|Travis Marshall
Travis Marshall, A.K.A The Doomsday Killer or DDK, is a character in DEXTER. He worked at the Miami Museum of Art as a Conservator in Papers and Bindings (for paintings, artifacts, etc.) and studied at the University of Tallahassee, where he earned his Masters Degree in Art History.
Travis is a tall Caucasian with brown hair and green eyes. He is of slim fit, similar to Dexter Morgan and Jordan Chase, however, he is the youngest out of any main antagonist to date. Physically he is very strong, able to lift up women with ease and even manages to pull Nathan Roberts from one area and toss him into a room with little strain.
Travis dresses conservatively, usually wearing button-down shirts and chinos. His style emulates that of his teacher, Professor James Gellar, who is always seen wearing a dress shirt and a cardigan.
Travis suffers from severe psychological effects such as delusions of grandeur, violent tendencies, and a lack of empathy. He is also a master of manipulation. His delusional mindset forces him to imagine that a man he'd killed named Professor James Gellar is still alive, and Travis continues to interact with him although he doesn't actually exist. (This is established in "Ricochet Rabbit.")
Travis captures sacrificial victims, believing that "Professor Gellar" is the one killing them (when, in reality, it's himself). Furthermore,Travis undergoes periods of amnesia, shown after he killed Trent Casey and Lisa Marshall. When Travis is confronted with the dead body of Gellar, he fully accepts the darkness within himself.
The End of Days that Travis is trying to enact is a justification for his need to kill and he's willing to manipulate anyone for his cause, effectively creating two disciples in Steve Dorsey and his wife Beth Dorsey.
Other than Travis, no character in the series has such a severe delusional disorder. Dexter's illusions are simply personifications of his inner dialogue. They do not perform harmful actions except, in one instance, when Brian Moser "took control" in killing a man named Norm. It was immediately shown that Dexter had actually killed him.
The Good Side
Brother Sam: "The good book tells us that there's no darkness that the light can't overcome. So all the darkness that you think you've got inside you, all it takes is just a little bit of light to keep it at bay"
Since Travis has distinct personalities, he is faced with the fact that he follows Professor Gellar but the goodness inside of him prevents his own persona from actually killing anyone. This goodness is seen plainly by his sister, Lisa Marshall, who cares for her little brother fondly and wishes she could see him more often but his work, along with following Professor Gellar, prevents it most of the time. Gellar sees this heart as well, though still encourages him to aide in his dark acts of punishing humanity in God's name.
Travis is calm, collected and a very neat individual. His personality shows that of a soft-speaking gentleman, being seen as polite and rather attractive by various women while his household is kept very orderly and clean. He breaks this quiet nature when confronted however, in trying to convince Nathan Roberts to beg for forgiveness he screams and scolds him and when caught by Dexter Morgan (temporarily and let go), he speaks the open truth about his inability to actually kill people.
The Dark Side
This personality is the one Travis fought to conceal, a personality that kills at leisure until given a purpose - Ending the World. Travis' religious beliefs are set to enacting his dark tendencies into the horrendous crimes he commits. He does not care who he manipulates into his cause, but if they die in the process he views it as a "sacrifice" and shares no remorse for their passing. Even in using the dead body of Professor Gellar against him, Travis is more enraged than sad. His pure focus is on executing God's plan.
This Travis is so far beyond human empathy that he would target an innocent child feeling that it would help bringing the end of the world and as such, he is the first main antagonist to become a serious threat to Harrison Morgan as previews for This is the Way the World Ends show him kidnapping the child and is prepared to sacrifice him.
Good vs. Dark
To the good side of Travis, he sees Professor Gellar as a living being. He views him as a man he respected, honors and follows...though apparently the dark side of Travis also sees this Gellar. It could be the two personalities conflicting but Travis is convinced in finishing what they started.
For the good side of Travis, his relationship with Gellar is an interesting one, while at first glance the two appear to be acting together as a sound set of individuals with a purpose it's revealed that it was Travis all along with the thought that Gellar was still there with him. Travis follows Gellar due to his faith in God and believes his convincing words over the End of Days, feeling that he has to aide his teacher while also looking up to him as a role model of strength and power. At the same time, it can be seen in his expressions that he doesn't agree with everything Gellar does, especially when it comes to the way the victims are treated. Travis often acts as a child would around a stern parent, looking down as he speaks of what his intentions away from the killings are such as going to visit his sister or even going out on a date with a woman. He even begs that Erin Baer not be taken as a victim, but forces himself to agree with the killing regardless. Once he encountered Dexter, Travis started to doubt Gellar more and more but still did not realize he was gone...and the dark side was getting frustrated by Travis' attempt to shut out the darkness.
When Travis tried to have a normal life, his darkness forced Travis to bring a shovel to his own head and render the good half "unconscious" while the dark side of Travis could take care of his sister without interference. Once she was displayed as the whore of Babylon, Travis somehow chained himself within the church and even burned his own arm with a hot poker punishing the good half of himself for betrayal. It would seem that Travis always "awakens" when he's allowed to return to his good personality, thus allowing the image of Professor Gellar to remain a constant reminder from the dark side. It is possible that his darkness wishes to force the good out, ensure that nothing else can prevent its work to be finished.
After Travis finally realizes that Professor Gellar has been dead all along and the memories return, he goes through an emotional state where he casts off need for the Passenger of Gellar that he's held on to for so long, along with any sign of good in his heart. Now focused, a single minded individual...Darkness has won and he intends to enact his tableaus without a second thought.
Theme Music
|Travis's Theme 1
|Ripped Theme from Season Six
|Trouble with the audio sample?
Travis has at least two themes, one of them is featured prominently as a tune played on an organ based piano. The track symbolizes the complexity of Travis' personality, showing the darkness while matching with the religious theme of the season. The theme ends with a more dramatic effect.
|Travis's Theme 2
|Ripped Theme from Season Six
|Trouble with the audio sample?
The second theme has slight chorus usage and is a lot more traumatic of a theme, heard in A Horse of a Different Color just before Erin Baer is killed and then Get Gellar, when Dexter discovers that Professor Gellar has been dead all along.
History of Killer
Early Life
Travis Marshall was born 24 November 1977. Travis was the younger of two children, his older sister being Lisa Marshall. At an unspecified time in Travis' childhood, Travis effectively kills both of his parents by taking control of a steering wheel thus forcing the vehicle they were driving to crash into a tree. The incident was recorded as a car accident, however a psyche evaluation revealed that his doctor felt Travis was the one responsible for their deaths. His older sister Lisa never knew this fact about her brother, thus it is assumed she was not in the vehicle at the time (and because he survived where her parents didn't, she became protective of him wanting to shield her brother unknowingly from danger).
Psychological Issues
Travis grew up while also being assigned to a Dr. Benjamin Carlson, who handled his psychological care. According to his reports, Travis often had "breaks from reality" including violent tendencies since childhood, lack of empathy, master manipulator and delusions of grandeur. There were no signs of parental abuse (likely referencing Arthur Mitchell in this sense) nor was there any significant event in his lifetime that would have created this darkness (such as the death of Laura Moser for both Dexter Morgan and Brian Moser), so Travis was "a monster from the start". Travis was given a prescription of Chlorpromazine, which is a form of anti-psychotics however they were not efficient in preventing him from killing.
Travis and Professor Gellar
He would eventually attend the University of Tallahassee where he met Professor James Gellar, a teacher in Religious Studies. Gellar was working on a theory based on an Early A.D. Cult known as the Enesserrette, that had believed they found a Code that would trigger the End of Days. Gellar, with a philosophical interest in the subject, began making private notes on the subject feeling that he had finally deciphered the code. Travis would go on to graduate from the facility, entering becoming employed at the Miami Museum of Art as a Conservator in Papers and Bindings.
In 2008, Travis (likely having already known about Gellar's notes) approached his former Professor, having stolen the Sword of John the Revelator. This event cost Gellar his job but Travis would continue to claim that they were the Two Witnesses from Revelation 11. Gellar would tell Travis that he was delusional and needed help, something that he didn't listen to as he was convinced that he could make Gellar believe that they were the chosen ones. Eventually, to help "prove" his theory, Travis stabbed the Professor with the sword stating that neither of them could ever be harmed. Gellar died from the wound and was locked away in a freezer beneath the church named Santa Maria de Laredo.
Travis shut out this memory and began seeing an illusion that he believed to be the real Professor Gellar though he was merely a representation of his Dark Passenger. He would aide the "Professor" in preparing for the End of Days, which didn't result in a murder until 2011.
Season Six
Travis makes his first appearance, alongside Professor Gellar. The season's storyline is of light and darkness, as well as religion. The persona of Professor Gellar is the darkness in Travis' life while his sister is the light. This is similar to the way that Brian Moser represents the darkness inside Dexter while Harry Morgan is the opposite.
