When we first covered the electronic tongue developed by a team led by Professor Manel Del Valle at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, it was enjoying a glass or two of cava wine. Now the researchers have turned to beer, and report that their electronic tongue can correctly identify different beer varieties with a success rate of almost 82 percent. Read More
Lapka's BAM takes intoxication-monitoring to hand
If there's one thing that people associate with New Year's Eve, it's getting drunk. Some folks may use one of the various new portable breathalyzers to watch that they don't get too hammered, although those typically involve placing your lips against the device every time you use it. Lapka's Breath Alcohol Monitor (BAM), however, simply requires you to blow into your clenched hand. Read More
A molecular messaging system capable of transmitting data over several meters has been built using off-the-shelf materials costing around US$100 and some vodka. The system mimics chemical signalling seen in nature and has potential applications for communications in environments not compatible with conventional wireless technologies, such as underwater, in tunnels and pipelines, as well as at the nano scale and within the body.

Elertus keeps an electronic eye on the wine cellar
Last month, Elertus of Draper, Utah unveiled its Elertus Wine Protection System, which uses a wireless sensor that monitors temperature, humidity, and movement. It's designed to keep an eye on your wine cellar or cabinet to make sure that your vin ordinaire is properly stored and that no one is helping themselves to the odd bottle of Chateau le Tour.

Context is everything. Drinking a cocktail containing an aquatic beetle and a water lily might prove disconcerting, but in the lab of John Bush, a fluid dynamicist at MIT, and the kitchen of José Andrés, a well-known culinary innovator, these natural inspirations give rise to mixed drink magic. The aquatic beetle is transformed into an edible liquor-dispensing boat and the lily into an elegant floral "pipette" which captures and dispenses small amounts of drinks. Read More
Heineken Sub delivers super-chilled lager to the home market
When it comes to lager, it's a matter of the colder the better. The trouble is, domestic fridges aren't very cold, and the alternative is either a cooler full of ice or a massive kegerator that's more furniture than appliance. Last Friday, Heineken, in collaboration with Krups, unveiled its Sub beer dispenser in Amsterdam. Aimed at the at-home beer market, it combines compactness with some serious chill. Read More
Want to serve cocktails at your next party, but don't know beans about mixology? The Monsieur company of Atlanta, Georgia thinks it has the answer with the home version of its Monsieur machine. It's a robotic bartender tailored to your individual lifestyle that the company sees as a way of enhancing social drinking without having to constantly refer to a book or acting as bartender all night at a party. We caught up with co-founder and CEO of Monsieur, Barry Givens, to discuss the machine-made cocktail. Read More
Wanna drink some moon dust? Well, if it's not too late, you still may have the chance. Late last month, Delaware-based brewer Dogfish Head began serving up a limited-run Oktoberfest beer made from the stuff. Read More
Beer is often quaffed in the aftermath of a day of sports in the fellowship of friends and neighbors. Unfortunately, while it may pick up the spirits and increase the celebratory feeling, the dehydration associated with alcohol consumption can lead to tiredness and cramping muscles. A new study by a group of Australian Public Health researchers shows that many of these ill effects can be lessened by adding a pinch of sodium to your beer. Read More
Pat's beer concentrate promises a real brew, anywhere
For decades, centuries probably, folks have dreamed of a more convenient way of transporting beer on distant adventures supported by back, boat and bike. The problem is, no one was able to shrink a full serving of legit beer into a package much smaller than a 12-oz can, and 12-oz cans are bulky and heavy. Pat's Backcountry Beverages has broken through and done it, creating a beer concentrate that can fit into a pocket and mix a 16 oz ale with the help of plain water and an easy-to-use carbonation system. Beer is now a whole lot easier to carry ... but how does an ultra-portable, concentrated brew taste? Read More

Master's of Biomedical Sciences
About the Program | Admissions | Testimonials | FAQ
Contact: Dr. Ginger Fisher, 970-351-2210 (telephone), firstname.lastname@example.com (e-mail)
About the Program
The Master's in Biomedical Science (MBS) degree is designed to provide academic enhancement for talented students who already possess an undergraduate degree in the sciences and who want to improve their future application to a professional or other graduate school. The one year MBS program provides a foundation in various basic biological subjects that underly and support medical and other professional school curricula. The MBS program is appropriate for students preparing graduate health programs such as medical, veterinary, dental, physician assistant, pharmacy, optometry, or other biomedically related doctoral programs. A major goal of the program is to allow students a tangible mechanism to demonstrate high-level academic achievement while taking a full load of rigorous and challenging courses. Success in such an educational scenario (analogous to what the student would encounter in professional school) can support and improve the success of subsequent professional school applications.
Program Highlights
- Past MBS students have earned acceptances and/or interviews at the following health professional schools:
- Students in the MBS program have seen an increase in their overall MCAT scores and an average of a 1.5 increase in their Biological Sciences scores.
- UNC offers small class sizes with faculty who are experts in the areas they teach.
- The program includes two semesters of advanced and intensive coursework that will result in a Master's in Biomedical Science degree.
- The broad curriculum is suitable for careers in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, physician's assistant, and other biomedical programs.
- UNC has close ties to Rocky Vista University, College of Osteopathic Medicine, including campus visits and individual consultations with admissions officers.
- The program provides personal attention from faculty and individual advising in a friendly academic atmosphere.
- UNC is located in Greeley, Colorado, which provides a small town atmosphere with a low cost of living yet is easily accessible to the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
- The program is limited to 24 students which provides a sense of community and allows for individual attention from faculty.

Gabby -- MBS program, class of 2012 (now in medical school)I definitely think this program helped me strengthen my application to medical school. It really let me develop my passion for sciences and allowed me to explore aspects of biology I would not have normally. The faculty really make this program. They were so helpful! They really cared for me as an individual. I connected with them, and they helped me succeed in the program and in getting into medical school. |
Randy -- MBS program, class of 2012 (now in medical school)After beginning a different graduate program that would not provide the necessary courses to improve my application to medical school, I applied to the MBS program. Upon arrival at UNC I knew this program would be a perfect fit for me. The professors and the material covered in the program definitely increased my knowledge in the biomedical sciences and mimicked professional school far more than an undergraduate pre-health program. Anyone looking to increase their competitiveness or knowledge in the field would do well to join the family at UNC. |
Penny -- MBS Program, class of 2013The MBS program at UNC is a great opportunity to work with faculty who are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and concerned about developing individuals who will succeed. This includes inside the classroom and outside. The MBS program can help you improve your academic record, strengthen your application, and gain knowledge that will prepare you for the materials presented by professional schools. This program has been paramount in my preparation for medical school and has given me extreme confidence in myself. I would recommend this program to anyone thinking about applying to a professional school, or even looking for a challenging Masters that will prepare them for careers in research, industry and beyond. |

Hello All,
I am new to ferns and just added a new shade garden to my yard after 10 years of full sun gardening I finally have some shade to work with. I received this fern in a trade and now it has filled in sufficiently to post for an id. Can anyone help me out? I recently added Bradfords Beauty and an Ostrich Fern. Can't wait to see the ostrich get going. I am really enjoying the ferns! Thanks so much!

Could you break off a frond that has spores and take a picture of the spore pattern? |
I will do this tomorrow and post a picture of it. Thanks, tracy |
Hi, I can't seem to see any spore development on any of the fronds. This was the most mature of all of them so I took a pic of the underside anyhow, hoping it will assist in the id. The curliness reminds me of parsley. |
Are you sure its a fern?..i dont see any croziers(fiddleheads) |
You might try looking into the Cryptogramma species. They are called the "parsley ferns" and are very hardy ..adds up... |

Hi all,
Well it happened again - needing to make a hasty decision. Our back framer was here today, and surprised us with needing to know our exact size and location of shower niche. We knew where we wanted it, but not the exact size. We quickly figured out what size we wanted based on how many shampoo bottles, etc we wanted to store. However, it wasn't until after he had left, that I realized that the exact size of the niche should have been considered in light of our tile size. We don't want extra cutting of tiles just to accommodate a niche that is slightly wider or narrower than a tile size. We are building a big addition, and have had other more urgent decisions to make, so tile choosing has not been done yet. Can you advise on the following: a)If we choose a 12" wide tile size for example, should the width of the niche be in increments of 12" exactly (i.e. 12, 24, 36, etc)or do we have to make the niche box slightly larger than the tile width (if so how much wider). b) In a tub shower/combo we have located the niche up high for shower use. Should we also consider a lower niche that can be reached when having a bath (showering will be more frequent than bathing). Thanks for any opinions. Carol |
Follow-Up Postings:
There is another recent thread re: niches wherein my DH wrote in detail about building our niches. He built ours, taking into acct our storage needs of bottles and soaps, and the shape/size of our tile. However, once our tile guys started installing our tile, DH did have to make some adjustments to the niches themselves to allow for full tiles as needed, etc. |

Cat mom, Thanks for responding. I found that other thread -- it was very helpful!! BTW, I also posted a question to you about the Toto Soiree toilets on the recent sanigloss question still on page one. Any chance you could take a look and comment? Thanks, Carol |

Ex Girlfriend Poses Naked in Mirror
This is one of those photo sets where we both curse and thank the cell phone camera gods. On one hand the quality really stinks, but on the other, we probably would never get to see her naked without it. And I think you would agree that she has quite a nice body. She has some great tiny tits, some nice curves and I'm loving that sweet little pooper of hers. These pics came in in all different sizes, so you can't really tell, but I also love that she wore high heels in each picture. Considering some of them are shot at different times, I'm thinking this is one of those girls who understands that naked and high heels go great together.
Ken didn't send along any kind of backstory about his ex girlfriend or their relationship, but the photos tell me that she was a lot of fun; at least for a little while. I mean, any girl who removes her clothes and straps on some heels for her own self photo shoot to send to her boyfriend has got to be a bit of a freak. I guess we will just have to come to our own conclusion on this one. Thanks for sharing, Ken!

You know, I found it interesting that Elm's opening dialogue in this game is different from the other versions. He starts out by just giving you a Pokemon for a sensible reason, and THEN he gets the email from Mr. Pokemon. I'm going to keep an eye out for little differences like that and let you guys know ;D But anyway, on to the update!
<Welcome back, ladies and gents, to another episode of Chars Crystal Clear Nuzlocke run! When we last left off-->
When did this turn into a television series?
<Excuse me! I was working on an introduction!>
<As I was saying, in the last update, Char was about to take her first steps on Route 29. Since she has yet to claim Poke Balls, the Nuzlocke rules have not yet kicked in However, the first encounter on a journey is always the most excitingan omen of sorts, if you will. She and her new partner wander into the tall grass, keeping their eyes peeled for wild Pokemon Suddenly, the grass shifts >
And the first mon is a Rattata What kind of omen is that?
<Hmm Well, it could mean that you will be trolled by purple rats your entire run. But Im no horoscope specialist.>
Woopeee. Well, let the grinding begin. Go, Toby!
<Prepare to meet your doom, Sir Ratty!>
Lets make this quickstart with Leer.
<You got it, boss! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyooooooo!>
o__________o Um did he just shoot lazers from his closed eyes?
<Ah yeah, take that suckah!>
<Mmm, yes, your Fire type continues to impress me, Char. Thats sarcasm, in case you couldnt tell.>
DUDE. LAZERS. Toby, you have achieved a whole new level of awesomeness! 8D
<*mental facepalm*>
Route 29, you are going down! Lets kick rat trash, Toby!
<Now thats what Im talking about!>
<Fantastic Let us fast forward through all the barbaric battles these uncivilized mongrels get engaged in and skip to the next town, shall we? Char and Toby enter Cherrygrove City, which is hardly a city at all, actually.>
Hey, Suicune?
<What is it now?>
I found this on a tree back on Route 29what is it?
<That would be a BERRY, Char.>
I know thatbut what kind of berry?
A Razz berry?
An Oran Berry?
<Char, those dont exist in this game. Its just a BERRY.>
Just a berry?
BERRY Thats boring. What does it do then?
<It heals 10 hp in battle.>
So it is an Oran Berry!
<No, no, no, itsGah, nevermind! That old man wants to show you around. Go talk to him!>
Hello, rookie! Would you like me to show you the ropes?
Whoa, hold on, old manIve been playing Pokémon for YEARS. I dont need your
Tutorial time is fun! Follow me~!
Wait, no IGAH WHY CANT I CONTROL MY BODY???
<Thus Char became aware of the mechanics of the game, learning about important buildingslike the Pokémon Center, the Pokémon Mart. And she got to see the sea in all its grandeur.>
This is the sea, as you can see.
I SEA what you did thar.
And this is my house. I get rather lonely at times.
Uh-huh Can I get going now?
Wait, I have something for you!
Dude, I accept gifts from strangerswait, unless Is it running shoes?
Omigoshcoulditbethatwouldbeamazing :D
Here ya go!
These arent running shoes
Nopeits something even better! A map card!
Well I guess that could be handy. Weird that I didnt have a map to begin with, though Thanks, old man.
Dont be a stranger now!
<With her personalized tour of the town complete, Char finally gets the opportunity to recuperate in the Pokémon Center >
Good evening! Youre out late.
Dont judge me.
< And shop at the Pokemon Mart.>
Dont ask me about Poke Balls, kid, I aint got none.
Tch, you never do in the beginning. Kind of convenient, huh? HUH? You just HAPPEN to be out of Poke Balls the instant I start my adventure. Doesnt matter, thoughI always get my first ones for free elsewhere. BUT IM ON TO YOUR LITTLE SCHEMES!
What in the heck are you talking about?
Thanks for the stuff.
<And thus, having explored all there is in the city-thats-not-really-a-city of Cherrygrove, Char continues on to Mr. Pokémons house, taking her first steps on Route 30.>
Hmm wonder what kind of Pokémon we can catch here ?
<Char wondered this, but even as she wondered the grass began quivering before her What should appear but a Spinarak!>
*o* Y U No Have Poke Balls? Dx Ah, well. Toby?
<Yes! More action! Bwah-ha-ha!>
<Great, this guy again Well, if I must narrate Toby and Spinarak immediately engage in a battle; both use their extremely limited move set to their maximum potentialhowever, each of their attacks miss their attacks.>
<It seems we are evenly matched, spider. But you are powerless against my LAZAH VISION!!! WEEEEEEEEEEYOOOOOOOO!>
< Why did I volunteer for this again? At any rate, the Spinarak was incapacitated-->
<You mean, decapitated! >:D >
< Incapacitated and Char pushes her way through the wild grass up a gentle rise. Her path is obscured by tall pines, but as the path winds through the groves a house appears on the horizon. No doubt this is the home of the eccentric colleague of Professor Elmthe fantasist who isolates himself from society and spends all day and night on various internet forums.>
All right, guyswere nearly finished with this mundane tutorial-of-a task. Whos ready for phase two?
<Dude, Ive grown like 5 whole levels in this post. Im freakin ready to move on with life.>
<In typical Nintendo fashion, Char skips over knocking on the door and barges right into Mr. Pokemons humble abode.>
AH A PERSONWait, are you Char?
Yep, the one and only. You must be Mr. Pokémon.
Oh, ah Yes. Yes I am. Er, hold on, Ill,er, get that thing Just stay put and dont touch anything. You can visit with my friend, Professor Oak.
Hello, Char!
AH A PROFESSORWait, you! You got me into this mess!
I beg your pardon. I dont think weve met before.
Pfffft, of course we didyou had to ask me whether or not I was a boy or girl. And then you asked me for the time.
Er, I assure you I have no idea what youre talking about.
Playing dumb, are we? Well, Im on to your little conspiracy! Mark meI got my eyes on you!
You have quite the imagination, dont you?
Le Me:
Right Well, I dont suppose I could ask you to do something for me?
Fill out the PokeDex?
How did you
I told you, Im on to your little games! But sure, why not. Everyones giving me free stuff right now.
Thanks! This will help out our research tons!
Sure, considering the LIMITED amount of Pokémon I can actually catch
Okay, I found it Can you take this back to Professor Elm?
You got it, Mr. Pokémon. If thats your real name
Of course it is. Now, hurry along. Shoo, shoo. Im sure you children have better things to do. Go do... child things
Whatevs. Adios, peeps!
<Char steps outside, just in time for>
The call of fate!
< Its rude to interrupt you know.>
Char, its horrible!
Say no more, Professor! Were on our way! *hangs up* Toby?
<Sounds like a job for the fiery ninja of death!>
<Sped on by a sense of urgency, Char and her partner rush back the way they came, retracing their steps to Cherrygrove City. Yet as they skipped their way through the village, an obstacle came their way >
I told you, old man, I dont want any of your advice!
But tutorial time is fun! D:
Cue Angry Ginger Kid. Heh, ya know, I thought he was a girl back when I first played Silver. I named him after my sister once >:3
Get out of my way!
Hey, dudenot cool. Picking on lonely old men How low can you get?
Mind your own business, brat! Unless you want a piece of this?
Ew. The only piece I want from you is your money and some battle experience.
You want to battle? HA. Funny. You look laughably weak.
Toby, did you hear that? He called you weak.
HAHA, thats your Pokemon? It looks like it cant even see straight! Hey, rat-face! Im over here!
Why dont I show you a REAL battle-worthy Pokemon? Come on out, Totodile! Lets show this freak what were made of!
Toby (Level 10) vs Jaws (Level 5)
Dude, are you serious?
Shuttup and fight! Jaws, scratch!
*sigh* Toby?
<Two turns later, Chars victory was sealed. And the gingersI mean, the strange boys hopes were seared. Literally.>
Um, you better go get that checked.
F-freak! Were you trying to kill me? You should learn to control your Pokémon!
You did insult him. He doesnt take kindly to that.
<Hold on, I missed a spotHIS FACE.>
Toby, thats enough. Come on, Silver, let me help you out.
*offers hand*
*swats it away*
I dont need your help! Im going to become the strongest Pokémon Trainer in the world, and then Ill stomp you and your rat flat!
<With that oath, the angry ginger kid ran off, quickly slipping from Chars vision.>
You know Hes the biggest jerk since Gary But I cant help but feel sorry for him.
<What? Why would anyone feel sorry for him?>
Well, its a major spoiler in the game but SPOILER, hes Giovannis son.
< Wuuuuuuuuuuuut.>
Yeah. Angsty fangirls eat that up.
< You aint a fangirl, iz you?>
We need to hurry back to the lab!
No changes, lol

10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. | 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. |

" what?!? You think I ain't got playstation?!? Im rich bitch!!!
" Now pick up your sticks and take this @sswhipping!"
these kids should be paid for the revenue they bring in.
That's just hustler ingenuity and true grinding. As a Marionaire, I guess I can respect that.
as a marionaire, i respect the fact young dj avoids hating at all cost.
i think that's part of the recruiting philosophy as well. The defensive backfield is big long athletic guys.
now u must excuse me im late getting home to fill up bucknasty's momma's water bowl...
the most diabolical hater of all time!!
I dunno I kinda like young jameis. hes not the brightest guy in interviews but he has a calm demeanor. fsu was is the best team in college football and i hope they prove it tonight
"It amuses me these kids can't smoke weed or use steroids, but they're allowed to be injected during games with a drug that allows a man to play a half of football with a broken foot. There's nothing "performance-enhancing" about that, no sir." so true
they will throw on us and we will run on them... bucks by 10
205 tops? c'mon man
joey bosa will be the top pick barring injuries. the kid really has it all.
how well does msu travel?
i would be more worried about msu if it wasnt for the walrus
the hate is valid
i think joey bosa is a legit pass rusher as well
we marionaires have been hip to the lady bligh game for yrs
jordan lynch does remind me of a small tim tebow
mike mitchell really does run a 4.3 40 though. 240 lb missile
big week last week gamaliel!!
pop bottles, bury hookers, and stay up all night
i wouldn't mind seeing vrabel getting the dc position. i thinn herman stays until the time is right. i like fickell but i don't think tosu losses much.
it almost isn't fun to gloat when aacc is this bad. urbs & co might hand meatchicken their worst loss ever at the big house in a few short weeks!!! lol
how many of these players are signed?
big win for stanford... i hope baylor doesnt jump tosu :/
this offense is one of the best i've ever seen and i think it's going to keep getting better
great job ramzy! dantonio knows how to build a great defense that's for sure.

"Village Renewal" Markt Taschendorf Favorite Tip by Nemorino
Markt Taschendorf Favorites: 1 reviews and 1 photos
Favorite thing:
This fountain looks old, but it isn't, because the writing on it reads Dorferneuerung (= Village Renewal) 1986-87.
The Village Renewal programs in Bavaria are for villages of up to 2000 people. Funding is provided in part by the European Union and in part by the Bavarian State Ministry for Nutrition, Agriculture and Forests. The ministry also provides moderators and ideas, but the decisions are made by the villagers themselves. This slows things down but often leads to a high degree of satisfaction with the results, as here in Markt Taschendorf.
The Village Renewal programs aim to provide a long-term improvement in the living, work and environmental situation in rural areas, including land reform and improvements in the infrastructure of the village.
Though the first big push for Village Renewal in Markt Taschendorf was in 1986-87, the process continues to this day. Recently there have been two public meetings on the topic of putting up windmills to generate electricity, so as to increase the self-sufficiency of the village and provide for future needs. Moderators from an organization called bbv-LandSiedlung presented various alternatives: individual farmers who can afford it can put up a windmill of their own, or they can invest in a group project or lease a plot of their land for a windmill to be set up. The villagers themselves will decide whether windmills should be built and if so where, so as to cause minimal disruption to farming and wildlife.

it's probably about the worst plan for the needs you allude to considering a member of your family has reaching/ambulating/moving around issues.First-to get an energy bar or a fruit cup from the pantry shelf...how would that be.....second-to do something at the corner sink like get some water-how would that be? third-while another person is at the sink, to get into the fridge to get something cold-how would that be?...fourth-to spend a bit of time maneuvering at the microwave while other family members are moving between sink/fridge/stove.....how would that be? I would scrap this completely. |

The refrigerator even if counter depth is not going to be even with the counter as it is shown. If cost is an issue and you are buying at scratch and dent, etc. than a counter depth might be to pricy or just not available. I would plan on a standard depth. I don't like the fridge on the back wall. You have to wall through the whole kitchen to get to it. Must that wall be angled by the sink? Don't be discouraged by comments. Everyone here wants you and your family to have the best kitchen possible based on your budget and your needs. |

I see on the building forum LL did a great layout for you. I was going to post one very similar but hers is better. Random things... Most prep takes place between a sink and the cooktop. Ideally you want counter space between these two without having to cross the kitchen. Having had to live with something like that I would never want it again. Imagine a hot pot of pasta at the cooktop, having to turn around and walk to the sink. It doesn't seem your kitchen space is big enough for a walk in pantry. What about some shallow depth pantry space across from the coat closet with you show a desk to be? You then could put any overflow in the basement. A nice induction range would save you a lot of space and money! Just wanted to add, even if your child turns out to not have any mobility issues (which I hope is the case) the kitchen layout as is would not function very well. |

Unfortunately, I agree with herb and debrak, this is not a plan that will make a comfy family kitchen. Everyone will bang into anyone else trying to use the space. What sort of a door were you thinking of for the pantry? Perhaps you were thinking of leaving it open? My concern is that a door will either open into the fridge or the wall ovens, neither of which is convenient, but leaving it open will look unfinished. Considering that one family member will have mobility issues, I would consider a table height island or peninsula. If this child ends up with a wheelchair, then it can roll right under, and if he or she ends up being able to use a walker or whatever, then he or she can sit without having special help. While this child is small now, eventually he or she will weigh more than you can lift. Besides your physical limits on lifting, said kid will want to be as independent as possible and mesh seamlessly into the rest of the family without special attention as much as possible. Our previous kitchen had a table height peninsula, and I was torn on building the new one that height or bar height. We went with bar height, but I often miss the lower height for functional reasons having nothing to do with mobility issues. |

I agree about the flaws in the pantry design: it's really not a good choice for any household that might have a wheelchair or walker-user, of any age. The big open center of the kitchen (sans the ubiquitous island of modern kitchens) is good, though. Range the rest of the kitchen zones (without the closed pantry room-ette) around the perimeter. And give some thought now to how to "universal-ize" the access in the future by getting counters, sinks and cook-top lowered and free from understory cabs for wheelchair access if your child gets older and still uses a chair. For instance: change the sink-blocking DW placement to one that's in-line not at an angle to the sink. Get a drain that tucks back and down rather than straight down. Get a wall oven that's an under-counter model (or mount the pair so one is lower than would be typical, or at least plan to make that alterable later). Have your island be table-height, not counter height, or have it be two-levels or have a removable raised section or chopping block in one section. Also you appear to have two kinds of floor materials in the open plan. Have one so you have no barrier as you around this open space. I know it's your young child with accessibility issues, but for planning purposes you might rent an adult-sized wheel chair for a week or so and try sitting and moving around a house in it yourselves. This will give you an appreciation for the space needs involved that might not be apparent now when you may be just carrying a small child. HTH L. |

All that mentioned above +++. Plus, I'm not sure what that little jog in the wall is supposed to be doing. Angles create problems, and it's not adding anything but expense with no return on any design element. Overall, the whole home isn't as unversally designed as would be appropriate for a new build with someone with a disability in mind. You REALLY need the services of an architect who is familiar with those issues. It will end up saving you money in the long run even though it's an expense up front. You can't afford to have mistakes and revisions on the fly as the space is framed out and you then realize it won't work. Like that bathroom that isn't big enough or designed correctly for someone with disabilities. And I'm sorry, but it's like the kitchen is the anti-universally designed space. It's simply unworkable for even a fully able family, but if you add in a disabled member, it's an active barrier to a good deal of their life. You need professional help. Not everything can be DIYed. |
I would definitely reconfigure that island so that your child will be able to use it when they get older and can help in the kitchen. Also consider having the kitchen sink and a prep area wheelchair accessible, or can that can be sat at so that they can help with cooking and clean up chores. Just because they can't walk doesn't mean that they will not have to learn the life skills to make a simple meal, unless there is a intellectual co-disability. An occupational therapist might be another resource to help you configure kitchen and bath spaces. OTs help people with disabilities navigate and manage everyday tasks like dressing, bathing, and cooking. The consult might even be covered by your health insurance. |
Hi, wild. Since you're new and might not be sure, I hope you don't think everyone is just piling on. What I'm seeing is real concern that your plan is not going to make you happy, and extra concern because you are in the early days of dealing with a child with disabilities. The older folks among us count many with some experience on that front. We spend a lot of time agonizing over just the right drawer pull or perfect tint of white, but that's mostly just happy frou-frou. Basic good design and design for unique circumstances is more than cosmetic preferences, it is the bones of your project. If the bones don't work, the project won't work. I hope you're OK with this sort of feedback; it's honest and given with the best of intentions to help you land on a plan that you love and that works for you. |

Well, you asked for a critique, and you got it :-) I'm not a KD, except for myself, but I designed my last kitchen myself without a professional KD - just the excellent services of forum members. I ended up with a kitchen that was almost perfect in its layout. I'm just saying, take what everyone's telling you and give it a good hard look. They're trying to help you get something you'll not only love but that will work for your family. |

I like LL's layout on the builder forum as well. I'd go single level island though. And I'd think through the costs and benefits of the prep sink - not clear to me it's worth it. |

Here's an option...or you could swap the fridge and wall oven, if you don't want the prep sink on island.
Wow, thanks for all the honest advice. Don't worry about me; I have some pretty thick skin and would rather be told flat out it is not going to work than have it sugar coated. You all have brought up some great points. I am so glad that I posted this here before going forward with the plan. On the builder forum, I addressed everyone so far individually, but there are already so many responses I am just going to address all the points as a whole. The angled wall was just to give the back of the house some character and allow a window from the kitchen to look over the deck. I originally had the sink where the range is and the range where the fridge is, but had no where to go with the fridge then. I think the angled wall is one of those things that I am just having a hard time letting go of, but if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. A nice pantry is on our must have list. We currently use our office closet to hold most of our pantry stuff due to a small kitchen. Putting a closet-like pantry where the desk is, however, seems like a great idea. I had thought about the accessibility issues with a corner pantry (with a door swinging to the ovens BTW) but blocked it out due to my wants. On the builder forum, someone recommended having removable lower cabinets, and I thought this was a great idea, especially under the sink. The wall oven will be mounted so that when the door opens the typical wheelchair can fit under the door for best access (may or may not be a double depending on what we find). Our local appliance store constantly has counter-depth fridges in the scratch and dent area. Several people mentioned that this would not work for a family cooking together; can someone expand on this? I am open to the idea of starting over in the kitchen but want to know what to consider. LL's layout does flow much better, so when I start hitting delete on Sketchup, I will have hers open so I can pull ideas from it. Thanks for all the great advice so far. Keep it coming, don't hold back, and sorry it took so long for me to respond. |

One other thing...have you considered flipping the kitchen and dining room? It would be a few extra steps to the pantry (if you put it in the closet location) but the dining room would be your view, as you walk in the front door. My view is my fridge...and I wish it was my dining room! If you used a banquette against the dining room wall, you'd have a bigger area for an island. Maybe banquette on wall, with pedestal table and chairs on three sides? That might be a cozy spot for games, too :) |
If you bump the kitchen outside wall up even with the master bedroom wall, you'll have some more space at the other end for a pantry. I totally understand wanting a little interest on the back of the house. Maybe a bay or box bay in the two bedrooms? Kids love a nook with a window seat :) |
Congrats on a new house and also for having thick skin. I am not a design expert but have worked in rehab a long time. Induction is great for wheelchair users - one option is to open the areas under the cooktop and sink to allow your child to use these appliances as she gets older. Consider a side opening oven - might be hard to find in scratch and dent but allows someone to get closer to the oven - as long as an easy landing space - otherwise - be sure to get easy glide racks such as in the Elux oven so the racks pull out. I would verify the height of the ovens to be sure they are somewhat accessible. - I don't like the corner placement for mobility impaired as it limits access from the side. The lowered work area will be nice for a wheelchair user - but might need to round the corners to keep from bumping - or you can get pull out work areas as another option. One thing that we used was a pull out pantry - Maybe just a pull out lower for snacks for your daughter would work in your plans. In time, it will all fall into place :-) |
When you clean an oven, it's helpful to be able to stand right next to the opening; an oven in a corner makes that harder. But it sure looks nice! |
I just noticed that I posted images of the same layout twice, sorry about that. here is option 2.... |
I just noticed that I posted images of the same layout twice, sorry about that. here is option 2.... |
I vote for #2 - it seems very functional with a nice flow. (And functionality is everything in a kitchen!) You can work on making it pretty one the functionality is in place. Given how you describe your lifestyle, with large family and large gatherings, getting the cooktop off the island makes the most sense to me. We have an induction cooktop in our island so it can work but doesn't seem optimal. Unless there's a reason you want to face that direction while cooking? It is also true that you might be able to take out the cabinet below the cooktop for wheelchair access. |

vote for #2 |
- Posted by tracie.erin (My Page) on Tue, Oct 1, 13 at 9:18
I like option #2, but I would also flip flop the kitchen and DR as LL suggested. A dining table with some fantastic windows or french doors on the back wall is a much nicer view from the front door than a (potentially messy) kitchen. But, perhaps that bottom room is your FR and you'd prefer to have that view from there instead. Just pointing out options to consider.. |
I can understand your concerns and also really do not care for the original layout and especially that little gateway notch opening into the kitchen. That would bug me a lot and already looks dated. I would feel trapped in that configuration. I love your option 2, good job! Congrats on the new construction. |

Another vote for #2. The only thing I might change is to make all the bar seating at table height so that when your child is sitting there with others, he or she feels part of the crowd instead of feeling like he or she is sitting at the children's table at Thanksgiving. Here are some pics for inspiration: I also agree that it's worth investigating swapping the kitchen with the DR for a nicer view from the front door. The space is open so kitchen, DR and FR would all still flow well together, IMO. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Tue, Oct 1, 13 at 14:20
I like your second layout! If you did decide to flip the kitchen and dining room...maybe something like this? I brought the edge of the house back (I know you want to limit square footage) but it also gives you the bigger bathroom. Hope this helps :) Oh, and I only moved the master bedroom door, because of your window placement. If it were me, I'd probably keep the door as you had it and move the window, so they're on either side of the bed. Then, the bed would be opposite the door and probably give you a better furniture layout.

Looks like option 2 is going to be the winner! If you all don't mind me asked just a few more questions for now.... In option 2 would it make sense to flip the fridge and wall ovens so that the fridge is closer to the pantry and rest of the house? does anyone know how difficult/easy it would be to replace a level island countertop with one like Lisa_a suggested? I ask because we currently have a bar area that is all one level and we LOVE being able to spread out our meal as we prep it. I also like the idea and feel of the higher chairs. Our physical therapist along with out many other doctors believe our son should be able to walk with assistance and may only need a chair for long "walks". Sorry fro the double talk but we are just trying to find a happy medium. If replacing the counter top will just cost us the new top and supports then I think we make go with that. Lavender Lass thank you so much for taking the time to edit the plan, it really helps for us to understand what you are thinking. The MB windows are situated over the nightstands because my wife hates windows over the bed, I know in the flat drawing it looks like a window is in the center of the room but that is actually a basement window. If you look at the 3d drawing in the OP you will se what I am talking about. As far as pushing out the back of the house, I will bring this back up to our builder when we meet next, the first time he said it would add several grand onto our cost. I agree that the view from the front door would be MUCH nicer if it where french patio doors with a dinning set in front of it. Our reasons for not want the kitchen and dinning room flipped is the distance from the garage to the pantry/fridge, the kitchen being so close to the carpet (yes I know I could easily change the carpet), and we also like out big the dinning room and living room could become by simply re-arranging the furniture. Are my reasons for this valid, or am I just too attached to the original floor plan? One last question, to make the hall bath a touch bigger, I could take six inches or so from the back bedroom (most likely office until we have another child), would 10'6" be too small? Thanks again |
Wild - much better plan - I like it - and if you can pull off Lisa's idea - even better. Swapping the fridge and oven would make sense. Will be watching your progress :-) |

I didn't even notice that in the 3D plan. The two windows will work much better, in the master bedroom. If you want more flexibility (and I always do) you could have a movable island. Locking wheels will keep it in place, unless you want to spread out for a holiday meal. Also, you could slide a narrow table up to it, for lower seating. Later, you could put in a permanent island, if you decide you'd prefer it. Unless there's plumbing or electric, the island doesn't have to be stationary. My husband came home a few months ago, after a very long hospital stay. He was in a wheelchair but is now using a walker. We have a 6' aisle in our galley kitchen, so he can get around no problem. I know you don't need that much space, but it's made me rethink a permanent island, in any future kitchens. A big table (counter height) will still be an excellent prep area and it's probably less expensive, too! :) |

Consider doing the kitchen, dining, and living all hardwood to eliminate threshholds in case a walker or wheel chair are needed. |
Number two is very similar to my kitchen layout, and I absolutely love it. I have a large island, 8.5X4.5, with a prep sink in it. It's all one level and as you mentioned, I really like being able to spread out when preparing a large meal. It also makes a great buffet when you have company. One thing we did that I've liked a lot is to have an overhang on two sides, so 4 to 5 people can sit at the island and actually face each other as they eat, rather than sitting in a row. We use it most of the time instead of the kitchen table. I also like having people be able to sit at the island and talk to me as I prep. I put induction in this kitchen, and I can't say enough good things about it. Best of luck with the new house. Cj |

