Essential Skills for Hackers is about the skills you need to be in the elite hacker family.
The book will mainly about two things: TCP/IP 101, and Protocol Analysis. The better the hacker, the more we will be able to master TCP/IP. Once the reader understands what TCP/IP is, what it looks like, the book will go into Protocol Analysis and how analyzing the protocol or, in a more general sense, looking at packets on the wire, we will be able to determine what exactly is taking place on a network. By doing this, readers can identify when something on the network doesn't match what it should and, more importantly, can create any type of sequence of events or packets that they want on the network and see how the defenses or the machines that we send them to react.

Comments about oreilly Essential Skills for Hackers:
Could not agree more with the first two and the last two sentences in the review by "mvl" - there is no way this was professionally edited at all. The writing is something I would expect out of a B-average high-school sophomore who spent a few afternoons reading Wikipedia articles on TCP/IP.The words "thing" and "stuff" are used frequently when a more useful word can be found used nearby. There are many "This works because this is how it works"-style explanations that would leave a beginner in a worse place than if they had never picked up the book.This is an actual quote from the book, regarding layer 2 of the OSI model (page 18 of PDF):"That identifies the data of the service that receives it and determines its behavior, what it's going to do, and the essential component of all your hacking."Did a human write this, or did a Markov chain?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Info good, writing baaad.
By mvl
from Palo Alto, CA
This book could benefit from being professionally editied. It seems to have been dictated from a lecture or perhaps translated (poorly). The information is good, as it starts from the basics of TCP/IP and works up through the OSI layers. But the writing is so bad I have to re-read and translate what's being said. I would expect more from the publisher.

5E Shattered Heart Adventure Path #1: The Ties that Bind
Winner of the Pathmaster adventure writing contest Michael Allen brings us the first installment of the long awaited Shattered Heart Adventure Path: The Ties that Bind.
A genesis of fellowship for four to five 6th level player characters.
Still reeling from the twin disasters of the Great Schism and the Hoyrall Wars, the halfings of Picollo are a people cast adrift from ancient traditions. A cleric of the Great Mother strives to restore four great holy sites to the goddess, and in doing so restore the bedrock of halfling society.
The PCs leave the snow-swept plains of the Klavek Kingdom for the warm shores of distant Picollo to restore the first of these great temples, being among the very few permitted to access to the closed-off island. Bigotry, bribery, deal-making, and self-interest prove just as challenging to overcome as flesh and blood obstacles. Sea monsters, raiders' and ancient traps at mystical sites all test the PCs' skill before they slip under the waves to confront the corruption at the heart of the water temple of the Great Mother.
Also Included in this Adventure:
- Richly detailed relationships with recurring NPCs.
- Politics, mystery and skill challenges to test the players' (and PCs') versatility.
- A method to track the PC's influence on the future development of Picollan society.
- A new minor artifact and an ancient magical boon.
- Notes on scaling for parties of 6 or more.
- Maps by 5e cartographer Jared Blando.
5E A03: Champion's Rest$6.99
A 5th Edition compatible adventure for four to six PCs of Levels 2-3.
The Loi'Tok burial mound of the Vikmordere was abandoned long ago. The party is hired by the mayor of the local town to locate some soldiers who went missing after entering Loi'Tok. Strangely enough no sign of the soldiers can be found within the burial site aside from a few scattered weapons and pools of blood. Before the party has time to investigate, Vikmordere barbarians show up searching for a group of their own missing kinsmen.
Will the two groups blame each other or join forces to solve the mystery surrounding the recent disappearances?
Also included in "Champion's Rest":
- Maps by 3x ENnie Award winning Cartographer Todd Gamble
- Maps included: Rybalkan Peninsula, Hunter's Cabin in Dark Wood, and Loi'Tok Burial Mound including additional artist sketches of the interior rooms.

