Author's Note:
This is chapter 1 of 4. The next chapter will be posted next Saturday.
Fighting King Sombra had been difficult, stressful and tiring, but Twilight and her friends were victorious in the end. Spike was even considered the hero of the Crystal Empire. It was a title he did deserve, but Twilight did start to worry the title might go to his head as they traveled home.
The cure to that was found in a simple game of catch with three fillies. Spike was a clever dragon for his age. Ever since he was a hatchling, Twilight had personally seen to his education. Checking in regularly with the local school teacher, Cheerilee, Twilight was informed that he was a grade and a half ahead for his relative dragon age. Twilight didn't take any credit for that. Instead, she attributed it to his diligence and love of learning.
But here, at an afternoon picnic with their friends, Spike wasn't thinking about that, or what happened at the Crystal Empire. Playing catch with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell, he was just another youngster growing up in Ponyville. It was often easy to forget that her number one assistant was still just a baby dragon. The sight of him just being a kid was a pleasant reminder.
Now it was time for bed, and Twilight looked forward to getting back to a normal routine in the morning. Spike came out of the bathroom. "Ready for bed?" she asked.
Spike walked over to her, bumped the top of his head on her shoulder and pretended to snore.
Twilight laughed. "I'm not surprised. You really wore yourself out today with the girls."
"Yeah, but it was fun," he replied.
She nudged him in the direction of his bed. "Well, go on. You got some lessons to catch up on and I've got some research to do tomorrow."
He trudged off to bed and tucked himself in. Twilight got into bed herself. She was about to blow out the candle when she felt a gentle claw on her hoof.
The sleepy little dragon looked up at her. "Hey, Twilight, thanks."
"For everything. For today, the picnic, but especially for carrying me home."
Twilight smiled. "You're very welcome, Spike. Don't worry about it."
"It's just that I was thinking, I'm getting bigger and you don't have to let me ride on your back. You could have just woken me and I'd of walk home."
She leaned over and put an arm around him. "It's our thing, Spike."
"I know it is, and I don't want you to think I take it for granted. It means a lot to me!"
"It means a lot to me, too, Spike. Now go to bed."
Spike hugged her tightly. "Someday, when I'm a big dragon, I'm going to repay you and your going to ride on my back. And when I get my wings, I'm going to fly you high into the sky and we'll fly circles around Rainbow Dash!"
"It's a deal!" Twilight smiled.
With a big smile of his own, Spike headed back for his bed.
Twilight blew out the candle and was about to draw the curtains when she noticed Spike getting out of bed again. "Where are you going?"
"To get some water," he replied as he went down the stairs. "I'll be right back."
"You know you'll just have to get up in the middle of the night."
"I know," he yelled back from the lower level. "But I can't sleep when I'm thirsty."
Twilight thought about what Spike had said as she waited for him to return. It would be nice to ride on his back some day. But it was not to be. Dragons lived much longer than ponies. She would not see him grow into a fully mature dragon. It was natural for ponies to outlive those who raised them, but in their case, the difference would be in the hundreds of years. The thought made her melancholy.
Spike came back up the stairs, glass in hand. He turned for his bed, sat down and drank his water. But as he lifted his glass to finish, he saw her sad expression through the bottom. "Twilight?"
She was jerked back to reality, "Huh?"
"What?" Twilight didn't want to trouble Spike with her reverie. "No, nothing. Just tired. " She yawned to make her point and lay back in bed.
But Spike wasn't convinced, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, what could be wrong?" But the tone of her voice betrayed her. She turned on her side and hid her face from Spike. "Let me know when you're settled in."
She closed her eyes and quietly sighed to herself. She waited for Spike's signal so she could close the curtains. But no such word came from Spike. Instead, her bed shook as Spike jumped on and he came up next to her. She tried to ignore him, but he just tapped his foot and waited. Finally, she had no choice but to turn around and look at him standing over her. "What?"
With his arms crossed and brow furrowed, "You wouldn't let me get away with that kind of answer. What make you think I'm going to let you?"
Twilight sighed again, out loud this time. "It's nothing, really. I'm just being silly. Now go to bed so I can shut the curtain." She turned around again and closed her eyes.
But Spike didn't leave. Instead, he sat down, crossed his legs and put a gentle claw on her shoulder. "You told me once that if something is really bothering somepony, it's never silly. Come on, Twilight, what is it?"
The dragon she raised from a hatchling had caught her with her own wisdom. As much as she wished he'd just go to bed, she knew he cared too much for her to let it go. Finally she had to give in. "Okay…" She turned around and sat up. "Look, Spike. It's really nothing and I don't want to upset you over it. Let's just go to bed and by morning it'll be all forgotten."
He looked up at him with those baby dragon eyes and she realized there was no going back. She pulled him in close and he rested his head against her cheek. "It's just what you said earlier. About giving me a ride through the sky."
"Yeah, what about it?"
"We don't know a whole lot about dragons. They pretty much keep to themselves. But we do know they live a long time. A very long time, and they grow accordingly."
Twilight hesitated. "So it means that by the time you're big enough to give me that ride, I probably won't be around."
Spike was confused. "Why? Where will you go?"
"Spike, you could live to be a thousand years old, maybe older. But 'm just a pony. I'll be lucky to live one tenth that long."
Spike sat up in alarm as she knew he would. "What? No! I mean, you can't…"
Twilight finished his thought. "Eveypony dies, Spike. It's part of life. You've seen funerals go through town."
He turned and hugged her tightly. "But I can't imagine a day without you, Twilight!"
"I can't imagine a day without you, either." Twilight felt a pang of guilt. She would never have to know a day without him, but he would spend most of his life without her. She held him tightly. "This is why I didn't want to say anything. I didn't want to upset you."
She pulled him away to look into his eyes and wipe away a tear. "Don't worry, Spike. That's a long way off. We're going to have decades and decades together. And long before you're that big, you'll probably be off on your own. You could be a librarian at Canterlot, or maybe you'll have your own restaurant. You love to cook and you're really great at it!"
"Yeah, but, I don't want to do any of that stuff without you!" he protested.
Twilight took his claws in her hooves. "Tell you what, I promise you that I will live long enough to have that ride though the sky and fly circles around Rainbow Dash, even if I have to live as long as Granny Smith to do it!"
Spike managed a smile. "You Pinkie promise?"
"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" She smiled and hugged him tightly. "Now go to bed, and don't think about it anymore."
Spike agreed and went off to his bed. As soon as he had tucked himself in, Twilight closed the curtain. But he did continue to think about it. He didn't want to live all that time without Twilight. And he didn't want her to die before he could repay her for all those rides on her back.
It was nearly time for Princess Celestia to raise the sun before he fell asleep. And it was nearly three weeks later before a solution to his problem presented itself.
Spike and Twilight had gone to the Canterlot Royal Library to research ancient spells. The head Librarian of the historical wing led them to a restricted section of ancient books where one needed special permission from one of the two Royal Sisters to enter. Twilight, being Princess Celestia's student, had that permission, and that allowed Spike, her assistant, to enter as well.
While Twilight searched down one aisle of historical magic, Spike searched down another. It was there he found a copy of Time Watcher's studies on Temporal Manipulation. Spike flipped through it, finding nothing on the kind of magic Twilight was researching. But he did find a spell that caught his attention, one that could age a subject. But the spell was easily disrupted, causing the subject to revert back to their original age. Still, if he could age himself, say, a hundred and fifty years, he would be large enough to have Twilight ride on his back. Just one day would be enough. And her birthday was coming up. What a great present that would be, he thought to himself.
Still, that left the problem of powering the spell. As a baby dragon, he had very limited magical power. And from the notes, he surmised a unicorn like Rarity would not be able to do it either. It would have to be somepony more powerful, like Princess Cadance. But would she help him, or would she say a theoretical spell was too dangerous to try. And as powerful as Cadance was, she was not a student of magic like Twilight. Truth be told, he probably knew more about the workings of high level magic than she did.
But there had to be a solution. Spike snuck the book onto the cart of books Twilight was taking back to Ponyville. And it was there he found a book on magical magnification. Another theoretical spell. But this one could take a small bit of magic, like his fire breath, and build it into something more powerful.
For weeks he practiced every time Twilight left Golden Oaks Library. He would go down to the basement and grow his fire breath into an every larger ball of magical power. But the larger it got, the more unstable it was. At one point, it blew up into a huge ball of smoke. Spike had to burn a batch of cupcakes on purpose to camouflage his failure. But finally he thought he was ready. And Twilight's birthday was upon them.
Twilight woke up that day to breakfast in bed, served by her Number One assistant. That, alone, was enough to make Twilight feel loved, but the baby dragon had much bigger plans in mind.
Rainbow Dash arrived just as Twilight was getting ready for the day. "Ready to go?" she yelled to the upper level.
"Just a minute!" came the reply.
Rainbow came close to Spike. "Hey, sorry I couldn't get you a ticket to the Wonderbolts Air Show. But they were kinda sold out."
"That's okay," Spike replied. "It's Twi's birthday, not mine. Besides, I got a lot of errands to take care of."
"I'll get you next time, promise!" Rainbow held out her hoof and Spike bumped it with his fist. Rainbow glanced up to make sure Twilight was out of sight, then turned back and winked at Spike. The whole exchange was for Twilight's benefit. Rainbow Dash would take Twilight to Cloudsdale for the air show while Spike and the rest of her friends prepared for a big party at Sugar Cube Corner.
Twilight came down the stairs ready to go.
"Are you ready for the best air show ever?" Rainbow asked excitedly.
"I can't wait," answered Twilight. "I've been looking forward to this all week!"
"Then let's go. I got the balloon inflated and ready for you."
The two mares turned for the door. Twilight hesitated and turned back to Spike. "I'm sorry you can't come. Are you going to be all right?"
Spike shrugged it off. "Don't worry about me. I got enough to do here and in town."
Twilight hugged the little dragon. "Thanks again for breakfast. I love you, Spike."
The two mares left. "And I'm going to love you in a big way!" he said to himself.
Spike ran down to the basement and pulled out the two books he had been hiding. He didn't even open the magic magnification one. He had that part down. He soon had a sphere of magical energy large enough to encircle himself. Now was the true test. A hundred and fifty years, he thought. Just how big would he be? At least big enough to carry Twilight, and then some. He couldn't wait to see everypony's reaction at Sugar Cube Corner. How much more could he help decorate if he could easily touch the ceiling? But it was Twilight's reaction he really wanted to see. She was the whole reason he was doing this.
Reading Time Watcher's notes, he carefully lowered the sphere of energy on himself. It felt weird. His skin began to crawl. But nothing more than that. A little more, he thought. He increased the magical energy. Then a little more. A little more. But as he increased it, it became harder to control. He felt like he was in a hurricane. He lost his footing and backed into the sphere. He felt a rip in his back. The pain distracted him. And that's when he lost all control. The sphere grew bigger and wilder. It started tearing apart the room. He watched helplessly as it reached an uncontrollable apex. And in an explosive flash, everything he saw was gone.
Rainbow Dash hovered by Twilight as she spoke excitedly of the stunts she had seen the Wonderbolts perform.
"Don't tell me everything," said Twilight. "Leave something for the show."
"Don't worry," countered Rainbow. "They always do new stuff!"
Without warning, an explosion from behind startled both of them, making Twilight stumble and Rainbow Dash fall out of the air. It was a large one. Instinctively, Rainbow jumped to Twilight's side and covered her with her wings before the concussion wave hit. Twilight put up a protective shield around them just as they were pelted by rocks and branches.
When it was over, Twilight lowered the shield.
"What the heck was that?" yelled Rainbow.
Twilight looked at the debris. What she saw made her gasp. Oak branches surrounded them. They both turned in the direction they had just come from. A huge, black cloud bellowed out from where the library should have been. Without a word, Rainbow Dash jumped into the air and flew back to Ponyville. With her heart in her throat, Twilight followed as fast as she could run.
