Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 21
Distraction time! Have some submission guidelines. Send questions or alternative entries to firstname.lastname@example.com And that's all I have to say about that.
The Theme of the Day
Draw a pony swimming. I thought we'd try another more action oriented theme and give you all a break from my recent obsession with depicting emotions. Since I'm feeling generous, I'll also explicitly state that other maritime activities are also acceptable fare. Being on a beach! Being on a boat! Waterskiing! Um... what the heck else do ponies do in the water? Swimsuit edition?
I feel like I should be telling a joke tonight. But isn't that always the case, with the spotlight shining on me I just can't remember any good ones. So... emergency joke! This one time, these two guys walked into a bar, and they completely redecorated the place! You should have seen it, it was brilliant. But the day after that there was a big scandal, because Princess Celestia got drunk and accidentally set a stool on fire. You guys really give her a bad rep, you know? All this Trollestia stuff. She's just a pony who likes to party. Maybe tomorrow will be Party With Celly Day. For now I'll just hope I got a chuckle out of at least one of you. Always leave 'em laughing...
1) By Vegetalss4 (Somehow I'm always surprised by how fast the bonus theme comes up.)
2) By Horizon Bound
3) By Giny The Whoof (This is not the sort of laughter I envisioned.)
4) By Emerald Dust
5) By ChaosDrop (I'm trying to decide if this is canon for me or not. TwixCelly is growing on me. I'm not sure that was the point.)
6) By ASGallardo (To die laughing is I think the most terrifying prospect imaginable.)
7) By Thanqol
8) By Colaz
9) By NikaScott

13) By Amehdaus (That's terrifying. I am terrified.)
14) By Vanner
15) By Syggie (Octavia falls victim to The Giggle Loop.)
16) By Kitty Tail (This is the image that cemented the pink mane as official in my mind. Note it down, everypony!)

18) By Sherlock Hooves (Potential Seth design number 2!)
19) By TensaiOni (HA HA HA HA HA HA HA)
20) By FoxOfWar
21) By Smock
22) By ASGallardo

40) By Mattyhex
41) By Dangereaux (Fluttershy later apologized to the thunderstorm for being too loud.)

54) By Milk
55) By Hindsight
56) By Tibberly
57) By Relias (Derpy makes bubbles until they're all over! Sometimes there's lots and sometimes there's only not lots. Sometimes Derpy just likes to watch the bubbles instead of making more.)

59) By Tenchi Outsuno
60) By Fisher
61) By Zach (Poor Spike.)

121) By Kooldude
122) By A Terrible Person

I here officially apologize for forgetting Dashie's wings D: By the time I realized what I'd done, the picture was submitted and I was already falling asleep . . . - June 16, 2011 at 12:01 AM
- Syggie said...
#15 reporting. Ha, That's funny, Phoe! I didn't see it as a loop rather than three undivided frames. You made me chuckle at my own picture. XD
- June 16, 2011 at 12:08 AM
#58 here! If I had a handheld sized pony like that, I'd be the happiest person in the world XD
- June 16, 2011 at 12:11 AM
- Eliwood10 said...
#110 checking in. I'm glad you liked the story, Phoe :3

