Answer #1John Lamb from Lamb's Automotive, Inc., February 16, 2011, 18:32Technician
Your vehicle is probably in "limp in mode", due to the error in the throttle position sensor area. The rpm is limited so that the computer will not make a mistake based on poor input from this sensor. It should be checked by a professional to determine what is wrong in the throttle position circuit.

A Major reason why WoW is still King of the Hill
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Generally speaking, I agree with everything the OP says. However, the time investment isn't everything...
I've played Eve Online since 2004 and I've probably spent about £2,000 on the franchise - if you include Eve Online subscriptions, fanfest expenses, and payments for DUST. Nevertheless, I have recently unsubscribed from Eve Online because CCP have walked away from their original vision for Eve Online and there are other upcoming games that will fill that demand much better.
So I think WoW has been fortunate in that they have not had any serious competition up until now. I predict that Oculus Rift could change all that with time, but we'll have to wait until publishing houses have the courage to try something new!

From what I have seen, Call of Duty is far less repetitive than Destiny - especially the classic WW2 version that simulated the D-Day landings, the advance of the Desert Rats, and the defense of Leningrad.
Over-hype is a bad habit and it needs to be called out in order to raise the standard.

This is GameSpot's take on the alpha of Destiny.
I think it's a far more realistic opinion compared to MMORPG.com's, which surprised me.
The crucial thing is that the reviewers only played a limited amount of it, and yet they were conscious that it felt repetitive.

Thank you for replying. I don't agree with you.
The "...games that people actually care to read about" are mostly decided by large advertising budgets. For example, it's well known that many promotional videos at E3 should be taken with a large pinch of salt.
As soon MMORPG.com writers write about a game that appears to be exciting, people click on that game on MMORPG.com and omit clicking on the other games (e.g. it takes 1 click to click on Star Citizen, which is on the front page, but you have to find Elite: Dangerous using an index of hundreds of games - this is an enormous difference).
This creates a vicious cycle of hype. Even when the game turns out to be rubbish, so many people have already clicked on the game (and it's generated so many articles) that the hype continues!
The perfect example of this is SWTOR.
I think the gaming industry believes most gamers are either very young or stupid. For example, Destiny looks like an FPS with little more depth than Halo, and nobody ever asks David Braben about procedural generation, which is cutting edge - it's where games meets science, maths, and art (there is a 15 minute science lecture at the Royal Albert Hall on YouTube, and that's it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEVutbSqBI0).

I disagree with you. The games that get promoted on this website (and get the high scores) have large advertising budgets (see the contrast between Star Citizen (big advertising budget) and Elite: Dangerous (small advertising budget)).
To think otherwise is rather naive.
There are not really any other MMORPG websites of note.

I'm surprised that Elite: Dangerous didn't get a mention.
Elite: Dangerous takes place in a universe with reasonable depth (other careers apart from killing), whereas Destiny, for example, is only about Halo-style shooting.

The problem with CCP commissioning stuff like this is that these stories will never have anything to do with the actual gameplay - CCP's marketing model is too inflexible.
In contrast, if these books were about the Elite: Dangerous universe, you couldn't rule out the content of the novels entering future ED gameplay, because the ED 'platform' has far greater flexibility.

This is one of the reasons why I unsubscribed my 2 Eve Online accounts and invested into Elite: Dangerous instead.
CCP talk about themselves, whereas David Braben talks about where his game is going and why.
It's like the difference between outstanding spin and outstanding substance.
E3 demo - next beta build
General Discussion « Elite: Dangerous
I'm surprised that Elite: Dangerous hasn't got more news coverage because it's a game of substance. Most things at E3 are nothing more than flashy trailers that have nothing to do with the real future gameplay. Elite: Dangerous stands out because I don't think you can put it into this category.
The theoretical weakness of Elite: Dangerous is that it's procedurally generated. Generally speaking, games that involve procedural generation become bland and boring after a short while. Journalists should have asked David Braben about this weakness and how he is intending to overcome it. David Braben is a very clever man and his answer would have been very interesting.

Effectively what this does is prevent griefing for players who don't want to be griefed.
David Braben, the main creator of Elite: Dangerous, wants to encourage players to help each other rather than gank each other.
Elite: Dangerous shouldn't resemble the dystopian universe that is Eve, but I see this as a good thing. I would prefer to play something uplifting, rather than play a game that might result in anger.
MMO with highly developed space and ground gameplay?

You're parroting out false definitions of what an MMO is without really thinking about it.
I reckon these false definitions of what an MMO is come from CCP because they are the company who stand to gain something. It could be anti-Elite propaganda.
Not as interested as I once was...

The game I'm really really looking forward to is Elite: Dangerous when it comes out. It's worth looking into even if it's just to rule it out.

The definition of an MMO is looser than you think. ED certainly is an MMO and the developers have said this. In addition, you are misinterpreting ED's crowd control system. I would argue that it is a big advantage for the following reasons:
1) Having a limit of 32 players showing up means that the graphics will be better than most other MMOs.
2) Having a limit of 32 players will make an insignificant difference - the universe is so large that most people will be spaced out.
3) Having griefers in their own 'instance' means that people who enjoy PvP all the time can immerse themselves in it, but people who don't like being griefed are much less likely to be griefed. They are more likely to encounter players who enjoy helping others.
4) With a limit of 32 players, your contribution will be more meaningful in combat. For example, in Eve the side that wins is the one that manages to have the most number of people pressing 'F1'. ED's combat will be far more interesting.

What I mean to say is that in the relatively few 'core' systems, ED will feel like an MMO because there will be people there. However, as you move further away from the core areas you will meet fewer and fewer people.
If you live on the edge of the universe, you might only ever come across NPCs. That's all I mean - there is no need to over-think this.

The CEO of Frontier Developments, the company that are making ED is a genius and a living legend. He's created the engine that will make it all work from scratch. He's called David Braben. (It's worth seeing his interviews and lectures on YouTube - he's very interesting.)
It will be an MMO with a few subtle modifications in the small print. For example, the ED universe will have 400 billion star systems, but there are only 7 billion people on planet earth, so in most parts of the universe it won't feel like an MMO because you might be on your own! And the first person there ever!

But the page still forces IE to compatibility mode. The issue is that we only support IE 8 and up so when we perform our server side check, it thinks the browser is IE 7 and tells the user to upgrade their browser.
Anyone know why a given browser would completely ignore the X-UA-Compatible tag and render the page in compatibility mode?

Got told I'm a "hard-ass" parent?
Started by MummyHayles , Apr 13 2012 06:33 PM

Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:33 PM
Recently a close family member said to me I was too hard on my 5 year old DD. I was completely shocked! Her examples are -
I make her sit with the family at the table at meal times and she doesn't leave the table until she has eaten enough vegies - I don't serve her huge plates. She also has to ask to leave.
I make sure she uses her manners, and don't allow her to interrupt when people are talking. She has learnt to wait patiently, and is given our attention if she does so.
She has a set bedtime
She isn't allowed soft drink and sometimes gets juice, but only at dinner time.
DD is made to pick up toys and clothes she leaves on the floor, she sets the table at night and has just started learning to make her bed.
Her time playing things like iphones/dsi's/wii's is limited (her children including the 5 year old all have ipod touches which DD will NOT be getting anytime in the near future)
Oh and the last was a cracker - I won't let her go to the Lady Gaga concert this year, DH & I think there is plenty of time for that kind of thing when she's an adult - her middle child, 7 at the time - went to two years ago.
Now, every example is completely contradicted by the other persons style of parenting - though I have never judged or commented to her, its not my business what she does. Her kids eat and drink whatever - wherever, if they eat at all, stay up as late as they want, answer back, interrupt all the time and I've never heard the younger two use manners unless they are taking something from me because I don't hand it over without a thank you. btw her kids are 14, 9 and 5.
I was pretty insulted. DD is a well rounded little girl, she is polite, kind and gentle - and healthy. Rarely do we have problems with tantrums and she is well behaved a majority of the time.
Tell me - am I too "hard"? I considered what I was doing was teaching her to be polite and learn valuable lessons, but perhaps I'm wrong.

Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:37 PM
I think that you're just stricter than the other mum.
Also - your 5yo is your eldest, her 5yo is the youngest - with a 14 yo sibling. Makes a huge difference (especially to things like drinking soft drink etc).
Don't lose any sleep over it.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:37 PM
Prefaced with *I am not yet a parent* but
If I could instil half of those traits into my future child I would be a happy mum.
I have worked with children for 15 years and everything that you want your DD to be is positive IMO.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:37 PM
Your friend sound slack.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:39 PM
My daughter's 2 next week and you sound like you're doing what we will be.
She's been taking the cat's dinner over to her for the last few months pretty much every night since she could walk.
She'll be helping out around the house when she's old enough. Same as I did as a child. I refuse to raise a rude kid who can't boil an egg when she leaves home!
And I HATE kids who interrupt adults constantly! Yes, I know they say "excuse me" but its still pretty rude. Adults wait their turn, kids can learn to as well!
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:39 PM
I'm the same parent as you by the sounds of it! People say I am tough on my DD but I'd rather have a polite, respectful child.
I'd keep doing as you are.

At least your daughter isn't going to turn around and bite you on your (hard) ass! I think your style of parenting will hold your child in good stead as she grows up into an adult - letting kids get away with murder is really doing them a disservice when it comes to preparing them for a functional, happy adulthood.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:41 PM
who cares?
Instill your values in your child, and let her instill her values in her child.
IMO, I think what you are doing is great.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:42 PM
I'm super tough by her "ahem" standards too.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:43 PM
Sounds good to me.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:43 PM
sounds like all the rules in our house for our DS who is also 5, same rules applied to DD who is 19 ( with the exception that I have given up trying to get her to keep her room clean) - although she has repeatedly told me that I am too harsh - she does atleast have very good manners

Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:45 PM
Well is your child happy, and does she feel that she's able to express herself? Do YOU think there is any reason to worry? If not, why care what she thinks?
My mother was like you and I grew up just fine. Although I occasionally resented the strictness (aka 'my friends are allowed to do this, why can't I???).
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:46 PM
you sound sensible to me. I won't say normal, because it seems teaching manners and setting boundaries is no longer normal...
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:46 PM
Take it as a compliment???

I've long had the problem at family gatherings hearing from DD "But she doesn't have to do." I've always kind of replied, well her mum said she didn't have to but you still do. - This in regards to eating lunch. Last time we were there it was a bbq - DD had salad, meat etc - her cousin had a piece of bread with nothing on it, ate half of it and ran off.....that was it. DD was left on her own eating where as I would have dragged her back and made her eat something decent. She finished the day off throwing glasses of water all over their lounge room (carpeted) floor. Her mum walked in, looked for a second and just walked back out. Not in my house!
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:47 PM
Your friend sounds like my SIL. It is just different styles of parenting.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:48 PM
How did you respond to that?
You sound exactly like me in everything except DD9 lives for her ipod and I was thinking of a concert ticket as chrissy present this year. Not that any part of it is finally I can go and see someone I like that OH refuses to go with me to as its too pop.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:50 PM
I was reading it thinking ,yes, mmm, uh uh... Oh crap I am hardarse too.
I think some of those things come under manners and respect. but you do your thing, let her do hers.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:52 PM
I wouldn't judge your parenting - or hers. Every family is different. It sounds a bit like you are both equally judging each other though!

I agree with what you every child should be taught manners, but I do think setting the table at five is a bit early in my opinion.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:54 PM
Yep OP I too am often called a hard ass parent. Usually by someone with feral kids.
I just grin and delight in the fact that my child is often welcome where others are not
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:54 PM
You're doing a great job. She's slack.
DH & I hope to raise my DS (and any other children we have) like you are raising your girls. Hard a*se all the way!
FTR I think we'll be the strictest out of both our families.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:57 PM
Nope you sound like me except mine is 8yrs old and has to also wipe dishes and feed the dogs.

