Milgard's Consumer Brand Manager Jeremiah Noneman Discusses Replacement Window Quality
Founded in the Pacific Northwest in 1958, Milgard has evolved from a family-owned glass company to one of the nation's largest and most reputable window and glass door producers. Its emphasis on hiring the best employees, producing excellent products and superior customer service is evident from its industry-leading Full Lifetime Warranty.
Vertical integration has been a key component to Milgard's success, enabling them to conduct their own research and development while manufacturing each and every window line under the Milgard name. From making frames to tempering glass, the company produces most of its own components and ensures strict quality controls from start to finish.
For the latest in our Interview Series, we spoke with Milgard's Consumer Brand Manager Jeremiah Noneman who gave us an inside look at what sets Milgard apart from their competition.
RW4D: Milgard consistently develops new technologies and window options. Among its recent additions, the Essence Series window line combines the best of traditional wood with the latest in fiberglass innovation. Tell us a little about these windows and the benefits of fiberglass to an all-wood window.
JN: Inside, Essence windows are a natural, solid wood. Outside, they have a strong fiberglass exterior that won't rot or warp like ordinary wood-only windows. This exceptional durability is why Milgard can offer something you simply won't find in other wood windows: a Full Lifetime Warranty with Glass Breakage Coverage, parts and labor included.
When we set out to create a wood window, good wasn't good enough. We started from scratch and re-thought just about everything. Essence window interiors have many new features, such as our double hung window tilt latch with recessed release on our double hung and glider windows. This new feature gives the window a sleek, clean look and makes the window easy to tilt open for convenient cleaning. Our fiberglass exterior provides excellent resistant to water, cold, heat, insects, salt air and ultraviolet rays, which make our windows last longer and require very little maintenance.
Coordination and consistency are important in a well designed home. Essence windows and doors are available in 15 exterior window colors and solid wood interior options include Pine, Primed Wood, and Clear Vertical Douglas Fir. I'm only scratching the surface; there are so many advantages to the new Essence Series windows and doors. For more information, I'd recommend homeowners visit the Essence Series section of our website.
RWFD: For home owners that prefer vinyl windows, there is no shortage of offerings as more Americans choose vinyl than any other material. How can consumers determine the quality of the vinyl itself and its long-term performance?
JN: Not all vinyl windows are equal. The key "ingredients" that make up the vinyl frame for a window can vary greatly among manufactures. Each additive to a company's vinyl "recipe" helps determine the long-term characteristics of the final product, including its impact resistance and how it handles the summer heat and winter chill. At Milgard, we understand the impact our vinyl compounds have on our window products over time. That's why we choose only quality materials at optimal levels. We use a precise level of ultraviolet barriers that make sure your vinyl will continue to look and perform beautifully over time. We own and operate one of the most advanced vinyl extrusion facilities in North America and have all of this technology, talent and equipment in house. As a result, we have complete control over quality and testing, with minimal lead times.
One result of our precise extrusion equipment is a smooth, stable surface area. This smooth finish goes well beyond a window that looks better. Less smooth surfaces can trap small particles of dirt, grease and dust in its "valleys". They can also have nearly twice the surface area of smoother frames and absorb nearly twice the heat and damaging ultraviolet light. Smoother surfaces help keep your window frames cleaner and looking newer. It even keeps the surface cooler. In fact, our vinyl profiles exceed the American Architectural Manufacturers Association's stringent requirements for weather resistance, impact resistance and heat reversion.
Vinyl quality isn't the only thing to look at when selecting a vinyl replacement window. Consumers desire more design flexibility, but still require quality and durability. Milgard Premium Exterior Vinyl Finishes are available in four new colors in addition to our traditional white and tan. Some of our competitors' paint reflects damaging UV rays, which over time can dull, warp, and crack the paint. Milgard Premium Exterior Vinyl Finishes, on the other hand, are translucent. New coating technology allows UV rays to pass through Milgard paint so that vinyl reflects the UV rays. This preserves the exterior color and finish.
RWFD: Energy efficiency is at the top of everyone's list today and there are numerous industry ratings which guide home owners to the most efficient replacement windows. These, however, can also be daunting to the unitiated. Taking into account local climate, which ratings make the choice easiest for first-time window shoppers?