The Seven Snakes
Professor Gellar and Travis Marshall are both seen riding a boat wading through a swamp somewhere in Florida. Under a crimson moon, they search for a female snake, pregnant with at least seven snakelets. Travis manages to catch one quite easily, holding it within his hands with no fear. Gellar approves of the catch, likely resulting in them either cutting open the snake or waiting for it to bear the children (as they can be seen physically swimming about within her body).
Scales of Justice
The Scales of Justice is one of the minor tableaus.
On the day following the capture of the snakes, both Travis and Gellar wait outside of a bustling street, where across from them is a fruit stand run by vendor, Omar Rivera. Travis, readying himself to leave and go over to him is stopped by Gellar temporarily, noting a passing car. Then allowing him to move outside, Travis heads to the back of his car and pulls out a bag before heading over to greet Omar. While Omar's back is turned, Travis approaches with the following quotation:
"In the midst of the street was the tree of life, which bares twelve manner of fruit and yielded her fruit every month".
Omar turns and asks Travis what he needs, to which Travis replies with a request for oranges. Omar uses the Spanish word for the fruit and turns to get them, while Travis sets down his bag and removes a long blade similar to a machete. He then stands there and takes a deep breathe, preparing himself to attack. Travis assaults the man when his back is turned, dragging his body behind the fruit stand down a hill. He disembowels the victim and replaces the intestines with the baby snakes, then sews up the victim with the symbol for Alpha and Omega.
Dexter Morgan, the forensic blood spatter analyst from Miami Metro Homicide, is called in to a bizarre crime scene where a fruit vendor has gone missing. He arrives on scene to find Vince Masuka as well as his sister Detective Debra Morgan and her partner Joey Quinn, in addition to a stream of students anxious for the Intern level position with the Miami PD. Dexter notices the intestines left within the scale, which later Detective Mike Anderson claims to be a sign of judgement.[1] Dexter follows a blood trail down to behind the fruit vendor and proceeds to detail the event. He claims that the victim was struck from behind, dragged. and then stabbed to death before being disemboweled on the ground at this level. In regards to the intestines left in the scale, there is a hidden message within them that isn't discovered until later on.[2].
Seven Headed Serpent
The Seven Headed Serpent is one of the shorter Tableaus, only spanning mostly in the episode Those Kinds of Things' and continuing partially in A Horse of a Different Color.
The body of Omar Rivera later washes up on shore at a beach where a jogger calls it in, with Dexter Morgan is once again called on scene to investigate. He finds everyone from before here, with the addition of Vince's chosen top pick Peter who is seen taking pictures of the body. Debra and Quinn joke about the choice, thinking that Vince would rather choose the attractive girl Ryan Chambers which Vince replies by saying he chose the person with the highest test scores (but doesn't go without complimenting the "breasts and buttocks" of the hot chick).
Vince brings Dexter over, who investigates the body to find unusual markings on his stomach. Quinn informs them that the symbol is Greek for Alpha and Omega while Dexter removes the man's wallet to confirm an ID for the victim. Then the stomach begins to move, something that Dexter takes an interested fascination with as he cuts open a slight bit of the stitching to release seven baby snakes from within. Dexter's mouth gapes with the look he hasn't had since his brother Brian Moser, the Ice Truck Killer, started killing in Miami over 5 years before. He proceeds to bag the snakes, observing them while the nearby assistant Peter faints and the group informs Masuka he's not a very good choice for an intern. Vince bids goodbye to the passed out intern and to himself, welcomes "little miss hottie." Debra ponders the meaning of the symbol and the snakes, bouncing the idea back and forth that it's some kind of message, a warning even while Dexter thinks to himself the elaborate thought process behind the message and what it could mean.
Both Gellar and Travis walk out to a dock, looking upon the river as they quote the following:
Gellar: "I stood upon the sands of the sea and I saw a serpent rise up out of the sea, having seven heads."
Travis: "And upon his heads the name of blasphemy."
Travis: "So it's begun?"
Gellar: "Yes, it's begun."
Gellar begins to smile and laugh a little bit before proudly patting Travis on his shoulders. Their first message properly sent, the two men ready themselves for the next more complex ritual: The Four Horseman.
The Mission Continues
Both men are seen carrying trash bags from their car up to the church they've been staying at, talking about how they'll be ready soon. Travis informs Gellar that he may be a little late tomorrow, to which Gellar responds by asking why he wasn't told sooner. He says that he can't help it and that it shouldn't take long, Gellar speaking once more that he has to find another (victim). Travis replies with a louder tone that he already knows that and as he turns, the bag trash bag rips revealing a variety of mannequin parts with a torso rolling down onto the sidewalk below. Gellar says "Now look what you've done..." while Travis apologizes quickly and heads down to pick up the pieces, only to be told it's alright that these things happen. Gellar expresses then that he wants to make sure he can count on Travis and Travis says that he can, something Gellar acknowledges and lets him pick up the rest of the pieces except for a head, which Gellar inspects fondly.
Travis's Sister
The next night, as Travis said, he arrives at someone's house stealthily walking from the front door to the kitchen. He approaches a woman and gently taps her arm which scares the life out of her for a moment. She says "God Damn It", to which Travis replies that he really wishes she wouldn't say that word and calls him her brother as she hugs him, wishing he'd use the doorbell for a change..
Lisa Marshall, Travis' older sister, then serves him dinner and the two talk of why he hasn't been around lately. He admits that that the reason he's been gone so much is his work and she sighs, feeling that it's really taxing on him. She talks about her job as an elementary art teacher trying to keep a bunch of fifth graders focused on art. She then mentions that a flock of dead birds were found up north and the following quotation is mentioned:
Lisa: "They think it's the end of the world, or something."
Travis: "What if it were?"
This gives some insight into the possible motive behind what Gellar and Travis are trying to accomplish, that it really is a warning for the apocalypse. She laughs and brings out a tub of ice cream she wants to share with her brother. He urges her that he needs to go but she insists that he stay, blow off work for once to spend time with her. He then begins to mention that it's before something started but doesn't finish, telling her it's nothing. She laments on how they used to be able to spend time together, talk and how she wants to spend time with her baby brother. Eventually he gives in and agrees to spend time there tonight, effectively not meeting up with Gellar this night.
Travis arrives at the church where Gellar is sitting at alter, watching over a fire while heating a rod. He asks where Travis was last night and he replies by telling him he was at his sister's, that she was worried about him. Gellar informs him that she "can't be saved" but Travis goes on to say that she's a good person and all that he has. Gellar turns and says it isn't true, that he has him and God now...but stands up with rod in hand and says that he needs to be reminded of that. The rod, heated and able to burn, prepares Travis to accept punishment for what he did...but instead of using it on Travis, he places it upon his own arm and starts burning it. (Later, a burn mark is seen on Travis's arm.
Travis tries to prevent this, grabbing both of his hands and trying to remove the rod from burning Gellar's forearm. He then starts to lower himself and beg for forgiveness, to prove himself worthy. Gellar says that it is his responsibility to watch over Travis, not his sister's or anyone else.
The Four Horsemen
he Four Horsemen spans the duration of the episodes Once Upon A Time..., Smokey and the Bandit and A Horse of a Different Color.
Dexter: "Whoever did this seems to be a member of my tribe...but this is A Horse of a Different Color. What is this?"
The Capture of Nathan Roberts
The same night Travis targets his next victim, setting himself up along the jogging path of the man he's after. He is seen sitting on the ground, grasping his ankle in pain and when the man (Nathan Roberts) arrives asking what's wrong he claims that he sprained his ankle.
When Nathan approaches to try and assist, Travis grabs a nearby rock and smashes it over his head...bringing him back to the church. Gellar approaches and observes the deed, smiling once more towards Travis as he has proven himself and Travis smiles back.
During the daytime, Nathan the newly made captive is struggling to break free from the shackle holding him to the ground. He's inside a dusty room, with an old wooden door behind him with a loop used for a handle. The door opens and in comes Travis, listening to him beg to be set free but he tells him that he must first beg for forgiveness. Nathan then apologizes to Travis, who disregards that notion and says that he must apologize to God, not him.
Travis kneels down, calmly saying that he needs to beg for this forgiveness and be sincere, otherwise this will get a lot worse for him. He stands up and leaves Nathan to remain shackled, spending his time working on the shackle.
A little while later Travis returns, holding what appears to be a whip as he proclaims that Nathan must believe in what he's saying if he wants to get out of this, he has to believe in God and truly seek his forgiveness. As Travis stands on, he listens to Nathan cry out his regrets for everything he's ever done and begins to sympathize, placing his hand on his shoulder before choosing to leave. After the door closes, Nathan begins tugging on the chain once more. Out in the chapel area, Professor Gellar tells him that Nathan is only saying that in hopes of being let go, to make him hear what he wants to hear.
Travis approaches him, asking how much longer he must be made to suffer. Gellar remarks on his good heart, saying that's why he chose him but stands up to say that regardless, there is so much more at stake than one man's suffering. They must be strong while he must be pure otherwise they can't proceed, however he attempts to lift Travis' spirits by telling him that he's coming around and that it just takes time.
The time that Nathan has spent trying to pull the shackle loose finally pays off when he breaks free, though still restricted by his hands being tied together. Nathan first tries the door that Travis has been using, only to find that opening it may make too much noise so he chooses an alternate path which wraps around through the main chapel area. After pushing aside a pew, he nears the entrance when he spots a horse and as it rears up upon noticing him, he falls back frightened. Shortly thereafter Travis takes him by the arm and head, showing remarkable strength as he pulls the man and throws him to the floor back in the room from before. He asks if he wants to be saved, that he has to make a choice and Nathan grovels at his feet once more begging for his life, saying that he wishes to be cleansed of his sins. Travis stands there with an expression of a man who thinks he's ready and then Professor Gellar confirms it, telling him that it's time.
The Four Horsemen Tableau
It's a bright sunny day during a festival of some kind, where many people are gathered on the street. Cars drive by, the sun gleams, but a thumping noise is heard in the distance.
In the distance, traveling down the road are four horses, each with an apparent rider. The civilians look to these horses, confused as if this is some sort of parade but are suddenly greeted by the grotesque sight of body parts sewn together with the mannequin frames. Four riders, one man...Nathan Roberts has been "freed" and sends a message to all about the end of days.
Dexter Morgan, who bore interest in the "snakes victim" when he visited the crime scene beforehand, now walks onto a scene like he's never seen before. Even he, a man who is on the fence over belief in a higher power remarks "Jesus Christ!" when he witnesses a horse walking around with body parts attached to it (namely, the head of Nathan Roberts at first). He walks through the crime scene, looking at the spectacle as he meets with his sister Lieutenant Debra Morgan, filling her first time on scene in her new position.
He is reminded of his brother Brian Moser while remarking on the "wicked rodeo", caught off guard by Deb thinking the same thing. Except when he envisions the imagination behind these killings, she states the brutality of it.
Debra: "Same sick fuck, two different killings."
An Alpha and Omega Link
She leads him to one of the horses, detailing the symbol for "Alpha and Omega", which relates the previous Snakes Victim to this new murder. Forgetting her position as Lieutenant, she snaps at Joey Quinn who was simply providing his report along with Sergeant Angel Batista and Vince Masuka. Batista confirms to the two of them that a local stable about a mile from their location reported four horses missing, Quinn says that patrol will be on their way within the hour and Masuka reports that all body parts are the same blood type (B+), feeling that they are all from a single victim. Dexter wonders what killer is trying to tell them, when Detective Mike Anderson approaches with an answer.
Mike: "He's saying it's the end of the world, something like that. Four horseman of the apocalypse; white, red, pale and black. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. The killer is showing us a scene from the Book of Revelation"
The others aren't instantly taken by Mike but Debra introduces him nonetheless, learning from Mike that this is a scene from the Book of Revelation, relating religious motive in addition to the symbol for Alpha and Omega. She inquires about the snakes but Mike says he isn't sure about it, that he'll have to research more data to figure out the situation. She then tells Masuka and Batista to head to the stables for info while Dexter and Vince take care of the body. Dexter relates the killing to that of his "tribe", being as the killer chopped up the body parts much like himself and his brother but doesn't understand exactly what this is.
Mysterious Numbers
If James Doakes were still alive (and didn't know the truth about Dexter), he'd certainly comment on the way Dexter handles his observation of the corpse here. His movements and expression suggest a keen interest and almost thrill from this experience, moving body part to body part together to form a completed puzzle and even picks up the decapitated head placing it to finish the structure while Deb gives somewhat of a nauseated look. Dexter Morgan confirms that the kill wound (located on the chest) was the same as that for Omar Rivera (the Snakes Victim), then states the same insignia being used for both crimes. Debra proceeds to ask about the cuts on the body, what could have caused it with Dexter suggesting a bone saw.
1237 and 1242
Something catches his attention, a small object stuck under the left eyelid of the victim. Using a pair of tweezers, he obtains a small note and opens it up revealing the numbers "1242". Puzzled by it, he grins to Debra as he ponders on whether the other victim also has a similar message on his body. He looks over the corpse but finds nothing anywhere on him, even though Debra suggests other locations on the corpse such as the mouth. She asks what they could be missing and once again he smirks, remembering what's not in him: the intestines. Having them wheeled in on a cart, Dexter open one of the intestines while comparing this to looking through a cereal box for the prize. He manages to locate another message, which reads "1237." Dexter and Debra question what the numbers mean in the following comments:
Dexter: "1237 and 1242, what do you think it means?"
Debra: "That I've only been Lieutenant for a week and there's already some game-playing sick as fuck serial killer for me to catch?"
Dexter: "Technically he's not a serial killer...yet. Serial killing involves the murder of several people in three or more separate events. So far our guy's only done two."
Debra: "Are you trying to make me feel better...or worse?"
In the Investigation Room, Dexter works over the code with his own mathematical interpretation on a notepad. He works over the fact that when Brian sent him a message, they were encoded specifically for him but puts faith in himself that he should be able to crack this code as well. Debra then reintroduces Mike Anderson just for the few who haven't met him yet and he begins to do a run through on the boards of what he's compiled information wise.
He begins to explain his theory that the killer is reenacting scenes from the Book of Revelation, sayings that there is a lot of brutal imagery to choose from. He's cut off by a sudden interruption by the always timely Vince Masuka, who states that traces of oxidized iron (rust) in the victim's corpse and based on the fact that iron hasn't been used in weapons for centuries, Dexter then expresses his curiosity in what kind of weapon could have been used and Masuka says that it was likely an ancient sword of some type. Deb tells Masuka to work on that then lets Mike continue. Mike says that the killer has given them three tableaus (theatrical term for a picturesque group of people or objects) in the intestines on the scale, the snakes victim and the four horseman. The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse are described in Revelation 6, verse 1 through 8 while the Snakes are mentioned in Revelation 13: "And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a serpent rise out of the sea having seven heads". He makes an interesting hypothesis of the intestines meaning, suggesting that they are a symbol for God's judgement on the human race (as the intestines were left on the scale at the fruit stand).
The Doomsday Killer Gets his Name
Dexter then begins to realize based on the numbers of 1237 and 1242, that they in fact have a difference of 5 and the murders took place five days apart. Batista then suggests that if they're counting up to something, then it must be the end of the world. It's then that she tells Batista and Quinn to round up any ends time fanatics while also finally dubbing the murderer: The Doomsday Killer.
The Investigation
Dexter Morgan, while at his apartment, begins investigating a series of printouts regarding the Book of Revelation by John the Revelator. He notes the swarms of locusts, bowls of wrath and in feeling that religion was meant to be comforting why anyone would believe in these darker portions of faith. He's interrupted in his research by his sister, Debra Morgan who is preparing herself for the press conference regarding the Doomsday Killer and the Four Horseman Case from earlier. She frustrates herself with catching Doomsday while dealing with her duties as Lieutenant, Dexter encourages her that she'll find a way to do it she always does.
Brother Sam's Viewpoint
Regarding a second car accident that occurred in Dexter hunting down Walter Kenney, he returns to get a second estimate on new repairs for his vehicle from Brother Sam. While working over the numbers, Dexter picks up Sam's bible and flips through it to find some notes highlighted by Sam who says that every time he reads it, he finds something new. Dexter says that he's started reading the bible for work, regarding their tracking of a killer in Miami whom they believe to be reenacting scenes from the Book of Revelation. Sam sighs, having heard of the Four Horseman Case and says that just because a man "believes in some crazy bullshit" and does things in the name of God...doesn't make his faith any less real.
Brother Sam: "Faith man, you put it in the wrong things...fuck you up"
Back at the station, Dexter Morgan looks over Angel Batista and Joey Quinn's "people of interest" regarding this case. Most of them are fanatic "end times" believers and show this belief by arguing among themselves. Meanwhile Lieutenant Debra Morgan and Captain Maria LaGuerta discuss how she can prepare for the press statement on the Four Horseman Case when she's given the suggestion of just being herself on camera. She takes it as a bit of a surprise but acknowledges it for the statement to come.
Dexter remembers that Brother Sam reads the bible multiple times and finds something new. He becomes curious over the cuts made to Nathan's corpse, goes over another look at the corpse while Harry Morgan watches on. Harry makes the observation over how aggressive and brutal the cuts are, something that doesn't make sense to Dexter who admires how precise and planned the crime scenes were left. The thought runs through Harry's mind asking why such a careful man would be so reckless in dismembering the corpse and Dexter realizes that it might not just be one killer, in fact there is the possibility of two.
Deb's Press Conference
The press conference finally happens, news about this case has to be released in some format and Lieutenant Debra Morgan is the one that has to inform the public. Starting out somewhat formal and regular, she begins to drop the standard approach and begins to ask the public for their assistance, reporting that she doesn't care about press conferences or politics, only catching the man who did this. Now with the public's knowledge that the Snakes Victim and Four Horseman Case are related, more of Professor Gellar's plan will come to light.
