An "Internet-scale citizen science game" is helping scientists at Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University and Seoul National University better understand the design rules for creating RNA structures. As a recently published paper on the project explained, "an online community can carry out large-scale experiments, generate hypotheses and design better algorithms to advance science."
"RNA design rules from a massive open laboratory," published in January by the National Academy of Sciences, described EteRNA, which lets people create RNA designs. RNA, as the game explains, are tiny molecules in every cell that play "critical roles" in the processes of biology, from genetic regulation to viral replication.
To understand how RNA molecules work, some of the same researchers behind Foldit, a massively popular protein folding game, developed EteRNA and invited people to manipulate the building blocks of RNA. The game has drawn 37,000 "enthusiasts" to the design puzzles. The best design results as voted by the players themselves have been synthesized in labs at Stanford.
The process of creating those designs have taught both the players and the scientists new rules about what works and what doesn't work when it comes to the engineering of RNA. Those rules, in turn, have led to the development of an automated algorithm, EteRNABot, which outperforms previous RNA manipulation algorithms in a dozen tests.
Ultimately, the researchers have found that the community and the EteRNABot have "significantly outperformed" previous approaches to the problem of reengineering RNA molecules.
"The quality of the designs produced by the online EteRNA community is just amazing and far beyond what any of us anticipated when we began this project three years ago," said Adrien Treiulle, an assistant professor of computer science and robotics at Carnegie Mellon.
Treiulle leads the project with Rhiju Das, an assistant professor of biochemistry at Stanford, and Jeehyung Lee, a Ph.D. student in computer science at Carnegie Mellon.
"This wouldn't be possible if EteRNA members were just spitting out designs using online simulation tools," he said. "By actually synthesizing the most promising designs in Das's lab at Stanford, we're giving our community feedback about what works and doesn't work in the physical world. And, as a result, these non-experts are providing us insight into RNA design that is significantly advancing the science."
The report stated that computers could generate designs in less than a minute, while most people would take one or two days; synthesizing the molecules to determine the success and quality took a month for each design, so the entire experiment lasted about a year.
The designs produced by humans had a 99 percent likelihood of being superior to those of the prior computer algorithms, while EteRNABot produced designs with a 95 percent likelihood of besting the prior algorithms.
"The quality of the community's designs is so good that even if you generated thousands of designs with computer algorithms, you'd never find one as good as the community's," Lee said. "Most players didn't have tactical insights on RNA designs," he added. "They would just recognize patterns — visual patterns."
Now the research project is looking to expand its "game" to include three-dimensional designs. The scientists are also developing a template for other researchers to use to turn their own scientific projects into online challenges.
EteRNA is supported by funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Research Foundation of Korea, Google, and the W.M. Keck Foundation.

Fahadahmad222 necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 82 design presentati da 18 designer.
Bang MMA
My business partner and I are avid followers of Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) and we are launching a new apparel brand name(Bang MMA) in the mixed martial arts/sports arena. Over the years we have seen the sport evolve from a small background to a multi-billion dollar industry. This growth has produced several companies vying for the MMA apparel market share. Although some of these companies have seen rapid growth, we feel like their designs lack ingenuity and often times come across as monotonous. We are trying to change that by offering an alternative that represents fighting mantra that is not just restricted to MMA. We are going to offer a brand name that embodies battling against any opponent or obstacle no matter how overpowering it may seem and facing life head on with a fighting, "bang"-ing mentality.
Target demograph is primarily 18-55 year old males but does not categorically exclude others. Ideal target is 22-35 year old athletic male that is somewhat bored with the redundancy of MMA Apparel.
A bold, high impact Logo design that can carry the message through to the targeted audience. The logo has to present attitude and an controlled aggression. NO brush font please. Logo has to be screen print friendly as it will be used on fabric. All ideas and directions are welcome as long the fighting mantra of "Bang MMA" comes through.

The government should look at rewarding "good citizens" to knock on their neighbours' doors and demand why their children are not in school, the chief inspector of schools has said.
Ofsted's chief inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, told MPs that, as a former headteacher, he "saw the result of children being brought up badly by their parents" and communities should play more of a role in supporting problem families.
He said social workers needed more guidance on how to interact with difficult families and, if necessary, tell them they are bad parents.
Wilshaw said: "These families need to know that they can't go on treating their children like this, they can't go on behaving in this manner and they've got to hit the targets that are being set by social workers.
"As a headteacher I used to tell parents that they were behaving badly and that they were bad parents. It didn't often go down extremely well but nevertheless that was my responsibility and it's a responsibility of social workers."
Wilshaw referred to the phrase "a child is brought up by the village". He told the Commons education select committee: "Well, communities have got a big part to play in supporting our most difficult families and most vulnerable children."
He said: "In my experience in the most difficult communities there are always going to be good people who want to help. How do you incentivise good citizens, good people, good family members to engage with the most difficult members of society, and that's a policy issue for government.
"How do you financially incentivise these people to get up in the morning, knock on the neighbours door, and say your children are not up yet, they've not had their breakfast yet, why aren't you taking them to school?
"As an ex-headteacher I saw the result of children being brought up badly by their parents, so society has got to worry about what's happening in families and families in particular parts of the country, and children's services have got a part to play in helping and supporting those families, but families have got a huge part to play and communities have got a huge part to play in supporting children."
Wilshaw, who was appointed chief inspector in January 2012, was giving evidence on Ofsted's recent report on the state of children's services. He said in the wake of high-profile cases such as the death of Baby P, children's services have never been under so much pressure.
He said: "The national consciousness of what can go badly wrong in terms of children's services is much greater than it's ever been because of the high-profile deaths that have taken place over the past few years, and as a consequence of those tragedies the volume of cases under scrutiny have gone up, and the pressure on children's services have gone up and our inspection frameworks are much more rigorous as a result of that."
"We've also got to worry about the parlous state of children's services throughout the country and worry about those children who don't die and don't hit the headlines but actually are going through miserable lives because they are not being properly supported."

A group of 97 House Republicans say U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice misled the nation about the attack on the consulate in Libya, disqualifying her as a candidate for secretary of state.
In a letter to President Barack Obama organized by South Carolina freshman Jeff Duncan, the Republicans say Rice would undermine U.S. credibility abroad if selected to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Alert: Hurricane Proves You Need Emergency Radio, Save $25
The letter added to the confrontation between Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who have promised to block Rice from getting the job, and Obama, who said last week that the attacks on Rice were outrageous.
Rice has been criticized for saying shortly after the September attack in Benghazi that it grew out of a spontaneous protest rather than an act of terrorism.

