New Contracts Expands Ikea/Sauder Relationship
Tuesday March 25th, 2014 - 4:58PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Ikea US announced today announced that it awarded current supplier Sauder Woodworking Co. a five-year contract. Sauder has been manufacturing kitchen cabinets for Ikea US. Under terms of the new contract, Sauder will produce four furniture families for Ikea US including bedroom furniture, office, entertainment and children's storage furniture.
Expansion of the Ikea/Sauder relationship is a business decision that has environmental benefits, the parties acknowledged. Increased sourcing in the United States will enable Ikea to shorten transport distance between the manufacturing site and stores, thereby reducing carbon emissions, the retailer emphasized.
The partnership will create at least 150 new jobs and involve an equipment investment of over $13 million by Sauder, Ikea noted.
Sauder has been a supplier to Ikea US since 2007, the retailer pointed out.
"We have been successfully supplying Ikea its AKURUM kitchen cabinets for the last seven years, so when Ikea was looking for North American partners to help them sustainably supply their North American stores with quality furniture, they looked to Sauder," Kevin Sauder, president and CEO of Sauder Woodworking in a statement announcing the new contract. "Our teams have worked together closely to provide a great value to the consumer."
Rob Olson, CFO, Ikea US, added, "Ikea strives for long-term partnerships with suppliers to secure efficient production and growth. The relationship between Ikea US and Sauder Woodworking is a good example of that. "With our planned growth in the U.S., we are looking to expand our manufacturing base here, so that we can deliver our products economically and sustainably."
Ikea plans to add three new stores in 2014 and 2015: Miami, FL, Merriam, KS and St. Louis. About 19% of the cubic meter volume sold in Ikea US stores is produced domestically. Supply from North America, including Canada and Mexico, equals about 31% of the cubic meter volume sold in U.S. stores. Products currently produced in the United States include kitchen cabinets, mattresses, sofas, entertainment furniture, shelving units and appliances.

We have stayed here many times. The beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms have a separate bathtub and shower. I have also stayed in some of the suites which are lovely. I like the 10 series deluxe rooms because I don't like the bathtub that opens to the bedroom with the shuttered enclosure. The 10 series also has a separate dressing table area.
The bar is gorgeous and a hopping place.

Convicted child molester Louis Skip ReVille is alone in a prison cell. He doesnt eat with other inmates. Other than the guards and visitors he receives, he rarely interacts with many people.
ReVille, 33, will remain at the maximum-security Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia, according to Clark Newsom, S.C. Department of Corrections spokesman.
Following his June 13 sentencing, the Mount Pleasant man was evaluated by prison officials to determine where he would be permanently housed. The first stop for inmates following sentencing is usually Kirkland before theyre assigned to another facility.
Due to concerns for his safety, prison officials chose to keep ReVille at Kirkland within the Department of Corrections protective custody unit. It houses inmates with special security concerns in a controlled environment, Newsom said.
ReVille is separated from the general population of inmates, about 256 of them, and even eats his meals in his single-person cell, according to Newsom. Hes not the only one with protection at the state prisons unit. Twenty-seven other inmates also are housed in protective custody.
The state has no special facility for sex offenders, so ReVille could have ended up in the general inmate population, where child molesters exist at the bottom of the pecking order and often are targeted for violence and abuse, authorities have said.
ReVille pleaded guilty to molesting 23 boys in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties. The boys ranged in age from 10 to 17. His crimes date back to 2002, when he began preying upon boys at his alma mater, The Citadel, during summer camp.
He cycled through nearly a dozen coaching, teaching and church posts throughout the region finding his victims. He admitted to having more than 40 victims, authorities have said.
ReVille had indicated that he wanted to be placed at Lieber prison in Ridgeville so he could continue receiving the mental health treatment he received from Dr. William Burke following his October 2011 arrest. Burke, whose practice is in Summerville, specializes in assessing and treating sex offenders.
During his sentencing, Circuit Judge Markley Dennis called the case a tragedy and admitted he had wrestled with the decision when he learned he would rule over the case.
Part of me would like to put you where you couldnt possibly see daylight again, he said in court.
Dennis sentenced him to 50 years in prison. Prison officials couldnt speculate whether ReVille will remain there during his entire sentence.
He will stay there until they feel its safe to move him, Newsom said.
He must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence. He will be 74 years old when he is eligible for release in the year 2054. ReVille already has filed a motion for a judge to reconsider his sentence, according to court records.

