27 – 29 November 2003 Dunedin, New Zealand (Revised 5 Dec 03) The purpose of this workshop was to discuss technical issues related to the assessment and management of deepwater stocks. This report, prepared by session chairs, summarises discussions and considerations of possible ways forward. A list of participants, the agenda and abstracts are appended. Session 1- Abundance Estimation Presentations in this session covered aspects of trawl, acoustic and egg surveys; the use of catch per unit effort (CPUE) data; and tag and recapture data. The presentations referred to ongoing work in the northeast, northwest and southeast Atlantic, the Ross Sea and waters around New Zealand. Species covered included orange roughy, redfish, smooth oreo dory, Antarctic toothfish, and a wide range of species from the northeast Atlantic. In discussion, the question arose as to what made abundance estimation of deepwater and deepsea species special (or not). For some deepwater species, such as orange roughy, it was noted that they have low productivity, are highly aggregating, often but not exclusively around underwater features, and that they react to survey and fishing gear not just at the time of capture but also over longer periods. The reasons for aggregating behaviour (e.g. suitable conditions or learned behaviour) were discussed but no conclusions were reached. It was recognized that more work on fish behaviour is highly desirable. It was also noted that low productivity in deepwater may not be universal. Some "deepwater" species (particularly those with long pelagic phases, strong diurnal migration patterns, or preferred depths above about 800 m) have moderate levels of productivity. Egg surveys were discussed but were considered unlikely to be a good means of estimating abundance for a variety of reasons. Problems with the use of CPUE to index abundance were noted (also in Session 3). Trawl and acoustic surveys were viewed as potentially the most useful methods for estimating abundance. Both could be used to create relative abundance indices, although the use of acoustics is difficult even for relative abundance estimation when the target species is also associated with other species during the survey period. Both methods present problems with respect to the estimation of absolute abundance. For acoustics, difficulties include target strength identification and target species identification. For trawl surveys, estimating catchability is problematic. The use of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) was discussed. The potential to use such technology in its own right for abundance estimation, or in experiments to estimate catchability of trawls was noted. Most participants agreed that technical work alone was not sufficient for the many problems associated with abundance estimation to be solved. Rather, a greater understanding of fish behaviour (natural and in response to fishing and research vessels and gear) is needed. In particular, further work is needed on factors influencing aggregating behaviour. ROVs and AUVs may offer opportunities in this respect. Other issues of concern included those relating to stock structure, distribution and movement. Obtaining some form of relative or absolute abundance estimates may be feasible, but their validity will depend on appropriate survey designs that take account of underlying distributions and movements. In general, it was accepted that there is no one best way to estimate abundance but that often a range of methods analysed individually or in combination could offer the best way forward. In some areas, trawl and acoustic surveys are in regular use and the estimates and indices derived are used in stock assessments with varying degrees of success – often depending on the availability and quality of other data sources. The costs of surveys are high and it was recognised that the cost-benefit of surveys was a consideration in deciding on best ways forward in any circumstance. Dedicated research cruises undoubtedly provide the best means of providing abundance estimates, and can often undertake a wider range of associated work at the same time. However, the use of industry-based surveys (especially acoustic surveys) may provide useful inputs for stock assessments. Session 2 – Biology and Age and Growth This was a varied session, with nine papers covering a wide range of topics. These included biological characteristics of deepwater fish species in the North Atlantic, New Zealand and Chile, stock structure, age and growth, climate change effects, and relationships between oceanographic features and fisheries. In addition, IFREMER researchers presented a video on an ROV cruise that examined aspects of catchability between video and trawl catches. Given the variety of presentations, and the time available, the discussion was limited and focused on key gaps in knowledge.
1. Biological characteristics can vary widely between species, but many feature high longevity, slow growth rates, high age at maturity and low fecundity. Session participants recognised that many (but not all) deepwater species have relatively low annual production to biomass ratios. For such stocks, this means that sustainable yield levels are relatively low, and recovery from depleted states can be slow.
2. Routine data collection and analysis is critical, and this should not be restricted to data needed for immediate stock assessment purposes. Biological characteristics (e.g. size-at-maturity) can change as fish stock size changes. Such characteristics should therefore be monitored as ancillary inputs to evaluating stock status. Density dependent effects need to be considered in the stock assessment, as estimates of catchability, maturity, growth rates, spawning success and other factors may change.
3. Stock structure is generally poorly known for most deepwater species. Their depth means that direct methods to monitor distribution and movements (like tagging) can rarely be applied. Methods to determine stock relationships were not reviewed, but the importance of knowing stock boundaries to plan research and management was acknowledged.
4. Biological parameters are often poorly known, and variable. It was noted in discussion that several deepwater species (e.g. orange roughy and hoki) do not spawn each year. This means that reliance upon gonad stage data to determine age at maturity, or the maturity ogive, may be misleading. In the case of orange roughy, there is a transition zone in the otolith that appears to mark the onset of spawning. However, the frequency of spawning is important, in terms of the proportion of the population available to the fishery or the biomass survey each year, particularly if the proportion varies between years.
5. Ageing is a requirement for monitoring population status, as well as evaluating changes over time. Technology has given a lot more confidence to the interpretation of otolith rings as annual, with chemical and radiometric methods and improved validation. In the absence of initial data, general age and growth estimates may be available from other areas or fisheries. Production ageing is still needed, however, in the major fisheries.
6. There is a pressing need to try to understand the ecological processes affecting biological variability. Without this, predictive modelling can be misleading. At the least, consideration should be given to trophic interactions and links between deepwater demersal fish and the mesopelagic energy source.
7. Stock-recruitment relationships, and levels of recruitment, are poorly known for most, if not all, deepwater species. Yet this is important for understanding changes in stock size, and for the management of sustainable fisheries.
Session 3 – Assessment of Deepsea Fisheries A total of seven papers were presented in this session; however, two of these were more closely related to the topic of Session 4 (below). Topics covered in the other five papers included hyper-depletion in orange roughy fisheries (the situation where commercial CPUE decreases at a faster rate than abundance itself), and assessment methodologies and results for Namibian orange roughy, Patagonian toothfish, New Zealand hoki, and northeast Atlantic (ICES region) deepwater sharks. Based on the presentations and the outcome from ensuing discussions, session participants identified a number of key data gaps and data needs for stock assessments of deepwater species. The three most important data needs, in order of priority, are:
1. Catch data – at the minimum, it is essential to know the amount and location of fisheries catches. This needs to be collected at an appropriate spatial scale given the localised aggregations formed by many deepwater species. It would also be useful to collect data on length frequency distributions of target species, and catches of by-catch species;
2. Valid indices of relative abundance – preferably, these should be fishery-independent but, realistically, they are likely to be fishery-dependent commercial catch rates. It will be extremely difficult to develop "valid" interpretations of the indices at the beginning of a fishery; however, programmes should be developed to collect data on relevant factors such as the relationship between commercial CPUE and abundance, selectivity by fisheries, stock boundaries, migration patterns, and the dynamics of aggregating behaviour; and
3. Estimates of absolute abundance – ultimately, these are needed to estimate long-term sustainable yields. They can be obtained either from a fishery-independent survey that provides estimates of absolute abundance (e.g., an acoustic survey) or an assessment model that estimates absolute abundance based on catch and relative abundance.
Other data needs that may be crucial for some stocks, and will almost always improve the accuracy and precision of assessments if available, include:
4. Relative or absolute estimates of recruitment;
5. The relationship between stock size and recruitment; and
6. Age data.
Regarding the importance of ageing fish, although age information is essential for estimating population productivity, session participants concluded that it is less important to devote resources to ageing stocks for which age and growth information already exists for other stocks of the same species. Estimation of ages – which enables estimation of growth rates, natural mortality, and sometimes recruitment – was crucial for determining sustainable yields for orange roughy fisheries when they were first initiated. It wasn't until development of a validated ageing system that it became evident that orange roughy is characterised by unusually low growth rates, low natural mortality, high age at maturity, and high longevity. Ageing of other orange roughy populations has demonstrated some differences in these life history parameters, but such differences may not be sufficient to justify initiation of major research initiatives on ageing, particularly if resources are limited. It may make more sense to give higher priority to other data needs, such as the need for abundance indices, and simply adopt the age-length keys, growth parameters and natural mortality estimates from a similar stock. Finally, in order to satisfy wider objectives that are often mandated by international agreements or national policy, it may be necessary to augment existing, or to set up new, programmes to provide data on:
Session participants also briefly discussed the situation of multi-species fisheries for which it is extremely difficult to obtain species-specific data on catch and abundance. These may need to be assessed and managed as species assemblages, with application of the precautionary approach with regards to setting catch or effort limits. Session 4 – Management of Deepsea Fisheries Presentations in this session covered descriptions of management arrangements for high seas orange roughy, deepsea and deepwater fisheries in New Zealand; development of high seas fisheries in the western Indian Ocean; and frameworks for management advice including reference points. Discussion time did not permit consideration of all issues. Some issues (e.g. the need for new legal instruments and the use of MPAs in fisheries management) were therefore intentionally deferred, as it was thought highly likely that they would receive much attention at the Deepsea 2003 conference to be held the following week. Discussion was focused on four main areas:
General Discussion The workshop considered the potential value of a hypothetical RFMO: "The Commission for the Conservation of Deepwater Fish Stocks". There was no discussion on the logistics of creating such an organization, but rather whether or not it could have merit from a scientific and management viewpoint. It was recognized that to have merit, such an organization would need to be global and that it would need to consider a carefully agreed set of stocks. Although such an organization would have no ability to manage stocks within national jurisdictions, it could serve a management purpose for high seas fisheries by, for example, setting catch limits; determining data collection protocols, research planning and coordination; and providing compliance regimes. It would also provide a forum for the better exchange of data, technologies and assessment-management approaches. This would be highly advantageous given the lack of data or information on deepwater fish species globally, as it would enhance the ability of scientists working on such fisheries to exchange information and views. A related proposal was presented during Session 3. It was suggested that a network be established for the investigation of deepsea fisheries and resources among scientists belonging to APEC economies. Again, workshop participants generally supported the concept, but did not discuss the logistics of such an endeavour in detail. Overall, whilst recognizing the wide variety of life histories of deepwater fish species, workshop participants highlighted the observation that many species have a low productivity to biomass ratio and will therefore also have low sustainable yields. As for all fisheries, the pressing need is for complete and accurate catch and effort information, ideally at a highly disaggregated level, together with valid biomass indices (relative at least and ideally absolute if possible). Abundance estimates may be based on suitably modelled commercial catch rates (CPUE), or on trawl, acoustic or possibly visual techniques. The integration of commercial-based and research vessel-based data collection schemes needs further investigation. In addition to basic catch data and abundance information, early fishery and ongoing otolith sampling should be undertaken to give the potential of ultimately incorporating age information into assessments. Whilst stock assessment or management procedures may be able to provide good bases for decision-making, the collection of appropriate ancillary biological data to be used in more comprehensive analyses may be crucial for elucidating patterns in population distribution and viability (e.g. contractions or expansions of spatial or temporal distribution). The need for further work on stock structure was also identified as another key area of research. Summary: Best Ways Forward Workshop participants identified the following eight actions as the main immediate priorities for improving the assessment and management of deepsea resources.

