![]() ![]() Bewildered, she turned and galloped to the barn, fresh mud clinging to her hooves. She had only slept for about forty minutes. The confused mare groggily stood up and tilted her head up, watching the clouds. Startlingly cold rain fell rapidly from the clouded sky. Wind swirled and light chunks of an icy substance began to descend from above. "That darn filly can snooze through anythin', that youngin'!" Granny Smith would say.Ī crackling sound reverberated across the sky after a powerful strike of lightning, startling the farm pony. Who slept the entire time? - a little filly named Applejack, of course! ![]() Once, a hurricane while bellowing mighty roars of power across the farm and everypony crowded into the cellar. A cool, refreshing breeze pulled her into a comfortable slumber that swayed her busy mind and body.ĪJ was a heavy sleeper, at least, Granny said so. The pony felt her body grow limp and numb. The black void of sleep swallowed her whole. Applejack always thought her brother overworked himself, but when she brought it to his attention he would disagree and wave her off like a tiny flea.Īpplejack's thoughts slowly grew softer and quieter. Macintosh had left to finish cleaning up the barn and organize some tools. She allowed her eyes to slowly drift shut as she heard the barn door swing close. The stallion, despite the heat, remained wearing his heavy, smooth leather yoke. His orange mane whisked in the light gusts blowing in. The orange cowpony glanced over at her brother, whom leaned against the barn doors. Luckily, the sunset brought a nice breeze along, rustling the plants and cooling off the fatigued mare.Īnd yet, even on a seemingly perfect day, something would go horribly wrong. The soft grass brushed and tickled against her fur, which was moist with fresh sweat. The Cutie Mark Crusaders we're just returning from school, and as the three fillies sang and played about, there was an awkward and eerie feeling in the air.Īpplejack, whom was feeling rather exhausted from chores, rested beside a white picket fence. The birds silently fluttered into their nests. The sun was setting in the sky, painting the previously vast blueness a luxurious crimson, violet, and gold. "She is bad at jumping, and she always manages to break down barriers.It had been a beautiful day. "Applejack has invented a game, where you must catch apples with your mouth from a barrel full of water." It's in the fruit garden she has all of herĪpple trees, and she is the one who takes care of the garden." She was also in the Book "The Magic Nut Tree", "The Trolls and the Castle of Darkness", "The Cross weather Witch", and "A Shock at The Stable Show". Applejack was also one of the main characters in the UK My Little Pony comics. She was one of the six ponies featured in the "Seven Songs and a Story" My Little Pony picture disk and cassette tape released in the UK, in which she is portrayed as a clumsy and rather greedy little pony. She was one of four ponies who were captured by Tirek and turned into dragons to pull his chariot, though she would be successfully reverted. 2.14.4 Venezuelan Applejack White Squeaky ButtĪpplejack starred in the first My Little Pony Special (aka "Rescue at Midnight Castle"/"Firefly's Adventure").2.14.3 Venezuelan Applejack Yellow Squeaky Butt.2.14.2 Venezuelan Applejack Teal Squeaky Butt.2.14.1 Venezuelan Applejack Pink Squeaky Butt. ![]()

Thankfully the graphics make the game easy to follow and navigate around, with the camera deserving some praise for doing its job in terms of how easy it is to control, and a handy radar in the corner alerting you to where the threat is coming from. Some will try to overwhelm you simply with the mass of numbers, while others will be high life tanks, that need slowed down using walls and traps while you take them down. The first couple of missions act as a tutorial, introducing you to the basics of game but after that the game starts to ramp up the challenge relatively quickly by introducing enemies that will require various tactics in order to defeat. Placing something always costs you in crystals that you get from killing enemies, you also need food if you are producing any soldiers which you can get from building farms, so there is the small matter of resource management to consider as well. You can summon militia at certain points to attack hand to hand and in later levels you’ll get your hands on lightning powers to rain down destruction from the sky. You’ll build walls or archers, or place a guard camp or a trap all in the hope to either hold up the enemy so you can whittle down their numbers, or blow them up using explosives. The situations you are given are varied enough to keep you entertained and on your toes. You might have to simply defend your castle from destruction, or make sure some civilian has safe passage to the castle or defend an area from attack. Your role is to build a line of defence and fulfil certain conditions in order to win. The story won’t win any writing awards, a