Eastern Air Temple

Contents |
History Edit
Avatar Kuruk learned airbending in this temple hundreds of years prior to Aang's time.[2] During Aang's childhood, a group of female nomads including Sister Iio were present at the temple, caring for a herd of sky bison. Among an adult bison's litter was a newborn Appa, who soon became Aang's animal guide.[3] Six years afterward, Avatar Aang was to be separated from his mentor, Monk Gyatso by the elders of the Southern Air Temple, who decided to send Aang to the Eastern Air Temple to complete his airbending training, away from Gyatso's fatherly influence. However, before they could do this, Aang overheard their plans and ran away.[4]
This temple suffered a great amount of damage at the hands of the Fire Nation after Fire Lord Sozin declared war on the other three nations. He used the powers of Sozin's Comet to kill the Air Nomads residing in the temple. Out of all of the existing air temples, the Eastern Air Temple suffered the worst damage.
A hundred years following the genocide, Aang traveled to the Eastern Air Temple to meet Guru Pathik, who had been waiting for him after a vision. The guru recently had a run-in with Appa, who fled to the temple following his capture. The guru cared for Appa and sent him off with a letter to Aang, which stated that he could teach him how to control the Avatar State.[5] Guru Pathik and Aang went through a series of meditations designed to unblock the seven chakras. However, Aang left the temple during the process of unlocking his seventh chakra, rendering him unable to enter the Avatar State at all.[3]
Description Edit
Unlike the Northern and Southern Air Temples, the Eastern Air Temple is housed on three separate mountains, connected by bridges. Not much is known about its physical appearance, except that it was once a great temple, left desolate after the Fire Nation's attacks. It has three pagodas, one on each mountain, with green tiled roofs. The center mountain pagoda has a couple smaller buildings next to it.[1]
Bison stables Edit
The Eastern Air Temple was the former home to many flying bison; and since the slaying of the Air Nomads, the stables are home to many spider bats. Appa was born and raised here, and had left his mark in his stall by biting the metal ring around the manger.[6] When Appa visited the stables a century later, he had a flashback of his youth here, and reminiscing, he bit the ring as he used to, but wound up coughing heavily.[3]
Notable figures Edit
- Appa
- Appa's mother
- Guru Pathik
- Sister Iio
Trivia Edit
- This is the only air temple that is not the title of an episode, and the only one visited solely by Aang throughout Team Avatar's journey.
- Though the most damaged, none among the air temples resemble any damage from severe fire attacks as shown in the flashback episode, "The Avatar and the Fire Lord", where the temples burn immensely.