The Art Institute of Boston's (AIB) connection to Lesley provides benefits that other independent art colleges simply can't claim.
The Art Institute of Boston (AIB) is an art college through and through (come visit and you'll immediately get what we mean). But it's got the extraordinary benefit of being one of four schools within Lesley University—a multi-site liberal arts university based in Cambridge just across the Charles River from Boston, where both AIB and Lesley students live together in the residence halls.At AIB, you get all the best attributes of a small, private art college. Your teachers know you, you're more than a number on a page. Yet, you have access to all the financial aid, the disciplines, and the resources of a larger university. So while you have outstanding studio space and art school facilities, you also have the opportunity to earn scholarships, grants, and self-help aid on campus. You'll have access to excellent libraries, active sports teams, career resources, and even the opportunity to seamlessly transition into one of several master's programs, if you find that is the next step for you.The AIB connection to Lesley offers educational and financial options that other independent art schools can't claim, and a range of class choices that give you perspective essential to the artistic messages you want to convey.Lesley University opens up the world of liberal arts to AIB students. Take a poetry class, dive into history, find a new perspective in a biology class. And live in a quiet, safe neighborhood with other University students. Lesley University has been shaking up preconceived notions, especially about education, for years. The combination of AIB and Lesley University lets you see into art and discover beyond, giving you the educational baseline to take yourself to wherever it is you want to go.

