President's Message
Officer Safety Requires the Support of an Entire Agency
Yousry "Yost" Zakhary, Director, Woodway, Texas, Public Safety Department
There are some simple precautions law enforcement officers can take to enhance their safety and to make sure that they return home to their loved ones. Year after year, the number one cause of officer fatalities is traffic-related incidents. All too often, these horrific incidents could have been prevented by the use of a seat belt. The first thing an officer should do when he or she gets into a vehicle is to buckle up. Not only is it recommended, but it's the law.
The seat belt, a simple but vital piece of safety equipment, is often neglected when officers are rushing to get to a scene. It is imperative that our law enforcement officers wear their seat belts and that chiefs stress the importance of seat belt use within their agencies.
Like seat belts, body armor is equally important to a police officer's survival and well-being. Enacting a mandatory vest wear policy is only a preliminary step toward protecting officers from needless disabilities or deaths. Policy compliance must be institutionalized. Officer safety is an all-hands task, but it must originate from agency leadership. There's no denying it, vests save lives, so make sure your officers wear their body armor at all times.
Not all police officer deaths are caused by on-the-job injuries. Last year, 13 percent of law enforcement officer fatalities were due to heart attacks. In comparison, 5 percent of law enforcement officers' deaths were caused by heart attacks in 2012 and 7 percent in 2011. While it is impossible to foresee every medical issue, it's important that officers and law enforcement agencies make efforts to prevent heart attacks before they happen. Preventative efforts include eating a heart healthy diet, exercising regularly, visiting a doctor regularly for blood pressure and cholesterol checks, limiting alcohol use, and not using tobacco products. Law enforcement agencies should encourage their officers to exercise, eat a healthy diet, and visit their doctors.
While most academies prepare new officers to manage and prevent stress during training, the level of guidance and ongoing support available thereafter is varied. The mental health of law enforcement officers and the threat of suicide are critical concerns for police leaders and law enforcement agencies.
In police culture, suicide and mental health are often uncomfortable topics and can be seen as signs of weakness contrary to the strong, fearless image law enforcement officers are expected to project. As a result, many agencies and officers have nowhere to turn in a time of crisis. First-line supervisors are essential to the success of employee suicide reductions. Supervisors are the closest to the officers and need to provide support and encourage their officers to speak to them when suffering from a traumatic event.
Suicide knows no boundaries, and it strikes all levels of law enforcement. The IACP is committed to deploying a national strategic plan for implementation of state-of-the-art mental wellness and suicide prevention programs in police departments.
We must remember that although we as officers must be responsible for taking certain precautions ourselves, we must also look out for our peers. Officer safety requires support on all levels, from law enforcement executives to frontline officers. Executives need to lead by example and institute agency policies. All officers need to be aware of their fellow officers, encourage them to take precautionary measures from the use of safety equipment to healthy living, and make sure they know they have a support system and someone to talk to at all times. ♦

Gurdwara Sahib Melaka or 'Sikh Temple Melaka' (popularly referred by the local non-Sikh population) is located in the middle of Melaka's (Malacca) historical triving business locality. The Gurdwara compound has seen massive transformations since it was constructed in 1926. During Sant Sohan Singh Ji's time, the Gurdwara Sahib consisted of a single building which housed the Darbar Sahib (Prayer Hall) and ajoining accomodation rooms.
The Gurdwara Sahib has been reconstructed but with its original architecture remaining intact.
The Sant Sohan Singh Ji Vidyala (above), which is close to the main Gurdwara has stayed very much the same since it was constructed after the demise of Sant Sohan Singh Ji in 1972. It used to house a school (Vidyala) where Sikh Youth could get training in the spiritual and social pillars of Sikhism. They would then take up duties to perform missionary work in spreading the Sikh religion to other parts of the country. This was the life long goal and mission of Sant Sohan Singh Ji.
New addition to the compound is the 3 storey multipurpose building. With the contributions and sewa from the Sangat, the Management Committee has taken on projects, which looks into the comfort and caters to the necessities of the general Sangat (congregation).The building is called "Sant Baba Sohan Singh Ji Complex" , it houses a huge darbar hall on the 3rd level. Domitories and classrooms on the 2nd level. It has a spacious langgar hall on the ground floor.

