Wanting a little milder entertainment? Why not visit the popular Orlando Museum of Art and explore its collection of contemporary American art, or the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art for its jaw-dropping Tiffany collection. Browse the Harry P. Leu Gardens, fifty acres of tropical and exotic gardens, and be sure to note the whimsical sculptures and the butterfly garden.

Supporting Civil Rights for Atheists and the Separation of Church and State
Some Of My Activist Targets For 2012
"Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through. Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind" – Ray Charles
This year, in my capacity as Georgia State Director for American Atheists, Inc, I will bring new fights against those who would not only abrogate the First Amendment, but do so to the detriment of our children. There are two organizations that I will be focusing on this year, because they have chosen our public schools as their venue for proselytism, targeting the impressionable minds of our children and doing so, quite often, without the knowledge of their parents. Make no mistake, these will be difficult fights, as these organizations are large, well-funded and very influential in our schools. The fight will be worth it, though, because what is at stake is our future.
Here are two groups I will be targeting this year:
This is a huge organization with tentacles in many different areas. The specific area I will be targeting is called "The Good News Club," which works within the public school system, using teachers as part of their propaganda. From their website:
"Good News Club® is a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship® in which trained teachers meet with groups of children in schools, homes, community centers, churches, apartment complexes, just about anywhere the children can easily and safely meet. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson using colorful materials from CEF Press. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture memory, a missions story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson's theme.
As with all CEF ministries, the purpose of Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living."
You may be asking yourself how the hell can this be legal. Well, right now it is. According to the Supreme Court,
"It is legal to allow Good News Club to meet in school facilities. On June 11, 2001, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that Child Evangelism Fellowship could have access to public school facilities to conduct Good News Clubs. The decision stated that Bible clubs such as the Good News Club must be given the same access to school facilities accorded any other non-school-related outside group."
But Justice David Souter disagrees, and wrote,
"It is beyond question that Good News intends to use the public school premises not for the mere discussion of a subject from a particular, Christian point of view, 'but for an evangelical service of worship calling children to commit themselves in an act of Christian conversion."
Not everyone agrees with the SCOTUS ruling on this, and neither do I. Another group I will be tackling is,
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes
This is another group that works within the confines of the public schools, and many of you who have children in high school are familiar with their magazines, which are distributed on school grounds. From their website:
"The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is touching millions of lives… one heart at a time. Since 1954, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. FCA is the largest Christian sports organization in America. FCA focuses on serving local communities by equipping, empowering and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ.
(Their vision is) To see the world impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches.
(Their mission is) To present to athletes and coaches and all whom they influence the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church."
I will also be taking on First Amendment issues with individual school boards within the state of Georgia whenever the church oversteps its bounds and infiltrates the minds of our children by doing the work of the church on school grounds. The US Constitution guarantees freedom of religion as well as freedom from religion, and that includes preaching to a captive audience.
Legislative Fights…
I will also be taking on Governor Deal and the Georgia Supreme Court on the "In God We Trust" license plate sticker issue. The state has decided since the SCOTUS has ruled on the "In God We Trust" motto that it leaves open the allowance for the state to plaster this insulting slogan everywhere they can. The problem is that there are many citizens who do not trust in a god, and forcing them to pay money to not have this sticker on their car is not only a violation of the First Amendment, but it's also extortion.
I will be taking on Governor Deal and the Georgia Supreme Court on issues surrounding the inclusion of the Ten Commandments in official state documents and displays. I will also be addressing individual city and town governments in their use of religious invocations in municipal meetings throughout the state.
It's Time To Step It Up…
Comments about herding cats notwithstanding, we need to get more involved in what is being inflicted upon our children. It's wonderful to sit at our computers and voice our disdain at the religious right's unceasing efforts to Theocratize our country and put prayer back in the schools and return to the absolute lie of Creationism in our science curriculum. I do it all the time. It is a great outlet and keeps us in touch with what is going on in the world. But that's the problem. It's going on in the world…
The Christian Church may be a disorganized gaggle of thousands of different denominations, but the religious right is well-organized, well funded and they are out there making a difference, winning local elections, getting on school boards and are very influential in local politics. This is a strategy that they have been using for over fifty years and they are very good at it.
We need to get in the trenches and fight fire with fire. We need to run for local offices, get on school boards and start becoming influential ourselves in our cities and towns. If we don't, we are going to end up getting steamrolled into irrelevancy. We have momentum, and we need to carry it through.
