The Edgar® Awards – Guidelines and Entry Forms
2017 Edgar Allan Poe Awards Entry Forms (for works published in 2016)
Please read category information for complete information.
Entry Procedure and Forms
With the exception of the Robert L. Fish and Mary Higgins Clark awards, a work can be submitted to only one Edgar® committee. It is the responsibility of the publisher or producer to submit works to the appropriate committee. One copy of each eligible work must be sent to each member of the proper committee along with a copy of the submission form. In addition, only the submission form is sent to the MWA National Office. Contact the MWA National Headquarters for a list of the judges' names and addresses. Do NOT include reviews or other promotional materials along with your entry. Do NOT contact the judges regarding this or any other submission (beyond sending the books). Contacting the judges directly might make this submission ineligible for consideration. Send the entry form (links to online forms below) to: MWA National Office 1140 Broadway, Suite 1507 New York NY 10001 A completed entry form is required for submission.
All works submitted for consideration must meet the requirements for Active Status membership as described in the membership guidelines. While the author does not need to be a member of MWA, the work itself must make the author eligible for active status. In addition, all publishers submitting work must be on MWA's approved publisher list or otherwise qualify to be added to that list. If the publisher does qualify to be added to the list, they must contact the MWA national office to begin the vetting process. All requests must be approved by the national board before the final submission deadline. See the Membership: Active Status section for the details.
- Entry Form for Book
- Entry Form for Short Story
- Entry Form for TV Episode
- Entry From for Mary Higgins Clark Award
You may:
- Submit the form online
- Mail it to the MWA National Office, 1140 Broadway, Suite 1507, New York NY 10001
- Fax it to 212-888-8107
Please note that some of our judges will now accept books/stories in e-pub format. They are noted on the Judges' mailing list. If you are willing to submit in their requested format, please do so. However, you must follow these instructions: use the online submission form, and email it to each judge along with an e-copy of the book/story. The e-file must be in a format that is compatible with all standard e-Readers, e.g. Kindle, iPad, Kobo, etc. There can be NO expiration date associated with the file. Just as you would be giving them the hardcover or paperback, you are giving them the e-book without any restrictions. NetGalley, Edelweiss, Amazon Gift and all eFiles or widgits must be sent to judges "clean," i.e. with no sales/promotion/quotes material attached.
Works should be submitted by the publisher, but may also be submitted by the author or agent. There is no entry fee, and no limit to the number of entries from a publisher or an individual author.
Deadlines We suggest that work be submitted on the following schedule to assist the judging committee. Meeting these deadlines is not a requirement for eligibility; however, it will greatly aid the judging process.
Books must now be submitted during the month of publication. There is no benefit to waiting until the end of the year – if anything, that may be a hindrance to the book being fairly judged. In addition, the book must arrive to the judges within 30 days of sending the submission form to the national office.
January 2016 – March 2016 March 31, 2016
April 2016 May 31, 2016
May 2016 June 30, 2016
June 2016 July 29, 2016
July 2016 August 31, 2016
August 2016 September 30, 2016
September 2016 October 31, 2016
October – December 31, 2016 December 4, 2016
- ONLY Books with a December publication date may be submitted in galleys.
Please Note: Works with a November or December release date may be submitted to judges in galley/ARC form. All works must be received by the judges by December 4, 2016. Works received after that date will not be considered for an Edgar award. Absolutely no exceptions.
Nominations are usually announced in the middle of January (on or near Edgar Allan Poe's birthday) of the following year and the winners are announced at the annual Edgar® Awards Banquet, which takes place in New York City in late April or early May each year.

Joshua, Jericho...and "the commander"
So in my daily readings I have got as far as the Israelites entering the promised land, and now they have to clear away the locals. It went on to tell the infamous story about the seige at the city of Jericho...but I have never seen the passage just before it.
13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, What does my lord say to his servant? 15 And the commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy. And Joshua did so.
The Host identifies himself as "the Commander of the army of The Lord" this means it can be only Michael :happydancing: its always fun when you come across something new in scripture, especially when you thought you knew the story :ashamed::laugh:
So, you don't subscribe to the view that this was a christophany? How do you reconcile your exegesis with Rev. 19:10?
No I absolutely DO NOT buy into the ideaology of a preincarnational Christ...absolutely NOT!!!
There is NOTHING in the scriptures that points to anything physical Christ in chronology prior to the incarnation itself. However...ironically, so good are the Angels at giving Glory to where it belongs, that people HAVE got the idea that the Angel is actually Christ himself.
NO Christ did not save Lot from Sodom...that was a Host. NO Christ did not Wrestle with Abraham...that was a Host. NO Christ did not appear to Joshua and present himself as the commander of the Army of the Lord...even I was taken aback by THAT explicit rank. Usually Michael seems to shroud himself in mystery and leave himself open to not just representing Christ, but actually defering completely to Christ in an effort to remain hidden....that whole theology is come about quite deliberatley, because Michael would rather NOT take Glory that doesnt belong to him. So its an easy mistake to make. Which is why I was very supprised when he explained who he was...He of course was refering to his position following the Civil War in the Heavens, where the battle cry was Michaels name, and he was the one who led the advance...he is also the one who captures and imprisions the devil, not just once, but twice, and is in the end permitted to kill Lucifer all together.
I dont need to unify this with Rev 19...because thats NOT the sort of mistake I would make. Rev 19 is specifically FOR people who evidently cant tell the difference between a Host sent to do GODs bidding, and GOD himself...and thus worship the Host...However...if the Host deliberately missleads you into thinking that he is GOD (note he IS GOD, not He is A god) then you will worship GOD and not Him...for you dont believe that he was there at all! So all those people who believe in a preincarnate Christ, are actually physically wrong...but there is no harm done in them believing what they do, because the Angel gets no glory...its all given to Christ, by the belief that it was Christ who did it directly, and not an Angel. in otherwords... Michael has made himself completely transparent...so transparent, millions argue he was never there...thats how convincing the deliberate ambiguity has become. :laugh:
Verrrrra clever. :w00t:
The Commander of the Army of The Lord...cant be The Lord Himself can it? Otherwise, it is HIS Army. This is someone who The Lord has made Commander for The Lords Army....its not logical to think the Commander and The Lord are one and the same. Otherwise he would say it was his army, and not the army of another. (but thats constantly how he adds the ambiguity, he always defers up the chain of command, leading people to believe he is talking about himself, when actually, he's writing himself out of history by acting as a signpost pointing to GOD. So He might be able to watch someone praise GOD through having contact with Him...but he would NOT dare say the Army was belonging to Him...his Predescessor did exactly that...and we all know what happened to him...dont we! As for the Holy Ground statement...there was something about Jericho...No other city had that happen to them, with the ark. I think Jericho was the first after the Jordan crossing, but I could be wrong...I think this was extra support for Joshua who was, effectively, undertaking his first command of Israel into a long conquest of a large proportion of the middle east. Some translations readily admit this by using the phrase "angel of the Lord" and they refference it to the burning bush...which is interesting because the first order was the same...to take off the shoes on Holy Ground. Personally I hold that the Jews were deliberately kept in darkness about Christ until the Incarnation...therefore I think that any meddling in the old testament, unless hidden from view by cloud, is a Host and not Christ...as far as the Jews were concerned, and in truth, outside of the trinity, the highest form of being in Michael...who is Satans opposite...we go on a lot about how powerful Satan can be...but the majority of Christians dont even know who Michael is...and the majority of non christians think GOD is the opposite of the Devil. If you had seen what had happened to someone who took pride in themselves too much and paid the price, and then you got his job, wouldnt you make absolutely positiviely certain you would NEVER make that mistake...because of that recognition..and maybe the fear of that temptation having been a reality to another of his kind, we almost get an over compensation where Michael completely vanishes into thin air...leaving nothing but the Trinity in one corner, and Satan in the other...He's so good at his job, you dont notice he is doing it...infact, you dont notice he even exists...such is the state for most of christendom. As the chief of all Angels, he's a regular in scripture...but you have to know what you are looking for, or else you only see Christ through him...which is no bad thing, of course...but he really shows what it is to be christlike..so much so, all that can be seen through him IS Christ...and to think, ressurectional Faithful are above even him...the very meaning of his name is he-who-is-like-christ thats what the word Michael means.
Both are Host interacting with Humans

