Few can forget the night of June 5,1968, when Senator Robert F. Kennedywas shot while campaigning for the U.S.presidency at the Ambassador Hotel inLos Angeles. Although a few bodyguardswere present, including former FBI agentWilliam Barry, Kennedy had no otherprotection. The senator died the next day,spurring a change in the responsibilitiesof the Secret Service. From then on,Secret Service agents would be responsi-ble for protecting major presidential can-didates and their spouses.
When it was established on July 5,1865, the Secret Service was primarilyresponsible for preventing the counterfeit-ing of U.S. currency. That changed withthe assassination of President WilliamMcKinley in 1901. The need for protec-tion for the U.S. president became clear,and the Secret Service was put in charge.Over the years, Secret Service protectionhas been extended to many others, includ-ing:
• The president's immediate family•The vice president and their immedi-
ate family•The president- and vice president-
elect and their immediate families•Former presidents and their spouses
(or widows) and minor children•Visiting heads of foreign states and
accompanying spouses•Distinguished foreign visitors•Official representatives of the United
States in special missions abroad•Anyone else the president deems by
executive orderAlthough a large organization, the
Secret Service does not have enoughmanpower to protect every candidate thatruns for the office of president. In 1968when protection was first extended topresidential candidates, there were no cri-teria regarding what and when candidatesreceived the services of the SecretService. The remaining players in the bidfor the U.S. presidency were provided
protection, along with many importantfigures of the time. Today, criteria are inplace. In order to receive Secret Serviceprotection, presidential candidates mustbe considered a key player and demon-strate evidence of:
•Prominence in opinion polls•Entrance in 10 or more primaries•Campaign efforts to seek the nomina-
tion of an aligned party•Matching funds of $100,000 or more•Contributions totaling $2 million or
morePresidential candidates who meet the
criteria may accept or refuse the protec-tion of the Secret Service. While comfort-ing, Secret Service protection can posesomewhat of a barrier with the public andthe media, which is not something mostcandidates want early in the campaigntrail. This may explain why SecretService protection is usually not providedto candidates until 120 days within thegeneral election. Candidates may request
it earlier if the situation warrants, as wasthe case with Barack Obama. He wasgranted Secret Service protection wellbefore the general election due to thenature of threats he had received.
Secret Service protection remains ineffect for presidential candidates until thegeneral election. Whoever wins the elec-tion continues to receive protection until10 years after they have left office.Presidents having served before GeorgeW. Bush and their spouses receive SecretService lifetime protection, unless theydeem otherwise.
Whether they like it or not, major pres-idential candidates are a target. They putthemselves at risk every time they stepout onto the campaign trail. Fortunately,the services of the Secret Service areavailable to them to supplement whateverprotective measures they may alreadyhave in place-thanks to the swift actionsof Congress upon the assassination ofSenator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.
As Election Day draws near, hillsides in communitiesacross the nation are dotted with signs calling for votersto elect so-and-so. Some voters might even receive apersonal visit from the candidate or one of their manysupporters. Of the offices up for grabs, the U.S. presi-dency is the highest and the most prestigious. Have youever wondered about the road to the highest office in theland? What steps are involved? Read on for the answersto these questions and more.
As you might imagine, candidates don't enter thepresidential race lightly. Many are aware of the toll itcan take and refuse to run, while others spend daysthinking it through. Should a candidate decide to make arun for it, they must first announce their candidacy. Thiskicks off the actual campaigning for their party's nomi-nation.
It takes months of campaigning to gather the supportof enough delegates to secure the nomination at thenational party convention. Candidates also work to turnpublic opinion in their favor. Several state caucuses and
primary elections are held in order for party membersand the general public to make their opinions known.State caucuses provide a platform for local party mem-bers to discuss the candidates running and narrow theirchoices. Primary elections give the public a chance tovote for their favorite candidate or the delegates that willrepresent the candidate at the national convention.
Each party holds a national convention where theirnomination is officially announced. This signals the endof the primary election period and the start of the generalelection period. More months of grueling campaigningtake place, with candidates attending rallies, makingspeeches and working hard to gather support.
Voters make their final choice for the U.S. presidencyon Election Day, the first Tuesday after the first Mondayin November. The candidate with the most votes fromthe public receives the popular vote but does not neces-sarily win the election. That decision is up to the mem-bers of the Electoral College.
The number of electors in each state corresponds to
its number of members in Congress. Every state gets twoelectors for its two senators, plus electors for howevermany representatives it has in the House. Traditionally,electors vote for the candidate leading the popular votein their state. However, this is not set in stone, and evenif the candidate wins the popular vote overall, they maynot win the popular vote in enough states to secure the270 electoral votes needed to win. Such was the case inthe elections of 1824, 1876, 1888 and 2000.
