--I draw all of my character images myself (none-original characters usually use official artwork which isn't mine), some of them I've worked on more than others and I might end up giving them multiple images as they progress through stories and things happen to them. Sometimes I like to take requests, but I've been pretty busy recently and already have a lot of requests on my plate from some other websites, but feel free to ask anyway!--

A sneaky, selfish turian who is constantly seeking new, more efficient ways to get credits. Acrus will often try to deceive anyone he thinks he might get money out of, and has no restraint when it comes to dealing with those that get in the way of an opportunity.
That is all the universe really is to him, an opportunity. He has no remorse for the people of Omega and has no intention to make friends, he feels that every sentient being is just as untrustworthy as he is, and will only ally himself with a faction or group for some sort of personal gain.
Acrus was born on Omega, abandoned by his family after spending only one year of his life with them. It is assumed that they could no longer afford to look after him. He was 'adopted' by a small turian drug company working out of Omega and used in the later stages of drug testing until he was 7. Acrus spent most of his time in the company building, trying to claw his way out of the room they kept him in. When he was bored, he constructed picks out of wires and metal he found he could tear away from electrical equipment and eventually found a way to escape. Using a stolen omni-tool and his metal strips, he turned to the path of crime and thievery. Omega wasn't a very good place to steal things, people were already paranoid and feared for their lives every day, so Acrus honed his skills after being caught many times and escaping from either authority-based containment or places he'd been trapped in by people who were unfortunate enough to become his targets. Surviving on scraps and garbage, and living in the vorcha-infested nooks of the city, the young turian boy grew to be cold and desperate. At 15, he forced himself into more advanced and structured thieving jobs. He obtained plans of buildings, learned routines of the more wealthy classes, searched for any way he could get lots of credits and get out fast enough to keep them. It became apparent to him in his years of training that bloodshed was often necessary on a shallow asteroid like Omega, he took a liking to knives. Their weight and deadliness were particularly attractive, and there have been many victims to the bite of Acrus' blade. While capable with guns, Acrus always prefers sneak attacks and melee fighting. He carries with him a combat knife and an omni-tool with a program allowing him to use the holographic instrument as a small, knife-like omni-blade. The omni-tool in question is also a rare black colour. The barefaced turian became infamous, and is known in the back alleys of Omega as Bloodshadow due to his lust for violence and tendencies to rob people in the dark.
Acrus' only notable time off Omega was spent with Aria T'Loak's united mercenaries against the reaper threat. He discovered his love of straight-up fighting while fending off swarms of reaper husks, and used his stealthy nature to survive the perilous waves of war. After the reapers were defeated, Acrus spent some time with the Blue Suns. After finding that mercenary life could not hold his interest, he returned home to Omega... only to find that the world without law was at war with itself...

Identity: The Lion Dancer
Real Name: 令和 武内 Reo Takeuchi
Age: 22
Race: Human
Underneath the fierce red mask is an adult man known as Reo Takeuchi. He has soft dark greenish hair, and deep brown eyes which look softly and a little wearily upon those he meets. He wears a plain amazon green kimono in the rare times he is not wearing his costume or parts of his costume. Reo was deprived of interaction as a young boy, and was constantly told that he was useless. This stemmed into a personality disorder which drives him to want acceptance and a feeling of being needed. Because of this disorder, decostumed Reo is a shy, reluctant young man who is overly modest and feels as though he is wasting time in his civilian form. Reo feels that he is nothing without his Lion Dance costume, and has grown obsessed with his alter ego. He despises himself when he is not being the idealistic and heroic Lion Dancer, and wishes he could just remain in costume at all times. Outside of the costume, people find that Reo is difficult to have a conversation with, as he unintentionally cuts discussions short with his lack of social skills. When he's relaxed, he loves to eat peaches, and will eat whole bowls of them.
He practises shishi-mai in the street for entertainment, money, and traditional inspiration for the people. Reo is an outdoors person, prowling the earth always and even when he is not in costume he likes to take positions of protection. He loves to patrol forests on sunny days (often going to sleep in the shade of a tree) and has been spotted quietly perching on stone fences and high places in the night. There are rumours that Reo doesn't sleep, and is sometimes called 'Sleepwalker', this is actually because he has a mild form of insomnia, and struggles sleeping. His sleeplessness is a fairly new development probably related to his endevours as a vigilante, his insistance on keeping guard of the citizens of his homeland is so strong that it is affecting his sleeping patterns. Despite this, Reo is hardly ever tired- or at least, that is the facade he veils himself in. There is a certain look of weariness in his eyes, some say. Reo travels Japan, constantly seeking those in need of his help. During his travels, he hunts and harvests food in the wild rather than obtaining it from towns.
When Reo dons his costume, he becomes his alternate persona known to the people as the Lion Dancer. The Lion Dancer is a mysterious fighter with a unique style which resembles a sort of power dance. Not flamboyant like typical dances, but more controlled and serpentine like a shishi-mai. His attacks are sharp and quick, like the bite of a lion, and he favours jumps and twirls when dodging which give the style its 'dance' look. The Lion Dancer embodies the qualities of a hero. Calm and brave, slow to anger, quick to protect the innocent, and never boasting. As well as people, he is interested in protecting history in the hope that men will stop repeating the mistakes of the past. He has been known to go out of his way to protect ancient artifacts and buildings. While still anti-social and avoidant of conversation, Reo as the Lion Dancer murmurs (often incomprehensibly) to his opponents in low growls- his own strange way of concentrating.

