Your regularly scheduled ponies returning soon.
((Wow, I got my first hateful anon questions. It's a shame though, this anon doesn't seem to know what clouds and trees are. I will gladly inform you though ;) <3
That doesn't mean send me more. One more and I'll probably close the ask box for a while.))
((To help knock me out of hiatus and prepare me for giveaway prizes, I poked my brain and gave that pale horse of mine a proper cutie mark. The snowflake didn't do him justice. Don't worry, he's not suddenly going to be a big part of the blog, but I'll probably use him as a background pony in some of our art if needed.))
If you haven't already entered the giveaway, (again, don't spam your followers, only one entry per blog), here's the post one last time. I'll be checking the last name on that post at 12:00am EST, and any entries after that time will be void.
We wish you all luck though! :)
We look forward to seeing the winners. c:
The Format menu>"Make Plain Text"
That should allow you to save with the .ini and .js extensions, for your respective files. :)
Now, when I made my browser pony, I didn't have access to the desktop ponies editor, because I'm on a mac (heck, I didn't even know there was an editor built in, whoops). And while I'm no stranger to .ini files, I pretty much had to write my ponies' behaviors from scratch, and used some already made behavior files as a base to figure out what was what. I hope this little guide'll help get you on your way to having your own little pony trotting around on your blog.
How did I get those behavior files in the first place though?
Well, what I did was go to the browser ponies home page, and download their "browser-ponies-plus-resources.zip". Within this handy little archive is a folder with every browser pony available on their homepage, with their behaviors all packaged and ready to go.
Pop open a folder (I like to use Doctor Whooves' folder as an example) Behavior files are usually called pony.ini. Wait, don't you have a program that opens .ini files? D:
That's okay, just find TextEdit (or if you're on windows, you should just be able to double click and it'll open in Notepad.), and open it in there.
Sweet Celestia's Pancakes, words everywhere. If you opened up the pony.ini in Doctor Whooves' folder (Credit to Asparagus for writing it!), you'll see these lines at the top:
'Name "(can be anything)",
'Relative Probability (0.1 = 10%),
'Max Duration (seconds)
'Min Duration (seconds)
'Movement Speed (Pixel's per tick - one tick = 100msec)
'Animation/Image name (.jpg, .png, .gif) - (if specifying a movement, specify an idle animation)
'Movement allowed: None (stand still), Horizontal_only, Vertical_Only, Horizontal_Veritcal, Diagonal_Only, Diagonal_Horizontal, Diagonal_Vertical, all
There are also Optional Behavior Parameters, but I haven't played with those yet, and so I can't really explain those at this time. All you really need for a very basic browser pony is a Stand/Idle behavior, and a Walk behavior. Another thing, to omit a line in your .ini file, use ' at the start of a sentence. Lines like that won't effect your OC's behavior, and you can sign your name to your .ini. :D
And if you have more than one version of a certain behavior, like a pegasus with a trot cycle with it's wings out, and a trot cycle with it's wings tucked, you can keep both by naming one of the behaviors with "".
Behavior,"trot wing",
Be sure to look around at other pony.inis to get a feel for how to write them. Here's my own OC's raw pony.ini as an example. He's pretty simple at the moment.
Important: When saving your behavior as a text file, be sure to type in ".ini" at the end, or else the next step won't work! If using TextEdit, you'll have to convert to plain text before you save as an .ini. It's under the Format menu.
This is fairly easy, because the Browser Pony Homepage can do all of this for us. :)
Simply drag your brand new pony.ini file there and the page will take you to the next step. This is where we begin to break away from the desktop ponies programing. I chose to host my files on my deviantart st.ash, because it handles both animated .gifs AND .js files. Very nifty.
If you do host in stash, you'll want to manually copy and paste the image's urls into the little boxes there. Once uploaded to stash, simply use the download feature to get the direct url. That's the one we want to use.
Proceed to change all your urls and then click the Generate Javascript Code button on the page. Ignore interactions for now, it's beyond my understanding at this moment, and I think it has to do with after you get complicated sets of ponies pixel'd and they're supposed to play nice together.
If you took my advice and used deviantart's stash feature to upload your pony animations, then you can also use stash to upload your .js files! :D Use the download button on stash to get the raw .js file's url.
Copy the handy < script > shown on the browser ponies page to a blank text file so you can change some urls, and replace the "http://example.org/your-ponies.js" line with the url for your OC's .js file.
Finally, paste the completed script into your blog's custom html, update the preview, and hit save.
Congrats on your custom browser pony! (Also be sure to thank the desktop pony team and the browser pony hosts for their awesomeness)
:) After talking it over, we'll be going on a short art hiatus until May 1st, when the giveaway is over. Too many ponies with April birthdays. >:T
Arc: However if i have time i may still post some short stories to keep the blog active for the time being. c:
How Alto & Beau first met. Probably not what you expected…
Why is Beau's mane not so massively crazy yet? Why is a delirious Alto lying on the side of the road eating soggy cake out of a box while talking about birthday parties? Because, that's why.
:T Relevant. Also why Heart Throb and Love Struck are not going on this blog for the most part.
More concept work, for my Love Struck and Heart Throb. Two half-hearted Manehatten ponies that were made for each other (literally), and the only ones in my mane cast I haven't drawn before. I might eventually make these two a blog, because I won't feature them much on this one due to Alto's dislike of them. :T
Heart Throb grew up as a sad, grumpy little unicorn. Oh, you didn't know he was a unicorn? Good. Anyway, little Robby was often teased for being such girly colors by the other colts in school. Even Alto poked fun at him a few times, mostly during Hearts and Hooves day. (Which Heart Throb came to abhor)
He took up hanging out with the fillies, and worked hard to practice his magic and try and get a one up on the other colts. It was by accident one day that he found out his voice combined with his spells had an interesting effect on the fillies.
It was after school one day, and little Robby was parading around with a train of young fillies following behind him, all hopelessly love-struck under some sort of spell. Several of the other colts were jealous or angry at the smug little unicorn's attitude and his treatment of their crushes/friends/sisters.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck Heart Throb right in the horn and caused his magic to backfire back up to the clouds in a terrifying cascade of love-magic and electricity.
Love Struck was a young filly training to clear low clouds around Manehatten's taller buildings. She usually did a terrible job, because she'd get distracted by pony watching and falling hopelessly head over hooves for random strangers below.
She'd just gotten out of school for the day and was trying to move a large storm cloud clear of some windows when a tantalizing melody reached her ears. Steering the cloud towards the sound, she came upon one of her classmates, Heart Throb, and his parade of fillies. She giggled at the sight, before the spell started to kick in and she too was ensnared in the little unicorn's song. She flopped down on the soft surface below her to watch her newest crush, forgetting for a moment that it was an angry storm cloud. Lightning coursed through her, although being a pegasus it didn't really cause her much harm. But then came the magic.
The two young ponies picked themselves off the ground after the ordeal, and their eyes met. Something about that backfired spell and the lightning strike joined them that day. Both took a moment to realize they'd gotten their cutie marks, and a little longer to realize how closely they matched. They were inseparable ever since.
The two would eventually come to found Red-Light City, an underground base of sorts away from the stuffy Manehattenite crowd. Currently the Red-Light has a cafe/bar, inn, an unofficial derby betting ring, and several other features.
Alto also worked there for a few months before he decided travel was better. He despises the Red-Light and everypony in it…but they are good for getting information.
So currently, he moves too quickly (animation is fine, he just flies across the screen faster than I would like), keeps spamming "Why am I in this little box!?", and stands there doing nothing when he's not zipping around my test blog. :T
Also yes this is what I do at 6am.

