Excellent read, thoroughly enjoyed, would love to see the movie one day. Living in South Florida it was easy for me to relate to the authors details about some of the scenes, I could almost picture myself there. This is one of those books you can’t put down until you finish. Kyle Jones 5.0 out of 5 stars A truly magical spiritual love story When I asked what she meant by that she said some books you can feel the writer trying to write a great story, this story felt natural. She said it was a great story and it was written in a way that keeps you hooked and also doesn’t feel written. Frank Herbert authored five critically acclaimed and commercially successful sequels to this best-known work. Once she had it in her hands she disappeared into the other room.

Created by visionary writer Frank Herbert, Dune debuted in 1965, has sold millions of copies and is arguably the most admired science fiction novel of all time. “If you’re looking for a quick & easy beach read with a serious love story & much self-reflection, Cactus Friends is it!

Praise For Cactus Friends: A Psychedelic Love StoryĪdrienne D. He was a correspondent for the Hearst newspapers in Vietnam, and also was a devotee of Jungian psychology, which, simplistically put, holds that universal symbols common to all cultures transcend any language. Herbert attended the University of Washington, where he became intrigued by psychology and education. And although those revolutionaries moved from street corners and into corporations, they continued to buy the “Dune” series, which has never been out of print in either hard cover and paperback since the initial volume was published in 1965. The fact that a drug helped in that transformation 9,000 years in the future endeared it to the Beatniks and the Flower Children of the current era. In his narrative, author Frank Herbert shows a preoccupation with the future development of the human mind. Herbert credited the successes of “Dune” to timing, for his tales of transforming the face of a barren land touched the heart of the ecology movement. Dune is the epic tale of the young nobleman Paul Atreides and his ascendancy to power in a futuristic world characterized by intergalactic human habitation. In a sequel, Atreides’ son, Leto, aided by melange, a spice (drug) that made both immortality and intergalactic travel possible, ruled thousands of years, while the most recent book in the series-"Chapter House: Dune"-dealt with a conspiratorial sisterhood manipulating the civilizations that came after. Atreides, drawn with overtones of an Arabian sheik (he would become Paul Maud'dib or prophet), had progeny who metamorphosed over several volumes into combinations of human beings and mammoth sand worms. He was reported to have died from a blood clot after surgery.Īlthough Herbert’s arid land came to be known as “Dune” to his millions of fans, the author had titled it Arrakis or Rakis and on it he placed a messianic protagonist named Paul Atreides, a mystical ruler of the nomadic Fremens. He discovered his illness late last year, said Jack Doughty, who had worked with him on newspapers in Seattle and San Francisco, and had been undergoing treatment at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison when he died Tuesday. ![]()

![]() Just for completion, I got following advice to check R version from an Rstudio employee here but it doesn't work either. ![]() Perhaps there is another way to check if the upgrade went through.

I mean it works but it is so slow to download them. Now if you want the fancy boxart etc for your systems, yeah Retroarch is kind of meh. To add everything I just scan the EMU folder and it finds everything in all subfolders for all installed cores. Once that is finished, the way my roms are set up in a directory - all systems have their own folders and they are all under one EMU folder. This is really the only tedious part going through this list and adding each core one at a time. Once the flatpak version is installed I run it, I go to online updater and add the cores for the systems I have. I much prefer the flathub version of retroarch. ![]() I know people love Steam but I personally only use it when I absolutely have to. While I agree with a lot of what you are saying here is how it usually goes for me:įirst I don't use steam's version. My experience is a little different than yours. Gnome Games could be that app, but it tries to do too many things (big surprise really) and it's progressing very slowly. but on the desktop is just a horrible experience.ĭesktop Linux needs a nice, simple, attractive app just like OpenEmu on MacOS.

