Lauren Faust Responds to Pony Weight / Sea ponies
This kind of explains why Pinkie Pie can devour truckloads of cake and stay completely fine!
Though I do think Twilight looks a bit stockier sometimes... not that this is a bad thing.
Also some sea ponies below, just in case you were curious about their return some time in the near future.
Apparently none are planned for season 2 (considering Lauren had at least some say in the initial stages of development) but who knows what will happen in Season 3!

I need a picture of Rarity sobbing from Suited for Success to adequately respond to the second post by her.
Why did you leave Lauren! Such a short tenure on such an awesome show! /sob - June 16, 2011 at 11:00 PM
a song even more mind numbingly catchy will be made for them @-@
my body won't be ready - June 16, 2011 at 11:02 PM

I seriously want the sea-ponies to end up being like they were depicted in My Little Parcel, the MLP equivalent within the FIM universe.
(Plus that prevents the Princesses from having to develop gills or something as part of their representation of all ponykind.) - June 16, 2011 at 11:03 PM
Ponies that can talk are a little weird conceptually. "ponies" that are fish/dolphins? I can live without that.

Actually if you look the way Twi is standing, she is holding her head high, and her hind end is riased slightly due to the placement of her rear hooves. In equine anatomy, for a horse to raise their head past a certail hight they must arc their back lower . . . . hence the pudgy look to her belly, while she is cute like that. . thats what looks to be going on. I did notice those changes in stance and body curvature alot in the series when they would "stand tall", or do other posture related changes. These animators really put out a huge amount of effort to bring out a major sense of realism. You just have to look for it. My curse is an eye for detail, i catch alot of things other may not. So this runs down my alley of perception. I didnt worry about weight issues myself . . . most horses dont really get fat if they are as active as these ponies are. Tho i have seen overweight horses and ponies before. :'(

