Twitter's Updates Ban Auto Follow Backs And Sync Direct Messages
Posted on July 9th 2013
Over the past week, Twitter has made a number of updates to its online service and mobile apps, improving search features and syncing actions across all devices. Twitter has also banned automatic following back from the site.
Yesterday, Twitter announced that direct messages would now be synced across all devices, so that if a user read a DM on their iPhone, it would be marked as read on their PC or Mac. Syncing will roll out over the next few weeks. Twitter has also improved the People search on phones: some results will show up with a full user bio and, by swiping the preview to the left, searches can also see related accounts. For example, if you search for Wayne Rooney, you might see Rio Ferdinand's account and the Manchester United account. Additionally, the app will update users with new tweets related to a search as they appear, allowing users to stay up-to-date with the conversation.
A number of improvements have been made to Apple devices. For instance, the connect tab on Macs now includes favorites and retweets, as well as mentions, but users can adjust the preferences if they want to see just mentions. Six new languages have been added to the Mac app: Danish, Filipino, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish and Thai. Meanwhile, on the iPhone:
[It is] now easier to reply to Tweets with a built-in Tweet composer that appears when you tap to see details. It's also easier to find accounts to follow with a new people button on the navigation bar, making the iPhone experience consistent with our Android app. Tapping this icon reveals a list of accounts that may be interesting or relevant to you.
Last week, Twitter published some changes to its Developer Rules of the Road and Developer Display Requirements, banning automatic follow backs in the process. Accounts that auto follow back are often guilty of spamming their followers with useless information. Twitter, a site renowned for having one of the largest follow back black markets on the web, is targeting fake accounts and spammers with the changes, which Sylvain Carle announced in the Developer Blog on July 3rd:
For example: we relaxed some display requirements around author's name, timestamps and permalinks; we clarified that the "no commingling" term doesn't apply to manually curated streams; and, we now require developers to disclose their privacy policies before people download, install or sign up for a service. We have also clarified some restrictions: hosting datasets of raw Tweets for download is prohibited, and automated following or bulk following is also prohibited.
We believe these changes will help provide a better experience for everyone using Twitter. Be sure to read the actual documents and use those for final reference.
On the same day as the changes were made to Twitter's rules and regulations, users began noticing that, as they composed tweets, hashtagged words were getting autocompleted, with a list of suggestions appearing underneath. The hashtags suggested are often trending hashtags, making it easier and quicker for users to join the conversation.
In related news, three university researchers claim that they have come up with a way of working out how often tweets will get retweeted, based on the number of times they have been retweeted in the first 10 minutes after they were published. According to Tauhid Zaman of the MIT Sloan School of Management, Emily Fox of the University of Washington and Eric Bradlow of the University of Pennsylvania, a tweet will have the same number of retweets in those first 10 minutes as it will forever after. So, if a tweet is retweeted 20 times in its first 10 minutes, it will be retweeted 40 times in its lifetime. To see some of their predictions, go to the "Twouija" website.
What do you think of the changes Twitter has made to its service?

|Bath sweeps Jefferson in baseball twin-bill
|Sunday, April 13, 2014 12:00 AM
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
BATH TOWNSHIP — Jefferson's baseball team faced two different style of pitchers Saturday afternoon in a twin-bill at Bath High School.
The result was the same: two losses.
Bath rode the 1-hit shutout of 6-6 right-hander Taren Sullivan in game 1 to a 10-0 5-inning triumph.
In the nightcap, southpaw Eric Jordan twirled a 6-hitter as the hosts grabbed a 6-1 triumph.
In the opener, freshman Jace Stockwell had the only hit for the visiting Wildcats against Sullivan (5 innings pitched, 2 bases-on-balls, 9 strikeouts, 1 hit batter). He, along with Nick Fitch, earned free passes and Austin Jettinghoff was hit by a pitch.
Freshman right-hander Hunter Binkley made his varsity pitching debut for the Red and White, ceding seven hits and five runs (4 earned), walking two and fanning two in 3 2/3 innings. Adam Rode threw an inning of relief (3 hits, 5 earned runs, 3 BBs).
Colin Gossard went 3-for-3 at the plate for the hosts (4 runs batted in, 2 runs scored), while Bronson Best was 2-for-3 (2 runs) and Eric Jenkins 2-for-4 (3 RBIs).
In the second game, Jordan tossed 97 pitches (57 for strikes) in giving up one earned run (4 BBs, 2 Ks).
Stockwell went 2-for-3 (BB), while Jettinghoff scored the only run.
Jordan Herron went four frames, yielding four hits and four runs (3 earned), walking two (1 intentional) and fanning two. Brandan Herron mopped up with two innings of 3-hit, 2-run (1 earned) ball.
Best (2 RBIs, 2 runs), Heffner (2 runs, 1 RBI) and Hunter Wise (run) all went 2-for-3 for the hosts.

