Drug Information For:
Ingredient Name:ADALIMUMAB (a-da-LIM-ue-mab)
Drug Manufacturer:ABBOTT
Common Uses:This medicine is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker used for treating a variety of moderate to severe inflammatory conditions (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis / JIA, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis). It is also used to treat certain patients with moderate to severe Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic plaque psoriasis. It may be used alone or in combination with other medicine. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Before Using This Medicine:WARNING: Patients who use this medicine have an increased risk of developing serious and sometimes fatal infections (eg, bacterial, viral, or fungal infections; tuberculosis / TB). Most patients who developed these infections were also taking medicine that suppressed their immune system (eg, corticosteroids, methotrexate). TB may be caused by a new infection or by reactivation of a previous infection. PATIENTS SHOULD RECEIVE A TB SKIN TEST before using this medicine. Patients who test positive for TB should begin treatment for TB before starting this medicine. All patients should also be monitored for signs of TB while using this medicine, even if their TB test is negative. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop signs of TB or any other type of infection (eg, persistent cough; muscle aches or weakness; unexplained weight loss; fever, chills, or persistent sore throat; shortness of breath; unusual tiredness; warm, red, or painful skin or sores; diarrhea or stomach pain; increased or painful urination). THIS MEDICINE IS A TNF-BLOCKER. Lymphoma and other types of cancer have been reported in children and teenagers treated with TNF-blockers. This has been fatal in some cases. Talk with your doctor for more information. A rare type of cancer called hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) has been reported in patients using TNF blockers, including this medicine. These cases have been fatal. Most of these cases occurred in teenagers or young adults, and most of these patients had Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis. Patients who developed HSTCL were usually using this medicine along with azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine. INFORM YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST of all prescription and over-the-counter medicine that you are taking. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE if you are using abatacept, anakinra, or another TNF-blocker (eg, etanercept). ADDITIONAL MONITORING OF YOUR DOSE OR CONDITION may be needed if you are taking cyclosporine, theophylline, warfarin, medicine to treat an infection, or medicine that may weaken the immune system (eg, 6-mercaptopurine; azathioprine; corticosteroids, such as prednisone; methotrexate; rituximab; tocilizumab). Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure if any of your medicines may weaken the immune system. DO NOT START OR STOP any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval. Inform your doctor of any other medical conditions, including a history of an infection that keeps coming back; TB infection or positive TB skin test; liver problems (eg, hepatitis B); heart problems (eg, heart failure); high cholesterol; high blood pressure; diabetes; cancer (eg, lymphoma); blood problems; bone marrow problems; an autoimmune disorder (eg, lupus) or other immune system problems (eg, weakened immune system); numbness, tingling, or other nervoussystem problems (eg, multiple sclerosis / MS, optic neuritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome); allergies (eg, rubber, latex); pregnancy; or breast-feeding. Tell your doctor if you have recently received a vaccine, are scheduled to receive a vaccine, are scheduled to have surgery, or have recently received treatment with rituximab or another TNF blocker. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, open cuts or sores on your body, or flu-like symptoms or other signs of infection (eg, fever; chills; sweats; cough; warm, red, or painful skin). Tell your doctor if you have ever lived in or traveled to an area where TB is common; have come into close contact with a person with active TB; or live or have lived in certain parts of the country where certain types of fungal infections (eg, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis) are common. Check with your doctor if you are not sure if you have lived in an area where these infections are common.

In the aftermath of the Brisbane Test, Hashim Amla made light of the Australian attitude of aggression, calling it "quite humorous," and brushed aside any suggestion of being intimidated. Michael Clarke's men brought out their mean side on the final afternoon as they went in search of nine South African wickets in two and half sessions and managed to finish with five.
In the most intense passage of play of an otherwise slow Test, Australia's attack threw everything at the South African top order after Clarke declared 115 runs ahead. In addition to short balls and movement off the seam they also had a lot to say - particularly to Graeme Smith and Amla.
Amla played on against James Pattinson but was not out because the fast bowler had overstepped - the fourth instance of a no-ball wicket in the match. Later in his innings, Peter Siddle thought he had Amla caught behind. A desperate appeal followed with help from David Warner at short midwicket but Amla said he was certain he had not made contact.
"I actually found it quite humorous. Obviously the guys were a bit pumped up thinking I had nicked the ball. I guess it is a bit funny when guys get emotional when there is no real need to," Amla said. "But it's part of the game. I found it quite funny and just enjoyed the moment. It was a nice patch of play for cricket." Amla was out shortly after when he handed Michael Hussey a catch at short cover.
Smith was also dismissed following a period of high drama. Post-lunch, Pattinson launched a verbal tirade on Smith for pulling away when a bird entered his line of sight when Pattinson was in his delivery stride. Smith waved him away and then faced a series of bouncers before edging a fuller ball to gully.
However, the South African captain also gave no credence to Australia's way with words. "There was a lot of noise out there but I couldn't really make out what was being said," Smith said, dismissively. "It was the same as any other game."
Tensions ran high despite the match petering out to a draw. Michael Clarke would have wanted exactly that as he asked his bowlers to try and cause an almighty collapse and he was pleased with the outcome. "I think the aggression and the intent is the way we play our best cricket and I certainly don't want to stop that," he said. "But we understand there's a line and you can go to the line but you can't overstep it."
Australia's oral traditions in the game have long been the source of a South African undoing. To this day Daryll Cullinan refuses to talk about his experiences in facing Shane Warne and the legend of Steve Waugh telling Herschelle Gibbs he had "dropped the World Cup," after he spilt a catch in the 1999 World Cup lives on despite it being fiction.
While the art of sledging is nothing new, the tactics employed in the Brisbane Test may sound suspiciously close to the 'dossier' which made headlines in the lead up. Both coach Mickey Arthur and Clarke denied the existence of the document and said some of the information contained in it was never discussed by the team.
Although they did not go into the specifics, it was thought that one of those would be to sledge Amla. It was a surprising strategy because Amla is known for his calm demeanor and difficult to rough up. It was also seen as fairly defeatist and made it seem as though Australia had no other ideas to stop Amla from scoring.
In the first innings, that may have been true. Despite nervous strokes and a number of edges, Amla notched up another Test ton. As Australia went for the win, though, they bowled far tighter lines, had better control over their length and even a player of Amla's quality struggled.
While Clarke believes that achievement will give Australia momentum and the mental edge going into Adelaide, Smith was not convinced. "I think a draw was a reflection of both teams."
Amla was also not ready to heap praise on Australia's bowling determination and said that while their attack is very good, "in my opinion, the South African attack is the best in the world." He also used it as an opportunity to punt his own part-time offspin as he followed up with a joke on what to expect in the second Test. "I was really disappointed when Graeme took me out of the attack after just two overs but he said he is resting me for the next Test."

