Nothing I REALLY liked this time around, but Derpy is always good in my book, so I enjoyed those pictures that included her.

You know, if I was Seth, I would ban chronic firsters. It's stupid as fuck, and quite annoying.
That is, of course, assuming you even can ban on this sort of thing. But I'm sure it's possible.
Good drawfriend. I liked 9 the most, since I love Spike/Applebloom almost as much as I love Rarispike. - January 3, 2012 at 4:11 PM

Some of my faves:
Love the colors on 5 and 12.
Must be a specially made gun for 15. How else to explain the lack of need for fingers?
17. Glasses. Needs to be part of her regular attire.
19. Not enough Philamena art out there. Love the fire effects.
22. Dang it, I just replaced the monitor Big Mac broke last week.
And if you're going to BronyCon, hope you have a good time. - January 3, 2012 at 4:12 PM

#18 is a G-Gundam reference and I'm in love with it...whoever made this, thank you
- January 3, 2012 at 4:12 PM
- Xort said...
Actually, if you follow the source to 9 you'll find a link to a previous picture. Basically, Spike knocked up Applebloom.
There's a sequel that shows their hybrid dragonpony, and it's utterly adorable. - January 3, 2012 at 4:12 PM

Time to see what today's Drawfriend has in store.
#1 Awesome beyond words. So much action without anything moving.
#2 So much power! And once under control, watch out!
#3 Wouldn't think that Fluttershy had knowledge of the future, but I've been wrong before
#4 Haven't we all wrestled with our bedsheets before?
#5 Really love the lighting on Twi and Luna.
#6 No one can possibly have a day worse than this poor pony.
#7 I'd say this is an interesting look for Fluttershy.
#8 Not what I'd want to come home to. For that matter, there isn't even a home to speak of. :(
#9 Looks like they didn't plan this out very well.
#10 Please tell me there's one for each of the mane 6, 'cause this is awesome!
#11 Is she trying to fly away on that balloon? LOL
#12 Rarity looking ever-fabulous.
#13 Great pic, even if I don't entirely get what's going on.
#15 I'll bet that's the last time anyone pisses off Rainbow.
#16 It's good, but kind of depressing.
#17 The glasses add that certain something to Twilight's appearance that I can't put my finger on.
#18 Whoo-hoo! So much action. And is that Pinkie cheering them on from that cliff?!
#19 I think it's been a while since we saw some Philomeena here. Cool
#20 Who says we should see this animated?
#21 Step on it, Rainbow! Derpy must live!
#22 Is there nothing safe from Pinkie's antics? (Downloading this to my iPad)
#23-25 Great promotional posters for BroNYCon. It would be even more awesome if these were plastered all over Manhattan.
#26 I WANT THEM ALL! - January 3, 2012 at 4:23 PM

It appears I have a badge now, I might just get one. Also, no personal photos this time around, that's a relief.

#10 - awesome. Only thing that'd make it better is if each jewel were actually the cutie mark like they are on the show..

I think earth ponies would be more suited to running around rooftops with them having more endurance and all.
Then again, how would anypony physically climb houses? - January 3, 2012 at 4:33 PM

I'm surprised nopony has done a Grand Galloping Gala golden ticket image yet for Bronycon.

- Kyronea said...
Although nothing really stands out, I'm gonna comment on them all anyway, cause I don't feel all that well.
1. So many references I'm not getting lately. I don't understand this one either. Or who that's supposed to be. Or why it's even in this Drawfriends when it doesn't appear to have anything to do with ponies.
2. Yipe. Everytime I see a piece of art from when Twilight's magic exploded on her, I feel bad, because I can't imagine it's anything other than painful for her.
3. Is this Commander Hurricane talking? Or is it just Rainbow Dash dressed up again? It's hard to tell.
4. Very interesting style. Sleepy Twilight is sleepy.
5. Hrm...is Twilight in Canterlot?
6. Littlepip, that's why you don't go through minefields. (The artist put the Pipbuck on the wrong leg, by the way.)
7. She looks like she's wearing a basket on her head. And it's adorable.
8. Poor Trixie...
9. I had to look at the source to find the context. Apparently, Spike had relations with Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom is now pregnant. I am now scared.
10. I like the design of this one. It's a nice way of showing Twilight at the center of it all.
11. Pinkie's got a balloon!
12. I like the different sort of coloring this one has going on for it.
13. Is that a forest fire? You probably shouldn't stand there too long.
14. Please do your job properly rather than dropping the letters.
15. Whenever I see ponies holding objects like this, I have to cringe, because it shouldn't be possible. Not to mention I don't get the context. A fez and a tommy gun?
16. Luna looks rather depressed...I hope those are tears and not blood...
17. I like the shading. Twilight also looks a little depressed, but that might just be due to the eyes.
18. Celestia and...Luna?...taking down Discord. Nice.
19. Beautiful drawing of a phoenix.
20. No.
21. I'm not sure why Dash is trying to save Derpy, but save her she must! Hurry, Dash!
22. Pinkie bursts out of an IPad?! This I like.
23/24/25: I'm not going to Bronycon because I can't go to NYC, and I don't think three different pictures about it in one Drawfriends was necessary.
26. Neat little badges, though they look more like G1 ponies here. - January 3, 2012 at 4:58 PM

