[ Every TV series has opening credits - some are flashy, some are entertaining, and most are pretty boring. Morphing from one wife to another with The Beach Boys song "God Only Knows" playing in the background, the intro is able to tell the story of the show in such an artistic fashion that we can't help but want to watch the show. While the credits roll we watch as the protagonist Bill Henrickson happily dances, skates and shares moments with each of his wives. With such a unique premise, creating an intro the show may seem daunting, but HBO hit the nail on the head with this nearly perfect opening credit sequence. The main plot of Big Love follows a polygamous family, and exposes the drama within a family made up of one husband and three wives. While Big Love may be HBO's least publicized program on their schedule, its dreamlike introduction to the show is enough to get the attention of even the most skeptical viewer. In a very cool touch, in the second season, the show began having a different musical act - including everyone from Elvis Costello to Death Cab for Cutie - perform the title song, Malvina Reynolds's suburbia parodying "Little Boxes," for each episode. The main character of Weeds is an attractive single mom living in this town, who goes against expectations by selling marijuana, and this satirical credit sequence tells you a lot going into any given episode, both about what would make her different in this environment, and why some of these people would want to get stoned to escape it all. Multiple versions of the same car pulls out of every driveway the same businessman keeps walking out of the same coffee shop the same jogging outfits are seen on all the joggers at the park and so on and so forth. The opening credits of Weeds are all about conformity, as we watch shots of an idealized suburban town where everyone and everything is amusingly, frighteningly, and literally the same. While this type of insane opening wouldn't work for 99% of the shows on television, it seems to be the perfect fit for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. With the intro to the show prepping us for a smooth and charismatic team of extraterrestrial fighters, it surprises most to find out that the show follows the laziest and most obnoxious "superhero force" ever assembled. Following the madcap insanity that programming is known for, Aqua Teen has a theme song written and performed by Eighties gangster rap pioneer Schoolly D - which the lyrics of the song have been said to have been written on the way to the recording studio in his limo - accompanied by images of the main characters in elaborate action sequences. Although many television shows have higher production values in their opening sequence, Aqua Teen Hunger Force blows many of them away by creating an opening that humorously has nothing to do with the show. The anticipated game Star Trek: Resurgence is already released on Xbox Series X in the USA and UK. Summary: Star Trek: Resurgence is a narrative adventure game featuring dialog choices, relationship building, and exploration.

Star Trek: Resurgence promises to be the deep dive into the TNG era of the Star Trek universe fans have been waiting for, and that wait is soon about to be over. Mixed or average reviews based on 10 Ratings. May 23rd is also right before the Memorial Day weekend, which is prime gaming time during the holiday. Lawrence Bonk Ap1:02 PM Developer Dramatic Labs has set a release date of May 23rd for the narrative adventure game Star Trek: Resurgence. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical about playing Star Trek: Resurgence given that I’m not much of a Trekkie at all. The late May release date for Star Trek: Resurgence positions the game at a good time for fans, as it's between Star Trek: Picard season 3, which just ended last week, and a few weeks before the release of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, which premieres June 15 on Paramount+.

One of the biggest, Ambassador Spock, was already announced last year. Resurgence also includes several characters who will be very familiar to Star Trek fans. Designed as a truly immersive experience with the late-24th century era, Resurgence is set after Star Trek: Nemesis as the Resolute encounters a new alien threat to the United Federation of Planets. Star Trek: Resurgence lets players become two new Starfleet Officers aboard the Centaur Class USS Resolute: First Officer Jara Rydek and Engineer Carter Diaz. Without a doubt, 'Star Trek: Resurgence' is an ambitious first project for Dramatic Labs. These simultaneous reflections produce a property known as aventurescence, and thus the name "strawberry aventurine". The flakes of pink mica are in a subparallel alignment that enables them to simultaneously reflect incident light. Strawberry Aventurine: This tumbled stone is made up of quartzite that obtains its pink color from tiny flakes of pink mica (lepidolite). They can also be made into unique jewelry items that are both interesting and attractive. Strawberry quartz specimens, tumbled stones, cabochons, and other strawberry quartz items are popular with gemstone collectors, mineral collectors, and lapidary enthusiasts. (We are waiting for Le Vian to mount strawberry quartz stones in their trademarked strawberry gold mountings.) The buyer might splurge on a 14 karat rose gold mounting. That allows it to be made into inexpensive jewelry using sterling silver or 10 karat gold mountings. Strawberry quartz makes beautiful cabochons, beads, bangles, and faceted gems.Īlthough strawberry quartz is rare, it remains an inexpensive gem. The most popular use of strawberry quartz is in jewelry. Specimen and photo by Arkenstone / Uses of Strawberry Quartz This specimen was collected near Chihuahua, Mexico and measures about 5.7 x 5.5 x 4 centimeters in size. Although the red hematite crystals account for a small volume of the specimen, they fill the quartz crystal with a wonderful red color and give it an aventurescent reflectance. It is a terminated quartz crystal that is packed with tiny acicular crystals of reflective red hematite. Rose Quartz elixir is one of my favourite love rituals.Strawberry Quartz Crystal: This collector-grade specimen perfectly fits the definition of "strawberry quartz". Drink up and let the loving energy emanate from inside out!.This might seem strange, but water has memory! So for example, if you are manifesting love you can say "I am receiving unconditional love" or "a happy, loving relationship is on the way to me." Now that you are in a higher-vibration state, repeat affirmations to the water, that are related to your manifestation.You can do this for 5 minutes or 15 minutes - however much time you need or have available. Sit in silence, visualizing your manifestations.Really feel into the emotions as if it were already here. You can start by saying "I am so happy and grateful now that." and begin describing the ideal scenario you're attracting into your life. Start journaling about exactly what you want to manifest.Once your crystal elixir is ready, I recommend making the entire experience intentional so you can maximize manifestation potential. Place the test tube in water and let it sit for 2-4 hours. Using a test tube, fill with crystal chips.Ģ. (This way is generally safer and preferable)ġ. The water will absorb the vibrations of the crystal and will soon become a very powerful elixir. Place the glass or jar under the sunlight or moonlight for 2-3 hours.Take the crystal and place it at the bottom of a drinking class / mason jar.I do this by running it under water, and visualize white light washing over the stone. Cleanse the Rose Quartz crystal (use a raw stone for this). There are two methods, direct and indirect: So how do you make a rose quartz crystal elixir? It's easy! When creating a crystal elixir, it is important to do your research first as not all crystals are suitable (some can be toxic, some can be damaged in water).īy creating an elixir (also known as gem water or crystal water) you will be able to receive the beautiful vibrational energy of the crystal within you, supercharging your manifestations. One of my favourite ways, is to create a rose quartz elixir.įor centuries people have used crystal elixirs, they are known for their powerful healing properties. There are many ways to use this beautiful crystal, and to bring it into your manifestation practices.
