How to enable AHCI on Intel ICH9 under XP
After some research by MSFN staff, we have a working solution to enable ACHI on the ICH9 with appropriate SATA/NCQ drive(s).
For more information about AHCI, we refer to Wikipedia.org:
List of needed files and driver packs:
32-bit Floppy Configuration Utility for Intel® Matrix Storage Manager
64-bit Floppy Configuration Utility for Intel® Matrix Storage Manager
1. Unpacking drivers
2. Preparing the drivers
3. Creating Windows registry file
4. BIOS Settings
5. Installing the drivers in Windows
6. Final installation check
7. Editors thoughts
1. Unpacking drivers
Unpack the Floppy Configuration Utility for Intel® Matrix Storage Manager and extract the file (.ZIP) with WinRAR or similar program.
2. Preparing the drivers
Copy the file IASTOR.SYS to the Windows SYSTEM32/DRIVERS directory. Open the IAAHCI.INF with Notepad from the directory where you unpacked the drivers. Use CRTL-R and you should get a "replace" window. In the first input window you type "2821" and the second "2923", so you will replace all "2821" text to "2923", and click "Replace All". Save IAAHCI.INF over the original file.
Replace the line:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2923&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) 82801HR/HH/HO SATA AHCI Controller"To:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2923&CC_0106.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller"
Save the file under the same name, e.g. IAAHCI.INF and exit Notepad.
3. Creating Windows registry file
Now we create a registry file with Notepad and the following contence:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase\pci#ven_8086&dev_2923&cc_0106] "Service"="iaStor" "ClassGUID"="{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor] "Type"=dword:00000001 "Start"=dword:00000000 "Group"="SCSI miniport" "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "ImagePath"="system32\\drivers\\iaStor.sys" "tag"=dword:00000019 "DisplayName"="Intel AHCI Controller" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor\Parameters] "queuePriorityEnable"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor\Enum] "0"="PCI\\VEN_8086&DEV_2923&SUBSYS_B0051458&REV_02\\3&13c0b0c5&0&FA" "Count"=dword:00000001 "NextInstance"=dword:00000001
Save it as AHCI_ICH9.REG and run it after closing Notepad.
4. BIOS Settings
Restart the computer and enter the BIOS (Mostly entered by pressing DEL). Make the settings:
SATA RAID/AHCI Mode [AHCI] SATA Port0-3 Native Mode [Enabled]
Restart again to boot into Windows XP.
For ASUS P5K motherboards (IF present in BIOS, please report if not present.):
Restart the computer and enter the BIOS (Mostly entered by pressing DEL). Make the settings:
SATA Configuration [Enhanced] Configure SATA as [AHCI]
Restart again to boot into Windows XP.
5. Installing the drivers in Windows
If you did steps one to four right, you will not get that "known" BSOD again before you hit the desktop! Windows will show new devices found like all your optical drives and hard disks until you hit to "PCI-Device". Select "Install manual" and point to the folder where you saved the IAAHCI.INF file and select the IAAHCI.INF file as this is the driver that needs to be installed. Follow the instruction on the screen and restart your computer again.
6. Final installation check
When Windows has started, go to the control panel to check your system properties. In the hardware configuration list there should be now:
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers -> Intel® ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller.
Beware: You can't install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, as the ICH9 doesn't have RAID. On the net people talk about a modified version that should install, but it's useless when you don't have RAID.
We hope you enjoy your new ACHI enabled ICR9 Bridge in XP!
7. Editors thoughts
It must be a marketing question from Intel and Microsoft. There is nothing else I can think of why neither Intel nor Microsoft made new drivers for XP. The only thing I can think of is that Intel wants to sell more ICR9R bridges and Microsoft wants to push its Windows Vista. Like always both companies won't make any comments!...
Ps. if there is any good info I should add, please post it ...
- 23 DEC 2007, Edited point 4; ASUS BIOS settings.
- 04 JAN 2008, Edited point 6; Fact, unable to install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
- 07 FEB 2008, Edited point 1 and 2; Clearer explication about the IAAHCI.INF file, and option when a floppy drive is used.
- 19 MAY 2008, Edited point 3; ControlSet001 changed on second line of registry file to CurrentControlSet, thanks to skipg for correcting me.
- 10 AUG 2008, Post contents added to sticky FAQ, this post is now un-stickied and retired
- 10 DEC 2008, Changed the Intel driver links, now for 32 and 64 bit and the latest version, thanks to an3k for the links.
- 18 DEC 2008, Intel drivers are now packed as a .ZIP file, removed the outdated un-packing procedure, thanks to tre_ge.

