What if the only path into your family room was
through your kitchen? Would that bother you?
Is a FR that is somewhat isolated from the rest of the house a good thing or a bad thing? This room would also be the largest room in the house and most likely where guests would gather and where the family would spend most of their time.
My house is kind of like that (although there is another path to the family room). And I have been in many other houses like that. The advantage is that the family room is far from the bedrooms. People can sleep late without being disturbed by kids who get up early and want to watch tv or play legos. Or parents can stay up late watching tv without disturbing the kids who go to bed early.
At my house, everyone walks through the kitchen to get to the backyard or the family room. It doesn't bother me too much. I like that the kitchen (my favorite room) is the hub of the household. However we do have a u-shaped kitchen so the paths through the kitchen do not really interfere with the cooking/cleanup zone.
Yes. For immediate family it may or may not be a huge issue, but especially when you entertain, so you really want everyone coming through the kitchen while you try to prepare a meal? My family room is off the kitchen and breakfast room and at the back of the house, but the main entry come from the front hall through the living room and into the breakfast room -- right at the end of the kitchen, but leaving traffic out of the kitchen. That works okay, but I'm not an isolationist in the kitchen, but I'd have had some crazy fits or have given up cooking by now if the traffic all went through my kitchen.
I'd rather be able to reach the family room, without going through the kitchen. I love to cook and bake, which brings me a lot of joy and brings to my kitchen a lot of mess (LOL) so I'd rather guests could sit down and relax, without seeing my 'fun' with flour :)
In my last house, the only way to access the FR was through the kitchen (or backyard). The house had been a small saltbox or cape cod and the prior owners had blown it out and I guess felt the only way to do it was stick the FR in the back. It was a spectacular room - 2 story, huge windows but wound up "landlocking" the kitchen - it was the one thing about the house I didn't care for, but since the FR was so wonderful, I overlooked the kitchen layout. I really didn't like that people had to go through the kitchen to get there while I was working in it - they were always cutting me off in the middle of cooking and since it was small kitchen, it was very problematic.
My family room and the back deck and yard are accessed only through the kitchen. But the route is down the entry hall into the kitchen by the peninsula and down a step into the family room. Since the family room is on the peninsula side of the kitchen it isn't in the work area. It's never been a problem for me.
As long as the path through the kitchen to the FR is wide enough not to cause congestion (e.g., if you have seating on that path, there's plenty of room behind someone sitting there) AND that path is NOT through the main working part of the kitchen (especially the Prep & Cooking Zones), I don't see the problem.
I actually have that. Other than the garage door and the deck door, the only way to get to our FR is through the kitchen, albeit a corner of the kitchen. In addition, because our dogs' "den" is in the very short "hall" b/w the Foyer and the LR, the only path to the DR, LR, and Library is through the kitchen.
In the case of the FR, the path is just through a corner of the kitchen and it was easy to direct traffic away from the main kitchen and protect the ovens that are in that path.
The DR/LR/Library path, however, cuts straight across the entire kitchen. We created a shall "U" that houses the Prep & Cooking Zones. These zones are protected by the short peninsulas on each end that direct people away from the interior of the "U".
The Cleanup Zone is on the counter opposite the base of the "U" but works b/c the aisle b/w the peninsula and counter on the one end is 47" so even if someone is working at the counter or if the DW is open people can still easily walk by. We do have a "pinch point" b/w the other peninsula and the refrigerator (due to the measuring fiasco of our KD)...the aisle there is only 32" (it was supposed to be 42") and when someone is in the refrigerator s/he blocks the path, but it's only a short span and hasn't been a continual problem, just a minor annoyance on rare occasions.
As to the FR being "isolated", ours is also that way and it has not been a problem...in fact, I've never even thought of it as either a good or bad thing. It works as it is...our garage door and the deck door open into the FR and the basement door opens in the same corner of the kitchen that leads to the FR. Hmmm...maybe it isn't "isolated" after all...
I agree with camlan, it depends on the pathway through your kitchen.
Our house flows mudroom to kitchen to the rest of the house. We have a front door that never gets used in our living room. We expect everyone to come through the kitchen.
It's not a problem since a peninsula separates the main flow from the work area. The small sink, dishdrawer dw, and fridge are along the main pathway, on the other side of the peninsula from my work area. It makes washing hands, grabbing a drink of water, getting items from the fridge easy for others without interrupting my work.
As long as people are not in my workspace, I welcome seeing others pass through. Hi and Bye works well for me since I can then keep concentrating on the task at hand.
I like having a kitchen that is separate from other rooms. The flow of others through the outskirts helps keep me from feeling isolated.
As others have stated, it depends on the route through the kitchen. In my house, the far end of my kitchen (technically a breakfast nook) is the main path to the family room. It does not bother me one bit. However, if the path ran through the cooking, prepping, or cleanup zone, that might be an issue.
So it sounds like a lot of people have this type of layout in the home. I'm kinda in the camp with Lav Lass and lascatx - for some reason, even if it's not thru the main work area, it bothers me.
I've been reluctant, but I suppose the next step is to to post a new thread with the plans we are considering, and see if I can get some basic layout feedback here. Thanks!
I think I might also attend some open houses this weekend to see what other FRs are like.

The price boxers pay: Graphic photographs show how just one fight exerts a heavy toll on fighters' faces
Boxing is a sport more often associated with brute violence than with aesthetics.
But photographer Howard Schatz has turned thuggish fighters into the subjects of extraordinary portraits showing the beautiful side of pugilism.
The stunning pictures, collected in a new book, took six years to capture as Mr Schatz sought to investigate every aspect of the controversial sport.
Tough: Many of the boxers were reluctant to pose for the camera after suffering bruising defeats
Before and after: Photographer Howard Schatz has turned thuggish fighters into the subjects of extraordinary portraits
Battered: Neat and tidy on the left, black and blue on the right
Swollen: This boxer looks wholly different after his fight
At the Fights: Inside the World of Professional Boxing was published earlier this month by Sports Illustrated Books
When shooting photographs for a book on athletes of all disciplines, Mr Schatz became unexpectedly enchanted with boxers
Howard Schatz's incredible pictures were published earlier this month by Sports Illustrated Books
Previously, Mr Schatz has made ground-breaking explorations of such diverse subjects as actors, pregnancy and the underwater world
Paying tribute to the boxers, Mr Schatz said: 'I realised the individuals who are boxers, no one is like them'
Bloody battle: These extraordinary pictures by Howard Schatz show the toll exacted on boxers by their calling
At the Fights: Inside the World of Professional Boxing was published earlier this month by Sports Illustrated Books.
Mr Schatz trained as an opthalmologist before taking up the camera, and through the course of his career has made ground-breaking explorations of such diverse subjects as actors, pregnancy and the underwater world.
When shooting photographs for a book on athletes of all disciplines, he became unexpectedly enchanted with boxers in particular, despite their unsophisticated reputation, according to Slate.
Kinetic: Howard Schatz threw salt, water and powder at his subjects to capture these stunning photos
Champ: British boxer Amir Khan swinging a punch at a cascade of salt thrown at him
Fierce: Manny Pacquaio showing how he has risen to be one of the greatest boxers in the world
'I realised the individuals who are boxers, no one is like them,' he said. 'Their level of courage... that they would participate in an endeavor where their opponent wants to make them comatose - that sort of courage really is awesome to me.'
Many of the pictures concentrate on the extraordinary power of movement displayed by the super-fit athletes, tracing their paths as they throw punches and exercise in preparation for fights.
Mr Schatz used strobe lighting to capture the unique shots, as well as throwing water and salt on to the boxers to emphasise their kinetic energy.
Energy: Mr Schatz set up a special camera to capture this picture of a boxer exercising before a bout
Frenetic: The photographer found beauty in what is usually thought of as the most thuggish of sports
Spectacular: The project started when Mr Schatz shot a series of athletes from different disciplines and was most impressed with the phyique and attitude of the pugilists
But perhaps the most amazing pictures are gathered in a set entitled 'Before and After'.
The 12 pairs of images shows boxers straight before and immmediately after a fight, and vividly document the brutal toll which just a single bout takes on the pugilist's body.
Mr Schatz told Slate that these photographs were particularly unwelcome to the fighters themselves, who were reluctant to pose for the camera after sustaining a loss.
Legend: One of the images shows former fighter Mike Tyson as you've never seen him before
Unusual: The pictures shine a new light on a pursuit not usually beloved of aesthetes
Ghostly: Some of the images seem almost otherworldly in their extraordinary perspective
'After a boxer loses, he doesn't want to talk to anybody,' the photographer said. 'He's ashamed, embarrassed, and defeated - it's awful.
'To get someone to stand there and have someone take a picture of them after they've been knocked out or lost on points - it's really tough.'

I thought that this game was great. I liked it better than the first one because you can use spells, buy better armor and weapons, you can save, and you have a way to heal yourself. Another improvement over the first game is that you can't just run through the first couple of levels tapping a.
I think that this game would be better if the weapon reach was smaller and there was a different type of ranged attack such as a bow, crossbow, throwing knives, throwing axes, a sling, etc. It would be nice to be able to save in multiple places because the barracks in the castle are a little out of the way during the later missions, though I understand your reasoning that the player can save while getting a new mission from the king.
Overall this is a great game (9/10) and I can't wait for the sequel if there is going to be one. Keep up the good work!
This is a comment about The Rise of a King that got me a merit!!

The graphics are nice and clean, the idea is original, and at times this game makes you think. I like the fact that this game has cheats, you don't see that too often with flash games. At first I was worried that if the blocks went off screen I wouldn't be able to destroy them to pass the level, but any blocks that go offscreen are destroyed. What I really really like is that this game has no glitches as far as I can see proving that you took time making sure that this game would be good. More levels would also be nice.
I didn't like the fact that the levels don't seem to be arranged from easiest to hardest and sometimes passing a level came down to luck rather than skill. I don't understand how this game could be beaten in four seconds as it says on the high score list.
Some suggestions that I have for this game are the edition of blocks that can break into smaller blocks, can't be touched by 'tot', and differently shaped blocks. Another thing that I think would make this game funner would be a sandbox mode where you can create your own levels.
Addictive and fun,this game is a great way to pass the time. I give it a nine out of ten.
My second merit worthy comment, this time on Totem Destroyer.

GAO: Some agencies hit harder than others during sequestration
A new report from the Government Accountability Office says that some agencies, including the Departments of Energy, Transportation and Health and Human Services, experienced stalled grants and contract activity during the government shutdown of 2013.
Postal Service remains financially 'at-risk,' says GAO report
The USPS' ability to carry our its duties and remain financially self-sustaining continues to be at risk, according to a recently released GAO performance audit. Conducted over the past year, GAO's report found that the agency is projecting "unsustainable" losses through 2020.
GAO: Agencies not using performance data to decide policy, budget changes
In its new report, the Government Accountability Office found that agency managers aren't using performance data to objectively determine the success of programs before making changes to their policies or budget.
OMB, GSA winning over those skeptical of measuring back-office functions
The administration is establishing cost and quality benchmarks for administrative operations, such as human resources, finance, acquisition, and IT. After initial doubts, agencies see benefits from understanding how much they are paying for specific functions and how much others are paying for comparable jobs.
GAO: Not too early to track DATA Act progress
The Government Accountability Office is taking an early interest in how the White House and Treasury Department draft government-wide financial data standards, due out next summer. A lot is riding on those standards, says Comptroller General Gene Dodaro.
Eileen Larence, Government Accountability Office
Fighting domestic terrorism, natural disasters and cyber attacks is a multi-agency effort. The Homeland Security Department's fusion centers foster information sharing among all levels of government and in the private sector. But auditors at the Government Accountability Office find problems with how DHS accounts for funding to the centers. Eileen Larence, director of Homeland Security and Justice Issues at GAO, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with details.
Chris Mihm, Managing Director for Strategic Issues, GAO
The federal government is supposed to be four years into an effort to inventory all the programs it runs. But that effort hasn't made it very far. The inventory is a requirement of the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010. Chris Mihm is managing director of Strategic Issues at GAO. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he shared recommendations to help OMB find duplicative programs to cut.
Joe Petrillo, Procurement Attorney, Petrillo & Powell PLLC
Contracting officers have a lot of authority when it comes to deciding who wins federal contracts, but they don't have unlimited discretion. That's what the contracting officer who awarded a deal to USIS found out. In a sustaining protest, the Government Accountability Office says the contracting officer should have paid more attention to allegations of fraud against the company. In this week's Legal Loop segment, Procurement Attorney Joe Petrillo joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss this case.
Increasing building security may be a problem for FPS, GAO says
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has said he wants to increase security at federal buildings. But the FPS, the agency responsible for doing so, may not be up to the task. GAO's Mark Goldstein said the FPS has a number of long-standing problems to solve before it can adequately protect anyone.
Mark Goldstein, Director of Physical Infrastructure Issues, GAO
After a gunman opened fire at Canada's National War Memorial and Parliament, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said he wants to beef up security at federal buildings. But as Mark Goldstein, GAO's director of physical infrastructure issues, explained on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, more security means a greater workload for the Federal Protective Service. Reports from the Government Accountability Office show the small agency isn't always prepared for new threats.
Anne-Marie Fennell, Natural Resources Director, GAO
The total price for professional services contracts at the Agriculture Department is about $2 billion over the last four years. The Office of Management and Budget says those types of contracts can be very risky for you to use. Anne-Marie Fennell is Director of Natural Resources and Environment Issues at the Government Accountability Office. On In Depth with Francis Rose, she said with risk factors in mind, USDA needs to strengthen its oversight of professional services contracts.
GAO: OMB program inventory needs work to detect duplicative programs
The Government Accountability Office recommends that the Office of Management and Budget revise its guidance to agencies in order to collect better data for its governmentwide program inventory, which is meant to cut down on overlaps in program services.
Rob Burton, partner, Venable
The list of business grievances against the contracting company USIS is growing. The Government Accountability Offices says a five-year, nearly $200 million contract it has with the Homeland Security Department wasn't properly awarded. GAO cites in its decision a recent service history of contracting turbulence as grounds for further review, which includes thousands of incomplete background checks and a massive data breach that affected the Office of Personnel Management. Rob Burton is a partner at Venable law firm. He's also former administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. On In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu, he weighed the chances that debarment is in USIS's future.
Chris Mihm, Managing Director for Strategic Issues, GAO
Five out of five federal agencies fall short in meeting the customer service improvements Congress said it wanted to see four years ago. The Government Accountability Office looked at selected quintet of agencies to see if they have all the key elements necessary for high-quality customer service. GAO says all five are missing at least one critical piece of that puzzle. Chris Mihm is Managing Director for Strategic Issues at GAO. On In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu, he broke down what each agency needs to improve their customer service scores.
Chris Mihm, Government Accountability Office
In a study destined to produce big headlines, the Government Accountability Office finds thousands of federal employees are taking prolonged periods of administrative leave. In the past three years, more than 50,000 employees were on paid leave for up to three months. But for most federal employees, paid time off amounts to about a day per year. Chris Mihm, managing director for Strategic Issues at GAO, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss what they found.
GAO sustains protest of DHS contract to USIS
The Government Accountability Office says the Citizenship and Immigration Services directorate should reevaluate USIS to determine if it's indeed a responsible contractor in light of allegations of defrauding the government and an investigation by the Justice Department on those charges.

Dave Maurer, Director of Homeland Security and Justice Issues, GAO
Customs and Border Protection is up to about $2.5 billion in spending on equipment to provide a firewall against materials terrorists could use to make weapons of mass destruction. They spend a lot less than that to make sure the equipment -- and the operators -- are doing the job. David Maurer is Director of Homeland Security and Justice Issues at the Government Accountability Office. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he explained how CBP can make the most out of its covert operations budget.
After decades of DoD acquisition reform, Congress has yet to tackle cultural issues
Big programs at DoD continue to overspend their budgets and blow past their schedules because of unrealistic requirements and rosy cost projections. As part of our special report, The Missing Pieces of Procurement Reform, several acquisition experts pointed out that DoD acquisition is one of the most studied problems in the history of government.
Rebecca Gambler, Homeland Security & Justice Issues Director, GAO
The drone fleet at Customs and Border Protection isn't big, but the law states that very strict oversight from the Homeland Security Department and CBP is important. Rebecca Gambler is director of Homeland Security and Justice Issues at the Government Accountability Office. On In Depth with Francis Rose, she said Congress mandated a look at CBP's drone program.

Bella Gold Peacotum -Marketing gimmick or real?
Is this really a PeachXPlumXApricot cross? Dave Wilson's website indicates it is. The patent only indicates a Pluot X Pluot cross. What am i missing?
Its not the first time they stretched things - it is debated whether the pluots contain any apricot. Reading the patent it looks like the paternal parent is unknown but they expect it to be an apricot. Nothing about peach is mentioned. But, they could have done some genetic analysis after filing the patent and found peach was the paternal parent.
Well I just looked at the leaf picture and it has to be half apricot -- too much apricot shape in that leaf and no signs of any peach shape. Seed also shows no peach at all.
This leads me to propose the following Zaiger genetic key: "pluot" is really a plum, and "peacotum" is really a plumcot.
I think there's probably a little apricot in pluot and all three in the Bella Gold. But it may just be a 4-5 generation removed grandparent. These things are complex crosses covering many generations. At least that's my take.
To me the parentage makes no difference. All I care about is what the fruit is like. I'll be fruiting Bella Gold next year. I'm not expecting a great piece of fruit. The patent brix is I believe 15 something. That's below most of the pluot and apricot. I doubt the flavor will be the greatest ever. So yes, I'd agree this is likely more about marketing than reality. They need something new and different for marketing purposes.
Here's the direct patent link posted above.
They list 113 grams, 15.7 brix, and very good flavor in the patent application. That's not very big, about like Tomcot apricot. The pluot are mostly 120-200 grams. Also pluot are mostly listed as 18-23 brix. Mine run 3-5 points higher on average.
I can't find much on apricot brix but mine are mostly 16-24.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bella Gold patent
Fruitnut, I also don't care too much about the parents -- when I'm deciding whether to plant a pluot its the last thing on my mind. But I do get mildly annoyed that they don't give a clear statement on the ancestry. Another one in this same group are their cherry-plums, they are not crosses of regular cherries with plums, they are crosses of sand cherry and plum.
Thanks for posting. Could you give a little more description or pictures of Bella Gold? If it's fuzzy it must be more apricot than plum. But then Flavorella is fuzzy and it's more like a plum than an apricot as far as eating experience.
I'm trying it because it's maturity fits a window that lacks a little variety of fruits in my harvest schedule, it looks great from the one picture I've seen, and for the novelty. I find it interesting that both pluot, Flavor Grenade, and apricot, Blenheim, are listed as possible pollinators. I've never seen that listed before.
One can never have too many good fruits!! If this fruit is like most recent DWN releases it should be very good.
This article has a little more on the Peacotum... Sounds interesting..
Thanks Craig. The peacotums must have very little peach in them, they have half what geo pride does and it has no significant observable peach characters so it must be more like 1/8th or less peach genes itself, making the peacotums 1/16th or less. So, I stand by my above classifications as good informal, if perhaps not completely genetically accurate, guides: it is the half apricot that really makes the peacotums peacotums.
Anyway what matters the most is the fruit is awesome - the marketing team has to do what it has to do and without good marketing Zaiger would have been out of business years ago.
I'm reading this book about the pluot/Zaiger:
Only a 1/4 through it, but it sounds like they might not know how much parentage is in some of these fruit, because they've been cross bred so many times. Sounds like there are a ton of rejected fruit for how many make it through.

ADB will help revitalize and sustain economic cooperation in BIMP-EAGA, by developing a web-based trade and investment database through grant assistance approved for US$300,000.
Chinese officials in Beijing are growing increasingly unhappy with the government's policy of offering cheap loans without conditions to troubled Latin American states that might never be able to repay them.
Huge. Massive. Vast. Pick any of these words and it would more than adequately describe the need for infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean. But having failed to take advantage of the boom years to finance major projects, governments now need to look to the private sector to fill the gap.
Mexico has taken the lead when it comes to attracting new investors to domestic bond markets. But with rising rate expectations set to make dollar markets less attractive, there are several positive signs in the region's other local bond markets
LatAm delegates who struggled with the 40-hour journey to get the IADB meetings in Busan are likely to return with harsh lessons on trade tariffs rather than a recipe to replicate South Korea's economic miracle.
There is still pessimism in the business community but I feel the central bank and finance ministry are trying to get closer to the private sector in order to lift confidence

Software Engineer Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Cerner in January 2015.
I applied online on their website. I received an email from a recruiter to schedule a interview. A week later, I got the first interview. The first interview was basic HR questions and resume related question. She asked desired salary, work experience, visa status and gpa.
A week later, I had a video interview with an engineer. I expected questions from glass door, but it was mainly about advanced and detailed questions about things on my resume. He then explained details of his job and his team.
The interviewer was very nice and knowledgeable, but his microphone was not working properly, so it was really hard for me to understand his questions, and whole interview was hard because of that. Overall, it was a great experience.

First round was a basic HR phone interview. Basic questions off your resume. Was told the next round would be technical and require you to answer health-related coding questions in whichever language you are most comfortable with. This was done online using HireVue, but interviewer lost connection about halfway through, didn't get to any coding questions (although tried to get me to walk through a language I was fairly weak at before losing connection a little into it) and most questions were behavioral and based off the resume. Just finished today so haven't heard back yet.Interview Questions

should I opt for a Redi-Tile niche?
As we get closer to tiling our tub/shower surround, I'm a bit apprehensive about getting things done, especially as my DH is getting chilly feet.
We'd like a fairly large niche, or 2 smaller niches, on the long wall. I've seen preformed niches such as this one by Tile Redi (linked below). At $47 it is kind of spendy, but what say you experienced tilers, would it be worth it to purchase 2 rather than frame out one long niche? We will be using hydroban for waterproofing.
Here is a link that might be useful: Redi-Tile niche
StoneTech, have you used them before? This is for a budget renovation I'm doing myself in my old house. I'm trying to keep the whole project under $3K.
I have all the materials readily available to construct one, just looking for input on the ease of use compared to constructing my own. If they will save me lots of time, make things much easier, they might be worth it to me.
We are using one in our remodel. My husband installed it himself with no previous experience. We decided not to use the shelf that was included because it was very thick and I felt it took up too much room in the niche. Instead we ordered a glass shelf to fit that matches the glass shelf on our shower stack.
