Episode FormatEdit
So I've realized that people aren't so active on this wikia page, but I was thinking that we could improve the individual episode pages by adding more categories to them. I was thinking that we could do this (please let me know if it's too much):
- Episode #: (name of episode)
- Summary: (short summary of episode)
- Location: (location of case)
- Quote: (first quote of episode)
- M/O: (mode of operation by which the unsub is using)
- Victimology: (who is being targeted)
- Profile: (how did the team profile the unsub)
- Unsub: (name of unsub)
- Shot taken: (who made the final move, whether they shot, cuffed, or let the unsub get away)
- Quote: (final quote)
Transcripts Edit
So, I've been looking around for Criminal Minds transcripts, but they don't seem to exist anywhere. Does anyone know if they do exist at all? If not, I'm thinking of undertaking the ordeal that would be transcribing it all. -- N, March 10, 2014

Criminal Minds Game Edit
Heard about this today. [1] -- Lord Crayak 23:21, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
Sweet! This game will also make an excellent article and give us the opportunity to create a new category, not to mention a new infobox! Can't wait. I hope it's the same style as the CSI games (but with DX10 graphics) ---Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
I've been thinking of tweaking the templates to make them look a little more exciting. If you think this is a good idea, check some of the other wikis and let me know what style you think looks cool. The copy/paste code will be the same, so none of the pages will have to be changed. On another note, I need to know what fields would be appropriate for a game template. I've come up with the following:
- image
- title
- release date
- developer
- publisher
- genre (fps, point and click, etc.)<----not sure what the field should be called
- platform (pc, xbox 360, etc.)
- rating

Top Ten Criminals Edit
How about unsubs who are in more than one episode? The Footpath Killer, Karl Arnold, Randall Garner, Tobias Hankel, Frank Breitkopf, Jason Clark Battle, George Foyet and Lucas Turner. That's only eight, but it shouldn't be too hard to pick out two more (who could be replaced if more non one-shot villains appear). -- Lord Crayak 19:32, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
Billy Flynn and The Replicator complete the list :D -- IDon'tHaveANameYet
Hotch vs. FoyetEdit
Here are some good snaps of the final battle, plus a pic of Haley dead. See what you guys can do with them.
---Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
12/9 EpisodeEdit
I missed most of last night's episode. I did see the scene where Hotch was putting the tie on Jack. Pretty sad. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
New CategoryEdit
I created a new category: Criminal Protagonists. It will cover people such as Arzeny Lysowsky, who are criminals, but are not considered "bad guys" in regards to the case at hand. I will peruse the wiki to find others that fit into this category, and would appreciate some help :) --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Under Animal's name, there's two: Bobby Q and Playboy. Although Bobby Q was a victim too. Under Ian Coakley's, there's one: Gil Bonner (although he was innocent). Under Marvin Doyle, there's all of his victims. Under Charles Holcombe, there's Steven, his accomplice/servant. Under Johnny McHale, there's the 23rd Street Killers. Under Eddie Mays, there's a meth addict initially suspected of the crime (definitely a maybe). Under Tony Mecacci, there's Judge Schuller, Ray Finnegan, and the mobster, Sean. Under Vincent Perotta, there's MIchael Russo, his "boss". Under Paul Silvano, there's the group of guys who went to Galicia, Spain and the unnamed men who helped Paul Silvano carry out his "exorcisms". Under the Wilkinsons, there's their wives who killed them to protect their unborn children. Under Jackson Cally, there are his five cult members. Under Benjamin Cyrus, you could include Jesse, his teenage wife (since she blew everyone up) and the guy who he outed to take power. With Michael Earlson, there were two names mentioned by the team in order for Agent Katie Cole to figure out which one abducted the boy (one of which was Michael) and the principal, Hayden Rawlings. Under Susan Jacobs, there's Richard (who's a pedophile) and the unknown man who killed a girl a week earlier. Under Danny Murphy, there's his mom, his dad, and Detective Bill Lancaster who covered up his brother's death by blaming a pedophile. Under Ryan Phillips, there's his followers Douglas Silverman and Coleman Taylor and Lindsey Vaughan and her father, Jack. Under Jamal Abaza, there's the members of the Omega Cell. And, last but not least, (whoo, there's been A LOT) under Chad Brown, there's Dr. Nichols. Also, I seem to have passed over the guy who wanted revenge on his old company, with the help of some lady that poisoned candy and envelopes.....

