Seven Mile Road Waltham is part of the Seven Mile Road family of churches. We have Seven Mile Road DNA infused throughout our church.
These five essentials inform and drive who we are and what we do together. We believe every healthy church will share these essentials, though they may word them differently. Every Seven Mile Road church must be clear on and committed to these essentials.
Gospel Centrality
All that God is for us in Christ, animating who we are and what we do.
The Gospel is the incredible, unexpected, beautiful, and true good news that through the person and work of Christ, God has redeemed sinners like you and me from the curse of our sin. It's the story of a loving and holy Father sending The Son to take our place on a cross, pay our debts, forgive our sins, make us right, adopt us as sons and daughters, give us eternal life, and begin conforming us into the image of the One by whom we were created. The Gospel is the center of our lives and the filter through which everything is run through here.
Unwavering commitment to holy living without performance or pretense.
We have received an abundance of undeserved grace from God. When we grasp the fullness of this truth, it produces in us holiness and humility. While we are saved by grace alone through faith alone, our faith never remains alone. God works in us to produce a life of repentance and obedience so that over time, we look like Christ. Our hearts are resolved to say "yes" to all of Christ's callings on our lives. Because it's all by grace, there's nothing to prove and no boxes to check. With holiness also comes humility. We know deep down that we bring nothing to the table, except our sin. We are broken, in need of a Savior, full stop. Our only boast is in the goodness, mercy, power, and glory of Christ.
Scripture as the first and final authority for all our faith and practice.
We are convinced that our deepest joy intersects with our clearest apprehension of what He has said to be true about who He is, what He has done for us, and how He calls us to live through the pages of Scripture. Our faith, practice, and worldview is informed and shaped by the words of Scripture. And so the Word is always open at Seven Mile Road, whether it be in sermons, in Gospel communities, in team meetings, or in one-on-one discipleship.
Life shared in transparent, long-term, and tight-knit community.
The Church is not a place, event, or spiritual services provider. The church is a community of people being redeemed, knit together, and conformed to the image of God. We share life over the long haul as we respond to the life-altering message of the Gospel. We need each other. Even a casual reading of the New Testament shows that Jesus' church was marked by a beautiful, messy, holy intimacy. They shared life together in the Gospel — they knew each other's names, stories, sins, strengths, weaknesses, issues, dreams, fears, all of it. That's what we are shooting for here: to be a church where friendships run deep.
Intentionally meeting, loving, and engaging friends and neighbors with the Gospel.
We are a sent people — sent into the world to love and bless our neighbors. Everyone at Seven Mile Road is a missionary, on mission with Jesus to see His Kingdom break in on the kingdoms of this world. We are committed to living with boldness, creativity, and hospitality as we move toward our friends and family, neighbors and networks with Gospel love. This means we will be generous with our time, talents, and treasures with hearts that seek tell the Gospel in word and deed.
These six distinctives flow from deep conviction to shape the life and mission of Seven Mile Road. While there is room within Christianity for variance of opinion on these distinctives, we preach, teach, and counsel in accordance with these theological convictions.
A family of churches built to love and lead New Englanders to the real Jesus.
New England is home to nearly 15 million people — townies and transplants, blue collar and white collar, secular and spiritual, liberal and conservative, young and old. While there are church buildings on seemingly every main street, most are memories of a forgotten time. New England is now the most post-Christian and least Biblically-minded region of the country, and the Christian Gospel is met here with a combination of disinterest and disdain. We are energized by this landscape and are training pastors and planting churches that fit and flourish in the New England context.
Ministry grounded in and shaped by the biblical doctrines of grace.
The Reformed Tradition believes that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, all for the glory of God alone. The Gospel is about God's initiating grace — He acts, we respond. Even our response is a gift of faith birthed in us by God's Spirit. Yes, good works flow from the Gospel, but they are not the cause of it. God freely gives grace to us not through performance, work, or merit but simply because of His love. Salvation from beginning to end is a gift. He called us, saved us, regenerated us, forgave us, justified us, adopted us, reconciled us to Himself. Day by day, His sanctifying grace draws us toward holiness and enables us to persevere to the end. This glorious grace frees us from arrogance, self righteousness, and despair because the God who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it. Our Reformed Tradition impacts our understandings of Scripture, preaching, the sacraments, church government, etc.
Men and women partnering together in alignment with their God-given callings.
God made humanity in His own image, as the crown of creation to glorify Him through enjoying fellowship with Him and serving as holy stewards of His world. Both men and women are together created in the divine image and are therefore equal before God — possessing the same moral dignity and value with equal access to God through faith in Christ. At the same time, men and women are distinct. Our diversity as male and female cannot and should not be flattened. Humanity thrives when we celebrate both our unity and diversity as male and female. This has implications for our marriages, homes, and the church. In the creation order before the Fall, God established a pattern for manhood and womanhood. In the home, God has assigned a humbling and unique authority (headship) to husbands to lead and serve with Christ as the ultimate example. In the church, certain qualified men are called to serve as pastors (elders), exercising a servant leadership by which all members thrive. Both the home and in the church ought to be contexts where women thrive. Neither the home nor the church can be healthy without both men and women being loved, taught, respected, heard, and deployed for service. God's highest glory and our deepest joy coincide when we wholeheartedly embrace the sex He has assigned to us and His intentions for our masculinity and femininity.
Serious about planting more missional churches.
Read the New Testament and you will see that starting new churches is how the Gospel spreads. There is no better way to connect with unbelievers than by starting new churches among them. The local church provides the perfect context for effective evangelism: a bunch of people who love and follow Jesus, gather weekly to hear the preached Word, and walk all week through life together in Gospel-centered friendships. So we're not out to grow a megachurch, but to multiply healthy congregations that grow roots in particular New England cities and towns and live with missional intentionality among those people groups. In the coming years, we hope to see thousands of New Englanders believing the Gospel, being discipled, and living on mission in an ever-growing network of healthy Seven Mile Roads for Jesus' glory and our joy.
Tightly contextualized for Gospel advance among specific people groups.
Each Seven Mile Road is sent to love, serve, and bless a people group in a particular place. Living as everyday missionaries gets fleshed out in particular neighborhoods, towns, and cities throughout New England. Rather than focusing regionally, we want every Seven Mile Road church to know and be known locally. This is why Gospel communities play a strategic role in our mission to bring the hope of Christ to distinct neighborhoods all over New England. We are in and for our particular communities.
We're not going anywhere.
We are in for the long-haul, with a steadfast commitment to give every New Englander the opportunity to know, love, and follow Jesus. God works through relationships and relationships take time — over meals, over seasons, over a lifetime. In a transient culture, someone has to stay and say "these are my people." Cold, rocky soil takes time to till and patience to see seeds take root and grow to maturity where Gospel fruit is produced. By God's grace and with his strength, we will work and stay to see His harvest.