AAPI Community Impact: Finding a Balanced Approach to Reduce the Deficit
President Obama knows that the best way to keep our economy growing is by ensuring a strong, secure, and thriving middle-class. By the end of the year, the President and Congress must take action to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff" and make long-term changes in how much money the federal government takes in and how much it spends. While the President is committed to working with Congress to reduce the budget deficit in a balanced and responsible way, there is no reason to hold the middle-class families hostage while we debate tax cuts for the highest income earners.
If Congress doesn't act by the end of the year, a typical middle-class family will see its taxes go up by about $2,000.
President Obama is calling on Congress to pass a bill that would prevent a tax hike on the first $250,000 of everybody's income. That means that 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small businesses wouldn't see their income taxes go up at all. And even the wealthiest Americans would get a tax cut on the first $250,000 of their incomes.
The President is asking as many Americans as possible to add their voice to the debate by speaking out about what a $2,000 tax hike would mean to them. So share your story here or speak out on Twitter using the hashtag #my2k.
Here are some simple facts as to why Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) families need to speak out about the importance of a balanced approach to reducing the deficit:
• A median-income AAPI family of four (earning around $82,000) could see its income taxes rise by $2,200.
• The 96 percent of AAPI families that make less than $250,000 a year would not see an income tax increase under the President's plan.
Click here to learn more about how the middle class tax cuts will impact AAPI families.
Chris Lu is Assistant to the President and Cabinet Secretary. He also serves as the Co-Chair of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

September 1, 2004
Wade Sanborn was a regular at Cafe Posada, a family-owned restaurant in Gilbert, when his affliction with muscular dystrophy changed the owners' awareness of the disease.
The Mexican food restaurant's owners, Susan and Oscar Lee, started an annual charity day with Gilbert firefighters to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, not only to make more people aware of the neuromuscular disease, but to raise money for the nonprofit organization that helped Sanborn.
"Getting to know somebody who has it changes the way you look at things," Susan Lee said.
For the sixth year, Gilbert firefighters will wait tables from 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday at the restaurant, 25 E. Ray Road, to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
All of the firefighters' tips, raffle ticket sales and 10 percent of that day's restaurant sales will go to the charity, Susan Lee said.
"It's so good for your heart," she said. "You just got to do these things. It's a karma thing."
The annual event continued even after Sanborn died three years ago, and became a way for the community to remember Sanborn.
The Lees raised $3,500 the first year, and last year raised $2,000, she said.
About 10 Gilbert firefighters will pair with waiters, help serve drinks and sell raffle tickets, said Gilbert Fire Captain Robert Foster.
"We appreciate them doing this. It's a great cause," said Foster, a Gilbert resident who has helped out at the restaurant the past four years. "It's just a great community-service type thing."
Gilbert firefighters will also bring a fire truck to the restaurant for kids to sit in and bring safety information for parents, he said.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a charity the International Association of Firefighters — which the Gilbert department is a member of — has been involved with for more than 50 years, he said.
Several firefighters also knew Mercy Apodaca, a Flagstaff firefighter who died about three years ago from Lou Gehrig's Disease, one of the 43 neuromuscular diseases, Foster said.
Throughout the year, Gilbert firefighters help the association by holding a lockup for people to raise money to get out of jail. They also participate in the Fill the Boot event, which is held in the spring and has firefighters standing in front of grocery stores with a boot to get people to donate money, Foster said.

If Bliz drops a proportional AMOUNT of loot for 25 mans instead of teh crappy number in TBC it will be worth running and not just farming 10 mans for marks.
This was always my biggest gripe of the 25 mans. 25 ppl and 4 drops of marks for 3 classes to roll on - what a crock! So 25 ppl enter, a max of 3 get to walk away with a dropped mark to go turn in for loot.
Pardon me, but I love seeing teh loot drop OFF the boss and not have to go to town to tell an npc, " Um hey, I got this mark thing off Grulls and was told to come see you . . ."
Its much more fun to hear, "WOAH! check this out!" from the master looter as he tortures teh raid group.
And what is with the cheap way of combining class on marks anything but lazy programming on Bliz' part . . .
Wanna make 25 man worth running? Make the item drop number be proportional to the group and make teh actual loot drop, not a token rolled on for 3 classes, then you will have ppl really building 25 man raids for actual raiding.
Questioning the fate of 25 mans in Wrath {WoW}
May 9th 2008 6:40PM I always wished for more 5 and 10 man, hard or not, but hard gives smaller, but dedicated players something to work at just like the large 25 man guilds.
There will always be, and should be, a gear difference in 5, 10 and 25 man content, but until they outlaw FRAPS, Im going to see it anyway, so the idea its needs to be earned to see it is not really a strong foot to stand on.
Gear, rep and honor for it, sure, I think 25 mans need to have their accomplishments noted.
. . . and pls, PLS stop recoloring the paper doll gear . . . I'm a pally, NOT a warrior . . .
I use wisdom after all - even as prot. (jsut a joke btw to wars.)

May 9th 2008 6:06PM its not a hard issue to address. its been done albeit for different ways before, but make dungeons ?sectionable? like, well a dungeon.
Stroll the halls and main ballrooms as a 10 man, but leave back rooms and locked doors for only "raiding 25 man content."
For us that cant get into 25 mans for real life reasons of time and jobs, let us look down into that content WILE A 25 MAN group is battling it.
I know, its on servers and separated out for each encounter, but there are many "cut scene" fights in dungeons we can watch before an encounter - most notably, Opera. So make a scripted or recorded fight we can watch from a ledge or balcony if we wish to sit and soak up the scenery. Let it be our reward besides the badges and drops for beating a certain boss(s).
I don't want to get 25 man items w/o fighting in a 25 man raid, but seeing teh bosses and lore would be great. Let us have a break between boss zones so we can see what a 25 man fight would be like but not participate in it.
just a thought . . .
