And, the Winner of Patch's Best Halloween Costume in America Contest is...
The Pirate Carrying a Mermaid Optical Illusion has been named Patch's Best Halloween Costume in America. Its creator -- and wearer -- will receive a $5,000 prize for having the most creative and innovative costume.
Ashley Playford dressed up as a pirate carrying a mermaid this Halloween. Or, was she the actual mermaid? Her creativity has earned her recognition as having Patch's Best Halloween Costume in America and a $5,000 grand prize.
It was Playford's use of an optical illusion that won us over. Take a look at the photo she entered on Peekskill-Cortlandt Patch!
Almost 4,000 Patch users entered the contest from Oct. 15 to Nov. 5, with costumes ranging from the Eiffel Tower and Honey Boo Boo to a flower pot and a clever interpretation of "binders full of women."
National judges chose one finalist from each Patch state based on who had the most creative and innovative costume (we combined North Carolina & South Carolina for this contest, as well as Washington, DC, and Virginia). Each state finalist will receive $250. From those finalists, Playford was chosen as the grand prize winner.
Congratulations to Playford and to all the other statewide winners (check out our gallery for photos of all the finalists).

Cranbury Township Man, 27, Dies At I-195 Accident Scene After Being Ejected
Driver apparently lost control traveling eastbound, ended up in westbound lanes, police said.
A 27-year-old Cranbury Township man died from injuries he suffered after being ejected from his motor vehicle in a 10:48 a.m. accident on I-195 at the Jackson/Howell Township border today.
Carl Henninger was traveling eastbound in a Chevy Lumina when he apparently lost control, ran off the left side of the center median and struck another vehicle on the westbound side, State Police Spokesman Sgt. Adam Grossman said.
Henninger was pronounced deceased at the scene, said Grossman.
The driver of the vehicle struck by Henninger, Jennifer, Balka, 22, of Wall Township, was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune, with minor injuries, police said. No further information was available as to Balka's condition.
Balka was driving a Buick Century.
The accident occurred at milemaker 23.8.
All lanes on I-195 westbound east of exit 22 - CR 638 in Jackson Township near the exit for Route 9 in Howell Township were closed for approximately four hours during the accident investigation.
The incident wreaked havoc with traffic on Route 9 in Howell Township as well, eyewitnesses report.
Investigating are the Hamilton station NJ state trooper fatal accident team, along with the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office.

Carl!! I still cannot believe your gone! I thought you and my cousin were going to get married! I find myself questioning this. This can't be real. Carl, we'll miss you beyond words could ever explain. And the pain you left us all in. We'll see you one day. Save all of us a seat in heaven. Make sure you save a special seat for my cousin. We love you Carl Henninger! Rest in peace :(

Do you have any compassion? Are you writing a book?
9:59 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
.. Seatbelt could not have been worn if ejection occured.. I agree now is not the time to ask this.. I just wish everyone would always wear it.. Doesnt mean it will always save you but it does help a lot..
10:50 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
Its newsworthy to know if he was violating the law.
I don't have compassion to those who violate the law knowingly by not wearing seatbelts and get killed in accidents.
I've read about it soooo many times... when will people learn.
The girl had minor injuries for what appears to be a headon collision. Betcha she was wearing a seatbelt.
10:51 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
btw.. someone commented on another patch site and said they witnessed the entire thing.
He commented he was speeding and lost control.
So it is possible he broke 2 laws... no seatbelt and speeding.
7:51 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
I love you so much Carl! Ana is my sister and I always saw you as my brother in law. I am truly heart broken. You will be missed everyday. Ana loved you more then anything and she was your world. You were an amazing man. <3

yes this is a news forum ,so unless you have the facts you should not judge. you don't know what happened. god bless the families involved
11:54 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
Someone commented that they witnessed it.
He said he was speeding and lost control... that is a violation of law!!
I would like to know if seatbelts were worn... I agree with what someone said above, if he ejected he probably was not wearing seatbelts.
It appears to be a headon collision and the girl in the other car had minor injuries.. betcha she was wearing a seatbelt.
And yes, we can all judge or have opinions of those who break the law.. not just 1 law but 2 laws... speeding and seatbelt.

JD, that commenter also said the car was a Kia. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

JD don't point the finger and act like u don't do anything wrong, I don't know you although I'm sure u do something wrong in your life. "Don't throw stones if u live in a glass house."
8:50 am on Sunday, January 13, 2013
God Bless this young man and his family/friends. Regardless of the facts here, this road is one of the worst for people speeding. I don't understand what the hurry is.

I also drove past the scene, saw the man on ground.There were police and state tow trucks there.Why didn't someone have enough kindness to cover that poor man ?. My wife and pulled over feeling sick .Said a prayer for him and his loved ones.
10:39 am on Sunday, January 13, 2013
This is his brother and Carl was a great guy with a huge heart. I just want him to give all his loved ones the strength to move forward. Please rest in peace bro. I love you and thank you for all the great memories.
12:43 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
The best thing you and others can do is go out and promote seatbelt safety and obeying the speed limits. Kudos if you do.
Just like MADD... Mothers Against Drunk Drivers promote awareness of consequences of driving while drunk or DUI.
5:17 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
RTH, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family and loved ones. So sad.

My heart goes out to the Henninger family during their difficult loss. I do find it in poor taste to go on a rant about speeding or not using a seat belt at this time. Yes, we all know the rules of safety, but right now it's time to morn the loss of a young man's life, and pray for his family who are grieving.
12:47 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
JD give it a rest some people really feel bad about what happened you sound a little heartless with that at the moment

The news is a young man is dead and a family is suffering. Judge not least ye be judged... God bless these families
1:55 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
Carl we loved you so much!!! I hate that this happened to you. You will be missed so much! I remember the last time we spoke , you have me such soothing advice. You were always so good to my son LJ and we will both miss you so much!!!
3:01 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
JD i do agree taking situation and making it a life lesson but that being said i really cant tolerate ignorance the fact you said you do not feel compassion for someone who breaks the law is beyond words for me your words do not effect carl that beautiful person is at peace your words are just hurtfull to his family and friends really its not carls charector in question its yours carl was really loved and will be missed. maria
4:47 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
My heart goes out to the Henninger family, especially my dear friend and brother Ralph, we are deeply saddened by this tragic news! As for JD you heartless comments only serve to bring a swift and desisive slap in you face by charma, cause you too will feel charmas wrath as it will be upon your heartless sole soon, this disrespect you have directed to those of us grieving will not come without a price!

