The documentary film Bergman Island is an intimate portrait of one of the most influential, post-war film directors. Swedish auteur, Ingmar Bergman, known for his revolutionary work in cinema, television and theater created some of cinema's most recognizable and enduring images over a long career, ending with his death in 2007. Known as a reclusive, solitary figure (he lived alone on an island off the coast of Sweden for many years) who rarely spoke about his life or the details of his creative achievements, Bergman Island explores the enigmatic director's relationship with his parents and those he collaborated with on films, raises questions about his turbulent personal life and bares new insights about the muses, themes and inspirations behind his work. Bergman is best known for his films and television programs, The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Through a Glass Darkly, Persona, Fanny and Alexander, and Saraband.

The mission of the Pediatric Clinical Research Office (PCRO) is to enhance, foster and promote organized clinical research within the Penn State Children's Hospital. By stimulating clinical research, the Pediatric Clinical Research Office will help Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center meet its goals of patient care, teaching, service and research. The PCRO is currently and strives to continue to be active in PSU investigator-initiated research through collaborations between faculty and our office and its research staff. The PCRO helps investigators initiate new studies and provides recruitment, consent writing, regulatory, budgetary, and data collection assistance where needed. This help may also include administrative, procedural, and case report documentation. Help is also provided to investigators with industry-sponsored clinical trials. The PCRO promotes investigator initiated research within central Pennsylvania, trains our staff to promote quality research within the Medical Center and the adoption of "Good Clinical Practices".
- Help. The first function of the Pediatric Clinical Research Office will be to help investigators acquire new studies, initiate studies, and provide recruitment and data collection assistance, where needed. This help will be provided in administrative, procedural, and case reports areas. Help can be provided to new investigators, pre-site visits, consent writing, study initiation, enrollment, procedural tasks, and data collection in order to facilitate new investigators commencing on a pathway of clinical research. Providing research coordinators for procedures of a study can provide assistance to established investigators in many of the same ways. This may be especially helpful for those investigators who do not have research capabilities within their home department.
- Marketing. The Pediatric Clinical Research Office will promote investigator initiated research within Central Pennsylvania as well as follow advertisements for study placements of new and/or initiated studies. The office will also endeavor to develop preferred provider agreements with pharmaceutical corporations, biotech companies, and contract review organizations to act as a first line site for clinical trials.
- Training. The Pediatric Clinical Research Office will train their staff to promote quality research within the Hershey Medical Center and the adoption of "Good Clinical Practices" throughout Penn State Hershey Medical Center. The office will also train research staff in regulatory affairs, protocol and consent writing, contract negotiation and budgeting.
- Research. The Pediatric Clinical Research Office will be active in research with protocols using our own research coordinators and investigators. Only through active involvement in continuing clinical research can a group remain credible and attuned to the needs and changes occurring in the fields of clinical research.
What the Pediatric Clinical Research Office is Not
The Pediatric Clinical Research Office is not another roadblock in protocol development and approval. The Pediatric Clinical Research Office will not interfere with functions performed by already functioning areas of clinical research within the clinical departments. The Pediatric Clinical Research Office will not assess separate fees for its support to ongoing clinical research studies, but will endeavor to become self- sufficient through direct costs from studies conducted through our office as well as fees charged under direct costs for administrative functions to other protocols.

The wool pile is then cut in varying heights for a hand-knotted look, and a luster wash is added for softness. The result is a rug that's a unique work of art.

The House is expected to vote Thursday to create a panel to investigate the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Libya.
Reporters asked Boehner three times Thursday about the appropriateness of a fundraising pitch that talks about the investigation. But each time, Boehner said the probe will focus on finding the truth about the attack for the U.S. and the families of the four Americans who died.
The pitch comes from the campaign arm of House Republicans, the National Republican Congressional Committee. It says the House Benghazi panel won't let anyone get away from the investigation.
Democrats say the committee will be too partisan.

UNDATED (www.incnow.tv) – Governor Mike Pence orders flags be flown at half staff in observance of our military on Armistice Day.
Saturday marks the 60th Anniversary of the Armistice that ended the Korean War.The armistice was signed on July 27, 1953, and was designed to end open hostilities in Korea.
But, because there hasn't been a peace treaty, the Korean peninsula remains in a technical state of war.
Governor Mike Pence ordered that all flags in Indiana be flown at half staff to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have defended our nation and freedom.

ANAHEIM, Calif., Nov. 13 — When it comes to celebrating the magic and sparkle of the holidays with friends and loved ones, there's no place like the Disneyland Resort where, now through Jan. 3, 2010, the holidays shine more brightly than ever.
This holiday season, guests will get to see and meet the newest Disney princess, Tiana, the star of a new show in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park. In addition, they will enjoy the return of special holiday versions of "it's a small world" and Haunted Mansion, along with beautiful holiday decor, "A Christmas Fantasy" parade and a nightly snowfall on Main Street, U.S.A.
With so much to celebrate this season, the Disneyland Resort is offering expanded park hours and special savings on vacation packages on selected days. For a preview of the holiday entertainment, along with games, video and special offers, visit www.disneyland.com/holidays.
For the first time during the holidays, guests in Disneyland Park will see "Tiana's Showboat Jubilee!" – inspired by the new Walt Disney Pictures animated film "The Princess and the Frog." The rousing, colorful show has a jazz-filled holiday celebration vibe. It begins with a Mardi Gras-style cavalcade from New Orleans Square to the Mark Twain Riverboat in Frontierland. At the landing, Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen and other "Princess and the Frog" characters move onboard and, as the boat takes to the river, Tiana and company entertain guests on shore with a musical show that includes songs from the motion picture. The show runs through Jan. 3, 2010.
Themed entertainment, sparkling decorations and tasty treats add festive warmth to holiday fun at both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure park.
At Disneyland Park, Sleeping Beauty Castle has been transformed into Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle where, after dark, a sensational holiday lighting and special-effects show carries the magic of the holidays from the castle all the way to the Christmas tree in Town Square. The Disneyland Christmas tree is specially designed to present a nightly holiday light show like no other, with more than 62,000 energy-efficient LED lights.