Ooh, what a nice surprise. My art hasn't been featured for a while.
Love that Little Pip picture. I think 18 is my favorite. Love the Twi and Celestia duo of complete badassery. - January 3, 2012 at 5:43 PM
- pmcollectorboy said...
The unfortunate implications. Apparently Equestria is blessed with some kind of magic that allows preteen mothers to wind up even skinnier after birth. - January 3, 2012 at 5:46 PM
- WhiteDiamonds said...
Finally, I have a real, entire day off from work! Share my joy, Equestria Daily!
#2 This picture really stood out to me, mostly because of the unconventional angle I think. Nice dynamic pose for Twilight.
#8 Aww, poor Trixie. This picture actually makes me feel sorry for her, or at least a little bit.
#9 I guess it's better than Rarispike, but implied SpikeBloom (or whatever the correct name is supposed to be) is still bizarre to me. Especially if we're led to believe that Spike would do anything to get Big Macintosh visibly upset.
#9 I like this picture. It's not the most original Twilight fanart ever in terms of concept, but it is very crisp and clean and I really love Twilight's expression and soft coloring. Pretty.
#11 Pinkie, you are too adorable. <3
#12 Ooh, I like this one a lot! Mostly for the coloring. I always have so much respect for artists who are not afraid to use color in unexpected ways, and this piece certainly does just that. I really should do some more experimenting myself, it couldn't hurt.
#15 The sandwich and the fez make this picture kind of hilarious to me.
#17 I've always said Twilight looks very nice in glasses!
#18 The way this idea was executed totally reminds me of an anime or something. Kind of strange composition, but I like the way the artist drew Discord.
#19 Very cool! I know essentially nothing about 3-D modeling, and so I'm nearly always impressed when I see people make nice things with it.
#24 Hahaha, Pinkie's little shoes are cute and hilarious. Too bad I live on the other end of the country from where Bronycon will be taking place, but oh well... chances are I'd be too busy anyway, sadly.
Rather a short Drawfriend today, but I'm grateful I had the time to see and comment on it anyway. - January 3, 2012 at 5:49 PM

#3: "I have seen the future. It is much like the present, only longer." -- Dan Quisenberry
#4: Sleeping ponies are cute almost by definition. Must be a warm evening for Twilight to kick of her covers.
#7: I love seeing ponies in traditional costumes from around the world, and Fluttershy (much as Rarity and Photo Finish said) is usually the ideal model. This may sound like a minor point, but I actually love how she's not looking at the "camera" in this pic.
#13: A surprisingly effective picture of Derpy in an unusual scene, observing the creation of a firebreak. The artist's comments are quite evocative and thought-provoking (though it is on FurAffinity, for those who care about that).
#15: ... What the flying fickle finger of fate?
#18: I'd love to see a scene like this someday, the teacher and the student fighting some evil side by side.
#22: So how many people have loaded Pinkie Pie onto their iPad?
#24: Great poster for BroNYcon, a clean design with a couple of amusing quotes inspired by the show.
#26: An excellent collection of badges, with well-chosen fonts for each pony. I may even get a few of them myself... - January 3, 2012 at 5:53 PM
- Octavia said...
I'mma be short in my post today.
#3 Ah, yes. The whole Fluttershy can see the future joke. You silly ponies. :P I still really like the outfits they were wearing in the play. Some cool designs. If I could find a custom armor maker to make me that armor... without it costing thousands... lol
#6 And the next scene to this one is probably not a pretty one. lol
#7 D'awwwwww. Korean Fluttershy is so cute. <3 I really like that traditional clothing she's wearing. Very nice.
#8 This really made me feel bad for Trixie. I don't care whether she was stuck up or egotistical. That's still really sad and I wouldn't like to see that happen to anyone. Also, to the person in the dA comments who stated she got ponies killed. Nowhere did it show anyone got even hurt by it. lol Property damage was about it. I don't blame her for the Ursa rampage as much as Snips and Snails stupidity at the time honestly. I like the character Trixie and like to believe underneath her smug exterior, there's a pony who's more nice and honest.
#11 Simply adorable. What are you doing on that balloon, Pinkie? :3
#12 Really lovely, rich and contrasting colors. Love'em.
#14 Derpy really needs to learn how to pack her mailbag better. lol And fly upright. But hey, whatever works for her. She's simply too silly and cute to tell otherwise to. :P
#15 Dat fez. This is what happens when you don't give Dash all the ingredients she asked for on her sandwich. I like the gun being named "Tank". lol
#18 Dang Celestia and Twilight. Twilight's hair is aflame again. I think her power level is... yeah, you know. lol I like to think of Celestia's "power level" being pretty much infinite. Of course, I would suspect Discord being quite powerful too of course. And I believe I see little Luna way up in the background watching from afar.
#20 Yay, Russian Dancing Ponies. I love that PMV and the original song and animation it's based off of. Awesome.
#22 Ah, shoot. A pastel-colored pony crashed through the iPod screen. I hate when that happens. But at the same time, I don't. So conflicting. At least Pinkie looks really happy and excited. :)
#23-25 Yay, BroNYCon. Nice set of posters. Some last minute change of plans looks to have me going now. So I shall be there! I may just dress up as Octavia in my grey suit and pink bow tie. :)
#26 Missing an Octavia badge obviously. ;) Really cute, all of them. Especially like the Luna badge. She looks so cute and shy. <3 - January 3, 2012 at 5:57 PM

I'm sure they're both prepubescent in the show, and it doesn't look like the artist has aged them much.
No doubt the artist meant nothing more than to create a cute series of drawings, but this is one of those cases were, personally, I just can't look past the ages of the portrayed couple. - January 3, 2012 at 6:03 PM
- richfiles said...
9: You know, in some dragon mythology, they are pretty much touted as being able to reproduce with nearly anything. Given the fact that you have multiple Sentient species in and around Equestria, such as Ponies, Buffalo, Zebra, and Mules... Is it that hard of a stretch to imagine that the intellect of these creatures has them all being much closer to each other genetically than one might imagine. Dragons might even have some other mechanism of reproduction, such as adaptive gene insertion, or some weird crazy thing like that...
Or "romance" is magic, I ain't gotta esplain nuttn'. - January 3, 2012 at 6:06 PM
- Travis Smith said...
Technically dragons are quite sentient, but I would highly doubt they would "try" with other species. Ponys would definitely be dinner for most.
Most dragons reproduce through a form of dance between the male an female. Then the female will lay eggs an depending on the way they are incubated, will be male or female.
The artist is just making fun of it - January 3, 2012 at 6:09 PM
- jodyjm13 said...
#1 is Firefly, unless I miss my guess. I'm sure it's a video game reference of some sort, but I have no idea which one. And #18 shows Luna barely visible in the background, so the pony with Celestia is Twilight Sparkle, en fuego.
Where'd you get the new icon? And what's this joke about Fluttershy seeing the future? o.O - January 3, 2012 at 6:14 PM

I missed my guess; quoting Bronyboy's comment on dA, "I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is what happens when Rainbow Dash uses the Animus [in the fanfic Brotherhood of the Moon]." - January 3, 2012 at 6:17 PM
- Retl said...
Not sure where I'm supposed to tell Lulubelle I LOVE YOU for making that pic, so I guess I'll do that here on EqDaily.
Thanks for making and sharing, Lulubelle! It's a fun, adorable, cute picture you've made. #11 - January 3, 2012 at 6:45 PM

@OctaviaThose are just series one! I'm helping Mitti choose the second series! :D

- Harwick said...
Drawfriend time! Plus Michigan in the Sugar Bowl. My evening is set.
1) Not only do we get a Firefly picture, we get an Assassin's Creed Firefly picture. I'm used to seeing Octavia in that get-up... being a fluorescent pink pony probably doesn't help with the stealth. Still, neat composition and scene.
2) I love it when Twilight overloads with magic. Poor little pony.
3) Is this part of a larger work? I've noticed individual panels from comics showing up more often here. Either way, I like this dash and the expression on her face.
4) A long, graceful (if restless) looking Twilight.
5) Very rough in linework and coloring but possessing quite a bit of charm. Of course, those are two mighty charming ponies.
6) I hate it when that happens. Hope he's got some trick up his sleeve. (And for once, a pony actually has sleeves to make that idiom work!)
7) I have no idea if this is a reference to something, but I like the outfit and I love that smile on Fluttershy.
8) Um... Don't worry Trixie... I'm sure that will buff right out.
9) Ah... So she's supposed to be pregnant? Spike came from an egg. Can ponies lay eggs? Actually, I'm not sure I want the answer to that one.
10) Twilight is surely the most adorable element of magic ever. I don't recall... do the cutie-mark shaped element necklaces keep the red, purple, orange, green and cyan color scheme that the gems have here?
11) I like that we can see through the balloon to Pinkie's other leg. Plus, in general, I just like Pinkie.
12) A super colorful Rarity. She's obviously inspired to create something fabulous.
13) I like this one, and the feeling of moment as the wind blows and the fire roars in the distance.
14) Seriously, I would have so many past-due bills if Derpy delivered my mail. Still wouldn't care though. She's too cute.
15) I keep doing the math, but tommy gun+sandwich+fez+Rainbow Dash still doesn't compute to any logical answer. Frankly, I'm shocked enough that those buttons even exist on my calculator. Still, the image is awesome.
16) How can Luna look so sad and so cozy at the same time? I'm freezing... I'd be thrilled to have that scarf.
17) I admit... I love Twilight in glasses.
18) Flame on, Twilight. I love that Pinkie seems to recognize how awesome this moment is.
19) Philomena is a great pet, but you really need to have fresh batteries in all smoke detectors.
20) Hmmm... the Russians have developed Dash technology. Americans still just have dancing Twilight. Clearly there is a pony gap.
21) Sweet picture of Dash to the rescue of Derpy. I just read a scene like this of a duel between the two over the mail in "The Yellow Star". It was pretty awesome, and funny. Now I need some Dash and Derpy co-flight on the show.
22) Suddenly, Pinkie. Actually, is there any other way Pinkie happens? Cute, zany smile.
23) I wish I could be there. I will be in spirit, however. And, apparently, through some artwork for sale.
24) I love Pinkie's tuxedo outfit, both from the Singing Telegram (which is one of my favorite Pinkie songs) and from Peckish Pony.
25) Who wouldn't love to have a personal invitation from the Princess? It'd be twice as awesome if a dragon belched it at you.
26) These are really great... I like the style quite a bit. I think Trixie is my favorite of the bunch. That cape and hat are just such a good design.
Lots of fun images this time. Thanks to the artists for sharing them, and for Seth and EQD for putting this together for our entertainment.
Now if only Michigan could start playing well...
26) - January 3, 2012 at 7:03 PM
- Harwick said...
And yet the tags on the image say "Firefly" and "G1", so I guess he's saying that Dash transforms into
As for the Fluttershy sees the future, the only thing I know of is the bit from the last episode where she says "I can see my future house from here!" upon arriving in the new land. If there was something before that, I don't know. - January 3, 2012 at 7:07 PM

#6 I was playing fallout 3 earlier and had this EXACT experience... I think I said the same expletive as well
But still, Littlepip makes my day<3 - January 3, 2012 at 7:22 PM
- jodyjm13 said...
@Harwick: "Can ponies lay eggs?"
How soon they forget...
Your comment on #1 does make sense. Of course, I'm saying this as someone who's neither played the game nor read the fanfic that is/are being referred to in this pic...
And thanks for the reminder of Fluttershy's line from that play; given Dash's armor in the pic, I have no doubt that's what it's referring to. - January 3, 2012 at 7:30 PM
- Kyronea said...
Well, actually, looking into that picture more? It's part of series, several images of which aren't even on DeviantArt because they're OUTRIGHT PORN of Apple Bloom and Spike together. (Fairly disgusting, actually...I wish I hadn't seen them.)
So the picture definitely shows the two together, as a couple, Apple Bloom pregnant, despite their young ages. Bleh.
Also thank you for letting me know that it was Firefly...I didn't realize that, not being all that familiar with ponies outside of G4. (I'd heard of Firefly, of course, due to her being Lauren Faust's favorite G1 pony, but hearing about her and recognizing her on sight are two different things.) - January 3, 2012 at 7:33 PM
- Harwick said...
I did forget quickly, especially since there was just a comic here at EQD the other day about that egg that Pinkie laid. I believe a Pinkie-Spike hybrid hatched from it, which is doubly disturbing in light of this current artwork. It might have been a mental block out of self-preservation. - January 3, 2012 at 8:07 PM
- Lasimo said...
Thats what I'm saying! I cant believe all this time and they never even put pony models in something as popular to hack as Brawl. At least theres a team working on it now.
Topic related I have nothing cuz didn't look at picture yet. - January 3, 2012 at 8:09 PM
- jodyjm13 said...
That's exactly why I don't investigate drawings that look questionable anymore; I learned my lesson with that Cheerilee pic last week. Normally I'd say any drawing that's safe in and of itself should be allowed here, regardless of the content of images related to it, but I'm really wondering if it's appropriate to post a safe image from a series that includes porn of underage characters. :/ - January 3, 2012 at 8:13 PM
- Sonu Nova said...
Brotherhood of the Moon AND FO:E? The only way this could be better is if Nyx or Puppysmiles were here.
- January 3, 2012 at 8:15 PM
- Harwick said...
Not really looking to defend anything, but I had assumed they were older in #9. Spike is definitely bigger, standing as tall as he does against Big Mac... he looks to be about Twilight's height. And Applebloom seems to have the proportions of the mane six, rather than the very stubby legs of the CMCs... So I personally had read it as future versions of the characters, likely teens. - January 3, 2012 at 8:58 PM
- ViewtifulSteve said...
#9 was cute, until I did a little investigation work on its context. Oh god, I need a lobotomy.
#6 and #15 are hilarious though. - January 3, 2012 at 9:05 PM