i thought this was a repsonse to physics brony by fuast too late at night need sleep
- June 16, 2011 at 11:12 PM
Did you have to share this?
This is just begging for pig-ish comments =\ - June 16, 2011 at 11:13 PM
i always figured that Pinkie could eat that much because she burned all that energy with her gerbil-like metabolism :P
- June 16, 2011 at 11:14 PM
- Fengor said...
Honestly weight never crossed my mind when watching this show. It's a cartoon so the logic is cartoon characters don't get fat unless the script calls for it. Plus I mean come on, Pinkie has a bottomless pit for a stomach.(or if you go by some fanfics bulimia)
The only time I noticed a pony looked chubby was in the last episode when they showed Pony Joe and he looked slightly more round than the other stallions shown in the show. Contextually it made sense, I mean come on the guy runs a freaking doughnut shop; I expect him to be a pudgy. - June 16, 2011 at 11:18 PM
- 2007excalibur2007 said...
Agreed. Definitely do NOT want.
Let's just stick to land ponies, shall we? - June 16, 2011 at 11:28 PM
Actually, some of the fan made concepts of G4 sea ponies don't look to bad.
Also, has S3 been confirmed? Or was it just an optimistic guess? - June 16, 2011 at 11:34 PM
- BagOfChips said...
No sea ponies, please. I don't think lauren faust could salvage those.
- June 16, 2011 at 11:41 PM
She used "they're" when she meant "there" ...MUST...RESIST...URGE...TO...KILL...!
- June 16, 2011 at 11:50 PM
- Makkon said...
No sea-ponies, PLEASE. They're more worthless than Aquaman!
- June 16, 2011 at 11:52 PM
- Kujiiro said...
Odd, the weight concept never crossed my mind. But I've never seen a fat horse before, so I wouldn't know what to look for anyway. Though I am curious if Twilight had to work off all that food she ate when she met the Apple family.
I wouldn't mind seeing sea ponies. That'd be a whole 'nother civilization to delve into. I want to see the lands of gryphons and dragons as well. - June 16, 2011 at 11:54 PM
- Bronies said...
No SEA-Ponies (No sea monkeys) as i already replied to her.
- June 17, 2011 at 12:03 AM
- Delta Pangaea said...
Well, it's not like the Princesses would have to grow gills. Who says Seaponies use gills? maybe they have lungs, and use them the same way air-breathers do, but with water?
I digress though. Sea-ponies.... meh.
Pinkie Pie? Hyperactive. And really, how often do we actually SEE her consume vast amounts of cake? I mean yeah, she has a sweet tooth, but nothing we've seen her eating would be hard to write off as just burnt off via crazy-saddle shenanigans. - June 17, 2011 at 12:21 AM
- Kujiiro said...
I've never seen any of the previous sea ponies, but I'd be willing to bet G4 sea ponies would look like a mix of badass and cute.
- June 17, 2011 at 12:23 AM
- Don_ko said...
I'm afraid of Sea ponies. They go against the laws of nature. 3:
- June 17, 2011 at 12:33 AM
So, Mr. and Mrs. Cake are actually named Carrot Cake and Cup Cake (respectively). I did not know this. Consider my mind blown into new levels of D'aaaaawwww!!!
- June 17, 2011 at 12:46 AM
Dang! I guess they could still do a beach episode, but I was hoping for at least a nod to the sea ponies/ heck they could reach half-way and just use Mermaid ponies/hippocampi.
So the mystery of the Cakes full names is finally solved. - June 17, 2011 at 1:15 AM
I too have to say that I don't like the idea of sea ponies.
- June 17, 2011 at 1:31 AM
- WTBrony said...
I agree, no sea ponies. Unicorns, pegasi, griphons, dragons, hydras, etc, make sense because they are all established mythological creatures as they are. The show doesn't need to start pony-ifying other mythological creatures, be it mermaids or anything else. Keep the equines equine, the reptiles reptilian, and the hodgepodges hodgepodgy please.
- June 17, 2011 at 1:41 AM
>December 29th
Why is this news now?
Also fuck all you bitches I want seaponies
I want twilight to make a underwater spell for them to visit the ocean floor. Where they meet them and I want pinkie to sing with them once they meet!
also for the guys that haven't seen seaponies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4TedkQP_hM - June 17, 2011 at 1:42 AM
if normal horses/ponies are the way they are wouldn't seaponies make sense? - June 17, 2011 at 1:43 AM
For fuck's sake, if they make fat/skinny ponies just for the sake to make people feel better about their body weight issues, I'mma stop watchin' the show.
Take care of your body and you won't have to feel bad about being fat/skinny/etc... If you take care of yourself, however you end up will probably be within a reasonable BMI. - June 17, 2011 at 1:45 AM
- Rockabore said...
I actually think sea-ponies are too weird looking in the cartoon and downright horrifying as toys. They look like ponies who've been through some sort of bloody accident. If FiM does this I hope they'll do them more like mermaids with the front hooves and a tail, that might look less horrifying (though still creepy I suppose). Maybe it's best they left that idea out.
- June 17, 2011 at 2:00 AM
- Trunky said...
I shall await for the shoo be doos to come.
There IS a mythological water dwelling horse.
It's called a Hippocamp and it is as well established as a unicorn and a pegasus.
The G1 sea ponies are one big pun for a seahorse. - June 17, 2011 at 2:01 AM
- Ewyndall said...
Nononononononononononononononononononono !!!
No seaponies, mer-ponies or any kind of aquatic equines, please !!!
Don't do eeett !!! :((( - June 17, 2011 at 2:12 AM
- Alternate Pinkie Pie said...
The problem is that, why did he ask for "Sea-Ponies" in the next season? And he should have added or said "Please, do not add Sea-Ponies" or something like that?
- June 17, 2011 at 3:16 AM
I've had a seapony story idea I've never had the time to write up that's a riff off Shadows over Insmouth...but teaches the girls a valuable lesson about Religious tolerance.
- June 17, 2011 at 3:24 AM
After checking up Hippocamps on google...
Sea ponies - Do NOT want
Hippocampus-spell by Twilight, or that Hippocamps exists in a Kingdom not considered being withing Equestria (Is Equestria the whole planet or just one kingdom?) - DO WANT! DO WANT SO BAD! hopehopehopehopehopehopehopehopehopehopehopehope - June 17, 2011 at 4:33 AM
Am I the only one here who dislikes the idea of mer-ponies?
- June 17, 2011 at 5:52 AM
I don't like the idea of seaponies.
There's still the possibility of body-image problems for healthy variations from the norm. For humans, there's a variety of bone structures and natural body compositions that are perfectly healthy, and there IS a range of healthy fat/muscle compositions. - June 17, 2011 at 7:00 AM
- SomeGuy said...
I do understand the whole body build thing as it does make things easier.
I do hope that they do make a Sea Pony episode for season 3. Not add a new pony race but do something like what was done in "Sonic Rainboom" for the Flutter Ponies. The gang goes to the beach for a vacation, Twilight bust out a new spell she'd been working on and BAM the main cast are Sea Ponies (temporarily) and they go on an undersea adventure. - June 17, 2011 at 8:27 AM
The G4 art people have done of seaponies where they look more like mermaids seem fine. If they did seaponies like that I would like it. It's just...mer-ponies sounds...off.
- June 17, 2011 at 9:04 AM
Mrs. Cake's name is Cup Cake, and Mr. Cake's name is Carrot Cake? MIND BLOWN
Also he looks way younger than her. - June 17, 2011 at 9:07 AM
- DavidReinold said...
There must be Sea Ponies. Everything from G1 must be revisited so that Studio B can redeem it for everything its worth. well, except the characters, but that's a copyright issue. And we've got Applejack and Spike, so who cares.
- June 17, 2011 at 9:24 AM
"Also fuck all you bitches I want seaponies"
I'm going to second that. Sea Ponies are pretty baller, and really know how to carry a tune. - June 17, 2011 at 9:25 AM
Regardless of how old this is, these posts are interesting and useful to those of us who follow FiM more casually.
I hope that whoever fills Lauren's shoes will be as open to the fan base as she is/was. - June 17, 2011 at 9:41 AM
- Marcoooootje1 said...
I don't think sea ponies are a bad idea, as long as they don't end up adding humans.
That would ruin it... - June 17, 2011 at 12:59 PM
G1 was WAY darker than G4, not that they realized no little girls are actually watching it they're gonna be bringing G1 style villains back. and G1 villains like Tirac were a few skull codpieces short of a Warhammer special character.
conversely, seaponies WIll come back, as a sort of "deep ones" cult of eldritch abominations - June 17, 2011 at 5:33 PM
Sea ponies are a 'maybe' for me. If done well, it would be neat. As long as they didn't shove them into every episode or something, just having them show up for a beach episode or the like, maybe an underwater adventure later after they are established. I mean, we already have zebras with Zecora, so it's not that big a stretch.
@SomeGuy: The Twilight spell would work too...Flutter Ponies? *looks it up* ...OK yeah we don't need those we have pegasi for the whole 'flying pony' bit, but it was a nice callback in that sense. I'd be happy if it was a race or a spell, but I would prefer it as a race. - June 17, 2011 at 10:53 PM
Did she just imply she's never returning to her old role?
- June 18, 2011 at 12:32 AM
- C.W. said...
Hippocamp spell , But rarity gets nervous about her ego taking over, and rents scuba gear instead.
- June 18, 2011 at 1:26 AM
Candy2021 is a real piece of work. I wonder if she gets so up in arms about weight issues in real women, or if it's just cartoon ponies she's obsessed with.
- June 18, 2011 at 11:46 AM
man, you people treat Sea-ponies worse than Ponyville treats Zecora
- June 18, 2011 at 6:24 PM
As long as the Sea Ponies don't sing whenever they appear, I can live with it.
- June 22, 2011 at 8:04 AM
i have been here before following the advise so many people gave me on here which i found later that it was a trick to rip people of there money.. so i had to go on with my life thinking nothing can be done in my case. before i met with meruja owo, who calls him self descendant of meruja temple. he changed my stories and i will do the right thing to tell you about him because i know he can help your case, here is his email address firstname.lastname@example.com and i got it from a reliable person he work for in Cleveland Ohio