JD u are heartless. And so u kno this, a seatbelt can also take a life as quick as it can save one. Just like an airbag... airbag in my rsx has been disabled cuz I believe an airbag does more damage than good, especially on short ppl like myself. * my heart goes out to the family of Carl* every day that goes by from here is going to be hard. I pray u all keep a sound mind and console eachother's heart at this time oxoxox
9:15 am on Monday, January 14, 2013
The number one cause of death in motor vehicle accidents is ejection from the vehicle. Seatbelts are a must. Your second sentence is 100% inaccurate.
11:17 am on Monday, January 14, 2013
There have been deaths due to seatbelts.. and accidents caused by seatbelts. Coming off 195 on the ramps as u try to look for oncomin traffic the seatbelt locks and can't manuver enough to see behind to the left. Mirrors don't see everything
1:36 pm on Thursday, January 17, 2013
I think it is safe to say that for every injury or death caused by a seatbelt or airbag, there are far more lives saved.
As for the on-ramps themselves, it comes down more to the lack of courtesy and common sense of those already driving on the highway and those entering/exiting the highway.
2:46 pm on Monday, January 14, 2013
Carl you were a great friend and i think i speak for all when i say you will be missed. As for you jD just shut up.

Im verry sorry for your loss I was on 195 and I seen him laying there I cant imagine how the family feels just lookin at the scene just keeps re playing in my head my heart goes out to the family when I got home I gave my girlfriend a big hug and kiss many of us dont know how lucky we really are to make it home every day for me it was a huge wake up call and im verry thankfull when I walk through the door rip carl

My husband and I purchased appliances from Carl a few months back. I found out today that he passed. He was a good kid, I don't think he had a mean bone in his body. My deepest condolences to all that loved him, I will always remember him fondly.

Ten Rules For Fat Girls
This article makes my heart sing with happiness!
Here are the rules and some of my favorite bits.
1. You are not obligated to be thin, healthy, or pretty.
We also have this idea that our bodies are only worth their value to other people. Guess what? MY VALUE AS WOMAN IS NOT DEPENDENT ON WHETHER OR NOT MEN WANT TO FUCK ME.
2. Don't talk shit about your body.
A. Change the subject
B. Try to change people's minds by making body positive statements (only do this if you like to argue)
C. If you're totally stuck, entertain yourself: mentally replace words like "carbs" with "balls." It's way more fun to listen to people discuss good balls versus bad balls and whether or not they're getting enough balls.
3. Don't talk shit about other people's bodies.
Just like people don't know anything about your health or history by the size of your body, you don't know what a thin person has dealt with in her life either.
4. Wear clothes that fit.
It's hard to be confident when you're constantly yanking a wedgie.
5. Demand better treatment from healthcare professionals.
You deserve respect and attention from your healthcare professionals regardless of your size. Don't accept abuse and condescension. And certainly don't pay for it.
6. Find a way to move.
Just don't go into it expecting to lose weight. Move to enjoy life more.
7. Stand up for yourself.
Powerful women scare the hell out of weak-minded dickweasels.
8. Deal with your fat.
Often because we are heirs to such body shame, we avoid getting to know our flesh, so when something does go wrong we don't realize it until it's really serious.
9. There are worse things in the world than being fat.
Hating yourself is pretty damn awful too. Trust me, it's way worse than being fat.
10. Don't expect to feel awesome about yourself every single day forever.
Tell yourself you are loved – because you are, I promise – and accepted exactly as you are no matter what, and that even if you're not strong enough to believe it every day, it's still true, and that truth will be there when you can reach out and grasp it.
I sincerely suggest a full read of the article. It's AWESOME!

my friend had her 19 yr old cat put to sleep at home.
she said it was a tremendously emotional thing to do, but having her at home,in her environment, was "the best thing she could've done for her".
if i remember rightly, the vet came to her house and gave them as much time as they needed to say goodbye, and then gave her cat the injection and she drifted off.....it ,obviously, cost a lot more than having it done at the vets surgey, but she reckoned it was well worth it just to have her at home....
(oh, dear , im sat her balling now.....it's a year ago today that had to have my cat put to sleep)
not great timing for this thread PL!!

Geoff Armstrong- The 100 Greatest Cricketers
Unsure if this book by Armstrong was reviewed on CW ever, but this thread stems from a discussion in the random auction draft about Martin Crowe not being included in Armstrong's list of 100 cricketers. Armstrong selects who he considers to be the 100 greatest, and then places them in 9 teams (plus his favourite, Doug Walters). Armstrong also writes an excellent bio on each of the players in the book. Anyway, do you think Crowe should have been in, and what do you think of the rest of the list?
The first XI- WG Grace, Jack Hobbs, Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, Graeme Pollock, Garry Sobers, Adam Gilchrist, Imran Khan, Malcolm Marshall, Shane Warne and Sydney Barnes. The second XI- Len Hutton, Victor Trumper, Viv Richards, Wally Hammond, Brian Lara, Ian Botham, Alan Knott, Richard Hadlee, Dennis Lillee, Fred Spofforth, and Muttiah Muralitharan. The third XI- Sunil Gavaskar, Herbert Sutcliffe, George Headley, Greg Chappell, Frank Worrell, Kapil Dev, Wasim Akram, Jack Blackham, George Lohmann, Bill O'Reilly and Glenn McGrath. The fourth XI- Archie MacLaren, Clyde Walcott, Everton Weekes, Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Keith Miller, Wilfred Rhodes, Alan Davidson, Jim Laker, Godfrey Evans and Curtly Ambrose. The fifth XI- Barry Richards, Arthur Shrewsbury, Ricky Ponting, KS Ranjitsinhji, Denis Compton, Frank Woolley, Richie Benaud, Syed Kirmani, Ray Lindwall, Fred Trueman and Alec Bedser. The sixth XI- Virender Sehwag, Geoff Boycott, Rahul Dravid, Charlie Macartney, Javed Miandad, Mike Procter, Les Ames, Harold Larwood, Joel Garner, Bishan Bedi and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar. The seventh XI- Bob Simpson, Matthew Hayden, Rohan Kanhai, Neil Harvey, Ken Barrington, Monty Noble, Johnny Briggs, Wasim Bari, Andy Roberts, Michael Holding and Charlie Turner. The eighth XI- Graham Gooch, Billy Murdoch, Clem Hill, Peter May, Dudley Nourse, Jacques Kallis, Ian Healy, Hugh Trumble, Fazal Mahmood, John Snow and Waqar Younis. The ninth XI- Stan McCabe, Herbie Taylor, Vijay Hazare, Clive Lloyd, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Andy Flower, Andrew Flintoff, Bill Lockwood, Jeff Thomson, Tom Richardson and Arthur Mailey. |