My polka dotted Halloween pumpkin
I made this pumpkin using basic black paint and a pouncer. I've seen several ideas online and in mags for this, so it's not an original idea or anything, but I thought I would share...
Anyone else seen some clever pumpkin painting ideas?
Nice, I like it. I'm always ready for a change. I also like the white pumpkins, not with black dots, though.
Very nice. Kudzukween did pumpkins with stencils with her grandkids. Go to the post about curtains from sheets & click on her site. it's at bottom of her post. There are lot of decorations under "Holidays" but they are mostly store bought pumpkins but you might get some ideas. Last yr my DD needed to get pumpkin carved in a hurry so just typed in something like "Pumpkin carving" & got some really great results. Good Luck! You'll enjoy this site, lots of nice folks here!

Nice job Rich.The break clip pitching CDN is perfect, wouldn't change a thing on that, and the rest will get smoother as you go along. I did some narration to slide shows years ago and that in itself was a hell of a lot trickier than I ever thought it could be. Again you nailed it. Great idea also.
I.d give you an overall "B". A for content, B- for delivery, and B+ for struction and composition of the podcast. Also threw in an A for bullet points being well defined adding to the value of the content .
I liked it. No mention of the recall elections being put together for two of the fleeing dumbocrats?

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Dec. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling, downloading apps and surfing the web on the Verizon Wireless network is now easier and faster for residents and travelers thanks to new cell sites in San Francisco. The sites improve coverage around Fell and Divisadero, at AT&T Park, Candlestick Park, Pier 29, along Ocean Avenue and the eastern part of the Presidio.
Since being founded in 2000, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $7.2 billion in its California network. Nationally, the company has invested more than $70 billion over that same period to increase the coverage and capacity of its network, and to add new services.
The network upgrade is part of the company's ongoing investment to keep improving and strengthening the nation's largest and most reliable wireless network.

|Reviews for Last Thoughts
| taylor chapter 1 . 4/11/2009
I really liked this poem. I thought it was very artistic. I like where it saise Monsters lurking in the dark,
Pacing furiously, waiting to leave their mark,
| Captain-Dalien chapter 1 . 7/17/2007
This is dark, but I find myself liking it. The repetitions are great. My favorite lines, I have to say, were /Life is a black and bruital quest/It stabs you in the back and again in the chest/ It flows quite nicely. Kudos. CD
| Kirona of the skies chapter 1 . 3/21/2007
So sad...(
Your diction is excellent. It's so...vivid. A great job.
| Coda Lovelance chapter 1 . 2/4/2007
I really liked the lines "There's a rope, but nothing but slack,/Out of space, out of time."- really good imagery! The repetition of "out of space, out of time." adds a sense of continuity to the piece, and then, with it's final usage:finalization/completion.
| On The Esplanade chapter 1 . 1/18/2007
Very nice job.
I liked the repetition of that one line. The whole thing was very classic but still fresh and unique. I especially liked the line about the rope.

I can't speak for everyone but my worst fear when it comes to performing is that I've spent hours preparing for a show, when I walk out on stage I find out I have no clue what's going on.

