I think I've only ever read one shipping story, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be allowed on this site. It is pretty good though. Maybe I'll check some of these out, but for now I gotta get through Fallout: Equestria. - July 31, 2011 at 6:05 PM
Oh god what.
There are quite a few bronies who would fuck a real pony. - July 31, 2011 at 6:07 PM

Been a LONG ASS TIME since the last one.
I'm not even gonna bother downloading it this time. Way too much good content lately. - July 31, 2011 at 6:12 PM
When are the bestiality reports going to start coming in?

Wow these comments are pretty slow moving. Where's the obligatory shit storm EqD? I am disappoint.
- July 31, 2011 at 6:15 PM
phew! i thought they ahd stopped doing this.
no sleep tonight it seems. - July 31, 2011 at 6:16 PM
Is there any rating system in place for these fics? Or any recommendations? I don't have the time to sift through and find the worth-while ones, as it seems anyone can submit their fics to the collection.
- July 31, 2011 at 6:21 PM
I'm sort of surprised that there were THIS many stories written in the second person that have to so with shipping. It just seems to be a really awkward way to write anything, since you are basically dictating to the reader what he/she is doing and why. I don't even KNOW the reader in most cases, so how am I going to try to convince them that they are willing or able to do what I want to write them as doing?
But that's just me. ... you know, if you're into this sort of thing, more power to you. - July 31, 2011 at 6:25 PM
- NinesTempest said...
I always imagined that "you" was someone's name.
It makes reading it a LOT easier, just thinking it's an OC.
And, honestly, the ONLY reason to read these (besides the obvious) is to get used to writing make-out scenes or emotional distress. Otherwise, they're... pretty bland. Though the unique ways unicorns can make out is pretty comical sometimes. - July 31, 2011 at 6:31 PM
Ugh. No matter what fandom I join I swear to fuck it follows me. - July 31, 2011 at 6:32 PM

Are these the second POV shipping stories?
I don't mean to offend anyone, but they kind of creep me out a little. - July 31, 2011 at 6:44 PM

It's been almost two months since the last volume while the first four were less than a month between releases, I've been kind of getting worried about the fate of these collections.

Most of the writers have been working on other things, as has the Brony responsible for putting the collections together. If you're looking for more regular updates, I'd suggest either visiting the Sensual Fiction General thread on Ponychan, or the IRC channel that we frequent.
The server is irc.caffie.net
The channel is #equestria - July 31, 2011 at 7:06 PM
Second person? I know Cereal has experience with that kind of garbage. This is disgusting
- July 31, 2011 at 7:12 PM
Hello all. I'm seriously trying to figure out where all this hate is coming from. I'm going to reply to each and everyone of you and see if I can pick this apart...
@ Anonymous 1
Good for you.

@ Vyuun
You must be new here. There are 5 volumes of the Collection, which means over 500 pages and we've been doing this for quite a while.
@ Basharoonskis
I hope you enjoy the collection. I for one couldn't go any further in Fallout Equestria... Too depressing. V.V