So difficult to rank teams this way, especially after the 3rd XI. At a casual glance, major exclusions seem to be
Spinners: Clarrie Grimmett, Anil Kumble, Erapalli Prasanna, Derek Underwood, Abdul Qadir Laker, Benaud, Rhodes and Chandrasekhar have been overrated Pacemen: Allan Donald, Courtney Walsh, Shaun Pollock, Dale Steyn, Colin Croft Holding, Roberts and Waqar are under-ranked. Bedser, Larwood and Lindwall have been overrated Batsmen: Gordon Greenidge, Kumar Sangakkara, Martin Crowe, Arthur Morris, Bill Lawry Perhaps Cook and Smith Shrewsbury is a welcome addition, but Murdoch and MacLaren do not merit a place here. McCabe and Kallis are under-ranked (Poor Kallis, again) Wicketkeepers: Andy Flower should be higher up, and Kirmani should be replaced by Farookh Engineer or Rodney Marsh The 4th and 5th XIs' bowling makes no sense whatsoever to me, given the options available. Too much all-rounder love going on. Need better bowlers in these two line-ups. Apart from that, nice work by the author. Just couldn't hide the fact that he is British, and is too afraid to leave Tendulkar out of the first XI (understandably )
You don't allow Bradman to average 100. He averages 100 because nobody can control his scoring.

I own that book. It was written about five years ago, so I'm sure that if there was a second edition, Kallis would be moving up in accordance with the greater respect afforded to him these days.
Greatest Ever Test XI (according to my ratings): Hobbs, Hutton, Bradman (c), Headley, Lara, Sobers, Gilchrist (wk), Hadlee, Marshall, Steyn, Muralitharan 12th man: Imran Khan Favorite XI: Grace (c), Trumper, Richards, Lara, Compton, Gilchrist (wk), Cairns, Jessop, Warne, Bond, Trueman |

My major problem is that he is so blatantly pro-English, it is just sad. He should have titled the book 80 Greatest Cricketers and my English Favorites Last edited by harsh.skm; 08-02-2013 at 05:35 PM. |

As far as 4th , 5th XI considered,, Are you telling me below one is not a good bowling attack? You've gotta be kidding! Keith Miller, Wilfred Rhodes, Alan Davidson, Jim Laker, and Curtly Ambrose. Even 5th XI has bloody great fast bowling attack, and benaud is pretty good spinner and arguably best of his time. Frank Woolley, Richie Benaud, Ray Lindwall, Fred Trueman and Alec Bedser. As far as OP is considered, not just Crowe there are one or more other omissions too. But I agree Crowe should be there. If he selects it now Sangakkara would be a shoo in. And Greenidge , Hanif, Arthur Morris all are ahead of Gooch IMO. Above all I think Bruce Mitchell is the biggest omission |

In the 4th XI, Alan Davidson can be replaced by all the names above easily. Plus, Laker and Rhodes should be replaced by the likes of Grimmett and Kumble/Mailey. Of course it's a good bowling attack, I just don't think it is the 4th greatest of all time. 5th XI, Bedser and Benaud need to be replaced. Grimmett, Mailey, Qadir, Kumble are all better than him easily. No need for another all-rounder. Yeah, Bruce Mitchell is a big omission, and come to think of it, so is Aubrey Faulkner. Faulkner will kick Flintoff's ass all year long. Better than many on that list. I am glad that Macartney was included though. Last edited by harsh.skm; 08-02-2013 at 05:57 PM. |

to answer Monk's question: I think that Martin Crowe should have been included by virtue of the fact that he is New Zealand's greatest batsman, laid the foundation for series wins in the mid-80s, and was fabulous to watch as a spectator.
Since Javed Miandad represents Pakistan as their greatest batsman (6th team), it seems fair that Inzy should make way for Crowe in Armstrong's list.
1945-1977 ATG Draft: Desmond Haynes - Roy Fredericks - Rohan Kanhai - Neil Harvey - Clive Lloyd - Asif Iqbal - John Waite - Ray Lindwall - Garth McKenzie - John Snow - Derek Underwood ATG XI: Jack Hobbs - Len Hutton - Don Bradman - Brian Lara - Graham Pollock - Gary Sobers - Alan Knott - Malcolm Marshall - Shane Warne - Dennis Lillee- Sydney Barnes Last edited by watson; 08-02-2013 at 07:58 PM. |

The omission of Anil Kumble is indicative of Armstrong's philosophy when selecting his ATG players;

Grimmett's exclusion is the biggest thing for me. He is easily one of the top 5 spinners of all time, imo. Find it hard to believe Hanif Mohammad and Bill Ponsford were left out.
I also own this book and there was some definite disappointment when reading it. Kallis is underrated ridiculously. Even back then, he warrants far better than that. |

And here is a small part of Armstrong's rationale (it actually goes for 2 full pages) for preferring Mailey to Grimmett;

The fact that Armstrong places more emphasis on Strike Rate rather than Average/Economy is consistent with his selection philosophy. Mailey was an exciting risk-taker and a unique/original cricketer, hence he was the greater player

Just acquired in South Carolina....a nice, clean, original car now being finished in our workshops.
Runs and drives great....not surprising as it has the best engine one could fit to an MGA...a relatively rare early 1800cc MGB engine....98 hp instead of the stock 83 and with more torque. Remember, the later twin cams were only rated at 100hp and were a pain in the neck to keep in tune. This car? A smooth powerful engine and, with the tach drive on the back of the block is visually identical to the original 1622 Mk II engine. Our tests: 155-170 psi compression in every cylinder, 60 psi oil pressure, no smoke, SUs nicely tuned, no oil leaks, and quiet valves. e dropped the sump, cleaned it and theoil pick up, checked the rod bearings and all looked fine. Excellent clutch and trans, tight front suspension (bushings all look fairly new), brakes work well (and we just replaced pads and shoes, some brake lines and one wheel cylinder), wire wheels with nearly new radials, everything works electrically (wipers, lights, horn, heater, turn signals, etc.), mostly new chrome, all gauges work fine, very usable top and side curtains, tonneau. Even has its original factory oil cooler.
No rust underneath, frame and inner sills looks great, same with battery boxes, wood floors are solid. New red carpets just installed and very good leather seats. The interior really defines the term 'patina' and really doesn't need anything. Same with trunk and engine bay.
Body is straight, doors and panels fit nicely, not perfect but VERY good and, at the moment, the white paint is amply presentable. We are just finishing a few details and the car is available now. Price: $17,500. Give us a week or two to finish the car, new black paint, better detail work, some additional new parts....price will be $23,000. Either way, a wonderful example of this last (and in some people's minds, best) of the MGA series.
When done in beautiful black acylic, with the lovely red leather interior, the new chrome, the more powerful 1800cc engine and in excellent running and driving condition and this will be a VERY nice MGA.

