LEGO Review- Vezon and Kardas

zeekyman13 — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:07:55 +0000

Well, I’m not putting it off any longer. Here is the the review of THE GREAT…

VEZON AND KARDAS!!!

Yup, the final review in this box set. Well, if you dont know, here’s how I do my reviews. I write the pros, then cons, my thoughts and a final rating.

No review?! Awwwwwwwwwwwwww…

Now, since I already wrote a review on Vezon back two weeks ago, I’m not reviewing him again. I’ll just say his only differences are his spear and he has a shield. There, Enough said. NOW… on to the good part! THE ACTUAL REVIEW!

See the three silver things on his neck? Botar comes up to the third one.

Pros:

ULTRA TALL <—-
Great dragon design
Fully poseable tail
6 poseable toes
Great body design
Although his arms are quite short, it fits with his character.
Awesome Wings
Poseable neck
Fenrakk Head (one of the best poseable mouths i’ve seen.

Cons:

Lower legs are a little short for my liking
His Pieces
Can’t make wings flap (well, not as easily as Ultimate Dumes…)
Instructions are a wee bit confusing
His head has trouble balancing when his neck is all the way up
Nowhere for Vezon to attach to.

My Thoughts:

This guy. Just. This guy… wow. He’s ultra tall (the tallest Bionicle, in fact) he has super posability, he’s one of the most balanced giant bionicles I own and for looks… I mean… just look at him. Look at him.

LOOK AT HIM!!!!!!!

Now, I did mention his lower legs are quite short, but if they were to be made longer, but it made him look less awesome, I would pick smaller legs. One thing that might throw you off, in the story, Kardas lost pretty much every single battle he fought. (Maybe because he’s a mutated mutant spider?) But, forget the story. This guys gonna be a killing MACHINE!!!

“Good Kardas. Nice devastating monster. Are you my favourite engine of destruction? Yes you are.” -Vezon

Rating:

I know I said I didn’t like these, but I like this guy SO much, I think I’ll dare to say… I rate him 5/5 stars. The look, the consept, the pose, the balance, the companion, IT ALL SCREAMS “YES!!” In fact, I recommend the whole limited edition box set of Kardas. I had lots of fun with every set in it, and I’m gonna keep this guy built for a while. Plus, almost every set in there is a good challenge. Anyone who’s looking to buy this set, and are looking for advice, I say BE MY GUEST! You won’t regret it!

Is there something breathing on me?

Well, that’s that! Join me next time when I review… uh… something. I’ve got a few normal LEGO sets that remain unbuilt. So STAY TUNED FOR NEXT TIME!!

ONWARD, KARDAS! THERE’S MORE TO REVIEW!

LEGO Review- Botar

zeekyman13 — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:46:51 +0000

Another week brings another review! This time it’s…

BOTAR!

Who would have thought id do this? Me, of course. Anyway, this is how I review things. I write the pros, then the cons, my thoughts and a final rating. Now, LET’S RUMBLE!!!!!!

“I HATE SPIDERS!”

Pros:

Awesome design
Suprisingly ballanced on his 2 feet (for a bionicle of his size)
(Bad) shot of his blades.
Very tall
Poseable jaw
Arms stay up very easily
Cool hidden blades —->
Poseable thumbs

What is this?

Cons:

Instructions are very tedious and confusing at times
Cannot lift 1 leg a little without it tipping or falling
Weapon looks really stupid (and, ironiclly, is the smallest of all of them) <—–

My Thoughts:

I really, REALLY like this guy. Even though I had trouble FINDING the instructions online, his awsome design, suprisingly good balance, poseablity and overall playability make up for that. Although I despise the weapon, I usually just take it off, and then I just use the blades. An overall great set, and definetly one of my favourites.

Vezon: Please have mercy on me! I’ll do anything!
Botar: Naaaaaaaaaaa B.

Rating:

I give this bionicle a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Why? I don’t like giving out perfect rankings. (And the instructions.) If you have Axonn and Brutaka and you’re looking for a challenge, I definetly recommened you build this big behemoth, Botar!

“Shrimp”

Oh, and so you don’t have the same problem as I did finding the instructions, here’s a link:

Piden botar funcionarios no presenten declaración de bienes

noticias809 — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:54:20 +0000

La directora ejecutiva de Participación Ciudadana, Rosalía Sosa Pérez, reclamódfg al presidente Danilo Medina que cancele a los miembros de su gabinete que no han entregado su declaración jurada de bienes.
“Es un reclamo de Participación Ciudadana. No vamos a hablar con paños tibios de que no le paguen (su sueldo). El que no cumple debe ser retirado de su función”, expresó la representante del movimiento cívico al ser entrevistada en “El Bulevar con Pablo McKinney”, esta mañana.

Sosa Pérez manifestó que el presidente Medina debe dar “un mensaje claro de persecución de los actos de incumplimiento de la Constitución por parte de su gabinete” y consideró que él, al presentar a tiempo su declaración jurada de bienes, dio un ejemplo y por tanto puede reclamarle a todos sus funcionarios que lo hagan.

“Queremos el cumplimiento de la Constitución de aquellos que juraron cumplir y hacer cumplir la Constitución”, apuntó la también experta en Derecho Público.
Sosa Pérez recordó que como candidato presidencial, Medina firmó el Protocolo de Transparencia en el Sector Público que le propuso Participación Ciudadana, por lo que esa entidad está enfocada en reclamar que se cumplan sus 21 puntos.

Entre lo acordado, manifestó que Medina se comprometió que en el plazo de 31 días todos los funcionarios nombrados entregarían su declaración jurada, por lo que desde este martes 18 de septiembre Participación Ciudadana verificará que los funcionarios cumplen con el artículo 146 de la Constitución, referente a la declaración de bienes.

Con relación al cumplimiento de la Ley de Acceso a la Información Pública, Sosa Pérez afirmó que Medina pidió un plazo de 150 días para la estandarización de la transparencia. Asimismo, manifestó que actualmente hay más de 2,000 cuentas en el Estado que no se registran, por lo que el mandatario prometió que en 130 días se eliminarían todas para dar paso a la Cuenta Única del Estado.

La ejecutiva de Participación Ciudadana indicó que a pesar de que el presidente Medina ha comenzado a limitar a lo que establece la ley en relación con el número de viceministros, pidió al mandatario que también limite la contratación de asesores de los ministerios y entidades descentralizadas. En ese sentido expresó que si los ministros y directores generales son los especialistas en sus funciones, no es necesario que se contraten tantos asesores que vendrían a hacer las veces de viceministros.

“Lo que Participación Ciudadana reclama no solamente son las leyes, sino su implementación. Nosotros los dominicanos nos quemamos en la implementación porque de qué me vale tener una ley si no se cumple. Y sobre todo el sistema de consecuencias… Que el que viola la ley sea sancionado y no la sanción moral de la sociedad con la crítica de los medios de comunicación, sino verdaderas sanciones”, puntualizó la doctora Sosa Pérez.

THROW THE SEA

ballespi — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:42:13 +0000

Throw the sea, original spanish name: botar al mar.

Those phographs are a series of 5, made for photography contest themed with the sea. Trying to get away from the traditional idea of producing images of beautiful landscapes related to the sea. I decided to tackle another concept that often we are unaware, objects that have lost their use, and finally forgotten or destroyed are swept inland.
