walled gardenOn the Internet, a walled garden refers to a browsing environment that controls the information and Web sites the user is able to access. This is a popular method used by ISPs in order to keep the user navigating only specific areas of the Web, whether for the purpose of shielding users from information -- such as restricting children's access to pornography -- or directing users to paid content that the ISP supports. America Online is a good example of an ISP that places users in a walled garden.
Schools are increasingly using the walled garden approach in creating browsing environments in their networks. Students have access to only limited Web sites, and teachers need a password in order to leave the walled garden and browse the Internet in its entirety.
The term walled garden also commonly refers to the content that wireless devices such as mobile phones have access to if the content provided by the wireless carrier is limited.

|The #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author Kellerman''s "psychology skills and dark imagination are a potent literary mix" ("Los Angeles Times"), and are apparent in his new novel of murder and madness among the beautiful dreamers, seductive predators, and doomed innocents adrift in Southern California''s eternal sunshine.
From the Publisher:
The #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman?s ?psychology skills and dark imagination are a potent literary mix? (Los Angeles Times), and this intensely thrilling blend has never been so powerful as in the acclaimed author?s new novel of murder and madness among the beautiful dreamers, seductive predators, and doomed innocents adrift in the glare of Southern California?s eternal sunshine.
A series of horrifying events occur in quick succession in the same upscale L.A. neighborhood. A backyard renovation unearths an infant?s body, buried sixty years ago. And soon thereafter in a nearby park, another disturbingly bizarre discovery is made not far from the body of a young woman shot in the head. Helping LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to link these eerie incidents is brilliant psychologist Alex Delaware. But even the good doctor?s vast experience with matters both clinical and criminal might not be enough to cut down to the bone of this chilling case?and draw out the disturbing truth.
Backtracking six decades into the past stirs up tales of a beautiful nurse with a mystery lover, a handsome, wealthy doctor who seems too good to be true, and a hospital with a notorious reputation?all of them long gone, along with any records of a newborn, and destined for anonymity. But the specter of fame rears its head when the case unexpectedly twists in the direction of the highest echelons of celebrity privilege. Entering this sheltered world, Alex little imagines the macabre layer just below the surface?a decadent quagmire of unholy rituals and grisly sacrifice.
Before their work is done, Alex and Milo, ?the most original whodunit duo since Watson and Holmes? (Forbes), must confront a fanatically deranged mind of such monstrous cunning that even the most depraved madman would shudder.

Kellerman has taken advantage of his background in psychology to craft suspense novels that pay particular attention to his characters' motivations and mental problems.
"With their bold black outlines, sinuous curves, and ability to conjure mass out of empty space, McClure's cut-paper spreads can be mesmerizing...Hours of close attention have gone into this, and hours of close inspection are likely to follow." 02/11/2013

changing railroads to run on natural gas
Posted by: grandpagates (IP Logged)
Date: February 3, 2011 06:50AM
I apologize in advance for discussing the possible scenario that oil prices will continue higher .... much higher .... over the next 20 years ....
I few months ago, here at gurufocus, there were links to T Boone Pickens talking up his proposal for congress to spend billions of dollars converting the US trucking fleat to natural gas.
Launching from that departure pointt seems to be that if energy prices were to continue to rise, not only would railroads have a huge advantage on trucks on disel, but it seems that it would be much easier for railroads to convert to natural gas. There are probably not more than several dozen railroad refueling stations nationwide?
There are scattered descriptions on the net of natgas locomotives being tried:
Also, a friend of mine in Thailand tells me it is common for folks to have cars that can run on any of three fuels: gas, natgas, and diesel (I think).
Also, the main disadvantaged of natgas in the bigger "gas tank" needed ...
So while failed Buffet experiment COP would end up spending all its profits from rising oil prices trying to find new reserves, and while XOM threw up its hands and bought natural gas reserves while comparatively cheap, and while congress runs out of deficit cap, and while people talk about the US having abundant cheap natural gas, the Buffett Railroad and its oligarchy of sister railroads could convert to natural gas and destroy trucking on long haul routes.
Arriving finally at my main point, when Buffett looked into the future, COP and other companies/countries may have become reserve challenged but BNI had a relatively simple migration path to natgas. At least, easier to conceptualize than switching locomotives to solar, wind, or electric.
Re: changing railroads to run on natural gas