This week, I will be in Las Vegas for the 30th annual [Data Center Conference]. For those on Twitter, follow the conference on hashtag #GartnerDC, and follow me at [@az990tony].
t Once again, I will be working the IBM Exhibition Booth of the Solution Showcase, attending keynote and break-out sessions, and meeting with clients and analysts. Today is mostly setting up the booth, getting my registration badge and materials, an orientation meeting for first-timers, and finish off the evening with a networking event to get the party started!
Traffic to and from the hotel was a mess today because of the [Las Vegas Strip at Night Rock-n-Roll Marathon]. The entire Las Vegas Boulevard was blocked off from 2pm to 11pm, causing taxis some headaches getting to and from each hotel. This marathon included a "Stiletto Dash" where women had to run in shoes that had at least three inch heels! (Only in Las Vegas!)
The conference is organized into 8 tracks:
- Navigating the Journey to Cloud-Delivered Services
- Achieving and Maintaining IT Operational Excellence
- Modernizing Your Storage Strategy to Keep Pace with Burgeoning Demand
- Ensuring Your Business Continuity Management Plan Reflects Today's Realities and Tomorrow's Challenges
- Virtualization: Moving at Light Speed While Leveraging Your Existing Investments
- The Future of Servers and Operating Systems
- Data Center Modernization: Staying Agile in Chaotic Times
- Pervasive Mobility: What Infrastructure and Operations Needs to Know Now
I am glad to see that storage got its own track this year! If you are attending the conference, here are the sessions that IBM is featuring for Monday:
- IBM: Watson and Your Data Center
This is a lunch-time talk. Steve Sams, IBM VP of Sites and Facilities, will explain how to leverage Watson-like analytic approaches to provide flexible, cost-effective data center solutions. Analytics can be used to better align IT to the business needs, optimize server, storage and network utilization and improve data center design.
- IBM: University of Rochester Medical Center cracks the code on data growth
Rick Haverty, Director of Infrastructure for University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), will discuss how his team built a storage strategy that transformed their environment to bring savings right to their bottom line without sacrificing the speed, criticality and performance requirements of their imaging and EMR systems. I will be there to introduce Rick at the beginning, and then moderate the Q&A after the talk.
- Solution Showcase Reception
The Solution Showcase opens up Monday night with a reception, serving food and drinks. Look for the IBM Portable Mobile Data Center (PMDC), the big trailer on the show floor. We also have an exhibit booth, across from the PMDC, to ask questions and talk with various IBM experts. You can look for me and the other experts wearing white lab coats!
It's gearing up to be a great week in Vegas!

I mention a number ways to do this, in How to be Invisible, but today, a reader from Dallas, Texas came up with a brilliant new idea. It was just a post to my Q&C page but I decided you readers would also appreciate this brilliant ploy. Here's the post, word for word:
"I like to order catalogs, product information, brochures, etc. online and have them sent to my CMRA address. I don't want my real name on any mailing lists, but I don't want to use several different alternate names, which might make the CMRA agent wonder what's going on (since I am only supposed to have mail in my real name delivered there). My solution for this is that when I am filling out an online form for these items, in place of my first name and last name, I use a generic 'junk mail' name with two words that will replace my first and last name.
"Examples: Current Resident, Valued Customer, Box Holder. The CMRA agent has no problem with this and I get all of the mail. If I move and decide to forward the mail that is only in my real name, the 'junk' mail won't follow me, but will be returned to the sender. Also, if I want to toss the information in the trash, I don't have to worry about my name being on it and have it being picked up by a passerby."

