Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

A construction worker allegedly stabbed his co-worker to death in a church in Sampaloc, Manila yesterday.

Police identified the victim as Mario Gorpedo, 27, stay-in at Flashbuilt Construction Inc. and of Northern Samar.

Case officer PO3 Marlon San Pedro disclosed that the incident happened at around 4:30 a.m. at the construction site of Grace Gospel Church on Mangga Ave. corner Buenos Aires St. Initial investigation said that the suspect, Jonard Caberte, 35, of Negros Occidental, stabbed the victim while he was sleeping. A witness, co-worker Anito Galias, saw the suspect fleeing.

Galias saw Gorpedo gasping for breath on his wooden bed. The victim was taken to the Ospital ng Sampaloc where he died.

Police are eyeing revenge as the motive of the killing.

(The reason for the killing) may be out of revenge, because last Friday, the victim, along with his unknown companion, ganged up the suspects brother (who is also their co-worker), San Pedro said. (Rachel Joyce E. Burce)

THE property developer behind the multi-million pound conversion of a 189-year-old church into luxury studio apartments has opened its doors to the public.

Trinity Court on the site of the former Holy Trinity Church next to Bolton railway station was officially launched by Bolton Mayor, Cllr Martin Donaghy.

The Grade Two Listed building within a building now has 82 apartments divided into three sections The Church, The Knave and The Gatehouse. Twenty-one of the flats have already been taken.

The apartments are being let by Primo Property Management, the sister company of Bolton property developers Forshaw Land and Property Group founded by Lyndon Forshaw in 2008 and run with director brothers Glenn and Jonathan.

The Forshaw company was born out of Forshaw Demolition, founded in 1921 by their grandfather Walter Forshaw and run by their father Harry, who rang bells at the church as a youngster.

The full refurbishment has been carried out by Haslingden firm Colbre Projects Ltd and has taken 16 months to complete.

Project leader was construction director Bob Misell. He said: If the building had been left much longer, it would have started to collapse. Our initial objective was to prevent the shell of the church from deteriorating while the plans for the development were drawn up.

It has been reroofed and the parapet walls have been rebuilt. More than 50,000 concrete blocks have been used in what has been a major structural project.

Great lengths have been gone to by the developer and ourselves to preserve the character of the building and there are some beautiful features which remain from the original church.

Holy Trinity Church was one of the so-called Waterloo Churches built with a government fund set up in 1818 as a token of the nations thanks for victory in the famous battle against Napoleon. It cost 13,824 - 1 million in todays money to build and had been empty since 1992.

SAN JOSE -- Holy Cross Catholic Church, a century-old center of a beloved parish, where Mass was still recited in Italian, burned down Sunday afternoon in a four-alarm fire.

"This was home, and now it's gone," said Catherine Ventimiglia, who attended the Italian Mass that ended minutes before the fire broke out around 2 p.m. "We are stunned. My legs are numb from this."

San Jose Fire Department Capt. Mike Van Elgort said the cause of the fire was not known, but the blaze did spread rapidly through the second floor and then to the roof. More than 100 firefighting personnel were still struggling to control the blaze in the late afternoon. By then, the roof had collapsed and two minarets had tumbled.

"It's made of heavy timber, old construction methods and old dry wood," Van Elgort said. "It's a beautiful building. It's a tragedy to see it demolished."

However, the fire had spared the rectory and a meeting hall.

Hundreds of local residents and parishioners -- speaking in Italian, English or Spanish -- stood at the corner of Jackson and North 13th streets and watched their neighborhood and spiritual institution crumble before their eyes.

"I can't believe I'm not going to see my church again," said Debra Cancilla, who was baptized there in the 1950s. "You get to know people and where they sit every Sunday, for years and years. That's not going to happen anymore."

Special crucifix

Holy Cross was founded in 1906 to serve working-class Italian immigrants settling in the Northside, one of San Jose's oldest neighborhoods. The church gained special recognition five years later as an Italian National Parish.

The newcomers that followed the Italians over the decades remained largely Catholic and working class, but they came from Portugal, Texas, the Philippines and Mexico. The waves of newcomers helped the church remain a Northside anchor.

I use my microwave nearly every day, mostly for heating leftovers, rewarming my morning coffee and steaming vegetables. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 90 per cent of American homes have the appliance, so I figured it was universally regarded as safe. I was taken by surprise when a recipe I posted online generated some passionate anti-microwave comments.

A quick Web search of microwave dangers brought up some startling claims and concerns. There are questions about radiation leakage, arguments that microwave cooking violently rips apart food molecules rendering them void of nutrients, and earnest warnings that ice crystals from microwaved water form a similar shape to those from water that was repeatedly exposed to the word Satan. (You just cant make this stuff up.)

Although the devil-water concept is a bit, um, far-fetched, some of the other claims cited seemingly sound sources, so I decided to investigate.

1. How do microwaves work?

The microwave contains an electron tube called a magnetron, which produces electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength a little shorter (micro) than that of a normal radio wave. These waves cause the water molecules in food to vibrate, which ultimately produces the heat that cooks the food. Thats why ingredients with a high water content, such as vegetables, cook very quickly in a microwave.

Its a common myth that microwaves cook from the inside out. In fact their waves dont actually penetrate foods very well, which is why you get cold spots in thicker foods and need to let them rest after microwaving to allow the heat to disperse for even cooking.

2. Do they emit radiation?

Microwaves do leak some radiation, but before you panic, read on. To put things in perspective, your laptop, cordless phone and cellphone all leak electromagnetic radiation, too.

The Food and Drug Administration has strict limits on the amount that can leak from a microwave oven throughout its lifetime, and it is far below the amount known to harm people. Part of the requirement is that the appliances are built with double interlock systems that stop the production of microwaves as soon as the latch is released.

The level of normal exposure also drops dramatically as you move away from the oven so, to be extra cautious, simply stand away from it while its on. Microwaves turn on and off like a light bulb: when they are off, no waves are emitted, and microwave energy cannot linger in the oven or in food.

City planners Tuesday will review details of a proposed $14 million boutique hotel Downtown and an 89-unit, $10.5 million apartment building in East Liberty.

Greenway Realty Holdings of New Jersey would build the hotel in an 11-story building at 424 Third Ave. that housed the Salvation Army. Greenway bought the building in March for $2.16 million. Its Distrikt Hotel would be the second of its kind; the first is in New York City.

Crews would renovate the interior and exterior of the 1920s building, removing all but historical features and upgrading the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. An addition is proposed, as is off-site parking for 68 vehicles.

Greenway wants to start construction in January and has a target opening date of April 2016.

In East Liberty, Walnut Capital Partners want to continue its apartment construction by building the Penn Highland Building, a six-story structure at the corner of Highland and Penn avenues.

Its nearby 117-unit Walnut on Highland apartments in the former Highland Building is fully leased, with a waiting list.

The structure would have five floors of apartments above first-floor retailers.

The proposal includes turning Antler Way, an alley that separates the two buildings, into a courtyard enclosed by a fence.
