Iron Maiden singer looks to create 1,000 jobs with new firm
Tue, 2 May 2012
Print this page
Bruce Dickinson (left), pilot, entrepreneur and lead singer of heavy metal group Iron Maiden, has founded Cardiff Aviation, an aircraft maintenance business, which he hopes will create at least 1,000 jobs within 18 months.
The firm will be based in a hanger leased from the Welsh government in St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Dickinson says: "We're coming into this enterprise with the knowledge that we'll also be bringing business to South Wales – a cautious projection is that we'd expect to create up to a thousand jobs within 18 months based on the level of interest and commitment from aircraft manufacturers and operators.
"South Wales has long had an association with the aircraft industry and I am delighted that I am able to have a small part in the continuation of that tradition."
Welsh business minister Edwina Hart adds: "I am particularly pleased to hear the company is keen to take on skilled mechanics previously employed by the [MoD-owned] Defence Support Group, create hundreds of highly skilled engineering jobs and also plans to establish an on-going apprenticeship programme as the business grows."

Great news Bruce it makes me feel proud and I'm not sure why as I'm not related to you or Welsh, do live near Worksop where you were created though and am just a massive Maiden fan. Pity there aren't more like you to boost this country's pride in ourselves again. Love you Bruce if ever you want to start a business in Worksop I'll be your PA for free!!!

Doctors are hoping that a persistent infection in the arm has cleared through medication, but it won't be determined until the surgury.
ESPN.com reported that Gronkowski consulted with orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews and that the procedure will be performed by upper-limb specialist Dr. Jesse Jupiter of Massachusetts General Hospital.
If the infection is gone, the recovery is expected to take eight to 10 weeks, which would be near the start of training camp.
Gronkowski has experienced setbacks with the arm since the original injury occurred Nov. 18 in a game against the Indianapolis Colts. He rebroke it during a playoff game against the Houston Texans on Jan. 13 and has been limited in offseason workouts.

Is there a PPA for this somewhere?
Phoronix: Here's Compiz 0.9.2; Should Be Ready For General Use
Sam Spilsbury has just announced the release of Compiz 0.9.2 as the successor to Compiz 0.9.0, which was released in July of this year. We knew that Compiz 0.9.2 was on the way and that it would offer many improvements from new animations to plug-ins that would make you feel as though you are drunk or tripping by simulating hallucinogenic effects. Yes, really, but at least there's also useful changes like plug-ins for loading GLSL shaders for windows and GLSL shaders to be applied to an entire screen through an OpenGL Frame Buffer-Object...
Is there a PPA for this somewhere?
Does the performance still suck when doing Flash fullscreen video?
Generally it's Flash but compiz can make the difference between flash's performance being just tolerable and intolerable on some systems.
Any word on whether 0.9.2 fixes CCSM? I tweak just about every plugin I use and I really CBFed either fiddling with config files, or gconf-editor.

Blood Status
this wiki
- "You place too much importance, and you always have done, on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognise that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!"
- —Albus Dumbledore to Cornelius Fudge[src]
[show]Levels of blood purity
- "Mudblood's a really foul name for someone who is Muggle-born – you know, non-magic parents. There are some wizards – like Malfoy's family – who think they're better than everyone else because they're what people call pure-blood… I mean, the rest of us know it doesn't make any difference at all."
- —Ron Weasley explaining blood prejudice to Hermione Granger and Harry Potter.[src]
Those born to Muggle families but who are skilled with magic are referred to as Muggle-borns. The child of two Muggles is considered a Muggle-born. In wizarding Britain, they are allowed to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, although some other schools, such as Durmstrang Institute, only admit students with wizarding heritage. Salazar Slytherin fell out of favour with the other Founders of Hogwarts because he wanted to limit attendance on the same grounds.
Those with prejudice against Muggles and their families often refer to such wizards as "Mudbloods," a highly offensive term implying that the individual has dirty and inferior blood. Those who discriminate against Muggle-borns believe that they do not deserve magic and should be excluded from the wizarding world, in spite of the fact that Muggle-borns are just as magically talented as those of other blood statuses.[1]
When the Ministry of Magic fell under the indirect control of Lord Voldemort during the Second Wizarding War, it began distributing propaganda against "Mudbloods" under the authorship of Dolores Umbridge. Muggle-borns were also forced to register with the Ministry's Muggle-Born Registration Commission, which accused Muggle-borns of having stolen their wands and sentenced them to Azkaban.[2] This ended once Voldemort was defeated and the Ministry was reformed.