China's Great Wall Of Suds: Chemical Spill Results In 50 Foot Foam TsunamiSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/30/2012 10:29 -0400
This is just the second time in three days that China's province of Guangdong is being discussed on Zero Hedge. On Thursday we wrote that the mega city of Dongguang, once Guangdong richest, is now on the verge of bankruptcy as China's hard landing begins to take its toll. Today, we learn that instead of the rivers running red once all hell breaks loose in China, the color will be soapy white. Specifically, following a chemical spill in Xintang, in the provine of Guandong, the result was a 50 foot tsunami of foam which was swept down a river by heavy rainfall, causing widespread panic and evacuations. It also caused the following brilliant explanation from a Chinese spokesman: "People are right to be cautious but it is harmless. It made very large bubbles when it went over a waterfall, but apart from one or two dead fish, it is harmless." We can't wait to hear Chinese justifications of mushroom clouds: "aside from one or two billion dead people, they give you a healthy green afterglow"?

The Law Of Diminishing ReturnsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2012 21:26 -0400
In the discipline of rational economics - and even in the "economics" which has sadly taken its place - the law of diminishing returns applies to productive processes. It states that with all other factors remaining the same, the addition of more units of one factor of production will at some point result in a lower yield per unit. There is always an optimum combination of factors of production which yields the highest return per unit of production. Increase one of these units beyond that optimum and the yield provided starts to drop. This does not necessarily mean that the amount of output drops. It means that the output is now not being produced in the most efficient manner. Factors of production are being wasted.

How Bad Was The Great Depression?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2012 16:57 -0400
To properly understand the events of the time (and to put them in today's context), we believe, like the FEE, that it is factually appropriate to view the Great Depression as not one, but four consecutive downturns rolled into one. These four "phases" are: I. Monetary Policy and the Business Cycle; II. The Disintegration of the World Economy; III. The New Deal; IV. The Wagner Act. The first phase covers why the crash of 1929 happened in the first place; the other three show how government intervention worsened it and kept the economy in a stupor for over a decade. The following brief clip and article shine a light on how bad things were and what was done in the name of 'helping' - there are many shocking analogies for current government-inspired acts from taxation to protectionism to money-supply 'tricks'. Everyone has heard the sage observation of philosopher George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." It's a warning we should not fail to heed.

Some "Curious" US And French Military DeploymentsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2012 15:29 -0400
Regular readers are aware that periodically, usually weekly, Zero Hedge presents critical naval updates demonstrating the positioning of key US maritime assets, primarily strategic aircraft carriers. The location of these indicates far more what US foreign policy is focused on at any moment, than propaganda distributed for general consumption via the coopted media. Today, however, instead of focusing on aircraft carriers, using Stratfor analysis, we present several broad "curious" US and French military developments.

US Nuclear 'Fort Knox' Cracked By 82-Year-Old NunSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2012 15:12 -0400
It's the weekend so forgive us this modest sidetrack but this 'Onion-esque' story was just too good to ignore.The company at the center of the Olympics' security debacle, G4S (whose directors resigned just yesterday over the "humiliating shambles") has gone one better. As Reuters reports, Megan Rice - an 82-year-old nun - cut perimeter fences and reached the outer wall where enriched uranium was stored at the US Government's nuclear storage 'Fort Knox' in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Can you guess who was responsible for the 'outsourced' security that enabled this SNAFU? G4S' subsidiary Babcock & Wilcox Co. (B&W). Energy Secretary Steven Chu has said the incident was an important "wake-up call" for the entire nuclear complex. An investigation last month found a security camera had been broken for about six months and was part of a backlog of repairs needed for security at the facility. Several top-ranking NNSA officials have been 'reassigned' (Gulag?) but have no fear as B&W have stated that the active union workers involved will all be employed elsewhere. One more example of the ineptitude of government oversight, the unintended consequence of crony capitalism, or simply another 'fool-me-once...'/unpunished debacle?

Greek Bad Loans Climb To Record 25% Of TotalSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2012 13:48 -0400
It appears that in the past few weeks, the number 25% is strange attractor of bad luck for Greece. First, a month ago we learned that Greek unemployment has for the first time ever reached 25%. Now we get to see the income statement and balance sheet manifestation of a society in socioeconomic collapse - Kathimerini reports that Greek bad loans, or those which haven't seen a payment made in over 3 months, have hit a record €57 billion, or 25% of all bank debt. "With one in every four loans not being repaid for more than three months, the bank system is feeling the pressure, leading to additional capital requirements that are expected to aggravate the state debt further." That was Kathimerini's spin. The reality is that just like in Spain, where between bad loans and deposit outflows, the country has become a protectorate of the ECB, which is now fully in control of its banking system, so too in Greece Mario Draghi's tentacles are now in every bank office. Should Greece repeat the festivities of this summer and threaten to pull out of the Eurozone, the ECB will merely in turn threaten to push the red button and cut off all cash to terminally insolvent Greek banks, which of course would also mean a total halt of all deposit outflow activity. So instead what will happen is the ongoing rise in unemployment, and the increase in bad loans as percent of total, until one day the economy, even with all the money in the world pumped into it from Frankfurt, will no longer move. That day is getting very close.

New York's Ultraluxury Office Vacancy Rate Jumps To Two Year High As Financial Firms Brace For ImpactSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2012 13:14 -0400
Traditionally, when it comes to reading behind the manipulated media's tea leaf rhetoric and timing major inflection points in the economy, the most accurate predictor are financial firms, whose sense of true economic upside (or downside) while never infallible, is still better than most. Yet unlike employment, which is usually a lagging, or at best concurrent indicator, one aspect that has always been a tried and true leading indicator, has been real estate demand, in this case rental contracts. Due to the long-term lock up nature of commercial real estate contracts, firms are far less eager to engage in rental transactions (and bidding wars) when they expect a worsening macroeconomic environment. Which is why news that office vacancy in Manhattan's Plaza district, the area between Sixth Avenue and the East River from 47th to 65th streets, anchored by the landmark Plaza Hotel at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South which is home to some of the nation's most expensive and prestigious office towers, and where America's largest hedge funds and PE firms have their headquarters, has just risen to 12.3%, or a two year high, is probably the most troubling news for the economy and a real indicator of what to expect of the immediate future.

