Use and Important Safety Information You Should Know About Depakote Products
Depakote and Depakote ER are used to treat acute manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
Depakote and Depakote ER are medicines prescribed by your doctor as part of your treatment plan. Serious side effects can occur during treatment. It is very important that you know about these serious side effects and talk about them with your doctor.
The following serious side effects can occur with Depakote or Depakote ER:
Some people have experienced serious liver problems, including death, while taking valproic acid.* Children under the age of 2 are at much greater risk than adults of experiencing fatal liver problems. Your doctor should check your liver function before you start this medication and at frequent intervals thereafter. You will also be monitored for symptoms that lead to liver toxicity. Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have liver disease. Depakote or Depakote ER should not be taken if you have liver disease. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop symptoms of feeling ill, weakness, tiredness, facial swelling, and loss of appetite or vomiting.
Before taking valproate,* women who could become pregnant should talk with their doctor, as valproic acid has been associated with birth defects in children of women who have taken it while pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor should advise you of the risk and alternative treatment options. Be sure to read the Patient Information Leaflet, which appears as the last section of the full Prescribing Information.
Some children and adults taking valproate have experienced a serious, life-threatening problem called pancreatitis, which means that the pancreas has become inflamed. Call your doctor immediately if you experience stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and/or loss of appetite, as these can be symptoms of pancreatitis.
You should not take this medication if you are allergic to it, if you have liver disease, or if you have a condition called urea cycle disorder, which may cause too much ammonia to build up in your body. Let your doctor know if you have been diagnosed with these conditions.
There have been reports of developmental delay, autism and/or autism spectrum disorder in some children of women who took this medicine while pregnant.
Taking this medication may increase the risk of thoughts or behaviors of suicide in patients taking it for any illness or disorder. Patients, their caregivers and family need to be alert for new or worsening signs or symptoms of depression, thoughts or behaviors of suicide, or for any unusual changes in behavior or mood. Behaviors of concern should be immediately reported to a health care professional.
Some people taking Depakote or Depakote ER may experience low blood platelet counts. Your doctor should order blood tests to check your platelets while you are taking this medication, as well as prior to surgery. Tell your doctor if you have any unexplained bleeding or bruising.
Elevated ammonia levels and hypothermia (an unintentional drop in body temperature) have been reported in some patients receiving valproate. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience abnormal drowsiness and vomiting or changes in mental status.
A fever associated with other symptoms such as rash or enlargement of the lymph nodes should be reported to your doctor immediately, as this may be a sign of a serious reaction.
Depakote and Depakote ER can affect other medications. Your doctor may need to perform certain blood tests while taking this medication. Tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking or planning to take, including those without a prescription, vitamins and herbal products.
Some older patients with dementia have experienced extreme drowsiness. Let your doctor know if you become too tired or if your appetite changes.
You may experience drowsiness when you start this medication. You should not drive or operate dangerous machinery until you know how this medication will affect you.
The most common side effects reported in clinical studies were nausea, vomiting, extreme drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, abdominal pain, stomach upset, rash, diarrhea, increased appetite, pain, tremor, weight gain, back pain, hair loss, headache, fever, loss of appetite, constipation, double/blurred vision, side-to-side eye movements, staggering, emotional upset, abnormal thinking, amnesia, flu syndrome, infection, bronchitis, runny nose, bruising, swelling of the arms or legs, insomnia, nervousness, depression, sore throat, shortness of breath, and ringing of the ears.
This is not a complete list of reported side effects.
Dosing Considerations
Depakote and Depakote ER should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed or chewed.
Keep Depakote and Depakote ER and all other medication where children cannot reach them.
This is the most important information to know about Depakote and Depakote ER. For more information, talk with your health care provider.
*Divalproex sodium is a compound that contains sodium valproate and valproic acid.

The Larchmont Public Library has recently restored two historic murals—Larchmont Manor House and Larchmont Yacht Club. The library invites members of the community to come view the murals on permanent display above the fireplaces in the library's front reading rooms.
The murals, painted in oil on canvas, have been on display at the library since 1940, but have never been cleaned or restored. Over time, oil paintings tend to deteriorate as they constantly are exposed to dust, heat and other elements. In order to restore these iconic murals to their original beauty, the library hired Susan Blakney, founder and chief conservator of West Late Conservators, Ltd., in Skaneateles, NY.
Following a rigorous grant submission process, the library was selected as one of only 20 organizations to receive grant money from the Conservation Treatment Grant Program of the Greater Hudson Heritage Network. This $7,500 grant helped fund the restoration. The remaining costs of the restoration were made possible through generous donations from Mr. And Mrs. Carl Olsson, the Larchmont Yacht Club and The Friends of the Larchmont Library.
The murals were painted by landscape artist Thomas Donnelly (1893-1971), under the auspices of the W.P.A. (Works Project Administration). One of the murals depicts the Larchmont Manor House, among the oldest houses in Larchmont (built by Peter Jay). In 1865, the 400-acre property on which the Manor House stood was divided up and sold into smaller lots; this neighborhood is still referred to today as "Larchmont Manor." The second mural shows two sailors setting sail on a summer day, reflecting what a summer day in Larchmont Harbor in the 1930s might have been like.
The W.P.A. was an agency created by Franklin D. Roosevelt, as part of his New Deal. The agency hired hundreds of thousands of unemployed people to carry out public works projects, including art projects. Many murals found today in post offices and other public spaces throughout the United States were painted by artists commissioned by the W.P.A.
Library Director Laura Eckley comments, "We know our patrons are proud of their community and its heritage. The Donnelly W.P.A. murals are part of the library's history and many patrons who were raised in Larchmont have told us how vividly they remember these murals from their childhoods. Restoration of these murals will allow future generations to continue to enjoy them. "

