 JewishEncyclopedia.com - CÆCILIUS OF CALACTE:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Together with his friend Dionysius, he was the representative in his time of the Attic style of oratory in contradistinction to the verbose Asiatic style.
In his earliest works on rhetoric (Tέχνη Pητορική and Περὶ Σχημάτωμ), Cæcilius showed himself a disciple of the older Attic teachers, who confined their attention to matters of form; but soon afterward he seems to have come under the influence of Dionysius, to whom may be attributed his interest in philologic and esthetic criticism.
As an evidence of his intellectual curiosity, the study of Cicero is particularly note-worthy, in view of the fact that Cæcilius and Dionysius were the only students of Latin literature at a time when it was the literary fashion to dismiss it with contempt.

 V22 - Hercules and the Lion of Nemea
Although the fl figure style of vase painting originated in Corinth, it was the rise to power of the city-state of Athens and its subsequent export of pottery throughout the Mediterranean that brought the Athenian fl figure vase painting style to the forefront in the 5th Century.
Unlike the earlier vase painting styles of Geometric and Corinthian, the fl figure vase artists did not feel compelled to cover the entire vase with design.
The spacing was more centered, with a primary scene on the body of the vase, and the neck and foot of the vase usually left blank, or lightly filled with vines or checkerboards, as if the vase were a canvas for the painting itself, and not an object on its own to be decorated.

Maybe the builder does not want to penetrate the attic floor and roof with any stack, which is needed with traditional 80% furnaces.
I suspect that Mark is right - they are looking at a sealed attic (not vented and insulated at the roof deck) so a direct vent furnace would be needed to get combustion air to the furnace.
What is lost is any attic ducts are now in a hot space and have a higher heat gain during cooling.

While Three in the Attic is a long way from being a collection of dimwits, its upbeat pop sure makes up for a lot of its lyrical shortcomings.
Lively and sprite, the band’s post-emo pop splits the difference between artsy rumination and pop’s extroverted excess and comes off with a record that’s flashy enough on the outside to make it easy to overlook its foggier lyrics.
Three in the Attic’s style isn’t all too revolutionary, though it comes off slick enough to make this record a fun listen.
