Setting: Wedding Reception
Place: Chicago
Time: (late at night) 10:15pm
When: April 16, 2012
Characters: New Mother- Chrissy Jackson, 27
Homeless child- Kevin, 8
Photographer- Darwin Loflacker, 49
Old woman- Maribel Munez, 93
Newborn child- Kylie Johnson, 8 months
Bride- Vanessa Carlington
Groom- Brian Carlington
"TO THE LEFT, TO THE LEFT, TO THE RIGHT, TO THE RIGHT, NOW KICK AND KICK, THEN WALK OUT YOURSELF…." Mountains of pumps, sandals, boots, pointy toes and booties were stacked high upon each other while all the women and children danced. Even the gorgeous bride wearing a one of a kind bridal gown with an intricate floral lace design riding up the sides, was busting a move on the dance floor. As the song ended Vanessa, veil in hand, ran across the dance floor to best friend Chrissy.
"Hold this girl I gotta lose these panty hose, this s*** is so far up my a**, I can't even feel my crack anymore." Vanessa exclaimed as she handed Chrissy her veil.
"You are just too much for me sometimes, speaking of too much sometimes, where's Brian." Chrissy questioned
"Oh, he stepped out to the bathroom, his Aunt Mary, the one who tinkles when she laughs, pissed all over him." She responded
"Hahahaha, what the h-" (You'll find us chasing the sun)
"Hole up girl I gotta message."
"W- What?" Chrissy asked
"I said I'm funna go and cut the cake girlie, lets go!" Vanessa repeated.
"What about Brian?"
"He's probably still in the bathroom cleaning up, so I'll just do it by myself."
"Maybe you should wa-"
"Hello, everyone can I have your attention its time for me to cut the cake, I'll be doing it by myself while Brian is in the bathroom cleaning up." Vanessa with Chrissy right by her side grabbed the knife and made the first cut into the life-sized 4-tiered cake. As she finished cutting the cake and was pulling away the knife a drop of something red fell on her dress.
"Ugh, what is that smell?" Chrissy asked. But instead of answering her question Vanessa began clawing through the cake until she reached the center, where a special present was supposed to be hidden for her from Brian, instead she found a bloody maimed Brian, with no eyes. As the smiling faces of relatives, friends, and confused children turned to pure horror, a faint sound could be heard from a single cell phone, indicating that Chrissy had received a message.
"Dammit, what the f*** is wrong with you, Brian is dead and you're TEXTING!" Vanessa shouted.
"Im sorry, but it could have been my baby; look I'm here and im funna help you through this. Everyone listen I know you're all scared and confused but, I have to ask that yall shut the hell up, thank you. Now, I need all the older women to grab the children and move them away from the scene, Im going to need you servers down there to supply our guests with some food and drinks to comfort them, everyone just stay calm. And will someone please get the bride a drink!" Chrissy commanded. As everyone began following Chrissy's orders, she grabbed Vanessa's hands and escorted her to bar, and walked away.
"Where are you going?" Vanessa yelled after her.
"I got some business to handle, don't worry im not leaving" Chrissy replied.
"Aye bartender I'll have a whiskey on the rocks, and make it a double." Chrissy walked right up to the destroyed cake and studied Brian's body. Hmmm, no ropes burns around the neck, or lacerations, no struggle at all, so how the h- oh my. On the back of Brian's head was a hole the size of a fist.
"What the hell?" Chrissy exclaimed as she started investigating the hole in Brian's head, but was interrupted by a whole new wave of screaming, and then a thud. When she looked up Vanessa was passed out on the floor her, with glass lying next to her. She ran to her best friend, and that's when she noticed the eyeball in Vanessa's hand.
"Where's the other eyeball?" She questioned the bartender.
"She umm, umm she, she ate it."
"Excuse me, are you Chrissy Jackson?"
"Ugh, what now, yea that's me."
"Im special agent Morris, I'm here about the body in the cake, I've already questioned the rest of the wedding party and sent them home. My guys and I will take the body an-"
"Look I know your process alright, but there's no need I've checked the body and found two misconnections. Can you get a few EMT's for my friend here?" Chrissy interrupted.
"What happened to her?" Agent Morris questioned
"She passed out when she found her groom's eyeballs in her drink." She replied.
"Ummm, you said 'eyeballs', but there's only one where's the other eyeball?"
"She ate it."
