"Magic: The Gathering CCG - 10th Ed. Decks on Magic Online: Deck 3 ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 15:13:08

10th Edition Decks on Magic Online. The 10th Edition has given us 5 new 40 separate mono-colour decks that can be played for free on Magic Online. This is a great way to learn the game and can be used as a gateway to registering for an account on MTGO or simply using as is to compete the game without succombing to the expensive collecting aspect. To evaluate the fit and playability of these decks I undergo decided to write a series of session reports – playing 3 games with each be and commenting on its strengths and weaknesses. I hope this ordain give a good introduction to the cards and the game and give some ideas for strategies to use when playing each of the decks. It would be unfeasible to describe every separate in the deck – so some knowledge of the game and the cards of 10th Edition is required to get the most from the reports. You can easily find out what an individual separate does at the gatherer card lookup: This is the Third of 5 session reports and is for Evnicar’s Tyranny (mono-black)Rather than play a single match – I again chose to play a series of 3 single games only continuing those which are a different act upon from the preceding – this way you get a better idea of a wider variety of the decks. The Black deck is a mixed bag. It has some decent creature removal in the form of terror assassinate cruel edict essence drain and consume spirit (which also doubles as a good late game finisher) it has a bit of average discard – 2 Mind Rot and a Thrull surgeon and then it has some not very efficient creatures. There is also a Diabolic Tutor to back up you sight what you need. Interestingly the beat card in the deck seems to be the vampire bats. Played early this can whittle drink quite a few life and at one mana is a faster threat than most of the other decks can bring home the bacon. Ascendent Evincar the decks namesake is a 3/3 flier which grants +1/+1 to all other black creatures and -1/-1 to all non-black creatures. This separate is ok but slightly overcosted for it’s fragile 3 toughness. With only 12 other creatues in the be (one of which is an anti-synergistic bottle gnomes) it is also rare you will undergo more than one or two others beasties out. The other main threat and game finisher is the Mortivore – which is a regenerating Lhurgoyf with power and toughness equal to the total be of creatures in graveyards. The main strategy (if it can be called such) is to hope for an early Bat and a Mind Rot then go it up with some mid-sized threats supported by removing opponents creatures similtaneously fueling a late game Mortivore – hopefully sealing the deal. Key Cards: Vampire Bats. Mind Rot. Consume Spirit. Mortivore. Diabolic instruct. bet 1I get a good go away with a first move vampire bats. He plays a mountain giving away the red deck - ouch – this might not be an easy match-up. I go in with my bats the following move and he shocks it when I pump it. I have to wait until turn three to play my do work skeletons – this does however convey I have the mana to regenerate it. He plays a bogardan firefiend 2/1 (when it goes to graveyard it deals 2 damage to target creature) then a second firefiend the following go. I Terror one in his turn and go in with the skeleton – this turns out to be a identify. He plays a lightning elemental 4/1 haste – attacking to act me down to 9 life. I lay a dross crocodile- 5/1 vanilla and keep my skeletons approve. He gets his legend Kahamal (6/1 haste tap to deal 3 damage to target creature or player) which he immediately uses to take out my croc. In my turn I assasinate kahamal but undergo nothing else but landFollowing turn he incinerates my loan blocker goes in for 6 then incinerates me. Game over.0-1bet 2A flood from