My Dock Icons Won't Get off My Dock?

First one is finder, and it'll always be there no matter what as it's always running. The others you could try right-clicking and "Remove From Dock".

What's the icon that's susupended above the rest and if it's the address book, why are you getting rid of it? I freated a folder that I can clean up the dock but keep all the icons.

I can't help noticing that you also have six apps running. ie. the little white lights under each app. If these are the ones you're trying to get rid of, you'll have to quit them first. Click on them, and then go to the file menu, and quit.
EDIT: OK, if you're trying to kill the 6 most left icons, that only applies to the first, the Finder, which you cannot kill.

Tried all that
I've done all those things, I've even reset my .plist for my dock and nothing seems to work. The applications that won't get off my dock that I don't want are address book, ical, preview, time machine, and photo booth. When I right click the icon the remove from dock selection is not even there and in the previous picture I was demonstrating how the trash wad of paper was not appearing next to the address book when I dragged it off my dock. On every application that I do want on my dock the remove from dock selection is still there.
