Anyway, this is a pretty impressive ponification of CSI. Click the image for it!

Rainbowdash started this sunglasses thing. It's spiralling out of control. Still, it was funny.
Big Mac and AJ gave me a good laugh, and I just can't get enough ponies in sunglasses. Good work.
This is unquestionably the most absurdly stupid thing I've seen for some time.
I love it.
"Can't we have a cute, non-psychotic Pinkie Pie crossover just once?"
No, because "Cupcakes" is truth. :P
And I'm so tempted to make some snarky comment about the battle for first here...
Well it looks like you all now have a
*puts on sunglasses*
Hoof on things
@Travis Smith That pun was so bad I'm considering sending you to the sun.
You know, I never did like the reputation that Cupcakes gave Pinkie. I'm sure it's a well-written story, but I don't see myself ever reading it.
I've been sent to the moon twice and Mars
Wow, epic (if slighty odd.) creppy Big mac face is creppy.
I think that Part of One is what really gave her that reputation. Without it, Cupcakes would probably never have been written.
@Luna No other me! He'll destroy what's left of the ruins in the Everfree!!!
@Princess Luna
Why would I do that? That's where nightmare moon was defeated, so it will remain
Dash is all "Not Amused" face at Pinkie.
In my headcanon, Pinkie randomly drugs, kidnaps, and shackles Dash in her basement at least once a week, but it's for stuff Dash won't do on her own, like mane-cuts, flossing, wing preening, taking her vitamins, washing behind her ears...
@Travis Smith IDK :lunashrugplz: might have just decided to out of rage or something. And this may sound dumb that I'm asking but are you a self-insert?
I don't like the Cupcakes reference. It's overused.
Besides that, the animation is awesome. I laughed at the YEAAHHHHHHHHHH and FUUUUUUUUU parts =D
@Princess Luna
As a self insert no, but I do intend to send in my fic, what I'm doing is just acting like Im part of the thing, in a way its like trolling but I'm just making random stuff , trying to make a name for myself in here.
It's always been a dream to at least be mentiond in something on the Internet. Basiclly I just make it seem my fiction is a hidden part of the show. I take example that I'm a former guard, I work for Prince Catasrophe who is ruler of the Steel Empire that exists beyond Equestria's border. This stems from my imagination mostly
Actually, Cupcakes beat "Party of One" by 13 to 16 weeks. And before you ask, no it didn't influence the episode, which had long ago been written and the voice tracks recorded.
Now this is how I wish the fandom had reacted to Cupcakes.
@Apple Bloom I thought you'd like the reference if you remember what you did at the end of the story. Can't decide what I really thought of the story. They were really out of character at times. The gore you eventually shrug off if you've happened to venture into the wrong side of the "dead internet". I hadn't shuddered so much since that day...
@Travis Smith I wanna preread something without the frustrating job of it at EqD so I might wanna take a look at it...
@Travis Smith It is locked from editing right? I remember the trollattacks taken by My Little Alicorn back when it had slowed updates.
I'm simply bewildered at how much of the fandom takes (pure) Grimdark pony ANYTHING seriously. It's why Cupcakes is the only Pure Grimdark fic I actually respect, it's just gore porn for the sake of itself and not trying to be taken more seriously than the shock-gore trollfic it is.
The WORST thing about Cupcakes is anyone who reads it and considers i6t's canon possibilities. Missing the point much?
ProTip: All pure grimdark fics are either trollfics, tongue-in-cheek black humor, or taking themselves way too seriously.
@Princess Luna
It should be, otherwise there will be caskets to fill by morning
I'm not a fan of the fic itself, but the "Psycho Pinkie" concept (as seen in fanart and PMVs) is one of the things which got me interested in the series in the first place. So I can't say I'm sorry it was written.
Nice to hear it, I'll get cracking on reading and start on Spelling/Grammatical errors if any are noticeable.
@DPV111 Whoa there, before I go did someone consider something like baked Rainbow Dash as possible canon? The nerve of someponies...
Oh Seth... /shakes head sadly/
Do you mean Pinkie's role?
@Travis Smith
Not canon exactly (I mean Dash is alive in the show obviously), but a plausible what-if based on the canon characters.
Like: "Yeah, Pinkie could totally go insane and be baking random ponies into cupcakes in secret."
This was even more prevalent after Party of One made it canon that pinkie's emotional and psychological makeup is somewhat fragile.
It just boggles my mind how fans seem to have some innate need to validate fanon and headcanon despite those things being by definition invalid to canon.
I have literally seen posts that are borderline dissertations about how this could actually happen.
I've seen the same damn thing exhibited by readers of a certain other, much much more disturbing grimdark rapefic where Rarity has a mental break.
Man, buck Cupcakes. And anything involving this "psycho-Pinkie" belief.
Please. Can we give that whole part of the fanon a rest?
It will never go away as long as we keep taking it seriously and reacting to it. It just makes it matter and keeps it relevant.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person who found Cupcakes humorous. It obviously wasn't meant to be taken seriously, so why do people freak out about it so much? Personally, I like the Psycho!Pinkie fanon, but I love good old canon Pinkie too...
I agree, Psycho Pinkie can be fun as long as you don't take it too seriously.
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Applejack had me LOLin big time! xD
To be precise, I don't freak out over Cupcakes, I freak out over people who take Cupcakes seriously, as DPV111 described. If there weren't so many people treating straight-maned "Pinkamina" as a repressed or potential psychotic dark side of Pinkie Pie, I wouldn't give a flying fickle finger of fate about Cupcakes.
It's like you've been reading my notes for fics file. I seriously have a Cupcakes subversion where Pinkie just ran out of sugar and is over zealous in making Dash tell her where she hid the candy. Culmination in Pinkie tickling Dash with her own feathers and Dash giving up her stash of candy canes.
But yes. The number of people who think Cupcakes is fallout from Party of One is staggering. The number of idiots chanting "Party made Cupcakes canon" is too. It's like they have absolutely zero concept of character. PartyOfOne!Pinkie turned inward and became dismissive of her former friends and wanted nothing to do with them.
The only reference that kills a mood FASTER than a Cupcakes ref is the phrase "20% cooler in 10 seconds flat".
Thanks for the lack of Cupcakes warning. I really appreciated that.
I'd think the whole "Can't we have a cute, non-psychotic Pinkie Pie crossover just once?" thing would count as a warning...
Not necessarily. The fact that everyone associates Pinkie with straight hair as being automatically psychotic could have just meant that she'd, ya know, have straight hair, and nothing else.
I consider Seth's comment as insufficient for a warning.
I almost cried again when I saw that cupcakes reference. That horrible image of RD is still in my head...
Heh fun scenario. There was already one that I can't remember the name of where Pinkie had Dash tied up for Applejack who knocked Dash out for stealing apples and Pinkie was taking "samples" from Dash but it was to make cupcakes FOR her...
But yeah I would be most amused if it was like a semi-regular routine for them. Pinkie's randomness and Dash's to the max.
Might I add that it was totally worth it. Just throwing that out there.
Is this on YouTube? I Am on mobile and can't see it yet
Beginning with AJ and Big Mac made me laugh, good flash ani :)
Why does everyone show Pinkie Pie as a psycho? The favorite character of my friend who showed me mlp fim, was Pinkie Pie. He had seen in mlp fim a whole world, he tolerated gore and other things, but this flash was enough. This flash was the waterdrop that the barrel overflowed. I dont think, that it was in Lauren Faust's mind, letting Pinkie Pie act like a psycho. I dont care, if this post will be removed by admins. With bronies like them, who needs enemies. Sorry for my English.
Why would you think your post would be removed? Anyway no offense, but I think your friend would be better off just getting over it. People enjoy the MLP: FIM in different ways, that's all there is to it. Who are you to say they can't?