Guest Post: A Few Remarks On ElectionsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2012 11:34 -0400
Rregardless of who you vote for, you can firmly depend on being disappointed in the areas that actually count. The whole idea that the democratic system such as it is allows voters to alter a nation's course by simply voting for a different batch of politicians is profoundly mistaken. In reality, the ruling elites use the apparent differences as a slick political ploy: namely to implement whatever agenda they have already decided upon without arousing the anger of the hoi-polloi too much. One must very carefully parse everything one sees or hears on the 'approved' news media these days. More often than not things are not what they seem, and it only becomes clear after some time in what direction they are about to be taken. Often we are confronted with seemingly diametrically opposed opinions on how to tackle a burning problem. Later a 'compromise' will suddenly and 'unexpectedly' make its entrance, consisting of the very policies the elites wanted to introduce in the first place. Upon hearing of the 'compromise', everybody nods sagely and agrees that this is what should be done, not realizing that they were duped from the very beginning.

Guess Who Was The Biggest Beneficiary From The Fed's POMO BonanzaSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2012 10:39 -0400
There was a time before the Fed announced it would commence sterilizing its Large Scale Asset Purchases when every day in which there was a Permanent Open Market Operation, or POMO (remember those?) was a gift from Bernanke, virtually assuring the market would ramp higher. This phenomenon had been documented extensively in Zero Hedge and elsewhere (a comprehensive analysis can be found in "POMO and Market Intervention: A Primer"). The pronounced market effect of POMO was diminished somewhat once the Fed sterilized the daily flow injection by selling short-term bonds to Primary Dealers, even though the Fed continues to buy $45 billion in long-term bonds to this day, effectively mopping up all 10 Year+ gross Treasury issuance, and keeping the stock of long bonds in the private market flat at ~$650 billion as we observed before. All of this is well known. What was not known is who were the Fed's POMO counterparties. Now we know. Yesterday, the Fed for the first time ever released Transaction level data for all of its Open Market Operations. The new data focuses on discount window transactions (completely irrelevant now that there are $1.7 trillion in excess reserves and the last thing banks need is overnight emergency lending from the Fed when there is already a liquidity tsunami floating, yet this is precisely what the WSJ focused on), on FX operations, and, our favorite, Open Market Operations, chief among them POMOs. What today's release reveals is that once again a conspiracy theory becomes fact, because we now know just which infamous bank was by fat the biggest monopolist of POMO operations in a period in which banks reported quarter after quarter of zero trading day losses. We leave it up to readers to discover just which bank we are referring to.

Where Do Your Tax Dollars Go?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/28/2012 19:01 -0400

The Next Subprime Crisis Is Here: Over $120 Billion In Federal Student Loans In DefaultSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/28/2012 20:52 -0400
Whereas earlier today we presented one of the most exhaustive presentations on the state of the student debt bubble, one question that has always evaded greater scrutiny has been the very critical default rate for student borrowers: a number which few if any lenders and colleges openly disclose for fears the general public would comprehend not only the true extent of the student loan bubble, but that it has now burst. This is a question that we specifically posed a month ago when we asked "As HELOC delinquency rates hit a record, are student loans next?" Ironically in that same earlier post we showed a chart of default rates for federal loan borrowers that while rising was still not too troubling: as it turns out the reason why its was low is it was made using fudged data that drastically misrepresented the seriousness of the situation, dramatically undercutting the amount of bad debt in the system. Luckily, this is a question that has now been answered, courtesy of the Department of Education, which today for the first time ever released official three-year, or much more thorough than the heretofore standard two-year benchmark, federal student loan cohort default rates. The number, for all colleges, stood at a stunning 13.4% for the 2009 cohort. And while it is impossible using historical data to extrapolate with precision what the current consolidated federal student loan default rate is, we do know that there is now $914 billion in federal student loans (which also was mysteriously revised over 50% higher by the Fed just a month ago). Using simple inference, all else equal (and all else has certainly deteriorated), there is now at least $122 billion in federal student loan defaults. And surging every day.
Ladies and gentlemen: meet the new subprime.

Guest Post: Welcome To The Era of 'Ugly' InflationSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/28/2012 18:01 -0400
Ray Dalio recently described the characteristics of a "beautiful deleveraging" in which equal doses of austerity, write-downs, and inflation gradually lighten the load of impaired debt. Two things can turn beautiful inflation into ugly inflation: Wages don't inflate along with prices and the currency depreciates as money is printed excessively. This might not matter for a nation that is a net exporter of goods and services. But for nations that import essentials such as oil and grain, this is a catastrophe, as wages are flat while the cost of imported energy and food skyrocket. Households have less money to spend, and servicing debt becomes increasingly burdensome. Welcome to the United States of Ugly Inflation. Real household income (i.e., adjusted for official inflation) has declined 8% since 2007; the cost of oil, medical care and higher education has climbed; and government revenues have stagnated even as demand for government services has increased. As a result, the entire beautiful deleveraging scenario is at risk.

How Oliver Wyman Manipulated The Spanish Bank Bailout AnalysisSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/28/2012 15:40 -0400
The biggest (non) news of the day was Oliver Wyman ("OW") conducting an "independent" audit of the Spanish banking system to validate the previously disclosed funding needs of Spain's banks which were announced back in June (just a week after Mariano Rajoy "insisted" no bank bailouts are needed). What OW really did was exercise 1 in a financial analyst's playbook: to goal seek a number in excel using a variety of input variables, especially several fudge factors that are tangential to the matter at hand, yet which provide the biggest bang for the buck. In this case the target of the goalseeking exercise was to get a final headline number for bank capital needs to be just as expected, or €60 billion. Sure enough it the number was €59.3 billion, just a little bit less than consensus. This is the total number of cash the bank system will need in order to be considered viable, and unless something has changed drastically, the cash will come from new debt issued by Spain, which in turn funds its bank bailout fund, the FROB (a process explained here). While it is a given that several months from now we will go through this whole entire exercise to find out how much more cash Spain's banks will need, for now what is curious is to understand what the fudge factor was that OW abused to allow it to get the desired result. That fudge factor is what is known as "excess capital buffer", whose usage in the model to plug a major capital shortfall gap is non-sensical and shows that the real funding needs of Spain's banks will be far greater, even absent future deterioration.

Apple Has Satanic Close To QuarterSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/28/2012 16:59 -0400
Ending the day at the lows, AAPL's stock price traded with a truly demonic $666.66 after-hours. The reason for the last few days' weakness? Who knows when a bubble bursts but between its analog to MSFT's meteoric rise, the stocks' weight in the NASDAQ, 'disappointing' first-week sales, Cook's Maps FUBAR, supply-chain disruptions, or the market having to suddenly price in the arrival of the new Obama-phone, volumes have been picking up.

Carve out time for 21 minutes of moderate-intensity (or 11 minutes of rock-your-socks-off) cardio today. Repeat for a week.
Why such an oddly specific number? That's what experts say it takes to be considered moderately fit, and moderately fit women are 44 percent less apt to have depressive symptoms than nonexercisers, the Journal of Psychiatric Research reports. (Super fit women are 54 percent less likely to be blue.) Working out releases good-for-you endorphins and leaves you feeling healthy, strong and sexy—aka happy! "When you pursue a goal like exercise, you feel more competent," says Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., author of The How of Happiness. The more you keep up with your workouts, the more content you'll be.