"Alright if you wanna talk, we can talk over there, if not I have to get my friend home and help her throw up her husband's eye."
"Right this way, then." Agent Morris said as he led her across the room to a secluded table.
"Okay, when exactly did you notice that the groom was gone?" He questioned.
"As soon as Vanessa came running off the dance floor, I noticed he wasn't with her." She responded. As they continued the interrogation, Chrissy became more and more aware of the text messages she had been receiving, that led up to these events. She was involved in some sick twisted game that would only get worse by the text.
"NO, IM DONE I TOLD YOU I WAS THROUGH THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS. YOU CAN'T KEEP MANIPULATING ME, IM A HUMAN NOT YOUR PUPPET!" Darwin screamed.
"This is the last time we're, I mean I'm going to make you do this again. I'm sorry I know how you feel about the family business." Maribel calmly replied.
"FAMILY BUISNESS!? NO, THIS IS ALL YOU. YOU'RE AS PSYCHOTIC, AS THEY ALL SAID. I can't believe I let you out.
"If you have no further questions Special Agent Morris, I'd like to take my friend and go home now." Chrissy said.
"I have no further questions, but you will be hearing from me soon Ms. Jackson." He replied. Chrissy grabbed her purse, and held Vanessa's arm to steady her as they walked out to the car, headed to Vanessa's house.
"There's something about her, like she's hiding something, hmmmm." Agent Morris mumbled, as he walked out back scribbling on his notepad.
Chrissy pulled up behind Vanessa's car, and that's when the hysterics hit. Vanessa went into shock, first she started having a shaking fit, then she began sobbing uncontrollably, Chrissy barely got her out of the car and into the house. When they finally entered Vanessa's house Chrissy shed Vanessa of her bloody wedding gown, sat her on the bar stool, and fixed her, her favorite drink, sex on the beach.
"Here boo drink this; it'll make you feel better." Chrissy said as she handed Vanessa the drink. She swallowed it in one breath.
"Damn, let's get you into bed."
"Will you stay with me tonight?" Vanessa asked.
"I'll be here with you always, boo." Chrissy answered as she helped Vanessa up the stairs and into her bed.
"Goodnight, boo" Chrissy whispered.
"But I'm not tired." Kevin responded.
"Jesus Christ Kevin, what the hell are you doing here?" Chrissy asked.
"Ms. Vanessa said I could stay here until her and Brian came back from their honeymoon. Is it over already?" Kevin asked as he followed her into the kitchen.
"No, ummm Brian is dead and now Ms. Vanessa will need some time."
"And so you want me to go back on the street, don't you?" Kevin questioned.
"No, it's not that, its jus-" Knock-Knock
"Ima get that, you stay here this is not over" Chrissy said as she went to answer the door.
"Sorry, to come over so late at night, but I got a few more questions for you Ms. Jackson." Special Agent Morris explained.
"Come on in, Special Agent Morris have a seat on the couch, I'll just be a minute. Kevin, we'll have to finish this conversation later, just go on up to bed." Chrissy said.
"Yea, whatever goodnight." Kevin responded.
"Night, alright Mr. Morris lets get this over with."
"First, who's the kid?"
"Kevin is just a homeless child that Vanessa saved from the streets."
"What's your real name?"
"I don't know what you're talking about Mr. Morris; my name is and will always be Chrissy Jackson."
"Really, because I did a search on Chrissy Jackson and you're sure as hell ain't her. Chrissy Jackson died 3 years ago, but her information was kept alive for some reason. So I'll ask you again, what is your real name?" Special Agent Morris said. Chrissy looked at Agent Morris through thick lashes, eyes shielded she responded.
"Victoria Kippliney, better known as THE VIPER."
"I've heard of you. You were the infamous triple agent; you saved every president from the last 5 terms, smuggled 56 M.I.A. agents from across enemy lines. Twenty-six successful combat missions, four dictators taken out, and thirty-four double agents detected. You've lived quite a life, Ms. Kippliney."
"I'm flattered but, that part of my life is over, now I am simply Chrissy Jackson, not deadly assassin Victoria Kippliney." Chrissy replied.
"I can respect that, but this case, it's not the first, the truth is this is the 22nd case like yours."
"You mean where the groom has died, and was stuffed into the cake, with his eyes cut out?" Chrissy questioned.
"No, I mean mysterious text messages perceiving the events of a death." Agent Morris replied.
"How did you know about that?" Chrissy asked suspiciously eyeing Agent Morris.
