The Best Tablets for Photoshop
A tablet that runs Photoshop smoothly is the ultimate photo editing tool. It runs on touch. The best tablets for Photoshop takes commands via a stylus, is perfectly color calibrated and is extremely convenient. Being lightweight and portable are some of the other characteristics of a tablet which makes it a good companion when you have a habit of editing your images on the go.

Literally, for a busy shooter who loves to do the basic editing himself/herself, a tablet that runs Photoshop makes considerable sense. S/he can make initial adjustments right after shooting a session, in between transfers and when sitting in the hotel room.
Today we shall be looking at a few options. These are in our opinion the best tablets for Photoshop. If you feel that we have missed anything or want to add to this list feel free to let us know.
Please note we are looking at full-fledged tablet options in this discussion. The original Wacom tablet is an incredible input device but it still relies on an external display. Thus any device without a display is left out of the purview of this discussion.
✔ BEST Tablets for PHOTOSHOP
- Microsoft Surface Pro 12.3″ Best for Windows Users
- Wacom Cintiq 13 HD 13.3″ with Creative Pen Display
- Wacom Cintiq 27 QHD 27″ Creative Pen Display Tablet
- Wacom Cintiq 22HD Pen Display Tablet
- Apple 12.9″ iPad Pro Best for Mac Users
1. Microsoft Surface Pro 12.3″
- Surface Pro 4 powers through everything you need to do, while being lighter than ever before
- 12.3" PixelSense touch screen with 2736 x 1824 resolution has extemely high contrast and low glare so you can work...
- 6th Gen Intel Core i5 processor with 4GB memory and a 128GB solid state drive plus microSD slot
- Dual HD cameras(Front 5MP, Rear 8MP) for photos and face-to-face chat; Bluetooth, Full-size USB 3.0, Mini DisplayPort,...
- Go from tablet to laptop in a snap with the multi-position Kickstand and improved keyboard.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 12.3″ is powered by a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5-7300U Dual Core processor. It comes with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD. The 123″ PixelSense monitor has 10-Point Touch Display. The highest resolution you can set it up to is 2736 x 1824 pixels giving it a 267 ppi pixel density.
But is a smaller more compact dimension the perfect way to go forward? Initial impressions suggest that the Surface Pro 12.3″ has a slight edge over the outgoing models in terms of screen real estate. And that too within the same dimensions as the previous models.
The initial feeling is that the type cover has been improved as well. That was a bit of a gray area with the previous model. The Surface Pen has also improved as well.
Some clever redesigning of the design has reduced the thickness (that is, if at all you can call the Surface Pro thick) of the Surface Pro further down from 9.1mm to 8.4mm. There used to be a capacitive Windows button which has now been done away with.
Touchscreen Sensors
Plus, the touchscreen sensors, the pixels, and the whole mechanism have been brought further close to the glass surface. All this has resulted in further slimming down of the Surface Pro. Even then the new screen design is far more effective and far more true color calibrated than the previous Surface 3.
Surface Pen
The new Surface Pen is ostensibly improved than the one it replaces. The design has a flatter side which is easier to hold when in use. Plus this is the surface which has been coated with tiny magnets which allow it to cling to the left side of the tablet.
The touchpad is capable of detecting up to 1024 levels of pressure which gives you an incredible range of inputs possible when editing your images.
Redesigned Type Cover
Almost all photo editors will acknowledge that at time keyboard shortcut is the best option than using a pen. Therefore a sturdy and responsive keyboard is must have even for a touch tablet. In that regard, Microsoft has done a good job of redesigning the type cover.
The type cover is a tag thicker than what we have seen in the previous models. The keys themselves are much more spaced out. Each of the keys now travels a bit further and gives a firmer response which feels great when typing.
Each of the keys is backlit which gives greater convenience when working on a flight or when sitting in a dimly lit room. The touchpad completes the keyboard which has a glass coating instead of a plastic one.
All of these features makes the Surface Pro one of the best tablets for Photoshop.
2. Wacom Cintiq 13 HD 13.3″ with Creative Pen Display
- Enjoy the natural creative experience of working directly on screen;Aspect Ratio :16 : 9
- Pressure (2048 levels) and tilt sensitive Wacom Pro Pen performs like traditional brushes, pencils and markers
- Premium, 13.3 inches, HD Display (1920 X 1080) with wide viewing angle,get a HDMI to Mini Display Port adapter to...
- 3 Position display stand (included)
- Comfortable, compact, lightweight design
The Wacom Cintiq 13 HD is a 13.3″ full HD IPS display equipped touchscreen tablet. The screen has a large 178 ˚ viewing angle. The aspect ratio of the display is 16:9 giving the display a large widescreen effect. The large display area measures 11.75″ x 6.75″. Overall measurement of the device is 14.75 x 9.75″. It is about 1/2″ thick overall.
So far as display resolution is concerned the Wacom Cintiq is no match for the Surface Pro we discussed previously. Even at full HD, the larger display area pushes down the display resolution to 165 ppi. Much less to what we have seen with the Surface Pro.
The tablet has a large 75% Adobe RGB Gamut and supports up to 16.7 million colors. The tablet can be used standalone and comes with a detachable and fully adjustable stand which allows it to be set-up at three different angles – 22, 35 and 50 ˚. In the real world these three angles kind of limits the user. Additionally, there is an HDMI port which allows it to be connected to a larger display for better viewing convenience.
Wacom Pen
The Wacom Cintiq comes with a pen that can detect up to 2048 individual levels of pressure. Plus, it has a resolution of 5080 lines per inch. It has a 40 ˚ tilt recognition. The good thing about the pen is that it does not require charging or batteries. In other words, you have an unlimited editing time with the pen.
Additionally, the Wacom Pen Pro also supports up to 2048 levels of pressure on both the pen tip and the eraser. The design of the pen is very smooth. It can be held and used for an extended time frame without putting too much pressure on your fingers. The package comes with 9 replacement pen nibs along with a nib removal tool.
Four customizable ExpressKeys, plus the Rocker Ring and the home button ensures that you have enough customization options at your disposal for a quick access to features.

3. Wacom Cintiq 27 QHD 27″ Creative Pen Display Tablet
For nearly twenty-three hundred dollars (US) the Wacom Cintiq 27 QHD 27″ is a behemoth, a promise that's too good. The active area of the device is 23.5″ x 13.2″. The display resolution is 2560 x 1440 pixels (QHD) and this is a Pen-only display. This is a significant jump from the full HD display that we had seen with the previous model. Plus, the size and you have a potent tool in hand. Another good thing that Wacom has done is they have changed the aspect ratio from 16:10 to 16:9. The display complies with 97% Adobe RGB color gamut and supports 1.07 billion colors.
Express Remote
There have been some clearly visible changes in the design of the tablet, from what we had seen in the older design. The older model had ExpressKeys which have now disappeared. These used to be around the edges of the bezel. Instead, we now have an ExpressKey remote. There is some prudence of this development. As there are some disadvantages (imagine losing this small contraption).
On the other hand, the remote comes with 17 buttons which can be customized allowing for faster and easier access to important features. Getting used to using the remote in the left hand while using the pen, on the other hand, is going to take time. Battery life of the tablet is a great 160 hours. So in all probability, you may have to charge it only once per week.
The Touch Pen can sense up to 2048 levels of pressure. Apart from the Pen, you can also use touch functions as well. Needless to say, this is one of the best tablets for Photoshop.

4. Wacom Cintiq 22HD Pen Display Tablet
- 22 inches HD Display features a wide format, full HD resolution and extra wide viewing angle
- Work naturally and intuitively directly on screen; Sketch, paint, design and edit directly on the surface of the screen
- Wacom's most advanced pressure and tilt sensitive pen technology replicates the natural effects and experience of...
- Time saving Express Keys, Work easier and faster with customizable ExpressKeys, 1 touch access to your favorite...
More than anything else it is the form factor that makes tablets the ideal device for editing photos. The display of the Wacom Cintiq 22HD is a neat 19.5″ x 11.5″ and it supports up to 16.7 million colors. The overall dimensions of the tablet are 25.6″ x 15.7″ x 2.2″.the display ratio of the 22HD is 16:9. It is a pretty large display which should be a welcome change if you have been using a 15.6″ laptop. Come to think of it the Cintiq 27HD is even larger and rightfully termed as a behemoth. But the 22HD is small and convenient, as rates as one of the best tablets for Photoshop.
Viewing Angle
The viewing angle of the device is promised to 178 ˚ horizontally and 89 ˚ vertically. However, in real life situations, the display isn't hat is promised. It becomes darker quite quickly as you move off axis. In any case, you wouldn't be using this to catch a movie on Netflix. It is not designed for those purposes. This is a professional image editing tool and the true factory calibrated colors is what makes this device a delight for photo editors and retouchers.
Related Post: Best Laptops for Photo Editing under $500
Unlike the 27HD we discussed above, the Wacom Cintiq 22HD comes with 16-user programmable ExpressKeys which should be extremely useful when streamlining your workflow. The integrated Touchstrip Toggle buttons should make it easy for both left and right-handed photo editors to use the device with equal élan.
Ergonomic Stand
A stand at the back of the tablet means you can easily position the tablet at an angle of your choice for maximum viewing and working convenience. You can put it almost flat on the table or push it up standing at 180 ˚ to work as a large display for your laptop. With a molded DVI-H and USB cables and with that a DisplayPort connector you can basically take it and connect with any device, even setting it up to work as an extended display for your main display device.
Wacom Pen
For any Wacom Cintiq or other tablets, the quality of the Pen and the ease by which you can wield it is what makes it suitable for use. The Pen on the 22HD comes with 6 standards, 1 stroke, and 3 felt nibs. The Pen is capable of identifying up to 2048 levels of pressure.
The cons of the device are the somewhat low-resolution HD display which is now becoming obsolete. Also, the prominent bezel makes the 22HD appear much larger than what its display warrants. You need a better surface to work on and not a more imposing size.

5. Apple 12.9″ iPad Pro
The newly launched 12.9″ iPad Pro is the latest iteration of the world's favorite tablet. It is powered by an Apple A10X 64-bit SoC + M10 Coprocessor and comes with the latest iOS 10 preloaded. The device is compatible with the upcoming iOS 11 to be launched later in September. That upgrade will give the tablet a slew of new features.
Though it does not come with a large display like the Wacom Cintiq's that we discussed above, we decided to include the Apple on this list because it remains one of the more popular choices. With Lightroom and Photoshop available on the Creative Cloud model, an increasing number of amateurs and enthusiast photographers are looking to install these applications for processing RAW frames. The Apple iPad with its powerful processor, refresh rate, and Retina display is a clear choice among small screen sized devices.
The Apple 12.9″ is certainly a robust and extremely convenient device to use. The 12.9″ Multi-Touch Retina display is a joy to use. The screen gives one of the top display resolution among all the devices that we have listed here – 264 ppi (2732 x 2048 pixels).
The new iPad 12.9″ comes with a maximum built-in storage of 512 GB with the top model. That should be enough for several days of shoot and several time-lapse sequences. You can obviously buy the cheaper options but they come with less storage.
Apple Pencil
The device is compatible with the Apple Pencil – Apple's input device. The Apple Pencil is no Wacom Pen. It is both pressure and angle sensitive. Having said that, pressure sensitivity and levels are nowhere near to what you would get with the 22HD or the 27HD. But still, the Apple Pencil is no pushover. The technology works in tandem with the iPad touch sensitive surface and the faster refresh rate to pixel perfect efficiency.
The small size of the tablet is both an advantage and a disadvantage. On the plus side, it is extremely portable. It is the sort of device you would want to carry with you everywhere you go. Then again, for editing images, a larger screen size is better.
An important piece of tool that is missing (still) on the new iPad case/keyboard is the trackpad. The trackpad is the preferred input option when working on images and making intensive edits or scrolling through images. For some reason, the keyboard casing still does not have a trackpad. Yet, the Apple 12.9″ is one of the best tablets for Photoshop.

Forty tenants kicked out onto streets
Up to 40 tenants living in two overcrowded houses in Dublin's north inner city were told to pack their belongings and leave within 24 hours.
The incident happened in Summerhill yesterday when a young man, who claimed to be acting on behalf of the owner, told the tenants there was a "fire safety issue".
Tenants were told the owner would return their deposits of up to €500 at a later date. However, the tenants said they have never met the owner and had been paying their rent to a Brazilian man believed to be subletting the property.
One tenant provided a copy of email correspondence with a company called Golden Rose Accommodation. Nobody is listed as a director of the company and its contact number is no longer in use.
Tenants were in a distressed state outside the house as the majority were left with nowhere to go. Pedro Martinez (25) said: "We were told originally that there would only be six people in the house but there are five in the basement, eight in the middle floor and five up in the attic.
"We had been raising concerns about the lack of emergency exits and fire safety stuff and then suddenly, the guy comes along saying we need to get out."
The man trying to evict the tenants would not respond to questions about whose instructions he was acting on.
Representatives of voluntary organisation Dublin Central Housing Action were there in support of the tenants.

Gordon Chen, MD and others at ChenMed have done the DPC movement (and primary care in general) a data favor with their new study entitled High-Touch Care Leads to Better Outcomes and Lower Costs in a Senior Population. While ChenMed uses a Medicare Advantage model (similar to Iora Health) that is not common for stand alone DPC practices, there are lots of similarities that are worth observing. Their data reviewed care for 17,711 patients receiving care between 01/02/2014 and 03/27/2015. Their model is also discussed in this article from "The DO."
The authors of the study describe "high-touch care" as a model that "delivers care through very frequent patient-provider encounters aimed at preventing or delaying the occurrence of complications of chronic conditions" based on seven pillars:
1) A preventive cardiovascular program
2) (In most states), on-site medication dispensing by providers (ref your dispensing page)
3) Smaller patient panels of approximately 450 patients per primary care physician
4) Very frequent encounters, with a mean of 189 minutes per year of face time
5) An advanced electronic health record system
6) Courtesy transportation for all patients; and
7) Walk-in hours
I think the seven pillars above apply to most DPC practices. I would make the argument that "high-touch" care and "direct primary care" have essentially the same clinical and economic outcomes. DPC physicians might not routinely offer courtesy transportation for our patients, but house calls are a routine offering. We spend lots more face time with our patients as well, as I have argued here. The study is certainly worth a read. I've attempted to summarize some of the results they have displayed below.
"High-Touch" (DPC) Standard
Preventive CV Care Yes No
EHR Yes Yes
UC No Yes
Labs/Imaging No Yes
Onsite Meds Yes Yes
Panel Size 450 1,000
Avg Yr Face Time (minutes) 189 90
Transportation Yes No
Age (Mean) 67.8 57
Female 61% 57%
Aspirin 41% 0%
Statin 64% 42%
Diuretic 51% 24%
Median PMPM $87 $121
Hospital Admissions 0.10 0.20
Note that many of their traditional numbers are much friendlier than the traditional health care system at large. I would suspect that a standard patient panel would have something closer to 2,000 patients and have maybe thirty minutes per year of face time with the patient.
To the folks at ChenMed - keep up the good work!

May 12. Father and son duo Rick and Ashley, known as The Storms last appeared here just six months ago and for many it seemed like a friend's reunion. Their friendly approach was a nice touch and they spent time before the start and during both breaks going round the tables chatting to everyone who wanted to. However, I thought it was inappropriate for them to continue doing this during the club announcements and raffle.
Compère Danny had placed on the tables what appeared to be a running list of the songs to be played with their respective line and partner dances. In the event they weren't all performed and older numbers not so much aimed at the dancers were included which resulted in three entertaining sets that contained a contrasting mix of currently popular songs such as Ride With Me, Down On Your Uppers and much older favourites such as King of the Road and an excellent version of Don't Close Your Eyes, well sung by Ashley. Rick's impressive vocal range was demonstrated in successive numbers with a hint of yodel in Start Over to a much deeper sound in I Love You Because, which had some of the ladies swooning a bit. The Storms received good applause throughout and ironically Danny concluded the evening with a warning about flooding in the car park due to a heavy rain storm.
Finally, in view of comments received, I would like to confirm that although the paragraph and photo regarding the late Mary Bowen appeared alongside the Claws and Paws CMC report in the June Cross Country the item was initially appended to my April report and it was the Best of British CMC that she regularly attended.
Dave Goddard – DJ Best of British CMC
Answering Cross Country's call to hear about people in the clubs I would like to give an extended mention of our DJ, Dave Goddard. His interest in being a DJ started in the 1970's when he worked for a company servicing and installing jukeboxes. A side line was building and operating disco equipment and at weekends he would go out with a Transit van and the company disco to DJ private parties, weddings etc. At that time disco and the Bee Gees dominated the music scene. Subsequently he joined the telecoms industry but retained his love of music of all kinds. In the late 1980s he moved to Sheppey, Kent and discovered a Country Music Club where he became interested in the line dance craze. It wasn't long before he had started compering and DJ work at two local clubs.
One night at the Best of British club John, who ran the club with his wife Mary, asked Dave if he could help out with the DJ spot due to his failing health. He immediately agreed and since John sadly passed away he has continued playing the music and has now been the club's DJ for the past three years. Dave also occasionally DJs at garden parties for one of the members who used to run country clubs. Now 67, Dave has been spinning discs for 46 years, still loves doing it and hopes to carry on for a long time yet.

Iran's Zarif Urges EU to Get More Active in Implementing JCPOA
TEHRAN (Press Shia Agency) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that in his meeting with EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini, he has called for Europe's more active role in implementing the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Speaking to reporters in the Uzbek city of Samarkand on Friday, Zarif pointed to topics discussed in his meeting with Mogherini earlier in the day, and said during the session, she briefed him on the European Union's efforts to fully implement the JCPOA and highlighted European countries' determination to carry out the deal.
Zarif added that in the meeting, he also stressed the need for the EU to play a more active role in implementing the JCPOA and take practical actions in this regard.
Zarif was in Samarkand to take part in the international conference on security and sustainable development.
The Iranian top diplomat's visit to Uzbekistan was part of his tour of Central Asia, which had taken him to Tajikistan earlier.
Concerns have been growing in recent weeks that the US administration unilaterally scraps the nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).
In a major confrontational stance against Iran on October 13, US President Donald Trump refused to certify the multilateral deal on Tehran's peaceful nuclear program.
Speaking from the White House, Trump said he will choose not to certify that Tehran is complying with the agreement.
The 159-page nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) was reached in July 2015 and came into force in January 2016.
Since the historic deal was signed in Vienna, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeatedly confirmed the Islamic Republic's compliance with its commitments under the JCPOA, but some other parties, especially the US, have failed to live up to their undertakings.

Mission, Charism and Catholic Identity
Published on Jun 30, 2018
As we look forward to transitions in our institutional ministries, we often turn to conversations about the importance of Mission, Catholic Identity and Charism in the history and service of our institutional presence in the community. But what are the core elements of this Catholic Identity, and where might we find guidance for it? For generations, our religious institutes have served generously, and the charism, identity and mission flowed through our veins and inhabited every aspect of our service in our ministries of healthcare, education, social and pastoral service. As our personal presence as sisters and brothers becomes more limited in these ministries, we seek to ensure that our legacy continues.
Our ministries are rooted in the Gospel and in Jesus own life of service, teaching, healing, governing and sanctifying. Jesus sends all Christians into the Church and the world to lead lives of service, patterned after his own ministry. As religious institutes, we have been privileged to do this in an institutional way. In the US, religious institutes were the catalysts in the establishment of expansive networks of Catholic healthcare, education, and social services and spirituality centers. This was done through the hard work and dedication of religious, along with lay colleagues.
We seek to ensure the ongoing viability of Mission and Catholic Identity we seek
- A critical mass of individuals deeply committed to Jesus Christ and to Gospel values, who form vital communities of faith, prayer, and service.
- A commitment to imbue every phase of the ministry with the leaven of the Gospel.
- A commitment to serve as Jesus did, teaching, healing, guiding and sanctifying.
- A commitment to maintain the bonds of communion within the Church and to reach out in respect to the broader community.
These elements strengthen the vitality of Mission, Charism and Catholic Identity when they are present in the ministry's core documents, in its governance, in its programs and physical plant, and most especially in the lived experience of all those who server and are served at the ministry.

Words Worth is very happy to be partnering with The Porcupine's Quill with the exclusive launch of Karl Kessler & Sunshine Chen's new book, Overtime!
The book charts the changes in industry in the Waterloo region, as manufacturing has been giving way to technology, and speaks with some of the local people who are persisting in what some would argue are dying fields. Packed with 50 stunning black and white portraits, Overtime is a snapshot of a period of change in our region.
From the back cover: "Karl Kessler and Sunshine Chen document the lives of men and women who practice vanishing trades, professions and cultural traditions in the cities and townships of Waterloo Region, Ontario.
When was the last time you visited a shoemaker? A watchmaker? A tailor? Have you met a sign painter, a typewriter mechanic or a shirt factory worker? Do camera stores and independent department stores still exist in this day and age? What exactly are the principal responsibilities of a town clock keeper?
As automation and modernization bring to the brink of extinction many twentieth-century ways of making a living, we find ourselves in danger of losing the accumulated skill of generations of Canadians. Through the compelling photographs and moving interviews in Overtime, Karl Kessler and Sunshine Chen give voice to fifty proud workers and artisans based in the heart of Southwestern Ontario, preserving their stories for generations to come.
Researcher and writer Karl Kessler works in the heritage field and coordinates the annual Doors Open Waterloo Region event. Sunshine Chen trained in architecture and is interested in connecting people with their own stories, and understanding how those stories add to the richness of individual experiences."
Please join us at the Button Factory on Thursday, November 8 from 7pm to 9pm as we launch this soon to be classic book.

The precious stone is placed on the foot of the Lord. It' is believed that the stone was brought here by some Devathas (Angels).
The second say is that Lord Venkateswara Swamy along with Goddess Padmavathi Devi visited and stayed at this place for a while during their journey to Thirumala. There is an ancient pond beside the temple. Near the pond a huge foot impression is there on a rock it is nearly 3 feet long.

A desire to connect to our past is a part of all us, no matter who we are or where we come from. To know where our ancestors called home, to understand what their everyday lives were like and to appreciate what they achieved during their lifetime allows us to paint a picture of the seeds of our own selves and is a natural step in trying to finding meaning in the brief time we spend on earth.
That desire was most certainly present in my then husband Bob when we traveled to the Marche (mar-ké) region back in 1981. The origins of his surname had generated considerable discussion in the Barocci household over the years, but the family was aware of only one other Barocci (other than immediate family) that bore their surname. That was Federico Barocci, the famous Renaissance painter and printmaker born in Urbino, Marche. We were in the area, so why not visit the painter's birthplace? Even if we discovered nothing in particular about the Barocci name we could at least wonder at his paintings housed in the famous Palazzo Ducale, long considered one of the finest collections of Renaissance paintings in all of Italy.
Bob, Paolo and I were visiting close by Ravenna so the drive would be under two hours. I had never seen any original Federico Baroccis, but my ex-mother-in-law – Mary Barocci – would send a card every Christmas with a reproduction of one of his religious paintings on the cover. I incorrectly assumed that this gesture indicated evidence of a family connection but later learned that sending those cards was nothing more than a sincere appreciation of the artist's work (and perhaps some wishful thinking!). So on to Urbino we went. Bob joked that he wanted to walk its cobbled, narrow streets to feel the presence of what he presumed would be some ancestral murmurings. We were all game and a little excited to be included on what felt like a familial treasure hunt.
Urbino is an imposing Renaissance town sitting on a high sloping hillside. It was quite cold that morning with threatening clouds looming on the horizon so it was not to be a leisurely stroll. We parked at the base of the village, but to get to the center of this village perched high in the mountainside we had two choices – either to slog up the very steep main street or to take the lift inside the information office to the top of the town. We of course, chose the latter. It was too cold for long slogs.
Urbino's vibe of historical importance became clear to us as we made our way through its narrow streets. My partner Paolo – always the well-informed guide – briefed us on the history of the town especially highlighting the cultural flowering in the 15th century under the most famous of the Dukes of Urbino, Federico da Montefeltro. He was a passionate enthusiast and patron of the arts and his influence defined the city under his rule and is still felt all these decades later. A diptych of the Duke painted by Piero della Francesca is one of the most famous works of art of the Italian Renaissance. It depicts the Duke and his wife Battista Sforza staring deeply (or so it appears) into one another's eyes. It still hangs to this day in the renowned Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
Our first stop was the Palazzo Ducale, A UNESCO World Heritage site and the town's most important monument. We were especially interested in the National Gallery housed in the Palazzo where we could view the Federico Barocci paintings hanging in the context of other famous painters like Raphael and Titian. Barocci mostly painted religious works especially alter-pieces and Madonna figures. I was certain I recognized some of his paintings from the Christmas cards Mary Barocci sent.
Fortunately (and characteristically) for us, such intense cultural appreciation stirs not just the imagination but also the appetite. Before we continued our "Barocci search" we decided it was time for a little lunch. Down a quiet side street not far from the Palace we discovered a cozy rustic restaurant whose name I cannot remember, but whose atmosphere warmed us up and fit our contemplative mood.
I ordered a soup called Lumachelle all'Urbinate and according to our waiter, the soup was also referred to as Piatto alla Beatrice Sforza Duchessa d'Urbino named after Beatrice Sforza, the daughter of the famous Duke of Urbino (1475-1497) considered one of the most beautiful princesses of the Renaissance. Many Urbino dishes he told us were named after the Duchess; "perhaps her beauty inspired chefs to name dishes after her…" Paolo whispered in my ear "…because I'm certain she never came near a kitchen".
This soup was delicious. The pasta Lumachelle (little snails), along with an assortment of Italian sausage and chicken livers typical of the region, made for a satisfying but still light lunch. Of course, we required lots of bread to mop up every drop of the soup, so maybe it wasn't such a light lunch in the end!
Zuppa all'Urbinate.
Serves 6 – 8
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoon finely minced onion
1-½ cups diced carrots
2 cups cabbage cup into strips
2 mild Italian sausages squeezed out of their skins and coarsely chopped
2 – 3 chicken livers chopped into small pieces
1 cup of diced tomatoes drained
4 cups beef stock
salt and pepper
small pasta like small shells, lumachelle or cavatappi- any small pasta could be substituted.
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the onions and sauté until soft – approximately 1 minute. Add the sausage and sauté another 2 – 3 minutes until it has lost its raw red color. Add the chicken livers, carrots and cabbage and sauté for approximately 5 minutes mixing and stirring constantly. Add the tomatoes. Continue stirring and simmer over low heat until all ingredients have melded. Add the beef stock, salt and pepper and continue simmer for another 10 – 15 minutes.
In the meantime cook the pasta al dente and set aside. I prefer not to cook the pasta in the soup but rather cook it in water and add it to the soup right before serving. If pasta is left in soup for any length of time it gets mushy. I cooked 2 cups of dry pasta for this recipe then added about 1/3 cup into each soup bowl. Then grated the soup with freshly grated Parmesan.
While there, we also ordered a bottle of one of the region's best wines – the pride and joy of Marche – Bucci Verdicchio Classico Dei Castelli di Jesi. The Bucci family has owned the estate since the 1700's and are known both for the great beauty of their vineyards and the enduring excellence of their wines. The estate is also recognized for preserving the best of classic wine traditions while at the same time revolutionizing the industry with many pioneering wine making methods. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to visit the vineyard on that trip, but I did have the good fortune to meet the owner, Signor Bucci when he visited Convito during one of his marketing trips to the U.S. He tasted out his lovely Verdicchio, which we have sold consistently since our opening 37 years ago. Customers loved the wine and were charmed by Signor Bucci. It is one of my favorites – perfectly balanced with a distinct finesse and very elegant just like the man himself.
During lunch Paolo continued to read to us more of the Federico Barocci history. Most of his life we learned was spent in Urbino but he traveled and worked in Rome during two periods of time. During his second sojourn there he became quite ill. Suspecting that he had been poisoned by one of his rivals, he returned to Urbino for good working only two hours a day due to constant pain. In spite of his frail health he produced many great works and was considered the greatest and most individual painter of his time in central Italy.
Two of the artists that most influenced Barocci's work were Raphael and Titian – Raphael for his grace and elegance of line and Titian for his sensibility of atmosphere and color. Most importantly we learned from Paolo's trusty guidebook that Raphael was also a native of Urbino and lived just up the street from Barocci.
Fueled with good food and wine, we were determined in spite of the cold, to visit that area of Urbino. With whistling winds at our back and the sky continuing to darken, Paolo lead the way through the steep narrow streets of this lovely idyllic town as we rushed to find these famous landmarks. At points I think we were almost running and am certain we looked like a bunch of crazy people to the locals. We were on a mission but we were also cold and running out of daylight! We eventually located Raphael's house, but serendipitously along the way we spotted a street named Via Barocci. We weren't sure if the street was named after the painter, but it didn't matter. Our "photography session" began.
Paolo laughingly commented that, "Never have so many photographs been taken in this dark little passageway." Everyone passing by looked at us quizzically, probably wondering what historic landmark they had missed in their travel guides. All of a sudden the darkening sky began delivering the large snowflakes it had been threatening all day. As conditions quickly turned toward a blizzard, we hastily put away our cameras, buttoned up our thin jackets and raced to the warmth of our car. It had been a fun and invigorating hunt – each step accompanied by much laughter – but now it was time to go!
Not long after we left town, the snow eventually stopped and the skies cleared revealing the multi-faceted beauty of one of Italy's hidden gems. Our drive through what was known as "bucolic Marche" was spectacular. We went from twisting roads high up in the dramatic Apennine mountain range to a coastal highway skirting the Adriatic Sea in less than an hour. In between was rich, fertile unspoiled farmland blanketed primarily in olive trees and grape vines. Every so often we would catch a glimpse of a rosy colored medieval village or an ancient rustic farmhouse. As we approached sunset, rims of gold encircled the pink and grey clouds. The sun's last rays twinkled magically on the rippling waters of the Adriatic then finally slipped behind the soft undulating hills of this incredibly picturesque region. I was surprised I knew so little about Marche. "Undiscovered" is how Paolo described it. Not for long, I thought.
It is amazing how nothing more than a name can elicit such deep feelings in people. Trying to discover the origins of one's last name can be a real challenge, but once found the roots of that name can help give the searcher a sense of who they are, an understanding of identity. A business name can also communicate a type of identity. The right name frames that business's concept and provides a certain image. Or at least I believe it should. Over time the name becomes your brand. In some strange way the name Convito – though only 18 months old at the time of this trip – seemed like it had been around forever. However, selecting that name took more time in the end than we expected.
Paolo and I decided to start a business together to bring Italian food, wine and culture to the United State long before we knew exactly how we would do it. We knew there was untapped potential in this country that I had fallen in love with, but we didn't know what the business would become, let alone what we would call it. So first we needed a concept. In the beginning we thought we wanted to become a boutique importer of Italian wine. Wine from Italy at the time Convito opened was considered cheap and a distant cousin to French wines. We imagined we could become liaisons to the United State and introduce this country to the under-appreciated, under-valued and at-the-time hard-to-find world of fine Italian wines. In a previous blog (Lombardia II "Milano: Street Smarts") I outlined those beginnings. Well…that idea was quickly discarded as way too complicated the moment we started investigating the tangled, impenetrable world of alcohol importation regulation and taxes.
Our next thought was the "Capitolo" concept. We knew we wanted to somehow integrate Paolo's mother Wanda's cooking skills into our business plan so we came up with the idea of a "club" where each member would receive a newsletter describing the wine and food of a particular region. It would include the recipes Wanda and I tested in her Milanese kitchen along with a list and description of three wines from that region that would also be sent to each member. These publications were called Capitolos (Chapters in Italian).
What Convito eventually became is an evolution of that idea. Although we ended up publishing nine Capitolos, we eventually decided that what we really needed to do was to open an actual market where we would sell all the wonderful Italian products we were writing about (and that were very hard to get!); wine, cheese, deli meats, groceries as well as sauces and salads that we would make on premise. We wanted our business to be a place where customers could actually smell, taste and buy all the ingredients for an Italian meal, and receive authentic guidance on how to prepare them.
Not only did our concept evolve but so did our choice of a name. The original name we chose was Il Fattoria Italiano (The Italian Farm). That name selection, however, was short lived. When we reviewed our concept and name with my sister-in-law Katherine Catalano during a visit to her Connecticut home, her reaction made us re-think our choice. "Not everyone knows what fattoria means", she commented. "The word association will be FAT – not a image you want for your business."
Hmmm… good point Katherine! Back to the drawing board we went – as did Katherine, a most sophisticated wordsmith. She recalls a research session she had at her local library with three books open in front of her searching for the perfect word to describe our concept. As soon as she came across the word Convito, she felt it was the ideal match. Convito is an ancient Italian word signifying banquet or feast. The noun means banquet, the verb convitare means to invite to dinner. We were, as she pointed out, essentially selling all the ingredients for an Italian meal.
After we all enthusiastically agreed to the name Convito, Paolo went back to the art director of his company for a re-design. The final artwork for the logo features two hands crossed over one another – one holding a glass of wine and the other a fork. Both are centered under a stylized grape leaf. The ancient Renaissance octagonal pattern encases the center design. It certainly conveyed our message about Italian food, wine and culture. To this day it remains our signature.
Katherine also helped to write our concept statement printed in all nine Capitolo introductions:
"Convito Italiano has been founded to accommodate the increasing American appreciation of the subtle pleasures of classic Italian cooking. Convito will make available Italian products of the highest quality – food, wine, seasonings, recipes and utensils – a unique combination of all essential elements of the Italian meal generally not available outside of Italy. Complimenting our products will be an extensive educational program including history and customs, assuring our customers and society members the joy of the experiencing, in their own homes, the total spirit of the Italian meal. Convito Italiano."
So much had happened in such a short period of time. Driving through Marche only 18 months after we opened our market, I thought about how my responsibilities at Convito had also evolved. As our business grew and our name and identity became firmly established, my time seemed to be dominated by day-to-day recipe creation and execution (amongst a million other details familiar to any business-owner). I decided to drop the stand-alone Capitolo concept and concentrate on integrating that philosophy into our ever-expanding marketplace. We had grown from a little shop selling a limited variety of groceries, a handful of baked items and a slowly growing list of salads and hot dishes to an extensive market including a wide assortment of prepared foods, enlarged wine, cheese, deli and bakery departments, and eventually a café.
However, at that point in our development, I was still learning about this country I had so grown to love. I thought it was important to continue my research testing recipes with Wanda (more for the market instead of the Capitolos) but I also recognized how critical it was to Convito's regional concept to continue visiting as much of Italy as I could to better understand the diverse nature of this very complex country. I would eventually visit every one of Italy's 20 regions (many multiple times) and I always found that it was on these trips that I was able to best reflect on our goals and plans for the future. Distance is always good for reflection, especially when marinated in good food and wine
Reflection had been center stage during our drives on that long crazy day and it was again time for more sustenance; more good Marche food! After checking into a hotel in Pesaro, a bustling beach resort town right on the Adriatic, we had dinner that evening on the boardwalk at a restaurant that featured Filetto alla Rossini, the famous dish invented for the town's favorite son Gioachino Rossini born here in 1792. Rossini, known for his musical acumen, was composer of some 39 operas (including the famous Barber of Seville), religious pieces and chamber music. He was also appreciated for his culinary skills –known as a very knowledgeable gourmet and accomplished cook. He mostly indulged this culinary passion at the end of his career especially during his Paris years.
Like Beatrice Sforza Duchessa d'Urbino and her eponymous dishes, there are also many that include "alla Rossini" that were either created by him or by the chefs he supported and admired. He, unlike the Duchess, was actually a gourmet cook. The most famous dish bearing his name is Filetto alla Rossini also entitled Tournedoes Rossini. It is still served in many restaurants today.
Though many variations of this dish exist, I recently asked Convito Chef Eric Hammond to create his own, which ranks among my favorites. Depending on the chef, ingredients change with each recipe, but the overall look of the dish is the same; a handsome piece of beef fillet stacked on a crouton garnished with either foie gras or white truffles or sometimes both. The sauce is made with either Marsala (one of Rossini's favorite ingredients) or Madeira. Chef Eric's version substitutes mushroom caps for white truffles making it a much more affordable recipe, while his white truffle oil preserves the incredible flavor of Rossini's version.
Filetto alla Rossini
Serves 1 (multiply all the ingredients for 2 or more)
1 8-ounce pc Beef tenderloin
3 large Shiitake mushroom caps, 3 sliced and one whole
1 slice brioche bread, cut into a circle as large as the diameter as the filet
½ cup red wine
½ cup veal or beef broth
Salt & pepper
4 ounces melted butter
1 pc compound butter
White truffle oil, optional (but recommend!)
Preheat oven to 375⁰
With a piece of butcher twine, tie the filet so it holds a round form, reserve. Brush the brioche with melted butter and toast until golden brown, remove from oven and reserve.
Season filet, and in a sauté pan, heat oil until smoking hot. Carefully put in filet, let sit in hot oil for 1 minute, then place in oven. Cook for about 4 minutes and flip and add the whole mushroom cap cook another 4 minutes and remove. Let rest and remove the twine.
While filet is resting, start the sauce. In the same pan, add a little melted butter, add the sliced shiitakes. Sauté for one minute and add the wine, reduce by 1/2 then add the stock. Reduce by ½ and add the remaining butter, cook until sauce consistency.
Put the crouton on the plate, top with the filet. Top the filet with the whole shiitake and then with the compound butter. Arrange the sliced shiitakes around the filet and then circle with the sauce. Drizzle with the truffle oil
Another typical Marche dish we enjoyed that night was Pollo in Potacchio – very simple, homey and incredibly tasty. Potacchio is really defined by the sauce. Its basic ingredients are garlic, onions, tomatoes,wine, olive oil and rosemary. Very simple, yet always fantastic. Whether ladled on top of chicken, rabbit, fish (or anything else), this distant cousin of Cacciatore sauce is the main event of any meal, and the protein simply a vehicle for its deliciousness.
My recipe uses dried chili peppers to add just a little heat. The slow braised, incredibly flavorful chicken thighs are so tender the meat falls off the bone and the smell of this sauce permeates the kitchen –actually the whole house. Potacchio derives from the French word potage. When seen on a menu, Potacchio promises that what you are about to put in your mouth will be something succulent, savory and extremely delicious.
Pollo in Potacchio
Serves 4
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup diced onion
8 chicken thighs with skin on – trimmed of excess skin
salt & freshly ground pepper
4 fresh rosemary sprigs
¼ teaspoon chili pepper flakes
½ cup white wine
1 cup tomato puree
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Heat butter with the olive oil in a dutch oven or deep skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onions and sauté until soft. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the Dutch oven skin side down. Add the rosemary and chili pepper flakes. Cook over medium high heat until golden brown all over – approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Discard the garlic. Add the white wine and deglaze for 1 – 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree and the tomato paste. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes until cooked through. Add additional wine or water if the sauce gets too dry.
Season to taste. Serve with roasted potatoes, polenta or pasta – anything that will soak up this glorious sauce.
Although our trip to Marche didn't really shed any light on the Barocci name in relationship to Bob's family, the discussion it had provoked about names and their meanings had been most thought provoking. Discovering the history and meaning behind a family name I would eventually learn is often harder than it sounds. Huge data sets, wrong turns, misspellings and dead ends are common with any genealogical name search and were even more problematic back in the pre-internet eighties. Even today, with a plethora of genealogy websites available to would-be genealogists, the search for one's roots is compounded exponentially if one's grandfather was a foundling.
Friend and former-sister-in-law Katherine Catalano was the best source for Barocci family history so when I began writing this blog and reminiscing about my trip to Marche and our crazy search in Urbino for Barocci "connections," I called her to remind me of the ancestral findings her family had gathered over the years. According to Katherine, Marche was never thought to be the region of her grandfather Bartolomeo's birth. Rather the family thought it to be the northern region of Emilia Romagna – right next door, however.
Her aunt Kate (her father Louis' sister) made some headway back in the early seventies when she unearthed a record of a baby named Barocci found on the steps of a town hall in Parma, a city in the northern part of that region. The date on the document was close to the date thought to be the birthday Bartolomeo celebrated. However, no one is still alive to verify that record or the details of that find so the family is still not positive that Parma is their grandfather's place of birth. Further complicating things is the Barocci name itself. It remains unclear if Barocci was the birth name of Bartolomeo or that of the adoptive parents?
Katherine also remembers family discussions about other birthplace possibilities – in particular Piemonte, another northern Italian region. But in the end, with the discovery of that document and the many family conversations throughout the years, Emilia Romagna – specifically the town of Parma – seemed be to be the most probable birthplace. Interesting I thought that both Marche and Piemonte border Emilia Romagna. One could only imagine where that little foundling came from before he was placed on the steps of the Parma town hall. Like much of ancestral research, often more questions are raised than answers provided.
The importance of a name, in my opinion, is incalculable. It establishes both identity and history and is far more than just a label. And although Marche did not deliver any ancestral Barocci connections, it did produce stimulating discussion and enlightening food, wine and artistic experiences. It also made me wonder what a dish named "alla Convito" would be. Which region would it hail from? What ingredients would it include? And what would it represent both to my business and to our patrons? It's a daunting mission to develop something worthy of a name that has been a defining part of my life for many, many years.
I think it might be time to head back into the kitchen…

"Alcohol Relapse: Blaming the Families AGAIN!"
by Toby Rice Drews
by Toby Rice Drews
This is a wonderful parody on the awful typical 'junk' going on out there today-------whereas families of alcoholics are being called 'triggers' by the alcoholic's counselors---- implying that the family 'makes the alcoholic so stressed that he drinks'.
NO ONE can make someone into an alcoholic. It's a genetic disease. This is a wonderful parody, written by Penelope, on all that junk going on in many therapists' offices.
now------- Here's Penelope's story of Walter!!------
My dog "Walter" keeps hitting the toilet bowl. I can't stop him. If he sees the bathroom door open he goes and drinks from the toilet bowl. He just can't resist. If I leave the door open---- nothing can stop him He just goes straight to that bowl. I have yelled, shamed, made him go outside etc---nothing does any good!!!!!! After I am good and mad he tries to kiss me and apologize (like it will never happen again). I am then slimed with toilet water on my face kiss from Walter. I forgive Walter but he goes and does it again. He just has a need to drink toilet bowl water. Walter tells me that it is MY fault because I forget to close the bathroom door. He is just too weak to stay away.
Also, now it is not only the door, that I leave open that is my fault.
The other day, I left toilet paper on the counter. He saw it and then he "had to drink toilet water" because toilet paper was a "trigger".
NOW, Walter is telling me that ANY paper product is a trigger.
Napkins, paper towels, etc.
Now even POST IT notes have become a trigger.
I just can't win. It's all my fault. Oh and get this---- now I am an "enabler" because I am nice and take him for walks and he gets "thirsty". His thirst on the walks reminds him of toilet bowl water. Doesn't matter that he has nice bacteria free water and plenty of it in a bowl both in the house and outside.
Walter now says, that even though I love him --- he is going to have to leave because he can't stay off the toilet water at home. The entire home, myself, and the kids have now become triggers. He thinks he will find a nice new owner who will understand and not be a trigger.
This he says to the person (me!) who has fed and taken care of him and takes him to the groomer etc etc......... While he gets to sit around unemployed all day and never lifts a finger to help out. He does bark once in awhile for protection but believe me it is not an equal partnership. After all I have done and now Walter wants to leave me.
I tell Walter "Nothing makes you drink from a toilet bowl. Toilet water is everywhere. You have to make a decision to not drink it. You bend your paw----I don't make you do it".
Go ahead Walter and find a new home.
You will do the same craziness there.
There will be a toilet bowl there.
The new owner will not like it anymore than I do.
Oh sure---you can sneak your drinks from the water for awhile but soon they will realize what the water is on your chin and not appreciate those type of "kisses".
Yeah -------now the dog trainer is blaming me too!!!!
She is saying that I have been too nice to Walter and she is colluding with him that I am a "trigger' and an enabler!.
She agrees with Walter that he has to leave me.
What if Walter would get off the stuff and we could be a happy family??? She says that there is NO WAY Walter can stay off the Toilet Bowl water at home.

Why do Jews not see Jesus in Isaiah 53?
It's just a matter of willful ignorance. Yes, Isaiah 53 is in their Scriptures, but the Jews did not WANT to believe in a suffering Messiah, only a REIGNING Messiah, even though the OT teaches both. Even today, when their Scriptures are read in the synagogues, they skip over Isaiah 53!

What Does Shafae Law Do?
After we posted about the opening of our new Los Angeles office last week, we received a lot of questions about what we actually do. So here's a list of what we do and what we don't do.
We do:
Establish trusts that protect your assets from the probate process and help ensure you benefit from current tax laws
Transfer your home into your trust
Help guide you on how to move your other assets into your trust
Draft wills that name guardians for children and give away your things (or to make sure your things end up in your trust)
Create documents (called Powers of Attorney) that give someone the right to act in your shoes in case you get sick, can't do it yourself, or don't want to do it yourself (e.g. call the bank or your health insurance company to find out what kind of coverage you need)
SIDE NOTE: A forthcoming blog post will explain this in more detail, but even your spouse needs a power of attorney to be able to do these things on your behalf; being married isn't enough to give your spouse the legal authority to act on your behalf
Create documents that give someone the right to determine health care decisions when you are unable to do so (e.g. if you are in a coma and there's a decision to be made about whether to proceed to surgery or not)
Review and update existing estate planning documents
Advise on tax implications that impact your estate planning wishes
Administer a trust for someone who has passed away
Facilitate the probate process for someone who has passed away
We don't do:
Financial planning, like telling you where to invest your money
Real estate transactions, like helping advise on the housing market or conducting a purchase/sales transaction
Tax controversies (disputing the IRS) or file tax paperwork for you
Litigation. We do not handle legal disputes
Not sure if we do or don't do what you need? We offer free consultations. Contact us today!