This probably is the best hostel in the world! Jasmina is an excellent host and a very warm person. She even buys you burak and coffee in the morning (where did you ever find this?!), perfect start of the day. When you are planning to visit Sarajevo you should definitely stay there! Who is tired of Hostel Enjoy, is tired of life!!!!!

This hostel is perfectly located between the centre and the train and bus station. It's basically what used to be someone's front room, with a clean toilet and basic bathroom. It is small and friendly and very safe, but the main point is the lovely hostess Jasmina, who leaves homemade baklava and bosnian pies on the coffee table and treats guests to breakfast, local advice and even tours. If you are looking for a big party hostel with lots of people this is not for you, but it is lovely.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Executive summary: On February 5, 2014, members of the Tennessee Senate voted down an amendment that would have created a specific employment protection for gun owners. The amendment sought to add a provision to the controversial "guns in trunks" law passed last year by the General Assembly, which would have prohibited Tennessee employers from terminating gun owners based on their exercise of the rights protected by the guns in trunks law.
Legislative history: In 2013, the Tennessee General Assembly passed a law making it illegal for property owners to prohibit gun carry permit holders from storing firearms and/or ammunition in the trucks or other locked areas of their vehicles while parked on another's property. You may have heard that last year the Tennessee Attorney General issued an opinion stating that the new law did not have any effect on an employer's ability to terminate the employment of an individual who brought a firearm onto the employer's property in violation of the employer's valid no guns policy. Earlier this month, however, Tennessee Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey released an opinion from the Department of Legislative Services stating that terminating an employee for exercising his or her rights under the newly passed legislation would constitute unlawful retaliatory discharge under Tennessee law. Although indicative of how courts may analyze the new law, neither the Attorney General's opinion nor the opinion released by the Lieutenant Governor has any binding effect on courts going forward.
Employers' Bottom Line:
Although the Senate's failure to pass the amendment may appear to be a win for employers, the conflicting interpretations of the Attorney General and the Lieutenant Governor leave the issue clouded in uncertainty. In the absence of clear guidance from the legislature, it will be up to the courts to decide whether and on what basis, if any, an employer may lawfully terminate an employee who violates the company's no guns at work policy. In light of this uncertainty, employers should exercise caution before taking any adverse employment action against an individual who has violated the company's no guns policy. It would be wise to conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the violation and consult with experienced employment counsel before acting.

May 5, 2004
(Statenville-AP) -- Two moonshine stills and 12 marijuana plants were destroyed after a tip led officers to discover them on a hunting preserve in Echols County off Highway 94.
Echols County Sheriff Randy Courson estimates that a tank at the first still -- which was spray painted green and hidden under a canopy of pines -- held 135 five-gallon containers of moonshine. He says it's one of the largest stills he's ever seen.
The second still was about five miles away. Nothing was left but empty mash sacks and plastic pipes.
The marijuana plants were growing nearby in an old freezer turned on its side.
Courson says the destruction of the stills prevents the owners from repairing the equipment and reusing it.

TEAMS: Tennessee Volunteers
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee plans to redshirt senior forward Jeronne Maymon, who hasn't played all season after having a setback in his recovery from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Maymon, a second-team all-Southeastern Conference selection last season, will have one more year of eligibility remaining. "It's really tough to know that I can't be on the court with my teammates this season," Maymon said Sunday night in a statement released by the university. "But I have confidence in them, just like I have confidence in these coaches and our medical staff. I know this is in my best interest, and I am going to work incredibly hard to come back as an even better player and teammate next season. I love Tennessee. I believe everything happens for a reason, and I see this injury as a blessing in disguise. God does not make mistakes." Tennessee (8-4) hosts Mississippi on Wednesday in its SEC opener. When the Volunteers announced before the season...

Bottle: Poured a strong yellow color lager with a medium head with OK retention. Aroma is quite bland with some malt and very little hops. Taste is refreshing and quite crisp and I would say has more flavour then your usual macro lager. I guess this as improve since the last couple of year I had it before but it is still not great.

