Over the coming week the PC Gamer team will be counting down to their favourite game of all time. Today, we look at 75-51.
To vote for your favourite game, check out the PC Gamer Top 100 website and the magazine will reveal the results this autumn.
75 Syndicate
You're managing a death-squad in a sci-fi city, but back then it didn't seem quite so horrific. Even when you're flame-throwering enemies and civilians alike. The appeal lives on despite the shabby visuals, in the personalities and stories you develop in your head, and the essential feeling of ownership over your customised squad.
Jim says "Flat out one of the great games ever made. Even now some of the tiny violence you're able to dish out is shocking. A masterpiece."
74 Frontier: Elite II
The most playable updated version of the space sim that started it all: Elite. Any game that offers you the freedom to pursue a freelance career in a totally open world is appealing; one which gives you a spaceship, the opportunity to upgrade it and chance to be a hero or evil pirate in a whole open universe is a sure-fire winner. Yet all most people remember is whether they were ranked 'Elite' or just plain 'Dangerous'.
Craig says "This game turned me into a vampire. I blocked out the windows, barely left my room and hissed whenever anyone came close. Frontier consumed my life for a whole summer, and currently sits on my USB stick for whenever I need a nostalgic jaunt to Barnard's Star for robots."
73 Far Cry
Crytek's original still earns our love for its sense of freedom and breathtakingly beautiful scenery. Now that we've surgically removed all our memories of the Trigens and the ending, it remains one of our favourite shooters ever, if only for the opening few hours.
Ross says "I love the binocular-tagging. It encourages you to scope out an area, register where each enemy is, then work out the most fun way to take them down. My favoured method is to pepper them from afar with a gunboat, then launch myself up the beach, leap out and mop up survivors."
72 Ground Control
Bucking the trend of the time by not including base-building or resource management, GC's future war is a mix of delicious long-range artillery and sci-fi warfare.
Jim says "A wonderfully refreshing avenue of resource-free strategic combat. Ultimately unsatisfying though, even if the journey is beautiful."
71 Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
At its heart it's a platform game, but the Prince's otherworldly athleticism makes even elementary movement a joy. Rewinding time when you die? Cheating has never felt so right.
Craig says "It was like a bomb going off: after this, clunky, fiddly platformers became instantly obsolete. Why squint for pixels when you could abandon the shackles of the old Tomb Raiders and run perpendicular to the wall."
70 Uplink
A hacking sim seems such an obvious idea now, but only because Introversion went and made it. Simple in concept and execution, it played to the tiny team's strengths: hacking corporate networks and evading cyber-cops is portrayed minimally yet totally convincingly.
Ross says "Former Editor Matt was so convinced that he literally pulled the network cable out of his PC in terror just as he was about to be caught mid-hack. Now that's simulation."
69 The Secret of Monkey Island
Ah, the arguments that raged over which Monkey Island to include. But the original wins again, and it's the vibrant quality of the writing that carries the day.

If you like the itinerary below please quote REF CHINA 1567 when enquiring for further details.
Alternatively you may like modify this trip with your own Holiday Wish List
Welcome to China and the start of your holiday! Enjoy an arrival transfer to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at your leisure.
Today we explore the heart of Beijing including the vast Tiananmen Square where Chairman Mao's tomb is located. Dominating the city's heart is the Forbidden City, a centre of power for five centuries and seat of the emperors. Entering through the Gate of Heavenly Peace, we enjoy a guided walk of this old city within a city. This evening, enjoy dinner in a city restaurant.
Today we drive out of the city to Badaling, where we can walk a section of the Great Wall. Some sections are fairly steep, but the walk on the vast wall is one of those 'must do' experiences! We visit the tombs of the Ming emperors and a cloisonne workshop, where we'll see firsthand the unique Chinese art of combining copper and enamel.
We have a guided visit to the Silk Alley markets and the Summer Palace with its UNESCO-listed imperial gardens, located on Kunming Lake. later this evening you will be transferred to the station for the overnight train to Datong.
You arrive into Datong early giving you a whole day to explore the area. Take a guided sightseeing walk around the Yungang Grottoes (some of the first and grandest of Buddhist grottoes containing intricately carved buddhas of all shapes and sizes), Huayan Temple, Nine Dragon Wall and Shanua Temple. The Nine Dragon Wall is a 600-year-old Nine-Dragon Screen made up of glazed tiles, the 50-m ceramic wall depicts a fire breathing dragon.
Today you head over to the Hanging Temple and the Wood Pagoda for more sightseeing. The Hanging Temple is a sight to behold and is a structure that seriously defies gravity. Constructed on an impossibly precipitous rockface, it literally hugs the cliff.
This morning we take a transfer to the airport for the flight to Xian. Upon arrival you will be transferred to your hotel and later today, we visit the archaeological site of the Terracotta Warriors, Huanqing Hot Springs and a workshop where clay warrior replicas are made.
Today, we visit the city symbol, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, before enjoying a leisurely bike ride on Xi'an's medieval City Wall, which dates from the Ming dynasty. We then visit the local Muslim Quarter and Great Mosque.
An early start this morning as you are driven to Shaanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue and Breeding Centre in Zhouzhi County. When at the Centre you will have the opportunity to wander around and see the animals. Of course the giant pandas are what everyone wants to see but sometimes this is not possible as when they sleep they like to do this away from prying eyes. Later this evening we transfer to the airport for your flight to Guilin, upon arrival you will be transferred to your hotel.
Renown for it's striking, if bizarre scenery, vast areas of karst limestone outcrops that rise up from flat rice paddy fields, Guilin is often the subject of Chinese painting. We undertake a relaxing cruise down the River Li to Yangshuo, spending some time exploring its little shops and cafes. Back in Guilin, we visit the enormous Reed Flute Caves.
Today, we fly from Guilin to scenic Hangzhou. Hangzhou is unusual for a Chinese city in that it encompasses large tracts of greenery which might normally be classified as countryside. This is thanks to Xi Hu, the large lake that Hangzhou straddles. The lake is dotted with various islands and causeways. We visit Six Harmonies Pagoda and Chinese Tea Museum.
We explore the West Lake, Lingyin Temple and take a bicycle ride in this scenic area.
Driving through some of China most scenic landscapes, we head to Tunxi where is at the foot of our destination, Mt Huangshan. Tunxi is an ancient town with some amazing well preserved Ming and Qing buildings. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and head out to explore on your own.
This morning we enjoy a cable-car journey up the mountain to the scenic area, where you'll stay. Your guide will take you to see some of the amazing and magical scenic points of interest in the region.
Considered the most beautiful mountain in China, Yellow Mountain or Huangshan is one of a range of 72 peaks in Anhui Province. Set amidst rural landscapes and with its slopes clad in pine, the scenery is breathtaking which you will enjoy with a full days guided hike/walk.
What goes up must come down! Heading back down the mountain by cable car, we reach Tunxi once again then take to the highway for the journey to Nanjing.
Today spend the whole day in Nanjing, visiting the Yangtze River Bridge, Ming City Wall, Provincal Museum and the Presidential Mansion.
This morning we continue to Suzhou later today we enjoy a tour of ancient Suzhou, a Venetian-like town with its UNESCO-listed gardens and many waterways and bridges. Enjoy a cruise on the Grand Canal, which stretches over 1,000 miles from Beijing to Hangzhou and crosses the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. The hubbub of activity comprising boats and people both on and along the Canal offers an amazing sight.
Enroute to Shanghai we stop off at lovely Zhouzhuang - an ancient town featuring traditional buildings, small bridges and tree-lined waterways astride the Jinghang Canal. Focus your eyes on spectacular Shanghai. Perhaps China's most modern city, its amazing Pudong skyline is breathtaking. Enjoy a tour of the Bund area and a cruise on the Huangpu River.
Once known for its decadent magnetism that attracted fortune-seekers and adventurers, Shanghai looks like a European city in a Chinese setting. Enjoy a big day out in Shanghai, with a visit to the Oriental Pearl TV tower, Jade Buddha Temple, charming Yuyuan Gardens and the Old City.
Later today we transfer to the station for our over night train to Hong Kong.
Upon arrival here you will be transfered to your hotel. The remainder of the day you have at your lesiure to explore the markets and do some last minute shopping.

