The best grocery store on the planet.
Posted on 11 / 24 / 2012This grocery store has the, hands-down, best bulk department outside of a village mart in the north of India.
This is a must for any vegan, vegetarian and/or Indian out of towner.
This grocery store has the, hands-down, best bulk department outside of a village mart in the north of India.
This is a must for any vegan, vegetarian and/or Indian out of towner.
I had read about this place on happycow and have been to their previous, smaller location some years ago. Decided to stop in on my last San Francisco trip a few months back. Here's my Rainbow Grocery review.
It's is housed in a huge warehouse space. No fancy lighting like Whole Food Market, but the selections are even more extensive and incredible. And everything is vegetarian (or vegan)!
It took me a long time to go up and down the isles, marveled at the range of selections. I ended up buying a whole bag full of yummies and treats.
Be ready to bag your own grocery.
Pros: huge selections, all veg, good pricesreviews
This is my favorite natural foods store in the *world*, such that for some items I wait until a family visit to the Bay Area to stock up at Rainbow Grocery (no kidding). The vitamins section was helpful with custom orders during my father's fight with cancer - they have everything and will do discounted bulk orders for you. Their household goods section is dangerous (you'll buy more than you need because everything is so cool) - natural cleaners, carved wooden spoons, beeswax candles, natural cleaning brushes, recycled glass coasters, recycled paper notepads. The produce selection is impressive, especially considering Rainbow's policy to take produce that other stores reject because they're not aesthetically pleasing (what a waste!). The cosmetics section is a dream (I second the Gabrielle/ZuZu Luxe supply shout out, as well as the "great wall" of non-toxic shampoo and conditioner options). They have numerous organic and biodynamic wines. They carry traditional Indonesian tempe (i.e. nothing but soy)! I've been avoiding mention of the bulk section. Anything I say here will be insufficient. It. Is. Amazing. The supply of reusable containers is the best I've ever seen (e.g. cotton bags for bulk foods, plastic and glass containers for toiletries and food, and more). And do you like/eat cheese? Look no further.
Other reviews cover most of the other wonderful things about this cooperative, but I really like supporting this business. Further, I really *like* paying the sometimes higher prices to support this sustainable business - Trader Schmoe's and Costco are anything but sustainable. The people I know who work there (i.e. the owners) love it. There should be more businesses like this - great for the employees, the customers, society at large, and the world.
Pros: Variety, Sustainable, LocalThis is probably the only place I've seen everything from garbanzo bean flour to tofu to peanut butter to olive oil in bulk. Talk about reducing packaging.
They also have just about every "health" food you could ever want. Great produce as well but with the farmer's markets in the area you hardly need it.
Probably the best grocery store in the world, and all vegetarian from what I'm told.
Pros: has everything, good prices, bulk sectionreviews
Rainbow Grocery is great! They have everything! From bakery section where most of it is vegan, to cards. I have never found my makeup (ZuZu Luxe) in any store but here.
Pros: great selection, fully stocked, neat and cleanThis is the best Co-op on the face of the planet, period. No meat in the store anywhere. It is a Vegan oasis! It's as big as a supermarket filled with organic food and other products, huge bulk bins, cool pierced/tattooed workers, great environmentally conscience customers, many who are Vegan. I feel clean shopping here, which I go at least twice a week. THANK GOODNESS FOR RAINBOW GROCERY! Another of the many reasons I love living in San Francisco. It only gets a 4 for still having dairy. B-)
Pros: No Meat, Organic, Huge Vegan SelectionWow, I can't tell you how impressed I was with this place. Yes, it is chaotic with massively long check out lines at time, but guess why? They have EVERYTHING! Even in LA I have to visit 3 different grocery stores to accomplish my shopping, but Rainbow somehow manages to carry vast product lines of just about everything natural organic vegan you can imagine!
I checked this place out on my last trip to San Francisco and was pretty amazed by this place. There we so many vegan items in all of the aisles to choose from and a HUGE bulk section that I would definetely utilize if I lived in SF. Part of my reason for going to Rainbow (besides to check it out) was to purchase some items to eat on my trip home the next day. I needed to buy a lunch and dinner from the pre-pacakged food section and I was literally standing in this one corner of the store for at least a half an hour before I finally decided what I was going to get. There were so many choices and I was also trying to balance it out - like "well i can't get that because this item i am getting for my lunch has rice in it and these grains are almost like rice." I also got a sandwhich which I ate later that day for dinner. I couldn't believe how many companies choices they had for me to choose from. Aunt Nettie's hummus was awesome! Definetly get some if you go to Rainbow. There were also lots of vegan dessert options in the aisles too... so tempting... it was hard to decide which one to get. I ended up getting two Coconut Bars imported from Japan ... amazing... and some local guys vegan choc chip cookies (Cal Moon Bakery... not very good.. tasted too healthy). They had reasonable prices for products like Seventh Generation tissues, and bulk teas. I will definetly shop here again if given the chance on my next trip to SF.
Pros: huge, lots of vegan selectionsI LOVE Rainbow Grocery. I wish there was a grocery store like this in EVERY city.
While living in San Francisco, it got to the point where I would only shop there (sans produce, of course).
It's the vegan/vegetarian mecca. The bulk foods section is second to NONE. The prices are MORE than reasonable (a dollar LESS for komboucha than anywhere else).
Pros: Price, Bike Parking, Co-Op