After the polls have closed, the votes have been tal-lied and the electoral votes are in, the U.S. president isnamed and inaugurated into office on January 20. In theevent that no candidate secures the number of electoralvotes needed, members of the House of Representativesmust elect the president, which is exactly what happenedin 1824. Although Andrew Jackson had won the popularvote, he nor his opponent, John Quincy Adams, receiveenough electoral votes to win the election. The House ofRepresentatives selected John Quincy Adams the sixthpresident of the United States.

My, how time has flown. Seems like only yesterday you werepacking up for the big move to your house. Now your childrenare all grown, some with children of their own, and the houseyou have cherished for so long seems big and empty. The timehas come for you to downsize.
Downsizing typically involves moving to a smaller home,which creates a number of positives. Depending upon how muchyou still owe on your current house, you may make enough of aprofit to put down a substantial down payment on a smallerhouse or buy it outright. Either way, you will have more cash inyour pocket for other things. With less square footage, you willhave lower utility bills and make fewer purchases, allowing youto save even more money. You will also have less to care for,easing stress and freeing up time.
With downsizing also come some negatives, of course. Youmay not have the room for out-of-town guests, much less yourpossessions. Chances are everything in your home right nowwill not fit in your new home. If you own a lot you're partial to,getting rid of some of it may not be easy. Ask your family andfriends to help. They might even be willing to take some itemsoff your hands. Wouldn't you rather see your daughter usingyour mother's china now than making her wait until after yourdeath? The same goes for your phonograph. It would look love-ly in your friend's parlor, and they're even willing to pay youwhat it's worth.
When sorting through your possessions, start in the rooms
you use the least to avoid having to walk through an obstaclecourse for days on end. Move from large pieces to small andcolor-code everything according to whether you want to keep it,give it to a family member or friend, donate it to charity or sellit. With heirlooms you're handing down, write down any signifi-cant details or memories associated with them for future owners.With heirlooms you're selling, bring in an expert to assess themand recommend the best method of sale.
Sifting through your possessions will take time. Don't rushthe process, or you could end up making decisions you regret.Go through everything, old cards, letters, papers and more, andkeep what's important to you. If you're holding onto items foryour grown kids, don't. Let them know what you have and findout what they want you to do with it. Do not take it to your newhome. You need all of the space there for your own things. Giveyour children a time frame to retrieve the items they want ordonate them to charity.
Paring down won't be easy, but it can be done. Be firm inwhat you want to keep and bequeath items only when ready.Don't succumb to the pressure of friends and family. It's yourmemories, so do with them as you wish. Just don't go over-board, or you'll end up feeling like a can of sardines in your newhome. Remember, you're downsizing to free up time and moneyand reduce stress. The more stuff you have, the less likely that isto happen.
You have wanted a porch swing eversince you sat on one as a child at yourgreat aunt's house. Oh, how you loved tonestle into the pillows and swing in thegentle breezes of a warm summer's day.For years, you owned houses without aporch, but recently, you bought one witha porch, a rather large wraparound porch.You are all set to get a porch swing ofyour own.
You can make your own porch swingor buy one. Either way, you will have anumber of factors to consider. First, youmust determine the size of porch swingthat would best be suited to your needs.Large swings can hold three to four peo-ple but require more support than the tra-ditional two-seaters. Your porch should beable to accommodate whatever size of
swing you select, spatially and structural-ly.
You must determine the best materialfor your needs. Wicker and wood arepopular choices, and if you aren't realhandy, you can modify a wicker sofa intoa swing. Simply cut off the legs and add asupport base. Should you choose wood,cedar and teak are strong and will weath-er well. Oak is also strong but heavy. Pineis inexpensive but will dent and crackeasily. Pine, oak and maple can be paint-ed to increase their longevity.
Along with size and material, youmust look at the construction of theswing. The best swings have joints thatare screwed together rather than nailed.The seat depth, slat spacing and backangle can vary. For comfort, you probably
want a swing with a decent seat depth,fairly close slats and some curve in theback.
Another factor to consider is style.Porch swings come in a wide range ofstyles, some more intricate than others.Try to select a style that suits your tastesand complements your home. A whitewicker porch swing might work well for aVictorian home but not for a log cabin.For that, you might want a rough-hewncedar porch swing.
Try out as many porch swings as youcan and select the one that works best foryou. Add weather-resistant cushions tomake it comfortable, and if needed, sealor paint it to extend its life and match thedecor of your home.
Less can be more when downsizing
Finding the perfect porch swing takes time

It's been years since you painted yourliving room, and it's starting to show. Whatwas once a rich, creamy off-white has nowturned into a smudged, buttery yellow. Youbrought in a painter last time, but that's notwithin your budget this time. You're goingto have to roll up your sleeves and tacklethe walls yourself. Here are some tips toensure you do as good of a job as the pro-fessional you hired last time.
Move everything out
Now is not the time to get lazy and tryto paint the room with everything still in it.Even if you have the space to move every-thing to the center of the room, you willstill have to work around it and run therisk of something getting splattered. Boxup everything you can and move it toanother room.
Cover up
Removing paint splatters from floorsand baseboards is never easy, so saveyourself the trouble and use drop clothsand painter's tape. Cover the floors, base-boards, trim and anything else you don't
plan to paint. Tape the edges of the base-boards to the drop cloths on the floor forcomplete protection.
Gather the right supplies
Make a list of everything you will needand start gathering it. Check the quality ofsupplies and throw out any that have seenbetter days, in particular brushes androllers. Good paint jobs require goodbrushes and rollers. If you aren't good atcutting in, consider buying some of thenew products available for making the taskeasier, like edging and corner brushes.Finally, make sure you have a sturdy lad-der for those hard-to-reach places. Don'ttry working from a pile of crates. Youcould fall and hurt yourself and make a bigmess in the process.
Choose the right paint
If you plan to use the same paint as lasttime, you should have few problems. Ifyou plan to use something else, you willneed to do your homework. There are hun-dreds of paint colors available, and for thebest results, you need to buy samples of
the colors that appeal to you and test themon the wall. Paint large patches and look atthem at various points throughout the day.Live with the shades for a while to deter-mine the right color for you. Once youhave a color in mind, you will need tochoose the type and sheen of paint. Paintcomes in two types: latex and oil-based.Latex is easy to work with and clean up,but not as durable as oil-based paint. Paintcomes in many sheens. The glossier thesheen, the easier the paint will be to clean.If you have a lot of defects in the walls,you may want a duller finish to hide them.
Prep the surface
It's not enough to tape everything offand toss some paint onto the wall. Paintwill not stick to dirt, nor will it fill in holesand gouges. For good coverage, repair alldefects and clean the walls. Then apply aprimer. This will serve as a base and allowfor fewer coats and more even coverage.
Paint well
Anyone can slap some paint onto awall, but for it to look good, you have to
take your time and do the job right. Workon one wall at a time and move from topto bottom, making large M's and fillingthem in with horizontal strokes. Get anexperienced friend to help. They can dothe cutting in while you do the rolling, orvice versa. The job will go faster withanother set of hands and someone to talkto. Apply as many coats as needed forgood, even coverage.
Let the paint dry
There is nothing worse than scuffing upa good paint job because you got inpatientand moved in furniture before the wallswere dry. When you finish the last coat,step away and give the paint plenty of timeto dry. Leave it overnight, or longer ifneeded, and then move the furniture backin. Be careful as you bring each piece inand give the paint a few days to curebefore hanging up any artwork on thewalls.
Good paint jobs take work. Be preparedto put in the time and you will be pleasedwith the results.
You have lived in your home for quite some timenow, and for the most part, you enjoy it. It is warm andcozy with enough space for everyone and everything.You like the yard as well; there is one little problem withit, however. There is no fence so there is no privacy.
You could build a fence or have one installed. Eitherway, you will need to select the right material for thejob. Fences come in all types of materials. Some of themore common ones include:
Bamboo: This durable material makes a great choicefor the eco-conscious. It can be grown in just sixmonths, is extremely tough and requires no maintenance.
Composite: This strong material looks like wood, butholds up even better. It comes in a wide range of colorsand requires no maintenance.
Metal: This material offers many options from intri-cate ornamental iron fences to simple chain link fences.It is very durable but requires extra care to prevent cor-
rosion.Stone: This attractive material is very durable but can
be labor intensive. The stone can be dry stacked or set inmortar; mortar will take longer but will make for astronger fence.
Vinyl: This material is also very durable and requiresvery little maintenance. The selection of colors is limit-ed, however, and generally the higher the quality of thevinyl, the more the fence will cost.
Wood: This material makes an excellent choice for afence because of its durability. If treated, most types ofwood will last an average of seven to 10 years beyondtheir normal life expectancy. Like metal, wood fencesrequire some maintenance to keep them in good condi-tion.
In addition to a material, you will have to select afence design. If privacy is your main objective, youmight want a privacy fence. Check local ordinances first
to find out what regulations are in place on fencing.Traditional privacy fences are six feet high with four-inch wide boards spaced less than an eighth of an inchapart. Semi-privacy fences have boards spaced fartherapart.
While privacy may be your main objective in yourbackyard, you might want something a little different inyour front yard. You might want a farm fence or a classiccottage picket-style fence. You might want a wider slatfence or a purely decorative fence for visual appeal.
Along with design, you will want to select a style offence. This can range from gothic to flat and should suityour personal preferences as well as the style of yourhome. You may like the gothic style, but it might notwork with your contemporary house.
When selecting a fence, do your homework and learneverything you can. You will be investing a lot of timeand money in the project, so you want to do it right.

Repaint the metal shuttersLive in an older home with metal shut-
ters that have seen better days? Want toreplace the shutters but not sure you canfind new ones in the same size? Beforeyou go to all of the expense of having cus-tom shutters made, why not remove theshutters and repaint them. You just mightbe able to reuse them.
Repainting metal shutters will takesome work. Here are the supplies you willneed:
•Screwdriver•Fine-grit sandpaper•Scrub brush and sponge•Bucket of soapy water•Garden hose•Spray primer•Spray paint or paint designed for metal
in the color of your choice•PaintbrushesFirst, remove the shutters from your
house. If you are lucky, the shutters will bemounted to the wall with anchor screwsand all you will need to do this is a screw-driver.
Next, hand-sand the shutters with fine-grit sandpaper to remove all loose paint.Be careful not to scratch too hard, or youcould damage the surface. When you arefinishing sanding, wash down the shuttersto remove all of the sanding residue anddirt. Spray down the shutters with a gardenhose and let them dry.
Once the shutters are dry, you are readyto paint them. Start with a coat of sprayprimer. Read and follow the manufactur-er's directions and apply the paint six toeight inches away to prevent drips. Usehorizontal as well as vertical strokes foreven coverage. Let the shutters dry com-pletely before applying the topcoat.
If spray-painting the shutters, follow theprocedure above, being careful not to cre-ate drips. If using traditional paint, applythe paint in long, even strokes, again beingcareful not to create drips. Let the paintdry and apply a second coat if needed. Youmay also use a paint sprayer to apply thepaint. If you go this route, read and follow
the manufacturer's directions for the equip-ment and wear the appropriate protection.
Give the shutters a few days to drybefore putting them back on the house. Becareful not to scratch the paint as youinstall the shutters.
That's all there is to it! In just a fewsimple steps, you can repaint your metalshutters and save yourself some money inreplacement costs.
Fresco faux finishDo you adore fresco? Do you wish you
could recreate the look of it in your home?Well, lucky for you, you can. With someglaze and paint, you can turn your wallsinto fresco.
Before starting this project, you need totape off your trim and any areas you donot want painted. Lay down some dropcloths and then prep and prime your wallsaccordingly.
To create the look of fresco on yourwalls, you need these supplies:
•Clear glaze•Three eggshell latex colors of your
choice•Wallpaper trough•4-inch nylon brushesTo begin, pour some glaze into the
wallpaper trough. Then add a smallamount of each color on top of the glaze,allowing the edges to touch but not blend.
Working in small sections, dip a paint-brush into the glaze first and then intoeach color, moving from dark to light.Apply the combination to the wall usingan X-shaped motion. The glaze will keepthe paint workable while the X-shapedstrokes will blend the colors together.When you are pleased with the results,move on to another section.
Continue applying paint to the walls inthe same manner until you have completedthe room. Allow the paint to dry and thenapply a second coat. Let the paint dry forseveral days before hanging anything onyour newly frescoed walls.
That's all there is to it!

Extend yourhome outdoors
Your home is great, but with the kidsgetting older, you feel like you are startingto get cramped and could use a little moreroom. An addition is out of the question.Why not extend your home with a roomoutdoors?
Outdoor rooms are all the rage thesedays and creating one is not as difficult asyou might think. You can set up one inalmost any site from a screened-in porchto a deck to a gazebo to a patch of grass inyour landscape. When creating a room,you should start inside your house. Lookout onto your yard and select an area thatcould serve as a natural extension of yourhome, preferably one with easy access toand from your home.
Determine how the outdoor room willfunction. Do you plan to hang out therewith friends and chat? Do you plan torelax in a hammock and watch televisionthere? Do you plan to play games or exer-cise there? Whatever you intend to do,your outdoor room will need to accommo-date that. Multiple functions might call formultiple pieces of furniture or equipment,which might call for a larger space.
You should design the outdoor roomaround its functions. If you plan to chatthere with friends, you will need comfort-able chairs for everyone to sit on. If youplan to lie in the hammock and watch tele-vision there, you will need a hammock anda television. If you plan to play games orexercise there, you will need a card tableand chairs or some exercise equipment.
You will also need some type of floor-ing, whether a concrete slab, pavers orbrick. If possible, use the same flooringoutside as inside. This will help createcontinuity. Add some rugs underfoot andsome accessories, and you will have agreat outdoor space. Just make sure theitems are weather resistant, unless theroom is sheltered.
If you plan to use the outdoor room incool temperatures, you will need a source
of heat. Fireplaces and fire pits are ideal.Depending upon your needs, budget andpreferences, you may have one installed orbuy one ready made. Chimneas, for exam-ple, are relatively inexpensive and requireno installation.
If you don't have a lot of vegetationalready, you will want to add some. Forprivacy, twine vines and other climbers ontrellises or fences. Fill some containerswith plants. Install some beds. Hang upsome planters.
It doesn't take much to create an out-door room. You can set up one fairly easilyand add to it as you see fit. Like the rooms
Installing beadboardYou love your house, but boy, oh boy,
could the powder room use some work.The fixtures are nice...the walls, not somuch. There are tons of nicks and scrapeson the lower half, probably due to theremoval of layers upon layers of wallpaperlong ago. You could install new drywall,but you'd rather not. Why not cover itinstead with beadboard?
Installing beadboard is a rather simpleprocess. First you need to do some shop-ping and select the right beadboard foryour needs. Beadboard comes in a varietyof styles from tongue-and-groove boardsto plywood sheets to faux beadboard. Youcan buy it finished or unfinished and stainor paint it yourself. Once you have boughtthe beadboard, you will need to bring itinside and give it a few days to get accli-mated.
When you are ready to install the bead-board, remove the baseboards and paintthe top half of the walls if needed. Thenpencil in a level line across the wall andmeasure for the first piece. You may cutthe beadboard to size with a circular saw.To install it, apply some construction adhe-sive to the back, put it into place on thewall and secure it in the corners and alongthe edges with nails.

Gel stains a snapYou're not much of a woodworker, but
you found a little table at a yard sale thatwould look good with a little work. Youcleaned it up, fixed the drawer and nowyou've sanded it down. The table is madeof various types of woods, none of whichare in good condition. That, along with thefact that you don't have a lot of practicewith staining, has made you lean towardusing a gel stain.
Gel stains work well for blending dif-ferent woods and matching existing col-ors, though you may have to use a coupleof colors to get the shade you want.They're a snap to apply, too, particularlyfor beginners, and allow for more controlover the color. They do not work well onfigured woods, as they won't give you theclarity you are looking for.
Before applying a gel stain, you willneed to make sure you have prepped thetable well. The old finish must be strippedcompletely and the table sanded andwiped down. Any trace of old finish orsawdust could mar the results. You'll alsowant to make sure you've taken care ofany defects in the wood, as the stain willseep into them quickly and be difficult towipe away.
Gel stains require little in the way ofequipment, just a soft, clean rag (an old T-shirt will do) and a pair of gloves. Makesure you read the instructions on the backof the can before you begin and apply thestain as recommended. Usually all youwill need to do is apply some stain to thewood and wipe it off after a few minutes.The extensiveness of your wiping willdetermine the evenness and depth of thecolor. If your table has some crevices,you'll want to use a light touch with the
stain. As with defects, the stain will sinkinto crevices fast and be difficult to getout.
After you have finished applying thegel stain and given it time to dry, you willwant to apply a polyurethane topcoat toprotect the color. Gel stains do not pene-trate wood like other stains and requiresealing to ensure the color lasts.
Hanging mirrorsMost people familiar with interior
design know the value of mirrors. Whenplaced right, they can make a room appearlarger and lighter than it really is. A mirrorplaced across from a window in a small,narrow room, for example, can open it up.Mirrors can be used in other ways to playup the features of a room.
Designers employ all kinds of tech-niques with mirrors. Sometimes, theyangle mirrors toward each to break up thereflection and allow for a unique mosaicaffect. Other times, they arrange them in aspecific order for a comforting repetitiouseffect.
The size and shape of mirrors mightdictate their use. An assortment of roundmirrors in various sizes on a wall mightmake for quite an impressive display,whereas a series of long, narrow mirrorson a wall might elongate it. When turnedhorizontally, those same long, narrow mir-rors might make the wall appear wider.
Mirrors can be used to disguise flawsand highlight objects as well. Dresser topscratched? No problem. Have a piece ofmirror cut to fit it, and voila, you've got agreat place to store all of those crystal per-fume bottles. The mirrored top will reflectlight onto the crystal, creating a dazzlingeffect.
Mirrors can do wonders for any decor.Just make sure you use them appropriate-ly. Remember, mirrors reflect, so be care-ful of their placement. Don't hang oneacross from something you'd rather peoplenot notice, like the litterbox or coat closet.Watch out for glare as well. While a mir-ror placed across from your picture win-dow might bounce back a lot of light, itmight also create glare on the TV screen.

The Hoosier revolutionized American kitchens Bread makers, crock-pots, mixers, juicers, slicers …
the list of timesaving and convenient products goes on.But where do you put them all? Finding enough storagespace for all of today’s modern kitchen gadgets andappliances can be a challenge.
You might be surprised to learn that women a hun-dred years had the same problem - limited storage space- until the advent of the Hoosier. Do you know what aHoosier is? Well, yes, it is the name of that Indiana bas-ketball team, but it is also the name of the first mass-produced kitchen cabinet almost exclusively manufac-tured in Indiana. A Hoosier was a tall freestanding cabi-net similar to a hutch but more elaborate with manyniches for storing everyday items. The upper portionconsisted of enclosed shelving perfect for storing finechina and crystal, while the lower portion containeddrawers and cabinets for storing pots and pans. A waist-high porcelain work surface in the middle served as afood prep center. Every possible inch of the unit wasdesigned for storage. Even the inside of the cabinetdoors held racks for lids.
The Hoosier revolutionized American kitchens.Every woman wanted one because it had compartmentsfor silver and spices, bins for cornmeal and flour, abreadbox and, in some models, a built-in sifter. TheHoosier taught us everything we needed to know aboutkitchen storage. Today we just need to expand uponthose ideas and incorporate them into our kitchens.
The first step is to evaluate your needs. If you enjoybaking, you would probably like to have your mixer and
cake pans close at hand, whereas if you’re always onthe go, you may need to get to your crock-pot quickly.The trick to an efficient kitchen is to find the space thatallows maximum access for each item you use on a reg-ular basis.
Choosing the right type of storage for your needscould include standard cabinets, an island or hangingracks. Standard built-in cabinets probably provide thebulk of your storage space now, but are you using themefficiently? Could you shuffle items around to better uti-lize the space? Cabinet manufacturers today offer awide assortment of rollouts to fit most any cabinet ordrawer. When added to lower cabinets, rollout drawersmake finding items a snap. Sometimes moving items toanother location opens up a whole new area for storage.For example, you may have a small closet off thekitchen that you currently use to store cleaning prod-ucts. Fitted with the appropriate shelving, that closetcould be used as a pantry.
If after doing an evaluation you still need more cabi-net space, consider where additional cabinets would fitand how that new location could best serve your needs.Stock cabinets can be purchased in an array of sizes,materials and finishes. Furniture that you already havemay also work. Dressers can be used to store linens,placemats and flatware, while bookcases make forexcellent display areas.
If you have the space, consider adding an island toyour kitchen. Not only will it provide an additional preparea and readily accessible storage space, but depending
upon its design, it may provide other perks as well. Anisland with casters, for example, can be moved from onelocation to another as your needs change, while a sta-tionary island can be expanded with an eating counter.
Many cooks like to have their kitchen aides visibleon hanging racks. These can be purchased in an assort-ment of sizes and finishes for every budget. A recenttrend is to use common pegboard. Painted to coordinatewith your kitchen, pegboard makes an attractive hang-ing rack.
No matter how much space you have, there are a fewsimple guidelines for maximizing the use of that space:
•Keep items near the location they are used. Hangpots and pans, for example, next to the stove.
•Store items used together in the same location.Keep the mixer with the flour and sugar, or better yet,place all of your baking pans and accessories together inone location to create a baking center.
•Utilize inexpensive storage aids. Use door racks tokeep foil, bags and plastic wrap organized and shallowshelving for spices and other items that you need toview and access easily.
•Make sure counters and cabinets are at an accessibleheight. If you have to get out a stepstool every time youneed something, you may lose the joy in cooking.
These are just some of the ways you can maximizethe space in your kitchen and make it more efficient.For other storage ideas, visit your local kitchen designcenter or hardware store.
Distressed furnitureWhen browsing through an antique
store, do you find yourself drawn to old,worn pieces that have been painted numer-ous times and are chipped, nicked anddented? Would you like to create that lookin your home but can't afford to fill yourhome with antiques? Not to worry. Thelook is called "distressed," and it is easy tocreate on just about any furniture piece,old or new.
To start the distressing process, studythe piece carefully and determine wherethe most wear and tear would occur.
Once you have decided how the pieceshould be distressed, you can prepare it fordistressing. If the piece has never beenpainted, prep, prime and paint it. Keep inmind that for layers of paint to show, youwill need at least two good coats of paintthat contrast in color. As soon as the paintis dry, or if the piece you have selected hasalready been painted, apply a clear coat ofsatin sealer to it.
After the piece has been sealed, youmay distress it. To create chips, nicks anddents, use a hammer, light chain or bag ofbolts and screws. Gently hit the piece afew times with your tools. Be careful-youdon't want to damage the framework. Tocreate wormholes, use a drill bit. Again, becareful and don't drill too large of holes orinsert them where they will damage theframework. To make the piece look worn,use some sandpaper. Lightly sand the areaswhere the paint would wear off naturally,like the edges and corners.
Once you are satisfied with the waythat the piece looks, apply a coat of pastewax to it. For a really antique look, use adark paste. This will bring out the wornareas.

Installing a tub surround takes a little time and patience
Nails and screws come in all kinds, andeach is designed for a specific use. Doyou know which type of nail to use forheavy-duty finishing work? What aboutfor light finishing work? Do you knowwhen to use wire brads and ring-shanks?Here is a guide for choosing the right nailor screw for the job at hand.
Standard nail identification has quite ahistory, dating back to England in the 13thcentury. During those days when a carpen-ter needed nails, he had to order them tobe forged by a blacksmith. The blacksmithwould make penny nails, as they werereferred to, and sell them by the hundredaccording to their length. The size of thepenny nail was written with a number andthe letter “d,” which denoted “denarius,” aRoman coin similar to a penny. Thelonger the nail, the larger its penny sizeand the more it cost. A hundred 6d nails,for example, cost six pence, while a hun-dred 3d nails cost three pence. Nails of allsizes became associated with the “d”abbreviation and are still sized that waytoday, although you won’t find them at
those bargain prices. A 3d nail is approxi-mately 1-1/4" long, a 4d nail 1-1/2", a 6dnail 2", an 8d nail 2-1/2" and a 10d nail3".
To determine the length of nail to usefor a particular job, a good rule of thumbis to use a nail three times as long as thethickness of the board you are attaching.For example, to attach a 3/4" piece of ply-wood, you would use an 8d nail that is 2-1/2" long. The length would allow enoughof the nail to go through the board andfasten it securely.
Determining the type of nail to use iseasy once you familiarize yourself withthe types of nails available. Common nailsare used for general purposes, such asframing, while box nails are slightly thin-ner and are used for lighter boards.Galvanized nails have a darker finish andlast longer. They, along with common andbox nails, have standard nail-sized heads.Casing and finishing nails have smallerheads and are used for finishing workwhere the nail heads need to be concealed.The smallest of the finishing-type nails,
wire brads are used for very fine detailwork. Spiral, drywall and ring-shank nailsare threaded, similar to screws, with stan-dard nail-sized heads. They grab the woodbetter than most other types of nails andare used for jobs requiring extra strength.Masonry nails are strong and heavy andare the best choice for use on brick, con-crete and mortar joints.
Nails do a great job of holding boardsin place, but if you need a little extra secu-rity, screws may be in order. The two mostcommon head types are slotted andPhillips. There is no difference betweenthe two, but some screws are only avail-able in one or the other head type. Screwheads vary in shape, too. A flathead screwcan be driven level with the surface, whilea roundhead screw cannot.
As with nails, there are numerous typesof screws for varying uses. Masonryscrews have a larger diameter and headand work best for brick and concrete.Drywall screws, as their name implies,work best with drywall, but because theyare so inexpensive, they can be used for
many other purposes as well. Deck screwsare very similar to drywall screws inshape and size but have a finish suitablefor outdoor use. Lag screws are power-horses and should be used for heavy-dutyprojects.
When predrilling a screw hole, the holeshould be slightly smaller than the screwfor a snug fit. To select the right size ofdrill bit, follow these simple steps:
1. Hold the screw and bit side-by-side.Looking down the point, determine if thebit you have selected is slightly smaller indiameter than the screw. If it is as large orslightly larger than the screw, the screwwill not hold tightly in place.
2. Select another bit and repeat theprocess until you have found one slightlysmaller in diameter than the screw. Afterdrilling the first hole, check the size byinserting the screw before proceeding todrill more holes.
It’s true. You can use nails and screwsfor purposes other than they were intend-ed. However, for the best results, choosethe right nail or screw for the job.
In many older homes, bathrooms were built only witha tub. A shower may have been added later with littlelong-term regard for protecting the surrounding walls.Installing a tub surround is an easy way to upgrade yourbath and save your walls from water damage. For experi-enced do-it-yourselfers, the project can be completed ina couple of hours. For beginners, it may take a littlelonger.
Home improvement stores carry a wide variety of tubsurrounds in all shapes, sizes, colors and configurations.Select the one most appropriate for your room and gath-er all your materials and tools before beginning the proj-ect. In addition to the tub surround, you’ll need a tapemeasure, a pipe or hex wrench, a hole saw, a 14' x 14'piece of cardboard, a caulking gun and caulk, and someadhesive.
If you have ceramic tiles around your tub, you caninstall the tub surround directly over them, as long as
they are in good condition. If any tiles are loose or dam-aged, you should remove all of the tiles and sand thewall smooth. Once the wall is dry and has been cleaned,you can get started.
First, turn off the water and remove the plumbing fix-tures with a pipe or hex wrench. Starting with the wallthat contains the plumbing, measure the distancebetween the fixtures and transfer those measurements tothe cardboard to serve as a template. Cut out the fixturelocations on the template and place it against the wall foraccuracy. Make any necessary adjustments.
Next, lay the template on the back of the surroundpanel for that wall and mark the fixture locations. Usingthe hole saw, cut out the fixture holes. Position the panelin place to test it for accuracy. Make any adjustmentsand then apply the adhesive to the back of the panel, fol-lowing the manufacturer’s instructions and leaving athree-inch space along the edge. Wait a few minutes to
allow the adhesive to set and then apply pressure evenlyover the surface of the panel.
After the first panel is up, proceed with the adjacentpanel, holding it in place to test for proper alignment.Apply the adhesive as you did with the first panel andthen allow it to set before applying pressure. Once thepanel is in place, seal the edges of both panels with a sil-icone caulk for a finished look and to prevent waterseepage. Install the plumbing fixtures and step back andadmire your work.
Let the tub surround sit for at least 24 hours to allowthe adhesive and caulk to set. For extra bonding strength,use 2x4s to brace the panels in place.
With just a little time and patience, you can install atub surround and have an attractive, functional tub andshower area for years to come.

HOCUS - FOCUS A chicken in every potBy Angela Shelf Medearis
With the political season under way,with all of its political promises, I'mreminded of a famous old political slogan,about "a chicken in every pot." While thequote is often attributed to PresidentHerbert Hoover, its origin is thought to befrom King Henry IV of France.
In the 17th century, he reportedly saidthat, "I want there to be no peasant in mykingdom so poor that he is unable to havea chicken in his pot every Sunday."
While modern-day promises havechanged somewhat, it's still a wonderfulthing to come home to a pot full of flavor-ful chicken. If you're the one responsiblefor the cooking, that could be a problem -unless you use a slow cooker to make thatmeal.
Slow cookers use a low temperature tocook foods and retain moisture. They gen-erally operate at 170 F to 280 F. Thismight seem too low to be safe, but in fact,the slow cooker's direct heat on the food,long cooking time and the steam producedinside a tightly covered container makesthe process safe. The combination killsharmful bacteria that can cause illness. Italso helps less expensive, leaner cuts ofmeat become tender and shrink less,according to the Food Safety andInspection Service.
My recipe for Sweet and Sour Slow-Cooker Chicken contains easy conven-ience ingredients and is a complete anddelicious meal in a pot ... and that's apromise!
1. In 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker, com-bine chicken and soy sauce; mix to coatevenly. Add the stir-fry vegetables andreserved pineapple juice. Stir to combine.Cover; cook on low setting for 4 to 5hours.
2. In small bowl, combine sweet-and-sour sauce, cornstarch and gingerroot orpowdered ginger; and stir until well-blend-ed. Stir into chicken mixture. Add pineap-ple chunks; stir gently to mix.
3. Increase heat setting to high; coverand cook an additional 20 to 25 minutes.Serve over chow mein noodles and sprin-kle with the green onions. Makes 6 serv-ings.

Italian Vegetable RelishZucchini happens to be one of those
vegetables that gets far too little respect. Ithink it might be because its vines are soproficient. No matter how good some-thing is, when it's overabundant, it some-how is taken for granted. Try this ultra-easy relish, and others just might ask you,"Where in the world did you come upwith this great recipe?"
1 1/2 cups finely chopped unpeeled
zucchini

Savings key todebt-free livingBy David Uffington
The surprising results of a recent sur-vey indicate that more consumers are opt-ing to pay off debt rather than save money.An online survey by the NationalFoundation for Credit Counseling showedthat 89 percent of respondents believe thatright now it's more important to pay offdebt than to save.
It wasn't always that way. Back in1959, when such figures were first kept,consumers were averaging savings at arate of 8.3 percent of income. At thispoint, the rate of saving is only at 5 per-cent of income, which is up from 1 percenta few years ago.
Gail Cunningham, with the NFCC, isquoted in the organization's latest newslet-ter as saying, “In bad times, people saveout of a fear of tomorrow, and in goodtimes they spend as if there were notomorrow.” We're not at either point rightnow, not saving out of fear nor spendingeverything we have. Consumers are pay-ing off debt, but they aren't saving themoney that's no longer going toward thosemonthly payments when a debt is paid off.
The problem with paying off debt tothe exclusion of saving becomes apparentwhen an emergency strikes and ready cashis needed. Not having money saved canput consumers in the expensive position ofneeding to take credit-card cash advances -- if they can get them.
The availability of those cash advanceshas provided a cushion when times arelean. However, because of job loss, low-ered incomes and more scrutiny of creditworthiness, fewer people have that credit-card cushion during an emergency.
Savings needs to become the newsource of cash availability. If for no otherreason, money that is saved will earn inter-est (although nowadays the percentage rateis pitiful), and it won't cost you the interestthat a credit card will.
Yes, pay off those debts, concentratingon the one with the highest interest ratefirst. But as soon as you pay one off, putthat money into savings every month.Begin building a fund that will cover yourfuture plans and emergencies.
Your goal should be not only to bedebt-free, but to have savings.

Strange, but trueBy Samantha Weaver
It was noted American wit GrouchoMarx who made the following sage obser-vation: "There's one way to find out if aman is honest -- ask him. If he says 'Yes,'you know he is a crook."
When the city of Los Angeles wasfounded, it was given the name "El Pueblode Nuestra Senora de los Angeles dePorciuncula," which translates to "TheTown of Our Lady of the Angels ofPorciuncula." Back then, in 1781, therewere just 52 settlers to start what is nowthe second most populous city in the coun-try.
When speaking of dead languages,Latin is the one that probably comes tomind most often. It's not quite dead,though; it's the official language of VaticanCity.
Those who keep track of such thingssay that a professional ballet dancer goesthrough about 130 pairs of toe shoes in asingle year.
The yo-yo became popular in theUnited States after it was marketed byDonald F. Duncan Sr., a businessman fromChicago, but he didn't invent the toy. In1928, Duncan was on a business trip toSan Francisco when he saw Philippineimmigrant Pedro Flores, who had gottenfinancing to manufacture the yo-yos andhad trademarked the name, demonstratinghow to use the toy. Duncan realized thatthe toy had the potential to be a huge suc-cess, so he paid Flores $5,000 for all therights. Incidentally, the name "yo-yo"
means "come-come" in the native lan-guage of the Philippines.