Grandpagates, in the 2009 gouging I repurchased Westport Innovations as a long term speculation. (I'd previously owned it for many years up to 2007 or so.) It would be well worth your time to visit their site and read up on their Cummins - Westport joint venture and the quite impressive performance results from the engines Cummins is producing. Note that countries like India (where an engine plant has been built) might even be better markets for what you are suggesting.
Additional information is available at the Cummins-Westport link site below. Under the FAQ page they note that there are already 25,000 Cummins Westport engines in service worldwide with positive results.

The idea of rail switching to natural gas may be worth exploring further as some in the trucking industry are already be making the switch...

Re: changing railroads to run on natural gas

One more recent news item of natural gas and railroads... This shows that the efficiency advantage that railroads have over trucking may be able to widen even further... GTL (Gas to Liquid) treatment of a natural gas into a liquid fuel could offer further advantages. Note: Shell recently completed a trial shipment of some kind of GTL fuel from Qatar to the US and other companies are working to enable natural gas to be converted to a liquid.

Re: changing railroads to run on natural gas

This highlights some risk to the railroads where the trucking companies are adopting natural gas before the railways do. Moreover, I don't know, but I'd guess that the lifespan of diesel-electric locomotive is far, far longer than that of a semi so rail's cost advantage in a rising crude price market may be significantly diminished until old locomotives are replaced with some new technology.
Interesting article proving costs and expansion plans of major trucking companies...

As for Westport - the share price has seemed grossly overpriced and the company seems to agree by issuing shares, however, I can't estimate it's true future growth prospects.

More news again...
Natural gas-powered locomotive drives CN into eco-friendly(er) future
Note: At the moment I have no direct holdings in either CN or Westport (Westport has a lot of insider buying going on but in this article it indicates any CN's adoption of Westport or likely any competitor's technology will take years.)

If a Starbucks barista falls in the forest, does anyone hear it?
I just wanted a quick coffee before I went to see "Precious: Based on the Novel Push By Sapphire" - yes, that IS the movie's full title, re-DONK-ulous, isn't it? But it is stunningly good. The kid is good, but Mo'Nique is absolutely brilliant as a crack addict mother. Her last scene is worth an Oscar.
Although I think she's probably poisoned that well, because there's been a lot of reporting about how she's demanded money to show up to promote the movie. Girlfriend. It is an Oscar. You show up in a garbage bag and a nappy weave if you have a chance to win, m'kay? And don't do the Eddie Murphy thing and release "Norbit" the same time people are voting for you for an Oscar for "Dreamgirls." He'll never get near another decent movie again.
Back to me.
I. Just. Wanted. A. Coffee.
It was not to be. It never is. I really don't know why. Maybe it is me. Maybe it is Starbucks.
I go in and *stand* at the register. Not at the pastry case. Not at the handoff bar. Not at the merchandise. Not by the wall. Other than some bored soccer moms yammering on about preschool or Twilight dildos (yes, there is such a thing, so help me Shiva) or something, I was the only customer in the place.
I was apparently not worth of notice.
One barista is cleaning. One is doing something with the coffeemakers and pastries and a cardboard box and the other is leaning out the drive-thru window staring at what could possibly be a dead bird or maybe a Rorschach test of his admittedly limited intelligence.
PLEASE note that none of them were actively engaged in dealing with any customers, either in the store or at the drive thru.
I wait.
Finally, Cardboard Box, who is apparently the manager, asks Rorschach "Do you need something else to do?" Because he DID LOOK BORED!
And Rorschach gave him what had to have been the best simultaneous pissed-off and scornful looks ever managed.And he followed it up with a drawling "Nooooooooooooo." Complete with sour face and puffy bottom lip. Just like a recalcitrant child.
Then they finally notice me.
Rorschach takes my order and I hand him my new recyclable Venti tumbler. Which - if you have one of those - they won't hold the lids for you.
Rorschach removes the lid for me - and PROMPTLY DROPS THE TUMBLER, THE LID AND THE STRAW ON THE FLOOR.
I swear. Must have been a real good toke he'd been hitting in the car out in the parking lot.
At least he had the grace to go wash out my tumbler, even if he forgot to take off my $.10 personal glassware discount. I counted the clean mug a win.
Stoner baristas FTW!

