Will a giant sunflower self seed and spread in the rest of my garden? |

only the seeds the birds don't eat and drop in you garden. |
- Posted by Brian_NY_NJ_PA zone 5/6 NY/NJ/ (My Page) on Fri, Jul 30, 04 at 23:18
Sunflower readily self-seed, but the giant varieties don't self-seed often because their large seeds are easy targets for squirrels and birds. I've had ornamental sunflowers that have self-seeded in my mom's garden for at least 5 years. The seeds on ornamental varieties are much smaller, and are usually black or brown which make them more difficult for birds and squirrels to find. Sometimes squirrels bury the seeds or birds drop them and they end up in parts of the yard that you never planted them before. |

Carlesimo will stay head coach for now by Scooby Axson Email Posted: Mon Dec. 31, 2012 Nets GM Billy King says interim coach P.J. Carlesimo has the team's support. (Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBA/Getty Images)Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King is apparently in no hurry to name a new coach, saying that interim coach P.J. Carlesimo will stay in that position for now and he is not actively searching for someone to take the job permanently.King said on ESPN Radio Sunday that the team will continue to support Carlesimo and will re-evaluate his status moving forward. King did not put a timetable on when a new coach will be hired.The Nets fired coach Avery Johnson on Thursday and the Nets are 2-0 since Carlesimo took over, with defeats over the Charlotte Bobcats and Cleveland Cavaliers."We've put our support behind (P.J.) and then we'll look at things and evaluate it later," King said. "I know people have been throwing lists together and things like that, but we have not contacted anybody. ... We've made the move and now we're going to let P.J. coach. Sometimes you just need a different voice. What I like about P.J. is he's had NBA head coaching experience. I think he understands the game, he's been around it."Brooklyn is 16-14, five games behind the first place New York Knicks in the Atlantic Division. Promoted Stories Comments

Results 1 to 4 of 4
Thread: Fourth in a sibset
June 12th, 2013 11:31 PM #1
Classic name for fourth
My planned sibset is so far:
Cecelia *family name* Rose
Samuel *family name* James
Benjamin Edward Raphael
I need another girl to complete it. I'm not having children, I am planning for future!
I like classic names, and the combo needs 2 middles, one must be Anne (family member), and one of the names must have God in the meaning so it fits with the sibset. In the first combo, the family name has God in the meaning. In the second, Samuel means told by God, and in the third, Raphael means God has healed.
My guilty pleasure for the sibset is Sophronia Charlotte Elise but I cannot use it for personal reasons. Elizabeth/Elisabeth is also unusable.
It would be best if the first name had a nickname (Cecelia= Lia, Samuel= Sam, Benjamin= Benno or Jamie). Thank you very much!Last edited by merrybells; June 12th, 2013 at 11:43 PM. Reason: Spelling

Coming next week, BC Wood will be participating for the second time at the Seoul Living Design Fair at COEX in the Korean Market. Last year, the small, but targeted exhibit showcased high-end designed furniture from British Columbia and was extremely well received. Members of Korea's design community were very interested in the Design Canada theme and had a particular interest in the use of wood as a material. This year, we are taking a larger space and showcasing more companies and new products at Korea's key design trade show of the year. Check back with the next issue of Wood Connections for the results of this event. For more information, contact David Pao at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Turkeybuild, Istanbul, Turkey – May 2-6th, 2012
Brian Hawrysh
"High quality, specialty lumber and building materials such as WRC decking, siding and roofing, Log/Timberframe, and prefabricated house packages will be of interest to the Turkish lumber importers, architects, and builders."
Despite the difficult turbulent economic conditions evident in Western Europe over the past year, a majority of the new emerging East European economies have displayed a relatively strong economic performance. The strongest of these economies has been Turkey. Turkey is the fastest growing OECD market and the region's top performer. A study by Goldman Sachs (2009) projected that Turkey will be the ninth largest economy in the world and the third largest in Europe by 2050. Turkey also has a long history and affinity of building with wood which gave way to a focus on concrete construction in the post WWII period. With a growing affluence, Turks are rediscovering their traditional preference of wood construction in higher-end residential and recreational home construction.
For these reasons, BC Wood decided to explore opportunities for BC's value-added sector in Turkey and started by participating in the Turkeybuild show in Ankara last September. The four BC companies and BC Wood's representative attending the show reported that there was very strong interest shown in BC's products and services by the local timber and building materials distributors, as well as the Turkish construction and design professionals. The products generating the most interest were WRC exterior finishing, solid wood interior millwork and flooring, prebuilt housing, and log homes. Turkish companies showed a great deal of interest in partnering with Canadian companies that produce innovative, higher quality wood products. As with all new and emerging markets, it was noted that finding the right partner is crucial in gaining market penetration.
Based on Turkey's expected long term economic growth and the early success of BC Wood's first entry into the market, BC Wood is planning to return to Turkey. This coming fiscal year, BC Wood will attend the Turkeybuild show in the country's economic centre, Istanbul. Last year, the Istanbul show drew over 110,000 visitors, many of them from the neighboring Eastern European and Islamic countries. The Istanbul show is not only a much larger event than last year's Ankara show, Istanbul itself is a much larger market and the commercial center of Turkey, providing better opportunities for BC companies.
At Turkeybuild, exhibitors can showcase a full range of building materials and systems. High quality, specialty lumber and building materials such as WRC decking, siding and roofing, and prefabricated house packages will be of interest to the Turkish lumber importers, architects, and builders.
For the 2012 Turkeybuild, BC Wood will coordinate a display of member companies and other Canadian forest products associations. For more information regarding this event, BC Wood's participation, and costs please contact Brian Hawrysh at 604-882-7100 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com

