vibranteclectic (1)An open plan kitchen and living space has become a primary desire for today’s homeowners, particularly people who love to entertain or have families.

When you’re considering an island with a cooktop in your open plan whole home remodel, here are just a few ideas to keep in mind:

Where to Look

You may choose 18_6123848_47349-118to center on an outdoor vista or on an interior where you will most often be interacting with family and guests.

Choose a Hood
The designer stove hood in this colorful and glamorous kitchen is a piece of functional art.

Consider how your island will most often be used. If you have children, will they be doing homework at the island? If you’re a couple do you enjoy simple meals at the island on occasion? Do you enjoy hosting large gatherings? All these considerations are essential as you plan the orientation, shape and seating for your cooktop island. In this Family-Centric kitchen for clients who frequently socialize with large groups of parents and kids, the island’s marble countertop was custom cut with angled edges to create and sense of movement and allow room for more stools when needed.

Bess Floats

Bess Floats © Jane Caminos

Oil 30″ x 24″ *

From a Lake George vacation photo in 1947, when my mother was pregnant with me and her best friend, Bess, sat across from her in a rowboat.

Bess was a lover of the cha cha cha, in particular after a few manhattans, when she’d shuffle her sandals across the back porch floor, laughing her distinctive caw caw caw. During the holidays, she was known for putting the Brown n’ Serv rolls in the oven with the cellophane wrapper intact. Those manhattans, that Bess!

EatBeat: III Forks Has Your Belmont Stakes Cocktail in Honor of I’ll Have Another

June 7th, 2012 · No Comments

I'll Have Another will vie for Triple Crown Saturday at The Belmont Stakes. /photo from goodshotatlosing.com

John Tanasychuk of the Sun Sentinel writes today about a bourbon cocktail in honor of I’ll Have Another – the potential for horseracing’s Triple Crown that takes the track at Belmont this Saturday.

It will be served at the III Forks and Cantina Laredo in Hallandale at the Village of Gulfstream Park – right next to the Gulstream Racetrack (perfect place to bet and watch).

The restaurants will offer specials for the race – from 4-7 p.m, there are 2-for-1 house wine, domestic and imported beer deals. Kobe beef sliders will be $3 at the III Forks bar and Cantina Laredo’s bar will have chips and a cup of chile con queso for $3.

The Belmont Jewel cocktail

At the Belmont Racetrack, they’ll be serving up the “official” cocktail for the race, dubbed the Belmont Jewel – as in Jewel in the Triple Crown. Made with bourbon – because it’s horse-country related, it’s got pomegranate and lemonade to brighten it up.

Here’s the recipe for the Belmont Jewel, and the one for I’ll Have Another.

Belmont Jewel cocktail

  • 1.5 ounces Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon
    2 ounces lemonade
    1 ounce pomegranate juice

Shake vigorously with ice and serve on the rocks. Garnish with maraschino cherry or lemon twist. Makes 1 drink.

I’ll Have Another

  • 8 mint leaves, plus mint sprig for garnish
    1 lime wedge
    1 lemon wedge
    1 orange wedge
    1 ounce simple syrup
    1 1/2 ounces Jim Beam Devil’s Cut Bourbon
    1/2 ounce Harvey’s Bristol Cream
    1 1/5 ounces orange juice

In a cocktail shaker, muddle mint, fruit wedges and simple syrup. Fill shaker with ice. Add bourbon, Bristol Cream and orange juice. Shake to combine.

Pour contents of shaker, including ice, into a 14-ounce footed pilsner glass. Add additional ice to fill as need. Garnish with a mint sprig.

Makes 1 cocktail.

Health Care Reform: Recent Guidance on "Play or Pay" Rules for Applicable Large Employers in 2014

by Akerman LLP

Many important aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA") will go into effect in 2014, including the implementation of health insurance exchanges, and the requirement for certain employers to offer certain health plan coverage to certain employees and dependents. The IRS issued welcome proposed regulations on December 28, 2012 ("Proposed Regulations"), published on January 2, 2013 in 78 Fed. Reg. 217, providing additional details and clarity on a number of open issues related to employer obligations. Employers are able to rely on these proposed regulations until issuance of a final rule.

The focus of this Practice Update is on the threshold determination of which employers are subject to the 2014 coverage requirement.

Which Employers Will Be Subject to the "Play or Pay" Rules in 2014?

