I'll be taking a break from my series on the specifics of the Heritage Planning process and in this column will explore how you can learn firsthand the benefits of Heritage Planning for you, those you love and those you serve.
During May, workshops and events will be held around the nation to introduce Heritage Planning to families, individuals, non-profit organizations and all professional advisors. The workshops will be led by certified Heritage Professionals from the nonprofit and business worlds. These events are designed to help professionals and the people and organizations whom they serve to understand where, how and why Heritage Planning can help them achieve what matters most to them today, and for generations to come.
Heritage Planning's Origins
Two decades ago research began at The Heritage Institute (THI) in Portland, Ore. to address the fact that 90% of families fail to keep their unity and their assets together for multiple generations. That being the case, what do the 10% of families who succeed generation after generation do differently? How can we, as professionals, use that information to help our clients/donors become part of the successful 10%?
THI determined that the difference between families who fail and those who succeed is typically not a function of the quality of their financial or estate planning. It turns out that families who are able to sustain their family unity and assets across generations share many attributes in common, including how they intentionally teach and transmit those attributes to succeeding generations. THI identified those elements, and used them to create a planning process to supplement good financial and estate planning by filling in the 'gaps' that doom most families.
Heritage Planning Defined
Heritage Planning can best be understood in the context of its relationship to financial and estate planning.
- Financial Planning: Grows and protects your assets and can be as simple as the monthly household budget or as complex as sophisticated long-range planning designed in consultation with an entire team of professional advisors.
- Estate Planning: Passes the assets to your heirs and can entail anything from a simple will to dynasty trusts, offshore planning and multi-faceted philanthropic plans.
- Heritage Planning: Experts agree that the reason that 90% of inheritance plans fail is that the heirs are not prepared to receive their inheritances. Heritage Planning provides a mechanism by which the children are mentored, guided and trained in leadership, money management, communication and other important skills. It prepares heirs to receive both their financial as well as their emotional inheritances. Heritage Planning can be as simple as the creation of special family traditions that foster communication among family members, and as sophisticated as the establishment of multi-generational family governance structures.
The 'Soft' Side of Planning? Hardly
When the wealth management group Family Office Exchange did a perceived risk study, asking respondents, in essence, what they thought might 'get them' financially, the majority of respondents said that it would be poor planning and investments. Only 7% thought it would have anything to do with family dynamics. In contrast, when Williams and Preisser conducted a comprehensive survey of over 3,000 families who really had lost their wealth and asked 'What actually got you?' 60% said it was lack of communication and trust in the family, 25% said it was unprepared heirs, and only 5% said that poor planning and investments were the problem.
To keep a family and its assets together for several generations the family must develop a culture of communication and trust, and it must prepare heirs for both the financial and emotional inheritances they will receive. That is what Heritage Planning does. It deals first and foremost with the unity, strength and harmony that people desire for their family now, and in the future. Through this process, children come to learn that money is only a tool to help accomplish what really matters. All families are unique, of course, and that means that the financial and other strategies they use to achieve their goals will be unique, too. However, families that wish to remain united and effective for multiple generations can all benefit from the use of Heritage Planning to achieve their dreams.
Heritage Planning Month Events
All of the planned Heritage Planning Month events will only be educational and informational. Events open to the general public are free, as are the live nationally broadcast webinars (one for professionals and one for the public) that will be held on May 16th. The workshops will range in duration from three hours for many public, nonprofit and advisor introductory events, up to two-day workshops for advisors and nonprofit professionals who want in-depth, hands-on training.
Live Webinars
On May 16th, two special webinars will be streamed live online. These free, 90-minute broadcasts will be led by Rod Zeeb, CEO and co-founder of The Heritage Institute, and co-creator of The Heritage Process.

