Government sources in the Central African Republic claim rebels are continuing their advance on the capital Bangui, despite agreeing to peace talks.
The Seleka rebels want long standing president Francois Bozize to step down amid claims he failed to honour a ceasefire deal.
Prominent Seleka rebel, Eric Neris Massi will attend the talks:
"I don't know what we are going to negotiate in Libreville. Maybe we will expose the heads of states of the Economic Community of Central African States. But we will discuss the transition programme we want to implement following the departure of Francois Bozize."
Bozize called on neighbouring countries to send soldiers to help stem the rebel advance and South African troops have now secured the presidential palace.
The Seleka rebels took up arms a month ago and have overrun a number of key towns and cities.
The UN claims that both pro-government forces and rebels are using children to fight, transport supplies and for sex.
In the capital Bangui life is becoming ever more difficult:
"The rebels have cut the road so there is no more traffic. The price of smoked meat has gone up a lot. Those who supply us are upset because their is no transport to Bangui. The only road open leads elsewhere," said one market trader in the capital.
Both sides of the conflict appear reluctant to make concessions the rebels want Bozize out before any peace deal can reached.
The president's office has flatly rejected any such outcome.
Talks are due to begin in Libreville, Gabon on Tuesday.

Let's see..."I claim to have memorized 10000 games." Hm, turns out it's pretty easy.
ive memorised 10,000 games, all of them went 1.e4 e5 2.qh5 nc6 3.bc4 nf6 4.Qxf7#
Do you have any chess games memorized? (You can set the pieces and play through the whole thing without looking at notation)
Second question: how have you benefited from this?
The person who trained me to become a coach knows at least 100 games by heart. His FIDE rating has remained the same for the last 20 years, that is, 2200-2250. He can also tell you the colour of any square right away, play blind chess, play simuls for 12 hours, etc. The thing is, he did not start to do these stuff to improve his chess, but because he enjoyed doing them.
However, I've heard him say that sometimes while playing a game, he can recognise some patterns from the many games he has studied, and if this happens, he plays at GM level.
Well...It's a transliteration of what he said, so there's no way we can be sure, Andy ;)

REVIEW: BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD (M) (93 min)
Directed by Benh Zeitlin Starring Quvenzhane Wallis, Dwight Henry, Levy Easterly.
A few miles outside an unnamed city, not a million kilometres away from New Orleans, there is an area the locals call Bathtub.
To one side is the ocean, to the other are the swamps, and the levy wall that protects the city. It is a village of true - and often drunken - individuals. The golden child in their midst is a fearless six-year-old by the name of Hushpuppy. She lives in a one-room shack atop a high set of stilts. Wink, her father, has a similar setup. When that night's meal is cooked, Dad pulls on a rope that rings a bell.
Days pass learning how to catch a fish barehanded from a raft. We know that Wink is ill, because we recognise that he appears at home in a hospital gown. But to Hushpuppy, Wink is just being even more distant and morose than usual, and she is at that age when children need to find a place in the world that is somewhere other than in their parents' shadow. Outside, a storm is brewing fast.
What happens to Wink and Hushpuppy during that storm, and during the days after, is the guts of this wonderful film. But to describe Beasts of the Southern Wild as a drama of survival would be a misrepresentation. Shot, mostly, from the point of view of Hushpuppy, this film does a better job than any I know of capturing the magic of a child's imagination.
Hushpuppy knows, because her teacher told her, that the seas will rise, and that strange beasts in the Arctic ice will be released. Just as she knows that her mother was so beautiful that water boiled when she walked past, and that her daddy will never die.
Directed by first-timer Benh Zeitlin, in partnership with a collective of young film-makers who call themselves Court 13, Beasts of the Southern Wild is an hallucinatory romp of a film.
It is blessed by a great storytelling prowess and a wild, joyous celebration of what cinema can achieve.
This is a noisy, rambunctious, howl of a film, shot through with music, laughter, pathos, and some of the most gloriously unexpected and inventive visuals I've seen in years. Imagine Fellini with a handycam, shooting fairytales in the aftermath of Katrina, and you might think you have some idea of what to expect. But you don't.
Just go and see Beasts of the Southern Wild. It may well be my favourite film of 2012.