- Muffinsforever said...
10 17 30 36 41 63 74 79 94 and 114 are awesome in my book.
- June 16, 2011 at 12:13 AM
Constantly ruining everything forever with my colored pencils and complete lack of skill
Having fun, though! This event is great motivation to try to not suck :D - June 16, 2011 at 12:14 AM
- Rydel said...
82 here
66 - nice Pony Psychology series reference
Too tired to comment on others, maybe after some sleep... then poorly typed from my nook at work - June 16, 2011 at 12:15 AM
- Sigil said...
#6 Not only thus this remind me of the Joker's perfered method of killing but also anypony notice the door says push but Celestia is Pulling xD!
- June 16, 2011 at 12:15 AM
-66 makes me happy because someone made fan-art for that fiction. :P I love the Psychology series.
-105 is downright awesome. Joker-Pinkie FTW! - June 16, 2011 at 12:17 AM
- Doombah said...
#37 tonight! That's funny to me, because I was watching Clerks while doing this one. :p
- June 16, 2011 at 12:17 AM
#121 Here with my little blurbs.
#22 Her face is just priceless!
#39 All right, that was a win Rainbow Dash.
#49 I really like this one too.
#58 I agree :D!
#61 Those rage eyes scare me a bit.
#71 How evil (lol)!
#104 Uhh, YES! Even her laughter is graceful!
#118 How fitting that it's Luna day with the eclipse! I hope this happens in the show :D!
#129 LOL ROFL! - June 16, 2011 at 12:19 AM
- Crimson Valor said...
#71 wins. Everypony else can go die now, you can't top that. -_-
(I'm just kidding about the die part, of course) - June 16, 2011 at 12:20 AM
- Da Chi said...
Phoe I bet you're mad then that I made Lyra an official Canucks fan! Boom like that!
89 is probably my favourite. Simple and sweet! - June 16, 2011 at 12:20 AM
26 making a quick stop to say I at least cracked a smile at every single entry today. This event is awesome.
Also the references today rock! Special mention goes to 99 for the incredible Arrested Development crossover. - June 16, 2011 at 12:21 AM
- Spurs said...
141. It was a rush job tonight.
I must say, number 41 was my favorite out of these. - June 16, 2011 at 12:23 AM
- Torrential Rains said...
How can I even look Fluttershy in the eyes again after... THAT? - June 16, 2011 at 12:26 AM
57 would be pretty cute if I hadn't read Bubbles. Now it's so sad...
And oh god was clicking through to 70 a bad mistake.
128 proves that nothing short of Critical Cutie Mark Failure will make Pinkie Pie stop being Pinkie Pie. - June 16, 2011 at 12:29 AM
- Ambrose said...
#75 checking in. Great stuff! I particularly enjoyed:
#13, holy cow!
#41, just awesome
#42, dawww
#89, wish I could use a pencil like that
#104, love Ego's drawings - June 16, 2011 at 12:29 AM
#127 here! The Count is such a classic, I was surprised no one else drew him! AH AH AH.
So many amazing entries today, but Poison Joke Celestia made me laugh the hardest. She looks like a wiener dog! - June 16, 2011 at 12:31 AM
- Horizon Bound said...
#2 here - the creativity in this community is amazing, from the stories to the artwork, bronies are just great.
And 104 made me d'aww! - June 16, 2011 at 12:31 AM
- Zackery said...
Oh. My. Dear LUNA 97 left me gasping for air.
I LITERALLY fell unconscious. - June 16, 2011 at 12:35 AM
- Muffinsforever said...
Lol, thanks. I just knew I had to have a muffinocalypse theme at least once.
Oh and 141 is just plain creepy - June 16, 2011 at 12:38 AM
- D. Shadows said...
Well it's good to see the art thing is still going strong.
I like the two hundred pinkie ones, also anything with a muffin or Derpy in it and a few of the Luna ones are choice.
I feel like an idiot for finally recognizing where I've seen MHPayne's work before, if anyone else doesn't know by this point then I'd be surprised.
Also in case of laughing gas, drink water. It'll save your life, unfortunately it won't stop the heroes from using tear gas on me. Darn the heroes, darn them and their tear gas bombs. - June 16, 2011 at 12:40 AM
#9 Master after regeneration. And Whooves ofc.
Nice ponies :3. - June 16, 2011 at 12:43 AM
- Taco Bandit said...
haha I like see Phoe as a pony. Great job bronies, a lot of creativity. I didn't look at the grim dark one in fear of not sleeping tonight, I'm sorry.
Also if anypony wondering about my submission #112 if you remember Episode 3 "The ticket master" where Applejack made a bet with Big Mac if she brought all the apples in the farm by lunch time, Big Mac has to walk down Stirrup Street wearing Granny's girdle.
Drawing a pony swimming eh? hmm hope I can think of something creative since 2mmrrow going to be my last art till the 27 :c
Well good luck bronies! Stay strong! - June 16, 2011 at 12:51 AM
- Kentora said...
#19 Oh man. The infamous awkward Tidus/Yuna laugh. Could not stop lol'ing.
#127 GENIUUUUS. - June 16, 2011 at 12:53 AM
- HawaiianShirtedPony said...
I really want to keep doing this, but I ran out of supplies on the 19th. The good news is I might be able to get a tablet thing by the end of week. Then I'll just have to figure out how to get it to work. (Wish me luck.)
- June 16, 2011 at 12:56 AM
What's everyone griping about? #70 can't be that badOH GODS NO
- June 16, 2011 at 12:56 AM
- HawaiianShirtedPony said...
@Torrential Rains
Just don't let it phase you. (It could have been a much worse.) - June 16, 2011 at 1:02 AM
- Torrential Rains said...
I just can't...
How could they even do that to her?
Fluttershy's so innocent, and they do THAT to her?
I-I just lost faith in the good of humanity... - June 16, 2011 at 1:08 AM
- Phoe said...
@Torrential Rains
Don't lose faith. Just look at every other submission. And for what it's worth, the artist of Number 70 left an apology in the comment box when he submitted it. This wasn't something done out of malice or spite, it's just... unsettling. - June 16, 2011 at 1:11 AM
- Ambrose said...
Hmmm, kinda glad I didn't click on #70...
Anyway, coming back to say I also dug #59, 60; just realized #60 is G3 vs G4, which is hilarious! You could almost count that for Evil Twin day too! - June 16, 2011 at 1:11 AM
- Philith said...
Well they never said it in the show to my knowledge and I don't read too much of the fanfiction. I had already uploaded when I saw that word used.
Furthermore it is just knitpicking like people that argue whether a name is Alucard or Arucard because Japanese lacks an L sound. - June 16, 2011 at 1:11 AM
- HawaiianShirtedPony said...
@Torrential Rains
See it from the other perceptive. They see her as innocent and pure. They want to be close to her, problem is they don't feel that they can reach up to that level. The only alternative is to bring her down to their level. Or, to put it bluntly, the more innocent it is, the better it feels to corrupt it.
P.S. Don't loose hope in humanity. Humanity has had a hard time from the start, it did what it had to do to survive. - June 16, 2011 at 1:16 AM
- Torrential Rains said...
I-I just can't look at her the same way again...
I can't forgive the person who made this, it's just wrong to do that to her... - June 16, 2011 at 1:19 AM
- Spurs said...
Mission accomplished.
Although, the final version looks quite a bit creepier with the white makeup. Too bad the thumbnails don't update, but at least the link does. - June 16, 2011 at 1:23 AM
#93 here. Phoe, I promise I'll do my best to finish it properly. I'm so very happy you liked it.
Now to list some favourites for today: 17, 41, 89, 140... but really I could easily put at least half of submissions into this category.
As always, great job bronies. - June 16, 2011 at 1:27 AM
- Phoe said...
@Torrential Rains
This too shall pass. Get some rest, and when you wake up prepare yourself a warm drink of your choosing (I like cocoa, personally), and sit down to watch Dragonshy or Green Isn't Your Color. You'll feel better, I promise. - June 16, 2011 at 1:30 AM
I thought mine was probably going to be the worst of the bunch.
...after looking at some of these, though, I suddenly don't feel so self-conscious. Still, I have no qualms with deliberate self-depreciation.
*(I was #38, BTW. :D)* - June 16, 2011 at 1:31 AM
- Torrential Rains said...
Can the cocoa have little marshmallows floating in it? - June 16, 2011 at 1:31 AM
#108 here
I stayed up just to see if my drawing made it in.
HAHAHA IT'S 5 IN THE MORNING HAHAHAHAHA - June 16, 2011 at 1:32 AM
- Emerald said...
#4 today. I don't think I've ever been this high up on the list before, but I did kind of rush this one, so I suppose it makes sense. Oh, by the way; if anyone gets the incredibly obscure reference I made, please let me know.
Anyway, great pictures again, as always. I've come to really enjoy the recurring themes, like badzerg's Longshy and MHPayne's comic strips. Making a continuous comic with all these themse going on that still at least kind of makes sense must be really difficult. And I love the line "I don't think we ever HAD Pinkie." That pretty much nails it.
Aside from those, I've really enjoyed #28 today, because a pie in the face, or on the head, has always been instant comedy. Can't beat the classics. #52 is great, too; seems almost like a necessary continuation from Show Stoppers. Big Mac's reaction is priceless.
Oh, and #125: A Tommy Wiseau Pony would be the most awkward and hilarious thing ever. We NEED that.
I just hope I'll be able to come up with something halfway decent for today. So far I haven't been able to think of anything intelligent, but you know how it is, good ideas usually come to you when you least expect them. - June 16, 2011 at 1:37 AM

Before I forget, totality diggin' the look. - June 16, 2011 at 1:45 AM
- Twilight Sparkle said...
Is it wrong I laughed at 70?
i don't know why but I find grimdark stuff to be hilarious.
I need help... - June 16, 2011 at 1:50 AM
- Torrential Rains said...
@Twilight Sparkle
Yes, you need help...
Also, Y U NO ON DOC? - June 16, 2011 at 1:53 AM
- Twilight Sparkle said...
@Torrential Rains
Helping family move.
It's an all day thing.
Accept my friend request over xbox! - June 16, 2011 at 1:56 AM
#11 here
All the pictures are great! My personal favorite is #73. It's so cute. ^^ - June 16, 2011 at 1:57 AM
- Torrential Rains said...
@Twilight Sparkle
Haven't checked my messages recently...
Damn your timezone, it drives me to insomnia! - June 16, 2011 at 1:59 AM
- Twilight Sparkle said...
@Torrential Rains
I sent you another one reminding early this morning(for me.[I gotta stop playing BBCS until 4am])
It's 7 in the evening for me right now. - June 16, 2011 at 2:01 AM
- Uncle Leo said...
My friends in the end we must all remember that 70 is just a picture. Just keep thinking in your head that it's not canon and would never happen. And remember, friendship is magic.
-Uncle Leo - June 16, 2011 at 2:13 AM
- Uncle Leo said...
Oh by the way. Don't go crazy on us yet Phoe, your doing a great job and your work is appreciated.
-Uncle Leo - June 16, 2011 at 2:44 AM
Okay, #70 surprised me. As in seriously surprised me XP. I jumped.
It's a little out there, but its still just a picture. I think you guys needta relax a little?
Just take your mind off it, everything will be fine. - June 16, 2011 at 2:50 AM
#140 here....Not able to finish it today sadly.
Favorites today! 63 was my most favorite and I pretty much just gasped and stared at it with a =D face, 17, 74, 79, 89, 98, 105, 128, 133...wow there are so many good ones today!! - June 16, 2011 at 3:03 AM
#29 checking in. I tried to keep things simple and sweet today, and I think I succeeded in that regard. I also this one to play around more with composition than I normally do.
I noticed my number seems pretty high up on the list considering I submitted it pretty much when I always do. Looks like a lot of midnight oil was burned last night, but it looks like it was all worth it. Some of my favorites this time around were #2, 10, 61, 73, 104, 125, and 127. Keep up the good work everypony! - June 16, 2011 at 3:09 AM
- ecmc1093 said...
#53 here. Fun fact: I did it on MS Paint, with a mouse.
#70 Wh-Why? Why would you do that? You know what, stuff like this needs it's own category, something along the lines of "Not safe for Bronies" X( - June 16, 2011 at 3:10 AM
*Sigh* That next theme has me wishing I could draw much better than I currently can, because I had a pretty funny/odd idea for it.
The idea I had in mind contained a reference to the show "King of the Hill", which happened to be how I found my way into bronyhood, oddly enough. - June 16, 2011 at 3:18 AM
- Ethereal Zephyros said...
Something made me want to save #70....
...the picture is now known as my wallpaper - June 16, 2011 at 3:27 AM
#96 reporting in
About the next theme, will diving count as swimming? - June 16, 2011 at 3:49 AM
Eeyup, no 87 this time :)
No 17, 41 and 42 were my favourites here! - June 16, 2011 at 4:01 AM
- FoxOfWar said...
#20 here. Guess I couldn't resist another Magic the Gathering joke. I kind of like the idea of Twilight Sparkle and Zecora having at it every now and then. With Zecora being far more experienced. Which comes round to today's pic.
Not going to look at #70, certain pics already haunt my head and I'm all out of brain bleach(it's pretty hard to find these days...). Photo memory is BAD when you also have as vivid imagination as I do.
Really liked 50, 59, 61 and 111 :) - June 16, 2011 at 4:10 AM
- relias said...
Man, what a GREAT night. I was very satisfied with my piece; it was simple enough, but effective (and yes, it's based on the fanfic Bubbles, which is one of my very favorites ;_;). But really, seriously, as for the rest of you, I'd be here all day if I wanted to name all my favorites from this theme and explain why. The Boo, the Laughing Mare, so many great out-of-the-box (literally in Sethisto's case~) ideas... Aw, heck, I'll at least say #19 CRACKED ME UP and #70 made me feel very bad :< it was the whole gamut run tonight.
also, #84 was my initial idea, though I was gonna do little doodles, and quickly realized I wouldn't be able to do that and make them look even recognizable in such a small timeframe, haha. And Phoe's apparent official coloring looks fantastic. Maybe I'll try to draw her when I'm... a little bit better. (Oh, and squee @ getting comments so many days in a row, I must have some kinda neat ideas or something :3c ) - June 16, 2011 at 5:40 AM
- Saddlesoap said...
#66 - OMC...fanart of my fanfic!
*prances around in a circle* yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!
*ahem*...I mean, I am flattered and pleased. - June 16, 2011 at 6:03 AM
#71 here, just wanted to say everybody seems to be improving greatly, except the godly artists up in here who could not possibly get better. Just kidding, there's always room for improvement.
#13- ...
#41- I want this to happen.
#52- I bet this was a planned episode for season 2. The sketchy style looks really nice on this one.
#61- LOL! The look on Twi's face is so adorable, too.
#74- Now this one looks nice. Like, REALLY nice. Great job! That's a bit mean though, seriously Pinkie.

