Assen - Friday Morning Update
The weather has changed overnight here at Assen, the sun hidden behind a thin layer of gray clouds. Temperatures are a good deal cooler than yesterday, and there's plenty of moisture in the air, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain. The 125s have just taken to the track for FP1, and the crowds are already starting to wander in.
The forecast is that it will stay overcast for the rest of the day, but the rain should hold off. Tomorrow is a different story, with a good chance of rain falling some time in the afternoon. Whether that's before, during or after the MotoGP race remains to be seen.

Casey Stoner: Last Lap Rossi Pass At Catalunya Was "Silly Mistake By Lorenzo"
The last lap at Barcelona was one for the ages, with the lead swapping four times before the flag finally fell. In the post-race press conference with Casey Stoner, the subject of that pass almost inevitably came up, as Stoner passed Rossi in exactly the same place in 2007. Ever forthright in his opinion, Stoner was clear about how Rossi's victory came about. "It was a silly mistake by Jorge," Stoner said. "He was just that confident that he had it in the bag, that he braked too early. Even where he braked, I brake later than that. If you get a little bit better run up there, it's so easy just to run it up inside. You saw it was an easy pass."
"Jorge braked earlier than he had been braking all race. I was behind him earlier, and he was braking much later than that then." But Stoner didn't expect Lorenzo to make the same mistake in the future. "He was just thinking about getting a run for the line. But Jorge learns, and he'll learn from this mistake."
2009 Assen 250cc FP1 Result - Bautista Takes First Blood
Alvaro Bautista took control of the first session of free practice for the 250cc class late on in the session, after Marco Simoncelli stood in top spot for much of the first half of the session. Bautista had to hold off a storming Hector Barbera, Barbera coming up just under 2/10ths short of his fellow Spaniard's time. Mike di Meglio finished the session 3rd fastest, putting the Aspar bikes in 1st and 3rd places on the timesheets. Fresh from his announcement of signing for the Gresini Honda team, Marco Simoncelli could only managed the 7th fastest time, over a second behind his title rival Bautista.
But much of the excitement in the session focused around the Team Toth pit box. After reports of unpaid bills, and promises of bank transfers, the Toth bikes stayed eerily silent for the first half of the session, the bikes stuck firmly inside the garage. It was only at the halfway mark that Pasini took to the track, followed shortly after by team mate Imre Toth, a last-minute deal finally being reached to solve the problem. The episode seemed to provide Mattia Pasini with a great deal of motivation, for the Italian was up into the top 3 within a few laps, finishing the session in 5th spot behind Alex Debon.

2009 Assen MotoGP FP1 Result - De Puniet Leads Tight Top Three
Randy de Puniet was the surprise leader at the end of the first session of practice for the MotoGP class. The Frenchman pipped Valentino Rossi in the final seconds of FP1 to take over the lead, consolidating his run of strong results over recent weeks.
The session had been dominated by the Yamahas from the opening minutes, with Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo taking it in turns at the top of the timesheets. But just before the halfway mark, an interloper stole the top spot, Colin Edwards bringing the times under the mid-1'38 mark. Edwards' time held for 10 minutes or so, at which point the injured but still fast Dani Pedrosa took over the top spot with a lap of 1'38.194.
With quarter of the session left, Rossi and Lorenzo took to the track again, and dropped under the mark set by Pedrosa, Rossi breaking into the 1'37s. Despite the best efforts of Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner, they could not best Rossi's time, and it was left to De Puniet and the LCR Honda to topple Rossi from the top of the standings.
Stoner did manage to beat Jorge Lorenzo's time, taking 3rd spot behind De Puniet and Rossi, but the order of the top 3 is almost irrelevant. Just 0.03 of a second separates De Puniet in 1st from Stoner in 3rd. Less than 2/10ths behind Stoner, Lorenzo and Andrea Dovizioso are similary very close. In fact, the top half of the field is close, the first 11 riders separated by just 0.653 seconds.
James Toseland had a strong start to the session, and finished a respectable 9th, better than he has done recently, while Nicky Hayden was back as second fastest Ducati, edging out Mika Kallio in 12th place. Fastest Ducati or not, 12th position is not where Hayden really wants to be.
2009 Assen 125cc FP1 Result - Simon Takes Top Spot In Last Moments
Julian Simon leads the first free practice session for the 125cc class at Assen, as is his custom. But the Bancaja Aspar didn't reach that top spot until the very end of the session. Nicolas Terol, Bradley Smith and Sergio Gadea took it in turns to nudge him off the top every time Simon set the fastest time.
Behind Simon, Gadea, Terol and Smith were closely bunched, with British rider Danny Webb setting the 5th fastest time, a result that will surely please his sponsors, Dutch engineering firm De Graaf. Marc Marquez was first KTM in 6th, his team mate Cameron Beaubier only managing the 21st fastest time, just behind the other British rider in the 125cc grid, Scott Redding.

MotoGP To Be Shown On Network Ten In Australia From 2010
Good news for MotoGP fans in Australia. From 2010, all MotoGP races will be broadcast live on the ONE channel owned by Network Ten. The deal covers all classes, which means that 125s, the new Moto2 class and MotoGP races will be shown live on Network Ten's free-to-air 24 hour sports channel. ONE will show all MotoGP races, highlights of the 125 and Moto2 races, as well as qualifying practice. The channel will also broadcast a pre-race show hosted by Greg Rust and former 500cc star Darryl Beattie.
The races will also be shown delayed or simulcast on the network's TEN channel, after Sunday night prime time. The deal came about partly as a result of a resurgence in interest in the class thanks to Casey Stoner's world championship and continued success in the series.
Assen - Thursday Morning Update
The sun is out at Assen this Thursday morning, and the prospects are for good weather. A large crowd of fans have already thronged the pit lane walk, gawking at the bikes put out on display. Identifying the Fiat Yamaha garages or the Repsol Honda garages was simple: They were the ones which you had to squeeze through the crowds. For those with a fetish for two strokes, the pickings were much richer: bikes were out on display and in the pits being fettled.
On the subject of two strokes, the Team Toth pit was open, and Pasini's Aprilia RSA was being assembled. Word in the paddock is that Toth has given Aprilia assurances that the outstanding funds will be paid, and Aprilia will allow the bike to be scrutineered. Whether Pasini will be allowed to race or not depends on the promised bank transfers actually taking place.
The stands are slowly filling up, and hordes of pasty-faced Northern Europeans are working on acquiring that lobster tint which Assen so often seems to produce. The heat and sun is great for the riders, though, as they face the prospect of getting another three full hours of practice in, uninterrupted by rain. The only factor they will have to deal with is the win, as a stiff breeze is coming in from the north east, hitting the bikes fully in the flank as they line up for the GT chicane.
Race day is likely to be different. They say it's going to rain at some point, but the quesion is when. If the riders are lucky, then it will hold off until the race is over, and only rain on the fans as they head for home.

The Pasini Mystery - Toth Denies Pasini's Bike Impounded By Aprilia
Mattia Pasini has had a few rough years recently, and things don't seem to be getting any better. His last year in the 125 championship with Polaris World was plagued by engine breakdowns and mechanical problems, producing the entertaining spectacle of the Italian administering a thorough kicking to his factory-spec Aprilia. Then at the end his debut 250 year, the Polaris World team folded as a result of the financial crisis, and the demand for holiday homes in Spain collapsed.
2009 was looking much more promising, especially after the Italian took victory at Mugello once Marco Simoncelli had taken both himself and Alvaro Bautista out of the equation. But at Catalunya, trouble emerged, in the shape of money problems. Rumors surfaced of unpaid bills to Aprilia by Team Toth, and that Aprilia would be demanding its Aprilia RSA back. At Assen, the prominent Italian site GPOne.com reported that Aprilia has impounded Pasini's Aprilia RSA over the unpaid fees, and that Pasini will not be riding here on Saturday.
Imre Toth, team manager of the eponymous team, has denied everything to the Hungarian press. His response to the Hungarian website Motogphirek.hu when confronted with the allegations was "Whaaaat!!!" Toth told the Hungarian website that he expected to start the races as normal this weekend.
FIM Announces Electric Motorcycle Racing Series
We at MotoGPMatters.com are very excited about electric motorcycle races, as we wrote just a couple of weeks ago on the subject of the TTXGP. Oil is an incredibly useful resource - almost every object in your home is made using at least some parts made from it - and burning the stuff seems like sacrilege, however satisfying the resulting noise and smell may be. The day is drawing near that oil will become too expensive to burn, and some form of alternative energy supply will have to be found. Racing, in the form of a motorcycle race for electric machines, can help bring that day closer.
Evidently, the FIM agrees. For today, the International Motorcycling Federation announced that they will sanction a race series for electric motorcycles in 2010. The move has been prompted by the success of the TTXGP race which took place during the week of the TT on the Isle of Man, where the winning entry lapped the historic Mountain course at an average of over 87 miles per hour, and three other entries lapped at over 70 miles per hour.
The advent of a series for electric motorcycles was inevitable, as prototypes are only a few years away from hitting mass production. Once that happens, and if they manage to sell enough units, the subject of homolgation for the World Superbike series would have been raised, and the FIM would have been faced with the problem of working out how to compare them with the existing four-stroke Superbikes. By creating a separate series for electric bikes, that problem is neatly sidestepped. And if the rules are similar to those for the TTXGP, this could be the most open motorcycle racing class currently running, and a real hotbed of innovation.
Marco Simoncelli Signs For Gresini Honda For 2010
The first part of the 2010 MotoGP rookie puzzle fell into place today at Assen. In a press conference, Fausto Gresini, owner of the eponymous MotoGP team announced that Marco Simoncelli had signed a one-year deal with the team for 2010. Gresini will have one factory RC212V again next year, and Marco Simoncelli must be the odds-on favorite to get that ride. But the competition will be fierce, as Gresini is also said to be pursuing Marco Melandri, while Spanish rider Hector Barbera is believed to be chasing the Gresini Honda rider.
While Simoncelli's talent is undeniable, the press release also highlighted another aspect of the young Italian. Simoncelli is highly marketable in Italy, and the Simoncelli deal was announced together with the extension of Gresini's deal with Italian snack manufacturer San Carlo, who will be staying with the team for 2010 as well. "Marco has shown over the past couple of years that he has the ability to be a major force in the premier class, as well as being a great communicator," Gresini said. Simoncelli's bubbly personality and outlandish hairdo make the Italian instantly recognizable and a huge hit with the fans.
Gresini also underlined that Honda also had a hand in the deal. "Honda rates Simoncelli highly, and believes he is a rider with great potential for the future, so Honda is very pleased that we are welcoming Simoncelli next season," Gresini said. With the so-called rookie rule preventing class newcomers from joining a factory team in their first year, the factories are having to find more indirect ways of securing the services of promising rookies.

2009 MotoGP Assen Preview - The Low Low Lands Of Holland
Ask someone to describe the landscape of Holland, and they won't usually need more than a single word. "Flat" is the adjective most commonly used in relation to The Netherlands, as anyone who has ever made the trek from Amsterdam up to Assen will acknowledge. Heading southeast out of Amsterdam, past the wooded wealth of Hilversum and 't Gooi, then turning northeast at Amersfoort to head through the heart of Holland's bible belt - Putten, Nunspeet, Staphorst - then past Zwolle, and north to Assen, the countryside may vary - the open fields surrounded by canals east of Diemen, the closely-wooded villas of Hilversum, the thin, sandy soil of the pine woods which form the Veluwe national park - but the inclination rarely does.
The irony is that for most of the trip, you are actually traveling uphill. Along the course of the 180 kilometers from Amsterdam to Assen, you will have gained a full 9 meters of elevation. If you picked up a hire car at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, you can almost double that figure, climbing from 4 meters below sea level to nearly 12 at the TT circuit in Assen. As paltry as that difference may seem, it betrays a fundamental difference between Holland's coastal region and its more ancient northern towns, and the heart of Dutch motorcycle racing.
The area surrounding Amsterdam truly is flat: reclaimed from the sea and inland lakes just a few hundred years ago, the land and will barely trouble a spirit level. But as you head north and east, you leave the reclaimed land behind and venture into The Netherlands' glacial past. To the naked eye the land seems as flat as ever, if a little less neatly ordered, but the soil was dumped here by retreating glaciers many thousands of years ago, and then covered by peat bogs and dissected by a maze of creeks, brooks and channels, trickling water away towards the newly returned North Sea.
The World Is Flat
This long and ancient history has added a richness of texture to the land which is absent further west, a texture which lies at the heart of Assen's TT Circuit. At first glance it too is flat, but as you ride around it, you start to understand, even feel its history. Though the peat bogs and creeks have been drained, they have left their mark indelibly on the landscape. The track rises and falls subtly, sudden dips combining with the harsh camber of certain stretches of the track to generate a synergy aimed at unsettling even the most perfectly setup of bikes and ruining any chance of a smooth line through Assen's many tire-blistering corners.
Those rises and dips are almost entirely absent from the new North Loop, barely just scar tissue over the memory of its former glory, but once out of the horrifically tight Strubben hairpin, you plunge back through time onto the older part of the track, and ancient geology starts nudging and jolting the bike as once it used to. Down the Veenslang (or Peat Snake, though now one pulled taut, its former sinewy course straightened) and into the Ruskenhoek, the track is still smooth, though the camber starts to return. But once through the Stekkenwal and the fast left at De Bult, the old track regains its full vitality and history is made flesh, or rather asphalt again.
Ezpeleta Believes Single Bike Rule Unlikely To Be Adopted
The proposal to allow MotoGP riders just a single bike is close to being dropped, according to Carmelo Ezpeleta, head of Dorna. Under the proposal, each MotoGP rider would be allowed to have just one bike prepared and scrutineered for each weekend, instead of the current situation, in which they each have two bikes. Speaking to the Spanish radio station Onda Cero, he said "The idea of the single bike has just about been ruled out, mainly because of the success of the flag-to-flag rule, which we saw again at Le Mans and Mugello. I believe that the riders will have two bikes next season." But, he added, "It's not up to me."
The demise of the single bike proposal has been widely rumored over the past few months. The underlying premise of the idea was that the extra bikes which became available could be used to increase the size of the grid, but none of the manufacturers is inclined to increase their presence on the grid. Both Yamaha and Suzuki have flat out rejected any pressure on them to provide more machines, and Ducati is similarly inclined.
So far, only Honda has given any indication that it may provide more bikes for next season, with the fate of the Scot Honda team, where Yuki Takahashi and Gabor Talmacsi are currently sharing two bikes between them, likely to tip Honda's hand. Scot Honda team boss Cirano Mularoni is currently trying to squeeze at least one extra bike out of Honda for the rest of the season, and the response to his request will be indicative of Honda's attitude to provding more bikes.
The reason for the manufacturers' reluctance to provide more bikes if the single bike proposal were to be adopted is that for the factories, a large part of the costs of supplying bikes is in supplying the accompanying engineers to liaise between the teams and the factories. They may make savings on producing and maintaining extra parts, but these would likely be outweighed by the extra costs in personnel.

Book Review - Stealing Speed By Mat Oxley
Technology is a curious thing. Like a wildly spinning top, it veers in a thousand directions, knocking everything it comes across out of its path and sending them flying off at a million tangents. It is as contagious as the common cold, and just as variable; as easy to control as a herd of eels; and as predictable as a ping-pong ball in a hurricane. Take any given technology and chart its progress, and twenty years later, it is doing something unimaginably different from the aims of the people who conceived.
This is the underlying lesson to be drawn from Mat Oxley's latest book, Stealing Speed. The book tells the story of how the two-stroke engine came to dominate motorcycle racing, and of the two men who brought about that immense change. They both changed the course of history and were swept up in events even more momentous, bringing about the ruin of one motorcycle manufacturer, the rise of another, while driving a third almost to the brink of madness in its stubborn resistance to the tide of history. The tale revolves around two men, Walter Kaaden and Ernst Degner, one the man who turned two-stroke engines from discarded relics into high-powered racing machines, the other the brave recruit who raced them, then turned traitor and sold the technology to the Japanese.
Kaaden took three ideas and combined them into a magic formula for the two-stroke engine. The first, he took from one of the grimmest weapons of the Second World War, the V1 rocket or doodlebug. The rocket used a pulse jet engine, basically a series of controlled explosions in a specially-shaped chamber producing thrust, and Kaaden's time spent at the German rocket base of Peenemunde at the end of World War II as a test engineer laid the germ of an idea which he used when he returned to producing motorcycles with IFA (formerly the DKW factory, before it was taken over by the communists after German partition). Here, Kaaden discarded the old megaphone exhausts previously used on two strokes, and set about designing and building the expansion chamber, using the same physics of resonant harmonics he had learnt while working on the V1's rocket propulsion.

2009 Misano World Superbikes And World Supersport Race Report
The World Superbike circus came to Misano on Italy's Adriatic coast hoping for sun, sea and speed, but this weekend, they got plenty more than that. The heat and humidity was scorching on Friday, turning showery on Saturday, only to start with a downpour on race day.
The rain had fallen heavily all morning, but as the riders headed out at noon for race 1, the rain had just about stopped and the World Superbike series was set to see the first time its flag-to-flag rules would be put into effect. The dash into the pits to swap bikes always guarantees plenty of spectacle, but the action started even before the race had gotten underway. Johnny Rea's Ten Kate Honda developed a fueling glitch on the sighting lap, and the Ulsterman was forced to hitch a lift back to the pits from his team mate, Ryuichi Kiyonari, an act which would cost them both a ride-through penalty later on, and forced Rea to start from pit lane. Then on the warm up lap, an electronics glitch caused Troy Corser to flip his BMW S1000RR, ruling himself out of the race before it had even started.
When the red lights did finally dim it was Shane Byrne who led into Turn 1, taking Jakub Smrz and Ben Spies with him. Byrne, who has had a difficult year so far on the Sterilgarda Ducati, was clearly in his element in the wet, and was rapidly heading off into the distance. By the end of the first lap, the reigning British Superbike champion had a lead of over 2 seconds which had grown to nearly 17 seconds by the halfway mark.
Behind Byrne, Jakub Smrz was also at ease in the wet conditions, not able to match Shakey's blistering pace but faster than those that followed, leaving Ben Spies and Michel Fabrizio trailing in his wake. Spies was clearly less comfortable in the wet conditions, Fabrizio quickly getting past the Texan in the very wet early laps, but as the track started to dry, the Texan picked up his pace and got back on the tail of the Xerox Ducati.

Fair Resource Allocation for the Relay Backhaul Link in LTE-Advanced
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In this paper, the authors revisit the issue of fair resource allocation in relay-enhanced wireless networks. Their focus this time is on Type-1a relays as proposed for LTE-Advanced. The latter operate as out-band relays, i.e., the backhaul and relay access link use separate carrier frequencies. If carrier aggregation is applied at the macro base station, the backhaul carrier may also contain part of the macro access link. Assuming full buffer traffic on the downstream, they demonstrate how similar resource partitioning strategies at the base station as proposed for in-band relays can be also applied in the out-band case.

Over the past 18 months, I have been in court more than I have been at my LHBS. My ex has made it her goal in life to cause conflict and impede my relationship with my son at all costs. Brewing, this website and pouring myself into a hobby have helped me to compartmentalize it all and get through some pretty upsetting times.
In the end, the courts have come though and been very gracious. Taking control and manipulation away from a controller and manipulator of the kind that I assure you, you have never seen! CHEERS to all of you who have dealt with family trauma and fought the good fight. Drinking doenst solve problems, but brewing can certainly give you a good outlet!!!
Dude, I feel your pain.
I went through that mess 10 years ago and didn't get so lucky. I still get manipulated by my ex regarding my own kids. I'm bitter about it.
I wish I had buds like you guys when I was going through that.
I, thankfully have never been through that. With rough times behindus, my wife and I are celebrating 17 years of marriage next week. Keep our head up and remember to be thoughtful of what you say about your ex in front of the kids.
I am very mindful... I want my son to see the difference between what his mother tells him about me, and what he sees at my home. Before this court order, I saw my son 8x in 2006... can you beleive that???? Now that there is an order for dates, times and meeting place, SHE is out of her mind with anger because she cannot manipulate this time unless she wants to go to court and get fined or worse. So many fathers dont want thier kids, and the few that do, get walked on and have to actually FIGHT to see them. Rediculous, but, again, the beast has been shackled and is held at bay. This forum, this hobby, and my loving wife, have all been keys to my sanity.
A friend was fighting his ex about their daughter about 10 years ago. She was preventing him from seeing the girl the 16 hours (two 8 hours 'days') per month the initial settlement gave him. At one point, they were back in court & the ex started calling everyone names, including her lawyer & the judge. Then she throws her purse at the judge and bites the bailiff.
He walked out a full-time Dad!
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
When I dont give in, meaning, let my ex control my time with my son... I get threats. The one today was that she TOLD me that she will not be allowing me to see my son one weekend in March and one in April... idiot. Others have been threatening to reduce my parenting time (for no reason) and having my home inspected for suitability (he has already been coming here for 2 yrs). Just stupid things. I sent a letter to her atty and the court today letting them know about the threat to not allow me to see my son on those two weekends in the coming months, so if there is an issue during those weekends, tada, we all knew.
Sometimes, the simple things that take our minds off of our troubles are exactly what saves us. I'm glad you have support and that this hobby has helped you through tough times.....and it's good to be reminded that despite the cold anonymity of the internet one can occiasionally find true personal connection. I wish you the best.
Hang in there man.
I'm going though it now, to a degree. My soon-to-be-ex has tried her damnedest to control how and when I see my kids too, and after months of demoralizing, horrible times and not seeing them unless it was on her terms, she's finally changing her tune, but there's a part of me that is still fearing she could change her mind at anytime and go crazy on me.
I don't get it either... most women would KILL to have their ex's involved in their kids' lives. I want to spend as much time as I can with my kids, and she treats me like I'm an absentee father.
Having good friends (unfortunately, she manipulated most of my friends from my previous life) a great new hobby and the support of an amazing woman, has helped a lot.
All the best brewpilot
Went through all that **** 11 yrs ago.It cost me everything(cash,house,car)but i got the full custody.A steal at twice the price.
It is not uncommon for good fathers to be treated like criminals by the women that are scorned. I tell you what illiterate... I have let my guard down a few times, when SHE seemed to be going along with what was right and just, and consistently she has proven me wrong for trusting her again. I hope that your situation is different, I really do. I have learned that ppl, in general, do not change. I will never again risk my relationship with my son by trusting his mother with that responsibility. It is sad, truely sad... but one cannot make deals with the devil and expect all to turn out rosey.
It IS nice to see that I am not alone in my struggles, past, present, or future. It is also good to have a group of people with such a passion for what we do. Not for fame, not for fortune, but for the passion alone. This board and this hobby have kept my mind from reeling in the midsts of severe emotional trauma.
Faith, Love, Beer.

A true inverted L-shaped kitchen - HELP!
Hi -
First time poster here - as you can see by my crude designs - I have an inverted L-shaped kitchen - the "before" shows how it is now and the "after" is the best layout I have come up with to date. This layout sucks but it is what I have to work with so - ANY ideas/suggestions would help me.
I wanted an island but as you can see there isn't quite enough room so the peninsula probably stays although I did add another peninsula in the breakfast nook so we can sit and eat and watch TV. I desperately need more cabinet and drawer space so I could put a wall of cabs and drawers in the breakfast nook - I guess - so - what do you think?
Thanks - here is another view of the layout I have right now - I have labelled windows, doors and what's on the other side of each wall -
as for would I be moving gas, electric and plumbing - answer is yes if my heart was set on a design that called for it - my dining room is to the right of the kitchen through the door - I have labelled it -
as for do I need a breakfast nook - NO! (this was decided pre-marriage!) - however what should I do with the space then? I thought maybe putting the sink and DW underneath the window in the breakfast nook and the rangetop (which will be a 48" Viking stovetop on the wall to the right of the sink and DW -
No clue if this will help you but we have a similar L shaped kitchen. Here is a photo of most of the layout. One end of the L has the sink and range, the other part has the fridge, small pantry, and w/d closet. If more photos or details would be helpful to you just let me know.
Note that the top of the diagram does not show the rest of that part of the L.
Here is the old L diagram.
We extended out the back (top wall 6.5 ft) but it is still and L shaped kitchen.
Here is a photo of part of the L not shown on the "new" kitchen diagram.
Glad to know you are good with moving things.
I'm on my phone right now and can't post pics or do a layout for you but I reccomend turning the nook area into a U with cabs and counters running the whole way around. Putting the sink under the large window in the nook was my very first thought.
I think the true layout gurus here on GW would have a lot of advice to give you. Hopefully my post will bump you back up to the top! Knowling that you do not want or need a eat in nook in the kitchen opens up the possibilities.
I also think it will be very helpful if you provide information about your family, lifestyle and how you use your kitchen. How many people are in the household, what are their ages, will there be more or fewer soon? Do you entertain, how often, what size crowds, casual or more formal, do you like guests in the kitchen? How many cooks in the kitchen, simultaneous, any canning, freezing, butchering, baking, catering business to consider?
When I look at the space I feel like you are not really thinking about 'zones'. When you eliminate an eat-in nook there is so much space you can get a great kitchen. I might put the cleanup zone across from the DR with the DW and a dish cabinet (for easy unloading) . This would make removing the dishes from the table easy. But, I dont know if there is a swinging door between the kitchen and the DR and so I dont know if that means guests at the table have to stare at my sink - I wouldn't like that.
If there is no door, a focal point from the DR could be glass uppers and a base cabinet, flanked by pantries. This would be a good unloading area since it is near the garage hallway.
I might put the clean up zone under the large window and center the stove between the window facing the yard and the door to the foyer. The nook becomes a u-shaped kitchen with the pantries across from the DR. If you want an island, dont put cabinets or put 12" deep cabinets on the garage wall, put an angled island. Your fridge run is in same location.
So those were some quick thoughts but getting rid of the eatin means you dont have an inverted L.
Can you move the door to the dining room to the bottom of your layout? Then you can move the range and fridge wall up and you will have landing space on both sides of the range. I would also move the fridge to the end of that run.
On the opposite wall, you cwould move the sink and DW up and then wrap your cabinets around the L. The pantry can now move to the wrap around section.
If your windows come low to the floor, then you could have low cabinets like cal_quail/or top it with cushions and set a small table in front of it to use as a breakfast nook. Depending on how many seats you need etc, you might have to do a shallow pantry but that probably works better anyway. To use the space between the windows on the south wall, I would put in a breakfast/beverage bar.
You could then have a separate zone for cooking, casual hang around and snacking/breakfast.
Sorry, I don't have access to my program to make a sketch for you. I am sure the layout experts will weigh in soon.
Have you seen the layout questionnaire thread? It is an invaluable resource (as are other threads in the FAQs)..Going through all that made me think critically about all that I wanted out of my kitchen. And you will get the most help out of the experts here when you provide all the information.
Here is a link that might be useful: Layout questionairre
Thanks to all - keeping it coming!
Now - it's just me and my husband in our 60s, no kids, we do occasional small dinner parties - no more than 6 with us included and our dining room has a very large table so we would eat in there.
We don't cook every night but we both like to cook and I love to bake. I get the afternoon sun through the big window - I live in San Diego so it is really brilliant in the breakfast nook area in the afternoon. I want to be able to eat at a counter and watch tv - I like the idea of a coffee station - and the kitchen is a walkthru kind of place meaning we walk through the kitchen from the rest of the house and from the front door through to the garage and a bathroom beyond the opening.
My windows in the nook are 32" from the ground but I could raise the larger window because we are replacing it.
As for moving the door to the dining room - there is already a door at the southern end of the layout that comes from the foyer.
Abd - thank you for the link to the questionnaire - I will use it. My biggest problem is my problem visualizing. I do better actually seeing rather than visualizing which is a big handicap when it comes to remodeling.
Can you close off the door to the foyer? I'm assuming you can get to the LR from the foyer, do you need to be able to get to the kitchen directly, or are you okay with getting to the kitchen via the LR and DR?
I'm thinking a fairly compact main kitchen space where the nook is now. Fridge by the foyer door, sink looking out on the front yard, range to the right on the garage wall. Wrap the counter around and extend it through where the pantry is now, or keep the pantry with slightly less counter space. You can put a small table against the LR wall for having your coffee and watching TV, and still have room for additional storage. Without moving or closing off any doors, that's probably what I'd do.
I did a VERY rough floorplan to hopefully spur some ideas for you.
I put your sink on the wall looking out the front, with the dishwasher beside it and a narrow pullout by the wall.
The rest of the U is banks of drawers which wrap around to the fridge.
I put a narrow island in that area so you have somewhere to sit and eat or chat while cooking. I only put 12 inch deep cabinets and then you could have an overhang where the bar stools are. Another option would be leaving that area in front of the smaller window open and putting a table and chairs there.
Your Viking is on the LR wall with banks of drawers on either side and the corner between the 2 openings has a single cabinet I thought might be your coffee station.
Here are a few 3D views, note I didn't put fillers, uppers, etc. Just a basic idea. Maybe it will help spur other ideas.
Let me know if any other 3D screenshots will help.
I didn't save the plan but I do still have the tab open on my laptop and I can take more screenshots if it will help.
Also, you might want to post photos of how it looks currently.
You said you enjoy baking...are you tied to the 48" cook top? Have you thought about a regular cook top with a separate wall oven or double ovens?
Yes - I do have a Viking 30" double oven as well as the 48" viking stovetop that go into the remodel - your 3d images cover the kitchen well and I thank you - I thought the double oven would go next to either the refrigerator next to the 9 ' opening or next to the stovetop.
There is a lot in this sketch I don't like, but I liked the idea of a small banquette for tv watching instead of an island which I couldn't really make work. Scale is probably not right on some items, either. Just a quick sketch.
I notice I didn't locate DW. OH, well, this is just for ideas. Certainly no shortage of storage in this kitchen!
So--just for ideas. Might spark something that really works.
I think I like where Bellsmom is going. I would switch the fridge and cooktop so the prep sink is right there adjacent to the cooking zone. Then I'd switch pantry and ovens. This would make the ovens easier to get to from the cooking zone and make the counter between fridge and pantry an excellent snack zone by the banquette. Put the microwave in this area, and store dishes and silverware there as well to make setting the table easy.
I really really hope some of the GWers who are really really good at layout come in on this problem! This is a tough 'un.
I hadn't realized how similar my layout is to Texas Gem's. Sorry, TG.
Controlfreakecs, I think I would keep the fridge close to the garage door with pantry and landing area nearby for convenience in bringing in and putting away groceries.
One change I would make to accommodate both the banquette and a DW is to move the sink off center on the window wall and put the DW beside it.
I would put super susans in both wall and base cabinets in the corners on either side of the sink and DW if there is room. Are you OK with a single cleanup sink that is wide enough for your largest pans? If so, susans, DW and sink might work on that wall.
I also considered putting the banquette table on wheels (lockable ones, perhaps) so it could also be used elsewhere as a prep table. Not that you would be lacking in counterspace with this layout or Texas Gem's.

how about posting a layout on graph paper using maybe 1 sq per ft - leaving out any markings for sink, cabs, ref, stove etc (just a bare room)
do list measurements for all walls, windows and doorways
a blank canvas will be easier to visualize I think.
if you don't need the booth, going on bellsmom's version I'd put the stove between the windows on lower wall and refridge on wall where she has the stove. your stove will be closer to the sink for filling a pot, draining one and clean up.
If you put cabs on the wall where she has the prep sink, I'd surely round the counter top on that corner.
If you don't need seating, I would focus on the cooking and baking. Maybe something like this? Two pantries should give you enough storage that you could (if you want) eliminate the upper cabinets around the cooktop and prep sink.
You mentioned that you could change the size of the window...which would be great! But just in case, I kept the cabinets a few inches from the wall on that side. Just a few ideas :)

Here's a blank layout - 3 squares = 1 foot - I left only the doors and windows and door openings -
Many of you think the sink should go under the window facing the front yard and that makes sense to me - initially I put the rangetop to the right of the sink however that would eliminate much of my prep area so it probably makes more sense to put it on the living room wall - looks like most of you like the fridge over by the opening into the hallway to the garage -
I don't see any islands out there so maybe I should let that idea go - (darn it)
If you want an island, maybe something like this? It's too hot to garden, so I got a little 'plant happy' with your big window :)
Will this help?
I used the OP's graph and traced straight lines up from the bottom and the right side to for one foot squares. There is some distortion due to the photograph's skew. But it makes it easier for me to see the scale.
So, each large block is 1 square foot. Each small block is 4" square.
I hope this makes sense:
Regarding an island:
Your inverted L's base is between 9 and 10 feet wide.
The perpendicular part is 9 feet wide.
Do the numbers:
Cabinets are 24" deep plus 1 1/2" overhang for 25 1/2"
Aisles should be 40" plus or minus wide at the minimum.
The narrowest island is usually 24" plus two 1 1/2" overhangs for 27"
Perimeter cabinet--25 1/2"
Aisle on one side 40"
Aisle on other side 40"
132 1/2" which is a minimum of 11 feet.
You need a minimum of 11' of width to have a perimeter cabinet run, an island, and passage on each side. You can fudge it a bit (I did it with 10 1/2'). But you cannot do it with 9 feet. The aisles are just too narrow.
There just isn't room for cabs on one wall and an island with aisles on each side in either part of your kitchen.
I like lavender lass's sketch. I can see a lovely little sitting area by the windows with plants, a comfy chair, and maybe a small table or bookcase.
This post was edited by Bellsmom on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 21:09
Going off Bellsmom last post, that is why I drew my layout the way I did.
If your heart is set on an island, it is certainly possible, you just won't be able to have cabinets on both perimeters.
I drew mine the way I did b/c you mentioned that you could raise the large window up but you didn't say you could/would raise the smaller window so I didn't want to put cabinetry in front of a window that is only 32 inches from the floor.
If you eliminate cabinets on that wall then you have a 9 foot area with a run of cabinets, a walkway, a narrow island (maybe 18 inches) and then a walkway behind it and the wall.
I don't think your 48 inch range top will work on the 6'8" wall considering the sink cabinet facing the front would be 25.5 inches.
25.5 plus 48 is only going to leave 6.5 inches.
I hope this makes sense. I'm on my phone right now so no pics.
I think a mash up of my and Bellsmom plans might be closer to your liking.
FYI, on my plan, the narrow pullout at the end of the sink run next to the dishwasher, I was thinking a pullout broom closet.
I've seen so many great little pullouts like that here on GW and I don't have one in my kitchen so I put one in yours. :)
The other corner next to the sink (near the 6'8" wall) I put a Susan cabinet.
Last note, you might try making a new post that says layout help in the title to attract the attention of all the layout gurus. Until then, I'll keep commenting so your post stays near the top! ;)
is opening the kitchen up to the LR/Dr area something you'd want to do?
are the windows on the lower wall high enough up to run cab/counter under them?
do you need 2 pantries?
do you have a pet that you need to consider space for food/water dishes and food storage? probably not a big problem if a cat or small dog, but a large dog would consume larger amounts of food and need larger dishes.
Answers to desertsteph's questions:
Yes, as a matter of fact we very much like our contractor's idea to open up the living room wall from the dining room door to about 6 feet over to the foyer door. It would be an opening from halfway up the wall to the ceiling. Cabinets could go under the opening with a counter and another stone counter on the opening - if that makes sense.
Both windows are 32" up from the floor but I might be able to raise those to have regular sized cabinets underneath them.
Yes - I think I would like 2 pantries - I have 2 now and need and like them.
Finally, I have a Golden Retriever and she eats and drinks in the hallway going into the garage. That has worked out well. At least it has for me. I don't know what she thinks!
I have seen people put prep sinks on corners similar to the corner nearest to the prep sink I sketched in on Aug 6 at 10:14. That might work very well for you.
You would position the controls to be within reach from either side of the corner, thus handy to range, fridge, and prep center.
I am posting this for the idea and to bump you up once more, hoping for someone with fresh ideas to join.
Can you show me what the larger context is? I would like to determine flow just a little better...
My first thoughts are actually to put the range out of the way, which is to put it on the "front wall" (where there are a lot of sink placement suggestions)...
But having a better idea of the floor would help me (for example, what does that door on the "bottom" lead to? I see Garage, and living room marked. And, is there circulation between the LR door and that bottom door?

laurus nobilis - Bay leaf tree propagation
I have a neighbour who has a huge bay leaf tree, full of shoots from the roots, he offered me some before cutting them. I really love the tree and i would want some tips on how to get this shoots to root, without using rooting hormone. I heard honey works, but how do i do it? How do I get them to root?(It is winter here right now)
for many classically difficult to propagate species, when attempting to root cuttings, there is often some benefit to be gained by generating warmth below the roots. this can be done in any number of way- including, but not limited to burying fresh compost a significant distance below the root zone of the soil, and placing pots on a pile of hot compost, or above a current of warm air. due to the danger of mold involved in bay propagation, compost may or may not be risky.
in a possibly more direct practice, rooting may be encouraged with the use of willow. the dry leaves may be crushed and mixed in with the planting medium, or applied as a mulch. a tea can also be brewed hot or cold of the fresh or dried leaves(let to cool if brewed hot). also-i may add that this is my preference- the fresh or dried leaves and stems of willow may be placed in a large watertight container with half their volume of water, and allowed to ferment for anywhere from 3-180 days before using the tea to assist in root development. for shorter brewing times, an addition of no more than 1% of any variety vinegar can be added to assist in the process.
if willow is not readily available in your location this point may be of no use. the fermented tea of willow is comparable in its effectiveness to commercial rooting hormone, but is not petroleum derived, and does not stimulate root growth by mutating existing cell tissue into a state of rooting, but by encouraging new root tissue cells to grow from existing tissues. again, due to the common dependance of bay cuttings on high humidity and the risk of mold to their success, the fermentation or direct application methods may not provide maximum effectiveness.
With your neighbors tree producing lots of root suckers, you should be able to dig up rooted suckers and save yourself time and work. Evergreen trees are still growing in the winter but SLOWLY. Cuttings taken when the new growth is rapid would be easier to root, with or without hormone. Hormone formulas also contain fungicides with help prevent mold of the cutting. Al

What's this bug?
I'm a newbie gardener and in the past 2 weeks have had some issues I'm trying to solve. First my cucumbers had a light powder coating. They're Diva which I thought were resistant to mildew. I've sprayed them a couple times with insecticidal soap and baking soda, and that seemed to have gone away. Now the lower leaves are just mottled with yellow spots. Undersides are fine. They do eventually die (shrivel up brown and die) along the bottom. Now, I've noticed some of my squash (right next to cucumbers) also have this.
Now yesterday, I've noticed the cucumber leaves, squash leaves (same 4x4 bed) and eggplant and beans (nearby but different 4x4 bed) all have holes eaten in them, with brown thin patches and some white splotches (excrement??). Doing some googling brought me to the idea that it was cucumber beetles that gave them bacteria wilt!
I've been out this morning looking and have found no such beetles.
The only thing I found was this one..which when I look in my books and online doesn't look like a squash beetle (I don't think anyways). Could this be causing my problems?? Does anyone know what this is? He was sitting on my eggplant leaes this morning.

That, my friend, is a great picture of one of the assassin bugs! Strictly carnivorous! They stab their long feeding tube into their victim and after injecting their toxic saliva that liquifies the 'innards', they suck their victims dry.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Looks like some type of assassin bug, of which there are many, good predators in the garden.

Ah - thank you so much! So, we'll leave the assissin bugs alone. So the question then to follow that up with, is any idea what could be causing all this damage? A few weeks ago I found a skinny green catepillar. (I don't know what kind.) But right now I don't see anything out there.

(AP Photo/Pat Eaton-Robb)The Associated Press
STORRS, Conn. – Researchers at the University of Connecticut are using medical technology to breathe new life into some antique musical instruments.
Dr. Robert Howe, a reproductive endocrinologist in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, says his medical practice showed him how computerized tomography could make precise 3-D images of body parts. As a student of music history, he realized the same CT scanning technology could help him study delicate musical instruments from the past.
Howe, who is also a doctoral student in music theory and history at UConn, last year brought his idea to music theory professor Richard Bass, who contacted Sina Shahbazmohamadi, an engineer and the school's director for advanced 3-D imaging.
Together, they have developed a process for using CT scanning technology not only to make images of those instruments but also to print 3-D copies of parts that will allow more of them to be played.
This week, they began seeking a patent for that process.
The CT scanning alone has yielded exciting results, including images that show the construction of an 18th-century English horn was much more complicated than experts originally thought. Because nobody would allow one of the rare and delicate instruments to be cut open, experts couldn't see the intricate set of bores and wooden pins used to hold it together, Howe said. The construction also didn't show up on a traditional X-ray because the pins are made of the same material as the horn.
A breakthrough by Shahbazmohamadi allowed the team to scan metal and wood at the same time. That allowed them to get exact 3-D images of items such as a mouthpiece from one of the first saxophones made by Adolphe Sax in the 19th century.
"Only three original mouthpieces are known to exist in the entire world," Howe said.
Before this technology, an attempt to copy the handmade part would have required measuring it with metal calipers and other instruments, which would have left marks. An artisan would then have to translate those measurements into tooling for a duplicate, a time-consuming and costly process.
So instead, musicians have been jury rigging modern mouthpieces to fit old saxophones as best they can. The musical results can be disappointing, Howe said.
Paul Cohen, a saxophonist who teaches at New York University, said Howe's work could go a long way in helping experts understand what centuries-old music was meant to sound like.
"If they can accurately reproduce the dimensions in the mouthpiece that Adolphe Sax himself invented, it would be of fundamental, seminal importance in understanding our instrument," he said.
The UConn team scanned the original mouthpiece and, after some experimentation in density, produced a plastic replica on a 3-D printer that can be fitted to the original saxophone. The team also has scaled the imaging data to size to make mouthpieces for a range of Sax's horns, from B-flat bass to E-flat sopranino.
"This is pretty darned good, and it's an $18 piece," Howe said. "The technology is not only very, very accurate, but very inexpensive."
The images can be kept on file, and as the technology improves, machines can make exact copies in the original materials, Shahbazmohamadi said.
The same technology could eventually be used to make copies of entire instruments or to repair broken ones. With the computer technology, flaws in the original can be fixed, he said.
Howe has already played one instrument, a 1740 recorder, with a replacement part made by the 3-D printer.
"The universal availability of 3-D printing, which is happening as we wait, will make all this work very relevant and not just for musical instruments," Howe said. "The ability to measure and replicate items that are difficult to measure and replicate is going to explode."

