History of a 'miraculous mineral'Asbestos was used in scores of home materials during the 20th century, but there was a cost.By Arrol Gellner, Inman NewsOctober 1, 2006 Over a century ago, American builders began using a remarkable mineral product. Being mined from a type of serpentine rock, it was natural, abundant and easy to produce, yet its unique properties made it almost limitlessly useful.It was resistant to chemicals and intense heat. It was an excellent electrical and thermal insulator. Out of its fibers, you could weave a cloth that wouldn't burn.

Popularity of outdoor entertaining blazing With the mercury in the thermometer starting its annual retreat, fall evenings are soon to be downright nippy.For those nights and the slew of colder ones to follow, local stores say the fire pit is this season's must-have deck/patio accessory.ADVERTISEMENT "I think (fire pits) are growing in popularity all over the country and all over the world," said Tim Sooks, an interior designer for Home Depot.