"We checked your phone records, but the point is we could use your help with this case we could finally discover whose been behind all of these murders." Agent Morris responded.
"I'll consider it, if that's all you have to ask me, then im going to have to ask you to leave it's late and I'm tired."
"I understand, and I should be going, Goodnight Ms. Jackson" Agent Morris said as he walked out the door.
"Goodnight Agent Morris." Chrissy locked the door, turned down all the lights, checked on Kevin, who was sound asleep, went into Vanessa's room, climbed in the bed, and went straight to sleep.
"How did it go?" Maribel asked Darwin as he got back in the car.
"She thinks I'm a Special Agent, and you were right she isn't Chrissy Jackson. She's the deadly assassin Victoria Kippliney." Darwin replied.
"Of course she's not Chrissy, I knew Chrissy back when we were flight attendants. How did you figure she's a deadly assassin?" Maribel asked.
"When she told me her name, they did a special story on her in the FBI Files, apparently everyone high up in the government were and are still looking for her." Darwin answered starting the car.
"Hmmmm." Maribel mumbled.
"So, what's our next move?"

As a homeowner who wants to make his/her home better, you may have different things in mind. You could change the interior, the layout of the building or its exterior parts. No matter what you choose to modify, you surely do it for the purpose of adding value to your home, to improve its functions or to make it look better. In your attempt to take your home closer to perfection, you may find these 5 home improvement tips very useful:
1. Perform Any Necessary Repairs
Before you make any modifications in your home for the purpose of improvement, you would better take care of the things that are faulty. This means performing any necessary repairs around the home, whether this involves plumbing systems, heating and cooling equipment, cracks, electrical equipment, or anything similar. If you are not sure how to do this, call a plumber or an electrician. Regardless of the chosen method, it is always good to prepare your home for improvement by dealing with all the required maintenance requirements.
2. Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen can be remodeled in classical or modern ways. It depends on personal taste. Painting the walls in a nice color, finding better flooring solutions, changing the furniture to one that is newer or better and adding modern appliances can be just some of the things you can do to remodel the kitchen. This area of the home is the most important for many of us, especially because we spend a lot of time in it. While you make the changes, you should also focus on trying to gain more space.
3. Make Your Home Entrance Stand Out
If you want everyone who passes by your house to become amazed, you have to make your entrance look great. Get a better door if you don't have a beautiful one already. Then, you can improve the appearance of the door and the overall appearance of the entrance by adding some decorative elements around the door. You can add many other items, such as a patio and some bushes. A custom walkway, along with an improved door will make your home stand out.
4. Bathroom Remodeling
Besides the kitchen, the bathroom is another important area of your home and there are some things that you can change in it for the purpose of adding value and beauty. Choose your preferred design and apply it. You can get tiles that better express the overall feeling that you are trying to obtain for your bathroom. Then, add all the items that would suit your needs and preferences. For example, just by using the proper light fixtures, you can drastically change the way your bathroom looks and feels.
5. Adding Comfort and Safety Items
Comfort and safety are two major requirements for any home. In order to have more comfort, you can get better insulation for your home, but also soundproofing elements, newer heating and cooling systems, modern furniture and modern appliances. In terms of making your home safer, there are solutions like fire alarms and sprinkler systems, appliances that have protection against fire hazards, secured doors, anti-theft alarms, secured windows and a shelter space against earthquakes and hazardous weather conditions.

The park's suspension bridge is one of the more popular features in the park.
One of Florida's first state parks, O'Leno State Park was first developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The park is located along the banks of the scenic Santa Fe River, a tributary of the Suwannee River, and features sinkholes, hardwood hammocks, river swamps and sandhills. As the river courses through the park, it disappears underground and reemerges over three miles away in River Rise Preserve State Park.
O'Leno State Park offers visitors the opportunity to unwind in a natural setting. Visitors can enjoy a day of hiking or biking on the park's shaded trails. The Santa Fe River is a beautiful spot to launch a canoe or try your hand at fishing along its banks. Pavilions are located along the river's edge, providing a serene backdrop for picnicking and relaxing. The shady, full-facility campground is the perfect place for a relaxing overnight stay. O'Leno State Park is located on U.S. 441, six miles north of High Springs.

Stingrays Week 18 Recap: Flick Trick
Few players have the capacity to score a hat trick. Few can...
