Brony Stuff Confirmed for Season Two?
Whether this is just Derpy Hooves, or a whole truckload of of fanon easter eggs remains to be seen. I'm looking forward to all of the "HOLY CRAP DID YOU JUST SEE THAT!?" on /co/ when it does happen though!

As long as it's nothing but simple nods and not outright pandering, I'll be far more happy than I have a right to be.
This is still pretty awesome. - August 5, 2011 at 7:02 PM
- Narwhals' Bend said...
If they wanted it to appeal to me, they would have Luna as the main character in every episode.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:03 PM
- Altercation said...
I really hope that this is just more silly background stuff and not outright fanservice. It's stuff like that which would ruin the show for me.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:05 PM
Brony stuff, huh? If they wanted to make this appeal to me more than it already does, they'd make a spinoff series about Rainbow Dash.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:05 PM
Will there be Sweety Belle DerrAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Pretty neat, I wonder if they'll release more details this month or next... ( we are getting close to 4th quarter of the year... can... not... WAIT!!! )
- August 5, 2011 at 7:06 PM
I REALLY hope they know what they're doing if they start pandering. I'm sure it's little easter egg type things such as Derpy, but my enthusiasm for season two is a little lowered by this announcement.
Hopefully it's all fine, though. - August 5, 2011 at 7:06 PM
- GabuEx said...
I'm holding off until we actually see what these things are, but consider me tentatively excited.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:08 PM
- Octavia said...
More details might just come closer to the start of Season 2. "Stay tuned!" :P I'm sure there will probably be many happy Bronies and squeeing like little fangirls before too long. lol
- August 5, 2011 at 7:08 PM
Don't fail don't fail don't fail don't fail don't fail, oh god, please don't fail.