Reviews of this property
I had big problem to get contect with the host. When we came to Paris I tried to call two different number I had but none answerd. I also sent at least 5 emails. After 7 hours I got a email that describe where i could get the key. When we came to the apartment it wasn't cleand at all. It was old sheets int he bed, old towels and garbage in the middle of the room. Tried to call and e-mail them again but no one answed. So we hade find a store and by our own sheets.... The next day two people came into the apartment nine o'clock in the morning. The didn't speak elnglish and i don't understand french so well so it was hard.. The didn't say who they were or anything. But we at least got new sheets. I got a e-mail later that day telling that it had be a big misstake and that they were sorry. They said that the owner wanted to meet us and give us money back for the bad first night. On our staying here we didn't met the owner and we didn't got any money back.
Besides that the apartment is pretty nice but the hosting was terrible and doing a misstake is okay. But not do anything about it is not okat. SO DON'T STAY HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE SHORE TO GET ANSWERS AND GOOD HOSTING
Great view, nice owner, great location (close to République), to improve cleanliness studio but I still recommend considering the price and all the benefits of the studio.
Superbe vue, proprio sympa, studio très bien situé (à deux pas de la station République), propreté à améliorer mais je recommande quand même vu le prix et tous les avantages qu'offre le studio.
Our stay in this studio was great, we made the most out of it. The landlady was very responsive and even proposed to find us a parking @€20/night nearby. The location is optimal, only 3 stops from Gare du Nord and 5 min walk from the Place de la Republique. All good restos nearby (Marine, Verre volé, Cambodge and Marie et Louise), great wine shops, bakery and a supermarket around, and even a McDo for the morning coffee to take away (30 meters away from the studio!). Everything is there to enjoy the atmosphere of the Canal St Martin, one of the best areas of Paris.
The view is very nice and the studio is in the back, thus very calm. The bed is a true bed. Unfortunately the is no bedside lamp and the kitchen is a minimum (not even a towel): no oven, but 3 fires to cook, a huge fridge (you can even make your own ice cubes) and cutlery/plates glasses at the minimum. Shower, toilet, bathroom perfect, bring your soap. We didn't watch TV so I can't tell you anything about the flat screen in front of the bed. All in all a very good deal, given the exchange rate$/€.
Ideal, just held one-bedroom apartment in a nice neighborhood in Paris. 5 min. Métro "République". With kitchen ideal for travelers who want to eat something at home. Not a 5 star hotel, but for a city break you're always usually go.
Ideale, einfach gehaltene 1-Zimmer Wohnung in einem schönen Viertel Paris. 5 min. von Métro "République". Mit Küche auch ideal für Reisende, die mal zuhause etwas essen wollen. Kein 5-Sterne Hotel, aber bei einem Städtetripp ist man eh meistens unterwegs.
Very nice and clean housing. Equivalent to the promised view. calm. But very little equipment. Good for a short stay.
Logement très agréable et propre . Vue équivalente à celle promise . calme . Mais très peu d'équipement . Bien pour un séjour de courte durée .
The view of Paris makes the unkempt apartment just almost well again. Apartment in missing important things like trash or oven / microwave.
Die Aussicht auf Paris macht die ungepflegte Wohnung nur fast wieder gut. In Wohnung fehlen wichtige Dinge wie Mülleimer oder Backofen/ Mikrowelle.
We had a lovely stay in this appartment in Paris. It is in an ideal location close to two metro stations, the room was clean and a decent size. The owner spoke no english but this wasn't a huge issue. The only negative thing I would comment was that we visited on a very hot week in Paris, the room was incredibly warm and we perhaps wouild of liked a fan. Great place to stay for the price- lots of bars and restaurants close by.
The apartment is close to the Metro Station - République and it is very clean. The bike rental station is also close to the apratment. We have a nice stay in Paris. If wifi provided would be better.
Very quiet and in good condition studio, good bedding. Very nice location on the edge of the St Martin canal, just minutes from the Republic metro. For everything to be perfect, it lacks some essential elements: - lamps, to read in bed - a garbage ... - and especially a microwave oven to warm kitchen on the go after a day visiting the capital. The balcony could also be better equipped, so we can enjoy the nice view over the rooftops. I would recommend this rental.
Studio très calme et en bon état ; bonne literie. Situation trës agréable sur le bord du canal St Martin, à quelques minutes du métro République.
Pour que tout soit parfait, il manque quelques éléments indispensables :
- des lampes de chevet, pour pouvoir lire au lit,
- une poubelle...,
- et surtout un four à micro-ondes pour réchauffer une cuisine sur le pouce après une journée de visite de la capitale.
Le balcon pourrait également être mieux aménagé, pour qu'on puisse profiter de la vue sympathique sur les toits.
Je recommanderais cette location.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

She's Almost Her Old Self, Again!
Posted by JJ2007 on Jul 14, 2012
I started Dixie on the Sea Mussel nutritional remedy (2 caps twice/day) and within 24 hrs, she had stopped growling at me, and had noticeably improved in other ways, as well. Although she is still limping somewhat, she is so greatly improved otherwise-her mood and disposition-compared to where she was on Wed, 06/13/2012--the day that we went to the animal clinic for her annual boosters. Her new daily natural remedy regimen is as follows: 2 caps Sea Mussel (AM & PM doses), 1/2 dropper dose of HyaFlex H.A. (every day mixed into her dinner), and 1 cap MSM (AM & PM doses). All of these doses are managed with the "Greenies Allergy Formula Pill Pockets" & cooked salmon chunks, to disguise the larger caps' taste. I discussed all of the nutritional supplements that I'm giving her with her veterinarian, and she approved of my plan. *Actually, Dixie and I are taking essentially the same supplements for the same ailment (arthritis). That's what originally prompted me to seek out canine equivalents to the supplements that I have been using with great success.* I can only expect that she'll do better and better as the days progress. PTL!
Easy to administer and works real fast!

My poodle was diagnosed with hip problems a year ago. I had him on Glucosamine supplements in capsules form and though he doesn't mind chomping them up, it's slightly messier when it needs to be placed near his throat and make him swallow. As a bad mom, I forgot to buy additional supply when we ran out until he began yelping again when i tried to carry him. I rushed him to the vet to had a check-up and they recommended Hyaflex. With the Hyaflex, it's so easy to give him his daily dose and he actually looks forward to it! Within two days he already stopped yelping and was once again running around and jumping like an idiot.... :) It is definitely one product which works!!
This product works!

My poor dog has been having problems with her walking. This product has actually helped her a lot. I'm still keeping her from going up the stairs, but this morning she had a little run for the first time in about a month.

Unfortunately my order took over a month to arrive and my old dog passed away unexpectedly before I could give him the product.
Hope it helps

I gave to my 2 old dogs seems it's better then before, I am not very sure the effects cuz I gave other supplements such as Green mussels, MSM and Glucosamine as well but I will continue to use.
Seems good

