Account Manager Trainee Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Reynolds and Reynolds.
Applied through my college's career website. A couple days later they said I was moving to the next stage of application and sent me some evaluations to take. The evaluations were pretty tough, especially the math section (no calculator allowed) and took around two hours to complete. A few days later I received a phone call setting up a Skype interview.

Account Manager Trainee Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Reynolds and Reynolds in February 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied on my school's career site with resume and was sent a link to a series of online tests and assessments which were very tedious and seemed unnecessary. I then was offered a skype interview which lasted around 40 minutes, and involved relatively simple questions. They want to make sure you know about the company, you're comfortable with sales, and you don't mind commission based payment.
Interview Questions- None in particular, they were standard behavioral questions, such as "Tell me about a time you didn't get along with a team member" or "Tell me about a time you lead a group to success" or "Tell me about a time you had to tell your boss they were wrong about something".

Account Manager Trainee Interview
Application DetailsI applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Reynolds and Reynolds in June 2013.
Interview DetailsI applied online. A couple of days later I was contact by a recruit we scheduled a Skype Interview. The interview went well and I was sent what was called a long form application and a test to do online. I will not lie the test was dang difficult, it was tedious and it seemed irrelevant, I believe this was by design, weeds out the people who don't take it seriously or think its beneath them. This is a work from home job so it takes a lot of discipline to do the tedious day to day administrative duties with out a supervisor watching your every move. I was then called to do a face to face interview with the regional manager and take the test again, the personality section was omitted in this step. That interview went well and I was passed along to the Regional VP in Atlanta, we did a skype interview because of scheduling constraints on both our parts. I was then invited to ride along with one of the local account managers, in my opinion this was the most beneficial part of the process, I got to understand what I would be doing on a day to day basis. The account manager was about my age and was completely upfront about the good and the bad. I took my drug test and was offered the job.
This company has a very conservative ownership and culture, if you have an issue with that it wouldn't be a good fit. They also do not hire tobacco users, and with the cost of health care I can hardly blame them.Interview Questions- The word problems on the assessment test. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsThere is a range you can negotiate with I was able to get a little more than my initial offer. Experience in B2B is without a doubt a plus, as well as with autodealers.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview -

Account Manager Trainee Interview
Application DetailsI applied through other source. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Reynolds and Reynolds in January 2013.
Interview DetailsI was contacted by a recruiter after they saw my resume online. I thought I might as well fill out the quick less than 10 question pre-application that was emailed to me. In it it asked basic information, if I used tobacco, salary requirements, etc. I then received an additional application and tests to complete.
The tests seemed incredibly ridiculous for a sales position- I've been out of college for over 5 years, brushing up for the math portion was rough. After spending over 2 hours filling out the application and taking the tests I was moved on to the next phase- a Skype interview.
At the beginning of the Skype interview I was told that the salary I would actually receive for my first year would be almost $10,000 LESS than my minimum requirements. I ended up completing the interview (mainly for myself, it's been awhile since I've interviewed and could use some practice). For the most part, I felt like the recruiter was fairly uninterested in me and did not have the answers to fairly basic questions about the position she contacted me about. Also, during the interview the recruiter referred to the university I graduated from by the slang that our rival does- very unprofessional.
I was not sad when I received an email a few days later saying they did not want to continue the process.Interview Questions- Sample question from test: Who was Italy's ally during WWII? Answer Question

Account Manager Trainee Interview
Application DetailsI applied online – interviewed at Reynolds and Reynolds.
Interview DetailsFirst, I submitted my resume online via email as requested, and then I was contacted by a recruiter a few days later to complete an online assessment. The online assessment consisted of personality, intelligence, and apptitude tests of one form or another, and I'm certain that I did quite well on the online assessments (at leaast better than average).
About three or four days later, I was contacted by email again by another recruiter to pick at least three days/times to come in for an additional assessment and a possible meeting with a recruiter, so I sent in my preferred interview dates/times and received a confirmation for my first choice.
As soon as I checked in with the recruiting office, I was asked to take another computerized assessment, and I was given a pre-selected username & password to login. Well, this final assessment was far beyond my ability, and I don't think that I did very well. It took about an hour or so to complete, and the questions were over my head. I usually score very high on standardized tests, so I was unusually flustered by the fact that I was not doing well on this last assessment, and I knew it. Needless to say, I was not asked to visit with a recruiter follwing this final assessment.Interview Questions- No questions were asked of me. I never spoke with anyone. Just received a rejection email after all the test taking. Answer Question