Native American remains were unearthed by construction crews working in Menlo Park on Tuesday, police said.

Oh. Oh, oh, oh.
Please show all respect. This is sad.

In a perfect world the burial site would be a place to visit and learn. The Carmel Mission has Native Americans buried with markers indicating who they were. It's repectful and enlightening.
Overbuilding needs to stop in Palo Alto and Menlo Park.
Posted by clarkia, a resident of another community, on Nov 15, 2012 at 5:36 pm
If there even is an organization called the Native American Historical Society it certainly has no jurisdiction over the remains of native people in California. That should read "the Native American Heritage Commission" see Web Link
Posted by Steve C, a resident of Menlo Park, on Nov 15, 2012 at 6:18 pm
I'm kind of curious to know how the determination that these were Native Americans was made. Would have been nice if the article mentioned something about that.
Posted by Sharon, a resident of the Midtown neighborhood, on Nov 15, 2012 at 8:20 pm
Given that Indian tribes lived here for 1000s of years there must be more than a million skeletons lying around in the area.
Most were probably eaten by scavengers or rotted
-those left should be removed and buried in a cemetery.
Was there anything to suggest that these remains were something out of the ordinary?
Posted by Horselady, a resident of the Community Center neighborhood, on Nov 16, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Given the location, I would assume they are Ohlone.
I don't know for sure if it still is open to new burials, but ther is an Ohlone burial site in southern Fremont, off of Mission Blvd.
Posted by Bob, a resident of Menlo Park, on Nov 24, 2012 at 1:10 am
This article is a reprint of the police press release. If the police don't even know the name of the agency to contact concerning Native remains, are we sure they didn't end up in some hobbiest's garage?

Team Fortress 2 - Sandvich Edible Device
Many of you asked for it and I'm not one to ignore the masses so here you go - the Team Fortress 2 Sandvich in all it's glory! Thankfully this actually already comes with a very helpful visual recipe - oh Valve, you're so good for food in games.
2 Slices White Bread
1 Leaf Lettuce
2 Large Tomato Slices
3 Slices Swiss Cheese
1 Slice Ham
To Garnish:
Green Pimento Olive
Making the Sandvich Edible Device:
- Spread a little bit of mayonnaise on both pieces of bread.
- On one piece stack the ham, cheese, 2 slices of tomato and the lettuce leaf, then top with the second piece of bread.
- Cut diagonally and skewer with a pimento olive to serve.
Simple but effective. I'd find it hard to believe that a sandwich could restore all of a Heavy's health… but this is a SandVich. It's capable of being transformed into metal (apparently) so it must be pretty damn good - I'll have to see for myself some time.

Texas Center for the Missing offers back to school safety tips
The Texas Center for the Missing has issued some safety tips to help avoid child abductions during the coming school year.
The center suggests parents and children sit down together and talk about safety practices that can deter family tragedies. In an analysis of attempted nonfamily abductions, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children found approximately 36 percent of attempted abductions happened when a child was going to or from school or a school-related activity, according to the release. Parents are encouraged to walk all routes with their children and review how to yell, run and tell if they are ever threateningly approached by an adult.
The release encourages residents to talk with children about school subjects and activities and be aware of each child's circle of friends.
The center suggests setting limits on internet usage and making clear how much time can be spent online. Discuss what websites they can and cannot visit, even when away from home. Create a list of websites that will be useful for school projects and reports.
If your child is in a daycare or after-school program, review all adults who will be in contact with each child, the release suggests. Ask for background checks on all day care or after-school program employees.
When new school pictures are taken, use them to update your child's ID kit, the release states. This kit should contain current information on height, weight, eye and hair color, and a baby tooth or swatch of hair for a DNA sample.
The Texas Center for the Missing is a Houston-based nonprofit organization that serves as the Amber Alert provider for the 14-county Houston and Galveston region. The center offers crisis intervention, prevention and community education services related to child abductions, runaways, internet lures and endangered adults. In 2011 alone, 10,015 children were reported missing in the Greater Houston area, according to the press release.
For more information, call 713-599-0235 or visit thetexascenter.org.

