The Wall street Journal Reports on the Pony Phenomenon
For the past few months, someone from The Wallstreet Journal has been gathering information from all over the fandom, including attending actual meetups and digging through our piles of Youtube videos. The article has finally popped up on the website, and you can definitely tell it was well researched. They did a good job of standing on neutral ground (something we struggle with here on EQD all the time!), and represented the subculture with much higher standards than most of the media tends to use on us.
Find the article here!
And for those you you who were around this morning when I created that PMV Callout post, this was the reason! Grats Venture Ponies on that one.

I'm glad it's not negative. The WSJ has a history of poking the hive of fanbases. I remember one particularly nasty article about anime then more recently one disparaging Young Adult novels.

Pretty good NOT COMPLETELY BASHING ON BRONIES AND ALL THINGS RELATED article

Now we just need Colbert or John to do a (hopefully positive) story on us.

Read it and I have to say they did a nice job, actually going to meet-ups, but I guess I can only read about a fandom I'm a part of so many times before I just start to see the same thing over again. Yup. that's us alright.

It was a pretty well done article, I especially like the slideshow.
The only small nitpick I would have is with the Hasbro spokeswoman's quote. It seemed a little too dry. Why not something like "We're happy to see people of all ages enjoy our shows." - November 3, 2011 at 10:47 PM
- TGPFluttershy said...
Well what do you know, my name actually made it to the article (Ohad Kanne) :)
I have to admit, that reporter was really nice and polite, she sat with us at the restaurant, went to our Berkeley raids (missed on the Emeryville raids though) and asked the right questions, although I do feel a little misquoted in a way since I did mention to her that Lauren Faust created the show for kids AND their parents in mind and did cite some adult references.
I'm just glad that it wasn't negative. - November 3, 2011 at 10:48 PM

small group of fans?
we're way way way larger than a small group. <_< - November 3, 2011 at 10:51 PM

"They've spawned at least two Pony-themed websites"
Two, huh? Think you may be missing acouple zeros on the end of that number. :P
He also used the term "Pegasisters". lol I still dislike that term, I'm sorry.
Other than that, the article was alright overall. - November 3, 2011 at 10:51 PM
- RichiePops said...
Yay for good publicity! And congrats to the bronies repping us as well as the WSJ for the good article. We're making a good impression on the world ^.^ /)(\ ^.^

Thank you WSJ, for doing such a professional job.
And extra thanks to those who were interviewed for it, for doing such a great job in representing us. Definitely a win for the community. - November 3, 2011 at 10:51 PM

Hehey, cool, I'm rather featured on that first slideshow pic. ^^

To me, I was surprised at learning that Seth is only 23...
Most bronies in my City are usually 18 or 28...
There's never anyone my age... - November 3, 2011 at 10:52 PM

Wait, so Sethisto lives in AZ? O.o I have friends that live in Glendale!
- November 3, 2011 at 10:54 PM
- Bombedrumbum said...
I already knew that he lived in AZ (from what he said concerning the heat at BronyCon), but Shaun Scotellaro, that's news to me

For an article published on the internet, I'm surprised by how short it is. There's all the reason and space to go quite in-depth, but instead this article might as well have been reporting on an interest in watching paint dry. FiM and it's fandom together are the biggest meme-generator on the internet, and the creative outpouring of fan-related stuff might set a few world records if anyone recorded such things. Neither of these purely-informational points even show up, and there's plenty more that could have been included also.
A nice, concise, well written and neutral article? Yes. Something that's the product of months of study? Not at all. - November 3, 2011 at 10:56 PM
- Renfield said...
A well-written report. Not too bad. This is hopefully the start of being more recognized and, dare I say it?, being put in the same league as other "well-respected super fans" like Otakus, Trekkies and Jedis?
- November 3, 2011 at 10:56 PM
- Prozzak said...
Pegisisters should really be shortened to Pegisis
but that's just me
Well that is one good article if I do say so myself - November 3, 2011 at 10:57 PM
- Overheat said...
Good article. We are a small group compared to, say, a fandom that everyone has heard of, Star Trek et al.

I love how it bagged on Hasbro for putting out terribly inaccurate toys.

Is this the first objective review we've gotten from a large news source? Well done indeed.

Well, Seth.
We all know your real name, now.
Eeyup. - November 3, 2011 at 11:04 PM

...Err, even the less diligent ones among us, too, I mean.
- November 3, 2011 at 11:05 PM

Yeah, every time I see Seth's name I think of Scootaloo, which is a good thing, because Scootaloo is best pony.

- Pixel Coder said...
I don't like the term "pegasister" either. I'm a freakin' unicorn, not a pegasus! I would rather have had "filly" catch on. But whatever. This article is still leagues better than the other media coverage we've had in the past.

FOX News and now the Wall Street Journal.
Rupert Murdoch is a brony. - November 3, 2011 at 11:09 PM

And yet another article that never includes the simple sentence "a surprisingly well written show".
You might think it should go without saying, but they never actually mention that supposedly the show is good. - November 3, 2011 at 11:11 PM

Yes, they never credit the voice actors or the singing voices either.
They need some love too. - November 3, 2011 at 11:14 PM

I like it, well written.
I don't want to be a dumb, but:
"...and represented the subculture with much higher standards than most..."
wait, bronies = fandom/community/group fan, "subculture" sounds like too much for me, in my opinion. - November 3, 2011 at 11:18 PM

Semi-positive (at very least non-negative) media coverage? It's... beautiful...
- November 3, 2011 at 11:25 PM
- RanYakumo said...
You have to keep in mind that the Wall Street Journal is mainly a serious news and business newspaper, and not quite a "internet culture report" sort of thing. I know this because I try to read the Wall Street Journal whenever I'm at the campus library. It's my oasis of relaxation in the harsh desert of college life.
It was short, but I'd rather have a short, well written article than a long one that sucks or overstays its welcome. - November 3, 2011 at 11:33 PM

Oh boy... Are we gonna start referring to Seth by his real name now?
I mean, we've known his real name for what, ever since the Wiki page was up in April or something?
Besides, I use my real name in my username - let's people make fun of me since my name's synonymous with an annoying ass fairy - or a really tough boss from Street Fighter III - November 3, 2011 at 11:47 PM
- G Whoves said...
It's nice to see that the Wall street Journal actually did some research on what they were reporting. unlike that other so called new station *cough cough* (fox news) at least now people can see us for what we are. Fans of a wonderful show that teaches good morals. LOVE AND TOLERANCE FOR ALL.