Just as long as FiM stays as kid-friendly as always. ;)
- August 5, 2011 at 7:09 PM
The head dude, Jason or what's his name, had stated he knows quite well fanservice can kill a show.
I'm sure he won't let it get out of hand, and it'll be just little nods and the like. - August 5, 2011 at 7:10 PM
- KShrike said...
If Dash ships with anypony, there will be hell to pay.
Just going to put that out there. - August 5, 2011 at 7:11 PM
- Shaun Hegney said...
Honestly if they want to include something I'll care about. I want to see a more plot driven season. Not that I didn't love most of season 1 as a way to introduce the cast. I would like a more structured season for example more episodes like the season opener.
Oh and please for the love of god bring back the elements of Harmony. I mean they where thrown to the wayside and that is just depressing. - August 5, 2011 at 7:12 PM
- KouThan said...
When will season 2 start? I can't wait, (applebloom mode) I want it NOW!
- August 5, 2011 at 7:13 PM
Like most people are saying, it will probably be little easter eggs of no significance. Such as Lyra sitting upright, more Derpy being Derpy, perhaps calling Scootaloo a chicken again. They are smart enough not to change dialogue, events, and characters.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:14 PM
- shadefox said...
Little nods to various memes, I can see.
But like some others have mentioned, they need to be careful.
What the show WAS is what spawned this fanbase. Not what the show MIGHT be. - August 5, 2011 at 7:16 PM
If Rainbow Dash becomes homosexual, I'm never going to watch the show ever again.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:17 PM
I really hope it is just simple, silly background things like Lyra and Bonbon together (along with Lyra's silly poses), Derpy, and maybe call backs to favorite quotes used in season one. Too much fan service would just kill the show in the end.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:17 PM
The director is as excited as we are about brony content?
MY BODY IS READY! - August 5, 2011 at 7:17 PM
- Tleilaxu Ghola said...
@Shaun Hegney
Basically this. Repeat appearances of background ponies would also be easy to do. Maybe a little development on them.
It's not going to take much to make a gesture to the brony crowd. I don't think we need to worry about them jumping the shark. - August 5, 2011 at 7:20 PM
I'm with some of the others here. I'm fine with them giving props to the older audience. At the same time, though, I don't want them to go overboard with it. If they can somehow strike a balance like Anamaniacs did, I'd be quite happy.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:20 PM
- Octavia said...
I wouldn't worry anyone. Nothing major is going to be changed. First and foremost the show is still a children's show. And it's going to remain that way. With the occasional jokes the older audience would only understand. And perhaps some little things thrown in the Bronies will only get of course. But nothing that's going to be over the top or change major things in the show.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:21 PM
Instead of fanservice I'd really prefer if they just learned not to reuse the same few background ponies over and over again in every scene - sometimes the same pony appearing several places in the same shot. Seeing two bonbons at once ruins the illusions of her actually being a pony and not just cardboard.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:22 PM
- Rubidia said...
Oh dear Celestia above they just LOVE to tease us, don't they?
I WANT TO WATCH THE FIRST TEN EPISODES OF SEASON 2 AS WELL. ;A; - August 5, 2011 at 7:22 PM
jokes for the older audience??
*Imagines sexual joke involving Rainbow Dash* - August 5, 2011 at 7:23 PM
- Octavia said...
Not quite those kind of jokes. lol If it's too much for the 5-11 age audience, it'll be too much for the show. :P - August 5, 2011 at 7:24 PM
- Pixel Coder said...
@Anonymous 7:18
I was just thinking that. Is this Shaun guy you, Seth?
(If it's not, then it must be @Shaun Hegney above. Hey, let's lump all the Shauns into one person! :P) - August 5, 2011 at 7:30 PM
I would be more then ecstatic for background references that don't affect the story. Like on a table behind the main characters there is a newspaper lying down with the name 'Equestria Daily" barely visible.
Or one of the main characters visits Colgate/Romana and they show her in a store that sells toothbrushes.
Anything like that is highly amusing and has zero affect on the plot. - August 5, 2011 at 7:31 PM
- twilightlover21 said...
I think it would be funny to see a scene were raimbow is mad and sais something but a loud noise blocks her. I would lose it right then and there!
- August 5, 2011 at 7:33 PM
@AnonymousOh, you mean like " Ha ha shes a lesbian cuz she has rainbow hair." Not funny, asshole
- August 5, 2011 at 7:40 PM
As others have said, I hope it's just little nods to the older fanbase. Something in the background that would make you go, "Oh, HO! HO! I see what you did there." Nothing more.
I'd freak if they had Luna in socks though. - August 5, 2011 at 7:40 PM
And then in the first episode, Nyx is sitting in the libary
- August 5, 2011 at 7:40 PM
- bronydash said...
I would like more subtle references to stuff bronies would know, and maybe a running plot and more jokes. (random pinkie pie stuff is always good) but one of the things I love about the show is it's innocence. It better not lose any of that, or I will send the creators to pony hell. I'm not exaggerating! Okay maybe a little. (See? Throw something like that in the show and that's all we'll need.)
- August 5, 2011 at 7:41 PM
- Vyuun said...
Have you ever watched Animaniacs? That show, designed for kids, had tons of adult jokes that would go over the head of the intended demographic and that show did very well. MLP:FiM could definitely sneak some stuff in there without being jarring. - August 5, 2011 at 7:42 PM
I hope its Scootabuse. Oh God plz let it be delicious Scootabuse
- August 5, 2011 at 7:42 PM
Example of successful nod to bronies: scene with Luna, abacus in background. Done and done.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:42 PM
Luna's return was confirmed for the second season. That's good enough for me.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:42 PM
- Luke said...
Really hope it's just background stuff. If they change the core of the show to appeal to the new audience it's going to move away from the show we all liked in the first place.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:44 PM
- Joe England said...
This will either make the show less awesome, and begin a slow poisoning of the fandom, or make it more awesome, and elevate it to levels of pop culture godhood most animated series only dream of. Either possibility scares me. But it's a fun scared.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:46 PM
@Luke and everyone else saying it. The writers arent dumbasses, they know when they should draw the line, and I think we should all know it. Repeating the shit over and over isnt helping
- August 5, 2011 at 7:46 PM
- Sandman said...
Definitely something to look forward to, though I do hope they don't change the show in order to give the nods to the brony or adult community. All I would hope to see are easter eggs hidden in the show, stuff that you have to be in the know to see. The way the show is in Season 1 is what caused us to fall in love with it.
Maybe one thing made canon would be awesome, the Ditzy-Dinky Family. Hell, that would have me floating on a cloud of happy adorableness for the entire damn season.
So three things I want to see in S2: Luna(Long live the NLR!), Ditzy-Dinky Family, and really subtle easter eggs.
Oh! and wicked awesome music, can't forget that. Expecting many more wonderful pieces from you Mr.Ingram! - August 5, 2011 at 7:56 PM
Rainbow Dash should end up with that bully pony "Dumbbell". He obviously likes her. Also the next time we see Doctor Whooves he should have a British voice. And if we saw a corner of a blue colored box maybe behind a building or something.......that would be SO AWESOME!
- August 5, 2011 at 7:57 PM
Heh hopefully /co/ will become a much better forum of pony discussion when season two comes out. I was sad when it got really moronic after only a week.
- August 5, 2011 at 7:57 PM
- Ewyndall said...
I would be more than pleased with just subtle nods and simple references, like, as mentioned above, seeing Lyra&BonBon together in the background, Derpy appearing in every episode in the background, probably some community references (how about a cartboard box somewhere in the background with a Sethisto tag on it? XD).
That's all we need and they shouldnt go any further. I honestly believe that altering the show in any major way, like fundamentally changing the story style to appeal to adults more, introducing any form of shipping on a canon level, trying to implement background characters as lead story characters, etc. just to favor the fanbase would destroy what we like the show for, at least a great part of it.
Dear production team, if any of you is reading this:
Just do what you did in season 1, it was perfect :) I few slight references will make us explode in joy, don't alter the show for us in any other way. - August 5, 2011 at 7:58 PM
- August 5, 2011 at 7:59 PM
- nathandash said...
more... brony type? hmm...... ((* thinks of all the stuff they could do*)) ((*gets idea!*)) no that would never work.
sigh. i wish they would have like a MLP FiM movie that says like: FOR BRONIES NOT KIDS! and was a amazing movie based off final fantasy or something. imagian that! that'd be awesome. - August 5, 2011 at 7:59 PM
- Benschachar said...
This sums up my opinion as well.
I want Celestia to stay the mischievious mentor she was in the first season rather than become the largely ironic Trollestia.
Derpy still works and maybe they can give Octavia a cameo here and there but nothing else. - August 5, 2011 at 7:59 PM
You know what I think it's gunna be? More silly shenanigan shtick from the scooby doo era.
- August 5, 2011 at 8:02 PM
- Sandman said...
@Anonymous Do not forget, Hasbro has final say in all matters. Many a time companies have shot themselves in the foot trying to please audiences.
I have all the confidence in the world in the writers, it's corporate that worries me.
Plus, this is the comment section, which is meant for the stating of opinions, hopes, and fears. - August 5, 2011 at 8:03 PM
Something like Dr. Whooves walking into a small nondescript blue shack in the background somewhere would fill me with so much joy.
- August 5, 2011 at 8:05 PM
- TGPFluttershy said...
As long as they don't let it completely overrun the show and keep it to a simple nod it should be fine.
I still find it incredible how connected the production and the fandom are! - August 5, 2011 at 8:07 PM
- Octavia said...
Yes, I have. Watched it pretty often back in it's hay day. But Animaniacs was designed to be for a slightly older audience too. And by another studio.
As for sneaking stuff in. You gotta be very careful about what you put in. It has to be able to be passable for younger kids. So it can't be anything too obvious. And of course Hasbro has say as well what gets in. - August 5, 2011 at 8:08 PM
- NinesTempest said...
This will be an odd sentence out of context but...
"Why did I have to be 20 the year Friendship is Magic comes out?" - August 5, 2011 at 8:10 PM
I'm pretty sure everyone is speaking hypothetically, no one is doubting the writers here. - August 5, 2011 at 8:15 PM
- DareDreamer said...
I apologize for the caps. This anticipation is killing me like nothing before. How long must we wait!? Argh! DX - August 5, 2011 at 8:15 PM
- Octavia said...
How long must you wait? Well, I think you know the answer to that.
"Forever!" lol - August 5, 2011 at 8:20 PM
As long as it's subtle stuff and not horribly obvious jokes, I'm ok with it.
- August 5, 2011 at 8:23 PM
I agree. Outright fanservice will ruin the show. Just like how Marvel/DC superhero comics are often such that hardcore fans can enjoy them. Keep the show the same way it is now. A fraction of a second with a non-talking derpy in the background is good enough for me.
- August 5, 2011 at 8:26 PM
Everyone enjoyed season 1 correct? Those same writers are writing for season 2. I say we should trust the writers. Everything will be okay.....and if it's not, blame it on 2012.
- August 5, 2011 at 8:27 PM
- Josh said...
I'm cool with little easter eggs and Derpy, but I hope they don't go overboard. Remember what drew us to this show in the first place.
- August 5, 2011 at 8:47 PM
- eaglehooves said...
To repeat what everypony has already said, as long as it's subtle nods, like Derpy, Dr. Whooves, and Lyra, and not blatant fanservice, I'll be a very happy pony. As Jayson is familiar with EqD and the community, and seems to know how to keep the fans happy, I don't think we have much to fear.
With that said, this steady trickle of vague news is doing a great job of creating excitement, whether it was meant to or not. The way it's been going I won't be able to get my wings flat again till season two finally airs.
Sorry if this is a double post, my iPod wasn't playing nice with the comments. I think I fixed it, if you can read this, fifth time's a charm. - August 5, 2011 at 8:47 PM

Derpy delivering mail or being with Dinky, that's all anyone really needs.

