INTRO ******************************************************************************* Well, this is my second attempt at a decent FAQ. This guide was desgined to help people gain the many connectivity bonuses between Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town for the GameBoy Advance and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for the GameCube. Everything written down in here mostly comes from my own experiences and hours of trying to get these two games linked perfectly. From here on, Friends of Mineral Town shall be reffered to as FOMT and A Wonderful Life reffered to as AWL. Also, More Friends of Mineral Town=MFOMT and Another Wonderful Life=AnWL. Also, the guide does contain SPOILERS for both games. ***IMPORTANT NOTE*** North America has finally recieved A Wonderful Life: Special Edition for the PS2. Look in section 3.2 for info about how connectivity bonuses work. -1.2 Version Info-------------------------------------------------------------- (V1) June 1 2005: Started work on FAQ (V1) July 3 2005: Little later than expected, but finished! (V1.1)August 7 2005: Added copyright and added a message in contact info. (V2) August 31 2005: Revised info, added new sections, found Ruby's birthday! (v2.1)Nov. 7 2005: Started section for girl's version exclusives. (v2.2)Nov. 9 2005: Made small changes, fixed some of my typos, and added a question about the PS2. ******************************************************************************* 2. LINKING ******************************************************************************* -2.1 How to link--------------------------------------------------------------- IN AWL: Try to go up the path that leads out of the valley beyond Vesta's farm. The Harvest Sprites will stop you and ask if you want to link. Say yes until the screen turns white. In FOMT: Visit the Harvest Goddess' pond (the pond near the Spring Mine, look at your map if you don't know) and throw something in. Be careful about what you throw in, because that will affect her relationship with you, so throw in a flower. When she appears, say yes when she asks if you want to link to a GameCube. Her second question has one of the game's many translation errors: though she asks you if you want to STOP connecting, say yes anyway. If the GCN is ready, the two games will link. **IMPORTANT NOTE** Once both games have been linked, the files are PERMANENTLY connected and you must continue linking the same two files. If your Game Pak or Memory Card gets corrupted, causing you to erase the linked file, you will lose all your stars. I'm not sure if you will lose the other bonuses as well. -2.2 Connectivity bonuses info------------------------------------------------- The main thing earned by connecting are records that contain music from past Harvest Moon games and a record player for FOMT. 8 of the 10 records are the same in both games, however, AWL gets a seemingly orchestrated version while FOMT gets a watered-down MIDI version. Apart from records, your first time linking will net you AWL character biographies in Mary's Library in FOMT. However, the bios will only have one paragraph at the begining and if you link while still in Chapter 1 of AWL, Grant's, Samantha's and Kate's bios will be missing until you link in Chapter 2. Talk to and befriend the villagers of AWL and link more to fill up these bios. The bios can be found on the middle bookshelf on the second floor of Mary's Library. That bookshelf is empty until your first link-up. Another thing is getting new recipes in both games learned from AWL's Ruby. However, she is extremely difficult to get. Probably the biggest thing about linking is a brand-new house for you in FOMT: The Seaside Cottage. As its name suggests, the cottage is placed at Mineral Beach after collecting all 42 connectivity stars. Connectivity stars are earned depending on the info gained during a link. If you haven't linked in a long time and have progressed a lot in both games, you will net a lot stars, while constantly linking will net you very little. FOMT has the 42 stars and gains the cottage, but AWL only has 6 stars and do nothing. The Seaside Cottage of FOMT should NOT be confused with the Vacation Villa, which is earned by paying Gotz 100,000,000G and 999 pieces of lumber and the Mountain Cottage, which is earned on your 50th anniversary with your wife. -2.3 Glitches------------------------------------------------------------------ --2.3.1 The cheat-------------------------------------------------------------- There are rumors of a cheat that can be used to gain 42 FOMT stars easily. But, by personal experience, this cheat only worked once for me, didn't work to its said potential and never worked again. I'll list it here anyway. WHat to do is, do the linking as normal. Once done, reset your GameCube. Because of this, you might want to save your game beforehand. Once the GCN has reset, load the file and link again. You should gain the exact numnber of stars you did before resetting. However, the glitch may only work with a certain star categories. (See section 2.4 for more detail.) --2.3.2 