Tobirama Senju (千手扉間, Senju Tobirama) was the Second Hokage (二代目火影, Nidaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Second Fire Shadow) of Konohagakure. He hails from the Senju clan, who, along with the Uchiha clan, founded the first shinobi village: Konoha. During his reign, Tobirama was accredited as the Hokage that developed the village's organisational system as well as some of its infrastructure.[3]
Tobirama was a member of the Senju clan along with his brother Hashirama — who was the leader of the clan. Decades before the start of the series, Hashirama struck a peace treaty with the Uchiha and its then-leader Madara Uchiha and together the two clans created Konohagakure.[5]
When Hashirama, who was appointed the First Hokage, died, Tobirama was appointed as the Second Hokage.[6] During his reign he was primarily responsible for establishing Konoha's organisational system. He established various organisations such as the Academy, the ANBU, the Chūnin Exams and the Konoha Military Police Force,[3] the latter of which he appeared to created as a sign of trust towards the Uchiha who made up the majority of that organisation. The Uchiha would come to believe that this was just an elaborate way to ostracise them from the village, and its government.[7]
At some point during his era, he and the Second Raikage met to form a formal alliance between Kumogakure and Konohagakure; however, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Kumo's Gold and Silver Brothers, attempted a coup d'etat against the Second Raikage and left Tobirama near death during the fiasco.[8]
He also trained a three-man team of his own, which consisted of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.[9] On one mission during the First Shinobi World War, on which Team Tobirama performed with Danzō Shimura, Kagami Uchiha and Torifu Akimichi, they found themselves surrounded by twenty elite Kumo ninja known as the Kinkaku Force. Tobirama then realised that the only way any of them could escape alive was for one of them to be a decoy and sacrifice themselves; therefore having faith that he had trained his students well, he chose to sacrifice himself after he selected his prized student Hiruzen for the position of Third Hokage. Homura and Koharu would later become Hiruzen's advisers. After giving the title of Hokage to Hiruzen, Tobirama went off to fight the enemies where he died a noble death.[10]
Tobirama took great pride in his abilities. Like his brother, Tobirama felt a great deal of loyalty to the village, and placed its well-being above all else. Tobirama was also described as being strong-spirited, and passionate.[3]
More straight-laced than his exuberant brother, Tobirama was a realist who took things and people for what and who they were. This was displayed during the First Shinobi World War when he and his small battalion were surrounded by the Kinkaku Squad, Tobirama realised the only way out for his subordinates, and acted accordingly.[10] This was also displayed in his attitude towards the Uchiha whom he believed were almost all intrinsically cursed, based on his knowledge of them, as well as his own personal interactions with them.[11] Between him and his brother, Tobirama had the more assertive personality, easily being able to talk down his older brother who would sulk and obey his commands.[12] Tobirama also cares greatly for the village and, while holding no real love nor loyalty towards the Uchiha, Tobirama valued peace and balance and tried in his own way to help the Uchiha from falling prey to their own unknown curse by placing them in charge of the Konoha Military Police Force, so that history would not repeat itself and create another person like Madara Uchiha.[13]
Tobirama was a tall, fair-skinned man with white, shaggy hair, red eyes and three red markings on his face — two under his eyes and one on his chin. In most cases, his attire took the form of the standard shinobi dress of his era, consisting of blue traditional armour — similar to that of samurai — albeit featuring a distinctive white fur collar, worn over a simple black suit. This armour was constructed from numerous metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body, in particular: chest, waist, shoulders and upper arms. This clothing was accompanied by sandals and a happuri engraved with the Konoha emblem, in the place of the more traditional forehead protector. Beneath his shoulder armour he wore two bands on each arm. Though the purpose of these are not known, merely touching one of them was enough for his brother to forcefully tell him to lower his hand.[14]
Outside of this outfit, Tobirama wore a simple, short-sleeved, blue shirt kimono with mesh armour underneath and held closed by a pale yellow sash, as well as blue pants and a bracelet of sorts on his left hand.
As the Second Hokage, Tobirama was undoubtedly an immensely powerful shinobi and was hailed as one of the most powerful shinobi of his era.[15] During his lifetime, Tobirama created the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation technique;[16] however, some time after its creation he labelled it as a kinjutsu.[17] Though he did gain renown with this technique that those who were reincarnated with the technique immediately thought it was Tobirama's doing.[18][19] According to Minato Namikaze, Tobirama was also able to use Space–Time Ninjutsu.[20] Tobirama has displayed a high amount of skill in the area of taijutsu, as well as good teamwork with his elder brother, Hashirama Senju. He was able to crack a wall by simply placing his hand on it.[21]
In the anime, it was shown that he was also a powerful genjutsu user, able to shroud the area in darkness that even the Third Hokage couldn't dispel.[22] It was said that he wielded the Sword of the Thunder God, a blade with electrical abilities, and was said to have mastered its use despite the blade's lethal nature.[23]
Aside from his battle prowess, Tobirama was also a very gifted sensor ninja. By simply touching the ground with his index finger, he could detect the presence and number of enemy shinobi.[24] He was also able to detect Madara Uchiha's chakra on the battlefield some ways off.[25] His sensory skills were such, that he was also able to determine how Orochimaru's new body was made almost entirely from Hashirama's cells.[26]
Nature Transformation
Tobirama was primarily known for his mastery of Water Release. He could perform powerful water-style techniques in areas that lacked bodies of water by creating his own water out of thin air or spewing it from his mouth, and perform some of the most complex water-style techniques, such as the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, with a single hand seal. This among other reasons is why he is revered as the greatest known Water Release manipulator in the series.[27]
In the anime, it is also shown that he can use the Water Release: Water Colliding Wave to attack and cover a large area with water. In areas with water, he can move underwater and stay for a considerable amount of time. Underwater, he can use jets of water to bring his target to him and after restrain them for trying to drown them or launch powerful missiles of water which can even pierce rocks.[28]
Part I
Invasion of Konoha Arc
Both he and Hashirama were reincarnated by Orochimaru, using Impure World Reincarnation, to fight Hiruzen during the invasion of Konoha, although it is later revealed that due to Orochimaru's lack of mastery of this technique Hashirama and Tobirama were not reincarnated with their full powers. While fully aware of what was going on, and saddened that he would have to fight his former student, Orochimaru employed a special seal into the back of their heads to rob Tobirama and his brother of their free will. Hiruzen quickly resolved to kill his masters and used a very powerful fire technique that was easily countered by one of Tobirama's walls of water that was then turned into an attack that was stopped by Hiruzen's own earth wall.
During the battle, he demonstrated great teamwork and combination attacks with his brother, forcing Hiruzen to summon Enma for assistance. Hiruzen was however in his old age unable to defeat the two Hokage, as any damage that was done was simply regenerated and was further inhibited by his desire to not hurt either. His soul, along with his brother's, was eventually sealed by Hiruzen when he combined the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and the Shadow Clone Technique to strike both of them at the same time. Before his soul was completely removed, he and his brother apologised to their former student for the trouble they had caused.[29]
Part II
Shinobi World War Arc
In Sasuke Uchiha's quest to learn the truth, Tobirama's soul was later freed from inside the Shinigami, and subsequently reincarnated by Orochimaru along with his brother, and his two successors: Hiruzen and Minato using Zetsu's spore clones as sacrifices.
Cursing Orochimaru initially, Tobirama and his brother listened on as Hiruzen and Minato explained what had happened. With his arms still crossed, Tobirama looked down the line with his brother at the Yellow Flash questioning who he was, before promptly being shown the haori emblazoned with the title of Fourth Hokage. Not one to side-swept, Tobirama questioned the ease of use Orochimaru displayed with the technique he had invented only to be told the technique was not a hard one to learn but one which should have never been created. Orochimaru's response led Tobirama to accuse the Sannin of planning to attack the village once again sending Hiruzen into outrage. Later admonishing his brother to be quiet as he spoke, Tobirama later chided the Uchiha clan openly to which Orochimaru contracted that it was Tobirama's fault it happened first place as he gave the Uchiha the Konoha Military Police Force to run and essentially ostracised the Uchiha. Rebuffing this, Tobirama explained the Uchiha clan's greatest curse: the fact that they had a greater love than any other person which if lost would turn into bottomless feelings of despair awakening the Sharingan as a result. He then explained that it was for this reason that he gave them that post so they would have something to focus their emotions on so that the world would not end up with a second Madara, who had suffered the loss of his brother whom he loved more than anything, on their hands.
Upon hearing the question posed to his brother and the reason behind it, an enraged Tobirama tells Sasuke that he would not allow him to harm the village. Touching one of the bands on his arm, he and Hashirama had an intense stand-off, as his elder brother told him to lower his hands. Finally obliging as the Naka Shrine almost collapsed around them. Later told that Madara was on the battlefield, Tobirama sensed and confirmed this which lead him to declare that he was heading to the battlefield. Ignoring Orochimaru's threat to bind him further, Tobirama told the Sannin that his refining of the Impure World Reincarnation was to his own detriment as they had been reincarnated at nearly their full power in life. However, Orochimaru was able to stop Tobirama's movements thanks to having Hashirama's cells. Finally succumbing to his brother's wish to save Sasuke from the impending darkness. Tobirama listened on as Hashirama retold the history he had lived through.
Tobirama's legacy in the ninja world at large, is mixed. He was known for building Konoha's infrastructure and revolutionising the ninja system on a whole by establishing organisations such as the Academy and ANBU, institutions and organisations adopted by most if not all of the Five Great Shinobi Countries as well as smaller ones. He also believed greatly in the Will of Fire and putting the good of the village above all else, beliefs which he passed on to the next generation.
Somewhat conversely, Tobirama set up the Konoha Military Police Force and assigned the Uchiha to it as a sign of trust. He in fact knew how unwieldy the Uchiha's emotions were and sought to have them focus their efforts of a single, constant goal all the while protecting the village as well. This in reality, however, actually became part of the Uchiha's demise as some came to see it as a means to ostracise them from the rest of the village and its governance and eventually led to the Uchiha Clan Massacre. Tobirama was also responsible for the creation of the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation technique, which was used firstly by Orochimaru in his effort to destroy Konoha and later heavily relied on by Kabuto Yakushi during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Even though at the same time this had the reciprocal effect of having those that died with "unfinished business" as it were to settle them, the Fourth Kazekage and his son Gaara being prime examples. On a whole, Tobirama is still revered as a powerful shinobi and trail-blazing Hokage.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—A visit to the scene of New Jersey's devastating boardwalk fire by the newly crowned Miss America will have to wait.
The Miss America Organization told The Associated Press Sunday night that Nina Davuluri, who won the title Sunday night in Atlantic City, would head to Seaside Park and Seaside Heights Monday afternoon to support the reconstruction efforts.
But hours later, they canceled the visit after learning that Gov. Chris Christie was making cabinet officials available to business owners victimized by the fire at the same time Davuluri planned to visit.
She'll go sometime in the future.
More than four blocks of the iconic boardwalk were destroyed by a raging wind-whipped fire on Thursday.

