arm of the Authors Guild. He added: ''Retirement depends on why people need to write. For some people, writing is the only world they control; it satisfies a therapeutic aim. Other people have a message they want to deliver and when they're done, they're out. Then there are people who write under the Sam Johnson dictum: 'Anyone who writes for anything other than money is a blockhead.' ''
The issue is so touchy that some writers refuse to discuss it. Sidney Sheldon, for example, declined to be interviewed for this article. At 83, he is publishing his 17th novel, ''The Sky Is Falling,'' next month.
Ray Bradbury, who just turned 80, keeps writing despite the effects of a stroke he had months ago.
''I wrote part of my novel while I was in the hospital, and I wrote a screenplay,'' he said in an interview. ''You want to live, don't you? If you don't give up, you don't die.'' Mr. Bradbury continues to deliver lectures from a wheelchair, and in the fall of 2001 he will publish a novel about a friendly vampire family called the Elliots, a work that he has been laboring on sporadically for about 55 years.
Three years ago, Kurt Vonnegut, 77, insisted that his 19th book, ''Timequake,'' was the last in his almost 50-year career. Back then, he confessed relief that he had crossed the marathon finish line. But now his retirement is an issue that he declines to address. ''Well, I don't want to talk about that,'' he said from his summer home in Sagaponack, a Hamptons retreat on the South Fork of Long Island that is the literary parallel to a Florida retirement community.
Many older writers decide at some point to devote more time to their lives than to their characters. A prosperous Shakespeare is said to have retreated in perfect health to Stratford in his last two years and produced nothing, leaving others to finish his incomplete plays.
Lately, even some middle-aged authors have felt compelled to seek short forms of semiretirement. At 45, the Scottish author Iain M. Banks, whose first novel was ''The Wasp Factory,'' announced a few months ago that he was taking a year off from a relentless writing schedule that has resulted in an annual novel or science fiction title for the last 16 years.
''His wife wanted him to spend some time with her,'' explained Mic Cheetham, Mr. Banks's literary agent in London, who called the break a sabbatical. ''I don't know why some writers say they are retiring. Maybe to get people not to phone them? One of the things about writing is that it's such a very private business. But when you become a best-selling writer, it becomes very public, and everyone keeps asking, 'When's the next one?' Then everyone is completely astonished when you say you're taking a year off. It seems to me very normal.''
The increasing rigors of a public literary life are often the deciding factor.
Maeve Binchy's epiphany came as she was sitting at a book event beside another successful writer whom she would identify only as ''a very bad-tempered woman.''