32w, 4dHello there!1 comments · 145 views
Not too long after this post goes up (more than a few hours, but less than a few days) there's likely to be some extra traffic to my page. Hello, people who otherwise might not have come here! I figured an influx of people is as good a time/excuse as any to update this thing, like I really should be doing more frequently than I am.
The state of my works today in the most honest terms I can give it - including when I would like (but can by no means promise) each thing to update and/or finish - is as follows:
1) TBaG still only has about 7k words put down (out of a planned > 100k), despite having been "in the works" for literally years now. The outline gives broad strokes about the three-or-so most important things that need to happen in each chapter for the entirety of the story, so it's not a matter of not knowing where to go. It's... a messed up kind of perfectionism, I guess. I don't feel like much of anything I've done is good by the standards I seem to think of as objective, and I wanted this story to be the one to break that. I wanted to make something not just good, but great. I have actually, truly lost count of the number of drafts of the first chapter I've gone through. The second chapter has had only a dozen or so, but mostly because I keep turning back to the first one. I'm never, ever going to hit my original quality goals, though, so the sooner I can let myself call a "suboptimal" chapter finished the sooner we can all get going. We'll get there someday. I hope I can get this moving by early/mid July. Finishing it... we'll worry later.
2) Friendship Camp, like TBaG, has a handful of super-important events outlined for each chapter. The third chapter is at... ~250 words (out of a planned 3-5k, with a planned REDACTED chapters to follow that). It's relatively high up there in terms of writing priority (which roughly follows the order things are listed in here), but there are other things in my life that need attention before writing gets my time. I hope I can get you folks the third chapter this month, and a finish by the beginning of July.
3) A Ball in the Hoof is Worth... Nothing You Idiot (Working Title) is at ~1k words (out of a planned ~4-8k), with a very very vague outline. What is it? Well, we'll leave specifics for when it's up, but it's a fun little one shot where Rainbow Dash gets frustrated at just how bad most of her friends are at sports. This, we might be seeing sometime in May.
4) Tooth 2 - Tooth Harder (Working Title) is at ~1k words (out of a planned ??? words) with some ideas and fluff and no real outline to speak of. It's a sequel to The Whole Tooth. How ridiculous do you think it is? It is five times as ridiculous as that. This will probably wind up being pounded out in a single night when I find myself unable to work on other things. Let's say... the next four weeks?
5) NO TITLE (Working not-yet-title) is at ~3k words (out of a planned 10-20k) with a wispy outline that fills out toward the end. It follows the daughter of Apple Bloom and the son of Sweetie Belle finding weird junk going on in Ponyville. Definitely a darker tint to this one. I HOPE to finish it around the end of this month, but we'll see. There's a lot to be done.
6) Orphan (really-really early working title) is at 0 words and has no outline. It is ideas I like too much to let go, so I keep them in a pile that I will sort into an outline at some point. It is not about the standard things you'd expect from this title. It is instead a sadder take on the standard things you can expect from me when I decide to mess with causality/the universe/time.
7) Rainbow Dash Dating Game (really early working title) is at 0 words and has a vague outline. It is a dumb idea that I like anyway, but that won't be happening soon.
8-13) Non-pony words I will link to IF AND ONLY IF they are finished and "published" in the right place (which is not under my direct control).
14) It's not even words. What is it? Who knows! Unlikely to ever be seen around these parts, for one.
15) That Mystery I've Wanted to do Since MMMystery on the Friendship Express but Haven't Gotten Around to Starting (working title) is at 0 words with less of an outline and more of a pile of clues and red herrings I want to use.
So there you go. Those are the things I'm trying to make, in roughly the order that they currently matter to me, along with the timeline of when things will move that I'd like to pretend we'll see happen. It's not likely that timeline will be accurate.
And just for those wondering, no, I'm probably not deleting that thing. It is a source of too much amusement.
Oh yeah. One last thing. This person right here translated this thing right here into French and that's pretty neat.