Good professional schools are not interested in simply turning out skilled technicians, they want to train good leaders. Students who are accepted into professional programs today must:
- have strong academic backgrounds
- have experience in addressing social problems
- understand what it takes to establish good relationships
- be involved in their communities.
These characteristics are best developed at a college like Dordt, which offers a strong core curriculum. Core courses and the comprehensive Christian perspective from which they and all Dordt College courses are taught will give you a solid knowledge base for pre-professional study. Courses in history, English, communication, philosophy, psychology, the arts, and science—all taught in the light of God's Word—will help you see the connections between different parts of life and help give you a better sense of how you can honor God in the profession you choose. Rigorous science courses will prepare you for in-depth scientific study and open your eyes and heart to the needs and concerns of others.

Hütter, Ulrich
Ulrich Hütter, an Austrian engineer, first described in mathematical detail the theoretical basis for the modern wind turbine. In the late 1930s, he worked as a chief engineer at the state-owned Ventimotor wind turbine firm in Weimar, outside of Berlin, Germany. His doctoral studies at Vienna University (1942) laid the theoretical foundation for the construction of modern turbines with two and three rotor blades. In addition to his engineering skills, Hütter also possessed strong aesthetic sense, arguing that turbines should "be of a timeless beauty, so that they do not in three or four decades hence burden a later generation with the heavy task of removing angular skeletons, by our indifference to the imponderable value of our environment." This foreshadowed the important role of public reaction to siting that came about later in the century.

Flung onto the foggy fringe of the Atlantic pond like a mossy millstone, Ireland drips with mystery, drawing you in for a closer look and then surprising you. An old farmer cuts turf from the bog, while his son staffs the tech helpline for an international software firm. Buy them both a pint in a pub that's whirling with playful conversation and exhilarating traditional music. Pious, earthy, witty, brooding, proud, yet unpretentious, Irish culture is an intoxicating potion to sip or slurp — as the mood strikes you.
At a Glance
Republic of Ireland
▲▲▲ Dublin Bustling Irish capital, with fascinating tours (historical, musical, and literary), passionate rebel history (Kilmainham Gaol), treasured Dark Age gospels (Book of Kells), intricate Celtic artifacts (National Museum: Archaeology and History), and a rambunctious pub district (Temple Bar).
▲▲▲ Dingle Peninsula My favorite fishing village (a traditional Irish-music pub paradise), which serves as a launchpad for the gorgeous Slea Head loop drive (or bike ride), featuring a wealth of Celtic and early Christian sites.
▲▲▲ Aran Islands Three windswept, treeless limestone islands in the Atlantic, laced with a maze of angular rock walls, crowned by Iron Age ring forts, and inhabited by sparse villages of hardy fisher-folk.
▲▲ Near Dublin Great day-trip options: North to the Boyne Valley's ancient pre-Celtic burial mounds of Brú na Bóinne and majestic Norman castle of Trim, west to the green horse-racing pastures of the Irish National Stud, and south to the graceful Gardens of Powerscourt and evocative monastic ruins of Glendalough.
▲▲ Kilkenny and the Rock of Cashel Best two destinations in Ireland's interior: the town of Kilkenny, with its narrow medieval lanes, cathedrals, and castle; and the Rock of Cashel, with its dramatic hilltop hodgepodge of church ruins overlooking the Plain of Tipperary.
▲▲ Kinsale and Cobh County Cork's two quaint harbor towns: Gourmet capital Kinsale, guarded by squat Charles Fort, and emigration hub Cobh — the Titanic's last stop.
▲▲ Kenmare and the Ring of Kerry Colorful, tidy town and ideal base for side-stepping the throngs flocking to drive Ireland's most-famous scenic loop route.
▲▲ County Clare and the Burren Ireland's rugged western fringe, with the take-your-breath-away Cliffs of Moher, stone landscape of the Burren, cozy trad music crossroads of Doolin, and handy Shannon Airport access from friendly Ennis.
▲▲ Connemara and County Mayo Lushly green and hilly Irish outback of cottages, lakes, and holy peaks, dotted with photogenic settlements such as Cong, Kylemore Abbey, and leafy riverside Westport.
▲ Waterford and County Wexford Gritty historic port town with famous Waterford Crystal Visitor Centre, and the hinterland of early Norman invasions, with a huge lighthouse and the JFK ancestral farm.
▲ Galway Energetic university city with thriving pedestrian street scene, great people-watching pubs, and the west coast's best base from which to reach the Burren, Aran Islands, and Connemara.
Northern Ireland
▲▲ Portrush and the Antrim Coast Unpretentious beach resort of arcades and amusement park rides, a stone's throw from the geologic wonderland of the Giant's Causeway, dramatic cliff-edge ruins of Dunluce Castle, and exhilarating Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge.
▲▲ Belfast No-nonsense industrial revolution metropolis, with stirring sectarian political murals, grandly domed City Hall, sprawling Ulster Folk Park and Transport Museum, and the charming nearby Victorian seaside retreat of Bangor.
▲ Derry and County Donegal Seventeenth-century English settlement ringed by stout town walls — infamous as the powder keg that ignited Ireland's tragic modern "Troubles" — with an insightful city history museum and access to the rugged beauty of Donegal.

Your kids are finally out of their diapers, and you've decided this is the perfect summer to have a great family vacation in the sunny city of Orlando. A metropolitan area that's home to more than 2 million people, the Floridian delight is also the hometown of family must-sees like Walt Disney World, Discovery Cove, and the Harmony Golf Preserve. With all these attractions within driving distance of one another, your best plan would be to rent a car in Orlando upon landing and explore for yourself all the fun this city has to offer.
Drive your rental car to a magical place
When visiting Orlando with the family, you'll want to drive your Orlando car rental over to Walt Disney World. Disney World is both the largest and most visited theme park resort in the entire world, expanding across 25,000 acres. The massive resort is home to Disney's Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Magic Kingdom, as well as two water parks to help you keep any raucous over-excited children cool: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.
Explore underwater worlds
After exploring all that Disney World has to offer, drive your Orlando car rental to the beautiful Discovery Cove, a park that lets you and your family get up close and personal with nature. White sand stretches throughout the park that offers activities such as snorkeling with tropical fish. You and your little ones could also relax on a lazy river that travels alongside the tropical landscape and ends at a waterfall. The aviary features tropical birds, and visitors can swim with dolphins and stingrays. Tickets also include open-tickets to SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens, so put your rental car to use and explore other worlds just around the corner.
Spend a day on the links
When vacationing with your family, it is often difficult to find time to do anything that is specifically for the adults. Leave the kids with your husband or other traveling adult, and take some time for yourself on the green at Harmony Golf Preserve. Drive your rental car in Orlando over to the links, conveniently located between the major attractions and the beaches of Melbourne. This golf course is unique for being Florida's only Johnny Miller signature course and also for being designated as a "preserve" incorporating the scenic wetlands and wildlife into your relaxing day of golf.
Explore Orlando, "The City Beautiful"
Orlando is home to one of the country's top tourist destinations, more than 2.1 million residents and some of the biggest businesses in the United States. As a major industrial and high-tech center, Orlando creates a welcoming space for companies, such as Lockheed-Martin, Siemans, Mitsubishi Power Systems and Hewlett-Packard, but it's the family-friendly amenities, seemingly infinite amount of sunshine, world-class dining and shopping that leaves many visitors wishing that they, too, could put down roots in the heart of Florida.
Whether you're visiting the city on business or for leisure, preparing for a move or just exploring a new city, there are some places you won't want to miss. One obvious choice is Walt Disney World – but there are many other destinations families, couples and solo travelers can enjoy that have nothing to do with the world's most famous mouse. Just a few of the many exciting places you can see in Orlando with your Dollar Rent A Car include:
The Latest Deals
Explore the city for less. Browse the latest offers, special deals and promotions – and save big on one of our Orlando rental cars. With family-friendly minivans, roomy SUVs, sporty convertibles, spacious sedans and luxury vehicles, Dollar makes it more affordable than ever to explore the city your way.

Huntley Sport
this wiki
The Vapid Huntley Sport is a sports SUV in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is an adaption of the Huntley from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Design Like the Huntley, the Huntley Sport is based on the Range Rover, however this time being the 2006 Range Rover Sport, although slightly boxier. It features black B and C pillars, but body coloured A and D Pillars. The Huntley Sport also features side steps spanning the entire wheelbase. It boasts tinted glass and large alloy rims with low-profile tires. The exhaust tips, oddly, are almost identical to those featured on the Bentley Continental GT.
Inside, fit and finish is well, but you are surrounded by black and some materials look plain. Controls are up high and easy to reach with well placed knobs and switches. As stated before, the driver will like the roomy and supportive front seats, and the nice steering feel. The passengers get to enjoy a soft and steady ride that is well composed. The rear bench area is very cramped though, with minimal head room that you would not expect from a large SUV. But there is good legroom.
The Huntley Sport is powered by a 4.8L supercharged V8 coupled to a 5 speed gearbox with all-wheel drive. With a top speed of 180 mph (288 km/h) the Huntley Sport is the second fastest SUV in The Ballad of Gay Tony (fastest SUV being the Serrano). Acceleration on the Huntley Sport is astouding, especially when launching the car from a standstill. The Huntley Sport does tend to suffer from understeer if driven too quickly, a trait that comes with 4WD systems. Braking is average, and ABS is standard on the Huntley Sport. Off-road, the Huntley Sport performs better than its low ground clearance and low profile tires suggest. The four-wheel-drive system and supercharged V8 make light work of steep sand hills, however the Huntley Sport tends to spin out or flip over solid, low to the ground obstacles such as rocks and debris (random panels of wood, traffic cones etc.).
Yardies'The Yardies can be seen driving in a gold, black and green (3 colors of Jamaica) Huntley Sport with a custom shaved grille and and side-mounted exhaust pipes. Like other gang-specific variants, all these modified vehicles are still called "Huntley Sport" when entered.
After doing all 10 Drug Deliveries for Little Jacob, Niko is given one of these.
Unique colors
- A black Huntley Sport, painted with a thin red stripe down the sides, can rarely be found driving around Liberty City. It is one of a range of paint jobs available on default Huntley Sports. This Huntley Sport color is also seen in the car chase at Out of Commission; however, this one cannot be obtained as after the cutscene where everyone gets out of the Cognoscenti, the Huntley Sport will disappear.
- After doing a boating trip with Brucie Kibbutz, an iridescent gold, bronze and beige Huntley Sport will be parked at the docks where you get out of the boat.
- A custom two-tone navy and sky blue Huntley Sport is one of vehicles needed for Stevie. After receiving the message it will be parked outside a police station at Bohan and will spawn there as long as player doesn't deliver it to Stevie's garage.
- A white-on-white Huntley Sport with a black line below the side windows can be obtained during Drug Wars in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
- Commonly spawn (but only at night) in Beechwood City, BOABO, East Hook (Broker), Chase Point, Fortside, Bohan Industrial (Bohan), Middle Park, North Holland, Northwood and Purgatory (Algonquin)
- Often spawn in Rotterdam Hill (only at day), Schottler (at night) (Broker), Willis (Dukes), Castle Gardens, Castle Garden City, City Hall, The Triangle, Star Junction, Middle Park (only at day), The Exchange, (Algonquin), Westdyke and Alderney City (Alderney),
- Sometimes spawn in Beachgate (Broker), Francis International Airport (Dukes), Hatton Gardens, Lancet and Middle Park East, and Middle Park West (Algonquin).
- Occasionally spawn in South Slopes (Broker), The Meat Quarter (only during the weekend), Suffolk, Varsity Heights, Lancaster and Westminster (Algonquin).
- The "Jamaican" variant can be found around Beechwood City, Schottler and Willis.
- Frequently spawns at the Francis International Airport carpark.
- Some may Spawn in Acter Industrial Park right next to the Alderney State Correctional Facility
- Provided as a getaway car after escaping in Easton in "Three Leaf Clover".
- A Jamaican Huntley Sport is given as a gift in the last of Little Jacob's Drug Delivery missions at Homebrew Cafe in Beechwood City, with an altered grille and appearance
- A "Jamaican" Huntley Sport can also be obtained through Dukes and Broker-based Gang Wars, which often pit the player against members of the Jamaican Posse, who, as mentioned above, drive this vehicle.
- Often spawns in traffic on the Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer, particularly in Star Junction.
- Appears as vehicles driven by targets in Drug Wars. These Huntley Sports often boast unique or Jamacian paint jobs.
- In an online Weazel News article in GTA IV, Kerry McIntosh is implied to drive a red Huntley Sport, which she crashed into a Wigwam Burger restaurant while highly intoxicated.
- The Huntley Sport is considered a "luxury car" in The Ballad of Gay Tony's multiplayer race/GTA race modes.
- The default radio station tuned in the vehicle is The Vibe 98.8.
- Despite the design being the GTA equivalent of Land Rover, the car is manufactured by Vapid, the GTA equivalent of Ford. This is plausible, because at the time the Ford Motor Group owned a large number of manufacturers (including Land Rover and Jaguar) around the time that the game is set. This means that even though, manufactured by a somewhat- economical car maker, the Huntley Sporty is a still luxury SUV.
- The Huntley Sport is one of the few vehicles in GTA IV that can be "boost launched". To boost launch the vehicle, simply hold down the handbrake button and rev the engine as high as possible, and then let go. This tactic eliminates wheel spin and makes the Huntley very fast off the line, on par with some sports cars.
- The door handle looked different than its real-life design basis.
- All three online girlfriends, Alex Chilton, Kiki Jenkins, and Carmen Ortiz, like this car when you take them out for a date.
- Huntley Sport drivers tend to drive quicker than drivers of most other cars.

Topic Overview
What is rosacea?
Rosacea (say "roh-ZAY-shuh") is a very common skin disease that affects people over the age of 30. It causes redness on your nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. Some people get little bumps and pimples on the red parts of their faces. Rosacea can also cause burning and soreness in your eyes.
Some people say that having rosacea keeps them from feeling confident at work or in social situations. If your rosacea bothers you or has gotten worse, talk to your doctor. Getting treatment can help your skin look and feel better. And it may keep your rosacea from getting worse.
What causes rosacea?
Experts are not sure what causes rosacea. They know that something irritates the skin, but rosacea doesn't seem to be an infection caused by bacteria. It tends to affect people who have fair skin or blush easily, and it seems to run in families.
The pattern of redness on a person's face makes it easy for a doctor to diagnose rosacea. And most of the time medical tests are not needed or used.
Rosacea is not caused by alcohol abuse, as people thought in the past. But in people who have rosacea, drinking alcohol may cause symptoms to get worse (flare).
Rosacea often flares when something causes the blood vessels in the face to expand, which causes redness. Things that cause a flare-up are called triggers. Common triggers are exercise, sun and wind exposure, hot weather, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot baths. Swings in temperature from hot to cold or cold to hot can also cause a flare-up of rosacea.
What are the symptoms?
People with rosacea may have:
- A flushed, red face with sensitive, dry skin that may burn or sting.
- Small bumps and pimples or acne-like breakouts.
- Skin that gets coarser and thicker, with a bumpy texture.
- Dry, red, irritated eyes.
In rare cases, rosacea that is not treated may cause permanent effects, such as thickening of the skin on your face or loss of vision. It may cause knobby bumps on the nose, called rhinophyma (say "ry-no-FY-muh"). Over time, it can give the nose a swollen, waxy look. But most cases of rosacea don't progress this far.
How is it treated?
Doctors can prescribe medicines and other treatments for rosacea. There is no cure, but with treatment, most people can control their symptoms and keep the disease from getting worse.
Redness and breakouts can be treated with:
- Pills, such as low-dose antibiotics like doxycycline.
- Skin creams that contain medicine, such as azelaic acid or metronidazole.
- Redness from tiny blood vessels can be treated with lasers and another light treatment called intense pulsed light (IPL).
- Dry, sensitive skin can be protected with products for sensitive skin, such as moisturizers and sunscreen.
- Dry, red, and irritated eyes can be treated with artificial tears or prescription eyedrops that contain a medicine such as cyclosporine.
- Thickened or bumpy skin on the nose or face can be treated with cosmetic surgery.
How can you prevent rosacea flare-ups?
There are some things you can do to reduce symptoms and keep rosacea from getting worse.
- Get any bothersome symptoms under control. A dermatologist can prescribe treatments to reduce redness and any breakouts.
- Find your triggers. One of the most important things is to learn what triggers your flare-ups, and then avoid them. It can help to keep a diary of what you were eating, drinking, and doing on days that the rosacea appeared. Take the diary to your next doctor visit, and discuss what you can do to help control the disease.
- Protect your face. Stay out of the sun between 10 am and 4 pm. When you are outdoors, protect your face by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or visor. Use a sunscreen that is rated SPF 30 or higher every day. If your skin is dry, find a moisturizer with sunscreen.
- Be gentle with your skin. Use skin care products for sensitive skin, and avoid any products that scratch or irritate your skin. Try not to rub or scrub your skin.
- Take care of your eyes. Gently wash your eyelids with a product made for the eyes. Apply a warm, wet cloth several times a day. Use artificial tears if your eyes feel dry. Or talk to your doctor about medicine you can put into your eyes.

Good start! Some of the rivers could be refined (the transition from thinner to broader parts seems a little bit abrupt in some places), some parts of them are covered by forest.
I've decided to make a map of Tolkien's Middle Earth. A little ambitous, I know . I wanted to try out the colourfull style of my last map some more, and since I love Tolkien's woks, decided to give it a try.
It's going to be quite huge, since the massive amount of names which have to fit on it . I'm using an original version of Tolkien as base.
So far, I've only got the land & sea colours, the rivers and the forest (there actually not a lot of them, I'd never noticed before...)
Next are the mountains.

Looks good. I like the watercolor effect of the land and the tree color variation is very nice. Are you using your own brushes?
I refined the rivers (it's things like this that make my wish I had a tablet ) and redid the forests. The trees are a bit bigger, and they don't cover the rivers anymore.
Some of the other 'gaps' in the forests are meant for roads & mountains.
@Hohum; I used Ramah's tree brushes as a base, the colouring & shading is my own. (I did use his TreeThing application to create the forests, It's a bit difficult to get the open spaces for the rivers in the right place, but it beats putting the trees in one by one ).