I will be working with local Freethought groups on some of these issues and will, of course, keep you posted…
I used to be in FCA in high school (before I knew any better), and even went to one of their summer camps. They absolutely deserve to be one of the organizations we are fighting against; their techniques are manipulative, particularly when considering the impressionable ages they target. (Again, I speak from experience.)
I was in fca too! Sadly, it took me much longer to "know better". I've just became an Atheist and I'm happy I did so but must say, it does not seem that it's safe to say so. I work in public education, people talk about God and Jesus all the time but if you're an Atheist you feel that there is little chance for others to be ok with your choice.I'm convinced Atheism is liberating and it's very positive as well. But even more than that, I believe people should have a choice and that's hard for young people to do when the playing field is tilted in favor of Theism. This struggle in Georgia is a tough hill to climb, but you have to hope reason will triumph in the end. That's probably wishful thinking though.
I want to commend The Georgia Director for his continuing service to the cause of separation of church and state.
I would expect the director of my states American Atheist branch to be so prolific in his or her communications with the membership.
I live in California a state that never takes the back seat to progressive ideas and causes (sorry about the prop 8 thing, we'll take care of that)
But to regularly receive updates, challenges and reports from so deep in the south where retaliation against atheists are not only common but expected, well I for one gleam a great deal of encouragement from such a spokesperson. Thank you.
I would love to be involved in this movement for GA. I am a GA college student at....Shorter University a Baptist institution. They are very big on FCA and pretty much anything God related. They are also the college that forced all of its faculty to sign a "lifestyle statement" agreeing that they would not condone homosexuality, have premarital sex, or drink in public. Please let me know if there is anything I can do or if a certain Atheist group is involved. I cannot find an Atheist group in Rome.
Also in my religion class our textbook has incorrect information about Charles Darwin. Is there anything I can do about that?
Send me an email to [email protected]. I'd like to discuss this further.
Why are you going to school there and paying money to advance the world view and belief system you are so averse to? I am confused. They are a private school and as such, have every right to propagate their belief system. Those that disagree can work somewhere else or attend another school. There are many other public school options for you to choose from.
Why in the HELL are you at a Baptist School, with all the choices that the GA University system has to offer. Here is the great thing about being in the USA....you have a choice, so leave that school! Are we all in shock that a Baptist School teaches religion? GASP!!!! So please get yourself into another school.
I'd like to see an alternative offered. Why don't American Atheists come up with alternative programs that are secular? There are plenty of wonderful secular childrens stories that teach about right and wrong behavior that could be the basis for instruction. There are plenty of volunteer projects the kids could get involved in that teach them that sharing their time to help others is rewarding. There are teamwork exercises, ropes courses and games, that teach them how to work cooperatively as a team rather than competitively as a team as sports programs do. Many parents are working 2 jobs to make ends meet, there is a great need for after school programs, AND kids are NOT learning important life skills, from their churches, or from home, or from school. After school programs, that are totally secular, could make a huge difference for our nations children.
Oh and by life skills, I mean those self skills; self motivation, self direction, self discipline, self respect (can't respect others if you don't respect yourself), self control.....
Christian groups are exceedingly creepy. They chant too much. Eyes glazed, they actually force you to hold hands in a weirdly repressed House O' Jesus. Hungry? They serve up Kumbaya pie with a dollop of narcissism because it's all "ME, ME, ME...and biblegod". "Other" centered? Oh. My. Science. They "LOVE" you and then they "LOVE" bomb you and who the Hell wants to be "love bombed" by a sweaty guy wearing white tube socks with brown sandals or maybe it's dark tube socks with white tennis shoes? In Jesus camp, the shirts are always tucked way, way into high-waisted denim shorts and then there's the unholy and relentless use of the fanny pack with terrifying Jesus-themed t-shirts. Even if they "mean well", a jar of mustard probably also means well and would do a better job of keeping you out of danger. Besides, wide-eyed Christian campers insist that you kiss Hank's ass even if you've never met this "Hank" guy and neither has anyone else. According to legends and lore, if you kiss Hank's ass, He'll give you a million dollars. If you don't kiss Hank's ass, He'll kick the shit out of you. I'd rather vacation in a Maoist Reeducation Camp even if every day of my vacation I wake up to a nasty foreman banging two metal pots together over my tiny bunk bed; Maoist torture ends in the here and now. Between giggles, rascal Hank has built a sadistic torture chamber for all eternity. Peace, :-)
One more thing IF you organize a youth group don't allow it to become anti-Christian or anti-religion, don't preach atheism, that there is no God. God should be left out of the discussion altogether. Make it truly secular. If todays youth could be taught to take one idea seriously, and actually practice it, as in: "Do not do to others what you would take unkindly from them." this world would be in a whole lot better place. Call the club the Golden Rule Club. The first expression of it I have heard is from the pre-Christian Greeks, Confucius used it, Rabbi Hillel said it is the whole of Torah, all else is commentary, Jesus used it, it has appeared in similar form in most if not all religions and societies. A truly secular idea.
