April 21, 1996 in Nation/World
Nearly 1 In 3 Now Choose Cremation Practice Growing More Acceptable, And Funeral Directors Are Adapting
FOR THE RECORD: April 23, 1996 CORRECTION: Lonny Duce is the manager of Shoshone Funeral Services. His position with the company was incorrectly stated in an article in Sunday's newspaper.
Gary Getchell went out with a blast.
The would-be frontiersman and founder of a black powder gun club wanted to spend eternity in the woods. But his favorite spot - a Panhandle National Forests field - was not open to burial.
So, when Getchell died three years ago, friends had him cremated. They carted his remains to the forest in a Native American pipe bag.
"We put his ashes down the barrel of our guns and fired him over the meadow," said Linda Shorb, owner of October Country Muzzleloading in Hayden.
Stories like that are increasingly common in the West, where cremation has become a sort of boom industry.
In Idaho, the number of people choosing cremation over burial rose 150 percent in 10 years and now is chosen in nearly a third of all deaths.
North Idaho rates hover just below 50 percent, mirroring Washington state, which has the second-highest cremation rate in the country.
The national average is below 21 percent.
In fact, the entire industry is changing so fast that Idaho funeral directors this spring balked when the state Department of Health and Welfare considered halting annual crematory inspections.
Why the increases? Cremation is cheaper, doesn't use up land and no longer bears an anti-Christian stigma, said Jack Springer, director of the Cremation Association of North America. North Americans are more mobile - especially in the West - reducing demand for family burial plots.
In Washington, rates are higher in part because residents are environmentally conscious and because neighboring British Columbia has the highest cremation rate in Canada - 70 percent.
"The more people doing it, the more acceptable it becomes," Springer said.
The popularity of cremation in the Panhandle reflects a recent influx of urban folks from the Pacific Coast, where cremation is common, he said. North Idaho also is home to "free-thinkers" not driven by tradition - unlike the South and Midwest.
"In those places people are often buried together right on family farms the way they always have been," Springer said.
Idaho has only 16 crematories, but that's only one less than New Jersey, which has eight times the population. Idaho has added two in the past four years.
That's one reason the state Board of Morticians, which licenses funeral directors, agreed to oversee the inspections beginning in July.
"I've seen what happens in states where (inspections) are not required," said board member Lonny Duce, who owns Shoshone Funeral Services in Kellogg.
Duce recounted horror stories of businesses in other states burning several bodies at a time to save money. A California pilot once contracted with a crematory to scatter ashes over the ocean, Duce said, but instead took the money and dumped the remains on a hill behind his home.
Inspections also catch unrecognized problems. Last fall "unknown material" was found on the ceiling of a Boise crematory, where it fell and mixed with remains. Inspectors initially suspected silicon breast implants, but the substance later proved to be residue from particleboard boxes.
Complaints about Idaho crematories are rare. State inspector Greg Heitman said it's because the industry in Idaho is well-managed.
"There is nothing running rampant," he said.
When there are problems - unlike with other licensed businesses like cosmetologists, doctors and barbers - most crematory complaints come from within the industry.
Seven of the 11 complaints filed with the board in 1994 came from other funeral directors. Half of 1995's did.
"Funeral directors are so competitive that stuff gets noticed," Duce said. "Usually if there's two in one town, they'll be watching each other's back door."
Bruce English, of English Funeral Chapel and Crematory in Coeur d'Alene, agreed. "We all feel as though we're able to provide what's needed better than everybody else."
To be fair, the Kootenai County coroner's office uses a monthly rotation to contact funeral homes when someone dies without family or has not requested a particular mortician.
"It's just like with wreckers that respond to car accidents," said Jody DeLuca, deputy coroner. "If there were 30 people dying in a month and they all went to English, I wouldn't be happy if I was Yates (Funeral Home)."
As the business of cremation grows, funeral directors and wholesalers are adapting.
Regional spinoff businesses specialize in urns for outdoor enthusiasts. Some are shaped like mountains or are carved out of wood and look like duck decoys. One includes a fish and fisherman.
Area funeral homes have increased urn selections from a half-dozen in 1990 to more than 40, including one ornate vase with two bronze dolphins that sells for $1,200.
"People see that and say 'That's a nice piece of bronze sculpture' and they'd never know it was an urn," English said.
If projections hold true in the cremation industry, there will continue to be plenty of business to go around. In addition to population increases - and the resulting increases in death - Springer's group projects Idaho will be cremating 64 percent of its dead by the year 2010. Washington could be as high as 67 percent.
And while traditional forms of burial fade, remembrances of the dead live on.
All of which seems appropriate to Shorb and her muzzleloading friends.
They now visit Getchell every year during their annual rendezvous in the Fernan Ranger District's Hudlow Meadow. They can honor him in ways they couldn't if he had been laid to rest in a cemetery - with a target shoot and other black powder events.
"This is exactly where he wanted to be," Shorb said.

