![]() The English term tabby originally referred to "striped silk taffeta", from the French word tabis, meaning "a rich watered silk". Etymology A 19th-century drawing of a tabby cat One genetic study of domestic cats found at least five founders. The tabby pattern occurs naturally and is connected both to the coat of the domestic cat's direct ancestor and to those of their close relatives: the African wildcat ( Felis lybica lybica), the European wildcat ( Felis silvestris) and the Asiatic wildcat ( Felis lybica ornata), all of which have similar coats, both by pattern and coloration. The tabby pattern is found in many official cat breeds and is extremely common among the general population of mixed-breed cats around the world. "Tabby" is not a breed of cat, but a coat type seen in almost all genetic lines of domestic cats, regardless of breed. ![]() It is thought that the tabby pattern originates from the numerous related species of wildcat.Ī tabby cat, or simply tabby, is any domestic cat ( Felis catus) with a distinctive 'M'-shaped marking on its forehead stripes by its eyes and across its cheeks, along its back, and around its legs and tail and (differing by tabby type), characteristic striped, dotted, lined, flecked, banded, or swirled patterns on the body-neck, shoulders, sides, flanks, chest, and abdomen. Mackerel tabby, with the distinctive striped pattern and forehead 'M' A European wildcat ( Felis silvestris) bearing a similar coat pattern to that of a tabby cat. ![]() For other uses, see Tabby (disambiguation).

Repetition really. There are some story elements pushed into the game via a series of podcasts that play as your in the menu's - they seemed to highlight rival racers that I was apparently in a feud with, but if I'm honest none of that registered with me. I got used to the drift mechanic and was winning racers and progressing nicely. It was a fun racer, that allowed progression via standard play, but also lets you purchase cars early to increase your likelihood of winning the earlier races. I have to say, I genuinely enjoyed playing the game. As well as trying to win the race your sponsor will provide mini challenges to be undertaken within it, which can help increase your reputation. The game places a particular emphasis on realistic alterations across a race time, with weather changes, or a day night cycle affecting the laps. The latest game in the long running Colin McRae Rally series "Dirt 5" sees you able to race a wide variety of cars, across a number of different disciplines in various real (and quasi real) locations around the world. ![]() What I found was a game that better balanced the arcadyness and simulation than I anticipated and, until the repetition eventually wore me down, was an excellent time. Serious racing games are a genre that I usually don't enjoy but as this was a free PS Plus game (and one of the few genuine full release games on the service so far) I figured I give it a try. It's cool.I really didn't think that I'd give "DIRT 5" as much of my time as I did. Troy and Nolan were very happy to do that. "We needed two people who could beef with each other. And they just answered the questions as if they were AJ and Bruno." And they threw some real curveballs at them. ![]() ![]() And to adlib, they needed to be able to answer any question that Nolan Sykes and James Pumphrey from Donut Media would throw at them. "It's an insane amount of information, but we needed to give it to them, because they needed to go into the studio and have real conversations. We created Wikipedia pages with their whole life story from the age of five to way after the game is even finished," explains Johnson of the recording process. Codemasters wants you to get a real sense of that chemistry in the Dirt 5 campaign. North and Baker are known for their real-life banter, appearing in The Last of Us and Uncharted together, appearing together on North's Retro Replay channel, and basically bringing mischievous joy to any panel they appear on together. Because the moment this podcast sounds fake is the moment that it completely fails." "We needed two people that were going to be able to get face to face in a booth, and be able to talk to each other, and have a realistic conversation. "With the podcast dynamic, we needed two people that were going to gel, and we needed it to sound realistic," says Johnson. North, meanwhile, is more of a trash-talking, sports personality type, an antagonist that you still can't help but like. Baker plays AJ, someone Johnson describes as a caring, Tony Hawk type mentor character for the player. Once they had the idea, the challenge was finding podcast presenters that people would want to listen to for an entire game. "It made us excited with the possibility of kind of having our cake and eating it, with allowing us to have a really cool narrative and characters that we all put a lot of time and effort into – and allowing people to sort of get on, and play a fast-paced game as well, with these little bits of downtime in between." Star power So all of a sudden, it was like… you know, we wanted Jamie Chadwick. Everybody could just sort of see the potential. And literally, as soon as we kind of uttered the word "podcast" in the