Hey ya. I was the first one to bid on each of those items. Since I'm on social security and don't have that much money coming in, so I didn't put a higher bid in. And, at first the Skeletor was listed with no weapons. I e-mailed the seller and asked about it and he said I reminded him that the Skeletor came with a sword. The starting bid on each was $9.99 apiece. First he only had He-Man and Beast Man listed, then the next day Stratos and Skeletor was listed, because I checked out his store and seen more listed. So I kinda found them first, I guess or at least bidded on them first. The seller's in Japan. Congratulations on winning!
Hopefully I'll get to buy a He-Man and Beastman, hopefully 2, before they run out. Anybody use the paypal plug in for this? Any help with that would be nice, since that's my primary method of payment. I've already installed the thing, just for the MOTU figs. Can you preorder the other figures, like putting in an order for Skeletor already, or do I have to wait until they announce it, like they did yesterday? I have to wait until I deposit my check tomorrow.

LONDON – As England learned more than 1,000 years ago, battling the Vikings on English soil is not a winning proposition.
Minnesota made many big offensive plays and sacked Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger five times Sunday en route to a 34-27 victory over the Steelers at Wembley Stadium.
Pittsburgh drops to 0-4 for the first time since 1986.
"We are in unchartered territory and the water is dangerous right now, so we have to stick together and get out of this," Roethlisberger said. "Right now, you could say we are the worst team in the league. That hurts."
The Vikings (1-3) avoided an 0-4 start of their own. Adrian Peterson rushed for two touchdowns, including a 60- yarder, and Matt Cassel, starting in place of injured Christian Ponder, threw a 70-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings, as Minnesota gained 395 yards, including 140 from Peterson on the ground.
"It would have been a long flight back to take after a loss," Jennings said. "It was a special day. To do this at Wembley Stadium is a once-in-aliftime experience."
Pittsburgh's offense was unable to keep up with the Vikings, though Roethlisberger tried to direct a late rally. Roethlisberger passed for 383 yards and had the Steelers at the Minnesota 6-yard line with less than a minute remaining, but a third-down sack by Everson Griffen forced a fumble and the Vikings recovered to end the comeback.
"We came up short, but we played better than we have in recent weeks," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said. "We gave up explosive plays. You can't do that. … We're going to focus on getting better, and that's what's going to change the outcome of football games."
Minnesota took a 3-0 lead on its opening possession, getting a 54-yard field goal from Blair Walsh. It was the longest field goal ever made against the Steelers.
Following a Pittsburgh punt, the Vikings made it 10-0 when Jennings took a short pass from Cassel, shook a tackle attempt by Cortez Allen, deked a diving William Gay and outraced the rest of the Steelers' defense to the end zone for a 70-yard catch-and-run.
"You throw a five-yard hitch, and he goes 70 yards. It makes your job a lot easier," Cassel said. "Those guys made plays all night."
The Steelers trimmed the lead to 10-7 when Bell took a handoff, gave a wiggle to the inside and burst outside to the front corner of the end zone, diving and doing a flip to cover the final three yards for an 8-yard touchdown run. The play was set up by a 36-yard bomb from Roethlisberger to Emmanuel Sanders.
Peterson, who had gained 17 yards on his first six carries, hurt the Steelers badly on his seventh carry. He took a handoff through a hole off right tackle and ran basically untouched for a 60-yard touchdown with 12:42 remaining in the second quarter, putting Minnesota ahead, 17-7.
Roethlisberger directed a 15-play drive that started deep in Pittsburgh territory, moving the Steelers to the Minnesota 3. But he was sacked by Jared Allen on third down – Allen's second sack of the series and third of the first half – to force a 26-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham that trimmed the Minnesota lead to 17-10 with 3:43 remaining in the first half.
Minnesota pushed the lead back to 10 points at 20-10 on a 37-yard Walsh field goal just before halftime. The Steelers nearly ended the possession at midfield – and recorded their first takeaway of the season – when linebacker LaMarr Woodley sacked Cassel, stripping the football loose. But the ball squirted forward, through the hands of linebacker Jarvis Jones before wide receiver Jerome Simpson fell on it for a first down.
The Steelers pulled to within 20-17 on the opening possession of the second half, moving the ball to the Minnesota 1 on a 50-yard pass interference penalty after Antonio Brown was tackled on a deep pass attempt in the end. That set up Bell for a second rushing touchdown.
But the Vikings quickly regained their 10-point advantage, with Cassel completing a long pass over the middle to Jennings to set up a second TD run by Peterson, this one from seven yards.
Roethlisberger then threw an interception to linebacker Chad Greenway while attempting a pass to Sanders, who stopped running on the play. Two plays later, Cassel threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Jennings to push Minnesota's advantage to 34-17 late in the third quarter.
Roethlisberger brought the Steelers back to within 10 at 34-24 with a 15-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery.
Walsh missed a field goal from 44 yards midway through the fourth quarter and Suisham made one from 28 yards to make it 34-27 with 3:40 remaining.
The Steelers got the ball back at their own 22 with 1:43 left and no timeouts. Roethlisberger completed six passes as the Steelers reached the Vikings' 6, but Cotchery was overthrown in the end zone and Roethlisberger fumbled on the next play.
"I'm thinking just try to do anything you can to get rid of the ball, throw it away, do something, and I couldn't manage to get it out," Roethlisberger said. "I'm holding it out like a loaf of bread because I'm trying not to just take it to the ground. They got it out late. Even if I'd held on to it, I don't know if we would have had enough time."
Odds and end zones
Running back Isaac Redman, listed as the Steelers' starter, was on the inactive list. … Guard Ramon Foster left in the second quarter with a chest injury. He returned briefly but did not play after halftime. He was replaced by Kelvin Beachum. … The attendance was 83,518. … Jennings has seven career touchdown catches of at least 70 yards. Jerry Rice holds the NFL record with nine.

text: I'll admit that the "Oo-Larr is supposed to be Mo-Larr" conspiracy theory is one of the more plausible ones, but I really don't care. Whatever. I love the figures, and I like the attempt to weave a consistent narrative that is taking place in the bios and new mini-comics. I couldn't care less how the name "Oo-Larr" ended up getting chosen.

State police investigating Cecil police department's special account
State police are investigating discrepancies in a special equitable sharing account set up within the Cecil Township police department, a municipal official acknowledged May 10.
Township Manager Don Gennuso said state police investigators contacted Cecil's solicitor, John Smith, on May 6 and plan to "follow up" later with Gennuso about the probe.
"I know there is still an ongoing investigation," Gennuso said. "We are participating however we have to."
The revelation comes after Cecil Township rejected a right-to-know request for it to make public an audit and report on the account on grounds that the documents contain information regarding an ongoing criminal investigation.
Township officials notified the Observer-Reporter on May 9 they would not release the independent audit into the police department's equitable sharing account, nor would they make public the report on former chief John Pushak that led to his abrupt resignation. Cecil Township supervisors accepted Pushak's resignation as police chief April 1 after he was placed on administrative leave in February. Pushak served in the department for 38 years.
The township denied the right-to-know request, in part, because it "seeks records relating to a criminal investigation" that contains confidential information which "would deprive a person of the right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication." It also cited confidential records involved in a noncriminal investigation and client-attorney privileges.
State police Lt. Paul Radatovich, head of Troop B's criminal investigations unit, did not know which division within the department was leading the probe.
The audit of the police department's equitable sharing account, established in 2009, was conducted by the accounting firm of Cypher and Cypher. Money in the account was supposed to be used for sting operations and to purchase equipment. However, the audit uncovered some discrepancies under $10,000 involving unauthorized deposits and withdrawals for extra duty expenses.
Cecil's new police chief, Shawn Bukovinsky, said at the township's May 6 meeting that the department was cooperating with the Washington County district attorney's office in cataloguing the inventory in the department's evidence room. He said two of his officers are taking the lead in the check.
District Attorney Gene Vittone did not return a call seeking comment on the inventory check or investigation into the department's special account.

Mayview owners request to mine coal on the property
Aloe Brothers, the owners of the former Mayview Hospital site in South Fayette Township, recently submitted an application to the township's zoning hearing board requesting the ability to mine on the property. Ryan Eggleston, township manager, said the application from Aloe Brothers to mine coal at the former hospital site was discussed at the board of commissioners' Feb. 20 meeting.
Eggleston said the zoning hearing board will meet at 7 p.m. Feb. 27 to discuss the application. The board, which usually meets in the municipal building, may move its meeting to the senior center, depending on how large a crowd attends, Eggleston said.
Also at the Feb. 20 meeting, the board voted to authorize advertisement of the township's 2013 millage level. Eggleston said the board should vote on the millage rate at its March voting meeting. The advertised rate is 3.48 mills, which is the adjusted rate after the county reassessment. Last year's rate was 3.84.
In other business:
• The township is moving forward with wrapping up the paperwork for the closing of the new Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC building on the property of the former Star City Theater. Eggleston said the closing should be finished within a month to six weeks. The purchase price for the property is $1.66 million, plus an extra $100,000 for the township if plans move forward to convert the former theater into a civic center.
The building is to be constructed on about 2.64 acres adjacent to the former Star City Theater. A total of 11.6 acres, including the land owned by the township, is being subdivided in order to accommodate a new driveway and extra traffic lanes. The building, which will house pediatric outpatient services, will be four stories with a total of 60,000 square feet.
• Commissioners are considering expanding the size of three township boards. If passed, the planning commission will increase from five to seven members, the parks and recreation board will increase from five to seven and the zoning hearing board, which currently has three members and two alternates, will increase to five members and two alternates.
• The March voting meeting time and date has been changed to 8 p.m. March 27. The workshop meeting will be held at its regular time and date at 7:30 p.m. March 13.

Her tiara and staff from the toy glow in the dark!!
they are actually more Green-glowing than white.
There were a couple of books/records/tapes that talked about the Jewell of light, and how it needed exposure to the sun or moonlight to "charge," which were clever ways of incorporating the practical need to charge the glowing pieces that came with the toy.
A Want List: Starburst She-Ra, Ghost, Mini Comic Tri-Klops, Mini-Comic/Vintage Toy costume Catra, Kayo, Joya, Storm, Twiggets, Melaktha, Sagitar, Spirit, Kothos, Master Sebrian, The Enchantress, Weapons Paks, Fuerza T figures, 200X Sorceress, King Miro, Dree-Elle & Uncle Montork.
Filmation Variants: She-Ra, Bow, Mantenna, Leech, Entrapta, Grizzlor, Prince Adam, Glimmer, Adora
I just charged the staff and tiara and tried to take a pic in the closet (the only dark place), but the camera doesn't pic the glow up at all... I know that phosphorous doesn't appear on film if you're in the dark (if you take pics of the "glowing" things in rides at Disney World, they don't appear glowing, it's the black light that does it). I wonder if phosphorous was used in the mix to make her pieces glow? But then, you wouldn't need to charge them, and you'd need a black light, so I'm not sure.

Glimmer is probably the only character I prefer her filmation look, well her and Angella.
I do love her staff tho. I think it will look amazing in classics style/scale
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Crita is coming... Now I NEED SONGSTER! The Awesometastic Bard!
I like the transluscent plastic idea!
I cannot wait for Glimmer! I am easily as excited for her, Frosta, and Bow (and really, almost any POP characters) as I am for figures like Man-E-Faces, Mekaneck, and Ram Man! I am quite anxious for her Bio as well. She was actually pretty powerful!
MOTUC Most Wanted: Skeleteen, Prince Keldor, Captain Randor, The Great Black Wizard, Lady Slither, Spirit, Tuvar, Baddra, Cursed Marzo, Tug-O-War, Scrollos, Songster, Mini-Comics Spirit of Castle Grayskull, and for the love of the Sorceress and Julie Winston, ODIPHUS!!!