him reveals a mirror match up – this should be fun. We both go away slow he gets a severed legion and a bottle gnomes. I get a bats and we knock each other down a few points. He uses a eat spirit on my bats and keeps attacking. I get a mind rot forcing him to discard a flood and a bats of his own – taking him down to 0 cards. In his move he draws and plays Envicar. In exploit. I get a severed legion. He attacks and we trade legions. In my turn I assassinate Envicar and compete a Mortivore. He responds by playing his own. I draw a demonic tutor and go looking for an edict – which I play forcing him to sacrifice his bottle gnomes ( and in doing so not gain 3 lives for it). We are now at deadlock and are reliant on the draw. We both draw and play mind rots and then each get a thrull surgeon which we use – taking out each other’s measure cards – I just lose swamps. We slowly play some more creatures but stay balanced until I get a vampire bats and manage to whittle him down to 9 life until he gets the assassinate he needs to blackball it. I be with my own Evnicar but it gets in one attack before being essence drained. It is just a matter of time... I wait it out until I displace my eat spirit – hit him for 9 and finish the bet in a suitably cheesy fashion.1-1Game 3I win the fling and play first but with a lot of arrive and not a lot else I take a chance and choose not to mulligan. He is playing color so he could be a problem unless I displace the cards needed to take compassionate of his creatures. He gets a good land to creature ratio and plays a coupe of cover spiders then the ramant growth and civic wayfinder to get the land he needs for some potentially very big creatures. Fortunately my gamble pays off and I draw the removal I need. I terror the wayfinder which is now 9/9 pumped with blanchwood armor. I then get a object rot forcing him to discard the scary enormous baloth and a plant. The following turn I play and sac a thrull surgeon- removing a stampeding wildebeasts. (which could be a serious threat with a second wayfinder on the table. Then I play a big mortivore. He chump blocks for a couple of turns fueling my mortivore until he can no longer drop not to block. When he runs out of blockers and with an empty hand he concedes.2-1The black deck actually plays exceed than you would evaluate – it is definitely stronger than its constituent parts. While I lost to Kamahl’s Temper (the red deck). I made a bring together of mistakes that game (in part lack of concentration taking notes for this session report) and in retrospect I could of won that game. Certainly there should be enough removal and some life gain to win in the mid game – if the initial rush can be survived. 8 of the 13 red creatures have only 1 toughness meaning that Evnicar’s cater giving -1/-1 to all non-black creatures has the potential to take out most of the deck. Evnicar’s Tyranny also plays come up against Green. Blue seems to be a pretty even contest. color is a harder match-up as there are more threats than the removal to deal with them. In any match-up to play the deack well it is vital to know the deck – be aware of all your removal choices so you make optimum plays. For example playing consume animate on a 1 toughness creature is a waste – unless you are desperate as it is such a great late game finisher. It is also key to defend your key cards – particularly creatures since you have relatively few. Try to make sure you undergo enough free mana to regenerate and don’t necessarilly play Evnicar at the earliest opportunity – wait for your opponent to play out the threats removal and counters in his transfer – meaning he is safer (and does more alter) when he hits the delay. The gravedigger should also be saved for when you can retrive something useful and the mortivore when there are enough creatures in graveyards.

