LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
The mandatory re-districting of both magisterial and representative districts has caused confusion among many Laurel Countians.
The legislative re-districting is especially mind-boggling, as this year's appropriations splits Laurel County into even more representative areas.
Laurel County Clerk Dean Johnson recently issued documents to assist Laurel Countians who might question who currently represents them in the state legislature as well as in the local magisterial districts.
"People are confused with the re-districting, especially the magistrate districts," Johnson said. "The biggest change is the state legislative districts, but people are confused about who their magistrate is with the changes."
With the new plan, part of the Laurel districts are being placed in the 90th representative district, that formerly included only Clay, Leslie and Harlan counties. Tim Couch is the current representative, but the re-districting places nine Laurel voting precincts in that district, including four of the London precincts.
After the recent re-districting, the new legislative districts and their respective precincts are:
State Representative District 82 - Felts, Keavy, Level Green, South Laurel and Springcut; currently represented by Regina Bunch.
District 85 - Campbell, Cold Hill, Colony, Colony #2, Hart, Hart #2, independence, Liberty, Liberty #2, London #5, Rockhouse, and Sublimity #2; currently represented by Tommy Turner.
District 86 - Campground, Fariston, Fariston #2, Lily, London East, McHargue, Rough Creek, Rough Creek #2, Stansberry, and Sublimity; currently represented by Jim Stewart III.
District 89 - Crossroads, East Bernstadt #1, East Bernstadt #2, London #6, London #7, Maplesville, Oakley, Pittsburg, and Viva; currently represented by Marie Rader.
District 90 - Blackwater, Bush, Johnson, Lake, London #1, London #2, London #3, London #4, and McWhorter; currently represented by Tim Couch.
Magistrates and their respective districts are:
Magistrate District 1 - Campground, London #3, London East, McHargue, Rough Creek, Stansberry, Sublimity and Sublimity #2; currently held by Roy Crawford.
Magistrate District 2 - Fariston, Fariston #2, Felts, Lily, Rough Creek #2, and Springcut; represented by Danny Smith.
Magistrate District 3 - Blackwater, Bush, Johnson, Lake, London #1, London #2, Maplesville, and McWhorter; represented by Teddy Benge.
Magistrate District 4 - Crossroads, East Bernstadt #1, East Bernstadt #2, Liberty, London #7, Oakley, Pittsburg, and Viva; currently held by Jeff Book.
Magistrate District 5 - Colony, Colony #2, Hart, Hart #2, Liberty #2, London #4, and London #5; represented by Billy Oakley.
Magistrate District 6 - Campbell, Cold Hill, Independence, Keavy, Level Green, Rockcastle, and South Laurel; represented by Noah Baker.

"Tri Tim" Aiming for Triathlon Success after Life Transformation
Media Release
Laguna Phuket Golf Club director Tim Haddon teed-off on the biggest challenge of his life earlier this year when he decided to get fit enough to take on the Laguna Phuket Triathlon (LPT) – no mean feat for an overweight diabetic with a history of heart attacks.
Now his life-changing challenge reaches its climax at the triathlon start line tomorrow morning, Sunday 27 November, after a six-month life-changing odyssey that has transformed Tim into a self-confessed fitness freak.
Under the personal supervision of trainer Darren Hancock, General Manager of RPM Health Club, on a programme designed around triathlon's disciplines of swimming, cycling and running, Tim has shed more than 12 kg and achieved fitness goals previously beyond his wildest imagination.
"It's been tough, but greatly enjoyable because there have been tangible benefits along the way," says Tim.
"The hardest part was probably deciding to do it in the first place – but once I got over that particular hurdle and began the journey there was no turning back."
Australian Tim, aged 43, confesses that he's always been overweight and only indulged in basic forms of exercise as a child, apart from playing golf which became his chosen profession.
However, his weight spiraled to 114kg and despite being a non-smoker and teetotaller, Tim's health began to suffer. He developed Type 2 diabetes and a heart problem – with both conditions controlled by a daily cocktail of 17 different medications.
As an "occasional member" of RPM Health Club he was no stranger to the inside of a gym but lacked the impetus and a goal to make it work.
That changed when a conversation in May with Darren and fellow gym member Debbie Dionysius, Event Director of the Laguna Phuket triathlons, got him thinking the unthinkable – to get fit enough to do a triathlon.
Once the decision was made everything started to come together – and the "Tri Tim" project was born.
From the programme's initial months of weight reduction and basic training, to triathlon-specific disciplines and endurance training, Tim has kept doggedly at the pursuit of his dream.
"I won't pretend that it's all been plain sailing. There were glitches in September when a combination of sickness, business travel and a knee injury knocked my programme off-kilter," he says.
"But the value of following a dedicated programme with a trainer such as Darren is that your new-found mental discipline quickly gets you back into the groove.
Even when I took my holiday in July, travelling with the family back to Australia, I stuck to my diet and kept up my training."
Tim cites a number of fitness achievements along the way as great encouragements – the highlight being his conquering of LPT's fearsome Naithon hills on the bike course at his first attempt in September.
And for good measure, he followed that up days later by successfully climbing the Ao Po hills on the Ironman 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship bike course!
Tim's transformed physical condition has been accompanied by a welcome improvement in his health, with the result that a number of his medications have been greatly reduced in strength or ditched altogether.
He's now immersed in all things fitness, with a dedication to good diet and a fondness for triathlon magazines.
"When I look back at how I was during last year's Laguna Phuket Triathlon it's hard to believe I'll be lining up at the swim start this year alongside hundreds of seasoned triathletes," he says.
"I wouldn't have managed to get here without all the time and effort that Darren put into everything along the way.
"It's been a long, hard journey and I'm relishing putting everything together to complete my first triathlon.
"But this is a life journey and I'm sure there will be more to come in the future."
So look out for "Tri Tim" tomorrow and give him every encouragement to cross the finish line!
All work and no play is not an option at Laguna Phuket. Experience dramatic landscapes, waterfalls, monkeys, elephants, adventure safaris, trekking, private boat charters, sailing, scuba diving, cultural theme shows, game fishing, canoeing and so much more.