Sofia Arnold's Paintings Are Part Of The American Folk Movement
Sofia Arnold's paintings and drawings are steeped in folk tradition, a time passed, combining the old and the new, modern life and a traditional way of living. Her work lives in a conundrum – the attempt to live in an unspoilt environment that's constantly being eroded by modern life and technology. Her world is fantastical, a place in which there is an ongoing narrative between man and nature, geography and lifestyle.
Here's what she has to say about her work:
I am moving around the country with the long-term goal of settling in the midwest. I am interested in ruralism and neo-folk movements, but from a voyeuristic rather than participatory viewpoint.
I see the people and animals in my paintings as somewhat recently transposed and in the process of reconciling old ways of living and thinking with a new environment and new demands. My process is very open to accident and chance in the initial stages, after which I carefully edit the objects, colors, and movement of the piece.
Most material objects in my work serve as fading markers of the intersection between old and new, familiar and unfamiliar. I am also experimenting with forcing some of my autobiographical idols and demons and into this environment, just to see what happens to them.

This view shows I-44 looking east from the MKT Railroad. The Broken Arrow Expressway interchange is in the distance. Until the late 1970s, the eastbound 31st Street/Memorial Drive exit ramp was located just east of the Broken Arrow Expressway (the remnants of this configuration can be seen on the overhead 31st Street/Memorial Drive exit sign), which created some problems with the proximity of that ramp to the eastbound I-44 entrance ramp from the Broken Arrow Expressway. The ramp then was relocated to become part of the Broken Arrow Expressway exit ramp, with traffic now following the frontage road through the interchange and then exiting to the right. A revised eastbound entrance ramp to I-44 from the Broken Arrow Expressway was built in place of the former exit ramp. In the background, the Embassy Suites Hotel can be seen rising above the lower-level exit signs. The hotel is being built on the site of the former Continental Theater, which was demolished in 1981. Photograph taken September 16, 1984.

