So last night I was talking to Jane and giving her the run down of what it was like to unpack the things from Spencer returning all my stuff from my life in Asia.
Of course we kind of do the whole loop conversation of everything that has happened from these last 2-3 months and then she said, "you know this is all so weird that I think at some point we may look back on this time in your life and wonder if it ever really happened." I know it is definitely surreal and complicated and unlike anything I have ever heard about which leaves me so darn frustrated!
Jane tried to reason with me that I've had a rough last 2-3 months and a crazy last 5 years really. I mean I have lived in 3 different countries, graduated from an undergraduate and doctorate degree, started a career, got engaged/married, and many many more crazy things. Jane assured me that really maybe THIS is the bottom of the barrel THIS is the worst the lowest of the low and it is all up from here. 2011 is the start of my upswing in life.
So in a burst of caffeine and giddy girl chat-induced-non-thinking-stupor I blurted out "well if this is NOT the bottom and 2011 doesn't end up better maybe I will just disappear, change my name, move to a different country, dye my hair blond, choose a new career, and start all over."
Then Jane said the most profound thing ever..."Teagan didn't you already try that."
I sat in stunned silence thinking about it because it really felt like a stream of subconscious and a blurting out of words without a cortical drive behind it (which I KNOW is impossible).
She is right in a sense...I have "disappeared" in a sense from my Canadian girls' lives, and moved/travelled to multiple different countries.
In 2004 I moved to Texas.
In 2008 I moved to Pennsylvania.
In 2009 I moved to Asia.
In 2010 I moved from Asia thinking it would be to the South USA but ran into complications that I thought was a temporary (now not so temporarily hold) in Canada.
Each move in a sense was "starting over".
Between 2004-now I have travelled to Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, USA, Canada, Dominican Republic, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and South Korea. I totally have the travel bug and I love it and realize I'm pretty lucky to have been where I have.
My hair has been blond...really blond think like Kendra Wilkinson/Holly Madison blond which is a big shift considering I have the natural hair colour of Kim Kardashian.
I have in a sense chosen a new career because I didn't finish with just my undergraduate degree.
The only things I really haven't done is change my name ...wait a second if you count getting married then I HAVE freaking changed my name (not officially/legally)...oh my god I'm a mess! Either that or my subconscious is playing a big fat joke on me.
Jane then as gently as possible when she gave me a moment to process said, "why don't you give being Teagan a chance...in the country she is from...with her really good friends."
That is where I'm torn. I never wanted to live in Canada (let me explain!) part of me cried for more adventure, a break from the mundane, was so worried about getting stuck behind, more so getting stuck in my city where I grew up. I always said I didn't know why people would purposely choose to live where it is cold and miserable 3-5 months of the year. I want to live where I love and I want to love where I live. I don't want to be one of those people that lives for their vacation to a warmer climate. I wanted to grab life by the reigns and live my dream life. Safe to say I've hit a few barriers on that road of life. Also safe to say at this point I have no choice. I can't run away in the immediate future to a different country (plus I think my parents and friends might disown me if I did this AGAIN). So Canada it is...for now. However, I need to start consciously liking it more (tough to do with this sh*tty January weather). I need to look at the things I do love about Canada...I mean it could be way WAY worse. I think part of it is it felt like I was getting my DREAM PERFECT LIFE and then it was all taken away in an instant (thank you d*psh*t Spencer). So I guess I will try Jane's suggestion (not that I have a choice really...it is the only logical and smart decision at the moment). So I will force myself to like it...fake it 'till you feel it or what not.
I really am very proud and grateful to be Canadian.
**If you are looking for MyExBoyfriendProject it is the Right side.** Those who know me know my love for things pop culture and reality tv. I love a good heroine and girl who comes out on top...because I want to. Once a girl named Lauren chose a boy over an intership in Paris. I have made similar misguided mistakes...but Lauren made it to Paris (a year later). I hope to make it to my Paris (both literally and not). Here are my struggles, wants, wishes, hopes and fears as I make it there.

You'll meet them all, starting Sunday at 9am.
If you're not a finalist, you were tenth. Trust me.
So does this mean that the finalists already know they are finalists?
@Amanda--that was the same question I had!
Either way, thanks for the update, Janet!
Blogger will probably eat this too -- it's eaten every attempt so far -- but thank you. This has been an epic, hilarious, kick-in-the-pants motivator as well as a great and wonderful thing for you and Liz and all of your exhausted judges to do. I'd never sent a manuscript to a contest before and haven't queried in several years. I'm motivated now. Who knew anxiety and delight could mix so well?
Resignation and Fortitude; two tools writers cannot be caught without.
Resignation to make it through the constant rejections, and fortitude to keep writing despite them.
Regardless of the outcome, it has been an honor and privilege to be included among such a fine group of writers.
We need neither fortitude nor resignation on this glad occasion, now do we?
Good writing, Janet said. Great writers, she added.
We all win.
@ Lydia- I couldn't agree more! Well said!
I second that, Lydia. Or 222nd it. Thanks so much to Liz Norris, you Janet, and all the other judges. What a trip!
Congratulations to everyone who entered. Thank you to Janet, Liz and all the readers.
Congratulations to the finalists! It's been quite a trip :-)
Thanks so much for making this possible, Janet
WOOT! Tenth! My dream come true! I couldn't have done it without all you little people. I'd like to thank my agent...oh wait.
Janet, thank you so much for hosting and all the immensely hard and time-consuming work you've put into this. It's been a time to remember.
Excited to read Liz's book, excited to see you have a good year.
Thanks so much, it's meant more than I can say.
Okay, well I'm overwhelmed. I have been reading people's blogs and websites and I am thinking I must be a slacker. I think I am out of my league here -- not surprising, I know. It has been amazing to try to get my feet wet with looking into publishing, but maybe I am in way over my head. At least I am comforted to know that I have had a great run with some really sensational people and I can see where Janet and her readers had a difficult time choosing. What an amazing group. Congrats to all those who made it as a finalist and a super well done to all those in tenth place.
Fun times. Thanks, Janet and Transylvanians, for your efforts. And thanks to all the entertaining contestants who have commented on this blog. It's been a fun ride.
And tenth place gets a query critique, right? If you never thought sharks scream...
Janet, maybe run your own conference for the 400? Talk about guaranteed client base.
Wait, um, this contest was for unpublished author's first novels? As in very first, right?
Rick...unpublished writers. How many novels you have under your coffin is not my concern.
Janet, i keep those in a hole in the avocado tree out back.
I assume 'meet' them means we get to hear their answers to the questions previously posted, yes? I'm excited. :) This will be fun. Congratulations to all nine finalists!
Well, it was my first novel, period, Rick. And I thought the same thing.
As Sue said, I too am feeling way out of my league.
I'm so happy to have been able to participate though. Sue, out of our league or not, we have to keep going. Don't give up. I won't if you won't! :-)
Thanks so much, Janet and Liz and all the other mysterious judges! This has been a nail-biting adventure for sure!
PS. My next query will FINALLY have something in the bio section: "Took tenth place in the Liz Norris Pay It Forward Contest!"
I was just wondering if there was any significance to your numbering of finalists. Three, five, six,... Where is four?
Perhaps that was after one too many celebratory drinks having narrowed the entries from 400+ to nine?
Either way, thank you for all of your time and effort.
Lisa, well, we initially thought we'd have three finalists. Then you guys turned in AMAZING work. (Have I mentioned this annoyed me in a very happy way enough times yet??)
So we thought, ok five. Then it was six. Then here came one too good to leave off: seven.
Crap, can't leave this one out: eight.
"Leave this one out? I'll defenestrate myself AND you too," snarled the QueryBunny. So then there were nine.
You didn't make this easy.
Merciless you were.
Please stay away from the windows!
You did mention that you were happily annoyed several times and for that we thank you! To have the hope that you were one of the talented new writers is amazing.
Now the rest of us can cheer on the lucky finalists, applaud Liz's launch, and continue our search for an agent with a little more confidence than we had before this contest.
Again, thank you for an amazing experience.
Well I won't stop writing, I've done that all my life. What I do now, I don't know. I think maybe try getting one of my other novels edited and tidied. I used probably the most controversial one, so I cannot tell if it is the subject or writing. Aside from a lot of technical/business writing, I have never had anyone read anything I have written until very recently. I thought to investigate the writing world beyond my own pleasure. I will have to decide what to do now. Unfortunately, my work does not allow for free time so I do not have quite as much time for much other than working, keeping up with my property and writing. What did you write about?
I haven't seen this question in the comments (apologies if you've already seen it). Would you say that most of the submissions to the contest were publishable or close? Are any of them publishable(including the finalists)?
Yes, I know we writers are neurotic, but I'm trying to gauge whether to go through another round of edits or to start querying.
Thank you.

The early morning elephant safari and breakfast over, the other members of our group retired to their rooms to catch up on sleep. The Boss and I however consider sleeping during the day a waste of valuable time, particularly when travelling so we decided to explore our surroundings.
The early morning chill had eased by now and warmed by the sun we wandered out of the resort and down the dirt tracks that make up the access through the village.
A mother passes by, dressed in a traditional sari with a woolen shawl draped over her shoulders. Her young daughter walking beside her on the way to the village school, a picture of Mickey Mouse smiling back at us from her back pack filled with school books. A row of Safari jeeps waiting for their next trip into the jungle, their would-be occupants still breakfasting or napping after the elephant safari.
The village is spotless, not a speck of garbage to be seen. It's a sad fact that in India most populated areas are strewn with plastic and garbage yet here there is nothing.
As we venture further up the lane we see the villagers busy tending their gardens, collecting eggs, or just drying their luxuriant black hair in the sun. Without fail we were greeted with beautiful smiles and a cheery "good morning". Tiny goats and cows wander freely around the lanes their diminutive size making one think that we had wandered into some lost Lilliputian world.
A boy runs past chortling with glee as he pushes an inner tube in front of him with a stick. More pleasure than any PlayStation or Xbox can provide.
Spotting a sign for craft teas we wander tentatively through the gate to see what we can find. A young boy runs out of the house, all eyes and sparkling white teeth. "Good morning "he greets us, "would you like to see our looms?" Captivated by this little angel we follow him into a large hall, where a number of bamboo framed looms are set up. A lady appears, silently seating herself at one of the looms and proceeds to weave a traditional Assamese pattern. The boy explains what she is doing and then shows us another loom where cloth is being woven using a mixture of cotton and recycled materials. The result, a table runner sparkling with the colored foil in the weft, yet still soft to the touch.
We are joined by the boy's mother, an attractive, effervescent lady, and she explains that she is running a self-help group to empower the local women, teaching them skills and providing them with looms if they are unable to afford it themselves. She also has a shop selling the finished goods as well as organic teas.
By now the whole family has joined us and we chat for a while, eventually making plans to join them for a traditional Assamese breakfast the next morning.
We leave their compound still stunned by the eldest son telling us that he is studying English Literature and that his favorite writer is Christopher Marlowe! India never fails to surprise!
Exiting the gate we look back and see the entire family lined up waving and smiling.
Walking back into the resort we hear a strange sound from high in the trees. A gardener beckons me over and points to a large bird perched on top of one of the trees. It's a Great Hornbill and as I frantically grab for my camera and remove the lens cap it launches into flight, the whoosh whoosh from it's 1.5m wingspan like the sound of a helicopter's rotors starting up. It's an incredible sight and though I fail to take a decent photo, the sight and sound of this magnificent bird will remain with me forever.
A great omen for the days to come when we journey to Nagaland for the Hornbill Festival. ( KiwiGypsy, The Boss, and Tommy, traveled to Assam with India Trail)

