Thank You to Our Platinum Investors
Our mission is to strengthen, support and promote the economic vitality of our member businesses and the community of Superior.
When you are a local business owner and a part of a small community with a low budget, limited resources and an endless to-do list; you have to be strategic with how you invest the limited marketing dollars. The best investment I made was joining the Superior Chamber in September 2015. In just one year of joining the chamber and spending hours in the community at chamber related events, my business has doubled in revenue.
There are no adequate words to say just what an amazing resource Superior's Chamber is to local small business owners as well as to our community. The hard work and dedication of the Chamber's staff leads to opportunities for networking and business growth, as well as access to tools and information to help support small business owners. The events run by the chamber – from networking events including those with bordering towns, to community events for residents – are so well organized, advertised, and attended. The Superior Chamber of Commerce is one of the strongest pillars of our community, and I'm personally grateful for all that they do.

Teacher at Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary Receives $100 OfficeMax Gift Card Award
Davis Law Group, P.S., a Seattle-based law firm, in partnership with OfficeMax, is pleased to announce that Melora Rouse is a recipient of the Davis Law Group School Supplies Gift Program. Mrs. Rouse is a 4th grade teacher at Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary School.
Mrs. Rouse was nominated for this award by Deb Zimmerman, a student's parent. She describes her as being a very caring and innovative teacher.
"Mrs. Rouse goes out of her way to think of ways for the kids to grasp the concepts they are working on," Zimmerman said.
Mrs. Rouse is known for teaching her students life skills in fun and new ways. An example of this includes teaching math through baking. Therefore, it is exciting for the children to learn math but they are also learning the basics of baking.
She spends at least $500 each year on supplies for her classroom. Mrs. Rouse will use the $100 award toward more fun and innovative lesson plans.
Davis Law Group is honored to award Mrs. Rouse with an award to pursue her out-of-the-box teaching style.
Attorney Chris Davis and his wife started a program to help public school teachers get extra classroom supplies without having to spend their own money. The Davis Law Group School Supplies Gift Program gives a $100 OfficeMax gift card each week to a deserving Washington State Public school teacher and his/her class. Anyone can nominate a teacher for this program, teachers, and students, parents, and administrators.

EPSON NSX wins its first Pole Position of the season!
The qualifying for the FUJI GT 300km Race, Round 7 of the 2009 AUTOBACS SUPER GT, took place at Fuji Speedway (one lap 4.563km) in Shizuoka Pref. on Sept. 12. In the GT500 class the pole position was won by the EPSON NSX driven by Loic Duval, giving it the right to start from the front position in the race on the 13th.
Rain had been falling since morning and the track was wet when the practice session started at 9:05. Rain was still falling off and on when the afternoon qualifying sessions began, making the track conditions difficult and causing headaches for the teams as they tried to make the right tire choices and machine set-up.
The slippery track was causing a lot of slipping and many of the cars were spinning out on the curves. Through it all, however, Loic in EPSON NSX showed excellent machine control. On his first time attack he managed a 1 min. 45.842 sec. lap that qualified him fastest for the ensuing Super Lap (run by the top eight qualifiers one machine at a time to decide the grid positions). In that Super Lap he again ran the fastest time of the eight competitors with a 1 min. 46.111 sec. lap to win the pole position.
For Duval and for the team, this was their first PP of the season. It was also the first PP of the season for a Honda NSX machine.
In the GT300 class, the triple a GALLARDO RG-3 driven by Yuya Sakamoto recorded a time of 1 min. 56.623 in the Super Lap to become top qualifier in class for the first time. This was Sakamoto's first class pole position and also the first for the Lamborghini Gallardo in SUPER GT competition.
+Pole position winner comments
No. 32 EPSON NSX [GT500]
Loic Duval: "I feel great. This has been a tough season for us, but today the car's balance was good and everyone on the team worked hard. I feel that this pole position is the fruit of everyone's hard work over the past year. In the past I have made mistakes at the first corner here on the Fuji course, so I took it carefully over the first half in the Super Lap and then was able to run very well in the second half. I still have no idea how things are going to go in tomorrow's race. If it rain, it will be to our advantage. It may be a race full of surprises."
Yuki Nakayama: "Loic-san just clinched the Formula Nippon title the other day, so I thought he would do a good job for us today. While I was driving in the morning practice the rain started falling harder and there was trouble with the windshield wipers. Nonetheless, the machine balance was good and I was able to run at a fast pace. My job tomorrow will be to drive with no mistakes. We haven't yet decided who will be driving the first stint tomorrow, but I will just be building my concentration in preparation."
No. 88 triple a GALLARDO RG-3
Yuya Sakamoto: "We had a hard time deciding on what tires to use, but since our team is running two Gallardo machines we were able to compare data and make the best choice. I was sure that we could do well in either wet or dry conditions, so I was fairly confident throughout the qualifying. Still, I am very pleased with this Pole Position result. The No. 33 Porsche is also very fast in the rain and, to tell you the truth, I thought the pole would go to them. But as I was watching the action on the monitor, I saw Masami (Kageyama in No. 33) make a mistake and that convinced me we had a chance for the PP. And we actually got it (laughs)! I'm really happy. I have confidence that we can do well in the race even if the track is dry, unlike today. Masuda has set up the machine well for us, so all I have to do is concentrate on driving well."
Hideshi Matsuda: "I have been driving together with Sakamoto since last year and I know that he is very good at responding to changing conditions, so I didn't worry when the conditions got difficult today. For this race we have made some big changes in the suspension and the results of that have brought the machine balance together quite well. Tomorrow we just have to run like we did today, even if the track is dry. The team is working very well together too. All we have to do now is to keep this momentum going and reach for the next level."

