Building a custom live CD with Fedora's livecd-creator
Fedora 7 comes with new tools for creating custom live CDs and custom .iso files. We'll show you how to get started with Fedora's new command-line tool, livecd-creator.
The traditional technique for building a Live CD is to enter a series of commands that create directories to represent the file systems on the finished CD. Then you can manually install the files you need in the appropriate directories, manipulate them as necessary, and assemble the directories into an .iso file, and the .iso is burned onto a CD or DVD. This procedure is often error prone, and if you find you need to make some minor revisions three months down theroad, you must repeat the process.
One solution to the repetition is to write scripts that assemble the files and build the CD. Homegrown scripts, however, add additional complications. Fedora's new command-line tool, livecd-creator, offers an alternative approach. Live-cd-creator lets you assemble a Live CD using a few simple commands, and you can even use a kickstart .ks configuration file to specifies the contents of the finished CD. Fedora 7 also comes with a GUI-based tool, Revisor (Figure 1), for creating custom .isos and Live CDs, and other similar utilities – such as openSUSE's Kiwi – are available. This article focuses on how to build a custom LiveCD with livecd-creator.

—My wonderful father (via inkstain)
—My wonderful father (via inkstain)
'Christian or Muslim, We Are All Egyptians' - Christians form a human chain around Muslims to protect them from disruptions during Friday prayer in Alexandria, Egypt.
I disagree with this statement.
Truly believing in one's religion means trying to understand and gain a knowledge of everything around you, and then being able to justify your belief.
One of the ideas that John Stuart Mill presents in his work On Liberty is that freedom of freedom of thought/speech is necessary in order to keep truth alive. If one cannot disprove false opinions and justify one's own, that opinion becomes empty, and we forget why we ever even had that opinion in the first place.
A lack of understanding leads to dead truths.
Excellently made points.
My issue lies not with the exception of mindful theists, but with the norm of dogmatic ones; in the idea that faith is an acceptable stand-in for knowledge and understanding; that there exist "truths" which one should blindly accept, rather than question and investigate with scientific rigor.
If an intelligent, mindful individual can hold a theistic system of belief which is logically justifiable in this manner—if they do not accept dogma above individual thought and observation—then they have my respect.

The LaGrange Personal Aid Association uses the donations from individuals, organizations and companies to provide necessities, and even a few extras, to deserving individuals and families throughout Troup County.
"People don't have to be on food stamps to be in need of our help at times," Paul Stedman, the association's executive director, said. "What we give is based on a client's situation and how many people are in the household. Seniors and veterans are who we have special care for."
The Personal Aid Association was started in 1923 as the LaGrange Welfare Association. The organization had paper files that dated back to the late 1920s to the early 1930s. When Stedman went to a computarized system, the organization donated all the paper records to Troup County Archives.
"During the depression, many people were kept alive from the donations that they received through the association," Stedman said.
Since its conception, Stedman is the first male of the eight executive directors that the association has had.
The association provides help for their clients in a number of different ways. The Personal Aid program provides support for families in time of extreme emergencies to help cover rent, mortgage and utility bills. The Interfaith Food Closet provides needed supplies for families on a temporary and emergency basis.The Dental Care Fund helps with the cost of emergency dental procedures, with preference given to seniors, working adults and children. The association also runs many other services, with the Empty Stocking Fund and the senior Christmas program being especially important this time of year.
The organization also covers expenses and gives aid to people for things that are not usually thought of.
"One woman just needed a battery for her car. She needed the car to get to work but couldn't afford it, we got her the battery," Stedman said. "I think of my job as removing barriers in people's lives, the battery was the barrier for her."
The organization relies on the generosity of its neighbors to help keep its shelves full and its clients fed. Kroger, out of Atlanta, gives support in the form of a check to the organization. Two times a week, Publix donates breads and sweets, such as donuts and muffins. The food bank in Columbus sells and delivers the organization food and supplies for 17 cents a pound. Support is also received from local churches and private donations.
Donations from a food drive at Ethel Kight Magnet School was delivered to the association by fourth grader Hayleigh Sebaugh and her mother, Leslie Sebaugh. Stedman happily assisted in the transfer of the canned and packaged food from their van to the agency's storeroom.
The Rotary Club of LaGrange helped the association this year by again running its Soup Santa drive. The club was able to donate 726 cans of soup and bags of rice and just under $2,000 to the organization.
The association does receive national support, but the majority of its funding comes from the United Way.
"We have to be able to justify how all of the money we are given is spent, as we should," Stedman said. "You have to do that if you want to be an United Way agency. We would not exist without the funding from United Way."
Before the donations can be added to the shelves of the food closet they all must be sorted. The sorting of the items take place in the storeroom by volunteers from the different churches. Barbara Hand is the coordinator of the Interfaith Food Closet.
"Last year we had over 650 volunteers who helped us out," Reanee Cook, the secretary of the association said. "The churches man the food closet."
"We would like to thank everyone for their donations but would like to remind everyone to give throughout the year, not just on holidays. Our stocks get especially low during mid-summer." Stedman said. "These donations mean an awful lot to many of our community members, thank you."
Donations are always needed and appreciated, for further information please contact the LaGrange Personal Aid Association at (706) 882-9291.