lost Its banana
and cried while
it approached the
golden silk underpants
which were badly
in need of
a tune up
but the gnome
didn't notice that
and a tauren
made fun of
obama's new perm
while the wind
blew off the
the toupee from
the hood of
the gold ferrari
which exploded after
the monkey tazed
its sorry ass
with a huge
black and white
penguin made of
mcdonald's chicken nuggets
which were bought
at your moms
in mexico city
and she was
shot dead by
the massive monkey
which was holding
a smaller monkey
which happened to
be a cannibal
which loved to
eat massive monkeys
meanwhile the wizard
ate candy canes
at the new
Disco house that
Jack built with
with a banana
from the island
neverland and then
Michael Jackson kidnapped
miley cyrus with
a liquorice rope
While that guy
from the awesome
kungfu panda sequel
decided it was
a great idea
to go and
make cake for
elvis presley's corpse
but forgot to
eat the bacon
and Elvis emerged
as the messiah
of the dead
and then he
blew a trumpet
rising the dead
with his awful
henchman named the
furry bastard attacked
the ugly viper
which was accually
a koenigsegg ccx
killed the viper
in its imagination
and in reality
then the big
crazy cat jumped
on the viper's
bowl of pasta
thus causing the
it to go
on a wild
magic carpet ride
through the green
grassy knoll made
of completely 100%
carbon fiber stuff (?!)
that gleamed like
A shiny new
dime which was
silver and had
a small engraving
of Fakira's big
collection of gold
he got by
cruelly killing Kaizeras
but then Elvis
kissed Obama on
His right hand...
And Kaizeras was
while also sucking
a big candy
barbie doll head
which he spit
glowing water into
big bootle of
Glowing green soap
which exploded and
and caused dolmankid
to have more
Dodge Vipers then...
any sane person
could realize that
was possible while
chucking on the
impossibly hard puzzle
trying to maximize
his vipers power
and drift more
to impress the
girls in tokyo
but they weren't
stupid and exploded
in laughs and
said that honda
is the best
except for when
it races with
a Dodge Viper
before crying into
a big tunnel
and the viper
met a tauntaun
and the tauntaun
used The Force
to kill the
big pile of
rusting dodge vipers
which makes Dolmankid
very sad face
so he comitted
Too saving the
tauntaun from certain
claustrophobia in the
high school bathroom
which got eaten
because he was
too lazy to
read about the
thread about vipers
because vipers are
faster than everything
in theory only
to be awesomer
than a sniveling
white Mitsubishi Evo
which actually rocked
a lot more
then anything I'd
eaten with a
Cherry on top
because that's the
pointy point to
envelop the biggest
humongous, powerful, thing
he has eaten
in the last
40 years or so
when he was
slightly larger than
an incredibly small
ticking time bomb
that almost decided
slowing time down
by deciding to
kill it self
using a rather
knife and a
fork to devour
that piece of
chuck norris that
had cutted his
big toe off
then she said
That looks nasty
and you must
show it to
the all perceiving
Silenus, and then
send him to
the amazing NFSDrew
so he can
use the ultra
awesome Hadouken move
to destroy the
golden paper clip
that has stolen
all the power
and the glory
of Rabb, the
the fan of
cute furry creatures
and slimy slugs
were there to
gnaw on the
stump of his
devil's nerve, that
was the colour
black, and he
Smacked the chubby
Rhino on to
"Shake and bake"
...and then the...
post count increased
making everyone smile
but then NFSracer123
acted like a
big lame Frozenstar
...no comment what?
asked in conffusion
this sentence makes
Who am I?
I don't know!
i don't care
Well, whatever then!
Cause this is
Are you serious?
Yes I am.
That's over 9,000!!!!
What it's 9000?!
9'000 of candies
that could be
the only way
to stop evil
from destroying World
Of War Craft!!!
But evil pants
couldn't be so
ridiculously red and
absulutely too large
unless they cut...
the moist cake.
But suddenly a
meatball fell into...
a rather small
blue whale, causing
it to sink..
creating an eartquake
on the moon
turning it into
a big padlock
crash and burn
What is this?
Meanwhile my Weenis...
shrink just before...
you got any...
steroids pumped in?...
Oh f***ing sh*t!
Don't f***ing swear.
I have idea
Let's put them... ^^
in an incinerator...

Search for Missing Greyhound, Ruby, Goes On
Volunteers who are looking for her are planning another sign/flyer blitz in the Hellertown area this Sunday. Anyone who wants to help should meet at Water Street Park at 10am.
Although an aerial search of the Saucon Valley last weekend did not produce any sightings of Ruby--a greyhound who's been missing in the area for more than two months--the determination of her family and volunteers to find her hasn't waivered. According to the frequently updated Facebook page "Ruby the Lost Greyhound," the next tactic planned is a costly canine search to be led by a "Lost Pet Professional." Donations to help fund that search are now being accepted by the nonprofit Brave Tide Foundation, which also helped Ruby's owners--the Hoffman family of Allentown--with the resources that were needed for the Jan. 19 aerial search. According to its website, the Boyertown-based foundation "is a non-profit charitable organization committed…