When Twilight caught up, she was met by a sight she couldn't fathom. Nothing about it would fit in her reality. The Golden Oaks Library was gone. In its place was a blackened crater. Panic struck her. Where was Spike? No, no, no, was the only thing she could think.
"Twilight?" Rainbow ventured.
Twilight turned to the crowd that had started to gather. "Have any of you seen Spike?" No one answered. She turned back to Rainbow Dash. "He said he had some errands to run!"
"Got it!" Rainbow Dash flew off to the East.
Twilight would search West, but she could not take her eyes off the crater. "Please, Spike. No," she whispered. He had been working on something in the kitchen. But a gas explosion could not have done this. Besides, he had just made breakfast this morning. The more she thought about it, the more it didn't make sense. There was something terrible about the crater she couldn't explain. As she stood there, she began to sense something else. A black cloud formed above her. Not the one from the explosion, but one in her psyche. Now she had to run. Not only to find Spike, but to keep the cloud from catching her.
She ran into the heart of the village, desperately screaming out Spike's name. She questioned every pony she came across. Soon, between her and Rainbow Dash, every pony in Ponyville was looking for Spike. Sweat drenched her mane as she ran faster, criss-crossing every street and alley. Her heart beat harder and harder, threatening to burst out of her chest. She shouted louder as she came to the end of town. There was nowhere else to look. The black cloud moved in closer. Did Spike leave town? She thought. Did he cause the explosion and was now afraid to face her?
She ran back to the crater. There she was met by her five best friends. They had faced so many dangers together, but she had never been as terrified as she was now. Rainbow Dash had formed an ariel search squadron. Rarity had gathered every unicorn in town to scan for him. Fluttershy and Zecora organized a search party into the Everfree Forest, and Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie had been searching all outlaying areas around town. Twilight asked a barrage of questions and gave a flurry of orders. She was too busy to notice that no pony spoke a word on their own. But they dutifully went out and searched again at Twilight's request.
Her legs were shaking. She could feel the end of her strength approaching, but she could not give up. The cloud was encroaching again, so she ran once again into the village. The sun was now in the West. It must have been hours now, but it did not matter. Once again she found herself at the end of town with nowhere else to look. She turned back to the town, gasping for air. With what voice she had left, she yelled out as loud as she could. "Please, Spike! I don't care what happened! I promise I won't be mad! I just want to know you're all right!"
Every pony in sight froze in place, straining to hear an answer. But none came.
Twilight fell to her knees, exhausted, tears streaming down her face. Some ponies turned away, not being able to bear the sight of their beloved librarian in such desperation. "Please, Spike!" she pleaded again. "Please answer me!"
A few approached, offering Twilight their hoof. But in their eyes, she could see the reflection of the nearing cloud. Twilight bolted up and ran back to the crater.
What she saw filled her with anger. A small group had formed and some were laying flowers by the crater. She burst in, kicking the flowers away and startling everypony in sight. "What are you doing? We need to look for him! He may be hurt. Maybe he can't reach us. We have to keep looking!"
A weary voice spoke up, "Ahm… Twilight?" It was Rainbow Dash. Her eyes we red and puffy. She had a hoof around Fluttershy as the yellow Pegasus cried against her neck.
Twilight turned her anger on the two of them. "What are you doing here? You're the fastest pony in town. You should be out looking for him!"
Rainbow Dash left Fluttershy's side and approached Twilight. "We have, three times." She reached a hoof up to Twilight's shoulder. "Twilight…"
Twilight batted her hoof away. "I don't want to hear your excuses!"
Twilight turned to the crowd and was disgusted by the ponies just laying about in the middle of a crisis. One of them was Rarity, mascara was running down her cheeks. Some of it had gotten on to Sweetie Bell, whom she was hugging. Next to Sweetie Bell sat Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom held on tightly to her brother's arm as she cried into his shoulder.
Twilight walked up and kicked Rarity in the side. "You know how Spike feels about you. Don't you feel anything for him? Anything at all?"
Rarity struggled to speak between tearful gasps. "Of course I do."
"Well, it sure doesn't look like it!"
She then turned her attention to the three fillies huddled together. "And you three. You call yourselves his friends? He needs you, now! Why aren't you out there looking for him?"
The three of them pulled away in fear of Twilight's wrath. Only Apple Bloom could raise enough courage to say anything. "But Twilight…"
"Shut up!" Twilight boomed back. "I don't want to hear it. The three of you are pathetic!"
Rarity rose to her feet. "Twilight, Please! They're children!"
Twilight yelled at her, making Rarity turn her head away. But she stood her ground between Twilight and the three young girls.
Apple Jack watched the scene, trying to reckon what she should do. Twilight's reaction was understandable, but she could not be allowed to continue to hurt everypony in her way. AJ locked eyes with Rainbow Dash. Rainbow straightened herself and nodded back at AJ. That gave her the confidence to try to reason with Twilight. "Twilight? Twilight?"
"What?" blurted Twilight angrily, turning to AJ.
Apple Jack slowly approached Twilight. "Listen, sugar cube. We all love Spike and we have spent the whole day looking for him. I'm sorry Twilight, but he's…"
Twilight did not let her finish. "Shut up!" She shouted and struck AJ across the mussel. Twilight no longer had the strength to hurt Apple Jack. But it was the shock of her outburst that made AJ stagger. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Twilight struck her again and again.
Rainbow Dash galloped in.
Apple Jack was willing to take the abuse if it would get it out of Twilight's system. But her brother was not. Big MacIntosh stood up and wedged himself between his sister and Twilight. He stared down at the much shorter unicorn.
The set of his jaw made her want to fight. But the compassion in his eyes made her stagger back. "I don't need you. I don't need any of you. I'll look for him myself!" She turned away in a defiant gesture and instantly regretted it. She had been fighting overwhelming terror all day. But what she saw now in front of her shook her to the core, threatening to release that terror.
Pinkie Pie was crying.
Not the exaggerated burst of tears she had seen her hyper friend cry over ridiculous things, but a true, from-the-gut mourning. She stood between the Cakes as Mrs. Cake held her gently. Mr. Cake held her by the hoof as well. Then Pinkie opened her eyes and looked straight at Twilight.
