The universe is lacking in lithium — and instead of solving what's known as the "lithium problem," a new study makes it even more complicated.
The work, published in the July 13 Physical Review Letters, suggests that some small black holes could be acting as lithium factories. The problem is, observed lithium levels are too low to accommodate such production. Those levels are also much lower than those predicted by otherwise robust theories describing how the first chemical elements were created just after the Big Bang.
"This makes the lithium problem worse," says astrophysicist Brian Fields of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "But it could point to more exotic goings-on in the Big Bang."
Lithium, along with hydrogen and helium, is one of the few elements produced in the hot, energetic moments after the Big Bang. Unlike hydrogen and helium, observed lithium levels are three or four times lower than Big Bang physics predicts.
So scientists have been on the hunt for potential sources of lithium destruction.
But Fabio Iocco, a physicist at Sweden's Stockholm University, has proposed the opposite: a potential lithium factory, in the form of relatively small black holes weighing in at an average of five solar masses. As some of these black holes drain material from a companion star, the sucked-in material forms a swirling, donut-shaped ring. Iocco calculated that the swirling mass ends up being hot enough — more than 10 billion degrees Celsius — to ignite nuclear fusion and synthesize large amounts of lithium.
According to Iocco's calculations, even if just a tiny fraction of the Milky Way's black holes munched matter in this fashion, the process would generate the same amount of lithium as the Big Bang.
Fields is a coauthor on a second lithium study. In press at Nature, the study reports that interstellar lithium levels in a satellite galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud, mostly match theoretical predictions. It's the first observation of interstellar lithium abundances outside the Milky Way, as traditionally scientists have measured the element's abundance in the outer layers of stars in the Milky Way's halo. These aging stars, born when the universe was young, should reflect the chemical abundances during that primordial period.
"It's pretty straightforward to predict what abundance we should find, if we look at regions that probe the primordial lithium abundance," says astronomer Chris Howk of University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, a coauthor on Fields's study.
Looking between stars instead of inside them could help scientists determine whether some sort of unexpected stellar process — not fundamental Big Bang physics — is behind the lithium shortage. "This is exactly the kind of measurement we need," Iocco says.
Though tantalizing, the two studies won't be the final word on the matter, says astrophysicist Andreas Korn of Uppsala University in Sweden. "We're still at a loss for a consistent theory," he says.
Solving the lithium puzzle is possible if something is amiss with theories of lithium storage in stars, perhaps if stars process the element or shuffle it inward more quickly than expected.
Alternatively, it's possible that exotic physics affected lithium levels immediately after the universe exploded into existence. This option points toward a role for primordial dark matter, particles that do not comprise "normal" observable stuff like protons, neutrons and electrons. As these particles decayed, they destroyed lithium atoms and depleted the universe's supply, right from the start.
"At some level, we would dearly like this lithium problem to be real and pointing to something like this," Fields says. "The data will tell us what's going on."

I decided to start off with something simple and while doing so, I really wanted to do something with a heart shape in it first without using the whole heart. I initially thought a french, but then decided on doing something a little less obvious and went for the heart ruffian instead! I'm not sure if it has been done before or not, I honestly have not checked, but it was one of the things that came to mind and would be great for any beginners of nail art to try out :)
I did these nails with just the brushes of the nail polish bottle, so anyone can do this! I may make a tutorial on it, but let me know if I should?
Of course, I used the traditional V day colours for this mani. All the colours used were from OPI - the red is Big Apple Red, the white is Alpine Snow and the pink is Pink Friday. I will however, be trying to find some unconventional ideas for the later nail looks.

Great ammo (5/5) | Oct 7, 2010 | Anthony DiVeronica | Shawanese PA US | |
I carry these rounds in my Ruger LCP. They feed great and are very accurate. One thing that the picture dosent show or mention is the nickle plated casing. This is important too because it resists corrosion much better than standard brass casings. |