Found in all cells, mitochondria are tube shape "organelles" that convert food into useful energy; when mitochondria fail, disease results. Now researchers at OHSU have found that an antioxidant targeting "mitochondrial dysfunction" can help alleviate symptoms in mice that have a multiple sclerosis-type disease. MS is a condition in which the body's immune system attacks the myelin, a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers of the central nervous system. Symptoms can include blurred vision, numbness and paralysis. Treated with the antioxidant — called MitoQ — afflicted mice showed reduced demyelination and inflammation of the neurons, says P. Hemachandra Reddy, an associate scientist in the Division of Neuroscience at OHSU's Oregon National Primate Research Center. The antioxidant appears to work by entering neuronal cells quickly, then "scavenging" the free radicals that can damage cells — damage linked to numerous maladies. The next step is to understand exactly how MitoQ protects mitochondria within the brains of mice with the MS-type condition — and then conduct trials on humans. Although MitoQ was designed more than a dozen years ago, this is the first time it has been tested as an MS therapy. "This is a major breakthrough for MS patients," says Reddy.

Bradford Bulls sack head coach Cummins
Bradford Bulls have sacked head coach Francis Cummins. The Bulls' decision to let Cummins and his assistant Lee St Hilaire go, comes just 24 hours after the club's crushing defeat by Salford which left them eight points from safety with 11 matches left of the First Utility Super League campaign.
In the meantime skipper Matt Diskin has been placed in temporary charge ahead of Friday's visit of Hull KR, under the guidance of managing director Steve Ferres.
"This is a decision which has not been made lightly and Bradford Bulls would like to thank both Francis and Lee for their efforts over the years.
Both have worked under difficult circumstances during their time here, but the club recognises that a change of direction is required."
Bradford Bulls spokesman
Leeds Rhinos captain gets MBE in Birthday Honours
Leeds Rhinos captain, Kevin Sinfield has said he is "really proud" after being recognised in the Queen's Brithday Honours. Sinfield, who also captains the England Rugby League side, has been made an MBE. He has led the Rhinos through one of their most successful periods.
He says he found out about the honour a few weeks ago - but was sworn to secrecy.
Bradford Bulls give teenager full-time contract
Bradford Bulls have given a two-year full time contract to teenage half back Adam Brook. The 19-year-old has yet to make a Super League appearance but impressed in the Bulls' pre-season friendly against Hull.
I am absolutely over the moon to sign a full-time contract with the Bulls, it is a dream come true for me. Since the age of six, when I first started playing rugby league, my dream was to turn professional at Super League level."
"Adam's new deal is thoroughly deserved. He has worked very, very hard to earn it. He was given an opportunity to do further training last year and grasped the opportunity with both hands."
Agar steps down as Wildcats head coach

