Oliver Barton is at the Airport Part 3Mature
"Sir..." an airline uniform in his mid thirties called out.
I glanced up at the window and in the reflection I could see one of the gate employees was trying to get my attention. I had heard him a few times already but chose not to respond with the hope that he would go away.
"Sir, are you waiting for a flight?" He queried as he approached and asserted himself dangerously close to my three foot bubble.
I guess it was obvious that I had no business being in that airport, I wondered how obvious it was that I just got dumped by my girlfriend of 4 years. I decided given the circumstances, the last place you want to sulk is in an airport terminal; also, I could tell this particular gate employee cared a little too much about his miserable fuck job to just leave me alone.
"Yeah, I was just leaving." I managed to say without making eye contact with him, it was as though I was talking to myself. I got up and gathered my stuff and walked passed him without acknowledging his presence. I could tell he saw things going down differently as I heard him directing questions toward me even as I walked off. I decided not to take the conveyer belt expressway this time around, I could use the time to think, plus I imagined a scenario which began with me finally finding it appropriate to mount the opposite conveyer belt, and ended with AR-15 rifles pointed at my head and latex clad fingers up my ass.
Much to the relief of the airport security staff I exited the security checkpoint and made my way to the door. I was certain given my failure to comply with the man in the terminal they were surveying me to ensure I left without causing an incident in the airport. I confirmed this by looking up and being met with solid eye contact from a few of the Homeland security agents as I passed through. Later on I realized that for about 10 minutes I must have been considered a threat to national security; for some reason this pleased me.
I walked out the front doors and started looking for an empty cab. I saw some people getting dropped off about a hundred feet down and managed to flag the driver before he took off. Even though I was technically functional, my head was still buzzing from the shock of what had happen only a couple of hours earlier. When the driver asked me where I wanted to go, I had absolutely no idea. For some reason going home didn't seem right. What I really wanted was to go to a pub and get drunk alone like the do in the movies, then maybe I could even meet a sage-like bartender who could help give me perspective and guidance. I wasn't very familiar with the bar scene so I thought I could describe this feeling to the cab driver then see what he recommended, before I could speak I realized this was surely an effort in futility unless I spoke fluent Korean, so I instructed him to drive toward The City while I made a phone call.
I flipped open my phone and started looking through my contact list, I had no idea who I was going to call since I technically didn't have any "friends" in San Francisco. I technically didn't have any friends in Chicago either, but you don't really need any when you're in a long-term relationship. The only name that made sense was to call Allen, a co-worker of mine who seemed to be quite the social butterfly. He was actually one of the project managers at the company, which made him sort of a boss, but we ended up having lunch together a few times and he seemed like a cool guy so I thought I'd give it a try.
As my finger moved toward the send button, I realized the fact that he was the only person at work with whom I had connected on a personal level wasn't going to make this any less awkward. As the phone rang my mind sped through about a thousand different possible scenarios and nearly caused me to hang up immediately, but he answered too quickly.
"Hello... Oliver?" He said as I searched for the words to respond to such a difficult greeting.
"Allen, hey, uh... what's going on?" I answered inanely, smacking my forehead with the palm of my hand.
"Not a lot man, just getting ready to meet up with the guys." He replied forgiving the awkwardness of my question, "Hey I thought you were going back to Chicago tonight, shouldn't you be on a plane?" he asked.
I forgot I had mentioned to him I would be leaving work early to catch my plane when we talked at lunch. I realized it was probably inappropriate to share with him my news of the day so I came up with the next best thing to the truth.
"Um, yeah, flight, was... canceled, the plane broke, they said there wouldn't be another flight until tomorrow morning." I lied, rather poorly I may add. "Anyway I was thinking since I would be in town tonight I would grab a drink..." I realized how ridiculous I would sound if I said I intended to go alone, "and... I was wondering if you wanted to join me." I said, so focused on speaking in a calm, cool tone and so impressed with myself for my quick thinking, that I didn't realize at first how gay it sounded, and second that he may actually accept my invitation.
He apologized for my misfortune at the airport and invited me to go out for some drinks with he and some office friends, adding the ominous phrase, "... if you're up for it." I wasn't up for anything, I wanted to sulk in a bar and drink cheap shots of bourbon all night, and find my sage and tell him all about my problems.
"Sure, if that's cool with you guys--" I said, but before I could finish the sentence he assured me it was fine and told me to be at his place as soon as I could. His welcoming personality made him easy to get along with and hard to say no to, although I can only assume with as much alcohol as he was planning on consuming tonight, it didn't really matter who came along. I gave the cab driver the address, it would be another twenty minutes before we got to Allen's condo, I figured I would take that time to reflect on what had happened today, before putting it aside for the rest of the night.
I don't believe in fairy tales, but what Elle and I had was pretty close. We met while in college over a summer in which we both stayed in our small university town to take summer courses. I was at a coffee shop doing some classwork when I saw a slim figure in a white dress sitting down at the table opposite me. Instantly smitten, I eventually got up the nerve to say something to her, it was a simple invitation to dinner, half shouted across the room. She was surprised and embarrassed, but she accepted and we never looked back.
While that dinner was perhaps the most awkward either of us had ever experienced, it set the tone for the fairy tale foundation upon which our relationship flourished; pure and untarnished by any pre-existing, complicated circumstances. It was a perfect love. It stood in stark contrast to the alternatives: meeting a girl at a bar, or sneaking around with someone's girlfriend, having to deal with the stress of choosing between multiple partners and the doubt of what might have been.
Those tainted circumstances stayed with you forever, it was baggage that planted seeds of pain and resentment which would weigh down a relationship until either partner lost the strength to go on. Then you realize you've spent the last half decade of your life with a person for whom you feel nothing but resentment and frustration; it was the foundation of a tragic love story. Ours, on the other hand, was a love destined for happily ever after, we were free of our past, solid in our foundation, and looking toward our future together. Well we were certainly moving in that direction until tonight.
Thinking about it was only taking me further from a logical resolution so I did my best to shake those thoughts loose and leave them for later. It was just in time as the cab driver pulled off to the side and informed me we were at Allen's building. After a little trouble figuring out how to actually get inside (which required another awkward phone call to Allen) I got off the elevator and found his door and went inside; he had instructed me that it was unlocked. I was impressed with his home, it was clean, well decorated, simple, and uncluttered. I reckoned he didn't have a single ornament or decoration that could fit into a one cubic foot box, and everything seemed to have a functional purpose. He was certainly a man of fine taste, I can appreciate that.
He greeted me from the kitchen and asked me to join him. I walked in and was surprised to see two rows of shot glasses lined up, filled to the brim with a transparent brownish liquid. My first instinct, as improbable as it was, was that the shot glasses contained a coffee based liqueur. My suspicion was momentarily confirmed when I identified a bottle of Kahlua on the table, that was until he moved to the side revealing half gallon bottles of cheap vodka, whiskey, gin, and spiced rum.
"What's in the shot glasses?" I inquired warily, already unsure about just how up for this I actually was.
"Primers," he said proudly, "A little concoction I mixed up, my own home made recipe." he clarified, then added, "By the way we're not leaving until these shot glasses are empty, so drink up, we've got to go in about half an hour." I had no intention of drinking whatever the hell was in those shot glasses, but as he spoke his face broke into a smile that was impossible to deny, he was exuding an enthusiasm that would be considered a tragedy to curtail, so reluctantly, I set aside my inhibitions and went along. I hadn't drunk like this since college, and I really didn't drink much then either, but when I thought about it, I decided this was as good a night as any to foray into binge drinking. I took another look at the shot glasses and cringed, I was never any good with shots so I asked him for a chaser, "of course," he said, then he reached into his refrigerator and tossed me a beer.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
Definition - What does Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) mean?
The SCTP protocol is specified by RFC 4960, which updates RFC 2960 and RFC 3309.
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) association is an SCTP endpoint uniquely identified by transport addresses. Only one SCTP association occurs between two endpoints at a time.
Techopedia explains Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
SCTP always transports control chunk packets before DATA chunks, which require 32-bit boundary termination.
SCTP associations are comprised of the following attributes:
- Two SCTP terminals
- Protocol data state
- Active DATA chunk group
SCTP is a transport layer protocol operating through a connectionless packet network. This is an Internet Protocol (IP) for terminal communication regulation.
During transport, SCTP separates and identifies stream and DATA/control chunks as stream identifiers (SIs), stream sequence numbers (SSNs) and transmission sequence numbers (TSNs).
SCTP provides the following features:
- Error-free data transfer
- Sequenced and non-duplicated message delivery
- Optional single packet bundling
- Optional order of arrival delivery for individual messages
- Multihoming support at association endpoints
- Maximum transmission unit (MTU) path size for data fragmentation

Starting a diesel fueled engine in very cold weather can be rather frustrating, and an often critical part of winter emergencies. Imagine being stranded knowing that starting your engine is the only way to stay warm--you'll want to know these tips for starting a Dodge RAM with a diesel engine before getting into that situation. As it turns out, there are several important tips that will keep your Dodge diesel ready to start, even at a cold moment's notice.
Before You Start
The battery is the key to a successful start. Make sure that the battery is in top shape. Most light-moderate duty diesel batteries, as compared to heavy duty semi trucks, are more capable than their gasoline counterparts. Often, batteries designed for diesel applications have a CCA, or "Cold Cranking Amps," rating listed on the case. It is best to balance this number with the longevity of the battery, as batteries with higher amperage ratings often have drastically shorter life spans.
Give your engine a head start with proper lubrication. Lubricate your engine and driveline with dedicated diesel fluids that have lower comparative viscosities, especially in the winter. Engine oils with lower viscosities will offer less flow resistance, thus demanding less energy from the battery to turn the engine fast enough for a successful start.
The best way to combat the cold is with, well, heat. Keep the engine, battery and fuel system warm with their respective heaters. An engine block and battery warmer will keep the engine in a more favorable temperature range for starting. Likewise, using #1 diesel fuel rather than #2, and keeping the tank and fuel lines warm with a fuel system heater, will prevent the fuel from gelling, thus facilitating a successful start. Using glowplugs to warm individual cylinders will also aid in the starting process.
The starter needs all of the resources of the battery as possible to have enough power to start the engine. Turn off all other unnecessary auxiliary items that use battery power. Furthermore, upgraded starter motors and batteries further make the starting process less stressful for the car and the driver.
Attempt to start the engine. If it was successfully winter-proofed with the preceding steps, it should start very easily. Otherwise, the only thing that can really start the motor is a jump from another, more capable battery.
If the engine indeed starts, let it idle for several minutes to warm up the oil and engine components. Cold engine parts are more brittle under high load, and warm oil is more capable of lubricating engine parts further from the oil reservoir.

N.J. transportation chief orders review of NJ Transit Super Bowl logjam
Transportation Commissioner Jim Simpson has directed two NJ Transit board members to look into why thousands of Super Bowl fans who heeded the call to use mass transit to get to the game were left stranded for hours in the Meadowlands.
Board members Bruce Meisel, a Bergen County attorney and founder of First Westwood Realty, and Jamie Finkel, a transportation lawyer, will lead the investigation, Simpson said today.
They will "review everything from planning to the execution of the plan, to the lines at the end of the night and getting everybody out, and what happened, and have a full report in a month," Simpson said. "They're going to be interviewing people, everybody that was involved, whatever the media reports were."
"We want to learn what was NJ Transit's role," Simpson said. "What happened? Obviously the estimates were blown on the ridership."
The NJ Transit review marks the second case this year in which Governor Christie's administration is conducting an internal probe about a transportation debacle. In January, the administration hired Randy Mastro, a high-powered attorney to conduct a review of the lane closures at the George Washington Bridge and to coordinate with the investigations being conducted by the U.S. Attorney's office in Newark and the state Legislature.
Just days before the Feb. 2 game at MetLife Stadium, an NJ Transit spokesman told The Record that projections called for 12,000 customers to take the NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail Line service from the Secaucus Junction station to MetLife. That represented a 50 percent increase from the typical 8,000 people that take the train to a normal Jets or Giants home game.
But by 4 p.m., well before kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday, the agency learned that more than 27,000 people had taken the train to the game. The number of customers at Secaucus Junction swelled so high that at 2 p.m., thousands got stuck in a massive human logjam. Many complained of feeling trapped, sick from the heat and panicked.
After the game, the Meadowlands rail line was unable to accommodate the crush of people trying to leave the stadium at the same time. That left thousands stranded on platforms where several reported they were not allowed to leave.
Simpson said he wants to know why the agency didn't anticipate at least as many people would be taking the train home, and have a plan to accommodate them on the Meadowlands Link – the short train line that runs from Secaucus Junction station to the station in the Meadowlands outside MetLife Stadium.
"Once we knew there were 27,000 people that took the train, why did we continue going down the same path. It seems there was no plan B," he said. He said there were as many as 300 buses waiting to transport fans, but went unused. He said he wants to know if that was due to security or a lack of space at the stadium to bring the buses in.
Simpson said NJ Transit's management wanted to launch their own investigation, but he said that was not appropriate. "Management investigating itself - that's not appropriate."
As state transportation commissioner, Simpson chairs the NJ Transit board. The agency's executive director, Jim Weinstein, who reports to Simpson, has taken a public lashing over the handling of transportation for the game – which was New Jersey's main role in the regional event.
Asked what Weinstein's role will be in the investigation, Simpson said, "Weinstein's role will be to answer any questions that the committee has."
Simpson said he expects a report in a month that he wants made public. He said he expects it to be detailed enough that it might eliminate the need for any other probes. State Sen. Bob Gordon, chairman of the state Senate's Legislative Oversight Committee, announced last week that he will be looking into NJ Transit's handling of the Super Bowl as part of state hearings that originally targeted NJ Transit's handling of state assets during Super Storm Sandy.
NJ Transit failed to move nearly 400 pieces of equipment to higher ground as the storm approached New Jersey. As a result, hundreds of pieces of equipment that had been left in low-lying, flood-prone rail yards in Hoboken and Kearny were flooded in Sandy's surge, costing $120 million in damage. Weinstein said the rail equipment wasn't moved because he never expected the yards to flood.
Gordon said Monday that he's pleased NJ Transit is looking into the problems, but said he is moving forward with the Oversight Committee's investigation.
"I think the legislature has a constitutional obligation to exercise oversight over the executive branch," Gordon said. And while Simpson said he doesn't believe there is a conflict in having NJ Transit board members look into the Super Bowl issues, Gordon said he "is a bit leery of the executive branch investigating itself."
"If we're learning anything in recent weeks, this is an administration in which there seems to be tight control over everything that goes on and as much as it's good to have a number of investigations going on from different perspectives, I'm just leery of this administration investigating itself, even it's from a higher level from the department, or from the board. I think this is the sort of thing that really should be investigated by the State Auditor, but short of that we have a legislative oversight committee and I think this an the appropriate vehicle."
Simpson said NJ Transit police will also be part of the internal probe. Five NJ Transit employees went to New Orleans a year ago to observe the Super Bowl at a cost of more than $15,000 last year. Among them were Police officials Robert Gatchell and Pat Clark, who was part of security during the Super Bowl. Gatchell was also part of the emergency management planning during Sandy.
Simpson said he will probably be interviewed, too, but doesn't expect customers to be called in.
"The video and the pictures speak for themselves," said Simpson. "I think there is enough on the social media out there that the committee can see how the riders felt."

Each year, companies waste billions of dollars in marketing collateral costs by confusing sales messaging with other messaging types.
Consider the following:
- Eighty to 90 percent of marketing collateral is considered useless by sales (American Marketing Association).
- The bigger cost of confusing sales messaging with other messaging types is lost revenue. Poor sales messaging inevitably leads to lower win rates and lost sales.
- Another big contributor to lost revenue and higher costs is the amount of time sales teams spend creating the sales messaging and tools they need to succeed.Add it all up and you get a $40+ billion a year problem for corporations in America and around the world.The good news? Innovative companies that implement great sales messaging routinely see a 15 to 25 percent improvement in market share, revenue and net income.
- Sales Messaging Defined Messaging involves the information you use to position your company, products and services in the minds of the people you are trying to influence. It includes brand, company, product, market, application and sales messaging.
- Sales messaging is the fuel on which all your sales and marketing engines run. The better the fuel, the better the performance. At its core, sales messaging is persuasive. It provides compelling and persuasive answers to your customer's primary buying questions, such as, "Why should I meet with you? Why should I buy this? Why should I buy this from you?" More important, sales messaging delivers these messages at the appropriate point in the product life cycle and sales cycle.
- Company messaging is descriptive rather than persuasive. It describes what your company does, your capabilities, the products and services you offer, the markets you serve and the applications or solutions you provide. Done well, it describes the value that people receive by doing business with your firm. Company messaging is typically the content you see in a company brochure or website.
- Product messaging is a subset of company messaging. It describes what the product does and how it does it. It also includes a listing of features, benefits and specifications. Done well, product messaging describes the value someone would receive by buying. It is what you typically see in a product brochure. In my experience, most market and application messaging is implemented as a variation of product messaging.
- Brand messaging is usually the tagline associated with your company logo. Ideally, brand messaging creates a Pavlovian association between your company name and tagline. The goal of branding is to create awareness and consideration in your market.No conversation about messaging would be complete without mentioning the value proposition. Most value propositions are a variation on company messaging. They usually consist of a one- or two-line description about what your company does and the value someone would receive by doing business with your company.Some people may consider value propositions to be a messaging type, but in my experience they are usually more informal. They are created by the sales organization at the point of need, and are used in voice mails, e-mails and meetings. Rarely are they documented and leveraged as a corporate messaging asset like the other messaging types.
- Collateral Messaging Audit How do you know whether your sales and marketing organization suffers from bad messaging? Conduct a quick collateral audit.Start by having your marketing department collect all the collateral materials and tools they created and ask sales three questions about each piece:
- Where do you use this in your sales process?
- How useful is it in helping you sell?
- How much time do you spend creating messaging and tools you need to successfully sell?To determine how much money you are wasting on bad messaging, multiply your total marketing collateral expenditures by the percentage of collateral your sales team considers useless. If your firm is like most, sales will consider 50 percent or more of the collateral to be useless.Once you know the difference between effective and useless sales collateral, create a plan for implementing great sales messaging. Let your competitors continue to make the expensive mistake of confusing sales messaging with other types of messaging, while you become one of the companies that increase market share, revenue and net income by 15 to 25 percent.

I was watching the medical show, "Mental" tonight.
To sum it up: A girl tried to commit suicide. They later find out she was born with a penis and testicles but the doctor was new and when trying to circumcise her he somehow snipped her penis off. So the dad decided to make her genitals female and as she grew up gave her constant estrogen and had her mutilated penis and testicles go away and put an artificial vagina in it's place.
So they do a whole bunch of shit

Yesterday I was in the vein of Capitalism, New York City (not the Heart since I was not by Wall Street) on a class trip. I saw Time Square, I felt the corruption oozing into my soul. It was "Fleet Week" so the Imperialist pigs of the Navy was on the streets. About 41 passed my group and many more were swarming by. Every time our group went and thanked them. I will admit, due to the corruption of NYC I did shake 3 of their hands.

Professional Football Player. For eleven seasons (1955 to 1957 and 1959 to 1965), he played at the linebacker, fullback and halfback positions in the National Football League with then Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons. Born Lawrence Cleo Morris, he attended Boys High School in Georgia and Georgia Tech University. While with the Yellow Jackets, he lettered in baseball and football. In the latter, Morris distinguished himself as he earned All-American status and was a two-time All-Conference honoree while playing the linebacker position. During his years at Georgia Tech, his teams were participants in the Cotton, Sugar and Orange Bowls. He graduated with a degree in Industrial Management from the school. He was selected by the Rams during the 1st-round (7th overall pick) during the 1955 NFL Draft and appeared in 124 regular season games. Morris may perhaps be best remembered for his play-making during the 1963 NFL Title Game, in which he delivered a blow to the knee of Giants' quarterback Y.A. Tittle causing detrimental results. Additionally, he intercepted a pass from the Giants' quarterback and ran it back for which set up a Bears' touchdown. His efforts earned him Game MVP honors as the Bears captured the league championship. He concluded his career with his hometown team the Atlanta Falcons and had the distinction of being on their roster during their NFL inaugural year of 1966. After retiring from football he had a fruitful career within the insurance and real estate industries. Additionally, he was a participant in the political arena as he served a term in the Georgia State Legislature. Morris was named to the Georgia Tech University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1959 and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1992. He died of complications from dementia after many years of declining health. His condition was attributed to his football career. Following Morris' death, his family donated his brain to Boston University for research to determine the affects from football on former players.

Unstoppable Nadal marches on in Paris
By Julien Pretot
PARIS (Reuters) - Rafa Nadal once again showed he is the man to beat at the French Open after putting down a brief rebellion from Argentine Leonardo Mayer to win 6-2 7-5 6-2 and reach the fourth round despite a sore back on Saturday.
Mayer went for his shots in a tense second set and broke the world No.1 back for 4-4, only for the Spaniard to regain control in commanding fashion.
"It is for me very emotional thing when I am on (court Philippe) Chatrier, a lot of memories come to my mind," said Nadal, who made only 10 unforced errors with just two coming in a masterful opening set.
One moment that may live long in the memory occurred in the second set when the defending champion recovered after being wrongfooted by Mayer to pull off a perfect backhand lob to break decisively for a 6-5 lead.
He followed up with a game to love, sealing the set with a jaw-dropping forehand passing shot before steaming through the third and ending the contest with a service winner.
In the aftermath, Nadal revealed he was suffering with back pains, but would not be drawn on the details.
"Well, I'd rather not talk about my back. I'll play as best as I can. I'll put up a good fight to try and win," he said.
Nadal next faces Serbian Dusan Lajovic, who beat American Jack Sock 6-4 7-5 6-3 and, like the Spaniard, has yet to drop a set. Continued...

WEB Site
Originally the Class of 82 WEB site was put together so we could manage and promote the 30 year reunion. However, now that the reunion is over we feel that this site can still serve a purpose. We can use it for promoting other events, for keeping track of classmates wherabouts (so that 10 years from now we don't go through the same hell that we just went through), for paying tribute to those classmates who are no longer with us and for reminding us how goofy we looked back in high school and how much more distinguished (aka OLDER) we look today through the photo galleries.
To keep this site going will require some financial support so we are looking for donations as well as anyone that would like to assist in maintaining it. To provide a donation simpley go to the "
" tab and follow the instructions. Ideally I was thinking something like $10 a year, but if you want to give more we'll take it. Once we have enough to renew our site we can always use the additional funds to help support future reunions or even give something back to the school in our name.
In any case I hope everyone enjoyed this site and will continue to visit it in the future.
Classmates Profile
Please make sure we have your current contact information by filling out a Classmate Bio or emailing

RHESSys = Regional Hydrological and Ecological Simulation System
RHESSys combines the terrestrial ecosystem process model Biome-BGC with spatially explicit meteorological information from MTCLIM or Daymet and the TOPMODEL hydrologic routing model to let us to make spatial and temporal predictions of carbon, water, and nitrogen dynamics over landscapes.
Input information derived from weather records, satellite imagery, digital terrain models, and soils maps are supplied to RHESSys via a geographic database. The computer models construct a climatic surface, and based on this and other input surfaces, simulate maps of various ecosystem properties including snowpack, soil moisture, streamflow, evaporation, and photosynthesis.
RHESSys is an important tool in understanding the effects of anthropogenic impacts on landscape-level processes. RHESSys is being implemented in a number of other lab projects to assess the impacts of land use and disturbances on stream hydrology and forest productivity.

Love this movie even though it's a kids movie
The movie was good, what I could see of it. When I recieved it, The movie was loose in the box and was scratched up. Chapter 4 was unviewable.
Tim Allen does a great job and presents a clean wholesome family film. Funny, good story line and worth adding to your DVD library.
i saw the end of this movie on tv. had to see the rest of it. glad i did tim allen was great its a little corny but now a days we all need a good laugh and it shure gives you that
This is a great family movie. Good for all ages. Our 18 year old, 8 year old and 4 year old all like this movie. My husband and I enjoy it so much as well.
My niece wanted this DVD and no store carried it. I was able to order it from Walmart and get in time for Christmas for her, plus I got it at a great price.
This is the best movie ever. It is one my daughter watches all the time. I personaly think it is awsome.
Looking for a movie that the youngsters will love. Try this movie. Some suggestive parts put in perspective a good movie.
It's fun family movie.

I have my story on Google docs, and am caught up in copy/pasting my chapters, but I wanted to know... how do i save a chapter as a draft. When I start writing a new chapter, I only see the option for Publish, Preview and Cancel.
Group Moderator
You can't save drafts of chapter to existing stories - you can only create 'new' draft stories. If you are working on something for an existing story but don't want to post it, create a new draft from scratch (i.e. make a new story, select save as draft) and save it there.
If you're not done typing out that chapter you can save it as a draft and start coping/pasting the new chapter or you can finish coping/pasting all of the chapter but you can't draft them unless there one that you want to save for later and change some stuff on it then you can draft that one! LOL ;-)

Now we're at the final stages of Norm Breyfogle's Mojo paintings - the end results. It's shaping up to be Norm Month around here, but that's because there was a fair bit in that box of goodies. Still I find it fascinating (to say the least) to be able to show the evolution of a cover, from initial sketching, through to the painting stage, the layout of the cover and then the final result. I'm not an artist, but this just grabs me, to see just how Norm got to the point where he did - there's far more work involved in all of this than just drawing a picture and sending it in (and just wait til you see the Arcade Fire series coming up very shortly).
Once the images had been decided upon Norm went to work on arranging them into the format that Mojo required. In the reference material that Norm received were two images. The first, the 1968 Lion Annual was included to show Norm exactly the feel that Mojo required. I'm not sure how many, if any at all, of these annuals made it to the USA at the time, but they were fairly common in Australia.
This image, the second, shows how Mojo wanted the placement of the individual images. It's interesting to note that the Mojo staffer who arranged this layout refers to Amy Winehouse as Amy Whinehouse. I wonder what's in that? Regardless, this image gave Norm the design structure and allowed him to chose the composition of his paintings as he saw fit. The instructions given were that the Raconteurs would be war heroes (Cap'n Jack & The Raconteurs), the Arctic Monkeys would be the 'Sheffield Four' (aka the Famous Five), Winhouse would be the 50ft Woman (soul giant Amy Winehouse) and Dylan was to be set in the wild west.
Norm's final layout for the annual was a fairly simple one once the sketches had been done. The actual layout is made up of a series of photocopies, pasted up on the page. The Raconteurs image was readjusted to the heights that suited the layout best and the only real pencils on this page are basic background scribbles.
This is the final result (a bit over coloured though) that appeared in Mojo. The Mojo staff re-inserted the copy that was missing from Norm's layout, with additions (and also spelling Winehouse correctly). The page was then 'aged' to look like the Lion Annual and although you can't see it from this scan, the page was also given rough edges, to appear as if it'd been torn out of an old magazine. Overall it's a great looking image indeed, very effective, and as I wrote in my introduction, this is a rare insight into the creative process that goes on to produce a single page.

|Hotel Park Prime Panjim Goa
Park Prime Panjim Goa (earlier name Hotel Marigold) has the best location that can be. Situated at one end of the Old Patto Bridge, it is close to Panjim's Kadamba Bus Stand, close to Patto Plaza that is Panjim's commercial area, close to the city church and other local attractions, and also close to the casino jetties. Most of its rooms, I think third floor upwards, have a direct view of the river Mandovi. Actually the building has a strip design with only one row of rooms all of which face the front side road. Sound proofing of the rooms is not perfect but its almost OK. I got a room on a higher floor so there was very little sound from the road. The lower three floors will probably have more.
Types of Rooms and Pricing
|Elite Room in Hotel Park Prime Goa
|Elite Room Hotel Park Prime Panjim Goa
There are three types of rooms here: Executive, Elite, and Suite with the price of the base category starting at INR 4000 before discount. Suites are on the top floor and Executive rooms are on the lower floors with Elite rooms sandwiched between the two. For those not used to booking hotels in India, the booking sites here give away massive discounts that run year-round. Therefore, for a hotel in India, you never do a direct booking with a property and never pay the rack rates. I got my Executive room booking at approximately INR 1800 per night including breakfast.

Quality of the Room
Now according to the hotel staff, I was there during low season (Monsoon months) and occupancy was low. Hence they had given me an upgrade to an Elite room. Therefore I have not seen their Executive rooms and knowing the state of affairs in the Elite room, I guess Executive rooms will be pretty basic.
There were four problems in the Elite room in which I stayed. It was a twin-bed room. The booking process for this hotel does not take preference for double or twin so one will get what is available. I was staying single and would have preferred a double bed. The problem was that the twin single beds were too narrow, not enough width for a single person even. The second problem was of ineffective air-conditioning. From the A.C. duct in the room it appeared that they were using central air-conditioning. There was a remote control for the A.C. that did beep every time I pressed a key but it did nothing to increase or decrease the temperature in the room. The comforter on the bed was too heavy and the A.C. not so cold so I had to use both the noisy fan and the A.C. to be able to sleep. The third problem was of house keeping. I could almost see that they did not change the bedding on any of the two beds during my four days of stay. After two days, I just moved to the other bed. It was after all low-season and I had got the room at a discount so why would they change my bedding. The fourth problem was the non-functional telephone in the room. On the first day, I complained about that to the gentleman at the reception who looked and acted like the manager of the hotel. He promised to get my phone fixed immediately. Nothing happened. I complained again next day, still nothing happened. I gave up.
In general, the room was small, the bathroom was small but almost clean. Some very basic amenities were provided in the bathroom though one would expect a lot more for the INR 5700 tariff for an Elite room.
In the room, there was a cabinet with a locker in it. Outside there was a flat screen TV, a writing desk-cum-dresser table, one electric kettle and two small water bottles for each day. The tea / coffee supplies were poor. The coffee sachet was a cheap INR 1 per sachet variety and the tea bags were lose, open, touched by the house keeping while they cleaned the room.
Poor WiFi
The WiFi internet, though claimed to be free, was implemented in the most useless way. Instead of giving me user ID and password for the WiFi, they gave me a Tata-DoCoMo WiFi scratch card that one gets at the airport lounges. It means unlimited internet at the location of use for one session. The moment you shut down your laptop or disconnect WiFi, the card becomes useless. I used the card on the first evening but it did not work next morning. When I told about that to the guy at the reception (I had to personally go down to the lobby to tell them because they had not fixed the room phone), they acted surprised and promised to send someone to the room. Someone did come and instead of being able to fix the problem, gave me a new Tata-DoCoMo card. Even that new card did not work because the system was always giving some authentication error. It was a stupid implementation of WiFi that I have never seen in any other hotel. What was a Tata-DoCoMo scratch card doing in a hotel room? The guy who had come to the room to help with the WiFi left after saying "Sorry".
Now I knew, I was not losing much by not having a working land line phone in the room. There was no point complaining about anything to the staff in the lobby. They just did not care. I used my cell phone data connection during the rest of my stay.
Poor Breakfast
|Tulip Restaurant Hotel Park Prime Panjim Goa
|Bananas Served at Breakfast By Hotel Park Prime Panjim Goa
The restaurant on he first floor called Tulip perhaps is decorated OK. But the food was just too ordinary. Poori Bahji and Uttapam for vegetarians, and some frutis (read rotton bananas). The bhaji for the poori did not taste very pleasant and I would like you to see the picture above of the bananas they served at breakfast.
No more Park Prime
It was a prepaid, non-refundable booking so I completed my four nights of stay and left. I will not go back there because the price exceeds value, complaining to the staff about problems does not help, and the policy of the management seems to be: if something can be done in a wrong way, then why do it right. That Tata-DoCoMo WiFi card is a case in point.

Yllume Skincare
After several years in research and development, Yllume have created the ideal skincare system for even, brighter skin. For the first time in the world, Yllume uses Colourless Carotenoids at the heart of its formulas, for both internal and external skin lightening and brightening from top to toe.
Yllume was born from founder Hossay Momand's personal journey since her teenage years, suffering from acute acne-prone sensitive skin.
Hossay set out to research her own treatment (eschewing chemically derived ingredients) looking initially at traditional skincare remedies and ingredients, while also sourcing the best cosmetic scientists and dermatologists to collaborate with.
Developed by the Yllume Laboratories, the result of a decade of research and development in working together with one of the most established laboratories in Germany, UK and Japan to bring you cutting edge scientifically advanced skincare from within.
The breakthrough ingredient used in Yllume Skincare is Colourless Carotenoids, derived from naturally grown white tomatoes. Colourless Carotenoids are naturally found in the outer most layers of the skin at 38%, those deficient in these Carotenoids show signs of hyperpigmentation, sensitivity, acne and dry skin. Yllume contains high levels of these carotenoids thus are able to address these issues via a unique approach as never done before, delivering our unique lightening actives both topically and internally.
Yllume is clinically proven to brighten, plump and even out skin tone and noticeably reduce hyperpigmentation in only 28 days that doesn't just stop at the jaw line, but is achieved from top to toe.
The Yllume system is equivalent to prescription strength 4% hydroquinone and is the only skin lightening system suitable for even the most sensitive of skins, as we have consciously avoided common lightening agents such as hydroquinone, Kojic acid, arbutin, liquorice extract, and peeling agents, as we know from experience some of these are unstable and for others there is a high risk of inflammation and irritation.
Yllume is the natural alternative for achieving EVEN. BRIGHTER. SKIN.

The New Zealand dollar rose to a two-month high against its trans-Tasman counterpart after Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glenn Stevens called his nation's currency overvalued.
The kiwi rose as high as 93.50 Australian cents, trading at 93.43 cents at 5pm from 92.58 cents yesterday. It traded at 87.66 US cents at 5pm from 87.69 cents at 8am and 87.52 cents yesterday.
The RBA's Stevens told an economists' conference in Hobart the Australian dollar was overvalued "and not just by a few cents" and that "investors are under-estimating the likelihood of a significant fall in the Australian dollar at some point."
The comments come after traders were surprised at the soft tone on the currency in the RBA's policy review earlier this week. The Australian cents traded at 93.76 US cents at 5pm in Wellington and has been under pressure after weaker than expected trade and retail data over the past two days.
"The Aussie has just been getting thumped," said Sam Tuck, senior FX strategist at ANZ New Zealand in Auckland. "The tone of New Zealand data is a little better, but it's probably better to sell than to buy on the kiwi/Aussie."
Traders will be looking to US employment figures on Thursday in Washington for a steer on the strength of the world's biggest economy ahead of the Independence Day holiday on Friday. Expectations for an additional 215,000 payrolls may have ticked higher after last night's US ADP private payrolls report for June beat expectations.
The European Central Bank will review policy on Thursday in Brussels, and is expected to keep the status quo. The kiwi rose to 64.21 euro cents at 5pm in Wellington from 64.01 cents yesterday.
The local currency was little changed at 51.08 British pence from 51.04 pence yesterday, and advanced to 89.26 yen from 88.91 yen. The trade-weighted index rose to 81.47 from 81.13 yesterday.

Adaptive and innate immune responses contribute to hypertension and hypertensive end-organ damage. Here, we determined the role of anaphylatoxin C5a, a major inflammatory effector of the innate immune system that is generated in response to complement activation, in hypertensive end-organ damage. For this purpose, we assessed the phenotype of C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1)-deficient mice in ANG II-induced renal and cardiac injury. Expression of C5aR1 on infiltrating and resident renal as well as cardiac cells was determined using a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-C5aR1 reporter knockin mouse. Flow cytometric analysis of leukocytes isolated from the kidney of GFP-C5aR1 reporter mice showed that 28% of CD45-positive cells expressed C5aR1. Dendritic cells were identified as the major C5aR1-expressing population (88.5%) followed by macrophages and neutrophils. Using confocal microscopy, we detected C5aR1 in the kidney mainly on infiltrating cells. In the heart, only infiltrating cells stained C5aR1 positive. To evaluate the role of C5aR1 deficiency in hypertensive injury, an aggravated model of hypertension was used. Unilateral nephrectomy was performed followed by infusion of ANG II (1.5 ng·g−1·min−1) and salt in wild-type (n = 34) and C5aR1-deficient mice (n = 32). C5aR1-deficient mice exhibited less renal injury, as evidenced by significantly reduced albuminuria. In contrast, cardiac injury was accelerated with significantly increased cardiac fibrosis and heart weight in C5aR1-deficient mice after ANG II infusion. No effect was found on blood pressure. In summary, the C5a:C5aR1 axis drives end-organ damage in the kidney but protects from the development of cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy in experimental ANG II-induced hypertension.

Kate Elizabeth Winslet, born 5 October 1975, is an English actress and singer. She is the recipient of an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and a Grammy Award. She is the youngest person to acquire six Academy Award nominations, and is one of the few actresses to win three of the four major American entertainment awards. In addition, Kate Winslet has won awards from the Screen Actors Guild, British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association among others, and an Honorary César Award in 2012.
Brought up in Berkshire, Kate Winslet studied drama from childhood, and began her career in British television in 1991. She made her film debut in Heavenly Creatures in 1994, for which she received critical praise. She garnered recognition for her supporting role in Sense and Sensibility before achieving global stardom with the epic romance Titanic, which was the highest-grossing film of all time at that point. Kate Winslet's performances in Iris, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Finding Neverland, Little Children and Revolutionary Road continued to draw praise from film critics. The actress' performance in the last of these prompted the critic David Edelstein to describe her as the best English-speaking film actress of her generation.
She won the Academy Award for best actress for her role in 2008's The Reader. Winslet won an Emmy Award for Best Actress in a miniseries for playing the title role in Mildred Pierce. Her greatest commercial successes have been the romantic comedy The Holiday, the animated film Flushed Away, the science fiction film Divergent and its sequel, Insurgent. And, of course, Titanic.
In addition to acting, Winslet has narrated documentaries and children's books. She was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children in 2000 for narrating Listen To The Storyteller. She has also provided her vocals to soundtracks of her films, the most popular of which is the single "What If" from A Christmas Carol: The Movie. Divorced from film directors Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes, Winslet is now married to businessman Ned Rocknroll.
