David Adam Smith on Government ReformDemocratic Representative (WA-9) | |
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D, FL-20): We, as Members of Congress, have responsibility not just for the institution, but for the staff that work for this institution, and to preserve the facilities that help support this institution. We have endeavored to do that responsibly, and I believe we have accomplished that goal.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SCALISE (R, LA-1): It's a sad day when someone attempts to cut spending in a bill that grows government by the size of 7%, and it's not allowed to be debated on this House floor. Some of their Members actually used the term "nonsense" and "foolishness" when describing our amendments to cut spending; they call that a delaying tactic. Well, I think Americans all across this country want more of those types of delaying tactics to slow down this runaway train of massive Federal spending. Every dollar we spend from today all the way through the end of this year is borrowed money. We don't have that money. We need to control what we're spending.
Return Politics to the People
At a time when much of the world is emulating American values and institutions, too many Americans have lost confidence in their political system. They are turned off by a partisan debate that often seems to revolve not around opposing philosophies but around contending sets of interest groups. They believe that our current system for financing campaigns gives disproportionate power to wealthy individuals and groups and exerts too much influence over legislative and regulatory outcomes.
The time for piecemeal reform is past. As campaign costs soar at every level, we need to move toward voluntary public financing of all general elections and press broadcasters to donate television time to candidates.
The Internet holds tremendous potential for making campaigns less expensive and more edifying and for engaging Americans directly in electoral politics. We should promote the Internet as a new vehicle for political communication and champion online voting.
Effective with respect to pay periods beginning after the date of the regularly scheduled general election for Federal office held in November 2012, the rate of basic pay for each Member of Congress shall be reduced by 5%, rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.
This adjustment shall be in lieu of any adjustment which might otherwise take effect, in the rates of basic pay for Members of Congress.
Congressional Summary:Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act): Amends the Securities Exchange Act and the Commodity Exchange Act to prohibit purchase or sale of either securities or commodities by a person in possession of material nonpublic information regarding pending or prospective legislative action.
Bill explanation (ProCon.org, "Insider Trading by Congress", Feb. 3, 2012):
Congressional Summary:
The result of Citizens United was that "Super PACs" spent millions on TV ads in the 2012 election, advocating both issues and candidates. The DISCLOSE Act attempts to reduce the negative effect of Citizens United by requiring disclosure of independent expenditures made by advocacy groups.
A BILL to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require States to establish a minimum period of 15 days for early voting prior to the date of an election for Federal office and to ensure that no individual will be required to wait for longer than one hour to cast a ballot at a polling place in an election for Federal office.
Congressional summary:
Proponent's argument in favor (by Reps. Nancy Pelosi & John Sarbanes): Citizens United shook the foundation of our democracy: the principle that it is the voices of the people, not the bank accounts of the privileged few, that determine the outcome of our elections and the policies of our government. Most members of Congress would leap at the chance to fund their campaigns without having to turn to a familiar cast of big donors and entrenched interests. Today, that's virtually impossible. But we can and must break the grip of special interests on our politics: rally around H.R. 20.
Opponent's argument against (The Examiner): The proposed legislation seeks to undo the Citizens United v. FEC ruling which has been a thorn in the side of progressives ever since the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that political spending was "a form of protected speech under the First Amendment." Although the "Government by the People Act" innocently claims to want to get big money out of politics, the real goal is to smash the Tea Party. The fear that conservative groups would have access to funds typically granted to progressive groups and unions was too much to bear.

Fulham striker David Healy admits he cannot understand why he is more prolific at international level with Northern Ireland than with his club.
"I just can't put my finger on it," Healy told the Daily Mail. "I've been asked by previous managers why I score so many international goals against supposedly better defenders, but I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about it.
"Confidence is everything for strikers and when I turn up I'm expecting to score - and I think the whole country is expecting me to score."
He added: "If I hadn't scored for Fulham already there would be people saying I'm a waste of money, or I'm out of my depth, or I can't make the step up. Fortunately, I was bought on the cheap. I don't have a £5m price tag."

I think such a precise rating system as two decimal points (or even one, really) invites unfair comparisons. Sure, behind-the-scenes it could be that specific but for public view it should be simplified to a rating out of five stars or something broad like that. As an aside, I disagree that a new movie makes an older one less entertaining to someone who hasn't seen it. For those that think otherwise, regarding that 'perfect score' point: what if it were graded on the curve? Say we start off with a few really good movies entered as 10.00 (or five out of five stars, as the public sees it). Then, if another one someday comes along that truly is better it could be given a 10.5, which displays as the new 5 out of 5. Eventually, when we've got so many new awesome movies that we're up to 17.5, the original 10.00 is displayed as a 4 out of 5 stars. Infinitely expandable. -j |

This is a very interesting idea, and I suppose that math wouldn't be too hard to work into the page to make it happen automatically. The only problem I see is it would kind of require the same raters to rate every single film from now until forever. If the ratings showed up as a normalized curve, then those are the ratings people would see and become familiar with and wouldn't ever know when to apply a "17″ or a "250″, which might be the case in 10 years or something. Even if the expanded numbers were easily visible by the raters, I don't really like this inflation of ratings. There'll be old timers saying, "back in my day, a good movie was just 15 points!" It seems like something that could get out of hand with time. "Dumbing down" the publicly seen ratings to 5 stars or such does make sense, as there probably isn't a whole lot of difference between an 8.5 and an 8.6. But, the movies will still sort in the same order in the directory and I don't think it would help "I won't watch anything less than an 8.0″ people. In fact, it could be worse, because anyone who wouldn't watch anything with less than 5 stars has in effect said the same thing. Also, is it fair to group a 7.9 with a 6.1? Maybe, maybe not. Is it more fair than declaring an 8.1 less watchworthy than an 8.2? I don't know. |

Brian of Gep |
I, too, think this is a good idea. But would it be possible to change the actual score down, so that the new "10.00″ can be beat by the next "10.05″? Not sure if this makes sense to anyone but me… Just ask if you don't understand. |