If you'll be at SES New York next week, you'll notice that there's a session called Screw Link Building, It's Called Relationship Building."
Featuring Erin Everhart and Jo Turnbull and moderated by Kris Jones, this session goes along nicely with a topic I had in mind for a column about the basics of relationship building.
Considering the timing, I've asked Everhart and Turnbull to answer a few questions on relationship building, link building, and SEO.
Quick Introduction
|Jo Turnbull is founder of SEO Jo Blogs and a blogger for State of Search. She is the organizer of Search London, which holds events every two months featuring key search professionals in the industry.
|Erin Everhart is the director of web and social media marketing at 352 Media Group and a columnist for Search Engine Land.
The Idea & History Behind the Concept of Relationship Building
"Relationship building" became a popular phrase fairly recently, but mostly so after all the high-profile link penalties and algorithm changes of the past couple of years. From a link building perspective, this is something that has always been important, but almost in a more offline than online sort of way.
With the rise of social media, that's changed, so relationship building is becoming a more critical part of many aspects of SEO and SEM. It can lead to links of course, but it can lead to traffic and conversions, too, which is just as good as a link in many cases.
Realtionship building can lead to increased social signals for something that you produce. It can also lead to something good happening months down the road, something that you won't even be able to measure.
In my mind, when people talk about relationship building, they're still talking about link building. Many times, they're talking about building a relationship with a popular blogger who will hopefully talk about a product (and link to it).
As Everhart says below, yes, we usually do want a link out of this (or something else like visibility, social mentions, etc.). That doesn't mean that you should abandon all niceties and only pursue people for a link or a tweet of course, nor does it mean that you should take and never give back yourself. It's like a friendship, remember.
Selling this service is tricky, as you'll see from their answers. It's one of those "we know what is is and we know it's important but we can't tell you how much it will cost" kind of services.
Will we start to see relationship building agencies pop up? Many people are naturally very gifted at building a relationship but many aren't, so will those guys decide to outsource this as a proper service?
It's been said that we'll see people using better writers to write content so that they'll have a better Google+ profile, so I don't imagine this will be any different. After all, if you're online, you can be anyone you want, really. That prospect defeats the whole purpose of relationship building, but then again, much of what we do as online marketers gets abused.
What's the typical goal of relationship building?
EE: The goal is in the name itself: to build relationships. Of course I'm like every other SEO and say that I want a link out of it, but rarely do I go into it with that at the forefront of my mind because when I do, it just feels inauthentic. (Don't get me wrong: I do want the link.) So, my goal is to connect with a person and figure out how we could work together for the betterment of everyone involved: me, my client, their website, their readers, whoever.
JT: There are many goals such as building a long lasting partnership, increasing market share, targeting new customers, helping to drive business sales and drive business leads. However in terms of SEO, the typical goal is to increase online visibility of a website (or rankings) and also drive more traffic.
How can you measure its success?
EE: This is really tricky because there's no real quantifiable way to measure it. Sure you could take the domain authority of the site multiple by the linking root domains and divide it by the time spent on building that relationship, but let's be honest: that's ridiculous. We do keep a database of relationships we've built that we're able to go back to when we feel we have something they'd be interested in so my success is if I can feel comfortable adding them to that list.
JT: It depends what the KPIs are set by you and the client. If the KPI is to drive more traffic and you have done so, congratulations, you have met the objectives. However, we all know it is not as simple as that. Clients are still focusing on rankings and if you have not increased in rankings then you will fail to meet that KPI. Instead of focusing on what you can't control, work with the client to set KPIs which you can control such as traffic, referral traffic, increased customer base/members to a community.
Relationship building is a concept that's being widely applied to guest posts. How can we apply this same idea to other forms of link building?
EE: Broken link building is an obvious one for me. You're trying to make the web a better place and you're hoping to connect with other webmaster who want to do the same. Think about product reviews, giveaways, content marketing (that isn't guest blogging). It all ultimately boils down to the same thing: You want to connect with someone to figure out how to help people.
JT: I would look at the way partnerships and sponsorships are formed. It takes time to build a good partnership together. Working agency side, you may be working on one client looking to set up a partnership with a sporting event in the country. If you know one of your colleagues is also working with this partnership, you can complement it.
What are the key aspects of relationship building?
EE: They're the same aspects of what you'd want out of any personal relationship you have. Trust. Authenticity. Loyalty.
JT: Honesty, trust, transparency. All three are interlinked. It is important to be honest in any relationship, especially in the early stages. If there is no honesty, it is hard to build up trust. It is also important to be transparent so that from the beginning there are no secrets and the trust is build on a solid foundation.
How can we sell relationship building as a service to clients or management?
EE: It's not really a service: It's just the way that marketing and SEO is going. It's a philosophy. I would never put it as a line item in a statement of work or purchase order, but I would talk through the client what it actually means and why it's important. Why we believe in this above everything else.
JT: It can be hard to sell it in as a specific service as clients or management will be asking for a ROI and will want to set a key metric against it. However one way to sell in relationship building is that it forms part of the content marketing plan. In the content marketing plan you will explain that you are going to be engaging with key relevant partners in the field who will help to promote your brand. For example, if you are working with a local sports company, you may want to partner with a local charity who will be running the New York marathon. You could make co-branded t-shirts which would then be worn by runners. You could also have information on both websites about the sports/charity company and how you are raising money for a particular cause. Both companies could promote the event which would result in increased traffic and awareness to both sites.
What would you say to detractors who claim that the concept of relationship building is a bit too vague?
EE: How would you make a friend? That's how you build relationships. It's vague because there are literally dozens of way that you could approach it. You didn't become friends with everyone in the exact same way but there's one common theme in any friendship: common ground.
JT: I would say that it is a long-term strategy and should not be thought of as the same as turning off and on a PPC/display campaign (people sometimes compare SEO to PPC). I would tell detractors that over time relationship building will lead to attract more of the engaged customers who are loyal to the brand and in the end will stay with the product, tell their friends and may buy more or purchase the more expensive items as they trust the brand. Brands want loyal customers and who share their positive experience with the brand to others. These customers become brand advocates.
How can people best screw this up? What negative effects can a bad relationship have on a brand?
EE: You could screw it up just like you would screw up any friendship: by being a bad friend. Being disloyal. Being fake. Geez, take Applebee's and their recent chaos in social media. They tarnished some relationships there and I would wager they're paying for it in revenue because people just aren't eating at Applebee's anymore.
JT: People can screw this up by focusing too much on the result (e.g., driving traffic, sales, leads instead of working on building up the relationship). If they are not honest and open to begin with and are trying to just piggy back off the partners email list for example, then this will build up the relationship and they will be in a worse position than when they started. The brand as a result, will be seen in a poor light and therefore it will be harder to build up similar relationships with others in the same field.
Is getting links easier if you build these relationships through social methods?
EE: Absolutely. That's where a lot of relationships start. Shoot, that's where a lot of personal relationships start, too. (What's the exact stat on relationships that begin online?) Plus, everyone is so overwhelmed with email that you're more likely to get lost in the shuffle or mindlessly deleted on their quest for Inbox Zero.
JT: If you do not think about building the links then yes it may be easier. I think the fact that there is so much buzz around social means that everyone wants to get involved if they see a product/brand attracting attention online. Some people in the client's company may not understand 100 percent about how best to use the social channels but they will understand an increase in Twitter followers, Facebook fans, Google + and this is sometimes quicker to achieve than just trying to increase rankings.
How can you stand out from the crowd when you're building relationships, whether it's on social media, through email, or in person?
EE: Right now, I think it's pretty easy to do it because there's still a lot of just plain shady and bad link building tactics being used. So when you come around and you're real, it's a breath of fresh air to whoever it is you're talking to.
JT: I think you need to offer something different. Don't just copy what others are doing. Try to be creative, which I can appreciate, is easier said than done. Even though we live in a world of email and online, it is the personal touch that stands out. If you can, meet people in person, sometimes the tone of the message can get lost in email or can come across wrong. I have built a lot of relationships this past year through meeting people in person and then we have also communicated via email, Twitter, Facebook. I would never underestimate the value of face to face contact.
Be genuine, be unique, and be nice. Yes, it may be a lot of work at times, as this is a different process than sending 100 emails offering $50 for a link or filling out 9,000 contact us forms. However, what you gain from it should make it worth putting in that extra effort, and you'll also have the added plus of potential benefits in the future.