Stepping out from canned or frozen vegetables, try Best Veggies 5 Ways – some different ways to serve up a variety of vegetables, all at one meal or separately. Let's see: there are 2 grilled vegetables, Eggplant and Fennel, Squash Fries and Easiest Meatless Meal done in the oven and then cooked on the stovetop Sweet Maple Green Beans,which makes me think of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
All the recipes in Best Veggies 5 Ways are quite simple. The Grilled Eggplant comes with a oil/herb blend that is used to brush on the pieces before grilled and could certainly be varied or used as is for other grilled vegetables. I think I may even try it with fish or chicken.
Salt the eggplant first, just lightly, then pat dry with a
clean cloth towel or some paper toweling. Sometimes I put it in a colander to
drain but the juices are good, too, so you may want to keep them if you can use them in something else you are cooking.
So let's start! Here's the first of Best Veggies 5 Ways:
Simple Grilled Fennel
Fennel has a very distinct licorice flavor and when it's grilled becomes a tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience you don't want to miss.
Olive oil
1. Trim the tops off the fennel. (The stringy parts can be used as an herb in your cooking, but aren't needed for this recipe. You can even use the stalks in place of celery in some recipes, but realize they'll have a much stronger flavor than celery)
2. Trim the bottom of the bulb and then cut the remaining bulb lengthwise into quarters.
3. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Place on grill at medium heat to sear the fennel.
5. Move to indirect heat, with the cut side up, and cook covered for about 45 minutes or until fennel is very soft. You can tell when it's done by texture, rather than time. You definitely want to make sure it's tender.
Grilled Eggplant with Fresh Herbs
Fresh herbs are best with this recipe, but if you don't have any on hand, you can certainly use their dried counterparts. Just use a pinch of each herb if you're using dried.
1 eggplant
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh thyme, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh oregano, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
1. Cut the eggplant into slices and salt them lightly. Let them sit for about 15 minutes, so the salt can bring out the moisture of the pieces. Wipe them dry with a bit of paper towel or clean cloth.
2. Meanwhile, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic herbs, salt and pepper. Let sit to absorb the flavors for about 15 minutes.
3. Brush eggplant with oil and herb mixture all over, ensuring that the herbs get distributed well.
4. Place on a lightly greased grill and grill for about 15-20 minutes, flipping half way through.
Mix the herbs with olive oil and garlic.
Then let the flavors blend for about 15 minutes.
Oven-Baked Summer Squash Fries
A summer squash has a strong resemblance, in flavor and texture, to a zucchini. You can, in fact, substitute zucchini in this recipe, but it will probably bake a bit more quickly.
1 medium summer squash
2 eggs
1 ½ cups breadcrumbs (try panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon mustard power
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Grease a large baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
3. Cut your summer squash into wedges. Remove the seeds if they are quite large and set wedges aside.
4. Whisk the eggs in a dish and set aside.
5. In another dish, combine the bread crumbs, paprika, mustard powder and salt and pepper.
6. Start by dipping the wedges, one by one, into the egg mixture and then the bread crumb mixture. Place each wedge on the greased baking sheet, slightly apart. Continue until all the wedges are done.
7. You can bake the wedges as is for about 30-40 minutes (until soft inside and golden brown on the outside) but if you want a more golden texture, drizzle or spray some olive oil on top of the wedges. Flip half way through baking.
Serve with ranch or another favorite dip.
Sweet Maple Green Beans
If you're being good and eating your green beans, you may as well make a treat of them. These beans sautéed in butter and maple syrup are tender, sweet and delicious. Perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners.
Alyssa suggests adding chopped onion and bacon bits and we might just do that for Thanksgiving! I can see cranberries (fresh or dried) adding a touch of color for fun and tartness to counteract the sweetness and I'm starting to wonder about some toasted pecans, sliced almonds or walnuts. You can see the problems we run into when we cook! Maybe you like to cook that way, too!
2 cups green beans
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons maple syrup
Salt and pepper
1. Steam green beans until softened.
2. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat.
3. Add the maple syrup and green beans saute for a few minutes.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

We just got back yesterday afternoon from our annual Memorial Day trip "up north" to the family cabins, a trip that regularly coincides with Joy's birthday. I've just changed the "Introducing Joy" sidebar to reflect her new age. Eight. Hardly seems possible -- eight years old!
We celebrated with balloons and bubbles and little cupcakes in the cabin. We'll have further celebrations at home, and shopping for a big-girl birthday bike as soon as we get our post-holiday act together to do so.

USGS and the American Ground Water Trust Expand Teacher Institute Program
In January 2005, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the American Ground Water Trust (AGWT) established a formal partnership through a technical agreement to advance the public's understanding of the issues and science relating to water resources. The initial effort will concentrate on expanding the American Ground Water Trust's "Ground Water Institute for Teachers" program, which focuses on educating teachers about ground water and hydrology. The goal is to offer one workshop in each State every year. USGS hydrologist Ann Tihansky and AGWT director Andrew Stone coordinated efforts with Robert Ridky, USGS National Education Coordinator, and Lisa Robbins, director of the USGS St. Petersburg Science Center in St. Petersburg, FL (a unit of the USGS Florida Integrated Science Center), to define a partnership that will further science education.
For the past 5 years, the AGWT has introduced ground-water concepts, ongoing research techniques, and resource-management issues to 790 teachers at 31 institutes in 17 States. The USGS has helped run many of these institutes. Now, with formalization of the partnership, several goals have been established, including expansion of the program so that at least one institute is offered in each State every year in conjunction with the use of USGS ground-water experts across the Nation to enhance public understanding of ground-water issues and research. The expansion may also include workshops for tribal partners and other entities that would benefit from similar educational programs. Ridky said of the partnership, "It's an exemplary initiative because it effectively integrates education and research and links, in a meaningful way, with our professional associates."
The USGS will be a highly visible partner in the nationwide 2-day training workshops. USGS involvement with AGWT in developing the teacher-institute programs will serve to deliver a consistent science message nationwide and will connect teachers to locally relevant science programs conducted at the Federal level. All institute participants will receive a package of USGS educational materials and publications that highlight the latest science and research technologies used to address relevant water-resource issues and management practices. Local USGS scientists will be part of each program in several ways: leading field trips, presenting research, assisting in planning, and providing materials.
The first of the 2005 institutes will be held at the USGS office in St. Petersburg on June 9 and 10. Other institutes are planned for the two other main USGS Florida Integrated Science Center offices in Miami and Gainesville, and at nine other locations throughout the United States, including Fresno, CA, Branchville, NJ, Denver, CO, Lowell, MA, Allentown, PA, San Antonio, TX, and Claremont, CA.For more information about the Ground Water Institute for Teachers, visit URL http://www.agwt.org/teachers/Institutehome.htm, or contact

The biggest Christian bookstore chain, Family Christian Stores, is going out of business. Then again, mostly what it carried was Christian knick-knacks.
As for books, the top 20 Christian bestsellers last year included, the words of one observer, "three versions of Sarah Young's controversial Jesus Calling, two kids joke books, two adult coloring books, titles by HGTV stars and athletes, and, of course, the latest from Joel Osteen."
Better Christian books are still selling, largely on Amazon, but they often aren't even carried by Christian retailers.
Then again, all brick and mortar bookstores are having a rough time. Having put small mom and pop shops out of business, the big chains are now struggling against online sales. Borders is gone, and Barnes & Noble is having a rough time, kept alive mainly by its own online offerings.
I regret the closing of bookstores. There are still some excellent Christian bookstores, such as Wichita's Eighth Day Bookstore (which also sells books online). But Christians and the general public are still reading, helped too by Kindle and other readers that can download books instantly.
An article in Christianity Today, linked after the jump. argues that the end of Christian Retail that trades mostly in "Jesus junk" is not necessarily a bad thing.
From Kate Shellnut, Farewell, Jesus Junk? Christian Retail Finds a Deeper Purpose | Christianity Today:
At the start of this year, author Jared C. Wilson tweeted a list of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association's 100 best-selling books of 2016. Among the titles in the top 20: three versions of Sarah Young's controversial Jesus Calling, two kids joke books, two adult coloring books, titles by HGTV stars and athletes, and, of course, the latest from Joel Osteen.
Wilson called the rankings "proof American evangelicalism traffics mainly in superficiality, sentimentalism, and superstition." Hundreds of fellow evangelicals chimed in to speculate about the list and point fingers at the church, the shoppers, and the stores selling these titles—as well as offer suggestions for better books out there.
When America's biggest Christian chain, Family Christian Stores, announced last month that it would be shutting its doors, a small number of Christian bookstore cynics brought up similar critiques over the shallower content its stores promoted alongside Bibles and Christian classics. The speculated silver lining: Did Family Christian's closure mean consumers were turning away from the celebrity books, inspirational titles, and "Jesus junk"?