Account Manager Trainee Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Reynolds and Reynolds.
Interview DetailsFirst you must take an online test. It takes about 4 hours and is heavy on Algebra, Math word games, and pattern recognition. Anyone who has taken the ACT/SAT will be familiar with this. Then there is an initial phone interview with HR. Next is an in person interview with a regional manager. Lastly, there is an interview with an area vice president.
Interview Questions- They asked to role play: "My wife wants a Boeing 757 filled with orange golf balls for her birthday present by next Friday. I was told you can get this for me." View Answer

Interview DetailsI applied for the position through Monster and was contacted a few days later to take this online assesment. This assesment was pretty rigorous and took 2-2:30 hours. bunch of pattersn and math and other random stuff. i got contacted the next day to inform me I had a skype interview. Like what all these other reviews say, the interview was kind of odd asking me about other jobs i was applying for, etc. I would like to mention that I am a recent graduate with an Economics degree and a minor in finance and have held positions of leadership roles (asst. manager etc) and feel that I am far over qualified for the position. 2 days later i emailed them asking for an update and today (next day) i received an email saying i did not qualify. i don't get it

Account Manager Trainee Interview
Application DetailsThe process took a day – interviewed at Reynolds and Reynolds in April 2009.
Interview DetailsI only had one phone interview and it lasted all of 15 minutes. The original person I was supposed to talk to couldn't do it, so some other person did instead. I had just found out about this interview the day before and had little time to prepare, however, I didnt feel like I necessarily had to given the timing. She asked me if I had any questions to start off. I had a few, like what exactly is it they do, and is the company public or private, etc... She then went on to explain some things about the position, asked me about my experience, which she said would place me among the more experienced canidates for the position. Then she asked me if I had any more questions, which I really didn't simply because the information I had on the company was so minimal and she really didnt fill me in on a whole lot. I was interested and wanted to know more, but I got a rejection email the following week. I have a feeling the interview would've went differently had the original guy been able to do it. The person giving the interview seemed inexperienced and confused on maybe where exactly I was in the interview process, which was basically nowhere. After it ended, I just figured a more in depth one would be the next step and this was just to make sure I spoke english. Whelp, I guess I need to work on my English.

Panama bracing for ex-dictator Manuel Noriega's return
With Gen. Manuel Noriega's extradition from France set for Oct. 1, Panama could be forced to finally face its unpleasant past – and reflect on just how confident it feels about the future.
Panama City
Filled with colorful chapters of revolution, civil unrest, and tin-pot tyrants, the history of Latin America has a way of repeating itself. So many Latin Americans keep one leery eye on the past at all times, acutely aware that it could sneak ahead into the future if the present is not managed properly.
But Panamanians are an exception: relentlessly optimistic, loath to ponder their own recent history of iron-fisted rule under strongman Gen. Manuel Noriega, still known disparagingly on the streets of Panama as "pineapple face."
Since Noriega was whisked away to face trial in Miami following the 1989 US invasion, the former dictator and his reign of terror have been mostly set aside by Panamanians. Freed from its olive-drab past, Panama has experienced rapid growth, with an economy growing near 10 percent and new buildings – including a Trump tower – shooting up across the skyline.
But the likely repatriation of Noriega, who has spent the past 21 years touring jail cells in Miami and Paris, could force this country to finally face its unpleasant past – and reflect on just how confident it feels about the future. (Noriega's repatriation is set for Oct. 1, after his extradition was approved by a French judge on Friday.)

I'd rather see some cleavage and leg on our 'dear leader' along with tolerating her 'Valley girl' intellect as the USS America goes stern up, listing to port, soon to slip below the waves to the bottom along with failed empires past than looking at and suffering the likes of an Obama, McCain, Perry, 'Billary', and a bunch of other old, corrupt, burnt out, evil crimpols.
Besides she can shoot wolves, kill and skin out a moose, make a huckleberry pie and no doubt provide other imagined pleasures unlike any of her bumbling, out of shape male opponents.
If push came to shove and I was forced to vote for another term of Obama vs. Palin, I'd vote for her rather than suffer another term of him as our 'dear leader'.

Welcome to New Lifestyles!
New Lifestyles is a small, coed, individualized transition program for emerging adults.

For students, New Lifestyles offers the ability to grow and thrive beyond current limitations and discomforts while making friends and continuing educational and/or career development. At New Lifestyles, the decision to enroll in a program need not mean isolation from other young adults and educational pursuits.
For parents, New Lifestyles offers the ability to foster their child's development and success as an emerging adult and the opportunity for an exceptional value when the cost of comprehensive services is compared to other programs. Parents also have an opportunity to participate in multi-family workshops where they meet other families struggling with similar issues.

