Ashleigh Ball Signed Up For BroNYCon!
BroNYCon is going to be FLOODED with big names. I can't believe how open the team behind this show is. Purple Tinker once again has a whole bunch of awesome news for you, including the big announcement of Ashleigh Ball (Applejack and Rainbow Dash) signing up to attend!
Anyway, check out the full writeup below!
Note: The new episode will be shown at the convention, you won't miss it. It's actually 100% cooler watching it with 300+ people anyway.
It is with great pleasure that we announce a last-minute Guest of Honour for BroNYCon January 2012, the wonderfully talented Ms. Ashleigh Ball, voice of Rainbow Dash and Applejack! In addition to voicing two of the Mane Six, Ms. Ball is a talented musician (heading the band Hey Ocean) and a seasoned voice actress. Her IMDB entry can be seen at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1868320/ .
Ms. Ball joins her previously-announced MLP:FiM costars Ms. Andrea Libman (Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy) and Ms. Nicole Oliver (Princess Celestia, Cheerilee) on our VA panel.
But that's not all. We're also adding a number of additional special features to the convention, including:
* A special appearance, via Skype, by PinkiePieSwear at our Musicians' Panel!
* A demo/appearance from the staff of The Fiends From Dream Valley!
* An appearance by the good ponies from EverFree Radio!
* A possible special surprise from the creators of 'Epic Cupcake Time'!
Plus, good news! Due to the huge number of special features we're adding to the con, we're extending the length of the whole convention by an hour or so! (The final schedule will be posted soon.) Even more amazing pony entertainment for your bits!
So, what are you waiting for? Go to http://www.meetup.com/Bronies-NYC/events/24366841/ and RSVP today!
Further information on BroNYCon is available on the official website at www.bronycon.org.
In the spirit of friendship,
Purple Tinker

Let's see.....Skype chat with PinkiePieSwear over at the music part, an appearance from the voice actor of my favorite pony (Applejack), and alongside that being a musician herself. Wohoo!!
And much, much more?! It's more than my heart can handle..... - December 18, 2011 at 9:00 PM

As a request from your friend Wikipedia MLPFIM editor:
Those with cameras, if you could please get nice pictures of all the special guests and upload them to Flickr or Commons @ Wikepedia, we can visualize these articles betters with the people behind it (That's how we have Jayson and Sethiso on the main article at Wikipedia). - December 18, 2011 at 9:01 PM
- Convicium said...
Aw man, the voice of the great Rainbow Dash herself is going to be there? I wish I could go.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:02 PM
- Flutterfan said...
So glad she's attending. I guess that means her voice problems weren't serious.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:02 PM
- Renfield said...
I envy those lucky lucky LUCKY bronies who get to go.
Darn the powerlessness to get a decent US visa! - December 18, 2011 at 9:03 PM
- Purple Tinker said...
@XyroTR1 THE EPISODE IS GOING TO BE SHOWN AT THE CON! Fear not.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:04 PM
- Lightning Delight said...
Every time I see an announcement like this, it makes me sad that I can't go.
Then I go watch ponies and cheer myself up. - December 18, 2011 at 9:04 PM

I guess i'll be eating a royal Jelly sandwitch for dinner...

And even better: watching the episode with all these pony celebs! - December 18, 2011 at 9:05 PM
- Travis Smith said...
Why!! If I could meet her, my life would be complete...
She rocks(so does Rainbow) and Hey Ocean isn't bad
Still to far... - December 18, 2011 at 9:05 PM
- Pat1711 said...
I wish this was in California. DARN MY CURRENT LIMITED CASH FLOW, GRRRR.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:06 PM
- Calnos said...
Now just get Tara Strong and Tabitha St. Germain and we'll have the whole Mane Six!
- December 18, 2011 at 9:08 PM
- Travis Smith said...
Wonder how much it would cost to hold the con in Columbia? Or maybe Charlotte - December 18, 2011 at 9:09 PM
- Flutterfan said...
So Andrea and Ashleigh? That's four out of the Mane6 ponies!
- December 18, 2011 at 9:10 PM
- SoGGy said...
Nice! My favorite VA from the show. I didn't know she did Junebug.

