I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in December 2013.
Interview Details I was contacted by an Enterprise recruiter after posting my resume on a job site. There was an initial screening interview that lasted maybe 10 minutes. At the end of the phone call, a 1 on 1 interview with an HR rep was scheduled in the corporate office. At the end of this interview, a 2 hour interview/job shadowing was scheduled for the next week. For an hour, I followed an Assistant Manager at an actual Enterprise location, and concluded the process with an hour long interview with the Branch Manager and Area Manager.
Interview Question – What's one time you've risen above problems with coworkers. Answer Question

Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in December 2013.
Interview Details Have a Bachelor Degree (any field) To get hired first you apply to the website, they dont take any walk in resumes at but it doesnt hurt to get your face out there. Once selected the recruiter will contact you about 1-3 days from the time you applied. They will give you a 10 minute approximate interview over the phone to see if you will qualify and agree to the base pay. If your looking for new work or is right out of college, it doesn't sound bad at all. Once that process is complete they will set you up with the HR Manager of the area you are need in, to do your second interview in person.If you pass you will have to come in on a separate day to do your "Branch Observation" They do this to see how you interact with other employees, if you are outgoing and active, if your social, if you can handle the pace and work load, and if your a presence in the office. This is good to see if you could do the work, so they have you shadow an experienced employee to watch them sale and handle the work. After about 2 hours the hiring area and branch manager will interview you in a back office on site. If you pass your third interview you will be scheduled to attend training which is usually scheduled on a Monday. They do pay for training, hotel expense, food and pocket money while in training. Its located south of Down Town LA, ( cant disclose exact location) just think about 1 hour from san diego coming north and about 55 mins coming from the san fernando valley going south. Training last for a week (5 days M-F) during training you will learn basically the back end side of the business for example: computer programs you will be using and the promotion process. Then you learn a little about sales, depending on the teacher you might practice sales while in training. Believe me training doesn't teach you how to sell but what your selling. Once your done with all of the testing and training, you will be sent to a local branch, on your own, for your branch observation. Usually they send you to the branch you will work at but if its too far from the training facility they will send you to a local one. If you have the highest score on your final exam you will receive a leather binder indicating you were the top scorer. Once your done with all the training your usually scheduled to work your first full day that following Tuesday.They do this because Monday is the absolute busiest day every week through the year. In some cases you might have to wait another week before you can actually begin work. Based on my experience this usually happens because they hired you while either the Branch or Area Manger is out of town. They want to be there for your first day.
Interview Question – The interview isn't what I would consider challenging. Enterprise seeks highly motivated and competitive people. They tend to be attracted to former athletes, especially in college. Its not mandatory to have a sports background to get hired, but if you did play any sport in high school or college your in a really good spot. Since the job is all about the being a team player and being very competitive, while taking care of your customers. They understand most former athletes have that "hard work drive" in them naturally. My advise is to highlight your success with any sport or form of competition you were apart of in the past. It makes the interview a lot more comfortable. Here's some questions that stood out : " Tell me about a time when you had to overcome adversity, what happened, what did you do to fix it, and what have you learned from that experience" ( sales type question) " Tell about a time when you were the leader and had to lead a team to achieve some sort of goal or expectation, and how did you do it?" (managerial type question) Trust me, a lot of people have very limited experience with these types of question and are forced to use an example that's not really related to the question. Most people will refer to something about a school project or something that happened while they were in Junior high school. There really isn't a wrong answer for this but it seems that those who have a good sports background tend to pass that oral interview with flying colors. View Answer
Negotiation Details – They dont really give you the chance to negotiate. They offer you the base pay for a Management Trainee take it or leave. On the plus side, that base pay is consistent with all MT'S so there isnt a negotiation.