So... remember this? No? That's alright. I almost didn't either until the second chapter fell on me. You can have it, if you want.
ALSO - still marching toward getting some stuff out this year. Three different things in the works, one should make it, another could and would be nice, all three seems unlikely. But that's not what this post is for. It's for that thing up there.
67w, 4dWait, two MONTHS?1 comments · 143 views
I have nothing of particular importance to report to you all...
that can be given any kind of date.
However, if you're still interested in abstract hope for the future, I have a few bits to toss into your face. One is that I'm not dead and haven't quit the fandom or whatever. I just disappeared again, like I tend to do from time to time. I'm a busy fellow, sometimes fulfilling social obligations, sometimes working super duper hard for five or six twelve+ hour days (and without even getting any overtime!), and sometimes playing a buttload of video games because that's been one of my primary hobbies since the age of five. The last week or so was catching up on games (I'm pretty sure most people own fewer games total than I own that I haven't even played once). Today was working (deadlines!). Tomorrow is social obligations (no, mother, there's no need for you to see any part of my apartment but the living room I assure you it is all spotless please turn around and don't open those doors please let me just show you around town or something instead NO DON'T LOOK IN THE KITCHEN). Such is life.
BUT! But but but!
A while back, I made some important decisions regarding that one project of mine that STILL hasn't surfaced. I know what I want to do with it now, I've come to terms with certain realities, and I can promise you 1000% that the only delays on it from here on out will be in getting it written down. There are no more barriers but my own time management. I have a super solid draft of the first chapter, a decent-ish draft of the second, a nifty outline, a gigantic bucket of little ideas to sprinkle around, and even pretty much the most perfect ending ever all planned out.
IN ADDITION! That other, more recent thing that was pretty interesting? That's got some good stuff brewing as well. I plan on delivering the remainder of that story before years' end, and getting the ball rolling on the big one in a meaningful way before that (a buffer so that you needn't suffer droughts!). We'll see how well I can actually stick to a schedule of even that much vaguery, but hey, it's good to set goals.
75w, 6dYou like these monthly nothings?3 comments · 148 views
I feel... weird. I was never exactly a permanent fixture around here, swinging in and out as I found the time to be a part of the community, but I always came back.
It just hit me how long I've been on the outside. I've missed quite a lot of developments, and I'm stumbling around questioning who I am in relation to this whole fiction thing. What am I trying to do? What am I actually getting done? What have I written in the last 24 hours? The last week? The last month?
Why am I here?
It's practically an existential crisis, it is. I don't know how to put what I'm feeling into words (a sentiment I express far too often for a writer) and I don't know the answers to the questions, or even if they're the right questions.
I suspect what's happening is that I keep pushing other projects off because I "should" be working on the one I really want to succeed, but that I can rarely (if ever) muster up the will to touch. That first chapter has been through so, so, so many drafts... I'm not sure it'll ever be finished. I've been sitting on the first chapter of a different thing for two or three weeks now, you know. I tell myself that I have a decent enough outline in my head and it's not that long and so I should just wait until it's finished instead of tormenting folks with a slow chapter drip.
I was having tons of fun writing the first chapter, and then I just... stopped. I don't know why I did. I don't know exactly why I'm venting in the blog, other than that you guys deserve some sort of acknowledgement that I haven't forgotten you.
Or have I?
Maybe this is me paying my debt to the universe and releasing all the overwrought angst that was supposed to show up when I was a teenager. Delayed psychological puberty. I dunno.
Maybe I'm falling out of the loop because Steam is installed on a different computer now that isn't always on and I'm not always checking, and that was my tie to my pony friends. Maybe I'm avoiding popping up in pony places and not realizing it.
All I know for sure is that if I want to be a part of this thing, I need to get back on that saddle, and the most important part of it is to write more. I'm going to submit the thing I've been sitting on. It's just the one chapter, and it hasn't been edited to hell and back, and it's pretty terrible, but it's something.
Then, once it's up here, I'm going to give myself a deadline. I've done that before, I know, but this time it's more important. It'll be like a time bomb strapped to the saddle. I HAVE to stay on the horse, or lose it forever.
If I don't submit a second chapter for the thing I'm about to submit the first chapter of before the fourth of July, I'm freezing (not deleting) this account and dropping out of writing until such time as I can make it important enough in my life to actually happen, because clearly if I can't make the time to write a few measly thousand words in just under a month, I'm not trying hard enough. If I pass, I'll set up another deadline for the third chapter, one that's not longer and perhaps shorter, and so on for the fourth and the fifth...
I'm hitting submit now, then showering, checking some emails, and going to work. I might be going out with a few friends after work (there I go doing other things again) and might not be back here until pretty late, but I'll blerg again when the night is done and see how a day of thinking about this has made me feel.
79w, 6dAnother month, another cup of shattered dreams and/or excuses for my inactivity2 comments · 145 views
Or something less wangsty, because things are good. They're just busy and full of many fewer words than I'd like. I'm only even doing a blogamajig to remind folks that I still exist and am not dead.
In good news, though, as of today I'm actively working on something at a pace greater than two or even three snails. It's certainly different, but whether it's good or bad it's something, and producing a story is better than not producing a story.
I'm far enough along (and not polishing to hell and back for infinite delay points) that I COULD guarantee you something by the end of the week, but I'm not sure I want to. I think this thing would work better if posted all at once. We'll see where I am at the end of the week and where I think I'll be at the end of the month and go from there.
Would you like a stupidly vague idea of what it's about? Too bad, you get one anyway.
Six ponies (who are not the mane six) are sharing a cabin, and something bad happened a few years ago.
I'm actually feeling motivated and "into it" and such, so yay. With any luck, after this wears off and everyone (rightfully) downvotes the result, I'll still have enough chutzpah left to strap on my spelunking gear and go back into the pile of things I started/am ostensibly writing and pull a shambling corpse up to the surface.
- ...
The clean, cool stream just off the edge of Sweet Apple Acres washed away the troubles of the day. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo had had an exhausting set of adventures and the refreshing dip was just what they needed. The clear waters washed away the heat and the sweat, and the tree sap, of another long day of play. The Cutie Mark Crusaders had gotten an early start, terrorizing no fewer than a dozen ponies before noon. Their efforts had been unsuccessful, but enjoyable. Scootaloo's stomach rumbled, and her friends' stomachs soon followed. They hadn't eaten the 'food' they had made around lunch time. Silently, the three of them nodded to each other and understood it was time to get something in their bellies.
"Hi girls! What can I get for you? Do you need cookies? Cake? Cupcakes?" Pinkie Pie gasped. "DO YOU NEED A PARTY?"
"No Pinkie Pie, we were just hungry," Sweetie Belle said softly.
"Oh. That's okay. Delicious treats are fun, too! Here, try these muffins!" Pinkie Pie pushed a tray of muffins that hadn't been there a moment ago across the counter toward the fillies and smiled.
"Thanks, Pinkie. How much?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Oh girls, don't worry about that. I can tell you're really hungry, and I need somepony to tell me how these Muffins taste anyway. I used a new recipe!"
"Free muffins? Thanks!" Scootaloo grinned.
"You're welcome! I'm always happy to help a pony in need. Any time you have a problem, you can come straight to your auntie Pinkie and she'll help you make everything okie doki loki!"
Rarity stood next to Roseluck, gossiping away as the Cutie Mark Crusaders trotted out of Sugarcube Corner.
"Oh I KNOW. It's positively SCANDALOUS! There appears to be evidence, too. Haven't you noticed Lyra seems to be getting a little… larger? I'm fairly certain she's expecting."
Sweetie Belle stopped. "What's Lyra expecting?" she asked sweetly.
"Oh, nothing dear. Run along and play," Rarity said, shooing her sister off with a hoof. "I've never known her to have problems with her weight, so I don't know what else it could be. Oh, Bon Bon will be so devastated."
"Oh, I KNOW! Listen, sorry to run off like this Rarity, but I need to be somewhere ten minutes ago. I'll see you around, okay?"
"Oh it's not a problem at all. You go and have a pleasant afternoon," Rarity said, smiling.
Sweetie Belle hadn't moved. "What did Lyra do to make her sad?"
"Sweetie, it's nothing. It's just silly gossip, Lyra probably isn't REALLY going to have a foal. Don't you and your friends have things to do?"
"A foal? Why would that make Bon Bon sad?"
"Because they're both MARES, dear." Rarity suddenly went very stiff, realizing she had set hoof on dangerous ground. Sweetie was still a young filly, and she didn't know certain things. Things Rarity didn't want to have to explain right now.