Hi Saule,
I know what you mean by "huge". My original map (started in Illustrator) was 200 in x 200 in. I finished it in InDesign with thoughts of publishing it as an "interactive" map with bookmarks. The final result was dictated by computer hardware & software limitations for my targeted output. The map in now an iPad app (see the images in my gallery — if interested). I am currently working on the Second Age where the "Fall of Beleriand" and the rise of Númenor are shown. The map is available on the iTunes App Store...
Last edited by richardblum; 12-18-2010 at 07:52 AM. Reason: The image URL wasn't working
Thanks for all the comments . It's been a while since I've worked on this. I'd started on the mountains, and found out there are actually quite a lot of them. Because my method of creating mountain basically consists of copy-pasting all the individual mountain pictures in place, I realised it was going to be a lot of work. I actually tried using Ramah's tree-thing for the mountains, but they came out too small. I didn't really feel like working on it for a while because the task seemed endless, but I've started again. 2 mountain ranges are now in place. I'm hoping to be able to start copy-pasting groups of mountains more and more as I get on, hopefully not having to put in every single thing by hand . (The lowest mountain range was how it would've come out if I'd used the tree thing for the mountains...)
For some reason the forum is not letting me upload the file, so here's a picture with a link to my DA gallery. The 'Download' butten at the right will give you the original size... (Does anyone know why I'd get a 'not a valid image file' error for a .jpg? )
Looks good so far Saule, and it's good to see you back at the Guild again! Hm, I'm not sure about the error message, I would guess it had something to do with the size of the image, but then that wouldn't explain the "not a valid file" message. Shrug.

At 3:05 p.m. on Jan. 31, 2012, alarms announced a small release of radiation into the atmosphere at San Onofre's Unit 3 reactor.
The leak was traced to a small but expanding rupture in a single steam generator tube — one tube among tens of thousands.
Further inspections uncovered something more troubling: rapid degradation of the generator tubing at both the plant's reactors. The wear from tubes rubbing against support structures and each other threatened to undermine a crucial barrier to radiation.
Edison and federal regulators have traced the most concerning damage to faulty computer modeling in the design phase that misstated steam velocities within the generators — allowing some tubes to rub against each other in an unprecedented fashion.
Consumer advocates are urging safety regulators to rewind the clock to 2004, to consider why design failings were never flagged by Southern California Edison or nuclear safety regulators.
That's the year the Rosemead-based utility signed its contract with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to manufacture four replacement steam generators. The contract specified that a host of design changes must not require prior approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Friends of the Earth, an international environmental and nuclear safety group, contends that changes to the generators warranted a quasi-judicial license amendment review, but that Edison decided against one in violation of regulations.
Public hearings and cross-examined evidence, the group contends, could have caught design flaws that now plague the generators.
Any restart plan, Friends says, should be subject to that review to assure mistakes are not repeated or compounded. That campaign has been endorsed by a growing list of local government entities — most recently the San Diego Unified School District.
Edison says it followed the rules in its evaluation of design changes, but has so far declined to share its evaluation with anyone but on-site government inspectors.
"The adverse condition that later resulted in a tube leak was a deficiency associated with the design and was not known at the time the evaluation was performed," Edison wrote in a filing with the nuclear commission this month.
To evaluate the plan's safety, nuclear safety regulators have assembled a special team of at least 20 technicians, based at a regional field office in Texas. Regulators have held discussions with Edison officials in a series of public forums.
Morgan Lee • U-t
As the nuclear outage drags on, utility owners of San Onofre (San Diego Gas & Electric has a 20 percent interest) are girding for a years-long confrontation over who will pay for costs associated with the sidelined plant.
Edison and SDG&E investors are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to devise and carry out repairs and pay for replacement power, expenses they will seek to pass on to ratepayers.
Utility customers continue paying at least $830 million a year to maintain and operate the idled plant, with some savings on nuclear fuel.
Claims already are pending against Mitsubishi, which manufactured the generators, and with the U.S. nuclear industry's mutual insurance company in Delaware, the Nuclear Electric Insurance Ltd.
An investigation has been launched by state utility regulators that could ultimately lead to utility-bill rebates. Consideration also may be given to suspending rate collection for the plant — a rare occurrence across the industry.
Edison is urging the California Public Utilities Commission to delay any ratepayer refund until its next general rate case in 2015.
As an example of a methodical, deliberative decision, Edison has hearkened back to San Onofre's original Unit 1 reactor, which was retired in 1992.
A steam generator leak discovered in 1980 was repaired at the expense of utility customers.
A 75 percent rebate was approved, but not until six years later after hearings, investigations and then litigation between Edison and generator manufacturer Westinghouse, by Edison's account.

While a 2x10 drivetrain is a natural companion to trail and all-mountain bikes, thrown chains blow. We were searching for a light, effective retention system that didn't rely on a bash guard (which are incompatible with some 2x10 cranks) when MRP launched the 2x. It's light (134 grams), it's quiet, it protects your chain rings and it works great with 10-speed drivetrains. While we had our suspicions of the dual-pulley design, it has proved rock solid.

Dwayne Forge
this wiki
- "Sometimes I just wanna end this shit. Just... bam. But I ain't there yet. Not quite."
- ― Dwayne Forge
Dwayne Forge is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character and an optional friend in Grand Theft Auto IV. Dwayne is a former drug kingpin who ruled over North Holland.
Dwayne was born in 1973 in North Holland, Liberty City. He grew up in the Westminster Towers, a notoriously violent and drug infested housing project in North Holland. His father was an illiterate, violent pimp and drug dealer who regularly beat both his wife and Dwayne himself. He would tell Dwayne in a harsh voice: "Expect the worst, then you can be pleasantly surprised!" before beating him, accounting for his melancholy outlook on life. His mother was his main caretaker, who he thought highly of saying she "tried so hard" to please his father, who often beat her. In one instance, she bought him golf clubs because a friend of his had some and it seemed sophisticated, but he used the clubs to beat her still. His father died when he tried to rip off other drug dealers in the neighborhood - the dealers knocked on his door and killed him right there. Dwayne says that he "felt nothing" when his father had been murdered, even saying he was glad. Dwayne later developed aspirations to be a police officer as a child, but says he could not read well enough and that the LCPD frowned upon black police officers in the 1980s. At one point he was homeless, unable to get a job without full education. From there, Dwayne reflected on his only marketable skills, stating "I could add up and I could scare people, so I started selling dope."
Drug empire and prison sentence
Between 1988 and 1999, Dwayne ran a crack cocaine empire. Dwayne claimed that he made $50,000 per week and "had apartments full of money - entire apartments stuffed with bank notes!". Because of his connections, Dwayne had more pure product than anybody in Algonquin at that time. He was living the dream as a teenager, riding high as a drug lord. However, with his new success also came problems. A lot of people were jealous of Dwayne because of his fast money and street fame. This caused Dwayne to constantly seem very distant and to only remain close to a few people. Two of those people closest to him were his girlfriend Cherise Glover, who he describes as "the love of my fucking life", and Playboy X, his prodigy. Dwayne stated that he wanted to start a nice family and have children, but believed his drug dealing and prison stint had prevented it. Dwayne also invested in the adult entertainment business and bought The Triangle Club in Bohan, and a couple of porno shops in Liberty City and Alderney City.
In the late 90s following a tip from an informant, Jayvon Simson - who would also steal his girlfriend in the next few years - Dwayne was arrested and sent to prison. Dwayne ran the gang from prison at first, also providing his girlfriend Cherise "cars, houses, apartments, bank accounts, everything!" while inside. Dwayne was placed on suicide watch for much of his prison sentence, continuing to express some suicidal thoughts when released.
Playboy X assumed leadership of the empire around the turn of the century, as many gangs matured from solely crack sales to wider drug sales, other organized crime and even legitimate venues such as the music and real estate industries. Playboy paid his last prison visit to Dwayne in 2004, no longer having any interest in running with him. During this time, his Triangle Club was taken over by the Trunchez brothers.
Events of GTA IV
Release from prison
In 2008, Dwayne is released from prison and immediately goes to see Playboy at his penthouse. He talks to Playboy X and Niko Bellic in the mission Deconstruction for Beginners, where Playboy patronizes him. Playboy X eventually pays Niko Bellic to appease Dwayne by working for him, but Niko genuinely connects with Dwayne, as they both went through a lot and have developed a distaste for others.
Rebuilding Life
Niko helps him slowly put his life back together, by settling old grudges and reclaiming the Triangle Club.
At first, he asks Niko to kill Jayvon, the man who stole Dwayne's money and girlfriend. Niko finds him and Cherise, and chooses whether or not to kill Cherise before chasing and murdering Jayvon. Niko meets up with Dwayne at Cluckin' Bell, and gives him the money back.
Later, Dwayne tells Niko about his former gentleman's club, The Triangle Club. Niko goes to the strip club and kills the Trunchez Brothers for Dwayne, allowing him to retake control. This angers Playboy X as the Trunchez brothers were business associates of his.
However, Dwayne also begins to talk trash about Playboy, and Dwayne's re-acquisition of the Triangle Club conflicts further with Playboy's business interests. Dwayne knew the effect that this would have on Playboy, doing it anyway out of passive-aggressive angst for turning his back on him. According to Playboy, he offered Dwayne half of his old gang back and he did not accept, likely insulted as he started the gang and taught Playboy the business when he was a mere child.
The Holland Play
Niko is subsequently hired by both men to assassinate one another, in the mission The Holland Play. Niko must choose whether to kill Dwayne or Playboy X.
If Niko chooses to kill Dwayne, Niko will respectfully tell Dwayne that it's "nothing personal". Forge accepts his fate in sorrow, turning his back to Niko and calling him "fake, just like the rest of them!". Niko then shoots Dwayne in the back of the head while turned away, killing him with visible regret. Playboy pays Niko, but, in apparent denial, calls him "cold" for assassinating his old mentor, and the two never speak again.
If Niko chooses to kill Playboy, Niko will arrive at Playboy X's Penthouse to kill him. When Niko is telling Playboy that he didn't change the game, he executes Playboy by shooting him in the neck, saying that the game changed him. Dwayne takes over the empire once again and gives Playboy's Penthouse to Niko, revealing he had the deed to it all along and, when told that he should take it by Niko, mentions that living in it would remind him too much of Playboy, who he states he "should have kept a closer eye on". He will also become a friend, and, if his friendship's "like" percentage is raised high enough, he will send two gangsters as bodyguards whenever Niko needs backup.
During their friendship activities, Dwayne tells Niko about his life and at first presents very negative outlooks in conversation. However, after enough activities with Niko, Dwayne begins to act more positively and after Niko himself tells him to stop complaining and try to enjoy life, Dwayne finally begins to share some positive outlooks and hopes with Niko. Forge has a bitter hatred for Jimmy Kand who lives a few doors from his apartment.
Dwayne is the fifth and final friend you will make within Grand Theft Auto IV, excluding the 3 girlfriends that can be made friends with before or after. If he is spared in The Holland Play, Dwayne will send Niko an email. If the player responds positively, he will become a friend.
He is available between 3:00PM and 1:00AM.
The possible activities with Dwayne are: Drinking, Eating, Bowling, Seeing a show (Perestroika or Split Sides) or going to a Strip Club. He likes classy places like the Superstar Café, however still loves Cluckin' Bell. His nightspot preference is Club Liberty in Northwood, Algonquin. Dwayne likes The Classics as well as Beat 102.7 for radio stations while driving around.
Dwayne does not like it when you drive too fast. He highly dislikes helicopters, so it is advised not to pick him up with one. However he likes the NRG 900 very much, so if you have one and you are skilled with it, pick him up in one.
Doing these activities with Dwayne does not count towards 100% completion.
Getting Dwayne's 'like' percentage over or equal to 90% counts towards the "Liberty City (5) achievement / trophy if you were to keep him alive during the mission The Holland Play. If you were to kill him during the mission the achievement / trophy would be easier to accomplish, but you suffer the fact of losing an extra safehouse/car save spot.
Friendship Benefit of Dwayne
When his 'like' percentage is high enough, he will send two goons to back Niko up when requested. One of them carrier with Pistol and the other with Micro-SMG. They will stay close to Niko and start their fire to every threats. Unlike cops, they will not spare their enemies even they already incapacitated on ground.
They will stay with Niko for around 10–15 minutes until he says that he wants to be alone again. If you do not drop them off in about a minute they will bail out of the vehicle. If Niko leave them behind too far away, they will simply disappeared.
LCPD Database record
Mission appearances
- Deconstruction for Beginners
- Ruff Rider (Boss)
- Undress to Kill (Boss)
- The Holland Play (Can be killed)
- His favorite radio stations appears to be The Beat 102.7 and The Classics 104.1.
- If the player looks up Dwayne Forge's file and profile on the police database and police car computer before Deconstruction for Beginners, his file is listed as "In Custody".
- If the player chooses to kill Dwayne Forge, his file and profile on the online police database or on the police car computers changes him as deceased. If the player kills Playboy, it does not change him to deceased.
- After some time in the game, some time after you beat the mission That Special Someone, Dwayne changes his voicemail.
- Dwayne has three different voice-mails throughout the game; the most for any character. The first one is after when Playboy gives him his number, the second one is after your first mission and to That Special Someone, and then lastly after That Special Someone.
- In some cases, after killing Playboy, Dwayne will give Niko his safehouse, and Niko will keep him as a contact, but Dwayne will not give you any options as a friend (such as playing pool, bowling, drinking, eating, etc.). You can only call him, which will give you his voicemail, and he will never call you.
- His and Playboy's relationship is similar to Mikhail Faustin and Dimitri Rascalov's. Both have known each other for a long time, and one of them will eventually betray the other (Playboy betrays Dwayne in The Holland Play and Dimitri betrays Mikhail in The Master and the Molotov).
- In the L.C. Cage Fighters ring, a voice almost identical to Dwayne's can be heard cheering on when the player chooses to spectate. However, due to Dwayne living in near poverty, it may not be him despite the ring being only a couple of blocks away from his apartment.
- In Grand Theft Auto V there is a guard that appears in the mission, Three's Company, that looks strikingly similar to Dwayne.
- Also in GTA V, the Ballas drug dealer in the Hood Safari mission also strikingly resembles to Dwayne.

5 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks: BWP, BCE, MIC, O, CIM
Chimera Investment CorporationDividend Yield: 10.80% Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM) shares currently have a dividend yield of 10.80%. Chimera Investment Corporation operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 25.54. The average volume for Chimera Investment Corporation has been 9,146,500 shares per day over the past 30 days. Chimera Investment Corporation has a market cap of $3.4 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are up 26.1% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates Chimera Investment Corporation as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- CIM's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 10.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.3%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $109.58 million or 36.72% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, CHIMERA INVESTMENT CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -63.29%.
- The gross profit margin for CHIMERA INVESTMENT CORP is currently very high, coming in at 88.80%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 25.51% trails the industry average.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.

So sorry to hear about that. Did the guy have insurance?

So sorry that happened, but very glad to hear that you're alright. And yes, it is often the brand-new cars that get whacked by total idiots!

I'm glad you are okay, but sorry about the new truck. I feel your pain. I was driving my son's new Mercedes and a BMW backed into it. The guy's insurance paid for it, but it is never the same.
Be sure that you discuss depreciation due to the wreck. Insurance should give that to you.
|The Following User Says Thank You to BajaOklahoma For This Useful Post:
Thank you all so much for your replies! The people on this forum truly are the kindest folks on the net.
First off, Janice: I don't know how I missed the thread about your accident, but I'm so sorry that happened to you, and so glad you and the pups are ok - especially poor Gabby! How frightening! It's a real bummer that your car is a write-off, but as you say, cars can be replaced. I hope you are all recovering well.
Yes, thankfully I'm unhurt and so is the van driver. (Anne: it's a cube van belonging to a construction company. ) He is insured, and despite the fact that Ontario has a no-fault insurance system, it will be his insurance rates going up, not mine. And he was charged by the police. Poor guy - I feel kind of sorry for him. He wasn't intoxicated or anything. Just a guy who lost focus at the end of his workday and made a mistake.
Toby wasn't in the truck with me, thank goodness. His pet porter would have been right there, on the driver side back seat where the guy hit. I'm so thankful my boy was safely at home! And yes, it does seem that these things always happen with new vehicles, and I seem to be a particular magnet. A couple of years ago, when my SUV was new, I got rear-ended. I was stopped at a red light minding my own business, and a guy plowed into the back of me and pushed me clear across the intersection. Speeding on wet roads, couldn't stop. I like the bubble wrap idea.
My truck isn't totaled, but it's badly damaged. No, ArcticCat, it isn't a Ford. It's a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 crew cab, Longhorn Edition, Cummins Turbo Diesel, and it's a beauty. It recently pulled me, Toby and an 8000 lb. travel trailer across Canada, through the Rockies all the way to Tofino and back without breaking a sweat. I love this truck. It will be fixed but it sure is a sorry sight now.

I'm so glad your ok!!!!!
Accidents are the worst! It'll be amazing once your beauty gets fixed up and looks like herself again.
Your right, it always happens when the cars new. I hope this story brings a smile to your face.....
So I spent 2 years convincing my DH that we should trade his gas hog in for a sedan. Not a month after getting the sedan (granted it was a used car, but totally new to us), I was frazzled from planning my BFF's wedding (and also sleep deprived) and accidentally backed the car into a tree!!! Nobody to blame but myself but omg I was so shook up. I slammed into the tree so hard, it lost two buckets of seed casings. I cried and cried and cried because I knew I had to tell my DH that I ruined his brand new car. My co-workers kept telling me "it'll be ok. He's just going to make sure your fine." Then finally, after 5 hours of anticipation (cause he was at work without contact) I got ahold of him and asked him to come to work because I had to show him something. Turns out, he didn't care that the car was damaged or that I did it from being distracted and brain dead. All he cared about was that I was ok. Whew! Insurance fixed the car and didn't even raise our rates (luckily) but it was a life lesson for me. At the time I wasn't playing with my phone or fiddling with the radio, I just didn't double check what gear i was in and my accelerator was a tad touchy. Now we're always triple checking things while driving, and never with distractions.
Ironically, six months later, my DH plowed through a sofa that fell off a truck in the middle of a freeway on ramp. No shoulder, with a car right next to him. Totally ruined the front end. I laugh now, and told him were even. Thankfully he wasn't hurt at all. But that 3 am call took years off my life.

GAO Report: Small Businesses Dodging Taxes in Big Way
Some small businesses appear to be dodging taxes in a pretty big way, according to a new report by a congressional watchdog.
The report by the Government Accountability Office estimates that as much as $91 billion a year in small-business income was "misreported" for the period 2006 to 2009 (out of an average total of $517 billion in such annual receipts). That corresponded to about $19 billion in lost taxes for the federal government each year.

- Obamas' Income Falls as Book Royalties Decline
- Support Dries Up for Renewable-Energy Tax Breaks
- Treasury's New Inversion Rules - At A Glance
- Ambitious Tax-Code Proposals Get Tires Kicked on Capitol Hill
The report probably foreshadows greater attention by lawmakers in the area, given that it was requested by Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), who's now the chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee.
In this case, small businesses include partnerships and other so-called pass-through entities. These businesses typically don't pay a corporate-level tax. Instead, the individual owners pay tax on the profits through their personal returns.
Since the 1980s pass-throughs have become a much bigger part of the economy, largely due to law changes that have made them more attractive for many people, compared to the traditional taxable corporation. Pass-throughs accounted for about a third of U.S. business receipts by 2008, up from 7% in 1980.
The GAO says in its report that the agency needs to find better ways to figure out how to target all the misreported income, which includes underreporting of income, as well as overreported losses. The IRS conducts relatively few audits of partnerships and other pass-throughs, and often doesn't find anything wrong. "Improved examination selection based on more current information could generate more revenue and reduce IRS examinations of compliant taxpayers," GAO wrote.

It has served as the home for the pharmacy school, the public relations and alumni relations offices, the art department and was even used as the student center at one point! Renovations in 1988 and 2003 have prepared the historic building for yet another role on the campus -- it currently houses the International Studies Program as well as the clinical aspect of the University's Behavioral Science Program.

Yankees Win World Series, Unofficially
Three weeks ago I witnessed the Chicago Blackhawks' biggest comeback victory in team history.
The Hawks rallied from five goals down to beat the Calgary Flames 6-5 in OT.
By NHL standards, a five-goal comeback is a rare feat, the same holding true for a 3-1 series deficit in baseball.
What I'm saying is, there's not going to be a dramatic comeback by the Phillies.
At least not needing three-straight wins, two of which will have to come on the road at Yankee Stadium.
Sorry Philly fan, it ain't happen'. Not with Brad Lidge closing, Cole Hamels' pitching and the big-three collectively hitting worse than Nick Swisher.
The Yankees are too deep, A-Rod too great and the NY pitching staff too good for the Bombers to let this thing slip away.
Unless Cliff Lee is equally effective on zero days rest as he is on four, the Phillies are finished…defeated, dethroned.
It's a rather rude greeting, but welcome back to old-times again baseball fans. Welcome back to baseball reality…the World Series is over: Yankees win, Yankees win, thaaa Yankees win. Stinks, I know.

Did Bear Stearns Know These Securities Were a House of Cards?
JPMorgan Chase may come to regret buying Bear Stearns. Suits by Wells Fargo and bond insurer Ambac claim that Bear entirely disregarded loan quality to appease its trading desk's ever-growing demand for mortgages to securitize. Now, those parties are suing to get their money back, and they might get it.

|Minor Character: New York
|New York
| Hitwoman
Serial Killer
|Modus Operandi
|No. of Victims
|Portrayed By
|Kam Heskin
|First Appearance
|Down the Rabbit Hole
Suspect X was a serial killer and hitwoman who appeared in season four of CSI: NY.
It is unknown what caused her need to kill or anything about her background, not even her name. All that is known is that she is very intelligent and possessing a good knowledge of technology. She has been killing for an unknown number of years and has killed anyone from lowly college students to U.S. congressmen. She remained under the radar because of her ability to cover her tracks both physically and electronically.
Season 4
Down the Rabbit Hole
She appeared on the CSI team's radar when she kills a young girl, Cherl Miller, for access to her online avatar character, needing this identity for a hit she plans to commit later. Unfortunately for her, someone sees through her disguise and she is forced to kill him in order to preserve her identity. She later tricks the CSIs into a computer virus when the try to track her. She then proceeds to kill her target before the CSIs can stop her. Making a run for it, she (non-fatally) shoots a random pedestrian to distract the CSIs long enough for her to make her escape.
DOA for a Day
After the above events, her face, having been seen by the CSI team, is shown on every channel and her crimes are made public, thus making her public enemy number-one. As a result of the growing attention, she draws in a new client named Joseph Kirkbaum and gives him a deal: she will kill the woman harassing him, Lori Hess, if he does plastic surgery on a woman, making her look just like herself. After killing the woman Joseph does plastic surgery on, Katie Mann, she then proceeds to kill Lori before killing Joseph to eliminate loose ends. Then, she poses Katie's body for the CSI team to find. They eventually figure out her deception and stop her from killing another hit victim, Jordan Gates, at a rally. Then, they set up a sting where she is killed and they recover her client list.
Modus Operandi
Suspect X used a wormhole to search through people's emails looking for potential clients and victims. She then met her clients and offered a price for the kill. She then proceded to kill her targets using a handgun, usually with a silencer attached to it. She would collect her pay and moves onto the next client. When she killed Cheryl Miller, she tortured her by cutting her neck before shooting her. She also killed Katie Mann by stabbing her to death and disguised Katie as herself to fake her death.
Known Victims
- Killed numerous unnamed people prior to Down the Rabbit Hole
- 2007:
- Unspecified date: Daniel McHenry
- October 24: Cheryl Miller (tortured by cutting her neck before being fatally shot; killed for access to her online character)
- October 25: Johnny O'Dell (killed to preserve her online identity)
- October 26:
- Congressman Phillip Devane
- Unnamed man (attempted, but survived; was non-fatally shot by her in an effort to escape)
- 2008:
- March: Katie Mann (stabbed to death and disguised as Suspect X post-mortem to throw investigators off-track)
- April 1: Lori Hess
- April 2:
- Joseph Kirkbaum (client and accomplice; killed to eliminate loose ends)
- Jordan Gates (intended)
Known Clients
- Presumably had numerous unnamed clients prior to Down the Rabbit Hole
- An unidentified client (hired her to kill Phillip Devane)
- Joseph Kirkbaum (hired her to kill Lori Hess)
- Jordan Gates' unnamed ex-husband (hired her to kill Jordan Gates)
- Season 4

The Latest: Inside Marshall: Defense — 9/4/2008
MADISON, Wis. During their home opener against Illinois State university, the Marshall Thundering Herd limited their opponent to 327 yards of total offense en route to a 35-10 victory. More impressive is the fact ISU ran 83 total plays, good for an average of only 3.9 yards per play. [details]