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks' thin second line now looks emaciated.
Winger David Booth has a groin injury that will force him to miss the first four to six weeks of the National Hockey League season.
The injury, announced by coach Alain Vigneault after today's training camp practice at Rogers Arena, leaves the Canucks with only one player from its second line — 10-goal scorer Mason Raymond — and a lot of questions about where the scoring will come from when the regular season begins on Saturday.
Booth, known as a workout fiend, hurt himself while undergoing physical testing at the start of training camp on Sunday.
Key centre Ryan Kesler remains out indefinitely after off-season surgeries.
"He just pulled his groin," Vigneault said of Booth. "Stuff happens, whether it be in testing or practice."
Left-winger Raymond skated today in practice with rotating partners: Andrew Ebbett, Jordan Schroeder and Zack Kassian. Ebbett has 16 goals in the last three NHL seasons. Kassian scored only four times last year as a rookie, and Schroeder has never played a NHL game.
"My job is to play with the players who are available to our team and we've got quite a few players available, good hockey players," Vigneault said. "Like we've always done, we're going to find a way to make this work."
The first of two scrimmages, designed to simulate a pre-season game, is Wednesday.

Thank you for making #PlayROCs Your Neighborhood 2018 a day to remember. Click the picture above for tips on how to host your own play day.
At Healthi Kids we believe in the power of play! Play is important to the physical, social and emotional health of each child and can happen throughout the year. Play ROCs is a Healthi Kids initiative that is bringing back Play in Rochester and Monroe County!
Play in the Rochester City School District:
Healthi Kids continues to be champions for daily recess in the Rochester City School District. For the last four years, Healthi Kids has advocated for the implementation of a 20 minute recess policy in the district's wellness policy and for the creation of a clause in the Student Behavior Resource Manual that prohibits recess being taken away as a form of punishment. In our recess observations, we've monitored how well the recess policy is working and seen that barriers still exist to its full implementation. For more information about our work in recess visit our Be Active Resource Page.
Healthi Kids has partnered with the Rochester City School District's Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and the Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI) to engage RCSD School Board candidates on the issue of play. With primary elections happening September, 10, 2015 it is important for the community to understand where each candidate stand as they have authority to change the district's policies and practices. Learn more about the School Board candidate questionnaire below:
Making our city playable is a benefit to the entire community, playable cities build community, foster economic development, creates healthy places, and supports children's physical, social and emotional development. Nontraditional play infrastructure such as playful sidewalks and bus shelters, pop up playgrounds and colorful crosswalks allow for play to happen anywhere. Learn more about the benefits of a playable city and possibilities to make Rochester playable below:
Healthi Kids has worked with communities throughout Rochester to answer the question, "where do children play?" After talking to residents, neighbors, community members, and (most importantly), kids, Healthi Kids created five Playability Plans to highlight where play is happening, where we wish play was happening, and what we could do to make play better for everyone. Check out our findings and neighborhood recommendations below:
What affects play in Rochester? Our data below highlights where play is happening, where it's not, and what the barriers are to having kids play every day.
Play days' are a great way to bring back play into your neighborhood! Learn how you can host your own play day with our Play Day Toolkit which walks you through the permit process, things to remember, and gives game ideas! Want to see how other neighborhoods in Rochester have created play in their community? Visit the gallery!

i bought this blind and hated it, sold it on ebay the next day. sorry not to share your enthusiam with this one
Thread: Annick Goutal's Ninfeo Mio
Just tested this relatively new release and had to get it. IMO the best fig scent so far. The only other fig I ever cared for is PF by L'artisan Parfumeurs. This one starts off citrus, then a milky green fig not unlike the sap of the fig tree. The green note also reminds me of a fig leaf that's been crushed. Love the bitterness and woods in the base. This is not a sweet fig, but a green/bitter one. I think the guys will dig this one. The blue/green bottle which recalls the color of trees reflected in a river is beautiful.
i bought this blind and hated it, sold it on ebay the next day. sorry not to share your enthusiam with this one
I'm a big fan of Ninfeo Mio and bought a bottle at the first opportunity. Love at first sniff for me!
Went to the AG boutique, sprayed some on. It has their signature house accord, very similar to their Folavril.
I hate the smell of fig in a fragrance! But I have been very tempted buy this one. I like how the scent only relies on fig as a compliment to the other greens and is extremely dry in the opening and stays throughout. As it wears on the milky fig becomes more prominent, however the base continues to be dry green muskiness with dry woods with still just a hint of fig. The best fig scent ever because of its restraint with the fig note itself.
I am very impressed with all of the scents that Isabelle Doyen has created at Annick Goutal and also those she does for her niche brand LesNez. She has an extreme subtlety and delicateness with her creations. I really like the magical brew of Mandragore Pourpre, the recent upgrade of Mandragore, and another favorite winter scent from her lab is Ambre Fetische. A nice profile of Isabelle Doyen is at: http://www.osmoz.com/News-Trends/Int...Isabelle-Doyen
Worth of trying!
LOVE IS BEST http://sophiloves.simplesite.com/429114763
...like Odysseus find your own 'Ithaca"
I had a sample of this with a bottle of Les Nuits d'Hadrien EDP I received a couple of weeks ago. I originally tried it when it first came out and I didn't know what to make of it then and this second time around, I still don't. I really like the fragrance for the first hour, but when it starts to drydown, there's something that puts me right off it. Certainly worth trying out though for anyone who is interested.
I liked it until it developed a smell that I think of as "eau de Yankee Candle Store".
Great AG scent after many years of so-so releases. Yes, on of the finest fig scents. I'm in love.
I love this fragrance. It has a salty quality (or brings out that quality of my skin?) and a really nice balance between citrus, woody, and green components.
Definitely one of the better fig scents in the market, right next to L'Artisan's Premier Figuer and Diptyque's Philosykos. But I'm not too crazy about the fig note on myself.
...too many among us die at thirty and are buried at eighty. - Robin Sharma
If you are a figgy kind of guy and can get past the name, Womanity from Thierry Mugler is worth a whiff.
I've tried this one a couple of times and like it - I own Duel & Madragore and this one feels recognisably Goutal. It didn't strike me as as an overtly fig scent either, which is probably a good thing, all in all a very nice crisp green scent. I like this side of the Goutal range - keep thinking I should grab Eau de Hadrien at some point.
One fig scent that probably no one will have heard of on Basenotes (or certainly very few members) is Constance by Essenze di Mezzanotte. It's an excellent Italian unisex fig perfume, certainly worth checking out. If you want more info on where to get a sample of this from and the other 5 or so fragrances from the Mezzanotte line, then drop me a PM.
I am not fond of fig fragrances, and this one keeps that string going. I really did not like this one at all.