"I am really pleased to be joining the Rhinos and excited about the challenge of joining a new competition in Super League.
Leeds have been a top club for the last decade and I know I am joining a very competitive squad who have a great work ethic, that is evident from the success they have had. I have been to Leeds in the past and really enjoyed the City. "
Adam Cuthbertson, Leeds Rhinos
Rotherham pin hopes on play off successes in rugby and football
It promises to be a tense but exciting weekend for sports fans in Rotherham.
The town's football club travel to Preston for the first leg of their League 1 playoff semi final tomorrow evening.
Earlier in the day Rotherham's rugby club, the Titans, take on Bristol in the first leg of their playoff semi final.
The local newspaper says its the town's biggest sporting weekend in modern times, as Chris Dawkes reports:
Rotherham Titans take on Bristol in play-off clash
Rotherham Titans are building up to what the club has described as its biggest game in a decade against Bristol on Saturday.
They play in the Greene King IPA Championship semi final at the Memorial Grounds hoping to return to the Rugby Union Premiership after a ten year absence.
Titans coach Lee Blackett has been speaking to Chris Dawkes:
Hull KR secure capacity increase ahead of derby
Hull KR will be looking forward to a bumper crowd at Thursday's game against Hull FC - and not just because it's a derby.
The club has increased the capacity of the KC Lightstream Stadium by around 700.
Now, 12,255 fans will be cheering on the teams in one of Super League's fiercest rivalries.
The Robins' CEO Mike Smith said: "After reaching a near capacity crowd for the opening game of the season we wanted to look at where we could increase the capacity even further.
"We've made no secret of the fact we are an ambitious club with regards to our off the field development and we want to target two to three games a season where we have big capacity crowds so this is an important step in fulfilling that strategy."
Bradford Bulls appeal against administration points deduction
Bradford Bulls have launched an appeal against the Rugby League Football's imposition of a six-point deduction for going into administration. The club say they have already received the go-ahead from the RFL to fight the penalty.
A statement issued by the club said:
"Bradford Bulls can today announced their right of appeal against the club's points deduction has been granted by the sport's governing body. The notice of intention to appeal was lodged with the Rugby Football League by former administrator David Wilson.
However the appeal could not proceed until the ownership of the club was resolved. Following consultation with legal representatives the new board have confirmed their intention to proceed with the appeal process and are now awaiting a hearing date."
Carnegie secure winger Doherty on two year deal
Leeds Carnegie have announced that winger David Doherty, 27, has agreed a new two year contract with the club that will keep him at Headingley Carnegie until at least the end of the 2015-16 season.
Doherty, who originally made his debut for Leeds back in 2004 when he became the youngest ever player to appear in the Premiership, is now in his second spell at the club having played at London Wasps, Sale Sharks, Jersey and Cornish Pirates before returning home to Leeds last season.
His try in last Sunday's win over Nottingham took him to third in the all time list of try scorers for the club with 34 tries in 70 appearances in all competitions, one ahead of Simon Middleton and three behind Dan Scarbrough.
Speaking about his new contract, Doherty said, "I am delighted to have signed the new deal, I am really settled back home in Leeds and I can only see us going forward in the future. I love the environment we have hereand I think there is something special in the future for this group."

Convincing high school students to skip in front of their peers may not be an easy task, but getting them to talk about their feelings may be even more difficult.
Youth Frontiers accomplished both with the freshman class of Brookfield East High School last week.
Youth Frontiers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building positive student environments, is a Minnesota-based educational program that visits schools in the Midwest.
Leaders of the program spend the day with students, encouraging them to interact with one another through games and activities — like skipping — in order to get them comfortable enough to discuss serious issues.
For Brookfield East, the freshman "retreat" in the gymnasium focused on respect.
"We wanted the program to provide a sense of community in the (freshman class)," said guidance counselor Michelle McKenna. "This teaches them about self-respect and how to respect others.
"It's much more than just 'bullying is bad.' The program really gets kids to speak honestly and some tears are shed — it's a very beautiful experience."
Students were often asked to pair up with multiple peers to accomplish a task, forcing them to interact with more than just their friends.
"Our philosophy is: when in doubt, freak them out," said Jonny Herchert, staff musician and presenter for the Youth Frontiers retreat. "The games are designed to get the kids mingling with each other."
"The students had limited knowledge of what this retreat would be, and I think that was a good thing," said Associate Principal Jeremy Martin. "Some of the kids really surprised me" by stepping outside their comfort zone.
After the retreat, students were then asked to set goals for themselves. The school will ask them about their goals 30 days later and see if "the retreat resonated with them," McKenna said.
"Respect can't be learned in a day, obviously, but these retreats can remind students to be more respectful, and they can look back on them and remember that they had a fun day (at the retreat)," Herchert said. "They definitely have an impact."