Friday, February 15, 2013 - 5:26 AM
A bus driver in Allen County's Elida school district has resigned after he left a preschool student alone on a bus last month. The Lima News reports the incident happened on January 29. Driver John McDermid apparently checked the bus but didn't see the child. McDermid took the bus back to the garage where the child was left alone for about 13 minutes before another driver spotted the child, who was not hurt. McDermid resigned two days later.

Hitting the road at a moment's notice may be a thing of the past, but once you've done the hard work (remembering snacks, bathing suits, arranging for a crib), there are some destinations that require less planning.
Set your GPS to Monterey.
It's true: Dennis the Menace Playground (777 Pearl Street; 831-646-3860) is even more fun than Koret. Let off steam on the way into town with a romp through the epic spot's crazy slides and mazes, real train, and rock-climbing wall.
All roads lead to The Clement Monterey (750 Cannery Row; 831-375-4500), the swanky bay-side hotel that goes out of its way to make sure you have as nice a stay (in-room babysitting services) as your kids (tasty children's menu).
Ready to swim with the sharks? The jaw-dropping Monterey Bay Aquarium (886 Cannery Row; 831-648-4800) should be the centerpiece of your trip. Arrive at opening (9:30 a.m.) to avoid long lines and consider a membership (worth it if you plan on visiting more than once) to make ins and outs easy.
Once inside, check out the Splash Zone for the under-3 set (water play amid penguins, cuttlefish, and moray eels), the languid jellyfish tanks, the touch pool areas, and the Wave Crash tunnel. If your junior Jacques Cousteau gets hooked on sea life, sign up for the just-for-families Shark Tour or Feeding Frenzy, where you can toss vittles to the animals before opening (reserve spots at 866-963-9645).
When little fins get floppy, head to nearby Myo Pure Frozen Yogurt (685 Cannery Row; 831-375-3769) or Mrs. Delish's (800 Lighthouse; 831-612-1884) for a before-dinner Oreo cupcake.
Nothing could be more spontaneous.
Getting there is half the battle. We've found games and gear to get little ones from point A to point B — as well as more ideas on where point B should be. |
BUY (and SELL)
Chloe's Closet
What: Our favorite secondhand shop for kids' clothing and gear debuts a second location in Inner Sunset.
Why: Bernal's best-kept secret is out.
When: Her sleeves are too short.
Where: 616 Irving St., b/t 7th & 8th Aves. (415-664-4611).
What: The San Francisco Circus Center's biannual showstopper with clowning, acrobatics, and feats of aerial strength.
Why: There are two matinees.
When: Fri., 7:30 p.m.; Sat., 2 & 7:30 p.m.; Sun., 2 p.m.
Where: San Francisco Circus Center, 755 Frederick St., b/t Arguello Blvd. & Willard St. (415-759-8123). Tickets online at circuscenter.org. General admission, $20; children 12 and under, $15.
Cut Arts Silhouettes
What: Scissors virtuoso Karl Johnson snips portraits lickety-split.
Why: You'll always remember him looking that way.
When: Monkey Bars, Sat., 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Peek Aren't You Curious, Sun., 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Where: Monkey Bars, 1339 Park St., b/t Central & Encinal Aves., Alameda (510-769-6905); Peek Aren't You Curious, 1536 Redwood Hwy., at The Village at Corte Madera (415-945-0100). Call for reservations. Cost is $25-$30.

