#NaNoWriMo2016 – 5 – From The Well
NOTE: The following was recorded as the fog rolled in
Is this working? Hello? Testing… Ah yes, thank God…
I'm hoping this reaches somebody, so there will be no mystery as to what happened to me. That I didn't know she was married made no difference to him; he quoted "ignorance of the law does not excuse you from it." I seem to be only one of her indiscretions, but her husband, giant, ignorant brute of a man, seems to blame everyone but her.
I only discovered later that this was merely a ploy.
Things are hazy after he shouted at me to dress. I remember a hail of club-like fists, then waking up in this field, a bucket of cold water unceremoniously dumped on my head. That was over an hour ago, from what I can tell by the changing position of the waxing moon. The field is wide and lined with forest on all sides. The moon is complete full, and a thick fog is hugging the lower parts of the ground. The fog is everywhere. If I sit, I can't see so much as my hand in front of my face.
Although I have heard coyotes baying in the distance, they aren't my concern. I have been chained to a stake near a well in the middle of the field. I have been secured by the ankle, wrapped uncomfortably tight and locked with a padlock. He doesn't want me to leave; not by my own choice, at any rate.
I know what is in store for me; I only hope someone finds this and the man who did this is stopped. From what I can tell, he and his wife play a sick game, baiting lonely men and then sacrificing them. I am but the latest. When he woke me, I saw that he held a pig. I don't know where he got it; they don't live on a farm, although the area is rural, so I do not doubt the lummox stole it. He had tied it up, much like me, only with some light rope.
He proceeded to cut the pig several times on the hind legs with a large hunting knife. He turned to me and smiled when the grim work was done. His sloe eyes and barely toothed smile only heightened his menace as he brandished the bloody weapon; I knew he was capable of whatever his ignorant brain could conceive, without guilt. He pushed his bulk up close to me; I could smell his rancid breath with each word:
"Hold very still. Watch the pig, but do not move. I want you to see what is coming; I want you to understand what will happen to you. It has more meaning."
I did as I was told, too terrified to disobey. He ran off behind me, presumably to hide behind a tree, so as to not be at risk, as I surely was. Each minute that passed moved agonizingly slow, interminably uneventful. I slowly began to relax, when I heard a sound. I can't accurately describe it; it was sort of a soft scraping, accompanied by a low gibber and the sound of dripping water. I was assaulted by a rank odor which brought back memories of biology class and animals preserved in formaldehyde. The smell grew stronger as the sound grew louder; the dripping never subsiding, suggesting that whatever was scaling the inside of the well was either water-logged, or salivating copiously.
My panic nearly reached its apex when the sound abruptly stopped. Again, interminable minutes passed. I began to doubt my senses; perhaps it was my imagination, fueled by the suggestions of my liaison's bestial husband taking over my good sense. But then a new sound emerged from the rock circle of the well, a strange inhalation that bordered somewhere between breathing and sniffing. The dripping noise began again, and I was convinced, then, that it was salivation I was hearing. I stood perfectly still, my terror rooting me as surely as a tree. I saw movement now. It was just a vague shape at first, tendril of darkness slithering over the side, toward the now panic-stricken pig. It squealed pitifully as it tried in vain to pull away from the nebulous member.
The thing barely touched the blood soaked leg of the animal, when a great sucking sound emerged from the well.
My horror seems to have clouded my mind from the bulk of what I saw, for now I only remember impressions. I recall an immense blackness emerging in a shot from the gaping orifice of the well. It was too large to have fit in the well's shaft, but that was explained by the largely amorphous form of it. I recall tentacles, a multitude of them, swishing and dancing in all directions at random intervals from its shifting, gibbering mass. Eyes, black pearls the size of my fist stared blindly, yet hungrily, in all directions.
It seemed to be taking in the night; absorbing every detail that its senses would allow. The mist seemed to recede from its presence, as if nature itself was trying to deny its existence. The normal noises of the night had disappeared. There was a terrible silence, broken only by the terrified struggles of the pig. The sniffing resumed, and the mass seemed to turn toward the pig.
Several tendrils reached out toward the pig, feeling, sniffing, tasting. The pathetic creature screamed. It screamed. Good God, I didn't know animals could scream, but it did. I never knew such terror was possible, but I saw it in the panicked struggle of the pig; it went beyond the knowledge that it was going to die. Somehow, it knew it would die horribly. The swaying of the tentacles changed to frenzied spasms as the thing grew excited at its find. As the pig struggled, the dance increased its pitch, until finally, several times the immensity that already protruded from the well spilled up and out, enveloping the pig entirely. Its screams were muffled by the monstrosity from the well, which sat and pulsated for several seconds.
