Sending to a Pro...
So in June I'm going to be in Africa for two weeks plus travel time to get there. In looking for options for Scout while I am gone the thought popped in my mind that maybe I should look into my pro retriever trainer taking her. I called him up and sure enough he will take her and I was floored by the price--it actually would cost me less to send her for training 3 weeks than boarding. So I think that's where I am sending her.
Now any advice on sending your dog out and leaving them? I am so nervous to leave her for so long. I also feel somewhat guilty about it because up until this point I have done all the training on my own--yes with help and advice but I have always held the leash. Of course, he doesn't think with 3 weeks he'll get real far (partly because he won't put pressure on a dog he isn't bonded) which doesn't really matter as much to me. I just like the idea that she would be getting worked rather than sitting around all day for that time. And I figure I will have a new puppy in a few years that I can shoot for the only owner-trained again if I want.
She will spend a lot of time in an outdoor kennel and might have to learn how to get in his truck kennels. She loves being outside but it makes me nervous. Do you think it will be a hard adjustment?
Hey! I was wondering about you and Scout the other day! I think it is a great idea. She will get a lot more work and mental stimulation PLUS get to work with birds than she will in a typical boarding kennel. I would do it, especially if this is someone you trust and respect. She will be having fun and won't even know you're gone! Enjoy Africa... that is so cool!

I tried to get Tito into the truck kennel today for the first time. He simply wasn't hearing of it. He had to be picked up and shoved in. Both times.
Other than that, I'm sure Scout will be just fine, and no doubt will have a great time!

She should adapt okay since she already knows the trainer. You have several months before your trip, so I would make a point ofgoing out to his property a few times and maybe pop her in the kennels while you have lunch etc so that it is not new to her. The trainer who mentored me will also sometimes give "non-kennel" dogs who come in a buddy to share their run with and that helps as well.

Thanks its a ways out so we have time for that training adjustment. I'll also see if he can spend a few minutes with her each future lesson for bonding. Pete says it could take a few hours to a week to bond with a dog...however I don't think this will be an issue with Scout. He has his own land with quite a bit of water so hopefully she will be swimming a lot.
I think it's a great opportunity! How fun! Where in Africa are you headed?

I would do what others have said and go for a visit or two ahead of time. When we first boarded our dogs for our wedding (Samantha was 4, Mulligan 2, and neither had ever been with anyone other than family should we go out of town). It was AWFUL leaving them that first time and I was worried sick my entire honeymoon. Samantha had to be literally shoved into the run as she was trying her hardest to leave with us. We got a great report though when we called and later returned.
We've since boarded them twice for a weekend each time. You wouldn't even know we existed the last two stays. They were so excited to see the owner and visit with other dogs that they didn't know we were leaving.
Try a short, one or two day stay if you can ahead of time. I bet it will put your mind and ease and she will be happy to go when you leave for the big trip. Have fun in Africa!
Going to Kenya for safari. Going to be fun. I've never been out of the country before so I am super excited! Unfortunately the trip will come with lots and lots of shots. Eeek!
I do hope to see some photos.

TUNISIAN-BORN Jerusalemite bass player Jean Claude Jones performs at the Hachazit Festival in Jerusalem..
(photo credit:BARRY DAVIS)
The Hachazit Festival, now in its second year, has become a shop window for the bustling alternative music scene in Jerusalem.There was a palpable buzz on Shoshan Street, at Hamazkeka and the smaller Bet Hazikuk room just down the road during the festival. Audiences packed both venues, and there was plenty of to-ing and fro-ing outside on the street, as fans and artists – including Israelis who currently live and work in Berlin and Holland – mingled.Free improv guitarist Ido Buckelman's opener on Monday was a typically free-flowing affair. In recent years Buckelman increasingly featured arco banjo in his work, but appears to have reverted to his first instrument. Judging by Monday's slot it was a good move. He delivered his regular frenetically percussive fare but there were some richly crafted blues sentiments in there too, and there was rhyme and reason to the end product. It was a gripping tour de force.

Heads of public procurement departments have complained about threats issued by interested parties in tenders announced by public institutions.
Judge (rtd) Thomas Mihayo, acting chairman of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), made this observation when closing a training stint for heads of purchasing units in the country.
"A lot of money is used in procurement of various sorts of machinery; where there is a road being built that is procurement. Threats come from certain quarters where there are individuals with vested interests on the tenders being issued," he said.
Citing an example, he said that when someone makes a tender application he also seeks to ensure that his application is one among those being prioritized by the procurement department. Once an applicant fails to use other means to obtain the tender such a person is likely to resort to threats, the retired judge noted.
"They level threats of harming an officer or use some key administrative office which would remind the (youthful) tender officer that if he doesn't issue the tender to that person he will be sacked or transferred.
He said, however, that were it to be ascertained that a certain purchasing or procurement tender was issued in contravention of the Procurement Act it could lead to foreclosure of the tendering process.
Judge Mihayo said that the training has included advice on how to deal with such threats, in which case amended legislation that is being prepared shall go a long way to resolve challenges of that sort, in case purchasing executives conduct their work diligently.
He also urged procurement experts to form an umbrella body to spell out rules of probity in the profession, and if anyone among them goes against its provisions he would be punished according to provisions thereof.
"Many of you here were painfully taking account of the state of the procurement industry, that it is ensnared in scandals, or in short let us say it is seen to be dirty," he said, citing a presentation by the PPRA chief executive where he revisited intense debate at the time of the passage of the new procurement act last year.
"What this means is that the masses are concerned and may not be confident about you, who re responsible for procurement," the judge intoned.
PPRA chief executive Dr.Ramadhan Mlinga said that the new procurement law whose accompanying regulations are yet to be gazetted, provides that obtaining a tender without following lawful procedures, including by use of threats, will be prosecuted as a criminal offence.
"Anyone convicted of that offence faces a jail term of seven years or 10m shillings fine," he added.

