Me gustaría comprar el programa.
Coach Drew,
I just created a play but whenever I attempt to save it, I get the error message that the plays url cannot be found and to try again later. Does this happen often?
Coach Mike,
You can delete cuts and/or passes by using the delete movement button
I believe the connection issues are fixed. Please let me know if you encounter any more.
It will not allow my plays to be loaded....Is this going to be fixed?
Love the program but how do i delete a pass/cut/ or dribble that I put in there by mistake? I can't seem to delete the cut without having to start the whole play over again. grrrrrr :)
The playbook seems to have stopped working! It won't load for my players or even when I log in myself and create a new play, it won't save.
One of my players even thought it was a good excuse not to know one of the offences last night :-)
Anyone else having problems?
can't save either?
It wont let me send plays through e-mail

THE EDITOR, Sir:
RELUCTANTLY I listened to the joint presentation by the prime minister and the finance minister. As I listened, I thought how great a paradise nation we could have been had it not been for politicians of their kind. I tried to imagine where we would have been as a country had our leaders taken better advantage of the plethora of opportunities that flew past us. I thought about the mismanagement and waste of public funds that the hard-working men and women had to turn over to the government in taxes, then they would ask for more, year after year, and we would have no choice but to give more even though we earned less.
The prime minister, in her address, asked us to make even more sacrifice in the form of the national debt exchange. The country's economy is at its worst; the rate of unemployment discouraging and families cannot afford the basic necessities. We, however, understand that some critical, and many times unsavoury measures, such as this are required, but many Jamaicans now believe that our national sacrifices over the years have been and will continue to be in vain. This, because there is an abhorrent leadership crisis in our country. Personally, I would have liked for the government to have demonstrated a unilateral sacrifice by perhaps taking a sym-bolic cut in salaries and benefits or something to that effect, just to say that we do this together.
In closing, Mrs Simpson Miller noted that Jamaicans are world leaders, and the excellence of extraordinary Jamaican achievements. Many of these achievements that readily come to mind are not as a result of national leadership but the resilience of our people.