Does anybody know whether tomatoes on a plant are fed by all the leaves of the plant, or if it's specifically the leaves on the same stem that are feeding the tomato? And, if so, is the tomato fed by leaves both above it and below it or primarily one or the other? |
Follow-Up Postings:
All the leaves on the plant "feed" the whole plant and so all the fruit on the plant. Just as all the roots feed the whole plant. Dave |
This post was edited by digdirt on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 18:44
I like what Dave said. Leaves , I think, do not feed, the roots do. |
Thanks for the replies, assuming they are correct. I was wondering the same think as I removed some leaves near a tomoto truss and wondered if I was starving the plant. The leaves supply the energy which is converted to carbohydrates and fed into the the tomato, where they are converted into sugar when ripening. The roots supply the water and other trace elements ie Nitrogen Potassium and Plutonium ;) Well not so much Plutonium I guess more Phosphorous which is the other element on in a NPK fertiliser. There are of course other trace elements ie Calcium Iron and other bits and bobs Actually the roots do supply radioactive Polonium to plants (and make tobacco plants in particular radio active!!) when they are gown if none organic fertilisers, ie some phosphate fertilisers in particular. |
Thanks Dave. That is a good explanation for me. I was considering one leggy plant of mine that I had just plopped into a container with some other plants due to lack of space. It's lost many of it's leaves to various fungal causes but has 3 growing tomatoes on it. One is on a long naked stem with barely any leaves at all, just a little top growth. The others are on stems that fared better in terms of retaining some foliage, so I was just curious whether a tomato's location would make a difference in terms of its outcome. From what you said, I gather the answer is no. They should all turn out approximately the same based on the nutrient and health status of the plant as a whole. Seysonn, wouldn't it be the case that both roots and leaves feed the plant? Roots by taking up nutrients from the soil and leaves through photosynthesis? |
Ah... Esbo snuck in there while I was still writing and settled that last question. |
Seysonn, wouldn't it be the case that both roots and leaves feed the plant? Roots by taking up nutrients from the soil and leaves through photosynthesis? ********************* The roots, in addition to being absorber, works as pump, much like human heart., It also has storage tanks. Like in some trees, most of the food is stored in the roots over the winter and pumped back up in the spring. Leaves are like breathing organs, human nose and lung and also are like solar panels. As breathing organ they absorb oxygen, produce sugar, release carbon dioxide. Then this sugar is transported to the vasculatory system to be used by other parts of plant(flowers, fruits..) So the leaves play a vital role in plant life. True that it uses some of the nutrients and water (resources) but in return it makes a vital contribution. I would think that any new growth(including leaves) are burdensome on the plants(in short term) until they become established and become a role player. Then there is a delicate optimal balance about the roots and foliage size. Some plants have A VERY long term plans about growth. That is why given the opportunity they will work on expanding their roots and foliage and postponing any flower/fruit production. |

A certain amount of 'ordinary' potassium is radioactive... which is why they are always comparing radiation dose to eating a banana. Also, cesium 134 and 137 are taken up by plants (and humans!) and utilized like potassium. So after nuclear accidents like Fuku, some plants go through massive growth surges due to available nutrients...and then there are the mutations. Tomatoes are relatively high potassium, so are candidates for Simpson episodes should they grow in fallout zone. And there is still of cesium 137 spread around the US from the nuclear weapons testing half a century ago. So, it is in our food, like it or not. |
Tomatoes are relatively high potassium, so are candidates for Simpson episodes ****************************** But potassium is good to reduce blood pressure ... hehe |
"One is on a long naked stem with barely any leaves at all, just a little top growth." I think the main difference you may see in the three tomatoes will be sun damage on the ones that don't have at least partial shade on them. Betsy |
Transpiration, respiration and photosythesis. Google these and you will understand the big picture. |
I've decided I want to read further on the topic of how tomato nutrients move through the plant and the specific contributions of roots, leaves and fruit (i.e. I don't even know if fruit makes use of the sun at all). But - I can't come up with a good google query to find the info I'm looking for (just keep getting the basic NPK info). Anyone have a suggestion or a good online article to read? PS thank you all for your contributions so far. |
Once again, someone snuck in and answered my question before I finished writing. And thanks Seysonn for your interesting comments. |
Start with this link and (and the many similar sites) then move on to the specifics. Dave |
Here is a link that might be useful: Anatomy of Plants
Thanks Dave. Will do. -ff |
The broad topic you are researching is plant physiology. Jim |

I would think that any new growth(including leaves) are burdensome on the plants(in short term) until they become established and become a role player." I would tend to disagree with this to certain extent. Anyhow I have decided to not remove anymore green, I might remove fruits which have no chance of ripening though. I will see what happens. Also another point is, if you remove green the plant will just try and grow more!!!!!!!!!! So that is a burden anyway and it does not have the leaves to power it. But I shall see in a months time how well my idea works when the fruit should I hope be ripening!!! |
I would tend to disagree with this to certain extent. It depends, if nutrients are limited then green growth &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& @ esbo, The following is JMO> I am sure nutrients are NOT UNLIMITED. The plant has a limitation in production and delivery of the nutrients. Definitely leaves contribute to that and then take away some. It is like you hire some people to do an assembly (of something). You have to pay those people and then in return they make a contribution to the productivity, MORE than you pay them. As you keep hiring more an more people, at some point their contribution to productivity will be less than what you pay them. So actually there is some net loss. That is no wonder that they control growth by prunung in fruit trees, grape vines, flowerin shrubs , like roses, ..on and on. |
S...I love the way you use analogies...they seem to make a lot of sense to my brain! haha |
@ seysonn yes some nutrients are not unlimited, it is probably fair to say your local garden centre could supply you with far more nutrients than you would ever need or afford. It depends to an extend on where the plant is growing, if it is in a pot or grow bag there is limit to what nutrients are in the bag, however as most gardeners have a bottled of tomato feed and I have two ;O) there is no real limit. Another point is plants are far more intelligence than we think, we tend to think of vegetables as lacking brains when the fact is they are more intelligent, certainly in plant growth terms then any gardener, that would put it down to experience. Plants are not stupid they do not grow a whole load of leaves and then think "oh dear I will never be able to supply all that lot with nutrients!!" We all know this, we have first hand evidence, if you stick a plant in a small pot it will not grow to the size of a house. Yes small plants can still produce fruit. I look at it this way, after billion of years of evolution, ie trial and error. that plant has much better idea of how much green stuff it needs on it!! Seyonns analogy is of course incorrect, it is called the economies of scale, the more workers you hire the more efficient becomes because your overheads are pretty ,much the came, one personally department, one payroll dept etc. one legal dept. This is one of the reasons why companies merger, so reduce costs my sharing the overheads. Forming a price rigging monopoly is anther advantage!!!! Of course there may be other factors to consider, the plant may consider it self under attack as it thinks "why does some idiot keep coming out and chopping bits off me? I better get fruiting before he kills me altogether" Anyway to get back on topic I think the OP's question is analogous to "which part of the lung supplies oxygen to the arms?" Of course the lungs are not specific they supply the whole body. If not damage to one part of the lung might cause lose of use of arm or leg. |

jimster is right Plant Physiology will answer your question. From a common sense gardening perspective, after a lot of experimenting ( 25yrs) , If you trim non fruit producing branches from a tomato plant you will get bigger fruit . Trim to much and you'll get some sun burning and splitting ! . |
- Posted by JoeOrganicTomatoes 6A (My Page) on Sun, Aug 25, 13 at 12:03
This is the 1st year I have tried pruning non fruit producing branches and have had great success in spite of the fact that this has been a terrible year for growing tomatoes in my area. For example my German Johnson heirloom is yielding large fruit ( 1lb +). I put this plant in ground on May 2nd. It is now loaded with large size fruit that I will be able to harvest before the 1st predicted frost date of Sept 22nd. |

Christ Medical Center set to top off new pavilion, eyes OK for more expansion
BY MIKE NOLAN firstname.lastname@example.com August 24, 2012 8:42PM
Ken Lukhard, president of Advocate Christ Medical Center, speaks to staff at the ceremony to sign the beam that will top off the new outpatient pavilion. | Larry Ruehl~Sun-Times Media

Updated: September 27, 2012 11:11AM
During his 25 years at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, the Rev. Wendell Oman says he's been called upon countless times to console families coping with the illness or death of a loved one.
On Friday, with dozens of hospital employees looking on, the hospital's vice president of mission and spiritual care was called upon to say a few words of prayer over a 30-foot-long, 2,200-pound steel beam.
On Wednesday, it will be hoisted into place atop the hospital's new Outpatient Pavilion, formally "topping out" the steel skeleton of a building scheduled to be finished by the end of next year. But before that happens, employees at Christ Medical Center and Hope Children's Hospital will be grabbing markers and signing their names on the beam.
"I've prayed over a lot of different situations, but I don't think I have ever prayed over a piece of iron," Oman told more than 100 employees gathered for the ceremony.
Later, Oman said the beam has special significance for the hospital.
"It represents a turning point in our ability to serve the community," the Evergreen Park resident said.
The nine-story building on the northwest corner of 95th Street and Kilbourn Avenue is the first phase of a projected $600 million expansion at the hospital, which will also include a nine-story tower along Kostner Avenue and two new parking garages.
Oak Lawn trustees are scheduled to vote Sept. 11 on plans for that second tower, and it still needs to be approved by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board, which could act on it at its October meeting.
Currently, outpatient services are scattered throughout the main hospital building and will be centralized in the new pavilion, freeing up space to care for more acutely ill and trauma patients. There will be 14 operating suites in the new pavilion for outpatient procedures as well as space for the hospital's cancer, heart and vascular and neurosciences institutes. Advocate says the hospital sees about 1,000 outpatient customers each day.
The second tower will include an expanded emergency room as well as additional operating rooms. Increasing the size of the ER is expected to reduce the number of hours the hospital is forced to divert patients to other hospitals due to a lack of beds. Last year, the ER was closed for 1,100 hours because of capacity issues.
Christ Medical Center is the only Level 1 trauma center serving the Southland and Chicago's South Side.
At one point, in a bid to relieve capacity constraints, Advocate sought state approval for a full-scale hospital in Tinley Park at the site of its outpatient center at 183rd Street and LaGrange Road. Health facilities board officials, however, rejected the proposal.
Ken Lukhard, president of Christ Medical Center and Hope Children's Hospital, told employees Friday the beam-signing ceremony was an "amazingly exciting moment in the history of this medical campus," and the "first big step in the journey toward our vision" of boosting the hospital's capacity.
While more than 100 employees signed the beam Friday, it will be left out until Wednesday morning for others to sign, then hoisted to the top of the tower. At the rate the beam — painted white to accommodate signatures — was filling up, workers will have to flip it over so more employees can sign, said Patrick Lyons, director of construction for Advocate Health Care.
To clear room for the Kostner Avenue tower, Advocate will demolish an existing parking garage on the west side of the street, and that could begin in December or January, Lyons said. A new 1,000-vehicle parking garage will be built on the east side of Kostner, and Advocate is also under way on another parking garage that will be directly west of the Outpatient Pavilion.