Tracey Ullman
Before she became a famous TV comedienne, Tracy Ullman recorded two albums in the early '80s that effortlessly recalled the classic girl group sound of the '60s. Ullman covered everything from Doris Day ("Move Over Darling") to Blondie ("[I'm Always Touched by Your] Presence, Dear"), finding the underlying connections between classic pop songs of all eras. You Broke My Heart in 17 Places, her debut album, was a hit in the U.K., and she even managed to have a Top Ten hit in America with a version of Kirsty MacColl's "They Don't Know." Although it had some fine numbers, the follow-up, You Caught Me Out, wasn't as successful, prompting Ullman to return to television. By the end of the '80s, her comedy show, The Tracy Ullman Show, was one of the most critically acclaimed television shows in America; she hasn't recorded any music since. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Camrock represents the best rocker/camber combination in snowboarding today, and has taken our entire board line up a notch. This tried and true camber variant will not disappoint for overall mountain performance. With camber between the bindings and rocker evenly distributed in the nose and tail, this is the all-mountain, all-conditions camber that will leave you stoked and smiling from ear to ear. Standard Camrock is the camber choice of our pro team and staff. It is the best hybrid rocker/camber profile on the market today - bar...
By reducing the wood and fiberglass in the nose and tail, and by reinforcing them with lighter, yet stronger, materials such as carbon fiber, Free Flex technology allows us to lighten up the board significantly while increasing strength, durability, and pop. Free Flex also dampens vibrations and provides a unique, light feel in turn transitions, due to its reduced thickness and profile.
BRAND NEW THIS YEAR! Following the 2005 invention of UG, the industry's first traction enhancer, Nidecker, always wanting to stay on the cutting edge, took the next step and developed the revolutionary ULTIMATE TRACTION (UT). With UT, Nidecker's engineers have taken serrated edges to ano¬ther level. By strategically positioning five bumps along the board's effective edges instead of using a more conventional serration, we have created enhanced reactivity in all conditions. As a result, you will have more control of your board and way more fun! Better grip anytime, anywhere. More hold and...
This fiberglass, produced especially for Nidecker, allows more effective edge response and overall control. We added a bi-directional carbon fabric to allow for more finely tuned responsiveness. This is the premium fiber composite used in snowboards today.
The optimal mix of vibration-dampening and reactivity, the Multi is made with pride in Switzerland. This light triaxial glass, exclusive to Nidecker, incorporates a multi-layered, multi-axis fiberglass that is stitched together, resulting in a straight fiber laminate.
This is a hybrid shape, combining the Twin-Tip and the Directional shapes. It will give you the float and control of a Directional shape, but with a twin "feel" that helps you perform better switch. The stiffness is Twin, but the inserts have a small setback like the Directional.
MasterCore construction is the result of our long history of experimentation in materials and woodcraft. It is the perfect harmony of different wood densities and wood species, which lightens up the core and results in a superior weight-to-performance-to-power ratio and an ultra-strong, uber-responsive, yet lightweight, core.
A fast material with a diamond-textured finish, this base is all about speed and the ability to take a beating. It also has superior wax absorption qualities.
Diamond-structured stone grinding is the best possible base finish. The grinding occurs on two axes to maximize glide, and to optimize the durability of the base.
Die-cut is a base-assembly process in which we cut out different shapes of base material, and then pièce them together to create bright, appealing base designs.
Duraclear The most popular topsheet on the market, the Duraclear is strong and tough, able to withstand constant punishment. Polyamid Only available without varnish, this topsheet is our lightest and most durable. Carbon We use carbon fiber topsheets to help create some of the strongest and lightest boards in the world.
Our edges have 35% more steel than typical edges, which means that they have two and a half times the impact resistance of other edges offered on the market today.
The industry standard sidewall, durable and reliable.

As the NBA Developmental League affiliate of the Portland Trail Blazers, the Idaho Stampede have been whetting Boise fans appetites for swishes and dunks since 1997. NBA D-League champions in 2008, A number of former—and future—NBA stars all learned the ancient spells needed to spin a ball on a finger while playing for the Stampede, who won the D-League championship in 2008 and broke the league's record for scoring in a game with a 165-point offensive onslaught on March 31, 2010.
Silverhawk Aviation's owner, Catherine Rad Weber, built a school not only to teach people how to fly, but to learn to love their wings as well. Her comprehensive curriculum challenges students to fly at high altitudes, in different weather conditions, and over diverse terrain, training helicopter pilots who will be comfortable in the cockpit anywhere in the world. The program includes hands-on experience in caring for the rides, moving them in and out of hangars, and safely washing them without getting soap in their eyes.
Whether training or touring, visitors receive eyefuls of southern Idaho's diverse geological features. The helicopters surmount rugged mountains, speed over mesas and high deserts, and ride air currents above rivers that wend their way into deep canyons. Apart from stunning the brain's beauty receptors, this splendor provides a natural obstacle course against which more experienced pilots test their skill, zipping around rock spires or hopping the feet of their craft neatly through pristine fields of tire plants.

His early success would pave the cart path to a long career that included 55 PGA Tour events, participation in four major championships, multiple tournament victories, and once saving a course-side community from a feral golf cart. Today, Jeff showers pupils with golf wisdom culled from both his 35-year competitive career and a certification from the Nicklaus/Flick Golf School. The passionate pedagogue helps players sharpen their game, lengthen their drives, and fold scorecards into paper cranes with hands-on, comprehensive lessons conducted at multiple courses throughout the hills of Treasure Valley.
Bowlers step up, drop, and roll balls down 20th Century Lanes' 24 modern lanes, ending in an eruption of clanking pins, hoots, and hollers. As the scattered pins are reset, the bowling alley's automatic system calculates the score while visitors lounge in plush purple chairs. Between frames, bowlers can fuel their forethoughts of turkeys with barbecue-beef sandwiches or pizza from the café, grab a cocktail from the Gaslight Lounge, or stroll into the pro shop to purchase a new bowling bag that matches their Sunday's best bowling gown. 20th Century Lanes also hosts events such as bowling tournaments and league play, and resident coaches lead private, couples, and team lessons.
Prague-born Filip Vogelpohl kindled his passion for glass blowing within his Boise home garage. As his knack for flame-working increased, Vogelpohl left the garage and traveled the world, honing his craft under the tutelage of internationally renowned glass blowers. Now, Vogelpohl welcomes fledgling glass blowers into his studio for small group classes. He also invites spectators to watch the studio's artists as they shape molten glass and borosilicate into jewelry or vases, which then go up for sale in the gallery. On the first Thursday of every month, the furnaces keep firing until 9 p.m. during free glass-blowing demonstrations as a part of the First Thursday Art Walk.

