Xylan® XLR - Fluoropolymer Coating
Product Announcement from Whitford Corporation
What users are saying about new Xylan® XLR:
Foam release
A moulder of specialty foams was having difficulties getting the foam to release from the coated mould he was using. He had experimented with many release coatings, including PFA, all without success. Then he heard of Xylan XLR and asked Whitford for a sample. To his surprise, once coated with Xylan XLR, the mould released the foam undamaged. To his greater surprise, the mould continued to release the foam.
Perfect release
A moulder of an optically clear item for use in the automotive industry had a costly and serious problem. In order to preserve the optical integrity of the part, he was forced to have his moulds recoated every other day in order to maintain sufficient release characteristics to produce a perfect part. The moulder agreed to try Xylan XLR and was delighted not only to find that the coating released perfectly, but that it kept on releasing perfectly. The mould has been operating for several weeks without requiring recoating (versus 2 days maximum with the old coating).
Polyester release
A manufacturer of polyester balloons was hoping to reduce his costs by finding a release coating that would provide more cycles than any coating he had previously tested. After hearing of Xylan XLR, he ordered a sample and coated his substrate for testing. Xylan XLR provided 50 times more release cycles than any other coating he had used (previous best cycles were 10, and Xylan XLR provided 500).

What was the most difficult business decision that you've had to make?
The acquisition of Bare Escentuals—not because it was such a difficult decision but it was a difficult environment. The financial crisis had just started. We'd started to accelerate our globalization and you had the stock price collapse and then partly rebuilt so every evaluation was difficult to read. Was it cheap, was it not cheap? Nevertheless, we believed that this was really a very good opportunity.
How has that business evolved since the acquisition?
It's very positive. From a financial point of view, we are above our expectation. It's also important from a learning perspective. We've learned from Bare Escentuals a lot about digital media and Bare Escentuals has gathered a lot of knowledge from us. Just one year after the acquisition, we launched skin care based on Shiseido technology yet developed by the Bare Escentuals team. We're moving with the Bare Escentuals brand, especially in Japan. In the U.S. we're moving into more store-based businesses.
How has the earthquake affected business and the consumer psyche in Japan and Japan's future?
It's a tremendous tragedy that we all experienced and it reminds me daily how [unpredictable] the whole system is. Life...it can all be turned around in barely two minutes. There's a strength and resilience in this country and especially as a society. Shiseido is really a part of the fabric of Japanese life. So what Japan has to deal with, Shiseido has to deal with and we are working hard on rebuilding the country together to show the strength of the Japanese character. The unity and self-restraint that the company has and the country has are very important.
It's not only an issue of the area where the earthquake happened but it's the sentiment of the whole country. We have to start working so that enjoyment is nothing to be ashamed of. Over the next few months there will be a return back to a normal lifestyle. But what will remain is the experience of going through this crisis, starting to rebuild, and that energy can help infuse a new lifeblood into the country.
Japanese consumer confidence was low before the quake. How long do you think it will take to recover?
I honestly don't know. We all have to work on that. The good thing is that you see a stronger momentum in the western part of Japan and hopefully that will bring a wave of goodwill and momentum into the east.
Has the earthquake situation impacted your international business?
Not in that big a way. We have a lot of overseas factories and actually most of our products that we sell internationally are produced out of Japan. Safety has become another big topic, so we work very closely with an outside [radiation testing agency] to make sure that our products are safe. We have [Geiger counters] so we can have seamless quality control across the whole supply chain and distribution chain.
How do you see China evolving and how central is that to Shiseido's overall strategic plan?
China is a very, very important market. We are now 30 years in China. We invested the first 10 years in R&D and education without actually doing business and then we started to do our own business. We started to build up a dedicated Chinese brand, Aupres, developed specifically for the Chinese market and the Chinese beauty approach. The multidimensional aspect of beauty is driven by the kind of breakthrough that Chinese beauty has in Asia and in the world now. You see more catwalk models from China. You see that the actors and actresses are making inroads into Hollywood. We have established a bigger business set up. We have trading and R&D facilities. The whole Chinese business infrastructure becomes much more diverse and stronger.
How complex are Chinese women in their skin care routines? Is it evolving in the direction of the classic Japanese example of the multistep process?
We believe it's going that way, that the Chinese consumer will have a multistep approach. They are very eye-focused. Eye cream is becoming bigger and bigger. You will have an in-bath usage, because like Japanese women, they have an evening shower or bath routine. So you see a lot of similarities, but because of the size of the country you see differences, some based on climate for example. You have a very dry north and a rather wet south.
What do you do to relax?
I like driving—fast. What I really enjoy is that concentration that you need when you drive fast. It kind of wipes your mind because if you have a certain speed you have to concentrate on the traffic and the road and that basically takes every other kind of thought away and that's very relaxing. Whenever I can—when I'm in Germany obviously it's easier [laughs]—I try to drive. Vacation, I like scuba diving and it's similar as well because you have this environment that is so beautiful and silent but you always have to be aware of the danger. Third, I like to run. I'm not a big runner. But again, this physical fatigue makes me relax.