Biology A concentration in Biology begins with course work in General Biology. Critical thinking and writing skills are a part of all undertakings in this concentration. A well-rounded biologist will build on basic concepts with study in core areas: ecology, cell and developmental biology, organismal biology and genetics. Course offering supplemented by tutorials allow students to accomplish this. In the current curriculum, for example, Methods in Field Ecology, Plant-Insect Interactions, and Coral Reef Ecology allow study of ecological principles beyond General Biology. Cell and developmental biology begins with a foundation course (with lab) in cell biology. Advanced courses such as Plant Developmental Biology, lab tutorials, internships, and seminars give the student an opportunity to shape interests. Organismal biology is represented in several course offerings, including Organismic Biology, Botany, Fish Biology, Invertebrate Zoology, Plant Physiology, and Entomology. Genetics (with lab) introduced the field that can be explored at advanced levels through work in biochemistry and through seminars focused on various levels of genetics from molecular to organismal, as well as through tutorials and internships. The curriculum is flexible to accommodate needs and interests. The sub-disciplines offered regularly by faculty include marine biology, neurobiology and environmental studies. Each assumes completion of general biology and the incorporation in an individual's curriculum of the core areas of study. Sub-disciplines such as genetics and entomology are designed individually, depending on specific areas of interest and academic goals. Students choosing one of the sub-disciplines will undertake one or two ISP's in the sub-discipline and a senior thesis. Students fulfilling requirements for concentrations such as gender studies may be able to arrange with faculty to focus projects or tutorials on gender topics. Courses such as Women in Science and the Role of Women in Natural History may also be of interest. Biology students should also complete the basic courses in physics, calculus and chemistry, and be able to use the computer as a research and presentation tool. Statistics and the command of a modern language other than English make important contributions to a biologist's education.

September 8, 2009 - October 1 -- Facebook, blogs, Twitter and other online media have made us all publishers. But what risks and responsibilities come with the territory? When, if ever, should others have a say in what we post in cyberspace? Student and faculty panelists will explore these timely issues at a forum entitled, 'Freedom of Expression in Cyberspace: Who Should Decide What You Publish?' The program will be held Thursday, Oct. 1, at 1 p.m. is co-sponsored by the Mann Center, University Library, the Journalism and Mass Communication Department, and the University Fellows program.
October 19 -- Dr. Betty L. Siegel will speak on 'Women's Leadership: An Invitational Approach to Success' on Monday, Oct. 19, at 3 p.m. in the Mann Center's A. Gerow Hodges Lectures in Ethics and Leadership. She is president emeritus of Kennesaw State University, Georgia's third-largest university, where she served as president for 25 years and was the longest-serving female president of a college or university in the United States. Dr. Siegel is an internationally known speaker and currently holds Kennesaw's Distinguished Chair of Leadership, Ethics and Character.
Both programs are open to the public and will be held on the Samford Univerity campus in the Brock Forum of Dwight Beeson Hall.
September 8, 2009 - Mann Center Director John Knapp was among an international group of scholars who issued a joint statement last month calling attention to higher education's complicity in ethical failures precipitating the global financial crisis. The signers were Fellows of the Caux Round Table (CRT), an international organization of leaders in business, government and education that promotes principles for responsible economic activity.
Meeting in Switzerland, representatives of universities in Europe, North America and Asia agreed that educators too often emphasize "technical competencies and practical skills, with little consideration for broader social responsibilities and expectations for principled behavior. This incomplete approach to professional education reflects a disdain for the ethical dimension of practice and was partially to blame for the recent massive market failures."
The statement continues, "Graduates of professional schools should learn to serve the public interest and the common good, for true professionals integrate and balance the application of technical skills with responsiveness to the legitimate needs and interests of others. The pillars of such professionalism are (1) stewardship of the interests of others, (2) earned trust through their diligence and discipline, and (3) specialized competence to exercise autonomous discretion and informed judgment. . . . Thus, professional responsibility may be understood as the capacity to respond fully to the needs and interests of those who depend upon the professionals' skills, and the ability to exercise these skills in an ethical manner."

PHILADELPHIA --- In the time it took the Eagles to fly to Phoenix, lose to the Cardinals, return, consider the events and ice some injuries, two important things occurred.
One: Michael Vick was placed under day-to-day evaluation by his head coach.
Two: Jeremy Maclin returned to practice, pronounced himself healthy and said he will play Sunday night against the New York Giants.
Who knows how one Eagles development may have impacted the other? Had Maclin played in Phoenix instead of being scratched with a hip injury, would the Eagles have won? Would Vick have been more comfortable with his favorite receiver in the lineup? Would a fresh new quarterback controversy have been avoided --- even if it was one that Andy Reid was quick to smother within hours of setting it ablaze?
Would the Eagles be 3-0 instead of 2-1?
I dont know, Maclin said Thursday. Im not a psychic. I dont know.
Hes not a psychic, but he has to know that what has happened in the interim should be a Week 4 boost to the Birds. Thats because he is not a hip specialist, either, but he knows he feels good enough to make a difference against New York.
Though the Eagles dont have to commit to Maclin before game time Sunday, the wide receiver has been practicing this week. And between workouts at the NovaCare Complex Thursday, he indicated that he could play right away.
I feel good, he said. I feel good, I would play, yes.
With that, the Eagles suddenly seemed more whole than they did against Arizona. Maclin caught seven passes for 96 yards in a Week 1 victory in Cleveland, then settled for one catch in a triumph over Baltimore in which he suffered a hip flexor strain. He was rested in favor of Damaris Johnson against the Cardinals, but he was not walking with any noticeable limp Thursday. And the Eagles coaches have been consistent all week in predicting that their leading 2011 receiver would face New York.
Jeremy is a great player, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. Ill tell you that Damaris, while he certainly fumbled that punt return, played well for a rookie. There were some communication problems there as well. I am pleased with the way he is playing for the spot that he has been put into.
Johnson is a rookie with punt-return duties. Maclin is a fourth-year pro who led the Birds with 63 receptions last season.
Among other benefits, a Maclin return would ease any recently added burdens on Vick, who has been so pressured and turnover-prone through three games that Reid at one early-week point called him his quarterback, right now. The implication: That could change. The ripple: A different kind of pressure on Vick.
For that, among other reasons, Maclin is anxious to join the rescue team.
Just to see the offense struggle in different aspects, it is not what you want to see, Maclin said. In that game we just couldnt get any rhythm. We know they are going to come at us with a whole bunch of different things. Hopefully, we can establish everything early this week and take what they give us.
Maclin was firm, though, in not spotlighting Vick for any Eagles struggles.
The fact is that we are 2-1, he said. You would think we are 0-and-3. Thats not the case. So if you want to say whose fault it is or whose fault it isnt, theres lot of things that go into one football play that the average eye doesnt see. But the people who know football know that nobody is to blame for anything. Theres always protection. There is always route running. There is always the quarterback throwing the ball. There is always handling the ball. So there is never one person who can obviously be causing your team anything like that. So I dont really like to get into stuff like that.
By Sunday night, he wont have to rely on his thoughts to change perception. He can provide an additional target for Vick.
I feel good, man, he said. Yesterday it felt pretty good to get out there. So we will continue to increase the workload as the week goes on. I should be all right.

When I got my package from Mimi the Sardine I was SOOOOO excited to see how cute this apron was! I knew right away that my girls would love it. However, I was soon disappointed to realize that the opening was too small to fit over the twins head! As I sat there looking at it and wondering "What do I do now?" Knuckles goes "Look!"
I am an IDIOT but the design of the Mimi the Sardine Kids Apron is GENIUS!
I LOVE that Mimi the Sardine uses only organic cotton with acrylic coating on their kids aprons! No PVC or Phthalates! Even the straps and buckles are safe! (Check out FAQ's for more information and a full list of their standards.)
You don't have to use these just for cooking! My girls also use it for painting and crafts! It's so versatile!
Even the baby can wear it!
And she LOVES it! Look at her smile!
As you can see, the Kids Apron will grow with your child from toddler to tween!
They are great quality, too! Machine washable and dry-able make them great for busy families! But, since they are water & soil resistant they don't have to be washed after every use which makes them perfect for busy families! This genius design is probably due to the fact that Mimi the Sardine is owned by a family and run by a woman!
All of the Mimi the Sardine lines match! So, you can order a Kids Apron for your older child, a Messy Baby Bib for the toddler, a Splashmat for the high chair, a Tablecloth for craft time, a Backpack for going to Grandmas house and a Lunchsack for co-op days! But wait- what about Mom? Mimi the Sardine has lunch bags and aprons for Mom, too!
Watch this video tutorial of how to tie a bow from The Princess. It's HILARIOUS!!
I definitely recommend Mimi the Sardine for little ones on your Christmas list!
BUY IT: You can buy a Kids Apron from Mimi the Sardine for $19.95

Has Technology Extended Your Work Day?
According to a study in the U.K., smart phones have people working an extra two hours a day in Britain. Has your technology extended your work day?
Researchers in the U.K. say a study has found that, thanks to smart-phone technology, Brits work an extra two hours a day or 460 extra hours a year. That's because they check and respond to emails while they are off the clock.
According to a story in The Daily Mail, the study reveals that the average U.K. working day is between nine or 10 hours, but factor in the smart phone and that swells to 11 or 12 hours a day. The extra two hours are spent responding to work emails or making work phone calls while they're off duty. Some who don't even have smart phones reportedly confessed to checking work emails on their home computer. According to the study, two-thirds of the respondents check emails before going to bed and again as soon as they get up. One-third confessed to replying to emails in the middle of the night.
So what about you? Has technology increased your work day? Do you no longer leave your work at the office? Does it now follow you home in your smart phone?

The people you work so hard to be with and to provide for need you and miss you...they will realize they can live without you when they get so used to living without you...be fully present. Your kids are growing up and you are missing it! Your relationship will sour...you will grow old and miss your own life! Turn the electronics off!!!!!!!