Got this at Massey Hall after seeing the Trans-Syberian Orchestra. Came a dark gold, autumn leaf colour with a sliver of a head. But the bartender poured it improperly. With the glass being a small size, I doubt she could have poured a decent head on it without it overflowing. Barley grain smell. A little sweet, a little weak. Kinda bland tasting. Sweet, chewy malt, odd aftertaste. It wasn't bitter, it was sour(?). Sour is the best word I could use to describe, and that isn't very close. Thin mouthfeel. The chewy malt adds a little texture to the brew. OVerall, it's okay. I've had better, I've also had worse. But next time I'm at Massey Hall, I'll order a Guinness, or maybe a Beck's if I haven't had it already.

Sampled off tap, a local dive bar just off campus at the University of Toronto. Pours a standard golden colour - no bubbles, no lace, very thin head that comes and goes. Aroma is almost non-present, which could be a good thing. Mouthfeel average, some creamy texture finishing on a lightly sour note. The little malt present in the taste stayed fairly clean. The drinkability is fairly good all things considered.
Not to attack the beer itself, but after looking around an entire junction of downtown Toronto, and this being the best beer I could find offered, is a very sad thing.

The appearance has a medium golden hue with zero head. This beer had a grainy-malty smell and had a corny-grainy-biscuity flavor, if that makes any sense. The beer has a medium body, and is quite filling
Overall, if you like traditional Canadian Beer, this is definitely worth a try.

I had a pint of this at dinner tonight, it looked ok when it came - a light amber color and small head. The smell was a little pungent, and quite strong. At first taste it was ok but as I went through the glass it got worse and worse. Had a strange chemical quality to it that was the most distinct flavour. It was a light bodied beer that was at least pretty drinkable.

A little darker than a macrobrew lager. Not much head, in fact it dissolved very quickly. A horrible burnt rubber smell greeted my nose almost immediately. This was verified by a beer drinking associate who said "ew". The beer tasted better than it smelled. I guess it would have to. Richer and maltier than a macrobrew lager. A little sweet for my taste but better than your average lager in my opinion. A little less fizz would improve the drinking experience.

12 0z brown longneck, I did not see any freshnes dating.
The beer pours bright gold with minimal head and lacing. Kind of your average looking beer here.
The aroma was grainy and fresh. No off aromas.
The taste is a bit sweet initially. It is mild with very slight bitterness late. Not bad, but not great.
The beer had very good carbonation, which canceled out the bit of thinness I detected. Easy enough drinker, but ultimately uninteresting.

Interesting beer. Although a bit too sweet, the beer is nicely clean and well-brewed to style. The beer opens up with a strong straw (nearly golden) color, and with lacking head retention. The beer stops shy of fizzy. The aromas show strong pilsner malt aromas and a touch of cooked corn. The flavors are malty-sweet, bready, yeasty, and with a hop-eathiness. The beer is a bit heavier than prefered for the style, but is a testimate to the bold malt additions. Finishes sweet, and bit oily, and heavy which hurts drinkability. I'm not likely to turn down a free one, but won't be purchasing any time soon.

Not bad. A typical lager, but very drinkable. Pours out to a a darker-than-usual gold with a slight head. Taste is quite malty for a beer of this style and is somewhat sweet. It appears that Upper Canada Brewing has a distributor in Michigan, so their products will be sold here. Cheaper than the usual mass-produced stuff too ($6.99/12). Very reminiscent of a Pabst Blue Ribbon, but a titch maltier/sweeter.

straw hue. A small and rough head with very little lace and not much for bubbles either.
Smell- There was definitely a grain smell to this beer that was very pleasant and long lasting. A touch of hops bouquet.
Taste- Balanced for the most part but bland . There is a nice grain flavored finish.
Mouthfeel- Average.
Drinkability- An average beer but easy to drink.

Surprise find at my local grocery store, last twelve pack of bottles on the shelf and at a price I couldn't refuse. Overall this is a decent lager slightly different than the more popular Canadian Lagers. The beer poured a dark golden color with a thick head that ultimately dwindled down. The aroma was crisp and fresh, malty with a slight grainy chaser. The mouthfeel is thin but this can be expected in your standard lager. The flavor is a pleasant surprise. Slightly malty with a very faint hint of sweet grain adjuncts. There is a small bittering finish that is also crisp to the palate. Nothing special but a nice and solid choice among many more popular brands.

