The final chapter....... Bruges in Belgium
... wonderful canals threaded through the town and walking was easy.
Our apartment was overlooking one of the canals and we were always hanging out the window enjoying the view. We had a large 3 bedroom so we had plenty of room for everyone and most importantly for Mike to cook for us. We were also close to the oldest pub in Belgium which has been trading for 500 years. Obviously, we had to check it out.
We walked the canals, shopped ...
Brugge - Are we able to top this little town??
... window shopping...the only purchases were food, of course :) Belgian cookies, frites, and waffles - all SO good, they must lace the food with something here! Street musicians are common here as well - the best of the day was this cute old man in a bowler hat playing some type of giant medieval music box contraption. There was a little crowd gathering around him, though he obviously chose the cutest audience member to help him play the song :) Lindsay's seductive ...

... double vodka redbulls the game was underway and Germany smashed Brazil a solid 7-1. I got to chat with a German girl who gave us some face paint for the game! With Germany sealing victory, it would only be a matter of time before we get to watch them play in the final in Berlin.
Bruges was a really nice town to have a break in after Paris, and now it was time to head off to Amsterdam!!!
Security incident. Evacuate evacuate!
... called Ribs and Beer. So after a small detour back to the B and B we took our seats at the restaurant. It seemed busy and the staff were friendly, and we were thinking, it's called ribs and beer we can't go wrong. And we weren't disappointed...it was amazing! I ordered fajitas...they came as make your own! I was given three tortillas in a warming basket, a large bowl of spiced chicken strips and peppers, lettuce, salsa, retried ...
Just a little bike ride to the beach ... or not ..
... to Bruges on time. Erin Suggested catching a bus back, but I wasn't so sure as I had not seen any buses on the way there. So riding it was, we set off I got into a rhythm and kept riding, Erin on the other hand was struggling. Eventually we make it back into civilization and Erin perked up as we cut through the city we hit a wall of people. Bruges had been quiet when we left but it felt like it had been invaded, there were English people everywhere. It we then had to get off and ...

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Don't read this at your peril
1. Right this minute, everybody needs to stop chanting that blueberries are healthy and full of antioxidants. The next person who announces this gets his or her nose poked with a fork. Please stop insisting that everybody join the blueberry cult. Yes, blueberries are fruit. Yes, they are cute. Yes, they are nature's M &Ms. But that's it. Enough already with the blueberries. (I carry the fork on me at all times; the tines may sting.)
2. If you are sitting next to a person who is driving, do not take a sharp intake of breath to indicate danger when another car passes too close, looks as if it might stop short or when the driver is turning into her garage. This is not helpful and does not promote safety; trust me on this one. It is annoying.
3. Do not say to any person who is more than 11 pounds overweight, "Kale salads are genuinely delicious." Any one over a size sub-zero (which is a refrigerator and not an actual size) already feels overweight and does not need to hear about salads. Hearing about leafy greens (or a certain berry we won't discuss) will only make the other person unhappy and be forced to order a sea salt caramel sundae with extra whipped cream as consolation.
4. Do not ask how lesbians have sex. If you don't know, it's none of your business.
5. Stop telling people that the hardest thing you do is not hard. Whether that is raising twins, maintaining a cheese-free diet, running triathlons, creating the perfect wildflower garden, balancing in three-inch heels or writing an exquisite book, you know it isn't easy. If somebody compliments you on your perseverance, stamina and talent, accept the comment with grace and gratitude. Do not diminish yourself or the other person by explaining how you do it in your sleep or while making fruit smoothies, which, by the way, are full of healthy ingredients.
6. Do not gawk at the poor soul who has been pulled over by the police. The poor soul is having a bad day.
7. Do not think it is OK for you to text at the table, at the wheel, at a meeting, at a wedding, at the movies, at a wake or on a date. Even if you're making eye contact and have that weird vacant smile people plaster on their faces while their thumbs are doing Riverdance, it irritates others.
8. Even when you speak ironically and with cool hipness about dumb TV shows you watch, you are still making conversation about dumb TV shows. Switch to another topic.
9. Talking about dumb TV shows is still better than talking about your most recent physical ailment. Yes, people would rather hear your opinion concerning Wife Swap than listen to a detailed report concerning your recent visit to the gastroenterologist.
10. Don't throw your gum out the window. Somebody will step in it or a bird will eat it and die. Gum lasts longer than any other substance in the universe. After Armageddon, the only things that will be left are roaches and gum.
11. Do not give replaceable lovers irreplaceable gifts. Offer to others only what you can afford to lose.
12. Don't be late. If you're going to be late, call.
13. Don't assume that your ex, your siblings, your parents, your high school classmates or your former colleagues have precisely the same memories you do.
14. Don't assume a plant is a good gift.
15. Don't be anybody's fool. Sometime it's appropriate to pick up your hat, say your goodbyes, and go — taking with you the small amount of goodwill and dignity you have left.
16. Don't repeat compliments offered to you by salespeople. Salespeople are trying to make a commission, and saying to your startled friends, "But the personal shopper said I looked absolutely fabulous in orange knit!" will only make them feel shy in front of you and need to lower their eyes.
17. Stop worrying. Tomorrow is promised to no one — not even those who subsist on a diet entirely of blueberries. Enjoy yourself right this minute.

Best Buy, Samsung, and Westinghouse named in copyright infringement case
Despite the fact that open source software is free, the software does have limitations on how it can be used. Best Buy, Samsung, and Westinghouse along with 11 other companies have been named as defendants in a copyright infringement suit.
The suit was filed in New York City by the Software Freedom Law Center. The SFLC is a pro-bono firm that offers legal assistance to developers of free and open source software. The firm alleges that it has tried to contact the firms named in the suit several times and has been unsuccessful.
The suit alleges that the companies are violating the copyright on the Linux BusyBox software. Best Buy uses the software on its Insignia Blu-ray player, Samsung uses it on HDTVs, and Westinghouse uses the software on one of its TVs. Exactly what the plaintiff is after in the suit is unknown.

