After months of searching, you and your roommateshave finally found a house to rent. Nestled in a quietneighborhood, the house’s interior has been updatedwith fresh paint. The color of choice, of course, is white,and much to your chagrin, the owner will not allowyou to repaint. White it is, but not to worry. You canadd in pops of color to really jazz up the place.

One of the first things that might come to mind isbuying a load of colorful furniture. Beware of this, though.Whatever pieces you invest in now will most certainlygo with you to your next place where you might be ableto paint the walls. Opt for nice neutral pieces insteadthat will work with any décor in the coming years.

You’ve got white walls and neutral furniture, so where does the color come in? One of the easiest,most inexpensive ways is through your selection of

fabric and textiles.Like the color red?To s s s o m e r e dpillows onto yourcaramel suede sofaand a red throw on your chocolaterec l iner. Add ab r i g h t r e d r u gunde r foo t , andvoila, you’ve gotinstant color. Gotsome chairs thathave seen betterd a y s ? S e w aslipcover for them,o r b e t t e r y e t ,reupholster themwith colorful fabric.Need more artwork?

Drape a canvas with a favorite fabric, tack it in placeand presto, you have instant color on your walls.

Another way to punch up your space is to usecolorful accessories. Cut some flowers from yourgarden and put them into a colorful vase on yourcoffee table, or clip some branches and stack them in the umbrella stand by your front door. To stay on budget, look for colorful accessories at fleamarkets and discount stores. Spray-paint anything you don’t like and purchase artwork from buddingartists or frame colorful wallpaper scraps. For evenmore color, paint all of your plain artwork frames.

Don’t overlook lighting in your quest for color. Polish tarnished brass fixtures. Change out whitelampshades for more colorful ones. Replace old fanglobes with bright, stylish models. Add some brightlycolored pull chains to plain metal lamps.

By limiting color to your fabrics, textiles, accessoriesand lighting, you can change your color palette fairly easily and inexpensively whenever you want.Tired of red? Switch to a cool shade of blue or yellow in your fabrics, textiles, accessories and lighting components.

2010 January l Tell Them You Saw It in Sea Island Scene l 3

The days had been cold for awhile now, andmore Beaufortonians have been taking to thecozy comforts of their couches and snuggies.Rocking chairs adorn both the insides of

homes and the out. The townsfolk rock, backand forth and back again, slowly, slower than timeitself. The crackling of the fireplace sends smells ofburning Beaufort logs into the living room air. Books are devoured and all is calm

towards the end of another winter spell.

As winter melts, spring knows it’s about to debut. Only weeks away until it’s grand entrance,

when all the napping critters and tadpoles will emerge. Oh we long for that day, when the

mittens are put away.

Beaufort is beautiful inside and out. Creativity finds it’s way intothe souls of those who seek to find it. Beaufort entices andenriches the lives of those who walk it’s path. It is a place wheredreams are born and grow into grand adventures.

New You

Boredom Busters Life AlteringIt happens to you every time. You resolve to get fit at the start of theNew Year, you work out regularly and then you lose steam. You revert toold habits, exercising whenever you feel like it. The primary cause ofyour behavior: not a lack of self-discipline but plain old boredom. You get tired of exercising and plop down in front of the TV instead.

Exercise boredom is not uncommon. Many people, including die-hardfitness buffs, experience it from to time. Fortunately, there are severalways to combat it. First, you need to review your workout routine andpinpoint exactly what it is that bores you. Are you tired of doing thesame old exercises at the same old time in the same old place day inand day out? Yeah? Well then, it's time to make some changes. Run in themorning on some days around your neighborhood and swim in the eveningon others at the gym. Vary your routine and keep boredom at bay.

To ensure your workouts are interesting, incorporate gadgets and entertainmentinto them. Get a heart-rate monitor and use it during your workouts tomake sure you are reaching your potential. Watch some TV or listen tosome music to make your workouts fun.