#125- Points for Tommy Wiseau pony. (Spoiler: He's actually an alien sent to earth to collect spoons to power a cannon that turns planets into the shape of spoons.) - June 16, 2011 at 6:06 AM

95 here. I'm so happy i actually finished early for once :)
Great stuff as usual guys. I'm still not going to pick favorites because these are all really nice.
@torrential/phoe: You guys are really making it seem like not clicking 70 was a good choice on my part... - June 16, 2011 at 6:12 AM

127- Love the Count pony, brilliant idea XD
23-Poor road cone Luna! (lmao) but it looks like she gets Celestia back in 129, which is awesomely hilarious too!
I should have drawn a prank but I couldn't think of anything good ^_^; *is 72* I'm not all THAT into bondage really... ;3 Just wanted to draw the aftermath of the rope theme. And a pony laughing so hard they were crying! That and I love the idea that Applejack can bring Rainbow down a notch(sometimes, she really needs it!) - June 16, 2011 at 6:14 AM
Im waiting until it finally just becomes "Draw Lyra Day". I can totally see it happening...

@HawaiianShirtedPony Yeah Phoe, your OC that we've made for you looks pretty awesome :D
She is adorable. #50 is adorable. :D so much adorable
@ShoeboxWarrior Wait, what's not finished about yours? It's even colored and stuff...
Thankssss :D
Also @the first Anonymous, yeah I submitted mine at about 11:30 PST, so there were 15 other submissions in the last 30 minutes. ^^
#4 - if this was a reference, I didn't get it. :c But if that's Pinkie's sister, how can their lives be miserable if they live with post-rainboom Pinkie? :o
#29 - d'aww. It's Fluttershy and she's adorable, nothing else needs to be said. woohoo~
#71 - ...I lost. >_< Nice evil hat/monocle/mustache/goatee you have there. Now, a question: When you sit in your mandatory evil armchair, do you stroke a cat or do you prefer something more like a turtle?
#28 because it was next to #29 - Big Mac accidentally the whole pie! :D Don't be sad, Apple Bloom, pies on heads are hilarious! Laughter incarnate. Classic. (Which one of them pied him?) - June 16, 2011 at 6:52 AM

#64 here.
Having trouble coming up with something, I couldn't decide between Fluttershy or Manehattan Applejack. So I did them both.
I'm not gonna bother thinking up what is going on in that situation: you come up with your own story. - June 16, 2011 at 7:50 AM

#103 here
UGh wth is wrong with me, I dont know what i was thinking when i left a comment on my pic like that. Anywho, i beleive today is going to be used for fixing Fluttershy and cleaning up the ruby pic. IT was late as frig i was going on two hours sleep the previous night . . . . maybe my brain had just quit working right. anywho. im definitely going to clean that pic up.
i swear . . . some of these really kinda creeped me out . . . despite the theme. Other than those creepy pics, i really loved this theme.
Now if i could find out why imageshack isnt allowing me to bring up the pic i uploaded last night i would change it to one without the comment. But it wont let me.
Lik to pic without comment, ( not cleaned up yet )
Ok im off to the zoo with some friends or id comment on alot more pics like i normally do . . . bye all - June 16, 2011 at 8:23 AM

Phoe must surely be the coolest pagasi,
That she knows every reference nopony can deny.
From games made twenty years ago,
That many thought no one would know,
To crazy British television,
That defy most for recognition.
For so long, of Coupling* I had not thought,
But that one line made me laugh, a lot.
Oh Phoe, I love you more each day,
Every joke that you white does slay!
If this makes me sound a stalker, I am sorry,
But Princess Phoe, would you marry me?

99 today!
This was going to be my entry for "Evil Twin" day (although Gob is basically Trixie in human form), but it didn't work out until now.
I have combined "Arrested Development" with ponies. God help us all.
I'm really liking the styles in 61 and 74. I love the unique style in 72 as well, Kt Kat.
~Buddy Vox - June 16, 2011 at 9:34 AM
Well, I'm kind ok with grindark. Nothing seem to bother me... *open in a new tab* ... I even look at human gore without a problem, so it can't really be any...HOLY FUCK!! *close* - June 16, 2011 at 9:51 AM
#70 here.
I'm very sorry for causing upset amongst others.
If it makes you feel better, I'll try my absolute hardest to flood the remaining days with Lyra and Bonbon parenting fiascos. - June 16, 2011 at 9:56 AM
Don't take it too seriously, #70-brony. People love to be frightened and disgusted. That's why they watch horror movies. Or read cupcakes.
The very reason MLP FiM is different from older generations is because it has dark side in it. Without it - cuteness will get boring.
I hope we'll see more twisted fucked up imagery from you, because you really made it great. - June 16, 2011 at 10:43 AM
- Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi said...
#100 here. I had this idea in my head all day and not only was it fun to put to paper, I got it almost exactly like I envisioned, which made my day. The only thing that gave me a lot of trouble was Twilight's elements crown in the 3rd panel.
70 - I've seen worse... but this was definitely unexpected of a pony drawing.
103 - Don't get discouraged, a pose doesn't have to be totally unique. There's always room for more cute drawings, IMO.
129 - Careful there, Luna, you're a pretty close to the joke too and somepony else might just get the last laugh. :P - June 16, 2011 at 10:46 AM
well .... i kinda drew it so .... yeah.

