Consoles Plus
Que ce soit sur PS2 ou Xbox, le jeu est incroyablement riche et travaillé. Avantage Xbox pour les graphismes, mais globalement, le fan du genre sera satisfait.
XBox Solution (XBS)
This is truly a kick ass game. If you're ready for an extremely challenging mission based combat game that will stress your mind as much as your fingers, then we Recommend you check Commandos 2: Men of Courage out!
Während die PS2-Fassung von Commandos 2 teils mit eklatanten technischen Unzulänglichkeiten zu kämpfen hatte, präsentiert sich die Xbox-Umsetzung des ein Jahr alten PC-Hits diesbezüglich ohne Fehl und Tadel. Zwar ist die Joypad-Steuerung nach wie vor etwas umständlich und zeitraubend, aber zu fatalen Verzögerungen kommt es dank der leistungsfähigeren Grafik-Engine nun weitaus seltener. Auch die kritisierten Ladezeiten fallen auf der Microsoft-Konsole deutlich kürzer aus, was dem Spielspaß genau so zugute kommt, wie die realistischeren Blickfeldanzeigen der Gegner und andere Detailverbesserungen. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist allerdings nach wie vor extrem hoch und die deutsche Version zwar perfekt lokalisiert, aber leider auch etwas eigenwillig geschnitten. Genre-Fans ohne PC sollten sich diesen Leckerbissen jedoch keineswegs entgehen lassen.
For all its shortcomings, Commandos 2 still succeeds in providing a challenging and thoroughly engaging experience. The non-linear mission design and freeform gameplay mechanics allow for some truly imaginative play, and Commandos 2 taps perfectly into the simple pleasure that is sending fictional soldiers to their certain doom. At the very least, Commandos 2 might save you the embarrassment of being a grown man playing with action figures.
Game industry News (GiN)
In the end, Commandos 2 is a pretty decent game. The game's strategic gameplay is too die for, and it's only made better by the game's awesome audio and array of characters. The game is held back however, by some super-difficult to grasp controls. If you're a console RTS fan, and you think you can deal with some really unintuitive controls, go ahead and pick up Commandos 2. Just remember, it's not going to be a walk in the park.
Deaf Gamers
Commandos 2 arrives on the XBOX and visually improves upon the PS2 version. Awkward controls take time to learn but once you have you'll grow to love the game. If you have a PC though, and prefer point 'n' click to multiple button presses then you would be better off with the PC version because it is far easier to control.
Xbox owners looking for a genuinely tough, original game should check out Commandos 2. In Commandos 2: Men of Courage, you're charged with commanding a small group of elite Allied operatives deep behind enemy lines during World War II. The direct approach isn't always the best approach, and at every turn, your commandos will be avoiding the patrols of German or Japanese forces. In this respect, Commandos 2 is quite a bit like its predecessor, the innovative 1998 real-time tactical combat game that mixed elements of stealth, action, and puzzle solving.
I'm going to come clean with it right from the outset: this is one of the most difficult reviews I've ever had to pen in my professional career. A strategy and action fanatic to be sure, I would have thought going in that talking about a simple hybrid of the two genres would have been a walk in the park. After all, I've been doing this for quite some time now, and weighing the good aspects with the bad has slowly become a natural process I undertake the second I play anything -- regardless of its beginnings.
Un jeu excellent sur PC, qui ne fera pourtant pas le bonheur des joueurs consoles à cause des lourdeurs de gameplay et du challenge surhumain qui y est proposé. On passe presque plus de temps à réfléchir sur les contrôles de jeu que sur les tactiques de missions, et l'on ne profite même plus de la richesse du soft. Le portage Xbox n'apporte rien de plus que la version PS2.
Game Chronicles
Born on the PC, the Commandos series has earned itself a healthy following by combining a complex stealth and combat core with deep missions and a 'real-time strategy' flare. With the computer market already won over, Eidos and Pyro Studios have now moved their well-received Commandos 2 over to the world of the consoles. The question, of course, is whether or not a game so deeply trenched in PC techniques and styles can be successfully translated over to the Xbox.
