The gentleman is misinformed. The wood in the pic is Wenge however.

Congrats on the job offers gents!

You guyr discussion peaked my interest so I learned from here:Gilmer Wood Company Species Page apparently Wenge can be called "Pallissandre". That said I don't think we should be making shit from critically endangered trees:Wenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. That said African Pallisander apparently can also be known as Madagascar rosewood and is available here: http://www.hearnehardwoods.com/xcart/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=147

was there an envoy from the Imperial Maryland Fishmonger Patrol?

No, but the IMFP is also interested in the construction of a new garage for the FPV (Fishmonger Patrol Vehicle), so dependent upon their approval of the finished PRP (Parlour Room Project), they may be in touch as well.

The problem is that there really is no set in stone nomenclature. Some woods are called various names depending on where you are, and in many cases they're just misleading.

Wenge is not a slow growth wood, and therefor is now being farmed like many other endangered wood species. So it's not all bad.

I was informed of numerous (i.e., additional) paperwork that I need to complete by next week for mentoring a prospective teacher. I'd be perfectly fine about them, except for the fact that the prospective teacher and I were informed of this required paperwork today, as opposed to few months ago when I started mentoring the said prospective teacher.

Then was reminded that I need to develop and have a professional development plan in writing for regulatory purposes.

spent the day (and most of last night) modifying my thesis work to output pressures and velocities for waves. I'm stoked to be working on this stuff again:

Congrats from the man who once found a slide rule imposing.

Submitted written acceptance for my offer of employment, and all supporting documents. Looked at apartments online.

You deserve a couple [more] beers for that effort!

Took the day off since the President is scheduled to have a fund raiser at Gloria Stefan's house (she lives across the waterway) and I did not want to risk the traffic jam on the causeway's leading to Miami Beach. So I basically did nothing at all which in my book is a good thing.

brain tumor, maybe?

Could this have anything to do with the semi famous local artist?