Title VII is an anti-discrimination law based on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, that prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, sex/gender, age, religion, creed, disability, veterans status and disabled veterans, and national origin. Title VII was designed as a broad remedial measure, rather than a punitive statute, to seek to remedy discrimination through conciliation and cooperation. Washington State RCW 49.60, is based on the same premise and also includes prohibiting discrimination based on marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity.
The Department conducts investigations of alleged acts of discrimination and harassment based on an individual's civil rights, that is, their race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, status as a veteran or a disabled veteran, or the presence of any form of sensory, mental or physical disability or use of a service animal. An investigation is defined as the process used to determine the facts to support or disprove a complaint or report of an alleged incident. The investigation seeks to gather and report the truth and all the facts. If an employee believes he or she has been subjected to discrimination or harassment in violation of their civil rights, he or she may file a complaint with their supervisor, Human Resources Consultant or the Statewide Investigation Compliance Coordinator. To provide and maintain a workplace free from discrimination or harassment, the Department may pursue an inquiry into allegations of discrimination, harassment, or violation of policy or rules with or without authorization from the complainant. All investigations are conducted under the guidelines provided in the Human Resources Policy Manual. Retaliation will not be tolerated against any complainant or person who participates in an investigation of allegations of discrimination, harassment or policy violations. The investigator will submit an independent and impartial report with respect to the established facts of the case. If you have questions or concerns about discrimination or harassment pertaining to Title VII, please contact our Office of Human Resources Equal Opportunity group.

This statement sets forth the applicable standards for members when recommending tax return positions, or preparing or signing tax returns filed with any taxing authority.
This statement also addresses a member's obligation to advise a taxpayer of relevant tax return disclosure responsibilities and potential penalties.
Tax return position is defined as (i) a position reflected on a tax return on which a member has specifically advised a taxpayer or (ii) a position about which a member has knowledge of all materials facts and, on the basis of those facts, has concluded whether the position is appropriate.
SSTS No. 2, Answers to Questions on Returns
This statement sets forth the applicable standards for members when signing the preparers declaration on a tax return if one or more questions on the return have not been answered. The term "questions" includes requests for information on the return, in the instructions, or in the regulations, whether or not stated in the form of a question.
A member should make a reasonable effort to obtain the information necessary to provide appropriate answers to all questions on a tax return before signing as preparer. Not all questions are of equal importance but, questions may be useful in determining taxable income. Answers may require additional disclosure and a member often must sign a preparer's declaration stating that the return is true, correct, and complete.
This statement sets forth the applicable standards for members concerning the obligation to examine or verify certain supporting data or to consider information related to another taxpayer when preparing a taxpayer's tax return.
A member may rely on information provided by the client or rd parties. The member should confirm that substantiation documentation exists, where required. A member should also consider information actually known, even if from another related taxpayer.
This statement sets forth the applicable standards for members when using the taxpayer's estimates in the preparation of a tax return, but the taxpayer has the responsibility to provide the estimated data. Appraisals or valuations are not considered estimates for purposes of this statement.
A member may use estimates to prepare a tax return if it is not practical to obtain exact data and if the member determines that the estimates are reasonably based on the facts and circumstances known. When using estimates the member should not present numbers to imply a greater accuracy than actually exists.
This statement sets forth the applicable standards for members in recommending a tax return position that departs from the position determined in an administrative proceeding or in a court decision with respect to the taxpayer's prior return.
If an administrative proceeding or court decision has resulted in a determination concerning a specific tax treatment of an item in a prior year's return, a member will usually recommend the same tax treatment in subsequent years. Although this is common, it is not required to recommend the same tax treatment so long as SSTS No. 1, Tax Return Positions, is satisfied with respect to the new position.
This statement sets forth the applicable standards for member who becomes aware of (a) an error in a taxpayer's previously filed tax return; (b) an error in a return that is the subject of an administrative proceeding; or (c) a taxpayer's failure to file a required tax return.
When a member is aware of an error in a previously filed return, the member should promptly inform the client. The member should advise the client of the potential consequences of the error and recommend the corrective measures to be taken. A member is not allowed to inform the taxing authority without the taxpayer's permission, except when required by law. If the client declines to take corrective measures recommended, the member should consider withdrawing from the engagement or continuing the client relationship.
This statement sets forth the applicable standards for members concerning certain aspects of providing advice to a taxpayer and considers the circumstances in which a member has a responsibility to communicate with a taxpayer when subsequent developments affect advice previously provided. The statement does not however, cover a member's responsibilities when the expectation is that the advice rendered is likely to be relied on by parties other than the taxpayer.
A member should ensure that tax advice provided to a taxpayer reflects competence and appropriately serves the taxpayer's needs. The member should use professional judgment about any need to document oral advice and should assume their advice will affect the manner in which the matters or transactions considered would be reported or disclosed. The member is under no obligation to communicate with the taxpayer when subsequent developments affect advice previously provided, unless by specific agreement.
This interpretation provides that a member should not recommend a tax return position or take a position on a tax return that the member prepares unless that position satisfies applicable reporting and disclosure standards. The tax laws of various taxing jurisdictions contain similar limitations on the ability to recommend or take certain tax return positions.