- "Most wizards these days are half-blood anyway. If we hadn't married Muggles we'd've died out."
- —Ron Weasley[src]
Wizards with families split between Muggles and wizards are referred to as half-bloods. Due to the dominance of the magic gene, children born to at least one magical parent will usually be magical themselves, meaning that a non-magical child born to a Muggle and a wizard is considered a Squib, not a Muggle[3]; the term 'half-blood' is misleading in that it does not necessarily imply a half-and-half split in wizarding/Muggle ancestry, but rather any witch or wizard with both wizarding and Muggle heritage. By the 1990s, most of the magical population were half-bloods.
The ancestry of a half-blood can be:
- One pure- or half-blood parent, one Muggle parent — e.g. Lord Voldemort, Severus Snape, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan
- One pure- or half-blood parent, one Muggle-born parent — e.g. Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, Albus Dumbledore
- Two magical parents, known Muggle ancestry — e.g. Ted Lupin, James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter, Lily Luna Potter
The children of Harry and Ginny Potter are considered half-bloods because of Harry's parentage - pure-blood father, Muggle-born mother.
The term can be an insult, depending on the context in which it is used. Walburga Black, for instance, was a fervent believer in pure-blood supremacy, and her portrait at 12 Grimmauld Place often screamed "filthy half-bloods" and other insults at passers-by somewhat indiscriminately, which points to the mania surrounding blood purity. Bellatrix Lestrange was also known to have insulted Harry Potter[4] and Severus Snape on the basis of their half-blood heritage[5].
Some half-bloods also express prejudice against those with Muggle ancestry, despite having it themselves, often clinging to what wizarding heritage they do have. Lord Voldemort, the son of a pure-blood witch and a Muggle, epitomises this. He hated Muggles and Muggle-borns and held his status as the Heir of Slytherin in great esteem.[5]
- Hagrid: "See, the thing is, Harry, there're some wizards, like the Malfoy family, who think they're better'n everyone else because they're what people call 'pure blood'."
- Harry Potter: "That's horrible!"
- Hagrid: "And it's codswallop, to boot. 'Dirty blood.' Why, there isn't a wizard alive today that's not half blood or less."
- — Rubeus Hagrid and Harry Potter discussing blood purity.[src]
Pure-bloods are wizards and witches with a family tree devoid of Muggle members; or, at least, they have convinced themselves of this by removing any non-pure-bloods from their family trees[6]. At the very least, one must have all magical grandparents to be considered pure-blood, though extremists would require no known Muggle ancestors. Thus, some would consider the children of Harry and Ginny Potter to be pure-bloods because all four of their grandparents — James and Lily Potter, and Arthur and Molly Weasley — were wizards or witches. Others, however, would consider them half-bloods because their paternal grandmother was Muggle-born, thus they have known Muggle ancestry.
Many pure-bloods consider themselves to be akin to royalty in the wizarding world, or at the very least the elite. They often disdain those of different blood status and Muggles, some even arguing that Muggle-borns should not be admitted into the wizarding world. The Death Eater organisation took this philosophy to an extreme, striving to eliminate Muggle-borns altogether.
- "The pure-blood families are all interrelated. If you're only going to let your sons and daughters marry pure-bloods your choice is very limited; there are hardly any of us left."
- —Sirius Black[src]
To be pure-blood is an uncommon trait, and their numbers continue to decline over time. There appears to be a continuous stream of new families entering the wizarding world as children from non-wizarding backgrounds with magical ability, and as a result those with long pure-blood lines are relatively rare. To maintain their "pureblood pedigree", families such as the House of Black and the House of Gaunt have practised inbreeding, accounting for the mental instability of certain family members.[6] Those same families tend to disown members who accept Muggles or Muggle-born wizards into their lives. These family members would be deemed "blood traitors". For instance, the Blacks commonly blasted these relatives off the family tree tapestry.[4]
Mental Disorders
Inbreeding can cause mental disorders, which can possibly be the reason for both Bellatrix Lestrange and Tom Riddle's sadistic personalities. They are known for their psychopathic tendencies and inability to feel compassion towards others whom they regard as inferior (i.e. Muggle-born wizards and the Muggle population in general.) A large number of Death Eaters partake in torture of other fellow wizards and witches, to the point of persecution and outright extermination, simply based upon their blood-status and possibly due to the centuries of inter-mingling that have damaged their brains and bodies as was the case with the Gaunts.
