text: Still no comment regarding failure to honor contracts. Can't always be done, I know, but post #21 seems to blow off the habit of ignoring contracts. This from jwreck, after garyd goes round & round with me on the same issue (contracts, not Bain Capital in particular). I hope this is not a trend from non-liberals? Why would it take liberal/socialist types to defend contract law and ethics? I thought such defense should be the strong point of the "pro-business" party. Guess not.

Since GT PSP was announced yesterday, we haven't really gotten a good look at what this big, little game actually plays like.
Sure, the first http://www.gtplanet.net/first-official-gran-turismo-psp-screenshots/gran-turismo-psp-10/ are impressive - but to see it running at a full 60fps is a completely different story...
Although the driving skills (as usual) leave something to be desired, you've not seen Trial Mountain look this good since Gran Turismo 4.

The Best Prom Money Can Buy: South Suburban Spending Habits
We called on our Facebook fans from across the south suburbs to share their experiences dealing with the expenses of a modern-day prom.
For some, prom is the apex of the high school experience—a magical night to be looked back on with nostalgia for years to come. Others will recount it as a well-dressed ten-ton credit-munching beast with an insatiable appetite. Like Matt L., our Tinley Park Patch Facebook friend who needed several years to pay his parents off his parents for a prom loan. Or Angie S. from Oak Lawn, who budgeted $1,000 for her daughters' proms (and she's not the exception). Now that we're in the heart of prom season, we were curious to hear about the financial impact prom has on the typical south suburban family. How much does the average local family spend on a prom, and who foots the bill? Mom and dad, or the teens? We asked our Facebook fans across the …

Auburn Gets Kirby Lester Donation | | Print | |
The Auburn University Harrison School of Pharmacy is the recipient of a new KL 16 tablet counting machine from Kirby Lester.
In addition to Auburn, Kirby Lester counting technology has been donated to schools of pharmacy at the University of Florida, the University of Louisiana-Monroe, and the University of Arkansas in partnership with Wal-Mart. Last year the company also donated a counting machine to Dr. Alex Kendziordske and his African Youth Outreach program for work with AIDS patients in Africa. Christopher Thomsen, Kirby Lester's VP of business development, noted that the company has had a strong tradition of working with schools of pharmacy for the past three decades. "We are proud to continue this tradition. Today's pharmacy students understand the value of technology and how it will best be utilized to move the profession forward," he says. In commenting on the new KL 16, Lee Evans, dean of the School of Pharmacy at Auburn, says, "Our student pharmacists must be versed on a broad array of technology designed to decrease medical errors and to improve the efficiency of the drug delivery system. The Kirby Lester system is a valuable example of what pharmacists must incorporate into their practices." |

Situation Update: Summary of Weekly FluView
Key Flu Indicators
According to the latest FluView report, seasonal influenza activity is approaching summertime levels in the United States. It's important to remember, though, that flu viruses continue to circulate at low levels during the summer in the United States and the Southern Hemisphere is entering its regular flu season. Below is a summary of the key indicators for the week of May 5-11, 2013.
- For the week of May 5-11, the proportion of people seeing a health care provider for influenza-like illness (ILI) continued to decrease and remains below the national baseline for the eighth consecutive week.
- One state (Hawaii) experienced low activity, and 49 states and New York City experienced minimal ILI activity. The District of Columbia had insufficient data to determine an ILI activity level. ILI activity data indicate the amount of flu-like illness that is occurring in each jurisdiction.
- 49 states, Guam, and Puerto Rico reported local, sporadic, or no geographic spread of influenza activity. Only 1 state (Hawaii) reported regional geographic influenza activity. Geographic spread data show how many areas within a state or territory are seeing flu activity.
- An additional 18 laboratory-confirmed influenza hospitalizations were reported during the week of May 5-11; bringing the total number of hospitalizations that occurred from October 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013 to 12,348. This translates to a cumulative rate of 44.3 influenza-associated hospitalizations per 100,000 people in the United States.
- Data regarding hospitalizations for the 2012-3013 season will continue to be updated as additional charts are reviewed and data is received by CDC; though no new information regarding persons admitted for hospitalization after April 30, 2013 will be collected.
- The proportion of death attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) based on the 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System decreased this week and remains below the epidemic threshold.
- One influenza-related pediatric death was reported during the week of May 5-11, 2013. The death was associated with an influenza A virus for which the subtype was not determined. This brings the total number of influenza-associated pediatric deaths reported to CDC for 2012-2013 to 139. Additional information regarding pediatric deaths is available through FluView Interactive.
- Nationally, the percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza in the United States during the week of May 5-11 increased slightly, but remains low and is approaching levels that are typically observed during the summer.
- Influenza A (H3N2), 2009 influenza A (H1N1), and influenza B viruses have all been identified in the U.S. this season. During the week of May 5-11, 30 of the 124 influenza-positive tests reported to CDC were influenza A viruses and 94 were influenza B viruses. Of the 7 influenza A viruses that were subtyped, 4 were H3 viruses and 3 were 2009 H1N1 viruses.
