Book excerpt: In book three, The Dancer becomes the Dancer Magnifique. And the story’s focus is more on her daughter, who is now The Dancer. She curtsied to herself in the mirror, and as she did so, her reflection in the mirror curtsied back to her. She tried it again, and without fail, the mirror curtsied back to her. What a marvelous invention she thought, a curtsying mirror. Of course it was just a normal mirror, but she liked being fanciful and pretending that it was a special mirror, one which obeyed her every command. She curtsied to the mirror once more. Then fully assured of her command over the mirror, she walked away. But the figure in the mirror didn’t move. She couldn’t believe she was not in control of her special mirror, so she just kept walking out the door, even though her reflection did not follow. Besides she was late for dinner, her mother would be expecting her. The Dancer tells her mother. The Shaman, the Dancer’s Grandmother, insists that the Dancer must fix the mirror all by herself. Will anyone defy the Shaman and help the Dancer fix the mirror? How would she even start to fix it?

Hey, it’s a magical series, so why not. Salmon, though loses his confidence in his ability to skip and ride rocks. His girlfriend, Dancer is trying to encourage him to try again. He wants nothing to do with it. But somehow he has to get his confidence back. Butterfly has disappeared. Walks-Like-Thunder the horse god, the Director, and the Shaman have left for business on another world. But they didn’t take Butterfly with them. As the Author says, “Maybe she fell into a wormhole and is now back at her old home. She did miss it. Nah, that wouldn’t be it – wormholes are too normal to have any place in this story.” Ramon and Raul have all of a sudden started weeping uncontrollably. Nobody knows why. They haven’t been moody since they and Magnifique were young. And they never wept uncontrollably before – at least not to Magnifique’s knowledge. How will this all be resolved? And what’s the surprise ending to this series?
Download or read book The Dancer IV written by Dale Stubbart and published by Dale Stubbart. This book was released on with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A friend who read The Dancer, said she felt like she was right in the story. When the Dancer danced, she danced. But perhaps you don’t relate to the Dancer, there are plenty of other main characters you can relate to. There’s the Dancer, who is now called the Dancer Magnifique, or just Magnifique for short. There’s her husband, Straight-Spear, the Chief’s son. He dances on his horse, Rides-Like-Thunder. Rides-Like-Thunder is a god. Magnifique and Straight-Spear’s daughter is now Dancer, following in her mother’s footsteps. However, she will dance atop Rides-Like-Thunder, while her mother will not. There’s the Shaman and the Director. Their first meeting didn’t go well, as she swung Dancer’s shoes at him and knocked him out. But now they’re buddy-buddy. They act as Grandparents to Dancer. And there’s Ramon and Raul – Magnifique’s boyfriends before she met Straight-Spear. Now they’re buddy-buddy. In the fourth story, Dancer is left all alone. She is old enough to be all alone. But she’s used to being among several adults, whom she can rely on for help, most of the time. She doesn’t need their help, but just in case. All the adults in her life have left, including Rides-Like-Thunder. They’ve all gone to other worlds for various reasons. They will be back, but for she is alone. And it’s enough to make the Author cry (I forgot to mention that the Author is one of the main characters.) She was all alone, so she did what she always did – she danced. She danced for joy, she danced for strength, she danced for sorrow, she danced for weariness. She danced because she didn’t know what else to do. She had been dancing ever since they left. What had it been, 7, maybe 8 days now? She didn’t know. At some point, she would fall exhausted, asleep, and stop dancing. But not yet. She felt she could go on for ages.

Download or read book The 1 2 Lot Project A 5 000 Sq Ft Life written by Dale Stubbart and published by Dale Stubbart. This book was released on with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details the design for a smaller living space. You can adjust the plans to meet your desires and needs. If this book says to do something one way and you want to do it another way, investigate how to do it another way and then do it that way. Hopefully this idea will encourage your own ideas. And, hopefully, it will more than halve the carbon footprint of a typical home in the US.5,000 square feet may sound like a lot of space, until you realize we’re talking about land area and that 10,000 sq ft is the typical size of a city residential lot. 10,000 sq ft is a little less than 1/4 acre. So, 5,000 sq ft would be half that much or about 1/10 acre. Since we’re reducing the land area by 1/2, we should also reduce the house and the car by 1/2. The Not So Big House reduced houses to about 2000 sq ft. In this project we will go even further, reducing the house to 500 sq ft. Many starter homes, modulars, trailer homes, and two-bedroom apts are 1000 sq ft. Large RV’s and Houseboats are about 1000 sq ft or less. 500 sq ft is the size of a small 1 bedroom apt or a large studio apt. We could make the house 1000 sq ft by giving it a basement or a second floor, but we want to reduce the amount of house we have to heat, cool, clean, and maintain. Some of things I’ve designed to maximize the space in your home and garage have yet to be invented. If they are never invented, there is still plenty of room in both the house and the garage. The inventions just give you that much more space. One of these inventions is the car. The car is a modular car, meaning it comes in pieces or modules which can be easily taken apart and put back together. The main module or cab of the car holds 2 people and a few groceries. Most of the time, the only module you need is the main module. The other two modules are a back seat, and an enclosed truck bed or van module. You can even attach all three modules together and still have a car that is small enough to fit easily in a 1 car garage.
Download or read book Personal Electric Vehicles IEVs written by Dale Stubbart and published by Dale Stubbart. This book was released on with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I call Personal Electric Vehicles IEVs. That’s because people want their Electric Vehicle to be more personal. They want it to resonate with who they are (I). Can you blame them? Some call these vehicles micromobility. An IEV is like your alter ego. For some people, this would be a Tesla or a Nissan Leaf. But, IEVs are more personal. That means they’re typically smaller. Often they’re smaller or not much bigger than the driver / rider. Ask yourself these questions. If I put wheels on my feet and added some batteries for electricity, what would I transform into? How fast would I be able to go? And, how much fun could I have getting there? That’s the IEV for you. What is a Personal Electric Vehicle (IEV)? How am I defining them? #1 It’s Fully Electric: I won’t be including any Hybrid Vehicles which use fossil fuels. #2 It’s Personal: This vehicle not only gets you around, it is the definition of who you are. #3 It’s Usually for One Person: One part of whether a vehicle is personal or not, is its capacity. While personal seems to imply one person, I’m going to include vehicles which hold two. You might normally be the only person in or on your vehicle. However, every so often, you might want to or need to, take someone else along. Perhaps you never go anywhere without your BFF. So, what kind of vehicles are we talking about here? Electric Skateboards, e-bikes, Micro cars and many more. I cover IEVs that travel on the ground - on the street and off-road. I cover those that go in and under the water and those which fly. I look at vehicles which are used on the farm and in the warehouse. The best part, is that I help you create an evaluation check-list for when you buy your IEV - the personal electric vehicle that is you.

Book excerpt: Emal and Joti had always been good friends. They grew up in the same neighborhood. They enjoyed the same things in life. They often went to the same events. What Emal and Joti enjoyed most of all was adventure. Growing up, adventure was what they experienced the least of all. Emal and Joti’s best and perhaps only chance at adventure was space travel. But there was little chance of that. There was little chance at all until they were teenagers and a new company started to mass produce star-jumpers. Emal and Joti both applied to pilot school. After they graduated, each of them started saving as much money as they could so that they could buy their own star-jumper. After a few years, it became obvious to each of them that the only way they would have enough money to fulfill their dream was if they pooled their money together. A few years later and they were finally able to buy their star-jumper. They were off to pursue their dream. The great adventure of their life was about to begin!
