It does not need to be two hundred feet long.” “There are going to be seven of you, eight with Gleeson, on that ship. “Two hundred feet long?” Beckendorf frowned. The Argo II definitely did not look friendly. That’s a weapon that never fails.” Annabeth chuckled. “Besides, have a little faith in my charm.” What if this was a bad idea? What if the Romans panicked and attacked them on sight? The warship descended through the clouds, but Annabeth couldn't stop second-guessing herself. “A goddess could probably get through the protections on the ship.” That sounds like her sort of thing.” Leo said grimly. How could anything bad get on the ship?” Silena asked. And it took launched from Camp Half-Blood. Things going wrong already.” Connor grimaced.

He had no doubt about Hedge’s abilities as a satyr, but this might not be the best mission for him. “And he would totally do that.” Leo nodded. The last thing they needed as they flew a magical Greek trireme into a potentially hostile Roman camp was a middle-aged satyr in gym clothes waving a club and yelling "Die!" “Might be best to leave him on the ship for this one.” Piper agreed.Īnd encouraged him to take the morning off in his cabin and watch reruns of mixed martial arts championships.Įveryone nodded. “Which might not be good when in a delicate diplomatic situation.” ![]() “He is, he’s just a little…overenthusiastic.” Annabeth said. “And he’s a great protector.” Clarisse said fiercely. “Finding three out of the seven seems like a good indication he is the satyr the Fates have chosen for the job.” “He did find Piper and Leo, plus accidentally Jason.” Grover pointed out. Hedge is coming with us?” Leo asked in surprise. Most important, she pulled aside their war-crazed chaperone, Coach Gleeson Hedge, Until she met the exploding statue, Annabeth thought she was prepared for anything…with the rest of the crew-and the backup plan, and the backup plan for the backup plan. “How long do you think these chapters will be if they are documenting all of Annabeth’s thoughts?” Grover asked in pretend horror. “I would have been fine keeping it that way.” Annabeth grumbled. “Especially as you’re the only one who hasn’t had chapters from your point of view yet.” Thalia pointed out. “And if you’re part of the seven, it makes sense that we would get some from your point of view.” “Well, you’re definitely part of the seven now.” Connor said, a little anxiously. ← Previous Work Part 8 of Reading Percy Jackson Next Work →Īadarshinah's list of fics to die for, Watch/Read The Series, Reacting to Canon, Characters Explores Fandom, Why sleep?

![]() The motherboard just went on my mame cab and I think I might end up re-installing windows, so I am tempted to give the W8 a test run. I didn't realise they are selling extra tables already for the PC version. The rest must be purchased separately.Įdited by jhoff80, 03 October 2012 - 04:36 AM. However, at the end of that 90 days, you cannot upgrade it to a licensed version, you have to re-install a final version instead: Oh, and last thing, Pinball FX2 itself is free, but that only includes the Mars table. Also, sorry I didn't see this sooner, but there IS an evaluation version of Windows 8 that can be used for 90 days. As of right now, Epic Quest and Sorcerer's Lair are the only good ones, as far as I'm concerned, but neither is all that realistic. I'm sure that will change as Windows 8 gets closer to general availability at the end of the month. You can't get all 30 that you can get on the Xbox, just Sorcerer's Lair, Mars, Epic Quest, and four Marvel ones (Avengers, World War Hulk, Fear Itself, and the Infinity Gauntlet). Not really an issue, but something else to keep in mind, is that there's only a limited number of tables on the Windows 8 version right now. It only lets you alternate between a few selections for the controls. The only problem for cabinets is that you can't fully customize the buttons being used. I turn off the floating score junk but left the ball trails on for now.Įdited by epthegeek, 02 October 2012 - 06:23 PM. One of the zen guys said on their forums that it's windows 8 only for the foreseeable future - as it's a metro app. I had win7 on my cabinet before this, and was thinking about redoing it as XP to try to boost VP performance, so I figured since I was going to rebuild it anyway, I'd try this win 8 thing. You put windows into rotated portrait mode before you start the game. What O/S does your cab normally run and does the release preview dual-boot or something?Įdited by settingsons, 02 October 2012 - 05:38 PM. I turn off the arcade effects like the ball trailing which I can't tolerate - I can imagine that playing it FS in a cabinet with force feedback and a second screen would still be an enjoyable experience so I look forward to an XP version if they release one. So does the PFX2 software actually have a portrait mode in the options, or do you achieve it by rotating the windows display settings?Īlso for me PFX2 doesn't give me the true pinball experience like I get with VP and PA, however since the kids got an XBox depending on my mood I do enjoy playing some of these fantasy tables which I am too lazy to get up off the sofa. Nice one epthegeek! Thanks for the photo as well- I hadn't heard of this at all and I am surprised no-one including the Zen reps have mentioned it before. The only bummer about it is navigating the menus you have to use the mouse/keyboard. Still plays like PFX2 of course *cough* but it works fine. The portrait mode PFX2 works just fine on a cabinet. Managed to wrangle up a RTM version of Win8 from a developer friend of mine. I forgot that Windows 8 is tablet friendly so that makes sense. Yeah, if you rotate the screen to portrait mode, which I do on my tablet running Windows 8, then it does show a fullscreen layout which would probably work well on a cabinet. I didn't realize this was under question. ![]() ![]() Their biggest flaw is a lack of deep bass response. They’re indeed designed to work with the Meta Quest 2, but they’re really just a flexible pair of true wireless earphones with customizable lighting, a charging case that stores a USB-C transmitter (and they have Bluetooth connectivity), and crisp, clean sound.