At the trial of the former Bosnian Serb army chief, Ratko Mladic, the prosecution played a recording of his order to shell the Sarajevo neighbourhoods which did not have many Serb residents.
The recording, which was made by the Sarajevo authorities while intercepting Mladic's communications, was replayed in the courtroom during the testimony of the protected witness RM-115, who worked at a Sarajevo hospital at the time.
On the recording, Mladic can be heard telling his subordinate Mirko Vukasinovic, to target the Sarajevo neighbourhood of Pofalici, because "not many Serbs live there", some streets in the Sarajevo downtown area, as well as to "fire a volley on the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina".
Mladic went on to say that the purpose of those attacks was to "blow the minds" of people in Sarajevo and prevent them from sleeping.
The witness said that she listened to radio on May 28, 1992 and heard Mladic ordering the shelling, adding that she was wounded during an artillery attack on the hospital that night. She said that she went into coma after the wounding and underwent medical treatment for six months.
Explaining how she knew that it was Mladic's voice on that recording, witness RM-115 said that "even small children" could recognize that voice.
During the cross-examination the defence attorney, Miodrag Stojanovic, suggested that the recording of Mladic's order was fabricated.
Stojanovic quoted another intercepted conversation in which Mladic said that the Bosnian Army had impersonators who could mimic his voice.
The defence repeated an earlier allegation that the Bosnian army, which were positioned around the hospital where the witness worked, opened fire on the Bosnian Serb positions, but the witness said that she did not know anything about it, because she spent her time in the basement.
At the beginning of cross-examination Stojanovic said, on Mladic's behalf, that he was truly sorry for her suffering.
Mladic, who was arrested in May last year, has pleaded not guilty to charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of the laws and customs of war during the Bosnian conflict between 1992 and 1995.
The trial is due to continue on August 28.
In July 1995 Srebrenica was shelled and occupied by the Army of Republic of Srpska,VRS, despite being declared a protected area by the United Nations. More than 7,000 people were killed, the victims of genocide.
Key dates and events in the Bosnia war.
The Bosnian Serb commander's role in the genocide committed in Srebrenica is described in detail in many indictments and verdicts pronounced before local and international judicial institutions.

Your Vote: A Guide to the Nov. 6 Election
Kirk Dillard or A. Ghani? Peter Roskam or Leslie Coolidge? Judy Biggert or Bill Foster? A guide to the ballot choices for Congress, state senate, county board and more.
The presidential race has become increasingly contentious over the last few months. For most voters who will hit the polls Tuesday, choosing the next president is the most important ballot they will cast. But, locally there have also been a few races garnering strong local interest. Constituents with an interest in the race between Peter Roskam and Leslie Coolidge have shared letter after letter on Patch. Roskam, the incumbent, was given several opportunities to debate Coolidge, including a request from Patch to participate, but he chose not to meet his challenger. Judy Biggert, the incumbent in the new 11th district, is said to be neck-and-neck with her challenger Bill Foster. Rudy Giuliani stumped for Biggert during a trip to Chicago. …

Trayvon Martin's parents announced a new initiative, and a website, that they will run in their son's honor ahead of a hearing in the second-degree murder case.
"I hope you all have not forgotten about my son," Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother, said at a news conference Friday morning.
Fulton and Martin's father, Tracy Martin, spoke about their new Change For Trayvon Movement.
The family wants to gather volunteers and funds to actively support candidates, elected officials and causes that will help revise laws like Florida's Stand Your Ground.
"We need to change these laws," Fulton said. "Please support us with this effort."
The initiative already has its own website -- changefortrayvon.com.
Meanwhile, a hearing in the case Friday may determine whether Martin's school and online records will be released to George Zimmerman's defense team.
Fulton and Tracy Martin spoke about the hearing.
"Trayvon is the victim. We should not attack the victim," Tracy Martin said. "Trayvon is dead and there is nothing we can do to bring him back."
Zimmerman's attorneys filed a motion to release the records, which would include the 17-year-old's Facebook, Twitter and mobile phone communications.

Love the Desk. Packaging Needs Imprvmt
By Cat
from Alexandria, VA
About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about South Shore Element Home Office Corner Computer Desk in Chocolate Finish:
I love this desk, it looks great and fits my space perfectly. It's not mentioned in the product description, but the CPU cabinet space comes with a shelf, useful if you don't put a CPU in it (as I didn't). I made that cabinet more useful by installing drawers mounted to the base of the bottom of the cabinet and the shelf. I love that this desk has multiple little spaces to put things, but they're not best utilized without extra products. I purchased an item similar to the one product photo for the space about the file drawer, it has two drawers and is a perfect place to put things like tape, staples, and other office supplies that are nice to have handy. I also purchased document boxes to place in the spaces of the movable two shelf piece. With my additions, the desk looks great, fits perfect, AND has ample and convenient storage space for everything I want to have at close reach[...]

| Correction: Balbrae's Audio Affirmations are NOT Moving to MerlinWorld.Com
Hi, All: Sorry for the confusion. I will NOT be continuing to post audio affirmations at MerlinWorld.Com, for administrative reasons. However, I will try to post them at a website that is more receptive to receiving such multiple, one-sided postings. I think I might post them at Affirmations - Spiritual Forums. However, it will take 2 weeks to get the affirmations posted as links on that website, due to a new-member-2-week-delay rule to post external links (i.e. to the audio affirmations on kiwi.com). (I am a new member there, "Balbrae") However, it is possible that I may not be able to post the audio affirmations there, as well, due administrative reasons. So please don't quote me at this time as to where the audio affirmations will be posted, for certain. The best way to find them in the future would be through using a Google Search. A Google Search on "Balbrae's Audio Affirmations" or the like will likely reveal the website location at which the audio affirmations will be posted in the future. I will continue to offer the free service for making audio affirmations for you all. In the meantime, thanks to all who have expressed an interest in the power of audio affirmations. I think they work marvelously, to help us rewrite our ill-serving, habituated unconscious beliefs. I believe the results are dramatic and long-lasting. So I will continue to try to spread the joy and offer the free-audio-affirmation service at a site that is friendly to such postings. Cheers! |

