![]() ![]() Their separate lives are symbolized by two vials of sand (usually. If you chose to seek sand from the beach, ensure it is dry before the big day comes around. Like the unity candle, the sand is used to symbolize the uniting of the bride and groom. Some people choose coloured sand for aesthetic reasons, while others have the vessels housing the sand turned into a work of art like a glass sculpture which they can display in their home - all great options to consider but really, it's about what suits you and your partner and what makes it right for you. A deeper discussion of the ceremony is given below, followed by samples of scripts for a typical ceremony. This is especially lovely if you have children or are uniting a blended family. The wedding sand ceremony, which is also referred to as a unity sand ceremony, is a wedding tradition wherein two small vessels of sand are poured into a third vessel. While traditionally just the couple tying the knot takes part in the ritual, other family members can be involved too. There are so many ways to make a sand ceremony your own from choosing sentimental vessels to pouring sand that you and your partner gathered from a place that is meaningful to you (you can also purchase sand online!). How Can We Personalise Our Sand Ceremony? The celebrant can make the sand ceremony really unique to the couple by weaving their story into the ritual, making the pouring of the grains of sand even more moving, meaningful and special. The ceremony is usually performed by a celebrant or officiant and is very straightforward to organise. As weddings began to move outdoors, people began to look for alternatives to candles as the flames would often be blown out by the wind and this is where the idea of using sand was born! How is it performed? The traditional candle ceremony, practised in the Catholic and Christian Church, saw a couple light two candles individually before lighting a central candle together using the two flames. An alternative to the unity candle ceremony, the sand ceremony became popular in the 1980s. While the tradition stems from religious ceremonies, this ritual has evolved and now couples of all faiths and backgrounds can choose to incorporate a sand ceremony into their day. ![]() Photo by Gillian Higgins via One Fab Day Where Did This Ritual Stem From? ![]()

![]() ![]() Six months before the game starts, this ship went through a catastrophe of its own. ![]() Those ships were built very quickly for war. The USS Resolute is a modified Centaur class, which we saw during the Dominion War in that big arc on Deep Space Nine. People want to know the nitty gritty about these ships. Are you going to reveal more about it?ĭan Martin: Oh, you're definitely gonna get to firsthand look at the outside of it. The starship that you've mentioned is the USS Resolute, and details about that ship had been kind of under wraps for the last few months. To be on the bridge of a starship and to be in the lower decks or in engineering and just discover things for yourself as a fan. As opposed to just one kind of thing.Īndrew Grant: To the point of immersion, we try and take the story off-rails as much as we can, and let you just explore the environment. So we're gonna give you all of those experiences in the way that you would experience on a TV show. We looked at the great Star Trek movies or a great season of television like Strange New Worlds, and all the different types of experiences of the camaraderie, the challenges you face with command, with mysterious situations, and exploration.Īlso, some phaser fights, and you get to fly a shuttle from time to time, and puzzles, and discovering strange new worlds. It's not like we're taking a shooting game and just skinning it with Starfleet uniforms and phasers. We looked at this as an opportunity for this type of game where we can give you a bunch of different experiences. How do you respond to that? This sounds like it hits all the sweet spots of what living in the Star Trek universe would actually be like.ĭan Martin: That's what we wanted to do. I think as Star Trek fans, we all fantasize about living on a starship and what it's like day-to-day before having a crisis come up. And also, you're gonna be making choices as that engineer that change the state of the world that impact what the First Officer is going to be contending with in these high-stakes situations. Which is an interesting dynamic.ĭan Martin: Choices as the First Officer will then have an impact on what you're doing, as the engineer say, out on the hull of the ship and in an emergency. You're making choices that can ripple through to your other POV character, as well. And then there's another playable character on the lower decks, Carter Diaz, and very similarly, you're shaping those relationships. You really get to shape the dynamics and your relationship with the captain. How did I interact with this character that I have developed a relationship with over the course of however many hours you get to play?Īndrew Grant: Yeah, and the emotional stakes are real. So I think those are the things that people generally remember about these games. You haven't brought them into your circle when you had the opportunity. But also, the most impactful choices will be the ones about whether somebody is going to ultimately turn their back on you or not because you've rejected them, you haven't treated them right. ![]() It's life or death stakes, life or death choices. (laughs) But you're gonna make choices that will decide the fates of your crew, and of groups of people. Or in another one, you're not going to retire to become a purveyor of ice cream in a truck in the 20th century.ĭan Martin: There's always room for a sequel. And so you're not going to end up necessarily living on a planet with mermaids or going to the Mirror Universe. At the same time, we're telling a story that has a general arc, a beginning, middle and end. Theoretically, can you push it to the extreme? Can Jara start a war and end up in prison like Michael Burnham in Star Trek: Discovery?ĭan Martin: There are opportunities to take some really big swings in this game as your player character. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino is a delicious treat that can be used to start your day or finish your night.

It’s not indicated if the seller has a categorized inventory of everything shown here, but that can be ascertained with an inquiry. We always look at synergy and consider the whole to be greater than the individual components, but sometimes with older cars, especially valuable cars, the reverse can be true if one is in possession of rare or hard to find items. Looking at the ’57 Thunderbird, my favorite of the three years, a completed car, in reasonably nice shape, sells for about what the seller is asking for this parts inventory. There are about eight rolling chassis included so there is the fundamental basis here to build something greater. The seller adds, “ The package includes engines, transmissions, hardtops, soft top assemblies, doors, windshields, windows, seats, dashboards, front and rear bumpers, hoods and trunks, front and rear quarter panels, fenders, large red open trailer included in the package. And considering that 1957 was 64 years ago, it’s amazing to find such a cache of parts still available for the beloved ‘Bird. So having a wide selection of components available is a definite help regardless of the scope of repairs or restoration being attempted. The generation one Thunderbird production volume rang up a total of 53K copies, so rarity is not the case but true to form there were differences from year to year so parts for one model year may not necessarily fit the next. Nevertheless, of the eleven generations of the Ford Thunderbird, many hold generation one, the ’55-’57, as the true, essential Thunderbird. But from Ford’s perspective, sales jumped from 21K in ’57 to almost 38K (81%) in ’58 – and that was a shortened model year, so yes, it did. Was it a make sense move? If you’re a real car guy or gal, you’d probably say no. The story goes that Robert McNamara, a Ford executive at the time, and later company president, was concerned about the marketing limitations imposed on the Thunderbird as a result of it not having a backseat so a redesign commenced, with the bigger “Square-Bird” debuting in February 1958. It one-upped the Corvette by being strictly a V8 engine-equipped car which the ‘Vette wasn’t in ’53 and ’54 and only moved to a V8, as an option, ostensibly due to the arrival of the Thunderbird for ’55. The Corvette was billed out as a sports car, whereas the Thunderbird was more of a two-seat personal car that emphasized refinement, power, and an upscale bearing. Where some may say that it was a competitor to Chevrolet’s recently introduced Corvette, it really wasn’t. The first generation of Ford’s Thunderbird is an interesting tale as the production run barely got started before it ended with an entirely new car that still bore the Thunderbird name, and seemingly, little else. This treasure trove of 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird parts and bodies is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and is available, here on Barn Finds Classifieds for $45,000. That being the case, let’s see what we have here. As the seller states, “ Almost enough parts to complete several project cars“. It’s not exactly Amos Minter’s ’55-’57 Thunderbird restoration business, but it’s an impressive collection of Baby-Bird parts and partial cars, nevertheless. ![]() ![]() Tell us if you like it by leaving a comment below and please remember to show your support by sharing it with your family and friends and purchasing Jason Aldean's music.

If they weren't intended to be able to be used that way - it would say so. Sorcerers have a tool - font of magic - that lets them regain sorcery points from spell slots.

Metamagic Adept sorcery points can only be used on metamagic, but there's no restriction on creating them, and the flexible casting class feature just says you can convert spells slots into sorc points, with no language that would prevent you from creating metamagic adept sorc points with the feature. I can't think of any reason this wouldn't work, but I can't find any mention of it anywhere on the internet, and am worried I'm missing some obscure rule or interpretation that makes it illegal (putting aside JCraw's tweet, with which I disagree, that one could technically interpret the multiclassing rules to disallow using warlock slots for anything from other classes other than casting spells).įlexible casting can only convert spell slots? Warlock "pact slots" are called "spell slots" in the rules. Assuming I first convert any of the remaining 3 sorc points from the class feature into sorc spell slots, can I then sacrifice a lvl 5 Warlock spell slot to refill all 5 of those spent sorcery points? And then take a short rest and get the Warlock slot back. 2 of them from the feat may ONLY be used for metamagic, but let's say I used them to quicken a spell in the morning, then take a short rest. ![]() Sorc 3 plus metamagic adept gives a cap of a total of 5 sorc points.

When learning about the platypus, it’s easy to see why some people might wish to keep such an unusual, unique animal as a pet. And, if those features weren’t unique enough, female platypuses lay eggs and males can produce venom. Some of their most interesting features include webbed feet, a wide, flat tail, and a bill which helps them navigate underwater. Platypuses are quite unusual creatures, even to look at. Until the early 20th Century, they were also hunted for their coat, which led to a decline in numbers. But, are potentially under threat because of their specific habitat needs. ![]() They can be found living in Australian freshwater rivers and estuaries. However, unlike other mammals, the platypus lays eggs rather than birthing live offspring. The platypus is a water-based mammal that originates in Australia. So, let’s take a closer look at platypus care to find the answer! This desire has led to many people wondering if the platypus could make a good pet. The platypus is an Australian mammal that combines some pretty unusual body parts, like a duck bill, webbed feet, and a waterproof, furry body! Exotic pets are becoming a popular trend, as more people want to care for something more unusual than the standard dog or cat.

Today we’ll help you to decide whether you are able to give a platypus a home, and how to keep them safe and happy. ![]() They love to hunt, which keeps their brains and bodies busy. Getting the right food matters because it helps to keep them active. Pet platypus diets need to reflect what a wild platypus would eat. They need a big space, lots of water and the right nutrition. A pet platypus is affectionate, loving, playful and funny. ![]() ![]() ![]() 8 is a massive help, and when the ball's doing a bit in the air or off the pitch he's massively in the game.

Obvious if you get in you could score runs. Got to give credit to how he took the game on.

Both sides have gone hard at the tail and that's something we'll have to combat. Stokesy was very clear about my role, bowl short, sharp spells and give it everything I've got. I don't know if it's the quickest, coming down the hill I was thinking of Bob Willis. Too early for that, any higher and I'll be getting a nosebleed.
