Get Granite Countertops Installed by Maryland Pros
Are you looking for a beautiful and durable granite countertops in Maryland or DC?
Granite countertops have an unmatched natural strength and are available in a wide variety of colors. Their one-of-a-kind beauty is unlike any other countertop surface available.
At Express we focus on only one thing–selling and installing countertops. We consider ourselves countertop experts, and would like to share our knowledge. Keep reading to learn if granite countertops are right for your kitchen.

Click here to explore our Granite color & style swatch gallery.
Why is Granite So Durable?
Of all of the natural stone countertops, granite is the most durable.
The granite stone used for a countertop has already existed for thousands and thousands of years. Like marble and other natural stones, granite rock is formed beneath the earth's surface during the compression of heat and fusion. However, unlike marble, granite is composed of hard silicate minerals, making it significantly more durable.
Granite is a metamorphic and igneous rock, which is resilient against extreme temperature as well as stress and heat. Granite possesses a smooth surface and is cool to the touch.
Granite Countertop Cost: $30 – $200 per square foot.
Are Granite Countertops Perfect for You?
|Countertop material of choice; a mixture of natural beauty and elegance.
|Granite can be expensive depending on the type of stone and sizes of solid pieces to be installed.
|Holds up to heat and is scratch resistant.
|Requires use of a cutting board.
|Permanent and substantial look. Very durable.
|Is porous, and without regular sealing, it can stain.
|Offered in less expensive versions.
|Needs to be resealed more often than other surfaces.
|Unique; no two granite tops are exactly the same.
|Granite may crack and could be costly to repair or replace.
|Coloration will never change; it will always remain as bright and vibrant as when first installed.

Capturing the Beauty of Granite for a Lower Price
Are you on a tight budget? Don't count out granite just yet.There are various other strategies that you should consider if you are dying to have granite countertops in your Annapolis, Baltimore or Alexandria home but are afraid that it might be a bit too expensive.
- Have your granite countertop installed in several different square pieces or opt for a granite tile countertop instead of one solid piece. This will give you the exact same natural beauty as a solid stone slab, but at a lower price. Repairs will be easier as well.
- Granite counters can have varying quality. Factors that will affect granite countertop price and quality include the following: country of origin, granite color, patterns or veins, the thickness of slab, the amount of soft minerals within the stone, and current fashion trends.
- Luna Pearl is a stone that is offered by many different builders. It looks the same from both near and far and under certain lighting conditions. The big benefit to Luna Pearl is that it is less expensive than most other types of granite.
- Make sure to pay attention to the number of cuts and seams that will need to be made within stone slabs can also help you to keep the price to a minimum.
- Be sure to ask your installation professionals if you will be charged for the use of wasted materials.
- Hire reliable professionals. Failing to properly set a newly installed granite countertop can create a variety of extremely expensive problems.
Not sure granite is right for you? Click here to check out our recommendations on granite alternatives.
Maintaining Your Granite Countertops
Granite countertops do require some additional maintenance. Because the stone is porous, granite should absolutely be sealed. It should then resealed on a regular basis to ensure its ability to repel water as well a soil based stains.
Even though alack of maintenance has the potential to make your granite countertops appear dull, it can easily be cleaned and polished by a professional to restore its natural shine. In order to properly clean granite, you should use neutral cleaners, stone soaps and/or mild liquid dishwashing soaps or detergents. It is very important to avoid products that contain abrasives and/or acids. Unfortunately, in most cases, if a granite countertop is cracked, it its going to need to be removed and replaced with a new piece of stone.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For more than three months, I have had a lump in my neck that hurts only if I press on it hard. I'm not sure if it has gotten any bigger, but it's beginning to worry me. What do you think it might be? If it makes any difference, I am a 32-year-old male.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For more than three months, I have had a lump in my neck that hurts only if I press on it hard. I'm not sure if it has gotten any bigger, but it's beginning to worry me. What do you think it might be? If it makes any difference, I am a 32-year-old male.
The lump you feel is probably a lymph node. We have hundreds of them scattered throughout the body. They're filters of germs and other foreign materials. They constitute an important defense against the spread of infection in the body.
An enlarged node can represent serious or harmless conditions. Size helps distinguish between them. Nodes smaller than .4 inches in length and width (1 cm by 1 cm) are more often indications of benign enlargements, like transient infections. Sore throats always cause neck lymph nodes to get bigger, and those nodes are most often tender when they're pressed. Dental infections are another cause of such nodes. Once the infection leaves, the nodes shrink.
The most serious cause of big lymph nodes that cannot be ignored is cancer. The cancer can be a cancer of the nodes themselves (lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease), or it can be a cancer that has spread to the nodes from some other site. Cancerous nodes are large, firm or rubbery, and usually not tender.
The fact that you have no symptoms is reassuring. However, a large node is something whose cause has to be found, and the cause can usually be found without too great trouble. If it cannot, then the node is removed for microscopic examination.
You must see your doctor soon. This is a question that demands an answer.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband is 25. He drinks a six-pack of beer every night, and more on weekends. I admit he never appears to be drunk, never stumbles and is always reasonable, but I think this amount of alcohol cannot be good for him. What could drinking this much alcohol do to him?
A six-pack of beer every day is way too much alcohol. The probability of coming down with liver cirrhosis looms over anyone who drinks this volume of beer. Cirrhosis means the liver becomes so scarred that it cannot perform its many functions. Dying from liver cirrhosis is not a pleasant way to die. Ten to 15 years of drinking this much alcohol makes him a likely candidate for cirrhosis.
The fact that a six-pack has little to no effect on your husband is not a particularly good sign. It implies that he has developed a tolerance for alcohol, and that comes only from drinking large amounts for long periods. It's a sign of alcoholism.
If your husband cannot stop on his own, he should see the family doctor or an organization like Alcoholics Anonymous.
Readers may write to Dr. Donohue or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Readers may also order health newsletters from www.rbmamall.com.

Nobia Holdings UK Ltd / Gower Group Ltd
OFT closed case: Completed acquisition by Nobia Holdings UK Ltd of Gower Group Ltd.
Affected market: Kitchen interiors
No. ME/1549/04
The OFT's decision on reference under section 22(1) given on 25 February 2004.
Nobia Holdings UK (Nobia) owns Magnet Ltd which manufactures and supplies kitchen, bathroom and bedroom interiors primarily through its UK network of over 200 retail stores. Magnet's subsidiary CP Hart sells Poggenpohl and Pronorm (Nobia brands) bathroom and kitchen products.
Gower Group Ltd (Gower) manufactures and supplies kitchen interiors and sells a small amount of bedrooms and bathrooms. For the year ended 31 March 2003, Gower had a reported turnover of £70.4m.
Nobia acquired Gower on 1 December 2003. The transaction was notified on 5 January 2004. The administrative deadline is 1 March 2004 and the statutory deadline is 31 March 2004.
As a result of this transaction Nobia and Gower have ceased to be distinct. The UK turnover of Gower exceeds £70 million, so the turnover test in section 23(1)(b) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) is satisfied. A relevant merger situation has been created.
The parties overlap in the manufacture and supply of kitchen units. These activities comprise the manufacture and supply of cabinet frames, doors and panels, in assembled and flat-pack forms, together with associated accessories.
Most manufacturers supply entire kitchen units and parts of units, in rigid and flat-pack forms. The parties consider that the distinction between flat-pack and rigid plays a minor role in the customers' buying decision. In addition, it was submitted that considerable supply-side substitution existed between rigid and flat-pack forms.
Products are sold through a variety of supply channels including: highly vertically-integrated retailers, such as MFI and Magnet; DIY multiples; independent retailers; housebuilders; builders' merchants; and direct to consumers. In general, consumers have a choice of supply channel and there would appear to be scope for manufacturers to switch supply between the channels.
The market for kitchen units would appear to be, at its narrowest, UK wide. However, imports account for around 10 per cent of total UK kitchen unit sales, indicating that the geographic market may potentially be wider than that of the UK. Third parties indicated that imports formed an important and growing part of the sector.
On this basis, the appropriate frame of reference to examine this transaction is considered to be the manufacture and supply of rigid and flat-packed kitchen units in the UK.
Market shares
The kitchen interiors business in the UK is fragmented. Following the merger, the parties will be the number two manufacturer of rigid and flat-packed kitchen units in the UK, with a combined share of supply of approximately 15 per cent (increment 7 per cent). The post-merger HHI is less than 1000, indicating a fragmented supply base.
Given that Gower specialises in the manufacture of flat pack kitchen units, shares of supply were also examined on this basis, providing a combined share of supply of approximately 16 per cent (increment 1 per cent). On this narrow basis, the post-merger HHI was around 1350, with an increment of approximately 30.
Barriers to entry and expansion
Although there appears to have been no significant entry in the UK in recent years, there is no evidence to suggest that there are significant barriers to entry in this business. Costs of entry appear to be modest in relation to the size of business at stake. Third parties also considered barriers to entry to be low.
Buyer power
Many of the purchasers of the parties' products are themselves large companies (e.g. DIY multiples and housebuilders), with contracts often being awarded through a competitive tender process. These companies in particular are therefore likely to have considerable buyer power. The number of alternative suppliers suggests that smaller customers also currently have a large measure of choice.
This merger does not appear to raise any vertical concerns.
Third parties were unconcerned, indicating that barriers to entry were low and competition from imports is active and growing.
The manufacture and supply of rigid and flat-packed kitchen units in the UK is fragmented. Post-merger the combined share of supply will be 15 per cent (increment 7 per cent). Barriers to entry are low and imports appear to provide a competitive constraint on UK manufacturers.
Consequently, the OFT does not believe that it is or may be the case that the merger may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within a market or markets in the UK.
This merger will therefore not be referred to the Competition Commission under section 22(1) of the Act.

You can easily carry the TwoTrack in your pocket, gig bag, stick bag, or virtually any other case. The TwoTrack puts easy-to-use recording in the palm of your hand.
Easy Recording Anytime
Sometimes you just need a good way to record without all the complicated setup of microphones, cables and mixers. The TwoTrack is your solution. It's small enough to keep in your guitar case or laptop bag and runs on just one AA battery for hours of recording.
Set the TwoTrack down in the corner of the room on the Alesis Tripod Stand (sold separately) and forget about it. Your recording will be saved in the TwoTrack's internal 128MB memory or on a micro SD or SDHC card up to 8GB (sold separately) for more than 100 hours of uncompressed WAV, or thousands of hours of MP3.
At the end of your session or rehearsal, you'll have a 16-bit, 44.1 stereo wav file, or an MP3 at up to 192kbps so you can listen to your performance and move it to your computer, music player, or phone. The TwoTrack is the most affordable way for musicians to record outside the studio. Whether you want to record your band's practices, capture your favorite live performers, or just need a way to record guitar or piano lessons, the TwoTrack makes high-quality, stereo recording simple.
The TwoTrack is more than a compact recorder. Use it to record your gigs and then export the recordings to your computer using the mini-USB output. Thanks to the TwoTrack's dual condenser microphones, you'll have two tracks to work with in virtually any music software from GarageBand to Pro Tools. Make your recording into a live CD of your band by separating each song with fade-ins and fade-outs, and then share it with friends or sell it to fans at your next show. The TwoTrack is an inexpensive way to get you or your band heard.
Beyond music applications, the TwoTrack is great for recording interviews, business meetings, speeches, nature sounds, lectures, or just notes to yourself.
Flexible Recording Anywhere
The TwoTrack is portable, easy to use and packed with useful features. You can easily mount it on standard camera stands or on the optional Alesis Mic Stand Adapter, which allows the TwoTrack to be placed on a mic stand. If you have a favorite microphone that you'd like to record with, the TwoTrack features a convenient mic/line input right on its side for mono or stereo sources. You can even mount and connect the TwoTrack to compatible video cameras and greatly enhance the sound of your videos.
The TwoTrack's microphone gain control is ergonomically designed to be right under your thumb or forefinger for easy adjustment, and you can easily monitor each mic's level on the TwoTrack's backlit LCD screen. A red LED indicates when you are recording and turns off whenever your signal clips, giving you a visual indication that gain adjustment is needed. If you don't want to worry about adjusting the gain manually, simply turn on the automatic gain control and the TwoTrack will monitor and adjust levels automatically to keep them consistent and virtually eliminate distortion.

I have a dream that we go out together to the lake. We take our bikes, secure them to the car with the rope that you bound me with earlier that night. We ride around the water together until sunrise, soaking in the calm and the peace. I smile, you smile, we're content. I put my hand to the lake, and the carp suck at my fingers. The sound of water rushes, the fresh smell of water drifting through the air. You watch the stars. I look at you, and you trace your finger in the air, Ursa Minor. When I start to tell you the story of Kallisto, you smile. I touch your cheek, draw a kiss, feel your hair brush lightly on my skin.
In my dreams, I can say "I love you" without being afraid of what you might say back.
When you get tired, we tie the bikes back up, I drive us both home.

Women may soon receive pills, IUDs and patches without the co-pay, under the Affordable Care Act.
It's hard to imagine the words "free" and "birth control" being in the same sentence, especially to the women who have spent years paying upwards of $30 for their montly pills. Yet, the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which deals exclusively with women's and reproductive issues, has released a new report that suggests birth control should be free and accessible for all American women. New Birth Control Pills Pose Greater Blood Clot Risk
Commisioned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the IOM's report is recommending that free birth control, as part of a full range of preventive health services, be included under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The committee issuing the report defined preventive health services as "measures — including medications, procedures, devices, tests, education and counseling — shown to improve well-being, and/or decrease the likelihood or delay the onset of a targeted disease or condition."
For many women, this report is a political victory, as nearly one in three women currently find it difficult to pay for birth control, according to a statement by Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America. Free preventive care would also help minimize unintended pregnancies and reduce the need for abortion.

I recently had the opportunity to try out a 100% silk pillow case from 'Silk Perfect'. These bring a whole new meaning to the phrase 'beauty sleep' apart from adding a little bit of luxury to your snoozing they promise to keep you looking younger too according to an ancient beauty secret!
So how do they work? Traditional cotton, linen or polyester pillowcases have a high absorbency rate stealing moisture to leave the skin in desperate need of a thirst quench. When combined with humidity and too much sun exposure skin can become dry and aggravated. SilkPerfect 100% put silk pillowcases proactively retain moisture to leave skin refreshed and hydrated. In addition, traditional pillowcases wick away product on the skin meaning your after-sun products may not be working to their best ability. By preventing osmosis SilkPerfect keeps product on the skin helping you to make the most of your slumber.
Dried out skin is naturally prone to ageing, contributing to the formation of lines and creases. Unlike traditional cotton pillows SilkPerfect pillowcases proactively retain moisture, while the fine soft nature of the fibres provides a smooth base for you to rest your head. Ideal for helping to keep skin moisturised, preventing that dried out sallow complexion. The silk can also prevent 'bed hair', frizz and split ends.
I have been testing out these pillow cases for a good month or so now and whilst I haven't noticed any major differences in my skin hydration (not that my skin is particularly dry at the moment), I definitely have seen an improvement in my locks! I usually have really bad matted frizzy 'bed hair' hair on a morning and have noticed that isn't a problem anymore since using these pillows. I love the luxurious silky feel, my normal traditional cotton pillowcases there is no comparison now! The new Silk Pur case has cotton backing so means the pillows don't slide off the bed.
The Silk Perfect Púr pillow case can be ordered from the Silk Perfect website and it's currently on a buy one get one free offer so you can get two for £20 – they are definitely worth the investment! I'm definitely adding a couple on my Christmas list this year.
Have you tried Silk Pillow Cases?


text: So a few weeks ago I found out about the big clearance sale at BBTS and decided that this would be a good opportunity to get the Robot Replicas I was still missing (i.e. everyone except Jazz). Today the shipment arrived. WOW. The shipping box looks like someone left it in the rain and then played football with it. The toys' cardbacks are all bent, and many of the the plastic bubbles are squeezed. Good thing I dump the packaging these days. The worst case was Barricade. I had to use a KNIFE to get him out of his squeezed and deformed plastic shell. It's a miracle none of the toys themselves appear to be damaged, but seriously, WTF? All the toys I previously got from the USA (Cataclizm1 picked them up for me, about six shipments since December) arrived in excellent condition, very safely packed, no problems at all. So what the hell?

Lions cut kicker Havard "Kickalicious" Rugland
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions released kicker Havard Rugland and four other players Tuesday.
A year ago, Rugland was working at a child protective services facility in Norway. The 28-year-old Norwegian dubbed "Kickalicious" became an Internet sensation after producing a YouTube video highlighted by quirky trick shots.
He had tryouts with the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Detroit, and the Lions were the only team to offer him a contract. He was signed April 11 to give kicker David Akers some competition, and Rugland made each of his three field goals during the preseason.
"Exposure means a lot in this league," Akers said. "If he can catch on to gain experience, the sky's the limit."
The Lions also released cornerback Dequan Menzie, wide receiver Terrance Austin and tight ends Cameron Morrah and Matt Veldman.
The Lions claimed Menzie off waivers in May from Kansas City. The Chiefs drafted Menzie last year in the fifth round. Austin, Morrah and Veldman were signed as free agents during the offseason.
