Hi Travis.
The formatting looks good to me. Nothing funny happens to the title when I scroll down and back up. Perhaps you have fixed it?

I picked up a good book on green building this weekend that has some information about bamboo. I will bring it to class today if I remember.
Hey Travis.
i just thought this site had some cool pictures.

Hi Travis.
I was looking at this site on the Queens university webpage and there is a professor Dr. David Turke who is researching bamboo and i thought maybe you could contact him by email.

Thanks. This stuff helps a lot.
Travis.
You should stop by bamboo world in chilliwack, turn on annis road from hwy 1 and follow the signs to the nursury. I stopped by there once and it was pretty informative. You should be able to get lots of information from the horticulturists relating to growth and care for bamboo.
Hey Travis;
I found this website regarding different types of bamboo and what these different types of bamboo are best used for. Hopefully it is useful.

I was perusing the web and I found this interesting International Bamboo Building Design Competition here in B.C.
http://www.blogger.com/posts.g?blogID=3171499013501667854&label=&searchType=CURRENT&txtKeywords=&numPosts=25
There are also links to other articles on strategic sustainable development. I hope it helps.
Nicole, I cannot get this link to work. I think you have posted the link to the search page.
While looking for the competition that you spoke of I found this blog that has "1000s of things made of bamboo". It might be inspiring for Travis:
