  1. 60's Space Food Looks Gross, Probably Tastes Gross

    http://www.livescience.com/20447-60-space-food-gross-tastes-gross.html

    Being on one of the Apollo missions sounds like a blast, but in the end, you still gotta eat. Shown in this image is John Young's extra space lunch from the Apollo 10 mission. It contains cocoa, salmon salad, sugar cookie cubes, grape punch and hand wipes.

    The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum released the image today, May 18, to correspond with the anniversary of the Apollo 10 mission.

    The Apollo 10 spacecraft launched from Cape Kennedy at 12:49 p.m. EST with commander Thomas Stafford, command module pilot Young and lunar module pilot Gene Cernan. This liftoff marked the fourth Apollo launch in seven months. Its purpose was to serve as a complete dry run for the Apollo 11 mission, the first mission to land humans on the Moon.

    Each crew member was supplied with three meals per day, which provided approximately 2,800 calories. This photo shows Young’s Meal B lunch for mission Day 9.

  2. Ya, pretty much. Papercraft is probably not an art form to be squished into buttons. I just love them.

    Magnets VS stickers though... that's a tough one.

    Oh, are they going to be full on backside magnets? Like, the entire back will be a magnet?

    It would be like, Rainbow Dash on a cloud and the cloud and her are one piece and I would make a refrigerator magnet out of that. Thats one I did.

  3. Before the dawn had broken through the clouds that sounded Cloudsdale, Nahima had just finished the packing the last of her things. It was a big decision to leave the place that she for so long had called home. She slung the saddle bags over her back and gave the belt a good pull. Without looking back her room, Nahima walked away from her old life to start a new one.

    Nahima had left Cloudsdale without so much as a word to her mother. It wasn’t that she was being rude to her mother; she just knew that it wouldn’t make a difference to say anything to her. Nahima stepped on the edge of Cloudsdale before taking the leap of fate. “Goodbye Cloudsdale.” She felt the warmth of the southern air current as she took flight. Not really sure where she wanted to go or how long it would take her, she decided to go where the winds were going to take her.

    ---

    Nahima had flown for over a day before she felt it was time to rest. She fluttered softly onto a white puffy cloud. She reached into her saddle bag and pulled out a map of Equestria. She mulled it over for a moment, her eyes scanned the map. “I should just be outside Manehattan. I think if nothing else there should be some good places to start my research.” She folded the map back up. With the wing to her back she took flight once again aiming for the city just in the distance.

  4. Absolutely my pleasure :} A historian of mysteries and legends would be quite welcome, I'm certain there is a lot of history Equestria has yet to uncover! We're cautious of what types of creatures/mythologies we allow in officially, but a well told legend is something that is always part myth and part truth, it would be interesting to see how those are intepreted by a historian. <3 I made a small edit on your occupation line to read "a" instead of "the", so that its clear your not the only historian xD And it looks good, thanks for being patient with us, we've had a lot of apps lately xD

    :3 Thank you for looking over it. I know you are very busy. I am glad you like the idea for the myth parts. I know that there aren't vampires, but that was the first thing that came to mind to explain. I can't wait to get started. I already have one person who wanted to RP with me and I am looking forward to it. *hugs* thanks again!

  5. I've sent a few suggestions for very minor tweaks; then you will be good to go :3 Go ahead and reply to let me know when you've got those changes, or if you have any questions, and i'll go ahead and stamp your application at that time :)

    Thank you so much for looking over my app. I made the changes with the great war stuff, I thought it was fully removed. I added a few more small things and I figured since we had other historians maybe I could be a historian of mysteries and legends. Not saying there are but like vampires, history on timerwolves, things like that. Again thank you!

  6. Magnets! How do they work?

    Right now I kinda cheat at making them, I talk magnets from phonebook calenders and glue them to my creations and then I laminate them. But I want to have a machine do it for me. They have a few on Amazon.

  7. Okay, I am going to ask for some help here! As some of you know I make papercraft ponies. I am going to start laminating them, once I get the laminator in the mail, but my question is this:

    I have a choice either to get a Sticker maker or a Magnet Maker. So which should I get and which would you like my papercrafts to turn into, stickers or magnets. Right now I can't do both I can only do one or the other. I wanted to do a poll but the button isn't working for me. So please put your comments below!!

    Thanks for all the help!!!

    *Update!!!*

    I am going to go ahead with the magnets. I will be making magnets, conbadges and bookmarks. Just as soon as I get my stuff in the mail to do it. If anyone wants to go ahead and do some pre-orders or anything please pm me :3

  8. Man says rattlesnake bit him at Wal-Mart in Wash.

    (05-14) 08:40 PDT Lewiston, Idaho (AP) --

    A man says he reached down to pick up a stick lying in the gardening aisle of a Wal-Mart in eastern Washington state, only to discover that it was a rattlesnake that then bit his hand.

    Mica Craig says he was shopping in the outdoor garden department of a Clarkston store when he was bitten Saturday. The 47-year-old man says it latched onto his hand and that he screamed, shook loose the snake and stomped it to death.