The Next Level
Unfortunately, I really feel the bad outweighs the good in this console port. Some games just don't transfer well when they lose the ability to use a keyboard and mouse. This version of Commandos 2 is recommended for only the most serious of strategy fans and even then only if you don't own a PC.
GamePro (US)
A console port of one of the most well-received PC strategy puzzlers of all time, Men of Courage has all the complex, stealth-based gameplay of its PC original. It?s smart, challenging, and an almost-exact duplicate of the popular PC title.

Recent Westhampton reviews
"Great little place in Remsensburg. It's a block from the bay and 10 minutes from the main strip with stores, etc. i think the pictures accurately reflect the house. It's a nice size for 5-6 people. The pool is a decent size. It ranges from 3-5 feet deep so it's good for kids. The only "downside" is there are no linens provided - so don't forget to pack towels, sheets, bath mats, etc. but the kitchen is well stocked with utensils and pots/pans and there is a washer dryer which is helpful. We had a great relaxing time and would go back again. Christine was very nice and was great about communicating."Guest: Danielle D.

"This house is the perfect choice for an extended family. The master suite upstairs has a beautiful view of the pool and bay. The three other bedrooms can accommodate 4-6 other members. Most of all, the owner Bruce was so kind and helpful that we felt we were his guests instead of tenants. This was a vacation filled with fond memories for a lifetime.. If you are lucky you too can rent this property!"Guest: Phyllis S. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: September 20, 2015View listing
"We spent 4 days at this lovely house at the end of a very busy 3 week sight-seeing holiday and we felt instantly relaxed. The decor is lovely and charming and the summer room at the front of the house is the perfect place to take your morning coffee or your evening wine. Everything was in good working order and well cared for; the place was spotless. The beds were comfortable and, just a mere jump from the floor! (You like your beds big in the U.S. :) ) There are excellent laundry facilities too in the basement. The house is well-stocked and Diane was kind enough to let us use whatever was remaining in the fridge - including some wine! The house comes with a pass to Rogers beach which is beautiful and clean and has restroom, changing and food facilities. We were lucky enough to meet our hosts, Diane and her husband when we arrived and they patiently answered all our questions about the area and gave us tips on restaurants, shops and beaches. My husband managed to lose his wedding ring in the house the day of our departure and luckily the cleaning lady found it after we had left. Diane emailed us straight away to set our minds at rest and arranged to have it posted out to us - we are so grateful to her. I have no hesitation in recommending this accomodation."Guest: Sue G. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 1, 2015View listing
"This is a beautiful home with excellent decor and amenities. The living space is large and very condusive for a family vacation for example you can sit in the living room while the kids play in the den. The outdoor space, deck and pool was just perfect....enough chairs around the pool and nice deck. The location is perfect as you are walking distance to town and can bike to the beach. I have rented in Westhampton Beach before and this was by far the best home!!!! The owners are a pleasure to deal with and very responsive. This is the perfect getaway for anyone."Guest: Audrey E.

We have stayed in Iznajar and surrounding villages before and love the area but this spot surpassed expectations.The bungalow is compact but not cramped with everything you need and clean with a superb shower. Kath is on hand to answer any questions and offered to pick up supplies from the supermarket on one of our many lazy days. In January in gets cold at night but there was heating in every room with extra supplied as my husband does feel the cold due to medical issues. The outside space is gorgeous with a superb pool (not used in January!) And various seating areas. The village has a small supermarket with everything you need and a restaurant. The walks in the area are simply stunning and a short drive to Iznajar with banks, bars and restaurants plus the lake. For me the highlight has to be the roof terrace which is spacious and has an incredible view of the hills looking towards the mountains.
The quality of the outside space means you don't need to go anywhere but this ... mehr

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 126,452, filed Nov. 30, 1987; now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to pay television systems and particularly to a method of operating a pay television system with provision for subscriber self-authorization to permit viewing of special pay per view programs.