Thanks for the compliments on my BroNYcon posters! I was honored when Purple Tinker asked me to design them for her. I'm told they will be for sale at the convention.
If you're planning on going to BroNYcon and haven't already RSVP'ed, then you better get there early. The convention space is maxed out and the organizers had to cap pre-registration at *650* (more than DOUBLE the first BroNYcon, four months ago). There MAY be up to 100 more memberships at the door, but at this point I guess they can't guarantee that they'll be able to admit any more people. Your best bet is to get there before 10am on Saturday.
Good luck, everypony! - January 3, 2012 at 9:13 PM

True, they are drawn older, though it's hard to tell exactly how much older. And I hope no one will judge me too harshly if I decline to investigate the matter further. It's possible to see Spike and Apple Bloom as being older teenagers in that particular series; I personally think they don't look that old in #9, but I should have been more careful with my phrasing in my previous comment and not made it read as though there's no other interpretation of that artwork. (Probably I'm being paranoid after that Cheerilee pic, which was fanart for a tumblr that portrays Cheerilee in just such a light...) - January 3, 2012 at 9:35 PM

I don't blame you, which is why I'm not going to ask about whichever Cheerilee one it was. I like to keep my internet innocence wherever possible.
To change the subject, I too would love to see Twilight and Celestia fighting side-by-side someday as in #18. I know the show isn't really set up for that kind of thing, but they stretched quite a bit in this season's opening and perhaps they could go further in later seasons (if we get them.)
Regardless, I'd love to see Celestia get a large role in any episode, beyond being used for exposition dumps. - January 3, 2012 at 9:50 PM

You're better off that way, yes.
As for seeing an action scene like #18, well, Lauren Faust wanted to have a balance between slice-of-life stories and action-oriented stories; #18 doesn't look like it's too intense or violent for the target audience, so however unlikely such an epic scene would be I wouldn't completely discount the possibility.
And yes, I would dearly love to see Celestia take a prominent role in an episode someday, whether it's a chance for her to show her power or it's something more lighthearted. - January 3, 2012 at 10:09 PM

A good drawfriend.
My favourites were
#4 Becuase of it's different style and of course it's also cute.
#5 Something about the colouring, I really liked it.
#25 And by "requests" I really mean "commands" get over there you lot. - January 3, 2012 at 10:29 PM

#18 - That epic "End of Cell Saga when Gohan nuked the shit outta Cell with the spirit of Goku backing him up" picture. Twilight getting ready to kamehameha Discord like a BAWSS!

lol at #6. From how much evil and lack of humor is in that fic (yes there is some but the dark well overpowers it), having one that is more like a parody just made my day at 3 in the morning. Yes I say parody because 1, she has a metal detector and 2, she looks more annoyed than worried, which as sated previously is the reaction of most FO players. oh and the sign pointing out the obvious right behind her :)

Yes, my curiosity has certainly led me to...unfortunate discoveries at times.
Still, I think it was worth looking into, if only because I could warn others away from doing so and spare them the pain. - January 4, 2012 at 7:07 AM

The home of surrealism, Belgium is a fascinating country, with two languages French and Flemish and two atmospheres to experience. Take in the cobbled lanes of diamond-capital Antwerp and chocoholic Brussels, pausing for a Lambic beer in medieval squares. Escape to the country in the Ardennes' wooded tracks and trails. And make time for the poignant First World War battlefields of Flanders. Be invigorated on the sandy beaches and dunes of the Flemish coast, and the leafy waterways that criss-cross the country. And don't forget to try Belgium's famous beer and chocolate.
Explore the French-speaking Wallonia region located in the south of Belgium. Flemish (similar to Dutch) is the main language in Flanders, which occupies the northern part of the country. You might want to learn a few words but most residents of Brussels speak very good English. A string of resorts and the ports Ostend and Zeebrugge line Belgium's 40 miles of North Sea coastline. Inland, you'll discover picturesque Belgian cities and towns with well-preserved medieval architecture.
Brussels is famous for its swirling Art Nouveau style, epitomised by architect Victor Horta you can even visit his house, la Maison Horta. Close to the capital, the university town of Leuven is packed with breweries, bars and restaurants. Admire Antwerp with its striking Renaissance Old Town, best viewed from the River Scheldt. Savour a fresh seafood meal then have a flutter at the casino in Ostend, which celebrates the fancy-dress Dead Rat Ball every March. Explore the web of canals in romantic Bruges, and the waterways and medieval architecture of Ghent. Or travel south to artistic Lige, the fortified centre of Namur and the gothic splendour of Mons. Pamper yourself in the healing waters of Spa.
Set your own pace and walk or cycle along hundreds of miles of footpaths and disused railway lines in the Ardennes. Enjoy boating along Belgium's canals and waterways. Wander the windswept sand dunes and beaches lining the Flemish coast. Visit the Zwin, nature reserve near Knokke-Heist and enjoy a gourmet meal at a rural restaurant. Contemplate the tragic loss of life at Flanders' World War I battlefields.

