What do recent college graduates expect from employers?
On the subject of the job marketplace, the focus is often on what recent college graduates can do to make themselves more appealing to employers during the hunt for premium entry level jobs and paid internships. However, hiring managers should also be asking themselves how they should improve their recruiting strategies to appeal to the most recent wave of young job seekers.
With the rise of the internet, mobile devices and social media, the marketplace looks far different than it did even five years ago, and companies that don't keep up with the changing trends are at risk of getting left behind by the best and brightest applicants. Here are three things to keep in mind about what recent college graduates expect from employers.
Social media policy
Let's face it, organizations who haven't already developed some sort of a social media strategy are way behind the curve. Between sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn, an increasing number of job applicants – young and old – are turning to social networking tools to drive their career search. Not only are these websites great resources for posting and sharing available positions, but they also allow candidates to network with industry professionals quickly and easily. A strong online presence demonstrates that a company is on top of the latest wave of technological innovations – an important distinction for a competitive organization.
Small companies
In the past, working for a large organization meant greater opportunities for professional growth, but today many young people are getting their start in smaller companies. Offices with only a handful of employees provide a chance for recent grads to distinguish themselves and take on more responsibility, instead of struggling to stand out among hundreds of coworkers.
Career advancement
While salary and benefits are ever-important factors for job seekers, many young people don't mind working for reduced compensation so long as they know there are opportunities to advance at the company. Unless businesses know how to groom recent hires for higher positions within a year or two of starting, they can expect those employees to begin looking for another job before too long.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello, my name isXXXXX & I'll be helping you today. My goal is to give you a complete & accurate answer that you can understand.
Presumably, your brother is also on the deed & the mortgage also. As such he is fully liable for the mortgage as is his partner. (As an aside, if this is going to be the same situation in the future your brother should have his social security number listed on the mortgage).
You can try to do what you suggest but the IRS may ask for further evidence such as copies of the checks with your brother's signature on them, if he pays by check, although that shouldn't be necessary; you might consider sending a copy of one cancelled check (copy both sides) & state that the remainder are available upon request.
In any event, it should eventually be straightened out; it just takes time. By the way, did the IRS ask for anything else specifically? If they did, you'll want to comply with the request in order to avoid additional correspondence.
Did you prepare their return, or what role are you playing in this process? The reason that I ask is that you'll want to make sure your brother signs any correspondence with the IRS.
If you want to contact me again with any tax or financial questions, you can just ask for "Steve G" at the beginning of your question. Thanks again for using us for your tax and financial questions. You may get a short survey from the site; if it isn't too much trouble I would appreciate it if you would answer it; the survey results are used to rate our performance;
Please remember to rate my response; it is the only way that we get credit for our work.

Volker Bertelmann (born 1966) is a German pianist and composer who mainly performs and records under the name Hauschka. He is best known for his compositions for prepared piano.
Volker Bertelmann was born in Kreuztal. He grew up in the village of Ferndorf in the district of Siegen-Wittgenstein, North Rhine-Westphalia. The fifth of six children, he discovered piano playing at the age of eight at a Christmas church service. He began studying classical piano and continued taking lessons for the next ten years.
Bertelmann formed his first rock band when he was fourteen. During the following years he was commissioned to compose music for television and sang in a number of other bands. After leaving school he moved to Cologne, where he began studying medicine and then switched to a course in business economics, but gave up both in order to concentrate on music. In 1992, he and his cousin formed the hip-hop duo God's Favorite Dog, who became known above all for their tracks Love and Pain and Sway. They released an album on Sony Music's Epic label and went on to perform nationally and internationally, among others as a support act for Die Fantastischen Vier. The duo split in 1995 to pursue other directions.
After a period of drifting, Bertelmann moved to Düsseldorf and started making music again, drawing on his years of classical piano training. He composed pieces for piano and released them under the alias Hauschka – a reference to the Bohemian composer Vincenz Hauschka as well as to Dr. Hauschka skin care products.
The first Hauschka album Substantial was released in 2004 on the Cologne label Karaoke Kalk, followed in 2005 by The Prepared Piano on the same label. On this second album Bertelmann explored the possibilities of the prepared piano by wedging pieces of leather, felt or rubber between the piano strings, wrapping aluminium foil around the hammers, placing small objects on the strings or joining them together with guitar strings or adhesive tape. In 2007 the remix album Versions Of The Prepared Piano was released, featuring new interpretations of the original tracks by the likes of Eglantine Gouzy, Barbara Morgenstern, Nobukazu Takemura, Wechsel Garland, Frank Bretschneider, Mira Calix and Tarwater.
In 2007 Bertelmann signed a recording contract with 130701, an imprint of FatCat Records. On the 2008 album Ferndorf he collaborated with cellists, trombonists and violinists. Following a concert performance with the Magik*Magik Orchestra, Bertelmann decided to integrate other musical instruments into his compositions, and in January 2010 the resulting works were performed in San Francisco by an orchestra led by Minna Choi. With Ian Pellicci as the sound engineer, they were recorded in John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone studio. Volker Bertelmann then recorded the piano tracks at Studio Zwei in Düsseldorf, and the album Foreign Landscapes was released on the 130701 label later that year.
On his 2011 album Salon des Amateurs Bertelmann collaborated with notable musicians such as Samuli Kosminen (Múm, Edea) and Hilary Hahn, as well as Calexico's Joey Burns and John Convertino. These recordings were originally intended as a joint release with Foreign Landscapes, whereby on the one hand the piano was going to be just one instrument among many, and on the other it was to be used primarily as a rhythm instrument. The recorded pieces did not fit together in the way Bertelmann had envisaged, however, so he decided to release the two albums separately. Foreign Landscapes represents a shift of focus away from the prepared piano as a solo instrument, while Salon des Amateurs signals a move towards a more strongly rhythmic approach.
In 2012 Bertelmann wrote the score for the film Glück, directed by Doris Dörrie. In May 2012 Silfra, a collaborative album with the American violinist Hilary Hahn, was released on Deutsche Grammophon. Named after the Silfra rift in Iceland, it consists of twelve improvisations by Bertelmann and Hahn that were recorded by Valgeir Sigurdsson at Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavík.
Bertelmann is a member of Music A.M., a side project involving Stefan Schneider of To Rococo Rot and Luke Sutherland of Long Fin Killie. In collaboration with Torsten Mauss he also releases electronic music under the alias Tonetraeger.
Volker Bertelmann lives with his wife and three kids in Düsseldorf.

