The contest in the Ambala City constituency has become more of a 'proxy war' between the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Congress nominee Venod Sharma who is seeking re-election.
Interestingly, senior Akali Dal leaders of Punjab and functionaries of the Punjab Government are camping here. Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee chief Avtar Singh Makkar is staying in the Kingfisher Tourism Resort for the last couple of days. Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal even addressed a couple of rallies here in support of SAD nominee Charanjit Kaur, wife of former Indian National Lok Dal(INLD) MLA Jasbir Singh Malour.
It may be recalled that the SAD is contesting from Ambala City and Kalanwali as per a seat-sharing arrangement with the INLD.
However, a quick tour of the constituency indicated that the 1.85 lakh voters are not going to be easily influenced by the "brazen show of strength" by the Akali Dal. Interestingly, the BJP, which shares power with the SAD in Punjab, has fielded Sanjay Sharma, a virtual newcomer.
A wide cross-section of voters belonging to all age groups told The Hindu that they wanted "development" of the City, which had remained virtually neglected over the decades.
"We are not interested in political slogans being raised by many parties in the fray. They are just serving old wine in new bottles," remarked a school teacher. She added that it was for the first time in the history of Ambala that Mr.Venod Sharma, who had served as Power Minister in the Hooda Government, had initiated the process of development in the area by ensuring that no financial shortages or procedural delays came in the way.
A young executive added that the Congress Government had made efforts to solve the perennial problems faced by the residents mainly relating to sewerage and pitiable condition of roads.
Development of the constituency seems to be the "keyword" in the mind of many residents. Also, they contrast the lack of development in the neighbouring Ambala Cantonment constituency which was "neglected" by almost all political elected representatives including the sitting Congress MLA D.K.Bansal, who is now in the fray from Panchkula.
Interestingly, a large number of residents of Ambala Cantonment, including some former well-wishers of the BJP, have decided to extend support to the Congress nominee Nirmal Singh, a senior leader and sitting MLA from the Naggal constituency which has now been abolished.
They said that former two-time MLA Anil Vij, who recently rejoined the BJP after getting the party ticket, was not only facing "opposition"n from within the BJP but also the general public as some of his "decisions" when he was MLA had further aggravated the drainage and other civic problems which have not been resolved at all.
Interestingly, the voters as well as political players have shed their emphasis on caste factors. Rather, the overall emphasis is on who can ensure development, a political observer says.

NBC's American Odyssey attempts to woo viewers who have given up on the networks for cable but it misses its mark.
"Iron Man 2" is a polished, high-octane sequel, not as good as the original but building once again on a quirky performance by Robert Downey Jr. The superhero genre doesn't necessarily require good acting, but when it's there (as in "Iron Man" and "The Dark Knight"), that takes it up a level. Downey here gives us a Tony Stark who is cockier and more egotistical than ever. Or, and here's the key, he seems to be.
All heroes have a fatal flaw. That's one of the rules of the road in fiction. Tony Stark's flaw is that he is dying. The megalomaniac act comes naturally, but now it's useful as a cover-up. His chest-mounted battery pack, or life source, or whatever it is, is running low and poisoning his blood. It works by using the rarest element in the periodic table, and to renew it would require discovering or inventing a new element. Not easy.
So Tony stands aside at big events and uses a little blood monitor--helpfully named the "Stark Blood Monitor," in case anybody sees it--that tells him his Blood Toxicity is relentlessly climbing toward death. This is his private fear, not even shared with the loyal Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who is running his company.
Stark is sponsoring a Stark Expo at the site of the New York Worlds' Fair, and he flies in for an appearance in the Iron Man suit and promises world peace. The arena is thronged with adoring fans. Imagine Steve Jobs announcing iPad 3. But trouble is brewing. His arch-rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) plans an army of rival iron suits. A Congressional committee headed by the fatuous Senator Stern (Garry Shandling) wants Stark to make Iron Man the exclusive property of the Defense Department. And in Russia, the bitter Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) believes Stark's father stole the Iron Man secrets from his own father.
Hammer hires Vanko to design a better suit than Stark's, the two suit designs go to war, we get half an hour of sensational special effects, and Bob's your uncle. But you also have a niece, sexy martial arts expert played by Scarlett Johansson, who may be more than she seems. The character was named Black Widow in the comic books, never a good sign. Fighting at Stark's side is his comrade Lt. Col. "Rhodey" Rhodes (Don Cheadle); while rocketing through a blizzard of enemy missiles, the two find time to talk. How slow must a missile be moving if your buddy has time to warn you to dodge it?
The best CGI sequence in the movie comes at midpoint, when Tony Stark decides to drive his own car in the Monaco Grand Prix, and Ivan Vanko stands fearlessly in the middle of the race, dressed like a kinky gladiator and wielding electric whips that can slice a car in two. He nearly destroys Stark, which is so exciting that we forget to wonder how he knew that Tony was driving his own car. It's after this race that Hammer signs him up.
Mickey Rourke gives us all the Ivan Vanko we could possibly wish for, unless he had a third arm to provide space for more tattoos. His performance features flashing his gold teeth in mirthless laughter, and lots of growling. Sam Rockwell gives a wry comic performance as Hammer, a querulous whiner who seems in over his head in the super weapons business.
You want a sequel, you got a sequel. "Iron Man 2," directed like the first one by Jon Favreau, gets the job done. Since both movies have essentially the same story arc, there aren't a lot of surprises, however, which started me to wondering how the guys survive inside those suits. Sure, the suits are armored, but their bodies aren't. How many dizzying falls and brutal blows and sneaky explosions can you survive without breaking every bone in your body? Just asking'. At the end of a long day, those suits should be filled with bloody pulp.

Raxco Software's New PerfectDisk 2000 Leads the Industry by Becoming the First Product to Defragment Every System File Across the Windows 95/98/NT Enterprise.
New capabilities leapfrog competition by defragmenting
Windows NT Master File Table, Directories and Paging Files
Raxco Software Inc., the technology leader in Windows NT System Resource Management, today introduced its new PerfectDisk 2000 defragmenter, the only product that can defragment every type of file on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 95/98 system disks, including the Master File Table (MFT), paging files, and directories.
Before PerfectDisk 2000, users could defragment only about 80 percent of a disk. PerfectDisk 2000 gives users 100 percent defragmentation. It enables users to schedule and control defragmentation runs on any Windows 95/98 or NT system - anywhere in the enterprise - from a central site. That gives users total enterprise-wide defragmentation of all files on all Windows systems.
"Until now, no product could defragment the Master File Table," said Jim Williams, Raxco's Windows NT products manager. "Being able to defragment the MFT is important because it is the first place a request searches to find a file. But the MFT's design makes it susceptible to becoming highly fragmented, and when it does, it becomes a disproportionate bottleneck. The ability of PerfectDisk 2000 to defragment the MFT means the initial request for data is processed faster. This is probably the most important step in improving a disk's overall performance."
SMART Placement
Raxco's patented SMART Placement(tm) technology further increases performance by relocating the most recently used files - including the MFT, directories and paging files - to a place on the disk where they can be accessed faster than they were previously. This strategy improves performance by minimizing disk seek times. No other disk defragmentation product uses this technology.
"PerfectDisk 2000 takes the defragmentation aspect of System Resource Management to a new level," said Robert E. Nolan, Raxco's president and CEO. "Now that we can defragment the Master File Table, there is no type of file on a disk whose access performance we cannot improve. PerfectDisk is the ultimate defragmenter."
Leapfrogs other defragmenters
"PerfectDisk 2000 leapfrogs the capabilities of other NT defragmenters," said Joseph Abusamra, director of product marketing. "Its capabilities exceed those of other products that cannot defragment the Master File Table, and which cannot intelligently place files according to when they were last used," he said. "And Raxco's pricing strategy, which charges the same amount for the server and workstation versions of PerfectDisk 2000, means users can save up to $200 per server license over the price of other defraggers in the market."
Other key features and benefits of PerfectDisk 2000 include:
-- Enhancements that make the graphical user interface easier to use. For example, users will now see a Microsoft Windows Explorer-like interface. -- A new command line interface that provides improved automation capabilities. For example, an administrator can now define fragmented file thresholds that can automatically initiate a defragmentation run. -- Multiple domain support, which enables system resource managers to schedule and execute defragmentation runs for every machine across multiple domains -- Support for Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 (formerly known as Windows NT 5.0).
Pricing and availability
PerfectDisk 2000 is priced the same for workstation and server versions. Prices start at $49 for single quantities. The version supporting MFT, paging file, and directories fragmentation will be available in Q2, 1999. Windows 95/98 scheduling and control capabilities will be available later in Q2.

CoffeeShop 4 Corners Storyboard Template!
This new storyboard was named after the major intersection in the small Texas town I grew up in. At Four Corners there was this huge monster oak tree that had been around forever and was the pride of our town. Well, along comes bigger roads, more cars, more strip malls, more subdivisions, more junk food restaurants, more gas stations; and even though the town resisted fiercely, the developers cut that gorgeous tree down. I can't tell you how upset the people of our town were, but there was nothing they could do, after all, it was "only a tree". But I can tell you not many people admire or rest under the shade of that gas station that took the place of our old oak tree...
When you live out in the "country" like I do, progress usually isn't pretty. The country becomes the suburbs, the suburbs become urban sprawl. It is ironic because all of those thousands and thousands of people move out here to escape the city and live in the country. Well, now where just a few years ago we had cow pastures, farm houses, and wide open spaces and beautiful woods, we now have just down the road the sprawl of cookie cutter houses with no trees, strip malls, traffic, pollution, crime, and a sky that refuses to get dark enough most nights for my kids to see the stars at night.

The well-received Pac-Man Championship DX+ will be landing on Steam on the 25th September, three years after the console version was released back in November 2010.
DX+ is an expansion of the original Championship DX, including four new maps — Championship III, Big Eater, Mountain and Highway II — as well as Dig Dug and Rally X skins. The expansion was allegedly coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network as well, though it's unknown whether as DLC or as a full game.
The Steam version will cost $9.99.

'Traveling Jagrs' Salute Future Hall of Famer With Mullet-Themed Fan Club Decked Out in Jerseys Aplenty (Video)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/15/14
Jaromir Jagr has played for a handful of NHL teams over the course of his long and storied career. Each stop along the way has brought him more accolades and more adoring fans. Some, it turns out, are more adoring than others. A group of eight friends in Calgary have banded together to call themselves the "Traveling Jagrs," in an apparent tribute to the legendary forward and all that he's done over the course of a Hall of Fame career. NESN Nation's Dan Duquette has more in the above video. Join NESN Nation: In-game home page | Twitter | Facebook Thumbnail photo via Twitter/@68isgr8

'Ensure Kerala's share of water'
Water Resources Minister P.J. Joseph has asserted that the State government would not allow violation of the inter-State Parambikulam-Aliyar Project (PAP) agreement.
Talking to The Hindu here on Friday, the Minister said "as per the PAP agreement, Tamil Nadu can take water only after ensuring the Kerala's share of water to be released during the summer months for irrigation and drinking purposes."
"Kerala will insist from the next water year, starting June, that Tamil Nadu should draw water from the PAP Agreement only after storing the State's due share in the Parambikulam group of reservoirs.
The State will also insist that Tamil Nadu should fill the Kerala Sholayar reservoir to its Full Reservoir Level (FRL) on February 1 and September 1 every year for use in the Chalakudy basin as per the PAP Agreement," Mr. Joseph said.

While symptoms vary from infection to infection, these 5 symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases are some of the most commonly occurring. According to Avert, an international AIDS charity, there are at least 25 known sexually transmitted diseases out there, so it's important to be aware of possible symptoms. Even more importantly, always use appropriate protection to avoid contracting any sexually transmitted diseases.
- Soreness. In men, gonorrhea can cause sore or swollen testicles, and trichomoniasis can cause pain or irritation in the penis. Both men and women may experience sensitivity in the genital area before herpes sores develop.
- Unusual bumps, sores, warts or blisters. This is one symptom of sexually transmitted diseases that seems to affect men and women equally. Certain strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV, can cause warts in both sexes. Genital herpes causes sores or blisters in men and women, and the first stage of syphilis is characterized by the appearance of at least one sore.
- Itching. Genital itching is the most common symptom of sexually transmitted diseases. Women with bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis often experience vaginal itching. Scabies and pubic lice cause severe genital itching for men and women. Before herpes sores or HPV warts develop, men and women might experience itching at the site. Itching around the opening of the penis is also a sign of chlamydia for men.
- Genital discharge. Bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis are all common sexually transmitted diseases that can cause vaginal discharge. For men, penile discharge can be a sign of chlamydia, gonnorhea or trichomoniasis. Abnormal genital discharge is often white, yellow or green and may be foul-smelling.
- Pain during urination. Both men and women might experience pain during urination if they have chlamydia, gonorrhea or trichomoniasis. It is also common in women with bacterial vaginosis.

Jagr does look really really good, very quick and strong on the puck. He looks very VERY confident and he is shooting, so that means he is happy and healthy.
I would say that there is a 50/50 chance he could produce at PPG or better for Dallas. I think his skill and fitness level are good enough for a PPG, but i think he will suffer a few injuries from the physical play of the NHL. I just don't see Jagr putting up a full season, i would guess he is good for 60 games in a full season. I just have a feeling that he will be getting hit a bunch more once he re-enters the NHL.
With that being said, him going to the West coast is a good strategy for him. When teams are familiar with Jagr they seem to shut him down with ease. So many east coast teams know how to prepare for Jagr, and with the Flyers it was just too easy since they used 4 full lines instead of sticking to a few good ones. When they rolled 4 lines, opposing teams best defense were always well rested when Jagr and Giroux's like came out. If Dallas tries to roll maybe 3 lines and use Jagr's line for most of the game, even at Jagr's age he can still produce. That is what Jagr is doing now on Kladno, he is carrying the team.
But like i said, if you give Jagr +22 minutes a game there is a higher chance of injury since the NHL is more physical.
Another thing to consider, i wonder if most of Jagr's current opponents in the Czech league must see him as a national icon and are probably not defending him or playing him as physical as most players. I mean could you imagine if Gretzky was from Czech republic and he was playing in his 40's in his last years, would defenders, probably growing up idolizing him, really give their all to defend against Jagr when he is possibly one of the most important sports player born recently in the country. I really wonder if that has a part in his current success.
edit: I just ordered the jersey from ebay, can't wait :-D
You can also get a helmet with a cross on it!

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Client Communication and Miscommunication RIA policies and procedures must specify what type of communications should be retained. The safest course of action is for RIAs to retain all communicationsto clients, from clients, and about client accounts. To comply with fiduciary obligations, communications must be thorough and not mislead.
- Advertising Advisor Services and Credentials Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act contains the anti-fraud provision of the statute and ensures that RIAs advertising and marketing practices are consistent with the fiduciary duty owed to clients and prospective clients.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced Monday that Paula Drake has been appointed an Associate Director to serve as Chief Counsel and Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer in the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE).
Starting Aug. 6, Drake will oversee a staff of eight lawyers and coordinate the efforts of attorney-advisors in the SEC's 11 regional offices.
According to the SEC, Drake served most recently as general counsel and Chief Operating Officer at Oechsle International Advisors, LLC, where she was involved in all aspects of the investment management business, including registering investment advisors and establishing risk and compliance programs.
She has extensive experience managing litigation, regulatory relationships, examinations, audits and internal investigations, and recently completed eight years as a member of the Board of Governors of the Investment Adviser Association (IAA), the SEC says.
Before joining Oechsle, Drake was an attorney with the law firm of Ropes & Gray, and at Fidelity Investments. She is a graduate of Harvard Law School and received a Bachelor of Arts degree and Ph.D. in English from the University of Massachusetts.
"It's very exciting to welcome Paula to our leadership team. Paula adds extensive legal, business and industry experience and expertise," said OCIE Director Carlo di Florio, in a statement. "She will help us with the continued advancement of the national examination program, including leading the critical legal function, developing our national examination policy manual, and overseeing our internal compliance team."

Help with remodel floorplan?
I've crossposted on Remodeling and Kitchens in the past but Lavender suggested I ask for help here too (thanks Lavender!)
We have a 1950 sqft home, 2 adults and 3 kids. Main level has living/dining, kitchen, 3 beds and 1 bath. Basement level has family room (leading to yard), 1 bedroom (office) and bath. Our remodeling goals are:
- Updated, more open kitchen (heart of the home and all that)
- 2nd bath on main level since that's where everyone sleeps (ideally a full bath for the kids so we can have a dedicated master bath)
Current options (both of which add about 125 sq ft to house) are:
Plan A:
Pros of this Plan:
Spacious island with seating
Slightly better kitchen storage?
Very open flow
Cons of this Plan:
No real entry - walk into middle of dining and kitchen
Dining area "floats"
Table is a bit of a hike from kitchen
Curb appeal? Either flat facade with popout porch or a popped out front door area which seems very strange and isn't common around here
too open - railroad car effect? loud?
more defined entry with symmetrical casings to frame living room and kitchen/dining
Table close to food
Curb appeal: bay window, front door set in
More casual (table in kitchen)
No island seating/slightly smaller kitchen
Not sure whether people at table could interact with those in living room
The dining area in both plans is really small which is frustrating for me. Front door can't move any further towards living room than it does in Plan B due to garage underneath. The setbacks and lot shape are restrictive of adding any more sqfootage to the front/side of house. So...
Are either one of these plans keepers?
Which plan do you prefer?
How can I improve them?
Thanks so much!
We had a front door that opened right into the dinning room. Living room was to the right kitchen straight ahead. I thought it would be kind of weird but it worked out just fine. I will add what WE used as the dinning room was supposed to be a family room. Two other owners of this same house have continued to use it as a dinning room so it must work. I really like your first plan. I like the balance to it. In the second plan there is a large open space not used for any thing but no mans land.
This is not the same lay out but it does enter into dinning room I took this picture standing at the front door. Living room to the right in the next picture.
This house is about 1850 SQ FT. Was a great house to live in.
Here is a link that might be useful: Entry into dinning room
Domino- Hi! Glad you posted over here, too. I think you'll get some great feedback.
I agree with Shades...I think the first plan looks better, too. Seeing them next to each other, it seems like it's not as crowded and you have that extra eating space, in the kitchen.
I saw this picture on your other thread, from Eliza. I don't know if it's affordable, but a box bay window like this would be beautiful in the dining area (plan 1) and really give it a focal point. I like the little wall, behind the front door, but not the one to the left. It seems to be blocking your entry a bit...especially if you could bump out a window seat, like this. From Kitchen plans
Shades- I like your picture! Such a nice dining room/kitchen layout :)
I like this last plan also. It gives you a more defined living room while letting you still keep an open space. This way everyone who comes to the door would not be able to see the entire space. Maybe the short wall behind the door could be some type of frosted glass (or that may be dated???)
I'm going to be the dissenter and say, I like option 2 better. And, in fact, this "new option" from the remodeling forum isn't very different from option 2 except in a few important ways.
1. you waste some space on hall (the backside of the 1/2 bath).
2. the 1/2 bath crowds the kitchen space.
3. you only get a 1/2 bath instead of a full bath.
In option 1, I don't like that you would be able to see straight from the front door into bedroom 2. That can be easily remedied though, if you slid the bathroom to the left, and extended the wall like in option 2.
In option 2, the kitchen is smaller than option 1, but it is still a very functional size. And, I don't think size is always the most important thing. I am probably biased, but I don't have a huge need for a separate (from the kitchen) dining space. Having an eat-in kitchen, the way option 2 is, is very functional for me (esp in a house your size).
Other things: you took the time to draw in TV in option 2 in the eating area, so I would guess it is something important to you/you'd like to have. But, where is that in option 1?
If you draw sight lines from the front door in option 2, you cannot see the MBedroom, or any of the other bedrooms, or anything. So, I don't feel it is "too open". But, it does enter you into a comfortable living space (which I prefer).
Here is a question: How would you floor the area in option 1? Would the dining area be on carpet (ick!)? Would it all be hardwood for flow of space? I think option 2 gives you more flexibility in this regard as well.
Kirkhall- Flooring is a very good point! If I did option #1, I would use laminate wood floors and use area rugs, to define the dining and living areas. I think this will get rid of any 'boxcar' feeling that was mentioned, on the other forum.
Option #2 is nice, but the seating around the dining table looks very tight. I think it would be difficult to get to the end of the table, by the window seat, if people were already sitting down.
Domino- Don't forget that whichever option you choose...special touches like window seats, bookcases, and other built ins, will give you a lot of charm, without taking up too much floor space.
OH GAH I totally agree about the carpet in the dinning room. This is how it was when we bought the place with that hideous pink carpet through out the whole flipping house. SCREAM!!!!!And FAINT!!!!!!!!
Anyway it has all been changed now. The people after us put in the floor below and it is a very nice floor. Not my choice but it is nice. But it made me crazy how they crammed the kitchen table up to the island so I did not show this picture.
I am sticking with the first plan. I had trouble with the space division in that house I am showing pictures of because of the no mans land created in the central area.
Here is a link that might be useful: New floor
Forgot to say, if I did option 2, which is still my favorite, then, I'd not do freestanding chairs all the way around the table. A built in bench/window seat/banquette, or even a free standing bench along the wall would give you more space and be easier to get to than individual chairs. In fact, I currently have a bumpout in my dining room/eat-in kitchen, and am planning a moveable built-in for the bumped out area. :) The chairs work, but it could be more spacious feeling in my space if I didn't have chairs on that one wall.
Just a quick comment. In the plan Marti8 posted for you, it shows a 1/2 bath. I can tell you that IT IS POSSIBLE with a 3.5 x 7 foot space to have a 3/4 bath. Just a shower stall at one end, a small sink just opposite the doorway, and then the toilet at the other end. Because we did it, with the pocket door in the same location. Full size all tile shower. Full size toilet (American Standard Cadet 3 WaterWise 1.2 gallon flush) and a Porcher Elf small sink . Works like a charm.
Thank you all for the great feedback. Sorry to have abandoned the thread. I had another contractor come look at the plan options and got further discouraging feedback (he thought it was odd to have the master hall in the middle of the living/dining for both plans and pointed out the wasted space of that big entry in Plan B). He proposed a kitchen remodel and then an addition downstairs to make a master suite so now I am mulling that option over again...I am really terrible at this remodeling decision making.
shades - thanks so much for the picture - I do know some people that have done a nice job with dining room entry spaces and it helps to see yours.
kirkhall - I like Plan B better too and we have all hardwood floors. I was just playing with the TV placement but it's not important. I have a little counter kitchen TV that will fit in somewhere no matter what we do.
lavender - You're right - the little touches (built ins, half walls, plate racks, bay windows) are critical - especially when you don't have a lot of space. I appreciate your eye for those opportunities.
Domino- Can you move the door to the new 'master bathroom' to the other wall, so you walk in, from your bedroom...facing the sink as you walk in...and take out the door, from the hall? That would make it a true master bathroom and you could have the new hall bath, for kids and guests.
As for the big open space, in Plan 2...just move the piano, so it's against the new bathroom wall, opposite the front door. That will open up the path to the living room...and with the piano bench, it will fill in that space, nicely. My mom's done that before, in her house. It looks great (a piano is a nice focal point) but will still give you enough room for guests to enter. If your entrance is too small/tight...then people get crowded and it's hard to get a crowd, into the house and out of the weather.
Does this help? The contractors you're talking to should be suggesting some of these things...especially the change to the master bath.
Oh, and if you can't change the master bath entrance for whatever reason...just put a french door with frosted glass (or other door) from the living room wall to the hall bath...opening up against the hall bath. This will also give you the feeling of a 'suite' and people will not be able to see into the bathroom, from the living room. Again, not a difficult change and makes a huge difference! :)
Good suggestions. I still like this plan (B) for your description of your plan to move in a few years, etc. Would adding on to the kitchen and downstairs make sense?
Also, would a new family coming in be looking to have the master on the same floor as children's bedrooms, or different floors?
I know for us, at this age of children (youngest 3.5), I can consider being on 2 levels for sleeping. But, that wouldn't have worked even 1 year ago; let alone 7 yrs ago. Who will be looking to buy your house when you are ready to move on/out?
Very good points!! Thank you all so much for trying to help me figure this out. You are saving my sanity.
Kirkhall and marti8a- you are right - it would likely be a family with young kids looking at our home given the area and they might want to be on the same level with the kids. I forgot about that.
Lav - yes - in the plan I showed the GC I had added a door between living wall and hall bath - he still thought it looked like an "unusual" layout that would seem odd.
So - I just saw Summerfield's fantastic work in another thread. I will try to post a thread to beg for his/her advice!
Meanwhile, I am going back to work on my plain old kitchen remodel plan as the larger remodel just doesn't seem to be coming together.
Without the entire floorplan, I cannot submit any ideas. I have to see it all to make sense. And show me NORTH. I am so frustrated because I cannot get my feet on the ground with this design.
Hey, you gotta know where your light is coming from, right?
moccasinlanding -
Here is the lot overview with compass:
Here is the current upper floor layout (L = living, D = dining, K= kitchen):
Downstairs is family room, bedroom (used as office) and a full bath. I don't have a pic of that right now. Office is under the master, family room is under the south corner of house. Bath under the bath.
Thanks for looking!
Oh my gosh...check out Domino's kitchen! It's adorable and I love that range! Am I the only one, who thinks maybe a pass through to the dining room...and maybe some cabinets to go under the kitchen window and replace the Ikea island...is all she needs? I had no idea the kitchen looked this great :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Domino's new kitchen post
Apparently looks can be deceiving and Domino's very cute kitchen is slowly falling apart! So, she does need a remodel and soon.
Domino- If it were me, I'd repost and put your main floor and basement floor plans, so everyone can see, what you have now. Then, explain what you'd like to have, with the remodel. I'd focus on the kitchen, depening on whether you really need to add another bathroom, or not.
Hopefully, Summerfield and others will come up with some new ideas and just work off your existing situation...not all the changes already proposed. It would help to see the basement, so we can tell what possible down there, too.
Sound good? I hope you'll get some great ideas and let everyone come up with ideas, regardless of what's already been suggested. Be sure you explain the porch can be incorporated into the kitchen, but the front door can only be moved slightly. Hope this helps :)
Domino, are the cabinet carcasses in good shape? Could you get away with having new drawers and doors made for them? That would save some money.
I read over the posts in the link LL posted, and agree with many over there who said that expanding onto the porch would be very expensive, even if you could do the work yourselves.
I like your layout as it is now, but also understand being trapped in the kitchen when everyone else is watching tv or talking in another room.
I like most of what tbb123 suggested, in this plan
Except I'd suggest a one piece oven/range where she put the range. They're usually cheaper and save space. That would save you having to move the sink, dishwasher,etc. and you could put the microwave into the new base cabinet.
Several have suggested banquettes, but I wouldn't do that unless you don't build it in. I don't think most buyers have banquettes and then there wouldn't be a place for their table & chairs.
Hi all -
Well - I continue to be amazed at the kindness of strangers! Thank you for all of your support and help!
Lav - Per your comment I am posting the downstairs floorplan. We can bump out (maybe 10x15?) starting at the bedroom window edge and going behind the bath.
marti8 - I have thought about reusing the cab carcasses but the shallow depths are troublesome! They have already had new doors put on once. I think they must be original to the house. I am in for getting new ones as we are desperate for pot/pan pullouts, etc. I completely agree with all of your suggestions about my kitchen only remodel plan and your POV on the banquette. We are thinking alike.
Sunmmerfield - Thank you thank you! Your pretty drawings are very seductive for someone who lives and breathes remodeling right now and I appreciate your time and your talent. So - I take it you prefer the more open floor plan and a top floor only remodel! I really like the idea of setting off the kitchen with the archways and peninsula. It makes the traditionalist in me more comfortable with an "open" plan. And I love that you thought about the cold air return and even squeezed in a small linen closet. The living room window seat is sweet but unlikely for us given the steep drop off to the driveway and the fact that we replaced that big window just a few years ago. ...Questions:
- Front Door placement: I like the way the front door does not open with a sightline straight down the hall. But I am still uneasy about it opening right INTO the room and so close to the bar seating (feels pub like and more like a back door a little). What do you think about bumping out to the front 18 inches for a little more entry space? According to my front setback I can bump out that much anywhere from where you have the little console table to the first kitchen cabs. I've always had a front door that opens right into the living room and I'd love a little further demarcation between entry and kitchen/dining but perhaps it is not realistic with this space?
- Light: Right now I have three 4.5 foot windows across kitchen/dining. The new plan replaces those with the large garden window (and maybe front door sidelights?). So I am thinking I might need a skylight? Any suggestions on where to put one (or two - I think the hall would need one too). Or I could add a small window to the right of the range for more light? I've sometimes thought about putting a window on the other side of the hearth where we currently have the piano (TV is downstairs) but it's north facing so not sure how much light it would add...
Again - thank you all. Just when I give up hope on making the big remodel work, you all fan the flames of possibility!
Here's a stab at Plan B - the 20 x 14 space for both dining room and kitchen. It's divided pretty much in half.
I made the stub wall next to the front door only 2' wide - to match the 2' stub created by the bathroom (at least that's what you see on the dining room side.) You would still feel as though you weren't entering right into the dining room.
And I think your contractor is wrong - that entry space is very useful as a nice breath of fresh air. Both LR and DR will feel larger.
The key to this (hopefully) feeling like a large space with connections to each other, but not like an eat-in kitchen, is the divider - a wall but with a window set in it. (I tried to show it with a glass-doored cabinet, but it would be minus the cabinet.:)
This kitchen, while not large, should function pretty well. Lots of pantry space, The sink and range in an L with decent prep space between. A good size double bowl can fit in the sink cabinet.

you're very welcome ...
the front door can , of course , be pushed to the left , slightly , but i was taking into consideration what is happening outside ... your house is already located very close to the street , and the plan moves the interior wall out about 5-feet ... it will be less expensive to keep the door flush , and use the 18" for roof above the doorway ... also , it will be more aesthetically pleasing if you have a little room for shrubbery and , perhaps , a small tree between the front stoop and the drop-off at the driveway retaining wall ...
the large window , with the transom , at the kitchen , and a half- or full-glass door at the side entry should give you plenty of natural light ... you will be removing the depth of the porch , so the volume of light will be greatly increased ...
no reason to construct the window seat , if you feel that you won't need it ... i am attaching an elevation to give you an idea of the proposed facade ... the "look" can easily be achieved without bumping the wall out ....
as far as the interior .. you seemed to indicate that you wanted a little division of the kitchen , from the livng area ... the proposed plan accomplishes this ... i would not recommend any further walls or divisions of space ... the cleaner lines will make the living/dining areas feel more spacious ... since the house is close to the street , i wouldn't care for more windows in the dining area , but the entry door can certainly have sidelights added ... but , i would recommend using "seeded" glass for both the door and the sidelights ...
also ... you have a chimney on the right side of the roof ... where is this chimney located inside ? is it on the refrigerator wall , or in the bedroom ??
let me know your thoughts ...
Summerfield- That's very nice! :)
Domino- What's under the kitchen area? Is it just storage? Furnace/water heater? Is there anyway you could take some of that space, add an egress window...and make another bedroom? Even if the space was accessed from the family room?
I know you've said you don't have two bedrooms downstairs (without giving up the family room...which I wouldn't do, either) but if you could create one more 'legal' bedroom (egress window and closet) it would solve a lot of your space issues...and make a big difference, when you do sell the house.
Hello creative people -
Your plans are helpful. So it seems I still have my Sophie's choice. Do I want an entry or do I want a more spacious (and by this I mean at least close to average size) dining area? I understand remodeling is about compromising but both of these seem like large features of a home. The reason I am have been stuck on these designs is that it is hard to swallow spending so much for a home that can't accomplish both somehow.
Lavender - Nothing useful under the kitchen - there is a finished basement workshop (no opportunities for natural light) accessed from the garage. Previous owner was a woodworker. I have tried to convince dh to use this as an office but it's pretty subterranean in there. Because of the slope we are on I think it is literally surrounded by earth so no egress opportunity.
Summerfield - You mean I can't have it all? I completely agree with your points about being close to the street, better aesthetics/landscaping opportunities and seeded glass. So forget the bumpout. And I see your point about further divisions within a small space. I guess I have been reading too much Susan Susanka. I love the idea of half walls designating spaces but still allowing an open feel. I still feel uncomfortable about a front door that swings open into space (no wall behind?) and right into stool seating. I would even be willing to keep a side facing front door that enters into the living room (like I have now) if it helped the design. I can't get over how casual it would look to have the stool seating right at the front door so I think unless I could recess the stool seating more out of sight I would forgo it. I still really like the idea of an arch to separate the kitchen from the living/dining. Now that I have studied your plan a bit there seems to be a lot of open space in the middle of the kitchen (9x10?)- even more than I have now and I feel a bit like I am doing laps. What are your thoughts on an island? The facade is pretty! Although I must admit I am not a big transom person. They are not that common around here where the craftsman/ranch look is more common. You have me stumped on the second chimney! It must be my hood ventilation/refrigerator on the kitchen side. There is nothing in that bedroom. Does this mean if I move my stove to another wall I will have an eyesore on my roof?
tbb123 - I think the measurements are off somehow - I don't have 20 feet from back door to stub wall. It depends on how long the bath would be but maybe 17 - 18? Basically the hall door lines up with the head of the table. I will try to study it tonight. Anyway - the overall concept of the plan is very smart! I am a fan of the breakfast center. I don't think I am bold enough to do a window in a wall. But I would consider a raised island end with display/shelving. And I've bookmarked some pretty glass cab separators on houzz. What your plan and Summerfield's helped me see is that I just need to delineate kitchen and dining somehow! Do you think I could accomplish that with a lowered header, stub walls or a large archway at the kitchen entrance? And yes - solatubes are a great idea that I will definitely use.
Thank you all for your continued insights.
Domino- If you want a separate entry, then I'd choose tbb123's plan...or something very similar.
As for the basement...why can't the office go in that area? I mean, offices are bookshelves, storage and desks, right? What if your husband put french doors, between the family room and the office? That would allow him a view and some natural light, but lots of lamps/lighting should make the subterranean room feel less dark. Not to sound sexist, but aren't men supposed to like 'man caves'? LOL
Seriously, if french doors would work, you don't need egress windows for an office, just a bedroom...and that would give you one bedroom downstairs, maybe for two of the kids to share and they'd have access to the family room and downstairs bath. If he really doesn't want the office space, think craft room for you or playroom for the kids! :)
I was using the dimensions you show with the extra foot pushed out on the side wall. Maybe I added an extra inch. A drawing with precise dimensions would be helpful.
"a lowered header, stub walls or a large archway "
This would really delineate the entry space. I read somewhere that it's our eyes that need the space more than our bodies do. So any half-walls, raised counters, windows,columns, etc. will make a huge difference in your perceived feeling of space and division. Sarah Susanka is all about different ceiling height, too.
I was thinking the same thing as LL - French doors into an office space would make a lot of sense. My son has an "interior subterranean office" in his place. His girlfriend hung a mirror covered with a grid, so you could swear there was a window in there. Makes all the difference in the world.
I am really impressed with the function that the porch annex would make to this little jewel. The realtor will have to put on the sign "Must see inside."
tbb123 - I'm so sorry about my crummy dimension info. I wish I could put it into ikea for you but that plug in hates my computer. Here is another pencil stab at it. Due to setbacks I can push out for only 1.5 feet for the back 5 feet of the kitchen, then bump out 3 feet along the front 9 feet of the kitchen. I marked them with dotted boxes below. My other barrier is that my front door can't go past the retaining wall. So in between the two is the entry/kitchen/ dining space to work with. Depending on how the bathroom is sized and fit into the hall there could be more or less room around that dining room door.
I was actually talking about delineating the kitchen from the dining with the header or stub wall but do you think I should do that with the entry too?
p.s. LL and tbb - great idea on breaking through to the subterranean office. Will have to investigate that further..
