2013 Destination Discovery Trips
Bald Eagle Family Float Trip - January 12, 2013
Annual Bald Eagle Family Float Trip
Saturday, January 12, 2013
Join Pacific Science Center on a Destination Discovery experience to see the largest gathering of Bald Eagles in the lower 48 states! Pacific Science Center is partnering with Alpine Adventure's Wild & Scenic River Tours to provide this incredible opportunity. Every year, approximately 500 bald eagles migrate to the Skagit River from all over the Northwest to scavenge on spawned salmon. It is nature at its most basic and magnificent! This ten-mile float includes the Bald Eagle Sanctuary and lasts about two hours. The rapids on this river section are rated Class I (moving water with small waves). Suggested minimum age is six years old.
On our float we will learn about the Skagit River, bald eagles and salmon as well as the Endangered Species Act and the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act. This section of the Skagit River is a conservation zone, managed by the North Cascades National Park, U.S. Forest Services, Skagit County Parks & Recreation, Seattle City Light, and Nature Conservancy of Washington.

Led by a team of enthusiastic Pacific Science Center instructors, there will be a variety of hands-on activities and programs throughout the weekend. This trip is sure to be an "out of this world" experience for the whole family!
The theme for the 2013 Family Astronomy Weekend is engineering. Together, we will investigate the world of invention and problem solving as it relates to space and space exploration. We will build and launch rockets, test the limits of gravity and conduct our own mission to Mars! And since 2013 is a 'solar max' year, we will also conduct several activities to learn more about the sun, sun cycles and solar power.
From our base at Brooks Memorial State Park, we have an incredible location perfect for an evening of stargazing led by Science Center staff and our special guest, Professor Andrea Dobson. In addition, we will visit the nearby Goldendale Observatory State Park to view the night sky through their 24.5 inch telescope.
- Discover the night sky like you've never seen it before. This unique area of Washington has clear, dark skies perfect for viewing constellations, planets, the Milky Way and even other galaxies!
- Special presentation by Andrea Dobson, Associate Professor of Astronomy, Whitman College.
- Recognizing that learning is fueled by the food we eat, we provide delicious and healthful meals that feature wonderful whole foods skillfully prepared by our own chef.
For reservations, please download and return this registration form (205KB PDF) or contact Leah Hausman at (206) 443-3642 or email@example.com.
Cost: $385 per adult $225 per child under 14. Cost includes two nights accommodation, all meals, activity materials, instruction and everything else that will happen this weekend.

Hey Guys,
didnt found that Info anywhere in the forum, so I post it.
There IS an 64-bit-Version of iTunes 7.6 avaible at Apple, usable for all the guys with XP/Vista x64, who can't sync their iPhone with Windows.
But there's a Trick to get it:
Your need to launch the Internet Explorer x64 (the link in the start menu), then click on the "Download iTunes now"-Icon and "Download". At me, there was "iTunes 7.5" written below the Download-Button, and under System Requirements "32-bit-Version of Windows", but then i got an "iTunes64.exe" or similar Name to download and could install it with no Problems and sync my iPhone again (iPhone is 1.1.2 oob with StealthSim).

Letters to the Editor
(Page 2 of 2)
The St. Patrick's Parade is a great day for the Irish: the sun is shining and it's a great parade. The bagpipers are marching, the fire departments are all cleaned up and participating, the Irish step dancers are performing and the crowd is in a festive mood. Then, towards the end, comes a small group holding a sign representing the Tea Party. I have heard of a block party, house party and even a Tupperware party, but Tea Party? Then it dawned on me: this is that obstructionist group with a political agenda. But it's the St. Patrick's parade. Should I have to think about this group of angry people pushing their politics when I am enjoying this fine day? It's bad enough that we have to put up with it in our political process, but not today.
I thought the parade was to be void of politics and political statements. At least I did not want to deal with it on such an event. Oh well. A pint of Guinness and this too shall pass, but wait until Monday.