At this point after five days of hearing what the keys to the Akron Zips-VCU Rams game are, they've become cliché.
Coach Keith Dambrot laid them out the other day when he said that his team has to take care of the ball and rebound.
Here are three observations regarding the 9:45 tipoff between the Zips and the Rams.
We're kind of a small team compared to others. We really practice a lot on rebounding there's a real emphasis on that. With their size advantage, we still have other ways to take it away from them. With our speed, we can use our speed, against their size and I think that will be enough to get it done, said forward Treveon Graham.
We have to go inside. That's our game. It's simplified now with Alex gone. That's our game. Pound it. Pound it. Pound it. - UA Coach Keith Dambrot
Wildcard: The Zips outside shooting which has been up and down all season. With all the talk of size and pressure, they could prove to be the big determinant here.
Key players: Marshall and Treadwell
Notes: UA's No. 12 seed is the highest by a MAC team since Kent State's No. 9 seed in the 2008 NCAA Tournament…The 12-5 matchup has seen its fair share of upsets. The No. 12 seed has won 38 of 112 matchups, roughly one out of every three times the two seeds have played… Should Akron win, it would be their first against VCU…A win would be Akron's first in the NCAA Tournament in four tries as a Division I team.

Justin Dedich has been trending upward for quite some time, as evidenced by his nearly two dozen scholarship offers, and the interest doesn't appear to be slowing down.
The four-star center out of Temecula (Calif.) Chaparral recently landed an offer from USC and told Scout.com that the Trojans are a major contender now as he weighs his options. Dedich visited UCLA on Saturday and the 6-foot-2, 285-pound prospect has established a connection with new offensive line coach Hank Fraley, a former center himself.
Dedich also plans to visit Utah soon, as well as Arizona, Oregon, Oregon State, and possibly Louisville and Mississippi, in the coming months.
Hear what Dedich had to say about his recruitment and timeframe for a decision in the video above.

Current Research
Statements on My Current Research
Damian C. Koshnick, Ph.D.
Northern Arizona University
In the short paragraphs that follow, I describe my current work to publish research across four distinct areas.
I. Research on Writing Transfer
I work on issues related to writing transfer, particularly through "threshold concepts" (Meyer and Land, 2006). This includes recently co-authored research published in the Composition Forum, see: http://compositionforum.com/issue/26/. It also includes a presentation at the St. Louis (March, 2012) College Composition and Communication Conference.
Although we use many sources of information to study what literacy practices transfer across contexts, I believe that one of the most significant challenges in this line of research involves getting at students' tacit, or practical knowledge in our interviews with them. At present, I am revising an article for submission that introduces a recursive set of "experience modeling" (Gordon and Dawes, 2005) interview methods that, if employed in writing transfer interviews, has real potential to help us get at more of the typically tacit knowledge that informs students' literacy practices.
In the longer term, I will also publish research that extends the existing literature on writing transfer by focusing on issues related to graduate students that are earning degrees in professional and technical writing while simultaneously employed as professionals in related fields.
II. Edited Collection: The Selected Essays of James P. Moffett
Over the last decade or so, I have been deeply connected to many in the field who knew and worked with James Moffett. In recent years, I have formalized a degree of expertise on Moffett which has involved investigating (and securing more material for) the "James Moffett Papers" archive during my doctoral studies at the University of California Santa Barbara. As part of that ongoing work, I founded the James Moffett Consortium (http://jamesmoffettstudies.ning.com) which, with 100 members, includes NCTE clearance for an online library of Moffett's essays. In 2012, I co-authored James Moffett's legacy in The English Journal which was published in the centennial edition of the The English Journal (https://secure.ncte.org/store/2012-january-english-journal-v101-3).
At present, I am taking the lead on producing and publishing The Selected Essays of James P. Moffett with Tom Gage (professor emeritus, Humboldt State University) and James Davis (professor, Northern Iowa University). Using Ede and Lunsfords' recent collection on Robert Connors' as a model for this collection, we are currently drafting and securing a publisher in an effort to re-introduce Moffett as an important historical figure for composition-rhetoric, English Education, the language arts, and on school reform initiatives.
III. On the Sociology of Knowledge Production Through Citations
This summer, I was asked to be a journal peer reviewer for the Social Studies of Science. My dissertation research addressed citations as the, "sites" at which collective memory and knowledge is, "sorted out and reproduced" (Bazerman, 1993). More specifically, I argued that the role of citations in academic discourse should be taught more directly to students and I defined a mixed methodological approach for studying what happens to highly cited authors and books in our field when they are cited, repeatedly, over decades. In the past, I have presented my research at (February, 2011) Writing Research Across Borders II Conference and the (March, 2010) College, Composition and Communication Conference. At present, I am adapting two chapters from my dissertation research for near-term submission to two journals: the Scientometrics and Research in the Teaching of English.
IV. Publishing about a Grant-Funded Writing Curriculum for Engineering Students
I recently submitted a chapter proposal for publication in an edited collection titled Producing public memory: Museums, memorials, and archives as sites for teaching writing edited by Jane Greer and Laurie Grobman. If accepted, this chapter will be about my grant-funded experience developing and revising a writing-in-the-disciplines curriculum for Engineering students. In three "scaffolded" stages, they were prompted to visit, study, and write about how campus' memorials and monuments expressed meaning(s), "made present by matter" (Jackson and Fannin, 2010). This chapter will document how my curriculum used writing to enhance these young engineers' sense of investment in the prominent material and cultural structures that populated their daily campus routines. The results of this course, taught over two years, were PDF publications written, produced, and edited by these students with chapters that captured their own preliminary building proposals to address and meet some civic need.