Apple says no to Intel Arrandale rumor
If you are looking forward to those new Intel Arrandale Core i5 and i7 mobile CPUs with the integrated graphics and are a Mac fan, we may have some bad news for you. A new rumor is floating around that claims the processor will not make it into Mac notebooks.
According to the rumor, Apple has passed on the Arrandale processors because they feature an integrated GPU. The rumor claims that Apple is asking for a version of the processors that has no integrated graphics.
Presumably, this request is to make things easier on its discrete GPUs like the NVIDIA 9400. Apple has used custom Intel CPUs in the past the MacBook Air used one.

Samsung becomes first to produce 30nm 3-bit NAND chips
NAND chips find their way into all sorts of computer accessories and storage devices. The NAND memory is often used in flash drives and memory cards. Samsung has announced that it is first to go into production with a new class of NAND chips.
The NAND chips are built on a 30nm process and use 3-bit per cell MLC technology. The 3-bit design offers up to 50% more efficient data storage compared to the 2-bit NAND chips commonly used today.
Samsung reports that the new NAND chips will be first used in USB drives and in microSD cards for data storage. There is no word on when we can expect to see products using the new NAND on the market.

eBay and Amazon Shares rise on Cyber Monday
Both Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) have come out for the better after Cyber Monday with both companies share pricing heading north thanks to word that online retail sales were on the rise when compared to the same day last year. There's also no doubt that word on the Kindle and its success for Amazon helped a lot when it came to the bump in share price.
Cyber Monday has been around since 2005 when used by Shop.org, who are part of the National Retail Federation. It's the following Monday after Black Friday, which is one of the most important shopping days for American retailers and marks the launch of the holiday shopping season.
Not all online retailers felt the increase in share prices though with overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK) and Blue Nile (NASDAQ: NILE), another two large online retailers, not getting any movement with both prices falling slightly.

Call of Duty franchise racks up $3B in global sales
My fascination with computers and hardware came out of a fascination with video games. I started on consoles and migrated to gaming PCs as time went by. Eventually the PC and its related hardware were as interesting to me as video games, such is the evolution of many a gamer and hardware enthusiast.
Of all the video games I have played over the years, some of my most favorite have been in the Call of Duty franchise. The latest game in the franchise, Modern Warfare 2 launched this month and racked up over $500 million in sales during its first five days of availability.
Activision has now announced that the entire Call of Duty franchise has surpassed $3 billion in sales around the world. That is a lot of video games sold and makes the franchise one of the most successful ever. It should also guarantee that fans have new CoD games to play for the foreseeable future.

Mininova cleans itself out and goes legal-only
This might come as a bit of a shock to die hard torrent lovers; turns out Mininova, one of the most popular torrent trackers on the net, has officially just gone legit and thus limits its activities to a content distribution service.
Mininova first launched their content distribution service in 2007 which allows producers and artists to easily distribute their content for free through Mininova.
The launch of Content Distribution has proven to be a success. Countless content owners have used Content Distribution to distribute their content (e.g. albums and documentaries) for free to millions of users. For example, the Dutch band Silence is Sexy released their complete album on Mininova and received the Interactive Award 2009 for doing so. The Dutch television broadcaster VPRO decided to start using Content Distribution in 2009 in order to distribute documentaries.
But I'm sure there's many sad faces out there after reading this. No more downloads of your favourite TV shows etc. - With that said, though, there's a large amount of others out there to use ;)

Shuttle to offer 50% off for Black Friday
Shuttle is well known for making its line of XPS computers that include some AIO machines and several cool SFF PCs aimed at gamers and other computer users. With Black Friday this week and Cyber Monday coming next week the deals are rolling in.
Shuttle has announced that it will be offering up to 50% off some of its XPS computers at select retailers. Exactly what retailers will be giving the deals are unknown, Shuttle won't say just yet. I bet its Newegg or TigerDirect.
"We cannot release yet which stores will have these deals, but expect it to be at one of the major retailers or online retailers," said Nicolas Villalobos, Manager at Shuttle Computer Group in Los Angeles, "If anything, one of the popular deal sites who are aggressively tracking Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals should have this information once it's available. Just know that it will be 'Pink'."

No warranty love for smoking Mac owners
If you are a Mac owner who smokes cigarettes and you need warranty work you may be out of luck. According to reports form Bit-tech some Mac owners have been refused warranty work when the PC was found to have been used in a home or office where there was smoking.
The official response from Jobs himself, states, "due to nicotine being present on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's list of substances hazardous to health, Apple workers would not be expected to work with machines which were contaminated with cigarette smoke hazard."

Intel updates Q4 financial expectations
As you might have expected there has been some financial fallout from the surprise settlement between Intel and AMD. Presently AMD stock is up $1.09 to $6.41 (20.49%), while on the other side, Intel saw a very small gain of +$.03 (.15%). But this is not the only fallout.
Intel has just updated its Q4 financial expectations as they intend to take the hit from the $1.25 billion USD check to AMD all in Q4. They have changed their earlier statement to reflect a total R&D spending plus MG&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) to $4.2 billion (up from 2.9 billion). Tax rate is expected to drop by 20%, which is down from 26%. Everything else is unchanged.
Which brings us to the real cost of this. $1.25 billion is a large amount of money; make no mistake - this is not a small settlement. But in terms of total cost to Intel it is. By AMD agreeing to drop all of its complaints (although the New York case is still on according to AMD), Intel will actually save money as there has been a growing momentum against Intel. This means they would have more than likely lost their case In Japan and other countries that AMD was pursuing them in. The potential loss could have been significantly higher than what Intel is paying out right now.
Still Intel has been having a very good year and is capable of recovering from this event in any case. AMD on the other hand just got a nice check that represents a little less than half of their outstanding debt. We do have to wonder, now that Intel has agreed to abide by a set of acceptable business practices, if the suit in New York will also be dropped or settled quickly?
As we said before, the thing to keep your eye on now is the dispute between Intel and NVIDIA. The reason this is so big is that with the new agreement you no longer have to own a FAB to make an x86 CPU. This could open the doors for NVIDIA and give them the "in" they so often claim they are not even interested in.

