Who were the Celts?
Early historical sources
[image: Warriors fighting.]
Illustration of warriors fighting. This illustration typifies the classic view of the early Celts as fierce and individual warriors.
Today, Wales is considered a Celtic nation, one of a family of nations and regions along the Atlantic fringes of western Europe. This Celtic identity is widely accepted, contributing powerfully towards a modern national identity. Classical authors first recorded the Celts over 2,500 years ago - but who were the earliest Celts?
The early Celts rarely wrote about themselves. To the Greeks, they were known as Keltoi, Keltai or Galatai and to the Romans Celti, Celtae and Galli.
First mention of the Celts was made by the Greeks authors between 540 and 424BC. But the most valuable insights are provided by Roman authors - as the Roman world was expanding, they came in direct contact with the Celts on their northern borders.
The Classical texts are incomplete, often copied long after the event. The information we have therefore provides, at best, occasional 'snap shot' glimpses of Celts.
Early sources place Celts in western Europe and also occupying land near the headwaters of the Danube river. Their home territories have often been traced to central and eastern France, extending across southern Germany and into the Czech Republic.
The Four tribal regions of Wales
[image: Coin of the Roman Republic]
Coin of the Roman Republic showing the head of a Gaul with lime-washed hair. The Roman historian Diodorus Siculus describes this tradition in his writings. Such sources offer brief and possibly distorted 'snap shots' of the Celts.
Interestingly, none of the Classical texts refer to the peoples of Britain and Ireland as Celts; instead, specific tribes and leaders are named during the 1st centuries BC and AD. By the time of the Roman invasion of Britain, four tribal peoples occupied areas of modern day Wales:
- Ordovices (north-west)
- Deceangli (north-east)
- Demetae (south-west)
- Silures (south-east)
To understand how Celts first came to be associated with Wales, we must turn to the historical development of Celtic linguistics (the study of languages).
[image: Archaeologia Britannica]
Edward Lhuyd's Archaeologia Britannica (1707). This pioneering study led to the recognition of two families of Celtic languages.
George Buchanon, a 16th-century scholar, suggested that the peoples of continental Europe had once spoken a related group of Gallic languages. Since modern Welsh, Irish and Scots Gaelic were similar to these ancient languages, the people of Britain, it was argued, originally came from France and Spain.
A pioneering study by Edward Lhuyd in 1707 recognised two families of Celtic languages, P-Celtic or Brythonic (Welsh, Breton, Cornish) and Q-Celtic or Goidelic (Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx). The Brythonic languages were assumed to have come from Gaul (France), whilst the Goidelic languages were given an Iberian (Spain, Portugal) origin.
During the 18th century, people who spoke Celtic languages were seen as Celts. The ancient inhabitants of Wales, were therefore increasingly known as Celts.
The beginnings of a Celtic language
Tracing the beginnings of Celtic languages is difficult. Most agree that they derive from an earlier language known as 'proto-Indo-European'. This probably reached western Europe through the movement of peoples, possibly from Central Asia between 6000 and 2000BC. Unfortunately, there is little agreement over precisely when this occurred and when and how Celtic languages subsequently developed.
On current understanding, Celtic languages have their origins at some time between 6000 and 600BC, with the earliest known inscriptions in a Celtic language being found in Northern Italy and dating to the 6th century BC.
Art and archaeology
[image: Detail of triskele]
Detail of triskele, about 11cm (4.3 inches) across, on a plaque from Llyn Cerrig Bach (Anglesey). This notable example of La Tène art is typically interpreted as evidence for a Celtic artistic tradition.
The appearance of a new style of art during the 5th century BC and its later spread across much of Europe has frequently been interpreted by archaeologists as evidence for a common Celtic culture or identity.
Celtic art was recognised and named by British scholars during the mid 19th century. However, it was not until 1910-14 that the earliest objects decorated in this style were traced to a common cultural area of north-east France, southern Germany and the Czech Republic.
It was named the La Tène culture, after an important collection of decorated metalwork discovered at a site on the edge of Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland. The spread of La Tène or Celtic art across Europe, including Britain and Ireland, was for a long time interpreted as invasions by Celtic people.
More recently, British archaeologists have become increasingly dissatisfied with the idea of Celts invading Britain and of a 'Celtic' society sharing language, art, religious belief and identity. There is little conclusive evidence amongst the archaeological remains for large-scale arrivals of a new people from the Continent.
The archaeology of the Iron Age in Britain is suggesting a mosaic of regional societies, each with their own distinctive identity. This is at considerable odds with a uniform Celtic culture.
Archaeologists have also become more critical of their own assumptions when interpreting Iron Age sites. The presence of La Tène art in Wales need not indicate invading Celts, it could equally show the spread of a fashion across many societies or suggest long-distance exchange contacts. At the same time, we now know that much of the later La Tène art is distinctively British in style and largely absent in Continental Europe.
Debate has surrounded the notion of the Celts since scholars first began to examine it, and this discussion is set to continue.
It is possible that future genetic studies of ancient and modern human DNA may help to inform our understanding of the subject. However, early studies have, so far, tended to produce implausible conclusions from very small numbers of people and using outdated assumptions about linguistics and archaeology.