Dark Lord has decided to cause m ayhem and destruction and you are the target of his affections and his rage. Your aim is to wipe them out before they get a chance to do too much damage to your fortifications and your castle. Neptune Interactive give you the chance to defend yourself against wave after wave of enemies that attack your base. It may be frustrating, but perhaps in this way Defend Your Castle is rewarding as well.The tower defence genre is more popular on mobile phones and tablets than consoles nowadays, with some of the biggest names having mainstream television adverts in order to entice you dive in a build your empire. There is definitely some difficulty in this title, and don't be surprised if you play through a level several times. But I would exercise caution, especially to those who think this game is all fluff. Fans of games like PixelJunk Monsters will be drawn to its "defend the tower" style gameplay, and it is also fun for those who enjoy a quick pick-up-and-play experience. Overall, Defend Your Castle is a worthwhile title and a steal at only 500 points. So even though Defend Your Castle might be really fun, if your wrist starts hurting, give it a rest. Because the game relies on you licking your wrist very quickly, you may find yourself with one heck of a case of Wii-wrist after playing too long. It can really give you a headache.Īnother painful aspect of this game occurs after you've played for about an hour or so. These little noises can get annoying, especially during harder levels when things are going very fast and all you hear is a choir of fist pounding and little, stick people noises. The stick people make little "ouch" noises after you fling them the bombs go "kaboom" (there is literally a human voice that says "kaboom") and if you let the little people close enough to your castle you can hear them beat on it. There is absolutely no music, and the sound scheme relies solely on sound effects from the invading stick people and your own equipment. Most of your power-ups are controlled via point and click, except for the magic power-up, which is controlled via a double tap on the d-pad. You grab little stick figures with the Wii-mote and are able to fling them across the screen with a flick of your wrist. As far as control is concerned, this title is extremely simple. ![]() 3/11/2023 0 Comments Make money from home iwrite![]() ![]() This one actually took off, earning Phoenix two writing awards, a significant monthly income, and establishing her desire to keep writing on the platform. She persevered though, writing a more contemporary novel titled Year of Goodbyes, about a young single mother named Arabella who goes home to her small town to look after her ailing mother. She discovered the platform just as the pandemic was hitting, in late 2019, when she wrote a fantasy book about werewolves. I also spoke to an actual, real, human writer on the platform, who goes by the pen name Phoenix. A Case Study in How to Make Money Writing Fiction Any small incentive or reward will help me get my butt in the chair and write my story. ![]() Especially as someone who has learned how to quickly write nonfiction articles, writing fiction does not come easily to me. I just want to be rewarded for writing fiction every day. Sitting down to write the novel is the tough part. (I’m being a little melodramatic, but hey, that’s the writer in me.) As for exclusivity, I am not married to my first novel idea. And the idea of sending out query letters to agents only to get silence or rejection makes me want to perish, cold and alone. I know that for exclusive contracts, writers are offered a higher rate than non-exclusive writers.īut I don’t want to go through the tedious process of learning how to market a book on KDP or do the legwork to understand the Amazon algorithm. Royalty information was tough to find, since it appears to be confidential on the contract you sign. Non-exclusive writers can republish their stories elsewhere, but may not be able to remove their stories in order to be fair to readers who will have paid to access those chapters. Exclusivity means they authorize the platform the rights for distributing and publishing their books exclusively on those platforms. When it comes to rights, authors can pick whether to go non-exclusive or exclusive for a higher-paid rate. In answer: I might make more if I went with KDP, not to mention if I got a book deal with a traditional publisher. So I did a bit of research on the platform and whether it was a little too good to be true. Like any writer online, I’m always a little wary when I’m asked to sign a contract for my writing. (It’s also the one I submitted my sample chapter to!)Īll in all, it seems like a great way to start writing fiction. When I checked out the challenges, I was really pleased to see one specifically about LGBT+ romances in the Stary Writing Academy III, which is something I don’t see enough of in traditional media. ![]() (Or on the computer screen, as the case may be.)

