EEOC Issues Part II of FY 2011 and Part I of FY 2012 Annual Report on Federal Work Force
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
News Source : EEOC Issues Part II of FY 2011 and Part I of FY 2012 Annual Report on Federal Work Force
Small Gains Made in Diversity Government-Wide, Data Shows EEO Complaints Were Down
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today released the second part of its Annual Report on the Federal Work Force Part II: Work Force Statistics, Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 (Part II) and the first part of its Annual Report on the Federal Work Force Part I: Complaints Processing Statistics FY 2012 (Part I).
Part II advises the President and Congress on the state of equal employment opportunity (EEO) in the federal sector and contains a summary of selected federal agency EEO program activities, including work force profiles of 65 agencies.
"While the federal government continues to be a leader in workforce diversity, further progress is needed for it to become a model workplace for all employees," said Carlton Hadden, Director of EEOC's Office of Federal Operations. "Agencies should pay particular attention to increasing diversity among the Senior Executive Service and at the highest grade levels, as well as enhancing recruitment and retention of people with targeted disabilities."
Agency profiles contained in Part II highlight work force participation rates by race, gender, national origin and individuals with targeted disabilities, as well as the breakdown for major occupational categories. The report covers the period from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.
According to the latest data for FY 2011, there were more than 2.8 million women and men employed by the federal government across the country and worldwide. Of the total federal workforce, 56.19% were men and 43.81% were women. The overall participation rate for women fell slightly from 43.97% in FY 2010 after a period of steady gains.
Overall diversity in federal employment rose slightly in FY 2011, even as the total federal work force declined. According to the report, between FY 2010 and 2011 the work force participation rates increased for employees who are:
- Hispanic or Latino, from 7.90% to 7.95%;
- Asian, from 5.90% to 5.95%;
- Black or African American, from 17.94% to 17.97%; and
- Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, from 0.36% to 0.38 %.
Additionally, the number of federal employees with targeted disabilities rose to 0.90% after a consecutive 10-year decline, followed by three years of holding steady at 0.88%. Targeted disabilities are considered the most severe impairments and include deafness, blindness, missing extremities, partial or complete paralysis, convulsive disorders, intellectual disabilities, mental illness, and distortion of the limb and/or spine. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) collects
data for the total number of employees with disabilities government-wide.
In FY 2011, the federal government modified the way that it captures certain pay data for federal employees. As a result, EEOC needed to retool its reporting and reconstitute 10 years of data for trending purposes. Readers and users of the report are therefore advised to use caution in making any comparisons between FY 2011 senior level pay data and the senior level pay data reported in earlier years. Further information on statistical reporting changes is available online at www.www.eeoc.gov/federal/reports/fsp2011_2/facts.cfm.
The FY 2012 Annual Report on the Federal Work Force Part I: Complaints Processing Statistics covers the period of October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012 and contains measures of agencies' progress toward achieving the essential elements of a model EEO program.
According to the report, EEO complaints government-wide are decreasing. Further, timely completions of agency investigations government-wide are up slightly while the percent of timely issued merit decisions declined from last year. Among the key statistics included in the report are:
- Of the 34,521 instances of pre-complaint counseling by agencies in FY 2012, more than half (54.2%) did not result in a formal complaint.
- In FY 2012, 15,837 complaints were filed alleging employment discrimination against federal agencies - a decrease of almost 7% compared to the prior year.
- Government-wide, a total of 10,226 investigations were completed in an average of 187 days in FY 2012, a slight increase in days from the prior year.
- Agencies paid monetary benefits to EEO complainants totaling $51.4 million in FY 2012, up 18.2% from the prior year. An additional $10.8 million was paid out to complainants in response to EEOC appellate decisions, a 17.4% jump from the prior year.
The Office of Federal Operations (OFO) is designing a new format for its FY 2013 Annual Report. With that in mind, OFO anticipates announcing a survey to federal agencies in the coming months for reformatting and data uses, as well as data availability suggestions. The survey results will assist OFO in designing its new report formats and data file releases.
OFO also plans to release two other reports before the end of September, 2014. These reports will address implementation of the fifth priority contained in the EEOC agency-wide Strategic Plan: Preserving Access to the Legal System.
Within the confines of the federal sector, the two upcoming reports will address:
- Providing employees with adequate information about their rights under federal EEO laws, rules and regulations, and
- Common errors by federal agencies in dismissing complaints of discrimination on procedural grounds.
The first report will be issued as a practical guide on various methods to ensure that agency employees and applicants have access to their legal rights regarding the federal sector EEO process under the 29 C.F.R. Part 1614 - the major regulation governing the EEO process. The report will address EEOC's expectation that federal agencies, whenever possible, will utilize electronic methods to make EEO rights information available for its employees and applicants in an expeditious manner.
The second report will show the percentage of dismissal decisions made by federal agencies of EEO complaints by employees or applicants, which OFO must reverse and remand back to the originating agency for further processing. The report will provide additional guidance for federal agencies making dismissal decisions in order to reduce dismissal decision reversals and ultimately prevent delays in EEO case processing.
EEOC is charged with monitoring federal agency compliance with EEO laws and procedures, reviewing and assessing the effect of agencies' compliance with requirements to maintain continuing affirmative employment programs to promote equal employment opportunity, and to identify and eliminate barriers to equality of employment opportunity.
The EEOC enforces laws prohibiting discrimination in the federal and private sectors. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

School is back in session, and things are getting busier at the George Bush Presidential Library Center.
A fascinating new exhibit, Genome: The Secret of How Life Works, opened Aug. 25 in the Ansary Gallery of American History at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
Designed for all ages, the Genome exhibit explores the nature and impact of advances in genome research through visually rich environments, interactives, artifacts and multi-media presentations. Other exhibits in the museum's rotunda and gallery spaces will highlight research programs conducted at Texas A&M University and Texas A&M AgriLife Research.
This exhibit will allow us to highlight the work and accomplishments in the field of genomics by several leading organizations, showcasing the realization of the vision that began with President George H.W. Bush.
In 1989, President Bush signed into law the appropriations for The Human Genome Project and mapping of the human genome was completed in 2003 during President George W. Bush's administration. The project accomplished its mission of identifying the more than 20,000 genes in human DNA and determining the complete sequence of the 3 billion DNA subunits (basis of the human genome).
In conjunction with the Genome exhibit, there will be monthly issues forums by experts discussing a wide range of topics related to genetics, health, agriculture and more. The first issues forum is Sept. 18 and will offer insight into important historical advances in a presentation about "Norman Borlaug and the Future of the Green Revolution" by Ron Phillips, a Regents Professor Emeritus and former McKnight Presidential Chair in Genomics at the University of Minnesota. Reserve a seat free online at ronphillips.eventbrite.com.
We will also begin a new classic film series, "The Mysteries of Life," starting Sept. 13 with Laura, a 1944 film featuring Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews. This month, we are partnering with Sam Houston State University to bring in biography author Carl Rollyson. Following the movie, we will have a book sale and signing of his newest book, Hollywood Enigma: Dana Andrews.
The Genome exhibit will be on display through July 5. For more information about Genome: The Secret of How Life Works, go to bushlibrary.tamu.edu/genome.
For anybody coming to an Aggie sports game, we still have the Aggie Athletics ticket special happening. Just show your ticket from any A&M home sporting event this fall and receive $2 off regular admission price.
For more information about these or any of our other events, exhibits or education programs, please visit our website at bushlibrary.tamu.edu.

- SECRET SERVICE AGENTS SENT HOME FOR EXCESSIVE DRINKING. Three members of an elite counter-assault team were sent home for excessive drinking hours before President Obama was to arrive in Amsterdam this week, a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service confirmed to ABC News. Secret Service personnel on official trips are prohibited from drinking alcohol 10 hours prior to duty. The counter-assault team members were drinking Saturday evening and Sunday morning ahead of a Sunday briefing – a violation of the rule, the spokesman said, according to ABC's ANN COMPTON. The incident, first reported in the Washington Post, comes in the wake of other misbehaving law enforcement officials assigned to prepare the way for a presidential visit. ABC's JONATHAN KARL reports from Brussels on the latest controversy. WATCH: http://abcn.ws/NT4TZx
- BACKSTORY: The episodes have not involved the plainclothes Secret Service agents who shadow the president wherever he goes, but the uniformed squads that work behind the scenes. The counter-assault teams – usually dressed in all-black combat attire, including a gray-and-white U.S. flag designed not to stand out on their uniforms – are deployed in presidential motorcades a few vehicles behind the limousine and at airports where Air Force One takes off and lands. The counter-assault teams are elite units that undergo rigorous extra training. While uniformed agents surround a president when he is in public, the CAT teams are military-style combat units designed to evacuate those in danger and repel anyone attacking a president.
- ON THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA: President Obama spent his morning touring the Flanders Field Cemetery, the only American World War I cemetery in Belgium. After participating in a wreath-laying ceremony, the president delivered brief remarks reaffirming the strong U.S.-Belgium relationship, according to ABC's MARY BRUCE. The president will holds a press conference at the Council of the E.U. and later he will deliver a speech at the Palais Des Beaux Arts, where he is expected to highlight the current events in Ukraine in a broader context. In the evening, Obama departs Brussels for Rome.
ABC's RICK KLEIN: The latest non-waiver that impacts the substance of the Affordable Care Act relies on the … honor system? According to The Washington Post, procrastinators can still obtain health coverage under Obamacare after the March 31 deadline – the one that we've been told could not and would not change – if they check a box saying they tried to enroll before the deadline but didn't complete the process. This is beyond the pure politics of Obamacare at this point; another waiver, call it whatever you like, won't be the thing that convinces undecided voters whether the law works or not. But how will insurance companies that have long wanted finality and certainty react? And will the administration commit to releasing numbers to the public when the enrollment deadline comes, if the deadline just got softer than ever?
ABC's JEFF ZELENY: With the political winds blowing against them, Senate Democrats are trying to fight back on issues as part of their strategy to appeal to working-class voters. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his team unveil their new legislative push today, starting with raising the minimum wage to $10.10. They are branding it, "A fair shot for everyone," the latest in the party's effort to call out the Kochs and other big GOP spenders. The legislation isn't going anyway, with House Republicans firmly opposed to a minimum wage increase, but it will give Democrats a platform to make their case in a year that remains decidedly difficult for them.
ABC's MICHAEL FALCONE: Former – and potentially future – presidential candidate Rick Santorum is headed back to his "second home" today. No, not Pennsylvania, which he once represented in the U.S. Senate. We're talking about Iowa. This week Santorum is taking another trip to the Hawkeye State, which looms over the presidential nominating process. His agenda includes interviews on several local television and radio shows as well as an appearance at a fundraiser for Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz, who is running for Congress. And, according to a source close to Santorum, "he will also be holding private meetings throughout the day with his senior Iowa advisors who planned and carried out his victorious 2012 Iowa Caucus campaign." It's another jam-packed itinerary for the former presidential contender who is clearly keeping his options open for 2016. To him, Iowa feels just like home.
ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ: Two Republican lawmakers will introduce a bill today that would ban online gambling, including the popular game of online poker. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C, and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, will unveil a measure Wednesday morning that would reform the Wire Act and would prohibit online gaming. The move will likely be met by criticism from the online poker community, but it will be welcome news to Republican mega donor and casino titan Sheldon Adelson, who wants to eliminate online gambling.
THE FIRST GRANDMOTHER: NOW YOU SEE HER, NOW YOU DON'T. She is rarely seen, but Marian Robinson, mother of first lady Michelle Obama, is a major presence in the Obama household. On this year's spring break trip to China, Robinson accompanied her daughter and granddaughters Sasha and Malia on the soft-power diplomatic mission, ABC's ABBY PHILLIP notes. Back in 2008, Robinson was a somewhat reluctant transplant to the White House. Actually, her son, Craig Robinson, described her as having been dragged "kicking and screaming" into the presidential fishbowl. Friends and family told the Chicago Tribune that Robinson, now 76, simply preferred to live in her own home and away from the constant media attention. Since then, however, she has been something of a second mother to her grandchildren and has managed to stay far from the media spotlight that the other Obama family members often live in. Occasionally, however, you can spot her when she accompanies the first family on foreign trips like the one they took to Africa last year, and she can be seen at White House Christmas events, and at the occasional college basketball game to watch son Craig coach the Oregon State team. http://abcn.ws/1dsEKx7
OBAMA SAYS RUSSIA IS 'REGIONAL POWER,' NOT AMERICA'S TOP GEOPOLITICAL FOE. With Moscow showing no signs of backing down from the standoff over Ukraine, President Obama yesterday took a swing at Russian President Putin's status on the global stage — describing Russia as simply a "regional power," according to ABC's JONATHAN KARL and MARY BRUCE. "America's got a whole lot of challenges. Russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors — not out of strength, but out of weakness," Obama said at a joint press conference yesterday with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte. Asked by ABC News if he now agrees with former political rival Mitt Romney's assertion that Russia is America's top geopolitical foe, Obama pushed back, saying: "Russia's actions are a problem. They don't pose the number one national security to the United States. I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan." http://abcn.ws/1m44PSJ
–MORE FROM OBAMA: "Ukraine has been a country in which Russia had enormous influence for decades — since the breakup of the Soviet Union. And you know, we have considerable influence on our neighbors. We generally don't need to invade them in order to have a strong cooperative relationship with them. The fact that Russia felt compelled to go in militarily and lay bare these violations of international law indicates less influence, not more," he added. With roughly 30,000 Russian troops amassed on the border with Ukraine, Obama said the U.S. is "concerned about further encroachment by Russia into Ukraine." "We oppose what appears to be an effort of intimidation, but Russia has a right, legally, to have its troops on its own soil. I don't think it's a done deal. And I think that Russia's still making a series of calculations," he said. http://abcn.ws/1m44PSJ
IOWA SENATE CANDIDATE THREATENS DC WITH 'CASTRATION'. If conservative U.S. Senate candidate Joni Ernst gets a chance to come to Washington, she's promising to make it hurt. In her first television campaign ad, Ernst, who is running in a crowded and competitive Republican primary in Iowa, not-so-subtly threatened to castrate Washington spendthrifts. And she has the credentials to back up her warning, ABC's ERIN DOOLEY notes. "I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm. So when I get to Washington, I'll know how to cut pork," she says in the 30-second spot, as a pig squeals in the background. http://abcn.ws/1ffaNvm
CONGRESS COMING TOGETHER TO OVERHAUL METADATA COLLECTION. Congressional intelligence leaders yesterday introduced bipartisan legislation to end bulk collection of metadata under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, including telephone, email and Internet metadata, closely tracking a decision by President Obama to seek congressional approval of the program's changes, ABC's JOHN PARKINSON reports. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers and Ranking Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger introduced the FISA Transparency and Modernization Act of 2014. The bill also codifies a ban on the bulk collection of firearm sales records, library records, medical records, tax returns, educational records and other sensitive personal records. "We think that we have found a way to end the government's bulk collection of telephone metadata and still provide a mechanism to protect the United States and track those terrorists who are calling into the United States to commit acts of terror," Rogers, R-Mich., said. "This is a significant step, and important step. We think the White House is now moving toward our position on this. We've been sharing text with them for the last few weeks. We think this is an important step for them, for a bipartisan solution in moving forward so that we can get onto other important matters in the intelligence business." http://abcn.ws/1j3axEo
PHARRELL'S BOLD PREDICTION ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON. Hillary Clinton hasn't even announced whether she's going to run for president in 2016, but according to Pharrell she's going to win, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ notes. In the April issue of GQ, the "Happy" singer and Arby-hat-wearing producer and rapper gave a rousing endorsement of the former Secretary of State and made his 2016 prediction clear. "Let me tell you why she's going to win," he told GQ. "Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Bloods; you got the Crips. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red. That means there's unity. There's gonna be unity." Pharrell cited Clinton's gender and pro-abortion stance as the determining factors for why he believes she'll be the next president. http://abcn.ws/1dKC4Ft

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
16 Aug 2011 15:30 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Jordan, Syria, Turkey
Syrian tanks again opened fire on besieged districts in the northern port city of Latakia, residents said, in the fourth day of a military assault aimed at crushing protests against President Bashar al-Assad.
Troops were removing bodies from the main square in the city on Tuesday, and some areas were on lockdown, sources told Al Jazeera.
A resident of the al-Ramel al-Janoubi neighbourhood, who called himself 'Ismail', told Al Jazeera that random shelling from gunboats and tanks continued in Latakia. He said five people had already been killed, and snipers were stationed around the city, shooting at anyone who ventured into the streets.
Live Box 20117693233259422
"What's happeninig [in Latakia] is really severe. Shooting is still there and the buildings are occupied by others. The moment they see anything moving they will shoot it," Ismail said.
"Yesterday we had a lot of problems in this area, a daughter was killed and her father was killed... No one is safe in this area."
Al Jazeera cannot independently verify reports from Syria because of restrictions on reporting in the country.
'Thousands' arrested
Other activists have told Al Jazeera that "a large group of security forces dressed as civilians were chanting 'We will sacrifice our blood and our souls for you Bashar al-Assad'," our correspondent Nisreen el-Shamayleh said, reporting from the Jordanian side of the Syria-Jordan border.
She added that "thousands" who were arrested in Latakia on Monday were still being held at the Sports City Stadium there, according to witnesses.
"They are still being held captive, have been stripped of their IDs, have not been let out, they have had to stay overnight at the stadium, and have not been given food or water."
The Syrian Revolution Coordinating Union, a grassroots activists' group, said at least six people were killed in Latakia on Monday, bringing the civilian death toll there to 35, including a two-year-old girl, Reuters reported.
A resident told the Reuters news agency that heavy machine gun fire, explosions and intermittent tank fire were heard in the neighbourhoods of al-Ramel, the site of a Palestinian refugee camp, and al-Shaab on Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, a senior official in the Palestine Liberation Organisation spoke out about the violence used against Palestinian refugees.
"The shelling is taking place using gunships and tanks on houses built from tin, on people who have no place to run to or even a shelter to hide in," Yasser Abed Rabbo, the PLO secretary general, told Reuters. "This is a crime against humanity."
Escalating crackdown
The crackdown has escalated since the beginning of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, when nightly prayers became the occasion for more protests against Assad and 41 years of Baathist rule.
"We hope for international intervention, and we need a military intervention, because we need to stop the mass killing. We need to stop the acts and we need to sort it out," Ismail told Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera's Nisreen El-Shamayleh reports from the Jordanian side of the Syria-Jordan border.
Residents told Al Jazeera on Monday that the army used heavy machine guns and tanks, and forced thousands of residents - including many Palestinian refugees - to flee their homes. Many had been rounded up in the sports stadium as they attempted to escape the city.
Chris Gunness, a spokesman for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, said 5,000 to 10,000 residents of a Palestinian refugee camp in the al-Ramel area of the city had been fleeing after the camp came under fire.
El-Shamayleh said residents there called the assault the "most atrocious attack" since protests against Assad's government began five months ago.
"People are trying to flee but they cannot leave Latakia because it is besieged. The best they can do is to move from one area to another within the city," a witness told Reuters.
Diplomatic pressure
Meanwhile, in the central city of Homs, a witness told Al Jazeera that 12 people were killed after security forces fired on people after Ramadan prayers on Monday night.
Activists also reported random arrests in the capital, Damascus.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
Syria faces mounting diplomatic pressure to end its crackdown on protests, with Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, on Monday threatening Damascus with unspecified "steps" if it failed to do so.
Davutoglu said the bloodshed must end "immediately and without conditions or excuses".
"If the operations do not end, there would be nothing more to discuss about steps that would be taken," he said, without saying what that action could include.
Jordan also urged Syria to stop violence and start implementing reforms.
"Prime Minister Maaruf Bakhit today telephoned his Syrian counterpart Adel Safar and told him that violence must stop immediately," the state-run Petra news agency reported.
"Bakhit said Syria should listen to reason and start implementing reforms."

Activists say 25 people killed as warships and tanks reportedly shell the northern port in an ongoing assault.

Who makes gorgeous crackle subway tiles that look hand-made?
I have been searching and searching for just the right tile for my backsplash, but I am not finding exactly what I want. Can any of you tell me who manufactures gorgeous, crackle-glazed subway tiles that look hand-made and aren't ridiculously expensive? (preferably under $20 a square foot, if possible). (I am assuming that an authentic hand-made tile would cost much more, but if you know of any that aren't too expensive, I'd love to know about those, too!)
I love the traditional, old- world, classic kind of look. I love tiles that have lots of variation in surface texture and in the glaze color. It does seem to be hard to get that glaze variation in the off-white color I am looking for; I have only seen that in the darker colors. Maybe an off-white tile with an overglaze of a slightly darker shade would give the look I am after? Does anyone know of a tile like that? I need a "biscuit", "cream", or "bone" type of color to blend with my light, creamy colored granite. I'd love to see photos of your tiles and backsplashes, if you have any.
Also, if anyone has any subway tile backpslashes with decos and/or borders/listellos, etc., I'd love to see them for ideas. I'd also love to see any examples of 2-tone subway tile backsplashes (where the border or decoratives are different colors than the field tiles). I've seen that done on some beautiful sample boards in various tile shops, but have never seen it in real life. Thanks so much.
Try Jeffrey Court Irish Ice--I was quoted 17/sq foot from a tile shop. I have been looking at crackle tile for a while and that one seems to have the shading variations you describe, but not the surface texture. I would say the surface is more even--maybe someone else can chime in here. Two kitchens I know of on garden web that have the JC are cpartist and waltbc.
Artistic abode tile may have something that will work
Here is a link that might be useful: Artistic Abode Tile
walker zanger has some nice ones but they are not cheap. i am going with horus tiffany crackle in bianco at ~7-8SF. not hand made but does have the nice crackle effect. keep in mind if you go hand made the grout lines will likely need to be wider. that may not be an issue but you should be aware of that up front.
Walker Zanger has some surprising prices if you find discontinued/closeouts that you like. I got some gorgeous WZ Mizu crackle, which seems to fit all of the OP's criteria for surface and glaze variation (though it's a 2x5 and not a true subway tile). And it was on closeout for $14 or so. I know the Mizu line has an off-white. I think they call it Pearl. If it's still available, you might like it.
I used Emser Cape Cod Cream Artisan crackle tile and I am very happy with it. It's handmade, wavy surface, uneven edges. I got quoted $25/ft in local stores but found a place in Florida (online) that I paid around $14/ft for it.
Sorry, these photos are a low quality.
You can look on Emser's site for a couple other colors. I looked at several others and liked these the best.
Thanks everyone for your help. This is such a fantastic web-group.
elle- I love the Jeffrey Court Ice--I will have to find a dealer and check it out.
clweed-the artistic abode tiles look interesting- I will have to check them out as well.
ellendi- I have looked at Grazi's tiles, but couldn't find a color that seemed to work well. I do like the tile, though, very much.
sas95 & babushka cat--I hadn't heard of Walker Zanger- thanks for the tip. The Pearl Mizu tile looks gorgeous- I will have to find a dealer.
adh673- that emser tile is gorgeous,I'll have to check that out, too! It looks so beautiful with your granite. Is that a bianco romano granite?
We just installed the JC Irish Ice subway in the limerick color (link to progress pictures below - sorry for the poor picture quality). We paid about $15/sq.ft. for the subway tile and about double that for the "special" pieces (trim and 2x2 medley). You may also want to check Adex USA, they have a crackle subway in several creamy colors. I called their main office in FL for a list of dealers and they were very nice. I think that tile would have been under $10/sq ft., but I was looking for green and preferred the green that JC offered over the Adex green.

Fun2Learn, I just ordered handmade off-white subway tiles for my backsplash, and they were well under $20 per sq ft. They are not crackled, so they may not be what you're looking for, but we were thrilled with them. They are a matte finish, which was the important factor for me, and they have a lot of variation. In case a non-crackle off-white subway is of interest, these are Seneca "satin" tiles in Lambswool. I should have pics in another couple of weeks, after they're installed.
Kimba, your tile is gorgeous. I have had a teeny sample of the Irish Ice tipperary on my counter for weeks, but it doesn't have the shading that I love so much.
I also love the Emser, but have not seen that company in any of the stores I have visited. Love the wavy edges :)
Back to the OP, I have seen the Rixi as someone suggested and it is also beautiful. And less expensive :) If you google (images) grazia rixi crema or mandoorla you will see some gardenweb kitchens with this tile.
I never saw the emser in local stores either, I sent them an email and they sent me free samples. They have a cream and brown overglaze one I also considered and still wonder how it would have looked.
here again is the ivory
I had tried to get a pic of the wavy surface but I dont think it really worked.
My granite is western sage brush.
Thank you elle3! IRL there is a good bit of shading / variation on each tile and especially across the whole field (that definitely did not come across in my lousy photos)
I loved the tipperary color (which sat on my counter for some time), and thought it blended better with my granite than the limerick, but did not blend as well with the cabinets.
Fun2learn, I looked at the adex hampton crackled tile as mentioned by Kimba and they have it in a beveled version, which is also very pretty.
Kimba, I'm looking forward to seeing your tile grouted. The mosaic is a perfect companion to the tipperary.
Adh673, the tile you chose looks fabulous--and the pic of the wavy surface is great. I love the one with the brown glaze too--
There is another tile I saw while searching the web last night called merola cobbled subway with crackle glaze. It's on the home depot website of all places. It's pricey at $18 a sq. foot.
Here is a link that might be useful: merola cobbled subway
I am so glad that I posted the question here--you all have found some gorgeous tiles that look like they might be just what I wanted!!! Your emser tile is very nice, adh--I love the one with the overglaze!!!My cabinets are honey-spice maple so I wonder if the warmer over-glaze would help tie it in to the tones of the cabinet and not look so stark in contrast. The Jeffrey court is gorgeous-too. I will have to check out the color in person. The merola looks gorgeous, too. I wonder if Home Depot takes returns on special orders- so I could order a little as a sample?
I notice that most of the pics I see with subway tiles have white or off-white cabinets. Mine are honey spice. Do you think it will look as nice with them? Maybe I should post another thread asking for photos!
We're using Grazia Listelli in Laguna. They also have a white and cream color available. The shape is a little more modern than a traditional subway in that its 2.5" X 10". But they look great to me. The price is well under your $20/sq ft. goal!
Close Up
Wow. While browsing this thread I didn't see a single tile I didn't like. They are all gorgeous. adh, your granite and tile combination is so pretty. Zacs daddy, you must be so happy with the way your kitchen is coming together. Love the green tile.
Here's a place... haven't ordered from them but found them googling.
Here is a link that might be useful: Grazia Rixi
Just received shipment of Grazia Rixi from Italian Tile in New York and was happy to work with Peter Valerio who was very patient to work with as I figured out exactly how much and what colors I needed. Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Grazia Rixi
I, too, used Garcia Rixi tile for my backsplash. I used the Crema color and am very pleased with how it came out. The tile is not crackled as much as some of the ones above, and may not look hand-made enough for the OP, but it is a beautiful tile and not as expensive as some of the ones mentioned. The extra little trim pieces, however, do add quite a bit to the cost.
From Backsplash
Hi. I am the Original poster of this thread from back in March, and was surprised, and happy, to see it "resurrected recently!. I also live in Maryland, like Briannadarnell and wanted to let her, and others living near her, know of another great tile shop in her area, Atlas Tile and Marble in Arnold (just south of Severna Park), that also carries Grazia tiles and is very good about ordering samples for you. They have a very large selection of tiles and very helpful sales staff (though I hear it is very crowded on Saturdays!) Hope this helps.
By the way-- I STILL haven't quite decided on my backsplash tiles! I am waiting on a few samples to come in, and I am also considering an unusual type of natural marble , called biancone (or also called bianco antico marble- (not the granite)or perlino biancone). It is the perfect color in the tumbled version to blend with my granite (a very slight off-white with minimal veining), but it is so unusual, I am having trouble locating it in the sizes I want. I actually had asked here on this forum if anyone had ever used it and got zero response! So I think sticking with a crackle subway will be the "safer choice", so I will probably go with that.
Since revisiting these posts, I realized that I never did get a sample of that beautiful Emser tile. I have seen a sample of the Adex Hampton crackle tile and their "bone" color is also a good match. It comes in both 3 x6 and 2 x 8- so if I go with theirs I will have trouble deciding what size to go with!!! Decisions, decisions!
I have alabaster white kitchen cabinets with ubba tuba granite counters. I need help chosing a complimentary backsplash tile. I really like subway tile,but can't seem to decide on one. I like the crackle handmade tiles, but the one I liked is going to cost me $2880 to tile my backsplash. I think thats alot for a backsplash. Help
I can supply crackle subway tile in China in very competitive price in China. I also can arrange sending goods to your door. The price is range of $3/sf to $12/sf based on different color and quantity. Please send me your specific requirement for quote.
Hi- I know that this thread is from forever ago but I'm trying to find this tile! According to the post above, it's made by emser but I couldn't find it on their site. There is a crackled one on their site but I'm looking for smooth.
Crackle tile with handmade look without the high cost?
I wanted to just throw in my own 2 cents after a lengthy search for the perfect crackle tile for us......
We wanted to stay neutral since we will be moving in 1 year with luck....so white was going to be the choice even though I was almost swayed buy Waterworks crackle tiles in the most gorgeous ICEBERG (pale aqua) I had ever seen....I talked myself out of it due to cost....still it makes me dream of one day.....and the possibility..lol.
If anyone is considering the crackle tiles to go with white cabinets and is looking for a budget friendly option, I would love to share my final choice after a long lengthy search process.
My main criteria was price point, it has to look great and honestly don't forget the tone of the white. I needed a white that would go with my Dove White Durham Kraftmaid cabinets.
By the way...If you are considering Kraftmaid from Lowes ask when the biggest promotions will be held. We waited for half off the finish of the cabinets, along with discounts from Lowes for buying more than 10 cabinets with a tiered discount. We did fantastic with almost 3 grand in discounts!!!
Anyway....sorry....back to the tile....it is amazing how long it takes to contact stores and online places to send samples....too long, and some of them you have to purchase. But after spending countless hours, I hope to save at least one of you from this time and energy waste if you are on the fence about looks, color and cost....
I went with COBSA CRACKLE in White. My "go to" guy from now on is VINCENT at Virginia Tile and Stone in Charlottesville VA. Even if I move honestly he is AMAZING!! 434-817-8453. Tell him I sent you!
Even if you are going with another brand of tile, give him a call and see what he can do....they have a HUGE BASE OF SUPPLIERS!
I want to show you the 3 last contenders and my ultimate final choice...
Top tile is Horus Art Cristalli with finer crazing and handmade look.
Middle is Horus Art Tiffany with larger crazing straight edges and great pricing.
Bottom tile is my pick a no brainer Cobsa Crackle White hand made look.
The Cobsa tended to look more white to me than the tiffany and the handmade look is just the right Euro look I wanted....
My only word of caution is to have your tile shipped by LTL shipping rather than ups or fed-ex due to the nature of the product you just don't want broken tiles....
I hope you find the tile right for you.....and hopefully this helped a little....
Happy Hunting...
Thank you so so so much atelierdefleurs! I've emailed your contact about the cobsa. Coincidentally, I have a sample of a 3x6 cobsa from a local store and I absolutely love it. I believe I was quoted $12/SQft. Hoping to do a bit better on it.
I'm going to order samples of the Horus Cristalli from tilesdirect.net
Their prices seem almost too good to be true at 8.50/SQ ft. Is the Cristalli a smooth gloss finish with uneven edges? That's basically what I'm looking for. It's hard to tell in the picture.
Dear Viennamommy19,
I am so glad this info contact info might be of help!
Vincent is one guy that is on the ball...sharp as a tack!
As to your question about the Cristalli, I can say it's smoother than the Cobsa, but not at all smooth as glass, like the Horus Tiffany. The Tiffany has very smooth sides and level on the top like glass.
As pretty as the Cristalli is, I cannot see the crackle in the tile from more than
2 feet away....too fine a crackle.
The Tiffany is very beautiful especially for the crazy good price at buytile.com.
The price I was given by Vincent was so good it was an easy yes, but I trully love the wave edge and irregular top glaze because it just has a great look to it..? Handmade euro flair...
Remember to factor in shipping charges by freight....it varies by company.
I was thrilled with Virginia Tile and Stone.....
Now onto granite....gulp?
If I can help just ask......
Hoping his price on cobsa is good enough that I can spring for it. I'm only a few hours from Charlottesville and I offered to pickup in store if that helped my rate but it makes sense that it's all coming from the manufacturer elsewhere.
This whole process isn't nearly as fun as I thought it would be. So stressful!!
Honestly his price was SO good, I scrambled to get the payment to him like yesterday! Not kidding!
Yes the tile came right from COBSA....fast too...!
If you really want the cost low, a ride might be nice this time of year....? But it might be just as low to get it to your door?
This process for tile is a piece of cake compared to cabinets....gosh I do believe the granite will finish me off for sure, laughing....
Let me know how you make out.....are your cabinets white?
Cabinets are soft white Shiloh and we're doing either Montclair danby or cararra on the island. Might do absolute black honed on the perimeter- depends on costs.
I'm mixing a lot of whites and creams in my kitchen so not concerned about everything matching per say. If we do Carerra all around, I'll prob go with a whiter tile. If we do the danby and absolute black ill choose something a bit creamer but not much.
You sound like your taste is about the same as mine! Very classic and timeless....Glass upper cabinets and solid lowers. Pendant lights....Dark cherry oak floors... (very red tones) Chrome bin pulls both large 6" and small mixed. I figure if I go on a color tantrum it will be in the form of glassware, towels runners etc. until I get over it lol.
Did you have all of these samples? Let me know...or I can take a better pic outside today?
Oh noooo brick veneer?
Gosh I am feeling for you, uh is right!
Maybe they are making it look more realistic these days?
Does your hubby like the rustic flavor of the Cobsa?
Did you have white or cream in your ssmple?
If you want to see the white let me know.....I can send you one ok?
I think I might have told him the brick was too expensive lol......
Never heard from Vincent by the way (I emailed). Will have to call tomorrow. I have the white cobsa sample but would love to see off white. DH thinks it's "ok". He's really not a fan of subways but I think he'd tolerate the cobsa or one of the horus options.
We're looking at real brick- it's really beautiful actually. http://www.inglenooktile.com
We're ordering a sample of a distressed red and black brick with an antiqued white surface. I think it would pickup the black on the island cabinetry and the red accents in our adjacent family room beautifully. We shall see;)
I'm torn between the two looks because I really want the marble to be the star in the room but the brick is such an interesting idea because it ties everything together without trying too hard. Make sense?
Well...I think if you want the marble to be the star then the brick might be too much on the eyes...? I have a huge double sided fireplace in the same "great" room and painted it white to tone it down.....we blew out a wall and now it's one large room with a 93" reclaimed wood farm table. I figured the stove and granite and glass upper cabinets is enough on the eyes. I would like a rustic mantle thougn? laughing.....
But then again maybe your idea of the white washed brick could work? Is it possible to buy a couple sq.ft. to try it out for a week or two?
I must say if you went with the Tiffany it is pretty glittery with lights hitting it.
The rustic nature of the Cobsa had me at first sight.....I was a gonner ......
Follow your heart..... ; v)
Let hubby pick some colorful completor items to go with your "classic" kitchen...
AKA you will most likely need a floor runner or two, and some new hand towels and oven mitts....hee hee those will wear out hopefully ; v>
Then you can replace those...it's a win win right?
Make sure to take him to a cool store though....laughing....keeping the damage tolerable!
This is actually the best way to change it up anyway....I always go thru color
Hi Atelier! The horus samples arrived today!! Wow are they gorgeous!!! Both DH and I loved the cristalli the most. Love the uneven lines and the gorgeous crackle. Unfortunately, the lightest of the whites isn't white enough. It's practically identical to my soft white shiloh cabinets, and i dont expect that will change even when they are up on the walls.
I think we will likely go with the Horus broadway in latte. The color is perfect. Will still have to track down a Cobsa in a soft white but I think it will be hard to beat $7.50/sq ft
Any other suggestions to check out? Cannot thank you enough for your help!!!
Well Viennamommy19 what did you go with???
Or are you still on the fence?
I know how hard it is to pick one tile that speaks to you....it just about made me nutso!
Honestly there are so many that are gorgeous....makes it harder!
I hope you found your true love or at least a happy medium....let us know will you?
Did you get in touch with Vincent and if so, did you find anything you liked?
Best of luck on your search!
I had samples of the Horus Art Broadway and it is sooooo nice, expensive look to it, and my second choice but the color not as good a match as a Jeffery Court tile I ended up with.
Good luck and be sure and post a picture of the Broadway, or whatever you choose.
I'd love to see your tile, Tinker! I'm surprised to see that shipping 48sq ft of tile is $200!!! I'm going to give Vincent a call tomorrow to see if the Cobsa is cheaper. I prefer the warmer color of the Horus Broadway but budget is critical at this point!
Viennamommy, try tiledirect.net for a price on the Broadway tile.
I will post a pic of my JC Vintage Studio tile but I am sure you must have seen some of my posts.
Also, see the link to the same tile in 3 x 12 in this gorgeous reveal annetta. (hope she doesn't mind me linking it but sooooo pretty in her new kitchen!)

adh673-can't figure out how to email you but on the off chance you see this, can you let me know if you think that emser cape cod would look okay with white shaker cabinets and white marble? I can't tell from your picture how white youre cabinets are. Mine are white. Love the tile (I have a sample in hand) but wonder how it'll look up against white. Thanks!
Klcharles- it will look cream. My cabinets are "soft white" - pretty much light cream and it matches the tile exactly. They did have a white- or someone did but I didn't like it because you could see the clay color underneath in spots. Maybe a soft gray would work for you? Post a photo!


text: F7 error code the "fatal f7" Hector O. • El Paso, TX • October 26, 2014 My Repair & Advice Fixing was the most easy fix I've done. Only 8 screws take off and put back on. The part people need to understand is that what I did after I went on youtube and found out what the F7 error code was, I went on line and found APP and ordered the part. Yes, I thought it was expensive, but if you really think about it, It would have been more expensive to continue paying for an extended warranty period of 7 years than paying for the part. Thanks to the technician representative from AppliancePartsPros I was confident to order the part and replaced it myself and my stove was back to business. Recommend AppliancedPartsPros anytime. Was this review helpful to you?