5E A00: Crow's Rest Island
A 5th Edition compatible adventure for 4 Level 1 PCs
Shrouded in whispered rumors, Crow's Rest Island has been avoided as long as any can remember. Nothing but death, and the memories of those long gone, greet any who take to land upon the isle's shores. It is to this island that the PCs will find themselves driven as a storm threatens to drive their ship below the waves. Awaiting the PCs are far more than ghost stories upon this island, for there lives a very real threat, hiding here among the legends that keep sailors at bay.
A classic ghost story that casts the PCs not as adversaries to the specters, but rather as their benefactors, Crow's Rest Island challenges the PCs with a tribe of foul kobolds, a haunted village, and the forgotten servant of a long departed ice devil. An excellent introduction to the Aventyr Campaign Setting, this adventure gives the PCs their first glimpse into Vikmordere culture. A0 may also be easily ported to any setting containing a northern wilderness near a large body of water.
- A0: Crow's Rest Island (PDF) – Introduction to the A-Series Adventure Path!

The adventurers travel across Serpent Lake with a group of Rybalkan soldiers. The group camps for the night adjacent to the ruins of Ka'Teek. As they sleep a goblin steals a precious keepsake from one of the PCs and disappears into the ruins. The party pursues and finds themselves confronting undead guardians of the Sun Lord while avoiding dangerous traps.
Will the PCs find the goblin and retrieve their precious keepsake or stumble upon something much more sinister?

5E B20: For Rent, Lease, or Conquest (Fantasy Grounds)
A 5th Edition compatible adventure for four to five PCs of 7th level
There comes a point in every adventuring career when a guildhall becomes a necessity. After all, where is the fighter going to hang his trophies? Where is the wizard going to perform his arcane experiments? Fortunately for the PCs, Edgewaith Manor is free for the taking. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a fixer-upper. There's some really bad mold in the bathroom, the furnace is temperamental to say the least, and the whole place is infested with interplanar ants. Such are the joys of homeownership.
Even worse, a group of treacherous real estate agents want the house for themselves, and they'll stop at nothing to get it. Once the PCs gain access to the manor's magical deed, they will have to work quickly to rearrange the rooms, populate them with traps and troops, and prepare to defend the house. In this adventure, the party has the rare opportunity to build a dungeon for the GM!
Also included in "For Rent, Lease, or Conquest":
- A trio of malfunctioning magical items sure to befuddle any adventurer.
- PC-eating chicken coops.
- A crash course in gnomish architecture.
- The chance to befriend a formian monarch and gain the esteemed title "Defender of the Colony."
- An excellent opportunity to gain a home base suitable for any adventuring party.
- Art by White Wolf alumna Laurel Shelley-Reuss.
- Designed as a sequel to "Death & Taxes," this module also works perfectly as a stand alone adventure.

An Interview with James Broomall
Posted: 10/27/2014
Author: David K. Thomson
Our conversation with James Broomall, an assistant professor of history at the University of North Florida. In this interview, we discuss Broomall's latest work, a journal article entitled "We are a Band of Brothers: Manhood and Community in Confederate Camps and Beyond," published in the September issue of 'Civil War History.' Broomall discusses the power of Confederate camps when it came to constructions of Confederate masculinity. In doing so, Broomall offers a version of masculinity that challenges historical scholarship on the subject.

Trust me, it's paradise.
... our bearings. Despite feeling tired from the hike to Freedom beach the previous day, we decided to tackle the Phi Phi viewpoint. Having read many reviews that said this journey was a hard slog, we weren't looking forward to it. The hike up to the viewpoint was pretty intense but made better by the fact we journeyed up around five; it was cooler and hopefully we'd make it up in time for sunset. Surprisingly, it only took us about twenty minutes to get ...

... head to snorkel we realised this was our one chance to embark on an organised boat trip with snorkelling included and it be worthwhile- it was so clear it could be amazing. The weather had been patchy and overcast so it made sense to find the best spots today while we could- we headed for a travel agent and booked on for the afternoon trip. Five quid each.
It was a great tour and besides the stop off to feed some vicious macaque monkeys, it was a well scheduled trip and ...

... for a very long time. Back on the mainland after saying goodbye to Richard we got ready and went out for dinner with the girls we met on the boat. We went to a really good Mexican restaurant, and the girls told us all about their time working on a Disney cruise ship. We decided to flap another night out as we both felt super rough, so we went back to the room. Turns out you can't physically sleep before 2am at Stones hostel because the music is so loud it vibrates the walls :) :) :) ...