The Collection has its own rating in-depth rating system created by Crowley.
@ Anonymous 5
You seem like the kind of person who has played a dating sim at one point or another. What's so wrong with second person? You sound like a writer yourself. A second person story is simply a way to put the reader in another role and increase immersion. Some people like that.
@ NinesTempest
In my stories, I tend to give the main character some background, while remaining a usable role. As for bland, I'm wondering what stories you've been reading. I'm not going to name any names, but I know of some people who have read some second person stories and have been emotionally moved or even cried a bit. But I can't help but feel your giving us a backhanded compliment.
>the ONLY reason to read these (besides the obvious)
>Otherwise, they're... pretty bland.
Slightly confused. o.0
@ Benschachar
Creepy? How so?
@ DSNesmith
Once again, what's wrong with second person? We're getting odd reactions here, but no explanations.
@ Anonymous 6
Sorry about that. We planned on releasing a 200 page collection, but then things sort of slowed down and things just happened. You should check out the ponychan thread for updates and what not.
@ Anonymous 7
Dear Princess Celestia,
My friends and I all learned an important lesson this week: Never judge a book by its cover. Someone may look unusual, or funny, or scary. But you have to look past that and learn who they are inside. Real friends don't care what your "cover" is; It's the "contents" of a pony that count. And a good friend, like a good book, is something that will last forever.
I like constructive critcisim. This is just bashing.
Now, for my two cents:
I've been writing for eight years now. I first started out with science fiction, moved onto fantasy, and sort of stayed there for a while. I wrote a 300 page novel that I have yet to have published and a 500 page novel that I believe is not even half way done. I tell you this so you know where I'm coming from. I stopped writing for one year. I couldn't find the incentive anymore. I was hardly getting any feedback and couldn't take it anymore. Then one day, after discovering the show and the SFG, I took up pen again and wrote. And you know what? I had fun. I enjoyed myself. And everyone there enjoyed themselves to. They had fun. If this kind of stuff isn't your cup of tea, then that's fine. I don't rightly care. Your business is your business. But honestly, if you're bashing this just for the sake of bashing, then please stop. There are people out there that thoroughly enjoy this. And that's business. Who gives you the write to label something? That's how prejudice starts. I thought this show was supposed to be about love, understanding, and friendship. Way to show those characteristics, guys. Feel free to rip this argument apart. - July 31, 2011 at 7:27 PM
@The Gentleman Creeper
Lol at you response to anon #7. So basically we shouldn't judge people who are into bestiality? That raping animals is only the "cover" of someones personality?
Your fucking sick dude - July 31, 2011 at 7:35 PM
Oh I realize that, I've been watching/lurking the sensual threads since they began. - July 31, 2011 at 7:44 PM
@ Anon 7:35
Who told you they were into beastiality? The ponies are ANTHROPOMORPHIC. Google that for a second. Look at these ponies more in-depth. Soft fur, PERFECT curves, they TALK, and they actually seem to share more qualities with people than they do with animals. People interested in MLP sex are, in no-way, people interested in bestiality. And they are not rapists either. Who says Rainbow Dash can't consent to sex? If its mutual consent, its not rape.
@The Gentleman Creeper Thank you for responding to me, I was the Anon looking for the rating system. Would you mind linking me to a place where I can find this rating system, an archive perhaps? And thank you for being able to politely tolerate all this unnecessary and uncivil bashing. - July 31, 2011 at 7:44 PM
The SFG is about what it is. Sensual Fiction. In this case it is with ponies.
The show itself is about friendship mostly. Many writers, not just these writers, like to expand upon that and bring in romance.
You see, the fact here is that these are written because they can express something sensual. Not necessarily because they are with ponies. It's because they enjoy the show and can relate to the characters. If the show at hand were the same characters but they were human it would be the same case for the authors at SFG.
These are endearing stories about a simple act of affection and love. I can assure most to all of these authors would not want to have anything to do with bestiality. It's the same as a shipping story. Or any other romance story about this show. If you can't look past the fact that it is with cartoonized animals that isn't really anyone's problem but yours. I'm sorry for you. - July 31, 2011 at 7:45 PM
- Sandman said...
So just because of the style of writing you hate these stories? Is there anything wrong with them besides the fact that the writers chose to use second-person perspective, a perfectly legitimate form?
@Anon 6:07PM & @Anon 6:15PM
Our very first furry-ish comments, I guess we're official on the Internet now.
@Anon 6:59PM
Fear not for the future of The Collection.
The increased wait for this volume was a combination of RL issues, other ventures, and most of the recent stories being multi-chapter. I try and keep the published volumes to include only completed works. I've already made some headway on Volume 6 and will soon have some free time to really knock out most if not all of it. We will continue and we will thrive!
I might even dare to say that there may be enough material so far to supply not only Volume 6, but a 7th as well. - July 31, 2011 at 7:47 PM
In one of these stories, a unicorn receives a horn blowjob from Spitfire. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
- July 31, 2011 at 8:05 PM
- The Gentleman Creeper said...
Hmm. Odd. I commented, but it disappeared. Any who! Anon 7:44, if you want the rating system, go to the Sensual Fiction Blog. Sandman and I run it and we're basically trying to archive the SFG fics. If you scroll down and hit More, it should show up. It's the second post I ever did.
- July 31, 2011 at 8:05 PM
As one of the writers of the stories, I can safely that I would never consider performing bestiality in real life.
Also, what Creeper (and by extension the anon in the comment section of the first collection) is right. These people put a lot of their time and effort into making these fics, and the least you all could do is respond better than just dropping backhanded "2nd-person sux" comments. It accomplishes nothing; the author doesn't learn how to improve him/herself*, and the people who like the perspective will continue liking it.
*Don't say "they learn not to use 2nd-person", I mean actual criticisms about the quality of the writing itself, regardless of perspective. - July 31, 2011 at 8:09 PM
@ The Gentleman Creeper
Ah, sorry, I suppose I should have been clearer. I was looking for a rating system like the one on Equestria daily, one that denotes quality, or at least one that denotes popularity. Also, do you have anything in this format (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/01/story-archive.html)? Sorry for being a hassle, but I can't bear to scroll through large PDFs trying to find out which stories are interesting when they are all written in the same place. A list is all I ask. One more thing.
Please, don't fall victim to the denouncement from these judgemental jerks. Most hatred is bred by ignorance. I would be willing to bet quite a sum that most of these 'haters' have no idea about what they are bashing. - July 31, 2011 at 8:14 PM