Four suspects accused in the murder of a local sheriff's deputy have an appearance in court scheduled for this morning.
Lamont Byrd, Maretto Byrd, Devine Slade and Kion Dail are scheduled to appear in Lenoir County Court today. They face first-degree murder charges for the June murder of Nash County Deputy Warren "Sneak" Lewis in Kinston. Lewis was working as a U.S. Marshal to arrest suspects in the murder of Thomas Hinton when he was killed. Dail, Lamont Byrd, and an unnamed juvenile also face charges for Hinton's murder.
Dail's mother was arrested this week for accessory after the fact of murder.
The last two times the suspects were to appear, their case was continued. We'll let you know what happens today.

NNSA Sandia Field Office Manager Geoff Beausoleil hosted a visit to Sandia National Laboratories by Bernalillo County Commissioner Wayne Johnson on this week. Commissioner Johnson received briefings on technology transfer and commercialization, economic development, and environmental restoration including Sandia's groundwater protection programs. Following the meetings at Sandia's Science & Technology Park, the commissioner received a windshield tour of the Mixed Waste Landfill in Technical Area 3.
This week Neile Miller, Acting Administrator for NNSA, spoke to the elected leaders of the communities that host NNSA facilities at the Energy Communities Alliance annual meeting in D.C. Acting Administrator Miller thanked the communities for their support over the past year and indicated that their partnership is essential to helping NNSA execute its mission.
Acting Administrator Miller noted that in his FY14 budget request delivered to Congress this week, President Obama reaffirmed his commitment to leading the global effort to reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism, ensuring the safety of the American people, and guaranteeing that the United States' nuclear weapons stockpile remains safe, secure, and effective while it is still needed. His request includes $11.7 billion for NNSA, an increase of 1.6 percent over FY13.
She also provided insight into NNSA's priorities for the coming year emphasizing three core things NNSA will be focused on accomplishing in 2013.
First, as always, NNSA is keeping the American people safe, and our communities are the pillars that support our nuclear deterrent, nonproliferation, and counterterrorism efforts. Second, NNSA is also modernizing in every way, as many have probably seen with construction jobs, subcontractor support, and changes to the nature and scope of work at our facilities. And, finally, NNSA is holding our people - Federal employees and Management & Operating contractors - accountable. NNSA must do more with less, so we owe it to our communities and the American taxpayers to rethink and revise everywhere we can.
NNSA recognizes that our community partners have a great interest in how we communicate and engage on issues of mutual interest. NNSA is committed to operate in a manner that is open, proactive, responsive, and well-coordinated in managing relationships with state, local and tribal government stakeholders.
Nearly 100 Kansas City Plant employees and family members turned out to "rescue" Kansas City's Blue River last Saturday. The annual Blue River Rescue event successfully cleaned up approximately 100 tons of trash along its banks.
Each year the NNSA and Honeywell join hundreds of business and residential volunteers to help pick up trash and plant trees during the largest one-day stream clean-up in Missouri.
The effort calls on community volunteers to be environmental stewards of a 22-mile stretch of land that surrounds the waterway which flows near Kansas City Plant.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Director Parney Albright recently honored LLNL scientists and engineers who won six R&D 100 awards for 2012 at a reception at the Livermore Valley Open Campus.
LLNL served as the principal developer for four of the awards, while the other two were joint submissions with individual Laboratory researchers.
Before noting that the R&D 100 awards, often called the "Oscars of invention," are international awards, Albright said the lab performs amazing scientific and engineering feats every day and it's fantastic to receive unique external recognition like the R&D 100 awards.