While the inventive system and method will be described in a cable television environment, it will be appreciated that over-the-air television signalling systems can also benefit from the invention. In pay per view television systems selected channels or events, such as sports programs and the like, are generally made available to system subscribers for a fee in addition to that normally charged for the cable or subscription service. The invention provides a cable television system with subscriber terminals having authorization memories which the subscribers can self-authorize to view a special impulse pay per view (IPPV) feature. The invention further provides for two-way communication to enable polling of the individual subscriber terminal authorization memories to determine which, if any, IPPV programs have been "bought."
In pay television systems, each subscriber terminal is typically identified by a unique address which permits the cable head-end to selectively communicate with the terminals. Each subscriber terminal also includes a controller and an authorization memory which has a plurality of memory locations containing authorization data defining the levels of service for which the subscriber has paid. Unscrambling means in the individual subscriber terminal decoders are controlled by the authorization memory for selectively enabling unscrambling and viewing of scrambled television signals sent from the cable head-end. In some systems, television signals are transmitted from the head-end with a program tag, included in a data packet, that identifies a particular single-bit memory location in the subscriber terminal authorization memory. The corresponding memory location stores either a logic "1" or "0" bit establishing whether the subscriber is authorized or not authorized, respectively, for receiving the accompanying program. In the IPPV system of the invention, the data packet also includes an IPPV program tag which identifies a memory location in the subscriber terminal authorization memory that may be the same or different from the memory location identified by the program tag. A received non-zero IPPV tag results in a suitable display on the subscriber terminal decoder for indicating that the program associated with the IPPV tag may be bought in response to the subscriber taking appropriate action. In the preferred embodiment, the appropriate action consists of the subscriber using a personal password to access the authorization memory and set the memory location defined by the IPPV tag to "1" thereby self-authorizing the terminal for receiving the program. On a periodic basis, the head-end "polls" each subscriber terminal in the system for reading the contents of their respective authorization memories. The subscriber terminals individually respond by transmitting authorization memory information to enable the head-end to determine the status of the memory location or locations defined by the IPPV tag or tags. Based upon the memory information, the head-end determines whether the subscriber "bought" one or more IPPV programs and thereby the amount that is to be billed for such special event programming.
As will be seen, the program tag controls unscrambling of the accompanying signal by reading the authorization memory, whereas the IPPV tag controls self-authorization and the display by permitting writing to the authorization memory. The tags are independent of each other and give the head-end a great deal of flexibility in modes of operation.
With the system, subscriber terminal authorization memories of very limited size may be utilized to support an IPPV system. It will be appreciated that more than one IPPV tag may be used in the system by appropriate selection of different memory locations for different special programs.
A principal object of the invention is to provide a novel pay per view television system.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method of operating a scrambled television signalling system.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method of operating a pay per view television communication system that requires only minimal memory in subscriber terminals.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent upon reading the following description in conjunction with the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a head-end constructed in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a decoder constructed in accordance with the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating operation of the invention.
The encoder of FIG. 1 includes a television signal source 10 which is coupled to a scrambler 12 where the television signal is subjected to scrambling (encoding) by any of a number of well-known techniques. A computer based system controller 14 is coupled via two-way communication buses to a data source 16, to a system memory 18 and to a data receiver 24. System memory 18 includes the addresses of all system subscriber terminals, their authorization status and other information relative thereto. Data source 16 formats the address and data information in appropriate data packets for transmission with the television signal. System controller 14 controls operation of scrambler 12 and data source 16. The data is preferably transmitted in-band by modulating, for example, the widths of the horizontal blanking intervals or, alternatively, may be transmitted out-of-band on a separate RF carrier. Scrambler 12 supplies an RF transmitter 22 for modulating the scrambled video signal and data (in the case of in-band data transmission) onto an RF carrier for transmission to all subscriber terminals. A data receiver 24 is coupled to the signal output line for receiving data sent back by the individual subscriber terminals in response to polling commands sent to the subscriber terminals.
