Add some warmth and privacy to your yard this year with the Slipfence Vertical, Horizontal, or Traditional fencing system. This aluminum post and cap is the first step in creating a life-long fence never having to set posts again. This post combined with the Slipfence Vertical kit, (SF2-USK93) Horizontal Kit, (SF2-HCK06), or Traditional kit, (SF2-TBK02, all sold separately), the result is a strong, permanent framework to build your fence on. Once the framework is in place, just add your wood (sold separately). The vertical system uses regular fence pickets (5/8 in. x 5.5 in.) which slide easily through pre-punched openings in the stringers to create a shadowbox-style fence. The Horizontal system uses a 5/4 in. (1 in. thick) deck board, these boards, slide down the channels to create a fully private, contemporary-looking Horizontal fence. The Traditional system is made up of 2 brackets per pack with screws included to fasten to this aluminum post and then requires 2 x 4 boards that slip into the traditional brackets, creating top and bottom rails, (centerboard as well if necessary). Then proceed to build either a board-to-board, board-on-board, or shadowbox traditional-style fence. No more fence posts that warp, lean, shrink or rot with the Slipfence aluminum framework. Color: Black.

Thomas Usk, a contemporary of Chaucer, was a figure of political and literary importance who became involved in the tempestuous politics of late fourteenth-century London. In 1384 he took part in John Northampton's agitations against the mayor of London and was imprisoned. While in custody, he had an apparent conversion experience and wrote a detailed accusation against Northampton and his followers. Shortly thereafter, while still in custody, he wrote The Testament of Love, which contains an allegorical apologia for his change of heart, a meditation on the fickle nature of worldly fortune and an exploration of the relationship between grace and free will. Usk was eventually freed and briefly enjoyed the favour of King Richard II. However, he was arrested along with others of Richard's party in December 1388 by order of the Lords Appellant. After a one-day trial, the Merciless Parliament convicted him of treason on 4 March 1388 and he was executed on the same day. Thomas Usk's Testament of Love is an interesting document that presents many challenges to the reader. While it has been over a hundred years since Walter Skeat's edition of the text, there has been much recent scholarly activity in this area. Gary Shawver's critical edition of Testament is based on John F. Leyerle's work on the text, and reflects modern knowledge of the period, as well as containing new insights into the source of Usk's material. As Usk's work survives in only one witness, namely Thynne's 1532 print edition, The Workes of Geffray Chaucer, Professor Shawver provides a text that is as faithful as possible to this witness in a form that modern readers and scholars of Chaucer's works can understand.