ANKENY — The Ottumwa boys tennis team got tripped up by doubles play in its 8-3 dual loss at Ankeny Tuesday.
The Bulldogs battled the Hawks to a 3-3 tie in singles play, but they were winless in doubles' action. Despite the goose egg in doubles' play, Bulldog coach Alan Paris said the matches were competitive.
"A lot of deuces went their way," he said. "Were close in most of the matches, we just couldn't get over the hump to pull any of the matches out."
The Ray brothers, Steve and Zack, along with Sam Kramer, who was playing in his first varsity singles match of the season in the No. 4 slot, provided the Bulldogs with their singles victories.
Steve Ray cruised to a 6-2, 6-2 win over Tabor Van De Poh 6-2, 6-2 in No. 1 singles action, and Zack Ray, a freshman with a boatload of promise, dominated Luke Benna 6-2, 6-0 in No. 2 singles.
"The brothers Steve and Zack Ray did a great job of controlling their opponents to win their singles matches," Paris said.
Meanwhile, Kramer scored a 6-3, 6-4 win over Grant Menadre.
"Sam Kramer did a nice job of playing under control and getting the big win for us," the coach said.

Tributes to policeman killed in motorbike crash
Last updated at 20:21, Thursday, 19 April 2012
A policeman from Seaton who died in a motorbike crash had qualified as a firearms officer just days earlier, it was revealed this week.
At his funeral at Distington Hall Crematorium on Monday, colleagues with whom PC Craig Postlethwaite had struck up a close friendship during the eight-week firearms training course formed a guard of honour with unloaded rifles.
After the service, Cumbria's Chief Constable Stuart Hyde said the 38-year-old had all the qualities you would want in a police officer.
Insp Mark Wear, a close family friend and colleague, described PC Postlethwaite after the ceremony as a natural born thief taker.
PC Postlethwaite died on April 4 when his motorcycle was in collision with a Volkswagen Tiguan on Lamplugh Road between Cockermouth and Eaglesfield.
Insp Wear told the 300-strong funeral congregation, including about 150 police officers, that it was hard to believe that he had only served in the police force since 2008.
He added: "He seems to have been one of those cops who has been about forever.
"After working with Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, Craig finally fulfilled his childhood dream when just over four years ago he joined the police.
"Throughout his career Craig has always looked to improve his skills and from the very beginning, within two weeks of joining, he was pestering to be put onto the public order training course."
That training paid off when PC Postlethwaite, along with Insp Wear, was among the Cumbrian officers deployed to support their counterparts in London during last year's riots.
Two months ago PC Postlethwaite left his patrol job in Whitehaven and moved to the roads policing unit, based in Workington, fulfilling another ambition.
Mr Hyde said: "I have been told by many of his colleagues that he was an exceptional and dedicated officer, who was a well respected friend and colleague to many.
"We have gathered today to pay our respects to an exemplary officer who will be missed by many and is a great loss to the policing family.
"My thoughts are with his family on this sad day."
He said that PC Postlethwaite was an officer who could be trusted with the highest level of risk and had shown great promise as a firearms officer.
He added: "He had a great sense of understanding how to communicate without shouting or arguing with people. He was always working to support his colleagues.
"I think the turnout at the crematorium demonstrates the high esteem in which he was held.
"It was absolutely packed and we had a huge number of people outside listening to it.
"He leaves behind a devastated family and a lot of very upset friends and colleagues."
Officers were drafted in from Penrith to allow as many of PC Postlethwaite's colleagues as possible to attend the service.
Insp Wear said: "He loved his job and loved to tell everybody the stories about it, whether they'd been with him or not.
"He was always dedicated to everything he did and took a massive amount of pride and satisfaction in it.
"It's a huge loss."

The Mahaska County Board of Supervisors approved having the county attorney review a draft 28E agreement to provide Haz Mat services in Mahaska County during its meeting Monday.
Mahaska County Emergency Management Coordinator Jamey Robinson told the supervisors that insurance representatives wanted to review a 28E agreement to determine if the county's liability would increase or decrease if Mahaska County left the Southeast Iowa Response Group to provide its own hazardous materials clean-up services.
Mahaska County currently pays the SIRG $18,000 per year for Haz Mat services.
Board Chairman Greg Gordy was concerned about the expense of leaving SIRG with its complement of equipment and its new facility to start over to buy equipment for Mahaska County.
Robinson said that the Ottumwa Fire Department has eight members to do Haz Mat coverage of a 14-county area and is considering expanding into Missouri. He said Mahaska County is paying SIRG for its coverage, not its equipment.
Robinson said the Oskaloosa Fire Department already has trained personnel and some of its own Haz Mat equipment.
"How much more money do we need to send down there?" Robinson asked.
Supervisor Mike Vander Molen said he has spoken to former supervisors Lawrence Rouw and Ken Rozenboom about the county providing its own Haz Mat services, and they both supported the idea as does the Oskaloosa and New Sharon fire chiefs.
"We're regionalizing within Mahaska County," Oskaloosa Fire Chief Mark Neff said.
The Oskaloosa Fire Department can pool its resources with the New Sharon and Fremont fire departments to cover Haz Mat incidents.
Neff pointed to a 2007 Haz Mat incident in Oskaloosa dealing with a leak from a rail car. He said it took from 10:30 a.m. to 1:52 p.m. For the SIRG to resolve the problem that really only took 28 minutes to fix.
"I know we can provide the citizens of Mahaska County with better service," Neff said.
Neff said there are three levels of Haz Mat clean-up and the Oskaloosa Fire Department is capable of handling all three levels.
"It's the right thing to do — move forward," Vander Molen said.
Gordy was still concerned about insurance issues with the proposed 28E agreement.
"Let's go ahead and develop it — get the wheels in motion," Vander Molen said.
In other action, the supervisors approved naming County Auditor Sue Brown as the person to take Open Records requests for the Board of Supervisors and the Secondary Roads Department. The supervisors also approved requiring a 50 percent deposit for Open Records request copying fees that are $100 or more. The balance would be paid by the person making the request when the records are delivered.

Quinoa (
-whah) is a grain-like, gluten-free, easily digestible, protein-rich Andean plant related to beets and spinach. It features a light, fluffy texture, with a mild, slightly nutty flavor.
Unlike wheat or rice, quinoa provides unusually "complete" plant protein in rare abundance (12 to 18 percent by weight). It's also a good source of fiber, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron.