The Maximum Security Courthouse
12 May 2011
One of the best things about being licensed in multiple jurisdictions is the opportunity to observe emerging trends. The opportunity to see trends obviously applies to the development of case law and judicial attitudes.
One less obvious opportunity is to see changes in courthouse security. What I've seen is more than a little disheartening. More

National Weather Service officials say a barn and an office building roof were damaged south of Tylertown after 8 a.m. Monday.
The storm moved northeast, damaging a home in Dexter and the roof of a home in Marion County south of Columbia.
Shawn O'Neal, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Slidell, La., says surveyors will examine the damage to determine if the storm was a tornado.
A squall line associated with a cold front downed trees and caused minor damage across Mississippi. An apartment complex roof was damaged in Louisville, a gazebo flipped over in West Point and a tree fell through a trailer near Meadville.
Louisiana also had storm damage.

The Rowdy Pards, in cooperation with The Boys of Company C, are looking to raise a company of Federals for next Spring's McDowell event. The goal of the company will be to provide the Federal forces with a headquarters company and a full color guard.
Those of you without a home unit for the event are welcome to fall in with us. We have been the core around other units for numerous events in the past, including several previous McDowells, "War on the James," "Bummers" and "Into the Wildnerness." Individuals, small messes or even squads will be integrated into our group. While not an immersion event, all participants will be encouraged to exclude modern talk, song, etc. during the weekend.
Those who have participated in previous McDowells will know what an outstanding locale this is. The chance to recreate the battle on the original ground is rare these days. Expect a great time.
Those of you who have never done a campaigner event are welcome to join our merry band and get mentoring and a friendly reception. We only ask that you bring a good attitude and a willingness to "do it right." Whatever you don't know, we'll help you learn. If you kit's not yet where you want it to be (or think Campaigners expect it to be), we'll help you get ready and provide loaner gear if available.
The company tentatively will be commanded by Mike Murley, one of the outstanding leaders in our hobby.
A list server will be set up shortly to keep those in the group informed about the event in general and our company in particular.

Neither do I. I will admit some of the talk from the right has been hyperbolic. But the reality is the left is trying to use Sandy Hook to get the gun control they've always wanted. Two things are laughable here. First there is Scarborough lecturing the gun rights crowd that they can't take your guns, the 2nd Amendment won't allow it. Yes, we know the 2nd Amendment doesn't allow it. That doesn't mean they won't take incremental steps to erode the 2nd Amendment.
Two: accusing gun rights advocates of being the ones exploiting this tragedy. The left didn't wait for the bodies to be removed from Sandy Hook elementary school before they started blaming the gun and the NRA. And the reality of the situation is that whatever gun control measures are put in place there will be another Sandy Hook. And they'll come back for more gun control. And another in the future, and they'll come back for more
Bonus point: Scarborough paints universal background checks as one of those "little things" that should be done right away. Universal has been defined by most observers as all gun transactions. To parahrase the Vice President who, coincidentally, has taken point on the gun debate, "that's a big deal." And the reality is the only gun control that will stop the next Sandy Hook is to confiscate all guns in America. No, that won't happen. But Scarborough is in denial if he doesn't believe such wishful thinking is mainstream in the anti-gun left.

Up Front 12.15
Nollen Plaza makeover?
Matt McCoy?s talking about giving Nollen Plaza a makeover. He?s talking about livening up the place, like David Kruidenier did with Gray?s Lake.
Due to mechanical problems, the downtown landmark?s water fountain no longer works. The Civic Center of Greater Des Moines, Downtown Community Alliance and the city spent $30,000 to keep the fountain running last year, but it?s beyond repair. The Downtown Community Alliance has already contracted with Project for Public Spaces, a New York City urban planning firm, to brainstorm ideas for reinventing the space with the major downtown stakeholders. The DCA is also talking to the people who built it, getting their ideas for the future of the park. The discussion yielded suggestions that range from doable now (installing movable tables and chairs, planting flowers and hosting live music events that serve adult beverages) to doable after a fund-raising campaign. Other ideas discussed were getting Splash, a nearby seafood restaurant, to set up outdoor tables and chairs in the plaza and bringing a restaurant to the ground floor of adjacent Capital Square.
?There was no shortage of ideas,? says McCoy, vice president of community development for the DCA and a state senator. ?We do have a shortage of money.?
However, McCoy is optimistic. ?Every time this community has been challenged to do something like this, they?ve always risen to the challenge,? he says.
McCoy sees 2005 as a planning year, and the project taking shape in 2006-07.
?We want to get people excited about the space again,? he says.
Very goods ideas. I hope they keep a fountain in the complex. I'd love to see some jumping fountains somewhere.

