But seriously, this issue is devoted almost entirely to personal security, business security, and spying, and I must say the writing is terrific. If you’re an Internet geek, (like me), you have to play around with the Junior Varsity Resource Guide on page 13, just turn your “accept cookies” browser function OFF before you start snooping around. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS.

And if playing with high-tech toys isn’t enough, I bet (you guys) are dying to know how that front cover photo session went. Phew! Please take note that the cover model is MODE’s Account Executive Julie Fasick. Julie also appears on page 15 in the Headstart Salon before and after ad. Headstart owner Wendy Novak was instrumental in preparing Julie for the shoot, and our heartfelt thanks go out to her. She is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with.

Finally most of the gadgets, Julie’s catsuit and ankle boots were all loaned or discounted from various venues, all of which we researched on the Internet. Please read the “About This Issue” section. We are immensely thankful to those companies and individuals that made this issue possible. It was a lot more work than it looks like. Kudos to all of our writers for an outstanding job... again.

Finally, don’t forget to fill out your Shameless Survey on page 23, you could win a $600 Romantic Getaway Weekend to FELICITA. Please, help us out.