(of some of the people who applied),
and another with details of
the 1st challenge.
so the tide is rolling in and i am at least knee deep at this point with
late night sketches, torn out magazine pages
bits and bobs of all things at hand that apply
and the general mayhem that means "tal's on a designing bender,
you'd do best to stay clear".
i'll update you as the fiber factor website adds more info
and pics and videos and such.
while i'm pretty busy over here swatching,
you'll want to watch and vote, no?
details about that coming soon over here.
and to all of you who have already voiced your support,
it means so very much to me. you have no idea.
your words are gasoline in my tank.
thanks a million.
congratulations wendy randolph!
the random number generator picked you,
and the sun is shining!
what more could an early weekday ask for?
for anyone else who really fell in love with the idea of having their own copy
(that's always how i feel when i enter a contest and lose),
you can buy your own here.
i would if i were you.
the weather is teasing me.
last night it was in the 20′s.
today it's headed up to the mid 50′s.
i am so ready to join my daughter in packing my summer things as i dream of vacation…
i guess we think alike.
our multiple readings of "phoebe's birthday"
led to questions about favorite summer moment ever.
my 6 yr old picked this one from last summer-
very 1st day on her very 1st surfboard:
courtesy of slate falls press,
i have a copy of "phoebe's birthday" to giveaway.
just leave a comment about your favorite vacation moment
(and a ravelry username or e-mail where i can reach you if you win).
i'll draw a winner first thing monday morning, april 8th.
here, i'll go first.
my favorite summer memory:
sitting in warm tidal pools that we dug ourselves
while making drip sand castles in the late afternoon sun.
and no, this is not a childhood memory. it was just this past summer. smile.
'sand' taken from 139:17-18 in the psalms.
it is still cool here.
officially it is spring,
but first thing in the morning,
waiting for the bus, it feels like
we're smack dab at the tail end of winter
and last week my 5 yr old packed for summer vacation.
i don't mean talked about packing
or packed
a few things.
she filled
two duffels
to overflowing with
all her very
best stuff.
and the look
on her face was
painful to see
as i gently
explained that
vacation was still five months away.
we unpacked flip-flops, her treasure box, her favorite puzzle,
the stuffed lamb that she sleeps with nightly, and her minnie mouse towel.
she looked
deeply sad,
then an idea hit.
and with a lilt in
her voice and
a renewed
glimmer of hope in her baby blue eyes she pleaded,
"can you read "phoebe's birthday" to me, please, while i wait for summer to get here?"
and "phoebe's birthday" it was.
the story is both sweet and real. my kids relate.
they do puzzles with their cousins at night, just like the mouse family;
eat birthday cake,
splash in the waves,
build in the warm sand,
enjoy sidewalk music,
and eat (oh do we eat)
ice cream shop treats,
just like the mouse family on vacation.
the details of eric's drawings keep them looking for more
and joanna's story (like the two previous books) is comfortable and familiar.
they keep my kids turning the pages and saying things like:
"don't you think mother mouse looks like aunt gail?"
"remember the summer that elizabeth learned to swim?"
"i know i'm finally going to beat uncle ben at chess this year"
"kuppy always tries to finish my ice cream for me before i'm really done…"
yup, it's true. the mouse family seem an awful lot like us.
i've even heard my kids whispering their suspicions
that the tiny toy boat which the mouse family vacations in
lies somewhere on the dunes of the same small town
where we spend two weeks in maine every august,
and i haven't the heart to tell them differently.

It has been noted that seed monies are probably available to offset a l^ge portion of the first year costs. A cost analysis translated the cost of these programs into the tax impact on homeowners.

RIH: Tot Ziens
WORDS & PICTURES: Frank van der Sman
Opening the door on your way in you think about all the Dutch champions that had walked through here. Suddenly this train of thought gets interrupted by the loud clanging of the cowbell hanging above the door. Then complete silence. Sometimes the silence can continue for several minutes before Mr. van der Kaaij walks out of his workplace into the shop. Meanwhile you stand there surrounded by pictures of legendary cyclists and bikes that belonged to Peter Post and Leontien van Moorsel.
Wim (or Willem) van der Kaaij is now 75 years old and up until about two months back was doing what he loves most, building steel frames. He is one of those guys that doesn't like to talk to visitors because it keeps him from working. But when you are there, he can rattle on-and-on about all sorts of random tales. Often he would tell stories about how things had changed over time: 'Carbon bikes are like plastic rocking horses'; 'the banking system became too complex'; 'youngsters work strange magic on their computers'… He wasn't complaining but he clearly remained old school, this seemed to make it difficult for him to run his business.
Brothers Joop and Willem Bustraan founded RIH-Sport in 1921. The brand was named after an ink-black horse from the books of Karl May, a horse that was 'faster than the wind'. They started out from a small shop in the Amsterdam working-class Jordaan neighborhood, growing out to be a household name in the Netherlands.
One day Wim van der Kaaij came into their shop as a young boy to get some handlebar tape. It was the Monday after Gerrit Schulte became pursuit world champion beating the invincible Fausto Coppi on the old Amsterdam Olympic Stadium track. Wim met the freshly crowned champion Schulte in the shop. That afternoon in late August 1948 changed the course of his life.
He fell in love with the ambiance of the place and never left. In the early seventies he ended up taking over the business. Throughout the course of the years their frames won a mighty 63 Olympic medals and world championship titles combined making the RIH-Sport brand arguably the most successful Dutch frame-maker of all time.
Sadly on June the 1st the doors of this amazing shop on Westerstraat 150 closed, the end of an era. Legendary brands like Presto, Zieleman, Aandewiel, Peka and Bergh-Sport already stopped building frames within the city's borders an age ago. Mr. van der Kaaij was the last remaining of Amsterdam's true craftsmen. Even though there are plans to re-launch the business in a different part of town (without a shop) to pass down his experience to future generations, it will never be the same again.

Such a shame. I was suppose to interview Wim for an article about Dutch Bike culture about 2 years ago, but it never happened. We talked to the folks at Amsterdamize.com and WorkCycles who were great.
I was in RIH only last month…such a wonderful place.
A true icon of the city is lost!

Pod studio ux1 software problems.
Like (0)
I recently bought a used pod studio ux1 and when I wanted to use pod farm it said that it ran in trial mode.
I thought that the pod studio ux1 had a free license bundeled with it?
And the FX junkie pack, which should come with the pod studio ux1, doesn't appear in line 6 monkey or at the license manager.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I heard something about the previous owner having to send the licenses to my account as a gift.
But what if he doesn't send them?
Make sure you register the UX and that you have the newest Monkey and drivers.
If the previous owner did not remove their registration it may be tripping up the process.
Gifting is only concerned with a separate purchase of an add-on.
This vid may help.
ah, thank you very much! And now I also see what I might have done wrong. I used the pod farm disc to install everything. But it could also be true that the previous owner still has it registered on his account. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall everything again but this time using the downloads from the website?
Yeah, if you used the disk, I would start over. Use the unistaller in the Line6 Tools Folder.
ok thanks. I'll try to reinstall tomorrow as it is quite late here now.
thanks, it worked:]
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Having recently read biographies of Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl—and currently reading one on Hemingway—I have concluded that my life is pretty dull. I have not overseen covert operations for British Naval Intelligence in a time of war (Fleming), nor have I flown with the Royal Air Force against the Luftwaffe in North Africa (Dahl). Add to this embarrassing list of confessions the fact I have not hunted big game in the Serengeti or fished for marlin off the coast of Cuba (Hemingway). What, you ask, have I done? I once met Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon in the Hard Rock Casino's gift shop in Las Vegas. All I could manage to say at the time was, "My name's Simon, too." He responded, "It's a bloody good name, isn't it?"
This apparent lack of adventure will, I'm sure, present a challenge for my future biographer—as will my mundane love life. I have not bedded a stripper named "Stormy," nor have I had an affair with the wife of a powerful media magnate (Fleming). I did not marry a successful actress (Dahl), nor have I lusted after a nurse who tended to my war wounds (Hemingway). On that point, I've never gone off to war nor been wounded in battle. What will my future biographer write about? It's hard to say, as I won't be leaving him/her much to work with. But it's more than just my boring life that's going to cause problems. It's the lack of letters.
The Fleming, Dahl, and Hemingway biographies all list as primary source material letters written to and by their subjects. Gonzo scribe Hunter S. Thompson, believing he would someday make it as an author, had the amazing foresight to keep carbon copies of every letter he ever wrote. Today, letter writing—in the traditional sense—is pretty much a dead art form. We opt instead to send e-mails, which most folks delete as soon as they've read them—or we send quick text messages comprised of acronyms. L.O.L. Perhaps even more egregious is the fact many folks rely on Facebook status updates to convey what's going on in their lives. Does this mean biographers of tomorrow are S.O.L.? Where is the primary source material for tomorrow's biographies going to come from? Are there aspiring writers and artists out there saving their texts, e-mails, status updates, and "Tweets"?
Sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read is Speaking for Themselves, a volume of letters exchanged between Winston Churchill and his wife, Clementine, over the long course of Churchill's years in public service. How different that book would be if it were collection of "Tweets" no more than 140 characters long.

I guess, by now, most of you know a much of bozos in Texas want to secede from the union. Yes, they want to take their cows, oil and death penalty, and become a country of their own. Can Texas really do that you may ask? Well, according to numerous authorities, it can't. But legalities aren't something that Texans are all that concerned about.
Although Texas has made the most news about seceding, there have been many of other states with failed attempts at secession. There have been at least eight since1998, when some yahoo in Maryland decided that the eastern shore of that state, as well as parts of Delaware and Virginia, should secede to form the great state of … get ready for it …Delmarva. This idea was hatched by State Senator Richard Colburn, who proposed that the mushroom to be the state flower, the state fungi and the state bird. That last one earned him the Native-American name of "He Who Eats Too Many Mushrooms."
Pima County in Arizona thought it would be better off on its own in 2011, but came up short in trying to establish Baja Arizona, while some maple syrup guzzlers in the southern part of Maine wanted to form their own state of Northern Massachusetts. Just last year, one legislator in West Virginia wanted to allow the panhandle counties of the state to secede and rejoin Virginia, which promptly began building an electrified fence along its border.
Secession attempts have surfaced in Utah, Tennessee, Rhode Island and New York. In fact, New York may own the record. One attempt would have made the state of New York a country, another would have done so for New York City, and still another would have created the state of Long Island. It was rumored that if Long Island succeeded, Billy Joel would have almost assuredly been named king.
Okay, now let's get back to Texas, which has received the signatures of over 100,000 people on an online petition. Although most of the names are thought to be those of Texas residents, there is a chance that more than a few belong to residents of Oklahoma, which would love to see Texas out of the picture. Now, one reason, according to leader of the succession movement, Texas needs to secede from the U.S. is our country's huge deficit. Strangely, enough when President George W. Bush, the former Texas governor, was turning a surplus into a huge deficit, there was no talk of succession. Methinks there's other reasons behind the movement, and they ain't pretty.
If Texas, which was a republic for a decade before joining the United States, did secede, it could then split into five states of its own. How in the name of Sam Houston could this happen? Well, in the legislation that added Texas to the union in 1845, it gave Texas the right to do so. I mean, we could have North Texas, West Texas, East Texas, South Texas, and, of course, Austin, Texas, where Texas now hides all its liberals.
Historians, such as retired professor Herb Arbuckle, say Texas can't legally secede. Sean P. Cunningham, a professor at Texas Tech University, agrees. In fact, no one is taking this talk seriously except those yahoos in Texas.
After giving it some serious thought, I've come to the conclusion that maybe we should let Texas secede. Then, we invade Mexico, take it into the union, thereby solving all this fuss about immigration. Now, that we have almost Texas surrounded, we establish a trade embargo and a naval blockade in the Gulf of Mexico to prevent any goods from going in or coming out of Texas.
Now, some of you out there probably think this is a little crazy … okay, a lot crazy, but we must keep the union together. "A house divided will not stand," said President Abraham Lincoln. So if some of you other states get a little jumpy, you better think twice. There's ways of dealing with turncoats. I've always thought that Utah would make a nice penal colony.

Garner named NPS 'Volunteer of the Year'
December 20, 2012 · Updated 12:12 PM
Longtime park volunteer Ron Garner is San Juan Island National Historical Park's 2012 Volunteer of the Year.
A native of Ohio, former park ranger and teacher, and a 16-year island resident, Garner received the coveted NHP award Dec. 8, as part of the park's annual Holiday Social. Garner has spent almost every weekend for the past three summers as a volunteer blacksmith in the park's living history program, a program he first resuscitated as a seasonal event in 1984.
"Ron is about as good as it gets for volunteering on San Juan Island, where volunteering is a way of life," park historian Mike Vouri said.
Garner's list of contributions to the park include overseeing construction of a three-quarter replica of a U.S. Army traveling blacksmith forge and a 12-pounder mountain howitzer gun used by Battery D, an island-based living history group featured regularly in park reenactment programs.
He also has helped to recruit and train park staff and volunteers, including members of several island and off-island youth groups.