Gellar's Website
After the conference, Sergeant Angel Batista and Detective Joey Quinn head off to find Jeremiah Allen, one of the "nut jobs" they have to interview. Unfortunately they get a false address and end up waiting in the car, discovering that Angel's going through a mid life crisis and in addition the two men spot a blunt hidden in the new car he's picked up. The two decide to get high and have a comical moment when they finally receive the call to locate Jeremiah Allen.Debra Morgan is praised for her work by Deputy Chief Tom Matthews for her performance in the press conference. Something she didn't expect but she accepts nonetheless, while later on she is informed by Sergeant Angel Batista and Detective Joey Quinn about a new lead they've discovered from the man they interviewed, Jeremiah Allen.
Allen is obsessed with a revelation expert known as James Gellar, a name that Detective Mike Anderson is familiar with as a Professor from the University of Tallahassee. He brings up a website that he had previously researched (www.beginning-of-the-end.com, not a real site show purpose only) which depicts the end of days by Gellar's point of view. Angel tells them that they can't find Gellar because he went "underground", three years ago he was accused of stealing an Ancient Sword that originally belonged to John the Revelator, the man responsible for writing Revelations. Debra figures the sword was likely the one Vince Masuka suggested could have been used in the murders.
The Angel of Death
The Angel of Death is one of the shorter Doomsday Tableaus, spanning the duration of the episodes A Horse of a Different Color and then the aptly named The Angel of Death.
During the middle ages it was believed that the outcome of nearly all Earthly events was decided by angels...either Light or Dark. I'm quite certain that face I saw in the crowd was of the Dark variety... - Dexter Morgan, regarding Travis Marshall.Professor Gellar and Travis Marshall are spending their time eating (at least Travis is) at a restaurant discussing the recent Four Horseman incident in the street. He sits back calmly, referencing the fear in everyone's minds and body language from hearing about that incident. He begins to explain that soon everyone will understand what they're trying to accomplish but Travis' focus is on the pretty young waitress named Erin Baer behind Gellar. He asks him if he's paying attention, which Travis notes that people are afraid and Gellar sighs, saying that yes the girl is pretty but they really have to stay focused. Travis looks at him for a moment and asks if he should ask her out, with Gellar replying if that's what he wants. Erin comes over to their table as she greets him by name and pours him some more tea, smiling the whole time before walking away. She doesn't seem to note Gellar's existence at this point.
Professor Gellar is seen that night painting a portrait of the Angel of Death, when Travis Marshall comes up behind him to tell him of his plans for the evening. Gellar suspects he is going out on a date with Erin Baer, the waitress from earlier, and Travis says he can cancel if Gellar desires. He tells him he can do what he wishes, that they were given free will for a reason as long as he's willing to accept the consequences. Travis says he'll be back later that night and leaves, while Gellar turns to watch him.
Travis Has a Date
The date ends up going fairly well for Travis (in the midst he reveals that both of his parents died in an accident) and later that night he takes Erin Baer with him to his house where the two make a leap in romantic interests by sleeping together. For some reason, Gellar is actually in his house and watches on through the crack in the door, a look of disappointment in his eyes as he sees what Travis decided on.
The Capture of Erin
The following morning Travis awakens and moves through his house until he spots Erin tied up on the floor. He moves to her, telling Gellar that he doesn't want this but Gellar scolds him in the fact that he "shouldn't have defiled her" and now she must be apart of God's plan now. Travis, angry at the decision, looks down and leaves the area while Gellar observes his next victim.Crime Scene
Another sunny day in Miami, except this time while Dexter Morgan watches over his son Harrison after a surgery, a call comes in from his sister Debra to check out a crime scene in Coral Gables, FL at the Botanical Gardens where an Alpha and Omega Symbol was found outside the property. Dexter drives to Gables and arrives on scene, observing the next Alpha and Omega symbol this time made out of Dead Fish. A droplet of blood on some nearby shrubbery catches Dexter's attention and he moves with the others into the Green House. Debra manages to spot someone strung up and opens the door while Angel Batista, Dexter and a few officers enter the area.
Erin Baer tries her best to warn the others not to get too close and Debra Morgan catches on, standing still as she manages to spot the trip wire. Unfortunately, one of the fellow officers does not and as Debra calls out telling her not to move any further she trips the wire and the trap mechanism on Erin Baer's support harness releases. In an event that takes place in only five seconds, her body falls down while the collar around her neck punctures her jugular, her arms strung up to either side attached to angel wings while blood trickles down her neck. Unfortunately for her...she has become the Angel of Death.
Although it's not entirely over with her death, a strange sound can be heard from within the green house, something Dexter begins to notice as he informs everyone to quiet down. Angel Batista inquires over the source while Dexter leads them to a nearby cupboard, which Angel prepares to open while having his gun ready. He looks to Dexter to see if he's ready, then opens it.
The Locusts
Suddenly a swarm of at least a thousand locust free themselves from the cupboard, covering the entire green house while spreading out evenly. One of them lands on Dexter's arm and he picks it up, looking in awe at this sight before making his own exit. Angel and Debra stay behind, as well as the two officers.
He walks out calmly while the locusts follow him and force everyone outside to cower down to get out of there way. Dexter while looking around manages to spot someone, a man standing there among all those that would hide. Standing in the back, but looking up with a sense of true belief is Travis Marshall. He doesn't see Dexter and rather marvels at the sight before him, smiling as the locusts fly around and up into the air. Dexter can see it though in this man, something he saw before in Brother Sam someone who truly believes. Dexter dubs this man Doomsday Number 2. Little does he realize that there is only one Doomsday Killer.The Angel Wings
Dexter returns to the forensics labs to investigate any information he can obtain from the wings used on Erin Baer. While he feels certain that the face he saw in the crowd (that of Travis') was likely connected to the murders, this newcomer chose to remain anonymous by leaving no trace evidence that could help Dexter or the department pinpoint his location or identity. An idea occurs to him to cut through the layer of wings and examine it for clues, noticing a small repair that was almost skin-like. He cuts a square off with his scalpel and observes it, believing this piece may help him identify the man in the crowd.
Dexter Morgan continues his investigation into the type of material he cut from the Angel Wing, returning an exact match to what he believed it to be: A polyvinyl acetate polymer dissolved in toluene (in other words, a type of unique glue). By analyzing the data, he's able to find that the backing is calfskin, together revealed to be used in ancient manuscript restoration which is a sure clue in identifying the face (Travis) he saw in the crowd at The Angel of Death crime scene. Vince Masuka arrives to tell Dexter to get to the Investigation Room immediately, his sister demanded their audience. He tells him he'll be there in a minute and as he gives a final look at the screen, he states "this is no amateur".
Tracking Gellar
Dexter arrives, hearing his sister say that she's glad he could finally join them. and she does a run-down on DDK's most recent victim, Erin Baer. She was a 29 year old waitress who worked at the Glass House Cage at the Miami Cultural Center. Dexter notes the location in his mind, thinking that may be just the place his "mystery person" may be working at or at least it could provide him some clues as to his whereabouts. Deb then states that she has "Unis" (uniformed officers) plastering pictures of Professor Gellar everywhere they can to get the word out on him, see if anyone's seen him. Detective Mike Anderson says he'll take lead on that and then when Deb asks where they are on the Revelations side of this investigation, Mike brings forth his findings. He says that "between the trumpet flowers placed around her, the locusts,and the iconography of an angel", that the Doomsday Killer was most likely referencing Revelation - Chapters 8 through 10. Deb asks him if he has any idea why their entrance trigger Erin's death, that typically a Serial killer wishes to do the kills themselves feeling that's the whole point. He proceeds to grab a bible and explain the following passage:
Mike: "There is a passage which reads: 'You must go back and report your message to many peoples, and nations and languages and kings.'"
Deb: "So I'm guessing we're those people" *Mike nods*
Dexter: *Inner dialogue* "It seems his message is more important than the thrill..."
Deb proceeds to ask if they found anything from the ME's Office (Medical Examiner) and Sergeant Angel Batista says that they reported traces of spermicide (a type of chemical used to prevent reproduction during sexual activity, usually distributed within spermicidal condoms) and Detective Joey Quinn states that the ME believes the victim slept with someone who uses spermicidal condoms. Deb wonders if she had sex before she was kidnapped, Quinn thinks maybe it was Gellar but Dexter personally believes that it was Gellar's accomplice (Travis Marshall). They continue to say they'll try and contact Gellar's last contact, Clarissa Porter and follow up on that lead...while Deb asks the "lab boys" what they have. Vince Masuka says that the fish and locusts were all local but he does say that they were able to find a third number on Erin Baer (lodged in her esophagus) and shows it to Deb along with the other numbers, this one being "1244". Deb runs through the numbers in her mind when a new character speaks up...
This is the first time Louis Greene is shown, where he says that he has done some checking on the numbers' usage in the Book of Revelation only to be interrupted by Debra. She asks who he is and Vince states that his name is Louis Greene, the "latest and greatest intern from his forensics class". He informs the team that Louis is up to date with the Doomsday Killer Investigation, allowing him to continue despite the question about where Ryan Chambers went (quickly dismissing it by saying she's gone, wanting to excuse the reason to protect himself and avoid humiliation).