GlenBricker's Review
LEGO Ideas Aggregator, Analysis, & Advice...Plus other random cool things people are trying to make happen
Friday, November 14, 2014
Natural History Museum reaches 10,000.
The Natural History Museum has just reached 10,000 supporters.
Despite the frequency with which even very high quality "City"-esqe Modulars are published to Ideas, the Natural History Museum is the first to be applicable for review, which is quite an accomplishment indeed.
To be sure, we have had several licensed ones and, of course, the Western Themed Modulars, but this is the first Modular to reach 10,000 through the modular's specific subject matter.
The Natural History Museum will be joining the following projects in the review that starts on January 5th, 2015:

Big Bang Theory and LEGO Birds get approved for Production!
LEGO has selected our Big Bang Theory LEGO Ideas proposal to be an actual LEGO set!
Alatariel and I (GlenBricker) are not only deeply honored that LEGO has made this decision, but also excited and proud to be some small part of a show that we both love.
This proposal has been an amazing ride right from the moment it was posted to Ideas, and with reaching 10,000 in less than a month, was once of the fastest projects to reach that goal.
We give the deepest thanks to all those who voted for the project as well as shared it with their friends, families, and readers! Without your support this, quite literally, would not be possible.
This announcement of production will lead to other milestones such as the reveal of the official set, publication of release date, and, of course, the actual release of the set. If you would like to stay on top of these details, please consider following us on twitter or our blogs:
As for the other projects that shared our review:
Congrats to the LEGO Birds project! We hope to see some Doctor Who sets make the next review and our deepest sympathies go out to those projects that were not picked up. We know that you have poured your heart and soul into your Ideas Campaigns and that getting to the review, without reaching production is incredibly disheartening. For those wishing to rework their concept and post again, we wish you the best of luck.
For the Doctor Who fans out there, to showcase how much we all love Doctor Who, please consider also voting for the 10th Doctor's Tardis project. The more votes in ANY Doctor Who project there are, the more likely it is that at least one project will get produced.
Thank you once again!
Alatariel & GlenBricker
For those still reading, who have enjoyed our work, please excuse this moment of crass promotion of our other projects.

Some Interesting Ideas
Pick of the WeekCivilization: Beyond Earth Worker Mech
by AndrewClark2
This is about as good it gets as far as project execution.
With the main image we have:
- An attractive model that is well scaled to the target audience and does not discourage people unfamiliar with the IP
- The quality of the model image is first rate, showing its features clearly with great lighting, angle, and focus
- The dialog on the main image makes the subject matter clear
- The additional graphic accentuate the draw to the project without detracting from the subject
- Vehicles and Mech appeal to LEGO and its fans and this is combination of both.
- Civilization has inroads with both old school gamer and new audiences
- The project release is well timed with the release of the game
A few points that I would add though:
- This project did well to come out just after the game, but ideally when your project is based on anything with a date involved, you want to strive to get it out in advance to take full advantage of the hype. I do assume however that in this case, AndrewClark2 maybe have been contractually obligated to postpone the release until after the game went public. This advice is really directed to the public at large.
- There are unavoidable similarities between this build and Emmet's construction mecha from the LEGO Movie. This could negatively impact LEGO's decision to produce as to not confuse branding. There is nothing to be done about this though. If you have an idea, and it shares some elements with something LEGO is already doing, consider what you can change to make it more novel and what you want to keep to get buy-in, but if you are basing it on a specific subject (such as a Civilization Worker Mech in this case), all you can do is stay true to the subject and hope for the best.
- Some will consider this really pedantic but personally, I would have kept the content about the gift to FIRAXIS, and the related image, for an update to the project. I perceive that content as diluting the message and connection to the core demographic of supporters rather than building it up.
Normally I would not bother to mention this, especially relative to how tight the project is, but as I think this is otherwise an expertly well orchestrated project, worthy of emulation, I feel obligated to note that as something I usually try to avoid.
I am not saying there is no place for these types of stories. Placed in the updates, this content provides interesting details to people who are "opting in" to see more.
Honorable Mentions
Canal House Modular Art Gallery
by haperon
A well done Modular.
I do tend to gravitate more towards modulars with a bit more complexity and variation in the facade. Regardless of how accurate it is, a brick building is a brick building...
One of the things I love about this project though is how it has this novel concept of two different timelines, a historic one and a modern day. It is a nice touch that creatively helps the project stand out.
Gee Bee Z Super Sportster Airplane
by buggyirk
I love Gee Bees for some reason.
The Legend of Zorro
This project certainly has some presentation elements that I recognize and approve of:
Clear title, Character, and Build in one image.
I will note that if you look at it too long, it kind of looks like a giant man and horse are about to trample on some tiny people ;)
The proposed build is well done with eye catching features and attention to detail like variations in the color of the shingles. I like how the build opens up too for play areas.
Although I and many others enjoy Zorro, it will of course be hard to convince LEGO to execute such a profound build, but you really need to impress people for them to take notice.
Apple Macintosh 128K
by Fbsarts
I would not have "Honorably Noted" this project if I had not seen the actual details that are hidden inside the build. This project has a secret that you can only really grok by looking at the project. Yes it has a clever "sticker" indicating "circuits inside" but that didn't really make sense to me.
Seriously though, check out the project directly. It has some really excellent content. This project is just waiting for some geeky blogs to find it.
Red Skull's Hydra Roadster
by ArtGONG
This could easily have been the project of the week. The design speaks well to the subject AND to the scale. It also executes the subject without overdoing it. Of course, in the long run, it will be a hard sell to get a "bad guy" vehicle from a single movie produced.
Bubble Hockey
by MikeGeorge
I love these dynamic projects but they never seem to do well on Ideas, much to my sorrow.

