Starfire pet2/19/2023 ![]() Angered at Lord Trogaar's promise of destruction, she yelled at Robin, reminding him that she told him to leave her alone. Having been tracked by the Titans, she reunited with them and fought off the wave of Gordanians sent to recapture her. Once fully released, she sought out food in the form of popcorn and candy at the local video store. (This falls in line with how Tamaraneans learn a spoken language through lip contact with another life form.) And then Cyborg said that she knows how to leave a mark. She grabbed and kissed him to learn the English language, and warned him to leave her alone if they do not wish to be destroyed. Carefully, he talked the mysterious girl down and took off the handcuffs. Raven suggested that fighting may not be the answer, and only then did Robin notice the handcuffs. While attempting to free herself of the handcuffs with which she had been laden, she ended up both destroying buildings and cars, and running into four young teenagers with whom she would later fight crime. Through the use of her innate Tamaraneansuperhuman strength and incredible agility, she broke free from the brig aboard a Gordanian ship and landed in Jump City. Starfire came to Earth as Koriand'r, a Tamaranean princess being transported by Gordanians, in exile as a slave to the Citadel. Starfire's only family of which we know in the series is her evil big sister Blackfire. Starfire was cared for as a child by Galfore, who first appeared in Betrothed. Because of this, Starfire is inherently the most sensitive member of the Titans. In fact, it's their emotions that further increase their natural abilities of flight, and projection of pure ultraviolet energy. The Tamaraneans are an emotional race who see feelings and sensations as the force that drives their very livelihood and strengthens their abilities. Starfire was born and raised on the distant planet Tamaran before arriving on Earth and joining the Teen Titans. Starfire is particularly indignant to the point of snubbing her teammates when she believes they do not care for her friendship or company. She takes friendship very seriously, and is easily distressed when others, especially her friends, argue or fight. (For example, she did not understand what a boy meant when he asked if she was "diggin' the scene" when she was at a party, and stated, confused, "I did not know we were supposed to bring shovels.") This leads to much confusion for her and others, such as the awkwardness in casually drinking mustard as a beverage, and thinking cotton candy and cotton balls are the same thing. An alien and an outsider, she is still rather new to Earth and its customs. Despite her beauty, Starfire is cheerful, sweet, naive, and somewhat insecure, but her naivete is not to be mistaken for stupidity.

Dark side of the moom2/19/2023 Nor was there any specific, ultimate, end-Goal other than for bureaucrats and researchers to be able to directly communicate with each other. There was no “Vision” of what the Inet could be used for ~ and by whom ~ beyond that. Initially, it was conceived totally as a means to facilitate communications in government and scientific research, and that’s about it. ![]() I don’t think anybody involved in the earliest stages of the development of the Internet had any idea whatsoever about what it could and ultimately would become. I agree, Dennis, that the Internet certainly ranks right up there with the printing press, telescope and microscope, steam engine, electricity for lights and motors and then radio, television, and radar, x-ray, anesthesia, and antibiotics and vaccines, among other greatest inventions ever, at least at their time.īut i’m not sure we put our minds to creating the Internet in quite the same way that we put our minds to getting to the Moon. I’m trying to stay sober but I end up drunk I’m running out of water so I better prime the pump There’s kids all picking at the garbage dump Put my feet up on the couch and lock all the doorsįracking deep for oil but there’s nothing in the sump Just goes to show you don’t get what you paid forīowing to the rich and you worry ’bout the poor We lost all that treasure in an overseas war I had a dream last night I was piloting a planeĪnd all the passengers were drunk and insane Jeff, here is some Stones lyrics for you today my man! If we seek to understand the Moon in its entirety, we must see all its sides - especially its most battered one. And that “one side” is typically the one most favorable to America, the brightest one, the least cratered one, even the romantic one. Rather, just as it’s an incomplete picture to see the Moon from only one side and perspective, so too is it a limiting experience to see America from only one side. My point here is not to focus exclusively on the dark side of America. These men and women (and many others) sought to shine a probing light on some of the darker sides of American behavior, and you won’t be surprised to learn that they suffered for it. Or how about an anarchist like Emma Goldman. And an outspoken Catholic worker by the name of Dorothy Day. And let’s throw an Aussie in there too: Julian Assange. Who are some of these “astronomers” who seek to show us America in a new light? I’d like to mention a few names here: Daniel Ellsberg, Daniel Hale, John Kiriakou, Chelsea Manning, and Edward Snowden. (I think I’m right here, based upon my own reading on our solar system, which I admit was many, many moons ago.)Ĭan we also see the dark side of other objects? See the familiar in strikingly unfamiliar ways? How about America? It’s not easy, because those who try to help us to see are often punished for their probing in darker places. Without a large Moon near us, life on Earth may have proved more precarious, with more mass extinctions due to asteroid strikes. In a sense, the Moon acts as a shield for the Earth, with some asteroids getting funneled into its gravitational well and striking its surface rather than possibly colliding with the Earth. Here we see the battered side of the Moon. I love seeing familiar objects in unfamiliar ways. And that dark side presents us with a whole new idea of the Moon, as so: A truly captivating vision of the dark side of the Moon, courtesy of NASA Until the beginning of the space age, we never saw its dark side.