The Nevada Field Office (NFO) and U.S. Air Force staff recently conducted inspections of a historic rocket located at Clean Slate III on the Tonopah Test Range. Clean Slate III, a plutonium dispersal test, was part of Operation Roller Coaster and was conducted on June 9, 1963. The origin of the rocket in the photo and the time frame when it was launched are unknown. Based on interviews with TTR personnel, however, the rocket has been present at the site since at least the mid-1980s.
This morning, the White House issued the below statement regarding NNSA's recent removal of the last remaining highly enriched uranium from the Czech Republic:
Statement by NSC Spokesperson Caitlin Hayden on the Removal of Highly Enriched Uranium from the Czech Republic
Today we can announce that the United States, with the cooperation of our international partners, successfully removed 68 kilograms of highly enriched uranium (HEU) – enough material for two nuclear weapons - from the Czech Republic. The HEU was securely transported to Russia, where it will be downblended into low enriched uranium (LEU) for use in nuclear power reactors. Unlike highly enriched uranium, low enriched uranium cannot be used to make a nuclear weapon. With this shipment, the Czech Republic becomes the tenth country from which all HEU has been removed since President Obama announced the international effort to secure all vulnerable nuclear material around the world.
This achievement comes on the anniversary of President Obama's remarks in Prague on April 5, 2009, where he stated that nuclear terrorism remains our greatest threat. The President called on the world to act with a sense of purpose and without delay to secure vulnerable nuclear material. The United States and the global community have responded with an unprecedented effort that has secured thousands of kilograms of HEU and plutonium, enough for dozens of nuclear weapons.
The removal of highly enriched uranium from the Czech Republic was the culmination of a multi-year effort by the United States' National Nuclear Security Administration, the Czech Republic's Nuclear Research Institute, Russia's Federal Atomic Energy Agency, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The United States is grateful to these partners and to the Czech and Russian governments for their outstanding cooperation.
Two senior leaders of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) today visited the Pantex Plant to tour the facility and deliver a message of support to the workers.
U.S. Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-Calif.) told an assembled group of Pantexans he was aware of the critical work done at Pantex through his role as the HASC chairman, but seeing it firsthand really made an impact.
McKeon traveled to Pantex with HASC vice chairman, U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, whose district includes the Pantex Plant. Thornberry talked about the challenging budget situation facing all levels of government and the importance of maintaining the capabilities of facilities like Pantex.
After taking questions from several Pantexans, the two congressmen concluded the all-hands meeting with a few final words of encouragement.
This weekend, Roadrunner, the World's Fastest Supercomputer from 2008, will be switched off but not be forgotten.
Without ceremony, the first supercomputer to reach the once elusive petaflop - one million billion calculations per second - a feat accomplished in 2008 by Roadrunner, an IBM system installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, will be decommissioned. Advancements made possible by Roadrunner have informed current computing architectures and will help shape future designs.
During its five operational years, Roadrunner, part of NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) program, was a workhorse system providing computing power for stewardship of the U.S. nuclear deterrent, and in its early days, a wide variety of unclassified science.

Measurements from two recent aerial flyovers to determine the presence of background and man-made radioactivity brought good news for Los Alamos County and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The radiological surveys, conducted in August 2011 and June 2012, found that radioisotopes and their associated exposure rates are consistent with those expected from normal background radiation.
The survey provided valuable data in several areas. First, the information updates a radiological survey conducted in 1994. Secondly, the survey showed the Las Conchas fire from 2011 did not impact background radiation levels. It also provides additional confirmation that the Rendija Canyon area remains at natural background radiation levels. There is an area north of Rendija Canyon under evaluation for return to public use.
The information will be incorporated into the lab's Long-Term Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability Strategy report.
A group of Pantex female engineers held a Smart Cookie workshop for Girl Scouts this weekend. The objective of the workshop was to foster a love of science and math in young girls who might make up the next generation of engineers at Pantex.
The Smart Cookie program started in January with a half dozen young women engineers from Pantex who decided to expose engineering to the next generation with a workshop for Girl Scouts. Since then, the number of women engineers who are involved in the project has doubled. Plans are underway to enlist experts from Pantex in math, science and information technology, for future events with the Girl Scouts.
About the photo:
Female engineers from Pantex this weekend demonstrated a scientific principle known as nucleation. The engineers used Mentos dropped into Diet Coke to demonstrate the principle. The surface texture of the Mentos causes the carbon dioxide to be explosively released.

StarKid Productions, also known as Team Starkid, is an American based theatre production company. They have produced several musicals, including A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel, both of which parody the Harry Potter series. A third instalment is currently in production, working around schedule conflicts with star Darren Criss, who is currently also working on Glee and the recently finished How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.[1]
A Very Potter Musical
A Very Potter Musical was performed at the University of Michigan from 9-11 April, 2009. It was subsequently posted to the video upload site YouTube in late June, where it obtained millions of hits, being considered on the of 10 Best Viral Videos of 2009 by Entertainment Weekly. Unfortunately, after its initial release on YouTube it had to be taken down due to copyright complaints. But luckily after much discussion it was re-uploaded. Fans have noticed that although the first part of the musical may have over 9 million views, these views tend to go down as the musical progresses. The final part of the musical (Act 2 part 9) has only received 1.7 million views, although this is still an exceptional amount of views.
A Very Potter Sequel
A Very Potter Sequel was performed at the University of Michigan from 14-16 May, 2010. A video of it was shown at the Harry Potter convention Infinitus, and was later uploaded to YouTube on 22 July. Within the first day of its upload, it achieved 160,000 views. The first part of this musical currently has over 2.5 million views, but like its predecessor, the views tend to go down as the musical progresses, the final part (Act 2 part 14) only having just over 1 million views.