I'll imagine them as being one and the same regardless, so...sure. XD - August 5, 2011 at 9:00 PM
I'd squeal like a giddy schoolgirl if Vinyl Scratch was referred to as DJ pon-3.
- August 5, 2011 at 9:14 PM
- starfox64x said...
I'm imagining there being a small blue box in the background with Dr Whooves heading toward it.... the camera cuts to someone else, then back... and then the box is GONE... That is what I want to see...
- August 5, 2011 at 9:14 PM
- DcmRulz said...
Whooves with an english accent, Derpy/Ditzy with lines (and being the mailpony), Lyra and Bon-Bon being named Lyra and Bon-Bon, Vinyl Scratch getting the alias DJ Pon-3, some more trolling Celestia, and hopefully (in S3), split seasons (13 eps per 1/2 seasons, like some cable shows), so there's a break in between (and less of a gigantic gap between seasons)
- August 5, 2011 at 9:23 PM
- Tylendal said...
Hey, I'd squeal like a giddy schoolgirl if Vinyl Scratch was referred to at all.
I can see myself drawing attention when I out of nowhere scream "YES! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PUT THAT IN THERE!" and people will stare at me funny, and I'll tell them I'm watching the latest episode of My Little Pony. - August 5, 2011 at 9:26 PM
- IkusaGT said...
Given the experience of those on the show staff, from the writers to the Storyboard artists etc. We should have the utmost confidence in them. I don't think they will shy away from the formula that has brought them success. All we can do is wait it makes no sense to doom the show after news such as this.
- August 5, 2011 at 9:33 PM
Hey Sethisto, are you keeping your real name a secret? I saw in an interview your real name (which is **CENSORED**) and you have never seemed to mention it.
- August 5, 2011 at 9:38 PM
Well like many people have said little hidden Easter eggs would be best and are probably what we will get. Little things hidden in the background that are easy to miss during a casual viewing but obsest fans will find. If you are a Brony you will catch it, but if not you wont be sitting there scratching your head trying to figure out what was the joke.
What I don't want to see are lots of obvious pop culture references like Animaniacs or Family Guy. Although I liked Animaniacs, It and other shows and movies that rely heavily on pop culture references for their comedy become dated very quickly. They also rely entirely on the reference to BE the joke, which after seeing it done so many times has become boring.
One of the things I like about MLP:FiM is that when they do make a reference to something it is done subtle and/or part of an already existing joke. If you get it you get it. If you don't, it does not detract from the scene because you do not realize that something was being reference in the first place. They also proved that you do not need "adult" humor to entertain older audiences. - August 5, 2011 at 10:00 PM

This is just like Art of the Dress. Everypony has an opinion!!

Dear Celestia above, if Nyx was in an episode. You do not know the caliber of fuck I would give.
- August 5, 2011 at 11:36 PM
- shaunr said...
i am actually the person who sent him the message. sethisto said he'd post the picture, so i came here to see the comment and it seems like it caused a lot of new speculation. Hopefully he does that teaser video!! i should have asked if he could give any info on the release date!
- August 6, 2011 at 1:12 AM
Man, I really hope there won't be any Brony bullshit in the s02.
I asked Jayson back then about that and he said:
I hope Derpy will be the only addition. Only and one. Otherwise, show will be ruined forever for me. - August 6, 2011 at 1:22 AM
- InfinityDash said...
I think this is great news. I really don't think we have anything to worry about regarding fanservice - this is one of Hasbro's major brands we're talking about and I'm sure they would not be OK with suddenly sticking in a bunch of blatant brony stuff. I'm sure it will be background stuff and occasional references. The heart of the show will stay the same.
- August 6, 2011 at 1:50 AM
Well, then I hope you're prepared to have the show ruined forever for you because let's be honest; the creators of the show visit this site. They are almost DEFINITELY going to references to more than JUST Derpy. If you strictly mean blatant show changing changes, I can relate. But for them to NOT throw in other references in the BG or the like, I just don't see it happening. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. So be it. I'm just saying, and this applies to everyone, lower your bar just a tiny bit. That way, if it's not godly like you all are expecting, you won't be as disappointed and will still likely enjoy the show. The lower the fall, the less it hurts. Why not just be glad they are actually making a second season?
TL;DR: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. - August 6, 2011 at 2:13 AM
I think that we'll find out more about the Royal Family. Luna and Celestia's parents, maybe aunts and/or uncles. Maybe some cousins or some other relatives. Other princesses perhaps? That seems to be the highest rank in Equestria, after all.
I think there will be some more of just why Twilight is who she is and why Celestia has such an interest in her. I'll laught if at the end of season 2 Celestia dies and she anoints Twilight Sparkle as the new princess of Equestria much to Luna's dismay. :p - August 6, 2011 at 2:36 AM
We sure are a community made of Irony..
We watch a show aimed mostly at little girls
We complain when a second season will be targeted to thank us.
Anon's right. We just need to be very supportive of the show. That's what a fan is for right?
But if you think about it... We do have standards. and that's what separates us from the common riffraff. we like the show cause IT IS GOOD, not because our neigh-bor thinks it is. we are not just a hivemind, we are the HERD! - August 6, 2011 at 2:42 AM
- Corey Ledoux said...
i want to see an episode featuring Octavia, vinyl scratch, Derpy and the like as the main characters
- August 6, 2011 at 3:08 AM
- KoshLovesYou said...
Hopefully Sethisto will snap a few screencaps if /co/ gets a good thread going from any brony references in-show. I'm so busy, I hardly even get to throw up my god awful doodles there anymore.
- August 6, 2011 at 4:33 AM
Just Lyra and Bon Bon together whenever possible, plx.
- August 6, 2011 at 5:02 AM
- Alex said...
Why ask for anything to be changed about the show? Look at the massive brony community that formed from the first season without deliberate nods to an older audience. The show doesn't need to pander to an older audience. People saying they'd like to see Dr. Whooves next to a tardis in the show...wouldn't that be stupid, if you think about it? On the one hand it'd be a cheeky reference, yes, but the fact is that the fans are already aware that the character looks like Dr. Who. They don't need to the show to acknowledge it by shoving it in people's faces. Fans came up with Dr. Whooves, not the show creators. They shouldn't change the character, or give him a British voice or anything; it would ruin the novelty.
Be happy that the show is running for a second season. MLP in the past has rarely lasted that long. But don't wish for easter eggs or anything - just ask yourself: is it necessary? No. It would detract from the seriousness of the show if these references became too obvious. - August 6, 2011 at 5:45 AM
>Show gets unexpected, large fringe demographic
>Production team wants to add in elements that appeal to their large fringe demographic
>Everyone assumes it'll be blatant and stupid, because obviously subtlety doesn't exist
Cut that out, you all sound ridiculous. - August 6, 2011 at 9:37 AM
Uh, yeaaahh, guys. Be happy they're sneaking in a couple references for you. :( It's nothing that would ever change the show in the long run, I'm sure of it.
My 5 year old cousin won't notice any difference in the main plot of any episode from a couple cute things they do for us, why would we?
Earth to everypony, if anything we should be happy about this. We know they're going to handle it well, they've told us more then once they're being careful.
In fact, you should be happy for how much they acknowledge us! This fanbase is so lucky. - August 6, 2011 at 10:22 AM
I'd love a few Easter eggs for us bronies to frenzy over. Another Derpy moment, a Vinyl Scratch moment, maybe even a Lyra/Bon-Bon moment? It would actually be pretty easy to do.
And to you people who are ranting about how this might change the show, news flash; it won't. The ten-second brony moments aren't going to ruin it's purity at all, the animators are too cool to do that to us. Just sit back, relax, and let the season 2 countdown. - August 6, 2011 at 10:45 AM
I have complete confidence in them that whatever they decide to do with Season 2 they will do right, otherwise they wouldn't try to do it in the first place.