I'm pretty sure Glimmer, Kowl and Bow are dead certs. Probably with at least 2 over the next couple of years
Honestly my favorite look for Glimmer is the first picture in the first post as well as Emiliano's works from the DVD sets. I really enjoyed the art in those. As well as the show. I'm not familiar enough with the style guide to know how close to filmation we can get.. But I'd perfer a Glimmer as close to filmation as possible.
I'd say Glimmer is the POP character I want the most.. on the hero's side anyway..

Wavy hair and wind blown hair are two totally different things. Even 'though her hair was rooted, the original Glimmer had wavy hair (that was how she was packed) so there is no reason this one can't have it too.
I'd like Glimmer to be a cross between the figure and filmation version. I can't believe how different she looked in the cartoon versus the toy. I thought that the cartoons were supposed to promote the toys. How can they do that when they look nothing alike.
Personally, I'd prefer a version of Glimmer that would be influenced by the Filmation version. But PLEASE no hole in the forehead !
About translucent plastic: it is a VERY BAD IDEA. We saw what translucent plastic meant with the Goddess : britle plastic, bad quality and breakable figures ! So sorry, but NO translucent plastic for Glimmer ! Plus, Glimmer has normal skin, be it in the toon or in the 80's POP line.
(By the way, Toyguru and Mattel STILL didn't send anyone to China to fix the quality control issues, so I guess we'll continue to get inferior quality figures...).
I'd like to see a Catra figure released before Glimmer.
Yeah I'd prefer non-translucent plastic for Glimmer please. I've avoided getting Goddess because of all the problems she's been reported as having and would hate to avoid Glimmer as well for having the same potential problems in the future.
Maybe we should start this thread over at Matty, so we know TG and co are seeing it!
and Im firmly on the side of Vintage figure features, the armor and Tiara especially, I really dont want a purple Adora, and lets face it, if they can get away with minimal new tooling ..........THEY WILL!

Glimmer is one of those characters where I think 2 heads are required.
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
I do want to see Glimmer soon as well as some of the other princess characters, but in either her Filmation or toy look she was not one of the more dramatic costume designs so I think they need to throw a little pudding on the fruit to amp her up. Mabey they could package a little loo-kee figure with her, or alt. heads one filmation hair and one toy Shirley Temple curls style. Anyway she does need to be done cause my rebellion is not complete without her. Oh and as a kid it freaked me out her momma had wings and she didn't, wierd.
I'm in the Filmation camp all of the way on Glimmer. The toy always looked too bulky to me with the big hair and shoulder pads. She was one of the few from the first two POP waves that I did not have back in the day.
I truly dont want a collection of multi colored Adoras, and thats what we will get if they do the style guide versions. The vintage toys are far more exotic and interesting
In retrospect, Filmation, did tend to oversimplify the POP characters. Glimmer was one of the biggest victims of this oversimplification. With the exceptions of Catra and Castapella, I always preferred the action figures to the cartoon versions. Here's hoping that Glimmer looks more like the figure than the Filmation version.
"You don't wanna beat me or screw me!? What kind of marriage is this? Bring a book." -- Jerri Blank to her pretend husband Ronnie Leggett, from "Strangers With Candy"
For Glimmer, I want to see a combination of the two looks, with two different heads. I'd like to see a light metallic blue used on her legs - it would compromise between the two looks. I'd like them to start bring out more details from the vintage figures. It makes no sense for the Teela outfit to be so detailed from the cardback illustration, and to so so simple with the POP characters.

Chevy, GMC Leveling Kits
A leveling kit is designed to raise the front of your Chevy or GMC pickup, SUV or SUT. There are various options for the amount of front lift, depending on your specific requirements. Since nearly all vehicles come from the factory with a slight rake, a leveling kit is what you'll need to not only raise the front but also allow the installation of larger tires. If you've added a heavier bumper or a winch to the front, this is another reason to install a leveling kit. You'll find a wide assortment of leveling kits here provided by manufacturers that are known to be leaders in the industry.