By HDN Editorial Board
The streets of Havre were Y2K compliant New Year's Eve thanks in large part to the Hill County Tavern Association, Havre Ford, Montana Department of Transportation, DUI Task Force and H.E.L.P. Committee.
These groups combined efforts to once again offer Havre partygoers a safe and sober New Year's Eve.
The red insulated mugs with the safe and sober logo were distributed to the designated drivers during the evening's partying. The designated drivers could consume all of the non-alcoholic beverages they wanted thanks to the tavern owners across town.
Because of their efforts, no DUIs were reported during the evening. And the Havre Police and Hill County Sheriff's departments were out in full force New Year's Eve. One male driver was arrested and charged with DUI in the early morning hours Friday.
Pete Steinmetz, owner of Havre Ford, provides the vans used in the Home Free program for those partygoers who may have enjoyed the New Year's celebration a little too much and didn't have a designated driver to drive them safely home.
But even more important than the lack of DUIs was the fact that everyone lived through the celebration. The Havre Fire Department personnel only responded to medical emergencies and no highway fatalities.
We give a tip of the hat to these people and organizations for helping keep all of us safe during the holiday season so that we may be around for the next major celebration.
Thank them for their continued support in making our community a better place to live.v

I'm sure they know a thing or two about the show, the voices and the situation fit too well and the mule comment at the end pretty much confirms they watched more than one episode.

Ya know. That was actually pretty hilarious!
"Punk ass bitch"
Oh I started hollering at that. - May 3, 2011 at 3:16 AM
That is too funny. And while this might not necessarily mean that one of the writers is a brony, it does mean they at least did their research and watched a few episodes, ot at least that particular one.
In all seriousness, this is a GOOD thing. The Hub is kind of hard to get for some people, so most would check out the internet and end up on YouTube or something like that. Just seeing it on TV alone means at least one person is going to say "Hey, what's this?" and check it out. - May 3, 2011 at 3:36 AM
Yeah, Rarity, when DID you start caring about friendship?
Anyway, Woo for mainstream ponies! - May 3, 2011 at 3:49 AM
This is fucking stupid. Fucking ruined my favorite episode. Fuck Jimmy Shittel and fuck niggers.

You don't understand. He's a brony now even if he wasn't before. I mean, you KNOW what happens if you sit down and watch an episode! - May 3, 2011 at 4:44 AM
I liked the part where Fluttershy threw a chair.

Alright everyone Ponies are officially over :( time to go home and get a new thing.
- May 3, 2011 at 5:50 AM
So half of us are bronies because it's not mainstream and we're beating the man or whatever? Jesus. It's a good show, keep watching.
I can no longer not imagine Applejack saying "Punk-ass bitch" anytime I see her. - May 3, 2011 at 5:57 AM
It's not that it's because it's mainstream. It's because Jimmy Kimmel sucks, and generally ruins everything he touches. - May 3, 2011 at 5:59 AM
If more people are getting interested in MLP, than we will get better toys, more seasons, more everything.
I finally want a COOL looking Rainbow Dash. - May 3, 2011 at 6:01 AM
Supposing this does cause a spike in Pony interest, this wouldn't be the first time that Jimmy Kimmel has drawn attention to an obscure internet video and hurled it into the spotlight.

Am I the only one who's noticed a professional studio, with a team of people, didn't produce something better than somepony from around here?
- May 3, 2011 at 7:17 AM
- Pseudo Faux said...
Sheep, the only thing they did better was lipsynching (something important for a many billion dollar studio, and something that somepony doesn't have time to worry about most of the time)
Otherwise, yes, the ponies and bronies have put out must better content. Still, I say this is a good first step for which ever studio company this was. There's room for improvement before they reach celestia tier. - May 3, 2011 at 7:22 AM

This just made my morning awesome.
Whether someone in his studio is actually a Brony or not... - May 3, 2011 at 7:26 AM
Do everyone a favor and never post anything on the Internet ever again. You're apparently watching a show about ponies and you're still talking like some bigoted brat on Xbox live?
You are the definition of pathetic. - May 3, 2011 at 7:28 AM
Wow...lots of hate for Kimmel. I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of his show but this was pretty well done and very funny. A couple of the throwaway lines make me think that there must be a brony in Jimmy's writing team. Anyway I am all for ponies becoming more mainstream. I can always tell people that I liked it before it was popular and preserve my super secret pony hipster cred.

For those who don't watch celebrity apprentice, nene(applejack), infamous real housewife of atlanta is fighting with star jones(rarity), aa famous black writer and host of the view. This has been all they ever do since latoya jackson was kicked off the show because nene is a dumb stereotypical nigger trying to keep it real and star is a black lady projeect manager. The guys at jimmy kimmell knew damn well that applejack and rarity fighting were the perfect gag to dub over and make this funny, probably because they watch both shows. Btw, star jones was eliminated during obamas announcement.