If the future of the Republican Party lies with today's younger Americans, the outlook from the conservative perspective is not exactly encouraging.
Jonathan Chait EXPLAINS:
How doomed are conservatives? Pretty doomed, if you look carefully at the Pew Research Survey�s�close analysis of the youth vote in the 2012 elections. The Republicans� long-term dilemma has generally been framed in racial terms, but it�s mainly a generational one. The youngest generation of voters contains a much smaller proportion of white voters than previous generations, and those whites in that generation vote Republican by a much smaller margin than their elders.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (185 votes).
In short: purposeful , professional but friendlyIn full: Permanently-plumbed loss; a warm building with catering in; plenty of spaces to keep out of the wind; plenty of parking: all this made it logistically straightforward. The route itself is a bit dull by dint of being laps, but that has its advantages in pacing/strategy as well. It was only a shame that we didn't all know about the way to go round the sensor that would have recorded our splits. Ghastly Soviet-style trophy is so awful that it's already a talking point. Parky up on that plateau, but I shall give it another go next year!Date of review: November 27, 2008
In short: Great event. One of the most user friendly 10k races you'll findIn full: Really enjoyed this event. The organisation seemed really professional but with just a few hundred runners also really accessible & friendly and more personal. Great value too. Really loved the little boy calling out the runners names from the bib numbers so dad could shout encouragement through a megaphone. Impressively fast pinning up the results at the end. Venue is interesting and great quality surface to run on - have to get your head around running 3 laps of the same circuit but it's different. Would be a great venue for a bigger crowd as loads of space. Easy to get to, easy free parking and no waiting for toilets all help make this event even more user friendly. Professional timing and photography add to the quality of the event. Bit windy this time - I'll be back on a calmer day to beat my time.Date of review: November 27, 2008
In short: A great race, well organised and enjoyableIn full: this was my first ever race, having been running purely for fitness for the last two years i decided to give a race a go for fun. the course is effectively three laps of castle combe circuit, smooth tarmac and minor undulations, having driven round the circuit before i have to say i was quite looking forward to running it. terrible weather an hour before the race made me worried but with ten minutes to go the rain ceased, the clouds (almost) parted and it was dry but very windy. there is a stretch between 2km and 3km (thus repeated three times in the race) on the course where the wind was strong and you were noticeably leaning into the wind, tiring but all part of the fun.the atmosphere was nice, though it was clear there were some fast runners in this race, i just went round at a comfortable pace and enjoyed myself. i was very pleased with a time of sub 49 minutes and i was converted. the scenary is dull though, for most of the lap its just the empty spectator banking though it was nice at the end of each lap to see people.this is a perfect race for beginners. infact any race organised by the same team would be recommended. the things a first timer looks for are things like ease of registration, parking etc (it sounds daft but anything to settle the nerves is very welcome), lap boards every km for pacing and a friendly atmosphere, all of which were present here at castle combe.Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Well run race. Shame about the windIn full: Was hoping to finish with a pb, but a bit of a cold and running head on into a strong wind for what felt like two thirds of the race put paid to that. Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Well organised race, shame about the wind!In full: Hats off to DB Max for a great race. Well organised and good facilities at the venue. Good PB potential but very exposed to the wind and with 3 laps that meant running into a gale for 3/4 of a mile three times which took the spring out of the legs! Not totally flat but given the right conditions (ie not a gale) potentially very fast. Shame the hot tubs didn't turn up, I bought my trunks specially!!Date of review: November 23, 2008
In short: First ever 10k - PB in the bag! Most enjoyable.In full: Heavy rain drumming on the roof of the car an hour before the start did not bode well for my first ever 10k. By 11.00am, the rain had stopped, the sun was threatening to break through and the wind was not going to let up. Excellent race on a novel and interesting track (the Castle Combe motor racing circuit). The km markers were really helpful, the group of supporters on each lap encouraging and the chap with the loudhailer (Will?) kept everyone aware of what was going on, which was great. As for the race, I was delighted to cross the finishing line in 44mins 36 seconds. Top marks all round!!Date of review: November 23, 2008
In short: very good a perfect first 10km, thanksDate of review: November 23, 2008
In short: Well organised overall. But Lack of medals for all finishersIn full: A very well orgainsed event. Stress free parking and registering. Can be very windy as it was on this day. If it is raining it can be very tough as their is no hiding from it. Small number of competitors can mean that the field is very spread out. Only problem was the lack of medals for all competitors, although I was promised one through the post.Date of review: August 10, 2008
In short: Flat & friendlyIn full: Well organised and really friendly atmosphere. I found three laps a bit of psychological struggle as the scenery was non-existent - but thats the compromise in having a very flat course with good PB potential. Date of review: July 25, 2008
In short: Very quck race, PB territory. Date of review: June 14, 2008

I took the call that December morning out of habit because when you�re a reporter you always take the call, even if you�re standing shoulder high in moving boxes.
The editor told me they had captured Saddam Hussein. He�d been found hiding in a hole. Could I come in and help cover it for the paper? Maybe find a local angle?
I have a moving truck in my driveway, I said, while the snow began to cover the streets and inch up toward the curb. I could see my brother-in-law helping my husband move furniture down the stairs. The heavy lifting had just begun.
I don�t know how well it would go over if I left them here to do all the work. Call me back if you don�t find someone else, I said.
No other phone call came. Another reporter worked that weekend while Brian and I unpacked in our first house.
I�d find out years later, after the U.S. government declassified the information, that I had the local angle that day. While I opened boxes in Rochester, the interrogator who gathered scraps of information and then bound them together to mark a path to Saddam Hussein was flying home � and home, for us, is the same place.
Army Staff Sergeant Eric Maddox and I grew up in a little town outside of Tulsa, Okla., where he played football and made good grades, even in his advanced classes. He might not admit it, but he was pretty popular. He could have used that to be mean to other kids, but he seemed to always choose kindness. He was one of the really good guys in our graduating class. And that good guy grew up to be a good man, with medals and national honors, with a book about his life and a movie in the wings.
He�s a hero, for sure. While I�m still shocked that I have a friend who made international history, I�m not surprised that the friend is Eric. It�s easy to see how God laid a foundation for greatness in his life � and how God continues to create heroes.
Look for the kid who defends the littlest and the left-out. Find the teen who calls home to get a safe ride. Watch for the young man who serves the homeless.
You might find you know heroes, too.

So, I bet my entire McCartney collection that this isn't the first thread about Give My Regards to Broadstreet. That being said, how does everyone rate it?
Back in 2002, my dad and I hunted EVERYWHERE for it. Every car boot, second hand shop etc. It was like eBay had never happened (we hadn't got into Amazon etc then). Even The Beatles Shop in Liverpool didn't have it - the guy behind the counter had never even heard of Broadstreet!
Eventually, my dad surprised me with it one day. He had found an ad in the back of Record Collector about Music DVDs and we managed to get it bran new!
Anyway, back to topic, is it really that bad?
Personally, I think it's good. Not VERY good, or great, by any means, but it's the only way you can really "meet" the Paul that was around in the early eighties and as I'm 18, I didn't see him then.
The script is a bit patchy at times - the Eleanor Rigby segment could have been dropped as it slows the pace - but there are some good moments, all the same. Probably most famous among fans is the rehearsal in the barn near London Bridge. But I will say something for it, the actual attention to detail in the film is second to none. Harry vaccuming in the beginning when Bryan Brown is on the phone, before we even find out who Harry is, for instance!
Paul also looks really young in it. In all honesty, I would place him as 25-27, as opposed to 42. And the leather jacket/hawian shirt is cool!
So I think it's a film which is good in places.
Whay d'yall think?

As we wait to receive word on which, if any, Vikings free agents are retained prior to free agency starting on Tuesday, there is one guy we can pretty much scratch from the list with certainty.
We had mentioned a while back that safety Jarrad Page attended an open tryout with the Los Angeles Dodgers. As it turns out, he wasn't just doing it to kill time.
Reports have surfaced that Page, a once promising young NFL player, has signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers as an outfielder.
Freds never knew Alan could play baseball….and at his age? Amazing really.Like(0)Dislike(0)
Did he retire from the Minnesota supreme court? Good luck to him in the minors tho. Did Freds ever pursue a career baseball?Like(0)Dislike(0)

No Freds didn't pursue baseball. Baseball requires hitting. As you know, Freds doesn't hit.
Thank you.