v.1 of Alto is live. Now to work on basics for Beau and Maizey, then try and figure out how to code Alto flying up and smacking into the top of the screen…
Some early concept work for Red Rum, the foil to Beau. Character foils are either very similar or drastically different from the character they're compared against. I haven't decided if I want her main color to be golden rum or wine purple yet.
Both sort of work, and I'm pulling towards gold because her pupils are purple, but I'm afraid she might be too similar to Beau then. Arc doesn't mind and likes both, so I'm stuck… :T
Her mane/tail will remain red though, I fell in love with her braid. If you haven't guessed, Connemaran unicorns rarely, if ever, cut their manes/tails.
((anyone else having a weird inbox glitch where some avatars aren't appearing next to people's asks and others are?))

And calling people *mod edit* is HIGHLY educated right?
Anyway......I'm sure the reason the iPhone 5 was so highly searched is because people were expecting an iPhone 5.......not a 4 1/2.
*mod edit*
Oh and your comment was educated and mature?
*mod edit *
I laughed when I read what you posted but looking through all of your nine posts it seems all you do on here is run people down. Not to be rude, but I think you have some growing up to do yourself.
Can they give it a rest already? iPhone 5? There will not be an iPhone 5! Why? Because the next iPhone will be the sixth generation, and it'd be stupid to call it 5. Now, enter the idiots complaining about the iPhone's name scheme! Well, let me explain.
iPhone - The first one, later called iPhone 2G
iPhone 3G - Because it had 3G capabilities and the G had nothing to do with "Generation".
iPhone 3GS - Because it was an improved iPhone 3G and again, it had nothing to do with a timeline or anything.
iPhone 4 - Because it was the fourth generation, although its model number was 3,1.
iPhone 4S - Because it's a slightly (very slightly) improved iPhone 4.
So, why in the world would Apple call the next iPhone, iPhone 5? It wouldn't be the fifth generation and there's no 5G mobile broadband service, so drop the iPhone 5 nonsense already!
*mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* *mod edit* ....
But, I do agree the iPhone 5 nonsense got out of hand before and immediately after the 4S launch. No reason to argue over it. Until Apple makes an announcement, which will not be for a long time, there isn't much sense speculating about supposed devices title.
Apple needs to come up with "the next big thing", not a 3G phone that runs at 4G speed. The next iPhone should set the new standard (IMHO.)
I'm not surprised. Everybody expected the 5 but whatever is next is going to revamped and a step up. I'm jug curious what apple is going to do next. I'm excited
You can glean the name of the sixth generation iPhone from the history of the iPhone. If it has a 4G radio, it will be called 'iPhone 4G'. Since Apple is slow, but not completely reluctant, to embrace new (cellular) standards, the sixth generation iPhone is very likely to have a 4G radio. Thus the next iPhone will be called 'iPhone 4G'.
You guys are over thinking this "generation" nonsense. Who cares what it's called... I know one thing for sure is that it will be called an iPhone.
If all u want is a bigger screen and "better specs" then please! Please! Get ur android and join one of those forums. Im with apple because its my preference. The UI is simple. The experience is polished. Why are there soooo many androidians on here doing nothing but bashing apple?? Dont ppl talk about apple enough on xda?? I guess not. Get ur google phone and move on!
I know that was off topic but it bugs the feces out of me! Sorry
I searched it on a few occasions to see what all the hubbub was about...
to all you people guessing what it will be called and what it will look like.... it will be called the iPhone LTE and it will be made from all glass outside

