But it's not only climate, that makes these thin marble facades sometimes problematic. It's also the forces of the building itself ... we found a solution to these issues (kind of). Reinforcing the marble facade systems can drastically increase the lifetime, as you may read here http://whitepapers.parabeam.nl/paper/fiberglass-reinforced-marble (I hope it's ok that I place that link here)Yaela Vogelsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969755186620450545.post-58874372716055782732013-07-02T11:44:33.469-07:002013-07-02T11:44:33.469-07:00So maybe I'm four years late with this, but I ...So maybe I'm four years late with this, but I happened to drive to Riverside last weekend and came across something interesting. Go to GoogleEarth and take a look at the southeast corner of the intersection of I-80 and Iowa 27 at Iowa City. You'll notice a big quarry there, with some sizable limestone cliffs. Who knows how big this quarry could become in the next 200 years, or where else in the area they might dig?Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12505935455547470981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969755186620450545.post-25563959058061996092013-04-23T02:56:41.815-07:002013-04-23T02:56:41.815-07:00Great post guys keep posting like this granite ed...Great post guys keep posting like this <a href="http://www.stoneworksgranite.ca/" rel="nofollow">granite edmonton</a>Gextonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664625916235336440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969755186620450545.post-35053412934966857012013-02-21T22:29:24.264-08:002013-02-21T22:29:24.264-08:00Hi Linda!

I love Greystone buildings<br />I watch lots of old/classic movies and am impressed with homes and apartments from a bygone era.<br />Arch door ways, built in shelves, hardwood floors and sconce lights.<br />This new stuff doesn't compare to that beautiful classic style!<br />I live in a Bungalow apartment in California that was built in 1936. glass door knobs,separate eat in kitchen with door, built in dresser drawers in the beddroom. built in the wall mail slot, tall cabinets, nook in the hallway wall.

My parents bought it in December, 1948, and we owned it, (it survived two riots) through my mother's death in 1994. It had leaded glass windows, pillars, and decorative concrete, including a bird bath at the top!Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969755186620450545.post-32553126940533766812011-12-27T23:30:20.007-08:002011-12-27T23:30:20.007-08:00Being jewish, i feel the professor is way off rega...Being jewish, i feel the professor is way off regarding the pronunciation of the name. The secret of the tetragrammatron is to not say it. How can i explain this? This name was pronounced only by one person once a year - by the high priest on yom kippur. When he did so, he was alone & in a room completely obscured with incense smoke. If the name was in the room for him to read, how could he possibly see it in order to read it? It is why jews say hashem - the name. Jews never refer to the common mispronounced word known as yehovah or yahweh. if the high priest spoke anything he said "Hashem". By not saying G-d, a name, one is not defining G-d, & you are not committing an act of idolatry. As St. John of the cross states - the goal of depicting G-d is to fail, and thereby to realize the infinity of G-d.

The microgravity explains the large, precipitated mineral-grain size and the aqueous setting explains the sedimentary layering.<br /><br />The sharp isoclinal folding of comet rock occurs when differentiated Outer Oort Cloud (OOC) comet cores shrink during diagenesis, causing 'circumferential folding' which is not found in terrestrial sedimentary rock. Heat and temperature of metamorphism only converts hydrous minerals to their anhydrous counterparts but has no effect on the layering or folding (except in the case of massive granite and massive gneiss which has melted and is therefore plutonic).<br /><br />Mantled gneiss domes are comet cores formed from authigenic rock (formed by precipitation of mineral grains) such as gneiss and quartzite and hydrothermal rock like schist and dolomite formed from hydrothermal fluids expelled during diagenesis of the underlying gneiss.<br /><br />Core collapse of comet clusters create larger compound comets from comet mergers of multiple gneiss-dome comet cores, and smaller-grained authigenic shale forms in the higher gravity of the larger compound comet cores. The Appalachian province 'platform' is an example of a compound comet core from the OOC.<br /><br />The Black Hills is a granite-greenstone compound-comet core from the Inner Oort Cloud which is a second comet reservoir which is volatile-enriched.Dave19128https://www.blogger.com/profile/11976361505661383968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969755186620450545.post-28237152313615028912011-10-23T18:04:59.773-07:002011-10-23T18:04:59.773-07:00Great building.

I have a lot of pictures if you are interested, of the graveyard, the school house, a cistern and the magnificent huge onyx stones. We are off to try to find the onyx canyon on the old road to Ensenada just east of La Mission. At one time El Marmol shipped out 100 tons a day by wagon and mule to the coast either Punta de Las Cancas or Las Morales and went by ship to San Francisco. We also found a turquoise mine in our travels and met the miner who allowed us to mine on his 1000 hecatre property. All in all Baja is a facinating area.Morgan Marketing Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14702413485069974718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969755186620450545.post-27622110639788018952011-08-10T07:35:44.111-07:002011-08-10T07:35:44.111-07:00Carl,
