Wow... check it out it comes wrapped in the weird sponge like material.

Let's rip it then!

It comes with a stand cum posing rod so you can make some nice poses.

I don't think the move set matches the person.

The joints might make the thing look a bit weird

DSC02790

But they do the job and allow a nice range of movements.

I personally like this system better than the Revoltech one because Revoltech joints don't stay in every position, it's like they have specific notches when you move the major joints like say the leg or arm. While this gives the Revoltech a stronger stiffer posability, it limits the movements since you HAVE to lock the joint at a notch and not anywhere you want it.

This has got to be the best pack in accessory in my opinion, a nice ziploc bag to keep all the unused parts from getting lost! ;)

I finally had an opportunity to make a real life application with Linq, and I must sure the experience has been GREEEAAAAATT!!!

It's really something to go from using table adapters, TSQL code, to do all your queries to a simple syntax like

query=from authors in ctx.authors where authors.name.startswith("john") select authors

directly in my code to do selection. Why is it easier and how different is this from using typed data adapters? well the main difference is the speed at which you can make a new query.

With a typed data adapter you'd have to fiddle around with a designer to create your queries, slowing down developement time. With Linq, you just keep pounding away on the keyboard to build your data layer and queries, so the time for code to go "from brain to actual code" has decreased, thus improving developement time.

Either great, there are some developement choice changes that come with using Linq, and I'm still fiddling with it to see if it can be as flexible as a dataconnection in a pinch.

Mommy let's take WZ to the park near our house, it's a small little park with a little pond.

pond

Then there's the usual children's slide for WZ to run around and play in.

WZ might get distracted by the LRT that passes by over head every few minutes.

I'm sure that the high tension wires that run on top of the park won't do any harm

DSC02639

It's a pretty well equipped park there are some simple gym equipment things here. Like jogging machines, cross country skiing machines.

DSC02631 

For sure they are just things that work, and don't have any fancy doodads or instrumentation.

DSC02632

But that's probably because it's a public park and it's better to make stuff that is simple and has a risk of being vandalized and broken.

DSC02633

That's a little on the lake walkway which we'd have to be sure to hang on to WZ if we want to walk on it.

DSC02638

And there are also some rules we need to follow, don't I don't get the bit about the blankets.

DSC02637

So.. what do you say mommy? Shall we go? What do you mean there might be too many mosquitos there? What do you mean WZ is too young to be playing on the slides? So... that's it? Ok... I'll go myself and to take some pics then.