It's day two of budget planning for Savannah City Council. Council members are planning a proposed budget for next year, which may include funding to hire 60 new police officers.
Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Chief Willie Lovett wants to hire officers to help curb teen crime and violence after seven people were shot at the Coastal Empire Fair last weekend.
Lovett went before the City Council on Thursday asking for funds to hire the officers, which would include five juvenile officers and a drug squad.
The chief said the officers would play a vital role in keeping juveniles off the streets and out of trouble.
"Juvenile officers can communicate with the youth and give them some direction, and teach them things they may not be getting at home," he said.
The city and law enforcement are also encouraging the community to get involved by offering after school activities and mentorships to teens.
Lovett is asking for $7 million in funding but he doesn't expect to get that much.
The council has until mid December to approve a final budget.

Just to be clear, HP does still sell Windows 8.1 PCs, but is apparently hoping to increase overall PC sales by actively promoting a Windows 7 option.
Windows 7 PCs are "Back by popular demand," says the marketing line on the front page of HP.com. The company is offering $150 off PCs that shun Windows 8 for the more popular Windows 7 operating system.
Five discounted models are available -- three desktops and two notebooks. The HP Pavilion 500-205t desktop is selling for $479.99; the Pavilion 15t-n200 notebook runs $599.99; the Envy 700-215xt desktop goes for $699.99; the Envy 15t-j100 sells for $779.99; and the Envy Phoenix 810;135qe runs $999.99.
Testing the Waters?
So, what's HP up to? Just selling PCs, it seems, and trying to increase sales.
The company has posted declines in PC shipments for seven quarters in a row. By bringing back custom Windows 7 PCs and notebooks, HP is running a publicity stunt that could turn heads by leveraging the more popular version of Microsoft's flagship software.
Microsoft still supports Windows 7 and there's no indication that it's nearing the end its lifecycle, unlike Windows XP. HP may be testing the waters for the thousands of diehards who cringe at the thought of upgrading to Windows 8.1 when Microsoft stops supporting XP this April.
We caught up with Rob Enderle, principal analyst at The Enderle Group, to get his take on the promotion. He told us many people don't like change -- and that holds true with operating systems. The problem, he said, is that Microsoft has moved on and it is the operating system owner.
Promotion Could Backfire
With this promotion, he explained, customers are buying a current generation machine with an operating system that's two years out of date. The fact is, before to long, users will need to upgrade.
"What you are betting is the path from Windows 7 to Windows 9 [when 9 comes out] is going to be clean. Given how many people are on Windows 7, that's probably not a bad gamble," Enderle said. "For those consumers who really don't like Windows 8 and are willing to gamble that the jump to Windows 9 will be better -- and that's not a bad bet -- these machines [from HP with Windows 7] provide a very differentiated opportunity."

my fitbit has given me nearly 600 calories extra, saying that I was very active for nearly an hour. The only time I am very active is at the Zumba class. Is there any way of deleting these calories, or should I just ignore it?

Is it possible that is a combination of your general activity level, and the time you wore it at Zumba? If I wear mine during strenuous activity, it will give me extra calories from a combination of that activity and not being completely sedentary

No it's not that, at the time when I was supposed to be very active, I was in the shower and then having breakfast, and the fitbit was by my bedside! I am going to ignore it and hope it doesn't happen again.

Hope there is nothing wrong with it. My husbands first one did that a lot and we had to get a replacement. They were nice about replacing it though.

No it's not that, at the time when I was supposed to be very active, I was in the shower and then having breakfast, and the fitbit was by my bedside! I am going to ignore it and hope it doesn't happen again.
Did you manually log any activity? If so, sometimes if the time is typed in wrong or if the am/pm is wrong the manually logged activity will be in the wrong place. If that happens there would be some double counting--your logged activity and the fitbit detected activity. I've had this happen more than a few times, but luckily it should be easy to fix. If you correct the time in the activity log it should be fine.
Another thing, if your time zones are wrong on either mfp or fitbit (and if they don't match each other) that can cause this type of thing too. The calorie overwrite is very much dependent on having the correct time and duration.
Finally, if there is some other movement the fitbit could pick up where it was sitting--vibrations from an appliance, etc it could do this.
I once had it log mysterious activity while it was charging and I was sleeping in another room. I never found out why but it only happened once in two years of use so if it is none of those things. Well, it does happen. I would closely examine the times and duration though, as that is pretty easy to do and easy to fix.

If it is just a weird thing and not a mistaken log... You could log the activity you were actually doing during that time and correct that calorie burn (showering is an option in the fitbit activity database as is eating.) That should correct the calorie burn. It wouldn't correct extra steps though, if it logged extra steps, you could log it as driving to get rid of those, but the calorie burn will be that of driving (probably not much different though).

Yeah, unless you accidentally hit the stopwatch or logged an activity in either Fitbit or MFP... I would probably call their support and have it replaced.
Since you know exactly when the activity was recorded in the activity log, that to me says there is a problem with the device

I'm just going to ignore it and hope it doesn't happen again. Seems fine since, except it said I had climbed 50 flights of stairs when I was in the car! Easily corrected by entering driving as an activity.

