![]() But the Rainbow of Light starts fighting back, and eventually overpowers the Rainbow of Darkness. But it is only a small piece that is soon enveloped in darkness. As he was about to release the Rainbow of Darkness, Megan opens the locket to reveal the Rainbow of Light. When Tirac takes off in his Chariot of Darkness, Megan grabs the satchel containing the Rainbow of Darkness, but can't hold on to it. Tirac wields the Rainbow of Darkness, a powerful sack containing evil magic which corrupts everything it touches.It can even turn the ponies he captured into evil dragons which were used to pull his "Chariot of Darkness" and execute the event called the "Night that Never Ends", on which he will use the Rainbow of Darkness to corrupt Dream Valley and plunge it into chaos. He resides in the forbidden Midnight Castle alongside his minions and his loyal servant Scorpan, who he orders to kidnap the ponies of Dream Valley to execute his evil scheme. Tirac is a centaur with elements of a demon (mainly a Baphomet). This stayed the same for the most part in the newer "Friendship Is Magic" canon, with villains like Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow.Īntagonists My Little Pony 'n Friends Name The original show (despite people knowing it for its girly nature despite that not really being the case nor the aim of the writers) had some rather dark and menacing villains, such as Tirac, Grogar, and Lavan (and Tirac and Lavan were killed, thus making My Little Pony's first generation one of the very few TV cartoons in the 1980s to kill characters off). These villains appear in the My Little Pony series. ![]() ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) ( September 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Use the lead layout guide to ensure the section follows Wikipedia's norms and is inclusive of all essential details.

![]() Keep being the best you can be, but only do it for YOU because at the end of the day, that's all the support you will ever need.įaith I feel your pain, Although this poem and these comments written back to you about how wrong you were and how bad your decision was, I was in a similar situation at a young age also when I had to have an abortion. ![]() I have always been vulnerable and easy to push over, so I let it happen then.Īs for this poem, it is beautiful. In the end, it was my family who made the decision for me. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was equally excited as scared. White Calla Lily because in my mind, it was a girl and I would have named her Lillian Marie. Three tattoos, my new engagement ring, and I have White Lilies all over the house. I mean that literally as I have reminders on my body. It's been 7 years, and I am now seeking therapy to get through the emotional pain that wears on me every day. At the time I honestly thought I made the right decision and have realized since that I feel nothing but guilt and anger (towards myself). I am also a woman who suffers from guilt about having an abortion at 16. Many great leaders came from very poor families or were "accidents." Adoption is not as bad as they say. I hope and pray that any young mother reading this decides against abortion. People need the love of Christ in their lives, and when there is a lacking of it, people make decisions they will regret. I wish there was more love in the world then women would feel better about themselves and not want to go in to promiscuous relationships that will cause grief and heartache in the end. I know some women who have gone through this and they all regret doing it. I wish abortion wasn't a thing, it really ruins the woman. Even if it is their fault, people should support the young mother as she tries to do what's right. I wish people would be more accepting of young women who fall into this situation. People get so mad at young women for fooling around when all they're looking for is acceptance and love. ![]() 'A can of soup was all I could manage:' Hairy Bikers' Dave Myers, 60, details chemotherapy and says he's lost 'so much weight' amid cancer battle Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum showcase their jaw-dropping figures in skintight midi dresses as they film America's Got Talent auditionsĬhloe Ferry puts on a VERY cheeky display in a blue thong bikini as she larks around on a waterslide Inside Jennifer Aniston's $21M Bel Air home!