Where is the humanised story? I wasn't aware of any in this volume? - July 31, 2011 at 8:19 PM
Somebody made a sortable list over on the Ponychan threads, but I can't remember where exactly they were. I'm sure one of the other guys can help you out there. Also, this is just me speaking, but I think that just being on the collection should denote a story's quality. ;) - July 31, 2011 at 8:20 PM
As an author in this group, I would very much like to say
Humanized what?
Also, look people, second person is second person. If you wanna go whine about it, at least stop clogging up the comments with that crap so we the authors can actually see constructive criticism, not, as described, "HURR DURR SECOND PERSON BAD" - July 31, 2011 at 8:21 PM

I like you. Level and clear headed. Hit us up at the Sensual Fiction Blog's Chatterbox. It's on the right hand side where it says "The Chatterbox!" Just click on my name and follow the link.
As for THAT rating system, I'm sorry but the SFG doesn't have something like that, but now that you mention it, I may have to ask the others and see if they want something like that. Normally, we just read each others work and if we like it, we like it, and if we don't, we make suggestions. If you do want good fics, stop on by The Chatterbox and we could recommend a few. - July 31, 2011 at 8:22 PM
@TimeBomb0 The Anon you were responding to here, just realized I could do this :D I have been rummaging through the internet for the past 20 minutes, and I can't find a thing. And, while I do realize every story is probably worth reading, there are SURELY some that are more renowned than others. I for one, am interested in that strange 'horn blowjob' story....lol.

@Anon 8:15PM
Humanized? Requesting that you please clarify where the humanization is. - July 31, 2011 at 8:23 PM
@Luka10z20Hmm, I know it's there. Try checking some of more recent SFG threads on Ponychan. Also, you're gonna have to be more specific on the "horn blowjob" story, because I can think of at least three fics that include a scene like that.

Wait a minute! Now I remember. mogu's work had humanized characters, but we haven't seen him in a while... Most of this stuff has been ponified. Now, while I like mogu's work, I know what you mean, I'm not a fan of humanized stories, but I still sort of like mogu's work. Cheater is one of my favorites. - July 31, 2011 at 8:28 PM

I just read your fic and i must say, well done. Most of the anon posts are just bashing the prospective and i doubt any of them have read the fics. Anyway, dont let some trolls stop you from writing. - July 31, 2011 at 9:10 PM
This comment section gave me worse cancer than the 2nd person perspective.

I only have one thing to say to these writers!
...why u no like Applejack? She hasn't had a solo fic since the first volume!
All this lack of love for her in fan works is making me sad. - August 1, 2011 at 1:29 AM
With all the hate the SFG writers are receiving I believe it is only fair to tell them that they are doing a wonderful job. I don't mind the second person perspective, though I do find it difficult to imagine myself in a pony's shoes.
That last fic, the love triangle one, was absolutely amazing. I loved every bit of it. I hope you do a follow up story on it, The Gentleman Creeper. - August 1, 2011 at 2:29 AM
- The Gentleman Creeper said...
@ WhiteHawke
Applejack is my next planned fic. And since a lot of people were complaining that a lot of these fics are from a male perspective, I decided to do it from a female point of view.
@ Anonymous 2:29
Hmm... No idea how I would do a follow up fic. I'll get back to you on that. But I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully, I'll have some of my other work featured in the next collection. Speaking of which, I'll get a hold of Sandman and see what we can do about getting Volume 6 out ASAP.
Ciao. - August 1, 2011 at 6:11 AM
Thanks, glad to hear you liked it. It was actually my first attempt at a fanfic in general, let alone a sensual fic starring an MLP character. I've been very pleasantly surprised at the positive reception it's gotten on other places I've posted it.
Don't worry about me getting discouraged, either. I've already begun work on a new fic, and while I won't say who it stars, I will divulge that it's based on a scene in an earlier episode where I felt particularly sympathetic towards that character. - August 1, 2011 at 7:05 AM
@The Gentleman Creeper
I'd suggest having the main pony of the story wanting to return to Clydesdale after his father's boat was recovered, maybe spice it up by saying that he can only take one of the three with him. Of course, this should take place when they are all older.
Another way to do it might involve the three getting tired of sharing him all the time. They begin to seek out someone they can have to themselves, and so the main pony has to choose someone, and fast.
Simply suggestions that came to mind, and I do hope you get some of your other work featured in the next collection, you're a fantastic writer! - August 1, 2011 at 5:55 PM