Latin America Amateur offers new pathway to major tourneys
Three of golf's prominent golf organizations have created the Latin America Amateur Championship, giving amateurs from 27 countries a shot at playing in the Masters and qualifying for golf's two oldest championship.
The inaugural Latin America Amateur will start next January in Argentina.
TEE IT UPStay on course with this season's pro golf schedules.
It follows the model of the Asia-Pacific Amateur, which began in 2009 with the backing of Augusta National Golf Club and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club. The U.S. Golf Association joined the latest effort in Latin America, with all three groups offering some major perks.
The winner will receive a spot in the 2015 Masters and will be exempt into the final stage of qualifying for the British Open and U.S. Open, along with an exemption to any other USGA championship for which the amateur is eligible.
And just like the Asia-Pacific Amateur, the idea is to accelerate the development of golf in a region that doesn't get a lot of attention.
''We believe this event will be motivating to current and future generations of golfers, and one day create heroes that will inspire others to give the game a try,'' Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said Wednesday. ''This belief has guided us well through the early successes of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, and with the collective expertise in guiding the game of golf provided by the R&A and the USGA, we are hopeful in achieving equally exciting results.''
Hideki Matsuyama, a two-time winner of the Asia-Pacific Amateur, is now No. 24 in the world. The most recent winner was Guan Tianlang, who at 14 last year became the youngest player to make a cut in a major.
Check out our latest Facebook updates, tweets and photos.
The first Latin America Amateur will be Jan. 15-18, 2015, at Pilar Golf in Argentina.
The PGA Tour recently began a Latin American satellite tour, and the new amateur event could provide an even bigger boost with golf returning to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 games.
The 120-man field will be determined largely by the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
At least two players will come from each of 27 countries recognized by the International Olympic Committee, which also are part of the International Golf Federation. Along with South America, they include countries in the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico.
The two players will be decided by the world ranking. If there are no players in the ranking, the national golf association will nominate the players. The remainder of the field will be filled by the ranking, with no country allowed more than six players. The exception is the host country, which can have as many as 10 players.
It will be 72 holes of stroke play, same as the Asia-Pacific Amateur.
''Supporting the game's continuous growth has been a responsibility taken very seriously throughout the 260-year history of the R&A,'' chief executive Peter Dawson said. ''Having been involved in this region of the world for many years, we understand the potential impact a championship of this stature can have on golfers with dreams of competing at the highest level.''

NASA's Instagram page on the afternoon of Sept. 6, 2013, before the launch of the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer.
NASA inaugurated its Instagram page on Friday, in time for the launch of the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, scheduled to take off for the moon Friday night from the Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va.
The spacecraft will orbit the moon to gather information about the lunar atmosphere.
NASA on Instagram.
"We're constantly looking to expand our social media portfolio to include tools that will best tell NASA's story of exploration and discovery," NASA press secretary Lauren Worley said in a news release. "Instagram has a passionate following of users who are hungry for new and exciting photos. We believe we have some of the most engaging images on and off the planet -- and we can't wait to engage with Instagrammers."
NASA also has pages on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, Flickr, Foursquare, Reddit and other sites. Instagram was added in July to the more than 60 GSA-approved tools and apps available to federal agencies.