- Since October 1, 2012, CDC has antigenically characterized 2,391 influenza viruses, including 234 2009 influenza A (H1N1) viruses, 1,324 influenza A (H3N2) viruses and 833 influenza B viruses.
- Of the 234 2009 influenza A (H1N1) characterized, 231 (98.7%) were characterized as A/California/7/2009-like. This is the influenza A (H1N1) component of the Northern Hemisphere vaccine for the 2012-2013 season.
- Of the 1,324 influenza A (H3N2) viruses, 1,319 (99.6%) were characterized as A/Victoria/361/2011-like. This is the influenza A (H3N2) component of the Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine for the 2012-2013 season.
- Of the 833 influenza B viruses characterized, 66.5% belonged to the B/Yamagata lineage of viruses, and were characterized as B/Wisconsin/1/2010-like, the influenza B component for the 2012-2013 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine. The remaining 33.5% of the tested influenza B viruses belonged to the B/Victoria lineage of viruses.
- Since October 1, 2012, 540 2009 influenza A (H1N1), 2,119 influenza A (H3N2), and 935 influenza B virus samples have been tested for resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors. While the vast majority of the tested virus samples (>99%) showed susceptibility to the antiviral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir, two 2009 H1N1 viruses (reported during week 3 and week 6) and two influenza A (H3N2) viruses (reported during weeks 10 and 11) showed resistance to oseltamivir and one A(H3N2) virus was resistant to both oseltamivir and zanamivir. High levels of resistance to the adamantanes (amantadine and rimantadine) persist among 2009 influenza A (H1N1) and A (H3N2) viruses. Adamantanes are not effective against influenza B viruses.
FluView is available – and past issues are archived – on the CDC website.
Note: Delays in reporting may mean that data changes over time. The most up to date data for all weeks during the 2012-2013 season can be found on the current FluView.

the poor bastard looks like a deer in the headlights
Do they have a choice if they want to be pope or not? He was voted in, but what if he didn't want to be pope?
At the Vatican, following the demise of the Pope, the conclave to elect his successor settles on Cardinal Melville. But the faithful gathered in St Peter's Square wait in vain for the new Pope to step out on the balcony. What is going on? Behind the thick walls of the Vatican panic has set in. After uttering a terrible howl of fear, the Cardinal refuses the office. The officials do everything to try to reason with Melville, including a psychoanalyst, appointed by the Vatican... Do we really have a Pope? Written by Guy Bellinger

[Normal] [Adventure]
Author: Drax99
Description: Everyone hears about Humans in Equestria. What happens when a pony ends up in Equestria?
A Clever Pony
Additional Tags: Original, Terran Pony, Innocent, Circus Pony, Family Friendly
Description: Everyone hears about Humans in Equestria. What happens when a pony ends up in Equestria?
What like a Pony from the human world ends up in Equestria? that would be interesting. Would probably scare the S*** outta everybody.
Drax99 getting something up at EqD. I thought I'd never see that day (not meant negative).
Honestly, I thought you hated EqD? Maybe you've changed...
Gonn- wait... "normal" and "adventure"? What the buck is this!? Gonna have to give it a go then.
I have bad memories from the last story I read that was by Drax... Fucking druids and pheromones... I'm still gonna try this.
You know, it's not as if Equestrian ponies DON'T domesticate animals so I'll thank them kindly not to talk about humans doing it as if it's some kind of monstrous act of enslavement.
lol, nope havn't changed, I'm as shocked as anyone. And this is my try at a "Family Friendly" story.
As someone who helped proof-read at least part of this, I highly suggest checking it out. It's a very interesting concept, and Drax is a decent writer. Just sayin'.
As long as it doesn't include a pheromone pumping Mary Sue, I'm good. What inspired you to write that particular story anyway?
As someone who's read "Past Sins" I know you're a decent writer (which makes you well above... like 80% of all the writers?). However, I do hope you don't fuck it up like with Past Sins (though that story was doomed after just 2 chapters).
I'll give you some feedback after I've read it (whenever that will be, busy editing Past Sins and doing a review), but I remember the last time I tried to help you... and you just shoved it away, harshly. That really hurt.
I'm sure it's at least a good read, the concept definitely is interesting...
Oh dear god no. Mary Sues just piss me off...
That was a very cute fic and I'm glad I've read it.
Well, that ending made the how a bit ambiguous, but otherwise this was a nice little fic. Glad you avoided going the misanthropic route (even if the execution was a bit heavyhanded). I think the only thing holding it back is the lack of a transitional period after the transformation...but, I like transition stuff. So woe be mine.
Nice fic.
@David Johnston Yes, but here we have these Humans enslaving a pony!
Or to put it other way, to Twilight and friends, a pony - even a mute, weird-looking, animalistic pony - is not an animal so much as a person.
Oh BUCK! In my last comment, replace "Past Sins" with "Angst Much".