I think, for reasons mentioned above, that ratings and reviews should be coupled. Just a bunch of bad ratings would really make a filmmaker doubt himself, get angry and perhaps leave a hobby where he/she could be great. If a reviewer gives low rates, but then goes on to explain why he did so, thus giving the filmmaker pointers about where he could improve (which is often not even very hard), and point out aspects of the film where the filmmaker did do a good job, or at least was on the right way, heading in the right direction. Finally, while all these systems to distinguish between good and slightly better films sound good in theory, but won't work as well in practice. A rater would have to look up the exact rating of other films to be able to rate this one. This is highly impractical. Also, different raters will undoubtedly have different ideas about the value of ratings. For example, I once rated a film by Yolegoman with 3 smileys at Mocpages.com. He didn't know it was me, and was rather disappointed with the rating, while I consider a 3-star rating "above average, more than acceptable". I therefore suggest that raters can give only whole points or tenths of a point. Should 2 films have the same rating, then in a search the newer one should show up above the older one (secondary sorting criterium). Final remark: it's hard to compare films with each other. Is Good Company better than The Gauntlet? What does a .01 difference mean? Stefan. |

While having 5 people chained to their computers watching every single film and giving thoughtful reviews and ratings sounds good, it's scary to think that there word will become law, and that if your film doesn't work for them or even offends them it will simply slip through the cracks and die (which is what happens on the internet to things that aren't popular right away), so is there a way (all you tech guys that are doing all this work will love this extra work too!) to have a "critics rating" as well as a "public rating" where anyone who watches the movie can put a review in. Whatever though, I't's not like people aren't going to post their films in the forums and have peeps look at them and review them there anyways. -go topes |

The Film Directory is meant as a showcase of brickfilms that can be found on the internet. For a full discussion of your film, in which everyone can participate, there's always the forum. Stefan. |
June 15, 2003 at 4:35 pm #5341 | |
I bring this up again, as an alternative to a numerical system. Have a system where people don't look up by scores, but rather what a film did well. I havn't seen a film yet where there wasn't at least one aspect that was above average. This way, you will see the good things mentioned instead of the bad (though you would cover this in the review). Think of it this way: Robbie Newbie makes a film. He submits it to be reviewed. When the review is posted he feels down because it says the animation is choppy and the lighting can give you a headache. It goes onto say that the plot also has some holes in it(then gives suggestions on how these things could be better improved). But wait, right when Robbie Newbie is getting discouraged he sees that the voice acting was considered outstanding! AHA! Something to work with thinks Robbie Newbie. Then perhaps you could have "Reviewer's Choice" films. This is basically a film that the reviewer deemed good enough to keep permanently on his harddrive. Almost like a video game magazine rating system(without the numbers of course) where if you know reviewer "A" likes the same stuff you do, then you definately want to check out his "Choices". Anyway, just thought I would blab a bit more about this. This is my last post here for a few days, going out of town. See you all in a bit. |

Everyone has probably said this before, but I'm too tired to check. Some good 7.9 movies won't get watched by people who only watch the best. I don't like this points thing. |
June 15, 2003 at 5:16 pm #5353 | |
Logan |
I agree with motfilms. There are even some good 6/10 and 7/10 movies. Heck, I want everybody to see all the movies, not just the best ones. Maybe you could have it like a forum. They watch the movie and then they are transported to a forum place where they can reply to the original review(which would be aat the top) or write their own review. |

That's precisely the point of breaking ratings into different categories. If we have 6 categories, then Robbie Newbie might have his film listed fairly highly in the sound category for his voice acting. As long as any film has one good aspect to it, it won't get completely buried because it will be near the top of one list. Somehow this seems to have been forgotten: There will not be an overall rating, nor will it be possible for someone using the directory to sort by ratings in more than one category at a time. Someone coming to the directory who decides to sort by rating (as opposed to film length, film title, or release date) has to decide which category he'd like to sort by. He's gotta choose animation, or sound, or whatever, and it's not possible for him to generate a list that has the highest ratings in all the categories. In addition to how you sort the list, you can also specify film genre, file type, director, or even search on the title. There are so many permutations of the search parameters that there really can't just be one list that the same 5 films are always at the top of. As long as a film has some redeeming qualities, it stands a very good chance of coming near the top of some list. It all depends on what the user of the directory is looking for. This is the best solution I could think of to make both the "let's rate the films" people and the "every film deserves to be seen" people happy. There's gotta be a compromise somewhere. Now that's an interesting thought. Each reviewer could maintain a list of his personal favorites, and there could be a page explaining who the reviewers are. Then you could click "see what films this reviewer likes" or something and the directory would then show which films are in that reviewer's list. This would be a great opportunity to showcase films that might not score highly in any categories but have some qualities that a reviewer feels make the film worth downloading. This reminds me of a music store that I used to frequent where every week a different employee would get an endcap to display 10 CDs that they personally liked. I think I found at least 1 CD that way that I otherwise would not have known existed. Since I've been working with the directory so much lately, I'm discovering a lot of the old films that are really great but people don't talk about much. For instance, last night I watched "Milkman Dan," which had a terribly slow framerate and extremely sparse sets. But I thought the sounds were great and the story was hillarious. If I had a personal favorites list, this would probably be on it, though I can see how many people wouldn't enjoy it at all. I think you might be onto something here. |