Although it has much to do to fully reopen, Bellevue Hospital on Manhattan's East Side started seeing adults and children in its primary care department and clinics for the first time since Sandy.
The hospital is also now taking walk-in patients with non-emergencies 24 hours a day and offered outpatient primary care clinics and routine OB/GYN services.
Nadine McGregor told NY1 she was happy to be among the hospital's few patients on Monday.
"It is important for me because I need to se a doctor to get my thyroid medicine, so it's open. I'm glad it's open, I like Bellevue," said McGregor
"It was three weeks ago that we saw our last patients leave here and I thought we were all going to crumble, but here we are back again," said Lynda Curtis, the senior vice president of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation.
Millions of gallons of water from the East River poured into Bellevue's basement at the height of the storm and more than 700 patients had to be evacuated.
"Each safely bundled up by their care provider on the inpatient units, then carried down 16 flights of stairs by national guardsmen or emergency medical technicians, to be checked by clinical staff at ground level and to be loaded aboard the waiting ambulances," said Dr. Nathan Link, Bellevue's medical director. "No patient was harmed during this remarkable process."
With more than 625,000 visits every year, Bellevue is considered the flagship of the city's publicly run health care system. But as important as this facility is, officials said it will not be fully operational until February.
"There is still much work to do to repair the extensive damage to the heating, domestic water, ventilation, communications, elevator systems caused when the flood waters surged into the hospital's 180,000-square-feet basement," said Alan Aviles, the president of the HHC.
Hospital officials are hoping the emergency room will open its doors in mid-December, followed by the operating rooms in February.

I just wanted to say that the people over at H&R/NEF are great. I personally think the older H&R branded pistols are better then the NEF pistol, but they stand behind their product. I have sent my 32cal pistol in twice now for repairs, once from my doing and this last time was a part failure internal to the gun. They have covered free of charge the repairs both times, and just cost me shipping and the time, and my gun is way out of the advertised warranty.
Anyway, I think their guns are pretty good, and their service dept. makes them even better.

Enter the Matrix Review
Enter the Matrix on Xbox is graphically better than on GameCube and as amazing as it was on GameCube.
For huge fans of The Matrix Reloaded, it's worth renting for the movie sequences. For everyone else, it's just another licensed game that doesn't do justice to its source material.
There have been plenty of games based on movies in the past, and there seems to be an industry subset devoted solely to pumping out run-of-the-mill action games based loosely on books, TV shows, movies, and cartoons. Enter the Matrix attempts to take the concept to the next level by delivering a new storyline that runs concurrent to the movie it's based on, The Matrix Reloaded, filling in some of the back story that the movie doesn't have time to deliver. While there are a few instances in the game where that is indeed the case, the game's story isn't strong enough to stand on its own, and the gameplay simply doesn't save it, making the game worth a look for hard-core fans of The Matrix films, but a buggy disappointment for just about anyone else.
Enter the Matrix focuses on two side characters named Niobe and Ghost. You'll see both characters sparingly throughout the film, but they rarely get any meaningful screen time. However, it's assumed that the duo is off doing something important when they aren't hanging out with Neo, Trinity, and the rest of the film's principal characters. The game proves that assumption correct, as you'll pick up the story just after the conclusion of one of the short stories that make up The Animatrix and make your way from mission to mission until you reach the game's conclusion, which takes place around the same time as the end of the film. The game's story is very fast and loose, and it assumes that you're already familiar with the film. Even the game's FMV ending is little more than a "Whew, that was close" sequence with a trailer for the film thrown in for good measure. There is a smattering of FMV used throughout the game, but most of the noninteractive sequences are rendered with the game's engine.
Enter the Matrix's engine delivers a pretty standard third-person action game. You're able to fire weapons and engage in hand-to-hand combat against a collection of foes. Most of the fighting puts you up against security guards, cops, and SWAT forces, but you'll also face the Matrix's own brand of vampires, as well as a couple of well-placed run-ins with life-threatening agents. The game is objective-driven. It opens with your character in a post office, trying to get to a specific PO box to retrieve some information. As you make your way through the game, you'll chase after airplanes in an SUV, rescue captured rebels, navigate a sewer system, destroy a nuclear power plant, and fight off a sentinel attack from on board your ship, the Logos. None of the objectives are fleshed out terribly well, and it's difficult to really get a feel for what, exactly, your team is doing and how, exactly, it ties into the plot of the film. Sections also stop and start very, very abruptly, as the game pauses to load up new sequences or give you the opportunity to save quite often.
The Matrix may have been credited with bringing the slow-motion "bullet time" effect to the big screen, but games like Max Payne have already brought the effect--which slows time down to give you cleaner shots and more control of your character--to video games. Enter the Matrix, of course, uses this effect, and it's governed by a "focus" meter. You can use focus at the touch of a button, and it does things like let you run up walls, jump farther, and cartwheel out of the way of oncoming bullets. The ironic thing is that you really don't need to use the effect all that often, as the enemy AI is easily dispatched by hitting the action button to disarm them and then finishing up with some quick punches and kicks. You'll pick up an array of guns along the way, and it's quite easy to just pump enemies full of lead rather than bother with your kung fu skills. The AI in the game is also a bit of a mess, so you can expect to see things like enemy cops running into a wall and staying there, enemies clipping through walls and doors instead of running around to get to you, and so on. The game is rarely difficult, and like in Activision's recent movie game, X2: Wolverine's Revenge, you can simply stand still for a minute or so and regain all your health, which takes away almost all the tension. Short chapters and frequent saves combine to prevent you from ever having to replay lengthy sequences, should you actually die.
Enter the Matrix's most heinous flaw is that it draws from a highly stylized universe but fails to capitalize on any of those strengths. Even though your characters will occasionally make some pretty daring escapes, you never actually get to do those things yourself. The game lets you run right up to the ledge, for example, but an in-engine cutscene always kicks in just as you're about to jump off. Also, some of the effects just look hokey. The game's subpar animation prevents most of your acrobatics from looking particularly good, and little touches, like the way the agents become a blur when they move to dodge bullets in the film, are totally missing here--which is especially silly, because it makes the agents look like they're trying to dance whenever shots are fired in their direction. Even the game's final sequence, which has you either piloting or covering the Logos as it runs from a ton of sentinels, seems ill-conceived. Perhaps it's fitting that a game with so much full-motion video has an end sequence that plays like it was taken directly from a Sega CD game--namely, Sewer Shark.