However, I once again find it necessary to seek quotes for insurance cover, as with a motor home also being a motor vehicle (any mechanically propelled vehicle intended or adapted for use on a road), it is a requirement in law, just as having narrowboat insurance is a requirement of the waterways licensing authority it is to be used on. I would suspect that most of us head blindly into the first insurance contract that happens to be the cheapest on offer, but I would suggest that a little more care be taken in reading as much of the small print within its schedule that you possibly can without the need of employing your own legal eagle at this early stage. (Although the mass market marine insurance policies that most leisure boaters buy are all much of a muchness, and as all marine insurance is - governed by the Marine Insurance Act of 1906).
For those who may be interested, here is the process I have just followed in order to insure our new motor home.
First, I checked all the on-line comparison websites. These produced a list of around 10 insurers willing to take on my business. The cheapest was £348 annually, and the most expensive was just under £1000. Scarily, there were 3 more at the end of the list who were unwilling to quote due to our postcode! None included a UK and European breakdown recovery service, which I have decided I would like to have.
Then I rang a single company, who is a well respected specialist in the field of motor home insurance. This time my enquiry was by 'phone, and their standard cover included a premium UK and European breakdown and recovery service. Their final annual premium, which also utilised a "mirrored" full no claims bonus that I have with my car, came in at £522.38. At the end of the process I was asked if I already had other quotes, so I gave them the cheapest one I had found plus their breakdown recovery. They immediately reduced their quote by £100 to match it.....Grrrrrrrrrr. This final quote included all sorts of introductory offers from here there and everywhere, and I suspect next year's quote would be through the roof.
To finish with, I rang the company who already provides my car insurance as well as our home insurance. They are well known for their no nonsense approach to elderly gits like me. (I bet you know who they are now don't you?) Their cover, which also includes unlimited size and weight in its own 3rd party provided premium breakdown recovery service, included a total final quote of £475.31. I think I will stick with the devil I know, and will arrange cover early next week to allow collection of "Le Randonneur", (French for "the hiker" for those who like to know these things).
You pays your money - and you takes your chance. Should it really be like that though in such a tightly regulated service?

(met.roh.SEK.shoo.ul) n. An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. —metrosexuality n.
The UrbanDictionary defines it as:
the kind of guy who paints his nails, wears flip-flops, owns a lot of shoes, takes an hour to do their hair etc. but is not really gay.
There are a lot of opinions on the definition of metrosexual. I haven't heard the term until today.
I'm glad to say I've never been one, even when I was single. It's a lifestyle I can't relate to.
(thanks, Ryan, former metrosexual?)

CREPE CITY issue 01
Sneakers. Collecting. Culture.
CREPE CITY is Europe's largest sneaker festival. With a dedicated following attending their every event in the UK, as well as an ever-growing online fan base that exceeds 300k, how could they expand further?
CREPE CITY Magazine serves a set of purposes – to take the CREPE CITY brand name beyond its current circles, to educate the current audience on the histories and stories behind the sneakers and brands they love, and to give brands a new means to market to that audience in a way that goes deeper and lasts longer than social media.
Through studying CREPE CITY as an event and community we distilled its core values of sneakers, collecting, and culture, placing them at the very heart of this project as the three sections of the magazine.
A new standard.
The sneaker world needed shaking up. Independent publishing is flourishing and bringing a new level of quality to magazines, especially in fashion and lifestyle. CREPE CITY Magazine brings those qualities to the sneaker community, setting a new standard in a market that hasn't seen substantial change in publishing for decades.
Designed for a modern reader.
The social media generation have a hunger for information and premium imagery. Instagram fulfils this hunger almost entirely on its own, but that doesn't mean that this generation are only interested in super short-form content via their mobile.
With our content being predominantly long-form, the design and layout of CREPE CITY Magazine had to be unthreatening without belittling its audience. Wise use of white space and larger type ensure that the reading experience is one of comfort, while spreading content over a substantial amount of pages ensured we positioned ourselves as far as possible from the usual cramped design of sneaker magazines that breeds a feeling of chaos.
We know that this audience enjoys long-form content. We also know that they don't want it to feel like a labour to read it.
A timeless reference tool.
One of our main priorities with CREPE CITY Magazine was to position it outside of the fast paced world of online news. To take advantage of the physicality and permanence of a well produced magazine we ensured the content is as interesting to read in 5 years as it is now.
Taking this concept a step further, we created Archive. Found at the heart of each issue, Archive shines a light on one collector's personal highlights from their own collection, displaying roughly 40 pairs in an encyclopaedic fashion. You'll find nothing but archival photography and key information in this homage to the geekiness of sneaker collecting.
The CREPE CITY audience has a passion for collecting sneakers and we wanted to ensure the magazine became a part of that passion for collecting.