We did ask him to call us by our first names but he kept reverting back. The best we got was 'Mr Lick and Mrs Licky'. We just had to be satisfied with this. So the following two days were spent trekking through the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen with all the terraced rice fields. I had to shut myself off from the verbal onslaught of ...
Krabi by name, but not by nature
... Christmas accommodation, we hadn't sorted travel or anywhere else to stay. So we perused the guide book, looked at maps and where trains, boats and buses run and worked out how we would get from where we are to where we are spending Christmas and New Year. Accommodation was simple, booking that online, either directly with guesthouses or through agents is a doddle. Travel in Thailand however is still more of an ad-hoc, cash in hand ...

Chitta Ranjan Pakrashi looks like another senior citizen of Delhi out for an evening stroll in an art gallery. But this retired government servant-cum-chronicler of Bengalis in the city also has an artistic side which came out at his solo show, which is on at All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society from November 22 till Wednesday.
As he walked amid his works, Pakrashi didn't look like he was 91. He showed the oldest of his paintings — a lithograph of a rural scene which he had created as a student of Government Art School in Kolkata in 1942 - and a bunch of fresh ones done months before the exhibition with the enthusiasm of a 19-year-old rookie artist.
There is an air of honesty yet artistic brilliance in this Kailash Colony resident's works. Bright, bold colours, play with forms, shapes, textures and subtlety and a love for nature are distinguishing feature of this artist, who is also an acknowledged stamp designer having credited with creating numerous stamps for over 60 years both in India and abroad.
Pakrashi recalls that he really started painting post-retirement in 1981 and the push came from artist and friend Bimal Dasgupta. "He was the one who told me to dedicate myself to painting as a fulltime artist."
When asked how he felt about being able to work with such dexterity even post-90, a smile accompanied the reply. "I believe that work is worship and age is never a factor if you have the right intentions. Surprisingly, a British boss of mine, Major P.W.R. Homfrey, used to say this. He was like you are working for your country, not for us."
Another feather on his cap is that Pakrashi is one of the very few in the country who has worked with three different governments -- The American government as a mapmaker in Kolkata (1943-45), British government in Delhi (1945-47) and the Indian government (1947-1981).
"It has changed a lot. When I came in the pre-Independence years, Delhi was developing. Now it has developed and become home for me and many others, who had migrated decades back," he said.

Back in the early days of mass SharePoint adoption (circa 2008), the most popular request from customers was to make their shiny new intranet "not look like SharePoint." It was a reasonable request; after all, the product was created to simplify online collaboration and document management, not to be an internal marketing platform, so the user interface naturally reflected a utilitarian design aesthetic that many found less than appealing. Of course, that didn't stop customers from taking the platform in all sorts of directions it was never meant to go, the result of which was a proliferation of highly-customized implementations that required a great deal of time, money and custom code to deliver.

Wade won't be workhorse
There are 9 comments on the South Florida Sun-Sentinel story from Oct 5, 2008, titled Wade won't be workhorse. In it, South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that:There certainly is something to be said about giving Dwyane Wade the ball and getting the heck out of the way.

#1 Oct 5, 2008
This sounds good ,however I hope that this isn't dewayne shying away from being the go to guy on the floor,Dewayne has got to understand that if you get the attention and the money, you must produce more.
#2 Oct 5, 2008
by the way his name is Dwyane not Dewayne. where the hell did u get that spelling
#3 Oct 5, 2008
try thinking nxt time
#4 Oct 5, 2008
Just get D Wade the ball and get the hell out the way!!!!!
#5 Oct 5, 2008
I love D-Wade. However,this is good. This is how it should be. In the past the plays had become to onesided. It was easy for the other teams to always beat up on him because he had the ball most of the time. This way his injuries will go down.
PS. I still like it when he takes over in the fourth quarter when we are down.
#6 Oct 5, 2008
Even when he talks about other players, he is still really talking about himself.
#7 Oct 5, 2008
Shawn Marion is a whiner and when he doesn't get his own way he will act here like he did in Pheonix.
Walker never complained and as for Wade. HE hogged the ball. He had teammates he just chose to hog the ball. His assists came on dunks and that was because he had Shaq and some high flyers.
The Chicago series in 07 is a perfect example. Wade had teammates and he wouldn't pass and he was happy with that.
I guess the ignorant Ira doesn't remember what Wade said when Walker, Williams and company showed up. His first comments were "I am still the guy getting the shots? and you know he said it.
He is a ball hog. Like AI he gets assists by passing for dunks PERIOD.
#9 Oct 5, 2008
I agree with you to a certain point. However, when Wade is not on the floor or playing we lose the majority of the time. When he was hurt bad(in 2007)and sitting on the bench a lot, "No" one stood up to take the team on their backs. This is why when I hear comments like "Wade is a ballhog", please tell me who else do we have? This year I hope it is much better. Everyone has a chance at the ball. I am very curious to see who is going to make a move.
#10 Oct 5, 2008
it's true wade was a ballhog, and riley let him or encouraged him.
you can't make miracles all the time.
the championship was a miracle.
the olympics showed how effective wade can be on the move without the ball in his hands.
spo seems to be a really bright guy who understands the game a lot better than riley.