I have been an Andis user in the USA since 2005.
Recently gifted this product to a friend in India.
He was confused what he's supposed to do with it.
But when he used it, he cant help but carry it in his toiletries kit wherever he
travels. He recently bought some other Andis product for himself from Flipkart.
That clearly shows, MNT3 worked.
Was too tempted to write a review when I saw some wrong expectations being voiced as concerns. I understand that people have not matured to the use of personal care appliances in India. Trimmers are supposed to be trimming, clippers are supposed to be clipping and grooming kits are supposed to be grooming.
Things go wrong when you have the right expectations but buy a wrong product.
Thanks Flipkart for getting us this lovely brand to India.
And thank you for the impeccable service rendered to the country.
Had heard about Andis when I was in the USA.
Never bought one then.
Bought one in India since I wanted to ACTUALLY GROW out of the
typical Indian home-appliances brands which are ALSO making personal
care products.
1 - Fits neatly anywhere you want it to - hands, shaving kit, toiletries kit, bathroom cupboard, travel bag, purse, practically anywhere.
2 - Works superb with fully charged batteries
3 - Looks neat (you don't need the stand to be carried everywhere you go)
1 - I wish you could give us these looks, feel, figure and form in a chargeable device. I would rate you 10 stars for it.
Thank you Andis.
Thank you Flipkart.
Great: Compact piece of machinery, light weight, easy to fit and use
Good: Nice performance! Provided you keep the batteries well charged. I thought trimming hair at home would get messy. But this piece of electronics proved me wrong
Bad: For this price they could have included some more attachments...( Greedy Me ? Huhh ???)
This is an excellent piece of grooming from the world renowned Andis. But if you are expecting it to be a complete grooming kit, you will be disappointed.
It is a neat little mustache, side burns, and nose and ear hair trimmer which will fit into your pocket if you forget to pack it in your bag by mistake....!!!
Plus: Flipkart's service is a benchmark. This is my 3rd order within a week. They are unimaginably good at delivery. They should get into mainstream logistics.
Cons: The product. Not worth it. I fell for the low price tag. Though it looks classy and feels like you are holding a real good product, I doubt the usability. It is severly underpowered. A single AA battery is not going to be give enough juice. Its good for your nose or ears, but if you need to maintain a goatee/moustache/ sideburns, this is not the product. It does not have sub attachments for the trimmer.
It's a superb product for a little grooming here and there.
Do not blame my review if you buy this product for heavy duty trimming and clipping.
Fits his shaving kit neatly. It's much smaller than his shaving foam bottle.
Loved the way it does. You don't the stand all the time especially when
you are traveling.
Bought this product as Christmas gift for my dear one.
It got delivered in 3 days flat in a neat packing.
Thanks Andis. Thanks FlipKart.
If you gave me a rechargeable battery with this product I would
rate you 5 Stars...No complains whatsoever. I am giving you 5 stars.
This is a good product from a good brand, but make sure you know what you are buying. You can only trim the edges of you beard,...
Read MoreGreat service on product delivery however the product was not upto my expectations. I dont recommend strongly about buying this...

The build of the product is soft-touch rubber.
You will love to flaunt it in your travel and grooming kit.

By: Jason Carroll, The Razorback Nation

As of about 9:30 p.m., one dream had come true.
Thousands of tweets poured in with the hashtag #TebowCallMatt until it was trending nationally. Then, the phone rang in Matt Hardy's hospital room. It was New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow calling for the Shenendehowa High School junior and football player. Hardy's brother, Mike, tweeted "TIM TEBOW JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MATT! SUCH A CLASS ACT!!"
A few minutes later, Tebow tweeted: "Thanks to everyone who got #TebowCallMatt trending & helped connect us. Matt truly inspired me. God bless y'all"
Meanwhile, tweets urging Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin and Olympic diver Tom Daley to call Bailey Wind, a Shaker High School senior also injured in the crash who is on her school's swimming and diving team. The hashtags #MissyCallBailey and #DaleyCallBailey are also trending on Twitter.
Two other students were killed in the crash, Shenendehowa seniors Chris Stewart and Deanna Rivers. As news broke Sunday of their deaths mourners also turned to Twitter, using the hashtag #RIPChrisAndDeanna to share their grief.