Brooklyn, Drug Addiction, Drug Use, Hells Kitchen, Heroin, New York City, Sean McAlpin, Withdrawl
Sean McAlpin came to NYC with no where to go, no one to turn to, and just a backpack on his back. Since moving here in 1998, Sean has utilized his breadth of experiences to create captivating and, at times, chilling short stories and poetry about the New York experience and beyond. All these works can be found at his website.
As I read through Sean's fiction (that is inevitably inspired by reality), I was struck by a particular short, "Not Like the Movies". Spoken from the point of view of a junkie, I think the story brings to light the struggles a person suffering from any kind of addiction goes through. Often times we think of addicts as undeserving and pathetic, but we forget that they're feeling, hurting people just like us. With nearly 2,000 people dying from drug abuse a year in New York, I think it's important we understand the struggles someone with addiction goes through. And, as described by Sean's story, the struggles are only intensified in a place like NYC.
I woke to a blinding light, the sun was beating thru the filthy plexiglass window beaming into my eyes, into me, like a judge getting ready to pass sentence. Here I was again, in some Times Square fleabag hotel that was pretending to be anything but. I was sweating like a whore in church; god was I sick. Slowly I came to and looked around the room, I saw Tommy lying there on the floor and thought man what are we doing? Will this ever end? Will it ever get better? This is not what life was supposed to be, how did I get here? I was staring at Tommy as my thoughts strangled me, I was startled when I realized that he was looking back, his eyes as big as dinner plates, pupils the size of quarters. Clearly he was as sick as me. It was a fucking desert in Hells Kitchen; there was no dope to be had. We were both as sick as dogs with a pocket full of money and no dope. This was bad. I always said I'd rather have drugs with no money than money with no drugs. You can always get money somehow, but you can't always get dope.
Let me clarify for those of you (which is probably most of you) that are not from my world. Dope is heroin, not weed, or grass, or something that teenage kids play with. Dope is not any other drug than heroin, diesel, horse, smack, whatever you call it it's not in the same universe with any other benign little substance like weed. There is a popular myth being propagated at present and that myth is this: A drug is a drug and they are all the same. Man that is just outright fantasy, anyone who's actually done them can attest to that.
"So what the fuck are we going to do, Tommy?" I said. Now that was a stupid question because we both knew the answer already. The answer was the same since the very first human got the very first habit. Who was that I wonder? What the fuck was that like, to be the very first? Someone was. So the answer was the same since this proto human with the first habit asked it, we would either get dope or get dope sick. Dope sick, withdrawal, the desert of all deserts, and it had already started, we had passed desperation about a lifetime ago and we were now in frantic territory. I've seen it portrayed many times in movies, TVs, and books, but it can never be described accurately. No amount of narrative can convey the actual experience. It is yet another area where metaphor fails miserably. Kind of like when it tries to describe god, it can't and there is no other vehicle to even attempt it.
Tommy had heard about this infamous cop spot across the river, way out in Brooklyn, in east New York. Surely they had something out there, so all we had to do was take a little trip to the outer borough and score some diesel. Now I had been running with Tommy long enough that the alarm bells went off every time he came up with an idea. But right now the craving was louder than the bells. So I said fuck it and we got on the subway. That seems real simple, "got on the subway", no problem. But when you're dope sick, nothing is simple. Hell, moving isn't simple when your this sick. But we were no longer in charge; the habit was, so we went.
Starting down Eighth Avenue to the subway station at 44thst. I felt like I was embarking on a never-ending journey. I had zero energy and this was the last thing in the world I wanted to be doing, but it was the only thing in the world I could do. It was Saturday morning and the streets were crowded, New York City crowded. It felt like a nightmare navigating thru all of those 'normal' people. It seemed that all those faces in the crowd knew somehow what state Tommy and I were in and they were judging us mercilessly. I felt naked, exposed, like a cockroach when the lights are flipped on. A bullet in the head would be a real nice break right about now. And the smells, oh god, the smells. A myriad of odors from the smell of the dirty streets that I always hated to the smells of food vendors that I usually loved. Today I couldn't stand it, every vapor hit me, jabbed me like a right cross, I wanted to puke. And it was summer so every aroma was magnified a million times. I don't know if all big cities are like this or if it's isolated to NYC, but there is an extremely strange, no an extremely annoying phenomenon in this city, you can be walking along and right out of nowhere hit some random block and immediately the entire world smells like ass, or decaying bodies, or death. Yes, annoying to say the least. And when dope sick, more than annoying. Well, we finally got down to the A train and I sat there like the sick junkie I was. You've probably seen them if you've ever ridden the New York subway. Not the ones you see almost falling but never quite completing the act, swaying like a weeble wobble. No, not them, they're the ones who just got high and are feeling no pain. I'm talking about the junkies that look like walking zombies, eyes bulging, sweating, holding their guts in pain. We were those junkies, just to be clear.
The train took forever. Every turn, every bump, I thought I would shit, piss, and vomit all at once. When we arrived I could feel the hope coming in. That overwhelming hope that I wouldn't be sick for much longer mixed with the devastating fear of believing this suffering might actually end in my lifetime. Afraid to hope. You might think hope is a good thing, but for some reason when you're dope sick and the hope comes in the sickness multiplies. It's like when you really have to piss and your holding it. It becomes much harder to hold as you get closer to the toilet. Then I could feel it; the cottonmouth that made me know that hurling was a sure thing now. I raced to the top of the steps at the station and let it rip. I was too sick to be embarrassed anymore. I've witnessed that scene from the other side. When I was 'normal' I'd see a junkie get sick like that and feel nothing but contempt. How could someone let themselves go like that? How pathetic, what a loser. Now, on this side of things, all those opinions meant nothing. They meant nothing before when I was having them only now I knew they meant nothing. It wasn't always like this. See that's a joke. Of course it wasn't always like this, anyone who's fallen knows that. And everyone has fallen, some just further than others. I regained what little composure I could muster and got on with the task at hand.
In the midst of all this madness Tommy had another brilliant idea. Since we had a good bit of money lets try to score big and go back to Hells Kitchen and sell it. We would have no trouble moving the stuff with the kitchen being so bare. So here we were, a couple of junkies from Hells Kitchen in east New York feeling entrepreneurial. We got to the cop spot and saw some Dominicans standing on the corner. We knew they had dope but we were white boys from another neighborhood, we'd have a better chance of getting shot than of copping. The only thing that kept us somewhat safe was that two white boys like us would be mistaken for cops. Not good for scoring but good for staying alive…sometimes. Well, we approached them and they acted like we were from mars or anywhere else more than two blocks from here. We must have approached ten dealers before one would finally talk to us. Tommy starting in about how we were looking to score big and had enough money to make it worth his while. Good going Tommy, tell a Dominican drug dealer that the two white boys far away from their home neighborhood have a lot of money. The dealer said he had a few bags for now that we could try but he would have to go and re-up if we wanted to score any weight. We were in no state to think long term, so we took the bags he had and wanted to fix up right away and then we could discuss further plans. But not knowing the neighborhood we didn't know where to go to get off. That's when the Dominican brother made the best offer either of us had heard all day. "Come on, I know where you can fix", he said. So we followed him. He started down the stairs to some basement boiler room in the projects. Tommy was bug eyed and happy to be going anywhere. But not me, even my desperation for a shot couldn't override the alarm bells I was having now. I knew something wasn't right. "Come on Tommy, fuck this, let's get outta here", I pleaded. "Naw man its cool, this guys ok", he said. Now we just met this guy about a hot two seconds earlier so there's no way we knew if he was "cool" or not but there was no talking Tommy out of it. So instead of letting him go down by himself I figured it's better if there are two of us. We followed the guy into the basement. He took us to a boiler room. A dark, damp, musty smelling room with one light bulb hanging there in the center over the boiler. A boiler room with one light….in the projects…in east New York, Brooklyn….man this was not good. There was a wall faucet and a bucket and that's all we needed. Tommy and I got to work fixing up while the Dominican "stood watch" at the door. I hit my arm and right away I was in a different world. The physical pain, the psychic pain, the anguish, the fear and hopelessness that I had woken up with this morning vanished. Like the bright unrelenting sun being in your eyes blinding you and then a big storm cloud moves in and gives you a reprieve. The pain was gone in an instant. Man did I feel good. Fuck, why would I ever want to stop doing this, nothing, I mean nothing, could touch this feeling. That's one of the craziest things about dope, you can go from feeling so sick, so miserable, even to the point that you have to have a shot but you don't want it, like you are somehow in touch with how awful this shit can make your life. And then BAM, one shot and your entire world view does a 180, man why would I ever even think about not using this stuff for the rest of my life, it's fucking awesome.
That's when I heard, "all right motherfuckers don't move". I looked up and coming thru the door were two big black dudes, obviously friends of the Dominican. Tommy was between the door and me so he was grabbed first. I was far enough away that as the second guy lunged at me with a knife I sidestepped him. The blade caught my arm and I felt a burning like a hot iron was just laid on my bicep. Now I was in adrenaline autopilot. I ran around the boiler to get away. We were at a standoff. One guy had Tommy by the collar with a knife to his throat and the other one was on the opposite side of the boiler waiting for me to make a move so he could cut me off. And the Dominican was still 'standing watch' at the door. Tommy immediately started in on the guy holding him, "Do you know who your fuckin with? My brother is connected motherfucker, I swear to god you fucking do anything stupid and you're all dead". The funny thing is that Tommy was right. His brother really was connected and although he wasn't happy with Tommy's lifestyle if somebody hurt his kid brother he would have found these thugs and killed them. But none of that meant anything right now because these guys didn't give a fuck who we were and they had us pinned.
Ever since I was a kid I have thought about this moment countless times. Not this exact moment, but the generic moment when you think, wow, I would fuck someone up if they did that to me. All the movies I saw that fed my little fairy tale, all the cool scenes where a real bad mother fucker somehow pulls it off and kicks everybody's ass. Those movie heroes, the delusional self-hero in my head, all meant nothing now. None of it mattered. The one dude had a knife to my friend's throat; the other one had a knife pulled on me. So I did the only thing I could think to do, talk. The one thing that all the bad-asses in the movies never do. They say things like, "the talkins over man, your mine now" or some other really cool sounding line. Well, not me, I talked away, like a fucking chatterbox. "Whoa, wait a fuckin minute man, what do you want? You don't have to do nothing stupid here, just relax and we'll give you whatever you want", I said. "Your money bitch, hand it over", he replied. Then Tommy piped in, "fuck you we aint got no money". The one brother threw him on the ground and kicked him in the ribs. I mean we were junkies, not in the best of shape and very skinny. So we were in no position to even consider giving an ass kicking. I said, "Easy man, Tommy shut the fuck up. Ok, Ok, I'll give you the money but just take it and go. We aren't from here and nobodies gonna listen to a couple of junkies anyway". That's when I saw the dude's whole attitude change and I realized they had planned on killing us but saw there was an alternative to that now. At first they were gonna take our money and kill us so we couldn't finger them. But he knew I was right. He knew we wouldn't tell anyone about this. So I pulled out the money I had stashed in my left sock (the right sock is where I had my real stash) and handed it over the boiler to the guy that had me pinned. He looked at me, didn't say a word, the other one kicked Tommy in the ribs again and they left, all of them, the Dominican too. Talking saved my life, very antithetical to the movie logic. I think we would both be dead if we fought back, or didn't explain that they didn't need to kill us because we had no credibility. Once they were out the door, Tommy and I bolted for the subway and all I could think was thank god they didn't take our dope. After all that adrenaline rush we needed another hit. So we ducked into a diner by the subway and went in the bathroom. We didn't get on the train and high tail it outta there. We stopped and shot dope before we left, that goes without saying. That's one concept the movies get right.
The following Saturday found Tommy, his brother Tony and his crew, and myself driving around east New York looking for the trio that robbed us. Tommy had opened his big mouth and told his connected mafia brother what happened. And then what happened was no longer up to me and Tommy, but up to Tony and his crew. Tony and his friends had pipes, guns, and blackjacks. Tony kept saying "is that them, is that them?" Hell, I wasn't sure I could even remember what they looked like. Then we saw two brothers and a Dominican standing on the corner. "There they are", Tommy yelled. Tony pulled up and in jig time Tony and his three friends jumped out and threw a beatin' on them. Those guys didn't know what hit them. Tony was bashing in the Dominicans head in with a pipe and his friends were kicking and hitting the two brothers who were on the ground by now. And once again, all the times I saw the revenge scenes at the movies and imagined how cool it would make me feel, well it didn't. I felt sick to my stomach. Hearing bones crush while the victim is screaming for mercy made me want to hurl. Hell, I wasn't even sure if these were the same guys, they probably were but who knows. I felt like shit, I needed another hit, but I knew we couldn't fix up until Tommy's brother and crew were gone. The three wanna be thugs were lying in the street with bones sticking out and twisted in ways that only worked in cartoons and I was just craving to be anywhere but where I was. I just wanted to be back in Hells Kitchen, home where I felt safe. I wanted to lie up on my couch, do a hit, and watch a cool action flick. After all isn't that why we watch movies? For an escape. Because real life is not like the movies.

Our Sinclair/Wilson Hand Die Kit is the best buy for the money if you begin reloading with hand dies. This ultra-compact reloading set-up enables the user to reload for extreme accuracy as well as being mobile for competition use or load development at the range. The Sinclair/Wilson Hand Die Kit 749-007-865 includes: a Wilson Neck Die w/choice of Wilson Neck Bushing, Wilson Straight Line Bullet Seater, Sinclair Micrometer Seater Top, Sinclair Arbor Press and Sinclair Arbor Press Base. The Sinclair/Wilson Hand Die Kit 749-007-865 saves you $28.87 over purchasing each of the items separately.
Please be aware that the 749-007-865 pricing is for the Sinclair Arbor Press, Arbor Press Base, and Sinclair Micrometer Seater Top only, with the discount applied. To complete your kit, you will need to "Add to Cart" the Wilson Neck Die, Wilson Straight Line Bullet Seater, and Wilson Neck Bushing of your choice. Kit cost will total $269.99 when complete.
The appropriate bushing size for your Wilson Neck Die may be easily determined by measuring the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge with a precision micrometer of dial caliper. Or, you'll need to determine the wall thickness of your brass and add this with the bullet width to achieve an estimated loaded round diameter. For example: (.011" wall thickness) + (.011" wall thickness) + (.224" bullet diameter) = .246" loaded round. Once a loaded round diameter is established, simply subtract .002" to .003" from this figure for your bushing selection (a .244" or .245" bushing when using the example above). This diameter bushing will generally size case necks just enough to create the proper press fit for the bullet. As always, if you have additional questions, don't hesitate to call and speak with any of our certified reloading technicians at 800-717-8211.

First, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Let's dig into "Between The Lines" once again for Week 12 gems that could spill over into Week 13. It is time to get down to business.
Forward March….
Alex Burrows-Henrik Sedin-Daniel Sedin (Vancouver) – The top line of Week 12 is one that was very familiar for parts of the last two years. When each player on the line has at least four points each, one knows it was a very good week. Alex Burrows has a tendency to wind up on this line with Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin. This trio tends to come up big in big situations, so playing San Jose, Minnesota, and Boston is a stage they should thrive upon. A player like Burrows is still out there in some leagues.
Steve Downie-Marty St. Louis-Steven Stamkos (Tampa Bay) – It's reunion week as Steve Downie was back with Stamkos and St. Louis. He easily had his best week of the season with seven points. This is a case of a little confidence does the world good. The duo of St. Louis and Stamkos had six points each, including a Stamkos hat trick in last night's 5-2 win over Carolina. This trio plays Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal this week and those teams are below average defensively.
Ryan Callahan-Carl Hagelin-Brad Richards (NY Rangers) – There were times where people openly wondered a bit about the Brad Richards signing but not no more as his line totaled 10 points in Week 12. At 29.4% frequency with EV situations, this is the top trio used 5 on 5. Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin both had four points each and Week 13 could be very good as well. With Richards creating space, he is distributing well which is key for a complement to the Rangers' GAS Line.
Nicklas Backstrom-Alex Ovechkin-Alex Semin (Washington) – Here we go again - déjà vu. Finally Alex Ovechkin has woken up with four goals in his last two games, most of that time spent with his old partners in crime. Nicklas Backstrom is the pivot that sets it up and Alex Semin, when he is on, is speeding up the ice creating space for Ovechkin. The Right Winger had seven points with Backstrom and Semin tallying five points each. Washington has to let this line run and gun to be effective in 5 on 5 and PP situations. Expect more of the same in Week 13.
Cal Clutterbuck-Dany Heatley-Mikko Koivu (Minnesota) – Please keep an eye on this line for Week 13. Granted, they only totaled seven points on the week. However, there is something about this line with Cal Clutterbuck creating space for Dany Heatley and Mikko Koivu. That physical play along with the fact that Clutterbuck does have good hands makes this an intriguing line going forward. This is a time to act and not react.
Lead Us Defenders……
Kevin Bieksa-Alex Edler (Vancouver) – It comes down to how Kevin Bieksa has managed to get it together in the last few weeks. His five points this week was icing on the cake for many Fantasy GM's. Bieksa and Alex Edler tend to be a defensive pairing not only on the PP1 unit but the first line as well. People forgot that Edler had four points also. That is nine points for the duo and five while playing together. Expect these two to be paired more and more often during Week 13 and beyond.
Kurtis Foster-Anton Volchenkov (New Jersey) – This seems like an odd couple type of pairing but they did have four points last week with Volchenkov netting three of those points. A Week 13 schedule that features four games might be beneficial to the pairing which some consider to be New Jersey's most offensive pairing. This is a pairing to keep an eye on, especially with Foster going forward with power play points being at a premium in so many fantasy leagues.
Stefan Elliott-Kyle Quincey (Colorado) – For some reason this pairing is one that could log some bigger ice time in weeks ahead as Colorado's defensive corps undergoes a bit of a transition. Both players had two points each while playing together and more point opportunities could be on the horizon. They have been a bit of a work in progress fantasy wise but in coming weeks, expect more of these three and four point outputs which is solid for fantasy teams. They almost always play together and are available in a majority of leagues (at least 90% availability).
As always, you can follow me on Twitter @TheProgramBTR and fire away your questions. Thanks again and good luck this week.

Average Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Experian Marketing Services Cross-Channel Marketing.
Interview Details Phone Interview with HR/Recruiter, then an in person interview with about 3-4 teams (2 interviews per team) about a week later (before the interviews had to take a written test which consisted of a combination of basic HTML questions and database logic questions)
Interview Question – On the written test: write a query using the data set (e.g. where city is New York or LA and gender is female) View Answer
Negotiation Details – HR called with an offer, I counter negotiated, HR said they would call me back. About a day later, same HR person called to bump up offer (although not as high as my counter offer).

I applied in-person and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Experian Marketing Services Cross-Channel Marketing in October 2012.

Interview Question – None of the questions were terribly difficult. If you can speak intelligently about Email, you're in. Answer Question

Very Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took a day - interviewed at Experian Marketing Services Cross-Channel Marketing.
Interview Details Got an interview through a recruiter I met at a career fair in NYC. I had an interview with 4 individuals. One project manager, one team manager, one senior manager, & one developer. Hardly any technical questions. I think that they were supposed to give me a technical written test, but it was forgotten. I almost didn't accept the job because the interview process was so poor. The recruiter was also very pushy & it was clear he was only interested in his commission rather than in my best interests.
Interview Question – Questions about my future career plans. Not a big deal. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I negotiated a $5k salary increase, but this was still far below market value. I accepted because I thought the corporate culture would match my personality, which it did/does. The recruiter told me that with my skills, I should be earning $85-95k per year. This job offered me $75k. I was only able to negotiate up to $80k, the reason being that my salary should be on par with other members of the team.

Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Experian Marketing Services Cross-Channel Marketing in August 2012.
Interview Details Call from Recruiter. Call from CheetahMail. Setup interview to go in. Was required to do a test in SQL and HTML (check other reviewers for exact questions). Got there at 10am. Took test in lobby while other people chatted and some guys who worked their jerked around. Was left in lobby area till 12pm. Then brought in for interview. Met with 7 people over 3.5 hour period. Left feeling confident. Was called the next day and let know I didn't get the job.
Although everyone was pleasant and nice enough, the interview was exhausting after awhile as the multiple teams asked the same questions ove and over, typical interview questions. Felt like I was getting picked for a recess kickball team, as Team 1 had 3 people that interviewed me and Team 2 had 4 people that interviewed me, 1 by 1, never in any particular order.
1 Employee who interviewed me had worked their for no more then 3 weeks. She was younger then me and seem more inexperienced then me.
Overall, kinda a waste of time on my part, and really crazy for them to take 7 employees and do this to them for a candidate they thought was not qualified or whatever. If I wasn't an acceptable candidate why the cycle of interviews?
Interview Question – The most difficult questions are the SQL test questions, which are not hard, but take some concentration, and are hard to figure out when there is so much activity around you. You can probably cheat though as no one is watching you. Answer Question

Interview Details Longer than average interview process but will be done in 2-3 rounds at most. Allocate at least 2-3 hours per interview session.
You will meet a lot of people in the team you will be working in and be interviewed by your peers as well as managers and senior leadership.
Casual interview, don't always ask typical boring interview questions. I enjoyed meeting everyone during my interview process.
You will complete a basic HTML and Segmentation logic test (simpler than writting SQL queries). If you have logic, this will be a no brainer.

Interview Details I was contacted by phone by a Hiring Manager and she conducted a phone interview. Shortly after I was contacted by email to set up and in-person 3 hour interview. At the interview I took and HTML & Data Query test which was not hard at all. I also interviewed with 6 different people who were pleasant and asked general questions about my experience and where do I see myself in 5 years. I was a little hesitant about the interview process because there are a lot of steps but in the end deft worth it.

Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Experian Marketing Services Cross-Channel Marketing in August 2012.
Interview Details I received an email from the HR recruiter and later had a screening call with her. She told me she was going to have someone contact me to set up on site interviews. A couple days later I got an email with the interview schedule. The schedule had 4 half hour interviews and a 1.5 hr test. I arrived early and waited in the lobby. I then meet with the first 4 people. Questions asked:
Tell me about yourself.
Why Cheetahmail?
Why did you leave your last job?
What would you do if you could do anything?
Tell about your strengthens and weaknesses?
Tell me about a project you managed.
How do you stay organized?
What do you do if you've made a mistake?
Then they talked a lot of Cheetahmail, what kind of culture it is, etc. After the first 4 people I was surprised to speak with 2 more people. Finally I took the test.
Test was 2 parts, HTML and logic test. It is not a straight forward SQL test, but knowing SQL helps. HTML questions were about tables, formatting (bold, underline, italic, color), hyperlinks, image links, inputs. The logic test also asked about data normalization. They gave 3 sets of data and asked what observations do you make. You dont actually have to normalize it, but make comments of the inconsistencies and what you would change.
The day after my interview the HR person called and asked how I felt the interview went and if I was interviewing with anyone else. A few hours later a got another call extending the offer.

Difficult Interview
I interviewed at Experian Marketing Services Cross-Channel Marketing in July 2012.
Interview Details The interview process was a mess. They emailed me a schedule, then emailed again a day before the interview to change the time. On the day of the interview, they switched the schedule and interviewers around on me and also switched me in and out of different meeting rooms on different floors.
I met with 6 people in total. The first 2 were unprofessional and rude. They acted like they were recently out of college and this was their first job. They made completely erroneous assumptions about me and told me my personality was not a good fit based on these erroneous assumptions. At that point, I was wondering if I should just call it quits since it did not seem like a place I wanted to work at. Fortunately, the following interviews were more professional--conducted by people who had actual professional experience.
After the interviews, I took the HTML and query logic tests. They left me in the reception area, where it was difficult to concentrate because of the chatter--there were 3 people eating and preparing something or other. They all left for the day shortly before I finished. I sat around for 10-15 minutes until I could flag down a random employee who was entering. She was nice enough to grab an HR person so that I could submit my tests.
The tests themselves were pretty easy. The query logic test would have been easier if it had been a straight SQL test. Their fake language could have been designed better.
Interview Question – Describe a time when you had to get someone to complete a task they didn't want to. How did you accomplish this? View Answer

Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Experian Marketing Services Cross-Channel Marketing in March 2012.
Interview Details After applying online, I was contacted by their recruiter on a Monday and was asked basic questions on my background and goals. That Wednesday, I went in for an in-person interview where I took 2 paper-and-pen tests, 1 on HTML and 1 on database logic. I then met 1:1 with 5 different people at different levels and were asked typical interview questions such as strengths/weaknesses, background, and experience. They were all very friendly and seemed to be really looking for if you're good at multitasking, have strong organization skills, and have dealt with customers/people before. Later that Friday, I had a phone interview with the Director of the department and afterwards HR made their offer. Seemed really quick! BTW, they take their background check/drug test very seriously and have rejected people if they failed either of these.