Everybody needs structure—including the projects we work on. Nearly every infrastructure component in our world has some type of structural design component woven into it. Without structural design, pipes would break, bridges would fail and buildings would collapse. Spicer is proud to have an in-house group of structurally focused experts. Our Structural team is a unique group of professional engineers and designers who are depended on significantly throughout the company and by our clients. They work daily with many other groups and provide important structural advice and design solutions to everything from pump stations to bridges to seawalls. They calculate whether walls can be moved, if buildings can be demolished and how shipping docks can accommodate 1,000-foot-long ships. They design skeletal support systems for waterfront piers and concert stadiums and engineer 100-foot stacks for industrial clients. They truly are a structured group of individuals, and having them in-house adds value to our projects and minimizes our clients' costs by eliminating the need to sub this service out.
Spicer recently worked with Consumers Energy on a $21-million- project at the mouth of the Saginaw River that consisted of completely replacing an existing 3,000-foot-long shipping dock to accommodate fully loaded 1000-foot-long ships to moor and unload. Th e new dock was designed to both blend in with the natural aesthetics of Bay City and withstand the extremely harsh conditions of the Saginaw Bay that are common throughout the seasons. Th e new sheet pile sections that were installed are the largest manufactured in the world and were shipped to the site via barge and rail. Th e tie-back system used was designed using high-tension (250,000 pounds each) grouted anchors extending through 70 feet of soft clay and embedded 30 feet into hardpan/ sandstone. Spicer was responsible for completing the initial evaluation of the dock as well as the fi nal design for the new dock. Spicer also provided construction inspection assistance throughout the entire project. Th is project was presented with an engineering excellence award from the American Council of Engineering Companies for its unique and innovative engineering solutions.
Spicer Group assisted Oscoda Township by designing a new waterfront recreation and fishing pier on Lake Huron. The public can now enjoy the new 8-foot wide, 150-foot-long wooden boardwalk that leads to a 14-foot-wide, 320-foot long pier. Some of the amenities incorporated into the design were accessible fishing areas, new ADA benches as well as lighting that will give the pier identity in the evening hours. The pier creates a link between the existing Oscoda Beach Park Boardwalk and the Lake Huron waterfront. Funding for the project was provided through a DNR Trust Fund Grant with a local match.
In 2013, a new outdoor pavilion venue in downtown Saginaw was planned at the 2-acre site of a recently demolished shopping center. The $1.275 million outdoor pavilion was built in 2014 and holds 5,000 to 7,000 people for various types of events that include concerts, performances, festivals and special events.
Spicer Group assisted with the structural design and site engineering for the final design of the pavilion and bringing the project to construction-ready status. The pavilion was constructed almost entirely out of square-steel tubing. In total, nearly 900 pieces of steel, totaling 12,000 feet in length, were welded and bolted together to form a unique-looking 65-ton outdoor pavilion.
Spicer assisted with routing new electrical conduits, engineering a vendor access to the site and ensuring storm water was directed away from the area. A unique feature of the site design also includes the construction of slope seating, which simulates a bowl. This type of seating feature provides optimal site lines from all direction, giving attendees of any event the best possible viewing experience and enhances audio quality for visitors.
Built in 1906, the State Street Bridge spans the Cass River in Bridgeport. It is listed on the State Historic Register. According to MDOT, the structure is one of only six surviving late 19th century and early 20th century multi-span through-truss highway bridges left in the state. It is also one of two key surviving examples of Michigan bridges produced by the Joliet Bridge and Iron Company of Illinois.
Spicer Group, along with Bridgeport Charter Township leaders and a historic bridge preservationist, began work in 2006 to preserve the bridge. Spicer Group researched and wrote an MDOT-TE grant that was awarded for $2,148,160. Following receipt of the grant, Spicer Group worked with MDOT and the Township on design and construction plans. The bridge was removed from the foundation and rehabilitated offsite. In the summer of 2010, the restored bridge was put back into place. Spicer also helped construct a new guardrail for the bridge and developed the paths and landscaping that lead to the bridge's entry points and through the park beyond.
The Great Lakes Bay Regional Trail is a collaborative effort between Bay, Saginaw, and Midland Counties, several municipalities and many local interest groups to construct nearly 40 miles of new pathway and connect nearly 60 miles of existing multi-use trailways. To do this, two abandoned railroad bridges along the portion of the trail extending through Frankenlust Township in Bay County needed updating.
Besides being old, vandals had tried setting both the 207-foot-long and 322-foot long wooden trestle bridges on fire. Spicer structural engineers completed a structural analysis of both bridges, which had not been in use for many years. The inspection and evaluation identified that the structures were capable for re-use as non-motorized pedestrian use and the existing piers, abutments and most of the existing substructures were adequate. However, the decking had to be removed and segments of the substructure needed to be replaced.
The project was awarded the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Development Grant in the amount of $300,000. Spicer Group provided advisory planning services, final design, surveying, grant funding assistance, engineering evaluations/recommendations and construction administration needed to convert the bridges for safe pedestrian travel.
The Dixie Highway bridge in Saginaw County included complete demolition and reconstruction of the 265 foot long, 67-foot-wide, four-lane bridge over the Cass River. Prior to construction, the bridge dated back to 1931. This was the third bridge put into this location so the old foundations were still intact including a lot of buried concrete, making it more difficult to demolish. Spicer Group was originally hired by the Saginaw County Road Commission to do biannual bridge safety inspections. As a result of these inspections, Spicer Group recommended the bridge be replaced, which included both demolition and reconstruction.
In addition to design services, Spicer was responsible for providing survey and construction inspection services as well as the development of a HEC-RAS model and submittal of the hydraulic report to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality for compliance with the State's floodplain regulations.
The Fort Road bridge in Saginaw County was reconstructed during the summer of 2010. The project included the complete demolition and reconstruction of the bridge due to structural deficiencies. Spicer Group provided the inspection of the original bridge, conducted a road rating study and provided the design and inspection of the new bridge.
One of the ways it was improved was by reducing the number of spans from four spans to three. The two-lane bridge was also made wider, allowing engineers to make the bridge safer by adding an 8 foot sidewalk with a vehicular railing separating it from the road. Another way the bridge was upgraded was raising the elevation and making the road even with the nearby railroad tracks. Previously, there was a speed bump at the railroad tracks because the road was much lower, now it's raised and smooth.
In the middle of a harsh Michigan winter, the roof of stores at the Tanger Outlet Center, in West Branch collapsed. No one was injured, but before any of the stores at the outlet center could be occupied again, and demolition of the collapsed building could take place, a structural review of the shopping complex was necessary.
Spicer Group was hired to provide valuable structural engineering assistance for the project. Structural engineers inspected the original drawings, the collapsed portion of the building, and performed a structural inspection of the rest of the complex to ensure the safety of the occupants. It was determined that a portion of the collapsed building would have to be demolished, a temporary wall would be constructed, and the rest of the buildings were structurally sound and safe to occupy.
Without being able to determine where the structure had failed, and where it would be safe to begin the demolition, the entire network of businesses within that portion of Tanger Outlets could have had to be demolished, potentially costing the company millions.
Spicer Group was hired by the Yspilanti Community Utilities Authority to conduct an important structural investigation of a 123-year-old stone water tower located in the City of Ypsilanti. The tower is 147-feet-tall, has a capacity of 250,000 gallons and is made of unique Joliet stone which was quarried in Illinois and known for its yellow color. The tower is one of the most distinguished landmarks of Ypsilanti and known as a symbol of the community. In 1975 it was chosen as one of the few American Water Landmarks in the country by the American Water Works Association. It has also been designated a Historical Civil Engineering Landmark by the Michigan Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The Stone Tower was constructed by the City of Ypsilanti in 1889 and put in service in 1890. It brings value to the community not only in its use as an elevated water tower, but also as a historic landmark.
Spicer Group compiled a history of prior work performed on the tower, performed a structural condition inspection to serve as a baseline, assessed the structural safety of the tower, and recommend any required repairs. The stone tower was in good condition for its age. And at the conclusion of the inspection, Spicer Group's structural engineers determined the tower to be in structurally good condition. Suggestions for future repairs to fix localized areas where deterioration was starting were also made.
In downtown Saginaw, several historic buildings along South Washington Avenue near Genesee Avenue were slated for demolition. Neglect, vandalism, weather and time had all taken their toll on the four buildings that ran between 100 and 110 S. Washington, leaving them in a severe state of disrepair.
Spicer Group performed a structural and architectural review of the buildings and recommended that the entire block should be demolished because of their state of disrepair and the amount of money it would take to refurbish them – regardless of the building's historical significance. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing issues were cited, along with the need to restructure floor plans for life safety and accessibility code issues. Saginaw County used funds from a federal grant to begin the demolition work, with Spicer Group as a consultant on the project.
An investor was interested in keeping some of the buildings, so Spicer's structural department developed a plan to safely keep the 100 and 106 S. Washington buildings, while demolishing 108 and 110 S. Washington. A solution was engineered to brace the façade of 106 using high-strength steel threaded rods and brackets, tying the front façade of the building that had never been structurally connected, to the back. Those tie-ins are now a permanent part of the building. And after bracing work was complete, demolition continued and brick-by-brick the buildings that once stood at 108 and 110 S. Washington were taken down safely.
In the winter of 2008, the original pedestrian bridge that spanned the Shiawassee River at Cole Park in the Village of Chesaning was swept away and irreparably damaged by high flood waters and ice. To build a replacement bridge, the Village raised funds and also received a Trust Fund Grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Spicer Group was responsible for grant administration, along with the design, permitting and construction administration on this project. The new 141-foot- long pedestrian bridge connects the two portions of Cole Park on either side of the river. It is elevated on modified bridge abutments to raise it out of the reach of potential flood waters. The bridge is made out of reinforced steel and was pre-fabricated in two pieces before being shipped to the park, assembled and placed onto the abutments.
Spicer was hired by GM to design upgrades to the shipping dock at its Service Parts Operations plant to maximize the amount of heavy truck traffic entering the facility and create a larger and safer area for the semi trucks to unhook and hook up their trailers. Spicer designed a plan that removed an existing masonry wall and replaced it with a structural metal-framed and insulated metal sided wall with seven 30' by 17' openings complete with power doors. Spicer also provided structural modeling, traffic and circulation modeling and the development of a 3-D rendering that helped provide a better understanding of the design to GM officials.
Spicer Group has been chosen as a structural engineer for several Tri-Mer projects. Tri-Mer Corporation specializes in advanced air pollution control systems with a variety of uses and sizes. Utilizing RISA-3D software, Spicer Group has created three-dimensional finite element models of the pollution control systems, and load parameters were input into the model. Spicer Group engineers can then determine the structural adequacy of the control system structure and offer assistance in satisfying the design load requirements. Spicer Group has been chosen as a structural engineer for several Tri-Mer projects.
Originally built in 1868, the church located at 203 South Front Street in Chesaning added on a bell tower in the 1880's. When the bell tower was added on, no additional support beams were constructed to hold the weight of the tower. The building had otherwise been maintained well for the span of its life, even undergoing renovations in 2012, after Creative Passions business purchased the property.
On a windy afternoon in early April of 2016, large wooden rafters crashed to the floor inside a historic building. Less than 48 hours later, Spicer Group's structural experts were called in to complete an analysis on the structure using forensic engineering to determine the cause of the collapse.
The bell tower extended 12 feet above the center peak of the church building and provided a great amount of leverage that induced high stress on certain beams within the roof structure. On the day of the collapse in April, the wind was blowing north to west in the area, and wind loads generated from that are what caused the structure to fail.
Spicer not only provided the forensic engineering on the project, but also designed a building stabilization plan so construction crews could cleanup, remove the bell tower, and build in a tension cable assembly to ensure structure stabilization for the future.
In 2009, the Mt. Pleasant Regional Center for Developmental Disabilities shut its doors after more than 70 years in the community, leaving more than 20 buildings on the center's 300-acre property vacant. The property was owned by the State of Michigan and eventually given over to the City of Mt. Pleasant, who boarded up the buildings while waiting on a decision and funding for what to with this large piece of property just outside of downtown Mt. Pleasant. Eventually, the buildings were deemed unusable, suffering from age, weather, and vandalism, and the City moved towards making the property more developmental friendly by beginning demolition work and required environmental abatements with grant funding.
The City hired Spicer Group to assist with the planning, design, environmental and project management services related to removing the remaining buildings from the site. This included the demolition of hundreds of thousands of square feet of buildings that ranged in size from a 400-square-foot incinerator building to a 57,000-square-foot cottage housing, buried steam piping tunnels, asbestos, underground fuel tanks, electrical transformers, and radioactive material from an old dental lab. Everything on the site that could be an impediment to future development was removed.
The City of Mt. Pleasant was left with a clean, developable site that will add an additional land base to the City and give developers an opportunity to build without the prohibitive cost of demolition and abatement. Spicer also provided a GIS map of everything else left on the site to the City, which was incorporated into their GIS system.