This is my second blog posting on Patch.com so I am writing about what is on my mind right here and right now.
So, what am I thinking about you may ask? or not!
Well what is on my mind is what it means to shop local...in full disclosure I am a shop owner in downtown Silver Spring, so this post is a little self serving..anyway as you go around getting ready for the Holiday season I would just want to encourage you..where-ever you live, work or play, to shop local.
When you think about going to the mall, think about the small merchant in your neighborhood who does not have the big advertising budget like the big boys or the big strategist etc etc.but think about the mom and pop..or the mom or the pop...think of us who are the 'engine' of the US economy..that's what they said don't they.
I just know that since I've opened my store, On the Purple Couch, a consignment store, I think more and more about all the hard work I have put in and how much work is still to be done. I have never worked so hard in my life and have never learnt so much in such a short time. I am proud to have a business in Silver Spring. I am proud to have to make a payroll..ok maybe just pay the light bill and pay Matu my part-time associate to help me..I can not do it all...I am just damn proud to be out here and playing in the game and trying to achieve the American dream.
Anyway, shop local and come down on Bonifant St.
Stop by Kefa Cafe, stop by Danny's Hair shop stop by Pennyworth thrift store, check out the natural hair Diva's and Dude @Jah Hair studios and of course check me out On the Purple Couch at 955 Bonifant St. Silver Spring, MD for your holiday shopping needs~ home decor, chalk paint, designer wear, jewelry,gift certificates scarves etc etc...come Holla at me if nothing else.
Find us at www.onthepurplecouch.com or on facebook: www.facebook.com/onthepurplecouch .
Thanks for reading~ Bahia, Silver Spring Mom and shop owner

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina turned around its season only after it eliminated the kinds of mistakes that led to loss after loss in September and October. In some of the worst possible moments on Saturday, though, the Tar Heels reverted to their mistake-prone ways during their 27-25 loss to Duke.
At times at Kenan Stadium on Saturday, UNC appeared to be playing two games one against the Blue Devils, who overcame deficits early and late, and one against itself. The damage the Tar Heels inflicted on themselves would have been costly on any Saturday. It was especially so against Duke, which doesnt often make mistakes.
You know theyre going to be sound, Larry Fedora, UNCs second-year head coach, said afterward. And when you have nine penalties and you miss a field goal and you drop a touchdown pass and you drop two interceptions, theyre going to win a football game. Thats what happened today.
Fedora listed all of the mistakes that will likely play on a loop in his mind, over and over. One he didnt mention might have been the Tar Heels greatest gaffe.
The Tar Heels were in the midst of one of their most successful drives of the game midway through the fourth quarter, and Khris Francis 3-yard run would have given them a 3rd-and-2 from the Duke 9-yard line. At the end of Francis run, though, Russell Bodine, UNCs junior center, committed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
With the play over, Bodine shoved David Helton, a Duke linebacker, to the ground. Fedora said afterward that he didnt hear a whistle blow the play dead, and some of Bodines teammates said the same thing.
James Hurst, UNCs senior left tackle, was among those who said he didnt hear a whistle. Hurst said Bodine was just trying to finish the play, and trying to be physical and be nasty.
The play cost UNC 15 yards. Instead of a 3rd-and-2 from the 9, the Tar Heels next play was a 3rd-and-17 from the 24. Thomas Moore, the UNC kicker, made a 37-yard field goal moments later to give UNC a 25-24 lead.
That killed (the drive), man, Marquise Williams, the UNC quarterback, said of Bodines penalty. We were down there, we wanted to go in and score (a touchdown). I knew we were going to score. But that penalty killed us.
Bodines penalty was one of nine UNC committed, for 85 yards, and it was reminiscent of the kind of plays the Tar Heels often made during their 1-5 start. In recent weeks, during a five-game winning streak, UNC had been playing with more savvy.
Outside of a disastrous stretch early in the fourth quarter of a victory at Pitt, the Tar Heels had been playing like a more mature, smarter team during the past month. That changed on Saturday.
Its really frustrating, Hurst said. And we think we beat ourselves. They obviously played a great game, and did a lot of good stuff, but we had some really (untimely) penalties that really hurt us.
Bodines penalty was hardly the only lapse. UNC committed three penalties on kickoff returns, and those gave the Tar Heels poor field position. There were also the mistakes that didnt show up in the box score the dropped interceptions that Fedora referenced, and the dropped touchdown pass.
That the dropped touchdown came early in the third quarter, with the Tar Heels trailing 24-15. Williams, who labored through accuracy issues and at that point was in the midst of nine consecutive incomplete passes, threw one of his best passes of the day down the right sideline.
T.J. Logan, a freshman running back, was open. The pass bounced off Logans hands and fell harmlessly to the ground. Had he caught it, it would have resulted in a 37-yard touchdown. One play later, the Tar Heels failed to convert on fourth down.
I just didnt look it in, Logan said. Hit me right in the hands. Quise threw a great ball, so its my fault. Its definitely frustrating. Because you go over it in practice. We had the right read. So, just not finishing kind of upsets me.
It was that kind of afternoon, mostly, for the Tar Heels an afternoon of missed opportunities, what-ifs and doomed plays that are likely to haunt Fedora and his team for a while. Quarter after quarter, series after series, UNC outdid its previous mistakes with another one, and then another one.
Logans dropped touchdown pass. Bodines penalty. And, on Dukes winning drive, a dropped interception. On that play a 1st-and-10 from the Duke 38 Tre Boston, the senior safety, nearly intercepted an Anthony Boone pass. Instead it was merely a pass breakup, and the Blue Devils continued on.