New Lifestyles Restores Hope to Emerging Adults

Designed to provide an enriched, meaningful and intensive therapeutic experience while simultaneously minimizing negative attitudes often associated with hospital or residential program placements, New Lifestyles quietly and unobtrusively accomplishes this task in the context of a small town, college community, well suited for young adults seeking opportunities for growth and independence with the support and guidance of a clinical staff with specialized training.
The New Lifestyles philosophy has proven beneficial for those 18-26 years old with average to above average ability who present with diagnoses to include: bipolar and related mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder); anxiety disorders (OCD, social phobia, generalized anxiety, PTSD); personality disorders and traits (borderline, narcissistic, dependent, avoidant); learning, attention and executive functioning disorders; and certain types of autism spectrum disorders.

Well, I finally figured out why it keeps turning on the Wifi radio even after I turn it off
through the menus. There's a black Wifi button on the side opposite the uSD slot. When I'd push hard to seat the card against its spring, one of my fingers was often on the button on the other side, and it'd simultaneously turn on the Wifi radio. Was driving me nuts. Haven't figured out why it keeps locking up on me in various strange modes, necessitating pulling the battery to reset, but it sure seems Wifi related. ian |

Raise your hand if you ever fly your FPV plane in the cold.
Well too bad, appears the Hero3 doesn't like cold. Not freezing, just cold. Was 46 degrees outside. Went out to do a night flight. First flight went ok. Packed moved to another location, fired up the camera started recording and about 5 seconds later, it shows a thermometer icon and an "!" and shuts off. Turn it back on, it shuts itself off. Awesome. All those Alaska reality show TV producers will be thrilled. [edit]Did some testing. It's camera temp, not battery temp that causes it to shut down. I've flown both my Hero HD and Hero2 in sub freezing temps without issue. Other than that potential showstopper, the night time video is quite good. ian |

If I were you I'd contact GoPro or get it exchanged. Edit: The manual is online. It says: "Temperature warning icon on the LCD The temperature Warning icon will appear on the LCD when the camera has become too hot and needs to cool down. Simply let it sit and cool before attempting to use it again. Your camera will not allow itself to overheat —do not worry, no damage has occurred." It doesn't say anything about too cold. Are you sure your hero 3 is not overheating? (maybe because of some firmware bug that keeps cpu at 100%) |

Recap of ODI history between Pak and India in India
India and Pakistan matches have always been keenly contested and followed. Even though series between two nations have been few and far between, it makes for a interesting read ..
Total Number of ODI series in india : 5 (Excluding upcoming ODI Series)
Total ODI Matches played between the rival nations in India : 20
Total Matches won by : Pakistan - 12, India - 8
Total number of series won : Pakistan - 3, India - 2
What can we infer?
Whilst history suggests that pakistan have done well against india , it also reflects in there overall ODI record which is quite good against india. However in the one off matches which india have played against the arch rivals in recent times, india's record is very good.
The advantage Pakistanis have when they tour india and Vice versa is the known conditions and spinners who can use the conditions as well if not better than there counterparts.
1986-87 Series
A easy series victory of 5-1 to pakistan. Pakistan chased scores easily in most of these ODI games and had a far superior bowling unit to restrict india. I see from stats that in 6th ODI, Pak chased 265 in 44 overs, couldnt have imagined that in 1980's when ODI cricket was in its infant stages.
2004-05 Series
Six match ODI series is hard to imagine these days. India made good start by winning the first two matches, Indian batsmen went hell for leather and put pressure on pakistanis while chasing. Dhoni's 148 in the 2nd ODI was one of his best innings in the early part of his career.
Pakistan returned the favours by scoring massively in the 3rd ODI and winning easily. I still remember the 4th ODI, where Pakistan chase went till last tendulkar over. Pakistan sweeped remaining matches and the series by 4-2.
2007-08 Series
Last ODI Series played by these two teams in India. After a long time indian's won the series. This is how it panned out,
I ODI - India chased a easy 239 with the help of tendulkar's all round performance
II ODI - Pakistan continued to chase well in india, Younis khan made a brilliant 100 and ensured series got levelled.
III ODI - India won the important match on the back of a very good batting performance by Yuvi
IV ODI - India sealed series victory at Gwalior, again batting maestro played well.
V ODI - Pakistan won the dead rubber by 31 runs
It has been great history of cricket between these two teams. In India pakistan have played well in ODI's however recent history and india's complete dominance in world cups suggests that the upcoming series will be closely contested.

The Walt Disney World Resort, informally known as Walt Disney World or simply Disney World or shortly WDW, is an entertainment complex in Bay Lake, Florida (mailing address is Lake Buena Vista, Florida), near Kissimmee, Florida and is the flagship of Disney's worldwide theme park empire. The resort opened on October 1, 1971 and, according to Forbes, is the most visited vacation resort in the world, with an attendance of 52.5 million annually.
Disney World is owned and operated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, a division of The Walt Disney Company. The property covers 27,258 acres (11,031 ha; 43 sq mi), in which it houses 27 themed resort hotels, 9 non–Disney hotels, four theme parks, two water parks, four golf courses, one nine-hole walking golf course for young golfers (no electric carts allowed), two themed miniature golf courses, one camping resort, one residential area, and additional recreational and entertainment venues. Magic Kingdom was the first and original theme park to open in the complex followed by Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom, which opened later throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Designed to supplement Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which had opened in 1955, the complex was developed by Walt Disney in the 1960s, though he died in 1966 before construction on "The Florida Project" began. After extensive lobbying, the Government of Florida created the Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special government district that essentially gave The Walt Disney Company the standard powers and autonomy of an incorporated city. Original plans called for the inclusion of an "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow", a planned community that would serve as a test bed for new innovations for city living.
In 1959, Walt Disney Productions began looking for land for a second park to supplement Disneyland, which opened in Anaheim, California, in 1955. Market surveys revealed that only 5% of Disneyland's visitors came from east of the Mississippi River, where 75% of the population of the United States lived. Additionally, Walt Disney disliked the businesses that had sprung up around Disneyland and wanted control of a much larger area of land for the new project.[1]
Walt Disney flew over the Orlando-area site (one of many) in November 1963. Seeing the well-developed network of roads, including the planned Interstate 4 and Florida's Turnpike, with McCoy Air Force Base (later Orlando International Airport) to the east, Disney selected a centrally located site near Bay Lake.[2]
To avoid a burst of land speculation, Walt Disney World Company used various dummy corporations to acquire 27,443 acres (11,106 ha; 43 sq mi) of land.[2] In May 1965, some of these major land transactions were recorded a few miles southwest of Orlando in Osceola County. Also, two large tracts totaling $1.5 million were sold, and smaller tracts of flatlands and cattle pastures were purchased by exotic-sounding companies such as the "Latin-American Development and Management Corporation" and the "Reedy Creek Ranch Corporation"; some of these names are now memorialized on a window above Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom. In addition to three huge parcels of land were many smaller parcels, called "outs".
Much of the land acquired had been platted into 5 acres (2 ha) lots in 1912 by the Munger Land Company and sold to investors. Most owners were happy to get rid of the land, which was mostly swamp. Another issue was the mineral rights to the land, which were owned by Tufts University. Without the transfer of these rights, Tufts could come in at any time and demand the removal of buildings to obtain minerals. Eventually, Disney's team negotiated a deal with Tufts to buy the mineral rights for $15,000.[3]
Working under a strict cloak of secrecy, real estate agents who did not know the identity of their client began making offers to landowners in southwest Orange and northwest Osceola counties in April 1964, shortly after Walt Disney chose the site for his new theme park.
Careful not to let property owners know the extent of their land-buying appetites, the agents quietly negotiated one deal after another, sometimes lining up contracts to buy huge tracts for little more than $100 an acre.[4]
Because they knew that recording the first deeds would trigger intense public questioning about what was going on, Disney's representatives waited until they had a large number of parcels locked up through options before filing their paperwork.
Meanwhile, a rumor had popped up in California that Disney had his eye on Orlando. On May 20, an Orlando Sentinel article acknowledged the persistent rumor that "the land is being purchased for a second East Coast Disneyland attraction", but the paper discounted the gossip, because Disney had specifically denied it when interviewed during a visit to Cape Kennedy. Disney lied in telling the newspaper he was spending $50 million to expand Disneyland in California and was not interested in another such venture at that time.
The first purchases, recorded on May 3, 1965, included one for 8,380 acres (3,391 ha; 13 sq mi) of swamp and brush from state Senator Irlo Bronson. The deal had been made seven months earlier. The first newspaper account of the large-scale interest in Orange and Osceola county property ran the next day. The May 4 Orlando Sentinel story said the transactions "will undoubtedly increase rumors already afloat for the past year to the effect that a new and large industrial complex is about to locate in this area."
Because of the proximity to Cape Kennedy, much early speculation centered on space or aircraft technology, according to anthropologist Stephen M. Fjellman in his 1992 book Vinyl Leaves: Walt Disney World and America. Carmakers' names, especially Ford, also were mentioned. Speculation during the summer about the identity of the buyer included the Rockefellers, Howard Hughes and NASA's Manned Orbiting Laboratory Project.
One day while Hinson was putting out the Evening Star, Andersen's afternoon paper, he got a phone call from a friend who said he had been in the office of a New York public relations firm and had been told the firm was helping Disney plan a big development near Orlando.
"Hinson thought the 'mystery industry' had been nailed down and rushed into the office of editorial director Red McGee," Powers wrote. "You are not to touch that story," McGee told him. The story died right there.
Within three weeks of recording the Bronson transaction, Florida Ranch Lands had wrapped up deals with 47 owners. Eventually, the firm negotiated agreements with 51 owners to buy 27,443 acres (11,106 ha; 43 sq mi) for more than $5 million, an average price of $182 per acre.
Disney wanted to announce his ownership of the land and his plans for Walt Disney World on November 15, 1965, but the secret wouldn't keep that long.
In October 1965, Emily Bavar, editor of the Sentinel's Florida magazine, was in Anaheim for Disneyland's 10th anniversary celebration. During an interview with Walt Disney, Bavar asked whether he was buying up vast acreage in Central Florida.
