Tropical Environmental Health
Inadequate water supplies and lack of sanitation facilities represent major hazards to the public health in many parts of the world. In spite of the International Water Supply Decade, (1980-1990) there are more people without facilities approaching minimum standards now than existed at the beginning of the program. Without improvements in these areas, there can be no hope that there will be an overall improvement in the health of the nations which constitute the Third World. Yet appropriate tech

The Space Between Workshop, Fall 2004
This workshop explores how designers might become as sensitive to space as they are to objects. Through a number of projects and precedent studies, architectural design is studied in relation to the Space Between. The design process is studied in reverse, considering space first and objects second. This is not to imply that objects are not important, but rather that space is equally important.

Suggested Activities
These activities are designed to help visitors actively engage Kara Walker's complex and provocative work. They can be paired with content found in other sections of this Web site including Themes, Techniques and Media, and Types of Response.
Booking a guided or self-guided visit.
Before Your Visit
Visitors learn best when they are prepared for the upcoming museum experience. Giving your group more information will help set the stage for an enjoyable and memorable experience. Suggestions:
- Get acquainted with the Walker Art Center
- Explore the Techniques and Media and Themes sections of this Web site
- Review background material (see Annotated Resource List)
- Listen to Kara Walker in conversation with curator Philippe Vergne
In the Galleries
The following group activities are meant to enliven and deepen your group's visit to the exhibition.
The Questions Game
Goal of the Activity:
- Viewers understand that Kara Walker's dramas inspire inquiry from multiple points of view; they explore how her work raises questions about race, gender, sexuality, and slavery, and they see that she provides no clear or easy resolutions.
- Facilitator will use questions from viewers as a starting point for discussion.
- Select a large-scale work in the galleries and, working with the entire group or with smaller subgroups, ask individuals in the group to share the first questions that come to mind. Ask the group to generate questions for a few minutes. Instruct participants to resist the urge to answer them.
- Explore the multiple points of view or types of responses that inspired the questions (Is it a descriptive question such as "I don't know what that shape represents?"; an associative question such as "Where did this image come from?"; an emotional question such as "Why is this work so disturbing?"; or a meaning question such as "I don't get why Kara Walker made this?"). Discuss which points of view or types of responses are most prevalent in viewers' questions.
- Referring to the Themes section, discuss the ways that these questions illuminate aspects of the work.
Crafting A Shared Story
Kara Walker's work invites viewers to imagine stories from scenes that are presented frozen and disconnected.
Helpful Hint:
- Prior to their visit, have participants review the Narrative and History: Collusion of Fact and Fiction sections of this Web site.
Goal of the activity:
- Viewers discover possible interpretations of stories from studying the work.
- Ask the entire group to silently view one artwork for a few minutes, noticing as many details as they can.
- Ask the participant to begin by imagining the setting, characters, and actions that led to the present scene.
- Invite another participant to describe the actions they see occurring in the present. Include the conflicts and motivations that create the plot of this scene.
- Ask one participant to describe how this story might continue into the future and eventually end. Include the resolution of the conflict or climatic interaction of the characters.
Discussion questions:
- Did the story's action flow logically or shift unpredictably from one teller to another? Why did this happen?
- How would you describe the genre of the story you crafted? Is it historical fiction, a fable, a romance novel, a horror tale, a biographical narrative, a political satire, or something else?
- Did participants feel that issues of race, identity, or personal experience shaped their interpretation of the work? To avoid conflict, remind participants to speak only from their point of view and in the first-person singular.
Free Writing
Goal of the Activity:
- Viewers discover associations and capture initial responses to Kara Walker's work. This activity may also be used to begin a more in-depth writing exercise that is completed after the gallery visit.
Helpful Hint:
- Remind participants to bring pencils and notebooks or provide them for the group. Pens and markers are not allowed in the galleries. Stools are available for use. Inquire at either lobby.
- Have participants choose a particular work of art.
- Instruct them to write continuously for 3-5 minutes on whatever comes to mind as they view the artwork.
- Remind participants to refrain from editing or censoring themselves and to disregard punctuation and grammar.
- When time is up, have participants read over their free writing and circle what they think is their best sentence or phrase.
Follow-up Discussion
- As time permits, allow the students to share their favorite sentence or phrase from what they have written.
After Your Visit
Active learning is reinforced by self-reflection, reviewing the significance of the experience, and actively linking newly aquired information and existing knowledge.
Ask the following questions of your group near the end of your visit, as you travel back to your school, or a homework assignment.
- What one thing will you remember from your visit?
- What did you like the most?
- What disturbed you? What did you like the least?
- What big ideas or questions do you have now that you did not have before?
- What connections can you make between what you just learned and things you knew about the work or the artist before your visit?
In the Classroom or Studio
Kara Walker's Concept/Your Medium
investigate the main concepts in Kara Walker's work. Start by reviewing the different themes on this Web site, explore one or more using the medium of your preference: drawing, painting, dance, etc.
Your Concept/Kara Walker's Medium
Use the rich set of artistic approaches found in Kara Walker's work to explore new aspects of the concepts or themes in your own artistic work. The Techniques and Media section of this site will give you insights into the working methods employed by the artist.
Schedule a Guided Tour
Guided tours of the exhibition Kara Walker: My Lover, My Complement, My Enemy, My Love are available for high school, college and adult groups. Led by highly trained volunteers, these tours are designed to meet the needs and expectations of each individual group. With a focus on conversation and dialogue, a guided tour experience will enhance your understanding of the complexity found in the work of Kara Walker.
Tours are offered for groups of 10-90 visitors. The maximum number of people that can be admitted as one group may vary due to available space and tour guides. Self-guided tours are limited to 60 students. For more specific information about tour prices and offerings, visit learn.walkerart.org.
Check out resources and accomodations for visitors at the Walker: http://learn.walkerart.org/tour.wac
Host a book club
Kara Walker describes her work as both visual and literary. Works of fiction ranging from Uncle Tom's Cabin written by Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1852 to the contemporary novels of Toni Morrison act as influences on her work and her interest in narrative.
Reading fiction that inspired Kara Walker is a great way to help you understand her art. First, visit the Annotated Resource List to review the selection of novels and plays that relate thematically to her subject matter. Select a novel or play from the resource list, read it in your book club or group, and then visit the exhibtion. Group tours of 10 or more people receive discounted admission and can schedule a private guided tour of any exhibition for a minimal additional fee. Visit the Tours section of the Walker Web site to learn more.
If you are not part of a book club, you are welcome to join the Artist's Bookshelf. Copresented by the Friends of the Minneapolis Public Library, the Walker's book club focuses on shared themes between contemporary literature and contemporary art. The Artist's Bookshelf meets on Target Free Thursday Nights on the first Thursday of the month. In winter/spring 2007 the Artist's Bookshelf will read titles related to Kara Walker's work. Participants, are welcome to join a free guided tour of the exhibition Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love at 6 pm on those dates''.
Plan a Community Dialogue
A visit to the exhibition can be used as a springboard for dialogue on the complex and often divisive issues of race, representation, and identity that inform Kara Walker's work. Planning and hosting such an event in your community may provide an opportunity to increase tolerance and understanding and strengthen relationships between friends and neighbors. However, dialogue on these topics can also reveal significant differences of opinion and experience. Thoughtful consideration should be given to all aspects of a community event where difficult subject matter is discussed. Engaging an experienced facilitator can help insure a positive outcome for your community event.
A number of planning tools are also available online to help plan your community event. A Planning Guide developed by Animating Democracy can be downloaded and used to structure your event. The Art and Civic Engagement Workbook developed by the Walker can also be helpful in hosting an arts-based civic engagement activity in conjunction with the exhibition.

I dunno, but I like your description of the sound :-)
I have seen this once. I was in the forest with my elderly dog and just as we passed under a tree, a squirrel fell out and landed on its back about a foot in front of her nose. It made a squirrelly noise which I guess was the equivalent of "oh sh1t" and was on its feet and back up the tree before she could react. And yes....it sounded just like dropping a packet of rice.
I wouldn't know .

Question Author
LOL Marty, imagine the larger sized bag (cooked) falling on concrete about five feet away from you ..or an over ripened medium sized marrow with legs.
The poor wee beasties must have this built into their medium-sized rodent psyches as an occupational hazard. |
That link about cats is interesting - still reminded me horribly of the story a while back where some louts threw a cat out of a high window, then went back more than once and threw it out again. That one didn't survive.
Its fight or flight and adrenalin making it run, no prey animal if it can will run no matter how badly wounded.
The smaller the animal, the greater the height it can fall from, unhurt. All things being equal, the terminal velocity of a falling squirrel is much slower then that of a cat, and both animals are built to take a decent fall as that is what's needed to survive. The supple muscles of cats and squirrels can stand a fair whack. Evenso, they do get hurt in extreme cases.
I am not sure but something which isn't built for jumping like a mouse would be able to fall from any height without serious damage, being a lot lighter than the bigger animals. |

Lovely up-market hotel and LondonTown negotiated a very attractive rate. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Small problems with the air conditioning and TV that were resolved with 10 minutes of reporting the faults. If you wish to use the hotel's car parking facility be sure to book in advance. However, there is an NCP car park within 500 meters. If you require in room tea and coffee making facilities be prepared to pay an extra GBP 20.00 to have a kettle and cups delivered to your room. Overall experience: 8 out of 10. | ||

Greg Silverman, senior vice president of Analytics at Interbrand, says the degree of impact on brand value depends on the companys industry. Because the fundamental connection between brand and value is the securitization of future earnings, in some categories green is much more important to stickiness of brand and in other categories its less important.
He says it also depends on the substance of the program. Any strategy poorly executed is going to be a poorly executed strategy. Its the efficacy of the program that matters the most. Green can be good if its good green.
In reviewing the list of 100 Best Global Brands, GreenOrder, a strategy and marketing firm focused on helping companies maximize the value of sustainability, rated Toyota the most successful at using green initiatives to enhance brand value. Citing Toyota for the highest industry relevancespecifically, for leveraging green initiatives to successfully market hybridsamong the 100 brands on the list, GreenOrder also gave it high marks for messaging effectiveness, differentiation, and credibility. While noting that direct competitor Honda is considered by many environmentalists to be the greenest car company (both in internal operations and product), the value to the brand is in part tied to commercial recognition by the consumer (remember that brand value measures the intangibles of which perception is an important contributor).
But he cautions against greenwashing. Lots of companies are trying to get on the green band wagon because they perceive it to be a hot issue, and they are putting forward messaging campaigns that amount to little more than we care about the environment too, he says. I dont think those empty statements are going to carry weight with consumers; [consumers] are becoming more educated and savvy about corporate environmental [practices]. They know when a company is making a broad claim that doesnt have much weight behind it.
Mary Nickerson, national marketing manager for Advance Technology Vehicles (including Prius), says Toyotas green programs are not the result of 21st century trends, but rather reflect a long standing culture at Toyota that began in the 1960s to provide modes of transportation that have the least impact on the environment. Green has long been in Toyotas DNA, Nickerson says. Were that way as a culture. Its not an initiative for this year, an initiative for next year .
Toyota's commitment to its environmental efforts is reflected in its stated intentions to have a hybrid version of each of its cars in the very near future (some reports place production of the entire line as early as 2010). Its hybrid offerings, coupled with internal green initiatives like returnable packaging, composting, and waste elimination programs, give it a platform upon which to promote its progressive actions on behalf of the environment.
But do consumers really care about the environment? According to a recent study released by HSBC, many do not.
In fact in the West, where green focused advertising is most prevalent, consumers seem to be least concerned. In regions that are directly suffering effects (for instance China, Hong Kong, India, and Latin America) the concern is much higher. In China, which contributes the highest emissions of carbon dioxide to the world, more than half of the respondents ranked climate change among their top concerns; 60 percent of Indians chose it as among their top concerns.
In relatively more developed, affluent countries (like Britain, Germany, and the US), cynicism persists that companies use environmental initiatives to further their own financial agenda. This sort of criticism can arguably be more damaging to a companys image than doing nothing at all.
If Toyota and others are in the business of satisfying demand by supplying products that consumers are interested in, and the bulk of consumers are not that interested in the environment, then what is the benefit of fulfilling a green agenda? Given the many competing issues of the day for the average company, is there any substantial long-term risk to brand value by not participating in the green craze?
Interbrands Silverman agrees that it can be beneficial within context. Events roil different segments of the marketplace at different speeds of time, he says. Therefore, he suggests, its worth understanding the market to judge how valuable the effort would be. If [during] research and analysis, green surfaces in the dialogue and end-user choices as something that matters, then yes [its worth the effort]. If youre green and it matters to your market base, then it helps your brand value.
According to Silverman, while it comes down to the importance of green in the consumers choice, it is also possible for a company to set the agenda and influence consumers.
Is green a part of [a companys] value system independent of the financial return? he asks. [For instance, are] we going to do it because of what it explains to our customers and, more importantly, our employees about what sort of company we are? Then the question is more about who do we want to be? As an example of a company going green with this possible motive, he cites Wal-Marts program to replace all the light bulbs in its ceiling fan displays with energy-efficient bulbs, saving $6 million a year.
Switching out might cost more than what they are immediately getting back, says Silverman. That cannot have been the best financial decision in and of itself; but from a branding perspective they probably thought there were enough latent benefits that overrode the short-term costs. Four or five years ago they may not have made that decision.
GreenOrders Shapiro also references a companys intent as valuable to the overall effort, referencing BPs rocky record in recent years. Shapiro takes a pragmatic approach to situations like this, suggesting that some effort is vastly preferable to no effort. The truth is no company has a perfect environmental record, he says. Do you give companies credit for actions they are taking proactively? In that regard BP has taken a leadership position in finding new ways to combat climate change, deal with energy security.
[BP is on a mission] to be progressive on energy and environmental issues, and they have [been] for decades, he says. It doesnt mean they get a free pass, but it also doesnt mean those initiative should be undermined.
In judging companies that purport to engage in green initiatives, Shapiro thinks the public should be practical. Some people hold [these companies] to a higher standard but thats not fair because whats the alternative? You dont want to drive companies in the opposite direction by holding them to too high standards.
From Nickersons perspective, Toyota will continue its path regardless of the rise and fall of environmental concerns among the public. I think we would stay our course because weve been on this course of hybrid as a core technology since we showed the first in the sixties at an auto show. She notes that the savings Toyota realizes in its own environmental efforts also makes good business.
Or as GE says, green is green, which may be the best news to overcome the skeptics and continue to encourage big brands that a world worth saving is a world we can live in. Or put more cynically, if we dont have a world to live in, we wont need products.

It seems they were fortunate to get where they were with Matsuzaka/Buchholz out for the year, and Lackey being the worst SP in baseball. That's 3/5 of your rotation being gone or a zero....it's caught up with them.
Jenk's zero didn't help either....Albers masked that problem for 3 months...but sadly that was exposed as well.
If Lackey was even remotely competent, we would have likely won 100 games and could have absorbed a short injury to Beckett like this, and Buchholz being gone. Lackey is the true culprit of the season, no doubt.
Make no mistake, we are in harm's way now. This thing is in doubt.
Jesus Christ, do some people never learn? The sort of stuff that happened, and that almost always happens, is precisely why those annual preseason "Will the Sox win 100 games?" or "Will the Sox be the best team ever?" threads should be titled "Are you willing to proclaim your ahistorical ignorance in public?" Lackey and Matsuzaka were unknowns coming into the season--as was Beckett!--so the fact that the starting pitching hasn't rivaled the Phillies shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Given those preseason question marks and the number of bodies we've run out to start games this year, 93-95 wins is arguably exactly how well the team should be expected to perform.

Had breakfast. Ordered wrong item. Mentioned this to an employee, and she brought me a new order without any charge. Thank you.
Very busy drive through- all times of the day. Inside seems cold. The food is typical- good all american fast food. Fries are the best. Good value. Friendly staff. Dependable-comfort food at its best!
The drive thru screws up my orders EVERYTIME (not exagerating)! The employees always seem so overwhelmed, unorganized and crabby. They need someone that can show them how to multi-task and check orders before giving them to the customers. This might help the line not take so long if people didn't have to check the order to assure they received what... More

Elementary students in the Glasgow Independent and Barren County school systems will get a taste of their respective high schools' rivalry in an inter-district competition to raise awareness and funds for heart disease.
Students at the nine elementary schools will be collecting plastic bottle caps and aluminum can tabs starting Monday through Nov. 9, as part of the community events leading up to the Barren County Heart Walk on Nov. 12 at Beaver Trail Park. Candy Wethington, chairman of this year's Heart Walk committee, said the bottle cap drive is one of several ways the Heart Walk committee is trying to make the annual fundraiser for the American Heart Association more than just one day.
"Most people think of (the Heart Walk) as just a one-day event for just a few hours … and we're trying to kind of change that perception and get more involvement in the community," Wethington said.
The Heart Walk has lost momentum in recent years, Wethington said, and the committee this year decided it was time to rejuvenate the event and remind the community how important it is to understand the risks and impacts of heart disease.
"We're just trying to get people fired up about it," Wethington said.
While the caps and tabs that are collected will be turned in to a recycling facility in return for money, Wethington said the competition for the elementary school students really isn't about the money. She's not even sure the items collected will bring in a significant amount of money. But by getting the children involved and creating an event that lasts more than just a week, Wethington said she is hoping it will have a significant impact on the community's awareness of heart disease and interest in the Heart Walk.
"It's more about the interest it will spark than the dollars," Wethington said. "Because if you can spark the interest in just one person, that 'Gosh, maybe I should go out and exercise and eat right,' than that's the important part."
Containers will be at South Green, Highland, Eastern, North Jackson, Red Cross, Park City, Hiseville, Temple Hill and Austin Tracy elementaries for the collection of the caps and tabs, and Wethington will pick up the items and keep track of which district collects the most. With so many more schools in the Barren County district, Wethington said she really wants to get the Glasgow students excited about it.
"We're gonna have to get those Scotties fired up," Wethington said.
For North Jackson principal Anthony Frazier, the competition is not the focus. Heart disease is an area of study in the children's physical education classes, and he knows that the Heart Walk is a worthy health awareness event.
"We want to do whatever is best for our kids and whatever we can do to promote health awareness," Frazier said.
His school is concentrating on encouraging the students to bring in as many as they can, without thinking about the other Barren or Glasgow schools, Frazier said. North Jackson generally has an ongoing tab collection throughout the school year, because the items are often used in fundraisers and the school values recycling, the principal said. This is the first time the school has participated in an activity for the Heart Walk, and Frazier said he is confident his school will do well.
"This is a wonderful staff and a wonderful group of students," Frazier said. "They'll do a wonderful job promoting it and getting it out among the community."
Wethington would love to extend the competition outside of the school districts and into the community, she said. RR Donnelley and Citizens First banks will also serve as collection sites, where employees and customers can drop off caps and tabs for the district they want to support. Any other business is welcome to participate as well, Wethington said, and she would love for the whole community to collect the caps and tabs. Wethington will pick up the items from any location that collects them.
The school district that collects the most tabs and caps will be awarded with a trophy from Mayor Rhonda Trautman, which will be presented at the Heart Walk.
Along with the bottle cap and aluminum can tab competition in the schools, other events leading up to the Heart Walk will include proceeds nights at various restaurants, where a portion of the evening's profits will be donated to the American Heart Association, and a dessert tasting, in which ticket proceeds will go to AHA. Merchants throughout the community will also be selling red hearts, in an effort to "paint the town red" for heart disease.
Anyone who wants to donate bottle caps and can tabs or sign up for a Heart Walk team can call Candy Wethington at (270) 659-4005.

This man is a self made billionaire and has some advice for everybody watching did not sit back and wait for the government to act.
They're create your an opportunity is joining me now from Austin, Texas is John Paul the -- is CEO -- -- -- co-founder.
There and also owner of put strong.
Among many businesses that you're involved in John Paul is -- great of -- to be here.
Let me ask you this though because it to talk about opportunity is one thing -- you did it and did it more successfully than.
The vast majority of people but for somebody who's struggling to find work well how does that translate.
Well first fully -- to understand -- in America -- we the people.
If we depend on the government -- radar jobs -- -- -- -- lives for us that's Communists it socialistic that's not America.
We the people must working go out there and find something and I've got a kid there's a lot out there you just have to now I'll give an example.
-- Tyler Texas last night with 226 year -- Jessica and Tyler.
They wanted to open up a -- they did have several 100000 dollars in the last three years in this economy.
They've managed to get together 50000 dollars opened a salon.
Went to one of the Paul Mitchell schools we have about 161000.
Students -- graduate each year from our school.
And there's more jobs -- that there are students to fill right now.
However we also want to go to the school to get the people don't wait for them to go to -- all of a sudden they were fully staffed in full operation the very first day.
Forbes magazine had an article last week about a company in New Jersey called Crested.
Crescent is paying seventeen dollars an hour for people of the assembly line if they know what they're doing.
They're having such a problem getting workers unskilled workers are gonna teacher workers what to do.
That now from New Jersey they're getting a bus to go to New York to go to some of the areas there to get unskilled workers down.
In up in North Dakota there are tens of thousands of jobs and energy.
I think when the -- things that I for in the last few months.
Is that a lot of younger people are going to work in fast food restaurants may be its minimum wage instead of waiting for their ideal job.
They're doing something temporarily to get them under way.
So it's we the people that should take over.
Find the opportunities go -- to be back to what America's all about we the people making it happen I have not just waiting for the government do some great.
I have to say we're thinking of government view I had you might want to run for public confidence I'm -- I'm just say Ed.
But I know that you signed -- Warren Buffett's giving pledge not long ago to give away at least half of your fortune.
They -- -- away yourself not to the government on my dad.
Do you think that we give it in this country the people who have made the box do you think that that you give enough.
I think well I -- feel that I give enough and I'm giving more the whole thing is now finding out where to put the money where it's really working.
So every year I'm giving more and -- I think there's a lot more like me that are out there but you look at this way.
I could spend a dollar on a philanthropy program like -- appellation -- I can spend one dollar and maybe get fifty -- -- hundred dollars worth of what the government would get.
Because as a business per cycle for the end result the immediately -- would have a lot of red tape along the way.
It's -- -- and I think that -- go ahead finish about.
I think a lot of people are thinking the same way I am let's contribute our money.
To help America grow where we know best his business people we can help out in the -- a -- a lot further than I think a bureaucracy that.
That one last thing John -- the drop in unemployment rates back to where was in march of 2009 is the economy improving.
Enough you think that that's justified.
Well -- look at this way.
There's only 13 of the people that lost their jobs saw back you know in.
That are back at work there's a lot that aren't back at work I think that the justification is this we have a lot more people back to work at a lot of people for example I think.
In politics should look at where they're weak and where there's strong -- -- -- -- example the super committee if you don't mind share for the super committee.
Yet the super -- be was a great idea but how do you make it work.
They're all politicians may be one of them had a father that was not a -- of one time.
They did -- behind closed doors.
First of all they have to realize your weaknesses I don't my weakness -- -- not a -- help person.
Thank god for managers are are in accounts or I'd be really in big trouble however these guys are great politicians they probably mean well.
But one -- why don't you do it in open doors do -- behind cameras and get some business people in there.
That are used to making things work there used to take -- -- the economy is bad.
You know how to we now reduce our expenses and make things work you look at corporate America they have a lot of money now that's there right.
Because when things went bad they look at how do we make things go right how -- we spend -- they get more results.
So -- the super committee has some business people and their help them out and they did it not behind closed doors but in front of windows with cameras in there.
They could solve this not for a trillion and a quarter but maybe 45 trillion dollar amen to that properly to help America.
John Paul it's great to talk to thank you so much John Paul -- always full of ideas and he made it made it made -- -- A man please come back -- and take care you can to depends not.

Remodelling is, without doubt, the best way to create a new look for your kitchen.
Imagine it: new flooring, gleaming countertops, updated cabinets, a stylish sink, heck, you can even change the layout if you want, maybe add a kitchen island... Sounds great does it not?
Well, guess what? It is also the best way to declare bankruptcy (pardon the melodrama, but the truth is that remodelling will cost you more than just "a pretty penny").
If you can work a remodel into your budget, then by all means go for it.
However, if a remodel is not quite in your kitchen's near future but you feel that it is still in desperate need of a facelift, do not fret; there are other ways.
This one is pretty simple and obvious; a new coat of paint will do wonders, so do not hesitate, get right to it.
If you are looking for less "obvious" and more "interest" (at a higher cost, of course), consider using patterned tiles halfway down your wall; just make sure it complements the colour of the paint above it.
Installing new cabinetry is no cheap affair, so why not treat your cabinets to a fresh coat of paint instead.
Black will heighten the sophistication in a modern kitchen, yellow will bring a burst of sunshine, and red (a bold but rewarding choice) will help you work up an appetite.
White is a great choice for those who would rather go bold, and the sanitary feeling is definitely a bonus. Whatever colours you choose, make sure they suit you and your kitchen.
When it comes to finishes, silk vinyl is your best bet; it's easy to clean and has a muted sheen. However, before you go about painting your cabinets, make sure that they can take paint.
If they have a real wood surface, they will. If not, then refacing them is a great alternative.
Contract a carpenter to remove the doors and reface them and the exposed faces of the cabinet with a veneer of your choice.
This option also gives you a greater variety; wood veneers and plastic laminates are available in various finishes.
Another simple way of updating your cabinets is changing the hardware; new drawer pulls and doorknobs in brushed nickel or pewter, or with sleek lines and unusual shapes, will make a great difference.
These small details can easily make or break the unity in a space, so make sure the fixtures used on the cabinets have a similar finish as the faucets, doorknobs, and hinges.
New lighting is a great way to bring new life to your kitchen. Many old kitchens have only one overhead fixture, but these do not often provide enough light.
To supplement this, consider adding recessed or pendant lights to improve the general lighting.
Getting rid of the clinical feel that the usual fluorescent tube that runs across the centre of the ceiling gives in favour of warmer lights will cosy up your kitchen.
If there are features in your kitchen you would like to accentuate, instal directional lighting that will best do this.
Wall sconces are a great way to add ambient lighting; do not forget to add the much needed but often forgotten task lighting underneath the overhead cabinets.
Overall, make sure that whatever lighting you instal works with the style of your kitchen.
The backsplash
This refers to the wall area between your overhead cabinets and your lower cabinets.
It covers a small area but plays a vital role in the look of the kitchen, often tying together the countertops and cabinets.
Try replacing an old backsplash with glass, ceramic, or mirror tiles or even a chalkboard — a creative choice that allows you to jot down recipes and to-do lists.
Art and accessories
Kitchens are the perfect place to display fun and quirky pieces of art, so try to avoid the generic painting of fruits or vegetables and go for something a little more unexpected.
For that homey ambience, go for fridge magnets with interesting shapes or quotes, art by children, and anything else that is bound to put a smile on your face.
Clean, fix and de-clutter
1. No matter how new and sparkly your fixtures and fittings look, a dirty kitchen is still going to look dirty, so set aside some time to clean up all dirt, grime, or muck that has lodged itself in every nook and cranny it could find.
2. Fix any leaks and reseal any cracks that will give your new-look kitchen a bad name.
3. If it looks cluttered, it probably is. If you cannot remember the last time you used it, then you probably do not need it. If you have got two of each appliance, both of which are in working order, then one has to go. You will thank me once you' have sold them and have a little extra cash in your pocket.
Make sure that at the end of the day, your kitchen makes you smile. For the space that is most often abused and aesthetically neglected (more because it is not often in the public eye than for any other reason), it could definitely benefit from a bit of love.

Harmonix: "Rough" and "scary" competing with Guitar Hero

Harmonix: Euro Rock Band won't get "magically cheaper"
Responding to a post in the Rock Band forums, Harmonix development manager Greg LoPiccolo has said that the European version of the rhythm action game would "not magically get cheaper because you wish it to be so."
"We are strongly motivated to keep the price as low as possible," he said. "That said, we don't propose to lose money on it. The fact of the matter is, the costs of releasing in Europe are far higher than in the US, in some ways uniquely so for Rock Band compared to other game titles, because of the size of the peripherals."
LoPiccolo refused to reveal details of the European pricing structure as that "would get me fired". However, he did reveal that shipping the rather large Rock Band box from the States to Europe was one of the presiding factors.
"Seriously, I was shocked to learn how much it costs us to ship an RB peripherals box to Europe. It's way more than you'd expect."
LoPiccolo continued, going to great lengths to assure the community that Harmonix wasn't out to exploit.
"We're not gouging you, primarily because doing so doesn't serve our interests," he said. "We can only build our franchise if you buy our games. You may conclude that Rock Band isn't worth the price charged, and that is your prerogative. But it's not magically going to get cheaper because you wish it to be so.
"We've sold a ton of these in the US at a far higher price point than people are used to paying for a videogame, because it really is a new and different experience."
In case you hadn't heard, people had a minor aneurysm a few days ago when EA confirmed that the European version of Rock Band would cost £180/224EU in its entirety.
However, Greg LoPiccolo reassures us all by saying, "Once you get a crack at it, you'll know whether or not it's worth the money. We think you might decide that it is."