Twilight wanted to run. Get away as fast as she could. But her body wouldn't move. She fell on her haunches, frozen, as Pinkie Pie left the Cakes and slowly moved towards her. Every fiber in her screamed to run away, but she could do nothing but stare and feel the oncoming horror.
Why was Pinkie Pie, her exuberant friend, doing this to her? She couldn't understand. As Pinkie neared, she wrapped her hooves around Twilight. Twilight could only stare as Pinkie embraced her. She wanted to scream, but could only manage a whisper as Pinkie's cheek brushed hers. "Pinkie, no. I'm begging you!"
Pinkie held her, then uttered the most devastating words Twilight has ever heard. "I'm sorry."
The black cloud descended upon Twilight and devoured her soul.
"No." It started as a whisper. Then Twilight spoke louder and louder until once again she was screaming, "No! No! No! No! No!" She pounded her hooves against Pinkie's back. But the more she did, the tighter Pinkie held her, and the harder Twilight struck.
All reason left her. She could not understand why her friends were moving in. Why they wouldn't let her run away. If she could only deny everything strongly enough, it would all go away. But it wasn't working. What magic lesson had she missed?
Then, along with reason, control left her. Her eyes rolled back into her head and grew a glaring white. A massive lightning bolt shot from her horn. It was seen from Appleoosa to Canterlot and was accompanied by a thunder clap that felled everypony nearby and blew out windows as far as a mile away. No pony was left standing, except for Pinkie Pie who held her through a second lightning bolt, and then as Twilight collapsed in a quivering, incoherent, mass.
The lightening caught the attention of the two Royal Sisters. It was the Mayor who first found her voice and told the Princesses what had happened. Princess Celestia cradled Twilight like a helpless child. Then the ruler of Equestria carried her faithful student to Fluttershy's home, which Fluttershy had offered. Pinkie Pie was rushed to the hospital. With both eardrums ruptured, she was left deaf. She was later fitted with magical cochlea shells. Pinkie would swear she could hear better than before, but Twilight would always suspect that Pinkie Pie was lying to make her feel better.
As the crowed dissipated, Princess Luna stayed to investigate the crater. It took all her strength to remain detached and clinical. She had promised her older sister she would do her best to unravel what had happened. Luna sensed a lingering magical energy, but she could not define what it was. The ashes were also strange, being all a fine, black powder. But it was a small discovery she found that finally broke Luna's resolve.
The appointed time had passed for the sun to set and the moon to rise. The Mayor went back out to the crater to see if there was a problem. There she found Princess Luna lying in the ashes, crying. In her hoof she held her sad discovery. Three purple dragon scales.

Para Resources Provides a Corporate Update
Company also Announces Appointment of New Mine Manager at Gold Road Mine
June 20, 2019, Vancouver, B.C. -- Para Resources, Inc. (the "Company" or "Para") is pleased to provide an update on operations as follows:
Gold Road
Gold Road received approval from Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") for a new secondary escape route from the lowest levels of the mine.
In Q2 of F2019 development advanced 614 ft in mineralized rock and waste with 425 tons of rock containing 39.5 ounces of gold brought to the surface and an additional 2,040 tons of rock containing 170 ounces of gold were stored in an underground stockpile.
Plan for Q3 2019 is to complete development work accessing the 900-Level, advancing 1,548 ft and mining 6,386 tons of mineralized rock containing 994 ounces of gold
The plan for Q4 2019 contemplates the production of 34,724 tons of mineralized rock containing 5,926 ounces of gold.
Additional funding will be required for the construction of the modifications required by MSHA. During this time, the mineralized rock will be stockpiled.
The modified plan will allow the mine and the mill to re-start in November at full capacity of 500 TPD with a stockpile already in place.
· The target total number of ounces to be produced in 2020 is unchanged at 35,000.
Management is in discussions with the major shareholders and others to provide financing to bridge the working capital and capex requirements of the new plan.
Manpower at the mine will be ramped up as development provides access to additional headings.
The new surface vent drift has been completed and the fan installation will be completed by mid-July.
The underground portable refuge chamber was installed and commissioned at the end of May.
The exploration drilling program on the adjacent Tr-Ue vein is underway with completion and results anticipated for the end of June.
Effective immediately, Mark Bren has been appointed Mine Manager at Gold Road. Mark has over 25 years of mining experience including senior management positions in both technical and operational roles, with strong experience in underground mining focusing on narrow vein projects, with companies such as U.S. Silver & Gold, Coeur Mining, and ASARCO.
El Limon
El Limon mine production is on plan and will grow by 50% by the end of June to over 300 ounces per month.
Cash flow break-even occurs at production of 300 ounces per month representing 25% of capacity.
For the current year to May, El Limon processed 7,166.4 metric tonnes ("mt") of rock, producing 778.8 oz of gold. In May of this year, 1,571.7 mt of rock was processed yielding 194.8 oz of gold.
The production plan for full 2019 contemplates 6,000 ounces of gold production. Target for 2020 is 10,000 ounces.
Three new mine portals on the El Limon vein are under development with completion and the start of production slated in the second half of the year. These three new mines will supply 70% of the mineralized rock and ounces in the plan for 2020.
El Limon alone is targeting production of approximately 40,000 tons of rock containing 7,000 ounces of gold in 2020.
Company crews have completed access to Level 9 in the El Limon mine and are currently completing development drifting past the El Limon fault to where the vein is projected to continue. Several major projects have now been completed under both schedule and budget and are presently operating as planned including the new tailings dam, the truck scale, and the mobile crushing and sampling system.
An "in house" designed and engineered recovery system was implemented in April to process and recover old (low grade) tailings. The preliminary results show high metallurgical potential and a treatment cost of US$ 3 per metric ton. Commissioning and optimization are expected to be completed in June. The system uses hydraulic classification and has the potential to increase planned gold production by up to 20% in 2020.
The formalization of the small miners operating on Para's property in Colombia has been slower than anticipated. A new task force team has been created in order to focus and increase efforts towards speeding up the formalization process. This additional feed material has not yet been included in the 2020 production plan and could increase production by 2,000 + ounces per year.