All I'd need was doctor whooves, running around in the background with a sonic screwdriver being chased by Derpy...that'd just tickle me pink.
- August 6, 2011 at 12:09 PM
That guy's name is almost spelled the same way as mine, it just has eight less 'n's. I feel honoured...
- August 6, 2011 at 1:41 PM
@Anonymous Her canon name is alread DJ P0N-3, though. Vinyl Scratch is just the name /b/ gave her.
- August 6, 2011 at 5:54 PM
Actually, both "Vinyl Scratch" and "DJ P0N-3" are fan-given names. "DJ P0N-3" was just acknowledged in The Hub's promo video; it's not technically show canon (yet). - August 6, 2011 at 6:40 PM
- Vermillion Twilight said...
You hear so many mentions and comparisons of FiM to Animaniacs, but while FiM is good-natured and celebrates it's audience, Animaniacs was fairly mean spirited and actively derided fan communities in general. To me it seemed like the animators thought they were better than their audience, but with FiM it feels like the animators were the first true fans of the show and "we" just came along afterwards. The inmates are now running the asylum, and madness is magic.
*puts on a`nice white jacket they gave me to hug myself with* - August 6, 2011 at 8:28 PM
I just hope it's still popular with the target demographic. If they lose that Hasbro will pull the the plug faster than you can say Twilight Sparkle.
- August 7, 2011 at 10:41 PM
I'd love to get a few more jokes and references for the older crowds. As long as they don't change the show around much, I see no problem. Besides, they know how bad fanservice can get, and he didn't say it would be targeted towards bronies: he just said "eeeyyyuup" after the guy asked if it's better than season 1.
- August 8, 2011 at 5:15 AM

Please for the love of all that is good, please let it be Nyx in a background shot.
- August 10, 2011 at 4:38 AM
It does seem that some people are getting just a bit overly paranoid about this. They worked hard to make sure that everything was good for Season 1, so we just need faith for season 2.
Really all I need would be more slightly mischevious Celestia, Vinyl Scratch, Derpy, and Luna(possibly wearing socks). - August 11, 2011 at 1:53 PM

Keep in mind that the last episode of the season has already been storyboarded; storyboarding has been happening as early as March already. I don't think the socks meme thing will show up this season yet, nor do I expect fanfic characters.
Here is my guess: the nods will likely just be really cute things in the background. Someone watching the show without any idea of the brony community will probably be amused just the same, but bronies will especially notice these things!
Think about what was popular in the fandom around April and earlier, when the scripts were likely being written.
We all know we'll see more of Derpy. I'd be happy if we see Derpy with muffins or delivering mail! I'm pretty sure we'll see more of Lyra and Bon-Bon together. Colgate brushing her mane or getting her mane and tail brushed. Colgate sporting a huge smile!
I'm hoping for Lyra in more weird poses, and more of Vinyl Scratch/DJ P0n-3. I dunno about Doctor Whooves, but it would be funny if they did something with him running around in the background. XP
Maybe Derpy eating all of Carrot Top's food.
If any of these make it into S2, I will squee and then die of HAPPY. - August 15, 2011 at 1:14 AM

Tough times for Hollywood's visual effects industry
AFPTVSizzling special effects are the selling point of some of Hollywood's biggest films, including "Iron Man 3," which this week broke $1 billion at the box office. But those profits still don't translate into success for the computer-graphic and effects firms behind the visuals, and who are struggling against rising global competition.Duration: 2:48

