John McEwan has been in the miniatures business since at least the early 1970s, as McEwan Miniatures, Reviresco, and now on tin-soldier.com where these star fighters are still available alongside other sci-fi figures (1/72 Starguard, 1/300 Days of Empire), fantasy, and various scale historical miniatures. The Terran Marine infantry for Starguard have different helmets now, but there are still 2 vehicles pictured crewed by marines in stormtrooper helmets. (Ad from Best of the Dragon I, 1980)

❥ / from rachel .
@starguarde | GENTLE TOUCH
❥ : tucking stray hair behind their ear
BLINK. BLINK. BLINK.
There were no words to describe the sensation that such minuscule physical contact could cause – Brow dented. PERPLEXITY painting her pale freckled face – stomach turning over. Did she like it? Did she hate it? Bit of both—MAYBE? Mostly it just made her feel UNCOMFORTABLE. “Uh…Thanks? I could a’ done that myself.” Did folks normally thank each other for that? Was easier for Helena to think Rachel was simply helping her out. Getting hair outta her eyes. Not that CHEESY ROMANTIC SHIT. Slight shift away from the other. Hands found pockets – knock-off Converse shuffling at the ground.

❛ we need to talk about what happened. ❜ / for samantha, from nathan !
“huh? nathan, please, i already told you. it’s o k a y. ”
okay, so maybe it wasn’t… the best situation. two of her ribs were broken, she had just gotten out of the hospital a couple of days ago, and her mother was now trying to pull her out of blackwell. so yeah, it wasn’t … great, but it wasn’t like samantha particularly blamed nathan, either. she should have known better than to grab him when he was already reeling like that, should have known better than to wrap her arms around anybody who was in the middle of an episode. she’d had plenty of panic attacks of her own, she thought she should have known better than anyone how jarring a sudden bit of touch could be. so no, the situation wasn’t ideal, but samantha wasn’t upset with her friend at all. herself, maybe a little, now that it had become such a big thing with their parents, but certainly not him ! nathan obviously felt bad about it, and she didn’t want to guilt him any further. that didn’t seem fair.
“it’s not a big deal, really… my mom will tire herself out soon, and then this will all blow over. promise. please don’t keep worrying about it … “

“All of this fucking shit was for nothing.” max incoming
“NO, IT WASN’T.” the storm, there was a way to stop it without any sacrifices. there had to be. in an infinite amount of universes there’s always one that GOES PERFECTLY. this had to be that timeline, no matter how impossible it may seem at this moment.
THEY WENT THROUGH HELL to get to this point, the blood ( not just their own. ) on their hands, the sins committed to get to the lighthouse with no casualties on their side. JEFFERSON WOULDN’T BE A BOTHER TO ANYONE ANYMORE. rachel was avenged, chloe was alive. but the storm still raged on. it’s not going to go to waste, max’s efforts were not going to be scrapped. not when ally has something in mind. “CAULFIELD.” the thunder in the distance being the only thing snapping them back into reality.
“y- you need to TRUST ME on this.” they might not make it back, but it was the only way. their hand extends, for her to take hold. “i’m going to fix this, but i need your help.”

Space Marines, the 1977 sci-fi skirmish game from FanTac -- From A Mark Ratner’s 5-page article with detailed designer notes, explaining the different inspirations for the races, some rules corrections, and adding new rules, Dragon 14, May 1978. He starts with a nod to Guidon/TSR’s Tractics and John McEwan’s Starguard!, then adds his justification for ground combat in a far future setting, something some people still seem to struggle to understand.

Two Months Until CHANGE OF MOMENTUM Hits The Shelves!
CHANGE OF MOMENTUM comes out in exactly two months. To celebrate the arrival of the proof copies I thought it would be fun to share a snippet from the book.
This scene is set in the early chapters. Rowena, who is now working as a Fleet/Jhandarmi liaison has been asked to identify a murder weapon at the city morgue. Since her usual uniform is designed to be functional, and not reassure recently bereaved families, she raids the Starguard’s communal closet with input from Hollis Silar.
Hollis and Rowena were both introduced in BODIES IN MOTION, and while the intervening year between the end of that book and the start of this one hasn’t made them friends they are less likely to kill each other on sight. It could still happen though…
CHANGE OF MOMENTUM hits the shelves March 14th so be sure to pre-order your copy today!
Rowena turned, arms crossed, eyes cold as the black between stars. “I’m going to the Tarrin morgue and need a shield pass.”
“Depositing or picking up?” Hollis joked, trying to defuse the situation…
.
.
.
“It looks good. Your boots work, but I think we have some office shoes on the far wall.” He looked across the room, implant pulling data from the telekyen tags, until he found what he wanted. “Here. Black, with a slight heel. You can run in them and they’ll give a little height.”
Rowena’s eyes widened at the perceived insult. “Are you saying I’m too short to examine a corpse?”
“They’re weighted so you can kick in someone’s head easily, and the heels give you a better reach.” He grinned.
Her mouth opened with an objection then snapped shut, teeth snapping together as her jaw clenched. :You’re ridiculous.:
“True. But they’ll fit. So…”
Rowena took the boots and put them on. “How do I look?”
Hair pinned up, the suit with the gold, sleeve-less blouse on… She looked devastating. Dangerous. A dark goddess incarnate come to destroy the last remnants of humanity.
If she were anyone else, even another Lee, and he would have tried for more than a look. But, Rowena?
“Silar? Did you die?”
“No, no… I’m trying to find a suitable response.” He crossed his arms and shook his head.
“It’s not that bad,” she huffed, turning to look at herself from all angles. “It’s not very practical, but I look like a grounder.”
He measured her reach and took two steps back. “You look gorgeous.”
Rowena snapped him an angry glare filled with confusion.
Hollis held up his hands to placate her. “Please remember that the grounders don’t know you, they don’t know your reputation, and one of them might try to approach you and flirt.”
She shrugged. “So? People have flirted with me before.”
“How many had broken arms after?”
“That’s unfair!”
“All I’m saying is, please don’t add to the morgue’s collection of corpses while you’re gone.” He had to tease her, had to make it playful, because if Rowena realized how beautiful she was she’d run and hide again. The fleet needed her to crawl out of her shell. Needed her to be the confident, competent, officer she’d been during the war. She was the strongest Warmonger still alive, and, although she didn’t see it, many people in the fleet still looked to her for guidance. If Rowena could make peace with the fleet, the civil war that had broken them and brought them to die on this planet would finally end.
“Don’t break any treaties. Don’t break any arms. Got it.” She looked up at him. “I’ve done the training, you know. I might step into the occasional bar brawl, but I can control my temper.”
He narrowed his eyes all thoughts of coaxing her back into fleet politics forgotten. “Occasional bar brawl? In the last month the guardians had to break up seventeen ‘little brawls’ you were in. You tried to take out my knee cap in one of them.”
“You were off duty.”
“Seventeen, Lee. Seventeen!”
“I didn’t start them. Not unless you think breathing in public is enough to start a fight.” She crossed her arms, the metallic shirt rippling interestingly.
In that outfit, breathing could start a fight.
“Besides,” Rowena said, “that’s here with the fleet, not out there with the grounders. I know, when I step outside Enclave, I represent the Lee crew and the fleet.”
Hollis looked her over once more. Forget flirting, someone was going to fall in love if she went out like that. “I think you need to change. Maybe the dock worker uniform?”

What are your credentials, then? I actually did look for your previously posted credentials before asking, and I am BLS Healthcare Provider certified, as I am a student on my way to practitioner. I'm not complaining of anyone's referral to BLS skills or referring someone to a healthcare professional as anyone can do that without being liable. I'm just wondering about posting binding suggestions while also referring to a medical background without stating credentials in the same post 🤷🏼♀️
I'm a Level One Starguard Instructor, ASHII certified in basic life support/ EMT as well as a Starguard lifeguard with specializations in AED, tournaquet use and trauma triage/on site diagnosis of life-threatening conditions;needing extensive knowledge of the respiratory, nervous and cardiac systems. Meaning we have the same level of training, except I am actually certified to teach it. See how easy it is when you ask nicely? 😂 y'all are so unnecessarily confrontational. -Mod Dave

Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL w/ the NPG Horns & the gang performing at the Hollywood Palladium March 8-9, 2014. Found the following review from Spin + the setlist for the show via Vintage Vinyl News:
HOLLYWOOD — “Tonight, it’s going to be a party — a non-stop party.” So stated legendary old-school rapper Doug E. Fresh while serving as hype man during Prince’s semi-secret two-night stint at Hollywood’s storied Palladium. Fresh’s claims as he warmed up the crowd definitely proved to be truth in advertising: On many levels, Prince’s second Palladium show on Saturday became something of an endurance test.
The show was set to begin at 8 p.m., but it would be over two hours before Prince actually hit the stage; during that time, a DJ played a snippet of seemingly every vintage hip-hop track ever released: Sugarhill Gang, Biggie, Tupac, Young MC – even “Jump Around” by House of Pain, a song few would expect to groove to at a Prince show. And after Prince finally did make his entrance at around 10:20, he would go on to play for nearly four hours – in addition to an initial twelve-or-so song set, he would return for five encores, making for what some said is his lengthiest live performance ever. Certainly, after Prince’s third return to the stage, you stopped believing him when he’d ask the crowd, “Is it okay with y’all if we play one more jam?”
Prince entered the stage rocking a purple velvet suit with a swinging gold necklace and his now-familiar puffy Afro, working a look similar to the one featured during his “takeover” of Arsenio Hall’s show last week. Setting up behind a podium emblazoned with the famed gold-glyph Prince symbol, he led the big band behind him into a blazing syncopated vamp; for the second song, however, he pulled out one of his biggest hits, “1999” — a track that immediately electrified the small crowd of approximately 1,000, representing little more than a quarter of the Palladium’s 3,700 capacity.
Throughout his performance, Prince would pivot fascinatingly between those two poles. He initially seemed in full bandleader mode — most indicated by his avoidance of guitar. This allowed him to run around the stage and conduct individual musicians through long, expansive instrumental passages, or join in group-choreographed dance moves; as such, he only strapped on a guitar for the final encore — his recent heavy-metal retrofit of “Let’s Go Crazy,” which sounded more like Jimi Hendrix sitting in with Them Crooked Vultures than anything Prince has committed to wax.
However, for every extended jazzbo moment, Prince would explore some of his most beloved material, alternating deep album cuts like “Let’s Work,” “If I Was Your Girlfriend,” and “Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)” with more expected hits like “Raspberry Beret,” “Housequake,” “Pop Life,” and “When Doves Cry.” Typically, Prince’s poppiest material was given a new, edgier reworking: “U Got the Look,” his superficial greed-decade smash with Sheena Easton, became much more soulful and personal; meanwhile, Prince revamped the melody of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” transforming it into a stirring call-and-response duet full of gospel testifying.
Over the course of this epic set, Prince effortlessly demonstrated the range of his songwriting and performing talents. He explored not just songs released under his name, but also hits written for The Time and Sheila E, as well as covers of Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody” and Starguard’s ‘70s funk chestnut, “Which Way Is Up?”; intriguingly, he also covered two songs by his rival for ‘80s pop-culture supremacy, Michael Jackson: “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” and The Jackson’s “Dancing Machine.” Best of all, Prince was in full command of his powers — dancing and singing, alternating between raw, carnal screaming and a birdsong falsetto with great fluidity. A medley of songs mostly accompanied solely by solo piano — “How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore?,” “The Beautiful Ones,” “Diamonds and Pearls,” “Sometimes it Snows in April” — proved absolutely stunning, a clear expression of his charisma and talent. At the same time, Prince seemed comfortable, if not eager, to cede the spotlight to others’: often he’d appear solely as a silhouette in the background, letting singer Shelby J.’s bravura singing or Doug E. Fresh’s rapping take center stage as he tinkled out virtuoso piano lines.
The relentless spectacle of Prince’s talent initially proved a lot to take in. The onslaught of relentless virtuosity grew a bit numbing, with the thrilling passages alternating with the night’s more enervating, indulgent moments; there was also a reactionary, quasi-Luddite feel to the proceedings, with Prince praising “real live music” throughout, and having security eject anyone who might deign to take a picture with their iPhone. But in the end, his lows proved wonderfully unpredictable and idiosyncratic, and the heights were sublime. As such, last night Prince gave his faithful followers a fully committed performance that rendered a complete portrait of one of the most individual, distinctive figures in popular music.

Hi!! I have a question and you know a lot about first aid so I figured I would ask you. I'm cpr/aed/first aid certified but I want to learn more and hopefully help out at protest. Do you know where I can learn more medic stuff? I live in a small town so there isn't a big street medic group that I can join/learn from.
Buying books and finding online resources is going to be your best bet due to your accessibility!! You will need to update your certification EVERY YEAR. I know most certs go for every 2 years but shit changes so often regarding CPR and first aid that it's better as a medic to be re-certified every year. firstaidforfree.com is an option that I have yet to investigate, so I can't confirm if all the information is up to date, but if you've been trained recently and want to check it out to see if it's up to date it has some more in depth classes on trauma.The American Health and Safety Institute has phenomenal courses and I highly recommend them. They also offer PDFs; which I can't link on mobile, but if you google "ashi cpr book" you will find those.https://emergencycare.hsi.com/cpr-and-first-aid-courses?course=medicYou can also check out @nonbinary-support because I will be posting more medic tips soon that are more scenario specific.Feel free to shoot me any questions on specific scenarios!! I'm certified with American Emergency Response training and Starguard/ASHI. I'm going to be getting instructor training as well.