OKWhile on vacation and driving the length of California back up from San Diego I downloaded this book for my family to listen to as we drove the long slog of I5. What a great choice!!! My 5 year old daughter was engrossed by this story and did not speak a peep for 6 hours straight as we drove the last 400 miles from Northern Cali to Washington. My wife was also engrossed and for the first time on that vacation I was able to experience a bit of quiet, the whole family quietly listened to the antics of Ramona and enjoyed her little story.
About the story itself...I never read these books as a child so was unfamiliar with them when I started. Basically this series follows the growth of a precocious little girl, named Ramona, and all her little innocent escapades as she grows up. The first book starts with Ramona age 4 and each subsequent book she is a year older. (well.. at least so far, we have only gotten through 4 books) Nothing huge happens here, no monsters need defeating, no saving the world, just little Ramona trying to learn how to grow up and be a good person. Her trials are things like not being sure her kindergarten teacher likes her, or dealing with the fallout of a bad tantrum. They are small things, but they are told beautifully and I actually think my 5 (soon to be 6) year old daughter enjoyed them all the more because she could so well relate to the feelings (and trials) Ramona was having and experiencing. As adults, my wife and I found the stories endearing and funny as the exploits of Ramona are very familiar to anybody who has had (or has) young children. Ms. Channing's performance is wonderful, and she really brings to life all the characters. I highly recommend this series for anybody with young children. One thing though, Ms. Cleary sometimes gives away (or almost) the secrets of things like Santa Claus/tooth fairy/etc... Early in this series Ramona loses a tooth and Ms. Cleary alludes to (but does not actually explicitly reveal) Daddy being the actual tooth fairy, that part takes about 2 min....you can easily see it coming and you may want to skip ahead if you want to make sure that you can preserve that little fiction.
I purchased this book for my 5 Year old daughter and I to listen to while in the car (I can only take so much Lady Gaga). This is a delightful story that had my daughter (and myself) engrossed. Be forewarned, it bear very little..if any..resemblance to the movie. My daughter tells me that we did see the movie, and that it was indeed very different. If it is the movie I think I remember, well then about the only thing in common with the book is the name of the lead character and the group of Vikings (if that). The book is actually much better in my mind, and a better story for children as it teaches that sometimes what people call "ordinary" can in fact be "extraordinary" and that appearances can be deceiving. In other words, the story is about an "ordinary" boy who becomes a hero, despite what his peers say to him. A great story. Highly recommend it.
OK...this is one of those books that adults are going to have to sit through. As an adult, this book is too simplistic and clearly geared to young children to really be enjoyable. That being said, it is not a torture to listen to it. My daughter on the other hand LOVED it, she talked about it all the time, and she even teased/reassured her younger sister that she was not so quite as "naughty" as the namesake of the book. Indeed, this is the first book that she "rated" herself...she literally told me how many stars I should rate this book when she saw me on the website.
One of the nice things about this book is that the chapters are nicely divided by "story", each chapter is a stand-alone little story about "my naughty little sister" and what she and her friends were up to. I think my daughter liked the book so much because these stories were simple, realistic, and (I suspect) possibly true. She is able to relate to the stories very well, and I think it made her feel better to realize that little sisters are the same the world over. I do recommend this book, and my daughter highly recommends it.
Husband, father, nurse, geek culture affianado, tech junkie, late-blooming history lover, armchair theologist, Lego enthusiast, and follower of Christ.
The narration in this story is outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and was pleased to learn how true to the story Disney's "The Sword in the Stone" movie acutally was. The rest of the story focuses the affair between Lancelot and Guinevere. The moments when Arthur comes into the story are touching and my favorite parts, but they are few and far between. There are also several great side stories along the way that make it worth reading.
The final book, as others have said is completely different. It doesn't really add anything to the story. It's interesting, but only if you are really into sociopolitical theory, anthropology, and biology. That doesn't make sense to you? Give it a try and see what I mean.

Medina, OH
Overview of Medina
Visiting downtown Medina's historic square is like taking a charming step back in time. However, living there is even more exciting because it is one of the fastest growing areas in northeastern Ohio. Medina is a tight-knit community with a population of less than 27,000, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. With its close proximity to many interstates and urban centers, Ohioans are drawn to Medina apartments for rent as an ideal place to live.
Living in Medina, OH
One need only glance at one of the can see in the many Victorian buildings throughout the downtown square that this city has a storied history. Founded in 1816 and incorporated in 1835, the city saw its rise because of its close proximity to the Erie Canal, a major public works project that connected the Midwest to the metropolitan areas of the Northeast states.
The city has a history of being a safe haven on the Underground Railroad during the days leading up to the Civil War. It is estimated that nearly 1,000 slaves passed through Medina on their way to freedom in the North. The city continued to grow in the 1900s due to its industrial prowess. Well into the 20th century, the city became known for carriage production and mill farming.
Once the railroad came into the area and the neighborhoods around the Great Lakes began to sprawl, Medina began a shift into the future. During World War II, the city was responsible for building warships and artillery. After the war, many veterans came into the area and built homes with aid from the GI Bill. In the 1990s, Medina experienced the bulk of its residential growth, transforming the area from an industrial park into a thriving and prosperous community.
Medina Work and Study
Medina is home to many universities and trade schools, including an extension office of Ohio State University, one of the largest and well-respected public institutions in the country. However, the city is home to several smaller schools as well. One of the most popular is Walsh University, a private college on a 136-acre campus that offers undergraduate degrees in a variety of fields. The Medina County Career Center offers convenient adult learning classes for those looking to revamp their career. Students seeking Medina apartments for the fall or spring semesters should get a jumpstart on finding their perfect pad early, since rentals near campus tend to get rented out quickly.
The bulk of the workforce in Medina is in car production which explains why the top employer in the city is Friction Products, a brake, fuel cell and clutch manufacturer. However, there are several other industries in the area, including plastics, food production and roofing manufacturing.
Rentals in Medina, OH and Cost of Living
Medina enjoys a cost of living that is 4 points below the national average, according to city-data.com. Based on statistics from 2009, the median gross rent in the area was $724 per month. Since the median household income in the area is around $15,000 more than the rest of Ohio, Medina could be considered one of the most affordable places in the state to live.
Medina Attractions and Special Events
Residents of Medina don't have to travel down to Texas for a true rodeo experience. Buckin' Ohio is a ranch that features professional bull riding from cowboys all over the country ready to show off their skills. With fun for all ages, this is a great way to be a part of the agricultural community of Medina County.
The Midwest is a beautiful sight in the fall and it also one of the best times to experience some of Medina's most popular festivals. Every autumn, the city hosts the Medina Beer Fest, featuring craft beers from around the country for you to taste. Another popular event is the Halloween Harvest Festival. Complete with a corn maze, trick or treating and costume contests. These events offer residents a great opportunity to get involved in the community.