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were now standing to either side of their friend, having become interested in the conversation.
"I thought everypony always got all excited about new foals," Scootaloo said.
"Well, this foal would have come from somewhere else and…" Rarity trailed off as she stepped backward. She was getting pushed into a corner, literally and figuratively.
"Somewhere else? Where do foals normally come from and why is this different?" Scootaloo asked.
"Aren't you girls still a little young to be asking about foals?"
"We're not little. And we're just displaying a healthy curi… curio… curiosity," Sweetie Belle chimed in.
"Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, I'm sure your familes will tell you all about the birds and the bees later. Sweetie Belle, I…"
"What do birds an' bees have to do with ponies?" Applebloom asked.
"Oh dear… you know, girls, this is a rather… delicate topic. It is usually best for a young filly's parents to explain it to her, but only when she is ready. I just don't think that…"
"Aww, come on Rarity. Just because we don't have our cutie marks doesn't mean we're immature little foals!"
"Come now, Scootaloo, I didn't mean to imply that…"
"Please Rarity? Ah'm awful curious!"
Apple Bloom was making that face and Rarity was having a difficult time ignoring it. She would have to give them an answer, but she didn't feel comfortable giving her sister 'the talk' just yet, much less two unrelated little ponies. Recalling her own youthful experiences asking her elders difficult questions, and remembering the ridiculous answers she had been given, she decided there was no harm in stretching the truth a little and leaving out some details.
Rarity sighed loudly and dramatically. "Very well then. You want to know where foals come from? Sit, and I shall tell you all about both the birds and the bees."
There was a rapid and insistent knocking on the library door. Twilight Sparkle pulled her muzzle out of the book she had been reading and glanced up the stairs. She quickly shook her head and trotted over to answer the door.
"Spike please hurry an' get Twili… oh! Perfect! We was just lookin' for ya, Twilight."
Apple Bloom rushed inside, followed by Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, both of whom were struggling to carry large burlap sacks that were twitching and writhing.
"Oh, hello girls. What can I help you with? And what's in the bags?"
"Oh, well ya see Twilight, we was hopin' we could get some help with a spell."
"I'd be glad to help, but um… your bags are… moving."
"Don't you worry none about that, these here are ingredients!"
Twilight had a worried look on her face and then glanced upstairs again. "Spike's been feeling a little under the weather, but maybe we should get him to help us with… this. It looks like you girls have got your hooves full just holding onto the um… spell components. I'm sure actually utilizing them will be at least as difficult, if not more. Just wait here and I'll be right back."
Each of the Cutie Mark Crusaders beamed a wide smile at the lavender unicorn as she ascended the stairs.
"Do you think she can do it by herself? My sister said it takes two ponies."
"Of course she can! Rarity said it was a special kind of magic, and Twilight is like, the most magical unicorn in Ponyville! She's practically the Rainbow Dash of magic!"
"Ah wouldn't worry about it. Why if even half the stories my sister tells me are true, she can definitely handle it."
The fillies' debate was cut short as Twilight Sparkle came to the bottom of the steps with Spike right behind her. The two crossed the room and stood in front of the eager trio.
"Okay then. So what exactly are we doing here?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah. And why'd I have to come down here? What do you need my help for?" Spike grumbled, brushing one claw under his nose.
Apple Bloom spoke up. "Well ya see, Rarity just told us all about the birds an' the bees and how foals are made, and we thought it sounded real excitin'."
Twilight's eyes shifted back and forth between the two large squirming bags. "I'm not sure I understand…"
Spike sneezed. A huge ball of green flames shot out in front of him and engulfed the bag Sweetie Belle was holding, causing it to disappear in a great puff of smoke.
"Great! It took us FOREVER to get all those birds," Scootaloo huffed, dropping her cargo as she crossed her forehooves in frustration.
"Birds? What is going on here? And what's in the other…" Twilight's eyes fell to the lump of fabric on the floor as she watched the wriggling mass inside it inch closer and closer to the now free opening at the end.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders bolted out the door, immediately knowing they didn't want to stick around to get in trouble AND get stung. The library erupted into complete chaos, and Twilight cried out loud enough that every pony in ponyville could hear her.
Fluttershy quietly squeaked as she fell to the ground. The trio of fillies stopped running to offer their apologies to the poor pegasus and two of them turned to continue running. Apple Bloom did not.
"Wait a minute... Fluttershy knows all about critters an' stuff, maybe she could help get all a them bees back where they belong!"
Fluttershy stood and gently brushed herself off. "Oh my goodness. Has there been an incident with bees on the farm?"
"Nuh uh. The bees are all at the library, scarin' the living daylights outta Twilight."
"Why would there be a swarm of bees indoors?"
The three little ponies all looked downward and shuffled their hooves.
"Girls, I know you're eager to discover your special talents, but it's dangerous to disturb wildlife."
"Yeah, we know. We were just going to have Twilight help us make a foal," Scootaloo said with a guilty look on her face.
"Oh MY… you girls are MUCH too young to be having foals, and bees should certainly not be involved."
"But my sister told us that you needed birds AND bees."
"Oh goodness, I think there's been a misunderstanding, girls. The birds and the bees are just metaphors, there aren't actually any birds or bees involved."
"Ah don't get it. Where do foals come from then?"
Fluttershy's face turned a deep red and she shrunk backward. "Oh, well, you see… when a mare and a stallion …."
"Could you repeat that? I don't think I heard you," Scootaloo stepped forward.
The powerful blush on the timid face of the pegasus intensified and she made herself even smaller. Her lips moved, but it was impossible to hear a word.
"Fluttershy, you're gonna need ta speak up. Where do foals come from?"
By this point, Fluttershy had closed her eyes and become a tiny shivering ball of fur. Her mouth still moved, but there was no trace of sound coming out.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders had returned to their clubhouse to formulate a plan to deal with the bees. Maybe they would be really talented beekeepers. They set to work drawing out ideas to get the situation under control, when Sweetie Belle stopped and set her crayon down.
"Girls, we still didn't find about where foals come from… and I don't think I want my cutie mark to have anything to do with bees…"
"Yeah, me neither. Besides, I'm sure Twilight's crazy magic can deal with a few bees."
"You're probably right.
"Applejack, where do foals come from?"
The farm pony dropped the basket of apples she was carrying and froze in place. She didn't look forward to this conversation, but she had always believed honesty was the best policy.
"We tried ta ask Fluttershy, but she just got all embarrassed an' quiet."
"Yeah, and Rarity said a bunch of junk about birds and bees and the magic of love."
Applejack slowly turned to face the three fillies with a nervous look on her face. Telling her sister she could do, but there was no way it was right to go putting ideas into other ponies' heads. Granny Smith was furious the day Big Macintosh came home talking about what his buddy had taught him about hard cider. Honesty was all well and good, but a pony could get mighty angry if their foal learned something from the wrong place. If the fillies had already asked more than one other pony and not found an answer yet, it was unlikely she would be able to get away without telling them something.
"Ya don't say. W-well I reckon' I could tell ya all about it. 'Snot particularly c-complicated. Uh… well, when two ponies love each other very much… a-and they decide they want to have a foal together, t-they write a letter to the Princess a-askin' if they could please have one. Then the Princess uses her real fancy magic, an poof! That's how a foal gets made. Yup. Definitely."
"Well, that explains magic and love, but that didn't have anything to do with birds OR bees," Scootaloo protested.
"Oh, uh, well, ya see… the bird is the uh… the STORK! It's a special kinda bird an it flies out from the palace and brings the new foal to it's parents. Yeah, um, an' the bees are just the way ponies used to send letters." Applejack's snout was scrunched up and her eyes were darting rapidly around the area. She would make a terrible poker player.
A fantastic rainbow streaked through Ponyville at an entirely unsafe altitude. One wrong move and she'd be Rainbow Crash all over again, but avoiding risks just wasn't her style. She needed to keep her reflexes razor sharp so she could…
Turn her head and slam directly into a building before sliding painfully to the ground. She fell over with a dull thud.
"Scootaloo, come on now. Don't go ditchin' us just yet. Besides, we still didn't find anything out. Hey Rainbow Dash, do y'all know how foals are made?"
Crud. This wasn't good. Rainbow Dash had limited knowledge of the world. She knew flying, she knew pranks, she knew weather, and that was basically it. She didn't know a lot, but she was okay with that because she didn't NEED to know a lot. But there are some things that EVERYPONY is supposed to know. Things that are embarrassing to grow up without learning. Things that would make ponies laugh at you. Twilight Sparkle didn't know the first thing about snowball fights, and that had gotten quite a laugh. Everypony felt bad and apologized later, but it had been hard to resist rolling on the ground pointing and laughing at a pony who didn't understand something as simple as "throw snow, dodge snow."