StreamNet Technology is a solution from the ground up for real time media streaming and control over Internet Protocol.
StreamNet was conceived with the notion that the Internet provides a means for the consumption and distribution of rich media content to anyone anywhere.
In fact, the StreamNet context is that sources may or may not exist within the same premises as the display and speakers. Instead, sources can come and go from a premise, they can be only online, or they can live in the premise scattered around a physical location or simply streamed in by demand over the ubiquitous broadband connection.
The underlying technology of StreamNet is a fully network connected device, in fact, StreamNet devices look like any other network connected device on a network, you can look for their IP address, you can browse to them, you can even interrogate them like a network device to determine their status. On top of this strong base that is provided by the IP network StreamNet adds a number of important benefits.
StreamNet distributes uncompressed and compressed audio and video, synchronized across any number of multiple zones without any centralized control point or matrix switch. Additionally, StreamNet devices self-configure on the network and they can manage and assign their own IP addresses, advertise their capabilities to other devices on the network and discover the capabilities of any other device on the network. This enables easy provisioning and simple maintenance while providing incredible flexibility.
The control in the StreamNet system is completely decentralized. The removal of any one device, source, display, speaker, or user interface does not impact the system the other devices simply work to build logical connections between devices.
In terms of the requirements for audio distribution, StreamNet was designed from the ground up to address these. StreamNet Connected speaker solutions have been deployed to hundred of synchronous zones of audio. In fact, the limit on the number of StreamNet Connected devices on a network has not been reached yet. Additionally, StreamNet Connected IPcspeakers scale linearly, you only buy what you need to use.
StreamNet Ready Partners enjoy the ability for their products to work seamlessly together with other devices as part of the StreamNet Ecosystem. StreamNet Technology translates your native control protocol to Lua protocol allowing your device to run effortlessly in a StreamNet control system ecosystem. StreamNet Ready Partners are market leaders in;

All you'll need to do is provide us with your UDP/IP, TCP/IP, 485, 422, 232 or IR protocol and we'll do the rest. Our team of developers will create the Applications necessary to allow your devices to be assimilated into the StreamNet Ecosystem ready to be integrated by a vast number of installing dealers in both the residential and commercial markets.

The Pershing Square show on Saturday was amazing. They rocked the place. Enjoy!
Great review Mick. If I'm not mistaken this is the first time they have done the title track "Beautiful Friction" live? Nice! I think this will be one of my favorite new songs from the release.
Surprised that no one has posted about The Ramona show yet? It was outstanding! The place was a little off the beaten path , but well worth the trip. A night after seeing them at The Bowl we were...
I'm pretty sure their work on the album is done. I think it is now into the stage of management making the distribution deal which is really hard to say how long that will take?
Shoeman is right...
Beautiful Friction is correct. I saw Cy here in L.A. last week and he said the mixing is almost done!
Ooops! Thanks Lisa! This one was up on the website for a week or two with no responses? I thought the Fixxtures would like seeing this song live since it is rarely in the set list. Complete with an...
The first one is also the toughest.

Was going to guess that but it seemed too obvious...I pieced together a video on youtube for Outside = the Woodland version using a lot of outdoorsy nature footage a while ago. I...
While we wait for more dates...
Great to see so many TFF fans on here. Got to see them here in LA right before they left for their Austrailian tour. Used an HD flip camera up near the front and shot a lot of video.
I just rediscovered Real Time Stood Still. Much better than I remember.
When I first bought the CD back when it came out, I sort of dismissed it as just another live recording and like you...

