I think that glass blowing is really cool. The fact that they create handmade cabinets knobs,doorknobs and exotic chandeliers is an amazing technique. It is very unique that no two pieces of work will ever exist, all the work is one of a kind. You can also request and create a vision of mind and have the glass blowers create your own personal masterpiece. The process of is highly intensive but certainly worth the long wait to receive the personal glass art.

Custom handmade doorknobs and cabinets are particular unique in the 21st Century. As glass blowers, Martin and Marian Megna have made their business Megna Glass a well-known fame through the Old English technique to creat archigtechual hardware, they've only seen excellence in their work and progress. Over the years, the private business has flourished as Megna Glass has been featured in House Beautiful Magazine, and Architectural Digest Magazine.

The duo moved from Long Beach, New York to furthest out east in Sag Harbor in 1999 and established Megna Glass, designing innovative new products. They specialize in cabinets, doorknobs, orinments and custom lighting. With over variety of 36 colors as an option, customers have the opportunity to create the most immaginative visions that comes to mind.

Martin Megna is an engineer, creating the custom products, as his wife, Marian, is the artist, who sketches the images that Martin excutes through glass blowing. Marian is Martin's assistant and artist. Martin has refurbished a 1960 antique glass press and insist on creating art that is economically and environmentally friendly.

" What I like most, is that glass has been around for two thousands year, that I can come in today in the 21st century and create something that has never been made," said Martin Megna.

The couple works as a team and tries to stay out of each others way. In the morning around 10:00 a.m., they light the equipment up and turn the enealer. Then they then lay the equipment out, open the furnist door, gathers the glass, using a select cheerywood block to mold the glasss and constantly reheating the glass in a glory hole, because if the glass cools they cannot shape it.

Megna Glass installed an 18 foot highs lead crystal and handmade bead curtain spanning over 100 feet across the High Stakes Gaming Area at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut.

"I like them because they'll be there long after were gone," said Marian Megna.

Sarah Palin did surprisingly well on SNL. She still is an idiot and she is not going to the White House. P.S. I love Tina Fey~

This was absolutely the best election debate out of the three of them. It was very fiery and fierce. McCain was certainly taking the lead in the beginning of the election by attacking Obama with the"plummer Joe" statements and Obama wrongness with the middle man of the country with higher taxes. However, my man Obama kept his cool as usual and not McCain where it hurt. Obama addressed the issues that are on the mind of all Americans are the economy continues to collapse. He spoke to the people, answering their concerns and worries of the future. Obama delivered a clever and honorable closing speech. I don't think that anyone's mind were changed last night but both candidates certainly made a great impression. OBAMA 08!

Kimberly Dozier came to Stony Brook University to express her experience and survival as a CBS correspondent in Baghdad. The story that she shared with students was moving. It is amazing how after everything she has been through, from the car bombing and lost of her crew she was able to recover mentally and physically. I found her story to truly demonstrate the devotion and love for journalism that one can have. She didn't let death of her friends and the danger of her life stop her from what she loves most.