OfficeMax stock skyrockets on news of merger talks
(AP) — Shares of office suppliers jumped Tuesday after a report in The Wall Street Journal said OfficeMax and Office Depot are considering a merger.
The report cited unidentified people familiar with the matter and said an announcement may come as early as this week. OfficeMax and Office Depot declined to comment on the Monday report.
But investors hopeful that a deal can be worked out drove up the companies' shares.
OfficeMax Inc. stock closed up $2.25, or 21 percent, at $13.00 — well above its prior year-high of $11.45. Office Depot Inc. shares closed up 43 cents, or more than 9 percent, at $5.02 after reaching as much as $6.09 earlier in the session. Shares of Staples Inc., the largest U.S. office supplies chain, also got a lift, up $1.70, or 13.1 percent, to $14.65.
The office supply business is very competitive. Staples has traditionally been stronger than its rivals, and new entrants in the market in recent years have made it even more difficult. Online retailer Amazon and big discount stores such as Costco and Wal-Mart have expanded office supply offerings.
On Tuesday, analysts considered what consolidating office product companies would mean to the industry. Several pointed out that Staples tried to buy Office Depot in 1997, but was blocked by the Federal Trade Commission.
"We think there is a fair amount of risk that the FTC would not look favorably on a potential merger of the number 2 and number 3 players in the office product space," said Citi Investment Research analyst Kate McShane.
But since more companies provide office products now than they did then, OfficeMax and Office Depot might stand a better chance of having their combination approved by regulators, said Jefferies analyst Daniel Binder.
If the deal went through, Office Depot and OfficeMax could save a lot of money — about $480 to $580 million over three years, according to calculations by Binder. But that wouldn't necessarily translate straight to profit since the industry is likely to shrink, and Amazon, Wal-Mart and others remain "aggressive" competitors.
Both Binder and McShane said that a combination of Office Depot and OfficeMax would benefit Staples, as the merged company shut down competing stores. That would create growth opportunities for Staples. .

mini bathroom makeover completed.
so, i kind of felt bad leaving you guys hanging like i did something super-exciting in my bathroom, when it really wasn't that exciting! haha...i just hadn't had a chance to really take good photos, because you have to wait until about 4-5 pm to get any light in there, and even then it's really hard and awkward, because i'd guess the square footage is around 20 feet. tiny bathroom. nevertheless, mini-makeover i promised, and mini-makeover you shall receive.
here is my "after" pic:
as i mentioned in my previous post, the wall color is a mixture of 2 colors i had on hand already. i love the way it turned out!
i also ended up making a tiny curtain for the window (with some leftover fabric i had from another project), and also painted the little shelf in a chevron pattern.
the photo above the little shelf is a photo from our wedding that i blew up (of my husband and my brother) and framed in a target frame, and the small white shelf happens to be from target too. i already had it, and it used to live in that exact same spot, but after my wall color switcheroo, i was craving something different for the shelf. i actually initially covered it in a yellow and white fabric, but after i covered the whole thing, it didn't want to be hung up again due to the fabric keeping the screws from going in the right place on the wall. i removed all the fabric, and decided to do a spraypainted chevron print, sort of like "everything LEB's" tray.
i started out by covering the whole thing in masking tape (i didn't have painter's tape on hand, but this worked fine):
sketched out the chevron pattern with a sharpie (you could get technical with a measuring device or a tracing device if you want to be perfect for this, but i was in a time crunch)
peeled off every other row of the tape to create the lines:
the put it outside on dropcloth, and spray-painted away, with spraypaint that i already had:
i did 2 layers of paint, and was really happy with my outcome!
what was mika doing during all of this, you may ask?
that's right, snoozin'.
anyway, next, i made a simple, small curtain for the window. i already had this geometric gray fabric leftover from my chair project, so i bought a small dowel rod at target (actually, that was the only thing i bought for this entire mini-makeover), then hot-glued the ends under to "hem" them into the curtain shape. i fed the foldover onto the dowel, and voila! i guess hot-glue wouldn't be the number one method of making a curtain under normal circumstances, but since this one will never really be moved or rearranged, it's ok if it's not sewn.
and now, i will show you how i stood in the shower stall to take these photos:
hah! hope you guys enjoyed my virtually-free mini make over. it makes me a happy kristen. :)

Love it! Just wondering what the name of the yellow spray paint you used is. Thanks.
ReplyDelete This is so stylish and yet looks so calm. Something i have contemplated on doing for a while, so i was quick to show my husband your after photos and he is now willing to let me do the same to our powder room. He needed to see my vision but actually done as he is not the visual type. Great work yet again and thanks for helping me convince my man :o)

The lake is bouncing a clear blue sky back up at you. Framing everything perfectly. It's like time freezes in Patagonia even though you're having fun.

Guests Reviews About This Trip
This was my favorite of all of the Backroads trips I've taken. What a great adventure! The food and wine on this trip were incredible at every location. It far exceeded my expectations, and every meal made my taste buds dance with happiness. I haven't found a travel company I like more than Backroads. It truly is my number one!- Green Valley, AZ
This was my first group travel experience, having always traveled independently. I didn't quite know what to expect and whether I would like it or not...I loved every minute! From our Backroads Trip Leaders to the local guides, I felt like I was in excellent hands doing incredible things in spectacular natural surroundings. I particularly enjoyed traveling with my fellow Backroads companions and getting to know them better. Without exception, they were an interesting and extremely well-traveled group - I loved the interaction! I hope to see some of them again sometime, either on another Backroads trip or just a local visit. This Patagonian trip was a wonderful experience for me Thanks to you, Backroads, for making it so.- Atlanta GA
Exploring Argentina is like getting a new present every day...Surprises await in every bend in the trail and beauty and charm beyond imagination lie in the quiet villages and natural terrain.- Tallahassee Magazine

6. | moosing | ||
To mess about or play about Kaytee was moosing about.
1. | moosing | ||
The man penetrates his lady friend in the 'doggy' position. At the point of climax, he puts his hands to the side of his head, palms open and pointing forwards, with the thumbs pressed just above the ears, representing antlers. Moose-esque sound effects/shaking of the head are optional. With all the noise and shaking, Felicity thought that Roger was having a heart attack. It was only after cleaning up that he revealed that he had been indulging in a spot of moosing. She resolved to position herself in front of a mirror next time he tried to slip her one from behind.
2. | moosing | ||
moosing; the act of extending one's lower lip then rubbing it upon another human. this is rumored to lock that moment in both of the involved people's heads forever. the person doing the "moosing" is called the "mooser." as a noun, the act of doing it is called a "moose." the leftover saliva on the other person's skin is referred to as the "moose juice." if sanitation is an issue, you can always "blow a moose" by extending your lower lip, opening your mouth slightly, blowing, and guiding it with your hand in much of the same way one could blow a kiss. Wow, that was the moosing opportunity of a lifetime!
3. | Moosing | ||
The act of using excessive force in basic tasks. It usually involves nails, hammers, smashing, breaking, or otherwise general destruction. Moosing should be avoided in public places. I asked my roommate to throw away his beer cans. He smashed it on the floor and then chucked it at the garbage can and made a bigger mess then there was originally. Moosing at its finest...
4. | moosing | ||
a sexual act involving entry doggy style,at the point of peaking,simply place hands upon each ass cheek ,then insert both thumbs up the dirt track and.... STRETCH "my boyfriend asked me if i was game for some moosing,i said yeah, not knowing what it was and ended up in A&E with a torn sphincter...bastard could have cut his nails!"
5. | Moosing | ||
to open hands wide and place thumb on either side of the temple and wiggle fingers. Usually occurs during intercourse when the male wants to add a little spice into the moment.
PLEASE NOTE!!: many women find this quite annoying, only for use infront of mirror when she is about to orgasm! when you are having intercourse and doing a lady from behind you raise your hands and wiggle... that is moosing
7. | Moosing | ||
To play with a girls bra straps "no moosing tonight, we're going to the queen's wedding"

Whew, another longer one. I'm just going to comment on a few that particularly catch my eye. ^^;
#1 Such a lovely Christmas scene. I want to join them all. And Twilight's cutie mark as a star tree topper, cute. :P
#4 I've never seen that anime before, but this is an awesome pic. And something bad is going to happen to Fluttershy?! Nuuuuu! :'(
#6 "Double Bass" Eenope! I think I can guess what part two will be... Also, Vinyl. Why are you playing under the bridge?
#8 Seems Pinkie is still working on wrapping my present. That's alright, I'm a patient pony. :)
#9 Aww, that war hero Derpy. And her little eye patch. Which isn't supposed to be, but is kinda cute on her.
#15 Ah, yes. I remember that quote. It's a very good and smart one.
#16 Wow, look at that. That's gorgeous I say. Of course the lighting, shading and such are the big components in this one. Or at least I think so. Really nice piece.
#17 Haha! This one has me giggling quite a bit. Oh Twilight... what in Celestia's name happened to you?! xD Looks like Rarity has claimed another victim. Speaking of victims, someone call the fashion police. :P
#20 I say, golly good ol' chap! May I have another spot of tea, my Princess?
#21 Dat flank. Definitely dat flank. Celestia has it goin' on back there. I'm so sorry. It's just so... perfectly shaped! Help, it's using it's hypnotic powers on me!
#23 Oh, I love this little set. It's so cute.
#24 Save on Holiday shipping today! That was an awful pun and for that, I'm very sorry. It was just begging to be done. :)
#28 This scene also gave me a chuckle as I'm sure it did pretty much the entire Brony populous. Silly Rarity. That's not how you wear a crown.
#29 Are you a wizard?
#30 What... is that in the background? lol Gee... I wonder if any certain characters could have possibly been the inspiration for that grey pony in the background of this pic? ;) And look at how fancy Applejack and Rarity look, wow. Surprised Rarity even got Applejack to wear something as girly and frilly as that. I think it's quite adorable. <3
#32 That's a kinds cool and nice outfit Luna is wearing here.
#35 Ah, shoot. I didn't get the Seinfeld reference in this until I read about it. :( But nah. I was simply eating one pea at a time to annoy Vinyl. It looks like it may be working. ;)
#36 I dunno. Out of all the names I think my favorite would be... Dirtville! Lmao. What can I say about this image? Well... I think Rarity is certainly enjoying it. Twilight probably is too. ;)
#37 Wow. That would be the most epic stained glass window ever. And so very intricate. I can't fathom the amount of hours this window would take to make. Lovely pic.
Gah, I commented on more than I wanted to yet again. I keep doing that. lol - December 19, 2011 at 2:55 PM

Favorite part of the banner: Rainbow Dash scooping up snow, presumably to make a snowball. (And given the trends so far, I'd guess her target is Twilight Sparkle...)
#1: It's hard to fit 13 characters in a drawing without it feeling crowded, but this drawing succeeds reasonably well. I love Tank's red nose, but I doubt Fluttershy could have convinced Angel to wear that hat.
#5: It's great to see more images of the Apple sisters; Apple Bloom looks too cute reclining against her big sis like that.
#6: Well, she's trying, at least. (Octavia: "Very trying.")
#14: I love this seasonal scene; it really feels like a snowy evening.
#15: Adorkable Twilight accompanied by a fitting quote from one of my favorite writers? Oh yes, I'm definitely saving this one.
#16: That may be the best drawing of Philomena I've seen, and the other characters and the background all look great too. I especially love how, while the other three are all looking totally hardcore, Twilight is... reading a book. Epic and adorkable in the same drawing? Favorite of the drawfriend!
#17: And Gashi-Gashi's Rarity drawing is ready, and possibly the best of the series so far. I love Rarity's expression, and Twilight is just hilarious in the background.
#20: Forget wet-maning all the ponies; steampunk all the ponies! Celestia's looking quite dapper in that bowler.
#28: I was wondering when someone would immortalize that moment from the episode. Considering how Rarity was the best actor of the group, I can imagine she did that on purpose...
#30: ... What're we supposed to do when the artist's name is offensive? Nice drawing, nonetheless; I wonder how Rarity got Applejack to be so happy in that frou-frou getup?
#32: I really like Luna's outfit in this drawing; it looks like something ponies would actually wear when it's cold.
#33: I've had presents end up looking like that. Don't worry, Sweetie Belle; I'm sure Rarity knows it's the thought that counts.
#34: If Studio B doesn't put Pinkie Pie back in that costume in a later episode, they'll have missed a golden opportunity.
#35: And chews each one 40 times, I'm sure.
#37: A beautiful depiction of the evolution of ponies. Best part: Derpy in the upper right. - December 19, 2011 at 3:14 PM

@Jett Midknight
Apparently because that is just the name the artist goes by... I honestly cannot even begin to fathom why, but what can Seth do but credit them accordingly? Such an adorable picture too~ (I'm biased, but that hardly matters)
Anyhow though, yaaaay, early Drawfriend! Now I can actually comment before I head off to work! ^.^
#1 Such an adorable warm, happy Christmas picture... I LOVE the way the artist also included Spike and even all the pets, that's just fabulous! And despite the fact that Angel-bunny is looking a bit surly. Very sweet and cozy picture that perfectly captures the holiday spirit, I think.
#2 I really loved those two together in the last episode... I'd like to draw some of my own Hearth's Warming fanart as soon as I have the time.
#3 Though I don't ship it (thanks to Growing Pains, I now like the idea of Soarin' with Spitfire) this is a really sweet and lovely fanart. Beautifully composed and the artist has a lovely style.
#4 Heheh, not quite sure what is going on here but I like it a lot. ^.^ Fun, funny concept and I love everypony's expressions! The somewhat anime-inspired style really works for this picture.
#5 B'dawww. Applejack really is a model sister, isn't she?
#8 Ah yes, I always recognize this artist's works because I really like her style, and this picture is no exception even though the content rather has me at a loss.
#9 There is a pairing (I believe?) one doesn't see every day. This looks like a continuation from that one ponies-plotting-war picture that made the top-slot of a Drawfriend a while back.
#13 Ooh I really like this one... once again, as so often happens with me I find myself completely taken by a detailed, compelling background. Everything about this one is really beautifully done, though I'm a bit confused by that red circle on the ground (is this another reference of some sort that I am missing?). Otherwise though it's great... I have always loved Derpy's cutie mark and wondered about its origin and meaning.
#15 I really love this one... I was definitely a Twilight Sparkle when I was young and C.S. Lewis was one of my favorite authors. And yes, to this day I maintain a love of fairy tales and fantastical fictions. That is a great quote by Mr. Lewis, and the artwork accompanies it perfectly, lovely job. - December 19, 2011 at 3:34 PM
- WhiteDiamonds said...
(part II)
#16 This picture is insane. Is this something that was drawn from scratch? Because they almost look like 3-D models or something. Whatever the case, brilliant and gorgeous!
#17 Haha, yes! I was just saying the other day that I was eager to see this artist continue their pony series and give us a Rarity fanart, and here it is! Hilarious and fabulous!
#18 D'aww, this picture is so very sweet. And I love the coloring job on the two ponies especially... the use of purple was very tasteful here.
#19 I feel like I am the only person alive who has never played this game. Anyway though, pretty nice artwork.
#22 While I'm not overly familiar with any of the Zelda games these days, I still like this picture because Pinkie is ADORABLE!! <3
#23 Awww, such a cute Applejack picture! I love the holly on her mane and tail hairbands; such a nice touch! ^.^
#26 Oh my Goddess, this is just perfect. Now why didn't I think of this!?
#28 Eeep, fabulous picture! <3 This is definitely one of my favorites that I've seen from John Joseco recently; I just LOVE Rarity's expression! Upside-down crown and all, she is definitely Best Pony. <3
#30 Yes, artist name-controversy aside, I really do love this picture. While I'm not quite sure how or why Applejack actually consented to dress up in that outfit she looks darling, and Rarity has taken Western-wear to a whole new level as I only could have expected from her. Love it!
#33 Adorable little capture of the two sisters here, and done in such a soft, delicate style too. Very sweet and pretty picture, I love it.
#35 Seinfeld has now been crossed over with ponies... I'd like to say my life is now complete. This picture is fantastic and somehow, Octavia and Vinyl make it even funnier.
#36 I really liked this picture a lot until I noticed the whip in Rarity's mouth... that kind of spoiled it for me I'm afraid. But it still is a nicely-made piece of art... I like the artist's style.
#37 Multi-generational stained-glass window! How sweet is that, nicely done!
All in all, a most fabulous Drawfriend today. I'm happy I was able to see and comment on it! - December 19, 2011 at 3:36 PM
- Harwick said...
First off, I really like the sleigh ride banner. Big Mac is a great brother to do that for Applejack and her pals.
Now, onto the Drawfriend proper!
1) A great, warm Christmas image... Lots of nice touches, and I love the inclusion of all of the pets. Twilight is maybe a tad full of herself with that star though... Nah, who am I kidding... I want one for my own tree. Love the cutiemark decorations and rainbow lights.
2) These two will provide a lot of entertainment for many Drawfriends to come.
3) I lose track of my Wonderbolts, but whichever one that is, I really like the image. And I'm not really a shipping guy.
4) Haa! I love Fluttershy's face most of all.
5) That is just painfully cute. Applebloom should come with a heart warning.
6) Well, She's living up to his name with that sound. Octavia better not catch him.
7) I don't know if Twilight has the cred to pull off that look...
8) Apparently poor Luna was marked "do not open until Christmas", because she's still here.
9) I do love the mysterious epic story that is being hinted at by all of these pictures. I desperately want to read it, and yet I kind of hope I never get to and it just keeps generating maddeningly intriguing images.
10) HA! Oh, man, I could not help but smile ear to ear looking at this one. That is a great Fluttershy.
11) A really nicely drawn Nightmare Moon. It captures her personality well.
12) Lovely shading on the Doctor. Nice portrait.
13) Bubbles is such a sad story about such a happy Pegasus. I loved her little wave to the audience last episode.
14) Twilight is like a snowball magnet at this point, even though it was Dash and Rarity who took 'em to the face last episode. Nice village scene!
15) I always liked that quote, and it goes so well with ponies.
16) Wow... that is one epic rendering of the most powerful trio in Equestria! Really stunning in the details, and keeping its own unique style. Quite impressed!
17) Twilight continues the humiliation conga int he background of these great character portraits. Reall like this Rarity... and Spike, of course. - December 19, 2011 at 3:38 PM
- Harwick said...
18) Cool shading and coloring, and I admit I always enjoy naming anything with "Scoota-" in front of it. I see Lyra's been giving sitting lessons.
19) People love this combination of Fluttershy and Skyrim. I'm not going to argue... Fluttershy is good in anything.
20) A steampunk Celestia is a new one for me... Fancy of a cup of tea? Love her hat, and her brass horn.
21) Some Princessly plot you have there, Celestia. Showing off the wings as well, I see.
22) Pinkie Zelda is pretty cute.
23) I like these cheerful DAys of Christmas pictures. And I always like a good AJ.
24) A fine picture, but Twi-Dash always surprises me. I guess I can see it by the logic of it seems so unlikely that naturally some must go the "opposites attract" route.
25) Pinkie's inflated head makes me laugh. Nice swirls on the balloon and clouds especially.
26) A Harry Potter reference, I take it? That ghostly Celestia is going to kick ass.
27) She's got a bazooka, and I don't think she's afraid to use it.
28) I loved Rarity's dignified exit with her upside down crown.
29) Is that a Trixie Rincewind? I like the luggage...
30) Quite fancy for Applejack. Love the pompadour pony in the background.
31) I've had dreams like that Derpy... you never get to eat the muffin in them.
32) That is an awesomely sweet hood on Luna. Seriously, I love that design for some reason.
33) A really wonderful little holiday scene... So nicely colored and shaded, and just a heartwarming image. Great job!
34) Puddinghead! Between Pinkie and Harley Quinn, I love zany characters that make Puddin' references.
35) Well, of course she does Scratch. She's not an animal. Well, she kind of is... but still.
36) Oh my. As much as I loved the riding scene, I knew it would come to this. However, this really is a great rendering, so if it was going to be done I'm glad it was this epic.
37) Is that every generation of MLP in stained glass together? What a clever idea... really well done.
This was a top notch Drawfriend... So many great pieces tonight! Thanks as always to the wonderfully talented artist and the always charming and dedicated EQD staff for sharing these with everyone. - December 19, 2011 at 3:38 PM

This Drawfriend is Absolutely fantasic.
#1: Classical
#5: D'aww
#19: While I enjoy Skyrim references why is is that Fluttershy is the only one used as Dovahkiin? We get it already she wouldn't shout loudly and she's scared of Dragons. Give Twilight a helmet and let's get the real show going.
#23: I really love that art direction
#24: My favorite
#26: Wait what's this supposed to... Oh I get it now. Clever.
#36: Okay I'll admit. I like this one. - December 19, 2011 at 3:48 PM
- Harwick said...
@Olivier 'LuaPineapple' Hamel
Soarin was my first guess, but I didn't want to get it wrong and I was too lazy to look him up to verify the cutie mark. I have to keep reminding myself that they look so different in and out of costume.
Still love the Wonderbolt scarfs, and Soarin has an excellent cutie mark. I'd wear that scarf without hesitation. - December 19, 2011 at 3:49 PM

I hope that wasn't a Freudian slip...
She's not random; Megan was a major character in the first MLP show. I'm sorry that the artist's inclusion of her has bothered you enough to affect your opinion of the drawing. - December 19, 2011 at 5:09 PM
- Kyronea said...
@sup-broIt's suppose to be Lauren Faust, I'm assuming.
But anyway, a nicely awesome assortment. Number eight is a repeat, though, and number thirty-six PROBABLY deserves a saucy tag.
Number fifteen especially has a message that I think needs to be repeated time and again. There are few things C.S. Lewis said that I can agree with, but this? This is most assuredly one of them. - December 19, 2011 at 5:24 PM

#29 Trixie as Rincewind? Not sure she's the best fit, but then we don't really have a cowardly unicorn obsessed with potatoes, so I'll quite happily settle for the reference as-is. ^^

I'm fairly certain that the source for #30, ahem "NiggerFaggot", is a reference to one Yogpod, in which either Simon or Lewis is asked if he would date a woman named Grunthilda Niggerfaggot.

There is too much awesome in this Drawfriend. I don't know where to start. The stained glass window... Helium Pinkie... The Rarities... The Heroes of Equestria in the lava field... Doctor Whoof, Fluttershy, Derpy's bubbles, the Park Bench Scootasnooze.
Just amazing. - December 19, 2011 at 6:14 PM

29 may not be the best piece (with this drawfriend that's like trying to pick which jewel in a trove is brightest) but any Discworld at all is me happy.
Need more Discworld ponies.
Otherwise, the imagines are just incredible. To indulge myself in parousing it, astounded by the quality and variety you artist all deploy - Thank you all! Even, um.. Nggfgg..

- jodyjm13 said...
There's been quite a few people expressing their displeasure over that artist's pseudonym; while normally I don't believe in censoring anyone, in this case I think @mycutiemarkisagun has the right idea in throwing a few *** over that artist's pseudonym.
As repellant as that pseudonym is, I tend to think it wasn't chosen as a reflection of the artist's racism and homophobia, but for some other reason (@play freebird probably has it right). Unless we find out that the artist has been advocating a revival of Jim Crow laws or the establishment of concentration camps for gays, I think we should judge his artwork solely on its own merits in deciding whether to display it in a drawfriend. Showing a non-objectionable picture from an artist with an objectionable name shows, at worst, a lapse in taste in not censoring/disguising the name, but showing a Sweetie Poo picture implies acceptance of that particular fetish. - December 19, 2011 at 9:52 PM

#1 Yet another Christmas card-worthy picture here. For crying out loud Angel, cheer up already. It's the holidays.
#4 Not sure of the reference, but CHARGE!!
#5 Anything with AJ and Apple Bloom always reminds me of my sister and myself. I can totally relate to these two. Adorable.
#6 Well, classical music can fit in just about anywhere, no?
#10 I just can't tell what Fluttershy is reacting too. Something tells me she just saw something completely oddball.
#13 Such a beautiful picture despite the sad nature of the fanfic it's based on.
#14 All that's left here is for them to whip out their songsheets and start chanting holiday tunes right there.
#15 I just can't possibly say something that will do this quote justice. It completely fits into our fandom.
#18 Haha. Rainbow's going "Lyra" on us. Joking aside, this is such a sweet scene.
#23 Oh boy. Apple pie on a cold day. Win!!
#25 Oh, Pinkie! LOL
#31 Resistance is futile, muffin!

okay everypony, calm down. we all know that bronies started on /co on 4chan and leapt over to /b for a time. being called a niggerfaggot is about as normal as you get on /b. that artist is probably an older b/tard that happens to be a brony. his name is a hail back to the old days of the b/ board when it was trying to be so over the top that it was a parody of hatred and vice, when it was for fun and to be funny, not because it was how you really felt.
my goodness, i am really dating myself right now. but that's ok, no one else would. - December 19, 2011 at 11:11 PM

#16: Wooaaaahhhh! Kewl!

Ponies... Is there nothing you can't do...
And then the world was a better place... At least 20% better.
#20: Steampunk Celestia... You win all my tubes, cuz, the internet is a series of tubes.
#21: /)O♓O(\ Dat flank!
#24: Whatevs to the ones who don't care for this stuff... this is genuinely cute.
#25: Um... just how high up ARE they... cause Pinkie Pie looks like her eyes are about to vacuum themselves out into space... Oh wait... it's just Pinkie!
#30: Not the most tasteful name... but it's not something that indicates blind racism or homophobia. It's a very specific reference to a rather famous comedy skit that depicts a spelling bee. The man announcing the participant's words is a black man, who announces THAT word. The participants have great trouble proceeding, asking for definitions, synonyms, meanings, original pronunciation (Oh. My. Dear. Luna! /)O_o(\ That part!). Each participant can't spell it, and the man disqualifies them. The last participant blows through it as fast as she can, just to get it over with... only to have the black guy step up to her and say "I heard what you said".
It's a reference to a comedy sketch, and nothing more. Also, cute AJ and Rarity there!
#36: This is... /)O♓O(\ Umm... Twi, it looks like she's ready for that pony back ride.
#37: is so much epic awesome! This is the only time G3 will ever be awesome! LOL!!! G1 wasn't bad. Seriously bronies... Give the better known G1 content a try. It's the foundation that G4 stands upon. - December 20, 2011 at 2:25 AM

I'm also quite ticked off at myself for taking 3 days to catch up with my past due Drawfriends...
It looks like I missed quite the manure storm. I'm talking Lesson Zero level crazy idiocy.
The Subway Faust Pony (Drawfriend 278, Dec 17, #18) was cute and weird, but totally clean and work safe... And everyone who got it sent to the moon can go do something to themselves with a $5 foot long. I'll leave my REAL post back in that Drawfriend's comments... I have words for you haters back there.

If you're saying the artist's pseudonym should have been censored, I'll agree with you; if you're saying his art shouldn't have been posted at all because of his pseudonym, I'll have to disagree.
Having never seen the Sweetie Poo image, I can't comment on whether it was a "sexual" fetish image, but at a minimum I don't see how it could have avoided being extremely disrespectful to the character and the show. - December 20, 2011 at 10:09 AM

21) For some reason my first thought was "Wait a sec, she's naked." I guess the lack of the crown and such really make a difference.

#30 Ok here's what I think what happened: Applejacks apple bucking as usually, but one of the apples falls directly on her head, causing her to believe shes her Manehattan self.