- Ewyndall said...
Though I do not know you personally knowing my bronies I am 100% sure you didn't do this with malice and to upset people, so it's fine.
But I understand people got shocked. I'm the more sensitive type aswell, after reading Cupcakes it took me like 3 weeks to look at the Pinkie the same way again.
So yeah. Maybe "shocking" is not the best word, more like...unexpected. No worries, we will get over it.
Also I want to make it clear that despite all the commotion, I don't want this to discourage you. Draw what makes you feel happy. :)
Maybe you were just experimenting, that's also part of learning and exploring yourself.
If it's grimdark that you find joy in, well, do it. Not my cup of tea, but I totally don't want you to stop drawing stuff you like just because it's not as widely accepted and appreciated as, for example, Lyra&Bonbon shipping.
So don't let it get to you. It was labelled as grimdark, it was hidden, so it's our own curiosity to blame.
Keep drawing brony ^-^ - June 16, 2011 at 11:17 AM

- Phoe said...
I hope that my commentary didn't come across as implying I was upset at you for producing the piece. I'm not a very big fan of especially dark imagery as applied to My Little Pony, but I absolutely acknowledge any artist's right to bring to life the image or story that's in their heart. It's very clear you didn't draw that with malicious intent, because I can detect genuine emotion in your effort and your execution (is that a poor choice of word?).
I had a lesson retaught to me back on "Pony with wings" night when a certain Scootaloo image set off a torrent of complaints from bronies who were disturbed and distraught - I was reminded that night of my duty as a publisher (and that is essentially what Seth, Cereal, and I am) to balance artistic freedom against the desires of the consumptive public. There are a lot of surprisingly sensitive souls perusing Equestria Daily, and with the vivid nature of your submission I felt a strong need to put up warning signs and preemptively cut off any major backlash.
This left me to do a weird dance where I had to admit that the submission was not to my tastes and of a disturbing nature while also being careful not to call it bad. Because it very much is a well put together picture. I reworded myself maybe six different times and I still don't feel I did a very good job, and for that I apologize.
Please continue to produce the art that you are interested in drawing. If you legitimately want to send a bunch of Lyra and Bon Bon's Adventures in Parenting, I will happily put them up, but I don't want you to feel you must make this compromise, because that is not your responsibility as an artist. - June 16, 2011 at 11:40 AM

#70 That's silly.
But now that I think about it, reading the file name "Ponies can't die, silly" suggests to me that they are capable of experiencing endless pain. Hmmm... - June 16, 2011 at 11:41 AM
- Torrential Rains said...
I just wanted to know if I could have marshmallows...
I'm not exactly a sensitive soul, I just can't believe someone would do that to Fluttershy. - June 16, 2011 at 11:51 AM
- Ewyndall said...
I'm happy you are basicly saying the same thing as I did above. Actually I'm more than happy, since you are the organizer of this event and thus your opinion will matter more in this.
As of a sidenote:
"I can detect genuine emotion in your effort and your EXECUTION"
Sorry Phoe, despite all the seriousness of what you were trying to say I just LOL'd so hard xD - June 16, 2011 at 11:52 AM
- Phoe said...
@Torrential Rains
Of course you can have marshmallows. What kind of cruel despot would I have to be to make you drink hot cocoa without marshmallows? I mean, seriously.
Yeah, I... yeah. There's a right time to pun and a wrong time to pun, and Celestia help me I just can't tell the two apart. - June 16, 2011 at 12:04 PM

#5 Shouldn't you have made your move during the ~20 years you were with her in Canterlot, Twilight? Also, >implying CelestiaxLuna is already happening
#6 Silly Celestia! l2read and/or break glass in case of emergency
#10 Dat cutie mark :D
#11 Luna has excellent taste in entertainment. Good thing he hasn't done MLP:FIM yet...
#13 what Phoe said. You know, if you squint really hard, it looks like a yellow road with a giant evil Fluttershy head at the end of it. Legit anatomy is creepy.
#14 *titters politely*
#17 Lyra was very busy watching TV in the comfort of her own home, thank you very much. Her nonsense is very important.
#20 Twilight gives off Johnny vibes to me -- she would totally go for complicated combos. Although I am a Johnny myself, so maybe I'm just projecting my values onto her...
And I hope that was a sexy foil Time Stop, because "End the turn." as the entire card is awesome.
#21 Imidazole as a cutie mark? Why? (Also do I get a cookie for figuring out what it was? :3 )
#23 This can't end well. She'll sleep through when she's supposed to raise the sun!
#24 Appledash! :D
#26 That's pretty cute. Gilda has discovered Rainbow Dash's one weakness!
#27 Nightmare Moon practiced that line for years, getting the delivery just right. It's a shame she only got to use it twice in the pilot.
#30 No, no, paper bags are all the rage in, uh, Hoofsville! Yeah!
#31 Friend Get! *do do do doooo*
#33 Where are the ponies getting that stuff?
#36 hers is an evil laugh!
#38 self-deprecating humor is a staple of artists everywhere.
#39 Rainbow Dash's line is so great here. :D
#40 Oh man this reminds me of when I sketch ponies and have to add eyes. The first empty eye oval is soo creepy >__<
#41 This is amazing. I love this. I can totally imagine her evil laugh being just like her cheers. Even her laughs are graceful!
#42 Don't let sadness and plot get in the way of d'aaawing at adorable fillies, Phoe! Lookit her! So adorable! eeee~
#44 Good fabric!
#46 Hehe, but that's totally Applejack's fault for not making sure Apple Bloom was paying attention. So inconsiderate, AJ.
#47 What do you expect? A muffin, of course.
#49 And then Twilight failed grad school. Owlowlousicious (yeah I hate that name too now) doesn't look too happy about the... borrowing of his feather either. :D
#51 Pinkies, you'll have so many Pinkies! 200 PINKIES
#54 That's pretty cool too.
#56 Quick! HUG HER RIGHT NOW
#57 Aww. Remind me to read Bubbles so I can go cry later...
#58 teehee! That is a little pony! :D
#60 Rainbow Dash is not amused. The other one.
#61 Twilight, stop being such a meaniepants :c
#63 That is pretty pro. I approve of this reference (because, lacking Phoe's ridiculous omnireference-getting skills, I only get some of them...)
#64 Manehattanite AJ's laugh would be really funny to hear
#65 Rocky should be a comedian! He's very good at it.
#69 teehee~ That little blush is really cute.
#72 That's just mean. Tickling her while she can't escape? Truly evil.
#73 Fluttershy has all the best laughs.
#74 Wait, if she teaches the Boo to giggle at the ghostly, will it make itself disappear? D:
#75 :D Impressive!
#76 I guess you did! I have no idea what you're talking about
#79 Derpy, you look drunk. Don't drink and fly!.
#81 teehee :3 Dashie looks kinda guilty here. What did you do this time...