Dax, Chief O'Brien and Worf discuss the trip that Bashir, Kira and Keiko are on in the Gamma Quadrant. In the bar, Quark treats Rom to a glass of snail juice, to celebrate his return from Ferenginar and to announce that he is dying.
Act One
Quark declares he has Dorek Syndrome with just six days to live. To raise money to repay his debts he puts his vacuum-desiccated remains on the Ferengi Futures Exchange.
The runabout with Bashir, Kira and O'Brien, Keiko returns from the Gamma Quadrant and is visibly damaged. O'Brien learns that Keiko was injured in an accident in the Gamma Quadrant and Bashir had to move the baby to Kira to save its life and that due to the short gestation period of Bajorans, Kira must carry the baby to term.
Act Two
At first, it seems no one but Rom wants to buy a piece of Quark. However, Quark is overjoyed to find that an anonymous bidder wants to buy all 52 discs for 500 bars of latinum. Convinced the anonymous bidder is The Nagus and fearful that the bid will be retracted, Quark accepts the bid and sells his remains.
O'Brien is helping Keiko to recover in her quarters when Keiko expresses frustration at having to make appointments to see her own child. Keiko and O'Brien do not know what to do about the situation.
Quark begins to arrange paying off his debts and arranging his funeral when Bashir informs him that his doctor on Ferenginar had made an error and he is not going to die. Quark is excited about the prospect of suing his doctor, but when his anonymous buyer shows up to collect his purchase, Quark finds it was Brunt.
Act Three
Brunt tells Quark that he considers him a menace to Ferengi society. Ferengi law obligates Ferengi to honor all contracts, so Quark is plagued with the prospect of killing himself.
Kira visits Keiko and O'Brien to show them how much the baby is kicking. They invite her to remain for dinner and initially Kira does not want to impose. But Keiko insists that since Kira is carrying her baby she is now family and that besides dinner, the O'Brien's also want to make a proposal.
Quark visits Garak's shop in order to hire him as an assassin. Rom initially believes that Quark will have Brunt assassinated, but Quark reveals he wants to be killed by Garak in order to hold up his end of the contract. Garak agrees after denying at first that he ever did such work.
Act Four
However, while running through simulations of how Quark is to be assassinated they argue about how it is to be done (Breaking his neck made too much noise, he couldn't be disintegrated because he needed his body, the disruptor ruined Quark's clothing, the knife was too savage, nerve gas smelled bad, hanging took too long and Quark would not willingly eat poisoned food), and come to the arrangement that it is to be a surprise.
A jittery Quark heads to bed while trying to stave off death by yelling he won't be surprised before he enters his room. He quickly falls asleep and awakes in what looks like the Divine Treasury.
Act Five
The first Grand Nagus (who looks suspiciously similar to Quark's brother Rom) comes to him and Quark realizes that he is dreaming. The Nagus (or at least Quark's conscience) tells Quark that when he authored the Rules of Acquisition, he called them such as a marketing ploy, and considers them more like "suggestions". Brunt then appears in a vision, and the three of them argue until Brunt begins strangling Quark, who wakes up in his sleep with his own hands around his throat.
The next day Quark refuses to honor the contract and Brunt smiles, as Quark has proved himself to be just another failure in a long line of weak-lobed Ferengi. However, Quark threatens that if he ever returns to his bar, he will never leave. Brunt immediately revokes Quark's business license, and slaps legal documents on the walls preventing any Ferengi business to continue and seizes all of his assets. Quark is left with no other choice but to close the bar immediately and indefinitely, and is forced to ask his customers to leave.
Kira arrives at the O'Briens' quarters where she has agreed to live for the duration of the pregnancy. Kira tells Molly O'Brien that she is her aunt Kira and that Molly is welcome to play in her room anytime.
Quark sits in the bare area on the Promenade where his bar used to be, having been left with nothing, not even the shirt on his back which needs to be returned later. Rom tries to cheer him up by offering Quark some of his old clothes, but to no avail. However Julian enters with a crate of drinks, claiming that a patient gave them to him as a gift, and, as he cannot accept them, he is willing to give them to Quark. Then Jadzia arrives with a dozen glasses she was given as a gift by her sister that she claims are too ugly to keep. Then Captain Sisko arrives and asks Quark if he can store several sets of tables and chairs from structural repair on level 2 of the habitat ring in the area, since it's currently free. Quark can scarcely believe what is happening, as the crew and residents start bringing in everything he needs to continue the bar. Rom reminds his brother that Brunt didn't take all of his assets away, as Quark has apparently earned the loyalty and respect of many aboard the station. Despite bring broke, Quark is left to ponder the thought that friends may be the most valuable asset of all.

Background Information
Story and script
- According to writer Hans Beimler there is a political metaphor behind Brunt's somewhat irrational hatred of Quark; "Quark grates Brunt because Quark has been able to do things that Brunt doesn't think of as pure or quite right. It's the way certain people view expatriate Americans who may have traveled and had a different life experience. They say, 'How could you leave America?' So he spent fifty-five years in Africa, that doesn't mean he stopped being an American, he's just an American experiencing another life. And that's what Quark is. He's gone out of the Ferengi world, but it doesn't mean he's stopped being a Ferengi." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The O'Brien baby "transplant" storyline was created as a solution to the production problem of actress Nana Visitor becoming pregnant in real life. The producers decided that they did not wish to go down either of the two other solutions open to them; either having the character of Kira become pregnant by Shakaar, or 'hiding' the pregnancy by shooting Visitor in such a way as to never reveal her midsection, as had been done during the fourth season of The Next Generation with the character of Beverly Crusher and would be done again in most of the fourth season of Voyager with B'Elanna Torres. As such, the producers, thanks to the suggestion of Ira Steven Behr's wife, Laura Behr, came up with the idea to tie in Visitor's real pregnancy with the character Keiko O'Brien's fictional pregnancy. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The idea of the transplant storyline was popular with both of the real parents to be: Nana Visitor and Alexander Siddig. According to Siddig, "Teleporting the baby was a great idea." Visitor is more vocal; "Suddenly my baby was part of the plot! I was very grateful that they thought of such a clever way to allow me to be pregnant on the show and not just be filmed from the neck up, which would have really limited everything I could do. I'm hugely grateful for that." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- From this episode onwards, Andrew Robinson (who plays Garak) would be credited as 'Andrew J. Robinson'. According to Robinson, the J stands for Jordt - his grandfather's first name. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Both the writers and actor Armin Shimerman consider this to be a very important episode in terms of Quark's character. According to René Echevarria, "We really dug down to find what this episode was about, and in the process, we managed to find out who Quark is, and how Ferengi he is." Similarly, Hans Beimler says, "The substance is that Quark has a line that we will not cross. He has a very clear ethical code and lives by it. This is comedy, but it deals with some very serious business. Quark is a very complicated guy with a lot of complicated issues. He's not just a silly Ferengi. The more you explore the character, the more you see that he's very sophisticated and complex." Shimerman concurs, "Quark had always believed he's an outsider on the space station, and that the only thing that's his own are his Ferengi ways. He believes in the Ferenginess of himself. So to give that up – because a contract is a contract is a contract – is a major moral dilemma." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Jeffrey Combs commented "["Body Parts"] was a lot of fun, probably the best Brunt episode" and that "I love the scene where I insist, despite the fact that Quark is not going to die, that he fulfill the contract. That first scene where I show up in Quark's quarters was just so much fun to do. I loved that moment. It was such a delicious moment". (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine Vol. 21, p. 17 & p. 20)
- The FCA notice placed on the wall by Liquidator Brunt at the end of this episode would remain in place until the fifth season episode "Ferengi Love Songs", at which time Quark has his license restored by Brunt.
- Brunt's references to Quark's mother and his union troubles refer to the episodes "Family Business" and "Bar Association" respectively.
- Rom recalls to Quark the latter's brief holding of the title of 'Grand Nagus' - a reference to the first season episode "The Nagus".
- Referenced Rules of Acquisition: #17 ("A contract is a contract is a contract... but only between Ferengi") and #239 ("Never be afraid to mislabel a product")
- This episode also introduces a new runabout, the USS Volga. The episode "By Inferno's Light" later makes it clear that this is not a replacement for one of the other three runabouts, but a fourth runabout (three runabouts are used in the defense of DS9 while another was in the Gamma Quadrant. The others would have been the Rio Grande, Rubicon and Yukon).
- The on-screen scene of the damaged Volga would later be used to depict the damaged Rio Grande in "Apocalypse Rising".
- Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) does not appear in this episode.