Drugs in Sport The International Olympic Committee and other sporting bodies have banned the use of certain drugs by competitors in sporting events. Care has been taken to ensure minimal interference to the therapeutic use of drugs so that the health care of competitors is not compromised. Banned drugs are not only contained in medicines which may be prescribed by medical officers. They can be found in over the counter preparations which can be purchased without a prescription. Some so called vitamins may contain banned drugs eg. Catovit contains a banned stimulant. Particular attention should be given to combinations of drugs eg. plain aspirin is permitted. Aspirin and codeine combinations may not be. If there are any doubts: Doctors Don't give it! Athletes Don't take it! Most drugs effect:- • motor control • reaction time • the ability to maintain attention The effect of many drugs is also related to body weight. Generally lighter people are more affected. Drugs obtained from illicit sources ie. black markets, are more likely to contain a greater range of impurity and adulterants. In addition the quantity of the active drug is not really known. Some drugs interact or even enhance the effects of another drug so it is not advisable to take any medication prescribed for another person or supplied by someone other than a medical practitioner. Some drugs are not banned but that does not mean that they are good for you! 1 Social Drugs Alcohol:- • is readily available to anyone over the age of 18 years • is a drug which slows down the actions of the brain. It is a central nervous system depressant • moves very quickly to all parts of the body and increases the occurrence of injury Problems caused include:- • decrease in accuracy of balance • movement will become slow and clumsy • harder to concentrate • eyesight may become blurred • decisions being made are not rational Alcohol may also effect:- • how strong you feel • how fast you move • behaviour, may become violent and aggressive Alcohol is a potent dehydrating agent. Athletes should replace fluids before, during and after training and competition. Athletes should not consume alcohol prior to training or competition! Re-hydrate with water after! Tobacco Contains three particularly harmful elements:- • Tar:- mixture of many different chemicals, some of which cause cancer. It is responsible for the sludge that builds up in the lungs • Nicotine:- a very dangerous drug which is capable of exciting the central nervous system. It is also responsible for addiction to smoking cigarettes and makes the heart beat harder and faster than it needs to • Carbon Monoxide:- is a poisonous gas (car exhaust) which reduces the amount of O2 that your blood can carry. Therefore it is harder for the heart to pump blood to the muscles and there is a decrease in energy. 2 Smoke from one cigarette can make it 2-3 times harder for air to move in and out of the lungs within seconds. It only takes one cigarette to:- • increase breathing • increase blood pressure • increase heart rate • decrease body temperature • decrease peripheral circulation All side effects related to smoking tobacco make it harder for an athlete to perform to the best of their ability. Athletes who smoke do not show as much improvement in their fitness as those that don't smoke. It appears that smoking decreases lung capacity by 15-20%. An athlete who smokes tobacco will never reach peak personal fitness potential! Passive Smoking:- Two types:- • Mainstream Smoke:- The smoke breathed out by the smoker • Sidestream Smoke:- The smoke from the burning cigarette. This smoke contains the same tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide that cigarettes contain Passive smoking is dangerous to a non smoker's health and may cause sore throats, coughs and runny nose. An athletes performance can be made worse by exposure to cigarette smoke before, during or after a game or training session. Breathing in someone else's smoke makes it harder for O2 to reach the athletes working muscle. No smoking in dressing rooms! Caffeine Caffeine is a drug found in coffee, tea, chocolate and many soft drinks. Caffeine is a stimulant ie. it speeds up certain parts of the brain and body. 3 Caffeine should not be used to cover up the body's message of tiredness. This can lead to injuries and sickness. Caffeine can cause:- • increase on blood pressure • increase in body temperature • diuresis, increase need to go to toilet! • sleep difficulties • headaches, shakiness, irritability, mood changes (withdrawal). A urinary concentration of 12 micrograms per millilitre must be exceeded before a sample is considered positive. An athlete would need to consume approx. 500 mg in a short period of time ie. about 6-8 cups of coffee, 10 cans cola, 3 family bars of chocolate. Coffee 50-100 mg per cup Tea 40-80 mg per cup Cola drink 30-50 mg per cup Chocolate bars 150 mg per family block Marijuana The most powerful ingredient is a depressant drug. It slows down the action of the body and the brain. Can cause:- • impaired balance co-ordination • decreased concentration • increased heart rate • drowsiness Large doses will increase the above as well as distort the perception of time, sound and colour. It can also cause confusion, anxiety and hallucinations. Long term users increase the risk of diseases associated with cigarette smoking ie. lung cancer, bronchitis and respiratory disease. Marijuana is an illegal substance! 4 Drugs-permitted-restricted. These drugs should only be used on the advice of a medically trained person. Do not use indiscriminately. Analgesics (non narcotic) Minor painkillers - Paracetamol – Aspirin. Beware of combinations - Codeine – Panadeine. These act on the central nervous system as a depressant. They are not as strong as the narcotic analgesics. Non narcotic analgesics are used to control pain, however pain is natures way of telling the athlete that there is something wrong! Too many analgesics can cause: • nausea and vomiting • bleeding from the stomach • kidney damage If a pain doesn't go away, seek medical advice. Antiasthmatics (check for restrictions) Bronchodialotors - eg. Salbutamol, (Ventolin-Respolin), and Terbutaline (Bricanyl) which are permitted in aerosol form only. Theophylline - usually taken orally. Corticosteroid anti-inflammatories e.g. Belcomethasone, (Becotide and Becloforte inhalers) and Budesonide (Pulmicort inhaler and turbuhaler) are permitted. Anti-allergenic agent eg. Sodium Chromoglycate (Intal via inhalation) are permitted. Ephedrine and related substances are prohibited as they are classed as stimulants and are not the drug of choice for the management of asthma. Asthma is a serious condition and at times can be managed too lightly. An asthmatic participating in sporting activity must be fully educated about their condition and the medication prescribed. 