#87 oo, tears of joy! Must have been a good joke.
#89 That hair is pretty cool.
#90 Hey it's Frith again! Did I mention that I approve of that username? Anyway it's great to see the princesses having fun like that :D
#91 Oh that Seth. smhhhh
#92 "...I'm totally in love with Rainbow Dash?" "...I accidentally Ponyville" shrug. I dunno.
#94 Do you make the drawings talk to you too?
#95 What about a poncho over the dress? That'll keep the whole thing dry! It's genius!
#97 I for one welcome our new floury overlords
#98 Twilight is the best here. :D Purple pony is best pony
#99 Over my head, sorry. :C
#101 Fun fact time! This was my original idea for today! Draw itty bitty twinkie Pinkie learning how to respond to fears. But then... I was searching Ponibooru for refs of pillows on heads (specifically this, which isn't even on there) and found >>21459 and then I was all FFFFUUUUUU- and now you have Tommy Wiseau.
#102 I mean really, if you must be a box you simply have to be fabulous!
#104 Flutterlaugh is, again, one of the cutest things ever.
#107 Bwah ha ha ha *falls over*
#110 Why do we never get to read any of these adorable stories? :c I want to read it now...
#111 So... u jelly, Phoe? (also: d'aaw)
#112 Continuity? In MY little pony show?
#115 So true. OMG PONIES! :D
#116 Sparkly-eyed Twilight is still adorable though. I don't care what you say.
#118 Makes me wonder, though. Do eclipses ever happen in Equestria? (For that matter, moon phases?)
#119 She's protecting her exposed underbelly from more tickling
#122 GLaDOS-y, almost...
#123 "Actually Rarity, that's whining, not laughing..."
#124 Missed opportunity for cutiemarkception here. Just sayin'. Nice water though, I'm totally going to fail at drawing it tonight >__<
#125 Hey, another reference to The Room! Oh wait this is mine. I drew this.
#126 nope over my head :c
#127 aka "SO MUCH PONY"
#129 This is so great. Shortlestia is hilarious xDDDDD. Also I love her expression! LURRVE IT
#130 DAT CUTIE M- oh, fine. I approve of the exploding lemon cutie mark.
#133 So that's how she does it...
#134 A "Place lips here: Brokiss" style one? Because that would be really creepy actually. o_o
#136 it's srs bsnss fluttershy. gosh.
#139 THE NIGHT. WILL LAST. *interrupted by Pinkie*
#141 WHY SO PARTYING or something. I already used all my witty comments today :c
#142 I blame Gilda. It's definitely Gilda's fault here. I don't know what she did but it was her.
#143 Laughing Luna is best Luna! ^^
...and if I missed you, then here: you get a hug. *INTERNET HUG*
LyraxPhoe images
#16 They're so kyoot together :3
#50 Yes. Yes you are Phoe. Actually I said this already but I'm saying it again because it's SO ADORABLE.
#135 Hey Fox E! You said you were cleaning up all the scanner artifacts from this? What kind of stuff did you clean up? Also, you're converting me to PhoexLyraxBonbon... - June 16, 2011 at 2:20 PM
#135 today, + cleaned version. They're supposed to be laying out in a field laughing it up at one thing or another...I think it came out alright, despite my forgetting to actually draw grass.
I had the hardest time trying to figure out how to get Lyra's right arm to work though, still need to work on perspective. Also need to figure out why I every time I draw one head near another, the second one always comes out smaller. *??*
Especially liked #2, #17, #23, #50, #70, #71, #79, #118 and #127 today.
#51 + #84: I was in another world, a world of twenty–thousand Pinkies! I felt strangely hypnotized...
@#70: I actually liked this one. <__< I mean I like grimdark and all, but honestly after my brain made the connection between eye–wing and "KNIFE EYE ATTAAACK," it's more humerous than anything to me. =P
"i can fly with a wing in my eye! :D!"
I'm terrible.
@fetchbeer You good sir, on the other hand, are brilliant and just won the day.
@Xiagu: I mainly clean up eraser smudges, line intersections that shouldn't be there, and this weird crinkly paper look the scanner keeps adding in. I can only assume it's from the paper curving, since I'm still not good enough to draw without resting my hand on the paper, even with a paper towel between said hand and paper.
Mauled by scanner + recovery ward version
GDI SCANNER STOP THAT + Paint.NET picking up the slack
It mostly involves an hour or three of me going all OCD with the brush tool. I could just line tool my way over the line art and dump the pencil version altogether, but I like pencils. =D And pencil shading. Really should move to non–lined paper at some point, though.
Also, vectors.
Phoe–Lyra–BonBon is also great subject matter! A) They're adorable as all getout, and B) Coming up with theme–related materiel with them is simple and fun. So versatile! Plus, blogpony deserves more fanart in any case. =P - June 16, 2011 at 3:03 PM

- Xiagu said...
@Fox E: Oh. I see. Yeah, switching to unlined paper is a good idea :D
I don't really see the crinkly paper effect that you're talking about. Oh well. If you made your lines darker, the scanner might not pick up the light smudges that bother you so much. Give it a try :D If it saves you even one hour out of three it was totally worth it, right?
I like making vector art, but it also takes way longer than sketching something on paper. ...that's why when I'm lazy I revert to pencil instead of Inkscaping something.
And blogpony can never have enough fanart. We all love you, Phoe! :D
@Prismatic Pretzel No problem! I love getting comments, so I decided to give everypony else some love too. ^^
@sUiCiDaLn00b You'll bend it to your will eventually, just keep messing with line darkness and scanner settings.
@Taco Bandit Thanks! But I didn't comment on every submission. I skipped quite a few. :(
Some of them I just couldn't think of anything to comment on. And I'm not the biggest fan of Rarity or Applejack, so comments on those entries are probably lamer.
If I skipped you (not you, Taco, them) I'm sorry! I figure that possibly worse than not getting any comments at all is seeing everypony else get one except for you. So... you guys that I skipped all get another hug. *hug*
As for what my comment meant, it's just that in the show, continuity is mildly unexpected. The Gala arc is basically the only example of plot spanning multiple episodes (not counting the pilot). So when something Applejack mentions offhand in episode 3 actually happens, it's like continuity... eh? ..eh? Yeah it was kinda lame. :S
I dunno if I can do that again! That took quite a long time. Maybe if everypony just picked 5 entries that hadn't been commented on yet and commented on them, the work would get split up way more and everpony would get a comment! ^^
@frith Oh no, I hope that Phoe's pretty pony princess powers don't turn her into an alfafa monster! D:
That was also a cute comic. ^^
HEY SMOCK! #21! I still want that cookie for finding what compound her cutie mark is! (C3N2H4 and WolframAlpha says that particular one is imidazole) I am way too proud of this actually. ...carry on. nothing to see here. - June 16, 2011 at 8:38 PM

@Virga Rainboom
Well, the unicorn's cutie mark is of two dolphins, right? And the dolphin looks like one of the ones from her cutie mark. If the dolphin's cutie mark were the entire body of the unicorn instead of just her head, it would have her cutie mark on it. Which would have that dolphin's cutie mark which would have the unicorn's cutie mark which would...
A cutie mark within a cutie mark WITHIN A CUTIE MARK!
CUTIEMARKCEPTION - June 17, 2011 at 11:56 AM
@Xiagu Ah, that "Inception"! I thought it was a pony reference to when a foal gets their cutie mark, like "inception". (I'm not as swift as the All-Powerful Phoe, sorry.) I was going to draw a full body Ying/Yang unicorn to counter Seafoam's, but ran out of time and space. (How Eisenstein-ian!) I really want to do more art of here with dolphins and will probably come up with a better CM. Thanks for the comment and reply. I will keep an eye on your work to see if I have anything useful to say.

The jailbreak itself does not yet allow you to do much. In fact, it only installs an additional "developer" key on the device, allowing for the installation of additional packages via the Kindle's own update mechanism.
This method works on Kindle 4 version 4.0.0 through 4.1.0.
Carefully read all of the instructions below, and follow them only after you have read everything and are sure what to do.
Universal method- Download and unzip the jailbreak.
- Plug in the Kindle and copy data.tar.gz and ENABLE_DIAGS to the Kindle's USB drive's root
- Safely remove the USB cable and restart the Kindle (Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Restart)
- Once the device restarts into diagnostics mode, select "D) Exit, Reboot or Disable Diags" (using the 5-way keypad)
- Select "R) Reboot System" and "Q) To continue"
- Wait about 20 seconds: you should see the Jailbreak screen for a while, and the device should then restart normally
- After the Kindle restarts, you should see a new book titled "You are Jailbroken", if you see this, the jailbreak has been successful.