I would rate at 5. Done what they said they would in the time given. Car feels like new. They go over and beyond repairs. Picking your car up and returning to you. Would definitely use again and would recommend to all including my own family! A clutch and fly wheel cost me £800. Was quoted £998 for clutch and if I had fly wheel changed £1423 by the local dealership. I have a mini. Need I say more! Happy customer for sure
Paul was absolutely fantastic, I am not exaggerating, he was brilliant. I cannot recommend him, Automotive Components highly enough. There were no hidden extras with the price quoted, and his advice was welcome and refreshing! Ive told all my family, friends and colleagues about him and his service, I hope that he doesn't get too busy though as he is now my dedicated mechanic!
Patric is a great man he knows what he is doing plus he good at his word
Quote was very reasonable compared with the dealership I have been using. Patrick collected car, did job and called me when he was leaving to return it. All done , no hassle. Nice guy, will be giving him another job to do in the next 2 weeks, Well pleased up to now, would recommend
Patrick had been servicing my Audi R8 for three years now, and in this time he has provided me with consistent first-class customer care. My car (a 2008 V8) has had a number of common faults, including front shock absorber failure, a coolant leak and oil leaks. Using his contacts and expertise, Patrick has fixed all of these faults with OEM parts, at big discounts over what a main dealer would charge. The most recent repair involved replacing the sump tray, which had distorted due to heating/cooling and was leaking oil. This is a specialist job which an Audi dealer with have charged at least two to three times what I paid to repair. Patrick is always true to his word - a real gem in the unreliable world of motoring!
Good honest service with good communication to the client.
Excellent service, good value
Brilliant job, really really good. They were really professional and I couldn't find a better price anywhere. Really great
Got my cambelt and water pump replaced,service was really good.very responsive,good price,job was done in few hours and my car drives well.would recommend this place and will come back in the future.so 5stars from me.
Really helpful, accomadating and a great price. Thank you.
Lee replaced my clutch on my Peugeot 1007 to a very high standard and he was very informative and efficient and I would highly recommend him.
I found it to be a bit pricey, considering that my description of requirement , acquired me quotes from others which was for a gear box refurbishment and if Clutch required changing whilst they would need to remove the gear set, they could do that. However in this case the requirement seems to have been misunderstood; hence quotation was for clutch change only and lubricating gear box; indicatkng that my requirement would have been addresses by the rellacement of the clutch only. It turned out on the first diagnosis that the gear box would need refurbished, which caused be another £350 over the quoted price, plus the vehicle had to be kept in a public cara park overnight.. but the way the wotk was done was Good.
Excellent service all round and a good price. They identified other problems with my car which they fixed. Very friendly and would highly recommend.
I didn't use the service in the end as the car has been scrapped but great response time and estimate
Lee and the boys really came through on my clutch replacement, it probably took them about twice as long as they thought it would have due to seized bolts etc, but they persevered, got it done and stuck to the original price. Definitely will use them again.
Excellent service .. They quoted me for all 4 disks and pads which was cheaper than the other garages, plus a new caliper, front suspension bush,mot which I think were both reasonably priced, We're happy with the service and will be recommending to our Friends.
Good job done, genuine parts used and very good with customer services. Sahil has been exceptionally very patient. I would recommend this garage to everybody and I will definitely go back to them again. The clutch was changed including the fly wheel and they also adjusted my hand brakes.....Sahil has been prompt on picking up the phone and has been a good listen and advisor. Courtesy car was provided. EXCELLENT SERVICE.
Had my car for a Full service MOT and change of rear disc brake and pads. Easy transaction as they communicate well through the phone and messaging here on the site. Car picked up at home and was on time. Called again mid day that job was done. Car arrived to me in the afternoon, paid through online banking. I am not sure if all checks and topups have been done this is because I have placed water on my windscreen washer reservoir prior to pickup and noticed that no topup on it was done. Its the same water that i have put on it. I have informed 4wheels about it and they said they will check CCTV about it but never got back to me. I know that they changed the oil for sure as I checked the oil dip stick, and the added job request of disc brake and pads as they are visible. Not sure about the others. Seen my battery terminals untouched as well. Saw good reviews for this garage but couldnt give 5star for my experience.
Can't recommend a garage more than All 4 Wheels, they worked around my schedule and were extremely convenient, courteous, helpful and went out of their way to get my car booked in. They picked up my car and returned it on the same day even though I also got them to Service and MOT at the same time of the clutch replacement which they got everything done at a great price. Thanks for the great job!!
Would happily recommend, Great communication and customer service
I normally do most maintenance on my car myself but changing the timing belt is beyond my DIY skills so I am grateful to Galaxy Auto Centre for providing a professional job, performed on time and on budget. I was happy with the selection of parts (OEM quality) and the service represented good value for money. Many thanks.
excellent service
Very nice service.Very helpful .I will definitely visit them again!
Very nice experience. This was the only garage that actually supplied me with clear quotes, answers to my requests and all continued communications...and carried out the work on time as agreed. All thanks to Ivy, she is a true Wonder Woman! Her team were very polite too and returned the car clean. Pricing was excellent too, to the point I thought they were going to add more VAT - not the case; thus I had a little more work, that was bugging me, completed on the same booked visit. I can keep going on about how nice the whole experience was but it's my garage now, go elsewhere! Only downside (nowhere is perfect), is the slight tight entrance (not that bad really), but they will kindly drive if you wish and I'm not sure the customer care will be up to Ivy's standards when she's on holiday.
Great service, lovely people and resonable price.
Quick to arrange a date to get my car fixed. They called me with a few additional things which might be worth doing. Car was ready same day.
My vehicle had been parked up for over 3 months and desperately some love & attention to get it road worthy. Ross arrived punctually & explained he was going to undertake all the jobs as per my instructions together with a full inspection and road test. New battery was fitted and report provided on all the faults together with recommendations for items which may need further attention at a later date. All in all a great job was done and very professional service from start to finish. Would certainly recommend to anyone requiring a home service/ assistance.
Competent and efficient workshop, all reasonably priced and pleasant to deal with. 100% Recommended
I would definitely recommend Eagle Autos. I dealt with Roberto who clearly explained the issue my car was diagnosed with. I felt they are an honest and friendly bunch of mechanics. I also appreciated the communication line between myself and the garage, informing me on the progress of the job.
Very good service, clear communication, did the job very quickly and low cost. Would highly recommend.
The cost of servicing, MOT and repairs differ across the country and Brake Repairs is not any different. Labour rates will be higher or lower depending on where in the country you are.

There are common words in the English language that are often confused. Many people don't know when to use as/like. They both compare similar items, features, traits. "She has fair skin like her sister," or "She has the same brown hair as her brother." It's very tricky, and I'm not always sure myself. Luckily, William Shakespeare knew the difference, or his play would have been called "Like You As It," which makes no sense at all.
The words "know" and "no" are often confused; mostly because they are homophones, words that are spelled differently but sound alike.
When I am reading Facebook status updates, I see people writing, "I didn't no that," all the time. I realize Facebook status updates aren't always grammatically correct. Heck, they seldom are, and I am convinced most people know the difference, but they're writing from their phone or they're in a hurry. Still, it makes me cringe. I make status update mistakes all the time, but that one sets me on edge. Besides, like most people, I'm a hippogriff. I'm allowed to make the mistakes and they are not, and like most people they are part horse and part griffin. I know that sounds like a lot of Bullfinch, but I'm about to make a point.
Growing up, I had trouble with words like dairy and diary. I am glad I never kept a dairy under my pillow because I think the cows would be uncomfortable. For the same reason, I never worked on a diary farm because you have to get up at 5 a.m. and milk the words into your journal.
I have hiked a trial, but the judge wasn't happy with it. I have been put on trail, because I fell off.
I have gotten lost in the dessert, between the words Happy and Birthday, next to the cherries.
I absolutely never know when I affect or effect someone. I just learned that all together and altogether are separate words, just like always and all ways.
I was being chased and I had to allude a thief by referring to his indiscretions. He made an illusion to a certain conversation we had, but it involved pigeons flying out of his hat.
I was reading this allowed because it's a free country. I was very bemused by it; mostly because it's funny and confusing.
Bemused/amused, allude/elude, dessert/desert, heirs/airs and trail and trial are often confused for one another.
The worst part of these often confused words is that spell check won't catch most of them. Of course, it didn't like when I tried to make a noun into a verb. In some cases, you will get the green squiggly line on your Microsoft Word document, and not the much harsher red squiggly line. As you may or may not know, the green squiggly is for grammar and the red squiggly is for spelling. I don't know if it's the same on an iPad.
Spell check always tries to turn my name Buzzelli into buzzard, and that's just annoying.
Just be careful before you advise/advice, accede/exceed, or adapt/adept/adopt!