The Referee |
Jim Burch has seen basketball and the South evolve |
Published Thursday, March 21, 2013 8:03 am |
March Madness is nothing new for Jim Burch.
Jim Burch, the CIAAs supervisor of officials and first black game official in Atlantic Coast Conference history, has deep ties to Charlotte. A former teacher and adminstrator in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, he also served on numerous boards, including the Charlotte Housing Aurthority. |
The retired college basketball official now watches as a supervisor and mentor of referees along the Eastern Seaboard. But Burch, who is 85 and lives in Apex, is more than that. Hes the Jackie Robinson of college refs, a trailblazer who opened doors for African Americans who were previouslylimited to historically black leagues.
I havent thought much about being quote, the first, said Burch, who worked 14 NCAA tournaments and was an alternate at the 1977 Final Four. I just wanted to referee.
Burch, the CIAAs supervisor of officials, and Charlotte are inextricably linked. He was a public school teacher and administrator who helped Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools usher in an era of desegregation as principal at Woodland Elementary School, teacher and baseball coach at York Road High School and director of the Title I program at Plato Price High. Burch also served on numerous civic boards, including the first African American to serve on the Charlotte Housing Authority. But its basketball for which is best known as a game official, and later as supervisor for multiple collegiate leagues.
In 1969, Burch was hired to officiate varsity games in the Atlantic Coast and Southern conference, a breakthrough moment for black refs who could only dream of getting into the upper echelon. He went on to referee in multiple leagues, including the Mid-Eastern Athletic, Sun Belt, Southwest and Carolinas conferences.
I was very confident in my ability to officiate at that level, he said.
So was Sam Lacy, the legendary sports editor at the Baltimore Afro-American, a weekly newspaper with a national following. Upon Burchs appointments by the ACC and Southern, Lacy, who is enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame for his efforts to break that sports color barrier, wrote in his May 29, 1969 column: It came in the form of a revelation that both the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southern Conference have certified Jim Burch of Charlotte as a varsity basketball official for the 1969-70 season
Burch was singled out here five years ago as the most capable young official Ive seen in the last 15 years of CIAA basketball.
The accidental official
Burch, who was born in Raleigh, grew up in Larchmont, N.Y., a suburb of New York City. He was a two-sport athlete at Fayetteville Teachers College (now Fayetteville State University), where he would later serve on its board of trustees, including two years as chairman.
I played football and baseball there and being on scholarship the coach always found something else for you to do there, Burch said. I ended up being the manager of the basketball team and I was given the opportunity to officiate some of the intra-squad scrimmages. I got a little taste of it and I really didnt think much of it in college.
After graduation, Burch became a teacher and basketball coach in Mount Olive, where hiring game officials usually from Kinston proved difficult because of the distance. A call to the N.C. High School Athletic Conference, the sanctioning body for black high school athletics before desegregation, resulted in a visit by future U.S. Olympic Committee president and N.C. Central University chancellor LeRoy Walker, to train and certify officials. Burch was among seven candidates to make the cut.
I worked a few games in the Mount Olive area, then when I moved to Charlotte to begin a teaching career at York Road, thats when I really got into officiating, he said.
Making mark on campus
Burch moved up to the collegiate ranks and the CIAA in 1959 but didnt call games until two years later. Thats when his career took off.
I got five games that year, he said. The next year I got 10 games and that same year I worked the tournament for the first time.
Making the transition to the ACC and other previously all-white leagues provided on-court challenges, primarily racially insensitive remarks from fans. As black players and officials became common, the insults became game-related.
I was accepted by all the officials, never had problems with players or coaches, he said. Most of the negative stuff came from fans, which you would expect because officials always get negative reaction from fans whether youre black or white. Fans can be vicious at times.
Or funny. As Burch and the late John Russell walked onto the court at Wake Forest University, an elderly white woman yelled out My God, theres two of them tonight!
John and I both laughed and kept on going, Burch said.
Those early days werent always a laughing matter, says David Dodge, who worked ACC and Southern Confernece games with Burch. Black officials took as much, and perhaps more, abuse than the athletes who changed the sports complexion.
Jimmy had a way of getting along with everybody, which was kind of difficult in those early days, said Dodge, a Division I referee from 1972-2001. Because he was changing the scenery, especially in the ACC, where it was pretty brutal for the African American officials that started the change process.
What we would hear what he would hear from the stands was brutal. I dont know how these guys withstood all of that. What the black referees endured back then was unimaginable.
Best of the best
Burch has high praise for the officials and athletes hes crossed paths with over the years. Hall of Famer Earl Monroe, who led Winston-Salem State University to the Division II national championship, the best player hes ever been on the floor with.
He was doing things back then that no other basketball player was doing, he said. I worked games with (N.C. State legend David) Thompson and Michael Jordan and all the others, but the best basketball player I ever officiated in college was Earl Monroe.
Burch called Southern Conference and ACC peer Jimmy Howell, an African American who worked multiple Final Fours, the best referee hes worked with.
A no-nonsense guy, Burch says. Ran the court very well. Had good court presence and he and I hit it off.
Another was Lenny Wirtz, a legend in the Atlantic Coast Conference who was instrumental in helping Burch make the transition to the Division I league.
Lenny was one of the few officials I could look down to because he was shorter than I am, the 5-foot, 8-inch-tall Burch said of the 5-foot-6 Wirtz. He was a big help in my career.
The best game he officiated? A triple-overtime thriller between Norfolk State and N.C. A&T State in the 1968 CIAA tournament final. Norfolk State won 134-132.
Whats ironic about that game is that I worked the high school 4A championship game that afternoon, Burch said. That night I was the referee for the CIAA championship game. The captain at A&T said Mr. Burch, didnt I see you at the high school championship game today? Were going to run your legs off. I didnt know how much of a prophet he was.
Secure in success
Burch was a trailblazer in the high school ranks as the first African American game official in the N.C. High School Athletic Association as well as the NCAA tournament up to the regional final. Todays officials go to camps and are required to be in top physical condition. The goal for most is to move up the ladder where the prestige and pay reflect the status of competition.
College officiating is a business and as a businessman, you want to go where you can make the most money, he said. The college ranks were paying more than the high school ranks.
Burchs accolades are numerous. Hes been inducted into seven halls of fame, including the CIAA Officials, MEAC Officials, NCHSAA, Fayetteville State Athletic and South Atlantic Conference. One on-court honor that eluded him is the Final Four, but his place in the sports history is secure.
We know the story of Jackie Robinson, but not so many people knew what was happening with Jim Burch and Jim Howell, said Dodge, who is retired and living in Carlsbad, Calif. They were true pioneeers.
For these referees who were always targets, especially in the ACC where it was very difficult to officiate in those days, it was a tribute to their personality, their integrity, everything about them.
The article is updated to reflect Burch was principal at Woodland Elementary School and teacher and baseball coach at York Road High School.
I know Jim Burch to be a good man, a great mentor, and a man I inspire to be like. He has my upmost respect. |
Posted on April 25, 2013 |
Jim Burch, Jim Howell and David Dodge all are great guys and made a significant contribution to the basketball officiating community. Well written Mr. White. |
Posted on March 22, 2013 |
Mr. Burch sounds like a great man who's been doing great things all his life as an educator and an official. Thanks for the article. |

When I came into Abbey Chiro for the first time, my neck and lower back were really sore and at times the pain got nearly unbearable. After just a few appointments the pain nearly went away completely and I also got a better idea of how to take better care of myself, which has helped me to prevent the really bad pain.
I found it very pleasant that the pain I had is now gone, as the pain I had improved after each appointment. The chiropractic treatment I received made me feel very comfortable and I got great advice from my chiropractor.
I would recommend chiropractic care to any one who had similar problems to me, as it worked for me.
Before I came into the clinic my lower back and neck were sore for a few months. At first I didn't want to go and see a chiropractor as I was afraid of painful treatment, but it wasn't like that at all. Now I am really happy that I decided to go for it, as I feel a lot better and I don't get the really bad pain anymore.