Hi there Jo,
We have an Illustrator who works with the Archaeology and Numismatics department, who has worked on many of our publications, illustrating and enlivening many of the objects in our collections. He was responsible for the image above and is called Tony Daly.
Jo Matias on 17 February 2014, 15:14
Was the image of the fighting warriors commissioned by the National Museum, and has the museum commissioned other artistic reconstructions? Who was the illustrator?

Dear Pat Routledge,
Thank you for your comment, I have looked up the translation for 'roundhouse' that the Museum uses and found it to be:
gytiau crynion [literally translated as hut circle]
I hope that this helps,
Graham Davies, Online Curator, Amgueddfa Cymru

I am trying to find out what the welsh or cornish word for roundhouse would be and am not having any luck finding it on any of the on-line translation engines I have checked. Would you be able to tell me, or could you refer me to someone who could?
Thank you so much.

I think the Celtic identity is really interesting and essentially awesome! I am a Portuguese-Canadian, and as I've learned, before the region of Portugal was conquered and colonized by Rome, the area was inhabited by people the Romans called Celts. Hardly anything remains of these ancient people: our ancient national hero, Viriathus, some inscriptions, and the rare bagpipe. Celtic culture was totally absorbed by Roman culture. There may be parts of modern Portuguese culture that are descended from our Celtic ancestors, but all noticeable traces (language, self-identity) have been long gone. The same thing happened to areas well known to be inhabited by Celts, like France, Switzerland, Northern Italy and England. Portuguese see themselves as a Latin-European people, but I see this only because of assimilation, not physically. The Celtic nations of Europe's Atlantic coast, like Cymru, are the only survivors. I embrace them though, as representatives of a once wide-spread people. Even learning a few Welsh phrases (or Gaelic) gives me pride, like I'm saying to my long gone Celtic ancestors, I haven't forgotten you!
High Five distant Celtic relatives! :D

Thank you for your feedback. This is an area of rapidly changing research and hypothesis.
You may be interested to know that the Museum is currently involved as a partner in a research project 'Atlantic Europe in the Age of Metals: the question of shared language'. This is being led by Professor John Koch of the Department for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies at the University of Wales. This is bringing together archaeologists, linguists and geneticists to look at the cultural contacts and development of Celtic languages across Atlantic Europe during the Bronze and Iron Ages. This is generating a theory that Celtic languages may have developed in Iberia during the Bronze Age, which challenges existing models based upon a Central European/Hallstatt origin.
We hope to present some of the new thinking emerging within our St Fagans: National History Museum a major redevelopment project, which aims to bring together our archaeological and social and cultural history collections.

Actually, this is getting outdated, and new Genetics and Evidence is showing that the Celts of the Isles are the true Celts...culture of Hallstatt. The Genetics are mostly Continental Celts with minor Ancient input.

