    I just bought a mac mini and everything works great except the sound. It is connected to my tv via an apple HDMI cable. I have went to the sound output pane and selected the tv as an option. When i do this the volume control display goes clear and there is no sound. and in the audio output pane it says this device has no output controls. The sound works fine through my Apple TV thats also connected to the same tv. Any ideas?

    You may need to select the sound output which is in the system pref pane.

    Also check the back of the tv some models have a hdmi port that is for display purposes.

    Oddly, I've just encountered the same thing, except my mini is the 2011 version. Just meant that I had to control the volume with the tv remote, which is some respects is not so bad.

    As to why it does this...? Not sure, sorry. I read somewhere that it started after Lion, but I can't confirm that.

    On a side note, (not trying to hijack your thread here...), but the most annoying thing that I have had to deal with is the stupid HDCP rubbish that prevents me playing legitimately bought iTunes movies onto my TV via the mini. I don't understand why the movie industry continues to treat us like criminals. I can buy movies on my computer but can't push them to a big screen..? Do they think that I'll buy the DVD too? Do they think I actually still own a DVD player? Is this 1990?

    Tell me, what is this HDCP crap actually trying to achieve, except pushing otherwise honest people to look for 'alternatives'...

    Use the TV remote to change volume. HDMI has fixed line level output.

    I use my tv remote to control the system volume > System Preferences>Sound>Effects tab - play sound either internal or external speakers ( I choose external so that means my TV speakers) now output tab >TV HDMI Volume is maxed but grayed out... Either HDMI source that i'm on that'll use tv remote for volume

This MBP is Freaking HOT!!!!

Discussion in 'MacBook Pro' started by mm1250, Oct 23, 2007.

    I just got my MacBook Pro today, and had it sitting on my desk while playng around with it. After about 3 hours, I decide to pick it up and noticed how DAMN hot it was.

    I'm worried because I plan on leaving the Macbook on for long periods of time and it sits on my nice desk and I don't want the wood to start warping /bubble under the MacBook Pro.

    Anyone have a soluton to this. Is it suppose to get this hot?? I wasn't running any big apps only itunes and internet.. what gives.

    Well how "HOT!!!" was it really? There are a few apps out there that can tell you that. Can you hear the fans running at high speeds?

    You may just want to have Apple take a look at it. Other than that, my MBP gets pretty hot at times and it sits on a glass desk. The only time it does get really, really hot, is when I'm using intensive apps. Even then, it's not hot enough that I can't touch it.

    Define hot. (post some temps using istat pro widget or something)

    The outer casing of the MBP does get fairly warm since it's made out of aluminum. The aluminum transfers heat from inside of the case to the outside.

    My MBP is running around 45ºC right now.

Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy no eyes.
So I recently started playing this and couldn't help but notice that none of the characters have eyes, except Jak with only his left eye being visible. Every eye in the game has been replaced with what looks like rock texture, giving a very creepy effect. Anyone else having some issue like this and know how to fix it?

New drug-resistant gut bacteria reported

Discussion in 'Other Health News and Research' started by richvank, Sep 14, 2010.

  1. richvank

    Hi, all.

    The news media today are carrying
    stories about newly-discovered drug-resistant gut bacteria that may
    have originated in India. A gene called NDM-1 is being exchanged
    between different species of bacteria, making them resistant to most
    antibiotics. With all the gut problems PWMEs/PWCs already have, this
    is not good news. I think this really emphasizes the importance of
    considering non-pharmaceutical antimicrobials.

    Best regards,

    Lancet Infect Dis. 2010 Sep;10(9):597-602. Epub 2010 Aug 10.
    Emergence of a new antibiotic resistance mechanism in India, Pakistan,
    and the UK: a molecular, biological, and epidemiological study.

    Chennai, India.

    BACKGROUND: Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae with resistance to
    carbapenem conferred by New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) are
    potentially a major global health problem. We investigated the
    prevalence of NDM-1, in multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in
    India, Pakistan, and the UK.

    METHODS: Enterobacteriaceae isolates were studied from two major
    centres in India--Chennai (south India), Haryana (north India)--and
    those referred to the UK's national reference laboratory. Antibiotic
    susceptibilities were assessed, and the presence of the carbapenem
    resistance gene bla(NDM-1) was established by PCR. Isolates were typed
    by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of XbaI-restricted genomic DNA.
    Plasmids were analysed by S1 nuclease digestion and PCR typing. Case
    data for UK patients were reviewed for evidence of travel and recent
    admission to hospitals in India or Pakistan.

    FINDINGS: We identified 44 isolates with NDM-1 in Chennai, 26 in
    Haryana, 37 in the UK, and 73 in other sites in India and Pakistan.
    NDM-1 was mostly found among Escherichia coli (36) and Klebsiella
    pneumoniae (111), which were highly resistant to all antibiotics
    except to tigecycline and colistin. K pneumoniae isolates from Haryana
    were clonal but NDM-1 producers from the UK and Chennai were clonally
    diverse. Most isolates carried the NDM-1 gene on plasmids: those from
    UK and Chennai were readily transferable whereas those from Haryana
    were not conjugative. Many of the UK NDM-1 positive patients had
    travelled to India or Pakistan within the past year, or had links with
    these countries.

    INTERPRETATION: The potential of NDM-1 to be a worldwide public health
    problem is great, and co-ordinated international surveillance is

    Thanks, Rich, this is useful since PWME/PWCs do indeed have relentless gut issues.
    (On a side note I am surprised how often that is left out, or minimized, on descriptions of the symptoms of this illness.)

    Anyhow, I have just emailed the above to a friend of mine who is an Ayurvedic practitioner and travels to India yearly. She replied that thinks she contracted one of the above last year, and reports that in fact antibiotics did nothing, but Goldenseal did the trick.

    For those not allergic to ragweed, this could be a good thing to have in mind.

    Thanks for posting this. It is the sort of thing that should be looked at more carefully.

New Day…Same Rain

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

It’s my Friday so this blog will again be brief, but then again I really have blogged this storm to death already…it is interesting though that this thing will be affecting us for a 5 day total with rain chances continuing through Friday. I still expected the activity to become more scattered THU/FRI.

If you remember last weekend I speculated about the potential of some convection developing THU or FRI that may produce some hail…that is still possible but dependent on us seeing some significant breaks in the cloudcover. Since the ULL (Upper Level Low) will be nudging closer to our region, the atmosphere aloft will be getting colder and colder. Here is a better idea of what I’m talking about…right now the temperature of the freezing level, or what altitude the temperature aloft drops below freezing is around 9K feet. Now if you went down towards Oklahoma City the freezing level would come down to about 6K feet and if you get towards the heart of the ULL near and east of Midland, TX the freezing level drops to about 3K feet. So what will happen over the next couple of days is the core of the colder mid-level temperatures will be coming towards our region. Let me show you this by looking at the model forecast maps…your now going even higher in elevation towards about 18K feet so that we can track the low better…

Notice how the core of the storm passes very close to the KC region on Friday before moving off towards the east of the area on Saturday. As the core get’s closer the freezing altitude will continue to drop. With that said though, the only way this comes together is getting some instability thanks to sunshine. That may very well happen, IF the storm starts sucking in some drier air into it’s circulation, which some of the model data is indication. The problem with that scenario is that the models do a very poor job in these situations, progging dry air entrainments, Then again the models are really struggling portraying the rain that’s out there now for that matter. Regardless of all this, it’s still in the back of my mind for the next couple of days. The bottom line is that IF you see decent sunshine, don’t be surprised to see additional storm development THU/FRI.

Everything still looks great for the weekend.

Here is your random stat for the day. Chicago will have the 8th record high in a row today…mid 80’s as a matter of fact making today the 6th day with highs in the 80s. How many days has Las Vegas hit 80 degrees this year? Well here is a graphic that answers that question.

The upper Midwest continues to break records for heat and earliest warmth ever recorded. It really is amazing to see what’s been happening up there and there is actually a small chance that today there could be a stray 90 degree high up there, which may be the earliest 90 degree weather for the state of MI. There is some great information about temperatures and moisture extremes from the NWS in Minneapolis.

All this warm weather has lead to rapid snow melt across parts of upper MI…Marquette, MI melted 44″ of snow in 13 days (3/5-18). Not surprisingly they are reporting no snow cover right now, shocking considering the temperature is 62 as of 7AM.

Finally on the AM show today we had a story about a women who was texting and waling on a pier along Lake MI…well you know how this ended up, she plopped in the water. Normally that would be a bad thing in March and she was rescued so all is well…but an interesting weather note to this…Lake MI is warmer now that it has ever been for this time of the year. As a matter of fact there is a buoy in the south-central part of the lake reporting 47 degrees now…that’s the normal temperature for late May/Early June

There you go…have a great Wednesday!

First of the best of Fall 2015: Wool and the Gang walks again

Following last year’s Eek hat for the Giles Fall ’14 collection, my friends over at Wool and the Gang had more knits walking the runway at London Fashion Week yesterday. This time they collaborated with Christopher Raeburn on his shark-themed Fall ’15 collection. As seen in the photos here (from @woolandthegang and @jade_harwood) the pieces include a pair of shark-shaped mittens plus a killer multi-color slouch beanie and big fringed scarf. The mittens, dubbed the Bruce Knitmitts, are available on their site straight away, both as finished goods and a knit kit, and they’ve promised to let me know when the hat and scarf patterns are available later this year. My compliments to the Gang on what must have been another thrilling ride. And to Raeburn, who looks pretty pleased with those mittens.

p.s. They were kind enough to send me an Eek hat kit when I was crying for a fast break from my four months with Amanda, but I haven’t knitted it up just yet. Love. That. Hat.

p.p.s. If I had the sewing chops, I would totally be making my own version of that olive-drab duffel coat with Grainline’s pattern. That is my dream coat right there.

13 thoughts on “First of the best of Fall 2015: Wool and Gang walks again

  1. I love the direction Wool and the Gang is going. I’ll admit, I was skeptical of their hip branding at first, but after making a hat with one of the kits, I’m sold. The needles and yarn were dreamy to work with, and I love how they’re showing that do-it-yourself fashion is totally attainable.

    The way that hat reflects the tweedy jacket…perfect.

    • Color me still skeptical, I guess? I hate to sound like a grump (or worse, a philistine), but I’m struggling with this. People whose taste I respect are excited about these knits, and I’m trying to Get It, but I feel like I’m missing something. Are these interesting or admirable handknits on their own, or is it mostly exciting that Fashion People are paying attention to something to do with hand-knitters?

      I can’t help wondering…if I saw one of these projects featured on a pattern pamphlet in the aisles of Jo-Ann’s, would I think “omg, so cool” or would I dismiss it as another slightly goofy and vaguely patronizing entry in the long list of novelty jiffy-knits? And which reaction would be “right”? Is context (not to mention marketing) everything? Am I asking all the wrong questions?

      • I especially love the hat pictured above, and I think it might be an interesting mix of wow, these handknits are comfortably fashionable and achievable for every level of knitter AND they could potentially be seen in the aisles of Jo-Ann’s—EXCEPT for the fact that the details have been reigned in just so. I think they’re edited beautifully, and styled in a really fashion-forward way, which makes all the difference between a novelty jiffy-knit and what WATG seems to be doing. I think context, editing, and styling is everything—these knits could look goofy and underwhelming, but they’re styled so well and so appropriately that they seem to work. I often see knitwear patterns that just read terribly, and then I realize that part of the fault lies in how they’ve been styled, or the particular yarn used. I think WATG is striking the perfect balance between styling (and lifestyle styling) and simple pattern writing.

…or five years ago, in Tunisia and a few hours flight away.

One of my strongest childhood memories is standing on top of a ridge of sand, staring wistfully into the distances as I watch the twin suns slowly set on the horizon…

Okay, I was posing on a sand dune on the beach at Fleetwood looking out as the single sun sank into the Irish Sea. I was geeky child with a great imagination. I’d seen Star Wars: A New Hope at a very early age, either on TV or VHS – I had to wait until the re-releases before the prequels came out to finally get to see it on the big screen

Luke was the character I most identified with when I was a kid, waiting for adventure and excitement, feeling that something was just out of reach yet calling to him. As an adult with wanderlust and a disposable income I knew that one day I would visit Tatooine and the Lars Homestead where Luke was raised and where he met a couple of droids that would start his hero’s journey.

In April 2013 I joined an Explore trip to Tunisia which as well as visiting Tunis and Tozeur, and historical sites such as Carthage and El Djem, would take in two Star Wars filming locations; The “Lars Homestead” in Matamata and the standing sets that formed Mos Espa in the prequel films.

Sand…lots of sand…

The Mos Espa location is in the middle of nowhere, a place called Chott El Jerid. This site is great for pinpointing exactly where http://www.losapos.com/starwarstunisia.  Either by accident or design the very large and quite substantial set built for The Phantom Menace still stands and is slowly being smothered by the desert. In fact, the encroaching sand dunes are being used by scientists to study how the Sahara is spreading; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23375344

Built in 1997 so were 16 years old by the time I got there, they seemed in very good condition. It’s an area you wouldn’t get to without a 4×4 and a guide so it’s not open to vandalism and damage you might get somewhere else. A nearby town had a shop with a couple of items that looked like they’d come from the set, and the entrepreneurial shopkeeper would try and tempt tourists in to see more items he’d acquired.

Coming home

I remember feeling very slightly cheated when I discovered that when Luke’s Aunt Beru shouts up to him to as he looks over the edge of the homestead – they were actually in two separate places. The internal courtyard is in reality a traditional troglodyte dwelling – now the Sidi Driss Hotel in a small town called Matmata. Not much has been altered as the locals are well aware of the power of the geek pound. The location was reused when they filmed Attack of the Clones and they left all the set dressing behind. It’s a very strange and familiar place, you can sit in the cave used for blue milk scene, it has a very recognisable painting on the ceiling.

I’m sure there are many fans who stay the night there, though I stayed in a similar hotel nearby. I tried to watch the sun set from the roof but it lacks the romance of the desert –too many satellite dishes and aerials.

I didn’t get to visit the external Lars Homestead structure that was restored by a group of fans in 2012. I did though get to see how they did it at Celebration Europe in 2013 when    they gave a great talk about their “Save the Lars Homestead” project. I also got a patch!

I got my Tatooine sunset on our last day in desert region before we headed back north. We walked over dunes to a beautiful vantage point. As the sun sank lower in the sky I could hear the classic John Williams score in my head, and for a moment lost myself to a wonderful sense of nostalgia. Magical, just magical.

Kansas Bureau of Investigation Forensic Science Laboratory

The success of KBI’s new forensic lab is very much in evidence.

As with any type of facility containing laboratories, design of this highly-anticipated new building was extremely challenging due to the wide variety of functions performed within its walls and the critical need to properly identify, preserve, analyze and store criminal evidence. FSB’s long-standing partnership with lab design specialists MWL helped to streamline the design and construction process for this project, working in collaboration with the Topeka-area architecture firm PGAV.

FSB’s engineering team brought innovation and creativity to the design of the building’s mechanical and electrical systems, consistent with the many types of environments in the structure. Complex and intricate designs were developed to fulfill highly specific investigative needs, while also keeping the building’s operating costs to a minimum. This required separate air conditioning systems for office areas and laboratories, and planning for such unusual elements as an indoor firing range and two vehicle inspection bays.

Factors such as fumes, temperature, humidity and sensitivity to vibration (critical to some of the bureau’s investigative machinery) were taken into consideration for the laboratories. To start, the labs were designed to be 100% ventilated, with no recirculated air, allowing fumes and gases to safely dissipate. Air drafts were eliminated so that they would not damage or destroy delicate hair, fiber and other trace evidence. Evidence vaults are designed to process 20 air exchanges each hour, again to avoid fumes and control humidity levels. In all, specific systems were created to accommodate KBI’s 10 distinct investigative units, including analytical chemistry, biology (DNA) and digital forensics, among others.

Natural lighting was utilized throughout the facility, along with energy-efficient LED lighting. High-efficiency centrifugal chillers also were put in place, along with state-of-the-art fire protection systems throughout. Overall, FSB’s engineering design resulted in a nearly 25% reduction in energy consumption over the original baseline building. FSB and MWL’s ability to share CAD databases and other information in a seamless fashion reduced the scheduled design duration by several months.

Located on the campus of Washburn University, the new forensics lab also contains 12,000 SF of classroom space, plus a 100-seat multipurpose auditorium, set aside to support teaching and learning space for the university’s growing forensic sciences programs.

You! Hey! You!

Wake the fuck up already!

No, really. I mean it. Wake the fuck up.

I’m not talking to my comrades who know how bad the world is fucked, because of the systems of power. I’m talking to you, the “Average Joe” or “Average Jane” who happened to stumble into this place.

Do you know why I hate this time of year? It’s election time. It’s when all the dumb motherfuckers like you buy into the false dichotomy of the corporatocracy and choose between the “lesser of two evils.” Hey! You! Yes, you! You don’t have to choose evil at all!

Aren’t you sick of working at some mind numbingly stupid, boring, useless job to make some dick in a stuffed shirt richer? Aren’t you sick of having to pay to live? Aren’t you sick of the environment being destroyed and the hate fuck of the planet that is being done in the name of profit — making the stuffed shirt overlords of your stuffed shirt boss even richer? If you’re a woman, aren’t you sick of being unable to walk down the street without having to be aware of everything around you like a hunted animal?

Why are you putting up with this?

Why are you putting up with this?

Why are you putting up with this?

Fuck all this shit!

There are other ways to live.

But you know what? No amount of being Green will help us. There are too damned many people for the planet to support without the false labor of the invisible slaves of petroleum. And the oil is running out. What are you going to eat when the oil runs out and the dead earth can’t support food anymore without petroleum-based fertilizers? What are you going to breathe when the air is poison and the trees, plants and algae that make our oxygen are all dead? What are you going to drink when the water is all diverted into manufacturing and industry?

What are you going to do when your children are starving? When they’re dying from toxins or thirst?

These times are coming. They’re here for most of the world already. We’re on the long slide to night. I see the extinction event is already in progress. The only question left for me is, after humans have killed themselves off, will there be anything left to start the beautiful dance of diversity and life over again?

Or is Mars going to find herself suddenly twinned?

About auntyfascist

I hate everything. I hate the government; I hate capital; I hate sexists and male privilege; I hate colonialism and racism; I hate fascists. I hate civilization. I hate religion. I hate stupidity, cruelty, misappropriation, manipulation, lying, fraud and hypocrisy. I hate you. I hate me. I hate every fucking thing.

    I came across this site after an attempt at cathartic expression by googling ‘fuck all this shit’ and this is pretty much exactly what I could have hoped for, and more. I love it and want to read more. Damn you the author for being this great, thank the heavens that you exist. Resonating well with all of this text. Keep on it!

This is where it all begins…

Decided to restart my photography by creating a fresh new blog. For the first post, I would like to look into how it all started for me to be into photography.

How do I get started in photography… looking back the old days, I’d never been through the SLR era, nor have I inherited cameras from my grandfather or father to spark my interest in photography.

Let’s put it this way. I like art. I used to paint a lot when I was young. I don’t get to learn or study further on art as I’m from a rather ordinary and not too rich kind of family. You need a lot of papers, crayons, water colours and etc to continue painting. In the end, I paint less as time goes by. When I was in the secondary school, I started picking up a Kodak film point and shoot camera from my home and start taking pictures of friends in school. There’s virtually zero control over any settings on the camera, but all in all it was a very nice experience that I cherish until today. This was perhaps the very first time I shoot a lot of pictures on film with a camera, though there’s nothing to scream about as there’s virtually zero technical or arty value in those pictures.

Moving into university, this is the era where mobile phone camera starts to bloom, and I used to own a few capable mobile phone camera (well, at least they are considered capable during that period) such as Sony Ericsson’s K770 and W610. I do occasionally shoot with my eldest sister’s Olympus compact camera, but they were just snapshots from trips and daily life. Then came along my elder sister who bought a Canon PowerShot G10 camera.

I can remember the first time I hold on that camera, the feeling is altogether different from holding my K770 or the Olympus compact camera. For the first time I see how things changed on the LCD as I fiddle around with the dials on the camera. It sort of like bringing back my memories on picture painting. I was speechless. How I wished to grab the camera out and start shooting all the way, but since my sister using it, I only get to take it for a quick spin once in awhile.

After I graduated from university and worked for about a year, I got myself the Canon PowerShot G12, which is an obvious choice for me as:

  1. I can’t afford DSLR
  2. This is basically a logical decision based on how much I’m attached to the G10 emotionally
  3. I don’t get a good feeling shooting with ordinary compact camera, so a semi-pro compact camera like this is just right for me

At this moment of time, I’m still consider “new” to photography as I virtually just alter the settings until I saw something I nice on the LCD and snap away. I have almost zero technical knowledge on how each and every setting works. With the arrival of my G12, I started to learn more and get more serious into the technical aspect, composition and etc. Not to mention drowning myself into the G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome) and so on. I’ll share more on how things came along in my next post. Till then.

Cocktail dresses for women with curves

It can be difficult to find party and cocktail dresses if you have curves. Either the top may be too small or the bottom may be too narrow. Just because you have curves doesn’t mean you are plus size right? Fzillion understands this and has a few designs and styles that may be right for you.
For curvy women, Fzillion suggests a maxi dress such as the one designed by Elizabeth and James. This cocktail formal dress is available in navy and black in a solid color designed with a thigh-high front slit, long sleeves, and mesh lining. This dress will beautifully and tactfully show off your curves all around. The versatility of this dress enables you to accessorize it with multiple shoe styles and jewelry accents.

A beautiful skirt gown is another style of formal cocktail dresses for women to accentuate your curvy figure. ReemAcra and Jill Stuart offer a couple of skirt gowns designed with a high waistline to allow the bottom half of the dress to flow over your hips.
Another curve finding, curve-flattering style is the pencil dress or pencil skirt dress. This style comes with a high waist with a wider cut attached skirt. Most often available as a sleeveless dress, you can add a short jacket to complete the look for a night out. Fzillion designers Self Portrait, Alex Perry, and Cushiest Ochs offer sexy cocktail dresses for women with curves.
If you aren’t looking to show off your curves but want to find some cocktail and party dresses for a night out a tunic or swing top style is the right choice. These styles are often cut above the knee but have a more open loose-fitting design that rests on your curves without showcasing them. These free flowing dresses are perfect for warm to mild weather and look great for casual occasions.

Samsung is celebrating the upcoming release of the One Plus Six with a “Six Days to Launch” promotion! With extra student discounts, discounted priority shipping, and a refer your friends promotional to start with. Not a bad way to make a splash for Samsung’s latest powerhouse with a Snapdragon 845 at the core.

This lead up to the launch includes a lottery to win a free OnePlus 6 phone, “pop-up” events, and more. Check out Samsung’s launch site for more!

The official OnePlus Launch Site.

The official OnePlus website.

So, why do we love the OnePlus 6? Because it is a transitional technology. Because it’s on the edge. We love the OnePlus 6 because it’s the NEXT BIG THING. Oh, yeah, it’s got the notch, but all phones have those now. We love it not because of the notch, but because of how small it is. We love it because the 19:9 screen is great for games on the go. We love it because the processor is that darned fast. Slim and sleek, the new Samsung flagship phone delivers more than just the ooh factor.

The notch, a term for the black area at the top of a phone’s screen where the sensor and camera are mounted, is very small, and Samsung worked to get the android notification icons to fit beside it on the bit of screen between the notch and the bezel. It’s a good design, and effective use of the screen area.

Amoled (optic) screens are great, and the one used by the OnePlus 6 delivers a crisp colorful display. Photos look great, videos are just as good, and games pop. Next up, when Samsung says “flagship,” it’s the model where they pull out all of the stops. This phone is no different, so the OnePlus 6 gets the full treatment with “Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5.” Likely making this one of the toughest display screens on a phone to date.

Finally, there is the processor. This is WHY everyone should love this phone. The OnePlus 6 is not just powerful, but really powerful. Just how powerful? How about 20% to 30% faster than anything before it? The Snapdragon 845 is just nasty fast. Games like PUBG and FFXV won’t make the OnePlus 6 break a sweat (and even if it did, the phone is water resistant anyway!). The 845 is so fast, we’re awaiting the next generation of games.

We got a load of reasons at GadgetNutz to be looking forward to the release of the OnePlus 6. Power, display, the best use of the notch we’ve seen (sorry, Apple). This is the phone we’ve been waiting for.

Reading - The Silence Room

This is a collection of short stories by Sean O'Brien who is apparently a poet from Newcastle, in that he lives there having obviously recognised the Rio of the North for its potential. The Silence Room is a room in the library and almost all the stories have some resonance, or even a scene in or around the library or writing. I think there was only one I didn't like but several that were really rather good and I'd recommend this to anyone who like slightly spooky but not necessarily resolved stories. And as you'd expect from a poet, the use of language is generally spot on, unlike this review which is pretty light.

If you wander the halls at Gen Con you’ll eventually come to a certain cluster of people. Beyond their laughs and between their intense focus lies a table full of rising hills and broken ground. Soldiers from the Second World War, Vikings from another time, and dragons from another place all rage with reckless abandon. This is Heroscape. Don’t tell these people it’s been out of print for nearly a decade, for they don’t care.

Craig Van Ness worked at Hasbro during its golden age. He was in the designer’s seat for Heroscape, Queen’s Gambit, and Star Wars: Epic Duels. But that was yesterday. Today he’s running Soaring Rhino alongside his brother Jeff. Their first release is Shifting Realms and that’s what we’re here to talk about.

The concept here is classic – the players represent warring factions who have caused a cataclysmic event to occur. This has ripped apart time and space resulting in the collision of disparate realms. We’re returning to these splintered dimensions and repairing them by restoring order and healing their wounds.

Yet, we are tribes at war. So we race to accomplish this task in grand competition. The action takes place across three randomized boards seamed together horizontally. These realms are taken from a larger pool that includes elements such as the stout grey dwarves of Tyrfing, the legendary pirate colony Libertatia, and the enslaved orcs of Dovre. There are five options in total, each offering a unique set of buildings and flavor.

This setup of randomized content is enticing. It’s the defining quality as it provides variety upon subsequent plays and shifts your strategic approach. In addition to altering the building options, each possesses a unique story deck for players to plumb that will alter the overarching narrative.

Take for instance the gray dwarves. These little dudes are obsessed with carving out the land and burrowing deep. This is not simply to cull the gold from the earth but also to keep their heads low. You see, an enormous dragon flies overhead terrorizing the populace. Represented by a fiery miniature, story cards you draw allow you to move the beast about and devour player pieces. Structures are safe, but your hardened warriors and fragile scouts will find their way into the wyrm’s gullet.

The orc board, on the other hand, features a menacing troll lord. You can sacrifice your warrior pieces in battle to remove one of the tyrant’s health tokens, claiming a prize and inching towards liberating the greenskins.

These wonderful narratives and personalities tie into the endgame trigger. Once two of the three settings have reached their finale, the game abruptly ends. This works well to keep an element of risk and unpredictability surrounding the conclusion as players dictate the tempo.

Amid the shifting modularity is a solid foundation. The core mechanisms are light and direct. You move your scouts along the board to gather resources and protect them with your soldier meeples. Those warriors can battle other players with a deterministic combat resolution that incentivizes you to protect your hapless workers. This doesn’t dominate the game but it provides a tool for interaction and opens up a tactical element that’s interesting.

One thing to note is the game’s core is very bland. If distilled down to that simple worker system where you gather resources and then manufacture buildings – it’d be pretty underwhelming. This merely serves as a support system for the overlaying asymmetry of the design. That rampaging dragon and its ilk inject flavor and provide something for you to hang your hat on.

Still, the game never grows overly complex. The dragon merely removes a single piece when stomping through a space. Pirate raids are accomplished by laying a couple of meeples down and claiming your prize. Defeating the troll is simply removing two of your warriors and flipping the token. It’s all very streamlined and easy to grok, sitting comfortably at the border between light and medium weight.

The buildings you slap down intertwine with those narrative bits by providing ongoing resources or special abilities to wield. As the worlds develop the big picture comes together with success.

Shifting Realms leverages its simplicity by providing a wholly unique design that doesn’t quite feel like anything else. It’s a Euro-style game, but it’s not worker placement or tableau building. It mixes in elements of thematic games and harnesses a bit of gusto, but it keeps things focused. The game will almost blow by you at times as it clocks in at a very brisk 60 minutes. All of this makes for an effective combination.

Seeing the Van Ness brothers team up to re-enter the industry is endearing. This inaugural title is an effective design that comes through on its promise and maintains interest. As an expansion of slightly more complex realms sits on the horizon, it looks as though the future is bright and they’re poised to soar.

Book Review: 'Entangled Earth' by David Lea

'Entangled Earth' by David Lea, is an enjoyable and thrilling apocalyptic story. The originality of the premise and the engaging and grounded characters drew me into a story that was compelling, and both exciting and horrific at times.

Physicist Mia Green is in Paris for a conference and whilst she is visiting the Eiffel Tower, the apocalypse seemingly descends upon Paris, destroying the world famous Tower and most of the city with it.

Somehow Mia escapes the destruction, and her only thought is to get back to her husband and son back in England, in the hopes that they are safe. Bruce, the only other survivor from the Eiffel Tower, and Abraham, a professor who knows what happened - it's a scientific experiment gone horrifically wrong, join her on her journey back home. Along the way they find out that it wasn't just Paris that was affected but the entire world, and they must try to survive the apocalyptic journey to Cambridge, England and hopefully rectify the situation.

I liked the way the main characters dealt with the obstacles that came their way. And there were certainly plenty of them to get through! It felt like they were very real-world solutions to their problems, with the characters actually having to think about what to do, and then still sometimes getting by with a sliver or two of good luck.

The world building was pretty good too, giving us a believable world of chaos and devastation, thanks to the lab experiment, and seeing how the world is coping with the dire situation. *Spoiler* Not very well!

It's an apocalyptic sci-fi story that is fast paced and action packed. There are elements of horror, especially at the beginning of the destruction of Paris and the gory deaths, but it's more of an exciting adventure story as Mia, Bruce and Abraham race against time and try to save the world.

Definitely a good read and one that I enjoyed.

Five minutes with Bianca Vallentine of The Vallentine Project

Today, I’m speaking with a talented Melbourne-based creative, who not only lays claim to what I think is the best surname (!), but also a business founded on sustainable design.

Meet Bianca Vallentine of The Vallentine Project.

After studying fashion and textile design, something about the industry didn’t sit right with Bianca Vallentine.Seeing the disposable nature of fashion as trends cycled through each season, Bianca was determined to put her skills towards longer-lasting creations.

This saw the launch of The Vallentine Project in 2004, which has organically morphed and flowed over the years from a fashion label to the current incarnation: hand painted and embroidered linen, each one of a kind.

So sit back and soak up the learnings from Bianca as I find out about her business, challenges, wins and what’s in store for this ever-inspired brand.

Where does the inspiration come from for your designs?

I often get inspiration as I’m in my day to day. If you ever see someone sizing up a wall or perhaps uncomfortably close to a plant, it’s probably me working out how I can translate a pattern or texture into a painting onto cloth. Half painted walls are my absolute favourite.

What makes your products unique?

I think the most unique part of what I do is that all the painting is done by hand.

People think I’m mad (I think I’m mad when I’m looking down the barrel of a 70 metre roll) because there is no easy way to do a mass run and it’s very time consuming.

But that’s pretty much the point.

I don’t want to see my stuff collecting dust in a op-shop or headed to landfill, I’m a big believer you just need less stuff.

I started feeling this way whilst I was collecting fabric from op-shops in my mountain series, I’d see heaps of that 80s Ken Done bedding just loitering about and it used to make me feel a bit ill. I knew when I started making more product that I really didn’t want it being the kind of piece that was so seasonal you’d discard it after a few seasons so really went the other day in terms of labour within the product.

Where do you go or what do you do to ‘recharge’ your creativity?

When I can, I like to head to my family’s farm in Western Australia, they’ve got a huge lake that Andy Murphy and I built a pontoon on and the family Macadamia farm is kind of remote – its 4 hours south of Perth and set in tall timber country. I like it because you can see the seasons change dramatically, see things in nature you’d never notice in the city and in general wind down from everything that is hectic about living in a city.

For my Victorian escape I pile the family in the van and we hit the road exploring the countryside in destinations like Fish Creek, Walkerville and Fairhaven.

Who and what is involved in the process from idea to product?

Most of the ideas and designs sit swirling around in my head for months before I can get them all out, but once they’re out and scratched down on paper I usually spend a few weeks getting the colours and textures right on scraps of cloth.

I mix all my own paint colours as a way to control my designs and I can spend hours getting the perfect pigment right. I have a collection of ‘nearly right’ colours that I look at scornfully because I hate waste.

I’ve started donating these paints to my other textile mates at Home-Work because then they can use them in their screenprinting workshops (it makes me feel less guilty).

In terms of construction I work with a few different makers, one factory purely does bedding and I rely on their expertise to get the production down pat. The other factory does all of our heat setting (to cure the paint so it doesn’t come out in the wash) and another factory adds all the snap fastenings. For the more fiddly things like the eye masks I work with a sewing master (my partner Andy Murphy’s mum) who can make anything from a skating Malin costume to a onesie.

I love chatting with her about sewing because she loves technical detail and new ways of doing things as much as me – it feels more like a collaboration rather than work (and let’s face it, no one else will talk about boring stuff like that with me).

You work in a pretty amazing space – tell us what it’s like working out of the Pop & Scott workshop?

Poppy and Scotty are old friends of Andy’s and it’s been exciting working alongside them and bounce ideas as we each started our businesses and families at the same time (Andy Murphy can be found under the Instagram moniker @salvadorgnarly).

There is a lot of energy at Pop & Scott purely because there is always something new going on, which I think is a great way to keep a space dynamic. It’s also been a bit of hot bed for new creatives coming through which I think is due to both Pop and Scott’s positive attitude.

What have been some of the challenges in running your business?

 I think when you are a small business there are always challenges because you’re basically building from the ground up.

I was amazed when I first started that I just couldn’t buy the right width, or right quality linen  – it just couldn’t be found in Australia! So that took me down the path of importing which can be a real gamble. I feel like I was lucky though because I had some good advice from a friend who really held my hand throughout the process and now we have a really great supplier and it’s no so scary.

The next big one was of course finance. Not having large chunks of money (and not wanting to take out credit or loans) was a bit prohibitive but I really wanted to build up funds rather than start with debt.

In a way this has meant that I’m much more considered when making decisions about the business, which has been a lesson I’ve learnt after working in the fashion industry.

And what about some of the highlights?

There are lots of successes along the way which I’m pretty proud of, but I think having stock at Koskela in Sydney and having such a great response from people coming to the Big Design Market last December was a real highlight, plus all the really great media coverage along the way.

Oh and Susan Sarandon bought a doona the other day so that was very exciting!

What is in store for The Vallentine Project – anything you can share with us?

I’m currently in the studio working on a new collection based on a natural coloured linen which I’m pretty excited about.

I’m also having a second baby in June so really I’m just working out how I’m going to paint across 3 metres with a big belly.

What is your big hope and dream for The Vallentine Project?

I’d really love to see The Vallentine Project stocked globally so that’s an area I’m looking at growing. I also want to keep pursuing new paint techniques so the design work keeps evolving and of course I’ll need some more plants!