Intel may already be facing strong competition from ARM in mobile gadgets sector, but it looks like soon the server market could be another battleground for the chip giant.
Marvell Technology Group has announced that it will start shipping multicore 40nm ARM processors for the server market before the end of 2010. The chips are expected to run with a version of Windows compatible with the ARM platform, but there will be a Linux option too.
The prospect of servers powered by ARM chips may bring a smile to the face of datacenter managers due to the potential for power and cost savings. For example, Marvell's Armada 310 chip can scale to 2.2GHz while using power rated in milliwatts, not watts. ARM chips are also much cheaper than the equivalent Intel Xeon server chips according to EETimes, but Marvell has admitted the server ARM chips will sell for a premium compared to those found in cellphones.
Simon Milner, vice president of Marvell's enterprise group, said:
We have on the road map quad-core symmetric multiprocressing enterprise ARM-based SoCs that will be here soon. There's a huge opportunity here because the market is x86 dominated and ARM can bring power consumption breakthroughs into this space.
We are on par [with the x86] in performance today and have a detailed road map that will really push performance up
Expect announcements on porting a server version of Microsoft Windows to ARM, and pricing to be made as we progress through 2010.
Read more at EETimes
Matthew's Opinion
ARM is already established as a low-power, high-performance chip designer with a dominance in the mobile sector. Pushing into the server market will just requires some validation that its chip designs can offer similar performance to Intel. If that is proven the rest of the pieces already seem to be in place. ARM chips are cheaper than Intel and use less power. If they also have Windows compatibility then there's no barriers left to entry are there?
If successful, Intel will be forced to respond so as not to see its market share eroded. That could mean lower pricing, new processor lines introduced sooner, or just better contracts for datacenters. We also need to consider this will have an impact on AMD.
As someone is working on Windows compatibility for ARM chips surely the next step is to push into the consumer desktop PC and laptop markets?