As far as prisoner-rights advocate Mara Taub is concerned, New Mexico hasn't really repealed the death penalty.
"Firing squad, electric chair, gas chamber, lethal injection and life without the possibility of parole are all different kinds of the death penalty," Taub, head of the Santa Fe-based Coalition for Prisoners' Rights, says.
Taub's comments follow Gov. Bill Richardson's March 18 signing of HB 285, "Abolish the Death Penalty," into law.
Taub argues the legislation only outlawed execution. Death by lethal injection was replaced with life without possibility of parole, which Taub believes is the equivalent of "death by imprisonment."
Her view reflects the schism HB 285 created early on among anti-death penalty activists. Both Taub's coalition and the national Campaign to End the Death Penalty opposed any legislation that creates a sentence of life without possibility of parole—or LWOPP; prior to HB 285, New Mexico didn't have such a sentence on its books.
Christy Armell, Campaign to End the Death Penalty's Albuquerque coordinator, struggled with the legislation, but ultimately asked Richardson, in person, to sign the bill.
"I didn't support replacing the death penalty with life without parole, but I also knew that without that part in it, the possibility of the bill passing would've been very slim," Armell says.
HB 285's sponsor, Rep. Gail Chasey, D-Bernalillo, and New Mexico Coalition to Repeal the Death Penalty Executive Director Viki Elkey both defend the sentence trade-off.
"I guess what I think about life without the possibility of parole is that if someone is sentenced to that and we have a mistake, we can correct it," Chasey says. "I think that's an important consideration. I also think that society has the right to expect to be protected from some of these dangerous criminals and, if life without the possibility of parole is the way to do that, then I support it."
Elkey says if people believe LWOPP is inhumane, she expects prison reform advocates will "be working on it." But, "we wanted to repeal the death penalty and give our legislators something to replace it with."
Kenneth Hartman, an inmate who runs The Other Death Penalty Project out of a California state prison where he is serving a life sentence, issued a statement both praising and chastising Chasey and Elkey's efforts.
"While we applaud the movement towards abolishing the death penalty in New Mexico, we believe it is disingenuous and wrong to call life without possibility of parole anything but the death penalty in another form," Hartman writes to SFR.
Prison Legal News Editor Paul Wright, who himself served a 17-year conventional life sentence for first degree murder in Washington state, explains LWOPP is still death at the hands of the state.
"It's part of the continual evolution of the search for the 'humane death penalty,'" Wright says. "Hanging was seen as more humane than impaling people on a stake. Then there was the gas chamber, the electric chair and now they're doing lethal injection. If you look at that trajectory, life without the possibility of parole is part of the same continuum."
Wright adds that the US is one of the few Western industrial nations that does not impose sentencing limits. National movements have formed to oppose LWOPP sentences for juveniles and those charged with non-violent crimes under three-strikes laws, but advocates for individuals accused of capital offenses, such as Taub, are rare.
"Life without possibility of parole has fewer mandated appeals, much less visibility and many fewer people working on it," Taub says. "Juries will give it more easily than they would give an execution sentence, so we are going to have more people in prison for the rest of their lives in terrible conditions."
Taub says defendants had a better shot at freedom with the death penalty. Second Judicial District Attorney Kari Brandenburg told SFR the same thing: Only 4 percent of capital cases end in execution, which means many murderers are eligible for parole within a few decades.
The dream of freedom, Wright says, is what makes prison bearable.
"If you asked me to choose between the death penalty and life without parole, I would choose life because as long as there's life, there's hope," Wright says. "Most of the guys I know doing life without parole don't accept that they're going to die in prison, even though that's pretty much what's going to happen to them."
As far as prisoner-rights advocate Mara Taub is concerned, New Mexico hasn't really repealed the death penalty.

What's A Good Workout For a Busy Schedule?
I'm always either at school or work. What type of workout is best for my busy schedule?
- Jules*
Teens should get an hour or more of exercise every day. The good news is, you don't have to do it all at once.
Try getting up 15 minutes early to fit in some morning yoga or Pilates for strength and flexibility. At lunchtime, jog or fast-walk for 20 minutes to raise your heart rate and boost energy levels. Do the same between school and work. Or use your workout as a way to get to a destination, like biking or walking to school or work.