Reminiscing: Why I Relay
Why I Relay. Relay for Life. Fantasy Faire.
I relay because of a phone call that changed my life forever. 5 years ago my brother phoned to tell me that he hadn't been feeling well; it didn't sound serious, perhaps he was afraid to scare me, he was after all my big brother. I was so proud of my brother for overcoming his severe learning disability and pursuing a college degree, so our call quickly changed to a story he was writing for class. Growing up my brother could barely read, I beamed with pride. My brother was my hero in every sense of the word and I couldn't fathom a world without his presence; for surely the sun would stop shining and birds would cease to sing. He is my shining star.
I relay because a few days later my brother informed me that the doctors diagnosed him with lung cancer, Stage 4. I rallied because we were going to beat this, I was determined. We laughed, we cried, we told stories and mostly we told each other how much we loved each other and how proud we were of each others accomplishments. It was never a good-bye, it was a love that was to nourish our spirit and strengthen our fight against this disease. The big C… I can hardly bring myself to even say the word.
I relay because of twenty minutes. Twenty minutes. I drove ten hours through the night a few weeks later to visit my brother. The drive seemed to last for an eternity. My mind played memories of growing up and of things my big brother did that brought a smile to my face. I thought about the things we could do while I visited and I thought about vitamin concoctions I read about on the internet. I thought about his diet and the stories I read from survivors. I stopped for coffee, I was tired and had to pee; I shouldn't have stopped for coffee. I waited in line for 20 minutes thinking about the difference in my brother's voice during our last conversation. I continued to drive, armed with my smile and arsenal of love. My brother died 20 minutes before my arrival. Twenty minutes.
I relay because from that second on I lost a piece of me. It was as if this darkness enveloped my world and even after it dissipated the residual energy hung over me like a wet drape. Heavy and limp. I think of my brother every day. I hated the big C. I cursed it. In a blink of an eye it managed to steal my brother from me and leave behind a trail of heartache that went well beyond me. There should be a word stronger than "mourning." There is no word in the English language that could effectively describe the loss of a piece of yourself. There just isn't.
I relay because one day there will be a cure. I am positive of this. I relay for those who are fighting, those who survived, and for those who are left behind. I relay because I have hope. I relay because each year a tiny part of me returns when I read other's stories and as silly as this sounds… as I round the track on SL with Gopu. I give a piece of myself to everyone I encounter and they give it back ten-fold. I relay for my brother and my family. I relay with a dream that the world will become cancer free.
Dedicated to David, the world is a better place because of you. I miss you. Everyday.

Adams looking forward to representing Wayland in 2014
November 13, 1013
PLAINVIEW – Admittedly, Nicole Adams is what she said some people might consider a
little different.
"I'm probably more of what people call weird," she said.
It is, however, her unique perspective and total acceptance of who God created her to be that fuels her passion and makes her the perfect choice to wear the Miss Wayland crown in 2014.
Adams competed with nine other college co-eds on Nov. 9 in Harral Auditorium for the right to wear the Miss Wayland crown. When the final name was called, it was Adams who stood alone.
"Weird" isn't really the perfect description for Adams. Her personality is one that simply looks at things a little differently. She approaches life with a smile on her face, never trying to fit in, looking for the humor in her surroundings. It is a personality that she grew into once she moved beyond the compulsion to fit in and past her insecurities about being around the "popular people" of whom she held a stereotypical view.
"It seemed like everything about their life was perfect," she said. "That is something
I struggled with. I would ask God, why did you make me this way? Why do I have this
type of personality? I wanted to be myself. Everything about me wanted to be who God
created me to be. I just wasn't confident enough to do that."
Adams was born in Fort Worth and moved to Amarillo with her family when she was very young. From third grade through high school, aside from her freshman year when she attended Amarillo High, Adams went to school in Claude where her mother worked. Adams said she really had no desire to attend college after high school, but her parents, Tinia and Steve, were adamant that she continue with her education.
"I don't like change. I was terrified of going to college," Adams said. "My parents definitely were not OK with that. I had to go to college."
Adams said her parents drug her to a college fair where they visited a number of booths, most of which didn't impress the soon-to-be college freshman. Steve and Tinia both had backgrounds in psychology and social work. Adams found herself interested in the field of psychology, but she wanted to go to a private, faith-based school. That desire led her, or more specifically her dad, to Hardin-Simmons University.
"My dad fell in love with Hardin-Simmons," she said. A visit to the HSU campus, however, had Adams heading in the other direction. "It wasn't where I needed to be. I couldn't be myself. It was really quite terrifying."
Adams said she used the experience to impress upon her parents that she didn't need to go to college and she was happy staying at home. Her mother, however, had other plans. Tinia signed her daughter up for Big Weekend, a college preview weekend held each spring at Wayland.
"I wound up coming to Big Weekend. I wasn't going to, but I did," Adams said. "I walked into the dorm and wound up staying and fell in love. I fell in love with the people and the place and this became home."
A junior, psychology major, Adams quickly fell in the love with her academics as well, embracing the field of psychology. She said one of her weird traits is being able to approach people and get them to talk when others might find the interaction uncomfortable. These skills, along with her love of people and getting to know them on a personal level has driven her passion for psychology.
"I've always been good at getting people to open up," she said. "I wanted to use the basic skills God had given me to further His kingdom."
Adams said it's fascinated to look beyond the surface when dealing with people to learn more about their background and why they think in certain ways.
"In a way (psychology) teaches you to look at the big picture as opposed to what your eyes and your senses see at that moment," she said.
While Tinia Adams played a major role in getting her daughter to Wayland, it was also her influence that prompted Nicole to compete for Miss Wayland. Nicole said her mother loved the idea and all the preparation that it entails.
"I wanted something to be able to relate with to my mom," Adams said. "I saw that Miss Wayland was a way to do that. It gave us something to talk about. Whether we were arguing about which outfit to wear or talking about my talent, it gave us something to engage over."
While winning the title was definitely a bonus, Adams said the relationships she built with the other contestants and the overall experience was well worth the time and effort it took to prepare for the competition. Now, however, she is embracing the responsibilities that come with being Miss Wayland and will use the position to promote the school. Whether she is speaking about her passions, such as the Diakonia project, a backpack project that provides food for elementary school students each weekend, or promoting the university to prospective students, Adams said she can't wait for the opportunities.
Adams said she is also excited about whatever doors God may open for her. She hopes to one day work with families and churches on connecting generationally and closing those communication gaps that grow between parents and children. She knows this will include additional education however, and is already making plans to work toward a double master's degree in family ministry and family counseling -- a degree she plans to pursue at Hardin-Simmons.
"But only the Lord knows," she said. "He can change that at any moment."

