![]() Lore-wise, she should be as caustically superior to everyone around her with the probable exception of space marines and Inquisitors and even then you can't completely breed out that level of arrogance and haughty. Navigators are not going to sully their bloodline with someone who's also not a navigator. That's a literal time bomb and I would execute her or box her up as warp fuel the first second I get. Though, by the way she's described, she seems as much of an outlier like Cain is. Speaking of Cain, a singular exception of a man (It wouldn't surprise me if the Emperor had an overt hand in pushing his luck to the extremes), he did meet a retired SoB in the schola progenium who was in a clandestine relationship with a retired ministorum drone. If they survive long enough to retire, sure. They're not required to be celibate but while they're on active duty, like thunda mentioned, they're going to be occupied with only their duty to the Emperor and the Imperium.

Enforcing the theme and the narrative are the use of sound effects, such as a door creaking or a pendulum swinging on the Poe-inspired Shadow of the Raven. Vocals and narratives are also used sparingly to help relate a story or serve as introduction to a musical piece, for example, the voice of " Jonathan Harker" and whispered female voices of " Dracula's brides" that beckon to the listener, a carnival barker with the indistinct sounds of an audience in the distance, or " Edgar Allan Poe" and a voice calling out from the grave after being prematurely buried, the gravelly voice of a "witch" casting a spell, and a variety of low Gregorian-style chanting and choirs. Our concept has always been to create moody and melody-driven gothic soundscapes that take the listener on a musical journey through various dark realms of fantasy." Ĭarnival of Lost Souls though primarily a dark cabaret-style album, also contains a heavy metal song, while the music on the Blood of Angels album blends industrial dance and tribal rhythms with ethereal-style vocals. We utilize a variety of instruments such as piano, pipe organ, violin, acoustic guitar, drums and tolling bells to achieve symphonic orchestrations. Joseph Vargo explained Nox Arcana's style to a blogger from : "Our music is mainly classically based instrumental, although we do incorporate chanting choirs and spoken narratives for dramatic effect to achieve a blend of darkly haunting melodies that encompass the complete gothic spectrum the romantic, the mysterious, and the horrific. ![]() Their music is generally classified as dark neoclassical or dark ambient, "sometimes sandwiched into the gothic music genre" and aptly labeled "atmospheric gothic." The moods associated with Nox Arcana music describe it as ominous, romantic, lush, epic, otherworldly, menacing, spooky and eerie, Nox Arcana's music covers a broad range of subgenres within the rock and alternative music categories. Some albums also include cymbals, lutes, acoustic guitars, bagpipes and glockenspiel, depending on the theme of a given album. ![]() Instrumentation varies with each album as appropriate to the theme or time period of the album concept, and typically includes piano, bells, violin, pipe organ, harpsichord, timpani drums and other percussion. Nox Arcana's music is melodic and moody, focusing on a dominant melody line. ![]() Nox Arcana's music is often used to provide atmosphere for films, public events, role-playing games and during Halloween at theme parks, several of which have based haunted attractions on Nox Arcana's original theme albums, Transylvania and Blackthorn Asylum. Now more than half of Nox Arcana's CDs contain some sort of hidden puzzle, which is left to the listener to discover. He later went back and did the same for some of the earlier CDs. Beginning with the Blood of the Dragon CD in 2006, Vargo began a tradition of incorporating a quest or adventure within the album artwork and sometimes leaving clues in his narratives. In addition to the storytelling aspect of each album, hidden puzzles and interactive quests are incorporated into the album artwork and into the music itself. Nox Arcana specializes in concept albums based on original stories, as well as gothic fiction and classic horror literature Some of their albums also make reference to medieval themes and ancient mythology. With their third album, Nox Arcana became a Billboard Top Ten charting artist in the holiday genre. According to the Nox Arcana biography, the name is derived from two Latin words that roughly translate to "mysteries of the night." Īll of Nox Arcana's music is released independently on the Monolith Graphics label, a publishing company owned by Vargo. ![]() It was founded in 2003 as a duo with William Piotrowski, who left in 2008 to pursue a career in film score composing but still acts as its studio engineer whereas Vargo continued on as a solo act under the name.

By David Phelanĭefault notifications sounds can be customized to a greater degree-something previously restricted to texts, mail and calendar alerts. There’s also Qi2 charger support for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, which haven’t had it until now. Similar to NameDrop (which is entirely secure, despite the furor that arose last week about it), you can now share boarding passes or movie tickets just by bringing two iPhones together. Typing messages, or anything else, is updated so you can turn off predictions inline, although personally I love that feature. There are improvements to Messages, including body shape customization in your Memoji, stickers to add to messages as reactions, and security improvements to protect against spyware. You can now set it to Translate, making it easy to have conversations in foreign languages without even having to open an app. These videos will play back in 3D on the headset-I’ve seen these videos on the headset, and they look amazing-but just regular 2D on the iPhone.Īlso on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max only, there’s a new shortcut for the Action button, which replaced the Mute/Ring slider of previous iPhones. With this update you can shoot spatial video on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. ![]() ![]() Talking of integration, with this release Apple AAPL has added the capability to shoot video in a particular way that will integrate with Apple’s next big product category, the Apple Vision Pro headset. It’s designed to help improve your wellbeing and is stunningly integrated into the iPhone, all securely encrypted to help your private entries stay for your eyes only. Chief among these is the new Journal app, which helps you write about the stuff that’s happening to you. Unlike the last couple of updates, which were all about bug fixes and security measures, iOS 17.2 has lots of new features as well as the customary bug-squishing effects. ![]() Then I went back to the middle, finished it, and I mean, I was hysterical. So I went upstairs and started to read it and when I was halfway through I was so upset that I went right to the ending, and I was a mess. She later recalled her initial, highly emotional reaction to Phelan's screenplay: "I got the script along with this really wonderful letter from (producer) Marty Starger saying that they (Starger andīogdanovich) wanted me for the movie and they hoped I liked the script as much as they did. Screenwriter Anna Hamilton Phelan claimed to have written the original version of Mask's script with an 8 x 10 photograph of Cher on the wall for inspiration, so it's fortuitous that Cher eventually wanted to play Rusty. He and Cher both give beautifully measured performances. This character study is especially successful when you consider that Stoltz, who is covered in facial prosthetics, has to convey his emotions via his eyes. One of Rocky's goals in life is to meet a girl who will fall in love with him despite his disfigurement, and he gets the chance when he meets Diana (Laura Dern), a beautiful blind girl. When Rocky isn't busy watching after his selfish mother, he attempts to live a normal life. Rocky's mother, Rusty, is a classic drug-abusing "biker chick" who hangs out with a bunch of motorcyclists led by Gar (Sam Elliott). Mask is based on the true story of Rocky Dennis (Eric Stoltz), an exceptionally kind, sensitive teenager who suffers from craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, a condition in which calcium forms on the skull and causes it to grow to an unsightly, abnormal size. His resurgence would turn out to be short-lived. In fact, by the time it was completed, he had alienated an entire film studio, and Cher was willing to tell anyone within earshot that she hated his guts. ![]() The film may have done well at the box office, and it may have helped solidify Cher's standing as a legitimate screen actress, but it was far from a breeze for Bogdanovich to make. It was something of a shock, then, when Bogdanovich scored a critical and commercial hit with a 1985 tear-jerker called Mask. A major round of industry schadenfreude ensued. Bogdanovich's reportedly enormous ego, a very public breakup with his wife, financial problems, and a couple of irredeemable box office bombs starring his semi-talented new squeeze, Cybil Shepherd, all helped turn the boy genius into a laughingstock within the film community. In other words, the studios could go to hell. Bogdanovich even joined Francis Ford Coppola and William Friedkin in forming a company that would give them complete control and financing for any pictures they wanted to make. ![]() Then came the popular screwball comedy, What's Up, Doc? (1972), and the Howard Hawks-inspired Depression-era road picture, Paper Moon (1973). After directing a remarkably inventive, no-budget thriller called Targets (1968), Bogdanovich graduated to the majors with The Last Picture Show (1971), one of the more evocative ruminations on small-town American life ever committed to film. By Hollywood standards, Peter Bogdanovich was riding about as high as you can get in the early 1970s. ![]() I hated the tiny trackball Apple mouse and tossed it to get the first Magic Mouse. I use a full wired Apple keyboard for my Mac mini and my internet connection is wired, no Airport allowed. On my Windows 7 computer I no longer use any wireless devices and consequently I have had no connection issues since last summer. ![]() I wish there was a wired/usb option for the mouse. Now what do I do with the most expensive mouse ive bought?" ![]() I would rather use an old ball mouse than the magic mouse. " The Apple Magic Mouse is quite frankly the most expensive, heaviest, uncomfortable and unpredictable mouse I have used in my life! I did a general search for this issue and your description seemed the closest I could find so far to mms issue. For the record I am running a Mac mini (Late 2012) OS X 10.11.2 with any updates that have been offered. Except for these annoyances it works much better that my original MM. It had been recently charged so power should not have been an issue. I have examined the MM2 lens but it looks normal. After a few moments I'm back on the mouse pad and it's working again. I wasn't in a place to do a restart and kept working off the mouse pad. Back on the pad it's still stuck horizontally. I moved it off the mouse pad and it worked flawlessly. It will move side to side but not vertically. Starting this week I have two times where the pointer is locked horizontally. The issue always resolved itself after a brief time. Before this week I have had times the mouse pointer either froze on the screen or moved very sluggishly for a period of time. I bought it when I bought my MM2 almost two months. I'm curious if your problem persists off the mouse pad? I also use a mouse pad. ![]() Using Activity Monitor, I found that VirusBarrier had a relatively low impact on my Mac’s memory and CPU - even though I had the maximum protections enabled, which is the most CPU-intensive option. I also liked how the scans didn’t significantly impact my Mac’s performance, which is impressive considering the robust protection that VirusBarrier offers. Subsequent Full Scans were much faster, too, thanks to Intego’s built-in file caching technology that skips over previously scanned files marked as safe. ![]() Intego’s Quick Scan took just over 5 minutes to scan over 300,000 files, whereas the Full Scan analyzed over 2 million files on my Mac and only took 1 hour! This is much faster than a lot of other antivirus scanners. VirusBarrier also has the option to scan emails for viruses (if you’re using Apple’s Mail app), and it can also detect PC-based malware, so there’s no risk of you spreading infected files to friends, family, or colleagues that use PCs. So although Intego doesn’t offer an iOS app, it’s still easy to ensure that your iPhone and iPad don’t have any hidden malicious files. Using VirusBarrier, you can run virus scans of your entire Mac and any connected external drives or iOS devices. Its dashboard is simple and easy to use, but it still contains all of the essential virus protection tools, such as an antivirus scanner, a real-time protection engine, scan scheduling, and malware removal. VirusBarrier is Intego’s malware scanner. Note: If you want to read about Intego Antivirus for Windows, click here.But overall, Intego is a great product - it scored top marks in macOS virus protection, ease of use, and overall value it’s cheaper than most other Mac-based antiviruses and it ranked as the #1 antivirus for Mac in 2023. So, is Intego worth the money? Definitely! There are a few things that could be improved, such as having one single interface, better instructions in a few places, and a VPN that’s included as part of its main package. ContentBarrier - parental controls (way better than Mac’s parental controls).Personal Backup - advanced data backup tool.Mac Washing Machine - system cleaner and optimizer.Intego’s discounted Mac Premium Bundle X9 also adds great extras, such as: ![]() Now, it’s not perfect, but Intego has done a lot of good things with its two macOS malware protection engines - VirusBarrier and NetBarrier - both of which scored exceptionally well during my testing. It’s not easy to find a good Mac antivirus, but after testing virtually all of the macOS antiviruses out there, I can confirm that Intego is my favorite. Intego is the best antivirus software for Macs on the market.
![]() Although it says fits 22-37 lbs, in other diapers the way her legs are she needs the large size. So I couldn't get a very good test for you. My son is in a size 2 and my daughter (who is still in them at night) wears a size 5. I have no little one in my house that wears this size, so I'm not sure why I was sent them.

I love finding affordable, high quality wipes and Well Beginnings baby wipes fit the bill.