Scavenging for Toothpaste, Diapers and Bad Tattoos
On Saturday, December 4th, 1,250 costumed do-gooders descended on Dodger Stadium to take part in the annual city-wide LA Scavenger Hunt. Upon registration each of the 300 teams was given a list of 100 scavenger items and tasks to perform, forty of which raised material goods for the LA Food Bank and Union Rescue Mission, and another 60 of which were purely ridiculous.
In addition to getting the word out on this grass roots charity donation drive, Incase again helped underwrite the scavenger hunt's production costs and supplied tote bags to the participants and 25 backpacks to the winning teams. In all, the scavenger hunt raised more than $100,000.00 in much-needed material goods in time for the holidays.
To Sean Carlson and Phil Hoelting at FYF Productions, and to all of the scavenger hunt participants—we thank you for time, energy, and enthusiasm on this one. The scavenger hunt is an enormously fun and productive community event. We feel honored to have had a hand in it. We'll see you again next year.

Kickoff For Cancer
By: Kadie Crowell
Updated: September 13, 2012
The Ashford High School Yellow Jackets and the Alabama Christian Academy Eagles will go head to head Friday night, but for the past several months they've been teaming up for the same cause.
The two schools have been collecting money and "painting the town pink" in preparation for Friday night's third annual "Pink Out Game."
Just like any football game there will still be a competitive atmosphere on the field, but with this game the stadium will be covered in pink as the entire community fights for cancer awareness.
Ashford High School raised $1300 last year and they are hoping to reach a goal of $2000 this year; they will donate the money to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and Hannah's Gifts of Hope.
While many football players are focused on winning Friday night, they say by raising money for cancer awareness they've already achieved a victory.

Physical Traits: Carolina Chickadee is identified with its black cap and throat. It's often confused with the Black-capped Chickadee. The Carolina Chickadee has white edges on its wing feathers and a rougher bib. It has four notes in its sound "Fee bee fee bay"
Habitat: It nests in holes of dead trees. They are in woodlands and wooded suburbs. They often hang from branches to feed on insects, seeds and berries.
Recommended Feeder: Lyric Chickadee Feeder
Feeder Tips: Chickadees are sure-footed and need no perches. The Lyric Chickadee feeder allows the bird to cling to the rough cedar wood while maneuvering seed from the holes. Hang your Chickadee feeder in or near a tree, and always use a squirrel guard, because sunflower seeds and nuts are squirrels' favorites, too.