Oregon Fishing Report, June 6, 2012
Pete Heley
Although a few diehard spring chinook fishermen, willing to deal with the increasing amount of moss in the Umpqua River, are still catching some fish, the best recent salmon-fishing news has been a rather consistent bite in the ocean between the Umpqua River Bar and Charleston. Over last weekend, when sport anglers could get out, they had consistent chinook action as long as they were fishing in water less than 100 feet deep. Deeper water seemed to yield only cohos and let's hope they stick around until the July 1st ocean opener makes the finclipped ones legal angling fare. Almost all of the recent chinook catches have been feeder chinook weighing from eight to 16 or 17 pounds with a few larger chinook, possibly late-arriving spring chinook, also entering the catch. One of the larger chinook, a 30 pounder, was taken by Dave Roe of Lakeside, on Sunday, while fishing between Tenmile Creek and Charleston.
Some of the Coast Guard personnel stationed in Winchester Bay have been casting spinners into the East Boat Basin near their station over the last week and hooked a number of cutthroat trout as well as a steelhead, and adult and jack spring chinooks.
Although the halibut fishing has been somewhat disappointing so far this season, especially when it comes to the size of most of the fish, some very nice-sized halibut were taken last week by boats fishing northwest of Florence. Bill Gates, our very seasoned fish checker, reported that the boat he was on accounted for halibut weighing 70 and 90 pounds. Usually the quality of the halibut fishing gradually shrinks, but let's hope this year is different.
Fishing has been erratic for the "pinkfin" that run up the Umpqua River to spawn between Winchester Bay and Gardiner. While a few anglers seem to get limits or near limits each day, the perch have been hard to find for most anglers over the last week. If the perch anglers are concentrated in only a few spots (such as across from the entrance to the East Boat Basin and near Marker 12), the chance of finding the perch when they are elsewhere is unlikely. While the perch run should last at least six more weeks, there is easily enough perch in the Umpqua right now to provide hot action when they are biting and nearby. A good portion of the flounder taken in the Umpqua each year are incidentally taken by anglers fishing sand shrimp for pinkfin during their spawning run. As usual, the male pinkfin remaining along the local beaches after the female perch ascend the river often bite much better than the females do.
Sturgeon fishing remains slow and although they are available to be caught in the Umpqua, the fishery will never rebound until the Columbia sturgeon fishery achieves its former glory. It wasn't so many years ago, that sturgeon spawned so successfully in the Columbia that thousands of the small sturgeon had to leave the river to find enough food to survive. Competition for food in some sections of the Columbia among the smaller sturgeon was tremendous and some of my friends have even caught sturgeon while fishing spinnerbaits for on the Columbia for bass and walleyes. The small sturgeon that left the Columbia River were usually right at or just above the minimum legal length when they entered the lower reaches of many Oregon coastal rivers and the Umpqua always seemed to get more than its share of the migrant sturgeon. With a burgeoning stellar sea lion population added to the sport and commercial sturgeon fisheries, the long term health of the Columbia's sturgeon population does not look good.
The South Jetty has been fishing well for bottomfish. Tony Stark, who caught a limit of rockfish on a herring rig recently, while fishing the South Jetty from a boat, caught a quick limit of rockfish on Sunday while using crappie jigs. On Sunday, his rockfish averaged two pounds.
A very few anglers are enjoying consistent striped bass action on the Smith River at night. Most are fishing with some sort of bait and the amount of floating or suspended debris in the Smith makes fishing lures rather difficult. There has been some very good shad catches made on the Umpqua, but overall fishing success has been fair at best.
Many area lakes will be stocked this week prior to the "Free Fishing Weekend" this coming Saturday and Sunday (June 9th and 10th). Lake Marie will be stocked this week with 1,000 legal rainbows and will have a kid's fishing even on the lake from 9 am through 1 pm on Saturday. Area lakes that will be stocked besides Lake Marie include Loon Lake (1,000 legals); Empire Lakes (6,000 legals); North and South Tenmile lakes (3,000 legals each) and Cleawox Lake (2,000 12-inchers and 250 14-inchers). This weekend pretty much ends the spring trout plants for our area.
With very few exceptions, the smallmouth bass spawn is over and the same can be said for the largemouth bass spawn in inland waters. However, in some coastal waters the bass are just entering the spawn and there will be at least some bass spawning throughout June. (Eel and some of the deeper lkkes). In lakes like Saunders and Tenmile, many, if not most, of the bass have already spawned. The importance of the bass spawn is that it means that fair numbers of decent-sized bass are in shallow water and can often be seen or more easily fished for than when they are deep. Panfishing, even for yellow perch, along the Oregon Coast has been disappointing, but early morning fishing farther east has been very productive for crappies and bluegills with some yellow perch also biting.
While the Umpqua's smallmouth are becoming more active, the river is still high enough to make wading the edges of the river difficult, However, boating the river is easy and the fish are cooperative. While the river is still relatively high, it is important to concentrate one's fishing efforts on backwaters and the slower-moving sections of the river.

His three most impressive catches of Oregon fish include a 22 pound coho salmon from Tenmile Lakes, a brown trout of more than 15 pounds from the Crooked River Ranch area of the Deschutes River and a nine and a half pound largemouth bass from Loon Lake.

Two main reasons. One is weather control -- canceling the weather your foe wants gives you an advantage. The other is blizzard spam -- tons of stuff in this metagame is either weak or neutral to blizzard.