    The Lewiston Tribune (http://bit.ly/J4pfe5 ) in Idaho reports a bystander drove Craig to an emergency room in nearby Lewiston. Craig says he was treated with six bags of anti-venom and was told that his hand could be permanently disfigured.

    He says doctors expect him to remain hospitalized until Tuesday.

  9. Boy finds a piece of finger in Arby's sandwich

    JACKSON, Mich. — A Michigan teen made a gristly discovery after biting into an Arby's junior roast beef sandwich.

    Ryan Hart said he had nearly polished off his sandwich last Friday when he bit into something tough to chew that tasted like rubber, so he spit it out.

    Turns out it tasted like finger. The fleshy pad of an unfortunate employee's finger, apparently.

    "I was like, 'That (has) to be a finger,'" Hart, 14, told the Jackson Citizen Patriot on Wednesday. "I was about to puke. ... It was just nasty."

    The employee apparently cut her finger on a meat slicer and left her station without immediately telling anyone, said Steve Hall, the environmental health director for the Jackson County health department. Her co-workers continued filling orders before they became aware of what happened, he said.

    John Gray, a spokesman for Atlanta-based Arby's, released a statement Wednesday apologizing for what he described as an isolated and "unfortunate incident." He said Arby's is still investigating, but has determined that the Jackson workers shut down food production as soon as they found out what happened and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the restaurant.

    The injured employee was treated at a hospital. Gray said the franchise has fully cooperated with health officials and was given the approval to remain open.

    Ryan's mother, Jamie Vail, was incredulous. She and her friend, Joe Wheaton, had taken Ryan and his 11-year-old brother to the Arby's drive-through, and she said she thought her son was joking when he exclaimed he had found a piece of a finger in his sandwich.

    "Somebody loses a finger, and you keep sending food out the window? I can't believe that," said Vail. She and Wheaton said the severed section was about an eighth to a quarter-inch thick and at least one inch long.

    Vail said she called 911 and met police at a local hospital, where her son's blood was drawn and he was prescribed some medication.

    Ryan said he is feeling fine. Vail said she has been in touch with a lawyer, but has not decided what course to take.

  10. Teachers decide to "dance bomb" student interviews

    (CBS News) High school students playing pranks on their teachers is definitely not uncommon. But we're not interested in the commonplace here at The Feed. We like the extraordinary! We like it when "man bites dog" (not literally, though, of course). Which is precisely what this video of teachers deciding to "dance bomb" their students is. Check it out. Prepare to get your laugh on.

    So there seems to have been a bit of a glitch from 1:14 to 1:31, but other than that, totally hysterical! Of course I may be a bit biased towards this since I'm the son of a school teacher...

    The prank was played by history teacher Mike Penney at Abby Kelley Foster High School in Worcester, MA, and goes to show that your teacher may have more to teach than just their subject. I'd like to offer a triple-rainbow salute of laughter to all of these teachers who deserve an A in pranking!

  11. Ok, I started one of these threads in another forum site and it went over as a big hit. I wanted try it here. So what is the strangest news that you heard on your news, podcast, or any news feed?

    Cops: NY man shoots friend in leg at his request

    STOCKHOLM, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities say a northern New York man had his friend shoot him in the leg with a rifle because he wanted to know what it feels like to be shot.

    State police in St. Lawrence County say the shooting occurred around 5 p.m. Sunday in the rural town of Stockholm when 25-year-old Shawn Mossow of neighboring Norfolk relented to his friend's repeated requests and shot him once in the right leg with a .22-caliber rifle.

    The 24-year-old man from Norfolk is expected to make a full recovery. Police haven't released his name.

    Mossow was charged with reckless endangerment. He's being held in the county jail on $10,000 bail. It could not be immediately determined if he had a lawyer.

  12. Very first anime without knowing it was from Japan? Maya the Bee, when they had it on Nick Jr. waaaaaaay back in the early 90's.

    Then of course Sailor Moon and Pokemon, and then I delved into the wondrous world of anime fully when I started watching Cowboy Bebop.

    My god I thought I was the only one who remembered Maya the bee!

    But as for my first Anime, it has to be just about every show from the 80s XD Voltron, Maya, Fairy Tales, you name it. Seen it all and its so dear to my heart!

  13. I think I would be a Pegasus. Because I feel the need to travel and to keep active. But I also think with the ablity to travel I would think I could be such a good writer (I love to write) because with all that traveling there will be great stories to write and tell.

  14. Oh my Celestia, that guinea pig herd! If Candlemare was still around she'd be going nuts over that!

    So...is the game fun? I don't see myself getting it or playing it, but I'm sure it's entertaining nonetheless!

    I haven't played it yet. But I plan to get it. I am waiting for some patch work before I start playing. I don't want another FF14 on my hands!

  15. If you are ready for final evaluation, please mark your application title with the [FINAL] tag.

    Just a quick thing I noticed. You mention a Great War in your application, but I am uncertain about how this fits into continuity for World of Equestria/Mane RP. The last "great war" was 1000 years ago against Nightmare Moon and there's no way Nahima's father could be that old. I'd take another look at how you want to spin this particular aspect.

    I went ahead and made the changes and I added the tag. Sorry about that!