It's a situation that every baseball or softball player dreams about when they step foot on a diamond, and Marlboro Academy pitcher Bailey Jacobs found herself smack-dab in the middle of it last year.
With a 2012 South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) AA State Championship on the line back in May of 2012, Jacobs stood on the mound after 6 2/3 innings pitched and her team up 3-2 over the Thomas Heyward Academy lady Rebels.
It was the bottom of the seventh inning, with two outs, the bases loaded and a full count registered on the batter, Thomas Heyward's Ashlie Layman. Jacobs stood before hundreds of fans at the lady Rebels' home field located in Ridgeland, S.C. and the game had ultimately come down to one final pitch.
"I was definitely scared," said Jacobs, a two-time SCISA region 4-AA player of the year. "But I had worked hard to get to that point of my career, so I trusted myself that I had what it took to finish the game."
Jacob's next pitch was a perfectly-placed curve ball that brushed the outside corner of the plate for a strikeout. And with that, the Lady Dragons began to celebrate winning the first state championship in Marlboro Academy softball history.
Coach Norman Quick (part of Marlboro Academy coaching trio consisting of Quick, Boyd McLaurin and Scotty Jacobs) was calling pitches for Jacobs that day. And according to Quick, Jacobs has made the ability to perform in pressure-packed situations a common occurrence throughout her decorated career.
A career which Jacobs will continue at Florence-Darlington Technical College, which she will attend in the fall.
"She is, without question, the most dominant pitcher I've seen," Quick said. "It's easy to call pitches for Bailey, because she has such good command of her throws. She is our go-to pitcher because she's not afraid to make the throws needed to win."
A Laurinburg-native, Jacobs started playing softball at 9 years-old and was a member of one of the first Laurinburg Optimist softball squads. And from there, Jacobs became an anchor on one championship-caliber team after another, including finishing her 8th-grade year at Carver Middle School as part of a Southeastern Conference championship-winning lady Eagles squad.
And then her Marlboro Academy career began, which saw Jacobs obtain her greatest success to date in 2012. As a pitcher for the lady Dragons, Jacobs compiled a combined 18-3 record her junior year, notching 178 strikeouts over the course of 122 innings pitched, good for a 1.61 ERA. She proved equally potent from the batter's box, as Jacobs firmly entrenched herself in the clean-up spot for Marlboro Academy and batted .455 with 35 hits (13 doubles, 2 triples and a home run), 17 runs scored and 36 RBIs.
Four of Jacobs' wins came in the postseason during Marlboro Academy's road to the SCISA state championship, where she went undefeated and allowed just five earned runs through 24 innings pitched. Jacobs pitched every inning of the championship series against Thomas Heyward, which saw the lady Dragons clinch the series in consecutive games by scores of 4-3 and 3-2.
"Bailey has truly exceeded my expectations in softball, and it has been wonderful to see her grow into a true talent," said Marlboro Academy coach Scotty Jacobs, father of Bailey. "I never dreamed that she would get to this point, but through it all she has relied on the concept of team. I'm so happy to watch her fulfill her dream of playing college softball."
Jacobs has one final season left at Marlboro Academy, and she has spent the offseason sorting through a slew of NCAA Division-1 and 2 collegiate programs that showed interest in her.
But her decision to sign with Florence-Darlington, a two-year college, stemmed from the career path she intends to follow when her student athlete career concludes: Jacobs wants to be an X-Ray Technician.
And fueled by the competitive fire that has defined her softball career up until this point, Jacobs sees the opportunity to join the Tech lady Stingers as an opportunity to hit the ground running right away.
"I had many opportunities to go to bigger programs, but I love to play softball and I don't want to sit on the bench waiting for my shot," Jacobs said. "I love the campus at Florence-Darlington, but the opportunity to keep playing softball and pursuing what I want to do with my career was all I really needed to hear."

"I'm just happy; happy I can be back with my family and out of danger," PFC Chew. "It's just nice to see how many people really care about us," said Airman First Class David Winchell.
The warm welcome brought Chew and her fellow servicemen and woman to tears - tears of joy to be home for the first time since she was deployed in Afghanistan nine months ago.
"It's just nice to see everyone supporting us," said PFC Chew.
"I'm so proud of her," said her mother Emilia Chew. "She has grown so much; she's learned so much. She learned how to appreciate so much just seeing, in a third-world-country, those she was fighting for and against."
Chew is following in her mother's footsteps, who's a retired Army nurse.
The 24-year-old said she made the choice to join the Army in May of 2011 after racking up thousands of dollars in student loans.
Now, she's finishing her degree while serving.
Serving in the Army has kept her busy fighting in three different battles and picking up a couple medals along the way.
"I got the Combat Army Badge. That's when you're engaged by the enemy or you're directly engaging the enemy. And I got my ARCOM (Army Commendation Medal) Medal," said PFC Chew.
And before she heads back to her base in Colorado in mid-Jan., Chew said she's looking forward to having a little fun for the holidays and filling up on some of her favorite Buffalo food.
"Pizza, La Nova's, Philly Cheesesteak, Greek Souvlaki, a Big Mac," she said with a laugh.
But she said being home for the holidays is the biggest treat of all.

text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2009-10 Ready-To-Wear Gareth Pugh 04 March 2009 Jessica Bumpus HE wowed in Paris with his debut menswear collection back in January (Delphine Arnault, daughter of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, described it as "amazing"), so it seems only fitting that the next time he was back in the French capital he should be doing the same, this time with his womenswear collection for autumn/winter 2009-10. This evening the Sunderland-born designer showcased his collection via a film with Natasa Vojnovic taking the lead role, modelling each of the sinister and dark looks we have come to know and love from Pugh. Conversely, though confined to the screen, the collection seemed to explore a more relaxed, free-flowing silhouette this time round, which came via trapeze-shaped capes and cloaks, high waist wide-leg trousers, hooded robes and trumpet-shaped sleeves splaying out from floor-sweeping dresses. Boasting talons of lilac and lengthy proportions, exaggerated eyeliner and smoky eyes, Vojnovic's first look out comprised the aforementioned cloaks topped off with a furry hat and thigh-high platform boots. These were to come with every look, later evolving to share the same spike adornments that came on the body-con dresses (slashed at the neck, in black and silver), and the scarves that cleverly unwrapped into jackets above. There was the definite feeling that, with this collection and more so than usual, we could actually wear the pieces. As much as we have wanted to don his monochrome Elizabethan ruffs in the past (truly stunning from spring/summer 2009), this time, we really could see ourselves wearing the chic high waist trouser and high neck ensemble or the all-enveloping cloaks. Sinisterly sophisticated, Pugh is still full of surprises. SEE THE GARETH PUGH SHOW ARCHIVE

