Editor's Note: Mr. Rand wrote this reflection prior to the postponement — due to Hurricane Irene — of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial dedication, originally scheduled for Aug. 28, 2011.
"Take the first step in faith," Martin Luther King Jr. told us. "You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."
Inspired by his eloquence and his moral courage, ordinary Americans took the first step in faith, and then more and more steps up the staircase to justice and opportunity.
As our nation marks the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28 by dedicating a memorial to Dr. King on the National Mall, we at AARP understand that the journey to fulfill the promise of our country is far from over. We can see the whole staircase, but we have yet to get to the top.
As a proud donor to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, we recall Dr. King's soul-stirring call to see, affirm, and uphold the worth and dignity of every person. If you go to AARP's Black Community Page, you will see a video that shows the effects of his legacy, as well as read the reflections of a diverse group of Americans about what Dr. King meant to them.
We take his message to heart every day at AARP and we apply the lessons from Dr. King's words to our lives. He taught the path to justice requires not only overcoming prejudice but also overcoming poverty. In the last stages of a life cut tragically short, Dr. King led a farsighted struggle for economic opportunity.
Like his earlier leadership against legally enshrined discrimination, this was terribly difficult work, but Dr. King always put conscience over convenience. Today, at a time of high unemployment and widespread economic pain in our country, his example can once more light the way for us. Let's not forget the event 48 years ago was called a "march for jobs and freedom."

What's the point of novels?
All of us would agree that reading for facts and knowledge widens our perspective, but what does reading novels do?
Do we read novels for the sole purpose of entertaining ourselves or does it make us intelligent in some way?
How can one take lessons from a story that was made up and characters that do not exist?
Is reading novels just a waste of time? a sort of video game for those who like to read?

Tim BradleyMay 13 2013: Novels are a great way to educate kids through the context of a story, one way we humans learn effectively.
Reading for entertainment is also a great way to strengthen the creative and imaginative parts of the brain--written stories require participation of the reader to envision the characters based on purely written information. Plus, it's fun.

Sparta, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Kyle Busch's winning streak in the Camping World Truck Series continued on Thursday night after he put on a dominating performance in the UNOH 225 at Kentucky Speedway.
Busch, the driver/owner of the No. 51 Toyota and a regular in the Sprint Cup Series, claimed the pole position earlier in the day and then led 91 of 150 laps around this 1.5-mile racetrack for his sixth consecutive win in his last six starts in the series. His streak began with a victory in the 2013 season- finale at Homestead and then has scored five wins in five starts this season -- Daytona, Kansas, Charlotte, Dover and Kentucky.
"Tonight was great, and it's just a great opportunity to drive good equipment and good stuff," Busch said. "I'm really proud that my name is on the door, but I'm mostly proud of [crew chief] Eric Phillips and everyone at Kyle Busch Motorsports, with all of their hard work and dedication. They've built really good trucks, and they've done a great job for me."
Busch led the first lap, but his teammate, Darrell Wallace Jr., passed him for the position on the second lap. Wallace ran in front for 34 circuits before Busch reclaimed it.
During a caution just past the halfway point in this 150-lap race, Busch pitted for a four-tire change while Brad Keselowski and several others stayed on the track. Keselowski, who is also a Sprint Cup regular, led until lap 96 when Busch pulled ahead of him. He held the top spot for the remaining 55 laps.
The final caution for debris set up an eight-lap shootout to the finish. Wallace challenged Busch for the lead following the restart, but Busch pulled away and crossed the finish line 1.8 seconds ahead of Wallace. It was the first time KBM finished 1-2 in a truck race.
"I'm proud to see the first KBM 1-2. That's really cool for me as an owner and [wife] Samantha," Busch added.
Busch has now posted 40 victories in 120 career truck starts, giving him a winning a percentage of 33 percent. It's the second time he's won a race in the series at Kentucky. His first victory here came in 2011.
Wallace won the most recent truck race on June 14 at Gateway Motorsports Park. KBM has six victories in eight truck races this season and nine over the last 12 events.
"He's so cool to work with," Wallace said of Busch, his teammate and truck owner. "He's hard to beat, and he's so good. I wouldn't want to be with anyone other than Kyle Busch Motorsports."
Busch's win at Kentucky gave Toyota its 10th victory in a row, a streak dating back to Erik Jones' win at Phoenix in November 2013. Jones drove the No. 51 truck for KBM in that race. It's the longest active winning streak by any manufacturer in the series.
Ryan Blaney finished third, while Timothy Peters was fourth and Keselowski fifth. Keselowski bounced back from a pit-road mishap late in the race when he had a wrench still attached to his truck after leaving his stall, forcing him to pit again and dropping him to 13th in the running order.
Matt Crafton, the defending series champion, placed sixth, followed by Austin Dillon, Ron Hornaday Jr., Johnny Sauter, the current points leader, and rookie Ben Kennedy.
Sauter holds an eight-point advantage over second-place and ThorSport Racing teammate Crafton. Peters is 11 points behind, while Blaney trails by 12 and Hornaday 13.

Kresta said he did not feel sad. "The message came through clearly. "At that moment, I did not grieve for my lost leg, because in comparison to my life, it was not so important."
He determined that he would use his time of suffering. "I did not want to forget why I was there. I wanted my personal life in order, to become more like Christ and receive sanctity, and in that way the work, the ministry would flow from that." Kresta attributes all the prayers and support with lifting him up. "Those prayers gave me more courage to trust that God was really at work. For months afterwards, I still had the feeling of unity, being a part of the mystical body of Christ."

BISMARCK, ND (Catholic Online) - Today, Catholic radio operates in over 200 markets in the U.S. in addition to the Internet and Sirius Radio. But fifteen years ago, the Catholic airwaves were much quieter until a revolution of sorts began in Ann Arbor, MI. It is the home to the University of Michigan, a city identified as a seedbed of learning.
When the signal was turned on for Ave Maria Radio at 1290 AM, WDEO ("DEO" is Latin for God) a new kind of learning began-the Catholic faith on the airwaves. There had been glimpses of Catholic radio through a music station and rented "Catholic Hours" on secular and Christian stations, but this was to be a fully-programmed Catholic station.
In 1996, Mother Angelica, foundress of EWTN Global Network, the world's largest religious broadcasting enterprise, offered free programing to any Catholic radio station. It was a mission appeal, for radio was either secular or Protestant Christian then. Tom Monaghan, Domino's Pizza founder and former owner of the Detroit Tigers, accepted the offer. He leased 1290 AM in Ann Arbor and hired Al Kresta, a former pastor and recent convert to the faith to run the station and the first Catholic radio ministry in the U.S. was born.
"My wife Sally and I had been praying for direction for two years," Kresta explained. "We were living in Detroit when Tom offered me the job to become a media missionary and move to Ann Arbor." The Krestas moved to Detroit with their five children; one more would be born in Ann Arbor. When he left Detroit in April of 1997, Kresta thought he was moving to a smaller market, never suspecting that one day, Ave Maria Radio would have a world-reach with syndicated programs picked up by the very network that launched them.
The station was so small at that time that it actually did not physically exist. "I learned that there was no studio. There was nothing but a computer and a leased signal," Kresta recalled. By August, however, a studio had been built. And in spite of growing pains, Kresta said he and Sally never doubted his decision to work for Ave Maria Communications - a station named in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Success and Suffering
Four years into the operation, the station seemed to be prospering spiritually and the first pledge drive was a success. Kresta had just reported on the extraordinary support that had from over 1,200 pledges. The atmosphere at the station was euphoric. It was then that Monaghan, a devout Catholic, issued a warning. "Well, if we're doing what we're supposed to be doing, the devil won't take it lying down," Monaghan said. "You'd better be ready for spiritual combat."
According to Kresta, Monaghan's words were prophetic. In February of 2003, Kresta blamed overwork and not taking better care of himself for getting run down. He stayed home from work and had a priest friend bring him Holy Communion. Again, there seemed to be a premonition here. He said to his friend, "I don't know what's going on, but I feel like I have spiritual log jam and Our Lord is going to have to do something and I'm afraid it's going to be painful."
That following Monday, he was rushed to St. Joseph Mercy hospital and unable to walk. Pain from his lower back shot through to his left leg. His blood pressure dropped so low, he could not take any pain medication for hours until it was brought back up. A flesh-eating bacteria was attacking Kresta's leg. Antibiotics seemed unable to stop it. The only hope was emergency.
Fr. John Riccardo visited Kresta on the day of his surgery. "He asked me to offer up my sufferings for the sake of the Church and the openness of all men and women to hear the Gospel."
Coming out of a 5-day induced coma to aid in his recovery, Kresta made a sound through his breathing tube in his throat to get his 12-year old son's James' attention. James ran to the waiting room to get his older sister, Alexis, then 21, who immediately went to Kresta's bedside.
"Did they save my leg?," he asked.
"Well, what did the doctor say to you before surgery?"
"He said I could lose my life or I could lose my leg."
"Dad, they took your leg."
Kresta said he did not feel sad. "The message came through clearly. "At that moment, I did not grieve for my lost leg, because in comparison to my life, it was not so important."
He determined that he would use his time of suffering. "I did not want to forget why I was there. I wanted my personal life in order, to become more like Christ and receive sanctity, and in that way the work, the ministry would flow from that."
Not Alone
Kresta did not suffer alone. During this time, his wife also became hospitalized with cellulitis on the same leg. It was a completely different disease but also very serious. Amputation had been considered. "We have such a symbiotic relationship." Kresta said. "Members of Christ's body are united and we bear each others burdens in spiritual ways. Sally and I believe that God was doing something in us together. I don't have a golden telegram telling me that, but it's what I feel."
At this time, Detroit news reporter and veteran, Teresa Tomeo, had recently left secular media to join the catholic market after a reversion to her Catholic faith. She started to work for Ave Maria Radio just two months before Kresta's illness. Tomeo and Kresta had previously worked together at an evangelical Christian station, so she was looking forward to working with him at a Catholic station. "I got a call from Al's friend, Steve Ray, who had taken him to the hospital. He told me that I had to take over for Al at work because he was very sick and might not live."
Teresa's previous twenty years of broadcasting in Detroit's radio and television market, gave her the confidence to handle doing two shows while he was recovering. "We had a skeleton staff and were used to doing a lot with a little, so I just put it into auto-pilot." She took over for Kresta's talk show while still doing her own program.
"It was amazing to see the outpouring of support, for Al," Tomeo said. "He had been involved in the prolife movement, owned a bookstore, he had worked at an evangelical radio station and had been a pastor, and was now in Catholic radio, so he was well known throughout Michigan." She said that people of all denominations were prayed for him, sent cards and offered to do anything they could to help the family.
Kresta attributes all the prayers and support with lifting him up. "Those prayers gave me more courage to trust that God was really at work. For months afterwards, I still had the feeling of unity, being a part of the mystical body of Christ."
"And God was using everything for good, as it says in Scripture," Tomeo added. "At a time we were trying to get the word out about Ave Maria Radio, Al's disease brought in all kinds of attention even from the national media with the flesh-eating bacteria aspect." She said that even a year later, with follow up stories, Kresta had a chance to talk about Ave Maria Radio and about how his Catholic faith helped him make sense out of suffering.
A few years later, Nick Thomm, executive producer of "Kresta in the Afternoon," discovered he had a brain tumor. A biopsy determined the slow growing tumor was not cancerous, but it had to be removed and treated with radiation. A year later, it started to grow again and was treated with chemotherapy and radiation. Thomm attributed his friend and mentor with providing an example that helped him to stay positive. "Al had said that instead of asking 'Why me?' he had asked, 'Why not me?' Given the support, good medical care, loving parish, family, friends and community, he had decided that he was as equipped as anyone to handle it."
Kresta explained that although there has been suffering among families at Ave Maria, there is an understanding that suffering comes to everyone. "We accept it and we pray for each other," he said. "When the suffering comes, we use it to offer up for our ministry. It is easier to endure when it has a purpose."
Prayers are the backbone of Ave Maria and their evangelization projects. The staff prays for each other and their listeners. The chapel on site holds 4 daily Masses open to both staff and the community. Two convents of nuns, The Dominican Sister's of Mary Mother of the Eucharist and the Servants of God's Love, pray for the station and for all prayer requests. People can email or call the station to add their intentions.
Suffering has been at the center of the evangelization effort at Ave Maria. It is not an accident that they named the station after the Blessed Mother, the one who endured tremendous suffering at the foot of the cross. The Ave Maria Radio team has united with Our Lady at the foot of the cross over these past 15 years. This anniversary milestone is their "resurrection moment" - celebrating 15 years that God has allowed them to "proclaim the Gospel to all the nations."
Resurrection Celebration
Ave Maria Radio, the world's largest producer of original English language Catholic radio programming, is celebrating its 15th year of spreading the gospel, despite early challenges. They produce over twenty different titles, including three live programs that air weekdays-Kresta in the Afternoon with Al Kresta, Catholic Connection with Teresa Tomeo, and The Doctor is In with Dr. Ray Guarendi and Coleen Kelly Mast-that are all heard over the EWTN global Catholic radio network's nearly 200 stations, as well as EWTN's Sirius satellite radio channel, streaming audio on the Internet, and iPhone and Android apps.
Over the past 15 years, Ave Maria has not only been involved in evangelization efforts on the radio but has initiated other projects such as their recent "Stop HHS" campaign. When the HHS Mandate was passed earlier this year, Ave Maria led an effort in the country by starting an educational web site www.StopHHS.com and petition drive, which has collected over 100,000 signatures. The site brings awareness and the latest news about the mandates attack on our religious freedom. Kresta is the official spokesperson for the Stop HSS and is passionate to let others know how important this is not only for us as Catholics but for all peoples of all religions in our nation. "We want to help ensure our freedom continues here in America," said Kresta. We need to pray - our nation is at a crossroads."
To celebrate 15 years on the air, Ave Maria Catholic Radio is hosting a concert featuring country music superstar, Collin Raye, and Nashville recording artist along with Franciscan University of Steubenville alumni, Andrea Thomas, at Hill Auditorium on the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor, MI, Saturday, August 25th at 7:30 pm. Doors to the celebration concert open at 6:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $18, $28, $36, and $46. Go to www.MUTOtix.com or call 734-763-TKTS (8587) for tickets and information or visit Ave Maria Radio's 15th Anniversary web site at www.Ave15.com.

Info for Chefs & Restaurants
COMPARE COMMON CULINARY OILS: One dietary message
for consumers has not changed in a decade: eat less fat. This advice
aims to help millions of North Americans reduce their risk of overweight,
obesity and diabetes. In recent years, a new message about fat has emerged
- the type of fat in the diet is also important. Canola oil is the best
blend of fats for good health.
Fats are made of smaller units called fatty acids. Canola oil is low in saturated fatty acids. In fact, it is lower in saturated fat than any vegetable oil found in supermarkets today.
With dozens of different cooking oils on store shelves, choosing the
right one for each culinary application can be confusing and intimidating.
Here's what to keep in mind...
1. Functionality: For high heat applications
such as sauteing, grilling, wok cooking and deep fat frying,
choose oil with a high smoke point. Canola oil and peanut oil have smoke
points of 396-414°F. Extra virgin olive oil, on the other hand,
may burn if heated above 325°F, and flaxseed oil should not be exposed
to heat at all.
2. Flavor: If you want oil to contribute flavor
to the dish, you may want to try sesame, walnut, or extra virgin olive
oils. If you don't want the ingredients in your recipe to be overshadowed,
choose a mild tasting oil such as canola oil.
3. Versatility and Affordability: Canola oil will meet many needs in the
kitchen but two or three different oils are useful to have on hand.
Choose canola oil for high heat cooking, vinaigrettes and baking. Look
to extra virgin olive oil for oil dips and vinaigrettes, and sesame
oil for Asian dishes.
4. Nutritional Value: All oils contain the
same number of calories but they deliver very different levels of nutrition.
Check out the chart to compare the fatty acid profiles of popular culinary
oils. You'll see that canola oil is the most nutritionally balanced
oil - lowest in saturated fats, high in heart-healthy monounsaturated
fats, and second only to flaxseed oil in alpha-linolenic (ALA) omega-3
Storing Information:
Store it Right! It's important to store canola oil in a cool, dark cupboard for maximum freshness and use. It can last up to a year under these conditions. If in doubt, use your snout; sniff the oil. A rancid or "off" smell means that the oil has oxidized and should be discarded.
CanolaInfo Cooks! Videos
The CanolaInfo Cooks! video series follows fictional
culinary student Dean as he uncovers the secret to great, versatile
cooking - canola oil. Follow him through six adventures, each beginning

his secret ingredient in the kitchen. And what do you know Dean really
can cook!
Debbie: Debbie is the competition, and Dean
knows it. They are constantly jockeying for top position and outdoing
each other. But Debbie doesn't know what Dean has up his sleeve. While
she becomes distracted, he reaches for the secret ingredient and comes
up with some winning recipes. The interview she secured at a 5-star
restaurant may be in jeopardy...
Canola Oil: Canola oil is any great chef's
secret ingredient. Brian, Phyllis and Mary-Jane know it's the real deal
versatile, light and healthy. As they show Dean, canola oil is great for
vinaigrettes, sauteing, baking, deep frying, flavored oils, marinades

Magic 8-Ball
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2013)
|Magic 8 Ball
|Novelty toy
|Albert Carter/Abe Bookman
|Alabe Crafts Company
Blue dye
|Official website
The Magic 8 Ball is a toy used for fortune-telling or seeking advice, manufactured by Mattel and developed in the 1950s. It is often used in fiction, often for humor related to it giving very accurate, very inaccurate, or otherwise statistically improbable answers.
An 8-ball was used as a fortune telling device in the 1940 Three Stooges short, You Nazty Spy, in which it was referred to as a "magic ball". While Magic 8 Ball didn't exist in its current form until 1950, the functional component was invented by Albert C. Carter, who was inspired by a spirit writing device that was used by his mother, Mary, a Cincinnati clairvoyant. When store owner Max Levinson was approached by Carter about stocking the device, he called in his brother-in-law Abe Bookman, a graduate of Ohio Mechanics Institute. In 1944, Carter filed for a patent for his device, assigning it to Bookman, Levinson, and another partner in what came to be Alabe Crafts, Inc. (Albert and Abe) in 1946. Under the Alabe name, they marketed and sold the device as The Syco-Seer. Carter died sometime before the patent was granted in 1948. Bookman soon made improvements to the Syco-Seer and in 1948, it was encased in an iridescent crystal ball. Though unsuccessful, the revamped product caught the attention of Chicago's Brunswick Billiards. In 1950 they commissioned Alabe Crafts to make a version in the form of a traditional black and white 8-ball.[1]
The Magic 8 Ball is a hollow plastic sphere resembling an oversized, black and white 8-ball. Inside is a cylindrical reservoir containing a white, plastic, icosahedral die floating in alcohol with dissolved dark blue dye. Each of the 20 faces of the die has an affirmative, negative, or non-committal statement printed on it in raised letters. There is a transparent window on the bottom of the Magic 8 Ball through which these messages can be read.
To use the ball, it must be held with the window initially facing down. After "asking the ball" a yes-no question, the user then turns the ball so that the window faces him, setting in motion the liquid and die inside. When the die floats to the top and one of its faces is pressed against the window, the raised letters displace the blue liquid to reveal the message as white letters on a blue background. Although many users shake the ball before turning it upright, the instructions warn against doing so because it can lead to bubbles. Unfortunately, over time the fluid tends to leak into the die such that eventually, it will no longer float to the top to display an answer.
Possible answers[edit]
The 20 answers inside a Magic 8 Ball are:
- ● It is certain
- ● It is decidedly so
- ● Without a doubt
- ● Yes definitely
- ● You may rely on it
- ● As I see it, yes
- ● Most likely
- ● Outlook good
- ● Yes
- ● Signs point to yes
- ● Reply hazy try again
- ● Ask again later
- ● Better not tell you now
- ● Cannot predict now
- ● Concentrate and ask again
- ● Don't count on it
- ● My reply is no
- ● My sources say no
- ● Outlook not so good
- ● Very doubtful
Ten of the possible answers are Positive(●), five are Negative (●), and five are Neutral(●).
In popular culture[edit]
- Woody uses one in Toy Story to try to determine whether Andy will choose him or Buzz to take with him to Pizza Planet. It gives the answer "Don't count on it". It also appears in both sequels.
- Ross, in Friends, tries to use one to make a decision about his love life, but it displays "Ask again later" repeatedly.
- In Harry Turtledove's The Valley-Westside War, an alternate history science fiction novel, it is strongly implied that people in this world believe that the toys give accurate answers, and consult them about important decisions.
- In The Simpsons, Bart Simpson is told that he will fail his English test by one of these.
- In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck, Greg uses the Magic 8 Ball to obtain answers and advice about questions such as the location of his grandmother's lost ring.
- In Survivor: The Amazon, contestant Rob Cesternino has a Magic 8 Ball as his luxury item.
- In the Spin City episode Uneasy Rider, the office staff use Paul's Magic 8 Ball to make simple decisions.
- In the film adaptation of Inspector Gadget, one is seen on Brenda Bradford's desk.
- In Ghost Rider, Roxanne Simpson uses one while waiting for Johnny Blaze to show up for a dinner date.
- In Homestuck, Vriska Serket uses a Magic 8-Ball fetch modus.
- In Rocko's Modern Life, Ed Bighead uses a Magic "Meatball" to answer executive questions, but ends up breaking it.

Hi, my name is Leanne and I'm in New Zealand. I came across this forum while trying to do some research about preeclampsia to gain more understanding of what has happened to me. 2 weeks ago I gave birth to my beautiful wee boy Jonathan after being induced. I knew he was dead and this made the whole experience that much worse. Now that it is all over I am trying to come to terms with the fact that i had all the signs of PE but neither my doctor nor my midwife picked up on it. I am so angry that it could have all been prevented. This is the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I miss my boy so much.

If we were to build a new society from scratch, how can we find the best designs to do so - and what are they?
- Open source information/collaboration technology
- Green tech designs with little to zero ecological footprints
- Scientifically optimised products for sustainable solutions
- Internet, robots, augmented reality, microorganisms, etc.
- Massive reductions in excessive consumption
- Well earned headroom to conduct desirable human affair
As a species with such vast technological insight, we have the opportunity to appreciate our planet, our conception, our consciousness and extraordinary cognitive abilities.
I'm not talking about being lifeless machines. Let's rejoice and laugh about our errors and mistakes. And for those with a biological disposition to worship, why not worship the sun, the planet, the body and the mind? In essence it is about better allowing ourselves to be human by improving society, with every colourful palette and diversity that may imply.
And here comes the real question:
Who are the thinkers and doers with brilliant ideas? How do we collectively extract their most important lessons, and how do we collectively puzzle them together to create the blueprint for a new society? How do we put the blueprint into practise without being regulated, taxed or sabotaged by preexisting governments?

James Kindler 20+Dec 28 2011: What you are speaking of is an intentional community. I am part of one and everyone in the community figures things out by concensus and we all get along. We have been living together for 74 days and so far so good. We are all different with different opinions but we find common ground and run with it. Nobody is in charge or leads we dicide everything as a group.
Jan 21 2012: Tor, I believe these self-reliant, mutually-dependent coagulations of people figuring out how to live are popping up all over the place. The thing is, it's all quite a messy process and for the dozen that vanished yesterday, two dozen appear today. So trying to capture this general evolution in adopting the modes of operation you specify will be quite a challenge. There is the virtual canvas like this, then there is the agricultural canvas, the urban canvas, the political canvas--systemically, we are undergoing an overhaul of every corner of our lives by people with vision. It's just simply not a single narrative and certainly not a linear one. Nevertheless, it is breath-taking to watch renaissance in the midst of colossal decay.

Save & Splurge: 5 Places to Put Your Money in a Kitchen Renovation
It's difficult to make sweeping generalizations about kitchen renovations and builds (other than the old "add 50% to the initial estimate!" rule — always a good idea!). Every kitchen is different, just as every cook has a slightly different set of desires and priorities. However, as I've researched and shopped for my own kitchen, which is being built from the ground up, I've made some trade-offs in costs and priority that, so far, seem worth it to me. Here are five of my own save/splurge decisions for a new kitchen.
Save: Lighting
Splurge: Windows
No matter what, lighting in a kitchen is very important. I would love to have some spendy modern pendants over the island and the dining table (why oh why do my tastes run to the Champagne in this area??) but it's not in the budget.
I chose instead to put money into high-quality awning windows with good hardware. There are full-length sidelights next to a sliding door, and more windows in the dining area. The cost of windows adds up, but this is the time to put them in. Other lighting is less important, and inexpensive pendants from IKEA can be easily replaced down the road.
Save: Faucet
Splurge: Sink
I predict this will be a controversial choice! The faucet is, after all, the most-frequently-used fixture in your kitchen. But as I have researched and shopped, I have found that some great faucets can be found from brands such as Grohe and Kohler, and they are often on sale at Amazon and Wayfair. You can get quite decent faucets for under $200.
Sinks, on the other hand, often cost more, and they are much more difficult to replace down the road. I am looking for a good although modestly-priced faucet, but I am buying the sink that I want.
Save: Oven
Splurge: Stove
Kitchen designer Susan Serra told me that the oven is the least-used appliance in most people's kitchens. Some folks don't even need an oven at all, especially with the advent of convection microwaves. Unless you're a frequent baker, prioritize your stove over your oven.
And, in my opinion, the stove doesn't need to be a high-powered faux-restaurant monster to be a good buy. I'm going for a more modestly-priced Bertazzoni rangetop, which is a fraction of the price of a BlueStar or Viking (although still the most expensive appliance in the kitchen). My oven is a used model (still in warranty!) that I found on Craigslist.
Save: Cabinets
Splurge: Cabinet doors and hardware
Cabinets are an interesting thing. On the one hand, they seem important. You want them to last a long time and wear well. But they are fixed to the floor, and are protected by the doors and surrounding appliances. Cabinet bases actually come in for less wear and tear than your sofa or dresser. I simply could not justify spending $30,000 for handmade wood-frame cabinets, and more importantly, it didn't seem necessary. I'm going for good old IKEA frames, which are perfectly solid and very customizable, with all the drawers I desire. But I am also getting...
... Custom doors. This is where a smart small splurge can make your kitchen look truly custom. I am ordering doors from Semihandmade, a company in California that makes doors for IKEA cabinets. Henrybuilt, for a fraction of the price. That's the idea, at least.
Save: Tile and backsplash
Splurge: Countertop
It's amazing how tile can add up, especially if you want to branch out beyond the ubiquitous subway tile. And if you want to take it all the way up to the ceiling — watch out! Tile creep, both in size of the installation and price of the tile itself, can add up fast. So think outside of the box for backsplashes. What about plexiglass or glass (maybe with bright fabric behind it)? Or a sheet of stainless steel?
I'm mostly forgoing a backsplash along my back wall, with the exception of a marble 4-inch rise. I know that I can easily add a more extensive backsplash later, if it seems necessary. For now, I want to put my money into my countertops. Nothing is quite as visible in your kitchen as your countertops and they are the primary surface you work on and clean every day. I knew I wanted stone, instead of the more economical laminate or butcher block surfaces. So that's where I'm putting the cash.
What about you? Did you save and splurge along these same lines? Or something else? Like I said, everyone has their own priorities, and there are always reasons to allocate money differently in different projects. Did you find smart ways to save and splurge in your own renovation or new kitchen build? I'd love to hear your tips!

That's a great idea to get stock cabinets and custom doors. Filing that tip away for the future. Thanks!
I would add a subnote to the splurge for the stove-- splurge on the exhaust! It's one of the most helpful but underrated kitchen tools because it keeps your house from smelling like food all the time. It's rare to find exhaust (besides the ones that just recycle air) in NYC, where I live, but it's a must for someone who cooks frequently!
I would disagree about the oven - it's probably the most used appliance in my kitchen. I splurged on a Smeg oven, have had it over 10 years, and it's indispensable when I want to roast a few chickens or legs of lamb, or a whole big fish if I'm cooking for a crowd. The stove is much less important, I wouldn't even mind cooking on an electric one. Agree about getting the biggest, deepest sink you can afford. We also splurged on marble counters, which I regret - beautiful, but not practical.
"the oven is the least-used appliance in most people's kitchens"
*Insert Sheila Broflovski "What, What, WHAT?!"*
I love my oven because I bake regularly but I also roast chickens, pork and use my broiler in a year more than many do in a lifetime.
I've always had combination stove/ovens but that's because I'm not rich enough to have the nice dual wall ovens that I'd love to have.
I would be extremely wary of buying inexpensive, above-the-counter cabinets. A builder gutted our kitchen (before we bought our house) and used inexpensive, stock cabinets. They started pulling away from the wall within 2 years.
You definitely get what you pay for - it is worthwhile to buy the best quality cabinet innards you can find. You can always change out doors and handles later.
As a veteran of several kitchen gut-renovations (and, by extension, MANY more kitchen renovations done by my mother, a serial renovator herself and owner of 14 rental units) I agree wholeheartedly with your save/splurge advice. Particularly about the cabinets. My mother and I have both used IKEA cabinet carcasses multiple times and have nothing but praise for their sturdiness and affordability.
ps. if your cabinets pulled away from the wall, that's an installation fail, not a cabinet fail.
The Bertazzoni stoves look great, but if possible, choose one that has lightweight, smaller pan supports - ones that fit in the dishwasher, ideally. The heavy duty cast iron ones make sense in a pro kitchen, but in a domestic setting there is less slamming down of pans in haste. Cast iron supports are unwieldy, weigh a ton, and are no fun to clean, even if you have a pro-sized sink!
To me, the taste of food microwaved is inferior to that cooked on a stove or in an oven. I'm with the others regarding spending the $ on a quality oven. My microwave is in a closet in my pantry on a dedicated circuit. Where it sits, largely unused, save to melt butter when I am in a hurry. Popcorn? STOVE.
I agree on the microwave -- wish I could find one with minimal functions. I don't need a special key for hot dogs or popcorn or baked potatoes! Nor do I need it to be particularly high-powered. We have one that is over the stove, and it needs to be replaced -- with little counter space and no pantry, over the stove seems to be the best spot for it. I would pay $$$ for a unit that has a better fan and "worse" microwave. We use it all the time, but only for reheating plates of food, never for cooking.
And yeah, popcorn made on the stove is much better and not really any more trouble.
I have to disagree about the stove and oven. I've cooked on plenty of cheap stove tops, and they all do the job just fine. I honestly don't see much difference between the performance of a basic gas stove and a fancy one. But an oven that doesn't heat evenly or accurately can be a nightmare to use.
I guess maybe some people don't use their ovens much, but I use my oven a lot and I think it's the one thing I would splurge on.
Having interned at Real Life Kitchens & Baths magazine for over two years, I think your list is fantastic. You really seem to have your priorities straight for you, and that parlays into goo advice for other homeowners (though your advice on how it's different for everyone is also applicable). The magazine was all about helping people redo their kitchens (and baths) in a budget-friendly way without it looking like a "budget" kitchen, and all of your points are spot-on to what we often advocated to our readers, as well as what we found out from other homeowners who did similar upgrades!
If I had to pick one that stands out, then it's cabinets. Totally agree with @AmyFaith, if the cabinets are pulling away that's an installation issue. One of the best ways you can save is by using builder-grade cabinets and customizing them, whether it be through custom doors like you or through paint or whatever. Great list!
Good* advice for homeowners. Haha goo. You can tell how much copy editors love me.
A couple of days ago there was a similar AT post on bathrooms....where it said one of the two things you should splurge on is a faucet. Now I should be saving on that faucet. Gah!
@Leah M but bathrooms and kitchens are different in this respect, IMO. I'm redoing two bathrooms right now too, and you only need a small, shallow, inexpensive sink in most bathrooms. The kitchen sink is much more of a workhorse. So in the bathroom I focus my $$ more on the faucet. In the kitchen, I focus more on the sink.
Great article! I found it very informative.
I actually use my oven nightly since I prefer my vegetables roasted. I roast eggplant, peppers, potatoes, and even green beans.

SAN FRANCISCO If the Giants prolong the postseason that could have died a couple of times now, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals tonight and earning a chance to throw one past the Detroit Tigers, the chatter about their starting pitching will be never-ending.
Whose is the most compelling story? The maligned Barry Zito, who pitched the game of his life Friday? The unheralded and emerging Ryan Vogelsong, who pitched the game of his life (or the second-best game of his life) two nights later? Or will it be Matt Cain, who experienced perfection one night not so very long ago, and who only needs to be nearly perfect in Game 7 tonight?
This isn't 2010, when Tim Lincecum was lights out, but there is something increasingly electric about 2012. First Zito, and now Vogelsong, and so much for Vogelsong being a rookie at this postseason stuff.
He is making it look easy. He is mixing fastballs and cutters, surprising with curveballs and changeups. He is pitching like an ace, not a 35-year-old journeyman who couldn't make the Giants' roster two years ago. He stalked off the mound Sunday after seven innings, acting as if he owned the place, as if he has been doing this for years.
"Nobody wants to be the guy that doesn't get it done," Vogelsong said afterward. "I didn't want to let these guys down. I didn't want to let the city down. To come through tonight and get us to tomorrow feels good."
Thirty-five years old. Saving the Giants from elimination this postseason not once but twice, and pitching terrific in all three starts. These are the type of freaky performances once expected from "The Freak," not a guy who spent much of his career in the minor leagues. If it seems almost too good to be true, well, it's taking Vogelsong a little while to adjust as well.
For almost 45 minutes late Sunday evening, after the Game 6 victory had been claimed and that seventh game secured, Vogelsong sat at his locker, sipping Gatorade, glancing at his cellphone and mostly staring into space. No one approached for a long time, not even his teammates and especially not his teammates, who have come to appreciate his intense personality and understand he needs room to breathe, undoubtedly after the most memorable performance of his career.
For seven innings and especially in that first inning, the rangy right-hander blew pitch after pitch past the Cardinals, establishing a pattern that persisted. His first 13 pitches were fastballs, including a 93-mph two-seamer that was so nasty, so beautifully placed on the lower inside portion of the plate, Vogelsong didn't even wait for umpire Jerry Layne to call a third strike. He began moving off the mound while Cardinals left fielder Allen Craig was still seemingly frozen at the plate, bat still on his shoulder.
"There was no plan going in," said Vogelsong, who didn't allow a hit until Daniel Descalso's broken-bat, two-out single in the fifth. "I just kind of saw the way our team reacted the other night when Barry came out and was throwing up zeroes saw how our team was feeding off that, and I knew that I had to go out there and keep them off the board early."
Except that it wasn't just the team; it was the entire building. And it wasn't just early; it was late, too. Vogelsong allowed four hits and one run, finally getting reached in the sixth when Carlos Beltran doubled and scored on Craig's single. He struck out a career-high nine, fanned five of the first six hitters and contributed to the Giants' early offensive flurry with a slow grounder that drove in the second run. He left to a standing ovation, serenaded with chants of "VO-gey, VO-gey, VO-gey."
He also left as only the second Giants pitcher in 100 years to allow one earned run or less in three straight postseason starts, joining Cain in 2010.
That was Cain, 2010. This is Vogelsong, 2012.
While the Giants were charging toward the 2010 postseason, Vogelsong was scratching out a living in the minor leagues, delighted just to have a job after a frenetic career path had included stops all over the globe, in Japan and Altoona and Indianapolis and Nashville and elsewhere. A 1998 draft choice of the Giants, he missed the 2002 season after Tommy John surgery and for years struggled with his concentration and his approach.
"He's learned how to fail, he's learned how to succeed," veteran reliever Jeremy Affeldt said, "and he's been preparing for this start for his entire life."

Taylor Swift is kinda known for her long blond curly locks that she loves whipping around on stage. Yesterday she posted a picture of herself on her Facebook page with short hair.
I think she looks more mature. What do you think of Taylor Swift's new haircut ?

A sign has been delivered to Richard Dameron so he can carry out his sentence Monday after threatening to kill popular Cleveland police officer Jim Simone.
Dameron was also sentenced to jail, but now that he's served his time he has to stand outside the 2nd District Police Station on Fulton with a sign apologizing for his threat.
The sentence was given by Judge Pinkey Carr. She ordered the punishment sign and her bailiff delivered it to Dameron Sunday.
"You will wear a sign which will read 'I apologize to officer Simone his family, all law enforcement officers,'" Judge Carr said at Dameron's sentencing back in March.
The sign also says, "I'm an idiot for calling 911 threatening to kill you."

I admit I've looked online to see if there are other people out there with the same name exact name as me (even my soon-to-be married name). And while there are only a few of them, they are out there. I've never thought we'd have anything else in common or we'd be insta-friends. Still, that doesn't it mean connections like that don't occur ... Consider how back in '08, a guy named Kelly Carl Hildebrandt and a girl named Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt found one another on Facebook and musta figured their shared name was a sign! They were so blinded by one another's amazing name that they fell head over heels for one another -- and got married! So crazy!
But three years later, they've decided to call it quits. Womp womp. Guess having the same name as your spouse isn't the key to wedded bliss!?
Kelly Carl, referred to as "the male Hildebrandt," told NBC 6 in Miami:
We gave it our best shot. She's a Florida girl, and I'm a Texas guy. We really did come from pretty different worlds.
Nothing in the article said they decided to get married because they have the same name, that is simply how they met. In my opinion, saying that trivializes the love they once shared. For shame! For shame, I say!

On HomeAway you can browse a large range of apartments and villas in Puerto Banus. This is the marina for the well-known destination, Marbella. Here you can experience sun, sea and sand, but with an extra upmarket character and luxury amenities. Whether you have in mind a villa or apartment, want to spend your getaway next to the beach, on a golf course or at the heart of the town, you'll be able to select the locale that suits your plans. As befits the area, holiday villas in Puerto Banus tend to be plushly furnished and kitted out with modern appliances. You can pinpoint the guest facilities you'd like to have at your ideal apartment in Puerto Banus to tailor your getaway to fit your needs, with air-conditioning, outdoor gardens and pools offered by many rentals.
-Beaches. Marbella offers some wonderful stretches of coastline. A popular option, almost on your doorstep is Playa Rio Verde, which is complemented by great facilities as it sits next to Paseo Maritimo. A glamorous option, favoured especially by hip young things is Playa Nueva Andalucia, while further west is Guadalamina, which is altogether more low-key.
-Shopping. Puerto Banus is renowned for its upscale character and high-end shopping. Here you'll find luxury boutiques representing brands like Gucci, Versace and Christian Dior. Marbella also offers a large mall, La Cañada, with more than 150 shops and services, and a branch of the trusty El Corte Inglés department store.
-Watersports. Equipment rentals and specialists are available close to Puerto Banus for all kinds of water sports in the summer months – parasailing is a one-off experience, affording memorable views of Marbella and the Mediterranean. There's also jet-skiing, yacht charters, motor boat rentals, water-skiing, not to forget pedalos.
-Golf. There are ten courses in the Marbella area, but if you have a car you'll also be just a short trip from other great options on the Costa del Golf. Local favourites include Los Naranjos, which takes its name from the orange groves that line the fairways. It's a beautifully-maintained course, open to the public and drawing numerous celebrity guests.
-Visitor attractions. If you're interested in the area's history then you'll find the remnants of Roman villas and a Moorish castle in Marbella. The old-town is still partially enclosed by an Islamic-era defensive wall. For family days out there's the Aqualand water park, around half an hour east in Torremolinos.
Puerto Banus apartments are set in a part of Spain with a warm Mediterranean climate. This results in high temperatures and dry, sunny weather from around May to mid-October. The hottest months are July and August, when temperatures regularly get above 30 degrees during the day. Spring conditions are also quite warm, with highs above 20 degrees as early as March some years. Winter and autumn weather is very mild, although there is a little more rainfall at these times of year. Highs in January usually reach the mid-teens.
The road network on the Costa del Sol is modern and extensive, so most holidaymakers in Puerto Banus hire rental cars. All the same, there's an intercity bus system providing links between the nearest airport in Malaga and various other cities in Andalucia. Marbella is one of the largest towns in Spain not to have a train station, although local and long-distance buses pick up the slack. Malaga Airport (AGP) is just over half an hour to the east and is the third-busiest in the country, connecting to destinations across Europe, and even North America.

In Dillards bid for an all-time record-tying eighth state girls basketball title, Hall of Fame coach Marcia Pinder and star power forward Kayla Wright will need each other as much as ever.
The fates of Wright and Pinder will be intertwined with Wright on a mission to bring Pinder No. 8 and Pinder trying to help the Tulsa commit become only the fourth Broward player to win state titles in four consecutive varsity seasons.
The fact Kaylas mother, Wanda Burns-Wright, played for Pinder but didnt win a state title gives Pinder added incentive to help Kayla earn her own basketball immortality.
To have a player like Kayla is a big plus, Pinder said. She puts so much work and heart into it getting to this point. Im talking on and off the court where she could have gotten an academic scholarship even if she wasnt playing basketball.
Kayla has three state titles, and I wouldnt want her to be short of her last title. I wouldnt want anything less than the best for her.
Wright expects to pick up where she left off last season as her breakthrough junior year carried Dillard to its seventh state title under Pinder, one shy of tying Laurel Hill and South Broward as the only Florida girls teams to four-peat.
Providing the ideal post complement to University of Miami 6-6 recruit Macy Keen, Wright averaged a career high 14 points and 9.4 rebounds to win 2011-12 F.A.B.C. Class 5A Player of the Year and unanimous Broward Player of the Year.
A proven big-game player, Wright cemented the Panthers three-peat with 21 points and 10 rebounds in a 59-45 victory over Bartram Trail in the Class 5A state title game.
Winning Player of the year brought my confidence up even more, Wright said. I didnt think I would get it. It was an honor to get it but Im still hungry for more.
I put in a lot of work over the summer to get there. In my senior year Im trying to come back even stronger.
That is bad news for opponents trying to slow a Dillard freight train with the talent and depth to trump last seasons 27-4 state championship team and run the table.
Dillard is loaded with Brianna Green, LaQuacious Adams, Courtney Parson, Jessica Jones, Alliyah Anderson, Jacoreyah Clayton and Kareese Johnson. It also added the firepower of transfers Eva Myers, a two-time All-Broward first-team selection, 6-1 Britashia Burns, and promising freshmen Destiny Frazier and Tierra Wilks.
But Wright is the biggest difference-maker.
Pinder, who became the winningest high school coach in Floridas state history, No. 19 all-time nationally in wins (804-175) and won Russell Athletics/Womens Basketball Coaches Association National High School Coach of the Year, said Wrights high motor and versatility set her apart.
Generously listed at 6-0, Wright uses a high IQ and offensive arsenal of jump hooks, spin moves and a surprising quick step to keep taller players off balance.
Wright said she has added a consistent 20-foot jumper over the summer, which should make her an even more prolific offensive weapon.
Kayla can do so much with the ball, Pinder said. She tries to get all her teammates involved. Then, she can take you off the dribble.
We could actually give her the ball at all five positions and be satisfied with the outcome. That is very unique. Not too many players on this level can do that. The last player we had like that was Erica Brown.
Dillard hosts its two biggest rivals South Broward on Wednesday and Nova on Monday but probably wont get its first real test before traveling to Arizona for the Nike Tournament of Champions in December.
Her place in history already secured with three rings, Wright is not about to let an opportunity to join some select company slip by.
Getting a fourth ring would mean a lot, Wright said. Not just for me but for Coach Pinder and our team.
We would make history again. Im just grateful to be in this position. Its not often you have somebody win four consecutive state titles in their high school career and have an impact all four seasons.