Stress Reduction Techniques
Feelings of stress and anxiety can strike at any time. They often creep up when you start to feel a loss of control—maybe over how your skin looks or how much work is on your plate.
Research shows a strong connection between stress and psoriasis; in fact, feeling stressed is a documented trigger for flares of psoriasis.
While some amount of stress in life is probably unavoidable, take a few moments to evaluate any sources of anxiety you are feeling in your life right now.
Think about the kinds of things you can do to help you feel more relaxed, such as developing an action plan to tackle a problem or participating in an activity you really enjoy.
A technique called progressive muscle relaxation can help ease stress. It can be done just about anywhere.
- Start by wearing loose-fitting clothes. Dim the lights and sit in a comfortable chair.
- Once seated, take several slow, deep breaths. Practice tensing and relaxing your muscles five seconds at a time, starting with your feet and working your way up your body. Pay attention to how your body feels when it's not tensing.
Over time, this exercise can help you learn the difference between a tense and relaxed body.

Hope this is relative here, but for interest available, there is an English translated comic page of "Pyrenee" that can be found here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/65988731/Pyrenee
Good day. I really like your website - what a lot of stuff on it. I have not had a chance to look at all of it yet. I am a collector of all sorts of things, but mostly toys. I grew up in South Africa in the 1970's and can remember Jungle Book items (from cardboard) that could pop out and then one could place or hand them on a pop up stand (I think). I recently got hold of a few of the cards. They have written on themL The Jungle Book, Caltex, Boron (all on the front) and Walt Disney Production, Prov Pat No 72/7121 (at the back). A character is displayed (both teh front and the back of the character), which can then be popped out. My questions: can you tell me more about these cards, e.g. how many are in the set, where could one look to buy them, where can one find the stand (or even just a picture of it)? I hope you can assist in some way - any information will be appreciated. Many thanks, my best regards, craig

Nice to know this site.Wow how the world has progressed!
When I was a child there was this contest where we had to collect the inner parts of metal caps of soft drinks that had images of Mowgli and his friends.We had to collect them and stick them on a book.
Keep up the good work.

Nearly 50 years to the day since Dr. Sylvester Sanfilippo first characterized the disease Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) III in a presentation to the American Pediatric Society, three parent-run foundations have awarded investigators at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, OH with a $550,000 grant to support a natural history study (NHS) of Sanfilippo Syndrome Types A & B. This is a crucial step, led by Dr. Kevin Flanigan, Center for Gene Therapy, and co-investigator Dr. Kim McBride, Center for Human & Molecular Genetics, towards bringing the gene therapy research of Drs. Haiyan Fu and Douglas McCarty, Center for Gene Therapy, to human clinical trials targeted for 2014.
Natural history studies are an important tool for understanding the untreated course and progression of the disorder, determining clinical outcome measures and identifying potential participants for clinical trials. Data collected from these types of studies are not typically shared between researchers other than through published papers, which often lag the studies by months or years. Since rare diseases like Sanfilippo Syndrome have small patient populations, participating in multiple studies places a burden on affected children and their families. That is why the Sanfilippo Research Foundation (Ben's Dream), The Children's Medical Research Foundation, Inc. (A Cure for Kirby) and The Sanfilippo Children's Research Foundation (A Life for Elisa) worked closely with Nationwide Children's to ensure that data collected from this study would be available to other qualified institutions.
"We traveled with our daughter Blair from Florida to Minnesota to participate in a study sponsored by industry and while I am very excited by the progress of research, the idea of traveling and putting her through those tests again is daunting. I am so pleased that Nationwide Children's has agreed to share the data collected in their study. I think this will ease the burden on families, and quicken the pace of research worldwide," said Susan Chapin, Orlando, Florida.
Sanfilippo Syndrome, is a group of four devastating lysosomal storage diseases, each caused by a deficiency in an essential enzyme. Children with Sanfilippo Syndrome appear normal at birth, but develop severe progressive developmental delays and neurological disorders. Sanfilippo Syndrome is a fatal disease and there is currently no treatment available. Drs. Fu and McCarty have developed novel, non-invasive gene therapy approaches that involve delivery of the corrected gene with a simple intravenous injection.
"Although neurological impact is the major problem, Sanfilippo Syndrome affects the entire body," said Dr. Fu. "Therefore we need to treat the entire nervous system and as many organs as possible in order to have the best outcome. Our gene therapy technique is minimally invasive and shows widespread expression throughout the whole body. Without the funding from these organizations we wouldn't be on the edge of clinical trials—more is still needed to do all the work necessary to ensure we're successful in treating the disease."
In addition to the grant for the NHS, the three foundations have collaborated since 2010 to provide over $610,000 in funding to advance the gene therapy research at Nationwide Children's for Sanfilippo Syndrome. This support enabled the Nationwide Children's team to garner two additional NIH grants totaling $3.75M to advance their gene therapy work to the point of submission for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA for clinical trials for which a NHS is required.
About the Sanfilippo Research Foundation, Inc.
The Sanfilippo Research Foundation, Inc. was formed by Jennifer and Stuart Siedman in honor of their son Benjamin's fifth birthday. Ben's Dream has raised over $1.2 million dollars for research and has been supporting the work of Dr. Haiyan Fu at Nationwide Children's since 2004. The Sanfilippo Research Foundation commits 96 cents of every dollar raised to research.

