the contemporary shift away from visual towards
more aural legal metaphors requires an initial explanation of our
traditional preference for visually oriented legal language. In this
part of the Article, I suggest that this preference is a product of
three overlapping factors: first, a longstanding American cultural
bias towards visual expression and experience that is arguably based
on the social prominence of the written word; second, the traditional
numeric and political domination of American law and legal literature
by members of gender, racial, ethnic, and religious groups which
through their special command, control, or endorsement of writing have
in the course of American history developed and/or demonstrated a
particular respect for visuality; and, third, the accord that exists
between orthodox American legal values and the values we have come to
associate with vision as a phenomenon. In the pages that follow, I
will consider each of these factors in turn.

I don't know why I am memeing this.

An Impossible Place To Be
Panama's mythic Darién Gap—a 10,000-square-mile swath of jungle on the border of Central and South America—has swallowed explorers for centuries. Today, guerrillas, drug smugglers, poachers, and jaguars rule this vast no-man's-land. Our explorer spent six weeks trying to penetrate Dari�n's heart of darkness, but the Gap still fiercely protects its secrets.

The inpenetrable jungle where no road runs, separating North and South America.

A 970:
Would unpolished granite be a good choice for a shower? Would it have to
be sealed? Easy to keep clean? Thank you! Kay, Mexico, April 27. R1:
Hi,
Yes its ok just seal it. Pini, USA. Contact �
R2:
Unpolished granite comes in different finishes: flamed, bush-hammered, honed.
Only the last could be recommended in a shower-stall, because the first two are
very rough and it will be more difficult to clean their surface from soap-film
and hard-mineral deposit. Once this intuitive first choice is done, we have to
understand that it should not represent the main question. The main question should
be: What kind of "granites" are suitable for a shower stall -- regardless of their
finish? We have to keep in mind that a shower-stall represents as ruthless an
environment as a kitchen. Different problems, all right, but just as heavy-duty.
Many so called "granites" (which are granite only in the invoice of the dealer)
are extremely porous (most of them are, in fact, metamorphic sandstone), so much
so that if you put a piece of slab under a leaky faucet, after a while you will
see the water coming out from the other side (I'm not kidding). Now, you do NOT
want any such "granite" either in your kitchen (floor and / or countertop), or
in your shower-stall.
Oh!
I know, I know ... I already hear a chorus of protests from stone dealer and manufacturers
of stone "impregnators" from around the world. "All youhave to do is seal it properly,
and live happily ever after!"� My answer to that is: GOOD LUCK!!�Let's
make one thing clear: my company manufactures a stone sealer (impregnator) and
I can guarantee to you that it's a darn good one. What's more, business logic
suggests that one must sell as much as possible of the stuff (and, of course,
I try to do just that myself), but I will never extoll the virtues of my product
as the "miracle solution" for problem-laden stones. I leave that to the salesmen!
There is a limit to everything. Impregnator-type sealers are good problem-solvers,
for as long as the problemis
not too big. When we get to certain extremes, then an impregnator -- no matter
how good it is -- becomes only a fix. Good enough to make a sale, but not good
enough to make customers happy in the long run. I ought to know: I deal with stone
problems every single day (that's what I do for a living!) and, believe you me,
I still have to see one single customer happy with, say, a Kashmir kitchen countertop
after a year or so (unless, of course, they use the kitchen only a show-place!).
The list, of course, is much longer and I do not intend to list all the "bad"
granites (at least in my opinion).
The
only suggestion I want to offer is to test a piece of slab for absorbency: sprinkle
a few drops of water on it and, if you notice that it gets absorbed quickly, stay
away from that stone for use in a kitchen or a shower stall, no matter what the
dealer and / or your decorator tell you. As a rule of thumb (and, of course, there
are exceptions to it) the lighter the color of the "granite", the more absorbent
it is. Maurizio, USA Contact

In India I stayed at several places that had rough (flame or bush hammered) granite in the showers. I thought it was the bomb, because it feels great on your feet and there is no way to slip on it, even when your feet are soapy. I had people tell me that this was not doable for several reasons, so I looked this up...

The Kawasaki KLR650 seems to be the motorcycle most suitable for cross-continent travel in the first, second, third and fourth worlds. It is the bike the Marine Corps uses. I'm gonna buy one, learn to ride it, and then head for Argentina by land in a year or so. This board has loads of information on the KLR650. One stop shopping for infoz.

The paper I used was Aluminum Oxide in grits 50, 80, and 100, and Silicon Carbide (wet-or-dry to you lay people) in grits of 150, 180, 220, 320, 400, 600, 1200, and 2000. The plate glass was placed with its edge flush to the edge of the workbench.