Wind flies-----again!!!!
OMG-O-S-H! Bionicle is back!!!!! I've always been a huge fan and was very sad when it was discontinued. This is my favorite Bionicle model of the January 2015 release.
The new box style is very interesting because Lego used a different company for their boxes called "G Box." The new style box is cool because of its angular edges. The instructions are the same style as any other Lego set.
My favorite part overall is Lewa's golden mask. There are some other nice parts such as his X Glider pieces and the Skull Spider's legs.
The only "minifig" is the blue Skull spider in this set. It is the same build as all other Skull spiders. The only difference is that this one is blue to represent that it is the jungle element for the Skull spiders. Yes, blue=jungle for spiders, green=jungle for Toa.
The build
Unlike any of the other Bionicle sets, Lewa has a unique gear system. It was a very quick build. The way you put the masks on for the new Bionicles is completely different than any other headpiece style in old Bionicles or Hero Factory.
The completed model
Like I said before, this is my favorite Bionicle in the new release. The only thing I don't like is that the ball joints show in the skeleton underneath the chest plate. I think they could have put 2 armor plates on to make it look more complete on all the new Toa models. There are 2 spikes on Lewa that "kind of" cover it, but you can still see them. I do like the way you can take his X Glider off and make 2 axes out of it.
Overall opinion
This is a great set for any new or old Bionicle fan.
5 out of 6 people thought this review was helpful.
Skull Spidertastic!
OMG-O-S-H! Bionicle is back!!!!! I've always been a huge fan and was very sad when it was discontinued. Lord of Skull Spiders is awesome. I never expected there would be a villain that wasn't Makuta!
The new box style is very interesting because Lego used a different company for their boxes called "G Box." The new style box is cool because of its angular edges. The instructions are the same style as any other Lego set. One picture with a side view showing the yellow gears is a little frustrating because it will NOT line up the way it says it's supposed to.
Almost every single part on here has already been made, it's just a new color. One of the only new pieces is the golden mask of the Skull Spiders.?
The build
It was mostly a Technic-style build with good instructions except where noted above. It was a very quick build.
The completed model
Once completed, it's a very nice model. I like the feature where you press on the back and his legs try to trap another figure.
Overall opinion
This is not my absolute favorite Bionicle model, but still a very great one!
2 out of 2 people thought this review was helpful.
More chibi than chibi.
Among the most chibi of the microfighters line, still a great interpretation of a classic ship.
These boxes aren't foldable for storage. Too bad. The instructions are instructions.
As noted by CaptianRex in his review, now that the 2014 Advent Calendar is out astromech head becomes an amazing piece since it matches the Christmas tree droid perfectly. Past that, the pink studs are nice and the four white studs with holes are increasingly useful.
Like other reviewers mentioned, Lego keeps improving on the rebel pilots. Five stars.
The build
As small as the set is building the wings four times is repetitive. You get an x-wing out of it though, so can't complain.
The completed model
The pilot bumps his head against the droid a bit. Otherwise, a clean, fun set with moving parts and loads of playability (even without flick fires, which would ruin the look I feel).
Overall opinion
Second best set for Series 1, barely behind the Millennium Falcon. Get one.
0 out of 0 people thought this review was helpful.
Best Microfighter of Series 2
Full disclosure, the microfighters line is my favorite in the Lego Star Wars universe right now (excepting Ewok Village, of course). Part of this is because I have a four-year-old and these are perfect for that age to play with since rebuilds aren't a major headache. Past that, I appreciate the accessibility of $10 a pop for some iconic SW vehicles.
It's a box, follow the instructions.
Giving this a five based on the printed roof tile in the front. Ratchet pieces are always good and the back grill/exhaust are not very common. This set hits the 10 cent/piece mark nicely, though for the size a $7.99 price tag would be nice.
I believe this minifig is exclusive to this set (minifig is currently not updated on Brickset), so bonus for that. Even if it's not, the grey helmet with red rebel log is great, the torso/leg printing is appropriate, and the white gloves make it Hoth-centric.
The build
The best of the microfighters line are some of my favorite builds for what the designers come up within the ~100 piece limit. This build is fairly elegant with angled slopes and the robust cannons.
The completed model
Chibi (cute-ish miniaturization) is great in limited doses and I think the microfighters line is perfect application for it. This build captures the look of the ship as well as 75049, given what it is. Flick missiles are neatly hidden under the wings increasing playability while keeping the model clean. Great snowspeederfor a kid (or adult) to swoosh around the house.
Overall opinion
Love it. Paired with the AT-AT 75075, it's the best of Series 2 (Series 1 honors go to Millenium Falcon, 75030).
4 out of 4 people thought this review was helpful.
Double-Decker Couch - it's all about the minifigures
Is the double-decker couch the same build as the couch found in MetalBeard's Sea Cow? Yes. Has the car in this set appeared a few times before? Yes. Should you still buy multiples of this set, ABSOLUTELY!
At the price this set is being sold at, everyone who loves the Lego Movie can now have nearly every main minifigure (Yarr, where be m' Wyldstyle in this here set?) at an affordable price. Also, the slight variations in the faces of the minfigures will enhance the abilities of any stop motion videographers. Also, those worried about the aftermarket price of Benny the Spaceman being destroyed by an asteroid can relax, for this is not the exact same Benny.
Box = Small and easily portable.
Instructions = 36 pages: 31 pages of instruction, 4 pages of advertisement, 1 page for parts list.
Before a closer conversation about the minifigures, here are some of the highlights about the parts in general. This set contains 209 total parts. 197 pieces for the build, with 11 extra pieces (2 of which are Uni-Kitty's alternate face and 1 of which is an extra light-blue unicorn horn). Those who build MetalBeard's Sea Cow will already know that most of the parts for the double-decker couch are small and found in multiples of 1-4 of each piece. The main exceptions to this piece count are:
A) 20 X Part 4581225 (Bricklink #63868) Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Clip Horizontal on End in dark blue gray. Outside of MetalBeard's Sea Cow, this piece has only been offered at a higher piece-count, in dark blue gray, once before. That time it was offered in 2013's USC Red Five X-wing Starfighter - UCS (set number10240).
B) 12 X Part 4528357 (Bricklink #3068B) Medium Blue Tile 2 x 2 with Groove in medium blue. 25 sets have offered this piece in medium blue before, yet most of those sets are high dollar sets, out of many people's price range, such as the Grand Emporium, the Simpson's House, and the Heartlake Shopping Mall. Honestly, the inclusion of this part (and the next one listed) in larger quantities should make many MOCers very happy!
C) 20 X Part 4168345 (Bricklink #3069B) Tile 1 x 2 with Groove in medium blue. Ok, this piece has shown up in this color 46 times before, but this is only the 6th time that this piece arrives in medium blue, in a set, at a count of more than 10. For anyone attempting to piece together some classic sets from recent years, you'll only need to buy two of the double-decker couch to fulfill the medium blue 1x2 tile count required for the Green Grocer or the Taj Mahal.
The Centerpiece of this set! Lets be honest, the five minifigures ARE the reason this set will sell, and it should be. Now, if Lego had just placed the same minifigures in this set, without any variations to them, the Bricklink market would crash, the resellers would riot, and way too many $100+ sets would end up locked away in closets for years to come. Though some of us might cheer such events on, really great variations within these minifgures are found in this set.