About The Children's Medical Research Foundation, Inc.
The Children's Medical Research Foundation, Inc. was formed in 1995, shortly after Kirby, the daughter of founders, Sue and Brad Wilson, was diagnosed with Sanfilippo Syndrome. To date, this non-profit foundation has awarded $3.7 million dollars to research at seven universities, with more than 95% of all receipts appropriated to funding research.

Formed in 1998, The Sanfilippo Children's Research Foundation, located in Canada is a volunteer organization which has raised and committed over $4 million dollars towards Sanfilippo research; funding 30 research projects in five different countries. Nineteen year old, Elisa Linton, daughter of founders, Elizabeth and Randall Linton suffers from Sanfilippo Syndrome.

Two mortar shells hit Syria's capital on Saturday near a hotel where international chemical weapons inspectors and UN staff are staying, state media and a hotel guest said.
In the north, clashes between rival rebel factions left nearly 50 gunmen dead in three days of fighting for control of neighborhoods in the city of Aleppo, an activist group said.
An eight-year-old girl was killed and 11 people were hurt in the blasts in the upscale Abu Roumaneh area of Damascus, the SANA news agency said.
One shell fell near a school and the other on the roof of a building.
The girl was in her family car near the school when she was killed, said the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, a Britain-based activist group monitoring the fighting.
The blasts damaged several cars and shattered nearby windows.
One resident was seen sweeping debris on a sidewalk, near where twisted metal pieces from the wreckage had been heaped in a small pile.
The blasts struck some 300m away from the Four Seasons Hotel where the chemical weapons inspectors and UN staff are staying.
A UN employee staying there said it did not appear that the hotel was affected by the twin explosions.
The hotel remained open after the blasts, he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
He said he heard the first
explosion at about 11:15am, followed by a second. Thick smoke rose from the area and ambulance sirens sounded shortly afterward.
Syrian rebels routinely fire mortar shells from the outskirts of Damascus at city neighborhoods controlled by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Last week, a similar attack reportedly killed eight people.
Inspectors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and UN staff have been in Syria for the past two weeks to destroy the country's chemical weapons stockpile.
The watchdog agency working to eliminate chemical weapons around the world won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a powerful endorsement of its Syria mission.
The OPCW inspectors have so far visited three sites linked to Syria's chemical weapons program, though the agency has not provided details.
On Saturday, before the mortar attack, a convoy of UN cars left the Four Seasons, but its destination was not known.
The inspectors' mission in Syria is unprecedented because of a tight timetable — they are to get the job done by the middle of next year — and because they are operating in the midst of a civil war.
They are to inspect more than 20 sites, some close to frontlines crisscrossing the country.
Earlier this week, Syrian warplanes twice bombed the rebel-held town of Safira, just a few kilometers from a large military complex believed to house an underground chemical weapons production facility.
Another mortar attack on Saturday in the regime-held Damascus suburb of Jaramana left two people dead and several others wounded, according to the Observatory.
SANA said that the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent evacuated on Saturday nearly 2,000 women and children from the rebel-held Damascus suburb of Moadamiyeh where people have complained about lack of food. SANA gave no further details.
The Syrian conflict erupted in March 2011 as a popular uprising against al-Assad that quickly escalated into civil war.
More than 100,000 people have been killed since then and millions of Syrians have been displaced.