Since there have been recent accusations against Dr Shariati, I would like to share with you all an article I read. It is a summary of the writings and statements of the leader of the revolution -- Seyyed Ali Khamenei -- regarding Dr Shariati. You can find the article here: http://www.seapurse.....x=109&Bot1.y=3
Since it's in Farsi and it's rather long, I will give you a very brief summary.
First it shows Emam Khomeini's opinion of Dr Shariati. Emam once commented: "How can someone write a book as beautiful and as gripping as 'Niayesh' but at the same time criticize 'Mafatih al-Janan' (when it is clear that such criticisms only help the enemy)?"
He also commented: "When reading Shariati's works, his love of Ali (A.S.) hits you like a wave!"
So we have established that Emam did NOT have all that negative of a view toward Dr Shariati (as some wish to assert). He was familiar with his works and admired them.
Now we move to the leader's opinions. The leader acknowledges the two lines of criticisms used against Shariati: (1) His contact with Savak officials, and (2) Shahid Motahari's negative opinion of him in his letter to Emam.
He says that #1 was not done out of collaboration but out of efforts to undermine the Pahlavi regime.
He says that #2 was due to an exaggeration on the part of Shahid Motahari (citing that Shahid Beheshti had made similar accusations against Motahari himsef).
Ultimately, none of these people are masoom. They will have disputes and infighting. But all of them were loyal to Islam and the Islamic revolution. So I advise all of you brothers on here to refrain from using pejorative terms like "Marxist," or "socialist," or "crypto-Marxist" to describe Dr Shariati (especially considering that the leader has expressed disagreement with these accusations). There is no fitna worse than the fitna of historical figures that we try to revive (and exaggerate) today.

July 17, 2012 — Last week I received several phone calls and emails from readers regarding stories and a photograph that appeared in recent issues of the newspaper.
I look forward to hearing those comments — both positive and negative — although it's much more productive to communicate with those folks interested in having a real dialogue compared with those who just want to vent some hot steam in my direction.
I appreciate hearing what readers think because I believe their perspective helps me do a better job as an editor and pushes me to do a better job serving our community.
Life truly is a learning experience, and sometimes it seems I learn something new with every issue of the paper.
Several readers disagreed with my decision to publish a photograph of Jon Nakanishi and Tony Mallery on the front page so soon after Nakanishi's untimely death. One reader even thought the Mallery campaign, the source of the photograph, was almost trying to create an endorsement of sorts. I apologize to anyone who might have been offended by my decision.
Last week's "My Turn" about the Lassen Municipal Utility District also apparently raised a few eyebrows and drew a couple of different responses. First, I misreported the date Frank Cady was offered the general manager's job. The correct date is May 2005.
One reader, a longtime Lassen County resident whose opinion I respect, noted in late 2007 three LMUD board members resigned. Three new LMUD board members were appointed by the Lassen County Board of Supervisors, and the first thing they did was "remove" Cady as general manager.
Another new board member was subsequently elected from Ward 3, leaving Fred Nagel as the only director who served when Cady was general manager.
This reader thought the current LMUD board and management team are working well, lowering rates and increasing the reliability of service.
"I just don't want them to be blamed for the actions of others in the past," he wrote. "I realize your comments were directed at the legal aspects, i.e. the board is (was) responsible for the actions of the manager and their legal argument will probably fail and LMUD may be exposed to significant liability as a result. However, I don't think the current board is responsible and shouldn't shoulder the blame."
Fair enough. Four of the five current LMUD board members weren't serving on the board when the decision to purchase the Hayden Hill transmission line was made or not made — whatever the case may be.
But then another reader, another longtime resident whose opinion I also respect, responded, "Man, Sam, why are you being so hard on poor overworked, mistreated, misunderstood and maligned Frank Cady … Here you have a faithful community servant who takes on the job of being the LMUD general manager for a meager amount of restitution, and when he makes a simple mistake, you want to castigate him. I know this is just 'your opinion,' and I respect that. However I have to state my opinion, and that is … you are right on target."
So, go figure. Thank you, readers, for all your comments. I hope you will continue to give us your feedback. You can call me at 257-5321 or send me an email at email@example.com.