Probably because it's all "in the cloud" - which takes me to my next point. It doesn't matter what small detail you changed, it's already saved. A huge benefit that saved me countless pains is the autosave feature. The advanced tool has almost everything you would need in an Photo editor tool. So obviously, the other ready-made templates are also a great asset if you're either out of ideas or just want to use something premade, change the colors a bit, add your text and you're good to go. Because sometimes I just need to add a photo, remove a background, add a different background and put some text in, which all can be done in the simple version, and also has some nice ready-made text style templates available if you want to make it fancy and quick. I love the simplicity of either choosing the advanced tool - Pixlr E or the simple edit tool - Pixlr X. It all depends on the photo you're providing. About 70% of the time there is no tweaking needed, while sometimes I do need to tweak things. While it's not 100% perfect, it mostly does the job done admirably and you have unlimited usage. PROSĪ very good tool is the background removal tool. Just take a picture, add some text in a nice font and you have a cool looking thumbnail. Nowadays design has changed a lot, and we're mostly using minimalism design even in websites, in thumbnails, in cover photos that we don't need complex photo editing. I'm a Photoshop user for more than 10 years, but yet I'm finding myself just using Pixlr for many quick tasks because the editing I need isn't as complex as having to launch Photoshop. It's very convenient way to use the tool. I once was on a vacation and needed a quick thumbnail for a client, and I've managed to easily get the job done through my AirBNB host's computer. Being "in the cloud" means that I don't have to install any software and I can use it on any computer, without needing a lot of image editing resources as other software that I have to install. Pixlr is a pretty good tool that I've found myself using more and more recently because of it's ease of use and availability. ![]() Priority Software announced that AccountEdge 2020 is available and indicated plans to continue supporting the software on Macs that are running a system prior to Catalina. When AccountEdge developers decided that they weren’t going to upgrade their code to meet Apple’s 64-bit requirement, they offered users a few different ways to continue using the software. While they have recently announced that they are working on a single-user version of AccountEdge Pro that would be compatible with Mac OS in the future, they still cannot commit to doing the same for a full-featured, multi-user version of AccountEdge likely due to either the cost involved or to encourage users to switch to the subscription-based version of the solution. Priority chose not to invest in upgrading AccountEdge’s code to be compatible with the new 64-bit requirements, leaving some of their customers scrambling. Just shy of two years ago, the company alerted users that the Catalina OS would not support 32-bit applications. Apple has supported 64-bit applications for about the last 10 years. This shift isn’t entirely out of left field. Starting with Catalina, Apple now requires all programs that run on their OS to be 64-bit and will no longer support any 32-bit applications. The problem resides within AccountEdge’s code, which is more than 30 years old, according to Apple Insider. Given how important it is to keep up with operating system updates, why would AccountEdge stop supporting the latest and greatest Mac OS? Catalina Update is a ‘Bit’ Too Modern for Some Older Software If your company inadvertently exposes customer data due to outdated software or operating systems, the consequences may be similarly significant. The result? More than 143 million Americans had their personal information like Social Security numbers, addresses, and birth dates publicly exposed.Įquifax agreed to pay $700 million as part of the settlement related to the breach. The hackers moved through Equifax’s systems for more than two months before they were discovered in late July. In 2017, attackers targeted Equifax, a consumer credit reporting agency, by successfully finding a vulnerability within the company’s dispute portal. Here’s an example that affected millions of people: It can be frustrating waiting for your tech to bring itself up to date when you have other important business to attend to, but remember: While some software updates correct minor issues, often updates repair critical security gaps that could put your organization at risk. Once the system update is complete, you may find that any software you have now needs to be updated as well. When a major operating system like Windows or Mac has an update, you’ll probably need to plan for some downtime. ![]() While these updates can sometimes seem like a hassle, they’re often important for ensuring stability and security. No matter what kind of tech your business runs on, you’re likely familiar with periodic notifications alerting you that it’s time to update your OS or software because the developer has made enhancements, corrected bugs, fixed vulnerabilities, or other issues. Now AccountEdge customers on Mac OS must weigh the risks of their suggested workarounds against the costs and benefits of adopting a new accounting package. ![]() That’s what happened recently to Mac-based companies relying on AccountEdge, whose parent company, Priority Software, announced earlier this year that their on-premise solution would not be compatible with Mac OS Catalina or any future Mac operating systems. But what happens when critical software - for instance, your accounting system - doesn’t keep up with the times? One of the first lines of defense for keeping your data safe is ensuring that the operating system you’re running is up to date. Sensitive company data must be kept secure from prying eyes while remaining readily accessible to those who need it. As businesses of all sizes around the globe adopt new solutions to make day-to-day operations easier, security remains crucial. Technology and software play integral roles in modern businesses, especially for core operational processes like accounting. He continues to tour around the globe and has racked up an impressive list of awards both in Canada and internationally. In 2000 he was awarded the Juno Award for Best Male Artist. In total, Bryan Adams has recorded some 30 hit singles and sold almost 60 million albums worldwide. The album also hit number one in India and Switzerland and had top-10 debuts in 11 countries before being issued exclusively by Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in the United States in May. A 2-disc set titled Anthology, featuring both hits and lesser-known tracks from his catalogue, was released in 2005 along with the Live in Lisbon DVD.