We're purchasing a new townhome (Western burbs of Chicago) and one of the options that we could get are the Low Emissivity and Argon Gas-filled windows throughout the home. Of course, the salespeople were saying how it could save me in heating and AC costs, I was wondering if this was true or just some sort of marketing gimmick. I don't really understand the values and what they actually mean though. Can anyone shed any light into this and whether or not the upgrade would actually save me money by helping me keep the house warm in winter and cool in the summer? The townhome we are purchasing is an end unit with windows on the North, East and West sides of the unit.

I'm surprised they are only an option there. They are required by code in Dallas. They do work and with UV blockers they also protect your furniture and hardwoods from the bleaching effects of the sun. See link at bottom for a good, basic explanation. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Low E windoes
Thanks for the response. Is it only required in Dallas from an energy saving perspective? Since I'm in the Chicago area, it looks like, according to the article you posted, that I should get the moderate gain windows. I'd be afraid I would be trapping warm air IN the townhome which would thereby actually raise my AC costs in the summer... Mike |
- Posted by rjoh878646 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 11, 06 at 13:47
You will block more solar gain in the summer with low-E windows. I live in Columbus,ohio and switched out older double pane windows for new double pane with the low-E coating and have seen a BIG difference in summer air conditioning and winter heating costs. You don't trap warm air inside the house with low-e windows. You block the heat gain from the sun beating on the windows. Unless your house is in total shade constantly,you will benefit from low-e windows |
Low-E windows make a difference, in both heating and cooling climates. One of the first upgrades we recommend to builders when we run an analysis on their homes. |
A lot of misunderstanding about this but it does work year round. Simply put Low-e reflects heat so in the winter it will reflect the heat back into your home and in the summer it will reflect it out. Northern climates where heating is a primary you want a high solar heat gain to use the suns free energy. In southern or mostly cooling climates you want lower solar heat gains. |

Joe Lieberman Celebrates Easter by Downplaying Right Wing Terrorism
Sen. Joe Lieberman must not pay very much attention to current events, because on Meet The Press today he stressed that Islamic terrorists are a bigger threat to Americans than homegrown terrorists. Lieberman said, "I would not overstate this threat. It is not as significant as the global threat of Islamist extremism, but it is real." Oh Joe, that is so Bush era 9/11 of you to say, and dangerously inaccurate to boot.
Here is the video:
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
When asked by moderator David "Ambien" Gregory if the political atmosphere in the US is adding to the terror threat, Lieberman answered, "Well, the threat has definitely escalated. And all the conditions that you mentioned, David, are there to encourage people. Look, I would say a word of caution to my colleagues in both political parties and, frankly, in the media. The level of discourse about our politics and about our country are so extreme and so incendiary that if you're dealing with people who may, may not be clicking on all cylinders and, and may have vulnerabilities personally, there's a danger that they're going to do what this group of militia planned to do this week."
He went on to claim that Islamic terrorists are still the bigger threat, "I would not overstate this threat. It is not as significant as the global threat of Islamist extremism, but it is real. And I want to assure the American people, from where I sit as the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, that your government is taking this militia threat very seriously. The FBI is on top of this. That's why, through good work and informants, they stopped this Hutaree group before they had a chance to do what they wanted to do, which is to attack law enforcement officers, to break down authority in our country."
Lieberman said that he wasn't downplaying the threat, and then in his very next breath, he proceeded to downplay the threat. In case Lieberman has not been paying attention, here are three recent examples of domestic terrorist attacks, the Holocaust Museum shooting, the Ft. Hood shootings, and the IRS building suicide crash. These are just the three highest profile recent incidents, and two of the three were associated with the right wing.
While Islamic terrorist attacks are always going to be a threat, Lieberman's thinking is outdated. The United States government needs to focusing resources on terrorism prevention from all sources both foreign and domestic. They should not be prioritizing one source over another. No matter what a terrorist's origins or motivations, the death and destruction from a successful attack is the same. Lieberman needs to realize that the environment has changed, and his political fear mongering is worse than outdated, it is dangerous to national security.

If this douche bag could, he would probably round up all the Muslims in the U.S. and put them in interment camps!
This information is worth everyone's attention. Where can I find out more?

Stuck in winter's chilly rut? Pick up a bottle of Maine Root's Blueberry Soda for an advance taste of summer. Handcrafted in Scarborough, Maine, and made by brothers Mark and Matthew Seiler, this purple soda is the perfect substitute for those roadside blueberry stands we're missing right now. The smell of fresh blueberry jam and freesias abound, while flavors of blueberry syrup intermingle with a spike of bright acidity and a pure, fresh-picked blueberry finish. Maine Root makes other lip-smacking flavors, like Lemon Lime, Ginger Brew and Mandarin Orange. And not only do these sodas taste good, but they're also good for the environment—all of the sodas are sweetened with organic, evaporated cane juice and all local deliveries are made in a bio-diesel VW Jetta, converted to run on recycled cooking oil by brother Matt. They're also fair-trade-certified. These summer-ripe sodas are available year-round at Whole Foods and other natural food grocers, or can be purchased online at maineroot.com. If buying from their website, add "Plant a tree for ME!" to your shopping cart, and for $5 the brothers will plant a sapling for you in the Pine Tree State.