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to know what is the current offering of staff travel solutions for low cost airlines employees?
I know easyJet for exemple only allows staff travels on their airline and are quite reluctant to have partnership with other airlines, do other LCC have agreements with other legacy carriers for their employees to benefit from? One that comes to mind is Air Arabia, as I was seated next to an FA that was traveling on ID90 staff travel ticket issued by her airline to fly on Emirates.
Do any LCC, affiliated or not to IATA have some agreements with legacy carriers then? What is the options available at all the airlines worldwide?
Thanks for your time

We think they should pick: Bobby Carpenter, OLB, Ohio State
The release of linebacker Jamie Sharper and cornerback Andre Dyson gives the team even more reason to add defensive help in the draft. This is a young, emerging defense that wildly outperformed expectations last season. One or two more impact rookies could help put the unit over the top.
While the Seahawks are expected to focus on defense in the draft, they have proven to be disciplined in sticking with the best-player-available mantra. That was certainly their strategy last year when new president Tim Ruskell drafted a center in the first round.
Nobody saw that one coming, but when Spencer was available at No. 26, the Seahawks took him because they considered him the best value.
Ruskell proved in the second round that he isn't afraid to go against conventional wisdom. He took heavy criticism for trading up nine spots to draft undersized middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu, a player experts thought would have been available a round or two later. All Tatupu did was lead a defensive revival that landed him in the Pro Bowl.
Seattle could use another outside linebacker to play alongside Tatupu and 2005 third-round pick Leroy Hill.
It's not a given that Seattle will find another starting linebacker in the draft. The team could go the free-agent route. And if veteran linebacker D.D. Lewis can overcome recent injury problems, he could be the starter regardless of what happens in the draft.
The Seahawks are one of the teams with some interest in Jets DE John Abraham. Teams rarely find legitimate pass-rush help picking as late as Seattle will in the first round (31st).
That's why Seattle might be wise to add needed depth at DE, and perhaps a starter, in free agency. They went that route in recent seasons by adding a pair of former Rams in Grant Wistrom and Bryce Fisher. Those moves paid off.
Seattle could also use a safety with range in case free safety Ken Hamlin can't come back from a head injury. Whether the team can re-sign free safety Marquand Manuel will help determine how high the Seahawks might need to draft a safety.
The offense appears pretty much set, particularly if the team can re-sign wide receiver Joe Jurevicius, which is a priority. The team added young depth on the offensive line in the 2005 draft. Now there might be a need for a running back to groom behind MVP Shaun Alexander, and another young receiver might make sense as well.
This is a Super Bowl team without a glaring need. The Seahawks would be wise to build on what they accomplished in the 2005 draft, infusing youth and energy into a defense that lacks star power.
We think they should pick: LenDale White, RB, Southern California
Yes, the Cardinals used a second-round pick a year ago on another Pac-10 running back who they believed would have a stellar pro career - and J.J. Arrington still might despite a scary debut as a rookie. But this team, which had the second-worst rushing output in 2005 since the merger, can't afford to gamble.
But LenDale White of Southern California has a big body (6-1, 237) that can take the pounding he'll receive as a 20-times a game ball carrier in the NFL. He is adept between the tackles, where the Cardinals often failed in short-yardage and goal-line situations, and he does have speed to get around the corner, which gives him an edge on veteran Marcel Shipp, the Cardinals rushing leader three of the past four seasons.
Perhaps most important, White comes from a winning pedigree at USC, where he played on one national championship team and came within seconds of another. That will be huge for the Cardinals, who haven't had a 10-win season in 30 years.
With the 10th pick overall in the first round, it is possible that White will be off the board, in which case the team should give thought to DeAngelo Williams, a running back from Memphis. What gives White an edge over Williams is size. Williams is 5-9, 215, still stout enough to make it as a premier featured back in the NFL.
And what can't be overlooked about Williams is that he compiled dazzling rushing statistics at Memphis behind an offensive line that can best be described as shaky - the same word often used in reference to the Cardinals offensive line.
Of course, upgrading that offensive line is the top priority of the off-season, and the team is expected to hit it hard in free agency before the draft. What the team does in the draft, of course, will be influenced by what it does in the delayed free agency period.
In an attempt to improve the offensive line, the Cardinals are expected to make a strong run at free-agent center Kevin Mawae of the New York Jets, once among the league's elite but whose best days may now be behind him; guard Kyle Kosier of the Detroit Lions, who has started 40 games over four years for the Lions and San Francisco 49ers, and who also can swing to tackle, and guard Milford Brown of the Houston Texans, who after three years as a backup cracked the lineup and started 12 games in 2005.
The team will have a wad of money to spend but is expected to use it on lesser-light free agents who may be equipped and willing to play roles. That, in turn, will allow them to cover more ground and make that money go farther.