Hi everyone,
As some of you may be aware, in the past, we have asked our members to contribute to the VSE website by sending in their reviews. We are now looking to add some more awesome reviews, and who better to ask than your vintage synth knowledgeable selves again!
If you would like to have a bash at writing a review (and your submission is approved), you will be given a 'VSE Contributor' ranking in the forum, as well as a $30 Amazon Gift Card, just because we're nice like that. HOWEVER, there are certain criteria to be met in order for a review to be published:
- We want NEW reviews; please check which synth reviews are already listed on the website.
- It must be informative and impartial and provide as many links & facts about the instrument as possible.
- It must be articulate, and based on first hand experience of the instrument.
- The review itself must be a minimum of 500 words.
We will be proofreading and checking the facts of each submission, before (hopefully) approving and publishing. You will receive full credit as the author of the article on the page, if it is added.
There are two ways to submit a review, either via the submissions form on the VSE website, which you can find here: submission.php Or, if you run into any issues with this form, you can use the link below:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1tMrGWw ... =send_form
It is important that you fill out as many of the form fields as possible, as of course, we want to offer as much information about the synths to our readers as we can.
So, in summary, if you have experience with a synth that isn't featured at the VSE, and you feel this synth justifies some praise (or not as the case may be), we would be more than happy to add it to the VSE collection. Furthermore, if you have any questions, please feel free to send us a private message.
Thanks guys, and we look forward to receiving your synth reviews soon!
P.S. It sounds obvious, but please ONLY use the submission form for submitting serious reviews! Submissions will be immediately rejected if they are used simply to recommend adding an instrument, if information from other sites is copied and pasted in, if they are fairly incomplete or if they do not meet our standards. If you are not able to write a review of a synth and provide some basic specs and links then this is not for you.

- "Nero's very presence has altered the flow of history, beginning with the attack on the USS Kelvin, culminating in the events of today, thereby creating an entire new chain of incidents that cannot be anticipated by either party."
- "An alternate reality?"
- "Precisely."
The alternate reality was the new reality created when the temporal incursion of the Narada from the year 2387 disrupted the time continuum. Accidentally traveling back to the year 2233, Nero, the captain of the Narada, attacked the USS Kelvin. The attack resulted in the deaths of George Kirk and Richard Robau and the destruction of the Kelvin. Spock arrived to the alternate reality in 2258 and was captured by Nero, who used red matter to destroy Vulcan. However, Nero's attacks united the crew of the USS Enterprise years earlier, to foil his attempt to destroy Earth. (Star Trek)
In the prime universe, the supernova of 2387 threatened the entire galaxy. Ambassador Spock was able to halt the supernova, via the use of red matter to create an artificial singularity, or black hole, which absorbed the exploding star, but was too late to save the planet Romulus from destruction. The Narada, a Romulan mining ship under the command of Captain Nero, was pulled into the black hole, followed by Spock's ship, the Jellyfish.
Nero placed blame on the Federation for the loss of his homeworld and sought revenge. He emerged from the black hole in 2233. The USS Kelvin was the first ship that Nero encountered and attacked; Captain Richard Robau promoted his first officer, Lieutenant Commander George Kirk, to captaincy before ordering the evacuation of the ship and agreeing to come aboard the Narada. There, Captain Robau was interrogated regarding the whereabouts of Spock, with whom Robau was unfamiliar and, moments after he informed Nero of the current stardate, he was murdered.
Nero then proceeded to attack the Kelvin. Kirk used the Kelvin's weapons to prevent Nero from destroying the evacuating shuttles departing the ship, ultimately sacrificing himself by ramming the Kelvin into the Narada. Kirk's actions saved some 800 lives, including his wife, Winona Kirk, and their newborn son, James, but failed to destroy the Narada.
As a major consequence of these events, James Kirk grew up without his father and without the ambitions his father gave him in the prime reality. However, he was persuaded by Christopher Pike to join Starfleet, five years later than he had done in the prime reality.
In the meantime, other events happened differently. Pavel Chekov was born in 2241, while the Romulans were confirmed as relations of the Vulcans. Plans for the Constitution class were pushed back by a decade and the USS Enterprise began construction in 2255 at the Riverside Shipyard in Iowa. It was launched three years later, as the Federation flagship. Spock was already promoted to Commander by this point. Starfleet continued using the simple <earth calendar year>.<day of the year> format for stardates, and began using gold, blue and red colors for their uniforms. They also adopted the Kelvin assignment patch as the sole Starfleet insignia. The Vulcan High Command was reinstated as the Vulcan High Council.
Destruction of Vulcan
- Main articles: Battle of Vulcan and Battle of Earth
In 2258, Nero captured the Jellyfish as it emerged from travel through the black hole. He marooned Spock on Delta Vega, and despite the efforts of the USS Enterprise, he used a portion of the remaining red matter aboard to destroy the planet Vulcan and six billion of its inhabitants, including Amanda Grayson. While marooned on Delta Vega, Spock encountered the alternate James T. Kirk and made him aware of the prime reality and the altered past. He also met Montgomery Scott and gave him the formula for transwarp beaming, which Scott used to transport Kirk and the young Spock to the Narada, allowing them to prevent a similar fate for Earth by detonating the Jellyfish and its red matter to destroy the Narada.
Afterward, Christopher Pike was promoted to Admiral and Kirk and Spock became captain and first officer of the Enterprise, which was officially launched on a voyage of exploration, with much of its commanding crew comprised of those who served aboard it in the prime reality during 2267: Kirk, Spock, Scott, Chekov, Leonard McCoy, Hikaru Sulu and Nyota Uhura. Spock maintained a relationship with Uhura and reconciled with his father, Sarek, following the deaths of his Human mother and most of his own people. Ambassador Spock intended to found a new Vulcan colony for the 10,000 Vulcan survivors. (Star Trek)