The Empress and El Diablo
Toy Box Theatre Company Presents
The Empress and El Diablo
When forced to move back in with his parents, Eddie seeks the guidance of a fortune teller whose mysterious and shocking counsel isn't quite what he was expecting. The Empress and El Diablo follows Eddie Roberts, through dreams and reality, as he valiantly struggles with his horrifying destiny, his overbearing family, and a girlfriend who's too tired to fool around. Inspired by the writings of C.G. Jung and the Tarot of Marseilles, this production marks Toy Box Theatre Company's tenth season. The Empress and El Diablo will be performed with a live garage rock score by Colonna Sonora.
Beginning March 16, 2011
Toy Box Theatre Company aspires to engage the audience in a diverse and thought provoking theatrical experience through multi-disciplinary presentations and original works.

From Time:
In what experts say is a welcome nod to common sense, the CIA, having spent billions over the years on undercover agents, phone taps and the like, plans to create a large wing in the spookhouse dedicated to sorting through various forms of data that are not secret—such as research articles, religious tracts, websites, even phone books—but yet could be vital to national security, TIME's Timothy J. Burger reports.
Senior intelligence officials tell TIME that CIA Director Porter Goss plans to launch by Oct. 1 an "open source" unit that will greatly expand on the work of the respected but cash-strapped office that currently translates foreign-language broadcasts and documents like declarations by extremist clerics.
The scary part, of course, is that it's taken the CIA so long to figure this out. After all, so-called open source intelligence has been all the rage for, oh, say, a decade. The reasons it's been become so popular are obvious: It's useful to read what your enemy puts out and the stories about them--and with the advent of the Internet it's become much easier.
So why hasn't the CIA put many resources into it? Like many other institutional flaws in this world, it's about values--which ones the CIA holds in high esteem and which ones it doesn't. In other words, it's a cultural thing. Time explains:
Critics have charged in the past that despite the proven value of open-source information, the government has tended to give more prominence to reports gained through cloak-and-dagger efforts. One glaring example: the CIA failed in 1998 to predict a nuclear test in India, even though the country's Prime Minister had campaigned on a platform promising a robust atomic-weapons program.
"If it doesn't have the secret stamp on it, it really isn't treated very seriously," says Michael Scheuer, former chief of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit. The idea of an open-source unit didn't gain traction until a White House commission recommended creating one last spring, and utilizing it will require "cultural and attitudinal changes," says the senior DNI official.
Of course, over-valuing intel simply because it's secret isn't a problem limited to the CIA, is it?

Hi there,
I have created to new profiles: Pro1 & Pro2.
I also have 2 new .cuix's, they were made automatically when I
menuloaded my old .mns files. They are called Cu1 andd Cu2
I want Pro1 to contain Cu1 &
I want Pro2 to contain Cu2
The roblem I am having is when I menuload any cuix file it appears
in each profile, It has been so long since I did this that I can't figure
out why, can anybody help?
Thanks you in advance.
the command _MENULOAD does just add the CUIX as a partial menu to the existing main-CUIX.
To change the main-CUIX you have to use the command _MENU instead.
BUT: be careful, if your CUI1.CUIX or CUI2.CUIX does not contain workspaces you would have to create them from scratch.

Hi there,
thanks for your help, this has helped me get a step further to sorting my problem.

Mortal Kombat 9's bad language filter knows more bad words than I do
Most games these days have inappropriate language filters for names and chat, so you know… kids won't learn naughty words ever. But while some games only have a list slightly longer than the 7 Dirty Words You Can't Say on Television, it appears that Konami has recruited an elite team of the dirtiest minds in the world to create their language filter. I'm actually quite impressed.
As it turns out, swearing is a powerful pain killer. Fuck pain!
If you stub your toe or break your hand or have your jaw ripped off in a mining accident, your first instinct probably is to let out a string of expletives. And as it turns out, those words that would curl your grandmother's toes actually do help to get rid of the pain.

Should I apply for a job while I'm pregnant?
I?d like to work part time to meet new people and make extra money. I'm 21 weeks and starting to show. Will a company even look at me seriously? Should I just wait it out and start interviewing after my pregnancy?