Safe Steps
If you're eagerly anticipating your baby's first steps, ensure your home is safe. Here are a few tips from Stacy DeBroff, author of The Mom Book: 4,278 of Mom Central's Tips—For Moms from Moms:
- Teach your toddler how to climb up and down stairs on his stomach or his bottom, and have him practice on the lower steps with your supervision. To help your child practice climbing without risking a long fall, move the gate to the third or fourth stair from the bottom.
- Put bells on doors to warn you if a child has opened one, such as a door leading to the backyard.
- Use gates on rooms without doors to keep your child from wandering into dangerous areas.
- Use non-slip carpeting tape under area rugs to hold them in place or place sticky matting under throw rugs to keep them from slipping. If you need something stronger to stop slippage or to prevent your child from tripping, try masking tape around the edges.
- Put bells on doors to warn you if a child has opened one, such as a door leading to the backyard.

You can purchase Phentermine medication online at low price. Discount Phentermine online pharmacy. Phentermine for sale.
Phentermine is a drug that is part of the sympathomimetic amine class of drugs, and it is used along with a sensible diet, exercise and behavior modification to aid in weight loss. The drug is intended for those who are very overweight or obese, and who have not been able to lose weight through exercise and diet. Sustained weight loss can reduce many obesity-related health risks, such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and a shorter lifespan. The reasons behind phentermine's effectiveness aren't fully known; it's thought to work by decreasing appetite, increasing energy uptake, or by affecting brain chemistry. Phentermine
Phentermine should be taken according to your physician's directions, typically once a day about an hour before your first meal. If the need arises, your physician can adjust your dose or break it into smaller, more frequent doses. It's important to take phentermine exactly as prescribed, as taking it too late in the day can cause insomnia. If you're using time-release capsules, take the drug once a day in the morning or no less than ten hours before bedtime.
A patient's phentermine dosage is based on their response to therapy and their medical condition, and doctors adjust dosage in order to find the most appropriate one. In order to realize the full benefit of phentermine, it's vital that it be taken regularly. It's normally only prescribed for a course of a few weeks, and it should not be taken along with other stimulant-based appetite suppressants. If use is suddenly stopped, withdrawal symptoms can occur.
In rare cases, addiction to phentermine can result; it's important to not increase your dosage without first consulting your physician. Its effectiveness may decline after a few weeks, and if it does, you should talk to your doctor.

The wine is a deep cherry colour with prominent legs. The nose bursts full of black fruit, currants and blackberries with a spicy toasty edge. The palate is round and long with firm, silky tannins.
Richer and heavier than most Rioja this is a deep, dark wine with flavours of blackberry, cassis and allspice on the palate.
A beautifully intense, deep, rose-petal colour. The nose has elegant hints of violet and red fruits which leading to a full and fresh palate with alluring aromatics, red berries and rose petals and a long, dry finish. A rosé to remember.

the world's smartest travel social network
Hi there,
I'm going to Albania for two weeks end August-beginning September and I'd like to visit both North and South. Right now that seems quite difficult because of transport. Is there any sensible way I can do this? thank you!
Tags: Albania
Leyla, contact Gerti Boshnjaku of InfoAlbania.org. I think the email address is firstname.lastname@example.com . Boshnjaku is also a member of Tripatini; here's a link to his profile page: http://www.tripatini.com/profile/GertiBoshnjaku
Thank you Ed - much appreciated!
Dear Layla,
Great to hear that you are planning to visit Albania!
Do you have a little more specific itinerary in mind? Then I can help you with some more specific information :)
In General:
- Do you have a driving license? If you have one I would advise you to rent a car for the South-part of the trip instead of relying on public transport since many of the busses and furgons (minibusses) only leave early in the morning and you have limited time. However if you don't have a driving license no problem, it is still possible to visit to South and see some beautiful places, you will just have to take the bus times into account.
-For the North part of the trip you will either have to go by public transport (no problem, just keep in mind that the busses usually leave very early and that there is only 1 or only a few buses per day) or rent a 4x4.
If you would like to explore the country with a guide or join a small group tour then please send your wishes to email@example.com and I will help you.
Visit this website to get some more details about Albania. It is in Albanian but you may use google translate to help you see it.
See you in Tirana,

We got it done. 41-3
Apparently in deciding to challenge "Peanut" they overlooked and even bigger catastrophe called "pick return for TD". LOL I think maybe the author under estimated just how unlucky Gabbert could get if he decided to under throw a ball to that side of the field.
You know the way our CBs have been playing it's gotta be a tough decision for an OC to make as far as which one he wants to go at. Peanut = 13% completion rate and two TDs off picks, or Jennings = 4 picks and PBU tips that created two more. Plus both are pretty sure tacklers so YAC isn't usually gonna be an option either. We really haven't had a pair of CBs playing this well so far in any of my recent memories and the Safety play has been strong as well.
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

Another Fast Start Propels Lady Bulldogs to Victory
By: Eric Boynton
Updated: January 25, 2013
In the first quarter, the Lady Bulldogs jumped out to a 20-0 lead, and stretched that even more in the second quarter. Thanks in part to Brittany Brewer and her team high ten points in the first half.
Brewer didn't let up in the second half either, adding more points in the paint for the Lady Bulldogs.
A short time later Wylie found some more offense from Peyton Sanders on the fast break.
The Lady Bulldogs continued to get more buckets in the paint from Punkin Mack and Makenley Lunsford on their way to a 86-30 win.