Microsoft cannot force people to shift to Windows 8. The adoption curve will be driven by the users and not by the OS manufacturer. One thing that I have seen is that people initially wait for stable releases of Windows before jumping onto the upgration wagon.
People are not prone to changes and therefore they complain about the changes to the Facebook interface initially. Later, they are comfortable using the new offerings.
Similarly, Microsoft as an OS provider has to get out newer versions. Apart from the visible performance difference there has to be some noticeable difference in the UI too.
I also think they will keep offering Win7 a little longer. Since, adoption rate to Win8 is relatively slower for companies it seems to be a good strategy to offer the older version.
@ taimur_tz
I think that if MS made everyone upgrade to 8 that would be a huge mistake. You can't force people to upgrade. Luckily they understand that. The one thing I try not to do is impact users efficiency in a negative way. Throwing windows 8 when they are not ready for it is not a good move.
We get computers from Dell and if past history is any indication they will keep the option for Win7 for little while on the business side. They kept XP available throughout the whole Vista debacle.
We are not rolling out Windows 8 just yet. Some of the users just goy Win 7 this past year. 8 would be to much of a change right now. 7 is working very well and is stable. When it is time to start I am counting on some users having exposure to it through their home systems. That along with the right user training will go a long way when we start rolling it out. But for right now we are sticking with 7.
@Usman Ejaz, so does it seem that Windows 8 has a performance increase as opposed to 7? Do you do a lot of gaming or anyting that would require that ATI to really kick in?
What it really seems like, to me at least, is that Microsoft is copycatting Apple's design where everything is simplistic and you shouldn't have to go digging to find what you need. It's a neat layout, don't get me wrong, but just not something I as an IT pro, will move to anytime soon.
You know why Windows was a successful operating system?
Because it wasn't an "operating system". An operating system is a way to share the load across a common machine. But if you have a "personal computer" than you don't need to share...it's all yours!
Windows was not an OS. It was an application loader first and foremost. Microsoft understood that for most people, their PC would be like a TV where each year there would be new "shows" that they would want to run. Their job was to be small and stable enough to allow each new generation of apps to run and not get in the way. For many years things like "Multitasking" and "Inter operatbility" were things that IT geeks railed about, but few cared. I didn't need to have Excel talk to Yahoo in real time.
Android and iPhone kind of went down that same road. They provide a light weight way for people to build and run apps. It doesn't matter if they all "speak the same protocol". Each app is a "show" with its own needs and nuances. And if the programmers are smart enough, they'll figure out how to build all the services and socket servers they need for the really jazzy stuff.
So, after that what's left? If your job is to launch apps and get out of the way, then keep it simple and at the same time, snazz it up so that people buy the upgrade. What do I know. I'm still running XP on my "home media center" because I'm afraid of what an upgrade with do my Call of Duty performance (I basically built my own XBox and use a Logitech wireless gaming controller that looks Microsofts') or to running Netflix.
All I ever needed...was an application loader.
@hounhosp: I think Microsoft can learn from Facebook on how to handle interface changes. Every now and then Facebook comes with an erratic (and often annoying) change in its interface and people start crying. However, it's only a while before they get used to it and in fact start liking it.
@KiranIE: Don't you think it would have been a good idea if they had allowed the user to remove the start button if they wanted to? People who still wanted to keep would have stuck to it while those looking for a new interface would have turned it off. This seems like a win-win situation catering to all types of users.

Lewis played at least as well as Taylor last season. Taylor for the for the first time in his career looked a step slower, got burnt, and looked very average at times. If and that is a big if, Taylor is still better than Lewis...the next question is for how much longer?
The Steelers could trade Ben, Pouncey, Troy, and Timmons and Slap here would agree with it.
I agree that keeping the developed talent and letting Ike walk would have been the preferred avenue; actually, the preferred avenue (but, not fiscally possible) would have been to keep Ike, Lewis and Allen. However, I have to disagree with the assessment of Taylor. He played poorly early in the season, but around the 5th game or so he was back to his old self until he was injured. No one was getting behind any of our Cbs on a consistent basis and the defense was playing well even without a superior pass rush, so, the corners were doing their jobs very well.
Ike is a workout warrior and I have no doubt he'll arrive in camp ready to go when it all gets started again.
1.17 - Jarvis Jones, OLB
2.48 - Le'Veon Bell, RB
3.79 - Marcus Wheaton, WR
4.111 - Shamarko Thomas, S
4.115 - Landry Jones, QB
5.150 - Terry Hawthorne, CB
6.186 - Justin Brown, WR
6.206 - Vince Williams, ILB
7.223 - Nick Williams, DT
If Lewis isn't as good as Allen why was Lewis starting over him?
He they made a mistake, or LeBeau is senile.
Take your pick.

12 Best Government Websites
Easy access to government online has gone from being nice-to-have to being necessary in the "open government" era, with many government websites taking advantage of modern designs and technologies to help do the trick. All too often, local, state and federal governments and government agencies do far too little to reach out to citizens on the web. Many governments and agencies are stuck in the 1990s era of tacky animated images, an over-abundance of white space, and confusing arrays of links. However, there are also plenty of agencies that stick out, with designs nearly or every bit as modern and enticing as one might expect from top corporations and Web 2.0 companies. These are some of the best.