Colonel, shoot me an email to [email protected].
i wasn't a Christian until I was 32 years old, but when I went to high school and college at public institutions, I rubbed elbows with a lot of these people who were involved in FCA and Youth Fellowship. i never had the desire to go to any of their meetings and I was never coerced to go. there is no captive audience unless you decide to go to a meeting and then you can leave the meeting if you like. I was asked to join other clubs in school, debate, annual, FTA, and they all had their rules and regulaations, but you could always unjoin. People should be able to choose what they want to be a member of. That's what freedom is all about. Maybe you could establish some Fellowship of Atheists clubs and educate people on your beliefs. You have that right also. Go for it. Expand education, don't limit it.
Al, there are many worthy targets in existance out there. Sadly, these groups seem to be growing louder and more bold with each day. Too many people ignore them or write them off as fanatical; however the grim truth is the now seem to have the ear and backing of some prominent members of the GOP?
It is scary to think how powerful these groups will be in 5-10 yrs without advocates for separation of church and state. Activism has never been more important.

UConn center stoked for new year
Connecticut's Kiah Stokes, top blocks a shot by Indiana of Pennsylvania's Talen Watson (1) as Connecticut's Breanna Stewart defends during the second half of a college exhibition basketball game in Storrs, Conn., Friday, Nov. 2, 2012. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill) |
STORRS — Mental images can be powerful entities, possessing the ability to both inspire and deflate. They can buoy one's spirits in a time of need, or they can haunt someone to the point of debilitation.
And once they become seared in a person's memory, their impact is largely determined by the mental toughness or open mindedness of the person affected.
As such images relate to the UConn women's basketball team, sophomore center Kiah Stokes will have to exhibit a lot more mental toughness this season than she did last year, and Coach Geno Auriemma will have to keep an open mind.

We believe that cattle should be free range and graze on grass rather than be cooped up in feedlots. In our opinion, this makes for a higher quality product the way that nature intended.

DC Super Heroes Customs Blog III
I've decided to do this in a monthly blog with all of my Super Heroes stuff news, rather than just a vote, kind of like Bug's. Once again, I've given it another new title. I'm an inconsistent person. Deal with it. :P
Contents |
Clear this upEdit
Last month didn't really get a clear winner in one category, so they're going head to head in a mini-poll.
I'm working on a third wave of custom sets based more on the Justice League. I haven't worked out exactly who will appear, but here is what I have so far:
- Batman
- Superman
- The Flash
- Wonder Woman
- Wonder Girl
- Supergirl
- Aquaman
- Brainiac
- Lois Lane
- Clark Kent
- Gorilla Grodd
- Black Manta
- Ares
- Green Lantern
- Martian Manhunter
- Cyborg
- Darkseid
- Parademon
I only have one done, and here is an image of that, just as a teaser I guess.
They're all done. Look them up on my customs template if you care. :P
Comic NewsEdit
I'm still hoping for an August release, but I still haven't gotten the designs completed for a few characters. I'll post character and location designs here, and when I'm finished, maybe even the comic. I need to take pictures first though, so sorry about that.

Agriculture & Food
Most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. A family's plot of land has to provide for their nutritional and economic needs.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced.
Distributing food is necessary in times of crisis, and we always try to procure food from local suppliers to save money, ensure faster delivery and support of the local economy. Learn more about the success of this model in Niger (PDF) ▸
In addition to emergency responses, we quickly focus on long-term solutions that strengthen harvests and livestock for the long-term. Mercy Corps works with families to ensure quality inputs, smart land use, good crop yields and a fair price at local markets.

In Timor-Leste (East Timor), this year's weather has caused more serious problems than ever encountered in living memory and beyond. The dry season was meant to start last March.