His real name actually sounds like a pony alias.
Shaun Scootaloo. - November 3, 2011 at 11:58 PM

I can't believe people didn't already know Seth's real name since it's been in several articles for months now. lol

- Venbrou said...
Do you people realize what this means??? Major media sources are starting to take us seriously. The world is getting more and more curios about us. I'm not going to say that the whole world is going to become fans of MLP, but I do sincerely believe we are watching the beginning of a massive reform on the way masculinity is viewed in the western hemisphere. Once that happens, the generation that grows up afterwards will have little difference between male and female interests.
So in thirty to forty years, there will be no distinction between masculinity and feminism. And we will all be here to watch it every step of the way.... - November 4, 2011 at 12:08 AM
- thattagen said...
There's a bit of a "these guys are strange" slant to it, seeing as it tries to assert that the show is actually for little girls (it's true, but a small detail), and that Sethisto lives with his parents. Plus a few other word choice bits that irked me a bit.
But I've read worse. I guess I generally approve... - November 4, 2011 at 12:08 AM
- Cyl said...
Knowyourmeme is calling us a subculture. I have no problems with it. I'd say it's still around the fandom level though. In the end I don't think it really matters.
I like the article. It was honest. I appreciated that it was mentioned that it had nothing to do with our sexuality. Finally someone who gets it. - November 4, 2011 at 12:20 AM

That was amazingly well read, a very nice viewpoint on us Bronies.
- November 4, 2011 at 12:24 AM

"4chan, a website that largely draws geeky, tech-savvy guys"
The writers should've done a better job describing 4chan because I don't think you can understand Bronies without first understanding 4chan.
A lot of the Brony culture comes from 4chan culture. - November 4, 2011 at 12:24 AM
- WWRDD? said...
This makes me WAY more than Happy Now I can Brag to my friends (non Brony) that in a way Wall Street Respects us!! I Thought It was a well balanced article and I also have to bring up that I love how they bashed on Hasbro for making the toys inaccurate! LOL Well one Step Closer to WORLD DOMINATION!!!! /(^3^)\

- Aynine said...
Nice report of the fanbase. I don't see how we come off as creepy. It's no more creepy than being a fan of something else unusual. For example: Buckethead fans are typically called bots. Buckethead himself is quite eerie and eccentric in his performances and moniker, but it's not strange at all.
- November 4, 2011 at 12:26 AM
- Malsententia said...
I would beg to differ. Brony culture has outgrown and expanded far outside of 4chan to the point where the majority of Bronies are not 4channers.
Frankly the fandom should do its best to distance itself from 4chan, due to 4chan's horrible reputation.(I know it's not all bad, but it has a bad reputation regardless) - November 4, 2011 at 12:45 AM
- Niccole said...
I'm so glad this finally went up! I'm one of the 4 "pegasisters" (I hate that term too) and I hosted the Berkeley event so I knew ahead of time that the reporter would be there. One of the things I was the happiest about was how well the bronies in Berkeley represented the community as a whole. The reporter was also very nice and respectful of all of the members of the meetup.

- Saurian said...
It was a nice article, well written, evened out and biased.
But it was nothing new, it was like the articles weeks before, and there really wasn't any new info that other media outlets didn't cover.
For once, I wish someone would man/woman up and just ask the simple question: Would this be such a big fuss if it wasn't under the My Little Pony name? If the stories, characters where the same and if they were even ponies or not, would the reaction be different under another name? I think it would, I think people wouldn't give it nearly as much thought. - November 4, 2011 at 12:58 AM
- SgtGarand said...
"In an email, a Hasbro spokeswoman said of the bronies: "From what we've seen, they are a small group of 'My Little Pony' fans who don't necessarily fit what one might expect to be the brand's target audience."
The Hub Chief Executive Margaret Loesch said she is aware of the show's strong following among young males, but says the majority of adult viewers are still overwhelmingly female."
HASBRO y u so ignorant?? Seems like they are the only ones that haven't fully taken notice of the huge fan base that one of their shows has created.
Otherwise, was a very enjoyable article. - November 4, 2011 at 12:59 AM
- Saurian said...
Also, really, I don't think I've met a woman who actually liked the term pegasister, can't we go back to everyone being a brony? At this point its not sexist at all, and quite frankly no one really cares.

That type of ignorance sounds like it takes work to maintain. I mean, it sounds like something that would be really easy to check what with all those youtube video demographic breakdowns and other statistics sitting around all over the place. - November 4, 2011 at 1:05 AM

I just have one problem with it: They never mentioned Lauren Faust! Other than that though, it was great. - November 4, 2011 at 2:03 AM

Odd how they tried to make out it was a tiny group of fans outside of their target audience. Seemed like they were trying to distance themselves? Also, I don't ever wanna be called a pegasister.

- TomA62975 said...
Well written article, though I must say it did seem a bit short and may have only scratched the surface. I am quite surre there are a lot more pony themed websites then just two and I really don't think we are that small. That being said there needs to be more North-western british bronies! I literally know 2 in my town, and 1 "pegasister" with 1 potential one too. Also very cool name Seth, though I had seen it before it is still cool. Mine is a bit plain in all due honesty.
Let's put it this way I have seen articles which call us all a bunch of Homosexual girly males with no foothold in society so this is a refreshing change. - November 4, 2011 at 4:07 AM

"This is the sort of thing discussed at Equestria Daily, a brony website with links to such enthusiast-pleasers as free Pony coloring books."

- Líadan Tyndall said...
Probably the only completely accurate publicity bronies have ever gotten from anyone who wasn't themself a brony. It left out some details, sure, but they can't be making reams of writing just about a cartoon with an unusual viewer base. Well done, Wall Street Journal. Well done.

"They've spawned at least two Pony-themed websites..."
Anyway, overall a good article; it had a lot of factual information, was good about remaining objective, unlike pretty much everything else written about us by non-fans, it's good about getting quotes and such from a wide sampling of people instead of all one age group or gender or looking for the weirdest among us, and it clears up a lot of the common misconceptions people have. Overall excellently done.
"Shaun Scotellaro, [EqD's] 23-year-old founder..."
Is... is that Seth's real name? And town? So if we looked at a Glendale phonebook, it would take us right to his house?
He's going to be swarmed with fanboys now, isn't he? - November 4, 2011 at 5:06 AM
- King9 said...
"From what we've seen, they are a small group of 'My Little Pony' fans who don't necessarily fit what one might expect to be the brand's target audience." Small group? Hmmm. Someone show her EQD's views or the heaps and heaps of fan work out there. Bronies are legion.

- Samuel7897 said...
It's so nice to see an unbiased, legitimate story about bronies, rather than some bullshit that Fox will pull for page views. Hopefully this should give the show recognition and show people just how great it really is.
Although I do find it funny how we're still a minority in the shows fan base, but yet I'm still not surprised (seriously every girl in the world vs a small cluster of internet nerds..) - November 4, 2011 at 5:14 AM
- bronydash said...
This is great. They presented a neutral view of the fandom, got all their facts right, and captured our enthusiasm for the show. However, I wish they had addressed excellent writing and good jokes as reasons we like this show. Not a huge deal, though. Maybe this will spread te word and bring in some new bronies.
- November 4, 2011 at 5:22 AM
- jodyjm13 said...
The WSJ article was short, but very even-handed; still, I wish they would have mentioned the fact that Lauren Faust, the show's creator, set out to make a "girl's show" that still appealed to boys. And I find it amusing that the MLP/Venture Brothers mashup is listed as the second-most-viewed video in the sidebar. :)
I'm one of those that has as little to do with 4chan as possible; the few times I've been there, it did not strike me as, shall we say, a hotbed of love and tolerance.
As far as Hasbro is concerned, compared to the millions of children worldwide who watch the show and buy the toys, even a few hundred thousand bronies would be a "small group". Part of me wonders if the Hasbro spokeswoman didn't realize how dismissive her statement seems, and part of me wonders if she was intentionally being somewhat dismissive because she expected the WSJ to do a hatchet job on bronies. - November 4, 2011 at 5:25 AM
- Starfire said...
@TomA62975, I'm in East Midlands. I don't know any other bronies in real life.
@bronydash, the jokes have even got my partner laughing. I ask him what he's laughing at and he grunts and says "Nothing!" Soon I'll welcome him to the herd. :D - November 4, 2011 at 5:32 AM

Yay we have a decent unbiased article about us, she did a good job covering the fandom in general and without the slightest hint of criticism for once.

Front page of the WSJ may lead to some "commentary" by other media sources. The fact that bronies were portrayed positively all the more makes this probable. Prepare yourselves. A major war is a-brewing.
- November 4, 2011 at 8:10 AM
- Supreme Commander of Brony Mountain said...
The article itself is pretty neutral but seeing as most people that read WSJ are varying, mostly strong, degrees of conservative there will be haters and trolls in the comments. But still... (claps his hooves) thank you reporter person, for doing your best to not make us look like pedobears. We'll still get lumped in with the general "nerd" groups like Star Wars fans and Trekkies by mainstream society, thus be the butt of my jokes but it's a step up...

- FurryForlife said...
I have a couple bones to pick with this actical:
First: Why no mention of Laruen Faust? She is the reason, in my opinion, that the show isn't some stupid fruu fruu show. If not for her I doubt the characters would have depth or any affability at all.
Second: I find it hard to believe that the "Overwhelming majority" of adult viewers is female.

Hasbro's bread and butter is being a family-friendly toy company. Of course the spokesperson was being dismissive. Hasbro is doing well these days, and doesn't want to risk its reputation. There are doubtless executives there who are much more concerned than pleased about "bronies." If you read the comments to any of these articles you can see why: folks talking about the "sissification" of America, parents worried exposing young children to the show given that it has aspects that appeal to adults, even concerns about pedophilia. If I were Hasbro, I would do exactly what the spokesperson does - emphasize that this is a show for and primarily consumed by girls and adult women, that it is safe pleasant entertainment, and that they flattered by the attention from unexpected demographics. It's just business.
On the other hand, Hasbro clearly wants to sell us stuff. Otherwise you'd never have seen Lyra and Carrot Top in the latest blind bag. For them, the goal is to keep us around without making a fuss about us. Works for me. - November 4, 2011 at 8:30 AM

Makes sense. Hasbro seems to be willfully ignorant of bronies, maybe because in part they're afraid of this being a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and likewise.
That, and the other side you bring up of sissification and other such worries.
I believe since becoming a brony I've taken a gentle turn to being more of a relaxed, assertive, loving and tolerant individual. Rather than sissy, actually I feel less self concious.
Still not open about it exactly, but I'm not concealing my affection like I used to. Remember the adage - "Those that mind don't matter, those that matter don't mind"
Not calling ponies a cure-all, but they're certainly good healthy soil to ground some of oneself in.
As media attention grows, the negative views will likewise do so, probably exponentially. We'll just have to weather that (see above paraphrase) with our usual love and tolerance.
All the same, New episode tommorow. Looking forward to it! - November 4, 2011 at 10:59 AM

This reminds me simply of how embarrassed I am of what this show has done. Some of us just watch the damned cartoon, and maintain our peace; then some article has to go and make it sound like everyone who has ever enjoyed the show collects toys and goes to conventions.
You 'bronies' are disgusting me more with every passing day. I'm sick of being likened to a bunch of idiots who think there's any legitimate reason to collect little girls' toys (which is funny, because I remember when the phenomenon first began on /co/, fans were soooo vocal about how they AREN'T watching this because it's a little girls' show, and how they WEREN'T going to run around collecting toys. - November 4, 2011 at 12:01 PM

The comments are filled with absolute shit and retartedness.
You can not fathom how much I want to be able to yell at and punch people over a standard TCP/IP connection. - November 4, 2011 at 1:06 PM

It actually made it pretty clear they DON'T collect the toys. They make posters and the like to display, but they don't buy MLP playsets or buy a toy because of the soft mane. There's a difference between being a fan of a show then buying a toy because of it and liking the toys then watching the show. One is buying a souvenir and the other is just creepy.
It seemed fairly accurate, except I doubt very much the majority of adult fans are female. The majority of adult viewers might be female, but they're watching with their kids and probably aren't real fans. - November 4, 2011 at 1:12 PM

