hello there
I'm Sarah, a photographer based in Devon in the UK (but I'm happy to travel).
My real passion is photographing people, food and travel and sometimes a combination of all three if I'm lucky. Whether its a wedding, lifestyle, commercial or food shoot, what really interests me is capturing an honest reflection of the story being told. I love to photograph in a journalistic way, with natural light where possible rather than over-staged shots. I have a simple, relaxed approach and prefer to keep things as informal as possible.
If you're interested in an unusual, imaginative and overall fun photographic experience for your wedding day, lifestyle or commercial shoot then I'd love to hear from you.
all the info

The following is more of an overview and a resource for helping plan a system of your own. If you would like a detailed, technical breakdown please visit our friends of "Van Vs Wild". They have an incredibly detailed post about their system and we took a lot of their ideas when planning our own. A list of parts we used and links can be found at the bottom of this page. Now, on to the power setup.
When planning our system we started with determining how much power we would need for three days without ANY sort of charge. No shore power, no solar, no alternator. This required lots of super fun research and math. Yay math! Ah(Amp Hours) is the unit that a deep cycle battery's capacity is measured in. To come up with the amount of Ah we needed for those three days without charge we took the items we use everyday and figured out their draw in Ah. This is where the math comes in.
Ah(amp hours)= Wh(watt-hours)/V(volts)
So let's calculate one of these together. A charger for a Macbook Pro is 85W. If we plan to use it for four hours then we just need to multiply 85W and the four hours. 85Wx4Hours=340Wh. Our battery system is 12V so we just need to divide 340 by 12. 340Wh/12V=28.3 so the draw of the Macbook Pro charger for four hours is 28.3Ah. We did this process for all our everyday appliances and some that we only use occasionally. We determined that we would need approximately 250Ah for three days. We were generous with this number so that we were on the safe side. Again, this number includes no charging and it would be unlikely we would go more than a day without charging the battery in some way, but we planned on a worst case scenario.
With 250Ah in mind, the search for batteries began. For the kind of capacity we were searching for, 12V battery choices are limited. We ended up purchasing two 6V batteries and connected them in series to get 12V. The capacity of the batteries is 225Ah, which is a little short of our goal but the larger capacity batteries wouldn't fit under the bench seat. An inverter and a fuse box drawing power from the batteries. We use the inverter for our laptop chargers and any other plugged devices. Our lights, fan, refrigerator, and USB plugs are hooked up to the fuse box. A solar charge controller and the starter can charge the batteries. Below is a photorealistic diagram and parts list.

Green Tea vs Black Tea, Decisions decisions.../
Did you know that both black and green tea leaves come from the same shrub called the Camellia sinensis? Both tea leaves are harvested from the uppermost buds. Despite their common origin, they are so utterly different. What's the difference you ask? The difference comes from the processing and preparation of the leaves.
Green Tea:
Delicate and fresh, green tea has been described as the drink of Asia. The production process of green tea includes harvesting of leaves and pan-firing (drying). This halts the oxidation and helps the leaves maintain both their color and flavor. A quality green tea leaf, such as Ten Ren's green tea, will also be twisted allowing the natural oils and nutrients to lay at the surface and released upon brewing.
Black Tea:
The most popular tea in the world, is produced much in the same way. However, the harvested tea leaves are left to oxidize before being dried. The oxidation process increases the flavor and aroma.
These two teas might come from the same plant, but they are different in so many ways. Make sure you learn to enjoy them both!
From our family farms to your cup,
Ten Ren's Tea Time
Taste the difference!

Book Reviews
I love writing book reviews. I even had a blog designated to reviews. My desire to write long reviews has lessened. So I might take two or three Mondays throughout the months to dedicate posts to books I've read. Usually it'll be a few books together like today, but sometimes you might yet a review of just one, when the need to expand my thoughts arise. Hope you enjoy them. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman (Seraphine Book 2)
I love how the genders and sexuality of the characters are treated in this book. They are mentioned but not made into something. I wanted the princess to go the way she did but I didn't expect it. That was a refreshing twist. This was a really good end to the series. I very much enjoyed it. Dragons are awesome!
Incarnate by Jody Meadows (Newsoul Book 1)
I wish this book came with a CD of music. I feel like we are missing half the story by not having accompanying orchestra. Sam is... well interesting The irony of "protecting" someone who hasn't been reincarnated before. The Masquerade was my favorite part. Between her costume design and it's relation to the cover and the described dancing.
Asunder by Jody Meadows (Newsoul Book 2)
This was an interesting continuation of the series. It picks up right where it leaves off and things just go wrong. For a second book this has a lot of moving story and isn't one of those get through it till book three type of reads. Lots happens. The Slyph and the new realized theory behind it, is most interesting. The memory loss is also interesting and I am curious how she plans to over come it. The introduction of Cis and the drama with Steph. It's interesting to have other people's emotions besides just the main characters. Side characters have feelings too!
Infinite by Jody Meadows (Newsoul Book 3)
An interesting conclusion to the book. The ending though felt very rushed and incomplete. And then I discovered there's a novella. I hate novellas. Write it all into the book and be done with it. Don't be an asshole and create novella's that continue the story! We finally get to see dragons! Dossam's true selfish colors come out. People are extremely fanatic. But it all wraps up.
I'll try to be more descriptive on whether or not I enjoyed the book as I test out this new review style. XOXO
I'm a lifestyle blogger, covering deep subjects including body images, battles with food, and overcoming how I was raised. I try to be as authentic as possible and I don't sugar coat how I see things.

BIC Book: The Hog Island Sheep in Red White and Ewe
BIC Book: The Hog Island Sheep in Red White and Ewe
The second book in the Hog Island Sheep series of children's books produced by the Barrier Islands Center, Red, White and Ewe highlights the annual 4th of July picnic and baseball game on Hog Island, while also introducing the Lyle Gun used by the Life-Saving Service to rescue victims of stranded ships. The Hog Island sheep once again serve as humorous protagonists. The original paintings used to illustrate both books masterfully capture the playful mood of the story as well as the beauty of the island.