Nits is a popular name for eggs of head lice and Public Lice. When infected these nits are attached to the hair shaft near the head skin and are very difficult to remove. Nits thrive in the warmth and humidity of the human skin. They need this environment to develop. If they are removed from this warmth and humidity they will quickly die. That is why treatment of nits is most effective when treated on the affected area rather than treating the bed, pillows and furniture to get rid of nits. Nits can be crushed or physically removed. There are many nits loosening creams available that can help easy removal of head lice nits with special lice combs. The public area lice are usually termed as crabs because they look like tiny crabs. These nits also can be removed the same way as head lice nits.
These nits can be crushed one by one but it is cumbersome process and you need someone else to help you do that.
How to Find Nits on the Head?
All nits are found close to the skin. Anything attached to the hair shaft more than ¼" is not nits but a dead head lice shell. Once the lice hatch it leaves the dead shell attached to the hair shaft. As the hair grow this shell keeps moving away from the skin. The dead shells of the head lice can remain on hair for weeks or even months.
Even the nits which are stuck to the hair shaft but have moved away from the scalp due to hair growth will be dead. The dead shell or nits are usually white in color as compared to the live nits which are darker in color. Getting rid of the shell or the dead nits is much easier than the live nits which are more firmly glued to the hair shaft.
Dandruff can be misunderstood as dead lice. Therefore it is important to see more closely before deciding whether the person has lice or not.
How to Get Rid Of Nits?
It is easy to remove adult head lice with various head lice shampoos and head lice combs but getting rid of nits is much bigger task as these shampoos are not effective.
The secret success of getting rid of the nits lies in the use of high quality nit comb. Though shampoos may help to some extent to loosen the nits from the hair shaft, it is the quality of comb that will destroy the nits.
You can avoid the shampoo altogether if you understand how to use a nit comb to remove head lice and nits.
Apply hair oil on the scalp so that the lice comb can work better without much friction and breakage of hair. Then divide the hair in segments and use the comb to crush the nits. Some nits will come out with the comb others may need to be crushed.
Once the process is complete sanitize the comb for further use later and shampoo the head properly and use conditioner for better hair care. Repeat the process every couple of days until you get rid of nits completely.

Can you believe you're halfway through baby's first year?! By 6 months, your baby is probably pretty opinionated. She might scream when someone other than you holds her. And you might feel embarrassed, but can you blame her? If a stranger came over to you to hug you, you'd give them a "back off, buddy" reaction, too. Baby is also starting to develop food likes and dislikes, as you introduce new flavors to her. Hint: She takes more bites of the food she likes more. For now though, she's pretty easy to please at mealtime. (Look out for picky eating later!) One thing she really likes is her name. Now, she recognizes it, and shows excitement when you say it.

Hi Christine, It is nice to see a new "face". They are products for water color artists, can't give you a brand, but they are called RESIST or something like that. Anyway... place your stencils how you want the wording to be and paint the resist over the whole stencil area. Then you paint the dresser, over the resist and everywhere else you want the paint. When dry the resist will come off when rubbed with your finger, a rag or whatever. I would practice on a piece of wood first, but it should work out just fine. Please, show us your finished dresser. It sounds like it will look lovely. Joan |
Thank you! I knew there had to be a way, since this is not a unique idea!~ |
- Posted by franksmom_2010 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 14:11
If it's not too late, I have another idea. You can buy sheets of adhesive letters at any office supply store or decent craft store. You could stick on your letters, prime and paint, then very carefully score around the edges with an excato knife and peel them off. The resist product sounds easier, but I wonder how it would work with that type of paint? |

Every game down this final stretch is going to be pivotal for the New York Knicks as they try to make a major last minute push toward playoff contention. Tonight's contest against the playoff bound Washington Wizards will be no different.
Just a few weeks ago, the experts said the Knicks had as little as a 7% chance of making the playoffs, but a little help from the struggling Atlanta Hawks and winning 12 of the last 15 games has brought the Knicks back into the postseason picture. Let's be serious – would you rather see a series with the Hawks vs. the Pacers/Heat or the Knicks vs. the Pacers/Heat? I'm not saying the Knicks would have a chance to win a series against either team, but both have struggled down the stretch of the season and the Knicks have been playing very well, so if they sneak in you never know.
Back to the matter at hand, as the Knicks look to take down a sixth-seeded Washinton team who at times have looked very dangerous with their dynamic backcourt. John Wall is looking to lead the Wizards to their first season sweep of the New York Knicks in nearly 30 years. The duo of Bradley Beal and the aforementioned Wall have given the Knicks fits this season because the Knicks struggle against quick guards that can shoot well on the perimeter.
Last time these two teams met, Wall finished with 31 points and seven assists in a 98-89 home victory on November 23rd, a game in which Anthony had 23 points and 12 boards.
Wall leads the Wizards with 19.8 points per game, but he is also having his best statistical season in his young career. He also averages 8.7 assists, which is top-five in the NBA this season, and 4.1 rebounds per game as a point guard. Wall is certainly coming into his own as a player, but outside the numbers he has improved his perimeter game and can now knock down the open three consistently.
Carmelo Anthony has reached the postseason in every one of his first 10 season, but this one has been the biggest struggle in his career. Of course that's not from a numbers standpoint because Anthony is averaging 28.0 points per game along with a career high 8.2 rebounds per game. Ultimately this disappointing season will be attributed to the pieces around Anthony not being at the top of their games at the start of the season, coupled with injuries and inconsistency. Certainly, some of the struggles would be forgotten if the Knicks were to make some noise in the playoffs.
Keep an eye on Knicks starting point guard Raymond Felton, who was injured after a scary fall in the third quarter of Tuesday's win against the Nets. He came back into the game in the fourth quarter after being diagnosed with bruised ribs. Felton has said he would play Friday, but the Knicks haven't had him available for either meeting against the Wizards this year. Notably, Felton does struggle against quick opposing guards and John Wall might be the fastest in the entire league.
This game is the second of a seven-game stretch to close out the season, in which the Knicks will take on all Eastern Conference playoff teams. These last remaining games will show us just how ready the Knicks are for the playoffs if they make it at all.