Booking With Us
If you've never rented a motorhome before, the process can be a little scary. As well as working out how this home on wheels works, you'll need to get to grips with how renting works. After you choose the right motorhome, there's navigating rates, deposits and bonds, fees and charges, as well as terms and conditions. It can all be a little overwhelming. And then there's the worry about maximising your hard earned dollars.
When you book a Wilderness motorhome, we promise that you'll get a lot more than what you pay for. You're not just renting a motorhome, you're booking the New Zealand holiday that you've always dreamed of. That's why you can be confident that your Wilderness experience - right from the moment you press the Book Now button until you farewell the Wilderness family at the end of your holiday - will be so delightful that you will treasure the memories forever. And that's a promise we stand by.
Fees and Charges
One of the ways we're different from most other motorhome rental companies is our pricing is simple and transparent. We have tried where possible to combine all the fees and charges you are likely to need to pay into the daily rental rate.
That's why the daily rental rate includes unlimited kilometres, comprehensive insurance (excess/ deductible applies), airport transfers, linen and bedding, cutlery, crockery, and other kitchen equipment, full gas bottle (needs to be returned full), touring assistance, a New Zealand SIM card (if required), taxes, and a free downloadable PDF copy of Scott Cook's NZ Frenzy guide books.
We also want to give you choices. You have a couple of options for reducing your liability should the motorhome be damaged and you can add extras and accessories such as camping table and chairs, child seats, GPS, ferry tickets, wifi, and much more. Or you can select our VIP package which includes almost all the extras for a great price.
You'll be pleased to know we are one of the few motorhome companies who don't take a cash bond or freeze funds on your credit card when you collect your motorhome. Only in the unfortunate case of an incident will the bond be deducted from your credit card. See our terms and conditions for more information.
Road User Charge
We work hard to keep our motorhome rental rates as fair as we can. If you're planning to travel short distances, you don't want to pay the same as someone who is going to clock up big miles. So we've taken the government tax on diesel vehicles (Road User Charge) out of our standard rates. Our Road User Charge Recovery Fee is based on actual kilometres travelled on hire so you only pay for what you use.
A Road User Charge Recovery Fee is payable at the end of your hire unless you have opted for Maxi Cover or VIP insurance option, in which case the fee is included. Anyone using New Zealand roads is expected to contribute to their upkeep, by way of fuel levies or road user charges. Road User charges are a government tax, which is payable on all diesel vehicles in New Zealand.
- For all motorhomes $7.00 (per 100kms)
Checking Availability
From time to time, demand for our rental motorhomes is particularly strong so not all models may be available for your preferred dates. First check our Book Now tool. If the motorhome you prefer shows On Request : Enquire this means we may or may not have any left. Just click Enquire, enter your details, and submit the request form. One of our reservations team will get back to you within 12 hours. If we can't supply your first choice, we are committed to finding you an alternative.
So You're Ready to Book
We've designed our booking system to be hassle free – just like our motorhomes. You can instantly check availability then make your booking via our online reservation system and use our secure online payment service for your deposit. Because our reservation system is real time, you can book and pay while we're sleeping.