3/11/2023 0 Comments Dave ramsey budget planning![]() If you can comfortably cover things like food, rent, insurance and other necessary expenses each month with just half of your income, this is a great starter budget to get you on the path to reaching your financial goals. Here’s how it works: Divide your after-tax income into three categories: 50% for monthly needs, 30% on wants and 20% into savings. This approach is great for people who have enough income to cover their necessary expenses and want to increase their savings while limiting discretionary spending. If your eyes are already starting to glaze over, you may want to consider a budgeting plan that is pretty simple and straightforward, like the 50-30-20 budget. There are a lot of approaches you can take to creating a monthly budget, but here are three that are pretty simple to implement and don’t require fancy software or even apps to get started: Step 3: Choose a budget that fits your needs If you earn a regular paycheck, this is pretty straightforward, but you’ll still want to include things like investment income, alimony or child support and any money you earn on the side. You’ll want to include your groceries, dry cleaning, morning coffee, lunches, drinks and dinner out - if you spend it, it gets included, so don’t forget things like your property taxes, holiday and birthday presents and vacations. ![]() Putting your monthly bills into a spreadsheet, an app, or writing them down on a piece of paper can help you better understand just where your money is going and where you might be able to cut back.Īnd don’t just put down your rent or mortgage, utilities, car payment and the like. While most people have a pretty good handle on how much money they’re bringing in each month, fewer of us are as clear on just how much we’re spending.

During the year he has been working on “The Look of Love,” he said he has had “maybe three or four rehearsals with the full complement of the 10 people cast in the piece.” Dancers missing rehearsals because they had Covid, the need to teach replacement dancers and then loop in the original dancers, the daily Covid tests: “It’s been tremendously difficult,” he said, on top of rehearsing rescheduled performances of “Pepperland” and other large works under the same uncertain conditions. “I’ve had despair,” Morris also said, but now he was talking not about Bacharach’s songs but about the process of creating a dance during a pandemic. “Rhythmically and harmonically, they’re thrilling.” The message, he added, is: You treated me bad as usual, “so goodbye, but I love you, question mark.’” “They’re all tragedy songs, and they’re all upbeat and kind of hopeful,” Morris said. So is the way that, by the time the instrumental break comes, those gestures have become choreographic motifs, deftly arranged to make musical sense. That kind of miming is a classic Morris device, which some viewers disparage and others love. On the word “heartbreak,” their fists tug their shirts at heart level. As Iverson put it, “Mark is very good with songs that tell a story.”Īt the start of “Say a Little Prayer,” when the lyrics are about waking up, combing hair and running for the bus, the dancers do those actions. In many ways, “The Look of Love” resembles not just “Pepperland” but most of Morris’s work to vocal music, whether Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys or Baroque opera. He gave us carte blanche.” In an email message, Bacharach said that what he has seen of Morris’s work online makes him excited for the show and that he feels his music is “in good hands.” “We were scared to ask about changing things. “I was like, Thank Goddess!” Morris said. For Morris, the most important part of the exchange came when Bacharach said, “You don’t want it to be boring.” Bacharach wanted the band to include a trumpet player, a crucial part of the Bacharach sound, and it does. Morris recounted a few Zoom sessions with the composer - “he was great and funny, and we basically saw the top of his head the whole time” - during which they discussed song choices and instrumentation. That song is in “The Look of Love,” too.īacharach, 94, has had minimal input. “Some people think it’s Easy Listening, but the details are subtle and very nerdy.” For example: the first measure of “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” Bacharach’s first hit with the lyricist Hal David, is in the unusual meter of 5/4. “But Bacharach is underrated, in terms of his sophistication,” Iverson continued. “These are songs you hear once and never forget.” “I would put Bacharach up there with Gershwin, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin as part of the American Songbook,” he said. ![]() Speaking over the phone while on tour in Germany, Iverson agreed. “People are always saying, ‘Oh my God, he wrote that?’ That’s why I’m doing it.” “This is great American music that people are either too familiar with or they’ve never heard it or they’ve never identified who wrote it,” Morris said. But in an interview after the rehearsal, Morris said the idea for a Bacharach show came first, many years ago, when Iverson was serving as musical director for Morris’s company and the two men discovered a shared love for Bacharach’s music. You might assume, then, that “The Look of Love” is a kind of sequel to “Pepperland” - similar time period, similar approach. The music is performed live, sung mostly by the Broadway veteran Marcy Harriell, and the arrangements, by the jazz pianist Ethan Iverson, take some liberties. Still, the weird version of “The Blob” was there to remind me that Morris’s take on Bacharach wouldn’t exactly be like the old records. It was Bacharach, after all: the theme song he wrote for the 1958 sci-fi horror movie “The Blob.” And the next songs were immediately recognizable: “(There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me,” “I Say a Little Prayer” and, of course, “The Look of Love.” These are the hits, and there are more of them in Morris’s dance, which his company debuts on Thursday at the BroadStage in Santa Monica, Calif., before taking it to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Then I caught a lyric: “Be careful of the blob.” But the vocals that the dancers were moving to in precise patterns sounded like modernist opera, not the meticulous 1960s pop that Bacharach is mainly known for. ![]() It was the last of day of September, and I was attending a rehearsal of “The Look of Love,” Mark Morris’s new evening-length dance set to songs by Burt Bacharach. For a moment, I had no idea what I was listening to. ![]() ![]() ![]() “It comes on the heels of a much bigger issue of gender discrimination and these girls being targeted and sexualized for being told that their clothes are wrong.

Unfortunately, we are learning a valuable lesson in the importance of process and understanding that the intent is not always the result.” He admitted that the review of the student wardrobe had been “insufficient.” ![]() Certainly, there has never been an intent to embarrass or shame any student for the clothes that they wear. Johns County School District Superintendent Tim Forson told CNN in a statement: “It is disappointing to be addressing the student picture situation in the Bartram Trail High School Yearbook. ![]() And this just goes to prove the point that a teacher made the call and was NOT based on this so called “violation of the student code of conduct.St. Women can be tools of the patriarchy, too, and what this Aunt Lydia did to these poor girls is gross. The school district told the news outlet it was a female yearbook teacher who made the call - though obviously that doesn’t make it much better. You know how we can tell they’re telling the truth? All these girls were allowed to wear those outfits at school all day and TAKE THE PHOTOS IN THE FIRST PLACE! Don’t even get us started on how they’ve likely been wearing normal shirts like those the entirety of the school year!! on that, saying no one said anything to them about violating the dress code in those outfits. Ugh.Ībout the whole “violation of dress code” thing? Many of the students and their parents are calling B.S. Where they should have memories of their freshman year to last a lifetime, these poor girls forever have a badly photoshopped picture reminding them there’s a big fraction of the world’s population that think their bodies are disgusting. The school is receiving feedback from parents/guardians/students on making this process better for next year.” At this point the school is offering refunds to any parents calling about this issue. “Bartram Trail High School’s previous procedure was to not include student pictures in the yearbook that they deemed in violation of the student code of conduct, so the digital alterations were a solution to make sure all students were included in the yearbook. In response to the story, Bartram Trail released this statement confirming what happened - but not apologizing: The boys’ photos, in which they wore Speedos - showing way, WAY more skin - were not altered or removed in any way, showing a clear sexist bias. It didn’t take much searching to prove her point.