HP buys 3Com for $2.7 billion
If you have money, they say the time to buy is when the economy is down. The time to buy a new car was certainly when the cash for clunkers program was running thanks to the poor economy. HP is taking advantage of the economy and has announced that it will be buying 3Com.
The deal values 3Com at $7.90 per share for a total value of $2.7 billion. HP says that the purchase will give it a much better presence in China and that it will allow the company to expand its switching offerings.
The merger will also allow HP to add routing solutions to its line. The deal is subject to customary closing conditions and has been approved by the boards of both 3Com and HP. Shareholders still need to approve the deal as well as regulators. The merger is expected to complete in the first half of 2010.

This new partnership, the Canadian Rail Research laboratory, is a joint initiative between the Government of Canada, Alberta Innovates - Technology Futures (AITF), the Association of American Railroads, Canadian Pacific, Canadian National and the University of Alberta.
The Federal Railroad Administration prepared a notice of proposed rulemaking that would require commuter and intercity passenger railroads to develop and implement system safety programs (SSP) to further improve the safety of their operations.

By Dee McCaffrey, Guest Blogger The high stress nature of the holiday season can make staying balanced through the holiday season challenging. Prevention Magazine online recently reported that 90 percent of Americans experience feelings of stress during the holidays. Whether it's caused by crowded shopping malls, traveling, or family relations, how we manage stress can affect whether or not we have an enjoyable holiday season or an undesirable holiday. However, there is a solution! Including some of the holiday's best stress-relieving foods as part of regular meals is a great way to maintain a feeling of calm and balance. Eating high energy and nutritious foods can help potentially stressful situations, because these foods provide us with the energy and stamina to cope. Which foods are the best for relieving stress? Those that contain high amounts of B-complex vitamins, vitamins C and E, and those that contain minerals like manganese, selenium … Read More
By KC Miller Imagine a gate that connects the mysteries of the heavens to what we could manifest here on earth. Just the thought of such a portal sounds kind of Star Wars-like, doesn't it? And yet, there is a potent ear point that has been written about as far back as 500 BC in a timeless book known as The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, a compilation of acupuncture procedures that were practiced since ancient times. This mysterious point is called 'Shen Men', which translates to 'Spirit-Gate'. It is the point believed to connect heaven and earth, mind and body; it brings imbalance or disease to a restored balance and facilitates healing. It is one powerful point! 'Shen Men', also known as the 'Heavenly Gate', is located in the center upper third portion of the ear, situated at the apex of the triangular fossa. It is one of … Read More
By Sally Marks Anyone who owns or drives a vehicle knows it runs on diesel, unleaded, ethanol or even vegetable oil. However, when it comes to providing fuel for our bodies we might not be as informed as we think. A recent Consumer Reports study cited that nine out of 10 people surveyed thought they were eating a healthy diet, however, based on their age, height and weight, 36 percent of those surveyed were overweight and 21 percent would be considered obese. America is one of the richest nations in the world, but it is said to be a nation of the overfed and undernourished. With certain exceptions our food issues are not as much about circumstances as they are about choosing the right foods. Obesity is a multi-factorial issue, but the main culprit of an unhealthy diet is an excessively high intake of sweets and sugary items such as … Read More
By KC Miller Monday has a little bit of a bad rap! Often you will hear someone say: T.G.I.F (Thank Goodness It's Friday); rarely, however, do you hear, "T.G.I.M! I'm over-the-moon-excited it's Monday!" Let's face it – If you are going to begrudge Mondays you have a lot of complaining ahead of you because, hopefully, you have a lot of Mondays in front of you. So, what's the answer? F.I.T.Y.M.I – which means 'Fake It 'Til You Make It' – is one possible solution. While being fake isn't' really the message, the use of acronyms or mnemonicscan be a powerful way to remember to adjust your attitude as you face the week. The word 'mnemonic' comes from Greek mythology; there was goddess names Mnemosyne, dubbed 'the Goddess of Memory' whose claim to fame was sleeping with the Greek god Zeus and conceiving nine children. The children, all daughters, were known … Read More
by KC Miller, Founder of Southwest Institute of Healing Arts 'Don't dim my light!' was the warning Richard Seaman gave me as one of his employers here on earth several years ago. This affirmation was not in the least way said in a threating or condescending manner; Richard was just very aware that his full-time employer was God. Often without warning some amazing force would show up and come out of his mouth . . . sometimes with grace, other times with real raw honesty. Before long it became increasingly obvious Richard was on loan as an employee to the college and that his real job was to be a spirit-directed pot-stirrer. He was in our employ to shake things up, do things a little differently and to prepare for his next assignment. Richard has been very reliable in showing up to deeply touch the lives of many people, to … Read More

Our green, leafy friends lack faces and voices, but below the surface, they possess a surprising sensitivity and a desperate will to remain alive and unharmed. The New York Times questions the ethics of vegetarianism:
… Read the rest
Surely, I'd thought, science can defend the obvious, that slaughterhouse carnage is wrong in a way that harvesting a field of lettuces or, say, mowing the lawn is not. But instead, it began to seem that formulating a truly rational rationale for not eating animals, at least while consuming all sorts of other organisms, was difficult, maybe even impossible.
The differences that do seem to matter are things like the fact that plants don't have nerves or brains. They cannot, we therefore conclude, feel pain. In other words, the differences that matter are those that prove that plants do not suffer as we do. Here the lack of a face on plants becomes important, too, faces being requisite to humans as proof not only that one is dealing with an actual individual being, but that it is an individual capable of suffering.