A new drilling program to support the development of the El Limon mine and the three new mine mouths is expected to be completed by the middle of July.
Geoff Hampson, Para's CEO, states, "The previous escape and evacuation plan at Gold Road, which had initially been approved by MSHA, was subsequently rejected by a new inspector. Unfortunately, the changes needed to address the new MSHA issues means that we cannot mine existing developed inventory from the 800 Level until a new secondary escape route is established from the 900 Level. We had anticipated being able to mine from the 800 Level during the development phase to the 900 Level which would have offset the development costs. Our new plan now contemplates the stockpiling of mineralized rock and increasing the available mineable inventory underground during the development of the entire mining block from the 900 Level. The total number of ounces of gold developed in 2019 is unchanged. The new plan effectively eliminates the ramp-up period from start-up to full capacity and creates more production flexibility." Mr. Hampson further states, "We expect a very strong year in 2020 with both our Colombian and Arizona operations running at full capacity."

Showing results for tags 'todoist'.
I recently discovered a quick way (though it may not be new) to post action items on Todoist using Evernote on my iPad for notes that I have captured and converted into actionable items. This is done by simply selecting the box with upward arrow in it and selecting Todoist as the app of choice. (It appears exactly like the one attached herein) I do, however, cannot find the same function on my Evernote App using Macbook Pro Retina. Is there a way to replicate this functionality, or am I just simply missing out something here? Thanks and appreciate your help! Cheers!

Faith No More - We Care a Lot (1985)
*First official pressing on CD. Contains 10 tracks total.
Genre: Experimental Rock, Funk Rock
© 1985-1996 London Records
AllMusic Review by Greg Prato
After listening to Faith No More's debut, We Care a Lot, it's hard to believe that this is the same band that we know today. They sound more like early Public Image Limited than the FNM that would eventually assault your senses with Angel Dust and Album of the Year. Obviously, one of the major reasons is because current singer Mike Patton is not on the album. Original frontman Chuck Mosley handles the vocal duties, and his singing style is the complete opposite of Patton's. While Patton is extremely talented and versatile (he can sing just about every style of music imaginable), Mosley's voice is often off-key, fairly monotonous, and colorless (but with lots of attitude). Musically, the group shows glimpses of the killer genre-bending band they would become in the near future. The original version of the title track is an anthem in typical, twisted FNM style: it contains irresistible melodies and riffs, but challenges you lyrically (the words deal with the hypocritical situation surrounding the millionaire musicians who participated in 1985's Live Aid concert). The song is still featured at their concerts, as is the keyboard-laced "As the Worm Turns." Other highlights include the furious instrumental "Pills for Breakfast" and the near-dance track "Arabian Disco." Although most of FNM's important components are present -- airy keyboards, tribal drumming, heavy metal guitar, and sturdy bass -- the big picture is not as focused as it would eventually be. And it becomes more and more evident that the missing piece of the puzzle is Mike Patton.

These two elements are further enhanced by the mirrored bottom that reflects the colours back up, intensifying the range of shades seen in this beautiful product.
Note: 'The chromatic effect, associated with the mirrored bases, bestows great depth to the pieces and a playful magical reflection'.
NENDO - Japanese design studio Nendo aims to reconstitute the everyday by collecting and reshaping them into something that's easy to understand. Oki Sato, who heads the firm Nendo, has been named by Fast Company as one of the brightest talents in a new generation of Japanese minimalist designers. Born in Toronto, graduated with a master's degree in architecture from Waseda University in Tokyo. Nendo was formed in 2002, after an inspiring graduation trip to the Milan Design Furniture Fair, and has since become one of the most prolific design firms in the world. In 2005, Nendo established its Milan office, and in 2012 it established its Singapore office. In Japanese "nendo" means free-form clay, a soft, fluid substance that symbolises the way the company's founders want to work. Nendo believes there are many small moments of surprise hidden in everyday life, and they want those who encounter their designs to intuitively feel those moments of surprise.

The goal of his research is to understand how impairment of protein homeostasis contributes to aging and age-related diseases like sarcopenia, Alzheimer's, diabetes. In last few years, he had demonstrated that accumulation of oxidized proteins as misfolded aggregates have significant role on onset and progression of disease. Utilizing various fluorescence based technologies which are developed in his laboratory, Dr. Chaudhuri has identified several target proteins that are likely be the instrumental in disease process. Most importantly, he had demonstrated using variety of long and short lived animals that oxidized aggregates are likely the key determinants of the aging process. He was also actively involved in comparative biology research using various rodent models, including the long-lived naked mole rat, as well as non-rodent mammalian models, including short and long-lived species of bat and non-human primate like marmoset to demonstrate that protein homeostasis and longevity are directly linked. Currently, Dr. Chaudhuri is actively involved in understanding the novel functions of a FDA approved drug which was not explored before.

XMC-1 to XMC-2 Trade-In and Upgrade Program
We're pleased to announce that, after careful consideration, we've figured out a way to sweeten the deal for XMC-1 owners who wish to upgrade to Dolby Atmos and DTS-X. Instead of adding four additional unbalanced output channels to your existing XMC-1, our new plan will enable you to upgrade to a new processor! This new model offers sixteen balanced output channels for Dolby Atmos and DTS-X, along with enhanced performance and features. The cost to you is the same price as we'd initially planned to charge for the less comprehensive upgrade. We think this new plan is a clear win-win situation for both Emotiva and our loyal customers.
As you probably know, we've planned all along to offer XMC-1 owners an upgrade path that would enable them to upgrade their XMC-1 to support Dolby Atmos and DTS-X. Our original plan was to offer this upgrade in the form of a replacement processor board. The planned processor upgrade would have required factory installation, would have only been available on units with the latest 4k HDMI video board already installed, and would have added four additional unbalanced audio outputs – for a total of 7.2.4 channels - which could be used to provide up to four additional height channels for Dolby Atmos and DTS-X. Owners of older XMC-1 units, which did not include the latest 4k HDMI 2.0b video card, would have been required to purchase the 4k HDMI video upgrade as a prerequisite to obtaining the processor upgrade.
We have officially discontinued sales of the XMC-1, and are in the process of ramping up production on its replacement – the XMC-2. The XMC-2 is a new and improved model, which includes a full sixteen channels of Dolby Atmos and DTS-X support, all with balanced audio outputs, as well as the latest 4k HDMI video support, enhanced performance, and a fully redesigned front panel and control system.
After carefully analyzing all the options and taking into account the features our customers ask for the most, we decided that it didn't make sense to upgrade current XMC-1, as the level of its performance would still fall short of what the XMC-2 has to offer. Since we always do our best to provide our customers the best possible performance at the best possible price, we have changed our upgrade plans. Instead of offering current XMC-1 owners the option of upgrading their existing XMC-1 unit to support Dolby Atmos and DTS-X, we're offering current XMC-1 owners the opportunity to TRADE IN their old XMC-1 for a brand new XMC-2, with support for the latest 4k HDMI video, a full sixteen channels of balanced audio output for Dolby Atmos and DTS-X, and Dirac room correction.
Why did we do this? While this is an unbelievable win for our customers since the out of pocket cost is the same as the original upgrade path - plus you'll also get the advanced decoding and technical features that come along with the new 16-channel XMC-2 in a brand new unit that comes with a fully transferable brand new five-year warranty. This new direction is also a win for us because we avoid the extra expense and complexity of designing and supporting a separate firmware and hardware program for the old XMC-1, which uses a significantly different internal architecture.
For customers looking to move up our more advanced platforms, we will offer the same trade in allowance on the new RMC-1 and RMC-1L models.
Your cost for upgrading your XMC-1 under the same trade-in terms for these two models is as follows:
RMC-1 trade-in price is $2999.00
RMC-1L trade-in price is $1999.00
If you own an XMC-1 will the Gen3 4K video board, additional discounts will apply in the same manner as the XMC-2 upgrade.
Please note the following important details:
1) To be eligible for this upgrade, you must be the current owner of a working XMC-1, with a valid warranty registered in your name. That includes anyone who has purchased their XMC-1 directly from us, anyone who has purchased their XMC-1 from one of our authorized dealers or distributors, and anyone who purchased their XMC-1 used, from a legitimate owner, and has had the warranty transferred to their name. (Note 1)
2) Your XMC-1 must be in good condition, and may not have been subject to unauthorized modifications, obvious abuse, or acts of nature like damage due to lightning strikes or power surges. (Note 2)
3) To take advantage of this trade-in offer, your original XMC-1 must be returned to our factory here in the USA, and your new XMC-2 will be shipped to you from this location.
- US customers will be charged an additional flat-rate shipping fee of $50, which will cover the cost of shipping your original XMC-1 to us and shipping your new XMC-2 back to you. If you need original packaging, we have it available at a nominal cost. Units will not be accepted in non-factory packaging.
- International customers will be responsible for the cost of shipping their original XMC-1 to us and will be charged the actual cost of shipping their new XMC-2 to them. (For international customers who are curious, the originally planned upgrade board was going to be a factory installation, so this new plan and associated costs are exactly the same as well.)
The standard upgrade price for trading in your XMC-1 for a new XMC-2 will be USD $1200.00 – plus shipping.
(This is the same as the planned combined cost of the XMC-1 HDMI 4k and XMC-1 Dolby Atmos upgrade boards.)
- This upgrade is available to all current XMC-1 owners, regardless of how you obtained your XMC-1, as long as your XMC-1 has a valid warranty registered in your name. (Note 3)
- If you purchased your XMC-1 for the full retail price of $2499, and it included the latest 4k HDMI 2.0b video option at the time you purchased it (the v3 HDMI 2.0b video option), you will be eligible to trade it in for a new XMC-2 for $800.00 plus shipping.
- If you initially purchased your XMC-1 with the original HDMI 1.4b video option, or the older single-input 4k video card, and later purchased the latest 4k HDMI 2.0b video upgrade
(the v3 HDMI 2.0b video option) separately for it at a cost of $399, you will be eligible to trade it in for a new XMC-2 for $800 plus shipping.
**NOTE: If you would like to trade in your XMC-1 towards the purchase of an RMC-1 or RMC-1L, please contact sales@emotiva.com.
1. All new Emotiva products include a transferrable warranty, which we consider to be a valuable part of your purchase. This warranty ensures that you will receive the support you deserve and will be able to continue to enjoy your Emotiva gear for many years. If you purchase an Emotiva product on the used market and it is still under the factory warranty period, you should expect the current owner to transfer the remainder of their warranty to you. Eligibility for certain offers, as well as warranty coverage itself, will depend on our ability to verify your status as a valid owner. (Note that certain factory renewed products, and certain clearance products, may be sold with a limited warranty. If so, this limited warranty will be clearly noted as a condition of sale.)
2. While we do not require your XMC-1 to be in as-new condition to be eligible for this trade-in offer, we do reserve the right to disqualify units that have been subject to obvious abuse or serious cosmetic damage – at our sole discretion. If there is any doubt, we may request additional information to confirm the condition of your XMC-1 before trading it in.
All trade-in eligibility is at our sole discretion. Any missing accessories, such as remote controls, measurement microphones, original packaging, etc. will be charged to you in addition to the trade in cost.
3. XMC-1 CR units do not qualify for this promotional trade in offering.

Pitt Meadows recognizes 14-year vet for his dedication to job.
Sean de Jersey was chosen at firefighter of the year by his peers in Pitt Meadows.
Fourteen years ago come May, Sean de Jersey was finally accepted as a volunteer firefighter in his hometown of Pitt Meadows.
To this day, it remains his driving passion. His paid profession, where de Jersey earns his pay check, may be as a conductor for CP Rail. But where his heart lies is inside the four walls of the Pitt Meadows Fire Department.
For de Jersey, the desire stretches back to his childhood. Watching his father serve as a police officer helped shape his desire to give back to his community. As far back as he can remember, he wanted to be a fireman.
So it comes as no surprise that de Jersey was named firefighter of the year for 2014 in Pitt Meadows at a ceremony on Saturday. At least, to everyone but de Jersey.
The award, among other attributes, recognized the firefighter who demonstrated an exceptional level of participation, skill, innovation and stands above in their leadership and mentoring skills and is voted on by all the firefighters in Pitt Meadows.
For de Jersey, it's a check box in every category, said Pitt Meadows Fire Chief Don Jolley.
"Sean's a long-term member whose taken an exemplary leadership role with the younger team members," said Jolley.
For the homegrown product of Pitt Meadows, the award may look nice on a mantle, but it's the bonds he's created with his colleagues inside the fire hall that mean so much more.
"I've lived in Pitt Meadows my entire life. I've been here 38 years. I know a lot of people in the community and unfortunately I've been to calls where I know the person, and that's hard. But like I said, I have a full-time career. But when I'm done and I come home, I still want to help my city, he said.
But it's more than just a desire to give back. Along with everyone he works with, he sacrifices personally and professionally to fulfill his duties as a firefighter.
There is a natural bond with anyone who puts on the helmet, picks up a hose, and jumps out of bed at 3 a.m. when the call comes.
He said whether someone is a volunteer, paid-on-call, or a full-time firefighter, there is a respect every department shows, no matter where or when. Like police funerals, firefighters gather from across international boundaries when a colleague dies in the line of duty. It's the band of brothers mentality that fuels de Jersey's desire.
"You have to trust everybody. I can go to any call and I can put my life on the line for the junior guy and he will do the same thing for me. Nothing's the same. The most routine call can end up being the most dangerous," he said.
So after almost a decade-and-a-half of responding to fires, car accidents and countless medical emergencies, de Jersey said he still looks forward to putting on the uniform and giving back to Pitt Meadows. He said he couldn't do it without the support of his friends and family, but they understand and have always respected his calling to be a firefighter.
• special recognition award, Sean Staples.


Forecast idea is pretty much the same with some adjustments. These are based on observations, not model data.
Moisture is plentiful and moving E-NE not west to east. So when you look at this radar you will notice the amount of precipitation out there.
The snow will continue most of the day ... esp. this morning. It will taper off by late - afternoon.
Snow amounts could increase due to fluffier nature of snow as temps cool both at the surface and aloft.
Wildcard #1: Number 3 could be countered by a heavy snow band that sets up to our east/southeast. This would decrease our snow rate as has happened lately.
Wildcard #2: Heavy snow band sets up over our area enhancing snow rates even if only for an hour or two.


Where to eat in Bandra?
Your guide to eating out in Bandra.
A year or more back, Otto Infinto - the Mediterranean eatery was rebranded into a Cafe style eatery with a menu that was more widespread and befitting its new name - Cafe Infinito. With the rebranding exercise came a slight change in seating arrangement that is more communal and open as opposed to the previous diner style enclosure. Since then it's been more approachable to the neighbouring corporate and consulate crowd that at times also consists of a few foreign nationalities down for official work, thus making it a corporate lunch favourite and also a post work hangout.
The menu here was already diverse and drew a good enough caricature of the known European dishes. The new menu adds a huge slice of sub-continent ingredients & flavours while the European fare is more experimental in nature now. Medium&Rare along with a few more influencers were invited to experience a selection of items from their new menu. The simple yet delicate filo wrapped Brie and earthy SriLankan Prawns Curry were surely our pick of the afternoon followed by an array of largely satisfying desserts like Baked Yoghurt & Philadelphia Cheesecake.
Hooters style Chicken Wings and Baked Brie came right away to compliment the quenchers. As mentioned previously, the Brie was absolutely adored by everyone for its uncomplicated overall taste and fresh cheesy goodness inside the pastry. This is one dish to please even the most ardent of meat munchers. The battered Chicken Wings were high on sheen and an equally gloopy mess in the hands, while the crackling appetizer "Firecracker Prawns" (from the permanent menu) provided the crispy cover and soft meat inside which we expected from the hooter style dish. Almost pushed to the sides of the table were Jalapeno & Cheese Poppers; Probably made to feel overwhelmed by the presence of its gourmet cousin 'Baked Brie'.
Bacon & Banana inside a Baguette may sound outright illegal, eerie and experimental at first, but if the word of mouth from the table is any true it's a valiant effort that may entice someone with a progressive palate. The open face - Aglio Olio Mushrooms on Focaccia should be easily appealable to everyone with its well sauteed mushrooms and melted cheddar mix and microgreen garnish.
The selection of salad - Cypriot Mix and the Crispy Asian Salad; both weren't received well by almost everyone. The Asian Salad was a visual disappointment with its pale palette of colors, also the textures though varied - nuts, crispy lettuce strips and those tiny bursts from pomegranate never tied together the entire dish at any point of our few spoonful attempts. Cypriot Salad Mix of Flax seeds, Lentils, Pomegranate & Honey Yoghurt had a better visual play than the previous salad, but only mildly tasteful while on a good note incorporated heaps of healthy calories. The salads vastly remain a breakfast accompaniment or a late afternoon grub.
With the meal graph fluctuating between ground zero and soaring high peaks, it was time for the actual indulgence - Mains. The Lineup was Chicken Roulade, Chicken Cafreal, SriLankan Curry & Rice, Mushroom Timbale & Cottage Cheese Moussaka. Separating itself from the lot was the gratifying SriLankan Curry & Rice (Prawns variation was effortlessly natural as compared to the Chicken variation). From its bright orange color to the soul food like comforting taste and creamy texture of Coconut Milk, it is an absolute winner for a European subjugated eatery. One spoonful mix of Rice, Curry & Prawn and we were ready to erase all the previous shortcomings.
