To celebrate the forthcoming release of his debut solo CD Second Face (Empire Musicwerks/ Damage/BMG Records), DANNY WOOD kicked off a series of live appearances with a concert on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on Saturday, April 5th. WOOD unveiled part of his stage act and new rock band when he performed at the AVP Volleyball Event for a crowd estimated as between 3,000 to 4,000. The former New Kid On The Block star has spent the last ten years developing his own Damage Records label and producing other artists (Joey McIntyre, Mark Wahlberg), and is now ready to show the world his true rock ‘n roll heart.
“It was great to get out there and perform again,” WOOD said. “I was not nervous at all, and it was a good first gig. “In New Kids, I toured all over the world and played at sold out arenas filled with screaming fans. Now I want to move on and show people who I am today through my music.” With the release of SECOND FACE, WOOD demonstrates his maturity as a singer and songwriter; he also produced the album with Pete Masitti (Hootie and the Blowfish, Julio Iglesias Jr).
Although a backlash of having been a teen idol sometimes precedes WOOD, it does not bother him because “I understand that New Kids were shoved down America’s throats and the image that goes with that is frustrating. But I think I have proven on this album that I can do something else and do it well, and it’s been long enough since that craziness ended for people to give me a chance, and give the record a listen.”
Apparently, people are doing just that: the first single off the album, “When The Lights Go Out,” is already getting great reaction at radio. Tampa/Orlando station Citrus 95.3 (WXCV) reports incredible response to the song on their “Hot 7 At 7” request show, where the tune has remained in the #1 slot for 15 consecutive nights, garnering 24 spins a week and blazing ahead of other charting artists such as John Mayer, The Goo Goo Dolls, Coldplay, Matchbox 20 and No Doubt. “How thrilling is that?” asks WOOD. “The single isn’t even officially released yet and already people are asking to hear it.”
The release date for SECOND FACE has been pushed back to May 20 to allow WOOD to complete a promotional video, and include some extra music on the album. Originally slated to contain 14 cuts, WOOD has become such a prolific songwriter that four additional tunes have been added to the CD as unlisted, special bonus “hidden tracks.” The package also contains an extensive 16-page booklet complete with song lyrics, photos and bio. Additional concert dates will be announced shortly. WOOD’s new website, www.dannywood.com, is now completed.

Walpole, MA -- January 26, 2003 – Before you spend your hard-earned dollars on inferior furniture, find out the real facts of what goes into quality wood furniture. Ed McDonough, owner of Boston Accent Furniture, reveals all the secrets in his new book, “7 Steps to Buying Wood Furniture You’ll Love.”
Between the covers, McDonough states “The educated consumer is the person that always gets the greatest value for their dollar!” The book’s seven-step process educates the reader on the different types of furniture, the materials used to make it, the manufacturing techniques and how to spot the good from the bad. The goal is to instruct the reader how to determine the quality of furniture they want to purchase, by teaching them how it’s made, and then how to get it at a fair price.
The book also details the difference between standard production furniture and high quality handcrafted custom furniture. It exposes how quality goes down in production furniture as the speed to produce it increases. It arms the reader up front with all the knowledge they need to make the right decision.
As a bonus, McDonough has developed a simple process to guide the reader through determining what style of furniture will best fit their home and lifestyle. Here both functionality and décor come into play. The lesson concludes with a simple exercise that determines the “Buyer’s Index”, directing the reader to the appropriate furniture market to shop.
To close out the reading, Step 7 – Understand How Furniture Stores Sell, enlightens the reader on the techniques retailers use to “sell you” and why. It discusses how furniture prices are determined and how major furniture manufacturers impose a Minimum Advertised Price directly to the retailer, which causes the consumer’s price to go up!
Included in the back of the book is the Furniture Buyer’s Checklist to keep the reader on track when making their purchasing decision. This, along with over 25 secrets shared by the author, will lead to many successful purchases of quality wooden furniture.

December 3 2003--The project is organized by MVK Holding Company, the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, the Union of Timber Manufacturers and Exporters of Russia and Centrlesexpo Company.
With active participation of the Russian Ministry of Industry, Science and Technologies, the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Economic Development and Commerce.
Supported by the Administration of the Russian President, the Russian Government, the Sate Duma and the Federal Council of the Russian Federal Assembly.
The Russian Government pays special attention to development of the timber and woodworking industries in this country. Legal regulations concerning these industries are being revised and improved; a new project version of the Timber Codex of the Russian Federation is being finished.
However, development of the timber industry is hampered by insufficient equipment of timber enterprises with up-to-date efficient machinery and technologies. The existing production facilities for logging and value-added wood processing are outdated, and thus, it is impossible to use vast resources of this Russian sector effectively. A large part of timber resources depreciates and perishes.
All the problems that the timber industry faces can be solved with the help of a large-scale modernization, re-equipment of plants and creation of new advanced production facilities.
An international conference “Actual Challenges of Development of Logging and Value-added Wood Processing” will be held as part of the exhibition WOODEX-2003 December 9-12, 2003. The conference is organized on the initiative of the Union of Timber Manufacturers and Exporters of Russia and the Russian Ministry of Industry, Science and Technologies in order to draw attention of Russian and foreign investors and manufacturers of equipment for the timber industry to the problems in this sector.
The plenary session (on December 9) will include speeches by members of the Russian Government (B.A. Aleshin, I.I. Klebanov), heads of ministries and government institutions (G.O. Gref, S. G. Mitin, V. V. Usov), heads of regional administration (V. M. Kress), heads of branch unions (M.V. Tatsun), as well as scientists, businessmen from the CIS, Baltic and other countries. The floor will also be given to heads of international organizations of the timber industry, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the European Organization of the Sawmill Industry, FEFCO, PFC and the International Financial Corporation.