Development of sea cucumber production in the Asia-Pacific Region
KEY FACTS | Project
ES1019ACI - Sea Ranching and Restocking Sandfish in Asia Pacific
NR1511ACI - Culture of Sandfish in Asia-Pacific
Project leader
David Mills
1 Jun 2007

Sea cucumber, Vietnam |
Sea cucumbers like the sandfish species (Holothuria scabra) are a traditional commodity used for dietary and medicinal purposes in China and elsewhere in Asia. For many years, their harvest has supported livelihoods in coastal communities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Yet their ease of capture, biological vulnerability, and expanding consumer base in middle-income China has led to precipitous declines in wild stocks. For example, in the Philippines, annual catches are now less than 30% of those enjoyed 25 years ago.
Unfortunately, restoration of sandfish fisheries is seldom achieved by simply imposing strict fishery management regimes, or even closures. When sedentary invertebrate populations are depleted, mates are too sparse for effective spawning, often leading to local extinction. This has widespread implications for coastal livelihoods in villages that have relied on this commodity, and where few alternative sources of cash income are available.
Programs are now underway in Madagascar, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Australia, Indonesia, Fiji, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines to commercially produce sandfish. Research to date has shown that the production of sandfish in a variety of ways (such as ranching, restocking and culturing) represents a viable and environmentally positive livelihood for coastal communities in the Asia-Pacific region. However, there are still a number of significant issues to be addressed before this can become a reality.
Sea ranching, culturing and restocking
Two WorldFish projects ('Sea Ranching and Restocking Sandfish in Asia Pacific', and 'Culture of Sandfish in Asia-Pacific') funded by the Australian Center for International Agricultural Research Center (ACIAR) are addressing the issue of sandfish depletion by:
- Sea ranching: Testing a new livelihood option in the Philippines, Vietnam and Australia through the release of cultured sandfish in managed inshore habitats and allowing communities to harvest them at market size after three years.
- Culturing: Further investigating and developing options for the pond-based mono- and co-culture (with shrimp and finfish) of sandfish in Vietnam and the Philippines.
- Restocking: Replenishing selected sandfish populations through the restocking of marine reserves, designed to rebuild a critical mass of spawning adults.
Another key element of the projects looks at guiding local communities, municipal governments and national scientific agencies in the appropriate management and governance of sea cucumber fisheries in each region.
While the focus of these projects is sandfish production for the benefit of coastal communities, it is hoped that WorldFish work will also motivate communities to conserve wild breeding stocks while still generating income and increasing stock recovery.
Tailored production technologies
These projects will ensure that all stakeholders have a better understanding of the conditions necessary for the successful ranching, restocking and culturing of sandfish. Scientists will provide a 'toolbox' of production technologies and methods within the range of available capabilities and infrastructure in selected areas in the Philippines, Vietnam and Australia. For example, a bio-economic model will be developed that will, in due course, reveal the feasibility of sea ranching and culturing, as well as the optimum schedule for harvesting. Simplification of both hatchery and nursery systems will also ensure that this technology will be broadly applicable across isolated coastal communities in developing countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

From there, Holmes and Co. walked south on Broadway to Uniqlo, where the actress checked out a quilted jacket. Later, Holmes took several items to the cash wrap with Suri — who was still eating her cookie — in tow and bought "a bunch of cardigans for herself," according to a sales associate.