Stellar is a well-known software company providing software solutions since 1993. The latest version V6.0 of Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery is one of the most effective softwares to create back up of your lost data and restore it when needed. Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery software is available for Mac and Windows, having some similar options depending on the computer.
Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery V6.0 for Windows
The Windows version is more robust, proficient and has a better interface than others. The Stellar Windows version is divided into three parts: Home, Professional and Technician. The Technician version has all the features of Home and Professional versions. However, it does not mean that the earlier two versions are not up to the mark. These three versions have been created, keeping in mind the needs of different sectors. Hence, the distribution of features.
The Home version includes features such as Data recovery needs, a User-friendly interface, photo recovery module, support for large drives, auto detection of removal disk, improved "find" option, enhanced file tree view, advanced scan, deleted file recovery and improved engine for NTFS, FAT, exFAT.
The Professional version includes the same features provided in Home version. In addition, professional version includes raw recovery, email recovery, optical media recovery, drive statistics, clone drive & image and system start up disk. The Technician version being the biggest sector consists of all features stated so far and have other features like recover files from RAID 0, 5 & 6 storage, supports creation of virtual RAID, supports recovery from software RAID, raw recovery of RAID hard drives, automatic identification of RAID factors, detects drives sequence, strip size and remote data recovery.
Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery V6.0 for Mac
Stellar Mac version is compatible with the latest OS X Mavericks. The software allows you to recover data from iMac, Macbook Pro, Air, Mac Mini and Mac Pro. You can re-store your deleted files, deleted volumes/music, raw data, photos, resume, optical media, iPod data and can retrieve them in FAT and exFAT formats.
Compatibility of software
The software for Mac and Windows are very user-friendly. Both the softwares let the users find out the exact file by scanning the exact name; and allow you to preview before use.
Once you open the software, you will be presented with numerous options that you want to recover. Click on the type of data, you want to restore and let the software do the rest. The best thing about this software is that it provides an option of previewing the file. You can easily check whether the file has gotten corrupted or crashed or is safe. After scanning process, it will be solely your choice to retrieve entire data or just essential ones. That means, you do not need to clutter your space with additional unwanted information. Hence, the software can also be beneficial in helping you cleaning up your drive.
If you go for the option of Windows technician version, you will be guided through various tabs such as data recovery, image recovery or advance options. Choose your criteria and get step-by-step process for retrieving your files. The Mac Version has the same functions as well..
The best thing about these softwares is that they come with a limited feature and time demo. You can always use it before buying the entire software. However, if your back-up files or the hard drive from where you have to retrieve data is corrupt, then the software cannot help you restore them.
In cases when the system crashes, you can always hope for the data to be safe and secure. However, while using these softwares in case of accidental deletion, corrupted PC or viruses; the software may not be able to recover all the data.
Conclusion: For large data recovery, these softwares are beneficial. It would be best, however, to run the demo software before buying it for yourself.

The Boat
Sea Casa is a 1985 Hunter 31. Admittedly, she's not everyone's idea of the ideal bluewater cruiser. But like many things in life, sometimes you have to go with what you've got, and I couldn't be luckier to call the Sea Casa my home.
I initially purchased the Sea Casa from her third owner in June 2014. Being curious, I was able to get in touch with the previous owners to find out a bit of her history. She was built in Florida and immediately shipped to Lake Champlain, across the border in Quebec. The original owner outfitted her for cruising and sailed down the ICW with the intent of continuing on to the Bahamas. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the boat never attempted the crossing from Florida to the Bahamas, and she was put on the market, where she was sold to her second owner. She was then shipped to the West Coast where the Sea Casa lives today.
I was in college when I first realized I was going to live on a boat, and my most important constraint was my budget. I sought a boat that I could live on comfortably but was also small enough for me to single-hand to Catalina on the weekends. Sea Casa was the answer. It only took one visit to the boat for me to realize that this would be my future home. At the time, the idea of cruising didn't even register as a possibility.
Now, three years later, I've begun to realize how lucky I am to call Sea Casa my own. She's equipped with a B&R rig (racy double swept-back spreaders), complemented by her masthead jib on roller furling. She has a slight but pleasing amount of weather helm. At only 9700 lbs displacement, she is responsive and easy to handle for extended periods. Her light displacement allows for easy anchoring and she sails in a forgiving motion. I've enhanced her sail inventory with an asymmetric spinnaker and the ability to pole out the jib wing-on-wing while on a downwind run. I carry a spare main and genoa.
She holds 35 gallons of water (with an additional ~20 gallons in separate jerry cans) and 18 gallons of fuel (with an additional 10 gallons in jerry cans). Powered by a 13-horsepower, freshwater-water cooled Yanmar diesel (rebuilt in July 2017), she motors economically at 5 kts, sipping 1/3rd of a gallon of fuel per hour.
The Sea Casa is powered off the sun. I've installed 400 watts of solar, which for a 31′ sailboat is plenty to run everything needed on board, including our power hungry refrigerator and the watermaker (3 gallons/hour at ~13 amps). She is equipped with the necessities needed for communicating at sea, including VHF, SSB, EPIRB and AIS, as well as the necessities needed for navigating it, including multiple GPS chartplotters, radar, and autopilot. In the event of a solar failure, she carries a backup gas generator (Honda 1000). Her rigging was redone immediately prior to departure, and she carries copious spares for any unforeseen circumstances.
The Sea Casa also knows how to have fun and live comfortably. She carries dive gear, fishing equipment, and a library of books. Her galley feeds us with an alcohol stove/oven, propane BBQ, hot/cold pressurized water, and a refrigerator/freezer. She can sleep 4 comfortably, or 6 if everyone has showered recently.
To get to shore she carries a 8′ Porta Bote which stows comfortably in rail mounted surfboard racks (you can read another cruiser's review here). She is oar-powered, but also planes quite well with the addition of a five-horsepower two-stroke Tohatsu outboard.
I'm proud of the Sea Casa. She's not everyone's ideal cruiser, but she's perfect for me. She is my home, and I'm confident in her ability to take me to distant horizons.

Where are you from, and how did you get into the Pokemon TCG?
I'm from West Allis, Wisconsin, and I started playing TCG competitively (kind of out of the blue) towards the end of last season. Me and my friend just made decks and got really into it. I did collect the cards and know a fair bit about the rules prior to that, however.
Aromatisse is a lesser-played deck in this format. What's the basic strategy of the deck?
The basic strategy of the deck is to have your big ex attackers take hits and use Aromatisse's Fairy Transfer Ability to move their energy away and Max Potion the damage, then move the energy back. You also have to play based off what deck your opponents are playing. For example, if you were to play against a Yveltal deck you would probably rely more on Keldeo ex to be able to Rush In to cure from being Lasered.
Why Keldeo instead of Virizion, and what were some of the other cards in your deck?
Well, with the heavy amount of Donphan that I've seen in every tournament so far this season I played a Keldeo ex instead of the usual Virizion ex because I can hit Donphan for weakness. I also played a Malamar ex and its Ability puts the defending Pokémon to sleep if you attach an energy card from your hand to him, something I noticed that worked really well for me. The only "weird" tech in my opinion was that I played Lysandre's Trump Card. It was a great mid-to-late game card to get my resources back.
What worked well for the deck in the tournament?
I had gotten paired up against a lot of decks that I was familiar with and knew what to do against. I also lucked out and didn't have to play VirGen (my deck's worst matchup) until top eight.
What didn't work so well, and are there any changes you might make if you used it again?
Well, I only lost one round of Swiss, but that was because I dead drew. So, overall I was not too upset with how it worked out, and I probably wouldn't change anything on the list, except for maybe trying to find room for Enhanced Hammer.

