Choosing Between Quartz and Granite: Selecting the Perfect Kitchen Countertop for Your Long Island Home
Tumblr media
When it comes to kitchen renovations, selecting the right countertop material is crucial. Among the array of options available, quartz and granite stand out as popular choices, each with its unique characteristics and advantages. For homeowners in Long Island considering a kitchen remodel, understanding the differences between quartz and granite countertops can make the decision-making process smoother.
Quartz Countertops
Quartz countertops are engineered stone surfaces composed of 90-95% crushed natural quartz crystals combined with resins and pigments. This engineered process results in a durable, non-porous surface that offers numerous benefits:
Durability: Quartz countertops are highly durable and resistant to scratches, stains, and heat. They require minimal maintenance and are less prone to chipping compared to granite.
Variety and Consistency: Available in a wide range of colors and patterns, quartz countertops offer consistency in appearance. This uniformity makes it easier to match with kitchen designs and ensures a predictable outcome.
Non-Porous Nature: The non-porous surface of quartz countertops makes them highly resistant to bacteria, mold, and moisture, making them a hygienic choice for kitchens.
Ease of Maintenance: Unlike natural stones, quartz countertops do not require sealing. Routine cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient to maintain their luster.
For homeowners in Long Island seeking a durable, low-maintenance, and versatile countertop option for their kitchen remodel, quartz countertops present an attractive choice.
Granite Countertops
Granite countertops are natural stone surfaces formed from cooling magma, exhibiting unique patterns and colors due to their natural composition. Consider the following advantages:
Natural Beauty: Granite countertops showcase natural beauty with unique veining, specks, and patterns, adding an elegant and timeless aesthetic to any kitchen. No two granite slabs are exactly alike, ensuring a one-of-a-kind appearance.
Heat Resistance: Granite is heat-resistant, making it suitable for placing hot pots and pans directly onto the surface without causing damage.
Increased Home Value: Due to their premium appeal and perceived value, granite countertops can positively impact the resale value of a home.
Longevity: When properly sealed and maintained, granite countertops can last for decades, adding to their long-term value.
For homeowners in Long Island seeking a luxurious and naturally striking option for their kitchen remodel, granite countertops offer an excellent choice.
Choosing the Ideal Countertop for Your Long Island Kitchen
Tumblr media
Deciding between quartz and granite countertops ultimately depends on personal preferences, lifestyle, and budget. Consider the following factors when making your choice:
Style and Aesthetics: Determine which material aligns better with your preferred kitchen design, whether it’s the uniformity of quartz or the unique patterns of granite.
Maintenance Requirements: Assess the level of maintenance you're willing to commit to. While quartz is low maintenance, granite may require periodic sealing to maintain its durability.
Budget Considerations: Evaluate your budget and explore the cost differences between quartz and granite, considering installation expenses as well.
Long-Term Needs: Consider factors such as durability, resistance to heat, stains, and overall longevity to ensure the chosen countertop material aligns with your lifestyle and long-term expectations.
In conclusion, both quartz and granite countertops offer exceptional qualities that can enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your Long Island kitchen remodel. By understanding their unique characteristics and considering your preferences, you can confidently choose the ideal countertop material that suits your home's style, needs, and budget. Whether it's the sleek and uniform appeal of quartz or the natural beauty of granite, your kitchen will undoubtedly benefit from the right choice.

This stone has its origins in a small community founded by Irish clergy on Ardwall lsland in about 550 AD. By the 8" century it had both Irish and Northumbrian members, and so the name Cuthgar, meaning "Fortunate Spear", is inscribed in both languages.

So do you think the people of the Boiling Isles would try to leave their lsland to see if there are other islands in their realm? Kind of like how Amphibia's finale teases at another continent that Sprig and Ivy want to explore. Might need to build planes instead of ships with the Boiling seas they need to deal with.
The ppl of the Isles know that other land masses exist. While maybe there’s not a complete skeleton like the Boiling Isles, there’s enough Titan corpses that there’s very likely other kingdoms/continents like the one the Titan Trappers live on. It’s more a matter of desire to go to these other places

#1: Jack Crawford (to Clarice on Lecter): “I don't expect him to talk to you.”
Will Graham (on Lecter): “If you think there's any chance he'll talk to me...I'll go myself.”
#2: Dr. Chilton (to Clarice on Lecter): “From a research point of view, Lecter is our most prized asset.”
Dr. Chilton (to Will on Lecter): “As a research subject, Lecter has proven most disappointing.”
#3: Dr. Chilton (to Clarice on Lecter): “We've tried to study him, but he's much too sophisticated for the standard tests.”
Dr. Chilton (to Will on Lecter): “He's simply impenetrable to psychological testing.”
#4: Will Graham (to Lecter): “You'll either do it or you won't.”
Clarice Starling (to Lecter): “I'm only asking you to look at this. Either you will or you won't.”

Dr. Lecter (to Clarice): “That was an especially nice touch, Clarice.”

Catherine Martin dies, you get nothing.”

Dr. Lecter (to Clarice): “It is your turn to tell me, Clarice. You don't have any more vacations to sell.”

A shy penguin wins New Zealand’s bird election after campaign filled with memes and tattoos

A hoiho or yellow-eyed penguin pictured on April 2, 2023, has won New Zealand's annual Bird of the Year vote, Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, after a fierce contest absent the foreign interference and controversies that have upset the country's avian elections before. (Hayden Parsons via AP)
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — It’s noisy, smelly, shy — and New Zealand’s bird of the year.
The hoiho, or yellow-eyed penguin, won the country’s fiercely fought avian election on Monday, offering hope to supporters of the endangered bird that recognition from its victory might prompt a revival of the species.
It followed a campaign for the annual Bird of the Year vote that was absent the foreign interference scandals and cheating controversies of past polls. Instead, campaigners in the long-running contest sought votes in the usual ways — launching meme wars, seeking celebrity endorsements and even getting tattoos to prove their loyalty.
More than 50,000 people voted in the poll, 300,000 fewer than last year, when British late night host John Oliver drove a humorous campaign for the pūteketeke -- a “deeply weird bird” which eats and vomits its own feathers – securing a landslide win.

This year, the number of votes cast represented 10% of the population of New Zealand — a country where nature is never far away and where a love of native birds is instilled in citizens from childhood.
“Birds are our heart and soul,” said Emma Rawson, who campaigned for the fourth-placed ruru, a small brown owl with a melancholic call. New Zealand’s only native mammals are bats and marine species, putting the spotlight on its birds, which are beloved — and often rare.
This year’s victor, the hoiho — its name means “noise shouter” in the Māori language — is a shy bird thought to be the world’s rarest penguin. Only found on New Zealand’s South and Chatham islands — and on subantarctic islands south of the country — numbers have dropped perilously by 78% in the past 15 years.
“This spotlight couldn’t have come at a better time. This iconic penguin is disappearing from mainland Aotearoa before our eyes,” Nicola Toki, chief executive of Forest & Bird — the organization that runs the poll — said in a press release, using the Māori name for New Zealand. Despite intensive conservation efforts on land, she said, the birds drown in nets and sea and can’t find enough food.
“The campaign has raised awareness, but what we really hope is that it brings tangible support,” said Charlie Buchan, campaign manager for the hoiho. But while the bird is struggling, it attracted a star billing in the poll: celebrity endorsements flew in from English zoologist Jane Goodall, host of the Amazing Race Phil Keoghan, and two former New Zealand prime ministers.
Aspiring bird campaign managers — this year ranging from power companies to high school students — submit applications to Forest & Bird for the posts. The hoiho bid was run by a collective of wildlife groups, a museum, a brewery and a rugby team in the city of Dunedin, where the bird is found on mainland New Zealand, making it the highest-powered campaign of the 2024 vote.
“I do feel like we were the scrappy underdog,” said Emily Bull, a spokesperson for the runner-up campaign, for the karure — a small, “goth” black robin only found on New Zealand’s Chatham Island.

The karure’s bid was directed by the students’ association at Victoria University of Wellington, prompting a fierce skirmish on the college campus when the student magazine staged an opposing campaign for the kororā, or little blue penguin.
The rivalry provoked a meme war and students in bird costumes. Several people got tattoos. When the magazine’s campaign secured endorsements of the city council and local zoo, Bull despaired for the black robin’s bid.
But the karure — which has performed a real-life comeback since the 1980s, with conservation efforts increasing the species from five birds to 250 — took second place overall.
This weekend as Rawson wrapped up her campaign for the ruru, she took her efforts directly to the people, courting votes at a local dog park. The veteran campaign manager who has directed the bids for other birds in past years was rewarded by the ruru placing fourth in the poll, her best ever result.
“I have not been in human political campaigning before,” said Rawson, who is drawn to the competition because of the funds and awareness it generates. The campaign struck a more sedate tone this year, she added.
“There’s been no international interference, even though that was actually a lot of fun,” she said, referring to Oliver’s high-profile campaign.
It was not the only controversy the election has seen. While anyone in the world can vote, Forest & Bird now requires electors to verify their ballots after foreign interference plagued the contest before. In 2018, Australian pranksters cast hundreds of fraudulent votes in favor of the shag.
The following year, Forest & Bird was forced to clarify that a flurry of votes from Russia appeared to be from legitimate bird-lovers.
While campaigns are fiercely competitive, managers described tactics more akin to pro wrestling — in which fights are scripted — than divisive political contests.
“Sometimes people want to make posts that are kind of like beefy with you and they’ll always message you and be like, hey, is it okay if I post this?” Bull said. “There is a really sweet community. It’s really wholesome.”