Maybe I should take a break from editing Past Sins?... :S
I enjoyed that; a bit short perhaps. Would have prefered a longer 'discovery' period, eg some time spent looking at the differences between a terran pony and an Equestrian one, but that's just me.
I liked it.
5 stars, short and sweet, didn't really feel put off by it.
I believe the notion is more "We believe the fandom dislikes OCs and so warn against them, but acknowledge that there have been and are worthwhile OCs to be had and read about."
They's neutral.
I'll give it a four out of five. It was well written for the most part, but the over-idealized happy ending (for Buttercup, at least) was a bit off-putting. I laughed out loud when Buttercup took a dump like Terran ponies do.
Cute story. I'm sad but happy about how it turned out /fluttershycry
A very good reading. It does feel a bit rushed at the end, but i like the concept overall.
I liked it. Solid read, despite the uneven pacing after she arrived in Equestria.
Danngit. Poor Buttercup.
I dun wanna think about Equestria as pony heaven :C
Awww, that was cute.
And did I detect a hint of shipping? =P
Dat ending. Wow.
Cute. Enjoyable. Funny. And, a bit sad at the end. All the things I like.
D'aww that was really good! I wish that'd happen to me D:
I enjoyed it... although the second to last scene was kind of sad...
Don't read my comment if you don't want SPOILERS
The ending. Is Equestria pony heaven, then? Or maybe the portal leaves a body to keep the masquerade?
And poor Will. No matter which, I feel sorry for him. :(
After recovering from my initial "Squee". I felt the fic was very well written at the start, and that Buttercup's own personality was pretty interesting. However, the ending felt a little rushed. Perhaps a gradual period of learning would have better served the story's narrative.
That was a really nice story, and the ending made me awww and :( at the same time.
I too would have preferred more length to the story, and to have seen the gradual adjustment from show pony to Equestrian citizen. All in all, an interesting concept, and I'm glad to have read it.
Solid 4.5 out of 5 from me.
Nice little quick story, quick read, same as above for pacing.
4/5 because of the pacing, least Drax is a better writer than me.
This was an adorable story! This is proof positive that you can have very likeable OCs.
It's a very sweet and touching story. :)
I think that the transition from Terran Pony to Earth Pony was too quick. I'd imagine that the shock of finding yourself in an entirely new body would take quite a bit of getting used to. In addition, while Buttercup might be clever for an Terran pony, she's no where as intelligent as a pony native to Equestria, and there's a lot of knowledge that she's going to need to learn.
Also, nice Princess Bride reference, if that's what it is (Wes being short for Westley).
OH! you're THAT Drax guy! oh. oh my.
*gives it a try anyway*
well, that was very nice. i'm glad someone posted it to EqD. nice heart-warming story, a little ... anti-human in there? but i'm overtly sensitive to that sort of thing. i liked it, though it did seem a bit short. i, well, i liked it. i really can't suggest anything to improve your writing style, as i normally like to do. a bit of repetition in the 'clever pony' parts but i can see why you'd chose to do that and it adds to the story i think. uhm, the poop part might have been much for some but it had to be addressed.
sorry i couldn't help ...
uhm, i'd like to give this 4/5 but for some reason blogger won't show the stars.
sorry again.
Are you using Firefox? I was having the same problem until I upgraded to 6.01.
I still can't believe someone downvoted it when it was first posted. Very well written and quite interesting.
@Kim Fluttershy Dykas
You left me a little confused for a moment there :P Thanks for clearing up what you meant
I just gave it a 5. It was so sweet. I'm not so certain that Equestria is absolute pony heaven, but more like a paradise for the lucky few who happen to encounter the effect of such a rare dimensional alignment.
That a body was left behind on Earth, is probably not that significant. I imagine there is a true pony heaven beyond mortal life in Equestria. I think The portal is a reward... for a very clever pony who truly deserved more.
I enjoyed this. When nearing the finish I must admit I thought you were using a rather cheap plot device to remove a lot of questions and problems but I'm very glad I kept reading as the ending lies in a completely different direction that totally condones the use of quick explanations.
A heartwarming story, 4/5.
I also NEVER rate on technical issues. I rate a story for it's merit, without regard to whether or not if needs or even will be revised or left alone. If there were any errors in this story, my mind auto-filtered over them all. I noticed nothing, as the story absorbed my full attention.
To me, this was a beautiful, heartwarming story that caused my eyes to leak... blinker fluid... That's what that was, yeah.
5 stars!
For now, I will give it four stars in hopes of seeing it get better with time. It didn't draw me in as much as I had hoped it would, but still, It's good stuff. :3 Best of luck on future chapters!
@Minalkra I actually found it fairly anti-anti-human (or non-misanthropic) in an awkward sort of way. The reality is not anti-human, the equestrian rumor/speculation is anti-human and so there's an awkward little "oh, so it wasn't bad for you" moment that was a bit heavy-handed.
Oh and if the rating don't show, hit the post title/header and then refresh that page once or twice. Usually shows up.
if you did not rofl @ Buttercup casually taking a shit while walking, you have no soul
It feels a bit like Planet of the Apes, but a really smart present day chimp goes to the future.
A little sad and very sweet; and I enjoyed pre-uplift Buttercup's interactions with the other ponies.
And so Equestria is equine heaven? Much is explained.
Great little story. That last scene in the real world sealed it for me, very nice twist. Yeah, we humans aren't all monsters, are we.
A cute idea executed in a cute way! I do think it could have been stretched out a bit to give more of a sense of transition, but overall this is a fun idea.
I liked reading this. I used to ride horses when I was young and always wondered how much the horses liked us on their backs. Its nice to think they were having as much fun as we were.
One was going to SAY! PS doomed after 2 chapters?! XD I knew it HAD to be a typo or SOMETHING, because I KNOW you wouldn't spend time on something if it was doomed after only 2 chapters! XD Nice to run into you again! Read any other good stories lately, or is the editing/reviewing keeping ya busy?
Your (Accidentally) antagonistic friend: The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor
Also, about the actual story... I liked it, for the most part, though one hopes for more chapters. It's hard to make a good, founded judgement with only one chapter to work with. (Kinda like judging MLP after only seeing one episode. Kinda.)
Intruiging notion, well executed. The final scene in the real world raises some questions. I wouldn't have minded if this had been a series, I'm actually a bit sad its a one shot. Would have been nice to see a bit more of a real pony in Equestria.
Oh, wait, I read it. This isn't my idea. This fic is good. But mine is better.
I really liked this story. It was a really interesting idea and I'm glad someone wrote it well since it could have gone wrong.
Wish it was longer though.
I liked the story, though I agree that it felt a bit rushed towards the end. But Buttercup as the matron of the Ponyville Orphanage is now part of my personal fanon.
Yes, I am a bit anti-human, but that isn't where I was trying to go with this. I was getting sick of writing dark and angsty stuff and wanted something simple, and heartwarming. I wanted to write happy for a change. I actually agonized over her choice of path, since I wanted her to do something with children, but there was already a teacher, and Orphanage implies lost parents and unwanted foals. Not an image I wanted for Ponyville. I compromised by making it an orphanage for all of Equestria.
I am not happy with the ending myself, and may go back to re-write it later. But honestly, I ran out of steam at the end, then beat my head against the wall for a week trying to figure how to end it properly. I finally went for short and sweet, with a happy ending. But of course, my twisted mind wont let me do happy, without a little bit of bittersweet, and so the gentle, kindhearted pony earned her reward with a happier life.
As for repeating the clever pony bit, it set the mood and her personality. While on our world, she was very clever, by Equestria standards she is a bit slow. Not quite Lenny, but close. Regardless of her intelligence, she is accepted and loved for who she is, a kind pony who loves children.
I'm glad everyone liked it, it was refreshing to write, but the stress of life and multiple projects finally got to me in the end. Maybe I will revisit it with a sequel, and flesh out her character and life in Ponyville some more.
Fun story Drax! I really enjoyed the twist. Though, I wonder how well Buttercup will do with raising socially well adjusted foals when she hardly knows anything about Equestrian life herself! Ha! Now that will be sure to be an adventure. If you ever care to write about it, I would love to read it. :D
Obviously, when Celestria boosted her intelligence she also gave her the knowledge she would need to function in Equestria.
I liked the story, but I have to agree that ir felt rushed ny the end. I think this story could have spanned over several chapters, which would give the chance to see more of Buttercup's reactions to life in Equestria and the way she has to learn how to be a regular ponyvillian.
@MaconThat may make a good follow up story. Learning how to adjust to being an Equestrian pony, especially with inquisitive foals.
@Drax, Please do a follow-up on her adjustment to Ponyville.
I have a half pony pet....he is an jerk, I can't help but wonder what he would be like in equestria...I almost want to do a spoof of this with a normal pony not a clever one. almost...
I agree that a follow up story would be fun to see.
I just want to say this story is... well, thought-provoking at least. It seemed like a nice adventure story right up until the end. It'll certainly make me think next time I watch some MLP shows. Great job, Drax99.
Well, teaches me to post without reading everything :P Don't kill me.
By the way, if your reading experience is spoiled, it's your fault for reading the comments before the story.
For those of you who are requesting a followup, the point of the story (from my humble point of view) is to convey the idea that Equestria is not really a whole different world, but rather Pony heaven. Buttercup, who loves children more than anything else, dies, goes to Equestria, and gets to spend her entire (after)life helping children, as she always enjoyed. A followup would just turn this into a story, but right now it's a kind of... I don't know, sad but happy way of showing the true nature of Equestria.
such a short and sweet story, I enjoyed the ending it all came together nicely. Touching story and glad I let my curiosity get me to open up the story link.
@Hardbeat Acolyte
Yeah, I was WTFing up a storm at the Past Sins part. Now I understand. Haven't read "Angst Much" though.
This story was awesome! I half want there to be more, but it seems like it us liable to get ruined if done badly. The ending was sad, but made the story that much more poignant. I dunno what else to say. 5 stars
@The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor
Good to see you too!
You'd be surprised of how little time I spend on Past Sins... or pony-related stuff at all. Real life sucks, was better in the summer where I could live my own life in front of the computer, hah! Anyhow, I'm currently at the 7th chapter of Past Sins, and I have been as such for a day or two. Progress is a bit slow... Var and especially Vimbert are super fast though. Filler/Cludvent just finished the second chapter... he's slow, but very efficient.
Angst Much :S not Past Sins, was doomed after the second ch- no wait, make it the first chapter. As soon as the self-insert? got ripped and shit for no reason, it was doomed. Then came the sex... ahem! Back on topic!
No, I haven't really read any fics worth mentioning lately... then again, I've only read around 3-4 fics out of free will the last 2-3 weeks. I'm too busy helping others with their writing, reviewing and editing. And stuff.
ATM I'm taking a break from everything, trying to write something. Planning on doing a S.T.A.L.K.E.R x MLP crossover. It's gonna take a lot of work.
Drax, sorry for de-railing the comments section with this post, directing attention towards me :S
An interesting read. In real life I have a miniature ponies. They have their way of "talking", of getting their message across to me.
I do feel for poor Will though - I lost my first little pony a couple of weeks ago. I'd had her for 15 years.
The ending doesn't make much sense. It couldn't be pony heaven because Celestia said this was a RARE occasion.
I like this. You could have easily turned this into a long mini-series though, it seemed a touch rushed.
I REALLY like this particular O.C.
You have to be careful with O.C.s They can easily make or break a story, depending on how they're handled.
Examples of stories whit well-handled O.C.s:
'The Logical Option' (even if it has MAJOR problems with spelling errors)
'Past Sins' (don't try to tell me that Nyx is anything but an extremely clever O.C.)
'Heart of Gold, Feathers of Steel' (both stories)
'The Sound of Sunlight' (I melt over this one)
You have some fantastic potential with this kind of story :)
Please keep going with this line of writing. I LOVE IT!
@Night Sky
Right, so most go somewhere else. Only when the planets are right do they go to Equestria. Presumably what the human said was true of the other possible destination as well.
Drive by editing suggestions:
Trying to make as sound, it first came out as a bray, but words quickly formed as she discovered she could command her vocal chords.
-First phrase malformed. Probably should be "Trying to make a sound".
-Never quite could figure out what this means.
... Clever count : 21 ...
... Real pony in Equestria ? Mmh... I wonder if people remember 'this' video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ars_I3kzOAw ? It's a real funny video ...
>Before approaching the house she decided to relieve herself along the side of the path.
-Heeeeeh ?... Yeah... I can see how VERY awkward this can be... *cough*
>She is a Terran Pony."
-A Starcraft pony ? ;)
>they have domesticated wild ponies as creatures of labor. Oh how barbaric!"
-Says the pony with a dragon ASSISTANT !
>"You poor thing, they must have treated you awful on your world.
-Oh, right, awful... Say ? How do you treat your animals around here, hmmmmm ? Are they ALL treated badly ?
>She's some sorta escaped slave of these 'Humans'?"
-(Siiiiiiigh) Facepalm !
@David Johnston has a point...
>This new horse seemed to radiate power and calm
-Last time I checked, Celestia was ALSO a pony... just a much bigger than average pony, that's all. (plus being an alicorn and a Princess-Goddess...)
>I understand that your kind are not always treated well by the humans that care for you.
-The contrary (which is 'well treated') is also quite true most of the time... normally.
>The spell requires a focus, and a template."
-Huhhh... Copy/Paste 'Pony model V3.5' with alishop (alicorn-photoshop) ?
>"Woooo! I'ma pony! I'ma talking pony! I'ma clever talking pony! YAY!"
-Well, she does sound quite happy :)
>Looking up, Will raised red eyes to his friend. "I don't know, bro. I just don't know. But at least now, she's in a better place than here. And she can play with the children as much as she wants."
-What the ... Oh ! You **** /%?2&?"3+42 ! YOu got to be kidding me ?
Why that freaking part ? What gives really ?! This section just SUNK your damn story ! What genious idea you had !
Couldn't just have her ''portal'' her way to Equestria, nooooooooooo... 'Stupid lightning through the neck' idea that was ?
... That story WAS at least a 4 stars, then the most unnecessary, tasteless, most idiotic addition possible, I read in the last 20 stories that I read this week so far ! There is no need, no reason for this section to be there. It's simply some bad, tasteless 'forced-drama' put through our throat ...
@Drax : Well, this last section pretty surely put a 'metaphorical' bullet through that goal. Seriously.
... The idea was new and interesting, the end almost-literally screwed it heavily, and now... the last memories of this story that you give the reader, that people will remember first... is a terrible nonsensical event that just make us throw our hands in the air and say : ''What the ?! WHY !'' ...
... way to go from new and interesting to terrible and annoying, in 10seconds flat ...
(and now I need some other story, to digest this ''so-called'' end...)
This review made me lol.
Lets see. Terran pony, because Equestria has Earth ponies. This one really stuck in my craw, so had to do the best I could.
The baby dragon assistant, who is being raised as a ward of the state, not a slave. He's still a kid. (although child labor laws might apply)
How do they treat their animals? Ask Fluttershy, that seems to be her job. Personally I wanna kick that damn rabbit every time I see him. And I LOVE animals.
Of course Celestia is seen as a horse. She's too big to be a pony, and the only creature she has to compare her to is the horse from the circus.
Earth pony template... as opposed to AJ standing around picking her nose. Eh, I wanted her involved.
As for the ending... Part of it was one of my pre-readers pestering me for an explanation of how lightening created a damn portal. And part of it was just my darker impulses not letting me just write something totally happy without a bit of bitterness. But I feel it made her happiness all the more poignant. A peek behind the curtain to see just what she paid, and appreciate how much she earned.
But, if you didn't like it, I cannot' help that. Can't please everyone, and if you try, you will never be happy yourself.
You know, the ''ending'' part isn't so much about whatever liking this section or not, all things considered...
It is, partially, about the fact that I could as well literally *cut* this section and NOTHING AT ALL (details, information, vital emotions, etc...) would be lost, really.
Which basicly transforms this 'end section' into something that is essentially a *slap to the face of the reader*, telling : ''Be sad now !!''.
It makes the ''end'' rather ''unpleasant'', to put it mildly... and it gives a bad after-taste, since I had 'enjoyed' the story, its set atmosphere, before that point... Before the 'metaphorical' *slap to the face*, that is.
meh, 4/5 likes it. Most commented that it made the piece. I'd call that mission accomplished.
I'm still not happy with the ending though, to my standards it was a desperate hack job. I will easily admit that, I was really strung out at the end and closed the story badly. But I will need time to find a better way to end it. But so far nobody has complained about the humanitarian ending, except you. The only thing that I see needs fixing is the transition to equestrian pony.
I still haven't decided if I want to do this in a re-write, or a sequel. Time will tell.
Well, time and feedback. Still waiting to hear from some friends.
Well, yes, the ending was rushed. Maybe you should have foreshadowed before how she liked taking care of children, it only came up to close to the end. I catch myself making this mistake often.
Still a very heartwarming story, and I loved reading it. The bittersweet touch felt very much appropriate, and it did help jerking the couple happy tears it did.
Nice work. :3
I wonder...
What would result, if you were to give permission to someone to post your story somewhere else, like on DA, without the 'unnecessary section'... with a link at the end, pointing toward this one... and asking the reader to spot the missing 'section' and what they they think of that 'section' once they find it ?
That sure would be a very fascinating experiment.
IT would provide interesting data.
I already posted it on DA, and FF.net. So far though, you are the only person that has complained about that scene.
I gave permission on my DA page, anyone can repost my stuff, just please give credit. I'd actually prefer that people be redirected to that site, since they have a much better comment system, and I check it more often.
Look me up, Name is Drax99 there too.
@Freeze Frame
The ending. Is Equestria pony heaven, then? Or maybe the portal leaves a body to keep the masquerade?
Nope. Celestia said it was incredibly rare. She also said the trip was always one-way... and apparently she was very right about that. The ending just showed why. Dimensional travel copying instead of transporting doesn't seem like such an odd theory to me. Seen that concept a lot on the subject of teleportation.
After reading this, I think this story would make a great addition to either The Outer Limits, or the 1980's Twilight Zone.
Lovely work! =3
Oh yes, my storytelling style is strongly influenced by both of those, and thats exactly the effect I was goin for.
I didn't detect anything anti human, only a point of view problem. MLPs are people, not animals, and from their perspective domestication equates to slavery. And no matter how plush, slavery is slavery, so it's a short step to thinking of humans as universally cruel. Buttercup denied that herself, said her trainers were kind.
I didn't find the "clever pony" thing repetitive. It creates dramatic irony because we can see that a very clever terran pony is a rather stupid equestrian pony, and it serves as a glimpse into Buttercup's head where she is constantly self-congratulatory on her cleverness. That's her one point of pride.
And then the end. Oh, man. That made me tear up a bit. Was she actually transported in spirit to a new world, or is Equestria really pony heaven? Or is Equestria an illusion created for Buttercup's individual benefit in the afterlife, like Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come? Pony Heaven, population: one? Does that make Celestia an angel? Or God?
If it's the real, shared afterlife for all ponies (or even just some), then something went wrong in Buttercup's case. Presumably normal pony souls get reincarnated as MLP foals, and Buttercup somehow jumped the track.
I prefer an open ending, so the reader can interpret it however they want. I give you the framework, but you truly create the world.
>Dimensional travel copying instead of transporting
>Seen that concept a lot on the subject of teleportation.