Learjet 45XR first jet to land at new Rooks County airport
Gov. Sam Brownback was on hand last week to inaugurate the new Rooks County Regional Airport near Stockton in western Kansas.
At the dedication, Bombardier Aerospace's Learjet 45XR became the first jet to land at the airport.
"We are honored to have been able to participate in the dedication," Ralph Acs, vice president and general manager of Bombardier's Learjet plant, said in a statement.
The airport, which has a 5,000-foot concrete runway, replaces two turf runway airports at Stockton and Plainville and consolidates the airports into one.
The $6 million project was paid for with Airport Improvement Program funds and local matching funds.

Have a Home and Exchange It, Too
Many people are making significant gains in today's hot real estate market. They are also creating significant tax burdens for themselves. Two popular methods for reducing or eliminating these tax burdens are Section 121, the Home Sale Exclusion, and Section 1031, Like Exchange break. Section 121 allows a taxpayer to exclude gains (up to $250,000 individual or $500,000 married couple) realized on the sale or exchange of property owned and used as the taxpayer's principal residence for at least two of the five years prior to the sale or exchange.

Homeowners Should Know Tax Implications
Homeowners enjoy generally favorable tax treatment when they sell their principal residence, thanks to a 1997 tax code change that eliminates taxes on capital gains.But experts say that not everyone wins under the law, and it pays to be savvy about all the tax implications associated with buying and selling. Now that some economists are warning of a possible cooling in housing prices, it's as important as ever to be aware of what the laws mean to you. First, some statistics.

Overheated Housing Market Shutting Out First-Timers
The hot housing market has its good, bad and downright ugly sides, as super-high prices force first-time buyers into creative financing arrangements that could easily bust their budgets if the economy worsens.To get into the housing market, some buyers are relying on loans that allow tiny down payments or interest-only and adjustable-rate mortgages, which have the advantage of low monthly payments early on.

Avoiding Errors in Excel Spreadsheets
We trust our spreadsheets until they let us down. Then, we faithfully check all the values and formulas to find the error which is easier (or harder) to discover depending on the complexity of the spreadsheet, the importance of the information it contains, or how much time we don't have to troubleshoot the problem. Undiscovered mistakes lurk in every spreadsheet. Cautionary tales about misadventures with Excel spreadsheets abound. Whether we find our errors using a computer-assisted audit tool or we check a spreadsheet line for line, we seek perfection.

Increase in Consumer Debt is Far Less Than Expected
While consumer spending has been a major driver of the U.S. economic recovery, the increase in borrowing in April was far lower than Wall Street analysts had expected.Borrowing for auto loans and other types of nonrevolving debt increased, but at the slowest rate since last November, the Federal Reserve reported on Tuesday. Nonrevolving credit rose $1.7 billion in April versus a $7.4 billion rise in March, Reuters reported.Consumer credit rose just $1.26 billion in April, rather than the $7 billion increase that was predicted by many analysts.

GAO: Underfunded Corporate Pensions 'Severe and Widespread'

Flexible Spending Accounts: More Time to Spend

Previous rules required that funds deposited in an FSA be spent by the end of the plan year. Any unspent funds were lost.The use it or lose it rule isn't changing but savers are being given an additional 2½ months in which to spend it. If the plan year ends with the calendar year, spending can now continue until March 15.

Regardless, Jay Gibbons, the 2nd longest tenured Oriole, was cut by the team after they learned they would have to deal with his situation now rather than later (due to MLB suspending his suspension…whatever that means).

Our riff on the traditional tarte Tatin is individually sized and topped with tangy pineapple, flaky toasted coconut, and a hint of ginger.
Game plan: The tarts can be made up to 4 hours ahead, cooled completely, stored in an airtight container, and reheated on a baking sheet at 300°F for 5 to 10 minutes.
If you don't have a 12-well muffin pan, you can use two 6-well muffin pans; just be sure to bake them side by side in the oven.
This recipe was featured as part of both our New Year's Eve Speakeasy Party and our story on hand-held meals you can make in a muffin pan.
- 1Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Generously coat a 12-well muffin pan with the melted butter using a pastry brush. Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the coconut inside each well; set the pan aside.
- 2Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. (Some brands may not require any rolling.) Prick it all over with a fork, then cut 12 circles using a round cookie cutter the width of the top of the muffin wells (about 2 3/4 inches). Place the puff pastry circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper and refrigerate until needed.
- 3Place the brown sugar, ginger, and salt in a medium bowl, break up any lumps with a spatula or wooden spoon, and stir to combine. Add the pineapple and stir to coat.
- 4Evenly divide the pineapple mixture among the muffin wells. Place a puff pastry circle on top of the pineapple mixture and gently tuck the sides into the well to seal around the pineapple.
- 5Bake until the pastry is puffed and dark golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- 6Remove the pan from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. While the tartlets are still warm, run a knife around each to loosen it from the well. Place a baking sheet over the muffin pan and carefully invert the muffin pan onto the baking sheet. Gently tap the bottom of each well and then remove the muffin pan. (If some pieces of pineapple and coconut remain inside the wells, just scrape them out and place them on top of the tartlets.) Serve warm.