What's next? Well, check the Index for misc stuff (custom screen savers? fonts?), but for more fun stuff, you'll want to gain SSH access to this thing. You have two possibilities, one of them depending on the age of your device:
If you have a silver Kindle (the one that came out in fall 2011), there's a good chance the SSH server installed on the diags partition is still working:
- Jot down your Kindle S/N (from the Settings menu).
- Plug in the Kindle and create a blank file named ENABLE_DIAGS in the Kindle's USB drive's root
- Safely remove the USB cable and restart the Kindle (Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Restart). It should reboot in diagnostics mode.
- Plug in the USB cable and go to usb networking: Misc individual diagnostics -> Utilities -> Enable USBnet -> Exit. This will enable network access to your Kindle via USB.
- For Windows users: You'll probably need to install a specific driver, if Windows fail to autodetect everything. This .inf file should do the job (except on Windows XP, see the next paragraph).
- For Windows XP only: In your PC a new device will appear: "RNDIS\Ethernet card", with VID_0525 & PID_A4A2. The driver for this device can be found here, with its accompanying .inf file.
- For Mac OS: Navigate to your network settings (System Preferences -> Network). Select "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget" from the left side panel. Choose 'manual' from the IPv4 drop-down menu.
- Setup your new network interface: IP 192.168.15.201 Subnet 255.255.255.0 (ifconfig usb0 192.168.15.201 on Linux).
- Connect to firstname.lastname@example.com using your favorite SSH client (Mac OS users can use Terminal, type ssh email@example.com). If you unbricked your Kindle with an image from one of our debricking threads, chances are the password will be mario.
- If it isn't, you have a few choices: with your S/N in hand,
- use the online password calculator to find out your password,
- use the info command from KindleTool to get the password, or
- login as framework (this time the password *will* be mario), and export the /etc/shadow file to run it through a cracking tool like John the ripper.
- And you're in :)
- When you done, press Right a few times and go to 'Exit, Reboot or Disable Diags' -> 'Disable Diagnostics'
If you don't (SSH on diags is disabled on newer devices, like all Black Kindles from fall 2012), or if you prefer to have an SSH access from the main system (along with a few other nifty features, like SSH over WiFi), install the USBNet hack.
[edit] Debricking / Un-demoing / Flashing firmware
The recommended tool for debricking and un-demoing Kindle 4 is a Linux LiveCD/LiveUSB called Kubrick.
For other possibilities and information take a look into the "Simple debricking..." thread.

I just installed Norton Family Online yesterday. My son went online this morning. I got 6 emails about attempts to visit a blocked site, and an email that the Safety Minder plug-in is disconnected or disabled. I signed in and found no activity logged. My son's avatar shows the little green icon.
Obviously, the program is working on some level because I received the emails. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what lead to the blocking, because I don't know what the sites are that he visited. All he remembers are a couple of the games he was playing. He's 8 and just clicks on any link that looks interesting, which is why I installed Norton Family Online. It's kind of useless without the activity log.
As for the email about the Safety Minder plug-in, that one's a mystery. I have both Explorer and Firefox, but he would have been using Explorer and he doesn't have a clue what a plug-in is. I'm going to log into windows under his name and see what happens if I try to go to sites in blocked categories.
Norton Safety Minder Version 188.8.131.52
Windows 7
Solved! Go to Solution.
Interesting side note: I went in my son's browser history. He did searches for Dogs 101 Games (Animal Planet) and Beyblades Games, then went to those sites. (Whatever got blocked must have been ads or something else that originated from those sites.) When I went to the Animal Planet website, a got a Norton warning that facebook connect is a blocked site. (Kind of odd, since I didn't click on the facebook connect icon.) Just out of curiosity, I typed "facebook.com" into IE's address field. The address automatically changed to https://www.facebook.com. And, lo and behold, there was FACEBOOK. Amazing, since all social networking sites are supposed to be blocked! I must admit this isn't really a problem for me, given that my 8 year old hasn't expressed the least interest in facebook, but I'm sure the parents of older children wouldn't be happy about this.
Since I probably won't get any response, I went ahead and tried to re-install Safety Minder. Big mistake. Now it doesn't block anything, in addition to showing no activity. And yes, I checked that it was enabled in both IE and Firefox. And yes, my child is shown on the account. And yes, his computer is shown on the account. And yes, the little paw icon is there and enabled. I don't know what else to try since I don't see that anyone else has gotten a solution either.
Hi CandaceF,
For the plug-in message, please check the browser(s) that your child uses to see if the Norton Safety Minder add-ons is enabled. You can find it by clicking Tools -> Manage Add-ons in IE.
After you have the Norton Safety MInder add-ons enabled, please let us know if you get any activity logged or not.
As for blocking facebook website, the program records the website was accessed by the children if children visit facebook via https://www.facbook.com. The program was designed to encourage the communications between parents and children.
"For the plug-in message, please check the browser(s) that your child uses to see if the Norton Safety Minder add-ons is enabled. You can find it by clicking Tools -> Manage Add-ons in IE.

Umm, my last message stated that the add-on was enabled in both IE and Firefox. There has been no activity logged since I originally installed, despite the fact that I have gotten some emails regarding blocked sites.
"As for blocking facebook website, the program records the website was accessed by the children if children visit facebook via https://www.facbook.com."
I don't get what you are trying to say. I went to the NOF settings and there are 27 categories checked off to be blocked. One of the categories is "Social Networking". Stupid me for assuming that "Social Networking" included Facebook, Twitter, etc. And stupid me for assuming the "blocked" meant...well, BLOCKED! FYI, I later went and specifically added facebook.com and twitter.com to be blocked and it worked. I tested the addresses and they were both blocked and I received emails. Unfortunately, this means that the categories I chose to be blocked don't work; you can only block specific addresses. Just to be certain, I tried another category. Are you supposed to be able to view porn even though your program claims it will be blocked?
"The program was designed to encourage the communications between parents and children."
Despite the condescending nature of your remark, I will reply. I do communicate with my child. Unfortunately, it's hard for an 8 year old to understand why internet sites have ads that look like children's games, but turn out to be porn, scams, etc. He clicks on a picture and it redirects to another site, then he calls me over to fix it because he doen't know what he did to make the browser redirect. He doesn't WANT to go to those type of sites. I want to block them so he doesn't get off the site he intended to be on.
Norton claims that the program can block certain categories and also log activity. It does neither. I was hoping for a solution, but it sounds like you're telling me the program is intentionally made this way "to encourage the communications between parents and children."
Do not bother replying to that. That is a pre-defined message that these guys are catering around all over the place. Check other threads, no matter what the issue, you will find the exact reply everywhere.
@ SkyKnight - I figured as much...some employee with no knowledge of the product, entering keywords from my post into their "answer" database and regurgitating whatever it tells them. I replied more out of frustration, and maybe a little hope that a more knowledgeable employee might get the message and offer a real solution.