An elevator car operating assembly is of a modular construction which allows customization of the assembly for a given installation. An inner frame is provided upon which the car operating controls are mounted. The inner frame is constructed to mount a variety of controls in predetermined positions. The controls are mounted thereon as appropriate for the elevator installation. A circuit board mounts to a rear face of the inner frame, and interfaces with the controls assembled on the inner frame. The circuit board preferably is pre-fabricated to interface with each operating control which can be mounted to the inner frame. An insert is located on a front face of the inner frame. The insert is customized to the installation, and has apertures aligned with the operating controls utilized; the remaining component-mounting apertures on the inner panel are covered by the insert, whereby a finished appearance to the assembly is provided. An outer frame surrounds the inner frame and mounts the assembly to the elevator car wall.
1. A modular elevator car operating panel assembly adapted to accommodate a variety of operating button orientations and layouts, comprising: an inner frame; a plurality of car operating controls, including floor button assemblies, mounted to the inner frame; a main printed circuit board mounted to a rear face of the inner frame and bearing components to interface with said car operating controls and means for coupling the car operating controls to a remote car control system; an insert located on a front face of the inner frame and having a plurality of individual apertures through a solid face, each of said apertures being aligned with one of the car operating controls whereby the one car operating control is accessible within the aperture and the locations on the inner frame not occupied by operating controls are covered by the solid face of the insert LOCATIONS; and an outer frame supporting the inner frame and mountable to an elevator car surface.
2. The elevator car operating panel assembly of claim 1 wherein the inner frame has a plurality of apertures each adapted to accept for independent mounting one of said in a discrete position, said printed circuit board bearing components to interface with the car operating controls located at each of said discrete positions.
3. The elevator car operating panel assembly of claim 2 wherein said floor button assemblies each comprise a button, an actuator spring and a halo, said printed circuit board components interfacing with the button assemblies comprising a switch.
4. The elevator car control panel of claim 2 wherein the front face of the inner frame includes a peripheral recess to accept the insert.
5. An elevator car operating panel assembly, comprising an inner frame adapted to support a plurality of car operating controls, the inner frame having apertures for mounting the car operating controls at predetermined locations upon the inner frame; at least one car operating control mounted upon the inner frame and extending forwardly thereof; an insert positioned upon a front face of said inner frame the insert having apertures for acceptance of the at least one car operating control mounted upon the main frame and having an overlying surface covering the vacant apertures of the inner frame; a circuit board mounted to a rear face of the inner frame and having electrical components positioned to couple at least the at least one car operating control mounted upon the inner frame to an elevator operating system; and an outer frame surrounding the inner frame for mounting the car operating panel assembly upon an elevator inner wall surface.
6. The elevator car operating panel assembly of claim 5, wherein the electrical components of the circuit board are positioned to couple car operating controls mounted at each of the predetermined locations upon the inner frame.
The present invention relates to a new and improved construction for elevator car operating panels.
Elevator car floor designation buttons and ancillary operating controls are typically mounted individually in a large metal panel located on an inner wall of the car and commonly referred to as a swing return cover. Each designation button assembly may contain its own individual circuit board, if car control is electronic, or may comprise simply a switch and indicator light if car control activation is electrical or electro-mechanical in nature. Each button, whether electronic or electrical, is individually wired to the other buttons, as well as to terminal blocks, and/or other device and hardware on the return cover. The manual wiring interconnections required are time and labor intensive, and offer many opportunities for error. In addition, great care must be taken with the wiring process to ensure solid and reliable connections and fitting.
The button and control layout, and the associated wiring for each car, is customized for the car. In the event the operating parameters for the car changes, for example by the desired inclusion of additional floor stops, a new panel must be designed and wired. Typically the old panel cannot be modified.
It is accordingly a purpose of the present invention to provide a car operating panel which allows flexibility and modularity for interconnection of individual switch buttons assemblies and other operating controls.
A further purpose of the present invention is to provide a car operating panel which can accommodate a variety of button orientations and layouts.
It is a still further purpose of the present invention to provide an elevator car operating panel which is of economical design and layout and minimizes assembly time and expense.
In accordance with foregoing and other objects and purposes, an elevator car operating panel in accordance with the present invention comprises an inner panel which provides structural support and mounting provisions for the various operating button assemblies and other necessary components of the operating panel. The button assemblies, circuit boards and the like can be mounted on the inner panel in a variety of configurations, the specific arrangement and orientation of the components being appropriate for the specific car requirements. An insert is placed over the inner panel with apertures configured in the appropriate and specific configuration of the intended application. The insert provides a finished appearance for the operating panel. An outer frame surrounds the inner panel, with the insert being supported between the inner panel and outer frame.
In addition to providing a mounting surface for the operating controls, the rear side of the inner panel supports a main circuit board. The main circuit board may include switches and associated components at each location at which an operating button can be located, and is so mounted on the inner panel that there is the required interconnection between the switches on the main board and the operating buttons mounted to the inner panel. Thus, only a single master board is needed to accommodate a variety of button configurations. In addition to floor buttons, controls for other functions, such as security calling, emergency switching, fire personnel control and the like may be similarly mounted on the inner panel to interface with the corresponding switchgear and other interface components on the master board. Thus, full flexibility in layout and design is accomplished with a minimum of different components.
A fuller understanding of the present invention will be achieved upon consideration of the following detailed description of a preferred, but nonetheless illustrative embodiment of the invention, when considered in association with the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a front view of a car operating panel of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a rear view thereof;
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the inner panel, insert and outer frame; and
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a typical assembly of operating buttons and controls, an assembled inner panel, insert and outer frame, and a circuit board.
