MLP Translated to Hebrew and Airing in Israel
"The Israeli community just found out that My Little Pony is coming to Israel on December 14th!
The show will be fully translated and dubbed, unfortunately by a team that has a pretty mixed record of translations.
For example, they translated the "Grand Galloping Gala" to "The Horseshoe party" which sounds pretty bad in Hebrew, they translated Twilight's name as "קרן קסם" which means "Magic horn" or "Magic beam".
Additionally, the show will be aired on the "Hop" channel, which unfortunately is a TV channel aimed at babies / pre-school kids.
We're currently trying to influence the companies involved with the show in Israel to actually bother making it good, since Israel has a history of butchering translated shows.
Also, I've uploaded the intro for the show, which was publicized today: http://youtu.be/aVnSWzqach4
Overall, we're all quite annoyed over the news, but we hope to see things improving!"
Hope that the translation gets better in further seasons!

A New Brony Community Music Project by Exiark
A music artist by the name Exiark (formerly Soundspark, if that's familiar somewhat) has had a fantastic idea for a new track: one entirely created by the community! Those who want to contribute, regardless of musical skill, can download and edit the track however they want, then submit it to Exiark to be edited together into one final song! More details are in the video!

Everypony must then band together to found Equestria and defeat our windigo Piñata.

Come share with us your contributions to the world of pony art! The art show has two sections: One for pre-prepared art and one for art “speed-created”--that is, art done right there at Hearth’s Warming Eve! After a period of display, both sections will be opened for voting by all guests, and the winners will receive prizes and will also contribute points to their pony tribe’s total.
Video games

Brony Babscon Tattoo Artist helping friend for CHARITY
Although my friend I am trying to help is not a brony herself, I am, and I thought maybe I could see if the fine folks of our community could help me help my friend! Some of you may remember me as the pink mohawk sporting tattoo artist from Babscon! This wonderful woman and I have 25 years of history together, and she is the person that has shown me above all that friendship is truly magic. She has done more for me than I could ever truly repay or even put into words.
Right now, she is coming out of some hard times and struggling to get a car so she can transport her mother back and forth to the doctors after two knee replacements, and see her 9 year old son (who loves ponies!) who lives an hour away. She is not asking for much, and already has some saved on her own. She has roughly two weeks to get back on her feet, and this is what I'm offering.
For any donation 5 bucks and above I am doing sketches (digital or traditional) for the donaters! This is a great chance to get some cheap pony art, and the more donated, the more I will put into the sketch. Here is her gofundme: http://www.gofundme.com/ii2lus
All I require is a screenshot of your donation, and a short description of what you want. Please know I am a full time professional tattoo artist so if I get a lot of response it may take me a couple months to get everything drawn. All screenshots can be sent to my work email: kelleygtattoo@gmail.com and I will respond asap!! For those interested in seeing more of my work I have a public instagram as yearoftherat85
