The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Fastening, Joining & Assembly, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Fastening, Joining & Assembly today.

Not interested in the least.

I'd rather have a young maiden reach waaaay down into the bottom of that chilly bucket, just for lil ol' me. Make that TWO scoops, please. And wear a heavier blouse next time, you're gonna get arrested.

"No-one gets an ironclad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance" -- Mia Hamm