DEL MAR >> Defending champion Game On Dude and unbeaten Shared Belief have deservedly drawn much of the attention when talk centered around Sunday's 24th running of the $1 million Pacific Classic at Del Mar.
Does Game On Dude have at least one more big race in him? Can Shared Belief look quality older horses in the eyes and make quick work of them as he's done to his 3-year-old counterparts?
At least one observer who's been around the block a time or two believes you can eliminate Game On Dude on your Pick 6 and Pick 4 tickets.
"I think he's over the hill," said Ron McAnally, who trained a gritty old veteran named John Henry. "Mike Smith taking off him, I think that says something right there. He didn't get to where he is today for nothing."
While it's true Smith, a Hall of Fame rider, did opt to ride Shared Belief over Game On Dude in the 1 1/4-mile Classic, trainer Bob Baffert says the Dude is doing well and he thinks the 7-year-old gelding is capable of becoming only the fourth horse — Tinners Way, Skimming and Richard's Kid are the others — to win consecutive Pacific Classics.
But this isn't a two-horse race. Far from it. There are questions surrounding both favorites, and if either should falter there are some quality graded-stakes winners in the field ready to take advantage and claim the $600,000 first prize.
Horses the likes of Gold Cup at Santa Anita winner Majestic Harbor, Charles Town Classic champ Imperative, dominating Cougar II Handicap winner Irish Surf and Clubhouse Ride, who doesn't win many big races but continues to add to his $1.3 career earnings, are all dangerous in a race that has produced more than its share of surprise winners.
Exhibit A: Dare And Go's shocking victory in 1996 at boxcar odds of 39-1 that snapped the great Cigar's 16-race winning streak.
And there have been others, including Missionary Ridge's gate-to-wire victory at 24-1 in 1992, Student Council's 23-1 shocker in 2007 and Richard's Kid's 24-1 surprise two years later. Others like Came Home (2002) and Borrego (2005) have gone postward at 10-1 or more and found the winner's circle.
Imperative, who beat Game On Dude in the Charles Town Classic in April, is a healthy 20-1 on the morning line and he'll have the rejuvenated Kent Desormeaux in the saddle. He's flying into the race under the radar mostly because of a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Grade II San Diego Handicap at Del Mar on July 26.
"That's me, under the radar always," trainer George Papaprodromou said.
When Imperative won the $1.5 million Charles Town Classic, he was dismissed at 26-1. The 4-year-old Bernardini gelding has outrun Majestic Harbor twice in previous races, so Papaprodromou is a bit surprised by the generous odds.
"But it's OK, what can you do?" he said. "It is what it is."
Sean McCarthy, whose Majestic Harbor has given him the only two graded-stakes victories of his training career, is fine with the fact his 6-year-old horse is only the third choice at 9-2 despite soundly beating Game On Dude in the Gold Cup on June 28.
"This horse has had a tremendous year, two graded-stakes wins obviously, and we've been competing with these horses basically and been competitive," he said. "We're happy where we're at and I'm really happy with the way this horse is training into the race."
Trainer Craig Lewis, whose Clubhouse Ride is 8-1 on the morning line, believes the first quarter-mile of the race will be the key. If Game On Dude is a length or two in front down the backstretch and running easily, the race might be over.
"None of the others appear to have Game On Dude's speed," Lewis said.
Still, he knows Clubhouse Ride will most likely be making up ground in the stretch.
"He's a warrior," Lewis said. "He's a dream horse. Just fortunate to have a horse like that. I think Mike Smith had the best definition of him. He said, 'He's like an oil well. He just keeps pumping out money."

March 8, 2012: Nula Presents... for Radio Boredcast
55875 partly consists of field recordings from spain from urban and seascape environments, and also includes sound ambiences drawn from the 1936 film 'by the bluest of seas'.
nula.cc began in 2009 as a series of filecasts emanating from an online presence. The aim of the project has been left somewhat vague, which serves a twofold purpose: to allow for free experimentation with the understanding that outcomes are necessarily unpredictable; and, to let the online collection and the works it contains speak for themselves as much as possible.
As it turns out, a substantial number of the nula filecasts are audio works (tho video and other media also appear in the collection). Many of these audio works are "slow" in the sense that they unfold gradually (if at all) or set an atmospheric tone that runs for an extended time. This, too, serves a dual purpose: it allows for a kind of "deep" listening and it also allows the work to be used atmospherically as a backdrop to other experiences.
I have assembled several sequences, each combining sound from two or three of the filecasts, sometimes substantially altered from the versions that appear at nula.cc. I have tried to make each sequence work as a cohesive whole. I invite listeners to visit nula.cc and explore there for further works of this kind.

iTK Introduces Vintel
iTK today introduces Vintel, a state-of-the-art, web-based decision support system for optimum vineyard management and superior quality wine. Vintel is the first web-based tool for real-time and predictive management of agronomic decisions, using environmental and climatic data, says iTK owner and manager, Eric Jallas of Montpellier, France. "Vintel applies agronomic modeling and artificial intelligence to drive the vintner's decision-making process," Jallas says. The predictive tool allows for the kind of management analysis vineyard managers need to deliver precisely what the vines need, when and where they need it.
Working in conjunction with researchers in vine physiology, public agronomic institutes, grape growers, input manufacturers and the French government, iTK built Vintel based on predictive agronomic and biological simulation models. The result is a comprehensive, web-based system that provides growers with timely and accurate data to manage daily vineyard operations. Vintel can collect viticulture data from in-field sensors and allows for user to optmize their use and upload data remotely via smart phones and tablets or from third party consultants.
iTK designed the predictive engine that powers Vintel to give vintners strong models upon which to base decisions. Statistical analysis helps growers evaluate multiple virtual scenarios in pursuit of the optimum quality vintage. The software evaluates farm histories, climate, cultivar properties, soil properties, plant maturity and pest cycles to provide actionable information. Vintel then provides the user with daily monitoring reports, detailed plot information, best practices, yield predictions, irrigation management, fertilization information, risk prevention solutions and quality control strategies.
The Vintel application is highly customizable and can be easily integrated into current management schemes and vineyards of any size. It provides unique crop management solutions for irrigation, fertilization, pesticide application and quality control that allow producers to more effectively manage their vineyards and improve their bottom line, according to Philippe Roche, the California-based iTK Americas manager for Vintel. He says the cloud-based platform allows easy access and automatic updates within the Vintel modeling engine.
For more information, visit the iTK booth number 136 at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium January 30-31.