Anonymous, thanks for the info. I've actually heard of Star Jones.
For the other Anonymous, Jimmy Kimmel is a comedian who used to be the co-host of two popular U.S. cable TV programs, "Win Ben Stein's Money" and "The Man Show." He's now the host of his own late-night talk show on U.S. broadcast TV.
Speaking of which, I was actually on the Kimmel show once (sort of): I appeared in a report "Cousin Sal" did on Furries a few years ago. - May 3, 2011 at 8:54 AM
I didn't find that funny at all but it's nice to see some good exposure
- May 3, 2011 at 9:08 AM
I was hoping for "This Week in Unnecessary Censorship: Friendship is Magic Edition", but this is good too.
- May 3, 2011 at 9:24 AM
The way I see it MLP could be heading one of 2 ways:
1. it continues as it is as a normal childs cartoon
2. It takes a massive riight turn into the adult humour section.
I think if hasbro chooses number 2 the show will become a number 2. Besides, MLP is supposed to be proof that there are still good cartoons out there. If it changes, that would destroy it's purpose. - May 3, 2011 at 10:07 AM
- PonyStark said...
This is a very small fear I have for the future of the show. When something like this gains insanely massive popularity very quickly it runs a major risk of becoming overwhelmed by its own fan-base and ultimately falling.
It happened to Freakazoid, it could happen to MLP...tread cautiously my Bronies... - May 3, 2011 at 10:20 AM
I agree with most here. I liked the clip itself. I mean, it WAS funny, and just as good a quality as some of the bronies have produced. But I still hate Kimmel. He's one of the most unfunny people on television today. I don't really know who makes the decisions to write stuff to put on the show, but it seems that they MAY have done so just to hop on the pony bandwagon.
Big-fat-money-hungry-producer of the show: "My nephew says ponies are popular. Lets get some on the show in some way. Make it happen!"
Writer of the show: "Oh yeah, it's actually a pretty good show."
Producer: "Don't care! Make it happen!"
And then Jimmy Kimmel delivers the dialog around the clip with his usual soulless bland approach. - May 3, 2011 at 10:28 AM
Joke was a bit flat but a decent exposure at least.
Jimmy Kimmel is really the best you can expect if you want something like Ponies to get on national television. - May 3, 2011 at 10:33 AM
- Beau said...
Wow, it's like watching a Youtube Poop on an actual TV. That was amusing.
I'm not a major fan of Kimmel, but I did chuckle at his remark, "If an orange pony cusses out a white one, is that a hate-crime?" - May 3, 2011 at 10:35 AM
Agreed. This is everyone's fear, I think. We must remember that, while Faust and her team actually makes the show, the Hasbro corporation is the one funding them.
One of the first things to remember about making anything is that whoever gives you the money to create will label your creation (and you for that matter) as being theirs to do with as they please. Considering that Hasbro has made some pretty poor business choices with their toys before, it's possible that they might try to push Faust's team toward a certain "more adult" direction. In which case we would all suffer.
I think some of us here that still remember "Animaniacs". Don't get me wrong, it was good when it first started, but then turned into a repetitive boring mess that did nothing but make pop-culture references. We would all hate to have MLP go that route. - May 3, 2011 at 10:39 AM
- Adrian Brony said...
I honestly don't think that's what will happen to the show. Hasbro only cares about the toy sales and when the toy sales are good, as they have been, then Hasbro will basically more or less say "just do what you're good at and make sure you have certain characters in it."
Faust knows exactly why the show has a following it does, and knows that aiming it directly at us would ruin the charm of the show. What's more, I'm sure the higher ups can understand that as well if she were to explain it to them.
also, there's no such thing as a pony bandwagon. By the very nature of the show, if you don't like it, you won't be watching it. - May 3, 2011 at 11:04 AM
@Random Defence
He wasn't calling Rarity a mule.
He was just saying that "ass" is another term for mule. - May 3, 2011 at 11:28 AM
@Adrian Brony Co sign as for those who fear the show could go down in it's appeal due the massive following above it's original demographic. You forget Lauren faust is a Veteran of 2 other SUCCESSFUL tv shows. I think the writers and lauren faust know what they are doing.
- May 3, 2011 at 12:29 PM
That was freaking funny and worked well with the Apprentice vocals.
- May 3, 2011 at 12:46 PM
- SomeGuy said...
That was hilarious. National public exposure for the win!
That being said I do agree with others that I would hate for the tone and direction of the actual show to shift towards a more adult feel. I don't think Lauren would allow it since she tried to buck (pun not intentional) the trends and stereotypes surrounding the franchise and make a show for little girls that was of high quality, plus her own childhood love of MLP. She knows (and I hope the Hasbro execs do too) that the extended fan base loves the series for what it is now, and changing it in an attempt to gain more money would do more harm then good. As the saying goes "if it ain't broke don't fix it." - May 3, 2011 at 1:16 PM

I don't think anyone's giving Lauren and the writers enough credit as artists. I might throw in a line or two as fan service in one of my stories, but the rest of it would always remain my own personal idea of what the narrative should be, and no one else's.
And to deviate from the trend of this comment page again, I actually kind of like Jimmy Kimmel. :/ - May 3, 2011 at 2:08 PM

Ok, here's the deal, Jimmy Kimmel isn't the brony here (most likly) if he was, he would have that giant grin a brony gets whenever talking about ponies to a non-brony, a writer probably was and talked them into putting it in.
Second, this doesn't mean MLP is going mainstream, Hasbro had nothing to do with it and probably doesn't care. It's like when shows like this use Spongebob as a joke, they do it because people kind of know the subject material. People will see it on TV and think: "Oh haha My Little Pony and Real Housewifes of Atlanta." This means absolutley nothing for the show, it won't change a thing.
tl,dr Jimmy's probably not the brony here, and they poked a joke at the show, and Hasbro isn't "changing it's audience to more adult feel." We still love ponies. - May 3, 2011 at 3:40 PM
I thought the whole freakazoid thing was because someone who made this offshoot super hero named madman was upset that he was unnoticed and so said how the show greatly copied his work and legal issues abound. - May 3, 2011 at 4:17 PM

Guys, if you're so convinced Jimmy Kimmel sucks, then don't watch the video. Just stick to straight-up pony.

Why does everybody have to be so negative about this free plug on national television? Thats going to bring in some major exposure and ratings to the show, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel. Thanks Jimmy! :) MLP 4 LIFE
- May 3, 2011 at 5:31 PM
I'm extremely okay with this, especially with the crowd reaction to the clip. The more people who like the show the better, right? He just made some people in his audience pony curious! I don't see how this can be a bad thing...
- May 3, 2011 at 5:46 PM
While I completely agree Jimmy is more than likely not a brony and it is the work of a writer that got this into the show I wouldn't downplay the significance of this.
It might not be a sign of MLP going mainstream, but it provided a glimpse for those watching his show of what MLP looks like and the fun that can be had with it. In fact it was videos like Jimmy's, and the various PMVs and such that fans have made, that first got me interested enough to actually check the show out.
So, in the end, I don't doubt this will bring in some new fans of the show. - May 3, 2011 at 6:00 PM