With that said, what are the slight variations within these minifigures?
Benny the 1980's Space Man = Benny's smile is reversed! If you want to recreate the stop-motion scene in the movie when Benny finally gets to build a Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship, you can. In this version, Benny's eyes are also squinting, whereas they are open in the first Benny offering.
The original Benny and this Benny both have a head with a second printing. On the original Benny, the reverse face had two eyes and a smile. On this version's reverse expression, eyebrows are added, and the eyes are only 5/6th complete, with a small portion missing at the bottom of the eyes. This slight change to the classic smiling face gives off a sense that Benny could be sincerely blushing.
Uni-Kitty in Pink X2! That's right, UniKitty arrives in this set with two unique faces, and they each face is printed on its own 1x3 brick. Now we have been given Astro-Kitty in blue, Angry Kitty in firey red, Queasy Kitty in queasy-sea green, and UniKitty and Biznik Kitty in Bright Pink.
In this set we again receive UniKitty in the main UniKitty color of Bright Pink. The tail is the same as the original pink kitten, but outside of the face, the main difference between this version of Unikitty and the one's listed above is that the body of this Unikitty does not consist of a 1X3 arch brick. Instead, this Unikitty is sitting down, with a 1x2 bright pink sloped brick for the body.
Now, as cool as a sitting kitty is, it is the face of Unikitty that will excite people. Afterall, UniKitty is about everything except unhappy things, and until now only about 200 people lucky enough to receive the San Diego comic-con version of UniKitty, which contained Cheerful Kitty face and Cutesy Kitty face, were able to change her bright pink complexion... and at those numbers, unhappy faces started to appear.
To settle Unikitty down, along with a riotous group of online comic-con commentors, the double-decker couch set offers a concerned Unikitty face and a "wobbly" Unikitty face. Again, great for stop motion. Like the San Diego comic-con version, but unlike the original UniKitty version in bright pink, these two faces are made up of two pieces each. Each face contains a 1X3 brick, where the nose, mouth, and eyes are printed. The other piece, a 1x3 plate, comes with two small arcs printed on. These arcs are UniKitty's eyebrows! Two pieces have eyebrow printing, and they are unique from each other and the comic-con exclusive. The comicon eyebrow piece had two eyebrows that both curved upward. Here, UniKitty's eyebrows curve opposite directions, with one piece having the left eyebrow up/right eyebrow down, while the second piece has the left eyebrow down/right eyebrow up. I personally cannot wait to see how these "eyebrow" pieces begin to show up in MOC's in the near future.
President Business can smile? He can, he can smile! A possible hint to the next movie (personal guess), people commented pre-release that this set has an odd mix of minifigures. After all, President Business and Ghost Virtruvious never visited Emmit's double-decker couch; but as this set is delivered nearly a year after the movie was released, maybe the Lego Group is leading us all slowly to the second movie? Though speculation, one does not need to speculate that President Business found his kinder smile near the end of the movie.
Again, the facial printing is what is unique here. He arrives again wearing a dark bluish gray suit. He has had the suit unbottoned and buttoned before, and in this version his suit is buttoned.
His unibrow can be found printed on both sides of the head. The least exciting face is one of slight doubt. The eyes are round with white pupils and a tiny concerned frown. This face plays well with the face seen late in the movie, as does the other face on this minifigure. On the main face, the unibrow plays large with the same eyes found on the other side, but the tiny frown is replaced with a large upon-mouthed grin. Anyone into MOCing might find this expression worthy of joining a choir of singing minifigures. I personally will be adding this face to my holiday village carolers.
Emmet in Construction Outfit... again. What can I say, he is the Special, but this minifigure proves that those who are special really do appear in the same outfit many times over. Lego could have gone outside of the plans on this one, but the plans were followed, and the torso and legs are the same as the other construction Emmets.
Two faces appear, with one being an exact replica or very nearly exact replica of the open lopsided smile face found on the CMF version of Emmet. The second face shows a concerned face, with a downward-turned smile and slight forehead wrinkles between the eyebrows. He does come with a printed 2x2 waffle cookie, so that is nice. He also comes with a hair piece and a hard hat, so you can offer Emmet in two variations. Unfortunately, the hard hat is not the version with hair showing below it, but is just a classic red hard hat.
Ghost Vitruvius!!! As unexciting as Emmet is, Ghost Vitruvius is the opposite. Vitruvius himself is oddly rare within the Lego sets. One version appeared in a rare promotional set, another version appeared with a copy of the first movie, and a third version appeared in two of the Lego Movie sets, but a Ghost Vitruvius had not appeared (to my knowledge) until now.
So, what does this wondrous spirit consist of? His torso is all white with white hands. This lack of color or printing makes sense, as his ghost head covers 2/3rds of his body, just like the classic ghost figures have always done. A side effect of this body length is that the back of the head kind of resembles flowing white hair, if you have a child's imagination.
Also, like many of the ghost bodies, Ghost Vitruvius glows in the dark! As seen in ghosts from other sets, the ability to glow may change in future versions, but for now, he glows in the dark!. Different from other ghost bodies, but found on all versions of Vitruvius, is a tan headband on the ghost. Honestly, he is/was a Master Builder, so he does deserve a mark of uniqueness, and this headband/halo certainly does accomplish the task.
Now, this minifigure comes with a cape. The cape fits over the torso and under the body-length head.The cape is slightly longer than the head in back, and is printed on one side with silver dots - which offer a magical effect to the minifigure.
The piece used for the legs will be used by some MOCers (this person included) for window curtains. The piece is a white 1x2x2 printed brick. It has 7 gray lines running vertically up one side. Each line ends at a horizontal black line, and under the line are 8 small fringe/rope balls. As I am not an interior decorator, I'm lost for a better way to describe them. In the end, though, I've seen such decorative balls found on lamp shades, fancy outfits, and curtains... and I know this piece will work well in MOCs for some people.
The build
The build is quite simple and straight-forward. It is a complete duplication of the double-decker couch found in the MetalBeard's Sea Cow set. To paraphrase Vitruvius, It is truly the most unremarkable build you'll ever come across.
The car is quite similar. Seen before, done before, and very basic.
The completed model
The completed model is repetitious of past builds. The joy of this set, though, is that when it folds down on the hinges, it actually has some zoomability to it.
Overall opinion
For those who loved the movie, and want a set that can quickly become a starter set for this theme, the minifigures found here make this set a major first purchase. For those who love ghosts, kittens, classic space, construction, and businessmen, this set gives everyone options; and at it's price point, it allows everyone to gain wonderful main characters without having to break the Lego piggy bank to do so. Overall, this set is one to fall in love with!
On a longterm purchase, this set is a MOCers dream. The parts within this set may not stay as a double-decker couch, but all 209 parts will easily be used in future non-licensed builds, and rarely can one say that about a set of any size.