Critic & User Reviews
An RPG shooter to kill some time.

Don't plan on getting immersed in a plot or story as there really isn't much of one. You escape from prison with an NPC partner (who has a tendency to vanish a lot an apparent bug) and pretty much go though the map shooting and killing everything you come across.
It has RPG elements like leveling up, stat increases, equipment, and various skills. You level up fairly quickly and the equipment is plentiful. However, the equipment is mostly aesthetics rather than needed for buffing your character, although it does provide some stat increases. You can also attach gems to pieces to enhance them further. Mostly though, you will convert the items to scrolls, then use the scrolls to give a permanent boost to your stats, which is turn provides better enhancements than the equipment alone.
The maps are straightforward. Go from point A to point B and hold the fire button down killing whatever is in front of you. This gives it more a shooter feel than traditional RPG.
The graphics aren't that great but for the type of game-play it really doesn't need to be loaded with eye candy.
You get various spells like firewall or black hole or raise dead just to name a few. Since leveling up is fast, obtaining most of the spells is easy.
A big issue is the small font size. It's almost impossible to clearly read the descriptions and stats of items you find even on a large TV screen. You'll find your face plastered to it trying to read what the item is and does.
Easy to learn.
Easy controls.
Buggy partner AI
So-so graphics.
Too short.
Font size WAY too small.
easiest platinum ever?

so the combat. How's the combat you ask? Well just hold R1 and circle strafe. Nothing and I mean NOTHING will stand a chance. The enemy AI loves to bunch up into groups so you can just take them down like bowling pins. Though sometimes they change it up and charge you. But just circle strafe to get them back together.
If you don't mind playing what looks like a student project from ITT Tech or Full Sail, then go for it! It also rains trophies.
Happy circle strafing!

I mean there are some good ideas here such as different powers, lots of loot, interesting enemies, etc but good god is this bad. The powers which are these rapid fire balls of light seem to only differ from one another based on color, size, and spread - I can't really tell the difference. Along the same lines the aiming is just ridiculous-pretty much swerve into place to where enemies are in the line of fire.
The dialogue is bad sure but that's actually one of the good things. The protagonist looks like a doofus and talks like he is super bad. Just really strange choice there but it can be entertaining.
The loot is interesting in that what you find can be worn such as belts, amulets, rings, armor, helmets, etc. And you can assign various gems you find to make them more powerful such as increasing strength, dexterity, green power, etc.
Which reminds me of the stats and difficulty-there is absolutely no reason to upgrade anything other than strength because there are very little times where you need to worry about dexterity (defense-lol!) and vitality. Strength raises overall attack power so there is no need to worry about increasing stats in Green, Blue, or Red.
Anyway-if you want to waste an afternoon doing something go outside but if it's raining-I guess you can play this? The campaign only lasts 3-6 hours btw-so it's a short torture.