Teams We Hate
Duke, Eric Devendorf, and five more odious things about this year's NCAA Tournament.
Also in Slate, Chris Wilson explains a system that will help you win your NCAA pool, and Bill James describes his personal method for calculating when a lead is safe in a college basketball game.
For the first time in nearly three decades, roundball curmudgeon Billy Packer will not be on CBS complaining about the quality of play in the Final Four. Without Packer around to slag on the Missouri Valley Conference and overpraise the ACC—and to say other things one should never utter around a live mike—you might think that this year's NCAA Tournament would be nothing but sweetness and light. You couldn't be more wrong. Once again, Sports Nut is your guide to everything evil in college hoops. While in years past we've restricted the hate to America's basketball-playing universities, this year's suspects include an individual player, a Packer heir, and a bracketologist. But don't worry: There's always room for Duke.
Duke University
Compared with past Duke teams, the 2009 model isn't particularly deplorable. With point guard and assistant-coach-in-waiting Greg Paulus getting an early start on his bench-sitting career, this squad fails to fulfill the most-irksome Blue Devil trait: the cultivation of underachievers who comport themselves like overachievers. Indeed, Duke got off to a strong start after coach/ American hero/ ethicist Mike Krzyzewski disowned the school's floor-slapping legacy, benching the runty Paulus for talented sophomore Nolan Smith. And after a midseason slump in which the Devils lost three of four games, the team found its mojo by rebenching Paulus—who had somehow wormed his way back into the lineup—in favor of freshman Elliot Williams.
While reasonable fans might wonder why Williams, a reigning McDonald's All-American, wasn't seeing more time to begin with, Krzyzewski got credit for unearthing a diamond in the rough. "He's been really good in practice and always has a good attitude," Coach K explained. This, of course, is the Duke way—basketball as leadership seminar, where winning is an outgrowth of "a good attitude" rather than the simple act of replacing a substandard basketball player with one who's capable of passing, shooting, playing defense, and dribbling. Actually, strike that last one—at Duke, dribbling is always optional.
Jim Calhoun
After securing his 800th career victory last month, Connecticut's Jim Calhoun explained his philosophy of coaching. "Any day that I sat down on a kid and didn't really push them, and then loved them as much as I possibly could and backed them, then I'm not really doing my job," he said. "That's the only way they're going to give you the type of performance they gave me tonight." A decent man credits others on the occasion of personal success. Jim Calhoun discusses his players like a jockey talks about his mounts.
Big-time college basketball coaches aren't sympathetic creatures, but Calhoun's classlessness and self-aggrandizing bring shame to a shameless profession. Another recent lowlight came when Calhoun shouted down a writer—"My best advice to you: Shut up"—who questioned his high salary during a time of economic hardship. The coach isn't an AIG executive, and he should get some leeway for his brusqueness, because he was ambushed at a postgame press conference. (Let's also assume Calhoun didn't understand that he was confusing revenue with net profit when he yelled that his program "bring[s] in $12 million [a year] to this university.") But even days later, when he had a chance to say he could have handled things better, Calhoun instead chose to call attention to all the charity work he does.
Leave aside the fact that the Big East legend coddles felony-committing stars and takes away the scholarships of kids who fail to live up to expectations—so do a lot of other coaches. What sets him apart from his peers is his misplaced self-regard. Somewhere along the line, it wasn't good enough for Calhoun to have built a hoops dynasty at a very unlikely school. Instead, he feels compelled to turn his life story into a fantasy in which Connecticut, if not America, is saved by a coaching messiah.
North Dakota State University
Believe it or not, the North Dakota State Bison have a shot at beating defending champion Kansas. Point guard Ben Woodside, who scored 60 points in a game earlier this season, will put up enough points to keep things close. And since the game is being played in nearby Minneapolis—where 30,000 North Dakotans traveled to watch the school's football team beat Minnesota in 2007—NDSU is guaranteed to have the home-court advantage in the final minutes.
So what's to hate about the plucky Bison? They're a bunch of old men. Way back in 2004, the North Dakota State coaching staff redshirted Woodside and three other incoming freshmen with an eye toward 2009, NDSU's first year of tourney eligibility after transitioning into Division I play; the five-year plan worked perfectly, as the quartet of now-23-year-olds just won a Summit League title. Running an extended-stay university isn't quite cheating, but it is a bit devious for a team that's being portrayed as a bunch of aw-shucking upstarts. The Bison aren't modern-day versions of Jimmy, Ollie, Buddy, and the rest of those underdeveloped upstarts from Hickory High. Rather, they're the Van Wilders of the NCAA Tournament: elderly undergrads delaying passage to the real world for as long as possible. Beat Kansas in the first round, and they can wait a little longer.
Eric Devendorf
Three years ago, Robert Weintraub wrote a piece for Slate on college basketball's "Annoying White Guys"—those players, often coaches' sons, who irritatingly scrap their way into our living rooms every March. At the end of his essay, which focused on Syracuse's Gerry McNamara, Weintraub nominated fellow Orange guard Eric Devendorf as the NCAA's next-gen Annoying White Guy. Never has a better prediction been made.
One might normally feel pangs of guilt for rooting against college kids—I was just kidding, North Dakota State!—but Devendorf isn't merely annoying. In December, he was suspended from school for assaulting a female student while on probation for "harming" a different Syracuse student. In a Calhoun-esque move, Coach Jim Boeheim let Devendorf suit up while the case was under appeal, and the suspension was later reduced. In the end, he sat out only two games.
Upon his return to the court, the shooting guard played with the joylessness and hostility of a schoolyard bully. Actually, more like the schoolyard bully's yappy best friend. In the Big East Tournament, Devendorf repeatedly talked trash to opposing defenders after his teammates found him for wide-open jumpers. It was like watching John Paxson pop his jersey. Let's make a deal, big guy: You can start woofing the next time you create your own shot.

Sorry no funny business in this weekend's column. I suspect I lost some Facebook friends this week. Last weekend's events on social media set of an interesting chain of events. More specifically Facebook. Facebook is now a meeting place for most of us at some point during the week, but last weekend, I was absolutely appalled at what I read. While there were only a handful of people saying these things, I could not believe parents in our community would log onto the social media website to be "critical" of Amanda Todd. Amanda is the 15 year old girl who died last Wednesday after being cyber-bullied, and allegedly taking her own life. At the beginning of September, Amanda posted a nine-minute video on YouTube, where she is holding up hand-written notes to explain what happened after she exposed herself on a webcam to an unidentified man. The pictures ended up being sent to family and friends, and she described how she suffered anxiety, depression and tried to attempt suicide twice. The video ends with her note: "I have nobody. I need someone."
The video touched a nerve. Like the homeless guy with the deep voice, Susan Boyle, the bullied school bus chaperone, media from around the world picked up the story. This has obviously bothered some people. Online memoriams and facebook pages built to tell her story, and fight the cause of bullying, simply invited more strangers to... bully some more. Monday RCMP asked the public to stop posting inappropriate and hurtful comments and images online that continue to re-victimize the Todd family and others. He said police are even getting complaints from young girls and adults because of those images. Not only are the comments that are critical of Amanda coming from across the country, but some came from parents right here in Westman. They ranged from parents questioning "the whole story" to some saying "her promiscuity and actions left her open to criticism." Effectively saying this outcome was somehow deserved, all the while saying "I don't want to say she deserved this but..."

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- A Rockford legend was laid to rest today.
Dozens of friends and family members gather to remember Vie Carlson. Chances are you probably saw her around town, knitting at the Riverhawks games or playing piano at Anderson Gardens.
If you haven't heard of Vie, you probably know two of her sons. Cheap trick drummer, Bun E Carlos and former Riverhawks owner Kurt Carlson. Carlson died late last month of pancreatic cancer at the age of 87.

Remember that steamy scene from the first Sex and the City movie where a depressed Samantha watches rapt from her balcony, mouth stuffed with guacamole, as her lothario next-door neighbor frolics on the beach with his paramour du jour? Or the one where she lies immobile on her kitchen table, covered in sushi? For a pretty penny, you can rent the Malibu mansion where it all unfolded.
Image via Coldwell Banker
The three-level mansion–turned–movie set is available for monthly rental fees of $55,000 or $100,000, depending on time frame. Wondering what that hefty price tag will get you? Multiple balconies, a chef's kitchen, a wine cellar, maid's quarters, a two-car garage, a stunning stretch of beachfront, and a little claim to fame, for starters. Nightly antics not included.
Want to play Samantha for the summer? See the official listing here.