College Hoops: Saint Joseph's outlasts Fordham 66-62
NEW YORK (AP) — Carl Jones tallied 19 points and hit key free throws down the stretch to help Saint Joseph's outlast Atlantic 10 Conference-foe Fordham 66-62 Wednesday night.
Halil Kanacevic added 12 points while Ronald Roberts and Chris Wilson chipped in 10 apiece. Kanacevic and Wilson grabbed seven boards each and Roberts had 10 for the Hawks (12-7, 3-3), who outrebounded their fourth opponent in their last five games.
There were eight ties and 21 lead changes before Fordham's Branden Frazier hit two free throws put the Rams (6-15, 2-4) up 62-61 with 47 seconds left to play. But Jones made five free throws in the final 33 seconds to seal the win.
Frazier, who led Fordham with 24 points, missed a free throw with 26 seconds left, committed a turnover with 7 seconds remaining and missed a 3-pointer with just 3 seconds showing. Ryan Canty had 14 rebounds for Fordham.

Bedard, 33, showed good early movement on his breaking pitches, and Porter said Bedard's veteran mindset paid dividends during the first stage of camp.
"I was really impressed. His cutter was really good, his changeup was good," Porter said. "He actually threw a couple sliders that were back-foot sliders that were swing-and-miss."
After going 7-14 with a 5.01 ERA with Pittsburgh last year and having not won more than seven games since 2007 with Baltimore, Bedard sees potential in 2013, but he's not getting overexcited.
"I feel good," Bedard said, "but it's early."

UTICA, N.Y. -- Just as another suspect did before him, a 31-year-old Utica man pleaded not guilty to the 2011 death of Anthony Garner.
Octavius Garrett has been charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of Garner. He entered his not guilty plea Tuesday morning.
Another man, Marshall Jackson, was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison when he was found guilty of charges related to the murder earlier this year. Surveillance video played during that trial showed Jackson and two other men chase and attack Garner before he was fatally shot.

Two high-profile senators disagreed Sunday on the president's deficit-reduction proposal, just weeks before Congress hits an end-of-the year deadline to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.
Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire discounted the plan presented by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner on Thursday, saying on CNN's "State of the Union" that the proposal was a "rerun" that resembled previous policies President Barack Obama has put forward, yet failed to see through in the Senate.
"It has to happen," she said, referring to the likelihood of Congress reaching a deal. "And I truly hope that it does happen. But I'm really disappointed by the president's initial proposal."
The president's plan calls for $1.6 trillion in increased revenue, some of it the result of higher tax rates for families making more than $250,000 a year. Obama also wants to close loopholes, limit deductions, raise the estate tax rate to 2009 levels and increase taxes on capital gains and dividend taxes.
In return, multiple sources told CNN, Obama is offering $400 billion in new cuts to Medicare and other entitlement programs. Specifics on cuts would be decided next year, the sources said.
But Ayotte and other Republicans say the entitlement cuts don't go far enough to make a meaningful dent in closing the nation's sizable deficit. They stress a need for more spending cuts but argue revenue should be increased strictly through tax code reform, including the closing of loopholes and limiting of deductions.
By placing more emphasis on the revenue side, the president is playing politics, Ayotte said.
"The tax rate issue is more of a political trophy than an economic solution," she told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley.
Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia argued the president's plan was just the first round of negotiations, describing last week's proposal as a "term sheet."
"In any negotiation I've been involved in, you put down the term sheet; the other side comes back and says 'No, I like this part. I don't like this part,'" he said.

Football playoff time has fans jazzed up especially now that the Packers are back in and have a chance to make the Super Bowl. Green Bay is playing as well as anyone right now...even Mason Crosby seems to have righted himself. You never know what's going to happen in a one & out scenario but you have to like the Packers chances this weekend. My picks are the Bengals, Cowboys, Patriots and Packers.
Join us for Sportstalk on Monday at RJs Bullshooters Saloon on Monday night at 6:05. We'll talk about the game and we have a special prize to giveaway that any Packer fan will love.
The Bucks beat the Bulls last night and now head west. Bogut was huge and Redd scored 24.
Is it just me or are there more injuries in high school sports these days? It seems that alot of the area teams are struggling with injuries more than usual.
Songs of the Day
Dog Eat Dog-Ted Nugent (1976) Nugent had to be the only 70's rock n roller that didnt drink or take drugs. All he did was crank out uptempo guitar rock and wild on-stage antics for the teens and twenty-something males of the day. This is from his LP "Free For All".
Doctor Wu-Steely Dan (1975) who knows what the lyrics mean...when Fagen & company were cooking there were none better. Check out the fabulous Phil Woods sax solo in this one.

The thin, highly adherent filters that block the blue light that suppresses melatonin are finding a ready, world-wide market. They are available from Photonic Developments LLC at http://www.LowBlueLights.com. They are very durable and are quick and easy to install and remove.
University Heights, OH (PRWEB) November 27, 2012
News stories are appearing almost daily that talk about how exposing the eyes to light from electronic devices is ruining sleep, especially of young people. Studies have shown that spending a couple of hours in the evening with an iPad can drop the melatonin level by more than 20%. Even a small drop has been demonstrated to make it harder to fall asleep. Even more serious is the delay in the setting of the circadian clock that is caused by exposure to light at night. This means the young person will have a hard time waking up in the morning in time for school.
This problem of sleepy students is so serious some school systems are switching to a later starting time. The blue light blocking products from http://www.LowBlueLights.com can help avoid this problem. By using iPad/iPhone filters or blue blocking eyeglasses or special light bulbs after 8 or 9 in the evening lets the body start making melatonin much earlier so it finishes by wakeup time. This lets the students arrive at school wide awake and ready to learn...
Scientists at the University of Surry in the UK and at Harvard have discovered that the lighting levels found in a typical home are sufficient to significantly delay the start of the flow of melatonin and reduce the amount produced. This results in an increase in the time to fall asleep and a reduction in the time spent in deep, restorative sleep. Other studies at the University of Toronto have shown that wearing glasses that block blue light restores the flow of melatonin as if the person were in darkness.
In addition to helping people sleep better (money back if they don't help) using light control to maximize melatonin production may have many other health benefits. These may include reduced risk of some types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It's time to tune your circadian clock and reap all the benefits.

I have never contributed to one, but love to read anthologies of short stories, or narratives, essays etc. But as a reader, maybe I can help if you be a bit more specific.
I am in the middle of editing an anthology on motherhood and loss, "Joy, Interrupted"--here are three lessons I have learned so far:
Put out a call for papers, not only through this site, but also through sites like http://call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/ or http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/. They are great ways to get contributors!
Once you get contributors, keep in contact with them. I found a great way to do this is through http://mailchimp.com where you can create lists and send out important information about deadlines or details about the editing process.
If you are publishing it yourself or want to help your publisher with offering pre-orders of the book, a great way to do this is through Kickstarter.
I am brand new to SW, and I found the links in your comment so helpful. Thank you so much! Have a great day.
In early 2011, I responded to a Call for Submission requesting first person, creative, literary essays about women making "peace with their troubled minds." It really sparked my interest, as my doctors had recently diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
Naturally, at first, I was hesitant. First, I didn't consider myself a "writer". I mean, I always kept a journal. I always enjoyed reading. And I used writing as a means of self-expression. But, I didn't think anyone really cared about what I had to say. Secondly, because I was endeavoring to write for an anthology, I figured there would be tons of "experienced" writers submitting stellar pieces. Why would the editor pick my piece? Finally, I hadn't told my family about my anxiety. In fact, they knew very, very little about my personal struggles, and I automatically assumed they wouldn't understand. (By the way, my assumption was RIGHT! LOL!)
The editor responded via email five (5) months after I submitted my entry. I nearly fainted in the frozen food aisle of the grocery store when I received the email. In fact, I replied just to make sure that the approval was meant for my inbox. She confirmed, and my excitement continued to spill over.
At present, the editor is busy editing, as the book is due for release sometime around the Spring of 2013. Meanwhile, I am still coming to grips with the entire experience, the process of feeling validated and gaining more confidence in my voice as an author.
Hi, Lisa,
I'm in the process of putting together my first anthology, but I'm learning as I go. It's a project where all of the proceeds will go to charity that I've been working to put together for about 2 years. Contributors have often been slow or inconsistent. People say they will contribute but don't. Or people contribute bits and pieces that clearly are not their best work.
It's all been a big challenge. From all this, I've learned to just move forward without waiting on other people to come through with what they say they will. At this point, I have about a half dozen contributors, and the rest will be my own work. I'm looking to have a total 100-120 pages.
Once it all does finally come together, I have an attorney in place to help me with the parts that would be a concern, like ensuring that each contributor affirms that the work they are contributing is owned by them and not anyone else, as well as making sure that all retain their copyrights. I'm hoping to publish this fall, but I'll be glad to share my experiences then.

