Former CMU student charged with poisoning of roommate jailed after bond violation
Former Central Michigan University student Kayla Ashlyn Bonkowski, charged with poisoning her sorority roommate, broke bond conditions by going to a popular Mt. Pleasant nightspot and being in the same place as her alleged victim, an Isabella County judge ruled.
A sobbing Bonkowski exchanged quick expressions of love with her parents and boyfriend before being swiftly escorted out a side courtroom door and into the Isabella County Jail just after noon Tuesday.
Three witnesses, including one called by defense attorney Todd Levitt, all testified that Bonkowski was at the Wayside bar on the evening of Jan. 8.
"For the life of me, I don't understand why you came up here and made the decision to go inside the bar," Trial Court Judge Mark Duthie said.
Bonkowski, who has withdrawn from CMU and enrolled at Macomb Community College, had been ordered to stay away from anyplace that serves alcohol; she was also told not be within 100 feet of her former roommate.
She drove to Mt. Pleasant from her Sterling Heights home that night to see her boyfriend, a CMU student.
"Until the dust settles, you just aren't getting it and you're going to be held until we figure out where this case is going," Duthie said.
Bonkowski faces a settlement conference Wednesday, the last step to work a plea agreement before trial.
She is accused of putting bleach in her roommate's drink on Nov. 11 after an apparent spat over dirty dishes. In a written statement describing the incident for police. Bonkowski also said her roommate is "mean," according to court records.
Bonkowski's victim was the first to testify. Continued...
"I was in the area by the pool tables with my friends, and I saw her," she said. "I didn't know what to do, so I asked my friends and they said I should call the police."
Bonkowski's boyfriend, who said he coaxed her to the Wayside that night and paid her cover charge, gave a similar account, with the main difference being the amount of time she was in the bar.
Witnesses called by Mark Kowalczyk, principal trial attorney for Isabella County, said they saw Bonkowski at the bar several times between roughly 11:15 p.m. that night and 1 a.m. the next morning.
But her boyfriend, William Settle, a CMU sophomore, said Bonkowski was in the bar no more than 20 minutes.
"She had seen members of her previous sorority and she didn't feel comfortable," Settle said. "I walked her to the door. She was there 15 to 20 minutes tops."
In ordering her jailed, Duthie ruled that Bonkowski had intentionally entered a bar, and that whether or not she knew her alleged victim was there, or how close they were together that night, didn't matter since being in a bar was a violation itself.
Bonkowski is charged with poisoning of food or water, a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

In today's "hostile" financial climate we all need to tighten our belts and hold off on spending. The world is changing and big things await those that have patience. Now is the time to save and get ready for the big turnaround.
If you ever wanted to get into the property market the time is coming soon. As soon as the financial tide turns there will be lots of bargains up for grabs. Now I know that there are bargains out there now, but I would caution any one, that wants to be a real estate investor, from buying now. The market, and this is just my opinion, is not stable yet and we are still in for a rocky ride.
Instead of buying every "bargain" now, rather save up for when the time is right. The more cash you have in hand the better. If you have cash, you have negotiation power and you can get property at even better prices. And once you get a foot in the door, at the right time, your real estate empire will grow.
Now there are lots of ways you can start saving and one affective way is to make sure you have the best credit card deal, you will be amazed how much money you can save, and then pay off debt, if your credit card rate is good. And sooner than you know your debt will be paid off and you are financially free.
So start getting ready today and when the tide turns, you will reap the rewards

Maplewood Manor will now be transferred to a Local Development Corporation. The LDC would in turn look for a private operator to purchase and run the facility in the future.
The plan passed Tuesday night with a 16-5 vote. Saratoga Springs County Supervisor Joanne Yepsen voted against the plan. She tells us she's concerned with accountability if the home is placed in private hands.
Those in support of the plan say the nursing home should be sold in order save the county millions of dollars each year.
More than 200 residents currently live at Maplewood Manor.