Hi, new to the site. Live in New Jersey, been here all my life. Recently got my Firearms ID and handgun permit. Besides 4 years I spent in the Marine Corps I have not found the need to own or fire a handgun. I fired many rounds through a Colt 45 and a Beretta 9MM as the Marines were making the transition from one to the other while I was in.
Long story short is, My 14 Year old son has shown an interest in learning about and firing guns. Now I know all about the short attention span of teenagers so, I signed us up for lessons and some range time with an NRA certified instructor and the boy was completely jacked up about firing the instructor's handguns (it brought back some good memories of my own as well).
So, here I am on your forum, going to do some searches and ask plenty of questions. I have 90 days to make my first purchase and I hope to get to talk to some of you in that period. Thanks for having me.
Welcome to the site, and congrats on making the connection with your son.

|Poké Ball
|First Appearance:
|Generation I
|Catch Rate:
The Poké Ball (モンスターボール Monster Ball) features a red top, white bottom, and a horizontal black ring circling the ball. This type of Poké Ball is the weakest and the only type typically available at the beginning of the Pokémon games. It is also commonly used in Pokémon Anime. It has a catch rate modifier of 1X, in the catch formula. Many Pokémon have a similar appearance, like Voltorb, Electrode and a few in the Unova region.
- It is the most basic and common Poké Ball.
- It is freely available at the start of most Pokémon games.
- It has been known to be strangely very effective on legendaary pokemon, having and average of about 2.5 (insert word meaning that wiggling thing before click) rather than Ultra Ball's 0.5.

DECATUR, Ga. -- DeKalb County is taking another step to spur developers and potential homeowners to clean up neighborhoods. It's speeding up the permitting process and reducing permit fees for homes that were nearly completed but abandoned by builders, when the economy went sour.
"We're trying to make the houses that are within reach easy to acquire and rehabilitate," said DeKalb County Spokesperson, Burke Brennan.
He walked with us through a rundown neighborhood in Scottdale, pointing out houses that could qualify for the program.
The plan is to reduce building permit fees by 75% and get the approval process cut down to a week.
"Consolidate it. Have one guy come out. Sign off what's acceptable, what's not acceptable, for one fee and that'd be at about a 75% discount," Brennan said.
To find out more contact the DeKalb Planning and Sustainability Department.

The majority of offensive linemen the Sooners sign year in and year out are of the states of Texas and Oklahoma. The Sooners have had plenty of success outside of those states as well and it appears they could have a punchers chance with Ross Pierschbacher out of Cedar Falls, Iowa. The 6-foot-4 and 275-pound 2014 offensive tackle recently picked up an offer from the Sooners about a week ago.
Oklahoma appears to have a little bit of help on their side in this race with offensive tackles coach, Bruce Kittle, having gone to the same high school and having been on the coaching staff just a few years ago as well.
"Coach Kittle is from Cedar Falls, which is where I am from and graduated from the same high school. So him and my head coach, who has been coaching for 50-years or something like that, he called my coach and said that they were going to offer me and to give him a call that night. So I gave him a call that night and he assured the offer and talked about their plan for me," Pierschbacher stated. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Skeletal remains found last summer beside New Design Road are those of a Virginia man who disappeared 19 months ago under suspicious circumstances.
Oscar Velasco Montano, 29, of Springfield, was last seen July 9, 2011, by a co- worker at his construction job at Tysons Corner Center, a shopping mall in McLean. His family reported him missing two days later.
Fairfax County Police are investigating the case as a homicide, according to Capt. Tim Clarke, of the Frederick County Sheriff's Office.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore has ruled Montano's death a homicide, spokesman Bruce Goldfarb said. Goldfarb said he could not reveal the cause of death.
A tree-trimming crew found the bones Aug. 8 in the woods 10 to 15 yards in the 4100 block of New Design Road. The spot is across the road from a farmer's field and just a few hundred yards from a small row of houses.
The remains were charred, and deputies found evidence of a fire nearby, according to the sheriff's office. Investigators believe animals scattered the bones around the immediate area.
Fairfax County Police contacted the sheriff's office after information about the discovery was released to law enforcement agencies across the region, Clarke said.
"They called us and said they were working on a missing persons case they believed was a homicide," Clarke said.
Montano was identified through DNA testing, Clarke said.
A wooden cross bearing Montano's name and several bouquets of flowers had been set near the spot where the bones were found. Sheriff's deputies removed the cross Thursday.
Fairfax County Police planned to take action in the case Thursday evening and thought premature public identification would undermine their efforts, Clarke said.
According to a Facebook page set up by Montano's family and friends called "Help Find Oscar L. Velasco Montano," Montano, a native of Bolivia, told his supervisor he was going out with friends after work on the day he disappeared.
Montano's sister found his minivan at the mall July 10, 2011, but it was gone when she went back the next day, according to the page.
The page made no specific mention of where Montano's remains were found; one post by a commenter indicated that his body was found in a field. A Dec. 27 post in Spanish stated that the family had been told of his death but made no mention of the circumstances.
Officer Don Gotthardt, Fairfax County Police spokesman, said police would not comment on Montano's disappearance and death until the planned action in the case was completed.
The National Park Service has said the fire was likely human caused, but that remains under investigation.

