"Mistletoe," said Luna dreamily, pointing at a large clump of white berries placed almost over Harry's head. He jumped out from under it. "Good thinking," said Luna seriously. "It's often infested with nargles." ~~Luna Lovegood

Spicy ptitim (Israeli couscous) - Cafe Liz - lizsteinberg.com

Liz Steinberg

In the maze of gray buildings, carpentry shops, Escher-like stairways and metal scaffolding behind my office, you?ll find a little luncheon restaurant tucked away. Well, actually, you probably won?t find it. You have to know exactly where it is, and even then, you still might wind up searching for it.

But let?s say you find it. It?s a modest place ? Mediterranean Restaurant is its name. There, a kindly couple dishes up beautifully prepared homestyle meals. Step up to the counter, where a tempting assortment of foods gaze back at you ? stuffed peppers, mafroum, meatballs of different shapes and sizes, kubbeh dumplings, mixed vegetables, roasted potatoes, and pasta. Yes, pasta. Among that wealth of handmade food is a simple pasta, yes, the kind that comes in a bag, cooked according to the package instructions and tossed with spices.

Given these options, who would order the pasta?

Well, that?s what I thought for years. Then one day, I don?t remember why, I ordered the pasta.

Suddenly, I understood what it was doing there. It was addictive, and I was hooked.

What makes a lunch counter pasta good enough to compete with a dozen handmade foods, all of which demand more care and preparation? In short, the spices. Tossed with a ruddy mix of Mediterranean spices ? the restaurant doesn?t get its name for nothing ? this is a prime example of simple pleasures.

Now, I?m back at work but I?m working from home, so I haven?t been at the office in quite a while. But either way, if I want to eat an embarrassingly large quantity of spicy pasta, best to do it in my own home, right?

So this is my best guess as to what goes into that dish. In place of the pasta, I use ptitim ? also known as Israeli couscous, or Ben-Gurion?s rice ? an Israeli creation that basically is, well, pasta. Little roasted nibs of pasta shaped like rice, or balls, or stars, or what-have-you. My favorite is the rice shape. It has a fun texture.

Thus, in the comfort of my own home, I?m free to skip over impressive stuffed vegetables and elegant dumplings and gorge myself on simple, spicy pasta/ptitim. No one will know.

For one 500-gram bag of ptitim:

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 4 cups water

In a pot, fry the onion in the oil on a medium flame. Add the ptitim, stir and let brown lightly. Add the spices and the water, cover, and bring to a boil. Let simmer until the water is fully absorbed, let sit for a minute or two with the flame off, and fluff before eating.

Romney says reporters can cover Israeli fundraiser

JERUSALEM (AP) ? U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney has reversed course and will let reporters cover his remarks to donors at a fundraiser in Israel.

Romney's campaign says the typical group of reporters will be allowed to cover a high-dollar fundraiser at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on Monday morning.

The campaign had said on Saturday that it planned to prevent the typical coverage of a fundraising event in a public space.

One of those expected to attend is Sheldon Adelson, the American casino mogul who's pledged to spend more than $100 million to defeat Democratic President Barack Obama.

Donors at the event were asked to contribute $50,000 or to raise $100,000. Romney advisers say the event is expected to raise more than $1 million.

Safe Home Improvement Projects Kids Can Help With | ej-fransen.com

Some people feel that if they hire a nanny, they will miss out on a lot with their children, but this is simply not true. By having someone to take some of the responsibility off your shoulders from time to time, you are able to be more productive and quite honesty, perhaps even a better parent. Now when you make time to spend the day together, you will be more likely to do something exciting rather than pop in a movie for them to watch.

If you have projects to take care of around the house, it can be tempting to give your child a new toy or put in a movie so they stay out of the way, but kids love to be involved. Why not make use of this eagerness to help? Especially considering in a few years you will barely be able to get them to do anything! Believe it or not, there are small projects that they can help with around the house that will allow them to feel part of something special while also empowering you to create good memories together.

Chalkboard

This is a super fun project for kids, especially if the chalkboard is going in their room or a play room! They can hold on to the end of the measuring tape and help you decide where the chalkboard will go and then depending on age, they may be able to help you paint the chalkboard on the wall. Whether they help paint or just supervise, they will be thrilled to get at the chalk and create on it for the first time!

Outdoor Furniture

Outdoor furniture can almost always use sprucing up. If you do not have any old furniture, you can always pick up a few pieces at a yard sale just so they have something fun to do. If you hire a nanny, you can shop for supplies and hit up a few yard sales on your own. Kids can help wash the furniture and then paint it. If it is a special chair for them then they can be creative with designs and color. When shopping for paint, be sure to look for low-VOC formulations.

Storage Solutions

Does your garage or mudroom always look like a tornado went through it? Pick up some wood or plastic crates or even a few heavy duty boxes as well as paint, fabric or anything else you want to use to decorate and label them. You can create storage for everyone so everything will have a home.

Paint Your Mailbox

Why have the same dull mailbox that everyone else has on the street? You and your child can paint yours and they will have the satisfaction of seeing it as you come and go from the driveway. You could use stencils and paint butterflies or lady bugs on it or just make your own unique and fun design.

Stenciling

Have you been wanting to create a stenciled vine crawling up a wall? Perhaps you want to add a little design to the mirrors in the bathroom or to your ?kitchen windows. Stenciling is easy. You hold the stencil in place, and they can paint. You might want to practice on cardboard a few times first.

Tree Swing

Adults and kids alike love a good swing from a tree from time-to-time. The two of you can locate a supportive branch and then create a swing with a tire, plywood or anything else that is sturdy. You can always let them paint the swing too. This is something that is sure to get used.

Install Solar Lights

Children are amazed by the simplest things. Let them help you put the solar lights along the driveway or in the flower beds and then at night, take the outside and let them see the lights illuminated. They helped make that magic happen!

Weeding

Whether you call them e or invasive plants, there is certainly never a shortage of them. If you don?t trust your child pulling the weeds from the garden, there are likely sidewalk or driveway cracks that are full of them. You don?t even have to be home to get this project done. If you hire a nanny, they can supervise this task any time. Your kids will feel more involved and needed, and you will be weed-free!

As children we are taught in schools, churches and by our parents, how to enter into relationships We learned how to meet people and to play by the rules of dating and partnering as seen exclusively by the heterosexual population As gay and lesbian people we learn about heterosexism, the belief that heterosexuality is superior to homosexuality, and we learn to integrate that belief even if subconsciously into our lives With those beliefs accepted, we as adults continue to mimic heterosexual systems and attempt to mold ourselves into the straight norms and therefore we have bowed to Matchcom, Chemistrycom and the like As children we are not taught how to seek out and enter into gay relationships Many of us learned about gay people through unsavory rumors, hearsay and often from tasteless jokes from our friends and piers We learned to meet others by sneaking around in unsafe and unhealthy places Parks, public restrooms, bars and dark streets have long been knowsn as meeting places and pickup sites for gay people, especially gay men For decades gay and lesbian people have had limited options for meeting people and therefore, we\'ve learned to create relationships and find intimacy through often non-traditional means Many people believe that with the internet boom of the 90\'s, that gays led the charge in the development of online meetings, pickups, hookup sites and even the advent of online pornography American online, Prodigy (yes I remember Prodigy), and others owe much of their early revenue sources and development capitol to gay people who used their services to avoid the usual \"non-traditional\" avenues These models became so successful that we have dropped the ball on building even better resources and options We have as LGBT people defined our own paths by which we date and build relationships With the lack of discussion and the climate of inclusion in our upbringing, we have made the best of a bad situation and we\'ve created our own solutions and we have written our own rules This is why these \"other\" dating and relationship building sites, simply don\'t make the cut

Alphey provides the LGBT population with an option for developing real and substantial relationships through honest analysis and compatibility matching Science, psychology and technology are utilized to achieve these With the unfortunate lack of reasonable options for gay and lesbian singles Through deliberate direction, management and operation, Alpheycom is becoming the leader and role model for bringing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans-gender individuals together and thereby adding to the strength and social structure of the gay and lesbian community


Relationship and introduction sites are often confused with hook-up sites We use science and psychological elements to provide members with enough information and sufficient background to introduce them to other members with whom they should find enough in common to build or at least begin to build a foundation relationships Women For Women These tools are oriented towards LGBT psychology and environments Our members only have access to members they are matched to The introduction page that a matched member is presented with includes a personality profile a comparison to the matches profile and the members summary, it goes beyond sexual propensities Hook up sites simply provide access to large database with ads from members looking for quick sexual hook ups

LGBT people have many layers and we have distinct ways that we define ourselves and our gender Gay men range from ultra masculine to the majority who are pretty mainstream to very feminine These issues are not addressed in the mainstream shared sites The same can be said for gay women Gender identity issues are not mentioned or addressed on Matchcom There are different levels of physical attractions that are influenced by factors that Chemistrycom would never talk about There are issues that some people in the LGBT community would find important that these \"mainstream\" sites don\'t consider HIV/Aids status is an important issue with many gay people Alphey provides these options if they are wanted Not all gay men would be inclined to date a transvestite, but some would Not all gay women would want to date any type of women We address dating and matching issues for trans-gender people as well Mainstream sites wouldn\'t even begin to consider addressing these issues But they are happy take money from LGBT people and they offer very little in the way of real service

Now more than ever, marriage equality and LGBT relationships are in the public debate Those who oppose us, those who would deny us equality look at some of our \' queer\' behavior and they judge us To some people, the way we present ourselves to the public is considered as unacceptable behavior The reality is, we in the LGBT community have identified and created our own place or niche [http://www.baidu.com/baidu?word=mobilekub.com

Types of employee difficulties within a Small business enterprise ...

Once you are running a tiny organization, it is best to be ready for different sorts of obstacles. Staff are a significant a part of the obstacles which you face inside a compact company. Several of the employee concerns which you could possibly face in a little business are described briefly below.

Operate More than Load:

Some personnel have troubles on the subject of operate load responsibility. These employees may be those that simply don?t would like to do greater than they?re supposed to do within the stipulated everyday work time. However, as an employer you would need to have to ass no matter if this is a true condition or if the employee has genuine complications handling a particular perform load. Staff that are overloaded really feel that they are either not having paid adequate for their function or that they basically can not handle all the function that they?re given even when they were to acquire an boost in salary.

In instances of overload, exactly where an employee feels that s/he has been working more than the compensation supplied overtime payment could arise. As an employer you could want to pay your employee added to create sure that s/he continues to carry out effectively. In some cases it can be just the matter of being paid a lot more that helps an employee function far more and take on a higher load. Remember, much more revenue can do wonders. Naturally, employees that put in greater efforts as well as a higher number of operate hours also need to be compensated. So, you justifiably have to have to spend an employee additional if s/he is willing to operate on assignments that take more than the stipulated work-time.

Electrical Engineer,Electrician - Benefits of Control Systems











Electrical engineers are responsible for electricity related jobs. An electrician does low level work. Individuals with a formal qualification in electrical engineering are recruited in companies that manufacture control systems, offer instrumentation and automation solutions. A power systems engineer is a specialized electrical engineer who is expert in power systems.

A lighting control system is usually maintained by an electrical engineer. It controls electric lighting and its associated devices. It can be part of both private and public lighting solution. They are utilized for aesthetic, working and security illumination purposes. The term includes interior, exterior and landscape lighting. A lighting control system can be a part of sustainable architecture. It can also be used as component of lighting design for green building programs. This program promotes energy conservation techniques.

The lighting control system made by an electrical engineer comes with an embedded processor. Modern lighting control systems include one or more portable or mounted keypad or touchscreen control interfaces. Mobile phone operation is supported. These controls permit users the ability to remotely toggle power to groups of lights or an individual light. Control systems can operate dimmers and pre-program space lighting levels.

Lighting control systems have major advantages over conventional individual switching. They can control any light or a cluster of lights or all lights in a building from a single user interface device. The control can be in any location. Such control over multiple sources of light results in the creation of complex light scenes. A room may have multiple lighting scenes. Each lighting scene is suitable for different activities that take place in the room. Different lights can create change in the ambient mood. This is made possible by a single press of a button. Lighting control systems are widely used in landscape design in the form of landscape lighting. Control systems also direct motorized gates, water spa heating and fountain pumps to name a few. Benefits of such a technology include reduction in consumption of energy and costs in power by a more efficient use of energy and longer bulb life. The carbon footprint of the civil structure also becomes lower.

An electrical engineer have multiple choices of lighting control systems like chronological time, astronomical time, outdoor or room space occupancy, alarm conditions, events and program logic.

Chronological time is that particular time of day used by pre-set timers. The list of astronomical times include sunrise, sunset, a particular day of week or days in a month or year. Occupancy of the room can be determined with RFID tags or motion detectors and can be a part of energy conservation or security programs. Use of artificial lighting can be reduced by automatically dimming and switching electrical lights in response to daylighting levels. Mobile phones can be used to operate lights.

The electrical engineer can use lighting control systems for architectural lighting purposes like control of lights in a theatre. This includes rehearsal lighting, work lights as well as lobby lighting. Control stations can take the form of LCD touchscreen consoles.

All Eyes on Korea brings old and new to London @ HanCinema ...

Korean Funerary Figures: Companions for the Journey to the Other World (photos courtesy of KCCUK)

The host city of the upcoming Olympic Games continues to embrace "All Eyes on Korea", the 100-day Korean culture summer festival, bringing together an unprecedented scope of cultural events, exhibitions, and lectures that encompass the traditional and modern sides of Korea.

Marking the recent opening of two exhibitions held as part of "All Eyes on Korea", Kim Ock Rang, Director of Kokdu Museum, and Ralph Rugoff, Director of Hayward Gallery, took over the podium at the Korean Cultural Center UK (KCCUK) to deliver their own insights with special reference to the participating artists and artifacts on display.

Kokdu meets the world in London: discovering masterful funerary figures and artisan spirit

Beginning on July 11, the KCCUK presents an unconventional exhibition showcasing traditional funeral biers alongside intricately carved wooden figures. "Funerary Figures: Companions for the Journey to the Other World" not only welcomes viewers to find out about funeral rites but also reveals a great deal about how traditional Korean communal society embraced death and the notion of the afterlife.

The colorful funerary figurines also known as kokdu take various forms of humans, animals, or supernatural beings like dragons or phoenixes and were used to decorate the funeral bier, keeping the deceased company and take care of his or her journey to the other world. The historic artifacts on display at the KCCUK were carefully selected from nearly 20,000 pieces of Kokdu Museum's collection.

Marking the opening on July 11, Kim Ock Rang gave a special lecture, talking about her affection towards the funerary figurines along with her life story and three decades of art management.

"I have never seen such a concise, systematic, shapely curated exhibition featuring a Korean funerary bier since I went to the National Folk Museum of Korea during my visit to Korea", said Jan Stuart, keeper of the Asian Department of the British Museum, at the opening ceremony. "We would like to plan a special exhibition inside the British Museum in the future".

The undoubted highlight of the exhibition is the large-scale funeral bier adorned with dragons and phoenix paintings. Visitors to the KCCUK may also enjoy the beautiful photographs by artist Koo Bohnchang, compiled and reborn into an animated video by Song Jae-yeon.

Dr. Charlotte Horlyck a Korean Art History lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, will give a lecture on September 3 as part of the Global Korea Lectures at the KCCUK. The lecture "Funeral Figurines: A unique art form of traditional Korea" will explore the Korean funeral rites in relation to the customs of the Kokdu figurines and funeral bier. The exhibition runs until September 8. For more information, please visit: www.kccuk.org.uk

Korean contemporary art arrives in London

Weeks after the joyful outdoor installations by artist Choi Jeong-hwa were unveiled at the Southbank Centre to embellish the grey multi-level architecture, a witty set of artwork by Kim Beom is taking over the Hayward Gallery Project Space on July 17, for the second half of the summer. "The School of Inversion", Kim's first solo exhibition in Britain, explores the subjects of school and learning featuring the artist's humorously executed mixed media installations, sections of drawings, and video.

Kim, who has meticulously transformed some of the most banal objects into "curated" artistic creations, stretches the conventional perception and limits of reality by referencing social awareness, which is often challenged by the artist's imagination and subconscious creativity.

Audiences will soon be inspired by the artist's objects and images elaborated around the themes of existence and misidentification, reality and manipulation, among others. The artist invites viewers to become actively engaged in the multi-layered projection of images and thoughts, implicitly conveying continued reflection on Korean society with a sense of humor.

(left) "The School of Inversion", the first UK solo exhibit by Korean artist Kim Beom, runs until September 2 at the Hayward Gallery Project Space. An exhibition not to be missed, if you are around London. (right) Hayward Gallery Director Ralph Rugoff delivers a lecture on contemporary Korean art with special reference to the participating artists from "All Eyes on Korea", and other artists the gallery has worked with including Do Ho Suh (Suh Do Ho) (photos courtesy of KCCUK).

"Korean artists have excellent tastes of design", remarked Ralph Rugoff, Director of the Hayward Gallery, while recognizing Korean artists' incredible attention to detail and refined designs during a session of the Global Korea Lectures at the KCCUK on July 13.

The veteran expert in contemporary art gave his own perspectives on contemporary Korean art, while introducing artists who participated in the 100-day "All Eyes on Korea" event, including Choi Jeong-hwa, Kim Beom, and Lee Bul, accompanied with detailed narration on their oeuvre.

Also on view from July 23 is a new public art commission, "Written in Soap: A Plinth Project" by Korean artist Meekyoung Shin (Shin Meekyoung). Shin, who showcased a solo exhibition at Haunch of Venison, is relatively well-known in the London art scene for her iconic reinterpretation of Eastern and Western historic relics with soap. This time, she has brought the equestrian statue back in Cavendish Square in central London for the first time in 144 years. The sculpture installation rendered in a seemingly fragile material will last for one year, weathering in the wind and rain and expressing a sense of dislocation and transformation.

"Written in Soap: A Plinth Project" is a new public art commission by Korean artist Meekyoung Shin on display in Cavendish Square in central London for one year starting on July 23, 2012. The sculpture revived the equestrian statue on the plinth for the first time in 144 years (photos courtesy of KCCUK).

A number of other exhibitions offering an arresting glimpse into Korean contemporary art are taking place at multiple venues across the Olympic city. Kim Sooja, Jung Yeondoo (Yeondoo Jung), and seven other media artists are sending their newest works for a collection to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Supported by worldwide Olympic partner Samsung, the Samsung Olympic Games Media Art Collection communicates the Olympic ideals and legacy through the prism of varied international perspectives and visual narratives.

Following the success of past years' exhibitions, the Saatchi Gallery in London once again brings back the "Korean Eye" series, starting July 26. The fourth edition, which presents the largest survey of up-and-coming contemporary Korean art to date in the city, runs until September 23.

Discover The Many Advantages Of Mobile Phone SMS Marketing ...

Isn?t amazing how far marketing has come over recent years.

After dominating the print world it moved into the world of first radio, then TV and finally the Internet. Now it has started to rule the mobile phone world.

As almost everyone in the developed world now owns a mobile phone it naturally makes sense for marketers to move in. They can quickly and easily promote their products or services by simply sending a text message.

Using Mobile SMS Marketing to introduce and/or promote products and services is far away the best method to use.

9 Health and Fitness Fads That Stuck Around - blog*spot

Everyone wants to shed a few pounds, and most people do so during several phases of life. Health and fitness fads will, by nature, come and go, but a few of them stand the test of time. Diet supplements have been used to regulate weight as far back as ancient Egypt, Greece, and China. Portion control was practiced by ancient cultures, as well. If you?re always trying the Next Big Thing, here are nine health and fitness fads that came and stayed. Some we love, some we hate, but one thing?s for sure ? these nine fads are older than you.

  1. Counting Calories

    It?s so popular because it?s simple math: calories in should be less than calories out. Even a?nutrition professor?at Kansas State proved that weight loss was possible on a diet consisting solely of Twinkies. He did it by counting calories. Some gurus will argue that not all calories are created equal, but elementary math will prove them wrong by the scales.
  2. Plastic Surgery

    Definitely a fad and not quite healthy, cosmetic surgery is a fast way to fake fitness. Plastic surgery, first introduced in 1827, is more common now than ever. It might be an extreme way to get a beach body, but more than?200,000 people had liposuction in 2010. Proper diet and exercise may be the true way to health, but cosmetic surgery is certainly en vogue. If you want to live a long life, be healthy. But if you want to look a certain way, countless numbers of people have made a similar choice.
  3. Exercising

    Exercise is one health fad that should never go out of style, and group exercise has been popular for ages. Boot camps especially are enjoying a renaissance ? both in-home and at the gym. Boot camp offers a quick, regimented way to shape up, and one that?s segmented to increase viability and impact. After a dip in popularity, in-home boot camps have become popular again with the rise ofP90X?and similar plyometrics programs

    .

  4. Portion Controlled Meals

    Portion controlled meals have become and remained popular for generations of dieting divas. If there?s one thing that guarantees weight loss, it?s not overeating ? and buying pre-portioned meals has long been a crutch of dieters and fitness freaks everywhere. In America especially, portion sizes are routinely too large, and sticking to a smaller-plated plan has always helped to tighten the belt.

  5. Vibrating Belts

    Speaking of belts, this relic from the 1960s may seem long gone, but the vibrating belt has come back in?infomercial-tastic ways?in the recent past. While we hate this fad and everything it stands for, it might actually tone you up a little. That being said, if you?re so lazy that you want to pay to use a vibrating belt to move your muscles for you, there are many life decisions you need to structurally re-think. Many.
  6. Working Out At Home

    Aerobics classes as we know them may have started in 1968, but Jane Fonda?s the one that made aerobic exercise popular from the privacy of one?s own home. Although you can sign up for gym classes and aerobics all that you want, there are a plethora of television channels and work out DVDs that are available for purchase. You can work out at home in an indoor gym like the perennially popular?Bowflex, or you can be instructed by any number of videos. Whether it?s Pilates, yoga, or Tae Bo, working out in the comfort and privacy of your own home is a fad that?s here to stay. Spandex and leg warmers optional.
  7. VLCDs

    Very Low Calorie Diets are a long-time fad that remains popular. Food intake restrictions, all-liquid diets, and cabbage soup are among the things you?ll come across when researching VLCDs. Raw food or low-carb diets can also fit this description, and VLCDs remain popular due to promises of quick weight loss. Whether it?s powdered shakes or a Master Cleanse, these fad diets make their way into the limelight at least once per generation. VLCDs can be extremely detrimental to some, but can jumpstart healthy weight loss in others. As they are a mild form of starvation, some form of weight loss is all but guaranteed.

  8. Diet Pills

    Even though they?re dangerous, they?re always around in some form. Upon learning that?Fen Phen?was dangerous in the ?90s, diet pills have been different (but the same) ever since. They range from ephedra (now illegal), called "trucker speed," to fat and carb blockers. It?s hard to imagine a world without celebrity endorsements of hoodia, guarana, and other proprietary blends. Word to the wise? There?s no magic pill. If it didn?t work for Alice or those guys from?The Matrix, it won?t work for you. Try something else, and don?t be so gullible and desperate next time.
  9. Cleansing and Juicing

    Cleansing and juicing can be a form of fasting and/or a form of detox. While?Jack LaLanne?s Power Juicer?used to rule the airwaves, now we see ads for the Master Cleanse and Omega. Although things change, they often stay the same ? and these fads have been popular with celebrities and yo-yo dieters for years. The raw food and slow food movements have seen a resurgence of interest in fresh juicing, but making living food has been marketed and repackaged as a diet solution more often than not. While detoxification and health do go hand in hand, the use of detox as a diet plan has been a slow-dying fad.

Electrical Safety Concepts ? Excellent Home-improvement Tips You ...

Home improvement plans should always be designed with safety in mind along with what you wish to accomplish. In fact, some of these ideas can easily be done without buying anything. When choosing a home improvement project, make sure it takes as little time as possible it gives you results that really matter. Remodeling certain areas of your house, including your kitchen, can cost a pretty penny. If you don?t want to spend money, you are like most people that are traumatized at the state of the economy worldwide.

Fireplaces and creosote go together, especially when the fireplace is old and still active. When you burn wood, the by-product is a corrosive, toxic, and highly combustible substance, called creosote. The creosote can ignite inside your chimney, where it has accumulated after years of using the fireplace for a lot of fires. You can still find chimney cleaners who will clean your chimneys and remove this substance. This is one job that needs to be done right, so find a company which is reputable, that the will dispose of the creosote properly, and the chimney will be adequately cleaned.

These few things to consider will make a difference in your information as they relate to home improvement. They are by no means all there is to learn as you will easily discover. They will serve you well, however, in more ways than you realize. Do consider the time and make the effort to discover the big picture of this. We are not done, and there are just a couple of very strong suggestions and tips for you.

It can turn into a very expensive job, when you replace the cabinets in your kitchen. Resurfacing the existing cabinets with wood veneer, more than likely will cost less than replacing all the cabinets. The only way to see if wood veneer might work for your cabinets is to do some research. Veneers might not be a cheap option, because you might like exotic wood as your solution. Depending on where you live, the cost of getting the work done by a craftsman could be high. But just imagine that your kitchen will assume an entirely new look and feel.

Everybody knows all too well how much energy costs have risen over the years. Looking ahead is made somewhat easier when you know what to expect, and that happens with things that the price is known to never go down. So, you have to make the most with what you have, and this involves staying as energy-efficient as possible. There are coils in the back of your refrigerator, that must have plenty of ventilation, or the efficiency of energy use decreases. All you need to do is keep the air from being blocked, and flowing freely to the back of your refrigerator. The coils on your refrigerator also need to be free of dust buildup or the efficiency will decrease.

Always be aware that every home improvement project that you do needs to be focused upon safety. The danger for some people is they have no idea about such issues, and sometimes they proceed with no clue. It might kill you, or at least injure you very badly if you do the wrong thing. If you know nothing about load characteristics, or electricity in general, stay away from electrically oriented home improvement projects.

Fall Sports Registration Going on NOW! | Sumter?In the Middle of ...

Yesterday afternoon, I found myself conducting a rather unexpected group bus tour of our community.? Of course, the downtown area, the shopping district and many other places were bustling with activity.? But it was slightly strange to drive into our top-flight sports facilities and see them looking like ghost towns.? After all, it doesn?t take a whole lot of imagination to hear the pop of tennis balls, the crack of a wooden bat or the cheering crowds at a hot soccer match, because those are sights and sounds that Sumter is well accustomed to.? Our fields and courts are almost always filled?just try and get down Theatre Drive past Bobby Richardson Park and the Palmetto Tennis Center on a weekend!

With the summer beginning to wind down (calendar-wise, definitely not temperature-wise!), it is time for all of that to change.? Fall sports registration is almost here!? The Sumter County Recreation Department?opened the doors for youth football, cheerleading, baseball, softball and soccer youth registration, along with adult softball, this month.? Registration continues through August 16, with baseball and softball registration going until August 23.?

The Recreation Department also offers a variety of activities for all ages year-round, including karate, shagging, clogging and more.?

(AP) ? The man convicted of gunning down the mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew of Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday.

Hudson, who attended every day of William Balfour's trial earlier this year, sat next to her sister at the hearing and at one point dabbed her eyes with a tissue.

The sentencing hearing came a little more than two months after a jury convicted Balfour in the Oct. 24, 2008, shooting deaths of Hudson's 57-year-old mother Darnell Donerson, her 29-year-old brother Jason Hudson and her 7-year-old nephew Julian King. The judge sentenced Balfour to three terms of life in prison plus 120 years on other charges.

"You have the heart of an arctic night," Cook County Circuit Judge Charles Burns told Balfour. "Your soul is as barren as dark space."

Prosecutors portrayed Balfour, who was married to Hudson's sister Julia Hudson, as a jealous estranged husband who often stalked Julia Hudson's house after he moved out in early 2008. But Balfour's attorneys suggested that someone else committed a crime in the family's three-story house in Englewood on Chicago's South Side.

Balfour faced a mandatory life sentence. Illinois does not have the death penalty.

The only person to give a victim impact statement in court was Gregory King, the father of Hudson's nephew. He told the judge he felt like his heart was ripped out when he found out his son, Julian King, was dead.

"I miss picking Julian up from the school bus," King said. "I miss going on field trips with him ... I miss him spending the night with me and my other children."

Balfour gave a brief statement, offering his condolences to the Hudson family while maintaining his innocence.

"My deepest prayers goes out to Julian King," Balfour said. "I loved him. I still love him. I'm innocent your honor."

Before the sentencing, Burns denied a request for a new trial from Balfour's defense.