Deterioration of their minds was overlooked because they had kept the proper pedigree praised by Salazar Slytherin and all those who followed his standards of what made a good or worthy Wizard/Witch.
Known inbred wizards
- Orion Black and Walburga Black (Sirius and Regulus's parents) are second cousins.
- The Black family tree spans seven centuries, so there is probably more inbreeding in that family than is known.
- According to Dumbledore, the House of Gaunt has many inbred relatives, causing their instability.
- Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley might in fact be third cousins, which would cause their children to be inbred. This has been unconfirmed, as they might just be third cousins by marriage (Charlus Potter might be Harry Potter's great-uncle and not his grandfather).
- Victoire Weasley and Teddy Lupin are fourth cousins once removed. They were romantically involved in 2017, but it is unknown if they eventually had children. If they did, it would technically be inbreeding, though very distantly (and thus, unlikely to cause any problems). As well as not being illegal.
- Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley are second cousins by marriage once removed, which is not technically inbreeding, but shows how the spouses are somewhat interrelated. Going back more generations might show some actual biological links.
- "Squibs were usually shipped off to Muggle schools and encouraged to integrate into the Muggle community… much kinder than trying to find them a place in the wizarding world, where they must always be second class…"
- —Muriel to Harry Potter in 1997[src]
Squibs are individuals from wizarding families that have not shown skill in magic. One example is Argus Filch, who is so embarrassed by this that he hides it from students and studies magic fruitlessly in his spare time.[3] Another example is Arabella Figg, who does not seem to particularly care that she has no skill in magic. Squibs appear to keep in contact with wizarding society, whereas Muggles have little to no contact.
Squibs are generally looked upon with disdain by most wizards and witches. Even families like the Weasleys, who do not look down on Muggles or Muggle-borns, are rather embarrassed to have a Squib who works as an accountant in their family. Neville Longbottom's family was also upset at the prospect that he might be a Squib, and repeatedly tried to scare accidental magic out of him when he was a child.
Squibs are able to use magical devices, such as magic detectors, or other items who magical capabilities are inherent, but not devices such as wands, which require magical abilities in the user.
Muggle-borns are descended from Squibs.
It is possible that a child or later descendent of Hector Dagworth-Granger, a famous potioneer, was a Squib, because Horace Slughorn stated to Hermione Granger that the two could have been related. This could be possible if magic in a family dies out.
- "Filthy half-breeds! Beasts! Uncontrolled animals!"
- —Dolores Umbridge to a group of centaurs[src]
Half-breeds are humans with at least one non-human parent, although witches and wizards with non-human ancestry further back would also be considered half-breeds. They are very rare, and have traits of both species, such as the ability to use magic and spell resistance in half-giants. Prejudice against half-breeds appears to be relatively common in the wizarding world, which is intolerant toward non-human peoples in general.[7]
"Half-breed" may be an insulting, rather than proper, term. It is known to be highly offensive to centaurs, though this may only be because it is in fact incorrect; centaurs are their own non-human breed, rather than a mix of species.[4]
Known half-breed types
- Part-giant — e.g. Rubeus Hagrid and Olympe Maxime are half-giants.
- Part-Veela — e.g. Apolline Delacour is half-Veela; her daughters Fleur and Gabrielle are one-quarter Veela.
- Part-goblin — e.g. Filius Flitwick has a goblin ancestor.
It is stated all "pure-blood" families are interrelated. This would mean (even if pure-blood families exist) all families are interrelated. All half-bloods have at least 1 pure-blood ancestor from a pure blood family (thus pure-bloods and half-bloods are related). Muggle-borns are children of Muggles and have the magic gene because of a squib, half-blood or pure-blood ancestor. Squibs are born into half-blood/pure-blood families but do not possess the power to use magic (though they are carriers of the gene). Half-breeds are half-bloods/pure-bloods with a non-human ancestor. Muggles can become related and produce half-blood children when mixed with half-bloods/pure-bloods. A muggle may marry a squib and their descendants know nothing until the gene resurfaces randomly.