Devin Hester earns more praise from WR coach Darryl Drake
BY MARK POTASH firstname.lastname@example.com July 27, 2012 10:34PM
Receivers coach Darryl Drake insists that Devin Hester (23) needs the ball. "If he doesn't have more than 26 [catches], we failed him," he said. | Nam Y. Huh~AP
The Bears got their first scare of camp when WR Devin Hester suffered a slight ankle sprain after a catch downfield on which he was nicked by S Major Wright. Hester left the field gingerly after the play but returned moments later and made a catch in another drill. ''You're going to get a few bumps and bruises in training camp, even on non-padded days, when you fall like that,'' coach Lovie Smith said. ''But he got up, finished practice, so he should be good to go.''
DT Brian Price, acquired from the Buccaneers for a seventh-round draft pick Thursday, underwent a physical and didn't practice. Even though he passed, he will have to practice for three days without pads before he can participate with pads. That means his first day of full practice would be Wednesday.
After two days of non-padded practice, the Bears will practice in earnest at 7 p.m. Saturday. J'Marcus Webb vs. Chris Williams and other areas of interest finally will be worth watching.
Saturday: 7 p.m.
Sunday: 2 p.m.
Monday: No practice

Updated: August 29, 2012 12:28PM
BOURBONNAIS — It's that time of year.
''Devin Hester [has improved] in every possible way,'' Bears wide receivers coach Darryl Drake said, calling Hester the Bears' most improved receiver. ''Route running, everything. You just see it in everything he does right now. He understands it totally.
''If you watched him in practice today, I mean, how many times did he get covered? You know what I'm saying? There's just a difference.''
The notion that Devin Hester is ready for a breakout season as a wide receiver has become as much a rite of Bears training camp as the rookie sensation or the high-profile position battle.
''This is an offense that fits me,'' Hester said. ''My biggest thing is when I catch the ball, to accelerate and make guys miss. That's my biggest goal this year: When I get my hands on the ball, I want to just explode out and make two or three guys miss before I go down. If it's only two out there, I want to score.''
All he has to do is do it. Hester has proved his harshest critics wrong by becoming a productive NFL wide receiver since making the transition to offense at the end of the 2007 season. He had 51, 57 and 40 receptions from 2008 to '10, with 10 total touchdowns. But he has yet to become the No. 1 pass-catching threat worthy of the four-year, $40 million contract extension ($15 million guaranteed) he held out of camp for in 2008.
Last year, Hester had just 26 receptions for 369 yards (14.2 per catch) and one touchdown, a drop in production that Drake implied was a product of Mike Martz's offense.
''If he doesn't have more than 26 [this season], we failed him,'' Drake said. ''The only time he had 26 was when? Last year. We didn't throw it to him. Whose fault is that? It wasn't his. You've got to give him the ball.''
Drake's faith in Hester is so strong that he admits to a personal bias.
''I'm prejudiced when it comes to Devin, and you guys know that,'' he told reporters. ''But I did see a lot of improvement out of him in a lot of areas.''
That might be so, but we've heard that refrain before in the offseason and training camp.
In 2008: ''He has as good a pair of hands as anybody,'' Drake said. ''His natural ability to run after the catch is unbelievable. He has not dropped a ball in any of these [offseason] practices. He's just so far ahead right now it's unbelievable.''
In 2009: ''He has improved in all facets, from route running to understanding concepts, understanding defenses,'' Drake said. ''In every possible aspect of the position he has really grown.''
In 2010: ''It's on a whole different level now,'' Hester said. ''I've got a swag now. This is going to be my breakout year. I'm going to shock a lot of people.''
In 2011: ''He's a lot more fluid and really distinct in his routes,'' Drake said. ''He's just playing. He understands [the system] a lot better. He works extremely hard, and as long as he continues to do that, everything will take care of itself.''
It didn't quite work out. Hester was less productive in the second year of Martz's offense than he was in the first. But Hester still believes he benefitted by learning Martz's offense.
''Coach Martz helped me out — not only him, but the players he previously coached, Isaac [Bruce], those guys,'' Hester said. ''I really trained with those guys and kind of understand what it takes to be a receiver in the NFL. That really helped.''
So maybe this will be the year that Hester puts it all together and has the breakout season he has been seeking. It's all up to Mike Tice, Jeremy Bates and Jay Cutler now.
''When you've got a great, great player, you've got to feed him,'' Drake said. ''If Michael Jordan never touched the ball, he'd have problems. You've got to give him the ball. [Hester's] getting the ball and feeling really good about things right now.''