Indonesia: Chocolate starts out tasting like vanilla yoghurt — who knew? October 23, 2010
Whenever I travel, I'm always sure to pack an emergency supply of chocolate. But until yesterday, when I saw cacao trees for the first time and talked to cacao famers in Indonesia about the help they are getting from Mercy Corps, I'd never really thought about where it comes from.

Is there any possibility for "fast dialing" with Your app? In "normal" phone I can long press number and it calls to some number. So I would to long press (>2s) somebody's face and call without any question.
Luca, Please check the FAQ (I have just updated it). You should find the answer to both questions. If not, please let me know. Felipe
Hi Felipe, compliments for your great application. Plese don't kill me if i'm gonna ask you questions probably allready made. :P Could you please tell me: - if i can choose/manage the widget 'cause i prefer "call" it when i need it without have one desktop less - if it's possible take off the connection web to www.crochik.com every time i turn on the N900.
Thank's a lot.
Great App, thank you!
Unfortunately the widget consitently crashes when I go online to skype facebook.
Feature request: Ability to change the sorting in the window to select contacts for a group. I'd like sorting by last name.
serif: please make sure you have the latest version of both (you may need to install them from extras-devel).
Please post to this thread if you need any further help: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=57162
i can't use fastsms through mycontacts. I was enabled it in settigs-routting, but when i went to contact and tried to send a message can't get it work.
I used the instructions after PR1.3 and now able to view the contacts. Sometimes the group ringtone is not working and everytime I load the application it changes the ringtone set for the active profile to crochik-general.
You will find instructions on how to change the configuration at: http://maemo.crochik.com/home/mycontacts/how-to/extras-version-on-pr1-3
@Mohammed: that is probably the issue on your phone (PR1.3 + old version of mycontacts). Follow the instructions above and let me know.
I might sound silly, but anyone can help me in importing my contacts? i have 1000 contacts
@Joe: I am sorry you couldn't get it to work. Please check the announcement thread (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=57162) for tips on how to set it up. You can also file a bug report, send me an e-mail or simply post questions to the thread. Felipe
@kristinof: I sent you an e-mail and also replied to you on the mycontacts tmo announcement thread. Please let me know if you didn't get it. Feel free to e-mail me @ firstname.lastname@example.com.
One update though: it seems that in some scenario qt mobility contacts will not report online status when mycontacts get started automatically on boot (all the contacts on the widget will have a border with the same color of the widget border). I am working to figure out the details and fix it on a new release. You should still see the contact status after clicking on it and if you shutdown the application and restart it manually the widget should start reporting the contacts status again.
Argh, it's me one more time..... I tested the IM status and it's not working, I had a look at my contacts numbers and adresses... in the N900 list I do have 3 phone numbers or more and email adresses also IM adresses , in your app, for those same contacts, I do find only the phone numbers, sometimes email but never the IM adress. it is just like if the app was unable to load those datas, even if I reboot my device, nothing changes. Another strange thing is that sometimes, the last 2 digits on phone numbers are hidden by thos picto on the right side of numbers.. however, I still use it, too cool your app, really. kristinof
@Felipe : so, I must admit you are great, sorry for my question I should have made tests before anoying you...one more time,many thanks for your app, realy good job...oh just an idea .. could you have a contact with Stefanos Harhalakis the author of DrLaunch in order to make the pictures rotate while changing landscape to portrait mode....it could be a realy good collaboration...isn't it....hey..realy many thanks
@kristinof: The widget show the contact status by changing the color of a thin border around the contact.
- green: online
- yellow: multiple online accounts with different status
- gray: away
- black (invisible): offline
- color assigned to applet border: contact does not have any online accounts attached to it
Sorry, don't take about my previous comment...it was for another apa.....about yours, juste one thing is missing maybe , the IM status, it will be perfect with it added..thank you for this app..and sorry for the mistake I made posting comment for another app... ;-)
Many thanks for this app, really great .. juste one or two thing that can be improved maybe.... 1) would it be possible to have one button (the last one for example..)to switch to another "page" of apps, this way it could be the easiest way to have more than 4 desks.... 2) it could be great if it was possible to move apps in the administration board...
Any way, good job really, one more time many thanks....
The starting after boot will be fixed with the next release. For now if you want to disable it you can find instructions here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=784830&postcount=284
Please feel free to drop me a note if you need more details. Felipe
love this app, installed through faster app, works like a charm, but why it starts up on main desktop when phone had a reboot? i prefer starting the app myself , can u set this as option?