A brony from the other half of the world talking.
I'm truly happy that they talk of us (yeah, the herd is a mondial phenomena). I actualy think there isn't french brony, american brony, or something else, so, as a brony, i'm proud of us ! In france (most precisely, in corsica, where i live) there isn't a lot of brony, then, we don't talk very much about us, that's why i'm happy to see that it's not the case in the whole world.
(But i'm a little disapointed at the sight of the WSJ's comment ... : /) - November 4, 2011 at 2:39 PM

@AngrytigerP I'd like to know where you're getting this idea that people are watching this BECAUSE it's a little girls show and not because they actually enjoy a good cartoon.
Now I may not go around collecting merchandise and stuff,but for every show you have those who do that. No matter what the franchise. - November 4, 2011 at 2:55 PM

1. WSJ comboxes are always infested with trolls, most of whom only go there to hate on the WSJ. Ignore 'em.
2. I've been in a lot of fandoms. This isn't one of the androgynous or gender-neutral ones. Heck, no. I giggle every day to come across some obviously guy point of view behind a fan creation. That's one of the things I like about this fandom, frankly; the men aren't shy about being themselves. (Without at all excluding us women, of course.)
This is a fandom for people who like comedy, action, heroism, the struggle for virtue, and crazy stuff. - November 4, 2011 at 4:43 PM
- pmcollectorboy said...
So the answer to the haters is to roll over and play dead and let them walk over us? So if someone likes to collect the toys, that's disgusting? If you're embarrassed by the show and its fans, that sounds like a personal problem. - November 4, 2011 at 5:44 PM

My foot.
We may be small right now, but our numbers are growing daily and we have the mot dedication of any fanbase out there.
I am very pleased about the article though, the writer did an excellent job and was extremely positive about our subculture. Mad props to this newspaper for doing good research on their topic. Other media outlets should take notes on how it's done. - November 5, 2011 at 3:38 PM

His family thought he was still on the 73rd floor, near the impact zone. "They were actually taking a tape measure to the TV to try and figure out where the plane hit. They didn't think there was enough time."
There was enough time, then.
But the post-9/11 economy eventually led to layoffs and Jack bounced around -- trading commodities and working for a family firm that hedged precious metals. For a while, he was commuting to Palm Beach, Florida, for work, but cutbacks caused him to be an expensive option easily shed. And so began a year of unemployment, taking care of his kids at their rent-stabilized apartment off Columbus Avenue. It was the worst time to be looking for a job, and Jack found himself caught in a no man's land: too senior to be a quick hire, too junior to have a golden parachute.
"Guys like me can be replaced at a much cheaper rate," Alvo says. "You know, a guy who's well into the six figure category, making 250 plus, he's easily replaceable by a guy who they can get for a hundred grand who thinks it's the best job in the world. Or they can replace me with two young guys."
After months sending out resumes with no response, Alvo started driving a cab to make ends meet. More than a year later, he started to put his resume in the back of the taxi for riders to read. He thinks of it as fishing: "If you've ever been fishing, you know you can spend a whole day on a pond and never catch a fish. But if you know the lay of the land, your odds improve."
Over time, he's gotten some help. A writer helped him tighten the resume, another suggested condensing it to one page and putting them in a basket.
"It does keep my faith in humanity," Jack says. "One thing you learn driving a cab is that it's all connected." He's gotten some leads -- even a few interviews -- but nothing solid has come through, yet.
"Citigroup just laid off 11,000. UBS laid off 10,000 worldwide, so I'm still in a holding pattern," Alvo says. "I've been in and out of markets for 25 years, and there's always an excuse -- there's an election coming up, or it's the end of the year, wait 'til the budgets get finalized. ... But as time passes, it gets more difficult. People look at you a little differently -- you've been out two and half years now, it's not one year -- that's my only discouragement."
Driving through New York, almost anonymous now in the front seat, Jack sees deepening divides.
"People who have a lot of money, they had their dip, but now they're back. Their bank account has been affected a bit, but their lives haven't. They cut back from four vacations a year to three. But if you've been caught in that downward spiral, coming back is extremely difficult."

County legislator aims to close budget shortfall for 911 center
A Delaware County legislator has plans to introduce a bill that would help counties receive guidance from a state agency on ways to consolidate and regionalize 911 Center services.
The bill would authorize the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) to give counties plans that contain cost-saving measures that provide joint purchasing opportunities and facilitate regionalization of technology and consolidation of 911 Centers, also known as Public Safety Answering Points, and their operations.
State Rep. Steve Barrar, R-160, of Upper Chichester, circulated a co-sponsorship memo last week. Barrar, majority chairman of the House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee, said he would introduce the bill in the state House sometime this week.
The bill also would eliminate funding for 911 Center carryover costs beyond fiscal year 2013-2014 to ensure solvency in the state's wireless 911 fund. For example, it is projected that $68 million of this year's $109 million fund will be payments for prior year's costs, according to Barrar's memo.
"Without making this correction in statute the fund will go bankrupt," he wrote.
A similar bill was introduced by former state Rep. Tony Payton, D-Philadelphia, in the 2011-2012 legislative session. While the bill passed in the state House, it failed in the Senate.
So how does this relate to Delaware County?
Delaware County has been experiencing a shortfall in funding for its 911 Center in recent years. It is an issue that county officials often cite as one of the largest cost drivers when preparing the county budget.
There is a $1 monthly reimbursement fee for every landline and every cellphone line; however, the county does not always receive the entire amount of cellphone line reimbursements, according to county officials.
While the fees for landline phones come directly back to the county, cellphone fees are sent to a fund set up at the state level and then distributed back to counties across the state. In addition, the amount of landline customers has decreased significantly in recent years because more people have relied on cellphones. Continued...
It costs about $14 million a year to operate the county's 911 Center. For fiscal year 2012-2013, county officials have projected a shortfall of about $3.5 million in 911 fund reimbursements from the state, according to county Councilman John McBlain.
Delaware County officials requested that PEMA reimburse the county about $8.1 million in wireless E-911 funding and the county was awarded $7.4 million. However, the county will only end up receiving about $4.6 million from the state, according to McBlain.
A spokeswoman for PEMA said 911 funding, whether from wireless or landline funds, is disbursed to counties based on the formulas and guidelines established in state law.
McBlain said the problem is that Delaware County sends more wireless fees to PEMA than some of the other counties in Pennsylvania. Some of Delaware County's collected fees may end up going to other counties that cannot fully fund their 911 Centers, according to McBlain.
While Barrar's proposal is not a direct fix to address Delaware County's 911 funding shortfall, McBlain said it would help if rural counties consolidate their services. He does not believe larger counties in southeastern Pennsylvania, like Delaware County, will regionalize their services because the 911 Centers are already large enough and don't have a need for consolidation.
McBlain believes Barrar's proposal is a step in the right direction.
"Steve has recognized this problem and is working to solve it," he said.
Barrar said the focus of his bill is to authorize PEMA to encourage consolidation of 911 systems and shared services.
"It's what we're looking at first before we look at the possibility of raising cellphone fees," he said.
Jonathan Hansen, director of the PEMA 911 Office in Harrisburg, said Barrar's proposal would not add any new revenue to the state's 911 fund. Continued...
"What we're hoping to see is regionalization which would allow for sharing of equipment," he said.
Hansen said PEMA's goal is to encourage counties to connect to a network in their region. If counties join a network, they will be able to share equipment which would allow them to cut down on other costs to operate their 911 systems, he said. Some regions of the state, such as southwestern and central northwest, are already moving forward with consolidation efforts, according to Hansen.
Back in 2002, Delaware County became the first emergency center in the state to enable subscribers of wireless telephone systems with GPS capabilities to have their name, call back number and location pinpointed on a call taker's map when they make an emergency 911 call anywhere in the county.