Text oopsies----------------------------------------------------------- In AWL, the Harvest Sprites will sometimes say Van will bring a new item, or Ruby may teach you a new recipe after linking, even though you've bought all the records/learned all the recipes. This is a small glitch and you can ignore what they say. -2.4 Star Categories----------------------------------------------------------- After discussing a lot with user Zephyr_Leone, we seemed to have agreed that that the connectivity stars are separated into 4 categories. It looks like updating Mary's AWL bios do not earn stars. The star mentioned here affect using AWL data to update FOMT's linking data. SHIPPING The biggest star earner is your shipping progress. In AWL, shipping means using the bins in the food storage room, so Takaura gets you the money, NOT selling to Van. However, this means you're limited to eggs, cow produce and (when you get the crop shipping bin) 3rd generation hybrids. Since the only limit on shipping is the length of the game, you can continually obtain stars in this category. PROGRESS Another big star earner is simply progressing through the game. But not just dawdling through. Hard work progress in both FOMT and AWL will be rewarded with stars. You also may get freebie stars for changing chapters in AWL. VAN You get very little stars from gaining records in both games, but a few stars nonetheless. RUBY Like Van, you can gain a few stars by learning Ruby's recipes. -2.5 Van----------------------------------------------------------------------- After all that rambling, we're almost ready to go deeper into the linking experience. First, let me give you a little bit of background. Van is a travel- ing merchant that appears in AWL on the 3rd and 8th of every season. At first, he doesn't sell much, but by linking, you can make him sell the records. By linking properly, he will appear in FOMT and sell records as well as the record player. FOMT's merchant, Won, seems to have an accquaintance with Van. **NOTE** In FOMT, everyone has a birthday, whereas in AWL, no one does. Van however, gains a birthday when linking. In FOMT, Van's birthday is Spring 19. But, you can only give him a birthday present every 7 years (starting with Year 7) since it's only every seven years Spring 19 lands on a Wednesday. --2.5.1 Van' bonuses----------------------------------------------------------- Once Van is unlocked in FOMT, linking will update his merchandise in both games In FOMT, Van's shop is located on the second floor of Doug's Inn every Wednes- day. In AWL, he will set up shop from 12PM-6PM beside the Inner Inn on the 3rd and 8th of every season, as well as random days in between. Here's a list of Van's merchandise of FOMT as well as the prices for the records in AWL. Remeber that all records are from past Harvest Moon games. In FOMT, the records are identified by numbers. In AWL, the records are identified by actual names and a special description For the records in FOMT, the records go up in price by 100G each record. In AWL, the prices are grouped according to game origin. Format: Record #/Item name (AWL record name/Game console name) My description FOMT: price AWL: price --- Record Player Allows a FOMT player to change farm/forest/mountain music at will FOMT: 2,000G AWL: Already owned Record 1 (Spring Song/Super Nintendo Entertainment System) Put in a record player to play the original Harvest Moon's Spring theme. FOMT: 500G AWL: 430G Record 2 (Town Spirit/Super Nintendo Entertainment System) Put in a record player to play the original Harvest Moon's Event theme. FOMT: 600G AWL: 430G Record 3 (Flower Bud Fall/Nintendo 64) Put in a record player to play Harvest Moon's 64 Fall theme. FOMT: 700G AWL: 600G Record 4 (64 Memories/Nintendo 64) Put in a record player to play Harvest Moon's 64 opening theme. FOMT: 800G AWL: 600G Record 5 (Marin Jazz/PlayStation) Put in a record player to play the girl's theme from Back To Nature. FOMT: 900G AWL: 640G Record 6 (Butterfly/PlayStation) Put in a record player to play the love theme from Back To Nature. FOMT: 1,000G AWL: 640G Record 7 (Summer Memories/PlayStation 2) Put in a record player to play Save The Homeland's summer theme. FOMT: 1,100G AWL: 810G Record 8: (Joy of fall/PlayStation 2) Put in a record plater to play Save The Homeland's fall theme. FOMT: 1,200G AWL: 810G **IMPORTANT NOTE** Records 9 and 10 are different for each game. FOMT gains two tunes from AWL and vise versa. Record 9 of FOMT (N/A/GameCube) Put in the record player to play A Wonderful Life's record "Quiet Winter" FOMT: 1,300G AWL: N/A Record 10 of FOMT (N/A/GameCube) Put in the record player to play A Wonderful Life's tune played at night at the Blue Bar. This tune is also used during the tutorials. FOMT: 1,400G AWL: N/A Record 9 of AWL (Winter HM/GameBoyAdavance) Put in the record player to play Friends of Mineral Town's winter theme. FOMT: N/A AWL: 900G Record 10 of AWL (The Bride/GameBoyAdvance) Put in the record player to play the wedding theme from Friends of Mineral Town FOMT: N/A AWL: 900G OTHER FOMT MERCHANDISE Copper Use it to upgrade tools to Lv2.

