Decorative Elements of Old World Style
Tuscany, a province in the northwest region of Italy is world-renowned for its Sangiovese grapes that produce Chianti Classico wine, one of the most popular vintages in the world. The region is also renowned for its natural beauty - rolling hillsides dotted with pencil thin cypress, deep green olive trees, grapes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and all the wonderful ingredients of traditional Tuscan cooking. The natural beauty of the region is only enhanced by its sunny stucco villas crowned with rich red-tile roofs. From Florence to Sienna, Pisa to Assisi, Tuscany equals quintessential Italian style. Capturing this romantic look has become a favorite decorative pastime of homeowners everywhere and there are certain decorative elements that should always be included to lend an air of authenticity if you wish to adopt Old-World style.
Embrace antiqued patinas
Terra-cotta roof tiles and sun-bleached stucco are the very definition of Tuscan style. Weathered woods and old wrought iron are other favored materials. While you may not be able to clad your home's exterior in stucco or terra-cotta roofing tiles, copy the look to your interiors with aged porcelain and ceramic tiles on floors and backsplashes. Tiled murals in the kitchen or bath are excellent ways to add a touch of Tuscany, as are distinctive pieces of wrought iron wall art or canvas art depicting the Tuscan countryside. Aim for a relaxed, unpretentious ambience
Warm inviting tones should be used for walls, fabrics and furniture. Classic Tuscan choices include burgundy red, eggplant purple, deep brown, ochre and sunflower yellow and shades of green that range from olive to deep evergreen. Repeat these colors in rustic patterns in tapestries, pillows, fabrics and upholsteries.
Rustic wood furniture that proudly displays nicks and dings, exposed beams, unfinished stucco walls, aged shutters, aged copper pots and simple ceramic pottery and pitchers holding bunches of sunflowers are simple ways to add Tuscan style. Leave window unadorned or choose simple canvas or lace panels that add softness without intruding on the unpretentious ambiance. Color washing techniques can impart the look of stucco on the walls. Flooring is simple as well, with weathered planking or ceramic tile adding carefree style. Patterned area rugs with Tuscan or classic motifs add a layer of comfort in bedrooms and living areas.
In the kitchen, choose colored concrete, marble or granite for countertops. Open or free-standing armoires lend an antiquated look and lots of extra storage. A long wooden-table surround by rush-seat chairs offers a place for impromptu and everyday casual dining and accent with earthenware dishes and serving pieces in red, yellow, green and blue. Provide detailing with copper pots hung from racks, wine racks loaded with Italian reds and whites, glass jars full of pickled olives, dried pasta and olive oil, pitchers of fresh flowers and tiered platters and bowls of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Don't let your Tuscan style stop at the door. Graceful gardens, bubbling fountains, stone walkways and driveways, wrought iron gates, overflowing flower boxes and a vegetable patch full or ripe tomatoes and cheerful sunflowers will make your home authentically Tuscan both inside and out.

Modern Vessel How does a modern pirate get away with the ransom?!?
With all the modern day pirates hijacking ships off the coast of Somolia and demanding large ransoms, I dont understand how they get away in the end should the owner pay the ransom.
Say the ransom is paid to the hijackers, then what? do they just leave the ship, wouldnt that give the navy, coast guards, patrols etc, a chance to just blow em up while the ride away in their ship?
What stops the government from just shelling their vessel as the ride away?
Thanks!
Thank you for input thus far!
I am more specifically interested in how one of these large scale scenarios where there are already warships surrounding the highjacked ship would play out, since they could just shoot the pirates once they abandon the ship and head for shore
Because they prefer melting in the crowd, hard to redefine them when they arrive at soil .. at the first place they was a fisher mans who living sea side, after a generation long chaos they turns to pirates.
They still live same villages with other civilians .. with child's, elders and woman's. When they had ransom they simply turn back the land .. question is .. how we can track them?
Somalia soil out of our jurisdiction area. Without U.N's "carte blanche" how we can follow them at land? When military members start follow them on the ground many people gonna die , because encounter with Pirates .. Inc.Civilians .. and for this moment no one wanna saw that.
If we catch them on the International Sea's solution simple, but when they hit the ground .. no sir, we can't follow them at there without a clear order and authorization.
How do modern pirates board a large ship like a tanker?
From a small vessel like a speedboat?
yep, the old hook on a pole trick works; also the traditional grappling iron that you saw in the Johny Depp movies; a iron claw with a line attached; heaved up on deck and catches the rail or the lifelines; one guy climbs up the rope attached and drops a rope ladder to his buddies.
There is also the RPG / rocket launcher...punch a few holes in the ship and threaten to continue if they don't stop and let you aboard.
Vessel Sink Black Ordering a Discontinued Sink Model?
I've been trying to find a Pegasus VSL-16BK black chipped vessel sink. The manufacturer discontinued it in December, and the online places I've found don't actually stock anything. I've had to cancel 2 orders because they couldn't get that particular sink.
Would anybody besides the manufacturer (Pegasus) and Home Depot have this in stock someplace?
Here's a place that doesn't say it's out of stock. Who knows what will happen when you try to order.
There's also a place called csnstores.com that listed a Pegasus VSL-16B. It was a gray and white marble instead of the black. Otherwise, every other place I looked said it was discontinued.

