Gallus: Alright, we have our plan. We’re not resting until Swift Foot is free from her father and back home with us. No one left behind!

Shimmy Shake: Hell yeah! Let’s do it!

Gallus: What the fu-?! When did you two get here?!

Lighthoof: We’ve… been here the whole time?

Shimmy Shake: Yeah, we’ve been part of the crew ever since Smolder, Cell, and Yona joined the cheer squad.

Smolder: I don’t remember that. Why don’t I remember that?

Ocellus: So… you two have just… always been there? Like… for everything?

Shimmy Shake: We were literally at Sandbar’s birthday party last month!

Lighthoof: I babysat your sister, like, a week ago, dude…

Sandbar: Oh, that settles it, they’re definitely part of the crew.

Gallus: Okay, okay, let’s just… accept the fact that these two have apparently always been a part of our social circle without our realizing it and move on. Any questions about the rescue mission?

Shimmy Shake: Uh, yeah, what are me and Lighthoof supposed to do? You left us out of your big plan.

Gallus: ……. Snacks?

Lighthoof: Oh, this is some bullshit…

The plight of a D&D ranger, feat. Faye Lighthoof

[glapplebloom]

My 400th Revisit.... AND IT'S THIS EPISODE!!! (Source: RoundTrip)

So Celestia started her own Buckball Team for her School for Gifted Unicorns. So Twilight got Ponyville’s (and the entire Sport’s) greatest Buckball players to teach her School of Friendship in two weeks. Twilight also asks Rainbow Dash to help with the Cheer Squad but Rainbow Dash doesn’t really get what the Cheer Squad do. And the rest of the episode is her unenthusiastically trying to help the Cheer Squad.

Let’s start off with one thing people seem to misremember: Rainbow Dash teaches Fluttershy how to do a good cheer. And what does Rainbow Dash teach Fluttershy that makes her a good cheerer? Being loud. And that’s it. She wasn’t teaching Fluttershy to be a cheerleader, she was teaching her how to be a good audience member. Because cheering with a bunch of people you don’t know is a totally different experience than cheering with a routine.

With a crowd, you just have to hope for the best that they’re as much into it as you are. If you want to do a wave, you better hope the others are willing to participate. If you want to sing along with a wrestler’s theme song, you better hope the others are willing to participate. If you want to do a highly choreographed dance routine, being loud is not going to help you. All Dash knows about cheering is that the audience cheers when she does something awesome. Not that Cheerleaders help make said audience more interested.

And still, all the blame for this episode is on Rainbow Dash when Twilight Sparkle should get equal or more blame into this. She knew Dash doesn’t get Cheer Squad. She knew this was going to teach Dash a lesson. So she purposely set this entire thing up so Rainbow Dash can learn a lesson. Well, here’s some news people may not really grasp: if you put people who don’t have a passion or knowledge in a field, you’re not going to get good results.

A perfect example is Foodfight: the horrible CGI movie. There’s a story in this documentary about how a lady was assigned Lady X because she’s a girl and knows makeup. She doesn’t. She was hired to do texture work. Also doesn’t help that she was also doing things like making backgrounds and animation and storyboards. And look how well that movie turned out considering I’m pretty sure the rest of the animation team probably had similar stories. Or worse ones considering one of the stories.

Point is, if you hire someone who doesn’t have the passion for it or doesn’t know what they’re doing, this is just going to be painful for everyone involved. So let’s try positives: Snips being an Assistant Coach to try to push Buckball sales in Ponyville is a fun idea. So he has a strong investment in them doing well since if nobody is excited about the games nobody would buy the souvenirs.

Lighthoof and Shimmy Shake are fun new additions since they’re really into cheering. And they’re not total jerks about it like other fictional cheerleaders. Also, I can’t help but think of Round Trip’s joke with them. Yona is great since she’s a powerhouse who wants to make a pyramid and Ocellus is there because she wants to stand out, above the crowd, even if she has to shout out loud, except she shouts as loud as Fluttershy.