The Count Up to 1260
Louis begins to describe that numerology is covered extensively in Revelation, however the only number that's repeatedly referenced (in the thousands) is 1260. Mike and Sergeant Angel Batista bounce the idea around wondering what exactly this is counting up to, while Louis suggests the "end of the world, the Rapture..." as suggestions. Debra asks Dexter Morgan if he has anything on the wings, who reluctantly lies that he hasn't found anything (which is a cover so he can investigate the the man in the crowd) that forces Deb to have her guys search for some more info, dismissing the meeting.
Whore of BabylonThe Whore of Babylon is roughly the longest Tableau to complete in Season Six, spanning the duration of the following episodes: The Angel of Death, Just Let Go, Nebraska and Sins of Omission.
Back at Santa Maria de Laredo, Travis and Gellar are seen on their knees at the alter praying before the statue of Christ on a cross. Travis looks over to his professor to notice an odd sight: blood trickling down from his forehead which forces Travis to look away for a moment then back to see the blood has vanished. Gellar realizes that Travis isn't paying attention to the statue of Christ and tells him to keep his "Eyes on God". After they say amen, Gellar asks Travis to help him up, which he does, and is informed that it's time for them to go hunting. Travis says that he thought that they had more time, but Gellar asks if he still can't hear God talking to him. Travis admits that he's been fasting and praying for days only that God remains silent to him while his own voice bounces around in his head. Gellar walks up to him and says that it's a good thing he's around, because their task is to find The Whore of Babylon.
Travis Meets Dexter
Dexter Morgan makes the trip out to the Miami Cultural Center in search of the man he saw previously. He creates a lie when he approaches the Docent here, saying that he "accidentally poked a hole" in a portrait that belongs to his boss. Before he can finish, the Docent leads him to a room with a projector playing a movie on art restoration. Dexter feels this won't help him but the Docent insists that he watch the video regardless, so Dexter sits down (feeling as if he's getting nowhere) when he notices the familiar face right there in the movie. He figures out that he works in the Museum, but gets a call from Detective Mike Anderson to visit the Beach House to go over a crime scene. Dexter asks the Docent the name of the man in the film, but she tells him to be silent and pay attention to the film, which forces him to walk out feeling that she's the "worst Docent ever."
Later on, Travis is seen getting inside in his vehicle and suddenly Dexter wraps his garrote wire around him, holding Travis in an asphyxiation state. When confronted by Dexter, Travis 'admits' that he could not kill the victims and that Gellar was the one who killed all of them. After hearing this, Dexter lets him go, hoping that Travis will soon lead him to Gellar (the one who really deserves his table). However, Dexter soon finds out that Gellar had been murdered by Travis years ago (having his corpse stuffed in a freezer), and that Travis' master was only hallucinated.
The Lake of Fire
After everything Travis put him through, Dexter prepares a kill room in a building not far from the ocean, and awaits Travis, who arrives moments later near the docks. They end up struggling and Travis knocks Dexter over and injects him with his own tranquilizer. Travis then ties an unconscious Dexter to a life raft adrift in the ocean, with explosives and gasoline surrounding it. When Dexter awakens, he struggles and Travis comments that he was stupid to think that he could foil "God's" own plan. He then lights a match and throws into the ocean, causing the boat to explode as Travis looks on from The Slice of Life. Dexter is able to escape into the water during the last second, while Travis is confident that "The Beast" has died. However, this is proven wrong when Dexter returns and halts Travis' plan to sacrifice Harrison as 'The Lamb of God'.
The Lamb
Travis is appalled that Dexter survived, though he still threatens to kill Harrison, should Dexter not obey his commands. Travis asks if Dexter has any M99 with him. Dexter shows him that he does and Travis commands him to inject himself. Dexter either falsely does so or injects himself with a minuscule dose so that, when Travis is about kill Dexter, he uses his reflexes to dodge the sword, before knocking Travis unconscious and then rescuing Harrison.
Death of TravisWhile strapped to an altar inside of the church, Dexter converses with Travis one last time, as he does with all of his victims and raises his blade to strike it into Travis' chest. As he does this, however, Dexter's sister Debra Morgan observes the killing and Dexter is confronted with a problem that he's never faced before - exposure of his Dark Passenger to one of the people he cares for most.
Season Seven
Dexter's LieTravis lay dead on the table as Debra stares at Dexter, questioning him about what she just saw. After a heated escalation between the two involving Debra pointing her gun at Dexter and him slowly trying to calm her, a story is fabricated by Travis' killer on to what actually occurred. According to Dexter, Travis was hiding in the church with his sword and tried to kill Dexter when he went for one last forensic sweep. Dexter claimed he somehow snapped, resulting in the strange way Travis was found and murdered, before coming back to his senses. Debra initially believes this and attempts to call in the station to arrive immediately. Dexter stops her, for his own sake...and ultimately convinces her the best way to protect him in this situation would be to dispose of the evidence.
Dexter fills the church with gasoline and lights Travis' corpse ablaze, with the Sword of John the Revelator thrust into his sternum.
Lost Bloodslide
The next day, Miami Metro Homicide arrives to investigate the crime scene with Dexter returning once more. The blood slide Dexter had of Travis fell off the table into a vent, where it was found by LaGuerta, which resulted in her suspicion that the Bay Harbor Butcher was still alive. This would make her pursue the case continuously until she could clear her old friend James Doakes' name for good.
Doomsday Tableaus
Please refer to the Main Article for more info.
The Doomsday Tableaus or Seven Tableaus refer to the seven acts of which will happen before the return of Christ in the Book of Revelation. Travis Marshall reenacts these scenes in order to cause the return of Christ believing he would be saving mankind, however each of these Tableaus takes the form of a Crime Scene in which one or more victims are intended to die.
Major Tableaus
- The Seven Headed Serpent
- The Four Horsemen
- The Angel of Death
- The Whore of Babylon
- The Bowls of Wrath
- The Wormwood
- The Lake of Fire
Minor Tableaus
- The Scales of Justice
- The Lamb (Dexter's son, Harrison Morgan, is intended to be Travis' final kill.)
Modus Operandi
The first kill (Omar Rivera) was done by first capturing a pregnant female snake in a swamp, requiring 7 baby snakes. He then approached Omar and assaulted him with an ancient roman sword over the head, dragged his body down a nearby path and attacked him once more to kill Omar. He then surgically cut open his victim's body, removed all of his intestines and replaced them with baby snakes. He then sewed up the wound and dumped the body in the ocean, expecting it to wash up on shore within the next day or so to send a message. The message, hidden beneath the sewn stitches of the symbol for "Alpha and Omega", involved the snakes...but to whom it is targeted for is unclear. The Second kill was a bit more elaborate, first capturing Nathan Roberts and convincing him to beg for forgiveness from God. In preparation, four horses were stolen from stables in Miami and mannequin parts were brought from somewhere. After Nathan was stabbed in the same location where Omar was killed, his body was cut up into multiple parts (similar to the Bay Harbor Butcher and the Ice Truck Killer), sewn piece by piece to mannequin parts that were then placed on four horses to march into town. The symbol for Alpha and Omega was on the horses heads, painted.
The third victim was a girl named Erin Baer, who developed a relationship with Travis but was seen as unsatisfactory by Professor Gellar, who decided to make her the next kill. She was placed in a green house, set up hanging on a structure with a trip wire that would activate her death. Once the wire was tripped, her arms were pulled up and her body fell while a spiked collar dug into her neck, killing her instantly. In addition, a nearby cupboard was filled with locusts as a sign of the apocalypse. The symbol for Alpha and Omega was found outside formed by dead fish. A fourth victim was intended as the whore of Babylon. Travis' duty in this situation was to brand the mark of Alpha and Omega on the victim while also providing his (and apparently Gellar's) blood for her to drink. Travis, having second thoughts on the event, releases the victim however and she is spared, but Gellar is after a new "whore of babylon", who that will end up being is up to question. Travis uses an Ancient Roman Sword of John the Revelator, surgical equipment to cut open a human corpse and sew it back up.
First body was been dumped in the ocean so it would appear on the beach within a day or so, intended to be found. Second body cut into multiple pieces, sewn to mannequins and ridden into town by four horses; intended to be found. The third body was left in a trap, alive when approached by the police before the trap was set and she was killed, hanging there with blood trickling from the wounds.

- He is the only main antagonist who attempted to kill all the main characters, through the Wormwood attack.
- Travis Marshall is the second main antagonist to be stabbed in the chest by Dexter Morgan (the first being Lila West). However, Jordan Chase was also stabbed in the chest, but he wasn't killed by Dexter.
- Travis is the first person with a true split personality on the show.
- Since Professor_James_Gellar is the personification of his inner self, Travis is the only character besides Dexter Morgan whose thoughts are shown to the audience.
- He is the second main antagonist has taken a blood slide.