5 Amino Acids Chemicals needed in the process of building body tissue. They are found naturally in protein food eg. eggs, meat. Amino acids are critical for the synthesis of body proteins and other body tissue. It has not been proven that amino acid supplements can benefit athletes who are in good health and are eating a balanced diet. They have been claimed to:- • build muscle • aid fat loss • provide energy • speed up muscle repair • stimulate the production of growth hormones Excessive protein or amino acid intake can result in:- • excessive weight gain • dehydration (large amounts of fluid to excrete protein) • gout, effects the joints • loss of urinary calcium • stress on liver and kidneys • toxic levels may build up in the blood • well planned fitness, weight training program Vitamins Some combinations may contain banned substances. Balanced diet Anti-Inflammatories All non steroidal anti-inflammatories are permitted for use in approved conditions, but certain restrictions apply to corticosteroid anti inflammatories by injection. Oral and parentral corti are prohibited anti inflammatories. Inhalation therapy is permitted. 6 Hydration Hydration is one of the best performance enhancers! • less than 1 hour - water (cool to cold) • greater than 1 hour - "exceed" or such to replace electrolyte losses • Lucozade - glucose causes an increase in blood sugar which stimulates the release of insulin, which then causes hypoglycaemia • a decrease in the blood sugar level Prohibited Drugs Stimulants Act on the central nervous system to speed up parts of the brain and body, similar to the effects of Adrenalin. It makes you feel more awake and alert. Stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines cause:- • a rise in body temperature • faster breathing • increased heart rate • problems with co-ordination and balance • violent aggressive behaviour Stimulants can cause death. They make it very difficult for the body to cool down, then the heart and other organs stop working properly. Athletes must be careful as many cough and cold medicines contain small amounts of stimulants. Don't forget other stimulants such as coffee, tea, cocoa etc. Narcotic Analgesics These are the strongest painkillers (Heroin, Morphine, Pethidine and Codeine). They are dangerous in that they hide any pain. The injury may become worse or permanent damage may result. 7 Narcotic analgesics can cause:- • loss of balance, co-ordination • decreased ability to concentrate • drowsiness • slower breathing • nausea • vomiting These side effects make it difficult for the athlete to train properly or to compete to the best of their ability. Anabolic Steroids Anabolism is the building up of the body substances. Anabolic steroids are a man made version of a hormone known as testosterone, found in men and women. Men are bigger and stronger than women and this is partly because men have more testosterone in their bodies. Athletes take anabolic steroids to build up their muscles so they become bigger, faster and stronger. They provide an unfair advantage - taking the easy way out. Side Effects Men:- • breast development • acne, especially on back and face • decreased size of testes and the amount of sperm produced • violence, aggression and mood swings • liver disease - water retention • kidney disease • cancers etc, etc 8 Women:- • hair growth, face, back and bottom • Acne • deeper voice • violence, aggression • clitoral hypertrophy • liver disease - water retention • kidney disease • cancers etc, etc Beta Blockers Used to manage people with hypertension. Athletes such as pistol shooters, archers etc. who require a steady hand use these to stop shaking. Athletes without heart problems may develop:- • (hypotension) low blood pressure • slow heart rate • the possibility of the heart stopping because it has been slowed down too much Diuretics Used to increase urine output which promotes the removal of banned substances. They are used where weight loss is needed in sport. Can cause dehydration. The athlete will become:- • faint • dizzy • get headaches • nauseous • uncoordinated • get cramps • cause the kidney and heart to stop working, which could lead to death 9 Growth Hormone Growth hormone determines a person's height. It helps to build muscle and bone. Produced in the pituitary gland. Production can be increased by:- • eating foods high in protein • exercising • getting plenty of sleep Children with growth problems may be given a man made growth hormone which some athletes try to use to try and build their muscles (unfair advantage). Growth hormones can cause:- • acromegaly, hands, feet and face grow very large • problems with joints and muscles making it difficult to train or compete • Diabetes Once an athlete has matured and stopped growing, growth hormones will not make them grow any taller. Blood Doping Involves an athlete putting extra blood or red blood products into their body, whether it be their own or somebody else's! Blood Doping involves:- • Withdrawal Stage:- removal of about 1 litre of blood from the body. The body remakes the litre of blood to make up for what has been taken out. • Storage:- the blood is stored in large freezers. • Re-infusion:- about 1 week before competition day, the stored blood is returned to the athletes body. Blood Doping provides:- • more red blood cells to carry O2 • more O2 going to the muscles • more energy to train or compete 10 It is dangerous to a player's health. The sharing of needles or blood can lead to diseases such as Hepatitis or Aids! PREPARED BY JOHN O'HALLORAN 11