Creating space with no room
Spiritual books often recommend you have a dedicated space in your home for prayer/meditation. Most of these books are American, where land and space is much more plentiful than here in little England. I live in a two bedroomed mid terrace house with my husband and a scruffy, messy dog who steals anything at his height! Having a dedicated space which I can access whenever I want is not feasible.
I could set up a space next to the bed (in the half a meter between the bed and the wall), but I pray in the morning and at night and my husband gets up much later than I do. I could set it up in the office, but that feels wrong to me. The lounge? Well my husband may want the lounge or the office when I want to do my evening prayer and it seems rather selfish to tell him to stop what he is doing and clear out as I want to pray.
As such I tend to pray in three different rooms depending on the time of day and where he is.
So I have created my prayer bag. This contains:
- my prayer shawl
- Book of awakening
- Home made prayer beads
- Lighter for candle
- Bible
I commissioned the shawl from this lady, the whole process was delightful from start to finish. It is extra long, so I can coocoon myself while I'm praying. This creates a physical holding where ever I am, it reminds me that I am held by God.
A candle represents God and creates light (I do have a candle in all the spaces I pray in), it also means I can read my daily prayers in the mornings when I get up before dawn.
I use my prayer beads for different purposes depending on if it is the morning or evening prayer sessions.
The books uses are obvious!
The bag itself is beautiful and was made for me years ago by my sister in law, it means I don't have to juggle things as I walk up or down our precariously steep stairs and protects my things from Buster's hair and him stealing them and leaving teeth marks all over them.
It does mean that my prayer is associated with stuff, but I do find setting out my things at the start of a prayer session to be part of a ritual and help to ground me and focus me. It is hard to settle into prayer and this helps greatly. A combination of the physicality and the ritual helps to create a physical space for prayer even though the location changes.

Go Max Go
I tried some of Go Max Go's candy recently. They are super yummy! So I wanted you to have them on your radar.
Are you wondering why there's a photo of three dogs? Well, they are their inspiration! They're all rescues and they remind them of the fact that all animals deserve respect and that living vegan furthers that agenda. Isn't that great?
What does Go Max Go specialise in selling?
The best vegan candy bars...ever :)
Where are you based?
We're based in Santa Fe in New Mexico.
Do you exclusively serve those who are local to you or can others who are further away access your products too? If so, how?
Our products are found in many countries (US, Canada, UK, Germany, Australia etc) through retail outlets and online stores. We have a store locator map on our website.
What inspired you to create a business that solely focuses on plant-based candy bars?
We have been vegan for years and when we started Go Max Go there were no vegan candy bars that met our needs. We wanted familiar flavours, minus cruelty (dairy) and we didn't want any junk like hydrogenated oils and artificial flavourings.
How easy is it for you to source cruelty free ingredients for your products?
With a little research it's been very easy to source ingredients that are ethically produced as well as non GM.
Do these ingredients effect the outcome in comparison with non plant-based candy bars?
We think our candy bars taste better than those that contain animal by-products. We pretty much believe anything can be veganised without sacrificing a thing.
For someone who hasn't tasted your bars before & is indecisive about what to buy; is there a particularly popular one you can name?
They're all pretty popular but the Jokerz is number one. Lot's of people like the combo of peanuts, nougat, caramel and chocolate.
Are you owned by, or in partnership with, another company that does test on animals or sell non-vegan products?
Scott & I are the sole owners of Go Max Go Foods, no partners or involvement with any other company & we only do vegan!!
Tell me a bit about yourself before you launched Go Max Go
My partner, Scott and myself are both vegan and have been for 17 & 18 years respectively. We both went vegan for the animals and never looked back. Both of us liked the idea of having our own business so forming Go Max Go seemed like a natural union between our personal lifestyle and our professional goals.
What is your vision for the future of Go Max Go?
We're very in the moment with the company but our vision hasn't changed from day one. We've always wanted to use Go Max Go as a foundation to support groups that work very hard to bring awareness to issues that we care about i.e. animal rights and living veggie would be the top two issues!