India is getting to be the most ridiculous place in the whole world. Islam has violated the Constitution of India and is still allowed to thrive in India. It is killing you from within because muslims have been allowed to take the law into their own hands to destroy India and the world from within. Since the time of Abdul Kalam, muslims are committing fraud and forgery, changing the Koran so that they can hide their crimes. And it is being done in India. So why are you surprised that the neighbors are also attacking you? It is islam's plan to kill hinduism and it is doing it from within and without for the last 1400 years. The muslims who are criminals are in your home and you call them friend and brother. So why worry about attack from outside when you allow the criminal to roam free inside your home? Who can save you when you dont care yourself? Abdul Kalam is a criminal and he is promoted internationally and you made him the President of India. He was supposed to protect you as the president but he actually protected and allowed the fraud of changing the koran from within India. What are you going to do now?

Well said, I do not know about Abdul Kalaam etc. but the so called "secular brigade" the nexus between evil congi-commie alliance is the one that has been supporting the anti-national forces for their own selfish narrow-minded greed and power at the very expense of our Nation's security, integrity and sovereignty. if our intent is to save "whatever is left of" our Nation and have the reams of recuperating our lost territories and greatness of our race then better get ready to decimate the evil congi-commie nexus and their distorted view of our Hindu history and their thought process at whatever cost. Muslims, chinks or anyone else can't do a shit to our nation if they do not have any support with in us from these congi-commie "chandaal chowkdee" Their loyalties lie to those beyond our borders.and the fifth column within. We all must be extra vigilant to recognize our enemies and always be ready to discriminate between "friends" and "enemies". The belief in "वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम" applies only when the whole wold follows "Vedic Dharma" not otherwise.
How do you intend to achieve it ? Unless we are organized on the very lines of "National Socialism" i.e extreme Nationalism with love for Hindusthan as our only aim, there doesn't seem to be any hope as the thing are at present.