So how do Palo Alto and Pleasanton run to highly successful, and quite large, unified school districts? Those are the models we should be looking toward?
Of is it just that no one wants to admit that the rationale against a merger is all the poor, underprivileged folk that would come with Mountain View's share?

MARTIN WILLOUGHBY — Tyler Raborn finds success and fulfillment with Raborn Media
by Ross Reily
Published: July 25,2014
Tags: Business, column, law, Mississippi, Raborn Media, Steve Jobs
If we are not careful, we can find ourselves living someone else's version of our life rather than our own. Whether from a parent, spouse, friend or simply societal expectations, the pressure to follow a path in life that is not our own choosing can be enormous. In his 2005 commencement address at Stanford University, Steve Jobs emphasized this point to the graduates. "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, the courage to follow your heart and intuition." Jobs struck a chord with this speech which went viral on YouTube. I was reminded of this quote as I visited with my interviewee this week, Tyler Raborn, co-founder of Raborn Media. Tyler and his wife, Amanda, are young entrepreneurs on the fast track to success.
Tyler moved around a lot growing up (over 19 times), but he finished high school in Metro Jackson before going off to Mississippi State where he majored in accounting. After interning with Pricewaterhouse Coopers in Atlanta, he decided to pursue a law degree at Tulane University. He excelled in school and worked as a law clerk as he plotted his career path as an attorney. However, sometimes life takes you in a different direction as Tyler soon found out.
While he was in law school, Amanda worked at a marketing firm in New Orleans where she specialized in social media. At heart, they are both entrepreneurs and so they felt the tug to pursue a different path.
In early 2013, they began to discuss and pray about starting their own marketing company. They shared a passion for technology, marketing, and helping people. They conducted significant research and planning and in early fall 2013 launched Raborn Media. By the end of 2013, their business had exploded with clients as their ROI oriented approach to digital marketing connected with many business owners searching for answers on how to grow their business. Tyler faced a difficult decision as he needed to focus full time on his growing company, but he still lacked one semester to finish law school. He made a difficult decision and chose to focus on his business and relocate to Jackson.
Tyler candidly noted, "In addition to the financial risk of starting a business, I realized that I was breaking a societal norm by pursuing this path." He was on the track to be a tax lawyer, but that was not his passion. He shared, "While I was interested in helping people protect their assets, what I truly enjoy is helping people grow their assets through effective use of digital marketing." I respect that fact that an early age Tyler has taken the "road less traveled" and pursued his dreams. Journalist Christopher Morley once noted, "There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way." It takes wisdom and courage to understand what you really wanted to do with your life and to vigorously pursue it. I think that is why Steve Jobs emphasized it to the class at Stanford. Faced with significant health issues, Jobs knew that life was short and that you have to sometimes block out the noise of the voices of others to make sure you understand your own inner voice.
Amanda and Tyler have clearly followed this advice and are charting their own course. I always kept my eye out for up and coming entrepreneurs, and I believe Tyler and Amanda are ones to watch.