Molly Cain, Contributor
I write about leadership, life and my experiences as an executive.
by Molly Cain
It's tough out there right now (surprise!). There are piles and piles of resumes waiting to be reviewed, hundreds of candidates to be seen and only a handful of dream jobs out there. Maybe you're bored out of your mind and think it's time to start looking, maybe you're searching and you haven't scored an interview yet, maybe you've heard "no" so many times you're starting to get discouraged. Whatever it is, you can improve a job search by knowing what not to do. Competition is at its highest right now, which means there are lots of reasons you won't get the job. Here are only six of them.
The resume. There are two million articles out there on resumes (this isn't really one of them). How to write them, read them, rework them, update them…and yet, there are so many people who remain totally clueless. If you didn't get the job, this is your starting point. Take a look at what you gave your prospective employer. If they've got any sort of head on their shoulders, they can typically read through lies, they can read through "elaboration" and they can read where you've panicked and tried to insert just about anything to lengthen the word count.
Ok, here are some examples. I'm not naming organization names, but if your resume includes an award or honor that we all know you can pay for (this is typically a high school thing), it's unfortunately not worth your printer ink. If it's got misspellings, you are totally screwed. If you've had a 10-year long career and you've stuck it all on one page, whoa. (Yes, I'm telling you to forget what your college career counselor told you – two pages is commonplace and expected now). If you have a huge break in your resume and it's noticeable you've just been sitting on your couch (i.e. not volunteering, not freelancing, not doing "stuff"), then that's a red flag. And here's a new one I'm starting to see more and more that makes my teeth hurt. You won't get the job if your resume is topped off with, email@example.com. I'm all for cute, but we're not hiring your spouse and don't want to send correspondence to them. So stop that right now.
The cover letter. Do you typo often? That's why you didn't get the job. Or it could be that your cover letter was addressed to "to whom it may concern" (that's another one your college counselor may have misled you on), or worse, you accidentally sent them a mass email that was addressed to a completely different company. Hey, I've done that one too (and guess what? I didn't get the job). The cover letter has a lot of potential to bite you, my friends. If it's not written specifically to that job, or well enough to get them to open the resume attachment, you will not get the job.
Have your friends, your mentor, anyone, read your cover letter before you send it out. And tailor it to each specific job opportunity. You want the company to notice you and to give you the one job they have available. So give them a cover letter that was made just for them. Here are some other great cover letter tips from ProfessionGal.
The submission. If you only submit your resumes into the big ol' blind HR online resume submission form, you probably won't get the job. It's a bit like putting a pair of socks in the dryer…they disappear. And be warned, the bigger the company, the more you're wasting your time. If you can get through that and land the job, you should buy a lottery ticket.
Now, I'm not going to dissuade you from doing this and then not provide you with a solution here, because you've got to it to them somehow. So here's what I do. I read the job description. I check out what person this position reports to and then I get to Googling. Find a name, find an email and be savvy about it. Don't be weird when you finally get a hold of them. Network and see what you can do to become more than just one more resume in that online sock-eater.
The phoner. You will not get the job if your eyeballs get bigger than your current paycheck. Or if you've applied for a job that completely doesn't apply to your experience and skill set. I know it's exciting to get that phone interview after you've sent out 200 resumes, trust me, I do. But if you get too gutsy and give them a ballpark salary that scares them, they will not ask you to move forward in the process. And you will not get the job. If you can wiggle around it, answer their "how much are you looking to make?" question as vaguely as possible. If you're too low, you will leave precious cash out on the table. And if you're too high…well, you'll never meet them in person.
You will also not get the job if you're blindly throwing out resumes into different industries or job roles without reason. Once they get you on the phone and you have to honestly tell them, "Well, I've never welded before, but it seems interesting," you're going to lose them. This goes back to the cover letter, because you want to have that conversation before you actually have that conversation. You have to explain to them why you want an industry change or a dramatic job level jump, and then you use the phoner to finish the sale. The phoner is to get you in the door, not to surprise attack them with someone who has no idea why they want the job.
The face-to-face interview. "So, prospective employee, what type of books do you like?" "Oh…I rarely read. And when I do, it's a cookbook." Umm, ok. Now, I'm not suggesting you lie here (seriously, never do that), but good grief, add some depth to yourself! Of course this varies by profession (so please don't send me hate mail telling me that your job requires you to be serious and boring), but generally, you will shoot yourself in the foot if you don't bring a little bit of personality to the table.
The worst interview I ever had was immediately after leaving a job that had me regularly working 12-hour days. The interview was for my dream job, to manage internal communications for a foundation started by someone you all know. I had aced the phone interview and I was ready, I knew my stuff. But right out of the gate, the hiring manager asked me what I liked to do for fun. I sat there. And sat there some more. And I had no answer. Now, if she had asked me if I would be committed to my job and would put in the hours when it really mattered (and sometimes even when it didn't), I would have owned that. But no! Managers (if they're good) want to know that their employees appreciate life and are willing to have a little fun. Make sure you have an answer lined up. I've spent the better part of five years making sure I'm ready for that question the next time I'm asked.
Very informative. I can't say much more than that. I mean you cover all topics. I think it's amazing how many people say "I've applied to 50 jobs in the past month – I didn't get one call back….damn economy!" I do think it's valuable to keep up to date on external things like the economy. But far more important to internalize. For there are many doors of opportunity out there. Each door needs a different key. So, you can't just apply and apply and then give up. You need to really try to surprise your self and the employer you are looking to work for. My personal rule of thumb is… "don't apply, unless you know their exact address and the color of there buildings doors." Knowing these types of things lets you know more about the company than you might expect. It helps narrow down what you might have to do to get it. You don't need to stalk them. Just google map (street view) them. They want someone that goes out of there way.
Great stuff packed in here. There are a lot of minor personal profile issues that we take for granted during interview. For professional related issues, i know we all understand our career field and it is easy to respond correctly to them. Thanks for this good job.
Great article! It might sound like common sense, but as I say at most of my presentations, "common sense is not all that common!" When in a situation as stressful as applying for a job, many people will choke and do almost everything wrong. Applying for a job is such a seriously huge life-changing event that it merits signifcant consideration and preparation.
Well done, Molly!
Regarding the "HR online resume submission form". It isn't a form. It is a horribly designed and often difficult to use web site (often a People Soft product) designed by bland idiots who seem to want to hire other bland idiots. (I am also a UX designer so I know what is good and bad.)
I recently completed one of these horrors for a "temporary" communications position at a zoo. Yep, a zoo. It took three hours to complete! It was like I was being interviewed for a job at the CIA or something. But 90% of the questions (including pages of bizarre personality questions) did not apply to what the job entailed.