Course overview
With over one thousand undergraduate nursing students in Trinity College, you will become part of a vibrant student community. You will meet students from all disciplines as you study core modules, and form cohesive classes within your own discipline as you specialise within your chosen area. Nursing students are taught predominantly in the School of Nursing and Midwifery building on D'Olier Street, offering students an opportunity to meet and interact with their classmates. With its proximity to Trinity College's main campus, Nursing students are never far from the centre of student life.
This four-year nursing programme (Children's and general is 4.5 years) is offered in partnership with health service providers. Students remain with the same health service provider for the duration of their programme and become an integral part of the hospital. Trinity College's linked health service providers are:
- The Adelaide and Meath Hospitals, incorporating the National Children's Hospital (AMNCH) at Tallaght
- St. James's Hospital
Is this the right course for you?
You will need to have a keen interest in healthcare, be capable of working as part of a team, and have a caring and understanding personality and outlook to enjoy working as a nurse.
Like all professional courses in health sciences, nursing places extra demands on students' time. It can be demanding, both physically and emotionally and so you should ensure that you are in a position to fully engage with the course during your time in College.
Course content
This course will give you the knowledge, skills, attitude and professional values necessary to provide high-quality, competent and caring nursing practice in the discipline of nursing you choose to follow. There are two components to the nursing degree course - a theoretical component and a clinical component.
Theoretical component
The majority of the theoretical component of the course will be taught in the Trinity College School of Nursing and Midwifery building, which is located on D'Olier Street, minutes from the main campus. Classes are also held on other sites including the main Trinity College campus and in the Trinity Centre for Health Sciences in St. James's Hospital. Teaching methods include lectures, tutorials, practical classes, clinical skills laboratories, group teaching, web-based learning and reflective workshops.
For the theoretical component, students will undertake modules of study that are shared with all nursing disciplines and modules that are discipline-specific. The subjects of study are Nursing, Biological sciences, Psychology and Sociology, with the emphasis being on Nursing (see the table below for module titles). In years one and two students will concentrate on nursing, biological, behavioural and social sciences. In years three, four and five (where applicable), students will develop and enhance their knowledge, skills and attitudes for professional nursing practice.
Clinical component
For the clinical component you will be linked with one of the health service providers and will also have clinical placements in a variety of clinical settings. For General, Psychiatric and; Intellectual disability disciplines, this will consist of 48 weeks taking place in blocks ranging from 4 to 14 weeks in each year of the programme. During the fourth year of the programme you will undertake a 36-week roster of continuous placement. The Children's and general integrated course will consist of 58 weeks of clinical placements along with a 36-week roster of continuous placement. The rostered placement spans the fourth and fifth years of the course.
As the course progresses, you will undertake a number of different clinical placements in your chosen discipline. These include:
- Medical nursing - general/specialist (including day care, outpatients, coronary care, high dependency units)
- Surgical nursing - general/specialist (including day care, outpatients, coronary care, high dependency units)
- Accident & Emergency and outpatients
- Children's nursing
- Mental health nursing
- Care of the older person
- Home nursing/community (including primary health care, voluntary and statutory agencies, intellectual disability)
- Operating theatre
- Maternity care
Which health service provider will you train with?
After you accept an offer to one of the nursing disciplines you will receive a welcome pack from Trinity College. This pack contains a form asking you to indicate which health service provider you would prefer to be linked with. Requests are dealt with on a first-come, first-served basis. Where possible you will be assigned your first choice; however, if the number of applicants exceeds the number of places available you will be assigned your second choice. A reserve list is held and if a vacancy arises it may be possible to transfer to your first choice. Most students are allocated their first choice of health service provider.

MANATEE COUNTY — Manatee County Public Schools officials are wasting no time to install a new principal at Lakewood Ranch High School.
Angela Essig, director of secondary schools for the district, said the district hopes to have a new principal in place by July 14.
"When principals return from their vacations on July 13, (we hope to) have the new principal named and presented to the school board that evening," Essig said.
At the latest, the new principal will be confirmed by July 27, she said.
Principal Mike Wilder will continue working at the school through June 25, just days before principals normally would leave to go on their summer vacations. Wilder will begin his new role as the district's coordinator of school leadership and development, a post currently held by Dr. Lyn Boyer, after principal vacations conclude.
Essig said the administrative team at Lakewood Ranch already will have items, such as the master schedule, in place before the new principal assumes the post. Wilder will assist the new principal with the transition, and Lakewood's new leader will have until Aug. 17 to prepare for the arrival of teachers, who report Aug. 18.
The district posted the principal position for Lakewood on its Web site on June 11, and applications are due by the end of the day June 24.
Interviews with select candidates will be held June 29, and a community forum with three finalists will be held at 6:30 p.m., June 30, at the school, Essig said.
Superintendent Tim McGonegal and Lynette Edwards, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, are expected to interview the finalists during the week of July 6 and will use feedback from the forum and previous interviews in determining their top choice for the job.
Essig said Lakewood Ranch's scenario is not too unusual and that the district is thankful to be replacing principals over the summer rather than mid-year.
The position at Lakewood Ranch will be the eighth principal position the district has filled over the last three months. Three other East County schools, including McNeal, Bashaw and Freedom elementary schools, will have new principals next year.