"He looked like I had thrown a bucket of water in his face," Bavar later told Powers for his book. "I have never seen anyone look so stunned. He was too surprised, but then he recovered and said no."
Disney's evasiveness, combined with other tidbits she picked up in Anaheim, convinced Bavar.
On October 21, 1965, a story by Bavar, written in the first person and acknowledging that she was sticking her neck out, predicted Disney would build a new theme park on the huge tract. After piecing together more information from various sources, the paper led its Sunday edition three days later with a story headlined, "We Say: `Mystery Industry' Is Disney".
Disney allowed Governor Haydon Burns to confirm the next day, October 25, that he intended to build "the greatest attraction in the history of Florida" in Central Florida. Disney came in person to Orlando for the formal announcement with Burns on November 15.[5]
Disney explained the plans for the site, including Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, (EPCOT), also known as Progress City, was to be a futuristic planned city. He envisioned a working city with commercial and residential areas that also continued to showcase and test new ideas and concepts for urban living.
Walt Disney died from lung cancer on December 15, 1966, before his vision was realized. His brother and business partner, Roy O. Disney, postponed his retirement to oversee construction of the resort's first phase.
On February 2, 1967, Roy O. Disney held a press conference at the Park Theatres in Winter Park, Florida. The role of EPCOT was emphasized in the film that was played, the last one recorded by Walt Disney before his death. After the film, it was explained that for Disney World, including EPCOT, to succeed, a special district would have to be formed: the Reedy Creek Improvement District with two cities inside it, Bay Lake and Reedy Creek, now Lake Buena Vista. In addition to the standard powers of an incorporated city, which include the issuance of tax-free bonds, the district would have immunity from any current or future county or state land-use laws. The only areas where the district had to submit to the county and state would be property taxes and elevator inspections.[1]
The legislation forming the district and the two cities was signed into law by Florida Governor Claude R. Kirk, Jr. on May 12, 1967. The Supreme Court of Florida then ruled in 1968 that the district was allowed to issue tax-exempt bonds for public projects within the district, despite the sole beneficiary being Walt Disney Productions.
The district soon began construction of drainage canals, and Disney built the first roads and the Magic Kingdom. The Contemporary Resort Hotel, the Polynesian Village, and Fort Wilderness were also completed in time for the park's opening on October 1, 1971. The Palm and Magnolia golf courses near Magic Kingdom had opened a few weeks before. At the park's opening, Roy O. Disney dedicated the property and declared that it would be known as "Walt Disney World" in his brother's honor. In his own words: "Everyone has heard of Ford cars. But have they all heard of Henry Ford, who started it all? Walt Disney World is in memory of the man who started it all, so people will know his name as long as Walt Disney World is here." After the dedication, Roy Disney asked Walt's widow, Lillian, what she thought of Walt Disney World. According to biographer Bob Thomas, she responded, "I think Walt would have approved." Roy O. Disney died on December 20, 1971, less than three months after the property opened.
Much of Walt Disney's plans for his Progress City were abandoned after his death, after the company board decided that it did not want to be in the business of running a city. The concept evolved into the resort's second theme park, EPCOT Center (renamed Epcot in 1996), which opened in 1982. While still emulating Walt Disney's original idea of showcasing new technology, it is closer to a world's fair than a "community of tomorrow". Some of the urban planning concepts from the original idea of EPCOT would instead be integrated into the community of Celebration much later. The resort's third theme park, Disney-MGM Studios (renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2008), opened in 1989, and is inspired by show business. The resort's fourth theme park, Disney's Animal Kingdom, opened in 1998.
George Kalogridis was named president of the resort in December 2012, replacing Meg Crofton, who had overseen the site since 2006.
Despite marketing claims and popular misconceptions, the Florida resort is not within Orlando city limits, but is actually about 21 miles (34 km) southwest of downtown Orlando, much of it in southwestern Orange County, with the remainder in adjacent Osceola County. The property includes the cities of Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake which are governed by the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The 27,258 acres (11,031 ha; 43 sq mi)[6] site is accessible from Central Florida's Interstate 4 via Exits 62B (World Drive), 64B (US 192 West), 65B (Osceola Parkway West), 67B (SR 536 West), and 68 (SR 535 North), and Exit 8 on SR 429, the Western Expressway. At its founding the park occupied approximately 30,500 acres (12,343 ha; 48 sq mi). Portions of the property have since been sold or de-annexed, including land now occupied by the Disney-built community of Celebration. Now the park occupies 27,258 acres (11,031 ha; 43 sq mi),[6] about the size of San Francisco, or twice the size of Manhattan.
There are also many beaches around the area
Disney's property includes five golf courses. The four 18-hole golf courses are the Palm (4.5 Stars), the Magnolia (4 Stars), Lake Buena Vista (4 Stars) and Osprey Ridge (4.5 Stars). There is also a nine-hole walking course (no electric carts allowed) called Oak Trail, designed for young golfers. The Magnolia and Palm courses played home to the PGA Tour's Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic. Arnold Palmer Golf Management manages the Disney golf courses.[7] Additionally, there are two themed miniature golf complexes, each with two courses, Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland.
Catch-and-release fishing excursions are offered daily on the resort's lakes. A Florida fishing license is not required, because it occurs on private property. Cane-pole fishing is offered from the docks at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground and Disney's Port Orleans Resort.
Additional recreational activities include watercraft rentals, surrey pedal car rentals, and firework cruises that launch from several resort marinas.
Of the thirty-four resorts and hotels on the Walt Disney World property, twenty-eight are owned and operated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. These are classified into four categories — Deluxe, Moderate, Value, and Disney Vacation Club Villas — and are located in one of five resort areas: the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Wide World of Sports, Animal Kingdom, or Downtown Disney resort areas.
While all of the Deluxe resort hotels have achieved a AAA Four Diamond rating, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is considered the highest tier flagship luxury resort on the Walt Disney World Resort complex.[8]