The obesity epidemic is an urban reality as children cut down on outdoor activities and become couch potatoes. PADMINI B. PATELLreports
In a country where 46 per cent of children under 3 are undernourished, who would have imagined that obesity would figure as a major health problem? Prior to 1995, malnutrition was another word for India's health scenario but thanks to altered lifestyles, unhealthy diets, lack of exercise and stress, obesity now tops the health alarm list. While the percentage among adults is 18 per cent according to WHO, it's a shocking 30 per cent among children. In Delhi alone, 24.2 per cent of school children were found to be obese in a recent study by the Diabetes Foundation of India. And in Hyderabad, 50 per cent of the students in affluent schools were obese. An appropriate reason why Hyderabad SPINE Clinics held a free Obesity Screening for children on Independence Day! "When a broiler chicken has to be fattened, the first step is to restrict its movement by minimising the space around it, exactly the similar outcome is seen on humans whose area of activity unfortunately has drastically shrunk, therefore the tendency to accumulate fat," says Maj. Dr. S. Bakhtiar Choudhary, MD (Sports Medicine), Hyderabad SPINE Clinics. National surveys show that this increase in obesity among school children in particular is due to poor participation in exercises and organised games resulting in sedentary habits and poor fitness.
The lack of interest stems from parents who lay undue emphasis on academics, educational institutions which prefer classrooms to playgrounds and children who are constantly trying to cope with various pressures which leave them with little time for any other activity.
Ill effects
The consequences of the lack of exercise are increased body weight, reduced muscular strength, endurance and flexibility and flat feet (a direct resultant of walking only on hard and smooth surfaces). Obese children suffer from depression, low-self esteem, poor body image and social isolation that prevent them from active sports and social gatherings.
The long-term consequences anticipated are hypertension, diabetes, endocrinal disturbances, cancer, sleep disorders and behavioural problems added to dental problems, growth injuries and age related disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and arthritis occurring prematurely. Worse is the medical danger of obesity increasing with age and being carried into adulthood.
"Research has shown that childhood obesity needs a multi-disciplinary approach. Restrictions on simple sugars, visible oils, junk foods, aerated drinks and meats to once in a fortnight and food with increased dietary fibre from vegetables, fruits and unrefined cereals is essential. Along with this physical activity in the form of active group games and games which can be played life-long e.g. tennis helps. Regulated television viewing, computer/video games (not more than 30 minutes per day) and even elimination of the television remote can go a long way. However, scientific monitoring of body fat using biochemical parameters is important. Only a total commitment from the entire family can motivate a child to become more active and inculcates an interest in fitness for life," says Choudhary.
On the eve of India's 60th Independence Day, The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) issued guidelines on food and nutrition in schools considering rising children obesity figures, mainly in urban India and has asked all state governments to advise schools to stop the sale of junk food, encourage students to take nutritious diet and promote physical activity.
Sign boards reading 'Beware of dogs' are common but we now have to wake up to the obesity problem and 'Beware of Puppy Fat'!