Pretty good lager but nothing spectacular. Pours a golden color, some head but that fizzles away pretty quickly. Average aroma for a lager, there's not much there. This is pretty smooth and flavorful (for a lager), a little sweet and malty and a semi-sour finish. Aftertaste is pretty good.

Have I been taking crazy pills? This lager had an altogether different label and certainly a different profile than any I see reviewed on here. Maybe they have dumbed this thing down for the Cincinnati market. The color was nice and the head tried but was quickly gone with little or no lacing. The smell was ever so slightly sweet and grainy as well as the the flavor with a malty and breadlike quality. It was well-balanced as long as you aren't expecting any hops. But I swear they are using rice in this thing. In a blind taste test with Busch I'd have a hard time picking this one out. Of course it is Summer and this is a good thirst quencher. The price is certainly right. Quaff away if you must.

Decent lager, malt and bit of yeast taste. Malty sweet. Yellow straw color, lots of head initially that look like soapsuds and then dissapear. A toast crisp dry aftertatste. Inexpensive. Good Sleeman allowed this label to continue with above average runs.

Bay Area Food Banks' Summer Food program
The Bay Area Food Bank is partnering with more than thirty community organizations to serve lunch, breakfast and dinner during the summer.
The program is offered in communities where at least half the families qualify for free or reduced lunch during the school year.
Organizers say one of the challenges is finding partner sites.
Dave Reaney, Executive Director, Bay Area Food Bank:
"The need has always been more than we can serve, so for us it's a case of finding the places where the kids are in summer, working with that organization and getting the food to 'em."
If you'd like find a site or suggest a partnership, you can call 62613-32.
You can also find a site by texting "Food" to 877-877.

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
A feature about John Alvin, movie poster artist and the subject of "The Art of John Alvin."
An interview with Harvard Business School professor Anita Elberse, author of "Blockbusters: Hit-making, Risk-taking, and the Big Business of Entertainment."
The camera just stands there and gawks at Catherine Zeta-Jones, and so does George Clooney, and so do we. She goes on the list with Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr. It's not a long list. She has the kind of beauty that could melt a divorce lawyer's heart and soften his brain, which is what happens in "Intolerable Cruelty," the new comedy by the Coen Brothers.
Clooney plays Miles Massey, the millionaire author of the Massey Pre-Nup, a prenuptial agreement so tightly written that it has, we learn, never been cracked. "They spend an entire semester on it at Harvard Law." We meet him in divorce court, representing an outraged husband (Geoffrey Rush) who surprised his wife with the pool man and found that odd, since they didn't have a pool.
Massey is hired by Rex Rexroth (Edward Herrmann), who has been briefly married to Marylin (Zeta-Jones). She has a video, taken by her detective Gus (Cedric the Entertainer) exposing Rex as a cheater, and wants to win his millions in the settlement. Miles wins the case, so it's curious that Marylin wants to hire him to draft a Massey Pre-Nup for her next marriage, which will be to a gulping, blushing Texas oil billionaire named Howard (Billy Bob Thornton in full display).
Miles, who is already gob-smacked with Marylin's bewitching sex appeal, can't understand why she wants to marry a yahoo like Howard. Or, actually, he can: She wants Howard's money. In that case, why does she want the Massey Pre-Nup? To prove she really loves him, she says. Since she really doesn't, Miles can only look on in wonderment and admiration. He's fascinated by the brilliance with which she violates conventional morality.
The Coens start with nothing but ducks in this movie, and for a long time it looks like they're all in a row. Clooney and Zeta-Jones are both great-looking people, both smart, both able to play comedy, both able to handle the kind of dialogue fondly described in our nation's literate past as witty repartee. Both characters are sharks, but both are human, too, and their mutual sexual attraction is so palpable you could cook with it. Miles is moved with the profound admiration only one slickster can have for another; when Marylin actually inspires Howard to eat the uncrackable Massey Pre-Nup (with barbecue sauce), Miles realizes he is witnessing not just beauty and genius, but a will to challenge his own.
Plots like this have fueled lovely screwball comedies, and "Intolerable Cruelty" is in the genre, but somehow not of it. The Coens sometimes have a way of standing to one side of their work: It's the puppet and they're the ventriloquists. The puppet is sincere, but the puppetmaster is wagging his eyebrows at the audience and asking, can you believe this stuff? Joel and Ethan are bounteously gifted filmmakers, but sometimes you just want them to lay off the irony and climb down here with the groundlings. Their "Fargo" was a movie that loved its characters, and it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
It is hard to show the Coens' distancing process at work without revealing the movie's secrets, but let me try. The film is told from Massey's point of view. There is something that he wants: Marylin. He desires her so badly that in order to get her, he would balance the Massey Pre-Nup on his own head and crack it himself, with a hammer. We sympathize with this desire, because we share it. We want him to win her. The question is, does she want him? Of course she wants his money; that goes with the territory. But does she want to marry a millionaire, or simply become one herself? I was reminded of Lubitsch's great "Trouble in Paradise," which is about a con man, a con woman who loves him but can't afford him, and a rich widow who thinks she can buy him but would be happy enough to rent him for the season. By the end of that movie, everyone knows all about each other, and they accept the situation; if we cannot have what we want, they agree, let us at least be able to admire the way we behaved.
Miles and Marylin acknowledge their mutual chicanery. Neither one is very nice. But, aw, come on, when she walks across the room and his heart leaps up, or when she looks at him in a closeup that undresses itself, what makes the Coens pull back from this emotion? Why won't they give us the payoff their setup demands? We enjoy many turns of the screw in this movie, but there comes a time when the screw is seated and they keep turning until they strip the groove. We, poor saps, who invested our emotions in the movie, are hung out to dry. The materials are available in "Intolerable Cruelty" to create a movie with an irresistible comic payload, so why must they skew it into a warning against itself? That said: The movie has many scenes of delicious comedy, Cloo-ney and Zeta-Jones play their characters perfectly in an imperfect screenplay, and the man with the asthma puffer gets the biggest single laugh since the hair gel in "There's Something About Mary."