Purdue Research Park-based LyoGo among competitors in 10-xelerator competition
June 27, 2011
A developer of drug-delivery devices based in the Purdue Research Park is competing against nine other entrepreneurial teams in an Ohio-based summer entrepreneurship competition.
LyoGo LLC, founded in 2009 by Rush Bartlett, Arthur Chlebowski and Peter Greco, is one of 10 teams competing in the inaugural 10-xelerator program that began June 13. Each competing team received a $20,000 grant to support business and living expenses during the 11-week development program. The program concludes Sept. 1 with the New Venture Showcase during which each team will present its products and services to angel and venture capital investors.
The other teams selected for the 10-xelerator program include Acceptd, adEvo, Biena Tech, Edifuneral, Flare Code, Kout, RenterCenter, Rewardster and SampleShop.
Greco said members of the teams interact on a daily basis.
"All teams have their own space in downtown Columbus, but there is a very open layout so we can easily communicate and collaborate," he said. "LyoGo is a life sciences startup, whereas most of the teams are tech companies building Web applications and services. This allows us to see and learn from a different type of entrepreneurship model that requires different speed and capital needs."
Greco said products and services available to patients must evolve as the health-care system in the United States evolves.
"Innovation in life sciences is driven by the pressure to reduce costs while maintaining profits for health-care companies as well as improving patient care," he said. "For example, when the patent life of a drug expires, companies rely on innovations to maintain a competitive edge. Our drug-delivery device is a cost-effective solution for drug manufacturers to differentiate their products, whether it is the branded or generic drug, to gain an advantage over competitors while simultaneously improving lives."
In February, LyoGo took the $30,000 top prize in the Gold Division for graduate and undergraduate students and faculty.
Greco received a bachelor's degree in management and an MBA from Purdue University's Krannert School of Management. Bartlett and Chlebowski are both pursuing their doctoral degrees in biomedical engineering from Purdue.
About LyoGo LLC
LyoGo LLC was formed for the purpose of developing innovative drug-delivery systems. LyoGo is focused on engineering delivery systems which offer a superior user experience, are intuitive to use, improve safety and sterility, and substantially reduce or eliminate the need for refrigeration at room temperature, which improves drug storage and distribution. LyoGo develops systems for delivering drugs that are intentionally designed to easily fit into the established drug-filling processes of leading pharmaceutical companies.

UNC Charlotte is on YouTube
Dance Department to Present Fall Concert
The UNC Charlotte Department of Dance will feature student ensembles in an exciting program of diverse dance styles for its Fall Concert at 7:30 PM, Thursday, Nov. 20, through Saturday, Nov. 22, in the Robinson Hall for the Performing Arts, Belk Theater. A 2:00 PM matinee will be on Sunday, Nov. 23.
Beginning with a famous 19th-century ballet divertissement and ending with an African-based work, the program also includes contemporary choreography by UNC Charlotte professors E.E. Balcos and Delia Neil, set to music by the Beatles, Bach and Yo-Yo Ma, as well as Martha Graham' s dramatic 1936 piece "Steps in the Street."
Tickets are $14 for general admission, $9 for seniors and UNC Charlotte faculty and staff, and $6 for all students and can be purchased at the Robinson Hall Box Office, in person or by calling 704-687-1849, or online.
Senior Honored for Community Service
UNC Charlotte senior Jameka Parker has been recognized for outstanding leadership and service by North Carolina Campus Compact, a statewide network of colleges and universities committed to community engagement. Parker is a recipient of the Community Impact Student Award, which honors one student leader at each member school.
Parker, from Fayetteville, is one of 18 students across the state to receive the 2014 award, joining more than 200 college students honored by the organization since the award was first presented in 2006.
A pre-service teacher majoring in middle grades education with a civic minor in urban youth and communities, Parker said she believes deeply in service learning, both as a civic obligation and as meaningful pedagogy. As a part of a community engagement capstone, Parker started a girl's dance troupe in a high poverty middle school with a curriculum focused on academic achievement, mentoring and self-esteem.

Should Justin Bieber Guest Star on Glee?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Britney Spears is booked for an appearance on Glee.
Might Justin Bieber follow in her (kinda trashy) footsteps?
In an interview with Access Hollywood this week, series creator Ryan Murphy was asked if he'd entertain the idea of Bieber on his Fox hit? The enthusiastic reply, according to TV Fanatic:
"I think he's so phenomenally talented and I think he's great. So, yes, if he was interested I would make that happen... the [cast sings] his stuff all day long. They sing 'Baby.'"
In just its first season, Glee showcased big-name guest stars such as Kristin Chenoweth, Neil Patrick Harris, Idina Menzel and Molly Shannon. John Stamos and Carol Burnett have already signed on for season two appearances.
Do you think Bieber, who will make his TV debut on CSI this fall, is right for the show? Should he take Murphy up on the offer?

OH Please GOD NO!!!!
I think justin bieber is having his momentary fame, but he shouldnt be on GLEE because his fame wont last for long, but GLEE would be remember forever, GLEE puts Famous people, not just a stupid 12 old boy who can barely sing. So I say NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Glee is about a highschool. Bieber is what, 12?
ola hello i love justin
No, no and no. Isn't his 15 minutes up yet?
No.Maybe. hes musical and talented and i him, but if u saw his true jackson vp episode, u will find out his acting skills SUCK

19w, 1dLove Songs in the Key of FiM: The Complete Album1 comments · 235 views
Since the album's finally complete, I thought I'd do a master post for it. One of the most interesting parts of the experience has been that, in reviewing the songs, I think my singing improved more than my guitar-playing did. I hadn't expected that at all—if anything, I thought the reverse would be true.
Also, the songs I recorded using an actual separate mic came out sounding worse than the songs I recorded using the built-in mic on my laptop. Go figure.