We should b at the PVR airport around 3 on friday..I will be wearing grey camofluge (creative spelling shorts and a grey t-shirt
with OLIVIA on it.......Would love to meet n greet that afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
see you on Saturday girlfriend!!
The resort is small, compared to some of the resorts I have been to. The Sun Bar, aka the Lounge Bar, which is where the dancing take place, unless they have changed that,but doubt it, is only steps away. The Sun Bar is upstairs and The Market is just below and off to the side a bit. Usually, The Market, is the main eating area in general. You can either take the inside stairs off the lobby inside, or you can go outside and use the stairs of the ramp down an d around to The Market.
Everything is super easy to get to, takes only a few minutes to get from one end of the resort to the other, very nice, no skateboard needed!!
You will enjoy this resort, the people and .....
See ya Sat..
So it looks like the 'central area' might be the Sun Bar and The Market for dinner. How far is it from say the Sun Bar and The Market, to Freda's?
Hard to tell that on this map?
Good job finding that Doreen! Thanks!!!They must have just recently updated it...looks like the Triton Bar is now Frida'sanyway...here's the live link to the map PDF http://www.hrhvallarta.com/resourcefiles/pdf/vallarta-property-map.pdf
So here is the 'new' map. Hopefully the link works.
I don't know how to put the pic in the post.
Looking forward to it Peggy!...See you both real soon!!
See you soon Sled!
a lesbian scavenger hunt...sounds good!
to get started here's a map of the resort...the restaurant names have changed...but the Triton Bar stayed the same
don't know what else has changed since we were there last year...but the basic layout should be the same
Enjoy your Friday at the resort gurls!!
See you on Sat. AM
so my guess would be venture toward the Triton Bar (whereever that is), and look for the lesbians.
Oh a scavenger hunt! LOL

Just what I wanted
By Bean's mommy

I like it because the netting it close nit so that even the tiny bugs cannot get through. I am still able to see my baby and keep the air circulating through so she does not get too hot.
Works great! Love it!
By Bug bite free

This product is great if you like to enjoy evenings sitting out with your friends, but don't want to put harmful chemicals on your child to keep bugs away. I have used it twice so far and haven't seen one bite on my precious baby girl.
Good Quality for the Price-
By Jen
from Berkshires of Massachusetts
Difficult to acquire else where. The product met my expectations, I recommend this product. Protected my son from biting mosquitoes, small biting black flies. Still had to check for ticks that crawled under the mesh, but they did not make it through the mesh.

I love it! I use it on a single travel stroller and it covers everywhere and I use it over top of the play yard. We won't be hostages to the mosquitos this year.

Net one for the Stroller Netting!
By Ace
from Walcott, IA
I often go strolling with my 5 month old daughter and the netting has come in very handy this summer. We have had a lot of rain of late and that has left behind standing water. Its bugs galore and they have attempted to munch on use! Thanks to the netting my daughter has not been bitten. I highly recommend this product.
Double-Stroller Netting
By ECDH Twins' Mommy
from Portland, ME
About Me First Time Parent, Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
I used this for the 1st time yesterday. Maybe it is just my style of stroller (a Graco Quattro Tour Duo), but I noticed that mosquitos would still be able to get in UNDER the bottom of the stroller into the netting and be stuck inside with the babies. I like the idea of this and will continue to use the netting (I live in a really buggy area this time of year), but will be awre that I may end up seeing bugs inside the netting with my kids. Hopefully it doesnt happen.
Good buy
By buzybee

My neighboor got one and I'm glad I bought it. Can't wait to use in the Summer.

Sail-World.com : Vestas Sailrocket 2 achieves new PB and smashes nautical mile record
Vestas Sailrocket 2 achieves new PB and smashes nautical mile record

Paul Larsen, Vestas Sailrocket 2 project leader and pilot, discusses the crew's latest record setting achievements.
Just in after the most incredible run. A whole nautical mile dipping well into the 60's on each gust. We peaked near or over 64 knots and beat our previous 500 meter average. I don't think we cracked 60 knots as a 500 meter average though. But anyway... we smashed the nautical mile record. The Trimble file is big but on the small GT31 we averaged over 55.5 knots.

(Hang on
: Trimble data in now... 55.32 knots for the mile subject to WSSRC ratification. That's it).
63.98 knots one second peak... so definitely over 64 for a spike in there.
... And just marginally quicker than our previous best 500 meters at 59.38 knots... subject to WSSRC stuff!
It's not an easy run to do on a course that is only 1.04 nautical miles long. I have to wind the boat up in rough water at the start and launch it out into rough water at full pelt at the end. Bloody interesting sailing in a boat specifically designed for flatter water.
So that was a big tick on our job list. We didn't even think we were going sailing today. Our media job list is huge and we had to drop everything to go sailing. The team is getting slick now and we made the switcharoo to sailing mode pretty effectively.
So it's Sunday and the town is shut. We're alone in the container with one paltry bottle of Pol Roger champagne left. Our local Champagne dealer is enroute.
This boat is wearing us out. We have barely recovered from the first hangover.
Damn that was good ride. I had the time to look around and just enjoy the sensation that that awesome piece of kit delivers. She was on the edge there a few times.
Bloody brilliant. Go Team.
Enjoy all. Cheers!