It suddenly withdrew itself, in its entirety, back into the well. It happened with astonishing speed, and there was an awful tearing sound as the pig was ripped from its bonds, bone and flesh ripping from the force of the thing's pull, its final scream echoing from the dark chasm of the well for seconds after its form had disappeared within.
A loud, malevolent sucking sound erupted from the well. I could hear the pig being crushed, its bones cracking audibly, accompanied by a horrendous grinding noise. There was a grotesque exhalation, and the smell of blood poured out of the well like a sickening miasma of death. I fought the urge to vomit, barely able to maintain my upright posture against the olfactory assault.
Minutes later, my mind finally allowed my body to collapse, though my fear had not lessened in the least. Minutes later, still, and the husband reappeared. He was shaking slightly, and his skin had taken on a ghostly pallor. He was no longer smiling. "It will feed as often as there is food." He said, the quaver in his voice showing me that he had done this many times before. He grabbed my arm, and I marveled in the back of my mind how often stupidity is supplemented with strength. He slid the knife in long lines down my arm, grimacing with the effort of making the lines as deep as possible.
I sublimated my scream, hoping that if I kept quiet, the thing from the well would not emerge again; that I might formulate some plan of escape, despite being shackled and now wounded. He let go abruptly and stalked away, not looking back, confident that his plan would come to fruition. Eventually, I understood his confidence. The chain is thick and attached with practiced skill. The night is not done, and I am becoming ill from the pain in my arm.
I don't know how regular an interval the thing emerges, but I have heard stirrings in the black depths of the well again, so no doubt it will return… From what I have pieced together, and mind you this is simple conjecture, the couple who captured me is part of a cult. Previously forgotten, seemingly idle statements by the wife have been coming back to me with new, frightening meaning.
That she was a part of a small local church that celebrated the full moon every month with a feast seemed of small consequence before, as I had assumed they were the ones dining at it. The truth of that statement is now brutally apparent. Whatever the thing in the well is, it is does not conform to any life I have ever witnessed or heard of. It brings back memories of old tales of Elder Gods and creatures from beyond time and space. I know it doesn't belong here; it seems to consume but give nothing. I can only imagine the cult worships it to supplicate it, to feed its ravenous nature as I can't imagine what product this being could provide that would be of any use to any human, sane or otherwise.
A friend of mine, a private investigator of some repute named Arthur Crowley recently lost a friend to some beast worshipping cult; a group of insane people who sacrificed themselves en masse to strange being, so it was said. I thought it was a fanciful theory put forth by the kind of people who believe supermarket tabloids have some insight that the legitimate press is not privy too.
It would appear that this is not the case. The thing I have witnessed is very real, although my every sense wants to deny its existence; being of questionable sanity, it would seem, is far preferable to the mind than certain, horrific death. There is something down there in that well, something not from here. It craves flesh, or blood, or both. I can only assume it does not stray far from the well, or even leave it with its entirety, as I would assume it would devastate the surrounding territory if it did.
Perhaps it posses some cruel, alien intelligence and understands its relationship with the people in the surrounding lands. Why risk an assured meal for the sake of wanton destruction?
Or maybe I am trying to assign motivations to something that is truly beyond understanding.
I hear the dripping again. I will hold the recorder out so you can hear it. I don't know if the recorder can pick this up, but there is a subtle scraping sound. It knows I'm here. I am lucky the hick that stuck me out here did not bother to check my clothing; else he might have noticed my recorder. My one consolation is that someone may find this and bring justice to those that did this to me, and with luck, seal the baneful well that I am staring at so that no one else meets this fate.
I am also hoping that the tunnels of the well do not extend very far; I hate to think that there are more groups feeding this abomination. It has occurred to me that there may be more of these things in the world, that perhaps this ravenous monstrosity is not unique, and that perhaps certain disappearances in the world might be the result of others such as this. Perhaps the villagers of Roanoke, Virginia dug their well in the wrong spot, and weren't as crafty or insane as the people of this town. Perhaps the Mayans or any of a number of once great civilizations that disappeared stumbled upon this…
It's sniffing again. I don't believe it will wait like it did before; like a shark once it smells and tastes blood, it is ready for more. It' shifting, moving toward the well opening; I can hear it crawling. It's near. The sniffing is getting louder; I can see the top of… The eyes are red… It sees the blood…
Oh holy God. Please. God, N…
Is this damn thing still runnin'? Here, you can have it back you poor sum'bitch.