HI CandaceF,
Thanks for the message.
For the plug-in issue, I think we were writing the posts (your post stating the add-on was enabled) at about the same time, so I didn't see your latest update when I posted mine. I'm sorry about that.
You are right about facebook should get blocked if the category of "Social Networking" is blocked. But I think the issue here is not about category of facebook or it's on the block list or not. It's if a user accesses facebook with http or with https. As you know the forum can be viewed by the children who try to tamper the system, so it kind of prevents me from elaborating what I want to say. If you'd like to know more about his, please send you a private message, so we can discuss more about this.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I can see why you feel this way after reading your further comments about the program encouraging communications. I was just trying to explain the approach of the program. If you have any additional thoughts on this matter, please let me now.
We are checking into this issue with no activity logged.
As for the facebook issue, I tested it by typing in every possible address combination and it let me through every time. That's when I put a specific block on "facebook.com" only, and it worked for http, https, etc. Like I said, facebook itself is not really an issue. My son has no interest in facebook yet. The greater issue is that NOF is not blocking the categories that I have checked off in the settings. The other example of this that I gave earlier was that I was able to access a porn site, even though it should have been blocked. And I'm not talking about being tricky and trying to look for loopholes in the program. I typed "xxx.com" in the address field just to see what would happen and I got a porn site.
Maybe I'm going at this the wrong way, going into detail about what has gone wrong. This is a quote from NOF about it's features:
"An easy-to-read activity report shows you at a glance ALL the web sites your kids visit, or attempt to visit. You can visit the sites your kids have been to and block specific sites or types of sites."
You said the activity report problem is being looked into, so I'll have to wait on that. I discovered how to "block specific sites" when I found the facebook problem. So, that just leaves the "types of sites" feature. Tell me how to do that. (Aside from checking off the little category boxes, as I believe I have stressed that this has not worked.)
Hi CandaceF,
The NOF team has corrected the issue with logs no long available. If you are still experiencing the issue, please let us know.

FBI searches for suspected Glenview bank robber
Kenneth F. White II, 34, is suspected of being the serial bank robber who has hit six banks in the suburbs and on the Northwest Side of Chicago.\Courtesy of the FBI
Article Extras
Updated: December 4, 2012 7:18PM
The FBI has identified Kenneth F. White II as the serial bank robber who has been hitting Northwest Side Chicago and suburban banks.
White is described as armed and dangerous, according to an FBI wanted poster.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest.
He is described as six feet and three inches tall, 150 pounds, and with a thin build. He has a dragon tattoo on his left arm with Chinese writing, and several more tattoos on his right arm, the FBI said.
He typically wears blue jeans, hooded sweatshirts, baseball caps, and in colder weather, a black down parka. He has brown shaved hair and light eyes.
The suspect last targeted the MB Financial at 2200 Waukegan Road at 2:20 p.m. Monday in Glenview. He escaped with an unspecified amount of money and ran south on Waukegan Road before disappearing.
Federal agents are particularly anxious to arrest him before anyone is hurt, said Joan Hyde, an FBI spokeswoman.
"The fear is that as he continues, he might become a little braver or a little more impatient, and the chance of violence increases," Hyde said.
"It's been our experience that bank robbers may start out without inflicting any harm, but as they gain confidence that can change. So we're very interested in getting this guy off the streets before he strikes again."
"He usually hands a teller a note demanding money. He has never displayed a weapon, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have one," Hyde said.
He also is suspected of hitting five Northwest Side Chicago and suburban banks since late October, Hyde said.
They are: the Glenview State Bank branch in the 1800 block of South Arlington Heights Road in Arlington Heights on Nov. 23; the TCF Bank branch in the 2300 block of North Harlem on Nov. 15; and the Harris Bank branch in the 600 block of Busse Highway in Park Ridge on Nov. 9.
Also: the Community Bank branch in the 7100 block of West Irving Park Road on Nov. 5, and the TCF Bank branch in the 1400 block of West Algonquin in Rolling Meadows on Oct. 26.
A reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Anyone with information should call the FBI's Chicago office at (312) 421-6700.

PlayStation Network accounts renamed
PlayStation Network accounts will soon be no more.
In a move toward unifying its online services, PlayStation Network accounts are changing to Sony Entertainment Network accounts. "This helps us get closer to our goal of establishing a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music and more, all accessible from one convenient account," the company said in a statement.
The change is in name only, and users of the service will not have to worry about changing their username or password. A software update for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita will arrive tomorrow to usher in the rebranding, but oddly, this change is not occurring for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). … Read more

The first "Remarkable Senior Ladies Appreciation Dinner" was held recently at the Dobbins Heights Community Center. The purpose of the event was to honor the influence of the "Mothers of our communities," said organizer JF Quick of Hamlet.
The ladies recognized by the celebration are "just a very few of the ladies who have had a great impact on many lives for countless years," he said. The ladies are locals of the county. Some of the women who were honored attended from various areas such as Rockingham, Hamlet and Ellerbe. Ruth Brown was also given recognition for being the eldest at 100 years old.
The vision of the ceremony was entrusted to the hands of Quick, and was an opportunity to simply say "thanks." Quick is an evangelist and community worker known for his love of children and the elderly. Quick plans to travel to Ghana, in West Africa, this year to pray with the young and elderly natives there.
"I desire to show everyone that I ever come in contact with that they are special and that they are loved both by God and I," Quick said. "This, to me, starts with those who have already walked the path in life that we too, as the younger generation, must walk. There is so much work for God to do. I call it 'love work.' God is love; you can't effectively work for him without love."
The women honored at the Remarkable Senior Ladies Appreciation Dinner were: Ruth Brown, Lillie Young, Tommy Taylor, Mary L.Quick, Carrie Little, Frances Dumas, Mae Liza David, Sarah Page, Tomasina Edwards, Channie McManus, Laura Cromer, Rosa Lee Morman.

Vaccine use
Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent infection and severe outcomes caused by influenza viruses.
Safe and effective vaccines have been available and used for more than 60 years. Among healthy adults, influenza vaccine can prevent 70% to 90% of influenza-specific illness. Among the elderly, the vaccine reduces severe illness and complications by up to 60%, and deaths by 80%.
Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of serious influenza complications, and for people who live with or care for high risk individuals.
WHO recommends annual vaccination for (in order of priority):
- nursing-home residents (the elderly or disabled);
- people with chronic medical conditions;
- elderly individuals; and
- other groups such as pregnant women, health care workers, those with essential functions in society, as well as children from ages six months to two years.

Teaching APEX
Sunday, November 29, 2009
Tomorrow I'll be leaving for Dallas, TX for a 4 day teaching assignment on Application Express.
I'm a bit nervous for multiple reasons.
1. I've never had a problem (well, not in my 30's anyway) getting up and speaking in front of people. My style is light on slides and heavy on winging it. I can do that because I don't often give talks on things I don't know intimately. Don't get me wrong, I have a basic outline to follow, but I have never liked lectures and tried to avoid them at all costs.
2. Leaving the family. The last time I was away from my family for more than a day was 3 years ago, when I moved down to Tampa. Before that, it was 2002 when I went to OOW. I was homesick both times. Homesickness...is a strange thing for me. I grew up as an only child and moved 8 times...so I was always the new kid with no friends. I went to college 2000 miles away from home (CO --> FL). It wasn't until I had a family did I first experience the phenomenon.
3. I have to get on a plane. Yes, it's irrational...I know this. You are far more likely to die on the roads (in the US anyway). Again, this has something to do with the family thing. A feeling of mortality? I don't know. I've probably flown 100 times in my life, I used to love flying...the people watching in the terminal, the feeling of takeoff, landing...
In fact, when I was at UF, I rode this plane countless times...without fear. (And I swear there was duct tape on the propellors...)
I've just been out of the habit of flying. No more
Peter Pan
Invincibility syndrome for me I guess.
I know lots of you travel quite frequently and are non-plussed by it. I will be thinking of all the people that I know that travel on a regular basis. It might require a beer or 3 to get on board this "first" time.
4. Almost forgot, I get to meet
. That could be scary too. :)
I guess this post should have been titled,
A Fear of Flying
, would have been more appropriate.
All I can say about "Fear of Flying" is: I fully sympathise!
These days, I avoid getting into those things at all costs.
The only way I can cope with them is under heavy "anesthesia"...