With reference to the figures, car operating panel 10 is constructed and adapted to be mounted upon the outer surface of an elevator car swing return cover, the return cover typically being in the form of a large metal panel. Car operating panel 10 forms a complete assembly which may be coupled to an appropriate electrical connector on the swing cover, allowing the car operating panel to be coupled to the elevator operating system. The outer frame or housing 16 of the car operating panel mates the operating panel to the swing cover. The housing may be of cast metal or another appropriate material chosen and configured to both support the operating panel and be compatible with the elevator car interior. The outer frame is mountable to the swing cover by small bolts or other fastening means as known in the art.
As seen in FIG. 1, the outer frame 16 surrounds a plurality of individual car operating elements and controls, such as the fireman's key and button unit 18, floor lockout key switch assembly 20, a call telephone button assembly 22, floor buttons assemblies 24, door open and close button assemblies 26, alarm button assembly 28, and emergency switch assembly 30, which are each mounted to an inner frame or panel 32 seen in FIG. 3, which cannot be seen in FIG. 1, as the frame or panel 32 is overlaid by a decorative insert 36. As shown in the figure, the floor button assemblies 24 may be arranged in a single column with a open space adjacent thereto. Alternatively, the floor button assemblies may be arranged in other configurations dependent on the number of floors controlled. Additional or fewer operating buttons and controls, as appropriate for the elevator installation, can be utilized as needed.
In accordance with modern constructions, and as seen in further detail in FIG. 3, each of the buttons 18-30 may comprise the operating button itself, a button base to which a leaf spring is mounted, and a �halo� 44. The �halo� surrounds the button proper, provides a place for mounting a braille designation as may be required, guides the operating button when operated, and provides a finished appearance around the front surface of the button. The button assembly may be tailored for the specific associated button function. Other operating controls, such as lockout key switch assemblies 20 detailed in FIG. 4, are similarly configured with a halo mount 44 to support the movable operable elements, such as the key lock unit 46 and contour the assembly as required.
FIG. 2 presents a rear view of the operating panel 10. The inner frame or panel 32, typically constructed of an appropriate plastic, can be seen as sitting within the outer frame 16, providing the mounting surface for the individual button and control assemblies 18-30, as well as a speaker and microphone assembly 42. With further reference to FIG. 4, the inner panel 32 may include a series of apertures 48 of various sizes into which the button and control assemblies are mounted by a snap-type fit utilizing integral connectors 50 formed into the inner panel which engage corresponding connectors formed as part of the button and control assemblies. Alternatively, the switch and control assemblies may be mounted to the inner panel with discrete fasteners, such as nuts and bolts or rivets. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner panel preferably has the mounting apertures 48 laid out to accept a variety of button and control assembly configurations, with the button and control assemblies being of common dimensions to allow flexibility in positioning upon the inner panel in accordance with general layout guidelines and conventions. The inner panel, with the button and control assemblies mounted thereto, in the desired and required locations, forms an integral subassembly which may be assembled at the factory in a convenient and economical manner.
Circuit board 34 is mounted to the rear face of inner panel 32 by spacer/connectors as known in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the circuit board 34 may be positioned to overlie at least the floor operating button assemblies 24. The printed circuit board includes electrical switches and light-emitting diode assembles oriented and arranged on the board to interface with the floor operating buttons such that when an operating button is depressed, its spring-actuated plunger activates the corresponding switch on the circuit board. As known in the art, such actuation may be mechanical, magnetic, or the like. The printed circuit board can also provide interface circuitry for the remaining switches on the inner panel which may be connected to the printed circuit board with prefabricated wiring harnesses or connectors. As shown in FIG. 4, plunger assemblies 52, which are mounted to the back surface of the inner panel 32, may include contacts 54 which engage corresponding contact sets 56 on printed circuit board 34.
The printed circuit board may preferably be fabricated in an economical manner to accommodate a variety of features, the features being implemented through the connection of the board to the appropriate switch through a wire harness. For example, the board may be fabricated to accommodate a chosen number of floor buttons arranged in a particular pattern. If a particular car configuration requires fewer floor buttons, the additional switches on the printed circuit are not utilized, as there will be no corresponding button assembly installed on the inner panel to activate the switch. In a similar manner, a full array of features may be provided for on the main board, the features being utilized only as needed when a corresponding switch is provided on the inner panel. While such a methodology provide a small amount of increased cost to the incorporation of possibly unused components, such cost is more than compensated for by the decrease in costs and inventory required and associated with a need for customized board assemblies.
The circuit board 34 may also include a primary cable and/or connector (not shown) to allow interface between the operating panel and the appropriate connector on the swing cover. As known in the art, such connection would also provide appropriate power and ground connections.
As further shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, decorative metal insert 36 is located upon the outer front face of the inner panel 32 to provide a finished appearance for the operating panel. The metal insert is manufactured specific to the intended construction and layout of the operating panel, having apertures aligned with the button and control assemblies actually utilized and mounted on the inner panel, with an otherwise solid appearance overlying the remaining portions of the panel. Accordingly, while the inner panel 32 can be configured in a variety of patterns for a broad range of applications, the metal insert 36 provides a customized, application-specific appearance for the operating panel.
As further depicted in FIG. 3, the inner frame 32 may be formed with a recessed front surface portion 38 surrounded by an integral bezel-like edge portion 40. The metal insert 36 provides a frictional fit within the recess. Locating pins 56 and bores 58 may assist in retaining the insert. Alternatively, the outer frame 16 may be formed with a peripheral lip which allows the front metal insert 36 to be retained between the lip and the inner panel 32. The inner panel 32 may be retained within the frame by integral fasteners or individual fastening means, such as locking screws, as known in the art, forming a sandwich-like construction.
Because of its modular type construction, the car operating panel in accordance with the present invention may be of compact size, and may measure approximately 9 inches by 24 inches, whereas a traditional car operating panel having an equivalent number of operating buttons may occupy a space of 16 inches by 84 inches or greater. The reduced size translates into both reduced cost and decreased assembly time. Because circuit board 34 may be fully populated, the amount of discrete wiring required is substantially reduced. This further translates into increased reliability and reduced assembly cost.
Inclusion of the metal insert 36 permits a common inner panel and printed circuit board for a plurality of applications. It further reduces factory rework in the event the operating button layout is improper, as in such case only the insert having the improper punching needs to be discarded.