23w, 2dLove Songs in the Key of FiM: Complete!1 comments · 135 views
Some of you who've known me a while may remember my ongoing project to write and record a love song for every inter-Mane Six ship. Today, after almost two and a half years, I've finally finished. Here are the last three songs that complete the album. (As always, the entire album can be found on my SoundCloud page.)

"The Best Scare I've Ever Had" lyrics:
I wish I knew
Just what to say to you
But I don't
But I don't
I wish I knew
Just what to say to you
But I don't
But I don't
But if I did
Here's what I might say
The next time
You glanced my way
I'd tell you that
You scare me so bad
And it's the best scare
I've ever had
You always see
A way to believe in me
Even when I don't
Even when I don't
You always see
A way to believe in me
Even when I won't
Even when I won't
Even when I hid
That phoenix from view
You helped me out
And you got us through
And when you're near
I always want to say
That you scare me in
The best possible way
I wish I had
The nerve to come clean
To look you in the eye
And say what I mean
I'd tell you that
You scare me so bad
And it's the best scare
I've ever had.
"Everything's All Right" lyrics:
I've burned all my bridges
I've drank all my wine
I've cut out my own heart
And I've set it on the line
A laugh catches in my throat
When I say I'm doing just fine
While the tears in my eyes
Confess that I'm lying
But that's when you come to me
With a smile so large and bright
You take me into your embrace
And you whisper, "Everything's all right"
And everything's all right
You never, ever fail
You never let me down
I cannot help but laugh
Whenever you're around
And should I take a stumble
You pick me off the ground
Once I was blind to your charms
Was lost but now I'm found
And now when you come to me
Your laugh so big and bright
I pull you close and
I whisper, "Everything's all right"
Yes, it's all right
Princes are overrated
And sonnets are so cliche
I'll accept nothing less
Than a love limerick a day
And who wants red roses?
I'd rather a pink bouquet
Just one kiss from your lips
Leaves nothing more to say
Because when you come to me
Like a beacon through the night
I feel your shining love and it
Makes everything all right
You make it all right.
"This Is Not the End (It's Only Beginning)" lyrics:
I'm gonna tell you a story
That took place not too long ago
'Bout a girl who knew it all
Except for what's most important to know
Until the day she left
For a little backwater town
Just supposed to be a visit
But she stuck around
(I stuck around)
She pushed everyone away
Said she had no need for friends
But five ponies didn't listen and
Those same five saved her in the end
They became the best of friends
Together they went through it all
And maybe it shouldn't have surprised her
That she started to fall
(I started to fall)
True as the ages
Faithful as the sun
Giving with abandon
To each and every one
Sweet as the spring rain
Hopeful as the dew
You made me what I am
And I'm so grateful to you
So many memories
Battles fought, battles won
Hugs shared and tears cried
Each and every one
You were there for it all
And beside me you've stayed
You're the answer to a prayer
I didn't know to pray
And I love you
It hurts, it's so true
Yes, I love you
Nothing else to do
Because I love you
I'll shout 'til I'm blue
That I love you
Yes, I do
I'm gonna tell you a story
'Bout a girl who's still growing
With her loved ones there to help
Teach her the things worth knowing
They're still the best of friends
Together through all this time
And I'm still so grateful that
I'm yours and you are mine
I am yours and you are mine.

31w, 5hLove Songs in the Key of FiM: RariLight and AppleShy3 comments · 253 views
For those who may not have been around long enough to know—or who've just forgotten—I have a long-running project, entitled Love Songs in the Key of FiM, to write and record a love song for each of the fifteen different Mane Six ships. Up to now, I've posted songs for RainbowPie, RariJack, FlutterDash, AppleDash, TwiPie, RariShy, TwiDash, RariDash, FlutterPie, TwiJack, and ApplePie.
Here are the songs I just recorded and uploaded for RariLight and AppleShy. I am especially pleased with the RariLight song—I think it's by far the best I've written, so far, as well as the song that has my best singing.
The entire album can be found on my SoundCloud page. Hope you enjoy!
"Let Me Be Your Knight" (RariLight)
(YouTube) (SoundCloud)
SPECIAL THANKS go to EarthSong9405, who helped inspire this song during a conversation we had over on her dA page about Rarity and Twilight.
Once upon a time
A long, long time ago
Lived a princess fair
Beautiful, head to toe
Wise and brave was she
And strong and kind and true
With shaking voice she told me,
"Your highness, I love you"
"Let me be your knight," she said
"Let me serve you faithfully
To love a princess, not to become,
I know now is my destiny"
But I smiled in return
And gently shook my head
I took her hoof in my own
And this is what I said:
"I'm afraid you've got it wrong
Destiny, you see, is fake
Fate is not what happens to us
But is something that we make"
"You cannot be my knight," I said
"Because you're a princess to me
Let me be your knight, instead
And I will serve you faithfully"
"Let me be your knight," she said
"And I'll be your princess too
As long as you are by my side
There's nothing I can't do"
"Let me be your knight," we said
"To protect you like a mighty tree
And you can be my knight, as well
And do the same for me"
And so it was, and so it went
In that kingdom now long past
We lived well, and we loved well
The years went by so fast
I kept my word and my faith
And I stayed there by her side
"I love you," I told her
As she smiled before she died.
"Sweet dreams, my knight," I said
"Where you go now, remember me
And I'll remember you, my love
And how you served so faithfully."
"Never You Fear" (AppleShy)
(YouTube) (SoundCloud)
Step by step
Mile by mile
Hang on tight
It'll be just a while
I'll get you up
This mountain, my dear
Just hold on
And never you fear
Step by step
Inch by inch
Somehow I'll find
A way to not flinch
I'll save you from
This dragon, my dear
Just hold on
And never you fear
Stick with me
And I'll never let you down
I'd move mountains just
To keep you safe and sound
You give me strength
To persevere
And you chase away
The shadows and the fear
You chase away
The shadows and the fear
Little by little
Bit by bit
We'll figure out
How we each fit
Apples and animals
Both are near and dear
But we'll make this work
Never you fear
It's just a hop, skip,
And a jump to over there
Somehow I'll prove myself
Worthy to be your mare
Though the way is murky
One thing is clear
We'll figure this out
Never you fear
So hang onto me
And I'll hang onto you
We'll be okay
As long as we stay true
True to one another
True to what's sincere
So just hang on
And never you fear
Hang on, hang on,
And never you fear.