Welcome to a world of Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Ghosts and Druid Sorcerers. Enter at your own risk. You never know what you may find lurking around the corner….
Welcome to the world of Willow Cross
Cue the band and roll out the red carpet, the virtual release party of Inheritance begins Friday April 13th and ends Saturday April 14th at the Book Release Party Page. There will be tons of games and prizes! You don't want to miss it!
Willow Cross is releasing the second book of The Dark Gifts series. If you haven't read the first book, fear not! Amazingly enough, this book can also be a stand alone book! I guarantee after reading Inheritance, you'll be anxious to go back and read the the first book.
Birthright was ranked #4 in Paranormal Reads Best Books By Indie Authors 2011.
When Sarah and Jason Masada received an old house from an aunt they never knew existed, they were grateful for the blessing. Until they discovered the curse that came with being part of the Masada family–a full moon.
Intent on tracing their lineage, they descend into a world of lies, fear, ancient myths, and death. Indian hunters have tracked them to the family compound, Jason is wanted for murders he doesn't remember committing, and their new-found family is on a mission to kill them. It seems their only hope for survival is to combine forces with two unlikely allies and trek across the globe to the place where it all began. Maybe there they can find a way to end it.
You can find it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Willow Cross resides in Arkansas with her husband, two children still young enough to live at home, an enormous cat named Bitsy, and a wuss of a dog named Tank. Her home has been known to host the occasional ghost, and a few of her friends profess to be witches. Although she dearly loves Vampires and Werewolves, they are never invited for dinner.
Willow's Haunts:
Twitter: @willowcross
Willow also has a great giveaway going on at her blog! Hurry! The contest ends April 30th!
Check out what others are saying about The Dark Gifts: Inheritance!
"Oh my goodness!! Where to start?! Willow has done it again! Not only is her writing style completely addictive, her descriptions of scenes were, again, so intense that I had dreams about this book." B. Carrigan
"Saying that I couldn't put this remarkable book down, is an understatement. There are so many things I loved about this book – believable lead characters; effortless transitioning from one chapter to the next; and a masterpiece ending – I will definitely be reading "Inheritance" again and again. Willow Cross clearly knows what her readers want; and how to keep them satisfied and begging for more!" Books4Tomorrow
"OUTSTANDING!…If you are looking for action,adventure,wolves,witches&vampires….Look no further.This book has it all and more." Brenda

A physically disabled young man from England traveled to New Hampshire this past week for a thrill of a lifetime, to dog sled across the frozen Big Squam Lake.
Interestingly, the expedition included a dog who also has a disability, neither of which prevented them from enjoyment of a picture perfect winter day.
Ed Firth, 19 of Boston, England came with his father, David, and his father's partner, Ann Beever to experience the adaptive ski program at Loon Mountain, which was recommended to them as one of the best in the world when they attended a ski show.
David and Ann came last March for a reconnaissance mission to see if it would be suitable for Ed, who suffers from arthrogryposis, a musculo-skeletal condition, which makes it very hard for him to bend.
Ed is a twin and the damage was done in the womb when he did not have enough room to grow. His twin brother is totally fine but Ed will likely live his life with this condition, which has also affects his feet and hands but has no affect whatsoever on his verbal or intellectual capacity.
When the couple came last year, they heard about dog sledding and thought it might be something Ed could handle, Ann said. They booked a trip with Valley Snow Dogz of Campton, which with the Squam Lake Association are offering these 10-mile adventures out across the big lake.
Kelly Berg of Ashland also brought her team to help out, and her team included "Quest" a blind sled dog. (see video).
Quest, who is now 8 years old, used to be a lead dog but he went blind at age 5. He is now one of the more enthusiastic tail waggers in the back of the hitch of eight.
"He still loves it," Kelly said.
There could not have had better conditions for their journey, Thursday afternoon with the ice very thick, the snow adequate enough for the dogs to move their paws across, sun and no wind.

Scholar-athlete: Seymour's Alves takes pride in soccer team's improvement
As a senior captain, Seymour High's Jessica Alves took great pride in helping to bring team unity to the girls soccer team.
To her, individual awards meant little. The fact that the Wildcats made great strides from the previous season was more important.
"The best part was the girls on the team; everyone was so close," Alves said.

Constitution and By-Laws of the World Organization of the Scout Movement
Accredited representatives of National Scout Associations, which had adopted and practised the Scout Movement founded by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907, assembled in Paris, France, in July 1922 and established the International Scout Conference for the coordination of the Scout Movement throughout the world, together with an Executive Committee and a Secretariat. The present Constitution, as amended in January 2011, governs the operation of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in a kindred spirit of world cooperation and friendship.Triennial Report 2007-2010
Interamerican Region
This report of work, for the triennium 2007-2010, shows what has been done in this period, however, has behind it another object: grounds for a new road that leads us to do more, to achieve higher goals. Only then we can offer our young people the hope that living Scouting today is better than the one we live when younger and that the world will be better when we met it.

Nielsen audience segmentsOur alliance with The Nielsen Company enables us to not only identify audiences based on household-level segmentation, but tell you precisely who your most valuable consumers are and which segments you should be focusing on. Using a wide range of criteria from lifestage groups to product consumption data and measures of financial wealth, we can identify the group of segments most likely to buy your product across three Nielsen segmentation systems. So, if you want to reach hybrid vehicle owners or people who eat a LOT of cereal - we can do that! Learn more about Nielsen's segmentation systems here.
Site-level demographic and psychographic attributesThrough our integration with comScore we can identify sites that are heavily frequented by your audience using thousands of demographic and psychometric attributes. Want to reach women 24-34, who spend a lot on beauty products? No problem! Choose from more than 6,000 granular psychometric attributes to hone in on the exact audience you need to reach.
Site channel and classChoose from more than 70 channels and sub-channels ranging from autos and tech to weddings and pets. Then, decide what class of site is best suited to your campaign goals: Brand Name and/or Generic. Our Brand Name class of sites includes, well, brand name sites — although we don't classify sites that contain certain types of content (e.g. UGC) as Brand Name (even if they are in fact, household names). Our Generic class includes large but lesser known sites that have more niche appeal and vertically-focused relevance (and of course the same premium ad environments that Brand Name sites do).
Geolocation and day partCountry? Region? Zip or DMA? Lunchtime? Prime time? Weekdays? Wherever and whenever you need to focus your coverage, we can accommodate.
TechnographicsTechnographics let you target your audience using attributes unique to their computer, browser and network configurations. Technographics can help you reach Mac users with a corporate (e.g. LAN) connection or broadband users surfing the web through a Firefox browser.
RetargetingUse retargeting to continue the conversation with interested consumers (e.g. consumers who have clicked on your ad or visited your website). We can find retargeted users wherever they happen to be on our network and repeat messaging to them.

SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund Grants More than $1.1 to Help Animals in Need
Animals in need around the world will benefit from more than $1.1 million in grants awarded this year by the non-profit SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund. Since its inception, the Fund has granted more than $9 million to protect wildlife and wild places.
The Fund approved grants to 88 wildlife research and conservation projects. These grants will help researchers identify why 90 percent of one penguin species in the wild has declined; help conserve and study wild polar bears and restore populations of wild puffins; and create a sustainable way for aquarium enthusiasts to enjoy colorful tropical fish displays.
Additionally, the SeaWorld and Busch Gardens parks provide direct support to the Fund by placing zoological staff into the field to work alongside researchers on projects supported by the Fund.
Just a few of the research and conservation projects supported in 2012 include:
Responsible Tropical Aquariums SeaWorlds Rising Tide is an innovative research program that works to provide a sustainable tropical fish population for home aquariums and decrease dependency on collection from coral reefs.
Declining Penguin Populations Research is being done by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds to identify the causes of the more than 90 percent population decline of the endangered rockhopper penguin. Efforts include population monitoring, tracking and foraging studies, demographic studies and a re-evaluation of potential factors driving the population decline.
First Scientific Review of the Rothschild Giraffe To develop a long-term population monitoring program and conservation strategy for the endangered Rothschild giraffe, the Fund is supporting the Giraffe Conservation Foundations research to create the species first-ever scientific review.
Protecting Polar Bears Polar Bears International is studying and documenting polar bear populations and their arctic habitat. The goal is to understand and evaluate the true status and condition of polar bears, and the impact of human-caused and natural events on their survival.
Project Puffin To help restore the Atlantic puffin to the islands off Maine, SeaWorld bird experts annually join researchers, brought together by the National Audubon Society, to observe, record, and study North American seabirds.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......

But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

The miracle of Chanukah that we commemorate was that the oil burned for 8 days, until they were able to replenish it. Why did it take 8 days to make new oil for the menorah? The normal process for making oil doesn't take that long. Furthermore the talmud (peah) discusses olive trees who's produce is so full that oil literally leaks out. Couldn't they have accessed usable oil more quickly?
Tell me more
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for
those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There are two explanations provided for the eight day delay in getting new ritually pure oil. One opinion is that the oil was produced in a region that was a four day journey from Jerusalem. This is the explanation of the Ran on Shabbos 21b. The Meiri identifies the oil producing region as Tekoa. The other opinion is that the delay was because they were all in a state of tumas meis - ritual impurity resulting from contact with a dead body, and it takes seven days to be prufied from such tumah. Only after they were tahor - ritually pure - would they be able to produce ritually pure oil. (See Beis Yosef OC 670) |

Actually it's good to see artillerists with their coats on while manning their piece.....one gets tired of the Milly Pitcher approach to battle that many artillerists portray. Some of it may be galvanizing (but even that would be an excuse).....but there was a lot of vests and white shirts exposed at BGA Shiloh for example....

RJ, how about the fact that only one of the guys is wearing artillery trim!? You could give those guys muskets and traps, and they would look like they could be infantry as well. Just a darn good job on their part. I hope more artillery groups would examine period photos and look at the uniforms, just like this group has.

Ratings & Reviews
Overall, others give this:
Lebanon, PA
via sears.com
Good set of tools for the amount of money it cost.The case is nice and holds sockets and ratchet in place. The website doesnt give much info about the set but it is worth the $225 I paid for it compared to a S K set for $550.
Mansfield, OH
via sears.com
Has all availible sizes from Craftsman (except 2-3/8, although case will hold it). Case is well designed and holds tools and sockets in an organized matter, unlike the case for thier 3/4" drive 22pc. metric set.
Westfield, MA
via sears.com
I'd agree with Vinz on this one. The set itself is fairly comprehensive, but it's not for impact use. And although it's not part of this particular set, beware of the Craftsman 3/4-inch breaker bar. I broke one, which is what prompted me to purchase this set in the first place. The 3/4-ratchet that comes with this set is much beefier, and worked quite well when I last worked on our CAT equipment. By the way, Vinz is correct about the case this set comes in, as well. It is not of the same quality as the tool set itself.
Roseville, CA
My dad had this tool set and passed it down to me, which i have used for every major car repair through out several cars i have owned now, i have to say Craftsman had been around our family for decades!!!
Sacramento, CA
via sears.com
These are huge sockets and work great for heavy machinery work. Just remember, these are hand tools and not impacts. Order the impact set if that is what you need. Even though my set is mounted in tool racks, the plastic case the sockets come in is disappointing. They need to mold indents for each socket to keep them organized. Other than that - typical Craftsman quality and finish.

I must admit, since Lesson Zero Twilight has been raising up on the favourite pony list, but Scootaloo still holds her place firmly.

FS is only just behind TS, and I would attribute that difference to Lesson Zero, that episode has a huge effect. It was awesome, and more importantly, it was recent. FS hasn't had her own awesome ep in ages.
I think on a level playing field there would be no significant difference between the two
Rarity has been helped by her eps this season, but AJ still lags behind "Other" (not derpy/luna) and Luna, which is pretty bad, AJ isn't that bad. Hopefully her new eps coming soon will bring her back into favour. - January 11, 2012 at 1:05 PM
- MyBoyJ said...
Neat statistics. I find it a bit sad that Applejack ranks below "other" on the graph though.

I hope Dash wins a few, these charts are always interesting to me

We need more Applove. :(
Let's see how the AJ episode helps that. - January 11, 2012 at 1:10 PM

We swear, before the rush of new bronies in the summer, Twilight and Dashie would have switched places.

It may not be a true census since it doesn't include every individual in the population, but it's the best science we've got. I approve.

Believe it or not, this makes me feel better about my enlistment in the Apple Corps. It's like we're cooler because we know something other people don't know. I would like Applejack to enjoy more mainstream popularity, of course, but this is good for now, too.