Some Interesting Ideas
Jurassic Park opens its gatesThe title pretty much says it all. Jurassic Park was on Ideas's verboten list for a while but with LEGO gaining access to the Jurassic World line, it looks like the projects are welcome back to Ideas as well. There has been quite a rush of project, not like Doctor Who of course, but you can't miss it.
There are some impressive projects to date, but as most are "car" or "car + prebuilt dino" I don't see much of them getting out from under the cloud of inevitable discovery.
Return of some classic Pirates!Skull Cove. RedBeard's Return!
by DarthKy
This is another project by DarthKy and myself and I am extremely pleased with the result AND the community response! 1000+ support in less than a week for a LEGO Homage is a rare event on Ideas.
Darthky and I tried to create a non-ship pirate set that would appeal to hard-core LEGO fans looking for more than the standard sets provide and I think we have delivered on that mission statement.
Darthky implemented a map table that just blew me away the first time I saw it. Really great parts usage.
It was also a lot of fun taking the classic figures of our youth and re-imagining them with modern levels of detail.
Of course, with a whole new Pirate line coming out in just a few months, and Pirates of the Caribbean on the horizon, we realize that these are pretty rough seas in which to launch our venture, but we will have fun with it anyway.
Pick of the Week
REVENGE - Frigate class shuttle (Galaxy Command)
I have a soft spot in my heart of the Galaxy Command line on Ideas. I was invited to help on some of the renders in the early projects but my responsibilities, LEGO and Non-LEGO both have required me to step back. However I still respect the group and love to see them come out with more content.
What is Galaxy Command? Well, it is a MOC series that has been produced on Ideas with aspects of it crowd sourced to the Cuusoo/Ideas community.
In many ways Galaxy Command reminds me of that webcomic you have been reading for years. If you dig back into the archive you can see where the creators were learning their style and how to basically get the most out of their art. With GC you can see how the quality and style have continued to develope.
This "Revenge" is the culmination of GC to date with a compelling, rendered design, great background, and eye catching logos and designs. It has a very tough climb ahead of it though both in support and review as "generic space ship" does not tend to do well on Ideas, regardless of execution.
Honorable Mentions
Jurassic Park
by senteosan
Extremely happy to see the return of this project now that Jurassic Park is back on ideas.
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. "The Bus"
by Savath_Bunny
Great figures and an ambitious set concept!
I must say however that I think the execution of the set could use a bit of work. One of the most difficult aspects I have found in creating a solid "Ideas proposal" is pairing the right set with the right figs.
In this case, I feel that too much is being attempted in one design and unfortunately, both the aesthetic and the playability suffer for it.
The "Bus" can't look as cool as it might because it is housing a ton of playable scenes and the playability of the scenes (the rooms inside the Bus) are less accessible due to their integration and support of the Bus framework.
That being said, the base concept is a compelling one and sure to draw fans of the show.
Holiday Gingerbread House
by LEGOkSEA_68
A fun concept that has a good chance of getting produced some day, if not through this project, then another, or perhaps LEGO itself. Personally, I find the idea that most gingerbread houses are the same scale as LEGO minifigure houses too much fun of a coincidence to pass up for long.
While I would prefer this model to not be specifically based on an existing Winter Village set, there is technically nothing wrong with it, and the muggles are certainly not likely to judge based on that criteria.
The Stolen Ship
by korompaidani
A novel design for a classic pirate ship! There is a clever technique where the hull pulls out like drawers, check it out.
The Bat Spaceship! (Patent Pending)
by monsterobots
Sometimes a single feature, not even related to the build, can really promote a project. With this one I really love the integrated Batman and LEGO Space symbol.
NotablesSpooky Cemetery!