Fuck Conan, Fluttershy's got that shit. - June 16, 2011 at 5:03 PM
To be fair, townsville's mayor actually.. does stuff mayorly.
Ponyville's mayor's job is apparently finding out who can do her job(Damn cutiemark nepotism) - June 16, 2011 at 5:03 PM

It's not like ponyville's mayor is useless! I mean, look how well she organised the winter wrap up... er... um...

No mayor is as bad as the Townsville mayor. He hired a babysitter from prison, and gave them a full pardon, just because he wanted to play Zelda. (Of course, it was the Powerpuff Girls that were babysat so it isn't THAT big a deal, but still...)

Dear God, Fluttershy! Wait...I thought Angel was a girl?
The second one got me good :) - June 16, 2011 at 5:13 PM
- Star Gazer said...
I was under the impression that Angel Bunny is a boy.
Fluttershy scares me first comic =X
Second one... Yeah, I can see the similarities. Next thing we know she'll show that she's married to a hideous old colt that she cannot stand. - June 16, 2011 at 5:19 PM
- DareDreamer said...
@Star Gazer
Yeah, they never really made it clear what Angel's gender is. In the show, it seems as if he's male. The toy(that comes with brush-able Fluttershy)on the other hand, clearly shows Angel's a girl.
For the most part, I think Angel's a boy as well. - June 16, 2011 at 5:23 PM
R-rule 244.... 'A';
Don't hurt me Fluttershy! You're still cute.. you're still cute! >.< - June 16, 2011 at 5:24 PM
I like how in the Fluttershy one, he censors Fuck but leaves Cunt and Shit.
- June 16, 2011 at 5:28 PM
The bunny that comes with Fluttershy shows up for like five seconds in one of the episodes and is never seen again.
Also, big comic is big. - June 16, 2011 at 5:31 PM
- Pineapple Skitter said...
Perhaps... perhaps there's more than one Angel?
Judging from that comic, I'd expect Fluttershy to cycle through them in rapid succession...
Maybe the *angel* part is more a title than a name, a grim self-filing prophesy? - June 16, 2011 at 5:42 PM

The jerk of a rabbit Angel finally getting what he deserves?

I haven't commented recently, but the occasion is important enough:
LOLD. - June 16, 2011 at 5:52 PM
While Fluttershy snapping at Angel is something he deserves (just leave him Fluttershy, come live with me, I'll love you better!), it's disconcerting to see swearing coming from a pony. It's just... wrong.
- June 16, 2011 at 6:03 PM

The second one was just awesome, too big though, but a simple save and watch with windows fixed the problem.

Why hasn't there been a PPG/Pony crossover yet? WHY?
- June 16, 2011 at 6:20 PM
Ho-lee f*** that 3rd panel in the Fluttershy comic was priceless, i haven't laughed so hard at an image in a very long time. Seriously good work on that one. =D
- June 16, 2011 at 6:22 PM
ok first: 2° one: jaja yes those are the 2 most uncompetent mayor i've ever seen
1° one: i think you just traumatized me for life, whit the fluttershy snap mod - June 16, 2011 at 6:33 PM
Am I the only one who thinks Angel would just b*tchslap Fluttershy and snap her back to normal?
- June 16, 2011 at 7:02 PM
Fluttershy was originally a candidate for the
Angry Mareines but was denied because she wasn't
always angry. Little known fact. - June 16, 2011 at 7:32 PM

That's how the business end of The Stare looks like. Obviously.

I WAS IN SHUCH A DUNGY MOOD. these fixed me right up
Fluttershy SNAP mode? HAY NO!! Thats FlutterPoctalyptica, thats what that is.
Yes it is not cool to see our fave Mares and Fillies swear . . . its funny as HAY when they do. Wrong? yes! Funny? HAY YES!!
I substitute the cursing myself . . . colt of a brood, hay, road apple stuff like that . . . i used them in context and it seems just as dramatic to me . . . my fav is the colt of a brood substitution n.n i made that one up from knowledge. YAY USELESS FACTS! - June 16, 2011 at 8:00 PM
We've found out exactly what the animals see whenever Fluttershy gives the Stare now i think. No bloody wonder most cower instantaneously.