A number of TMP followers, however, have decided to carry on with follower-submitted prompts in the TMP group here on Fimfiction. The very first legacy prompt has been posted, and it can be found here.
Thanks go to Esle Ynopemos for running the prompt!

I see you're taking a foray into "the ship most likely to result in a thermonuclear disaster".
Oh good lord one of my favorite ships by one of my favorite writers.
Please excuse me while I lose my shit.
Your Twipie shipping feels like a twinkie to me.
I want it, and it tastes delicious, but I feel as though it's unhealthy for me.
I don't ship, so gaaaaah, this story. :(
No regrets.
Oh, Donny's Boy, it's here, it's here! Your multichapter TwiPie is here!
And I love how this works, with different pieces of the puzzle throughout the show's run. How we see things we've seen before from different eyes — Pinkie's perspective on "Winter Wrap-Up", Lyra and Bon-Bon's perspective on "Feeling Pinkie Keen" — and how we see new things, like what Pinkie was doing moments before being the first Ponyville pony Twilight meets. The collective perspective of Ponyville itself was an interesting touch, unusual but effective.
I look forward to seeing what other episodes this touches on; there are some obvious suspects, but I'm certain you will surprise me with others. I also can't wait to see what other perspectives we get a chance to view Twilight and Pinkie's relationship with.
"Caring so deeply about figuring out what makes Pinkie Pie tick that she'd play anthropologist."
Given the origin and meaning of that word, I have some trouble with it showing up in Equestria at all, but I used to fast-forward through The Wonder Years looking for anachronisms, so I'm not surprised that this jumped out at me.
Still, if that's the only complaint I can make about a story - and so far it is - I'm in for a good time, so up goes the thumb. And that bit about how Ponyville knows its own, even before the new arrivals do - that's just flat wonderful.
Good storytelling. Not necessarily one of my top shippings, but, I can see myself being interested in this.
Eh. Not quite.
The device of singing is so overly used, but what makes it worth it is a reference to a real song, or even an original one. This one, perchance, just takes from WWU. It ruins some of the specialness.
And assuming that this is indeed after Winter Wrap Up, how could Pinkie miss Twilight singing? Hmm? If her voice was really that good, couldn't she have singled it out? And when Twi' climbed the cliff, wasn't Pinkie on the cliff below it?
And assuming this is after the gala, same issue. Pinkie was around with her near the end as well.
It's a good, cute story, but a few logic failures. Just like My Little Dashie. Nice try, but no.
Hmm...intriguing to say the least. Twi-Pie is not something I get to read every day. Must track.
...um, the part with the Winter Wrap-Up song is when Twilight sings the Winter Wrap-Up song. During the episode "Winter Wrap-Up." This story is jumping to different points in time, exploring Twilight and Pinkie's relationship from different points of view.
YES. Donny's Boy doing a TwiPie story following the relationship through the canon show? MANY YES.
I highly doubt a feature in any case, however. Pretty much all my stories garner similar rating/favorite rates, and none have ever gotten featured. It will do well, but I highly doubt a feature of thus far.
Well, perhaps Bon Bon picked up the word from Lyra.
As for whether it gets featured, honestly I stopped caring about making the feature box once getting there became as much a matter of following whatever fad was popular that week as it was quality writing.
It's a decent story with an interesting opening; curious to see where it goes from there.
More TwiPie from Donny? Even though it's after 4 A.M. and I'm about to go to bed, it's taking an awful lot of willpower to not read this right now.
I wonder if the references to Rainbow Dash is to set up a triangle later or just to show that she wanted to be friends and Rainbow is special for that to be best friends (hence the later episode dealing with it). Kind of depends on what kind of story this is going to be.
Nopony expects the Pieish Pinquisition!
TwiPie is not one of my prime ships, but I really like what you're doing with the story. There's a similar... fragility... to both Pinkie and Twilight, a loneliness and difficulty to fit in that they share. I'm curious to see how this story will progress from here on!
theres never enough of this pairing
You know the few paragraphs that had the explanation of how ponyville residents know their own and how they knew Twilight must be one of their own? That had me steadily laughing louder with each word until I was literally roaring with laughter, beating on the table, while reading it out loud. That was pure genius, thank you for coming up with that gem.
I was a little disappointed that it's just been following the cannon story so far, but it's the first chapter so I figure it's just setting the stage as it were. It also lost me when talking about Twilight not "understanding" at the party while staring at Pinky. What wasn't she understanding exactly? It goes to the whole Pinky sense thing after that, but I'm not sure if that's necessarily what it was referring to since chronological order got a little skewed in some places.
Sorry, but when I read the beginning I had this tune in my head.
As Pinkie left the Cakes house, she made her way to the edge of town. She was lost in thought.
There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my Pinkie charms
I have seen grown mares give out a squee
With the wave of my hoof, and a well-placed cry
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet day after day, it's the same old crowd
And I've grown so weary of their mindless screaming
And I, Pie! The Party Queen
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh somewhere deep, inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
There's someone out there far from my home
A longing that, I've never known
I'm the master of punch, and an angel of fetti
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
To a guy in Pontucky, I'm the life of the party
And I'm known throughout England and Prance
And since I am pink, I can blend in to the party
To recite Hephner Quotations
No animal or pony, can dance like I can
In the fury of my recitations
But who here would ever understand
That the party queen with her seductive grin
Would tire of her crown, if they only understood
She'd give it all up if she only could
Oh there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears
Pinkie walked back into town, not knowing of the surprise that awaited her the next day, on the day of the Summer Sun Celebration.
>>838387 Last story I predicted was featured, but I might not be wrong this time, just wait and see!
Oh this shall be good me thinks! lol looking forward to more!
This story was recommended by Steel Resolve. A very good writer and recommends good stories. .
I enjoyed this. Look forward too more.
>>838387 You're trying to apply logic to a crowd]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrowdSong]crowd song.[/url] It doesn't matter where Pinkie is physically, when the song is going on everypony knows how it is being sung and what part of the song they are in. It's a magic all its own. Suspend your disbelief a little, you do it for the show don't you?
Heeeeeeello and welcome, everyone. This is my first crack at writing a multi-chaptered TwiPie story, so I guess we'll see how it goes!
Thanks so much for the comments and kind words. It's always nerve-wracking posting a new story, and I'm very pleased that many of you seem to like what I've got so far.
HA. A thermonuclear disaster of AWESOMENESS, you mean.
Shipping is magic, Obs! Do not fight it! (Hee.)
Heh, thanks for the vote of confidence ... but, it's funny, every single time someone has said that about one of my stories, that story has never been featured. It's almost like a jinx.
Thanks, Krizak! Especially good to hear your thoughts on the puzzle pieces aspect of the story and the shifting perspectives--it's kinda something new I'm playing around with.
