Want the job? Get the look

Even on a budget, you can present yourself

You need to look sharp for any job interview. But it can be tough to look your best when you don't have much money for clothes. How can those short on cash - including recent college grads and downsized workers - make a stylish impression without going broke?

HEALTH & FAMILY

  • Staying fit, using your wits

    Krav Maga teaches protection, not fighting, and using your brain while you're at it

    Chris Shanahan was looking for a good conditioning workout that would challenge his brain, too.

HOME AND GARDEN

  • Modern collaboration

    As sales slow, Realtors team up to offer themed open houses. Next Sunday, see 10 contemporary homes.

    The slow real estate market has Realtors from competing agencies cooperating in unprecedented ways in an effort to get more potential buyers to tour homes on the market.

ARTS & LIVING

  • Blessed by the peacemaker

    Pastor Barbara Brewton Cameron stood up to gangs, guns and drugs to change Genesis Park -- life by life.

    It's like something out of a movie. Drug gangs hired a street tough to kill Barbara Brewton Cameron. The crusading pastor was cleaning up Double Oaks, the worst neighborhood in Charlotte, and cutting into their bottom line. The gangs put a $3,000 bounty on her head, and they found just the right man to do the wrong thing.

    After Westglow resort trainers make you work up a sweat, you can bliss out at the luxury spa

    As a journalist who does a fair amount of travel writing, I've been fortunate enough to visit a lot of nice resorts and spas.

FAITH

  • Troubled times for Russia's Protestants

    Putin's preference for Orthodox Church belies the Kremlin's official `tolerance'

    It was not long after a Methodist church put down roots here that the troubles began.

Shrubs can make smaller yard a big hit

Q. To cut down on the amount of lawn that has to be mowed and make the front yard look better, I'm going to start preparing some new beds for shrubs and perennials now so I can plant in the fall. I'd like 1 or 2 kinds of shrubs, preferably evergreen, that will stay under 3 or 4 feet or that can be cut back to be that size without spoiling the plants' look. Any suggestions?

Tasting yields surprises among Merlots, roses