Name: Ned
Nickname(s): Neddy Nutcase, Nutter (prefers not to be called "Ned" or "Neddy")
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Role: Mad Hatter's Apprentice
Appearance: Wears an inside-out waistcoat, an orange bowler hat, green trousers, greyish shirt, and shoes with spats
Abilities: Can turn into a hat when necessary
Likes: biscuits, tea, cloudy days, trees, horses, hats
Dislikes: dogs, forks, dolls, vegetables
Personality: Neddy Nutcase, also referred to more simply as "Nutter", is about as mad as everybody else in Wonderland. He's a jolly, playful fellow, never down, but doesn't appear 'silly' when people see him at first. Nutter displays his madness through words mostly, subtly through actions (funny ways of walking, sitting, standing) he makes odd remarks and likes to make jokes about people, and sometimes himself. Although willing to participate in mischief, he is often cowardly in the face of danger, and would take an oppertunity to run away from a fight unless he is certain he can properly combat the foe and win
Bio: Neddy wasn't born in Wonderland as such, as he just sort of... appeared there. At least, nobody knows where exactly he came from- not even he! He lived in the Red Queen's kingdom for some time before becoming an apprentice to the Mad Hatter, and took the Hatter as his mentor for a few reasons, one being that he likes hats and another being that he really does quite like hats. The Hatter doesn't seem like the bad sort of fellow either, and Nutter is always willing to cause some mischief as long as it doesn't bring about harm on himself.

"Whenever I think I have everything figured out... something unexpected happens that dashes all else to pieces."
Name: Iro Nyhart
Age: 25
Appearance: Iro's bones are visible, though clothed in flesh, giving him a skeletal appearance when somebody is unlucky enough to witness him naked. Fortunately, he is not a nudist, and does wear clothes. The attire in question usually consists of darker colours, navy, dark greens and browns are his preferred schemes. As for what he wears, he likes to dress in long shirts of various colours, a green fleece jacket, and a pair of dark brown khakis. He has an "average" height, not particularly short or tall. Atop his body sits a head, and on that head grows many strands of strawberry blonde hair (not something he is particularly proud of, but also not offensive enough to persuade him to buy hair dye). He allows stubble to grow, and shaves only when it starts becoming a beard.
Personality: Iro always tried to believe that the world made sense in some way or another.
The problem is, the opposite always seems to be true, and that's what drives him to keep learning. The world is one big question, and he is the sleuth. Being a magician, Iro always looks for the "trick" behind anything new, anything can be explained when the correct methods are applied. The universe runs on a code constructed by mathematics and science, after all... doesn't it? A hilarious code.
He takes life with a smile, and doesn't take things seriously that might be... well, serious. In fact, the more perilous something is, the less he appears to be affected. He finds the world amusing, the way people react to things, the broken systems humanity runs on, the surprises, the inevitable. To him, it all might as well be a big joke, a cruel and viscous circle of sadness, every path leading to a dead end. Might as well laugh about it.
Iro is just as fascinated as he is entertained by life, and his fellow humans. While people are simply amusing, their home, their planet, their pocket of space is very interesting and worth researching. What he learns never ceases to surprise him.
He'll joke around when having a conversation, even if jokes are not called for. But when something interesting happens, he'll pounce on it and attempt to figure it out.
Back story: A king, a queen, an 8, a 2, an ace... an ace? That wasn't right. Iro's father was a magician, his grandfather engineered contraptions for magicians, it only made sense that he, too, would be interested in the art of misdirection. His fixation on card tricks stemmed from his brother's playing card collection, having magic tricks be part of his family history was only a bonus. Like many young magicians in training, Iro had many a failed card trick that ended up in embarrassment and- something much worse- lack of payment. After all, pocket money was not something he was familiar with. If he wanted something, he had to earn the cash to get it. The result of this was an 8-year-old boy dropping cards all over the street after school, while a crowd of observers laughed and walked by. And that ace wasn't supposed to be there...
He was 15 when he was experienced enough to swear that there was nothing up his sleeves. As an adolescent, Iro had mastered many simple tricks and was starting to actually make money off of the poor, gulliable saps that passed him after school. He could bring back dead flies, conjure money from the molecules in the air, and, of course, guess your card.
By the time he was 20, Iro had been hired by an entertainment agency, and has since then performed in dozens of magic shows on stage and in street events. He isn't the most fantastic or original magician in the world, he still hasn't figured out how to make a truck levitate, or found a way to escape a prison complex, but hey, it's a living.
Extra: Carries a pack of cards with him always.
What did you wish for:
His wish? Iro is accustomed to a life filled with change. An ally could become a rival by the turn of a head, life could crumble into death before his eyes, an ace could appear where it wasn't supposed to, or not appear at all. Every day, he wished for something that would never change. Something he could rely on, something that would survive the whirls of time and the echoes of eternity without change. A memento. Something he could look at when he sees the last few trickles of sand run down the neck of his hourglass of life, to bring to him a smile and a lingering memory.

Name: Aphotic
Age: ~100
Gender: Male
Race: Shadow
Abilities: Apho is a manipulative soul reader, he can see into the souls of others and know their desires He will try to use that to his advantage. His shadow was formed from the soul of a dark mage in training, so he can use some basic dark magic when he's in a pinch.
Weaknesses: Light Magic
Personality: Aphotic (or just Apho) is a playful Shadow who always knows how to get what he wants. Often lying and always with his tongue snaking around the ear of a potential victim, Apho is an effective manipulator who prefers to talk his way out of a situation rather than fight and prefers to persuade people to do his bidding. Aphotic is a little bit of a womaniser, if he sees a pretty young lady he won't be shy when it comes to flirting with her. He cannot fall in love, and doesn't actually become intimate with anybody, he uses the love or friendliness others might have for him as another form of control and manipulation.
Background: "Aphotic" may be what they call him now, but he was once a man. An ambitious young man no older than 20, and yet a well known womaniser in his village. One night, he was caught flirting with the fiancé of the most powerful man in town, and he was angry. The lad had been running from him since then, no knowledge of combat, only knowing how to run away. He became the apprentice to a wizard in hope that he might find a way to escape the angry man forever, but the lad wasn't too bright, and it took him a long time just to learn basic spells. Simple magic wasn't enough for him anyway, he wanted to get to the top of the field of dark magic and find immortality, the ultimate escape. Finding that his training took too long, he went on a search for another way to become immortal. He found himself at the temple of a white mage, a powerful and wise man who practiced the magic of light. The mage gave the lad both guidance and a warning. The young man asked the White mage how he could learn quickly to live forever and avoid his foes, the mage told him to seek out a well in a deep swamp and meet his fate there, but also warned him that should he choose immortality this way, he would regret it. Ignoring the wise man's words, the lad went in search for the well, finding it after a year of searching. He hurriedly drank the murky water from its depths and began to... change. His soul seeped from his body and possessed the dark energy the water emitted, the water was teeming with dark magic, a dark aura, the shadow curse.
The curse compelled the young man to find a living thing, to break it down, to consume it. To become it. Wild-eyed and afraid, the man was no longer in control of his own actions, he ran rampant through the swamp in search of any living creature but there were none to be found. The swamp was dead, only held together by a network of old tainted trees and dank, black mud.
The man, beast-like and desperate, started to run. He ran for days, the curse feeding his muscles and pumping through his veins. In his trek, the curse began to poison the man. He started to slow down, and stop. He fell to the ground in the middle of a road used by travelers and passed out.
He thought he was dead, but dead men don't wake up. And he woke up. A kindly stranger about the same age as himself found him in the road, with only a donkey carrying market supplies. The man was an ordinary merchant on the road to town, he was lucky to even find the cursed ex-mage apprentice when he did. How was he thanked for his kindness? You can probably guess.
The cursed man took hold of the strangers shoulders and stared him right in the eyes, his soul seeping into his, consuming his flesh. The stranger's skin burned and flew away with the breeze, ashes and embers converted into shadowy dusk. His soul entered another world, but his body had become a vessel of darkness. A new body for the cursed man's dark soul, though he was a man no longer. He was a being devoid of all light, a tainted soul filled with corruption and deceit. A shadow of everything he once was.
Now he could find the man he feared most.
And kill him.
Other: can sink into the ground and become an actual shadow, or project himself onto a wall two-dimensionally. This is only for movement purposes and doesn't give him any real advantages.

Name : Kier Bleakley
Age : 16
History : His parents weren't around very much, both of them had jobs and they didn't spend a lot of time with Kier as a child much less as a teenager. Kier practically raised himself, coming home from school, cooking his own meals and putting himself to bed since he was 9 or 10 years old. Before then, his mother was a housewife who spent most of her time chatting with neighbors and reading books. Due to money issues, his mother had to get a job as well as his father, and now he doesn't see them except in the morning when they come home.
Because he was given free reign over his own lifestyle, Kier found that he liked to explore the city. He would often stay up till the late hours of the day roaming the parks and streets, taking in the atmosphere that came with walking alone on a cold dark evening. He was also nimble and swift, if he spotted people who might want to hurt him he could quickly run and hide somewhere (that's a skill he had to learn if he wanted to continue exploring the streets at night. Especially the back alleys and parks.)
Appearance :
Dragon egg: Shadow Egg
Personality : He isn't a bad kid, he gets to school on time and does his homework, but most of the teachers don't like him because of his harsh unfriendliness. Kier doesn't have any friends, he doesn't really want any either, he's used to being alone. He dresses in black clothes, and looks a little "gothy" but he isn't a depressed person. He's more unemotional and robotic than most teenagers, he doesn't really react to anything and some kids bully him, calling him "Soulless". He doesn't like music at all, he loves the quiet and the sounds of the city in the early hours of the day and late in the night.

Name: April String
Gender: F
Age: 19
Personality: Due to her upbringing, April thrives on independence and excitement. she is capable of making friends, but doesn't go out of her way to do so, she's certainly never tried before now. She isn't very smart intellectually, but she knows some great tricks when it comes to borrowing... although she is quite knowledgeable on the subject of insects and other creepy-crawlies. She's fascinated by the mini beasts, and can find ways of using their skills and abilities to her advantage. April isn't a very big fan of the big people, she doesn't resent them as much as she finds them annoying and difficult to live with. They were simultaneously a lifeline and a threat, they provided resources, but could squash them without even realising they were there. Because of this, April is a little bit rebellious when it comes to the traditional borrowing ways. She likes to make big people question themselves and their sanity, sometimes by vandalising things, other times by moving around objects, things that the humans can't explain. April usually gets along with other borrowers just fine, though she can find herself getting into arguments quite quickly when the topic of humans is brought up. She believes that one day, borrowers won't have to fear the big people... either because they will find peace with each other, or one kind will be exterminated.
Background: April grew up with her twin brother and father in house number 21, neither she nor her sibling knew their mother as she left shortly after they were born. Living with two men and having no friends caused April's somewhat masculine attitude towards most things, it's all she's ever known and she cannot begin to understand the more feminine members of her gender. April would join her family on many an adventure into the world of humanity, her father was not particularly bright and many risks with his children. Along the way they made mistakes and picked up useful tricks which helped them all become great borrowers over time. As April and her brother grew older, the family traveled less together and became more independent. Father stayed at home most of the time, not feeling up to borrowing very often, April and her brother would explore different sections of the apartment to make up for the lack of a third borrowing member, and so April became solitary in her expeditions and has been a bit of a "lone wolf" ever since. On one particular endeavor during Autumn into the big people territory, April came across a Bee. To be more specific, a honey bee drone. The bee was found on a curtain by the window, clinging to it, starving, and without a home. April became strongly attached to the bee, and took it in as a pet. She still has the bee, which she lovingly named "Firethread".
Belongings: Mostly modified or combined tools made from borrowed objects. Usually carries a pair of modified drawing pins used for climbing, the inside of a ballpoint pen which has been shortened and is used as a sort of spear, and an elastic band (one of the most useful tools!)
Family: April has a father and brother, Thom (Tom) String is her Father and Henry String is her twin brother.
RP example:
A drawing pin thrust upwards, ripping through the air, striking the soft wood within a second. April's brow furrowed, keen to reach the top of the counter she pressed on, throwing the second drawing pin upwards and driving it into the pine. That's where they kept the sugar, after all. Up there, along with the coffee and the tea in one of the giant porcelain pots decorated with pictures of flowers and leaves, sealed with a cork plug. The eager borrower reached the cheap stone-coloured plastic surface of the wooden counter after a good few minutes of relentless climbing. Huffing and puffing as she clambered over the edge of the not-stone slab above the pine, the borrower took a moment to look up towards the end of the counter. There, in the distance, were the three stubborn containers. The corks were always a challenge, they were sort of airtight and it was always a bit of a fight getting anything out from underneath them. After catching her breath, April strolled towards the silent treasure troves, only something caught her eye that made her stop in her tracks. It was a sight she'd seen, but not in any physical form. She'd seen pictures of it once before in one of the paper-leaved books the slightly smaller big person left open here and there. It was an Apis-... an Apis Mell-... it was a Bee. The bee, while expressing absolutely no emotion with it's massive, static eyes, looked strangely sad to her. Insects and other such beasts were usually a pain, and in her time April had conquered many of them with her trusty Biro-pen spear, if there was anything this particular borrower knew a lot about, it was insects. This was a Drone, a male honey bee, which was among the least dangerous insects since (unlike their female counterparts) they had no stingers. Judging by the colour of the leaves outside the window and the calender the big people had hanging up conveniently near the hot drink supplies, it was Autumn which was the time of year the drones were kicked out of their hives. Abandoned.
Poor thing...

Mad Hatter, for use in Surviving Wonderland
Appearance: the Hatter is quite short, only 5 foot 2 inches high. he has wild, unkempt hair which is dark brown in colour and sticks out in all directions as though he has never combed it. He wears clothes considered ordinary for a Victorian England era man, a simple waistcoat over a brown sleeved shirt and a brightly coloured yellow and black polka-dotted bow tie which contrasts with his sepia hue clothes. He also wears black trousers, dress shoes with brown spats and, of course, a large top hat.
Name: The Hatter
Title / Nickname: The Mad Hatter, Hatter
Role: The Mad Hatter
Age: unknown
Gender: Male
Residency: Wonderland
Species: Wonderlander (appears human)
Weapon: razor sharp hats (which are thrown)
Magical Abilities: Can conjure scalding hot tea
Personality: The Hatter is an eccentric Wonderlander who is well known for his insane and bizarre antics. Unpredictable and quite mad, the Hatter is untrustworthy as a source and a maniacal host when it comes to parties (often a little harmful to his guests)- but not evil. While the Hatter is purely neutral, he is often of little use. He usually spends his time drinking tea with his friends.
History: The Hatter is trapped in a never-ending tea party and forever enslaved to the time. Why? Well you see, time in Wonderland is a sentient creature, and the Hatter unwittingly tried to murder it. Because it is always six o'clock for the Hatter, he must constantly take tea and because of this is practically impossible to travel with him without the proper equipment. If one were to travel with him, he'd need a lot of tea...
Other: might break watches due to his six o'clock curse. Six o'clock curse can be withheld temporarily by monarchy figures.

His watery kingdom soon became overgrown and the robots which resided there eventually left or were destroyed. Bubble Man was all alone. He came to the conclusion that he was useless if he couldn't defeat Mega Man, but couldn't think of a good reason to shut himself down either. So, he left his lair and went off in search of the other Robot Masters to see if he could find a new purpose for himself.

An Anne Arundel County woman was arrested after she intentionally drove her pickup truck into her estranged husband and seriously injured him, police officials said.
Patina Morehead, 39, was charged with attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault, according to the Anne Arundel County Police Department.
About 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, police and fire department personnel went to the 1200 block of Hawthorne Street in Shady Side.
An investigation found that Morehead allegedly went to her estranged husband's home, and the pair argued. They ended up in the man's driveway, and Morehead got into her 2004 pickup truck and drove toward her husband, striking him and pinning him between her pickup truck and a parked vehicle, according to police.
The victim suffered serious injuries to his lower body and was flown to a hospital.

Do Patient Portals Ramp Up Cost Of Healthcare?
While this could drive up costs in the short term, more research will have to be done to determine whether or not portal users will see long-term health benefits from increased use of the system, said Ted Palen, MD, of the Institute for Health Research at Kaiser Permanente and the study's lead author, in an interview with InformationWeek Healthcare.
Some previous studies have suggested that if patients can look up test results, confer with providers, and request prescription refills online, they will call physician offices less and make fewer office visits. So the results of the new Kaiser study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, surprised the researchers, Palen said.
The study compared 44,321 Kaiser Permanente Colorado members who signed up for the portal between 2006 and 2009 and remained active members for at least a year with a matched group who did not enroll in the portal. The matching included gender, age, ethnicity, and whether or not the patients in the two groups had asthma, coronary artery disease, diabetes, or congestive heart failure.
[ How can patient engagement help transform medical care? Read 5 Healthcare Tools To Boost Patient Involvement. ]
Portal participants could not only see portions of their electronic health record, but they could also request prescription renewals and appointments and exchange secure e-mail messages with their providers.
The researchers found that, after adjusting for changes in average utilization by non-portal participants during the study period, patients who used the portal had 0.7 more physician office visits per member annually; 0.3 more phone calls to clinicians per member annually; 19.9 more hospitalizations per 1,000 members annually; 18.7 more after-hours clinic visits per 1,000 members annually; and 11.2 more ED visits per 1,000 members annually.
Palen said it's possible that portal participants might have been more concerned about their health than those who didn't sign up for the portal, which would account for some of the difference in their use of the healthcare system. If patients became more engaged in their own healthcare as a result of using the portal, he noted, their health outcomes might improve in the long run. "That's a ripe area for further exploration," he said.
The paper also hypothesized that "online access to care may have led to an increase in use of in-person services because of additional health concerns identified through online access." While calling that "pure speculation," Palen pointed out that physicians are not trained in doing online consultations with patients, and some may be uncomfortable with it. (Kaiser gives patients online access to all of their doctors, so they must respond to messages.) As a result, these clinicians might ask patients to come in rather than try to deal with their health issues online.
Also, he said, some patients might express concerns or questions online that they would not have brought up in an office visit, and that could "prompt more contact with the healthcare system down the road."
Of course, online consultations are only one potential use of the portal. At the time of the study, the researchers did not have data indicating what members were using the portal for, but they have it now and will use that in future research.
Palen told Reuters that if his study's findings were applied to a small group practice, a physician with 1000 patients who started offering online access to records might expect an additional 10 patient visits a week. In the InformationWeek Healthcare interview, he confirmed that administrators should "be prepared for the possibility that members or patients may request more office visits" and make more phone calls to practices.
But in the long term, he added, "it may be a very good thing that there's more contact with the healthcare system in that first year. It may lead to identification of healthcare issues that can be intervened on early, and two to four years down the road, that patient's health outcomes may be improved."
Similarly, David Bates, MD, a health IT expert at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and coauthor of an editorial on the Kaiser study, told HealthDay that the study results should not discourage providers from using patient portals. Even if they lead to increased utilization, he said, they could also improve health.
Clinical, patient engagement, and consumer apps promise to re-energize healthcare. Also in the new, all-digital Mobile Power issue of InformationWeek Healthcare: Comparative effectiveness research taps the IT toolbox to compare treatments to determine which ones are most effective. (Free registration required.)
User Rank: Apprentice
More research is needed to really discover the true cost of patient portals to healthcare. I think we'll find that it increases the cost marginally, or more likely decreases the costs long term. It may lower the barrier to contact with the physician or prompt more office visits (as seen with this study), which would raise costs slightly, but it will increase patient involvement and remove some visit types (prescription refills) that may not be needed. Patients may also be more willing/more comfortable to enter something through an online portal rather than tell someone in-person which would lead to better diagnoses.

Drama Club staging "The Wager"
March 10, 2010--The Trine University Drama Club will present the adult comedy, "The Wager," on March 25-27 at 7:30 p.m. in Wells Theater.
In the Mark Medoff play, Ward, a physical education graduate student, bets his roommate, Leeds, a sarcastic graduate student, that Ward can seduce Honor, the wife of Ron, a young professor. But Leeds has also wagered that if Ward is successful, Ron will make an attempt on his life within 48 hours. As the situation's complexity increases, Leeds manipulates self-centered Ward, bored Honor, and bumbling Ron while becoming further entrapped in his own schemes.
Making up "The Wager" cast will be Eric Boone, chemical engineering major from Carmel, Ind. as Ron; Dan Ehinger, biology major from Richmond, Vt. as Ward; Jay Reeves, a math major from Greenfield, Ind. as Leeds; and Libby Wentz, chemical engineering major from Toledo, Ohio as Honor.
The show will be directed by Dan Wiehe, a computer engineering major from Fort Wayne, Ind., and he will be assisted by stage manager Fred Amstutz, a mechanical engineering major from Greenfield, Ind.
The performances, which are aimed at an adult audience, are free and open to the public. For specifics on ratings, visit trine.edu/visitors_community/calendar_of_community_events

The forum included women of different ages, backgrounds and religious beliefs living across the Wasatch front. Over the course of an hour, the panel discussed the definition of pornography, its prevalence in Utah, its impact on women, sexual abuse, addiction, and the impact pornography has on sexual relationships.
During the discussion only three out of 12 women said that it would bother them if their spouse or partner viewed pornography casually. However, it's important to note, after cameras stopped rolling nine out of 12 said it would bother them if their spouse or partner viewed it to feed an addiction.

LAKE CORPUS CHRISTI -- Kids took over this morning at Lake Corpus Christi State Park for the 21st annual Kid Fish Derby.
Kids from five to twelve years old got the chance to fish for rainbow trout...and lots of it.
Texas Park and Wildlife officials stocked the lake with 1500 fish.
Each kid also got to take home a fishing rod.
The event was free and people who helped out say they do this every year to encourage kids to do things outside, and this year, it's especially important.
Robbie Merritt with Texas Park and Wildlife said, "There's a lot of negativity going on right now about the lake level being low but there's still a lot of fun to be had out here so this is a great way to get people out and show there is a lake here and there's still plenty of fish to be had."

I've put off asking this long enough. As I am getting ready to watch what I think is one of the best seasons of this show.
Why do most fans hate Power Rangers Wild Force?
I think it was a very well done season on both sides of the camera, I mean, you can't even tell that it changed owners, or at least I couldn't, it was seamless for me. It has some great story arcs. not one but two team ups. The way the rangers were tested and actually failed and has their Wild Zords taken from them was epic, that had not happened before. For me if there were as numerical poll I would give this season a perfect 10/10.

A Blog That Reviews Chewing Gum
Gum Alert is a newer blog that reviews chewing gum. Finally. When I check out at the grocery store I'm overwhelmed with all the colors, brands and artificial flavors. It's about time the web gave us some chewing gum connoisseurs.
Some people are looking for a gum with a "chewy" texture and a "bubblegum" flavor that rolls down a spiral slide after purchase. But Gum Alert scoffs at such riff-raff gumballs. Shannon and Katie (left) only review gums imported from exotic berry islands and chiseled from arctic freezes. Clearly, chewing gum is permitted at their high school.
The reviews at Gum Alert aren't exactly bite-sized, so after reading a few 2,000 word gum reviews, the blog starts losing its flavor. The site is also sorely missing a review of Nicorette.

Warhol's homage to perhaps the most worshiped of all his celebrities—The Last Supper, is recreated on the bottom of this Alien Workshop deck in Warhol's signature color blocks, as well as a bolded font baring pro-skater Anthony Van Engelen's name. The board's more subtle top design is a natural wood veneer with mock "rolled" red paint over a yellow screen-print of the artist's signature.
This deck is the result of a collaboration between Alien Workshop and The Andy Warhol Foundation. The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was established in 1987. In accordance with Andy Warhol's will, its mission is the advancement of the visual arts. Includes no trucks or wheels.

The fabulous Ford Cobra Shelby Reunion held this past Saturday at the NHRA Motorsports Museum was a celebration of the titans of speed. More than a thousand spectators participated in the day-long festivities which included a jaw-dropping Show N Shine display, a racing legends panel discussion, a new exhibit highlighting the early Shelby years, and a special banquet honoring Shelby. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of one of automotive history's most iconic cars Carroll Shelby's Cobra, the Reunion brought together an amazing group of former Shelby employees, racing legends, and Ford Cobra Shelby aficionados.
From Mustangs to Cobras to GT-40s, more than 150 collector cars in every color filled the Museum parking lot. It was a spectacular sight and hundreds of spectators were bombarded at every turn with beautiful cars. There was everything under the Ford Cobra and Shelby sun including one of three remaining King Cobras as well as celebrity guests such as Grand Marshal Parnelli Jones, Bob Bondurant, Pete Brock, Don Prudhomme and many others.
Marlen Motorsports put together a road course event for a dozen driving participants on Friday and Saturday on the vast Fairplex parking lot. A parade lap filled with celebrities brought back fond memories for those who raced here in the 50s and 60s. Photographer's clamored for the best vantage point to capture a treasured moment for participants and racing legends alike. After all, this was a rare opportunity to relive glory days on a long silent road course.
A panel discussion with over a half dozen racing legends kept a crowded room of attentive listeners entertained with stories and adventures of racing and working with Carroll Shelby. The Reunion was made extra special when Parnelli Jones presented the Museum with his original 1973 Mustang Funny Car driven by Danny Ongais to be part of the Museum's permanent collection. The donation was gratefully accepted by Museum Curator Greg Sharp who mentioned that receiving one of the most original and complete Funny Cars of a great era was a very special honor for the Museum.
A new exhibit, "Speed Merchants of Venice" honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Cobra was unveiled to a welcoming crowd. Ten unique Cobras are featured in the exhibit as well as never-before-seen photographs from Carroll Shelby's personal archive. El Cid (one of only five original factory Cobras built for drag racing) proudly stands at attention in the entrance of the exhibit. The exhibit will remain open for the public through December 2012.
A special banquet Saturday evening highlighted by more tall tales and true, closed out the Reunion with special Shelby-themed auction items raising funds for both the Museum and the Carroll Shelby Foundation. If the popularity of this event is any indication, this won't be the last Ford Cobra Shelby Reunion!

Similar in style to the classic Navy Armchair, this stool is perfect for bar seating. This model is beautifully appointed with arms that complement the lines of the piece.
Emeco was founded as a response to a commission from the Navy to make chairs for submarines in WWII. The contract specified that the chair had to be able to withstand torpedo blasts to the side of a destroyer. Founded by Winton Dinges in 1944, the company employs a 77 Step Process that was developed by Alcoa and Emeco to manufacture a chair so durable that it far exceeded the Navy's specifications.

Summary and Book Reviews
The Burgess Boys: Summary and book reviews of The Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout
The dialog is superb and in Strout's trademark style, entirely unpretentious. The Burgess Boys is an insightful examination of how our childhoods shape and define us even as we struggle to shake loose the ghosts of our past. Fans of Elizabeth Strout will want to read this new one even if it might not rank among her very best. Visiting the hardy Puritan New England state of Maine is always fun in Strout's able hands.

O.K the problem I am having is once I have downloaded logs for use in google earth the - is missing from longtitude so instead of -0.2244xxx it reads 0.2244xxx and puts it out by about 20 miles.
Everthing is o.k in mission planner but as soon as mission planner converts the log for use in google earth the above problem is present?
can you post your log file?
Here you go Michael, I have also put in there a first person kml or kmz, of the same flight and when played back through google earth, it makes you dizzy spinning aroung and upside down... I am using a Tricopter and flying sedately..
The above problem is present in the logs also? so the problem is either in downloading the logs to mission planner, which I think is more likely as the waypoints seem to work o.k and have the correct data. or the onboard logging of gps
do you records telemetry logs as well? just to compare against?
Not really sure how that works? I have no remote serial link only the usb to laptop. Unless it records to Tlog and Rlog? are those the files you mean? I dont know how they work? I cant play them back via mission planner? here are a couple if they help?
Anybody? am I the only one with this problem?
Ok, Michael Oborne ping'd me on this and I'll have a look at it and figure out what's happened. sorry!
Have a look at issue 623, think the source of the problem may have been found? Issue 623
Right I have managed to play back my Tlog files ( The Mavlink must be disconnected ) and although what I was actually doing and what is played back in the Tlog is totally different, I am in the right area that shows up in flight data. So maybe the problem is in the conversion of Tlog to KMZ?
O.K here is the Tlog file that when played back in Mission Planner is in the right place and the kmz file that accompanies it..
Right just realized the Tlog to Kml conversion works, but the info from the downloaded logs is wrong.
So I have posted a Tlog file that is correct and I can confirm that usin mission planner to convert to KML is also correct.
But the log download files from flying in the same place that I have posted one of also is missing the negative sign from the longtitude and placing me in the wrong place.
Sorry for confusing anyone but it has been confusing me and now I can see where the problem lies:)
It's very clear where the problem is actually. The lon or lat values are very large. They barely fit into a 4byte integer, they don't fit into a 4 byte float without the last digit of accuracy being occasionally chopped off.
So to get the lon or lat printed in the dataflash log I need to chop the dec and fractional parts out of the int .. and unfortunately when i do that i use a truncate function. I accidentally neglected to notice that it rounds down for both positive and negative numbers...so I need to change the code slightly to round down for positive and up for negative.
Anyway, I know it's annoying. I'll fix it soon.
Well it`s good to know that you know what is causing the problem, Good luck Randy and thanks for looking

Clay Aiken Lists His North Carolina Home
Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping
Aiken has moved on and the home is bare of furniture but thanks to to the Real Estalker's astute commenters we found the videos from a tour he gave local television station WRAL when he moved in. Those videos (posted after the jump) deliver details including the fact that everything in his kitchen has to be blue and silver. The game room in the basement has red cabinets, a retro stainless steel backsplash and a black and white floor. In the videos it is shown outfitted as a 1950s diner-style space where once fellow American Idol contestants Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard competed in a friendly game of pool. Now the bare home theater has just a single row of seats but when Aiken was in residence the lower tiers of the room were stuffed with large bean bag chairs. Aiken also had an "Africa room," a guest bedroom decorated with art he gathered from around the world during his trips for UNICEF. The home is listed at $2.7 million with LaChapelle Properties.

All month long, I've been noticing popsicle recipes from some of my favorite bloggers and magazines that look almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Who could actually resist a nibble on chocolate and almond butter or fresh blueberry yogurt pops on a hot summer day? Not. Me.
[For those of you who prefer snow cones, I must echo The Awl: "Why eat crushed ice with cough syrup on top when you can make yourself a perfectly lovely frozen treat at home with not much effort?"].
After my disaster of an attempt at making avocado popsicles, I'll have to invest in some equipment before trying any of these recipes (I'm eyeing this Norpro Ice Pop maker, made of BPA-free plastic with an aluminum top—wooden sticks included!). And then, I will be serving my friends one of these delicious-sounding and healthy popsicle creations.