Support from the top is crucial to SRM
This week I attended – and spoke at
– Sainsbury's fourth annual supplier conference and awards.
Alongside a host of speakers from the supermarket who addressed strategic suppliers on subjects from sustainability to logistics, online developments to customer insights, the opening presentation was given by a board director – this year, chief financial officer John Rogers.
As I said to the gathered group, strategic relationship management (SRM) doesn't work without the support of those at the top. (more…)


text: Earlier this week Fishery Officers apprehended three groups of people diving for paua on Northland's west coast at Kawerua. A total of 274 paua, almost all undersize, were seized. In the worst case of offending a 51-year-old Dargaville man was apprehended with 121 undersize shellfish. At the same time a 54-year-old man was found with 22 paua. A Dargaville man and woman were also located just after leaving the water and found to have 60 paua between them, 55 of which were undersize. In the most unusual apprehension of the day, two Hokianga men were inspected as they were about to leave the beach riding horses. The first man had 41 paua, 33 of which were undersize, and the second man had 30, all of which were undersize. "This is a very disappointing result," said Darren Edwards, Ministry of Fisheries Northland Field Operations Manager. "The west coast paua fishery is constantly coming under pressure from local people who continue to ignore the fisheries regulations." The daily limit for paua is 10 per gatherer and the minimum size 125 millimetres. "If we keep seeing offending on this scale, the fishery will not be sustainable and eventually there will be no paua for the future," Mr Edwards said. Whangarei MP and Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister Phil Heatley said the actions of the alleged offenders were extremely frustrating, particularly at the end of a successful public summer awareness campaign. "The Ministry has been sending the message that Every Fish Counts. It has been very well received with generally good behaviour throughout the country," Mr Heatley said. "Responsible fishers everywhere will be outraged that people like this continue to ruin it for the rest of us." Those apprehended face prosecution and fines of up to $250,000. Any dive gear, boats and vehicles used in the offending can be forfeited on conviction. "Fishery Officers can't be everywhere and we greatly appreciate the public's assistance," said Mr Edwards. "If you see any activity you think may be suspicious, contact the Ministry on 0800 4 POACHER (0800 476 224)."

