Open world
An open world is a type of video game level design where a player can roam freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in choosing how or when to approach objectives.[1] The term free roam is also used, as is sandbox and free-roaming.[2][3] "Open world" and "free-roaming" suggest the absence of artificial barriers,[4] in contrast to the invisible walls and loading screens that are common in linear level designs. Generally open world games still enforce many restrictions in the game environment, either because of absolute technical limitations or in-game limitations (such as locked areas) imposed by a game's linearity.
Gameplay and design[edit]
An open world is a level or game designed as a nonlinear, open areas with many ways to reach an objective.[5] Some games are designed with both traditional and open world levels.[6] An open world facilitates greater exploration than a series of smaller levels,[4] or a level with more linear challenges.[7] Reviewers have judged the quality of an open world based on whether there are interesting ways for the player to interact with the broader level when they ignore their main objective.[7] Some games actually use real settings to model an open world, such as New York City.[8]
A major design challenge is to balance the freedom of an open world with the structure of a dramatic storyline.[9] Since players may perform actions that the game designer did not expect,[10] the game's writers must find creative ways to impose a storyline on the player without interfering with their freedom.[11] As such, games with open worlds will sometimes break the game's story into a series of missions, or have a much simpler storyline altogether.[12] Other games instead offer side-missions to the player that do not disrupt the main storyline.[13] Most open world games make the character a blank slate that players can project their own thoughts onto, although several games such as Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole offer more character development and dialogue.[4] Writing in 2005, David Braben described the narrative structure of current videogames as "little different to the stories of those Harold Lloyd films of the 1920s", and considered genuinely open-ended stories to be the "Holy Grail we are looking for in fifth generation gaming".[14]
Games with open worlds typically give players infinite lives or continues, although games like Blaster Master force the player to start from the beginning should they die too many times.[4] There is also a risk that players may get lost as they explore an open world; thus designers sometimes try to break the open world into manageable sections.[15]
For a game to be considered "Open world" it must contain one or more of these key features: Exploration, side quests and/or open areas. Examples are: Minecraft and Legend of Zelda.
Procedural generation and emergence[edit]
Procedural generation refers to content generated algorithmically rather than manually, and is often used to generate game levels and other content. While procedural generation does not guarantee that a game or sequence of levels are nonlinear, it is an important factor in reducing game development time, and opens up avenues making it possible to generate larger and more or less unique seamless game worlds on the fly and using fewer resources. This kind of procedural generation is also called "worldbuilding", in which general rules are used to construct a believable world.
Most 4X and roguelike games make use of procedural generation to some extent to generate game levels. SpeedTree is an example of a developer-oriented tool used in the development of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and aimed at speeding up the level design process. Procedural generation also made it possible for the developers of Elite, David Braben and Ian Bell, to fit the entire game—including thousands of planets, dozens of trade commodities, multiple ship types and a plausible economic system—into less than 22 kilobytes of memory.[16]
"You need great simulational technology. (...) [Simulated worlds] have more power than scripted worlds because they allow people to play around in that world. (...) [Good world simulations] allow people to discover things ... to push the boundaries of worlds."
Emergence refers to complex situations in a video game that emerge (either expectedly or unexpectedly) from the interaction of relatively simple game mechanics.[18] According to Peter Molyneux, emergent gameplay appears wherever a game has a good simulation system that allows players to play in the world and have it respond realistically to their actions. It is what made SimCity and The Sims compelling to players. Similarly, being able to freely interact with the city's inhabitants in Grand Theft Auto added an extra dimension to the series.[17][dead link]
In recent years game designers have attempted to encourage emergent play by providing players with tools to expand games through their own actions. Examples include in-game web browsers in EVE Online and The Matrix Online; XML integration tools and programming languages in Second Life; shifting exchange rates in Entropia Universe; and the complex object-and-grammar system used to solve puzzles in Scribblenauts. Other examples of emergence include interactions between physics and artificial intelligence. One challenge that remains to be solved, however, is how to tell a compelling story using only emergent technology.[17]
In an op-ed piece for BBC News, David Braben, co-creator of Elite, called truly open-ended game design "The Holy Grail" of modern video gaming, citing games like Elite and the Grand Theft Auto series as early steps in that direction.[14] Peter Molyneux has also stated that he believes emergence (or emergent gameplay) is where video game development is headed in the future. He has attempted to implement open-world gameplay to a great extent in some of his games, particularly Black & White and Fable.[17]
"I think [The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall is] one of those games that people can 'project' themselves on. It does so many things and allows [for] so many play styles that people can easily imagine what type of person they'd like to be in game."
Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness, developed by Richard Garriot at Origin Systems, and released in 1981, is perhaps the first true open-world computer game. The third game in the same series, Ultima III: Exodus, further expanded on the open-world concepts of the original, and introduced other modes of transportation, such as horses and boats, which could be considered early examples of sandbox game-play.
The space simulator Elite is often credited with pioneering the open world game concept in 1984.[1][20][21][22] There were several early games that offered players the ability to explore an open world while driving a variety of ground vehicles. New York City (1984), Miami Vice and later APB (1987) expanded this format, while Turbo Esprit (1986) provided a rear-view 3D free-roaming city environment, and has been cited as a major influence on Grand Theft Auto.[23] Hunter (1991) has been described as the first sandbox game to feature full 3D, third-person graphics.[24]
Released in Japan in 1986, the first Legend of Zelda is considered an early example of open world. With nonlinear gameplay, it set the foundations for later action-adventure games like Metroid and role-playing video games like Final Fantasy, while influencing most modern games in general.[25][26] Wasteland, released in 1988 by Interplay Productions, is another important pioneer in open-world game-play. The game features a large open world, where the player's actions have a permanent and persistent effect, keeping areas in the state that the player leaves them in. It had a non-linear game-play, where the player could explore much of the world from the beginning, and tackle quests and missions in any order, with the quests often having multiple possible solutions. The player also has the ability to interact with the world in other ways, using tools like ropes and shovels, to progress; an early example of true sand-box style game-play.
Sierra On-Line's 1992 adventure game King's Quest VI has an open world. Almost half of the quests are optional, many have multiple solutions, and players can solve most in any order.[27] Maps in Quarantine (1994) featured many locations where missions could be picked up and also popularized the drive-by shooting tactic by using the Uzi to shoot out from the side windows. Nintendo's Super Mario 64 (1996) was considered revolutionary for its 3D open-ended free-roaming worlds, which had rarely been seen in 3D games before, along with its analog stick controls and camera control.[28] Other early 3D examples include the Legend of Zelda games Ocarina of Time (1998) and Majora's Mask (2000),[4] the DMA Design (Rockstar North) game Body Harvest (1998), the Angel Studios (Rockstar San Diego) games Midtown Madness (1999) and Midnight Club: Street Racing (2000), the Reflections Interactive (Ubisoft Reflections) game Driver (1999),[29] and the Rareware games Banjo-Kazooie (1998), Donkey Kong 64 (1999), and Banjo-Tooie (2000).
21st century[edit]
Sega's ambitious adventure game Shenmue (1999) was a major step forward for 3D open-world gameplay, and considered the originator of the "open city" subgenre,[30] touted as a "FREE" ("Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment") game offering an unparalleled level of player freedom, giving them full rein to explore an expansive sandbox city with its own day-night cycles, changing weather, and fully voiced non-player characters going about their daily routines. The game's large interactive environments, wealth of options, level of detail and the scope of its urban sandbox exploration has been compared to later sandbox games like Grand Theft Auto III and its sequels, Sega's own Yakuza series, Fallout 3, and Deadly Premonition.[31][32][33][34] S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl was developed by GSC Game World in 2007, followed by two other games, a prequel and a sequel. The free world style of the zone was divided into huge maps, like sectors, and the player can go from one sector to another, depending on required quests or just by choice.
The series that had the greatest cultural impact was Grand Theft Auto, with over 125 million sales.[35] Grand Theft Auto III combined elements from previous games, and fused them together into a new immersive 3D experience that helped define open-world gaming for a new generation. For instance, radio stations had been implemented earlier in games such as Sega's Out Run (1986)[36] and Maxis' SimCopter (1996), the ability to beat or kill non-player characters date back to titles such as Portopia (1983),[37] Hydlide II (1985)[38] Final Fantasy Adventure (1991),[39] and various light gun shooters,[40] and the way in which players run over pedestrians and get chased by police has been compared to Pac-Man (1980).[41] After the release of Grand Theft Auto III, many games which employed a 3D open world, such as Ubisoft's Watch Dogs and Deep Silver's Saints Row series, were labeled, often disparagingly, as Grand Theft Auto clones, much as how many early first-person shooters were called "Doom clones".[42] Another well-known open world game is Minecraft, which has sold over 18,223,154 copies for the PC, Mac, and Linux.[43][44]
There were several early games that offered players the ability to explore an open world while driving a variety of ground vehicles. Turbo Esprit provided a 3D free-roaming city environment in 1986 and has been cited as a major influence on Grand Theft Auto.[23] TX-1 (1983),[45] The Battle-Road (1984)[46] and Out Run (1986)[36] were non-linear driving games that allowed the player to drive through multiple different paths that lead to different possible routes and final destinations.[36][45][46] Many of main arcade-style racing (as opposed to simulation) series had done open-world games by the 2010s.
Another notable example is The Elder Scrolls series of games, which feature a large and diverse world offering tasks and possibilities to play.
In 2011, Dan Ryckert of Game Informer wrote that open world crime games were "a major force" in the gaming industry for the preceding decade.[47]
More recent open world crime games include Sleeping Dogs in 2012 and Triad Wars both set in contemporary Hong Kong focusing on the Triad organized crime syndicate.
The Outerra Engine is a world rendering engine in development since 2008 that is capable of seamlessly rendering whole planets from space down to ground level. Anteworld is a world-building game and free tech-demo of the Outerra Engine that builds up on real world data to render planet Earth realistically on a true-to-life scale.[48]
Set to be released in 2015, No Man's Sky is a video game that features an open world universe so gigantic it would take all of Earth's inhabitants 505 billion years to explore it all at the rate of one planet per second. According to the developers, through procedural generation the game will be able to produce more than 18 quintillion planets for players to explore.

While the vast majority of people use Facebook for personal use, it is important to create a business page for professional purposes. Here are ten things to consider when building your page:
1. Don't wait to begin using social media tools. Professionals should create their personal brand from the moment they consider starting a business. Having a solid online presence will allow professionals to gain access to an audience that will read and comment on your social media content. Professionals can also begin collecting and storing hundreds of e-mail addresses for marketing purposes.
2. Be a good listener! Keep an ear out for what's happening professionally in communities. Monitor other competitor pages along with industry pages to stay abreast of current trends 3. Be cautious when choosing the name of a professional Facebook page. Once a page has more than 30 fans, the name cannot be changed. Use an adaptable name, like 'stylist,' 'hair pro,' 'financial services professional,' etc. Avoid any names that are transitory in nature.
4. Keep your personal page and business page very separate. A professional Facebook business page will tell a prospective client that you're a pro and can act like one.
5. But don't be afraid to show your personality. Even a professional Facebook page can show a professional's individuality and style.
6. Spotlight others on your Facebook business page. Give credit to employees and clients. Consider it good karma! These people will in turn 'like' your page and share glowing reviews – a powerful resource when attracting new clients.
7. Let potential employers know you're socially connected. Many businesses, big and small, know that they need a social media presence but they're unsure how to get started. By already having that experience, you will have an advantage not only for your professional skills, but your social media skills, as well. Being an integral part of any business' social media presence will ensure a lasting place within that business and a successful career.
8. Make it sticky. Create an 'interest list' with all the different topics that may interest your target audience. Topics a business may want to consider are:
- Talk about a tradeshow events you'll be attending (before, during and after) o Share lots of real-time photos on your FB business page
- Review something (products you carry, shows you watch, your new boots, anything that might interest your target audience o Share videos (funny, informative, educational) about.com is a great resource for videos
- Act on impulses and share that info on your FB page o Search for interesting topics on twitter and share that with your fans
- Think two months down the road and prepare specials based on upcoming holidays
- Showcase your community (i.e. let a local artist hang art in your business and take lots of photos or offer price-reduced services to all police, fire and emergency service professionals in your town)
9. Use social media as a platform to market yourself. Use a professional Facebook page as an easy, attractive medium of communication to potential and current clients. But most importantly, make it super easy for them to schedule an appointment with you. After all, the main goal is to grow your business. Schedulicity pioneered a widget for appointment-dependent businesses to leverage Facebook, Twitter or their own business website as a business-building tool. This integration of the widget allows clients to book directly with a service provider 24/7, without the hassles of scheduling over the phone. No more missed appointments.
10. Think out of the box and look at the bigger business picture. For example, a hair stylist doesn't always have to share news specific to the hair industry and a CPA doesn't always have to talk about accounting. Share business tips of the day or the week that are still relevant to current and potential customers. (Hint: Look for them by using the term 'business tips' on search.twitter.com)
Jerry Nettuno is founder, CEO and chairman for Schedulicity. He's also an experienced entrepreneur – he co-founded Milestone Financial Group which was later acquired by Raymond James, Inc. and founded Schedulicity in 2003.

Astica Malbec 2014 750ml$8.94
Astica Chardonnay 2013
Astica - Cuyo - Argentina - Mendoza
Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one which has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is the Chardonnay. This green skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape, and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.
Situated in and around the Andean mountains, the Cuyo region of Argentina has long been associated with the best of the country's wine industry. Including now world famous provinces such as Mendoza and La Rioja, Argentina's Cuyo region has something of an ideal environment for the cultivation of high quality grapes including Argentina's flagship varietal, the Malbec which includes the beautiful Desaguadero River and its tributaries. Although the region itself is quite dry and arid, the soils have a remarkably high mineral content, and plenty of iron which gives it the distinctive red color associated with Cuyo. For several decades now, wineries in Cuyo have been booming, as more and more of the global wine audience begin to recognize the region's remarkable potential for rich and flavorful wines.
In the dry, arid deserts of Argentina, wineries and winemakers are focusing their efforts on producing high quality wines for the world market. By experimenting with both traditional and modern methods and technologies, they have found great success with a wide variety of grapes well suited to the conditions of the country, particularly Malbec, Bonarda and Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the past decade, Argentinian wineries have continued to aim high, and this has led to a range of new wines using grape varietals not typically associated with the country. The cooler regions of Argentina are seeing more vineyards being planted with Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir varietals, something that is beginning to produce fantastic results, which are at once representative of the country's wines - with all their fruity and bold character - but are also pushing the boundaries of what we expect from a New World country.

Now, I wanted to buy a new Bluetooth keyboard and I found one from amazon. Users reviews aren't topnotch but I think it is a great keyboard as I also found another review for it from a popular website. I don't want to buy another expensive keyboard for my Nexus 7 and would end up feeling frustrated and I think buying this one which is on sale would be a good choice though I haven't made up my mind yet. I think I can if I would hear your opinion guys. Thanks!

Coughlin high school senior and baseball player Dave Marriggi signed on to continue his baseball playing at Towson University.
Marriggi, 17, who is a standout at the plate and on the mound for the Crusaders, made it official on Wednesday, sending his letter of intent to pitch for the Maryland-based school on the first day of the early signing period.
Coughlin baseball coach Moe Rodzinak is very happy with the recognition his player has recieved and he feels he will be a great fit for the Tigers.
"When college coaches recruit, they look for size, they don't give a little guy a chance," Rodzinak said. "Thank God they didn't overlook him. He's a crafty lefty because he won't throw the ball 90 mph, but he gets more movement than most left-handers. He depends on his movement and location and he's tough to hit against — hitters hate to bat against him.
"He's pitched great for us and Legion. He's not worried about his speed on the ball, he knows his limits. He knows what he has to do to pitch well and he does it. I think he'll do well at the next level."
As a junior, Marriggi had a 2.80 ERA for the Crusaders, striking out 33 while also playing center field and leading the team with a .388 average at the plate.
With Marriggi preparing for his senior season in the spring, Rodzniak doesn't believe that the recognition will affect his play and that he will be one of the best players in the Wyoming Valley Conference this season.
"He's gonna have a real good season," Rodzinak said. "He's gonna be one of the top players in the WVC. I really think he's gonna be one of the top pitchers in the league and he's a very good centerfielder. I'm gonna write him as one of the top three or four players in the league.
"He's a good leader, he'll help (younger players) out so it's like having another coach. Because of his work and what he puts into the game he could be the best player in the league this year."
Towson is no stranger the WVC and has signed other former players as well including Tunkhannock's Tyler Austin in 2008 and Crestwood's Chris Wychock in 2007.
Rodzinak called it a great opportunity for his player and one close enough that his family will be able to support him in person.
"He's excited and his family is excited," said Rodzinak. "It's only a three-hour ride so his parents can see him play."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Bob Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants who rose to become one of the highest-ranking Hispanic members of Congress, was charged Wednesday with accepting nearly $1 million in gifts and campaign contributions from a longtime friend in exchange for a stream of political favors.
California announced sweeping statewide water restrictions for the first time in history Wednesday in order to combat the region's devastating drought, the worst since records began. Governor Jerry Brown issued the declaration at a press conference in a parched, brown slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains that would normally be covered by deep snow. The executive order issued by Brown would aim to achieve a 25 percent reduction in water usage across cities and towns throughout California by a combination of measures. "As Californians, we must pull together and save water in every way possible," Brown said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It's a family name that has long been associated with unimaginable wealth and sometimes unspeakable tragedy.

Foods were generously served, staffs were helpful in choosing foods to order. All the foods are fresh and delicious. Will surely comeback here!
If you are looking for a quick shrimp and chips experience then You have to try Jimmys prawns. My husband is truly obsessed with this place.
Keep in mind that they have all you can eat shrimps on Sunday for AED 99.
One thing we learned when visiting Jimmys Killer Prawns this time is to stick to Prawns and fish. We shared 2 platters among 3 of us. The Titans Meal platter had Prawns, Line fish grilled . Both were exceptionally good -specially the Line fish grilled- real melt in the mouth. Poseidon platter also had prawns and squids and Rump steak....
Service was really good, fish and calamari was just fine, but prawns are awesome.
when ever you want to enjoy the taste of shrimps, come here as it is one of the best in Abu Dhabi.
Caribbean plate was adequate and not recommended
The food is okay (barely) but what makes it worse is the attitude of the staff. On all three occasions I dined at the Mushrif Mall outlet the the service received was by hospitality standards unacceptable. If they improve of the service I'm sure the food will taste much better.
I have had sushi at many restaurants and was very happy with the sushi here when I last visited in March. However I was bitterly disappointed with this past week's visit. Not only did the waitress get my entire sushi order wrong, but what passed for "sushi" was a horrible vaguely salmon-flavoured "mush" in both the salmon fashion sandwiches and...
I have always enjoying the shrimps items there with their signature rice and sauce which gives nice taste to the course. The fish I don't recommend but their juices are so good.
It is not really an exceptional restaurant, not that fast service or high customer services, however they have a good food and good deals for groups.
Their best dish is the grilled shrimp. Don't try sushi, not bad but not the Japanese taste
Just went out of this horrible poor excuse of a restaurant, went there with my wife and kid, ordered salad, garlic bread and sea food mix platter!!!
Restaurant had some tables full (now i understand why!!!)so they were not busy at all, had to wait 40 minutes for the salad which tasted very blend with No seasoning!! Never saw the...
I'm a big fan of Jimmy's - it's probably my favourite mall dining venue in Abu Dhabi, mainly on account of its excellent food. It also has a cheerful ambience, and I particularly like the tables with the all-the-way around bench seating near the fish tank. Even when it's busy it never seems noisy and chaotic like some of the...

Lady Gaga Returns to Twitter, Poses With Two Fashion Icons [Pic]
Lady Gaga Gives Impromptu Performance at New York Bar
First, she attends a screening of 'The Great Gatsby' in NYC, arriving fashionably late, marking the fact that she is coming out of hibernation after recovering from hip surgery in February, which caused the tabling of her Born This Way Ball. Now, Lady Gaga is really getting back into action, giving an impromptu performance at a New York bar last Thursday, May 9.
Lady Gaga Is the Second Most Influential Icon of Last Decade
While critics often slam Lady Gaga about her sphere of influence -- suggesting her web popularity has waned or that the scale was thumbed, and that most of her Twitter follows are fake -- she was just anointed the Second Most Influential Icon of the last decade. The accolade came from Time, a credible publication to say the least, via a Face-Off voting bracket.
Lady Gaga Is Walking Again
Leather and gold-plated wheelchair be damned. Same for that Louis Vuitton logo'ed mode of transport. Lady Gaga is back on her feet! The singer was spotted walking around the East Village in NYC on April 2.
Lady Gaga Rejects a Standard-Issue Wheelchair and Goes for the Gold [PHOTO]
It's possible you're too rich and famous when, as you are healing from surgery, instead of cruising around in a regular wheelchair from the medical supply shop down the street, you commission a luxury jewelry and accessories designer to create a gold and leather wheelchair.
This is also a sign that you're Lady Gaga, and we're probably lucky the fancy new wheelchair isn't made entirely of bacon.
Lady Gaga Currently Confined to a Wheelchair She's Lovingly Named Emma [PHOTO]
Songstress and larger-than-life stage performer Lady Gaga is still suffering from the injury that caused her to completely scrap what's left of her Born This Way Ball tour.
Specifically, a "labral tear" in her hip which has left her unable to walk and signaled a need for emergency surgery. But as usual, she's found the silver lining -- and a new mechanical friend.
Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball Tour Canceled Because She Needs Hip Surgery
Virgin Mobile Presents: #BREAKFREE to Miami Sweepstakes
Important update: Live Nation Global Touring has confirmed that the remainder of the Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball performances have been canceled. The Lady Gaga #BreakFree To Miami Sweepstakes has been suspended until further notice. Please check back for more updates.
Lady Gaga Goes Green… With Her Hair!
Looks like Lady Gaga wants to celebrate St. Patrick's Day a little early this year. The Mother Monster has tinted her platinum blond locks, which are likely a wig, a minty shade of green. You know, it's more like absinthe hue. Actually, it's really a lime hue. Forget the green-eyed monster. It's the green-haired Mother Monster.
Lady Gaga Shares Photos of Born Brave Bus
The media is abuzz about Lady Gaga's Born Brave Bus, the free -- not to mention revolutionary -- mobile mental health vehicle that will be a part of the Born This Way Ball's North American caravan.
Lady Gaga to Launch Born Brave Bus on Tour to Raise Mental Health Awareness
Lady Gaga and her Born This Way Foundation are setting up mental health awareness booths at the shows on the upcoming North American leg of her Born This Way Ball, which launches next month in Canada.

What is your best 'bang for the buck' plant? ie, zuccini...
Hi there - I wanted to start a thread of what plants are really worth your time & money. The most obvious is zuccini as it can have great production. Another of mine is black eyed susan. After only two years I have divided them into a few plant for me and a friend.
What are your best value, most prolific plants?
Thanks in advance -
Julia in Woodinville, WA
Swiss chard. I can't praise it enough!
In cold zone 4 NOTHING can beat it. I plant it early and have the young leaves in salad. Then I let it grow and have the big leaves cooked in soups and stir-fry or just simmered (a little bacon is a nice addition). It keeps producing through several hard freezes that kills everything else in the garden.
It takes the cold, it takes the heat, it takes repeated cutting and just keeps going. grasshoppers chew on it a while in the summer, but it grows to fast for them to make much of a dent in production.
Sometimes it even survives the winter and pops up in the very early spring to feed us again before anything else is up.
Few things can compete with Swiss chard nutritionally either. it's even pretty enough for the flower bed since it comes in reds, yellows, orange and silver and pretty mixtures.
Swiss chard, what's not to like?
Okra, if you like it! It is expensive at the greengrocer, but grows easily, no maintenance other than picking promptly. We toss slices in cornmeal and "fry" in a dab of oil on a non-stick pan. Crunchy and nutritious.
Spaghetti squash is another pricey one at the store that grows easily. Interestingly, I have only had success with saved seed from grocery store squashes. Whenever I buy seed, the plants don't make it.
And, of course, leaf lettuce. The nicer lettuces are expensive at the grocery. A little more labor intensive than the zucchini, though.
Chard is a great suggestion. The red ones even look nice in the flower garden or shrub border.
Since its close to impossible to buy a really good tomato at any price planting tomatoes gives you something that no money can buy.
White patty pan squash are nearly as unobtainable so they're a must as well.
With the current price of cukes and peppers in the grocery store I'll only need to pick a dozen or so to pay for the seed/plants.
Having limited space, I don't grow space hogs that I can readily buy fresh or frozen for low prices -- broccoli, potatoes, onions, cabbage, etc.
I grow collards now that I'm living in the south. They're amazing. I do yankee collards -- sauteed in olive oil with garlic and balsamic vinegar. When I first moved south I didn't know how to cook them so I adapted my Italian-derived recipe for kale.
I do grow beans, but only the purple and yellow ones.
potatoes are great - you get a lot of calories out of a small space.
We grow hops on a couple of trellis - no significant flower, but they grow fast and provide us with a great, lush screen. Someday I'd like to try making some homemade beer, and would love to be able to use the hops we grow in that.
Off subject some, but I like to try and "grow" my soil (so to speak). This year I plan to plant some alfalfa; to use in making compost. (we are fortunate to have the space for such an endeavor)
Here is a link that might be useful: John Jeavons article - this guy is a soil grower big time
Ditto to the person who said Chard. I like anything that is densely nutritious, survives nearly all weather conditions, and keeps producing all season from a single planting!
Plant once, harvest a few outer leaves from each plant at a time, and enjoy fresh salad and sandwich greens, stir fry and sautee greens, and soup greens, from Spring til frost!
Hoping for chard. It is my first year.
Garlic. It is expensive here, but very easy to grow. Grows during the off season. Wow.
Peppers. More expensive, a little harder to grow.
Tomatoes. Not expensive, but simple to grow. No pests really.
Potatoes are great. They can be stored a long time if you take some care.