- Excellent work! Feel free to write them if you wish, using the Notable Character Template. Ask Lord Crayak for photos. He has the series on DVD, and can get screencaps. Go with Characters--->Criminal Protagonists for categories. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Would Richard Slessman and Mason Turner count? -- Lord Crayak 01:11, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
- An "Accomplices" category could work... some of the guys listed by Iffy88 seem to fit that, plus some others (the Canardo's friend Joey from The Perfect Storm, the Fyodor guy from Honor Among Thieves, the dad from Damaged, the manager from The Performer, etc).
Sound good! Just remember, that means more pages, and possibly a new portal! --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Spin-Off Tidbit Edit
Casting call is available, gives some info on the new characters. [2] -- Lord Crayak 19:51, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- That page appears to have been deleted. That sucks. We could've gotten started on some new char pages. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Eh? Still works for me. Here's the info:
Looks like the Criminal Minds Spin-off is going ahead with at least a pilot. It currently does not have an official name.
- Exec. Producer: Mark Gordon
- Exec. Producer: Deborah Spera
- Writer/Exec. Producer: Chris Mundy
- Director: Richard Shepard
- Shoot Dates: Feb. 16th - Mar. 5th
[COOPER] 45-50.. all ethnicities. The team leader, he's fierce in his loyalty and mysterious in his daily life. A former star profiler in the BAU, he's been off the radar for the last eight years - leaving only a trail of rumors and legend in his wake. He runs a team that exists outside of FBI bureaucracy and is intensely loyal to him.
[GINA] 28-32, all ethnicities. She's strong, intelligent. Raised in a tough neighborhood in Baltimore, she managed to avoid the streets. Got straight-A's. Was the first person in her family to ever go to college. Recruited from school to the FBI, she finished at the top of her class at Quantico but was destined to work deep cover in the same streets she'd managed to escape. Her father died before he could learn that she hadn't wasted her life. After she quit the FBI, Cooper talked her back by inviting her onto his team.
[MICK] 30, all ethnicities. Formerly of the British Special Forces, though he was discharged for reasons that remain classified. Expert sniper. Survivalist. He was educated at Cambridge but his demeanor is more charmingly rakish than posh. He's as adept verbally as he is physically and he knows it sptv050769. Part puppy, part guard dog.
[PROPHET] 30s, African American. A former gang-banger from L.A. He did seven years in prison for drug trafficking but found Jesus in jail. He's street-smart, connected but also incredibly dexterous at quoting scripture. He feels this unit is his chance at redemption - a way to direct his street skills toward a noble end.
-- Lord Crayak 03:47, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
Sounds like it'll be awhile. The Mick character sounds interesting. -Sec_1971 23:15, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
Spin Off CategoriesEdit
Does anyone have any ideas on how the characters, criminals, etc. should be categorized once the new show comes out. Should we create a whole new category tree? For example: XX Characters--> XX Main Characters--> XX Criminals--> etc. I'd like to keep separate portals for the characters of each show, but I think the categories for serial killers, etc. that already exist for CM can also be used to categorize the new show's unsub. We could create a whole new XX Characters category and a XX main character and XX minor character and keep the same criminal categories for the unsubs. Have I confused anyone yet? I think I just confused my self. It will be a lot easier once we know what the show would be called. Maybe it be something like: Criminal Minds: Seattle or Criminal Minds: Los Angeles or maybe the show won't even have the Criminal Minds title in it. I'm rambling. If you have any ideas, let me know. I have a headache now, I'm going to take a nap :) --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- With a headache, a nap is a very good idea :). I don't know about the title, methinks it's still a work in progress, but based on what I've read it's going to be a different group of people out of the FBI bounds, so their working methods probably are going to be different too and what are they working about it's possible that have very little to do with the cases from the mothership. On top of all that, I read they have every intention to present them in a CM episode, something like the 19-20, so then we'll get the chance to take a peak at what they are going to be like, and the producers will get their chance to evaluate if they are well enough liked to make a show by themselves. And as I'm starting to ramble too, see you later. Mvpl 15:36, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
Roy WoodridgeEdit
Mvpl has made a good point about Roy Woodridge. Though the BAU officially classifies him as a serial killer, his short cooling-off periods make it more likely that he is instead a spree killer of sorts. Think of Darrin Call and his one-victim killing sprees. What does everyone else think? --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Well, his cooling off period was really just him hiding from what he percieved were enemy forces while awaiting rescue, and he really didn't have a psychological compulsion to kill, since he only did so when he felt he was in danger. Plus, it seemed he could've gone into a frenzy at any point, which was the major concern when they were preparing to make the arrest. -- Lord Crayak 01:51, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
Mason Turner Edit
Why is he in the Minor Characters list insted of the Serial Killers one??? He couldn't use a weapon directly, so he used his brother insted, that doesn't make him any less guilty, he's the instigator, the mastermind and the controller, the idea to begin with and thirst of knoweledge were his. They thought he was going to walk free because they were going to have problems probing it after Lucas death, but they were sure he was the guilty party in the whole sordid affair. Mvpl 17:01, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
The same could be said of Boyd Schuller. Wierdperson31 00:02, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
Another Spin Off Tidbit Edit
The upcoming Criminal Minds spin-off, set to begin production in February, has found itself a director, and no other than the same guy who helmed the original Criminal Minds pilot that aired some four years ago.
Richard Shepard, who directed "Extreme Aggressor" on CBS' Criminal Minds, has signed on to handle the show's spin-off as well, or at least the pilot episode, Variety reports.
"The idea of coming back and doing this spinoff was exciting," Shepard said. "I was proud of that show, and I haven't directed a procedural since Criminal Minds. They came to me with this great opportunity."
Just like NCIS: Los Angeles, the spin-off pilot will also double as an episode from the mothership. Called a backdoor pilot, the branch-out will center on another group of FBI profiles.
"I'm not ready yet to commit to doing a TV show for five years," he said. "This gives me the freedom to look at projects already in the system and come on with a fresh pair of eyes. So far that's worked out for me... I love doing pilots; they're like mini-movies. You get to help cast a show and set a look to it."
So far, four characters need to be cast for the Criminal Minds spin-off - Cooper, the team leader; Gina, an undercover agent; Mick, a firearms specialist; and Prophet, a born-again ex-con.
- From TV Guide:
- Got any new dirt on the Criminal Minds spin-off? — Cal
- ADAM: Sam Cooper, the leader of the new team, comes with baggage: A young boy died on his watch because he didn't follow his gut. In the crossover episode, I hear that Hotch & Co. bend the rules to help Cooper redeem himself.

Spin-off - Forest Whitaker to Star?Edit
Oscar winner Forest Whitaker is in final negotiations to star on CBS' potential "Criminal Minds" spinoff.
The project, which revolves around a new group of profilers who work outside the FBI bureaucracy, will be introduced on an episode of "Criminal Minds" in the spring.
Whitaker will play Cooper, the squad leader. Described as dynamic, mysterious, charming and a father figure to the rest of the team, he is a former star profiler in the Behavioral Unit who has been off the radar for the past eight years.
"Minds" executive producer Chris Mundy wrote the planted spinoff, from a story by him and "Minds" executive producer/showrunner Ed Bernero. Richard Shepard is directing.
Like the original series, the potential spinoff is being produced by ABC Studios, the Mark Gordon Co. and CBS Studios.
Producers of the new show zeroed in on Whitaker early and finally moved close to locking him in Monday night after lengthy on- and off- negotiations.
As part of the deal, Whitaker is expected to get a producing credit.
On TV, the WME-repped Whitaker, who won an Oscar in 2007 for "The Last King of Scotland," most recently had arcs on FX's "The Shield" and NBC's "ER."

Delay in Episodes Edit
Heard the next episode (which I think is the one Matthew Gray Gubler is directing) is being delayed (due to the 2010 Winter Olympics, or something) until March 3rd. -- Lord Crayak 03:18, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
- The date is correct, as per his own twitter: "the episode i directed is called "Mosley Lane" it airs march 3rd and stars: Bud Cort, Beth Grant, Annie Cusack, Brook Smith, Toby Huss and
- ...3 of the most talented, as of yet unknown, child actors in the world
- yeah... i don't joke around when it comes to casting. only the best in the world will do. wait till you see the kids... breathtaking."
- If you read all the entries with references to this episode he sounds more hyper than usual :) Mvpl 13:06, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Toby Huss? Doesn't he do the voice of Cotton Hill? --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- By name, I cannot place any of them. But you where asking about the crossover epi... they said they'll start shooting on February, 17. From the casting call, I know the 17th epi is going to be named "A solitary man", and it was a different casting call than that for the crossover Mvpl 17:02, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
Just for fun, everyone list an actor or actors you would like to see play criminals on the show.

- Nick Stahl --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Gary Dourdan (every good character in another show must be counteracted in this show) - Mvpl 22:36, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
- Carry Elwes( Kiss the Girls, Saw I) - but then it would also be fun to have Morgan Freeman in the same episode! Maybe a reversal of roles... consulting the retired expert? This is a great idea since the show has tipped its hat to this movie in a number of episodes. - toonew2two
- Jenna Elfman - played Darhma from Darhma and Greg in which Thomas Gibson was Greg. It would be fun to bring back any of the actors that the CM stars have already acted with in other productions. Which then of course is another nod to Carry Elwes... but how could Gideon come back? Have Elwes' character ask after him? - toonew2two
- Some of the tween/teen show actors might be fun... Selena Gomez, Jason Dolley - toonew2two
Guest ActorsEdit
While putting together the information of some of the guest actors I've come to discover them as people and as professionals, and some of them are downright fascinating, and very few know that because to get the data has been a chore as there it's not a single place where you can get everything for most of them. This could be the fist website with a "complete" page dedicated to them and if so, would it be alright to list the guest actors in the episodes pages? I was thinking below the quotes Lord Crayak has been collecting, and just the actor names (because adding the character they play could negate the "no spoilers" rule for those pages). This way it would be easy for eveybody to locate the pages, even for those less "wiki practiced" - Mvpl 17:10, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
Related pages??Edit
I've been checking their appearance in several pages and neither I'm a happy camper with them. For anybody well versed on CM are prone to make them think we don't know what we are writing about and anybody not very familiar with the show is going to get confused. And they are too big on top of all that - Mvpl 17:08, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Joekido 07:49, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
Backdoor pilot, essentially. -- Lord Crayak 12:18, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
So were going to have a spin-off taking place in California? I see
I wonder how that'll work once the spin-off arrives
Joekido 12:29, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
Looks good. Once we know the official title, we can get started. We'll use the character portals for both shows, just separating the two shows instead of creating portals for both...unless everybody thinks new portals would be better. The shows' characters will be categorized separately, of course. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- From a little article on the NY Post about the spin-off: As "Minds" executive producer Chris Mundy explains, agent Sam Cooper (Whitaker) will be a long-time BAU agent, who left the FBI for a mysterious eight-year period, but returned 10 months ago.
- "His caveat is that he wants to be able to handpick any team he wants and to operate as far out of the bureaucracy as possible," Mundy says, which gives them "a slightly different style than the original."
- The new BAU team will include an agent straight out of the FBI academy (Beau Garrett), an ex-British Special Forces soldier (Matt Ryan) and an "FBI agent pending" who's done six years in jail (Michael Kelly).
- They'll leave the serial killers to the original "Minds" crew, focusing instead on cases like human trafficking and assassination plots.
- I don't know what to think anymore :) - Mvpl 14:45, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Sounds interesting, at least. Good to hear it'll be dealing with different types of crimes, instead of basically the same kinds as the regular BAU. -- Lord Crayak 18:42, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
From Talk PageEdit
So, I was thinking while watching last weeks episode about the spin-off. Firstly I think JJ may be apart of it. I don't want to lose her on CM but it seems as though she is losing the stomach and the will to continue with the team. It effects her so much more now. Also I think that the spin off will be about highway serial killers, I know I am not the only person who picked up on that hint. Either it will be another story line or it will be another show. It seems weird that they would introduce an entirely new data base used to track SC's and then just leave it at one episode... Does anyone else think JJ seems incredibly uncomfortable?
- First, Ed Bernero has stated that it's going to be a differente show, with a different cast altogether, so JJ remains where she is. Next episode is the backdoor, a means to introduce them to the CM viewers, just that. And second, please, sign your posts; it's a bothersome not to know who you are talking with - Mvpl 20:42, March 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Thirdly, this is a talk page itself and doesn't need a talk page of its own. Place any discussions on this page. And yes, sign your posts after creating a user account. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
I've stumbled upon a blog with plenty of people talking shop about CM and something has caught my attention. There were complaints about one scene in Cradle to Grave: when Hotch and Strauss are talking in his office, once the POV changes to JJ is next to impossible to hear their voices, so it's impossible to understand what they are saying. I've checked my copy of the episode and neither can I... with the original audio; the spanish audio is crystal clear. Anyone interested in knowing what they are saying? If so, maybe there are more scenes with the same problem in other episodes you may want for me to check? -Mvpl 23:24, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
Real Life Criminals PortalEdit
Should we keep the real life portal strictly killers, or add other types of criminals, too. I think it would be better to it just killers. Thoughts???? --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I believe that I'm not going to be a great help to create these pages, I just haven't the info, but if CM doesn't keep sctrictly to killers, why should us? The 'Criminals' in the page title is a dead give away :) - Mvpl 21:52, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
- This is probably a given, but I feel I should ask anyway, for some reason. The wiki is just gonna cover criminals who are actually mentioned in the show, right? -- Lord Crayak 23:19, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
- Just asking to make sure. -- Lord Crayak 14:28, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
Just my two cent worth - and I am brand new here so between that and inflation it isn't worth much! I love to see a place where the research has been done on real (show real and real real) criminals to make it easy for people who are interested in writing fan fiction to do some research. - toonew2two

Bit of a newsplosion - a veritable ton of sites are reporting AJ Cook is gonna be written off, and Paget Brewster might be demoted from main to recurring, if she isn't removed entirely, come Season Six. -- Lord Crayak 02:05, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
Well, that blows. Who's better than JJ at dealing with the police and media? And Prentiss, she's a much better agent than Greenaway ever was. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
OK, my guys! For the moment, the news are confirmed and there is a massive response of outrage in the works. If you want to say your piece there are two main places to do so.
- First you can sign a petition here: petition online to save cmwomen
- Second, the CM producers usually read this blog so they have collected the news and opened up an space for fans opinions and it's important that the numbers grow: CM Fanatics
If you think this decision is sexist, idiotic or both, go there because it's possible to make a difference - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
DONE DEAL: AJ Cook will be in just 2 episodes next season to wrap up JJ storyline and Paget Brewster has signed a contract and Emily Prentiss will be in 77% of the next season episodes. I just hope that now they don't bring anybody new to mess things even more... - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Heard rumors that they actually were bringing in someone new... and hopefully JJ gets a halfway decent send-off, and they don't just kill her or something. -- Lord Crayak 20:10, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
I just noticed that the Notable Unsubs section has been removed from Wikipedia's Criminal Minds article, and the link to our Wiki is no longer there. No biggie, but that's kinda shitty. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- The link was took down in December, apparently we don't meet the Wikipedia guidelines to be worthy of being there: not enough editors neither have info that couldn't be put over there... I need an emoticon to show my eye-roll! - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Wasn't aware of the link removal, but I did know about the notable unsubs removal. Someone kept trying to cram in every Villain of the Week, with most of the info being copied and pasted from here. Instead of just reverting the edits, someone decided it was best to just remove the entire section. -- Lord Crayak 19:29, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
- I was actually the one who started the Notable Unsubs section on that page. At first, I just included Unsubs who had some major impact on the storyline and ones who appeared in more than one episode, such as Jason Clark Battle, Tobias Hankel, Frank Brietkopf, The Footpath Killer and later George Foyet. -- Jpx400 01:03, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