This ultra long and super thick set of clip-in hair extensions have a straight style, with a slight wave at the bottom so it looks more natural. If you prefer a poker straight style, you can use hair straighteners on a low heat setting.
Because they're half-head extensions, they're ideal to add thickness to already long hair, or to give extra body to updos, half ups, ponytails and buns.
If your own hair is rather short, we recommend you order two packs or try the full head version of this product in 20" length, so you can achieve the desired thickness.
Each pack includes 8 SoftClose clips for maximum comfort.

In many cities and towns across the U.S., once the local ballet company completes its schedule, local fans have to pretty much wait until next season to get their dance fix. Not so in the San Francisco Bay Area. This dance-rich corner of the country fields a large number of companies that populate the regular fall/spring seasons and encompass everything from classical ballet to contact improvisation. Additionally, during the off-season, while some take a well-deserved break, other dancers and choreographers reconfigure, creating fascinating new companies.
Post:Ballet, led by Artistic Director and Choreographer Robert Dekkers, is one of the most exciting to appear in the last couple of years. Well received in its first outing in 2010, the local dance community recently filled the Herbst Theater for the company's sophomore outing — Seconds. The program included two premieres, as well as two works from its inaugural performance.
The two reprises, Flutter and Happiness of Pursuit, were well worth a revisit. Happiness of Pursuit provided a joyous exploration of pure movement, as its seven dancers grouped and regrouped in various configurations. Lots going on in this one — so much so that it will require more than one viewing to sort out all the details — looking forward to it.
In its original outing, Flutter was performed by three women. This time, however, Dekkers assigned the work to three men. The staccato and intricate first movement, set to Steve Reich's Clapping Music, missed the crispness needed to take the material from effective to dazzling. The second movement, set to a Bach partita, was more successful. Flowing movements, including a floor sequence reminiscent of an underwater ballet, gave Daniel Marshalsay, Jonathan Mangosing, and Christian Squires an opportunity to display an appealing lyricism.
Beginning with Jonathan Mangosing's spectacular opening solo, Interference Pattern is an absorbing examination of how seemingly random encounters influence and control one another. Here Dekkers provided Daniel Marshalsay and Christian Squires with one of the evening's most memorable duets. An unusual and effective combination of strength and tenderness overlaid with a subtle eroticism, it completely captured an exquisite moment. The only issue I have with this ballet is that it stopped, rather than concluded, causing the audience to hesitate in confusion before beginning its applause.
Although all of the works on this program were entertaining, the opening work, Colouring, made the most cohesive statement. An investigation of the creative process, the dance used choreography, music, visual art, and photography to illustrate how an artistic work is built, demonstrating that what appears as a fleeting moment on stage can take a vast amount of time and detail to construct.
Daniel Berkman performed his original score, while Enrique Quintero created a painting behind the two dancers, and photographer Natalia Perez documented the scene. Throughout the piece, the dancers incrementally added steps and positions as the pas de deux developed. Although deceptively simple to the viewer, the dancers' static starts and stops required a high degree of strength and technique; the appealing couple, Jared Hunt and Beau Campbell, were up to the task. At the end, all the pieces fit together, as Perez's images concluded the ballet.
Special kudos to Lighting Designer David Robertson, who gave each work its own energy, yet managed to keep the evening visually integrated.
Post:Ballet is an example of everything that is good about the Bay Area dance scene — inventive choreography, intriguing music, and top-notch dancers. It seems a shame that we have to wait a year for the next show.
In addition to its annual performance, Post:Ballet also participates in various events around town. For information, see Post:Ballet at www.postballet.org.

This form must be completed and submitted to the Uniform Patrol Commander or their designee no later than noon and two days prior to the event. Please submit this form online below or print the registration form and drop it off at: 1198 Tiger Blvd., Clemson, SC 29631
The Party Registration Program is intended solely as a cooperative effort between the City of Clemson and the Clemson City Police Department (CCPD) to reduce the negative consequences of excessive noise and other nuisance incidents associated with parties in residential neighborhoods. The purpose of the Party Registration Program is to provide party hosts and party attendees with an opportunity to receive a telephone warning and voluntarily terminate a party in the case of excessive noise or to voluntarily handle other nuisance activities after a complaint has been received by the CCPD.
Party Registration does not guarantee that a municipal and / or State summons will not be issued and the Registrant understands that the police may respond at any time to any party where there is a complaint of criminal conduct. Party Registration does not limit in any manner the authority of the police to respond to a party for any reason whatsoever without previously providing a warning. The CCPD will use reasonable efforts to contact the party Registrant and provide a warning when appropriate. However, the Registrant acknowledges that a warning call is not guaranteed under this program. Furthermore, the warning and termination of a party is only available for no more than three (3) times per party registration – additional noise or nuisance complaints subsequent to a warning telephone call will not receive the benefit of an additional warning call on the same date and time in question; and are subject to enforcement action(s).
The City of Clemson and the CCPD neither condone nor sponsor any party which has been registered with the Party Registration Program. Participation in the Party Registration Program does not constitute approval of any such party or related activities by the City of Clemson or the CCPD. Voluntary participation in the Party Registration Program simply shows the party host(s) is trying to be responsible and understand the consequences that could fall therein.
The City of Clemson and the CCPD are not liable for the conduct or actions of any guests, hosts, or individuals associated with a party registered with the Party Registration Program. Participation in the Party Registration Program does not guarantee that the host(s) or attendees of the registered party will be relieved of any legal consequences arising from any conduct or actions associated with the party.
The City of Clemson and the CCPD shall not be liable for damages to property or injuries to or death of any person or persons arising from a party which has been registered with the Party Registration Program. Hosts who are registering a party with the Party Registration Program are highly encouraged to visit with CCPD officials for informational resources regarding hosting a safe party.
Party host(s) and party attendees are responsible for complying with federal, state and local laws, including but not limited to paying any fines or fulfilling and legal obligations that may arise as result of enforcement actions.

If you are told during the telephone warning to shut the party down, you will be given twenty (20) minutes to comply. Not hearing your phone will be no excuse for why you did not break up the party when the police arrive or when talking to the judge.
► The secondary contact will only be called once in the event you do not answer your phone as the primary contact person.
► Shutting down your party means that everyone but the people who live in the registered address leave the party and do not return for the remainder of the evening/morning.

Like we said, everyone knows Cambro for its CamSquare® Food storage containers and Insulated Transporters (aka "Hotboxes"). But did you know it all started with a hospital tray? In 1951, Campbell brothers William and Argyle were asked to create a durable hospital tray for the American Hospital Supply Corporation. William was the manufacturing innovator, and Argyle was the pioneer salesman. William decided to play with using fiberglass, and the ever popular Camtray® was born. The two brothers founded Cambro Manufacturing shortly after (Campbell + Brothers = Cambro. Get it?). Since then Cambro has greatly expanded their product line and continues to deliver innovative and superior foodservice supplies.
Cambro started as a family-run business and remains that today.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A salty diet may increase the risk of stomach cancer by 10 percent, South Korean researchers found in a study of more than 2 million people.
They found a "weak but positive" association between a preference for salt and an increased risk of stomach cancer.
Although the mechanisms by which salt may be involved in the development of stomach cancer remain unclear, "restricting salt intake is thought to be beneficial for preventing gastric cancer," Jeongseon Kim and colleagues from the National Cancer Center Research Institute in Goyang-si, South Korea, note in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Stomach cancer (or gastric cancer) is a major cancer in much of the world but not the United States. While gastric cancer is declining, it is still the most common cancer in Korea. Past studies have yielded conflicting results as to whether a salty diet causes gastric cancer, though most found an association between salt use and gastric cancer.
Kim and colleagues assessed the effect of salt preference in relation to gastric cancer in more than 2.2 million South Korean adults aged 30 to 80 years old. All of them provided information on diet and lifestyle and had health checkups between 1996 and 1997.
According to the Korea Central Cancer Registry, over the course of 7 years, 9,620 men and 2,773 women developed stomach cancer. According to Kim and colleagues, people who preferred salty diets had a 10 percent increased risk of developing gastric cancer.
Dr. Al B. Benson III, a gastric cancer specialist from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, who was not involved in the study, said while the Korean findings are not definitive, they do support the long-suspected association between salt intake and gastric cancer.
He said how salt is consumed may be important. For example, he cited a Japanese study that found that sodium in the form of table salt posed risks for heart disease but not cancer, while salted foods, such as processed fish, were associated with cancer and not cardiovascular disease.
"The implication is that in areas where salt is used as a way to preserve foods, such as pickling, there is a higher risk," Benson explained. "This link would make sense for Asian countries and Eastern Europe, including Russia in particular, where salting of foods has been a mainstay of the diet."
Benson also noted that incidence of gastric cancer, while higher than in the United States, has been declining in Korea, due largely to changes in the diet and also in food preservation of methods, especially the use of refrigeration.
The same sort of decline in gastric cancer occurred in the United States decades ago.
"Gastric cancer was the leading cause of cancer death in the United States in the 1930s, but rates have dropped over time, probably due to a number of factors," including declining rates of infection with Helicobacter pylori (a bacterium responsible for ulcers and stomach inflammation)," Dr. Eric Jacobs, of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, who was not involved in the study, noted in an email to Reuters Health.
Gastric cancer no longer ranks among the 10 most common cancers in this country, Jacobs mentioned. Still, the American Cancer Society estimates that there were about 21,000 new cases of gastric cancer and 11,000 deaths from gastric cancer in the U.S. in 2009.
Should Americans cut back on salt to prevent gastric cancer? Marji McCullough, nutritional epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society, said, "It is not clear that reducing salt consumption would meaningfully reduce gastric cancer risk in U.S. populations. However, U.S. government guidelines recommend avoiding excessive salt intake in order to reduce risk of high blood pressure."
Benson said immigrants might want to take a closer look at their dietary salt intake. "If you now live in the United States, although are originally from an area of the world with high gastric cancer rates, then you should look at your current diet and consider reduction of salted foods. Otherwise, for most of the U.S. population, (the Korean) study would not be relevant," Benson noted.

The Basics:
So, you just bought a state of the art projector complete with an anamorphic lens to take full advantage of the 2:35 CinemaScope aspect ratio, but your screen of old is only 16:9. Time to upgrade to Stewart's CineCurve super-wide 2.40:1 aspect ratio screen. Unlike Stewart's own Cine-W screen, the CineCurve features silent motorized masking to allow for content not originally captured in 2.35:1. Like all Stewart Screens, the CineCurve is custom-made to order, meaning you specify the size and screen material to suit your needs, budget and room. The CineCurve can be outfitted with any of Stewart's fine screen materials, including their Cinemaperf and Microperf X2 finishes, which allow for speakers to be placed behind the curved screen.
While I was already a fan of Stewart's Cine-W line of screens, the CineCurve adds a level of usability and sophistication any true diehard home theater fan is bound to enjoy. For starters, not all films are captured in Cinemascope or 2.35:1 aspect ratios; in fact, many are not. However, the CineCurve system has a motorized masking element that can "collapse" the image space to provide precise viewing of 16:9 and even 4:3 material. Having a screen that uses black velvet to frame an image is a vast improvement over letting your projector simply display black or often dark gray bars. Having a light-eating frame around your image will improve contrast, combat light leakage and add punch to your image in ways you can't begin to imagine until you see it in practice.
The Downside:
Stewart's CineCurve screen is impressive, but it's not suitable for every application. This is not the type of screen you're going to want to install in any room other than a dedicated home theater. Its curved surface and motorized masking system demand a custom installer's touch for the sleekest possible installation. Also, if you're going to be watching a boatload of non-2:35 material, your image is going to be drastically smaller than your total screen size, covering much of your investment in black velvet.
If you consider yourself a true diehard film fanatic and blockbuster epics and action films are your bag, then you'll find that the Stewart CineCurve screen is tailor-made for you. For a movie night of the highest caliber, nothing can beat the latest Hollywood blockbuster captured in full 2.35:1 on a Stewart CineCurve screen.

We turned it over 20 times and it looked just that bad. We couldn't get it in bounds and then couldn't handle it once we did. We had three guys score 20, and the real bonus was getting Derrick Brooks back. Since we have lost twice to the worst in the league we now need to get to Macon and pick up another road win.
While I haven't read anything about it, our agreement with the ACC on referees must be over. We just get some really questionable calls that seem to come mostly on the road. As a matter of fact, we have gotten the best ref in the league several times at home. Tonight we played through it, but it continues to concern.

Bell-bell processes save time and money for metallic paint application
Bell-bell processes save time and money for metallic paint application
Keywords: Robots, Painting
A significant trend over the past 5 years has been an increase in the use of rotary atomizers, or bells, for metallic painting applications. This approach is commonly called a "bell-bell" process to distinguish it from the previous standard process that utilized a spray gun for the second coat of basecoat application to obtain the desired color characteristics (Plate 3). The bell-bell process is being used by OEMs as well as auto component and general industrial suppliers, and is generally implemented to take advantage of the cost, quality and environmental benefits of using higher transfer efficiency application equipment. Recent advances in both material and application equipment technologies have made this processing approach a very practical and beneficial application for many companies.
Plate 3 Bells have a significantly higher transfer efficiency rate than conventional spray guns
Why implement a bell-bell process?
A primary motivation for adapting this process is cost savings. Bells have a significantly higher transfer efficiency rate than conventional spray guns. Typical transfer efficiency improvements expected for bells compared to non-electrostatic and electrostatic spray guns are 40-50 and 25-35 percent, respectively. In addition to material cost savings, manufacturers will also see savings due to reduced hazardous emissions as well as reduced spray booth cleaning frequency. Dirt related defects can be reduced because higher transfer-efficient bells generate less overspray than spray guns and consequently less paint buildup on equipment. It is not uncommon for customers who have replaced spray guns with bells to see a two to three times reduction in the cleaning frequency of their spray booths and application equipment.
Quality improvements can also be expected with a bell-bell process. This is due to the improved ability of a bell to atomize the paint compared to a spray gun. The bell-bell process can improve overall paint film uniformity, especially if robots, with their accuracy and path repeatability, are used as the automation equipment transporting the bells. This improved uniformity will reduce defects such as paint sags and other film thickness related problems. In addition, manufacturers have utilized this improved uniformity to either reduce the target film build requirement (for material savings benefits) or to increase the target film build (for quality improvements). Both of these are enabled because the uniform application allows the end- user to operate more robustly on either the low- or high-end of the film build requirements.
Considerations when applying a bell-bell application to your facility
With the proper application, planning and validation, a bell-bell application is generally an excellent choice for many painting applications. However, there are some things to consider in determining if this process is right for your application.
Is there another painting process that the bell-bell system needs to match? Some plants may have a different paint line that is using alternative application equipment such as spray guns to paint the same parts. Also, a different process may be used to paint other parts, such as fascias, and the parts must match the vehicle being painted with the new bell- bell process. If these conditions exist, additional testing and flexibility in color matching standards is generally required.
Because a bell atomizes paint differently than a spray gun, the color and appearance will generally be different with the two applications if the identical paint is used. Adjustments to the paint formulation or solvents used are generally required when converting to a bell-bell process. If the bell-bell process is being retrofitted into a facility that also has a gun-gun or bell-gun process with the same paint, the ability to adjust the paint is more limited. A similar condition exists if a bell-bell process is being adapted to an OEM facility that also receives parts such as fascias from an outside supplier. A small color shift to one side of the paint color standard as a result of the bell-bell process may be more significant if a part supplier is operating on the other side of the standard.
The number of colors currently being sprayed in the facility is also a factor to consider with a bell-bell process. If the existing paint needs to be adjusted with the implementation of the new process, this can present a problem if a large color palette exists. For most automotive suppliers, the typical color palette is 18- 24 colors, which is very manageable in converting to a new process. On the other hand, an industrial truck supplier with a palette of 300 colors would have a much greater challenge in implementing the new process.
Cost is a third item to consider when implementing a bell-bell process. In most cases, the return on investment for these applications is very fast due to the significant savings realized. However, in addition to the added cost of the bell application equipment, the spray validation testing costs, as well as the cost of training the manufacturing staff should be considered when doing a business case for a specific application.
Keys to success
The three-legged stool
Probably the most important key for success in implementing a bell-bell process is strong cooperation between the end-user, the paint supplier and the application/automation equipment supplier. The end-user will be critical to determine the color and quality requirements and trade-offs for the process both up front and during the spray validation process. The paint supplier plays a key role in making adjustments to the paint during the spray testing for the new process. The application equipment supplier will provide the flow rate estimates, recommend process parameter adjustments, and will generally be responsible for programming the automation equipment on site. It is critical that all three parties work closely through this process to find the best solution. Also, since these people will be working together through the launch of the system, the training, relationships and teamwork established during the testing phase will pay large dividends during the critical launch periods.
Plan early, test early
In many cases, new application and automation systems are installed just a few months after purchase. This provides a limited timeline for performing the desired spray testing and paint adjustment process. Spray testing to find the optimal process is accomplished by performing panel spray testing at either the paint supplier's or application equipment supplier's facility. This precious lab time generally needs to be reserved far in advance.
For spray testing, three to five colors which represent the entire color palette are chosen. Typically silver (or the brightest color) is chosen to make sure the brightness and travel requirements are optimized. Another bright metallic (such as gold) is included for brightness and hue optimization. In addition, two to three other colors from the medium and dark metallic paints in the palette are selected. If the paint palette contains a high film build and low solid content color, it should be selected to determine the application parameters and resulting appearance. The testing of all of these colors is focused on finding the optimal quality at the required color standards. It is common to have slightly different process settings for the paints within the different color families.
Testing these colors takes approximately 2 weeks. If adjustments to the material are required based on the data from the first round of testing, a second round of tests may be performed on some of the colors. Finally, once optimal process settings are determined, confirmation panels on all colors may be sprayed.
Training at all levels
Training of engineering, maintenance and system operators is crucial for continued success of a newly implemented bell-bell system. In many cases, manufacturers may already have bells in some parts of their paint shop (such as a clearcoat zone) which will be beneficial from an operation and maintenance perspective. However, the bell equipment developed for the bell-bell process may be different from the previous equipment and almost certainly will have different guidelines for how to optimize or adjust the process. For instance, understanding how adjustments to bell speed, shaping air, electrostatic settings, and film build ratios impact color and quality needs to be understood by those responsible for the new system in production.
If the facility does not currently contain bells, the maintenance, operation, and troubleshooting methods are significantly different than those of spray guns. Therefore, up-front planning of training with hands-on experience through the launch is key to a smooth transition of the new process.
The proliferation of the bell-bell process in the painting industry has been one of the most relevant recent advances in the industry in terms of its impact on finish paint quality, environmental benefits and cost reductions. With proper planning, testing, and cooperation from all parties involved, a bell-bell process may be just what you need to gain that next level of performance in your paint shop.