Here is a surprise for you. LETTUCE!!! Save your seed, and it is cheap cheap cheap.
I grow other things. Asparagus is great, but space is really at a premium where I live, so I am ambivalent. Considering the time and trouble, expensive things like broccoli and cauliflower are not worth it for me. Pumpkins are very easy, very good, and store well, but the space is still hardly worth it.
You can find many official sources with this information on the web.
I have to go with tomatoes too. For 3ftx3ft space per plant I get about 20 lbs of fruit, and during the season I eat about 1lb per day fresh, and in the off season we eat probably 1-5 lbs per week of frozen sauce or frozen tomatoes. Even if a Zucchini did produce that much fruit for that amount of space (can you gow zucchini in a tomato cage? I just couldn't eat that much of it. Same for Chard. Potatoes are a possibility, but I would have to switch over from Pasta, and then my tomato consumption would drop. From an economic standpoint, heirloom tomatoes are $3-$5 per lb, Zucchini is $1-2, Potatoes ~$1, so each tomato plant is giving me up to $100 of food per plant.
I live in southern TN, 6b, and I wanted to ask about planting chard now. It's already warmed up, should I wait and make it a fall crop? Will that work? I've never grown swiss chard before, but after reading these posts I'd like to give it a try. I'd love to be able to give my family fresh, organic greens of any kind. However, didn't have the garden ready this spring, and I'm getting a late start.
Oh, I'd say tomato plants, started from seed, indeterminate and cherry, you get lots of them, enough to share and give away! Nothing beats the taste, either.
Do any of you save seed from your vegetable gardens, or flower gardens to plant out next year? If so, how do you do it successfully? Thanks, you guys are great.
After consideration, cherry tomatoes.
Where I live, they are anywhere from a dime to a quarter apiece, and last year, I had a small shopping bag of them that I took on a day trip with four kids. They disappeared quickly.
Garlic is 1-2 bucks a head. Peppers and Tomatoes can get up to a buck each.
I guess we all have different criteria. I could make an equation, probably, but the best bang for the buck would be a veg: grown easily in a small space, off season, using few nutrients, producing useful expensive food that can be stored for some reasonable time.
For me, garlic is the only one that fits all of that, and it keeps for months. Chard would be second place if it could be grown year round AND produce seeds, but ch. toms are number two right now.
Saving seed is easy. There are details, but basically, save the seeds the plant produces. Let them dry. Store them. Use them. If it were hard, plants could not do it. They do. You can too. Just do it.
Obvious exceptions are potatoes and garlic, which grow faster if you do not use seed.
I save seed for peppers, toms, beans, garlic(cloves), potatoes(seed potatoes), squashes and pumpkins, lettuce, carrot, broccoli, radish, onion, etc.
Saving seed for tomatoes is a bit different than for fruits that have "dry" seed. If you just want a couple of tomato plants for the next year you can dry some seeds, goo and all, on a peice of napkin, plastic etc. If you want to save the seeds from an entire tomato for longer storage or trading you have to get rid of the goo. The simplest way to do this is called fermentation. Cut the tomato in half and squish the seeds and juice into a wire strainer over a bowl. Take a rubber spatula and squish/rub some of the gel off of the seeds and through the strainer (this speads things up a bit and makes it a cleaner process). Put the seeds into the bowl and add some warmish water. Cover and let rot in a warm room temp area for 3-4 days, rinse the seeds off (the wire strainer and kitchen sink sprayer help) and dry on a paper plate or coffee filter for a few days. The seeds will be nice and clean and fuzzy at this point.
People doing large quantities simply squish whole tomatoes into a bucket and add water and let it rot for a few days. The good seeds sink to the bottom and the bad seeds and rotting fruit float above in the water when the mess is swirled
Fermentation works for goopy pumpkin seeds to.
Novice2009. You can plant chard now. I'm in southern tn and I find chard grows much better than spinach here and will produce year round except for the hottest part of summer. I let it go to seed and always have volunteers from it to replant elsewhere.
I plant lots of zuchini and summer squash. We eat lots fresh, but freeze most. When the freezer is full, dehyrdrate the rest (and certainly those that go too big) Those are stored and used in soups and casseroles all winter. They reconstitute well.
Those tiny cherry tomatoes that volunteer like crazy have really saved my bacon during the drought. They produced when my fancy tomatoes didn't . When those died, I still lived on cherry tomatoes.
Normally beans produce well for us.
For me, its the tromboncino squash. It does take a lot of space but it produces two types of squash. When it is young, it is a good substitute for zucchini. If you let it grow, it gets quite large (3 feet or so) and the squash tastes like a winter butternut squash. It is pretty hardy and withstands the assault of the squash vine borer and squash bugs. It is also quite an attention getter!
There's different kinds of "bang" for the buck.
From a pure compared-to-supermarket-prices perspective: shallots. I've seen shallots go for a buck each around here. I bought a bag of sets for 16 bucks years ago and save some back for replanting every year, so my cost per shallot goes down every year even as my crop size grew. As the numbers are currently working, each shallot I grow this year will cost less than two cents. Plus they are terrific to have in the kitchen (especially when they are cheap) and offer long storage with no special effort.
From a nutrition-per-square-foot perspective: potatoes. A ton of food from small spaces. Also superb in the kitchen, especially new potatoes, and interesting variety available. And also offer long storage without canning or freezing.
From a gee-whiz-in-the-garden perspective: Swiss chard. Grows from spring to fall, is hardy and likes cool weather yet also yields in summer heat, yields all season from a single planting, is easily grown and rarely bothered by pests (in my garden anyway) AND is best thought of as two vegetables culinarily (leaves and stalks)...whew, that's an impressive list of credentials for a leafy green! Collards come close, but I find chard easier to care for and more interesting in the kitchen.
But my overall champion has to be: tomatoes. Easy to grow. Prolific plants. Great compared-to-market value. Almost mythical quality when garden ripened. Tremendous variety to choose from. And, for me, without a doubt the most versatile vegetable in the kitchen. They can find a place in breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be raw or cooked a million ways. Consider the number of cuisines they are at home in, and the number of roles they play in those cuisines, and the number of ingredients you can marry them to - it's amazing. So for me they are an unbeatable combo of money bang, garden bang, and culinary bang.
This year it is Kabocha squash, also known as Japanese pumpkin.
I threw out some seeds from a Kabocha out into an empty flower bed.....now I have many fruits on the vine and have required very little care.
I love the Kabochas because they are sweeter than pumpkins, very nutritious make great smoothies. The are about 85 cents a pound at the market, if you can find them, and mine weigh about 5 pounds so so.
I begged an almost rotten tomatillo from the market and threw it in some dirt and kept the place watered. Now I have lots of tomatillos blooming....and they re-seed easily.
Good for salsa and green chile sauce.
Matt's Wild Cherry tomato - 1000's of tomatoes, no pest or disease problems, self-seeds prolifically (I never plant it, just don't weed it from the parts of the garden where I want it to grow that season). My garden would be a cherry tomato jungle if I let it have its way.
Jeruselum artichoke - completely takes care of itself, just dig the tubers when you need them. Will also self-seed itself around the garden and yard if you let the flowers mature fruit.

"Great for road trip with the kids."
Great books. Lots of fun, well written, original, unpredictable. We got it for the long drive to drop off my older son at scout camp. We all enjoyed it-- both my sons (ages 6 and 12) really got into the story, and so did mom and dad. We paused the playback from time to time to make guesses about what was going to happen and how it would end, but no one successfully predicted the ending. All in all, a big success and I'm glad there are 4 more in the series. Solves the problem of what books to get for the family vacation this summer.

This study mainly concentrated on vacuum metal deposition (VMD) and cyanoacrylate fuming (CAF), to ascertain whether these methods could visualise planted marks and consequently be used in the examination of clothing from assault cases. Nine different fabrics: cotton, polycotton, polyester, nylon, nylon-Lycra, satin, silk, rayon and linen along with fifteen donors ranging in age, sex and ability to leave fingermarks were used during this work. The donors were previously tested on paper to determine their propensity to leave fingermarks, which gave an indication as to their donor ability level – poor, medium or good. The samples were collected and processed with the appropriate technique after a determined time interval, generally, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days, however this was altered for some of the trials. From the results, it was found that both VMD and CAF did visualise marks and ridge detail from latent fingermarks. VMD was found to be the most suitable technique for development of fingermarks on fabric, with gold + zinc VMD best for light coloured fabrics and silver VMD for dark. CAF also visualised several identifiable marks, even with the problems of background fluorescence from the basic yellow 40 (BY40) dye used to visualise the cyanoacrylate (CA) polymer. Generally, it appears that the smoother fabrics with a tighter weave, such as nylon and silk allowed the visualisation of more detail than rougher and/or looser weave fabrics such as cotton and linen. The latter tended only to show empty marks or marks, which gave indications of where the fabric had been touched. However, fabrics that did show marks, even if not suitable for identification, could still give information as to the sequence of events that may have occurred during an assault as well as identifying an area to tape for DNA. It was determined that it was possible to collect DNA from VMD visualised marks which led to partial and full profiles of those who touched and grabbed the test swatches or items of clothing tested. Though both VMD and CAF were affected by the addition of water to the surface of the fabrics being processed, marks and ridge detail were still detected, though CAF was less effective than VMD. With sequential treatment, it appears that the optimum sequence is VMD followed by CAF, due to enhancement of contrast between the metal deposits and BY40 yellow stained background. CAF then VMD only led to extra detail being observed on nylon-Lycra. There was limited success with 1,8-diaza-9-fluorenone (DFO), small particle reagent (SPR), ninhydrin, fluorescent powders or the sputter coater for alternative VMD metals. The production of nanoparticles was unsuccessful; so no fingermark visualisation was attempted. Finally, the issue of ridge detail being obscured by the fabric weave may have been resolved by the use of IR photography or FFT processing. In conclusion, both VMD and CAF are viable processes for the development of fingermark and palm detail on fabric, clothing and textiles. It must be considered however that the donor and fabric being processed greatly affected the level of detail visualised. However, even if ridge detail is not visualised, any marks that are present could indicate a sequence of events or 2013-08-01T00:00:00Z Emotional avatars: choreographing emotional facial expression animation http://hdl.handle.net/10373/1037 Title: Emotional avatars: choreographing emotional facial expression animation Authors: Sloan, Robin J. S. Abstract: As a universal element of human nature, the experience, expression, and perception of emotions permeate our daily lives. Many emotions are thought to be basic and common to all humanity, irrespective of social or cultural background. Of these emotions, the corresponding facial expressions of a select few are known to be truly universal, in that they can be identified by most observers without the need for training. Facial expressions of emotion are subsequently used as a method of communication, whether through close face-to-face contact, or the use of emoticons online and in mobile texting. Facial expressions are fundamental to acting for stage and