Anna Ong
Was It Ever Real?
My eyes unconsciously flickers once again
And I stare at the ominously unlit screen
No words can express my hurt, my pain
And my shattered little world crumbles unseen
My insecurity is a terrible hindrance
As my sanity daily I question
A multitude of emotions ravage my mind and soul
They hold sway to that which my heart dearly holds
I wonder why my heart perceives
So differently from that which my mind sees
I wonder why what you've told me
Falls so far from that which you've shown me
Can two shades so different from each other
Inhabit the same infinite realm?
Can two souls so intertwined together
Be torn asunder in a moment's anguish at another?
My afflicted mind demands a reason, any reason
Why when all I ever wanted to do
Was to wrap my arms around you
And tell you that everything's going to be alright
Why my only reward was a repulsed jerk, a hateful glare
A painful slap, filling me with such unbearable despair
I once promised I'll never walk away from you
Why oh why did you force me to
My breath shallows and slowly I give in to despondency
I swear I won't let this build up inside of me
Perhaps it's time I slipped silently away
You were everything I needed but was it ever real?

Brown had requested items from a fast food seafood restaurant for himself and his hostages, and a SWAT officer carrying the food approached the house in Suwannee, about 35 miles northeast of Atlanta.
Other SWAT members set off a stun blast to distract Brown and stormed the house. Brown opened fire on the first officer as he entered the bedroom. The man was hit in the left arm by one of the shots, but managed to return fire, killing Brown. Before Brown fired, police told him to drop his weapon, Walters said.
Exposed wooden beams could be seen through a gaping hole in the side of the house Thursday and debris littered the yard. Public records indicate the red brick house with white siding is in foreclosure and has been bank-owned since mid-November.
Next to Brown's home, another brick house with tan siding appeared to have even more damage. A large area of the side was missing, again with wooden beams and insulation exposed.
Jasmin Gutierez, 12, was at home with her family in that house Wednesday afternoon. They huddled in the master bedroom at the other end of the house.
"We started, like, at least trying to get in a group hug to save ourselves because we got scared," she said. "I mean there was a lot of people, like the SWAT teams and the police."
After a while, they heard a loud bang and then they heard shooting and black smoke started to fill their home and police knocked on the door to make sure they were all right.
After the hostage-taking was reported, dozens of police and rescue vehicles surrounded the home and a negotiator was keeping in touch with the gunman, police said. The situation remained tense until the blast rocked the neighborhood of mostly two-story homes and well-kept lawns.
"The explosion you heard was used to distract the suspect, to get into the house and take care of business," Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Edwin Ritter said in a news conference minutes after the ordeal ended. He said the situation had gotten to the point where authorities believed the lives of the hostages were in "immediate danger."
"It's an unfortunate circumstance we did not want to end this way," Ritter said. "But with the decisions this guy was making, this was his demise."
Firefighters were able to use their radios to let the dispatch center know what was going on and that's how negotiators communicated with Brown initially, Walters said. Once they got his cellphone service turned back on, they were able to speak to him by phone.
Fire officials did not believe there was any danger in responding to the initial call that seemed routine and dispatched the usual one engine and one ambulance to the house.
This was the second time in recent months that firefighters have been targeted.
On Dec. 24, a man in upstate New York set his house ablaze and shot and killed two firefighters as they arrived, then himself. Two other firefighters and a police officer were wounded.

No, That Wasn't Will Smith Reacting to Miley Cyrus
Last night's MTV Video Music Awards were full of memorable performances, but by far the most talked-about performance was from Miley Cyrus, who twerked, stuck her tongue out, and stripped down to a flesh-colored bikini for a rendition of "Blurred Lines."
It was raunchy and race-baiting—New York music critic Jody Rosen has called it "a minstrel show routine"—and the one photo that seemed to sum up everyone's feelings was Will Smith and his family's aghast reaction shot:
yyyoo look at Will Smith's family reaction to Miley!! pic.twitter.com/GlO320EmDB-- Nancy Drew (@chi_chibaby) August 26, 2013
The still went viral, and sites including BuzzFeed, Jezebel, Us Weekly, and Business Insider rushed to snag it from Twitter and post it. There's only one problem: They took Twitter as a reliable source. That wasn't Will and Jaden Smith reacting to Miley Cyrus. As you can tell from the bottom-right corner of the photo, they were reacting to Lady Gaga.
If you want to see plenty of other disgusted reactions that are actually to Cyrus—including a death stare from Rihanna (though the Smiths seem to be enjoying themselves)—you can watch Miley's performance below.
Update, Aug. 27, 2013: Here, via MTV, is video proof that the still was captured during Lady Gaga.
In fact, they seem to be enjoying her performance, which is just one more reason not to trust stills taken out of context and passed around on Twitter.

Last month at Governor Fallin's STEM Conference — the first-ever Oklahoma-wide event of its type to focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in our state — the audience heard alarming statistics.
Parents play critical role in STEM education in Oklahoma
Although the job market is increasingly requiring STEM-educated students, only 25 percent of high school graduates pursue STEM studies; only 15 percent earn a STEM-focused degree. Of those, less than 10 percent enter into a STEM-related career.
In Oklahoma, although more than 50,000 students enroll in STEM subjects, just over 5,000 typically graduate in STEM-focused disciplines.
STEM coursework, whether it be at the college level or through a CareerTech program, is demanding and rigorous. Students have to come prepared. They can't simply decide to become scientists, computer programmers or engineers when they sign up for their first year and expect to make the grade.
One-quarter of students interested in STEM majors or careers are taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school. That's where they begin to develop the problem-solving disciplines that are so in demand in business today.
But we can't wait until high school to engage our kids in science and technology. We must start much earlier to get and keep them excited and curious.
This job doesn't only fall to our educators and state curriculum. Parents have a big role to play.
We parents should be encouraging our daughters and sons toward STEM subjects and problem solving. We have to find ways to capture their interest and make it fun. We have to demand that our middle through high schools offer robust STEM classes — and we have to be willing to support the effort with our parenting and tax dollars.
Continue reading this story on the...
Since 2004, the expressed overall interest in STEM majors and careers among high school seniors has increased by more than 20 percent. However, high school seniors are about 10 percent less likely than freshman to indicate interest.

In Jerusalem archaeology is politics
The very stones of Jerusalem are political weapons in the age-old struggle for possession of the Holy Land. And nowhere is more sensitive than the great platform built by King Herod, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to the Muslims as the Haram al-Sharif, the Noble Sanctuary. To understand the current row over excavation and repair work just outside one of the gates onto the compound, it is important to know that here history, religion and politics meet. Nothing in Jerusalem can be understood without all three...

iPhone 6 on Release Date to Remain 4-Inch as Tim Cook Hints Quest Continues for Reliable Display Technology – Reports
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Erik Pineda | February 10, 2014 2:27 PM EST
There is no clear-cut assurance that the iPhone 6 on release date would sport a phablet-size screen, as Apple CEO Tim Cook hinted in an interview that before going for the larger display the next iPhone must first nail the reliable technology.
Nikola Cirkovic
More voices were added to the snowballing iPhone 6 discourse, its 2014 release date supposedly gaining more ground as a new render and fresh details defining the hotly-anticipated handset came out.
Speaking with The Wall Street Journal, Cook deftly manoeuvred into not discussing anything meaty about the rumoured iPhone 5S replacement as he insisted that fresh product categories from Apple are forthcoming this year.
Will there be an iOS phablet or a bigger screen and hybrid iPad that morphs into a laptop when users find the necessity for it? An iWatch perhaps?
The Apple big boss refused to delve on details, merely telling Daisuke Wakabayashi of The Wall Street Journal "we're not ready to talk about it."
He insisted, however, that "there will be new categories ... but we're working on some really great stuff."
Cook clarified too that his company is not completely ruling out the possibility of a large-screen iPhone, explaining that before entering the exploding phablet market Apple needs to seriously look into numerous considerations.
"There are many different parameters to measure a display and we care about all those, because we know that's the window to the software," the Apple chief was reported by Apple Insider as saying.
"We want to give our customers what's right in all respects - not just the size but in the resolution, in the clarity, in the contrast, in the reliability," he added.
In other words, Apple will not issue a handset that matches the burgeoning ranks of supersized Android smartphones just for the sake of finally competing in the phablet market. As the usual case, the iPhone maker want to first pinpoint the suitable technology for a display panel that dwarfs over its 4-inch iPhone 5S.
No compromise as Cook declared in interviews given last 2013.
Does this mean that the iPhone 6 expected to come out this year will keep the 4-inch profile that dates back to the iPhone 5?
It could be but Apple could also push for a major makeover of the existing iPhone model - upping its component capabilities and maybe stretching the screen size a bit. There might be a slight screen bump up but chances are, the next iPhone will not be as previously pictured in numerous speculations and report, Business Insider said.
Such likelihood is underpinned by earlier reports that for the 2014 iPhone, Apple will stick to most of the specs and features that were delivered last year via the iPhone 5S - keeping the handset's basic camera features with enhancements, of course, and maintaining the 4-inch viewing window.
But to test the phablet market, new iOS smartphones, bearing 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch screens, will be issued independent of the premium iPhone 6, which will boast of a display that adheres to existing iPhone optimal standard of one-hand navigation.
Regardless of what screen-size or how many builds would be unpacked, the iPhone 6 release date is pegged for the second half of 2014 with the following confirmed features: Liquidmetal casing, sapphire glass cover and coating, 64-bit A8 CPU and iOS 8.

Yay or Nay: Solange Knowles Does a Double Slit Dress
Monday December 10, 2012 by Alexandra C.
I recently put the lovely Solange Knowles on my top 10 most stylish celebs of 2012 list. While I still love the heck out of a Solange tune, after this outfit, I'm almost considering taking her spot back.
First let's tackle the hair: I'm totally a fan of the big, crazy blowout, but the 80's style bangs just aren't doing it for me. Not the best, but not the worst. We'll call it adequate. Her makeup is simple but she looks hawt. I've been going through a 'natural, no makeup phase' of late but this dark kohl is seriously changing my mind.
So, now we need to address the biggest issue at hand: the double slits. What is up with that? She's not the first celeb to try on this look. Carly Rae Jepsen attempted it and we've even debated this before when it came to Jessie J. It's not even that Solange looks bad, it's just that this style of dress is kind of ridiculous. Is it just me? Am I missing something when it comes to this trend?
On the plus side, I'm digging the accessories and her mani. So... there's that at least?
What do you think of this look? Is it a yay or a nay? Leave a comment below with your answer by December 16th and you could win!

The use of Terracotta for the production of tiles as roof material, dates back to ancient times; in this regard, we distinguish two basic types of roof tiles:
Barrel Tile - Also called coppo in Italian, cylindrical shaped, slightly tapered (conical section). It is the oldest form.
Flat Tile - Present in numerous geographical variants, according to if it was used as both cap and pan, or usually as pan to a barrel tile cap. In the latter case they are now known as "Roman Pans."
The evolution of the gable roof with limited slope, with fronton and roof cladding in terracotta tiles, takes place in the Peloponnese, soon becoming the most popular feature for monumental buildings. It then spread out to all the colonized regions of Asia Minor, Sicily and Magna Graecia.
In the Hellenistic period two very different systems of terracotta roof cladding – both for the types of tiles and for the shape and color of the decoration – developed: the Spartan and the Corinthian roofs. The Corinthian one, more articulated and decorated, substituted the Spartan roof from the VI century B.C.
The Spartan roof basically consisted of barrel (semi-cylindrical) roof tiles overlapping each other as caps and pans alternatively. The Corinthian roof, more complicated, presents in its earliest stages a wide variety of forms: flat tiles with lateral curved margins or raised at a right angle (known today as Roman Pans because they became popular during the Roman period); and the barrel or triangulare tiles as caps. Sometimes these where made of a single piece (a Progenitor of the "S-tile") we know today. Other special tiles that we still see today were created: for example the dedicated ridge tiles. The last elemnt of the roof would be antefixes - vertical blocks which terminate the covering tiles of a tiled roof, with a decorative and practical objective at the same time, adorning the building and stopping the birds from nesting inside the hole - conceived as a simple closure of the Roman Pan's end, with a palmette in relief.
Recreation of a Greek temple's Roof Cladding (G. A. Breymann, 1885)*
Greek colonies in western Sicily and Magna Graecia, developed a system of clay roof tiles that has traits of originality so we can actually identify a third type called Sicilian or Ionic. The characteristic feature of this system is represented by flat tiles combined with semi-cylindrical tiles. What most distinguished the Sicilian roof from the Spartan and Corinthian ones, however, is the absence of antefixes and the poverty of relief ornamentation.
Also in the Etruscan architecture, which preceded and for some centuries simultaneously developed with the Roman one, the use of terracotta elements for roof cladding had a long and important tradition.
The typical Etruscan roof is extremely decorated and colorful. The ridge of the roof is characterized by large tiles adorned with fantastic figures of wild beasts or deified ancestors; the gutter line is closed by the antefixes, often representing monstrous, comical and bizarre faces. The kinds of roof tiles used by the Etruscans are flat and barrel shaped and they overlap each other. We have also examples of Roman Pans adorned with a griffin head.
Recreation of an Etruscan temple, following the information of De Architectura by Vitruvio. (F. Bombardi, 1990)*
The clay roof cladding of the Etruscan temples, from the VI century B.C., shows influences from the Greek world in the shape of flat and semi-cylindrical tiles; the same thing happens with the antefixes female head-shaped.
The roof covering used by the Romans, followed straight from the Etruscan and Greek, in particular from the Sicilian model: the flat tiles overlap each other transversely in the direction of the slope of the roof. The barrel tiles are generally placed to cover the lateral connections of the tiles. Traingular caps dissapear in favour of the tapered barrel shape with one end wider than the other to help installation
Example of Roman roof made of both barrel and flat tiles.
The Roman flat roof tiles have a pretty standard shape (rectangular or trapezoidal), while there are several variables regarding the size. Like the flat tiles, also Roman barrel tiles have few variations: predominantly barrel shape is now the preferred shape and the coice being straight or tapered edges to fit with the rectangular or trapezoid pans. Their typical reddish-brown color was due to a strong firing required to make such products, porous by nature, more waterproof.
The same technology developed by the Romans survived the fall of the West Empire, transmigrating into Europe and, in particular, in the Italy of the early Middle Ages. The monumental Roman public buildings, many of which have fallen into disuse, were seen as major deposits of stones, bricks, and roof tiles.
During late Middle Ages, there were attempts to standardize the brick production. Of all the craftsmen active in various fields of building production, furnaces workers were the most subject to regulation. Governments attempted to control the prices of bricks in order to protect the public's interest in the area that covered the basic building material. It became essential to check the size of the bricks, as the furnace worker, when dealing with a selling fixed price, was tempted to cut costs by reducing the size of the product. So the second half of the thirteenth century onwards the municipal statutes of Venice, Padua, Pisa, Rome, Siena and other cities' fixed the measurements for the bricks and bags of lime and regulated prices for each product type. Municipal statutes built models of bricks that were used as official unit of measurement. Sometimes the official model was accessible and permanently exposed in a public place. A city where you can still see on public display samples of bricks and tiles is, among others, Assisi. There is a reference sizes tool ("Abaco") for the municipal measures for terracotta roof tiles and bricks at the base of the tower of Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, with an inscription bearing the date of 1349.

A legend says that the typical curved barrel tile's shape comes from the manufacturing, which used to take place on the top of the brick-maker's thigh. Actually the tiles were "formed" - this is the exact term - in a mold of wood, prepared by a laborer. The shape was convex and had the edges on all 4 sides, edges that allowed manual compression of the mud clay, called marl. The lines on the back of the tile originated from the fingerprints of the brick-maker, who pressed the clay into shape for 600/700, even 800 times a day. After the press, the artifact was left to dry in the sun for at least one/two hours. Once the wooden molds were all used, the brick-maker used to peel the raw tiles and put them in a bed of sand to make them dry. After 20/30 days of drying they were placed in the kiln and fired for several days.
In order to allow an efficient flow of rainwater, the use of the tiles had to be necessarily associated with the construction of pitched roofs; it means that tiles have been the exclusive roofing system until the advent of reinforced concrete (early 1900), which has allowed the construction of flat roofs, waterproofed by application of tarred paper. The use of tiles remains extremely popular for aesthetic reasons, preservation of scenic and historical heritage, and also for the efficiency of the material in terms of thermal and hydro insulation.
Roman Roof Tops: patching up roofs is an organic, ongoing process.
Given the extreme diversity of geographical contexts in which the tiles were used in Europe, it was inevitable that they would have evolved to various shapes and sizes.
The tile can also vary depending on its position on the roof (for example, those on the ridge are larger than those on the sloping areas). The color of the tiles is another important variable: it changes according to the different geographical regions because different clay produces different color tiles, but also different firing times and temperatures affect the final color.
This is still the most common type of roofing throughout Mediterranean countries and it is still considered very affordable.
The features that characterize terracotta roof tiles and make them the most popular choice are:
Excellent resistance to water and frost.
Exceptional thermal insulation by reducing unwanted heat loss or gain and decreasing the energy demands of heating and cooling system.
Longevity, a lifetime measured in centuries.
Porosity, which allows vapors formed underneath the roof to be absorbed and then evaporated on the outside.
Architectural versatility.
In Europe there are numerous clay roof tiles production centers that use both traditional techniques and innovative materials and designs.
It is important to say that it is becoming more and more popular in the construction and architecture industry to reclaim, resell and reuse old tiles, which have a unique and amazing allure due to time, wear and character.

CoorItalia is pleased to announce that Brombal USA, the manufacturers of its Steel and Bronze Windows and Doors, have passed Miami Dade certification.
There are a number of standards that regulate the air & water infiltration standards as well as deformation under stress. Whereas the majority of the USA works under AAMA Standard – 101/I.S.2-A440, the County of Miami Dade (because of their numerous hurricanes) additionally requires the units to twice successfully stop an 8', 9lb 2x4 that is fired at the window at 50fps (34mph).
Brombal USA are now the first company ever to offer thermally broken steel, bronze, stainless steel and corten hurricane and impact rated product. BROMBAL's EBE series 6' x 9' double door breezed its way through impact and hurricane testing with a DP rating of 65. That means that the units are tested for air, water infiltration and deformation at a wind equivalent of 160mph and any door that size (or less) is certified. Additionally, the 5' x 12' narrow sightline rectangular mulled fixed units also passed and are now officially impact and hurricane certified. The narrow sightline certification allows the units to be mulled together to encompass larger spans of glass and continue to maintain the hurricane and impact certification.
CoorItalia is proud to offer a range of artisans that work in many mediums. From our stone carvers, to our terra cotta makers to our window and door manufucturers, but none are quite like our own Iron Man. This particular atisan has a passion for wrought iron and his craft has been handed down for 14 generations! Since 1655 this Italian family has kept the art of iron alive. Take that Robert Downey Jr.!
Villi Zanini uses the knowlege of over four centuries to create the most beautiful and custom iron work that I have seen in my many years as an interior designer and architect.
Creating custom work for private residential homes, hotels, yachts, and prestigious buildings all over the world, Villi is passionate about his work. Working with designers and architects who demand the finist quality of craftmanship and reliablity this handcrafted work is at the top it's game.
From gates to balustrades, fire grates to small buildings. Hammering, chiselling, moulding and forming, this man really does play with fire.
Railing in a Private Home
Every detail is carefully thought out and designed to perfection.
So when in search of quality iron, think of CoorItalia and our own Iron Man the one and only Villi Zanini. Not only will you get the finist work availabe, you will be suppried at how competitive the prices can be compaired to the local domestic suppliers, although none can compare in the tradition and in the artistry of this one man and his family.
From inside the mountains near Vicenza, home of Andrea Palladio, Italians have been mining stone for centuries. One of CoorItalia's stone fabricators not only manufactures stone but also has owned the license to quarry since the mid 1800's. From generation to generation this family has handed down tradition and experience.
The famous Giallo Dorato or Bianco Avorio are known for their beauty and versatility. The stones are mined underground.
Blocks are taken and stored so there is always stock available to turn into whatever the job calls for. At any one time there is enough material available to clad a tall multi-story skyscraper. From slabs, pavers, carved elements, and fireplaces, you name it and they have the capability, and craftsmen to do it. This is just one of our many suppliers.
Clients are able to select material in the color they desire. From the warm golden yellow of "Giallo Dorato" to the creamy "Bianco Avorio" to the sleek greys of the "Grigio Alpini" and "Grigio Argento". Each one is then handled by hand by master craftsmen:
To create a variety of dimensional pieces, from classic fireplaces:
To contemporary spa areas
No matter what your need, CoorItalia can help. From simple floors paving to complicated building elements.
Let CoorItalia help turn your imagination into reality.
So being Italians we decided to dial the festivities right back to where it all began - Saturnalia, and as sponsors of the Institute of Classical Architecture we could not get more classical than the Roman times.
Saturnalia was a roman cycle of holidays starting today, December 17th. Originally it was supposed to last one day but was so popular that the days kept increasing and ended up lasting until the 25th. During this period presents would be exchanged, partying was widespread, gambling was permitted and it was the one period when societal hierarchies were overturned - the masters of the house had to feed and provide for the slaves and workers. Although officially a religious holiday to venerate the God Saturn it escalated to a period to celebrate more than that. Not so surprisingly the poet Catullus called it the "best of days". Sound Familiar?
For a full background to Saturnalia we refer you to the wikipedia entry.
So we hope you have a fun Saturnalia: time for giving and receiving, treating right those that work with you, and of, perhaps, eating too much over these days...
Be passionate about life… Be passionate about food and wine... Be passionate about stone and terra cotta!
On a recent trip to Italy the CoorItalia team got to see and experience all three! We toured from Siena up to the Vicenza region of Italy. We got to tour stone yards, terra cotta factories, iron makers, window and doors manufacturers and more, and will share these trips in a series of blog entries.
We start with one of the more interesting places we visited: a Terra Cotta maker in the Padova area. This particular company, and family, has been making terra cotta for over 200 years in the same "traditional" way they did back then, and when we say that technology has not sullied their production methods we mean it. There was not a computer in sight!
The heart of the operation is the huge Kiln, housed in a building with a chimney stack visible for miles:
The chimney was actually damaged in an earthquake last spring.
However the journey of a tile begins with the local clay. Behind the kiln is a field of clay some of it reds, some of it a lighter straw color:
In the spring time and early summer the clay is dug, and distributed along the edge of a field. It is then mixed with water to create the working clay and then it is thrown into a mould, the excess is cut off, the mould removed and the tile is then stored and allowed to air dry in the Italian summer sun, in a huge field:
Each one of these rows will allow the tiles to be gently air dried - by the sun in the day, and each night workers lower the wicker "curtains" (in the photo they are rolled up) to protect the tiles from frost and rain. At the end of the summer the tiles are stacked onto pallets for the one firing in the huge kiln.
The pallets are stacked inside the kiln which is a huge oval "racetrack" over 150 ft long:
The walls are 6ft thick and each door is then bricked up and sealed with mud.
In between the pallets wood is stacked in various strategic places along the kiln floor, the stacks are lit and the final door is sealed shut. The workmen then go upstairs to a floor directly above and start pouring coal through small holes in the roof
The firing lasts for days, is monitored by foremen that have done this for generations, and they only fire once a year. The outcome is as unique as Italy itself. The tiles are complex, colorful, multi-dimensional and beautiful!
In the above photo you see two tiles, the one of the right with mixed clay, rather than blended clay. Tiles are rough, brushed or honed according to client preference, each piece is unique, each piece is the product of a tradition that has not changed in centuries, and judging by their lack of technology will not change any time soon. Time and love - the old way of doing stuff.
Here is one of the paterns that is possible with their tiles:
It has been a long journey but we are very proud to announce that our steel and bronze windows and doors now have recieved the NFRC certification and they have been uploaded on the NFRC database of Certified Product Directory.
What does NFRC Certification mean? As we said in the Press release the NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) is a non-profit organization, which administers the only uniform, independent rating and labeling system for the energy performance of windows, doors, skylights, and attachment products. NFRC Certification is a standard against which fenestration products can be compared in terms of energy efficiency.
What it means to the consumer is that there is a single organization (and thus database) that tests windows and doors and verifies what their performance is when it comes to energy conservation. One of the main things they look at is how much heat is transferred through the frame and the glass (known in the trade as U-value). The lower the U-value the more energy efficient the window and door is.
There are many factors that affect the Uvalue of a unit, but it basically comes down to two main factors - the frame and the glass. There are an infinite amount of glazing choices for a home owner, from the simple single pane untreated glass with very high U-value to triple pane IG units (Insulated Glass) with heat mirrors, krypton filled and "low-e" treated surfaces which have very low u-values. Then there is everything in-between. Your best choice between cost and performance is usually a dual pane "low-e" unit that is air filled. You can, for a small price surcharge, add Argon or Krypton to the glass for better performance. Another aspect to consider (and that the NFRC tests) is Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). This measures how much of the sun's rays are converted to heat inside of the room. In this case there is no "good" or "bad" value as in winter you want to heat the house but might not want to do so in the summer. Many "Passive Houses" use SHGC to great advantage to reduce their energy footprint.
When it comes to how the frame affects the u-value of the overall unit it comes as no surprise that traditionally metal windows have always fared poorly compared to their wood and vinyl counterparts, and therefore Steel and Bronze window manufacturers have steered away from certifying their products with the NFRC. But this is where CoorItalia feels there is a big opportunity: Our windows and doors are made with latest technology profiles that are thermally broken. This means that the bronze (or steel) that is outside of the building, is separated from the bronze (or steel) from the inside by a highly insulted rigid material (made of a high density polyurethane resin).
[For more on what is a thermal break click here]
It is thanks to this thermal break that we have industry leading values amongst metal windows and doors opening up a whole new aesthetic option for Architects and Home Owners that want to beauty and durability of bronze and steel without compromising energy efficiency. Furthermore, whereas many other Steel and Bronze window manufacturers will certify one or two units we are certifying casement windows, both inswing and outswing, fixed windows, inswing and outswing French Double doors and single doors and even Lift & Slide doors.
San Francisco Interior Designing firm Nicole Hollis came to us with their inspiration image for the production of a contemporary stone carved sink.
The selected material was Tuscan Silver Travertine.
We rely a lot on the expertise of our masons in Italy. With hundreds of years of experience, passed down from older generations, they need not just judge a stone by what they can see but they also must understand what is going on inside the block, how the veins move, if there are any weak spots.
With a circular sink, and the choice of a travertine that is rich in texture, you ideally want to emphasize the stone characteristics, so the objective was to see if we could find a vein that would circle the drain hole. And this is where we look at our masons to choose not just the right block but where and what direction to cut.
Once the choice is made and the routing machines are set you can only wait as the CNC machines go about their precise and meticulous work
Cutting stone is all about patience and dust. Water is used to keep the router bits from overheating but also to lubricate and keep the stone dust to a minimum. Two sinks were cut, in case one does not have the vein patters we were looking for, or in case cracks or other structural iperfections were to be found.
Once the raw sink is "roughed out" the measurements are checked against the shop drawings. Custom designs require not just overall designs to be precise but also smaller details alike the radius of the curve of the lip. To make sure we had all aspects covered we shipped out the drain hardware to Italy to make sure we had an exact fit.
Once the dimensions are checked the masons will begin the slow work of finishing the sink, This is done strictly by hand with a variety of tools, some electrical but, depending on the job some are still free hand. The finishing can take a person a couple of days to get right.
The final product is exactly what we hoped for - with not just one but two gorgeous veins circling the sink, one at the rim and one near the drain. Silver Travertine is quarried in Tuscany and, despite it's name is not primarily silver. It has wonderful warm beiges throughout with the strong silver/grey veins that give the stone its name.
And now, courtesy of Nicole Hollis, we have a couple of photos of the final install!

When it comes to ceiling the vast majority just go safe and paint it white, or might add a medallion to the lone overhead chandelier. However if you are looking for a Mediterranean look the solution is often "terracotta". Traditionally a "poor man's" building material it has now become the poster-boy of the Mediterranean rustic look. It has a lot to like, terracotta is both strong but light, it is a thermal insulator, it is much cheaper than stone, it is very resistant to wear and tear.
The traditional terracotta ceiling looks like this:
They are composed of rectangular tiles (can be any size - 6"x12" and 9"x18" are common) that are rested on the wood beams and then, on top of these are placed the roof tiles. Nowadays the processed is almost reversed. The tiles have lost their structural element to take on a purely decorative one and so they are now fixed with adhesive onto backer board first
The wooden rafters are then fixed later:
One word of warning if you are looking for original antique reclaimed terracotta tiles, be they for your floor (which is very popular) or for a ceiling. Always ask your supplier if the tiles originally were floor or ceiling tiles when they were reclaimed. Floor tiles will be smooth from centuries of feet, but ceiling tiles will usually have a brushed finish because they have been untouched. Also ceiling tiles might have been painted or plastered over by the generations of families that lived in the house, so many will have flecks of paint on them if not properly cleaned. There is no right or wrong - you can use ceiling tiles as floor tiles but you should be aware of what finish you want when you talk to your supplier.
An alternative to give your house (or cellar) that Mediterranean look is to use bricks which, for structural reasons, were always installed "sideways" offering up their short side to view:
It looks expensive but it does not have to be. Since we no longer need to use the whole brick for its structural characteristics we can "slice off" and just use the "end!" Most manufacturers will make what the Italians call "listelli", which are a form of terracotta veneers.
As you can imagine both the materials and the installation on backer board is simplified by the fact that these tend to be much lighter than the full brick.
If you want a twist of the above we had a Designer approach us for a project in Park City where he wanted to do a ceiling using reclaimed roof tiles. Although we proposed using both real reclaimed bricks and listelli he was insistent on wanting to use reclaimed barrel roof tiles that had spent their whole life on the outside. They cut the tiles into strips and used them, making sure to keep the lichen and all the character of the antique roof tile.
Another client had a charming idea for also using the reclaimed roof tiles as your ceiling tiles. They simply left them visible
Of course you cannot use this for inside the house - this was for a porch overhang where code does not require a fire barrier between the inside and outside, but it was a very nice idea and it recalls its original use, In Italy, as a cheaper way to put a roof over non living areas like barns, stables or outhouses.
Metal windows and Doors (be it Aluminum, Steel or Bronze) have a number of advantages over wood – they are stronger (in particular the steel and bronze ones), and because of their structural strength, you can make narrower profiles from them, increasing the amount "glass to frame" ratio. They are also very low maintenance, it won't rot or require re-sealing and treating. But, as any owner of old steel windows might tell you they also have down sides: the principal one is their energy efficiency. Metal conducts heat (energy) easily and that means that on a hot day a solid metal frame will act like a radiator in your room, and likewise, on a cold day, you will be losing heat outdoors through your frames far more than through the glass. If your room is also humid (a kitchen or bathroom, for example) then many homeowners experience condensation on the windows.In order to solve this problems window and door manufacturers are introducing an insulating barrier between the inside and outside of the window frame. This barrier is what is called "thermal break'
In this example the white material is high density polyurethane resin but it can be reinforced also with fiberglass, another good insulator. The role of the thermal break is twofold – it must be a very poor heat conductor, blocking heat from moving from inside the house to outside and vice versa. Its other job is structural, inasmuch as it holds the two metal profiles together.The result is a frame that stands shoulder to shoulder, in energy efficiency terms, with frames made in wood.However there is another, lesser known advantage of a thermal break – that of sound absorption. Just like metal conducts heat it also conducts sound and just like the insulating material blocks heat from passing it also dampens sound vibrations very effectively making for better sound insulation from outside noise.

Senator Ashley Judd? Could be.
Actress Ashley Judd is still mum about whether she's considering a run for U.S. Senate in Kentucky as a Democratic challenger to Republican Leader Mitch McConnell in 2014.
Judd, a former Kentucky resident now living in Tennessee, hasn't ruled out a run. But neither has she said anything to suggest that she would enter the race.
Her publicist said Tuesday nothing has changed since Judd released a statement last month saying she was honored to be mentioned as a potential candidate.
No Democrats have stepped forward to challenge McConnell, a political powerhouse who already has $6.8 million for his re-election.
McConnell, now in his fifth term, is the longest-serving U.S. senator in Kentucky history. He spent some $20 million on his last election to defeat a wealthy Louisville businessman.

5 Things That A Super Bowl 2014 Loss Means For Peyton Manning
What The Super Bowl Loss Means For Peyton Manning
It seems right that Peyton Manning may end his career with the Denver Broncos because he is the John Elway of 21st-century NFL players. Elway was a great quarterback who, for most of his career, played on otherwise mediocre teams. Those Broncos teams plowed their way through the lackluster AFC, but were then humiliated in three Super Bowls in the 1980s. Many people criticized Elway after those losses: he can't win the big game, folds under pressure, is overrated, etc.
Although win-loss records do not lie, there is a bigger picture involved. Elway never threw to a Pro Bowl receiver, and very rarely had a solid defense or running game to support him. Great quarterbacks like Elway elevate the play of those around them, but players have a ceiling. Try as he might, Mike Harden could not hope to cover Jerry Rice. In simple terms, David sometimes beats Goliath but overall, Goliath has a very impressive record in such situations.
All this brings us to the Super Bowl XLVIII Denver Broncos. Manning is clearly in the upper echelon of NFL quarterbacks: his record five MVP trophies are well deserved. Like Elway before him, Manning elevated the pedestrian Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos around him. But it is one thing to win October contests against Jacksonville and San Diego, and quite another to compete with established championship juggernauts when the games really count.
Manning has clearly lost his chance to be remembered with Tom Brady and Joe Montana as one of the great championship quarterbacks of all time. So what is Manning's legacy in 20 years?
5. Franchise Killer
An elite quarterback on an otherwise bad team can mean years of 10-6 records, quick playoff exits, poor draft choices and few options for improving the team. The fact that the Colts found another franchise quarterback after just one Manning-less season is simply "Luck" in every sense of the word.
4. Gunslinger
In an era when the pocket passer seems to be going out of style, Manning is the ultimate tough guy who can stand and deliver.
3. Nice Guy
In part because of his Gary Cooper "aw-shucks" act, Manning is one of the great teammates of all time.
2. Fantasy Stud
Anyone who throws 30 touchdown passes in a bad year is the fantasy football gold standard.
1. Team Builder
Probably his greatest legacy, like Elway before him, was the fact that Manning can take almost any bunch of guys to the promised land.

OSU football: Clint Chelf just rolls with his winding career path
After a rocky start against Mississippi State, Chelf entered against UTSA in the third quarter and came out firing.
He finished 11-of-16 passing for 192 yards and two touchdowns, remaining at the controls when the Roadrunners made a mild rally and the Cowboys needed to press on the gas again.
"It felt good," Chelf said. "They're a good team. They started to come back and we had to put some of the (starters) back in. I was happy that they let me keep playing with the ones and throw some passes to those guys. It was exciting.
"It feels good to get back out there and play and get back in the rhythm I was in at the end of last year."
For some of the young receivers not accustomed to that rhythm, like Jhajuan Seales, Brandon Sheperd and Marcell Ateman, Chelf put them on alert.
"I was telling those guys on the sidelines, 'When I come in, I'm not holding anything back. It's time to go score some touchdowns and throw the ball deep and make plays,'" Chelf said.
"They were on the same page as me and went up and made some plays for me."
And in a half, Chelf reconfirmed his commitment and his confidence and his capabilities.
"You know, that's a tough week for him," said Cowboys coach Mike Gundy. "I've said it before, he's very important to our team. He and I had discussions, he talked with (offensive coordinator Mike) Yurcich.
"It's hard. It's difficult. It's difficult for me and it's difficult for him. It will pay great dividends for him at some point. When, I don't know. Maybe 10 years from now.
"He has a very difficult job. We have our own kids and children and you would want them to react the way he has. You don't know if they will. But he's been good. He's done good. He's tough."
And he's ready. Still.
"I've been through everything before," Chelf said. ""I've just got to keep focused and determined and know that I'm one play away."

Gov. Mark Dayton says he's still hopeful lawmakers can fashion a medical marijuana compromise that gets help to ailing people but doesn't allow for access he fears would be too wide.
Dayton said Monday that he has top aides working with legislators on a bill that can become law. He says he's nervous about provisions in a Senate measure that would allow purchase of leaf-formed marijuana from at least two dozen distribution sites.
The Democratic governor has endorsed a House-passed version that has satisfied concerns of law enforcement and the state's doctor group.
Dayton says he's willing to accept some Senate provisions but would ultimately "do what I think is right for Minnesota."
Negotiations between the House and Senate could begin soon.

I'm so blessed to call her my wife and share these little experiences in life with her. Marriage is what you make of it and today I was reminded of just that. While being told that I'm still in my newlywed phase even after 4 years and that it will wear off I can't help but want to prove them wrong 40 years from now, that we're more in love than when we were young. It's sad to hear people say they're happier to be divorced or wish they were single. I couldn't imagine the thought of it. #love #marriage #wife #wcw #happy #smokymountains #vscocam

Today I put the final touches and simplified my social media life. I've been slowly removing the excess of my social media intake for the pass couple months. Started with removing Apps like FB, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. from my phone and then removing "friends" from FB. I'm down to the bare minimum, for now.
I want to enjoy my time with those close to me more without the noise of the Internet which longs for all of my attention every waking moment.
Here is to the future moments spent well with those I love. #vscocam #socialmedia #simplicity #simpleliving #livefolk #liveauthentic #folkliving #cowhide

Activists want gay rights on Africa summit agenda
Human rights and gay rights activists on Tuesday urged President Barack Obama to ensure that the issue of anti-gay discrimination in Africa is on the agenda at next week's summit in Washington with more than 40 African leaders.
AP National Writer
Human rights and gay rights activists on Tuesday urged President Barack Obama to ensure that the issue of anti-gay discrimination in Africa is on the agenda at next week's summit in Washington with more than 40 African leaders.
The Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights organization, and Human Rights First, which advocates aggressive U.S. stances on human rights issues abroad, issued a statement depicting the summit as a "once-in-a-generation moment" to promote equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Africans.
According to the two groups, 37 African countries with more than 800 million residents have laws criminalizing LGBT relationships, and leaders of 32 of those countries have been invited to the Aug. 4-6 summit.
Among the invitees are Presidents Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, who signed harsh anti-gay laws earlier this year.
In response to Uganda's law -- which strengthens penalties for gay sex and makes life sentences possible for violators -- the U.S. imposed visa bans on some Ugandan officials and halted or redirected funding from institutions involved in human rights abuses.
Shawn Gaylord, Human Rights First's advocacy counsel for LGBT rights, expressed support for these steps and called on the Obama administration to conduct a full diplomatic review of U.S. policy in Nigeria.
"We believe the U.S. can do more in both Nigeria and Uganda to ensure that U.S. funding is not being given to any institution or group that is abusing human rights, including actively discriminating against the LGBT community," he said in an email. "We recognize that this is a difficult process with competing interests, made more difficult by the rhetoric espoused by some leaders that the movement for the rights of LGBT people is something invented in the West and being imposed upon African societies. "
Gaylord paid tribute to African citizens who have spoken out against anti-gay discrimination.
"These people -- activists, leaders, lawyers, religious figures and others -- need to know that they have support around the world and this summit is an ideal time to signal that support," he said.
Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House's National Security Council, indicated that gay-rights issues would be raised at the summit.
"The Obama Administration has long spoken out -- including with our African partners -- in support of universal human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals," he said in an email. "We expect the summit will provide an opportunity to continue these conversations."
The two rights groups issued a country-by-country report detailing Africa's existing anti-LGBT laws, as well as cases of discrimination and violence.
The groups praised the Obama administration for a series of steps aimed at promoting gay rights internationally, but they suggested more could be done to block or overturn anti-gay legislation.
Among its initiatives, the administration has increased the number of openly gay U.S. ambassadors serving abroad. Some U.S. embassies flew the rainbow flag this year to celebrate local gay pride parades.
Obama, while visiting Senegal last year, urged African leaders to extend equal rights to gays and lesbians. Senegal's president, Macky Sall, bluntly responded that his country "still isn't ready" to decriminalize homosexuality.