meeting, it just clicked with everybody. So the podcast was this sort of perfect delivery method for us. "We wanted this to be a bit more substantial and to actually mean a little bit more. This time around they looked back at the heritage of Dirt 2 and Dirt 3, and wanted to be more than just voiceover at the right moments. There's a definite good person and a bad person. "You could say, you know, it's an overblown version of reality. We feel like we sort of put a lot of effort into having characters," he says. "We've just come off the back of Formula One 2019, which got a lot of positive praise for the use of cut scenes. Of course, the Dirt 5 development team has kept a close eye on its competitors when it comes to telling a story in racing games, and learning from its own history with the genre. Rules for double deck pinochle10/30/2023 ![]() One card must be used from the hand and placed on the table for every meld.A player can make only one meld in one turn.The players make melds by placing the cards face-up on the table, and the cards remain there until the player wishes to play or till the stock is exhausted. Pinochle has three classes of melds, and a card can be a part of more than one meld of different classes but only a single meld of a given class.įor instance, a Q♥ can be a card in a class 1 meld of ‘Hearts Marriage’ and a card in a class 3 meld of ‘Queens Around’ but can’t be a card in a class 1 meld of ‘Run’. MeldingĮach player melds the cards in hand for points. Note: Following suit is not necessary within the game therefore, the leader has the option to lead with any card, and the opponent can play any card.Īfter the trick ends, each player (starting with the winner) must draw a card from the top of the pile and to have 12 cards in hand. If the player leads with a card of another suit, they win the trick if no other player plays a higher card of the same suit or a card from the trunk suit. If a player leads with a trump, the player wins the trick unless another player plays a higher-value trump card. The PlayĪ non-dealer leads every trick, and the winner of that trick leads the next trick. The team that made the contract also trades three cards between each other before the game begins. The bid that is passed by every player becomes the contract for the game, and the player who made that bid decides the trump suit. Every player must bid higher than the previous bid or pass (10 or 20 points higher). The players bid the number of points their team can make in that round, with the minimum bid being 20. When every player has 12 cards in hand, the bidding round starts from the player at the dealer’s left, followed by other players in a clockwise direction. The dealer shuffles the cards and deals 12 cards in sets of 3 to each player (4 players) in a clockwise direction. Each player receives a card from a shuffled deck, and the player with the highest-value card becomes the dealer. Nines (and 8s and 7s in a 64-card pack) have no point value.Īlso Read: A Quick Guide to the Spades Card Game Dealingīefore the game begins, a dealer is selected based on the highest-value card. ![]() The value of cards melded during tricks are as follows: Sometimes, the game also uses two pinochle decks of 64-cards that include 8s and 7s too. Card Ranking & ValuesĪ 48-card pinochle deck includes cards from Ace (high), 10, K, Q, J, and 9 (low) of each suit with two of each card. The game’s object is to win tricks by melding cards into combinations of high scoring points to score the value of cards taken in on tricks. The players score points in two phases of the game – the melding phase and trick-taking phase. A round includes six phases – dealing, bidding, exchanging, melding, trick-taking, and scoring. It is played with a 48-card pack, with two sets of 9s through Aces. The game is usually played between four players in two partnerships (partnership pinochle) or between three players playing individually (cutthroat pinochle). Pinochle is a trick-taking card game that involves the melding of cards. The name means eyeglasses or two eyes and refers to a myth that the game was developed from a deck of cards in which the Jack of Diamonds and the Queen of Spades were portraited, revealing only one eye each. The game was brought from Europe to the US in the 19th century. It either evolved from Bezique or may have originated in the Swiss and later became Binokel, a South German game descended from Bezique. The fun pinochle game originated about 150 years ago and is believed to have two origins. The next game night you have with friends or family, you will be able to boast your skills in the game of pinochle. If this game piques your interest, read on to know a little history about the game, then go on to learn the rules and gameplay. The standard variation played today is the partnership auction pinochle. This card game comes into the trick-and-meld category of card games that unfolds in three stages of bidding, melding, and tricks. The game was derived from another card game called Bezique, where players won tricks by melding cards and scoring points. Pinochle, also known as pinocle or penuchle, is one of the most popular trick-taking card games developed and played in the United States.