I would perhaps suggest something akin to the Deathstar, where the playscapes are fully open on the side instead of top down.

Brickstarter: Mouse Guard
Guy Himber is at is again with his crowd funded "Crazy Bricks."
This time around the subject is Mouse Guard, an avant-garde comic series set in a world much like our Earth but instead of humans being around, you have sentient mice. Not giant Mickey mice, but your standard scale mice with minimal physical anthropomorphism.
It is certainly an interesting read and the art is quite phenomenal. You don't have to take my word for it as it is an Eisner award winning publication.
Well, back on point to why we are all here. Himber is crowd sourcing the production of minifig compatible Mice head for minifigs and a variety of medieval weapons.
I gotta say, I love it when minifigs are presented as "actual size" and Guy has proven he can deliver on these kickstarters.
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Some Interesting Ideas
I have two additional articles that might be of interest to FOLS this week.
- An interview with Alatariel, the creator of the Research Institue. We discuss her history with LEGO, her experience with the project, and her thoughts on LEGO Ideas.
- An in depth review of The LEGO Neighborhood Book. I would recommend this book to any FOL, but especially to those trying their hand at a modular on LEGO Ideas.
Pick(s) of the WeekThis is one of those rare weeks where I could not decide between two great projects.
Concorde Display Set
by ABStract
The Concord is one of those modern marvels that, like manned moon missions seemed to be the start of something new and spectacular, a new era, but unfortunately stands alone (well, nearly alone) as a singular front runner.
I think, like the DC-3, that these detailed aircraft builds could be a way for the classic non-LEGO model building community to transition to the interlocking bricks that the kids are much more into these days. Additionally LEGO could bring aviation geeks or avgeeks (their term like our FOL) that don't have the time or skill to build classic models into the LEGO fold as well due to the ease with even a complete novice can execute a LEGO set.
As for the model itself, I like it a lot. The heavy studding of the wings is a bit of a negative but there is really not much you can do about that. The addition of the Bristol Olympus engine is a great touch to set this apart.
As usual ABStract expertly executes the presentation of the main image with an attractive model, background, and titling.
As for the audience, although this is an retired aircraft this is a pretty good choice. You have this transcontinental appeal (North America, UK, France, and even Barbados), you have an in with avgeeks, and as an engineering marvel you have a lot of engineers that identify with the craft.
Little Red Schoolhouse
by tdh-br
If you are a serious LEGO fan, make sure to really check this project out. At first I was not expecting much, but as I really examined it, it went from notable, to honorable, to a shared "pick of the week." Like the Food Truck, this project really exemplifies the subtle excellence you expect in an official LEGO model.
Excellent model at the perfect scale that really nails the image people have of the tiny red brick schoolhouse. The roof is also extremely well done and quite efficient with part usage. I love that the structure is off angle as well, though there are more officially acceptable ways in which to execute it.
I really love how the project basically nails all the critical points without excess. That is extremely difficult for even experienced FOLs to pull off. At the same time there is attention paid to even simple part placement. For example, the pillars are turned 45 degrees off standard to give them a bit of a pop.
The Bus is a nice accent and gives us that vehicle that nearly every LEGO set needs.
The only problem is I am not sure about the global appeal of this image of an "old school" school. I think of it as very "North American" image and not just because of the U.S. flag integrated into the project.
Honorable MentionsSteampunk Betty (Emerald Night Redux)
by thedarknight
A fun build that leverages a classic set. Very clever. I like how the mecha is clearly embracing the train motif, not just using parts from the Emerald Night but also trying to evoke the design itself.
I think the legs fail to live up to what the rest of the build is delivering. I also think this project might be the ignominious winner for "most tags on a single project."
Versailles 1668
by Djeaser
This build is not quite so huge as a first look might imply. Micro scale on a grand scale! Not quite sure where I would display this but it is simply gorgeous.
Pictorial Map of The United States
by mmbace
Love this for all the same reasons as the European model.
As someone who grew up in Wyoming I feel inclined to give my two cents: Add a reference to Yellowstone, perhaps Old Faithful.
NotablesProject Voltes Five (Voltes V)
by konrad_keska
First off, the structure in the main image, is large and thin with no minifig play value other than, well, going through the entrance.
If it was by itself I could see it working out okay as a display model propped against a wall, but still the whole structure only gets a few minutes time in the movie and it only serves as the entrance and exit to the movie's last sequence, in other words, it is a lot of bricks and volume to display something, though assuredly pretty, is technically irrelevant to the film and story. I feel the same way in regard to the Lars homestead. It is a desert igloo where that whiny kid Luke lives before all the cool stuff happens.
But, despite the main image, there is actually a long sequence of traps and such from the movie attached to the back of this build. So, you have this inherent setup problem. Where are you going to put this thing. When you are considering a design you hope to market you need to do a thought exercise where you try to picture where someone is going to put the set to showcase it. Generally people only have a few location in their home that are appropriate and they tend to only have one good viewing angle. So in order to see the sequence of traps, all you see is the back of this really tall, thin, wide structure. If you display it with the pretty wall face out you end up with this awkward facade hanging out in space with a thin, long hard to see structure pushing it out from the wall.
Now, on to the "action sequence." This is also problematic. This structure is basically a canyon build. It is long with two sides, the problem being that everything of interest is inside the canyon. This obstructs the view and lighting and is an impediment to general playability.
As a comparison lets look at the action sequence set from Raiders.
You can see that one side is open. The circumstances of the sequence are the same: Characters going down a long tunnel of traps and challenges, but in this case, LEGO has created an open diorama. This has a much wider angle of playability, and view and has a very photogenic view angle.

I don't care for how the pictures for the project are sorted though. The first six images are for a much larger, over the top, "Canceled" version that detracts from the quality of the more elegant project. I don't exactly mind that they are included, but I think it would send a more consistent message if the "cancelled" images were after the main concept.
by Devid%20VII
I therefore find it quite surprising that Ideas confuses the issue by allowing a project that actually refers to itself as a "battle pack" in the text.
by Sevalgo
I love dynamic projects that I can figure out how to change into something different while leveraging the animatronics that the build introduces.
Adding anything to this sphere will basically break its function. So, awesome concept, but I can't see a way to leverage the design.

MH17 crash: Nato sees evidence 'weapons are still moving from Russia to Ukraine'
UK experts will examine MH17 flight data from the black boxes today
Heather Saul
Heather Saul is an online news reporter for www.independent.co.uk
Thursday 24 July 2014
Nato is still seeing evidence of weapons being moved from Russia into Ukraine after the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed last week, a Nato military officer has said.
The first 40 bodies from the 298 passengers killed who were on board the 17 July flight arrived in the Netherlands yesterday for identification and more bodies are expected to arrive today. The Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has this morning warned it could take "weeks or even months" before remains of the 43 Malaysians on board are repatriated.
On Wednesday, Ukraine's defence ministry said two of their fighter jets had been shot down close to the crash site in eastern Ukraine by pro-Russian rebels, apparently by missiles.
Western leaders have accused Russia of arming the rebels throughout the crisis in Ukraine. The unnamed officer said: "We have noted an increase in the amount of weapons being transferred from Russia to Ukraine in the last several weeks.
"We continue to see evidence of the movement of weapons into Ukraine from Russia since the downing of (Malaysia Airlines flight) MH17, which is a cause for concern."
The European Union has said Russia must stop the flow of weapons across the border or face tougher sanctions.
The news comes as investigators from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch in Hampshire tasked with analysing the plane's black boxes confirmed they had successfully downloaded "valid data" from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) which will be "further analysed".