No more magic: Wakeland's season ends after 9-2 loss to Heath
BY CHRIS O'DELL, firstname.lastname@example.com
MCKINNEY -- It was a situation Wakeland had found itself in for the fourth time during the postseason.
Saturday's contest against Rockwall-Heath was yet another must-win Game 3 for the Wolverines in order to avoid ending their season.
Despite prevailing in the first three decisive third games, Wakeland wasn't able to repeat that magic during Saturday's regional finals matchup against the Hawks.
"Hats off to coach [Greg] Harvey and his team," said Barry Rose, Wakeland head coach. "They deserve to go to state."
Heath was led by the stellar performance of senior pitcher Jake Thompson, who went the distance on the hill for the win.
"[Thompson] is as good as there is around here," Rose said. "I thought we competed against him though."
The Wakeland offense began the game looking unintimidated by Thompson and scored two runs in the opening inning for an early lead.
Senior Hayden Nixon began the game with a leadoff single to center field after fouling off multiple full-count pitches. Following a strikeout of sophomore shortstop Grant Devore, Thompson then gave up an RBI double to senior Willie Schwanke for the game's first run.
Schwanke would score later in the inning on a passed ball after stealing third base during a previous at bat.
Despite the early 2-0 deficit for Heath, the Hawks came back in the home half of the first and scored their first run on an RBI triple from junior Bret Boswell that drove home Thompson from first.
Heath then knotted the game at two runs apiece in the second inning after senior Austin Stewart made Wakeland junior starting pitcher Cameron Brockhoff pay for a leadoff walk to senior Timbo Duncan.
After earning the win on the mound for Wakeland's first three Game 3's of the playoffs, Brockhoff couldn't continue his playoff magic Saturday night.
The junior lasted only 2.2 innings on the mound, surrendering six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out just two hitters.
Brockhoff's undoing came in the third inning after surrendering four runs in the frame.
The inning began with a leadoff double from Heath senior catcher Jovan Hernandez. Brockhoff then registered one of his two strikeouts in the game by fanning Thompson for the first out of the inning.
However, Boswell followed Thompson's strikeout with an RBI single to score the go-ahead run.
Heath eventually loaded the bases with two outs after walks to seniors Jake Bledsoe and Grayson Lewis. Brockhoff couldn't pitch out of the jam and hit the next batter to score one run before surrendering a 2-RBI double to Stewart.
"[Heath's] entire lineup battles every at bat," Rose said. "They don't let you off the hook and that's what good teams do."
Sophomore Austin Gehle entered the game in relief of Brockhoff and wasn't any more effective.
After getting the final out of the third inning, Gehle gave up a leadoff double to Hernandez to begin the fourth inning before Thompson blasted a two-run homer in the following at bat.
Thompson's dinger put Heath ahead 8-2 after four innings and gave himself plenty of run support with just three innings remaining in the game.
Despite putting a runner on base in each of the final three innings, the senior righty pitched six scoreless frames after the two-run first and ended the night with 12 strikeouts.
Thompson's outing ended with a complete game victory after surrendering two runs on six hits and two walks.
Heath would add its final run of the night during the bottom of the sixth inning when Boswell, who finished the game 2-for-3 at the plate, drew a leadoff walk from Wakeland junior pitcher Clay Foster.
Bledsoe proceeded to rope an RBI double to score Boswell and put the Hawks ahead, 9-2.
Needing seven runs in the seventh inning, the Wolverines were only able to get one man on base after a one-out single from designated hitter Ryan Perry.
Senior pinch hitter Nick Charlton and Nixon were both retired in the following two at bats though, ending the game and Wakeland's season.
"It just wasn't there tonight," Rose said.
The Wolverines end the year with a 30-13 mark and one win shy of a trip to state.
Meanwhile, Heath will now travel to Round Rock for Thursday's state semifinals matchup. Specifics of that game were not known as of press time.

Drawfriend Stuff #235
Future edition! I wonder how long this series will last? Will we see a whole pile of spinoffs, or a revamp after it? I'm sure My Little Pony will continue for as long as Hasbro is alive, but it would be incredibly difficult to top Friendship is Magic.
Have some art!

Woohoo, go two on today's drawfriend

Is it wrong for me to see number 3 and hear "I don't know who the heck you're trying to fool, but get out of my town and away from my BonBon."
- November 4, 2011 at 5:19 PM
- Vermillion Twilight said...
Some of these are reposts, but are awesome themed together so still very win. Dashie gettign to meet Firefly is a personal fave, and Pinkie/Deadpool I see as a viable crossover. If they did Archie meets The Punisher, they can do anything.

Awwww dat Dislestia is sooo cute! <3
And is it just me or is the quality of drawfriends all over the map these days? - November 4, 2011 at 5:22 PM
- BeatleBrony said...
LOL at #3! I might need to start a Lyra folder just for that pic!
- November 4, 2011 at 5:23 PM
- The Great and Powerful Scootaloo said...
Thanks. It was a fun one to draw, and my daughter absolutely loved it. - November 4, 2011 at 5:26 PM

@anoadragon453 New, old banner actually.
@The Great and Powerful Scootaloo She is the best pony after all! - November 4, 2011 at 5:29 PM
- D. Shadows said...
3. Winner of this draw friend and possibly Phoe's new desktop background.
4. Who doesn't think Fluttershy is cute? Raise your hands so we know who to hit with a ballistic missile.
6. Almost as big as my candy vault haul.
15. THat is adorable.
18.Dead Pool and Pony.
21. Oh Goddess, they're underpants gnomes now. Also Apple Bloom has yet tobe described as either a chicken or a dictionary.
27. Tacoshy from Taco Hell. Would you really eat something that adorable? - November 4, 2011 at 5:30 PM
- anoadragon453 said...
Hey guys theres a post before this one that was posted at the same time!
- November 4, 2011 at 5:31 PM