Boeing 787 fleet grounded indefinitely as investigators stumped
Boeing's flagship fleet of 787 Dreamliner aircraft will be grounded for the foreseeable future after a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said the cause of two battery fires had yet to be found, and that Japanese investigators are similarly baffled. "We have not ruled anything out as a …
Re: Good news
So the product can be crap, maybe even dangerous, but as long as a bunch of technically unqualified clerks can verify that the paperwork has all been competed correctly, it gets to fly?
There's a sort of balance here. I seem to remember Boeing were being total cnuts when Airbus were having problems with their first fly-by-wire plane.
Airbus introduced side sticks whereas Boeing continued to have a yoke.
The Americans prefer something big between their legs......
"I seem to remember Boeing were being total cnuts when Airbus were having problems with their first fly-by-wire plane."
From what I hear things are different in the aero engine business. Apparently there's a tradition of the major players helping each other out when big, disastrous, and difficult to solve problems occur. Sort of along the lines of it being better for all concerned that all aero engines are seen as reliable. Ya-booing the competition just because their engine shafts keep cracking and letting all the hot bits fly out the back isn't going to fill the public with confidence in the industry as a whole.
Airbus are probably being carefully tight-lipped on Boeing's battery problem. They're planning on using Li-ion batteries too, I think...
Boeing have certainly gone very quite on all the statements they made about carbon fiber planes when an American Airlines pilot tried to do a handbrake turn in an Airbus A300 and broke the tail off.
Ironically this is also the only Airbus model that has direct Boeing-style controls that allowed the pilot to break it - rather than a computer that would have stopped him
Well I will add a caveat to your comment. Commercial airliners are mostly yoke though the C-17 made by Boeing is a stick but yes its still between their legs.
"The Americans prefer something big between their legs......"
If AF447 had been a Boeing, it might have survived for that reason. Instead the co-pilot crashed it by keeping the plane's nose up using his little widger, which probably wasn't evident to the captain....
and the lack of coupling between the side sticks was responsible in part for the Airbus crash in the Atlantic.
The captain was unaware of what the co pilot was actually doing..
Airbus side-sticks
You're both wrong I'm afraid.
The pilot can very well see the deflections and movements of the side-stick on one of the panels (the F/CTL page of the EFIS see also: http://a340gc.iradis.org/gallery/fctl_large.gif )
And don't forget that the pilots have a priority button and can wrest control from their opposite number at any time they wish.
To see a similar occasion when a stick was improperly configured and how a quick witted first officer took over and saved the day. (Google Lufthansa's "Papa-Whiskey" A320-200 incident report)
Li-Ion is the Compact Fluorescent of battery technologies
Until the boffins come up with something better, revert to NiMH and just suck it up regarding the weight penalty. It doesn't look like a very large assembly.
is it that simple?
My question would be is this the "only" LI-ION battery pack on board the plane, because if it isn't, then swapping out for another chemistry could be a lot more awkward.
To me it all seems very strange, because all this stuff gets tested and tested and tested. How come it didn't crop up in the tests?
Re: is it that simple?
Just like software, a lot of stuff doesn't go casters-up until it hits production, for whatever reason.
Re: is it that simple?
"To me it all seems very strange, because all this stuff gets tested and tested and tested. How come it didn't crop up in the tests?"
It certainly does get tested time and again. So a follow on question is "is the test the right test?
The following is pure speculation on my part, but this sort of thing happens time and time again.
It's possible that neither Boeing nor their supplier really know what the battery's specification ought to be. They may have re-used the shock, vibe, heat and electrical spec for an older trusted battery type. However, it might be that that old battery design significantly outperformed that public declared spec, and by good fortune alone has survived the test of time. However, any new battery designed exactly to that spec with no margin beyond would not be fit for service in the same conditions.
It would be astonishing if this were actually the case. Boeing are pretty good and careful engineers, and I imagine that the conditions in the electronics bay are actually quite benign. The electrical spec is probably harsher than 'normal', but that would be very easy to measure and quantify.
However we are in a situation where apparently everyone is expressing bafflement as to why the 787 batteries are failing. It could be explained by the spec being wrong in the first place.
Re: revert to NiMH and just suck it up regarding the weight penalty
I don't think its going to be as simple as that. Caveat - I haven't studied this in detail, but Aeroplane design is rather complicated, and if you're going to rip out the batteries and put in something larger and heavier you're going to have to find somewhere to put something larger and heavier, and then redesign everything that connects to the batteries to cope with the new location, and then deal with all the weight distribution changes and and and... Its not as if you can just remove a couple of passenger seats at the end of the cabinand replace them with a battery compartment and run a couple of heavy duty leads from where the old location was...
Re: is it that simple?
I think that is what all the investigation is all about.
Re: revert to NiMH and just suck it up regarding the weight penalty
Remember, the *brakes* have to work if the engines are stopped, the APU won't come on and all you have left is a Ram Air Turbine that charges at a higher speed than you want to touch down at -- and batteries more depleted every second. If I have this right, that leaves Lithium.
But I could be wrong.
battery cooling
I saw a picture of a new battery system and my immediate reaction was the cells seems awful close. Then I came across an article that talked all about active cooling of this type of battery. From the photo I saw, I didn't see any active cooling.
Re: battery cooling
I cant speak to this particular battery but in many aircraft its just a small cooling duct that enters the back of the part from the air conditioning system. They are not always very big. That being said though AC doesnt generally run on the ground and it may just be a small ducted cooling fan which doesnt help a ton if the area is already 35C+
Re: battery cooling
I've been wondering about thermal management in that bay, is it pressurized, if not, how does thinner air affect the thermal management?
Re: battery cooling
Another thing to think about is the AC cooling is driven by the engines. When the battery is most needed, guess which component is most likely not running?
Re: battery cooling
" is it pressurized, "
Generally the whole of the inside of the fuselage is pressurised.
It's very difficult to make a tube where the bit the passengers are in is pressurised but a thin floor away is a cargo hold that isn't. The exception is some planes where you want to open the cargo bay doors in flight - for those special deliveries.
The airlines themselves don't seem to understand this and used to tell you not to put certain items in the checked baggage because they might be damaged by the lack of pressure.
The only difference is that the cargo hold isn't heated (except for the bits you put pets or sleeping crew in)
flame on
The root cause of this will be the same as most of the other giant cock ups that make the news world wide. Baby boomer management.
Re: flame on
More likely, as with most other giant project cock ups, to be down to older Gen X "managers".
These are the people with MBAs and a qualification in a soft subject, who took over the management of engineering and development from the older baby boomer and pre-war generation engineers and scientists.
Their main motivation tends to be short-term stock gains to obtain massive bonuses for themselves and their sociopathic C-level bosses at the expense of the longer-term future.
Re: flame on
Yeah, well, the reasoned response of any engineer to an MBA is 'shoot on sight'. MBA schools have been turning people out for years who seem to think that if something has a number associated with it, it is both understood and being managed by the said MBA.
Someone who gets an MBA after twenty years' experience in business probably has something to contribute. Someone who tags it on in an extra year straight after a Bachelor's? I'm not convinced. There's a difference between 'taught' education and practical experience.
Re: flame on
"There's a difference between 'taught' education and practical experience."
That should be "There's a difference between 'bought' education and practical experience."
There may be some good MBA's out there but the ones I've had experience of seemed to think they'd paid their ticket and they owned the right to manage.
It was the most profound advert for universal free education I've ever had.
Re: flame on....Baby boomer management.
With a slight correction:
Baby boomer manage damagement.
if they go and use Lithium cobalt oxide batteries in aircraft, then its no surprise they catch fire.... normal Li-on are bad enough... a weight saving measure too far... accountants rule engineers again