The alternate reality runs parallel to the prime reality as a new quantum reality. The prime reality is where many of the events seen in the Star Trek universe have occurred and, according to Star Trek writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, their film allows the prime reality to continue.[1]
This intent is also evident in the script of Star Trek. [2] While not completely audible in the film, before being teased by his classmates, young Spock is asked by the computer in the learning center on Vulcan: "What is the central assumption of Quantum Cosmology?" To which Spock replies: "Everything that can happen does happen in equal and parallel universes."
As the alternate reality is merely divergent rather than a completely new universe, this means backstory elements pertaining to anything before 2233 hold true for both timelines. Director J.J. Abrams said here that "It's actually nice when you're given a box.... when you're given parameters that you have to honor because it gives you limits and then you know that within those boundaries you can be creatively risky."
Star Trek screenwriter Roberto Orci (in a post on Ain't It Cool News [3] as well as in an interview with Star Trek Magazine [4]) and J.J. Abrams (in an interview with MTV, conducted between the two aforementioned statements from Orci [5]) established a reason why technology in the alternate reality appears to be more advanced than it is during the same period in the prime reality; scans of the 24th century Narada, taken by the Kelvin, were brought back to Starfleet by the survivors on the Kelvin's shuttles.
The Star Trek screenplay contains a musing from Spock Prime, having told by Kirk that Chekov, Sulu, and Uhura were all serving in the Enterprise (by this point he takes it for granted that McCoy is as well), while Scotty is on the same planet as the two of them, that Kirk's implausible meetings with the people who would become his crew in the prime reality may be the result of the timeline trying to repair itself from Nero's damage. The film's novelization by Alan Dean Foster preserves this exchange.
Writers Mike Johnson and Tim Jones wrote Star Trek: Countdown, a comic book prequel to Star Trek expanding on the events in the prime reality leading to the Narada's arrival back in time. Johnson and Jones subsequently collaborated on Star Trek: Nero, based on the deleted scenes regarding Nero's imprisonment, and Star Trek: The Official Motion Picture Adaptation. Johnson writes the ongoing Star Trek comic, launched in September 2011, which explores how some classic stories unfold in the new timeline.
Four novels set after Star Trek were set to be published in 2010: Refugees, Seek a Newer World, More Beautiful Than Death and The Hazard of Concealing. The novels were announced as being on hold as of 14 January 2010. On his blog, Refugees author Alan Dean Foster speculated the hold was due to the plots of the novels possibly conflicting with the next film. Two years later, Christopher L. Bennett posted "All I can say is that most of the speculations I hear about why the books were pulled are wrong. It wasn't about conflicts with the second movie."[6] A series of young adult books, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, following the characters during their time at the Academy, began in November 2010.
In The Needs of the Many, a novel based upon the Star Trek Online series, when Dulmur, one of the Department of Temporal Investigations agents from DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", is institutionalized and suffering from temporal psychosis, he has memories of not only his timeline, but of several others as well - including one where Vulcan was destroyed a century prior. Another novel Watching the Clock goes into detail about how and why some forms of time travel create parallel alternate realities and others lead to the overwriting of the same timeline. Bennett, the author, stated this was an in-universe explanation for the co-existence of the prime and alternate realities.[7]

The Elegy is a sports car from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Elegy is based loosely on the eighth generation (R32) Nissan Skyline, which was only sold officially in Japan and Australia and is rarely ever seen in the US market. It actually seems to be an amalgmation of various Skylines, taking its squarish front mostly from the R31 Skyline, and its basic shape from the R32. The vehicle has offley weird shaped tailights bearing the resemblance of the R34 Tailights. The Elegy is rear-wheel drive, unlike the well known Skyline GT-R, which is all-wheel drive, but the Elegy's understated styling, closed grille, and lack of any large wing means it's likely to be more closely related to rear-wheel-drive Skylines such as the GTS-t.
Acceleration, speed, and handling are very impressive, but has a huge amount of torque, causing burnouts, fishtailing and oversteer as the engine tends to overpower the drivetrain, threatening to spin it out if attempting to turn in corners. This also makes the car virtually unmanageable at high speeds after a back tire has been shot out, making it extremely difficult to maintain control. Because of the massive power, the Elegy spins out when you drift the car. The Elegy has a short wheelbase and strong body, so it is capable of withstanding a good deal of damage. With a little practice, the Elegy can be used as a drift car without the use of handling mods.The Elegy's engine is a twin-turbo 3.8 liter V6. Horsepower is at least 320 hp. The maxiumum topspeed for the elegy is 180MPH ( 289KPH ).
Since it is a tuner, it can only be modified in Wheel Arch Angels in Ocean Flats, San Fierro.

- The default radio station in the Elegy is CSR 103.9.
- Due to the lower height of its driver's seat, CJ will kick the car's occupant when stealing the car.
- The Skoiloine, a removed car from GTA:LCS, is possibly based on the Elegy.
- With the Elegy having poor grip at high speeds, players tend to use it as a drift car without modded handling lines.
- Wu Zi Mu uses a pink Elegy in mission, Farewell, My Love....
- In literature, Elegy is a mournful, melancholic or plaintive poem.
- It's beta name was going to be Legend 566 but it changed to Elegy. There are 3 hidden paintjobs in the game files that are called: Legend1, Legend2 and Legend3. They can be inserted in the game by using an IMG editor that could open gta3.img and export the 3 hidden files to the computer and renaming them to Elegy1, Elegy2 and Elegy3 or rename them to Elegy4, Elegy5 and Elegy6 and export to the gta3.img file again, this option will keep all the paintjobs.
- Usually found around The Strip in Las Venturas or in Downtown San Fierro
- Found around San Fierro Triads turfs like in Calton Heights or in Chinatown, both in San Fierro
- Found inside the Wang Cars showroom upon completion of Test Drive

Harris: Celebrate a Kentucky Proud Christmas
To the editor:
A month ago, there was a dust-up in Frankfort regarding what to call the evergreen tree that traditionally stands in the front of the capitol every Christmas season.
For most of us, this symbol of the renewal and promise of Christ's birth is called the Christmas tree. Regrettably, in a misguided attempt to be politically correct, the governor decided to be the first Kentucky governor to call it a holiday tree.