text: STRATFORD, Conn., June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. has received a $435 million U.S. Navy contract to build four production-representative CH-53K heavy lift helicopters for the U.S. Marine Corps. Designated as System Demonstration Test Articles (SDTA), the four aircraft will enable the Marines to conduct operational evaluation of the new helicopter system in support of Initial Operational Capability in 2019. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130606/NE27755) "The four SDTA aircraft are based on the configuration of the fourth and final flight test aircraft currently being assembled on the prototype production line," said Dr. Michael Torok, Sikorsky's CH-53K Program Vice President. "We truly appreciate the high level of confidence the Navy and Marine Corps have shown to the CH-53K team as we move forward with this important next phase of the program." The Navy has included the SDTA helicopters as an additional line item under the existing $3.5 billion System Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract initially awarded to Sikorsky in April 2006. The contract schedule requires that Sikorsky deliver the first SDTA aircraft in 39 months, and the fourth by the end of March 2017, when the Marines will begin operational evaluation. The contract's cost-plus-incentive fee arrangement incentivizes Sikorsky to deliver early. Sikorsky will perform final assembly of the SDTA aircraft at the company's Florida Assembly and Flight Operations facility in West Palm Beach. To date, Sikorsky has delivered two of the seven SDD CH-53K aircraft – the Ground Test Vehicle and the Static Test Article – into the test program, and is finalizing assembly of the four flight test aircraft and the Fatigue Test Article. First flight of a CH-53K prototype aircraft is expected in late 2014. Once the SDTA aircraft enter operational evaluation in 2017, the Marine Corps will verify the CH-53K helicopter's capability to carry 27,000 pounds over 110 nautical miles under "high hot" ambient conditions, nearly tripling the external load carrying capacity of the current CH-53E Super Stallion ™ helicopter. Technology enablers for increased lift include three 7,500-shaft-horsepower GE38-1B engines; a split torque transmission design that more efficiently distributes engine power to the main rotors; fourth-generation composite rotor blades for enhanced lift; and a composite airframe structure for reduced weight.

Falls and Older Adults
Frequently Asked Questions
14. How does exercise help prevent falls?
Getting regular exercise is one way to prevent falls and fractures that result from falls. Exercise keeps muscles and bones strong and improves balance. It also helps keep joints, tendons, and ligaments flexible. In turn, your balance and the way you walk may improve, lowering your risk of falling.
(Watch the video to learn more about how exercise can help prevent falls. To enlarge the video, click the brackets in the lower right-hand corner. To reduce the video, press the Escape (Esc) button on your keyboard.)
Your doctor or a physical therapist can help you plan an exercise program that is right for you. A supervised group program can improve your balance and gait. Doing strength and balance exercises at home can also reduce your risk of falls.
See 3 balance exercises that may help prevent a fall -- stand on one foot, balance walk, and heel-to-toe walk.