BUILDEX Vancouver, one of Canada's largest tradeshow/conferences, welcomed over 13,000 design, construction, and real estate management professionals on February 8th and 9th to the new Vancouver Convention Centre. Over 425 exhibitors and more than 50 educational seminars were presented to the interior design and architecture professions, property and real estate management, and the construction and renovation sectors.
BC Wood was pleased to see a 20% increase in participation over last year, with 10 members joining us from the building and finished products sectors including Structurlam, Unison Windows, Cedarland/SilvaPanel, Trout Creek, Barker Manufacturing, Daizen Joinery, Moulding & Millwork, Coulson Manufacturing, Woodtone, and Wideplank Flooring. Feedback to date has been very positive, with 50% respondents citing an expected $715,000.00 in new sales from the leads made at Buildex this year.
For the most part, we received inquiries and interest from the industry professionals looking for "new" products and ideas. From results and feedback so far, it was a great event for our participating members and we plan to be back again next year with a concerted "Wood Made in BC" presence.
The BC Wood Japan office participates in 6-7 trade shows per year in addition to organizing various seminars, responding to inquiries, and conducting countless client visits. In all of these trade promotion activities we give out copies of our BC Wood Japanese brochure to both explain about our value-added industry and to introduce specific member companies that have ads inside. We are currently putting together a new version of this brochure so this is your chance to be a part of this great promotional activity.
For a small investment, your company will be featured in the members section of this brochure. All we need is your logo, contact information, a product picture, and a brief company/product profile. If you do not have a profile in Japanese, we can translate it from English for you.
The BC Wood Japan office has been conducting a media campaign and this brochure will be sent out to all of the inquiries that we are receiving as a result. Additionally, as the tsunami devastated Tohoku region moves into reconstruction mode, we will be doing a large mail out with this brochure to the importers, builders, and developers in the affected areas.
Even if you cannot take advantage of our trade show programs directly, our new Japanese brochure will get your company in front of a wide cross-section of the Japanese building products industry. Time and space is limited so hurry and don't miss out!
For more information about the new Japanese brochure program, please contact Jim Ivanoff at email@example.com.