Toro is in northwest Spain, less than 50 miles from the Portuguese border, on the banks of the Duero River (which becomes the Douro in Portugal). Tempranillo (called Tinto de Toro here) dominates but there are also scattered plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Toro wines.
Toro wines are powerful and high in alcohol, often with a distinctly roasted, meaty character.

Smythson of Bond Street has looked to the art world to create the latest edition to its ever-expanding collection of diaries. The 120-year-old London-based leather and luxury goods firm has collaborated with a host of acclaimed artists to launch its first series of art diaries. Rachel Whiteread, Gary Hume, John Baldessari and Ed Ruscha have each created a different cover design and customized the diaries' linings and ribbons. All the artists selected several examples of their own works for the diaries, which Smythson then worked into leather covers for each artist. Whiteread's design is inspired by her "Nets" series, while Hume's takes its cue from his "American Tan" works.
The diaries will hit stores in October, and have been produced in limited editions of around 100 copies of each diary. "It has been an honor to work with these eminent artists," said Samantha Cameron, creative director of Smythson, of the collaboration. The art diaries will also include listings edited by the London-based art publication the Art Newspaper, which will detail forthcoming exhibitions, art fairs, auctions and contacts. All the profits from sales on the limited editions, which will each be available in two sizes, will be donated to charities that the artists have chosen. The art diaries will also be available as a non-limited edition in Smythson's own leather covers, in a range of colors.