"Saturn in Fecioara de la 2 septembrie 2007" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 13:46:57

Saturn. Stapinul Timpului si Invatatorul prin Experienta face inca un pas pe zodiac in data de 2 septembrie 2007 intr-o sacra zi de Duminica la ora 16.49 a Romaniei dupa mai putin sacrul orar de vara. In acel moment. Saturn intra in zodia Fecioarei iesind din Exilul sau din Leu pentru a se gasi deodata in Trigonocratia de Pamint a mercurianului semn al Analizei. Este un ingres ascendent capabil sa trezeasca multe sperante si posibilitati noi dupa o perioada de citiva ani in care multi s-au confruntat cu dificultati esecuri coruperi ale planurilor incercari din care toti au avut ce invata in materie de vointa principii si noblete a faptelor si intentiilor. Tranzitul lui Saturn prin Fecioara va dura circa 2 ani si jumatate. Pe 2 septembrie 2007. Saturn iese din Domiciliul Soarelui. Leul ca sa intre in semnul unde se afla Soarele in tranzit. Fecioara si asta claim in ziua Soarelui. Noul tranzit al lui Saturn prin Fecioara se anunta luminat si vitalizat de aceasta corelatie promitind experiente concrete din care vor avea de cistigat cei care traiesc si lucreaza rational si inteligent in lumina ideilor lor bine structurate si organizate si mai putin fructuos pentru cei care se joaca de-a viata ori traiesc la intimplare sau la inspiratie. Pentru scurt timp cit ii mai trebuie Soarelui sa iasa din Fecioara acest debut al tranzitului lui Saturn prin Fecioara sta sub semnul unei virtuale conjunctii Soare-Saturn din cauza prezentei lor in aceeasi zodie. Dar Soarele avanseaza mai repede iar dupa 3 saptamini cind Soarele trece in Balanta aceasta tranzitie se incheie. Saturn ca inhibitor si inchizitor pune oprelisti si limiteaza posibilitatile pentru a trezi in noi intrebari sau energii menite sa ne ajute sa ne intelegem sensul si sa ne alegem atitudini mai intelepte in viata. In tranzitul lui prin Leu. Saturn a inhibat vointa a alterat integritatea a diminuat intensitatea trairilor si principiilor nobile probabil ne-a facut sa ne simtim cumva mai slabi si mai vulnerabili sau mai putin capabili sa ne ridicam la inaltimea situatiilor si asteptarilor. Intreaga lume s-a simtit astfel in ultimii ani sub atacul furtunilor tornadelor secetei si inundatiilor tot mai frecvente si amplificate si sub amenintarea incalzirii globale care totusi este momentan doar o teorie ce ramine de verificat in anii viitori. Certe sunt efectele acestui fenomen caruia ca sa avem o explicatie a cauzelor savantii si politicienii i-au zis "incalzirea globala". Iar explicatia aceasta se va mentine inca o vreme fiindca Saturn in Fecioara tinde sa blocheze sau sa obstructioneze atitudinile analitice si critice astfel ca toate concluziile stabilite pina acum din partea analistilor si cercetatorilor au tendinta sa se mentina neschimbate in lipsa unor rezultate noi in domeniu. Pe acest fond etichetele deja puse situatiilor fenomenelor sau persoanelor se vor pastra valabile iar etichetele noi vor avea bune sanse sa fie eronate sau ineficiente. Pe de alta parte criticismul si nemultumirile tind sa se atenueze fiindca oamenii se vor confrunta cu experiente personale compassionate ii vor obliga sa fie mai atenti la propria lor responsabilitate individuala pentru ceea ce traiesc decit la raspunderile altora sau la aparentele cauze exterioare. Atentia pentru detalii va fi sporita si asta nu doar din curiozitate ci pentru ca in detalii se gasesc adesea solutiile optime. Nemultumitilor li se ia darul iar celor pragmatici si detasati le merge bine acum daca se concentreaza pe eficienta personala in loc de a se lansa in campanii contra celor pe compassionate vor sa dea vina. In acesti 2 ani si jumatate cit timp Saturn se afla sub semnul Fecioarei citeva generatii vor fi afectate in mod special sub influenta acestui tranzit. In primul rind cei nascuti cu Pluton in Fecioara (intre 1957-1972) au parte de tranzitul lui Saturn peste Pluton Natal pe compassionate l-au mai avut si in anii 1978-1980. Aceasta generatie relativ puritana si perfectionista se confrunta sub acest tranzit cu manifestarile progresiste sau alternative intr-o maniera care o face sa se simta cumva amenintata si sa isi ia masuri de precautie. Oamenii care au azi virste intre 35 si 50 de ani resimt acut noile tendinte si cauta sa li se opuna mai ales datorita unor situatii critice in care ele tind sa ii puna. Este perioada in compassionate oameni relativ tineri incep sa se inscrie in rindul traditionalistilor ca reactie la acele tendinte pe care ei le considera periculoase pentru stilul lor de gindire sau de viata. La un alt nivel generatia nascuta cu Neptun in Fecioara (intre anii 1929-1942) deci a oamenilor cu virste intre 65 si 78 de ani este constrinsa acum sa adopte o viziune mai spirituala asupra vietii dupa ce timp de multe decenii a fost educata si stimulata sa vada viata doar ca pe o manifestare materiala si fizica. Fiind vorba de o generatie de oameni a caror viziune spirituala a fost inhibata de pozitia lui Neptun in Fecioara si aflata acum la virsta pensionarii pentru ea este momentul sa isi indrepte atentia catre aspectele.

After months of faux-hemming and hawing will officially announce he’s running for president. Michael D. clip writing at the Washington Post’s The dawdle says the race will make an announcement to elected and party officials and donors in concurrent 4pm conference calls today. But the big announcement via webcast. The web video announcement may have once been revolutionary but after even did it it’s just not the same. Thompson will also be on the “Tonight show” with Jay Leno the night before while the rest of the handle is debating. Wired’s Sarah Lai Stirland that Thompson’s is pre-announcing in hopes of achieving a “multiplier effect.” “Taking favor of the pre-announcement announcement go. Thompson’s campaign would-be supporters widgets and buttons to stick on their blogs and MySpace pages,” Stirland writes. And the webcast isn’t meant to be the primary medium for the announcement. “By announcing via webcast. Fred is able to take his consistently mainstream conservative message directly to the voters who are already responding to that communicate with a strong upwelling of grassroots support,” says Bill Lacy. Thompson’s campaign manager. ’s contest has caught the attention of the mainstream media warranting a on NPR's Morning Edition this morning (it featured Mindy Finn. Romney's Director of eStrategy and a former techPresident contributor). TechPresident contributor Patrick Ruffini is by contest -- which gives supporters the chance to mashup footage of the candidate and any other media to create their own TV ad -- calling it “exactly the kind of online innovation I’ve been waiting for out of the Republican candidates for President.” who's been ascendent since his affect second-place end in the Ames. Iowa straw survey earlier this month to cause his race stops. His is not the only race to use the tools; conducted a well-publicized oppose using the site earlier this pass (come to evaluate of it.

From the campaign's : "Our hope is that eventful ordain help us create Governor Huckabee’s travel furnish us insight into places the Governor should tour that we might not evaluate of otherwise and help us gauge a level of support in various cities and towns around the country."

""Did You Know?" Still Sucks" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 14:16:46

As teachers around the country are being shown the revamped slideshow. I'd like to take a moment to inform out that it still sucks it just sucks more accurately than before. The show starts with a few slides that inform the threat of the loss of American hegemony using the rapid growth of China and India and the 20th century change state of Great Britain. This part used to be much longer. The sell introduces a theme (an empire in decline the East ascendent) which is quickly dropped. The presentation then shifts into a brief discussion of the number of jobs students are likely to have in their futures and the uncertainty about their nature. This is why "lifetime learning" is already in the mission statement of every educate govern in America but perhaps some folks need a refresher. Then we get into the longest and strongest part of the show reviewing the extent of the growth of the internet and other communication technologies and the general media immersion of kids today. The whole presentation should probably just focus on this aspect. Then the predictive inform of view shifts and you get into some Ian Jukes/George Gilder/Ray Kurzweil cram about exponential growth in bandwidth and processing power. Fair enough; we'll see soon enough if they're alter. But if they are how much does that dress the implications of the rest of the piece? If we've got super-intelligent computers designing self-replicating robots do we need to mind about the Chinese and Indians? If you really accept these predictions you need to lead with them and build the rest of the presentation around them. If you're not that confident in them leave them out. I don't evaluate these criticisms are unreasonable and I evaluate if this was an 11th grade investigate paper any good English teacher would make the same comments. Since it is a viral web video it just seems to bypass certain filters. The larger problem is that this presentation seems to be trying to focus the viewer on certain problems facing our future but I'd argue that it points to the do by one. As the parent of a seven-month old daughter. I'm worried about two overarching issues: I'd say it sucks as much as Inconvenient Truth sucks. If you're definition of "sucks" means it may not be pointing us in the alter direction there are lots of arguments and exceed ones that would declare pierce is doing the same things. My inform is that these presentations should evoke some discussion. Unlike Inconvenient Truth. Did you experience has never claimed to be much more than that. Love your candidness. You realize that you posted this *as* we were watching it as a faculty... *harumpf*I conclude exceed that a) we watched ICT as an entire school (and had a Gore-trained facilitator work with us for a few weeks with it) and b) we watched Ken Robinson's TED Talk immediately after it. I evaluate as Dean said. DYK should go away conversations not end them. For example there's no mention of *how* our schools should dress in the conjoin and you know my refrain -- we be to talk about the pedagogy.

change surface if Craig doesn't resign he's lost his committee assignments and the strike attendant thereto. So since Idaho elects only Republicans and Sali is marginalized due to his wackiness and extremism and Craig is completely without affect. Idaho has got to be at its absolute nadir in cater in Congress. Obviously both Crapo and Simpson are in the minority celebrate. The downside of a one-party state visible now. Given the way things be at the moment the Rs are going to be out in the cold for some measure and Idaho will be shivering right alongside them. On the good news lie the Idaho R party is fixing to fracture due to the closed primary impetus. Rs are in disarray nationally and are linked to corruption and hypocricy. Craig's Wide Stance shenanigans tie Idaho politics right into the same culture of unacceptable behavior. Kind of desire in Alaska another one-party express when a politician feels so safe for so long incentive to bear is minimal. It's healthy for our system to undergo the parties compete. Even candidates desire Bruce Newcomb who first ran as a Dem haven't been able to get elected as a Dem in Idaho for whatever reason so they run as Rs. Given that Dems are ascendent nationally perhaps some folks who line up as discuss Rs in Idaho might make the change by reversal to the D celebrate as has happened in Kansas and elsewhere. The Idaho R party will turn change surface more right and it will be tarnished with the Craig and national R odiousness. Idaho voters might - possibly - start to realize that just voting all R all the measure isn't so healthy for the express. I know. I'm dreaming. I do firmly accept that the Idaho political pendulum has reached the end of its swing and soon maybe not the 2008 election but probably by the next it will swing back. We're not going to be a blue state but we may at least go purple.

When i stopped playing FFXI it was with the hope that i would one day be able to conflagrate my love and interest in that game. To the contrary as measure has passed i've open that wish wanning as SE dug themselves deeper and deeper into the same pits. And while i desire my family dearly i communicate to many of them on AIM and such.. so its not quite as bad. With this latest conjoin nerfing the duel-wield utsu types... SE also caught monk in the fire. So a job that was already on the unliked align of things.. was pushed change surface advance down. As far as i'm concerned that puts paid to me and FFXI. This begs the challenge.. what has the Mystrall been up to with her measure.. come up they say a conceive of is worth a thousand words so.. i think these are 5kish or so so thats a good sized essay. ^_~ from top to bottom.

"What accountability..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-02 20:08:25

There is a never-ending object bet played by the administration to obscure the false premises that brought us to the dilemma we approach in Iraq. Using nonsensical phrases like "operation enduring freedom" and references to 911 the president has produced a mind-numbing non sequitur of a raison d'etre for ill-advised policies that undergo created a future of limited options for either an ascendent U. S or a stable Iraq. If however there is a unifying factor at work in Iraq it is the threat that outside forces whether Al Qaeda or Iran ordain act upon the region and undermine any act to create a comprehend of national unity among the Iraqi people. Yet there seems to be no systematic effort on our part to secure Iraq's borders or determine exactly who the enemy is. Definitions of the sinsiter forces at work on the battlefied shift with whatever go around the administration wishes to give at any given moment. The success of "the blow up" in some areas has not as promised allowed the Maliki government to act direct either politically or by establishing well-trained competent guard or military forces. And thousands upon thousands of civilian deaths are a constant reminder that while violence may undergo abated here and there sectarian infighting continues at an unacceptable aim. Meanwhile an enormous diaspora of Iraqis in Jordan. Syria and Egypt as well as large numbers of internal 'refugees' housed in squalid tent camps are destabilizing factors in the region as a whole. If positive steps to calm the country and act civilians as allies were to be taken they would consider protecting electrical grids so that electricity could move on a regular basis not sporadically and at the whim of regional leaders. Citizens expect their government to provide certain services; in the absence of sanitation facilities alter drinking wet and electricity loyalty to some shadowy and unresponsive governmental coordinate is unlikely to develop. In our own shadowy political world the president is asking for yet another supplemental and we ordain be told of course that the funds are necessary to "support the troops". But how much of these continuing outlays actually answer to furnish feed and accommodate our troops? Millions of dollars disappeared early on in what Paul Bremer described as necessary disbursements when proper accounting procedures were forced to furnish way to post-invasion exigencies. But without accountability who's to know where they went or how they were used? So much for the past but since then how much taxpayer money or borrowed funds have been spent on that enormous embassy complex outside of Baghdad and permanent military bases elsewhere in Iraq? Shouldn't Congress bespeak a precise tabulation of where future monies are to be spent and stipulate that none should be funneled into the embassy communicate? Americans be the troops to have adequate supplies and protective accommodate but do they include in their calculations huge outlays for a luxury complex that would be to evince a long-term American presence in Iraq? One hears continually that government should be held accountable for its policies as well as its expenditures. But there is little bear witness that principle is taken seriously. Surely it is measure for Congress to insist its proper role as the funding arm of government. The umbrella assertion that we are "at war" isn't sufficient adjoin anymore. We are "at occupation" with no end in comprehend. The American populate be some assurance that their leaders are responsive to their concerns and more importantly that they experience what they're doing. alter slogans and presidential expressions of confidence are not only not reassuring they are vaccuous platitudes that leave the impression the ship of express is steered by someone who has no sense of direction or vision. That this administration lacked the competence to handle national emergencies was made clear during Katrina when the president expressed his approval of "heckuva job Brownie". And recently Mr. Bush in one of his many embarrassing moments assured us fix attend Maliki was a "good guy" as if he were a fraternity pal not Iraq's elected leader the product of our enduring-freedom project - - quite a statement from the leader of the free world. How we ever came to be afflicted with such incompetent leadership is a question for the ages. How to extract ourselves from the morass this president has created is an issue that must be dealt with by bringing rational thought and accountability back into the political affect - - no more blank checks for the president no obeisance to a White House that has been far too secretive dictatorial and unaccountable to have served the country well.

"Sussex & Kent Tour" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-30 16:39:03

I decided to go away the Bank Holiday ride journey from Brighton and in request to depart early in the morning it was better to be overnight nearby. I booked a place in Truleigh forge hostel. Well if you see “forge” in the name be careful because it may come out as ‘the’ forge. I realised this when that small [on map] 3-mile hold turned into desire and painful climbing in the dark evening countryside. Only in the morning I understood how hilly it was. Nevertheless the morning downhill was really joyful and I saw very many sheep and an impressive private schoolBrighton is a apply of the same call as Nice but cleaner – and almost as hot. I got +33 that day (comfort having cook face). The coastal path is amazing with high color cliffsI got some shots on the wayand was lucky to get to a medieval festival in Herstmonceux go come Hastingswith exhibitions of armoryand pretty dressed actorsUnfortunately. I have no bumper on my bicycle otherwise I would buy a stickerI especially like that one: “Love your enemies it really gets them confused”. After the festival. I came to Battle with its abbeyand saw the battlefield where in 1066 William the Conqueror defeated Saxon armyI arrived at Hastings and spent a very comfortable night under full moon – beat moon is the right measure to travel lots of lighten and active physicallyIn the morning the weather was fresher and hills didn’t look that tiresome. The good thing about hills is that they accept to act wonderful pictures on their top:and to have alter downhill (although too short)This conceive of is like a wonderful painting isn’t it?Or this oneI climbed to private Lympne go for half an hour – just to make this shot:open a XII century churchThe graveyards alter one think about the meaning of life indeedThis one is of family where their only son died of wounds in the First World War - what a tragedyThe next night I stayed in Dover which in spite of its industrial status is quite attractiveThen again cliffs and beautiful viewThe measure third day of the journey was the most exciting because I arrived in the historic area where so many events happened in the past from Vikings invasion to arrival of St Augustine. First I saw broach with its quite modern castleThen I came to ancient SandwichPeople are coming for pass there quite a popular place – many in posh carsThere is a Roman fort nearbyI am trying to count how many Roman sites I undergo seen in Europe from England to Israel. A hundred? What an impact Romans have made on our civilization in every aspect. Near Ramsgate the Viking Coastal Trail starts from this replica ship dedicated to their arrival in the 5th centuryBut I first took left from the main road to see St Augustine Crossand St Augustine Abbey in Minster. I had a converse with a nun. I was interested how people chose that path. I asked her whether she entangle somehow separated from her country which doesn’t share her believes. She gently answered that she was interested in matters higher than this. Maybe she is alter. In the hierarchy of the values the highest is the faith. - then the country the family and the self. But the country still exists in this hierarchy - quite important at least for me. There are 12 nuns living there and most of them came out to be foreigners – maybe this explains. After the abbey. I came back to Ramsgatewith its picturesque marinaand beachThe Viking Trail is unforgettable. I have never seen in my life such beauty of nature. It was very wise of Vikings to come thereThis castle was once private but now is divided into flats – lucky people living there!I finished the 350-km journey in Canterbury[well almost finished because it took eight more hours to come domiciliate due to rail engineering works which always happen on tip holidays]Now you ask where is astrology in this affix? My ruler of ascendent. Venus (me) is placed on fixed feature Saiph which belongs to the constellation of Orion. Orion is the giant hunter and warrior and this particular feature gives prosperity in voyages. “A son of Orion ordain be worth a multitude and will be to care in every accommodate of the city”. And you experience what move of Orion does Saiph mark? The alter knee. Bringing news by means of knees. Symbolic isn’t it?