The Male member
1. | tusk | ||
Prison slang for the active-partner in anal-intercourse "yeah, you are new so you gonna take the lower bed, and guess who's gonna be a tusk in this relationship? Ain't gonna be you!!! hehehehe now bend over, sweetheart...
2. | tusk | ||
1979 song composed by Fleetwood Mac and the Trojan Marching Band. Today, the band plays "Tusk" at almost every single event. The song has become an unofficial fight song of USC, because the students sing "UCLA sucks!" during the refrain.
Partial lyrics are as follows: Why don't you tell me what's going on? Why don't you tell me who is on the phone? TUSK!!! Real savage-like bitch! UCLA SUCKS!!! We wanted to play "Tusk" for the student section, but Tony Fox was being an asshole so we couldn't.
4. | Tusk | ||
An adjective that implies complete, brutal, and utter AWEsomeness. The word pulls its beastliness from the first animal who woke up one day and realized it had tusks. Looking down at the newfound tusks, it felt the feeling that only the word Tusk can describe. Dude, the way you macked on that girl was totally Tusk! - or simply - TUSK!!!!
5. | Tusk | ||
In Poland a politician is called Tusk. Donald Tusk. He is the biggest looser in President Elections in 2005. Za chwile do gabinetu owalnego wkroczy Tusk. (In a moment into the rounded office will enter Tusk) - it would be quite funny if used during a meeting of mr Tusk with president Bush when we would use the first definition, but not for president Bush
6. | Tusk | ||
When an awkward situation arises in conversation, it is also known as a "tusk". This usage was first coined in spring 2009, by a singular gentleman, whom we will call (in the interest of anonymity) Wendel Wordtyper. He was having lunch with some of his chums: Tyrion Portugal, Cross Wildcard, and Liam. The conversation turned to family matters. The three talked about their fathers, relaying various anecdotes about their experiences. After a few of these stories, Wendel quietly uttered, "I never knew my parents. I'm adopted.", drawing a stunned silence from his compatriots which seemed to go on for too long. Showing no sign of noticing the reactions of the other gentlemen, Wendel then took a stick of celery from his plate and put it under his upper lip and said, "It's a tusk! And so, the term was born. Since then, when an awkward situation arose in conversation, a tusk was formed. The simplest method involves taking the hand, bending the middle three fingers, so that only the pinky and the thumb remain erect. Then one places the thumb against the corner of the mouth on the same side of the face. This is the simplest of tusks.
Further adjustments and additions can then be made to this tusk. Inanimate objects of myriad size, shape, and number can be added to the end of the tusk, creating a bigger and bigger tusk, illustrating, via physical metaphor just how big a tusk that moment was. This public bulletin was brought to you by the Bureau Utilizing Tusk Telecommunication Sciences |

A code word used to warn the receiver of an e-mail to be careful when opening because it contains material of an adult/ offensive nature. The word is placed at the end of the subject line. Cheers for that Tusk e-mail mate - there were some right dirty bitches in the attachment!

My Josie sometimes resource guards me. (FWIW, I refer to it as human possessiveness.) For Josie, its always with another dog; never a person. It might not work for others but what works for us is when she growls and snaps at another dog for coming up to me, I tell her Aht! Mine! and I step in front of her. She backs off and accepts the dog getting petted from me. I know it might sound weird but teaching my dogs what Mine means has come in handy in other areas too.
My friend does the same thing with her dog too. I believe she got it out of a book from the Dog whisper, understanding the pack behavior and she has been very successful with her training.
Just like raising children we are are going to see different training styles.
With the chicken bone I think its important to get it away fast, not search for a special treat, because then she thinks stealing trash is good and then she gets a better treat.
Oh thanks to whoever said give a better treat when resource guarding with water dish, I tried that with my cats. They got string cheese and instead of Molly going after the cat's treat I gave her a better treat. Told her to leave the cats, when she made eye contact - she got her treat.
So the better treat has good value, and I thank you for the tip