Maryport fisherman's White Star find
Last updated at 20:20, Thursday, 01 March 2012
A Maryport fisherman could not believe his eyes when he found a perfectly preserved White Star Line saucer in his scallop nets.
Brian McGuirk, 43, of the Promenade, was in his boat, Bonnie Lass III, off Holyhead, Anglesey, when he found it.
And it brought to mind a string of coincidences, according to Brian.
He said: "It was such a coincidence for me, a Maryport fisherman, to find the saucer because my father John owns the White Star pub in Maryport.
"My mother, Ann Milne (nee Stephenson), was born in Maryport in the house of Thomas Ismay who founded the White Star shipping line."
Brian said he found the saucer 18 months ago and, while he knew it had probably not come from the most famous White Star liner, the Titanic, he could not find out much about its history.
He did discover that it was a piece of third class crockery which was rarer today than first or second class dishes, which tended to be valued more and therefore preserved.
He has offered the saucer to the Maryport Maritime Museum to display as part of an exhibition marking the centenary of sinking of the Titanic, to be held at the town's Wave Centre.
Cliff Ismay, of Workington, a descendant of Thomas Ismay, was delighted with the find.
He said: "It could be that it was thrown overboard, but there are also rumours of a White Star ship going down in that area. The White Star was a huge company with many ships."

Schneider was not only bigger, but also better in every aspect of the fight. Anyway, I'm glad they added at least one women's fight to the card in India. I hope that will bring some non-Japanese Asian fighters to compete. Reply Freaklegion April 8, 2012 Wow… from the ring announcer down to the play by play guys, they're all absolutely TERRIBLE… Someone should just do a demo tape and send it to them. Reply Jim April 8, 2012 "Salavary" is a good technique, but it seems like robbery and playing the system sometimes. No matter, that was a pretty boring fight. Reply PitfighterZ April 8, 2012 @Freaklegion: As I mentioned in the original thread, that's what happens when Phil Baroni is the smartest guy in the room… Reply ironfist April 8, 2012 terrible fight Reply mma made easy April 8, 2012 holy crap that IS bad. Freaklegion, I took your advice. Reply gmo April 8, 2012 That was the best ring announcer in history of mma! Reply mu0mu0mu April 8, 2012 buck had some long nail. they should not allow that shit Reply KouNTa KuLCHa April 8, 2012 Elbows do indeed make cuts.♠ Reply FailSonnen April 8, 2012 Looks like they do listen to some advice though> Last time I and a few other posters told them on YT to not have the fighters wear the same color shorts even if they are the colors of the sponsors. Looks like they listened in that regard. But what can you do; even UFC had humble beginnings. Plus, it doesn't look like the Indian crowd is that much into it. I wonder if they'll ever had an Indian female fighter? Reply whitekimbo April 9, 2012 i def prefer these grassroots promotions to the ufc infomercial Reply defend-brooklyn April 9, 2012 Not 100% sure but i think there was a female indian fighter on the ONE FC 2 card Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.

We've showed you quite a bit of ICAST 2014 on Bassmaster.com lately, but here's a closer look at the show.
Yes, it's true. I'm a vampire. I don't suck blood, though. I suck energy and a positive mental attitude from some of the young anglers I see around this country.
Stephen Mui, a competitor in the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series, qualified for BASSfest and walked away with an 18th-place finish and 48 pounds, 4 ounces.
During Bassmaster BASSfest, we asked our Marshals to send in on-the-water photos of the pros in action. Here are some of the best Marshal photos we received over five days of competition.
See what the pros brought in from Chickamauga Day 2 of Bassmaster BASSfest.