A report by Carers Trust found that carers of people with dementia are not getting the support and advice they often desperately need.
The report also highlights key points where professionals and services can and should ensure carers are receiving the necessary information, advice and support.
A Road Less Rocky – Supporting Carers of People with Dementia found that only 51% of carers questioned said that they were given an opportunity to talk separately about their needs and how much care they felt able to provide.
56% of carers questioned said that they had not received information about managing the medication of those they cared for. More than half (52%) of carers said that they had been given no information on how to cope with incontinence.
Key findings
- Over half (52%) of carers in the survey reported difficulties in obtaining a diagnosis for dementia for the person they cared for.
- More than half of carers (55%) questioned said that they had not been given information on legal issues and managing money. Many had learned about Lasting Power of Attorney too late.
- Many carers, particularly those caring for someone in the later stages of the illness, felt ill equipped to deal with more agitated behaviours that might develop. More than two-thirds 68% surveyed said they had not received training or advice on this issue.
- 82% of carers questioned said that caring had adversely affected their ability to work.

Farm to College: Spotlight on Red Barn Produce/
Recently several of us from Bard College met with Kevin Terr of Red Barn Produce in his distribution center in Highland, NY. Since 1989, Red Barn Produce has been working with local produce farms aggregating their food to deliver to schools, restaurants, and institutions (like Omega Institute and the Culinary Institute of America) in the Hudson Valley and Connecticut.
Kevin Terr shared with us how he started working in produce distribution after co-owning a Mexican restaurant in Poughkeepsie. His description of the ins and outs of the produce world are worth hearing firsthand.
I knew a lot of people in Poughkeepsie who had restaurants - I went to all of my friends - and I told them that I would match all of the prices. I think I lost about 70 bucks the first day.
Some farms in the area at that time they took their stuff to Hunt's Point. They showed me how they got paid. They brought 60 cases of eggplant to a distributer and when he got paid what it said was 40 cases at $12, 8 cases at $8, 6 cases at $4, and waste the rest. They were commission merchants down there, "this is what we sold it for and this is your cut." The farmers didn't have a leg to stand on - take it or leave it. So what I thought to myself is maybe if I pay them in 7 days, maybe these smaller farms will sell directly to me.
Just think about that - these guys are busting their chops on the tractors all day, they spend one day going to market or driving around to restaurants and half of the time they aren't getting paid, or the distributors hold their money forever. So we worked out a deal that we would pay them in 7 days.
We have morphed into now a place for people who are looking for local from a local person. We bought 2 brand new trucks this winter - so now we are running eight. We get loads in every day and - we do about 550 stops a week and that might include 50 that are pickups. So sell about 4-5000 cases of grocery. We get a lot busier in the summertime.
There are people out there who want local produce. I have customers who want local produce and are willing to pay for it. We work with 33 local farms - some of them come and go and some of them we have to be a little bit more careful with the safety.
When Kevin talks about safety - he means that food has to be clean and safe to eat. The way that Terr is dealing with food safety is traceability.
When people get sick they want to trace where the food comes from. Wholesale people used to buy a case of lemons and then you can trace that case of lemons. But what is happening now is there is 144-150 lemons in a box. You buy 6, you buy 10, you buy 20 - so now what the USDA wants to do is they want to track everything - each lemon.
We [at Red Barn Produce] are going to code everything. Every single item that is sold is going to be bar coded - so there is going to be no problem whatsoever in finding them.
Somebody is going to get sick, somebody is going to ask something. The first thing you do when you get sick is say "what was I eating at that restaurant?" It happens to everybody.
Somebody gets e-coli from the spinach because it is grown downstream from an animal farm. Especially for you folks in food service at school - if someone gets sick - it is a big time problem. It spreads like wildfire, it puts restaurants out of business, and it is a stigma on food service everywhere when that happens, even if it has nothing to do with the cooking.
Bard College gets our Feather Ridge Farm eggs and our Wild Hive Farm beans and polenta from Red Barn Produce.
Cheers to knowing where our food comes from!

2008 Amazing Philippine Beauties Press Launch
This is a transgender beauty pageant that hasn't been around as long as the more widely known Miss Tiffany Universe in Thailand or Chicago's Miss Continental, but has rapidly gained popularity in the pageant crazy Philippines and garnered worldwide media attention as well.
The press conference launching this year's edition of the pageant was held yesterday for the 6th annual Amazing Philippines Beauty Pageant. There will be 25 ladies competing to see who will succeed 2007 winner Rianne Barrameda, possibly represent the Philippines at the upcoming Miss International Queen pageant in Thailand and the slots in the Amazing Philippines Theatre Show that go with it.
The Amazing Philippines Theatre is modeled on the transgender cabaret shows of Thailand, but features homegrown Filipino and Filipina talent. The winner gets in addition to a cash prize a contract to perform in the show.
Like the Miss Tiffany's pageant has discovered over the course of its existence, the contestants have not only been beautiful, but increasingly have been drawing college educated contestants with talent as well.
The pageant will take place on October 24, and at that time the Philippines and the rest of the world will discover who the new Miss Amazing Philippines Beauty will be.

I really do understand the urge to participate in this because of the way that trans women are constructed by society but I have a huge issue with beauty pageants being used. These beauty pageants objectify women. It says that all that is important is a womans physical beauty and not her mind, her dreams...I just think as women we need to stop colluding with things that limits us in this way. We are so much more than our physical bodies.
- Monica Roberts said...
I have a different attitude about beauty pageants.
When you are part of a group that's told you aren't beautiful, you'll never be a woman, et cetera, these pageants are huge self esteem boosters for transwomen and eye openers for our detractors.
I'm from the generation that saw the Miss Black America Pageant get started at a time when Black women were almost invisible in mainstream pageants.
It was (and still is) designed to be a positive self esteem building experience. Some of the alumni of the Miss Black America pageant system include some woman by the name of Oprah Winfrey.
- Renee said...
This is the same kind of argument that is used to justify the woc only beauty pageants but the same thing is at play here. I am sure that you will agree that black women in particular and deemed "beauty queens" because of the race hierarchy. Yet when we engage in these activities that we know are limiting to white women (the ones held up as ideal beauty) are we not just seeking approval from patriarchal forces whose main intent is to objectify us in the first place?
- Véronique said...
Renee: "It says that all that is important is a womans physical beauty and not her mind, her dreams..."
Perhaps not your dreams or mine, but if a woman -- cis or trans, and of any skin colour -- willingly participates in a beauty pageant, then maybe to be judged beautiful is her dream. And if that's so, who is anyone else to say that she can't have that dream?
- crys said...
i agree with veronique.....grown women have the option to participate in whatever they choose to, for whatever reason.
what i don't understand is beauty pageants for children.
- Renee said...
I think that part of the problem to me is that it is still making beauty as something that should be determined by the patriarchal lens. I support a woman's right to choose to engage in this behavior because I ultimately believe in the agency of all women, however that does not remove the problematic nature of it.
- Vanessa said...
Great photos and details.
There are of course down sides to beauty pageants, but I think a transgender beauty pageant reinforces the fact that transgender folks can be beautiful.
While it may hold up an unattainable bar for many, this is no different from regular beauty pageants. Except that these offer a valuable contrast to the traditional stereotypes of transgender folks.