I didn't mean to ruin the specialness of "Winter Wrap-Up" but had been hoping to add some extra perspective to it. I'm sorry if the main effect, though, was to ruin that very lovely musical number from the show. (And as a few others have mentioned, this scene in the story is actually set during that musical number--which is, as best I can determine, the first time Twilight sings in the show.)
And yes, I doubt it will get featured, as well. But that's okay.
Oh, I'm so glad you liked that part! I almost took it out, and now I'm happy I left it in. And there will be much of the story that deviates from the canon episodes in later chapters, I promise.
>>840107 I think what is always meant by that is that it should be featured. You write some of the best ships in this fandom Donny.
I like that you're following the series to show the development of their relationship. I also really liked that you're using different perspectives, too. I am curious though, to see how closely you stick to canon and whether or not your gonna wander away from it as the story goes on.
Overall, enjoyable read.
It's decent. A little disjointed and not always easy to place what's happening if you haven't seen the episodes in question recently (okay, most of them gave me no real trouble but I had to actually google dialogue to place "griffon a brush off" so I could figure out what Twilight was wrong about) but your characterization and dialogue are pretty good.
New Donny's Boy multi-chapter story?! Be still, my heart!
Also, Bon-Bon is totally a metaphor for this fandom, isn't she? Haha. Not looking at anyone in particular...
Seriously, I am looking forward to this one. I am a big fan of your longer stories. Always have been. And this one is looking promising so far. Keep up the great work, and I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter!
Ha! If I'm being honest, Bon Bon is a metaphor for me. Also, I just liked the idea of Romantic Bon Bon playing off of Skeptical Lyra.
And thanks! As per usual, I shall endeavor to not suck!
>>844352 Pfft. You never suck. Sucking is something I am yet to see you do, so lets up that goal, shall we? Let's aim to be awesome instead. Rainbow would approve! :D
Also, Donny's Boy is best Bon-Bon. Just saying.
I think the first thing that hit me about this one was that Pinkie Pie knows, with no self delusion, that most of the ponies at her party don't like her - or at least, they don't really want anything to do with her. The fact she knows that and still keeps trying says a lot, to me; she's throwing parties, and she wants people to like her, but she doesn't throw parties because she wants people to like her. That's probably obvious, but I still love it: She wants them to be happy no matter what, but she really, really wants them to be happy with her. It made me think about the start of A Friend In Deed, where she knows all there is to know about everybody - all I can picture now is her learning all these things, memorising them, caring about these people - and everyone just shunning her. Except Rarity. Rarity is awesome. And that's both horrible and amazing. Well done, sir.
The second thing I notice is you teasing me with RainbowPie that won't happen. Why do you insist on hurting me with your wonderful, wonderful stories, Donny's Boy? Is it because you hate me? Me, specifically? It is, isn't it?
Seriously though, the RainbowPie hints were excellent. And they made me very sad.
I also like Pinkie's reaction to Twilight and Spike. 'Yep. Feels important - friend time!' It's very Pinkie, and it's also kind of adorable and sad. Well done. I think my favourite part of this chapter might be the musing about Twi being destined for Ponyville, because it's so clearly true - Ponyville is a town of mad, mad, mad ponies. Awesome ponies. But mad ponies. And I can totally see them being able to peg the ones who'll stay. Heck, I bet Pinkie does it for them - she didn't rush to go greet Trixie, or the Flim Flam brothers, or any of the other one off ponies. Clearly, the welcome wagon is to be used only on permanent residents.
The whole Twilight reflecting scene is great, not just because it gives us some insight into Twilight but because - to my mind, at least - it draws a lot of parallels between them. It shows us that deep down, her biggest fear - even beyond not being seen as smart all the time, which made me giggle - is disappointing and hurting the ponies she loves. And those are, I think, the same things Pinkie Pie fears more than any other. Pinkie Pie is afraid of it because she's never really had friends, and she's scared the ones she has will leave her. Twilight...is scared of pretty much the same thing. Do correct me if I'm wrong, though - just how I read it. I like it. A lot.
"Pith helmets are totally romantic." had me laughing for about five minutes. I don't even know why. It was just hysterical - the whole scene was funny, but that's what made it for me. Love it.
And that last section? ...
It was perfect and amazing and I'm not sorry for a second that this isn't RainbowPie.
But don't tell anyone.
The last section was amazing though - I have to admit, I never really considered how much our dear Pink Pony would empathize with the song, and the meaning behind it. You pulled it off perfectly, and my hat is off to you good sir.
I look forward to more.
Aww, thanks for another one of your in-depth reviews! I'm glad you've enjoyed it thus far, heretic TwiPie though it is. And you are not wrong. For the record.
Thrown for a whirl there. But it was a good chapter. Nice work there. Few grammar issues.
Well now, things are moving into uncharted territory and it's looking awesome. I like how you made the inner group dynamics a little turbulent between some characters. It really made them feel alive and like you can identify with them as people more. Also, that whole train ride back from Canterlot where Twilight cries? That was some seriously powerful stuff right there. Especially with how you described it's significance from Spikes point of view. An inspired approach to that scene.
Only criticism I can think of is that the Bachelor party scene didn't feel as fleshed out as the rest of it. As in, why were they having it in Ponyville? Aside from the start you only talked about the gals, so I'm left wondering if Shining Armor was even there? I figured it was a mechanic to get the group out drinking but it still left me confused after that delivery.
Something tells me there shall be repercussions! Good chapter though. Fluid time skips and what not. Good job,
This was a great chapter. I always love me some drunk ponies and I like the way you wrote Dash's thoughts, she would consider a pony standing next to her as "basking in her awesomeness."
Drunk Twi is.......rather funny to try and picture in my mind's eye as well as try to give the dialog her voice as she talks in fluent Drunkenese as one would put it.
Also the chapter was quite good even if I have to keep remembering that the things do jump from situation to situation at times, perfectly fine mind you just need to change gears in my head from my normal thought processes when I read this. Fun though since hey change is good ^w^, keep up the good work.
Oh and I praaaayyyyy that Twi doesn't completely forget what happened and a bunch of drama comes of this due to her trying to rationalize what she did away as her only being drunk.......I don't know if I could handle seeing Pinkie get sad like that T^T. Well that and I'm pretty sure Dash would try to give Twi's face the most painful make over ever if it happened.....emphasis on try though cause not sure if she would go through with it or be able to do so.
Now that is some quality work. Good perspectives, strong emotions, and lines that bring tears. This is exactly what I hoped for in this project.
>>867099 Nah, nothing can hurt Twilight. Physically, that is. After all, she has magic to defend herself. She shot freakin laser beams in the season 2 finale.
Good, very good, however I did find one error: "and it hurt that you girls wouldn't trust you and hear you out."