I was looking for the coverage of the news about Osama/Obama/.
- May 3, 2011 at 8:24 PM
Here's how this will attract new fans:
"Wow, that My Little Pony dub on Jimmy Kimmel was pretty funny. I think I'm going to watch the source material so I can have a point of comparison."
Of course, not knowing any better, he/she does it. This leads to him/her loving it, and a new brony is made. - May 3, 2011 at 8:44 PM
YouTube Manure on TV! This is something you don't see everyday :D
- May 3, 2011 at 10:07 PM
There was a Pound Puppies clip on Jimmy Kimmel a month or two ago, in the unnecessary censoring segment. "I can't believe they think I'm a dog *bleep*er!" (or something).
- May 3, 2011 at 10:51 PM
*Puts on big rimmed glasses*
I was into MLP *before* it became mainstream! Seriously guys, a 40 sec clip on a mediocre stand-up comidy show won't make MLP mainstream or convince Hasbro to do a gritty reboot. Stop worrying and lets all go look at Fluttershy singing. - May 5, 2011 at 1:01 AM

I bet it's only a matter of time before someone take the AJ/Rarity staredown shot in that clip at adds the "Punk-ass bitch" caption... and even less time before said image appears on Ponychan.

say hello to gNappies.
gNappies are colourful nappy covers called gPants that you use with biodegradable* disposable inserts. gPants are adorable, breathable and collectable. You only need 6-8 for full time use, but you may find you'll want the lot!
less rubbish, please.
A conventional disposable nappy takes up to 500 years to break down. gNappies are the only earth-friendly nappies that are 100% biodegradable*. gNappies disposable inserts can be home composted (wet ones only please), or binned. Good for babies. Good for the planet. And easy on everybody.
* Disposable inserts are biodegradable in home composts per ASTM standards by a third party independent lab (wet ones only please). Nothing truly biodegrades in a landfill. But gNappies gives you options for disposal. Compost or bin. The choice is yours.
see how it works ...
Tuck an insert inside gPants. Secure tabs gently
around baby's back. Pick up baby. Hug.

Okay. So. My 15-month-old was up with a cold last night, all night. I am barely powered up here on maybe 45 non-consecutive minutes of sleep. So if the sense of much I am not making so good, I apologize.
Also, I do not remember signing up to recap The Apprentice. And yet here we are.
Whatever. I guess it was a fun idea? Except UGH, teams. And UGH, those shirts.
"Welcome to RuPaul's Drag Race! I mean The Apprentice. I mean America's Next Top Hipster. I mean Project Stanford Prison Experiment."
It didn't help that the show gave the Project Runway designers all of like, 20 minutes to "design" tank tops using nothing but kindergarten art supplies. But the production schedule has been huffing helium all season, so I'm not surprised. Just like we all collectively begged Top Chef to let the chefs stay in the goddamn kitchen for one solid episode instead of cooking saltines in cow patty fields in under 30 seconds week after week after week, I'm ready to officially implore ProjRun to LET MAH PEOPLE SEW.
Or at least give them more than six hours. (Which is about what these "one day" challenges actually boil down to, after trips to Mood and individual interviews and other assorted staged shit.)
Anyway, back to what actually happened on the show. Nine designers remain. Eight of which already showed collections at Fashion Week, yet they will all spend the rest of the season yammering on about how important it is to make it to the finale so they can show a collection at Fashion Week.
Blah blah team challenge go hawk shirts on the street and guilt people into giving you money for a sparkle-puffy-painted Fruit of the Loom. Somehow ("somehow") this resulted in the teams raising HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of dollars for fabric. Blah blah again teams of three design two looks blah maximum ego drama blah.
Team Overdog raised the most money and got along just fine. (Probably because Darkest Timeline Britta is skinny and does not offend Asshole Ven's husky sensibilities, and Fabio is just happy to be there, no "i" in team, givin' hundred an' ten percent, etc.) This means they created boring looks that absolutely did not look like $800 worth of fabric. There were some see-through pink shirts and camel toe and a shapeless housecoat, and they were promptly dismissed by the judges so we could get the focus back on the crazy people.
Awwww, look who likes each other now! The Great Epic Yet Mostly Inexplicable Gunnar vs. Christopher Feud has come to an end. (Twenty bucks and a glue-gunned tank top says they hate-fucked it out, or at least had a long teary late-night discussion about how it feels to show up and see someone wearing YOUR EXACT HAIR on a show where Weird Hair has officially become everybody's primary defining characteristic.)
Anyway, congrats guys! They really did have the best and most-expensive looking looks of the night, and Sonjia's win was well-deserved for her jacket, which I covet rather covetously. Gunny rocked it out for his team and managed to actually sew two dresses that FOR ONCE didn't look wonky or hoopty or held together with bias tape. (Thirty bucks and a bottle of neon spray paint says he got a lot of patterning help from his teammates.) And Christopher's coat was cool, yet suitably weird. (A sleeveless camel trench coat. For those days when your torso is freezing but your arms are just a little too hot.)
(Note to Elena, who called Christopher's sleeveless coat an "ugly ass Snuggie:" A Snuggie is a blanket WITH SLEEVES. That's kind of the entire selling point of a Snuggie. INSULT FAIL.)
And finally, Team Eastern European Dramaz with a side of crunchy apathy. Whatever. Dmitry railroaded everybody, basically defecting and doing his own thing. "FUCK YOU ELENA" practically oozed out of his pores with everything he said or did. Elena (in between her various "PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEE" fits of drama) railroaded Alicia by relegating her to making boring basics that would be mostly covered by her coat. Alicia stared into space and blinked uselessly a few times.
Elena's coat actually looked better unbuttoned, shape-wise, though it did reveal the lack of a lining which makes it look automatically cheap. I can't really muster up an opinion about anything else. Dmitry made another tight pencil-skirt dress with doo-dah detailing at the neck, and I'm just not really a Big Flappy Shawl person, so I have no idea if he made a good one or not. I feel like that fringe would be perpetually in my way, like overgrown bangs on a windy day.
And Alicia should have known she'd been coasting too long without wowing the judges. She should have fought for the chance to make one of the outerwear pieces. She should have known Elena would throw her under the bus in a white-hot minute, sisterhood be damned.
And so Alicia is auffed, pretty much like she should have been last week. But now we know that would have messed up the teams-of-three challenge that was already planned. OBVIOUS SHAM IS OBVIOUS.
(Lastly, Awkward Segue is Awkward: My deepest condolences to the lovely and talented Laura Bennett, on the passing of her husband Peter. I am so sorry for your loss, dear lady.)

Woman rewarded with clear conscience
Updated: June 8, 2012
Sharon Walker was having a typical day at work as a meter reader for Ameren. But, in a second, everything changed.
"The grass was kinda high so I was moving it so the sticker bushes weren't cutting my leg. And I stepped on a wallet. At first I thought a kid just threw it in and there was nothing in it. But I looked in it and there was almost $500 in it."
$500 sitting in a bush. Money in her pocket, right? Well, maybe not.
"I just took it to the sheriff's office and turned it in. I'd rather have god's blessing on me and doing the right thing than to spend somebody else's money and live in terror for the rest of my life."
In this case, doing the right thing, did pay off.
"It's so rewarding to see someone come in and do the right thing to do."
Christian County Sheriff Bruce Kettelkamp gave Walker a special award.
"It would have been just as easy for her to take that money out of the billfold, put it in her pocket, and move on to the next meter. But she didn't do that. What she did was she did the right thing, the honest thing, the moral thing to do."
Turns out, the wallet had been missing for about 3-yaers. The man who lost it never thought he'd get it back, especially with the money inside.
"I think its typical of what she did is it shows what kind of people we have here in Christian County. We have very honest, moral character hardworking people here in Christian County."
"It makes me feel great. And hopefully other people will do the right thing if they come upon someone else's money."
The moral of the story? Sometimes a clean conscience is worth more than money can buy.

Two things: Don't lie for years about using performance-enhancing drugs, and don't get caught being tricked by an imaginary girlfriend. That's the lesson to be learned from the latest Nielsen/E-Poll of America's 10 most disliked athletes, which is headed by former cyclist Lance Armstrong and Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o.
Armstrong and Te'o each appeal to just 15% of the public, according to Nielsen's polling, which it conducts on a rolling basis with the help of E-Poll, an Encino-based market research firm.
Armstrong didn't do himself any favors with his interview with Oprah Winfrey.
PHOTOS: The 10 most-disliked athletes in America
"The Oprah interview hurt him; he came off as pompous, arrogant and unapologetic," says Stephen Master, senior vice president of sports at Nielsen.
Apparently Te'o isn't disliked because he fell for a hoax, he is disliked because he played up the "my girlfriend died of cancer" angle for much of the season. Many respondents felt he wasn't as hurt as he let on, considering he had never met the person in question, and was just using that for publicity during the season.
"The story was just so creepy," Master says. "And even when he knew he'd been duped he stuck with the story for a while, and he'd told people he had met the woman in person."
Others on the list include Kobe Bryant and Metta World Peace of the Lakers and golfer Tiger Woods.

More than expected
The jacket is described as medium weight but it has a zip out lining that makes it work from cool evenings to those cold days. It also looks great.Reviewer: Rob (Yakim, WA) 6.1.2012
Super Sweet
Great jacket 6'0" went with a 44, I wish they had long cuz the left sleeve is just a touch short on my jacket. Otherwise, super sweet jacket and the price was right. It was slightly heavier then I thought but makes for a good spring and fall jacket.Reviewer: Orea W (, HI) 10.3.2011
Awesome Jacket
Great jacket, great fit, 5'4" 150lbs size 40 fits great other than the sleeve length when walking. Riding sleeve length is perfect. Wax the buttons and zippers before use, apparently they give you 2 spare sets of buttons.

Latin American Beef Stew with Marinated Red Onion Salad
This is very colourful and has lots of great flavours and textures – ideal for entertaining because all the vegetables are already in it, so all it needs is some plain rice.
Serves 4-6

Equipment |
You will also need a lidded flameproof casserole with capacity of 6 pints (3.5 litres). |
This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book Two.
First of all, you need to roast the spices and, to do this, place them in a small frying pan or saucepan over a medium heat and stir and toss them around for 1-2 minutes, or until they begin to look toasted and start to jump in the pan. Now transfer them to a pestle and mortar and crush them to a powder.
Next, pat the cubed meat with kitchen paper, then place the casserole over a high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and, as soon as it's really hot, brown the meat about 6 cubes at a time, till it's well browned and crusty. As the cubes cook, remove them to a plate and brown the rest in batches. Then heat the other tablespoon of oil and fry the onions, chilli and garlic until they're nicely tinged brown at the edges. Now add the flour and stir this in to soak up the juices. Next, add the spices and return the meat to the casserole, then add the tomatoes, ale and wine, season and stir well, then bring it up to simmering point, put the lid on the casserole and place in the centre of the oven for 2 hours
After that, add the squash, sweetcorn and red pepper, stir again and return the casserole to the oven for a further 40-45 minutes. Meanwhile, to make the salad, mix the red onion with the lime zest, juice and coriander in a small bowl and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes before serving, then hand it round separately as a garnish.

Drawings don't have to be on a grand scale to bend your mind. Optical illusions can be manipulated in tons of ways, and this guy gets it. The artist's name is Nagai Hideyuki, and his drawings all but jump out of his sketchbook. I always love twists on the idea of an optical illusion because art is at its best when it demands your undivided attention. And I just can't stop looking at these. Check it out.
The best part about these drawings is that the artist is just getting started. A 21-year-old from Japan, Hideyuki already has a large body of work. See more of his 3D drawings in the gallery, and check out his deviantART site for more mind-bending art. [via visualnews]
What do you think of these brain-challenging drawings?