IW and Activision quit with the nerf/buff BS!!!!!!!
Like (6)
Thats whats going to ruin your games. If you put a game out and people dont like it then so be it. Of course some people are going to be dissatisfied. But when you go and start to change all kinds of BS your going to mess things up for your loyal fan base that likes your game. I know no one will read this but I hope its get thru to someone.
People will read it. It's not a stupid topic. I do, however, see nerfs and buffs as an important part of the evolution of a game's fairness. When they release the game, there are inevitably going to be flaws which need corrected, like say, a specific gun more powerful then they anticipated. In those situations, they fix it to correct the problem, which then creates ripple effects across the whole game.
Long story short, they didn't release a perfect product, they wouldn't pretend to have done so. They dont just look at the community comments to determine what needs nerfed and buffed, it's deeper then that.
Since it does seem they use the first few weeks after realease as a Beta, then I agree. I disagree with changes this late in the game. The people who like the game have adapted and know the guns they like in and out. To change a gun now is goin to mess someone up, even if its a buff. And its hard to say how it will effect the game in other ways.
Good points all around.
Even people who are totally against a certain gun have had time to come up with a game plan against it by now.
they "fix" weapons issues, but they can't fix the lag problems... IW doesn't have their priorities in the right order.
I wish I could "like" this 10000 times.
This has been discussed b4 many of times. I hate that they keep changing the weapons around. I do want them to fix errors though like shotguns having more pellets than they should and being able to put damage on an AR.
Quit it already with the Buff/Nerf
you can put damage on an AR?
I totally agree with you electricfire. And it sucks to think that no one from IW will read this... but its the truth...
There are still blatant balance problems that need to be adressed. There are entire weapon classes that are outgunned in all situations by others. And some other weapons are so poor compared to others in the same class that the bad weapons wight as well not exist. It is obvious that things need to changed to promote weapon diversity and fairness between and within classes.
One of the main goals of mw3 was balanced weapons. Robert Bowling was pushing progressive and constant weapon balance. That is part of the reason for the hotfix system. Changes to weapons take very little time and can be implemented with almost no overhead. When a clear imbalance arises there will be rebalances to even out performance.
I am positive that poor netcode does more damage to mw3 than actively trying to make the game better through weapon and perk balance.
Nerfs and buffs are pretty much needed for me to play the game at this point. I'm tried of using the ACR. I look at the weapon list and all I see is weapons that I been using everyday since november or a weapon I know is inferior to others and has no point of using it. To me nerfing and buffing is almost like adding new weapons into the game.
This post is dumber then those" I hate Infinity Ward" post.
So buffing a few of the shotguns & LMG's & nerfing the effectiveness of the Akimbo FMG 9's was a big mistake?
I don't get how it "ruins" the game. The LMG buff certainly improved and encouraged more playability with using them. I know the USAS-12 gets used alot more than it was before the shotgun patch.
Dead Man's Nuke is getting a nerf soon, how glad am I to see the range of Dead Man's Nuke reduced so it doesn't kill me from a considerable range.
Are you going to tell me a gamebreaking element of MW2 like One Man Army, Danger Close spam of grenade launchers didn't require a nerf? (if say the devs decided to go back & fix some of the issues from previous COD titles of course).
I welcome changes to a couple of the weapons. It's not like it's going to negatively impact you.
they "fix" weapons issues, but they can't fix the lag problems... IW doesn't have their priorities in the right order.
Lag & matchmaking problems is more difficult than balancing a couple of the weapons.
Weapons in general can be improved by changing a few values in the code.
And by the way, there have a numerous number of connectivity title updates & hofixes since the game launched. I support lag & matchmaking fixes first but to state that "IW don't have their priorities in the right order" is ignorant.
You and brick are the only ones on this thread that seem to have a brain.
I rather enjoyed when they nerfed the akimbo FMG's....and buffed the LMG's and shottys, hell i damn near had a orgasim when they fixed the M16....wait...that was just a dream wasnt it....