NEW Norwex Kitchen Cloths and Kitchen Towels
Norwex knows that we all love NEW and improved items for our home, so they recently made available NEW and IMPROVED Norwex Kitchen Cloths and Tea Towels in two gorgeous colors! I'm so excited about this because our kitchen cloths and towels are always a favorite for my valued Norwex customers and hostesses. They are also one of my top 3 gift giving items!
These stylish new colors will compliment your kitchen decor. Both the Norwex Kitchen Cloths and Norwex Kitchen Towels are made from Norwex's outstanding Antibac microfiber. These new and improved kitchen towels are extra absorbent and are perfect for a variety of kitchen jobs. Due to popular demand, you are now able to buy the kitchen cloths and kitchen towels individually!
The SALMON Kitchen Towel is pictured to the left. It is 25.5″ x 13″ in size and can be paired with the Salmon Kitchen Cloth that is 13″ x 10″ in size. To view more information on either item, please check out the links below:

As I mentioned in my Previous Post "So Many Norwex Kitchen Cloths – Which One to Use?", the Norwex kitchen towels and kitchen cloths are truly one of my favorite products. These are similar to the Tea Towel Sets that we carry in Gold, Green and Beige, but are a slightly different weave. These new kitchen cloths and towels will be more absorbent and thicker than the original tea towels and kitchen cloths. Give them a try, and please let me know which of our five kitchen towels and cloths are now YOUR favorite! I look forward to hearing from you!

Bones play many roles in the body — providing structure, protec...
Expert Corner—The latest health information right at your fingertips
Get tips and advice on popular health topics at our Health Blog
The latest health information at your fingertips.
It is always a challenge to eat healthfully and know you are getting the right amount of essential nutrients and other important dietary constituents like fiber and phytochemicals. This challenge is even harder for adults over 50 years as their physical activity and the total amount of food they consume declines with advancing age. While eating less may result in fewer calories consumed and match their lower energy (calorie) requirement, it becomes harder to meet their requirement for vitamins and minerals which remain the same as younger adults or, in some cases as recent research shows, are actually higher. Therefore, it is more important for older adults to choose mostly nutrient-rich foods like fruit and vegetables, whole grains, eggs, fish, and low-fat dairy products and eat less of foods like cookies, candies, and potato chips.
One of the most important – if not the most important – thing you can do to stay healthy is to maintain a healthy weight and waist circumference. Evidence indicates that your waist circumference is the most accurate predictor of your risk of developing metabolic diseases, like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. This is because fat accumulating in your abdomen infiltrates your vital organs like the liver and pancreas, leading to a rapid decline in their critical functions in fat and glucose metabolism. A healthy weight and waist circumference is all about energy balance – "calories in" from the diet and "calories out" through physical activity. If you want to lose weight, you need to eat less and exercise more. No weight loss program can be successful without improved exercise habits.
Ideally, you would get all your vitamins and essential minerals from your diet, although some of them, like vitamin E or D and calcium, may be hard to get even from a healthful diet. As a "health insurance," and to fill known gaps in certain vitamins and essential minerals in the average US diet, I recommend the following supplements:

Solar-energy industry faces dim future
CSU mechical engineering professor W.S. Sampath says solar is in "terrible" shape around most of the world.
So, when Bacorn says "sales are down," you know he's understating matters.
Indeed, solar-energy companies here and nationwide are in the midst of one of the worst downturns in their industry, beset by excess manufacturing capacity, which has led to oversupply, a nearly 50 percent decline in wholesale prices and intense competition from the Chinese.
U.S. manufacturers of solar panels brought a trade case against their Chinese rivals last year, claiming the Chinese government had improperly subsidized them, allowing those companies to sell at prices below the cost of production. In response, Congress this spring imposed substantial tariffs on the Chinese firms.
But it hasn't been enough.
Shyam Mehta, a senior analyst at GTM Research in Boston, doesn't think the situation will improve any time soon in what he describes as an "overcrowded and cutthroat PV landscape."
"Over the past year and a half, the photo-voltaic