A few ideas, comments, and thoughts that may be of interest to industry…
October was an extremely busy time for BC Wood in the United States with 4 major trade events taking place in the month. Over the next few weeks, I will discuss the events and the potential market opportunities that arose from our participation.
First up was the AIA Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii. BC Wood and 5 members participated in the trade event and the following mission in early October. Like most trade events that target the US residential and light commercial construction sector, this show was down in both participation and attendance. This year, 300 plus exhibitors and 1400 attendees were at the event, down by approximately 20% over previous years and is reflective of the reduced construction activity throughout the State of Hawaii. Nevertheless, this trade event still provides the single best opportunity for BC companies to network with builders, developers, and architects across the state of Hawaii and other countries including Guam, Tahiti, Micronesia, and the West Coast of the United States who have projects on the islands.
Following the event, we spent 3 days travelling between the Islands meeting with architects and builders and visiting construction sites, getting a 1st hand account of the market and potential opportunities that are available. The general consensus from builders and architects working on projects in both Maui and Kona is that the market is showing gradual improvement. Also, a belief that there is a pent up demand developing as their clients – ultra wealthy individuals, building luxury vacation homes – are tired of sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the economy to improve. As one builder described it, "the life quality ratio is starting to weigh on his clients". Essentially, his target market is older, semi retired or retired professionals who have the financial ability to self-finance multi-million dollar construction projects. A number of his clients are weighing the consequences of waiting for the economy to improve vs. their remaining quality of life and have decided to start construction projects that were stalled after the market collapse in 2008. This is likely a problem most of us would love to have, but certainly bodes well for high-end residential construction projects to resume on the Islands.
Another observation that I found interesting, from one of the top residential and commercial builders on the Islands, was the changing demographic in the secondary vacation home market. The big Island of Kona, he suggests with the luxury resorts of Hualolai and Kukio, are where the "old school money" has vacation homes and property; think for example, Charles Schwab. The new rich, those who have made money in Silicon Valley and the Dot Com market, find these resorts stuffy and instead are investing in new developments on the Islands of Maui and Kauai. This builder is banking on the shift in wealth demographic and is expecting to focus on projects on these Islands.
Finally, most experts that we met expected to see good growth over the next few years as the economy continues to improve in the US and across the State of Hawaii. There are a number of projects that are on the drawing board and are expecting to begin construction in the Spring of 2012. I will continue to follow up with the builders and keep you informed when these projects are announced. As always if you have any questions or comments please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

For over 30 years the Japan Home & Building Show has been one of the most important events in the marketing calendar of foreign companies selling into Japan. However, this year there were many challenges facing the event, some resulting from the 3/11 earthquake while others were self-inflicted.
Several years ago the show organizers decided to change the date of the 2011 show so as to time it with the planned UIA event at Tokyo Forum. I personally expressed my concerns over this numerous times as I have seen how such date changes have hurt other shows. Especially with the JHS' long history, everyone expects it to take place in November. However, they believed that holding it in conjunction with the UIA event would inject new energy into the show.
These plans were greatly complicated by the March earthquake. By having bumped up the show, the organizers also bumped up the recruiting period of the show to late spring, which was still the dark period when no one knew what tomorrow would bring. As a result, purse strings were tightened and I am sure the JHS had trouble signing up exhibitors.
The earthquake and the nuclear disaster also worried the expected 10,000 overseas UIA attendees. In April there was even talk of cancelling the UIA event. However, they moved ahead with it as the situation in Fukushima gradually improved.
As we set-up for the show, I wondered and worried about how it would turn out. As feared, the attendance fell dramatically, from 87,000 to 43,000. Luckily though the quality of the visitors greatly increased as many more architects came to the show for the first time. This was undoubtedly due to the cross-marketing with the UIA event. We even received many overseas guests who came for the UIA event. Overall, even though the overall numbers were down, we felt just as busy as last year since the architects were spending more time with us asking questions about products.
The other thing that I had been wondering about was how much traffic we would receive related to reconstruction efforts in the Tohoku area. Over the three days, we met with many builders, developers, and distributors from the earthquake/ tsunami affected areas and they seemed to be getting themselves prepared for the big reconstruction projects. I learned that developers from across the region and even other parts of Japan are buying up all the available elevated land near the coast for such projects. However, they are experiencing labour shortages and are thus looking at overseas suppliers that can help with packaged homes and other solutions.
Despite the drop in attendance, our members were very pleased with the results of the show. We were able to make a great number of new contacts including ones involved in the reconstruction efforts. This helps us prepare for the Nikkei Show next March where reconstruction projects will definitely be taking center stage.

Kelowna-based Norelco Cabinets taps into the Business Innovation Partnership (BIP) on all fronts and achieves huge impact to their bottom-line.
Companies that have accessed the BIP services have seen significant payback! For Norelco Cabinets, the market and technical advice delivered through the BIP has dramatically changed the way the company manufactures its products, as well as how it markets and sells those products. Hear from company owner Peter Raja in this short video (link below) as he details some of the changes that dramatically increased productivity, product quality, and sales – along with an increase in profitability.
Some of the areas Norelco focused on were the better use of their manufacturing space and how product moved through the shop. With FPInnovations' help, the company was able to increase its production without expanding its footprint – a significant capital savings! Along with gains in productivity came increases in product quality, and lower rework costs. Accessing new markets and developing new business approaches helped Norelco expand its sales. With the help of BCWood, Norelco embraced new sales techniques including both online marketing as well as traditional client/vendor interaction, and discovered new sales potential in markets it had not previously ventured in to.
Overall, the biggest benefit for Norelco was working with BCWood and FPInnovations concurrently. As new sales opportunities were discovered, the manufacturing process was being improved with the final result of getting to the market quicker, and efficiently capitalizing on new sales potential.
If you'd like to discover how you can achieve results like these, watch this short video. If you have questions or want further information, contact FPInnovations at (604) 222 5672, or BCWood at (877) 422 9663.

Recently the BC Wood Japan office welcomed some special guests to Japan: BC Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thompson and the Federal Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver. Working with our Canada Wood partners in Japan we arranged visits for Minister Thompson to see a large concrete building using over 1000m3 of wood in finishing applications, a large importer of WRC products, a senior's home being built in 2×4, a pre-cut plant using hem-fir, the Tokyo Lumber Terminal, two temporary housing projects that were built with Canadian materials, and Sendai Port. Minister Oliver was also able to join some of these stops while also taking part in a customer appreciation dinner in Sendai for companies operating in the earthquake affected region.
The main event for the combined Ministerial Mission was a joint press conference in Tokyo to announce $4.5 million in funding to construct wood framed buildings in the tsunami devastated region of Tohoku as a part of Canada's earthquake relief efforts. As the location of the project and the type of facility to be built has yet to be decided, we took Minister Thompson to the coastal towns of Onagawa (90% destroyed) and Minami-Sanrikucho (95% destroyed). Meeting with the mayors and other officials the Minister was able to learn about the magnitude of the tsunami as well as scale of the human tragedy. One story that will be hard to forget was about how the Mayor of Minami-Sanrikucho and 9 colleagues survived by hanging on to a steel fence on the roof as the tsunami crashed over and submerged them. Sadly the other 50 workers at city hall were not as lucky and perished in the deadly wave.
Town officials were overjoyed by the news of Canada's proposed donation and were quick to suggest ideas on the types of buildings that are needed. The Minister was also told that all of the homeless survivors were now in temporary housing units so the next major issue for this area is to rebuild their industries/economies. Until there are local employment opportunities, people will not be able to return to normal daily life. This is an important point that we will have to keep in mind as we review possible projects to be built with the Canadian donation.
Talking with both companies in Tohoku and other parts of Japan recently, it seems that the reconstruction efforts in the north are creating a shortage of carpenters across the country. The scarcity of workers and resulting higher labour costs are leading builders to look at importing wall panels as a part of house packages. The same phenomenon was seen after the Kobe earthquake with Japanese companies importing large numbers of house packages as well as North American carpenters.
As reconstruction is picking up speed, the BC Wood Japan office is now beginning to focus on the March Nikkei Show with this unique situation in mind. That show will give members a great opportunity to get involved with reconstruction projects and also benefit from the overall strength of the Japanese housing market.

Once again BC Wood took some of Canada's top designers to Japan to display their latest pieces at Tokyo Designers Week. This year's contingent was made up by Judson Beaumont, Brent Comber, Marie Khouri, Mario Sabljak, and Martha Sturdy.
For the first time the show organizers gave us the highly prized location at the front of the main tent. For this reason, we developed a new open concept that replaced the walls between members with branded pillars acting as the anchor for each of the displays. It was a risky move, but as a group we decided that we needed a bold display that showcased a unified Canadian presence.
The decision proved to be correct as our space was always full and we received endless complements that our pavilion was the best at the show. Adding an additional element of excitement were the long lines of people waiting for Judson Beaumont to sign his drawings. It was surprising that we didn't receive any complaints as the lines often snaked around neighbouring pavilions!
Over the past few we have held several receptions in collaboration with the Canadian Embassy to tie in our presence at Tokyo Designers Week with other Canadian companies selling design oriented consumer products in Japan. With our new open pavilion we decided to hold this event within our own space. While offsite talks and receptions are a great way to assemble industry people, this year's format brought our guests into personal contact with the great work we had on display at the show. While a bit tight, this proved to be a very positive move. As always, we are also greatly appreciative of the Embassy's support of our program.
Tokyo Designers Week is actually a large event held across Tokyo at many venues. We have always exhibited at the main venue, but this year we also took part in the Bamboo Expo which is a new event targeting only designers/architects working on commercial projects. With only 1200 attendees over three days it was much less "exciting" than the main venue, but what it lacked in quantity was made up in quality of the attendees. Also, the slower pace meant that we could have longer conversations with the attendees. As this was the first Bamboo Expo we expect that it will grow into a bigger and more influential event in the years to come.
One of our success stories from last year's show was that a high-profile Tokyo gallery took an interest in Martha Sturdy's work. This interest grew into them inviting Martha to hold her own art exhibition in their gallery during this year's Tokyo Designers Week. The exhibition was very well received and some of the galleries clients are now looking to work with Martha. The gallery mainly represents European artists, but the great reception that Martha's work received has made them to want to look at other Canadian designers as well.

BC Wood recently led a group of members on a market development mission to Turkey which included participation at TurkeyBuild in the capital city of Ankara. Product sectors represented included Log Home and Timber frame, Prebuilt Housing, and Remanufactured Lumber Products.
In the Turkish construction materials sector, wood products have approximately 20% market share with consumption mainly in private up-scale villas and some high end commercial resort style development. The consumption of wood in major residential housing projects and light commercial projects is low when compared to concrete and steel (for structure) or PVC (for windows/doors), however, as with most markets in the Eastern European area, the demand for wood is on the rise. Both private and public sectors in Turkey are engaged in a shift (albeit a slow shift) towards a growth in the use of wood products. Industry professionals and consumers alike have a keen interest in wood as a construction material, as was evident during the show in Ankara. The earthquake in 1999 has drawn attention to the importance of timber in construction, however; with the economic impact of the global meltdown, progress has been slow in the area of conveying the attributes of wood and educating key decision makers as to the benefits of using wood in construction. There is without a doubt, an increase in construction taking place right now in Turkey as residents look to build homes on the outskirts of some of the major cities. Accordingly, a select group of builders, developers, and importers are currently involved in projects outside of the main city centres which are being built with wood. During our stay in Turkey, we were able to make contact with many of these industry professionals and discuss opportunities for BC products.
The show itself was very busy, which in the current global market place was encouraging for the members. Although the Ankara show is a more of a regional show (with the main construction show being held in Istanbul in May), it drew attendees from all over Turkey and some surrounding countries. Numerous Architects, Engineers, Builders and Designers engaged in discussions with the BC exhibitors. The outcome of those interactions predominantly showcased the demand and desire for wood, while also highlighting the lack of distribution of products within the Turkish marketplace. In a jointly hosted event with the Turkish Timber Association, members were also able to showcase their products to key importers and building materials distributors located in and around the construction hub of Istanbul. Response from these professionals was again encouraging, as products including Western Red Cedar, Prebuilt Housing, and Log Homes proved to be of high interest for regions all across Turkey, including the coastal regions of the Black Sea.
Where do the sales prospects lie?
A clear demand for wood products exists within the Turkish marketplace. Much of the wood imported into Turkey is from surrounding markets of Russia, Ukraine, and Scandinavia. The key to accessing this demand for BC companies is securing partnership with local wood importers and distributors of other building materials. This process will take some time and investment by BC Wood members and this show in Ankara was a positive step in the right direction. Turkish building professionals are starved of opportunity to partner with Canadian companies and they are motivated to establish relationships with producers of high quality wood products. As with all new and emerging markets, finding the right partner is crucial in gaining market penetration. Turkey's current growth is expected to continue well into the next ten years and those members who continue to put time and effort into the Turkey market will be rewarded with sales and long term partnerships.
What is the market looking for?
WRC Lumber, WRC Shake and Shingles, Hand Crafted Log Homes, MDF, Plywood, Yellow Cedar, Hemlock, Douglas Fir, and Prebuilt Homes.
How do I access these opportunities?
BC Wood will distribute the show leads via the online Wood Supply Network. For more detailed market information contact firstname.lastname@example.com

"A game changing approach is needed in the wood products sector, targeting at least a modest but meaningful penetration of the market, if India is to be a priority market for Canada's wood sector. Based on the successful strategies adopted by New Zealand…Canada should target efforts around securing opportunities representing close to 0.4 million tonnes of sawn wood, which would still represent only 4.5 percent of the market demand," Opportunities for Canadian Forest Products in India – Ace Global Consulting LLP, August 2011.
Over the past year or so, much has been made of the emerging opportunities for BC's forest products in India. BC Wood continues to monitor current market conditions in India and qualify the market intelligence that is being developed. BC's Forestry Innovation and Investment (FII) has also been active in the Indian market by first commissioning a market study and most recently sending their own staff to India to confirm the results of that study. FII is following up these initial efforts by coordinating an Industry mission to India in four weeks' time.
The three day mission led by FII representatives is expected to visit Mumbai and the port of Kandla, the center of the timber market in India. The Industry delegation will meet with timber importers and end-users in order to gain a better understanding of the product requirements of the market and the existing distribution channels. For a copy of the recent report on market potential in India, "Opportunities for Canadian Forest Products in India" by Ace Global Consulting LLP or the itinerary for the up-coming mission, contact Brian Hawrysh at 604-882-7100 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BC Wood is organizing participation at 28th MBC Construction Expo at the SETEC convention centre in Seoul, Korea from January 27-30, 2012. This building and construction show will have over 350 exhibitors and an expected 150,000 attendees. These attendees will include builders, architects, home owners, distributors, and construction material importers. This trade event offers an excellent opportunity for BC Wood members to tap into the Korean market. Members that would benefit from this event include manufacturers and suppliers of remanufactured lumber products, prebuilt homes, kitchen cabinets, log home and timber frame homes, and engineered wood products.
With a deep rooted history and affinity for building with wood, South Korea remains an important export market for British Columbia's value-added wood products. In 2010, South Korea represented British Columbia's fifth largest offshore market with 278,000 m³ of wood product exports. South Korea has experienced strong economic growth and recovery, in light of the recent global downturns, with growing affluence and continuously improving living standards. Korea is far from the labour intensive economy it once was and is now a global leader in design and technological trends. Korean consumers are growing more sophisticated and are looking into higher quality imported products that are environmentally compliant.

The 2011 Global Buyers Mission, held September 8th to 10th, welcomed almost 700 delegates to Whistler for the third year in a row.Many thanks must go to our funding Partners this year including our Platinum Partners: Natural Resources Canada Wood Export Program (CWEP), Forestry Innovation Investment Ltd. (FII), and Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC); our Silver Partners: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau (CSSB); and our Bronze Partners: Industry Canada and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). We were pleased to again have the collaborative effort made by CSSB and the Western Red Cedar Lumber & Export Associations (WRCLA & WRCEA) in recruiting participants and assisting BC Wood with the organization & delivery of the event.
Pre-qualified international buyers came from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Eastern Canada, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. We were pleased that the majority of our buyers were new to the GBM again this year, offering excellent opportunities for Canadian manufacturers to build new business.
We also hosted over 80 North American architects, designers, contractors, developers, engineers and specifiers this year, to participate in our Living & Building with Wood Program, held on Thursday, September 8th and via the LBWW display on the showroom floor for the rest of the event. Architects & Designers also participated in "speed learning sessions" Friday afternoon, with 20 manufacturers exhibiting at the GBM. This was a new activity this year and has received high marks from both the architect community and participating exhibitors.
Minister of Jobs, Tourism & Innovation, the Honourable Pat Bell, joined us Thursday evening at the Roundhouse and then welcomed our delegates and officially opened the showroom Friday morning.
Products on display at the 2011 GBM from 75 exhibitors, represented by over 200 participants included timber frame structures, engineered wood products, treated lumber, windows, doors, mouldings, cabinetry, building systems, flooring, western red cedar products and a variety of other value-added wood building products. 25% of the companies were new to the GBM, offering our returning buyers some additional resources and products not seen at the GBM in the past.
For the past seven years, BC Wood has organized pre and post event site visits and tours for our incoming delegates. This year, the GBM Extended Mission Program included 7 groups that once again toured production facilities and visited construction sites in the lower mainland and the interior of BC to meet participating manufacturers. Besides helping buyers immediately source high quality, innovative and competitively priced wood products, the tours helped build future business relationships by familiarizing potential customers with BC's wood species. We thank the many local companies that made the effort to open their mills and plants for these informative and productive tours.
Held at the Whistler Conference Centre, the GBM continues to be Canada's largest event dedicated to promoting value-added wood producers.
Next GBM scheduled for Whistler, September 6th to 8th, 2012.

A recent wood products conference in Whistler highlighted something that many people already know — that 2011 has been a watershed year for B.C.'s softwood lumber industry.
At Global Buyers Mission, a three day value-added wood sector marketplace, B.C.'s Jobs, Tourism & Innovation Minister Pat Bell said China has for the first time, surpassed the U.S. as top export market for Canada's softwood lumber.
For the past five years, B.C. and the provincial forest sector, with the support of the Canadian government, have been actively marketing B.C. wood products to China. And it's paid off: from January to May, B.C. exported 2.8 million cubic metres to China — more than double last year's volume. Trade missions, demo buildings, technology transfer and conferences like these, are among projects funded to expand China's interest in the forestry industry.
Hosted by the non-profit B.C. Wood, at the Whistler Conference Centre, Global Buyers Mission invited qualified buyers at more than 75 companies from Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, India and Malaysia and brought them together with a cross-section of B.C. businesses who work in the value-added sector.
Qing Deng, of Shanghai Green Garden Wood Co, China's biggest buyer of B.C.'s red cedar, yellow cedar and Douglas fir, was one of many businesses whose hunger for wood could collectively be called voracious.
Speaking through a translator, Deng, whose company imports $5 million yearly, says he only buys from Canada, because this is the only place in the world where this high quality wood is available.
Although the conference is held for the value-added sector, (marketers of log homes, cedar shingles, hardwood flooring, texture-surfaced doors, recycled cedar timber frame, laminated beams etc) it's the 'grey area' exporters who are boosting trade stats selling to China.

Dating Do's & Don'ts
Wear something feminine and classy on the first date. Believe it or not, men notice what a woman wears. Of course, you'll want to show off your fabulous form, but this does not mean dressing like a porn star. A man definitely wants to see your figure, but keep it tasteful. Stiletto heels, a mini skirt and your cleavage spilling out all over so that the poor guy can't even maintain eye contact is not a way to make a good impression. You can still look sexy and appealing without looking trashy. This goes for makeup as well. I have heard countless times from men when giving me feedback on their date that they thought the gal was overly made-up. My own husband tells me often that he doesn't know why I put on makeup because I look so much better without it. Did you realize that a man analyzes a woman on a first date, picturing whether he would take her to a business function or to meet his friends or family? Or if he would want her for the mother of his children? If not, she will probably be just another girl to put in his little black book to call when he wants to have some fun.
Return phone calls. Since I have been working as a matchmaker, I truly feel sorry for all of our men out there in the minefields of the dating world. It takes an awful lot of courage to keep approaching women and asking them out, getting shot down most of the time, and then finally after acquiring a first date, asking her if she "would like to do this again sometime." "Sure," she responds with a smile, "call me." So, our excited and well-intentioned gentleman does just that. He calls her, but gets her voicemail. He leaves a sweet message about what a great time he had with her Saturday night and would she like to see him later in the week. But alas, there is never a return call. She is simply not interested. He is a nerd. He is too short. He is too tall. He likes badminton. He drinks white zinfandel. He has a cat. Whatever the reason, she figures there is no need to call him back because she has NO interest. Well, ladies, here is a news flash! You will appear very mature and send out lots of sparkly good feelings into the universe if you just dial his number on your cell phone and tell him "merci beaucoup" for a fabulous evening, and he was a perfect gentleman. Unfortunately, you reveal, you just do not feel any romantic chemistry, but you do wish him luck in finding the right girl. I understand that it is not easy telephoning someone and rejecting him, especially after he has bought you a lovely dinner, but just do it. You'll get the hang of it, feel empowered and yet civilized at the same time, and eventually wonder why it was so difficult in the past.
Be a good listener. Ladies, if you are serious about attracting a dreamboat into your life, one of the skills that you simply must learn is the art of listening! Now, almost all men subscribe to the myth that women talk too much. What they really mean is they don't get a chance themselves to talk enough. A man loves to talk about himself and his accomplishments, but then again, who doesn't? He needs to know that you are interested in him. If you just go on and on about yourself, showing no interest in him, he will come to the conclusion that you are self-centered and not want to see you again. Sorry, but that's just how it works. And by the way, listening isn't just sitting silent like a statue while the man yammers happily on. Listening is an active pursuit.

Our Story
Contender Retrievers was started in 1992 with a chocolate female named Ellie.
Ellie was purchased from the Des Moines Register. At the time, I had no idea what a field
titled dog even was. Since then, Contender Retrievers has developed into one of the premier breeders of Labradors in the country.
Our dogs do not just excel in competition or in the field as hunters, but are equally at home as pets.

Heritage Gold has produced nothing for years, over promising and under delivering.
BUSINESSDESK: Heritage Gold has moved to clarify its statement earlier this week about the prospects for the Talisman gold resource on the Coromandel Peninsula.
The company put a net present value on the potential value of a mine at the site of A$150 million and described a 12 year project that was a "potentially very robust and highly profitable gold mine", with "potential for a considerable increase in the geological resource"
What the company did not make clear was that this was the outcome of a scoping study, and does not represent a proven resource under the industry standard VALMIN code used for judging resources' known potential.
It should have been noted that the values attributed to the project are not compliant with the VALMIN Code as they are based on conceptual resource estimates," said managing director Peter Atkinson. "The values assumed in the report will be achieved only if the grade and tonnage assumptions are met through the planned work outlined in the Scoping Study Review."
Heritage Gold shares jumped on the news earlier this week, trading at 2.4 cents yesterday, the highest since early October.

ADI's Charge Integrator Amplifiers convert the charge acquired by X-ray or photodiode detectors to a voltage. The channels are composed of CMOS transistors, using typical high input impedance CMOS gates. The integrators generate charge dependent voltages using a range of selectable capacitance values that accommodate a broad range of input charge values. The integrators are followed by single-ended input to differential output voltage amplifiers where offset and low frequency noise voltages are subtracted from the input voltages.
The Analog Filter Wizard™ helps you design a low-pass, high-pass, band-pass or band-stop filter with actual op amps. It then simulates the filter's performance with these op amps in real time. You can ask the tool to optimize for power, noise, or voltage range, and it will pick op amps and passive components appropriately. Or you can adjust the components manually yourself.
The photodiode web tool helps you select and design the best circuit for your application. To use the tool, enter the specifications of your light input, including intensity, spectral band, and the required signal bandwidth. These inputs will narrow down the available photodiode part numbers.

The ADIsimADC tool is an aid to help in the selection of Analog to Digital Converterse (ADC's), perform evaluations and assist with troubleshooting. The tool uses typical data values to mathematically model the general behavior of the selected ADC. It allows a user to apply input signals, set encode (sample) rates and simulate FFT's on a selected ADC. It is useful for checking the SNR, SFDR, SINAD, THD, ENOB etc. of a selected ADC.
ADIsimDAC assists the user with finding Analog Devices' DACs and DAC Application Circuits. It takes user inputs along Typical Parametric Data to sort, select and suggest applicable DAC's, system components and circuit solutions.

ADIsimRF is an easy-to-use RF signal chain calculator. Cascaded Gain, Noise Figure, IP3 and P1dB as well as total power consumption are calculated. The number of stages can be varied up to a maximum of 15. Additional stages can be inserted at any point in teh signal chain and individual stages can be temporarily disabled or deleted. The calculator can be switched between Transmit Mode and Receive Mode where calculations are presented output-referred and input-referred respectively.
The ADIsimPLL design tool is a comprehensive and easy-to-use PLL synthesizer design and simulation tool. All key non-linear effects that can impact PLL performance can be simulated, including phase noise, Fractional-N spurs, and anti-backlash pulse. ADIsimPLL design tool eliminates time-consuming iterations from the PLL/synthesizer development process.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Looking at the broad leaves plant in the middle of the picture,between the butterfly bush and the sumac...Found this yesterday. It is about 10 feet tall. It is growing on a hill made entirely of rock with a thin covering of soil. The base of the stem is woody. Leaves are about 18" wide at the widest point. No branches, but from my vantage point, seems to have a second stem coming off the first at the very base of the plant. Wondering if I should get rid of it before it gets any bigger. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like a paulownia sapling. |
- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Mon, Jul 21, 14 at 10:59
Yes, you want to get rid of it. Paulownias can grow 10-15' per year, and spread prolifically by seed. They are considered invasive in many states. |
On the other hand, if you like the big leaves you could coppice it, i.e. cut it to the ground, annually. It will then never flower and make nuisance seed but will produce huge lush jungly leaves. |
Yes, Paulownia. Dreadful thing and I would not recommend keeping it for any reason because if you leave then the next person would not continue the coppice and then it would spread seeds. That compound leaf on the left side of the picture could be Tree of Heaven. Would have to see a leaflet a little closer. |

I main jungle/top lane ( can play all champs for both) looking for duo and a team looking to practice late night, add you ig, just hit me up if ur looking to do either
I have knowledge of all roles, prefer top or support. I just want other people to play with that aren't trolls. I would actually like to enjoy this game, and as posting this now I prefer late nights as well
I play late as well. I prefer top, but am strong mid and support as well. Play everything, though. Would love to get on a team. So if we can start one... I'm in. Want to play a few matches together.