Under ACA, certain “applicable large employers” may be subject to a penalty tax for failing to offer health care coverage for all full-time employees and their dependents (but not spouses) or failing to offer minimum essential coverage that provides minimum value and is affordable. The rules for determining whether an employer is an applicable large employer are complex.

An applicable large employer is an employer who employed on average at least 50 full-time employees (including full-time equivalents) on business days during the preceding calendar year. So for purposes of determining whether an employer is an "applicable large employer" in 2014, the employer's workforce in 2013 is crucial.

For purposes of determining whether an employer is an applicable large employer for a given calendar year, an employer must count not only its full-time employees from the preceding calendar year, but also a full-time equivalent for employees who worked part-time in the preceding calendar year. A full-time employee for any month is an employee (including a seasonal employee) who averages at least 30 hours of service to the employer per week in the United States. A total of 130 hours of service in a month is treated as the monthly equivalent of 30 hours of service per week. Hours of service include not only time for which the employee was paid for actually performing the employee's duties, but also includes other paid time, such as paid time off for vacation, holidays, illness, incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty, military duty, or leave of absence.

The Proposed Regulations provide the methodology for determining full-time equivalents. In general, if the average count of full-time and full-time equivalents together for a given calendar year is 50 or more, the employer is an applicable large employer for the next succeeding calendar year. The Proposed Regulations also provide additional details, and further describe detailed methods for determining the status of ongoing employees, newly hired employees, and seasonal employees.

What if Individual Companies That Share Common Ownership Each Employ Fewer than 50 Full-Time Employees?

Even if individual companies remain below the 50 employee threshold, all companies under "common control" under certain qualified retirement plan rules will be treated as one aggregated single employer for purposes of determining whether the average count of employees for a given calendar year is 50 or more.

Internal Revenue Code Sections 414(b) and 414(c) define the term “controlled group”. Companies within a controlled group are considered to be a single employer. A controlled group relationship exists if the businesses have a “parent-subsidiary” relationship or a “brother-sister” relationship or some combination thereof.

Another way to aggregate companies is through Code Section 414(m), which provides that all employees of members of an “affiliated service group” shall be treated as employed by a single employer. An affiliated service group includes, among other things, a management group. A management group exists where an entity (“Management Organization”) performs management functions for another entity (“Recipient Organization”). If the Management Organization’s principal business is to perform these management functions for the Recipient Organization on a regular and continuing basis, then the management group is treated as an affiliated service group. For this particular rule, there is no requirement that either of the entities have an ownership interest in the other entity.

It is important to carefully analyze the relationship between entities in order to determine whether the controlled group rules apply. Individual facts are crucial.

What Transitional Relief Did the Proposed Regulations Provide for Counting Employees in 2014?

The Proposed Regulations allow an employer to determine its status as an applicable large employer for 2014 by using a period of at least six consecutive months in 2013 rather than using the entire 2013 calendar year. This is extremely helpful from an administrative perspective, as it allows the employer to have time to prepare for the calculation, and also to implement the results of its determination.

Under the Proposed Regulations, if the employer chooses to use this transitional relief, in order to determine if it is an applicable large employer in 2014, it will have to determine if the average number of full-time and full-time equivalent employees for the chosen six consecutive month period in 2013 is 50 or more. For example, an employer could use the period of April through September 2013 to determine whether it is an applicable large employer for the 2014 calendar year.

What Should Employers Do Now?

Now is the time for employers to work with qualified counsel to prepare for the full implementation of ACA. The Proposed Regulations provide additional clarity and certain transitional relief related to the "play-or-pay" penalty that will first be imposed in 2014. Many key strategic decisions face employers of all sizes in 2013.

In the near future, employers should be prepared to calculate whether they will be considered applicable large employers, and if so, which of their employees and dependents must be offered affordable minimum essential coverage that provides minimum value in 2014. As a corollary to this evaluation, employers should consider updating the eligibility provisions within their plan documents and summary plan descriptions to accurately reflect the appropriate eligibility service counting methods.

A later Practice Update will discuss portions of the Proposed Regulations that describe the mechanics of the calculation of the penalty beginning in 2014 for applicable large employers (a) that fail to offer coverage at all or fail to offer coverage to at least 95% of its full-time employees and their dependents, (b) that offer coverage, but that fail to offer affordable coverage (i.e., the cost of self-only health plan coverage exceeds 9.5% of the employee's Form W-2 compensation), or (c) that offer coverage, but that fail to offer coverage providing minimum value (i.e., the health plan does not pay at least 60% of the total allowed costs of benefits provided under the plan). That later Practice Update will also address additional transition rules that were included within the Proposed Regulations, including new flexibility afforded to non-calendar year group health plans.