Through a 17-week N.F.L. season, there are certain players who stand out each week as the most interesting story line for their team. With many of the playoff teams already decided, we chose this week to take a look at the players who stood out, not only on the field but off it.
Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins
He does not have as many come-from-behind wins as Andrew Luck and is not on quite as big of a roll as Russell Wilson, but among the celebrated rookie quarterbacks, Griffin seems like the one with the brightest future. Week in and week out, he was the most talked-about Redskin, achieving nearly rock-star levels of attention from fans and the news media. More important, he backed up the hype with sensational play.
Running Back
Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
If you start the year as a question mark because of relatively recent knee surgery, and end it with a chance of breaking the single-season rushing record, you are the All-Matchups running back. It has not always been pretty for the Vikings, who have seen their passing game fall apart, but Peterson has made a team with Christian Ponder at quarterback worth watching. That is more impressive than Chris Johnson's ability to magically disappear and reappear depending on the opponent, Arian Foster's Twitter musings or Marshawn Lynch being Marshawn Lynch.
Wide Receiver
Brandon Marshall, Chicago Bears
Calvin Johnson broke Jerry Rice's single-season record for yards receiving, but managed to give matchup writers very little to work with. He performed well each week, his team generally lost and he did not have anything all that interesting to say. Marshall, on the other hand, talked trash to the Green Bay defense, suggested his teammates should lose their jobs if they continued to fail to produce and was the only consistently interesting thing on the Bears' offense. Along the way he broke his franchise's record for yards receiving.
Tight End
Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
It had been joked about for years that Tony Romo looked for Witten on nearly every play, but this season it seemed to be true. Not only did Witten become the Cowboys' franchise leader in career receptions, but he also had a career-high 18 in Week 7. Last week became the third tight end to record 100 receptions in a season, and he will be adding to his record of 103 this week.
Defensive lineman
J.J. Watt, Houston Texans
He had a good nickname (J.J. Swat), he got off to a fast start, he is closing the season well and his team is one of the top seeds heading into the playoffs even after losing its emotional leader (linebacker Brian Cushing). His pursuit of the single-season sacks record — he already is just the third A.F.C. player to record as many as 20 — was impressive, but his 15 pass deflections were just as much fun.
Von Miller, Denver Broncos; Aldon Smith, San Francisco 49ers
Both players owe a great deal of their success at getting to the quarterback to another star defender on their defense (Elvis Dumervil for Miller and Justin Smith for Aldon Smith) but they have both terrorized opposing passers all year, and have increased their dominance as the season wore on. Smith will likely finish with more sacks, and could even break Michael Strahan's single-season record, but Miller appears to have a narrow edge in both well-rounded play and personality.
Defensive back
Richard Sherman, Seattle Seahawks
The entire Seahawks secondary is intimidating, but none more than Sherman. A 6-foot-3 cornerback, with dreadlocks bursting from his helmet, Sherman can shut down the passing game as both a ball hawk and a fierce tackler. In prime time last week, when his team was putting on a show against the favored 49ers, Sherman politely applauded at one of the few passes San Francisco able to complete against him. The show of confidence embodied everything that has made the Seahawks such a fascinating story in the season's second half.
Special Teams
Greg Zuerlein, St. Louis Rams
If there is such a thing as a rookie sensation at placekicker, Zuerlein fits the bill. Having successfully made 14 kicks of greater than 40 yards, including a personal best of 60 yards, Zuerlein earned himself two nicknames: Greg the Leg and Legatron. The last kicker to inspire similar praise in such a short period of time was Sebastian Janikowski, though Zuerlein seems far more stable than the Polish Cannon.
Packers (11-4) at Vikings (9-6)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Line: Packers by 3
The Packers and the Seahawks are finally square. A terrible call gave Seattle an undeserved touchdown and a win over Green Bay in Week 3. But the Seahawks made up for it last week by beating San Francisco, which gives the Packers control of their own playoff fate. A win gives them a first-round bye and at least one game at Lambeau Field.
Standing in the way will be a Vikings team that needs a win to get into the playoffs and can best accomplish that by running the ball early and often with Adrian Peterson. It is probably too tall an order for Peterson to run for 208 yards, which is what he would need to break Eric Dickerson's single-season record of 2,105, but every time the ball is in his hands it is not in those of Aaron Rodgers or Christian Ponder. For the Vikings, that is ideal.
Pick: Packers
Cardinals (5-10) at 49ers (10-4-1)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Line: 49ers by 17
A win would give the 49ers a second consecutive N.F.C. West division crown. Combine that with a Green Bay loss, and the 49ers would get a first round-bye and play at home in the playoffs against anyone other than Atlanta. It may not matter where they are playing should Justin Smith not return soon. A runner-up for defensive player of the year last season, Smith's importance has been proven in his absence; the team has looked lost since he left San Francisco's Week 15 win over New England with an elbow injury. Without Smith, the 49ers' defense goes from amazing to average.
Pick: 49ers
Rams (7-7-1) at Seahawks (10-5)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Line: Seahawks by 11
For the last three weeks, the Seahawks have been the best team in football. Their offense has finally found the swagger that their defense has had all season and they have become the team no one wants to face in the playoffs. The stakes are low for Seattle, with a playoff spot secured and a division title unlikely, as it would require a San Francisco loss to Arizona. If they let up at all, the Rams, 4-0-1 in division games, will be able to sweep their season series. But teams that let up don't score 150 points in three weeks like Seattle has.
Pick: Seahawks
Ravens (10-5) at Bengals (9-6)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Bengals by 1
Regardless of the outcome of this game, the Ravens will be the A.F.C. North champions and the Bengals will be the No. 6 seed in the playoffs. But the game will help determine who each team plays in the first round and also gives Baltimore a chance to prove itself on the road and the Bengals a chance to have beaten their biggest division rivals in consecutive weeks.
"The only thing that is at stake is you go out and play to win the game every time we go," Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis told reporters this week. "That's important."
Pick: Ravens
Texans (12-3) at Colts (10-5)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Texans by 7
For a team to come back late in a game, first it has to be losing. The Colts, for all of the dramatics this season, likely would be O.K. with just winning a game in boring fashion. Unfortunately, the Texans have plenty of motivation to win, since that would guarantee them the No. 1 seed in the playoffs and would be their franchise's first win in Indianapolis. The Colts will get a boost from the return of Coach Chuck Pagano, out since Week 3 for leukemia treatment, but that will not be enough to beat a far superior team.
Pick: Texans
Buccaneers (6-9) at Falcons (13-2)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Even
Falcons Coach Mike Smith has said Atlanta will be playing to win this week. Considering a first-round bye has been secured along with home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, and the likelihood that his offensive personnel will likely take some or all of the game off, Atlanta's effort will most likely be lacking, regardless of Smith's rhetoric. Taking things easy against the Buccaneers could cost them, as Coach Greg Schiano has made a point of not letting up on his players, and will be looking for a win to close his first season in the N.F.L.
Pick: Buccaneers
Chiefs (2-13) at Broncos (12-3)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Line: Broncos by 16
A week after managing just 119 yards of total offense against Oakland, the Chiefs exploded for 507 against Indianapolis. A marked improvement, but in both cases they lost. The Broncos, still playing for a chance at the No. 1 seed in the A.F.C., should crush the Chiefs. If Peyton Manning can pass for 346 yards, he will set a career high in passing yards, something no one could have predicted coming into the season.
Pick: Broncos
Bears (9-6) at Lions (4-11)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Bears by 3
Little has gone right this season for the Lions. Even Calvin Johnson's record-setting 1,892 yards receiving have come with just five touchdown catches. Knocking the Bears out of the playoffs, and letting Johnson make a run at the first 2,000-yard season for a receiver, would help redeem the lost season.
Pick: Lions
Dolphins (7-8) at Patriots (11-4)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Line: Patriots by 10
Losing to San Francisco at home was mildly embarrassing for the Patriots. Needing to come back for a win over Jacksonville was simply unacceptable. With a small chance remaining that they could be the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the playoffs (should they get help in the form of losses by Houston and/or Denver), the Patriots need to fix their recent problems on third down, get the run game rolling and get their defense healthy.
Pick: Patriots
Cowboys (8-7) at Redskins (9-6)
Sunday, 8:20 p.m.
Line: Redskins by 3
A win (or a tie) would give Robert Griffin III and the Redskins a division title and would send the Cowboys home without a trip to the playoffs despite brilliant play by Tony Romo as the season drew to a close.
Motivation will be a factor for Washington should Minnesota and Chicago both lose prior to kickoff, which would clinch a Redskins playoff berth. If that happens, the desire to keep Griffin's balky knee healthy will likely limit their offense to the point that Romo can beat them.
Pick: Cowboys
Eagles (4-11) at Giants (8-7)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Giants by 7
For the Giants to qualify for the playoffs, they need the following things to happen: they need to beat the Eagles; Dallas needs to lose to or tie Washington; Minnesota needs to lose to Green Bay; and Chicago needs to lose to Detroit. If all of that happens, the Giants should all go buy lottery tickets.
Pick: Giants
Panthers (6-9) at Saints (7-8)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Saints by 6
If the Saints allow more than 281 yards of offense to the Panthers, they will break the record for yards allowed in a season, set by Indianapolis in 1981. Since the Panthers are likely playing for Coach Ron Rivera's job, and Cam Newton has been on a roll, that kind of yardage seems all but certain regardless of the game's final result.
Pick: Saints
Browns (5-10) at Steelers (7-8)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Even
The Browns have not won in Pittsburgh since 2003 and have not swept the Steelers in a season since 1988. But with the Steelers playing for division pride after being eliminated from the playoffs, those streaks are unlikely to end.
Pick: Steelers
Jets (6-9) at Bills (5-10)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Bills by 4
A matchup between these teams next season may look very different. The Jets may trade Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, and could fire Rex Ryan after his team failed to qualify for the playoffs for a second consecutive season. The Bills will likely fire Coach Chan Gailey, and their general manager, Buddy Nix, has talked about drafting a quarterback to replace Ryan Fitzpatrick. Shonn Greene, a free agent after this season, should pad his season rushing total significantly against the inept Bills defense.
Pick: Jets
Jaguars (2-13) at Titans (5-10)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Titans by 4
"We've got to come out way better than this and finish strong," Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner told reporters this week. "This is embarrassing."
If it is embarrassing for the Titans, with five wins, imagine what it is like to be the Jaguars, with two.
Pick: Titans
Raiders (4-11) at Chargers (6-9)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Line: Even
When one team is trying to decide between Matt Leinart and Terrelle Pryor at quarterback, and the other is not favored to win, the game hardly seems worth watching.
Pick: Chargers