- Looks pretty cool. -- Lord Crayak 19:29, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
Wiki LogoEdit
After talking at the Wiki page on Facebook that we could do with a new wiki logo, and after being out of useful ideas for months, Sec's picture inspired me {C}to play with the original CM logo. I know which one I like best... and you??? - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
{C}Oooh! I like the one on the right. The left one is kinda freaky. :) --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Any way you can soften the edges on the fonts? Otherwise, it's great. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I know it's freaky, but I've found it funny too and wanted to share ;). My option is the second one too. About the edges, let me experiment a little bit more, maybe eliminating the double edge will do the trick (I'm trying a new program) :)- Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I've uploaded a new version without the black edge. Not much more I can do, as is a too small file and to take away the whole filter would steal part of its charm :D - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
The words underneath Criminal Minds are kind of hard to read. What software are you using? If you send it to me, maybe I can clean it up. I have photoshop, so if you have the .psd or .pdd file you can eMail it to me. I want to use it, but we need to make it easier to read. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I've been using Gimp-2.6, so I'll see if I can save it with one of those extensions. The distortion of those words comes with the filter that gives all of them that "metallic air". I've tried to let them out of it, but they clash too badly; the main problem it's they are too small; a size 9 font, or what's the same, a "i" is just 3px wide (I've made the whole thing from scratch). 219x155px it's a very tiny area to work :( - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
The font isn't available in a larger format? That's Gimp for you :) I don't use it. There isn't a stable 64-bit version available and it really doesn't do everything I need it to. I'm a Photoshop guy. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Sec, if I use a bigger font size, I'll need a bigger work area. 216x155 sounds a bell? :p
- I've tried to compose it using a bigger playground, but the result after reducing the size it's even worse. I'd decided to let it like now is 'cause everybody knows what it says; if somebody comes looking for CM info, I'm pretty sure they have seen the show, and they can find the original fairly easy here... - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Antialias the font layer for the main logo and just use a different font for "Behavioral analysis unit" and "Quantico". Or you could try not using that filter for the smaller fonts. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Sorry for the delay, yesterday it was getting too late over here :)
- I've uploaded a new version, and I think it's readable now... Thoughts? - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
New Skin problemsEdit
As written by our friends at GTA wiki, who have moved to their own domain:
There are a number of new features with Oasis, but also a number of problems this causes. These include:
- Wikia will remove our CSS customization options. All we can customize are a pre-determined set of colors and backgrounds. We are unable to have our distinctive banner or similar big logos or customizations.
- The content area is quite small, and filled with advertisements. The terms of service prevents us from altering this at all.
- This skin removes Grand Theft Wiki's identity, and just makes us look like part of one central Wikia site
- This skin and the new terms of service prioritize advertising over content, even more than Monaco
- The narrow fixed-width layout (630px) breaks many of our pages and puts content last
- The skin still doesn't work properly, with many features and pages broken. It will destroy many of our pages, and it will take weeks or months to fix them
- The entire top section of every page is about Wikia and linking to other Wikia sites. The Grand Theft Wiki logo (thus, our logo) and our navigation is placed part-way down the page, making it a lot less obvious
- The talk page button is now hidden. It's a tiny icon near the search bar, completely separate from the edit button.
Wikia claims that they have consulted the community about these changes. While there has been a beta test running, they have only fixed problems rather than listened to the genuine negative feedback from hundreds of users.
The Grand Theft Wiki staff fundamentally disagree with Wikia's priority of putting advertising and money before content and the community. It is the disregard for our opinion and the disrespect to our community and our content that is driving our upset.
--Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
The New SkinEdit
How about the general color? Does everyone want a dark background with light text, or vise-versa? --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Random Image TemplateEdit
Where can we put this? --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Or we change the layout of the second half of the main page (your picture doesn't move), or no idea. Have you seen any wiki with something you like? - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I was thinking of putting to the right of the big link box. I'm not sure how that would look, but I think the front page would look more advanced if there was more "side to side" action going on with the layout. That would mean chopping the header of the link box by 1/4. The random image box is only 245px, but is about the same length as the link box (with the current text). Not sure. --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I was thinking something similar. Maybe we don't need so many links in the main page... How about we put just links to the portals for everything except the seasons and the main characters?? If I manage not to be interrupted every five minutes, I'll try to put something together in my sandbox for us to play before making any definite change - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I'm sorry, am I interrupting you? :) --Sec_1971 TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Oops! I hadn't seen you! :D
- Go check my sandbox and we can compare notes?? - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Game Info Edit
Just found the official development blog for the PC game. 1 -- Lord Crayak 04:28, January 21, 2011 (UTC)
JJ Coming Back Edit
...For one episode, according to Spoilertv. -- Lord Crayak 01:53, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Yep. Episode 618, "Lauren", directed by Gubler and last episode of Prentiss (at least, for now). Everything confirmed by nearly all the actors with twitter accounts ;) - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
AJ/JJ is coming back as a full time regular with a 2 year contract!!!! :D - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Ahhhhh sooooo excited!!!! Omigosh, yes, yes, yes. Now, the question is, WHEN does the lovely JJ come back to us? Iffy88 01:35, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
- The lovely JJ will come back as soon as THIS season finale (she will be listed as guest star) - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Killers Listed as Victims of Themselves Edit
This has kinda bugged me... but if an unsub commits (or attempts) suicide, should they really be listed under the Known Victims section? -- Lord Crayak 00:06, February 14, 2011 (UTC)
I personally don't think so. --Jpx400 04:48, February 14, 2011 (UTC)
- Neither do I, even though is a very tricky question as some go the suicide route to avoid getting caugh while with others is not as clean cut, let's say the Angel Maker ep... Don't know if I've been of any help, but I've the same doubts as you :) - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Well, I would think that stating that they are deceased in their little info box and stating they committed suicide in their article would work. Otherwise we could just say Deceased (Suicide/Suicide by Cop/Assisted Suicide) in their little info box. Iffy88 01:18, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
Victims by ProxyEdit
I was just wondering who started listing "Victims by Proxy" on certain criminal pages, like Lucy and Ian Doyle, and from where they got that idea. --Jpx400 09:10, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
- Excelent question! It was our anonymous contributor, the one that is capable of doing very good things for this wiki but seems unable to open an account so it's possible to communicate with him/her directly!!!
- About the "Victims by Proxy" list, I'm feeling ambivalent. In one hand I find it redundant/unnecessary, but on the other I think it serves to differentiate the criminal direct deeds from the ones that the same criminal forces/compels others to do in his/her benefit. I'm being of little help, but maybe others had a more definite opinion...??? - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I brought up the question because I suspect this anonymous contributor, who appears to have become this wiki's personal "UnSub", got that idea from the CSI Wiki's article about serial killer Nate Haskell, which I have contributed to extensively, including the "Victims by Proxy" list, referring to the people his followers and/or accomplices killed. --Jpx400 11:48, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
- You may be right. I only check the CSI wiki from time to time as CSI sans Grissom lost most of its appeal for me, so I hadn't noticed the coincidence.
- If you like the idea (it was yours! :p) I'm perfectly OK with it. And I definitely like calling him/her "UnSub"!! :) - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- I made the Victims by Proxy list on Haskell's page because he appears in three consecutive seasons and is directly and indirectly responsible for numerous murders. The list covers people who didn't die by his own hand, but were killed either by his copycats or his other followers on his orders. In the case of Ian Doyle, he may not have killed all the victims of Valhalla and Lauren himself, but he was part of the groups that did and that, in my opinion, makes it more than just "by proxy". Charles Manson didn't actually kill any victims attributed to him personally; his followers did all the dirty work, but he was found guilty of murder by proxy because he was the one who instructed his followers to do so. BTW, the same "wiki UnSub" apparently has also been active on the SB wiki and has written some pretty good articles almost immediately after the episodes were aired. --Jpx400 12:55, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
Just Something I Threw Together Edit
So yeah, I made this on imdb while bored, thought you guys might be interested in it. -- Lord Crayak 22:48, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Wow! You have left me nearly speechless... Impressive! :) - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
- Thanks, still looking for more. Might also do spree killers and mass murderers... eventually. -- Lord Crayak 22:46, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
PAGET/EMILY is back!Edit
It's been officially announced that Paget Brewster is coming back to CM as Emily Prentiss!!
At the same time has been announced that the option CBS had over Nichols' contract hasn't been picked so Seaver will left the BAU. - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Yay for Prentiss! Sad for Seaver, though... -- Lord Crayak 11:01, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
I'm guessing Seaver's storyline will end with her leaving the BAU and becoming a full Agent. I look forward to seeing how the team will handle Prentiss coming back from the dead. -- Jpx400 12:28, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Not sad to see Seaver gone. Sad for Rachel, she seems a funny, witty and caring woman that got stuck in the middle of a horrible mess without any good way out.
- Regarding Prentiss come back from the "death", it can be very insightful into the minds of all the team members that don't know she's really alive, if well done of course.
- BTW, Thomas Gibson is still negotiating a new contract. Don't forget that we haven't all our team secured yet! - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
From what I've heard, they didn't even bother to tell Nichols she was being let go, she found out through the internet... ouch. -- Lord Crayak 00:19, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
THOMAS/HOTCH HAS NEW CONTRACT!!!Edit
Finally it's official, our fearless team leader has a new contract for the next 2 years!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
Now they're rappersEdit
I'm not even going to try and sell it to you... too busy laughing my head off! But if you haven't seen this, it's a must!
LMAO, this is hilarious. However, why they ever let this happen, I'll never know. The lyrics...wow. Iffy88 03:08, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
LOL! They did it ON PURPOSE! This year they've several new interns managing the new Twitter account, the new blog, helping in research,... and a couple of them came up with the song lyrics as a joke. If I understood correctly, when Thomas Gibson read them... Let's just say that it was his idea to make the vid and everybody agreed between laughs! It's a gift for the fans, specially the ones that supported them via Twitter, Tumblr, Blogs, Wikis,... during last year mayhem ;-)) - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin)
S7 portraits as main character imagesEdit
I thought putting the s7 official portraits as the main images for characters would be a good idea, and I've already gone ahead and done so for all the main cast except Morgan and Reid, who are locked. Does someone who can edit those want to change them too? PhiveDead 18:42, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
Real Criminals SourcesEdit
Came across this page today. It's a collection of summaries of serial killers compiled by the Department of Psychology of Radford University. I've used them as source in some of my articles, might prove useful to others on this wiki. --Jpx400 22:50, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
Ideas for your own Episodes Edit
Thought I'd spark up some kind of conversation here. Some ideas I had (a holiday killer, ones who pieces together a body) have been done, but I had another one about a small town where an unsub assumes the guise of some boogeyman figure, like the Jersey Devil, Bunny Man, or La Llorona. Maybe have some kind of Blair Witch Project-esque opening. -- Lord Crayak 02:24, April 5, 2012 (UTC)
MATTHEW GRAY GUBLER HAS NEW CONTRACTEdit
As happened last year with Thomas, CBS & Matthew have too nearly waited for the last day of vacation to finish the contract negotiations, but finally is done and he's signed for the next 2 seasons!

Hey guys, I put a quiz together on Sporcle using images from this wiki. You just have to click on the name of the unsub according to the number on the pictures. Give it a shot!

MGG Directing Episode 10?Edit
On Twitter, Matthew Gray Gubler and another Actress havre said that Matthew is directing Ep10 of Season 8. Just going to say that.
There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 20:47, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Matthew Gray Gubler will direct two episodes this season, 810 & 820. And making his debut as a Criminal Minds director, Thomas Gibson will direct episode 815. Sometimes Erica Messer likes to play tatletale too! :D - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin) 20:56, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
They're still rappersEdit
Yep, they've gone and done it again... LMAO!!!
- Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin) 23:21, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Guest Star for the season finale?Edit
I recently heard that Mark Hamill (Also known as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars) is going to join the Criminal Minds characters as a guest star in the season finale. Here is an article proving that I didn't make this up.
Is this true? There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 21:04, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
PS: Also, the new rapping video (See above) is awesome!!!!
- Not only that, I read somewhere that one of the BAU is going to become a victim in this..... Which is kinda worrying me. Ever since the Replicator was announced, my gut instinct has said thus. I am just praying that the BAU will make it out of the situation unscathed.... There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 18:58, April 13, 2013 (UTC)
- I've heard rumors that Erin Strauss is the unlucky one. In Carbon Copy, she said a statement that involved "Over my dead body", which people have been saying was supposed to be a foreshadowing of sorts. UnSub-Zero (talk) 00:33, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Heard that Rumour also, but I don't think it is Strauss. My gut isn't saying Strauss, as I think it'd be a cop out really- the CBS writers would be like "Let's kill a character in the show. Oh, let's kill the one everyone hates!" Yeah, not much emotion will come out of that. Maybe the fact that the Strauss dying rumours exist disprove the theory, as the writers would be trying to quash those, and yet they are still rife. They would want us to suspect the person who ISN'T going to die, and the person they kill of will be the one NO ONE suspects. Though the fact that the episode before the finale is called "The Brothers Hotchner", plus my own gut instinct, makes me suspect that Hotch is going to be the victim. There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 17:09, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
- I suspect one of the regulars is going to leave the show of their own volition, but not Thomas/Hotch... There have been several clues lately that lead to that conclusion, even though NOTHING has leaked/been said. We're doomed to wait until May 22! - Mvpl TALK (CM Wiki Admin) 17:37, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Heard that Rumour also, but I don't think it is Strauss. My gut isn't saying Strauss, as I think it'd be a cop out really- the CBS writers would be like "Let's kill a character in the show.

- Unless we can find a really good hacker.... >:) NOT SAYING THAT I CAN HACK. Also not saying to anyone "Do it, hack into their computers" as for one thing, it is illegal. And, they could be doing a JJ, where they write the character/actor out of the show by killing them. We don't know yet, so May 22nd will be in everyone's diaries. There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 17:41, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I know that Reid's not an option. MGG made a deal to stay with the show until at least Season Nine. UnSub-Zero (talk) 18:23, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Thank heavens for that! Reid has already lost his girlfriend this season, don't want to watch him die as well.... ;(, and also ruling out Blake, as she just joined, so it is unlikely that she leaves. So, that leaves Hotch, Rossi, Morgan, Garcia, or JJ. I have already give my opinion on it being Strauss, which is why I have not included her, even though they would be performing fan service by bumping her off! So, which one is the most likely, In our opinions? I stated Hotch, but it could be anyone. There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 18:34, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, actually, Ashley Seaver was a series regular for only almost half of Season Six, so actually, I think that Blake's still over hot water here. UnSub-Zero (talk) 19:02, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
- I did say unlikely, and I thought about her when writing about Blake, but I still think that it is unlikely, purely because they aren't in the year of mayhem like they were in Season 6, and also I presume the actress has signed a contract. They are not going to just introduce a character and kill her a season later. Yes, most people hate her (I actually like her, but I've read fanfic where she has been killed/turned into an unsub) but I think she is here to stay for a while unless, of course, she is an assisstant of the Replicator (Unlikely, but still could be possible). I will stick with my thoughts that it is either Hotch, Rossi, Morgan, Garcia or JJ. There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 15:09, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Well said. But I still have my beliefs. Only the season finale will answer our questions! UnSub-Zero (talk) 22:11, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
Season 9- What we know so far.Edit
Well, it looks like there will be a ninth season, as Erica Messer has signed on, and Gibson, Mantegna and Moore are in negotiations, and Tripplehorn and Gubler have another season to go, so what do we know?
Firstly, it looks like Season 9 (if it does occur) will be without JJ AND Garcia, as both are threatening to quit the show over the pay.
Secondly, I guess the first couple of episodes will be centred around the Replicator, and if Vangness and Cook BOTH leave (which may happen) then I guess they'll die then.
Yep, overall, bittersweet. :( There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 16:32, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Anyways, on the season 9 front, Erica Messer has signed on, which means that we just have the actors.... :D There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 20:54, May 2, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I hope JJ and Garcia don't leave the show. If they do, the show's as good as dead, unless they can give Reid a little steamy scene just like they did with Morgan in Snake Eyes. XD
- Anyhow, if JJ and Garcia DO leave, then I hope they don't die. Maybe JJ wants more family time, Garcia...not sure. Obviously, the Replicator will still be an issue for the team, and this'll lead to certain outcomes. Well, we're probably gonna have to wait and see what develops! UnSub-Zero (talk) 22:11, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Criminal minds HAS been renewed for season 9 and JJ and Garcia are staying on- their pay check has increased so they are staying! :D There is a time for all things, and the end of a thing is better then the beginning. (talk) 19:30, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
- HOORAY! :D UnSub-Zero (talk) 00:07, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Sony's TV SideView and Criminal Minds wikiaEdit
Hi Criminal Minds! I'm Andrew, the technical community manager here at Wikia. About a month ago we partnered with Sony to launch TV SideView, which integrates content from your wikia into an Android app. If you haven't given it a shot yet, I recommend it! It's available for most Android devices and it's another way to be proud of your hard work.
Your wikia (among others) has been receiving a good number of visits from the app itself, and that's why I'm here. My job as technical community manager is to make sure our back-end work here in the Wikia offices meshes flawlessly with your front-end content. And from our angle, your community is doing a fantastic job sorting and developing your wikia.
Thank you so much - users like you are what make Wikia the center of the social universe for fandom.

Portable InfoboxesEdit
Hello! I'm Xemnas, and I'm representing Wikia's Vanguard team. We're users who volunteer to help communities adopt to new technologies and features, like content portability. We've identified your community as a high priority for introducing the Portable Infobox tool, which has a lot of benefits for your community. Rather than get into all of the metrics and numbers (though I can present some of those if you're interested), I'll keep it simple. I'd like upgrade the Infobox templates themselves so that they can be accessible on any current and future platform. Maintaining them if you want to make changes should be very simple. I'm going to add some Drafts of Infoboxes in Special:Insights/nonportableinfoboxes, which you can modify or approve early if you'd like. There are guides and resources on the Portability Hub for the structure and styles that can help you modify them. The Infoboxes will not lose its essence, adapt as much as possible of as they are now if they wish, which will only have more benefits and they may be adapted to any device. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thanks! --Apricot (talk) 07:03, March 30, 2017 (UTC)

Remains of Korean War vet returning to Indiana
The remains of an Indiana man killed when a military transport airplane crashed into an Alaska mountain in 1952 while serving in the Air Force during the Korea War have been recovered.
The Herald Bulletin reports Howard Martin will be buried July 12 with full military honors in Elwood City Cemetery, alongside his parents.
All 52 aboard the C-124 Globemaster were killed on the night of Nov. 22, 1952. So far, 17 of the men have been identified, including 11 Air Force members.
Martin grew up in Dundee, about 45 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
Military officials say the remaining 35 service members have not yet been recovered from the wreckage, and the site will be monitored for possible future recovery efforts.

About MeAny day I can create is a happy one. Modeling is one of my many artistic outlets.
My home in Brooklyn is available for shooting. There's lots of natural light, tall ceilings, hard wood floors, and rooftop access. Some walls are white, others change color as I paint them. Plenty of space, some vintage furniture, lots of atmosphere - I love shooting here, just ask.
I'm also an experienced makeup artist and hairstylist. My closet is extensive.
I'm open minded and easy going, no drama.
Above all, I'm an artist and a professional. Respecting your time and talent is my priority, and I like to work with people that feel the same way.
If you're asking to shoot me nude, and we haven't met before, there's a chance I might bring an escort. If this is a problem, let me know why.
Taking paid assignments and limited trade that I feel will benefit my portfolio.

Roasted-Tomato Soup with Herbed Croutons
Leslie Mackie, owner of the Macrina Bakery & Café in Seattle, began her career working as a chef with Biba owner Lydia Shire in Boston. In 1993, she opened Macrina, which has become famous for its rustic European-style breads as well as savory dishes like this soup, which evokes the simple pleasure of a grilled ham sandwich with tomato.
- Servings: 6
- 2 pounds medium plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 pound smoked ham, cut into matchsticks
- 5 cups Basic Chicken Stock or canned low-sodium broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced herbs, such as parsley, rosemary and thyme
- 3 cups sourdough bread in 1-inch cubes
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 250°. Arrange the tomatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet, cut side down. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the skins shrivel. Let the tomatoes cool slightly, then peel and seed them over the baking sheet and transfer them to a bowl. Scrape the seeds, skins and any juices from the baking sheet into a fine sieve set over the bowl and press to extract as much juice as possible.
Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the ham, roasted tomatoes and their juices and the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the soup for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 325°. In a medium skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the minced herbs and cook for 30 seconds. Scrape the mixture into a medium bowl, add the bread cubes and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and toss thoroughly. Spread the bread cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden.
Coarsely mash the tomatoes in the soup and season with salt and pepper. Put the croutons in shallow bowls, ladle the soup on top and serve piping hot.
Make Ahead
The soup can be refrigerated and the croutons can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Suggested Pairing
To handle the intensity of both the tomatoes and the ham, turn to a spicy Zinfandel. Or pick a sharp, earthy white, such as one from Sicily.

President Obama has some advice for the NBA: Follow the example of the NFL and solve your labor problems before it's too late.
Obama, a big basketball fan, told NBC's Jay Leno on Tuesday that he's "concerned" the "heartbreaking" NBA lockout could wipe out the 2011-2012 season for fans:
If you look at the NFL, they were able to settle theirs. I think they understood players were making millions of dollars, owners, some of us are worth billions of dollars. We should be able to figure out how to split a $9 billion pie so that our fans, who are allowing us to make all this money, can actually have a good season. I think the owners and basketball players need to think the same way.
The First Fan warned NBA owners and players it's later than they think:
They need to remind themselves that the reason they are so successful is because a whole bunch of f0lks out there love basketball. Basketball has actually done well. But these kinds of lockouts, a lot of times, take a long time to recover from.
GAME ON: NBA World All-Star Classic is set
NBA: Talks to resume Wednesday
Here's a clip from Tuesday's interview. Leno asks President Obama about Republican nominees and the "Occupy Wall Street" protests before turning to the NBA lockout at around the 1:50 mark:

I have a G30. Great shooter and comfy to carry. It is easier to carry my 19 or 27, but the 30 has been toted all day w/ no issues. 10+1 capacity is nothing to sneeze at. Plus I carry a spare 13 round 21 mag. I shot my 30 right after shooting my 19 the other day. After loading my 19 mags, when I got to loading the 30 mags I said to myself, "Damn, these rounds are big." LOL. But I feel confident that either will stop a threat. 124 +p Speer GDs in the 19 and 230 Speer GDs in the 30.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
I have both a Glock 30sf and am XD45 Tactical. Both are awesome guns and very easy shooting. I used the XD on a 4 day defensive course and put over 800 rounds through it without a single problem. The 30sf fits my hand really well and shoots as well if not better than the XD considering how small it is.
G30SF XD45Tactical
One of the prime differences (among many) in choosing poly guns or 1911s is capacity and weight. Weight helps tame recoil, but technology keep the recoil of most poly guns well manageable. 1911 capacity is more limited (8+1 in full size), poly .45 generally run from 6+1 (G36) up to 13+1 for the G21, maybe more in a few cases. Of course there is a trade off point for size veresus capacity.
I chose the Glock 30 for several reasons: Price - I get the retired military discount; reputation - It's a Glock, it's gonna work; the capacity - 10+1, 13+1 if I insert a G 21 mag (nice for HD duty); and simplicity - clean lines, pull the trigger and it fires; low maintenance - keep it clean. I have not been disappointed.
The only changes I made to it was to replace the extended slide lock release lever with the extended version. I found the OEM lever to be difficult to use. The extended version, while only slightly wider, is much easier. I didn't care for the white sights (nor any other make of white sights), am not a fan of night sights, so I painted the white sights DayGlo-Orange. Works for me and stands out well against any background.
I do find that the gun gets heavier as the day wears on, but that's because of the weight of the ammo, not the gun. .45 ammo is heavier ... in any gun. While I can carry the G30 easily, in hindsight, I think I might go with the G36 if doing it again, both for the slighter thinness and the lighter weight.

Have not heard of any FNH or H&K or CZ.
The 1911 was the first handgun I bought myself, Colt .38 Super, then I got Colt .45, now I have an RIA and a Taurus added to the 1911 stable. Picking a carry gun is a personal thing, what I like, someone else may not. With a good belt and holster carrying a full size 1911 is not a problem, and if you need more than 9 rounds, reload and pray. I would suggest try a 1911 and a polymer handgun in .45 and see which you like best.
Next year is the 100 anniversary of the 1911 being adopted as the U.S. military sidearm (still being issues to some military unit to this day), so all next year my EDC handgun is going to be a 1911

I like the 1911, too.
For me, a lot of it is the nostalgia, the tradition. .45 ACP and 1911, like bread and butter. I like the heft of steel, I like the single action, the low round capacity (compared to polymers) is connected to the fact that it's so slim; which makes it easy to carry and conceal, for me.
It's only got 9 rounds in it, but they're 9 rather big ones
I like 'em all. I have also eyed the G36 and XDm .45, and perhaps may get one, someday.
Oh, and the real reason that Rollo got the M&P is because he already has a 1911

The 1911's are great weapons. I carry my Wilson Combat CQB compact everyday and absolutely love it. For me, I shoot the 1911's the most accurately, I prefer SAO and they just seem to conceal pretty easily for me. Of all the 1911's that I have the Wilson is by far my favorite (even up against my Les Baer, STI or Ed Brown). It has well over 2,500 rounds through it and I have never had a malfunction with it.
"Do not fear those who disagree with you; fear those that do and are too cowardly to admit it" - Napoleon
I have a Kimber CDP Compact, Colt Lightweight Commander, and Glock 30 SF.
I'm a Glock fan, but the 1911 design is slimmer and more comfortable to carry for me given the exact same type of holster and IWB location.
The XD45 Compact is good too; I actulally like the grip / feel better than the Glock, but it's still thicker than the 1911. I sold the XD45 despite my preference for the grip.
I like the looks, size, slimness and weight of the Kimber CDP Compact. It's "factory" magazine didn't work well (last round misfeeds) and was replaced with a Tripp mag.
I like the looks, slimness and quickness of 2nd shot with my XSE Lightweight Commander that sports a set of "Big Dot" sights. Same last round misfeed using "factory" magazine, so it's also fed by a Tripp mag.
The Glock 30 SF is good, but I'm carrying one of the 1911's.
The minimum is not what I want to defend my life with.
S&W Model 457. Reason why I chose it in 1996 was that it was one of the very few subcompact .45 handguns at that time. And, even though there are much better "pocket rockets" now than ever before, I still stick with it since I already have lots of mags for it and it be a waste if I have to trade it. And besides, S&W still have extra parts/accessories for it even though the 457 is no longer manufactured. Not only is it low cost ($450), it is also surprisingly reliable with just about any quality ammo. As for accuracy, not match grade like the 1911s or the Glocks but still combat accurate at close range. Also much easier to conceal too than some other subcompact .45s. My preferred loads that I use are either the Federal 165 gr. Hydrashock JHP (may be criticized for being called obsolete in design but it is still one of the most street-proven loads for the .45 ACP) or Remington +P 185 gr. Golden Saber HPJ (if there are no Hydrashocks in stock). I also prefer lighter loads since the .45 suffers a great deal in velocity loss due to reduced barrel length in subcompact handguns.

text: So the question is: Will the anxiety of the folks on the sidelines to buy on any dip outweigh the anxiety of the longs to protect and harvest profits? The answer to this question will determine the short-term trend of the stock market. Currently, my short-term outlook is for the pullback to find fairly strong technical support in the area of 1470 to 1500 on the S&P 500 index. The pullback could pause or bounce in the 1530 area, where there is some horizontal support and the 50-day moving average, prior to entering the target zone. A strong negative fundamental catalyst would probably be required for the stock market to correct beyond that technical target area. If there were such a fundamental catalyst, the next support areas would be found at around 1460, 1400 and 1350. At that point, we would be talking about a correction rather than a mere pullback.

Hispanics feel harassed under Alabama's immigration law
When Natividad Gonzalez's 3-year-old daughter fell off the stairs at their home in Maplesville, Ala., the panicked mother raced to the local hospital.
She carried her daughter into the emergency room and scanned the room for help, but came to halt when a doctor approached them.
"Instead of asking me what happened to my daughter, he asked me what her (immigration) status is," said Gonzalez, 27, who emigrated from Mexico illegally nine years ago, but gave birth to her daughter in the United States, making the child a U.S. citizen. "People think that doesn't really happen. They say the new immigration law won't affect people who are legal. But that's wrong."
As Arizona officials prepare to implement a section of its immigration law that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last month, they could use the experience of Alabama as a guide.
Six states have passed laws in the last two years that require local police officers to check the immigration status of suspects if the officer believes the person may be in the country illegally. Judges blocked five of those states from implementing that law, including the Arizona case that ended up before the Supreme Court. But a federal judge in Alabama allowed that law to go into effect.
Now, nine months later, Hispanic residents complain that they're subjected to constant harassment and racial profiling by police and other state officials in Alabama. Civil rights groups set up a hotline in the state, and more than 6,000 people have called in with complaints, said Mary Bauer, legal director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has helped file lawsuits to block state immigration laws.
"And this is a state with a tiny immigrant and Latino population," Bauer said. "I imagine this playing out in a state like Arizona, and it's just incredibly heartbreaking to imagine the many people who will be subjected to this treatment."
Law enforcement agencies from around the state say their officers have implemented the new law responsibly and have not engaged in racial profiling. Officials with the Alabama Attorney General's Office and the state Department of Homeland Security say they've received no formal complaints from legal or illegal immigrants about the law.
Leah Garner, a spokeswoman for Homeland Security, said officers have been trained on how they are supposed to develop the "reasonable suspicion" they need to initiate an immigration check and have been properly warned that racial profiling will not be tolerated.
"We haven't received any complaints," she said. "Most people in Alabama appreciate this law and support it."
The law did not require police agencies to report the number of times their officers use the new law, so there are no numbers on how often Alabama officers have used it. But even some law enforcement officials say they don't need any data to declare that the law has been harmful to Hispanics.
Ron Tyler, the police chief in Florence, Ala., said the small Hispanic community in his city of 39,000 people has "gone underground," refusing to report crimes out of fear that officers will arrest them or their family on immigration charges.
"There's a great deal of distrust between the Hispanic community and law enforcement anyway. Then you place this law on top of that and it's enhanced the issue of under-reporting," Tyler said. "There are certainly politics involved in whether they should be here or not. But the fact is, we're just trying to serve humanity. If they need help or there's a crime going on, we want to know about that so we can respond."
Gonzalez has seen that fear of police playing out each day.
She said many people from her community have left the state, and those who remain have adopted habits that reduce their exposure to police. She said that's a huge change from life before the law, when the Hispanic community had a good relationship with police.
"The police were always very nice. They didn't bother (us); they didn't care if we were legal or illegal," she said. "But after the law, I don't know if they're forced or what, but they've been going after Latinos."

This morning, in a suburb of Tacoma, four police officers were gunned down in a coffee shop. This comes on the heels of last month's execution-style shooting of a police officer in Seattle. Here's some information regarding today's shooting:
Four uniformed police officers were shot and killed in a bloody Sunday morning ambush at a Lakewood-area coffee shop, officials said.
Pierce County Sheriff's Office spokesman Ed Troyer called the ambush "a targeted attack" on the four Lakewood police officers as they were preparing to start their shifts at about 8:15 a.m.
Officials at the scene said a lone gunmen burst into the Forza Coffee Co. outlet at 11401 Steele St. South, shot the four uniformed officers as they were working on their laptop computers, then fled the scene.
Two baristas and a handful of other customers were inside the coffee shop at the time of the attack, but none of them were shot or injured. The suspect fled without taking any money.
My heart certainly goes out to the loved ones and colleagues of the slain officers. I may offer some more comments on this event later today or tomorrow. Right now, I'm in a bit of shock at the continued carnage that keeps playing itself out in the streets of my country.

Deputy sheriff offers ideas on how to protect oneself from loss of property
With the number of thefts and car break-ins continuing to rise, deputies at the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office would like Boring area residents to take more preventive measures.
Community Service Officer Sara McClurg would like Boring neighborhoods to consider the Neighborhood Watch program. She visited the most recent Citizen Participation Organization meeting to update the nearly 40 residents present and answer their questions about how to protect themselves.
McClurg says it's prudent to be skeptical at all times, unless someone on your property is a friend or family.
'If somebody comes to your door who you don't know,' she said, 'and they are there ostensibly for a legitimate reason, always scrutinize the situation.
'That is a common method for people to get a look inside your house to see if there's something worth coming back later to steal, or to see if no one is in the house so they can safely break in and take things.'
Car break-ins are the most recent trend in Boring-area crime, said McClurg, who offered a couple of ideas to help protect people's cars.
'The bottom line is: If you don't want to lose something,' she said, 'don't leave it in your car.
'Parking in front of one's home is not safe, unfortunately. About 50 percent of the (Boring) car break-ins were unlocked, so you really need to make sure your car is secured. It won't stop someone from smashing a window, but it will deter some activity.'
One of the offenders, who agreed to talk with deputies, told them he is much more attracted to an unlocked car than a locked vehicle. Better yet, McClurg said, put your car in a garage, if one is available.
Of prime importance, according to McClurg, is to leave nothing visible inside the vehicle.
'If (a thief) doesn't see something that's worth taking,' she said, 'most of the time (he or she) will pass the vehicle.'
Items some people don't think of when they leave their car include GPS units, cell phones, wallets and purses. McClurg also suggests not covering something of value with a coat or blanket.
'You want to make sure there's nothing there (inside the vehicle),' she said, 'not spare change, not even sunglasses.
'Usually they don't want to go to the trouble (of breaking in) unless they can see something (through a window).'
One of the items that could be left (by mistake) in a car and cause a great deal of damage when stolen are financial documents.
'Those papers have all of a person's information,' she said, 'including a Social Security number.'
Home invasions (in Boring) are a rare occurrence, McClurg said. But if it occurs, she suggests getting to a safe place and immediately calling 9-1-1.
To help deputies in their investigation and search for possible suspects, McClurg said a homeowner should get a description of the person(s) and the vehicle - especially the license number and state - and direction of travel.
Other ideas McClurg suggested include being consistent in locking the home (doors and windows), using solid-core doors, using deadbolts with a bolt that moves 1.5-inches into the door jam, and having lights on all night (front and back).
Neighborhood Watch, she said, is one of the proven ways to deter crime.
'There's safety in numbers,' she said. 'A group is going to be much stronger than an individual.'
McClurg doesn't suggest forming vigilante groups, but she says it is good to have people checking neighbor's homes - especially if a resident is out of town.
'Being alert to suspicious activity is important,' she said. 'We're not encouraging people to become vigilantes, but just be aware of things that look out of place.'
Potential criminals notice if people in a neighborhood are alert, and especially if a sign is present notifying anyone that an area has a Neighborhood Watch group.
McClurg can provide signs for any neighborhood requesting one, and she will be available to help any neighborhood form a watch group.
For more information, contact McClurg by calling 503-785-5077.

Question!! Can i watch Dvd's on my navigation?
Can i watch Dvd's on my bmw stock navigation system? I have a stock 2003 330ci. I really dont think i can. Just because i'm sure the dealer would have told me i can watch dvd movies on my navigation if i could. But i am just not sure. any info would be appreciated.
you can get a Nav tv unit I think and then hook up a DVD player to it.
just go to www.navtv.com or www.tvonnav.com .
TVonNav is cheaper than NAV-TV and with TVonNAV they offer their own addon possibilities like backup cameras and stuff. it's pretty cool, you can watch videos of working units online too. Check out those sites, all your questions should be answered.
I'm hoping to do this soon myself, although both companies are pricey, it's worth it. Not only can you watch TV while you're driving (well, hopefully listen to the TV :) ) but you can watch/listen to DVDs, still use Navigation, when you reverse the camera can turn on, and you can hookup a PS2 or other gaming system along with a PC or laptop of some kind. After you get the basic TVonNAV setup it's pretty much your choice on what you want to do.
Thank You sooo Much. That sight had everything!!!!!! :bow:
I might have a Group Buy on TVonNAV posted this week!! keep a look out!!
Here it is.... GROUP BUY on TVonNAV for only $899!
Click picture for more information and please sign up ASAP! The GROUP BUY is only good until April 30, 2004!

Books 28 May 2012 ...with a twist of horror
May 29, 2012 , 1:56 PM by Leanda Elliott, WRLC
Hide me among the graves / Tim Powers (William Morrow, 2012)
Powers has written a fascinating historical horror novel set in 1862, and featuring Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his sister, the poet Christina Rossetti. Their late uncle John Polidori is their supernatural muse, but when he resurrects Dante's dead wife and turns her into a horrifying vampire, they agree that they must help destroy him. Joining forces with others, the Rossettis' move from high society mansions to the Victorian slums as they attempt to finally escape the influence of Polidori. The historical and the supernatural is cleverly blending in this book, and it's my pick of today's books.
Third grave dead ahead / Darynda Jones (St. Martin's Press, 2012)
Part mystery – part paranormal chick lit - Charley Davidson is the grim reaper – that is she helps souls pass over when necessary. She is also a private eye, running her business from the back room of her father's pub. Her newest case involves a doctor with a missing wife – but after her initial interview, Charley is convinced that the doctor is behind the disappearance. That isn't he least of her problems – the son of the devil is appearing every time she falls asleep, so she's drinking lots of caffeine to try stay awake. This is the third book in a series, but the first two don't need to have been read, as the author covers sufficient back story so you know what is going on. Unfortunately, I found the main character really irritating in this book, particularly with all the wisecrack and clichéd comments that she said.
The bride wore black leather / Simon R Green (Berkley Publishing Group, 2012)
Green's novel is also a combination of mystery and horror. Set in the Nightside a mysterious alternative world, hidden deep in the dark of London, it exists alongside our normal world. John Taylor was a PI, but now he has become the Walker, the new voice of the Authorities in the Nightside. He's cleaning up his office and taking on one final job, before he gets married. Complications arise however when his bride to be takes a job to collect the bounty on his head.

Micro-CT analysis of tissue engineering scaffold architectures
Melchels, Ferry, Rijckaert, Bart, Grijpma, Dirk, & Feijen, Jan (2008) Micro-CT analysis of tissue engineering scaffold architectures. In BMTI/iBME Symposium : Highlights in BioMedical Technology, 20 November 2008, Enschede, Netherlands.

Accepted Version.
A novel method was developed for a quantitative assessment of pore interconnectivity using micro-CT data. This method makes use of simulated spherical particles, percolating through the interconnected pore network. For each sphere diameter, the accessible pore volume is calculated. This algorithm was applied to compare pore interconnectivity of two different scaffold architectures; one created by salt-leaching and the other by stereolithography. The algorithm revealed a much higher pore interconnectivity for the latter one.