Special Vehicles in GTA IV
this wiki
Unique vehicles are not something new to the GTA series, and are seen a multitude of times in Grand Theft Auto IV. Unique vehicles are usually already presented ingame, simply painted a unique color, or rare vehicles that are only seen on once during a certain mission. They can sometimes be very hard to get, as they are either mission related or they just appear as a one-time-only. However, unlike in many past GTA games, it appears none of the special vehicles in GTA IV possess special abilities such as being fire proof, damage proof, etc.
Warning: Many unique colored vehicles will be resprayed to normal colors upon repair, you will never be able to revert back to the unique color in Pay 'n' Spray.
Many of Stevie's (if not all) car theft's are also unique.
This list also includes special types of vehicles such as gang cars, police vehicles and so on.
- A blue Banshee with grayer color than normal and a white stripe is requested by Brucie for his Exotic Exports.
- A Banshee with yellow stripe and a orange paintjob is requested by Stevie.
- In the mission Meltdown for Ray Boccino, the car chase begins with the player driving a Banshee. This Banshee has a unique grey-bluish-green-stripe paintjob.
Blista Compact
- A pure silver Blista Compact can be stolen in the mission Clean Getaway. Also this is the modified variant of the Blista Compact which is normally red. To keep the car, drive it to your safehouse parking space and then commit suicide, which will result in mission failure, but the car will get stored anyway.
- Also, it can be obtained in the beginning of the mission Ivan The Not So Terrible. It's parked right outside the Comrades bar, you just need to put it on the other side of the street in your parking space.
- A unique dark grey Cavalcade replaces the Esperanto used by Roman's Taxi service once the player has unlocked the Algonquin Safehouse. However, the same driver, Mohammed, will be driving it, and still will throw insults at Niko. However, unlike Roman's Taxi, there is no enhanced performance in this version. In order to obtain this grey Cavalcade, you can just carjack it or aim at Mohammed with a gun and he will get off and run away like a normal NPC.
- A unique black tinted (the main color varies) Cavalcade with black rims is also available during the mission Deconstruction for Beginners. It is parked in an alley in Castle Gardens where Playboy X has left it with a supply of weapons. The player can drive this Cavalcade to a safehouse to store it, and still return to complete the mission. This Cavalcade may have been borrowed from Armando Torres from TBoGT as he has a similar version and he stores and sells weapons in it. Nonetheless, it is still a rarity in GTA IV.
- A similar black-tinted Cavalcade is the target of one of Stevie's Car Thefts; this Cavalcade has a unique green undercoat and dark green trims.
- Brucie Kibbutz will send you an e-mail, for his Exotic Exports, for a Cavalcade. This Cavalcade is unique because of its deep matte red paint-job, black-tinted windows and black rims.
- A baby blue Cognoscenti is wanted by Stevie. You can take and save it at a nearby safehouse and it should reappear. When Stevie calls for it, it should appear in an allyway, off Boydon Ave, Alderney City, Alderney.
- A pearl white Cognoscenti can be stolen after completing Gracie Ancelotti's random encounter. It appears in the driveway at her house in Alderney City.
- A bright yellow Comet is given to player as a racing car in the mission No. 1. After completing the mission, Brucie allows the player to keep the Comet.
- A Comet with a unique mauve paint job is requested by Stevie for one of his car thefts.
- A unique lustered sliver Comet appears near Bernie Crane's house in the mission Hating the Haters, the player can take it to a parking space and continue the mission.
- A lustered black Coquette appears in the mission Payback. To obtain it, simply follow the goons until they stop at the building.
- The Coquette has a unique white-and-red paint job available, similar to that of the 1984-1996 C4 Corvette featured in the television series The A-Team [1]. This paint job, unlike most other unique paint jobs, can be sprayed onto any Coquette.
- The Coquette also has another unique paintjob. Like the one above, it can be sprayed onto any Coquette. It's a green and black paintjob, appearing black at some angles but green at other angles.
- A lustered black/silver DF8-90 appears when doing missions for Mikhail Faustin. It is in the driveway at Mikhail Faustin's house , in front of the parked Turismo , and it comes in any of the three variants.
- A parked DF8-90 without black-tinted roof and a light blue paint job can be found in a parking lot under the train tracks in the Hove Beach area in Broker requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts.
- In the mission Lure for Francis McReary, a red iridescent Dukes, that can not be seen on the streets, can be found outside the target's apartment in Denver Avenue, East Holland, Algonquin. Red iridescent Dukes can be found in southern Alderney near Honkers, the dukes in this area have different bodies from other dukes, and some very rare ones are a red iridescent color, this has also been spawned, very rarly in Bohan.
- A dark metallic orange Dukes is wanted by Stevie. This Dukes can be taken to a nearby safehouse and another should appear. When Stevie calls for it,it should appear on Vauxite Street, across from Modo, East Holland, Algonquin
- A black Emperor with a red lustered colour appears after the mission Dust Off, it will spawn beside the building, you can take it and save it at a safehouse.
- Gracie Ancelotti owns a special pink Feltzer that can be acquired in the mission I'll Take Her.... By either killing the driver after the end of the mission or firing a gun across the street from Gracie's house before meeting her.
- A modified version used by the Triads called the JDM VIP can be acquired. They can usually be found in Chinatown.
- A secondary version used by FlyUS, which features an emergency light on the roof and the company colors. This variant can be found at the Francis International Airport, Dukes.
Huntley Sport
- Huntley Sports with a yellow, black and green paint job, custom grille with removed badging and side-mounted exhaust pipes are driven by the Jamaican Posse; like other gang-specific variants, all these modified vehicles are still called "Huntley Sport" when entered. These can be found around Beechwood City, Schottler and Willis.
- A normal Huntley Sport with Jamaican Colours is given as a gift in the last of Little Jacob's drug delivery missions.
- A normal Huntley Sport with Jamaican Colours are seen in The Lost and Damned, as Gang Wars located in Dukes and Broker are often against members of the Jamaican Posse, these can be stolen when the mission is completed.
- During the mission "Three Leaf Clover", when the player exits the subway service exit, there will be a Huntley available to escape the police. This is the only Huntley in the game to have an alarm system going off when broken into.
- A black Huntley, 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 Sport's.
- After doing a boating trip with Brucie, an iridescent olive and beige Huntley will be parked at the docks where you get out of the boat.
- A custom grey and black Huntley Sport is one of Stevie's Car Thefts, parked outside the police station at Bohan.
- You have to steal an Infernus for Stevie. It is a unique gold color. Like many of Stevie's cars, they re-spawn after a while. It is parked in Montauk Ave. Downtown, Broker, but only if you got a text message from Stevie.
- Also, after you completed the mission Buoys Ahoy, Bernie Crane will call you to collect Deputy Mayor Bryce Dawkins' special orange or chrome yellow Infernus as a gift. Like many other cars, the Infernus comes in two different variants (with or without spoilers). This particular Infernus is also bugged.
- The Laundromat is a laundry van that only appears in two missions. The easiest way to obtain it will the mission Hung Out to Dry. It can be found in the back of the laundromat, stealing it, however, will result in mission failure.
- It's second appearance is in the mission Meltdown, where it is used in a scripted sequence. This one can also be stolen, and if you are good at driving a van in a chase, you can complete the mission.
- Three black shade of Lokuses appears during the mission Entourage.
- A sky blue Marbelle appears in the first cutscene during the mission Clean Getaway. Later in the story, when Vlad tries to escape from Niko, he drives the sky blue Marbelle again in the mission Uncle Vlad. When he reaches the Humboldt River, he leaves the car and makes a run for it. You can take the car at this point and save it at the Hove Beach safehouse.
- In the mission First Date, you are given a lustered silver Merit. You can save it when the mission is completed.
- In the mission Museum Piece, there are three pure white PMP 600 "Sports" parked on the northern side of the museum. These PMP 600 "Sports" variant normally comes in complete black. This is the only time they appear in white in the entire game.
- In one of Brucie's e-mail-based Exotic Exports, Niko has to retrieve a vibrant maroon red PMP 600.
- When calling Dwane Forge for backup, two of his goons appear in one of three unique red vehicles, one being a red PMP 600.
- A yellow Patriot can be acquired anytime after the mission Blow Your Cover for Playboy X but before his death. It will be parked in one of the RESIDENT PARKING ONLY spots outside his loft. To save it, simply drive it out of the car saving spot and drive it back in. A similar yellow Patriot, but with the US flags, is wanted by Stevie, it is located on the South Parkway near Denver Ave, The Exchange.
- Two lustered silver Patriots appear in the mission Photo Shoot.
- When calling Dwayne Forge for backup, two goons arrive in one of three cars, one being a unique red Patriot.
- The NOOSE Patriot is the modified police variant of the Patriot.
- A black modified Patriot is seen around Firefly Projects driven by M.O.B.
Police Stockade
- This is a special variant of Brute Stockade 8000. It appears in two missions. Its first appearance is in the mission Three Leaf Clover; hovewer, it is not recommended to try to take it in this as it requires a lot of patience and a truck to push it to a garage. The doors are also locked. The best chance to acquire it is during the mission Tunnel of Death as the player is required to steal it. After dealing with the NOOSE and police forces, take it and drive it to your nearest safehouse. After that, you have parked it in the parking space, drive very far away until the mission has failed, the truck will still be in the parking space. Another way to obtain the Police Stockade in the same mission without failing it is by pushing it back to your nearest safehouse; a good vehicle for pushing it is the Phantom located in Normandy just before you go to the secluded area. After that, push both cars until you reach the safehouse; make sure they're always close to each other, or the Stockade will vanish. Avoid police attention, the Stockade will vanish if you go too far away. When you reach the safehouse, just continue with the mission and and go back to your safehouse; it should be there with you not having a mission failure.
- A modified Presidente is used by the Korean mob. It has a spoiler, a different grille and a dark blue color. They appear in Alderney and near the safehouse.
- When calling Dwayne Forge for backup, two of his goons arrive in one of three vehicles, one being a unique red Presidente.
- A brown colored Rebla is requested by Stevie.
- A modifed version of the Rebla is used by the Russian Mafia.
Roman's Taxi
- The Roman's Taxi is a black Esperanto with an emergency light. This may be the first special car you can get. It's easy to get, but after Roman's depot is burned down, the car is not available for sometime, but the car is then available again once the player completes Blow Your Cover, when Roman's insurance pays-off. After the completion of Hostile Negotiation, the car is no longer available, as it gets replaced by a fleet of gray Cavalcades.
- A Romero appears in the mission Undertaker. This is the only time it appears in the entire game. To obtain it, steal it when the mission is done, but you have to be fast and alert, otherwise the driver will drive away and disappear. The Romero will also appear on the street, but only if you are driving one at the time.
- Ivan Bytchkov owns a random iridescent color and yellow Ruiner which can stolen during the mission Ivan The Not So Terrible. When Ivan crashes his car into a truck, he will try to escape on foot - don't go after him just yet though. First, take the car to the end of the block to the south and park it where your will eventually get to Ivan. Or you can take the car and abandon Ivan which will lead to mission failure.
- You will be chased by a few Sentinel XS during the mission She's a Keeper, some of them have the standard black/green paintjob but some also has a unique black/red paintjob. However, trying to steal one will cause you to fail the mission.
- A unique black lustered Sentinel appears during the mission Wrong is Right.
- A black Stallion with a blue or normal undertone appears in the mission Escuela of the Streets.
- A derailed version of the Subway in No Way on the Subway.
- A unique dark blue Sultan with black rims is wanted by Stevie. You can take it and save it. A new one will respawn.
- A modified blue variant is used by Korean mob. Can usually be found in Alderney City, in Alderney.
- A Sultan RS can be found behind the abandoned house's garage in Westdyke at anytime.
Super GT
- One uniquely colored Super GT appears in the mission Union Drive for Bernie Crane, driven by Dimitri Rascalov's henchmen. The paintjob is a metallic red, blue, green, gray, or pink, all of which are unique.
- Another uniquely colored Super GT appears in a Most Wanted mission in which you are after a drug trafficker named Darren Covey. You find him and the five friends of his whom you must kill also on the second floor of a parking garage in Purgatory, with a few cars around them. One of these cars is a Super GT whose paint job resembles a mixture of Irish Mob green and sky blue not found anywhere else in the game.
- A third unique Super GT appears in one of Stevie's Car Thefts. It is in front of the 69 Exchange in Chinatown, Algonquin.
- A unique coloured dark green Vincent LX2007 appears in the mission She's a Keeper.
- A red and black Virgo appears in the mission Concrete Jungle. It can be taken and saved at your safehouse. This Virgo is also obtainable when asking Little Jacob for guns. This Virgo is also used in Russian Revolution. This Virgo can also be seen in Mr and Mrs Bellic.
- In the mission Ruff Rider, there is a rich red Hellfury that can be obtained after you kill the enemy, Jayvon Simson. Normal Hellfurys have a metallic red, but this one is a glossy red with no metallic added to it. After killing Jayvon, the Hellfury can be stolen and used to complete the mission by meeting Dwayne.
- A green and black Faggio is wanted by Stevie. This Faggio can be taken to a nearby safehouse and another should appear. When Stevie calls for it, it should appear across the street from Dragon Heart Plaza, Diamond Street, Chinatown, Algonquin.
- A brown Freeway is wanted by Stevie. This Freeway can be taken to a safehouse and another Freeway should appear. When Stevie calls for it, it should appear in front of the Willis Wash and Lube, Saratoga Ave in Willis, Dukes.
- A light and dark grey NRG 900 can be stolen for Stevie. This NRG 900 can be taken to a safehouse and stored and another one will appear. When Stevie calls for it, it will appear on Bismarck Ave, Lancaster, Algonquin.
There are three unique variants of the Maverick:
- A white Maverick with red stripes appears in the missions Dust Off and Paper Trail. In Dust Off, this requires a mission failure to obtain the chopper. It's recommended to save it in Paper Trail, because you can fly it to your safehouse after you beat the mission.
- Another one appears in Babysitting. It is solid black with no white stripes on the top of the body. You need to capsize Derrick's boat, and after it starts flying away, ram it into a building, and then push it to your safehouse after it hits the ground.
Note: There can't be anyone in the chopper after it crashes. Otherwise, it won't save.
- Another one appears in A Revenger's Tragedy ("Deal" ending), where Dimitri flies it. After you crash on Happiness Island, steal the chopper and fly it to your safehouse. The Maverick is white with orange stripes.
Police Maverick
The Police Maverick is a police variant of the civilian Maverick. Also, the Police Maverick dosen't have a spawn point in GTA IV. To acquire one, good sniping skills will be needed.
- Little Jacob pilots an Annihilator with the side doors closed (the regular Annihilators have the side doors open) that can only be obtained in the last mission (either ending), to obtain it, fly it to your safehouse and kill Roman or Jacob.

