People always ask me why I keep an iron (the type for doing shirts) in my workshop.
I usually say that it's for applying pre-glued lipping to MDF, but it's more often used with water or a damp cloth for taking out dents in wood (no-one believes this unless you demonstrate it).
As long as the grain isn't broken or cut, any dent or bump can be brought out with a few drops of water and an iron -- let it dry, sand, re-laquer, and you'd never know there had been a dent.
That goes for wooden flooring, as well as furniture; a mate of mine was amazed when it only took me two minutes to take out dozens of dents that a chair leg had made in his maple floor, that he'd had to keep covered with a rug.
His missus told me that he spent the next month crawling all around the house with an iron and a glass of water.

That is brilliant, but looks mad I assume

Exactly. You have to actually do it in front of people for them to believe that it works so well.

Where's the best place to look for contractor roles? Doesn't seem to be much on Dice or Monster for LA/SF Valley.
Thanks.

I don't know about the current situation. But when I was in the USA 1.5 years back. The highest number of job requirements I would receive are from Dallas, New York, Boston, Houston, Chicago (In that order). And only a few from LA/SA (These are basically locations for Startups and Chip-based companies).

I really like Phoenix and would love to work there. However, really don't want to move so unless I could commute...

When I had my profile active on Dice a couple of months ago, I received plenty of offers for contract positions in LA (Orange county mostly) and SF (Silicon valley).
However, most of those recruiters would call me up without sending an email first, which annoyed me because a lot of the positions were not in line with my skills.
One recruiter from an agency in Atlanta was very eager to get on with the paper work and wanted me to send all kinds of personal information...he is still waiting.

Most men don't want to get smaller; that's why you don't get "LOSE THREE INCHES!" spam.
Oh, wait...
Were you talking about something else?

I downloaded and installed VS2013.
I like offline help I would like to download it.
Things is I got 3 dev machine! I would like to download the help file as a DVD / .iso and deploy it on each machine! (instead of downloading 3 times from the help>manage screen)
Unfortunately, can't find how to download the help!
Any links please?
[EDIT] Silly me, the HELP>Order Help On DVD
Takes you to a page where you can download it!! ^^ (For VS2012? hopefully it's the same...)

Unfortunately, I think MSDN no longer has help ISOs to download. VS2012 has an 'Order Help On DVD' option in the help menu, but I think that's about it. (I have never used that option).
EDIT: I just found the VS2012 help in the MS Download Center, but there is not a VS2013 help download.