George Clooney's girlfriend Sarah Larson helped model the new Ashley Paige swimsuits last night during LA Fashion Week. If you don't recognize Sarah, it's because her resume includes Vegas cocktail waitress and Fear Factor contestant. But now Sarah's career is taking off as she enjoys her current role as George Clooney's boobless arm candy. Good for her. But now, seriously, George, what do you have against breasts? Your mother was a cold woman, wasn't she? Hmm, yes, I can tell. Never had time for little George did she now? No, always preoccupied with culinary pursuits and, judging by your after shave, haberdashing. Fly, fly, Mr. Clooney. Fly fly.
George Clooney: That's all mine. Jealous? C'mon, say yes.
@96- Well said.
@91- Read 96. Its not about chest size – its the fact that there is nothing about her that would indicate that she is female. Aside from her face she's pretty much a dude. Sorry.
Actually, scratch the "aside from her face comment. I realize now that its also pretty mannish.
She looks like a pound puppy.
I think she looks gorgeous – they make a hot couple.
Whatever. Her body is fine. Fantastic long legs, no belly and no jiggle, and her small boobs allow her to look great in any outfit. It's the outfits, the makeup and the "runway model" expressions on her face that make her look weird. She's got the kind of body that would look so hot in nice jeans and heels, with a sexy top. Yes, she's all wrong for a playboy spread or a porno movie, but if she's good enough for George Fucking Clooney, nuff said.
To #102:
That may be what you are focusing on, but that doesn't mean there were not certain comments posted here solely putting down the fact that she has a flat chests – and that was what I was focusing on.
Damn, this is a white girl, well now time for the white girl namecalling like you did when there was a black girl on the other blog. Comeon, let"s hear it. Not one real honky or white bitch with a stick ass. Let's be fair!!!!
Leave her alone. So the girl has no boobs. Big deal. Can't a girl be natural anymore without having to walk around with oversized silicone watermelons stuffed into her body? If the author of this piece is a male, how about getting some penile implants for our pleasure? If you're a woman, well then…..try not to let the claws of the green eyed monster called jealously rear it's ugliness because she managed to snag him and not you.
#96 and #102. It's the same thing, how on earth can she change her waist to hip ratio or her breast size and how is that her fault. Now if she is anorexic then she has a medical problem but, it's still nothing to laugh at. However I knew girls her size that ate like horses and they were so insecure about their bodies, they had beautiful faces and the model look but, it was so hard for them to have straight figures and it made them feel like they weren't good enough. It's hard for a woman to be built like this, the only solution is dangerous plastic surgery and if less women did it you'd see that it's fairly common and normal to be built like this. I expect these comments form guys with all their porno and treating women like fuck toys but, from girls come on now you all have flaws why rip on other girls when you know it hurts you to be ripped on. Kitty Kat I believe you are a tall girl how about when girls say that being very tall is manly and that women are supposed to be petite and dainty. I don't subscribe to that way of thinking but, I've seen you get pissed over it.
Real women don't have curves, some women have curves and some don't and they're all real. As long as a woman is healthy it's all good and you can't always judge by looking at someone if they are healthy or not.
Bottom line is many girls automatically rip on a girl this size because they instantly (subconsciously) think, hey she wouldn't have to second guess eating fries and a burger like I do. I HATE HER. Even if she's too slim for your taste you can't deny that her lack of fat is frustrating to women who worry about their body fat day in and day out.
This may be the superficial but, you all need to chill the fuck out. Now if some of you women are the hottest things on earth, which I highly doubt you are, then go spread your legs on the cover of a mag and be a beauty whore, whore out your looks, live off of them, treat people who weren't born with hotness like shit and live a shallow worthless life. Or shut the fuck up and start focusing on something other than your looks and realize that you really can't have an ego about something you were born with but, you can have pride about your accomplishments, if they aren't based of vain shallow bullshit.
yeah she's hideous.
#2. Kitty I'm sure you are.
She has extra skin down younder'! Ewww…..tuck it in your bathing suit next time!
She's okay. Nice slim body, but she has an okay face…not beautiful.
She's much prettier than in these pictures. but, is she half chinese?
#110, that was beautiful. And honestly people…picking on a model? Come on, get a life.
"…Kitty Kat I believe you are a tall girl how about when girls say that being very tall is manly and that women are supposed to be petite and dainty. I don't subscribe to that way of thinking but, I've seen you get pissed over it.
Real women don't have curves, some women have curves and some don't and they're all real…"
Never did I say that
Sarah Larson
Someone mentioned that you met on the famous online service sugarmatchmaker, a club for rich men/celebrits to seek rich men ? True or not??
skinny, dull, with ugly shoes.
Oops! Sorry! Didn't finish my post but it got posted anyway.