FOMT: 400G AWL: N/A --2.5.2 How to gain Van's Bonuses---------------------------------------------- Van is relatively simple to earn for FOMT. The first thing you want to do is befriend him in AWL. You'll know he's your friend if he turns his head to you when you pass each other in movement. Once this is done, follow the steps below 1. In FOMT, make sure that your next Wednesday has no holidays or animal festival registrations on it. 2. Link AWL and FOMT. 3. In FOMT, when that Wednesday rolls around, WALK OUT OF YOUR HOUSE first thing in the morning. If you have the Teleport Stone and use it to leave the house, you'll lose Van. During Van's introduction, you should notice that he says his name is Van, yet his name box reads Lou. Another translation error. 4. Go to Doug's Inn and go up to the 2nd floor. talk to Van from across his "counter" and purchase the Record Player and Record 1. The total bill will be 2,500G, so it's inexpensive at this point. 5. Once you've purchased the items, talk to Van DIRECTLY. Keep talking until he mentions about going back to Forget-Me-Not Valley (AWL's location.) 6. Link the two games. In AWL, the Sprites should mention Van getting a new item. 7. When Van appears in AWL, look through his merchandise with the L and R buttons and purchase the record "Spring Song." 8. Now, without anything in your hands, talk to Van until he mentions going back to Mineral Town (FOMT's location) 9. Link up again. 10. Repeat steps 4-10 until all records are obtained. -2.6 Ruby---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ruby is the second AWL villager that will make weekly visits to Mineral Town. However, instead of buying stuff from her, she will teach you recipes for you to cook. Also unlike Van, the list of recipies differ from each game since each game has a different cooking system. As for background, Ruby is Tim's wife and together they run the Inner Inn. They were both world travelers, but met and settled in Forget Valley. Ruby loves to cook and her travels have taught her many recipes. In AWL, she can be found in the Inn early in the morning and often goes to the "forest" in the afternoon In FOMT, she can be found in one of the rooms on the second floor of Doug's Inn every Sunday. **NOTE** Like Van, Ruby gains a birthday for FOMT during linking. Identical to Van's, her birthday is Spring 19. --2.6.1 Ruby's bonuses--------------------------------------------------------- Ruby teaches you 10 recipes in both games, yet each game gets different recipes Thanks to GameFAQs user samurai goroh for indentifing the 10 FOMT recipes, seeing I sort of had "cheated" my recipe list. FOMT RECIPES Wild Grape Juice Utensils: Pot Ingredients: Wild Grape, Wine, Purple Grass Corn Flakes Utensils: Frying Pan, Rolling Pin Ingredients: Corn Buckwheat Chips Untensils: Pot Ingredients: Buckwheat Flour Mountain Stew Untensils: Knife, Pot, Seasoning: Sugar, Seasoning: Soy Sauce Ingredients: Carrot, Mushroom, Bamboo Shoot Toasted Rice Cake Untensils: Oven Ingredients: Rice Cake Baked Corn Untensils: Oven, Seasoning: Salt Ingredients: Corn Vegetable Juice Untensils: Mixer Ingredients: Carrot (or any VEGETABLE) Curry bread Untensils: Frying Pan Ingredients: Oil, Bread, Curry Apple Souffl� Untensils: Frying Pan Ingredients: Any type of apple One recipe is missing. If you know it, contact me. AWL recipes The AWL cooking system is different that FOMT's. You start by choosing a meal group, then choosing three items to cook with. You start out with Soup and Salad as the meal groups, but keep cooking to unlock more. Also, I am missing 2 recipes for AWL that Ruby teaches you. Again, if you know them, contact me. Gratin (Entree) Cheese, Butter, Milk Marinade (Salad) Fish, Turnip, Mugwort Meunere Set (Entr�e) Fish, Butter Omelet (Entr�e?) Egg, Butter Peach Tart (Dessert) Peach, Butter, Egg Potato Soup (Soup) Potato, wild herb, Mushroom Tomatoma Soup (Soup) Tomato, Soup Yam Soup (Soup) Sweet Potato --2.6.2 How to get Ruby's bonuses---------------------------------------------- Ruby is quite hard, and seems random, but one fact is set in stone: be extremely good friends with her in AWL. Another factor is that you might need to cook 10 different recipes in AWL beforehand. 1. Once you think that you're good enough friends, link AWL and FOMT. 2. This time, wait until a free Sunday comes by and WALK OUT OF YOUR HOUSE FIRST THING. If she's there, ignore what she says and go to the 2nd floor of Doug's Inn. She will be there every Sunday, regardless if you've linked for a new recipe or not. 3. In the room that Ann likes to hang out in, Ruby should be there. Talk to her, and she should teach you a recipe. 4. Link back to AWL. The Sprites will mention that Ruby will teach you a new recipe after the link. 5. In AWL, keep talking to Ruby until she teaches you a recipe. 6. Link back to FOMT 7. On a Sunday, talk to Ruby and she should teach you another recipe. 8. Repeat steps 4-8 until 10 recipes have been taught to you. -2.7 Mary's Library Bonuses---------------------------------------------------- Like mentioned before, Mary's Library in FOMT gain character bios of the AWL villagers. The only characters that DON'T get bios are your son and Tartan. If you first link in AWL'S Chapter 1, Grant's, Samantha's and Kate's bios will be listed as missing until a link during AWL's Chapter 2. Talk to and befriend the villagers to fill up the bios. For now, here's the transcript of the bios that I currently have. --2.7.1 Biography transcript (FOMT)-------------------------------------------- Note that the names are really screwed up in FOMT.I'll make sure you know who's who. ;) Whatever is typed here matches EXACTLY in the game, so don't bother me with spelling and grammar mistakes. Profiles are taken from FOMT. If any changes were made to the bios in MFOMT, I don't have them listed yet. *********************PLEASE REMEMBER THESE ARE SPOILERS!*********************** Takakura (Tak) Works on the farm with .