"It was an honor serving under Chief Beifong for so many years and I wish her a speedy recovery. It is with great humility that I take her place as the new Chief of Police." |

Contents |
History Edit
After Avatar Korra thwarted an extortion attempt by Triple Threat Triad members, Captain Saikhan and other metalbending police officers arrived at the scene via the police airship. Quickly assessing the situation, Saikhan ordered his officers to apprehend the three immobilized criminals, and additionally attempted to arrest Avatar Korra, for damaging private and public property. He attacked her with his metalbending, but due to Naga's interference, he was unable to detain her for very long. However, the Avatar was eventually apprehended, and during her interrogation at the police headquarters, Saikhan informed Lin Beifong of Councilman Tenzin's arrival.[3]
After the Equalist attack on the Pro-bending Arena, Saikhan assisted Lin and the other police officers in the search of Cabbage Corp's warehouse. When the search yielded incriminating evidence, including Equalist propaganda flyers and stockpiles of electrified gloves, he commented to his superior that "there [was] enough evidence [there] to bury Cabbage Corp for an eternity".[4]
Following Chief Beifong's resignation, Saikhan was appointed Chief of Police. During a speech outside of the police headquarters, he agreed to help use the force's resources to work with Councilman Tarrlok and his task force to bring the Anti-bending Revolution to an end. Tenzin and Korra later talked to him at the police headquarters demanding the release of the Avatar's friends and the accused non-benders; however, he advised that they speak with Tarrlok about the matter. Before leaving, Korra called Saikhan the "worst Chief of Police ever", a statement Tenzin wholeheartedly agreed with.[1]
The following morning, Saikhan and his police officers were called to investigate the damage done to City Hall. Tarrlok stated that the wreckage was caused by an Equalist attack, and ordered Saikhan to deploy the entire police force to find the missing Avatar. He was called to City Hall again later that day by Tenzin. He and Lin exchanged a tense greeting before Tarrlok arrived as well and was accused of being the one responsible for Korra's disappearance. Before Saikhan could take any action, Tarrlok used his bloodbending abilities to subdue the new Chief of Police and every other person present. After waking up again, Saikhan left to brief the entire force to be on the alert for Tarrlok.[5]
During the Equalist bombing of Republic City, Saikhan was at the Police headquarters, dealing with a myriad of problems and attempting to coordinate the city's defenses. When Tenzin arrived, Saikhan was relieved to see him, as he was the only remaining council member. Seeing that the police force was spread too thin, Tenzin sent a dispatch to the United Forces. However, the Equalists soon flooded the headquarters with gas, attempting to knock everyone inside unconscious. Tenzin led Saikhan and other employees to safety, using airbending to make a pocket of breathable air. However, when they reached the exit, several mecha tanks were waiting for them. Using a large magnet mounted on an arm of the mecha tanks, the Equalists captured several metalbender officers. As Saikhan was drawn in by the magnet's power, Tenzin attempted to save Saikhan by pulling him back with airbending, but to no avail. Saikhan and the other officers were placed in a truck to be taken to Amon.

Trivia Edit
- Saikhan's voice actor, Richard Epcar, also provided the voices of Two Toed Ping, the warehouse worker, and the Fire Nation Councilwoman's husband.
- As Captain, Saikhan's armor was slightly different than that of a regular metalbending officer. Whereas the regular uniform's hat is slightly darker than the rest of the uniform, Saikhan's hat is the same shade of gray as the rest of his armor. His armor also lacks the metal shoulder plates and resembles more the design of Lin's armor.[3] When Saikhan replaced Lin Beifong as Chief of Police, his armor was upgraded to the same black armor that Lin always wore.
- Saikhan is the first known male Chief of the Metalbending Police Force.

I bought it a year ago for my macbook pro and it was everything the I wanted and still is...
Provides great protection
POSTED ON 5.10.10 • BY WIthheld
This product protects your MacBook in more ways than you could imagine. I had an accident with a can of iced tea in my bag, which resulted in everything in my bag being drenched in tea. The outside of the sleeve was completely soaked, however the inside was completely dry. Thus, my laptop is alive and well!
What a great case!
POSTED ON 8.28.09 • BY Anonymous
I researched, researched, and researched some more about what case would be best to protect my lovely macbook pro 13". I wanted something good to protect my investment, and this well-constructed neoprene case from incase fits the spot perfectly. From the durable zippers to the soft, plush lining, I think that my macbook will be well protected from everything. I am very impressed with incase. I love this case, and I think my macbook pro does too! :D
An above-average sleeve in every way!!
POSTED ON 8.15.09 • BY Nick
I just purchased this Neoprene Sleeve at the same time that I purchased my brand-new 13" Aluminum MacBook Pro, and the sleeve fits my MacBook Pro like a glove! And the soft fur lining inside the sleeve definitely keeps my MacBook Pro safe from scratches, etc. For anyone looking for protect their investment to the utmost extreme, then look no further than Incase's Neoprene Sleeve! It is nothing short of high-quality and is highly recommended on all counts!!