It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Drive & Serpentine Belt to repair your vehicle.

Car aficionados know that unparalleled speed is built into each Porsche, and understand that only the highest quality replacement 356A parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
One of the keys to maintaining an operational engine and full use of your accessories is keeping an eye on your drive belts.

Porsche 356A engines with just one belt that joins all of the accessories to the crank pulley have a serpentine belt, while more than one would all be called drive belts.
Don't let a Drive & Serpentine Belt repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Ordering new Porsche parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 356A parts on the internet.

Carol Wootton was born in Victoria on March 17, 1934. One of Carol Wootton's earliest piano instructors advised her, "You'd be better off cooking supper and spanking the baby." Soon thereafter she won the silver medallion as Victoria's top pianist in 1954.
Wootton studied music for two years in London but her hopes for a glamorous professional career were dashed in her twenties--when she first faced the trauma of having a severed limb "and the reality of learning that I would be minus my right leg below the knee (BK) for the rest of my life."
Having made music and literature her lifelong passions, Wootton has explored the joys and pain of music in The Page Turner and Other Stories (Orca 1989), and published a collection of literary essays, Selective Affinities: Comparative Essays from Goethe to Arden with a Swiss publisher.
More recently Wootton has published a collection of memoirs and critiques pertaining to her musical evolution, Preening Clefs (Towner 2007), a fourth title, Singing-Masters of my Soul, and a collection of vignettes, essays and biographical appreciations, Out of Hungary (Towner 2009), all pertaining to Hungary. At the end of the summer of 1956, Wootton was enrolled at the Vienna Akademie. The Hungarian Revolution broke out on October 23, 1956. She attended an unforgettable concert by Gyorgy Cziffra in Vienna on November 17, 1956. "Strangely, I rarely listen to Cziffra's recordings now," Wootton writes. "I prefer to remember the tall, thin figure in the Brahmsaal of the Musikverein who filled me with more fervour for the Hungarian cause than all the speeches, the press, and even the refugees themselves."
Wootton's sixth book, Chopin Revisited: 1810-2010 (Towner, 2010), is an homage to the musician in the bicentennial year of his birth.
Having taught English at UVic and comparative literature in the Universities of Texas and Georgia, she lives with her sister in Oak Bay where her recent titles are available for sale from Ivy's Books.

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Shopify stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shopify's second-quarter 2017 results were impressive. The company's year-over-year revenue growth showed that Shopify's cloud-based, multi-tenant, omni-channel, scalable platform is gaining adoption. The company continues to win new merchants, which surpassed 0.5 million at the end of quarter. The company is benefiting from retail's rapid transition to mobile and social sales channels. Moreover, availability of Apple Pay and addition of eBay, Amazon and Facebook Messenger as sales channels are significant positives. Shopify has outperformed the broader industry on a year-to-date basis. However, the company's increasing investments on product development, infrastructure and platform will continue to hurt profitability at least in 2017. We observe that the company is yet to report profit, which doesn't augur well for investors." (8/7/2017) 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Shopify's 1Q17 sales, adj. EBITDA, and adj." (5/3/2017) 3. BTIG Research analysts commented, "The +60% run in the stock YTD may trigger thoughts of irrational exuberance (or at least lofty expectations), but we view it instead as the natural outcome when a company achieves perfect product/market fit. It's no secret that digital commerce is a long run secular trend (the market piece of the puzzle), and no one makes it easier to participate in it than Shopify (the product piece). By effectively growing the pool of sellers beyond traditional retailers and Amazon (AMZN, Not Rated), the company has claimed a disproportionate share of gross merchandise value. And despite stellar performance since going public in May 2015, we still think Shopify is in the early stages of its growth cycle; a perfect product/market fit (along with a benign competitive environment) should sustain its strong trajectory. Expectations are rising as investors start to appreciate the company's true potential, and a valuation of 7x EV/FY18 Revenues may look lofty to some; however, we believe that the incredible product/market fit justifies the premium. Moreover, it should also serve as the foundation for continued financial outperformance. Maintain Buy." (3/21/2017) 4. Pacific Crest analysts commented, "With considerable runway ahead and multiple upside drivers, Shopify continues to be our favorite growth name to own. We are rolling out our 2021 model, and see a path to $1.7 billion in revenue and $90 billion in GMV, which would make Shopify a key data asset. Given its leading SaaS growth, a premium valuation is deserved. We are buyers and are raising our target to $78 (from $66)." (3/21/2017) 5. Wedbush analysts commented, "We expect Shopify to continue to grow at above-ecommerce market growth rates for the foreseeable future as it continues to penetrate its sizable SMB TAM and makes in-roads with larger brands. FY16 ends on a high note. Q4 results topped expectations as revenue grew 86% YoY to $130.4 million coming in well ahead of both consensus of $121.6 million and the guidance range of $120-$122 million. Revenue growth was driven by strong execution across the board." (2/16/2017) Who are some of Shopify's key competitors?

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped.

Peter Donald is the guy behind the LogKit. I think he did a wonderful job with it. He carefully balanced performance with functionality--always opting for the least costly method of doing things. Also, when you specify a minimum log level, it opts out early (why bother processing it further) so as to have the minimum impact on performance. One thing that slows down servlets alot is using context.log(...) extensively as it is a costly method. Cocoon only forwards Priority.ERROR messages to that logger so the traffic is limited to real errors. Also, the real performance detractor in these cases are the compound strings that would have to be assembled (you know: "string1" + "string2"). In most places this has been either reduced to one compound or StringBuffers. For example which is more readable: getLogger().debug("Error in Component: " + componentName, e); - or - getLogger().debug(new StringBuffer("Error in Component: ").append(componentName).toString(), e); Obviously the previous one. In code, they have the exact same affect. You don't start realizing the performance advantages of the StringBuffer until you have 3 or more strings to add together. "Error in Component '" + componentName + "'" is equivalent to: new StringBuffer(new StringBuffer("Error in Component '").append(componentName).toString()).append("'").toString(); Besides, Cocoon is blazingly fast anyway. To perform the same look and feel in ColdFusion (I know I keep using that tired example, but I have personal experience with it) with the same modularity, the page would take twice as long. That is incredible when you think about it.