6. | Fire Emblem | ||
A series of tactical role-playing games (TRPG) developed by Intelligent Systems. Having been released only in Japan, the series achieved minimal popularity if any at all outside the country where it originated. However, due to the release of the Fire Emblem characters Marth (Fire Emblem 1) and Roy (Fire Emblem 6) with the game Super Smash Bros. Melee, the series experienced surprising demand from the USA and Europe. As a result, Fire Emblem 7: Rekka no Ken was released in the United States as a GBA title simply named Fire Emblem. As of the writing, this release has been followed up by Fire Emblem 8: Seima no Kouseki. It is well known for the unique feature that characters who die remain dead for the entire adventure and cannot possibly be revived (with some rare exceptions in earlier games). No, fools. Marth and Roy are not in the next game. Shut up.
1. | fire emblem | ||
1. One of the most popular sagas in Nintendo, that is overlooked by American players. Consists in a series of 9 games in total, plus four extra levels which could be downloaded from Nintendo in Japan. The games come in this order:
a) Fire Emblem: In this game Marth made its appearance, to save his motherland against the forces of the evil Dolua empire. b) Fire Emblem Gaiden: Alm and Celica travel across the continent of Valencia, to restore peace to their respective kingdoms. c) Fire Emblem, Mystery of the Emblem: a Remake of the first one, but featuring more levels, and some minor changes. d) Fire Emblem, Genealogy of the Holy War: perhaps the most known Fire Emblem ever to exist, where Sigurd and his friends set out to combat countless enemies in huge maps, and features a "Generation system", which allows two characters to mate and have children. With this, the children of those who mated during Sigurd period appear in the next period, where Celice (Sigurd's son) fights against the Grandbell Empire. e) Fire Emblem, Thracia 776: This game is the most difficult of all Fire Emblem. Its main character is Leif, Celice's cousin. He attempts to start out a rebellion to recover his homeland from the tyrannical rule of King Trabant of Thracia, whom is aided by the Grandbell Empire. f) Fire Emblem, Sword of Seals: The game features Roy as the main Lord of the game. He fights against the Kingdom of Bern, which is bent on world domination. g) Fire Emblem, Blazin... |
2. | Fire Emblem | ||
The best thing that happened to Nintendo Since Smash Bros I used to be addicted to crack now im addicted to Fire Emblem
3. | Fire Emblem | ||
A series of Strategy/Role Play Games made and produced in Japan. Currently consists of a series of 9 games. For now, only one game, FE7, Rekka No Ken, has made it to US shores. After FE7's great fame with American gamers, it is likely that FE8, Seima no Kouseki and FE9, for the Game Cube, will come to the USofA in the future. Keep praying, maybe you'll get Fire Emblem for Christmas!
Fire Emblem is the best game! It pwns everything!! |
4. | fire emblem | ||
An incredibly addictive fantasy tactical-RPG series just recently starting to show up in the United States with the relaes of Fire Emblem 7, or simply Fire Emblem in the US. Hopefully, Nintendo will be nice enough to release the earlier Fire Emblem games in the US as well. Fire Emblem is so much better than Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
5. | Fire Emblem | ||
A game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. Origonally only found in Japan, news spread of the Fire Emblem series from SSBM (Super Smash Bros. Melee), where Prince Roy and Prince Marth, two young swordsmen, made their first appearance. The Fire Emblem series' are medival/fantasy rpg games, although strategy as well, with similar game play as Tactics Ogre.
The first to be released in America is Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken/Fuuin no Tsurugi (Titles are currently confused with previous game in time line.) where Roy's father, Eliwood and a young girl name Lin are the protagonists. Said to be released in the fourth quarter of 2003, or November 3rd-6th. (Sooo near to my B-Day! Is that not, like, some kind of omen?) "OMFG! Roy is so cute! I can't wait for Fire Emblem!" "Fox, the Fire Emblem comming out doesn't have him." "Shaddap, j00!"
7. | Fire Emblem | ||
A series of strategy video games often with characters who have jobs. There is often one Lord, and if that Lord dies, then it's game over. If anyone else dies, you can restart the game or continue on, but it's best to have a large army IMHO. The current (from the first one to Brawl) Fire Emblem characters which are in the games are Roy, Marth, and Ike. The Assist Trophies that has a Fire Emblem character is only Lyn. God dammit! I can't get Joshua in Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones! So hard...

"Two and a Half Men" actor calls his show "filth" WITH VIDEO
NEW YORK (AP) — The teenage actor who plays the half in the hit CBS comedy "Two and a Half Men" says in a video posted online by a Christian church that the show is "filth" and that viewers shouldn't watch it.
Nineteen-year-old Angus T. Jones has been on the show, which used to feature bad-boy actor Charlie Sheen and remains heavy with sexual innuendo, since he was 10 but says he doesn't want to be on it anymore.
"Please stop watching it," Jones said. "Please stop filling your head with filth."
Jones plays Jake, the son of Jon Cryer's uptight divorced chiropractor character, Alan, and the nephew of Sheen's hedonistic philandering music jingle writer character, Charlie. Sheen, who has publicly criticized CBS, was fired and replaced by Ashton Kutcher, who plays billionaire Walden.
In the video posted by the Forerunner Chronicles in Seale, Ala., Jones describes a search for a spiritual home. He says the type of entertainment he's involved in adversely affects the brain and "there's no playing around when it comes to eternity."
Watch a report on the actor's comments during today's News at Noon.
"You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that," he said. "I know I can't. I'm not OK with what I'm learning, what the Bible says, and being on that television show."
CBS and producer Warner Bros. Television had no comment Monday.
"Two and a Half Men" survived a wild publicity ride less than two years ago, when Sheen was fired for his drug use and publicly complained about the network and the show's creator, Chuck Lorre. Sheen later said he wasn't still angry at the sitcom's producers and the network and acknowledged he would have fired himself had he been in their shoes. Continued...
The show was moved from Monday to Thursday this season, and its average viewership has dropped from 20 million an episode to 14.5 million, although last year's numbers were somewhat inflated by the intense interest in Kutcher's debut. It is the third most popular comedy on television behind CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" and ABC's "Modern Family."
The actors on "Two and a Half Men" have contracts that run through the end of this season.

By KBB.com Editors
The NV is Nissan's recent entry in the full-size van market, and is meant to take on the venerable but aging models from Ford and General Motors. Introduced in 2012, the Nissan NV is available as a cargo van or passenger van. Cargo models have a vast amount of space suitable for a variety of tasks and are available with a raised roof, while passenger versions can transport up to 12 people. Each is offered with the choice of a V6 or V8 engine. Along with its overall freshness, strong engines and relatively refined ride in what has become a stale segment, the 2013 Nissan NV has a competitive price that begins at just over $26,000 for cargo models and around $33,000 for passenger versions.
The 2013 Nissan NV offers a lot of vehicle and flexibility for the money. If you need a full-size van that accommodates much cargo or can transport up to 12 people, the NV is a much fresher platform than its Ford E-Series and GM rivals, and a less-expensive one than that offered by the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
If you want your van to have a diesel engine or all-wheel drive, look to Mercedes-Benz's Sprinter or the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana twins for the diesel option, or, for all-wheel drive, the Chevy/GMC models. Meanwhile, Ford's all-new Transit full-size van is just around the corner to replace the E-Series. If you need something smaller and more fuel efficient, look to Ford's Transit Connect or Nissan's own NV200.
As it was just introduced in 2012, changes are minimal for the 2013 Nissan NV. They include a vinyl wear patch added to the inside bolster of front-row cloth seats, and three new exterior colors.
Driving Impressions The standard powerplant in the 2013 Nissan NV1500, NV2500 HD cargo and NV3500 passenger van is Nissan's trusty 4.0-liter V6 that proves surprisingly capable in this big hauler. Even with...
a full crew aboard, the V6 pulls strongly, though it does tend to labor a bit once up to speed. Those needing more power to easily haul or tow heavier loads should look to the bigger 5.6-liter V8, standard in the NV3500 HD cargo and the top NV passenger model. That engine grants the NV with a maximum payload capacity of 3,925 pounds and towing maximum of 9,500 pounds. The Nissan NV's ride and handling are about what you'd expect from a rolling brick. That said, we appreciate the NV's suspension, which does a good job stabilizing this big vehicle in turns. Its 45.2-foot turning diameter is large, but betters that of the Ford E-Series and Chevy Express. The NV's acceleration ability allows it to keep up with its Ford and GM rivals, and is better than the slower (but fuel efficient) diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.INTEGRATED SEAT BELTS
If you've ever had to wrangle your way past a web of ceiling-mounted seat belts to reach the back of a shuttle, the Nissan NV's clever way of integrating the belts into the seats is a welcome solution.
The NV offers not just a lot of interior space – it offers that room in a smart way for better utilization. The front passenger seat in cargo versions of the van, for example, folds forward to create a work station, while hooks, floor-mounted D-rings and multiple mounting points allow you to secure all manner of items in the NV's rear cavity.
As the 2013 Nissan NV is available as a cargo or passenger van, it's not surprising that their interiors are a tale of two vehicles. In cargo form, the NV seats just a driver and passenger, with the rest of the space in back ready to hold whatever you wish, from boxes of widgets to customized shelving and hardware to suit the task at hand. For those needing the most space, models with the high roof option expand cargo volume to 323.1 cubic feet, vs. the 234.1 cubic feet in standard-roof models. Passenger versions of the Nissan NV, on the other hand, have four rows of seats that hold a total of 12 passengers: two bucket seats up front, followed by a pair of 3-seat benches, and a 4-across bench in the back. The rear rows of seats are removable for added cargo flexibility (Nissan counts a total of 324 seating configurations).
As with the interior, the Nissan NV's exterior profile comes in two different forms depending on which roof you choose: standard or high. With the standard roof, which is the only option on passenger models, the NV looks like one massive rectangle on wheels. The high-roof option is available on NV2500 HD and NV3500 cargo versions and extends the NV's slab higher, albeit with a sharply angled front that extends from the windshield. With the high roof option, a 6-foot-tall person can stand upright in the cargo hold. Windows can be added to the sides and rear of the NV to open up the space and increase visibility. A sliding door on the passenger side allows entry to the NV's rear, while the back doors have a 243-degree maximum opening range for easier loading.
Standard features in a base NV1500 cargo van include air conditioning, scads of cargo mounts, pre-wiring for electrical upfitting, a tilt (but not telescoping) steering wheel, a 2-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with auxiliary input, and electronic traction control. Base passenger models include seating for 12 with a dozen rear heating and cooling vents, eight cup holders/three bottle holders, and a total of four speakers for the audio system. The lowest trims of both passenger and cargo models still use manual crank windows and doorlocks (for a few hundred dollars more you can get the Power Basic Package that rectifies this and adds cruise control).
Upgrades for the Nissan NV include a navigation system, Bluetooth wireless communication, front and side-curtain airbags, dual-zone air conditioning (passenger models), a power driver's seat, remote keyless entry, and a rear-view monitor. A V8 engine, standard on top trims, is available on the NV2500 cargo and the two lower versions of passenger models in lieu of the V6. Top trims of each version have many of these features, including rear sonar system and, in passenger models, leather-appointed seats that are heated in front. Those who need to tow can add a Class IV tow hitch receiver.
The 2013 Nissan NV comes with a 261-horsepower V6 engine that easily out-powers the V6 offered in the GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express. Optional on other models and standard in top trims is a more powerful 5.6-liter V8 good for 385 horsepower that also outpowers the comparable V8s offered in vans by Ford and GM. Both engines run on regular unleaded gasoline and are connected to 5-speed automatic transmissions. All Nissan NV vans are rear-wheel drive. The EPA has yet to supply fuel economy ratings for the 2013 Nissan NV.

The Nissan NV cargo van has a Manufacturer's Suggest Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $26,415. Passenger versions begin just under $33,000. A well-equipped cargo version can reach the mid-$30,000 range, while a loaded passenger version hovers around $40,000. At its base price, the 2013 Nissan NV cargo is in line with base versions of the GMC Savana/Chevy Express, slightly less than a base Ford E-Series, and several thousand less than a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Before buying, be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price below to see what others in your area are paying for the Nissan NV. Over the years, the Nissan NV is expected to hold its value as well as or better than its Ford and GM rivals.

"I brought my V6 hightop used with 36,000 miles. Empty I got about 18 mpg. Since I have loaded the van with my tools and equipment. I am now getting 13 mpg. This van is the best work van I have owned. The ride is smoothe and firm. I have a lot of leg room and head room in my van. The V6 is strong and qiuet. The only thing I wish for was a v8."

"I bought this 2 weeks ago used and drove it 1500kms home and just love it.It has 25000km and works like a charm. For work I haul around 1500pounds of stuff and the V6 works very well and is ample power. On the highway I got 18mpg and my combined now is showing about 16. Nissan have done a great job making sure of a convenient, comfortable and smart work truck with their amazing back doors and side sliding door. Inside everything is nicely done with grab handles to power outlets to tye downs and lots of compartments which I find great.I have a 2007 Chevy Express 2500 which is going for sale and good bye. If Chevy and Ford don't wake up the NV is going to kick their butt. There is no comparison in the boxes and comfort of the Nissan to the Chevy. I did not rate the reliability as I just purchased it but the previous owner said there were no issues whatsoever with it."

"Just returned from a Tx to FL trip with 9 us in the van and towing a 30 ft. travel trailer. This van blows away my previous vans; a 2002 Dodge 3500 and the 2007 Ford E350XLT 6.0 Turbo-diesel that I traded in on this. The handling , comfort, stability and power of this van are all impressive. The transmission is amazing in how it handles towing a large load, I never once had to floor it. The three 12 volt and two 120volt outlets were very handy. Without a trailer the backup camera makes parking this beast absolutely easy. Biggest drawbacks; not offered with running boards or any type of video options. This van is the only one to have for large families like ours"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 15,000
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "Ride, looks, power, gas milage,etc"
Cons: "Ladder rack placement"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have owned the van for four months now and have now complaints at all! I that time I have put over 15000 miles on the NV1500 and it is alot smoother then the ford or chevy that I have driven owned in the past. If they can build enough of them this will take the place of the Ford and Chevy models now offered. They have not left anything out on this Van. Now with eveything there are good and bad points. The good is ride, gas milage, power, space, looks(everyone wants to know what it is?), and the rear doors make loading and unloading much easier. Now the only bad thing I have found so far is the ladder rack mounting points. They offer alot of different options put the rear one is not back far enough. It is hard to put large ladders on the van without scratching the roof. Besides that I would recomends this to anyone loking at buying a new work van."

I don't own this car
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "Comfort, functionality, storage, cargo area"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"So I have driven the NV on a few test drives and would have to say the lack of the engine inside the vehicle like the Chevrolet and Ford makes it by far the most comfortable van I've ever driven. Very comfortable seats and a ton of foot and legroom. I set the cruise control on the 2500 Low Roof V6 and the computer stated 18.6 MPG's which was great as fuel eceonomy is a concern for me. I have driven many Chevrolet and Ford Cargo Vans over the years and the NV is by far a superior product. The walls of the van are straight and with the shelves I saw at the dealer looks like a lot less wasted space. It will be nice to finally have a center console, cup holders and storage for my laptop and the under seat storage drawers are a nice touch. As far as there being too much plastic, I guess there is a lot of it but it seems well put together... I was interested more in the V6 when I heard it had more HP than the Ford V8 engine and still got better fuel economy. All in all a great van, especially for someone in their van ALL day"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 1,000

Cons: "Questionable exterior fit and finish, lack of OEM parts and accessories"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"With under 1,000 miles on the odometer the NV is almost everthing promised. Since Nissan doesn't post MPG on commercial vehicles I thought it might be helpful to oters to know that my NV2500 SV with the 4.0 V6 gets between 16- 17 mpg (better than my 5.4 F150 Supercrew) with a mix of local and highway miles. The interior is very nice compared to the E150, although, if you're alergic to plastic you're in trouble. The reason my "Value", "Quality," and "Overall" ratings are 3's and 4's relate to exterior fit and finish. If you are considering buying one of these vans be sure to check the finish on the roof. While watertight, spotwelds are visible on the roof (through the paint), seams in the various sections of roof look a little "forced", and locations where the roof rack brackets attach to the roof (on my van) are down-right sloppy. There are large amounts of what appears to be the sealant "goop" spread throughout the channel containing the roof brackets, and this entire mess is painted over. While functionally the roof does it's job, and because of it's out-of-sight it may not be a big deal to some buyers, but it just seems sloppy for a new vehicle. Hopefully Nissan will address these quality issues. The final issue relates to any new vehicle I suppose, but, be sure that any options that you want on the vehicle are installed at the factory not by the dealer (if possible). In my case, I wanted the rear door glass package and shock-sensors on the van, and was told that they could be added later (they would arrive in "about 2 weeks"). Well, after 3 weeks they are still not available, and it is unclear when they will become available, at what price, and whether they will be as good as the factory installed options (i.e.,whether or not the windows will have defrosters, etc.). All in all I like my NV. Once the options I want are installed it should serve it's purpose for the next 8- 10 years. We'll see..."

I often need to get a direct link URL to an image in one of my public galleries in a circumstance where I do not want the URL to lead back to my web site - so I want the image URL to be anonymous and I've never really understood what the best domain to use for these anonymous URLs is. Over the years, I've found that I can take an image URL like this:
and I can change it to:
and it becomes a somewhat anonymous URL that doesn't show my site or the category, sub-category or gallery of the image.
But, there are many different domains that could be used. Are any of those domains better than the others? These are the candidates I've found that work:
Note that http://www.smugmug.com/photos/344291068_HdnTo-M.jpg
does not work for this purpose because it redirects to my domain and doesn't stay anonymous.
This question is related to this one, but that other question is specifically about URLs returned from API requests, not manually created URLs for anonymous use like this.
Which domain is the preferred domain to use for best performance and best reliability in the long term (e.g. no Smugmug changes that might break the URL)?

Hi Phill,
Thanks a lot for the extra information you posted today. Your test data is especially welcome and I will of course replicate the scenario as soon as my AllView is delivered (some time in next 2 to 3 weeks I expect). From the test data you published, I have to say that I will also be extremely disappointed in the AllView controller software. It appears that not only is it NOT doing spherical geometry calculations to reduce the number of images towards the nadir and zenith (like I expected), but it is also implementing a very simple and sub-optimal matrix-like algorithm that it then gets WRONG! I am amazed about this (in an unpleasantly amazed sort of way).
I expect you've seen the support request that I wrote earlier today to Celestron. I prefer to await a response to that request before I finalize my conclusions. At the moment - based on your test results - I am feeling very, very disappointed in my purchasing decision. It's like buying the latest AF camera lens only to discover the AF does not work properly and you have to switch it to MF to get the images sharp.
And now, I fully understand why you are purchasing your own controller to overcome the AllView controller's software defects. In my case, the product will be returned if Celestron's response to me is unsatisfactory. I take the view which is case law in the USA, that a "controller product" shall implement control functions that are are testable, repeatable, and deterministic. If this is not the case, then the manufacturer is selling goods that are not fit for purpose in USA law. Thankfully I purchased my AllView from a USA supplier. I will give Celestron a chance to respond to my support request before I join you and others in condemning the product and seeking redress. I am also now going to write to the USA vendor (HandsOnOptics) about this in the expectation that they will wish to intervene on my behalf.
Best regards,
This is a copy of my email to HandsOnOptics:
FAO: Sherry Hand,
HandsOnOptics USA
21st October 2012
Hi Sherry,
Unfortunately, the AllView controller firmware contains some significant defects where the positioning of the head for panoramic photos is neither predictable, repeatable or testable. The resulting panoramic shots cannot be imported into customary stitching software packages such as PTGui Pro or AutoPano Giga due to the seemingly random nature in which shots are taken and mis-aligned. I would like a representative from HandsOnOptics to read and respond to the messages posted in this user forum:
http://www.kolor.com/forum/viewtopic.ph … 40&p=3
In particular, please let me know whether HandsOnOptics will be able to supply a corrected AllView controller firmware product, which would be my preference. Also please indicate the timescale in which a fully functional replacement firmware (in which there are no positioning errors) will be made available. Also please supply evidence in the form of a positioning specification for panoramic photographs, that identifies the repeatable and testable azimuth and inclination angles and overlap percentages at which photographs will be shot, given a variety of test cases of parameter inputs to the controller..
Otherwise, please take this email message of notification that faulty goods have been supplied, and please arrange collection of the goods and a refund.
Best regards,

"Please could you provide me with exact details of the calculations performed by the AllView controller firmware version B18 ..."
I hope this works but what I found on the internet is:
Celestron is only a distributor, they get the product from SkyWatcher (Pacific Telescope Corp.) in Canada who does not accept any support contact.
Pacific Telescope Corp is a distributor for Ningbo Sunny Electronic Co. in Shanghai
I suspect Ningbo is a distributor for some other Chinese company
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Thanks Phill !
I have to say that the Instruction Manual is well written (by Celestron) and demonstrates a high level of involvement in the product and its development and support for the USA market. I do not think Celestron would have taken this product on in the very litigious USA marketplace, unless they have an ability to get the firmware fixed. However, their response to you in this matter has been appalling - and I'm hopeful that they will reconsider their position. Sherry Hand (HandsOnOptics) was extremely helpful to me in the arrangements of my purchase and shipping. HandsOnOptics are a major seller of Celestron products in the USA and I'm sure they will do everything they can to keep the pressure up and get the product fixed.
The Instruction Manual confirms "Made in China", probably under license from developers in SkyWatcher. The SyncSan AZ controller was originally designed for use with telescopes, and its capability was extended for use in the pano photography market this year. I suspect the firmware for the controller is developed and supported by SkyWatcher in Canada, but we will see ...
I received initial responses from both Celestron and HandsOnOptics today, saying they are looking into this issue and will get back to me soon.
That's a good sign. I suspect that the priority for fixing the problem will be bumped higher if more users complain about it.
Also it will help if the developers of the major panoramic software packages will assist us - by confirming that the images taken by the SkyWatcher SynScan controller with version B18 firmware are unsuitable for making panoramas, due to the positioning errors. Claude kindly introduced me to Alexandre Jenny, the CEO of Kolor, and owner of this forum. I'm hopeful that Alexandre might be willing to intervene in this matter.
In the meantime my SkyWatcher SynScan controller with B18 firmware is useless, and Claude is supplying me with a Bluetooth adapter which I will fit directly to the AllView head, enabling me to use my laptop and PapyWizard as the controller. Claude tells me that it is not necessary to use the Skywatcher SynScan controller at all. You just unplug the SynScan controller from the AllView head and plug in the Bluetooth adapter instead.
hi friends
i didn't read all the messages here but as i know
sky-watcher use the same encoding language in all mounts to give back support to all pointing software
like ascom platform and the unified celetron driver.
the i saw thits hread i was speculing about use the firmware of the allview on old mount an i found this
so i think that also papywizard can work like before.
the only different that i saw is othe dual encoding used to not louse the traking in manual adjustements

Hello "redteo"
Your conclusions are correct:
- Yes the Allview use "basically" the same communication protocol as the Skywatcher Multifunction head (alias "Merlin") and also basic Celestron mounts (affiliate of Skywatcher)
- Yes "without modification nor upgrading" the Allview can work without problems with Papywizard
- Yes the Synscan controler of a "GoTo" Merlin can be upgraded by the Hand controler firmware of the Allview
See the next post
http://www.kolor.com/forum/viewtopic.ph … 35&p=2
Nevertheless, this "manipulation" isn't supported by Skywatcher
AND "actually" you must be carefull by making this transformation
AND You must be aware that probably this transformation will void your garantie if any ...

I am aware that some people have a pretty negative view of health and safety these days, but i see it as an essential part of our businesses especially with the potential hazards that are involved in our trade,
Have you ever had any negativity towards your health and safety procedures?
Tags: HSE, Hazards, Health, Safety
It has to be said that finding staff that are happy to use proper PPE is difficult, even if it's something as simple as making sure they keep their ear defenders on even for small bits of mowing they may have forgotten. Damage is often a cumulative thing, not to mention that a business has agreed a contract and submitted method statements detailing how the work is to be done, and a single incident of failure to do this can have repercussions.
I have personally had bits of sawdust stuck in my eye for the sole reason that I didn't wear goggles as they were steaming up. What I should have done is found a solution that addressed the risk of that happening.
The manual trades are so so dangerous. There are countless examples (such as that man a few weeks ago in the chainsaw accident) that serve to remind us all that complacency is a serious and real danger.
Very true Dan,
I had a job that required me to run an extension lead down the customers drive from the garage, It was for a reciprocating saw that i use for cutting large roots in the ground. When i put the cable across the pathway that lead to the front door i put a cone out that has a trip hazard sign on it.
The man came out a bit later and said "you don't have to bother with this i'm not blind i can see the cable!"
I told him that although i was aware he wasn't blind it was there to alert him to the fact that the cable was there, not only him but postmen, delivery drivers, gas man, neighbours who could have possibly walked over the cable too.
It quite annoyed me that my consideration for safety was ridiculed, but if he'd tripped over the cable without the warning i dare say he'd have kicked up a stink.
Health and safety is common sense and thinking about each job with a considered plan can stop serious injury or even a fatal accident.
Ive just been going through my 3rd years SAFEcontractor audit, gets worse every year :-(
had an old guy ask me to cut a tree stump down, not a problem, went to the van, got my chainsaw and helmet. As I put on my helmet the chap says "I used to have a chainsaw, I never bothered with any of that crap!"
"Oh right! Good for you!"

The New York Comedy Festival presents, in association with Vandalog.com, Little Italy, and Montana Cans, announced today the addition of "The Art of Comedy," a series of events and art installations involving New York's most talented street artists that will take place this November. "The Art of Comedy" brings together acclaimed artists Ron English, Hanksy, and Gilf! who will showcase their respective humorous works of art in an effort to bring smiles to the faces of millions of New Yorkers.
There will be an "art crawl" debut event on Saturday, November 3 at 12 noon, with the unveiling of artist Hansky's portrait of comedian AZIZ ANSARI on the sidewall of Caffe Roma, at 385 Broome Street. The debuts will continue further up Mulberry Street at the following locations:
• At Mulberry & Grand, on the Mulberry side, a restaurant under construction will transformed into a hilarious sight gag featuring Jim Gaffigan - Hanksy• At that same location, but on the Grand side, will be the canvas for a funny skewering of our political candidates – Gilf!• Past Grand Street, further up on Mulberry, this artist will present 2 of her favorite works – Gilf!• Umberto's Clam House, 132 Mulberry Street, will be home to another funny or "punny" image - Hanksy• Diagonally across from Sambuca's Café on Mulberry between Canal and Hester Streets, the side of a building 40 feet high x 25 feet wide will be painted with a classic character from this iconic artist - Ron English
Like comedy, street art is about having fun, but it's also about engaging with public space. Curated by RJ Rushmore of Vandalog.com and Wayne Rada, "The Art of Comedy" is the NYCF's way to take the laughter out of the clubs and into the streets. This exhibition marks the first time that a comedy festival has teamed up with street artists for such exhibitions and events.
From November 7 through 11, the duration of the NYCF, work by English, Hanksy, and Gilf! will be on display inside of Carolines on Broadway (1626 Broadway), the legendary Times Square comedy venue owned by NYCF creator Caroline Hirsch. There will be an opportunity for press to view the installation on November 8 at 11:00 a.m.
In collaboration with Little Italy, Ron English, Hanksy and Gilf! will paint permanent murals on Mulberry Street between Canal Street and Broome Street between October 26 and November 3. There will be an opening tour of the walls for press and the public at noon on November 3. For his first mural in Manhattan in 25 years, Ron English, a master of both street art and pop surrealism, will be painting a wall over 40-feet tall with one of his classic characters. Using stencils that are sure to make passersby take a second look and have a laugh, Gilf! and Hanksy will be painting permanent and temporary murals. Gilf!'s murals will focus on the upcoming elections, and Hanksy's murals will depict NYCF performers. With these murals so close to one another, there will be a new hub for muralism in New York City.
"We're always looking for new and creative ways in which humor is represented in art," says Hirsch. "These talented artists add a really unique element to this year's festival, literally taking comedy to the streets."
Says Rushmore: "I could not be more excited to be working with such a well-established festival to bring more art onto the walls of New York City. We have some really talented artists, and The Art of Comedy will give New Yorkers thousands of square feet of new public murals, as well as hopefully expose a new audience to just how fun and powerful street art can be."
And as pre-New York Comedy Festival events Ron English, Gilf! and Hanksy all have solo shows in New York City opening November 1st. English's show, Crucial Fiction, opens from 6-9pm at Opera Gallery NYC (115 Spring St) and runs through November 29th. Gilf! will be showing at Galerie Swanström (136 Sullivan Street, 3rd Floor) opening from 5-9pm. Hanksy's show, Young Puns 2 - Now With More Pun, opens at Krause Gallery (149 Orchard Street) from 6-9pm and runs through November 28th.
Paint for The Art of Comedy is provided by Montana Cans.

GUEST OPINION: Dual citizenship creates no conflict of interest
As a person of double Israeli-American citizenship I am often asked if this doesn't cause a conflict at times and my unequivocal answer is no, never. First of all, I remind the inquirer, Israel, my country of birth and upbringing, and the United States, my adoptive country and where I lived now most of my adult life, are strong friends and allies and I can't see a possibility of a conflict between the two in which I would have to choose sides.
What about the decided lack of warmth between my president Barack Obama who, to my complete satisfaction, was recently awarded a second term and had a second inauguration while at the same time, not to my satisfaction, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu seems to have just won another term? However, a surprising showing of Yait Lapid, a newcomer to politics may be able to provide some kind of hope for the future as the name of his party, Yesh Atid, means there is a future. "How do you feel about this and that?" I keep on being asked.
Well, to tell you the truth, I do understand my president Obama and his dislike for my Prime Minister Netanyahu for I, too, do not like the man and strongly oppose his politics, yet paradoxically, I have to admit that I feel unabashed pride seeing him appear in forums such as the United Nations and speak in defense of Israel.
But you see, being the citizen of two countries which are model democracies, in which one can and does voice his opinion freely and noisily- in Israel with its multiple of parties it is even noisier than in the United State with its only two major parties,- I have no problem in doing so.
The inauguration of the 44th President of the United States, whether first term or second, is immensely a more formal and festive event than the election of a prime minister in Israel. No pomp and circumstance there, in Israel, where being so much smaller and of so fewer resources than its much older and bigger and richer (the billions and trillions of debt notwithstanding) sister, to say nothing of its being perhaps its greatest financial supporter, to engage in such extravaganza would be unseemly.
Also very dissimilar is the method of electing the cabinet and the legislature, the Knesset, comprising 120 members, is a topic for another time. Yet both of my countries are democracies to their core and I am equally proud of both.
To be the product of two model democracies is a real privilege.

Type the code from the image
Advent, from the Latin word adventus meaning "coming", is a period of spiritual preparation in which many Christians make themselves ready for the coming, or birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ. During this time, Christians observe a season of prayer, fasting and repentance, followed by anticipation, hope and joy.
Many Christians celebrate Advent not only by thanking God for Christ's first coming to Earth as Savior, but also for his presence among us today through the Holy Spirit, and in preparation and anticipation of his final coming at the end of the Tribulation.
In Western Christianity, Advent begins on the fourth Sunday prior to Christmas Day, or the Sunday which falls closest to November 30, and lasts through Christmas Eve, or December 24. When Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday, it is the last, or fourth Sunday of Advent.
Many Christian churches use Advent candles as part of their church services during the four weeks before Christmas. The Candles symbolize that Jesus is the Light of the World. There are four candles, one for each Sunday leading to Christmas and a fifth candle for Christmas day. The four Sunday candles are usually tapers. There are variations in the coloring of the candles, often there are three purple and one pink candle. The purple represents repentance. The pink symbolizes joy. The central candle is called the Christ candle and is not lit until Christmas day.
The First Candle (The Candle of Prophecy/Hope) The first candle is sometimes called the candle of prophecy because it symbolizes the promises the prophets delivered as messages from God; promises that foretold Christ's birth. Others consider the candle to be a symbol of the hope we have in Christ and so it is called the Hope candle.
The Second Candle (The Candle of the Way) shows that Christ is the Way. Christians are lost in sin and Christ is the Light sent into the world to show them the way out of darkness.
The Third Candle (The Candle of Joy) indicates that the only lasting Joy to be found in life on earth is through Christ. All other joy is fleeting and does not last.
The Fourth Candle (The Candle of Peace) reminds us that Jesus comes to bring Peace to both the world and to people's hearts. Without Christ there is no peace in this world.
The Fifth Candle (The Christ Candle or Christmas Candle) represents Christ himself who was born to save people from their sins. It is a celebration of the fulfillment of prophecy as represented in Christ's birth and hope in the final fulfillment when Christ comes again and Christians join him.
Advent is marked by a spirit of expectation, of anticipation, of preparation, of longing. There is a yearning for deliverance from the evils of the world, first expressed by Israelite slaves in Egypt as they cried out from their bitter oppression. It is the cry of those who have experienced the tyranny of injustice in a world under the curse of sin, and yet who have hope of deliverance by a God who has heard the cries of oppressed slaves and brought deliverance! It is that hope, however faint at times, and that God, however distant He sometimes seems, which brings to the world the anticipation of a King who will rule with truth and justice and righteousness over His people and in His creation. It is that hope that once anticipated, and now anticipates anew, the reign of an Anointed One, a Messiah, who will bring peace and justice and righteousness to the world.
Part of the expectation also anticipates a judgment on sin and a calling of the world to accountability before God. We long for God to come and set the world right! Yet, as the prophet Amos warned, the expectation of a coming judgment at the "Day of the Lord" may not be the day of light that we might want, because the penetrating light of God's judgment on sin will shine just as brightly on God's people.

Nick Fury, director of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., and his lieutenant Agent Maria Hill arrive at a remote research facility during an evacuation, where physicist Dr. Erik Selvig is leading a research team experimenting on the Tesseract.
Agent Phil Coulson explains that the object has begun radiating an unusual form of energy. The Tesseract suddenly activates and opens a portal, allowing Loki to reach Earth. Loki takes the Tesseract and uses his scepter to enslave Selvig and several agents, including Clint Barton, to aid him in his getaway.

For Who, For Weaver?
Bob Ford, Inquirer Sports Columnist
Some random thoughts while sitting around Boston waiting for a 10 p.m. basketball game (and some of those random thoughts involve the scheduling geniuses of the NCAA and CBS).
I don't know if Leonard's Weaver has great timing hitting the hole while carrying a football, but he does has great timing while backhanding the new city where he'll be working.
Weaver, signed to play fullback for the Eagles last weekend, didn't appear very excited about the prospect -- downright disappointed, in fact -- but his views got lscant attention during a busy time in which local interest was on the NCAA tournament and, of course, Andy Reid's "State of the Eggs" breakfast news conference from the NFL meetings in down-at-the-heels Dana Point, Calif.
The Eagles signed Weaver to a one-year, $1.75 million contract that could earn the fullback as much as $2.5 million if he meets incentive clauses. Good luck with that, Leonard, unless there is a clause for standing ready on the sideline.
All in all, of course, he'd rather still be a Seahawk.
"It's just been a hard deal knowing I want to be here, and I made that clear to the organization a number of times, and here it is we still can't get nothing done," Weaver told the Tacoma News-Tribune.
"And now it resorts to this," he added, "where I have to make a secondary choice, which I did. So, it makes it very tough."
Oh, no question. Having to accept a paltry $1.75 million is just a terrible insult, a fallback position that no one -- even someone who makes up verbs that don't agree with impersonal pronouns -- should not have to bear. Oh, the humanity. TO HAVE TO PLAY IN PHILADELPHIA FOR A TEAM THAT MADE THE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP AND LEAVE THE STINKING SEAHAWKS. It is too much to take.
Leonard is going to be a man about it, though. He's going to show up and play and look for his deluxe payday in the sky. In Philly? Maybe, not that he really cares.
"It's a good opportunity to show what I can do, not only to Philly but to other teams out there," Weaver said. "And then if Philly offers a long-term deal, that would be great. But, if not, hey man, it was a great time and we move on."
I'd say he's all about Philadelphia and the Eagles. Not a bit of him that's all about Leonard Weaver. Welcome to town, Leonard. So far, your timing has been good.

- Bob--You're an idiot. You sound like the Eagles explaining why they fired that Leonne guy. Insecure and whiny. It irritates me! The guy was happy in his home...so what? He didnt say he didnt want to play here...he said it was his second choice. Was the Daily News ur first choice? Give the guy a chance when he has the pads on b4 you judge him.