Behind the scenes
- There are many parallels to the notion of blood purity that exist in the Muggle world, largely in the form of racism. Examples of this being manifested include the Ku Klux Klan, discrimination against immigrants, and the persecution and mass murder of Jews, Roma, Slavs, so-called "Mischlings" and others by the Nazis known as the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler, promoting a society with a "pure Aryan race," is rumoured to have had a Jewish ancestor.
- A more direct parallel, however, is the formation of blood purity laws and the infamous Spanish Inquisition in Medieval Spain to regulate the activities of Spanish conversos (converts to Christianity from Judaism and Islam). These conversos, although officially equal to their Christian brethren, were nonetheless scrutinized and even persecuted; if a converso showed any hint of heresy or apostasy, they would be subjected to auto-da-fé.
- J. K. Rowling consciously drew such parallels: "The expressions 'pure-blood', 'half-blood' and 'Muggle-born' have been coined by people to whom these distinctions matter, and express their originators' prejudice. As far as somebody like Lucius Malfoy is concerned, for instance, a Muggle-born is as 'bad' as a Muggle. Therefore Harry would be considered only 'half' wizard, because of his mother's parents. If you think this is far-fetched, look at some of the real charts the Nazis used to show what constituted 'Aryan' or 'Jewish' blood...the Nazis used precisely the same warped logic as the Death Eaters. A single Jewish grandparent 'polluted' the blood, according to their propaganda."[6]
- As in the Harry Potter universe, these parallels in Muggle society have caused great strife, suffering, and cruelty in society.
- An interesting fact of note is that despite the ideals that pure-bloods are inherently more powerful wizards, some of the most powerful or particularly adept wizards and witches in the series are in fact either half-blood (such as Lord Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape and Harry Potter) or Muggle-born (such as Hermione Granger and Lily Evans).
- There is probably no such thing as true blood purity any longer. This is because several pure-blood families have either died out, or mated with Muggles.

The GBP20,000 TTX01 - 86 BHP, Electric 2WD Motorcycle
TTX GP founder Azhar Hussain and the bike he commissioned, the prototype TTX01.
UPDATED It's the first electric superbike and though its range is considerably less than the first modern four-stroke superbike, the 1969 Honda CB750, its top speed of 125 mph (200 km/h) is almost identical. Yesterday the first prototype of the TTX01 Electric Superbike was showcased at a press conference for the 2008 NEC Bike Show. Built to demonstrate the potential of electric sports motorcycles for the first emissions-free Grand Prix, the initial prototype is based on a Suzuki GSX750 frame and running gear and runs two 43 bhp Agni Lynch Electric motors arranged in line with the frame. Together, the motors produce 125 Newton Metres of torque and both have been modified to withstand high RPM using Kevlar-reinforced armatures. The vision is to create a lightweight, carbon fiber framed 2WD TTX02 with "hot swappable", 20 kilowatt hour battery packs, regenerative braking and a production run of 50 machines in 2010 with a target price of GBP20,000.

NBA Legends 2nd Edition: DONE (DROPPING DOWN)
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
I'll post the results of this vote in the first post
migya make the ring fall on ya |
Nah, because that even further limits the potential to get a steal in the draft. Keep it how it is. |
yeah, just like the real world, folks should draft whoever they want. I mean if Karl Malone and Kevin Garnett are available back to back I'd pick 'em...
To Live is A Value Judgment - Albert Camus
3 reasons for living: Jazz, Hoops and women President Barack Hussein Obama - America chose Hope over Fear |
I take Bill Russell and all of his 11 rings.
At 6'9/6'10 do I get to qualify him as a PF/C since in reality he can play either effecitvely? |
Updated. Pest, you're on the clock now.
EDIT: I'm taking Hakeem Olajuwon. Everybody knows how much I like drafting players who can play multiple positions and good defense.
Eman is on the clock for back to back picks. Last edited by tHe_pEsTiLeNcE on Wed Jan 02, 2008 3:09 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Nice one. I was hoping he'd fall to the second round, like last year (if I remember correctly), but I guess I was expecting too much.