London, July 30 (ANI): Despite talks of Lewis Hamilton trying to patch up with ex-girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger, the Mercedes driver has said that he is actually in love with his car and believes he can win all nine remaining races.
According to the Mirror, after roaring to victory in Hungary for the first time since switching from McLaren, the 28-year-old admitted he is besotted with his race machine.
Hamilton said the car is so good it ranked alongside the one he won the world title with in 2008 and the only problem was with the tyres, adding that last year he did not feel like he had the car to win ten races but his year he did.
The driver said that it did not feel like a relief when he came across the line but just felt good to know that he could still do it, and if the team continued with that qualifying pace, it could get up front.
The result means game on for the championship with Hamilton now fourth, 48 points behind leader Vettel, the report said.
However, the German has four wins to his one in the first 10 races so he faces a stiff uphill struggle in the remaining nine when F1 returns from the summer break, the report added. (ANI)

VIENNA, Va., March, 27, 2012—There's something decidedly off and irreverent about Beast Make Bomb. It could be the odd of use grammar in their or that their mix of female and male members happen to askew the normally assigned roles in a band. The band just happens to strike a different chord purely by being something of an uncomplicated unit.
In fact there are several slightly off kilter bits that makes Beast Make Bomb an engaging and unique band. None of these things seem like they should be a big deal but in the larger context of the underground rock circuit, they're things that make anyone paying attention take notice and possibly exclaim "oh cool!" at the thought of the band.
Funnily Beast Make Bomb isn't necessarily a unique band at any given point. They take several like minded influences like '80s post-punk and jangle-pop, and meld into an endearing indie pop/rock package. It seems simple enough for a band to put together the kind of tunes Beast Make Bomb, and on the surface there's nothing about them that immediately sticks out.
What does make an impression though is how tightly held together their songs are. Each of their songs is a burst of concisely orchestrated pop. None of the songs overstay their welcome and the ideas rarely underdeveloped. They never attempt to overstep their reach, instead relying simple yet catchy melodies, which seem to be inherent within the band.
In fact there are a lot of things that are just catchy about them. Whether it's their basic make-up of two guys and two girls, with the girls taking over the roles usually associated with being male dominated. Glenn Van Dyke's guitar work fluctuates between post-punk distorted brashness and twee-pop airiness always keeping it in line with the song. Ceci Gomez's vocals are strong and hit the envious musty tone of girl-with-cold that goes along perfectly with her easy going and subdued lyrical content.
It would be easy to lump them in with a number of indie/garage rock bands but it would be doing them a bit of a disservice. There's too much craft applied to their songs give them the proper chaotic feel. That's not to say they play up tight, but they fine tuned their songs to great extent. Beast Make Bomb has a certain kind of loose and playful energy about their set, but a lot of that extends from elsewhere.
When it comes down to it, Beast Make Bomb is just a fun band. It's hard to imagine any band up on stage that look to be enjoying themselves as much as this band does. This extends to play their songs with bouncing energy and results in them covering a fun, upbeat song like Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sita." That energy just becomes more infectious as they play and gives each of their songs more punch as their set progresses.
The most impressive about Beast Make Bomb's set and their general outlook as a band is their relative youth. Midway through their set Gomez related a story about the last time they played in DC and almost getting kicked out of their gig because bass player Sam Goldfine at the time being under 21 and trying to use a fake ID. So, it's no surprise they play with energy, but the precision they couple with that energy.
Right now, places like DC9 are perfect places for them to headline but it's likely to assume they'll be playing bigger venues before too long. Beast Make Bombs is the kind of pop/rock band everyone should be keeping their eye in the future.

Christine O'Donnell walks off Piers Morgan for being 'rude' [VIDEO]
(Read article summary)Christine O'Donnell walked off the Piers Morgan Tonight show during an interview about her book after Morgan asked about gay marriage.
Video screen grab/CNN
Self-described trouble maker Christine O'Donnell appeared on the Piers Morgan Tonight show on Wednesday, trying to talk about her book, "Trouble Maker: Let's Do What It Takes to Make America Great Again."
O'Donnell, a tea party favorite, is best known in Delaware for defeating the heavily favored nine-term Congressman and former governor Michael Castle in the state's September 2010 Republican Senate primary. She lost in the general election to Democrat Chris Coons.
Outside of Delaware, she is perhaps most famous for her claim to have once "dabbled into witchcraft," and her subsequent ad in which she disclaimed possessing supernatural abilities.
Before coming on Morgan's show, she had already told Good Morning America that she regretted the "I'm not a witch" campaign ad. She said experts told her to do the ad, but that she has since learned to "trust your gut."

