We started ARW in 2006 with the intent of providing roofing and waterproofing technical information for architects and engineers. The publication initially appeared as an e-zine that was produced four times a year. The publication is now produced six times a year with three e-zines and three print publications.

Now that some assert Global Warming has been regulated to Santa Claus status through “Climategate,” it will be interesting to see how the environmental movement will proceed.

I would like to start by wishing everybody a happy and
healthy holiday season. The holidays are a time to enjoy family and reflect on
the past year. Hopefully, many of you will also have an opportunity to take a
break prior to heading into 2009.