South America: NATO's Sixth Continent
US Escalates War Plans In Latin America
"plans for the direct US military aggression in Latin America, dormant since the invasion of Panama in 1989, may be slated for revival.."
Chavez 'Ready for Combat' with Columbia:
"Venezuela's military will respond if there's an attack against Venezuela," he added. Chavez further said he would call on his allies in this week's Summit of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) in Quito, Ecuador, to pressure the Colombian President Alvaro Uribe into reconsidering the military deal with the US.."
US Builds Up Bases in Oil Rich South America:
"From the Caribbean to Brazil, political opposition to US plans for 'full spectrum operations' is escalating rapidly.."
Venezuela Surrounded
"Venezuela and the Bolivarian Revolution find themselves surrounded by no less than thirteen US military bases in Columbia, Panama, Aruba, and Curacao, as well as the aircraft carriers and warships of the Fourth Fleet.
President Obama seems to have given the Pentagon a free hand.
Would the people of the world allow a new crime against democracy to be carried out in Latin America...?"
US - Venezuelan Relations: Imperialism and Revolution
"If Washington proceeds toward a proxy war with Venezuela using Honduras as a dress rehearsal, (in addition to its overstretch today in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Yemen) can it win a prolonged offensive war?
A highly dubious proposition. More likely it will re-radicalize the continent..."
Canada, Honduras and the Coup d'Etat:
"Honduras is one of the CIDA target countries, and the top recipient of Canadian development funds in Central America. In addition the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade disburses part of their Counter-Terrorism Capacity Building Fund...and the Department of Defence runs a Military Training Program that includes the participation of Honduran soldiers.
Canadian corporations such as Montreal based Guildan Activewear and Scarborough based label maker Mayfair Canada are members of the Honduran Manufacturing Association. They are joined by Calgary's Merendon, a jewelry company whose directors are charged wtih defrauding shareholders in what the RCMP has called one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in Canadian history.
On the financial front it is possible that Canadian companies active in Honduras will see an upward investment climate..."
For those interested there is some interesting coverage on this topic as it relates to the presence of US military bases in Peru:
Aruba and Curacao especially are Hot Spots of anti-revolutionary zeal.
We met a dive guide on one of those three islands who told us one night at the bar he was paid $2000 USD a month to be a mercenary in Central America in the 1980's. His side-kick confirmed it. He looked the type, too - body builder type and liked carrying a pistol and big knife. I had a bad feeling about the asshole when I first met him, and I was right.
Mondo Hondo : Obama Goes Traditional in Latin America
"For almost 200 years, since the proclamation of the Monroe Doctrine, the United States has continually asserted - and often physically exerted - its self-awarded right of dominion over all the lands south of its border.."
Mexico Is On the Brink of Its Third Revolution:
"The question is if that revolution will be peaceful or violent..."
even though Mexico is not in SA..
Venezuela to Reinforce Troops on Colombia Border
"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has announced plans for the deployment of new Russian-made tanks and combat helicopters on the border with Colombia.."
Colombia is the Israel of Latin America. It's the intermediary through which the United States attacks ____, ______, and _______. Hence the "free trade" agreements with the Colombian narco-state by the poodle regime in .... Canada.
That, and like Honduras, Canada has a number of mining interests there as well.
Supercriminals: Chiquita Lauded for Human Rights Abuses
In its most recent edition, the magazine, 'Super Lawyers' gave its cover story to the General Counsel of Chiquita Brands International, praising him for navigating the complex and difficult [legal] waters of Colombia. What it failed to mention is the trail of tears in Latin America left b Chiquita (formerly United Fruit)..."
This is a rather weird bit of policy:
Whale sperm, pickles and the pain reliever codeine will be considered essential goods in Venezuela and receive a preferential exchange rate under President Hugo Chavez's new currency structure.
Bleach, cheese and whisky have been deemed nonessential. Importers of essential items will pay 2.6 bolivars per dollar, while goods not on that list will get a rate of 4.3 per dollar, according to the government's Official Gazette.
A Coup in Honduras
"Hey," said a supporter in Tegucigalpa, "the election was as legitimate as the Afghanistan farce."
Success took longer than its plotters desired, but official Washington has defined last year as ancient history. The kidnapping of Zelaya - for offering legal steps to reform--and subsequent death squad murders, well, 'let auld acquaintance be forgot.'
So thanks to amnesia (was there a coup there?) Honduras is again safe for Chiquita Banana, US banks and local artistocrats.."
Year of Resistance: Interview with Eva Golinger
"My opinion is that Obama's administration is much more dangerous towards Latin America than Bush was..."
Latin American Peace Initiative (LAPI) Special Event in Toronto - Saturday March 30
"At this special event in LAPI will provide information that is not reported in the mainstream media and to raise awareness of the threats to peace in our hemisphere.."
Pentagon Bracing For A Snap Offensive Against Venezuela
Britain May Provoke New Conflict with Argentina by Rick Rozoff
"If the UK succeeds in provoking a new war, it in turn will appeal to its NATO allies. Britain is playing with fire and if it ignites a new conflict it could spread rapidly far beyond the waters of the southern tip of South America.."
Britain May Provoke New Conflict with Argentina by Rick Rozoff
"If the UK succeeds in provoking a new war, it in turn will appeal to its NATO allies. Britain is playing with fire and if it ignites a new conflict it could spread rapidly far beyond the waters of the southern tip of South America.."
There's some problems with that theory:
1. The reason why the British pulled out of Iraq is that the U.K. could not afford economically, militarily and politically to fight two wars at once.
2. Both the U.K. and the other EU NATO countries are war weary and don't have the stomach for another war, even if NATO wants it to justify its continued existence if the Afghan war fails.
The reason why U.S. and U.K. chicken hawks want Falklands/Malvines War II is because of the offshore oil there. It's all about the crude dude.
My apologies to Linda McQuaig for the ripoff.
As for 'war-weary', not quite yet I don't think...
Look at the Netherlands. The funny thing is in all countries like Canada, the U.K., France, Germany and even the U.S.A., etc., the majority of people polled expressed that they wanted the troops out now. Yet they have center right governments (except the U.K., which has a pro war Labor government - go figure) and even though they are democracies, the governments don't listen to the people and often either escalate the number of troops or escalate the length of military engagement.
Something is going to give sooner or later.
Governmnents DO listen but what they 'hear' is that there is insufficient organized or motivated resistance capable of dislodging their elite agendas - so they continue. Why has not every single anti-war MP not been screaming incessantly and without pause against this war since it started? The answer is that there has not been any significant public pressure upon them to force this and plenty from the other side to keep them going along with it. Unless and until 'the majority of people polled' escalate the pressure considerably upon the PTB it will give later rather than sooner, if at all.