Hazlett secures silver in WPIAL tennis singles
Might makes a difference in tennis. Just ask Peter Hazlett.
The Mt. Lebanon junior finished runner-up to a stronger opponent during the WPIAL singles championships. Hazlett dropped a two-set decision, 6-2, 6-1, to top-seeded Adam Blasinsky from Central Catholic in the Class AAA final played at the Lakevue Racquet Club in Valencia.
"Physically, he's a lot stronger than I am," said Hazlett. "Adam played better than I did. He was more competitive on my shots and my service game. He made good shots."
In improving his own game, Hazlett made his best shot when he joined Extreme Fitness last fall. The gym membership transformed Hazlett from a skinny sophomore into a stronger competitor on the courts.
"I've matured," he said with a chuckle, recalling his physique last spring. "I've been working out more and practicing harder and that has helped improve my game."
Hazlett noted that recipe has also benefited his opponent, whom he had beaten regularly when the two were youngsters.
"Adam and I go way back. When we were kids, playing in 10s, I'd beat him a lot but he's worked more on his game and he has put a lot into the sport to become a better player."
While both players maintain national rankings, Blasinsky rates higher and Hazlett expects him to go far in the PIAA tournament set for May 24-25. Both Blasinsky and Hazlett have qualified for the event to be held at the Hershey Racquet Club.
"He will definitely go far but the draw has a lot of very good players to predict that we will meet again," Hazlett said.
Hazlett met Blasinsky in the WPIAL finals by dispatching some strong local talent. He blanked Kyle Hicken from Chartiers Valley, 10-0, in the first round. After he slipped past Fox Chapel's Sid Rajupet, 10-8, Hazlett outlasted Fernando Escribens of Upper St. Clair, 6-2, 6-3, in the semifinals.
After a first-round bye, Blasinsky also scored a shutout in his first competition and then beat Caleb Kramer, 6-0, 6-3, in the semifinals. Kramer had beaten Mitch Kreider of Peters Township, 10-7, and Christian Meyer from USC, 10-6, in his previous matches.
Hazlett, who was a section singles and a section doubles winner last year, now hopes to lead Lebo to the WPIAL team title. The team tournament runs from May 6-10.
The Blue Devils finished runners-up to Shady Side Academy last spring. The Indians recently handed Lebo its first loss of the season, 3-2.

A number of factors have Florida concerned heading into its first Southeastern Conference matchup with Texas A&M tonight at Reed Arena.
A number of factors have Florida concerned heading into its first Southeastern Conference matchup with Texas A&M tonight at Reed Arena.
This is UF's fourth trip across time zones since mid-December, which has included road trips to Arizona, Kansas City and Louisiana. The miles have added up for the road-weary Gators. And Texas A&M is coming into the game with confidence following an 83-71 upset of Kentucky last Saturday at Rupp Arena.
That win, and Texas A&M senior guard Elston Turner's 40-point performance, grabbed the attention of UF's players.
"You wouldn't think anyone could do that at Rupp Arena, but it just shows that you've got to go out there and compete every single night, that no game is given to you," Florida junior center Patric Young said. "We've got to go out there and stick to our scouting and try and win the best we can."
No. 10 Florida (12-2, 2-0 SEC) has won four straight with four different starting lineups. The banged-up Gators will be without junior forward Casey Prather for at least the rest of the week with an ankle sprain. Senior guard Mike Rosario (sprained ankle) and junior forward Will Yeguete (knee) are probable. Senior forward Erik Murphy is still playing with a pad underneath his jersey to protect a broken rib.
It will be important for the Gators to get off to a strong start in a hostile environment. A sellout of more than 12,000 is expected because the Aggies (12-3, 2-0 SEC) are honoring their football team at halftime for their Cotton Bowl win. And yes, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is expected to attend.
"Going on the road there on Thursday will be, without question, a great challenge," Florida coach Billy Donovan said.
Florida will be playing away from the O'Connell Center for the seventh time in its last nine games. But the Gators have silenced opposing crowds with consistent, hard-nosed defense. Florida is holding teams to 36.5 percent shooting from the floor despite its myriad of minor injuries.
Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy called Florida "one of the best defensive teams in the country." The Gators rank third in the nation in scoring defense, holding opponents to 52 points per game.
"They play with great energy and they have good experience and then when you have a guy like Patric Young that anchors the defense, they can pressure the ball and force you into him," Kennedy said. "He can block shots or he can be an intimidating force around the basket. They pick up full court, they guard you a variety of different ways with ball screens, they are experienced, and Billy has got them playing at a high level."
Florida beat Texas A&M 84-64 last season at the Orange Bowl Classic in Sunrise. The Gators jumped to an early 21-4 lead and Texas A&M never recovered. But Donovan pointed out that former Texas A&M big man Khris Middleton was just coming back from a knee injury at the time.
"There will be some things from that game that we can look at in terms of philosophy," Donovan said. "But their personnel has changed some, just as our personnel's changed some."
Turner, who scored a team-high 20 points for Texas A&M in last year's loss to the Gators, said the key will be to prevent Florida from getting off to another fast start.
"That begins with our defense," Turner said. "We have to be able to get back in transition and mark up on their players because they can break the game open shooting the basketball."
Kennedy said he doesn't expect Texas A&M to come into the game overconfident after the Kentucky win. While Texas A&M has posted some big wins, the Aggies also suffered an embarrassing home loss to Southern during its non-conference schedule.
"We sure haven't arrived by any means," Kennedy said. "We've got a lot of work to get accomplished and we can get better in a lot of areas."

Notes: Florida is 2-1 all-time against Texas A&M.

Florida lost its lone game at Reed Arena, 57-54. … Florida ranks third in the nation in scoring defense, holding opponents to 52 points per game. The Gators have held seven opponents under 50 points and 10 opponents under 60 points. … Offensively, the Gators are second in the SEC in field goal percentage (48.3 percent), 3-point field goal percentage (37.4) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3-1). … Texas A&M is third in the SEC in scoring defense (59.4 ppg) and leads the SEC in 3-point shooting percentage (38.9 percent).