- He is the final victim that Dexter Morgan Dexter creates a blood slide from.
- He seems to have an ongoing conflict between his good side and dark side, similar to Dexter Morgan. But unlike Dexter, his dark side eventually wins out
- Unlike the other main antagonists, he never visits the Miami MetroHomicide Homicide Department. However he still has involvement with the department through Beth Dorsey in her attempted attack with Wormwood.
- Travis Marshall is the youngest agonist in the series, with Lila_West from Season Two being slightly older.
- He is the first antagonist to have his Dark Passenger appear in physical form, although it was likely a schizophrenic delusion.
- He is the only antagonist who never calls Dexter by his real name. Instead he refers to him as The False Prophet or The Beast.
- He is the fourth antagonist to be a major threat to more than one main character. He attempted to kill Dexter by casting him into lake of fire, to shoot Angel Batista, and later tried to sacrifice Harrison Morgan. Dexter was able to stop him before the sacrifice could take place.
- He is the only main antagonist whose reason for killing is questionable. Unlike Dexter Morgan and Arthur_Mitchell, he did not suffer any abuse nor did he see someone being killed in his childhood. However, he suffered from severe mental illness.
- Travis Marshall and Arthur Mitchell are the only main antagonists who the viewers do not see express emotion when they are killed by Dexter Morgan. Travis' expression is not shown when Dexter stabs him in the chest, as the camera rotates to Debra Morgan who walks in and witnesses Dexter killing Travis.
- Interestingly, he shares the same surname with a previous victim of Dexter, Gene Marshall. A relationship between the two is unlikely, however.
- Travis was the last victim to have a blood slide taken (though his did not go into the blood slide box). Since Dexter destroyed his slide box, it appears Travis was the last victim to have his cheek sliced, and the last to have a trophy taken.
- Travis is the second main antagonist of the series to appear in all episodes of the season and appear in all of them as threat, with the first main antagonist to claim those traits being Arthur Mitchell in Season Four. Travis is also the first main antagonist to appear in the following season (though as a corpse), discounting Brian Moser, who appeared in Season Two and Season Six as a Passenger.
- Travis is the second main antagonist of the series to not only appear in all episodes of the season, but also served as a threat in each of his appearances; the first antagonist to have these traits in the series was Arthur Mitchell in Season Four. Interestingly, Travis and Arthur are also religious and mentally unstable individuals, both of whom changed the status quo for Dexter in some way (by the end of their respective seasons); Arthur killed Dexter's wife, Rita Morgan, before he died, while Travis' death saw to Debra finding out Dexter's true nature.

About 24 hours after a raid by federal officials on the Knoxville, Tenn., headquarters of Pilot Flying J, CEO Jimmy Haslam talked with reporters this afternoon, saying he was "shocked" by what's happening, but is confident things will work out in favor of the company.
He says the investigation by FBI and IRS representatives is based on claims that the company failed to pay the fuel rebates of some of its trucking customers. "It does not involve any tax issues," he said. "To my knowledge, there was no evasion of state or federal taxes involved."
Pilot Flying J disagrees about the accusations, said Haslam, who also said the claims are based on what he says is an "insignificant" number of customers. He did not know the exact number.
He did say the some of the company's 23 sales people have been subpoenaed following warrants executed since yesterday, but did not say who they are, nor did he say he knew what documents agents from the FBI and IRS have taken from the company's premises.
Haslam also told reporters the investigation is criminal rather than civil.
The Associated Press reports a total of four warrants have been served on Pilot Flying J, but reasons for them have been sealed by a federal court. Earlier the company said in a statement two warrants had been served. The U.S. Attorney's Office won't say where two of the them were served.
No arrests have been made as a result of the raid and warrants. All of the company's more than 600 truckstops remain open and employees at headquarters, Haslem said, showed up for work as normal.
Jimmy Haslam is also the owner of NFL's Cleveland Brown football team, which he purchased last year after stepping down as CEO, later returning to the position. He is also the brother of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslem, who earlier today told reports he was unaware of the reasons behind the investigation. Gov. Haslem says he has not been involved in the operations of Pilot Flying J in 15 years, through does hold an unspecified stake in the company that is in a blind trust.
You can view the entire press conference with Jimm Haslam from the WBIR-TV website.

We are pleased to introduce you to Erycka Montoya Pérez, who recently joined our team as the Community Engagement Manager, a new position created to focus on community-based initiatives, with support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation.
The High Line passes through an economically diverse neighborhood, home to many new residential and commercial developments, but also home to the 5,000 residents of the Elliott-Chelsea and Fulton Houses, who make up the park's largest group of immediate neighbors.
Last year, support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation enabled us to hire and train six local teens to survey more than 800 people from both of these public housing complexes to listen to what our neighbors had to say.
The survey results showed that while many of these residents were interested in the High Line, they did not make frequent visits or feel engaged with the new public park. The survey results also showed tremendous opportunities: Residents are interested in gardening programs, collaborating on cultural events on the High Line, and local recruitment and employment opportunities.
In her new role, Erycka will be working to continue to build the lines of communication between the High Line and its most immediate neighbors. With the support of AT&T, we are continuing our community engagement work, with the goal of expanding communications to the public housing complexes, increasing local participation in public programs, and continuing the tradition of open dialogue between our organization and the communities we serve.
Erycka is uniquely suited for this position. As a recent graduate with a master's degree in environmental policy and a diverse professional background, which includes community outreach in New York City's 21st Council District, workforce development in Bronx Workforce1 Career Center, and event planning in different capacities, she is looking forward to applying her skills at Friends of the High Line, and helping us strengthen the connection between neighborhood residents and the High Line.
We asked Erycka to answer a few questions about herself and her plans for the High Line.
How did you find out about the High Line?
I first came to the High Line with my cousin back in 2009, right after the park opened to the public. I was impressed by the creativity, and I am still impressed today. I still feel awe when I go up there. I remember being blown away. I was not sure what to make of it, but I wanted to take in every inch of it. It was beautiful and unlike anything I had ever seen before. I was so bummed that I didn't have my camera with me.
Describe your role at Friends of the High Line.
I'm focused on building and strengthening relationships between the communities that surround the High Line, and ultimately maintaining a vibrant community around the High Line, which is an integral part of the mission of Friends of the High Line.
My role is centered on getting to know the diverse communities that the High Line intersects. First and foremost, the High Line is a public space, and, as such, we want to ensure that people feel a sense of ownership and take pride in it. For that to be the case, the programming we offer needs to serve the needs of the public, especially our most immediate neighbors.
Describing my role is not nearly as interesting as how the need for this role was established. Last year, Friends of the High Line tabled at Hudson Guild, which is the community-based organization that once housed Friends of the High Line's office. During the tabling exercises, it became apparent that many residents from the two public housing complexes next to the High Line were unfamiliar with the park. Thanks to support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation, Friends of the High Line began a community engagement initiative that involved creating a planning committee, interviewing stakeholders, and identifying core program areas which would help build the connection between residents and the High Line.
What did the survey results show?
As part of this initiative, Friends of the High Line hired and trained local teens to conduct surveys, and the teens interviewed more than 800 residents from the Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea Houses. Most of the responses were positive; only 77 of the respondents did not know about the High Line. However, many residents expressed a sense of not belonging; feeling like the population of visitors on the High Line was not representative of the diverse demographics that make up the neighboring communities or New York City as a whole.
Another challenge identified in the survey was that the High Line did not fit into many people's ideas of a "park." The High Line has space constraints that make it impossible to allow traditional park activities like biking, barbequing, and dog-walking. But even so, those who were surveyed still showed an interest in visiting the High Line and participating in activities of interest to them, such as live performances, fashion shows, and gardening.
What are some ways that Friends of the High Line can address some of the challenges?
One of the principal ways is with regular communication. Survey results made it clear that some of the channels that the organization was relying upon to get the message out were not the most effective ones to reach our closest neighbors. The results also found that the best way to get the word out about the High Line's programming was word of mouth and distributing flyers. This is a great opportunity to get to talk to people, to get to know the neighborhood. Identifying the best avenues for promoting our initiatives to our communities is something that we're now working as a team to address.
I am also looking at what other organizations are doing to serve particular communities. Friends of the High Line wants to serve as a resource for community members, but we don't want to replicate what is already being done. Instead we want to leverage what is unique about our space, our organization, our history, and our mission, and work in partnership as much as possible. I feel that old saying, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts," certainly applies in the case of the High Line.
Many organizations around the city have staff dedicated to community engagement. Are there any organizations that stand out in your mind? Who do you look up to in the field?
I've recently started reading a book by Donna Walker-Kuhne that discusses audience development and building bridges between the arts and community. She has worked with several arts organizations such as The Public Theater, the Apollo Theater and Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. It has been a helpful resource in framing community engagement for me.
Tom Finkelpearl and his team from the Queens Museum of Art have also done an amazing job. As a lifetime resident of Queens, I've seen the changes and how the institution has evolved as it has taken on community engagement in myriad ways. This is an institution that is highly responsive to the needs of its local community, and that is certainly something that I want to bring to the table as well.