Legislature Adopts Historic Sustainable Groundwater Management Act

by Best Best & Krieger LLP

Act Imposes Groundwater Management and Reporting Requirements on Local Agencies

On Friday night, the California Legislature adopted a lawmaking package, including Senate Bills 1168 and 1319 and Assembly Bill 1739, and the bills are now awaiting Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature. Once signed, the bills would establish the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and comprehensively regulate groundwater for the first time in California’s history. In light of the ongoing drought, the Act intends to provide local and regional agencies with the authority to sustainably manage groundwater basins within their respective jurisdictions.

To do so, the Act requires that all high and medium priority groundwater basins, as characterized by the Department of Water Resources, be governed by one or more groundwater sustainability agencies by June 30, 2017. Counties will be presumed to be the groundwater sustainability agency for unmanaged areas. Groundwater sustainability agencies for all high and medium priority basins must adopt a groundwater sustainability plan by Jan. 31, 2022. For basins subject to critical overdraft conditions, the plan must be adopted by Jan. 31, 2020.

Groundwater sustainability plans must include long-term planning, objectives and goals to achieve basin sustainability within 20 years of plan implementation. Upon adoption of a groundwater sustainability plan, the groundwater sustainability agency must submit an annual report to the Department of Water Resources of groundwater data for the basin, including elevation, aggregate extraction, water usage and any changes in groundwater storage to monitor progress toward this sustainability goal.

The Act will impose a number of new requirements on public agencies related to groundwater management and provides avenues for state intervention when local agencies are unwilling or unable to manage the state’s groundwater basins. With more than 100 years of experience representing public agencies, and its national reputation on water and environmental issues, BB&K is equipped to handle all issues for complying with these new legal requirements. Among other areas, BB&K attorneys have extensive experience in the following:

  • Water Rights/Water Usage/Water Supply Planning: Groundwater sustainability agencies have the power to regulate, limit or suspend water extractions from the basin. BB&K has extensive experience with the exercising of water rights and assisting water supply agencies with contingency planning.
  • General Plan Adoption/Amendment: The substantial amendment or adoption of a general plan must consider any adopted groundwater sustainability plan. As experts on general plan issues, BB&K can assist with integrating the review and requirements of those plans with the general plan process.
  • Joint Powers Authorities/Agreements: A groundwater sustainability agency can consist of multiple local agencies. Particularly, where groundwater basins underlie more than one county, coordination and potential exercise of joint powers may be necessary.
  • Negotiation/Mediation: The Act does not include guidance for resolving disputes amongt agencies who may wish to form a groundwater sustainability agency. Additionally, the Act provides that it can apply to Native American Tribes to the extent permitted by law. Thus, negotiating and handling outreach amongt multiple agencies/entities may be crucial.
  • Validation Actions/Administrative Writ Litigation: The Act would allow groundwater sustainability plans to be verified via validation action. Unless the validation statutes are relied upon, the Act also provides that agency actions may be challenged via petition for a writ of administrative mandate.
  • Imposing Fees/Fines and Enforcement Actions: Groundwater sustainability agencies are given the authority to impose fees, and also to impose fines and to undertake enforcement proceedings for violations of groundwater sustainability plans. BB&K attorneys have expertise in the process and requirements for such actions, including the applicability of Proposition 218.
  • Inspection Warrants/Property Access Agreements: The Act requires agencies to conduct baseline studies of groundwater conditions, requiring access to lands overlying the basin.
  • Open Meeting/Public Hearing/Notice Requirements: The Act would impose a variety of public consultation, notice, public hearing and other outreach requirements.

Minnesota Legislative Leaders Discuss Energy and Environment Legislation

by Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A.

The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce held an “Insider’s Issue Breakfast” this morning focused on energy and environmental permitting legislation that is currently moving through the Legislature. The panel was comprised of key policy makersr who will have significant impact on crafting the direction of the State’s energy future. Sen. Julie Rosen (R-Fairmont) Chair of Energy, Utilities, Technology and Communications Committee; Rep. Denny McNamara (R-Hastings) Chair of Environment Policy and Oversight Committee; Sen. Geoff Michel (R-Edina) Chair of Business, Industry and Jobs Committee; and Bill Grant, Deputy Commissioner, Office of Energy Security, answered questions from the Chamber’s Energy Policy Committee chair and from the audience.