Have you thought about going through a "temp" agency? These places will help place you in a job, where you will only remain for a specified time. This will help you very much in your situation. I went through a temp agency during my first pregnancy- I wanted to make a nice nursery and be financially prepared for baby. When I was upfront and honest, they placed me in a nice comfy sit-down desk job for 5 months. It was perfect. Good Luck!posted 03/31/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and have been interviewing for this position for the past few weeks. It's a process. There's a 2nd interview as well as a 3rd. The third interview is coming up and I wish I could know if they are going to offer me the position so that I can explain my situation. I already work full time,but I need a better salary and I think this job is going to offer more, only because my resume says what I want and they continue to call me. If they offer me the position and disclose the salary and it's acceptable to me I will accept, but I'm not sure when to tell them the news. Any advice?posted 03/31/2005 by Terri888
I'm 34 weeks pregnant (8 months) and got a job a couple of days ago with the federal government. Before last week, I was worried about not being able to find a job. My family needs two incomes, so staying at home was not an option. Me and my husband worked on the budget and decided that it wasn't enough to keep up with our financial responsibilities. Pregnancy is a wonderful time, but it is also a fact that even though is illegal to discriminate against a woman for this reason, employers still have this mentality. I got tired of people saying no all the time, and I knew for a fact that it was because of my pregnancy. One day I stopped and realized that I was on the wrong mind set. Pregnancy doesn't take away, it adds to everything that you are. The love for my family and my baby made me stronger to keep going, life is all about working hard for what you want. Don't let anybody get in your way. I didn't tell my employer that I was pregnant during the interview, even though I am obviously growing a baby at this time. He never asked any questions regarding my pregnancy. My confidence showed him that I could do the job, and that I would be better than anybody else at it. Remember, you are not just some pregnant lady, you are a professional (and it doesn't matter what you do). You can also go online to www.9to5.org for great information, they helped me tremendously. Don't let yourself down, get up and keep going. You are a mother, you are a woman, power to you!posted 03/12/2005 by Blessed 3 Times
I was in the same situation. I am 17 weeks pregnant with baby number 2. I had recently graduated and recieved my license and I didnt want to wait to use it, plus I really need the money. I am starting to show, but people just think I am fat. So, anyways, I got the job and I plan to tell them after I prove I can do the job even though I am pregnant. If you know you can work the majority of your pregnancy then I say go for it. I know I can do it because I did it with my first child. Good Luck, and dont give up because your pregnant!posted 03/05/2005 by Moran_mommy
I'm 27 weeks and in desparate need of a job! I have a part-time job, but no other money coming in and am living off negative income basically. I have money put aside for the baby but am afraid that if my finances continue to stretch, I'll end up using some of it. So...here I am looking for a job and 27 weeks! The only good thing is that I only started to show recently and am still able to hide it if necessary. I can't really afford to take time off when the baby comes because of my financial situation, although every woman would love to do so! So that is not a problem, however, I still feel that if I tell a potential employer, they will not want to hire me. Any advice??posted 02/26/2005 by BlessedLove2
I am 13 weeks. I've applied to a few jobs, and i thimk the best advice is not to tell them unless your showing. They can't be mad, or fire you if they hire you and find out your pregnant after.posted 02/17/2005 by Miabhot
I'm 25 weeks pregnant and was also looking for work. I went to temp agencies and was even offered a Shop MAnager's position for a new shop opening up in my city by a friend of mine who's the owner of the place! Though it's taking time for the expansion and I'm not able to do it for another month because it's taking time to open the shop up, I'm doing temp jobs till the shop finally gets under way. I'm showing pretty good now. Try the temp agencies and go through connections. That seems to work too!!posted 02/08/2005 by babydakota2005
I went on an interview recently and knocked them off of their feet. I had three interviews and did extremely well, until the third and final one. I knew in my heart, and gut, that I had the position and I felt the need to be 'honest' with my prospective boss so I disclosed teh fact that I was 18 weeks pregnant. I assured her that my abilities to complete the job would not be hindered by my 'condition' and that I had a wonderful support system in place for the baby once he arrives, but after dislosing that bit of information (at the conclusion of the interview) her demeanor changed and I haven't heard from them since. How disheartening. It is against the law to discriminate against pregnant women, but she got away with it. I also felt that had I waited to disclose it until after I received the position, an excuse would have been made to either not hire me (unable to check references) or a reason would be cultivated during my 90-day probationary period to not keep me on. Some "kid-friendly" people don't mind hiring pregnant women, but if they are otherwise, I'd advise you to be cautious and use wise judgement. Good Luck!posted 01/31/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Good Luck and don't feel alone there are many pregnant and looking for jobs out in this world. It will be hard but if u can aford it stay home and go back after the first year.

Yes..now then.
Been a long time eh? Lots to tell .. . think the last time we had words I was just on my way to the great city of Glasgow? Had a gig at the SECC I think? Top night as I recall. It always is up there.
There was a nice surprise before the show. Bonehead was in town and stuck his head round the door to say hello!! Hadn't seen him for . . . well fuckin' years!! He was in good spirits, he says hello by the way.
Did a gig at that 02 place in London couple of nights after. It was shit yet mega at the same time somehow. It felt a bit too big for me. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. Dunno. I didn't enjoy it much anyway. I seen people eating while I was playing . . . ACTUALLY EATING!!!!!!!??????????? Please somebody explain to me what the FUCK that's all about. Cheeky cunts! Tthere is of course a time and a place for such things and surely at a gig isn't one of them . . . is it?
After that nonsense it was good to jib back up to Glasgow for a little (and I mean tiny) gig for some competition winners in a place called "the Grand Ole Opry" which was neither grand nor old!! Great night though. Loved it. Next up was them NME awards. Bizarre affair that thing now. Is it an award ceremony or is it a mini indoor festival?? Seems like it's a bit of both. I was presented with the god-like genius award, which was nice. I must thank all the people what said such nice words about me. I'm talking 'bout you Paul Weller and you Ray Davies and you Bobby G and you Guy Garvey and you Sergio and you Brandon Flowers and you Sir Roger Daltrey and you you little Arctic Monkey chops and Johnny Marr. Had to keep a lid on the celebrations though. Had a gig up in Birmingham the next day. Great show. Some clowns down the front were seemingly hell bent on trying to start a fight. Luckily they never quite managed it. Knob heads.
Legged it up to Manchester that night as I had been invited to go and watch Man City train!! What an honour. Fuck me them boys can play. Got to meet and do an interview with the man simply known as . . . Balotelli. It was filmed by the BBC so you'll be able to see it soon. WHAT A DRUID!!! That kid truly does not give a flying fuck about anything.
You currently find me in the great city of Barcelona. Had a gig last night which was tip- top. Some of the lads were in a right mess from the night before. A dodgy rogan-Josh apparently!!!
Off to Paris now and I'm late.
Au revoir.ONWARDS.GD.

The City of Northfield, Carleton College, St. Olaf College, Northfield Arts Guild and ArtOrg, one of Northfield's non-profit arts organizations, are some of the groups involved in the effort, which aims to market Northfield as a destination for artists and art lovers alike.
"The idea of Northfield being an arts town has been around for a very long time," said Jill Ewald, assistant professor of art at St. Olaf and the director of Flaten Art Museum.
However, a more concerted effort was initiated this May to nourish the town's talent and showcase it to other communities and residents.
Much of the effort is related to drawing others into Northfield through arts related events.
"People think of an arts town as a destination, and some have centralized arts councils," Ewald said.
"The goal is to market Northfield as a destination, by having more activities," said Dave Machacek, the executive director of ArtOrg.
Another focus of the new initiative relates to improving artists' access to facilities. "We started realizing how many artists live in this town, and noted the enormous amount of talent," Ewald said.
"The goal is to address the needs of artists in town," Machacek added.
One of the ways in which the city is working to provide for artists is by creating affordable space to live and work.
"We're working with a developer, Mendota Homes, and the city of Northfield to put together a building for low-income artist apartments," Machacek added. The building would house "equipment-intensive studios," such as print-making, ceramics and glass-blowing work spaces.
"It would operate like a co-op, where each artist would pay a certain amount each month to use the facilities," Machacek said.
Besides an attention to the visual arts, Northfield is putting more effort into fostering the fine arts in general.
"There is talk of starting a northfield film society," Ewald said.
St. Olaf students seem aware of and interested in the developments.
Kali Johnson '07 thinks the town has made progress but also could remain open to new suggestions. "I think the new wine bar in the Ole Café was a good idea to attract artsy folk down here," Johnson said. "We could use some more statues, or perhaps an old cinema that plays old movies."
Meg Jensen '07, a Northfield resident, thinks the town's relationship to art has always been impressive.
"I think Northfield has always been really conscious about art. My elementary school had a huge art program, and in high school we were always going to plays," Jensen said. "I don't necessarily think that making Northfield more artsy brings tourists here, but I do think it keeps people in Northfield. Instead of going to a play in the Cities, people can go to a play here."

Been ignoring advice. Preview of the Cover.
Been ignoring advice. Preview of the Cover.
Cool. Are you using Manga Studio?
Btw, maybe you should add tone in the background to make the two guys pop out more.
I haven't added tone yet (except for on the bike). And yes, I'm using Manga Studio. (And my Tablet of course.) It's suppose to be @ night though, so I'm at a lost what tone I'll use.
I'll figure something out.
the matchstick girl is one of my favorite stories actually, but I probably do need to get out of the depressing story thing. I've been doing too many of those lately.
and pffft, hot fairy prince can very easily turn into girly fairy prince in my style but I'll give it a shot. XD
I'll post a rough sketch of the cover tomorrow if I can manage it.
@ Bacon
How about some speed lines? Do it inverted so the lines are white and the background in black.
@ angel_dreamer
W00t! Girly prince is fine just as long as he's hot! ;p
Can't wait to see thecover, btw.
On my end, I just finished writing some character profiles. I'll be doing some character designs next and start outlining the first chapter.
I don't believe it. I've actually done something.
I've decided to work on a black-comedy-slice of life story about a writer and his assistant. The original title was 'How to cure writer's block, get a life and quit smoking in seventeen easy steps' but, y'know, for obvious reasons, that wasn't really going to work. Above is the writer and the title logo that I doodled and ended up liking.
Also, it's definitely not going to be BL. Whatever the accidental bulge I drew on his shorts may imply, it is NOT going to be Yaoi.
Also, I've always wondered what Thumbelina would be like if it was set in space. XD
I... I guess I could dance, but I'm not guaranteeing that you'll like it.
Got some ideas running around in my head.... Ill post a sketch or two later
We submit it at end of feb right? I really really want to do something, but i'm scared i cant complete it!
i already have ideas for characters and stuff(already started sketching them), but all I could think of right now is childish-adventure-supernatural-cliched stuff.
Gulp, do i join?or do i not? i'll cheer on for you guys though!
I absolutely love your idea Dr.Pumpkin!
@ DrPumkpin
Thumbelina in Space. I likes. A space opera fairy tail.....
@ Saith
Woohooo~! I don't care. We gots a cheerleader guys!
@ saphira
Join! Join! Join! I don't know if I'll finish mine either but I'll try anyways. And yes, we'll shoot for February 28th but if you need a few more extras days to complete, then it's no big deal if you don't get it on time. The main purpose is just to get you started and try to complete a chapter in a supportive environment. C:
Oh, and I'll make you cheerleader #2. Anyone else wants to join the cheer squad? No experience necessary!

September 14, 2011
|Cassandra Yankala (Class of 2013) is currently enrolled in the Sydney program.
One of the most intriguing elements of a Rollins education is the opportunity to participate in extraordinary abroad experiences. Approximately 73 percent of Arts & Science students have an international experience before graduation, a statistic that ranks Rollins among the top 10 colleges and universities in its category, according to the Institute of International Education.
Nearly 250 Rollins students — the largest group ever in the College's history — spanned the globe throughout summer and fall 2010. The students traveled to 15 countries including Australia, Nepal, Scotland and Spain. 2010 field-study opportunities included trips to Costa Rica, China, Mexico and rural Guatemala.
"I think in order to be a global citizen you need to experience 'citizenship' in other countries," said Denise Lee (Class of 2012) who spent this past summer studying and interning in Madrid, Spain. "Any travel experiences, in or out of country, is an eye-opening event because you realize the little things we take for granted or think are the norm in the U.S.".
During her stay in Madrid, which was Lee's first trip outside of the U.S., she interned at International Cooperation Center of Participation and Integration of Hispanic-Ecuadorians. "I taught a 90-minute adult English conversation class that I had to plan myself," she shared." I also researched some children's activities to do during their summer camp, where I taught two English language sessions." Lee also studied Spanish and participated in weekend field excursions to Granada, Toledo and Candelario.
Around that same time, Cassandra Yankala (Class of 2013) was departing for her internship in Sydney, Australia. Yankala will work and study in Sydney until December 3. "While giving tours to prospective students, I always tell my groups that our campus is so much bigger than meets the eye for it stretches across the world," said Yankala. "Rollins provides such tremendous opportunities to travel, learn and see what it means to be a part of this world. It's something that I think is best understood when you are thousands of miles away, living outside your comfort zone, but knowing that you have the support and enthusiasm of such a great school cheering you on with each adventure you take. "
Yankala lives with a host family in Bondi, one of Sydney's coastal suburbs. She attends the University of Sydney and in October she'll begin a marketing internship at HOYA Lens Australia. "Every day I wake up and see something and experience something new, from getting lost in Australian slang to wandering around the city and discovering new parks, restaurants, and markets," she said. "There are moments when I am by the harbor that I have to stop and make sure this is real. I know that I will walk away with a greater appreciation of the world around me as well as a passion for traveling. Additionally, I think I have and will continue to grow personally in exactly who I am and who I want to become. A 14-hour time difference is not easy and Australia is just far enough away that you feel as if you are really independent, testing what you know and learning about who you are."
Start Planning Your Next International Experience at the Study Abroad Fair
On Thursday, September 15, the Office of International Programs will host its annual Study Abroad Fair, a one-stop-shop event designed to give students all the information they need to start planning their international experience. Advisors from financial aid, career services and representatives from various study abroad facilitators will be on hand to answer questions and make recommendations.
"This year we have completely re-designed the study abroad fair to reflect the interests and needs of our students," said Director of International Programs Giselda Beaudin. "The fair will also introduce students to our new approved semester programs: a Latin-American Studies program in Buenos Aires and an expanded partnership with SIT, an organization that offers hands-on study abroad opportunities in over eighty locations around the globe."
This year, two lucky student attendees will each win a $500 study abroad scholarship.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We just moved into the area this last year and we were trying to decide if we should send our children to a nearby charter school or to our neighborhood school, Westvale. Our children have been at Westvale since the beginning of the school year and have enjoyed their first year at the school. I have no complaints. My kid's 2nd and 3rd grade teachers are amazing. The communication between teachers/school and parents is very good. My kids have continued to excel at Westvale and get the individualized attention they need.
We just moved to utah this past year and we are zoned for Westvale. I wasn't sure what to expect of the schools out here. My 5th grader and I both love this school and his teacher. Rebecca Rendell is an amazing teacher and my son has learned so much from her. Overall this is a wonderful school and I am very happy!
Funny how the latest reviews blames the minorities and the poor kids for the failures of this school. The last principal was the wife of a bishop of a nearby ward. I bet the last review was written by one of her fellow ward members. Westvale is worst than schools in Glendale that have refuge children who speak a multitude of languages. shame on this women for blaming children just because they are darker than her and not as affluent.
When it came time to send my oldest to school, I put a lot of thought into whether to send her to Westvale, our neighborhood school, or to take her to a school that looked better "on paper" (test scores, etc.). I found out that Westvale has many students whose first language is something other than English, and also there are enough students from low income families that the school recently qualified for extra Title One funding. I decided that the test scores probably reflect those two factors more than reflecting badly on the teaching. I also felt a desire to contribute to the school as an involved parent, rather than seeking "greener pastures". Involved parents do make a difference! In our family's combined 6+ years at Westvale, we've been happy with the level of attention and learning our kids are receiving. This school has some excellent teachers, a good amount of involved parents, and helpful staff that listens to parents. I have had a few occasions when I've brought concerns or sought clarification for things my kids talked about, and I've always had prompt and helpful responses from staff. I also think the PTA at this school has done a good job, from what I've seen.
this school is just horrible never let your kid go here the teachers are mean
I was not impressed with this school at all. 1-In 6th grade my daughter had a teacher who spent most of his day asleep instead of teaching the kids. I emailed EVERYONE I could. Called the principal monthly and nothing was done about it until I called Get Gephardt. The teacher is actually not teaching there anymore. 2-The school psychologist and the teacher spent over and hour encouraging me to put my ADHD son on medication. It seems medicated kids are easier to handle.
My special needs son went to Westvale, and he was bullied horribly. His IEP was not followed, and the principal was not willing to work with us. When we discussed the bullying with the teachers, we were told that he was simply in a class of tough kids, and there was nothing they could do about it. My son's class had very low parent involvement. Most of the parents in the neighborhood who are involved with their kids education have pulled their kids from the school in favor of the charter schools in the area.
Teachers and staff are caring. They put their best efforts towards making sure children have the best opportunity to get an outstanding education. The students show respect to one another and their teachers. Westvale is a good place to raise kids to be responsible citizens and successful adults.

It's opening night for 5 of the 6 teams in tonight's matchups, and one is looking to pick up their second win of the season. Did they get what they wished for? Let's find out as we take a look at tonight's scores from around the National Hockey League.
Game 1
|Toronto Maple Leafs
|Philadephia Flyers
The Toronto Maple Leafs pick up their second win of the season as they defeat Vincent Lecavalier and the Philadelphia Flyers by a score of 3-1.
Brayden Schenn picks up Philly's only goal of the night on the Power Play in the first period. The assists on the goal went to Vincent Lecavalier and Mark Streit.
From then on, it was all about Toronto. In the final 3 minutes of the second period, right wing Phil Kessel buried one in with an assist from captain Dion Phaneuf tying the score at 1.
The next two goals were scored by former Chicago Blackhawks center Dave Bolland. His first goal was at 2:30 in the third period with assists from Joffrey Lupul and Nikolai Kulemin.
The second was at 19:37 in the third with assists from Joffrey Lupul and Cody Franson.
Three Stars of the Game:
Game 2
|Detroit Red Wings
|Buffalo Sabres
The Detroit Red Wings were able to edge out the Buffalo Sabres in this Atlantic Division matchup by the score of 2-1.
The first period was all about the Red Wings. The Wings struck first blood at 12:05 with a goal from right wing Mikael Samuelsson. Assists on that goal went to Cory Emmerton and Niklas Kronwall. The second goal in the first was 36 seconds later at 12:41 when center Pavel Datsyuk found the back of the net unassisted, bringing the Red Wings up by 2.
The second period would see 10 minutes in penalties between the two teams, but no scoring.
The Sabres tried to battle back in the third with a goal from center Zemgus Girgensons at 12:36 with an assist from Brian Flynn.
Unfortunately, that would be the only goal that the Sabres would see tonight.
Three Stars of the Game:
- Pavel Datsyuk
- Kyle Quincey
- Zemgus Girgensons
Game 3
|Colorado Avalanche
|Anaheim Ducks
The Colorado Avalanche routed the Anaheim Ducks in Head Coach Patrick Roy's first game behind the bench.
The Avalanche's first goal came late in the first period at 15:39 by center Ryan O'Reilly. The goal was unassisted.
The scoring in the second period would kick off at 8:38 on the power play with a goal from former Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Steve Downie. Assists on that goal went to Ryan O'Reilly and Alex Tanguay.
Just over 2 minutes later, center John Mitchell would find the back of the net again for Colorado with assists from Tyson Barrie and Cody McLeod. This would bring the score to 3-0 Colorado.
At 17:20 the Avalanche would find the net again with a goal from left wing Jamie McGinn with assists from the Avalanche's number one overall draft pick Nathan MacKinnon and Alex Tanguay.
The third period was much of the same. At 11:14 Jamie McGinn found the net for the second time tonight this time with assists from Nathan MacKinnon and P.A. Parenteau.
Just over 2 minutes later, at 13:42 center Matt Duchene would fire one in with the assists from Steve Downie and Alex Tanguay. This would bring the score to 6-0 Colorado.
The Ducks gave it one final push at the end with a goal from right wing Jakob Silfverberg at 19:53 with assists from Nick Bonino and Mark Fistric.
Unfortunately for the Sabres, it was too little, too late.
Three Stars of the Game:
- Semyon Varlamov
- Ryan O'Reilly
- Nathan MacKinnon

"The Del Rey," Now In Manicure Form
Mulberry debuted its latest It bag in February, and the Del Rey—a structured satchel with a top handle inspired by singer and muse Lana Del Rey—has lived up to its hype. The accessory has appeared on the arm of many an A-lister over the past few months and is even threatening to unseat Alexa Chung's Alexa bag as the British band's most popular piece of arm candy. Tomorrow, the Del Rey will have its official welcome party at Mulberry's Spring Street store in New York, where Zoe Pocock will be doling out manicures with her cult-favorite Nail Rock overlays. "We've always been fashion-minded," says the Brit tastemaker, who has partnered with designers like Mulberry's Emma Hill, Meadham Kirchhoff, and Gretchen Jones—not to mention retailers like Topshop—on exclusive prints. And the strategy has paid off; in our estimation, Nail Rock has some of the most forward-thinking designs in the increasingly high-stakes game of nail overlays—and a particularly good instict for collaboration. Its latest joint effort: the Lake Placid, two different prints inspired by Lana Del Rey's hometown and her preference for moon manicures, which Pocock designed for Mulberry. "We've just done it for the global launch," she says of the designs that will make the rounds from London to Korea as Mulberry's international boutiques celebrate the new bag. Although in a piece of good news for the manicure obsessives out there, Style.com has just learned that Pocock is considering making them available on her brand's Web site as well. Stay tuned.

This was fantastic! My friends are still asking me how I did it. I was afraid that marinating it would overwhelm the flavor of the lamb but it was perfect. Will definitely make this again.
Grilled Leg of Lamb with Mint Gremolata
William Meppem
Marinate lamb 1 day ahead, and cook a few hours before your guests arrive. Slice and top with Mint Gremolata for an easy make-ahead entrée. Boneless leg of lamb can be butterflied by your local butcher; call ahead so you won't have to wait. Watch for flare-ups when grilling over direct heat.
Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings
