Career Advice: Spring Clean Your Job Search

Baseball is back. Flowers are in bloom. Garage sale season is on. And everyone you know is frantic to shed those last few winter pounds so they can rock their favorite swimsuit come June (not to mention clean out their closets so they can find that blasted bathing suit in the first place).But when you're job hunting, car organizing your closets and summer social calendar shouldn't be the only to-do's on your spring cleaning list.If your winter search for work has met with limited results, it's time to give your job-seeking strategy a sprucing up, too. Because come beach season, the only things you're going to want to dust off are your barbecue recipes and margarita glasses.Updating your resume and LinkedIn profile are great places to start. But looking good in print and pixels is only a fraction of the battle. If you've spent the last season (or three) trying the same tired old job-hunting tactics, it's time to shake loose the application cobwebs and try ...

Grand sets add to movie grandeur

doweshowbellyad=0; Saawariya's fantasy town was created with 10 sets It may not exactly have set the box-office afire, but there's one thing even the critics have unanimously acknowledged: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya is a visual delight — in no small measure due to the opulent, blue-green 'peacock' sets. "Since the story was short (based on scrubber Dostoevsky's White Nights, it stretches over just four nights), the sets had to speak a lot by being larger than life," says the film's art director Omung Kumar. From an English castle, Gothic church, historical forts to Seventies retro, Bollywood creates it all on home turf. That's because a demanding audience and more overseas releases have forced the film industry to reinvent itself and focus on the 'look' of the film. Be it unusual stories, costumes, props or film sets, all are thrown together to give visual splendour. And for this, the premium attached to...

Microsoft Surface Studio puts 3-D creativity in users ...

SAN FRANCISCO—To hear him tell it, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is out to do more than just sell products. He's aiming for a paradigm shift in the very purpose of technology. Time to stop gobbling it down and to start cranking it out. "The last 10 years have seen a lot of innovat ion indexed largely toward content consumption," Nadella tells USA Today. "But the next 10 will be indexed toward content generation. It'll be about what we can create." To that end, Nadella revealed new hardware and software at the company's Windows 10 event Wednesday in New York that target the inner creative in all of us. The announcements are squarely in keeping with the CEO's mission to make Microsoft's name synonymous with empowering workplace productivity. Anchoring the new hardware is Surface Studio, a $3,000 28-inch monitor powered by its trim base that is just 12.5 millimetres thin and pivots from upright to nearly flat. Think drafting table that packs 13. 5...

A Car's Flotsam Says Much About Priorities of Automotive Pack Rats

Never let it be said that county drivers aren't prepared for any emergency. If our cars break down in the middle of nowhere, we need only reach under the seat or into the glove compartment or trunk and pull out those handy flower seeds, baseball cards, short-story outlines, wilted vegetables, losing lottery tickets and peacock feathers. Those are just a few of the odd items Life on Wheels readers confessed to carrying in their cars, in addition to such mundane provisions as flares and flashlights, tire gauges and tie-down ropes. Jennie of Anaheim found the following assortment of tool items during her auto inventory: 2 bath towels, 4 bed sheets, a pink thermal blanket, a gold bedspread, 1 large hook rug ("uncompleted after 10 years"), 1 stuffed toy cat, 1 insurance card, 1 ice chest (empty), 1 gold plastic heart-shaped Christmas ornament, 3 large brown paper bags, 30 baseball cards, 1 paper towel, 6 tissues, 1 hair clip, 1 gallon antifreeze, 1 drinking glass, 6 stale...

Design innovations change the game in kitchen renovations

It's popularly accepted that the modern-day kitchen is the heart of the home. That heart, however, used to be much smaller. As recently as 50 years ago, kitchens in the United States were primarily thought of as efficient, closed-off and back-of-house spaces solely focused on food preparation and dish washing. These days, kitchens are often a highly visible component of open-house plan concepts, places where guests are entertained and kids do their homework. Some even sport televisions and surround-sound systems that easily bring total price tags north of $100,000. And because we now chill spend so much more time there, most real estate agents will tell you that an updated kitchen is one of the biggest pluses any home on the market can have, especially if it's well done. But even if you're not interested in selling your house, a kitchen renovation is worth considering. An outdated, poorly functioning kitchen can be an energy sucking, eyesore that makes meal preparation a...