We just got word that in honor of Fat Tuesday, the folks at Obsello are celeberating the launch of their absinthe in NOLA with a party at Bustout Burlesque, and they're offering two free VIP tickets to a lucky Imbibe reader. If you happen to be in New Orleans this week, this will be a great time. In addition to the entertaining '50s-style burlesque show, there will be traditionally prepared absinthe as well as Death in the Afternoon cocktails. All you have to do to make yourself eligible to win is email us your contact information (you must be at least 21 years old to qualify) by tomorrow (Wednesday, February 25) at 11:59 pm Pacific Time, and we'll randomly select a winner on Thursday to receive the two tickets.

OBSELLO ABSINTHE Presents

Saturday, February 28
Two Shows: 8 p.m. & 10:30 p.m.
Good luck!
Mardi Gras Imbibing
Today is Fat Tuesday in New Orleans, and rather than drinking cocktails of the Hurricane variety, we suggest putting the spirits in your home bar to better use. Whether or not you're in the Big Easy celebrating, a nod to Mardi Gras provides the perfect excuse for a cocktail, especially a New Orleans classic, like a Ramos Gin Fizz or a Sazerac. Of course, it's also Carnaval time in Brazil, so if cachaça is more your speed, then mix yourself a Brazilian Wax cocktail (we promise the drink is better than the name). There are lots of other great recipes to check out on our new website—just search for your spirits of choice to find what you're looking for. Cheers!

Drink of the Week: Whiskey Sour
Today's drink of the week goes out to retailer extraordinaire LeNell Smothers, who lost the lease on her much-beloved spirits shop in Brooklyn and now leaves many thirsty and depressed Brooklynites behind. LeNell has always been a good friend to Imbibe, and since we launched, we've been a huge fan of hers. As anyone who has met her knows, she's a firecracker in the best sense—funny, raunchy and wickedly smart when it comes to spirits and cocktails. So we thought a Whiskey Sour in her name was perfectly fitting—a little sweet, and little sour and a little spice. We hope to see LeNell back up and running in a different Brooklyn location soon, and she assures everyone that she's on the hunt. In the meantime, we're excited to hear that she'll be taking time off to cross the pond for some imbibing in London and Amsterdam. We just have one question for her: Who gets the peeing cherub? Cheers, LeNell!
Whiskey Sour
2 oz. rye whiskey
1 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: sour or old fashioned
Garnish: cherry and lemon slice
Combine ingredients in a shaker, shake, strain into ice-filled glass and garnish.

February's Where to Drink Now: Brookvin
Fans of Park Slope's Big Nose Full Body wine shop have a new reason to toast—owner Aaron Hans just opened an accompanying wine bar, Brookvin, across the street. Exposed brick walls and a gilded tin ceiling create a cozy vibe in the intimate space, while by-the-glass offerings—usually 20 wines in the $7–$12 range—make it easy to grab a seat and hang out for a while. If a bottle is more your style, check in with manager Brian Mitchell for recommendations, whose bottle list (including a wide array of half-bottles) is growing by the day with hard-to-find selections from around the world. And don't leave without trying chef Dave Townsend's mouth-watering charcuterie plate—his homemade sausages and salumis, crafted with meat sourced from a small Pennsylvania farm, are perfect with a glass of red, white or bubbly. 381 7th Ave., Brooklyn; 718-768-9463; brookvin.com

Drink of the Week: Nino Franco Prosecco Rustico
This Valentine's Day we're crushing on Nino Franco's NV Prosecco Rustico. Fruity aromas of green apple and fresh peaches lead to full-bodied flavors of Granny Smith apples, stone fruits and minerals that dance delicately on the palate and soften into a creamy finish of toasted almonds. Produced in northern Italy's Veneto region, Rustico is best enjoyed in a white wine glass alongside an antipasto platter of salumi, green olives and marinated mushrooms, or with warm brie baked with apples and almonds. With so much subtlety and sophistication, this handsome bubbly could easily be a heartbreaker, but at about $14 a bottle, it's a perfect catch.

Drink of the Week: Pisco Sour
If you think you don't have a reason to celebrate this weekend, here's something to drink to: Saturday is National Pisco Sour Day in Peru. While the origin of pisco is debated among Peruvian and Chilean cocktail connoisseurs, the Pisco Sour has undoubtedly become the iconic cocktail of Peru, and tangy citrus, full-bodied pisco and creamy egg white foam make this a cocktail well worth a national day of celebration in any country. For more on pisco and the drink culture Peru, check out "On the Pisco Trail" in the July/August 07 issue of Imbibe.
Picsco Sour
3 oz. pisco
3/4 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
1 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 egg white
Ice cubes
Tools: shaker, strainer

Garnish: 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Combine all ingredients, except bitters, in a shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into glass and garnish with two dashes of bitters on top.

Final report (PDF)As well as forming part of the JISC Design for Learning programme, the project is a direct descendant of the Learning Design Tools project and other predecessor projects in the E-learning and Pedagogy programme. It will build on the field-based research carried out by LD Tools, together with materials created by other projects and content from the Effective Practice workshops, in order to create a flexible online planning tool that will enable teaching staff and learning technologists to develop their confidence and skills in designing effective technology-mediated learning experiences. Within the current programme, the project will complement the parallel User-Oriented Planner for Learning Analysis and Design project and draw further input from the models of practice produced by the Mod4L project. It will additionally collaborate with the Support project to facilitate users' access to the exemplars and learning designs hosted by that project.
The aim of the project is to guide practitioners working in post-compulsory learning (FE, HE and ACL) in designing effective and pedagogically sound learning activities. To realise this aim, the project team proposes to:
The pedagogic planner tool will be designed, developed and implemented in the following broad stages:

Theres treasure hidden around Winona, lots of it actually, you just have to know where to look.
Far from pirates gold, this treasure is more likely in the form of Happy Meal toys, patches from around the world or just the simple satisfaction that you found something someone else hid.
Geocaching is a treasure hunting game that has exploded with global popularity, and Winonans will have a chance to try their hand at it Saturday during a free event scheduled for 11:30 a.m. at the Lake Winona Pavilion behind Community Memorial Hospital.
The event will include an overview of geocaching and demonstrations, as well as a potluck lunch for those who attend.
To hunt for geocaches, said hobbiest Brian Swartling, one needs only a hand-held GPS device and a trinket to replace the one they take should they find the bounty. But Saturday, said Swartling, people dont even need their own GPS unit, as experienced geocachers will be on hand with GPS equipment to share.
Begun as a measure for testing emerging global positioning technology, geocaching evolved into a game after people realized hunting for an item based on coordinates was both challenging and fun.
Today game players use everything from cell phones to fishing devices with GPS capability to find some of the 662,000 geocaches hidden around the world.
Geocaching.com is the international repository for information on the whereabouts of those geocaches, with interactive logs that allow participants to report locations where geocaches are found, the items approximate size and the degree of difficulty treasure hunters may encounter to find it.
According to Swartling, geocaches can be anything from tiny monocaches a half-inch long by a half-inch wide to totes like those in the back of a pickup truck.
Every now and then, said Swartling, stories surface of valuable prizes hidden inside, such as a $100 bill or a gift card to Kwik Trip. But in general, he said, prizes are trinkets of little value except as a keepsake for the adventure. The monocaches are so tiny they only hold a slip of paper that finders log their initials and the date they found it on. Some of those monocaches are magnetic, making lamp posts, fences and locations even on busy streets a possible hiding spot for the item.
Many of the geocaches around town are the size of medium Tupperware or ammunition containers, Swartling said, with a variety of items inside. The rule of thumb for geocaching is take something and leave something of equal value, with players using the honor system to keep the game fun for everyone.
Through geocaching Websites, players can purchase special items like geocoins that travel around the world as players take them and leave them. Through a serial number on the coin one can trace its route on the geocaching.com Website. Swartling, who started geocaching with his children to encourage them off the couch, said they found one coin that had traveled 74,000 miles.
Even using a GPS device, geocaching can be difficult, as the technology is only accurate to about an 18 radius, Swartling said. The rest of the search is real treasure hunting depending on how well the item is hidden.
Swartling said there are about 50 geocaches hidden in the vicinity of Winona and Goodview, and he and his kids know where they all are. In fact, Swartling placed a number of them himself to keep the game alive. Aside from his family, Swartling knows of about a dozen other active geocachers in town, and once in a while they all get together for some coffee and chatter.
Because of the high number of geocaches in the area, Swartling said Winona receives many visitors from the Twin Cities who are out on geocaching excursions. Those geocachers log their adventures on geocaching.com too, including what was inside and whether items are missing from the posted location.
Like visitors from the Twin Cities, Swartling and his family use geocaching.com to do a little treasure hunting nearly everywhere they go by looking up geocaches along the route.
Its a fun game, he said, full of fresh air and excitement good even for his three-year-old.
Swartling said the game comes with only one warning: It can be addicting. I started it to get my kids out of the house, he said. Now they get mad if they find out I went and found a geocache without them.

In "Gather the Spirit," a Tapestry of Faith program
IN TODAY'S WORKSHOP... We talked about how sanitation protects the water people drink, and learned that in many places, a simple lack of toilets reduces the supply of clean, fresh water. We talked about conserving the water we use. When we conserve water, we honor our place in an interconnected web of life. And, we use less electricity and gasoline, which leaves more resources for all life to share.
We played Turdlywinks, aiming to deposit a disk in the toilet or risk contaminating the water. The game taught us facts about sanitation and why communities need a clean way to dispose of human waste in order to preserve their clean water. We imagined not having direct access to clean water. Concepts in this workshop relate to the Unitarian Universalist Principles of the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equity and compassion in human relationships; and, the interdependent web of existence.
EXPLORE THE TOPIC TOGETHER. Talk about... the resources needed to bring you fresh, clean water for drinking, washing and cooking. Some are gasoline to fuel pumping stations and sewage plants, construction equipment to build water and sewage pipelines, and workers to design, build and maintain all this infrastructure. Can you think of other ways your water supply uses more resources besides water?
Even if water is abundant in your area, talk about how you can help share water across the interdependent web if you do conserve. How can conservation be a way of sharing?
EXTEND THE TOPIC TOGETHER. Try...
Find out where the water and waste go after you flush your toilet. See if your town or city water department has a printed or electronic map you can see of the pipes that carry water and sewage in your neighborhood. You might like to tour the route your used toilet water travels to a sewage treatment plant. Where does it go from there?
Even if water is abundant in your community, conserving water at home can help free up a variety of clean water- and sanitation-related resources such as gasoline, water transportation infrastructure and sanitation equipment to be shared more equitably with communities elsewhere in the world. Talk about ways you can conserve; find ideas on the Green Venture website. If you can, measure your water use before and after starting the conservation. Then, talk about how the resources you've saved can help bring clean water and sanitation to people who need it in a community far away.
Thanks for water. Saying grace at mealtime is a common spiritual practice. If you give thanks for your food before you eat, do you also give thanks for water? If the group leader has set up a Gather the Spirit blog, post the water blessing your family uses.
Monitoring your family's water use. If your home has its own water meter, check it this weekend and again a week later. How much water does your family use in one week? If you live in a multifamily building without separate water meters, the building owner can probably tell you how much water the building uses in a week. The following week, make a special effort to reduce your water use by cutting down on showers, flushing only solid waste and taking care to shut water faucets off when not in use. Check your meter again.
Does your water come from a well? A nearby lake? Or a human-made reservoir far away from your home? Call your local water authority to find out where your water comes from. Try to trace it back all the way to its natural source.
If you purchase Water: An Environmental Quiz Deck of Knowledge Cards (Pomegranate Communications, Inc.), a portion of your money goes to the Sierra Club. You can play the electronic version of Turdlywinks on the WaterAid U.K. website.
If your group leader has set up a Gather the Spirit blog, log in and see what other participants are doing and post your own results.

Advocate In Action: LeRoy Graham, M.D.
If LeRoy Graham, M.D.'s greatest achievements were strictly professional, they would be quite impressive, given his reputation as an outstanding pediatric pulmonologist, his medical school faculty appointments, leadership within medical organizations and even testimony before Congress.
But harnessing the power of volunteers to impact entire communities and improve individual lives? That achievement might be in a different league all together. But for this unassuming physician, his volunteer efforts are not extraordinary. "My drive is simply the Biblical imperative 'To Whom Much is Given, Much is Expected,' and I have been very blessed throughout my life," he says.
When he founded Not One More Life, Inc. in Atlanta in 2003, Dr. Graham was focused on finding a way to reduce the negative impact of asthma, particularly among African Americans. Today, his corps of 20-30 volunteers and a small administrative staff have not only screened more than 5,000 people for asthma, but the organization's model now is being replicated in six cities around the country.
Not One More Life, Inc. is a volunteer advocacy organization consisting of doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other health educators who work together in faith-based communities to help reduce the negative impact of asthma. Volunteers and partners believe that by working with health ministries within communities of faith, they can empower the African-American community through education to control asthma. African Americans have one of the highest rates of asthma compared to other racial/ethnic groups—35 percent higher than the rate among Caucasians, for example. Rates may be higher given undiagnosed or under-diagnosed cases.
Approaching individuals through their faith communities establishes a relationship between the program participants and the medical volunteers based in the foundation of trust, which Dr. Graham credits for the success of the programs that launched about five years ago.
Each of the free programs begins with an education session about respiratory disease—primarily about asthma as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), followed by individual screening. All participants are screened by a symptom questionnaire and spirometry. A pulmonologist reviews the results, and each individual then meets with a counselor. The goal is for each individual attending the program to gain the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their health.
"Almost consistently, in all of our programs, about 50 percent of people have some abnormal function or symptoms," Dr. Graham said. "We develop a report after each counseling session, to go back to the person's primary care physician if they have one. If there's no primary care physician, we try to get them into a pro bono network of doctors or refer them to a free clinic. This has been invaluable to get people into a medical home."
According to Dr. Graham, approximately 90 percent of people recommended for follow up after the free sessions have seen a physician for a respiratory-focused visit. "The impact has really been impressive!" he said.
Dr. Graham is working to expand Not One More Life to other cities and to extend the organization's work within Atlanta. "Our goal over the next five years is to have groups actively replicating our model in the top 30 metropolitan service areas in the U.S.," he said. The program is already expanding to: Bay Shore, N.Y.; Detroit and Flint, Mich.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; St. Louis, Mo. and Norfolk, Va. "We also hope to have our clinic operating every Saturday in Atlanta."
Not One More Life is not the only project to which Dr. Graham volunteers his time. He is a long-time spokesperson, Board member and advocate for the American Lung Association in Georgia, working on asthma and air quality issues and having served as medical director of Camp Breathe Easy (asthma camp) for several years. Dr. Graham serves on several non-profit and professional organizations' Boards as well. His commitment to the community is well recognized. Dr. Graham was named Child Advocate of the Year in 2003 by the Fragile Kids Foundation and in 2004 received the prestigious David Satcher Award presented by the CDC and Directors of Health Promotion and Education. He received the national award, named for the former Surgeon General, for his leadership in reducing health disparities by improving community-based health promotion.

Convertible owners are used to mussed-up hair. But the Mercedes CLK63 AMG takes follicular assault to a new level thanks to one of the most powerful, naturally aspirated V-8 engines in a production automobile.
As a horsepower war rages among luxury carmakers, the mad scientists of AMG—Mercedes's exclusive high-performance division—have responded to BMW's provocations with a monster of their own: A hand-built 6.3-liter masterpiece of silicon-aluminum alloy with 475 horsepower and a shocking 465 pound-feet of torque. That's over a hundred horsepower more than the outgoing CLK55 model, all the more impressive in that it's now accomplished sans supercharger. (Mercedes is rolling the engine out in several limited-production AMG models, including the CLS63 sedan, which generates 507 horsepower.)
With that secret weapon under its deceptively demure hood, this cabriolet explodes to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds and surges with ridiculous ease to its electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. The engine's sophisticated dance partner is a seven-speed automatic transmission, its manual mode operated via aluminum paddles on the steering wheel. Along the way, the AMG sport exhaust emits a surprisingly robust note, best enjoyed with the top down. Massive brakes, including front discs with six-piston calipers, keep the autobahn speeds in check. On the safety front, roll bars pop automatically from the rear deck if the Benz senses an impending rollover. And while so many luxury convertibles are strictly for two, the CLK63 retains its family-friendly four-seat layout with enough space for cargo or clubs. Performance aside, that may be the best talking point for getting one onto your driveway: See, honey, a practical car.
Base Price: $87,975
Engine: 6.3-liter V-8
Horsepower: 475
Torque: 465 pound-feet
Weight: 3,960 pounds

OK, they lost to St. Louis in the seventh game of the National League championship series in October, but for the rest of the season it was a sweet ride for Mets fans in 2006.
Not only did the home team have a winning year with a 97 65 record, but construction also began on its new home, which that will be ready for the 2009 season.
With stronger bats and pitching, the Mets started out victorious and remained in first place in their division throughout the entire season. Strong relief pitching by Billy Wagner and the acquisition of pitcher Orlando Hernandez helped spark the team to earn a place in the championship series. Unfortunately, both Hernandez and pitcher Pedro Martinez missed post season play due to injuries.
Fans were given a lot to cheer about this year. Who can forget Endy Chavez's heroic catch in Game 7 against the Cardinals and catcher Paul Lo Duca's tagging out two Dodgers at home plate in the same play during Game 1 of the division championship.
In March, the Mets released drawings of what their new stadium will look like. With a tip of the hat to the old Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, the design will include a brick, limestone and concrete facade. The $600 million stadium will feature a seven level, open air facility with seats for 44,100 fans. There will be 10,000 fewer seats than at Shea, but they will be larger and provide better views.
A month later, in April, the Queens delegation to the City Council demanded perks from the Mets organization before approving the project. Eventually, the owners promised a certain percentage of construction jobs would be awarded to residents and area businesses and more youth outreach programs.
In addition, the Mets organization will pay for infrastructure improvements around the stadium including new lighting, street enhancements, repaving roads and improving bridges.
"This is about the Mets being good corporate neighbors," said Councilman Hiram Monserrate of Corona, who led the pressure campaign on the team.
Although the team is paying for the new stadium, the city and state are contributing $90 million and $75 million, respectively, for other improvements. The new facility will be located next to Shea, closest to 126th Street. Shea will be demolished for parking when the new stadium is completed.
The official groudbreaking was held in November and brought out the mayor as well as Gov. George Pataki. Mets owner Fred Wilpon announced the stadium would be called Citi Field, after Citigroup won naming rights, providing the team $20 million a year for the honor.
Popular third baseman David Wright attended and said he was excited about playing in the new stadium. "There are a lot of memories at Shea, but to have a new field is a thrill," he said.