LOL they never even buffed the shotguns the first time. The usas and ksg are the same at max level now as they were pre "buff" they were simply made them easier to level by making the emags glitch standard. The spas lost almost 90 points of damage up close and gained 70 at range. The net effect of the "buff" on the spas was making it actually balanced at range (the spas performs as expected at range) but it is now weak up close and requires a degree of accuracy that is very high compared to other primaries at all ranges. This is the same with all pump shotguns. The aa12 and 1887 are untouched since launch day. They strait up lied to us about the shotgun "buff".
The akimbo nerf is okay.
Lmg buff made all the lmgs besides L86 and m60 worthless.
I would love to see an m16 buff.
Maybe these weapons just arent for you guys. There are weapons some people like and some people dislike. And that dont mean your bad at the game. I dont like the MP7 and everyone else does. Im in the top 200,000 thousand in total kills rank and I dont have anywhere near 2500 kills with all the guns i like. I have 0 1000 headshots titles. And im finding I like new guns all the time. Im just now even getting to the PP90. I been messing with the AK47 too. If you dont like a gun at this point in the game you have to realize there are thousands that do like that gun and want it to stay just the way it is.
They alreeady made the LMG's better, nerfed akimbos, buffed how many pellets shottys have, nerfed and buffed whatever else. And they did it within a somewhat reasonable time frame after release. Some of it prolly was needed. Right now it seems pretty balanced to me. An adaptable player can use any gun on the game and not be at a disadvntage. Its been awhile since they did anything and we should all be well adapted to the game and what guns do what.
But does it hurt improving some of the weapons in the game?
If the devs are happy to discuss other improvements to weapons whether it'll be the shotguns or the M16, I'm fine with that.
I worked hard to level up Model 1887 to Damage and the hitmarkers I get at close range frustrates me. Despite the b.s. I had to go through just to get Damage for 28 levels, I don't think I'm being rewarded for it with consistant one-hit kills at close range.
It's not that the weapon is not for me. It's not my connection considering I am hosting (and in theory the host is the player with the best connection). I'm 100% sure I'm using the correct perks & proficiency to make good use of the weapon
The weapon itself has an issue, not me if the weapon designed for CQC is not giving me a full kill at blank range rather than hitmarkers.
Believe me, I'm using the shotgun correctly.
If the buff it then you will potentially have to deal with everyone and thier moms using the gun effectively despite the fact they gave up on it in the ffirst place. I love shottys and it does kinda bother to have that dude who runs his mouth in a game saying things like "oh put the shotty away, dont make me pull out my shotty" and then he doesnt because he gave up on shottys a long time ago. Well now this dude will pull out a shotty and procede to be able to get kills with it. Has of now there is pride in using shottys, if they buff them there wont be even if the buff is insignificant. Everyone will now automatically think they are overpowered just because they were buffed.
Buffed to consistant one hit kills at close range.....how is that considered OP by the community?
It's a shotgun, it's suppose to be deadly at close range.
To be honest, I really wouldn't care if I got killed by more players using Model 1887's or AA-12's. A majority of these shotguns are barely used as it is. Wouldn't mind seeing some weapon variety for once instead of being killed by the same-old weapons.
You still have to level the pumps to get damage. Pre damage these weapons would still suck terribly. Also almost no one in mw2 was using the shotguns as their primary weapon. I remember the times people tried to pull out the spas after I did. It never ended well.
Do you care weather people respect you in a video game? I would rather have fun. And having shotguns be as bad as they are is not fun.
These weapons need to be balanced. I do not care about the preconceptions that people have towards the shotguns. We want what is fair and what we deserve.
They only made the emags glitch standard on the ksg and usas. This basicly just made them easier to level since the emags made them the same strength pre patch at max level as they are now at max level. The spas lost a ton of damage up close and gained damage at range. This made the spas unreliable up close but balanced at range. The 1887 and aa12 are untouched since launch day. They have blatantly lied to us about buffing shotguns.
The shotgun buff was 3 months after release. That is not a reasonable time frame.
Use the aa12 and try to say that adaptable player crap with a strait face.