- Delta Pangaea said...
Am I the only person who actually LIKES Angel? I mean sure, he's a prick, but he does his bit to help. He's like Fluttershy's confidence, which also explains why he's not seen so much.
He is most assuredly a dude. I'm pretty sure he's referred to as a dude at one point. - June 16, 2011 at 8:19 PM
- B-Man said...
You need to put a warning up the next time you put up such a large comic. My computer can barely handle crap that big! It was funny, though.
- June 16, 2011 at 8:52 PM
@Delta Pangaea
Nope, you're not the only one lol.
In fact, I have him as my DA avatar >.<
I think his personality complements Fluttershy's very well. - June 16, 2011 at 9:22 PM
- Rockabore said...
@Delta Pangaea
I actually think Angel Bunny is great. He's a bit of a prick but he's funny. Plus he's not always a jerk to Fluttershy in a few instances he's been helpful to her like in Ticket Master and A Bird in the Hoof. - June 16, 2011 at 10:49 PM
#1 HAHAHAHAHA Funny basically what would happen in real life if you came with that kinda attitude at the wrong person and you where just a small guy(bunny) xD
I Just don't get it why they had to give FlutterShy/Rage Arnold's body - June 16, 2011 at 11:28 PM

ho my goddess Celestia did both of those tickle my oft-unused funny bone or WHAT?
...why yes, yes they did. That was rhetorical. - June 17, 2011 at 12:36 AM

If you were the mayor of a town that was home to a group of super powered individuals, Everything you do would be overshadowed by them. They probably do things when no body is looking but we watch the shows for kick ass moments, not a mayor reading a tax audit of the postal system.

@Pineapple Skitter
There must be a bunny graveyard behind the cottage... - June 17, 2011 at 3:31 AM
First one almost literally made me poop myself, then I laughed so long it nearly brought tears to my eyes. PRICELESS!
- June 17, 2011 at 5:54 AM
The ULTIMATE PPG/MLP:FiM crossover I'd love to see sometime would involve in some way the song "Love Makes the World Go Round" and/or the PPG & Ponies jamming w/ one another like a massive rock band!
- June 19, 2011 at 7:00 AM
Wow, that fluttershy one was severely disturbing. Also, I second the idea that it needs to be scaled down some.
- June 23, 2011 at 11:34 AM
I really can't picture Fluttershy acting like that to her pet at all. I think some people really overestimate how Psychoshy would act.
- June 26, 2011 at 11:00 AM
@Anonomous above ^
That's the point of the whole comic and what makes it so funny.she's not suppose to act like that which is hilarious. It's just a bit of dark humor is all. Not everyone will like it. Just saying. - June 27, 2011 at 8:21 PM
I like it. It's a good way to point out that Lauren Faust incorporates elements from her old shows (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and The Powerpuff Girls).
- June 28, 2011 at 11:47 AM
^ That's true--I've noticed such things. And just now watching "Green Isn't Your Color," Fluttershy's flight kinda reminded me of a Powerpuff Girl. ^^
- July 12, 2011 at 4:09 PM
Holy SHIT, that bunny may be traumatized for life...über-muscular, manly, grotesque Flutterrage is someplace beyond mortifying. *.* ._.
- July 13, 2011 at 12:03 PM

Anyone else drop pellets at the first one? I think I'm forever scarred and ruined at her, um, behavior… but in my eyes Angel deserves it. He's always rude to EVERYPONY. He deserved it.

The hotel was fantastic. Everything you'd expect from a Hilton hotel. It was clean, the service was good, the rooms were spacious, and well maintained. The gym is great with free weights, a few free weight benches, a universal type machine, and some cardio equipment. There is an outdoor patio, pool, and hot tub (but I did not use them).... More

"Ran Morin's unusual sculpture Orange Suspendu draws thousands of tourists each year who stand beside it and marvel. Like many others who admire his work, Israeli environment artist Ran Morin's favorite sculpture is a centerpiece of Jaffa's Old City. Although the artist labors years, sometimes decades, over projects spanning a number of Jerusalem's historic archeology sites, it's the orange tree, Orange Suspendu that hovers both in situ and in the mind.
Created in 1993, Orange Suspendu hangs in an entranceway to a cobblestone path leading to galleries and art studios, where it is held about a meter above ground by wires. The unusual city landmark – only seconds away from the Mediterranean Sea – draws thousands of tourists each year who stand beside it, marveling.
This is true even for those who don't know the history of the famous Israeli export, the Jaffa orange which was packed and shipped from the Jaffa Port starting in the late 1800s, and which continues to be a favorite the world over. The Jaffa orange tree is also a symbol for the local Arab Israeli population, who share the multicultural city with their Jewish neighbors."
I hope all of you are having a wonderful day, wherever this find you.

John Mooney Sculptures Of Cute Little Doggies Vomiting And Shitting Themselves Are Quite Refreshing
What's not to like about John Mooney's sculptures – they're like the work of an errant schoolboy, one given over to scribbling. defacing his school books, adding cocks, shit, piss and vomit to famous figures from history. Yes, you know what I'm talking about, we all did it at some stage. Well I did. Anyway, his work really is that base. You only have to look at it. I mean his figures do look cute even when getting sick but they do hark back to the schoolroom. Certainly remind me of my school days when my imagination was most exercised when trying to come up the grossest, most obscene, anarchic doodles on and in my schoolbooks.
In fairness to Mooney is work isn't all about faeces and vomit he also paints, draws, creates installations, makes film as well as sculpting zombie transvestites, three-breasted ladies and schoolgirls disguised as landscapes. All in jest. And it's great to see.
Here's what Mooney has to say about his work:
I am compelled to produce for one reason or another in a variety of media, from sculpture to drawing, painting, film and performance.
My sculptural works are unique originals, produced by hand. They are either shown individually or en masse, as seen in the installation 'Discontinued'. When these works are combined and contrasted against each other in such an installation it is my intention to produce a subversive shrine of sorts; a contradictory vision which recalls votive offerings, video nasties, schoolboy humour and schoolboy error. I invite the viewer to seek out the familiar and question the unfamiliar.