I must admit it's tough for me to write this post, to share with you passages from a woman's very personal diary, a young woman who had breast cancer, fought it and then passed away. It's tough because it makes me sad that Laura, a young wife and mom to little girl Charlotte, had to die. It's tough because Laura had the same disease I had, and that makes me consider my own mortality (again). I also feel guilty, in a weird sort of way, that I'm living and she isn't.
It's all so unfair, the way breast cancer swoops in, takes over and does what it wants. There's no changing it at this moment in time, I know, but I like to think that awareness is a pretty powerful tool for clobbering the disease. Because if we know about breast cancer, how to help prevent it, how to empower those who have it and how to honor those whose lives are lost along the way, we can surely make strides. And this is why I pay tribute to Laura today.
What follows are a few excerpts from Laura's journal, each one included in the book "My Life with Laura: A Love Story," written by Laura's Husband, Chad Moutray. If you like what you read and want more, please order your own book right here.
And so we begin.
In May 2006, after experiencing breast-feeding difficulties, Laura was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in her left breast and surrounding lymph nodes. She went through the "ringer," she wrote, thought she was in the clear and then the disease can back.
June 8, 2006
I started chemotherapy today. More on that later, but for now, I feel seasick, mild headache between eyebrows, a little warm. Drinking lots of water and staying still. Numbness coating legs, feet, knees so a little wobbly. Loud noises are a little startling. Foggy brain.
Late June/Early July 2006
I have breast cancer, And now everyone else knows it, too, because my hair fell out and I have to wear scarves. But it's okay because I'm getting better.
After a trip to the emergency room, a four-day stay in the hospital for low white blood cell counts, viral and bacterial infections and surgeries, Laura wrote:
I am learning to find a deeper peace with God.
Chad writes that things go well for a bit. Laura feels better, they don't need to rely on volunteers as much and Laura does a little potty-training with Charlotte. Chad and Laura are optimistic. So are doctors. Then things go downhill. Laura experiences severe pain, suspicious spots are found on her hip and Laura has back surgery to fix a fractured vertebra. Her disease had progressed.
After contemplating the real possibility that she might die from her cancer, Laura wrote a letter to her husband, Chad. A few of the sentences she wrote:
I'd like to be creamated because it takes up less space, is cleaner, and quick/easy/cheaper.
If you want to remarry (which is fine, you deserve it), find someone who wants to be a good mother to Charlotte. Maybe someone who could give her some brothers and sisters.
Please let her be in contact with my family, even if it's only once a year at the holidays if you choose to move away. They love her, and I want her to really know and love them, too.
On November 13, 2007, Laura passed away. But her legacy lives on in My Life With Laura: A Love Story, a book dedicated to little Charlotte, so she will forever know her mother.

Hardwood floor, color variation
I currently have oak trim throughout my home, which has a honey color. I am interested in a darker floor that complements the current oak trim. I have fallen in love with the look of an engineered tigerwood, but I would really prefer an unfinished domestic that can be stained. Any suggestions for a species or staining method that might offer more color variation? Would something "character grade" be appropriate?
Northern ash flooring will give you blonds, tans and browns. Also, so-called "brown maple" can be acquired that will give lots of color variation.
Finishing with a high quality clear coating, such as commercial two-part waterborne urethane or another non-yellowing wood floor finish, will give you a vivid result that will change little over time.
If you can't find what you are looking for in the usual distribution channels, try some local flooring mills.

The sun will now rise in America since our beloved fighter for freedom, Senator Ted Cruz has thrown his mouth into the race for that office. Anyone who loves America has to support this candidacy. Let me explain:
1. Ted Cruz has the enthusiastic support of the Flintstones and most dinosaurs. Finally, someone who will stand up for we Neanderthals!
2. Ted Cruz is either the brother or father of Jesus Christ. We will soon discover which one.
3. Ted is a Christian who loves Jews like Bibi Netanyahu.
4. OK, so John McCain calls him a "wacko." Just remember John was the one who gave us Sarah Palin!
5. If elected, Ted will send atomic bombs to hit Iran, to hit ISIS in Iraq and Russia. Finally, we can discover what a Russian a-bomb sounds like.
6. Ted loves his wife and kids.
7. Finally, someone who makes Mitt Romney come across as a viable candidate for president.
8. Christians believe the world will end and we all go to heaven. What better man to accomplish that goal than Ted Cruz?
9. If elected, stupidity will reign in America. So, how will this be different than what we have today?

Isn't CVs for those who had some years in a given career under their belt. I've heard 5-10 years would be ideal before making a CV.
That seems logical to me - indeed, if there's not going to be much professional history on there why make one, but apparently it's pretty much essential now that you have a CV, and fill it with any and all voluntary work experience, hobbies that give you useful skills and experiences, educational history, etc. Apparently it's not just for getting a high-placed professional job that requires a history of experience in a given field, it's needed for almost any job (and even those that ask for no CVs send you application forms that basically ask for for all the information you'd have on the CV anyway).
We're always told that drawing up a basic CV (later tailoring it for different jobs) is basically the first essential step towards employment, and you know how it is - when they give you a hoop to jump through you have to do it or you get nowhere.

vaccuum leaks are the most common reasons for stalling.
is the check engine light on??
what was your issue prior to replacing the o2 sensor.
Answer #2Bret Bodas December 28, 2010, 12:25Master
This is going to require an inspection to determine what is going on. If you just had a shop replace the O2 sensor then I suggest taking it back to them.
How long has it been since you had this repair done? Did this occur right after the repair?
Replybackyard tech, December 28, 2010, 14:21Master
I bet he took it to a parts house and they told him he needed to change his O2 sensors and he did, by himself, and that didn't fix the problem. Now he has to spend some real money to address the problem. Just guessing.

Full of junk trinkets and cheap tourist memoribilia. There were a few things in there but it was cluttered and cramped. The shevlves were a mess. Needs a deep cleaning!
very interesting history and legends of the Niagara. Unbelievable that the woman made it over the falls, I think back in 1902. When you see how that water is rushing around you are amazed that anyone could survive the falls.
Perhaps children would enjoy this experience. The history of the falls area is presented in an experiential format. We felt we would have enjoyed doing something else with this time.
Time we were there was very windy, could not see anything from the 3 tunnel portals other than spray. Recall earlier summer visit when you could actually see the water from the falls and not the spray. Reduced price or not, you paid for a 140 ft elevator ride and got to walk through a tunnel with spray blowing in,...

Very informative and the admission price was quite reasonable. Take the tram down which is directly across from the Embassy Suites. Get a day pass - again very reasonably priced. Lots of shops inside and my wife and I found the tunnels fascinating. You're going to get SOAKED though so be prepared.
Lasted about 25 minutes. It's about the history of people going over the falls in barrels etc. Not real exciting
It is truly wonderful to know the history surrounding a famous attraction. The legend of the falls movies dones exactly this and more
The movie discussed a lot of history of the falls and the Native American influence on the names of the different falls. Very interesting.
Interesting 30 minute movie on the falls and some of the people who went over it. On the American side of the falls.