There are too many minuses for me to recommend this app, but hopefully, it will continue to improve. The interface is straightforward, if a bit bland. The good thing about MPlayer is that, like VLC, it uses a fairly small amount of system resources compared to iTunes and Songbird, which are both pigs.

There are no keyboard shortcuts to skip, go back, shuffle, repeat, or add folder. This is really a necessary feature if you have hundreds of organized music or video folders and don't want to open each folder, then manually drag the file(s) into MPlayer, just to make a playlist. If you drag a folder onto Mplayer, it will not automatically start playing the files inside. MPlayer is improving, but it still doesn't hold a candle to VLC yet. DVD subtitles (SPU streams, VOBsub and Closed Captions) are supported as well. European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic and Korean fonts are supported along with 12 subtitle formats (MicroDVD, SubRip, OGM, SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle, JACOsub, PJS and our own: MPsub).

MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the Siemens DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/Hollywood+. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can use GGI, SDL (and this way all their drivers), VESA (on every VESA compatible card, even without X11!) and some low level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and ATI), too!

Houston has some really unpredictable weather. The Uber trip back into midtown so I could dump my vinyl stash and pay a visit to Rice University where my nephew is an engineering student was uneventful minus the flash flooding from intense thunderstorms. The sandwich minus the extreme heat, was cooked to perfection and I loved the homemade slaw and pickles on the fresh brioche bun. I’ve eaten spicy foods that could strip the automotive paint finish off a pair of Wilson Audio loudspeakers.Īfter drinking 4 Mountain Dews, my vision began to return and my heart rate settled back to a normal level. Having grown up in a food family that owned a restaurant chain, I spent 5 consecutive summers working in the kitchen as a chef and I’ve seen customers request some odd additions to their meal. I have a very high tolerance for spices and intense heat in my food but the “Howlin” chicken sandwich proved nearly lethal. ![]() Our Music Editor, Lauren Halliday, is a native Houstonian and she loves this store.Īfter dropping $120, I ventured outside into the sweltering heat and humidity and decided to do the most logical thing.įind the hottest chicken sandwich in Houston that I could find.įortunately, Howdy Hot Chicken is located around the corner from Cactus Music and they did not disappoint. It’s a bad sign when greed is driving prices to those levels and I can’t imagine anyone paying $900 for a Stooges or Little Richard record that are not really that rare. The prices at Cactus Music were also more reasonable than the other record stores that we visited and I’m still deeply puzzled by the $200 and $900 records that we saw at Sig’s Lagoon. I didn’t expect to find a stack of Israeli pop and folk records from the 1960s and 1970s but I bought 5 of them and they will get plenty of playing time in my collection. Rock, heavy metal, pop, classical, country, hip hop, folk, and some excellent international music are certainly plentiful. Jazz and blues fans should definitely look elsewhere. It was also bloody hot and probably a bad idea to get a hot chicken sandwich for lunch but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.Ĭactus Music is the type of record store where you can spend hours. Minus being left in the middle of a parking lot next to 2 bulldozers and a police car. The neighborhood is under heavy construction so don’t drive here expecting to find a parking spot. ![]() During my trip to Houston, I decided to visit Cactus Music which is an older record store located in the Montrose section of the city. ![]() ![]() ![]() These are going to be Water or Ice Hash, Rosin, Rosin Sap, and Sauce, and even Diamonds. ![]() The texture then may be used to name the product, as we will discuss below. These are often referred to as “BHO” or “Butane Hash Oil”, which has become an umbrella term