generative modeling for Rhino
i have basic knowledge in programming but not in C# or VB#, so i have the roots of basic logic programation
i want to know if there's posible to emulate an IF - THEN - ELSE situation to use it like a driver path in a definition
for example if line = 10 then the component put the value in an A Slot, else in SLOT B
i dont know if the idea its clear, the real issue is that, i'm working on a definition that if i pick multiple polylines the definition works very well, but if i pick just one polyline the definition doesnt work well because i need to flat something in the process, so
with some basic logic i can drive if i chose one polyline then flat if i chose multiple polyline then dont flat
sorry for my crappy english
this can be obtained with "stream gate" component (sets->tree) and e.g. equal/larger/smaller component before.
If x is a lines(as items) input then
Scripted version :
Dim val1 as double = 12.00 'value 1
Dim val2 as double = 15.00 'other value
If x.lenght=10 then
A = val1
B = val2
End If
Copy and paste this code into vb script component, then plug lines as x.
Have a look at the Dispatch Component used in conjunction with your Larger Than Component to make the Boolean Pattern.
really true Danny
let me see if i grab it
thanks once again
Danny works well the discrimination objective in your idea, but there's an error in the L input of the Shift Commponet its although B is null add a Branch to the shift so the shift move all 3 spaces i need that this null dont take in count in the shift. i dont know if you understad what i mean
it is an old example, but I still ike it :-)
Best Regards
I still wonder when control panel will return... It would be cool to customize it just like layout with layout editor :)