Houston Freeberg
Part of his extensive collection makes a stop at the Toledo Museum of Art to pay homage to the psychedelic '60s
In 1968, Houston Freeburg became addicted. He just didn't know it at the time. His compulsion for collecting rock 'n' roll concert posters emerged full-blown decades later as both a remembrance of music past and a valuable hobby. In June, he'll share his passion when 150 of his posters go on display for the exhibit "The Psychedelic '60s: Posters From the Rock Era" at the Toledo Museum of Art.
Freeburg's fascination with rock concert posters took off at age 14. A twentysomething teacher at his conservative private boys school in Memphis decided to take 40 kids to New York City for a few days. "I asked my parents and they weren't concerned. They thought it was my own thing. The teacher brought us there and turned us loose," says Freeburg. "It was a different time."
The mandatory events were a teenage dream: Go to a performance of the musical Hair and attend a Procol Harum concert at the Fillmore East. During the trip, Freeburg bought a few black-light posters to go with those in his bedroom, and one of rock god Jimi Hendrix.
In 2004, Freeburg remembered the posters and searched his parents' house for them. But like many other boomers, who had possessed once-cherished comic books, Barbies and baseball cards, he found that his treasures were gone. So he went on eBay and discovered a time machine that took him back to the posters of his youth. It had "all the ones I had as a kid and more, and I couldn't help but notice how exorbitant the prices were."
Undeterred, he bought one, then another, and another, as well as books that taught him which posters were the most valuable. Seven hundred fifty concert posters and 500 black light posters later, Freeburg, 56, has a stellar collection that captures the period's psychedelic, creative chaos and countercultural ethos, and evokes its pulsating dance floors, drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll vibe.
Today's priciest concert posters are from the first printing. It was usually a minimum run of from 250 to 1,000 in a given city. They were nailed on telephone poles or displayed in head shops, and fans spread the music news. The second printing was sold during the show or to collectors afterward. Many of the first printings were destroyed by weather or by moms who tossed them out.
As a consequence, Freeburg says, a lot of those early posters are worth thousands of dollars. He won't divulge how much he pays or the value of his collection but says, "I have a lot invested in these things, and the spike in value for '60s posters is diagonally up from left to right."
His collection is shelved flat in acid-free artist portfolios in a climate-controlled studio. They are labeled sequentially from their printing, and he buys duplicates of rare posters when he can.
Freeburg's relationship with poster collecting is complicated. He denies it's an obsession. Instead, he considers buying them as akin to investing in a mutual fund, but a tangible one. He says he won't buy a poster without considering its financial value. Then again, he admits he has offers to sell posters but can't part with a single one. "I am sentimental for that time period. I loved about 90 percent of those bands and I feel gifted for having their posters. I would have them all over the house, if my wife would let me," he says. Neither Freeburg's wife nor his 21-year-old daughter is a collector.
The posters he owns include every one produced to advertise rock's most famous venues, which include San Francisco's Fillmore and Winterland halls and the Avalon Ballroom; New York's Fillmore East; and the Monterey Pop Festival.
Freeburg, who retired at 49 from careers in construction and real estate, says every major group of the '60s visited his hometown of Memphis, and he also saw Otis Redding and all the major soul and R&B acts. But there was a downside. Freeburg attributes his increasing tinnitus to concerts and music in general.
Amy Gilman, the associate curator of modern and contemporary art at the Toledo Museum of Art, is moved by the continued impact of rock 'n' roll concert posters on global art, design, movies and advertising. "The way we portray the 1960s is immediately recognizable when those posters are referenced," she says. "I don't believe that there is another single period of graphic arts that has had as much influence on popular culture as these poster artists did, other than the age of Toulouse-Lautrec and the artists of early-20th-century Paris."
Freeburg says it's hard to choose his favorite poster, but admits one he especially likes was created by artists Stanley Mouse and his late partner Alton Kelley. It's their most famous—a skeleton and roses motif for a 1966 Grateful Dead concert. He's attracted by its artful presentation of the "dichotomy of life and death."
As for his own collecting habit, Freeburg has expanded his interests to movie posters from the 1930s to 1960. Why? "I basically have every poster that I want in the rock poster area or that I ever will be able to afford."

I try to adapt
I had so much fun making this for Emerson, that I had to find a way to adapt it for my grandson, Deacon. I thought about things a boy would do and came up with this.
I thought about it, and happened to have in my possession a block made by my friend Krista with a kite on it. Oh yeah! And what is a boy without a dog? If there is a boy, there has to be a dog.
You should give this a try. The tutorial is over at comfortstitching.