It's as addictive as a kick from the bass drum.
Seems like running something as simple as FocusSashAlakazam and FocusSashGengar would be enough to topple a lot of these teams but, I don't know doubles very well... Anyways, nice job guys.

Unfortunately he had quite a bit go wrong during his match and he wasn't able to pull the win at the tournament! It is a hilarious team and exactly the type of stuff I love to see. |

This is the story of the final days of the Jews of Hungary, rounded up by the Nazis in 1944. The story is told by five people, all Americans now, who, as youngsters survived the Holocaust. The film follows them back to their hometowns, as they recount pleasant childhood memories, then, deportation to the camps, narrow escapes from execution, liberation, and their journeys to America. Building entire new lives out of their turbulent childhoods, their tenacity is uplifting and their courage inspirational. Rated PG-13 for graphic images and descriptions of Holocaust atrocities.

2008 Saturn Vue Greenline: International appeal with eyes focused on safety and economy
By Mike Blake, Carlisle Events
Sunday, February 24, 2008
What is American and green-friendly, designed in Korea, styled in Europe and assembled in Mexico? It is the 2008 Saturn Vue Greenline Hybrid, an SUV without a sports-ute appetite or sticker price. Considered a compact cross-over SUV, the Vue is part of Saturn's line-up that shares styling cues with several of parent-GM's European children. The Vue is Saturn's top-selling vehicle in America and is similar in appearance to GM's international Antara. It has clones by other names around the globe, as this cross-over is known as the Chevrolet Captiva in Mexico, the Opal Antara in Europe, the Vauxhall Antara in England, the Holden Captiva in Australia and the GMC Terrain in the Middle East. If that isn't international enough for you, the '08 Vue Greenline is assembled in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, with 51 percent American parts. Built on GM's Theta platform, the '08 Vue is the fifth all-new Saturn model since the beginning of the 2006 calendar year, joining the Sky roadster, Saturn Astra compact, Aura sedan and the larger Outlook crossover utility. Its direct lineage comes from Daewoo in Korea and Opel (GM's European brand), with clear attention paid to stiff driving and handling, good fuel economy, light-weight construction, clean-yet-sculpted lines and large jeweled headlamps. Billed as "the affordable hybrid", the Vue Greenline offers a fuel economy rating of 25 mpg city / 32 mpg highway -- the best highway fuel economy of any SUV. That equates to a 27-percent improvement over the comparable non-hybrid model. It also has the lowest price of any hybrid SUV. The Vue Green Line's hybrid system combines sophisticated controls with an electric motor/generator mated to a 2.4-liter, inline-4-cylinder, dual overhead cam Ecotec engine. The hybrid portion offers a belt alternator starter system and a 36-volt nickel hydride battery and you save fuel through the implementation of an electric boost during accelerating. The system completely shuts off the gas-powered engine while stopped; fuel flow is carefully managed and the hybrid battery recharges. To comply with more stringent emission and diagnostic regulations, a new catalytic converter system with slightly elevated exhaust system backpressure has been added. Not built or purchased to blaze around town or at the track, the system puts out about 169hp and 161 lbs.-ft. of torque, and with a curb weight of 3789 lbs, the 180.1-inch-long vehicle lumbered from zero to 60mph in 11 seconds-flat during my tests. A quarter-mile run was achieved in a slow 18.3 seconds and I found that the low torque and power changes your highway strategy as it is wise to let on-coming traffic pass before blending onto the freeway, rather than trying to beat it into the flow. However, you still have a substantial sports-ute that averaged 24.7 miles per galloon during a solid week of testing in the snow and rain of several mid-winter storms around the mid-Atlantic region. I was surprised at the amount of buffeting the vehicle took and the wobbling it exhibited during wind incidents. The flat sides and the relatively high center of gravity made for a wheel-correcting ride. At 72.8 inches wide and 66.2 inches high on a wheelbase of 106.6 inches, the Vue looks like it would be more stable, but I found significant yaw during tight turns and top-end tremble during S-curve tests. Still, the economy and price are outstanding. With a base price of $24,170, there were no extra options on this test vehicle, and the destination charges of $625 brought the final sticker price as tested to $24,795. With the Vue Greenline, you get economy and you also get Saturn safety. Frontal crash tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration give the Saturn Vue five stars for the passenger and four stars for the driver, while side crash tests came in at five stars for driver and passenger. Standard safety equipment includes StabiliTrak with trailering stability assist for a towing capacity of 1500 lbs. You also get dual-stage frontal air bags, side thorax airbags (for driver and front passenger), head curtain side-impact air bags (front and second row), pedal release system, OnStar, active head restraints (front), dual seat belt pretentioners and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS. The Saturn Vue also provides interior niceties far above the sticker price. There is comfortable seating for five with 40.2 inches of front headroom and 39.3 in row two; 40.7 inches of front leg room and 36.9 in the second row; with 56 inches of shoulder room in row one and 55.9 behind. My Sea Mist Green test vehicle was accented by a Gray interior that was decked out with a standard CD stereo with MP3 capability and six speakers, XM Satellite radio, automatic climate control system with electronic controls, heated front seats, rear window defroster and wiper, driver information center, and an atmosphere of rich materials including chrome accents on the air vents and instrument cluster, with a low-gloss, low-glare upper instrument panel highlighted by embossed grain and amber backlighting. The 2008 Saturn Vue Greenline is green-friendly, wallet-responsive and stylish. That's a pretty decent bottom line for an SUV.

SlateV.com has done a quick 6 minute documentary on the brony craze. It's nothing we haven't heard before, but at least it's positive this time around.
You can find it after the break!
Also on their main page!
Hey, seth... You either typoed the title or the description... SlaveV.com or SlateV.com?
The intro pretty much turned me off of taken them seriously. While I don't find it that bad. But why dose everyone feel the need to push this only as a girl show. I know its easy but come on.
aw, look, first time i don't get overwhelmed by 45 comments, anyway, very nice view on our stuff... fu*k, hasbro, when u gonna see us, lil' bronies
Now this is a decent report on the fandom.
I like they chose to interview a fan who looks and acts presentable unlike the dregs at ponychan.
Speaking of which SlateV gets bonus points for not mentioning that cesspit by it's name, they just briefly show a screencap of one of their signature hugbox threads but that's no big deal.
I wish all reports on FiM were like this one.
I think they could have interviewed a different academic for their detailed explanation segment. The professor here tossed around some terms that went right over my head or were not as hashed out as I would have liked. Not to mention that I disagreed with some of her (the prof's) points... but other than that, pretty good video. Bonus points for using a nice-lookin' brony, too.
I will say I'm glad to see a fan who was a good representation of the positiveness of the fandom. The line "Well nothings for everybody" I think that showed the kind of message we should push as a community. That hey if you don't like what like its cool. I will say I wish they would have left gender roles and feminism out of it. Not everything has to be about intertwined with feminism.
I have to agree. I wasn't really happy to see gender roles brought into this discussion. We have enough of that already and I personally am not a fan of feminism shoved into my face. That and she was fair to well quit to really hear clearly.
Ponychan thread on the topic:
@Shaun Hegney
Put bluntly, the "gender roles" argument is an old meme in bronydom now. I wasn't really annoyed that it was brought up, but it was her presentation of it that bugged me. It seemed like she hadn't really made her mind up about us. Or which detailed explanation was best to try and explain us, either.
I dunno. *Ponyshrug*
Agh, FiM compared to Teletubbies? Not a fair, FiM is awesome because it is awesome, not because it is a big joke.
As Lauren states:
"Honestly?? I feel that people who call them that are ignorant a-holes. That's how I feel.
I didn't create this show for little girls, I created it for little girls and their parents--including male parents. It only stands to reason that adult animation fans without children may like it, too.
The belief that boys shouldn't be interested in girl things is the main reason there's hardly anything decent for girls in animation--- or almost any media, for that matter. It's a backwards, sexist, outdated attitude."
Pretty lackluster video. I found it humorous the little girls' reason to liking the show is "their funny and they teach you a lot of stuff about what you should do in your life". Proves what I've been thinking for a while now that children won't be able to grasp the true quality of the show.
I love how she just bombarded the kids with long words and complex sentences at the end.
Well, that was awesome.
I have to say, the ending with the girls playing Red Dead Redemption was hilarious. I have played that game a lot lately >_> Especially Undead Nightmare. Gotta love that unicorn XD
Ah, there's nothing like stumping a 6 year old, eh?
lol @ insulting people while hiding behind anon.
so pathetic.
I´m okay with this.
Yeah xD did she really expect them to get that?
That was a pretty good video, it had some character.
I really like both the show and the community... they are both fantastic.
Hey now, the grasp a different quality of the show. we appreciate the technical work and references to stuff, and they get what ever it is little kids get out of it. Like, role models, new ideas, and all that junk. i cant really word it, i've forgotten, to my shame, how to see like a 5 year old. All I know is its the same quality, just a different angle.
Anyone else think the older woman towards the end sounded like she was slightly auto tuned?
When I was in elementary school and watching television, I wasn't always able to grasp what I was watching, either, but that didn't mean I wasn't entertained by what I was watching. Now that I can look back to the shows of my childhood, I can view what I used to watch in a different perspective but still receive enjoyment from it.
@kefmaster You're using that quote out of context to defend an argument that Lauren Faust wasn't making.
MLP may not have had a young female audience exclusively in mind in the design, but the statement that "MLP:FiM is NOT designed for little girls" is flat out untrue.
It's totally legitimate for people outside the target demographic to be fans of the show (that was one of Lauren Faust's goals when she set out to make it). But please stop throwing a fit whenever it's pointed out that, yes, the primary demographic does exist.
It's possible that you were trying to say that the show wasn't designed with so narrow an audience in mind, which is true. But it certainly was designed with a young female audience in mind, and the video didn't misrepresent that.
I think this was pretty good. Yes, they started out with the little girls, but it is a little girl's show, people. They didn't make bronies out to be pedophiles or anything, and I think they did a pretty good job of explaining why bronies like it. Not the best video I've ever seen, but still pretty good.
i feel that the kids at the end dont know what skinning is. else they wouldnt want to do it to the horse
They picked a brony who knew what he was talking about, looked presentable and 'normal', and they actually covered it fairly and in a balanced nature. The only bit I wasn't a fan of was the comparison to Teletubbies, but... C'est la vie.
That was actually pretty okay... Slate's one of my favourite sites, but they can go pretty hard at stuff if they decide that's how they want to spin it.
That older woman towards the middle kind of lost me on her thought of why we liked it... What was she even jabbering on about? Also comparing it to Teletubbies is insulting.
I never quite understood why there HAS to be such a strong division and separation of genders and what one gender does or likes as opposed to the other. I don't see anything wrong with some guys liking some things that are portrayed as being "girly" or some girls liking some some things that are portrayed as being "manly". I say like whatever you want to like.
Hehe, credits feature! *flutteryay* I wonder how long it took Taylor to find the interviewed brony. It's interesting how she messaged me for suggestions rather then somepony else.
Not entirely sure how I feel about the psychoanalysis. I feel that bronies as a whole are relatively open enough to see beyond traditional preconceptions and after hearing the great music, seeing the great animation, and witnessing the witty dialogue and sharp characterization simply decided that FiM was a great show and developed a community- damn the traditional notions of what men could and should like.
Someone needs to make an account and correct that Zhukov character in the comments.
Everypony, I am Helldiver450, and I have GREAT NEWS TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MY LITTLE PONY SEASON 2!!!
I snapped a screenshot of the original production studio. SPREAD THE WORD! HELLDIVER450! MLP FIM SEASON 2 will be ready by December!!!
Did she really just let a 6 year old girl play red dead redemption? wow, and btw seth Its another pink celestia for goodness sake? how did hasbro publish that?
That was interesting.. a bit ill-informed, clumsy, uncomfortable, or downright disturbing in places, but..
.. And Teletubbies? Since when did Teletubbies get anything more than a fringe following outside its intended audience that wasn't just mocking it? I mean, that series had a few.. curious little things I sometimes liked to wonder about (.. Seriously, did.. did they live in a reactor?) but mostly it was almost as vapid as Boobaa (which I lost a half hour of my life to, once. Seriously, it came on, and I came to a half hour later wondering what on earth happened).
But, oh well, at least they're trying, and I liked the fellow they brought on to speak for the community even if he might have made a few points better.
I can't help but wonder if she would have 'gotten into it' as many do, though.. I do think the most positive and likely to stick way is to be shown a few episodes by a friend. And then a few amusing pictures. And then a few awesome pictures. And then get told there's this site called Equestria Daily that archives this stuff...
.. And then said friend tells you there's a MUSH for it now at which point you're basically trapped forever.. >.>
Well, okay, that, and coming depressedly from two of the nastiest MMORPG macro-communities on the internet, I fell instantly in love with the one that actually has 'love and tollerate' as its watchwords, but anyway >.>
Gotta say I didn't mind this at all, though the Teletubies thing could have been left out.....Those things are just creepy. All in all I thought this was well done, and the Brony interviewed did an outstanding job to say the least.
While I'm hardly unbiased, that smelled too much of a social scientist who's received an five minute briefing on bronies and asked to give an analysis or something.
Which I guess amounts to "you don't understand me, you're not my mom!", but my point is that given the size of the following, I think it's less about bronies working out gender issues and more about counteracting something that's wrong with today's society with regards to interests and perceptions thereof.
Ah hay, I can't say it better than Ms. Faust herself, who's commented on how backwards the attitudes are, sometimes.
Hackles raised/overreacting to a perceived attack aside, it was interesting!
At least it's trying to be informative and not taking a side on whether or not Bronies are "creepy or cool."
People that say "My Little Pony is intended for girls" is like saying "Red Dead Redemption is intended for boys." And while MLP is a "family show" (and RDR isn't necessarily a "family game"), it really doesn't matter what you do and don't like.
That was pretty good. I thought they did an alright job representing bronies. Certainly better than some of the other ones I've seen.

Created out of need. For a 40s-style event, I wanted blocky lettering with the square "S" I had remembered. Not being able to locate anything like it, I created this and gave it an appropriately "square" name. I finished up the font and forgot about it. Then I discovered "Futura Display" in a book; THAT was the one I'd remembered and wanted. (There are also versions called "Function Display" and "Gumshoe.") Mine was created independently of those, but it is related.

Finished! Not sure happy with him, but I think its a good start to using techniques like NMM and such. These are such small models, their detail is very difficult to paint...I enjoy the challenge, however

Looks gorgeous Frost. I'm going to attempt painting NMM on mine too (only been painting seriously since last september), but I understand the theory so really i hope it turns out looking atleast decent.
I've got a bunch of minis on the way, Nomad starter set, and a blister of Hellcats along with the rulebook, and 3 PanOc blisters for my little brother.
There's quite a bit of interest brewing where I live!
very nice model. i'm fan of the infinity minis (and i have a few ones to paint). yours have a strong "comics look", and i like it !
Do you think it'd be in bad taste to paint their "shell" green or turquoise?
Sweet painting, as always!

That looks awesome. Very well done, the base looks a little rushed though.
Smaller then 40k? Would you be able to post a pic next to a marine or something?
Can't wait for more.

Check page 1, sheep Im going to give the base a bit more love, but I dont want them to have too many layers of highlights and take away from the model.
Thanks for all the comments guys, Ill post a better pic of this dude later tonight.
*slaps forehead*
Thanks mate, yeah they are a bit smaller aren't they.
Look forward to the lovin'

That turned out really nice. The rifle looks great. I'm going to try sans-metallic on mine as well.
I also really like your hazard striping. It would be a royal pain, but if you extended the hazard stripe to the side of the base it would look really smokin' for your front arc indication.
Looking forward to some more.
Yeah, Im not sure what Im going to do for forward arc...I think Im going to mark the base somehow, just not quite sure yet Im not really happy with the stripes... I think Im gonna redo em, I was just sort of rushing them and it shows.
I might start a log, unfortunately I'm not the greatest painter.. but I am going to try my best and just have fun with these minis when i get them, I think 4-5 people are starting right now where I live. Hopefully we'll beable to organise a gaming night at the local shop. (and get more folks into it! )
I'm going to post you a picture of my last painted model and Empire Captain
(I don't mean to steal your thread! but tell me how i can improve.)
Thats pretty decent actually, maybe some more work on the white skulls to tone it down a bit. Since they are on his weapons I would have done them in metals to show them as forged etc.
Need more infinity from FF now =)
Nice painting there Frost. Don't really like the model but you;ve apinted it very nicely
The face could have a wash of Brown Ink and then a highlight of Elf Flesh, and the same goes for the griphon "kid" (what's the term in this case? I'm not sure kitten will work), although the highlight will be Bleached Brown. The brown feathers are dark enough, but some lighter highlights would work wonders, and then you'd need to paint the skulls from the beginning with (one of these colours or a similar yoou have or want to use) Snakebite Brown or Graveyard Earth, and then highlight with Vomit Brown or Kommando Khaki and then Bleached Bone and at last a fine highlight of Skull White. The metal looks really good actually, so I can't give you any advice at the moment.

asecondtoolate: thats a pretty solid model...you definately understand how to layer, my suggestion would be to push it a bit further, and build up more layers of color on the figure. His flesh and beard could probably use a bit more love. The metal areas look good, and so do the fabric Keep practicing, it makes perfect!

...Which is probably a good thing.
Anyway, good work, keep 'em coming.
Well after much browsing and debating in my head which faction I liked, I finally decided to throw my lot in with the nomads as well, and hopefully my box should be in the mail in the next couple of weeks. Infinity has another convert.

Telling Your Personal PTSD Story Can Help You and Others
Part One:
Just this past Veterans Day, November 11th, my writers group had our annual public reading. While I write about other things besides my experience with PTSD, I decided it would be appropriate to speak about my personal experiences of having lived with PTSD for many years, and continuing to recover from the illness.
It's not always easy to share such intimate stories of what has happened behind closed doors. But I have learned through experience, of the value "in the telling." I first started writing about my life after Vietnam, while I was in junior college. I had gone back to school after my divorce from a Nam vet.
I took a lot of prerequisites and did well, as an older returning student. Finally, I decided to take advantage of an elective. English and Composition had been my favorite class in high school, so I decided I might enjoy a Creative Writing class.
Much to my surprise, one of my first poems was about the heartache I'd been through, living with a combat vet, who did too much drinking, and was quite complicated emotionally. I'd also had many classmates who had been drafted and died in Vietnam.
I began to realize how deeply and negatively my life had been impacted by the war. I was surprised by the reactions of my fellow college students and my professor, to my work. They seemed to be amazed and curious about my life. They were very supportive and encouraging, as my deepest secrets were exposed through my writings.
That class was the catalyst for what I do today. Back in the 70's, PTSD didn't even have a name. We tried to keep our problems to ourselves. I only became aware of what PTSD was, back in 1987, when a crisis led me to the Veterans Outreach Center for counseling. I had to go alone, as my then husband refused to seek help.
I never dreamed then, that eventually I'd be speaking to groups about the subject. Dottie Walters, a famous speaker, has noted that when a person gives a speech, there is generally one person in the audience who desperately needs to hear what you have to say.
This was proven out to me this past Friday night. The last person who got up to the podium to speak, was a lovely young woman. She started out saying how much my speaking about my PTSD experiences had touched her. You see, her son is twenty years young, in the Army, and preparing to deploy to a war zone.
Recently, while on a training mission, the vehicle he was riding in, overturned and killed a fellow soldier. The woman's son was unable to speak for three days afterward, due to the trauma. So here he is, not even at war yet, and he has been dramatically affected for life.
After she told us about her love for her son and her fears for his future, she broke into song; a passionate, awe-inspiring rendition of Amazing Grace. That was some ending to our event.
As we were leaving the room where we'd had the readings, she and I nearly fell into each other's arms. We hugged for quite some time. There were a few words exchanged, (she told me I was amazing) but a lot was unspoken, while we basked in a feeling of mutual understanding. It was a beautiful thing for both of us.
Every time I share my story like I did that night, a piece of me feels like "it's been put back together." I'm telling you now, those who are suffering with the great pain that PTSD can bring, there is light at the end of the tunnel. You will be surprised how, each time you are brave enough to "bare your soul" healing can come in (often in unexpected ways) and start mending that which has been broken.
Shared pain can bring great healing. I know. I've been where you are. Trust me, it can get better.
In my next post, I'll explore this topic even more. It's one worth "talking about."

Carlisle rally tyre company unveils new road range
Last updated at 15:21, Friday, 01 June 2012
An expanding tyre company is taking on the industry's major players further by unveiling a new range and signing a deal for global distribution.
Carlisle-based DMACK this week revealed its new road tyres collection of which 300,000 will be made in the next year.
The firm is already one of only two tyre companies licensed to supply the World Rally Championship. The other is Michelin.
Managing director Dick Cormack says the move to strengthen the grip on the road tyre front – where its customer base will be targeted mid-market – has been years in the planning.
He said: "This is an exciting time for DMACK.
"On the back of exceptional performances of our motorsport tyres in the World Rally Championship, which is viewed by a huge worldwide TV audience, it's also an ideal opportunity for us to capitalise on the very positive press and media coverage the brand has received in the past year."
Initially, the new range will consist of four models, designed in the UK and manufactured in China.
All tyres will comply with the latest global regulatory requirements and to EU tyre labelling standards.
Dealers to sell them have already been signed up in Russia, South America, Asia, Australia and Ireland. The launch will be backed by a major marketing campaign.
Sales and marketing director Shane Harding said: "Our global appointed partner programme will give reputable and well-established distributors total exclusivity within their own territories.
"We believe that DMACK will become increasingly attractive to buyers looking to achieve healthy margins.
"Our consultative approach to meeting customer needs will also give partners the opportunity to tailor products for their local marketplace."

Training Shoe: Karhu Forward Ride
A unique design, perfect for running quickly
This lightweight neutral trainer has perhaps the most unique design of any shoe we tested. The fit is plush but very snug, especially in the low, tapered forefoot, and the midsole features one of the highest heel-to-toe drops we've come across. Combined with Karhu's midfoot "fulcrum" bridge, a rigid plastic insert aimed at transferring energy from heel to forefoot, our testers reported a feeling of forward propulsion, one that was both fast and smooth. It all adds up to a shoe that's most comfortable running at a faster pace with good mechanics. (And definitely not for slower-paced heel-striking.) A few of our testers thought it was too snug in the forefoot and too loose in the heel, but many reported the lack of overlays on the meshy upper helped mitigate the snugness of the toebox.

Vox AC1RV
A desktop amp that's got rhythm
This tabletop combo not only offers authentic livery but also a choice of 66 onboard rhythm patterns.
"The drums themselves possess that unpleasant Bontempi organ character."
We're staunch fans of the Vox AmPlugs and the base tones here, optimistically described as overdrive and clean, do owe some of their tone to those headphone amps.
The rhythm patterns are split into 11 styles, including blues, country, 16-beat and so on, and each offers six variations that can be further augmented by a manual tempo control.
Power comes from six AA batteries, which will give up to 26 hours of continuous use, or an optional power supply.
The gain, volume and tone pots do allow for a certain amount of tone-shaping, and there's certainly plenty of dirt on hand for a reasonably satisfying playing experience, whether using headphones or the internal pair of three- inch speakers.
While easy to use and varied, the drums themselves possess that unpleasant Bontempi organ character that's unlikely to appeal for any length of time, and we found the clean channel to be anything but.
Although the modest price would make it an inexpensive purchase, it's difficult to imagine anyone dispensing with, for example, GarageBand in favour of the amp section here when a warm up or practice session is required.
In these days of open-ended guitar software, and their ease of installation onto laptops and even smartphones, is there even a place for the AC1RV?
MusicRadar Rating
Choice of rhythm patterns. Cool livery. Tones.
Poor drum tones.
Arguably this is one for technophobes only.

Reed House systems uses an adapted form of the Scrum process, with some Crystal Clear and other agile methodologies included. Here is an initial shot at describing the way we do things:
Additionally, we like the following by Martin Fowler:
Here's a common misconception about agile methods. It centers on the way user stories are created and flow through the development activity. The misconception is that the product owner (or business analysts) creates user stories and then put them in front of developers to implement. The notion is that this is a flow from product owner to development, with the product owner responsible for determining what needs to be done and the developers how to do it.
A justification for this approach is that this separates the responsibilities along the lines of competence. The product owner knows the business, what the software is for, and thus what needs to be done. The developers know technology and know how to do things, so they can figure out how to realize the demands of the product owner.
This notion of product owners coming up with DecreedStories is a profound misunderstanding of the way agile development should work. When we were brainstorming names at Snowbird, I remember Kent suggesting "conversational". This emphasized the fact that the heart of our thinking was of an on-going conversation between customers and developers about how a development project should proceed.
In terms of coming up with stories, what this means is that they are always something to be refined through conversation - and that developers should play an active role in helping that definition.
This is the Negotiable principle in Bill Wake's INVEST test for stories. Any member of an agile team can create stories and suggest modifications. It may be that just a few members of a team gravitate to writing most of the stories. That's up to the team's self-organization as to how they want that to happen. But everyone should be engaged in coming up and refining stories. (This involvement is in addition to the develpers' responsibility to estimate stories.)
The product owner does have a special responsibility. In the end the product owner is the final decider on stories, particularly their prioritization. This reflects the fact that the product owner should be the best person to judge that slippery attribute of business value. But having a final decision maker should never stop others from participating, and should not lead people astray into a decreed model of stories.
