Greg Nixon hand makes memories.
In his spare time, he custom builds wooden
picture frames for his company, Cotton Glen Framing.
“I’ve been doing this since February,” he said. “I ran across the idea of framing because I already had the tools and I knew it would be something that would keep me busy.”
Nixon works full time as supervisor of Nixon Cabinet Company, Inc., a business that services Madison and Limestone Counties.
He said the most important aspect of picking out picture frames is finding the right one to complement the surrounding artwork.
He said the first step in picking out a frame is correctly measuring the artwork for
framing. “Once I have the image of the frame, I
place the design on a CNC machine, which reads the design and then cuts the image out,” he said.
Nixon said the most time consuming task for him is hand-designing the template for the frame. It can take up to several hours trying to perfect the image.
“Generally, wood frames are available in natural wood tones as well as various colors,” he explained.
All of his frames are made by hand using MBF wood.
When selecting a frame, he said it’s important to understand the five major parts: material, color, shape, width and rabbet.
Nixon says he likes to paint his frames with a glaze, which gives the frames full detail.
There are several options to consider when choosing the size of your frame including simple, flat or round molding.
“The most popular frames are those that have elaborate designs such as swan, scoops and floating frames,” he said.
The amount of space available for the frame package, which is called the rabbet, is especially important to consider when framing 3-D objects.
Nixon said picture frame dimensions range from one-fourth of an inch to more than six inches. An important width consideration is choosing a thin width for big frames.
Nixon provides excellent quality to his frames, which aids in the end result.
To view samples of Nixon’s frame gallery you can visit Cotton Glen Framing on Facebook. He can also be reached via email at [email protected].

Situated on a Rainbow Mountain slope, the home of Steve and Shrail Heinrich offers peacefulness in nature with a
custom lifestyle fit. For several years, Shrail Heinrich had
driven by the house, often taking her family, to view the wooded setting. However, by late 2005 the house still wasn’t on the market.
Giving up hope, the Heinriches enlisted a local architect to design their “second dream home” (Rainbow Mountain remained first). About halfway into design, Steve and Shrail were lunching at Greenbrier Barbecue when she thumbed through a real estate magazine. “My jaw dropped ... there was my house,” she said.
The next day, they spent hours at the open house. Before starting the car to leave, Steve said, “I think we’re in trouble.” “He knew there was no way we were moving anywhere but here,” Shrail said.
Built in the mid-1970s, the house was updated extensively circa 2000. “Before moving in, we spent 15 months modifying to reflect our style—bathrooms, kitchen and an inviting space for overnight visitors,” she said.
The brick and stone home on three acres has 4,300 square feet in an open floor plan, plus 1,000 square feet for outdoor entertaining. Several rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows for “cohesiveness between indoors and outdoors,” Shrail said.
“The home’s setting feels like it is miles from the city, but in reality, it is five minutes from everything—best of both worlds,” Steve said.
The home’s casual and inviting decor blends English countryside lodge with clean lines of a California ranch retreat, she said. The kitchen’s vantage point on their property offers views of deer, coyote, rabbits, hawks and owls.
The Heinriches especially enjoy the dining room, a place where friends and family have gathered. In spring and summer, large windows frame the lush, green backdrop. In fall and winter, the fireplace warms for cozy ambience.
This room also holds favorite furniture pieces -- dining room chairs and a distressed chest from Noble Passage Interiors, 204-202 Main St. in Madison. “I try to always

shop Madison first, whether for gifts, art, or in this case, furniture. I couldn’t have worked with a better designer. Deborah McDaniel helped create a room that reflected our vision and personal style,” Heinrich said.
McDaniels’ decorating finesse thrilled the Heinriches. “I’m hooked on shopping in downtown Madison. I love knowing that our home is a reflection of our community,” Shrail said. When someone asks, ‘where did
you find that great piece of furniture,’ I take pride in saying right here in Madison.”
The wooded setting offers a collection of paths through acres of natural landscaping. “As you stroll the trails, oak leaf hydrangeas, Japanese maples and ferns sit peacefully against the forest backdrop,” she said. The Heinrich’s lawn has been featured on the Huntsville Botanical Garden tour.
Steve works as an engineer. Shrail
is actively involved in community volunteerism. Their daughter Stephanie is studying mechanical engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.

Tiffany Gibson is no-brag, just-fact when talking about her new downtown business, Artistic Cakes by Tiffany
Bakery/Deli.“Not to toot our own horn but,
everything we make is good with a capital YUM,” Gibson said.
“We make everything with love,” Gibson said about her bakery confections and deli foods. “For breakfast, the Crimson Tide cinnamon roll will melt in your mouth (and has become a crowd-pleaser). Our white-chocolate raspberry scone will knock your socks off.” Resisting the made-from-scratch cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies, pies and artesian breads is difficult.
The new Madison eatery at 4155 Sullivan St. on the corner of Main Street also offers specialty deli subs on homemade Italian bread. “With choices like the southwest chicken, the pizziola or the famous steak wiz, there’s something for every taste,” Gibson said.
Cakes materialize in never-seen-before designs and unrivaled tastes at Artistic Cakes by Tiffany Bakery/Deli. Gibson welcomes special or unique requests. “Making sure you have a one-of-a-kind, delicious creation is our goal,” she said. “We love a challenge and encourage out-of-the-box ideas.”
Gibson has created cakes resembling a laptop computer with keyboard, a psychedelic rainbow and a lazy river ambling through a forest -- all with intricate embellishments and some with floral bouquets. ‘Photo’ cakes are another option.
When customers ask about available flavors, Gibson answers, “What would you like?” Rum raspberry, orange cream and banana pudding with caramel praline are more exotic flavors, flanked by classic
tastes of French vanilla, chocolate and lemon.
Gibson’s all-inclusive motto for mouth-watering cakes states:
“You want it? We’ll make it. You name it? We’ll bake it.” For wedding cakes, Gibson recently
negotiated for “a couple deeply in love, but die-hard fans for opposing football teams.” To keep them happy, Gibson designed
frosting in a houndstooth fedora pattern for Alabama Crimson Tide homage, along with cake layers in blue and Auburn Tiger orange. “It was a hit.”
Artistic Cakes expanded from a home business and now has four employees. Gibson hopes to expand to 10 to accommodate catering and deliveries.
The brainchild of cakes, Gibson works with head baker Art Hill, who oversees

the deli menu, and operating manager Tiffanii Hill, who was trained at Stanlieo’s Sub Villa in Huntsville. “Somehow, all our strengths and dreams came together,” Gibson said.
Why is the bakery succeeding? “As corny as it may sound ... love,” Gibson said. “We absolutely enjoy baking and cooking. What we love most, however, is the look
on the face of a new customer who has tasted the love and greatness that we offer through our foods.”
Breakfast and lunch is served Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The bakery is closed on Saturday, with appointments only on Sunday.
To keep customers informed, Gibson likes using Facebook “to immediately
show what we make -- the minute it’s out of the oven.”
“We love suggestions and the opportunity to be as artistic as possible,” Gibson said. “As long as we get proper notice, we can make your ideas a reality.”

PAGE 31: Beth Martin is Progress Bank’s market president. RIGHT: Madison’s Progress Bank branch opened in late spring.
Community banks are a great asset to Madison, according to Progress Bank Market President Beth Martin.
Martin, who has been with the company for six months, leads the Madison branch.
Martin said community banks tend to be more flexible and service oriented than many other banks that may have decision makers in some other city.
“Our bankers in Madison are the decision makers and take responsibility for everything we do in the market,” Martin said. “We know our clients and we are in the market every day helping our community.”
Martin is responsible for establishing bank operational and financial goals, as well as ensuring that all aspects of the bank’s activities run smoothly.
She said one big advantage of banking at a community bank is that they are able to serve customers on a higher level.
“Our goal is to provide everything an individual or business needs from their bank in a simple, uncomplicated manner,” she said. “We live, work, go to school and church in the communities we serve so this is our home.”
Martin said her ownership and management team are a part of the communities they serve, which she said sets them apart from other banks in the area.
Madison fits into the geographic region in which Progress Bank targets. Martin said it “just makes sense” for a bank headquartered in Madison County to be in the city of Madison.
“The demographics and overall growth rates are impressive and we want to serve
Progress Bank opens in Madison

that market with a full service location,” she said.
Full service means Progress Bank can do anything that any other bank can do, but locally.
Martin said Progress Bank is small enough to be personal with banking clients, but large enough to offer any service needed by most businesses or individuals.
“We offer a full product menu of traditional banking services, mortgage lending, financial services and treasury management for businesses,” she said. “We offer a wide variety of on-line banking services for individuals and businesses so each client can bank with us the way they want.”
With a bachelor’s degree in theology and marketing, and a master’s in business administration, Martin has more than 10 years in executive, sales, market development and product management. She serves on the Madison Hospital Advisory Board, Huntsville Hospital Foundation Board, Madison Police Foundation and Graduate Leadership Connect, among others.

Uncovering your sinuses:an in-depth look at how they work
38 Madison Living
Some may wonder what our sinuses actually are. Dr. Dawn Mancuso of Heritage Family Medicine asked aloud the same
question, and of course, she had all the answers.
“Our skull is bone,” Mancuso said. Your head has holes in it to “help aerate to
lighten your head.”The sinuses are those holes. Particles
inhaled through the nose can cause problems in the sinuses.
“They’re lined with tissue that secretes mucus,” said Mancuso. “You secrete mucus to clear irritants, and that’s where the allergy component comes in.”
“When the body is exposed to those things, those pollen particles or bacteria, it sets up a response system that produces histamines that are irritants,” Mancuso said. “They are a healing defense mechanism for your body.”
“When you get a mosquito bite or you
get welts, and your body swells up, that’s a histamine response that’s trying to clear that unwanted particle or substance from your body,” said Mancuso. “That’s our natural way of healing, so actually when we think of healing our body, it overdoes it sometimes, but the healing process is actually an irritative process.”
Mancuso said medication can often be avoided by rinsing with saline, using warm cloths or a neti pot. “Most people have a sinus inflammation and not a full-blown infection,” said Mancuso.
“Most sinus infections and inflammations start with viruses or allergies, where the mucosa, or the lining of the sinuses, get inflamed, thick, and then just the process of the cell types in there produce mucus and watery stuff,” Mancuso said. “If it’s not drained properly, then subsequently bacteria can get in there. It’s like a stagnant pool and it overgrows.”
“If you get the fever, the swollen face,
the headaches, then an antibiotic may be needed,” said Mancuso.
She said the current recommendation is to give it seven days and see if your body can heal it on its own.
“Bacteria tend to want to adapt to survive, and by overusing antibiotics a person’s system and even bacteria in the environment adapt to be able to survive against those antibiotics,” Mancuso said. “Overuse of antibiotics have led to bacteria, some refer to it as super bacteria, that nothing gets rid of easily. When you take an antibiotic, yes it gets rid of the offensive bacteria, but it also clears your body of good bacteria that help promote a healthy flora to your sinuses, your stomach, your colon, your skin.”
The sinuses, while useful, also provide a glance into the mysterious. “Interestingly, with the maxillary sinuses, something that’s fascinating, they are here in your cheeks, and they have to drain upward,” Mancuso said. “That’s the miracle of our body.”

Tasks important to your daily life require strength. When you open a jar of pickles, pick up a bag of pet food, or sit
down and stand up, you’re using strength. Think of a few physical tasks that give you problems. I bet more strength is part of the answer to solving them.
But isn’t the pinnacle of fitness great endurance? Accomplished runners and triathletes adorn the cover of popular fitness magazines. Have we ever stopped to question, why endurance? Is that really what I need most?
Endurance is important in fitness, but incomplete without strength. Strength becomes doubly important with age. Long term independence means having the strength to maneuver our bodies as we want, while reducing the chance of broken bones, hip replacements, cranky joints and osteoporosis. Strength is also important for everyone. Nature is demanding and makes no distinction between men and women. Strength is independence, and independence is empowering.
So how do you develop strength? With a strength and conditioning program and a great coach like those at CrossFit Impulse in Madison, getting strong means learning to train with equipment such as barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells.
A coach can teach you the correct way to move so you don’t learn bad habits or possibly injure yourself. A coach also specifies the type of exercises you need to reach your goals, and how much work is appropriate for your ability level.
Some of that may sound intimidating, but I promise it doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t matter how out of shape you feel. Strength training is for everyone, and it doesn’t matter where you start. It only matters you do start.