Revision as of 04:23, 8 April 2012
Experimental port of Stellarium to Android using not-yet-complete Android port of Qt, necessitas.
This is an experimental branch built on an incomplete library and is not yet ready for public consumption.
An official public release won't happen until some time after necessitas reaches Beta, and this port is sufficiently mature, whichever comes later; testing releases will probably start well before then.
You can build it at any time, though (see: Building for Android). If you want to help out in any way with development, it would be appreciated.
Specification / design
See: Android port/Specification for a detailed breakdown of the current design. Technical implementation details are broken-up into tasks below.
- IRC channel: #Stellarium on freenode. Webchat client: [1]
- Development mailing list: [2]
- Feedback forum
- Please don't submit bugs related to the port to Launchpad yet. Add them to the Wiki under New Issues, and/or pop on IRC. Anything that seems incomplete probably is.
Remaining tasks
Rough timeline
(This is a rough timeline / list of remaining feature tasks; some completed items may be in here, most not. Bugs and general issues are below, and slot into the timeline somewhere)
- Complete first releasable QML-based GUI
Design GUI
- Get GUI basically operational
Hook QML up, and a non-functional UI minus configuration dialogs
Get a the main GUI view actions doing something (playback, accelerometer (not hooked up, but maybe print something))
- Add button tooltips
- Add View / Markings / Plugin dynamic button drawers
See specification. These drawers will contain buttons added by code; buttons won't be hardcoded in the QML. This will allow for easier interaction with plugins.
- I think I'm going to ignore that and, at least for the first release, do it all manually, including adding plugins (maybe I'll give plugin-added buttons their own dialog buried somewhere). I'll probably end up changing my mind tomorrow, though.
- Fix the static plugins
- Some don't support ES 2. Based on IRC discussions, these plugins should be, whenever possible, doing their drawing through StelPainter and not accessing OpenGL directly
- plugins know too much about the GUI; they access the concrete StelGui directly to create buttons, rather than the abstract StelGuiBase
- Add pretty, Android-styled button icons
- Decide on DPI buckets
- Add a custom image provider for icons. This image provider will choose the correct icon based on the DPI bucket we're in. This process will be transparent to QML; all it needs to do is use use this image provider (e.g.
Image{ source: "scaled://image.png" }), and it'll get the image from the correct bucket
- Add search
- ...
- Add settings screen
- Create item types, a view, and a basic model
- Hook items up to backend
- Refine items, view and model
- Have multiple list views working, along with categories
- Complete the models (with most necessary settings)
- Add locations screen
- A specialized settings screen with a little image of the Earth and such
- Design
- Implement
- Hook up to GPS/location/(orientation?) plugin
- Plugin doesn't exist yet. QtMobility's location support looks like it supports desktop OSs, so this plugin would be useful for more than just mobile
- Cook up additional layouts (small phone, 5" tablet, 7" tablet, 10" tablet)
- Design
- Implement
- Add Android art (icon, replace necessitas' splashscreen, etc.)
- Consider beginning preliminary ("pre-alpha") testing
- Localization support
- Autodetect locales via JNI
- Ensure that everything in QML is translatable, and in the gettext files
- Accelerometer support
- Fix large bugs and feature requests from pre-Alpha
- Alpha testing
- Optimize
- Implement ETC1 texture compression
- ETC1 may have issues with large chroma shifts, which could render it useless for us. If so, may have to use device-specific texture compression formats. => more work. We may want to move that way eventually anyways
- Profile OpenGL
- Profile with gprof or callgrind
- Optimization ideas:
- Consider ways of reducing per-frame accuracy for performance/battery use boost (value caching, lerping and dead reckoning instead of recalculating constantly)
- Implement ETC1 texture compression
- Fix most Alpha bugs, any particularly large ones
- Implement big/easy Alpha feedback
- "Beta" test
- Dependent on Necessitas hitting Beta; until it does, spin around 'alpha' versions
- Implement beta feedback items
- Fix as many bugs as is feasible
- Add remaining Android art: all Google Play-required items (banners, large icon, etc.)
- (Eventually) - First public Google Play / other sources release, followed by bug fixing and more bug fixing
Other tasks
- add-ons (additional catalogues and such) downloadable via Google Play to reduce bandwidth load from Android users?
- [3] control the back key
- find the correct location for the user's External Storage via JNI
- location and orientation support
- scientes suggested on IRC that we might create a multiplatform Location plugin, using QtMobility's Location API. This API appears to support desktop as well as mobile clients.
The following art is needed. Each section of art is accompanied with a link to the specification page describing what that piece of art is used for.
Note that 1dp = 1px at 160dpi. Google recommends using a 3:4:6:8 scaling ratio for assets for screens of different densities; this means we'll end up having 4 sets of most every piece of art; to convert from dp to pixels for each of the groups:
- 0.75x
- 1.0x
- 1.5x
- 2.0x
The Android GUI design guidelines are at [6] as well as [7]
Android artwork can be found in the AOSP repositories. The Android design site also has vector art, but it's under a somewhat vague license (unrestricted use to develop your apps). The same art is available rasterized in AOSP's repository (under the Apache license 2.0) though.
'Action bar' icons
The current thought is to imitate Android's Action Bar to provide a layout that's consistent with other Android apps. Standard size for an Action Bar icon in Android 4.0, according to the Android Design guidelines, is 32dp x 32dp.
The Action Bar itself is 48dp high.
The Action Bar logo (see Android_port/Specification; the icon on the far-left of the bar) should be larger than the other icons. It can be the same size as the launcher icon. In fact, it can be the same image as the launcher icon, or it can be a variant with larger margins, whatever works best.
There's more details in the guidelines, but Google says they should be flat (not shaded, outlined, or shadowed), pictographic, and #ffffff at 80% opacity. If we diverge from that, we should keep things consistent.
If we're doing activated/deactivated icons like Stellarium does, the deactivated ones should probably still be fairly bright (near or at #ffffff / 80%). Mobile devices vary in screen quality, and are frequently used with low brightness settings and in adverse lighting conditions.
Icons. 32dp unless otherwise noted, and all four sizes are needed (see above):
- Android_port/Specification#Main_view
- Action Bar Logo (48dp)
- related: left arrow ( see Android_port/Specification#Playback ) for the Action Bar logo when it becomes a back button (is not displayed otherwise). Up to 8dp wide, or integrated with the logo.
- Open search
- Open controls
- Toggle accelerometer (on / off)
- . . . / maximize sidebar (standard Android-style)
- Action Bar Logo (48dp)
- Android_port/Specification#Object_selected
- (these should probably be shadowed or outlined as they don't have a background behind them)
- Deselect object
- Center on object
- (Center and zoom to object?)
- Toggle info (two states: brief / long)
- Android_port/Specification#Playback
- Rewind (on / off)
- 1x speed (on / off)
- Current time (on / off)
- Fast forward (on / off)
- Android_port/Specification#Pull-down bar
- Close/minimize sidebar
- Night vision mode
- Date/Time
- Location
- Settings
- Information box
- Objects dialog
- for enabling/disabling stars, planets, etc.
- Markings dialog
- likewise for markings; grids, constellations, etc.
- View/misc dialog
- everything else. Oculars, equitorial/altaz toggle, etc.
Plugins dialog
Android / Google Play art
This time, all sizes in pixels and only one size needed unless otherwise noted
- Launcher icons (48dp; need all four sizes, so 36px, 48px, 72px, 96px)
- High Resolution Application Icon (512x512, 32-bit PNG with alpha; Max size of 1024KB)
- Promotional graphic (optional) (180w x 120h, 24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha), Full bleed, no border in art)
- Feature graphic (optional) (1024w x 500h, 24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha) with no transparency; all important elements within 924x400 safe zone in center of image
Other art
- Qt splashscreen (any size)
- the same size as the normal splash is probably fine; 512x512. Or anything smaller. Or larger, even. Will be placed in the center of the screen and scaled down uniformly until it fits in view
- this is shown before the normal Stellarium splashscreen, but this one doesn't have a version # or anything else on it that isn't baked-in (so yes, we get two splash screens, so this should probably not be a repeat of the other one)
New issues
Known issues
- Performance and CPU usage need to be looked at (above)
- Check for NPOT texture support (driver may be returning true even if it's not)
- do we care?
- App should be suspended or outright killed when it's switched away from, as it continues to go full tilt and drain battery
- need to (re)disable "Zoom to Fullscreen" option on tablets
- it occasionally crashes very soon after starting; usually shortly after, or even during the loading screen
- it may happen more frequently immediately after installing the app. The log and logcat output show nothing interesting.
- this is associated with startup somehow; after the ~30 second mark, I've not seen it crash. I've had it running overnight unintentionally without instability.
Issues waiting for necessitas
- necessitas bug #120 prevents us from using the package's Assets directory, as we would ideally do. For now, manually copy the files that get placed in stellarium/android/java/assets to /sdcard/stellarium on the device.
- there's a fix that's yet to be reviewed
resuming the app (switching to another app, then back before Android closes it) results in a blank screen
- there's a not-yet-reviewed fix for this as well
Misc notes
See: Building for Android
Right now, the main thing I need is development help. Please feel free to lend a hand; create a branch off the current one (see Building for Android) and go to town. Read above for means of communication.
Translators and testers will be needed at some point.