Stupid university, why did the winter semester have to happen while something fun is going on?
- December 18, 2011 at 9:13 PM
- DJGaugen said...
@Steve Jobs
I wish there were some conventions in Chicago, then I would totally go to one. NY is just too far for me. - December 18, 2011 at 9:14 PM
- TnAdct1 said...
As fun as it sounds, I'm gonna have to miss it due to distance and the fact that it's happening the same weekend as Magfest :(
- December 18, 2011 at 9:14 PM
- jodyjm13 said...
Oh sure, just make me more disappointed that I can't come. ;P
Seriously, this sounds like a great con, and I hope all who're able to go have a great time, and the guests have an even better time. - December 18, 2011 at 9:14 PM
- gillnavisingh said...
I hope everypony has fun!
Don't forget to stop off at Lombardi's on 32 Spring Street (Best NY Pizza I've ever had...) - December 18, 2011 at 9:16 PM
- InFamous Spartan said...
i have the most important question there is to ask if somepony gonna go to BroNYCon.
is someone going to record the whole thing? idc if its atlease hrs long since i'll take the pleasure of watching it all from start to finish from this awesome event :D - December 18, 2011 at 9:17 PM
- Aquillion said...
crap. Someone needs to stream this or something, for the people who can't attend.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:18 PM
- AuroraDawn said...
I wish I could make it to BroNYcon.
Alas, I live in Alberta, and cannot travel such a distance on my dime ;_; - December 18, 2011 at 9:19 PM
- Raven said...
You should GO! GO FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT! Seriously. Nopony will blame ya. Well, I wont. lol - December 18, 2011 at 9:21 PM
- Octavia said...
That's cool. Eh, I won't be there unfortunately. Wish I could be, but it's just too much for me to spend right now. But I hope anyone who's going have a good time.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:21 PM
- Abjuron said...
I shall just have to have faith in you NYC bronies with digital video cameras, and then live vicariously though you several days later.
It sounds like it'll be SO! AWESOME! - December 18, 2011 at 9:22 PM
- Dawnmist said...
This makes me 200% more guilty that I can't go to BroNYcon. - December 18, 2011 at 9:26 PM
- Incorporatedstates said...
Steve Jobs gets a post, but not Kim Jong-Il?
xD - December 18, 2011 at 9:28 PM
- Flutterboss said...
Even if I could manage to get the money to go all the way to New York, MAGFest just happens to be going on that same weekend. Maybe if I'm lucky I will be able to go to the next Summer event or something though.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:29 PM
- Ahau said...
My god, BroNYcon just keeps getting better and better.
Yet you people complaining you live in the opposite side of the country, try picturing living in the other side of the FREAKING PLANET. Let's just hope there are good videos of the convention afterwards.
And XyroTR1, you have the time and means to go, but you will stay just to make the stream and give us that weekend's episode? DUDE, ALL MY RESPECT. - December 18, 2011 at 9:29 PM
- ilovebagelz said...
Looks like Bronycon is gonna be awesome!
Wish I could be there.
Wonder what it's going to be like next year...
Imagine... - December 18, 2011 at 9:35 PM
- ItsOkImAwesome said...
This depresses me. You guys better videotape EVERYTHING and upload this entire event on YouTube so the rest of us who can't go can enjoy it :)
- December 18, 2011 at 9:37 PM
- Rubidia said...
I would totally move to the United States just for this con... but alas, I am but a poor college student yet to even find a job... ugh... So. Jealous.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:39 PM
- CityFlyer502 said...
@gillnavisingh Forget? It should be mandatory. Hands down, the best pizza ever. Pizza Hut and all the other chains can just suck it.
I needed a push to RSVP for this, and this was it. So psyched! Probably won't sleep the night before. - December 18, 2011 at 9:40 PM
- Travis Smith said...
Wait Kim Jong II died?
When was this?
*goes to news*
Oh - December 18, 2011 at 9:41 PM
- CityFlyer502 said...
And I will be snapping pictures like crazy during this. Just hope my camera can keep up.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:41 PM
- val_heart said...
This is cool and all but I certainly hope that the attendees can control themselves. I'm not sure what happened with Applebloom's VA's youtube (can't remember her name) but it seems fan related. The fans need to control themselves because not all forms attention is welcome or appropriate even if it was asked for.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:41 PM
- CptAfroMan said...
Why do these Conventions always have to be on the East Coast.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:43 PM
- AJTheEngineer said...
I'm proud to represent such a great musicians panel. This is gonna be fantastic.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:44 PM
- Pav Feira said...
Sweet Celestia this thing will be awesome. Can't wait!
- December 18, 2011 at 9:50 PM
- Shiranai said...
I agree that the last thing we want is for the staff and cast of the show to think of Bronies as creeps.
I'm not sure what happened with Applebloom's VA, but it is a shame if some of the fans made her feel uncomfortable after she went to the trouble of posting a video for the community to enjoy. - December 18, 2011 at 9:53 PM
- RagingPony said...
Why must BroNYcon have to be at the other side of the country!?!?
I want to go SOOO bad but I can't take the trip over there - December 18, 2011 at 9:54 PM
- EonMaster said...
I demand that these panels get recorded so that us who cant attend BroNYCon can still see them.
- December 18, 2011 at 9:55 PM
- SunsetSprinkles said...
Gah feel so envious for the bronies who get to go...
- December 18, 2011 at 9:55 PM
- A Bard said...
It didn't have anything to do with the fans. Apparently, she needed to get Hasbro's permission. It was mentioned in the last Nightly Roundup. - December 18, 2011 at 10:00 PM
- Stijl Letrans said...
@Val_Heart: The issue with the Applebloom / Sweetie Belle video wasn't at all fan related. The video was taken down until Hasbro gives permission to repost it (at least according to Everfree Radio, reposting an email).
And man, this is seriously tempting me to attend more and more. I even have free flight tickets to redeem... - December 18, 2011 at 10:02 PM
- Taunt said...
Why do I feel like I want to go, but too cheap to do so. ;-;
- December 18, 2011 at 10:09 PM
- Nämahs said...
Wow, major props Purple Tinker, the lineup of special guests are amazing. That's nothing short of impressive.
I hope some people get footage of all the main panels. I was a little disappointed at how little video came out of the last BroNYcon. There were lots of picture, which was great, but some nice YouTube uploads of the special guest talks would be really great for the other ~50,000 bronies that won't be there. - December 18, 2011 at 10:10 PM
- ponyvangelist said...
Libman, Oliver AND Ball together? Holy smackerel!
And here I am stuck on the other side of the country. :-/ - December 18, 2011 at 10:15 PM
- Autumn Spice said...
Everfree radio is so excited to go.
I'll be one of them there! And now so many VAs! This will be awesome! - December 18, 2011 at 10:17 PM
- Murkrow said...
see you guys there! ill be walking around with a blue pony hanging around my neck, along with a friend from Everfree Radio (not telling who :D)
- December 18, 2011 at 10:20 PM

@Autumn Spice
YE DAMN RIGHT WE SHALL BE THERE >:D *notsosecretanymorelol* - December 18, 2011 at 10:21 PM
- lamebunny said...
Oh sure, twist the dagger further. If you want me I'll be in the corner with my Celestia cursing my Minnesota living and no money.
- December 18, 2011 at 10:32 PM
- BronifiedOtaku said...
I'm feeling mass amounts of sadness right now, because it's December, I'm in Australia and I don't think I'd be able to get the money for round trip air tickets and tickets to go to BroNYcon
And the worst part is...MY FAVOURITE VOICE ACTOR WILL BE THERE!!! T_T - December 18, 2011 at 11:15 PM

WHY MUST I LIVE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE WORLD!!! D:< - December 18, 2011 at 11:16 PM

Really wish I could go but alas I can't so I extend a congratulatory handshake to all those who can.
- December 18, 2011 at 11:20 PM
- Pyrobug said...
...I wonder how much a plane ticket to New York costs...
- December 18, 2011 at 11:22 PM
- Sombreon said...
I would LOVE to attend but.... it's so far away and I'm brohohooke. *super sad face*
Will someone please, please, PLEEEASE do a video recording for us non-attenders. Share your recordings so that we may experience some of the sheer delight and awesomeness that will transpire over at the convention center. I would very VERY much appreciate it if we got some footage of the rally. - December 18, 2011 at 11:33 PM

We're trying to finagle livestreaming of the event.

Ah crap, now I regret living in Europe even more!
- December 18, 2011 at 11:48 PM
- Shortymainia said...
Of course I would have to live just outside affordable means of getting there, and the time when friendly rides won't do it....
- December 18, 2011 at 11:54 PM
- Ctone said...
Ah, it kills me to see these posts because I want to go so bad.
Hope the livestream deal works out, it will be the next best thing I guess. - December 19, 2011 at 12:01 AM
- P.Slater said...
Ashleigh Ball will be there? OMG!!!
One day I hope to meet her in person. Applejack is best pony! - December 19, 2011 at 12:08 AM
- Jordan said...
Everybody take lots of pictures (especially of the voice actresses!) and shoot lots of video (especially of the VA interviews!) so that those of us who can't go (me) can still experience it from our bedrooms! (Or what/wherever)
- December 19, 2011 at 12:14 AM
- Eric said...
Has Tabitha St. Germain attended any pony events before? There's youtube clips of all the VA's except for her...
Which makes me sad since Rarity is best pony - December 19, 2011 at 12:32 AM
- Dawid said...
@XyroTR1 Ideeeea! Bring your equipment along! Record at broNYcon! Just find some super high-speed internet to upload (I'm sure some NY bronies have high-speed lines). I would happily wait an hour for the episode if it meant somepony extra could attend broNYcon. ^.^
unrelatedly, Google Chrome has the following 'correct' spellings of "broNYcon":
bronzing - December 19, 2011 at 12:49 AM
- Flutterfan said...
I don't know why everyone always assumes the worst in their fellow Bronies.
Like the Ashleigh Ball youtube video, where there was a perfectly nice encounter and ppl made comments about how she was creeped out.
She clearly isn't creeped out by Bronies since she's attending the convention. I wish people wouldn't get so paranoid.
Yeah there was that unfortunate incident with Andrea Libman panel but that proabably wasn't a brony asking. - December 19, 2011 at 2:37 AM
- Flutterfan said...
In the iTunes interview Seth posted a a couple of weeks ago Tabitha noted she doesn't attend conventions. Which is sad, but that interview was years ago so maybe she changed her mind. - December 19, 2011 at 2:38 AM
- Ulrik said...
I wanted to do everything to be there especially with the voice behind my favorite pony Applejack.
- December 19, 2011 at 2:43 AM
- Mike said...
Ashleigh? the VA that strained her vocal cords? If so, I hope this means she's better.
- December 19, 2011 at 2:58 AM
- Mike said...
@Purple Tinker
A historic moment, and hopefully a game changer for North Korea. - December 19, 2011 at 3:01 AM
- Asteron said...
You put the wrong pony in the picture. The correct one is, of course, Rainbow Dash, the only pony to ever pull off two sonic rainbooms and an atomic rainbomb.
- December 19, 2011 at 3:06 AM
- Thesplat151 said...
The more i hear about this convention, the more i wish it was possible for me to go.... =(
- December 19, 2011 at 3:23 AM
- Shantara said...
Why do I have to live half a world away from all the awesome things to happen? :( I can only hope someone will livestream this.
- December 19, 2011 at 4:46 AM
- Heartmend said...
According to Voiceprint with Trevor Devall back in March of 2008, when Tabitha St. Germain was Trevor's guest, Tabitha didn't seem interested in doing the convention thing.
It's a shame, really, because I think she's hilarious. Seriously, look up the podcast. She's very silly (which is awesome). :D - December 19, 2011 at 5:38 AM
- Wolfmane said...
I wish I didn't have to do an international flight to reach NY. I want to go so badly T_T

Some pony please stream this for those who can't make it. I'd love to see one of the bigger meetups.
- December 19, 2011 at 8:18 AM

@ShortymainiaWhere you from? We probably have people coming from there who you could carpool with.

Getting there early the day before to site see, hoping to make a trip to Rockefeller Center.
- December 19, 2011 at 10:09 AM
- ALazyFriend said...
But but most of the animators and voice actors are based right here in Vancouver, Canada....why can't we ever get a convention like BroNYCon? =( oh well I guess I'll have to wait for it on Youtube.
- December 19, 2011 at 10:22 AM
- Nykkes64 said...
The BroNYCon will be one of the most anticipated show for the My little Pony fans since July's Comic Con 2011. I Can't wait for the actual BroNYCon to happen in January!!!! ^_^

@AuroraDawn Hey, fellow Albertan! Yeah, I'm not going for the same reasons. Travel to the US in general is prohibitive, never mind also adding in traveling across the continent.:(

This is gonna be so huge. How I wish Twilight Sparkle had taught me that teleport spell last time I visited T_T
- December 19, 2011 at 1:49 PM
- Saburo said...
To anyone going to BronyCon, please see if you can request Nicole Oliver, Andrea Libman and Ashleigh Ball to have Princess Celestia pull a light hearted prank on Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
- December 19, 2011 at 2:21 PM
- XyroTR1 said...
@Purple Tinker
Unfortunately, I still have to send it to the YouTubes, which requires me to be stuck to my computer for a few hours. - December 19, 2011 at 7:25 PM
- Curttehmurt said...
to think I was almost disappointed that I couldn't go to MAGFest that weekend, this is totally gonna be way better
- December 19, 2011 at 9:31 PM
- vulpix said...
Thanks to this post, I have spent the last twenty-four hours in total agony. I love Ashleigh Ball, and my initial reaction was that I must go to BroNYcon to see her. Technically, I have the time and the money to do it.
However, the hotel and plane would cost me nearly a thousand bucks--no small change for me--plus I'd have to accommodate my work schedule around this thing. I literally couldn't sleep last night because I've been trying to figure out if it would be worth it.
After all that agonizing, I've decided that it's just too last-minute and too expensive for me. However, I'm holding out hope that Ashleigh Ball will return to a future BroNYcon.
Fellow bronies, please be kind to her. I hope she has a nice enough experience at January's BroNYcon that she will want to return another time. - December 19, 2011 at 10:16 PM
- Rikachuu said...
Totally know how you feel. I'd have the option to stay with a few different friend in NYC, but I don't have a job at the moment and really shouldn't be spending a month's worth of rent on a plane ticket.. as much as I want to meet Ashleigh Ball.
I might possibly be at the con via Skype for the Epic Cupcake Time stuff, but that's not good enoooough ): - December 20, 2011 at 12:53 PM
- Ricardo Griva said...
I´m from Argentina and I´m making some plans to travel to the USA just to go to this event. So USA get ready yourself because here I come.

Product Backstory
STAPs (Single Trooper Aerial Platforms) are lightweight reconnaissance and patrol vehicles used by the Trade Federation army. Incorporating repulsorlift technology, the STAP is a slim, agile craft piloted by a single B1 battle droid. Sporting a pair of blaster cannons and an open design, STAPs rely on their speed and agility to dodge enemy fire and are often deployed as support vehicles in conjunction with larger craft.Product Reviews
Super Cool
I just love the detail on the STAP, my Anakin Clone Wars looks GREAT on it. I wish I had picked up one more of these, just for the STAP, but I am glad I was able to get one. If you can get one, you won't be disappointed. Great Job Sideshow! :)

Beautiful set of images this week.
#12 made me chuckle when I saw it on DA earlier today. - July 31, 2011 at 4:13 PM
why is Fluttershy on a unicycle, and why do I love it?
Oh, and #25 is adorable - July 31, 2011 at 4:15 PM

Really like the Twilight and Celestia piece by Joseco, and the Derpy in #18 is fantastic. All in all another amazing drawfriend!

#8: We need clips of Dash dancing... We need to make her a pmv with Saturday Night Fever!

Something about dancing dash and Fluttershy on a unicycle strikes me as hilariously funny.
Also 26,28,22 and 13 are cute. 1,18 and 29 are very nice looking. (i'd be here for years if i wrote about all the ones i liked, which is good when i think about it.) - July 31, 2011 at 4:29 PM
#1 is either a strange recreation of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, or a reference to a comment on My Little Brony. Or, it was a completely original idea that turned out so incredibly epic that no words can describe it.
Great drawfriend, Seth.

#26 Dammit stop making me like that ship, it has issues and doesn't match up with my view of their relationship at all. Johnjoseco just makes it so cute though...

#1: All hail our conquering queen, Rarity! Bow before her fabulous army of gemstone-studded ponyquins!
#4: Cute dress
#6: She's a chicken, not a bunny! .. did I just...? Argh.
#19: Derpy! don't give in to the sock fad! You're memetic enough on your own!
#21: I love the giant muffin in the corner there.
#28: Just cute.
#30: Bravo for trying something new Fluttershy! - July 31, 2011 at 4:32 PM
- FaLiStaff said...
I wonder what was going through the head of the artist for that brilliant #1?

#8: If this is what "Saturday Night Fever" is really like, I suppose I could stand to see it.
#12: "I hated that fabric before it was dumb."
Aaaaaaand >inb4 unicycles become the new socks. - July 31, 2011 at 4:36 PM
- Bugsydor said...
#1: Instead of a Nightmare, we shall have a queen! Glorious as the dawn, and sensuous as the sea. All shall love her and despair.
Seriously, that pic is going straight into my /)^3^(\ category. - July 31, 2011 at 4:38 PM
26: *deep breath* Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Also, blegh.jpg in reaction to #10. Luna is pretty as ever but... an abacus pony? Ugh. That needs to be modified into Luna hugging Fluttershy or somepony else, quick.
- July 31, 2011 at 4:41 PM
How is luna holding that wii-mote, why is fluttershy on a unicycle? So many questions...
- July 31, 2011 at 4:46 PM
- Punchline said...
I believe that scootaloo isnt a chicken and that Rd is John travolta....even sweetie belle being a hipster, but i have to call bullshit on rarity being a good sister
- July 31, 2011 at 4:49 PM
- Arcane Scroll said...
5. Soooo cute!
6. Silly Scootaloo, you're not a bunny, you a chicken!
8: LMAO, too classic, I love it.
17. Join the club, can't stand her.
18. Too pretty, one of my favorites of her!
28. This one cracks me up, very beautiful too.
30. And this one confuses me, in a good way. I miss my unicycle, I used to love ridding it. - July 31, 2011 at 4:55 PM
- D. Shadows said...
1. Roll out the red carpet of... FASHION WARS!
6. Well at least it wasn't a chicken costume Scootabun.
8. Disco, disco Dash! She's going to be a macho- mare.
9. Even Gummy is smart enough not to mess with Poison Joke.
10. Shippers will ship and if they are trying to ship an inaminate object... they'll turn it into a pony.
11. Oh my goddess she killed Flour! You Pinkie!
14. Doing what ponies do best, look beautiful while being brushed.
16. Agh, Gem Farm Spiders! Wait a minute... don't they take care of flies for the ponies?
18. The queen of the muffins is beautiful.
19. Aww... and I wanted to see her put muffins on her hooves. Hope she doesn't suffocate herself while be adorable.
20. One quick trip to Japony.
21. She found the Muffin Hoard! She's the happiest mare alive.
22. Sad Luna is sad.
24. Derpy's samurai showdown!
30. Do I even want to know why she's learning to use a unicycle? If anything this is something you'd expect from Pinkie or if Applejack felt like doing something silly. - July 31, 2011 at 5:01 PM
- TenchiFreak5 said...
#8? Fund it!
I don't care whether it is supposed to be John Travolta or Disco Stu. Get that shit done Hasbro. - July 31, 2011 at 5:01 PM
What makes me a good demomare?
One good eye, at you I stare! - July 31, 2011 at 5:03 PM
- Colasaurus said...
12. Hipster Sweetie Belle, omg that's hilarious.
17. I always thought it was such a shame that Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara were so awful, I love their colour schemes. - July 31, 2011 at 5:08 PM
Interesting choice for Demo-pony. That actually kind of works.
- July 31, 2011 at 5:09 PM
Ahm drunk, you dont have an excuse!
So take those hooves
and put em to use!
Throw the stickies, throw the pipes,
the smiles they wear shall all be wiped!
So cock-sure, so bloody proud,
they wont be when they're up in the clouds!
You have encountered a serious error, and must shut down to prevent further damage to your mind. - July 31, 2011 at 5:17 PM
#12 Cutie marks are too mainstream. And even if she did have one, you probably would've never heard of it anyway.
#30 Looks like me when I was learning to ride a unicycle. Though I didn't have the flowing mane... - July 31, 2011 at 5:23 PM
- Tenortrouble said...
Picture number 11 is so morbid! Pinkamena going Cupcakes on of Madame Le'Flour is WAY too graphic to be posted in these sorts of compilations! At least censor it a little or give a warning!
- July 31, 2011 at 5:27 PM
- blitzthedragon said...
The title art looks like what would happen if Rarity was designed by Dio. God, I miss him.
- July 31, 2011 at 5:27 PM
- Arcesious said...
I'm gonna try my hand at editing #10 into Luna hugging Fluttershy... Though, I am no artist...
- July 31, 2011 at 5:30 PM
- Stargazer said...
Such incredible art I see right before me.
18 stole my heart though... You know, Ditzy/Derpy is pretty cute when you think about it... - July 31, 2011 at 5:35 PM
- Inivonwini said...
The top one is so much insanity! Daaang! Also love John Joseco's painting this week- he's a real master
- July 31, 2011 at 5:35 PM
- Bloop said...
While Number One is probably beyond interpretation, I kind of thought it was interesting that there was an anti-unicorn sign on the ground to the left and that all the mannequins had daggers where a horn might go.
Seems to suggest Rarity is fighting against an uprising by the Earth and Pegasus ponies to keep down the unicorns. - July 31, 2011 at 5:40 PM
Poor Pinkie. How does she get herself into a situation where she has to murder and cut up one of her friends to make (normal) cupcakes?
- July 31, 2011 at 5:45 PM
- Matrilwood said...
#4 She looks hot... No... Literally.
#19 This sock thing is getting a little out of hand. - July 31, 2011 at 5:48 PM
#18 It's nice but I can't think of anything witty to say. - July 31, 2011 at 6:04 PM
#23 - Finally the Wii gets some attention. I wonder if she's playing Brawl?
- July 31, 2011 at 6:10 PM
Hidden image in #13 is nightmare moon in the tree? and in #30, it's a human figure in the tree to the left.
- July 31, 2011 at 6:14 PM
- JakandRatchet79 said...
#1 rules. I don't really get it, but it's bad-ass anyway.
- July 31, 2011 at 6:25 PM
- Octavia said...
#1 That piece certainly has a "wow" factor. Very beautifully done. Not sure what's going on either in it exactly, but it certainly looks cool. lol
#4 Aww, who made Fluttershy cry? :( *hugs her* Also love the outfit.
#6 lol Cute. *insert yet another chicken not bunny comment here* ;) Also reminds me of Ralphie from A Christmas Story.
#8 Disco Dash! Disco Dash can still.. umm.. boogalash? Wat? lol
#9 Hmm, I wonder what type of silly sickness Gummy would get... he'd grow teeth? That would be silly. :)
#10 Abacus! Oh goodness, more of'em. It has Luna tho, so it's cute. :D
#11 "No, zat is not correct! Take THAT Madame LeFlour!"
#15 Yay, candies! Stretchy candies at that. Must be taffy. <3
#16 Eep! A spider! Spiders, ick. >.<
#18 Oooh, nicely drawn pic of Derpy. Nice detail. Makes Derpy look a little more physically attractive then she is usually portrayed as.
#19 Oh goodness, Derpy. You so silly and adorable. <3
#21 Happy Derpy is certainly very very happy. She truly is the Muffin Princess. :)
#22 Sad Luna pics always made me sad. :( But that just means its hug Luna time. *gives her a big hug* :D
#23 Luna is such a gamer pony.
#24 Wat? lol I like the cooky art style and perspective.
#27 Badass Zecora is being badass here.
#29 Dat shading. But seriously, this is a nice detailed piece, I like it.
#30 Careful there, Fluttershy. I'm sure she's doing way better than I would be. lol - July 31, 2011 at 6:26 PM
- HereticalRants said...
I just want to say that I was really happy when I saw that Seth posted the updated version of my picture, rather than the original :Flutteryay:
@Everyone who asked, why is Fluttershy trying to learn to unicycle? Well, I guess she must have seen Applejack doing a sweet flatland run and it just kinda went from there... - July 31, 2011 at 6:31 PM
- KShrike said...
Probably already said but...
Fluttershy is riding a tricycle. Your argument is invalid. - July 31, 2011 at 6:41 PM
The abacus pony immediately made me think of that particular noncanon Progress story. I guess Celestia couldn't talk her out of it after all...
- July 31, 2011 at 6:51 PM
- SingForTheMoon said...
OK I give up. I found the hidden image in 13, but not in 30

#10 We're going to get a shipping fic between the two of them before the end of the week.

- pmcollectorboy said...
I would actually pay good money to see Saturday Night Filly.
I suppose I could settle for the Travolta version. - July 31, 2011 at 7:21 PM
OK, even Sethisto, who likes Trixie, hates my favourite ponies...
Ain't fair. - July 31, 2011 at 7:23 PM
8. aww yeah
19. lol
23. Wii nunchuck? Luna is a casualfag - July 31, 2011 at 7:34 PM
1. OMG!!! Rarity looks like the queen of the protoss or something!.
15. And yayy for more Lyra <3. - July 31, 2011 at 7:39 PM
- Frith said...
It's cupcakes for Madame LeFlour. And pancakes, and layer cake, and maybe a few loafs of bread.
- July 31, 2011 at 7:53 PM
- WavemasterRyx said...
This world needs more Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara love! Maybe if more people loved them they wouldn't be so mean, you know?
- July 31, 2011 at 8:43 PM
Even though it makes no sense, why can't I get enough of Luna playing video games?
- July 31, 2011 at 9:20 PM
Did anyone notice the "No Nightmare Moon" Sign in #1?
I think Rarity is on the right side.
DOWN WITH TYRANT CELESTIA! - July 31, 2011 at 9:33 PM
- KYM Snowman said...
Ah, now I understand the sudden view boom on my Derpy image, that is to say, #21. I should really visit EqD more often.
- July 31, 2011 at 10:07 PM
You hate Silver Spoon?
I don't blame ya, Seth, but I believe in "Everypony equal, everypony loved." - July 31, 2011 at 10:24 PM
There can only be one thing said about # 12.
Ibelieveyouhavemystapler? - July 31, 2011 at 10:26 PM

VHS honors Henrico resident
At a special luncheon on July 18, the Virginia Historical Society (VHS) presented awards to individuals – including one from Henrico – who have made significant contributions to research, education and the mission of the society. The Patricia Rodman and Martin Kirwan King Volunteer Award, which recognizes the outstanding volunteer of the year, was awarded to Henrico resident Lee Ball, who has been volunteering in the advancement office at VHS for more than a year. A total of nine VHS awards were presented. "I've enjoyed helping the VHS staff with some of the 'behind the scenes' work needed to tell the story of Virginia and preserve its history for future generations," Ball said. "I've met many fine people, both staff and members, who've become almost like an extended family. Volunteering at the VHS has been a very positive experience." VHS President and CEO Paul Levengood said that Ball's support had been significant. "From lending a hand on bus trips, to designing spreadsheets and streamlining data entry, Lee has done a little bit of everything," Levengood said. "He comes in almost every Tuesday and Thursday, eats lunch at his desk, and is often one of the last people in the office to leave. He is a true asset to the VHS and the volunteer program." |

Announcing Guests of Honour and Guest Speakers
Hon Dr Craig Emerson MP
Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research
Minister for Trade and Competitiveness, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Asian Century Policy
AACCI is delighted to announce that Hon Dr Craig Emerson MP will be a Guest of Honour at the National Gala Dinner on 23 May, 2013. Minister Emerson will join
Hon Brendan O'Connor MP
Minister for Immigration and Citizenship
Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research
Minister for Trade and Competitiveness, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Asian Century Policy
Minister for Immigration and Citizenship
Hon Denis Napthine MP
Premier of Victoria
Mr Ahmed Fahour
Chairman, Council for Australian-Arab Relations
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Australia Post
Mr Gary Helou
Managing Director, Murray Goulburn Co-Operative
The Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AACCI) and the Australia Gulf Council (AGC) are delighted to announce that the two organisations will merge effectively immediately.
Mr Ahmed Fahour, Chair of the Council for Australia Arab Relations and Managing Director and CEO of Australia Post, described the merger as "an inspired decision which will be of benefit to Australia's economic and cultural wellbeing."
Mr Roland Jabbour, Esq .J.P., National Chairman of AACCI emphasised the importance of the Australia-Arab relationship, economically, politically and strategically.
The Arab League comprises over 400 million people over 22 country states, including Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
The Arab League is home to six of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world, making its outbound investment potential significant.
Mr Jabbour said the merger "occurs at a perfect time for both organisations who were looking to expand their regional influence, build stronger bilateral relationships and develop further linkages with small, medium and blue chip firms in Australia doing business with the MENA region. A merger between AACCI and the AGC is a strong fit with the mission and the strategic vision of both organisations."
Mr Jonathan Herps, who is the CEO of the AGC, has been appointed CEO of AACCI.
Jonathan commented "we believe that the complementary offerings of both AACCI and the AGC will deliver high-level outcomes for our partners, members and indeed Australia. We believe that we can achieve far more as one organisation than as two. The merged entity fills critical gaps in both organisations' strategy and capabilities.
Georgie Skipper, a Director of the AGC will be appointed onto the AACCI National Board as a Director and will work on AACCI's government relationships.
AACCI has been established since 1975 as a national organisation and operates across the 22 countries in the Arab League and has a network that spans Australia wide, holding events in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Sydney monthly.
Since its establishment in 2010, the AGC has worked on high level government, corporate and diplomatic tasks, securing the support of over 35 Corporate and Strategic Partners and creating the Council of Distinguished Advisers. It has run business missions to the Gulf States led by Hon Bob Hawke AC, Hon Peter Costello AC, Hon Mark Vaile AO, Hon Nick Sherry, Hon Anna Bligh, and Mr Ahmed Fahour.
"Approaching the Australia-Arab relationship requires vision, persistence and a real cultural nous. Combining the operations of both AACCI and AGC, under the leadership of Mr Jabbour and the National Board of Directors is the perfect way to position Australia and put our best foot forward, maximising the trade and investment with countries in the MENA region" Michael Yabsley, Chairman of the AGC commented. Michael Yabsley will continue to endorse the merged organisation, but will step out of a formal role.
The merged entity will operate under the AACCI brand due to the historical role AACCI has played and because a 'Chamber of Commerce' holds significant importance in the Arab World as the local Chambers license all businesses operating in their countries. Also, the Arab Chambers only recognise export documents stamped by a Chamber of Commerce – this is a significant piece of AACCI's current operations.
The AGC operations will continue under the AACCI brand as the 'Australia Arab Business Circle'.
"The merged organisation looks forward to continue to deliver high-level commercial outcomes for our partners and members," Mr Jabbour said. "By limiting the overlap between the two organisations, we believe such a merger will derive significant outcomes for Australia's trade and investment relationship with the Arab League."