- Audit Representation
Why do you want your tax professional to be an enrolled agent?
- As an enrolled agent I represent taxpayers with unlimited ability. With an industry that is mostly unregulated, those of us who are EAs have the honor and burden of representing taxpayers before IRS and State tax departments in capacities that unenrolled preparers are not permitted to represent.
- As an Enrolled Agent I have practice areas open to me that unenrolled preparers dont have - Examination and Collection divisions are my playground. I have a lucrative practice in those divisions in the IRS.
Audit Representation
As an Enrolled Agent the privilege allows confidentiality between the taxpayer and the Enrolled Agent under certain conditions. The privilege applies to situations in which the taxpayer is being represented in cases involving audits and collection matters. It is not applicable to the preparation and filing a tax return. This privilege does not apply to state tax matters, although a number of states have an accountant-client privilege.

This one has a really fleshed out combat and style to it. I'll be watching this one and if you haven't tried it yet, you should give it a go.
It looks like this is out of my control. There are enough keys and they are claimable. If this issue persists on other games too, I guess the itch.io support can help you with that. Let me know what they say about the issue.
Do these resources help you with your problem?
Hi wengwengweng,
it looks like there are enough available keys and you should be able to grab one.
There should be a request key button on your purchase page. Can you find one?
Hey all!
Leave your questions, some feedback or greetings if you come by.
Best Regards,
I like the character and the intentional darkness in combination with the torch mechanic. I guess the menu UI / Map is still a placeholder, but aside from that it already has a solid graphics style. The only things that bothered me was that you lose all coins on death and you can't use the same savegame candle to save your coin progress again. I would rather not loose coin progress when dying, because the darkness and amount of traps already makes it challenging enough to reach the end of the level.

Hey itch.io! I have decided to drop the price for Fumiko! in the next days. If you bought the game here and you feel treated unfairly, please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with a proof of purchase and I'll refund you the difference in price as soon as the new price applies. Changing the price here should be easier, so it'll happen sooner.
From the full blog post on Steam:
The game is now out for 2 months and I am not happy with the price I have chosen for the game. I missed the chance of appearing in games under $10 and not many of you were willing to try out Fumiko! at its current price. I chose something that I felt resembled the worth of it well, but I didn't hit many people's pricing expectations. Being new to Steam with only this game to show off and having chosen a particularly unusual genre/style combination, many people have chosen to put Fumiko! on their wishlist to wait for a sale.
That's what we all do and I can understand that. However, I want more people to be able to try out this game and give some meaningful feedback. If a lower price can achieve that, I'm willing to give it a try and adjust the pricing. I think in the current world with a collection of games as big as Steam has, people are having a hard time deciding on which game to spend their cash on. With that in mind, a price has to reflect what people are willing to spend on a game when they want to be able to play as many games Steam has to offer.
For this reason, I'll set a new price in the next days. It'll be something between $6.99 and $9.99. If you have bought the game for $12.99 recently and you feel treated unfairly, please use the e-mail listed on the support page with a proof of purchase and your bank account and I'll refund you the difference as soon as the new price applies.
Text Scenes
- It should now be less likely to accidentally skip the beginning of a conversation
- The demos now include two additional levels from the game that are more wild and atmospheric
- There has been a major bug that caused the default camera speed to be at almost 0, this has now been resolved
The menu has got quite an overhaul. I have decided to change the floaty interface to a screen overlay. This improves readability and allows me to show the menu more reliably.
- Menu is now an overlay that dims the screen
- Menu can now be activated during text scenes with some minor exceptions
- Latest Log now scales properly when there are too many lines instead of cutting them off
- Fixed a bug that caused music and ambient volume to fall down to 20% when exiting the game when the menu is open (If you have encountered very loud sounds, that was the issue. Make sure to check the sound settings after this patch)
- Quit Game no longer requires the player to keep holding a button. Press the exit key and accept to close the game.
- Default Settings were messed up when the game was started for the first time, this has now been resolved
Text Scenes
- It is no longer possible to skip text with B or SHIFT
- You can now auto-complete text by pressing A/Space and start skipping text by holding A/Space
- Fixed some smaller typos
- Changed some sentences that were grammatically correct but sounded bad
- Added some sentences to chapter 2 that might help finding the way to continue the main plot
- It is no longer possible to select and edit the text by pressing TAB
- Added a subtle hint to the exit gate of Kronos Bridge
- Changed the size of a trigger in the second level
- Updated several levels to be conform with the new menu and skip mode
- Updated the demo with the new menu & skip mode
- Made the last part of "Testing Lab" easier to solve
- Fixed several bugs that caused issues in rare circumstances
I'm currently working on a bigger patch for both the full version and the demos. There are different issues that occur after the first start of the game and disappear on the second start. This affects the camera speed and sound volume for different players.
For clarification - If you read this and you haven't downloaded one of the demos yet, you're already downloading the right version.
If you downloaded a demo and the game directly loads you into one of the levels - please download the demo again to get a fixed version. You should start in an empty area with two gates allowing you to choose which level to play.
Hi itch.io! I am happy to share "Fumiko!" with you - a game I made over the past 3 years and just published on Steam.
The game deserved to have a DRM free version (like every game does) and I can't imagine a better place than itch.io for this. This opinion might or might not be highly influenced by the amazing upload process and how quickly I got the game on here. Big kudos to this website.
What is Fumiko?
Fumiko! is a game about a female artificial intelligence finding her place in a virtual world. It features challenging 3D platforming and handcrafted low-poly scenes with a surreal touch. It's about 6-10 hours long and tells a psychological thriller story. In addition to directly addressing topics like Open Source and Surveillance, the game was developed with the Unity3D Linux Editor Alpha and mostly Open Source software was used to realize the game.
You can watch the Steam Announcement Trailer or the First 5 Minutes of gameplay to get to know the game:
I am looking forward to seeing your feedback on the community page and I am happy to be here next to all these other amazing indie games.
The game will be 25% off until February 28th.
Best Regards,
I'll use that as a reason to update the demos to a new version and combine them into a single download.
Hey folks and Indie Game lovers! To provide you a DRM free version of Fumiko! that you can copy around and share with your friends, I uploaded this game to this beautiful site. Please leave me your feedback if you played the game!