Must share story about Twilight party So there was a "Breaking Dawn" party at the local bookstore last night. One of my kids went with some friends even though they don't read the books. They just wanted to watch the show (and win Twilight-branded Godiva chocolate bars for their outrageous outfits). The theme was "prom." At least one girl came as Bella in a wedding dress, and another cross-dressed as Edward for the same occasion. It was also covered in the local paper. Best quote:"I like that it was written by a mom, not a writer," Maggie.., 18, said through fake fangs. "It's the perfect book. It's what everyone wants — a model boyfriend who glows. It's relatable."

Atlantic recording artist Jason Mraz has revealed the remarkable Companion music video for his new single, "The Woman I Love." Directed by Elliott Sellers with graphics by Blend Studios, the clip which debuted last night via Mraz's own @jason_mraz Twitter account is the result of an unprecedented online contest where Twitter users were invited to answer the question, "What does 'The Woman I Love' mean to you?" More than 10,000 responses followed, tweeted, of course, in 140 characters or less. The best of those submissions were then used to inspire the storyboarding and overall video concept. Users whose ideas are featured in "The Woman I Love" are credited by Twitter handle. Following the video's premiere last night, the hashtag #TheWomanILove trended Worldwide on Twitter. Check out the video below!
In honor of Valentine's Day, for the next two weeks, select DSPs are offering "The Woman I Love" as a specially-priced two-track single comprising both the song and music video. The track marks the latest single from the multi-GRAMMY Award-winning tunesmith's 2012 smash, "LOVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD," which proved to be Mraz's highest chart debut ever. What's more, "I Won't Give Up," the collection's premier hit single, has proven one of Mraz's most popular, with sales now surpassing 5 million worldwide.
Mraz who was recently voted "Favorite Male Artist" at the 39th annual People's Choice Awards has spent much of the past year on the road with his hugely successful "TOUR IS A FOUR LETTER WORD" global tour, which included stops last year at world-famous venues Madison Square Garden, London's O2 Arena, Hollywood Bowl and Red Rocks. Mraz will next head Down Under for a series of Australian tour dates and festivals to get underway in mid-March, including performances at the West Coast Blues & Roots Festival, Bluesfest, and the inaugural Deni Blues & Roots Festival. The trek follows the historic live concert Mraz gave late last year for over 70,000 people in Myanmar in conjunction with MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking), which was held at the Yangon People's Square at the base of the magnificent 2600-year-old Shwedagon Pagoda. For up-to-the-minute information, please see jasonmraz.com/tour.

Black Voters Feel Targeted By Election Restrictions
By Pam Fessler
Originally published on Thu May 31, 2012 4:33 am
New voter ID laws and other voting restrictions have been enacted in a number of states since the last major election. And that's raised special concerns among African Americans, who feel they're being targeted. Black church leaders and the Congressional Black Caucus met in Washington Wednesday to find ways African-American voters aren't discouraged from turning out in November.

Slow To Judge
In our current world we are constantly thrown information. We have TV, Radio, Internet 24/7 sharing with us the news and commentary about any given topic.
This is a luxury we have in our society, to quickly get all this information and to determine what's going on in the world.
The good news is that we are blessed by being able to know what's going on. The flip side is what we do with this information.
Suffice it to say when a news item comes to us, we have a tendency to quickly play judge and jury. We chastise the person or organization without closely examining the facts.
The 'stone throwing' commences without reflecting upon ourselves as well.
As a society, let alone as a Christian, it is our responsibility to hold each other accountable. But this doesn't mean casting stones on one another all the time.
We have to encourage one another to do what is right and just.
IF someone makes a mistake, we must forgive them. However, we shouldn't forget what they did either. We all have to learn from each other's mistakes as well.
I submit therefore that when something on the news comes to the screen - research the facts before casting judgement. The story is always bigger than what we are initially presented.
Please be slow to anger and quick to listen.
When have you been slow to anger and judgment? When haven't you been? Which situation has the more favorable outcome? Why do you think it's difficult to break the habit of judging others?