Has anybody else heard about this? Todd Rundgren is going to be touring with two original members of the Cars as the "New Cars" this summer. I love Todd Rundgren, and I liked the original Cars, but I don't know what to think about this.
Elliot Easton and Greg Hawkes are the only two original members of the Cars that are going to be on this tour. Without Ric Ocasek it just seems kind of strange. (Not to mention Ben Orr, one of the original vocalists who died of cancer a few years ago - he sang their biggest hit, "Drive.") I'm surprised somebody of Todd Rundgren's artistic stature would agree to do this.
I saw Todd Rundgren on his "Liars" tour, and I thought he was great. (Even though he only did one hit, "Hello It's Me." I guess if you're only going to do one, that's the one to do.)
They will be touring with Blondie. I saw Blondie here in Dallas about two years ago, and I wasn't that impressed. I love Blondie, but Debby Harry just didn't sound that great. (Especially on "Atomic" - she could barely hit the notes) I think it's time for her to give it a rest.
There's a rumor that the Pretenders are going to join this tour. If that's the case, I would like to check it out because I've never seen the Pretenders and I love Chrissy Hynde.

Samsung Electronics, the world's largest maker of flash memory, on Monday announced the industry's first production of 20nm-class NAND chips for use in Secure Digital (SD) memory cards and embedded memory solutions. Based on this cutting-edge technology, the introduction of 32Gb MLC NAND will expand the company's memory card solutions for smart phones, high-end IT applications and high-performance memory cards.
Samsung's 20nm-class MLC NAND has a 50% higher productivity level than 30nm-class MLC NAND. The write performance of a 20nm-class-based, 8GB and higher density, SD card is 30% faster than the 30nm-class NAND and it delivers a speed-class rating of 10 (read speed of 20MB/s, write speed of 10MB/s). By applying cutting-edge process, design and controller technology, Samsung also has secured reliability levels comparable to 30nm-class NAND.
"In just one year after initiating 30nm-class NAND production, Samsung has made available the next generation node 20nm-class NAND, which exceeds most customers requirements for high-performance, high-density NAND-based solutions. The new 20nm-class NAND is not only a significant step forward in process design, but we have incorporated advanced technologies into it to enable substantial performance innovation," said said Soo-In Cho, president of memory division at Samsung Electronics
Samsung Electronics first began producing 32Gb NAND with 30nm-class process technology in March 2009. Now it is shipping SD card samples to customers that are built with 20nm-class 32Gb NAND and will expand production later this year. Memory cards based in the 20nm-class will be available from 4GB through 64GB densities.

A nine-year-old California boy has become the youngest person ever to summit Argentina's 22,841-ft. Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America.
Accompanied by his father Kevin and a Tibetan sherpa, Tyler Armstrong reached the top on Christmas Eve. As The Guardian reports, the extraordinary feat required special permission due to the extreme nature of the climb and Tyler's age:
Only 30% of the 7,000 people who obtain permits to climb Aconcagua each year make the summit, said Nicolas Garcia, who handled [Armstrong's] logistics from down below. No one under 14 is usually allowed, so the family had to persuade an Argentinian judge that Tyler could safely accomplish the feat.
"Any kid can really do this – all they have to do is try. And set their mind to the goal," said Tyler, who worked out twice a day for a year and a half to prepare for the climb. He also held fundraisers, not only to defray the cost, but to raise money for CureDuchenne, which funds muscular dystrophy research.
"I think Tyler's record speaks for itself and because I think he's doing it for a good cause, he's doing it to help other people, I think the judge recognised that," said his father, an emergency medical technician.
Tyler Armstrong has already climbed 19,341-ft. Mount Kilimanjaro and hopes to eventually climb all "seven summits," a.k.a. the highest peak on each continent.

Not happy with the ingredients
Posted by LessSugarNaturally on Jun 12, 2013
I meant to buy the Passion Fruit Nectar Alba lip gloss which scores a "2" with the EWG for toxicity. This pineapple quench flavour actually scores very poorly, scoring a "5", with ingredients like geraniol, citral, and benzyl alcohol, it's safe to say I won't be using it. The gloss on this product was fine but I think in the end I prefer the feel of lip balms. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I wasn't a fan of the pineapple flavour either. Feel free to check out my other detailed reviews on products like stevia, baking staples and low-toxicity beauty products and do let me know if you found this review helpful :)

ריח מעולה של אננס, הטעם בכלל - אננס מתוק, אבל עם אפקט כמו של מנטה, מרענן וקריר. לא דביק בכלל, המרקם פחות של גלוס, יותר ג׳ל כזה, נעים על השפתיים, ואני לא אוהבת גלוסים בד״כ. ממלא את השפתיים בלחות, ומחליק את כל הסדקים, למראה שפתיים חלקות לחלוטין. אהבתי מאוד!

This stuff is amazing. Much better than solid lip balm. It actually leaves the lips soft and healthy long after it's worn off. Makes lips super glossy. Stays on a long time.
Smells nice

absolutely delicious! I just want to eat it all up while applying x) It's a great lipgloss though, with good & safe ingredients.
This scent...is mouthwatering!

Bought this one because of the scent. Glossy, the smell is delectable! Lips felt a little dehydrated.
Love it!

I use it as a moisturizer under my lip stick and to give a shine on lips after it. Nice smell!

Lavandula are an indispensable member of the herb family, used for perfumes and potpourri. Use it in dry gardens, barren slopes, or bordering a sunny path. Its ornamental compact habit makes it a welcome addition to the perennial border. Evergreen (Ever-gray?) in warmer zones. Semi-evergreen in north.
Best in full sun and well-drained soil. Good drainage is essential to success. In clay soils, may benefit from planting in raised beds. Cut back by 1/3 to 1/2 in spring when new foliage appears. Do not cut back in fall. These woody plants do not like to be divided. Sometimes stems root where they touch the soil and these plantlets can be transplanted in spring. May benefit from gravel mulch.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Ferris another tough assignment for Huskies
HOUGHTON – With GLIAC North play beginning today, the Michigan Tech women's basketball team travels to Baig Rapids, Mich., with the season at a critical juncture.
In their three games since the winter break, the Huskies have lost twice – albeit, to the No. 1 and No. 5 teams in the country – and won ugly against a conference victory-less Lake Erie squad.
So naturally, in a test that will be as mental as it is physical, Tech will try and rediscover its mojo against North Division leaders Ferris State.
"We are hoping it is like Michigan State (men's basketball)," Tech coach Kim Cameron said. "They play the toughest teams in the country early, and when they lose, people think they are never going to win another game, but then they are always going deep in March."
On Saturday, it was reigning GLIAC Player of the Year and senior forward Kari Daugherty the Huskies defense had to focus on. Today, it is how the Tech defense handles senior Sarah DeShone, possibly the best guard in the conference – though Sam Hoyt's brow might wrinkle at that description – that should decide the outcome.
Last season, Ferris wrested North Division dominance from Tech thanks to a season sweep over the Huskies. DeShone led the way with 34 total points on 50 percent shooting.
"DeShone is a very flashy player and she does everything," Cameron said. "She scores, she creates, she gets rebounds, she gets steals – she is everywhere and she goes 1,000,000 miles an hour. You watch just one play in film and she has done 10 different things to set up one player on her team."
With all four other starters gone from last year's team, the Bulldogs have become even more dependent on DeShone.
The 5-foot-7 senior trails only Daugherty in the GLIAC with 21.1 points per game (47 percent shooting) and leads Ferris in assists.
With three starters graduated and one lost to injury, DeShone's scoring has jumped seven points per game to accommodate the lack of experience around her.
Right now, she is Ferris State.
"They had a couple more shooters last year who were used to having more of a scoring role," Cameron said. "Where this year they have a couple of younger kids. She is just in full control of all of them. She will literally tell them where to go so she can pass them the ball for a layup."
Fitting her top billing, Cameron will rely on a host of defenders to wear on DeShone. Hoyt, Paige Albi, Kelcey Traynoff and Emma Veach all may get their shot.
First and foremost, however, Hoyt will draw DeShone from the opening tip. Hoyt sat out Tuesday's practice for what Cameron called "a physical and mental break."
"You can't expect one player to shut (Deshone) down for the whole game because she goes at 110 miles an hour," Cameron said. "So we need a rotation to guard her because she exhausts people.
"It would take a lot for Sam to not be ready for Thursday," Cameron added.
Offensively, the Huskies have shot 40 percent or less in each of the last four games, after only sinking that low in one of the first eight contests. Hoyt and Taylor Stippel, the two leading scorers, are both shooting 39 percent for the season.
To try and bust the slump, the Tech must beat the Bulldogs' 1-3-1 zone with crisp ball movement and strong decision-making – two factors that have not been a given this season.
"If you are strong with the basketball, you can beat (the 1-3-1) with ball movement," Cameron said. "Any time you can get the ball inside-out against the zone, good things are going to happen. we need to be aggressive and not settle for the one-pass shot because you can get that anytime."
Tech will travel to Grand Valley State on Saturday to wrap up the two-game road trip. The Lakers are 9-3 overall this year, with a 5-3 mark in conference.
"These two games are going to be huge," Cameron said. "You can't help but feel a little of an emotional and physical letdown after losing these last two games. there is no question this team, one-through-five, is looking to perform better."

By NATALIE CAMPISI TARPLEY
Published May 25, 2007
My roommate and I hooked up a few weeks ago. It was cool, but now she's acting weird and clingy. She even started showing up at my work, asking people about me and who I go to lunch with. I definitely don't want to date her. How do I tell her without making things even weirder than they already are? I don't want to hurt her.
Mitigating the effects of the weird situation you created is a dicey proposition. Right now, your roommate is analyzing and dissecting every second of your casual encounter, while you're wondering if she's paid the cable bill yet. Her friends are playing straight-talking Dr. Phil to her confused and love-bitten patient. They're trying to talk some sense into her, but it's not working - after all, they couldn't possibly know the way you held her or asked her if she wanted a cold beer post-coital. The only thing that's going to set her straight is you - and it's probably going to get weird, but at least not show-up-at-your-work weird. Her feelings will be hurt and she's probably not going to jump at the chance to wash your socks, but at least she's going to know where she stands without any ambiguity. The lesson here is to avoid physical intimacy with someone unless you're prepared to deal with the consequences. What's a casual night to you is a barefoot wedding on the beach to someone else.
Be subtle, but be firm
I have the nicest roommate in the world, but he tells the same stories over and over. He's about 10 years older than me and he's not doing much with his life now, but he talks about when he was younger all the time. I've heard about his trip to South America probably 30 times. His stories annoy my friends, and I'm sure they annoy his, too. Should I tell him something about his old stories?
Your roommate is probably not going for pathetic loser when he repeats the same worn-out tales of his long-lost youth. He's more likely going for wise adventurer with exciting past ... but it's hard to be objective when you're stuck 10 years in the past. When you know someone long enough, you're bound to get a dose of some re-runs, but it shouldn't be the same episode 40 times a week. Perhaps you can spare your roommate's feelings by talking about a "friend" who repeats the same stories over and over and see if he gets the hint. If he's too far gone for the subtle approach, wait for a time when he starts telling you about his weekend in South America and finish the story for him. Then tell him that it's high time to start planning a new adventure. Even if he never goes anywhere, at least talking about what someone is going to do is more fun than talking about what they already did - for the 100th time.

The plot has thickened in the ongoing forgery scandal engulfing the once-blue chip Knoedler Gallery. Yesterday, the now-defunct Upper East Side gallery and its former director, Ann Freedman, were slapped with a $25 million lawsuit from a couple that believes the gallery sold them a fake Mark Rothko painting for $8.3 million, according to a report in the New York Times.
This is the second multi-million dollar civil suit filed against Knoedler over a painting the buyer now believes to be fake. The day after the gallery abruptly closed its doors in December, London collector Pierre Legrange filed a lawsuit over a Jackson Pollock painting he purchased for $17 million in 2007. Meanwhile, the FBI is currently investigating a trove of allegedly forged paintings by Modernist masters including Rothko, Pollock, and Willem de Kooning that were supplied to Knoedler by a Long Island dealer named Glafira Rosales. One of those works, a canvas purported to be the work of Robert Motherwell, was conclusively labeled a forgery as part of a court settlement last year.
Domenico De Sole, the 67-year-old chairman of Tom Ford International, and his wife, Eleanore, commissioned forensic analysis of the painting they purchased from Knoedler in 2004 and found some of the materials were "inconsistent and irreconcilable with the claim" that the painting was done by Rothko, according to the Times. (It's unclear whether the De Soles sought forensic analysis before or after Knoedler became publicly linked to a forgery scandal.)
The De Soles allege that Freedman, Knoedler's former director, misled them on several counts: she indicated that the painting, "Untitled 1956," would be included in Rothko's catalogue raisonné and also told them she personally knew the Swiss owner of the Rothko. Freedman has testified that she did not know the identity of the collector supplying the Modernist works to Rosales, who in turn supplied them to Knoedler. It is not yet clear, however, whether the Rothko work in question was supplied to Knoedler by Rosales.
A representative and a lawyer from Knoedler both denied the gallery defrauded the De Soles, noting that the authenticity of the painting was not questioned by any of the experts the gallery consulted.
Now we'll just have to wait and see if any other disgruntled buyers come out of the woodwork.
UPDATE, 5:20 P.M.: ARTINFO has received the following statement from Freedman's lawyer, Nicholas Gravante, Jr. of Boies, Schiller & Flexner: "The complaint filed against Ann Freedman is nothing more than a copycat lawsuit. It is notable only for the short shrift it gives to the compelling fact that the Rothko painting, before it was sold, was affirmed by leading Rothko scholars. Furthermore, this Rothko was shown prominently to the international art public, and so documented in one of the series of focused exhibitions "Mark Rothko Rooms" at The Beyeler Foundation, in Basel Switzerland. We continue to believe in the authenticity of this painting, and look forward to proving that this tag-along complaint is meritless."