Other free agents who fit that mold at areas of need include cornerback Will Allen of the New York Giants, who has eight career interceptions - none last year and only four since four as a rookie in 2001, and defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu of the Baltimore Ravens, a 6-foot-5, 350-pound stud who played in college at Utah.
But the team is not expected to sign a running back in free agency, and that will leave that need wide open when they make their first-round pick in the draft. And while there are excellent offensive line prospects in the draft field - D'Brickashaw Ferguson of Virginia at the head of the pack with top-10 value - the team is more likely to spend the money of that draft position on a player who can more quickly influence a game.
We think they should pick: Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland
With the cap set at $102 million, the Rams found themselves with significant money to spend, even after the addition of defensive tackle La'Roi Glover and the re-signing of veteran wide receiver Isaac Bruce.
They had saved $8 million by initially releasing Bruce, but his new deal still left the club with plenty of space to go out and further improve the defense. With much of the effort in free agency going toward the defense, should the Rams be successful in that regard, it's why the selection of Davis in the first round makes sense.
The question is whether he would be available with the 11th pick in the first round. A tremendous producer in college, Davis likely improved his standing by registering a 4.38 time in the 40 at the combine. That could catapult him into at least the top 10.
If they don't get Davis, the Rams will certainly look at tight ends later in the draft, someone like Notre Dame's Anthony Fasano. Incumbent starter Brandon Manumaleuna is decent as a blocker, but is not a threat as a pass-catcher, and new coach Scott Linehan has been vocal about upgrading the position.
The addition of Glover strengthens the defensive line, but there are still questions and needs at the other tackle, linebacker and safety. There's a chance Ryan Pickett might be re-signed, but if not, the only other tackle under contract is Jimmy Kennedy.
At linebacker, someone to man the middle is still needed, and has been since the departure of London Fletcher after the 2001 season. This year's draft is not strong at the very top at that position, but there are some solid prospects like Iowa's Abdul Hodges that will be available after the first round.
Dexter Coakley, is he returns healthy after suffering a broken leg near the end of the 2005 season, is seen as a backup, so an outside linebacker is also needed to go with Pisa Tinoisamoa. If Ohio State's A.J. Hawk is available in the first round, he could be the pick, but he will likely go earlier. In later rounds, the Rams could have their eyes on Ohio State's Bobby Carpenter or Alabama's DeMeco Ryans.
The Rams would like to re-sign strong safety Adam Archuleta, but only to fill a role as a run defender in the box and in blitzing situations. They need a physical presence at the position, and Anthony Smith of Syracuse could be targeted in the second round.
One thing to consider is that under new defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, the Rams would like to play combinations of the 4-3 and 3-4 defense. That desire will impact what they do in free agency and the draft.
We think they should pick: Mario Williams, DE, North Carolina State
The 49ers have so many holes to fill and so little depth that they can almost always take the best player on the board, regardless of position. The exception might be at quarterback, where they do not need to sink a high draft pick into that position after taking Alex Smith with the No. 1 overall selection a year ago.
Don't be too surprised to see the 49ers draft exclusively defensive players on the first day. They are in dire need of pass-rushers, a starting cornerback and they'll probably need to fill some holes at linebacker. Williams would give the 49ers a much-needed pass-rusher. Eight of the 49ers' 28 sacks came from defensive end Bryant Young, a 12-year pro, who showed signs late in the season of tiring.
If Williams is chosen before the 49ers get a chance at No. 6, the 49ers would then lean toward Ohio State linebacker A.J. Hawk.
The 49ers made a big play before free agency began when they re-signed middle linebacker Derek Smith to a three-year, $14 million deal that includes a $6 million signing bonus. The 49ers figure to still be in the need for linebackers in the draft because Julian Peterson, Andre Carter and Brandon Moore were scheduled to test the free-agent waters.
When the 49ers released cornerback Ahmed Plummer, it created a starting job. The 49ers do not have a legitimate starting cornerback to be matched with Shawntae Spencer. Because this draft is strong at cornerback, look for the 49ers to take someone that position with their second or third pick. They could also add a starting safety in the draft.
The 49ers need to surround Alex Smith with better talent on offense. This is not a good draft for receivers, so they might be hard-pressed to find someone to step into one of the top-three slots.
However, the passing game should be addressed at tight end, where the 49ers received no production a year ago. Four tight ends combined to catch just 20 passes for 158 yards and no touchdowns. The 49ers figure to select a pass-catching tight end as late as the fourth or fifth rounds.
As much as the offensive line was maligned a year ago, the 49ers head into this offseason feeling good about the young talent assembled there. If left tackle Jonas Jennings is healthy, the 49ers' line could be much-improved. Still, they could use some depth at the tackle spots.
The 49ers have nine draft picks, with extra picks in the sixth and seventh rounds. They might be awarded a couple other compensatory picks. Vice president of player personnel Scot McCloughan needs to put together a draft in which nearly all of their picks make the team and at least two in as immediate starters for a club that went 4-12 last season.

The Rogers Aquatic Center opens Saturday to people looking to beat the heat, but there won't be any season passes available this summer.
Some of the cool things people will enjoy include a lazy river, pools and huge slides. It's the second year the water park will be open to the public.
Water park manager Suzy Turek said while the number of people using the center has grown, the park hasn't, so doors will be shut once it reaches capacity.
"As we look at the possibility of expanding the park in the future, that may change. We're wanting to be as accommodating as we can to everyone in every way," said Turek.
The park's new mascot is a green frog who goes by the name Wet Willy.
The aquatic center opens from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Against the Giants gallery
Wizards of the Coast has put up the full gallery for the Against the Giants miniatures set, and most of the sculpts look really good. The Bugbear Lancebreaker stands out from the pack, and I'm eager to pull the two new dragonborn—though please, WotC, could you give us some dragonborn who aren't fighters? How about a dragonborn cleric or arcanist? It will be nice to have a huge-sized Elder White Dragon in the mix, though the photograph of the Elder Red Dragon looks a bit "cartoonish" to me compared with the older Huge Red Dragon miniature. On the other hand, the new Roper looks a lot better than the old Roper. I'm a sucker for transparent plastic, so I'm jazzed by the Angel of Retribution, the Fire Bat, and the Fire Titan, as well as the Lurking Wraith (in gray; I already have the Free RPG Day version in blue). There's lots of other goodness in this set, so check it out!

We are no longer offering Vierges et Toreros by Etat Libre d'Orange. Discover a new favorite or contact our beauty concierge for further assistance.
The arena is flooded with sun and the clamor of the crowd rises from the tiers like an offering. Where are we? In Seville? Puerto Santa Maria? Definitely somewhere in Andalusia, where the stature and pride of men are compelling. On this particular Sunday of the month of May, the combat to be presented does not have at its aim the death of a bull. The intention is a sensuous ritual act: to confront animal-like notes with the authority of a flower, one of the most fragrant in the vegetal world, the tuberose. Wood, musk and costus, in daring, unreasonably aromatic proportions, would once and for all bite the dust in this arena dedicated solely to the glory of men. In this openly sexual confrontation - me the woman, you the man - the purity of the tuberose is falsely innocent so that in appearance only, these reputedly macho notes seem to have the potential for victory. But smelling it tells a completely different story. The nose will reveal the victor: the Virgin and the Torero.
Top Notes: Bergamot, cardamom
Middle Notes: Tuberose, ylang ylang, nutmeg, pepper
Bottom Notes: Costus, leather, patchouli, vetiver, animalis base

This is the third article in the Ironman Chronicles series.
Mind games, really. Mind over matter. Sheer determination of the will. Overcoming, victorious, breakthrough. Is it fantasy or reality? Can I really will my mind to ignore fear? The race is less than two days away. What is the greatest obstacle I will have to overcome to complete this grand trek across 140.6 miles?
My mind tells me it's my swimming.
Swimming is the dark dragon that still needs to be slain. I've trained extra hard since mid-May, swimming close to seven miles per week. I've seen my times in the pool drop from a 1:55/100 meters to about 1:45/100 meters.
All that seemed to have been erased today during my short, practice swim in choppy, freezing water in a dark, menacing lake. The only consolation was not having to taste nasty saltwater.
I wish I was the X-Men character, Storm. I'd make the wind disappear to make the lake as smooth as glass so that I wouldn't have to get pounded in the face swimming into a wave crest every three strokes. But alas, I can't control the weather on race day.
I can only control my mind and my body. I can choose to recall that I've swum well in training. I can choose to remember that I've swum 4,000 meters on numerous occasions. And I can do it again in a lake on Sunday. Despite my dislike of swimming, I can choose to remember that I've been swimming since I was eight years old. That's well over 36 years. So I can damn well swim 2.4 miles in freezing, choppy water if I put my mind to it.