County Cup finalists get byes
4:00pm Friday 17th August 2012 in Liversedge By Ian Whiting
Guiseley successfully defended their West Riding County Cup against Bradford Park Avenue at Valley Parade last April, and both of those clubs have received a bye into the second round of this season's competition.
There is no seeding of clubs, so it purely by the luck of the draw that last season's finalists have both missed out on first-round action this term.
Somewhat surprisingly, given that there are ten representatives from the area, only one derby tie was thrown up when the draw was made this week.
Evo-Stik Division One North outfit, and last season's semi-finalists, Farsley will host Baris Northern Counties East League Division One side Albion Sports.
The other ties are widely spread, with Thackley hosting Tadcaster Albion and Silsden at home to Askern Villa.
Liversedge make the short trip to Garforth Town, while Brighouse Town travel to WRCC debutants Knaresborough Town.
Joining Avenue and holders Guiseley with a free ticket into the second round are FC Halifax Town and Eccleshill United.

PMV: This Is War

If there was more pony in the world, there would be less wars.

I liked the beginning, but i'm not a fan of the song style past that.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:00 PM
- Kesono said...
I'm a bit turned off by this war trope also, but I am impressed by some of the fan works that stem off of it.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:04 PM
- S.Aura Knight said...
Funny thing is... I love 30StM, but I first heard this song in the credits to Dragon Age: Origins. And this PMV certainly does the song justice, just as it's use in that game did it.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:08 PM
- Rarityfan said...
the PMV's have really improved since the whole "kill your heroes" super fantastic one
- November 15, 2011 at 8:08 PM
- pipsiscool said...
Man watching this really makes me want to play Dragon age again.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:09 PM
- jacobrowe37 said...
That was intense, I mean wow, great song, applied to MLP it actually fit really well. (as far as being set in Soviet Equestria goes)
- November 15, 2011 at 8:14 PM
- Ogopogo said...
I think this is defiantly one of the better/best PMV I have seen this month.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:15 PM
- Lafter said...
Ponies don't war. They just rally for peace!
Lunar Republic Vs Solar Empire doesn't exist! Everypony holds hooves, ya dig!? >:3
Luna and Celestia go for brohoof!
/)^3^/)(\^w^(\ - November 15, 2011 at 8:16 PM
- Rainbow Smashly said...
I agree more pony equals less war. This of course does not apply to princess trollestia (she just loves being a tyrant). Poor luna, always being pushed around. I think the twilight republic is a good comprimise. (sad day for puns)
- November 15, 2011 at 8:17 PM
- A Bard said...
On an unrelated note, Welovefine seems to have added some more shirts (including a Daft Punk parody one).
- November 15, 2011 at 8:19 PM

Pmv was awsome! Yay! *heavy metal screech* horray for the magic conch!
- November 15, 2011 at 8:20 PM
- Lazerboy5000 said...
I love the images and vectors used. Simply brilliant!!! I thought the lyrics art could have used more pony reinforcement, otherwise it's quite dry. Only compliant about an utterly fantastic video!
- November 15, 2011 at 8:21 PM
- Octavia said...
Pretty good PMV. Then again, like ponified lyrics in pony tunes, I'm a sucker for well-placed effects in pony PMV's. lol
I wasn't really into the whole Solar Empire Vs Lunar Republic at first myself. But I've warmed up to it more. Maybe because I sometimes enjoy a little conflict. lol Though if Octavia had to pick a side, and though she plays at some of Celestia's major events, she would have to side with the Lunar Republic. Because Luna. <3 - November 15, 2011 at 8:26 PM
- Flashback said...
Loved every second of it. Need more quality stuff like this! :)