Īdams made a strong comeback with the March 2008 release of 11, which was his first album to top the Canadian sales chart since 18 Til I Die. Adams's self-produced 14th album, Room Service, was largely recorded while on tour in Europe and was a major hit there when it was released in the fall of 2004. He also contributed new songs in 2005 to the films Color Me Kubrick and Racing Stripes. Adams has always had a lot of success with songs for films, and that was again the case when he wrote the songs for the 2002 animated feature film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron. Bryan Adams Unplugged (1997) showed a change of direction, with the artist performing acoustic versions of old hits, more obscure album tracks and 3 new songs.Īdams released his 10th studio album, On a Day Like Today, in 1998, and followed that up a year later with a second greatest-hits package, The Best of Me. While the album sold about 5 million copies worldwide, it stalled at around 400 000 in Canada and was looked upon by many as a disappointment in comparison to his earlier successes. He returned with new material on 1996's 18 Til I Die. ![]() The album included "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," a song from the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which sold 7 million copies internationally that year and made the Guinness Book of World Records when its 16-week run at the top of the chart made it the longest-standing number-one single in British history.Ī greatest hits package called So Far So Good was released in 1993, and Bryan Adams scored another number-one hit when he collaborated with Rod Stewart and Sting on "All for Love," the theme song for the film The Three Musketeers. Adams released 2 more albums, Into the Fire (1987) and Live! Live! Live! (1989), before scoring his next domestic million-seller with 1991's Waking Up the Neighbours. Reckless (1984) was an even bigger hit, selling more than a million copies in Canada alone and including such smash hits as "Run to You,""Summer of '69" and "It's Only Love" (a duet with Tina Turner). After 1981's You Want It You Got It, Adams's popularity soared with the release of his third album, Cuts Like a Knife, which spawned 3 international hits and earned him 4 JUNO Awards, including Best Male Vocalist and Album of the Year. In 1979 he forged his long-standing alliance with manager Bruce Allen.īryan Adams released his self-titled debut album for A&M Records in 1980, and he's remained with the label for his entire career. At age 18 he began a songwriting partnership with Jim Vallance that would result in some of his biggest hits years later. A year later he replaced Nick Gilder as the singer for Sweeney Todd for the If Wishes Were Horses album. ![]() Bryan Adams was raised in England, Israel, Portugal and Austria, but settled in Vancouver at age 15. Adams, Bryanīryan Adams, singer, songwriter, guitarist (b at Kingston, Ont ). ![]() Bryan Adams is the best-known rock musician of his time (photo by Ken Regan/Camera 5). ![]() The song's theme summons from Ronstadt myriad emotions midway through the first verse, she is befuddled - not yet wanting to admit what is going on in her life: Ultimately, there is the Ronstadt-Gold song, "Try Me Again." As in "Love Has No Pride" and "Long Long Time," something precious is at stake here. She simply allows the beauty of this well-structured song to speak for itself. She doesn't battle the instruments she doesn't strain for high notes. She sounds at peace with herself as she sings of foolish lovers who don't take the time to discover love's true meaning. Ronstadt's interpretation is extraordinarily subtle, sly and witty. ![]() Swirling electric piano figures and a barely audible mandolin establish an irresistibly exotic ambiance. Ry Cooder's "The Tattler" is one of the album's two gems. Her reading could be tougher, but the music behind it - particularly the solo sparring between guitarists Andrew Gold and Waddy Wachtel - has enough bite to overcome the vocal shortcomings. The version of "That'll Be the Day" included here neither alters my feelings for nor threatens the Buddy Holly original. I've always appreciated Ronstadt's good-natured approach to her remakes of rock 'n roll oldies. And in a few instances it's as good as anything Ronstadt has done. Worse still, one verse of an immaculately beautiful reggae song, "Rivers of Babylon," is ruined by being used as a prelude to "Give One Heart." No amount of sweetening can rescue lyrics as inane as "That's the paradox of I love you" or "If your baby loves you right/You can have skyrockets any old night." A rock & roll bridge has been punched up, which only makes things worse by forcing a scream from Ronstadt as she tries to move up the scale. Orleans couldn't salvage it, nor can Ronstadt. The album's only other major mistake is John and Johanna Hall's "Give One Heart," one of the worst songs - reggae or otherwise - I've heard. When she is joined on the chorus by Don Henley (of the Eagles) the impact of the song's touching and mystifying lyric is completely blunted by the beauty of the harmonizing. Here, strings and Andrew Gold's impersonal piano accompaniment take the song all the way out of the danger zone, and Ronstadt's carefully articulated, stodgy vocal belies her misunderstanding. In the original version, stinging, venomous guitar lines plus ethereal guitar solos accentuated Zevon's weary vocal. While it is certainly not in a league with her masterpiece, Heart Like a Wheel, (and I'm beginning to believe its perfection occurs but once in an artist's career), Hasten Down the Wind is nonetheless representative of Ronstadt redivivus, of Ronstadt, the sensitive, introspective stirring we have admired all these years.Īside from the inclusion of two innocuous songs - "Lo Siento Mi Vida" and Karla Bonoff's "If He's Ever Near" - the album's problems are fairly well exemplified by the totally wrongheaded interpretation of the Warren Zevon-penned title song, which delineates the chilling tale of a lover's indecisiveness. This is Linda Ronstadt's tenth album (including the three made with her first group, the Stone Poneys). Think instead of a gifted singer - perhaps our most gifted - who has given us (arguably, I admit) some 40 memorable songs but failed, and miserably so, to connect with much passion on her last album, Prisoner in Disguise. When I say welcome back, don't think of John Sebastian's awful song, or the equally awful television show it introduces. ![]() The user interface has been refreshed with new icons, and visual styling has been enhanced for Aero Glass (Windows 7 / Vista only).Performance in many areas has been substantially improved, and overall memory usage has also been greatly reduced (especially when more than 1 image is open).The web installer is also provided, which will download and run the correct installer for any supported CPU and OS.If you would like to support the project, the Windows Store version offers some extra features which include automatic background updates, easy installation onto all of your Windows devices, and improved reliability.