"Youth who are bullied may retaliate through violence"
South African based Phambano Technology Development Centre NPC are embarking on a new capacity building programme, #THEMBA (formerly #hashtagISAIDNO), to empower and equip civil society with the necessary tools required to eliminate cyberbullying.
"Who better than our local community protectors i.e civil society to address this growing epidemic head on? It is important to teach parents, educators and youth swiftly on the dangers relating to cyberbullying, and NPOs have the direct link to all three" says Sam Posselt, who is based at the Cape Town office and heads up the Marketing and Training Divisions for the NPC.
"Daily, I speak to nonprofit representatives about the dangers of the internet for our youth and how the landscape has changed and continues to change drastically. As a digital marketing trainer, I recognized early that our youth are not equipped enough to use social media and the likes responsibly. Having recently been made aware of online "SLUT LISTS" in schools (boys add girls to these lists and typically a form of abuse follows), I along with the NPC Board, have recognized how important it is to tackle this issue head-on and with Technology. Our daily function is to equip civil society with tech donations and discounts to help them streamline their day-to-day activities and we now welcome the responsibility of equipping them with the necessary tools to empower communities to stop cyberbullying."
To launch the programme, an event is being held in Cape Town on the 9th March 2018 titled: 'How Your Organisation Can Help End Cyberbullying'
Thereafter, nonprofit organisations are invited to attend 4 hour events across Southern Africa, free of charge, and will be given a range of tech tools and strategies to further educate the youth in their direct communities.
"When I started developing this programme I felt it necessary to create a unique train-the-trainer system that is easy to understand as a parent, educator or youth. The people that are closest to us and love us the most are often best equipped to help end (or deal with the effects of) bullying. When taking into consideration the fact that many nonprofit organisations have personal and long-standing relationships within their communities, it was only natural to want to equip them, as trainers, first."
Phambano Technology Development Centre NPC's hopes are that every nonprofit organisation across Southern Africa will have access to the #THEMBA resources and will simply pay-it-forward.
The NPC is currently reaching out to National and International stakeholders to partner and welcomes any invitation to address nonprofits on cyberbullying in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click on any of the following questions to jump directly to the answer.
Q. Why should I consider an aluminum railing product versus wood, steel or iron?
A. Precision Aluminum's railings are super-low maintenance. Unlike wood railings that need to be protected from insects and decay, or other metal railings prone to rust and peeling paint, Precision Aluminum Railings feature long-life rust-free powder coatings that endure any negligible maintenance requirements.
Q. I have a unique railing project in mind; does Precision Aluminum Manufacturing do custom work?
A. Yes! Precision Aluminum's railings are fully customizable and are custom-finished for the real dimensions of your deck or landing. Choose any style detailing you want, pick any colour you want; we can match any design scheme you select. We can also accommodate any height or unique angle requirements you have – in short, we can build a railing system to your specifications that will create that custom look you're after.
Q. Do Precision Aluminum Manufacturing's railings meet all North American building codes?
A. Yes. The Precision Aluminum Railing System is engineered to meet all major Canadian building code requirements.
Q. What is powder coating and why should I use it?
A. Powder coating is one of the most durable exterior finishes available today. It is used on many metal items that are exposed to the weather because, as a finish, it is the best way to insure durability, weather resistance, and colour retention. All Precision Aluminum product lines have Super Durable XP polyester powder coatings. Super Durable powders are formulated to maintain greater than 50% of their original gloss following 5 years of exposure.Precision Aluminum Manufacturing offers powder coating in standard and custom colours, providing a virtually infinite variety of hues for you to choose from.
A powder-coated finish is part paint and part polyester sealer/resin. The finish is applied as a powder, electrostatically, and while held to the metal this way, is baked in an oven. It is baked at a hot enough temperature so that, in effect, the outside layer of the metal fuses with the melted powder forming a hard, weather-resistant finish. For more information visit www.powdercoating.org.
Q. What heights are available?
A. Precision Aluminum Manufacturing's railings are available in 2 standard heights: 36" and 42". We can also manufacture up to 72" for wind barriers and privacy walls.
Q. How do the posts attach to the deck?
A. Precision Aluminum Manufacturing utilizes both surface mount posts with a 4" x 4" base plate as standard, as well as standard fascia brackets, also referred to as side mount posts.
Q. What type of glass is used?
A. Precision Aluminum recommends using 5mm (3/16") tempered or 6mm (¼") tempered for use in Canada, as per building code.
Q. Can I get obscured, tinted or etched glass?
A. Yes. Obscured, tinted or etched glass can be used in the Precision Aluminum railing systems the same way clear, tempered glass is. We have a wide selection of custom glass to choose from, as well.
Q. What type and size of pickets are available?
A. Precision Aluminum offers a number of different sized pickets, starting with our standard straight 5/8" x 5/8" square, which is the same material we use to make our "basket" pickets. A 5/8" x 1½" picket. A 3/4" x 3/4" square picket is also available.
Q. Can a mid-rail or intermediate rail be added?
A. Yes, Precision Aluminum railing offers a mid-rail for use with both picket and glass styles.

Dust rises over the gravel roads,
as the ditches fill with cans.
Tossed from an endless cavalcade,
of cars trucks and vans.
For months Ive rode these mountain trails,
and never saw a soul,
Now, theres a camp at every salt lick,
creek crossing and water hole.
Now I aint apposed to hunting,
Ive shot a deer or two,
But I sure get sick of all the garbage,
Left by town folk passing through!

According to Korn Ferry Global Study, two-thirds of CEOs are of the view that technology will be their firm's greatest competitive advantage.
Leaders who took part in the study say that tech is becoming so central to their thinking and execution that it occupies 40 per cent to 60 per cent of their priorities on strategic focus, financial investment and C-suite time.
"Leaders may be facing what experts call a tangibility bias," said Jean-Marc Laouchez, Global Managing Director, Solutions, Korn Ferry.
The research also noted that 40 per cent of respondents said they have experienced shareholder pressure to direct investment toward tangible assets like technology.
When asked to rank what their organisation's top five assets in the next five years, the company's workforce did not make the list.
The top five assets named by the CEOs (in order) are: technology (product, customer channels); R&D / Innovation; Product / Service; Brand; and Real Estate (offices, factories, land).
The study noted sixty-three per cent of respondents believe in 5 years, technology will be the firm's greatest source of competitive advantage.
Around 67 per cent said technology will create greater value in the future than people will, while, 44 per cent said the prevalence of robotics, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) will make people "largely irrelevant" in the future of work.
"While the critical role and pervasive nature of technology in tomorrow's workforce is clear, no one is saying people are going away altogether," said Alan Guarino, Vice Chairman, CEO and Board Services, Korn Ferry.
For this study, Korn Ferry conducted in-depth interviews with 800 business leaders in multi-million and multibillion dollar global organisations on their views concerning the value of people in the future of work.