The Hokage (火影, Literally meaning: Fire Shadow) are the leaders of Konohagakure. They are generally acknowledged as the strongest in the village, although ideology and renown plays a large part in their being chosen for the position. Four shinobi and one kunoichi have gained this title so far, with another shinobi gaining the title of Hokage Candidate.
The title and role was created by Hashirama Senju shortly after the establishment of Konoha.[1] Generally, the new Hokage is selected by the current Hokage upon their retirement, but if the old Hokage dies or is incapacitated before being able to do so, the Fire Daimyō will appoint a Hokage Candidate upon the recommendation of the Konoha council and the Fire Daimyō council. Afterwards, the candidate will need to be approved by the jōnin of the village to become officially Hokage.
After being approved, they move into the Hokage Residence to live in and have their faces carved out in the monument behind it. If the former Hokage is still alive, they will generally keep helping out, making the transition easier and more stable. The Hokage carry their title for life, even after retiring from active duty. The Hokage's office is located in the administrative section of the Academy.
List of Hokage
First Hokage
Main article: Hashirama Senju Hashirama Senju (千手柱間, Senju Hashirama) was the First Hokage (初代火影, Shodai Hokage, Literally meaning: First or Founding Fire Shadow) of Konohagakure. He was famous in life as the God of Shinobi (忍の神, Shinobi no Kami, English TV: The Supreme Shinobi) for his unmatched ninja prowess. Despite that, Hashirama only wanted peace, and to that end founded Konoha with his childhood friend and rival, Madara Uchiha. Although he was not able to achieve peace during his lifetime, his legacy would live on to continue to shape the village for decades after his death.
Second Hokage
Main article: Tobirama Senju Tobirama Senju (千手扉間, Senju Tobirama) was a member of the renown Senju clan, who, together with his elder brother, and the Uchiha clan founded the first shinobi village: Konohagakure. Tobirama would work tirelessly to achieve political stability and implement the institutions that made the village system work, thus ensuring Konoha's continuity and prosperity. After his brother's death, he would succeed the title of Second Hokage (二代目火影, Nidaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Second Fire Shadow).
Third Hokage
Main article: Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi (猿飛ヒルゼン, Sarutobi Hiruzen) was the Third Hokage (三代目火影, Sandaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Third Fire Shadow) of Konohagakure. A disciple of the village's previous Hokage, Hiruzen was a powerful ninja, hailed as a "God of Shinobi". Though he was only ever directly the teacher of the Sannin, generations of Konoha ninja benefited from his wisdom during his lifetime.
Fourth Hokage
Main article: Minato Namikaze Minato Namikaze (波風ミナト, Namikaze Minato) was the Fourth Hokage (四代目火影, Yondaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Fourth Fire Shadow) of Konohagakure. He was famous in life for his speed, leading to the moniker of Konoha's Yellow Flash (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō, English TV: Yellow Flash of the Leaf). He died during the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, sacrificing his life to seal a part of the Nine-Tails into his newborn son, Naruto Uzumaki.
Fifth Hokage
Main article: Tsunade Tsunade (綱手) is one of Konohagakure's Sannin. She eventually gained the title of Konoha's Slug Princess Tsunade (木ノ葉のナメクジ綱手姫, Konoha no Namekuji Tsunade-hime). Though celebrated as the world's strongest kunoichi and its greatest medical-nin, the repeated loss of her loved ones caused Tsunade to abandon the life of a shinobi for many years. She is eventually persuaded to return to Konoha as its Fifth Hokage (五代目火影, Godaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Fifth Fire Shadow), where her skills prove invaluable to the village.
Other Hokage
Sixth Hokage Candidate
Main article: Danzō Shimura Danzō Shimura (志村ダンゾウ, Shimura Danzō) was an elder of Konohagakure. As the founder and leader of Root, Danzō gained notoriety as The Darkness of the Shinobi (忍の闇, Shinobi no Yami, English TV: The Shinobi of Darkness)[2] because of his frequent unsanctioned actions and his often-suspected (but rarely proven) undermining of specific Konoha personnel. Despite his decades of suspicious deeds, Danzō only ever acted in what he believed were the village's best interests. He was appointed the Sixth Hokage Candidate (六代目火影候補, Rokudaime Hokage Kōho, Literally meaning: Sixth Fire Shadow Candidate) shortly after Pain's assault on the village just before his death.
Alternate Fourth Hokage
Main article: Kizashi Haruno In the Genjutsu World in Naruto 6: Road to Ninja, Kizashi Haruno was the Fourth Hokage, however, like Minato in the real world, he died protecting the village.
- Hashirama Senju was the one to coin the term "Hokage", and actually intended the position to be held by Madara Uchiha. The decision, however, was left up to public consensus, and Hashirama was chosen for the position.[3]
- All of the former Hokage have been sealed away in the stomach of the Death God summoning. Kabuto Yakushi notes that none of them can be reincarnated via the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation technique.[4] All four, however, were eventually released by Orochimaru from the Shinigami's stomach, and reincarnated by him.[5]
- At least four of the Hokage had their official office photographs taken while wearing a ceremonial necklace of sorts.[6]
- Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, was said to be the strongest Hokage in the village's history, as well as strongest of the five Kage of his era.[7][8][9]
- Kakashi Hatake has been considered a prime candidate for the position as Hokage by several characters.[10][11][12] He would have been officially appointed as the Sixth Hokage (either the Sixth or Seventh Hokage in the anime) if Tsunade hadn't woken up moments beforehand.[13][14]
- According to Asuma Sarutobi, his student Shikamaru Nara has the ability to become Hokage, but won't due to him being too lazy to want to.[15]
- Orochimaru was once a prime candidate to be the Fourth Hokage, but due to his lust for power and lack of love for the village, the Third passed him over.[16]
- After Orochimaru was passed over for this position, Hiruzen intended to choose Jiraiya to be the Fourth Hokage, but Jiraiya refused due to his journeys as an author and his quest to chase down the renegade Orochimaru.[17] After Hiruzen and Minato died, Jiraiya was once again offered the position as the Fifth, but he once again rejected it.[18] When Tsunade went into a coma, the Fire Daimyō commented how he would have liked Jiraiya to be the Sixth, but by that time Jiraiya had already died.[19]
- Naruto Uzumaki was made Hokage for a week in the storyline of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3. Might Guy was also made Hokage (Guykage as it was named) in the Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden spin-off.

|Minor Character: New York

|Birth Date
|December 5, 19XX
|Calliope Eckhart (wife, deceased)
|New York
|Former architect
|Serial Killer
|Modus Operandi
|No. of Victims
|Portrayed By
|Skeet Ulrich
|First Appearance
"That bastard killed you (Calliope)! Just like the bastard who sold him the gun! Like the shrink who should've warned his wife! The guard who should have stopped him from coming in! But I'm just as much to blame as them."
Hollis Eckhart, a.k.a. "The Compass Killer", is a delusional serial killer who appeared throughout season 6 of CSI: NY.
Hollis worked as an architect and divisions manager at the New York City city surveyor's office and was in a happy marriage. On his birthday, December 5, 2007, Hollis was due to meet his wife, Calliope, for dinner, but as he was running late at work, he asked her to come. Upon arriving, she gave him his birthday present, an engraved compass. Outside the office, a man and his girlfriend had an argument which resulted in him producing a shotgun, killing her and shooting random people on the floor. Hollis and Calliope hid in his office, where he blocked the door best he could and Calliope called 911. The shooter shot him through the door, injuring him, and then killed Calliope in front of his eyes before killing himself. Hollis survived the incident, but was left severely scarred, both physically and emotionally, with bullet fragments lodged in his temporal lobe. He suffered post-traumatic stress disorder, which led to delusional schizophrenia. He was later arrested for assault, but was declared not guilty due to insanity and sentenced to psychiatric help. While institutionalized, he grew obsessed with taking revenge on the people he felt were responsible for his wife's death, including himself, and would blame the staff for a lot of things they hadn't done. He created a detailed fantasy world surrounding the event, complete with some people he never even met and whom he believed were partially to blame, such as the man who sold the shooter the gun and the security guard who was asleep when the shooter entered. At some point, he was able to escape, simply by walking out the front door, and move into an apartment where he still kept hallucinating about Calliope.
In Lat/Long, he killed Dario Gonzales, a night custodian, believing him to be the man who had sold the office shooter the gun. In the same episode, he killed Caroline Hillcroft, believing her to be the psychiatrist who didn't recognize the shooter's violent behavior. After that, he went to the Crime Lab's morgue, claiming to be Hillcroft's husband even though she was a widow, and placed a compass with a crazily spinning needle next to her body. Hollis then remained inactive until Cuckoo's Nest, when he killed Richard Caldrone, a bouncer, believing him to be the security guard who let the shooter in. In the end, Hollis was tracked down, just before he was going to kill himself the same way he killed his victims and ran. Held at gunpoint by NYPD, Hollis put a gun to his head, intending to kill himself for asking Calliope to join him at the office, but was talked down by Mac and arrested. Given his mental illness, he was most likely institutionalized.
Modus Operandi
Hollis targeted people who resembled his imagination of certain people who were indirectly responsible for the office shooting, believing them to be the actual people involved. He would kill them by strangling them with a garrote and then hang them with rope to make it appear as a suicide. Hollis apparently only intended to kill his third victim, Richard Caldrone, by hanging, having sedated him in advance, but had to shoot him in the chest instead when the sedative wore off and broke free from his bonds. He would then leave behind a compass whose needle was stuck pointing to a direction, based the locations of New York where they were killed and staple a fake suicide note to their clothing expressing remorse for some action related to the office shooting, all of them ending with "I'm Sorry". For Richard, Hollis had to place the suicide note on the bridge he was going hang him on. The notes were all handwritten on vintage paper and ink from the 1964 Worlds Fair, which Hollis visited when he was a child.
- Unspecified date: An unspecified charge of assault
- 2009:
- October 6: Dario Gonzales (suicide note read "I Shouldn't Have Tried to Make a Fast Buck"; compass needle pointed north)
- October 7-8: Carole Hillcroft (suicide note read "I Should Have Written the Letter When I Had the Chance"; compass needle pointed south)
- November 18: Richard Caldrone (sedated with cloneizapam; intended to kill by hanging; shot; placed his suicide note on a bridge read; "I Should Have Stayed Awake"; compass needle pointed east)
- Skeet Ulrich had previously portrayed another serial killer, Billy Loomis, in cult horror movie Scream.
- Season Six

It is only a few days ago that the latest doctors' strike whose impact to society is still being felt came to an end, after the intervention of our President.
At this time, when members of the public who endured the brunt of that unpleasant experience are feeling deserved relief, a person who dare suggest that what we have seen may be a proverbial calm before the storm is likely to be branded a pessimist, if not a trouble rouser, unless he presents his case convincingly. This is a challenge to be overcome in this column.
By the way, discussion on the subject is still going on in our midst, mainly because the first round of the latest strike was associated with about 200 deaths countrywide and much suffering of innocent patients.
Hence, there are all sorts of comments about the incident, some based on reliable information while others are derived from rumours. You then hear viewpoints which generate more heat than light, as one political analyst put it the other day.
There is a local English daily newspaper which this week came up with an eye-catching front page story with a headline which screamed: " No more doctors' strikes".
A person with a few bucks to spare could not avoid buying this newspaper, as the temptation to find out who has discovered the magic wand to solve a problem of this magnitude is too big to be ignored. The writer was a victim of this newspaper selling antic and bought it straight. He has no regrets as the story gave him a theme for this commentary on silver platter.
In short the story was about President Jakaya Kikwete's speech while addressing elders of Dar as Salaam during the week, his main theme being the just ended doctors' strike.
He is quoted to have narrated the history of the strike and, as expected, used the opportunity to try and convince his audience that his government and previous ones have done their best to improve the working conditions of doctors and other health sector workers, only that the efforts are constrained by inadequate financial resources.
In any case, it is true the President said he expected the doctors not to go on strike in future, and this is where the "no more doctors' strike in future" headline originated.
What is the basis for the President's expectation that from now onwards a strike by doctors will be history? Analysis of his speech reveals two reasons. The first reason he gave is that professional ethics and the country's laws do not allow professionals in sensitive areas like the health sector to go on strikes, as doing so may put lives of citizens at risk.
The second reason appears to be that, after all, some of the demands of doctors will be met and costs involved will be incorporated in the 2012/2013 national budget.
Now, the interesting aspect here is that on different occasions when the doctors have opted for going on strike, professional ethics and laws barring them from resorting to such actions have been in place - one may even say doctors are not ignorant of their professional ethics and the Hippocratic oath they take on graduation, even if not all of them may be conversant with the law which prohibit strike in professions of this nature. But experienced colleagues can guide them on this aspect in time of crisis.
From the aforesaid, we note that there are enough precedents to show that when workers' frustration reach a boiling point, they tend to put aside matters of professional ethics and regulations as they opt to lay down tools at any cost.
Of course, when the most powerful government leader says he does not expect doctors to resort to a strike option again because the laws of the land do not allow them to do so, those who read such statements between the lines should be able to decode the veiled message - which is simply that the government has been lenient enough in the past and won't hesitate to use the stick in case incidents of this nature recur in future.
But can this approach guarantee that professionals in sensitive areas won't lay down tools when shortchanged while politicians, parliamentarians, administrators and others engaged in less taxing jobs enjoy better salaries and perks?
As we conclude, we may as well make it clear that those who consider the doctors' latest strike as calm before the storm do not necessarily wish our country chaos but see signs indicating that workers in other sectors, who find it difficult to make ends meet, are too restless to guarantee industrial harmony.

Thanks for the comments and the rep! This style is the best so far IMO for creating good looking city maps in really no time. You all know the the situation: the players should go to city A (or B (and if your a well prepared GM town C)), but they want to go to city Z because the beer in the "Ugly Witch" was so good. No problem now. Generate a city with the RPG Citymap Generator, import it in to PS and (I have not tried yet, but it should go) run a macro and your city is finished. Praise Ascension for this!
Good use of a good tutorial. My one critique is that the title gets a bit lost in the background - especially in the forest.
I like the layout and the forest style is lovely. Well done.
Nice, I like it.

I have not expected to get that amount of feedback for this map. Thank you all. Normally I think to much about each line I (will) draw and this map was done very fast. I've learned a lot about time management. Thanks again!
Good stuff, man. I like it a lot.

Colorado Funded Programs and Activities
Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP)
Injury is a leading killer in all 50 states. However, due to variations in geography, weather conditions, and population groups, injury problems often vary between states. Through the Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP), CDC supports grantee partners to build capacity related to the prevention and control of injuries and to develop or strengthen their injury surveillance programs, particularly those with a focus on traumatic brain injury (TBI).
National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)
NVDRS is a state-based surveillance system that links data from law enforcement, coroners and medical examiners, vital statistics, and crime laboratories to assist each participating state in designing and implementing tailored prevention and intervention efforts. NVDRS provides data on violence trends at national and regional levels; each state can access all of these important data elements from one central database.
Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Program
Sexual violence, including rape, is preventable. Recognizing this, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. This landmark legislation established the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of the RPE program is to strengthen sexual violence prevention efforts. It operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and six U.S. territories.

Governor Pat McCrory is calling on President Obama and congressional leaders to find a solution to the looming sequestration.
Governor McCrory is in Washington, D.C. this weekend as part of the National Governors Association's annual meeting of the minds.
"North Carolina has 5 major military bases, so we're extremely concerned about sequestration. But, more than anything, we want Washington to fix this problem. Right now I want to ask the president, along with congressional leaders, to get in a room and do what governors are doing across this nation and start reading their budget and make the tough decisions, as opposed to across the board cuts," said Governor McCrory on the sequester stalemate.
Sessions over the next 4 days will include meetings with the President, members of his Cabinet, business leaders, and other experts to discuss issues affecting all states. Top agenda items include tax reform, cyber security, improving public school systems, employing people with disabilities, and extreme weather events.

Tanzanians have been urged to invest in education in order to support pupils with albinism to proceed with their studies for the betterment of the country's development and its people's future.
This was said here over the weekend by president and founder of Under the Same Sun (UTSS) Peter Ash at an awarding ceremony to 20 pupils with albinism who passed both their annual and terminal examinations.
"Today we are here for a very special occasion, of which our beloved pupils with albinism have excelled in their examinations," he said
Ash urged communities to value pupils with albinism in the country because, if empowered, they can do wonders in the country, urged them not to intimidate them since they are like other pupils.
"Children with albinism are smart like other children in the world, they succeed in school examinations and other things. When we started an education fund programme in Tanzania we believed pupils with albinism had the ability to perform well and that is why we are here today," he said.
He urged pupils with albinism in the country to study had so that in future years future they will be in a position to serve the country in getting positive development.
Pupils who were awarded were from Jelly's English Medium School and Lake View English Medium School.
For his part, UTSS Tanzania Education Scholarship Fund programme officer Gamariel Mboya said UTSS decided to award the pupils with albinism so as to value their efforts as they had been transferred from ordinary schools to English medium schools where it was thought they couldn't perform well.
"Our president and founder of UTSS Peter Ash was having a plan last year to award pupils with albinism who were transferred from Mitindo Primary School in Misungwi district to come here to study in special English medium schools in Mwanza city. As you can see today, actually we are very proud of them, they have performed well in their examinations compared to pupils who were studying here before," said Mboya.
For her part, UTSS Tanzania executive director for Media and International Affairs Vicky Ntetema noted that Sasuma was a confident albinism pupil after she visited him last year at his school in Kahama district and encouraged him to study hard.
"Today we are awarding a confident and heroic pupil," she said.
Ntetema urged the government through the Ministry of Education and Culture to provide training to teachers who teache pupils with albinism so they can be competent in their work.