The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan was signed in 2006.
We can provide assistance for wildlife habitat restoration on private land.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program staff work cooperatively with private landowners to restore and improve wildlife habitat on their land.
We are in the implementation phase of this plan.
National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997: The NWRS Improvement Act defines a unifying mission for all refuges, including a process for determining compatible uses on refuges, and requiring that each refuge be managed according to a CCP. The NWRS Improvement Act expressly states that wildlife conservation is the priority of System lands and that the Secretary shall ensure that the biological integrity, diversity, and environmental health of refuge lands are maintained. Each refuge must be managed to fulfill the specific purposes for which the refuge was established and the System mission. The first priority of each refuge is to conserve, manage, and if needed, restore fish and wildlife populations and habitats according to its purpose.

These gloves are Sweet
By ROCKY
from Dayton, OH
These gloves are overall pretty sweet. They fit very snug and don't slide around when training or fighting. They seem to be a bit too snug in a few areas though. The most noticeable being in the fingers. My hands measure: Knuckle width- 3.5in, Wrist circumference- 6.5in, Distance from wrist crease to tip of middle finger is 8in. My old gloves by another brand were size small/medium and they are WAY too big. I tried the Hayabusa gloves in size Small to start but they just seemed too tight. I exchanged them for the Mediums which gave me just SLIGHTLY more breathing room. They fit very securely but still feel just a bit tight in the finger holes. Going up in size again would make the gloves too loose. Although I don't think it's necessary, if you wish to wear hand wraps with these gloves then I recommend going up in size.

Great gloves
By Sljz
from Clermont, FL
The gloves are made of good and lasting materials that seem capable of taking a lot of pounding. The strap system is great. The only thing I didn't like about them is that in some small places the stitching isn't in perfect condition.
solid mma gloves
By L.A.M.
from New York City
I use these guys mainly for bag work, but it is obvious that the gloves are made for much much more. That being said, I've abused these guys for about a month, on average 5 days a week and I can say they're a solid pair of gloves.PROSThe open palm design allows for great breath-ability, and sweat doesn't build up on the inside of the glove while keeping your hands cool.The double wrap around the wrist allows for extra wrist support, which is really great.The material is durable and strong. It can stand up to a great amount of abuse and sweat. The size of the gloves is nice and tight fitting as opposed to clunky and bulky, which is common among men's mma gloves that you'll find at your typical sporting goods store. The graphic design on the outside is awesome too, and my gloves are in white to add that little extra flare.CONSThe only slight con is that the sizing seems to run slightly small, which means that the part of the glove that should cover the second knuckle of each finger (not the knuckle you punch with, the one between that one and the fingertip of each finger) isn't well protected. Maybe I should have went a size up, but everything else fit so well, and you don't really think about that knuckle when you're trying on the gloves. Because those knuckles are not protected my knuckles got quite cut up the first week I used them. To prevent this I adjusted my hand wraps to include each finger and each knuckle. Now the gloves are working great . I have absolutely no complaints. So all in all a minor problem, easily fixed. Not worth a star deduction at all.
Best gloves I own
By none
from Abu Dhabi, UAE
Best gloves I own. They are true to fit, and have the best wrist support of any gloves I have used.