screen, and to animation for film and computer games. Expressions of emotion have been the subject of intense experimentation in psychology and computer science research, both in terms of their naturalistic appearance and the virtual replication of facial movements. From this work much is known about expression universality, anatomy, psychology, and synthesis. Beyond the realm of scientific research, animation practitioners have scrutinised facial expressions and developed an artistic understanding of movement and performance. However, despite the ubiquitous quality of facial expressions in life and research, our understanding of how to produce synthetic, dynamic imitations of emotional expressions which are perceptually valid remains somewhat limited. The research covered in this thesis sought to unite an artistic understanding of expression animation with scientific approaches to facial expression assessment. Acting as both an animation practitioner and as a scientific researcher, the author set out to investigate emotional facial expression dynamics, with the particular aim of identifying spatio-temporal configurations of animated expressions that not only satisfied artistic judgement, but which also stood up to empirical assessment. These configurations became known as emotional expression choreographies. The final work presented in this thesis covers the performative, practice-led research into emotional expression choreography, the results of empirical experimentation (where choreographed animations were assessed by observers), and the findings of qualitative studies (which painted a more detailed picture of the potential context of choreographed expressions). The holistic evaluation of expression animation from these three epistemological perspectives indicated that emotional expressions can indeed be choreographed in order to create refined performances which have empirically measurable effects on observers, and which may be contextualised by the phenomenological interpretations of both student animators and general audiences. 2011-07-19T00:00:00Z Materials science appraisal of recycled construction materials for roadways http://hdl.handle.net/10373/20 Title: Materials science appraisal of recycled construction materials for roadways Authors: Ogwuda, Olisanwendu Ikechukwuka Abstract: This thesis reports on a materials science appraisal for recycled construction materials in roadways, that supports engineering decision-making. Inconsistent performance criteria for roadway materials and the variable nature of material source have prompted the need for this research. The aim of the study is to investigate the application of a materials science appraisal to recycled construction materials for use in roadways. The investigation is undertaken through a literature review of roadways, conceptual development of the materials science appraisal methodology, and demonstration of the application of the materials science appraisal to recycled construction materials; and how this supports engineering decision-making. The literature review revealed that there are numerous and proven uses of recycled and secondary materials in roadway applications but there was a lack of necessary integration of materials into categories by material-type, which can better describe behaviour in an engineering situation. Three novel fundamental material types (ceramic, metallic, and polymeric) have been described. The conceptual development of the innovative and novel materials science appraisal, based on material-type, has defined how materials science through a systematic step-by-step procedure can be used to achieve engineering sustainability in roadways and provide support in engineering decision-making. The application of the novel concept of the materials science appraisal to recycled construction materials is shown through the essence of laboratory testing. The results from the materials science appraisal, together with sensitivity analysis, give an informed engineering decision on product choice. The appraisal is novel in that it is proposing a new theory on materials science and developed a paradigm shift in the evaluation of recycled construction materials. The appraisal overcomes the absence of materials science thinking in the field of roadway engineering. The materials science appraisal is of benefit to various stakeholders (client, consultant, supplier and contractor) as it provides a method for addressing material uncertainties. A system now exists for introducing into designs and any contract the principles of the materials science appraisal that will be of great benefit to industry. 2007-09-01T00:00:00Z Making a third place: the science and the poetry of husbandry http://hdl.handle.net/10373/92 Title: Making a third place: the science and the poetry of husbandry Authors: Wood, Sandra Dawn; Wood, Dawn Abstract: It locally contains or heaven, or hell; There's no third place in't. (Webster 1993) Husbandry in its original sense is a 'being together', based on dwelling in a particular place. There is an intricate connection between modern science and industrialised agriculture, both of which developed on the basis of particular values associated with Good Husbandry – those which focused on individual innovation, profit-related productivity, quantitative measurement, objective, 'puritan' truth and control of nature. Ideals of the earth as a 'commonwealth', and of traditional stewardship, were down-played. The writings of Francis Bacon provide an example of a positivist, pioneering attitude which has continued to underpin modern science. In retrospect, however, these ideals sound rather one-sided. Nature herself is not well represented in the modern science relationship. In this thesis, Virgil's Georgics and Lucretius' de rerum natura are used to derive a poetics of Being and of Husbandry, which applies not only to the world of poetry, but to events which underlie scientific research. Virgil's use of verbs verifies that life's activities are shared by all living things. Lucretius asserts that even inanimate atoms both exist in themselves and are creative. 'To be' can be visualised as a dynamic, balancing act between striving to stay in being and longing to engage creatively with another. The basis of this thesis is that a shaping of research towards good husbandry involves a fair relationship with nature, which in turn involves the acknowledgement in writing that nature is active, dynamic and a good collaborator. Husbandry defined as a continually unfolding third place between extremes or between self and other – this holistic, concentric definition – applies at all scales, all levels of experience. This work was derived from practice-led research involving the writing of poetry and therefore the findings exist in parallel as a sequence of poems. Description: Poems removed from this version have been published in the cited work. 2008-11-28T00:00:00Z