I love the war trope. I'm a sucker for the propaganda posters.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:32 PM
- Pathfinder said...
The PMV really didn't make sense. It sounded and looked nice, but it seemed like the creator didn't know what they were shooting for.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:52 PM
- ToonNinja said...
...Okay, I don't know how much longer I can wait. I want a PMV for "Take Me Away" by Globus, and I want it ASAP.
- November 15, 2011 at 8:53 PM
- Jimperz said...
This seems more of a pro Equestrian unity PMV (which I approve of), rather then a Lunar Republic vs Solar Empire thing (which is something I don't care for either).
Awesome one nonetheless! - November 15, 2011 at 9:00 PM
- Seton? said...
YES! WISH FULFILLED! THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!! other random celebratory quotes... This is one of my fav songs and the editing on this matched perfects. Man I love it went things I like come together... such a great day!
- November 15, 2011 at 9:01 PM
- Dorian said...
The colors looked... Different... In the beginning. But other then that. Good PMV.
- November 15, 2011 at 9:40 PM
- bronydash said...
I'm not into the Lunar republic/Celestial Monarchy thing either (mostly because I don't really subscribe to the fanon at all) but good pmv, great editing, and 30 Seconds to Mars, one of my favorite bands. This was great. Well done.
- November 15, 2011 at 9:47 PM
- PSOBrony said...
I absolutely loved this!
And it cones at an interesting time... Same day as Not A Clever Pony's announcement.
I started as aLunar Republican (mostly because the first brony music I heard was For The New Lubar Republic) but I have since decided that unitedEquestria is best Equestria.
I don't mind the war genre, so long as it isn't civil war in Equestria. - November 15, 2011 at 10:08 PM

A good use for one of my favorite songs!
8/10 (Skilled - Favorite/Download) - November 15, 2011 at 10:26 PM

Marvelous. I'd rate it a 9/10. The song could've been just a little better and towards the end I felt you cheated a bit with using only text.

In my research, the end of one war is almost certainly the cause of another. Exceptions are revolutions and civil wars, which are often small-scale.

Well this was 30 Seconds from Mars so I already loved the music, the quality of PMV's coming out at the moment is great. But a united Equestria is best Equestria.

I used to be a part of The Lunar Republic, but recently I've become part of the Equestrian Oligarchy.

You know what would be a good song for a Lunar Republic/Solar Empire PMV?
OK time for plan B by Enter Shikari.
Especially since Twilight has used that phrase like 3 times already in season 2. - November 16, 2011 at 9:30 AM
- JaxsonJaguar said...
Why can't we have more PMV's like this instead of the copious amount of remixes and those videos where people make a whole song out of sounds the characters make?
Also we need a pony version of amv.org - November 16, 2011 at 9:45 AM
- otakon17 said...
@S.Aura Knight
You heard this in the credits of Dragon Age: Origins? Wow, I love that game and do not remember this pretty amazing piece of music from it. I've beaten multiple times too, I swear I've never heard this song before now.
OT: Good editing, good song even if the theme is completely opposite of the source material. Really good stuff here. - November 16, 2011 at 12:52 PM
- Yelliaes said...
Damn, the power of that song with those ponies is something that makes this a must see for all Bronies
- November 16, 2011 at 4:34 PM
- Arothyss said...
s'oose 'ee, 'an't 'alk, on econ'...
There, sorry, had to pick my jaw off the floor and put it back in my mouth.
That was amazing. I take it that the Solar Empire won then? Heck, I don't care, it was just stupendously done. Must've taken forever to create.
Mad props to the author.
Also, I agree with JaxsonJaguar, we need more story-type pmvs like this. Make it happens ppls! - November 17, 2011 at 12:52 PM
- Meltoria said...
Very well made PMV and this song is just epic, and I knew it was good ever since I first heard it on the Dragon Age trailer.
- November 18, 2011 at 2:47 AM
- Arkalidor said...
late comment is late...
I was browsing through the music posts to have some sweet brony music to hear while I'm working, but not really watching the vids.
I listened to this music, it was nice. Curiosity drove me to watch the vid that came with it. Instant wave of chills thoughout my body, and I kept watching 'till the end. This here is some awesome PMV work. - November 23, 2011 at 7:43 AM

A bevy of local college stars earned All-America honors at last weekend's
NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships held on the blue 400-meter oval
at Drake Stadium on the campus of Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.