By Paula Bernstein | Indiewire March 9, 2014 at 4:49PM
Everybody wants to know the secret to Jason Blum's success. If there was a turning point for the indie producer, it was, of all things, "The Tooth Fairy," the big-budget studio film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Having worked in acquisition for Miramax in the '90s, Blum eventually left to forge his own path as an indie producer. "I produced eight movies, 7 1/2 of which nobody has ever heard of," Blum told the audience at his SXSW keynote address earlier today. "I got frustrated making movies nobody had heard of," he explained. So he went on to produce "The Tooth Fairy."
"I couldn't stand it. It was what I thought I always wanted. I was there every day in the trenches and I hated everything about that job. But what I loved -- and what I got from 'The Tooth Fairy' -- was to see how studio movies were released," he explained.
The experience inspired him to create Blumhouse Productions and a business model that relies on low-budget films ($3-5 million) using experienced directors looking for creative control. After "Paranormal Activity" made Hollywood take notice, Blum stuck with the successful model and repeated the success with low-cost franchises like "Insidious" and "The Purge."
"Everyone thought I was nuts because everyone thought 'Paranormal Activity" was a magic trick... Then we had the sequel to 'Paranormal' and 'Insidious' and 'Sinister.' Recently, we had 'The Purge' which was the moment when the establishment finally was like 'this guy is on to something.'"
According to Blum, "Purge" cost $3 million and grossed $80 million worldwide.
Blum outlined the key elements of his low-budget model:
1. Everybody above the line works either free or for scale. If an actor asks for a trailer or other frills, he'll tell them, "You can have all those things, but you have to pay for it yourself. But more often than not, those things go away."
2. Never work with first time directors. "We work with experienced directors. We make a deal -- we're not going to pay you a lot, but you get to do what you want to do. Most directors get final cut. It's 'auteur' filmmaking, but for commercial movies... I tell directors: 'I can't promise you a hit, but I can promise you the movies is going to be yours.' When you work for a studio, they pay you a lot of money, but in exchange for that, they tell you what to do.
3. Cut down on time spent negotiating. "The way we structure our backend, we key the payments to the box office -- so that cuts the negotiating way down and it's very transparent. One of the things I'm most proud of is that we're really transparent with our process."
5. Don't go with the hot directors. "The directors that everyone's chasing, we're not chasing. If someone says 'we're meeting every studio in town,' I always say they should enjoy those meetings and shouldn't come here. My perfect director would be James Wan, who had done "Saw" and had two difficult experiences with a studio. He couldn't get a movie made and had a ton to prove and there was no way 'Insidious' was not going to be a great scary movie... Experienced directors can do a lot more with less."
6. Story and character matter -- even in horror movies. "The scares don't work if the story and characters work... if you take away the toys, the director has nothing to focus on but those things. I think it makes the movie stronger."
7. Don't think about a sequel until the original is shot. "Whenever anyone is doing an original movie and they say 'we want to end it this way for the sequel,' I always say 'don't do that.' You can always figure out a sequel, but it's really bad to plan for a sequel. We don't think about the sequel. We think about making a really good movie and if it's good, we think about a sequel."
8. Shoot in Los Angeles. Blum said he shoots 80% of his films in Los Angeles because "you get the best actors" and talent is willing to accept a smaller paycheck if it means they can "kiss their kids goodnight."
Talking about the future of film distribution, Blum emphasized that "a wide release shouldn't always be the golden ring" and anticipated that theatrical windows will eventually collapse. "The fact that we haven't collapsed windows is pushing the best artists into TV," he said, "'True Detective' wouldn't have happened eight years ago." Along those lines, he's trying to emulate his low-budget film model in TV. "We're interested in having the same conversation with showrunners that we're having with directors... Let's make 10 episodes for $300,000 each."
Looking back at his career, Blum isn't shy about acknowledging his mistakes. "When I worked for Harvey [Weinstein], I was one of the people who passed on 'The Blair Witch Project.' Instead, we bought a movie called 'Happy Texas' for $10 million, which you've probably never heard of... Harvey reminded me every week what a knucklehead I was and he was right to do so."
When asked for advice about how to break into the industry, Blum urged the crowd not to wait for approval from Hollywood. "The advice I give for filmmakers starting out is don't wait for me. Don't wait for the industry... It's a mistake to wait for Hollywood to tell you you have a good idea. If you have a good idea, try to make it on your own as cheaply as possible… on your phone."

Fired up about what, really?
Question for John Goodie re: his guest commentary piece, "Convention leaves 'em fired up and ready", Friday, Sept 14. Are you as proud and fired up of your democratic party's attempt to forbid the word God and the words about Jerusalem to be in their platform? Are you "proud" of the sight of your party booing during the vote taking? Remember this was booing against God and our constitution on both of which our country was founded. How much more do we need to convince us that this president is a believer of socialism? It disgusts and saddens me to see your party blindly following such a path.

Portuguese language
Portuguese language
Romance language spoken by about 170 million people in Portugal, Brazil, and other former Portuguese colonies. The first literary works in Portuguese date from the 13th–14th century. Standard Portuguese is based on the dialect of Lisbon. Dialectal variation in Portugal is limited, but the differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese are more extensive, including changes in phonology, verb conjugation, and syntax. The four major dialect groups are Northern (Galician, spoken in northwestern Spain), Central, Southern (including the Lisbon dialect), and Insular (including Brazilian and Madeiran) Portuguese.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Maintenance and Repair
kipk Posts: 1,576tuggajb,
You done good.
We left the thermostat out and ran some Prestone Cleaner ( Safe for all metals)through the system for about 20 minutes. . Drained and refilled with clear water 3 times. After the engine was good and cool we filled with clear water and started the engine, and let it run with the drain out and the bleed valve open while feeding water into the radiator, until the draining water was perfectly clear. It took quite a while to get the water clear. Just wanted to get all the cleaner out.
Installed the thermostat correctly, used a 50/50 mixture of Prestone and the gauge sits just under 210 degrees when warm. Like it is supposed to do.
FWIW, I'm not crazy about using cleaners in aluminum radiators, but this just seemed to really need it.
Thanks so much for your help.

n0otro Posts: 12Is there a fuel sensor on a 4.0L 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo?
Occasionally when I turn the car on, the fuel gauge will read Empty and it will give me the ding to signal that it's time to fill up. The problem is, there is definitely some gas in the car, and generally if you turn the car off, and turn it back on, it will give you the correct reading about how much gas is left.
I've just changed the oxygen sensor, the throttle position sensor, the Idle air control valve, and the ECM for a multitude of different problems(stalling), so it shouldn't be any of these parts.
What could the problem be? -
rwengr Posts: 177My jeep is a 97. The fuses should be listed inside your owner's manual and there should be a fuse for this function. I believe the fuse is for all power window/door lock modules. You will have to double check.
Assuming I am right, blown fuse cannot be reason because passenger door works. There is a microprocessor based control module inside your driver door. My recollection is that it cannot be repaired. It has to be replaced as an assembly. This type of part is typically available at a salvage yard local or on the Internet.
If you work on it yourself, be carefull when you disconnect the wiring harness. The connector will probably be difficult and if you pull on the wires you may damage the connector. Rubber gloves might make it easier to pull on it with your fingers and disconnect (-) of the battery before you work on it. -
mommytmh Posts: 3My kids entered my car thru the tailgate. They unlocked the doors from the inside and the alarm went off. This has happened before, and I did what the manual said, use the key on the driverside door to open and the alarm went off. This time, that didn't happen. What do I do. I don't have a remote start, just the key. Please please help. Thanks!

mommytmh Posts: 3Apparently there is a problem with the cylinder lock on the drive side door. In order to disable the alarm and start the car, all I had to do was use the key in the passenger door. Just and FYI in case anyone has the same problem. Would have been nice if the dealership could have told me this.

cesarherna Posts: 11Hello,
I have a 2000 jgc with the part time light ON, I try moving the shift to all other positions and set it back in 2wd position and the light still ON, is any way to check if the car is really runing in 4wd part time don't matter if it is set to 2wd or see if the problem is just the part time switch?
Thank you for any information. -
rwengr Posts: 177It could be the switch, but in my opinion, it is much more likely the cable is out of adjustment or the lever is not connected properly to the cable. Why ?
I have a 97 2wd with similar problem but with 2wd shift lever. The indicators on the shift lever don't line up. Moving the lever moves an orange plastic dial which is visible through cover with marks. No light, but mine is so far off you can barely see indicator when it is in Park. In your case moving the lever causes mechanical movement of the switch which turns on the light. Same concept. I bought my Jeep in 2000 and I guess over the years the cable stretches.
I looked at the cable adjustment procedure for mine and concluded it was not worth it. You have to dismantle the shift lever box. The cable from the shift lever goes into the top of the transmission. Using jack stands, it's hard to see up there while laying on your back. In my opinion, you really need a lift.
The info above should help you begin your investigation even if I am not 100% accurate. My apologies if I am way off target on this, but I would expect the switch to fail (i.e. light does not come on) if the problem was the switch. -

donstersjeep Posts: 4Wipers work fine on 'low', 'high' and 'wash' settings, but not on 'delay' setting(s). Wiring is okay and I (first) replaced the switch on the column but that didn't resolved problem.
Anyone know whether it might be the 'Ignition Pulse Module' or the 'wiper motor'? I hear there's a circuit inside the motor that controls the 'parking' (including during
delay cycles).
Thanks -
jeep00 Posts: 1My brake light has gone out a few times...i had the bulb replaced and it worked for a couple of weeks. Now the brake light is out again and when i replaced it it caused the tai light to go out as well. I'm not sure if it's a short or a manufactural problem but i have seen several jeeps with the tail light out. what should i do?

tdad71302 Posts: 18
clipkarn Posts: 20If it makes no attempt to start, you might try putting a timing light on it, crank it, and look for a spark indication. If you get a spark, the next is fuel. Fuel pump should be audible for a second or 2 back at the tank after turning the key to run. A fuel pressure check is more conclusive but you need "stuff" to make that test.

Series 5 minifigs revealed in Portugal
Posted by Huw,It looks as if this weekend's Arte em Peças event in Portugal was a success, judging by the pictures in their flickr stream.
Of particular interest to us are the excellent photos of the series 5 minifigs, both assembled and disassembled, and the Technic Unimog. See them all here.
Although this series looks like it could be the best yet, I have to say I'm getting a bit 'minifig weary'. It's such a nuisance having to track them all down and worry whether you'll get them all. Just when you've completed one series, another one comes along...
75 comments on this article
These look amazing! Are they still only identified by the raised bumps?
Well if you don't like them, THEN JUST DON'T BUY THEM, it's as simple as that, right?!
I think the Palace guard and perhaps the gladiator are the new Spartans. I really like the guards torso and face print.
I'm looking forward to going through it all again and adding these to my collection. As many Royal Guards as I can find me thinks!
The Dwarf and Gladiator have SO much detail in them! Printed everything!
The Gangsters vilon case is a bit disapointing though....
Wow, this series does look like the best yet! What are they going to call the Jane Goodall fig? "Monkey Researcher". :P
I actually like the hunt. :D
It's not really that hard to get them anymore. Since series three I have seen plenty of collectable minifigs available.
Did anybody notice that the boxer has a double-sided face? Really good deal, IMO.
I really can't get over the decision to make blue the series 5 packet colour. It doesn't make any sense considering purple and red haven't been used yet. I would understand if they'd used all the colours and had to recycle old ones but when 2 perfecly good colours haven't been used it seems very strange.
This series does look like the best yet! Top notch figures!
By the way, would anyone in Germany be willing to ship me over the Hero Factory 3.0 figures? Fully paid of course.
Some of them are good, but a few of them are a big boring compared to the previous series
Brix, I feel your pain. That has been my complaint since series 3... I was expecting primary colors first.
I am still only missing the Hockey Player from Series 4..have everyone else. I think though Series 5 might be my last one, UNLESS series 6 has some really sweet figures in it.
I think they ALL look really great. Thanks for the pictures, Huw! I agree with you that having so many of these coming out with so little time between each release is an issue. TLG has really been upping its ante the past couple years....
^^ Hockey player is easy to feel in the package, feel for the armor and the skate, although you need to actually find the packages. I found a few extra's I decided to buy when looking for hazmat guys.. You also cannot really trust the dots anymore.. I tried while looking for hazmat guys and wound up with three extra football (soccer) players and only one hazmat guy.. you need to feel the packs, which looks crazy when standing in front of a TRU service desk (where my TRU's packs are located) but it is worth it to get the figs you want.
I would say that the figs would get tiresome if they were not out of a while. I have my fill of Series 4 (but series 3 are still around..mostly because they are dogs compared to the other sets IMO) got a few sets and also got a few extra Hazmat guys at a TRU.. The TRU by me has three boxes whereas another TRU by me has none.. The distribution is kinda spotty still... A Walmart had a whole display I ran into when they apparently first got them, but apparently someone went and cleaned them out and they had none when I went back 2 weeks later... Again distribution seems to be bad still. OR people still insist on buying an entire box when they see them.
I think the minifigs would be crazy if the distribution numbers were lower then maybe, but that obviously is not the case (seeing Series 3 and 4 left after 5 has been announced) I think Lego should almost start considering, at 3 dollars per, to ditch the rarity and put little windows in the packs to show what you are getting OR charge extra for a chance for people to buy an entire set off of the bat for those that only want a set.
is anyone else getting sick of 'extreme' sports people in every range (skateboarders/surfers/etc) im guessing its cheaper and easier to reuse the peices, but what use are they?
also the current china/nonchina debate really annoys me, the peices are still LEGO regardless of where they produced, to be honest, im gonna predict that going forward more and more peices in sets (especially the large preformed peices) will be chinese. As a buyer id rather the sets get cheaper.
Minifigs are great, im an AFOL (was 40, yes 40 last week. dont laugh) and i love them, i dodnt have the patience to hunt them down, so on series 1 to 4 have just bought a full box. BUT think i may play along this time.
There are also detailed photos of the entire build of the Unimog, including all the new parts. It looks ace.
^ Yeah I can do without the Skater and snowboarder in every series.... Getting old fast.... I guess they cannot do a bmx'er as the bike would show in the package to well...lol
I am actually waiting for a tourist fig (guy with shorts on a hawaiian shirt and a camera)
I do like the guys in suits motif and at least they wait a few series before putting another clown (which is vastly different than the series 1) into the Series 5 set.. All in all I like the Series 5, it is definitely better than series 3, and maybe better than 4.. ok, as good as anyway.
Although I am surprised the have no doctor yet (I mean one that is not a crazy scientist) a fig in 'scrubs' with a mask on maybe... or even a 'patient'... a guy in a gown, No golfer yet, American Football player, etc.. they have lots of ideas to make still.. maybe they can leave out a snowboarder or skateboarder for once...
I do know I want the 'zilla suit guy and the gangster guy.. The series five have a lot more figs I actually 'want' instead of 'need'.
^^ That unimog looks awesome.. it also looks like it is 1/10th or 1/12th scale I can see why it sounds like the price will be around 200-250 USD for it
am i mistaken or was the gangster supposed to come with the tommy gun and not pistol?
I find it interesting that the latest issue of GameInformer not only has Collectible Minifigure news but they also state that series 5 is supposed to release July 20th. Was this widely known? I thought I kept my ear to the rail on this stuff and it caught me off guard.
@ThisIsMyCup all the pics I've seen are of him with the pistol.
@beefygrefe thats great news if true! I was just wondering yesterday about series 5, and decided to look it up to find any news (found nothing new) then today we get this update on the front page! If its released july that's awesome, I heard it was no till august.
And the boxer with the double sided face is sweet!
I would be much more interested in these if only one series was released per year, a la modular buildings and creator houses. With 32 figures per year at USD $3/each before tax, it's easy to rack up well over $100 just to collect them all. I'd rather spend that money on full-fledged building sets.
@Beefygrefe yeah i saw that too very strange. And these figs look great but i have to catch up because i have 4 missing from series 3 and 9 missing from series 4! But lego should just give up trying to hide what minifigs are in the bag and stop raising prices!!!
I'm still seeing loads of series4 in the suppliers near me. Makes me regret the panic buying at the beginning and the ebay buying. If series5 distribution is the same, it seems they will be plenty of time/opportunity to pick up the ones that I want.
While i will buy the entire set, and dups of dwarf fighter. The set good, but only average. I thought it was a mistake for them to put 2 monsters in ser 4 (wolfman & Frankie) and none in this set.
And as far as hard to get??? ser 3,4,5, production has likely tripled over Series 1. Nice to see the Series 1 gaining some respect on ebay (zombie $15-18). I would like to see them pay homage to some older themes.
I'm still actually not all that impressed with series 5. That being said, I would have purchased this series regardless if it wasn't for two factors.
(1) To me the quality of the mini-figures from series 4 seem inferior compared to series 1 to 3. The hair pieces are difficult to fit onto the MF heads. I did not have this problem with previous series'. The hands are difficult to move. I've had this problem with series 3 too but not series 1 and 2. The mini-figures are very loose. It seems as though they have been heavily played with even though they are brand new. Possibly from everyone feeling the bags in store? I'm not sure. There are other quality control problems. With the series 3 tribal chief MF I got the pilot's head. In series 4, one of the figure skater's came with no skirt.
(2) On top of what I perceive as declining quality the price keeps going up. I bought series 1 and 2 for $2.86 CDN at Wal-Mart. I paid $2.99 CDN for series 3 while I shelled out $3.26 CDN for series 4 (all at Wal-Mart). The Wal-Mart prices are good deals since everywhere else sells them for more but with series 4 not meeting my quality expectations it's hard to stomach price increases.
On top of that the MF are coming out way too fast. Three sets, maybe four in one year is a bit too much for me. I might give a future series of collectible MF a shot but for the near future I won't be buying them.
At first, I wasn't thrilled with the selection for Series 5, but every time a new set of high-quality images appear, my interest grows. Originally, I thought this series would be like Series 1 where I only bought half at most with only a few duplicates. Now, I plan to track down the majority, though it won't be like Series 3 and 4 where I collected all of them.
As for quality, my perception may be wrong, but I feel that the minifigures I've acquires have increased in quality with each series. 1 and 2 had loose legs, and the printing on legs seemed the worst on those figures as well. Series 3 and 4 no longer had loose legs and all printing appeared better placed on the various pieces. Although I have heard of plenty of instances of minifigures missing parts, I have never encountered this issue myself nor have I ever opened a pack to find broken parts (a fear I initially had when I heard the figures were manufactured in China with inferior plastic).
I really want the small clown (bowler cap!).
@brix-I agree with you. Purple and red are great colours, right?
@: voypro : no monsters but there is an ax man! You can have the ax man chase the werewolf and Frankenstein around!!
People keep complaining about the gangster's violin case. Wouldn't it be possible for a gangster to store his tommygun inside the case rather than a violin? That was my first thought when I saw this figure a LONG time ago! Makes sense to me!
Am I the only one who thinks that the "violin case" is actualy a guitar case? That would be onr BIG violin. Then again, It'd be one small guitar.
I like the figures, but I agree the whole process is tiresome.
The worst part is the hunt. If you had barcodes on the figures, fine. But increasing the random-chance aspects of it (because, let's be honest, the bumps aren't exactly 100%. I've gotten close, but there's always one or two that don't quite match up, and then you have to hunt) -- it's annoying. It's a transparent cash-grab, and it does bother me.
I went on Brickapedia and the Release Date for Series 5 says August 2011, but Since Series 4 came so fast after Series 3 Im figuring It will come sooner, does anybody have info on this or an actual release date for these, like when LEGO actually ships them out to the stores, I mean how did they get here?
First off, i just want to say I love these figs!! Second, (not talking to anyone in particular and not meaning to be offensive), but c'mon! Stop saying that this will be your last series because we all know that when series 6,7,8,etc. come out and there are awesome figs, you are going to be eating your words. (Once again, that was not meant for anyone in particular and I did not mean to be offensive at all.)
@Zordboy: I understand what you mean, feeling up packages looks a bizarre to store employees that watch you so that can be difficult, but the bumps are not there for the benefit of the buyers. No Offense, but the last time I checked Lego was in the process of making money, so yes it is a blatant cash grab....
Not to mention the whole idea of them being meant as a 'mystery' pack, not a 'Hey see what is in the' pack. Especially since all the bar codes did was allow hordes of resellers to go buy ONLY the Spartans and cause people without the codes, or even with the codes, the inability to get a complete set.( Yes, I am sure a few 'hobbyists' were in it to get a Spartan Army, but I also saw WAY too many people trying to sell 10-20 Spartans on eBay)
That being said, people obviously keep buying them. Until this stops then Lego can do what they want.
I would say, and many others have said on this board, what Lego should do is basically charge a bit more for the chance to buy a complete set. This should stop the hordes of resellers which still manage to go to some stores to buy boxes so sell for a wild eBay profit of like 50 cents per package (when you factor in all of eBay fees)
OR basically ditch the whole rarity and have them all 'common' and have a transparent window in the package to see the fig to be bought.
@beefygrefe: I have read that Game informer article too. It was article #20 on the page. It did not specify a release date. It just said that series 5 would be released this month.
@spency13 LOL you're so right...
I disagree with people saying you look weird feeling up the bags, (well you kinda do) but my I was at a TRU with a non AFOL friend and he was waiting for me to feel up the bags. In an attempt to embarrass me he asked the employee if a lot of people do what I was doing, and the employee said "actually yea, most people do" and at another TRU I mentioned to the employee that I think the CMF are more popular amongst adults, and she agreed, she said mainly adults buy them, and rarely do kids come by to get them. Basically after that I didn't feel so bad feeling up the bags, because as it turns out the minority of people DONT feel the bags.
Ok, I retract my earlier statement. It does say in the Game Informer mag that the release date of series 5 is July 20th. Although there is no mention of them on the July Lego store calendar.
Last week I came across a fresh box of series two figures next to three boxes of series four figures at a local store. Must have found them hiding under something out the back.
Oh one more thing just to comment on something I just read further up the board, it may be different in NZ but resellers are charging up to $18.00 for some of the rarer figures, they cost $5.00 new in stores but people are buying them for alot more. I sell my double ups for between $6.00 and $10.00 depending on the rarity as I see it. People will pay a bit more to get what they need and avoid "the hunt".
I want the Gorn (lizard guy). There's a great Star Trek themed MOC waiting for that figure.
@starfire2 - quote "... the release date of series 5 is July 20th". We'd heard that the 'official' date was around the middle of July (but the exact date will probably vary from country-to-country); for all the previous releases, they've actually started appearing ~month before that, so we'd expect to see them pop up somewhere very soon indeed ...
I find the dot patterns don't work. My advice would be not to bother with the dots. Feeling the bags works much more well. Every time I've felt the bag and thought a particular mini-figure was inside, I'd end up getting that specific mini-figure I thought I was getting. The "feel the bag" method only failed me once whereas the dot method fails me half the time.
I love the boxer even more now, with that alternate bruised face, I even kinda feel sorry for him!
@the_real_indy: Huw has to keep up with the minifig galleries.
I think the lumberjack is Canadian, eh.
I wish, LEGO will do minfigs series wherein there will be more Female than male or a Female to Male reverse ratio. That would be different.
Are there any pictures of the guitar/violin case open?
There's only a few out of Series 5 that I want then compared to Series 4 or 3 where I was able to finally pick up multiples from a local store.
ANOTHER snowboarder? Besides the snowboarder and the gymnastics teacher (who looks JUST like the singer in series 2) series 5 looks awesome! I think the gladiator and the boxer will be the most wanted and rare.
The gladiator helmet looks amazing, somehow I thought the grill at the front was actually printed on the face from previous images. It should be easy to find gladiators by the feel-method because the helmet looks huge. :)
Some fantastic minifigs in this series!
I love being an adult and complaining about lego toys... I'm not too crazy about another snowboarder. The aerobics instructor, while a good idea, for some reason doesn't interest me. They should have at least done the pop singer hair in a different color. Also not too crazy about the zoo-keeper or her unposable monkey. If they didn't want to throw in one of the superior existing monkeys, they should have given her a different smaller animal or two instead of a monkey and a banana. A hawk would have been great and very useful.
I like the rest, however, I wish the mobster had a tommy gun and the lumberjack had a beard.
I still can't wait to get all of these and I hope to see collectable minifig releases continue for a long time. There are still hundreds of good ideas out there that haven't been done yet.
Huw has a point, I haven't even started on S4!
@Huw, maybe you can incorperate some system to automaticly add the EB reviews...Until then.

Yes, but the Official Lego Website puts out excellent animated images of all of these figs... So is it really necessary for HUW to photograph them all? If he wants photos of the real plastic figs, then he can always just arrange to take photographs of someone else's figs at a regional convention or something!
The bigger question is "Why would you buy a LEGO set (or even just a minifig) you do not like?"
Woo. And I saw series 3 and 4 figs still available this weekend... Can't wait to get these as well.
@mo123567 - I personally like the unposable monkey and think that it will be better for smaller MOCs than the posable ones. It is nice to have a variety.
I like the british guard, and after seeing the Canadian Mountie on Brickarms I think they should make one for the next series, I think it would be cool, and maybe an FBI agent or CSI agent.
Yes, it's tiring, but that's all part of the thrill. Of course, one could easily just get it done and dealt with by paying extra to get them all off ebay or bricklink. I was one of those desperately hunting when it all started, as back then they were actually limited in production, but then TLG started releasing more of the series at an even more faster pace and upped their production, so the market now is literally saturated with these guys, so I'm not too worried and have taken a more laid back approach now. But those days sure was crazy when I was literally hopping toystores to toystores in a matter of minutes!
@QL "maybe you can incorperate some system to automaticly add the EB reviews...".
Automatically adding them isn't possible but many of the EB Reviewers' Academy teachers have special access to Brickset to enable them to add them. I suspect these two will be added shortly.
Is Series 5 the last series, or are there going to be more?
@Be-Burger: there was an article in brickjournal saying that they had finished series 6 when series 3 came out and they were able to confirm that they will go, at least, through series 8 now. Can't remember what issue of BJ it was though...maybe 14?
@the_real_indy: He said he doesn't like the hunt, not the figs.
I think one series per year would have been enough, don't ya think?
@ sinfanti - Gorn, That is a stretch, but I love it. If we are reaching for Star Trek minifigs for modding than you have the Sherlock Holmes Data. Zarabeth from ST TOS "All of our Yesterdays" in two costumes no less cave girl and Eskimo. A Gangster from the ST TOS "Piece of the Action"...and Chekota from that boxing Voyager Episode. Ahh! the Geek mind, truly a fertile field.
@ Dash Justice - I dont think so, 1 Series per year seems way to long, I already bought All of Series 4 and cant wait for 5, im always checking for release dates and always checking at my store, I'm mad there not releasing them sooner because I want them so bad, keep em coming! and bring on a MOUNTIE PLEASE!
A lot of these seem quite bulky (gladiator helmet, eskimo hood, egyptian dress & hair, dinosaur suit, guards bearskin hat, cavegirl club & hair, dwarf helmet & beard, gangsters violin case, boxers helmet & gloves) HOPEfully making them easier to identify when feeling the packs. Either that or its going to cause a lot of confusion :P
Like the lumberjacks arm printing and his Axe. There are a few that I am not overly keen on, but will likely get 2 of each anyway, one to collect and one of each for my son to play with.
@Thomson & Thompson: Is your want of the bowler hat a reference to your username?
Definitely the series with the most "must have" figures!
@beefygrefe- Series 8? Wow. I wonder when that will come out.
@LEGOlas1-No, but good point. Now I will have to make Thomson & Thompson minifigs!
@JDLego-a Mountie would be cool.
@Thompson & Thompson-http://www.brickrepublic.com/servlet/the-730/Brick-Republic-Custom-Minifigure/Detail
Here is a Link to BrickRepublic which is a Reseller for Brickarms, they sell most of the stuff that Brickarms has on there website, including collectable Minifigures and Lego. This is the Picture of the Mountie I was talking about, so I hope Lego includes a Remake of this in future Collectable Minfigure Series.
I must admit, the novelty of Collectable Minifigures has worn off. I'd rather save up for something better.

The same love for pizza and beer that fueled three college students in 1974 transformed their lives as they expanded their business from one rundown building in Atlanta to about 150 Mellow Mushroom restaurants across 15 states today. Each eatery owes its individual style to each location being locally owned and operated, much like impressionist painters owed their individual style to their number of ears. In the kitchens, chefs assemble grilled and deli-style hoagies and bake calzones and pizzas in stone hearths using dough made with natural spring water. Though many of the restaurant's dishes have remained on the menu since its inception, the culinary crew frequently devises new, often gluten-free, dishes to keep senior-ranking pepperonis from becoming too powerful. Servers pair dishes with their location's own set of local brews, which fit into a collection of up to 50 microbrewed beers on tap and in bottles. Brewers such as Bell's, Abita, and Dogfish Head are also featured in regular beer events.
Chef and owner Gary Tolla selects dishes from a large rolodex of family Italian recipes to fill out the menu at Tolla's Italian Restaurant. Veal and chicken receive the parmigiana, marsala, and piccata treatments, and raviolis are stuffed with cheese to create little pillowy pockets almost identical to actual dollhouse pillows. A selection of wine helps wash down hot and cold subs or pizzas concocted from shareable 12-inch disks or personal 10-inch crusts. On Friday and Saturday evenings, live entertainment—from bands to a Rat Pack balloon artist—entertains patrons inside the eatery.
Voted best pizza in town by the Orlando Sentinel for seven years in a row, Pizzeria Valdiano unleashes a welcome avalanche of dough, cheese, tomato paste, and freestyle-snowboarding cherry peppers upon the burgundy-boothed slopes of the restaurant's interior. The pie-centric menu democratically offers a motorcade of non-pie starters such as fried mozzarella ($4.95) and garlic-bread parmigiana ($3.75) to take down those who lack the drive to take a piece of the cheesy disc. Try an artichoke-hearty pizza Fiorentina ($9.50 for 10", $16.95 for 16"), a peppery pizza piccante ($9.50/$16.95), or a pizza stella ($10.95/$17.95) with melted mozzarella, eggplant, and feta cheese.

I realize it has been like 6 days since I posted a recipe, and for that I am sorry. I have had a few hectic weeks, and even though I would love to sit here, edit, and type recipes for you everyday, I have recently discovered there really are only 24 hours in a day. I was hoping I could redefine logic and get at least an extension to 30, but so far all that has done is lead to sleepless nights and a slight sickness. Thanks to my amazing friend Michelle from Nom Nom Paleo, I was able to whip up a batch of Super Human Healing Bone Broth (this is not an accurate claim, just my description, don't sue me) while I recorded a Mastermind call titled "Unstoppable Health for Men with Big Dreams" <—–Click to listen. My buddies Joe & Lucas put together an awesome call to truly help lots of people struggling and I am excited to see what they manage to do to make a difference in this world. You can check out their awesome program: 30-Day Man UP! High level coaching program for men.
So I got an awesome email this week, and it is about something I have already done in the past and it is an amazing idea. It is called Paleo Pen Pals. So two amazing women, Brittanie and Tarah decided to put an amazing idea to action and I whole heartedly support it. They did two introductory posts to get the ball rolling which you can find HERE and HERE. It's not really about writing, it is more about exchanging food and cooking it. Who doesn't want food sent to them to try something new? I mean I have been half tempted to give my address out, but then that kind of scares me just in the off chance I angered one of you, EEEK! Back on point, you should at least check out their sites and give it a thought, I would love to hear or see some of your creations posted on my Facebook Page.
If you are still reading into the third paragraph, thank you. I should not be typing right now, I would never drink and drive so I shouldn't be drinking and blogging. But who knows, it could get really fun in here!!! Not really, I am a total light weight, I had a glass of wine with my dinner before resuming some website work and I am totally ready for bed now. I know you have never heard me mention how HAPPY I am that it is fall right now, HINT HINT!! But seriously, it makes my heart so happy to be able to wear a hoodie from the moment I roll out of bed until I curl right back into it, that's all. The simple things in life.
Oh yeah, one more thing. I have to apologize for the plethora of pictures because I could not decide which one I liked better. There were actually three more too, but I figured 7 photos in one post would be a little excessive, thoughts? Well, I know you really don't care as long as you get the recipe, but if you are so inclined please tell me which photo you like better. Oh and I almost forgot, if you haven't seen my book yet, check it out HERE.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card is adorable and perfect for thank-yous for my fiance's and my wedding shower/cocktail party. My only problem with the product, I didn't bother to check on dimensions and I thought it'd be larger (more like a postcard)."
"It was so easy to order everything we needed for our invitations. We are trying to keep things simple since this is not our rodeo, and Wedding Paper Divas made the entire process EASY."
"The card turned out beautiful! I changed a save the date card into my retirement invitation and it turned out so beautiful! The watercolour I chose was green and gray in colour and was just what I wanted!! I used greengrass font with green and black printing,some of it was bolded for added detail. The background on the back was full of the watercoloured images. The card was on the shimmery paper and I really liked that also.! I have shown it to a few people and they all think it is stunning!!! I can't wait to send them out!!! I like the product so much I went back on and ordered Thank You cards."
"All of my friends were impressed with the beauty and quality of this invitation. Comments included," I've never seen such a beautiful invitation." Another comment was. "The quality of the invitation is exceptional!" I am very impressed with Wedding Paper Divas and am planning to order the Thank You cards as well. The quality of this product far surpassed the quality of invitation stores. Thank you for helping to make my daughter's Bridal Shower classy and unique."
"We didn't buy our other wedding stationery from here, but when looking for nice Thank You cards, we wanted something specific - purple & butterflies. Wedding Paper Divas had just the card. This card was well-represented online and exceeded our expectations in person. The cardstock feels very high quality, and there was no fading or blank spots in the printing, which added to the high quality feel. The blank space inside the card allowed plenty of room for personal notes, and our guests were impressed with the look and feel of the notes."

Teacher Thugs Cause $7.5 Million in Damage to Wisc. Capitol Bldg
Not only are they ripping off Wisconsin's taxpayers through their lavish salaries, pensions, and benefits, now government employees and their supporters are causing even more expenses born by Wisconsin's working poor and middle classes because they have caused $7.5 million in damages with their protests at the Wisconsin State capitol building in Madison.
According to reporting by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the damages to the capitol and its grounds have been estimated at $7.5 million.
Cari Anne Renlund, chief legal counsel for the state Department of Administration, said in Dane County court that estimates of damage to marble includes $6 million to repair damaged marble inside the Capitol, $1 million for damage outside and $500,000 for costs to supervise the damage.
I don't know about you but I think that the State of Wisconsin should send the repair bill to the Wisconsin Teachers unions as well as the National Education Association.

After 20 years of strict red drum management rules, recreational anglers along Florida's northern coast will soon reap the reward.
In November 2011, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission amended the rule for red drum by increasing the bag limit in northern parts of Florida from Escambia through Pasco Counties and Nassau through Flagler Counties, a move that will increase fishing opportunities for recreational anglers in Florida.
Harvesters in the northern counties listed can harvest two red drum per day starting February 1, 2012. Before the rule change, recreational harvesters could only take one fish. In southern Florida counties, the bag limit remains at one red drum.
The bag limit was increased for the northern parts of Florida because the red drum population in these areas is healthy and thriving. As a popular species to catch and eat, the red drum stocks are monitored regularly by scientists at the Commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg. The red drum population in Florida has been increasing since the early 1990s, when strict regulations were established in an effort to reverse its declining population.
Fishermen in Florida can be proud of the red drum fishery. The bag limit increase will allow anglers to enjoy the fish that was managed for 20 years to grow to what it is today.

We dont know if itll keep the name Dodge Caliber, but our car spy can tell that itll be a mean performance machine. By Jim Dunne Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 4 At the top rear, it appears that a bolster hides the true shape of the trunk lid. But there is no hiding the robust appearance there. We brought you photos of earlier Dodge prototypes that proved the cars Alfa heritage. The rough mules Dodge used for development were little more than Giuliettas with widened and lengthened body panels. Note the spacers that run from front to rear along the hood, roof, and trunk. Doorposts at the side are widened too, lengthening the car. (You might be asking: Why do we think this model, so completely covered in camo, is a Dodge and not a Chrysler of the future? One strong clue is the color of the body paint. Look closely at the photos and youll see a glimpse of red on the roof and along the frames. Red is the color for Dodge development cars. Chryslers models are invariably white underneath their camo.) The wheels are set out as wide as the limits of the fenders, giving the car a more substantial appearance and excellent stance, especially when viewed from the rear.