FDA approves Novartis' biosimilar to treat multiple inflammatory diseases
1 September 2016 • Author: Niamh Louise Marriott, Digital Content Producer
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Sandoz' biosimilar, Erelzi (etanercept-szzs), for all indications included in the reference product label, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), plaque psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Erelzi is the second biosimilar from Sandoz, a division of Novartis, approved in the US through the FDA biosimilars pathway established under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act.
"We continue to increase patient access to key treatment options by expanding our offering of biosimilars which helps to reduce costs within the healthcare system" said Carol Lynch, Global Head Biopharmaceuticals, Sandoz.
The FDA approval is based on analytical, nonclinical, and clinical data confirming that Erelzi is highly similar to the US-licensed reference product. Clinical studies included four comparative pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in 216 healthy volunteers and a confirmatory efficacy and safety similarity study in 531 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis.
Extrapolation to all indications approved for use on the reference product label is on the basis that the Sandoz biosimilar etanercept and the reference product are essentially the same.
"Sandoz is proud to have developed two of the three biosimilars that are currently FDA approved, which further demonstrates our commitment to US patients in a growing number of therapeutic areas. We are committed to bringing Erelzi to the US market as soon as possible".
An application for Sandoz biosimilar etanercept has been accepted by the European Medicines Agency and is currently undergoing review.
Sandoz plans to launch five biosimilars of major oncology and immunology biologics across key geographies by 2020. This will be enabled by 11 filings over a three-year period (2015-2017), with six already submitted.
Moderate to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, keeping joint damage from getting worse, and improving physical function in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. Can be taken with methotrexate or used alone.
Moderately to Severely Active Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in children ages 2 years and older.
Psoriatic Arthritis: indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, keeping joint damage from getting worse, and improving physical function in patients with psoriatic arthritis. Can be used with or without methotrexate.
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS): indicated for reducing signs and symptoms in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis.
Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis: indicated for the treatment of adult patients (18 years or older) with chronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

|Re: How to retreive an application context path from a servlet init()
|Fri, 14 Nov 2003 11:53:54 GMT
Back in the day, the servlet spec was meant to be generic that it could server other protocols (FTP, ...,?) other than HTTP. Fast forward to now, http is really the only thing that makes sense with respect to the servlet spec. (There is something called sip, but thats a different story). Since the ServletContext is part of javax.servlet, it should not know anything about the Context path. Since that is an HTTP artifact. -Tim Heritier Arnaud wrote: > It's unfortunately what I saw. > > I don't understand why in the servlet specs it is not possible to get it in the servlet init ? > The container should know the application context when it deploies the servlet. > > It's weird. > > Arnaud. > > >>-----Message d'origine----- >>De : Tim Funk [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] >>Envoyé : ven. 14 novembre 2003 02:44 >>À : Tomcat Users List >>Objet : Re: How to retreive an application context path from a servlet >>init() >> >> >>AFAIK, it can only be retrieved via the HttpServletRequest >> >>-Tim >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Asserting that it was time for change, Pratibha Advani said people of the country will get to see the "change" after the elections.
"There is no doubt that Narender Modi will become the Prime Minister which will be good for the country. In this election, BJP is going to form government at the Centre," she said.
Pratibha was speaking to reporters after casting her vote at a polling station in Lodhi Estate area in New Delhi constituency.
Advani does not share the best of vibes with Modi and is said to have had reservations about making the Gujarat Chief Minister BJP's Prime Ministerial nominee.
However, Advani on Monday had said the outcome of no other election has been influenced so much by the announcement of a prime ministerial candidate as they have been this time by declaration of Narendra Modi's name.
Pratibha said people of the country were looking at BJP to provide a stable government.
"I want India to get a stable government for which I have voted today. I am confident that BJP will get more than 272 seats," she said.
Accusing UPA of being involved in massive corruption, she said people are yearning for good-governance.
"Today, corruption is the biggest issue. The country has seen massive corruption in the few years. Dada (Advani) had launched several campaigns against corruption and his Jan Chetna Yatra was also against graft and black money," she said.
Asked about Aam Aadmi Party, she said though it performed well in the Delhi Assembly election, the popularity of the fledging party had gone down in the last few months.

How Cities Can Survive Rising Temperatures
IEEE Spectrum reviews the new book by economist Matthew E. Kahn, a Planetizen Interchange contributor.
"In long chapters on Los Angeles, New York, and several cities in China, Kahn appears to have more faith in the free market and the rationality of humans than this reader does. The likely rise in temperature and sea level in Southern California in 2050 should affect our actions now-leading to rational (and inevitably higher) electricity and water prices, and housing prices that reflect them, better city planning, and the like-but to assume that it will ignores the often irrational ways that humans move through the world."