Given the gig takes place in the USA, there is a preponderance of the Humble Pie material, played and sung expertly by “the voice that pulverises”.ĭo yourself a favour – highly recommended! **** The live tracks on CD Two are from a scintillating gig at Annie’s Club in Cincinnati, with Steve and his band showcasing Marriott’s soul-man classics, together with a smattering of Small Faces and Humble Pie. ![]() The surprises keep on coming – “Lonely No More” was written as the first single for the reformed Small Faces but never released, and “Middle Aged Anxiety“ documents Steve’s feeling surrounding John Lennon’s death. “Ain’t You Glad New York Can’t Talk” is pure class, while “Poor Man’s Rich Man” brings Steve’s original Artful Dodger West End stage past up to date. Perhaps more laidback than most would expect, it still packs one hell of a bite – as his rendition of Brenda Lee’s “Sweet Nuthins” will testify. However, what matters is the music – which is exceptional.Ĭulled together from various recording sessions at Pyramid Eye studio in Cincinnati, and Capricorn studio in Macon Georgia, the studio tracks offer a glimpse of the variety and depth of Steve’s solo work. It doesn’t actually have anything to do with Humble Pie, except as a reminder of unscrupulous times where posters and billings would appear with the Humble Pie title, as promoters tried to sell more tickets by doing this. However, this two CD re-release is Steve Marriott solo – both studio and live recordings. Peter Frampton left the band and continued his journey to the best selling live album of all time, while Marriott perfected a unique fusion between rock, blues and soul via Humble Pie’s “soul revue” with The Blackberries, the cream of LA Session singers who had worked with The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Barbra Streisand. In the USA, on the other hand, Humble Pie left an indelible mark across countless headlining tours, playing everywhere from Madison Square Gardens to Shea Stadium. Don’t forget all those classic hit singles and the wonderful Number One album “Ogdens Nut Gone Flake”. Also rememberd by many as Britain’s best blue eyed soul singer, and not least for his songwriting partnership with Ronnie Lane.

The Child has become so strong that he managed to defeat the Mother, while fracturing the Veil in the process, allowing the Suffering a step closer to breaking through into reality as an egg waiting to hatch. She has prevented the Others from causing such harm for hundreds of years, but now has failed in protecting the Chosen One, “ The Child”, who has succumb to the Suffering, one of the oldest Others who fed on the Child’s misery and pain to give him immortality.

It reads like tax code and getting through the book and finally to the table will be a labor of love or curiosity. It is not a sit down and wing it kind of book. Because of this, the rulebook is, to say the least, robust. Game Experience:Ĭivilization is a solidly developed game and has been so for a long time. Players migrate populations and fortify areas against their neighbors. While the first four epochs require players to merely have a number of civilization cards, the final epoch requires players to achieve 1200 to 1400 points (depending on the culture) in civilization cards to win the game. The progress chart splits play into 5 epochs. In the end though, the real value of these cards are the points they grant towards the progress chart for each player. ![]() While most of the civilization cards are prerequisites or discounts toward more valuable civilization cards, some of them grant extra abilities such as extra movement, conflict benefits, or resistance to calamities. The real pioneering mechanism that Tresham introduced with Civilization was in the trading of these commodity/trade cards for civilization cards. Mixed in with the trade cards though are calamity cards (Volcanic Eruption, Earthquakes, Flood, etc) which, unsurprisingly, can wreak havoc on the board later in the turn. Cities are used to generate commodity/trade cards from the nine different commodity types for players. Populations can also be converted to cities, but if they aren’t, and the maximum population for an area is reached, that area revolts (i.e. Each turn these populations grow, migrate, enter into conflict with one another, overwhelm a geographic area, and/or revolt. Players start by choosing an ancient culture and placing their starting populations in different areas of the ancient world. The first four epochs require players to merely have a number of civilization cards, the final epoch requires players to achieve 1200 to 1400 points in civilization cards to win the game. I will attempt to summarize as best I can, but honestly feel free to check out the rules somewhere online or watch a runthrough on your favorite video streaming service to get a real feel for the nuances in the playthrough. There are many steps to a single turn (THIRTEEN) and while they aren’t difficult in practice, they seem to be difficult to communicate and visualize without your hands on the paper. Read on to see how it played out with our group.Ĭivilization is an area control, set collection, civilization building board game for 2 to 7 players and can take from 2.5 to 8 hours. While this is certainly one of the sparks that started the fire, the question is whether or not it can still satisfy a modern audience. Removing the dice-rolling mechanisms, Tresham was able to tap into the anti-luck sentiment that many modern gamers still carry with them to this day. ![]() This is truly the root that sprouted the modern version of the genre. Best known for his creation of the 18xx genre of train games, Francis Tresham is also responsible for developing the civilization building tech-tree mechanism with his 1980 classic Civilization.