Bond, C. S., Fevyer, D. and Pitt, C., 2004. Student reactions to online tools for learning to use the Internet as a study tool: outside the comfort zone? In: Beyond the Comfort Zone: the 21st ASCILITE Conference, 5-8 December 2004, Perth, Western Australia, pp. 134-140.

The Internet is a valuable source of health related information, however students are not maximising their use of this resource. A study was undertaken to see what resources were already available to help them develop the necessary skills, and to identify the elements of an Internet study guide that were of importance to the students. An extensive search of the Internet, using a variety of search terms in Google and Yahoo located numerous study support sites. Ten focus groups were held with a total of 60 students on a variety of health and social care related courses at an English university. Rather than finding what the students were looking for in an online study guide the research found that using an online support system took the majority of students outside of their comfort zone, resulting in them rejecting online support and expressing a preference for personal or hard copy support and materials. The way online materials are structured into courses is explored as a possible reason for these difficulties and a flow chart to help students identify resources is presented.

Put a used snow plow on the truck. Initial trial showed both truck and plow lights all worked, hi and low, but unfortunatly, the truck lights didn't go off when the plow lights were plugged in. After 5 minutes, I lost the hi beams only on both the plow and the truck. Low beams work on both. I disconnected the plow lights to isolate that aspect with no change, (no high beams on truck, but low beams ok). There is no headlight fuse on the main fuse board by my left knee. Can't find one anywhere. Anyone know where it might be hiding? Maybe this circuit is on a fusible link, but this seems odd for something like the headlights?

A festive Fourth with Google Maps
July 2nd, 2009 | Published in Google Earth
I'll be heading to the nation's capital to celebrate Independence Day this weekend, so I've been browsing the many maps that the Washington Post has put together to help people take in the festivities. If you'll be in DC too, you can find a map of the various events going on throughout the holiday weekend and a map of fireworks shows throughout the entire region. My friends and I plan to take in the fireworks over the National Mall, so we're consulting this map to determine the very best viewing location.
Of course, DC isn't the only place to celebrate the Fourth. Here's a list of maps of parades, fireworks shows, and events from other places around the country (thanks to the Google Maps Mania blog for finding some of these!):
If your town has a map that you want to share, let us know by sending it to @googlemaps on Twitter. If you're planning your own Fourth of July celebration, you can make your own My Map to show friends how to get to your BBQ or where exactly in the park you plan to meet to catch the fireworks.

Mentioned in another thread...the smilies appear in the edit, but not the final post.

Mentioned in another thread...the smilies appear in the edit, but not the final post.
Smilies are for poor writers, the illiterate, and people with zero taste. They are the province of the classless, cheap-jack yahoos, cramp-wit rubes, and toothless red-neck nitnoids. I see you use a stupid smilie dealie doodle, I write you off.
Next time you find yourself searching for some animated Wal-Mart happy face bouncing and jiggling about like a figment of some epileptic's gran mal delusion, remember that you are tattooing on your forehead, "I am a dadblamed idiot."
Just sayin'.
Wow! Shockwave went deep. Here I thought it was just a statement by the admins. No more happiness until Nobama is booted out in 2012. ;-)
For such a well spoken and literate individual you did not comprehend forum rule #4 too very well. See Bold/Italic below. I replaced your rule violation with dadblamed.
4. As a family-friendly forum, we ask that you keep your language clean, exactly as we hope you would when addressing respected elders. Creative workarounds (the use of special characters to replace some letters) on language are not allowed. Violators of this rule will be warned once; those repeatedly breaking this rule will have their accounts permanently revoked.
NOTE: Links to off site material will be held to our family-friendly standard, as well.
Dear OKShooter:
Understood. All boards have their own distinct normative cultural practices. Here, I violated one of them with a sneak attempt to circumvent the auto-censor and you are blameless in having Bowdlerized my text. No foul.Quote:
I replaced your rule violation with dadblamed.
Yet, I would invite you to explore your rationale of emending text you deem to be un-"family-friendly" on a board that allows expression of such sentiments as "kill 'em all." I see no intervention, mod-wise, in comments that exhort the execution of bad guys, and per George Carlin and Frank Zappa's oft-observed remarks, there's something quite disturbing in the practice of sanctioning the concept of killing people, but prohibiting language that refers to the all-too-human act of making love.
Something to ponder, no?
I must say that I am sadly disappointed. There are many things in addition to smilies that can lower ones opinion of others.
Yes, but NOW your most recent post is Off Topic to this thread which is titled "Where Did The Smilies Go?"
Let's keep the discussion on the malfunctioning gifs and how tasteless, illiterate, classless, and idiotic all of us "tattooed on the forehead" rube-like members are (myself included) for using those horrifically debasing low-life Smilies.
And right now...you can't be absolutely certain as if I'm serious or just "pulling your leg" because the Smilies are not working.
You'll just have to assume that I'm "joshing you" since I've not given you a PM warning or any infraction points for thread hi-jacking.
" Yet, I would invite you to explore your rationale of emending text you deem to be un-"family-friendly" on a board that allows expression of such sentiments as "kill 'em all. blah blah blah"
I don't recall having recently tightened the chains that are holding you here/keeping you held captive on DC should you have personal "issues" with the way things are run here.
I'm certain that we all sincerely apologize for occasionally "flying in the face" of your impeccable logic.
Logically speaking though...It would be wise to remember that nothing much in the way of anything positive is ever gained by insulting and denigrating multitudes of people that you have chosen to associate with.
Often it's just better to lighten up.
If there are things here that you just can't seem to tolerate...please be reminded that our open door always swings in two directions and you're free to leave at any time. Just try not to make a big show of it.
It never impresses the forum moderators & it just makes extra work for us that we need to delete.
I find the smiles to be amusing.
Smilies are silly, at worst. But an idiot reveals himself with slang and profanity. :rolleyes:
Sent from my phone
Lets see if they are working now. :wave::image035:
Thank you, Bman. It's good to smile again. :smile:
Thanks Bman. Ah cain't wate too use them smillies agin. :rolleyes:
Now, back to the original subject--I'm glad to learn that it wasn't something wrong with my computer, and also glad that the smilies are back.:yup: And while I have numerous tats, none are on my forehead:image035:, my thesis advisor and degree review committee many years ago did not consider me a poor writer nor illiterate:rolleyes:, and while I have many friends who are "rednecks" and proud of it, I have no idea what a "cheap jack yahoo" or "cramp wit rube" is. Ya, dangling participle or whatever, but so what--this is a fun forum, not a dissertation contest.:rolleyes::duh::yup::wave:
I'm only getting about half of the smiles on my phone, using tapatalk.

: Aunt Jackie Shampoo
Aunt Jackie Curls and Coils Oh So Clean Moisturizing and Softening Shampoo.
I bought this at a bss for $7. The color and consistency reminds me of SM Coconut Hibiscus Shampoo. I didn't buy it for myself. I'm happy with my shampoo and not too sure about salt in my hair. I bought it for my 3 year old god-niece because her mother has straight hair and it's been a struggle to get her to stop using a sulfate shampoo on the kid every day. Anyway, I gave her a bath and I used this. It lathered well and didn't tangle her hair. I massaged her scalp. I worried awhile it was in it would make her hair too oily but when I rinsed it out no problem.. I followed with TN conditioner. afterwards her hair looked very moisturized. Didn't dry it out at all.

Finally, something to write about… not that I don't have much to say but at least it's something to write down …
1. Work – I have fallen in love with retail work and seem to "fit in" to a job for the first time in my life. I've always been the "odd one out" in everything I've ever done, but for once, I seem to be liked and accepted by the people I work with. This is a huge deal to me. I got the promotion to Merchandising Brand Assistant on February 9, 2014 and have been spending a lot of time adjusting to my new role while I learn new things. This has been a challenge since softlines is a LOT slower paced than hardlines (clothing sections as opposed to everything else in a big store like Target)
2. Home: My family is well. The son continues to work full-time and is adjusting well to his adult-like life while learning to work with his disability and working towards an independent future. The daughter has finally graduated university with a degree in English and a minor in Spanish. She will be doing TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) at college in the spring for a year before she moves to Korea to teach English. In the meantime, she's working at a video game store and has been promoted to supervisor and seems to be settling into her new role just fine. The husband continues to work for Bell and the long hours that go with it. We see very little of each other these days but we're happy and content.
3. Health: My health is slowly improving. My back feels like it has finally healed and I'm no longer in constant pain with it. I've had the flu the past week or so and have been off work to get better. And while I've been sick, I've been on a mostly fluid diet which brings me to my next point….
4. Weightloss: Well this is and always has been a struggle for me. But I think I've finally discovered what works for me with Hashimoto's. The STARVATION Diet!!! Yes! I said it… the starvation diet. Literally meaning, TO EAT NOTHING substantial and the result is weightloss! I had a doctor tell me one time; when I continued to go to him for the same issue of gaining weight despite my best efforts to keep it off; (this included, lots of exercise and limiting calories etc) that no one ever starved to death! LOL Yes, he told me that basically telling me not to eat and I'll lose weight! But you know, 20 years later, I think he was right! It's kind of ironic but since I've had the flu, I've managed to finally lose 4 pounds by only taking in fluids…. yes, fluids consisting of soda, water and soup. Mind you, I've also actually eaten about 400 calories a day once or twice in the past week. But something I can't figure out is that when I weighed myself this morning and was 231.5 pounds, I weighed myself three hours later and weighed 235.8 pounds! Figure that one out if you can!?!?!?! And the ONLY thing I've had today was 2 cups of coffee and 3 cups of water with ice! I wonder if the ice has calories since it's a solid!?!?!? LOL
I've got lamb in the oven and will try my best not to touch it tonight! Food is the enemy right now. I MUST LOSE THIS WEIGHT!!!! I'm sick and tired of carrying around this weight!!! Drastic times calls for drastic measures… I MUST resist the evil that surrounds me every single day!
WoW is all I can Say

It's been a while since I journaled my thoughts and think it's high time I entered an update.
I ended up quitting the Holiday Inn because my boss "threw me under the bus" and did not help me in any way to regain the ability to do housekeeping after WSIB stopped being involved. So when they changed my schedule to only 4 hours a week, I quit.
Meanwhile, working at Target has turned out to be a good career move for me. At first, I absolutely HATED retail as I've never done it before but after a few weeks of working there I got moved around to different areas of the store while it was being set up before store opening, and I got a chance to see another side of the operations. Turns out, they love me, and moved me into a group called "instocks" to track store inventory. I enjoy it a lot and get decent hours too. Management recommended me to be promoted to yet another department. I've submitted interest in the softlines and pricing areas and have an internal interview on Wednesday next.
In other news, I've had some other health issues. Breast cancer has been a huge scare in my life but after mammograms and ultra sounds, they came back negative. I still have to go for the gene testing and some answers as to what the lumps are since they seem to think it's not cancer but otherwise, am somewhat relieved it's not as urgent as previously thought. I'm still worried it might be cancer since my mother already had a mastectomy because of cancer and it runs in our family. Making sure I am thoroughly tested will confirm or deny any suspicion of cancer. And thankfully, I've got my faith keeping me strong through this as well. I would have given up a long time ago if it wasn't for that!
Weightloss has been the least of my concerns since I hurt my back last year and once I get solid answers on my breast issue, I plan on starting another exercise and weightloss regime. I'm hoping for the spring once the nice weather comes so I can start by walking again.
I am currently weighing in at 235lbs…. That's all I have to say about that…..
From the Pot into the Fire
Posted by snuggles1968 on September 22nd, 2013 |Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
A lot has happened in the past month or so. I got hired for a part-time position at a huge retail store set to open in a couple of months and have found I am unable to do the walking and standing required to do my job there. I still have the housekeeping job but at this point I'm very confused on how to go about scheduling two part-time jobs and still get a day or two off to regain sanity.
In all of this, I'm in pain. Always in pain. I'm still going to physiotherapy twice a week but pain is a constant reminder of my limitations. It seems that since my injury at work, my fibromyalgia has flared up with a vengeance and there is no relief most days anymore. Before the accident, I had been relatively pain-free (minimal flare-ups) for more than three years. Now there isn't a day that goes by without being in pain.
My son suggested I apply for ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program) to help with finances so I don't have to work full-time and then I could find just one part time job that is not physically demanding. I am seriously starting to consider this alternative since the pain is unrelenting and having been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I automatically qualify for the help. I have not applied previously because I felt I could "deal" with the pain and work but now it appears the pain is worse than it was before. Much worse.
Today I weigh 231lbs which is good since I've managed to drop 5lbs since last week.
Trying Hard NOT to Give Up – But failing miserably…

Just need to get my feelings out right now.
The past few weeks have been very hard for me. Emotionally I'm distraught and physically, I'm really FAT once again. I've packed on over 20 pounds since I hurt my back and I'm so discouraged. Still unable to work out and now that I'm transitioning back into work and up to 4 hours a day for 5 days a week, I am in a lot of pain once again. Spending all my free time laying down and taking a LOT of advil to help ease the pain. And the real kicker in returning to work is that I know once I'm back up to 8 hours a day, my employer will abandon me and won't give me any shifts because they won't be forced to keep me working once WSIB feels I'm "healthy" once again. I see the writing on the wall and there's absolutely NOTHING I can do about it! This makes me so angry, frustrated and hurt. After all the hours spent working hard for my employer, the Holiday Inn and they will ultimately turn their backs on me in the end.
So at the end of all this, I'll have no job and no income. I'll still be recovering from my back injury that happened at work and I haven't been able to find another job at all. Not that I'd be able to work somewhere else anytime soon, I've still been looking for another job that's less physically demanding without any callbacks whatsoever. Feeling so hopeless right now.
And to make matters worse, I eat out of depression and then feel worse because I was too weak to resist eating. I'm eating all day right up until I go to bed at night and start all over when I wake up next morning. How depressing is that!?! I sure wish I had a friend. And this makes the depression worse… knowing I've got no one to talk to but this stupid journal that doesn't help me anymore.
What I really need is a nutritionist, dietitian, personal trainer, or a bullet… one of these would fix everything in a second.
Just A Thought
Posted by snuggles1968 on August 1st, 2013 |Filed Under Emotions | Leave a Comment
I've recently been watching a television show called, "I Used To Be Fat" which is about 18 year olds who are about to go to college and need to lose some serious poundage over the summer. During the course of the show, the trainers usually get into the "whys" of the eating and ultimate weight gain. A lot of the kids say they "don't know" but typically we find out the reason and then they get serious about dropping the pounds.
Well with this said, it's got me to thinking about the "whys" I have fallen back into my old habits since I've been off work with my back injury. When I ponder how I feel, I find I have to dig very deep just to touch the tip of the iceberg that is my buried emotions but one thing that continues to stand out is the very deep sadness I feel. And then when I think about the sadness and actually allow myself to ponder that emotion, I can feel myself burying it once again. Moments of clarity reveal a few of the reasons for the great sadness. My biological father (dad) died on January 4, 2001 and five months later, my step-father (pa) finally died from a long battle with non-Hodgkins lymphoma on May 18, 2001. I was very close to both of them. I have also realized I DO NOT talk about these people at all. I avoid any and all conversations involving my dad and my pa and while I sit here typing, I can feel my eyes want to cry but I am pushing those feelings back down again with a hard swallow in my throat.
A deep sadness for the loss of a long-time "friend" who I had trusted with my life and had even left her everything in my will who ultimately betrayed me when I allowed her to live with me and my husband and kids after she was released from hospital a few years ago. She had almost died from flesh eating disease and spent 2 months in ICU then another 2 months in hospital undergoing several surgeries to remove more rotting flesh on several parts of her body. She had been living in squalor with her adult daughter in a small town and had not told me how bad her situation really was but once I found out what happened, I stepped in to help because her daughter did not want to deal with her mother any longer. There's a lot more going on here but feel I need to stick to the point. 🙂 So I arranged everything for my friend. Got her on social assistance, put her on a government housing list and brought her to my house after she was discharged from hospital so she could continue to recover and gain strength enough to live on her own again. In the three months she stayed with us, she lied to me and my family, her friends and physicians. She tried to turn my kids against me by poisoning their minds with lies. It was so bad she had my son almost hating me and his sister at one point and it got so bad that he finally confronted me about it and that's when everything came out. I found out what she had been doing behind my back and I kicked her out of my house. At this point she had recovered sufficiently enough that she was able to live on her own but had been avoiding any progress that involved her actually taking the necessary steps to be independent. She left the very next morning with nothing more than a trash bag of her belongings and no apology whatsoever. I've not seen or heard from her since. I was heartbroken when she did this to me and I don't think I've ever recovered. She was the ONLY friend I've had in 20+ years and now that she's gone, I've got no one to talk to at all. This bit is really hard to face. Sure lots of people have come into my life but none have become a true friend. I know a LOT of people, but none of them are friends at all. They never call, we never hang out… nothing…. I would try to extend a hand of friendship only to have it cut off when they say they don't have time or lie to me by saying, "we'll have to get together another time" then that never happens either.
I think another reason for my eating habits is a very deep depression I'm struggling with in how much of a failure I feel I am. I had so many aspirations when I was younger and never achieved any of them. I wanted to be a nurse and gave that career up in the first month of work to raise my children all because of a man who came into my life and he wanted me to stay home with the children. Who would have known this man would be the WORST thing to come into my life and ended up in a very abusive relationship for the next 6 years and had to protect my children from this animal on a daily basis. I think I carry a lot of guilt for being so stupid and not seeing the signs before this man wooed me with his charms and suckered me into his wicked web of deceit and cruelty. Then after the marriage, I felt I needed to stay in the relationship because that's just what women did back then. We were taught by our parents that once married, always married; no matter what. So I tried to make it all work and keep the kids safe at the same time; so quite often I bore the brunt of that man's anger and terror until I felt I could not take the abuse any longer and we fled into a protective shelter under police protection.
Well, I think I've opened up very old wounds long enough and it's now time to bury these emotions once again. I think I'll order a large pepperoni pizza for breakfast and abuse my body some more because I really do hate myself that much right now…. I'm so weak and pathetic… I deserve to be fat and ugly.

It's been about 5 months now since I hurt my back and I'm only now just starting to do light stretches and pelvic tilts to try and strengthen the weakened back muscles. I see the physiotherapist twice a week who continues to do the ultra sound therapy, "release" (light massage), and thinks I would benefit from acupuncture treatments. And starting next week, I'll be going once a week until September 7th.
I have an appointment/meeting with the WSIB back to work "specialist" and my employer on Friday morning to try to get me back to work. My physiotherapist says I can do one hour, 2-3 times a week for two weeks and then increasing by one hour every two weeks after that until I'm back up to full time hours. That is, of course, barring any set backs. I feel I am able to do this at this time but know full well my employer and WSIB will try to push for more in a shorter span of time.
What they don't know is that my husband and I are in agreement with my doctor that I'm not able to do this type of work anymore so once I'm back up to full time hours, I will consider quitting to pursue a less physically demanding job. Even though this whole time I've been off work, I've been sending out resume's by the dozen and have had absolutely NO calls or interviews. It's very discouraging for me and I've been fighting depression a lot, which of course, has me eating out of emotion.
On the bright side, I finally got approved for sick benefits from EI (government employment office) while I'm off work. Thank the Lord! These finances are very much needed!
I now weigh 231lbs…. I am getting more active but still not able to do exercise or anything too strenuous. I did a very slow and easy 10 minutes on the elliptical last week and was in major pain for three days after so I know I'm still a long way from anything more than light stretches and supported movements at this time.
Can it get anymore depressing than that? 🙁 SO not happy right now. I need a job and the ability to exercise this stress off. Until this happens, I find I'm just eating myself into oblivion…
I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!
Posted by snuggles1968 on July 4th, 2013 |Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
A couple of days ago, I was walking toward my front door to lock the house up and tripped over my husband's work bag sitting on the floor in the middle of the foyer and when I braced myself for a fall and caught myself, I hurt my back in doing so. Ever since then I've been struggling with some serious vertigo. I've been unable to walk without falling over and feeling like the room is moving around all the time. I've been nauseous and dealing with an aching stomach as if I'd been on a massive roller coaster the past two days. I can't focus or think and when I try to listen to a conversation, I get "lost" in the words. It's like being in an episode of "Charlie Brown" when he's at school and listening to the teacher go "wha-wha, wha wha"… that's basically how it goes in my head right now. I find if I just sit very still and don't move, the vertigo eases up. But the moment I turn my head or move my body, I'm back on that roller coaster and I feel like I'm going to fall again.
When I was driving the husband and son to work this morning, I even blanked out when I was supposed to be making a right turn at a "roundabout" and wasn't able to think about what I should do next. I basically "froze" at the intersection and the husband had to tell me to go ahead and do the whole roundabout to my "exit"… He's very concerned and rightly so… I was supposed to be doing the grocery shopping today, but I feel it best if I just stay home and stay still. Husband thinks I should call my family doctor but in my opinion, my doctor is no better than a drug pusher on the streets. The only difference is, the doctor is making six figures and doing it legally…. I don't want drugs to "fix" my problem, I want real life SOLUTIONS!
The back issue continues to be ongoing and WSIB remains distant and non-compliant. I've managed to stabilize my weight to 227lbs and have been staying within my calorie budget of 1979cals with the occasional splurge. However, it's very difficult when the husband eats at 11pm and makes some for me too. He's so proud of his guacamole and wants to share it with me to see what I think, it's hard to resist home-made guacamole and crispy flatbreads brushed with garlic butter and heated, I have to appease. After giving the husband some grief about it last night, I managed to scarf down the little plate of goodness along with an ice cold coke before heading to bed at midnight. The funny thing is, I was still BELOW my calorie budget for the day after that. Crazy but I find if I eat after 7pm, I do gain weight no matter how good I was during the day in controlling my calories. I'll try to do better today…
"Back" to Basics

I had my MRI on Friday, June 14 @ 8:45pm. By Tuesday, June 18th, everyone who needed to know, had the official doctor's report on my back injury. I found out I have 2 slipped discs instead of just one as we had originally suspected. The L4/L5 & the L5/S1 are out and pressing on nerves. Once my family doctor got his copy, his office called me in right away. I have an appointment to see him this afternoon at 2pm. This should be interesting. 🙂
Now we wait to hear from WSIB to see if they will change their minds about my back injury and if they will pay me for my troubles. This too, should be interesting…. to be continued…..
I weigh 225lbs this morning and I'm doing pretty good (I think) in the eating department. I've stopped eating as much and am a little more active these days. With my mother here helping around the house and the nice weather, I've been "Keeping Up Appearances" (Gotta love Hyacinth!) LOL
Some Answers

I finally got my MRI done last night at the local hospital and found out I've definitely suffered a slipped disc at the L4/L5. Bascially in lay-man's terms, the disc just above where the bum cheeks meet (sacrum) and it's pressing on the spinal nerve root that affects my right leg. Since I've not been able to "feel" my right leg and foot, I've been prone to more accidents and recently broke my second last toe (next to baby toe) when trying to lift my foot/leg up to step but not being able to get it high enough before slamming my foot into the obstacle. Needless to say, the pain raged through my foot and up into my leg for a good couple of hours afterward. Now my toe is a bright purple/black with an odd angle to it. I find it fascinating (the nurse in me) but certainly didn't need the additional pain in my body!
Weight this morning: 227.8lbs
Fighting depression and trying to keep busy but at least I've got an answer to my back pain now. The "official" report for the MRI will be ready in about a week or so. It will be interesting to see how WSIB reacts to this report. I'm sure they will try to minimize the injury once again but this time, the facts are INDISPUTABLE!
Hope & Prayer

I finally have a chance to sit down at my computer this morning having had my breakfast of 2 fried eggs, over easy, 1c of grits and a few pieces of bacon with my very delicious cup of coffee (522cals). I came to a realization yesterday over my situation with my back injury and weightloss journey. So much has been going on these past couple of months since I've been off work, it's hard to sum it up into words at times but I think it might be possible to at least attempt to write it honestly and then face the facts found in black and white when I'm done writing.
Back Injury: April 6, 2013 – Massive Pain after wrenching back at work. Unable to do anything at all including sleep, walk or exercise. Let alone, work!
May 23, 2013 – WSIB assessment doctor and physiotherapist agree I should only be walking in water and state my gait is very bad at this time. Summary report given to me states same.
Ongoing: WSIB refuse to pay medical, transportation and missed wages. Finances are hard and husband is having to work extra hours to try to make up the loss but still not enough. Son is also helping with finances, but again, still not enough. They continue to be difficult, avoiding, evading and contradictory while I suffer with back injury and constant pain. I have applied for sick benefits from unemployment but my employer is being evasive in not getting an ROE code "D" to submit with my claim. As soon as my employer gives unemployment the ROE then the sick benefits will come in and we won't lose our house. Until then, we're on the verge of losing everything!
MRI scheduled for June 14th (tomorrow) at 8:45PM so am hoping I'll finally have some answers to the intense pain. Chiropractor didn't do much for me except the traction helped spread the spine enough to take some pressure off momentarily. Physiotherapy seems to be the only thing that has helped with the ultra-sound therapy dispersing the inflammation enough so I am able to finally feel EXACTLY where the source of the pain is coming from. The physiotherapist is the FIRST and ONLY one to ever examine my back without clothing covering it up!!! Hard to believe I've been to my family doctor, chiropractor, so-called WSIB specialist doctor and the WSIB physiotherapist but NONE of them EVER looked at my BARE BACK! Only my physiotherapist that I started seeing June 4th after my chiropractic treatments ran out took the time and care to actually look at my back and she couldn't believe how swollen and hard my back was. She examined my right leg which has been numb and tingly since the day I hurt my back and found it was palpably HOT to the touch!!! She feels my injury is a slipped/ruptured disc just like my chiropractor has said from the very beginning but WSIB refuses to even consider anything but a back strain. Needless to say, I plan on getting a lawyer who specializes in WSIB lawsuits and I'm going to FIGHT them for what they OWE me because of their lack of concern for my personal welfare.
Weightloss Journey: Prior to injury I was up to 7.2 miles on the elliptical every other day and had been doing circuit training. Was getting major strength in abs, obliques, calves and arms. Stamina was at an all-time high and the fibromyalgia was pretty much non-existent. Had purchased expensive, professional running shoes to begin training for marathon running and was going to start jogging.
After injury, all forms of exercise stopped. Not even able to walk 10 feet without crippling pain and having to lay down for hours before the spasms and throbbing pain would subside enough to be able to prop myself up enough to drink water.
Since April 6th, I started eating whatever I could get my hands on from the moment I got up until just before going to bed. I stopped tracking on LoseIt, stopped weighing in daily and fell into a deep depression. I didn't want to face my feelings of complete failure and hopelessness in my situation so I ate to give myself something to do. This was at least something I have been able to do since I got hurt.
I went from a steady 214.6lbs up to my current weight of 226.8lbs and am sure I will continue to climb the longer I'm incapacitated with my back. I'm still depressed and eating enough to feed 3 of me which I KNOW is wrong and I KNOW I shouldn't BUT I can't seem to stop myself. On LoseIt, I made my meal tracking private so no-one else would be able to see what, and how much I've been eating since avoiding tracking wasn't helping me at all, at least I could track it privately and only worry about the sheer amounts of food I'm chugging back instead of fear of being judged by strangers for my weaknesses.
June 11th, I had a day of feasting and when everything was said and done, I had consumed more than 4000 calories. YES, it's true – OVER 4000 calories!!!! When I saw this on my LoseIt application, I have to admit, it floored me but at the same time, a light turned on in my head….
Here come the facts:
What I ate on June 11th is how I was eating before my weightloss journey really began! That is the TRUTH!
In all honesty, I was eating more than 4000 calories on a regular basis and gaining weight was the result. I may not have been eating like that EVERY day but enough times that it packed the weight on. I can pretend as much as I want that I wasn't eating too much at the time but the only person I was hurting was myself. No one else. No amount of "hiding" binge eating was going to cover the fact that the scale does not lie!
I am a FOOD ADDICT…. I am ADDICTED to food. I NEED help! I NEED to stop or I'm going to end up right back where I was at this time last year.
The reality is: I have no one to help me and I'm not really sure where to go from here…. and feeling totally alone and lost right now. But at least I am able to admit I am an ADDICT and I NEED help… in the meantime, I suffer in silence. My family would not and cannot possibly understand what I'm going through and I literally have absolutely no friends to share my sorrows with.
keep looking »

Push button start not working
Got the key fob for my 2011GC Limited wet yesterday. It will still start the Jeep if I remove the push button and insert the key, but will not work with either of the key fobs (even the one that did not get wet) by the push button. All other functions on the key fobs work (i.e. lock, unlock, open lift gate). Anyone know how to reset the push button function?
Re: Push button start not working
Did you open it to let it dry?
Re: Push button start not working
Yes, but had already popped the button out of the dash to use the key fab in the slot. That seemed to kill link between the button and the key fob. Still starts properly and all other functions on the key fob work (both the one that got wet and the spare). Only the push button start is not working. Not a huge problem since I can still insert the key into the slot, but would like the convenience of the button back in operation.
Re: Push button start not working
Re: Push button start not working
No longer recognizes either key fob. In addition to the push button not working, the key lock/unlock function on exterior door handles does not work. Now have to push the buttons on key fob to lock/unlock as well as inserting the key in the slot to start. Apparently have lost the blue tooth link, or whatever wireless link exists between key fob and reciever in the vehicle.

Five Things That Need to Change
Lambo is off to a bad start, with one hit in his first 20 at-bats.
Yesterday I took a look at the early results from the minor league system, focusing on five players who need to continue their early season success in order to help the Pittsburgh Pirates. Today, the focus will be on five players who are off to bad starts, who the Pirates need help from, both in the short term and in the long term. Just like yesterday, I'll point out that it's way too early in the season to analyze any of the numbers. That said, we can look at the numbers and determine what a player needs to be doing this year in order to eventually fill the needs of the Pirates in the majors.

Haha cheeky fucker
Haha cheeky fucker
i mak moysel lauf sumtoymes
and my spelling is ace.
i fucking hate rubbish spelling
I seem to remember similar comments to the ones being posted on the james saville v dave elliot thread and look what happened there.
Thanks to Dave for taking the fight, thanks to Ricky for putting it on.
Back on the show, the only people who need the match up to make sense are Davie G and his advisors and Graham Turner and his advisors.
From what i have seen of both fighters, they are both very very good and i wish the both of them the best of luck, would put money on it being the fight of the night.
please ignore my original post, as it's none of my business really and i shouldn't have commented.
again - best of luck to both guys...
i wasnt attacking...just having a laugh.
i've seen steven fight before and was very impressed....no intention to offend.
sorry dude
How much are tickets?

Reference II SeriesBeginning in 1946, company founder, Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. Together, these four design principles—high efficiency with low distortion, controlled directivity, flat frequency response, and wide dynamic range—have and always will be the foundation for our stunningly powerful and precise sound. Movies and music will sound just as they were intended to – no matter the room type or size – with the power, detail and emotion of Klipsch Reference II sound. Our exclusive Tractrix® Horn technology and titanium tweeters deliver a most impressive high-end response and greater extension, enhanced imaging and powerful dynamics. Cerametallic™ cone woofers complement the listening experience by creating bass that is always tight and well-defined with a smoother mid-range response. A new Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced performance. Pleasing to both the eye and the ear, the Reference II Series' elegantly handcrafted finishes result in a seamless integration into any décor.