I'm sure that will be my case too! Hopefully I'll only need a beer or 2 to take off that edge and I have pharmaceuticals if all else fails. :)

godzilla1996 wrote:Question: What exactly are you guys doing?
We are making a Godzilla Fighting Game similar to Kaijuu Daikessen for the SNES.
Question:How will it be available to us?
It will be available for Download
Question: How long is it supposed to take?
We are hoping that it will not take too long. But things interferre sometimes...
Question:Do you have any production pictures?
None of the current version of the game... but there are a small few of the original version we were working on.
Hellspawn28 wrote:Q: Will their be any Rebirth of Mothra characters?
A: If this is for the MUGEN game (Which i am assuming, it was), we have Desghidorah, Dagahra, Cretaceous Ghidorah, Grand Ghidorah, Aqua, Rainbow, & Leo sprites that were created by our spriting team, but we have yet to decide when, who, or even if we put them in a later version.
JVM wrote:Q: Do you plan on focusing on the original game monsters for the initial game, or will you be using custom characters from the start?
A: We planned on using mainly sprites from BL & DAM first, maybe 1 or 2 customs, depending on how far they are in development.
Q: Have you decided what version of Godzilla you will use? (Even if you won't say?)
A: We have, It was the first monster we decided. Unfortunately, I do not have clearance to tell which, sorry.
Q: Will you need MUGEN already to play the game?
A: We intend to have the chars already built into the MUGEN, meaning you'll be downloading MUGEN as well as the characters, stages, etc. So you'll be able to just play without any setup, aside from controls.
JVM wrote:^ Do you guys have access to any sprites besides the ones in the big 'Godzilla Sprite Legend' on DA?
Q: Do you plan on using any sprites from other games, or will you only create custom sprites for those not in DAM/BL?

Microsoft's Windows operating system, running on a 64-bit machine provides enhanced security with driver signing of system and low level drivers. This policy, called the kernel mode code signing policy, disallows any unauthorized or malicious driver to be loaded. [1.]
The TDL4 rootkit bypasses driver signing policy on 64-bit machines by changing the boot options of Microsoft boot programs that will allow an unsigned driver to load.

Pike Brewery gears up for 5th Annual Chocofest
on January 25, 2013 @ 1:25 pm (Updated: 1:29 pm - 1/25/13 )
The event highlights the affinity between chocolate and beer, Pike's Charles and Rose Ann Finkel tell KIRO Radio's Let's Eat Show.
"As the years have passed we've added a number of other things - foods and beverages alike," says Rose Ann.
Charles says Seattle has the highest per capita consumption of craft beer. "We have more varieties, and more people drink them here than in any other place."
The Finkels got into the beer business because they are food enthusiasts. "We love flavor and taste and character."
When the Finkels determined that people can't live by chocolate alone they started to involve some of Seattle's best restaurants to purvey savory items along with with the sweet in their annual festival that raises money for the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance.
That stout with notes of chocolate in it - that won't be the only beverage offered. Pike Brewery will also proudly boast a selection of wine, meads and ciders too.
On Feb. 10, sixty-nine participating local wineries, distilleries, cider makers, brewers, and importers along with restaurants, brewers, bakers, creameries, and a coffee roaster will sample their wares alongside Pike Brewery. Owners and representatives will be there to share their stories.
Let's Eat can be heard on KIRO Radio Saturday at 4 p.m., Sunday at noon. Available anytime ON DEMAND at MyNorthwest.com.

The developments came three days after a shootout, standoff and fire at a cabin in the mountains east of Los Angeles. Dorner's remains were identified through dental records.
Dorner was fired from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2009 for falsely accusing his training officer of kicking a subdued suspect. After unsuccessfully challenging his dismissal in court, police say, he launched a campaign of guerrilla warfare against the LAPD, targeting numerous officers involved in his case and their families.
Dorner was cornered and died Tuesday afternoon in the San Bernardino Mountains, about 100 miles east of the city he had once sworn to protect and serve.
The 33-year-old former Navy officer holed up in the cabin after a shootout with law enforcement that left a sheriff's deputy dead and another wounded, McMahon said.
The cabin caught fire when police shot tear gas canisters into it, McMahon told reporters this week.
Although the canisters included pyrotechnic tear gas, which generates heat, "We did not intentionally burn that cabin down," he said Friday, echoing earlier comments he's made on the case.
In a manifesto announcing his planned rampage, Dorner said nothing had changed in the LAPD since its scandals of the 1990s, the Rodney King beating and the Rampart police corruption case. Those allegations have struck a chord with some who say Dorner was seeking justice.

[Solved] IE10 ... how is it?
Soo...how is IE10? Is it good to work with CSS3 and whatnot? IE9 got better for sure.
IE8 makes me want to pull my hair out...but I know people are still using that piece of garbage.
I may just get my Mac a Windows 8 for Bootcamp and see if it's a good OS.
@robertallen Yes. Go to 'My Profile', scroll down until you see 'My Preferences' and choose your options.
Edit: Did you change your post?
Sorry Christopher...I edited this with something I wanted to discuss...as I just noticed it. Thank you much. I was looking at my profile area at the top.
I was too embarrassed that I couldn't find it.
@robertallen Ha. No problem.
LOL I tried to hide my embarrassment but you caught me.
For those who read this, I was asking for replies to e-mails, then I found it down the site a bit more.
Can we pretend this didn't happen? No? How about I give you $5 and you saw nothing? LOL

Adults These Days!: People Would Rather Lose Their Wedding Rings Than Lose Their Phones
Okay, let's all 'fess up to it. Come on, guys: Let the truth set ye free!
We all love our phones a little bit more than we actually care to admit. I mean, when it comes down to it, to a lot of us our phones are as essential to us and our lives as food or air or sleep or chocolate. Really, I can't even begin to imagine how I would cope with anything more than a few hours without my trusty iPhone. How will I check my twitter feed every 5 minutes? How will I casually look up the biographies of random Hollywood stars? For the love of God, how will I Instagram my lunch?
I wish I was being sarcastic here but I'm really not. I'm actually as much of a tech-junkie as the next person. Not only am I a tech-junkie, but I'm a tech-junkie that occasionally mopes about how everyone is way too plugged-in and no one enjoys real life anymore and OH MY GOD WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LOOKED AT THE SKY?
This is why when I read surveys like this I'm both a little bit horrified and a little bit unsurprised.
Apparently, an extra 87% of people would go more nuts over losing something as vital as their phones than the 77% of those who would stress over losing something as meaningless as their wedding rings. Because, you know, one is a symbol of lifelong commitment and the other is just a pretentious accessory that you mostly use to impress people (ah, yes, sarcasm).
It turns out that the only thing that fills us with more dread than not being able to post daily pictures of our Starbucks morning coffee onto Instagram is losing our wallets.
And that's not all.
This survey revealed that most people are actually more attached to their phones than they are to pets and friends. But, hey, what with all the liking and the tweeting we've got to do all day, whose got time for actual friends? Hell, with your trusty phone in hand the whole world is virtually your friend.
Also, an overwhelming number of the people surveyed have admitted to a feeling known as "outlet rage." You know, that feeling we all get when the phone alerts us to only 10% battery left and makes us break out in local rashes. Or that feeling you get of wanting to throw heavy objects when you walk into a Starbucks and realize that all the power outlets are taken. When we find ourselves out of touch with the digital world (or even on the brink of being out of touch) we get some very intense feelings of withdrawal–you know, like a junkie.
So the next time you freak out because you're out of cell reception, or your phone runs out of battery or, heaven forbid, you forget it in a restaurant, remember–you're not alone. And then remember, you can probably buy another phone. Really, its okay. There are plenty of tweeting, liking, Instagraming fish in the sea. Or peaches in the orchard. Or birds in the flock.
Point is: relax, take a deep breath, and maybe put the phone down every once in a while AND LOOK AT THE SKY.
All my love!