And then Smolder being in this team willingly is a nice treat. She pretends she isn’t interested but whenever Dash doesn’t her true feelings show up. And it's Smolder who finally pushes Dash to really put 120% into teaching the Cheer Squad. So while Dash is shown at her worst, Smolder is shown at her best. And the story ends with the Cheer Squad doing well and Dash realizing this was a lesson.

Again, a terrible episode because you’re seeing poor kids being dragged into a lesson to teach Rainbow Dash “you don't have to care about a thing other ponies like as long as you care about the ponies who like it”. A good lesson for accepting people liking things you don't, not a good lesson about forcing people to do things they’re not supposed to do. You can care for the people who like things you don’t. That doesn’t mean you should be forced to do a job you don’t care about. Or in this case, in charge of something you’re not passionate about. That’s how we got Foodfight. 

You want a good version of this episode that teaches this lesson? WordGirl: El Queso Mysterioso. WordGirl is dragged along to a Magic Convention while Dr. Two-Brains is dragged along to do the Henchmen’s Crimes since its Henchmen Appreciation Day. But he is slowly won over because they’re enjoying it so much he’s enjoying this, which gets WordGirl to start enjoying the Magic Convention instead of accidentally ruining it for people. No need to remind people about abusive teachers like when this first came out.

Click here to see the original review and how it fits in GLAB’s Canon. Or I can just tell you the cliff notes version: the rewrite focuses more on the Cheer Squad trying to do things on their own before asking Dash to help, who does so because she thinks they’ll ask AJ since she’s better at cheering. See, no need for the mess we saw or even for Dash to be involved poorly.

Types of Drainage

Drainage is a vital part of landscape design. It helps prevent soil erosion and protects plants and animals. It’s often out of sight, but it’s crucial to your property’s health.

The components of drainage systems include an outlet at the lower end; a main and submain ditches that collect water and convey it to outlets; and lateral drains, which remove water from the soil. Laterals can be arranged in either a uniform or random pattern.

Main Drains

Located in the deepest part of the pool or spa, main drains are designed to draw water into the recirculating pump. When working properly, this is a simple and effective way to provide drainage solutions.

Pool main drains work off of the suction created by the recirculating pump to suck water through them and into the PVC piping that leads to the skimmers and the pool or spa’s circulation system. Unfortunately, main drains have also been the cause of a fair share of tragedies in swimming pools and hot tubs, including human and animal entrapment deaths.

Because of this, main drains are required to comply with VGB regulations aimed at reducing the risk of entrapment. To do so, they must feature dual suction outlets, a safety vacuum release system, or a suction limiting venting system to break the pressure buildup or limit the amount of suction that can be created when the drain is blocked.

A main sewer line, which is sometimes referred to as a sewage line, is the large-diameter pipe that all your smaller drain lines connect to. Wastewater from your showers, sinks, garbage disposal, and toilets all make their way down these lines to the sewer system or septic tank outside your home. If the main line becomes clogged, all the fixtures within your home will be affected. Often, this is the most obvious sign of a major problem that will require professional plumbing services to resolve.

Mud Drains

A mud drain, or area drain, can be used to help mitigate a muddy paddock problem by channeling surface and subsurface water to another location. They consist of a small underground catch basin with one or more drain pipes. A metal or plastic grate covers the drain in the ground, and the pipe(s) carry runoff water to some termination point-typically a street curb, municipal storm drain, or retaining area.

If a mud drain is not maintained properly, the piping can be blocked by sludge and other materials, which will reduce its efficiency in mitigating muddy conditions. Blocked drains can be flushed using a rubber drain bladder that attaches to a garden hose and when turned on shoots a blast of water into the pipe to dislodge any obstructions.

When constructing your drainage system be sure that the trench has good slope (1% grade or better) to ensure gravity does all of the work of channeling water away. Also be sure to use proper drain fill material. 1-1/2" clean natural round gravel provides the best permeability to allow water to flow freely and minimize blockages.