The Digital Skeptic: Amateurs Are Taking Over, and Risking, Web Security
SAN FRANCISCO( TheStreet) -- Ben Wilson tries hard not to show it. But he's worried. Really worried.
"If somebody gets a hold of one these things, it's not just one site that gets taken out," said Wilson, the senior vice president and general counsel for DigiCert, a Lindon, Utah, Internet security firm, over a hip hotel burger lunch.
"It's, you know, hundreds. Thousands of sites. Heck, maybe more," Wilson said.
The "thing" Wilson is sweating is called a certificate authority -- or CA in geek speak. That's the hidden, but critical, Web security organ that enables parts of secure Web transactions when say, shopping at Amazon (AMZN) or giving your tax ID to IRS.gov or buying and selling stock online at E*Trade (ETFC) .
"The volume CAs handle can be a major fraction of total Web traffic," said David Rockvam, senior vice president for certificate services at Entrust, a Dallas security firm. Entrust and DigiCert are among a half-dozen certificate authorities that control about 90% of the certificate authority market.
"Keeping them secure is critical," Rockvam said.
Wilson and Rockvam had invited me away from the crazy-busy RSA Conference, the computer security nerd Lollapalooza hosted by the security division of drive-maker EMC (EMC) . Here in the relative quiet, the two gave me the lowdown on the new dangers for CAs, away from the hordes gawking at big, sexy security companies such as VeriSign (VRSN) , ZixCorp, Symantec (SYMC) , StrikeForce Technologies (SFOR) and dozens of well-funded start-ups.
What makes Wilson and Rockvam so jittery is how -- not unlike publishing, movies and financial services -- the barriers to entry to becoming a CA, albeit a small one, have dropped to the point where Wilson estimates there are 60 to several hundred active certificate authorities.
"And if you are your own CA, you can do whatever you want," Rockvam explained. "Until you are discovered."
That makes CAs awfully attractive targets.
Just last month, a Turkish CA called TurkTrust began issuing insecure digital security certificates to the point where major traffic hubs Google (GOOG) , Microsoft (MSFT) and Mozilla refused to honor its Web transactions. The company publicly said its bogus certificates were a simple mistake. But it is far from the only example of a crumbling CA security infrastructure.
In 2011, the government of the Netherlands released a harrowing must-read account of the hacker takedown of a large Dutch certificate authority called DigiNotar. The frankly not terribly sophisticated attack effectively bankrupted the company and vaporized a $12.9 million investment by a firm called Vasco, which had bought DigiNotar earlier that year.
Not surprisingly, similar but bigger CAs such as DigiCert and Entrust have invested in ambitious cooperative security plans. But just like the rest of the wobbly Web, the race-to-the-bottom digital age economics makes law and order elusive.

Platinum Blonde Pixie
Pixie is the cut that has survived generations and never goes out of style. This hairstyle by Robert Kirby shows off a luminous blonde making the most out of its short length that reflect symmetry and near-perfection. The fringe has a rounded outline while being swept to one side. The back has smooth layers and choppy cut but not enough to ruin this low profile but transcendental hairdo.

As airlines begin to finally catch up with hiring, pilots need to start thinking of what they can do to get ready for the interview. The internet is loaded with information about what airlines do for interviews. While some airlines have not hired in a while, a few haven't really stopped. But even those that did not interview for a while will likely stick to a preferred process.
There are five major areas to consider as you get ready: written tests/assessments; sim rides; your application packet (to include your logbooks); your appearance; and the actual interview itself. Written tests usually consist of a series of questions from one of the various pilot certificates, with the ATP and instrument being the most common. Some entry-level carriers may include some questions from the commercial test bank as well. These you can study for. You can't study for psychiatric evaluations or personality tests. You are either normal or crazy, and the test will figure it out. (It might even tip you from normal to crazy.) A few airlines will test for mechanical aptitude or math skills. Again, research both on the internet and from actually talking to people in the know will help. But—and this is key—be prepared for a surprise or a curve ball, if not a total change in philosophy.
Sim rides are getting rare, due to the cost. But, a few carriers still have them. They are more common with foreign airlines. The airline will likely provide you with at least some information on the profile to expect. It usually consists of a takeoff, basic air work, VOR tracking, an ILS to a missed approach and a hold (or at least demonstration of the correct entry). It will all be hand-flown and raw data. You may or may not have a non-flying pilot available. The key to doing well on the sim is to bite the bullet and pay for some time in the same type of sim you will be using. If you will be flying a 737 sim, get some time in one. It won't be cheap, but if you make the most of it and have the instructor really push you, it will more than pay for itself. The second point to remember is that if you are paired with a non-flying pilot, use him!
You should arrive to the interview totally familiar with everything in your application packet. You should have reviewed it enough times to ensure that there are no mistakes or typos. To do otherwise is inexcusable. Expect questions about your basic background, and especially if there are any gaps in employment or schooling. This is the first step in your background check, and it also allows the airline to ensure that you simply didn't disappear for a period of time by spending that time in jail. A long gap could be caused by a family medical emergency, or in recovery from a car accident. Be honest. They will find out anyway, and openness and candor on your part go a long way. Likewise, know where all the major landmarks are in your logbook; some carriers ask you to mark certain pages. Be prepared to discuss checkride failures, training hiccups, et cetera. Again, own up to any mistakes, and be candid.
It should go without saying that your appearance needs to be impeccable, but it never fails to amaze me when recruiters or interviewers tell me about pilot applicants who show up with little thought given to their appearance. Don't have a suit? Buy one, and make sure it fits. If your shoes are scuffed, get new ones or get them polished. Wear an undershirt. Knot your tie properly. Get your hair cut. This should be the easiest part of the process, but somehow people manage to mess this up routinely.
Last, the interview itself. Much will depend on what kind of carrier you are applying to. You should always know as much as possible about the history of the company and its current management leadership, fleet, bases, et cetera. Entry-level jobs focus more on assessing your knowledge and making as accurate a determination as possible about what kind of crew member you might be. Does the chief pilot who is interviewing you envision spending four days with you in a room smaller than a phone booth? Do you sound confident without sounding cocky? Are you mature? As you move up the chain of airlines, you will get a lot more "tell me about a time…" questions. The challenge here is not to sound like the answer is canned or far-fetched. One of the best investments you can make, especially if you are not a confident public speaker, is to attend an interview prep session with someone who specializes in airline interviews. You will not only get real questions, but the "interviewer" will try to rattle you. When you are finished, you will watch a video of your performance, and you will get tips on improvements.
As airlines begin to hire, it will be a free-for-all for the best jobs. After such a long wait, you owe it to yourself to use every opportunity to get the job you want. It may cost you some money, but not getting the job will cost you so much more.–Chip Wright