The stylish South American capital with an epic history stakes its claim as an international center of cuisine, culture and design
Author JON MARCUS
IN THE HEART OF BUENOS AIRES, just off the avenue that honors the day Argentina won its independence from Spain, is the Teatro Colón. One of the most acoustically perfect theaters in the world, the 2,500-seat venue was designed by Italian architects using Belgian and Austrian marble, with French furnishings and floors made of oak from the forests of Croatia. Like Buenos Aires itself, the theater is a combination of the best of Europe, built at a time when the emergent city sought to become the Paris of South America, before its tortured run of brutal military dictatorships interspersed with fragile, contentious democracies (one featuring Eva "Evita" Perón, the charismatic first lady who posthumously became an international icon). Today, newly reopened after a three-year, $100 million renovation, the Teatro Colón is a symbol of a thrumming metropolis as eclectic as they come, not only in its architecture but also in the mélange of nationalities and cultures that blends European sophistication and Latin spice. The result is a diverse, thriving city that is wholly South American and, at the same time, absolutely unlike any other.
DAY ONE | You check in at the Hotel Panamericano (1) on Avenida 9 de Julio — said to be the widest boulevard in the world, with seven lanes in each direction, plus four more each way on parallel side streets. From the hotel's grand lobby, with its ornately tiled floor and soaring ceilings, you follow the tuxedoed bellman to your room among the upper suites and studios, and take in the commanding view of El Obelisco, a monument built in 1936 to commemorate the city's 400th anniversary.
January is summer in South America, so you go outside and explore the grid of streets fanning out from El Obelisco. At the Plaza de Mayo (2), the symbolic center of the city, you get your bearings with a private tour from Eternautas (named for a time traveler in an Argentine comic strip), led by students and professors from the University of Buenos Aires. The guides separate Buenos Aires fact from mythology (of which there is no shortage) while recommending the hippest cafés and dance halls, or milongos.
Tour over, it's time for a late lunch at Café Tortoni (3), the oldest coffee shop in the city, having opened in 1858. The Tortoni is situated on Avenida de Mayo, which locals, known as porteños, call the "Spanish Avenue" for its architecture. The café is decidedly French, however, with dark wood, stained glass, historical photos, small tables and neighborhood intellectuals holding court beneath ornate high ceilings. "The tourist who arrives in Buenos Aires has the entire city in the Tortoni," Argentine author José Gobello has said.
An after-lunch stroll down Avenida 9 de Julio brings you to the Teatro Colón (4). So extraordinary is this building that it's harder to get tickets for the one-hour tours than for a performance; booking ahead was smart. Past the gorgeous lobby and anterooms, the U-shaped auditorium is itself a breathtaking symphony of velvet and gold leaf. In addition to operas from April through December, there are concerts almost every Thursday and low-price standing-room spots high in the balconies, where the acoustics are purportedly the best. Sometimes there's a free chamber concert scheduled in the gilded patrons' room, which the local aristocracy modeled on the Palace of Versailles.
Showing up for dinner any earlier than 9 p.m. is déclassé in Argentina, so you have plenty of time to amble along Avenida Corrientes (5), lined with bookshops and theaters. For your merienda, or teatime snack, you pull up a stool at the bar in one of the many pizzerias and enjoy a little people-watching along with your Argentine pizza, which is greasier than what you've had elsewhere (though deliciously so), with a doughier crust.
Before heading back to the hotel, you join the flood of workers coursing through the chaotic pedestrian retail strip of Calle Florida and make a quick stop for a cucurucho clásico, a cone of Argentina's famously rich ice cream, at the Freddo (6) window. You opt for the chocolate amargo, studded with big chunks of chocolate — and are instantly hooked. Fortunately, though maybe not for your waistline, there are Freddo cafés all over town.
After a nap at the hotel, you arrive for your 10:30 dinner reservation at the extraordinary restaurant housed in the Panamericano, Tomo 1 (7), which serves haute riffs on classic porteño fare in a sleek contemporary setting. You're saving room for all the world-renowned Argentine steak you'll be eating tomorrow, so you order the classic spinach ravioli. Sated from the food and a few glasses of local malbec from the extensive wine list, you call it a day.
It's quite curios to see the fascination of foreigners with Evita Peron. The picture they have of Evita comes probably from the movie or the play and has no connection to the real character. Many Argentineans have a very different and much less favorable opinion of who she was and what she did. At the same time and again based in a film, Juan Peron is view as a dark power behind her, also false. There would be no Evita without Peron and he was the driving force behind the changes that improved the living conditions of most workers in Argentina.
I think the author missed the mark. Most Argentineans go to Fervor for the seafood and fish, not the steak. Shopping on the same day in Palermo and in Recoleta is like shopping on Madison Avenue and in Brooklyn all in one afternoon. Buenos Aires is a large cosmopolitan city and it takes time to get from one place to another. Argentineans take you past the Evita Peron photo, say take a look, you've seen enough. There's so much more to this wonderful South American city with locals who speak Spanish, act like Americans, and think like Italians.