I am sorry to inform that there is a problem with the extras repository and you won't find the application on the application manager until it is fixed. Clicking the "install green arrow" will not work either.
Unfortunately for now the only option is to enable and install from the other repositories (extras-devel or extras-testing) or download the deb file and install the dependencies "manually".
More instructions on how to install at: http://maemo.crochik.com/home/mycontacts/install
Can someone please help - I have been trying to install this app on my N900 from the Application Manager but I can NOT find it in there (searched in the Desktop section and also the All section but not there).
Does that mean it is still in the Extras-Devel Repo or am I doing something silly?
If only there were way to assign ring tones to individual contacts, that would be awesome.
I really liked the functionality of it, but in the end removed it as it consumed a significant amount of memory. It's also a touch slower than using the native contact routines, though I could live with that if I had my memory back ;-)
[Note: I have a lot of contacts, which might be part of the problem]

Une mission bénévole
Une mission bénévole posté par Experience Himalayan Nepal
Publié le : 7 déc. 2012
Spend your days experiencing traditional farming at its best. Set deep in the district of Chitwan where you can get the chance try your hand at traditional farming. Every wanted to milk a buffalo or plant rice the hard way. Even get behind two oxen and a wooden plough to see just how farming has remained the same for centuries in the rural heart land of Nepal.
Description of Placement- This is a placement for people who want to see the hard life of real Nepal, you will get the opportunity to go to a place where the many things have changed over the last hundred years but the hardships of farming have remained the same. Live alongside the family and help them work in the flatlands of Nepal. Depending on the season will see you do many different jobs from milking the buffalo to planting rice the old way. It's not for the faint hearted but it shows the real differences in today's world.
Placement Location- The location for this placement is a small village called Ganganagar set deep in the district of Chitwan in the South of Nepal. Its sub tropical weather allows rice to grow in abundance which provides the stable diet of many Nepalese. Nearby is the Chitwan National park where you can get th chance to view crocodiles, rhinos and if you're lucky the tigers of Asia. It's a small chance but you can see firsthand the constant borders of man and nature surviving side by side.
Accommodation- Will be provided by the local families in the village with each one carefully selected so at least one member of the family speaks good English in order that you can communicate effectively. Also you will find that the local families in the home stay programme have been chosen because they also have good standing in the community and can introduce you to the traditional Nepalese village life.

'Ultimately disappointing' |
Saturday, 12 May 2012 22:07 |
Mdot, Zack Ryder, future commenters...
The reason I used the phrase 'ultimately disappointing' is precisely because of the things Mdot mentioned - almost making the semi-finals of the Champions League, the way the last month/six weeks have gone. I take it as a compliment that you place such stock in our predictions but really...they're just predictions.
The phrase wasn't an indictment on the club as much it was trying to illustrate the vibe that's currently surrounding them...which even the most optimistic would struggle to describe as good, I think. A President and Coach taking flak from fans, the usual unsettling transfer rumours, a sense of what might have been, etc. I refuse to count the Taça da Liga (a tournament invented by and for television executives) as a proper competition, but maybe that's just me...
As for insinuating Sporting bias - I've written stuff this season ripping Sporting for some stuff they've done. The way Domingos was cast aside was embarrassing, definitely. So were some of the performances. I think if you go back and read/listen that I made that clear...
Also on the UEFA licence - those clubs can't apply now, the deadline to do so was in December.

Growing up to 150 feet tall, the Eastern white pine tree is a hallmark of the Maine landscape. The tallest tree in eastern North America, Eastern whites were once known as "mast pines" and were reserved for the British Royal Navy.
Luckily for Hancock Lumber CEO Kevin Hancock, they also make one heck of a TV tray.
Bolstered by increased international sales of their Eastern white pine to locations like Canada, China and Pakistan, Hancock Lumber was named 2011 Exporter of the Year by the Maine International Trade Center.
Growing demand for Maine wood products on the international market have increased sales of "appearance grade" woods like Eastern white pine, the only species of tree that Hancock handles.
Prized by foreign manufacturers as a rustic, decorative wood, Eastern white pine is used in everything from siding and edging to paneling, furniture and, yes, television dinner trays.
Hancock credits the increased international sales to a growing foreign manufacturing sector that is becoming more discerning about the quality of their raw materials.
"Manufacturers have specific characteristics they need in wood, and that species might not be abundant in a place like China. A lot of things are being assembled in China, but they don't necessarily have the right raw materials available," says Hancock.