The vehicle title loan case for LoanMax will continue on October 23 at the Board of Supervisors meeting. Last month on a motion by Bermuda District Supervisor and Board Chairman Dorothy Jaeckle was deferred or continued until this month.
The Planning Commission approved the Alternative Financial Institutes (AFI) before some residents realized what, they said, are the ramifications of such a business at a busy intersection in Chester.
LoanMax could be located at the corner of Jefferson Davis Highway and Osborne Road if the zoning change and condition use application is approved.
Bermuda District Planning Commissioner, Dale Patton, called the businesses "garish," but said they have the same right as anyone else to locate where they want as long as they make a zoning application. He also said that while he doesn't like them, the state has thrust the law on Chesterfield and the county could face legal ramifications if the AFI cases are not taken seriously.
This paper knows of two votes in opposition of the case, but is unsure about a third, which is required. A resident in the general area of the proposed vehicle title lender has been spreading the news door to door and has convinced a number of people to attend the meeting on October 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the public meeting room on the county complex to voice their opinion or just to show support for those who do speak to the Board.

I really love playing Cosmic Encounter. This game, by some status of people, would call this legendary. Fantasy Flight made a really good choice to get the game and to reissue it again. With new players being exposed to it, like me, experience a whole new game than a classic one. Cosmic Encounter and it's current expansion by FF expand the game to it's fullest potential. So much can be played with it, but so much more can be added! Do you think FF still has a agreement with Future Pastimes to extend the game even more with a second expansion? I see alot of die-hard people love Cosmic, and do alot with the game itself, such as self-made variants, aleins, mods, and now some of the tech and reward cards. For a big game like this should not be avoided! I would beleive if there was a new expansion, possibly there would be just tons of aleins, so both the core game and incursion would add up to more than 100 aliens! I don't know if FF still thinks about Cosmic now, with incursion that came out this year is pretty recent, the idea of a second is possible.
A Possible Second Expansion?

I've heard the same, and I can't wait. Been checking FFG everyday now for news.

Best news I've heard in a long time!
I live in constant fear that FFG will abandon this game. Of course even if they do we still have a fantastic product. But a couple more expansions would make FFG's indisputably the best version of Cosmic ever! Comparisons aside, more expansions are just plain better - especially with the design quality we've come to expect from Fantasy Flight.
My thanks to the team!

How do you guys think they could make this game any better without breaking it? Obviouisly more Aliens, but what else?
Posted 14 November 2010 - 03:45 AM
Cosmic is difficult to "break." It's a very versatile system. Just see redamedia.com/warp for more information.
But even beyond all the crazy stuff fans have dreamed up, we know hazards are coming someday; moons and lucre can be added from the old games, too; and who knows what else FFG may have developed.
I'd personally prefer they focus on more and more aliens, as I very much enjoy the complexity level the game is at right now with tech and rewards. Hazards would be a nice touch, but I can't think of anything more that wouldn't just require too much extra to teach new players and potentially overwhelm them. The aliens are what make the game.
Official multi-alien rules would be nice though.

Some people love lucre not so much for itself, but for the new lucre related alien powers it enables. If you mostly wnat new aliens, lucre would be a good mechanic to add. Me I'm keen for moons and lucre both - along with related alien powers and special destiny cards.
As far as new players go, I don't use tech or reward cards when for introductory games. Actually sometimes I have 'cause I couldn't resist, but it's easy enough forgoing optional rules to better facilitate learning.
Posted 14 November 2010 - 04:34 PM
There's still so much missing from earlier editions of the game.
I'll assume for the moment that future expansions continue to be the same size as Incursion. (I wonder about that a "big box" expansion is certainly possible, though I have no inside information). You'd need one expansion for Lucre + 20 Aliens + 7th player. Another for Moons + 20 Aliens + 8th player. That would probably take care of the remaining Eon/Mayfair aliens that we haven't seen yet, minus the ones that are just unredeemable or whatever. However, there's still the promised "Hazards" deck, as well as such previously published oddities as the Praw, variant planetary systems, several interesting Artifacts, 2-player rules, 7+ player rules...
And that's leaving little or no room for FFG to add *new* things.
So there's plenty of room for expansion. The question is whether or not they'll sell enough for FFG to publish them.

Looks like the wait for news on the 2nd expansion is over...