EMAN is on the clock for consecutive picks. |
I too was hoping Hakeem would come back around. I regretted not taking him last year in the back to back picks at the end of the first.

damn aright...ummm well in that case ill take moses malone "the victorious warrior wins first, and then goes to war; the defeated warrior goes to war first, and hopes to win."- The Art of War
To put together the second half of a shock and awe front line, my second pick is Shaquille O'Neal
Elgin Baylor.
Another tweener but he has so many skills it is stupid. He's what LeBron could be. |
If Lebron played in Baylor's era he'd probably average about 40-12-12 |
I doubt his assists would be that high, just because he would never need to pass, much like Baylor. Baylor did rock a 38-18-4 though, which I suppose is comprable. I say in about a decade those two players are going to be matched as evenly as any other two players in NBA history.

I would love to own an updated Teela figure, but given the choice, I would much prefer to have another character...
I had to to think about it though.
We all know that NONE of the old & new figures are going to get a second run ! It may give us a bitter feeling. But sadly, This Is The Truth ! There are so many old collectors have missed Teela in the past & most of them are "Teela-Less" till this very day. And, I don't even have to mention about the new collectors !
So, it's quite obvious that there is a huge.... HUGE demand for MOTUC Teela figure ! Yes, some Teela's are available on markets like eBay, but the prices are simply INSANE ! Not everybody could afford that big "Scalpor" prices for Teela to fill their collection !! While it's easy to grab BG Teela, this variant is dramatically different from the iconic version & not many are familiar with this BG version either !
But since we ALL need a MOTUC Teela, there is probably one solution.... ONLY ONE SOLUTION AVAILABLE...... It's Teela 2.0 !!!
But Wait.... That's Not An Easy Task Either ! Every time we talk about 2.0 figures OR variant figures, one question is ALWAYS raised in front of us. And that question is "Would you like to see variant of X figure or a new character like Two Bad (Remember Folks, this is just an example. So don't get mad if you are a Two Bad fan, OK) ?"
Now I know that 2014 & 2015 are going to be based on "Vintage" & "Core New Characters" of all incarnations. But, should a "Core Character" figure like Teela, especially when she has hit the "Gone For Good" status, especially she has an incredible demand from the fans should be kept under guessing on "unsure" 2016 line ? Personally, that's a big.... BIG Time Of Waiting !
So, this might be the right time to answer that question ! Well, atleast for the sake of Teela 2.0 !!
Will You Prefer A Teela 2.0 Figure Over A New Character Figure ? No Matter How Big That New Character Is.... Even If He OR She Happens To Be Your Favourite Character, Are You Ready For The Sacrifice ??
The Fate Of Teela 2.0 Is In Your Hands !!!!
NOTE : Please Do Not Treat This Just As A Fan Poll ! A small, handful of votes are not going to us any good. Only a MASSIVE amount of favourable votes (in big hundreds, maybe even in thousands) will make Scott even to think about this !! So, share this poll to your friends & known ones and ask to be part of it ! I hope we can do this like we always did in the past !!!
I would love to own an updated Teela figure, but given the choice, I would much prefer to have another character...
I had to to think about it though.
No, I already have Teela and love her. I would prefer a new character.
MOST WANTED MOTUC figures: Ice Armor He-Man, Sagitar, Fang-Or, Major Header, Granita, Great Black Wizard, Despara, Quakke, Master Sebrian, Tuvar, Bahdrah, Stridor, & Snake Mountain.
MOST WANTED PCS statues: Mer-Man, Whiplash, Buzz-Off, Sy-Klone, Ram Man, Tri-Klops, & Two-Bad.
*My iTrader Feedback
*My MOTU_Maniac Feedback Thread
I would take a Teela 2.0 over any character at this point in the line, new, old vintage, or whatever.
No, Im happy with the teela(s) we have BRING ON NEW AND DIFFERENT CHARACTERS!!!
A Teela 2.0 wopuld have to be radically different for me to be interested. She would have to be as different from the first release of Teela as Bubble Power She-ra was from the first release of She-Ra.
I wouldn't mind getting a Teela 2.0, but not at the sacrifice of a new character.
We still have the $25 slot for 2013 which is a variant of He-Man. So, assuming in 2014 we still have the same number of SKUs and a $25 variant slot is open for that year... well, we wouldn't have to sacrifice anybody and a Teela 2.0 could go into that slot. Or she could easily be a traveling con exclusive, or even be offered outside the sub.