The No. 9 Bulldogs fell 5-4 to unranked Trinity to open the best two-of-three series in the AHSAA Class 3A state baseball finals at Paterson Field, committing multiple miscues to help the Wildcats build an early lead.
"I told them before the start of the game, 'Whoever makes the least mistakes and errors in a championship game, that's whose going to win the game,"' Piedmont coach James Blanchard said. "That's just a fact."
The Bulldogs (29-10-1), down one game to none, will have a chance to even the series today at 4 p.m. in Game 2 at Riverwalk Stadium. If necessary, Game 3 will start at 7 p.m.
The battery of blunders began early for the Bulldogs.
Starting pitcher Joel Ray walked the first three batters he faced but managed to get out of the inning unscathed when he got Trinity's William Stabler to hit into a double play and Will Holland to fly out to center.
The Bulldogs lost a one-run lead in the bottom of the second built on a sacrifice fly from Ray that scored Trevor Ford in the top of the first. That's when Trinity plated a pair of runners aided by two Piedmont errors, one fielding and one throwing, and could've done even more damage leaving three runners on base.
"It rattled me a little bit because I ain't never had trouble throwing strikes for real," Ray said of his early struggles. "I usually throw too many strikes. About the third inning I got back into it and got into my good groove."
Ray went all six inning for the Bulldogs, giving up four earned runs on nine hits. He walked five and struck out just as many while tallying 113 pitches.
Trinity (28-13), which played as the home team, tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the third. First centerfielder Chas Mitchell knocked in a pinch runner on an RBI single to right. Then, first baseman Brock Stevens brought in a runner on a high pop up that a Piedmont outfielder lost in the stadium's lights.
But Piedmont would rally late, beginning in the top of the sixth when Ray reached on an error by Trinity third baseman Hunter Chambliss. Chris Strott, the next batter up, doubled to move Ray to third. After Collin Bradley popped out, Matthew Strott singled to bring in Ray to make the score 4-3 in favor of the Wildcats with one out.
That forced Trinity coach Ken Whittle to yank starter Tatum Dean and come with Stevens, the Wildcats' closer.
Dean gave up three runs, one earned, on six hits in 5 1/3 innings of work.
"It was a great opportunity again. We felt like we had to go to Brock a littler earlier than we had last time (in the semifinals against Montevallo)," Trinity coach Ken Whittle said. "
Trinity's Trace Johnson hit a high-arching ball over a shallow right field for a double that scored Chambliss to give the Wildcats a 5-3 lead.
Trevor Ford hit a standup double on hard-hit ball to left with one out in the seventh.
Then, after Landon Pruitt popped out, Ray pulled a 3-2 pitch to right field and raced to a triple that brought in Ford to make the score 5-4.
"It was just a pitch I love," Ray said. "Middle of the way. I just hit it where it was pitched."
The comeback effort came to a halt when Chris Strott popped out to right field to end the game.
"The shoe's on the other foot now," Blanchard said. "We're used to playing and winning that first game. I challenged my guys after the game to get their heads up. We've got two more ball games."
Trevor Ford led Piedmont at the plate, going 2-for-4. Stevens and Chambliss were 2-for-3 for Trinity.

With downloads now officially outselling all other singles formats, it would seem the time is ripe for internet-based labels like Protest and artists like The Sweet Chap to rise to the forefront of the music scene. I Like Music caught up with Mike Comber aka The Sweet Chap as he released his latest single Rummage.
"I Like Music because… it does something for me! It makes me feel electric and enables me to describe myself." The Sweet Chap
ILM: Your new single, Rummage was released online via Protest this week. Can you give us your own personal description of it?
Sweet Chap: It's a song about frustration for me; frustration in a relationship when people get really petty with each other over a period of time when you've been together for a long time, and have a go at each other over such minute things. It's just that frustration and boredom about being in a relationship, and seeing other people in that kind of relationship and it's quite hard to watch. And everyone's been there.
ILM: Of all the Disco For Domestic tracks, which one did you have the most fun making?
Sweet Chap: Probably my most favourite is Delicate. It's one of the saddest songs on there. I just got it and it felt nice when I was singing it; it felt like the mood I was trying to portray came across really well, and it really meant something to me. Even though it's probably the most ambiguous song out of all of them (they're all quite ambiguous and I want to keep it like that), but the lyrics just came out and it just felt right everything about it; whatever it's about I don't know, so it was very satisfactory creatively.
ILM: What piece of music hardware or software could you not live without?
Sweet Chap: Logic and a computer. This album was recorded on a PC that I built complete, not being a nerd, but I got this old PC and built it up and the software I use on it is Logic. In terms of writing if you're a writer, you need a keyboard and my favourite keyboard is a Korg MX 2000, that's one of my babies. It's really old with models' analogue keyboards from the 70s, so it's great, it's fat, its thick and great for synth bass which I love as well.
ILM: Brighton has influenced you notably, what's the best and worst thing about Brighton?
Sweet Chap: Brighton is very good to grow up in; once you're in your early twenties the social life there is incredible, and you learn so much… you learn about the dark side of life, going out and getting drunk and going to clubs and meeting people. So the social life is incredible and brilliant, but I also think it's quite a false place and can be quite pretentious. I think it's changed a lot and so many people move in and move out. But when I was young there was a really crusty period, where you had dreads coming down and playing bongos on the beach, but they disappeared after a while, and there was another new group. But at the moment I think it's quite pretentious. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it's got a lot of style and vision, but I'm not sure how deep it goes after that really. But the live music scene is getting a lot better than it was, so that's fantastic. There's such a big DJ movement there too. Everyone's a DJ in Brighton. You'll ask people what they do and they're like, 'I'm a DJ'. But being a musician it's quite nice that people are getting more into their bands.
ILM: It's been said, and I agree, that it's like "eavesdropping in on a private musical conversation between man and his mind." Can you describe the Sweet Chap process of making such beautiful evocative music?
Sweet Chap: Well it all starts off with an acoustic guitar. I call myself a singer/songwriter, but also a producer/performer. I start off with a riff in my head and then I need to intensify it, I need to be eccentric, because that's how I feel about music, it has to be eccentric and slightly insane, and the only way I can get that and express myself in that way is to use electronic music: samples, beats, synths and synthetic sounds. I just love it and that really signifies how I'm feeling and expresses my emotions. So I concoct that together and often juxtapose sweet music against quite abrupt music and that's how it forms. I might play a simple riff on the guitar and think how can I create that electronically, and you can get a really nice end result, and I like doing that. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But it's great to get creative in that way.
ILM: What's your current favourite song to play live?
Sweet Chap: I love them all, I really do. We're playing some new songs that are really refreshing and aren't even on that album. But from Disco For A Domestic… Rummage, we love playing that. It's a serious song, quite sad and downbeat. But it's nice and we really put our hearts and souls into playing it. And Superman Three, that's one of my favourite to play out live. It's just so lazy.
ILM: What's your favourite live experience as a punter?
Sweet Chap: I see so many good bands. But Radiohead in Fife when I was about 18 just blew me away, that was a brilliant experience. To see a band that just blew me away live was fantastic. They're such a good band and they're a big influence. And Elliot Smith, we saw him about a year before he killed himself, and I've always been a big fan of him as a singer/songwriter. That was great to see him, he was brilliant live.
ILM: In 2004 you partnered with Kazaa and 50,000 people downloaded your Disco For A Domestic album, how did that come about?
Sweet Chap: We approached them, me and my management company. We saw the Internet format of getting your music heard, and we liaised with Kazaa and it got on the site and people downloaded it for free. I believe some music should be free to a certain extent, as a kid I would often record music onto tape, but it didn't stop me going out and buying the album, so there's a free culture of music. I was amazed and really happy that people had downloaded the songs from all over the world. So we definitely wanted to be part of the Internet as a way to distribute songs. It's really exciting to be on an Internet-based record label (Protest Recordings). You don't just have to release an album how it's recognised at the moment, as a collection of songs on a CD. You can change it on the Internet, you can release three songs now and then three songs a while later and still release an album. Also, if you're an artist and you've got a song you can release it over the Internet straight away, so creatively it's brilliant.
ILM: What advice do you have for young musicians trying to get into the industry?
Sweet Chap: You've got to be strong at first. If you know you're a good enough writer and believe in yourself and others do, then get your CDs out there and get a manager, that's really important. Everyone needs a manager,. All the admin stuff can kill the creative side for an artist, so you get someone who's interested in managing the business side, that's a big thing. So get a good manager and take it from there.
ILM: Novelty Mouse Mat is about a workaholic (such as myself). How do you relax?
Sweet Chap: I'll be honest, I go to the pub. That's my favourite place and I go down to Brighton a lot. I've got a ten year old daughter, so I go down there a lot and look after her. Well, she looks after me. It's the nature of the job that there's a lot of drinking and going out at gigs, so it can get a over the top sometimes, and she's the stability that I need.
ILM: Can you describe your favourite place on earth?
Sweet Chap: The New Forest, Hampshire.
ILM: What is in your CD player right now?
Sweet Chap: I'm quite into I Am Kloot at the moment actually. I saw them at Glastonbury and they're a really great band. I've just finished listening to Gods Are Monsters, and it's a really good album. And a bit of Muse as well. They blow me away live. Really influenced by the way they play, they're such a good band, such good musicians, he can sing really well, great guitarist and pianist, great songwriters. Really energetic and quite fierce as well.
ILM: Please tell me your favourite tune that makes you chill out.
Sweet Chap: A Tom Waits song on his second album, The Ghost Of Saturday Night, it's called The Heart Of Saturday Night and is such a beautiful piece of music; really free. It's about a guy who goes out on a Saturday night and tries to have a good time and ends up laying in the gutter somewhere really drunk, and he hasn't had a good night, but that's just typical, trying to go out and have a good time.
ILM: Future plans?
Sweet Chap: It's really exciting. Rummage might be the last single, because we've got the album coming out, but I've got a backlog of new material that's at demo stage now, so we're looking to properly take these down to the studio and really beef them up, so we're looking forward to starting releasing the new stuff off that with Protest. That's going to be fantastic.