for all hydrocarbon extracts, or solvent based. These concentrates are going to be Resins and Live Resins, and distillates. In our article about how concentrates are made, we go further into detail about the process of creating our favorite dabs, but we will give a brief overview here. To simplify, concentrates have two main categories: Solvent-based and Solventless. Secondly, the texture of the concentrate in its final form. The key differences in concentrates are, firstly, how they are made and what extraction process is used. We are here to let you know all about the different types of concentrates! What is the Difference Between Different Types of Concentrates? Shatter, batter, butter, sauce, diamonds…the list goes on and on. As the wax dries, the air gives the final product the waxy crumbly texture that shatter is missing.There’s a whole world of different types of concentrates, or dabs, in the cannabis market. They are also agitated to mix air into the final product. Crumble and other forms of wax are heated at a lower temperature during the drying process. If shatter is the hard candy of the concentrate world, then crumble is the cotton candy. If you follow the candy analogy further, different aeration and heat give us cotton candy, clear hard candy, and chewy caramel. The major difference between wax, crumble, and shatter is the amount of moisture in the oil, heat levels, and agitation used during the process. Budder and crumble are both wax variations. There are several extraction methods for wax, and CO2 is commonly used alongside butane. A little bit really goes a long way and you don’t want to end up locked on the couch (unless you do.) How is shatter different from wax? If you’re new to shatter, definitely take it slow and easy. Just a little sprinkle will do the trick. Shatter is also commonly used to top joints or flower. A little bit goes a long way and prices typically vary from $10 to $30 per gram. Shatter also offers a really large bang for your buck. You can learn about dabbing, and might consider trying it if you want an intense hit. Shatter is most commonly smoked by dabbing. This creates the glass-like sheen of shatter.
![]() A pre-cursor would be Munch’s The Kiss, which Picasso could have seen in reproduction, although this pastel is a directly inherited representation of the street scenes of Steinlen, an illustrator and painter whose work Picasso already knew before going to Paris via the reproductions in the book Gil Blas, which was very popular amongst artists in modern Barcelona. This pastel is very close to the oil painting Lovers in the Street (Zervos, I, 25), also from 1900, since both works represent an embrace with a Montmartre street slope in the background. Picasso looks at the embrace theme deliberately and in detail he does not want to be descriptive, but to participate, developing a series of works with the embrace as a main theme. Mission: EMBRace is a culturally-based therapeutic program that encourages African American youth and families to confront and resolve racial stress and. The embrace used as motif has precedents in the Modernist drawings made by the artist in Barcelona between 18, on display at the Museum. ![]() Everything takes place as if the couple’s space were isolated from the surrounding, with the urban landscape here serving the theme – a public embrace. The expressionist deformation of the bodies is accentuated with intense colours and the marked edges of the figures. The bodies and faces merge and the arms and hands, lacking anatomical references, envelop the lovers. The kiss is in the middle of the street on a dark night. To the forefront is a couple, a simple working man and woman, united in an embrace melting them into a single whole. Feel confident your claim will be approved. Follow the simple steps via MyEmbrace or our mobile app. The theme of The Embrace is interesting not only socially but also artistically. We get it, so we made it as simple and efficient as possible. Evoking atmosphere and a sense of place - with the habitat as a major element of the picture. The EMBRACE team reaches out to newly diagnosed patients, helping them through the confusing array of emotions and information that come with a cancer diagnosis.