Along with other new things included, they also recieved exclusive linking content, which means more work on my part. While this section is INCOMPLETE and currently lacks the detail I want, here's a basic overview of what is exclusive to MFOMT and AnWL. --2.8.1 Van's new business (MFOMT)--------------------------------------------- While playing MFOMT, you'll randomly recieve an item called "Van's Favorite Thing" in the mail. You can do two things with this item. The first is to sell it to Won (after unlocking his "Sell to" ability) for 48,000G-57,000G. The 2nd thing you can do with it is once Van begins to arrive in Mineral Town, you can give it to him, and he'll randomly offer you one of six awsome items or, offer nothing and ask if you want to buy back the item. Prevent this by saving before you give him the bottle. The six items are: (all items cost 1 million G to buy from Van) FORMAT: Name (WS:Won's offer to buy once "sell option" is unlocked) Description All about BGM (WS:480,000G-570,000G) Put this in your Record Player to listen to the background music of MFOMT. Unlike the other records, you can't put it in and listen to the selected song while working on the farm. You'll only be able to listen to a track while the song select is open. All about Books (WS:50,000G) Bring this book to Mary's Libary, hold it over your head and press A on the left corner bookshelf on the first floor. The book has everything about the Library? All about Letters (WS:50,000G) Like above, bring it to Mary's Library to read all the letters in the game w/o recieving them first. Riddle Book (WS:480,000G-570,000G) Test your knowledge of MFOMT! You'll be asked all sorts of questions, ranging from shipping prices to villager's birthdays. The questions can be hard, for example, when you're asked the effects of a Poisonous Mushroom (FYI, that would be -50 on your Stamina points, so don't eat one!) Shopping Master (WS: 99,999,999G) W00T! If you don't take advantage of the insane Won price to get the Vacation Villa, this item can allow you to buy items from any shop from the comfort of your main house. Hold the box over your head and press A on your Mirror. Like I said, any item, any shop, any time. Even Van's shop! TV Changer (WS:50,000G) With this item over your head, watch the Variety Channel (Left on the Control Pad) and choose any episode of any variety show to watch. Even sweeter? It works on the Vacation Villa's TV's variety channel as well! --2.8.2 The Riddle Book: Q&A (MFOMT)------------------------------------------- Because The Riddle Book is a connectivity item, the questions & answers can be found here. The section isn't complete, but GFAQs user samurai goroh gets all credit for this section in it's current state. Correct answers have a * next to it. 1 cow in the small barn. How many spaces left?

Nov 30, 2014Its s***. I guess they ran out of ideas so they came up with thinking zombies. What a load of c***. Story is horrible, actors are horrible and the entire movie is one giant waste of time.
Mar 3, 2012A brainless 95 minute poetry reading where a zombie movie should've been.
May 3, 2012If you're looking for fun **** this is your zombie movie. If you want decent film-making, stay away. This movie is garbage to anyone expecting anything remotely serious.
Jun 8, 2014That´s the worst Zombie production I have ever seen. Brainless, boring script, cheap story. Please: WHO gives that production more than 1 point. I really don´t understand that.
George A. Romero shows 'em how it's done in Land of the Dead, resurrecting his legendary franchise with top-flight visuals, terrific genre smarts and tantalizing layers of implication.
The latest installment could well be Romero's masterpiece. Taking full advantage of state-of-the-art makeup and visual effects, he has a more vivid canvas at his disposal, not to mention two decades worth of pent-up observations about American society.

Finished Kitchen - Soapstone and Slab Cherry
I couldn't have done this kitchen without GardenWeb. I've been planning this for almost 2 years and reading everyone's questions helped me figure out what my answers would be. It helped keep the stress down considerably. Where do I want the faucet? Off to the side. Where do we want the pulls? In the middle and a little up. Undercabinet lighting in Xenon? No, LED please. What type of cabinets? Slab full overlay, and yes, I do want the grain going horizontally. That's really not as common here as it is on GW.