Top Americans on World A-T Lists
As I've told you many times, I have my own T&F Record Book.
In it, the major section is what I call DDD, or Double Dandy Dozen, which are the Top 24 (More if there're ties at the bottom!) Performers for each event.
I have separate DDD's for HS, Collegiate, USA, and the World.
In looking at the World and USA lists, I see there are some events where NO man or NO woman from the USA makes the World Top 24.
Here's a rundown of where the top Americans are on the World Top 24's.
Not all events are included.
These are up-to-date, as much as I could determine.
I'll have to do this in multiple posts.
Men (Outdoor)
100-------Gay (2nd), Carter (5th), Greene & Gatlin (6th-tie), Rodgers & Burrell (11th, tie), Lewis (14th), Crawford, Bailey, Dix (22nd, ties)
200-------Johnson (3rd), Dix (4th), Gay (5th), Carter (6th), Spearmon (7th), Marsh (10th), Lewis & DeLoach (11th, tie), Crawford (14th), Smith (18th), Capel (20th), Greene, I Young, Gatlin (23rd, ties)
400--------Johnson (1st), Reynolds (2nd), Wariner (3rd), Watts (4th), Merritt (5th), D Everett (6th), Evans (7th), S Lewis (8th), L James (10th), Taylor (11th), A Harrison & J Young (13th, tie), Mills (15th), Maybank (17th), O Harris (18th), Pettigrew (22nd), Collett (24th)

1000------Wohlhuter (7th)
1500------Lagat (See Note below.), Maree (19th),
1 mile----Webb (8th), Lagat (See Note below.), Scott (12th),
NOTE: Before I go on to the other events, a note about Bernard Lagat. He became an American in 2005. His times in the 1500 and 1 mile that would rank highest on the World list come from his Kenyan past. Since my DDD's are listed by fastest performers, their fastest mark must prevail, and be the ONLY mark listed. As such, Lagat's American marks do NOT make my World Top 24, since his Kenyan marks are faster!
3000------Lagat (24th)
2 mile----Tegenkamp (5th), Webb (10th), Kennedy (11th), Ritzenhein (14th), Lagat (16th), Goucher (17th), M Davis (18th),

Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
Conclusions......all of which, I'm sure, are already known to most of you, and/or pretty easy to figure out or assume.
Men (Outdoor)
The USA is VERY strong in the 100, 200, and 400.
Our middle distances are VERY weak, even in the mile, where we were once dominant.
The distances are even worse, while both hurdles are excellent!
In the field events, we're best in the LJ and SP.
We're weakest in the JT and HT, with the rest in the mid-ranges.
Men (Indoor)
Again, we're strongest in the 3 flat sprints and the hurdles.
From the 800 to the 5K, we're best in the "American" events, the 1 and 2 mile, but even there, we're not at all dominant.
In field events, we dominate the WT, which is rarely held outside our borders, and are strong in the LJ and SP.
We're okay, but could be better, in the HJ, PV, and TJ.
Women (outdoor)
Our women are excellent in the 100 and 200.....but why not also the 400??
Except for the USA-centric 2 mile, our women are really bad from 800 to the marathon.
We're excellent in the 100H, and good in the long hurdles.
We have 4 women in the PV, but 3 to zero in the rest of the field/multi events!
Women (Indoor)
Same as outdoors, we dominate the lists for the 60 and 200, but are infrequent visitors on the 400 list!
We''re also pretty good in the 60H, though nowhere near as strong as on the 100H list outdoors!!
The 800 to the 5K are not good, except, again, for the "American" 2 mile.
We completely rule the WT, with the PV and LJ getting 4, the HJ 3, with the TJ and SP being shutouts for the "other side"!!
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
Hello Aaronk.
First,as much as I maliciously enjoy needling you about Mary Cain (because you never fail to bite), I enjoy your posts because of the great repository of the data and information you share with all of us.
Second, thanks for this info. I enjoyed reading it and recognising some of the athletes I had the privilege of knowing and competing with.
Third, perhaps the US is not quite as strong as you think in the men's 100
You might want to reconsider Nesta Carter's wearing of the Stars and Stripes.
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
Given the relative success of male throwers there is no genetic biological reason for not having good female throwers. So what is the reason. I think there are two reasons.
Probably the main reason is that while men who are huge and powerful are in the USA generally admired and/or encouraged it is the exact opposite for females.
The second reason is that there was not a USA Government sponsored (forced sponsorship) that identified genetically large females and enrolled them into a mandatory feeding programme.
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
You're right about Nesta Carter.
While typing, I was going mostly by my World list, extrapoling American names off of that, rather than going back and forth between the World and USA lists.
My error!!
Also, I MIGHT have been thinking of XAVIAR Carter, who is on the 200 list!! He's NOT on the USA (or World) 100 list!! (Top 24!)
In my record book, which is entirely handwritten, I use mostly just LAST names (to speed things up!)....sometimes with a first name initial......so that's another reason I mistook Xaviar for Nesta.....or vice versa!!
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
"our women are really bad from 800 to the marathon."
Well, maybe now there is someone who can change that! I'm sure I don't need to name her
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
"NOTE: I include ALL Chinese marks on my World lists!"
I was curious about this so I compared TF&N's AT lists with IAAF's. The first does NOT include the 1993 and 1997 marks by Chinese athletes (just looking at 1,500 for now) but the latter does. I'd be interested to know your rationale for including them, since they obviously are huge outliers.
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
Really interesting stuff; thanks for posting it. How long have you been keeping this? Would be fun to compare the current list to those from other decades.
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
My Record Book was (and is) compiled from marks gathered from various sources:
Athletics Annuals
FAST Annuals
HS Track editions
various other sources
All the above....EXCEPT T&FN......includes the 1993-97 Chinese marks on their A-T lists, and as WR's, where they prevail.
Same for Flojo's 10.49.
Despite strong doubts about that mark, FAST and AA have that as the WR.
Unless and until the Chinese marks and Flojo's 10.49 are deemed by ALL sources as ILLEGAL (for whatever reason!!), I will include them on my lists too......however reluctantly!!
BTW, you could say the same for all or most of the Eastern European throws marks (SP, DT, HT) from the 80's!!
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
I started my T&F Record Book in the 60's.
But during my hippie years, I lost it!
So, about 1973, I started the whole thing over again...from scratch.....doing all the meticulous research....going through EVERY results agate and list in EVERY issue of T&FN....and that was just for starters!!
In the beginning (in the 70's, I mean), I had even MORE records than I do now.
I used to have (but have since eliminated) records for best HS marks, by state!!
In other words, best mile for a North Dakota or Alabama boy or girl, etc etc.
Also had collegiate bests....by individual college....such as best marks by a UCLA or LSU athlete.
Also used to have road lists, other than the marathon.
But it was just too much work, so I trimmed it down a bit.
Yet my book is STILL over 500 pages!!!
As for comparing marks by decade, that IS possible!!
See Roberto Quercetani's book, Athletics: A History of Modern Track and Field Athletics (1860-2000).
It has a GREAT appendix of marks and lists, including the best marks BY DECADE!!
EXCELLENT book, well-written, as complete as can be, and covers ALL events, men and women, up through 2000!!
(Buy it through Amazon for the cheapest prices!!)
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
Where does Rock's 44.35 for Silver in Helsinki place him?
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
My book has just the top 24 performers per event.
However, I checked my 2013 Athletics Annual, and found Andrew Rock's PR of 44.35 at # 36......as of the end of 2012!!
That's on the World list.
On my USA list, #24 is a tie at 44.34.
So I'm assuming that Rock's PR would place him # 26 on the A-T USA list!!
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
What's the significance of the number 24?
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
When I first started my book, in the 60's...and maybe even when I re-started it in the mid-70's, I had my lists at Top 25.
Not sure (Can't remember!), but maybe I just felt that EVERYBODY had Top 25 lists, so I wanted to be different.
Then I came up with a NAME for my lists....Double Dandy Dozen (DDD)....and that was that!!
But, as I said, sometimes the list goes longer than 24 because of ties.
ADD: It could also be because my favorite baseball player was/is Willie Mays, who wore # 24.
And my birthday is June 24th!
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
Wouldn't it make more sense to try to do better than everybody and do a top 26 list?
Re: Top Americans on World A-T Lists
To the list of sources for aaronk compilations, consider including this website:
I've been providing data to that site for just one event (Women's Steeplechase) since the 1990s and am awed by how much listmeister Peter Larsson displays overall -- and quickly.