The recognition as exporter of the year was a welcome surprise for the company, which has only been exporting in earnest since 2007.
Two factors contributed to the company's decision to expand into the international market, according to Hancock: the erosion of the North American housing market and increased global demand for American wood products. "We didn't create the new market, the new market started to make itself available and we took advantage of it," says Hancock.
Since 1848, Hancock Lumber has made a name as one of the leading manufacturers of lumber for the domestic housing market. Employing 200 in the companies's sawmills in Casco, Bethel and Pittsfield, Hancock saw over 50 million boards of Eastern white pine pass through its mills in 2011. "We are one of the largest pine manufactures in the Northeast. I think our size has definitely been a factor," says Hancock.
While approximately two-thirds of Hancock's business comes from its 10 retail locations across Maine and New Hampshire, the company's sawmill operations have made great strides in introducing their unique, made-to-order product in the international market.
"There are a lot of different species of wood that compete with ours, but Eastern white pine typically has a list of characteristics that users like: It's very white, it has a crisp, bright appearance and the knot configuration has a rustic flavor to it," making the product perfect for "lake or mountain homes, cottages and rustic living," says Hancock.
Hancock's export of Eastern white pine has grown rapidly in the last five years and now accounts for roughly 25% of its sales. "It's gone from being essentially zero to one out of every four boards we produce [are bound] for export," he says.
In trying to market the species to overseas manufacturers, Hancock embraced a bold selling point: total customization. "Within our manufacturing operations we've [established] a culture of flexibility where we've really been able to identify customer's needs and tailor our manufacturing processes to be able to make their products," says Hancock. "We've just been very willing to reinvent our products and adapt them to these markets to diversify our customer base. It takes volume and it takes a certain mindset as well because it definitely requires changing your manufacturing [processes]."
Hancock is one of the few remaining lumber companies still growing its own trees, with 12,500 acres of timberland in Cumberland and Oxford counties to its name. Hancock says the familiarity with their sole species of lumber has allowed the company to become experts in its growing, milling and marketing. "We are a fully integrated operation. We're growing the trees, manufacturing the lumber and doing retail," Hancock says.
Mainebiz spoke with Hancock recently about the marketability of the prized pine. The following is an edited transcript.
Mainebiz: Canada has long been a leading lumber exporter. How was Hancock able to break into this established market and make the country your leading importer of Eastern white pine?
Kevin Hancock: Yes, traditionally lumber has flowed the other way, but Canada is a large market. Eastern white pine is just not readily available in Canada; there are not enough resources in terms of trees and manufacturers. Framing lumber would be a different story because there is not a significant need to export it to Canada, but our particular product line has a place there. The Canadian market would be more like the American market in that it is [used] primarily in housing [whereas] markets like Mexico, China and Europe are primarily manufacturing.
Has a slumping housing market and trend toward smaller houses/renovation over new construction affected your business?
The short answer is yes. With fewer homes being built, the housing market is roughly 40% the size it was in 2005, and the homes that are being built are smaller so the demand in housing is dramatically different than it would have been five to seven years ago. As far as renovation, yes, for sure, because our product is commonly used as trim or casing, or for paneling, cabinetry or shelving.
Can you explain your strategy for expanding into the global market? Has there been an over-arching strategy?
It's just something that tends to tip. What's happened is that once we've gotten out into the global market, one market has led us to another and it tends to keep building on itself. If certain markets are growing, we take advantage of that. Right now we are doing some work in Japan and [looking at] Mexico.
We're not really looking to create markets — we're just trying to be globally aware and see and access the largest possible number of market so we can pick [those] that are the best fit for our customers and our company. When we pick an export client, it's not just to say we did it, it's because at this point in time this particular [market] is a more profitable destination for that product. Focusing on export opportunities has given us a bigger menu of clients to select from.
What are some examples of uses of Eastern white pine in the growing Chinese market?
In China, our market is in manufacturing. We have one customer that makes frames using little strips of pine and they like the product because it doesn't warp or twist or anything. Another Chinese customer makes TV tables, furniture, shelving, tabletops and countertops. They like it because it's workable and holds stain well.
Does Eastern white pine have the potential to be a Maine legacy product like blueberries, lobsters or potatoes?
At the consumer level, probably not. The big difference is that lobsters and blueberries are for public consumption, they are consumer products. Ours tends to be more secondary, we're selling to builders and manufactures so I don't think the typical consumer outside of Maine would necessarily distinguish between Eastern white pine and other products.
