Island countertop all one level vs. bi-level with bar seating
We're trying to make some decisions about our island configuration... the island will be an 8ft long uninterrupted workspace (no sink or cooktop), just prep area, with three stools on the livingroom side.
I'm looking for opinions regarding single-level vs. bi-level islands. We were originally planning for a bi-level (standard height workspace on the kitchen side with a 12" overhang at bar height on the livingroom side). However, someone suggested in an earlier thread that we do a single-level island instead. I'm trying to weigh the pros & cons of both.
The bar height option seems like it would provide some visual cover between the living area & the work area, plus it would give some definition to the countertop on the kitchen side. If we included a few inches of overhang on the work area, it would also create a little alcove for storing prep bowls & other small items.
The single-level island option seems like it would be more flexible since it would be such a large expanse of uninterrupted space. Also, I think I prefer that seamless look and, since we're planning for it to be butcher block, it would be evocative of an old farm table, which is period-appropriate for our house. But I'm concerned about clutter from the seating side (paperwork, homework, etc) crowding the kitchen workspace (we are not a neat family).
I can't decide which is the more practical solution. Advice?
We just made this same decision a few months ago. For us, a single level made more sense and was more practical. I love having this massive area (mine isn't an island, but a peninsula) for prepping and for eating as well. I also know that when we entertain, the peninsula will serve as a buffet counter for all the serving platters. I really like being able to spread out, and I think that is difficult to do with a bi-level.
This works best for us, but I know there are people who will prefer the other option. I think you have to figure out what is more functional for you and your family.
I debated this too and at the last minute decided one single level. I was going the other direction though. I had seating on the back side but wanted one end to drop down for my baking center. For no more than I bake, the single level was the best choice for the way I cook and use my kitchen.
Depending on your barstools, mine have a back on them, so this could serve as the buffer you were wanting between the two spaces.
As far as sharing the prep space with homework space, you will have to be extra cautious of spills, splatters, and fly away homework papers, etc.
As mentioned, just have to really think about how you will use it on a daily basis, try to visualize how you will be using the space. Things like will the kids really use it for homework during meal prep time or just chit chat, how much do you entertain and would use it for a buffet, etc.
I am building my 3rd single level. 1 was a pennuinsula, current one is 8' pass thru, next one is an island. 3 reasons to choose single level: uninterrupted work space; the ability to use the entire space for buffet service; and the ability to use counter height bar stools. I am 5'3", and the kids at my counter range from age 8 to 17. The little ones and I enjoy not having to climb up on a full height bar stool. The taller ones are perfectly comfortable too.
Re clutter: you will have the same clutter look from the living space side if the issue is school work.
Our island will be 52" by 15' and single level. I just love the mass of it and personally hate the bi-level effect. Open floorplan means never being able to hide ;0
My island is bi-level. I like the way it separates the nearby sitting area with sofa and fireplace from the working space. I like how the clutter can't be seen when sitting on the sofa. I also like that the higher level is harder for my large dogs to reach. The bi-level works well in my room. However, I do have a separate kitchen table away from the sitting area and island that provides a large flat surface. If you don't have a separate table or if your living room area is further away (mine is within a few feet), then you won't need the bar height to visually separate the spaces.
I have a peninsula now, with a raised seating bar. My new design has a large single level island. I like the large work/serving area, and I think the simple lines will look better. But another important reason why I decided to go with the counter height island is that I think the seating is more comfortable. I hate getting up and down from bar height stools. Counter height is perfect - not too high (or too low) for us older folks. The lower height is probabaly also better for young children.
Thanks for all the great feedback! I hadn't thought about using the island as a serving buffet for parties, but I can see how that would be very useful. Also, the point about the comfort of the counter height stools vs. higher ones. My husband is tall, but I'm 5'5" and our son is only 14 months old. So probably lower seating would be more comfortable for us (and the grandparents).
Right now we're not entertaining much, since we are busy chasing after the toddler, but pre-baby we entertained a lot and I'm hoping to again, once he gets a little older. I'm trying to plan for that. And I assume that down the road, he'll be doing homework in the kitchen and having friends over after school, etc.
We do have a huge table in the diningroom, but that space doubles as our home office, so it's always covered with clutter (2 laptops, mail, paperwork, printing supplies, etc.). It would be nice to have an open expanse of space in the kitchen for actual kitchen projects, but I guess I'm afraid that we'll just fill that space up with clutter, too. ;)
For those with the single-level island, how do you light your workspace? We were thinking of installing task lighting under the overhang from the bar to light the counter. Now we'll have to rely solely on pendant lighting, I guess. Is that sufficient?
Also, do you have power outlets on the island? If we don't have a vertical surface behind the counter, it seems to limit us in terms of where we can plug in appliances.
I'm with kitchenaddict and others that it's up to your personal preference and how you'll use it.
I like my bi-level island (had a single level peninsula in my old kitchen.) I like that it provides a separate space for eating or doing homework (which my kids still do at the counter sometimes even though we have a separate study with their own desks.) It works well for buffets and entertaining, which we do alot. No one has ever had trouble with the bar height stools, including young kids. (Then again, we're tall.)
Depending on the height difference between the 2 levels you might have room for outlets at the back of the lower level, which is nice for using your mixer, etc.
On the other hand, I can see the appeal of having one big expanse. I liked that look with my old peninsula... when I cleared it of clutter.
One thing you can consider regardless of 1 level or 2, is to have a couple shallow drawers devoted to the kids' homework and papers. This depends on how your island is situated of course. But we have one short end that faces the open part of the kitchen where the table is; we have drawers there for utensils, napkins, and a 'paperwork' drawer. It might help with the perpetual kid-stuff-on-the-counter syndrome.
Riverspots: I also liked that it would be harder for our dog to reach the upper level counter... then this morning he proved me wrong by nabbing one of DS' waffles.
I took down a bi-level peninsula to have one level. Kitchen looks bigger and the one level works space I have now is awesome. I also included an overhang with storage underneath. I have room to tuck backless barstools beneath.
My vote is for one level surface!
I went thru the same deliberations. We went with a single level countertop and it works well with our family. I love having the large space for projects (kids and cooking). We have a single chandelier in the center with 4 cans around the edge. We also installed tamper resistant angled plug mold under the overhang - 2 outlets on each side. I have all drawers so there was no room for outlets elsewhere. Some people have the pop up outlets but that wouldn't fly here to meet code. All our outlets have to be tamper resistant. Exuse the kitchen - still needs to be painted plus other things.
Our kitchen peninsula is single level. It's a great height for tasks like laying out patterns on fabric and wrapping packages, not to mention the cooking, serving, and school projects!
What our new peninsula will have that our old one didn't -- two spot lights. Don't know why the original didn't have any lights over it, but the two new cans light the space (8' x 3') very well, and that will make every task done there easier.
irishcreamgirl - My kitchen chandeliers were a steal - about $110 each from Light and Leisure with my big volume discount and I did not have to pay for shipping. They're local here but you can get it on line too- I suggest lightingdirect.com if available (I bought other lights from them- they're great plus 10% off with code SPRING10). My chandelier is from Savoy house - Oxford series English bronze - I believe part number KP-103-5-13.
I see lighting direct has it in 6 lights in sunset bronze in the San Marcos collection (just a different color bronze) for $114 with discount. It's also available in 6 light English bronze http://www.lightingdirect.com/savoy-house-kp-103-6-13-six-light-chandelier-from-the-oxford-collection/p1020542?term=KP%252D103%252D6%252D13

The movie has a great plot, acting is very good and the ending is original.
It was boring and too drawn out,not scary at all and nothing exciting happens until the last 20 minutes of the movie,and the ending was dumb.
The problem is that aside from that psychological effect, the film's concept just isn't original.

Loved the set! Great for a summer comforter set and reasonably priced.there were so many extra pieces ( pillows and shams) that I couldn't fit them all on the bed. I also love that the set is all cotton, that is very hard to find these days.
This bedding set is great! It looks exactly like it does in the pictures and it fits the bed perfectly. i needed a new bedding set to freshen up the bedroom and this one was amazing. It is definately a great deal for the price.
The picture is very deceiving. I have seen better product at *** . color is not what it appear to be in the photo the color is more of a merlot color.
Beautiful 12 piece full size comforter set. Everything you need and then some for a great price. Good quality and very pretty!
Good value in this set - even the sheets are good quality

Photos: Dr. Jill Biden Visits AIDS Memorial Quilt
August 1, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
Dr. Jill Biden viewed the AIDS Memorial Quilt in Washington last week during the International AIDS Conference. The quilt, which is too large to fit in one continuous space, commemorates the lives of more than 48,000 people who have died because of AIDS.
Dr. Biden viewed the Quilt with Julie Rhoad, President and CEO of The NAMES Project Foundation. She said of the experience:
I was so moved by what I saw. Every piece of the AIDS Memorial Quilt tells a poignant story – and is a powerful reminder of the many lives lost to this epidemic…
…The quilt is a powerful reminder of how far we have come. As President Obama said on World AIDS Day, we will win this fight.

Disease Problems
It's be a hard stressful summer/year for most of us in the eastern US this year, but even more so for our plants. Here locally, we have had to most extreme weather I've ever seen in one year. From February to August there was a temperature range of 135 degrees for me locally. Went from 27" rain in five weeks, immediately to drought and no rain for months with temps near, equally, or even exceeding all time highs (after near all time lows in February. As a consequence I am having more disease problems this year than previous five years put together.
Which brings me to the subject of my post. I recently removed and disposed of a crabapple that had black sunken lesions on the trunk. Now I have two more crabapples with very similar lesions. In both cases seemly originating near the ground, and especially near the graft union. At first I thought Fire Blight, but now I don't think so. About 10 days ago, I noticed yellow leaves in our Oklahoma Redbud, while everything else was green. Suspecting a canker, I removed the branch, and sure enough there was a canker at a crotch. I split the crotch, and there was black penetrating necrosis just under the bark. After a bit or searching, I decided it was likely Botryosphaeria canker. It is more prevalent during drought years, or which we are currently. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures. Well today, on a small (less than 1" caliper) Autumn Blaze Maple, I found a similar sunken lesion. I removed the tree from the rooting pruning pot (very impressive result BTW from just a few months), and looked for clues. This time I got a couple of pictures of the small lesion, and though one of you may have seen it before, and perhaps confirm that it is likely to be the culprit. Sorry for the small size of the lesion, as I caught it early. Also the wetness is due to using Isopropyl alcohol to increase contrast, and to kill any surface spores that may try to spread.
Now I'm not too broken up over the ABM, or the branch of the Redbud. I'm simply trying to get a handle on if it is in fact the same disease I am dealing with on multiple host. The lesions certainly look similar, and I have talked to others that seem to be having similar issues. So anyone got any input?
Thanks in advance,
The problems I told you about in email appear to be damage from borers not cankers. I just made a new topic for discussion on those. I have a few branch tips die back on 2 different redbuds but I THINK it happened when it was so frickin hot and dry. I will give them a closer look when I get home.

which otr for an nxr range?
I really really need a new range, and am in love with the NXR. I know people here hate OTR microwaves, but at this point, it will have to do...so can I use one with an NXR? I think I've seen pics here of that set up...I also need to internally vent it for now.
Suggestions? What exhaust output do I need ? 400?
thank you for any input:)
An OTR is completely inadequate for that amount of firepower. There isn't an OTR made that would work. It might even actually melt some of the components if you fired up a couple of the burners. You cannot look at a pro style range as a standalone purchase. You've got to look at the whole package needed, including the required ventilation hood and makeup air needs.
Well,if you are thinking about a 36-inch NXR, I would pretty much agree with GreenDesigns.
But, with a 30-nch NXR, an OTR might not be great, but there are numbers of folks here who have done okay with them. I definitely would look at 400 cfm units and would look at mounting it has highw above the stove-top as is practical. Nunyabiz has posted here about this subjct. I believe the link below will show you nunyabiz's set-up with his/her/their NXR and OTR.
Do a search on "OTR + NXR" and you will find a number of threads.
Here is a link that might be useful: thread with pics of nunyabiz's NXR & OTR
JW is correct, with 30" you can get away with it if you use no less than 400CFM which as far as I can tell comes in only ONE OTR microwave which is the one I have.
I don't think I have ever seen a OTR with more than 400cfm and at the time I bought mine it was the only one that had 400cfm that I could find.
I would NOT use any less than 400CFM for sure.
It works fine but it will get a bit overwhelmed if I start cooking several slices of bacon and 6 eggs on my 2 burner griddle plus the other 2 burners going with what ever and biscuits in the oven.
Best would be a minimum of 600CFM ventilation hood vented outside, BUT that is NOT "required" certainly not for a 30".
36" and yeah you can forget about using ANY OTR.
We have ours vented inside through the internal charcoal filter and except for a very few occasions it does the job adequately.
For us a proper 600+ CFM ventilation hood vented outside would have more than doubled the price of the range so was out of the question, not to mention we would also have no place for a microwave.
We bought the LG LMHM2017ST
which 17 months ago cost us $395.61 shipped to the door.
It has been a great microwave, no issues, lots of power and options, great "warming feature" and I think the best ventilation on any OTR microwave.
It is also nice to have the controls on the bottom of the door on a OTR.
"Ideally" in a perfect world and if money were no object you should use roughly 1CFM per each 100BTU.
The NXR puts out 82,000BTU with everything blasting, so 820CFM vented outside with the fan outside using at least a 1000CFM rated squirrel cage blower which should give around 800CFM at the hood.
17 months ago that would have cost us around $1800 installed.
That is what we paid for the range.
Here is a link that might be useful: LG LMHM2017ST
Here is a link to a 600cfm microwave/hood.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sears Microwave
I have a 300 cfm Advantium OTR over my range. My range does not have the power that an NXR does (but then, I can't really see a situation where I'd be cranking out 4 burners of food on high heat either).
I've had a 300 cfm OTR since moving into this house, 8 years ago. Until last month, it was always internally vented, and quite frankly, the venting was a joke. Anything remotely smoky and the vent was immediately overwhelmed.
I paid a handyman a few hundred last month to install an external vent. My range is on a external wall, so there isn't a lot of turns and twists or extensive demo that had to be done. He basically measured, drilled a hole through the cabinet, drilled a matching hole through the siding, and hooked up the vent tubing (I'm sure there's a technical term for that but I have no idea what it is.)
The difference is night and day. Sure, it could be better if the vent was a 900 cfm vent, but...in MN, make up air is required for anything over 300 cfm, and that's not an expense I want right now. I purposefully cooked something that I knew would set off the fire alarms pre-external venting the night it was installed. No fire alarms. Smoke in the kitchen was very minimal.
I really wish I had looked into this years ago instead of assuming it would be thousands of $$$. I suggest you look into it before you dismiss it.

2007 Honda Civic Hybrid Review
The car looks good. It drives well, and everything works. It also has better than average gas mileage. It has not required many repairs. It handles well and has good braking.
It is sluggish when accelerating as are most hybrids, and it is weak when it comes to climbing hills, especially loaded.
2007 Honda Hybrid — This car is economical and is better than most for the environment. It handles well and the body and the interior are solid, though the upholstery particularly in the front is badly stained. The heating/cooling system is great. The sound system is good, and we appreciate the aux in. Overall the car is attractive. However, like other hybrids it is sluggish and lacks power particularly on hills.

2007 Honda Civic LX Review
Good on gas, comfortable, good handling.
Obstructed view around corners, thirsty when pushed to the redline, road noise.
Honda Civic Lx — I had researched several different vehicles in this before purchasing this one right off the truck. Alternatives were the Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, Nissan Altima, Pontiac G5, VW Golf, Toyota Corolla, and the Toyota Matrix. All of these are fine in their own ways but none can quite compare to the Civic outside of the Golf. The Civic has better handling on sharper corners, an example of this, there is a certain corner that I take that the entry speed is 55 in the other cars, the Golfs was 60 and the Civic was able to do it flat at 72 mph. Acceleration is a bit lacking though and it feels as though it could do better but is just not quite tuned right. The interior is roomy, I am six foot five and can fit in it comfortably... the one complain I have is that the handbrake pokes into my leg if I lean it there. Fuel economy is excellent though. I have been able to get well over 40 mpg traveling on the highway at 72 mph. In town it is cut back a bit to around 30 mpg due to stopping and going and passing. The car is fairly light on its feet but provides good traction in rainy weather. I will say that it does not do well in snow and ice; where I was only able to do 25 mph, other cars were passing me by at 45. Some people don't like the digital speedometer/fuel gauge but I have come to prefer it, it is strategically placed in my line of sight and I can easily concentrate on my speed as well as the road ahead. I dislike the fact the the front pillars come forward so far as to obstruct my view when taking a corner and the road noise can be a bit pronounced. I do like the looks of the car although they are a bit French and reflect a lot you would see in a Citroen. I have put nearly thirty thousand miles on it in the past year and it has not been in the shop one time. The top speed is supposedly limited to 125 mph but I have seen my speedometer at 138 which is not bad at all for a four cylinder car.

Excellent gas mileage
The frame bar that runs vertically parallel to the windshield creates a blind spot when coming around curves. My only complaint.
Great Vehicle For The Money — I don't believe you could find a better car for the money. With the money you save on fuel it makes it even more affordable along with cheap insurance. I parked it outside all winter and it never failed to start. Very reliable, no problems.

Great Price To Expectation Ratio — This is a fun car, it gets great gas Milage and is an easy maintenance car. the front seats are comfortable, but you are better leaving the back seats for the kiddos. For a Honda it has decent power, plenty of get up and go for the daily commuter. the only issue I had with the car was the passenger side motor mount, that was placed incorrectly but it was an easy fix and I have not had any other problems since. This is a Honda so it is and has been very reliable.

Low to the ground and not super easy to get in and out of especially if you're tall
Civic Is Nice Car — Love the gas milage, the ease of repair and the super reliability of this model. Wish it had a leather seat option and it would be just about perfect. Seems to handle well even in 6-8 inches of sloppy snow. Decent Stereo and lots of little compartments for storing things. Like the heads up speed/fuel/engine temp gauge.

Gallery: ROPE ME Interiors Made From 100% Recycled Materials Unveiled D...
Zona Tortona showcases unique, outside-the-box thinking every year during Milan Design Week – and few designers exemplify this better than Italy's IDI Studio. A keen user of FSC certified wood, this charming design studio showed off several cool interiors at Milan Design Week earlier this month, but we were particularly enamored with the firm's ROPE ME series, which is made from 100-percent recycled materials.
IDI Studio's ROPE ME series evoke maritime scenes, as they are built with rustic recycled timber and finished with genuine marine rope. These conscientious pieces come in three finishes, including a mixed light pastel, a mixed dark pastel and a mixed brown. Completely earth- and sea-friendly, they would make an especially perfect addition to any shabby chic cottage or tiny house.

Cute. My mom would love that since she's a big fan of recycling. I on the other hand like more modern designs though. I'd love to see recyled materials tuned into modern and sleek looking furnitures. so far i just know of refubished chairs (which in a way is recycling? like InStyleModern.com's chairs)

Best Appetizer Ever!!
Made This Recipe? Add Your Photo
Total Time
Prep15 mins
Cook40 mins
I modified this recipe from the Harry and David website. This is so simple and yields a ton of appetizers. You could easily modify it for a nice breakfast too. It can be served hot, warm or room temperature (cold might even work, but I've never kept it around long enough to put it in the fridge!). This gets gobbled up quickly whenever it's made!
14-16 48 appetizers US
- 8 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 10 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 3⁄4 cup salsa
- 2 (4 ounce) canschopped green chilies, well drained
- Combine cheeses, eggs, milk and chiles.
- Spray 18 x 13 inch jelly roll pan with butter spray, and add mixture. If you can't find a pan that size, use any pan sizes you can find, and pour between 1/2 and 3/4 inches thick (I use a 11 x 17 jelly roll pan plus a 8 x 4 bread pan).
- Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, cut into small squares or triangles and serve!

Panasonic DMP-BD75 Blu Ray streaming
Likes # 0
Posted December 26, 2011 at 3:15PM
I'm trying to stream media to my Panasonic DMP-BD75 Blu Ray player from my VISTA PC.
The player connects to the net OK (did a firmware update) and it shows up on the network on the router. I've tried using Twonky media, Mezzmo and WMP11 but the player can't "see" the PC.
I've followed a few Youtube vids but when it comes to the "media sharing" part the Panasonic doesn't show up to let me "allow" it to connect. I have set the folder with the files in as shared and the files show up in WMP.
Any ideas,

So I'm thinking of going 3S on my VXL 4x4. What is the next most likely thing to break ?
This is what I've upgraded so far.
MIP X-duty's front and back. (on order)
Aluminum shock caps
TiNi shock shafts
6893X Aluminum Bearing Adapter
Pro-line trenchers on 2.8 despardo's.
I'm thinking I should probably look at cooling options, and perhaps a new spur gear. What else is likely to go, upon going 3S ?

The biweekly blog carnival Patients For a Moment is up at Everything Changes.
Kairol did a fabulous job yet again, creating themes for the various contributions. It's a great collection of blog posts by, for and about patients with topics ranging from what it's like to be a statistic (the one in X who XYZs) to how to handle life in the "grey area in between the everyday and the extreme" (written by one of my favorite bloggers, Laurie at A Chronic Dose).
Please go check out this edition of PFAM. Now that I'm blogging again, I hope to contribute something to the next edition.
Wake up with me! - I see so many videos on youtube where posters are saying "Wake up with me!" I thought it would be cute to do a blog post so ya'll can wake up with me :) ...