Strong relationships develop over time and with a lot of dedication. Looking ahead, what are your plans for building and strengthening relationships with local neighbors?
That's a great point. There is only one way to develop relationships and build trust and that is to make yourself available and listen closely. My short term plans are pretty standard for an organizer – talking to people, individuals, community groups, leaders, and organizations to find out what services are currently being offered. I attend community board meetings, tenants association meetings. These are tried and true approaches that require a lot of leg work, but are also incredibly rewarding. I love learning about people's experience with the High Line and even more exciting is discussing new ways that the park can better serve them. My goals center around finding the best ways for the High Line to serve as a community resource.
The High Line welcomed more than 3.7 million visitors in 2011. Recent visitor surveys showed that about half of the park's visitors are New Yorkers, while the remaining half is split between visitors from abroad or other parts of the United States. If the High Line continues to be a destination for visitors, can it also be a backyard park for locals?
Of course! Sometimes in New York City, it can feel like we're always trying to pit one thing against the other. Lin vs. Carmelo. Mets vs. Yankees. (Mets, by the way, despite all the Yankee Championships.) But the best part about living in this city is that natives, transplants, and tourists have always co-existed and fed off of each other's energy. The High Line remains a testament to that resilience.
That the park is now among the many wonders that attract visitors to our city does not take away anything from the High Line. In fact, it serves to remind us why it's so important to appreciate what's in our own backyard. Every day I see people from nearby offices and businesses having their lunch at the High Line. Families that live nearby are coming to Arty Hours and Wild Wednesdays every week. Step to the High Line featured steppers from our local schools. Our High Line Teen Picks film series directly responds to the requests from our neighbors for specific programming at the High Line. I think that as we continue to get feedback, we can continue to be a responsive public space and serve the communities around us.
Since the High Line opened in 2009, Friends of the High Line has organized fun events and free activities for all ages, and it will be interesting to see how the programs develop over time and with collaboration from the park's immediate neighbors. This year marks the first time the High Line will host a movie series curated entirely by local teens. Can you tell us about that?
I came on board after much of the planning for this series had been done, but I was excited to be part of the outreach strategy and I am grateful for the teens letting me join them.
High Line Teen Picks was a free summer movie series presented by Friends of the High Line and AT&T, and the entire series was curated by local teens. Emily Pinkowitz, our Manager of Education, Teen & Family Programs, worked closely with the teens throughout the entire process. She helped them think through the different elements that go into planning any kind of programming, as well as specifics to curating a movie series.
The teens chose a theme and then picked movies that fit into it. The theme they decided to go with was "overcoming challenges" because they felt that this related to the story of the High Line itself. They were inspired by how this once abandoned railway that was seen as blight represented something of beauty and worth saving by Friends of the High Line's founders. And this cause required a lot of perseverance from those who believed in it to re-invent this space, just as the characters within the movies strive to reinvent themselves.
Another element of a successful movie series is the communications outreach strategy. The teens met with our Communications staff to think about different ways to get the word out. Together they developed a marketing plan, and they were gracious enough to let me weigh in on the part that involved setting up a table at different sites throughout the neighborhood and inviting people to vote on the first film to be shown during the series. The teens also posted flyers within their housing complexes. I'm a little sad that it's over because I had such a great time working with them.
What are some things you enjoy doing in your free time?
I really enjoy entertaining and playing hostess! I'm always up for a little dancing. Salsa is my favorite but I'm a little out of practice. Reading- I love going to Strand and La Casa Azul Bookstore and leaving with three or four new books then I have something to look forward to when I'm commuting. Rollerblading and photography are two things I'm hoping to tackle on a more regular basis.
Recently you've worked in the Bronx, Queens, and Bogota, Colombia. How are you enjoying West Chelsea? Have you found a good coffee shop and a stand-by place for lunch?
I've found several go-to places for lunch, coffee, and breakfast—very important as I love to eat!
When I need rice and beans, Casa Havana does the trick. For a great salad or sandwich, I hit up Bottino. It still tastes as good as it did over 12 years ago; I love their balsamic vinaigrette. It's the simplest things that make the biggest difference. Cookshop's morning coffee bar has quickly become a favorite for a quick and delicious breakfast. Their frittatas and focaccia are so good. And the service is always stellar. For those occasions when I don't have coffee in the office, I usually go to Joe, Think Coffee, or Stone Street Coffee Company on Ninth Avenue.
Did I mention I like to eat before? For a cold treat on a hot day, I love the choices on the High Line: gelato from L'Arte del Gelato, ice cream sandwiches from Melt Bakery, or a paleta from La Newyorkina. It's hard to go wrong. Oh, and how could I forget about Hector's Café? It's a neighborhood institution.
What advice can you give someone who is thinking about visiting the High Line?
Whether you're a local or from out of town, come ready to be wowed, and do yourself a favor and have an ice cream sandwich from Melt Bakery. You'll feel so much better. It will melt all your troubles away. (Pun intended.)
If you are lucky enough to live in New York City, check out our program calendar and take advantage of all the free and low-cost events and activities at the park. There's something for everyone. Looking for a date night with some live Latin music and dancing? We got it. Or maybe something a little more low-key like watching a movie as the sun goes down? Looking for some activities for young kids? There are several choices. There really is a lot going on; talks that explore adaptive re-use projects being undertaken in other cities, stargazing, art installations to explore—the best way to stay informed is to sign up for our email newsletter and to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
For the out of town visitor, make sure to charge the camera beforehand. If you want to shop at the end of your visit, enter the High Line at West 30th Street and work your way south. Below the southern end of the High Line, you'll find all sorts of shops and boutiques. If you're looking to unwind, enter the High Line at Gansevoort Street, and walk north toward West 16th Street. You can enjoy a snack or a meal from an array of food vendors on the High Line; I enjoy sitting on the Diller – von Furstenberg Sundeck or in the 10th Avenue Square. Then keep walking up to West 30th Street and enjoy the urban escape.
And everyone should take a moment before fall arrives to dip their feet in the water feature, which is located on the High Line between West 14th and West 15th Streets.
Who inspires you?
My mom and my sister. I know that is not very creative and incredibly corny. But it's true. They work so incredibly hard and they have both sacrificed so much. I find their strength and resilience incredible.
In one word, how do you describe the High Line experience?
Único. Exhale. Respite. Urban-oasis.
That is three words and a phrase.
To pick just one is so limiting. It's like asking me to pick my favorite food or choose between skinny jeans and bootcuts. They each have their purpose, and the spaces throughout the High Line are different and therefore evoke different sentiments.

Community Engagement at Friends of the High Line is supported in part by the Nathan Cummings Foundation and AT&T.

On taxes, the White House has signaled it is prepared to let all of the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts expire at the end of the year if Republicans refuse to limit a tax-cut extension to income below $25,000 a year for married couples.
"We have to ensure that taxes do not go up on middle-class families," Obama said today. "That is an agenda that Democrats and Republicans and independents, people all across the country, can share."
Unlike in mid-2011, when talks between Obama and Boehner collapsed, outside market and political forces are bearing down on lawmakers.
Credit ratings agencies including Moody's Investors Service have said an additional credit downgrade could occur if talks fail. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has warned of a recession in 2013, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has said he has few options in his tool box should the U.S. suffer an economic shock.
Well Positioned
Following a mid-2011 agreement to lift the nation's borrowing limit that contained $1.2 trillion in Republican- driven spending cuts, and an election where Democrats picked up seats in the House and Senate, the party says it's well positioned to secure a debt-reduction package weighted mostly toward revenue.
As they try to find a solution both sides can accept, some moves that ease the math complicate the politics.
Republicans oppose higher rates while the limits on tax breaks they prefer generate opposition from interest groups that rely on them, including nonprofit organizations, the home- building industry and residents of high-tax states.
"To get serious revenue, you have to go after the stuff that's big," said Alan Viard, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, which favors limited government. "By definition, the stuff that's really big are the things that people are really using."
Obama wants $1.6 trillion in higher taxes for top earners over the next decade, achieved through a combination of limits on breaks and higher tax rates on ordinary income, capital gains, dividends and estates.
The biggest question is how many votes of his Republican rank-and-file Boehner could lose to produce a revenue compromise in the House, where he oversees an "unstable majority" that's rejected spending bills and last year's debt ceiling increase, said Virginia Representative Gerry Connolly, a Democrat.

For decades, autism spectrum disorders have been assumed to be life-long conditions. Recently, evidence has begun to emerge suggesting that a significant minority of children with well-documented Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can recover; in 2008 the first research publication to define and review recovery
was released, placing the percentage of children who recover in the range of 3-25%.
In December 2008, a team of researchers from the University of Connecticut and their colleagues published an inspiring and provocative article documenting cases of recovery in autism. Recovery was defined as previously having had clearly defined ASD but currently no longer meeting criteria for any ASD. Furthermore, the recovered individual is now learning and using skills with a "quality that reaches the trajectory of typical development in most or all areas." Using these criteria, the research team documented and followed a group of children, now between 8-18 years of age, with a history of ASD who are now "recovered." The authors point out that children who recover from autism may nevertheless be at risk for other challenges, such as subtle difficulties with some aspects of language, anxiety, or learning disabilities.
In a previous study, the same researchers reported several cases of ASD that evolved into ADHD with no autism. Interestingly, most of these children had evidence of early regression and recurrent ear infections. Most had also received early intensive behavioral intervention. Recent outcome studies have shown that core symptoms of autism tend to improve by adulthood, especially difficulties in the areas of communication. Several outcome studies have found that about 10-20 percent of adults previously diagnosed with ASD no longer meet criteria for the condition.
How can recovery occur? One clear possibility is that successful treatment moved children who had ASD off of the spectrum. However, as the researchers point out, since most children who receive even the best and most intensive intervention do not recover, treatment alone cannot be the explanation. Both treatment and inherent characteristics of the child are likely to explain recovery. The research team therefore looked for child characteristics that predict optimal outcome, identifying higher IQ, receptive language ability, verbal and motor imitation, motor development, and an early age at diagnosis and initiation of treatment as promising predictors. In the majority of studies that report recovery, behavior intervention was used alone or in combination with other therapies.
The authors point out that although early intervention is associated with optimal outcome, this fact should not be used as an argument against the need for intervention in older children in light of the growing evidence of brain plasticity throughout the life span. Finally, this thoughtful article considers a wide range of biological mechanisms that may help explain the process of recovery. Future research directions will now provide us with insights into ways of improving the outcomes – and the chances for recovery – for all individuals with ASD.

My car broke down and I decided to get a used truck that stickered for about $9k. After tax and license, it's like $10k. So after a $3k down payment. the only place that would give me a loan wants to charge me 24.9% APR! AND I need full coverage which is $100 more per month.
My credit score is 531 on TU. Other than school loans, I have nothing really on there. (All bad debt from when I was young dropped off). Also, I just got a $70K job this past year that allows me to start rebuilding my credit. But, I'm not sure if this is a good a way to start.
I dont' have very much expenses. Just a phone bill, car insurance, and student loan payments. Plus I also do freelance web design on the side for extra income. If I wanted to, I could pay off this loan in about 3 months semi-comfortably. However, I can't tell if that's a horrible idea or not. I could also pay most of it up front, then pay it through 12 months. Maybe a better idea?
Other info:
They want to charge me $750 fee (which they added on to the loan amount) for being a risky "financier"
I've been shopping around A LOT for a month and a half and found this is a good price for the truck I want - low miles, reliable model, in my price range
I've never had a car in my own name and I guess they looked at that when trying to finance me.
I plan on getting a secured credit card.
If I DO plan on getting this truck, should I just pay off the loan in three months? Or should I pay it off in a year to attempt to improve my credit score for when I want to get a car I really want down the line?
There's so many variables in play, I can't figure it out! Thanks in advance.
For what you are going to pay in fees and interest you could buy a second vehicle.
Can you survive without the vehicle for 90 days? Use a friend or family car? Public transportation?
If so, wait the 3 months and pay cash!
Can you find a get me by car for the $3k you have on hand?
If you so choose to go the route you have told us about......pay that thing off as fast as possible!!!!!!
Will it hurt my score substantially if I pay it off that early? And will it help my score substantially if I pay it off ina year instead... considering I don't have much in my file?
Once you open it, it will be on your report for 7-10 years. You will not gain the points per month as far as payments go but showing the loan amount and PIF is going to help. However, do not even consider paying interest and fees like that just for the sake of credit score!!!
There are many many many other options to build credit without doing that.
The terms you described are outrageous and you are just throwing away your money...that is NOT a sound financial choice.
You can pay off this car in 3 months, but you want to take a loan at 25%?
If it's about 10K and you can pay it off in 3 months... does this mean you take in an extra 3.3K per month?
If that is so, I'd just use the $3,000 or LESS to buy a beater car. Use that for a few months, save up for a better car and pay that off cash.
No way anyone should pay a car loan at 25% and then pay OTHER fees on top of that.
Follow my financial journey: http://www.frugalrican.com
Try somewhere else, a reputable dealer. Not sure where you are applying - a used car lot or a brand backed dealer i.e. Ford, Honda, I think it makes a difference. Back in May I got a used car from a dealer financed by Wells Fargo at 10% TU was in the 500's. My previous car was financed at 20% with Santander. My score was prob in the 400's. With 3K down, I would think a good dealership will be sure you walk out with something affordable, with a better interest rate.
Good luck. Hope you get a good deal and car you like!
The lender is sleazy. By paying them an extra $750 fee, you're effectively paying them a bonus as a reward for their being sleazy. Do your civic duty and help put them out of business by refusing to do business with them, even if it means you have to drive a clunker for a few months.
Yeah. You guys are right. So I was looking for a beater, but I wanted to find one that was reliable that I could eventually resell and I didn't have to repair much. I think that was the hardest part.
Today, I was coming home from work and I found a 2000 jeep grand cherokee for $4300, 165k miles. High miles, but from edmunds reviews... very reliable. Maybe not as much as the 2004 Frontier I was going to get from that sleazy dealer, but reliable and I can pay cash. sweeet!
As long as the carfax checks out and it runs well, I'm going to go with that and save up for a truck in like a year. hopefully, resell the laredo for a few grand. No auto loan means no postitive credit from a loan paid in full though. I'll spend the next year working on my credt (i assume a secured credit card is the best way to go).
Thanks everyone for your help talking myself out of a dumb situation.
That is a very good choice you made......I am glad you are going that route instead. You will be glad also 6-12 months from now.
Yes. ThanksSO MUCH for the advice. I've learned a ton about how credit works in the past couple weeks. I suppose that when someting spurs someone to fix their credit up, such as getting turned down for a car loan, there's a TON of resources out there to help learn about it. And boy, is it interesting how it all works. Sorta fun even... and sorta like a sick and twisted game. haha. But either way, it's all very enlightening.

24 brewers make this year's Brewfest largest yet
September 18, 2003
Steamboat Mountain Brewfest is the last big party before ski season begins.
"It's always been a huge social event for locals," organizer Jolene Esswein said. "And I've watched it grow into a bonafide brewers' event." Esswein was surprised to get unsolicited calls from brewers as far away as California who wanted to be involved.
Stone Brewing Co. from California joined the brewery lineup this year as it tries to increase its presence in Colorado.
This year's Brewfest will be the largest with 24 brewers, compared with 21 serving last year.
Organizers instructed brewers to double their beer supplies to avoid the misfortune of two years ago, when taps ran dry within the first couple of hours.
"That was unfortunate. The beer ran out early, and it was a really hot day," Esswein said. "But we have 24 breweries bringing three, four and five kegs each. I don't think we'll run out."

Other new breweries joining the lineup this year are Kaltenberg Castle Brewery from Vail, Smugglers Brewery from Telluride and Phantom Canyon Brewing Co. from Colorado Springs.
Mahogany Ridge will represent Steamboat.
This is the thirteenth year for the event that started as a small event in Ski Time Square with no more than four or five breweries.
"There was no gate," Esswein said. "Brewfest was mixed in with the rest of the Fall Foliage Festival."
As the popularity of the event and the number of brewers grew, the Brewfest was cordoned off and eventually moved to its current home south of Torian Plum Plaza.
The Fall Foliage Festival takes place in Gondola Square, providing a family-friendly atmosphere away from the social, Brewfest bacchanal.
The Mountain Business Assoc-iation, which organizes the Brewfest, started the Fall Foliage Festival 13 years ago but handed it over to the chamber after the first year. Because of time constraints on the part of the chamber, the festival is back in the hands of the MBA.
The Fall Foliage Festival takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and includes an arts and crafts fair, sidewalk sale and kids corral with The Umpa Band.

I saw an extruded aluminum strip possibly a foot long which was used to secure the footpads on the board. It almost looked like something from the windsurfing world. The board was a production board (I forget the brand name)
To hold the pads on there was a bolt that went through it with a head under the lip of the extrusion. It was a very elegant easy to adjust setup that would work with any foot pad.
Does anyone know
what it's called and
where to get it or
how to fabricate something like it?

Henrik Pedersen graduated as a fashion designer in 1990 but uses his education to explore the full range of design. His interest for maths together with his wide-ranging experience give him an intuitive ability to quickly gauge if a new design will work or not. 'Experience and knowledge help, but the difference lies in how you use it. Good common sense and a passion for your craft will take you far.'
Henrik Pedersen has created one of the most luxurious sofas to date, with comfort and beauty in equal measures. Henrik wanted the Hampton sofa to be a big and comfortable loft sofa, but without the bulky look. Just like the Hamptons in New York it is a calm oasis for busy city dwellers. The low wide seats bring a grounded look while the adjustable back cushions give the sofa its dynamic appearance.
I get inspired by seeing things up close. Little details that can evolve into a complete product.