Hello. I am a Christian theologian. I live in New York. My central interest is in
the renewal of liberal Christianity - which involves its re-making, as
something non-wet, sacramentally strong...
April 25
Good news on C of E and schools. The Church is trying to move away from its pushy-parent-friendly image. See my piece on Spectator blog.

Here's the conclusion to my review of Kester Brewin's book Other, in Third Way:
He is trying to will a new anarchic Christian culture into being. I have much sympathy with this project: I have often advocated the idea of an anarchic, post-institutional Christian culture. But I have recently come to feel that waiting for the anarchic revolution to kick off is not the whole task, maybe not the main task. The churches should not be let off so lightly! They should be infiltrated, reformed: re-formed, which means broken up a bit first. They exist to communicate Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God, so let us force them to do so better. Let us not assume the inevitability of the craven failure of our national Church, for example, but let us strip her of her privileges and bigotries, and force her into the public square, as a very different looking gal. Let's reform the Church, Kester.

I have written an article for the Episcopal New Yorker, on my eccentric Anglican position: the Communion is retarded by its established centre. Here the final paragraph:
"In a sense I agree with those who say that Anglicanism needs more definition. Let it begin with the fundamental question of its attitude to political liberalism. For perhaps the most important question for a church is whether it seeks political power on the old Christendom model, or renounces the possibility of such power, by fully affirming the secular liberal ideal. A united approach to this issue would require the mother-church to reject its imperial history and finally adapt to political liberalism. The American church should respond to calls for a Covenant by putting church-state relations on the table. It should say: 'OK, if we are at last defining common norms, to be followed by all provinces, why should sexuality eclipse all else? Let us begin by agreeing that establishment belongs to a past historical era, that it is now a hindrance to the gospel.' Canterbury would be given pause for thought, and a more fruitful debate about Anglican identity would ensue. That is my modest proposal for how Anglicanism may be rescued from its imperial history."
See many of my thoughts on the Guardian belief site, including on my reasons for rejecting the English approach to religion.http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief
I've been interviewed by Reform magazine - here
Here's my Guardian website article, on me and my tattoo:
My new book is called Faith.
The idea of the book is to look at the spillage of faith into modern thought - and it's also a sort of apologetics. Because faith is a personal thing, it has an autobiographical section about how the Christian myth got under my skin.
'Faith displays Hobson's characteristic qualities of forceful argument and conversational elegance.'
Diarmaid MacCulloch

It is a summary of my eccentric sacramental yearnings. Protestantism has always been sacramentally ill.

In post a couple weeks ago about the new fries at Wendy's a commenter asked how they tasted dipped into a Frosty. That got my memory churning about a discussion I had with my wife once about my time-honored tradition of taking a salty, piping-hot French fry and dunking it headfirst into the sweet and creamy pool of a milkshake. She had never even heard of that until I told her about it, and I was astounded. I thought every kid did that at some point.
To me, it is the perfect marriage of flavors - and a great opportunity to use the word "juxtaposition." Maybe my brother and I are the freaks, though. So I asked Houston's hottest new expert in milkshakes and fries, Steve Marques, one of The Burger Guys, what he thought of the practice.
As soon as I said the words, "fries in milkshake" he blurted out, "chocolate, chocolate." He is a veteran of the practice, back from his high school days when McDonald's still used to fry the fries in beef fat, and says people do it all the time in the restaurant.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

So, what say you? Is this milkshake and French fry heresy, or is it a common and accepted practice?