Folder with flashing? after inserting new drive with adapter
Hello, then I boot from usb (High Sierra) Disk utility see my new drive without any issues, its able to run aid and format partitions and then i select install its take arround 20 minutes for it but after restart it try to restart from flash again, if I remove it - got folder with flashing ? - tryed R - its load from internet an image and run similar tool (but from el captain os) and this tool cant see my drive. Also I cant make it bootable even then boot from High Sierra. Any advice? Something to update perhaps on macbook?
drive is Samsung MZVPV256HDGL Link to ebay
adapter (link)
toolset used (link)
Es esta una buena pregunta?
Hi Kvark LT, try checking your Samsung MZVPV256HDGL with apple diagnostic tool first, you may also perform extended test to your computer.
Let us know the results.
Thanks Dan, ITs new and its working 100% - question is that I need to change in configuration (new macbook user :)) to make it start from this disk. Then I boot from Hight Sierra usb flash - disk is visible and disk tool dont have any complains. I am windows user, its sounds for me like i should mark partition to be bootable? But not sure how to do that in macos
Th installer would have set the internal drive as the boot. If it didn't or couldn't then you'll need to start the system without the external and press and hold the option key to get the boot manager to then select the internal drive. Once you're running go into prefs and alter the startup disk setting. That should fix that. If not the adapter is bad.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: open
Even though we firmly believe IE6 must die, it's not going away any time soon. Now, however, Google has come up with a creative way to improve the experience of Internet Explorer users, without making them actually upgrade or switch to another browser.
[edited by: incrediBILL at 11:34 pm (utc) on Sep. 22, 2009]
[edit reason] removed repeating words [/edit]
$ua = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if( strstr($ua,"MSIE 6.0" ) ) {
echo "You need to upgrade Internet Explorer 6 to use all the functions of this website.
";
echo "Download either Chrome Frame or ";
echo "Internet Explorer 7 to improve your internet access.
";
To apply that to every page on your site, including static .html, do the following.
Save my code snippet above to a file "killie6.php" and place it in your http root for your domain, such as httpdocs.
Now add the following into your .htaccess file:
# php directives
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
php_value auto_prepend_file "/server/path/to/file/killie6.php"
# end of PHP directives
It's that easy, now every IE 6 visitor is getting the message.
Never understood what was so bad about IE6
Try make it render standards compliant CSS (any version), you'll get it fast enough: it sucks like nothing else out there. There are so many bugs in it that never got fixed that there are websites dedicated to documenting them, most even have names such as "guillotine bug", "3px jog", "double margin", ... reverse engineering has been done to try to understand how it works and define states for elements such as "hasLayout" in understanding why the rendering of it is so borked.
I think that between writing up a new CSS layout from scratch and getting it to work properly in all versions of IE the amount of work for IE alone (after it's done for all other browsers) is still more than to get it standards compliant, esp if you run into one of those bugs you didn't know before it can easily becoem a nightmare.
IE8 finally fixed the CSS2.1 compliance, but unfortunately Microsoft went too far and intentionally broke it so it would choke on the new CSS3 selectors.
SVG support: well Microsoft failed to make VML a standard but still seems to think they can win after all by not supporting the standard and sticking to their "failed as a standard" solution.
SVG is vector graphics that we could embed or use as images. need a pie chart: no need for jog, gif or anything, just the data and be done with it. SVG can even be styled with CSS.
IE6, 7 and 8 has been and will be what's holding back development and progress in the webmaster world for many more years to come.
So any move to minimize that is very welcome. Thanks GOOG!
[edited by: swa66 at 2:07 pm (utc) on Sep. 23, 2009]
Never understood what was so bad about IE6 - I'm a firefox user by default but if I need to view a site in IE I use IE6.
Then you're unaware that your sites most likely look totally different in IE7 and IE8?
I was jumping for joy about 4 months ago when google analytics reported that the percentage of visitors using IE6 to view the main site that I handle had dropped to below 5%, I was just preparing to phase out coding for it when it jumped back up to 18% and has stayed there ever since.
-- Oddly, it took a while to find an example of the UA string and then it was only in a self-tester's blog entry. In short, "chromeframe" should appear akin to how it does in the following example (emphasis mine):
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; chromeframe; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; MS-RTC LM 8)
-- Here's the "Google Chrome Frame: Developers Guide [code.google.com]."
Regarding the Dev doc's contents... Google, are you high? Sorry, but I'm neither going to add a meta http-equiv nor a sniffer script atop hundreds of thousands of pages/posts just to accommodate GCF.
Offering them links to Firefox, Chrome, and Opera would be friendlier and much more useful than suggesting an upgrade they cannot do.
From my understanding it updates the User-Agent to let people know its available. How do I determine if its actually being used or not?
How would you classify this Google Chrome Frame in relation to browser detection?
For example in Asp.Net it would currently be returning IE X.X version. Should it instead be returning Chrome?
Or should I create a custom property listing the Rendering Engines available? AKA Trident/webkit?
For example in Asp.Net it would currently be returning IE X.X version. Should it instead be returning Chrome?
All it does is add "chromeframe" into the standard MSIE user agent to advertise to the website that Chrome is available for use.
So the sad part is that if everyone with MSIE 6 added Chrome Frame to their browser all our old analytics programs would still just report it as MSIE 6 even though technically the browser could be almost extinct, we would never know for sure.
Using the auto_prepend in PHP lets you essentially change those documents without changing the static HTML files, so if can be done in 5 minutes.
The document won't validate of course because you'll now have text above your HTML tag, but I guess Bill has other priorities.
I know I sound like a broken record on this, but...
Since Chrome has the absolute worst, unconscionably bad, security on saved passwords (saved unencrypted in a plain text file), I regard it as a much bigger threat to the average user's security than IE8 by a long shot. If you foolishly let Chrome save login info for your bank and credit card and so forth, and your laptop gets stolen by someone who has a clue, you are SCREWED.
So frankly, I don't see embedding Chrome inside IE as a step forward in any way, shape or form.
Yes, of course, you should have some other, more secure means of managing passwords, but remember, we're talking about something targeted at users who can't or won't switch from IE6. They're not likely to think about whether or not that "save username and password" thing is encrypts the data or not.
The document won't validate of course because you'll now have text above your HTML tag, but I guess Bill has other priorities.
I could've written a full solution to read the HTML requested, insert the code in the proper location, and spit it out complete but my purpose was to give a quick and dirty example of possible implementation methods, not a turnkey solution.
Besides, if it's IE 6 it'll render garbage out of order in the wrong location of the page anyway, I think that's part of the point here ;)
Google's plug-in is an interesting thing and I hope it helps.
During "that" era, the standards compliant browser was Netscape 4. IE3 broke the web, and subsequent generations have only marginally improved on its handling of syntactically and functionally correct web content - often breaking in new, unexpected places.
Internet Explorer 6 was released on August 27, 2001 - it's been a decade of horror. Let's put that ugly puppy to sleep once and for all.
Netscape 4 introduced the horrendous JSSS. They did try to make that a web standard. Fortunately for all concerned, they failed.
IE4 introduced DHTML, which included innerHTML, offset properties etc.
IE5 introduced XMLHttpRequest.
IE5 Mac was the first browser with "full" CSS1 support, and introduced doctype switching.
Microsoft *are* responsible for a lot of the web features we now take for granted. But they've also undoubtedly held back open web standards too, since IE6. Chrome Frame could prompt Microsoft to step up their standards support.
Ah, a sober voice on the subject.
>Chrome Frame could prompt Microsoft to step up their standards support.
Well, I hope so too.
But the problem goes deeper. It's the length of the product development cycle. MSFT says it's just too complicated and expensive to ship a browser with a lot of new features to a half billion customers on as frequent a schedule as most of us would like. And, I think, the word "customers" is key - not "users" - MSFT deals with paying customers. With IE being a key part of Windows, there's a very high level of responsibility and accountability involved that no other browser maker need take into account.
Firefox not working for you? Use Chrome. Chrome giving problems? Try Opera. IE not working? Call tech support! Call Dell! Call Microsoft!
Right now, I've got Firefox 3, 3.5 and a special trunk build of FF called Minefield installed on my main XP machine. I choose one or the other using Firefox's profiles feature.
For weeks now, I've gotten nag boxes when using FF 3 that strongly encouraged me to upgrade to 3.5. (Apparently they don't sniff around thoroughly enough to detect the install of 3.5 that's already there.)
Now, it was not until yesterday that the last of the add-ons that I rely on was working with 3.5. But yet, Mozilla ham-fistedly nagged me towards a situation which would have completely fouled me up. Big time. I'm sure it's screwed up many FF users who, mistakenly, thought their add-ons would seamlessly migrate to the new version, unaware that there's always a lag and that, sometimes, the add-ons are NEVER upgraded to the new version.
Taking an approach like that with IE would be highly irresponsible. IMHO.
For what? The canvas tag and rounded corners?
You see, it didn't matter that IE6 had bugs. Or that it rendered things wrongly according to the, by then, published standards.
It did matter. They were putting something in place that was going to cause problems and hold back development / progress for years to come.
MS could get away with that attitude 10 years ago with a 90% market share – an antisocial approach towards open standards was only a problem for *everyone else*.
With the benefit of hindsight we can see how destructive Microsoft's antisocial attitude has been, and yet they still continue to drag their feet with regards to CSS3 and open standards. IE will be dragged kicking and screaming through every major change for ever. Today we talk about wanting IE6x dead, and in 10 years we'll be talking about wanting IE7, 8 and 9 dead too.
The Chrome Frame goes a little way to making the lives of IE6x users that are stuck for the time being with an ugly dinosaur, a little easier. I like that.
IE will be dragged kicking and screaming through every major change for ever.
I think that's right, and part of the reason why Google is developing Chrome Frame and Chrome. I don't think Chrome Frame is aimed at users, though it will be useful to some. I think it's main purpose is to scare the bejesus out of Microsoft, just like Chrome 1.0 did a year ago.
Microsoft have, at last, started giving some feedback on HTML5. It's only taken them 5 years to start contributing...
You don't cite any facts to support this but even if you did, speculating about motives is almost always counter-productive and non-illuminating. The refuge of the unpersuasive.
Does that mean the folks from MSFT aren't any fun at parties?
>The web is whatever browser the user has.
Interesting comment. The browser is a window on "the web" and to an extent defines the limits of what we can see and how we see it. I think that's why Google picked an iris as the Chrome logo. (At least it looks like an iris to me.)
You don't cite any facts to support this
Where have you been for the last 15 years? I assumed most of it went without saying. Seriously. How about getting sued by the United States Department of Justice (1998), or getting spanked for $1.35bil by the EU (2008). Those are just 2 tiny hints that you might not be playing well with others.
If it helps, read antisocial as anticompetitive. Ultimately it's the consumer that suffers, and I'd call being stuck with IE6 in 2009 as suffering ;)