Im a little disappointed the US makes for such a high % of bronies, makes you wonder whenever anyone's going to try and sell merchandise outside of it, those shipping fees, man...
Didn't expect Pinkie Pie to beat RD though, that's surprising. - January 11, 2012 at 1:18 PM
- D. Shadows said...
Silly Sethisto that's not how you spell Derpy Diana Hooves or Great and Powereful Trixie for that matter.
- January 11, 2012 at 1:19 PM
- c.t.burgh said...
I blame the fact Fluttershy is only 2nd best due to the fact she's had the least episodes featuring her. Dragonshy,Stare Master, and Bird in the Hoof were the only three to really focus in on her. Green isn't your color was more about Rarity and Fluttershy, so I don't include that. Not to mention Fluttershy has yet to get an exclusive episodes in this season! Rarity has already had 2!(with Sweetie Belle in one) and Applebloom has had 2 as well! What daaaaa heeeell!
- January 11, 2012 at 1:19 PM
- T-Sex said...
Woo, that turned out better than I thought it would :D
I wish Trixie and Rarity had scored a little higher though >.> <.< >.> - January 11, 2012 at 1:19 PM
- gillnavisingh said...
Oh, I hope people don't start the ridiculous remarks like:
"Silly Bronies, that's not how you spell X"
"Twilight Sparkle? I think you mean to say X?" - January 11, 2012 at 1:21 PM
- TechnoTrot said...
Hey hey, US bronies.
Check Appendix C for a breakdown of favorite pony by country.
The difference between Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy?
ONE VOTE. - January 11, 2012 at 1:25 PM

It's a little late to be stopping me now unless you have a time machine and something that can disrupt a stable time loop. - January 11, 2012 at 1:26 PM
- Mr Mailbox said...
The best 3 ponies are the top three. Whilst Fluttershy is clearly best pony, Twilight Sparkle is still epic enough to warrant being the top.
Was expecting rarity to be closer to rainbow and celestia and applejack need tons more love! - January 11, 2012 at 1:27 PM
- Nightmare Moon said...
I'd love to know what the reason is that makes Twilight high on these polls.
As for the others, I wonder who got listed in the others, but oh well. - January 11, 2012 at 1:27 PM
- H. said...
I think the results based on sex are highly incorrect. I don't think CoderBrony took into consideration a lot of female fans are pre-gen initated and therefore likely to frequent non-FIM based/brony based MLP sites like MLParena and the Trading Post. There is absolutley no way only 14% or so fans of FIM are female.
Apart from that, pretty good. - January 11, 2012 at 1:29 PM
- RushingRoulette said...
I would have expected Fluttershy to come out of top? Personally, I love Twilight second only to Applejack but I thought Fluttershy was more favoured amongst the bronies.
- January 11, 2012 at 1:33 PM
- Jimperator said...
Interesting. I could never be a statistician though.
@Nightmare Moon
Of the mane 6, she's often depicted as the leader, not to mention many episodes feature her prominently more often then the others, plus she was the first pony we got introduced to, etc. So she's something of the shows unofficial main character. That might be why. - January 11, 2012 at 1:33 PM
- Flutterfan said...
I never get the sense that Twilight is the most popular pony.
- January 11, 2012 at 1:34 PM
- Mr Mailbox said...
@Nightmare Moon Twilight is the obvious choice for people who don't think too deeply into it. She's a great protagonist, likeable and funny.
I guess a large population of the people who go to these polls would "identify" with her personality more than any other. - January 11, 2012 at 1:34 PM

Get Vinyl a slot. If Derpy can make it into the pole, then so can she!