Small changes in your exercise routine, whether in activity, timing,location and even frequency and duration, can do wonders forcombating boredom. None of it, however, may be enough. You mayneed to make bigger changes, like trying an adventurous sport,participating in a team sport or finding an exercise buddy. Often peoplebecome bored with exercise because they do it alone. Time flies muchfaster when you have someone to talk to while you are exercising. A partner can also keep you motivated. Failing to show up for a workoutis a lot harder when someone is waiting for you.

Even with all of these changes in your exercise routine, you may stillsuffer some boredom from time to time. To keep yourself motivated,find something to shoot for. Think about what it is that you want to getfrom exercising and set some long-term goals. Perhaps you want to lose10 pounds or run three miles. These are goals you can work up to a littleat a time. You can run a quarter of a mile one week, a half of a mile thenext two weeks, a mile the next four weeks, and so forth, until you reachyour three-mile goal. Once you reach your long-term goals, make sureyou find new ones to keep the momentum going.

In addition to setting long-term goals, focus on the rewards you get from exercising. Use the weight you have lost, the muscle tone you havegained or the overall sense of satisfaction you have received fromexercising to stay motivated. Perhaps you feel better after you work outor have more stamina and energy to get through the day. All of theseare benefits you can turn to whenever you get bored to stay motivated.

Fighting exercise boredom is not easy. It can be done, however. Change is key, and to stay motivated, you need to set some long-termgoals and focus on all of the rewards you reap from exercising.

It’s hard enough to be a young adult today, but add in the pressure of theneed to be thin and a disease that has no cure, and you have the perfectopportunity for diabulimia. Although it is a fairly recent term and is not arecognized medial condition, diabulimia can be deadly. A combination oftype 1 diabetes and an eating disorder, diabulimia occurs when someoneskips an insulin shot in order to lose weight.

Type 1 diabetics produce little to no insulin because their immune systemattacks the insulin-producing cells in their pancreas. They must take dailyinsulin shots. The insulin processes food and delivers glucose from thebloodstream to the body’s cells, providing them with energy. Without insulin,the body doesn’t use the food for energy, thereby eliminating the majorityof calories eaten.

Having diabetes doesn’t mean someone will develop an eating disorder,but it does set the stage for one. Both conditions involve managing weightand tracking body states and timing and content of meals. Someone withdiabetes worries about fluctuating blood sugar, while someone with aneating disorder worries about fluctuating weight. Type 1 diabetics who areworried about their weight may resort to reducing or stop taking theirinsulin altogether to eliminate the calories consumed.

Anyone who reduces or skips their insulin shots runs the risk of goinginto a coma or death. They may also experience long-term kidney failure,blindness and amputations. There are many signs of diabulimia. Some ofthese include:

•Changing eating habits, becoming obsessed with food or going on a new diet•Going to the bathroom after meals•Having low energy and high blood-sugar levels•Urinating frequently•Refusing to take insulin on time•Experiencing heart palpitations and chest pain, lower back pain and

muscle cramps, or frequent bacterial infections

Getting treatment is the first step for anyone suffering from diabulima -the earlier, the better. Eating disorders are treatable and recovery is possible.Restoring the individual’s physical health is the number one priority. For someone with anorexia and diabetes, that means getting their insulinand weight back on track. For someone with bulimia, diabetes and anorexia,that means getting their insulin and weight on track and eating balanced meals.Once the body is healthy, the psychological issues behind the eating problemcan be addressed.

In most cases, diabulimia can be treated on an outpatient basis. In addition to family involvement, a physician must treat the diabetesand the effects of the eating disorder on the body while a psychologisttreats the emotional issues that caused the eating disorder. Sometimes, a family therapist and a dietitian may be involved for nutritionaleducation and counseling. In cases of severe depression, a hospital stayor medication carefully monitored by a physician may be needed.

If you or someone you know is suffering from diabulimia, it is essentialthat you get help immediately. Is the need to be thin really moreimportant than your life?

Five years ago this very issue marked the first editorial I printed Sea Island Scene.It’s been a long, exciting, and sometimes hairy journey. The road behind has beenstomped to my hearts content and the road ahead looks almost whimsical, like a dream.

This morning I was on the way to my home-away-from-home (the office) when I noticedsomething different about the sky. Directly above there were low fluffy, thick cloudswith ribbons of blue sky shining through. Almost made me chilly to watch above.Almost made me hit the car ahead from gazing too long. It looked pretty arctic if youask me. This sight had good day written all over it. You see, I have been rushing to

work early and staying late these past few weeks. I’m having what I would like to call my 5th wind. I’m guessing it’s because there areso many new things the staff of Sea Island Scene are implementing to help spread tidings of Beaufort’s great finds.

We’ve enhanced the magazine’s website, so now you can actually turn the pages online. Fancy that! It’s a nice added touch to be ableto give more to the community and to our advertisers without emptying their pockets. Although I’m biased in saying so, I am reallyproud that this magazine’s concentration of readers is growing in vast numbers every month, not only in Beaufort and the sea islands,but across the United States. Especially now with an unlimited distribution base since we can be seen by simply the click of a mouse! It seems every time I leave the house I meet someone new who says, “You’re that girl from that magazine,” or “I read Sea Island Sceneevery month.” What a compliment! The most impressive the staff of ‘The Scene’ could ever receive is that people are reading.

Though I take great pleasure in knowing that my work isn't in vain, I can’t help but run out of steam once in awhile. We all do, don’t we? There comes a time in every man’s life where a lack of proper nutrients, sleep and break from daily repetition can wear aperson out. I’ve fallen victim to workaholic ways on numerous occasions. All it takes though is a simple compliment from one of ourreaders to fill me back up with fuel and get my mind reeling again.

It’s January 2010. Wow! I can remember being in Italy during 1999 and everyone in Rome was scrambling to save themselves from Y2K.Wasn’t the world suppose to end back then, or at least the technological world it seemed. I’m quite interested in seeing what the futurewill bring, on December 12, 2012 to be exact. Are the Mayans and Nostradamas correct in their predictions or are they just anotherphilosophical attempt at foreseeing the book of Revelation? Either way, there is nothing any of us can do but continue on our journey.

Over the past five years I have learned a lot about myself while living in Beaufort. I’ve learned that I don’t have as thick of skin as I’d like, though it’s getting thicker. I’velearned that this truly is a small world after all (and a much smaller town), and I’ve learnedthat Sea Island Scene has a larger informative and entertainment impact on people than Ihad originally knew. During 2010, I hope to continue to bring this adorable petite magazineinto the lives of thousands more across the United States. I hope this publication encouragesthose of you who haven’t yet arrived, those of you who are reading online orreceived a copy in the mail) to visit us soon. More over, I wish for all of you, my colorful and energetic readers, to have the most wonderful, awe-inspiringexploration of this quaint coastal town during 2010 and for years to come.Happy New Year to you all!

Establish a memorable and unmistakeable brand identity:- The secret to business success is determined by yourability to powerfully communicate your business withlaser precision and your ability to deliver a clearly-defined and consistent experience.

- In a nutshell... it’s called branding, and, when done right,it ensures a thriving business with all the customers andprofits you need. The secret is to establish a powerfulbrand identity that sings distinction. And establish thatidentity before you launch any marketing activities.

- Create a deep connection with your core target audience- your potential raving fans! Who wants and needs what

you have to offer? The only wrong answeris “everyone.” If you’re a pediatrician,

you may see infants andchildren. Are they yourtarget audience? No!

They are your patients,but it’s the parentsyou need to connectwith to get the

kids in your door.And it’s not justany parents - it’s adefinite group of

parents.

- In marketing, you get a lotmore “bang for your buck” if you

focus your spending on a well-defined group of peoplethat you enjoy working with. The better you define thisgroup, the more effective your marketing can be.

Design compelling offerings that pull customers inlike a magnet.- 80% of all purchase decisions are based on emotion.It’s your job as a marketer to know how your customerswant to feel and to get them to visualize how yourservices can meet their needs. People want to know,“What’s in it for me?” Tap into the emotion and createofferings that touch your customers.

- Craft A Personal, Workable Marketing Plan Marketingis everything you do to make your product or servicemore visible, more desirable and more profitable. Your marketing plan will clearly define the big pictureand provide focus and direction based on the 4 ‘P’s ofMarketing - product, price, place/distribution and promotion.

- Since 90% of small business owners do not have a plan,you’ll have a leg up on your competition by craftingyour personal, workable marketing plan to ensure thatyou reach your business goals.

Following these 4 criteria will transform any small businessinto a money-making machine guaranteed to grow yourclient list, sales and profits. The upfront work is the secretto a million-dollar business, literally and figuratively.

Building a house today doesn’t mean you haveto use the same old materials. Thanks to a littlething called progress, new building materialsare popping up all over the place.

Although the principle has been around forhundreds of years, green roofs are new to thearchitectural scene. These vegetated roof coversuse plants in place of tiles or shingles, decreasingstorm water runoff, filtering pollutants out ofrainwater and decreasing energy usage. If usedwide-scale, green roofs could reduce the urbanheat island effect of a city.

Green roofs are available in different depths andrequire strong structural support. With just a fewinches of growth medium and wedding-cake layers of waterproofing membranes and rootbarriers to prevent leaks, they can be planted withalpine plants. In some cases, deep soil andirrigation systems may be used to grow shrubs,grass and trees. Green roofs are being usedsuccessfully on at least two buildings in the UnitedStates, city hall in Chicago and the headquarters ofthe American Society of Landscape Architects.

Concrete is no longer the drab, gray buildingmater ia l i t once was. Manufactured by Lafarge, Ductal, which has been on the market fora few years now, casts like concrete and feels likeconcrete but behaves like metal once cured. It isfive times stronger than regular concrete thanks tothe small fibers of steel or polymer dispersedthroughout the matrix. Ductal costs about as muchas traditional concrete and steel and comes incustom recast shapes. It has been used in severalpedestrian bridges around the world and a lightrail transit station in Calgary.

Similar to Ductal, bendable concrete resistscracking 500 times more than traditional concrete,weighs less and requires fewer jo ints and reinforcements. Bendable concrete uses

synthetic fibers, which are placed in the mix withtraditional construction equipment and techniques.It has been used in projects in Australia, Japan,Korea and Switzerland.

A small German company has developed LiTraCon,a translucent concrete containing glass opticalfibers as thick as a human hair. To make sure eachfiber makes contact with surfaces on both sides,the blocks are built in stages. A thin layer ofconcrete is poured into a long, narrow mold; thisprocess is repeated until a long beam is formed,which is then cut into short, rectangular building blocks. These are riddled with thin, lightpipes that transmit light from one side of thematerial to the other. Through the use of differentdiameters (two microns to two millimeters),different illumination effects can be achieved. The size of the block has no effect on theillumination of the fibers.

Although it is not available on the market,SmartWrap, a thin material made from the sameplastic as soda bottles and pressed into rolls, is strong enough to provide protection from aCategory 3 hurricane. An organic light-emittingdiode technology of organic molecules is depositedonto the plastic film. This emits light when an electriccurrent is applied, providing lightning protection.Microcapsules of change-phase materials areembedded in the film, absorbing heat in thesummer and releasing heat in the winter, thereby controlling the climatein the building. Organicphotovoltaic cells arealso embedded inthe film to absorbsunlight andp r o d u c epower.

For 300 years, since 1712, Beaufort’sbusiness section has been concentratedalong Bay Street’s three blocks,beginning with Carteret, to Scott, toCharles Streets. It still is, but the typesof businesses have changed drasticallywith the years.

The first town planners of Beauforthoped for an open downtown water front,free of buildings, with north-southstreets extending to the river’s shore.The Beaufort Preservation Manualmentioned “twenty-four lots of lesser size,presumably planned for commercial use,were sited on the north side of anunnamed street (Bay) adjacent to the river.”Those lots were small in size. An Actspecified that “every person who took up any of the more strategic frontlots was required to build a house, 15 feet by 30 feet, within two years.”With economic growth, owners wishingto expand their businesses boughtadjoining lots. Present-day tax mapsstill show vestiges of the original lot lines.

Original prohibitions regardingbuildings on the south, river-side ofBay Street were gradually ignored andconstruction, business and residential,

took place. The original provisionsregarding north-south streets runningto the shore of the Beaufort River, are still maintained for the most part.

The Civil War, 1861-1865, saw changesin ownership of Bay Street propertiesto merchants and residential, for northernnew-comers, but maintaining itsessential business qualities. The 1941South Carolina state volume of theAmerican Guide Series listed ships’piers on Bay Street between Scott andWest Streets. The Beaufort-SavannahSteamship Line listed three round tripsweekly. Fare was one dollar, with stopsat wherever passengers were waiting,en route.

Col. George Chicken, an early S.C.Indian fighter, was one of the firstowners of Lot No. 5 on “The Bay” andLot No. 30 on Port Royal Street (nowPort Republic). Those two lots are nowthe site of The Old Bay Market Place.

Six Southern Cooking TipsSix Southern Cooking TipsTip #1: Use What You HaveIn early days there were very few rich people in the south.Without a pocket full of cash led them to settle for theingredients they had on hand. This may have been freshproduce from their gardens, meat from hogsthat they had raised, fresh eggs andpoultry, and anything else that they hadgrown or raised themselves. You canapply this in your own kitchen. Instead ofrushing off to the grocery store for oneingredient, try working with what you have on hand. Some of the best meals come fromcreativity rather than cookbooks.

Tip #2: Cook It SlowSouthern cooking does take a while toprepare. You can’t rush home from work and plan on preparing collard greens, fried chicken, homemade biscuits, and banana pudding in 30 minutes. Many people are actually too busy to createa delicious Southern meal during the week. But, with a little planning you can create adelicious meal on the weekend.

Tip #3: Learn to Cook By EyeSouthern cooking is not about measurements.That’s why it’s hard to put these kinds of recipes on paper.Many southern chefs adjust their recipes slightly to createthe perfect dish. Don’t be afraid to taste your food along theway to see if it needs more seasoning.

Tip #4: Use Cast Iron CookwareCast iron is one of the most important pieces of kitchenequipment when it comes to southern cooking. They areuseful for fried chicken, cornbread and fried potatoes.

A cast iron Dutch oven is great for stews. Look inthe camping department of stores to find

cast iron cookware.

Tip #5: Don't Be Afraid to UseButter

Southern cooking is not about low fat, low calorie, or low anything. Southern cooking is

about flavor and feeding the ones you love. If youwant your meals to be delicious, don’t be afraid

to add real butter. Margarine does not work well inthese types of recipes.

Tip #6: Remember That Bacon Grease Adds FlavorWhat do you do with your leftover bacon grease?

If you enjoy Southern cooking, you saveyour bacon grease. Bacon grease tastesamazing in fried corn and green beans.You can even fry hot cakes in bacon grease.

This may sound weird to some, but this iswhat Southern cooking is all about. You use what you

have and that involves not throwing away ingredients thatcould be used in future meals.

What Makes TheWorld Go RoundDo you find yourself constantly reaching for spices when you cook?Ever wonder where some of those spices came from? Most of the spiceswe use today have been around for centuries and some have even beenused for purposes other than cooking. Here is a brief look at the originsof some common spices and their uses throughout history.

AllspiceThe dried, green berry of an evergreen tree of the myrtle family,allspice originated in Jamaica. Christopher Columbus discovered it andmistook it for pepper. He brought the spice back to Spain where it waspromptly named “pimienta,” or pepper. Allspice has been used as aflavoring for a number of foods and as a preventative measure againstfoot sores by Russian solders during the Napoleonic Wars.

BasilA bright green, leafy plant of the mint family, basil originated in Indiaand Persia. While some people like the Greeks hated it, others like theRomans adored basil and regarded it as a symbol of love. Basil has beenused as an ingredient in magic spells, as a perfume to attract wealth, as a token to help the dead pass to the next world, as a remedy forscorpion stings and snakebites, and as a treatment for many conditions,including arthritis, depression, ear infections, headaches, influenza,poor eyesight, rheumatism and skin diseases.

ClovesThe dried, unopened flowers of an evergreen tree of the myrtlefamily, cloves originated in the Molucca Islands in Indonesia. Every time a child was born on the island, natives planted a clove tree to celebrate their birth.They believed the fate of the tree and the childwere intertwined, and when the Dutch decided todestroy several of the trees to keep clove prices high,the natives revolted. Cloves have been used as aningredient in magic spells, as a preservative in foods,as a source of comfort for the bereaved, as a mothrepellant and as an anesthetic to ease toothache,indigestion, nausea and bad breath.

CuminThe pale green seed of a small herb in the parsley family, cumin is thought to have originatedin Egypt and the Mediterranean. It was a favoriteof the Romans and is even mentioned in the OldTestament. Cumin has been used as an ingredientin magic spells, as a safeguard against infidelity and insecurity, and as a digestive.

GingerThe dried, ground root of a plant in the gingerfamily, ginger is thought to have originated insouthern China. It was one of the spices that pavedthe way for the development of the spice trade routes.Ginger has been used as an ingredient in magic spells, as anaphrodisiac, as a poison antidote, as a digestive and as a treatment for anumber of conditions, including colds, chills and rheumatism.

NutmegThe hard, aromatic seed of the fruit of an evergreen tree of the nutmeg family, nutmeg is thought to have originated in the Banda Islands,a tiny archipelago in eastern Indonesia. It comes from the same treethat also produces the spice mace. Nutmeg has been used as in ingredientin magic spells, as a preventative measure against the plague and as atreatment for many conditions, including bad breath, fevers, headachesand intestinal upsets.

OreganoThe dried leaf of an aromatic herb of the mint family,oregano originated in Greece. It has been used as apoultice for achy muscles, sores and rheumaticpains in limb joints and as a treatment for asthma,bronchitis and gastrointestinal disorders.

RosemaryAn evergreen shrub of the mint family, rosemaryoriginated in the Mediterranean. Legend has it thatthe Virgin Mary draped her blue cloak on a Rosemarybush and placed a white flower on top of it duringher flight from Egypt. During the night, the flowerturned blue and the bush became known thereafteras the “rose of Mary.” Rosemary has been used asan ingredient in magic spells, as a token of thosewho have died, as a safeguard against infidelity, asan alternative to frankincense, as a component ofhair tonics and shampoos, as a cure for paralysisand gout, as a preventative measure against the plague,as a gargle and as a treatment for a number ofconditions, including colds, dizziness, headaches,

indigestion, muscle aches and pains, and neuralgia.

SageAn herb from an evergreen shrub of the mint family,

sage originated in Asia Minor andthe Mediterranean. It hasbeen used as an ingredient in

magic spells, as a cosmeticagent to darken hair, as agargle and as a treatment formany conditions, includingbleeding gums, digestiveproblems, fevers, frazzlednerves and mouth ulcers.

ThymeThe leaf of a low-growingshrub of the mint family,

thyme originated in southernEurope. Legend has it thatthyme was used in the strawbed of the Virgin Mary and theChrist child. Ancient Greeksconsidered it a symbol of courageand sacrifice. Thyme has beenused as a deterrent to nightmares,

as a cleanser and disinfectant, as an expectorant and as a treatment

for a number of conditions, including bronchitis,coughs, diarrhea, fungal skin diseases, gastrointestinalproblems and sore throats.

The origins and purposes of spices are as varied asthe spices themselves. Many come from Europe and Asia, others from the Caribbean. In addition toflavoring food, almost all have been used medicinally.Some have even been used cosmetically. Without them,the world as we know it would not be the same.