Well, it wasn't 7-0 this time, and we were treated to boring hockey for two periods while the Caps nursed a lead. Then we saw a fluky goal go in, which actually sparked the Caps to try. Then we saw both goalies look awful in the shootout, all resulting in a 2-1 victory for the Rangers.
Worst part: The 7:30 start took a half hour from my day.

|[jira] Commented: (OPENJPA-370) LoadFetchGroup annotation was not recognized during the fetch1
|Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:22:50 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-370?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12538768 ] Kevin Sutter commented on OPENJPA-370: -------------------------------------- > I'm a bit concerned about the sentiment behind this statement. I think that performance regressions are big deals, and based on what I've seen from the performance impact of this patch, I basically think that the patch does not work. Sure, it resolves the issue, but it causes regressions in other areas of the product. As I mentioned, I'm ok letting things slide for 1.0.1, given that I understand that the goal of 1.0.1 is to get a product out. But I do not like it, and personally would prefer to see the behavior either fixed in a performant manner or backed out, especially in what we are claiming is a maintenance branch. And I definitely think that resolving this has to be a top priority. Sorry, but I was reacting to your statements about potentially pulling this fix from the 1.0.1 release. As you have pointed out, we're a little behind the eight ball since we're trying to close down the 1.0.1 release for an upcoming product release. So, pulling the existing fix out of the 1.0.x branch would affect some of our product test efforts and cause some unnecessary churn (IMHO). >From a JPA perspective, the use of LoadFetchGroup is an extension. From our test efforts, it was shown not to work per our understanding of the documentation (and Pinaki's assistance). So, the problems discovered were resolved and put into the maintenance release. These were functional fixes. We knew there might be some performance concerns, but not being experts in this area, we were not aware of how there might be "regressions in other areas of the product".

Still, I always think WWBFT whenever someone complains about their slow phone or can't find something on Google. Most people take technology for granted today.
Export 16 first checks that the configuration data is valid, after that it checks the value "NTVDM TRACE" in the
following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MS-DOS Emulation
If this value is equal to 19790509 the threat will exit. This is thought to be an infection marker or a "do not in- fect" marker. If this is set correctly infection will not occur. The value appears to be a date of May 9, 1979. While on May 9, 1979 a variety of historical events occured, according to Wikipedia "Habib Elghanian was executed by a firing squad in Tehran sending shock waves through the closely knit Iranian Jewish community. He was the first Jew and one of the first civilians to be executed by the new Islamic government. This prompted the mass exodus of the once 100,000 member strong Jewish community of Iran which continues to this day." Symantec cautions readers on drawing any attribution conclusions. Attackers would have the natural desire to implicate another party.
Next, Stuxnet reads a date from the configuration data (offset 0x8c in the configuration data). If the current date is later than the date in the configuration file then infection will also not occur and the threat will exit. The date found in the current configuration file is June 24, 2012.
But really, May 9, 1979 being Rosario Dawson's birthday puts this back on the teenager in his basement path to me.

Published/updated: April 2012
We at Freeform Dynamics have been running surveys and interactive workshops with The Registers readership since 2006 on a wide variety of topics. Looking back, we see the same themes coming up time and time again.
One of these is the perpetual problem of IT staff feeling they are not able to respond quickly enough to change requests from the business.
Many tell us they see an increase in the rate of these requests, so we thought we would look back over relevant studies and pick out some of the common obstacles to effective change management that seem to dog IT departments.
As with all such exercises, you cant help thinking that the results are all pretty obvious, but since the problems dont seem to be going away we thought it was worth listing them.
Disjoints within the business
This might sound like it has nothing to do with IT, but many IT departments are on the receiving end of independent and often conflicting change requests from different parts of the business.
What with political shenanigans between business managers, the lack of a coherent view of overall priorities and limited funding and resources for IT, the handling of change requests can become either a lottery or a question of who shouts the loudest.
Poor communication
Sometimes business stakeholders and IT dont talk to each other enough, and sometimes they talk but fail to communicate.
Take the simple example of a request made for something that is technically impossible. IT proposes an alternative way of dealing with the requirement that can be delivered quickly and economically, albeit with some caveats.
The proposal is approved by busy stakeholders who either dont look at the detail or fail to understand its significance. When the change is delivered, the response is: Thats not what we asked for.
Too little process
If there is no clear definition of how change requests are captured, categorised and prioritised, then things will be missed, dealt with in the wrong order or allocated to the wrong team.