Lot's of delicious stats. Omnomnom.
I hope that for the next study my comment about "cultural zones" will be taken into consideration. It seems that there was a lot of rumble about that ;) Would be nice to have such things divided into more detailed info for people outside USA. It's 40% of the fandom after all.
PL, CZE, SLV, SLO, HUN, CRO, SRB etc. could go into "slavic gourp" (I know that my brothers ain't technically Slavs), GER, FRA, SPA, POR, ITA, GBR etc. into "western europe group" and so on.
And correlations. YaY for correlations.
One last thing is the age groups. It must be the first study where I see such randomly chosen groups. Gotta read methodology to see if there is any good reason for them. Can't think of something like that tbh. - January 11, 2012 at 1:42 PM
- Nykkes64 said...
AppleJack is at the middle instead at the top? Oh darn. At least Pinkie Pie is at the top favorite.
- January 11, 2012 at 1:43 PM
- JiiKoo said...
Wasn't this already posted a while ago, or is it just me? Anyways, it's no surprise Twi was the most popular. As has been said, she is (or at least was) the "main" mane character and she is somewhat easy to "identify" with.
I'm glad Pinkie got so many votes! She's the best for me! :) - January 11, 2012 at 1:44 PM
- Ryan said...
That many people REALLY like Fluttershy? Ugh. Even Applejack has more personality. Rarity and Twilight should have been near-tied. I can't believe Rarity was so far back.
- January 11, 2012 at 1:44 PM
- Mojo said...
I just don't get Fluttershy's appeal, she's the least demensional of the mane six. I mean I get she's all cute and moe and stuff and I like that but compared to characters like Twilight and Rarity she just doesn't stack up that well.
Also while AJ is near the bottom of my list for the main six I don't get why people like a character who's only appeared in two episodes more than her, or why Derpy as awesome as she is got so many votes. Ah well I guess Fanon really effects peoples perception of things. - January 11, 2012 at 1:47 PM
- Jimperator said...
Fluttershy's The Woobie. Of course allot of bronies like her. - January 11, 2012 at 1:48 PM
- Eric said...
Rarity needs more love :(
I don't care what the stats say! - January 11, 2012 at 1:48 PM
- Mojo said...
Yeah I don't get why people don't like Rarity that much. She is the most developed character among the main six and on average her episodes are among the best.
I like Twilight more but looking at all the characters objectively Rarity IS the best character on the show. - January 11, 2012 at 1:49 PM
- Mojo said...
No Fluttershy is moe, a Woobie is a character who has stuff go bad for them frequently and so you feel sorry for them. A lot of Luna's appeal before her episode came from this. - January 11, 2012 at 1:52 PM
- CommanderHurricane said...
97% of bronies have never married? Damn, that's a high percent.
About Fluttershy getting no episodes recently; I think its because she is already so popular, even without a lot of focus on her, so, in Hasbro's eyes, they don't need to push her more to sell more of her toys.
In short, everypony should start supporting the CMC, so they stop fucking getting episodes. - January 11, 2012 at 1:53 PM
- Nightmare Moon said...
@Mr Mailbox & Jimperator: Meh, Fluttershy still gets my vote for best, Luna and Nightmare are tied for my second favorite.
- January 11, 2012 at 1:54 PM
- Jelfes said...
@CommanderHurricane Well, the majority are either in highschool or college, so I think that's pretty reasonable.
- January 11, 2012 at 1:54 PM
- TechnoTrot said...
The thing isn't that Rarity is hated or anything (she's in my top 3 for crying out loud), but moreso the fact that the poll only asked us to pick our #1.
I'm not gonna lie; Fluttershy was the pony responsible for me getting into the show. She's gotten screwed over in terms of development though, so I understand the frustration at seeing her near the top. - January 11, 2012 at 1:55 PM
- Mojo said...
Why? Sisterhood Social and Family Apprication were among the best of the season. - January 11, 2012 at 1:55 PM
- Jimperator said...
I thought that was Iron Woobie? Whereas general Woobie was just a character you wanna hug the hell out of because they have a certain audience appeal in their behavior and how the world treats them?
But yeah, Moe probably works better. - January 11, 2012 at 1:56 PM
- wackypony said...
i don't understand Flutterlove. yeah, she's a nice and cute character but she has next to no personality other than being shy.
- January 11, 2012 at 1:57 PM
- Nightmare Moon said...
Actually, that's why I like her, and besides, she's had her times when she wasn't so shy. - January 11, 2012 at 1:59 PM
- James Corck said...
I like the graph for "Going Public". I have to say it makes me really happy to see how open we are about this fandom. We love ponies, screw prejudices :3

- Arcane Scroll said...
At 41 I am an insignificant minority, I kinda figured that :)
Interesting to see these stats, although having talked with a lot of fellow bronies I am not surprised by some of these numbers (high education numbers) and was surprised by others (that many single bronies? I know quite a few that are married and have kids). So, awesome stats are awesome! - January 11, 2012 at 2:00 PM
- Mojo said...
No the Iron Woobie is the character who doesn't really spend their time feeling sorry for themselves and keep pressing on despite all the crap that happens to them.
basically the Woobie but with less crying. - January 11, 2012 at 2:01 PM
- Muffinsforever said...
Well we all knew Twilight was best pony. Fluttershy just can't beat the adorkability of Twilight.
But the pony that got me into this show, seeing as she was spammed on 4chan a good bit way back when, was Pinkie Pie and she is my number 2 behind Twilight. - January 11, 2012 at 2:02 PM
- Luxin_Nocte said...
The biggest non english speaking bronie community is from Germany, Buck Yeah!
- January 11, 2012 at 2:02 PM
- Jimperator said...
Because her shyness is pulled off just right, It's seen as both her characters personality flaw, and her most endearing aspect. That would be my biggest explanation for "Flutterlove". - January 11, 2012 at 2:03 PM
- Mr Mailbox said...
@wackypony To do with love of animals, random assertiveness, sticking up for friends, breaking expectations whenever possible in addition to the shyness. Plus generally everything in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92nPyj2Qdto
- January 11, 2012 at 2:04 PM
- Jimperator said...
Ohh right, thanks. I really need to read up on some of these articles again.
However there are times when Fluttershy has stiffened her resolve and become assertive. So she does sometimes meet aspects of the trope. - January 11, 2012 at 2:06 PM

Washington State is Best State, German is second best language.

I mean, she's the best Earth pony other than Pinkie! - January 11, 2012 at 2:29 PM
- CityFlyer502 said...
So many statistics. Probably not going to have time to pour through all of them. And once again, Twilight takes the top, with Fluttershy close behind. They are both tied for my favorite, though Fluttershy tends to win out most of the time. And for those questioning Fluttershy's draw, a couple of people have already pointed it out. It's definitely a given that she's timid. But even so, she's managed to keep on going and tough it out in situations that she's clearly not comfortable with. And she's clearly capable of pulling off the unexpected. The events in 'Dragonshy' and 'Stare Master' definitely come to mind. And how can you not admire her dedication to taking care of animals. You would need crazy amounts of patience to pull that off, something that she clearly must have. She may not be as exciting as some of other characters, but that's why she's my favorite. She is who she is; nothing more and nothing less.