Road to the IGF: Richard Hofmeier's
Cart Life
January 18, 2013 | By Mike Rose
January 18, 2013 | By Mike Rose
1 comments
Richard Hofmeier's
Cart Life
was originally released in May 2011, and for a good while it drifted along without all that much attention.
This was a huge shame, because the retail simulation title is as brilliant as it is deep. You play as an entrepreneur who is looking to start a business, while also making sure other areas of his or her life are kept in order.
After sprucing certain areas of the title up and gaining a little more player traction, Hofmeier decided to fire it IGF-ward in 2012 --
with incredible results
. Not only has the game been nominated for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, but it's also up for the Narrative and Nuovo awards.
As part of Gamasutra's Road to the IGF series, Hofmeier discusses the long and arduous path that
Cart Life
has taken -- finally receiving a happy ending after many months of worry.
What is your background in making games?
You know, I don't have any background in games to speak of. The tools and scripting languages have become so easy to use that somebody like me could just pick them up and go.
So, in an attempt to better answer, I'll say that seeing people like Yahtzee Crowshaw and Cactus making games on their own was a revelation to me, and I wanted to take part. It feels silly to say so, since the gates have been torn down for years now, but the idea that I could just jump right in was very inspiring.
What development tools did you use to create
Cart Life
, and why?
I sketched out the game on the backs of tax documents first, and then used whatever was cheap and nearby to make it into a videogame. Specifically, a cheap machine with Windows XP, a pirated Photoshop (which I only paid for recently), and a games toolset called AGS which is free and easy to learn.
But AGS is so built as to make Sierra / Lucasarts-style adventure games, so getting
Cart Life
out of it was a little troublesome and, you know, time-consumptive. For most of the music, I simply asked the composers by email - they seemed to be trying to accomplish the same things I was, after all - and to my astonishment, they said yes. For the sounds, I gutted a Gameboy and NES - the act of scrapping them for parts felt intensely appropriate for this game.
How long have you been working on the game?
Well, I usually answer this question by remarking on how I gave myself a deadline of 30 days to make it, and didn't finish it for three years. But I'm too interested in this question to respond only with that.
See, it finally hit the airwaves in May of 2011, so there's a question of
Cart Life
's eligibility in this year's IGF. Now I'll admit, I just regarded the $100 submission fee as a gamble and left it up to the judges or committee or whomever to decide whether it's allowed or not. But my thoughts go like this: the proposition that IGF makes is kind of inherited from movie and music award ceremonies, which (seem?) to have more specific eligibility requirements.
But, of course, video games will never be movies or music, and one of their many differences is that they generally take longer to make. Hell, I'm still making
Cart Life
(mainly fixing bugs, but occasionally adding content). If that sounds like a bullshit excuse, it's because I really don't know. Maybe it's because
Cart Life
wasn't really downloaded or discussed very much until January 2012.
How did you come up with the concept?
I wanted to make as realistic a game as I could. Sometimes I hear about how the larger game-playing audience is maturing, but I don't buy it. I wanted a game like this when I was a kid - I wanted to learn how to live.
Games were, and still are, the best way to do it. Although this game fails in pretty much every way I'd imagined it succeeding, people seem to appreciate the attempt - probably because this kind of game still needs to be made well.
I know from playing the game, and talking to other people who have played it, that it's fair to describe
Cart Life
as "difficult to get into" - it personally took me a few goes before I really "got it". Do you worry that this will put some people off, or is this kind of barrier necessary to really pull someone firmly into your game's world?
Sure, it's not for everybody. I try to lie about it, I say it's like
with lattes. But it's getting harder to convince people, now that folks are discussing it so openly.
Some players quit halfway and still get something good out of it, but the rewards are at the bottom and you have to dig. Digging's more fun when you have an audience, and in
Cart Life
nobody cares enough to watch you work.
The game has been around for a while now - I remember playing it back in 2011. Why do you think it has taken this long for the game to gain traction and be so widely recognized?
Hell, that's tough to answer. I never would've anticipated this. I mean it. Down in my heart, I'm still suspicious when people say they like it - I know that's stupid, but I can't help it.
Cart Life
's weird, toilsome, boring, it's barely seaworthy, etc. So, you can imagine how good it feels when somebody finds it worth enduring the shortcomings to understand the tender parts. On a scale as big as IGF, it's simply incomprehensible. I'll never understand it, but I know to be grateful.
What have you done to
Cart Life
since its original release, and which additions have gelled the best with players?
Its original release was literally unplayable - it was missing a file in the download, so it wouldn't run. Other than that, it really hasn't changed much outside of fixed bugs. The non-bugfix improvements I'm making tend to be tiny, hardly noticeable things which hopefully culminate in a more stimulating playthrough. Waiting at the bus stop instead of departing immediately, for example.
Are there any elements that you've experimented with that just flat out didn't worked with your vision?
Sure. It's hard to say, but I'd guess that more than half of the content I made for the game had to be pared away at some point. Mostly weird-but-true things which were irredeemably implausible.
There was a fourth playable character, a hot dog vendor, who I cut out. Some of the stores are closed off, there was an airport location. There was a system wherein your cart, news kiosk or coffee stand would get a review in the daily newspaper, but it seemed a little trite so it's gone. Hell, lots of stuff.
Have you played any of the other IGF entries? Any games you particularly enjoyed?
How long a response will you accept for this question? There are only a few that I don't have the hardware to play, yet. Steam tells me that I've played seven hours of
Thirty Flights of Loving
, which is funny because most things have to be killed to be dissected.
Thirty Flights
even attempts its own autopsy via a "commentary mode" playthrough, and yet it remains a mysterious and lively dance partner.
has that kind of audacity too, of course - plainly declaring its own material state and even its intentions, but that electricity doesn't fade. I keep thinking that it'll be less effective for me, but each time I show it to somebody new, it's more snappy and more sincere and, moreso than probably any other game on your list, is unwilling to overstay its welcome.
For the same reason, I'm a little mournful of both
Goblet Grotto
Frog Fractions
, because their rewards are compromised in being elevated. The fantasy of both is that every game could do their special things - but you have to wake up from them before sharing them.
So, in
Thomas Was Alone
, there's a story atop a story adjacent to these clever puzzles. At first, I resisted its appeal and just chewed through the puzzlery because I thought, "What makes the author think that his characterizing fantasy play with these geometric shapes would be any better than what us players would come up with on our own?"
I felt like a kid sitting in the kitchen, playing with refrigerator magnets and there was a teacher trespassing in my kitchen, telling me how to play. It's not until you're halfway done eating the game that the larger rewards come into view, so this contentious, layered romance suddenly becomes resonant with each layer of the story, the puzzles, the game and you. It's so great.
Analogue: A Hate Story
does something similar, in that its initial identity is a paperwork job: read diaries of long-dead people, then connect the dots. But its more alive than it seems, and it ultimately comes to reveal its players to themselves.
The Stanley Parable
does this, too - it's a game that's secretly about games. It moves in to kiss you exactly when you thought it was just a plaything. I love them both.
I played
Super Space ----
at Indiecade, and it's absurd and hilarious, but again, deeper than it seems. Amid the sloppy slapstick, there's the core fact that you have to cooperate with your competitors, constantly. Just when this contradiction starts to resonate beyond the game and into every single aspect of life, the game explodes with a million volts of honey and you're laughing shellshocked with your enemies. Agh, it's so good. I guess there are superficial comparisons to be made here to
Super Hexagon
, but instead your enemy is the meat you're made of - that you're not fast enough, you don't learn, etc. So, it doesn't do as much for me, but then again I was the kind of kid who only played
for the music.
showed at GDC last year as well as Indiecade, and it must be a privilege to have played it twice, though some of the magic is lost as the curtain wears thin. It's such a smart concept for a game - I'm glad it's out there, in the world. Games invading theatres is such a turn-on for a so many people. I absolutely can't wait to see what wallFour do next.
I'm trying to, but can't fathom what it must be like to play
Hotline Miami
as one's first Cactus game. I really cherish all he's done, so I'm staring at every nuance thinking, "Nice." As though I have any reason to feel pride on his behalf. Blood and bombast almost never do it for me, but the scope of these things are never disavowed in a Cactus game - the slickness of the production is, itself, an audacious transgression. That music especially.
Hotline Miami
's like a distilled post-mortal priapism in a victim run-down by a gleaming sportscar.
I've got a lot more
Bientot l'ete
to soak up in the next few days, so ask me then (if I haven't convinced you otherwise, yet). Either way, I'd hope that Tale of Tales' ongoing romantic bravery is at least admirable to their many hateful detractors. It's not just some fleeting provocation, there's real love here. And real craft.
Michael Brough has expressed surprise that
was nominated over his other entries, but hell, where you stop? He would've filled up a whole category (or two) if I spoke for this year's judging panel. Don't you just love that totally unearned sense of pride you get when games you love finally get their overdue recognition? As Nicolai Troshinsky tweeted: "Can't wait for the Steam pop-up informing me that my friends are playing
every day!"
Being a fan, I email "interview"ed Jake Elliott about
Balloon Diaspora
a good while ago, and in one of his responses, he wrote, "The fantasy of
Balloon Diaspora
is that the player is telling the story." It feels relevant to suggest that fans of
Kentucky Route Zero
take a walk through Cardboard Computer's earlier games before the ink dries on their hands. I'm hesitant to say more, because
's rewards (like those of
Frog Fractions, Goblet Grotto
, and many others) are fragile and best known first-hand.
What do you think of the current state of the indie scene?
Don't ask me! I'm suspicious of the fact that a scene exists at all - the surrounding language is bound to collapse. (Certain questions ["What IS indie?" "What classifies as a 'game'?" "Is 'indie community' an oxymoron?" "Are games art?"] are so circular, or so like fractals in their infinite depth, that discussion seems to have stopped. But these problems haven't simply gone away - they're still unresolved and increasingly consequential.)
I love my "indie scene" friends like family, but ultimately I want to see profound, comprehensive changes of these whole systems: Indie ain't a genre, and the number of people making a game, or how a game's development was sustained, can't classify it.
Just, you know, how good is it? Fuck genres, fuck marketing shortcuts. Game by game, how good? All that matters happens between the glowing rectangular box and the player. That said, it seems to me that the people currently best able and most interested in this reevaluation currently get classified as "indie" and a game like
Cart Life
wouldn't have survived if people didn't take pleasure in its discovery. So, hell, I just don't have an answer for you.
Oh, and
Johann Sebastian Joust
doesn't even employ a glowing rectangular box, so you know what I mean.