People were mighty disappointed in the Festival of Light at Bushnell Park the other night.
In case you missed it, it went a little something like this: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.
Ever since, people have been all atwitter about Hartford getting it wrong -- again.
Without a doubt, it was embarrassing to see Hartford fail to do something as basic as putting on a holiday light show.
But more disappointing than the lack of lights were the lame excuses the display sparked from city officials and festival organizers.
The less than oohh and ahhh inspiring lights was the plan all along, they insisted - something different.
They were worried about squirrels chewing through the strings of lights, about electrocuting birds.
Not to mention possibly damaging the historic trees.
And from Mayor Pedro Segarra when television cameras turned to him that night: It's an evolving display. Ay Pedro, really? That's like saying we're going to have a special kind of July 4th celebration where we'll be rolling out one firework a year until some grand finale in the distant future.

- "My name was Mary Alice Brandon. I had a little sister named Cynthia. Her daughter - my niece - is still alive in Biloxi."
- ―Alice[src]
Cynthia Brandon was the younger sister of Alice Cullen, when she was still known as "Mary Alice Brandon".
Early life
Cynthia was nine years younger than Alice. Despite the age difference, however, Cynthia and Alice were very close. Her father was a jeweler whose work kept him away from home for days at a time, so their mother took care of Alice and Cynthia. Her father remarried within six months after the passing of her mother, and her stepmother treated her like a favorite while treating Alice very coldly. For this reason, she remained in the dark about her sister's discoveries of the mystery behind their mother's death. After Alice was locked up in a mental asylum and became a vampire, Cynthia married and had a daughter.
She had since passed away, but her daughter is still alive in Biloxi.
New Moon
Cynthia is only mentioned in New Moon when Alice visits Bella; and tells her of her discoveries about her mysterious human life, and found out that she had a sister, who had since passed away, leaving a daughter who still lives in Biloxi. It's unknown whether Cynthia knew that Alice was confined to the asylum.
