Following the glass staircase..
Article Abstract:
An innovative glass staircase design was employed by UK architect design team, Alan Power Architects, when re-designing a terraced house in the Notting Hill Gate area of London. Laminated, strengthened glass was used to build the staircase, supported by stainless steel struts which protruded from each side of the stair well. A glass wall provided extra natural lighting, creating a feeling of space in the small house. Extensive use of natural materials inside the house continue the feeling of openness and light.

The Big Cover-Up
Article Abstract:
A good running jacket is important for staying warm and dry during the winter season. When buying a jacket, runners should look for one that is large enough to fit over other layers, can protect the wearer from wind, rain and snow, will manage perspiration, and is lightweight. 10 jackets are featured, complete with product specifications and short evaluations. Most range in price from $100-$150. Several other running garments are also included.