I applied online and the process took 3 days - interviewed at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in November 2013.
Interview Details I read about the interviewing process on glass door before arriving for my interview and as expected I was asked a series of questions about my goals, aspirations, what it means to be a "manager", etc. I interviewed with both the regional manager and the manager of that location. Both were very friendly and made me feel comfortable. The regional manager boasted about how she started from the bottom and worked her way up. They bragged about the advancement opportunities that were available. However, although it was initially stated that "no sales experience" was required, I was asked over and over again in different ways about my sales experience, which I didn't have because the ad said you didn't need any. The interview lasted about 45 minutes (they were both about 15 minutes late as well). got a call back for the 2nd round (there are three in total), but I decided to pursue other opportunities. The job is not what they make it sound like - everyone starts on the sales floor no matter how much experience or education you have. You drive people to their cars and pick them up. You wash cars in your business attire. You are pressured to sell the added insurance and upgraded cars (hence the need for sales experience). Oh, and the hours are terrible (10 hours a day plus saturdays). This company seemed promising, but in the end they glamorized a crappy job to desperate graduates seeking employment.
Interview Question – All the questions relating to sales and numbers - I did not have sales experience, though they kept trying to get me to admit I did. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Job was not what it seemed.

Welcome to PopCap.com Customer Support. Have a nice day!
Games - General Information
Whatever happened to...
Looking for a game you remember playing or purchasing on PopCap.com but can no longer find on the site?
I bought a game called "<game> Deluxe", but now I can only find <game>?
In the early days of PopCap.com, we started out with only free online versions of our games. Then, when we first put up a full, downloadable version of a game for sale, we wanted to name it clearly, so everyone would know it was still the same game, but a bigger, better version of it!
Eventually, though, it seemed like the distinction was clear, and having this extra word in all of our titles didn't have as much of a purpose. So we just dropped it from new game titles. And then, for clarity and esthetics, we dropped it from all game titles. But don't worry, the games themselves are still the exact same "deluxe" versions they always were; they're just now referred to only as the "download" versions.
I bought Diamond Mine or Bespelled years ago.
Diamond Mine was the original title for the game Bejeweled. Bespelled was once an alternate title for Bookworm. Click here for instructions on locating old orders.
What about those multi-player online games like Piggy Poker and Psychobabble?
Unfortunately, we had to remove those from the site in August 2006. We were unable to monitor the live interactions closely enough to maintain a safe, family-friendly gaming environment for all visitors. We haven't forgotten these beloved games, and we do hope to find a way to bring them back in some form!
I know there used to be more titles on the Online Games page...
You're right; we regret that some of the free online games had to be removed due to updates in technology that made them incompatible with newer browsers.
But hey, some games have disappeared from the Download Games page too!
Unfortunately, as new Operating Systems have been released, some of our older games were just not found to work properly on the new systems. We removed the games from the site rather than cause greater confusion and frustration.
I have further questions about a game you haven't listed.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