The purpose of the First Lady's READ20 Book Club is to give Tennessee families a fun goal of reading together with their children for 20 minutes every day. One book will be selected each month as the featured "Book of the Month," but we encourage you to continue reading other books after you've finished our featured book.
The book club is for children and families of all ages! Whether a fifth grader reading independently, or a younger child being read to by an adult or older sibling, the featured books will appeal to a broad group of elementary-aged children and their families.
By Jerry Spinelli
Mongoose, Brenda, Sonseray, and April have nothing in common...until a mysterious blue card appears as if by magic and begins to change each of their lives. None of them guesses it at first, but that strange blue card will be their ticket to the past—and to a future that they never imagined. In stories that range from humorous to heartbreaking, Newbery-award-winner Jerry Spinelli reveals the amazing possibilities lurking behind library doors.
Does your family have a library card? If not, then be sure to visit your local public library to apply for a free library card. Most libraries require that you have a photo ID and proof of local address, so be sure to check your library's application instructions (http://www.publiclibraries.com/tennessee.htm) before your visit! You can use your card to borrow books and DVDs, use a computer, download eBooks and music, search electronic databases, browse the internet and more.
Spinelli's The Library Card shows us that books can change lives in powerful ways by sharing knowledge and growing imagination. Describe how the library card changes each of the four main characters in the book. How do books affect their lives immediately? How do you think their lives will be affected in the longer-term future?
Create a mystical library card of your own, and write a short story about where and with whom your card ends up. Be sure to include how the library card might change the life of the person who discovers it!
Visit your local library (http://www.publiclibraries.com/tennessee.htm) to find out more about its summer reading program. This year's statewide summer reading theme for children is "Dig into Reading." Many libraries have fun activities planned for families throughout the summer that you will not want to miss! Be sure to check out a book or two while you are there to enjoy with your family at home.
Reading is the basic tool for success in school, work, and life and must be promoted early in childhood. The First Lady's READ20 Book Club encourages Tennessee children and families to read aloud each day to help young children develop a larger vocabulary, a longer attention span, better listening skills, and a solid reading foundation. Reading together will also build stronger relationships and will be fun.
Research demonstrates that reading with a child during the preschool years has a ripple effect which positively impacts the child, the family, the schools, and society as a whole through increased economic development, reduced special education, and reduced criminal justice costs.

A Woman's search for her missing cat ended after she found he had been trapped, taken to the Humane Society and euthanized.
The Humane Society is upset with what happened and say they didn't mean to euthanize someone's pet.
They say because of a lack of funding they cannot take in every animal they are brought.
Apparent "cat traps" have been set up in the neighborhoods, which are legal, however the owner of this cat wasn't aware they were there.
"I think it's absolutely horrific they're catching people's pets, they caught my pet," says Emily Coulter.
Coulter went looking for her cat, Biscuit almost two weeks ago.
"I fed him and he went outside, it had been a few days so I got worried," she says.
After posting missing signs and making several phone calls she found Biscuit, but it was too late.
"He was brought in a cat trap from the 800 block of Magnolia and was euthanized, almost immediately, at the Humane Society without being taken out of the trap," she says.
Officials at the Humane Society say when Biscuit came in he wasn't tagged or micro-chipped to show ownership, but Coulter says he was neutered.
"Why couldn't you give him a minute, just a minute to calm down?," she says.
Lori Hare, Executive Director at the Humane Society says because of a lack of funding and room, they can't take in every animal, but she says they're upset about what happened to Biscuit.
"There's no worse feeling than putting down an animal just because there's not a cage for it to go into, or there aren't enough homes. When you're full and on a good adoption day you have 2 to 3 adoptions," says Hare.
State law says shelters must wait 5 days before euthanizing dogs, however no such law is in effect for cats.
Hare says when animals come in they check for ownership.
She says they've had to shut down their Facebook page after several threats from people in the community.
None of these people are in relationship to Coulter.
"Even on our home phones of threats, and the really sad part about that is we never wanted this to happen," she says.
For Coulter nothing will bring Biscuit back, but she asks the Humane Society and other shelters to slow down before an animal's life is taken.
"Just give them a minute to calm down when they are scared and in the cage, and just give them a minute to be found," says Coulter.
Hare says they receive 20 to 30 animals a day, and the overcrowding problem will continue unless people spay and neuter their pets.
Hare even talked about getting funding to make micro-chipping free to the community in honor of Biscuit.

Mark White - Head Men's Basketball Coach |
Having engineered a total transformation of the Lions' basketball program since joining EMCC's athletic family in 2007, Mark White begins his sixth year as the head men's basketball coach at East Mississippi Community College. Since moving south to the Scooba campus from nearby Mississippi State University five years ago, White has steadily taken the EMCC men's basketball program to unprecedented heights. Inheriting a once-struggling hoops program, White has methodically turned around the Lions' basketball fortunes with significant year-to-year improvement on the court. Following a six-win enhancement between his first and second seasons (11-14 in 2007-08 to 17-11 the next year) at the EMCC helm, White's Lions have since moved to the upper echelon of the NJCAA's Division I basketball programs with a subsequent three-year composite record of 75-18 (.806) and three consecutive NJCAA Tournament appearances dating back to the 2009-10 hoops campaign. Also with a current string of three straight Top 15 season-ending NJCAA national rankings to their credit, the Lions' ongoing run of three consecutive trips to Hutchinson, Kan., for the NJCAA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship have come on the strength of back-to-back-to-back NJCAA Region 23 Tournament titles. Going hand-in-hand with EMCC's ascension among the national ranks, the Lions have also claimed three consecutive MACJC North Division regular-season championships in dominant fashion with a three-year composite league mark of 33-3 (.917) over the past three seasons. On the heels of an official 12-0 division record two years ago with the aid of a road forfeit by Mississippi Delta, last year's EMCC squad was unbeaten in league play until falling on the road to Coahoma to close out the regular season. Three seasons ago, the Lions were 10-2 within the division and went on to earn state runner-up honors to Pearl River in the EMCC-hosted 2010 MACJC State Basketball Tournament. Riding successive overall records of 23-6 last season, 25-5 two years ago and 27-7 in 2009-10, White eclipsed the century mark for career coaching wins a year ago and now owns a composite five-year EMCC coaching mark of 103-43 (.705). Along with having collected NJCAA District 15 and NJCAA Region 23 Coach of the Year honors each of the last three years, White was also tabbed by his coaching peers as the 2010-11 Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) State Coach of the Year in addition to earning recognition that same year from the Mississippi Association of Coaches. White has mentored four NJCAA All-Americans during his EMCC coaching stint. Most recently, 2011-12 NJCAA All-Americans Colin Borchert and D.J. Evans headlined an eight-man sophomore class for the Lions that all signed with four-year schools. With 22 years of coaching experience at various levels of competition around the country, White is certainly no stranger to regular-season success and postseason tournament play. During five years (2003-07) as an assistant coach under Rick Stansbury, White was a part of MSU teams that made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and an NIT semifinal-round showing. Before rejoining the NCAA Division I coaching ranks in 2002, White's first job as a head coach came during two years as the head boys' basketball coach and special education instructor at Central Hardin High School in Cecilia, Ky. White's previous 10-year involvement with the junior college ranks was capped by a successful four-year stint (1996-2000) as an assistant coach at North Idaho College. The 1996-97 NIC Cardinals posted a 30-6 record and collected a school-best, fourth-place national finish at the 1997 NJCAA Tournament. A long-time association with veteran junior college head coach Patrick Smith preceded White's move to Idaho. During back-to-back seasons under Smith, White first served as an assistant coach at Barton County (Kan.) Community College before the coaching tandem moved together to Jacksonville (Texas) College. Before a one-year stay as an assistant coach at Georgia Southern University, White began his coaching affiliation with Smith at Wabash Valley (Ill.) College during the 1992-93 season. White earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Austin Peay State University, where he served as a graduate assistant and volunteer assistant coach for the Governors. White's first full-time coaching job came as a two-year (1990-92) assistant coach at Pikeville (Ky.) College. A native of Russellville, Ky., White has a 13-year-old son, Cade, and a 4-year-old daughter, Kennedy Grier. |

The Colonels (1-0-1) started out the season on a high note by blanking Spring Hill 5-0 to record their first season-opening win since 2008.
Freshman Kristy Tatom had an impressive debut against the Badgers, scoring two goals while also dishing out two assists. After the first weekend of play, Tatom is currently tied for first in the Southland Conference with six points.
On Sunday against ULM, sophomore Alexandra Marino scored her first goal of the season to give the Colonels an early lead, but the Warhawks knotted the score at 1-1 en route to a double overtime draw.
Senior goalkeeper Molly Mersereau is currently tied for first in the SLC with a .800 save percentage. After stopping the only shot on goal against SHC, Mersereau had three saves on Sunday against ULM.
Lipscomb (0-1-1) will be vying for its first win of the early season after tying Arkansas State 1-1 in its opener, thanks to a penalty kick goal from senior Meghan McGuire. On Sunday, the Lady Bisons dropped a 1-0 decision to the SLC's Central Arkansas.
Lipscomb's game against Nicholls will be the first matchup in the programs' histories, and will complete a three-game homestand for the Lady Bison.

I've been an atheist in one form or another for a long time. 'I'm a lot mellower now than I used to be and I've become more accepting of religion.
I'm interested in the topic of empathy. Empathy is something that the religious display very well. Jesus is the perfect model for empathy. He loves you no matter what,
I wonder about empathy in the secular community and how well we model it...
Anyway ... I'm looking forward to joining in.
Welcome to TA!
I am curious how you conclude that the religious and/or Christianity are in any way empathetic, especially to non believers? Is hell-fire, commanded sacrifice and genocide, or turning people to stone equivalent to the golden rule? Would you kill an out-of-season fig tree? I feel many atheists exhibit empathy at a much higher level just because he or she is not expecting supernatural forgiveness. Righteousness and empathy seem to be in opposition.Worship me, or suffer. Sounds like slavery.
Hi Robert
I rekon forget that hardine approach .... Mainstream churchgoers dont have a clue about that stuff. They just hear it as 'noisy chatter' and go deaf on you.
Most mainstream godbots want to save you from hellfire .... Thats empathy.
The intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
Nothing to do with wanting to "save" anyone.The fact that they will continue to pester you to accept their imaginary friend, and that they will threaten you with hell because your feelings, beliefs and ideas do not go hand in hand with theirs is not empathy. If they understood how you feel, and accepted you for it regardless of how it makes them feel, then the would be empathic.
Trying to force you into "salvation" is their way of sucking up to Yahweh and Jesus and making themselves seem pious and righteous. Nothing to do with understanding and relating to the emotions of others.
Very good point Milos. One that I can not only second but could augment with more of the same and worse about the behavior of god-botherers. They are not empathetic at all; they are members of a ruthless, power-mad mob.
Oh, by the way, I had to highlight your post to read it. I don't know if that is the purpose of your font choices, but they do make your posts harder to read.
Hi Angela, welcome to TA. I love your picture. I'm interested in the subject of empathy too. It seems to be a fundamental requirement of morality - understanding the point of view, experience and emotional/mental state of another. Here are some books and associated links I have found useful, I don't know if you've seen these.
"Born for Love – why empathy is essential – and endangered", by Maia Szalavitz and Bruce D Perry MD PhD
"Transforming the Mind – Eight verses on generating compassion and transforming your life", by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"Wild Justice – The Moral Lives of Animals", by Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce
"Super cooperators – Altruism, evolution, and why we need each other to succeed", by Martin A Nowak
It's said that empathy can't be learned, but it can be "caught", ie. learned by example. I agree with this, as the thing you are trying to learn, is the other person. It's a skill rather than a set of facts. What do you think? How can an unempathic person learn to have empathy? This is important I think. A little knowledge goes a long way, that's for sure. There are a few certain key skills required.
Hi Simon .. Thanks for your reply.
Empathy is a tricky thing isnt it? It requires that you become "other person centred".
Another interesting thing about it is that, you dont even really have to care ... you just need to know how to do it.
I'm happy that you are interested in it too Simon and I can see that you understand the concept of it.
I'll have a look at the links you provided and get back to this subject because its a very important one.
Jesus is marketed on the empathy model ...
"I'll pray for you" is an empathic response ..
The religious are way ahead on this one ...
"... you dont even really have to care ... you just need to know how to do it."
I have a friend who's an expert in it (manager-guru in Tesco's); for him it's a professional skill. He does care, and that's probably part of his secret. He always just tells me to "have more empathy" which isn't very helpful. From watching him, I've learned it comes down to asking questions and really looking at and listening to the other person and trying to put yourself in their shoes. And guess what? I've got much better at it. "People" becomes a subject of learning like any other.
Try the Baron-Cohen Empathy Quotient Test and let me now how you go ....
Thanks, I'll look into it.
If you think that everyone would like it, maybe you could post the tests on the board. Might be fun ...
Lets see how many Narcissists are lurking ... lol
It's one thing to "act empathic", and another to actually BE empathic.
The religious are way ahead on this one ...
You would expect empathy to reduce your propensity to commit crimes against other people. The number of atheists in jail very disproportional to the general population. According to the US Bureau of Prison Statistics, 0.2% of the prison population were atheists, while ~76% were Christians.
You would also expect that at the very least an empathic priest of jesus would not commit child abuse, but we know that is not the case. Even the Pope is not beyond suspicion. Religious are "God's Chosen People". Religion is all about exclusion. They empathy they preach is false.
Empathy does reduce the propensity for crime and cruelty if its used.
Not all people know what it is. That goes for the religious and non-religious.
Many people would call themselves empathic but if questioned, they would have trouble defining it.
Its hard
"What would Jesus Do" is a good catch phrase .. lol
Dont Be an Asshole is another one ...

Several weeks, or maybe even months, ago, there was a newsletter that had a tutorial in it that showed us how to make it seem as though our ribbons were wrapped around the edges of things, i.e., frames, pages, etc. I always copy and paste in a word document and print for referring to later, and now that I need it, I can't find it (typical eh?). Does anyone have the link to that newsletter or those specific instructions you can forward to me? I would really appreciate it...... email is firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com. Either one I'd receive it. I'd be so grateful!

Winter 2011/12 Chat Thread What'll it be then?

Which brings me to my next point. I had a read of your forecast in your blog; in particular this bit -
"My own thoughts are that we will see some cold and perhaps snowy weather, most likely in December and January, but that for most people it will be nowhere near as harsh as last winter. We could see more milder, stormier, conditions at times as well. In other words, a normal mix of normal weather"
I have to say Andy that this covers just about every possibility. Are you not yourself guilty of what was in fact your pointed comment about Jonathon Powell Loved the "normal mix of normal weather" at the end.
Well I wouldn't describe it as a forecast - and certainly wouldn't sell or advertise it as such. It's just a passing comment, as I often make in my blog. I don't do LRFs - just the weeky ones on UKww. But on the other hand my gut feeing was then (and remains) that this will not be a particularly special winter. Just a fairly bog standard normal one.
And whilst I think I was talking about the possibility of a drought for 2012 months ago But I'l never seriously claim I predicted it.
btw the point of the particular page is to get many of the talked about LRFs together in one place so that afterwards it's easy to look back and see what people were predicting at the time, rather than relying on what they claim they predict. And if James Madden or PWS or PC got it very close, I would applaud them for making a good guess
For winter 2010/11 see here (and yes, as it goes, I was wrong)

If you go out on a limb (bit like investing in a high risk stock market company) the rewards are great if you get it right.
Conversely, if you stick to a rather safe forecast that covers a multitude of possibilities then there is no essence Essan (Scuse the pun).
Our weather is unpredictable and clearly there are no indicators that can be relied upon for a reliable forecast.
Personally I think we should all give up and concentrate on the models a week or so ahead.

I think you're right
But as we know, some media outlets love publishing stories about LRFs - and indeed, moreso, a lot of, especially (younger) cold weather fans, crave LRFs (preferably predicting cold and snow) as well - so whilst the demand exists, someone will aways cater for it.