Windows 10 1709 Build 16299 Latest Creators Update Ultra Slow File Sharing Fix
I tested this on two PC's using the same version & file sharing achieved only 500KB/s. No matter what I changed it could not achieve Gigabit performance file sharing, on any configuration.
Using Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet & 57xx adapter on both PC's
To fix the issue I had to use Windows 10 1703 Build 15063 & the issue is completely resolved now achieving upwards of 120MB/s now.
Both/ All PC's need to be on Win10 1703 Build 15063 x64 & unplugged ethernet during setup & before plug ethernet in, go to Services.msc & disable Windows Update set Disabled.
Windows Update is real nightmare because it is most likely to break the entire operating system.

It amazes me how often I go into a company and there is always a battle that is unseen. From the outside, it looks like everything is a well oiled machine. Until I dive in deeper and quickly find out what is truly happening. And it isn't something out of the ordinary but rather very typical.
It's the Unseen battle between Sales, Marketing and Business Development.
Marketing has their year planned out already. Trade shows, user conferences, webinars, white papers, campaigns. And it's like the gun going off at a track meet, BAM! They are off and running, no looking back.
Sales - Make your numbers people. Go sell!
Business Development - Build that pipeline and just do what we say. Dial, Dial, Dial.
And the sad part is, this is very typical. Granted, it might not be this cold-hearted but all in all, it's very typical.
A deeper look and find that:
Here are some key areas to help address and make it a well oiled machine.
Have a BD rep hop on a prospect call with the sales rep. This will do a lot more than reading any case study. Hearing how the sales rep talks, works, and speaks about challenges & success, will increase leads in a huge way! Better quality for sure.
4. Send Business Development to Trade shows & Not Sales. Why? The truth is, unless sales brings a contract or is planning on signing deals AT the trade show rather than just networking, then keep sales out of trade shows.
1. For starters, a sales rep does not want to be at a trade show for 3 days. Nonetheless, standing in a booth waiting to talk to people. They much rather be out selling and making their numbers.
2. I know the typical mindset is to set appointments for sales reps AT trade shows BUT unless they are going to sign a contract AT the trade show there is no point in doing this. Because the prospective company is going to want another meeting ON SITE at their location anyway.
3. The perception of a sales rep at a trade show shows that a company is NOT making sales and needs to have their reps there to meet prospects. Having key people just waters down their value and looks desperate. BD reps can do this. Meet. Qualify. Gain contacts. Then they have more credibility with the prospects and set up a meeting with the sales rep, who is now truly valuable in the eyes of the prospect, since they were not at the show.
4. BD reps will learn more and gain more by being at a trade show. Now I do stress trade shows for BD reps only & not sales. But it is valuable for both BD reps & sales to be at a user conference. Having both BD and sales running around a user conference will increase the value you put on BD reps as Subject Matter Experts and increase prospecting, while sales can do the selling at the user conference. And when BD reps return to the phones after the show, watch how much more quality comes out of leads they generate now and how many more wins come out of it.
5. Everyone play nice. Sales, Marketing, Business Development all have goals. There is always pressure. It works a lot easier when everyone involved works together. No matter what is coming from the top.

As some of you may have realized, Basilisk updates are automatic (by default) and the browser will automatically update itself. This doesn't necessarily get announced on the forum or elsewhere, because Basilisk will be a "rolling release" type as UXP gets developed. Internally we do keep some milestone goals to solve bugs against, for proper prioritization of issues, but that doesn't necessarily translate 1:1 to publications.
Published builds will be tagged in the source tree with "vYYYY.MM.DD" and indicated in our release notes on http://www.basilisk-browser.org/releasenotes.shtml -- other tags in the source tree are used internally and are not official publication commits. Therefore, if you plan to maintain a package distro for Linux, only use the vYYYY.MM.DD commits to build from source, and make sure to disable the internal updater if you plan to use the package manager/repository to provide updates. Binary redistribution in unaltered form on Linux is also an option, but be aware that updates will not work unless you have installed Basilisk in a user-writable location.

Is the end of a tax credit a tax increase? That was the question Republican senators were forced to ponder as they mulled their vote on the amendment Tuesday that would have ended ethanol support. According to reports from wire services and The Hill, a Washington, D.C., news service, Republicans were under pressure from American for Tax Reform that lobbied against the Coburn amendment on the grounds that elimination of any tax break - even corporate subsidies - had to be offset by other tax cuts.
The group viewed the ending of the tax credit for ethanol - by itself - as a tax increase, which ATR was completely against. The group was in favor of merging that idea with a move to end estate taxes, but on its own ATR was against the Coburn move.
Some say the ATR approach creates a climate that would stall any moves to end tax credits - no matter who the beneficiary may be. Whether that becomes the general rule in Washington remains to be seen. The Coburn amendment, which needed 60 votes to pass the Senate failed 59-against to 40 in favor.
Meanwhile, trade groups applauded the Senate's move to defeat the measure. Tom Buis, CEO, Growth Energy, notes: "The fight is not over until we achieve real reform for the ethanol industry, but this vote sends a signal that there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. For more than a year, Growth Energy has advocated for our Fueling Freedom plan, which would phase out the VEETC in a fiscally responsible way, while redirecting the funds toward ethanol infrastructure build out. Opening the fuels market to ethanol, through Flex Fuel pumps and Flex Fuel vehicles, would give consumers a choice at the pump and allow us to ultimately eliminate all government assistance."
Jim Reed, president, Illinois Corn Growers Association, says defeat of the Coburn amendment "indicates that the Senate understands the vital role ethanol plays in the overall health of the U.S. economy. Domestic ethanol production provides jobs in rural areas and provides savings at the pump every time cash-strapped American fuel up."
In a press statement, ICGA adds that " change is necessary as our government endeavors to make prudent budget decisions. That's why ICGA has for months been in support of an immediate move to a variable ethanol tax credit and incentives to promote infrastructure development to deliver homegrown, renewable fuels to retail locations around the country."

