By Shep Newcombe, staff reporter

NEW YORK CITY - Representatives from the top thirty of this years Fortune 500 companies gathered at the Hilton Hotel today for the annual Christmas party. 2005's companies include Wal-Mart, Taylor Steel, ExxonMobil, Shaw-Littel, and Boeing.

This year, Taylor Steel and Shaw-Littel lead the pack in first and second place. Although Everett and Sofia Taylor were unable to attend, due to the expected birth of their first child, brother Hamilton Taylor and wife Evelyn Maclarin (of Maclarin Industries) attended in their place. Taylor is a justice of the Illinois State Superior Court, but is nonetheless one of his brother's most trusted businesss partners and an able representative of Taylor Steel.

Shaw-Littel has CEO Jacqueline Shaw attending. Shaw, 57, inherited control of the company after founder Alexander Shaw passed away. Company president Dennis Littel remains in Boston.

The festivities begin today and are scheduled to end December 30.







This is what I do instead of writing. Currently, I'm...I'm not going to tell you how many words I'm behind in NaNoWriMo.

Oh, if I had any graphical talent at all, I'd totally be doing something similar. And I really like the news article; I like seeing epistolary elements like that.

No, I'm totally not procrastinating; why do you ask?

It's fun to do graphics. I mean, I don't have any fancy schmancy programs, but it's good to have the visual reference. I mean, I did it for Omerta and City of Ghosts too. It's like - like cover art, you know? That stuff's sweet to look at. I'm the kind of person who occasionally stops in the middle of a paragraph to close the book and stare at the cover art for awhile.

The news article was mainly just because I didn't want to just jump straight into the narrative of the story; I also wanted to give a little background on the characters and situation. There's another news article, about the Chicago Mob, that lets spill a little more, especially about the mystery portion of the story. I do news articles a lot, just to get background for myself - last year I started to do a bunch on the Constantine Family history from an outsider's POV, but I never got past the first article.

This is why I don't write for the Alutant (school newspaper). I make too much stuff up to be a good reporter.

I'm still behind, darn it, and I went to bed at 10:45 and got up at 5:30 because of writing.