The Citizens' Voice reports ( http://bit.ly/14Uiebh) authorities say 36-year-old Jessie Con-ui was moved Friday from the high-security federal prison in Allenwood to the facility in Florience, Colo. A Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman would not give a reason for the transfer.
Officials say Con-ui is the suspect in the Feb. 25 killing of Corrections Officer Eric Williams, who was working in a housing unit at the federal prison in Wayne County when an inmate using a homemade weapon attacked him.
Con-ui had been jailed for his role in an Arizona drug-trafficking operation. He was scheduled to complete the sentence in September and would have been returned to Arizona to serve a life term for a 2002 murder.

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich says he's inherited the worst budget crisis Illinois has ever known.
Gov. Blagojevich told reporters in Chicago the financial situation is the result of years of spending without regard for the immediate and long-term fiscal health of Illinois.
The governor has appointed the team he hopes will help him bring the state out of that crisis. Blagojevich named John Filan as his budget director. The governor also appointed state representative Julie Curry to be the deputy chief of staff for economic development and labor.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell says federal spending and the country's debt will dominate the congressional agenda for the next three months, and that debate about potential gun legislation in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting will take a back seat.
The Kentucky lawmaker tells ABC's "This Week" that lawmakers will wait to see what an Obama administration review led by Vice President Joe Biden might propose. McConnell says Congress will need to study any recommendations and then see what's appropriate to do.
But he says that over the coming months, nothing much beyond the country's finances will occupy the attention of Congress.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Blake Wheeler scored his second goal of the game with 4:54 remaining to lift the Winnipeg Jets to a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.
Wheeler sped in on a partial breakaway after Carolina defenseman Joe Corvo slipped near the blue line and beat goalie Cam Ward. Wheeler's goal concluded a stretch where the teams scored three goals in a span of 1:03.
Jiri Tlutsy scored twice for Carolina while Jordan Staal also scored for the Hurricanes. Cam Ward made 19 saves.
Andrew Ladd and Evander Kane also scored for Winnipeg and Ondrej Pavelec made 27 saves. Ladd also had two assists.
The Jets have won the first two games of a five-game road trip after losing three in a row at home.
Earlier in the day, Jets rookie defenseman Zach Redmond had surgery to repair a laceration to an artery in his right leg after a teammate accidentally stepped on him during the club's morning skate.
The injury occurred near the end of practice when Redmond tripped and landed on his back. The teammate then stepped on Redmond with his skate, opening a sizeable wound in Redmond's mid-thigh region -- cutting the femoral artery.
Redmond was rushed to the hospital and underwent a three-hour operation, the team said. The Jets added that Redmond was resting comfortably and will be out indefinitely.

Celestina Warbeck (b. 1917) was a popular singer known as the "The Singing Sorceress". She is often featured on the Wizarding Wireless Network, at the show Witching Hour.[2]
Early life
Little is known about Warbeck's early life. She probably completed her magical studies before becoming a singer.
Career as a singer
After becoming a singer, Warbeck became well-known in wizarding Great Britain, getting involved in important causes frequently. She protested against the Ministry of Magic's decision to restrict Halloween celebrations,[3] and recorded a version of the Puddlemere United Quidditch team's anthem, Beat Back Those Bludgers, Boys, and Chuck That Quaffle Here, to raise funds for St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.[4] She also featured heavily on shows at the Wizarding Wireless Network, one being the Witching Hour, hosted by Glenda Chittock.[2]
Celestina is Molly Weasley's favourite singer. During Christmas, the Weasley family and their guests listened to a Christmas broadcast at the WWN, in which the musician sang tunes such as A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love and You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me.[5] Despite Mrs. Weasley's enthusiasm, none of the other people at The Burrow seemed to pay much attention to the songs, except for Fleur Delacour, who despised them, as she was mimicing the lyrics and saying how horrible it was.[5]
Known songs
- A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love[5]
- You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me[5]
- Beat Back Those Bludgers, Boys, and Chuck That Quaffle Here[4]
- You Stole My Cauldron but You Can't Have my Heart (album)[3]
Celestina possibly comes from the word celestial, meaning "pertaining to the sky or visible heaven." Warbeck may come from warbler, which is a singing bird.
Behind the scenes
- Madam Warbeck usually performs with a chourus of banshees.[3]
- Celestina's latest album was entitled You Stole My Cauldron but You Can't Have my Heart. The promotional tour included a show in Liverpool; fans desperate to arrive at this concert were involved in a three-broom crash.[3]
- Warbeck scheduled concerts in Exmoor, sponsored by The Sorcerer's Saucepot. Tickets were on sale for five Galleons each, and fans had to book their Portkeys early.[6]

The plan comes two years after Maine lawmakers pass legislation aimed at addressing the state's increasing number of people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Maine officials today unveiled the state's first-ever plan to manage Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The multi-agency plan follows legislation passed two years ago as a way to address the age-related diseases that currently afflict 37,000 Mainers.
"We are expected to have more than 53,000 individuals in Maine living with the disease by just 2020," says Jessica James from the Maine Alzheimer's Association.
James says that with Maine's burgeoning elder population, the state plan is a good first step toward raising awareness about different kinds of dementia, as well as creating better support plans for families and caregivers.