When the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, the site employed about 5,500 "cast members". Today Walt Disney World employs more than 66,000 cast members, spending more than $1.2 billion on payroll and $474 million on benefits each year. The largest single-site employer in the United States,[17] Walt Disney World has more than 3,700 job classifications. The resort also sponsors and operates the Walt Disney World College Program, an internship program that offers American college students (CP's) the opportunity to live about 15 miles (24 km) off-site in four Disney-owned apartment complexes and work at the resort, and thereby provides much of the theme park and resort "front line" cast members. There is also the Walt Disney World International College Program, an internship program that offers international college students (ICP's) from all over the world the same opportunity.
Walt Disney World's corporate culture is based in some respects on that of its older sibling Disneyland, of which the most interesting is the use of a unique jargon based on theatrical terminology. This phenomenon is so well known that travel guidebooks have to include lists of common terms and abbreviations.[18][19] For example, park visitors are always "guests", employees are "cast members," rides are "attractions" or "adventures", cast members costumed as famous Disney characters in a way that does not cover their faces are known as "face characters", jobs are "roles", and public and nonpublic areas are respectively labeled "onstage" and "backstage".[18][19]
In a March 30, 2004 article in the Orlando Sentinel, then-Walt Disney World president Al Weiss gave some insight into how the parks are maintained:
A fleet of Disney-operated buses on property, branded Disney Transport, is complimentary for guests. In 2007, Disney Transport started a guest services upgrade to the buses. SatellGPS systems controlling new public address systems on the buses give safety information, park tips and other general announcements, with music. They are not to be confused with the Disney Cruise Line and Disney's Magical Express buses, which are operated by Mears Transportation. The Walt Disney World Monorail System also provides transportation at Walt Disney World. They operate on three routes that interconnect at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), adjacent to the Magic Kingdom's parking lot. One line provides an express non-stop link from the TTC to the Magic Kingdom, while a second line provides a link from the TTC to Epcot. The third line links the TTC and the Magic Kingdom to the Contemporary, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian resorts. Disney Transport also operates a fleet of watercraft, ranging in size from water taxis up to the ferries that connect the Magic Kingdom to the Transportation and Ticket Center. Additionally, it is also responsible for maintaining the fleet of parking lot trams used for shuttling visitors between the various theme park parking lots and their respective main entrances.
The major roads within the resort (World Drive, Osceola Parkway and Epcot Center Drive) have segments that are built as freeways with full grade-separated interchanges. World Drive enters Walt Disney World from U.S. Route 192 and heads north to the Magic Kingdom Resort Area. Osceola Parkway heads east from the Animal Kingdom Resort Area to Interstate 4. Epcot Center Drive is a freeway for most of its route, running east from World Drive, past the Epcot parking lot to Interstate 4. Buena Vista Drive is a major surface street, running east from the Animal Kingdom Resort Area to Disney's Hollywood Studios, the Epcot Resort Area, and Downtown Disney.
During the resort's early planning stages, Walt Disney referred to the project as Project X, The Florida Project, Disney World, and The Disney World. Early visual references used the same medieval font as Disneyland. Walt Disney was very involved in the site selection and project planning in the years before his death. The secretive names were chosen because of the high confidentiality of the project during the initial planning. After Walt Disney's death, Roy O. Disney added the name Walt to Disney World as a permanent tribute to his brother.
The original Walt Disney World logo featured an over-sized "D" with a Mickey Mouse-shaped globe containing latitude and longitude lines, with the property's name presented in a blocky, modern, sans-serif font. The original logo was retired during the resort's 25th anniversary celebration in 1996 and was replaced with the current logo, which features the "Walt Disney" portion of the logo in the typical Disney corporate signature font and "World" in Times New Roman font. Remnants of the original logo can still be found in many places throughout the resort, including the SpectroMagic title float, on the front car of each monorail, manhole covers, survey markers, and flags flown at several sites across the property. During the resort's 40th anniversary celebration in 2011, the original logo began to reappear on merchandise sold at the resort and can still be found on select items sold at various gift shops and stores at Walt Disney World.
As part of a competition run by Disney for 2010, Walt Disney World has an unofficial twinning (sister city) with Swindon, England, since 2009.[20][21] Rebecca Warren's submission to the competition granted Swindon to be the twin town of Walt Disney World, which is famous for its intersection with six roundabouts. Warren and the mayor of Swindon were invited to a "twinning" ceremony, where a plaque revealing the connection will be placed.[22]