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
"The Black Marble" centers around several days in the life of a Los Angeles police sergeant named Valnikov (Robert Foxworth), an incurably romantic Russian who has been drinking too much since his partner's suicide. He gets a new partner, Sgt. Natalie Zimmerman, played by Paula Prentiss as a combination of Sally Kellerman and Lucille Ball. His new partner thinks Valnikov is insane. Maybe she's right.
The case they begin working on together involves a prize bitch that has been kidnapped and is being held for $85,000 ransom. Valnikov goes to interview the kidnapped dog's grieving owner, an attractive woman of a certain age. And, in a delightful scene that illustrates the movie's gift of being able to slide ever so lightly from drama into cheerful comedy, he winds up on the sofa with the woman, drying her tears and vowing, "Don't worry; I promise I'll get your doggie back."
The dry tone Foxworth brings to the pronunciation of such lines is one of the movie's charms. He is mustachioed, mournful-eyed, usually hung over, and filled with ancient Russian dreams and curses. It is inevitable, of course, that he and the sexy Zimmerman fall in love, and they have a wonderful seduction scene in his apartment. He puts sweepingly romantic Russian folk music on his stereo. They dance. "Translate the lyrics for me!" she whispers into his ear. He does. It does not bother either of them that there are no lyrics since the song is instrumental.
Meanwhile, a parallel plot involves the evil dog kidnapper, played by that uniquely malevolent character actor Harry Dean Stanton, who looks and talks like Robert Mitchum's mean kid brother. Stanton is a veterinarian who has never hurt a dog in his life. But he needs the ransom to pay a gambling debt before he is killed. Coughing, wheezing, and spitting through an endless chain of cigarettes, he makes telephone threats to the dog's owner, who counters with descriptions of her own financial plight, unpaid bills, and tax problems.
When Valnikov and the kidnapper finally meet face to face, they get into what is undoubtedly the most painful chase sequence I can remember, a chase that requires them to climb mesh fences separating a series of savage and terrified dogs that snap maniacally at their legs. The chase is another scene illustrating the curious way in which "The Black Marble" succeeds in being funny, painful, and romantic, sometimes simultaneously.
The movie's not altogether a comedy, although we laugh; it's a love story that kids itself and ends up seriously; it contains violence but is not really violent. What it always does is keep us off balance. Because we can't anticipate what's going to happen next, the movie has a persistent interior life; there's never the sense that a scene is included because it's expected.
The performances go to show you that a good actor in a bad film can have a very hard time appearing to be any good. Foxworth's previous screen credits include "The Omen," "Part II" and "Prophecy." Neither film gave me the slightest reason to look forward to him in "The Black Marble," but he's wonderful here. He gives his character weariness and craziness and then covers them both with warmth. He and Prentiss have so much fun with the long seduction scene that we can sense the joy of acting craftsmanship going into it.
The movie's the second production by Joseph Wambaugh, the L.A. cop who became a best-selling novelist only to see Hollywood doing terrible things to his novels. Wambaugh vowed to produce his own books. The industry had its doubts, especially when Wambaugh hired a little-known British director, Harold Becker, to direct his first project, "The Onion Field." But that was a strong, edgy, effective movie, and now Wambaugh and Becker are back with this unusual and distinctive comedy. Because it is uneven and moves so easily among its various tones and moods, it's possible, I suppose, to fault it on form: This isn't a seamless piece of work, but it's infectious and charming.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...