As colleges formed teams and had to come up with a standard set of rules everyone could follow, American football was born.
The first meeting to establish these rules occurred on October 18th, 1873 in New York City when members of Yale, Columbia, Rutgers and Princeton met. But the evolution of the game of football as we understand it today grew out of a competition between Harvard University and McGill University where the two styles of sport each team had been playing were fused. Harvard adopted these rules and spread them in America.
In these earliest college football games, each football team had a total of 25 team players. Several years later in 1873, the number of players on teams was lowered to a total of twenty team players. Three years later in 1876, the limit was lowered to fifteen players per team. Four years after that in 1880, only eleven players were allowed on a college football team and this regulation remains in effect today.
Also it is important to note that Walter Camp, often referred to as the "Father of American Football" was responsible for declaring many of the specific rules of football. He also selected the earliest College Football All-American Team.
First College Football Games
The first technical game of college football was played in New Brunswick, New Jersey on November 6, 1869. The game was played between Rutgers University and the College of New Jersey, now known as Princeton University. This game was much closer to soccer than modern day football, however. The first game of college football played the way it is recognized today was played between Harvard and Yale in 1875 following the Harvard, McGill game.
College Football Becomes Less Brutal
In 1906, the game of football was popular, but very violent and players endured injuries so bad that they sometimes resulted in death. Since the sport was very popular at campuses around the nation, the President of the United States at that time, Theodore Roosevelt, insisted upon the need for improving the game's safety. This maneuver eventually resulted in new game rules that improved the safety level of all concerned. Rules that changed included the addition of the forward pass, the opening up of the game so that fewer injuries would occur like those common in mass rushing maneuvers, and the use of a downs system was put into place.
Following WWII, collegiate football players were starting to become eligible for scholarships. Simultaneously, the quality of football gaming saw tremendous improvements. The improvements were implemented because many college teams were affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics or the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The latter organizations oversaw competitions between college teams and ensured rules were followed.
The first uniforms worn for college football gaming were created in the late 1870s; these uniforms consisted of an orange lined jersey, stockings, knee pants made with black material, a jacket, tightly laced and made of canvas. Of course, this kind of uniform offered very little in the way of bodily protection. In addition, by 1885 there was only one referee that monitored the football game. Within a decade's time, this grew to three referees for each game. Later, in 1915, a field judge was also added to the line of officials that monitors college football games. In 1955, a back judge was added. In the early 1970s a line judge was added to the officials of the game and by the early 1980s a side judge was also added.
Historic College Football Rivalries Begin
College football was popular in the world of writing too; college games were commonly reported in national newspapers, local papers, and people were interested in the outcome of college gaming. Some of the earliest of the football rivalries to crop up include those between Alabama and Auburn in 1893; the Holy Cross and Boston College beginning in the year 1896; West Virginia and Pittsburgh starting in 1895, and the Navy and the Army beginning as early as 1890. Sports fans remained enthralled with the events between the latter football teams and how every game unfolded.
Football championship gaming started in 1902 with a game between Stanford and Michigan in a game then sponsored by the Tournament of Roses Association. Michigan proved the victor in the game with a score of forty-nine to zero. The game proved so exciting and popular that it became a yearly event. Later, the Rose Bowl Stadium was created and the site derived its name from the games previously sponsored by the Tournament of Roses Association. Later, in the 1940s there were five additional championship football games created including the Cotton Bowl, the Sun Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Rose Bowl.
Today there is a National College Football Hall of Fame too. This shrine is for all of those that have achieved major accomplishments in amateur football including coaches and players. There have been well over five million coaches and players involved in college football, but only a little over one thousand individuals have made it into the prestigious Hall of Fame. This site was at one time moved to Ohio in King Mills, but by 1995 it was again moved to South Bend. For more information visit http://www.collegefootball.org/history.php

I actually have been meaning to do this for months. This morning I truly felt connected and inspired to finally do it and I believe it deserves to be celebrated and shared. Here it goes…
A love note to my ideal client 💓
Dear client & friend:
I know that making the decision to start your own business can be very scary. I also know how challenging it is to actually start a business while you are also an employee, a mum (or mum to be), a wife, a friend, a daughter and all he other roles we play as women.
I also know that you want more balance and flexibility in your life so you can spend more time with your family and do something you love without sacrificing your financial security and peace of mind. We all want that, it is not a secret. I know that very well because that's me as well.
I have to say that the path to get there is not always easy but it is certainly worth it. I have made so many mistakes along the way and if I would have known what I know today when I first started this whole journey of leaving my corporate career in Human Resources to start my own business, I would have certainly done things a little bit different.
Everything I have learned so far I want to share it with you. I want to hold your hand now that it is your turn to go through that path so I can make that new journey you are about to begin a little bit easier. I want to help you do things right from the very beginning. I want you to build a business you love without sacrificing your financial security, peace of mind and quality of life. I want to help you build the strong foundations of your new venture so you can lead from the heart, stay truth to yourself and make the right decisions for you, your family and your future clients from the very beginning. That is how I think we can really make long lasting changes in our lives and I want to help you do that as well, no matter how long it takes.
Together, we would discover your strengths, your talents, your passions, your unique gift, so you can reconnect with that, with yourself, your values and your true desires. That is the very first step to build that life plan and sustainable business you envision.
We will do that inner work first to help you build the mindset muscle and identify what you really want so you can create that business that will make you feel fulfilled, independent, free and worthy.
I have to tell you in advance that building that business aligned with your values, with the right balance, for the right reasons and profitable, could take some time but as long as you build it on strong foundations, you are setting yourself for success. On this rollercoaster you decide the pace but I will be with you every step of the way to inspire you, support you and provide you with the right resources and connections to help you navigate this journey with flow and ease.
I won't promise you an overnight success, simply because there is no magic. What I can promise you is clarity, alignment and strong foundations for your business. Together, we will uncover the female entrepreneur within you that has arrived to stay.
You have everything you need to make your dreams a reality. It is just a matter of discovering what you really want, what really matters to you and taking small steps but realistic and consistent action. I am here to help you achieve that. Let's make it happen. I can't wait to see you flourish !!!