(Sports Network) - C.J. Miles put forth a great effort over the weekend, but
couldn't help the Cleveland Cavaliers close out December with a much-needed
The Cavs aim to avoid a third straight setback on Wednesday night when they
welcome the Sacramento Kings to town.
Miles became the first player in Cleveland team history to make eight 3-
pointers off the bench in Saturday's 103-100 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The
eight shots made from behind the arc also matched a club high and he ended
with a season-best 33 points.
"The game slows down and the basket seems as big as the arena," Miles said of
his effort from 3-point range. "I tried to make sure I got good looks at the
basket to set up a good shot. I did not want to rush and take wild shots. I
just made sure I stayed into what we were doing as a team. My teammates looked
for me and screened for me."
Tristan Thompson added a double-double with 17 points and 15 rebounds, but
Kyrie Irving had just 13 points on 5-of-16 shooting while also missing a
potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer.
That capped a 3-13 month for Cleveland.
"We're playing hard, but there are some growing pains as we're learning how to
play. We got off to a slow start, which really didn't help the cause," said
Miles, who has scored in double figures in 12 of his last 14 games and is
averaging 15.4 points per contest in that span.
Miles should continue to see more minutes with guard Daniel Gibson out with a
concussion. Forward Anderson Varejao also missed his sixth straight game with
a right knee contusion and is may not be ready to return Wednesday night
According to head coach Byron Scott, Varejao only participated in 50 percent
for practice with no contact.
"He looked decent today," Scott said of Varejao on Monday. "He was moving
okay. He still says when he plants to jump is when he feels the pain, but it's
not as severe as it was four or five days ago. Obviously making big-time
progress, but we'll see how he feels (Tuesday)."
The Kings hope that the Cavs' struggles can help them land just their second
road victory of the season. Sacramento lost its seventh straight as the guest
when it dropped a 103-97 decision at Detroit on Tuesday night in the opener of
a four-game swing.
Jimmer Fredette hit a 3-pointer that cut a once 16-point deficit in the fourth
quarter to just one, but the Kings couldn't get the final push and fell to
1-13 on the road this season.
"It's tough to win away from home for us right now," said Fredette, who had 14
points off the bench. "You know, we slipped tonight but we have to get back
together and come out for tomorrow's game."
DeMarcus Cousins scored 21 points and pulled down 14 rebounds, while Jason
Thompson scored 16 points and nabbed six boards.
The Kings did drop a close 93-92 test in their lone meeting with the Cavaliers
last season. That took place in Cleveland and saw Irving cap a 23-point
performance with a pair of clutch free throws with 0.4 seconds left.
Isaiah Thomas had 23 points, eight boards and 11 assists for the Kings, who
have lost 10 of their last 11 versus the Cavs overall and five of their past
six trips to Cleveland.

Cool - will follow this and make a CWBP map with the zoom if it works out.
Hi guys. I'm a ridiculously horrible artists, but I am a pretty decent web developer. So, I'm going to write up a tutorial on how to make your maps explorable with the Google Maps API. You can see a working example on my website. As I learn more about creating more advanced maps, etc I'll update this thread. Without further ado, let's jump right in and get started.
Your Map
Your map should be pretty big and it needs to have a height and width in pixels that are divisible by 256. I personally created a map that was 3072 x 3072 and it works pretty well. However; the bigger the better. At 100% the map should be clear and of good quality or it will look pretty crappy when zoomed in. If you've ever used Google Maps, and I know you all have, you know that there are zoom levels that you can control. For what I know so far, the map will be a 256 x 256 pixel image at zoom 0. At zoom 1 it will be a 2 x 2 matrix of 256 x 256 pixel images. Basically, for every zoom level the map will consist of 2*(2^zoom) 256 pixel images. I'm working with other tile makers, including a command line one that will automatically cut up an uploaded map, but so far the following one works best for what I've been doing:
Tiles Generator
It's a windows app, so sorry if you have a Mac or use Linux. I'll find other options eventually as I play around more. To split your map you run it like so:
TilesGenerator.exe [maxzoom] [filename]
It will go to work creating all of the necessary tiles from zoom levels 0 through whatever zoom level you specified for [maxzoom]. Remember, if your map is 3072 x 3072 like mine and you specify a [maxzoom] of 4 you will end up with a fully zoomed image that is 4096 x 4096 (256*(2^4)). So, a 4096 x 4096 image would actually be perfect for a map with a [maxzoom] of 4. A smaller map will end up stretching the tiles and become distorted. How much it distorts depends on the size difference and the quality of the image of course.
The command line app will create an "output" directory with images named something like tile_0_0-0.png. Basically, tile_[zoom]_[x]-[y].png. You'll need to upload all of those images to a directory on a web server if you're going to use them via the Google Maps API.
The Code
I put up a basic page with only what's required for the map here. I documented the **** out of it so it should be pretty self explanatory. You could literally copy and paste the source of that page, change the path to your map tiles, modify or remove the marker information, and have everything work out pretty well. Depending on the size of the map you might need to tweak the min and max zoom levels, but that's pretty much it.
Here's is the HTML and javascript code with comments (let me know if you have any questions):
P.S. Ya'll should really be using Chrome

I only see a grey space, on your website, with firefox, that is wrong I guess?
Same for me, with Opera.
I can't see anything.!!!

Old map and Historic map
With IE9, I see a mostly off-white map. If I zoom in two mousewheel clicks, I can see two markers. I don't know if it's missing map data, or just a demonstration of how to do markers at varying levels. The JavaScript of the site is interesting in how it handles the markers, though. One of these years I need to get that sort of functionality working for my own projects.
Hmm. It's running on a micro instance at Amazon AWS. Sometimes those things get loaded down and don't perform too well. If you refresh it should hopefully load the tiles of the map.
Edit: IE issues and issues with map tiles loading should be resolved. IE was affected by some bootstrap CSS that I needed to override. Other tile loading issues I believe were related to CloudFlare CDN / caching stuff.

This sounds really interesting.
O-hell, this is nice, gonna try to use it for my encyclopedia.
Though is it possible and if so how can I make the map window on website bigger? On 1920px resolution it looks just a little too small.