I felt so prepared, knew what questions to ask, what to look out for, and it was all because of you guys. Thank you!
We also vetted our GC very thoroughly. I went to two homes he had done projects in. One a full 1st floor remodel and the other a 2 guest bath and guest bedroom remodel. We also saw a kitchen he was just finishing up. We spoke to the home owners about their experience and it made us feel very comfortable going with them. If anyone in the Austin area wants a rec, let me know. As one of the homeowners said…they aren't the cheapest in town, but you get what you pay for.
Here are the products:
Custom framed cabinets, natural cherry slab with horizontal grain and full overlay (Total grain matching would have been an extra $3500 and I just couldn't do it since I'd said no to the Wolf range DH wanted. However, at install I saw that all the upper doors ARE grain matched which is so lovely. I don't mind that the lower drawers are not since there's no place in the kitchen you get a really good look at them)
Fridge: Samsung 4 drawer 36" RF4287HARS
Range: KitchenAid Freestanding Double Oven- gas KGRS505XSS
Hood: KitchenAid 30" Hood KXW4330YSS
Dishwasher: KitchenAid Dishwasher KUDE70FXSS (DH wanted a Miele but it didn't fit our dishes well. So glad we tried it out in the showroom first. He really wanted the silverware tray and the KitchenAid had that)
Countertop: Anasazi Soapstone from Austin Dorado. We also used this as the backsplash. They said we needed 3 slabs for the countertops, so I basically said, ok, what else can I get out of them since I have to buy the entire slabs. We like the look and it made the backsplash choice angst-free.
Backsplash behind the range: Sheet of stainless steel with a random scratch pattern on it
Sink: Blanco Silgranit II Super Single in Anthracite
Faucet: Kohler Karbon-black with stainless steel (thought this was ugly until I played with it in a showroom. Love the functionality)
Pulls: Berenson Aspire
Floors: Tile: Earthwerks Boardwalk Plank - color Venice Beach
Lessons learned:
Document everything and double check as things are delivered. I discovered the tile guy had picked up the wrong grout and they were able to get a new bag before any grouting had been done. So glad I double checked the color.
If something looks off to you, measure! The electrician had installed two plugs too low on the wall and it would have hit a 4 inch backsplash. They were able to move them up before the drywall was put up.
Don't expect people to think like you. I told the GC I wanted to have a meeting with the fabricator for templating the countertops. So glad I did. There was a large black blotch on the slabs and they said they'd try to get that in the sink cutout. I told him my priority was a good seam. If that meant the black blotch was to the side of the sink that was ok. It's a natural stone and weird things happen. I wanted the one seam we needed to be terrific. Also, they wanted to get the countertop and backsplash all from the same area so it looked like one section flowing to the next. However, the peninsula is a large section and the area they wanted to use was not as pretty as an area right next to it. I pointed out that I'd rather have the other section and was ok with the backsplash being different. In that one area I was going to have the paper towel holder and large canisters anyways so you wouldn't see much of the backsplash. A pretty peninsula was more important.
Again, thanks to everyone for taking the time to ask questions, post pictures, and share your experience.
And here's the after! It took 8 weeks to do and was fully permitted. The bright circle in the middle is a SolaTube and it brings in so much light it's crazy. We also replaced the door and bay window with a sliding door which made a huge difference.
The link for the full library shows a lot of the inside organizational things we did and close ups on the soapstone.
Here is a link that might be useful: Full set of pictures
Holy cow! This is just awesome. I love your kitchen. I have a very small galley and I hope to do something similar in terms of opening it up partially. Your cabinets and soapstone are just such a perfect combination - congratulations and hope you're enjoying the final product!
You did a great job! What a transition. I am in love with your wood cabinet choice, of course your soapstone which is a crown jewelry and even your choice of Berenson Aspire pulls.
Congratulations. May you have many special memories ahead.
What a huge difference between the before and afters! I love the sleek modern look and the gorgeous contrast between the cherry and the soapstone -- such a beautiful kitchen!
I also really enjoyed reading about how GW helped you. I had a similar experience. I overheard my contractor and my KD talking about how I always knew the answer and seemed to have researched everything to the max. Which, thanks to GW, I had, lol.
Thanks everyone!
granjan - yes, the first time my husband pointed it out, I said he was crazy and it was too ugly. Then we went down to a Ferguson showroom with my MIL and she too said 'that one? Ew!' and then both of us fell in love with it as we moved it around and adjusted it. She ended up buying it for us! The thing I like most about it is when I'm washing a few things by hand, I can move the faucet to be very close to me so I don't have to lean forward to rinse things off.