Each subscriber terminal is equipped with a decoder, similar to that of FIG. 2, which receives the transmitted signal at a signal input terminal and couples it to an unscrambler 38 and to a data detection circuit 32. The data detection circuit supplies detected data to a microprocessor 34 which is linked by a two-way communication bus to a subscriber terminal authorization memory 36. Microprocessor 34 controls operation of unscrambler 38 for unscrambling video signals for which the authorization memory 36 indicates the terminal is authorized. The output of unscrambler 38 is supplied to a conventional television receiver 40. A keyboard 42 is coupled to microprocessor 34 for enabling an authorization code to be input to a memory location in authorization memory 36 that corresponds to an IPPV tag. A display 44 is also controlled by microprocesser 34 for indicating when a special program, identified by an IPPV tag, is available for purchase. A polling transmitter 46 is linked to microprocessor 34 and supplies data, in appropriate form, to the signal input terminal for transmission back to the head-end in response to a polling command.
In operation, a transmitted television signal, including coded binary data, is sent to and received by all subscriber terminals in what is referred to as a "global" packet. A global packet is one that all subscribers are able to decode. An addressed packet, on the other hand, is only decoded by the corresponding subscriber terminal. The binary data is sent in one or more such global packets. A global packet includes a program tag associated with the television signal being transmitted. The program tag identifies a single-bit memory location in each subscriber terminal authorization memory. This memory location is set with an authorization code ("1") if the terminal is authorized to decode the accompanying signal or a non-authorization code ("0") if not authorized. The microprocessor in the subscriber terminal selectively controls operation of the unscrambler to unscramble the received television signal by checking the contents of the memory location identified by the program tag. The global packet also includes an IPPV tag which identifies one of a group of memory locations in each subscriber terminal authorization memory used for IPPV programming.
If the IPPV is set to zero, the accompanying program is not an IPPV program and not available for an impulse purchase. Therefore, the subscriber terminal cannot be self-authorized. A non-zero IPPV tag indicates an IPPV program. If the memory location identified by the IPPV tag has a "0", an IPPV display on the decoder informs the subscriber that the terminal may be selfauthorized to permit viewing of the program. (If the memory location has a "1", there is no IPPV display.) A subscriber terminal may be self-authorized by entry of a password which puts a "1" in the memory location designated by the IPPV tag. Selfauthorization of the terminal changes the IPPV display back to the normal display. The accompanying program will now be viewable in unscrambled form, assuming the program tag designates the same memory location. With this arrangement, the head-end can pre-authorize selected subscriber terminals for one or more IPPV programs by setting authorization codes of "1" in a certain memory location or locations.
To preclude uncontrol-ed authorization of special pay programs, each subscriber is assigned a personal password which microprocessor 34 recognizes as being valid to authorize purchase of IPPV programs. This feature, while not part of the present invention, is useful to prevent children, for example, from watching adult type material or from authorizing IPPV programs without permission.
The head-end, on a periodic basis, sequentially interrogates or polls each subscriber terminal via addressed packets. Each terminal responds by transmitting the contents of its authorization memory 36, via messages from polling transmitter 46, back to the head-end. The head-end receives the data by means of data receiver 24 and compares the memory locations to determine which IPPV programs, if any, were self-authorized at the subscriber terminal. These messages are identified by the head-end with individual subscribers in the order in which they are received as is well-known in the art. The IPPV memory locations of the subscriber terminal are reset from the head-end after the conclusion of the PPV event via instructions included in data packets addressed to the individual subscriber terminal or via instructions in global packets.