Be sure to check with your local utilities before starting any digging projects. The locations of buried electrical, telephone and TV cables and gas piping may influence your drainage plan. If you cannot get clearance, consider other drainage solutions such as trenching with Lighthoof.

Inclined Pipes

The inclined pipe is a common particle-conveying structure and is widely used in many industries such as boiler combustion, oil refining and solar thermal power generation. In these systems, the inclined pipe is often equipped with a valve that regulates the particle mass flow rate. During the conveying process, the descending particles oppose gravity by either creating lift and entraining the bubbles (dilute phase) or by sliding friction against the pipe wall (solids phase).

The different characteristics of the flow phenomenon in an inclined pipe-valve system can cause significant pressure fluctuations and severe vibration of the system. The aim of this study was to experimentally investigate the dynamic pressure and displacement features in an inclined pipe under varying particle mass flow rates with different valve positions. The results showed that the downward gas-solid two-phase flow in an inclined pipe could be characterized by three distinct flow patterns: creeping stratified flow, upward channeling flow and dense phase fluidization flow.

Statistical analysis of the interface wave type map reveals that the wavy interface shape is significantly dependent on the inclination and azimuthal angle of the inclined pipe. The interface wave height distribution and the liquid film thickness decrease with increasing inclination angle, while the interfacial waves attain higher amplitudes and lower propagation velocities with inclination. It is also shown that the Limit of Stationary Deposit Velocity increases with the inclination angle.

Subsurface Drains

Drains can provide drainage solutions for a wide range of conditions. The type of drain to use depends largely on the soils in the area being drained. Refer to soil maps available from natural resources or Cooperative Extension Service offices, and dig test pits where necessary.

A properly designed system will provide years of trouble-free operation as long as it is properly planned, constructed, and maintained. The design should be based on the water table level desired and a drainage coefficient, or rate of removal, selected for the field.

The location and spacing of drains depend on the soil types and conditions. In sandy soils, for example, drains should be spaced about 200 to 300 feet apart. In moderately permeable or clay soils, they may be spaced closer together, depending on the drainage coefficient selected.

Each drain should have a proper surface-water inlet, which can be a metal cone grate or a metal mesh, to float debris and protect the bottom of the drain. Inlets should be located on grades sloped away from the field to prevent silt and other materials from building up around them. A sediment trap should be used where water flows into a drain from above.

Each drain should be blinded and backfilled before work is suspended for a day, to protect the drain from damage during the construction process. The drain should be backfilled to a grade that is determined to give it the capacity required for the area being drained. Breathers should be provided to vent the drain and to assure maximum flow.

When they're not practicing for cheerleading, they're enjoying themselves at the beach.  It's gonna be mighty difficult for the guys to not notice them!   I had a sketch of Shimmy Shake and Lighthoof I made a while ago but kept putting off digitizing it so here it is now.  Summer's right around the corner and it is law that there need to be plenty of sexy pics of waifus in bikinis.  Shimmy and Light don't get enough love anyway so I demand people to draw more of these two!  They're heccin cute!!  

[prideponies]

Shimmy Shake and Lighthoof are both lesbians and dating!

[incorrectmlpstudentsixquotes]

Have you thought about including Shimmy Shake and Lighthoof from the cheerleading episode? I think it’s nice some of the student six got to causally be friends with other students

See, I was about to point out how it’d be hard to make quotes for them because they’re very minor characters that we know very little about…. But then I realized the hypocrisy when I make dozens of quotes featuring Luster Dawn and fricken Swift Foot, a character who only appears in a four issue comic mini-series.

So, yeah, I basically have no excuse…

I should have drawn these two cuties a while ago and I did have a sketch done but got lazy and never finished it till now.

Here’s Shimmy Shake and Lighthoof from “2, 4, 6, Greaaat”.  They were adorable and have such great designs!  Not the first time we’ve gotten some cheerleader ponies in the show, but definitely the cutest ones yet!  :D