JN: ENERGY STAR® provides home owners a simplified system for evaluating what's important for their local climate. It's a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its mission is to help us all save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. ENERGY STAR has divided the United States into 5 climate zones. Milgard windows can meet ENERGY STAR qualifications in all zones.
In hot climates homeowners want a low solar heat gain coefficient. In cold climates a low U-factor is important. All Milgard dual-pane windows and patio doors come with SunCoat® Low-E glass standard which is a microscopically thin coating applied to one side of the glass that reflects heat from its source in the summer and keeps heat inside in the winter. SunCoat Low-E glass also reduces harmful UV rays by up to 84 percent. We also offer SunCoatMAX® Low-E glass, which provides the best clarity and highest performance all solar Low-E glass products.
RWFD: In addition to climate concerns and energy efficiency, home owners often have other unique needs to take into account. For urban dwellers, exterior noise is an issue to contend with inside the home. What does Milgard offer for these owners who enjoy the city life but not the noise nuisances?
JN: Our Quiet Line™ windows are a great solution if you live near an airport, overlook a busy road, or face any frequent environmental noise. Whether it's the scream of a fire truck passing by or the drone of a neighbor's barking dog, the overall comfort of your home is impacted. Understanding sound, and the different ways to control it, is the first step in determining what window solution is right for your home.
Sound transmission occurs whenever there is an air-space. It is important to note that sound reducing systems will be rendered ineffective if air leaks exist around glass, doors, vents, or other areas. Our superior craftsmanship, advanced engineering and high performance glazing option provide some of the highest sound control options available in residential windows.
RWFD: Speaking of options, among Milgard's offerings is its SmartTouch hardware option. What sets this hardware apart from others on the market?
JN: The functionality and aesthetics of a window's hardware are important factors when selecting a window. Our exclusive SmartTouch™ lock comes standard on all Tuscany™ Series vinyl replacement windows. We were the first window manufacture to receive the Arthritis Foundation Ease-of-Use Commendation and only window manufacturer to receive a 2008 Bronze IDEA award for design. Recognized for the simple easy-to-use, one-touch operation, our patented SmartTouch lock is easy to use for people of all ages. It also offers a clean design, built into the sash rail. The lock profile is essentially flush with the window for a sleek sophisticated look.
RWFD: Good windows installed properly are a long-term investment that should stand the test of time. How does Milgard's Full Lifetime Warranty distinguish its windows from others and offer peace of mind for consumers?
JN: When you invest in new windows and doors, the warranty is a critical part of the decision process. You'll notice our residential window warranty isn't a "limited warranty" or a "limited lifetime warranty." It's a "Full Lifetime Warranty" for as long as you own and reside in your home. The distinction is that full warranties meet certain federal minimum standards for written warranties on consumer products while limited warranties do not. This means that, under a full warranty, the warrantor must repair or replace the products at no charge to the consumer, and may only refund the purchase price in fulfillment of the warranty when that's what the consumer requests. In contrast, under a limited warranty, the warrantor may charge service costs and fees related to repair or replacement. And even if parts and labor are provided at no charge under the limited warranty, the limited warrantor may reserve the right to refund the purchase price to the consumer in fulfillment of the warranty rather than making the repairs or replacing the products at no charge.
Consumers should look and see if the manufacturer stands behind its products. We stand behind every window and patio door we build. If something covered by our Full Lifetime Warranty needs attention, Milgard's factory-trained technicians go out and make it right- parts and labor included. If a repair is not commercially practical or cannot be made in a timely fashion, we will replace the product at no charge unless you request a refund of the purchase price instead. As an added benefit, if you sell your home, Milgard will automatically extend full warranty coverage for 10 years from the effective date of the original warranty to the successive owners, free of charge.
RWFD: Lastly, where should prospective buyers go to discover the right Milgard windows and options for their needs as well as installation choices?
JN: Our goal is to provide homeowners with a smooth and enjoyable shopping experience. If a homeowner is in the early stages of the shopping process, they can go online and use our Help Me Choose and Help Me Budget tools. These are great for helping the consumer in the earliest planning stages.