The following examples will help to illustrate the features of the inventive method. Assume that 32 memory locations of the authorization memory are identified by program tags from zero to 31. Assume also that a scrambled program signal is being sent on a given television channel and is to be followed in five or ten minutes, for example, by an IPPV program, and that the program tag, corresponding to the present scrambled signal, is 20 and that the IPPV tag is zero. (Setting the IPPV tag to zero precludes subscriber self-authorization and is useful to assure that subscribers do not purchase special programs in the middle of, or near the end of, a program.) Within the prescribed period at the end of the present program, the program tag remains at 20 but the IPPV tag is changed to 18, for example, to designate a memory location that is set to "0". This is reflected in an IPPV display on the decoder notifying subscribers that an IPPV program, that will be aired shortly, is now available for purchase. A subscriber wishing to purchase the IPPV program enters his password, which authorizes memory location 18 by setting it to "1". When the IPPV program commences, the program tag is changed to 18, corresponding to the previous IPPV tag, and the IPPV tag remains at 18 for a limited time period during which subscribers may still self-authorize their decoders to unscramble the IPPV program presently being transmitted. After expiration of that time period, the program tag remains at 18 during the television presentation, but the IPPV tag is changed to zero to preclude further self-authorizations. This feature prevents subscriber confusion as to which IPPV program is being purchased, i.e., the present one or a subsequent one. Should a pre-authorization of that IPPV program have been made for that subscriber terminal, memory location 18 would have been set to "1" instead of "0", and no special IPPV display would have been shown at that particular subscriber terminal.
In a preview implementation of the inventive method, the television signal is transmitted with a program tag for which all subscriber terminals are authorized and with an IPPV tag to allow self-authorization for an upcoming IPPV program. In this embodiment, a subscriber may be conveniently notified that the program is available for purchase by an on-screen IPPV display since all subscriber terminals unscramble the signal. Subscribers would self-authorize their terminals as before via their keyboards and passwords. When the IPPV program commences, the program tag is changed to identify the same memory location previously used for the IPPV tag and the IPPV tag is changed to zero. Those subscriber terminals that had been self-authorized continue to unscramble the signal, whereas others do not and are prevented from being self-authorized. The IPPV tag change to zero is preferably delayed for a short period to enable late viewers to self-authorize their terminals to unscramble the program although they would not receive a preview. Preauthorized terminals would not receive the IPPV display since the memory location designated by the IPPV tag would have already been set to "1".
As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the inventive system uses the authorization memory for both regular programs and IPPV programs. This lends a great deal of flexibility to the system and permits the head-end a wide assortment of revenue-enhancing programming options.
In FIG. 3, a flow chart describes the functional operation of the system of the invention. Considering first the left-most portion of the flow chart, data is received and the authorization memory location identified by the program tag is checked to see whether there is an authorization bit of "1" or a non-authorization bit of "0" therein. If there is an authorization bit of "1", the unscrambler in the encoder is enabled and the decoder display shows the channel number. If the memory location bit is "0", the unscrambler is not enabled and the display indicates the letters UA to indicate an unauthorized channel. In the right most portion of the flow chart, the IPPV tag in the received data is interrogated to see if it is a zero. If it is a zero, nothing further occurs since selfauthorization of the terminal is not available. If it is not zero, the memory location identified by the IPPV tag is checked to see whether it contains a "1" or a "0". If it contains a "1", nothing further transpires since that particular subscriber terminal is authorized for the IPPV program. If it contains a "0", the display indicates the letters IP and the self-authorization mode is enabled. Upon entry of the password, the memory location identified by the IPPV tag is set to "1" and either the channel number or the letters UA are displayed depending upon the result of "A" (whether the memory location of the program tag is set to "1" or "0"). This completes the self-authorization routine.
The center portion of the flow chart depicts the polling and resetting of the IPPV memory locations. The initial inquiry is whether the received data packet is for the particular terminal. Consequently, the address is checked. If the data packet is for the terminal, an inquiry is made as to whether an IPPV edit command has been received, and if so, the identified memory location is set to "0". An inquiry is also made as to whether a polling command has been received, and if so, the contents of the authorization memory are transmitted to the headend.