hi Kelly! I'm a beginner too, but loving it. Like the photos too, just friended you on MM
Today I came across a diet progress blog (crissfit.tumblr.com) which mentioned the paleo diet. I was intrigued and gave the link a good read. For a while I have been tempted to cut out wheat products but have been put off mainly because of my love of cake baking.. but now I think I am ready to give it a go. I'm tired of not seeing my weight go down despite all the calorie counting I do, I think this is the perfect diet for me.
I'm looking forward to giving it a try and hopefully being a member of this forum will keep me on track

The deaths from consumption in the United States, in the year 1880, numbered 91,551, almost one-eighth the entire mortality from all causes. This pregnant fact seems to furnish at once an incentive and excuse for the following endeavor to ascertain what definite relation there is, if any such exists, between this disease and certain climatic conditions in the United States.
An obstacle is encountered at the very threshold of the inquiry in our defective system of registration. It must be admitted, in the first place, that many cases reported as consumption have no relation to that disease. It is also well known that many cases are not reported at all. The migratory character of a considerable body of the population—especially its westward flow—is also a disturbing element in a statistical study. And, finally, those regions, the climates of which have secured the reputation of being curative of consumption, have

Not Ready to Show Your New Face? a Beverly Hills Hotel Offers Refuge—and Silence
And when their clients come to Beverly Hills, crestfallen and breast-fallen, with furrowed brow or dragging bottom, they need a place to stay until the bandages have come off and the bruises have healed. They need a cocoon. They need, in short, Le Petit Ermitage, a 14-room hotel that caters only to plastic-surgery patients.
For rates of up to $375 a night—enough to require a tuck in the pocket-book—the hotel's guests are petted and abetted on their way to perfection. Checking in the night before surgery, they are ferried, discreetly, by limousine to their appointments the following morning. Afterward the limo—with a nurse on board—returns remodeled guests to the hotel's underground garage, where an elevator whisks them, safe from prying eyes, to the suites where their metamorphoses will be completed.
Le Petit Ermitage, an offshoot of the four-star L'Ermitage Hotel next door, has king-size beds and wet bars. It has 16 registered nurses. It has spa cuisine and physician-directed meals. It has beauticians, hairstylists and a makeup expert. The suites are tastefully decorated, and the lighting is restfully dim.
This latest wrinkle in the hotel world is the brainchild of Severyn Ashkenazy, 52, and his brother, Arnold, 54, who own eight small luxury hotels in L.A. "There were so many people checking into L'Ermitage after plastic surgery, coming in with staffs of nurses and chauffeurs," says Severyn. "So we decided, about four years ago, to open an annex to our hotel, and we created Le Petit Ermitage."
The Ashkenazy brothers—and all their employees—are unfailingly tight-lipped about the clientele. Yes, celebrities have stayed at the hotel, names you would recognize, with faces you would recognize too, give or take a few minor enhancements. But don't expect Le Petit to name names. Says Carol LaFourcade, registered nurse, licensed cosmetologist and Le Petit's administrator: "Discretion is part of the medical profession. No one on our staff is allowed to talk about anyone they've seen here."
Guests of course are entitled to talk about themselves if they wish. Josiah Dixon, a real estate developer from Akron, Ohio, recently spent three nights at Le Petit while recovering from a nose operation, an eye lift and the implantation of a Cary Grant cleft in his chin, which he says he always wanted. "They do everything for you here," says Dixon. "If you want to be pampered, this is the place to come."
LaFourcade wouldn't take exception to that, and she is willing to discuss plastic surgery generally. She vividly remembers the most unusual case she has seen at Le Petit, a man who was unhappy with his calves. "He always wanted to have muscular legs," she reports, "but no matter how hard he worked out, he couldn't develop them. So he had implants, just like women have breast implants."
From LaFourcade's observations—and Le Petit Ermitage is certainly the right place to make them—it seems that old standby, the nose job, is still No. 1 in Beverly Hills. "Blepharoplasty, or eye lifts, are second in demand," she states, "and I'd say breast augmentation ranks right up there." She also detects an increase in silicone implants to raise the cheekbones.
All of this is good news for the hotel, which usually puts up guests after their surgery for three or four nights. "While they're here," LaFourcade notes, "they make arrangements to come back for another procedure." Or, in plastic surgery terms, return to the fold.

These two parks (Sequoia and Kings Canyon) are home to giants: immense mountains, deep canyons, and the world's largest trees. Located in the southern Sierra Nevada range, the parks' elevations extend from 1,300 feet in the foothills to 14,491 feet at the summit of Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the contiguous 48 states. Plunging in the opposite direction, far below the surface, are over 200 marble caverns, many with endemic cave fauna. This huge variation in the landscape contributes to the collage of habitats that create a rich assemblage of terrestrial, aquatic and subterranean ecosystems.
Although Congress created these two parks in the southern Sierra Nevada at different times, Sequoia and Kings Canyon share miles of boundary. Sequoia was America's second national park designated in 1890. General Grant National Park, the forerunner of Kings Canyon, was the third, established in 1940.

yes which is good because i only have 2 remotes and four people wanting to play
Is it possible to play 2 player on bowling, with only one controller? I.e. you take it in turns to bowl.
yes which is good because i only have 2 remotes and four people wanting to play
Awesome, thanks a lot
It's a major pain in the ass to play a regular game with multiple people on one remote. It's better to do the training and one person play a whole session then pass it on. Much more fun
There is no spoon
Blipsten is lazy!!
well you technically can, but you would need to have one person play an entire game, and then the second person play a whole game. i would say its not as much fun just because you dont feel as if you're really competing with the other person.
4 players with 2 remotes works out fine. you just pass over the wiimote while the other person is bowling. you even have plenty of time to strap up.
you alternate turns, so it's just like being at a regular bowling alley (minus the smoke)

thats good, i never knew that before!

Coating Materials
Buoyed by their regulatory-friendly green profile, powder coatings are in for several years of robust growth worldwide, a new market forecast reports.
The global market for powder coatings is expected to reach $12.48 billion by 2020, with an average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.2 percent, according to "Powder Coatings Market Analysis by Application and Segment Forecasts to 2020," from San Francisco-based Grand View Research.
Their resistance to corrosion, chipping, abrasion and chemicals is gaining powder coatings favor in industrial applications worldwide.
"Powder coatings have numerous advantages over conventional liquids such as high-quality finish, higher resistance to corrosion, chipping and abrasion and protection from chemicals, moisture and heat," the report says.
"In addition, powder coatings are solvents free, resulting in negligible emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC), which in turn makes these products environmental friendly.
This results in organizations such as the [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] and [the European Union's REACH agency] promoting the use of powder coatings over conventional materials."
Key Applications
Consumer goods are the largest application market for powder coatings, comprising 22.1 percent of total market volume and an estimated consumption of 437.3 kilotons in 2013, Grand View reports.
Automotive and general industries were the key application markets, with combined powder coating sales expected to reach $5.11 billion by 2020, the report said.
Consumer goods makes up the largest application market for powder coatings.
Powder coatings have been experiencing rapid growth in the automotive sector, "due to the increased focus of external appearance of high-end cars," the report said. "The growing automotive industry in Asia Pacific, coupled with the increasing spending power of the regions, results in augmented demand for high-end luxury cars."
Automotive is expected to be the fastest-growing application for powder coatings in the years ahead, with an estimated CAGR of 7.7 percent from 2014 to 2020. China, the world's largest automotive producer, is also the largest consumer of powder coatings.
The furniture sector was a relatively small end market for powder coatings in 2013, but is expected to grow by 7.6 percent annually between 2014 and 2020.
Market Highlights
The report included these key findings:
Powder coating is used on aluminum extrusions and other architectural applications.

Tom Simmons took home the top prize over the weekend at the 34th annual San Francisco Comedy Competition, edging out Danny Bevins for the win. Maureen Langan, Jarrod Harris and Rodger Lizaola rounded out the final five. Simmons' previous credits include Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival, Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, BET's Comic View and Showtime's White Boyz in the Hood.
Here's a video of Simmons from Live at Gotham in 2006 talking about Iraq and being a new dad:

Shopping TaxUPDATED 5:41 PM MDT Jun 21, 2013
A spruced up Nob Hill experience may be in the cards, but it could come with a price.Video Transcript
.... BUT IT COULD COME WITH A PRICE. ACTION SEVEN NEWS REPORTER REGINA RUIZ JOINS US LIVE TO EXPLAIN THIS POSSIBLE NEW TAX. TANYA, WE KNOW RESIDENTS LOVE SHOPPING IN NOB HILL ...WELL THINGS COULD GET EVEN BETTER. THIS TAX WOULD BE ADDED ONTO THE BUSINESS OWNERS PROPERTY TAXES ... THE MONEY WOULD BE USED TO IMPROVE THINGS LIKE THE SIDEWALKS AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDINGS. THE QUESTIONS IS WILL IT THE COST BE PASSED ON TO US SHOPPERS. It's awesome, I love Nob Hill. : NOB HILL.... COSMOPOLITAN STYLE ...WITH SOPHISTICATION ... There's some personal flare, a lot of culture . NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE SHOPPING FOR.... I picked up some shoes at Urban Outfitters PICKING OUT WARDROBE STAPLES.... MAY SOON COME WITH UPGRADES TO THINGS LIKE FACADES AND WALKWAYS. I think there is a win-win for the city you have businesses wanting to invest in their own infrastructure, and own areas and the consumer is the benefitter. IT WILL BE A SELF IMPOSED PROPERTY TAX FOR BUSINESS OWNERS IN NOB HILL... THEY WILL DECIDE HOW MUCH THE TAX IS---HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ... THEN ALL OF THAT MONEY WILL GO INTO AN ACCOUNT TO PAY TO SPRUCE UP NOB HILL. I think it would work both ways, some companies may rise up and some may go down THE DOWNSIDE... THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THE EXTRA PROPERTY TAXES WON'T BE PASSED ON TO THE CUSTOMER... IF IT DID.... It definitely would affect my shopping OTHER SHOPPERS SAY A SMALL INCREASE WOULDN'T KEEP THEM AWAY. . I definitely think businesses would still thrive, Albuquerque has a strong customer base BUT, INCREASING ANY PRICES WOULD BE UP TO EACH BUSINESS... A MAJORITY OF BUSINESS OWNERS WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE THIS SELF IMPOSED TAX FOR IT TO BECOME A REALITY... SO IF 51% SAY YES... NOB HILL COULD SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FUTURE. IF APPROVED, NOB HILL WOULD BE CONSIDERED A BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. THE OTHER SIMILAR DISTRICT IS IN DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE.

what was your old diet like? what are you eating now? maybe give us some stats about yourself, your goals/expectations from eating a paleo/primal diet, and even your current activity and workout plan
Okay so this is literally my 2nd day of going primal and the sugar cravings can get a little bit much sometimes. Yesterday I felt sick to my stomach and almost nauseous and hadn't even eaten that much and I had to control myself to only eat 1 small slice of water melon. Today was a little better but the sugar cravings are still there. Its not even the legumes or breads getting to me, its just sugar. So what I'm trying to get at here is, will this go away? Will my cravings really shift over to fats and meats? All I know is that right now, going primal isn't really all that enjoyable at the moment lol.
what was your old diet like? what are you eating now? maybe give us some stats about yourself, your goals/expectations from eating a paleo/primal diet, and even your current activity and workout plan
yes it goes away. It takes time. Several months.
Carb flu is much easier to endure if you have a lot of sea salt. A teaspoon in a glass of water can be a huge booster in how you feel. Drink it slowly though.
For awhile the body isn't producing enough glucose. The fat burning takes a few weeks to really turn on. And there is a lot of autophagy going on -- the cells are discharging and using up trash proteins and all this takes its toll in how you feel.
Magnesium also is very helpful here. 250mg per day is great.
Be careful about caving into the sugar cravings. Don't eat the watermelon. Eat more fat!
Grass fed butter, coconut oil, palm oil...these are your friends. Eat a LOT of fat. But not too much -- your liver and gall bladder have to adjust to higher fat intake and this takes a few days to a week.
Hmmm well let's see, my breakfasts were usually oatmeal, eggs and toast, or pancakes. Lunch was usually a sandwhich, or "Lean cuisine" meals. Dinner: was all sorts of things from fish tacos, burgers, pasta pizza, baked ziti, etc. With a side of veggies. As you can see , mostly carbs, not to mention there would be many times throughout the week I would eat chocolate or cookies or even a huge bowl of captain crunch to satisfy my evening sweet tooth. As for goals, my main ones are to be healthy, feel better (energy & confidence), and to look better. I used to be a heavy in middle school and lost the weight in highschool from being a vegetarian, but ever since I started eating all foods again plus the evening binges that would occur do to the stressors of college, I've gained about 18lbs. back. Diets haven't work, I hate hard core exercise, and eating intuitively but whatever I want didn't make me feel all that awesome either which is why I am here .
I guess my only option really is to wait out.. and I'll try to keep my hands off the watermelon >.> lol thanks Richard
based on what you wrote, your former diet was pretty carb heavy, so you might have a tough time adjusting. just stick with it. remember too, that paleo/primal is not a low carb diet. it's perhaps lower in carbs that your old way of eating, but for a lot of people, its more than just meat and veggies. potatoes, sweet potatoes, fruit, white rice and other thing like that are perfectly acceptable. since you aren't hardcore in to working out, your body won't require a ton of carbs, but it is still ok to have a reasonable amount every day. weight loss will come with eating less and being a little more active. plain and simple. so its ok to have some fruit as a snack or some potatoes with your bacon and eggs. just be reasonable.
Hello! The sugar cravings can be pretty bad at first, and it can take a while for the body to switch from a SAD diet to a whole-foods diet. It is easier to kick the old sugar cravings if you restrict your carb sugar intake for a couple weeks or months, depending on your body.
That being said, once you have switched your diet to real food, you may want to see how you feel with fruit. I am not convinced that watermelon, sugary fruits, and tubers are detrimental to a healthy person with a healthy metabolism and gut (bar certain neurological and medical conditions). There are plenty of healthy people and healthy traditional societies that have thrived on a diet rich in fruit. But, again, it's pretty individual.
I also think that if you are nauseous, a small amount of fruit is a good idea. If you have nausea that is cured by fruit you actually are having a chemical issue that is resolved with fructose (that's the main ingredient in over the counter anti-nausea medication). IMO, nausea is different from "carb flu" which I think of as more a low blood sugar experienced when the body is not adapt at switching to the fat cycle.
In God we trust; all others must bring data. W. Edwards Deming

I found that the best way to deal with sugar cravings was not to eat any sweeteners (from cane sugar to raw honey) or anything that tasted sweet, even fruits or yams, for a couple of months. It can be tough, but if you're having issues with sugar it can really be worth it. I know that in my case there was no such thing as easing out of sugar. It had to be cold turkey.
If you stock up on and plan meals around really kickass primal foods, the cravings will be less severe. Really treat yourself. Its harder to miss sugar when you're filling up on high quality, indulgent foods. There should be no deprivation. You're not on a diet.
There's also no need to go 100% from day one. Its fine to make gradual changes as you learn your way around primal.
*My obligatory intro
There are no cheat days. There are days when you eat primal and days you don't. As soon as you label a day a cheat day, you're on a diet. Don't be on a diet. ~~ Fernaldo

Candidates for state Senate and House seats were all asked to answer:
* Hospital privatization. What is your position on the privatization of Maui Memorial Medical Center and the Hawaii Health System Corp.?
And, they were asked to choose and answer one of the following:
* Health Connector. What do you think of the state's rollout of the Health Connector? And what do you think should be done to "fix" it? Or should it be scuttled entirely?
* Political contributions. To what extent do you see political campaign contributions affecting Hawaii elections? Is there need for reform? If so, what would that be?
* Same-sex marriage. What do you think of the Hawaii Legislature's passage of a bill to legalize same-sex marriages? Is this the end of this issue?
* Electricity costs. Hawaii electricity consumers pay the highest power rates in the United States. What, if anything, can be done about this?
* Sunshine Law. Do you think Hawaii's Sunshine Law adequately protects the public's right to know? If not, what change is needed?
* State unfunded liabilities. Do you think enough is being done to address unfunded liabilities?
Political contributions: "Big contributions and corporate influence should be severely limited in political races. My race is completely self-funded."

Stun gun is excessive forceJanuary 30,2013
In the newspaper article, Vt. AG rules trooper justified in stun gun death, it states that the trooper was justified in his actions towards the man because a person is allowed to use force for protection if they believe they are in immediate danger of bodily harm, meaning self-defense. Since Mr. Mason, the dead man, was not armed and was hit with the stun gun by the trooper after he moved toward the trooper, Mr. Mason must have been very dangerous.
I always thought that police were trained in restraining people who are out of control and then slapping the cuffs on them and hauling them off to the slammer. If necessary, police can smack these violent people over the head with a police baton like the riot police did to the Occupy Wall Street protesters or the Vietnam War protesters from the 1960s. Yes, their heads do bleed, but they live to see another day.
The stun gun that killed Mr. Mason is really the issue here, not the officers conduct. People die from stun guns, so why are they still in use? Police need to restrain violent suspects, not stun gun them to death.