IRVING, Texas — Just a week after Boy Scout officials signaled that they might lift a ban on gays, the national board on Wednesday postponed a vote, extending a debate that has roiled the organization.
The decision to take up the matter again at the group's national meeting in May suggested that the board was buffeted by the furor that erupted after it announced it might allow local units to decide whether to admit gays as Scouts and leaders.
President Obama, several senators, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and others spoke out in favor of ending the ban, and petitions purportedly bearing 1.4 million signatures were presented at Scouting headquarters in Texas.
But the ban retained strong backing among important constituencies in the Scouts, including the Southern Baptist Convention and the Family Research Council, which took to the airwaves and bought an ad defending it.

The secretary also announced a series of signup dates for other portions of the Agricultural Assistance Act of 2003, including those for hurricane losses for sugarcane producers and the cottonseed assistance program, which could be as early as May 1.
"The department is committed to getting assistance into the hands of affected producers as soon as possible," Veneman said during a briefing with reporters from the USDA radio studios. "Our timetable is several weeks ahead of previous disaster aid packages, even though this is a more complicated bill to implement."
Earlier reports had said signup might not begin until August due to the number of signups underway at USDA. Secretary Veneman subsequently announced the department would "do everything it can to start the signup as soon as possible."
To speed up the process, Veneman said the department is working to cut regulatory red tape by going directly to final regulations for the disaster programs where possible and implementing many regulations through a single, expedited "mega regulation."
She also provided more details about how payments will be determined, based on the formula for the 2000 disaster assistance program.
"This means crop losses for 2001 and 2002 will be valued using the price election for Actual Production History crop insurance policies, or if that price is not available, a five-year average," the secretary noted.
She said crop disaster payments would also be also subject to a formula which states that the sum of (1) the value of the crop not lost, (2) the disaster payment, and (3) the crop-insurance indemnity cannot exceed 95 percent of what the crop's value would have been, if there had been no loss.
"Crop disaster payments will be reduced if the 95 percent limitation is exceeded," she said. "The value of the crop not lost and the 95 percent limitation will be valued at either the Actual Production History price election or the NASS season-average price, whichever is higher." (Details will be available from local Farm Service Agency offices, USDA Service Centers and on the web at http://www.usda.gov.)
The secretary said the $60 million in the disaster bill earmarked for hurricane-loss assistance for sugarcane growers and cooperatives will be provided in May, although final details for determining the payments have not been worked out.
"This is a program that is specific to Louisiana, so we are working with the Farm Service Agency and farmers in Louisiana to determine the best way to distribute the assistance to those farmers who suffered losses due to the two hurricanes that occurred last fall," she noted. "We hope to have those finalized soon."
Signup for the $50 million cottonseed program will begin after completion of the 2002-crop ginning season, which occurs around May 1, she said.
"The 2003 program will be conducted in the same manner as previous programs," said Keith Collins, USDA's chief economist who also participated in the briefing. "We have to wait until the end of the ginning season so that we can determine the losses to producers who were unable to harvest their crops in 2001 and 2002 due to weather."
USDA will also begin distributing $60 million in disaster related assistance for the sugar beet industry following signup beginning in June, the secretary said.
And signup for the disaster bill's $250 million Livestock Assistance Program that will reimburse producers for grazing losses will begin in July.
The Livestock Compensation Program (LCP) and the Tobacco Payment Program (TOPP) already are in place, with sign-up for TOPP underway and LCP sign-up slated to begin next Tuesday.
USDA also is issuing refunds to eligible producers who were assessed payment reductions last year for haying or grazing on lands enrolled under the Conservation Reserve Program. These refunds will total $16.4 million to producers in 28 states.
"This is one more way to assist affected producers," Veneman said. "The refunds will go to farmers and ranchers who were hardest hit by last year's drought."
Veneman also reminded producers of next Tuesday's April 1 deadline to update acreage bases and yields under the Direct and Counter-cyclical Payment Program of the 2002 farm bill. Nationwide, USDA expects that about 5 percent of eligible producers still need to visit their county offices to either make the updates or make appointments to do so.
Two other important dates include the Monday deadline to designate peanut acreage and yields to a farm and the June 2 closing date to sign completed contracts for the 2002 and 2003 Direct and Counter-cyclical Program.

The following Press Release came into Olive Tree Genealogy's mailbox from Jordan Jones of the National Genealogical Society a few days ago:
Classes Form Around Tom Jones's Mastering Genealogical Proof
Arlington, VA, 10 June 2013: One of the National Genealogical Society's educational goals two years ago was to bring an excellent learning tool to the genealogical community that would help expand understanding of the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS). With the help of Dr. Thomas W. Jones, phd, cg, cgl, fasg, fngs, that NGS goal was realized recently with the publication of Mastering Genealogical Proof. The release of this book has excited and enthused genealogists of all skill levels and as a result classes and courses of study are forming quickly around this excellent text. NGS President Jordan Jones recently spoke to Dr. Jones about this new publication. Jordan shares that conversation and his thoughts:
I had an opportunity to talk to Tom Jones about his book Mastering Genealogical Proof, recently published by the National Genealogical Society.
The book is a culmination of Tom's years of interest in the topic of genealogical proof. While he was serving as its president, the Board for Certification of Genealogists published The BCG Genealogical Standards Manual (Provo: Ancestry Publishing, 2000). According to Tom, this book was "one of the first places where the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) was articulated and laid out in its five parts." He continues: "In fact, the Standards Manual was released at the NGS Conference in Providence in 2000, and I did a presentation on the GPS at that conference and have been doing them in one form or another over the years." Often, in the course of a one-hour lecture, Tom can share an insight into some aspect of the GPS, but the proof standard is a large topic that requires far more than a single hour.
The courses Tom teaches at Boston University and at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy treat the GPS in a broader context, and this book builds on that approach. "It's the result of my learning from all the teaching I have done, at BU and at the Salt Lake Institute particularly." Originally, the book was to have been an NGS online course. As he started to develop the content, Tom felt that "the complexity and the length suggested that an online course was not the best way to deliver the content." The exercises also made the work better suited to being a "textbook to accompany a course, rather than a course itself." So, the National Genealogical Society worked with Tom to re-conceive the project as a book to support in-class coursework.
And now the courses are coming: Two study groups have formed to study Mastering Genealogical Proof. One study group is hosted by Angela Packer McGhie, a genealogical researcher, lecturer, and instructor. Angela serves as the administrator of the ProGen Study Program and course coordinator. She has set up a "train-the-trainer" model where she is working through the content with a small group of mentors, who will then teach others. The course is being held online via Google Hangouts. For more information, see the "Gen Proof" groups post on her blog, Adventures in Genealogy Education.
Another study group is led by Pat Richley-Erickson, the irrepressible blogger also known as "Dear Myrtle." This course started with an orientation session on Sunday, with fifteen other panelists. There will be sessions through September, including a graduation ceremony. For more information, see Pat Richley-Erickson's blog Dear Myrtle or her MGP Study Group schedule.
Of the audience for the Mastering Genealogical Proof, Tom says he hopes it would include "everyone interested in tracing their family history. Most of my teaching experience has been with people that I would say are intermediate and higher in terms of their research experience. I think the greatest interest in the book is among that group, but I really hope people who are just embarking on their family history research will pick this up and get a lot out of it, because it will get them started off on the right foot. It will minimize all the hours of work put into something that a few years down the road they realize is worthless. I don't think anything in here is too advanced or too complex for a new family historian to digest and benefit from and apply to their own research." I agree, and hope researchers, those just beginning, and those with more experience, will take a look at Tom's book, and learn to benefit from the rigor and clarity of the genealogical proof standard. The National Genealogical Society is proud to have helped bring Mastering Genealogical Proof to the community of genealogists. We are heartened to see that the book is generating interest in advanced genealogical study, and that students and teachers are using it to explore and extend their understanding of the GPS.

Surrounded by his players and members of the cheerleading squad, Burroughs High School Head Football Coach Keith Knoop looked out over a sea of classic cars covering the grass of Johnny Carson Park during last week's John Burroughs High School Annual Car Show. "This is the 25th anniversary of this event, which is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year," said Knoop. "It's always a tremendous event and our football program would simply be non-existent if it wasn't for what the Arrowhead Club does to support us."
While the John Burroughs High School Booster Arrowhead Club works all year long to ensure the funding that keeps the Indians on the field of Memorial Stadium, they gear-up and go into overdrive for their annual car show.
Headed up by Fabian Ospina, the club's president, last week's show was made possible by the event staff comprised of Sonnie Monsalve, Marjorie Knoop, Lester Quintana and Julio Garcia and the volunteer help of numerous parents and supporters including Tony Wade, Anna Moskovyan, Lori Leck-Cohen, Bea Satmary and Monica Amaya.
Always an anticipated and well-attended event, this annual fundraiser offers visitors the chance to support the team with the chance to win raffle prizes, enjoy barbecued treats and peruse a plethora of vintage vehicles owned by locals including members of the Burbank Road Kings, many of which are Burroughs graduates from the 1950s through '70s. Among the Road Kings and other classic car owners who shared their prized possessions with the public were Jim Shaw, Ken Brock, Greg Simms, Don Baldesaroni, Bob Trainor, Don Chambers, Bill Murray, Mike Seeley, John Spone, Larry Nelson and Brad Keegan.
Other owners who happily answered questions and, in some cases, even let folks get the feel of their cars from the driver's seats, were Patty Kemple, Jack Paloulian, Joey Johnson, Donn Nay, Dave Matter, Elayne Rodrigues, Mark Gomez, Bob Money, Louis Torres and Ray Astamendi.
Along with members of the school's Freshman and Junior Varsity Football teams, last week's event was enjoyed by Indians Varsity players Davion Barker, Marquette Williams, Oharjee Brown, Sean Johnson, Angel Manzanero, Hunter Harrison, Jake Gnasso, Jairo Gomez, Garrett Manoukian, Andrew Williams, Mirto Mirto, Jonathan Fuentes, Zach Hartman, Noah Tipton, Conor Joyce, Gorges Al Ajijian, Jaime Avila, Jason Monsalve, Raymond Cornejo, Josh Storer, Michael Kim, Danny Amaya, Israel Montes, Jonathan Salvatierra, Joseph Parker, Edward Quintanar, Dillon Meza, Jason Hamm, Zac Graston, Joseph Bautista, Jake Faunce, Tanner Young, Jesus Dozal, Ernesto Barraza, Ermar Cruz, Taylor Ens, Jacob Lopoez, Brad Peppmuller, Victor Mora, Gus Ruano, Mark Rodriguez, Paolo Chuidian, Daniel Marbach, Joseph Wallace, Jacob Pentland, Attapon Chaisamrong, Oscar Quintana, Andrew Mills, Scott Licata, Elliot Whitecotton, Able Maldonado, Jacob Nutty, Diego Corral and Jorge Villa.

Some people find it hard to believe that I don't like rice. I just think it's boring and a total waste of my
time calories. If I'm gonna eat empty calories, it's gonna be cake and not rice, ya hear? So when I started seeing recipes for cauliflower "fried rice" I was all over it. Genius: fried rice with nutrients!
Cauliflower "fried rice", makes about 3 servings
-2 T sesame oil
-1 small onion
-1 cup sliced mushrooms
-1 large head cauliflower
-1 knob fresh ginger (we'll grate this to be about 1 T ginger)
-2 cups mixed frozen vegetables
-1 cup frozen kale
-1/2 cup sliced water chestnuts (optional, for crunch)
-1/4 cup raw cashews
-salt & pepper
-2 eggs
-2-3 T soy sauce (or aminos to make it gluten-free)
Let's do this:
Dice your onion.
Get the oil heating in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion.
In the meantime, chop the cauliflower florets into roughly bite size pieces.
Add the cauliflower in batches to the food processor.
Process for about 10 seconds – until "riced". You don't want to process for too long or it will get mushy.
Empty the riced cauliflower to a large bowl and move to the next batch.
Once the onions are soft, add the mushrooms.
Peel your ginger and grate it. I use a microplane.
Once the mushrooms are soft, add the ginger and stir to combine. Add the cauliflower and stir. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 5 minutes. You want the cauliflower to soften but not get mushy.
Remove cover and add the frozen vegetables, kale, water chestnuts, and cashews. Stir to warm up the veggies.
Crack the two eggs in a small bowl and whisk. We need to cook the egg. You have a choice: you can scramble the egg in a separate pan, or you can make a hole in the middle of the veggies and add the eggs like I did. Either way, let the egg cook through and then stir in with the rest of the cauliflower. Add the soy sauce and stir to combine.

Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the plenty-of-prenda dept
Apparently the community was feeling more funny than insightful this week—so much so that the top six funny comments all scored more votes than the most insightful comment. In fact, our most insightful comment of the week is also our second funniest, coming in response to the modder who made SimCity offline-capable. Beech racked up lots of votes by noting the inevitable near-future, and connecting this to EA's server woes:
So now all the filthy pirates need to do is insert some code to get the game to save locally, and the DRM is defeated for everyone but the legal purchasers of the game who abide by the To S. Any bets on how long til a cracked version shows up on TPB?
Really, on the plus side, once everyone hacks their copy of the game, Ea's servers should free right up!
While EA was suffering in the court of public opinion, Prenda was suffering in the actual court, which led Loki to deliver our second most insightful comment of the week by highlighting what this means in the big picture:
Just remember, for those playing at home, that like Righthaven, these are the sort of "upstanding people" the Copyright maximalists hire to represent their interests.
When your arguments are so hollow and without merit that you have to resort to essentially illegal/immoral activities that far exceed the perceived wrongs of so-called "pirates" you've lost the fight before it's even begun.
That's why the really hate the internet, because not only does it break their business model, but it allows people to see what one hand is doing while watching the other one. The days of sweeping things under the rug are long gone (at least until governments can find a way to break the internet).
For those keeping score on the Prenda debacle, DannyB provides a handy roundup that wins our first editor's choice:
List of what they are in trouble for
Please feel free to add to this list anything I am failing to remember.
1. Gibbs lying in court under oath, contradicted by lawyer in audience.
2. Order suppressing AT&T & Verizon subpoenas for IP addresses, was ignored.
3. Forging Alan Cooper's signature on documents.
4. Contacting a party Alan Cooper directly by phone.
5. Leaving threatening voicemail messages.
6. Threatening to use the courts as a club to silence Alan Cooper. (But that's business as usual, like their extortion racket of using courts as a club to extort copyright "settlements", which is what led to where we are today. They should have bypassed using the court and went directly to "sick strikes".)
7. Not disclosing the actual interested parties of the litigation to the court. (The attorneys themselves are the interested parties, using the courts for subpoenas, then threatening parties directly, then dropping claims in court once the shakedown is complete.)
8. Obstruction to conceal the true organization of the sham of shell companies.
Any others?
I know that Out of the Blue just hates it when the crimes of copyright criminals are listed out and recognized by a federal court.
While we wait for Prenda to get its comeuppance, there are still plenty of other things to worry about—like the fact that, despite the government's intentions, legalizing phone unlocking may be hard to do thanks to international treaties that only allow temporary exemptions. Jilocasin has a suggestion for dealing with that, winning our second editor's choice:
'temporary' solutions aren't a problem
Well if this is correct:
"KORUS does allow for administrative procedures like the DMCA's rule-making to adopt temporary exemptions, but not permanent ones."
That shouldn't be a problem, thanks to the helpful example of the copyright maximalists.
All we need to do is to craft a solution that's _limited_ to infinity minus a day.
If the Supreme Court says that's good enough to keep copyright terms 'limited', it should be just fine for some ol' treaty.
But lest you think we could forget about Prenda for long, it's time to go straight back there for our funniest comment of the week (and one of the best I've seen in a while). Jameshogg kept it short, sweet and awesome:
If these hearings were on DVD, pirates would probably pay for it.
We've already had our second place comment, but let's stick with Prenda just a moment longer for our first editor's choice. Ken brought to our attention an ironic quote from the horse's mouth:
From Prenda's "we fight piracy" website:
"Litigation is unpleasant for everyone involved."
And, finally, we end with a positive post for our final editor's choice. On our case study of a band that embraced Grooveshark and succeeded wonderfully, ChurchHatesTucker offered the penultimate* incarnation of Masnick's Law:
This will only work for bands that are on the internet.
(*The ultimate would be "This will only work for bands that exist")

Liam Payne of One Direction and Girlfriend Split
Be still your beating hearts, 1D fans. One Direction's Liam Payne has reportedly broken up with dancer girlfriend Danielle Peazer.
The split is shocking since the couple moved in with each other just a few months ago. However, according to The Sun, Peazer made the decision to move out because of the "abuse she received from One Direction fans" on Twitter, as well as their hectic and conflicting schedules.
"It was getting impossible to keep it going," a source told the paper. "They were apart so much and everything that was being said to Danielle on Twitter was getting to her. They both still care for each other and will remain friends, but it all just got too much."
Peazer was attacked by fans online, even receiving death threats. She responded, "To tweet someone telling them to 'go die' is disgusting. I don't care if you hate me but keep it to yourself rather than tweeting me."
Payne hasn't been sitting idly while this has been happening. The star has blocked a threatening fan on Twitter, and defended Peazer by saying he would take things further if any more death threats occurred.
The dancer and boy band member met on the set of 'X Factor' in 2010. They were together for two years. Payne will have his buddies to help keep his chin up, though. Single 1D members Harry Styles and Niall Horan will surely have his back through these tough times, and even though Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson have girlfriends, we have no doubt that they'll be there for their mate.

Ed Del Grande
The Plumber
Q I love to cook for friends and family, especially during the holidays. So I was thinking about asking my husband for a "pot filler faucet" installed in my kitchen for my big gift. Can you give me some information on these specialty faucets and how they are installed? This way, I can make a nice sales pitch to my husband and just maybe he will surprise me! —
Ann, Iowa
A I like the way you think — getting all your information first, then making your case with a professional sales pitch. A pot-filler-type faucet is a good item to have in your kitchen if you want to cook like a pro.
Pot fillers are tall faucets with long swinging spouts that are installed close to your cook top or stove. True to the name, you can fill your pots right on the burner top, and avoid carrying water-filled pots across your kitchen. Plus, you can easily add more water while you"re cooking.
Pot fillers usually have a higher flow rate for filling large pots. To install one, you need a little space close to your stove where a hole can be drilled, and an area under the counter where a cold-water line can be connected.
There"s no need for a hot-water line or drains, but you do need to follow local codes. Final note: Price up the job first, because a pot filler can be a high-end item. Be careful not to drain your wallet!