I'm oddly flattered that you remember that I'm tall :). Never did I say that she was not a real woman, I merely said that I personally found her mannish. I find her facial features masculine. She does not have to be a DDD or anything, or have a huge behind a la Kim Kardashian, but SOME curves would be nice. I respect your points though.
I blame the stylists of this show — look at photo #8! Her double sided tape is stranded on her left boob. Also, that spidery looking crap in her hair in the first few photos is just plain weird.
I have to side with the opinion here that George likes her very nice and sweet personality, though she is a solid "OK" in the looks department. Maybe he just wants to be sure he is prettier than his date.
Here's an interesting read from someone who knows her…
Wow, I'm impressed with how unimpressive she is. No, not ugly, but definetly not exactly beautiful enough to pull a mega star like Clooney either. All that being said, I think Clooney is a douche & not very attractive himself.
She looks beautiful. I love her. Is she single now? I saw her profile on millionaire&celeb dating site "WealthyRomance.com" last week. Just curious!
@ 110
just what i was thinking! reading your post made me so happy to know there's people like you out there
Jealous? Of what????????
In the white tank top pictures…. a lot of her stomach area is effected by the lighting… shadows and whanot… and the only reason shadows can form on her tummy in these pics is: Her posture and the fact that she is TONED in her stomach. She actually has evidence of muscles, or at least some FORM. It is not just flat and it is definitely not FAT. dumbass.
She's a little above average but that is offset by her flat chest. She has the breasts of a 10 year old girl. Is Clooney into pedophilia?
wow, just downgrade her because she doesn't have implants…
Fuck! So she's small chested- so what? Her boobs are real, proportionate, and if she ever has kids, she'll be able to breastfeed, which is what nature intended. Fuck all you assholes who determine what a woman should look like!!!!!!!
I thought everyone knew that Clooney liked boys. Even ones in shiny silver dresses!
go pat. i love you.
wow. oh no. someone who doesnt have fake tits… get over it.. shes beautiful … the girls hating probably have big boobs but only because theyre fat .. fat and big tits isnt hot. dont show then off. makes me wana throw up
Those boobs would be proportionate for a prepubescent child. I'm usually against implants, but in this case…………
I'm going to use try to use 'fly fly' at some point today.
She looks like a dog that's ready for battle.
her eyes tell us that she knows she's hot… even for a little boy.
Thanks for the great pics
I'm glad she Hasn't had breast implants – nice to see some normal tits – I sometimes wish I hadn't had any. Not because of breastfeeding (perfectly possible #131), but because they distort everything you wear over them and make it hard to sleep on your front. And that's the normal ones, not the freaky stripper ones.
She has thighs, she has hips. I can't see the deal about her figure here. We're living in this weird world where no one under 30 can remember a time when being fat was freaky, not being thin. OK, she looks like a horse, but I look like baboon in a bonnet, so what can I say?
idiot website same old news
Here are some candid photos of Sarah
I'm so sick about George Clooney and his media-friendly fake girlfriend.
Lets try this again .
Nine.com girls are women hired by online gaming outfits to entertain customers. Need I say more?
Larson claimed she made 200K a year cocktail waitressing. There must have been cock and tail involved but not much waitressing.
Being flat chested and not having implants does not automatically make someone classy. I think Paris Hilton already proved that.
#144 – hahaha
This tranny got to meet Clooney while "working" and all poor Ashley Dupre got was Spitzer.
Christ, she's fat…..
She is cute and sexy. She is also my favorite. I saw her profile on millionaire&celeb dating site "SeekingRich.com"
last week. It is said she is dating a young billionaire on that site now.
How funny. I am wearing the exact same top as her (not the bikini, the white tank) although it looks much better on her, and I highly doubt she got hers from JC Penney..
At least I can say I have better tits than her and my eyebrows don't look like two dead caterpillars on my face. So there ya go.
she looks healthy and athletic which = sexy.
fake boobs, plastic surgery, implants are not.

I love this kind of prank. I would love to see a translation into English of the conversation between the lecturer and the student.

Tips for the Phone Interview from an Alumni!
Hey, I know many people are nervous about their Phone interview. I posted this on the Facebook group but will post it here for others as well! Here are my tips for the phone interview!
1. Schedule it during a time that works best for you! If you aren't a morning person don't schedule it before your 9 am class! I think it is best to find a time where you will have at least an hour before hand to relax and unwind, you don't want to have to sprint back from class to your room to do the phone interview. They may call from a "Blocked" number so be prepared for that. Also don't panic if they call late, each time mine was 15 mins late.
2. Find a quiet location. Tell your roommates/suitemates you are doing a phone interview ahead of time and cannot be bothered, maybe ask that they let you have the room to yourself so you wont feel self conscious. My first phone interview I did sitting in my car because I wanted no distractions. My other I did alone in my room. If you can't find a space to be alone, check out career services at your campus, they may have a conference room you can reserve to use.
3. Practice some of the potential interview questions! Try to think of answers that elaborate a little bit, don't be tempted to just give answers like "Yeah that is fine" or "No I never had to do that". You need to give examples and elaborate your answers.
4. Relax and SMILE! Your interviewer will usually be very friendly and upbeat because they want to put you at ease! They know you are nervous, but when you smile they can really hear it in your voice.
5. Don't panic if the interviewer is very quiet. They have to type everything you say, don't worry about the awkward silence when you finish your answer, you don't need to keep talking to fill the silence.
6. If you find yourself stumbling over your words or forget the question, just take a deep breath, maybe say something like "I'm sorry I've said all this in hopes of answering your question, which I have now forgotten!" and try to laugh it off. The interviewer knows that you are nervous and will repeat the question for you!
7. Most important is to be honest and be yourself! This is your chance to really sell yourself and let your personality shine through!
8. At the end they will ask you if there is anything else you would like to add or have any questions. This is the time to make location requests, if you are unsure of how to phrase this you can say "While I would glady work anywhere, If I got attractions I would really love to work at Tower or Terror". They will make a note of it in your file. I also think for any interview you should have at least one question at the end! If you really don't have any you can say something like "I don't think I have any questions because I have done a lot of research on the program and talked with former participants"
I hope this helps and calms some of your nerves! Good Luck!!

Thanks for all of your tips! I have an interview on Valentines Day at 7:15 pm and am applying for the DL CP. This will be my third time and my first interview went very well, she offered lots of advice and asked questions about my fav role, my preferred living situation (studio or shared room) and when I had questions at the end, she was very patient in answering them. My second interview was much shorter, she said since I didn't choose roles other than hospitality type ones that my chances would be slimmer and I def felt less prepared and it showed. Both times I was waitlisted and denied the last week. Hopefully I'll get in this time (I'm MUCH older than other hopeful CP'ers but the first recruiter said that age was not an issue, they had ones on the program in ranging in ages up to 70!)
I do have a question for you though - you mentioned the files section of this page in your post. Where is that at? I would like to practice some interview questions. Thanks!