That said, at this point, so many folks still need a Teela, and she will never be reissued again... so I can see many people preferring a Teela 2.0 to a Rotar, Master Sebrian, Josh, or a Kulatuk figure.
There already is a Teela 2.0. Her 2nd run is Battleground Teela. She was even just available for the extended Black Friday sale.
I'd rather have a new figure than a 3rd Teela (or 4th, considering the Green Goddess)
A Teela 2.0 would be a corrected version of the 1st release, not a straight variant. Fixed bobblehead, softer plastic tunic, waist articulation, etc. Since she's never been reissued, she's hard to come by so it would also put a regular Teela figure in people's hands.
I have no interest in a Teela 2.0.
If we get another Teela, I'd rather have a MYP Teela.
I looked for the "god no are you kidding me" poll option. Couldn't find it. So just chose the "no..." option.
Good Trader List:
-Maul, tattoojunkie74, Chuck Bowlz
I understand the plight of those without, but if we get another Teela, I'd rather get one of these variants:
-Snake Teela (a repaint as with the Toyfare exclusive would be great)
-Bride of Skeletor Teela
-Infant Teela (in a nest!)
-Sorceress Teela (with her nifty falcon cloak)
Of course, I'd buy any Teela they make; I really want her first "up-do" head in blonde and her BG head in red.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
hmmmm, no but I had to think about it for a moment though. sure would like a 2.0 maybe a varient teela in the future. filmation, myp (young), or queen teela (older).
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
If she's a 100% Filmation version.
No I would not want to sacrifice a new character for a Teela 2.0, I would like a 200x Teela head included with another figure though.
MOTUC NA Most Wanted: Darius, Kayo, Vizar, Hoove, Lizorr
Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
It's not easy to answer this question: would I sacrifice an all new character to see any updated old character?
Basically the answer has to be "Yes!".
I didn't miss any MotUC-character on the release-day, but if I had I'd be screaming for that character too.
Teela is one of the most important characters in the MotU-world and if we are looking at all the characters that have seen a re-release, it's a shame, that Teela did not.
I hope all the fans who ordered 2 or more Teelas back in 2009 to make an Evil-Lyn-custom or an She-Ra or something else regret this now.
I cannot count how many awful customs I've seen based on the MotUC-Teela.
So for all the fans who are missing Teela in their collection, I hope, that one day we'll see a re-release or a Teela 2.0.
But I'm worrying how a Teela 2.0 could look like to make her as interesting as She-Ra 2.0 was.
Perhaps an 200X-head or something like that? I loved the long hair back in the 200x days.
I'd love to see a Snake-Teela, because I loved the 200X-version of this transformed character.
Maybe Mattel finds a way to give us the Sorceress-cape for the Battleground Teela. This might be a good idea to give us Teela 2.0? The cape could be dressed to both Teela versions: Teela 1.0 and BG-Teela.

IF they released a Classics Teela 2.0, she would have the updated two-piece outfit and it would be much softer enabling her to ride Battlecat, Stridor, or any future horse we may receive.
A Filmation accurate Evil-Lyn with the improved 2.0 outfit wouldn't be out of the question either. I'm not much for Filmation variants, especially considering how long Filmation Randor has stuck around but I'm all for Filmation fans getting their difinitive Evil-Lyn and not some half-baked variant like the not quite 200X Battleground Evil-Lyn.
MYP Sorceress is a MUST HAVE figure for MOTUC!
No, I have 2 (or 3 depending on how you view extra heads) versions of Teela and I'd like to get more unreleased characters before another Teela.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
As much as I am an Evil-Lyn-fan, I'm not sure if I want any more varaints of her. Her 200X-look was great and the filmation look was cool too, but I don't think I'd like to buy some more variants of her, that have only a few other details on her.
About filmation-variants: Wasn't said that there will be no Filmation-variants on characters we've already seen in the MotUC-line? And then here comes Eternos Palace Randor. He's awesome, but I'm curious to see, how many filmation-variants we'll get to see in the future.
I'm not against filmation-designs, no. But do we have to get a whole new filmation-variant of some characters? I think, a second head in filmation-style would be a great addition to some figures and that should be enough (for example I'd love to see a filmation-Hordak-head with Buzz-Saw-Hordak).