Every so often I'll get a call from a reporter looking for a little color commentary on some trend or another, whether it's pajamas outside the bedroom (iffy) or the notion of men wearing makeup (very iffy). But nothing seems to have inspired more inquiries this fall than the topic of neckwear, especially as practiced by our two presidential candidates. I've tried to be as judicious as possible, offering a fair and balanced perspective without favoring one approach over another. Well, now that Election Day is upon us, I figured I'd share my perspective on the topic with the world (and by "the world," I mean those discerning enough to devote a portion of Election Day to reading this blog).
As you may have already noticed, Sen. McCain tends to prefer a wider tie, which he likes to cinch with an alarmingly tight rendition of the half-Windsor. Obama, on the other hand, prefers to fasten his post-partisan grays and purples with the less formal four-in-hand. Gentlemen, the distinction could not be clearer. And that's why, on this most solemn of occasions, I have decided to officially endorse the four-in-hand. The knot is simpler to do up (and undo), sports a jauntier, less rigorously symmetrical profile, and (no small concern for someone who's well over six feet) requires an inch or two less fabric to tie. Bottom line, it just looks better than the fusty old Windsor, half or otherwise. Say what you want about the senator from Illinois' tax proposals, but the man knows how to handle his silk. And after eight years of rule by a president who's evidently as interested in dressing well as he is in nation-building, that's change I can believe in.