I knew that they were a band, that they were influential and that they played at CBGB in New York, but beyond that…”Īs the band has slowly receded into history, sales of their shirts have picked up. And I didn’t even know a lot about the Ramones. “I wasn’t aware of that Ramones design until about two years ago,” says Sims, “and the only reason I became aware of it is that my wife bought it from H&M for my then one year-old child. ![]() The various factors that lead a buyer at Next or H&M to put in a Ramones order are complex (and both companies refused interview requests) but whether they’re based on pure design, cultural echoes or some kind of ironic distance, people are evidently buying them. “Given that touring and merchandising are supposed to be where bands are making their money,” he says, “there’s a greater interest in selling T-shirts, and improving their design to make them more marketable.” Sims, meanwhile, attributes that broadening appeal to a music industry trying to find new income streams in a digital era. A band such as Misfits sell a huge number of shirts in comparison to record sales the name isn’t big, but people just think it’s a cool shirt.” ![]() “It used to be the case that if you liked a certain band then you weren’t allowed to like another style of band,” he says, “but that’s changed a lot. People want to show that they went to the big gig at the O2, the ‘I was there’ thing.” But he also considers the broadening, cross-genre appeal of band merchandise to be part of a declining tribalism among music fans. “If you look at their audiences,” says Justin Smith, director of British merchandising company Kontraband, “90 per cent of people at a metal concert will be wearing a band T-shirt and will be likely to buy one.įor us, the best-selling shirts are still ones with tour dates on the back. While the case of the Ramones shirt isn’t unique (H&M also sells shirts featuring metal bands to people who don’t listen to metal), the demographic of band T-shirt-wearers has remained pretty static over the years: teenage pop acts and metal bands sell way more than hip-hop and R&B artists, with indie sitting somewhere in between. The shirt on sale at H&M for £7 features the names of the original line-up of Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee and Tommy all now dead, but somehow living on, emblazoned on the chests of people who don’t necessarily know who they were. The olive branch became an apple branch, the arrows became a baseball bat, the lettering within the seal changed as the line-up of the band changed. They just look good, regardless of the band or its music.” The Ramones were fortunate to have a talented lighting director and art co-ordinator, Arturo Vega his decision to adapt the US Presidential Seal to depict “the ultimate all-American band” was, in retrospect, a stroke of genius. “That good design often follows from whether the band has been fortunate enough have a good logo – like Kiss, AC/DC, or Run DMC. “Any kind of band T-shirt that either goes the distance or transcends the original connection is basically down to good design,” says Josh Sims, author of the book 100 Ideas That Changed Street Style. Having become a regular fixture in high-street clothing stores, maybe the Ramones T-shirt has merely taken on a strange new life of its own. People of a certain age might see this as a despicable betrayal of the Ramones’ memory, but does it matter? After all, to accuse a 10-year-old child of lacking punk authenticity would seem unfair. Many wearers couldn’t name you a Ramones song – although some might hazard a guess at “Hey Ho Let’s Go”, the opening lyric of their 1976 debut single “Blitzkrieg Bop” (currently being used in a TV advert for an online electrical appliance retailer). The Ramones T-shirt has become a ubiquitous garment, a globally recognised design that retains only a flimsy link to the music made by America’s quintessential punk band.

In addition to using dermal fillers to restore your hands to a younger place in time, IPL is used to get rid of age and sun spots, along with laser such as Enlighten for defined dark spots. 12 Radiesse can also be used to restore volume loss in the back of the hands. Often hands take a double hit with the loss of volume and spots from sun exposure. Radiesse is the ideal dermal filler for smoothing out laugh lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, lifting the corners of the mouth and pre-jowl folds, as well as enhancing the contours of the cheek, chin and jawline. Expect results to last a year – in some cases longer. At Rao Dermatology, we can offer a variety of facial fillers such as Juvederm, Emervel, Revanesse, and Radiesse. Radiesse delivers on the triple effect: 1) Vertical Lifting 2) Sharpened Contours 3) Neocollagenesis. You’ll have a little bit of swelling for a day or two and then you’ll have hands that definitely look younger. We inject the filler under the skin and then massage it into the areas that need cushion. ![]() Radiesse and Restylane Injections: Simple & Fast Calcium hydroxyapatite is an inorganic substance. We get plenty of exposure to the elements here and that makes every exposed body part look a little older a little quicker. Radiesse is a dermal filler made of calcium hydroxyapatite designed to treat facial wrinkles and skin ageing. Popular for its long-lasting results, Radiesse benefits should be evident for two years or more. You don’t have to be “old” to have hands that look older. Radiesse (formerly Radiance) is a biocompatible, non-toxic, non-allergenic filler that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and skin folds around the mouth and nose, and fills certain scars. We’ve been using both for years and patients love that it’s easy, pretty much painless and lasts a long time. Radiesse was the first to get the FDA nod as a filler for the backs of your hands, followed by Restylane Lyft. The only way to mask that skeletal appearance is with filler or fat injections. Once the fat cushion is gone, you see tendons, bones and what seem to be huge veins. This face filler injection is unique because it also stimulates natural collagen production. Facial folds and wrinkles are immediately corrected, leaving the skin rejuvenating effects are even more pronounced and visible. I am going for my follow up session in 2 weeks time.