Would I be willing to work weekends in the evening? Would I be OK working with animals? (Clearly, they made a one size fits all. I answered yes to them all even though, it was unlikely the job would have me in the elephant barn at night, although that would be very cool.)
After doing these web forms for some time now, that last one was the last. I am paper mailing my resume and cover letter like I used to do 20 years ago.
The downside to this scorge of web applications is that, some awful companies and organizations will *only* take applicants that way! The U.S. and state governments are the worst of all.
HR is broke and management and leadership do not seem to realize it at all.
Thank you so much for your comments. I am appalled at some of the questions employers ask. They are demeaning, pointless, and asinine – much like the interviewer themselves. I only hope that one day in the very near future they are subjected to what they are now demanding of applicants. Hours spent filling out ONE application, sending a cover letter, resume, and then not to even receive an acknowledgement, much less a job offer. It is uncouth.
The REAL reason people don't get hired is because hiring managers:
1. Have NO idea how to go about hiring the right people. (I've seen far too many news stories of employees ripping off not only the company, but its customers as well,
2. Hiring managers hire their friends,
3. Hiring managers hire their relatives.
If you have the credentials, experience, and present well, I am here to tell you that the reasons you are not getting hired are listed above.
Great points Molly and said with the perfect balance of humor and straight-talking realism. Many thanks!
The last one seems the most obvious yet I wonder how many really do it. I'm sure sitting on the other side of the table can get pretty insane. Thanks for the tips! :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by OectaTraveler Stay for business Even though my meetings are not usually at this property I always try and stay here for the great service and room quality. Staff is always friendly and respectful December 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dwat Customer Service Makes All The Difference I have stayed at this hotel for the past two months and it is the staff that makes all the difference. The hospitality I receive us second to none. I am greeted by name and made to feel like a valued customer each and every time. April 15, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaja2 The hotel is comfortable Great location, comfortable, great bed September 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AlainandKelly Great Hotel This was a great hotel. It was clean and quiet. Staff was nice and helpful. This hotel accepts dog to 80 lbs which is why we went there. The only thing that brought the rating down to 4 star was the Pet Welcome Package. This idea is GREAT and it is what sold us on the hotel. Only thing is that upon arrival, the package was nowhere to be found. We have to call down to request it. Once it go to the room, it was a small cushion and bowls that were way too small for an 80 lbs dog. Solution: get package in room in advance and maintain large dog beds. Worst that can happen is that the dog will have more space. Customers will be happy! December 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blackwood Nice facilities, outstanding service. I have had dozens of stays at this property ove the last year or so and I keep returning because of the excellent service, Plat recognition and value. Very nice indoor pool, with several eating options available nearby. The in-house Italian restaurant is quite good, with a buffet breakfast in the morning. Athough I generally use he lounge facilities morning and evening, where the spread is among the best in North America. Friendly staff, who remember their repeat customers - especially front desk and in the lounge. I even got a personally signed Christmas Card this year! All in all, my choice of properties near YYZ, and often my choice in all of Toronto! December 15, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by CT2013 Just good. I was in room 635. This was my second stay; the first at a club floor room which was nice. The good: - Staff very professional and courteous The bad: - Hallways on the 6th floor has a musty smell. - The bathroom is in definite need of renos. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this hotel or can't recommend it with the condition of this bathroom. I did mention to the front desk staff my concern for the bathroom and was told that they will start renos in the summer. That's a positive thing! April 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by symmetry Food Quality Varries Greatly I stayed at the Toronto Shearaton 801 Dixon on Dec 21 & on Dec 27th. I ate in the restaurant both times, ordering the same food. My first visit the seafood chowder was very good and I was happy with my 6oz filet of beef. On this visit the soup was served in an eight inch wide bowl. On my second visit, 6 days later the soup was very poor zerved in a 3 inch wide bowl, The mash potatoes and vegtables were cold. My wife had the same soup because of my earlier experience and the same meal - she did not like the soup and hers was also cold. This is a serious problem if you want repeat customers. PS I have reservations for two rooms Jan 27th 2013, at this same location. December 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ping49 convenient location Stay at this hotel each April for convention and it is very convenient and staff are great. - rooms are comfortable but average. - no refrigerator or micro-wave etc. - early to bed is difficult at this location due to close proximity of landing aircraft overhead for the Toronto airport. - rooms were very warm this stay, (April 2014) poor air circulation from fan plus was told that the A/C was not yet available for room use, and opening any windows simply let in additional aircraft noise. April 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wolfcat Yearly Visitor Every year I attend The Furnal Equixox convention and we cause the hotel a few problems like breaking the elevators and inflated toys in the pool. but they seem to cope very well for a growing convention like our. the front staff are friendly and help full and the Female bartender is awesome so be sure to tip all them well. the restaurant is nice place to sit back and enjoy a meal but i did find the kitchen staff and the female waitress more helpful then others. overall i give the entire visit a very good to excellent place to spend a weekend, March 26, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Boggled The front desk needs an attitude adjustment After having spent the night, my husband and I checked out and made them aware of a few "minor" problems with the room (without asking for anything in return...just making them aware). The beside lamp didn't work, the fan in the bathroom didn't work and the "complimentary" bottled water was half drank by the previous guest. The front desk response was to immediately be defensive and try to explain to me that I was mistaken in my experience. I should have called the night before to complain about the lamp, I shouldn't expect the fan to work. My response: I walked away. Not your best work Sheraton. April 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TLT1977 Parking Staff Lacking We returned from our trip to find our vehicle buried in snow. It took an hour for my husband and some others to dig and push out ours and the others vehicles. We understand that with all the snow that this was going to happen....we are Canadian!! We did not expect that the parking lot attendant would be so unhelpful and basically leave us to it with no offer to help or provide shovels. The parking lot was not fully plowed either. It was just a frustrating way to end a vacation. The goodwill of other travellers was greatly appreciated but a little help from staff would of been nice. February 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by midlandtourist Upgrading all the time. Great to see. We usually stay at this Sheraton whenever we are using the airport. Everytime we arrive a little more has been done to upgrade this hotel. It is obvious that this was another hotel brand before it became a Sheraton. So keeping this in mind we don't expect a glitzy hotel. What we get is great service starting with the front desk. The hotel is a little worn but is very clean, Little touches like iced lemon water in the lobby