Hi Domino,
This is set up in the IKEA planner file, with all its limitations. The front door would be indented into the "frame" for it. The kitchen side door would also come forward 18". I couldn't show the box window/seat in the dining room, but I do show a table pulled up to it.
Yes, I'd frame out the entry AND the dining room. I remember being in a couple of Craftsman bungalows that were set up a lot like this, and you felt like you were in the entry, not in the dining room. It felt very spacious.
A view from the living room.
A view from the dining room to the kitchen. The divider is a 42" tall glass-fronted cabinet combination with shelves above.
Here's a view from the kitchen standing in front of the little island on the other side of that divider.
I stuffed 2 tables in the dining room - a cozy Thanksgiving dinner for 12.
Some kitchen views.

tbb - I finally got the ikea planner to work! thank you so much!
So - I am still looking at both options but today I am thinking that rationally I should prioritize dining space over entry space since dining is used every day. And the kids are getting bigger and taking up more space every day. Here is a take on summerfield's plan but with an island instead of the peninsula. There seems like too much open space in the kitchen of that plan (8x10?) and I can't get over the front door opening right into stools. I also flipped the little linen closet to the other side of the hall to max kitchen storage...
Thanks Kirkhall. Yes - I see your point and it is still a small dining area (about 12.6 x 11) but relatively bigger than it is in the "entry plan" (tbb's or my "plan b" at the top of the thread) which is roughly 8.5 x 12.5. (FYI my current dining area is a whopping 7-8x10) Point also taken on aisles. This allows for roughly 3.5 foot aisles.
Now I am really rolling on this ikea planner. Here is the Summerfield plan WITH peninsula (not island) but I recessed the peninsula back into the kitchen to hide the stools from view and cut down on the big open space in the U of the kitchen. Advantage here is 3 stools for 3 kids. Not sure what to do with the funky wall end of the peninsula. I sketched in a sort of china storage/bookcase unit. And ignore random cabs that are missing or look wrong. Does this ruin Summerfield's plan? Preferences for peninsula vs island?
Actually, I like the island version, but I'd move the stools to the long side, so they look at the sink and the window. You have a couple of choices, if you don't have enough room for the stools to pull out...although I'm showing over 14'6" on your plan. Depending on what you want to store in the island, you could have 18" deep shelves/cabinet on the sink side and a 15" to 18" overhang for the stools. Or, you could make the back wall of cabinets more shallow...for pantry and dish/display storage. Personally, I'd go with the shallower storage on the island and three stools for three kids :)
Oh, and I believe it's about 24" width per stool, in order to be comfortable to slide in and out. The peninsula might be a little tight, unless you take out that cabinet and have the stools slide down (towards the window wall) a bit.
You don't have the space to turn the stools toward the window as suggested without losing all your cabinets along the back wall in the island plan (she only has 3.5 ft aisles; you will need more like 60" from what I've read since they have that side door and all).
I think you actually end up with more storage with the island plan because you won't lose any cabinets space to where the peninsula meets the wall of lowers...
I *might* consider even moving your island to a 3 ft aisle on the window side so you have closer to 4 feet for everyone to access the door. If it is a 1 cook kitchen, I'd consider that. If you have a lot of extra help, well then, maybe not. But, my mom's place has 3' aisles in the working part of the kitchen, and it works okay because everyone else can stand/converse on the other side of the island where there is a bit larger aisle.

Winterize cabin water system
I have a cabin in Upper Michigan and every year I have to drain the water system all the way back to the pump to prevent the water from freezing. I normally open all the water valves in the building and then open the pitless adapter in the well to drain everything back into the well which works fine. I do like to repeatedly open and close the pitless adapter for the fear of losing the seal at some point and then that would involve pulling the pump and installing a new seal. I also have a Woodford yard hydrant installed on the water line between the well and the pressure tank. (the water line is installed below the frost line so that I can get water from the hydrant during winter when the underground shut-off is closed just before the water line enters the cabin). After I open all valves in the cabin, the valve on pressure tank, open the handle on the hydrant and shut the power off to the pump, all of the water will drain from the entire system except possibly the water in line from ground level to the frost line (about 5 feet) because of the check valve installed on the submersible pump. My question is: If I open hydrant valve will the water from the pipe at ground level flow up the stand pipe in the hydrant until the water seeks its own level. Then by closing the hydrant handle which in turn opens a weep hold to drain the water from the hydrant stand pipe. If this process is repeated several times will it drain the water so that any water remaining in the line will be below the frost line. It's like draining a water hose by keeping one higher then the other end. Has anyone successfully applied this method?
Terrymcfred, I'm probably going to have to do this myself. You'll need a couple of bottles of RV anti-freeze....
You need to rig up a way that you can connect your hot and cold hoses (mark them for the spring so you connect them correctly) to the anti-freeze - some sort of funnel arrangement....
Put it into a warm cycle, so it draws some of the antifreeze from hot and cold lines. You won't need a whole lot, then cancel the cycle and find the equivalent of the rinse/drain cycle, and it'll pump out most of the water that ran in...you can add more into the bowl of the washer as well, as insurance.
If you have a dishwasher, you'll need to do the same to that.
You'll also have to drain your hot water tank as well.
It may be worth considering doing all that, but leaving some sort of backup heating running, just as insurance.