Yes! Yes! YES!!!! I been jumping all with hype when I first saw this on the front page! I must be dreaming!!
20 Aliens! An Extra 7th Player! The New Hazard Deck! So much to be offered!! I didn't think this was possible until now i see it with my own eyes! The future of the cosmos is growing!
Posted 16 November 2010 - 01:56 AM
Those black ships and planets sure look swanky.
Anyone know what the third alien shown is? The one behind Empath I'd guess is Filth. I saw someone mention Lunatic in the comments, but I don't know why. The only alien named Lunatic I've heard of doesn't match that partial text, though The Warp seems to be down so I can't check on it to be sure.

You might want to read the text instead of staring at the pretty pictures then.

About that...
Err, nevermind.
Anyway, the question still remains, anyone got an ID on that third alien in the picture?
Also, the Claw sounds pretty awesome.
Posted 16 November 2010 - 05:09 AM
Thank god this is coming out. NOW we can finally start talking about what should be in Expansion 3.
Posted 16 November 2010 - 05:20 AM
How about alternate destiny cards with hazard icons visible to the naked eye?

This could be important. I have never noticed the Hazard icon when playing CE. I have to look for it specifically to notice it...

such excitement has been aroused, I dunno now if FF will think about the 3rd for some time (i'm scared, this expansion might be it!). but with the limit of 90 aliens, kinda makes you think why there isn't about 100. also, what about such past cosmic aliens and variants? I believe FF talked about a 2 player variant some time ago in the FAQ or the manual, they might have an ideal on that.
Posted 16 November 2010 - 10:12 AM
I'd be shocked if Expansion #3 wasn't all about Lucre and Team Cosmic, with components for an 8th player.
Posted 16 November 2010 - 10:48 AM
I am going to LOVE having 90 aliens in my FFG set, but I will also be quite ready to have 110.
I think the 8th player color (oh how I'd love a metallic color like silver, or some kind of crazy marble color)and 20 aliens (mostly new!) will be a great way to start, but as for cards... I'm thinking it will be time to minimize the Cosmic Quake by growing the encounter deck by about 12 or so more cards.
I'd also love a few new Techs and Rewards. I can appreciate the model of making the expansions stand alone, but at the same time I'd like to think Big Picture and have the expansions complementing each other.
Posted 16 November 2010 - 12:18 PM
Color #8 is probably going to be white, wouldn't you say?
Assuming for a minute that a 55-card printing sheet is standard for such things, how about this for Expansion #3 (Cosmic Avarice, for Lucre):
20 Flares
12 Cosmic cards
15 Tech cards
8 Rewards cards
Lucre doesn't require any cards, just a bunch of tokens...
Are we having too much fun getting ahead of ourselves? Nah.

A study that at San Diego's University revealed that people who drink coffee have a lower risk of getting ill from type 2 diabetes. Also small risk of getting ill from diabetes for people who stopped drinking coffee.
They don't know the reason form that as they called it surprising defensive effect, but it is for sure that it's not caffeine because in the research decaffeinate coffee was also tested.
The study was performed on 910 men and women who were 50 years or older and healthy. Eight years later the people that stopped drinking coffee and those who were drinking coffee were less likely to show any symptoms. The scientists don't yet know how much coffee you need to drink so you can have defense from diabetes but this is cool news for coffee drinkers everywhere.

GLOCESTER — "That's Emma. She's amazing," said Barrington girls cross country coach Annmarie Marino after Barrington sophomore Emma McMillan successfully defended her individual state title despite being the underdog in Sunday's Interscholastic League's girls state meet at Ponaganset High School.
Finding herself in the unique position of being both the defending champion and an underdog after finishing second to a course-record performance by La Salle sophomore Eliza Rego in last week's Class A championships, McMillan battled Rego from the opening gun at a blistering pace for the first 4,000 meters of the 5K contest before Rego collapsed from the torrid pace, opening the way for McMillan to capture her second title in a course record-setting time.
But despite Rego's not being able to finish the race, La Salle still put five of its other six runners in the top 12 places as the Rams captured the team title with a three-point margin of victory, 36-39, over two-time defending state champion Barrington.
"To lose our No. 1 and still come out on top is a testament to how tough this team is," said La Salle coach Kelly Martin. "They didn't let obstacles get in their way.
"It was a team coming together. They saw Eliza go down and they fought to the end for her."
Sophomore Karina Tavares, who earned first-team All-State honors last year while running for Mt. Hope, was the first La Salle runner across the finish line, taking second place, 18-plus seconds behind McMillan.
Classical's Maddy Berkson, the nationally ranked indoor and outdoor distance state champion who was competing in her first year of cross country, was third, and Barrington's Abigail Livingston was fourth, followed by La Salle's Sheridan Wilbur in fifth.
Barrington actually had four runners finish before La Salle's third runner crossed the line as the Eagles' Mary Kate Coogan took seventh and Megan Verner-Crist was ninth.
But the La Salle trio of Rachel Renzi, Audrey O'Neil and Elise Papazian quickly followed with a 10-11-12 combination, giving the Rams the close decision.
"It was a team coming together," said Martin. "They saw Eliza go down and they fought to the end for her."
A week ago, Rego had set a course record with 17:47.08 effort in the Class A meet. The performance put her 17 seconds in front of McMillan, who finished second.
"Last week, she took off on me at the mile-mark. I was just trying to see if I could hang on a little longer this week," said McMillan. "I got out to good start. Eliza was running well. I was just hoping she would get tired"
McMillan and Rego hooked up in a shoulder-to-shoulder battle at the front of the pack about 100 yards from the starting line, and they stayed that way as the duo entered a wooded area about a half mile from the start.
According to McMillan, they stayed within a few feet of each other for about 11/2 miles through the wooded path, with Rego holding a slim lead most of the way.
But at just about the two-mile mark, Rego couldn't keep up the pace and collapsed. She regained her footing, jogged a few more yards, but went down again, at which time Martin went over to assist her out of the woods.
"I would assume because the first mile was at a blazing fast pace," Martin said about Rego collapse. "This is her first year of cross country. She wanted to win it and she was going to do whatever it took. She used everything that was in her body, but her body just couldn't hang on."
McMillan definitely was not thinking about a course-record when she took the starting line.
"I just wanted to break 18-minutes," said McMillan, who posted an 18:04.84 performance in last week's Class A meet at Ponaganset.
"I hate to say anything against my own kids, but if you were to have had asked me I would have said it's going to be tough," Marino said about McMillan pre-race chances. "But when I saw her look after the first mile, I said 'She's got this.' She's a great kid in so many ways and she doesn't like to lose."

Pe'ahi & Recreating The Raveonettes' Wardrobe
The Raveonettes just came out with their latest album, Pe'ahi. I thought it'd be best to feature them in a fashion post! Here is to recreating Sue Rose Wagner's and Sharin Foo's wardrobe!
Often times, you'll see the dynamic duo wearing monochrome, structured outfits like some in the photos above. However, I've seen Sharin often wear brightly colored hues with dainty dresses and cowboy boots and Sue wearing bold slouchy sweaters. It might be confusing if you don't know them, but Sharin is the woman :) Definitely, the iconic look for the The Raveonettes is black and white, much like The Beatles or The Hives. Thankfully, they are human and can make different choices at any given day, so they are not opposed to color!
I've been really attracted to black and white and bold primary colors like kelly green and royal blue instead of mint and tangerine lately. Personally, it makes me feel stronger, braver, and ready to take on the world. Of course, that's just my current mood and may change. The Raveonettes make black and white look so cool, and their hair tops it all off!
Below you'll find some pieces that I feel may be a good fit for Sharin. Let's not forget the leather jacket and black tights in the cold with these! As for Sune, there are loads of cool mens' clothes I was eyeing up for him as well.
Sarah Button Through Maxi Dress – Hollie Stripe 2 in 1 Midi Dress – Abby Pleat Zig Zag Shift Dress – Jennifer Embroidered Shift Dress – Mia Long Sleeve Midi Dress – Amy Pleat Detail Shift Dress
A few days ago, I read an engaging interview on the Raveonettes recent style collaboration with Selected. However checking back again today, that same article is now gone. I did pick up that Sharin isn't really interested in fashion, per se. She is interested however in self expression, how your clothes and music can show that expression and creativity through artful choices. Of course, that's how I remembered her response in my own words, of course. No matter how elitist that may sound, I believe that it's good to look at things that way instead of just conforming. If you like something that's in though, don't be an elitist just to be one. I have trouble with that sometimes with music and movies, but you know what… I'm trying to grow up :)
Surprisingly, they have uploaded the full album on Youtube. However, I recommend buying the Pe'ahi album for obvious reasons. When you listen to the Raveonettes, it is quite a magical experience. You really don't want to be confined to streamed audio. It makes a huge difference. HUGE. Crank it up in your car with the windows rolled up while driving at night. You can dance. You can cry. You can celebrate. The album is not a let down. Hands down one of my favorite modern bands.
If you really want to have a listen right now, below is the streaming playlist of Pe'ahi:
