I feel that I've been doing too much freestyling lately; knitting "by the seat of my pants", so to speak. While the results have been good, I know that I can't learn new techniques by watching Knitty Gritty alone, I have to follow a pattern. Unfortunately, every time I try to follow one, my project turns into a horrible mess.
I decided to sit down, turn the artsy-fartsy right-brain off and follow a pattern; this time a chart. So I chose one of the thousands of free charts from the internet and hunkered down, determined to make this one come out right.
I'm almost done with the second of the Fibonnaci socks. (Pictures tomorrow, I'm having technical difficulties!) I'm also about to turn the heel of the second blue/multi sock. That will leave me with lots of leftovers for a pair of random striped socks.
One of my friend's best friends has just had a baby girl. He summoned me to rescue this poor, but well-loved, little girl from being smothered in pink. So I have a skein of hand-dyed green/yellow cotton rayon yarn and am planning to make EZ's Baby Surprise Jacket.
After all it's never too late for a Fashion Intervention. Just call me Queer Eye for the Cute Baby! I will post pictures of the
mutant alien dishcloth jacket when it's done. I'll have a working camera by then I hope -- I've just ordered a new one.
Stripes were easy to learn, once I got the tension right at the yarn switch. I must've forgotten something very basic, as I somehow lost a stitch at the end of a row twice.
Hi guys nice to find a site of other men who knit. I learned to knit about a dozen years ago. I put down my needles for a few years but started to knit again last year when my daughter was pregnant. The pics are of one of my recent projects - it is an all seed-stich sweater I made for my granddaughter Sadie Mae.
Its made from a debbie bliss pattern. I made it out of a really funky novelty yarn I found at a Joann's craft store. The yarn has a metalic thread that runs through it so it is all sparkly. This jacket is my homage to the one Judy Garland wore at her ' 61 Carnegie Hall concert (I figure what fun is it having a gay grandpa if you don't flaunt it a bit).
I finished this up last week and gave it the wash and block over the weekend. I finally got around to taking a picture to post on it. The sweater is the Sampler Sweater from Simply Beautiful Sweater For Men. The grey yarn I purchased last year at our knitting guild's annual yarn auction. It came in 2 very large skeins and was unmarked. It is a single ply, loosely spun worsted weight wool.
is anyone interested in a bit of charity work?
Knit A River is the best petition you'll ever knit! It's a great way to help some of the world's poorest people and share your love of knitting. It's also a great way of using the oddments of blue yarn that are cluttering up your stash.
Knit A River is a unique campaign by I Knit for Wateraid. We need knitters to produce as many blue squares as possible and send them to us so we can sew them together to make a river. The river will (hopefully) flow through London (and more) carrying the message WATER AND TOILETS FOR ALL.
There are currently 1.1 billion people who do not have access to safe water.
I run a knitting group, I Knit London, the UK's only male run knitting group. I was interviewed with a member of the group by Tiscali earlier this year. They have put the video on their website...
allow me (and tiscali) to introduce myself...
let me know what you think, I'd love to hear your comments.
I was sitting by our knitting stall in the East End of London on Sunday, happily knitting away with the big needles and plastic bags when who should approach with an enquiring mind but Alexander McQueen.
Now, I don't know if he's a knitter (whaddya think?) but I remained chatty and aloof - I was only knitting a large plastic bag sheet to hang at the back of the stall for a bit of colour, but if he's got knitted carrier bags in his next collection I'm gonna sue!
Gotta go....
I recently received in the mail Vogue Knittings Stitchionary Volume 2- Cables. I thought it was going to be another lame book. Silly me forgot that Vogue is fabulous all around. I suggest everyone who loves cables and fun moving patterns pick this book up immediately.....maintenant, as we say in Quebec.....:)
I encountered a woman at a flea market on Saturday offering baskets of recycled yarn, which she confirmed was obtained by ripping out knitted garments. She was purposefully vague about where she buys them, but told me she has learned which brands are most likely to yield long continuous lengths of yarn. It was all quite clean and neatly wound with a mechanical winder, though she would not make any representation as to the fiber content, weight or yardage. WYSIWYG. The yarns I bought immediately melted when subjected to the flame test at home, and I imagine that mos

Went to Mahiki with some business colleagues in the evening had a great time. It was a Thursday night, we had some food which was good as it was light food but amazingly delicious. The place started to fill up around 11 and we had some drinks at our table, we had a brilliant hostess who was a good laugh and had brilliant service. All the staff seemed to be having a good time and enjoying what they do which was really nice to see for a change. When I'm next in Dubai for business I will be back to visit.

There is a rock bar very close to the hotel and every night until 11pm they played really loud music. It felt as though they were playing in my room and not next door. The staff were very welcoming and helpful but sadly this location was too noisy for me.

I'm trying to seamlessly integrate some legacy data into a django application. I would like to know if it's possible to use an alternate datasource for a django model. For example, can I contact a server to populate a list of a model? The server would not be SQL based at all. Instead it uses some proprietary tcp based protocol.
Copying the data is not an option, as the legacy application will continue to be used for some time. Would a custom manager allow me to do this?
This model should behave just like any other django model. It should even pluggable to the admin interface.
What do you think?
Thanks, Pete

A Messy Business: Clearing the Junk; Iron Triangle in Queens Is an Eyesore to Some but a Livelihood to Others
By COREY KILGANNON
Published: March 4, 2004
The Iron Triangle, a 13-block area between Shea Stadium and the Flushing River in Queens, is the largest single stretch of junkyards in New York City, with more than 100 auto salvage yards, repair garages and automotive shops. Wedged amid bustling commercial areas in Corona and Flushing, the triangle is an auto salvage theme park.
Here, business bustles against a backdrop of stacked, crumpled cars and a slum landscape. The streets are unpaved and lined with tire-change joints, hubcap purveyors, muffler shops, windshield installers and rim retailers. There are brake and transmission specialists, and auto body garages. The area goes back many decades, since parts purveyors first set up on these ash heaps that Fitzgerald mentioned in ''The Great Gatsby.''
But the Iron Triangle's days may soon be over. Under a plan to revitalize parts of downtown Flushing, the city plans to condemn the Iron Triangle and shut its junkyards. The land, bounded by 126th Street, Willets Point Boulevard and Northern Boulevard, would be bought for a fixed price under eminent domain laws.
One study projected it would cost an estimated $214 million to buy the land and clean up decades of leaked gas, oil and other contaminants. Yet the city has no specific plans for the cleaned site yet. Officials at the city's Economic Development Corporation say they have begun soliciting ideas from local groups. Informal suggestions for the area include parkland, a convention or cultural center, a retail-entertainment or office building complex, a new stadium for the Mets or the Jets, or an Olympic village if the city is selected as the host of the 2012 Games.
Politicians are on board and the plan has the widespread support of many business and community groups.
But like many business owners in the Iron Triangle, Danny Sambucci Jr., 46, of Sambucci Brothers Auto Salvage, complains that no politician, city official or civic leader has called or visited to brief them on what is going on.
''You got thousands of people here making a living and landowners who have paid taxes for decades, and we have to hear second-hand that we're going to have our land seized?'' said Mr. Sambucci, whose father, Danny Sambucci Sr., 73, opened the business in 1951.
Mr. Sambucci strips cars for parts and sells what is left to scrap metal dealers for $2 for every 100 pounds, or about $70 per stripped car. The parts can be lucrative. A BMW transmission can bring $1,500, he said, and a Mercedes engine can sell for $2,700. A Nissan Maxima engine can go for $250. The engines are cleaned in a special washing machine that filters out the toxic runoff.
''People think its 'Sanford and Son' down here, but it's serious business,'' said Mr. Sambucci's cousin Sammy Sambucci, 34.
Danny Sambucci Jr. said that he pays $72,000 in property taxes each year on his 2.5 acres of land but gets little back in services. The city has let the area deteriorate, he said, by not paving the streets and failing to install or offer sewers, sidewalks, signage, street lights or proper garbage pickup.
''They never wanted us here, so they ignored us, to make it make it look like a jungle, like a blight,'' he said. ''I can't relocate this business. Where am I going to go? Is there another community in Queens that will welcome us?''
The area is as thriving a business community as the garment or meatpacking districts in Manhattan or the Hunts Point market in the Bronx, he said. But city officials say the triangle has long been an eyesore and a waste of valuable property close to subway and bus lines, major highways and both La Guardia and Kennedy International Airports. The triangle is a lapse in proper civic planning, they say, and its demise is long overdue. They say the Flushing redevelopment plan will expand retail, office and residential space, improve transportation and recreation spaces and revitalize the Flushing Bay and Flushing River waterfront.
In a letter last month to the Empire State Development Corporation, the Queens borough president, Helen M. Marshall, wrote that the plan could ''transform a vastly underutilized tract of land into a thriving commercial center.''
Almost as long as the Iron Triangle has existed, business owners have heard rumblings about development. In the 1960's, business owners hired the young Queens lawyer Mario M. Cuomo, who successfully stopped Robert Moses from redeveloping the land. But there seems to be no such unity this time, and longtime politicians say the project has political and economic momentum.
Hiram Monserrate, the city councilman representing the area, said he recognizes the need to clear out the Iron Triangle.
''Clearly there is a better usage for that land, that would benefit the residents,'' he said. ''No one would want to build anything that is going to overlook those junkyards.''
But he also cautioned, ''The city needs to be conscientious that workers will be displaced and that relocation is necessary.''
City officials, including Mr. Monserrate and Councilman John C. Liu, say many Iron Triangle businesses have long been operating illegally and constantly violate city regulations. Business owners counter that this is an exaggeration and that many violations come from hard conditions the city imposes by neglecting the area.
Officials at the Economic Development Corporation say they want to help Iron Triangle companies find ways to stay in business. ''We will be working with businesses there to identify relocation options,'' said Janel Patterson, a spokeswoman for the corporation.
In the Iron Triangle, everything is on display: chrome bumpers, rusted-out car chassis, tires, mirrors, windshields. Planes to La Guardia fly low overhead and collated car hoods cut jagged profiles against the sky. There is hot food at the small delis squeezed among the auto shops, and back behind the auto shops is a spice warehouse and a waste transfer station.
In the streets, there are junkyard dogs, and workers jousting for customers by aggressively flagging down cars. Mechanics in greasy jumpsuits enjoy lunchtime soccer games around crumpled cars and crater-size potholes.
The tremendous ethnic diversity in Queens is reflected in the names here: Zura's 1000's of Auto Parts, the Stubborn Tire Shop and 14 Stars Auto Glass. There is the Mexecu auto repair shop and El Salvador Auto Glass. New Pancho Auto Glass sits next door to New Pamir Auto Body. Nearby is Ebukune Transmissions and New Brother Auto Body.
High-end Korean auto body shops fix sports cars for well-to-do businessmen from Flushing. Young, hip Japanese men flock to certain Japanese shops to soup up their low-riding sports cars. Hindi- and Arab-speaking livery cabdrivers bring their black Town Cars to garages with Afghan, Middle Eastern or South Indian owners. A Spanish-speaking customer looking for window tinting might go Colombia Auto Glass, owned by Hector Ospina, 45, a Colombian immigrant from Woodside.
''For Spanish people from poor cities, this does not look so strange,'' he said recently, looking over Willets Point Boulevard. ''The city does not care about this, but I'm worried because I have to support a lot of people.''
Nearby at Aryana Auto Body, Salman Ali, 30, an auto body repairman, leaned on a Mitsubishi Galant with a bashed-in quarter panel.
''The only time the city comes down here is to ticket us; they take our taxes and don't fix anything,'' said Mr. Ali, an Afghan immigrant who supports his family in Flushing. ''Now they say they're going to move us out? Where will they put us? We have no place to go. We're poor people. We're not rich.''
At Sambucci Brothers, there are hundreds of totaled cars that are stacked, waiting to be stripped.
''I came down here as a barefoot kid collecting junk in a wagon,'' Danny Sambucci Sr. said.
He hoped his son Danny Jr. would become a doctor, but now Danny Jr. owns the business and plans on passing it to his son, also named Danny, who is 16.
''They took Manhattan from the Indians,'' Danny Sambucci Sr. said. ''Now they want to take this from us.''

Liberated Pixel Cup: Art Entries Closed; Code Competition Begins 34
from the race-for-the-cup-continues dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I'm working in 3d, and as near photo-realistic as I can get, rather than 2d cute cartoony stuff. You can get a long way with tools like MakeHuman [makehuman.org], but there isn't (yet) and equivalent MakeCamel project, and my game needs camels... Given that what I want to do is fairly photo-realistic, I would have thought that the assets I want are also wanted by makers of lots of other games (OK, maybe not the camels) and that what's needed is a sort of Creative Commons directory of game assets.
Mind you, this competition is a great start and worthy of support.

Don't miss this gem in the center of Palma. Even when you're not interested in modern art! You have nothing to loose except a few minutes. You will find a beautiful building and I'm sure you will find a few art pieces you will appreciate. I loved the Batló art pieces!
I highly recommend this place!
Regarding the artists it is splendid. But it has a narrow variation when it comes to the themes. We could live without the visit.
Worth visiting. Some famous names and some I'd never heard of: nice setting in central Palma. Calm, beautiful surroundings.
If you enjoy art, like beautiful building and you like to do it for free then this is the place to go. Small but better than the Muro studios. This is one of the prettiest interiors in Palma and possibly many other cities. Doesn't take long to visit but well worth the time!
We have not been to Palma before so a winter visit is probably not representative. But we found this place with little trouble and parked easily and loved the buildings. It is a lovely location, not many people about and cafeteria not open. It is nice to see a lot of Miro's paintings but these are not the best ones.
The collection of 20th century sculptures by some of the greatest artists including,from an English perspective, Moore and Epstein, are stunning and located in the entrance courtyard of this stunning palazzo.
Located next to Palma Cathedral.
There is currently an interesting late Dali exhibition.
A glorious building with some beautiful public rooms with fabulous vista over Palma.
Great for a...
In my opinion, this is the best museum in Palma, and arguably one of the best on the island. Situated right in the center of Palma's teeming with life pedestrian zone, it is also an oasis of calm among the exuberance of Mediterranean life.
Set in the centre of the city off one of the main shopping streets, the entrance can be easily missed. The whole building is spectacular and has 2 floors of modern art. Highly recommended
Not many things are free, but this was a fantastic gallery. The building is lovely alone and the art is a wonderful mix of modern classics. If you were talking you could walk past, we nearly did. This is not mainstream but if you like educating or seeing inspiring art pieces DO NOT MISS this Museum.
This was a great way to spend an hour if you like art. Not everyone's cup of tea but it was well worth the visit.

Just bought a Panasonic tunerless 32" lcd. Very, very happy with the picture until my astute son came to visit and noticed the screen did not fill up i.e. the right hand side of the screen had a slight (1/4 inch) vertical black bar, on the very perimiter, that made the picture incomplete. When we hooked up the digital camera- full screen, when we hooked up his blue ray Playstation-full screen. It has to be the external, Dish Network tuner causing the problem- I think. I know this is very technical, but does anyone have any insight? Thanks, Paul

Professor Jean Webb, from the children's literature research center at the University of Worcester, called for more balance in the way fat pupils are represented. She claimed that many books portray fat characters as mean and unpopular, and that this will have negative impact on our culture.
Many children's stories, including Harry Potter to the Billy Bunter series, also depict the chubby kids as greedy, lazy and nasty.
"It's a delicate area and you must not marginalise particular groups," Webb said. She also claimed that the character of Dudley Dursley in JK Rowling's best-selling Harry Potter series was one example of how an overweight child is portrayed as bad. "Dudley is a fat little rotter and his fatness is presented as a moral failing," she said.
Judy Blume's well-known book, titled Blubber, deals with an overweight girl who is picked on in school. In the sequel, the character then sheds her pounds and thereby gains many friends as well as a boyfriend. Some are saying this to be a negative example for young children.

Raphael was an amazing storyteller and knowledgeable tour guide! We saw many 'highlights' but didn't feel rushed, great introduction to the Louvre.
The guide was the BEST!!!!!
The tour is only four hours and it really goes fast. My tour guide was full of energy and detail. I already want to go back to Paris and spend a few days walking the Louvre.
I can't imagine not having a guide at the Louvre. It was the best.
Amazing experience, great tour. The guide was very good in making the most out of the Louvre and showing us pieces that we would not have seen otherwise. Highly recommend!
Excellent tour guide ...very informative.
Julian was excellent. Very much enjoyed his presentation of the Louvre. What a beautiful and incredible place. He had us so involved for the 3-4 hours. Left us wanting to know more about the Louvre.
Tour guide was great, very well presented and very knowledgeable. Even if you are not into the whole museum thing this tour is well worth taking and gives a very good snapshot of a great and massive museum.
Carolyn S
The small group tour was fantastic. There were 10 people in our group. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the art works and also was able to get us to the highlights very quickly. We spent about three and a half hours seeing the prime art works as well as many other artists works that we were hoping to see. We never could have done and seen as much as we did without the help of our experienced guide. Thank for a great tour!
Excellent guide with much artistic knowlege made this a great introduction to this huge museum.
The tour operator was early wearing a City Wonders jacket, which helps tremendously when assigned a meeting point. In addition, the meeting point is very easy to understand, there is no chance for the possibility of it being confused with another area. I upgraded onsite to the semi-private tour as I learned of it from two others waiting at the meeting point (which meant no audio and only five of us in the group!). Our guide was wonderful, she gave us a full overview before entering, and then gradually led us through parts of the museum, explaining in full detail the pieces she brought us to see before moving on. She also gave us a good history of the museum itself as we meandered through the various rooms. It was amazing to see the "stars" of the Louvre that we all wish to see, especially the Mona Lisa. I highly recommend upgrading to the semi-private tour, it was fantastic!
One of the best tour guides that I've ever met. He was such a dedicated, informative, friendly and interesting young man. I've been to the Louvre several times before but Dimitri shared insights that I had never considered before.
A most enjoyable and informative afternoon. Could not have covered all that we did within that period of time without aid. Our guide, Isabel, was marvellous, well informed and her enthusiasm was infective.
There were six of us on the tour, including my ten year old granddaughter, and we all agreed that the tour was excellent. The guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable and made the tour especially enjoyable. She was also good in relating to a ten year old with her commentary. Also, she was very efficient in navigating this large museum to make sure we saw all the major art works while also enjoying lesser known works. I would definitely recommend this tour.
A great way to see the Louvre. The museum is so vast, you need a guide. Our guide was extremely knowledgable about the history of the Louvre and its contents. She gave us plenty of time to see the highlights of the museum. This is the only way to visit the Louvre Museum.

The decision not play the Ireland versus Brazil match in London at Arsenal's grounds while Croke Park was available to Irish fans has angered sports followers in Ireland.
Football Association of Ireland (FAI) chief John Delaney was unable to explain why the organization did not keep the game in Ireland rather than play it in London where there will be fewer fans to attend it.
The Brazil-Ireland fixture, to be played on March 3rd, is a huge bonus for the FAI as the five-times world champions prepare for World Cup action.
Delaney has also been criticized for backtracking on whether he would ever use Croke Park as a venue again, now that the new rugby stadium at Landsdowne Road is almost completed.
Delaney stated that the FAI were told by the GAA that Croke Park would no longer be available and that it would be at least ten years before another soccer game was played there.
However the GAA strongly disagrees. "Go back to the start of all this. Croke Park was only opened on a temporary basis once the FAI and IRFU confirmed that Landsdowne was closed for redevelopment.
"So regardless of what they say now, the FAI was always rebuilding and pressing ahead for their own stadium," a GAA source told the Sunday Independent.

Stainless countertop in older style/period kitchen
Hi Everyone -
I was just responding to another thread about stainless countertops and I thought that after a lot of research and thinking about it and now experience, I'd share my oh-so-valuable opinions (ahem) about putting stainless in a kitchen that has a period look - in my case craftsman look I guess. It's a different look and not many will be doing searches for this but for those that do (as I had searched wildly and came up with almost nothing at the time), it'll be here. :)
There's a LOT HERE so forgive me for going into so much detail please!!
- if you have it done by a fabricator and one that will stand behind their product, it's not cheap and will usually cost about as much - sometimes less - as a good quality wood countertop. I got it because I was always so drawn to the zinc in old craftsman houses e.g. butlers' pantries - and wanted to bring that look about, as well as do something unexpected yet somehow still acceptable in an old house. Oddly enough I think if I had a modern house, I'd never do stainless. Just had to do something a little different and extra courageous for some crazy reason! I often wonder how in-love I'd be with the soapstone I'd planned on going with. I have no doubt that I'd be really in love!! I wish my kitchen could have permitted both. I also didn't go with soapstone cause in the N.W. it would never have been installed back in the day (again, we're pretending my countertop is zinc - haha). I also wanted wood but was afraid we'd get it all gross around the sink and that I'd be fussing about and worrying about it too much. I still long for that wood though, just as I do the soapstone! My compromise is having a wood island top (and I already had fir floors) and I have black accents to bring in that nice contrasty look soapstone would have provided.
- What's so important if you're going for the period look with stainless, IMO, is that you make the countertop hight thinner. Thicker stainless looks more modern. Zinc contertops tended to be thinner back in the day from what I recall via photos. Not a lot - just a little.
- What's also really important and isn't easy to pull off, is that you pay more if need be and get a fabricator that is willing to more or less guarantee you get a silky smooth finish (one that is so smooth because the belts used in making it were well worn as opposed to newer belts). The samples shown at some of the fabricators I visited showed subtle lines in the metal which gives a more modern, gritty, darker look and they couldn't promise I wouldn't get that so I left. The velvety smooth, reflective, almost liquid appearance of the stainless I prefer needs to be gotten for sure, in order for the scratches to melt away as well as to give the room that peaceful, light, almost nickel feel that stainless can indeed pull off if it's smooth and shiny enough. Even after years of lots and lots of scratches, which I know after years of experience with our previous island's surface. Gets better with age in fact. This is the most important point I have to make (well that and a heavy-enough gauge) if you don't want a depressing cold feel. With a good stainless finish, at times it looks almost white! My first countertop was GORGEOUS but they goofed off on the overhang. Their replacement wasn't as nice but it's good enough, glossiness-wise.
- You have to invest in the hardest stainless that can be reasonably bought and it won't dent, and that's 14 gauge. Ours has been challenged by extremely heavy objects and we've been shocked to see no dents after a few big potential disasters! The typical stuff on islands is 18 and most people upgrade to 16 so we took it a step further. Our 18 gauge island top dented a few times, a little. I expected a major price increase but for some reason, no! And obviously you want to make sure it has a good solid surface right underneath to help prevent that denting as well.
- In a period home, stainless needs lots of warmth around it to contrast with and keep it feeling warm and cozy (these are all just my own opinions here!). So either wood floors or a wood island, etc. Maybe cream paint instead of white. And warmer, redder or chocolatey wood goes better IMO than maple (though maple's fine) - it just helps with the golden feel somehow. I think stainless also looks better if surrounded by natural elements from the Earth like marble too (especially marble that's got some tan thrown in for that warmth, like calacatta if I'm spelling that right). And maybe this is just me but I think when it comes to a period-ish kitchen with a stainless counter, the less stainless elsewhere the better. It's been a real challenge to avoid too much stainless but it's the only way I could pull off the look. So our fridge is the only other appliance that's stainless and it's on the opposite wall so you don't really see it when looking at the countertop. The stove and hood are white. Stove is nothing special at ALL but I hope to upgrade to a vintage stove (haha - upgrade?!) someday and when I do it will be either white, cream or maybe blue or red (vintage style at least). Same with the hood (would like to someday get an even nicer but still not-stainless hood someday)...and our dishwasher's integrated so just looks like a cabinet. Also, our kitchen is smaller and North facing. If we had a super huge, bright kitchen, I'm not sure how much I'd like stainless. It might be that I would, but the kitchen that inspired mine didn't seem to be a very bright kitchen either and I loved it in hers, and love it in mine. Here's the kitchen that inspired me re. the stainless with marble in an old house (although I went with marble 2x6 tile and could never ever afford such a gorgeous stove as she got!!):
I think I would love her stainless counters even more if her hood weren't stainless, gorgeous as it is. Such weird little rules I have!!! : - /
- re. low or high-maintenance, it depends on how you look at it and what else you're doing around it. See about cleaning, below. Some put hot pans on it and many say it's okay to do so but I haven't done that yet myself. If I were doing that, I'd say it would have to be a very good countertop option! So far no spills have hurt it and left-on tomato sauce hasn't been an issue in the slightest. With a heavy enough gauge as we have, it can take a lot of abuse. Still no dents after 1.5 years and a crazy wild family and a few accidents with heavy things. It will scratch, though not badly, with normal use, and you'd have to be okay with getting that patina look over time (and this will be really hardly noticeable at all if you get the right, smooth finish to begin with - like glass). In our case, we have a wall-mounted faucet and no dispensers so cleaning behind the sink is effortless. If we didn't have it this way, it might be higher-maintenance, I don't know! Probably no more than other materials.
- re. cleaning and the talk of stainless being hard to clean which I've read in the past: yes and no. Stainless isn't hard to clean at all - in fact it's very easy to clean (things come off easily). For anything stuck on, I use a non-abrasive sponge that has the look of being abrasive (you know, the non-green-colored ones) and it comes right out. My gripe however is that if you're trying to keep it like new which we all tend to do even if we know better, you might want to go with the grain if you have a rougher sponge for general cleaning, or else like I said, get a stainless counter that's extremely smooth and glossy to begin with in which case the grain just won't be noticeable. That part might be seen as a pain to some. People with wood countertops probably experience the same thing. Even though I'm not anal about scratches, i find myself going with the grain for some reason - just postponing the total broken-in "patina" look I guess! ;) I don't like the look of stainless that's been deliberately scratched up prior to being installed. I don't think it looks the same as when it gets done naturally (looks too modern). My only other gripe about cleaning is that if you want to shiny polished look you have to take a dry towel after getting it cleaned/wet and quickly wipe it down in big circular motions with the dry towel before it dries from just the air (or even after it's dried will work, cause there's usually a hint of residual powder if you use Bar Keeper's Friend like I do, and wiping it with a dry towel takes that away). For one long typical countertop e.g. 12' (as opposed to a whole room) it takes me about 10 seconds if I'm being pickier and half that if just a quick wipe down. A lot of the time I don't bother at all but when I'm having company and showing off, I'll give it a quick buff to make it more reflective under the pretty under-cab lights. A lot of other countertop surfaces don't require this so if this is something a home-owner would hate to do, it's probably not worth getting stainless unless they never really care if it doesn't have that ultra buffed, extra shiny look.
Ok there you have it! It's all in one place now, everything I've ever wanted to say and answer (when there have been inquiries) about having a stainless countertop - particularly in an older home. Not easy to pull off if you care about things not feeling too cold or modern but possible with a little creativity! And even then, it's definitely not the look for everyone! Thanks for reading! :) Those of you who also have stainless countertops, please feel free to share your experiences!
p.s. For those of you wondering, I never did get my kitchen painted aside from the lower cabs but plan on starting in the next few weeks, hopefully! That's the only thing left that never got done except for refinishing the wood floors which I'm not worrying about anytime soon.
Haha sorry - I was just looking to see if I could find updated pics which I meant to include (though note I did include links to the kitchen that inspired me!!) and there are a few but they're not much different from other old pics of mine scattered throughout the forum...however at least there's the addition of a small drip rail and new pull-out breadboard! ;) Also the mistakes the past contractor had made are corrected but no one's going to notice them in the pics I doubt. Ok here's one - hope it works (has been a while since I did this!):
What's funny about that pic is that it looks like I have an apricot ceiling which I don't (it's the same avocado beige type color as I have on the walls, pre-painting of course) but it dawned on me that that would be kinda cool - having instead of a white ceiling or even a light-light blue ceiling like many do these days - to have a rich apricot color on the ceiling an no where else! Is that too weird a thought?! Oops - went off-topic there! ;)
Another (wish I'd shot these during the day so people could see how nice stainless can look in the light):
I'm standing on the little kitchen stairs in the corner of the room which leads through a door to the mini-landing of the main stairs...that's why it's such an odd angle!
Remodelfla - you're so sweet but the kitchen is actually dreadful to work in cause that's the only countertop, the stove stands alone with no landing space on either side (door on one side, kitchen stairs leading to the main stairs on the other) and the island's really tiny (24x24") AND the room is small and dark!! 12' x 11' I think is what it is. I also have 3 little boys underfoot so man do I envy those w/ some real space! However it's an improvement aesthetically for sure compared to how that strip looked before. Yikes - I won't even show you (you'll have to dig if you get curious enough)! Heehee.
The color's BM's Fieldstone Gray and I'm contemplating putting it everywhere except walls/ceiling though it'll darken the place even more. But sometimes you have to just go with it (if it's a dark kitchen, go dark instead of pretending it's something it isn't, you know?)! When we win the lottery, we'll knock down the wall between the mudroom w/ half-bath and the kitchen, expanding the room and leading to the back yard. Meanwhile, we'll just continue pretending we're rabbits in our little rabbit hole! ;)
Wow, what a lot of helpful information! The old zinc look you mention -- would that be like the countertops I've heard referred to as German hammered silver?
So do I have this right?
For an older home where you want an evolved-over-time look
I would need:
1. 14 gauge
2. what thickness?
3. A fabricator with an old, worn belt
I remember old silver-looking counters that had like ripples or dimples from being dented. It looked good because they weren't crushed dents with edges, like a smashed bumper, but more like dimples or scoops, like you would get if you sanded a ding out of soapstone. But you say I should get a really hard surface under the steel?
Small, dark, no counter space, tiny island - who cares?! It is absolutely gorgeous. I remember when you first started this project and I was so excited to see how it would turn out (we also own a "character" home). Glad I saw this thread with the final results. I wouldn't change a thing (well, I'd give you 100 more square feet and long counters and maybe paint the ceiling apricot :-) Great job.
Wow - I would trade my 3' x 8' island for your ceiling height & cabinets in a heartbeat. We just need to find some reality show to fund moving the houses from one coast to the other ;)
Seriously, that is beautiful and I expected it to look colder & less inviting than it does. I love those counters. They are gorgeous, you did a great job getting all the details right!
I recently looked at a circa-1950 house with the original kitchen intact with its stainless-steel countertops (including integral sink) and metal cabinets. I wouldn't change a thing. Despite being 60 years old, nothing looked dated. It didn't even look retro. In both style and condition, it looked like it could be new, except that hardly anyone builds cabinets that solidly anymore.
It seems like it will be a challenge for me to find a fabricator with an old, worn belt. So I am considering an antiqued finish, as in the link below.
Can you (or anybody else who is willing to share) give me your thoughts on it?
Also, can you tell me about scratching?
Thanks so much in advance.
Here is a link that might be useful: antique matte finish on stainless
Theresse, how did you find your fabricator? Was it through a kitchen design service? I've called a few local sheet metal fabricators to see how much it would cost, and all of them but one acted like I was nuts (lol). The one who didn't think it was crazy said he couldn't weld in a sink or do the proper edging for a curved (not rectangular) undermount sink, so it would have to be topmount. Which could be fine, but when I emailed him measurements I never heard back.
Your countertops are beautiful --
I have to admit I've been inspired by this thread for a few months now, and it pushed me into ss countertops in my 1920's galley kitchen. I just got a quote back from the vendor, however, and it works out to around 120/sq foot! Is that insane?!? Wondering if anyone else can provide evidence for or against that cost. That's the same quote I got on calacutta gold marble! I feel a little like I'm at square one all over again...
I'm so glad this thread was brought back up again. I missed it the first time around and the 2nd time around because I was really sick (yes, twice in less than 2 months. Actually, I've been sick 3 times in 4 months. It's been a bad winter, health-wise).
Theresse, thanks so much for all the info, especially about the finish, gauge and cleaning. I love zinc counters, too, but have been deterred because it's a softer metal and more prone to dings and could possibly suffer damage from very hot pot (there you go, alex9179.

Alex, re. zinc: from what I learned while researching the various metals for countertops, zinc has the tendency to patinate very quickly and, because it's a micro-thin layer on top of steel, it can wear through fairly quickly and then rust (which is different from patination and Not Good in a kitchen context). However, there are coatings you can use to protect the zinc after it's aged to your satisfaction. Have you looked at the videos and information on zinc counters at www.rotometals.com? They've got a lot of good details & insights.
Zinc is more industrial looking than stainless or pewter:
Oh, circus, that is cool! Forget function -- that form is worth it!
According to "the source of all knowledge" (Wikipedia ;-), German silver is typically 60% copper, 20% nickel, 20% zinc. Monel is something like 2/3 nickel, 1/3 copper, plus traces of iron.

Scientists know a lot about the universe, certainly a lot more than they knew just decades ago. However, in spite of the new knowledge, some profound mysteries remain. One of the greatest mysteries is, what is space anyway? Some scientists finally think they have an answer.
By Marshall Connolly, Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)

Published in Technology
Keywords: space, spacetime, viscosity
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - From school, we are taught that space is a vacuum, a void of absolute emptiness. However, recent studies have proven that this is not at all true. What we regard as space is filled with random molecules and subatomic particles which mysteriously pop into --and out of existence like effervescence in a soda pop. Space is also permeated by waves of radiation of all sorts.
If space were a vacuum, then waves, such as those of light, shouldn't be able to travel through it. Waves require a medium, thus the mystery.
St. Dominic, patron saint of astronomers.
Professor Stefano Liberati, from the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) and Luca Maccione, a scientist at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, think they have a novel answer to the mystery. Their answer is that space is in-fact a liquid with a viscosity near zero.
The answer is elegant and would solve a number of mysteries about the universe, yet it would also prompt new questions.
The idea that space was a liquid isn't new. The concept has been around for well over a century and possibly longer. Over 50 years ago, it was proposed by theoretical physicists, but there was really no way to test the idea at that time.
Now, sophisticated computer models allow scientists to see how the universe would behave if it were a liquid with a viscosity near zero.
The researchers call the new model "quantum gravity" and they explained that the model, when viscosity of the fluid that is space is reduced to near zero, appears to work.
Einstein originally came up with the concept of space being more than just a vacuum, at least from an academic perspective. Einstein suggested that both space and time were interwoven into what was later referred to as "spacetime." So far, the observations of researchers indicate that Einstein is correct.
However, there remain mysteries about space that quantum gravity appear to solve.
Despite the promise of the hypothesis, it remains just that, and lacks physical evidence verified by the scientific community. How that evidence would be gathered is itself a mystery since nobody has proposed any feasible experiments to test the idea.
However, this could happen in the years to come. And if the hypothesis were demonstrated by testing it would necessarily force the rewriting of the Standard Model of Physics.
It seems the more we learn, the less we know.

Tablas Creek Dianthus Rose 2013
Rosé from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
The 2013 Dianthus is cranberry in color, with an expressive nose of watermelon rind, rose petals, plum, and mineral. The mouth is rich but vibrant, with flavors of wild strawberry, pomegranate, plum and lime, and a long, rich finish that is both fresh and spicy. Pair it with Mediterranean cuisine, Spanish tapas, preparations with garlic and olive oil... or just enjoy it outside on a sunny day.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "The aroma of this rose alone wins you over, offering ripe and floral strawberry and spiced cinnamon notes, with succulent but crisp flavors of raspberry, orange zest and smoky mineral. Mourvedre, Grenache and Counoise. Drink now."
Tablas Creek Vineyard Winery
The Perrins of Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas, their importer since 1970, founded Tablas Creek Vineyard in 1990. They chose their 1600-foot elevation site in West Paso Robles' Las Tablas because of its chalky clay soils and its climate similar to the southern Rhone Valley. They imported selected French cuttings of Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah and Counoise and multiplied, grafted and planted their own vines, which they farm organically. This blended wine, in the image of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, is 100% estate-grown and bottled. View all Tablas Creek Vineyard Wines
About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta removes military ban on women in combat, opening thousands of front line positions
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
I think the Israelis tried women in frontline combat units and it didn't work. Same with the Russians IIRC.
s. d. butler
There are certainn complications with women in combat positions. here are a few:
1. Generally, women are only about 60% as strong as men, so they suffer a serious disadvantage on the battlefield when having to perform physical tasks and fighting against men on the other side. If your battle buddy takes a dirt nap, you must be prepared to carry him (or her) out of harms way to a medic. If your battle buddy is a small girl, she might not be able to carry you out of harm's way to a medic. That is a problem.
2. Women and men like to form emotional attachments to one-another that are often a distraction on the battlefield. If your girlfriend beside you gets her head blown off in a firefight, you might become a little too distracted to continue the fight. Plus men will be fighting each other for the affections of a pretty girl in the unit. It can lead to unnecessary emotional tension and moral problems within the organization. Everyone will hate the boyfriend of the pretty girl on the squad if he too is on the squad, as he'll be the only one getting laid while everyone else will have to suffer with hearing all the action. This will cause resentment, jealosy and sometimes violence within the unit. Everyone will want a piece of the action.
3. Mixed sexes together on guard duty at night (gays too) will sometimes be paying more attention to each other than to their security, which will compromise their mission.
4. That will sometimes lead to pregnancies, which will weaken the fighting force unit cohesion when they have to take off for maturnity leave.
5. Life on the front lines is often very austere, without luxuries such as bathrooms and showers, so there will often be a severe lack of privacy for the women. She might have to take a dump out in the open in front of all the men, lol. And shower or sponge bathe outside with them too.
6. In urban and jungle environments, often combat is done in very close proximity with the enemy. In such situations, your sense of smell can be an asset. And odors can be a liability. If you can smell cigarette smoke, you know someone is near was was near not long ago. The same goes with perfume, deoderant, cooked food, and body odor/menstration, chewing tobacco, etc. Personal hygeine often seriously lacks on the battlefield, with a lack of water to wash with, and time and other resources to shower. Everyone is dirty, grungy and generally in a nasty condition, so that could be a problem.
These are just a few examples of the complications of adding women to the battlefield. I'm sure there are others.
Anonymous Coward 32863005
the point is, that they can put women in combat whenever they want to or need to. but, they will have guns, and
they can shoot the enemy whenever they feel like it.
Anonymous Coward 32903826
Yes, they can shoot well, but there's more to war than shooting. There's getting in, and out, and lot's of tough physical assertion, and hauling wounded troops, not to mention having the mental compartmetnalization to be willing to kill people. Anyone who is too compassionate has no place in a combat role. Many women are very compassionate.