#7 The title of the book should've totally been "HM03". I am dissapoint.
- November 4, 2011 at 5:31 PM
- Vanishing said...
A bunch of great drawfriend's lately, and this one is no exception.
#21: Obsessaloo is always hilarious. - November 4, 2011 at 5:34 PM
- Derpy hooves said...
@Na'ash hahahahahah oh my god that made my day.
Also, dat first picture... just look at it. - November 4, 2011 at 5:34 PM
- Celestia said...
#1 Nice drawing, I like the light effects
#2 Oh Lyra.
#4 D'aww.
#5 Interesting style, its pretty good.
#6 Luna's pretty good at Trick or treating.
#7 Better read faster Twilight, I wonder who got her into that?
#8 I wonder what Discord would have done with snow?
#9 Da'aww, I like it Fluttershy looks cute.
#10 Wonder what she's embarassed about?
#11 I love the style here, very nicely done.
#12 Parties are much more fun now that Luna's back, less stuck up ponies hogging all my time.
#13 I love the clouds on this, its fairly cute too.
#15 *ahem* Woona!
#17 Scoot's happy about something there.
#18 Equestria is doomed...or saved, perhaps both.
#19 Thats an interesting spin opn things.
#20 Avatar mode Luna.
#23 Poor Luna, I like thw way the drawings been done.
#24 Its a good thing I have a few spare cuteness meters becuase Fluttershy breaks them often.
#27 From the look on her face Fluttershy understands whats going on as much as I do.
#28 Oh my, you ponies really will ship anyone.
#29 This was in yesterdays, still good though.
#30 I love how well the background fits this.
Another great drawfriend today. - November 4, 2011 at 5:39 PM
- The Great and Powerful Scootaloo said...
I know, that's why I poke fun at so much in my comics. - November 4, 2011 at 5:39 PM
- PonyPonyPonyBrony said...
#2-lol, anti-clop: also embarrassing.
#3- Aw, be sweet to your counterpart, dear, love and tolerance, remember.
#4-It is the 'dorable. Very cute =D
#19- I dunno, what can you do to someone who can plunge the world into eternal night?
#21- ??? Profit!
And of course, all the Luna pics are well done, too!
Hooray for wonderful artists! - November 4, 2011 at 5:40 PM
- Pascoite said...
#26, is that grown Scootaloo w/ ghost Dash? That's a little depressing.
- November 4, 2011 at 5:43 PM
- getoman10 said...
#1: Epicly drawn
#2: Gotta love the topsy turvy
#25: I try hard, I no get it
The rest are awesome except the Fluttershy ones.
(Raises Hand) Hit me with your best shot.
*While in heaven*
I WAS JUST KIDDING... - November 4, 2011 at 5:46 PM
- Tundra said...
#1, That's a cool depiction of "future" events open for interpretation.
#2, "This isn't what it looks like!"
#3, No, Lyra stop! It's not her fault. Let her go!
#4, Whew...a drawing that can calm anyone down.
#5, Wha...?
#6, I think she has enough candy.
#7, Of course Twilight would try to read WHILE surfing. ha ha
#8, To anyone who's been in a snowy area, who hasn't done what Pinkie's doing here at least once?
#9, Fluttershy makes any outfit look cute.
#10, Bashful Luna. Such a fad.
#11, Expectant Rarity is expectant.
#12, Long live the Princesses!
#13, This would make a cool dream sequence if the the show writers ever need one.
#14, Really Pinkie? Another stripper outfit?
#15, Are the alicorn fillies staring at the Everfree Forest or at the audience?
#16, Hello.
#17, The Great and Powerful Scootaloo!
#18, Pinkie and Deadpool. Go figure.
#19, Not sure what this is referencing but is impressive.
#20, Magical stare.
#21, Not sure what those two were conversing about but I see a "Step 4: Profit" reference on the back wall.
#22, This was a great Gala outfit. Seven colors of awesome.
#23, Three mare moon.
#24, D'awwww
#25, Woah!
#26, What's going on here? Why is Rainbow Dash crying?
#27, Don't eat Fluttershy.
#28, No, no, no, no, no. Next!
#29 & #30, Luna won't you cry for me... - November 4, 2011 at 5:47 PM
- LycoFeron said...
Am I correct in the assumption that #26 is from the fic "It's a dangerous business going out your door"?
- November 4, 2011 at 5:47 PM
- Masquerade said...
Which witch Luna is best witch Luna?
Trick question: It's all of them.
Death to Heart- I MEAN... I like Lyra better.
Let me try to understand this. Rainbow Dash was Firefly, Pinkie Pie was Surprise, and Fluttershy was posey. Do Rarity, Twilight, and AJ have doubles too? - November 4, 2011 at 5:48 PM
- D. Shadows said...
@The great and powerufl Scootaloo.
Yep... UNDERPANTS GNOMES. I can see some others know about it too. If that comic was made without knowing about underpants gnomes... then I'm considerably confuzzled as it is too much of a coincidental reference to be accidental. - November 4, 2011 at 5:50 PM
- Stalking_Z0mbie said...
3 moon luna?? SOMEONE MAKE THAT A T-SHIRT NOW!!!!!
- November 4, 2011 at 5:54 PM
- The Great and Powerful Scootaloo said...
@D. Shadows
Oh... The ???? Profit. Never heard of it referred to as underpants gnomes before...
Yes, it is a take off of that. - November 4, 2011 at 5:57 PM
- Senjan said...
#21 Makes me wonder how old the mane6 actually are.
#23 Is the middle one missing a horn? - November 4, 2011 at 6:01 PM
- jodyjm13 said...
Is anyone else having problems with their comments just vanishing a couple of times a week?
#1: A beautifully evocative drawing; great use of light and shadow to really give this drawing a concrete sense of place. Once again, the first drawing winds up my favorite for the night.
#5: That's a really unusual look for Zecora, but I still like this drawing a lot.
#7: Great gag drawing; I love Twilight's expression. Also, great title for the pic.
#12: A nice portrait of the royal sisters, happy to be together at some celebration.
#13: I don't know how I feel about turning Twilight into an alicorn, but regardless this is a charming drawing of a training flight. I love how Celestia is drawn in flight, as well as the wake she left in the cloud.
#15: Oh dear, that may be the cutest drawing I've yet seen of the royal sisters as fillies; their wide-eyed curiosity is just fantastic!
#17: The Great and Powerful Scootaloo? The Great and Powerful Scootaloo. (Hey look, I avoided making a chicken or a dodo joke!)
#18: Now that's a crossover comic I'd buy. And I don't even read Deadpool.
#21: I love the poster on the wall behind Sweetie Belle; that sums up the Cutie Mark Crusaders so well...
#27: The world's cutest taco!
#30: I have a feeling I've seen this one before, but it's a very good drawing; the limited palette really highlights the nighttime feel, and Luna looks positively serene and confident, completely in her element. - November 4, 2011 at 6:04 PM
- CTVulpin said...
#2: lol
#7: Finish the book BEFORE getting on the board Twilight...
#27: Why is Fluttershy a taco and why does that make her sad? - November 4, 2011 at 6:11 PM
- Flavin Bagel said...
#26 - It seems I'm the only one here who's actually read that fic...
Others: ???
Me: Oh, you didn't notice? It's a heartwrenching scene from-- Yaknow what, just type "Dangerous Business" into the search bar. It's long and old, but good. - November 4, 2011 at 6:13 PM
- Shadow Heart said...
@ Celestia
Teech is getting fixed for a tux and I was wondering if you wanted #28 embroided on the napkins at the wedding.
Really, it's about time you two got together. You should've seen his shrine to you. Too bad Teech torched when he said you and him were getting married. You would've laughed. He even collected the box the elements were in, because it smelled like you. LOL - November 4, 2011 at 6:14 PM
- jodyjm13 said...
*reads artist's description of #26 on dA* Eeyup, you are correct.
This image explains it all when it comes to who inspired which MLP:FiM pony. (Is there any way we could host a copy of this image on the site, and work it into the faq or wiki or something?) - November 4, 2011 at 6:18 PM
- Woof Hooves said...
im suprised theres not much mention of rarity...WOW
now thats a DF - November 4, 2011 at 6:23 PM
- Ikusa GT said...
@LycoFeronYou are indeed correct, If you haven't already folks. READ THAT FIC.

Bellhop Shy is adorable. I have no idea as to why though.
- November 4, 2011 at 6:31 PM

@Brittany and jodyjm13
Thanks. I'll have to save that for later, because I'm still raging over 'a MLP'. - November 4, 2011 at 6:33 PM
- Hope Quill said...
#1 There's no enough words in the whole word to describe how awesome is this.
- November 4, 2011 at 6:36 PM
- Travis Smith said...
What's funny is I was just watching the sout park parody of the 99%, then came on this and saw 19.
I still like 29 even though it's a repost. - November 4, 2011 at 6:40 PM
- Mac3030 said...
Fluttershy looks sad that she's a taco, I think she'd rather be a tree of some sort

Bwa ha ha, #3 is great!
You know what, I'm calling it, the toys are some kind of crazy bizzaro universe. Somebody write a fan fic where the Mane 6 dimension hop and end up in the toy continuity. - November 4, 2011 at 6:55 PM
- Pyre-Vulpimorph said...
@Hope Quill
That #1...
Seeing #1 made me think of the Legend of Zelda, and I immediately had the "Temple of time" them playing in my head. Seriously. It was powerfully emotional.
For you Zelda fans out there, look at #1 again, and have this playing in the background:

And Faust's works have usually ended in a MOVIE
So go crazy everypony after this realization - November 4, 2011 at 7:07 PM

Wow. #1 is powerful. For some reason stories and images depicting the future like this have a strong effect on me.
- November 4, 2011 at 7:22 PM
- SomeGuy said...
#26 An epicly emotional scene from an epic fic brought to life. This should be added to the Dangerous Business page.

They keep the design mold Lauren gave them. Big eyes are cute. Big eyes make kids squee and adults melt. Walt Disney knew it, Osamu Tezuka knew it.