Medical Checkups for Adolescents
Topic Overview
During your adolescent's yearly medical checkup, most doctors:
- Check your child's height and weight, Reference body mass index Opens New Window, blood pressure, vision, and hearing.
- Listen to your child's heart and lungs. Also, the doctor will feel the Reference lymph nodes Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window and the Reference thyroid gland Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window in the neck as well as the Reference spleen Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window, Reference liver Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window, and Reference kidneys Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window in the stomach area.
- Inspect the
- Your son's Reference testicles Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window will be checked to feel for any unusual lumps.
- The doctor may recommend a Reference Pap test Opens New Window or Reference pelvic exam Opens New Window for your daughter.
- Check the breasts of both males and females.
- Test joints and muscles for flexibility and strength.
- Check the spine. If any irregularities are noticed, X-rays may be done to rule out conditions such as Reference scoliosis Opens New Window.
- Look at the skin for signs of Reference acne Opens New Window, and check for abnormal Reference moles Opens New Window.
- Review and update Reference immunizations Opens New Window.
Other tests, such as blood tests, may be done at your doctor's discretion.
A doctor often will discuss health and safety concerns with your child, such as:
- Tips to add healthy foods and exercise into a daily routine.
- Reference Safe driving. Your doctor might remind your teen to always wear a seat belt, not use a cell phone while driving, and not "go along" in a car with someone who drives recklessly.
- Using common sense with modern technology. Internet chat rooms, text messaging, and other kinds of modern technology offer young people ways to communicate quickly. They may also feel anonymous. But children need to understand the dangers of giving out information to people they don't know. They also need to be reminded to think twice before sending messages to others. Communication is so fast now that things they write and send off with a "click" can have effects that they did not intend. For example, sending off a mean text message can be very hurtful. It can even be a form of Reference bullying Opens New Window.
- Sun protection. The doctor might bring up basic facts about when to wear Reference sunscreen Opens New Window and other ways to avoid sun damage.
- Lifestyle issues, such as pregnancy, prevention of Reference sexually transmitted infections Opens New Window, and the risks of experimenting with drugs and alcohol.
Most likely, this kind of information will not be new to your child. But it may "stick" more with some children when they hear it from an adult other than their parents. It usually is a good idea to give your adolescent time alone to discuss issues privately with the doctor. This gives your child an opportunity to address problems or concerns that may be difficult to share with you.

Wednesday's Letters to the Editor
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 12:58 p.m.
Luddite agenda
EDITOR: The Sebastopol City Council needs to step back and stop catering to the fanatical minority of the EMF Safety Network. The recent action to attempt a moratorium on the installation of SmartMeters was unwise, illegal and exposed the city to legal expenses it can little afford.
The pursuit of a community ban on SmartMeter technology may also expose the city to legal action by those who would be restricted from receiving the benefit of new usage data and rate plans made available by the technology.
Similarly, the recent attempt to restrict the addition of cellular antennas an existing cellular antenna towers, which was supported by council members Sarah Gurney and Michael Keyes, demonstrates their willingness to pursue actions favored by the EMF Safety Network that have little legal or scientific basis. These actions are contrary to settled federal case law regarding communication towers and risk exposing the city to additional legal expense.
If the EMF Safety Network wishes to pursue its Luddite agenda, let it be at its expense, not that of the city and the majority of citizens who wish to avail themselves of the benefit of these technologies.
Pedestrian safety
EDITOR: Much has been written about drivers hitting pedestrians and sometimes not stopping. It is a terrible occurrence. But I'm surprised there are not more of these accidents.
As a driver, I constantly see people of all ages taking off across the street looking neither left nor right, frequently while talking on cellphones, playing with iPads or visiting. They know they have the right of way, so they don't worry. Bad decision. What are they thinking? They're not.
As a pedestrian, I don't leave the sidewalk until I have checked what's coming and whether they are slowing down. I look over my shoulder when crossing, watching for a car making a right turn. I glance right and left while crossing to be sure I didn't miss anything. It's not a big deal. I don't need a check list. It's like breathing, and I'm still breathing because of it.
Sending a careless driver to prison doesn't help the person who is injured or killed. There needs to be occasional articles in the paper reminding pedestrians of their responsibility for their own safety. This should be brought up in the schools on a periodic basis.
Contradictory policies
EDITOR: Well, our "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" Congress has struck again. After thinking that gas consumption would rise, Congress encouraged ethanol plants to sprout all over the corn belt ("Ethanol promise begins to fade," Sunday). Meantime, another arm, left or right, you pick, of our friends in Washington continued on its quest for 50 mpg cars, thereby reducing the need for gas. Which, along with the cruddy economy reducing driving, has almost eliminated the market for ethanol.
The law of unintended consequences strikes again. The more government attempts to help, the worse things get. All things considered I wonder what the taxpayer hit on this one was? Or the costs to those local economies?
Santa Rosa
Wages, food prices
EDITOR: My response to Tony Alvarez ("Low-wage work," Letters, Friday) in regard to people not lining up for farm work because farmers are unwilling to pay a fair wage is this: American consumers are not willing to pay a fair price for their food, period.

What's the rationale?
EDITOR: What is Bishop Robert Vasa's rationale for allowing teachers who are unwilling to assure him on their hope of heaven that they think as he thinks on matters peripheral to Catholic teaching to have the care and teaching of Catholic school children ("Bishop excuses Ukiah teachers from vow," Friday)?
He has made just such an oath mandatory for all teachers in Catholic schools in his diocese; he must think it of the first importance for the protection of the students. But now he seems to think that the students at St. Mary's in Ukiah can take their chances for another year, because their teachers, unwilling to sign, will even so be allowed to expose their students to their inadequately catechized Christianity.
I propose an oath for all teachers in Catholic schools: "In all religion lessons, I shall honor the Nicene creed as the truth of Catholicism and that in all my dealings with my students and faculty and staff, I shall carefully and professionally discharge my responsibility as an educator. Facio Liberos ex Liberis Libris Libraque (I make free (wo)men from children by means of books and the balance)."

Welcome to the Music Department at Indiana University Southeast. Our faculty of nationally recognized scholars and artists is strongly committed to fostering student learning and academic achievement. Classes are designed to enhance student-faculty relationships and facilitate the learning experience. The Music Department at IU Southeast offers one of the most musically intensive Bachelor of Arts degrees in the region while maintaining small class sizes and personal attention.
Students engage in a rigorous program that combines all aspects of artistic and academic study, ranging from solo performance to music theory, music history and music technology. A full array of general academic subjects traditional to the liberal arts provides skills and knowledge in written and oral communication and provides an excellent academic foundation for personal development and professional flexibility.
Indiana University Southeast, located in New Albany, Indiana, is one of eight branch campuses of Indiana University, home to the world-renowned Indiana University Jacobs School of Music on the Bloomington campus. Located within the metropolitan area of Louisville, Kentucky, a city with an international reputation for the arts, students at IU Southeast are able to take full advantage of the region's wealth of musical resources. A nationally recognized faculty of performers, artists, and scholars work closely with students in a small, nurturing environment.
The Music Department is located in the Paul W. Ogle Cultural and Community Center on the north end of the campus. This facility includes the visually stunning Richard K. Stem Concert Hall, a 500-seat performing venue praised by the Louisville Courier-Journal for its "plush, enveloping sonic environment." The Ogle Center also houses the Robinson Theater, a 340-seat thrust theater, the 100-seat Recital Hall, classrooms, computer facilities, and a new state-of-the-art music technology lab.
