I'm 16 and I'm looking around for a job to start saving up for college and i thought Barnes&Noble would be an ideal job for me since i love books and know a lot about them. The only problem is i don't know how to apply, and once i apply i have no idea what to expect! Do i apply online or go in person? Will their be an interview? And what are they looking for in a future employee? Will my age keep me from getting the job? Even though i may be younger then most employees their, I've done a lot of things surrounding books, like I"m in a book club that helps the community, i volunteer at the library in the summer, i also do a lot of other community services… But will this guarantee me a job there?

I think my babysitter is stealing from me but I'm not sure?
I have a babysitter who comes overnights sometimes and sometimes during the day to watch my daughters. My daughters both have a Nook. One of them snuck it to school and the sitter said she didn't come home with it. I figured my daughter lost it at school (which is very possible) and it's her fault and my fault that it was taken to school. Now, I check my kids' bags when they leave. I had some expensive mascara come up missing and when I asked her about it, she had it in her purse for some reason but returned it. Then, I had some eyeshadow go missing, she found it again in her possession and returned it. One of my daughter's new dresses went missing, somehow the sitter had it. Since then, it seems like little things go missing. I had $40 go missing out of my kitchen drawer, I am missing some clothes, now my $400 gaming console.
Yesterday, I called the sitter to come help me with a few things and she came and I told her I was leaving to the ER because I was sick. She offered and stayed at my home and cleaned the house so I wouldn't come home to a messy house. She was alone in the house for about an hour. Today, she came over to get a check and we left my home together. I told her I was missing some clothes and described a top I was missing and she quickly found it in my daughter's room. I told her things were just growing legs and walking away. So anyway, we left, I watched her leave and I went to the store. I made sure to lock my house tight. She doesn't have a key. Well, I just got home and went to look for my PS 4 (which was still in the box) and it's gone. The box is there, but the contents are gone. I'm extremely angry, but I don't want to accuse my sitter. A friend of mine has been eyeballing the console since I bought it and I told him he couldn't have it. He has access to my home. I also have a friend who's been in and out. So my sitter isn't the only one I'm looking at here. But how do I know who took it when I ask everyone?

My NOOK HD screen keeps flickering?!
My Nook HD is having screen problems. I got it last February, and it has worked fine up until now. Earlier today I was just reading on it, and it ran out of battery and turned off. I thought nothing of it and plugged it into it's charger. When I tried turning it back on after a while, all I saw was a dim gray screen with a screen puncture that has been on there for about a year now and has not caused any screen problems before this. I waited another few hours and when I checked on it, it was the normal black screen. I turned it on, and the screen was flickering very fast. I tried turning it on and off to see if it was maybe just a glitch or something, but it has stayed like that for about an hour. Please help!

Best vaccum for doghair?
I have two Newfoundlands who shed…well.like Newfoundlands (if you don't know - its a CRAZY amount).
I've been OK so far with vacuuming twice a week with my old bissel, however, we just got a german shepard puppy, and wouldn't you know her fave snack is dog hair clumps… *sigh* and that's not good for her.
I want a vacuum that is not only good at picking up dog hair on my hardwood floors, but has the maneuverability to get underneath out heaters and tables and stuff without being too heavy, since dog hair tends to find all the nooks and crannies it can because it wants to stay (dumb dog hair).
It would also be a super bonus if it had no cord (rechargeable) because I hate having to unplug the vacuum every time I change rooms, and if it was light enough for me to carry around because lets face it most roll-behind vacuums dont really roll…
Also, it would be great if it had either a big bag (so I don't have to replace it every week) OR (even better) a thing that catches all the debris that I can empty out (because buying bags is annoying).
Any advice? Thanks!

How to recover this memory?
I'd like to unpick my memory and recall just how and why I came to develop a particular fear I've been suffering from for the last 2½ years.
HYPNOSIS IS OUT OF THE QUESTION.
So also is any form of therapy, as I can't afford private therapy, and I've been in & out of NHS psychotherapy a lot over the last 25+ years, presently being out of therapy, and unlikely to be able to get back into it anytime soon.
In essence then, I'll be working alone. Books are okay, as would be websites from which I could take print-outs, but I can't afford to use interactive sites.
BUT BACK TO THE POINT: I moved into my house 2½ years ago, and live alone. It's not my house though, but belongs to my Mum, to whom it was bequeathed. Therefore, as it's so important to her - as well as to me - I wanted to take extra special care of it; but in the course of this, I started to develop an irrational fear of all things greasey, be it butter, margarine, cooking oils, etc.
This is because I know they are especially difficult to clean off fabrics and other surfaces, like varnished wood, and can be invisible at first, leading to possible permanent staining, which may be impossible to remove.
As well as this, I also became paranoid about getting any form of grease on my mobile phone, which is a "slider" type - a Samsung S8300 (Tocco Ultra), if it helps. I fear that it may find its way into the phone's holes, nooks, and crannies, causing it to become blocked up with dirt and therefore damaged, especially the camera lens & flash, as they're normally concealed within the "unslid" back cover of the phone; and also that any liquid grease may seep in through the mike or speaker and damage the insides just like water.
WHAT I WANT TO REMEMBER, though, is just how did I start thinking about grease and its possible effects on my phone?
I figure that if I can uncover the circumstances, emotions, general frame of mind, and events that led me to think this way, then perhaps I can bring the fear into perspective, or even dispel it completely. For while I know that I probably do have a bit of a point with regard to grease affecting my phone, I'm not aware of ANYONE ELSE, anywhere, worrying about this; whereas most folk clearly worry about getting their phone wet!
So, have you any ideas, tips, hints, or mental tricks I could use to try to unlock these memories? Any budding Derren Browns or Patrick Janes out there who like to dabble in the mysteries of the human mind? Any psychologists or psychology students?
I'm open to ideas, no matter how zany or bizarre they may seem to most, so long as they're not harmful, and not illegal!