Abbey D'Agostino of Dartmouth College. The Topsfield native became the
first Big Green female athlete to capture an individual title at the

Recent Boston College graduate Anthony Melchionda (left, photo courtesy of BC) became the first player from a Boston-area college to be selected in the Major League Baseball draft when he was chosen in the 14th round by the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday.
Melchionda, an infielder from Braintree, graduated from Thayer Academy where, as a senior, he batted .500 and hit five home runs with 16 RBI. He earned the Most Valuable Player of the Independent School League.
Who could blame Anthony Melchionda (right, photo courtesy BC) for falling asleep before hearing his name called during the Major League draft Tuesday night.
The recent Boston College graduate had kept himself busy all day playing golf and working out at the gym to keep his mind off of baseball, and was in need of some sleep. But just as he was dozing off on his couch, the chaos broke out.

In another case of a Major League draftee hearing about his selection from a close friend before getting a call from the team that drafted him, North Dighton native Nate Koneski (left, photo courtesy Holy Cross) found out from a teammate that the Seattle Mariners had taken him in the 19th Round today.
"It was awesome to finally find out," Koneski said. "One of my buddies (Holy Cross junior right-hander) John Colella texted me congratulations, so my...

A funny thing happened to Andrew Leenhouts (left, photo courtesy Northeastern) when he went searching on his computer today for familiar names on the Major League draft board. He found his own.
Leenhouts, of Franklin, stopped short of making himself lunch this afternoon in order to go check for any people he knew getting the call in the final day of the MLB entry draft. Within minutes he saw his name pop up after being selected in the 22nd round by the...
Though it was a little later than expected, Somerset native Dan Langfield (right, courtesy University of Memphis) became the first local baseball player selected in this year's Major League Baseball draft.
The Cincinnati Reds plucked the Memphis junior right-hander with the 109th pick just moments ago. He was ranked 60th in Baseball America's assessment of the draft propects.
In 15 starts this season, Langfield was the ace of the Tigers' pitching rotation, going 7-6...

Cortland County, NY, prosecutor admits he acted in 1970s porn films
CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) — A district attorney in upstate New York has admitted that he acted in pornographic movies in the 1970s, then lied when questioned about it during his second campaign.
Mark Suben, the DA in Cortland County near Syracuse since 2008, held a news conference Friday to say he had lied about his past in the days before this year's election.
"Recently materials have been circulated alleging that I was involved in the adult film industry about 40 years ago in New York. Those allegations are true," he said. "I was an actor in adult films for a short period in the early '70s. I was also an actor in other venues including off-Broadway, soap operas and commercial advertisements."
He apologized for his actions and said he used "bad judgment" by acting in porn and by lying about it. He wouldn't take questions, including whether he should resign. On his way out of the news conference, several people said, "You lied to me, Mark."
Suben's spokeswoman, Aimee Milks, said Suben will not resign.
"This was nearly 40 years ago. It was not illegal. Mark Suben was not yet married. He was not practicing law and he was not a law student," Milks said. "It has nothing to do with his law practice or his current position as the district attorney of Cortland County."
"I think the situation is really irrelevant to the campaign," she said. "His record as the DA for the last four years speaks for itself."
WSTM-TV in Syracuse published a story Friday that said Suben had acted under his name and the pseudonym Gus Thomas. That news story followed a posting on YouTube that compared images of Suben with Thomas.
"A few weeks ago, when asked, I denied this to members of the press," Suben said. "I regret that and I apologize for it. I was shocked and embarrassed to be confronted with this so many years later. I was embarrassed for my family and friends who have stood by me. I also denied my actions to my family, my friends and my staff."
The IMDB online database says Suben and Thomas are linked and classified as alternate names. The name Gus Thomas appears in films such as "Lecher" and "The Love Witch." Mark Suben appears in the credits for the non-pornographic 1976 movie "Angels." Continued...
His opponent in the Nov. 6 election, Cortland lawyer Keith Dayton, did not return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment, but he told the Syracuse Post-Standard he wasn't concerned about Suben's acting history.
"I think the more important part is the lying," he told the newspaper.
Suben has been an acting city court judge, city corporation counsel and a county attorney. He is past president of the Cortland County Bar Association. He graduated from the University of Rochester, the University of Wisconsin and Fordham Law School, according to the biography on his election website. The bio says he worked seven years as an assistant district attorney in Bronx County, then moved to Syracuse. He has taught criminal trial practice as an adjunct professor for 17 years at Syracuse University Law School.