Here’s my collection right now. So, I’m glad Lululemon has increased production based on demand. Whereas before they would sell out in one night, I often see them available for two weeks or more. However, since I last wrote, I think Lululemon has recognized their popularity, so most of the time if you don’t buy them on upload night, you can wait a few days (or even weeks!) if you want to or need to before getting them. ![]() So, I still think it’s a good idea to buy them full price if you want them. I have only seen these on markdown once since writing this post. I just wanted to give an update, since it has been a while. They’re still the only ones I buy and I wear them constantly. So, it’s been about 9 months and I STILL LOVE this headband. They are pretty amazing, if you get a chance, you should try them out! They usually sell out online after a few days, once they’ve been uploaded (depending on the colorway), from what I can tell. If you’ve seen them at the outlets, please correct me. I’ve never seen them on Mark Down, or heard about them making it to the outlets. I suggest buying these in-store or online at full price. I’ve only ever seen Blurred Blossom Bang Busters sell for well above retail in the after market. I don’t know if it’s a perceived value thing, or if it’s just such a small item that people don’t think twice about spending $20. ![]() I see Bang Busters mostly selling for around retail, maybe a little less, on eBay. You can usually get back what you paid, particularly with Bang Busters & other popular models of headbands, like the Slipless. Since this blog is primarily about buying & selling Lulu, I will mention that most of the headbands retain their value well. Finally, at the bottom is Pinkelcious/ Pinkelicious Fangipani My Collection of Bang Bustersįrom Left to Right: Plum, Raspberry Glo Hyperstripe/ Plum Inkwell Paisley/ Inkwell Raspberry Glo/ Black Ziggy Wee Angel Wing/ White Raspberry Glo Groovy Stripe/ White Spry Blue/ Spry Blue, Beaming Blue Laceoflage Spring Has Sprung Pink Shell Beach Blanket Blue/ Aquamarine Hyperstripe Blue Moon Blue Moon. My Spry Blue one (6th from the left) is “ reversible” to Spry Blue. ![]() The only time I don’t like the reversible ones is when they are “reversible” to the same color. I like the circle mesh, but I think I prefer the reversible ones. They used to be $14 and have circle mesh on the reverse side. They are currently made “reversible” and cost $18. It’s discrete, yet the quality is there, since it is metal.Įssentially, these are the perfect headband. I like the the little metal logo in the back too. I own quite a few “Slipless” head bands, and even they slip sometimes. They’re great for hiding extension micro-rings or other connection spots (like clips or where it glues on), or if you have “baby hairs” in the front from straightening or otherwise damaging your hair, they’re great at hiding those flaws too! But they’re not just great for hiding flaws, I appreciate how well they keep my bangs back during exercise, and they have a stretchy part in the back, so they fit my head well. ![]() ![]() The only thing that separates the two in my mind is that Jud’s performance felt a bit softer at some points, whereas Chase’s delivery is a bit more confident in others. While the change is certainly noticeable to anyone who has played the original release, I didn’t feel that Chase’s performance was any less emotional than Jud’s. Originally voiced by Miriam Jud, Kaycie Chase now performs Kay’s voicework. If you played the original, you will instantly notice the change in Kay’s voice. The most notable of these features is the voice work. When Sea of Solitude: The Director’s Cut was announced last year, its biggest selling points were a refined script along with new voice work, new gameplay exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, and a new photo mode. I’m pleased to report that over the last two years, this magnificent experience has lost none of its luster. With the Sea of Solitude: The Director’s Cut on Nintendo Switch, I got the perfect opportunity to revisit this gorgeous game. ![]() Its emotionally-driven narrative, beautiful art style, earnest voice acting, and mesmerizing score all came together to deliver a game that not only garnered my Game of the Year for 2019 but also remains the only perfect score I have ever awarded a game. When I first played Sea of Solitude way back in 2019, it took me on an emotional journey, the likes of which I had never before experienced before. It will be a taxing journey filled with sorrow, pain, revelations, and ultimately hope. Pursued and confronted by monsters, Kay must come to terms with not only her own struggles but those of the ones she loves as well. A young woman named Kay awakens adrift in a small motorboat amidst a storm-tossed sea. ![]() Sea of Solitude: The Director’s Cut is a narrative-driven platforming adventure game developed by Jo-Mei Games and published by Quantic Dream. I have played through this new version of one of my all-time favorites and am happy to lay out exactly what has changed and how I think it impacts the game. Is it a remake or a remaster? Should I expect hours of new content or just some quality of life improvements in what is basically a port of an old game? These are fair questions for a consumer to have in mind as they approach a release like Sea of Solitude: The Director’s Cut. With the growing list of ways game developers label and approach the return of older titles, it is often hard to know precisely what one will be getting when they approach a rerelease of a game. Content Warning: Sea of Solitude: The Director’s Cut contains themes of bullying, emotional trauma, and suicide. ![]() |