High Quality Kitchen Cabinets
The most expensive element of kitchen design and construction are the cabinets. A good rule of thumb, the experts say, is to buy the best affordable quality at the beginning. Be sure to advance-order the cabinets before any construction is started.

You Know When the Men Are Gone (12 Edition)by Fallon
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
A novel about surviving on the home front, fathers and daughters, and the limits and limitlessness of love
Becca Keller is no stranger to the way war can change a man. Her Vietnam vet father, King, has been more out of her life than in. Her mother boycotts her wedding because Becca is making the same mistakes she did—yoking herself to a man just back from battle. And Ben is different after this second tour. Within days of the wedding he turns dangerous, and Becca runs to the only person she has left.
King, though, is heading West with his motorcycle buddies, out to a place they call Kleos. A mysterious desert compound ruled over by a guru-like commanding officer, it is a refuge for some soldiers, but might be the death of others. There, Becca will be faced with the possibility that she may not know the real damage in her loved ones' hearts. In finally seeing her father's demons, she might just be able to start with her husband on their own journey back to peace.
The Heart You Carry Home lays bare the violence soldiers bring home, as one woman fights for the men in her life who have been scarred by different wars in disturbingly similar ways. It "combines great storytelling with social questions that are both as current and as old as war" (Karl Marlantes). And it mines the trials of generations of American families to find hope for the next.
A young woman learns how to confront the lingering consequences of war when she rides along with her distant father and his fellow vets on a cross-country motorcycle trip that will take them away from her new, Iraq-scarred husband and toward a mysterious military cult in the Utah desert.
A blistering debut that does for the Iraqi perspective on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan what Phil Klays Redeployment does for the American perspective
The first major literary work about the Iraq War from an Iraqi perspective—by an explosive new voice hailed as perhaps the best writer of Arabic fiction alive" (The Guardian)—The Corpse Exhibition shows us the war as we have never seen it before. Here is a world not only of soldiers and assassins, hostages and car bombers, refugees and terrorists, but also of madmen and prophets, angels and djinni, sorcerers and spirits.
Blending shocking realism with flights of fantasy, The Corpse Exhibition offers us a pageant of horrors, as haunting as the photos of Abu Ghraib and as difficult to look away from, but shot through with a gallows humor that yields an unflinching comedy of the macabre. Gripping and hallucinatory, this is a new kind of storytelling forged in the crucible of war.
Through fiction of dazzling skill and astonishing emotional force, Siobhan Fallon welcomes readers into the American army base at Fort Hood, Texas, where U.S. soldiers prepare to fight, and where their families are left to cope after the men are gone. They'll meet a wife who discovers unsettling secrets when she hacks into her husband's email, and a teenager who disappears as her mother fights cancer. There is the foreign born wife who has tongues wagging over her late hours, and the military intelligence officer who plans a covert mission against his own home.
Powerful, singular, and unforgettable, these stories will resonate deeply with readers and mark the debut of a new talent of tremendous note.
About the Author
Siobhan Fallon lived at Fort Hood for three years while her husband, a majorin the Army, was deployed to Iraq for two tours of duty. She earned her MFA at the New School in New York City.

Best place for my ponytail
sharlea2348May 16, 2014
I just got a ponytail and wanted to know where best to keep it. I live in an apt. with southern exposure in Austin, TX. I have a balcony that gets full sun in the afternoon. Temps can get as high as 100 degrees in summer. Should I keep my ponytail in my apt. and open the blinds so it can get sun or can I put it on my balcony?
Thanks Anshudavar20. I put it on my balcony and it gets sun for about 3-4 hours a day. A couple of the top leaves (not sure if they're called leaves) look a little brown. I watered it and put it in a planter with space at the bottom to catch water. I am planning to water it every Sunday. I hope this works out. Thanks again for responding.