AceShowbiz - Hotel heiress Paris Hilton knows how to make use of her hard-partying hobby to earn more money. Now the star has found a way to turn her taste for the nightlife into cold, hard cash.
Paris admits she gets paid in between $150,000 and $200,000 to put in a 20-minute appearance at a party. And when the party is in Japan then she gets more. Further she told the New York Times she's been working hard for the last year and a half to market herself as a legitimate talent and she's had mostly positive results from it.

Rayquaza, Reshiram, and Zekrom: These three dragon-type Pokemon represent Daenerys' three dragons the green Rhaegal, the white Viserion, and the black Drogon.
Rapidash: The fiery horse Pokemon represents Khal Drogo, leader of the horselords of Essos, who trekked across the burnt desert with Daenerys as his Khaleesi.
Ursaring: The bear represents Ser Jorah Mormont, of Bear Island Daenerys' bodyguard and advisor.
Hydreigon: The three-headed dragon-type Pokemon represents House Targaryen's sigil of a three-headed dragon. I know she already has three dragons in this, but c'mon, just go with it.
Glaceon: The ice-type Eevee evolution represents Ghost, Jon Snow's direwolf companion.
Beartic: The ice-type bear Pokemon represents Jon Snow's home in the icy North.
Murkow: The crow Pokemon represents Jon Snow's pledge to the Night's Watch who often are referred to as 'crows' by the Wildlings.
Cubone: The ground-type, mother's skull-wearing Pokemon represents the death of Jon Snow's mother, an event that has defined him for much of his life. Also, like Cubone, Jon Snow is sad ALL THE TIME.
Lampent: Lampents steal spirits away, sorta like those ice-zombie things north of the Wall. Also, they're ghosts, and Jon Snow has a direwolf named Ghost? Yeah, it's a stretch, but so is the entire idea of Pokemon existing in this series.
Froslass: Well, this is a ghost and an ice-type. Jon Snow's always up in the ice, plus his last name is 'Snow,' and the whole "having a dog named Ghost" thing. Although, if we're being honest here, Jon Snow's got a lot on his hands already, he doesn't really have time to be training Pokemon. And if he were training Pokemon for some reason, he probably would just make the best team he possibly could not stick to some kind of personal "theme." Like, he probably wouldn't really want THREE Ice-types.
Entei: It's a lion? And that's the sigil of House Lannister? I know it's a Legendary Pokemon and all, but whatever, maybe they bought it somehow. Yeah, let's go with that. The Lannisters would probably just buy a bunch of awesome Pokemon.
Meowth: He likes money. I mean, he sucks, but the whole money thing works pretty well, right?
Sableye: When I googled "Imp Pokemon," he was the first one to come up, so here we are.
Ludicolo: He seems like he'd be a big party guy Pokemon, right? Tyrion's pretty down with partying too. Also, there was no "wine Pokemon." Or "grape Pokemon." Maybe there will be in X/Y though, so maybe I should have held off on this another month or so.
Snorlax: He's lazy? Tyrion's pretty lazy for a while in the beginning.
Missingno: Well, many in Westeros view little people as aberrations from nature, so
well, I know Missingno isn't "technically" an actual Pokemon but
c'mon guys. Are you gonna start disagreeing or something? These are two entirely separate fantasy universes, so agreeing or disagreeing is pointless. There are no Pokemon in Westeros, period. This is just one guy on the internet combining two things the internet likes with a bare minimum amount of logic applied. I mean, if Pokemon WERE in this world, the entire history would probably be a whole lot different. Really, if any society had Pokemon that were real in it, everyone would be dead so fast. Like, look at some of these things. There are so many dragons and fire-horses and ghosts and FLOATING WHALES and all kinds of crazy monsters that would kill everything in their path. Then again, pretty much everyone in these books do get horribly killed. So maybe it DOES make sense to put them together?
All I know is that if you WERE going to combine Pokemon and Game of Thrones, you would pretty much have to have Melisandre giving birth to a Gastly.
All right. Fine.

I am loving the fact that flares are IN this season. I actually bought these jeans back in high school, believe it or not, and I love being able to pull out old pieces and adding them back into my wardrobe. Also, I love tucking in my crisp, white button-down shirt with a pair of denims. It adds such a classic, yet simple touch.
Sidenote: this week has been a tough one, that's for sure.
Monday was just a crazy whirlwind of a day, and Tuesday wasn't looking any better. But now that we're halfway through the week, and it is officially the first day of fall...
here's to hoping the rest of the week gets better.

Futon, Nishi Azabu 胡同 西麻布
This is a place where you need to cook your own food, which is something I don't usually go for. But this is much better than your average yakiniku restaurant with lots of different marinated meats and vegetables. It's a fun place and not at all expensive. For two people we ate till we were well stuffed and had about four beers each and got out of it for around 10,000 yen.

New Training Quarters To Have
Milk Bar for Apprentice Boys
A feature of the consolidation of
training activities in the former No. 3
Bachelor Quarters (see page 8) will be
a "milk bar" for serving a mid-morning
snack to boys in the first two years of
the apprentice program. A separate
room is being provided in the building,
where the study routine will be relaxed
for a few minutes each morning while
the boys have milk and crackers. The
apprentices will bear a part of the cost,
and participation will be voluntary.
No new idea, the mid-morning lunch
is common practise in many schools in
the United States. Doctors agree that
youths of school age need the energy
provided by frequent small meals, that
they are able to give better attention to
their studies and remain more alrt if
not required to go for hours without
This applies especially to boys in the
apprentice program, many of whom. liv-
ing in outlying districts, must have
breakfast by 5 a.m. in order to reach

Drawing Takes Place for
Sale of Twelve Co. Houses
The Company's plan to help relieve
the housing shortage in San Nicolas
through the sale of 12 surplus Colony
bungalows went into operation April 17
with a drawing to determine which ap-
plicants were to receive the houses.
Deciding by lottery was necessary, since
17 applications were received for the 12
bungalows available.

Aviation Insurance Available
For Employees Traveling On
Commercial Airlines
Among various benefits available to
employees of the Company is aviation
insurance, providing insurance protec-
tion against aviation accidents while
traveling as passengers on various ap-
proved airlines.
It is attractive not only to employees
who travel frequently, but also to those
making a single flight in the course of
a period of employment, because of the
low rates charged.
There are two varieties, basic and
extended. Basic insurance covers flights
on domestic airlines in the U.S.A., K.L.
M. and Pan American Airways in their
Caribbean and South Amer'c-n servi-es.
and various other specified :nes. The
annual rate is $1.40 per thousand dollars
of coverage. The extended irsura-c'. on
which the premium is $3.e8 per thou-
sand, includes all travel covered by the
basic type, plus any flights in the West-
ern Hemisphere in regularly licensed
passenger planes, or in military planes.
The insurance year ruis from the first
day of March to the last day of Februa-
ry, regardless of when the insurance is
taken out. The full premium is ch-rged
if application is made between March 1
and September 1, and half premium is
charged for coverage started between
September 1 and March 1.
The Personnel department can supply
full details to any employees interested
in this type of group insurance.

A letter has just been received from President
W. J. Haley's office in New York, commenting on
the production record of Lago's new aviation gas-
oline facilities. Although the actual production in
barrels cannot be published, high praise is given to
the entire Aruba organization for the continuous
operation since the initial start in December, 1943,
and for a daily production greater than originally
Mr. Haley says: "With full credit to the develop-
ment and design organizations for the performance
of the equipment in question, all here feel that this
record is one which stands as a splendid credit to
the entire Aruba personnel, management and staff
alike. Messrs. Gallagher, Holman, and Abrams have
asked to be included in the congratulations which
are extended to you all".

Sheep graze freely along Aruba's coun-
try roads, but are penned up in corrals
each night. Each owner has his own
brand for identifying his sheep, an ear-
mark that is registered with the govern-
ment. The animals are used as a source
of meat, and sheep milk is commonly
used. This flock was photographed
near Santa Cruz.

At the request of the "Knickerbocker
Weekly" magazine's editors, General
Manager L. G. Smith prepared an ar-
ticle oa Aruba's development in recent
years, for publication in the January 31
issue of that magazine.
As it will be of interest to many
readers of the ARUBA ESSO NEWS,
the text is republished below.

On all recent maps that include the
Caribbean Sea, Aruba is prominently in-
dicated in bold type, even on work
maps to a small scale. Not long ago,
one had to look on a large scale chart
of the Caribbean to find more than a
mere dot indicating it. Aruba of recent
years has become politically and econo-
mically important, especially since 1939
when her petroleum products became
munitions for the United Nations.
Aruba is small (area 65 square miles),
arid (14 inches annual rainfall) and
lacking in natural resources, so it had
little to offer the world until someone
wanted a safe deep harbor in which to
transfer the rapidly-increasing produc-
tion of Lake Maracaibo crude oil from
the shallow draft lake tankers into
ocean-going tankers for transport to
world markets. Aruba met the specifica-
tions it is the nearest island to Ma-
racaibo, its lee shore lagoons protected
by coral reefs make perfect deep har-
bors, and its Government has centuries
of commercial experience. Therefore in
1925 Aruba was chosen for an oil port
and her new life began.