The group was asked about baseload energy and the options available to meet the State’s future baseload energy needs. Sen. Rosen emphasized the importance of lifting the current moratoria on construction of new coal and nuclear generating facilities, and lifting the ban on importation of energy derived from coal plants located outside the state. Both the House and Senate have passed bills lifting the nuclear moratorium and that bill is now headed to a conference committee. Sen. Michel said it will be a race to see if the nuclear moratorium bill gets to the Governor’s desk before the permitting bill. It had been speculated that the nuclear bill would stay in conference committee until an agreement could be reached with the Governor, but that now doesn’t appear to be the case. The permitting bill could be on the Governor’s desk as early as next week. The coal moratorium bill has passed through one committee in the House and will be heard next week in both the House Commerce Committee and Senate Energy Committee.

That's my White YJ in the pics above. When I got my tires mounted they said I could air down to 3 o 4psi. I don't have beadlocks and thought they were crazy. I did go to 8psi with no problems. The sidewalls are about .5" thick so they'll hold you up. I've been doing this for close to 30 years and these are by far the best tires I've ran. On road they seem to be holding up well, not alot of road noise. They are about like a BFG MT, if that helps. Not as bad as a TSL Swamper. The 35's measure out at 35.5. And as far as fitting with 4" suspension & 2" body you shouldn't have to cut anything. I have the 4" but no body lift and had to trim somemore of the rear fender. I also have the 15x10's but with 3.5" backspacing and have no issues with spring rub. Hope this helps ya out.

Thanks for the post. It helps. I also have 15x10 but have to check. I might have 3.75 back space. They look like a nice tire though. What is the max psi? What psi are you running on the road?

Any of your buddies got the 35x14.5x15 bias? I was wondering what size they really are.

Also are the sidewalls on the radials as thick as the bias version? Or how close.

Floor Component of KJ?

Date 2000/11/4 0:00:00 | Topic: Liberty

One of our faithful readers sent us this image from (we're assuming) inside the KJ assembly plant - it shows what appears to be the floor component of DaimlerChrysler's next-generation Cherokee (KJ). If you look closely at the rack holding the components, you can make out the phrase, "OCS02216 KJ PAN ASSY FLOOR COMP" (at least that's what we can make out). Update - 11/5/00 - 9:37AM - we've just received word that the photos are not from inside the new KJ assembly plant, but that they're from inside a contractor's factory. Apparently, this contractor is competing for some of the outsourced work on the new KJ, and these are just sample components.

In a slightly related story (okay, we're stretching a bit), the 1984 Jeep Cherokee was recently named one of the nine most universtally revered cars by MyPrimeTime.com, a baby-boomer geared web site. Along with the 1984 Jeep Cherokee, other cars that made the list include the 1953 Corvette, 1964 GTO, and 1955 Thunderbird. Interestingly, the 1984 Cherokee was the only truck/SUV on the list. Be sure to check out the entire article.

Finally today, no big surprise here, but our beloved Jeep finished below the national average in the J.D. Power and Associates 2000 Vehicle Dependability Study. We're not sure how far below the national average because J.D. Power and Associates doesn't release any rankings or scores below the industry average - it only lists the names of the car makers who failed to surpase the average. Who were the top five, you ask? In order: Lexus, Porsche, Infiniti, Toyota, and Acura. The highest rated American car maker was Lincoln at #9. Here's the entire article if you're interested.

Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme™ provides a balanced combination of key electrolytes and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, sodium and potassium as well as important b complex vitamins in their active, bioavailable form to enhance energy production.

      Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme™ is:

      • Gluten free
      • Soy free
      • Dairy free
      • No artificial flavors or colors
      • No MSG
      • Sugar free
      • Calorie free

      Should I continue to take my Magnesium w/SRT in addition to Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme?

      Yes. Although Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme contains 20mg of magnesium, it is not nearly enough to meet your daily requirements (too much magnesium in a powder form can cause diarrhea and stomach upset).

      Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme was carefully formulated to provide balanced electrolytes to enhance hydration and add back the nutrients that plain water lacks that your body requires throughout the day.