is pitch limited by HFOV in spherical panos?
2007年8月19日 19:12In a 360x180 pano, if I zoom out to an HFOV of 220 degrees or thereabouts, I cannot change the pitch, even though there is more image above the top of the screen. This is strange becasue with a smaller HFOV, I can show the vertex and/or nadir (HDView seems to show a small hole at those points, but this may be my problem).
Is this expected behavior (not being able to change the pitch with a large HFOV) or is it something I'm doing wrong?
2007年8月19日 21:02
Hello. Yes it is limited. As the field of view increases we force the viewing direction to the horizon and gradually limit the ability to change the pitch. The reason we did this is related to one of your previous comments. The equirectangular projection is fairly unfamilar to users, letting the horizon change under this projection was even more confusing. The downside with our current implementation is that at certain field-of-views you cannot pitch to certain parts of the image. We probably haven't yet gotten the ideal set of limits and author controlled parameters, so any suggestions for future releases are welcome.
2007年8月21日 14:09Two ways to address this are:
1. switch from a rectangular projection to another projection (one of the ones that has the top row shorter than the equator) after a (user specified) HFOV is reached by zooming.
2. Add lines along the "latitude" and "longitude". The user would be used to seening a globe with these lines, and they may clue them into understanding where the vertex and nadir are. The lines may also give a good visual hint to the user that they are viewing a three dimensional sphere, and the curved horizon (assuming its on the equator) would be easier for the user to understand. It would be nice if the lines could be toggled on and off by the user.
3. use a circular image beyond a certain HFOV, and add lines of latitude and longitude as shown in the Azumithal projection on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection. This means that the whole image will never be seen, which may be ok for a spherical pano.
Note that a help button on the viewer would be good. One thing the help system should have is an example of the projections, using a map of the Earth as a reference. A globe of Earth is very common, people understand it. And people are comfortable with many of the two dimensional projections used to show maps of the Earth. So this will give the public a clue about how any projections HDView implements work.