As of now, only 5 MOTUC Teelas available on eBay...
1st one listed @ $120.00 (Buy Now WITH Make Offer) !
2nd one listed @ $80.00 ! (Buy Now) !
3rd one currently bidding @ $51.00 (auction) !
4th one currently bidding @ $50.00 (auction) !
5th one currently bidding @ $46.00 (auction) !
I am sure the auctions will end around $60-65 range ! And that says the story !!
Definitely take priority over a new character before releasing another Teela. I'm cool with a 200X long ponytail Teela head for the re-release. Had to trade an arm and a leg to get my Teela though.
I would prefer literally any character getting a figure made over getting a Teela 2.0 (actually 3.0, since we already got the BBT version).
DESPERATELY need ThunderCats Minimates series one!!!
**Staunch FILMation lover!!! **** MUST have a New Adventures Subscription!!!**
MOTUC NEEDS more TROLLANS !!!
If she takes a Variant slot then yes, because technically, there are no "new" characters as variants. It's not like we're going to get a Battle Armor Strong Arm or something, we have to get a Strong Arm first before we get a variant (not that I am calling for that, just an example). SMAA was not a new character, he was a variant of an existing character, I'd have taken a properly done Teela variant (if she was done like BP She-Ra) over SMAA, and I actually really like SMAA (just with the Duncan stached head).
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....

The Gatto Table lamp offers beautiful diffused lighting. White powder coated internal steel structure sprayed with a unique "cocoon" resin to create the diffuser which is then protected by a transparent sprayed on finish. Available in two sizes.
FLOS Lighting
FLOS was founded in 1962 are the Italian Lighting Specialists. The very same year FLOS began producing a number of lamps that were to become classics in Italian industrial design. These first lamps were Arco, Relemme, Toio and Taccia — all designed by Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni. As a tangible proof of FLOS Lighting's timeless design and technical excellence, these lamps continue to be produced today.
It all started with cocoon...
In 1959 Arturo Eisenkeil from Merano, an importer of
cocoon — a spray-on plastic coating produced in the United States - was tracking down possible applications for this new
material. He joined forces with Dino Gavina and Cesare Cassina and set up a company to produce lighting fixtures. This marked the
beginning of the long-standing association in the area of design with the Castiglioni brothers and Tobia Scarpa. The first cocoon
lamps ever created were the offspring of this collaboration: Viscontea, Taraxacum and Gatto by the Castiglioni brothers and
Fantasma by Scarpa.
FLOS moved from Merano to the province of Brescia in 1964: At first to Nave and then to the current premises in Bovezzo. Sergio Gandini became chairman of FLOS in 1965. In 1974, the company became the owner of Arteluce — one of the key Italian companies in the industrial design sector. Gino Sarfatti, an industrialist and designer, is the founder of Arteluce. Several models designed by Sarfatti himself have been incorporated into the product range.
From the very outset, FLOS has been characterized by its high-quality approach to lamp design and production. Many of the numerous lamps designed for the company, first by Achille and Piergiacomo, are undoubtedly some of FLOS Lighting's best-known and most successful products of industrial design. They have won awards and historical critical accolades, and are included in all the most important collections and design museums around the world.
Born in Milan (1918-2002), he started work as an architect and designer with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo in 1938. One of the great masters of Italian design, he was a founding member of ADI in the fifties. The long list of awards he has received include eight Compassi d'Oro. His activity as a designer is an unmistakable blend of simplicity, irony and fun and its shows his close interest in the way objects are used, in the potential offered by technology and in the use of new materials.

He started working with his brothers Achille and Livio immediately after the war focussing their attention mainly on city planning, architecture and particularly on design. Together with Achille, he received various acknowledgements such as the permanent exhibition of six of their works at the Museum of Modern Art of New York and won five editions of the Compasso d'Oro award.

Groundbreaking news, the OS for phones is meant to go on tablets too.
I was expecting a hardware release announcement. Anything else is just smoke.
Also, every time Mark was talking about "clean, pretty, beautiful" I just wanted to facepalm so hard. Seriously, nobody cares. We care if apps are easy to develop, are functional, bugs and crashes are low, and it functions as a seamless desktop and mobile OS.