Loup De Mer Sea Bass
Sea Bass
Internet Only-
Known by many names—loup de mer in France, branzino in Italy and lubina in Spain—the firm, finely textured flesh of sea bass is sweet and mild. It's a great match with olives, saffron and lemon in Middle Eastern recipes, thyme and tomatoes in Italian dishes, and white wine, garlic, scallions and ginger when steamed Asian-style. Our sea bass is farmed on Spain's Veta la Palma estate, which is committed to using sustainable methods.
- 1 whole sea bass; 2 lb. total (serves 2).
- Shipped fresh.
- Farmed in Spain.
Receiving Instructions

Comments about Aquatec LED-3250 Aqua-Lumen LED Torch:
I bought this flashlight for a trip in Tahiti. After putting the batteries in and checking the beam at night above water, I was very excited as it looked like a very strong one.Since the visibility is very good and there is no night diving in Tahiti, I didnt need it until one day we were doing a sunset dive. So I take it out of my BC pocket and turn it on. I see nothing, I think may be I didnt turn it on right. So I try and only realize that the thing was flooded.So if you want a flashlight you cannot rely on and floods when it should not, go ahead and by this one. Otherwise stay away from it.

Serial Burglar Suspected in 150 Burglaries Across North Jersey
Man caught on tape burglarizing a West Orange Chinese Restaurant is also wanted in Montclair, Millburn, Verona and Fairfield.
A man suspected in more than 150 commercial burglaries in four New Jersey counties over the last two years has been caught on surveillance tape by the West Orange Police Department.
The video of the serial burglar's last known job, on Nov. 18 at 4:30 a.m., at the #1 Chinese Kitchen on Main Street, depicts the man breaking into the restaurant by smashing the lower half of a glass door, crawling through the opening, and rummaging through the cash register. He found the register empty and left 15 minutes later, police said.
Once police captured the man's appearance on tape, they were able to get his face out across state channels, West Orange Det. Edwin Diaz said.
"Bergen County Prosecutor's office has him tied to 150 burglaries already within Bergen, Essex, Passiac and Union counties," said Diaz. "He's been doing this for two years and just hasn't been caught yet."
Diaz said police departments from Millburn, Montclair, Verona and Fairfield called almost immediately after receiving the photo. He is wanted by at least 10 other departments, Diaz said.
The burglar, described as a black man, approximately 6 feet tall, with a beard, mustache and in his mid-30's to early 40's, and wearing a hooded jacket, usually strikes at night.
The Bergen County Prosecutor's office put out an alert saying businesses in strip malls, such as bakeries, bagel shops, delis and dry cleaners have also been hit.
Diaz is asking that any residents or other agencies with information call him at 973-325-4020 or email@example.com.

Are you able to regularly post the progress being made (or not made) from the Jersey Shore after hurricane Sandy? We are anxious to hear any news.
Thank you

Tip to burglar: Shave off the beard and wear a ski mask next time. Also gloves. Don't forget to wear gloves.

Woody Allen Dines Out In NYC With…Lindsay Lohan?!
Well, well, well!
It looks like Woody Allen has found himself a new muse...and it is none other than Lindsay Lohan!
The pair were reportedly spotted dining together last night at Phillippe restaurant in New York with the famed director's stepdaughter-turned-wife Soon-Yi Previn, and sources close to the actress are claiming that they hope to work together soon - on his next project!
Not exactly the person we'd suspect to be a successor to an actress like Scarlett Johansson, but hey!
He's had a few solid flicks in the past few years, so maybe this is just what our LiLo needs to get back into serious A-List work!

It was the opportunity to see some rare and never-before-seen Disney animation history.
D23, the Official Disney Fan Club, put together an event for Disney bloggers and reporters to get a glimpse of the club's upcoming plans. During the preview, reporters were taken inside the Disney Archives to see recently discovered art from a never-completed sequence for the Disney animated film, "Dumbo."
The sequence: Timothy the Mouse tries to figure out what Dumbo could do with his large ears.
Historians at the archive also displayed a recently discovered, rare actual black-and-white animation cel from Walt Disney's famous short cartoon, "Steamboat Willie."
Most of the cels from that era, according to Becky Cline, director of the archives, were washed off and reused to save money.
"There's not to many of these black and white cels around the studio, and to find it with the original background is pretty special," she said.
After showing off the historical animation artifacts, D23 officials gathered together 11 Disney animation legends for a photograph: Two of them, Ruthie Thompson, a supervisor of scene planning in the Ink and Paint Department, and Tyrus Wong, a background artist, are more than 100 years old.
Click on the photo to see a slide show of animation history and the Disney legends.
We'll have more on upcoming D23 events in later posts.

Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Yellow fever is a disease carried by female mosquitoes of two species ( Aedes and Haemogogus species). Mosquitoes pass yellow fever to humans through a small amount of saliva when they bite. The species of mosquito that carry yellow fever are native to sub-Saharan Africa and South America, but can also be found in other areas.
Yellow fever can cause flu -like symptoms, yellowing of both the skin and the whites of the eyes, and can cause death. Yellow fever is a rare disease in travelers because many get the vaccine, but is endemic in impoverished areas because the people cannot afford to get vaccinated. If you live in or have recently visited sub-Saharan Africa or South America, and believe you may have yellow fever, see your doctor.
The yellow fever virus is the cause of yellow fever. Yellow fever virus is transmitted to humans when an infected mosquito bites a person. Yellow fever is not communicable, meaning it cannot be passed directly from one person to another.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Yellow fever has two phases: acute and toxic. All individuals infected with yellow fever will experience the acute phase. Fifteen percent of people with yellow fever will progress into the toxic phase.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, do not assume that it is due to yellow fever. Many of them also occur due to other less serious illnesses such as the flu. However, if you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical attention.
Yellow fever symptoms appear 3 to 6 days after a person is bitten by an infected mosquito. Typically, acute phase symptoms will persist for 3 to 4 days, and then disappear. If an infected person is going to progress into the toxic phase, toxic phase symptoms will begin within 24 hours of the end of the acute phase. When a person recovers from yellow fever, they are considered to have lifetime immunity from the disease.
Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms, medical history, and when and where you traveled. Your doctor will then perform a physical exam, and order blood tests to screen for signs of yellow fever in your blood.
Currently, medications or treatments specifically for yellow fever are not available. However, there are treatments that that can be given at a hospital to ease some symptoms of yellow fever.
It is important to keep the body hydrated. Fluids containing electrolytes and salts may be given orally, or may be injected through a vein to prevent dehydration.
Cool water or fever reducing medications (for example, Tylenol) may be given to reduce fever.
In toxic phase cases, dialysis may be needed to help the kidneys filter waste.
In toxic phase cases, a transfusion may be needed to replace blood cells and clotting agents lost through bleeding.
Fighting yellow fever may cause a person's immune system to become temporarily weak. A weak immune system cannot guard against bacterial infections as it normally would, so infections occur more easily. Antibiotics may be given to fight bacterial infections if they occur. Antibiotics cannot be given to treat yellow fever because yellow fever is a virus, and viruses do not respond to antibiotics.
Vaccination is the best way to prevent yellow fever. The yellow fever vaccine is recommended for people aged 9 months to 59 years who are traveling to or living in areas where the disease is present. Your doctor will help decide if the vaccine is right for you.

New Mexico Drops Historic Animal Cruelty Law
$5,000 Reward Offered for Information Leading to Arrest of Horse Killer
Man who beat neighbor's poodle to death facing felony animal cruelty charges.
Why is this campaign important to you?
I have always loved animals. Over the years my husband and I have owned cats, dogs, a cute little cockatiel and right now we have two minature poms. Ususally we just found or inherited heinze 57 pets. Oh yeah, I forgot the pet fish and hamsters! This cause is important to me because I do not like to see animals hurt. I also love and want to save the "baby humans." They are being disrespected and treated and tossed away like animals. Since 1973, 57 million have been tortured and killed just...
…A fetus is dependent on the decision of their parents; Animals are dependent on the decisions of a community - let's band together and protect the innocent, let's direct our elected representatives and our population-made celebrities; let's have them represent the true Us! Let's have them spend the good fortune we gave to them on proper causes we want corrected - innocent woman, children and animals!
This cause means everything to me, I beleive animals should never be mistreated they are precious, and I will be proud to be a voice and stand up for all who care, they have a heart too.
I love dogs and other animals. They cannot defend themselves and are subjected to the cruelty of hideous and stupid human beings. They have the capacity to love. Can feel pain like we do. They are living and breathing God's creatures. Do not do unto God's creatures what you do not want done unto you.
Animal abuse is the most vile of crimes, abusers need to be exposed and punished.
This is important to me because I have a HUGE HEART for animals. Animals can be a huge blessing to us, so I want use to be a voice for them when they are treated inhumanely.
My animals are treated like my children, they sooth your soul love unconditionaly always waiting for my return home I just look at them and understand what they wantlook into an animals eyes that says it all. if someone hurt my animals I would not be responsible for my actions.
people know hurt my dog and get a beat down.....real talk.
"Buddy" Will always be in my memories he died because of a snake bit him after 3 dogs attacked he killed 2 the 3rd one ran off then a man shot him after he healed up the snake was poisoness and he died.
Our animals are our babies and we love them so much. Hurting an animal is like hurting a human... No difference except sometimes animals cant fight back. No animal should ever be hurt in any way ever!!!!
The animals have no way to defend their selves in court so we need to be their voice of reason. Animal abuse is the same as child abuse as far as I'm concerned.