MEMO: This sidebar appeared with the story: LESS EXPENSIVE A low-cost North Idaho cremation by a funeral home - which includes paperwork, but not burial - is about $1,300, said Lonny Duce, owner of Shoshone Funeral Services. The cheapest burial - in a Kellogg cemetery where the plot sells for $10 - will cost at least $2,500. Most cemetery spaces cost more.

A staggering 40 per cent of our population is under 30. Think about that. Four out of every 10 of us is under 30, meaning a new generation is coming of age to fundamentally change every aspect of this country.

Welcome to the New Zealand home of Italian film on DVD
Bundle of the 2005 Italian Film festival DVD set and 'Italy: Love It or Leave It?'
Last month we publicised the first ever Italian Film store sale! I am pleased to say the majority of the 2005 Italian Film festival DVD sets in stock were sold. The purchasers got a great bargain. But we still have a few left and I am keen to sell the last of these. Therefore this month we are having our first promotion bundle. Once these 2005 Italian Film festival DVD sets are sold there will be no more available. Forever.
This month's promotion is a bundle of the 2005 Italian Film festival DVD set and 'Italy: Love It or Leave It?' at $124.99 inc GST, a 31% reduction from the normal selling price,valid until the 31/3/15.
The 2005 set was the first festival DVD set released in New Zealand and in my opinion contains some of the best Italian films ever made. Top of the list is 'After Midnight (Dopo Mezzanotte)', one of my favourite films. A beautiful romance, situated within a stunning iconicTorino building; the building itself becoming one of the main characters in the film.
Whilst 'Italy: Love It or Leave It?' is a must see documentary on the challenges of living in Italy, particularly for the 20 - 40 year old age group. Luca and Gustav are two young Italians who over the past few years have witnessed the exodus of many of their friends to Berlin, London, Barcelona or New Zealand; creative, talented people who cannot see a future in their country.Gustav believes the time has come for them to go abroad too, while Luca wants to convince him that there are many good reasons to stay. Agreeing to give themselves six months to make their decision, they embark on a journey across their boot-shaped land in an old Fiat 500, the symbol of Italy's economic miracle.
Also included on the 2005 set are 'The Consequences of Love (Le conseguenze dell'amore)', winner of 5 2005 David di Donatello awards. A Paolo Sorrentino masterpiece starring Toni Servillo. 'Good morning, Night (Buongiorno, notte)', itself a winner of 4 2004 awards, featuring Luigi Lo Cascio and Maya Sansa; a reenactment of the kidnapping of Aldo Moro. And of course the followup to 'Bread & Tulips' of 'Agatha and the Storm (Agata e la tempesta)' by Silvio Soldini, a NZ festival favourite.
There are 12 films for NZ$124.99 inc GST plus $5 courier costs.
Plus we also have a small number of units of each of the 2013, 2012 vol 2, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 & 2007 sets.
If you have not previously done so, register for this site and you will receive regular, but limited, updates on the availability of new films. Please make sure you select the newsletter option.
Buon divertimento.

There's a new rival to Cliffs Notes – the study guides sometimes read by students who'd rather not read the original piece of literature – no matter how famous. Now a company is offering NotePods – downloadable summaries of some of the great classics. They are not books on tape in their entirety – merely summaries of the plot and the main characters. While the company touts them as a new innovative study aid, some educators have their doubts.
Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman will deliver his seventh State of the City address this evening.