Extremely stylish. Looks great! The inside is absolutely awesome, soft furry keeps the laptop extremely safe.
I have an Aluminum MacBook. Fit's great and doesn't loose it's form. It's very durable and a must have item for an MacBook owner.
I also have the new Aluminum Macbook. It fits great in the sleeve! Does not move around and easy to carry around in my backpack. I also like the fact that it is thin so it's way easy to carry. Anything Incase makes is top quality
I also have the Aluminum Macbook. Fits great! I like the fact that it is easy to carry around in my backpack. i also like how it's thin so it doesn't take space up
Incase Neoprene Sleeve
POSTED ON 2.25.09 • BY Peter
I have purchased this sleeve a few weeks back and I'm still loving it, its built very nicely and I love the soft inside lining, however if you just put in a bare aluminum macbook it does have a bit of space left inside for the computer to side around a little but it works perfect with my hard case on my macbook.
Great Case
POSTED ON 1.27.09 • BY Devon
Just got my new case and this thing is fantastic. looks durable, and is extremely stylish down to the last logo. definite must have if you have a white or black MacBook
Wonderful sleeve!
POSTED ON 1.19.09 • BY Darin
I purchased this case for my new aluminum MacBook and it fits perfectly.
I left the little Styrofoam insert inside of it, and I just stick my MacBook on top of it. After that, it's snug as a bug.
my bag is saggy :(
POSTED ON 12.30.08 • BY Evan
It is a nice bag, but it says custom fit for aluminum macbook. Wish I would have read the reviews.
POSTED ON 12.20.08 • BY mark Antony Watkins
I too have purchased this finely crafted incase neoprane sleeve and own a new 13\" macbook.......fits perfectly, doesnt move around, slide, nothing! Great!
Nice quality
This case doesn't fit the new macbook aluminum 13". i purchased this case and it doesn't fit at all. it is way to big. i would wait for incase to come out with a case that fits. Other than that it seems to be made very well. if you have the old style macbook i would highly recommend it. It is kind of thin and only protects against scratches.
new aluminum 13" MacBook
POSTED ON 11.17.08 • BY michael
I have the new Aluminum 13 inch MacBook and when its in the sleeve..its kind of loose fitting, slides around, and when i pack it up into my backpack i now have a crease in the neoprene..... :( i guess its really good for the white and black macbooks... but the new MacBooks are 0.13" smaller in height. so its not as snug as it should
I love the invade cases

Olb- Sammy Brown Houston " 9.5 sacks", Sean Porter texas a&m " 8.5 sacks", DL - Vinny Curry Marshall "10.5 sacks" Brett roy nevada " 8 sacks" MLB- Manti Te' Notre dame " 4.5 sacks" DB's - Phillip Thomas Syracuse " 6 int's" Nigel malone Kansas state " 6 int's"
Remember that young man(GAMBLE) AND HIS SISTER made that bad decision, so why is everyone just ostracizing him. He was a young kid and yes what he did was wrong. He has paid the price. Let the young man play football!!
Sammy Brown's a beast... and I'd wager if/when he gets a combine invite he'll likely push himself into at minimum a late Day 2 (3rd round) draft choice. The guy just has a knack for getting to the QB - needs to work on not overpursuing and maintaining lanes/containment against the run, but that's coachable. I just don't see where Te'o fits this team unless it's as a value pick because he's still on the board in the 2nd round. Sorry, but I'm willing to give Mouton the benefit of the doubt for at least one year given what we've seen from Butler's development. I also think Te'o fits the 4-3 far better than the 3-4. I'd honestly sooner sink a 1st round pick into a guy like Peter Konz (who would immediately upgrade the RG position - watch the guy run-block to the right and pull in Wisconsin's offense... he's mean, nasty, and smart... and he's already got pro-size; as well as give us depth/longevity past Hardwick who is still playing well but already starting to decline). Curry's got a lot of potential and I think he may be this year's Brooks Reed. His burst isn't great, but he's a monster effort player and has the flexibility to turn the corner on longer tackles. The main reason I'm against blowing an early 1st round load on Upshaw is because this class is going to be stacked with guys who don't have elite (Prime Merriman, Ware, Suggs, Matthews) ceilings, but can become very good starters - most of which will be available in the 2nd round even if there's a run on 1 or 2 guys early. Ronnell Lewis (best instincts of any edge rusher in the class), Bruce Irvin (best burst of anyone in the class), Brandon Lindsey (needs to improve versus the run but has shown flashes of brilliance and already familiar with playing out of a similar role), Curry, Brown, even Nick Perry (he probably has the highest ceiling of any in the draft, but also requires more work to get there than guys like Lewis, Lindsey, or Irvin). I doubt he falls to the 3rd, but I'm a big Markelle Martin (OkSt) backer. He's not a Polamalu and not a Reed either, but the guy does a little bit of everything really well and nothing absolutely great; comparable to Green Bay's Nick Collins. He can cover TE's and slot receivers, he can play the last line of defense, he can blitz, and he is effective enough in run support because he actually is extremely technically sound in his tackling (he'll actually wrap and drag versus trying to lay the big hit on a guy and risk whiffing).
CB: Leonard Johnson- Iowa St. (Has shut down some very good WR's this season) WR: Michael Floyd - Notre Dame LB : Levonte David - Nebraska (This guy can fly) WR: Keshawn Martin- Mich St. WR: Marvin Mcnutt - Iowa DE: Melvin Ingram - South Carolina CB: Chase Minnifield - UVA FS: Markelle Martin - Ok St. ( could be a SS) OT: Ander Datko - FSU These are just players who I have actually watched and been impressed with. Opinions?
I think we should take Coples from North Carolina at DE with our first pick.. his draft stock has dropped due to the needs of other teams before are assumed position so i am hoping he can fall to us.. 1. Quinton Coples DE - North Carolina 2. Lavonte David LB - Nebraska 3. Colby Fleener TE - Stanford 4. Mike Adams OT (Hoping he falls here) - Ohio State 5. Kendall Wright WR - Baylor 6. Case Keenum QB - Houston* 7. Blake Gideon S - Texas Rivers is 30, looking into the future getting probably another 3-4 solid years from him.. I think Keenum will fall into the 6th round there are 10 QBs mocked before him.. so I think it would be worth a shot, get him mentored under Rivers and Volek as a 3rd stringer..
We want no part of Datko! The guy is the second coming of Alex Barron. He really only fits a zone-blocking scheme and neither of the FSU OT's have adequate lower body strength (or build) for a power-blocking offense. Markelle Martin I do like (see above). I like Levonte David, the problem is I don't see where he fits in our defense. He's built like a large safety (part of the reason he "flies" the way he does), but that kind of stuff isn't going to hold up at the pro level unless he's in a very specific type of defense (Cover-2). The issue is, because of his lack of size and height and his struggles with disengaging from blockers, he's pretty much strictly a 4-3 WILL at the next level without much other positional diversity. In short, he's Ernie Sims and will probably get drafted as such (late 2nd to early 3rd round). But Ernie Sims doesn't fit the 3-4 in the slightest. I love everything Floyd brings on the field and hate everything he brings off the field. I literally feel the same way about him that I did about Kenny Britt: Million dollar body, ten cent attitude. And I can't justify spending a 1st round pick (what it will take to acquire Floyd) on a guy who will likely miss at least 4 games for suspension before his rookie deal expires, when there are guys like McNutt and Nick Toon who, while not straight up comparable to Floyd, can be close to that with a great QB - which Rivers is capable of being - and those guys will be available 2 whole rounds later. As to Keshawn, I like him but I wouldn't spend a high or even Day 2 pick on him. If he's available in Rounds 6 or 7 (there's a possibility of that, really going to come down to how much the lack of speed among the receivers in this draft affects the stock of guys who are less-desirable prospects but that do have better speed), I have no problem taking a flier on him. Good guy to work in space, but really we seem to be able to identify these guys in UDFA pretty readily too - or at least Joiner seems to be able to work well with those guys.
So say we collapse and go 5-11...we'll probably pick in the 6-10 range, and this is who is available.... WR Justin Blackmon OT Riley Reiff CB Dre Kirkpatrick CB Morris Claiborn OT Jonathan Martin DE Quentin Coples Who do you take? Of course it won't look exactly like this, but if it did I would probably take Reiff or Kirkpatrick in that order.
Blackmon, Jefferey, Jones, Broyles, Floyd, Criner, Sanu, McNutt, Toon, and Hilton will all fall before him..
Debatable on some of them. It really depends on what guys like Adams, Hilton, and to a lesser extent Wright run on the track. Fact remains, speed sells in the NFL. I believed it when I called Armanti Edwards and Andre Roberts getting drafted ahead of the likes of Dez Briscoe, Danario Alexander, and Mardy Gilyard. I still believe it now; in fact it may be even more prevalent this coming year when most WR's will be lucky to break into the 4.4's on their 40's.
I agree, for the most part speed is good to have, but most speed guys are all speed and no hands, i much rather have a possession receiver, than the likes of a heyward bey
FYI .... Te'o is staying in school. http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2011/12/12/2629617/2012-nfl-draft-manti-teo-returning-notre-dame
Well he's a guy that I would love to see the Chargers trade up for.. he'll deff be a top 5 picks, he'll be worthy of it too..
Whether its this year or next, we have to find that gem like Mike Wallace.. late 3rd rounder/4th rounder.. We have VJ (If we sign him him), I guess we'll keep Floyd, and Brown.. We need a 4th receiver who can go out there if one of those guys is injured and fill in the slot or wherever.. Especially Floyd who is yet to play a full season.. Wallace ran a 4.3 - all comes down to pro days and combines i guess.. we'll see come April, I just hope the Chargers can make the right decisions..
I'll take quickness and hands over speed any day. Crisp route-running and good release off the snap can get a guy open deep just as effectively as just burning the corner on a go-route.
This year has next to no speed guys - less if you actually factor in their hands (CoronaDoug will eat me alive for this but Streeter's hands are junk, I don't care how great his track speed is) as well as speed. There are 3, maybe 4, guys in the 2012 class that will likely run sub-4.4 and at least one of them is shorter than 5'9", and another that is 5'9" has minimal vertical jumping ability. If he can bulk up a little without losing his quickness, I like Roy Roundtree from Michigan coming out next year who just has that knack for getting open. As for this year, possibly a crack at FIU's Ty Hilton, Arkansas' Joe Adams (kind of the obvious one), or Mathews' former teammate Devon Wylie from Fresno State... though really if the 4th round rolled around and Ryan Broyles was still on the board, I'd take the flier on him to be honest. He's not a burner, but he's got enough speed to make a difference (reminds me of Mario Manningham).
Yeah I really like Broyles.. Yeah I had noticed this draft doesn't present the speed as previous drafts.. Mike Wallace is just a freak of nature and so is Antonio Brown, those guys have cheetah speed and pretty good hands..
LaMichael James has declared. Bigger version of Sproles. I'm all about the beef, but we need to take a hard look at this kid. Move Tolbert to FB & pair James up with Mathews.
Might be nice for him to get some reps so an assessment could be made before the draft. Either way, I don't think that Todman is going to be the dynamic athlete that James is. Did you mean to put a sarcasm smilie there?
No i mean Todman is very athletic.. if Norv gets the guy in there I promise you he will surprise people on this forum.. He might be small but he is strong.. 25 reps of 225 lbs the guy is only 5'9 - 193.. thats something ran a solid 4.4 as well.. He had over 3,000 rushing yards at UConn in three years and NO FUMBLES.. Even though he had one in pre-season but it was more his fault he didn't get a solid grip on the ball.. He took one back as a return man his freshman or sophomore year so I'd give him a chance there rather than Crayton..
I liked Todman coming out of college as well. Just wondering whether we're going to get to see him. James is still a very intriguing possibility, IMO.
Based on all our needs and the fact we have Todman, Brinkley and another FB (Summers) waiting in the wings, I have a hard time imagining that we would select another running back especially with so many needs. Then again I thought similar last draft only to see us draft Todman, so who knows.
Yeah.. what do you guys think of trading Jammer this off season for a 2nd rounder? I have more trust in Gilchrist, Cason, Hughes, and Wright then Jammer right now.. he's old and slow, we have Stuckey who can play SS so I don't think we should even hold on to him any longer and move on and try to get some value off him..
Then why don't we just move him to SS? Stuckey can't play SS, we tried, he failed. He was supposedly making greater strides in the limited camp we had this year because they switched him from SS to FS, but given the fact that our system has effectively implemented a dual-safety set versus a pure free and strong safety tandem, I don't have so much faith in Stuckey that I'd just bank the future of a position on him. Jammer's stock is the lowest it's ever been because he's coming off his worst season since his rookie year (when he was still struggling with the fact that league rules prevented him from jamming the holy hell out of receivers at the line like he was able to get away with at Texas), so we'd be selling low and we'd get nowhere near even a Day 2 pick in an offer for him. We'd be lucky to see someone offer a 4th or 5th round pick for him, and I'd just as soon test him out at SS for the last year of his contract rather than take minimal value in return.
He'll still get torched.. I think Cason is improving after the fact the whole city was riding his back.. Gilchrist from many sources, looks like a "young Champ Bailey".. and if so next year is his year.. I'd rather get a 4th for him then try him out at SS.. for once he's never been able to catch the ball, and two he isn't the shutdown corner he used to be.. might have something to do with the lockout but he just looks so slow out there.. I'd gamble on Stuckey, he was great in college, give him this off season to work at that position and get focused and let him be, he's very athletic and has good hands..