I am only 18, but I do feel very old. lol
Saying sorry won't change anything
I get a lot of people saying that I'm too old to like Pokémon, but I'm only 21. I've been a fan since it came out, so I doubt I'll ever grow out of it. Heck, one of my favorite things to do nowadays is draw Pokémon and trade with my friends. It's just one of those hobbies that will stick with me no matter what.
22, 23 in January. I see a lot of people here who can't be more than, like, 12, if that, judging by how they post. It can be frustrating, and that's part of why I usually vacate this place in the downtimes between game releases.
im 16 which isnt too old by any means
but u see those commercials where teens are telling littne kids about all the stuff they have (mainly being able to move the tv)
one thing that makes me feel old is that my little siblings don't know how to rewind a VHS
i remembered when dvd's came out and i thought they were so cool cuz i didnt have to rewind them XD
I was 3. Now I'm 10. Nah, once you get over the fact that all it's haters are stuck-up jerks, and that there are people in their late 40's playing this game, well, you don't really care. POKÉMON FTW!!!!!
: My Pokémon Y team so far! :
I will be 20 soon, but I could be 100 and still not too old to be on here <3
I have been super inactive...
I'm sorry...
If you need to get in touch or just want to chat, just send me a note on DeviantART <3
I'm 21, but I don't think I could ever give up pokemon. :P
I feel especially old when I realize my game character is like 10 (aren't the new ones like 15 or 16?)
I saw what looked like to be a man in his 40's on the public bus playing Pokemon.....I cried tears of joy.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Other than choosing an experienced breast cancer surgeon, are there any preoperative or postoperative steps that can be taken by the patient to mitigate risk of side effects in axillary lymph node dissection?
Linda McGrath Boyle PT, DPT CLT-LANA, Cancer Rehab Specialist and OncoLink Lymphedema Team Editor, responds:
Women who are strong and flexible pre-operatively are in a better position to avoid shoulder problems post-operatively. Having said that, we know that it is hard to exactly predict the specific surgical and cancer therapies (chemotherapy, radiation therapy) that may later be required to eradicate the cancer.
Persons who undergo axillary lymph node dissection (AND) have a higher incidence of side effects than those undergoing sentinel lymph node (SNB) procedures. The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder (loss of range of motion and muscle weakness), loss of sensation in the breast/axilla/medial aspect of the upper arm, and lymphedema of the breast/arm/trunk occur more often following AND. Those undergoing axillary clearance also generally require more extensive cancer therapies, i.e. radiation, which increases the risk of lymphedema. There is also strong medical evidence that recovery of function (return to normal activities, work, use of the arm) occurs more quickly following SNB.
Having said all of this, I see MANY women who do extremely well following axillary node dissection. It is always best to check with the surgeon/nurse practitioner about activity limitations and follow those instructions meticulously. Premature exercise or use of the arm delays healing of tissues and reanastomosing (reconnecting) of delicate lymphatics. Your surgeon will have a specific protocol for you to follow.
If you do notice any of the symptoms mentioned, please discuss these with your surgeon/nurse practitioner and question if you will need to see a physical therapist who specializes in cancer rehabilitation and is a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT). Preferably you will want to work with a physical therapist who is LANA certified. This is evidence that the therapist has passed a national certification examination. This person will have the initials PT or MPT or MSPT or DPT followed by CLT-LANA following their name.

My Pro Day South Bend; Baseball Camps South Bend; Baseball Tryouts South Bend; Baseball Showcases South Bend
Phoenix Arizona -- Thanks to a new program called My Pro Day, players of all ages can enjoy a real life major league baseball experience.
My Pro Day is the first to bring the excitement and benefits of a big-league tryout camp to players of all ability levels, ages 6 to 18. Young players will have a pro baseball fantasy day experience, and parents will learn how their players measure up against others across the country and across the world.
Players at the Phoenix Arizona My Pro Day event will follow in the footsteps of current stars such as Albert Pujols and Derek Jeter and all-time greats like Mickey Mantle and Tony Gwynn, most of whom got noticed at similar events.
Whether you are a travel team star or just a kid who loves baseball, your Pro Day experience will be both fun and eye-opening.
A trained staff of My Pro Day coaches will divide participants into age groups and put each player through the same tests used at big league tryouts and Division I showcases. We'll test your arm strength, defensive skills, hitting ability, running speed, quickness, agility, athleticism, and more. As you move through the test stations, you'll also get tips on how to improve in each area of the game. But it's not just a day at fantasy camp, and it's so much more than a skills challenge. Here's what comes next …
Your personalized My Pro Day scorecard will show your scores, ratings, and suggestions for improvement. Even more valuable, your results will be entered into an international database and reveal how you measure up against players your age locally, statewide and nationally. You may be one of the best players on your team or in your league, but how do you stack up against players from around the country and in Latin America? Here's your chance to find out.
The My Pro Day database will identify players by a unique ID number, so only those with whom you share your number will be able to access your scores and rankings.

35 cents Fire Botvd MuttUts Mon Fair Pkotas The HwilleY Famiside Thursday, August 26,1999 A Press Publications newspaper m serving the Huntley community Volume 39, Issue 34 Team prepares for kick off at new field Tim Anderson Press Publications Head football coach Mike Slatteiy sajrs his team is ready for Friday night's season and home opener against Seneca. But the bigger question on the minds of Slattery and others is this: Will the new football field be ready? Construction crews were still instal¬ ling bleachers and light posts earlier this week in preparation for the open¬ ing of Huntley High School's new football field. "As of right now, we're going to be fine," high school Athletic Director Dave Moyer said Monday about the progress of the new field. "There is still work to be done out there. We're definitely cutting it close, because we're having our first game of the year at home. But unless there are some unforeseen problems, we will be ready." Slattery said he has been keepmg an eye on the progress of the new field. "I know the field has goal posts and grass, and those are the things I'm concerned about," he joked. The sophomore football game will begin at 5:30 p.m., with the varsity matchup to follow. Slattery said the thought of playing on the new field has his te^n even more excited than it normally would be for the start of the football season. "Our kids are reaUy pumped up, to the point of being a little nervous about it," the head coach said. Moyer said the new field will include an improved press box, more seating for fans and a larger concession area. Just as important, Moyer said, the field is located on school groxmds, as opposed to the old home stadium that was located away from the new high school campus. "It's going to be good for oiu- cam¬ pus atmosphere to play our home games on site," Moyer said. The field also will have a track for use by athletes in the spring. As for the football team, Slattery says his squad is ready to improve on last year's 1-8 record. "I know there has been improve¬ ment with our program," Slattery said. "Now we have to see if that will trans¬ late to more wins. We think it will." His team will get an immediate test against Seneca, a perennial power in the Interstate Eight Conference. "We really think Seneca is a team we can compete with," Slattery said. "We thmk we have a lot of talent, and we're ready to show it." Senior quarterback Hugh McGinley will lead the Redskins' offensive at¬ tack. Other retuming players expected to contribute offensively are wing Scott Gentzleman, wide receiver Gary Mueller, and offensive linemen Dave Schnell and Eric Brooks. Middle line¬ backer Brandon Roxwort;hy and defe¬ nsive end Jeff Berg will anchor the ¦ TEAM, Page 2 Opening their doors Pat Kolle/Press Publications Village, Huntley Towers reach parking agreement Tim Anderson Press Publications Tom Peck Jr. and Tom Peck Sr. invite residents to visit their new showroom in the Huntley Auto IMall, located at Freeman Road and Route 47. The company moved from Hampshire to the new showroom on Aug. 16. It could be another three years before officials fi'om the village and Huntley Towers have to revisit the parking situation at the Route 47 strip mall. Both sides may need that much time to recover from the most recent roimd of talks. The frustratingly long, sometimes contentious dis¬ cussions about Huntley Tow¬ ers parking issues at least temporarily ended Aug. 19, when the Village Board nar¬ rowly agreed to allow devel¬ opers to fill the remaining one-third of the mall with waiting tenants. Village President James Dhamer had to cast the deci¬ ding vote in favor of the pro¬ posal, which three trustees voted against because of what they believe will be significant parking problems at the site. The vote allowed for a var¬ iance in the village's parking requirements, which other¬ wise would not have allowed Huntley Towers to be filled. The approved plan will al¬ low the village to have a third- year review of the Huntley Towers parking situation. Right before the vote, Trus¬ tee Chariie Becker may have best captured the exas¬ peration of both sides with a joke that left the entire boardroom laughing. "Why don't we make the period four years, then maybe all of us will be out of office," he said. Trustees Sue Lamb, Charles Sass and Erin Anderson all voted against the plan. In casting the deciding the vote, Dhamer said it will be in Huntley Towers developer Don Wolfs best economic in¬ terest to continue to look for solutions to the possible park¬ ing crunch. "I don't see the point of seeing this building stay empty," Dhamer said. The village president added that the entire parking situa¬ tion has been "an embar¬ rassment" for everyone in¬ volved. Trustee Dennis Beeskow, who voted for the proposal, agreed: "It's been a mess fi'om Day 1. It really, really ¦ PARKING, Page 2