Leave it to a good old language barrier to make an interview super-awkward!
Justin Timberlake was in Brazil to promote his latest flick, "Runner, Runner," when he found himself caught in a super uncomfortable interview with Brazilian TV personality Sabrina Sato from the TV show "Pânico na TV." The TV host spoke extremely broken English, but Timberlake did his best to handle the questions like a pro, even when things took an awkward turn.
Sato asked the "Suit and Tie" singer if he thinks he's the next king of pop and if he thinks he's better than Michael Jackson. Timberlake did his best to put on a professional face. "No," he said chuckling. "I don't think anybody is. Michael Jackson is the best."
But that's only the beginning. Sato compliments J.T.'s dancing skills and tells him he sings and dances "like a black American," asking him if he would "want to learn to samba like a black Brazilian?" Timberlake laughs and turns to his publicist, who rejects Sato's offer to have him dance with her. Ouch!
And as if things weren't bad enough, Sato presented Timberlake with a beautifully wrapped gift. Inside the box? A mold of her rear end autographed for the star! "[It says] with love," Timberlake said. "That's very nice."
Check out the vid to see Justin's absurdly awkward interview, and tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for the latest in entertainment news.

Fear to redemption, author's life unfolds
The odds against him were stacked high. Sexually molested at the age of 4, he served time in juvenile prison at 13. By the time he was 15, psychologists determined that he would never succeed in life. "You'll most likely spend the rest of your life in prison," a probation officer said to him.
But God had a plan. Formerly of Scott Township, author Bernie Bernwall tells his life's story in his newly released memoir "Mi Vida Loca," which translates from Spanish to "My Crazy Life."
Born in Los Angeles, he moved to Canada to live with his mother, grandmother and great-grandmother where a troublesome pattern began with the Toronto police. Once back in the states, the behavior continued as he was involved in both petty and grand theft in the notorious gang member-infested "Pico Neighborhood" of Santa Monica.
Considered a trouble youth, he lived in boys' homes, juvenile hall and in several foster homes before moving to Five Acres Children's Aid Society, a home for emotionally handicapped or orphaned children. Back home in 1968, the next year was filled with truancies and continuous trouble with the law. A youth home known as "Trailback Lodge" became his home in 1971, where a former inmate friend introduced Bernwall to the Gospel message of Jesus.
At 17, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. Drugs, alcohol and sexual exploits followed Bernwall from West Germany to Washington, D.C., until he recommitted his life to Christ. Following seven years of active duty, Bernwall enrolled in a Bible school and eventually received a diploma, an equivalent to an associates degree in theology.
A graduate of Mid-West Bible College, Bernwall began preaching God's Word and has been involved in ministry for more than 27 years ministering in prisons, jails, juvenile probation camps and at churches in the U.S. and Europe.
In 1992, after completing a course in Wildlife Law Enforcement and Conservation for a camping program at a church where he was employed, Bernwall was asked to become involved in weekly children's services.
Teaching young people changed Bernwall's life and he thanks God for giving him the glory for renewing his mind. Although Bernwall continued to move around the U.S., he has remained in ministry and began teaching and preaching in the same Los Angeles probation camps where he was once locked in. He began writing screenplays and wrote his book, "What Wouldn't Jesus Do?," taking a hard, cold look at the last four decades of Christian influence in the U.S. The book was published in 2011.
In May of this year, Bernwall moved from Pennsylvania to Wyoming to join a friend and his wife as they ministered and reached out to Native American tribes in three states.
His most recent book, "Mi Vida Loca: A Boy Chased by God," published June 2013, is Bernie's inspiring memoir. It is available on amazon.com.