With the invention, a very simple method of operating an impulse pay per view television system is made available. It is recognized that numerous changes and modifications in the described embodiment of the invention may be made without departure from its true spirit and scope. The invention is to be limited only as defined in the claims.

Ubuntu Marching On: RC for Lucid Lynx
Canonical has made the release candidate for Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" available for download. It's free for anyone to test.
As Steve Langasek reports on the Ubuntu announce list, the RC is ready, stable and usable. Within a week, Canonical wants to release the final version of Ubuntu 10.04 for download. It is to be an LTS version with three-year desktop and five-year server installation support.
Among the important new features in Ubuntu 10.04, next to completely new artwork, are a much faster boot process, integration of numerous programs in the System menu of the GNOME panel, the Ubuntu One Music Store, and extended program choices.
The RC, according to the release notes, is available for testing upgrades from Ubuntu 9.10 or the last LTS version 220.127.116.11. Canonic still wants to fix a few critical bugs within the next week, including the recent X server memory leak problem.
- GNOME version: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/rc
- KDE version: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/10.04/rc

Heavy Snow, High Winds In Bangor; Blizzard Warning In Effect [UPDATE]
Forecasters are calling for heavy snow in the Bangor area on Tuesday as a result of a dangerous coastal storm making its way to the region.
Forecasters are calling for heavy snow in the Bangor area on Tuesday as a result of a dangerous coastal storm making its way to the region.
We've already been through a couple of big storms this winter, one of which left Jim and me without power for a couple of days. As a blizzard of 'historic proportions' gets ready to dump 18 inches to two feet of snow on us, I'm reviewing my list of things I've learned to do in advance.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Bangor and interior Downeast Maine, calling for 6-12 inches of snow through Saturday night.
It finally happened: Gas for less $2 a gallon in Bangor area.
Bao Bao is 16 months old and, this week, she got to play in the snow for the very first time. Tumbling down a hill, climbing trees, and pouncing on her mother, she had a lot of fun! Get ready for your 'Awwww' moment of the day!
An autistic man whose father called authorities after he failed to come home from a walk on Monday was found in some woods. Wardens say last night's extreme temperatures made it a very dangerous situation.
Roughly 59 miles of Bangor city sidewalks are plowed directly following any major winter storm. Wonder where the sidewalk in front of your home is on the priority list?
It's been quite a year and much of it was captured on video. From monster storms to a dance/martial arts routine that will drop your jaw, there were some amazing videos out there. Here's a cool compilation of a few of them!
State Police say a Portland man was seriously injured Thursday morning when he lost control of his car on Interstate 295 on the Brunswick exit.
Maine State Police continue investigating the fatal crash between a car and a pedestrian that occurred around 4:20 PM Wednesday in Glenburn. The woman's identity and details of the crash have been released by officials.

TheBrickAvenger has posted his most ambitious LEGO diorama yet, with this scene inspired by the heyday of piracy in the 17th-century Caribbean. While one's eye is certainly drawn to the steeply slanted roof, clock tower, and minifig action, the standout detail for me is the studs-out half timber construction. The builder also uses three completely different techniques for windows, including an ingenious but incredibly complicated bay window shared back in March by Sheo. Spend some time poring over the picture — I'm sure you'll find something I've missed that's even cooler.
Category Archives: Building Techniques
The Atomic Age in a new age: Construction with Nick Trotta
Builder extraordinaire Nick Trotta is famous for building highly complex spacecraft and polishing them to perfection, and that reputation is well-deserved as evidenced by the Atomium. Not only has Nick built a stunning model, but he's rebuilt and redesigned it enough times that he can build it completely from scratch in one sitting, as if he were following (his own) instructions. This works out great for us, though, as we get to see exactly how everything fits together, thanks to a nifty time-lapse video of Nick building the model start to finish.
And if one isn't enough, his previous model, which is also lovely but has a more industrial workhorse feel, also features a complete construction video so we can learn a few pointers.