The Roulade, Mushroom Timbale & Moussaka were some of the well plated dishes. Vastly, these dishes fared above-average in taste and generous in portion size. The Mushroom Timbale is certainly notch above the two with its complex layers of taste and the beaming orange curry that accompanies it. The only dish of desi origin was the Goan favourite 'Chicken Cafreal'. It's quite a risky dish to emulate, due to the complex masalas that build its curry base and coats the chicken pieces. Anyone who has experienced the famous Cafreal at Florentine's in North Goa will find Infinito's mimic a little subtle and lacking pungency of the black peppers. The Goan Bread is deeply missed here, which is meant to soak the soulful curry and marry the entire dish.
Baked Yoghurt & Philadelphia Cheesecake were definitely the picks from the dessert section. Both came plated with a complimenting fruit compote which brings a bit of relish to the creamy texture of the yoghurt & cream cheese. Both of the above-mentioned desserts are much recommended at any given hour or meal, even breakfast ! Sadly the same cannot be said about the Tiramisu which was unanimously unsatisfactory across the table.
The experience of the new menu has been more a of rollercoaster ride with alternating high climbs and gentle slopes. Excluding a few dishes, the new menu experience in general was a proof of largely competent cooking with occasionally diffident flavours.
Recommendations : Baked Brie, Aglio Olio Mushroom on Focaccia, SriLankan Prawn Curry, Baked Yogurt & Philadelphia Cheese Cake.
It rarely happens that the name of a brand precedes the food on offer. Bombay Blue has been into the culinary scene of Mumbai since more than a decade now. There's a partial menu revamp in order to match pace with the many budding eateries, the fare is now more inclined towards the tex-mex side of world cuisine.
We were invited to its Market City outlet that ran packed on a Saturday afternoon lunch hour. The service was prompt and within minutes of us grabbing the high stools our table was packed with a fresh Kiwi & Crushed Pepper mocktail, a mountain of Nachos with an avalanche of cream cheese, a Chicken Tikka Salad and portion of Masala Makai Bhel. The 'Maha Nachos' was plated such to enclose a center of mexican beans and surrounded by shards of Nachos and drizzled with cheese sauce. While the visual gimmicks take a good score, the practicality is zero as one ends up consuming the Nachos and only to later discover the beans in the center. Tikka Salad and Masala Makai Bhel both were average affair and should work better as a side snack with the 99 bucks beer on offer.
We sampled almost all the summer mocktails on offer. Each of the mocktail flavour came with a generous addition of its respective grated fruit flesh. The Orange & Green Apple variations won unanimously over the remaining lot.
While we sipped on our refreshments, half a dozen more plates arrived at the table. Namely, a portion of Peri Peri Chicken, Onion Rings & Cheese Balls, assorted Sliders, Chicken Tacos, Peri Peri Chicken Pizza & Moroccan Grilled Chicken. While the food generally looked vibrant with its colorful ingredients, the flavours were largely suppressed and kept begging for more seasoning. Chicken was overcooked across the board and thus rendered dry in the case of Chermoula marinated Moroccan Chicken. Onion Rings, Cheese Balls & Sliders were yet again average accompaniments while the Tacos fared a notch better.
Bombay Blue has seen may tides of restaurants arrive and depart in these many years. The coming of age of its menu should have been more inspiring and impactful than what was showcased to us. With that said, it may just strive ahead considering its loyalist still enjoy the food without any fuss while ones with a better palate will have surely moved on to the newer city favourites.
Two-One-Two's all day cafe & bar recently opened its door to the lesser fortunate side of the eastern suburbs at Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla. Located at the upper floor, 212 occupies the spot next to the Irish Pub and also extends at the backside into a descent al-fresco area too. The thought of having a Sunday brunch in al-fresco was near perfect, but was dropped as soon as we saw the construction work within a few metres and also the afternoon heat was making things all the more uninviting.
So, We settled on one of the corner high seating table with an 180 degree view of the restaurant. The Lime Green dress code of the staff and the classy wooden interior builds quite a contrasting imagery on first reception. On a good note, the well staffed service is easy to spot without having to stress your eyes.
Menu is well segregated and compact without much of a fuss. The same cannot be said about the Drinks menu, which is a lot more columned. Our brunch started off with a portion of beer battered onions rings along with one deadly indulgence, one of the martini and a glass of 'Rising Sun' to sober us up. Portion was large, rings were fresh and filled with absolute crunch from the thick beer batter coating. To cover the void, we had also ordered a flat bread pizza 'Bolognaise' which sits as a chef's recommendation on their zomato page, but was a bit of a dud on portion size. The crude rectangular shaped pizza seems to be fad these days and the same is followed here. It is high on taste, texture and ingredients though better justice on the portion size is needed considering the price of the dish (495/-).
Next up on our order was the Sunday special - Beef steak, but soon conveyed to us was out of stock. Weird that in first hour of service and not many tables filled, one runs out of the day's speciality dish hero ingredient ! Quite unacceptable in my notebook. Replacing the mains was a Three Egg White Omelette and a portion of Chicken Skewers. The fluffy omelette was served hot in a skillet with potato wedges, grilled tomato and a spoonful drip of Mushroom cream sauce. Neatly executed and it is high on combination of textures from the foamy egg whites with wedges and the cream sauce. Chicken Skewers is an absolute must-order dish. The bird meat is ever so succulent and the tomato chutney plays the perfect accompaniment for it along with a handful of mix greens.
Lastly, Dessert was part disappointment and part orgasmic. My Crème brûlée ramekin was double the size of any other restaurant, but the custard inside was firm - Almost mousse like in texture than the runny one it should have been. Cheval's Crème brûlée in the past many months has been an epitome and I'm still to find someone to take that crown from them. The Lava Cake and it's oozing centre was copybook stuff. Piercing through the sponge and reaching for that molten chocolate is so sensual that there isn't any replacement for it.
212 defnitely has an audience in this mall and the potential to thrive provided their teething issues (mentioned above) are resolved sooner. One important fact to be noted here is the level of salt in each serving, which was always on the lower side and that surely gets them the brownie points. The fare for three people inclusive of taxes ran to slightly above 3k. That's on par with SMD or Tertulia or any other European cafe across the city.
So, Until the next one - Salud !
Kurla is that black spot in every Mumbaikar's travel route, but interestingly there exists some of the most pocket-friendly eateries.