A small leak under well water tank control
I have a well water tank system under the name Well-X-Trol. This was install new in 2005. There is a control box and a presure gauage on top of the pipe coming from outside well to the blue tank insides. I noticed only recently that there is a very small leak from the outlet under the control box. (Not from the pressure release valve under the pressure gauge). Is this an indication of some major problem or is it a small job that one can fix it? I also notice some rust inside the bottom of the presure gauge. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you for the reply. But it definitely is not just the condensation. The leak is relatively slow, but it comes from the outlet opening under the control circuit box. I put a small bowl below it, and I have to empty the bowl once every two days, or it will overflow. So it definitely is a real leak. Any other thoughts?
Other thoughts? Sure! *%^$((!!!
OK then, maybe you'll get lucky- if the box (pressure switch) has no exposed electrical wire sticking out,(and it shouldn't), see if you can rotate the box clockwise (looking down on it)to the extent that you don't strain any wire.
That pulls the threads up on the tapers and might stop your leak.
If that doesn't stop it, you'll have to close isolation valves, kill the power to the switch, undo the wire connections, unthread the box-making sure you back up (hold) the nipple so it doesn't loosen the next connection- and either re-tape or re-dope the connection. Reverse order assembly.
While you have the switch off the nipple, verify there isn't any gunk or other blockage in there before re-installing.
The rust inside the pressure gauge happens so often manufacturers must put it there. Actually, just a cheap gauge. As long as it articulates cut-in and cut-out pressures approximately, it's OK.
I agree regarding the pressure switch but if there's rust in the gauge, I think it's a good indication it needs to be replaced, although I've seen a rusty pool pressure gauge go on for years, but I wouldn't trust it. A good quality, oil-filled stainless gauge would be better. You might also want to test your water to see if it's aggressive and causing the corrosion, if your system is only 3-odd years old.

Topic of Discussion - Ra and Ausarian Initiation Systems
Ausarian Initiation
in Spirituality
The Ausarian Initiation system was Kamit's main spiritual system. It was fundamentally based on the knowledge that man is a divine being who begins life in the human stage. Given that the human nature is dominated by emotionalism, sensuality, and the lower mind the human nature is the source of all of mankind's problems. "I'm only human" is the universal excuse for wrong doings by the average person, and the most exalted religious leader, and all. Written in 600 BC, the Old Testament Bible records that "man is made in the likeness and image of God," repeating in its own way, the Ancient Egyptian teaching of the same. Ausar represents man's divine nature, and the Ausarian Initiation is the systematic approach to transcending and realizing man's divinity.
Divine Law and the Initiation Program
Chemists and Physicists are able to accurately manipulate atoms and the forces of nature because they have knowledge of the laws that govern the behavior of atoms and forces. Over six thousand years ago, Kamitic sages discovered the laws that govern man's spirit and therefore her/his behavior and life events. These laws govern the behavior of the 11 faculties of the spirit and are subsumed in the concpt of Maat. The 11 faculties of the spirit are the Paut Neteru that have been popularized by the Kabala as the Tree of Life. In the Ausarian initiation the initiate places these laws, Maat, into the mind to guide the life force to manifest proper thinking and emotional conduct to thus achieve well being and success in all endeavors. Success in all things depends on the perfect harmony between all faculties of the spirit, and union with God which is guaranteed by living in harmony with Maat, the 11 Laws of the spirit. the course includes instruction in meditation, use of mantras, Kundalini Yoga and Egyptian Spirituality.

Topic - Ausarian Initiation
in Books
"Ancient Afrakan spiritual women adorned themselves by covering with a lotus blossom what we call the third eye, between the eyebrows, but it is actually the first eye. The lotus represents spiritual illumination and beauty. Placing the lotus over the brow means one has a perfected state of consciousness, an illuminated mind that is a garden of peace.
Out of the mud comes forth the Sacred Lotus, Nefer Atum, symbol of beauty, grace, purity, and perfection. Her wisdom tells us that what appear to be life's challenges, struggles, ups and downs, confusion, pain, and sadness are actually opportunities for us to move up out of the mud. As we move through these tests, challenges, and struggles, we bring forth our inner lotus, the reflection of our inner beauty."
The Soul's Initiation
in Self Help
We often find ourselves in very challenging times and wonder how we got here. What if it was your higher self that orchestrated the current circumstances of your life? What if that narcissistic jerk or sociopathic predator showed you his/her true colors so that you could see the truth and move beyond the lie? What if instead of life punishing you by giving you this awareness, it was protecting you and helping you to unveil more truth in your life?
In this episode of Pandora's Box we are going to talk about the Souls Initiation or the human challenges we must often undergo in order to become more fully connected to our true selves. The concepts discussed in this episode can help you to see your life from a higher perspective, release your victimization story and see yourself as being supported and empowered rather than victimized and torn down.