This is just awesome. The animators in this fandom never cease to amaze. Also Trollestia is bestia.
Just go watch it.
@Darkeon Warlord
You aree the reason father invented foal cannon.
And the reason I bought one.
You like bannanas right?
Bwahahaha! This was both fantastically animated AND hilarious! Love it! <3
...i should probably go back to work too <.<
I like you even less now.
My feelings for you are between passive and discomfort
That reminds me. I gotta get to work too...
OH sorry, blacked out a little from the awesome. Hopefully I didn't do anything crazy like the last time I--Police at the door, hold on.
This animation was done spectacularly. Trollestia can be so cruel sometimes. Reminding Luna of her painful banishment in a video game? Now that's low.
That was amazing! Funny! Other words meaning excellent!
Trollestia is bestia? Heh. I started that, iirc. Celestia is bestia. Even if I didn't start it, I sure as hell didn't get it from anywhere else.
Video's pretty good too.
That was great. Top notch animation and funny story.
Is gamer Luna fancanon now? First she plays supermario now this.
@Shadow Heart
> taking fanmade animation as seriously as the show
There is always a line that needs to be drawn. But you already passed that line of sanity.
Tell me about it. I love fan-made material as much as the next brony but it's still fan-made...
Wow, you are a genius for figuring out something I announce on almost a daily basis.
Have a cookie.
lol suxs when you have hooves to play a controller game
OMG that was funny! TO THE MOOON!!!
Now get back to work ... LOL
I was hoping that Luna would explode into the super-alicorn look she had during Nightmare Night. Still doesn't diminish the awesome here.
And Celestia was playing with the solo Wiimote... she really is a troll. XP
I've had enough nightmarish matches in online fighters.
That's just mean, Tia!
That was fucking awesome, the animation was top notch, great job!
It's too bad pegasi and earth ponies will never know the joy of video games. At least not the ones with more than two buttons.
Wondering what the results of a poll asking whether this applied to every pony would be...
Probably a pretty large portion.
Sharp, colorful, on model characters, smooth fluid animation, and very funny. The whole video was a delight.
*Incoming rant*
Also, Luna you no good Shoto scrub, how about picking a character that isn't in like, in every Street Fighter and Versus game. Bring some fresh blood to the mix and maybe your sister won't kick your flank so bad next time.
(No hate here just good natured trash talk from long time player.)
Two buttons and a directional pad are all you need.
In all seriousness, arcade cabinets must be huge in Equestria.
I like to think that her mane turns starry at night and becomes normal during the day. It is daytime during the animation.
We salute you General Work Day! Also this is the best thing ever. Of all time. The animation is flawless, the facial expressions are spot on, the sound effects are awesome and so many friends (I mean jokes!) Top PMV of the month right here.
I feel bad that mean old Celestia is always picking on poor Luna. She is just trying to have some fun. Everyone needs a break once in a while.
TOO THE MOON! but seriously poor Luna... I'd let her win for once...
She's playing on a Gamecube? I guess Equestrian technology lags behind ours.
She's playing on the Wii. Tatsunoko vs Capcom is compatible with a GameCube Controller.
Amazingly fluid animation, and hilariously entertaining to boot. Seth's right, this community is absolutely incredible.
and to think there is a character that says that in that game. And Trollestia picked him
Making her start the match with a cut cord...dirty tactics, Celestia. You already scarred the poor girl for life with that moon incident, no need to rub it in.(Mind you, she's likely immortal, too, if my numbers are right...that's a long time.) I expected that from Discord, not you. :|
Cut cords are why I either Wavebird, Classic controller, or Wiimote+nunchuck.
I love Luna's expressions lol
animation was nicely done...
Pffhaahaa! "TO THE MOON!" That was genius.
Yeah, that was some sweet work.
That was hilarious. Although the "to the moon" is a really, REALLY, nasty touch. This is more than trolling. Considering the past events, this is plain cruelty. Ah well, still funny as hell.
that was the best fanvid ive ever watched nice job :)
Man, Luna and I would get along well. We would play fighting games all day.
Wow, that's Frank West's finisher, although he doesn't say "To the moon". But he might have, I dunno.
I see that one, that was Frank West's finisher, called "Dead Rising". After he says, "It's time to ROCK!" his grab is unavoidable, then he spins you around, tosses you, then uses a baseball bat to knock you into orbit, then you slam down behind him afterwards. In this animation, they made him say "To the mooooon!" Although in every video I see of him doing that finisher, he never said, "To the moon!".

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone
How It Is Done
The health professional drawing your blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol.
- Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
- Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
- Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Apply a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Apply pressure to the site and then a bandage.
For a woman who is having problems with her menstrual cycle or who cannot become pregnant, more than one blood sample may be needed to help identify a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) problem. A sample may be taken each day for several days in a row.

Might it be possible to put the rubric for morning (or daily) prayer up on this website? It would be lovely to have that outline when traveling, or to give to parishioners. Many thanks for your consideration. Leslie Latham Randolph, NY