I bought this 1979 house in '04 and when DH moved in, we agreed to remodel the insides instead of buying a new, larger house. We've done the master suite and now the kitchen. Just need to save up for the rest of the house. This is why I joke with people that even though we're putting in $100-$130k into this house, we're SAVING $100k because we didn't buy the bigger, more expensive house! We plan to stay here forever so we're not too worried about not getting the money back. We just want to enjoy it now.
I love your cherry wood cabinets, your gorgeous soapstone your choice of Berenson Aspire pulls and your gorgeous floors. I looked up what your Floors were and was amazed they were tile as they look like real hardwood floors with such pretty coloring that is not too dark or too light. I copies and highlighted "Tile: Earthwerks Boardwalk Plank - color Venice Beach " and learned more.
Amazing transformation! Love the changes you made in your kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
lynn2006...the funny thing is that my husband said he hated the tile that looks like wood, so I completely ignored those while searching for tile. Then we were at a local tile shop and passed by a display for the Boardwalk Plank tiles and he said hey, I like that! But it's tile! He said, yeah, but that's really well done! I agreed, it was in the budget (about $5.50/sq ft), and the search was complete.
ppbenn...the kitchen was finished last week and we've run it 3 times so far. It's incredibly quiet. As for cleaning, I think it's fine. We had a Kenmore before that I loved, and that cleaned great too. The plastics are still wet, but we don't use the dry function. We just open it when it's done and they air dry very quickly. I haven't really tested it yet with cooked-on gunk. We do really love the utensil rack. No more dirty nested spoons.
How were you able to upload more than 1 picture on the same message?
I was only able to upload one using the box below?
Image file to upload (optional):...............
Beautifully done. I am in the beginning of planning for a new kitchen renovation and this is helpful.
The thread about 'New to Kitchens?...' has a link to how to post pictures. I followed the instructions about the photobucket account and copying the html that Photobucket gives you. You paste in the crazy html in the text and when you hit preview, you can see the pictures.
TexasPenny, I have the same dishwasher I bought in the last quarter of 2009 and I love it especially the upper utensil rack that I never had before. I kept going back and forth between the Bosch or the KitchenAid but the KitchenAid was larger inside to wash more dishes at the same time was my conclusion.
I would have never guessed your floor was tile until I copied and pasted the link and realized you did mention it was tile and then it was described as tile. It is so realistic and beautiful. Glad your husband liked it also.
Again, enjoy your kitchen and thanks for sharing.

Wow this is just beautiful! I love your cabinets, they are fabulous, and the hardware you chose is just perfect with them. The soapstone looks great with your cabinetry. And the tile floors ... wow! ... can't believe that is tile, it looks amazing.
Congrats on your beautiful new kitchen. You did an amazing job.
PS. your MIL sounds like a wonderful lady to go shopping with. :-)
Thanks everyone! I kept basically the same layout with the peninsula, just took out the upper cabs and wall to the family room. The pantry and vertical storage is my favorite part too. The deep drawers on the bottom are great. It allowed the pantry doors to be one sheet of veneer since they were short enough. At first I was going to have vertical storage over the fridge, as I've seen done here. But, I'm only 5'4" and putting it over the pantry made it much easier to get into.
Can hardly believe this is the same kitchen! I love how you added the counter near the slider, extended the sink counter, and opened up the upper wall. And your cabs, soapstone, and hardware make my heart flutter! I've always loved soapstone, but never thought about using it as a backsplash; I absolutely love how you did that! I'm sure you'll enjoy your new kitchen for many years to come!

i hate gaming on the i-phone. Developers are wasting their time making games for people to play on the crapper.
There is a whole generation of software managers and executives, those who spent their managerial "youth" during the rise of Microsoft Windows (and the prosperity that it brought Microsoft), who see creating a "platform" as the sole purpose of software development.
Software for them isn't about satiating the need of any existing consumers or businesses. Rather, it is about providing some abstract "platform" that will become "ubiquitous", and make them "wealthy".
They take this the-platform-is-everything mindset and try to apply it just about everywhere. Any time there's a new technology, you have these fools rushing to become "the platform". Of course 99.99999% of them get nowhere, because this whole idea of providing a "platform" is fucking stupid in the first place.
The minority of software developers who do write software to help others with real problems end up falling victim to these dipshits. We get dragged into their "platform wars", when all we want to do is write applications to help other people or businesses work more efficiently.
Often, the "platform" we are using is irrelevant, because we are using a whole range of higher-level libraries to abstract away these different "platforms"!
Not really, no.
If you take into account the time aspect, Apple products have become quite affordable. My MacBook Pro certainly did cost more than a generic notebook and most brand products, but it has lasted me longer than most other machines I had. Since a computer is pretty much a constant in my life, "purchase price" really isn't the valid value. "Average cost per year" or something would be, and on that, I dare say the MBP was cheaper than most alternatives.
Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.

But how come for the founding fathers didn't remember the internets?!?!
Seriously though, that shows initiative to maintain communications infrastructure. I'm pretty sure they'd be in favor of a government controlled base medium (i.e. open wireless channels) that can be leased and operated by private companies. If another company can come in and offer the same services for less money, then you'll have competition. The current state of affairs is a small group of monopolies (no, not an oligopoly, in my area, as in many, there is only one provider allowed) colluding to pretty much screw everyone. It's a broken system and it's why we're so far behind other developed nations.
Sorry, maybe I didn't make myself clear.
You are correct that iOS currently has more users than Android.
You are incorrect in stating that iOS devices are outselling Android devices.
Ergo, the truth lies between your assertion that iOS is more popular and outselling Android and others assertions that Android is more popular than iOS.
As is typical in arguments like this, the truth is somewhere in between.
If analytic firms (and their summaries on Wikipedia) are to be believed (and for this I'm too lazy to do real follow up), then iOS is currently #2, but should be supplanted sometime in 2011 or 2012 (read paragraphs 3-4).
Android is gaining market share primarily at the expense of RIM.

X-treme Microbes — Text-only | Flash Special Report
Radiation Eaters
Not so long ago, everyone believed that the primary source of energy for all life was sunlight. Even for carnivores: After all, they eat herbivores that eat vegetation produced by photosynthesis. Ditto for bacteria stuck in the perpetual dark of the human gut, or for lightless ocean-bottom ecosystems that utilize oxygen dissolved in seawater—oxygen created by sunshine in plants and algae above. Ultimately, it seemed, everything depended on the Sun.
But in the 1960s, scientists began discovering exotic organisms that play by astonishingly different rules, such as microbes living in near-boiling water or high-acidity environments. Now, a team searching deep in a South African gold mine has found one that redefines the very limits of life: Bacteria that subsist in rock at huge pressure for thousands of years by 'eating' by-products of radioactivity, completely isolated from any organic matter or effects of photosynthesis.
Tullis Onstott of Princeton University, Lisa Pratt of Indiana University and colleagues think the microbes may have first trickled down there between three and 25 million years ago. The microbes were forced to survive on the leftovers that result when radioactivity from uranium, thorium and potassium in the native rock breaks down molecules of water, prompting a sequence of chemical reactions that produce hydrogen peroxide, break down pyrite, and form sulfates.
They developed a way of taking metabolic advantage of these reactions that is very different from the processes used by their conventional topside cousins.
These rock-dwellers may be some of above-ground life's oldest relatives. Pratt and Onstott suspect that they're probably not much different now than when they were separated from the surface, because they grow very slowly to conserve scarce nutrients.
In fact, 'very slowly' is an understatement: Whereas E. coli, like those found in the intestines of mammals, divide every day or so, the subsurface microbes reproduce once a year at most, and possibly only every 300 years … or more!
So far, researchers haven't been able to grow them in the lab under the microbes' natural conditions. But they are working on genomic sequencing to evaluate how closely related the newly discovered bacteria are to other extremophiles and surface organisms.
In the future, those studies may change the way instruments look for life on Mars. And they may even begin to answer the question: Did life on Earth begin underground?

City's far West Side still raising the roofs
Area continues to be top-performing housing submarket
- Tricia Lynn Silva
A New York-based firm's recently announced plan to invest in developing a 2,000-home community on the edge of San Antonio simply reinforces what many in the city's real estate community already know.
When it comes to residential real estate, it's good to look west — specifically far West.
Earlier this month, the Kalikow Group, which is based in Westbury, N.Y., announced that it had entered into a joint venture to develop 610 acres of land along Loop 1604 and U.S. Highway 90. The joint venture, operating under the name KEP Luckey Ranch Global LP, plans to create a master-planned community called Luckey Ranch that would include upwards of 2,000 single-family homes and some commercial development.
The Kalikow Group declined to divulge specific details about its financial investment in Luckey Ranch, or the targeted price range for homes in the project. Kalikow Group President and CEO Edward Kalikow states, however, that given San Antonio's growing job market, there is "increased demand for single family homes.
"We are very excited to be involved with this project," he adds.
Luckey Ranch, however, is only one of several communities to spring up along the terrain of far West San Antonio over the past few years. And even as San Antonio continues to struggle with housing market corrections, the far West side of the city is still proving to be a magnet for developers and homebuilders.
Luckey Ranch, note Kalikow officials, will be located within one of the hot spots of the far West Side market — known as Donut Hole, Texas.
It was Dallas-based developer Chip Field who first coined the now-popular phrase. It refers to the acreage that is roughly bordered by U.S. Highway 90 on the south, Westover Hills on the east, Government Canyon State Park on the north and the Bexar County line on the west.
As Field explained to the Business Journal in a story from late 2007: "Donut Hole earned its name because of the huge demographic demand in far West San Antonio being focused on a limited supply. That is, the desirable land is boxed in by various barriers to development on all sides."
Since entering the market in 2004, Field has been involved in the purchase and/or sale of several thousand of acres of land within the Donut Hole — from residential projects like Stevens Ranch to commercial projects like The Orchard.
It is within the Donut Hole that housing communities like Redbird Ranch, Ladera and Bella Vista — which are still in the process of being built out — are contributing to the growing sea of rooftops in far West San Antonio. All told, between these existing projects and the planned Luckey Ranch development, more than 7,500 homes are slated to be added to the far West Side submarket over the next several years.
Here and now
In the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2006, the local housing market recorded more than 19,500 new-home starts, and there were in excess of 16,000 new-home closings.
The market has calmed considerably since then. According to the first-quarter 2009 report by Houston-based housing research firm Metrostudy, for the 12 months ended March 31, construction began on 7,762 new homes in the greater San Antonio area. All told, over that same time period, there were 9,847 new single-family home-sale closings.
But through the highs and the lows, far West San Antonio has consistently been one of the city's top performing submarkets. In fact, since 1980, this area has been the No. 1 market for new housing development, according to Metrostudy research.
"This is still the most active area of town, and nothing is going to change in the near future," says Randall Allsup, manager of the San Antonio and Rio Grande Valley regions at Metrostudy.
The driving factor: The availability of developable land, real-estate insiders say. While issues like the Edwards Aquifer and more difficult topography have driven up the price of land in others areas of the city, far West San Antonio still has land at a reasonable price — and has thus attracted many of the production-type affordable builders, Allsup says.
As the home to major employers like Citicorp, the Texas Research Park and JPMorgan Chase Bank, the far West Side has been one of the city's leading employment hubs, adds Deborah Bauer, president of locally based real estate firm Drake Commercial Group LLC. Bauer has represented several large land developers in the far West sector, including Chip Field.
While the pace of development has slowed with the recession, and some projects have gone by the wayside, many of the developers that staked their claims in the far West market remain well-capitalized, notes Brett Baillio, a partner in First American Commercial Property Group — which is marketing the Redbird Ranch community.
Thus, they have the ability to "hold on and weather the storm" that is blowing through the current housing market, Baillio adds.
Stone Oak revisited
Bauer contends that far West San Antonio — including the land within the Donut Hole — is on track to ultimately mirror another housing/retail/employment mecca in the city: Stone Oak.
But the far West market still has some growing up to do, says Allsup, pointing to a lack of move-up housing options in this sector.
"There have been some higher-end communities, but they have not had as much success," he adds.
Bauer points to communities like Bella Vista and Briggs Ranch to counter that claim. The former includes homes ranging in price from $170,000s to the upper $300,000s.
Briggs Ranch, meanwhile, boasts custom homes that range in price from $650,000 to $6 million.
Unlike Stone Oak, which was slow to add new employers, far West San Antonio already has those in place, Bauer adds.
Even though, like other residential pockets in the city, the far West Side has struggled in the current economic downturn, the area is now "poised and ready to come back," Bauer says.

There's nothing Gov. Mark Dayton can do to stop a voter ID constitutional amendment from appearing on the November ballot.
But he's issued a symbolic veto of the legislation that created the ballot amendment anyway.
"Although I do not have the power to prevent this unwise and unnecessary constitutional amendment from appearing on the Minnesota ballot...the Legislature has sent it to me in the form of a bill," Dayton told reporters at a Monday press conference. "Thus, I am exercising my legal responsibility to either sign or veto the amendment...I am vetoing."
The governor made a similar symbolic veto of last year's ballot proposal that would amend the Minnestoa constitution to ban gay marriage. Both amendments will be on the general election ballot, and Datyton said he would do "everything in my power" to encourage voters to vote both of them down.
The idea of requiring voters to prove that they are who they say they are has been consistently popular in the polls. So popular, that Dayton accused the House and Senate GOP leadership of passing "whatever polls well," this session.

Abstract: In recent work, Beukers characterized -hypergeometric systems having a full set of algebraic solutions. He accomplished this by (1) determining which -hypergeometric systems have a full set of polynomial solutions modulo for almost all primes and (2) showing that these systems come from geometry. He then applied a fundamental theorem of N. Katz, which says that such systems have a full set of algebraic solutions. In this paper we establish some connections between nonresonant -hypergeometric systems and de Rham-type complexes, which leads to a determination of which -hypergeometric systems come from geometry. We do not use the fact that the system is irreducible or find integral formulas for its solutions.