The Delaware County Daily Times (delcotimes.com), Serving Delaware County, PA
Sports > High School
Thursday, June 28, 2012
By TOM McNICHOL
It had been a disappointing junior season for Sun Valley's Braden Shattuck, punctuated by an 83 at Turtle Creek Golf Club that sent him home early after Day One of the District One Tournament.
Shattuck had to look at himself in the mirror, challenge himself to see how badly he really wanted to become a better player.
By the end of his senior season, Shattuck had won the Ches-Mont League title, finished third at the District One and East Region tournaments and had Delco's highest finish at the PIAA Tournament. Put it all together and it made Shattuck the choice as the 2011-12 Daily Times Player of the Year.
Shattuck's accomplishment is flattered by his company on the All-Delco team, which includes Haverford School sophomore Cole Berman, the Inter-Ac League Tournament winner, Berman's teammate, junior Scott Jaster, Radnor junior Carey Bina, the Central League Tournament winner, and Bina's brother, Radnor senior Kavian Bina. Jaster is the only returning All-Delco selection. The All-Delco team is chosen by the Daily Times in consultation with county coaches.
"I had some work to do, but it wasn't just working hard, I had to start working on the right things," Shattuck said as he looked back on the low point of his scholastic career. "It wasn't the quantity of my work that was the problem, it was the quality."
Shattuck found a teacher in Spring-Ford Country Club head pro Rich Steinmetz whose advice made sense to him and Shattuck rebuilt his swing and his attitude.
The results became obvious last summer when he qualified for such big-time national junior events as the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships and the PGA National Junior Championship.
"I didn't play that well at those tournaments, but it wasn't because of my swing," Shattuck said. "It was just inexperience handling an atmosphere like that."
Sun Valley coach Rick Barry noticed that Shattuck had gained confidence from his experience playing in those big junior events.
"I'm still kind of new to this, but some of the other coaches told me he would benefit from getting into some of the bigger tournaments," Barry said. "And I think it really helped him, just being around a lot of other good players."
By the time the high school season started, Shattuck was ready to make up for lost time. He fired a 2-over 73 at Kennett Golf & Country Club to capture the Ches-Mont League individual title by three shots.
"Braden's always been a determined player, you could see that early on," Barry said. "It just didn't always carry over to the postseason. And it's tough in the postseason. One bad day at the league tournament and you're done or one bad at the region and you don't go to states."
He got his revenge on a Turtle Creek layout that had confounded him before with rounds of 72 and 74 for a 2-over 146 total that gave him a third-place finish at districts. A week later he was third again at the East Region Tournament, his 2-over 74 the best score among the District One contingent.
More importantly, it got him where he wanted to go, the PIAA Tournament at Heritage Hills Golf Resort. It was a somewhat unsatisfying finish at Heritage Hills as Shattuck had rounds of 78 and 76 over the par-71 layout, his 154 total leaving him two shots out of the top 10 and a state medal.
From Steinmetz, Shattuck took some swing alterations and an added emphasis on golf course management. Then Shattuck went to work on his own.
"I went from an overlap grip to an interlock grip," Shattuck said. "And my swing was kind of loopy. Rich got me more on plane with the target."
The rest was determination.
Many of Sun Valley's sports teams have struggled since the Vanguards moved to a Ches-Mont League that includes schools that simply have more athletes. But the higher level of competition proved to be a benefit for Shattuck.
"The Ches-Mont's a tough league for golf," Shattuck said. "It was very competitive. I was facing good players all the time."
During his final scholastic season Shattuck also made the decision to continue his golf and academic careers at the University of Delaware.
This spring Greg Matthias became the first Blue Hen to claim the Colonial Athletic Association individual title.
"I played with Greg in a U.S. Open qualifier last year," Shattuck said. "It was nice to see a Delaware guy win at CAAs."
Shattuck is still eligible for some junior events this summer and he has already earned himself a ticket to the Callaway Junior World Championship, which tees off the week of July 9 at Torrey Pines in the San Diego area.
And he's getting some on-the-job pro shop experience helping out head pro Mike Moses and his staff at Concord Country Club.
He'll be studying economics or finance at Delaware, but he's pretty certain his future is in the golf business in some form or another.
"I want to do something with golf, I've made that decision," Shattuck said. "Whether I can make it on the PGA Tour, we'll see about that. But there are a lot of other areas where golf can take you."

BRAVIA® S-Series LCD televisions use Sony's BRAVIA Engine™ full digital video processor for crisp and clear images. Several special picture enhancement technologies are integrated into the processor to create better gradations and details, enhance contrast, dynamically improve color, and reduce image flicker.
Building on the success of TruSurround technology, TruSurround XT audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience. Dialog Clarity - brings movie dialog into "focus" during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper. TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself. And WOW widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Intelligently adjusts the screen brightness to match the ambient light in a room, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience. In a dim room for example the screen automatically reduces brightness making it much more comfortable for viewing.
Designed for maximum versatility, Sony's BRAVIA S-Series Digital LCD TV line is equipped with a comprehensive range of input interfaces. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI technology supports enhanced or High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction. The PCD input (HD-15-pin) offers easy connection to your PC, allowing you to use your high resolution BRAVIA S-Series Digital TV as a computer monitor.
Sony's Freeze Function is a useful function that allows you to temporarily freeze the picture in a separate screen while the programming continues to display. This comes in handy when you want to copy a recipe, phone number, etc. that flashes too quickly across your screen. Simply touch the "Freeze" button on the remote control and copy the details down at your convenience.