      Want to take them on the go?  Wish granted!  Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme - Packets are now available.

      What If I Already Take Jigsaw Magnesium w/SRT?

      Jigsaw Magnesium w/SRT® is our top-rated, best-selling magnesium supplement.  (We use a tablet form to create the sustained release technology (SRT) delivery system that enables you to take higher than normal doses.)  The same form of magnesium, dimagnesium malate from Albion®, is also used in Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme, but at a much lower dose.  This enables customers to take both products at the same time.

      Does it come in any other flavors?

      Yes. This is also available in a berry flavor in both jars and packets. And, trust us, it's "berry-licious" ;)

Subjective Seascape 04, The North Sea, off Sandsend, North Yorkshire. An atmospheric fine art print taken using a lens-less Large format 5x4 pinhole plate camera.

The long exposures this process demands heightens awareness of the constant shifting environment, the push and pull of the tide and the passage of time.

Georgina chooses to use out of date film stock for her Fine Art Photography as this provides another unpredictable visual dimension to her work as she can never to certain how the film is going to react to the colours of the landscape. The end result is a subjective, minimal seascape, enigmatic, contemplative and 'Turner-esque' in mood and feel.

Sixty Chalutzim Left Canada for Israel in Fourteen Months

Download PDF for this date

Sixty Canadian chalutzim left for Israel in 14 months, from October 1950 to December 1951, according to a report submitted to the convention of the Zionist Organization of Canada by Rabbi Samuel Cass, chairman of the chalutziut committee.

Of these, 40 percent belonged to the Labor Zionists and 30 percent belonged to Hashomer Hatzair; Mizrachi and Young Judaea contributed some five percent each and the remainder were in unaffiliated and professional categories. The report also stressed certain achievements in the emigration of professionals from Canada to Israel.

Obama, Netanyahu meet at White House

(JTA) — President Obama pledged his support of Israel’s security and called the shooting deaths of four Israelis at the hands of Palestinians a "senseless slaughter."

Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a joint statement Wednesday afternoon following a 90-minute private meeting at the White House.

The U.S. leader said that Tuesday night’s attack near Hebron in the West Bank would not prevent the United States from pursuing peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Obama thanked Netanyahu for remaining committed to the process despite the attack.

"The United States is going to be unwavering in its support of Israel’s security, and we are going to push back against these kinds of terrorist attacks," Obama said. "And so the message should go out to Hamas and everyone else who is taking credit for these heinous crimes that this is not going to stop us."

Netanyahu called the current talks "open, productive, serious in the quest for peace."

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will meet with Obama later Wednesday. Netanyahu is scheduled to meet Thursday with Abbas together with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Obama gift tree to Peres won’t be uprooted

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The magnolia tree gifted from President Obama to Israeli President Shimon Peres will not have to be uprooted for approval by Israel’s Agriculture Ministry.

The ministry said Thursday that it would conduct the necessary tests in the garden of the president’s residence in Jerusalem rather than removing the tree from where it was planted a day earlier by Obama and Peres, according to a statement from Peres’ office.

Following the planting, reports surfaced that the ministry would require the tree to be dug up and brought in for quarantine and inspection, which is the protocol for bringing plants into the country in order to prevent the spread of new bugs and diseases.

Obama said he brought the tree with him on Air Force One.

Cracking the Conspiracy
Cracking the Conspiracy
What's that? You say you've never heard of Cracking the Conspiracy?
Posted: 08/01/09 | Category: Review | Developer: The PIxel Shop | Publisher: The Pixel Shop | Platform: Other

Just adventure. That's what Cracking the Conspiracy is: just adventure. No action sequences, no LAN/modem Internet play, no ground-breaking technology. Just lots of puzzles strung together by a plot. And a pretty good scenario at that; a mixture of X-Files type sleuthing embellished with various Area 51 conspiracy theories.

What's that? You say you've never heard of Cracking the Conspiracy? Can't find it in your local EB or CompUSA? That's because CTC was created over a period of two years by a pair of Wisconsin brothers, Dave and Brian Mennenoh, funded by their mother, and distributed exclusively on their Cracking the Conspiracy web site.

CTC is not a game for those who are in awe of Grim Fandango and Half-Life. Instead, it is for the traditional gamer who remembers the days when a game came out and you knew nothing about it and there was no walkthrough that let you beat it in one day. It is a game to have fun with and know that while you are playing it if you get stuck you could call or e-mail the brothers who made the game and talk to them in person. It is a throwback to the days when you knew the names of the people who created the Infocom games.

CTC begins as you receive a mysterious package from an old lover, Kelsey, who vanished years ago. The package contains a top-secret Air Force communications device that holds seven classified documents that could literally blow open the most diabolical conspiracy in history. Now it's up to you to break into the infamous Area 51, solve the password protected codes and get the communicator, and the documents, safely to Kelsey's location so she can thwart the cabal. Your journey through the bowels of Area 51 is, for the most part, extremely linear. It would have been nice if there was some deviation or unexpected twists to the plot, but the story line is solid and informative. There is much historical information here that has been culled from the Roswell Daily Record and other public documents. This attention to detail is ultimately what makes the plot so enjoyable and earns it a grade of B.

The graphics mostly remind me of Return to Zork (probably because there is an old miner very early in the game who, if he had asked me if "You want some rye. Course you do," I probably would have peed myself laughing). Cracking the Conspiracy is a 3D adventure game consisting of over 3,000 still images, 358 animations, and various characters that you can converse with. Conversation is done the old fashioned way via typing your responses on the keyboard, but the mouse is used for all navigation and puzzles. The pre-rendered graphics that bookend the game are a joy and best described as "neat." The majority of the game, though, is viewed though a first-person perspective. No 3D card or accelerated equipment is necessary and I think that is what I find most impressive about the fine graphics. Grade of B.

Every good puzzle you have ever seen in an adventure game is in CTC. Slider puzzles, math puzzles, riddles and even my all-time least favorite friggin' puzzle of all time--the maze. Two of them. Back to back! Those Mennenoh brothers are sadistic b*st*rds! (In all fairness, the mazes are quite short.) While you might think that so many different type of puzzles would not be conducive to a cohesive story that is not the case simply because the majority of the puzzles are easy enough that you never get so involved in their solutions to forget that there is also a plot. There are a few that could have been better presented, such as the door in the mines that leads to the sewers dilemma (you will recognize this puzzle if you have playedBlack Dahlia). As I was hopelessly stuck on this puzzle, I called into action my "I am hopelessly stuck on this puzzle and will never solve it before I leave this earth and go to heaven" ace-in-the-hole, my fifteen-year old son. "Dad, you're on you own," he said after several futile attempts to figure out this puzzle (we will see who is on his own next year when he wants a driver's license). Finally, at the end of my rope, Dave and Brian e-mailed me a picture of the puzzle's solution (I will be glad to share this picture with you if you purchase the game and cannot solve the puzzle). Overall, the puzzles are a compilation from every adventure game ever made and are a mixed lot that receives a grade of B-.

None of the voice-acting in CTC was performed by professionals, but it is very well done. No overacting, no poor delivery as is common in games with ten times the budget. The only complaint I have is the Duke Nukem-type grunts that the main character emits when finding an inventory item or solving a puzzle. The music and sound effects are for the most part well-chosen. Some of the better music selections were created and performed by the talented Mike Lawler. There was one section where the music drowned out the voices in Garnet Hall--a sort of Area 51 museum--but this was the only glitch I encountered. Overall, there is a general competence in this category that allows it to receive a grade of B-.

Cracking the Conspiracy ships on one disc and plays directly from your CD drive. There is no 400 MB of files to load onto your hard drive (for this reason alone you have to love this game!). The gravity of the plot is offset at opportune times by some great Easter eggs. The "voice" of Nina, the elevator music on the short people mover and the playable video machines in the cafeteria are all a great touch. The key to any adventure game is to realize that at its core, it is still just a game, and the Mennenoh brothers always seem to be winking at the too-serious gamer.

If CTC were produced by one of the big boys (Sierra or LucaArts) and 35-plus people had worked on it, I would give it a grade of C-. But this is a game literally created by two people. Sure it has its little faults--it's too easy at times, the occasional sound glitches--but it also showcases the talents of two brothers who have a bright future in the industry. I personally cannot think of anything more exciting than owning a game that no one knows about and feeling like I am the only world in the world who has discovered it! Is this game worth purchasing? For $19.95, yes it is. If you're still looking for the perfect Christmas present for the adventure gamer who has everything from Zork to Dark Side of the Moon, you could do worse with a lot of the retail sections now crowding the shelves or you can mail-order a copy of Cracking the Conspiracy.
