I freaked out last year, and pulled the bricks out that were in the ground as some sort of forgotten walkway. After much use of many bricks, I decided to use them as edging in the yard. Mike helped me put this one together. The pattern is a slanted radial of bricks. If I were to design this properly, I'd have to use some kind of math that I don't know, so Mike and I just squished the bricks into the shape, until it looked right. The layer of bricks underneath is a mirror-image of the top layer. This surrounds our pear tree.

I have an image of the bor

I receive emails from this recruiter several times a month, actually received one today. The job of course sounds to good to be true. As the saying goes if it does then it usually is.
On one ocassion I replied to one which was a contracting position with AT&T. The recruiter replied asking me for my SS#. In turn I asked her why she needed it, and needless to say I never heard another word from her.

Just another money laundering scam. The company itself looks real, but the job offer probably is not. Bad grammar aside, this type of deal is almost always fraudulent.

I'm sorry. This is just bad. It's clearly a blast-to-everyone email. 'nuff said. This company may be 100% on the level, but it doesn't look like it from the unprofessional way things are written. Please, please, PLEASE!!! Don't run your business from a roadrunner email account. Or AOL for that matter.

Another "Just as received" for the Ohio position, you'll notice the text is identical to the Hello Good Day posting. Internet job portal? Wow... This one is only 7 months instead of 8 months, even though it was received the same day as the Hello Good Day posting. I'm still not interested in short-term contract only positions. How many times do I need to say that?

Just as I received it. I'm not qualified for this position, and I clearly state that I'm not interested in short-term contract only positions. Another case of blast-it-out email tactics.

This isn't the worst that has happened to anyone when it comes to recruitment, but hopefully some lessons will be learned here.

Ken Kirkwood of Automation Career Consultants is a technical recruiter in the Maryland area. He claims he is an 'ethical' recruiter. He is no different from the rest of them. I had several interviews, and most of the interviews had nothing to do with the type of work I told him I wanted to do. Let's just say I ended up with a job that I didn't like, I didn't do the kind of work that I wanted, and I didn't like the company at all.

I built this antenna as an experiment. I looked at a few patents, and was inspired by some of the designs for fractal antennas. Without much knowledge or calculating, I put this together from 12/2 romex. I used an El-Cheapo balun from sadoun.com, but I would not recommend these ultra-cheaply-made units. I am using a $0.99 set of baking-racks as a reflector. This picks up every signal around in the City, even though half of the signals are on the other side of my slate roof. I am using an HDHR ATSC/QAM/8vsb HDTV ethernet tuner thingy. 1080p through my ol

Econojacked - adj. - The forceful seizure of one's economic system.

The website for this company is a really slick looking legal services company, that doesn't sem to list any real or head office. The broken English seems to say something else is going on. Either way, I'm not planning on replying. This email came directly from the monster.com internal email system.

I propose a method for displaying channels across the world, collected from users everywhere. This scenario, would be similar to sites like WiFiMaps.com, Flickr, and others, where users upload their content, which is then aggregated with other users' content, to form a large set of data for display. Users can see what channels are actually there, whether VHF, UHF, HDTV, QAM, 8vsb, Cable, Satellite, FiOS -- whatever -- in a non-marketing-hype kinda way. This could be coupled with sites like Zap2It, or SchedulesDirect, to provide an additional layer of clarity in what is advertised, versus what is reality, and even different package-plans or antenna types. Coverage maps can be provided generated and overlayed with Google Maps. This should prove to be an interesting feature for the Internet.

Just another word about UGA in case anyone is curious:

I accepted an interview with them. I have no interest or experience with insurance, and I do not have experience in sales.

The interview was an informative session, explaining why they are able to both provide optimum coverage for customers and also provide such lucrative compensation for agents.

Hello,

I'm a French PhD student in sociology. My research focuses on "innovations made by and for users". I have decided to particularly focus on "Wireless Community Networks" which are illustrative of a new type of approach more autonomous, alternative and civic.
For the last two years, I have been interviewing French members of "Wifi Community Networks"; I talked with them about their commitment and about the life of their project. Now, I carry on with my research and I propose you to answer to my questionnaire. This questionnaire will enable me to gather data on a wider population: members of European and North American "Wireless Communities".