India is a large country with multitude of cultures, numerous languages and dialects, diverse geography, climate and religions. This land appears mysterious and spiritual to most people. The amalgamation of its diversities and its rich history attracts millions of people from around the world.
The element of diversity can be found in many layers of the Indian society. Here wealth exists amid abject poverty, highest level of education along with illiteracy and rationality amid irrationality or superstition. The abundance of variances within India is enough to bewilder anyone.

Die Casting Molds:
Die Casting Products:
Casting process:
Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process.
Sand casting, also known as sand molded casting, is a metal casting process characterized by using sand as the mold material.
It is relatively cheap and sufficiently refractory even for steel foundry use. A suitable bonding agent (usually clay) is mixed or occurs with the sand. The mixture is moistened with water to develop strength and plasticity of the clay and to make the aggregate suitable for molding. The term "sand casting" can also refer to a casting produced via the sand casting process.

How To Love Your Enemy With Laura Pintur
Surrender Australia
Laura Pintur shares her thoughts on how to love those who against you, those you might not agree, those you might say are enemies. Laura reminds us of God's call to love our enemies and provides practical ways for us to lovingly engage with our enemies.
Laura is sharing at SURRENDER 16, to find our more about our annual conference and to hear from Laura this March, visit our conference page.
Laura is a passionate advocate and speaker against the objectification of women and girls and sexualisation of young people in today's culture. She confidently exposes the rise of pornography and the ramifications on society. In early 2015 she began the Zoo campaign, actively engaging with the public to have the lads mag removed from supermarket shelves which successfully saw the closure of the magazine completely. Laura currently travels around Australia speaking to young high school students with Collective Shout founder Melinda Tankard Reist about the increasingly problematic sexualisation of young people. She has recently appeared on ABC2 TV as a panel guest for the live TV discussion 'Australians and porn'.

Re: Beautiful pictures of Christmas trees - Add your own tre
The Christmas tree is a decorated evergreen coniferous tree, real or artificial, and a tradition associated with the celebration of Christmas, or originally Yule. The Christmas tree is often brought into a home, but can also be used in the open, and can be decorated with Christmas lights (originally candles), ornaments, garlands and tinsel during the days around Christmas. An angel or star is often placed at the top of the tree, representing the host of angels or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity. The tradition of decorating an evergreen tree at Christmas started in Germany in the 16th century.

From the moment the first young shoots push their way up through the earth in early spring, I am watching its growth daily, and waiting for the buds on this captivating plant to form. The anticipation is part of the pleasure of P. mlokosewitschii (also known as 'Molly the Witch') … the primrose yellow, bowl-shaped flowers have a central mass of golden yellow stamens which are a magnet for bees, and the flowers themselves are set off to perfection by the glaucous blue-green foliage.
This beautiful species is one of the first to flower, and sadly the flowers are very fleeting indeed … barely a week … but when I first saw it in my mother's garden I was spellbound. After she died, her bungalow was sold and as I walked round her garden for the last time (early spring four years ago), I spotted the large clump of emerging foliage and grabbed a spade. Time and time again you read that autumn is the best time for dividing paeonies but I had no choice and my spade was sharp; what's more I wasn't dividing, I was lifting a piece! One swift downward strike and the job was done. Within a couple of hours I had it safely ensconced in its new home … it hardly realised what had happened!
Eventual height is 80-90 cms and it grows happily in sun or partial shade.

It's our annual Snowdrop Weekend this weekend on the 16th & 17th February so here's some snowdrop facts!
1. There are 19 types of snowdrop!
Though you are likely to find only three varieties in your own garden.
2.They have Christian significance.
Often blooming in February or March the flower is often associated with the Feast of Purification also known as Candlemas which although now falls in early February was later according to the Julian Calendar.
3. They are not native to Britain!
The snowdrop's origins come from Southern Europe and Asia Minor. Gilbert White himself living in Selborne in the Eighteenth Century would have likely only recognised the Galanthus Nivalis which is thought to have been brought over during the Crusades of the Middle Ages. Other species were brought over and made popular in the Nineteenth Century by soldiers returning from the Crimean War and by plants man Henry John Elwes who arranged the G. Elwisii species to be imported from Turkey in 1874 and now is seen growing in our gardens and woodlands.
4. There is a Selborne Snowdrop!
Selborne has several fine drifts of the native or common snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) and the Crimean Snowdrop (Galanthus plicatus). However we are now trying to establish a colony of Selborne's very own Galanthus elwesii 'Selborne Green Tips'. This was first discovered in Selborne in 1982 by well-known galanthophiles Ruby and David Baker. This snowdrop has two excellent qualities: it is early flowering, and it can produce two flowers on a single stem. It has fine green markings on the tips of the white outer segments and V-shaped green markings with a broad green bar above on the white inner segments.'
If you want to learn more about these beautiful flowers come and visit us this weekend!