do you think my poem is any good? and can you guess what it's about?
you never know what goes on behind closed doors
where no one can see but the devil's eye spies
you and me can be alone, silence take over
i stare at you from across the room, uneasy, queasy
you will never understand the process of my mind
the thought patterns, the spiral of depression, the uplift of love
and yet you stare back with dark eyes full of light
the optimism in your voice when you tell me the love is no more
riped me apart inside, and yet i remain still as if decay were to take over
my body being the vessel of a battle between heart and mind
you walk away into the darkest corner to disappear forever
i'll shed a single tear for you to burn my cheeks evermore
then sink back into the shell i call a soul
but promise me one thing on your black chiseled heart
remember the way my fingers fit with yours so perfectly
to have perfect slammed into a wall of sorrow.
Wow, this is some deep and powerful stuff. I'm guessing this poem was about you and a previous girlfriend/boyfriend and you're saying that you still can't get over your love for him/her even when the person decided to dump you. The poem reminds we of some sort of desperation as if all you wanted was something for him/her to remember you by.
By the way, my favorite line is "My body being the vessel of a battle between heart and mind." i remembered using a similar line like this for a poem I once wrote about love.
Nouveau Console Could someone experienced in French revise this paragraph for me, please?
I'm sure there will be mistakes. Mostly I have problems with the correct order of words in the sentences (like verbs before or after), conjugations, and whether to and when to use the forms of le versus un verses au. I would really appreciate if someone could correct/revise/give advice on how to fix this paragraph? Merci beaucoup!
"Je voudrais vous faites decorer mon maison. Nous n'avons pas besoin d'un nouveau cuisine, chambre, ou un salle de bains parce que ils sont recemment ete refaits. Dans le salon, nous avons besoin un tv, deux canapes, une lampe, et une bureau. Surtout le tv! Nous voudrions aussi un ordinateur et une console video, mais l'ordinateur est prefere. J'aime vieilles meubles avec les details modernes, donc incluez des decorations de morceaux millesimees. Je veux que la maison soit belle, mais confortable. Je sais que vous ferez un bon travail."
Je voudrais faire décorer ma maison (1), sauf la cuisine, la chambre et la salle de bain qui ont déjà été refaites récemment (2). Dans le salon nous avons besoin d'une télé, de deux canapés, d'une lampe et d'un bureau (3). C'est la télé le plus important! Nous aimerions aussi mettre un ordinateur et une console de jeu, mais des deux, c'est l'ordinateur qui est prioritaire (4). j'aime bien les vieux meubles avec des détails modernes, donc ça serait bien si vous pouviez inclure (5) [...(6)]. Je veux que la maison soit belle, mais confortable. Je vous fais confiance, je sais que vous ferez du bon travail.(7)
1- here 'vous' is obvious in context, so not needed
2- article are needed for room's names, and it's better in one sentence, linked with 'sauf', meaning 'except'
3- we say 'télé' and not 'tv'
4- we use 'prioritaire' (=priority) when we means sth of utmost importance, especially between 2 choices
5- 'incluez' is an order, it's a bit rough, instead "it would be nice if you could..." is more polite
6- I don't know what do you mean by 'morceaux millesimees'. Do you mean 'vintage pieces'? 'Piece' only translate as 'morceau' when it means 'bit', and 'millésimé' only works for wine; instead use 'meuble vintage' or 'meuble ancien' or 'meuble d’époque': when talking about furnitures, 'vintage' more less means 20th century, 'd’époque' means 18th and before, and 'ancien' means all eras.
7- 'Je vous fais confiance' (=I put my trust in you) isn't absolutely needed, but it's somehow politer. It's more an expression in use than to be taken literally.
Also, you said 'décorer' at the beginning, décorer means change the wallpaper, the curtains, everything. If you only mean the furniture, I'd suggest 'Je voudrais changer les meubles de ma maison' instead.
There are different ways that a sink can be installed in the bathroom. It can be self-rimmed or molded into the counter. There are also ones that come with their own pedestal and ones that are made to be on top of a console which saves a lot of space. The latest one is called a vessel sink that looks more like a basin on top of the counter.
Vessel sinks are becoming more and more popular as part of the bathroom accessories in the household because of how it dresses the bathroom up. Contrary to what other people may think, these vessel sinks would have a lot of varieties suitable to different decorating styles that a bathroom may have. The basin on top can take any shape that makes people have more creativity in the décor of their bathroom. The designs also greatly vary that there is no reason why people should worry about finding one that would go with the existing theme they have in mind. There would be vessel sinks perfect for art deco, art nouveau, Tuscan-inspired, rustic, country, primitive and even modern style. What is more important is fitting the right accessories with the type of vessel sink so that the bathroom can have a unified theme.
There are many different materials used for the vessel sinks. Because people know how much impact it has in the transformation of the bathroom space, a lot of people consider it. For those who want a cheaper alternative, there are brass vessel sinks that they can count on. A vessel sink needs to have a mounting ring to be attached to the counter. Aside from that, it is a matter of importance to choose the type of faucet to go with it. brass vessel sinks should be paired with a faucet according to its height. The faucet can be attached in the same counter or in the wall directly above the sink. Just like the vessel sink, homeowners can get creative with the faucet style.
Homeowners should ponder on the type of faucet that would go with their brass vessel sinks especially that it would be quite inconvenient to pair it with something that does not go with it. Not choosing the right kind would result to not being able to maximize the entirety of the sink. There is also the problem of regularly sprinkling water on the other parts of the faucet and the counter. If these areas are always wet, it would result to early decay of the wood or developing waterspot stains in the counter, the wall and the faucet itself.
The size of brass vessel sinks would be dependent on the size of the counter where it would be placed. The size of the counter on the other hand is also dependent on the size of the bathroom. round vessel sinks would take up more space than the others so those who are planning to save some space should stick with other shapes for their vessel sinks.
