Famiglia con due figli adolescenti. Abbiamo soggiornato nella dependance e ci siamo trovati molto bene. La casa è in una via molto tranquilla di belle ville d'epoca, a poco più di dieci minuti dal centro storico. Gentilissimi i padroni di casa. Consigliato!

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Packers' Woodson lands 36th on NFL's top 100 players list
Packers' cornerback Charles Woodson was voted 36th-best player in the National Football League as chosen by current NFL players.
Woodson's slot in the "Top 100 Players of 2012" was revealed Wednesday night on the NFL Network, which aired features on players 31 through 40 on the list.
In voting the previous season, Woodson finished 16th.

Future first ballot HOF Charles Woodson no doubt. Also, watching the rankings on this the past two years, in my opinion, the players sure seemed to overreact to a player having ONE good year (Cam Newton #40) while not giving enough credit to proven players (Eli Manning #31.) I know this is supposed to be a ranking for 2012 but Eli with his proven track record as a two time NFL Super Bowl Champion QB is only ranked 9 better than the ONE year wonder Cam Newton? I don't buy it, especially after some of the crazy rankings they had last year as well.
For that matter, Woodson doesn't deserve a spot this high. He spent much of last season grabbing, slipping and getting outrun. For 2012, I wouldn't put him anywhere in the top 100. Other teams in 2012 will scheme to exploit him, beat him by going right at him. Hope I'm wrong.
I'm sorry but this list keeps getting more and more pathetic. Victor Cruz, with his stupid little dance (Give him a lesson D.D.) was rated like 36th or close to it and Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson were rated BEHIND Cruz! Really?? I haven't watched one episode of that top 100 and won't. It's a horrible list. Now, just watch and see who they have ahead of Woodson.
i agree, sonny. it's a stupid list for nothing but entertainment value.
I know I've said this before in other forums but I will say it again. In theory, the list is based on a players entire track record, but in truth I doubt the player's voting look farther back than the previous two seasons in picking who will
outperform who in the coming year.
Seriously, if you think that someone is guaranteed to play as good tomorrow as they did 3 years ago then you're delusional anyway.
The list isn't a science, it's a popularity contest at best so take it with a grain of salt people and stop getting upset over it.-
the odds are VERY good aaron rodgers will play better tomorrow than he did 3 years ago. same with jordy nelson, jermichael finley, bj raji, tj lang, clay matthews, jarrett bush, mason crosby, desmond bishop and josh sitton.
guaranteed? nope but the odds are very good.
it's not just about 3 years but the direction of the trend over the course of those 3 years. -
After this season, they'll say that Michael Jordan was the Aaron Rodgers of the NBA.
This list is a complete joke! All you need to do is look at the receivers that have been ranked higher than Jennings and Nelson, and you'll know exactly what I mean.

Do you want to be the BEST?
Are you tired of the same stale, boring sounds that everyone is using?
Tired of following the crowd? Read on to find out how to carve your own space in this industry...
There are hundreds of thousands of producers all using the same sounds from the same software and synths, so it is easy to see how so many beats end up sounding the same...
The masters like Timbaland record thousands of their own sounds using everything from rare african drums to paper cups! In fact, they pay producers to sit in the studio for hours, recording new drums for them to use in their next hits record...
Here is what Timbaland told the Daily Star recently:
"I feel like everybody's now doing what I did on 'The Way I Are'. I started it and they followed, so I felt I had to come up with a new style, and I think I've got it. I call it organic.
I'm making music the way I would have done before modern equipment and music recording."
If you are competing for beat sales, radio play or looking to get signed, then you need to bring something new to the table. To make music that blows people away, you need fresh ingredients! You need sounds that have not been over used - and are fresh and original...
Imagine if someone could give you the most creative, original drums you ever laid ears on.. Imagine what you could do with those fresh, killer drum sounds? Your music would instantly start to sound better than ever and you would be the envy of other producers around the world!
It will be easy to create hit beat after hit beat. You will rocket up the soundclick charts, get more sales and your followers and plays will skyrocket. People will start to look at you as the 'next big thing'...
There is a solution to boring sounds. We created the most original, killer drum samples and we named them "Tribal Fusions!"
You have never head drums that fuse together heavy, pounding kicks with african tribal drum hits, and organic percussion. We fused snares with african percussion - mixed by a world class studio engineer!
We made this drum library as QUICK and EASY to use as possible! We named each sample in a logical way, so you spend less time digging for the right sound and more time making killer music!
• 26 Pounding Kicks, 24 Crisp Snares, Snaps & Claps, 7 Hi-Hats
• 26 African Fused Percussion Hits & 8 Powerful Tribal Hits

Before you begin "raking in the dough," you must learn one important aspect
of entrepreneurship... time management. Without time management, it will be
difficult to nurture and aid your company to its projected success level.
After all, "time is money." The first thing you must do in order to achieve
proper time management is to organize your life and your business.
Prioritize everything, even if they seem to be of a trivial matter. Make
"mini" goals to help you obtain your desired goal; these "baby-steps" will
help to ensure that things are getting done, even if they are achieved
slowly. Take time to create an action plan with your employees. Actions
plans are things that everyone must do together in order to ensure likely
success (for example, scheduled meetings, visits, etc.). Once this action
plan is established, assign different tasks to members of your work force.
These tasks help spread out the work, as well as acting as a "mini" goal
towards your ultimate goal. Set deadlines for all your goals, action plans,
and tasks. This will help everyone to stay "on task" and drives the
personal company to perform more speedily. However, remember not to rush
things; "good things come to those who wait." So as you continue your quest
towards business success, remember to organize, plan, and take all the small
necessary steps. "Slow and steady wins the race."

Few things in life are as stressful as a criminal accusation or being wronged by the neglect or intentional acts of others. If you find yourself facing a criminal charge or injured because of someone's neglect, carelessness, or intentional act, the most important thing you can do is to speak to a capable, experienced attorney.
There are many criminal defense and plaintiff's law firms but very few that take the time to really get to know the client and fewer still who are capable of representing their clients all the way through trial. Too often we get calls from clients who were forced to plead guilty to something they did not do or to accept a settlement because the lawyer lacked the skills or experience to take a case to trial. Our firm is different. We take our time to get to know our clients. We have built a solid reputation based on trust, integrity, exceptional representation and an unshakeable commitment to our clients. Whether you have been accused of a federal crime, military crime or state crime, we can help you in defending yourself, preserving your liberty, and protecting your career and future.
Our firm was founded by former U.S. Marine Corps infantry officer and JAG attorney Haytham Faraj. Mr. Faraj has gained a national reputation as an aggressive, unyielding, seasoned trial attorney with an unparalleled record of jury and bench trial victories. He has tried to verdict dozens of trials and has won outright acquittals or obtained better results than any offer of plea or settlement in all of them. He is a proud graduate and staff member of the Trial Lawyers College which was founded by legendary trial attorney Gerry Spence.
We represent clients in state and federal courts charged with:
White Collar Crimes
Terror and Espionage Charges
Violent Crimes
Drug Crimes
Property Crimes
Theft Crimes
Domestic Violence
Computer Crimes
Health Care Fraud
Mortgage Fraud
Sex Crimes
Haytham Faraj began his legal career in the United States Marine Corps defending service members accused of violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). He represented, and continues to represent, men and women in the armed services accused of various crimes and orders violations. The military justice experience paved the way to his success in becoming a highly regarded and sought after trial attorney. He now represents clients in Federal courts, state courts and court-martial proceedings. He also represents military members in administrative separation boards and Boards of Inquiry for officers in the Armed Services.
The experience and successes achieved representing military clients gained Haytham Faraj a national reputation as one of the best known and most successful military criminal defense attorneys in the country and the world. He has represented clients in court-martial proceedings in a variety of cases all over the U.S. He continues to represent service members accused of violating the UCMJ in Article 15 proceedings or Non Judicial Punishment (NJP)(Captain's mast), in summary courts-martial, Special courts-martial and general courts-martial. He represents military clients under investigation or accused of violations of the UCMJ in cases involving:
Haytham Faraj's reputation as one of the top military trial attorneys in the country came from his successes in securing court martial victories in a number of high-profile cases that gained national and international prominence. He achieved those successes and earned that reputation through his tireless work on behalf of his clients and his zealous advocacy for his client's rights. Few other military trial defense attorneys have his depth of professional and legal experience.

These are hosted applications running on cloud infrastructure and benefit from hardware virtualization, but are not optimized cloud applications or cloud application services.

Needle in a Haystack Book Review
By Angela Youngman May 11, 2010, 16:54 GMT
"This is not simply a triumph of style; it is both a reflection on a time of bloodshed and a raw vision of human misery."-Guillermo Saccomanno, winner of the Argentine National Literature Prize"This man knows. He knows about guns, knows about women, knows about dead bodies. . . . But above all he knows how to narrate."-Ana María Shua, author of El peso de la tentaciónSuperintendent Lascano is a detective ...more
Set in Argentina during the time of the dictators; Superintendent Lascano has a difficult role to play. One wrong move and he could find himself on the wrong end of a bullet from his own masters.
Sent to investigate the discovery of two bodies, he finds three. Two are clearly politically motivated and have to be avoided, the third may be a different story. Carefully working his way through the political and social minefield that is Buenos Aires, Lascano discovers that the victim is an embittered moneylender and Auschwitz survivor.
Unfortunately, the hunt for the murderer leads into political arenas which Lascano would certainly prefer not to be investigating. The situation only gets worse when the situation begins to threaten Eva, a young militant, for whom Lascano has developed an affection. Mallo certainly knows the world about which he is writing, since he himself was a former militant sought by the dictators.
It is very detailed, very thorough and not a story which is relaxing or can be picked up and set down easily. You need a lot of concentration for this novel, and it is one which will appeal to anyone who enjoys stories with a political bent, as well as a hard, gritty environment.

Taken by Trees
Taken by Trees
Having served as the group's enigmatic, melancholy frontwoman for over a decade, Victoria Bergsman left the Concretes in 2006 following the release of the group's sophomore album, In Colour. "We'd started to lose our playfulness," she said in an interview with Plan B Magazine's Everett True. "It had become too much of a business." Her departure also came on the heels of the much-hyped release of "Young Folks," the first single from Peter Bjorn and John's third album, which featured Bergsman as a guest vocalist. Bergsman didn't waste any time following her split with the Concretes. Adopting the name Taken by Trees, she recorded four songs ("Tell Me," "Too Young," "Lost and Found," and "Hours Pass Like Centuries") with PB&J's Bj�rn Yttling and made them available online in the fall of 2006. The new recordings found Bergsman abandoning the Concretes' sprightly sound in lieu of a style of somber, stripped-down twee that put her in league with Camera Obscura and El Perro del Mar. Taken by Trees' first full-length, "Open Field," was released on Rough Trade in 2007. Several new songs, including a cover of Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine," were available via Taken by Trees' MySpace site in early 2008. For the next Taken by Trees' album, Bergsman wanted to try something different so she and recording engineer, Andreas S�derstr�m, traveled to Pakistan to record with local musicians. The resulting album, East of Eden, was released in 2009. Her next record was inspired by a trip to Hawaii and the notion of making music that combined the lazily sweet, Hawaiian-inspired "Diamond Head" by the Beach Boys with Augustus Pablo's deeply dubby "AP Spezial." Working again with S�derstr�m and for the first time with producer Henning F�rst (of Swedish duo the Tough Alliance,) Bergsman recorded most of the album on the Island before shifting to L.A., where Dan Horne and Farmer Dave Scher (of Beachwood Sparks) added some sounds to the mix. The finished work, Other Worlds, was released in October of 2012 by her new label Secretly Canadian. ~ Margaret Reges, Rovi

VIDEO: Brian May's anti-badger cull protest song is a hit
Queen guitarist Brian May could be heading for an unlikely hit after his protest song inspired by the badger cull reached the charts.
The song, Save The Badger, Badger, Badger, was recorded by May and internet entertainer Weebl and features the vocals of Brian Blessed.
It has made the top 40 in the iTunes download chart and is the most popular track in the iTunes Store top ten rock chart.
Blessed, who played Prince Vultan in the 1980 film Flash Gordon, which famously featured a soundtrack by Queen, said: "Brian May is absolutely inspirational and together we will beat the dark forces and save the badgers."

Around 5,000 of the animals are expected to be killed in controlled shootings over six weeks in Somerset and Gloucestershire.
Supporters say the cull is needed to tackle bovine TB, which can be spread from infected badgers.
Those against the cull, including the RSPCA and wildlife organisations, say it is ineffective and inhumane.
May said: "The British people are speaking in their many thousands, and yet the Government is refusing to listen. We thank them for buying this track and giving the badgers a voice."

As lead sponsor in House on gun legislation, Rep. Diana DeGette appears to not understand how they work

But Tuesday at a Denver Post forum on the gun control debate, the senior congresswoman from Denver appeared to not understand how guns work.
Asked how a ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds would be effective in reducing gun violence, DeGette said: Read more…

Gynecological and Menstrual Conditions
This initial visit and yearly visits thereafter are geared towards promoting good health, screening for problems in adolescent girls, and helping open the lines of communication about healthcare between the physician, parents, and the young woman. Adolescents who are sexually active will need additional services, including a pelvic examination and testing for sexually transmitted diseases. Many of the conditions that affect gynecological, reproductive, and sexual health may be detected early, which, in most cases, provides for a more positive prognosis and successful treatment.
There are many gynecological and menstrual conditions that affect adolescent females and require the clinical care of a physician or other healthcare provider. Listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.
If you cannot find the information in which you are interested, please visit the Adolescent Medicine Online Resources page in this Web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.

Solar power is emerging as a legitimate resource for all kinds of uses, from inside our own homes to the rest of the world. It only makes sense that outdoor gear manufacturers would take notice, as the outdoors and solar power go hand in hand. Access to solar panels and accompanying gadgets is becoming more widespread, and you can get your hands on a starter kit for right around $100. While a solar panel will most certainly charge your portable electronic devices (be prepared for longer charging times), there's several clever gadgets and accessories that will make sure you're getting the most out of your new green gear!
GoalZero Rechargeable Spotlight – $32.95
There's no greater need for a solar panel than to provide light, as even your cellphone can fall short when it really matters. Never mind the amateur antics when it comes to shining light on a project with the dim glow of your cellphone! You need lighting that will work in a variety of situations, which is where the GoalZero rechargeable spotlight will come in ultra-handy. With its pistol grip, powerful 180 lumens, and 3-hour burn time, this rechargeable spotlight is a valuable piece of gear to have in your solar arsenal. It also includes a 12V car adapter for quick charging when you need it.
GoalZero Rock-Out Rechargeable Speakers – $29.99
Take the music with you wherever you go with this solar-powered set of rechargeable speakers from GoalZero. A wooden sound box and bass speakers make for full, quality sound from your phone or media player. It has its own internal battery so you don't have to worry about your device's power being drained, and when not in use, the speaker simply zips up, protecting its contents from shock. The back of the case features a stretchy drawcord that you can use to keep your device attached to the speaker, and the rugged case is weather-resistant, meaning a little wind and rain won't be enough to put it down. This little speaker can also be charged with a USB cord for faster charging time.
GoalZero Torch Solar Crank Flashlight – $34.95
The Torch solar crank flashlight from GoalZero is the ultimate in versatile outdoor gear, as there is not only more than one way to use the Torch, but a variety of charging methods as well. You can operate the Torch in either flashlight or floodlight mode, with 4 20 lumen LEDs on the top and 18 on the side, giving you a softer or brighter light according to your needs. It can be charged with its included solar panel, wall outlet, 12V car adapter, or a dynamic hand crank on the back of the instrument. That's right, you can use real elbow grease to power your light! One minute of cranking will afford you 10 minutes of light, so keep your cranking arm strong in case there's a rainy day! This is our favorite piece of solar gear on the list for its ability to independently provide power in a disaster or survival situation. For the price, its value can't be beat.

Listen, we're sure Betty White is a lovely person, and yeah sure, she's funny but can we please stop with the increasingly pathetic love-in for her?
As the casting begins to take final shape for "Men In Black 3," rumors are flying fast. Following yesterday's news that Sharlto Copley, Gemma Arterton and Alec Baldwin are in negotiations to join the film, we get news today that Betty White will appear in a cameo in the film as a character's mother. Just great. Will she spout an Internet joke or say something sort of suggestive? Probably.
Oh yeah, as for the rumors around Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, she is circling the role of Devil Girl. Ooooh! And Emma Thompson is apparently not quite locked in with negotiations still underway for her take the part of Agent Oh.
With the film set to begin shooting later this month with a release date of May 25, 2012 lined up, we can't wait to see how the still-relevant cultural touchstones of Betty White and Nicole Scherzinger will play out two years from now. [Bloody Disgusting]

Houston Texans: 5 Ways Matt Schaub Can Out-Duel Peyton Manning
By (Correspondent) on September 18, 2012
1,237 reads
Matt Schaub and the Houston Texans face familiar former AFC South foe Peyton Manning in Week 3 in a matchup of two AFC playoff contenders.
Schaub and the Texans are coming off of two dominant blowout wins and appear to be in midseason form. The Texans have not faced Manning since the 2010 season, but should be better-equipped now more than ever before to keep pace with a Peyton-led offense.
Manning and the Broncos enjoyed a successful debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but struggled in Week 2 in a loss against the Atlanta Falcons.
Both former Pro Bowlers will face fast, hard-hitting defenses with the ability to get to the quarterback. Fans should expect another intense duel filled with a few big plays and plenty of drama, as there always seems to be when these two quarterbacks hook up.
Here are five ways Schaub can out-duel Manning this Sunday.
Hand Off to the Running Backs
Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
Arian Foster and Ben Tate should be relied on again by the offense to run the ball frequently and soften up Denver's defense. The two combined for 40 carries in Week 2 and 31 carries in Week 3. It's possible the duo could be relied on to carry the ball somewhere closer to 40 this week.
Keeping Peyton Manning off of the field will be essential. The Texans were able to limit Jacksonville's offense to only 16 minutes on the field last week.
The Texans shouldn't be expected to duplicate that level of success again, but building a game plan around controlling the clock will be the best recipe for success this week against Manning.
More Vertical Passing
Phil Sears-US PRESSWIRE
The Texans should look to incorporate more vertical passing in to their offense this week. This element was missing last week, but it also wasn't necessary with the level of success the team had running the ball.
Picking up chunk yardage through the air will be more important this week, as the Texans will face the best passing offense they have seen all year. Matt Schaub should be expected to involve Andre Johnson in the offense more, after recording only three catches for 21 yards in Week 2.
The Texans didn't record a reception over 18 yards last week, which could become problematic if that were to repeat in Week 3. Schaub worked mostly intermediate and short passes, which seemed to be the game plan when pass plays were called.
Andre Johnson, Lestar Jean and Keshawn Martin are all capable vertical threats in this receiving group, and Schaub should look to push the ball down field to these receivers in Week 3.
Derek Newton Must Protect Schaub
Thomas Campbell-US PRESSWIRE
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak has put together well-designed game plans aimed towards protecting his right tackle, Derek Newton. Newton will be making only the third start of his career this week, and he'll be tasked with blocking one of the best speed rushers in the NFL.
Von Miller will take snaps against Newton, and the young tackle cannot allow him to wreck Houston's offensive game plan.
Kubiak will likely continue to help Newton by moving the offensive line and keeping Denver's front seven guessing. The Texans used screens to both sides and to several different targets to keep Jacksonville from getting comfortable all afternoon in Week 2.
Newton will see an immediate upgrade in competition this week facing Denver's rushers. Matt Schaub needs his young right tackle to respond to the big challenge facing him this week.
If the Texans want to have a functional passing game on Sunday, Newton will need to play his best game yet.
Limit Turnovers
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
It should go without saying entering any football game, but limiting turnovers will be key to the Texans having any chance of winning in Denver in Week 3. Turnovers on the road are especially crippling, and giving Peyton Manning extra possessions will just about seal your fate.
The Texans have yet to turn the ball over in 149 total offensive snaps this year. The key to the Texans domination so far has been their ability to hang on to the football.
Matt Schaub touches the ball every offensive snap, so he deserves credit for running the offense without turning the ball over.
The Texans haven't given opponents extra opportunities, and this trend needs to continue in order to have success this week.
Defense Must Continue to Dominate
Dale Zanine-US PRESSWIRE
The Houston Texans defense has dominated through two weeks, and Peyton Manning will be the unit's biggest test right away.
The Texans have faced some of the league's least explosive passing attacks to start the year in the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars. Manning and Denver's weapons will be a quality measuring stick for just how good Houston's defense really is.
Matt Schaub and the offense have relied on the defense to smother opponents. This dominance has opened up the playbook when the offense is on the field.
The Texans haven't been forced to come back from a deficit, nor have they had to run the ball in a close game, all thanks to the play of the defense.
The Texans could see both of these situations Sunday, but if the defense continues to dominate, it'll be much easier for Schaub to out-duel Manning.

33-year-old Mariam Billow Jimcale knows better than most the tragic effects of the drought in Kenya. Mariam lives in Kalicha in the Rhamu Division of Mandera, in a one-room hut made from sticks and palm leaves with her husband and their six children. Her husband works as a casual labourer while Mariam earns a little money selling firewood. She has to walk for many kilometres to find the wood but often returns home empty handed.
Mariam once had her own livestock but they were lost to the cycles of drought in Mandera. "I used to have a herd of goats that gave me a ready supply of milk and meat," said Mariam. "But they are now all dead and there is no meat or milk, so my children are hungry."
Food is unaffordable
The drought has caused crops to wither and die and many basic food items such as maize are no longer available in the markets. Worse than that, the cost of food has risen dramatically and is now unaffordable for most people.
"Milk used to cost 30 shillings but now it is 100," said Mariam. "Meat was 70 shillings for half a kilo but the cost of this has doubled. If this situation continues for much longer we may have to migrate to an area that has water and pasture. Life is difficult but we are praying to Allah to make things better."
As the drought deepens and the price of food continues to rise, many local people have taken drastic measures to deal with the shortages of food, from reducing the number of meals they eat, to migrating across the border into Somalia in search of water.
Tackling malnutrition
Tragically the rates of malnutrition, especially amongst young children, are still rising and in some areas are now at 35 per cent - well over the emergency threshold of 15 per cent.
Mariam's four-year-old twins Nima and Noor are malnourished and are now receiving supplementary food and healthcare as part of Islamic Relief's nutrition programme in the region.
Islamic Relief is currently providing highly nutritious supplementary food to many malnourished children and pregnant women. Our health teams visit local villages to assess which children are at risk and in need of medical care. These children are referred to Islamic Relief's supplementary feeding centres for treatment including highly nutritious food and urgent healthcare for other medical problems such as diarrhoea and respiratory problems.
"Were it not for Islamic Relief coming to my village I would not have realised that my children were malnourished," said Mariam. "Luckily they were admitted to the health centre where they are receiving food and medical care, and they are now recovering well."
Unfortunately the prognosis for Mandera over the coming months is not good. The long rains in April and May were very poor, and it is likely that the forthcoming harvest will not be sufficient to meet the needs of the population with the tragic consequence that food shortages will increase and rates of malnutrition will rise.
Islamic Relief is working with communities across East Africa who are affected by the food crisis. To help us continue this life saving work please donate today.

I could really use some great advise, as I just can't seem to choose between Absolute black honed granite or soapstone. I live near Seattle and the only soapstone available is gray or green from Brazil. The sample I have chips and scratches easily but it doesn't look very pollished or "finnished". It's just a beat up sample which makes it difficult to see it in it's glory. I have seen the slab in person though and it looks much better. I have heard more bad things about the absolute black honed granite than bad things about soapstone. I have 3 kids and it will get lots of wear and tear. I don't mind the scratches, as I have tested the sanding and oiling and it comes out almost invisable. I am worried about the chipping. Has anyone had soapstone for a few years with it still looking great? All and any advise and pics would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Megpie, I don't have soapstone yet, but am also near Seattle and will be building in the next year. I was hoping to use soapstone as my perimeter counter. Can you tell me what supplier you are going to? I wondered if it would be tough to find here, as I can't seem to find any installed to look at. Good luck.... |
Megpie, most soapstone comes from Brazil and there are different varieties which are all considered "Brazilian" soapstone. Do you know which variety you may have a sample of? The only soapstone being mined in the US is from Alberene in Virginia, and I think I'm right in saying that even they aren't actually mining anymore, but just using slabs that were mined years ago. I've read that no soapstone is being mined in Vermont anymore, even though places sell it under the name of Vermont SS. Other companies use names like PA original, or Green Mountain Original, but I'm fairly sure it all comes mainly from Brazil because the US just doesn't have the supply anymore. Maybe you can get a little bit more info on the sample you have or the slab you've looked at to determine the actual variety it is and whether or not it's what you want in SS. I have a friend who has honed AB and she hates it! When I met with a cabinetmaker and was in his showroom he had honed AB on a display and said they couldn't wait to rip it out. He said that it showed every fingerprint, smudge and watermark. He said they were constantly fighting it to make it look decent. Even though my kids are older, it was enough to make me steer clear of it. There are some other black granite choices out there that can be honed or antiqued and seem to have far fewer issues than the honed AB. Do a search for Antiqued Nordic Black granite, which has had some great reviews as a SS alternative. Also Mamadadapaige and a few others on here love their SS alternatives and used Ocean Green or Virginia Mist granite which was honed. If you look up mamadadapaige in the finished kitchens blog you'll see all the info on her lovely granite. I have Green Mountain Original SS and love it! Kat :) |
You will hate any honed or matte finish if you have kids. The process of honing will also open up the material more and make it even more porous. Just because you seal it, doesn't mean that it won't show everything. I will not sell honed or leather textures any more, I wouldn't put them in my own house. As far as soapstone goes, it is for looks, not for wear. Think about this. Talcum powder is basically ground soapstone. It is very soft, softer than Corian. Not an easy worksurface and must be maintained often. |
Gayl-I found the best selection at Meta in Seattle. They had a green soapstone and two gray varieties; one had more veining that the other. Other places had it like Michelangelo and Oregon tile and marble. It really is nice if you can drive there and look around. They are all within walking distance. The man who is installing mine (whichever I choose) said he doesn't install it very often. Another company I almost went with seems to install it fairly often. They are Johnson Stone Countertop in Tacoma. I went to one lady's house and she has soapstone with a pattern that reminds me of a leapord. It looked nice but there were chips all around her sink. She has had it for 3 years and loves it and said she isn't very carefull with it, hence the chips. She doesn't have any kids though and I do. Hope this helps. |
lesmis. Thanks again. I think you have helped me before recently. Every little bit of information helps. Everyone-I think we, or perhaps just I, have chosen two high maintenance countertops. No matter what I choose I know this and don't mind the maintenance. It seems like when soapstone gets worn it looks ok because it has a rustic stone look and the scratches that occure just blend in with all of the veining. The downside is the chipping. With AB honed it has less variation and less depth (kind of a flat look) and seems it would show more, but probably won't scratch as easy as soapstone and doesn't chip. Hmm...am I answering my own questions? I know the pros and cons, it's just a matter of what flaws I can live with. It really helps to hear everyones experiences so thanks again and please keep them coming! |

Meg, If you can chip your sample easily, I would not install it as a countertop. Even in Seattle, you can get soapstone from one of Dorado Soapstone's locations. Their Beleza is very hard. Or M. Texiera also ships and their Julia is very hard. Have each company mail you their samples and see how they hold up. I would agree with you that scratches are one thing but chips are another. Also, check out Nordic Black Antique granite or Cambrian Black satin granite. |
mklein You may be referring to the softer soapstone used for carving when you say it is not suitable for countertops. It is very common to come by 200 year old soapstone sinks that are in great condition. I am not sure that Corian lasts as long :) My daughters' middle school is 101 years old and the science labs actually have beautiful soapstone lab benches that look as good as my own 2 year old counter.. Although it is 50% talc by content, the rest of the elements that make up soapstone are quite sturdy. That being said, it is not a stone for someone that likes perfection. It will by its very nature show some dings and scratches and one should expect to be accepting of that. As far as maintenance, my stone (higher maintenance Santa Rita) requires approx 4 hours per year to keep it in its dark grey perfection. |
We are just outside Seattle too, and just got done with this process. We too went back and forth between SS and honed granite, but did not have luck with either in this area. A few places were super expensive for fabricating, and others had only green stone. We ended up with an amazing deal on Pietra. Its beautiful, much harder than SS. We found it at NW Stone in Redmond. |
anon girl, what is Pietra? I've never heard of it...is it a granite? |
On the Eastside here, anyone try Crocodile Rocks in Kenmore? I've been emailing them because they are a local contact for Danby marble. They have a variety of SS on their web-site. I'm interested in any experiences with them. |
Pietra is a schist. Some call it soapstone, some call it slate. Its neither. It is a natural stone that is extremely durable. I has SS in my previous kitchen with only 1 child and he destroyed it. Now I've got three kids so I need durability, but I'm not a fan of granite. |

Hi. I used a highly polished black granite in my kitchen and it's terrible. Shows every fingerprint and needs constant attention. It looks beautiful right after cleaning and awful, as in dirty, for the remaining 23 hours and 45 minutes per day. And we have no kids...just two adults. Just a warning. |

I know this was awhile ago. But we have Brazilian Soapstone, and absolutely LOVE it!! And we actually got it from Crocodile Rocks in Kenmore. They have a nice selection and desk areas made out of soapstone, so you can see the wear/nicks. I think if you like soapstone, you love it and if you don't, you hate it. It just depends on if you would be okay with character. Lets put it this way, if you wouldn't mind the scratches on butcher block, then you would LOVE soapstone :-) |

I learned alot once again The double A duo are great singers, el devon wasn't there and I didn't get the desperate step training I wanted(insert sarcasm here). Well it was funny to me, anyway xavi has introduced me to a couple of websites, one website caught my attention, it was set up like a social network , where people could tell there stories on how they've lived. Zane showed the Could factory, i finally now what the name means now. The film was great, I never knew there was a cold factory plant in Chicago period. Prisca showed us her blog and the whole outline was beautiful, she most definitely on the right track, helping people.
Esperanza Rising
Yesterday, I spoke a little about oral tradition throughout history and the importance of verbal communication in the development of society. Ancient tales like the Iliad and the Odyssey were passed on by orators who kept the entire story in their heads. In Roman societies the tribune was the person who stood up in the middle of the city and told everyone the news. Here in North America, indigenous people kept a deep oral history of their people and the words themselves were sacred. With the invention of the Gutenberg printing press stories were no longer kept sacred because they were now more readily available for widespread distribution. Communities and tribes were broken up by the absence of this tradition. This decline in civic dialogue has continued well into the modern era where there is little or no communication even between families. If parents think their kids aren't happy in life they're quick to give in to the anti-depressant drug complex and bypass the more personal act of actually talking to their children. I believe this pattern is a design of a group of people who are trying to deconstruct the family base.
Sorry if I went on too long. What I'm trying to say is that yesterday was very inspiring for me because we all got a chance to speak to each other face-to-face without a computer screen dividing us. It was a great act of sharing and important because this doesn't happen enough in society.
Collective Intelligence Unites to Form… One Big Furi-ous Brain!
(insert special effects here) I learned a lot from everyone on collective intelligence day, like ….
cupcakes + free write = pretty cool poetry, spoken word + singing –> sunshine! for your mind
more about radio broadcasts/podcasts and people like me who are interested and working with it
the incredible tech savviness of some certain students, shown by their videos
I enjoyed myself because being able to see what everyone has to share is something that groups led by some kind of teacher don't always get to do. In short, one big furi-ous brain is pretty cool and not as scary as I (and probably some others) had anticipated.
So far, right now
My idea has changed, once again like the shifting sky, to be about how music (in general) is disrespectful, sometimes to say the least, to women. I think that to focus too narrowly on one aspect of music would make a more dramatic statement but at the same time you lose the point: women in the media are often seen as easily manipulatable, thoughtless, and careless caricatures. Even focusing in on this part of sexism, someone can easily forget that some women do play an active part and even find something to gain in acting the stereotyped part.
Out of the Ashes
In the manner of a certain vocal goddess, lets call her Amy JuiceHouse, I did away with all my ethical standards and relinquished my soul to the process of true creation. Begin with a concrete image, burn it, and let the smoldering ashes guide you like tea leaves at the bottom of a porcelain cup. What I'm saying is that I started off with a clear picture and now have a plethora of possibilities going off into different tangents floating into outer space. Right now I'm in the process of letting gravity pull me back down.
In my post about my "Poison" remix idea I'm sure I was convincing when I wrote how great it would turn out. Don't get me wrong, that remix would have been powerful but it just felt like I wouldn't be utilizing all the tools that I have available to me. So after putting the mirror up to myself I knew that I wasn't going to be satisfied with the final product. I had to cast the line into my ocean of thoughts and try to reel in something that spoke about what I wanted out of this remix.
For some time now I have been on a crusade to reclaim the human mind and body from multinational corporations. I want to rip the blindfold off peoples' eyes and tear the chains from their feet. I talked to people about this before but some are stuck in their ways. I feel like I'm flying down this tunnel…being torn from this world of false claims, blind trust, subliminal messages, and overpowering images and I'm trying to grab as many people as I can so that they can see the light at the end.
My focus will be on the world diet and how it has changed since the introduction of fast food corporations who control the media and influence their "customers" in ways that shouldn't be allowed. One of the first videos will definitely be about the truth behind High Fructose Corn Syrup and how it is in (almost) everything that we eat. If you're reading this please make an effort to decrease your HFCS intake. I will post something that explains why this is something that you need to do if your serious about taking control of your health. I'll keep you posted (as they say).
Salud y Paz (Health and Peace)
Change makes the world go round'
So Ameenah and I have decided to change our film focus to police brutality insted of youth culture. We really wanted to use a song that would make the visuals pop more. Our choice of song is " Beat it" by Micheal Jackson. We will be using this song because the lyrics portray images of fighting but people probably don't connect beat it with olice brutality. The mood would be serious but ironic at the same time because the music is on the upbeat side of things. We believe this film would be more critical of the abuses people face and would spark more thought than our previous idea would have.
Daily Nuggets of Knowledge
Just like some parents I know, you might wonder, "So, what did you do at _______ today?" Well, …..
Began learning how to use TubeTV and what that means for someone who is trying to change a video.
Started the process of how to take an idea for a remix, and actually turn it into something real (!!).
Missing a day of class is generally a bad idea, but here you really miss a lot (for whatever reason.) Maybe the most important thing I learned.
And, one thing I am really struggling with is, is where do you frame and focus the remix? I don't want to miss anything, but we can only spend so much time and energy on this remix.
ElDevons Video Ideas
My idea of my remix video is to come up with a theme of showing how people in africa are suffering over diamonds. My video that I picked was Diamonds on my chain by Fabulous. The song that I picked was Diamonds are forever by Kanye West. My remix is coming along well so far. I started kind of late because I was absent but I have I feeling that everything is going to turn out great.
But I don't want to be a Pirate!
Yesterday evening the class was thrust into the, otherwise unknown, "other" layer of the internet world through the eyes of a ciber-activist, hacker, media-savvy rebel. I speak about the "ciber underworld" that, most people think, exists only for computer geeks or kids who are into anime, or the people us mortals ask for help when our tech problems reach apocalyptic levels. Most of us are used to taking things from the internet for free and/or finding ways around doing things the "legal" way. But I don't think any of us were prepared for what we seen when the veil was lifted and we were exposed to the raw, unpolished, under workings of the web. As Johnny Mac (Jonathon) was guiding us all down this road that he has probably taken countless times all I could think of was the FBI or suits with warrants rushing in and shutting us down. They would shove the PATRIOT act down our throats and crucify us in the name of national security. As terrifying as my predictions were I still felt compelled to let myself fall backwards blind folded and hope fate catches me. It felt so illegal…but sooooo right (or left).
He introduced us to programs like Audio Hijack which allows you to capture ANY audio (yes those are capital letters) that is playing on ANY source from your computer, so whatever output there is. That means you can record audio playing off of the internet, or from any software that you have offline. Pretty snappy!
There was also Zamzar which allows you to take any video or audio from the web and convert it to, virtually, any type of file that is convenient for you to work with. For example, if I wanted to remix something from Go Army I would just insert the URL and choose which type of file I would convert it to. Amazing.
But I think the most inspiring tool jmac showed us was the wikicommons which is a place where people around the world can upload there own media to the web and share it with other people who interested in maybe using that media for another purpose. But I should also mention that there are several different types of Creative Common licenses that are used and it would be best to learn about them before using that media.
So, there's no turning back…we're all jedi knights now. May the force be with you!
Salud y Paz
What I thought about yesterday..
Yesterday we learned a lot about taking stuff from off the web and converting it in other forms.. I think that the media conversion tools are awesome. These tools could basically help anyone looking to convert any form of audio or video. wikipedia/creative commons our great to because they don't just give you a picture, they also give you information on how/ or what why you should use the picture. this creates no confusion between one another.

I was going through the nail art options on here and realized that the most popular ones were French manicure, Zebra print and Leopard print. Since i had a french manicure a couple of weeks ago it was between the two animal prints. I tried the zebra one and...well...the title isn't zebra print nails for a reason! It looked horrible, so i tried doing the leopard and it looks pretty good compared to the first one. I only did the thumb and ring finger because i didn't want it to be too much.
BTW Sorry for the blurriness!!!!
First things first, you'll need:
-Small tip paint brush
-Acrylic paint (Or any other one you have)
-Clear nail polish
-And your main nail polish!!!
(OPTIONAL -glitter nail polish)
Apply the nail polish you picked to be the background. (I picked Marine Scene by Sally Hansen Xtreme wear collection)
Once your nails are dry, take the paint brush and any color paint (I used white) and make random uneven circles and ovals on your nail.
When that step is done, take the toothpick and a black paint and paint on the edges of the circles/ovals. But DO NOT do the complete form! Only parts of it. After add little dots and lines with the same paint.
Wait till the paint drys, (Mine took less then a minute)and apply a clear coat. After that i put a glittery clear blue over. But that's OPTIONAL!
Let it dry and admirer the master piece in front of you :D