This was incredible research. I gotta find these so called, "42" fans in my area. I thought I was alone here. I'm sure the fan base is much larger then this, I wasn't even aware of this Census.
- January 11, 2012 at 2:30 PM

Everything is better with science! It would be cool if it could be an official brony checkup with every brony making that same test... But that is something that will only exist in my dreams i guess =(

Pretty much how I pictured it save for the CMC order. I mean, I like Scoots best too, but I never realised she had that big of a following.
- January 11, 2012 at 2:36 PM
- addictedkoala said...
It makes me sad that Twilight is the most popular when she's by far the pony most like myself. Then I get more sad because I'm thinking like a hipster :(
- January 11, 2012 at 2:45 PM
- Deibron said...
well, my top 3 favorites are in the top three spots so I can't really complain that much that the order is reversed.
- January 11, 2012 at 2:45 PM
- Jake said...
The State of the Herd report references "over nine thousand census submissions." I'm sure that wasn't intentional, but I tend to notice the number 9000 whenever it is mentioned. Thanks, Dragon Ball Z.
Aside from that, it looks like a lot of work was put into this. I'll have to read it when I have time later on tonight. - January 11, 2012 at 2:46 PM
- the-matthew said...
I'm rather disappointed at Rarity's poor showing. I think she has the most potential for character development of all the cast, perhaps because she's superficially the most like what people expect MLP to be but in reality so much more.
But Twilight's my second-favourite, so that's OK. - January 11, 2012 at 2:48 PM
- ALazyFriend said...
fancy mathematics/stats to quote applejack, while the research is neat the survey itself is by no means accurate, so I would assume mane 6 ponies be more or less equal if the sample size was larger and if it was surveyed across all brony community. The good/bad thing about this is now we have evidences to back up support that MLP community are somewhat highly educated, mostly male fandom, most never married (yet, although in a relationship vs. not in a relationship could be surveyed).

Wow that's a big file. I don't think I'm scientifically educated enough for this. I'll see how much I understand.
Oh, no, this is simple. Yay!
Though the first half was all I found interesting.
Wait, where's the total population? It's probably somewhere but I'll just add up the numbers here and ... 9015! Ha, I thought he was just saying "Over 9000" at the beginning to make a meme reference. It really is just barely over 9 thousand. - January 11, 2012 at 3:07 PM
- Senior Waffles said...
Fun stuff.
Not much love for AJ, or Derpy either. What gives? AJ may not be best pony, but Derpy certainly is.
Everyone knows there are no girls on the internet :P
Top countries, very predictable.
I'm ashamed to say that I have not gone public yet, only the internet knows but none of my friends, family, or coworkers do.
The marital status one made me lol, but to be fair, considering most of us are between 18 - 23 it's not all that surprising. But the really interesting part is that bronies have a low rate of divorce (or it's too early in the marriage to tell :P ) - January 11, 2012 at 3:12 PM
- Octavia said...
Looked over all the stats. Rather interesting. For the most part, they are pretty much what I would have guessed anyway. It's weird how time changes statistics. Like some mentioned, those favorite pony charts would have looked a bit different before the huge influx over the summer. Dash would have been much much higher on the chart. Probably where Twilight or Fluttershy are on that one. She seems to be loosing ground. I'm glad to see my favorite of the mane six, Fluttershy, is still holding on so strong after all this time. Even back then Fluttershy was usually within the top two or three spots. Twilight really moved up as well. Back towards the beginning of the year and perhaps around Spring she was close to where Applejack is now. Twilight has made quite the dramatic comeback. Of course poor Applejack has always been really low on those charts. Usually last. :( Derpy seems a little lower than I'd expect.

Scootaloo is best pony.
Ok, that out of the way, I think part of it can be explained by looking at the breakdown of popularity by age. Scootaloo peaks among 15-17 year-olds (those starting to find their place in the world, like Scootaloo is doing) and then again among the 20-49 year-olds (the 80's and 90's generation). She really fits in well among this group because she does have a strong personality and is female without needing to fit a female stereotype. Many popular women of those generations also exhibited this same personality (see Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Louise Post).
The other two CMC don't really fit within this view, Sweetie Belle is more girly (popularity ends at 29 year-old) and Applebloom is pure country girl (not popular with either age extreme, but steady among the rest of the ages). - January 11, 2012 at 3:16 PM

Cyberpony - January 11, 2012 at 3:31 PM
- Senior Waffles said...
In terms of best pony and their character, here's how I do it. I take their amount of awesome plus likability (similarity to myself is never considered) and divide by the amount of screen time they are given. I then multiply by .8 and the remaining .2 comes from what the fandom can do with what they are given. So naturally, because Derpy gets minimal screen time every episode (and next to no dialogue either) but she always has maximum awesomeness and likability (seriously, who can honestly say they DON'T like Derpy?) she is best pony.
This also explains why I don't care for Twilight as much. Every pony does something awesome, for Twilight it's adorkablness, but that only goes so far, and the awesomeness doesn't spread over all her screen time.
For Fluttershy, she's just flat out normal adorable, and has given us things like *hnnng* "YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME!" followed by trolling Discord (Discord people, Discord!) and then of course that one comic somebody made of the situation where Fluttershy puts the moves on Discord and he surrenders. - January 11, 2012 at 3:31 PM

Pretty interesting gave a lot of well interesting facts and percentages that I never have seen before I apploud thee sir census maker

- One Radical Dude said...
I know Spike isn't a pony and isn't as big as the rest of the main cast, but dang, I didn't realize he'd be that far at the bottom. Sad, because I believe he's really developed a lot as a character, and has been a big hero this season. He is certainly an underrated character.
As for the rest, I guess some folks were right. Twilight is the most popular. I expected Rainbow Dash to get the honor. I'm surprised how low Applejack ranked, too. - January 11, 2012 at 4:08 PM