This Just In! UPDATED
The NFLPA/Players Inc. lawsuit has just been leaked as settled for approximately $26 million! Read more on ESPN (click HERE).
(Oh – and what was that about your Grandmother, Jeffrey Kessler?!! Read his quote way back HERE.)
Today, Herb Adderley was in a press conference confirming that the lawsuit was finally officially settled between the retired players and the NFLPA/Players Inc. for $26.25 million of the $28.1 million awarded from the trial in November 2008. It indicates that the NFLPA may have realized the high risk involved in pursuing an appeal. It may also have been a sign of a new direction in the NFLPA leadership as well as a clear denunciation of Jeffrey Kessler's years of a combative style of litigation.
The retired players have been solidly proven to be right in their stand and while their Union – the NFLPA leadership – was clearly proven wrong in what they did in misrepresenting and defrauding them. Bernie Parrish's years of tireless work in leading to this conclusion is finally vindicated.

Susan Bradley is a title designer, graphic artist, and art+motion graphics director in feature film. Bradley has had the priviledge of working alongside an incredible list of film directors, editors and artisans in both live action and animation. Her background ranges from traditional optical animation & type design to motion graphics and 2nd unit art direction.
Her passion of film titles was recognized at the American Film Institute (AFI), where she taught "Theory and Practice of Film Title Design" to its Digital Media fellows for three years. At AFI Susan created and moderated the Harold Lloyd Masters Seminar, "From "The Seven Year Itch" to 'Seven': 50 Years of Film Titling and Design." Bradley was Manager of Walt Disney Studios' Title Graphics Department for six years, bringing computers to the Department in 1994.
As Disney's lead title designer, she produced a vast array of title sequences and graphic design on films such as Toy Story 2, The Big Kahuna, A Bug's Life, Runaway Bride, Romy & Michele's High School Reunion, Toy Story, The Lion King, Quiz Show, and numerous others*. Since leaving Disney Studios, Bradley has gone on to design titles and graphics for many live action films, including Gossip, Out of Time, Walter Salles' The Motorcycle Diaries and Dark Water, Pierce Brosnan's The Matador, CBS' first season of Numb3rs & Davis Guggenheim's An Inconvenient Truth. She reunited with Pixar Animation Studios in 2005 to work on their feature film productions, and left the company to freelance in 2014.
With her film communities in LA and the Bay Area, Bradley is directing a non-fiction film encapsulating the wonderland of title design, lettering and early opticals through the work of her mentor and hero, Harold Adler. Adler was Saul Bass' lettering and production artist for most of Bass' film career, not to mention being a magnificent personality and timecapsule of art, process and craft in our little-known genre of film production.

For many CEOs, the dollar's rise can be a decidedly mixed blessing. And a bullish dollar can test the mettle of even the shrewdest business tactician. It's possible, with quick action, however, to take advantage of the dollar's rise or at least buffet companies against it. But the temptation to do so can also backlash fiercely.

In "Building Bridges," a Tapestry of Faith program
Youth watch a video about and discuss cliques.
Tell the group that in 2010, MTV ran a series called If You Really Knew Me. Twelve high schools were filmed as they participated in Challenge Day, a program designed to break down barriers between cliques in high school.
Show the episode you chose.
Engage the youth in discussion by posing these questions:
Say that though cliques are not the same as cults, there are some similarities. Refer the youth to Handout 1, What Makes a Cult? Discuss these points:
Ask the youth if they can identify any of these behaviors from the episode of If You Really Knew Me.
Note that while these points sound destructive, the reality is that some of these points can be made about most groups, just to a greater or lesser degree. What groups do participants belong to that manage to avoid the above behaviors? How do the groups behave instead? What groups exhibit some of these behaviors but use them in a more positive way?
If any participants have hearing impairments, arrange for closed-captioning or use the subtitles feature when showing the episode of If You Really Knew Me.
For more information contact email@example.com.

I am a new veggie gardener, this is my first year with anything other than tomatos and peppers.
I didn't know about good vs. bad companions until I started to read this forum. I have some pole beans next to a row of tommatos. Do I need to pull them out. I'll sacrafice them if it means that my tomatos may be hurt by them being there. Or can I make up for what ever they do to each other by extra feeding? Some of the post say pole beans are bad, bush beans are good. Why the differance? |

How far apart are the plantings? |
about 30 inches |
Bumping this to the top. Hoping to get an answere. Any info. is appriciated. |
I'm new at vegetable gardening, too, but can tell you that I have tomato plants growing right next to pole lima beans and haven't noticed any deleterious affect on the tomatoes at all. Everything I have is growing in large pots, and in several places the pole beans are even growing on the same frames as the tomatoes (they are all spreading more than I anticipated). I've got tomato bushes loaded with tomatoes, just starting to ripen, and the bean vines are also loaded with flowers and baby beans. Also, I've noticed very few bugs of any kind (except pollinators) on either the tomatoes or the beans. I did, however, also plant carrots in the same pots with the beans because I read that carrots would repel bean bugs. What's supposed to be the problem with having tomatoes and pole beans next to each other? |

I thought we answered this one already? What happened to the thread on this? Did it just disappear? |
Greengodess When I didn't get any answer on this forum I posted a link to this thread on the vegitable forum. You were kind enough to post an answer over there. Although no one has given me any reason why the tomatos and pole beans would not work together. I did see it refered to negativly on a few threads over here, which is what prompted the question. |

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for me, chica. I thought I was going a little loony for a minute! LOLOL!!!! |

Feed Ureum
URÉE "SR" is used as a source of Non-Protein-Nitrogen in animal feed for ruminants. It is a technical pure product containing 46% N and is especially treated to prolong the shelf-life of the product.
UREA 40 NR is a microencapsulated urea that gives a slow release of urea in the rumen for optimal availability of nitrogen for the protein producing micro-organisms.