-Then it's not really 'teleportation'.
Teleportation : is a term that refers to a number of theories and notions concerning the transfer of matter from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.
I said "on the subject of". The point there was indeed that it wasn't true teleportation but atomic rebuilding of electronically transferred scan data, leaving you with an 'original' every time, and dealt with the morality of disposing of it.

Honestly, this just truly made me feel it's a new era. Any other year Wilson would have won rookie of the week, but this year OUR BOY won it this week. This is finally not the "same ole skins"!!
Well for once, I dont think Robert deserved the award this week. Russel Wilson played lights out against a very good Chicago team on the road, he gets my vote. Heck I'd argue that our own Alfred Morris should have been a finalist and not Robert. He had a great game against a a stout run defense and slammed the nail in their coffin down the stretch.
It is strange RGIII won it over Wilson, i guess people took into account the Giants are the super bowl champs fresh off a convincing win over the Packers, while Seattle has owned the Bears and beat them 3 seasons straight at soldier field with 3 different QBs. These things are usually popularity contests, so RGIII having the stage all to himself compared to Wilsons game being buried at 1:00pm amongst 9 other games played a big part.
Indy Star writers already anointing Luck as the ROY.
The biggest argument is RGIII has a good RB while Luck "has done everything by himself"
I'm gonna send these guys the URL to LL's article.
"It was like he was Jason on 'Friday the 13th' -- man just wouldn't go down," - Honolulu bar patron on Trent Williams being tasered and smashed over the head with a champagne bottle.
Can someone explain to me the argument that RGIII "pads his stats." I see this repeated over and over, but I still don't understand what it means? His offense is getting points, and yards rushing/passing and the stats aren't coming because teams are playing bend-don't-break because they're so far ahead. By what definition does RGIII pad his stats?
I like the writers' argument that basically just says that the Indy OC is a ****ty coordinator. If Luck is forced to throw long all the time and that's a reason for all the interceptions, then why are they throwing long so often? The Redskins have the benefit of having a good running game, but why are they #1 this year when they were #25 last year?

"Weak right 40 gut. Yum! Yum! How bout that one baby!"
**** the Seahawks and anyone connected to them for being our bogey team. RG3 should win week in week our for all I care
= Mancrush Engaged
I have no idea how they say RGIII pads his stats. Usually I'd view padding ones stats as throwing a ton of times and having limited success on each throw but having very good stats by virtue of volume. That sounds a lot more like Luck than RGIII.
I suppose if you were getting a bunch of garbage time yards and TDs that would count as padding, but we haven't been in garbage time all year.
Lastly, I guess if we just ran up the score on some crappy team like 50-0, then I guess that could be viewed as padding stats, but literally the only two teams we've faced this year with more than 6 losses are Philly and NO, and NO is still a dangerous team.
And I think the problems on offense in Indy are half the coordinators, and half Luck. Luck refuses to throw checkdowns, even when they're clearly wide open for first downs. That is 100% on him. He also could probably scramble a bit more too. He's big and fast enough to be a threat on the ground, there's no real reason he can't run it. If Luck was more of a running threat that might open things up more for Brown or Ballard.
The coordinators and coaches, meanwhile, should do a better job of having Luck throw shorter more high % throws. Luck is throwing 27% of passes longer than 15 yards. Most of the top guys in the league are throwing that long less than 20% of the time, and they have much higher completion %s and fewer INTs.
So after our and the Colts game, where does the race stand now?
More in Griffin's hands than before, I think. Griffin played a decent game by objective standards, but poor by his own, 15/26, 246 yards, 1 TD, no INTs.
Meanwhile, Luck, again, below 50% completion, 16/34, 196 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs.
Of course, whether Griffin is able to keep up now is going to be based on whether he is able to play the last 3 games, but 66% completion, 18 TDs, 4 INTs is a darn good stat line.
The door is open for another rookie this week. Probably Wilson as his team is playing really well right now against the Cardinals (who doesn't).
Luck has another Pick 6 today. The other INT was a hail marry so can't really fault him for that but his completion % was not good. Id say that RGIII easily played a better game. Luck will have to have very solid games here on out to win ROTY in my opinion.
RGIII is still in the drivers seat assuming he can play in some or all of the remaining games.

Holiday Travel: Troopers Beefing Up Patrol
By: Jamiese Price
Updated: November 22, 2012
43 million people across the country are hitting the road over the next four days for the Thanksgiving holiday.
With the extra drivers on the road Alabama State Troopers will be in full force to make sure all traffic laws are obeyed.
Trooper Kevin Cook said, "We want people to enjoy this holiday period but we want them to be courteous to their fellow motorist. They need to buckle up and slow down. Don't drink and drive because there is no tolerance for drinking and driving,"
Cook said troopers will be checking for all driving violations.
"We're checking for speeding, the aggressive drivers, not wearing you seat belt, the impaired driver and this year we have a new law about texting and driving," said Cook.
Six people died on Alabama highways during the Thanksgiving holiday travel period last year.
Five of those victims were not wearing their seat belts.

You may have some outdate hidden eclipse related files in your directories.
Search for files of directories that start with a dot . and either remove them or look into them to see if you can find something fishy in there.
Otherwise you can run a mvn eclipse:clean command.
Does the problem happen on all of these commands ?
mvn clean compile
mvn clean test
mvn eclipse:eclipse
no the problem doesn't occur on those commands.
Only when I type command in roo
Does it happen only when you run the tests or also when you compile the main code ?
it happens with all these commands:
perform eclipse
perform tests
perform package
I'm sorry but I'm also new to Roo and I can't see what you are facing here..
I am facing the same problem too

U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Upper St. Clair) invites high school artists across the 18th Congressional district, including from the Sewickley area, to participate in his annual Congressional Art Competition.
Each year, members of Congress are asked to submit one piece of artwork that best represents their district to be displayed in the walkway between the Capitol Building and the House office buildings for a period of one year.
"The exceptional talent of our young local artists continues to impress me year after year," Murphy said. "I'm especially excited to view 2013 submissions under our new patriotic theme. I urge our young artists to take part in this unique opportunity to demonstrate their talents and promote the southwestern Pennsylvania region in the halls of Congress."

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.
I'm new here and fairly new to austrianism itself when it comes to the nitty gritty and 'pure' economics, as opposed to the social stuff, I was wondering what are some of the "essential" books on the monetary side of austrian economics as well as the business cycle?
I guess What Has Government Done to Our Money by Murray N. Rothbard would be a good book for a beginner.
I thought that Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State did a really great job with the monetary stuff. Read Chapters 3 and 11 and you'll understand a lot of the monetary aspects of AE, as well as putting them in a good context for modern mainstream discourse. With that said though it's hard to give you a good book that's advanced enough to give you a really good insight into ABCT while at the same time not reading like a brick. I think that Rothbard's "America's Great Depression" might be a decent start, but other than that I don't have any real advice besides trying to read all of MES (which does an infinitely better job of explaining ABCT than Human Action does) or trying to read Hayek's "Prices and Production" which really does not read well in my view.
I'm looking at get What Has Government Done To Our Money allready, as well as The Theory of Money and Credit, thanks for the suggestiongs, will look into Man Economy and State as well as America's Great Depression, thanks, I love Rothbard, he's good at explaining things clearly.

text: So what does all this have to do with Gruno? He walks the line between incisive and offensive. That is both his strength and his liability. He scares the hell out of me, and he scares the hell out of management. I have the utmost faith that he knows where all the lines are that I've just pointed out, and yet he seems to be resistant to pledging his allegiance to all this, almost to the point of saying that it's absurd to ask him to do so. For the life of me I still don't understand where this "resentment for authority" comes from, but it is there nonetheless.

The Toughest Coach There Ever Was by Frank Deford |
Page 16 of 20 Royce had to write this, because it was too emotional for her to say: "Bobbie spent her closeness with Bull at the piano. Gael would sing to him, and Vic was at the field house sharing his life there. My time with Bull was spent in nature and with animals. We would walk to ponds and put out fish traps (we always caught turtles). We would walk in the woods on Sundays. Bull would help me care for and learn all about my animals. This is where Bull taught me about God and the way of mankind and the world." Still, no bigger school would touch Bull Cyclone. The word that traveled before him was that he was a thug, the meanest football coach that ever walked the land. Buckner remembers getting an offer to play quarterback at a major school "up north in Virginia." The backfield-coaching job was vacant, and he said he'd come if Bull Cyclone was hired. Buckner tried to explain what a genius the man was. The head coach told him to' save his breath. "Hey, I'm afraid of that man," he said. Clois Cheatham, who is now the president of Scooba, shakes his head. "Off the field, no one was more compassionate," says Cheatham. "But the name was right. He was bullheaded, and he couldn't always make the right transition to others after dealing with players." At Perkinston J.C., they used to fire a cannon right behind the visitors' bench to stir up the crowd. Bull Cyclone, who could still get nervous when he heard loud noises-"You didn't sneak up on Dad," Bobbie says-protested to the president of Perkinston, but the reply came back that the cannon was "tradition." Bull Cyclone then wrote that "my managers and I will bring double-barreled shotguns to Perkinston, and if there is one tradition I learned in the military it was to retaliate." The president agreed to silence the guns of Perkinston. And so the tales of rough, tough Bull Cyclone spread, and Stumpy Harbour simmered. By now, too, Bull Cyclone had been pretty much his own football boss for a long time. Maybe he never could work well under someone else. Virginia recalls sitting in the press box with Bull when he was a lowly assistant at Oregon. Over the phone he kept imploring Whistlin' Jim Aiken to employ a certain strategy. After a while, when the head coach didn't, Bull Cyclone just sat back, folded his arms and watched the game, refusing to answer the phone for the balance of the half. |