Twilight Sparkle is best pony. It's been proven by Science! Poor AJ though... she's not even up with the rest of the Mane 6...
@Mojo yep, that was my immediate reaction when I first started watching the show.
Twilight Sparkle: I'm Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?
Fluttershy: Um... I'm *mumbles*.
Me: OMG they have a moe pony! lololololol - January 11, 2012 at 4:23 PM
- Equestrian Knight said...
I think Rarity and Applejack should at least be closer to Dash and Pinkie. It's nice to see Rarity has more love now days tho, i have always had the impression not many people liked Rarity and that gave me a sad for she is a wonderful pony, now we just need to work on loving applejack more.
Why is their so little love for Celestia our all loving, harmless prank playing princess (and i don't mean trollestia) she should be hoof to hoof with Luna up there, for sisterly love is best love. As for all the other ponies they also need more love. I firmly believe all pony are best pony except for Twilight Sparkle (she's special) but that's because she stole my hart and won't give it back, not that I'm complaining. :) - January 11, 2012 at 5:12 PM
- marioandsonic said...
Not surprised. Twilight is best pony.
I feel really bad for AJ, though... - January 11, 2012 at 5:20 PM
- Lost01 said...
@Doctor Valor
Well, it depends if you look at the results per capita or in absolute terms. Yes, per capita we have the lowest rate of bronies in Canada, but in absolute terms we are the fourth province with the most bronies (46, so 6.94% of all canadian bronies).
Either way, even if the sample is representative of the brony population, it's relatively pointless to calculate per capita because the results would be skewed by scales that aren't all equals to begin with...(46 out of 8 millions for Quebec VS 38 out of 0.94m for Nova Scotia).
Still, we certainly don't have enough bronies up here!

Although I personally prefer Rainbow Dash, we British Bronies rated Luna higher than the others.

Popularity does not mean nothing, AJ still the best pony for me.
- January 11, 2012 at 7:10 PM
- One Radical Dude said...
@Sentry Gun
I agree. Screw popularity. It shouldn't affect the way you feel about your favorite character. It's just numbers. - January 11, 2012 at 8:29 PM
- Coder Brony said...
I'm confused why you think per capita rankings would be skewed. It's exactly the opposite, raw population counts are skewed because areas with high population can appear to be more active than smaller ones, even if there are relatively few subjects relative to the population.
Let's say that Ponyville has 10 members of the Rainbow Dash fan club, while Canterlot has 200. If we just look at raw numbers, Canterlot appears to be much more in love with RD. But if Ponyville has an overall population of 200 ponies, and Canterlot has 100,000, the per capita rates are a very different story. Ponyville has 50 fans per 1,000 ponies, and Canterlot only has 2 fans per 1,000 ponies.
Per capita calculations are used precisely because they allow for relative examinations of some demographic among areas with diverse population densities.
You can argue til the longest day of 1,000 years arrives, but you can't change the facts. Based on the survey results (which may not represent reality on the ground), you have a much better chance that a random pony you encounter anywhere other than Quebec will be a brony.
I remain your faithful demographer,

There are 8 other bronies in Japan? Where are you guys?

- DawnSparkle06 said...
I feel bad for the non AJ love around here. The reasoning my brony comrades (Which I proudly converted!) have is that she is the most down-to-earth pony (ha) in the show, and that makes her boring. I personally love AJ because she can do amazing things with no magic or flying capabilities, or even Pinkie's ability to do whatever she pleases whenever she wants to. I mean, look at Applebuck season when she was revered as the most loved pony in Ponyville itself! That being said, I don't have a favorite pony, because I'd rather not put one above or below the others, but rather I love aspects of each and really hope they get more character enriching episodes like Rarity and Dash have gotten *cough* Fluttershy *cough* Applejack *cough* Is Twilight best pony? Possibly in certain events. Other ponies would easily beat her in other instances with the way they would act. Still a fun spreadsheet, I loved it!

- MarkTheCat said...
Of course Applejack is options away from the main 6. ;-;
- January 13, 2012 at 10:52 AM
- b0b4_f3tt_043 said...
The census certainly provides an interesting view of the fanbase. However, I for one am not going to let a collection of charts, graphs and tables change my perception of my favorites. The way I see it, a character's lack of popularity is not worth fussing over. If anything, it should only serve to reinforce a fan's love for the character! - Well, at least I'm going to put it that way.
I'll admit that I find the lack of love for Applejack and Rarity disturbing. Dash appears somewhat underappreciated too. But I've got my hipster glasses ready for that...
As for Twilight Sparkle dominating the charts... all right! - January 13, 2012 at 1:31 PM
- reversalmushroom said...
Applejack didn't even make it into the top 6, but the rest of the Mane 6 did? I feel very sorry for her.

The impacts of the orgonite in East Africa
It cost the UN Red Cross society to look for a solution to help the resident of these areas with humanitarian Aids so as to see them prosper in their social lives. All these had been taking place due to excess draught which for many times these regions had been experience all over the years.
Its true that draught for many years have led to economic fluctuation to the extent that even the cattle rearing zones have also got difficulties in handling their cattles. It had also affected the food supply in these regions for the last twenty years.
In terms of fishing production in my research its true that in the midst of draught fish farming and fishing could not be easily access so on that concept the drought for many years have made these regions to suffer much in economics.
As a region fully invaded by witchcraft like in Tanzania we have a tribe called Waskuma who are very much notorious in sorcery. In Kenya in the areas like Nyamira, night runners and other forms of witchcraft has made many people to lose their lives, freedom and hope in life. Also in the pyramid Migingo where Nywawas ( jujus) have terrified people ,now through the orgonite life will soon going to be realized. In places as Nyamira through the thorough distribution of the orgonite we have good reports from such places.
So in all these problems which these regions have suffered, now orgonite have come with a lasting solution. Now we have enough rainfall even if you check the weather movement through the goggle map, In fact its real that rain is now sufficiently falling and due to that agriculture which is the mother of economy have taken root to upgrade and up lift the economic standard of our people .
Even the areas of Lodwer and Turkana in Kenya which for the last decades have suffered greatly due to famine now the orgonite have caused a remarkable change and now people are doing great farming On top of that even petroleum have been discovered in that regions of Turkana something to smile as we hear for its appositive achievement. Fishing activities are now taking place in those areas with ease.
To crown it all its true that orgonite has greatly improved the living standard of the East Africa and its our desire that in the next few decades our people will effectively benefit and none will suffer as before.