Homeworld-inspired Vaygr battlecruiser by Dorian Glacet
Even though I've mainly been building military models over the last couple of years, I appreciate a good spaceship. And I've always been disappointed that I haven't been able to play the iconic and influential Homeworld games. French builder Dorian Glacet has been playing Homeworld 2 lately, and built this great ship (actually a true SHIP at 105 studs long) with classic colors and stripes.
Dorian's SHIP may look a lot like many of the other Homeworld-inspired spaceships we've featured over the years, but when I looked at his photostream, I was struck by the rather innovative approach to the ship's core, which is entirely "studs-out":
Dorian then attached greebles and the ship's skin to this core:
Check out Dorian's photostream on Flickr for more, including preliminary digital designs and work-in-progress shots.
Walking Lego animals
Even when they are not electrically powered, Jason Allemann's creations still has ways to demonstrate motion. Check out these simple gravity-powered walkers.
Reverse Engineering Contest (REC IV)
Got builders block and need a break? Want a challenge? Or just want to test your building know how? Then I suggest you check out the fun little Reverse Engineering Contest. Unlike a lot of LEGO contest that ask you to create something, this one asks you to copy a build. They're all small and deceptively simple, but once you actually sit down and start playing with it, it's not always as easy as it seems.
This marks the first, of nine, weekly challenges:
It starts off simple and gets progressively harder. So why not join in on the action? Stretch your building brain a bit with these building exercises – oh and don't forget to read up on the rules on how you could win some prizes. Though this contest is one where the best reward is figuring out all the puzzles.
Oh who am I kidding, a Birds set, and most importantly: rare and useful pieces from contest runner Ryan H. (LDM) is a pretty great prize.
Build your own working Lego ballista
Jason Allemann has come up with a design for Lego ballista that can launch a 2×4 brick 15 feet (which will let you hit almost any target in even the biggest dioramas). The best part is that he has posted step-by-step instructions for you to build your own. Time to get ready for battle!
Playable Go board built from LEGO
As a small child back in Japan, I used Go pieces to create serpentine roads across tatami floors for my little Tomica cars, but my family left Japan before I ever played a proper game. I still get nostalgic whenever I see Go games. Joe Miller built this fully functional 9×9 Go set completely from LEGO, using some rather complicated techniques to place the black lines on the board.
The lines themselves are the tops of 1×2 half-panels wedged into full (3-brick high) panels, combined with some serious sideways and upside-down (SNOT) construction.
House of Healing...and Leaning
This crazy house is the fault of César Soares and it's an eye-catcher. It really has some unusual angles going on, both on the roof and the walls. I also like the patches and repairs. It gives the house a sense of character and helps create a story in your mind.
Ask A Lemur – Sorting, Joining a LUG & the Founding of the Blog
Merry Christmas, Dearest Readers!
It's the TBB Lemur Intern here, once again, to answer your questions and be your window into the deepest, darkest reaches of the LEGO hobby. Well, that and candy canes, cookies and all the other yummy bits that people keep leaving about. Such a scrumptious time of year! I'm loving everybody! Caylin let me lick the bowl after she made her world famous fudge and Ralph needed a guinea pig for his egg-nog experiment. I said I didn't know any guinea pigs so he said I would have to do. It was really yummy! Not sure what the experiment was, but as long as he turns out delicious nog, I'm happy.
Oh, I have a bit of news. There is now a Lemur button on the sidebar! If you want to ask me a question, just click on it and leave a comment in the most recent 'Ask A Lemur' post. There is also a bit of delay in the Lemur Loot. Once it gets here, the mail room gnomes will gather all the addresses and get caught up on the backlog.
On to your questions!
How do you sort your Lego collection? And what ways of sorting have you found work best for which styles of building?
That is a great question! It is also not an easy question to answer because everyone sorts a little bit differently. There are two main ways though. Sorting by color and sorting by piece. Many fans first begin by sorting their collections by color.
The problem with that is once all your pieces are in bins of the same color, it is really hard to pick out the pieces you need because everything sort of blurs together. So most builders then move onto some version of sorting by piece. The problem there is that there are so many different pieces you can spend the rest of your life sorting your collection in the various pieces.