by private enterprise. The village of San
Nicolas adjoining the Lago has a popu-
lation of 10,000, and Oranjestad, the
seat of the Government ten miles to the
west, has more than doubled in size. In
general the business men have provided
satisfactory facilities but in many cases
ramshackle buildings have been put up
to serve an immediate purpose and are
still standing because the war has stop-
ped new construction. Irrespective of
this, however, the Government maintains
a high standard of cleanliness and sani-
tation throughout the island.
The Government Public Works Depart-
ment has been constantly busy providing
public facilities and buildings. The only
source of fresh water is the meager and
uncertain rain, therefore a distillation
plant to make fresh water from sea water
with a capacity of 200,000 gallons per
day has been built, with a 20-rzile pipe
line distribution system. Additions are
made to it frequently but there is never
enough fresh water to supply all de-
mands so that rain water from cisterns
and slightly brackish well water is also
used. Over 30 miles of paved roads have
been constructed for Aruba's 3,000 auto-
mobiles. Office buildings, Government
employees' houses, markets, schools and
many other things were necessary to
take care of the rapidly increasing popu-
lation, and they have all been built from
current taxes in a substantial manner
and in good taste, setting the example
for private construction.
The Aruban people, who take great
pride in their families, their homes and
property, have taken advantage of the
prosperity by building neat substantial
concrete houses for themselves. The Aru-
ban landscape is dotted with these color-
ful houses occupying the ancestral acres.
In half a generation Aruba has been
thrust from quiet insularity into the
limelight of the world and converted into
a modern industrial community. It is re-
markable that the change was made so
smoothly. The material welfare of the
people is at a high level and they are
ambitious to make it still higher, but the
idea binding all this cosmopolitan gromn
together is the realization that Aruba's
petroleum products are a vital factor in
winning the war for the United Nations
and in the liberation of the Netherlands.
Aruba takes pride in this fact and in
its accomplishments
As it has been for generations past,
brushwood is still the chief source of
fuel in many parts of Aruba. This father

Real Retirement Realized
Jim Bluejacket, possibly the best-
known man ever to be on employee
records here, freshened up old friends'
memories recently with some snapshots
of the life of ease he retired to on July
1, 1943. Two of the best are reproduced
The top picture shows a mess of fish
that he claims is typical of his catches.
(The ink writing on the photograph says
that Wayne Richie, who visited the Blue-
jackets while on vacation, helped eat
them.) The second picture shows the
end-product of a deer hunt, with tiny
"Junior" on top, snarling as if he had
brought down the buck himself.
Another aspect of his retirement not
pictured but told about in a recent let-
ter, was bouncing a grandchild on each
knee, made ioasible by the fact that
Jim's son Freddie, formerly with Chica-
go Bridge, is now with the Carter Oil
Company at Billings, Montana.

one and lost one against an all-star Lago
team the following day.
The morning game went to Curagao 8

pitching assignment for seven innings,
and Carlos Buntin finishing it. The
Lagoites evened the series in the after-
noon, winning 10 to 4, with Antonio

How many times would you have read this ever-so-repeated statement that Bhatts and quality music go hand in hand? Coming up
with a list of movies, both from the past and present, from the house of Bhatts that have more often than not made an
impression with the music lovers would be akin to a 5 year old reciting English alphabet. So yes, the fact remains that even
in case of Jashnn, Vishesh Films' next release, expectations are quite high. Also, since the film is a musical and
Raksha-Hasnain's last outing The Train (that had Mithoon as a composer) boasted of good music, Jashnn comes
with an 'Of-course-you-can-expect-good-music' tag!
In the early years, the Bhatts made quite a few memorable movies with Nadeem Shravan. Then there was Anu Malik and in recent
times it has been Pritam. Following the tradition of working with new blood, Bhatts have now roped in Sharib-Toshi, Nouman
Javaid and Sandesh Shandilya to create six tracks for Jashnn, which is touted to be a true-blue musical entertainer.
Kumaar, Nouman Javaid and Nilesh Mishra are the lyricists.
Sharib-Toshi kick start the album with a marvellous composition 'Nazrein Karam' that has HIT written all over it. With
the reliable team of K K and Shreya Ghoshal coming behind the mike, 'Nazrein Karam' is a melodious romantic number
with some fresh lyrics by Kumaar. Even though the initial arrangements in the song remind of Anand Raaj Anand 'Pyaar Kiya
To Nibhana' (Major Saab), it is a mere coincidence that lasts for a mere 20 seconds. That's because the moment
K.K. holds centre-stage, you know that 'Nazrein Karam' is an absolute fresh composition that has a touch of oriental
mystic to it. A 'Kilogram Mix' version of the song is heard later and as expected works quite well to ensure repeated
listening. A winning start!
Sharib-Toshi, Kumaar and K.K. come together again for 'Aaya Re' that gives an impression of a rock concert in the
first 15 seconds itself. Starting off a little slowly, it starts picking up pace and reaches its crescendo the moment song
hits the one minute mark. A rock performance featuring Adhyayan Suman, this is a kind of song which is designed for a 'star'
and the young actor should be feeling lucky that in his third movie itself, he has got a chance to sink his teeth into a
chartbuster like this. Yet another number that is bound to be popular in first couple of listening itself, it is surprising
that there is no 'remix version' to compliment the original.
Nouman Javaid gets to play the triple role of singer, composer and lyricist with 'Dard -E- Tanhai'. A soft rock number
that belongs to the same genre as 'Zindagi' (The Train), though with an absolutely different tune, 'Dard -E-
Tanhai' heralds the arrival of yet another talented artist in the form of Nouman. The young man gives it all in this
soulful number which makes for a melodious and engaging hearing even though it comes with sad connotations. Lyrics are quite
simple but they do make an impact, especially due to the way Nouman sets the mood as per the situation and allows both the
composer and singer in him equal prominence. The song later arrives in a minute long 'unplugged version' as well and as
expected, doesn't fail to make an impact.
For the 'Kilogram Mix' of the same song, there is an oriental beginning which continues for a rather extended period
(more than a minute) and gets the desired impact on. Also, the moment remixing comes into play; you know that Bhatts have got
'Jashnn' as yet another winner in their kitty!
A new team comes into picture with the arrival of composer Sandesh Shandilya, lyricist Nilesh Mishra and singers Shaan and
Shreya Ghoshal. Titled 'Tere Bin', the song could well be termed as the 'reprise' version of Bhatts' own 'Jab Koyi
Baat Bigad Jaaye' (Jurm). Belonging to good old Bollywood school of melody, 'Tere Bin' gets a certain 'thehrav' in
the album and ensures that more than just being gap filler, it actually ends up adding variety to the album. Also, on hearing
the song carefully, one realizes that coming together of Shaan and Shreya reminds of many a chartbuster tracks that Kumar
Sanu and Alka Yagnik had sung in their heydays!
It's the sound of guitar strings that open 'Main Chala'. Almost an unplugged number with just guitar being Nouman
Javaid's companion (who returns in a triple role once again), 'Main Chala' is an extremely slow moving (yet
interesting) number about the journey of a man who is all alone and has now taken it entirely upon himself to raise himself
from the ashes. A situational number that could well lead to teary eyes if supported by hallmark Mahesh Bhatt brand of
Last to come is the fun track about youngsters coming together to enjoy life and celebrate. Titled 'Aish Karle', the
song marks the return of Sharib and Toshi who also come behind the mike for this Kumaar written track. A number which should
have montages filling in the screen as it plays in the background, 'Aish Karle' is purely situational and though it
doesn't have that 'memorable' quality as evidenced in the entire album so far, it doesn't quite harm the prospects of
Let's give it to the Bhatts; in Jashnn, they are looking for yet another bonafide successful album. Due to a
relatively new star cast the songs, may not see the kind of pick up at the music stands as seen in Emraan Hashmi movies but
due to an intrinsic quality feel to it, there is no ways that Jashnn would go ignored. Each of the songs works in the
album and there are quite a few that would be remembered for many more months to come, just the way numerous Bhatt scores
have in the past.
Pick this one up!

Cristiano Ronaldo bags brace as Real Madrid clinch Champions League
In 2002, Zinedine Zidane scored what many believe to be the greatest ever goal in a UEFA Champions League final . "We are a very good team and in the second-half we showed how good we are". Just seven minutes after Ronaldo's goal, a fine high pass by Gonzalo Higuain found the chest of Manzukic, with the Croatian controlling perfectly and hit it fiercely with a half volley nearly completely backing the goal.

Zidane: Ronaldo better than meUnsurprisingly Ronaldo, the highest scorer in European Cup history, is favorite to score the opening goal. Lineker is expecting a close game at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and thinks Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored eight goals in the quarter and semi-final wins, can ruin Buffon's big day.

Juventus trying to get away back quickly into this game but they have met a brick wall in the Real Madrid defence. The Bianconeri's previous attempt to claim all three trophies in the same season fell at the final hurdle in 2015, with Pirlo part of the side that suffered a 3-1 defeat against Barcelona in the Champions League ...
Near-perfect Kiwis take control of America's Cup qualifiersThe first crew in each of the two semi-finals to win five races progresses to the challenger final and whoever wins that takes on Oracle Team USA for the America's Cup itself. "It is obviously not ideal that we have to postpone races, but that is precisely why we have spare race days in the schedule". "There is definitely a lot of pressure on us", he admitted.
Lions rugby tour, your thoughtsHead coach Gatland admitted no surprise on learning that 78 per cent of Kiwis quizzed in a recent poll could not name a single Lions tourist. "The ideal scenario would've been to have a week in New Zealand before the first game". It took the introduction of Owen Farrell, for the jittery Jonathan Sexton, to calm the Lions nerves, and the game went down the closing seconds when one last Barbarians attack failed in the final minute, ensuring that while it was a poor performance, the Lions at ...
India hold edge against Pakistan: AfridiOver the previous year, England have won six of their seven ODI series - beating Sri Lanka , Pakistan , Bangladesh , Ireland and South Africa at home, and West Indies in the Caribbean .

NFL rule changes bring some fun back to the No Fun LeagueThe league decided it would loosen up the celebration rules, and commissioner Roger Goodell sent out a letter explaining the new policies .

Juan Martin del Potro comforts tearful Nicolas AlmagroWorld number one Murray came from a set down to beat Martin Klizan. The atmosphere was great, as it always is out here.

Oracle beats Kiwis to earn America's Cup match bonus pointEmirates Team New Zealand crosses the finish line 27 seconds after Oracle Team USA in their final race of the America's Cup qualifiers .

Serie A round-up: Moise Kean seals victory for champions JuventusBut Kean, who replaced Argentina playmaker Dybala with 11 minutes to play, had the final say for the Turin giants with a great diving header from Miralem Pjanic's free kick in the 94th minute. He told the club website: 'I am very happy to score this first goal. But with second spot up for grabs, and third-placed Napoli only a point further behind before they travel to Sampdoria, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said Totti's needs come second.