Enterprise Address & Maintenance System - Part 3: Why we released as Open Source
Posted on April 03, 2012 by Dennis Wuthrich
The Enterprise Addressing System is a complete master address repository, address creation & maintenance system, and address query & validation solution. In this three part series I try to describe the solution from both technical and usability perspectives.
- Part 1 of this series describes the context and motivation behind the Enterprise Addressing System (EAS).
- Part 2 discusses address maintenance workflows and the use of open standards.
- Part3 (this post) discusses why we developed the solution as Open Source.
Take it for a Test Drive
We built the Enterprise Address System (EAS) as an Open Source solution. This means you can access it and test it or fully implement it without any licensing costs. Once you've done the test drive and you confirmed that it does the essential things that you need it to do, then you can go ahead and begin customizing it as needed.
The Open Source approach also means that you aren't beholden to a single vendor's timeframe for updating it, augmenting it, customizing it.
A common analogy that I like is to imagine that you're thinking of buying a car. With proprietary software you are buying a car with the hood welded shut. You're forced to go to the car manufacturer for maintenance, parts, and improvements.
With the EAS Open Source solution you are buying a car where you can chose where to have your car serviced and maintained. You can even open the hood yourself and make modifications wherever you want. And since it is based on open standards, you aren't restricted to buying one kind of tire from a particular manufacturer. You can buy tires or any add-ons from any vendor you choose. On top of that, you can take the whole thing out for an extended test drive before you buy.
Low Risk for High Return
Analogies aside, the take away from the Open Source approach is that the EAS is a low risk, high return way of getting an authoritative solution implemented in your organization to manage a headache common to almost every city or county.

I never understood the whole White Winged Pinkie, is she the cut version that they were planning on using before Dash got wings? What would her name have been, Whitie?
- October 5, 2011 at 2:48 AM
- James Corck said...
Also, the Post-It event made international news here in Spain (yes, we don't have much news here) I now wish they covered it when Fluttershy showed up. Flying high X3

Cool beans that Spencers may carry pony gear. Rather have it there than Hot Topic any day.

@Navy Pheonix
Pinkie Pie was going to be named Surprise, and she was going to have wings. The pony that would've being wingless is Fluttershy.
In the end, they swapped it. I still don't know why though. - October 5, 2011 at 2:52 AM
- Mint Chip said...
French sounds nice, but the BG singers are hardly noticeable... kinda felt lacking for it.
- October 5, 2011 at 2:53 AM
- Jango-Fett said...
Well looks like the whole 'Brisbane Brony meet-up' thing won't be happening considering last nights comment got a whopping 2 replies.
I know it's not true, but sometimes it feels like I am the only brony in all of Australia. All my friends call me crazy because I watch the show and my attempts to 'show them the magic' were spat back in my face and laughed upon. *sigh* I'm so alone...
Great job on the roundup by the way:) - October 5, 2011 at 2:54 AM
- ActionScripter9109 said...
That Fluttershy window thing is awesome.
$4900 is insanity, even for a brony. - October 5, 2011 at 2:56 AM
- TerribleClerk said...
The pony discussion actually starts at 6:05. Pretty funny stuff.

Are you PONIES mad of MONEY!!!?
...wait....maybe they are... - October 5, 2011 at 3:00 AM
- K9saurus said...
why do I get the feeling that the only person who would pay almost 5K for a half decent life-sized plush is for some weird fetish thing?
- October 5, 2011 at 3:01 AM
- Delichon said...
The best thing about Surprise-concept is that Lauren Faust said, that in the initial pitch Surprise/Pinkie was supposed to enter hyperactive mode after eating lots of sweets, her wings starting to buzz like those of a hummingbird.
Now this is one animation I would really like to see.
Also, Surprise/Pinkie was supposed to fly around mostly upside down, just for lulz. - October 5, 2011 at 3:03 AM
- Xort said...
@James Corck
They swapped it because Equestria couldn't handle Pinkie with wings. - October 5, 2011 at 3:03 AM
- Stormy Seas said...
Cheer up, bro. I'm the only Brony I know of in Sasebo, Japan but there's always some good folks waiting to be found anywhere you go. They don't even have be one of the herd. I made a new friend just by taking the lessons about friendship and putting them into practice. Give your friends time; they may never warm up to the show but true friends will hang by you no matter how crazy they think you are. :) - October 5, 2011 at 3:04 AM
- Lavendire said...
4900 + 200 shipping.
5100 bucks they shelled out for a lifesized RD...
... Yeah I guarantee horrible things are going to happen to that plush. As soon as their delivery package is opened... ... and in 10 seconds flat. - October 5, 2011 at 3:04 AM
- David said...
@The Bird Family Agreed. Plus, they've managed to make Fluttershy even MORE adorable. I didn't think that was possible.
- October 5, 2011 at 3:08 AM
- Joey the Joey said...
I kinda wish Surprise was canon too. Twice the Pinkie power could have interestingly disastrous effects; who knows what could happen? =3
- October 5, 2011 at 3:09 AM
- James Corck said...
I knew it was either that, or for the safety of Rainbow Dash. And even without wings, Pinkie Pie finds her ways to cause Dashie massive heart attacks. Bell jump scare anypony? - October 5, 2011 at 3:10 AM
- 3ight8it said...
I agree. Not because hot topic is bad, but because it would become... um... popular among 12 year olds who think they have emotional troubles? Idk, just what I saw happen with everything sold there where I lived. - October 5, 2011 at 3:11 AM
- howezat said...
@Jango-Fett Oh damn, I didn't see it. I've been looking out for one too.
- October 5, 2011 at 3:12 AM
- Killsteal_Wolf said...
I hope that the Rainbow Dash has gone to a good owner. When you are willing to pay that much for it, I think it would be real sweet if it was like, Donated to a Hospital Children Ward or something. Would be nice to know who get, and how much he was willing to shell out for it, since I think he bidded more than $5000 initially. Someone was going to go for $10000 on it, although it was probably a troll and his one was retracted for unreliability.
Now then, when does the Life Size Fluttershy start getting sold? - October 5, 2011 at 3:14 AM
- Mike said...
One of these days, Sethisto should start a nightly roundup with a pic of the Futurama cast (ponified, of course), and the line "Good news, everyone!"
On another note, 50 mil soon! - October 5, 2011 at 3:15 AM
- Pinkie Pie said...
I can't tell you that, then it wouldn't be a surprise! - October 5, 2011 at 3:15 AM
- Mike said...
...actually, that sounds more like something cereal would do...