Club the pirate.
With a sudden burst of courage, you grab your mop and swap it across the pirate's face summoning all the strength your tired muscles will allow, which is, aparently, quite a bit. The Pirate crashes to the floor in a dazed stupor. You bash him a couple times more, just to make sure he stays put for a while, and that he wakes up with a splitting headache. Debating weather or not you should wack him even more, you hear a noise from above.
Realizing your situation, you know you have to follow through with your plan (what little you had of one), or you will die.
What will you do?

Music biz insiders say Sony-Jackson deal makes sense
By Gail Mitchell
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - The magnitude of Sony Music Entertainment's landmark recording contract with the estate of Michael Jackson raises an inevitable question: Is it a smart deal for the label?
Given Jackson's superstar status, his influential creative legacy and the market's seemingly insatiable appetite for all things MJ, the consensus of executives who handle works of other deceased music stars is an overwhelming "yes."
Under the contract, which guarantees the estate between $200 million and $250 million, Sony will issue 10 releases of Jackson's music through 2017, with the double-CD "This Is It" soundtrack counting as the first of these. Already in the pipeline is the planned November release of a collection of previously unreleased tracks and a 2011 reissue of Jackson's seminal 1979 Epic album, "Off the Wall."
The Jackson/Sony deal eclipses such recent headline-making unions as Live Nation Entertainment's pacts with Madonna and Jay-Z, pegged at $120 million and $150 million, respectively. And it places Jackson among a select group of artists who posthumously remain major wage earners: Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Jimi Hendrix, whose new album of unreleased material, "Valleys of Neptune," debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
Since Jackson's June 25 death, his catalog has generated sales of 8.7 million albums in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and a reported total of 31 million worldwide. To date, the "This Is It" double CD has sold 1.5 million units domestically, according to SoundScan, and more than 5 million worldwide, according to Sony.
Sony has been in talks with the estate since late last summer, when they came together to discuss the "This Is It" movie and soundtrack, according to Columbia/Epic Label Group chairman Rob Stringer. The new contract renews Jackson's 30-year association with the company, which dates back to 1979.
"My first premise for wanting to do something long-term," Stringer says, "was there was music that was out there post the term of our contract, and I wanted that wrapped up as part of our forward-going structure with the estate. For instance, it would have been a very strange process if we had to deal with the estate and then another record label signed the material post the term after 'Invincible.' It was a much-needed process for both sides to have everything in place. Both the 'This Is It' movie soundtrack and DVD exceeded our expectations. We knew we had something incredibly buoyant in terms of the legacy of a fantastic artist." Continued...