THE Windsor Dukes senior girls basketball team claimed their sixth North Shore AA title in the past seven years last week, topping St. Thomas Aquinas at home in the championship final on Valentine's Day.
The Fighting Saints actually came into the contest ranked No. 3 in the province while Windsor didn't crack the top 10 but it was the Dukes who took control early, riding a fast start to a 60-43 win.
"It was a big win, exciting game," said Windsor head coach Alec Lewis, adding that pre-game rankings don't matter once the ball is tipped-off.
"STA definitely deserves to be ranked that high, they've beaten a lot of good teams throughout the year," he said. "I think we just match up quite well against them. A lot of our girls know a lot of their girls and have played with or against them for a long time in club basketball. Those rankings, for me, are not a big deal. At the end it's if you can win the game or lose the game."
In the North Shore final the Dukes smothered the Saints in the first half, building a commanding 31-11 lead at halftime.
"STA is a really strong team and we knew we had to come out really hard and jump on them early," said Lewis, adding that it was a combination of cold STA offence and hot Windsor defence that left the Saints with just 11 points in the first half. "Our girls battled really hard and STA missed some shots. We managed to keep them just shooting from the outside, we were able to clog up the middle. They didn't hit some shots that they probably normally would. Then we had a lot of different players step up and hit some shots for us on the other end."
The Saints, however, didn't go down without a fight.
"We knew that they were going to have a big push and it definitely came - they had a great run to start the third quarter," said Lewis. "We managed to fight through and get our bearings back and hold on the rest of the way. The girls played really well."
The two teams took very different paths to get to the AA championship final. Windsor played in the North Shore Div. 1 league and racked up a perfect 9-0 record.
STA, meanwhile, moved up to the premier league to swim with the AAA sharks from Handsworth and Argyle. The Saints went 0-4 in league play but gained valuable experience against tough opponents. Windsor and STA met one other time this season in an exhibition game used to determine seeding for the AA playoffs. Windsor won that game as well, scoring a 55-52 overtime victory that earned them the right to host the playoff tournament.
The AA championship final featured some high-level players as Windsor's Sherrie Errico and Ariella London were both named Div. 1 first-team all-stars while teammate Brooklyn Legault earned second-team honours. For STA Vanessa Botteselle was named a first-team all-star in the premier league while Angela Clarke and Kate Mockler earned second-team all-star status.
"One of STA's keys was to key on Sherrie (Errico), who has been one of our top offensive threats all year, and they did a great job on that but the other girls were able to take the shots that they were given and some girls just made some shots for us," said Lewis. "We've got quite a few girls who can step up at different times if they key on one player." Legault led the balanced Dukes attack with 17 points in the final.
The teams met for a third time in the Lower Mainland championship final on Friday night following North Shore News press deadline. The zone was allotted two automatic berths into provincials, meaning their strong showings in the Lower Mainland tournament earned both Windsor and STA tickets to the AA B.C. Championships scheduled for March 6-9 in Kamloops.
They may not have been provincially ranked before winning their North Shore title, but coach Lewis thinks his Dukes have a shot at winning it all when they take on the best B.C. has to offer.
"They're a great group of kids who work very hard," he said. "On any given day they could compete against just about anyone."

Fire Destroys Yell County Home For A Second Time
By: Jocelyn Tovar, KARK 4 NEWS
Updated: March 10, 2013
Minnie said this is the second time in six years the family has gone through the pain of watching all their possessions burn.
"We'll probably respond as a community like we usually do," she said.
Responding with prayers, food and donations, the way many communities do after such a loss.
Multiple fires is unfortunately not the only reason the family has needed to lean on their neighbor's shoulders.
"There's been a rally to raise funds for their son Devon who has cancer," she said.
The family did not want to speak on camera but said they have no plans of rebuilding again.
They do want to thank all the fire crews that raced to their house so quickly.
"We have great, great volunteer firemen out here," said Minnie. "I commended them because they jump from their jobs and into their fire jobs and made it."
Early indications are the fire was electrical and the family did not have insurance.
This serves as a reminder that when you set your clocks ahead an hour you should also replace the battery in your smoke detectors.