i agree that its kids running things probably
"i agree that its kids running things probably"
You really think that all the good stuff in the 787 came from engineers,and all the bad stuff was foisted on them by accountants and kiddy MBA's? Couldn't possibly be that the experienced and highly qualified staff of Boeing know that they are in business to make money, and actually work together, take both engineering and commercial risks to get new stuff off the ground? And that the engineers know full well (without an accountant in their shirt pocket) that there isn't an unlimited budget or time?
Sometimes things work, sometimes they don't, and rarely is it because the pencils have been bent by the accountants. Airbus had a range of issues with the A380, and with the A400M - keep going back and you'll get to the Comet,and I'm sure there were plenty of other civil aviation engineering failures before that.
Baffled inspectors
I predict that once they pull ALL of the LiON batteries out of service (along with their histories stored in NVRAM), they'll figure it out pretty quickly. With two out of a hundred batteries having gone up in smoke already, I'll venture a guess that there are a few others out there with internal damage, but not to the point of runaway yet. And that damage will be easier to spot if its not in the middle of some melted goo.
The problem is: How to get the used batteries back to the NTSB lab. Show of hands for any cargo carriers willing to load one of these into their hold. Better to put them on a slow boat from China (Japan?).
Re: Baffled inspectors
In that case, why not test them in place?
Re: Baffled inspectors
If they are effectively isolated and haven't already exploded, there is small chance that they will.
What Boeing needs is a guy like Jobs
I remember, when videos of smoking iThingies were circulating, Jobs pronounced that his stuff wasn't burning or catching fire.
Boeing could do the same, then everything will be OK.
Colour me Airbus.
'Diversity' in the 787.
Boeing like any other corporation isn't adverse to outsourcing however the reason that the parts for the 787 are so widely sourced is that so many non-US companies and governments want skin in the aeronautics game and it would be safe to assume that those countries would be buying fewer 787s if their interests weren't gratified.
In this case, the battery is Japanese-made but subcontracted by the French firm Thales who's responsible for the broader electrical system. I believe the battery's electronic control logic is by a US firm Securaplane which is a subsidiary of the British engineering firm Meggitt.
The wide sourcing was a logistical nightmare and bore much of the responsibility for delays in the plane's delivery. Boeing eventually take some key parts of the work back in-house.
Re: 'Diversity' in the 787.
"The wide sourcing was a logistical nightmare and bore much of the responsibility for delays in the plane's delivery. Boeing eventually take some key parts of the work back in-house."
Publicly this is received wisdom, and focuses on the failures. But the A380 was similarly late and similarly over budget despite being relatively traditionally sourced. I would guess that there's plenty of things that have actually worked really well, and Boeing may have learnt lessons that will help it in future. I'd be very surprised if the lesson was "make everything, buy nothing", and would guess that the lesson is more about keeping on top of sub contractor performance, not subbing work that is too complex, and proper sharing of risk and return.
cosy cosy cosy
Batteries are GS Yuasa (Japan) integrated by Thales (France) supplying the power conditioning electronics.
Airbus is hoping it is the batteries that are the cause of 787 problems-- (Airbus is using [planning to use] Saft for the A350, Eads would never use Japanese batteries if there were a Euro supplier now would they? No more than Boeing would use a Euro battery supplier when most of Japan flies Boeing... scratchy scratchy). If it turns out to be partly the electronics, well, Thales of France supplies both Airbus and Boeing... although Airbus isn't flying yet with decent size LiIon so they might have dodged a bullet in this case. Otherwise those A350s would end up grounded too. Trailing the market has its advantages.
Re: cosy cosy cosy
If you look at the content of semi-equivalent modern Boeing/Airbus aircraft (which means the 787 and the A350), you'll find that there's no obvious nationalism going on, because the customer of those aircraft are the not at all nationalistic (should Airbus ignore their huge US order book? Should Boeing ignore their European customer base?)
There are some very strange things in the world of commercial aerospace: for example, I believe that the main gear for the US 787 is manufactured in France, while that of the Franco/German A350 is from the US... part of the issue is capacity: if company X got the business for one type, then company Y may be better placed for the next simply because of the workload. So if Boeing awarded the business to a French company, then Airbus may discover that the best supplier happens to be someone in Boeing's back yard...
Re: cosy cosy cosy
In aerospace what you are discussing is called offsetting. All major aircraft manufacturers do it, they have to in order to sell planes.
If the manufacturer won't let, say Japan, build a major component/system they will order their planes from the competitor. Offsets and country of origin financing are what really make big aircraft deals, not technology.
Re: cosy cosy cosy
There is no question of national interests interfering in a commercial Airline's business !
It just happens that no US airline, in receipt of lots of US government aid, chooses to fly Airbus.
And there was no link between BA choosing to buy some Airbusses and getting more landing slots in CDG.
The main reason for Airbus building the A380 is to stop airlines having to buy Boeing if they need a 400+ seat plane.
"...a custom design Boeing outsourced to Japanese manufacturer GS Yuasa..."
...whose executives are currently curled up in the fetal position behind their toilets, sweating bullets, murmuring, and rocking back and forth.
68 lbs of the new battery...
What is the weight of the older battery arrangement?
As for the savings Boeing is highlighting, is that over a flight or per aircraft lifetime?
Considering how much junk and extra luggage passengers can still get onboard, I wonder how much difference it is in using the new batteries.
This is a worrying tale which pours fuel on the fire and would have one asking serious questions of Boeing and the FAA ...... http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2020199686_787batterysafetyxml.html
Re: Hmmm?
Good link - horrifying but interesting. To summarise, Boeing expect a certain proportion of the LiON batteries to catch fire and got approval from the FAA for a system that lets the fire burn itself out and vents the smoke out of the aircraft. They hope that the heat will not damage adjacent subsystems. Most pilots think this is insane - I agree.
Re: Hmmm?
It would be cool to have a "burning battery eject" mechanism on the plane. Shurely 50 years of nuke madness and trickery of unloading bomb bays have given us the required skills?
Re: Hmmm?
No doubt, but there is that small issue of a flaming battery pack being ejected somewhere inconvenient.
Like whilst parked on the tarmac or flying over populated areas.
it's not the loss of battery
it's the loss of power to whatever it feeds in an inflight emergency that would scare me. I cannot see any situation where a loss of one out of two batteries whilst on a long flight makes any sense in safety.
Can you imagine the pilot announcing "sorry about the smell, one of our two emergency batteries just caught fire and melted all over the electronics", on a flight crossing the Atlantic when they are halfway across.
Xantia's or XMs were a nightmare."
As a longtime and high mileage Xantia owner (4 to be precise); can I say they proved far more reliable than that paragon of German engineering & reliablity ; the VW Golf. My C5 and X-Picasso are similarly trouble free - I cannot believe that I have been SO lucky
Half of the resale price bit is due to Peugeot/Citroen discounting new prices so much.
Brits also never liked the hydropneumatic suspension (best bit ever and around since late '50s). Odd when it seems good enough for Rolls-Royce (most of which is Citroen parts..)
How long has the 787 been in service...?
"One of these events alone is serious; two of them in close proximity, especially in an airplane model with only about 100,000 flight hours, underscores the importance of getting to the root cause of these incidents."
So, 100,000 'flight hours' - I'm no expert so pardon my ignorance, but I will assume these hours mean time in the air. 100,000 flight hours would equate to almost 11 and a half YEARS in the air...
According to Wikipedia, the 787 was first unveiled on July the 8th, 2007.
No wonder the batteries got hot an exploded, perhaps the flux capacitor was drawing too much current, with the time travel and whatnot....?!
Re: How long has the 787 been in service...?
Eleven and a half years for one aircraft - maybe there's more than one?
"In order to supply enough power, the aircraft depends on its battery packs"
So the Boeing 787 flies on batteries then ?
Somehow I don't find that very reassuring.
Re: "In order to supply enough power, the aircraft depends on its battery packs"
Especially if the bit of red ribbon gets stuck underneath and so in mid-fligth you need to extract 100,000 AA batteries with the end of a pencil.