Oh I wish the Germans could dub stuff. Luckily I speak German and French, so I got to enjoy both of those (even if the German dubs make me disappoint :( )

- Stargazer said...
I was tracking the Rd plush for a bit. I don't want to know what they plan on doing with such a large plush either. ( unless they plan on it just sitting around the house )
I'm happy my cute fluttershy plush only went to 127 dollars lol.. - October 5, 2011 at 3:22 AM

Love French Rainbow Dash. French Pinkie... um.. yeah. >.>

A Brisbane brony meetup sounds pretty bloody good to me. So there's 5 right there.
Coincidentally, would anyone be able to tell me how to '@(person's name)' to link to an earlier comment? Much obliged. - October 5, 2011 at 3:50 AM
- Fallin' Winter said...
If I actually had 5000 dollars just sitting around I'd have bought it. It would have sat there and been huggable whenever necessary. When I had kids it would then become theirs because that thing is just asking to be given to a child (with reasonable care, $5000 merchandise and you'd be scared too)
- October 5, 2011 at 3:50 AM
- Chase said...
@Jango-Fett that sounds exactly like my own experience with my friends, and if Brisbane only had two replies I hate to think how many people would reply to an Adelaide call out...
- October 5, 2011 at 3:54 AM
- The Jack said...
As a norwegian, I am very very proud over the bronies in Oslo that made that Fluttershy post-it poster! I just wish we could do something similar here in Bergen xD
Also, bronies have way too much money. Just not me. *sadface* - October 5, 2011 at 3:59 AM
- Celestia said...
@Pinkie Pie
Stop confusing everypony.
On another note that plushie, I do hope it went to a good home. - October 5, 2011 at 3:59 AM
- Ran said...
I was watching the progress of the sale of that Dashie plushie, needless to say my jaw dropped a few times but nonetheless it's nice to know she's found a new home.

Oh man, there was a Brisbane Brony call up? I totally missed that...add another brony to the tally! I would totally love a meet-up in Brisbane. - October 5, 2011 at 4:04 AM

Nothing to do with anything, just need to say it:
OMG so close to 50mil hits x3 - October 5, 2011 at 4:15 AM
- D. Shadows said...
The 50 mil in the next two hours. Just saying what everyone else is.
- October 5, 2011 at 4:20 AM
- jrk08004 said...
@D. Shadows
It's only going to be about 10 more minutes. It seems that EQD gets about 15000 pageviews an hour - October 5, 2011 at 4:25 AM
- Clave said...
Yeah, it'll be faster than that...after all, everypony will be refreshing every 2 seconds to try and catch it. - October 5, 2011 at 4:34 AM
- Celestia said...
I attempted to printscreen the 50m, my laptop notorious for not working well stuttered, I managed 50 million and one.
- October 5, 2011 at 4:35 AM
- Takata said...
That's pretty much why I hope that merchandise will never end up there. Or at least in large quantities. I'm always open to new bronies and pegasisters but not meme spurting teens that just want to troll the public or be "different".
Not trying to sound like a pretentious hipster but look at what Hot Topic done to Invader Zim and Hello Kitty. - October 5, 2011 at 4:37 AM
- L4m3ness said...
French Pinkie Pie made me laugh. And the choir is so quiet that the song loses epicness :( And I'm even gonna start about the German Winter Wrap Up.. oh.. boy... messed up refrain!
Also: 550 bronies till 50 mio! - October 5, 2011 at 4:38 AM

Caught the 50mil in a screencap, already on Ponibooru.

@ChaseI know like 8 bronies in Adelaide. There's a lot of us everywhere; it all has to do with how well you advertise a meet-up.

50 millions... and I was there for the first...
Totally epic guys. Totally epic. I can't believe we've come this far, and there's so much more to come.
To all my fellow bronies, may the friendship endure forever. - October 5, 2011 at 4:48 AM

I was watching the ROFLCON clip... Gotta say, I'm starting to get pretty annoyed about people attributing the Powerpuff Girls (and Foster's) solely to Lauren Faust. Craig McCracken is the genius behind these shows, and deserves his props. So, as much as I love Lauren's work, I think it's important to attribute credit where it's due....

After contemplation, I realized it took about 2 and a half weeks to go from 40 million to 50 million. That means that by the time the Luna episode airs, it will reach 60. And if page hits keep going at the same rate (which I doubt. If anything, it's just keep accelerating) then 100 million will be hit by New Years. I'm going to guess that it will be sooner than that and 100 will be hit around the first or second week of December.

It looks like if you know how to sew and you had patterns, you'd be making bank creating all of these plushies.
Or if you knew how to sew, you'd at the very least create the entire cast of MLP and put it in the same room for the lulz. Just like the poster. - October 5, 2011 at 5:33 AM

yay, 50 mill views. That's awesome.
About the plushie... I'm thinking people are worried for no reason. There's no reason to assume anything untoward is going to happen to dashie.
However... 5000 dollars could have paid for me to get my teeth fixed and finally get my tonsils out.

Ah finally ... well I've prepared a transcript and re-translation for everyone who's interested.
RD: Die Winterferien waren, sehr schön und unbeschwert.
PP: Wir spielten und wir hielten unsere Hufen warm am Herd.
AJ: Doch die Vorräte sind aufgebraucht in der kalten Jahreszeit
Ra: Auch wenn die Stiefel hübsch sind, bin ich sie nun langsam leid
Twi: Der Frühling steht schon vor der Tür und die Natur erwacht, doch der Winterabschied bringt es mit, das man groß Reine macht. Wie mach ich mit, was kann ich tun ? Helfen möchte ich spontan. Schaff ich es ohne meinen Zauber ? Ich habe keinen Plan.
Chorus: Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, den Winter verabschieden wir ! Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, morgen ist der Frühling hier, morgen ist der Frühling hier !
RD: Pegasus geführt kommt nun die Zugvögelschar zurück. Die Winterwolken räumen wir beiseite Stück für Stück. Den Himmel fegen wir, das geht nur vereint ! Endlich kommt die Sonne durch, wie herrlich sie scheint !
Chorus: Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, den Winter verabschieden wir ! Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, morgen ist der Frühling hier, morgen ist der Frühling hier !
Ra: Manche halten Winterschlaf, tief unter Schnee und Eis.
FS: Wir wecken jeden der verschläft, behutsam, sanft und leis.
Ra: Bei der Verpflegung helfen wir, und beim Putzen auch !
FS: Wir sagen Zugvögeln "Hallo", das ist guter alter Brauch !
Chorus: Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, den Winter verabschieden wir ! Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, morgen ist der Frühling hier, morgen ist der Frühling hier ! Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, morgen ist der Frühling hier, morgen ist der Frühling hier !
AJ: Der Boden ist noch ziemlich hart, doch die Saat muss rein. Mit guter Pflege und Sonne wird sie schon gedeihen, Äpfel, Möhren, Blumensaat pflanzen wir alle nun. Diese Arbeit ist sehr hart, es gibt soviel zu tun !
Chorus: Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, den Winter verabschieden wir ! Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, morgen ist der Frühling hier, morgen ist der Frühling hier !
Twi: Nun weiß ich was sie alle tun ... gern wär ich auch dabei. Ich helfe mit und scheue mich vor keiner Schufterei. Wie klappt es ohne meine Zauber, wie stell ich es nur an ? Gehör ich dazu dann geb ich, alles was ich kann, alles was ich kann !
Chorus: Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, den Winter verabschieden wir ! Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, morgen ist der Frühling hier !
Winter ade Tag, Winter ade Tag, morgen ist der Frühling hier, morgen ist der Frühling hier, morgen ist der Frühling hier~ !

RD: The winter vacations were nice and light-hearted.
PP: We played and kept our hooves warm at the stove.
AJ: But the supplies are depleted in this cold season.
Ra: And even though my boots are pretty, I'm fed up with them now.
Twi: The spring is on the door step and nature awakes, but the winter farewell has it that you make great cleanliness. How can I join, what can I do ? I want to help spontaneous. Can I do it without my magic ? I don't have a clue.
Chorus: Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, we see the winter off ! Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, tomorrow spring is here, tomorrow spring is here !
RD: Pegasus-guided the flock of migrating birds come back. We clear away the winterclouds piece by piece. We sweep across the sky, that's only possible together ! Finally the sun breaks through, how wonderful she shines !
Chorus: Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, we see the winter off ! Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, tomorrow spring is here, tomorrow spring is here !
Ra: Some do hibernation, deep under snow and ice.
FS: We wake up all who oversleeps, cautious, gentle and quiet.
Ra: We help with their food and cleaning up !
FS : We say "hello" to the migrating birds, that's a good old tradition.
Chorus: Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, we see the winter off ! Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, tomorrow spring is here, tomorrow spring is here ! Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, tomorrow spring is here, tomorrow spring is here !
AJ: The earth is still hard, but the seeds must be planted. With good care and sunshine they prosper eventually, apples, carrots, flowerseeds, all that we plant now. This work is pretty hard, there's so much to do !
Chorus: Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, we see the winter off ! Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, tomorrow spring is here, tomorrow spring is here !
Twi: Now I know what they all do ... I would gladly join. I will help and not shy away from hard work. How can I do it without my magic, how can I succeed ? If I belong I will give all I can, I will give all I can, I will give all I can !
Chorus: Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, we see the winter off ! Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, tomorrow spring is here ! Winter goodbye day, winter goodbye day, tomorrow spring is here, tomorrow spring is here , tomorrow spring is here ! - October 5, 2011 at 6:27 AM

Oooh, looks like Pinkie is going to get the surprise on Surprise. :P
That Fluttershy poster in the skyscraper is awesome! If I worked in a huge office building, I'd so do that too. And post-it notes. Oh what fun you can have with post-it notes. :)
It'd be awesome if Spencer started carrying pony merchandise. I relate them somewhat to Hot Topic, who already do so of course. So it's not a huge stretch that Spencer would consider pony stuff as well. I'm sure they also know of the large following and the potential for profit from it.
The ROFLCON was certainly entertaining to watch. Moot seems to be growing his hair out, eh. lol I think he looked better with his short hair honestly. But anyway. They didn't bash ponies quite as bad as I thought they would. Also, everyone seems so dressed up, besides Moot. Who is just wearing a normal t-shirt. lol
The Dash plushie sold for $4,900.. plus shipping... holy crap. Simply... holy crap. That is INSANE. I am.. well, obviously not speechless, but dang. :P I too worry about poor Dashie's fate. Nah, I'm kidding. I'm sure the buyer just wanted a huge Dash plushie... I hope. I'll say it again though: Some Bronies have WAY too much pony spending money. lol

As a German AND a singer who did a fan-dub of that song once with-self-made lyrics, I can say without trying to sound like a dick that these lyrics are unbelievable poor. Uncreative, Unimaginative, they don't even make sense! It was hard enough for me to bear with the German voice-actors already (they also didn't use any effort here, a lotta them JUST SOUND THE SAME and not like actors AT ALL), but for everyone who still had some hope for this abomination of a dub, they should be crushed by now. Wonderful way to show how to NOT dub a cartoon, fillies and gentlecolts! *clap clap clap* - October 5, 2011 at 11:58 AM

Chicago (20-0-3) is six games from tying Philadelphia's NHL-record 35-game point streak, set in the middle of the 1979-80 season. Montreal's 1977-78 Stanley Cup champions went 28 games without a loss during that regular season. The Blackhawks' streak is the only lengthy one that carries over two seasons.
Bickell's goals were the second and third of a four-goal splurge, achieved on six shots, all of them at even strength. Backstrom, the innocent victim, had been 6-1-1 in his previous eight games, allowing no more than two goals in any of those contests.
Brandon Saad's backhand rebound score at 13:02 of the first tied the game 1-1, erasing the Minnesota lead earned by Devin Setoguchi about five minutes earlier.
Bickell's first goal came 44 seconds later, a rebound of Viktor Stalberg's shot that deflected off Backstrom's left shoulder and landed at Bickell's feet in the right crease.
His second goal also came from the slot. This time, he roofed a wrist shot in traffic to beat Backstrom cleanly with 2:48 left in the period. Saad assisted on that goal and Hossa's.
"He had a good period there with a goal and two assists," Bickell said of Saad. "We call him 'Man-Child' for a reason."
The Wild's Ryan Suter and Kyle Brodziak scored third-period goals to force the Hawks, who have made a habit of it, to return to airtight defense in the final minutes, much as they held Minnesota to four second-period shots. The Hawks' Patrick Kane added an insurance goal with 8:27 left in the third.
"Sometimes we get a little loose when we get a lead," said Hawks coach Joel Quenneville, who has to search for imperfection on his squad. "But it certainly was a great start."
Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford (11-0-3) made 20 saves, including a difficult one on Mike Rupp's slot backhand with 6:20 remaining.
Minnesota (11-9-2) has lost two of its last three.

This story originally ran on TheSunBreak in January. Following Thursday's amazing and awful collapse of I-5 over the Skagit River, it seems worthy of sharing here on CHS.
The Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle is famous as the elevated roadway that drivers are most likely to hold their breath while crossing.
But the city's department of transportation has just released a report on their bridge maintenance program (pdf) that explains why drivers may be likely to shake a tooth loose crossing other bridges in town.
As PubliCola notes: "nearly one in three city bridges are in such disrepair that they're candidates for replacement."
The report covers the good, bad, and the ugly in Seattle bridges, but it's worth emphasizing that not all of Seattle's bridges are bad news. Some 35% of Seattle bridges are rated at 80 or higher on the 100-point bride sufficiency scale.