Blogging is becoming more and more prevalent in the accounting profession. Michele Golden, one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting according to Accounting Today, has a blog where she lists the many accounting firm and related industry blogs currently out there. If you watch it for some time, you will notice that it is growing every month. I think this is a clear indication that the accounting industry is integrating digital content into their marketing mix in a good way.
The best blogs use language that is rich, but not over saturated with the right keywords. They also incorporate a good mix of thought leadership and engaging content (humorous language and videos, well executed interviews, good counterpoints, etc.). Are you just getting started? These three posts from Jen Joly, our marketing and communications manager, should help you get going.
Here are a couple of blogs Michele Golden listed that I find to be done particularly well (and why):

My three-year-old's been neutered but he still has urges. He gets on top of my plush bear, sinks canines into the soft head, and drags the bear over the mattress bucking his hips. It's somewhat lewd. It's been happening daily and I pray he doesn't do this in front of my girlfriend or parents. Still, I feel bad for him.
I call his lover Honey Bear. She looks like she's been around the block. Sometimes I watch him dream—eyelids fluttering, whiskers quivering—and imagine he's rolling on the bed with five fluffy children.

why do roses turn brown??
the_gardens_friendJune 26, 2006
why do roses turn brown??
diane_nj 6b/7a
Are you asking about the bloom or the plant (leaves, canes)?
The blooms turn brown for several reasons. One is an insect called thrips. They suck the moisture out of the petals. If you shake out a bloom, you can see the insects. The other is wet weather. You know if you soak a tissue it gets wet, so do petals eventually if there is a lot of moisture, and if they don't get a chance to dry off, they turn brown and stick together. Probably facilitated by a fungus called botrytis.

Who knows on-screen sex better than the folks at PornHub.com, one of the Internet's most popular adult entertainment websites?
PornHub invited its frequent visitors to vote for America's "Favorite Mainstream Sex Scene" of all time… and the results are in. Congrats to Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman for nabbing the coveted award for their performance in "Black Swan".
Mila and Natalie's racy scene earned 32 percent of votes, with 17 percent of voters choosing Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thorton in Oscar-nominated "Monster's Ball".
Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderes landed the third place prize with 16 percent of voters choosing their passionate love scene in "Original Sin".
I would normally re-direct you to the original posting for the complete list, but I don't want to get you in trouble at work. I'm sure you can find it on your own when you get home.

Pollo Loco at ChocoChicken
Wednesday, August 13, 2014 | 8 months ago
ChocoChicken is a restaurant dedicated to chocolate-flavored chicken. It sounds like a joke. And when Adam Fleischman, founder of the Umami empire and monetary force behind many other L.A. restaurants, announced in January that he'd be opening a concept based not around mole but actual, yes, chocolate-flavored chicken, many of us treated it as a joke. It is not.

The Trek director Ilbert was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. So were Paulo and Marcial. All of the staff were competent and friendly. The trail cook prepared excellent meals, and the porters and others were terrific. I could not have asked for a better support team.
Hiking the Inca trail was a bit of a challenge for me. But with this support team it was amazingly safe and an excellent experience.
The Marquesas was a comfortable place to stay. It was clean and quiet and conveniently located in Cusco.
The kitchen staff prepared wonderful meals.
I highly recommend this to anyone.

Hi Robyn and SAS Travel,
We returned from our trip to Peru 2 weeks ago. I just wanted to thank you and SAS for a fantastic time! Everything was perfect, We were always met at the airport, bus and train stations on time, the food on our tours was great and the Hotel Marqueses was beautiful! All of our guides along the way were knowlegable, friendly and accomodating to every ones needs. The staff at the Marqueses were friendly and helpful and I must give a special thank you to Liz in the breakfast area. Not only were the breakfasts at the hotel fantastic, Liz met us every day with a big smile and lots of information on the area and sights to see. She is a great asset to the Marqueses!
I highly recommend SAS Travel. Thanks again Robyn.
Warmest Regards,
John and Ruth Swan

Back in October this year we had a fantastic time walking the Inka Trail to Muchupicchu with SAS Travel, the food was 5 star, and our guide Fredd second to none. SAS helped make a holiday of a life time, it not only met our expectations but exceeded them. We also took up your recommendation and did the 2 day tour of Lake Titicaca and this just built on the experience. When setting out on the Lake Titicaca tour the three of us never though we would be dancing in national costume at 3800 meters, so a very big thank you to you and your team who helped make our holiday so unforgettable. Valerie Cook

My husband and I just returned from the Inca Trail trek. It was one of the best experiences we have ever had. My husband has been on several other treks with different companies in different countries and said that SAS Travel was far superior. Our guide Alvaro was incredible -he was funny, warm, helpful, caring, and genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. He was also extremely knowledgeable and taught us many things we will never forget. Anyone that treks with Alvaro is very lucky! We also had amazing food cooked by the incomparable Humbertto, it was a gourmet feast at every meal! Hernan was another fabulous guide that ensured we were all safe and comfortable as we trekked. And the porters did everything in their power to make this a memorable trip which it absolutely was. I highly recommend SAS Travel and hope that others are able to experience the Inca Trail trek with this wonderful group of individuals.
03 November 2014
Completed the 4 day 3 night Inka Trail. Amazing group, our guides Eder (very funny) and Havier were amazing hosts, they not only accommodated us in every way but also looked after us and kept us entertained. Eds knowledge was very useful. Our fantastic Chaskis (porters) were beautiful, very hardworking, humble men, always smiling. Our chef and sous chef prepared the most delicious and substantial meals, over feeding us. Definitely not what we expected. Would highly recommend. Thank you for the experience.
16 September 2014
mike was an excellent tour guide! thanks mike for looking after darragh!!!
16 September 2014
Thank for looking after me on the trek mike!!! great job.
10 September 2014
Edder and Hernan were phenomenal guides, who had so much patience and humour to get us through the trek!!! We saw so many amazing things, llamas, snow capped mountains, and even a shooting star before we even got to Machu Pichu. I can not recommend SAS travel enough, you guys are legendary. Thank you sooooooo much for everything!
24 August 2014
We had the experience of a lifetime! The Inca trail was magical and the service was outstanding on our trek August 5-8, 2014! Our guide, Felipe Salon, was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and supportive. He was the perfect guide and can't thank him enough!
The food the chef, Ricardo, cooked was fabulous! Wonderful hot meals 3 times a day exceeded our expectations. Our waiter and porter, Jose, was the sweetest and nicest man always making sure we were happy. All the porters were amazing! I can't believe the strength and dedication these men have and made it all possible for us to do this trek by carrying all our equipment and food! It was amazing watching them run up and down the mountain side with all that weight. Supermen!!!
We had a trip of a lifetime and SAS made it all possible! Thank you!
01 July 2014
AMAZING AND UNFORGETTABLE! Jimmy and Eric were our incredible guides on this fantastic journey. They were thoughtful guides who helped our group of 11 hikers bond right away. I can't emphasize enough how amazing the porters and chefs were- we had elaborate meals every day, and were always well-fed and hydrated. SAS did an exceptional job and it's clear that they are an elite company. Thank you for everything.
08 June 2014
My friend and I hiked the Classic Inca Trail with SAS from May 18th to 21st. We also booked with SAS the Sacred Valley and Cusco tours and stayed at the Hotel Marqueses you recommended. Booking the trip, tours and hotel was very easy via e-mail as the SAS and hotel staff was very responsive.
The Inca Trail trek with your company was a superb experience. Your staff was very friendly and helpful. The porters did a great job carrying our group's equipment and setting up the campsites. They made sure that our tents were always in a great location. The food was exquisite! I cannot compliment it enough. All our meals were delicious and consisted of a variety of freshly prepared dishes. There were six people in our group and the quality of food exceeded all our expectations. We were treated to a feast at every meal. Compliments to our cook!
I also cannot give enough praise to our guide Ruben. He was simply outstanding! He tended to all our needs, making sure that everyone was having great time throughout the trek. In addition to being very knowledgeable about Peru and the Inca culture, Ruben is simply a great guy: very polite with a great sense of humor! We all truly enjoyed his company and stories. When we were saying goodbye to him at our celebratory lunch in Aguas Calientes, we were saying goodbye to a friend.
The stay at hotel Marqueses was very pleasant. The hotel is in a convenient central location and has a charming local ambience. The staff was very helpful from the time we arrived in Cusco (they picked us up from the airport) throughout our stay. The breakfast at the hotel was also very good.
Thank you for organizing our Inca Trail trek and making it a very enjoyable and memorable adventure! Special thank you to Ruben, our porters and the cook! You guys are the best!
06 June 2014
The best thing about our 4 day and 4 night Inca Trail hike was the excellent care and knowledge provided to us by our guides, Saul Palma Herrara, Paul Gibaja Tapia, Yoshiro Canal Ortiz, as well as the good food and service from the rest of the crew. We wouldn't have been able to have had such a memorable experience if it hadn't been for them. I couldn't imagine having a better Inca Trail guide has Saul who has done the Inca Trai countless times and has a special tie to Machupicchu since his dad took him there at the age of 6. He is a passionate and eloquent speaker who is obviously proud and extremely well - educated about Peruvian history. The Inca trail and Machupicchu is absolutely amazing on their own merit, but having such a great guide made the Inca sites come alive as only a truly gifted historian can do! Thanks again Saul, Paul, Yoshiro, and the rest of the SAS Peru travel company!
05 June 2014
We had a fabulous trip with Ruben and Alex! They were the best guides. The food was amazing and the scenery was unforgettable!
Thank you for a wonderful trek to Machu Picchu!
08 May 2014
We had the MOST AMAZING trek. The food highly exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. The equipment was great, our porters were awesome. Other people we wold meet along the way that hired other tour company's complained and we kept hearing they were unhappy with their food, equipment, etc but not one person in our crew complained and we were so thankful we hired SAS. This is more than a vacation, it is an experience you will never forget.
16 January 2014
We finished our trip in South America the best experience was Peru specially the Inca Trail to Machupicchu city it is a big challenge, the team: porters,coordinator, cook and the amazing guides, Hilbert made this adventure an unforgettable experience I will recommend this company SAS travel to all my friends.Thanks...Peru country is a Paradise.
The survivers from Canada - no gain, no pain
15 December 2013
Thanks for a wondeful adventure in the mountains I learnt the Mother Earth(Pachamama) and the Sacred Mountains (Apus) are very important. The andean people (porters,cook,coordinator) are hard workers, all my respect...we had 4 wondeful days , the Inca trail is a fantastic experience...One more time...THANKS Hilbert and Jose
25 October 2013
SAS Travel organized our Sunrise tour of Machu Picchu, and also a classic tour of Colca Canyon from Arequipa. All went well and we had a great time. We were picked up at our hotel on time, our guides were very informative and did a great job taking care of the group. The hotel in Aguascalientes was basic but we did not mind since we spent such a short time in it. The food was good. We had plenty of time for pictures, and exploring on our own in MP. We highly recommend SAS Travel, and we thank them for a memorable experience in Peru.
07 October 2013
This has been one of the most tough yet exhilarating adventures I have experienced. I am not a very experienced hiker but fit for my young (51 years) age.
The scenery and archaeological site visits where worth every step. It was amazing.
The physical effort was sometimes demanding but the food provided in the rest breaks was perfect ; delicious, nutritious and plentiful.
The team who supported us - Guide, Chef and assistants, and horseman, where just incredible, thoughtful and so well organised.
We had a person on our team who was challenged with Soroche/ Altitude Sickness and the Guide supported and cared for him in an experienced and considerate manner. Fortunately this trekker managed to continued safely and enjoy completing the adventure.
Thank you for organising such an incredible adventure that gave mean opportunity to discover more of beautiful Peru and more about me!
With much appreciation, Chris
01 October 2013
Finished the 4D/3N Lares Trek last night and can barely even find words for how amazing it was. This trek has been the most exciting portion of my travels through Peru thus far as an ESL teacher, and I want to motivate anyone who may be apprehensive towards booking it to just DO IT!
I could clearly see where every dollar went and it was worth every penny.
Our guide, Christian, was incredibly knowledgeable, hilarious, and caring. Our chef, Ricardo, made the most fantastic meals I have had in Peru, and we were lucky to have them both on our trip. The porters paid attention to every detail, and went as far as rolling up our sleeping bags for us while we were haing breakfast, and setting up our tents comfortably before even arriving to our camp destinations.
Macchu Picchu of course was breathtaking, and the tour was incredibly inspiring and informational. The trek itself was challenging and fun, though TOUGH at some parts. If I can offer some advice, acclimatize for 3 days at least before beginning this trek.
Once again, book with SAS. I can confidently say that I will book my future endeavors with them and will recommend to all of my friends and family to do the same.
Thanks for an awesome trip SAS!
10 September 2013
This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life!
Thank you SO much Robyn, the office staff and most of all Edward - the EXCELLENT guide and his associated cook and porters! (how did they do it!)
It was one of these experiences that could have gone SO wrong! The others booked on the trip were sick and so it was only me left to go- AND SAS RAN THE TRIP FOR one person!
I cant thank them enough for the experience.
On the trail Edward was so supportive and helpful. I had trouble with the altitude (which I hadnt anticipated) - without him I wouldnt be able to say "I did it!"
I learnt SO much about the Inca people and their beliefs- had so many encounters with the locals in villages and now have a mind full of marvelous pictures of great vistas and experiences. All the other reviews I have read tell of the passion of the guides for their culture and surroundings and I can only endorse this!
Thank you all SO much for such an experience - I include the staff of the Marqueses in this!
If anyone else is reading this and making up their mind to go - DO IT with SAS!

Assistant Store Manager Interview
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Starbucks.
Met two district managers at a Starbucks and felt at ease and actually was a really great experience. They both asked me situational questions. I.e. Describe a time when you had to say no to something, and what was the outcome.

Assistant Store Manager InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at Starbucks.Interview Details
Overall, it took about one month between the date that I applied for the job, and the date that the job was officially offered to me. I was called by the Recruiter about 4 days after initially applying, we set up a phone interview for the following week. The interview went for about 20-25 minutes during which we discussed my work history, interests outside of work, accomplishments at my previous jobs, and why I decided to apply for Starbucks. The interview felt very relaxed and almost as if I was talking to a friend.
My best advice would be to always be honest. Don't worry if you cant immediately answer a question. Ask if you can come back to that subject later while you continue with the interview. When giving examples of accomplishments, DONT give vague examples like "you sold the most phones at your store". Give specifics. If you managed to reduce over time, say so and give an honest percentage of how much you helped in reducing it. If you saved your company money due to inventory management or by reorganizing a specific program, explain and how much was saved by the company. $ and %'s are a big plus. Regarding outside interests, don't give something like playing video games, or playing football with your buddies. Be honest but be imaginative. Remember that Starbucks is a community oriented company. They are all about giving back and looking out for the communities that they're in. If youre into community service, say so. Let them know what you've done, how the idea came up, purpose, and final outcome. When youre asked why you decided to apply, give a personal experience that you had with Starbucks. Ive been a Starbucks regular and though I didn't ask anyone what they thought of the company, I knew that they were happy. If you pass the phone interview, you will then be asked to come in for a face to face interview with two District Managers.
Below I am listing some of the questions that I was asked both during the phone interview and the face to face interview. I wont be able to remember each one but I will list as many as I can remember.
Questions :
1. Give an example where you had to deal with a difficult employee or coworker. What caused the issue? What did you do to resolve the situation? (if you can give specifics, even better. Names, specific causes, time frame, etc.)
2. Give an example where you had a conflict with a supervisor. (same questions as above)
3. Give an example of your strengths. Weaknesses. (For this one, I suggest adding what you are doing to improve your weaknesses)
4. Give an example of how you have (or would) inform employees on the tasks that need to be accomplished for the day or any directives that come down from headquarters.
5. What did you study in college? How would you apply what you learned, in the Asst. Mgr. position? (My major is not at all related to retail or hospitality. I do have management experience and luckily my major is very people oriented. So I was able to give an honest answer and how that would greatly benefit not only my performance, but also my contribution to the company.)
6. Give an example of a time that you had to have a tough conversation with someone.
7. Give an example of a time that you had to bring up a coworker's/subordinate's performance.
This is about all I can remember for now. If you make it to the face to face interview, you might be offered something to drink. Accept it but don't ask for something outrageously expensive. Keep it simple. You will be asked if you have any questions for them so my advice would be to come prepared. Prior to the interview think of any questions that you may have or something that you would like cleared up. DONT ask for what your salary will be. You can look online (and on this website) for a range of salaries for this position. Besides, the salaries are good and the benefits are very well worth it. Along with those benefits Im including working with people that actually want to be there. Trust me, its worth it.
After the interview, the DM's will excuse you, thank you for your time and will most likely stay behind to discuss their thoughts and opinions. Thank them for the opportunity. Remember to take your trash out. Remember that as an Assistant Manager youre responsible for others, not the other way around.
From here, if you are cleared for moving forward, your recruiter will submit a background check. It might take a week or two but don't worry. Youre recruiter will keep you up to date on the progress. SBUX is really good about that.
Remember, BE HONEST! You don't want to lie, you don't want to get caught in a lie, and you don't want to say you can do something and then show the complete opposite once you are working and responsible for 7-15 people. Remember, its not just your employment, salary, and livelihood at stake. It's also the partners' employment, salary, and livelihood that youre being responsible for. Don't be one of "those" managers.Interview Questions

January 18, 2012 – (BRONX, NY) – What is it like to be a practicing physician in today's world of breakthrough technologies, expanding therapeutic options, insurance challenges, health policy debates and increasingly savvy e-patients? Faculty members at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University will provide a rare window into the lives of doctors navigating this evolving landscape with "The Doctor's Tablet," a new blog launched today on Einstein's website.
"Einstein's faculty members have a wealth of unexpected stories – and varied perspectives on pressing medical issues – waiting to be shared," said Gordon Earle, associate dean of the Philip and Rita Rosen Department of Communications and Public Affairs. "Many of them are also gifted writers with sharp points of view. We decided it was the right time to create an outlet for them."
"The Doctor's Tablet" will tackle a range of subjects, from doctors' personal experiences in clinical practice to considered viewpoints on medical questions of the day. Beyond the world of statistics, paperwork and policy, daily interactions in medicine are usually quite personal – for doctor and patient alike. "The Doctor's Tablet" will reflect this reality, offering thoughtful contributions to the ongoing conversation on the state of healthcare and translational research and how both intersect with people's lives.
"We expect 'The Doctor's Tablet' to be thought-provoking, but we're also hoping it will spark vigorous debate and discussion," said Paul Moniz, managing director of communications and marketing, who will help oversee the blog along with social media manager, David Flores. "In an open academic environment such as Einstein's, frank and honest discourse is encouraged and we hope readers will jump in and engage with the authors – and each other," Mr. Moniz added.

Compost Tea
I've been making a tea for my house plants by taking one handful of Happy Frog Ocean Forest in one gallon of water. Let sit for 10 hours with frequent stirring. I would like to apply this tea to recently transplanted seedlings and am wondering if it would be harmful to those youngins?
Thank You, Wayne (Montana Zone 4)
Ocean Forest is a potting mix, not a compost. It does contain some worm castings and guano, so with somewhat of a basic nutrient dose. It would be pretty harmless applied to transplanted seedlings - many folks grow in this stuff directly (especially those who grow the wacky tabacky!).
Thanks gardengal, when I first started researching the Happy Frog stuff I was amazed at who was using this product by the bucket full---they have some very creative names for their websites. !
I also use Fish/Seaweed Emulsion as a fertilizer and I just wanted to try something different---I'm getting bored with cabin fever here in Montana with piles of snow all over the place. It may be Spring but we still have sub-freezing temps.
I feed my plants fish/seaweed emulsion. I was just looking for something to feed seedlings just transplanted from the seed mix into a potting soil. It's beginning to look as if my idea is not worth the effort...
Miguelovic, thanks for the link, it looks very interesting, I've just bookmarked it to read later.
Happy Frog contains things like "composted forest humus" and bat guano both products that taking from those environments can disrupt them. Fine Gardening magazine has an article that tests various potting soils and rates them and Happy Frog is one of those tested. Probably not something I would spend my money on.
If someone is going to make compost tea, compost should be used, not potting soil.
At my ripe ol' age I am just now starting my first vegetable garden. Being brand new to all this it looks as if I used the wrong terminology when describing my version of "compost tea."
The idea came to me when visiting a nursery and I asked about Happy Frog Ocean Forest. The owner cautioned me that the product "was hot" so be careful if using it with recently transplanted seedlings. So I ask myself why not make a tea out of this and maybe use it as a weak fertilizer on a regular basis?? Based upon the list of ingredients it looked as if Happy Frog would make a decent tea if used regularly---this product contains a number of microorganisms that must be beneficial for a living soil environment. "Living Soil".....I looked that phrase up to make sure it was appropriate and it does appear to be a correct term widely used by many gardeners, although it is a new idea to me.
My soil mixture for indoor containers is one part of Happy Frog-Ocean Forest, one part coco peat and one part vermiculite---this mixture has proven to be very beneficial as my plants all look very healthy. (This particular mixture was the idea of a popular gardener on YouTube and not my original idea). Of course I'm a rookie, but if my plants are green, looking very healthy and putting out new growth then I'm happy along with the Happy Frogs. I'm still in the learning curve here and perhaps foliage would have been a better choice of words?
I've also done a fair amount of research on potting mixes, apparently Happy Frog may not be popular with certain growers; however, it is widely used and comes highly recommended---even from "Organic Gardeners" whatever that term means. I'm determined not to use any petroleum based inorganic fertilizers but yet the Happy Frog comes in a nice plastic container which is a product of the petro-chemical industry. What to do??
I'm a retired chemist that loves to experiment with new ideas. So I've decided to continue with my idea and use my version of "compost tea" even though it really isn't compost---I'll call it "Happy Frog Tea" and will let the chips fall where they may. I'll be monitoring soil moisture levels along with the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.
In general, leachate is the stuff you are making if you throw some "soil" in waterband mix it up. Compost tea is highly aerobic, teaming with millions of organisms. The two can be quite different. I would make compost tea, not leachate. You just need an aquarium pump and basically keep doing what your doing, but use compost, not expensive enriched peat that you get suckered for.
I would caution on using compost tea of seedlings, i did last year and every one had damp off, completely ruined my whole setup.. If the seedlings is, well not a seedling anymore, and ready to transplant to a bigger pot, i see no harm in applying the compost tea, or leachate( but leachate could be of more risk because it's less oxygenated, more pathogens,etc).
Research Dr.Elaine Ingham compost tea.
I actually meant feeding the compost tea :)
I don't think the Happy Frog Tea is going to kill any one this side of Sunday. Ingram is a good read, a bit of a stiff (don't make tea with out lab analysis, pushing towards manufactured products, still adds humic acid to brews, etc.) but she knows a hell of a lot more than I do hehe.

Earnings: Chart Analysis For QCOM, VMW, YUM 0 comments
QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) reports earnings today. The company is expected to report $0.95-$0.99 profit per share. While the analysts have given their opinions, I find it far more accurate to analyze the charts.
First, the stock has surged dramatically in 2012. It has jumped from $54.70 to a recent 52 week high of $68.87. This move represents a 26% move. While the stock has pulled back slightly off its highs, it has made a bear flag pattern which tells of likely downside coming. Based on the chart, this stock has a slightly better chance of dropping on earnings than moving higher.
VMware, Inc. (NYSE:VMW) and Yum! Brands, Inc.(NYSE:YUM) will also report earnings after the market closes today. Both charts are extremely extended. While there is always a chance of further upside, it is hard to think even on good earnings, the stocks could jump much. Poor earnings could see a solid fall.
