How can i 'hide' every post by a certain person on Facebook?

[Pacific Dub]

So on facebook i have a few friends who always post boring things. I don't want to remove them but i don't want to see their stuff. Is there a way i can 'hide' everything they post so i never see anything by them on my wall?
Thanks, so they won't see i blocked them right??
I don't want to unfriend them because i might want to see their posts sometime in the future, just not now

Kenya...can you write to the FACEBOOK people and tell them about this problem they can add to thier webpage? I only hear about FAcebook, but don't know what it is. But it'd be nice to hear from the users on how to improve thier service.

Just open your friend profile ... and move cursor near FRIEND tab , it will show drop down list .. in that click on SHOW IN NEWS FEED to disable it..