In 2014, CVS Pharmacy stopped selling tobacco products. It was a pretty big deal, lots of people were talking about it. So my writer and I locked ourselves up in a war room, responding to tweets in real time, creating custom gifs with personal tweet responses to policy makers, government officials, celebrities, anyone and everyone who supported our cause.

I can't remember how many we created and to whom they were sent to, but the one for @Flotus, I'll never forget. Does this mean I can now say I know Michelle? Below are just some of the gifs we made.

I can honestly say that I would not have been able to do this without all of you! I am looking forward to working with you all again in the future."

Scoring from IN FRONT of the goal can be hard enough for some players (we're looking at you, Yaya Sanogo).
However, for the more extravagantly talented footballers out there, it's almost too easy. That's why so many of them now challenge themselves… by trying to score from BEHIND the goal.
Lionel Messi's latest act of amazingness - bending one in from miles behind the net in a Barcelona kickabout - is just the latest example of a football superstar using this trick to show off.
That's why we've put together a top 10 of the best we've seen. You can watch all of them in the above video. All your favourite faces are in there - Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, Ronaldinho, Neymar - plus a few surprises too…
10. Rafinha
Training on his own for some reason but we saw it, Rafinha, we saw it.
9. Sergio Ramos
Not bad for a centre-back.
8. Neymar
First of two Neymar efforts in our list.
7. Ronaldinho
Is there anything he can't do?
6. Lionel Messi
Looks like this was filmed down the local rec.
5. Yohan Cabaye
Might be seeing this at Selhurst Park soon?
4. Alvaro Negredo
How Gary Neville must wish he a goal like this was possible in a Valencia match.
3. Neymar (again)
He's just got too much time on his hands.
2. Paul Pogba
1. Gunay Guvenc
Number one spot goes to this GOALKEEPER for this absolute worldie.

2017 Weekend Couples Workshops
Steven Patrick
After a one year hiatus from conducting couples workshops in order to support my wife, Susan during her two hip replacement surgeries, I am pleased to report that I have set up three dates in 2017 to offer The Art and Science of Love couples weekend workshops in beautiful Flagstaff, which is both a destination in itself as well as a gateway to any number of natural wonders like the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Grand Falls.
The Art & Science of Love couples workshop was developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman out of Seattle, Washington where they offer the workshop for groups of up to 600 couples.

It may be that, like the feckless Candide, we should quit tormenting ourselves about the terrible things over which we have no control — and just cultivate our gardens. Except we have very little control over what's happening there either. Plants inexplicably wilt, rot and shrivel; they suffer the depredations visited upon them by voles, moles and deer. And then there's global warming, giving booster shots to the poison ivy and generally wreaking havoc with droughts, downpours, blue northers and scalding heat waves.
Help is at hand, even if it can sometimes offer only temporary relief — or temporary distraction. Consider, for example, Nepeta cataria, catmint. Many years ago, it inspired the first demonstration of real delight my children took in the garden I tended in suburban New York. Yowls rang throughout the neighborhood, and soon our furry friends were staggering around in the yard. Nepeta cataria is "a unique herb," we learn in the handsome and authoritative RODALE'S 21ST-CENTURY HERBAL (Rodale, $35), "intoxicating to cats but relaxing to humans." Amply fulfilling the promise of his book's subtitle, "A Practical Guide for Healthy Living Using Nature's Most Powerful Plants," the esteemed ethnobotanist Michael J. Balick thoroughly explains the culinary and medicinal value of more than 180 herbs from around the world.
Balick's passion for the study of "the power of the bond between plants and people" rings out on every page. I defy the reader not to fall in love. His favorite book — of the great multitude spilling through his home — is John Gerard's "The Herball," published in 1597. The very smell of its pages draws Balick back to a time when families compiled their own therapeutic recipes. A global survey informs us that the yarrow stalk was used in the ancient Chinese system of divination called the I Ching; that Abyssinians stuffed pillows with fresh celery leaves; that Native Americans used pennyroyal to repel insects. A chapter called "How Herbs Work" examines their chemical composition in accessible, lively language. This indispensable volume is beautifully produced, a treasure for generations of gardeners.
If you're someone whose idea of perfect bedtime reading is "Dirr's Encyclopedia of Trees and Shrubs," you're in luck — a bumper crop of excellent reference books is on its way. The encyclopedic WEEDS OF NORTH AMERICA (University of Chicago, paper, $35; available in August), by Richard Dickinson and France Royer, is going to have pride of place on my bedside table for years to come. It covers more than 600 species from 69 plant families at every stage of growth. Royer's photographs are almost perversely alluring. They make you want to go out and plant weeds. Which, er, actually I do.
There's plenty to ponder for the philosophically minded gardener. What, exactly, is a weed? A plant out of place? An unloved flower? An intruder? (In that case, the authors advise, "phytosanitary measures" are required.) Is a weed sort of like pornography: You know it when you see it? Scoff if you like, but for their purposes Dickinson and Royer leaned on "federal, provincial and state weed legislation," about which, I admit, I was clueless. I note, however, that weeds, like deer, haven't learned that there are statutes dictating where they're not wanted. The deer in my neighborhood seem to know their weeds, and avoid them assiduously.
Many's the time I've thought I would just turn my garden over to the weeds' higher powers. I'm happy with a profusion of mints, salvia and yellow flag irises — weeds all. I've been known to encourage white clover, which makes a beautiful lawn, and admire Scotch thistle, pokeweed and common mullein. As for teasel, though Dickinson says it's "of little economic importance," I planted some for its arresting architecture — never anticipating its thuggish tendencies. Surely there must be something marketable in a tall, thin, angular and indomitable specimen?
How can you not be ensnared by a book populated by prostrate pigweed, tansy ragwort and dog-strangling vine? The giant hogweed looks like an English eccentric. I do get it: Weeds like the Russian and autumn olives crowd out the natives. But who was in the garden first? Let's not wander into that particular thicket.
Common milkweed is a concern since it hosts viruses like cucumber mosaic, strawberry mottle and tobacco streak. Yet it also plays host to monarch butterflies. Maybe we don't give weeds enough love, even if they must eventually be chased out. After all, weeds give us the chance to vent a little O.C.D. energy; it's utterly soul-satisfying to rip into them, two-fisted.
Salvias, those scofflaws of the weed police, get plenty of respect in John Whittlesey's THE PLANT LOVER'S GUIDE TO SALVIAS (Timber Press, $24.95), just one volume in a lavishly illustrated series produced in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. It has just been released here, along with Brent Horvath's THE PLANT LOVER'S GUIDE TO SEDUMS (Timber Press, $24.95) and two others.
In THE PLANT LOVER'S GUIDE TO SNOWDROPS (Timber Press, $24.95), Naomi Slade tells us that visiting snowdrop gardens has become "an essential part of the British calendar." A tiny part of my soul tends toward galanthophilia, so I applaud such priorities. Slade's book even has an entire section on "Snowdrop Theft." Because these shy charmers are often passed around, Slade's American colleague David L. Culp remarks that "after a while you can tell who someone's friends are by looking at their snowdrop collection."
We're in a dahlia craze these days, after having turned up our noses at their loud ways for a couple of decades. Must be that '90s revival in the air; these are the Spice Girls of the flower world. In THE PLANT LOVER'S GUIDE TO DAHLIAS (Timber Press, $24.95), Andy Vernon shines a spotlight on these bodacious bloomers. Vernon suggests companion plants, especially grasses, and for those wanting a quieter look, offers Dahliettas. Who knew?
It's time to let our gardens do some work for us, for a change. Kristin Green's PLANTIFUL (Timber Press, paper, $24.95) is exactly what many of us need. In spite of its rampant cuteness with section titles, this book is extremely useful. "Start small," its subtitle urges, then "grow big with 150 plants that spread, self-sow and overwinter." Here the common teasel "behaves beautifully, attracting bees." Green's Petasites japonicus rambles politely across a border, though in my beds it would be kind to characterize its growth as shambolic. It bears remembering that in the garden, as in life, what is nicely plentiful in one place might be considered invasive in another. So Green offers clear directions on plant division.
Jessica Walliser's ATTRACTING BENEFICIAL BUGS TO YOUR GARDEN (Timber Press, paper, $24.95) makes a smart case for "a natural approach to pest control." Basically, Mom was right: You catch more flies with honey. The pictures of bugs, in their sometimes hideous detail, are splendid. The praying mantid can swivel its head a full 180 degrees in both directions, and it's lovely to know that while dragonflies rest with their wings open, damselflies fold them together. New York's state insect is the nine-spotted ladybug, but it (she?) has hardly been seen here for more than 20 years. Thus begins a fascinating tale of competition between natives and introduced species; in this case, it resulted in the national Lost Ladybug Project. And, dear reader, we are reminded that "weeds do provide resources for beneficial insects." Ahem.
In THE LIVING LANDSCAPE (Timber Press, $39.95), Rick Darke and Doug Tallamy make an authoritative case for "designing for beauty and biodiversity in the home garden." Early on, Darke points out that in one of his previous books, although there were 700 pictures, only one bird and one bee were shown. That separation between plants and "nonplants" is no longer tenable in garden design, which must now focus not just on providing beauty but also on shelter, food and groundwater recharge, on gardens that are ecologically sound and conservative in using resources. Darke and Tallamy's book makes an impassioned plea, as Darke puts it, to "stop worrying about where plants come from and instead focus on how they function in today's ecology. After all, it's the only one we have."
"Live in the layers, / not on the litter," Stanley Kunitz wrote in a poem about transformation. The window over his desk looked onto his compost pile. "The Living Landscape" opens with descriptions of the layers of growth in wild landscapes, which serve as a touchstone for designing the home garden. The authors show us how to define space organically, using plants and shrubs as walls, creating gardens that are both expansive and intimate. And they remind us to respect the life beneath our feet, like eastern box turtles, whose hatchlings can live underground for extended periods before emerging into the light.
This thoughtful, intelligent book is all about connectivity, addressing a natural world in which we are the primary influence. Reading it, I was reminded of a scene I recently witnessed in a New York City park. "We don't touch nature," a mother scolded a child who had been approaching a robin. We do, of course, and nature touches us, beautifully, hauntingly, alarmingly.
One of my friends rightly swears by Darke's "The American Woodland Garden" and Tallamy's "Bringing Nature Home." I'm partial to George Schenk's "The Complete Shade Gardener," to say nothing of his beautiful "Moss Gardening." But that doesn't mean there isn't room in the glade for other woodland lovers. Amy Ziffer is a decidedly pragmatic, opinionated writer. Three cheers for her protests against English garden books repackaged for the American market with an utter disregard for our growing conditions. THE SHADY LADY'S GUIDE TO NORTHEAST SHADE GARDENING (University Press of New England, paper, $27.95) is written exclusively for those of us who live in this region of acidic soils, sultry summers, wintry mixes, twisters, hurricanes, nor'easters and, my new favorite, wind events.
The Shady Lady is bossy, as well she should be. Just tell us what to do: We need help! Don't expect your shade garden to flower for that June wedding. There's a reason shade plants tend to have light-colored flowers: They pop out in the gloaming to draw pollinators. You think shade gardening is hard? Try being a shade plant.
Most of us have way too many books about perennials on our shelves; they sprout (dare I say it?) like weeds in publishers' lists. Usually the old standbys serve best. But GARDENING WITH PERENNIALS (University of Chicago, paper, $22.50), by the British garden writer Noel Kingsbury, muscles its way in, dispensing "lessons from Chicago's Lurie Garden." It will be indispensable for Midwestern gardeners who deal with searing heat and bone-rattling cold — and not much in between.
Yes, an Englishman in Chicago. That's the twist that makes this book special: It took an out-of-towner to realize that the dazzling, gently rolling five-acre Lurie Garden in Millennium Park merited book-length attention. Created by a Dutch landscape architect, Piet Oudolf, and the American theater designer Robert Israel, the Lurie Garden, sitting on the concrete roof of a parking garage, is brimming with ideas for every home garden. And it offers, as Kingsbury puts it, "a possible resolution to the native/nonnative plant debate," with Midwest natives making up over half the species planted, encouraging residence by bugs in a familiar web of life. Mind you, birds and bees will do it anywhere. If there's nectar, Kingsbury reminds us, they don't care if a flower hails from China or Illinois.
There's nothing more pleasurable than visiting a garden that bears eloquent testimony to local styles, and the garden designer Judy Kameon is a wizard at conjuring up California in all its breezy pop and pizazz. GARDENS ARE FOR LIVING (Rizzoli, $50) made me want to head for that temperate West Coast sunshine. Plants matter most, of course — Kameon sticks to what thrives — but here they share the stage with chairs, benches, tables, screens and even outdoor beds for movie viewing.
An amphitheater in Kameon's book is particularly delightful. Built to stabilize a hillside property, it was made of tons of broken concrete collected in part from the side of the road, then creatively planted. As people across the country seem to be hauling ovens and rotisseries and even refrigerators into their gardens, there's a welcome section on outdoor cooking. Kameon's tone is warm, gracious and informative. Her love for her patch of this enormous and varied country is infectious.
No matter where you choose to cultivate your own garden, it's a time-honored tradition to reach for an icy drink at the end of a backbreaking day. At the start of that day, though, the perfect thing is a hot cup of tea and a stroll around the beds to see what made it through the night. Even better if your tea comes right out of your garden, with help from HOMEGROWN TEA (St. Martin's Griffin, paper, $23.99), by Cassie Liversidge.
I'll never again complain about paying a pretty penny for high-quality tea, now that I understand what it takes to tend one measly Camellia sinensis. Not less than 11 hours of sunlight, please! No direct heat over a prolonged time! Must have misty mornings and evenings! And I thought roses were divas. The frustrating thing about growing camellias of any sort in Northeastern gardens is that one of these days you'll take a trip to New Orleans and despair when you see them running rampant in abandoned lots. The same happens when you visit Los Angeles and spot the jade plant you're coddling back in your sunroom, here planted in hedges and hacked back with chain saws.
Liversidge moves off Chinese camellias quickly and offers dozens of options for tisanes, or herbal infusions. This is where the fun begins. What to do with all those scarlet rose hips as autumn's chill descends? Harvest them; when blended with mountain pepper, rose hip tea will be an excellent source of vitamin C through the long winter. Lemon verbena is "wonderful if you are detoxing" — though there's altogether too much worry in the air about detoxing, and I hate to encourage that sort of thinking. New Jersey can throw its own tea party with local tea, Ceanothus americanus, a small deciduous shrub. Politicians will be glad to learn that it soothes sore throats.
Drink up. After you're done with the sowing and watering, the feeding and the harvesting, the drying and the chopping, you'll be thankful that on the seventh day, while we were resting, God invented the supermarket.
There are plenty of reasons to turn your back on the world's travails, join Candide and lock the gate behind you. Voltaire himself was a gardener; it was an important pastime, he said, as it was an extraordinarily effective way to keep busy. Don't we know it! We may not live in the best of all possible worlds, but every gardener cultivates hope. And those are seeds worth planting.

open/close all folders
Season One
- Say what you like about Campbell, but his beatdown of Arthur and his rousting of the Bolsheviks show his effectiveness and what an intimidating presence he is.
- Polly showing what a stone-cold badass she is in 1.02—first, she psychs out Campbell by refusing to be intimidated by his manhandling her, instead kissing him because she knows it'll unnerve him. Second, she stands up to Tommy about Ada and confronts him about fixing races behind Billy Kimber's back, even takes a fireplace poker to threaten Tommy with when he burns Ada's letter to Freddie.
- Tommy's bonfire designed entirely to get up Campbell's nose. He even invites a reporter from the Birmingham Dispatch to paint himself as a war hero and Campbell as an invader, the resulting article going straight to Churchill, who calls out Campbell for his failure.
- Tommy's long-con on the Lees, proposing an alliance with Billy Kimber against both the Lees and Campbell's investigation.
- Ada's response to Tommy asking her who the father of her child was: "Rudolph Valentino". As Tommy himself says, no one dares to so much as look the wrong way at him, and here Ada is, sassing her extremely volatile gangster big brother.
- Ada running through Peaky Blinders territory in her wedding dress. If that isn't the biggest "fuck you" to her brothers in existence, I don't know what would be.
- Polly vs. Grace at the Garrison. The entire damned scene, starting with Polly telling Grace they all know about her and drawing her hairpin out. Grace pulls a gun on her, dispensing with the "sweet innocent barmaid" act, which doesn't faze Polly a bit, and she continues telling Grace precisely what she is, a narc, an Ulster girl who hated low people like Polly until she met Tommy. This strikes a nerve with Grace and she puts her gun down, threatens Polly with her fists—to which Polly laughs, replaces her hairpin, and tells Grace to pour them a whiskey, they're more civilized than that.Polly: But I should tell you this—I will never forgive you, or accept you, or take you in. And it's me who runs the business of the heart in this family. As far as I'm concerned, you're a snitch from the parish, and if you're not gone from this city by tomorrow, I'll kill you myself.
- The battle between the Peaky Blinders and Kimber's men isn't won by either side, but by Ada Shelby, pushing her baby carriage into "no man's land" and telling Kimber off for trying to kill her brothers and husband. It's ruined by Kimber getting a little Trigger Happy, but the fact remains that Ada fucking Shelby faced down two dozen trained gangsters bent on killing her family, and she won.
- Tommy scoring a single shot Boom, Headshot! on Billy Kimber
- And before all of that, Kimber's men have the Peaky Blinders outmanned and outgunned. So out comes Freddie Thorne, sporting the last missing machine gun to reconcile with the Shelbys and back up his brothers-in-arms. Kimber's men go from overly confident to nervous in a heartbeat.
Season Two
- The winner of the Grace Burgess vs. Campbell showdown— Grace, who shoots Campbell through her purse with the derringer he gave her, permanently injuring him and walking away without a scratch.
- The three Shelby brothers swaggering into London, walking into a club owned by notorious Italian gangsters, and causing and winning a huge melee.
- In 2.03, John very quietly and calmly tells Polly off when she refuses to let Michael go to the horse auction with the boys, reminding her that at Michael's age, he had already "killed a hundred men and seen a thousand more die".
- Tommy bypassing Campbell in the chain of command and going straight to Winston Churchill. Not only does Tommy's war record and self-sacrificing nature make Campbell look weak and petty, but Churchill and his advisors all acknowledge that Tommy's request of an international export license is a paltry reward for everything he's done.
- The Peaky Blinders' takeover of the Eden Club, lead by Arthur at his most terrifying.
- Michael and Isaiah throwing down with the racists at the Marquis, proving that badassery runs in all of the assorted Peaky Blinder families (Michael being a Shelby and Polly's son, Isaiah being Jeremiah's son).
- The Epsom Derby in 2.06 is a crowner for the entire Shelby family, but in specific:
- Tommy's plan coming together nearly perfectly: the Field Marshal and Campbell are dead, Sabini's pitches now belong to the Shelbys, and Alfie Solomons is an ally once more. Plus, Tommy escapes execution due to a double-agent in Campbell's Ulster Volunteers, and is on his way to meeting Churchill himself.
- Polly at Epsom, as she corners Campbell in a telephone booth in a crowded betting parlor, shoots him in what is strongly implied to be the genital area, and watches him die. Then caps it off by telling him not to fuck with the Peaky Blinders, and strolling out of Epsom, blood staining her immaculate white dress.
- In a strange way, Tommy writing the letter to be sent in the event of his death qualifies as this, as well as making him come across as weirdly noble.My name is Thomas Shelby, and today, I'm going to kill a man. Today is Derby Day. The murder will take place this afternoon, at the Epsom Races. It may be that I am able to escape after the killing. The odds are not good, which is why I'm writing this letter. I have been forced by agents of the Crown to carry out this murder, and in the event of my own death, I want the following facts to be known: my family is innocent of any involvement, and while some of them may be guilty of other things, I have not shared details of this mission with any of them, and no company assets were used. Agents of the Crown have joined forces with pro-treaty Fenians to arrange this murder. I believe the governments intend to blame the anti-treaty IRA. Therefore, the bullet I fire this afternoon will be the starting gun for civil war in Ireland. The man I've been instructed to kill is Field Marshal Russell, formerly a Black and Tan commander who committed many atrocities in the county of Cork. There is no remorse in my heart at the prospect of his death, however, the conspiracy behind the killing is cause for international concern. Such is the gravity of my secret mission that after I've served my purpose, I believe they intend to kill me. I therefore want to name a particular individual in this letter. The agent who has initiated and orchestrated this crime is Major Chester Campbell of the British Secret Intelligence Service. He chose me for this dirty business as an act of vengeance, prompted by hatred of longstanding. In the event of my death, it is imperative he be brought to justice. If you're reading this, then I'm dead already. I hope that living as you do in a truly free country, you'll be able to make the above facts known to the world.
Yours sincerely,
Thomas Shelby
Season Three
- Arthur's brutal fight against the Russian spy is a standout moment, and one of the very few times we question if Arthur will prevail.
- The final scene of the first episode: the four leaders of the Shelby family (Tommy, Polly, Arthur, and John) driving their gorgeous Bugatti cars back into Small Heath, returning to where it all began. They enter the tiny old betting shop, now expanded even further to include a vault. Under their coats, it turns out Tommy and Polly have been carrying the $10,000,000 that the Russians gave them, and they enter the vault to place the money atop piles and piles of the rest of the money the family has amassed.
- John and Arthur standing up to Tommy in 3.03. Tommy's gone completely off the rails in the wake of Grace's death and demanded the entire Changretta family wiped out. This includes Mrs. Changretta, who John and Arthur balk at hurting because she was their teacher. They disobey Tommy's rules and allow Mrs. Changretta to board a boat for America instead of killing her, and while they do bring Mr. Changretta to Tommy, they stop him from torturing the old man for what a deranged Tommy claims will be hours and instead Arthur shoots him in the head, giving him a quick and relatively painless death.
- John and Arthur get an earlier one when they shut Polly and Michael up by shooting 12 glass vases in order, dead-center. In the dark. Drunk.
- Linda telling Esme, Polly, and Lizzie about Jessie Eden's walk-out for oppressed female workers and the four women closing down shop to take part in the march.
- Tommy's seemingly indulgent behavior toward Tatiana showing up at his home, drinking his wine, having sex with him, stealing his weapon, threatening to shoot both him and herself, and stealing his car all served a purpose: Tommy now knows how to get into the Russians' safe house and where they'll be keeping the money they owe the Shelbys for the Boston job.
- Michael completing his second kill: stabbing Father Hughes in the throat in revenge for abusing Michael and all the other children, rescuing baby Charles and returning him safely to Tommy.
Season Four
- Polly's Batman Gambit plan to convince Luca Changretta that she's turned on Tommy, selling him out and setting him up for assassination in exchange for Michael's life. It works flawlessly, Polly tipping off Tommy by putting a black star in his diary on the day the attempt will take place, Tommy evading the assassins, and Polly hiding Michael among the Shelbys' Romany relatives in order to foil any retaliation from Luca.
- Tommy's game of Xanatos Speed Chess in the finale, where he uses Arthur's Disney Death, Mrs. Changretta's knowledge of him, his personal friendship with Alfie Solomons, business contacts in America he's been quietly developing for two years, his prior association with Winston Churchill and Special Branch, and bedding Jessie Eden in order to keep his business empire afloat, survive the Changrettas and the Mafia, and get himself elected MP.

Games make everything better
As kids, we badgered our peers and adults to play games at every possible opportunity. While kids agreed to play, adults often rebuffed us saying that "there isn't time for games when you grow up."
Decades later, caught in a seemingly endless conversation around the kitchen table, we're still always wondering why we aren't playing a game.
At Runaway Parade, we believe the urge to play never disappears and we want to create experiences that are accessible to everyone. Our first game, Fire Tower, is great for gamers because its unique strategy and play mechanics allow for the exploration of varied tactics, but it's also easy to learn, easy to set up, and gameplay is extremely intuitive.
We're striving to introduce new themes into the world of board games—scenarios that you might not have encountered before—while at the same time creating innovative game mechanics that will enhance the experience of these storylines and offer something novel to even the most seasoned gamers. Our games are designed to be both aesthetically attractive and intuitive to use, elements we believe are often under-prioritized in tabletop games. We produce a high quality product while maintaining a low price point. At Runaway Parade we believe that every detail should be crafted with care.
Who We Are
Brooklyn and Martha's Vineyard-based designers Samuel Bryant and Gwen Ruelle first met each other at Sarah Lawrence College in 2007. Gwen had spent her formative years making up games with whatever she could get her hands on—old decks of cards, pine cones, magazine cutouts—and had built a repertoire of games no one but her and a handful of others (here's looking at you, Jesse) knew how to play. During this time, Sam was researching the strategies behind Axis and Allies, collecting every Catan expansion pack he could find, and mentally calculating his lifetime win/loss ratio.
A partnership was formed.
Their first project was a multimedia online publication of arts and writing based on a theme (check out the the archives). They called it Runaway Parade. After three and a half years and 70 issues, they decided Runaway Parade the publication had run it's course, and turned their full attention to their real passion, Runaway Parade the game design company.
With extensive professional experience in storytelling and visual design, and a mutual love of board games, Sam and Gwen hope to bring something new to the table with Runaway Parade.
Special thanks to artist Kevin Ruelle for the beautiful artwork in Fire Tower, artist Hana Fruchtenicht for the amazing Runaway Parade mascot illustration, and videographer and photographer Roque Nonini for the Fire Tower photo shoot. Thank you as well to our family, friends, and colleagues who have tirelessly supported us and play-tested Fire Tower until their eyes were blurry and their hands were raw (from dealing cards and spinning the weathervane). We wouldn't have been able to do all this without you!