Miss Bury ready for carnival on Sunday
Updated 5:16pm Monday 2nd June 2014 in News By David Thomson, Reporter
TEENAGER Chelsea Edgar has a big local date in her diary — after fulfilling a busy schedule of events and engagements since she took the Miss Bury crown.
Chelsea's next big engagement will be as one of the guests at Bury Lions Carnival to be staged on Sunday, June 8.
The 19-year-old's most recent official appearance was to represent the town at the Miss England semi-finals in Nottingham.
Chelsea, from Radcliffe, and whose family live in Limefield Road, combines her Miss Bury activities with her fine art studies at Leeds College. "I have tried my best to be involved in the community, working towards a degree around the Miss Bury title," she said.
Of her experience at the Miss England semi-finals, the student added: "It began with a gruelling extreme fitness boot camp, where beauty queens raced to the catwalk to win a place in the final.
"I didn't realise how unfit I was. I would recommend anyone who goes through to the semi-finals to train every day for it."
Since taking the Miss Bury sash last September, Chelsea's engagements have included switching on the Christmas lights at Bury's Mill Gate centre, judging a "trashion" show and supporting recycling in schools.
She has supported fundraising for Cancer Research UK, launched Debenhams' swimwear and made appearances on Bolton FM.
Chelsea is encouraging girls who would like to follow in her footsteps to take part in the next Miss Bury contest, the final of which will take place at The Met on October 6.
She added: "If any girls feel like they would love to do something exciting, get involved in the community and make some brilliant friends, then they should apply."

Pinkie Pie: Fruit bat roundup, fruit bat roundup!
Written by Merriwether WilliamsnoteApplejack is up bright and early for Apple Bucking Day, the first day of the harvesting season. But, much to her dismay, she finds her apple orchard has been infested with vampire fruit bats that are sucking all of the juice from her crop. She gathers the rest of the Mane Cast and insists that the bats need to be driven off — besides just her livelihood, Applejack is concerned with protecting a giant apple that the Apple family is growing for a competition in Appleloosa. The ever animal-loving Fluttershy, however, argues that vampire fruit bats are vital to producing stronger, healthier apple trees, and suggests they build a sanctuary for the bats instead. To her dismay, Applejack does the better job of persuading the rest of the Mane Six that immediate action must be taken to save the orchard.At Twilight's library, the Mane Six come up with a plan to drive the vampire fruit bats away: after the rest of her friends round up the bats, Fluttershy will use her Stare on them while Twilight casts a spell to make them no longer want to suck the juice out of apples. Though reluctant, Fluttershy eventually agrees, and the plan appears to be carried out flawlessly. The next morning, Applejack returns to her orchard to buck the fresh apples from the trees, only to find them still rotten. Thinking their plan failed, she brings her friends back to find the bats are refusing to eat the apples — if the spell worked, then who's eating the apples now? Twilight decides that the only way to find out is to catch the culprit in the act. That night, the Mane Six patrol through Sweet Apple Acres, with Fluttershy unable to resist staring in hunger at the apples...Soon, Pinkie Pie discovers the culprit: it's Fluttershy, who's been turned into a vampire batpony! The others try to reason with her, but "Flutterbat" is only interested in draining the life from Applejack's apples. Twilight says that when she cast the spell, the thirst for the apple juice must have been transferred to Fluttershy through her Stare, giving her the ravenous hunger for fruit of the vampire fruit bats. After repeated efforts to catch Flutterbat fail, Pinkie Pie gives Twilight another idea: get Fluttershy to use her Stare on herself. The Mane Cast use the Apple family's prized apple to lure Flutterbat to them, then surprise the vampire batpony with mirrors, reflecting her Stare. This works long enough for Twilight to cast a counter-spell, turning Fluttershy back to normal.The next morning, the Mane Cast have finally taken Fluttershy's original idea to heart and set up a vampire fruit bat sanctuary in the orchard for the bats to live. Applejack and Fluttershy apologize to each other, Applejack learning that her short-term solution was short-sighted, and Fluttershy learning to stand up for what she believes in, even if it's not the most popular decision. Everypony laughs, none of them noticing the small fang still growing inside Fluttershy's mouth...