Not knowing how foals were made, at her age, was something Rainbow Dash could not admit to. The embarrassment would be too much. She needed to slide out of this situation as smoothly as possible without revealing her ignorance. Her head hurt a little from the crash earlier, and she was having a hard time coming up with a decent way to excuse herself for immediately flying away. She would need to have something important to go take care of. Something that was believable and didn't damage her image. The perfect idea came to her. An excuse that not only didn't spill her secret, but that actually reinforced the OPPOSITE idea. She was totally an expert.
"Sorry, squirts, but I've gotta fly. I'm actually of on my way to go make a foal right now! Later!"
"Do y'all think Twilight's taken care of the bees yet? We've asked just about everypony else and we ain't any closer to a good answer."
"She'll definitely know, but she might be kinda mad at us," said Scootaloo.
"Maybe we should go apologize, and then if she forgives us we can ask her," replied Sweetie Belle.
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo nodded at this and the three fillies cantered back toward the library. When they got there, they noticed the front door was missing. Apple Bloom gingerly stepped inside and saw a purple unicorn covered in small red lumps sitting in a corner. Floating above her was a glowing ball making a terrible buzzing noise. "Pinkie?" she asked.
"Twilight? Are ya okay?"
"Oh, it's you. Yes, Apple Bloom, I'm fine… mostly. I just need to stay here and concentrate on keeping the horrible little demons in place until Pinkie comes back. She said she could help me get rid of them."
Scootaloo came inside and sat next to Apple Bloom. "We're sorry. About the bees."
Twilight sighed. "It's okay, girls. Just… please don't bring any bees anywhere near me ever again. Now, I believe you three have some very misguided ideas about where foals come from, and I know I have some books here that can explain everything to you. They should be on that shelf over there," she said, pointing a hoof to one side.
A poofy pink pony bounced in through the doorway, carrying a jar full of peanuts and a goose on her back. "We should be able to get rid of the bees with these!"
"That's good. The bees will go away, we'll get our questions answered, and Rainbow Dash will have her foal," Sweetie Belle said, smiling.
Pinkie dropped the jar and the goose, jumping up into the air with a gasp. "RAINBOW DASH IS HAVING A FOAL? INEEDTOGOPLANAPARTYSORRYTWILIGHTI'LLCOMEBACKLATERBYE!"
The glass jar shattered on the floor, scattering peanuts everywhere and causing Twilight to lose her concentration. The Cutie Mark Crusaders fled the scene once more as Twilight's screaming and the buzzing of the bees were joined by a the sound madly honking goose.
Sugarcube Corner was more decorated than it had been in months. Countless streamers and curled up banners hung from every available surface, and every table had a beautiful triple layered cake in the middle. No expense would be spared for an occasion this special. Applejack and Fluttershy and Rarity had all shown up promptly, and Pinkie Pie could hardly contain her excitement. Sadly, Twilight wasn't able to make it. She was at the local clinic for some sort of minor allergic reaction that ended up becoming serious from exposure to large doses. Dash was supposed to show up last so everypony could surprise her. She would be showing up any minute now…
Right on cue, Rainbow Dash stopped in the doorframe, staring into the darkness. All at once, the lights came on and the banners unfurled.
Dash stared at the banners hanging around the room, her jaw brushing against the floor.
"So darling, you simply MUST tell me who the lucky stallion is. How long have you two been seeing each other? Why haven't you told any of us about him? Is it somepony we know? Are you embarrassed about who it is? Oh we have SO much to discuss!"
Fluttershy blushed lightly and smiled. "I'm very happy for you, Rainbow Dash."
Applejack quietly brought her face right next to the cyan pegasus. Her expression was cold. "If you hurt mah brother, Ah will end you," she whispered.
"Big Macintosh? I've barely ever said two words to him!"
Applejack let out a long, whistling sigh. "Whoo. That sure is a load off. I just assumed, what with you spendin' so much time near the farm… Ah'm right sorry fer thinkin' you would do such a thing without tellin' me."
"Do what? Listen, Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, I don't know what's going on here. This is all just a big misunderstanding!"
A still somewhat lumpy Twilight Sparkle trotted inside, followed by the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "Yes it is, and it's about time we clear this all up. There will be no more confused little fillies, no more rumors about who's expecting a foal, and no more bees."
Twilight slowly plodded to the center of the room. "When two ponies love each other very much, they can choose to work together to bring a foal into this world. There are no letters to the Princess, no spells, no birds, and NO BEES. All it takes is love."
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom smiled and cooed. "Eww, "Scootaloo frowned and stuck out her tongue.
"B-but that doesn't explain where the foal comes from," Rainbow Dash stammered, "y'know, and… and that's what they wanted to know all along." She smiled sheepishly.
"OOH! OOH! I know this one!" Pinkie exclaimed, bouncing halfway to the ceiling. Ten minutes later, she had finished explaining, in somewhat unnecessary detail, exactly how a foal is conceived and delivered. Fluttershy, as expected, was blushing furiously. So was Rainbow Dash.
Princess Celestia stood in front of the door to her sister's room. She had played a terrible prank on Luna the previous night involving FAR too many frogs. She had apologized and promised to never use amphibians in her pranks again, but she wanted to apologize one more time. Celestia knocked twice and waited. Just as Luna opened the door with a smile that matched her sister's, a large burlap sack appeared in her face and burst open. Luna screamed and the castle burst into a flurry of panicked shouting. There were birds EVERYWHERE.
Very good! Just the kind of trouble one would expect the CMC to get into!
lawl. that was great. If my kids brought bees into my house i would run...i hate bees. So. much...
This was incredibly stupid, funny and STUPID! Storywise, it was VERY well written. But the CMC! And the mane six! HOW CAN THEY BE STUPID ENOUGH TO DO THIS?! I mean, yes, it was incredibly funny, but i facepalmed so hard, i hit the back of my head against a wall! And laughed a lot too. The story was amazing, yes, but the whole idea, though possible(in fact, i believe this is how it would've worked in the show if they ever had the chance and will to dos something like this), was STUPID! AND STUPIDITY IS HILARIOUS!
(Also, i'm kinda hoping a Mature or Teen rated version that depicts Pinkie's explenation, for the sake of laughter. )
Also, i'm very aware that the whole comment jumps from insulting you to praising you, but believe me, it was a positive comment.
I can imagine celestial being like Wheatley from portal 2 with he birds... BIRD BIRD BIRD BIRD KILL IT AGH AGH Ahhhhhhh!!!! xD
This was fantastic.
I could totally see this as an episode. Thumbs up- err, hooves up, bro!
...and that's the story of how Equestria was founded!
Tomorrow, I'll tell you how foals are made.
...and Twilight was horribly hurt, as in any average real episode!
Real nice story - and nicely shown just why and how various ponies won't just pony up and tell the girls about the making of the foals, instead of simply "you shouldn't tell little kids". That would have made the story far more boring. :)
Not the bees! AHHHHHHH Ahgarbulagabah my eyes! my eyes! AHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHhhhurgh!
Oh well. Great story overall.
"Sorry, squirts, but I've gotta fly. I'm actually of on my way to go make a foal right now! Later!"
Typical ponies digging themselves deeper over nothing. I suppose telling them to ask their parents wouldn't have cut it for a story.
Exactly what I was thinking of when I got to that scene.
The first two scenes seem completely pointless. The rest is fairly good though.
A short, good and funny piece. I liked it, though the part about Rainbow Dash not knowing where foals comes from seemed rather farfetched.
Hee hee.
This was a pretty fun read. The CMCs are their customary blend of foalish wonder and horrific mayhem, and the Mane Six are nicely in character.
...And I lol'd at the Brick Joke at the end.
This is the funniest fanfic I have ever read!! Keep it up good sir/madam!
Lol, hilarious story! Except for sme small grammatical errors, it was perfect! Would've expected Rainbow to kno a bit more but oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles.
Now this is exactly the kind of goofy fun fic I love. If it weren't for the content, I could see this working as an episode of the show! All the characters - especially the CMC - feel true to the feel of the show and the comedy is great. I love the repeating theme of the birds and bees. And I guess it comes as no surprise that Pinkie would know about all this stuff, though dare I ask where she gets her vast knowledge from?
Oh man, My lungs hurt
Celestia: "Get the bird! Get it kill it kill it kill it kill it!"
Luna: "LOL"
Anyway, great story. I can picture Celestia being scared of birds
Wow. This just kind of revels in insanity. Way to go on the "Relax-o-Vision" section of Pinkie's explanation.
Good story, but a little disappointing that the situation with Lyra and Bon Bon is left unresolved
I got kind of a Portal 2 vibe from the bird thing. OH MY GOD IT'S A BIRD, KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT
That was a really fun read.
Pyros Overall score for Birds and the bees by theworstwriter : 5/5
Fricken Hilarious !
I expected Fluttershy to freeze up like that
and Rainbow Dash not knowing how it happens.
Pinkie pie being the only one who didn't have any
problem explaining the whole process of birth