Dutch mayor says Putin's daughter should be deported
Separatists tampered with evidence, intelligence suggests
The Dutch Safety Board (DSB), which is leading the investigation, said the CVR was damaged but the memory module intact, while "no evidence or indications of manipulation" was found after it was handed over by rebels earlier this week. The CVR records conversations and ambient sounds in the cockpit of a flight.
An examination of the flight data recorder (FDR) will begin today.
The DSB said: "This will show whether this recorder also contains relevant information, in which case the data from both recorders will be combined."
Last night, Alexander Borodai, the self-styled prime minister of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), told the BBC his forces did not have the missile intelligence sources believe shot down the plane, insisting that any evidence showing otherwise is a "fake".
"No, we didn't get a Buk. There were no BUKs in the area" he insisted.
Video: PM 'appears to have adopted a stronger policy'
Any photographs purporting to show a SA-11 BUK missile launcher, the type some believe brought down the passenger jet, were "photoshopped", he added.
Borodai also claimed the US President Barack Obama was "feeding off the Ukrainian propaganda machine" and blamed the OSCE monitors for the bodies being left in fields for three days, who he said told him: "I represent 57 countries. Don't you dare touch the bodies of the dead."
On the same night, separatist commander Alexander Khodakovsky appeared to contradict Borodai, telling Reuters the rebels could have received a BUK missile system from Russia.
Alexander Borodai He said: "That Buk I know about. I heard about it. I think they sent it back. Because I found out about it at exactly the moment that I found out that this tragedy had taken place. They probably sent it back in order to remove proof of its presence."
However, he later appeared to retract his comments, telling Russian news agency Life News that he had simply been discussing "possible versions" with Reuters. He insisted rebels "do not have and have never had" a BUK.

SALT LAKE CITY — A data breach within the Utah Department of Health in 2012 that compromised personal information of 780,000 Utahns has not been linked to any cases of identify theft, state lawmakers were told Thursday.
David Patton, executive director of the Utah Department of Health, updated a legislative committee on the agency's response to the data breach, which included personal information of people on Medicaid, retirees on Medicare, people who are privately insured and others who are uninsured. The information contained some 280,000 Social Security numbers.
Patton said there were 37 incidents in which people raised questions whether the breach was tied to identity theft. That was later winnowed down to four possible connections. But after further review, it was determined the issues were not directly tied to the breach, Patton said.
In March 2012, hackers accessed data from a Medicaid server. Since then, the state has provided credit monitoring, conducted community meetings and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on security experts and enhancements. Between the health department and Department of Technology Services, some $9 million has been spent enhancing security of state data systems since the breach.
Earlier this year, the Utah Legislature appropriated an additional $300,000 to the health department to improve its internal data security.
Patton, appearing before the Utah Legislature's Social Services Appropriations Subcommittee, reported that the department had hired the equivalent of 2.5 employees to address security issues.
Francesca Lanier, the Utah Department of Health's data security manager, said the department has put a number of safeguards in place in the past 12 months to head off ongoing attempts to infiltrate state data systems. The department has also improved training to help ensure the security of its 182 data systems.
"With your support, we will continue to work diligently to put in place comprehensive security systems so we can meet this obligation to the public," she said.
Mark VanOrden, the state's chief information officer and executive director of the Department of Technology Services, said data systems managed by the state are subjected to millions of attempted cyber attacks daily.
At the start of the Legislature's 2013 general session, the state was dealing with 20 million attacks a day, he said. By the end of the 45-day general session, the number exceeded 40 million.
One day in July, the state experienced more than 300 million attacks.
"These attacks become more and more sophisticated so we need to keep training our people and stay on top of this," he said, explaining that the department works around the clock to protect the state's data systems.