are appreciated. And the Club lounge has very fresh hot and cold canapes and often a salad which is just great after airplane food. Club Lounge breakfast is very good for this size Sheraton. Best asset to the lounge is the gentleman, Orlando who greets evryone with courtesy and a smile. July 13, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by nando1 One night experience It was quite dissapointing. The restaurant was the worst thing ever. Our food was bad to the point that we had to return it. The chicken breast that they grilled for my 4 years old daughter had the consistency of a tire. This is a quite simple dish. Rooms were noisy. We usually stay at the one in the terminal 3 and never had experienced that terrible experience like the one that we just had. I would not stay at this Hotel. April 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TT3003 Sleep Only reason sleep wasn't perfect,was because heating system was still on,so even though we opened windows,it was still uncomfortable. Just unfortunate timing between seasons. Staff was extremely friendly,and accommodating. April 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blackwood Still very, very nice Back again for several more stays in the New Year. Staff and service continue to be outstanding. Great SPG recognition, except I notice the club lounge continues to be closed on weekends. Not very happy about this, as the lounge is one of the reasons I really like this property. Closing on weekends is also contrary to the new Sheraton Brand standard on lounges. I am hoping I can draw attention to this by complaining, as I have also done in person. Otherwise, this remains my property of choice. Fix the lounge issue and I've give you all '5s'! February 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by DonaldG Great service Staff were prompt and attentive. April 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ady21 Great accomodations, confused staff My stay was excellent, however, the hotel staff upon checkout charged/held funds on my credit card without my permission. Even after the room was fully paid for in advance by my roomate, my card was still charged a total of over $300. I called for an explanation and still have not received an accurate account of how this happened. March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Agritravler Great Location The Toronto Sheraton Airport Hotel and Conference Centre is in the right location at the airport for connecting with both the airlines as well as major highways. There are plenty of great restaurants very close in addition to the wonderful restaurant on site at the hotel. Always enjoy my stay there. Usually parking is my only difficulty as many people park there for long-term trips. One recommendation I might have is to have the long-stay parking area separated from the overnight or short-term stay guests who do NOT need to park their car when they are going south for a holiday or other places longer term. It means those of us staying short-term often have to park a long way from the hotel, which in my opinion is not fair since so many cars sit there close to entrances, gathering snow covers, who are obviously owned by those not staying at the hotel at that particular moment in time. March 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tiffgoer This hotel is located at the airport but very quiet The hotel is located near the Toronto airport on the direct flight path but even though we were located on the top floor (8), we did not hear one plane during our stay in the hotel. The continental breakfast on the Club Floor had adequate variety as did the appetizer hour. The staff was great, very friendly and professional. The only negative is that parking was not free and this was not clear from the website description (or we missed it). Great stay on points or for a quick in and out visit to Toronto. September 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by charliet Management "management" Nov 26, 2011 charliet537 My stay at this property is always above and beyond pleasurable. It is refreshing to know that every time I stay at this hotel for business or liesure, I know that the Manager, Shaileen is ready to accommodate my family and I. There is no request too large to be addressed by her team. As an Executive member of a very large union, I travel extensively and I can say with certainty that I highly recommend this hotel when you are in the Toronto Airport area. Charlie T. December 2, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by asujanto Comfortable beds Most definately the best part about the room was the amazingly comfortable beds. Though, they are a little softer than the usual hotel bed, the rest of the room was nothing too spectacular but was modern. The bathroom was a little tight, with a shallow tub, but overall fairly decent with some nice toiletry items. I didn't really like the charge for the wifi in the guest room and also the parking fee ($15) for an unsecured parking lot but they provided the wifi in lobby, lounge and business center area. Overall this was a pretty nice hotel but you will need to factor in the extra charges and decide if it is worth it to you to stay here over other hotels. we'd probably stay here again if after considering the wireless fees and parking fees, the rates were comparable to other similar properties. September 9, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by SarahE47 Needs Improvement I was a bit disgusted with the restaurant which had a small crawling bug beside my seat. The holiday appointed bartender had me go up to him 3 times to ask him to take my order, accept payment for my order & to take my co-workers order. The rooms don't have a fridge which I think is a MUST for every hotel. The windows in the hallway have dead bugs around them. Gross! This hotel needs a serious deep deep clean especially when it has such a large conference space & business people visiting. October 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ejaz12 The front desk and club personnel were friendly and professional I received an exceptional service at front desk. Further, the lady working at the Sheraton Club was great, very kind and helpful, please convey my thanks to her. March 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ASalk Great night's stay, great staff It was my first time at this property, and I would recommend it to anyone. Depending on your room, you will hear the occasional plane. Aside from that, no complaints. All staff were friendly and helpful, SPG status was recognized, room service dinner was tasty and prompt, my sleep was restful, and shuttle service as promised was on schedule. There were some minor repairs needed in the washroom, and after informing the front desk the next morning, the manager comped part of my in-room bill! I'm not sure if it was a thank you for bringing the repairs to her attention, to apologize for the inconvenience (neither of which were needed), or simply because she was having a great day. Regardless, it was a lovely surprise, and I am sorry I did not catch her name, as I was told what she had done as I was exiting the property. Great stay overall, will be happy to stay again. January 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Transat lack of professionalism I chose this hotel because my company had a conference and it was convenient. I had a room infront of the elevator and early morning the maids were fighting and using a lot of language that upset me and few other guests. Then I went to check out and the lady at the front desk told me that I had to pay for 2 bottles of water, I said you did not even asked me whether I used them or not and you are charging me? with an unfriendly attitude she said no you pay for 2 bottles whic I never used. Finally I said call up and asked them to chack ,then another guy came and had it removed. Very unprofessional manner and she through the refund reciept on the counter and said aahaa. Noreen was her name if I recall. I am a travel agent and very disappointed and worried that if I book this hotel for my clients it might turn in to another disappoinment September 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Judy70 Could be cleaner I couldn't go higher than Average due to the cleanliness of the room. There was gum stuck alongside the headboard, and a few coins under the bed, but visible so as if to indicate that a vacuum hadn't been used around the bed in some time. The tray and toiletries in the bathroom were dusty and the drain didn't actually drain, despite being left open, in the tub. Plus, I was charged for the fax/copy center when I never entered it during my stay. August 17, 2013