Louisiana Story [DVD]
Director : Robert Flaherty
Screenplay : Frances Flaherty and Robert Flaherty
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1948
Robert Flaherty was never a conventional documentary filmmaker, and his films, although routinely referred to as "documentaries," were often highly fictionalized works that used real-life settings and people for the purpose of evoking deep, primal mythologies. Although they often appeared spontaneous, his films are thoroughly constructed to achieve exactly what Flaherty wanted. To a journalistic purist, this is a highly questionable, if not downright contemptible, practice, as it maintains the illusion of transparent documentation of "real life," but is in fact a carefully constructed fiction. For those who accept that objectively documenting "real life" is an inherent impossibility—a fiction in its own right—his films are fascinating exercises in myth making.
Flaherty's second-to-last film, Louisiana Story, keeps in line with his cinematic obsession of observing primitive cultures, usually through the eyes of a child. In this case, his camera is trained on the lives of rural Cajuns in the Louisiana bayous, but he adds a twist by exploring what happens when the modern world crosses the worn pathways of a primitive way of life. The modern is represented by a massive oil derrick that has been erected in the Petit Anse Bayou, its clean, functionalist aesthetic standing in stark contrast to the untamed, swampy landscape around it.
What is interesting about Louisiana Story is the way in which it struggles to maintain a largely neutral tone in looking at the meeting of past and present. This is no environmental diatribe in which the oil derrick is positioned as an intrusion on the noble world of the Cajuns, but neither is it a celebration of the modern machine age. The film was funded by the Standard Oil Company, so it's tempting to read it as celebrating the enterprise of drilling for oil, but Flaherty refuses to be that simplistic.
Granted, there are numerous borderline fetishistic close-ups of the oil drilling machinery at work, but there is just as much time spent documenting the wilderness and the teeming life within it—from crocodiles, to cranes, to raccoons. Flaherty's gift as a filmmaker was his sense for how to portray cinematically the power of natural surroundings, whether that be the Arctic in Nanook of the North (1922) or the barren islands of Aran in Man of Aran (1934). Here, aided greatly by the Pulitzer Prize-winning score by Virgil Thomson, he gives us lyrical images of swampland that make them seem enchanting and mystical, even if in the back of our minds we realize they are hot, humid, and filled with blood-sucking insects.
Louisiana Story has been hailed as a masterpiece, and in 1994 the Library of Congress inducted it into the National Film Registry. It displays many of Flaherty's great strengths as a filmmaker, but it also showcases some of his weaknesses, which makes it an uneven film that is not in league with his earlier works. Perhaps because his earlier films were silent, he could get away with using real-life people as "characters" in his narratives. In Louisiana Story, one is constantly and awkwardly reminded that the people on-screen, while "real" in the sense that they fill the same role in their lives outside the film that they do on-screen, are clearly being directed and have been fed dialogue that they recite woodenly. Where Flaherty's visuals are stunning and refuse to take sides in the struggle between machine-driven progress and the maintenance of the natural world, his shoehorned narrative and hammy dialogue practically sink the film.
Whereas many of his earlier films better conveyed a sense of spontaneity, virtually everything in Louisiana Story feels canned and processed, particularly the relationship between the central character, a rough-and-tumble, but sweet-faced Cajun boy (Joseph Boudreaux) and two oil workers who befriend him (Frank Hardy and C.P. Guedry). In this relationship it is hard not to sense the intrusion of Standard Oil into the film, as the oil workers are portrayed as good, clean, decent, hard-working men who don't mind taking time out of their busy routines to befriend the locals, who they regard with cheerful bemusement. While "lyrical" is a word often associated with Flaherty's films, the one that comes to mind here is "cute," in the same way those hokey educational films produced by Walt Disney in the 1940s and '50s were "cute," which is far beneath the skills of a gifted and pioneering filmmaker like Flaherty.

Distributor | Home Vision Entertainment | |
Release Date | May 20, 2003 | |
The transfer for this disc was made from a print that resulted from a restoration of the film conducted in 1998 by the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art, and the UCLA Film and Television Archives. The result is absolutely gorgeous, with a clean, pleasantly filmlike image that is marred only by the occasional and barely noticeable vertical hairline. Otherwise, the image is clean of dirt and damage, and the wide gradation of grays assures a wealth of visual detail. | ||
The soundtrack is presented in its original monaural mix, and Virgil Thomson's Pulitzer Prize-winning score sounds clean and rich. The sound effects and dialogue have a somewhat canned sound to them, but that is a result of the film's original postproduction mixing, not the transfer. | ||
As with their DVD presentation of Robert Flaherty's Man of Aran, Home Vision has included a similarly nice array of supplements for Louisiana Story. The first is the inclusion of The Land, a 20-minute documentary directed by Robert Flaherty in 1940 for the Department of Agriculture. Presented in a somewhat scratched and faded print, it is a rather dreary look at modern agriculture and the effects it has on both the land and people who work it. Also included is an excerpt from a 1971 documentary titled Hidden and Seeking that features Flaherty's wife and collaborator, Frances Flaherty. She is also interviewed in a 1960s television show titled Flaherty and Film. Audio interviews with her and cinematographer Richard Leacock have been edited together into an optional audio commentary during the film's much praised opening sequence. Finally, there is a supplement in which an actor reads excerpts from Leacock's letters home to his wife during the film's production. This also included production stills and clips from the film. |

of Casper, WY - January, 17 2011:
I recently set one of these up on a Browning X-bolt using Warne bases and rings. It cleared easily with low rings and is very comfortable to shoulder. Big objective performance with small objective positioning. Oh ya, it also performs outstanding in the fading light. Go for it!