uhh the UK is part of europe.
America said:England is not part of Europe. England tolerates Europe the same way a person tolerates herpes. That additude must've rubbed off on Weezer...or maybe they just don't tour much outside of N America in general (ask australia) and its nothing personal...but the first one's probably it
Insults? Where? First: I wrote here because this is the Weezer's page (i think) or maybe i'm mistaken.
I've ONLY talked about what you said that was "sense of humour" making "jokes" like "England isn't Europe", and yes, I said that's a stupid thing and that anyone who says that the only thing that's doing is seem idiot.
Well, if you think that's an insult...
Maybe i didn't understand a joke (although there are people who really think that soccer is the "correct" name, so that's the "problem"), but you don't understand nothing about what I said.
Es lo que dije, que si escribía en español veríamos cómo se os daba. Veo que mal. Así que relájate, chavalote.
@Daniella I understand all those things about family and everything you said, but in the last ten years... They could'nt have toured at least once in Europe and Australia?
im not sure how to respond to this...

im sorry for the words, but its the truth... normally it shouldnt be necessary to post something like this. normally a band would tour the world and not only their homebase... i really dont know whats their problem - their concert in 2005 in austria was phenomenal but they wont come back :/....(frequency 2005 - their is a bootleg within the project weezer)
oh yeah, and you guys would be pleased with it if the would play 3 concerts in the us within the next 5 years. lets say phoenix, denver and chicago...that would be all for 5 years... it would be fun, wouldnt it?
Wow. We just got done talking about how you didn't understand one joke, and here you are, not understanding another joke and getting all serious.
Do us all a favor, stop responding to people until your English gets better.

Yes. I'm taking it soooo serious. And I love your humour. Really! I don't know why you're not on Paramount Comedy. You're better than Seinfeld! THAT'S WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND!
Really, you're trying to be funny? 'Cause you're not. (Maybe you just don't realized of that)
Well, keep trying.
Well, which is it? You want I should freeze, or you want I should put my hands up?
Well, keep trying.
Just stop responding.