But those top 4 fighters that had always been on Team Couture:
Mike "Quick" Swick
Nate Quarry
Chris Leben
Stephan Bonnar
Those are my favorite fighters after Coleman and Randleman
Yeah pride has some great fighters but they also have some has beens, but i think vitor could still be good if he got his head on straight.

I feel confident that Coleman or Randleman will win their fight that night
I got the impression that they offered the fight to about 3 or 4 other American fighters and could not get anyone, and Coleman was like their 5th pick. That was from the press conference.

hey, I'm more into GInger Spice now. Well, at least from the looks of that "Spice Up Your Life" video with the other Spice Girls. Ginger is the one with the red hair and dark makeup around her eyes. If she normally had that look, i'd really want to marry her. She is so cute. But I really don't like her looks from other images.

i think those guys being there is the prime difference between pride and ufc. in ufc, you lose a fight or two in the big time and you're gone, no matter how talented you are(with a few poster boy exceptions). in pride they keep you around if you're an entertaining fighter.
the hole poin of this is to see a tko so i think it a good idia i want to see a good fight to but alot of peopl out here just want to see some one get knocked out

A week after Super Storm Sandy slammed into the northeast and left thousands of Yorktown residents in the dark days, the majority of residents (ConEd and NYSEG customers) have had their power restored.
Yorktown Supervisor Michael Grace, along with town and police officials as well as representatives from the two companies – ConEd and NYSEG – held a press conference on Monday to update residents on the progress made after the storm.
"I know a lot of criticism is coming their way or has come their way already, but as far as the town of Yorktown is concerned, I want to state unequivocally that both utilities, as far as I'm concerned, have been acting very diligently," Grace said. "Their crews are working overtime and they have worked in cooperation with the the town personnel to get things done in what I think has been an expeditious manner."
Grace said close to 90 percent of the town has had its power restored and crews have been working overtime to untangle debris from wires, make sure those wires are not live and restore power.
He said he wanted to thank both utility companies for working "diligently" following what officials are calling an "unprecedented storm" because of the type of damages it left. The damages to that critical infrastructure, such as poles and transformers, is what has made the power restoration prolonged, Grace said.
NYSEG expects that "virtually all customers" will have power restored by midnight Wednesday, Nov. 7. Bob Pass, a representative for NYSEG, said the company remained focused on restoring power to critical customers first and ensuring the safety of employees and residents.
Con Edison had also been prioritizing areas where large numbers of customers could be restored at once. Mark Drexel, a Yorktown resident and ConEd representative, said on Monday that there are currently 15 crews (or 40 people) working in Yorktown.
"This was definitely an unprecedented storm," Yorktown Councilman Terrence Murphy said. "I've never seen so many downed wires and snapped poles. I can't believe how many transformers are laying on people's yards."
Yorktown's public safety officer Larry Eidelman said the town of Yorktown is "far better off" than other neighboring communities in the aftermath because of the town's emergency operation center and the coordination of efforts among utility companies, police and town officials.
The Yorktown Community and Cultural Center has been operating as an emergency shelter since last Tuesday where residents have gotten a chance to warm up, charge their electronic devices, get a hot meal or hot cup of coffee. Since last week, more than 1,000 people had visited and more than 100 people have slept over.
Eidelman warned residents of the upcoming Nor'easter, which will likely bring high winds, rain and possibly snow to the region beginning Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday, and asked them to restock whatever supplies they might may have used over the last week.
The town of Yorktown lifted the declared State of Emergency on Sunday, but residents are still requested to limit their travel so emergency workers can continue to clear fallen trees and wires to restore electrical power.
"Please try to combine your vehicle trips," Grace said. "Do everything you can."
Price gouging in the area has been one of the problems post-Hurricane Sandy. The Attorney General's Office has received hundreds of complaints from consumers across the state. To file a complaint call 800-771-7755 or log on to Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman's website to make a complaint.
FEMA has issued a major disaster declaration (MDD) for Westchester County – making the county eligible for both public and individual assistance. To find out how you can apply for assistance call 1-800-621-FEMA or www.disasterassistance.gov.
Meanwhile, Tuesday, Nov. 6 is the general election and all voting locations in Yorktown are open.