Responding to questions as to how long it had known about the horsemeat issue, Findus said it had only been alerted by Comigel in a letter dated 2 February.
That letter had made Findus "aware of a possible August 2012 date" for the contamination, the company said.
British retailer Aldi said it had also withdrawn two of its products, a beef lasagna and spaghetti bolognese, after supplier Comigel "flagged concerns that the products do not conform to specification."
While horsemeat is not itself a food safety hazard, its unauthorized presence -- in quantities up to 100% -- in foods purported to be made with beef has raised serious concerns.
Comigel has not yet responded to CNN requests for comment.
Chief among food inspectors' concerns is that the illicit horsemeat could contain the veterinary drug phenylbutazone, or "bute," commonly used to treat horses.
Meat from animals treated with phenylbutazone is not allowed to enter the food chain as it may pose a risk to human health.
Findus has been ordered to test the lasagna withdrawn from shelves in the United Kingdom for the drug's presence.
Aldi said in a statement that tests on random samples of its affected products, labeled Today's Special Frozen Beef Lasagne and Today's Special Frozen Spaghetti Bolognese, "demonstrated that the withdrawn products contained between 30% and 100% horse meat.
"This is completely unacceptable and like other affected companies, we feel angry and let down by our supplier. If the label says beef, our customers expect it to be beef."

I have installed Linux Mint 14.1-Cinnamon on an ExoPC tablet (x86). I find that it works great! And I especially like the fact that I can enlarge the bottom panel to make it larger for touchscreen use. I also have the virtual keyboard enabled via the Accessibility applet, which works great after logging in.
But, there is no way to enable Accessibility options like the virtual keyboard at the login screen. This is all that is really needed to use Mint on a tablet. I use openSUSE 12.2-Gnome on a different x86 tablet, and that has the ability to enable Accessibility options at the boot screen. Is there any way I can make the virtual keyboard appear at the login screen?
Don't bother suggesting I use auto-login, as that is not a solution or even a work-around. Only fools (and Windows users) leave their systems unprotected, especially something portable and easily stolen like a tablet.
If anyone is interested on the tweaks I had to do after installing openSUSE on an x86 tablet, you can read my thread about it here:
