Barrett 3 Light Chandelier with Linen Shade
Barrett 2 Light Pendant with Linen Shade
Use this field to narrow your chandelier selection by the maximum price.
Narrowing by Finish
Because there are so many unique finishes offered by the manufacturers we carry, we have grouped them into common tones to more easily allow you to find the finish you're looking for.
UL Wet Location:
Wet rated chandeliers can be placed in locations where they will be in direct contact with water such as outdoors.
UL Damp Location:
Damp rated chandeliers are designed to be installed in locations where they will not be in direct contact with water but may experience damp conditions due to condensation or other indirect water contact.
UL Dry Location:
Dry location fixtures should only be installed in locations where they will experience no contact with water
If you would like to view one specific manufacturer, please select one from the list below.
Bell Shades
Bell shades typically will be narrow where they attach to the fixture tapering to a wider opening for the bulb.
Cylinder Shades
Cylinder shades are round straight shades that predominantly project light in one direction.
Rectangular Shades
Rectangular or square shades are classically associated with contemporary, art deco and asian styling.
Round Shades
Round and spherical shades are less common in American homes but provide a very distinct look that accent vessel sinks quite well.
Ambient Lighting
Ambient Light is designed to splay light in all directions and is usually good for close to ceiling applications.
Down Lighting
Down Lighting directs light downwards by using open bottom shades to minimize the amount of light that is projected upwards towards the ceiling.
Up / Down Lighting
Up / Down Lighting chandeliers generally will have bulbs on the arms and either a bowl or another light source in the center of the fixture. These chandeliers are good for installation in open areas where light is helpful in both directions such as near a staircase.
Up Lighting
Up Lighting is a common type of chandelier and although the light is being directed upwards will still provide ample illumination for many applications. Some manufacturers offer chandeliers in both up lighting and down lighting styles.
Compact Fluorescent (CFL)
CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year.
Candelabra bulbs are more common in chandeliers than they are in any other lighting. Chandeliers with candelabra bulbs may or may not include shades but everyone can be accented with shades that are designed to be clipped to the bulbs themselves.
Halogen bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light.
Incandescent or Fluorescent
We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration.
Selecting the Number of Bulbs
Use this section to select the number of bulbs that you prefer your fixture to have. Once you select a given range you will be able to narrow it down further to a specific number of bulbs.
For example, if you are shopping for a 2 light fixture you will want to select "0-3 Lights", and then "2 Bulbs" in the "Bulb Count" section on the next screen.
Chandelier Height
The height of the chandelier is determined by the distance of the lowest point of the fixture to the point at which the chain connects to the fixture.
Chandelier Width
The width of the bathroom fixture is determined by the distance from the furthest reaching outside left point to the furthest reaching outside right point.

| Ozmen, S. M., Shell Global Solutions International, The Hague, The Netherlands
High-performing enterprises draw on external expertise during all project phases, from scouting and front-end engineering and development through to operations.
[crude oil]
[clean fuels]
Having spent over 38 years in the petrochemical and refining industry
developing and licensing technologies, I have witnessed
profound changes in the business landscape. Perhaps because of
that, people often ask for my views on the outlook for
refiners. Will the volatility continue? Yes, I say. Will things
get any easier? Not really, although those that exploit
competitive advantages will naturally rise to the top. Does the
industry have a long-term future? Absolutely.
Of course, the eddies that create the turbulence are well
known. They include tighter specifications, rising energy
costs, tougher environmental regulations, and
variable crude quality. Another hugely significant issue is the
shifting pattern of product demand. The industrys
center of gravity appears destined to move away from the
developed nations.
This is because the world order is changing. The economic
progress of nations such as India and China, along with
increased downstream activity in the Middle East, is serving to
transform the global refining landscape. So while
businesses in Europe grapple with the
regions issues of overcapacity, aging assets and capital
constraints, and companies in the US analyze the effects of the
shale boom, enterprises in China and the Middle East operating
companies are busily installing new capacity. China is
reportedly investing over $40 billion in building refineries,
not only at home but also in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Central
America, Europe and the Middle East.
With various high-profile closures, mergers and
acquisitions, the list of companies that have been unable to
navigate the turbulence or that have chosen to follow a
different path is growing. Is it possible for refining
organizations to both survive and thrive in this environment?
Most definitely, but there is no single solution, silver bullet
or panacea that anyone could prescribe that will enable this.
Not only are the challenges facing refiners in the different
regions starkly different, but the challenges also vary
enormously according to their asset and investment portfolios,
and business objectives.
By the same token, there are opportunities to be exploited.
For every refiner investing in new assets, there are new
markets to be tapped. For every refiner that realigns its
strategy and sheds assets, there is a new owner willing to take
the opportunity to find alternative ways to leverage value.
Valero is a good example of this. It is the worlds
largest independent refiner, despite being a relatively new
entrant to the sector, and has a strong track record of
squeezing extra value out of the assets that it acquires.
I believe that, in the future, successful projects will require the owner to
achieve a high performance level in at least 10 out of 12 key
factors, as shown in Fig. 1. This is not easy,
not least because some requirements, such as low operating
costs and low capital expenditure, can be conflicting, but also
because some are beyond a refiners control, such as the
location of a new or revamp project. Moreover, two of these are
mandatory: safety and environment.
Fig. 1. The 12-factor
performance concept.
Future projects must aim to score high in
least 10 out of 12 of the key factors, as
1. Size. Typically, larger refineries
are more efficient because they benefit from economies of
scale. In addition, the economic case for costly investment in
conversion equipment or emissions control may be better.
There has been a clear trend toward larger-scale refineries as
owners seek to leverage economies of scale to enhance
profitability. In the US, for instance, although the number of
refineries is less than half of that in the mid-1980s, the
average size of the facilities has increased by a factor
of four.
2. Configuration. Refineries are
increasingly focusing on their ability to process heavier and
higher-sulfur-content crude oils into the products that the
market wants. Flexibility to respond to changing market
conditions is also keyjust ask the US refiners that have
faced huge fluctuations in the diesel-to-gasoline price
differential in recent years. Possessing a process
configuration that enables a refiner to swing between the
gasoline and distillate modes can facilitate taking advantage
of seasonal product demand shifts.
3. Market. Does the project have a
ready market for its proposed product slate? We are seeing
refiners establishing joint ventures (JVs) with national oil
companies to unlock new market opportunities (see No. 8). Or, a
company may have its own retail business, integrated
petrochemical facility or lubricant base oil plant.
Alternatively, some facilities sell product-blending
components rather than finished products. Whatever the outlet,
demand security can make a huge difference to a projects
4. Product mix. The product mix must
be scoped according to market trends. Will the products still
be in demand when the assets come onstream? Has the owner
maximized the ratio of high- to low-value products or hedged
against price variations? Are there any emerging regulatory
trends that could have an impact on the product slate?
5. Access to crude. A projects
ability to secure a long-term crude supply can be pivotal, as
approximately 80% of a refinerys costs are for the feedstock. Moreover, contingency
should be built in so that there are multiple options. This can
be achieved through JV partners or by signing long-term deals.
In the future, we may also see independent refiners signing oil
supply deals with banks, as this can help to reduce the risks
of price volatility and the working capital.
6. Well-designed project delivery
scheme. There is one school of thought that says for
each $1 billion of capital expenditure, a 25-strong team is
required to manage the project. Increasingly, initiatives are
being driven by project-management consultants and
strategic licensors who have been hired to coordinate the
various interfaces and ensure accountability. This can help to
secure on-budget and on-schedule implementation, as well as
preferable financial terms.
7. Location. Location has emerged as
one of the key determinants of a refinerys profitability.
A strategically placed refinery that enjoys feedstock sourcing advantages and
proximity to growing markets can be a highly attractive
proposition for investors.
Location can also affect cost competitiveness. The closer a
refinery is to its crude supply and the markets that it serves,
the lower the total feedstock and transport costs are
likely to be.
In addition, integration with a petrochemical facility is also
helping many refineries to enhance profitability. For instance,
the hydrocracker residue can be sent to the steam cracker to
make ethylene, and reformate can be upgraded to valuable
aromatic products such as paraxylene and benzene, thereby
enhancing the economics at both sites. Some analysts have
viewed refinerypetrochemical integration less favorably
because of the volatility of petrochemical prices. However,
despite this, combining petrochemical manufacturing with refining can give a good overall
8. JV team composition. Some of the
best-performing JVs involve partners that each bring something
special to the table. Shells proposed JV with PetroChina
and Qatar Petroleum is potentially a prime example of this.
Qatar Petroleum will bring the ventures crude oil and
condensate. PetroChina will provide the
marketChinas expanding economyas well as
Chinese project execution expertise and capital cost
advantages. Shell, meanwhile, can bring world-leading
technologies; quality; health, safety and environment systems
and standards; and proven experience in delivering large-scale
9. Operating costs. This year saw a
sharp downturn in industry refining margins, so lowering
operating costs can be vital to competitiveness. Operating
costs are, to a large degree, built in at the front-end
engineering design stage through decisions concerning the
amount of process integration and the equipments
energy efficiency. However, low operating costs can sometimes
be incompatible with low capital expenditure.
10. Capital expenditure. Although the
challenges of the debt markets heighten the need for low
capital expenditure, this should always be balanced against
ongoing operating costs. It typically costs more to run a less
capital-intensive plant. That said, intelligently designed
projects can sometimes find opportunities to unlock
simultaneous reductions in operating and capital costs. For
instance, a new concept to minimize duplication and maximize integration in the refinery scheme cuts the capital
expenditure at the Rayong refinery in Thailand by 5% and also
reduced its energy consumption by 26%.
11. Safety. High performance in this
area is not optional. Given the nature of the risks involved,
ensuring an assets safety and integrity is paramount to
all refinery projects. Making sure that a facility is well
designed, safely operated, and properly inspected and
maintained is always a prerequisite, and requires robust,
proven design and engineering practices and technical standards
for design and construction.
12. Environment. Advanced technologies
have helped to curb refinery emissions over the past 20 years,
but regulations will continue to tighten. World Bank standards
are becoming the norm for projects worldwide, regardless of the
local requirements. As with safety, compliance with environmental mandates is
obligatory. A refinery that fails to meet its emissions targets
can lose its license to operate, which is why financiers
scrutinize a projects emissions-control plans.
The 12-factor performance concept described here can help
refiners to chart a course toward a profitable future. As
excellence is a dynamic criterion, the relative importance of
these areas will wax and wane in response to market turbulence.
One notion that will remain constant, though, is the importance
of working together. In my experience, the sectors
highest-performing enterprises seek out and draw on external
expertise throughout all project phases, from scouting and
front-end engineering and development through to operations.
New perspectives, it seems, are required for interesting times.

In a civil lawsuit, the state accused the companies of tampering with leak detection devices, and failing to test secondary containment systems and maintain alarm systems, among other violations. Conoco said the California lawsuit "is [Phillips 66's] issue on which to comment, not ours."
By KRISTIN JONES
Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips have been accused of
violating California environmental laws by failing to
properly maintain underground gas storage tanks, the state's
attorney general's office said.
In a civil lawsuit filed in Alameda County Superior Court,
the state accused the companies of tampering with leak
detection devices, and failing to test secondary containment
systems and maintain alarm systems, among other violations.
ConocoPhillips spun off its downstream business, including
retail operations, as Phillips 66 last year as part of a
three-year restructuring plan aimed at improving the company's
Daren Beaudo, a spokesman for ConocoPhillips, said Wednesday
that the California lawsuit "is [Phillips 66's] issue on which
to comment, not ours."
Phillips 66 spokeswoman Janet Grothe said the company
doesn't comment on legal matters.
The companies were also accused of improperly handling and
disposing of hazardous wastes associated with the tanks, which
are used to store fuel for retail sale at more than 560
California gas stations.
"The state's hazardous waste laws help protect our residents
from contaminated groundwater," Attorney General Kamala D.
Harris said. "This lawsuit safeguards public health by ensuring
proper maintenance of the tanks that store
fuel beneath many California communities."

Care Assessment Information for Children and Young People
- Well, it's not a test.
- It's not about a load of people giving you grief.
- It's about getting a clear understanding of what your life is like, and what problems you are having.
- It's about working with you to sort out your problems.
- To help you do this you will have a social worker.
- Your social worker will collect information about your life by talking and listening to you, your family and maybe your teacher, doctor or youth worker.
- Once this is done, you and your social worker will work together to decide what help you need.
Why is an assessment happening?
It is happening because you or somebody else has asked us for help to sort out your problems.
How long will it take?
An assessment takes between two weeks and two months. Your social worker will tell you the kind of assessment you are having and how long it will take.
What will happen?
You will meet a social worker, who will lead the assessment. Your social worker will ask your permission about sharing the information with other people.
The information you give will be kept confidential, but if your social worker believes someone is in danger they may have to tell others. They will talk to you before doing this.
Your social worker will put all the information in a written report. If you do not agree with this report you can write what you feel on the bottom of it.
If you need it, help will be provided in your first language. If you have particular cultural needs, please tell us about them. Everyone is different. Everyone is important. The colour of your skin, your culture, religion, gender, the language you speak, your sexuality, whether you have special needs or a disability are some of the things that make you an individual.
Once the assessment has shown us what your needs are, we will draw up a plan of action. This shows what we can do to help you. We will give you a copy of this.
What you need to do
It is important that you try to be open and honest about how you feel. We can help you better, if you tell us what is good in your life and what you find difficult.
What you can expect from us
We will listen to what you have to say, answer your questions, and make sure you understand what is going on. We will offer advice, and help you to deal with your problems. We won't tell others what you have told us, without asking your permission first, and we will try to help you and your family in the best way we can.
If you want more information about your assessment you can talk to your social worker, or you can contact the Children's Rights Service.

Buckhead Gold Brokers
Most, if not ALL other "We Buy Gold" dealers throughout North Georgia charge over 50% to convert individuals' gold and silver into cash. Very often, these "CASH for GOLD" storefronts use tricks or misrepresentations to persuade people that they're getting a fair deal and will usually say anything they can think of to close the deal.
But the individuals of Gwinnett Gold Brokers deem it to be unfair to keep as much as 85% of a customer's cash simply because they're unaware of the true value of their property. That's why GGB representatives always do as much as they can to educate their clients about the purity testing process and determining true market value.
Once a GGB representative shows one of their clients the true market value of their valuable possessions, the company then makes only one offer which is true market value minus a 15% fee for conversion and processing. There is rarely any negotiating at that point and customers who have visited other Atlanta area gold dealers are usually stunned that they'll be receiving more than twice what they had been previously quoted.
How can GGB afford to pay twice what other stores pay? Their reputation for paying their clients such a high amount generates more than twice the business than other stores experience. The significantly higher amount of business allows the company to charge customers a great deal less per transaction. Plus, Gwinnett Gold Brokers now has the ability to refine their own gold in-house as they recently expanded their business to include their own gold refinery.
Previous Articles on Gwinnett Gold Brokers...
Gold Refinery That Deals Direct With the Public Opens In Gwinnett
ATLANTA - Greater Atlanta now has a place where consumers can bring their valuable jewelry and convert it to cash for a very small fee.
The ALL NEW "ATLANTA GOLD REFINERY" can be reached at (404) 759-7277 for more information. Their first location will be open in Lilburn shortly, and future locations will be open in the Mall of Georgia area, Buckhead, Midtown, Alpharetta and More...
Gwinnett Gold Brokers usually pays dealers one dollar per gram per karat, depending on market prices. This means that a 14k gold necklace or bracelet that weighs about an ounce (or the approximate weight of a silver dollar) brings better than $14 per gram or $500 for the item from GGB. The local area dealers would pay $93 to $155 for the same item, while advertising and claiming that they pay "Top Dollar" or "Highest Prices."
These gold dealers are making such huge profits from their current price schedule that they continue to open more and more stores even today. And they're getting great deals on commercial rent from the more than half empty strip malls that exist just about everywhere.
Since local "Cash for Gold" dealers haven't been paying fair prices to consumers - Gwinnett Gold Brokers this week announced that they would be dealing directly with consumers and paying them the same price that they've been paying dealers. Other benefits of dealing with Gwinnett Gold brokers include seeing clients by appointment only for the customers' privacy and security, giving quotes over the phone, free house calls in Gwinnett, transactions are made in CASH ONLY, and GGB does business from 10AM to 9PM seven days a week.
Newspapers and local & national television news crews have done many stories on GGB over the years, and often when news producers need current information on the local gold market - they turn to GGB for related information of the highest integrity.
Where is GGB located? They have owned their own commercial property in Buford for over a decade, but in recent years - a sub-division has emerged in front of the company's property. This gives the appearance that it's a temporary, unprofessional operation being run out of somebody's basement. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the owners have interest in many storefronts around Atlanta. They simply prefer the safety, comfort and elegance of their present location and wouldnt have it any other way. Anyone objecting to the lack of formality of a storefront may feel more comfortable dealing with one of the endless "We Buy Gold" dealers seemingly popping up everywhere.

BP is asking a federal judge to issue sanctions against Halliburton, alleging the drilling contractor withheld evidence in the trial following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster.
By ALISON SIDER
BP has asked a federal judge to issue sanctions against
Halliburton, alleging that the drilling contractor withheld
evidence in the trial following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon
BP's filing, issued last Thursday, comes after an attorney
for Halliburton told the New Orleans court overseeing the BP
oil spill trial last week that it had discovered a five-gallon
bucket containing cement taken off the Deepwater Horizon rig
that had not been made available for evidence ahead of the
Halliburton later confirmed to the court that the sample,
which had been labeled with the name of another well, actually
contained the blend of cement that had been used at well being
drilled by the Deepwater Horizon rig before the
In its filing, BP argued that the court has been deprived of
evidence about the quality of Halliburton's work and the role
its products might have played in the April 20, 2010,
A spokesman for Halliburton did not respond to a request for
comment Friday.
The disclosure came in the midst of a federal trial aimed at
apportioning blame for the 2010 explosion between BP and the
companies it contracted with to work on the well. Thursday was
the 16th day of the proceeding, which is being heard by Judge
Carl Barbier in US District Court in the Eastern District of
BP said Halliburton "undermined the integrity of these
proceeding," and "severely prejudiced" BP and the other parties
"This rig sample was responsive to subpoenas and Halliburton
should have produced it years ago so that it could have been
tested on a timely basis for use at trial and before it
deteriorated further," BP wrote in the filing Thursday.
Friday, the plaintiffs in the proceeding wrote in a notice
to the court that Halliburton had concealed and failed to
disclose evidence "all part of an effort by upper management to
ratify and conceal Halliburton's pre-blowout callous disregard
for safety."
A lab employee for Halliburton testified Tuesday that he had
no way of knowing that the sample was used at the well that
blew out.
Last year, BP sought sanctions against Halliburton alleging
that the company had destroyed the results of tests Halliburton
had conducted on a cement sample it made in a lab.
But Halliburton argued, and Judge Barbier agreed, that BP
was not harmed by this because the tests were not conducted on
the actual cement used on the rig, so they could be
Thomas Claps, an analyst with Susquehanna International
Group, wrote in a research note Friday that information about
the newly discovered sample increases the chances that
Halliburton will be sanctioned, which could shift some
liability away from BP and Transocean.
"Halliburton's conduct is sure to be closely scrutinized by
Judge Barbier," he wrote.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

For Instructors Spinning
Some thoughts
05/30/2011 9:59 am
As I enter my 16th year as a presenter, there are a few things I know for sure about this great program: 1: There is a vast diversity in the people that decide to become certified instructors. Just yesterday, I had two people who participate in ultra-cycling events, one Spanish teacher, a classroom aide, a future studio owner, and a graphic artist. The one thing we all had in common, was our love for the program. We also shared a desire to know more about it and to lead others in a group exercise atmosphere. 2: The program itself is bigger than any one person. Facilities always have instructors that leave for one reason or another, just like our presenter team. But the program continues to grow because the philosophy behind it is sound, and people enjoy the workout. So no matter who decides to leave, it will continue for as long as MDA does.........and probably much longer. 3: We have the best bikes. I've been on all the major competitor's bikes and I still believe ours are by far the smoothest and the most stable. I also seem to find my most appropriate riding position on the Spinners. 4: We have the best conference. I have been to many fitness events and they are always fun, but nothing beats the energy of WSSC!Share

Music is emotion expressed through sound. Melodies, rhythms and vibrations that swell the air with feelings. Passion, sent to move you.
At Bang & Olufsen we have shared this passion for sound since 1925. Perfecting techniques that reproduce audio as close to its original form as possible. Our speakers are designed to transform a room, allowing you to drift off into the music the moment you press 'play'.
Bang & Olufsen's acoustical, electrical and mechanical engineers work closely together to make sure that only the finest audio fills a room, ensuring those within the ultimate experience.
Hearing one of your favorite songs at a concert is an indescribable experience. The passion and power of a live performance re-ignites those raw emotions you had when you first heard them. The purity of each voice and each instrument striking you to the very core.
Bang & Olufsen takes this experience back to your living room. Reproducing the moment the artist and producer achieved perfection, with the detail and passion that brought it to life in the first place.
If you've never listened to music through a Bang & Olufsen loudspeaker you haven't fully experienced it yet. Your collection will unearth countless unexpected delights. From gentle, underlying melodies to subtle high-hats, your ears will delight in every new detail, reveling in moments you never knew you owned.
Bang & Olufsen precision engineers and fine-tunes every component to produce stunning surround sound that maintains constant clarity and power throughout the entire room.
Discover Bang & Olufsen surround sound
'The Cube', one of the world's largest, privately owned electroacoustic measurement facilities, is an empty room measuring, 12 x 12 x 13 meters. Starting from the technical drawings it is used in all stages of product development. Its enormous size makes it possible to measure acoustic response without reflections from walls, floor, or ceiling.
'The Cube' gives us the precision we need to measure a loudspeaker's frequency, power and directivity responses. Accurate measurements alone aren't enough though. To truly sense whether music comes alive with the right tone and detail the human ear is still the final judge. And it is only until a speaker truly moves our senses, that it ever enters production.
A 103 inch television is hoisted a meter high by a crane, then dropped. A speaker, locked up in a small confined space, is exposed to the equivalent of 20 cigarettes a day, for an entire year.
Welcome to 'The torture chamber', Bang & Olufsen's toughest test facility where products are put through stresses and strains far beyond standard limits.
We inflict every conceivable hardship on our TV's, speakers and remotes to prepare them for the toughest test of all - the home. A lifetime of simulated abuse that ensures all our products are built to last. Even down to the effects of different types of sweat on our buttons.
While accurate measurements are crucial, at Bang & Olufsen the human is ear is the final judge. In 1981, we assembled the first of our listening panels, bringing together an exceptional group of people carefully selected for their extraordinary hearing. Not only were they expected to distinguishing subtle acoustic differences, they were also required to communicate exactly what they heard.
The secret to consistent test results required that each test was conducted in exactly the same manner. The speaker was hidden behind a curtain so that the listening panel never knew its exact size. If its performance fell below standard, one thing was certain, the experts could tell, which meant that the design was adapted until it satisfied their ambitions.
While our methods may have evolved slightly. One thing is for certain. Our demands remain the same.
Acoustic lenses spread the high frequencies horizontally around the room so that they cover more listening area while reducing reflections from the floor or ceiling. Walk around a room and the Bang & Olufsen sound performance remains unchanged and ideal.
Adaptive Bass Linearisation delivers great bass from small speakers by harnessing surplus capacity in the amplifier and driver unit. We extend a speaker's bass output far beyond what it would normally produce and automatically adjust it for excessive peaks.
The first speakers with built-in ICEpower were unveiled in 1999. The goal was to save energy. What they actually achieved was unheard of in amplifier technology. Because ICEpower didn't require the same cooling space as conventional active speakers, it produced power far beyond its size.
If you've never played your favorite music through Bang & Olufsen sound you'll find it hard to imagine what you're missing. Visit your nearest store to truly hear what you've been missing.
Rediscover your classics and reveal hidden delights and subtle melodies you never knew existed.

Singular, streamlined elegance with coated glass and anodized aluminum. Bang & Olufsen's iconic lines are instantly recognizable.
Our Danish roots are reflected in an absolute dedication to detailed refinement. From a small button to a tiny graphic element, every aspect of our product has been carefully considered.
A door opening serenely. The subtle glide of the electronic curtain. The display as it blossoms to life. Magical things happen through touch. Seductive gestures that set the mood.
"Bang & Olufsen design their sound equipment as beautiful objects in their own right that do not inordinately call attention to themselves."
In March 1978 Bang & Olufsen and then-head designer Jacob Jensen opened a special exhibit at New York's Museum of Modern Art, only the third time in the museum's history that a company's products were given their very own exhibition.
Today, fifteen Bang & Olufsen products are part of its permanent design collections. Striking examples that embody the museum's strict criteria for both quality and historical significance. Designs, in fact, that helped shape the twentieth century.
'Form follows function' is a Danish design mantra originally attributed to furniture designer Kaare Klint.
Bang & Olufsen design stems from this tradition, but our work in the 50's and 60's gave it a new twist - 'Form follows feelings' - a concept that remains contemporary, in our current collection and into the future.
"One chases the impossible knowing that, in the end, it will yield the possible."
A flat speaker with little space for amplifiers or drivers comes to life with powerful, virtuoso sound. An acoustic lens that slides discreetly into view when you power up your Aston Martin.
These delightful little surprises may seem magical at first, but they quickly blend into effortless enjoyment.
Bang & Olufsen design focuses on how we live with a product, how we integrate a system into our home and how we enjoy its images or sound.
While our TV's, speakers or remotes are meant to inspire the eye, they have also been designed to drift seamlessly in the background for a place of peace and calm.
We are continuously challenging the popular convention that products with audio or picture should primarily be black, black, or black.
We believe that color should be introduced. Not as a grand statement, but with nuance and subtlety, complimenting your decor without attracting attention.
Each of our products is a point in history. Not the history of Bang & Olufsen or some fleeting trend but a more distinctive mark in the evolution of design. In years to come these products will be judged as the flat screen or the invisible stereo that became synonymous with a particular time and place.
Just like the legendary Beogram 4000 turntable with wooden frame, reminiscent of the 70's but simultaneously unique as an expression of its own.

The library in Bronson is in a century old Carnegie building.
Several years ago, the Friends of the Library, the Dearth Foundation and the community built a handicap accessible entrance, said Lynnell Eash, librarian.
This month Brussee/Brady, Inc. of Three Rivers is completing a media center, a $250,000 addition, made possible through the same three groups, she said.
A 25 foot x 25 foot media center and a 7 foot x 18 foot office space, was built on the same level of the library. On the ground level (or slighty below) the same size rooms are being finished — one for library storage and the other for storage for the Bronson Township.
The ownership of the community building is a little confusing, Eash said.
A 1940s court agreement gives ownership of the building to Bronson Township, she said. The township and City of Bronson care for the building and grounds. The township has an agreement with the Branch District Library to house the Bronson Branch on the second floor. The county library system also owns the books, equipment, furniture and pays staff.
The new additions are paid for by generosity of the community, including a sizable portion from the Dearth Foundation.
The media center will be ready for patrons by mid March, Eash said.
While the added space is important for patrons, keeping the historicity of building in tact is also important to Eash. Brussee/Brady restored windows, replicated the wood work and generally were careful to keep historical features true to the period, she said.

North Fulton County HardiPlank Fiber Cement Siding Contractors
Volunteers for Atlanta Habitat for Humanity's latest project are dealing with something new Hardiplank, the stuff that usually wraps around more expensive housing.
"Once we got rolling, I found it easier to install than vinyl and more aesthetically pleasing to the eye," said Chris Louis, the site project manager for one of the houses in Habitat's seven-home subdivision, Spoon Court, off Pat Mell Road in Smyrna.
Using Hardiplank, a fiber cement siding, and making changes in the design of the houses represent a new phase for Atlanta Habitat, the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International.
The changes come as the nonprofit moves from its traditional building grounds blighted neighborhoods into other areas of the county, where it must face neighbors who may like the idea of building affordable homes for low-income families but don't necessarily want the houses nearby.
The design changes come nearly two years after Atlanta Habitat tried to rezone 34.5 acres on Hillcrest Road at Six Flags Parkway. Neighbors came out to oppose the request.
"In every misunderstanding, there is also truth," John Kerwood, executive director and president of Atlanta Habitat, said of the experience that brought nearly two dozen opponents to the zoning hearings.
"As we listened to people's concerns, the thing we kept hearing the most was 'the vinyl siding, the parking pads, they all look the same.' All these things tended to telegraph low-income housing. By the time we got to the Board of Commissioners, we came up with the concept," he said.
Habitat got the rezoning and was on its way to putting together a new plan for developing properties.
Factoring in aesthetics
The concept was to develop the neighborhoods in much the same way that a for-profit developer would taking into account the various styles and color schemes of the houses and how they relate to one another, the types and location of trees and landscaping in front of the homes, and the lighting for the neighborhoods.
The new homes are larger, going from about 1,150 square feet to about 1,400 square feet. They will have driveways rather than the parking pads that usually accompany Atlanta Habitat houses.
Architects for John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods and Harrison Design Associates put together plans for the new houses that bear the distinctive Craftsman style, with low-pitched roofs, tapered columns and front porches.
Land Plus Associates put together streetscape plans for the designs by Harrison Associates. Designers for John Wieland developed streetscape plans. The three firms are working pro bono.
"We were able to create a house that is compatible with the surroundings," said Jay Kallos, an architect for John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods.
Between 2000 and 2004, Atlanta Habitat constructed 100 homes, including the ones in three subdivisions: Beggs Court in Marietta, Claxton Commons in Mableton and Macedonia Station in Powder Springs.
But none has been as carefully planned as the subdivisions that Habitat will construct over the next four years.
"In the past, when we had a subdivision, when we built the first house, we had no clue to what the last house would look like," Kerwood said.
Funds raised for costs
By coordinating the new designs, color schemes and landscaping, Atlanta Habitat is creating variety for the eye.
"We changed the front porches and added changes to the roof to break down the roof mass," said Chad Goehring, an architect for Harrison Design Associates, who also is involved in Atlanta Habitat's fund-raising efforts.
Atlanta Habitat plans to construct 100 homes over the next four years based on the new concept. Spoon Court, which is under way, is the first of four planned subdivisions. Preliminary work on the 19 homes of Groover Park, just off Taylor Drive near Atlanta Road in Smyrna, has recently started.
By the end of next year, Atlanta Habitat hopes to begin construction on the Hillcrest property. The plans call for two neighborhoods, each with a separate entrance. One will have 19 homes; the other will have 32. A buffer will separate the two communities.
A Atlanta Habitat home just the "bricks and sticks" part and not the land costs usually costs about $40,000. But the new material, the larger size and design changes have added about $20,000 to the cost of constructing a house.
To pay for the new initiative, Atlanta Habitat has committed $4 million over the next four years from its ongoing fund-raising efforts. It has hired ByrneAllen Corp. to raise an additional $4 million from other sources.
Despite the added costs brought by the changes, Atlanta Habitat plans to continue selling homes to low-income buyers for about $90,000, Kerwood said.
Habitat home buyers are screened carefully before they are approved for no-interest, 20-year loans. They also must complete 300 hours of "sweat equity," helping to construct their houses and those of other would-be homeowners. Kerwood said the average mortgage payment, not including taxes and insurance, is about $375.
Changing with areas
The Hillcrest rezoning battle took place in a neighborhood that is also different for Atlanta Habitat.
When Atlanta Habitat began constructing homes in 1986, they were built in blighted neighborhoods. The homes were often infills, a single house or a few in a neighborhood.
But in 1998, it began constructing subdivisions in other parts of the county, partly because land on which to build was becoming scarce.
"As long as we were building houses in neighborhoods where the other houses were 30 or 40 years old, we really didn't have any problems," Kerwood said. "They were often the nicest houses on the block.
"As time went by and land became more scarce, we ended up building in communities where the housing stock was only 10 years old. Our houses were not necessarily the nicest."
And as metro Atlanta gets built out, the challenge for nonprofit builders is finding land while still maintaining the mandate to construct affordable homes for low-income families.
These new homes must fit in with their more expensive brethren.
"Probably [Atlanta's] whole streetscape idea is new for the Southeast region," said Carol Gregory, regional training manager and affiliate support manager for Habitat International's Southeast region.
"It's something almost every affiliate is starting to realize that they can't build the same house every time they build. So more and more, they are looking to how they can change the front elevation of the house."
'Small, little touches'
Randy Redner, executive director of Habitat for Humanity North Fulton, said his office is working on an 11-unit town house project in Roswell's historic center that is designed to fit in with its neighbors. The first four units are under construction.
Designers worked closely with the city's historic preservation board to maintain the look and feel of the area on Norcross Street, Redner said.
The design includes using smooth Hardiplank siding to mimic the planks used years ago. Discussions with the historic preservation board included the size of windows and their locations, how the units were oriented on Habitat's property and even the type of brick used in the detention ponds.
Habitat affiliates in metro Atlanta "have had to scale up," Redner said. "It's not the typical simple, decent house that you will see across the country. You have to build in the scale of your community."
"We can do small things architecturally to try to fit into the community. We have landscaping and sod in our yards. They are small, little touches that make a difference. I think John [Kerwood] is doing it on a larger scale," Redner said.
But all of that comes at a price. Nonprofit builders have to find the balance between affordable homes for low-income families and starter homes, he said.
"It's easy to add a little gingerbread there and there and there. All of a sudden, we are not affordable. We have added to the cost of the house," Redner said. "It's a delicate line that we walk. But it's a line that matters, and it's getting harder."
Design and zoning requirements also play a role in the price of a home. A city or county's minimum house size 1,800 square feet, for example can make it difficult or impossible for a housing nonprofit to construct a home in a neighborhood, he said.
"I don't think every family out there needs an 1,800-square-foot house. It's those kinds of things [that affect price]. So the bar has been raised, and it's a challenge to all of us," Redner said. "With zoning requirements and rapid growth, metro Atlanta is losing its edge as one of the most affordable places to live."

The most important step to take for a buyer and a seller is to get a stucco inspection done. If you are a seller, do this before you put it on the market, this will also let you know how much work may need to be done or it will be a clean report that you can present to the buyer. If you are a buyer make sure that in your initial offer that you ask the seller for a current stucco report and that if the report is unsatisfactory to you that you have the right to walk away from the contract. BUT, MAKE SURE THAT YOU (BUYER) CHOOSE THE STUCCO INSPECTOR!
I almost got burned by this on one transaction, we asked the seller for a current stucco report, the seller did provide us with a 1 page summary report that stated that there was no moisture detected and that all windows and seals have been sealed properly and so on. After seeing that summary, my buyers and I were very happy that everything turned out great. However, we did a little bit more research about this particular inspector and found out that he did not have the appropriate equipment to do a detailed inspection. To make a long story short, if we did not catch this, my buyer could have ended up to pay about $4000 in repairs. Luckily, we did, and we had the seller pay for a second inspection done by our choice of inspector and had the seller pay for all of the repairs. To sum it up - beware if the seller gives you a one page stucco report.
A qualified inspector will give you about a 60 page report, with photos of the defects and a overview of what repairs need to be done. The inspector should also be a approved inspector through Moisture Warranty company. Moisture Warranty Company (MWC) is a company that is well known for their warranties and also provides list of stucco inspectors that have been approved. Check them out at www.moisturewarranty.com. A stucco inspection will cost in the range of $650 - $850 depending on the size of the house. One of my favorite stucco inspectors is Pro-Spect. Check them out at www.prospecthomeinspection.com. Pro- Spect will also come out a second time after the repairs have been made to reinspect for free.
After your recieve your stucco report back you have three options: 1) Walk away from the house. 2) ask the seller to repair the defects 3) Bite the bullet and you pay for the repairs. If you get the seller to repair the defects make sure that again you choose the company that does the repairs. Remember not every stucco company has the capabilities to repair the problems. Again, check with Moisture Warranty for a list of approved repair companies. A couple of my favorites are Achilles Construction and Craftmaster.
As a buyer you can also ask the seller for a one year stucco warranty through Moisture Warranty, the cost of a warranty is a good chunk of change...approximately $1000. But it is well worth it!!
If you are a seller make sure that these 3 things happen to help sell your home faster. 1) Have a stucco inspection done to your house prior to putting it on the market. 2) Offer buyers a 1 year moisture free warranty. 3) Make sure that your Realtor puts in the comment section on the MLS and flyers that you are offering a home warranty and that you have a current stucco report.
I know this may seem a bit overwhelming but if you have a good agent to guide you through you will have a solid house! But once you get into your house make sure that every 18 months you have a company that comes out to make sure all cracks are sealed! - Nesa Kleinheksel

Financing a home, which affects, both, buyers and sellers, has gotten easier with more loan programs out there than ever before.
Lenders are offering "Zero Down", "Interest Only", and "Balloon" products that are flying off the shelf. No longer does a purchaser have to go to Guido to get a 10% interest rate B-C loan, but he or she may, in fact, qualify for a 7% FHA (liberal) loan.
The resources available to both banks and mortgage brokers (loan officers with the capability of working with several banks) allow a prospective home buyer to be approved within 7-10 days, and sometimes within minutes in their office.
Less paper work is required and the need to constantly supply documentation is gradually diminishing. Too many people have been put through the mortgage ringer and it's about time the process has gotten streamlined.
A recent shake-up in the insurance industry will make it tougher for you to get, both, auto and homeowner's insurance (the latter, a necessity to close a loan) if you have marginal credit or have owned a home previously and have made a claim.
Insurance agents are migrating towards using credit scores to approve or deny policies and are utilizing "Clue Reports" to research previous claim histories in an effort to find the profitable clients.
Thinking of applying with State Farm for a homeowner's policy?
Consider other companies if you're not already a policy holder. According to a close agent friend, State Farm (the nation's largest insurance company) is not writing new home owner policies due to its losses over the last three years. That is big!
All marketing has shifted to the internet and roughly 3/4 of prospective buyers are primarily utilizing the net for their home search.
I used to spend hundreds of dollars each month on AJC classifieds. Now, I devote that investment into web site advertising and positioning. Fully, 85% of my business comes from the internet.
You want results, don't hire a realtor without a PERSONAL web site. I repeat, don't hire a realtor without a PERSONAL web site.
Sometimes, sellers don't have the funds available or time to do repairs prior to closing. A repair allowance works in lieu of physically addressing issues. Some lenders, though, are now requiring that either the seller or buyer provide written estimates for the repairs that will be handled after closing. Previously, all you needed to do was state a contractor and an amount to be paid at closing. Now, it's no written estimate on letterhead, no closing.