And if there is then no defined way of implementing requests, IT staff end up continually reinventing wheels or making it up as they go along.
All of this translates to increased overhead, cost and risk, as well as to a general lack of responsiveness.
Too much process
At the other extreme, we see IT departments almost paralysed by bureaucracy. Every request, regardless of its magnitude and urgency, is forced through an intensive process of form filling followed by review and approval by every man and his dog.
IT staff are required to document all activities to excruciating levels of detail, and everything is analysed and measured on an hourly or daily basis.
While backs might be covered and evidence generated to support the blame game, the price in terms of efficiency and morale can be high.
Too much demarcation
Specialist knowledge is important in IT, but when developers dont coordinate with operations teams, and server, networking and storage guys dont collaborate effectively with each other, demarcation gets in the way of efficient implementation of change.
The do your bit then chuck it over the wall approach results in activities happening serially rather than in parallel. Then tasks go back and forth to deal with things that were overlooked in the first place or done in ways that cause problems for other teams.
Inadequate tooling
It is notoriously hard to justify investment in management tooling as stakeholders often fail to understand its connection to effective service delivery.
Add a fear of automation, natural inertia or simply an unawareness of alternatives, and the consequence is that many IT teams try to do their jobs using a disjointed mix of tools of varying ages, capability and openness.
Poor automation and the time spent keeping systems in sync, often manually, lead to unnecessarily high costs, slow response times and increased risk.
This list is by no means exhaustive, and we are sure you can come up with other examples of impediments to effective change management from your own experience. Sometimes, however, its worth taking a step back and checking some of the basics.

Commission a work ... Connect with the composer.
The ASO's Sound Investment program gives members a unique opportunity not only to help commission a new work but to see how new compositions come together. Membership in Sound Investment provides a window into the complex workings of creative minds, from inspiration to finished product; an opportunity to form relationships with some of the most interesting composers working today; and a chance to experience the place where art intersects modern life in the creation of a new musical work.
Sound Investment is the most interesting and meaningful music experience we've had in Birmingham. We encourage anyone interested in music and how it comes into being to be a part of Sound Investment.
–Ellen and Fred Elsas
We invite you to learn more about Sound Investment and hope you will join us for the 2016-2017 season, featuring composer Susan Botti.
Why Support New Music?
Music being written now is shaped by the world we live in. Modern-day composers use the same technology,
experience the same world events, and are exposed to the same social issues, political arguments, and cultural
ideas as we are. All of these things are bound up in the creation of new music. While a live performance of a Bach
cantata or Beethoven symphony allows us to experience timeless artistic achievement, contemporary works are
linked to us and our world in a way older masterpieces cannot be.
The ASO has won multiple awards for its frequent performances of contemporary music, and since 2009 members of Sound Investment have helped create new works for premiere by the ASO. With these commissions, we focus not only on the work created but on developing a relationship between the composer and our community. Through multiple visits to Birmingham, composers engage with both children and adults, teaching, inspiring, and making their music accessible.
To have the opportunity to help the ASO commission a new piece of music - and to have our name on the score! - seemed incredible to us. The patrons who commissioned the great classics were usually royalty or fabulously wealthy. But here, at a very reasonable cost, we are able to contribute to the creation of new works, meet the composers, and be present the first time the works are performed. – Jim and Joyce Cauthen
$500 per person/$1,000 per couple

Meet Sound Investment Composer Susan Botti
As composer and performer, Susan Botti's eclectic background and experiences are reflected in her music. She has been commissioned and performed around the globe with ensembles like the New York Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York's Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the BBC Scottish Symphony, among others. Her one-woman chamber opera Telaio: Desdemona will be a highlight of the ASO's 2016-17 Concertmaster & Friends series, and the work has been performed nationally to rapturous acclaim. In addition to performing her own vocal works, Botti specializes in the performance of contemporary music by composers of diverse styles. She has worked with great composers from Tan Dun to Esa-Pekka Salonen and HK Gruber, and at celebrated venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center.
Theater and the visual arts play a formative role in the aesthetic of her work. Her musical explorations have encompassed traditional, improvisational and non-classical composition and singing styles. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Botti's early training included studies in music, art, and theater. She received her Bachelor of Music from the Berklee School of Music; and her Masters in Music Composition from the Manhattan School of Music. She is a member of the Composition faculty at the Manhattan School of Music in NYC, and is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Vassar College.