A good way to start is to do what many call a "rough sort". Figure out what kinds of pieces you use most and separate them from the mass of pieces you don't use. Then you can sort those into similar categories. If you have a lot of the same pieces, you might want to sort those by color. Some do and some don't. I'm sure other readers will chime in and talk about the specifics of how they sort.
Personally, I sort my collection by taste. It takes a very keen set of taste buds but it's totally worth it.
In space no-one can hear you rust
One of the more notable Maschin Krieger inspired builds from this year's Ma.Ktober fest is probably the Baumeister Spinnentier, a "construction arachnid" style zero-G hardsuit, created by Canadian builder Josh Derksen.
Clearly the break-out technique Josh has used here is the application of paint to give the model a rusted look (…yes it rains in space, deal with it!). Using paint to artificially 'weather' LEGO is something I've wanted to do myself for a long time, but have not yet been man enough to attempt. But Josh totally nails it with this creation. Check out his full breakdown to get a look at all of its finer details and play features (which include poseable arms and pincers, and an openable cockpit).

Drive to lefkosia (Nicosia)
Lovely drive with Geoff and Amanda to Lefkosia (Nikosia) where we crossed the Turkish border. We did some shopping and had a drink of fresh lemonade at one of the cafes in the Suk.
We then drove to the Mall for some lunch before heading to Lefkara, a small village in the mountains famous for their lace and silver.
We got home after six, got changed and went to dinner in the town of Lemesol at TGIF.
It's so much fun being with Geoff, Amanda and ...
Coming Back
Up early for an 8.30 start. A very good breakfast buffet. In a meeting until 2 when we stopped for some lunch. A buffet again but not so exciting.
In the afternoon, one of the Cypriots, Doros, drove Tony and me into and around Limassol. In many ways Limassol resembles a cross between Benidorm and Blackpool. A long strip of beach front bars and restaurants, few of which are that appealing, but they ...
Dinning at Kymata - Asimina Suites!
... it responded well with the dill yoghurt sauce that it was topped with, but if the fish is not fresh then forget it! What I had was tasteless and not tender at all.
Tip: Have in mind that 'Fish' dishes on page 8 are not the catch of the day. I had no idea and realized it much later when I turned down the grilled swordfish. If you are out for Fresh seafood you have to place your order 24 hours in ...
Nice place, Cyprus
... in the north of the country, they drove the locals out of their homes down to the Sth (the Limassol end), and to this day a "border" (called the green zone), patrolled by the Brits and the UN segregates the hatred between Muslims and Christians - just amazing, to the nth, not much going on, little tourism, little work and little hope, back this end-thriving, I think I am getting a message here..,,,, let me come ...
Larnaca, Limassol...Life!
... for foot travel as it has a cultural walk that takes you from the city castle (to keep out those pesky Turks), to craftmans quarters (some neat things, but a lot of wang-shaped key rings and ashtrays that say "I Love Cyprus"), the church of Lazarus (Mike said I'm not allowed to call him "Jesus' First Zombie") and the ruins of ancient Larnaca ("Kition" for those that want to know). There was also something on the walk that was described as "houses a large collection ...

Filmed in Bucharest, Romania, Steven Seagal (Black Dawn, Under Siege), Garrick Hagon (Second in Command, Spy Game), Skye Bennett (Shadows of the Past) and Eva Pope (Splinter, TV's "Bad Girls," "Coronation Street") star in this hard-hitting, action-packed film about an Intelligence Operative who discovers that no one is what they seem in the shadowy world of espionage. On a trip to Bucharest five years after the death of his wife and son, former covert agent Jack Foster's (Seagal) 8-year-old daughter is kidnapped. He searches Bucharest for her while the Romanian police, the American Embassy, and Russian agents all pursue him, believing he has a microchip containing the formula for a virus that could kill millions if it falls into the wrong hands.