"I'm absolutely certain the Russians are as preoccupied as I am, as Americans are, by the bad situation that exists in Syria and its continuing deterioration, and I'm absolutely certain they would like to contribute to its solution," he said.
He cited the "absolute necessity" for pushing for a peaceful solution.
"It is the wider international community," he said, particularly Security Council members, who "can really create the opening that is necessary to start effectively solving the problem."
Securing chemical weapons
The escalating conflict and the president's efforts to retain his grip on power have sparked a push to ensure that chemical weapons are secure.
U.S. officials say they are working with nations in the Middle East to secure Syria's chemical and biological weapons sites.
"We're not talking about ground troops, but it depends on what ... happens in a transition," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday.
Asked whether he had ruled out putting U.S. troops in Syria to secure such weapons, Panetta said: "You always have to keep the possibility that, if there is a peaceful transition and international organizations get involved, that they might ask for assistance in that situation. But in a hostile situation, we're not planning to ask for that."
Russian navy holding exercises off Syria's coast
Ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are heading to the eastern Mediterranean for exercises, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
A tactical group of Black Sea Fleet warships, headed by the cruiser Moskva, will undertake exercises in the eastern sector of the Mediterranean Sea. The tanker Ivan Bubnov has fueled the ships, and emergency drills have been carried out for the upcoming exercises. The tanker filled up on fuel and water Thursday at the Cyprus port of Larnaka.
A Baltic Fleet group consisting of the patrol vessel Yaroslav Mudry and tanker Lena will head for the eastern Mediterranean, where the two ships will practice stores transfers at sea. The patrol vessel will carry out anti-submarine warfare drills.
Russia has a maintenance naval base at Tartus on the coast.
No let-up in refugee flight
The United Nations said Friday that more than 612,000 people have been registered as Syrian refugees or are "being assisted as such."
There were 194,769 in Lebanon, 176,569 in Jordan, 153,163 in Turkey, 69,282 in Iraq, 13,292 in Egypt and 5,059 elsewhere in North Africa, the U.N. refugee agency said.
"Even with the winter preparation work that has been done in recent months, many refugees in both camp and noncamp situations are facing particularly cold and damp conditions. At the same time, there has been no let-up in the numbers of people fleeing Syria into neighboring countries," the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said.
Mia Farrow to meet refugees
Actress and UNICEF goodwill ambassador Mia Farrow will visit Lebanon next week to meet with Syrian refugees, the organization said Friday.
"As part of her mission she will appeal for additional international assistance as the needs and numbers of those fleeing Syria continue to rise," UNICEF said.

Best TV Under $1200 of 2013
2 August 2013 by Shifali Rao
The best flat panel tvs under $1200 are some of the better and pricier LCD TV alternatives (around 40 inch screen size) on offer by brands such as Samsung. Samsung tends to be on the pricier side, and you can typically have almost similar quality LCD hdtvs by cheaper brands like Toshiba and Viewsonic at the sub-$1000 price point.
Sub-$1200 is also a great price point to start of with some entry level LED TVs though if you go slightly higher to around $1500 you can lay your hands on some of the best LED TVs in the market today.

In Florida, "Santa Claus" was getting ready for the upcoming Christmas work rush and brushing up on his rappelling technique at a local shopping mall. But the exercise didn't go exactly as planned. Instead, this poor "Santa" got his beard caught in the descender. We still don't know if he ever made it down..

Last fall, from October 26-30, 2011, more than 600 climbers gathered with our team for Petzl RocTrip China. All participants discovered and enjoyed more than 250 brand new pitches on unbelievable limestone especially prepared for the event. The long-awaited movie has now arrived.
Behind every great send, there's a great belayer. The GRIGRI 2 helps the belayer work in unison with the climber.
Macedonia, the new place to be
The long awaited first edition of the Ultra Trail race around Japan's iconic mountain is soon to start. Covering the 156 kilometers of paths with 8530 m of vertical gain is next week-end's challenge for the registered runners. This race is the first of it's kind in Asia. Over the previous years many runners from Japan participated to Ultra Trail races in Europe and America. Originally scheduled in 2011 the UTMF was cancelled because of the tsunami disaster.
Bad weather and snow conditions only allowed parts of the Patrouille des Glacier ski mountaineering race to happen. After a week of heavy snowfall a first wind storm hit the Alps in the night of Wednesday to thursday, forcing to a stop the big race, the small race was able to start and finish without any issues. In the early hours of Saturday a sudden rise in temperatures brought the avalanche danger to high level. For safety reasons the organisation stopped the long race at Arolla and stopped and called back all the racers on the short race.
The 10MILA race is one of the largest orienteering competitions in Sweden and in the world. As orienteering is a very widespread sport in Sweden, the country holds several competitions during the year, attracting orienteering clubs from all around the world. This year, the 10MILA competition takes place in Kvarn, Östergötland in the inlands of Sweden and Petzl will be there sponsoring the event and launching the new NAO headlamp.
In November 2009, four adventurers and mountain professionals travelled to the Holtanna range on Queen Maud Land in Antarctica to do the first base-jump ever done on this continent. With the release of the 15 minute long version of their movie, Sam Beaugey revisits this exceptional expedition. The group was composed of:

Yes. And then you argued with my post without reading it.
I have no reason to believe the Wayland backend of GTK cannot be broken out into a dynamically loadable library, as in Qt. That just hasn't been done yet, so at the packaging level, it can't be split up. I've opened a bug requesting it in response to the "won't fix" this article is about: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690381
I believe they're going to enable it in the 13.04 release, because libegl1-mesa already depends on libwayland0

Hedgies Like Yarn, Apparently
The stripey thing is Bruce's special flannel blanket. G tells me that Bruce was licking the yarn and very interested in trying to get in there- I had already gone to bed (see the time on the cable box?! waaaay past my bedtime), I was sorry to have missed the live show!

I love it. I used to have 2 hedgehogs a little over 5 years ago. They were into thier golden years when I got them. Their owners were moving to BC and couldn't bring them. Each one had it's own personality. Emily was my favourite. She was a sweetheart.

i agree w/ what everyone else has said thus far--too cute for words, and great name! such a cute little hedgie-pie! hmm, maybe you could take a gauge swatch, seam it up the sides, and let Bruce party down w/ it? that's what i sometimes do for my kittens, after stuffing the swatch w/ catnip. dunno if hedgies like catnip...

He is too precious! What fun to have such a sweet hedgie in your family...

1. I have quite a few instances of songs in my database which are on more than one album (especially where I have a somg on its original album, and then the same song on a compilation album) - I felt that the play count should only be updated on the album which was actually played.
2. I wanted the date last played to be a bit more accurate
3. I came to this quite late. I have had an ipod for years, and have my playcounts saved up from that - I felt that scrobbles from last.fm should add to that, not replace it.

Horseback riding tours
Rides in USA
Intro to USA
Over 210 lbs
Riding Clinics Guest Ranches Working Ranches Cattle Drives Horse Drives Wagon Trains Wilderness Rides Pack Trips Inn to Inn Rides Short Getaways Family Vacations Women Only - Choose Continent - South America Central America Europe Africa Northern Africa North America Eastern Africa Southern Africa Middle East Asia
During August, spend five exhilarating days wandering through one of the most beautiful places on earth − Yosemite National Park, America's first and foremost National Park. These trips explore the uncrowded back-country along the John Muir Trail. The John Muir Trail starts at Mount Whitney, through King's Canyon, Sequoia Park and finally through the Ansel Adam's Wilderness to Yosemite. This particular ride allows you to discover and to revel in the beauty of the Ansel Adams Wilderness, with its spectacular alpine scenery with barren granite peaks, steep-walled gorges and rock outcroppings. Starting at the pack station, you'll conquer the heights of Donohue Pass and descend into the magic splendor of Yosemite and Tuolumne Meadows. The Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite National Park is quite different from the valley and Wawona. It's the high country, with an altitude of 8,500 at it's lowest point.
In the month of July, we invite you to join us on some very special pack trips with excellent fishing for Golden Trout, on a trail itinerary that will take you through the peaceful solitude of the beautiful Ansel Adams Wilderness nearby the Yosemite National Park. We'll show you the best fishing spots, best riding trails and set up camp in the most picturesque places. We will treat you to delicious mountain gourmet food around the campfire, tales of the trails and an unforgettable holiday with friends and family!
Camping Ride with pack horses Suitable for riders over 210 lbs
Golden Trout Pack Trip Ride - JULY TRIPS ONLY! (camps chosen for great fishing opportunities along the way) Every pack trip is designed to give you pleasure, comfort, adventure and make the most of your vacation time. All arrangements are personalized to suit your interests and needs!
This list is only a guideline for you
For Camping trips:
Average ratings from 7 tour feedbacks (see details below)
This is a four night camping trip with overnights in 2 different camp sites, one in the Ansel Adams region and one in Yosemite (July Gold Trout trips - both camps in Ansel Adams - too much snow still in Yosemite).
All camping gear is provided (except your sleeping bags and ground mats). The owners personally attend to the details of safety and hospitality that can make the difference between a mediocre trip and one that will be remembered for a long time. A full camp is set up each evening with latrines and tents and a back country kitchen for good old fashioned cooking. The riding group often helps out with the camp chores to make for camaraderie - but this is never mandatory! Relax if you want to relax!
Meals - Delicious meals are prepared by an experienced wilderness chef for you. Breakfast is served the first day while gear is packed on the mules. The last meal furnished is lunch on the last day.

Sony: Gaming industry "will stall" if we don't support garage devs
Innovation's not dead. It's just moved out of its ritzy bump-mapped mansion into a rustic forest cottage getaway. Or something. It's smaller now, is what we're saying – but no less important. In fact, according to SCE chief Shuhei Yoshida, the gaming industry absolutely needs smaller garage developers to simply stay alive – let alone thrive.

Mastertronic hopes to appeal to wider audience with new Indie label
Mastertronic Group has launched a new label for indie titles called Great Indie Games and the first game to make the cut is World of Goo, slated for a July release.
Great Indie Games will bring independent games to retail to gain a wider audience than just through digital distribution, where most indie titles are offered.
"We are on the look out for more indie developed games, so any developers who want their game sold at retail should get in touch with us," said Mastertronic's managing director Andy Payne.
"With the many and varied PC games offerings out there, casual or otherwise, there is a place for great games that have been produced on a lower budget than normal by small development teams."
Other games are to be announced at a later date.

TIGA wants to nurture UK's Indie developers and promote education
Dr Richard Wilson, CEO of TIGA, has said that he welcomes the lessening of restrictions on Indie developers and feels small companies like this need to be nurtured.
The game-development trade association recently made it easier for smaller groups to join, and Wilson says each need a helping hand due to expense restraints.
"It is much more expensive and it requires many more people to develop a video game today in comparison with 20 years ago," he said. "At the same time relatively small teams can now develop flash games or games for mobiles and be very successful.
"It is crucial that we nurture small start-up businesses, which is why Tiga made the strategic decision to welcome small developers into our membership."
He also says that higher education will play a big part in the industry, and the government needs to step up to the plate in order for it to compete with global markets.
"UK higher education has an excellent record and broadly speaking we are second only to the US in terms of the quality. However we don't spend enough on higher education, the UK currently spends about 1% of GDP, whereas the US spends 2.9%.
"Unless higher education is properly funded UK game developers and businesses in general will find it hard to recruit good quality staff."

That was the news – Week 8, 2008: Unconvincing GDC governed by two main themes: flux and fear
Last week's GDC was a strange affair that threw up more questions than answers. While it carried the predicted unveiling of Gears of War 2 and a Microsoft keynote holding traditional big hitters such as Fable 2 and Ninja Gaiden II, the event's main speech's message was by no means "the norm". Yes, the blood, swords and guns were all where they were supposed to be, but at the core of John Sheppard's keynote was a theme of radical change that permeated the entire conference, and one that left both developers and platform holders alike chewing their nails.

My Favorite Birthday Gift Basket
As soon as this gift first came out, I absolutely loved it! When ever I receive a call from a customer inquiring about a birthday gift, this is the first one I direct them to. The style and color choices are just perfect. It looks very festive and you just want to get your hands on it and enjoy the gift. This gift basket contains some of my favorite items such as citrus gems, seasoned pretzels, crackers and Caviar. It also contains cheese spread, along with some gourmet seasoned popcorn and most importantly, two splits of champagne. To put a finishing touch to your gift you have an option of personalizing the ribbon for your gift with any message. See what I mean? It's the perfect birthday gift!