#3 - Fuck them blindbag ponies. SLIT HER THROAT & PULL HER TONGUE OUT, LYRA!
#8 - Dawwwwww- what is that in her mouth. *squints* oh...its her tongue. sorry, it looked brown, i wasn- ...dawwwwwwwwwwwww
#10 - Hey everypony, remember when Luna didn't have a neck like Brian Urlacher?
#11 - omfg you're SOOO CUTE!!! I'm gonna call you Sunny Muffins!!
#12 - Don't cry for us, Equestria. ALL HAIL THE AUTOCRATS AND THEIR POWER TO KILL US ALL WITH A MERE THOUGHT http://youtu.be/IQBhxOFjCn0 alternatively, you can go with the American Dad "Citizens, the name of this country is now Bananarama and the National Anthem is Venus!" gag, really, I could milk this drawing for dark humor all day.
#14 - Whoa, kinky. Especially with the...ahem, LEATHER. Srsly, it would be more logical for Rarity to go off the deep end and become a mass murderer that collects pony parts. Because of leather. That faboulous, STYLISH material. She could make A LOT of f'n money selling that....mystery fabric lol! And she needs money for the boutique and Sweetie Bell. Nobody eats meat cupcakes IRL. But we sho' will kill the fuck outta something, slice the skin off its body, and turn that bitch into a stylish-ass coat!
#16 - She has underwear you pervs
#18 - me gusta
#19 - Remember, Applejack's fantasy during Ticket Master establishes no universal health care as canon in Equestria.
#24 - *melts into squirming pile of goo*
#25 - If it wasn't for teh tears, I'd swear Dash wuz saying "You will go to the Dagobah system."
#28 - Nope, Discord is Celestia's sole living fillyhood friend and a ex Element O' Laughter bearer. He wanted to take their relationship to "the next level" and Q doesn't take rejection so well. I've read Ms. Faust's secret 40 page FIM bible, MY THOUGHTS BEAR THE STAMP OF DIVINE CANON
#29 - Yo, how ppl keep doing epic drawings for these wack-ass fanfics but Eversleep can't get a fucking MS paint sketch of Dusk and Dawn? SMFH - November 4, 2011 at 8:09 PM

#26 the moment rainbow dash revisits an old mentor in her dreams, a very emotional moment if i remember correctly. its from the fic "dangerous business going out your door" a must read if you haven't already, i rate it up there with fallout equestria.
- November 4, 2011 at 9:09 PM
- ChaosDX1 said...
3) I kinda feel sorry for Heartstrings there. Just a little.
15) Why are filly alicorns so CUTE!? - November 4, 2011 at 9:16 PM
- Octavia said...
Oh, Friendship is Magic will end eventually of course. All shows run their course. All you can hope is it gets a good run and ends on a good note. :)
Also pony arts. <3
#2 Haha. Lyra is drawing Rule 34 of herself. Bonbon will forget all about it when she sees how many bits Lyra has been racking in from it.
#3 At least someone is making sense on the whole Heartstrings fiasco. As far as I'm concerned, she's still Lyra. Heartstrings can be some other character, but I don't consider them the same. Also not a big fan of it being her last name.
#5 Awesome colors on Zecora. Thought she had my cutie mark on her cheek at first. lol
#6 Dat hat. So big. She must have gotten it from Rarity. Zing! Haha.
#7 Twilight. It would have probably been a much better idea to read the book BEFORE taking to the waves...
#9 Most adorable bellhop ever. <3 I was going to make a bag joke, but it would have only sounded dirty.
#14 Whoa, dat outfit. Whats the special occasion, Pinkie? And why are you giving me that look... ?
#16 Oh, cool, more ponies gone human pics. I kinda like some of these humanized ponies. :)
#17 The greatest and most powerful chicken in all of Equestria, no doubt.
#18 Pinkiepool!I don't even know much about Deadpool honestly. All I know is it's a simply awesome-looking cross. :D
#19 A resistance poster against the Princesses? Gasp!
#21 So? Scootaloo likes them older. Oh snap! lol Sorry. Too obvious.
#27 Fluttershy dressed up as a taco, oh goodness! I dunno why, but I absolutely love this. <3 "my other idea was Pinkie Pie worshiping a milkshake." Yes! I want to see this too! lol
#28 And more Celestia and Discord shipping. :P - November 4, 2011 at 9:50 PM
- Baked Bad said...
9. Fluttershy makes a cute little bellhop. Very on model.
11. Simply fabulous darling.
12. What a wonderful reception.
15. Dawww. Filly Princesses.

#29 -- The Parting of Princesses, should be attributed to ~jakneurotic on DeviantArt, not Lionel23. Lionel23 commissioned this artwork for a work of fanfiction. Unfortunately, this artwork does not appear at the moment in the gallery of ~jakneurotic, so I am unable to crossreference Lionel23's claim.

A reminder to all builders - If you are building for re-sale, filing an Application for Builder's Exclusion can save you money. The California Revenue and Taxation Code requires new construction be assessed and a supplemental assessment be levied when the construction is complete or available for use. However, new construction may be excluded from a supplemental assessment under certain circumstance if you are a builder. The property must be intended for sale and the builder must file the application no later than 30 days after the commencement of new construction. The exclusion applies to supplemental assessments for new construction. It does not affect the reassessment of the property for the regular roll each January 1, or any other supplemental assessments. For more information, or to obtain an application, please contact the Placer County Assessor's Office at (530) 889-4300 or write to Assessor Department, 2980 Richardson Drive, Auburn, CA 95603.

I realized that the word Tsuru is unpronounceable over the radio due to issues with the 'tsu' sound in the Japanese language. (I'm trying to convince my wife to let me get a CB, emphasis on trying)

50 Reasons We Love Empire Strikes Back
Insults in the Star Wars universe don't make much sense in our system, but as takedowns go, Leia's is one of the most quotable: "Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder!"
To which, naturally, Han replies: "Who's scruffy-looking?" Guess he doesn't think Nerf herders are all that bad.