"Precious": from novel to big screen – a Mission (almost) Impossible
I am a journalist. Those who know me or regularly read my writing know that I have to be up to speed on everything going on in the world. I'm not a journalist by accident. I used to blame it on heredity – I come from a family of journalists –, but the truth is, I just 'gotta know'. Gotta dig, tell, spread the news.
I am a journalist, and thus over-informed. Current events; that's my life. Even when I don't know the details of an event, I know something. I know something about everything. It's my job.
Because I am super-informed, when I read a book, when I watch a tv series, when I watch a film, it's to step outside of my own cloistered world and enter another. Nothing surprising, then, about the fact that I am a Star Wars fan or that I read more easily in English than French (I live in French, so I trade-off with reading in English). I love tv detective series, even though they deal with the grungy, sordid side of life (I am not naive, I know that murders, rapes and kidnappings really do happen), but the bad guys are punished and the innocent are set free.
I don't read autofiction (Editor's Note: a genre of writing that combines fiction and autobiography), I never watch 'social cause' movies or films that mirror real life. In short, I don't need anyone to show me what life is, I need to evade it.
Still and yet, I went to see Precious (which came out in France yesterday). I read the book Push when it was released in 1996. At the time I was not a journalist, I still read serious books and went (often) to see deep, serious movies. I would have never imagined that someone would risk bringing this incredible novel to the big screen. I just had to see the result. And as with the book, I left the theatre shattered and (hopefully) wiser.
Push is a huge punch in the face, really. The first time you read it, and the second time too. You gotta really get into it to effectively decipher what Precious really wants to say and to be able to deal with what she is living through. But the takeaway after you finish the book isn't violence, it's hope.
Push is an unadaptable book. Precious could only be 'less': less strong, less violent, less touching, less beautiful, less hopeful. But that fact doesn't make the film any less excellent. The producer, Lee Daniels, who is openly gay, did the best he could with such a book. François Truffaut had this to say about screen adaptations: "Betrayal of the letter or of the spirit is tolerable if the filmmaker interests himself in on or the other and if he succeeds in doing 1) the same thing; 2) the same thing, but better; 3) something else, but better. Not admissible are dulling down, shrinking down or sweetening down". Lee Daniels didn't do either. He neither dulled, shrunk, nor sweetened. He did the best that could be done. Some books just aren't adaptable to film, but at least some attempt the impossible and emerge unscathed. And since cinema is more accessible than litterature, Precious will reach a larger audience than Push could have. One compelling reason to admire Lee Daniels.
But it's not the only reason. Not very long ago, I wrote about Valentine 's Day and its extraordinary casting. Here as well the casting is extraordinary, but not just for its roster of superstars – the acting was excellent. To be sure, the movie counts Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz (in a role written especially for him), Mo'Nique, and the comedian Sherri Shepherd (The View, 3rd Rock), who will be one of the three hosts of the Red Carpet for the upcoming Oscars. The press is giddy over Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) and Mo'Nique (Mary, the mother), absolute relevations who, if Hollywood is just a tad fair, should finish the Oscar weekend with an armful of statues. While we wish Gabourey Sidibe a long and prosperous career, it bears mentioning that there aren't many roles out there for an obese black woman. Finally, one last up and comer to keep your eye on: Paula Patton, who interprets a very luminous Blu Rain, the (lesbian) professor who helps Precious find her place in the world.
Lee Daniels also succeeded in slipping in little details that ended up being the discernable 'oomph' behind Push. For example, phonetic writing, which is impossible to convey orally, that you find in the opening sequence of the movie. And the daydream scenes, when Precious can't deal with reality and flees into a parallel universe where she is the star – loved, and well-treated.
It will take a long time to digest Precious, to find the hope that grew out of the book but has a harder time breaking through on the big screen, behind all the pain contained therein. But if Precious can break through it, so can her viewers.

"This was a great collection. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all four stories. Now I have four more authors to read." ~ A reader
Welcome to my website!
Dear Readers,
Welcome to the world of Kathryn Shay. I write contemporary romances that reviewers have called "heart-wrenching and emotional." Many of my books are set in upstate New York, New York City, and surrounding areas. You might have heard I write firefighter and teacher stories, but I cover a whole host of professions such as lawyers, Secret Service agents, CEOs, Irish pub owners, architects and police officers. My work centers on hot, controversial: family problems, parents and children, friendship, troubled teens, school violence, infidelity and marriages in trouble, holiday stories and online dating.
I hope you'll peruse my website and get to know me (on my bio page and fun stuff) and the novels I write on the rest of the pages.
Best always,

No Demonstrations in Pakistan When Christian Girls Raped
The wave of anti-Christian violence has not stopped in Pakistan. Abuses continue to be perpetrated in the name of the blasphemy law
Just about the time that the demonstrations over the infamous video clip about the prophet Muhammad seem to be dying down, I am reminded of the degradation that Christians suffer in Muslim countries and the hypocrisy of it all.
Ever since the attack on our embassy in Benghazi, Libya and the murder of four Americans on September 11, the news has been flooded with pictures of mobs burning American flags and effigies of President Obama throughout the Muslim world in protest of a video, which we are told hurts the feelings of the Muslim people.
Days after the "Love the Prophet Day" demonstrations in Pakistan, where the largest, most violent, week-long demonstrations occurred, I read a headline article in Asia News that says, "The wave of anti-Christian violence has not stopped in Pakistan. Abuses continue to be perpetrated in the name of the blasphemy law and acts of sexual violence are carried out against underage girls from religious minorities. . . ."
Allah Rakhi is 10 years old. She is from a poor Christian family in Yousafabad, Madina Town, Faisalabad in Pakistan. In late August she went to a store to sell some things. It was there she met Muhammad Nazir. He lured the trusting 10 year old to his house under the pretense that he was interested in buying her things, but the money was at his house. When Allah's father found her, she was unconscious on the floor, naked and bleeding. A porno movie was playing on the television.
The vicar general of the Diocese of Faisalabad, Father Khalid Rashid Asi, said, "The lack of justice in Pakistan means that the rich and powerful think that they can commit such acts and get away with it." If a Muslim girl had been raped, he went on to say, "It is likely that all the Christian homes in the area would have been torched."
According to another Asia News article, about 11:00 A.M. on September 20, 16-year-old Shumaila Masih was walking through the streets of Faisalabad when the Christian girl encountered three young Muslim men: Iftikhar Hussain, Shahid Munir and Muhammad Imran. They tried to get her to go with them but she refused, so they forced her. She cried for help as they dragged her through the streets, but no one helped her. Once they got her to Hussain's house, they took turns raping her until her father and cousins found her hours later and rescued her.
Father Bonnie Mendes, the former Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Justice and Peace for the Church in Pakistan, said she has not gotten justice because of her poverty. Echoing similar sentiments, Father Khalid Rashid noted that "religious minorities and marginalized groups are easy targets for wealthy landowners in rural areas." But Shumaila is not just another statistic to him: "I personally know the victim because I was pastor in that area. They are a very poor family, but rich in the Catholic faith. They deserve justice."
These are not isolated instances. The Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child has documented numerous attacks against children in Faisalabad, Pakistan for the first five months of 2012. The breakdown for some of their statistics is as follows: at least 40 sexual assaults, 14 murders, 22 kidnappings, and six forced marriages.
In addition, when a woman is raped in Pakistan, she can be put in jail for "unlawful sex." Furthermore, her release from jail is contingent upon her agreeing to marry her rapist. To further complicate matters, according to sharia law, it is not lawful for a Muslim to marry a Christian. Therefore, if the victimized woman is a Christian, she must not only be willing to marry her rapist, she must also renounce her faith and convert to Islam.
Christian women and children do not live in peace in Pakistan; they live in fear. Their world is truly a "culture of death." When I read about the rapes of 10-year-old Allah Rakhi and 16-year-old Shumaila Masih at a time when Muslims are demonstrating and attacking American embassies because they claim their feelings have been hurt by a video, I see the height of hypocrisy, and it is evil!
As a Catholic, I believe that God created all people. I also believe that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for our sake. Because of this belief, I see all human beings (born and unborn, rich and poor, Muslim and Christian, as well as disabled, dying and comatose) as having incomparable dignity and worth. All persons have a capacity to receive the gift of eternal life and love.
Thus, I do not hold ill will for the Muslim people. But I can not and will not ignore the ...

Pakistan is an Islamic country. As such, those that are not muslim will not be treated as those who are. Degrading Christains is a sport for them as their religion allows it, and there is no outrage from anywhere else in the world, and they know it. As fellow Chrtistains, our best hope for our brothers and sisters there is to pray fervently to God that they will be able leave that country and start life anew in anotherr country that values all human life.

The people of Pakistan are poor & ignorant. They've been well indoctrinated in their islamic faith that they don't know any better & those who do just turn a blind eye because they don't want to get involved & be the next target. Unfortunately there are too many lukewarm Catholics today who just can't be bothered. Another Hotel Rwanda. God Bless & Help these poor Christians & that their cries do not fall on deaf ears.

The government of Pakistan needs to take control of the situation thru educating the public and by taking to trial those who are persecuting Christians. Unfortunately, even Pakistan's leaders are threatened. Is this not a country with nuclear weapons? If Pakistan could make such a lethal decision in using nuclear weapons then should they not also be able to have strong moral order and a judiciary that protects it's citizens. How can anyone benefit from the violence put upon poor innocent children? I pray for you Pakistan. You are a jewel that God loves.

The "double standard" of Pakistan and for that case any Islamic countries are very clear. Whenever, Koran or Prophet Muhammad is defamed, their sentiments and impulsive behavior reaches to the sky. On the other, if any minority member or their Religion is harassed or raped, they are least bothered to react. Of course, we cannot blame the political leaders fully as everyone loves his life. They too like any other political leaders think of their safety and "majority vote banks". If a political leader stand for truth, he will be annihilated from the face of the earth is the lesson we learn from the history of Pakistan. Yet I appreciate the present Prime Minister for his courage who ordered to arrest an " ustad" from a mosque for his alleged involvement in trapping a 'mentally retarded Christian girl' in burning Koran pages and arresting a group of Muslim youth recently for destroying a Hindu Temple in the context of protest against the ' Innocence of Muslims". It is high time that the system of "theocratic state" and " law of Blasphemy" be abolished from the Islamic Nations of the world. The Law of Blasphemy has equal footing in the other Semitic Religions of Jews and Christians who share with Islam the common patrimony. The Jews and Christians have gone another extreme of misuse of liberty in relation to God and Religion is a truth of fact today. Yet, there is an evolution of movement towards "discovery of God" in the depth of man that in turn is affecting the relation to Religion and culture in a constructive way. Even if such law be maintained, it should be applicable only to Islam as other Religious minority is not bound to live the tenet of Islam. If they expect the same from the minority, it should be equally applicable to the Muslims who live in other countries too. It is unfair that while the minority is persecuted by the most Islamic countries, they demand full liberty even to build mosque in the 'Ground Zero' of the World Trade Centre. Let the Law be the same for the Christians and the Muslims- either we live as Democratic or Theocratic.
Mathew Thankachen O.Praem.

W3C Specifications Should Use an Open License
Go Fork and Multiply
The web standards community has been discussing using an open license for W3C standards for quite some time now. We've had a long time to look at this from quite a few angles. Having contemplated the arguments, I still feel that the fears that power the anti-forking sentiment, even though they stem from a desire to help the web, are both unfounded and powerfully counter-productive. Further, I believe that the world has changed a lot since the W3C Document License came into effect — and with the Proposed Permissive Copyright Experiment in HTML Working Group now is a good time to take this evolution into account.