This article is a set of reflections on how a modern linguistic ideology of communication produces a fundamental misrecognition of the formation of the modern liberal subject as a naturally communicating subject. I explore the complex features of this misrecognition as a legacy of Cold War procedures of knowledge production about communication and technology to suggest that ethnographies of new technologies of communication unwittingly proliferate presumptions about the ontological integrity of the human prior to communication and prior to the advent of technologies of communication. This dilemma offers an alternative point of departure for the study of new technologies of communication in pursuit of a renewed, critical investigation into the circulation of modern cultural forms of intelligibility.

It is giving me a few options to choose from, but I'm not sure which one is correct. I would assume there is a way to check my Xcode project to be sure that the bundle IDs match. More specifically I would think that the form below would correspond to my bundle id name
where if my app is called

One Green Thing: Newspaper is good for more than wrapping fish!
By Jan Herbert
Rockford Park District
Whether you were "green" before the color was fashionable or whether you're just ready to find the "shade" that works best for you, here's information about doing just "one green thing."
If you are a seed starter, you can make your own starter pots. Take one layer of paper (you may have to fool with figuring out the size…start with maybe a half a page) and wrap around something about the size of a baby food jar…do not roll it so tight you cannot remove the jar later. Leave 1 inch overhang on one end. Fold that overhang in and tape off (you have just made the bottom of the pot). Remove the jar, and tuck in all the edges to the height you want for your pot.
If you have some pieces left, shred them up for the compost pile. You could take one of those mesh onion bags; stuff it with scraps of newspaper (or even tiny fabric scraps) for the birds to choose some nesting material. Still have more scraps? Grab them and mix them in with your dryer lint for kindling for your next fire.
And my personal favorite…before mulching, cover the bed with about four or five layers of newspaper to help control the weeds. I have not tried this, but my friend was getting ready to plant bulbs (and making a new bed)…instead of digging up the sod or using chemicals to kill the grass, she covered the area she intended with newspaper, dug the holes for the bulbs through the paper, and then mulched. Haven't seen it yet, but I'm betting those daffodils look great! When I think of daffodils, I am reminded of the article about a woman who planted just two or three dozen daffodil bulbs every year. The photograph of the "field of daffodils" looked fabulous…and it always makes me wish I had done it.

@MISC{Müller-Olm04preciseinterprocedural, author = {Markus Müller-Olm and Helmut Seidl}, title = { Precise Interprocedural Analysis through Linear Algebra}, year = {2004}}
We apply linear algebra techniques to precise interprocedural dataflow analysis. Specifically, we describe analyses that determine for each program point identities that are valid among the program variables whenever control reaches that program point. Our analyses fully interpret assignment statements with affine expressions on the right hand side while considering other assignments as non-deterministic and ignoring conditions at branches. Under this abstraction, the analysis computes the set of all affine relations and, more generally, all polynomial relations of bounded degree precisely. The running time of our algorithms is linear in the program size and polynomial in the number of occurring variables. We also show how to deal with affine preconditions and local variables and indicate how to handle parameters and return values of procedures.

Goldstar got me a ticket seated partially behind a column. The primary action of the dance in many numbers was obscured. Goldstar gave me a paltry $5 refund. I'm still annoyed.