The Stark SparkMature
The next couple of days had been a big blur. I ditched the car in Salt Lake City, hitched a ride to the Nevada border and hopped a bus the rest of the way to Las Vegas. Once there I adopted a blonde pixie cut wig and leather pants.
There was a place on the strip run by a guy named Vance whom I had met while on the circuit. He told me that if I was ever in the city and needed to make a buck he could hook me up with a job. Vance didn't have the cleanest of reputations, so I was pleasantly surprised to see how legit The Candy Shoppe looked. It was a casino with a pretty massive stage that held showgirl acts every hour.
The scene was very different once backstage. The halls were littered with security men, and I was stopped by the largest of them who stood guard outside of Vance's office.
"Do you have an appointment?" he asked gruffly.
"I don't suppose a promise that I'd drop by if I was ever in town would do?"
"Not a chance, little girl. Go back to where you came from." He pointed to the exit.
"Will you please just tell Vance that Nixie Stark is here to see him," I said trying to keep the desperation from creeping into my voice. "I'm only in town for a few days and it would be nice to see what he's up to."
I was saved having to be denied again by the office door opening from the inside. Vance stopped short when he saw me and pushed his violet-tinted shades up to rest on top of his neat coil of dreads. "I'd recognize those pretty little lips anywhere, Miss Stark. What in the hell did you do to your hair? That's not nearly as flattering as the blue."
"Oh, it's still blue underneath, I've just been a little incognito lately. Can I come in?" I asked sweetly.
"I was just on my way out, sugar lips, but I can pencil you in for sometime tonight." He snapped his fingers at a small, blonde man in a gold suit who promptly provided a planner.
"It's a bit urgent actually, I'm in a pretty severe pinch for money and I don't have a lot of time to make it."
Vance eyed me speculatively for a moment and then waved his assistant away. "Clear my evening, Ron, and excuse yourself."
I nodded in appreciation and followed him into the surprisingly cozy room. It was filled with hip, but extremely comfortable furniture and there was a large fireplace crackling happily from behind Vance's seat. He gestured for me to sit across from him and I happily obliged, sinking heavily into the soft fabric. Without asking if I wanted it, Vance poured out two shots of whiskey and pushed one towards me. We clinked our glasses together and while pinching my nose tightly I tossed back the burning liquid and banged the glass down on the desk.
"You would think with your old boss being dead you wouldn't be having any issues," he said, leaning back in his chair.
I glanced up at him startled. "What do you mean he's dead?"
"Oh yeah, all that time he spent messing with people's lives finally caught up with him," said Vance happily. "That crooked old man deserved the bullet that bit him."
A bullet? My old boss was crooked, crafty, and terrorized my world for quite some time, and all it took to bring him down was a bullet? He wasn't my problem anymore, though, and I waved away Vance's words.
"I took off before all of that," I said, looking down at my lap. "My problem was born before I even started working for the circus. I can't tell you much, Vance, it's just better that way but I need a little bit of dough to keep my runaway train moving.
"Nixie, you are one of the most talented young ladies I've ever met," said Vance seriously. "Show business isn't for the weak of heart or spirit, especially the line you seem to favor. Now, I understand better than most the danger of biting off more than you can chew, and I want you to know you always have a place here, temporary or otherwise. The problem is that I need to know exactly what kind of trouble you're in, just in case it follows you into my place."
I simply shook my head. "Trust me, Vance, the less you know about him the better"
Vance clipped the end of a fat cigar that had been sitting in the ash tray on his desk and proceeded to light it. "I'm a little insulted -- I think you're underestimating me."
I couldn't help but smirk. Vance was what you could consider a modern day crime boss. He asked questions with threats and weapons and he got answers with blood, but his dealings, however dangerous, were human. Abe was something else altogether. I could tell that Vance wouldn't back down so I played my part and I played it well.
"The reason I joined the circus was to get away from my psycho ex-boyfriend, but he always seems to find me," I sniffed. "I'm tired of running and I'm scared. I can't keep this up forever, but for right now I'm doing all I can until I find a more permanent solution."
"Is that all, Nixie gal?" Vance asked, chuckling. "You're a smart girl and I think you know there's only one permanent solution to a crazy man problem. The same way old Wiseacre was dealt with by the people he wronged, the same way your young man must be handled."
He pulled out his huge, shiny glock and slapped it down on the desk. It took all my efforts not to roll my eyes in his face. There was no sane way I could explain that in this particular case, a gun was just not going to cut it.
I was sucked into the memory of the night I left Abe. There was blood -- so much blood...and it wasn't even his. Blood caked his shirt, his mouth, his hair and he was laughing at me. Naive little me, holding a pistol in shaking hands, aimed right at his heart. He took a step towards me and I pulled the trigger. The bullet went straight through his heart but instead of dying he just kept laughing.
I shuddered and looked at Vance through the tears I hadn't even noticed falling. "You can't shoot him….I love him." My tongue went numb as the words tumbled out of my mouth. I'd say pretty much anything to protect the people around me from Ave.
Vance pocketed the glock with a sad smile. "Trust me, baby, I know what that one feels like. I'm going to make you a deal, okay, sweet gal? Headline for me the next few nights, in whatever manner suits you, and I'll put you up in my penthouse for as long as you need. There's more protection guarding my place than you would know what to do with. Sound good?"
I sniffed again and nodded. If Abe wasn't around, I'd be living the life I'd always wanted. Headlining every night, being blinded by the limelight and soaking up the glory of the stage. But instead, China got all the fun because she was the one who would be dazzling the crowds in Vegas. How sick that I was jealous of my own alter ego.
"Grossman out there is my chief of security. I'll have him show you to the room and stand guard while you get some rest." Vance handed me a key card and chucked me under the chin. "Then I'll be by later on to go over your ideas for the show."
I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "Thank you so much, Vance. You don't know how much I need this."
"Anything I can do to give you back that old Stark Spark, believe me I will," he said grinning.
The weight in my heart lightened but didn't disappear completely. Vance was confident his men could handle anything but I was even more certain that he was without a doubt underestimating Abe.
I just hoped that Vance would survive to never make the mistake again.