The Space
I have studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom condos available. At certain times, even the three bedrooms can be priced very inexpensively. My prices are not fixed at any time as they are not up to me-ever. My price is based upon the points that my timeshare company charges for their rooms. It is based upon supply and demand and can fluctuate wildly. I have been doing this for several years, and can often get my client a great deal.
Guest Access
You can expect all the amenities of a resort. There is also a two night minimum stay.
Interaction with Guests
No interaction once we are done with financial portion of transaction. If you need advice on restaurants or anything else, I am always available. You will be checking in just as you would at a hotel or a resort with the reservation in your name and no additional clearance needed by me.
The Neighborhood
Please do not ask for a reservation unless within 60 days of start of trip. It is very unlikely I would be able to help you. Thanks.
Great host. Great place. Great time. Will definitely use again. Thanks.
This location was spectacular! Will never get enough of the red rock formations. The studio was great; no oven but we made do with the stove top. Also great to have a dishwasher. The bed was comfortable and very nice to have a hot tub out the back to relax in after a hard days hiking. The staff were exceptionally friendly and will definitely recommend to others and stay there ourselves on another return trip. thanks James for all your help throughout.
Our stay at Sedona Summit Resort was everything that James advertised! The check-in was easy and the accommodations were lovely. We were approached to attend a time share presentation but after politely refusing, we were not asked a second time. I would stay again at one of the properties that James has to offer!
Perfect, seamless experience. James made it extremely easy. Will definitely be back.
The property was very comfortable, modern, clean, and definitely excellent value for the money. James was very communicative and a great facilitator of a lovely vacation.
Please refer to previous experience which was done earlier.
This place was perfect. Centrally located to everything someone would want to see in Sedona. The amenities were amazing. The pictures don't do it justice. James was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed and made himself available for questions. The next time I go to Sedona I will definitely stay here again!
This host has 222 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
I am an entrepreneur who loves to travel. This is one of the reasons I bought a timeshare through Diamond Resorts in 2004. It has been a wonderful experience, but most of my travel right now is paid for through the companies that hire me. This leaves me with excess points that I can sell inexpensively in order to cover my maintenance fees.
You win and I win.

Project Interrupted: A Forced Hiatus + Losing Momentum
Do You Suffer from Smartphone Hangovers?
Smarphone hangovers are the new thing in science. Last week I wrote a post about why I wasn't using my smart phone as an alarm anymore and it caused quite an uproar. Researchers at Michigan State University have found that late night use of smartphones (which may include using them before bed) have been scientifically proven to prevent easy sleep.
Not Getting Enough Sleep? Sit Near a Window During the Day
There are plenty of reasons you may not be getting a good night's rest: you're sleeping with your phone, you're a bedtime procrastinator or your bedmate snores or hogs the covers. But maybe it's because your daytime workspace is just too dark.

Pallet Furniture: How to Choose and Prepare Reclaimed Wood for DIY Projects
Pallet projects, in every possible form, were early guests to the DIY party and have stayed around ever since. Using them for the reclaimed wood certainly has its risks (more on that later), but you can't beat the price (which is usually free). Here's a guide to everything you need to know: finding, choosing, cleaning, and breaking down one for use. Once you know the what's what, you can decide for yourself if they are worth the effort.
The 6 Best Water Filter Solutions I've Tested
Since starting Apartment Therapy, I've always felt it's good to do everything you can to make your home comfortable and clean (in as little time as possible), and that air and water quality were fundamental. Living in New York City, I've never had a problem with the water, but when I started to drink cold filtered water I loved the difference. Particularly when making coffee or tea, filtered water really seemed to improve the taste. Years later, this is what I've learned.
Quick! Clean These Filthy Things You Touch Every Day (Then Wash Your Hands)
'Round the Apartment Therapy offices, we have lots of amazing cleaning advice right at our fingertips, but that doesn't mean we always practice what we preach. So when I looked up from my desk the other day to see our marketing coordinator Ashley meticulously cleaning her keyboard, it made me notice (and blanch) at my own mess of a computer. Gross! A brief germaphobe spiral later, we came up with these things you need to clean now and, bonus, a quick tutorial on the right way to wash your hands (it's harder than you think).
Want to Get Healthier? Look at Your Building's Design
Our daily dilemma: stairs or elevator? Seems like it's not a fair fight, right? After all, how can trudging up the dark, depressing concrete stairwell hidden in the back of a building compare to a front-and-center elevator bank waiting to whisk you to your floor? It can't. So how to tempt more people into taking the stairs? As usual, it all comes down to design.