A homeowner's best resource will be utilizing a local Milgard Certified Dealer. Milgard Certified Dealers are trained by Milgard and are ready to help you with every phase of your window selection and installation. Many offer seminars for their customers on energy efficiency in their area. You can be certain they will give you the best possible advice and service to help you with your window and patio door needs. To find a Milgard Certified Dealer near you visit our Dealer Locator.
RWFD: Jeremiah, thanks for taking the time to fill us in on the latest Milgard products and how consumers can make the right window choice for their needs.
JN: Thank you!

Part of what has made Fulham a Club with such a rich and famous history are the many legendary figures who have served at Craven Cottage over the years.
In this section we pay tribute to those men who have sadly now passed away.
A stylish full-back, Joe Bacuzzi was almost 40 when he retired in 1956 after nearly 300 First Team appearances for Fulham.
One of the greatest footballers of all time, George Best scored some memorable goals for Fulham during his time at Craven Cottage.
A bustling old-fashioned striker with a nose for goal, Maurice Cook's contribution to the Fulham cause was often underrated.
Known as the 'Galloping Hairpin' because of his unusual physique, the pacey Jim Hammond was a born goalscorer with a fierce shot.
Ray Harford was virtually unknown when he joined Fulham's backroom staff in 1981 but he went on to become a legend at the Club.
Quite simply Fulham's best-ever player, Johnny Haynes was one of British football's outstanding inside-forwards.
After making almost 300 appearances for Fulham as a player, Jimmy Hill went on to play an immeasurable role in keeping the Club afloat decades later.
A typically English centre-forward, Bedford Jezzard was a powerful header of the ball who could score with both feet.
A flamboyant left-back with a wide range of tricks, Jim Langley made a total of 356 appearances for Fulham, scoring 33 times.
In 280 games for the Club, Graham Leggat scored no less than 134 times – which included a staggering eight hat-tricks.
Quick off the mark with a dangerous cross, Frank Penn set a new Club appearance record during his time at Fulham.
Two spells as a player at Craven Cottage and one as Manager set Sir Bobby Robson on the road to national and international success.
Arthur Stevens became only the third player to score a century of goals for the Club, a remarkable feat for a winger.
Alec Stock took Fulham to Wembley for the 1975 FA Cup Final, an achievement that guarantees him legendary status at the Cottage.

It would have been a confusing scene for anyone driving past the Durango Arts Center on Friday evening.
With a crowd gathered around a rusty and flaming 55-gallon drum on the corner of East Second Avenue and Eight Street, you may have expected to hear the sounds of doo-wop singers. But no, the people were all there just for a cup of tea.
Local potter Ed Bolsters public demonstration of raku firing was part of the kickoff party for the latest exhibit at DAC, Three Cups: White, Green, Black Vessels for Tea. It features chawan (ceremonial tea bowls) and yunomi-inspired tea cups from about 80 artists from as far away as the U.K.
This is unbelievable, said Lisa Pedolsky, a local potter who has her own work in the show but still was awed by the collection of talent. Many of us only get to see work like this two-dimensionally in books, and its fantastic to see these kinds of pieces in the flesh.
Curating Three Cups was quite a task for exhibits director Mary Puller, but because she is well-connected, she brought in the right people to help. Potters Scott and Kay Roberts and Adam Field recruited potters worldwide for the show. The original idea was to include 40 artists, but as word spread so did interest. The organizers ended up inviting twice that many.
Durangos getting international recognition for this, and a lot of that had to do with these people taking the show seriously, Scott Roberts said.
There are two parts to Three Cups. There are the cups, and then there is the tea. Almost every item in the gallery was designed and created to be used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. Durangoans are fortunate to have an expert in that field, too Michael Thunder of the White Dragon Tea Room. He was invited to put the pieces into cultural perspective.
Its in the Japanese tradition of change and practicality that these pieces are so attuned to their function that they become art, Thunder said. And in that same tradition, it truly took a village to do this.
Practical is an apt description of this art exhibition, because each piece is designed to be used, not just admired. The pieces are grouped by artist in the Barbara Conrad Gallery. The setup would resemble a Bed Bath & Beyond were it not for a few added touches to enliven the walls. Puller, through her connections at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, acquired several kimonos and other Eastern garments on loan, to hang on the walls. The garments are an interesting and visually pleasing addition to the displays of ceramics.
During the shows run in the coming days and weeks, there will be several pottery and tea ceremony demonstrations. The organizers hope that by watching the artists at work and even participating visitors will get a sense of the personal and emotional aspects of the processes.
Theres a lot of energy in this room, Roberts said. These all started as lumps of clay. We see the end result, but maybe not everyone thinks about the real start of it, and thats something that deserves to be shared.

More People Realizing That The FBI's 'Big Wins' Are In Stopping Its Own Made Up Terror Plots
from the playing-at-cops-and-robbers deptWe've pointed out, more than a few times, that it seems like so many of the big "terrorist plots" that the FBI has been "breaking up" (to tremendous fanfare and press coverage) really appear to be the FBI's own terror plots. It appears we're not alone in that assessment. The Guardian recently had an excellent article highlighting these same concerns:
Critics say the FBI is running a sting operation across America, targeting � to a large extent � the Muslim community by luring people into fake terror plots. FBI bureaux send informants to trawl through Muslim communities, hang out in mosques and community centres, and talk of radical Islam in order to identify possible targets sympathetic to such ideals. Or they will respond to the most bizarre of tip-offs, including, in one case, a man who claimed to have seen terror chief Ayman al-Zawahiri living in northern California in the late 1990s.While we always get attacked whenever we use the word "entrapment" to describe these kinds of cases, it appears that at least some of the folks charged in these cases are going to try to claim entrapment in court. It may be tough to find a sympathetic court, considering many of those involved did effectively say they would take part in an attack. But if every part of it was orchestrated and paid for by the FBI... then the whole operation seems questionable. The real issue is why this is a tactic the FBI uses. It's almost as if they feel the need to "create" fake plots to stop just to justify their existence (and very, very large budget).
That tipster was quickly hired as a well-paid informant. If suitable suspects are identified, FBI agents then run a sting, often creating a fake terror plot in which it helps supply weapons and targets. Then, dramatic arrests are made, press conferences held and lengthy convictions secured.
But what is not clear is if many real, actual terrorists are involved.

A source said the Sox were one of several teams putting a claim in for Thome, whose mere presence in the clubhouse would be a plus. It wouldn't hurt Dunn and those Sox who didn't play with Thome in 2006-09 to watch the future Hall of Famer approach his every-day job and the designated hitter role.
"I'd love to add Jim Thome back, to be honest with you," said Guillen, who was looking for a more versatile designated hitter that also could play the field when Thome left for Minnesota in 2010. "A lot of people think I don't want Jimmy. It was just at that time we didn't have any place for him."
Yeah, we had room for Mark Kotsay but not Jim Thome.
"But I have said day in and day out that Jimmy is one of my favorite guys in baseball. That's up to [general manger] Kenny [Williams]. I don't know if we're going to have five DHs. I don't expect him to be here, but if they want to bring him here, if you ask anybody wearing this uniform if they want Jim Thome back, everybody here would say yes. But that's not our department."
UPDATE: I forgot this last night the Sox may be blocking Cleveland from getting Thome. And we see today that they may have claimed another lefty: OF/DH Jason Kubel.
Other White Sox links:
- J.J. looks at Detroit's remaining schedule and doesn't like what he sees.
- James can't dislike Zach Stewart anymore and recaps the past week.
- Mike explains how to fire Greg Walker and says that the Sox need to go on a winning streak and drop the 'winning series' concept.
- Fangraphs looks for a player similar to Brent Lillibridge and comes up with Jeff Liefer. J.J. says there's a better comparable: Pablo Ozuna. Pablo!

Animals for Adoption
Your Fork
Logan County Animal Control offers reduced fees
for the adoption of cats through August 30
Send a link to a friend
[August 25, 2014]
LINCOLN - Logan County residents
interested in being healthier might want to consider adopting a cat
or kitten from the Logan County Animal Control at a reduced adoption
fee. Thanks to financial assistance from Logan County Animal Rescue,
the adoption price for cats and kittens has been reduced from $85 to
$50, now through August 30.
Health experts say that owning a cat can help lower risk of heart
disease, stroke and cardiovascular disease, as well as helping
improve the owners' immune functions. Cats also help reduce anxiety,
depression and stress in their owners.
The $50 adoption fee includes spay/neutering, FILV test, distemper
shots, micro chips and rabies vaccine. These services could cost a
pet owner $200-$350 if arrangements were made privately.
The offer is good for anyone with an approved adoption application.
Animal viewing hours are Monday through Friday, 10:30 am to 4:30 pm
and Saturday 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Animal Control is located at 1515 N. Kickapoo St., Lincoln. Their
telephone number is 735-3232.

Paperbag Album Tutorial
If you look out on the internet, you will find MANY different styles of creating these paperbag albums, this is just one way that you can create it.
You will need three or more paper bags for this project and I would suggest using the best tape or glue that you have. It will need to stand the test of time with being handled.
Start by trimming the top, rough edge, of each paper bag to make a 12" long bag. Fold all 3 bags in half. Lay one folded bag on top of the other and using strong glue adhere the bottom folded portion of one bag to the top folded portion of another, creating a page in the center with the two bags.
There will now be four pages with a 6"x3" pocket on each page on the left hand side, and 3 top inserting pockets created from the tops of the bags.
Glue all pleats on sides of bags and place a small amount of tape along the very edge (top and bottom of book) on each pocket to hold down sides of pockets.
Lili of the Valley's Classic Christmas Paper Pad, and color images with distress ink refills or your favorite coloring medium to decorate all pages and pockets of the cookbook. Make tags with the new Christmas Recipes stamps and add ribbon.

Your doctor
has applied a cast or splint to protect a broken bone or injury. If you have a
removable splint, follow your doctor's instructions and only remove the splint
if he or she says you can. If you have a cast, follow your doctor's
instructions for when you can first put pressure on the cast. Fiberglass casts
dry quickly, but plaster casts may take several days before they are hard

Bring Your Phone Into The New Age With MP3 Ringtones
There was a time when it was suitable to have a regular ringer on your cell phone. Today, there are literally thousands of Mp3 ringtones, in every genre of music, with which you can upload to your cell phone in a matter of minutes.
What is the fascination with Mp3 ringtones? Apart from the fact that you can upload any top-selling song to your cell phone instead of settling for the annoying ringer that comes with a new phone, the Mp3 format has become a phenomenon since it's inception in the early 90s.
Mp3 ringtones are not limited to music. There are theme songs from TV shows, quotes from popular TV dramas, movie tones, animal tones, and ring tones from artists and celebrities from A to Z.
Anyone with a cell phone has inevitably added Mp3 ringtones to their cell phone reflecting their style and personality. If the world were suddenly to remain silent for five minutes, you would hear a cacophony of music that would rival any symphonic chorus.
So what is the attraction? Well, it is easily explained. Whether you're young or old, having the ability to hear a tune from a favorite TV show from the 50s or 60s is quite engaging. Perhaps you were a fan of Laverne and Shirley or Bonanza or remember every episode from the Love Boat; there is something to be said in hearing a tune that brings back pleasant memories.
For today's youth, the number of ringtones available seems endless. Moreover, with all of the free Mp3 ring tones online, they can spend hours upon hours uploading them to their cell phones and/or create their own library of sounds. In fact, anyone who is technically savvy can make their own as well.
When cell phones were first introduced, they were meant to be used for emergencies only. Today, however, cell phones are technological wonders that can be used to take pictures, send and receive emails, text message, upload files, access the internet, and yes; when used as a communication device, can grab one's attention with the myriad of sounds that emanate from it.
For those of us who have yet to embark on this new and exciting format that is Mp3, the opportunity to transform a cell phone into an enjoyable and fun experience can be achieved quite easily. As with any technology that is new, once you've tried it you begin to wonder why you didn't take advantage of it from its inception.
Mp3 ringtones have become more sophisticated since the early 90s, and they offer a cell phone user an opportunity to participate in a new "wav" of technology that has swept the nation and the world.