Thank you so much for posting your tips! So helpful!!
I'm starting to get nervous and my phone interview isn't until Friday, yikes!! I'm still mostly excited though! I will definitely start practicing answers for these questions. Also, I appreciate the heads up for the silence that may happen, I'm a person who hates awkward silences, so I'll know to just keep my mouth shut rather than keep talking! Thanks again!!

Excellent list of questions and tips! I'd honestly add if you feel like you're stumbling over your words or just speaking too fast, take a deep breath, and reassess the situation picking up where you last left off. You typically have 15-20 minutes, so absolutely no rush whatsoever.
I'd definitely have a few more specific ones to add, but it's never going to be all-inclusive.
Have a Magnificently Magical Day!

Some of the News That's Fit to Print
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Because The New York Times' (NYT) business is cataclysmically bad in two obvious areas, newspapers and rudderlessness, it's easy for the media to ignore two additional areas of concern. And ignore, they did.
First off, the reeling company trumpeted the prospect of a full-throttled comeback in the fading About.com division. Considering the competiveness of the field and other issues including changes in Google's search formula, the chance of a meaningful turnaround seems tenuous at best. Meanwhile, the Times is pouring money into the division, at a pace that will only increase as the year wears on. This is a big risk, but one all but ignored by most of the media.
In New York Times coverage of New York Times Company earnings, for example, they failed to make a single mention of About.com, much less touch upon its possible standing as a trapdoor. Instead, they stuck to the obvious: weakness in newspaper advertising and the current lack of a CEO.
Just as bad, The Wall Street Journal (NWS), and most other media outlets, failed to offer up a caveat to the paid subscriber numbers the Times touted. The Times currently has well over 300,000 digital subscribers. Digital subscriptions have served the company well in that they have stemmed the pace of circulation cancellations. But how much good will it do past that? Traders can't be certain, because the Times does not tell us how many of those subscribers basically pay nothing (the 99 cent promotional rate) or have the digital subscription free, thanks to getting the paper delivered.If they are adding new readers willing to pay decent rates, that's good. If not, it's not so good. That the Times refuses to breakdown the numbers is not a good sign, especially because they pulled just the same stunt more than a half decade ago to mask the poor condition of its Times Select paid-subscription policy. Those who ignore history are bound to--eh, you know the rest.

My husband was arrested back in October and indicted on 2 felony drug charges. He pled not guilty (rightfully so he had no knowledge of associates harboring drugs, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time). Flash forward to Feb 2011, 2 weeks before he was scheduled to go to trial the Prosecution motioned to dismiss his charges. The motion to dismiss was signed off by the judge and entered into his court docket. Ok, so why is it 72 hours later and he's still in custody. I called the jail they say his charges still show open and he still scheduled to go to trial on 2/28? WTF? Maybe I'm being anxious but I'm ready for him to come HOME NOW! He's already given them 4 months for a crime he did not commit... what is the process in AZ? I'm not familiar with it? Why is he still in custody?
Mr. Barrow is absolutely right. Although I suspect (and hope) that he has been rolled out by now.
You might also try calling the court where the case was dismissed and asking them to fax the paperwork over to the jail again.
You absolutely need to call his attorney. The State could've also dismissed without prejudice to add charges or reinidict. If so, it will show as dismissed on the court website. But, knew charges could already be in place. Your husband's attorney is in the best position to look into this for.
Talk to his attorney now. He wasn't "pro per," own his own, with two felony drug charges. That attoney need to get into court and have the court order him released. Writing a question on this forum is not the correct thing to do. If he had the PD, call their office. If he had a private attorney call them, now.