King helios beyblade qr code10/30/2023 ![]() The "super" portion also ties to the fifth anime series' title "Superking". ![]() ![]() Super Hyperion's name is a combination of the word "super" and "Hyperion", the Greek titan of heavenly light, one of the twelve titans spawned by Gaia and Ouranos, and the father of the sun god Helios.However, the 2A Chassis allows it to deliver stronger attacks due to the large rubber blades sticking out and increases the combination's overall LAD by a lot. Super is designed to line up well with the 1A Chassis, which further increases its Attack Potential and Burst Resistance. If one is fearful of possible performance changes or simply dislikes the damaged appearance, they may want to own multiple copies of this Ring. The contact points on the Super Ring are aggressive, so it may be liable to chipping and denting. Due to the good shape and high Burst Resistance, Super performs well in Attack Combinations. To withstand the force of its own attacks, the Super Ring has a thick underside that holds itself and the Superking Chip that's attached a bit higher than the Chassis, which exposes the teeth on the Chassis appropriately, granting great Burst Resistance. The angled contact points improve its Upper Attack Potential by allowing it to knock the opponent's Layer upwards when colliding, which increases the chances of it knocking out the opponent. As part of the Superking Layer System, Super is compatible with any right-spin or dual-spin Superking Chip and Chassis. Takara Tomy's Super is a right-spin Attack Type Ring that features six blades (a big blade and a medium blade molded together on each side followed by a small blade) that are angled downwards, creating a high recoil shape.

Happy endings margaret atwood structure10/30/2023 And here is where Atwood gives us an aside, saying, “this is the thin part of the plot, but it can be dealt with later.” Eventually we find out that John buys a handgun. Section C adds more complications, and two more people-Madge and Fred. And then section C, where John is an older man falling for Mary, who is only twenty-two. John doesn’t fall in love with Mary and Mary ends up doing things no self-respecting woman wants to see herself doing, eventually killing herself. We are told three times in the space of one paragraph that John and Mary’s life is “stimulating and challenging.” Atwood ends section A with, “This is the end of the story.”īut then there is section B, where we move into conflict. The story starts with a sentence that is about as basic as you can get in storytelling: “John and Mary meet.” Then Atwood asks us, “What happens next? If you want a happy ending, try A.” So you go to A and you get a basic happy (and boring) plot line, with many cliches and no conflict: John and Mary fall in love, get married, buy a house, have children, who “turn out well,” and eventually they retire and have rewarding hobbies. A whisper of possibility that I could hear underneath all the different versions of “isn’t that a bit much?” And back then, when I was learning about story analysis, plot structure, and Freytag’s pyramid in my literature classes, it seemed like a gift to me. But what I loved most about it was its strangeness. ![]() And nestled in that thin, 110 page collection of 27 pieces was a tiny story called “ Happy Endings.” My good faith effort turned up Murder in the Dark, Atwood’s 1983 collection of short stories, essays, and prose poems. You just had to make a good faith effort at a library or a book store. These were pre-Google days, when making good on a statement like that didn’t mean you had to sit down in font of your computer for the next 17 hours. You read that poem and you say: “I’m going to read every Margaret Atwood poem I can find.” If I couldn’t write great poetry, I could certainly be good at reading it. I couldn’t imagine anyone ever reading that poem and saying, “ that unnoticed & that necessary? Don’t you think that’s a bit much?” No. They were everything I was trying to write and failing at, but more important, they showed me just how badly I was failing at it. Once I read those lines, I never forgot them. I would like to be that unnoticed/& that necessary.” One of them was Margaret Atwood’s “Variations on the Word Sleep,” which ends with the lines “I would like to be the air/that inhabits you for a moment/only. ![]() I also remember reading poems in this class from a book called 45 Contemporary Poems. I wrote horrible lines in poems with ridiculous titles and I thought I was being mysterious and profound, until my poetry professor finally said, “ coughing up ashes again? I think that’s a bit much.” If you had asked me then, I would have told you I was a poet. When I was in college, I knew I wanted to write, but I thought I was going to be a poet. Submit your own “Flash, Back” or other flash-related essays on our Submittable page! In this edition, Jeanne Jones discusses Margaret Atwood’s “Happy Endings,” and how it gave her permission to break the rules of traditional storytelling.