Skip to comments.Police object to fraction of gun-carry permits under Illinois conceal carry (99.3% approved)
Posted on 02/04/2014 7:09:13 AM PST by marktwain
January 31, 2014 (CHICAGO) -- Police across Illinois have objected to just 236 applications from people seeking to carry concealed weapons out of 33,631 submitted to the state police.
(Excerpt) Read more at abclocal.go.com ...
I wonder if the 236 are concentrated in a few areas with anti-CCW police chiefs.
Wouldn't surprise me.
Illinois is a shall issue state. The police chief doesn't have the authority to arbitrarily deny a permit.
Most of them are probably in 'Coooook' County
Importantly, the first of the licenses will begin to be issued in March, so enough of them should be issued by summer to perhaps see a statistical impact on crime in Chicago. Of course, just 8,000 licenses in Cook County is a tiny number.
Were they issued earlier, the politicians would have undoubtedly excused the lower crime rate on the weather.
Yes, its a nonstory given that over 99.3% of gun owners never commit a crime with a gun. Why wouldn't they be getting approved?
I agree, a good follow-up story should be the percentage of people arrested for a violent crime who were carrying a firearm w/out a permit, these people are why we need to carry,

text: Investment funds affiliated with Marcato Capital Management and Oskie Capital Management are significant stockholders of Lear Corporation (the "Company"), with holdings together representing beneficial ownership of approximately 5.6 percent of Lear's outstanding common equity. We share the view expressed in the Company's press release of February 7, 2013 that the Company is undervalued, and we see what we believe to be a serious discrepancy between Lear's improved operating performance and business prospects and its current market valuation. It is our view that this discount is directly linked to a questionable capital allocation strategy by the Board. Specifically, we believe the Company's current undervaluation reflects investors' distaste for the Company's practice of stockpiling an increasing net cash balance, along with concern that the Company may be willing to make costly acquisitions or invest in other low-return projects at a time when the repurchase of Lear's undervalued stock would be far more accretive to the long-term equity value of the Company.It is therefore no surprise to us that Lear's stock is trading both at a significant discount to its peers, and well below its long-run historical multiple of 5.5X EBITDA. It is our contention that the Company's recent announcement – to accelerate the pace of its existing stock repurchase program and raise its dividend – is insufficient. Simply put, we view Lear as dramatically overcapitalized. With net cash of almost 1x EBITDA, we believe Lear is approximately 2x full turns of leverage below the average of a group of its peers – despite Lear's lower capital intensity, better pension liability position, favorable tax advantages and higher free cash flow conversion. Further, Lear's large cash balance has the effect, we believe, of increasing the Company's equity value, thereby artificially inflating the Company's P/E multiple and distorting the value of the core enterprise. The Board's choices regarding capital allocation appear parsimonious and are even more disappointing in light of the positive operational progress the management team has made during and since emerging from Chapter 11 reorganization. The Company is now more diversified by geographical end-market and customer mix, and with its strong competitive position in its core seating business and a lower fixed cost base, we believe the Company is well positioned to generate significantly improved margins for a given level of production.

for flouting hospital 'no sibling' rule for ebf baby?(660 Posts)
DS had an operation yesterday. He needed me to be there. Breastfed baby also needed me.
I took my Aunt to look after my ds and we were sent initially to a waiting room. The plan was for her to keep him there and for me to pop out of the ward to feed him.
However, we were there for half an hour and my ds started to ask for a feed, so I started to bf. Literally 2 sucks in, we were called. I pulled him off and he screamed so I jigged him about (which quietens him as a distraction) and moved towards the ward with him in tow.
The nurse told me he wasn't allowed. I told her that I needed to finish his feed and then I would take him back to my aunt. I offered to vrubg ds ub 10 mins but she got arsey saying that ds would have to have his operation cancelled if he missed his slpt. Nurse started tutting about him disturbing the other patients and that there was a strict no-sibling rule that I knew about as it was in the letter (it was).
so WIBU?
Sock I wasn't asking you whether you thought you'd phrased it that way, I was telling you that you had. While I can believe that it was unintentional and you weren't actually offering advice, especially given that you obviously failed to understand what I actually said, your second sentence walks dangerously close to a personal attack. I'd hate to think you were breaching MN guidelines.
Uppermid I think if you insist on citing Staffordshire again, it would be sensitive to indicate that you realise the two situations are totally different.

I never said the situations were the same, (but why let facts get in the way of you twisting things to your advantage) I used it as an example to say whilst the NHS is great its no where near perfect and the original nurse in the instance was wrong for all the reasons set out several times by star and several others who bothered to actually read the post and not set out to prove star a liar
In all fairness we don't known what scene greeted the nurse. The waiting rooms on daycase are very busy. She probably took in the feeding baby, buggy, changing bag etc and was met with the OP' insistence at taking the baby through and thought 'here we go again, someone else who wants to change the rules.' When it was explained star was able to take the baby and all was well. I really don't think it warrants a phone call, email or a letter but it is the OP' right to do so if she wishes.
As a parent I have always gone into the anaesthetic room whilst my son is put to sleep. I've never gone into the theatre as he is already under GA. Not in a million years would I expect to take a bf baby into there. Highly, highly sterile area. The nurse probably thought that the OP was planning to have the baby with her the whole time but just needed it explaining.
As an aside, we have had cause to make two very serious complaints to the NHS regarding our child. I wouldn't find the op' complaint comparable in the slightest. Hers isn't a sign of a failing NHS (like the Stafford report) but of a patients representative that hadn't called ahead to confirm taking the baby was ok.
A proper storm in a teacup!

Eloquently pu crumpled
put bliddy DS nicking my phone!
Anyway I agree with crumpled, this was a non issue in the grand scheme of things. If the baby was indeed ebf then there was room for discussion, but not a patient complaint.
And if we insist on bringing Staffordshire into it, well that should put it into perspective, that is a different league altogether.
Of course Staffordshire is in a different league, I said that at the time. I used it to illustrate that the NHS isn't perfect, there are many examples I could have used but that was the first that came to mind as its what's happening in the news now, apologies if that has offended.
The op hasn't written to complain about the nurse but to comment on their supposed baby friendly policy, in order to help future mums and babies.
Totally agree this is a non issue, my problem with this thread has been the attitude shown to star based on who she is rather than the initial query. If anyone else had posted this, they would have received support.
I am afraid i disagree uppermid it is nothing to do with who star 'is'. (she has made me giggle on a recent thread so i have no beef with her - i didnt know who she 'was' before that). I know (and have seen) that any poster who had revealed themselves as not being completely open about the situation to make a point would have been called on. It is defensive to suggest otherwise.
Maybe you didn't Martha but others have admitted they did

So what exactly is religious discrimination?
Religious discrimination involves treating a person (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because of his or her religious beliefs, says the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The site goes on to say that religious discrimination can also involve treating someone differently because that person is married to (or associated with) an individual of a particular religion or because of his or her connection with a religious organisation or group.
South African labour laws, as well as the constitution, prohibit religious discrimination.
We'll teach you how to implement Employment Equity in your company…
Warning: Never discriminate job applicants or employees based on their religion
Labour expert, lvan lsraelstam explains in an article on the Labour Guide that the Employment Equity Act prohibits unfair discrimination against an employee on arbitrary grounds. One of these grounds is religion.
lsraelstam says this means that no employer is entitled to discriminate against an employee or applicant for employment purely on the grounds of the employee's religion. He says, for example, it would be discriminatory for an employer to:
According to lsraelstam, while all of the above are examples of discrimination they don't always constitute unfair discrimination. Whether such discrimination is unfair or not will depend to an extent on whether or not the discrimination makes objective sense.
Look at these examples to determine what IS religious discrimination and what ISN'T
For example, turning down a Jewish person for the position of Pope wouldn't be unfair. So too would refusing to employ an atheist as a priest would be seen as fair. It also wouldn't be unfair to allow only Moslems to go to mosque.
'A key contributing factor as to whether discrimination at the workplace makes sense is whether or not it is based on the inherent requirements of the job' adds lsraelstam.
The bottom line is labour doesn't allow religious discrimination in the workplace. And you'll open yourself to all sorts of legal disputes if you allow it to happen in your workplace. So make sure you deal with religious discrimination in your policies and procedures to avoid having this happen in your company.

Author | Jagadeesh Krishnamurthy | Wednesday, Dec 19,2007 6:08 AM
Post the acquisition of WebPercept in April 2007 and creating a new brand identity, id8 Labs has made significant progress in terms of clients and technology. In an age where digital is the rage and CPAs and CPCs hog all media presentations and discussions, id8 Labs attempts to be different and innovative with its 'cost per performance' model – a revenue model in which the client pays based on performance.
Elaborating more about the recent developments at his company, Amit Tripathi, CMD, id8 Labs, said that Intentias, the media arm of id8 Labs, had picked up nearly nine AoRs (agency on records) post the acquisition of WebPercept.
Elaborating on the business model for Intentias, Tripathi said, "On a media AoR format, agencies usually work on an agency commission model. We don't work on that model. The entire format of working is completely Pay-per-Performance. We usually hear this for search based marketing, but never when you do the entire media."
Explaining further, he said, "The models used generally are CPC (Cost per Click) and CPT (Cost per Thousand impressions), but we have gone a step ahead with CPA (Cost per Acquisitions) and CPS (Cost per Sales). In CPA, our fees are based on the leads generated by us and the media optimised by us. Hence, the revenues that Intentias would make would be completely based on how we successful have been in managing the campaign, the profit side, and the sales side of the entire campaign."
Citing examples, Tripathi spoke about the exercise undertaken for Go Air, which had a mandate of increasing ticket sales and not brand awareness. "Most of the times you can hear arguments that you cannot do branding on the Internet, but only transactions. I personally believe it's a myth, you can do both. We have successfully done both with a two-pronged approach for Go Air – one was branding and the other was sales. In effect, we dropped the cost of acquisition, it's in single digits, but it's fairly high. We are absolutely sure that by the end of a year with the client, the savings that we would have brought to them on account of the transactions that we have been doing would be phenomenally high. It would be in double digits," he claimed.
Meanwhile, the company is also working on creating its own analytical platform, 'icogz', which will be focused on monitoring and managing campaigns. Throwing more light on this, Tripathi said, "We have created this tool that will help in understanding the behavioural patterns of a user, from the moment he clicks on a link or visits a page, so that we can justify to the client that the connect created with that user is not temporary. We know that there are Internet audiences across India, but the challenge is how we get the right guys to the right place at the right time at the right cost. It's easy to blow up lakhs of rupees on the Internet in a day, but will it give value to a client, I don't know. Which is where you need to quantify and qualify the media spend through scientific tools."
Post the recent acquisition of eDesign Tree franchise in India, id8 Labs now has presence in Bangalore and is also planning to launch it's own operation in Delhi.

My college days had come to an end, I was now officially a college graduate. What to do with my life was the next question, yet unanswered, I needed some time, time to get away for a while and get my thoughts together and make some plans. I layed in my bed back home again from college and just laying there looking out the window at the beautiful night sky filled with stars, like my thoughts and just as many. I was in a quandry and I thought I would just make my decision in the morning.
I slid my hand down into my boxers and started to slowly rub my hardening cock, some how this relaxed me, and at least got my mind to center on one thing, at least for the moment. I felt the hardening taking place in my cock and I raised up and slid down my boxers and started rubbing my rather ample testicles, and my nicely thick seven and a half inch uncut cock, and for some reason it felt extremely good tonight, I felt the pre-cum start leaking out of the opening of my cockhead and I just lightly and slowly took my thumb and forefinger retracted my foreskin and slathered it over the swelling and throbbing head, fuck man it was feeling just awesome, my mind went back to a week or so before and my thoughts were tuned into a young college professor that I had become intimate with and I remembered his hot mouth as it gently layed itself upon the head of my throbbing cock, the feeling was just awesome, Mr. Killion could win and award with his hot mouth because he could really suck a cock, I could still feel his hot breath as he breathed across the sensative head of my engorged member and I felt my heartbeat increase, Ughmm, I could still feel his hot lips and tongue and God what a sensation, and the rememberance was working its majic on my cock. I was leaking pre-cum like a fountain and I was giving my cock a real workover, thrusting my hips upward, as the thoughts came flooding back into my mind of that mouth and tongue that was licking my cock like an ice cream cone, Mr. Killion was grunting as he pumped my cock with his mouth and stroked his cock at the same time, I was about there, faster, more intense was the sucking and stroking, I was lifting myself up off the bed and slathering my cock like a fucking madman, God the feeling was so Intense, my cock was hard as a cylinder of granite and I felt that churning in my lower parts and the mental picture was there, Mr. Killion took my cock all the way to the hilt and massaged my nuts as I started jerking and moaning and flooding his mouth with my sweet love nectar, I came to back to my present position in bed and realized I had shot a load of cum all over my hand, my stomach and even had a stream upon my mouth and face, God it was awesome.
I cleaned up with some tissues and layed over on my side, pulled my boxers back on and covered with a sheet and gently and so relaxedly fell into a deep restfull dreamless sleep.
The morning sun comming thru the window woke me up as I smelled the coffee brewing downstairs in Moms kitchen, and I got up dressed in my trousers and tee shirt and went down to the kitchen and got a cup of coffee, Mom said Good morning Son, I said morning Mom, she said breakfast will be ready in a few minutes the biscuits are almost done, and I made your favorite Fried potatoes, eggs, and Milk Gravy, I said that sounds wonderful Mom, I haven't had your biscuits and gravy in god know when, she smiled and returned to the stove. I ate my wonderful breakfast and Mom ask me what I planned to do now that I had graduated, I said Im gonna go away for a while to get my thoughts together Mom, she said Oh! Well do what you must, Remember you always have a home to come to if you need it, I got up kissed Mom on the cheek and said, Thanks Mom I really love you.
I packed my back pack and took some camping gear and loaded it up into my little compact car and headed for the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, I had decided to go on a Hikeing adventure and get away for a few days.
I finally got way back up into the mountains and found a place to park the car and started my Hike up into the wilderness. I can't tell you how beautiful the scenic beauty of the place was and the wooded area had so many beautiful places, I took so many picutres and I finally got several miles into the wilderness and I found a perfect spot to set up my tent and make camp. I pitched the tent and made a circle of rocks for a campfire and yes I was in an area that allowed campfires. It was about dusk there when I got all my gear stowed away into the tent and I made me a pot of coffee on the campfire and then set off exploring and I walked upstream on this beautiful little running stream and I found a gorgeous water cascade of falls I noticed a clearwater pool at the base of the falls and thought that I was a great for a bath or waterfall shower and I walked over and being alone in the wilderness I stripped naked and sorta meandered into the stream and into the pool, the water was cool but not cold and I was standing at the base of the water falls and letting the water gently fall over my naked body and I felt so alive and just full of life and energy, I was fantastic and I started gently rubbing over my body, and feeling so sexy, I noticed my nuts were drawn up into my body and my cock was sticking up hard and ready for some action, and I started stroking it, and I felt so free and well you know that feeling. It didn't take very long to come to a fantastic climax and shot a huge load into the water and watched it slowly float on down the stream, I just stood there totally naked before nature and Yelled 'Fucking Awesome' I wanted to share that moment with the world, and then I got a strange feeling like someone was watching me and I looked around and didn't see anyone, and thought, oh well maybe it's being alone in these massive woods and mountains, my mind was playing tricks, but no matter how I tried I couldn't get the thought that someone was watching me out of my mind.
I went to the campsite and got ready for bed I crawled into my sleeping bag and I layed back and listened to the quiet night sounds they were awesome, about two in the morning I heard a sound like someone's footsteps outside my tent and I grabbed my hunting knife just in case and I looked out the flap of my tent, I saw a shadow of a man, and said whos there but no one answered, I once again thought It was my imagination.
I awoke with the morning sun to a gorgeous day, and decided to take a morning dip and I walked down to the pool and water fall and I say a naked man jump behind the falls and disappear into the waterfall. I, not thinking, jumped bareassed naked into the pool and swam (I was on the swim team in college too) and quickly made for the falls, I got there and jumped behind the falls and there next to rock kinda in a small cave was a very handsome young man about in his mid twenties and built like a brick shit house with his arms all folded up and sorta shaking from the coolness of the water. I said who are you and why are you hear, He was totally naked and he said I was just taking a wash off and I noticed his rather well endowed cock was hard as a rock and sorta jerking upward with each beat of his heart and I said man do you always get a hardon in this situation and he smiled and said sorta embarassed like, he said fuck man, you should talk, I had forgotten I was stark naked too and I didn't give thought to the fact of seeing him had given me an erection like stone. I just smiled and said sorry man that happenes when I see a good looking guy, He kinds looked startled and said when you see a good looking guy, I didn't realize it had slipped out like that, And I said yea, the truth is I'm gay and I love to see young good looking men naked and that ain't all I like to do either, He said Like what else, I said I like to suck cock, and fuck ,and be fucked and be sucked off by other guys, I thought what difference does it make if he knows, He don't know me, and I dont know Him, so who cares. He'll be gone in a few minutes anyway,
but my body wanted him bad, and then he said can we swim and wash off together for a while, do you mind If I join you? I said hell no, its a free country, why should I mind? He just smiled and said, thanks that would be great. We dove into the pool and he started getting friendlier and even began to get playful and I rather enjoyed his company. We played in the water for about a half hour and He said I have to go, and got out and walked into the forest naked and was gone.
That puzzeled me and I got up and layed back on my towel there on the pine needles and let the sun dry my naked body.
I hiked some mountain trails and explored some of the surrounding valleys and areas of interest and about dusk I went back to my little campsite. I built a fire and pulled out some provisions and had me some cheese and bread and some snack foods I had brought, And of course I had bottled water and the ever popular coffee. I got to getting sleepy and I went to bed, I fell asleep about 10 p.m and about 2 a.m I awoke having to piss and I got up and went outside of my tent and I thought I heard footsteps and I had a flashlight and I shined it toward the area of the sound and I saw a figure and I said Hey come on out where I can see you, and I noticed it was a Forest Ranger, I said what are you doing? He said, Don't be alarmed, Its my job to check out the campers in this area to make sure that while they are asleep their fires are kept under control and not get away with themselves, and I said Oh! I never thot of that! and then he said hey got any coffee made? and I said yea! I just have to warm it up on the campfire. He said great and I noticed it was my little naked friend from the pool, he was a Forest Ranger, I said I remember you, He said I remember you too!
He set down by the fire and we put a log on the fire we made small talk and I said look at me setting here in my underwear, I feel awkward, He said Hey man you look awesome to me. I said as I remembered his cock, and my mind started doing it's own thing. He said I'm Mark, a ranger in these hills and I keep an eye on campers, and their fires, and It gets kinda lonly up here in these mountains sometimes and it's nice to talk to someone every so often, I said I'll bet it does.
I said I'll bet it takes away from your love life or marriage, He just smiled, Not married, and no girlfriend he said, I just looked kinda surprised and said Your not married and don't have a girlfriend, he said Nope never had one, don't want one. tried it once and gave it up for something better, I said better, what do you mean?
He smiled and said, I think you know what I mean and he leaned over my way and Kissed me square on the mouth and took the back of my head and said this is what I mean, His tongue slipped into my mouth and started licking all over my inner mouth and tongue, And the shock, this gorgeous, hunk Ranger, fuck man. his eyes were penetrating,
his white teeth, everything about just screamed sex, I was hotter than hell at that moment and said yea! I really do know what you mean and I watched him stand up and start by removing his shirt and then his boots and then his trousers, sock and down to his white briefs bulging with masculine goodness and I was lost, I had been reduced to a blubbering fool and was muttering and blundering and studdering and I said oh fuck man, I want you bad just do what ever you want to me, and he removed his briefs and that eight inch really thick cock was standing at attention like a true soldier and I said onward march and I just jumped down and engulfed his cock to the hilt in one swift move, He jumped back a little and said Hold on there buckaroo! lets do this together and he started undressing me, there we stood before all god and nature naked both with rageing hard cocks and nuts about to explode and I said wanna come into my tent and lay with me, He said I thought you'd never ask and smiled and then he grabbed something from his shorts and came into the tent, and as soon as we hit the sleeping bag we were all over each like 'stink on dogshit' I wanted to swallow this guy whole and then we got into a sixtynine position and started sucking each other and I thought, fuck at this rate I won't last long, His cock tasted fantastick and mine felt that way. Mark was hilting my cock and taking his tongue while my cock was deep in his throat and licking my nutsack with his tongue. No one had ever done that to me not even Professor Killion.
well Mark was sucking and wimpering and grunting all at the same time and so was I, I wanted his cream so bad I was about to take a bite out of his cock. Mark was just steadily working my cock over and then I felt his cock jerking and shooting into my mouth and fuck man that did it, took me over the edge and I started shooting my load and It was fucking awesome, Mark was sucking like a starving baby after the milk in a bottle and I was giving it to him, He layed back with my cock still in his hand after licking it totally clean and said that was fucking marvelous and then he said You were the first uncut man I have ever sucked off, I said really, he said really man and I loved it, I had been told about them and seen a few but your my first, I leaned over and kissed him and said well man you can have access to mine anytime you want, He said can I sleep here with you, I said don't you have a superior to report to, he smiled and said, I am the superior Ranger at this post, I said fuck man I just blew a superior officer and giggled and he laughed and we layed back and he said can I sleep with you in my arms and I said It would be my pleasure.
We awoke with morning wood as usual and Mark reached over and said lets start the day out right and he grabbed my hard cock and said try this on for size and he jumped up and set down on my hard cock and started pumping my cock into his ass and fuck man it was so hot and it took about three minutes and I was shooting my load up his turd tunner and It was fucking fenominal and I said me now, he said can't got to get back to the ranger station for morning reports. I said will you come back He said every night while your here, if you want? and He did every night while I was there and we almost fucked and sucked ourselves raw. We are still, to this day best buds and guess what I decided what I wanted to do with my life since college, I am now a Forest Ranger in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and guess who is my Superior Officer, My friend and partner Mark.

A MAN has been taken to hospital with multiple gun shot wounds after driving himself to a home in Banyo and raising the alarm.
The man was reported to have suffered serious wounds at an unknown location before driving himself to a private residence in St Vincent's Road, in Brisbane's north.
Police have now revealed the man who suffered multiple gun shot wounds - Brisbane's third shooting victim in 12 hours - is a member of outlaw motorcycle gang the Rebels.
Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett said police were still waiting to speak with the victim, who was undergoing surgery today.
"He received multiple gunshot wounds in the torso and the leg," he said.
"He's undergoing surgery but I understand the latest advice is the injuries are not life threatening at this stage."
Mr Barnett said the man was a full member of the Rebels.
"The information we have is that the victim is a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang but it's yet to be determined whether that membership has anything to do with the circumstances of the offence.
"We have no reason to believe that there is presently any tension that might have led to this and as I said, the fact that this individual happens to be a member of a gang may be purely coincidental and unrelated to the circumstances surrounding the shooting."
Metro North RDO, Inspector Mark Laing said the 45-year-old man presented at the house in Banyo around 2.55am.
"He spoke to a person known to him and claimed to have been injured by a firearm," Insp Laing said.
"As a result the occupants of the residence contacted ambulance and police were advised."
Insp Laing said detectives and forensic investigators were at the scene this morning and secured the house and a vehicle.
It is still unknown however what exactly happened to the man and where he was when he suffered the wounds.
"The reasons for his injuries are still subject of investigation," Insp Laing said.
"What it was, how it was and all that is still under investigation."
Insp Laing said he did not see the man before he was rushed to hospital where he is now undergoing surgery for "serious" injuries.
An emergency service spokeswoman said paramedics were called to the scene to treat the man for gun shot wounds.
While his condition is unknown it is understood the man was shot in his arm, shoulder and hip.
He was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
One officer remains at the scene guarding the house, at the corner of Chapel St.
Officers spoke briefly to one neighbour and also collected evidence in a brown paper bag.
It is understood that associates of the man living at the house raised the alarm.
The residents of the home are assisting police with their investigation into the incident.
The suspected shooting follows two separate incidents in Brisbane on Thursday.
Police are hunting a gunman who shot a Pimpama man at his home yesterday during a bid to steal a utility and two trail bikes.
And a 24-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting a man in the face in an incident at Mount Gravatt.
At this stage, police do not consider the shootings to be linked.