On my journey of self discovery i had realised that this book just reminded me to think the way i did 10 years ago... before my heart was broken, before the hard times and before i forgot about myself. I actually believe anyone willing to do a life coaching session or discovery holiday should read this book first as it also teaches you to life coach yourself amonst a few other things and at the price you can not complain. This book is a great place to start upon the journey of self discovery and do believe the Attwoods have added all the essentials to their book for the readers.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — As some powerful Republicans continue to press their party's Senate candidate in Missouri to leave the race over his comments about rape and abortion, one anti-abortion group is coming to his defense.
Missouri Right to Life, which opposes a woman's right to an abortion even in cases of rape and incest, says Todd Akin has shown what it calls a "consistent defense of innocent unborn human life."
But another group that opposes abortion, the Christian Defense Coalition, is calling on him to drop out, saying his comments are "offensive, repugnant and troubling."
Akin just has a few hours left before a significant deadline. If he's going to drop out of his Senate race against incumbent Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill, he has to do so by day's end. After that, a court order would be needed to remove a name from the ballot.
Many of Akin's fellow Republicans are urging him to drop out, in the aftermath of his statement that women's bodies can prevent pregnancies in cases of "legitimate rape."
Akin today posted a video online, apologizing for his remarks.

Zumiez Shares Spike on Sales Numbers (Update 1)
Updated from 1:12 p.m. EST to provide executive comments regarding sales in the fourth paragraph.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Shares of Zumiez (ZUMZ - Get Report), the action-sport apparel and accessory retailer, spiked more than 13% on Thursday, following its release of March same-store sales numbers that considerably beat the analyst estimates.
The company's comparable store sales increased 2.1% for the five-week period ending April 6. Thomson Reuters analyst Jharonne Martis-Olivo forecast Zumiez's same-store sales would fall 7.5% during that time. Zumiez' total net sales for the five-week period rose 19.7% to $61 million, the company said.
Zumiez said the juniors and hard goods categories posted positive comps, while boys, men, accessories and footwear posted negative comps for the period.
"Looking to ahead to April it's important to remember that due to the Easter shift results in March and April can vary significantly," CFO Christopher Work said in a pre-recorded statement. This year's early Easter holiday will be "a detriment to comparable store sales in March and a benefit in April," Work said. Comparable store sales for the five-week period ending March 31 rose 14.1% to $50.9 million. With its focus on skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, motocross and BMX apparel and accessories, Zumiez competes with other teen active-lifestyle retailers like Pacific Sun (PSUN - Get Report) and Hot Topic (HOTT). The company has 502 stores, primarily in the U.S., under its two brands, Zumiez and Blue Tomato. Investors were pleased with the numbers from the Lynnwood, Wash.-based company. Shares were most recently trading at $28.23, up 13.4% over the previous day's closing stock price. More than 2.7 million shares traded hands on Thursday. The average three-month daily volume for the stock is 475,000 shares. -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

Mild flu season thus far
Doctors see trend holding
The flu season this year has been as mild as the weather. Indiana Health Department officials said fewer people have visited the doctor for flu-like symptoms than in past years. Even though it is unpredictable, physicians and medical authorities expect the trend to continue for the remainder of the season.
Dr. John Myers at St. Mary's Convenient Care Epworth said Indiana's flu season has been extremely light, with only a handful of isolated cases.
"We have not yet seen a true case of the flu here," Myers said.
He said it is possible there are more out there. The test administered to check for the flu is only about 60 percent accurate.
"There might have been some cases that didn't test positive and were, but these are only mild illnesses," Myers said. "Flu-like symptoms are still circulating, but none have had the right combination to be considered the true flu."
Vanderburgh County has experienced little of the average flu season woes. Denise Cory, director of communicable disease control for the Vanderburgh County Health Department, said there have been no reported flu deaths in the county. The state health department collects data from 131 emergency facilities, which reported 1.3 percent of flu-like illnesses being below the average baseline.
"That doesn't mean someone should not get a flu shot," Cory said. "It is too unpredictable to not get vaccinated."
Medical professionals don't agree about the reason for the light flu season. State Health Commissioner Dr. Greg Larkin said vaccines continue to be the most important tool in containing the flu.
"The percentage of the population that gets vaccinated directly impacts the severity of the flu season," Larkin said.
The vaccinations used this year met little resistance from the virus, meaning the vaccine was a close match to the makeup of the actual viruses. Cory said this match provides for better protection against the flu. The vaccine used this year was the same as last year. Myers said that vaccinations generally are about 70 percent effective against the virus, but a close match increases that effectiveness.
Other practitioners cite the warm weather as a key component in why the flu season has been light. Dr. Bruce Fowler said vitamin D from sunlight bolsters a person's immunity to disease.
"I have seen no other significant variable in the seasons other than weather," Fowler said. "You need about 15 minutes of direct sunlight to get the right amount of vitamin D, and people are more willing to go outside in these weather conditions."
It is impossible to pinpoint the exact cause behind this light season because of the variables involved. Myers gave credit to both sides of the argument.
"We could say it is the warm weather, we'd like to say it is because of the news we put out for flu shots and personal hygiene," Myers said. "The truth is, no one really knows why it is happening this way."
While flu numbers are not expected to take a dramatic turn, travel could have an impact. Larkin said traveling families spread disease.
"People are so mobile that a disease like that is soon statewide," Larkin said.
Because of this factor, the Super Bowl was monitored for diseases. Larkin said there may be an increase in the volume of new cases because of the event, but the intensity will not increase. There still are three months left in the regular flu season. Cory said the worst has not hit yet.
"There could be a lot of flu activity in those three months," Cory said.
Fowler agreed with that assessment. He said it is going to get worse, potentially around Easter when families travel.
"It only takes one person to bring in a virus," Fowler said. "I'm waiting for the hammer to drop."
But Myers said he does not expect the flu season to get much worse this year.
"We would have at least seen a rising number of cases at this point, but we haven't," Myers said.
Traditionally, February is the busiest time of year for the flu. The number of cases tend to peak in mid-February and subside as summer approaches.
A light season such as this can have negative consequences. Myers said that people will think they do not need a vaccine because they have not been sick.
The fine weather will not last, however, and there may be a slight peak of cases because of it.
Larkin said what happens at the beginning of the season is indicative of what will happen the rest of the season.
"We don't anticipate any abnormal instances of flu in the state of Indiana," Larkin said.