Liberty Bridge - Szabadsag Hid, Budapest
16 Reviews
16 Reviews
The Liberty (or Freedom) Bridge crosses the River Danube and connects Buda with Pest; it is the third southernmost and shortest public road bridge in Budapest and is located to the south of the City Centre. The bridge was originally called the Franz Joseph Bridge when it was built between 1894 and 1896 to the plans of János Feketeházy. The bridge was opened in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph himself who hammered the last silver rivet on the Pest abutment. The Liberty Bridge is 333 metres long and 20 metres wide and has at the top of the four masts large bronze statues of the Turul, a falcon-type bird that was prominent in Hungarian mythology. The bridge was destroyed by German troops in January 1945 and rebuilt to the same specifications in August 1946.

Liberty Bridge (Szabadság híd ) was the less attractive bridge in the city center so we didn't walk on it although we were close enough when we visited the Gellert Baths (that face the bridge).
It's a 333meters long and 20meters wide that was built in 1894 by Janos Feketehazy and took the name of Emperor Franz Joseph I that was there on the day of the opening and hammered the last silver rivet in 1896 during the Millennium celebration of Hungary. As most of the bridges in Budapest it was blown by the germans during WWII and it was rebuilt after the war in its original form again. The only thing that's worth to be mentioned about it are the bronze statues of the falcon like bird Turul that are set on top of the pillars.
There are several bridges connecting Pest to Buda, and the Liberty Bridge (Szabadság híd) is the one located at the southern end of city center, leading to Gellert Hill. The 333.6 m long bridge was built between 1894 and 1896. Its middle part was destroyed during World War II but it was rebuilt in 1945, and further restoration work was conducted to eliminate all war-related damage between 2007 and 2009. The bridge's main ornaments, four falcon-like bronze statues sitting on top of the bridge's four central masts (these are actually turuls, a mythological bird that represents power, strength and nobility in Hungary), were also restored. The bridge was originally named after the Emperor Franz Joseph, but it was renamed Liberty Bridge when the country was liberated from the Nazi occupation by the Soviet army at the end of World War II in 1945. The same year, the Liberation Monument was erected at the top of Gellert Hill. This imposing statue takes on the form of a woman holding a palm leaf above her head and can best be admired while crossing the bridge.
Liberty Bridge is the third and shortest bridge of Budapest. It was built for the Millennium World Exhibition in 1896, its original name being Francis Joseph Bridge.
As Liberty Bridge is the shortest bridge in Budapest, you can easily walk across it over the Danube in a couple of minutes.
Having reached the Buda end of the bridge, you get to Gellért Square at the foot of Gellért Hill, hosting Hotel Gellért famous for its thermal water. At the right side of the Hotel, you can find the Cave Church with the statue of Stephen I before it. From here, the top of Gellért Hill with the Citadella and the Liberty Statue, standing proudly over Budapest, are only a 15-20 minutes' comfortable walk.
The Liberty Bridge connects Buda and Pest across the River Danube. It is the third southernmost public road bridge in Budapest, located at the southern end of the City Centre.
At its two ends are:
Gellért tér (at the foot of Gellért Hill, with the Gellért Spa and Hotel Gellért) and
Fővám tér (with the Great Market Hall and the nearby Budapest University of Economics)
Spanning the Danube from the base of Gellert Hill to the teeming hordes on Vaci Utca, the grand, green, cast iron Liberty bridge makes a busy, beautiful and important connection. It's a little unusual in that it's a faux-chain bridge, intended to keep the style of the Szechenyi bridge further down river, but without the same technology.
Liberty bridge (Szabadság híd in hungarian) is one of the bridges between Buda and Pest.
The location of the bridge is near the south side of the city center.
The bridge was built between 1894 and 1896 and it connects the two sides - Gellert hill on the Buda side and the great market hall on Fovam ter on the pest side.
The bridge is 333 meters long
When i was in Budapest , the bridge was under construction and it is pedestrian only at the moment.
In my picture you will see the bridge from Gellert hill - you can see at the top a bronze statue of Turul.
This bridge was built in 1899 and it crosses the Danube at the foot of Gellert Hill on the Buda side and at the foot of Central Market on the Pest side. After the destruction of all the bridges in Budapest, this was the first bridge to be reconstructed since it suffered the least amount of damage. The original motifs were retained during its reconstruction. It's a nice little walk across the Danube and a great way to get from Central Market to Gellert Hill. I decided to cross this bridge on the morning I paid a visit to the Buda side of the city since it was in close proximity to my hotel.
As all the bridges in Budapest, it was built (in 1899), destroyed by the Germans in 1945 and rebuilt in 1946. It has the peculiarity of displaying the Royal Arms and the Turul bird, beautiful symbols of the city.
It is just next to the Gellert Spa and the Gellert Hill so you also have nice views from this bridge.
This bridge spans the Danube for 365 m and work on it commenced in 1894. The transversal bracing between the pillars has ornamental gates supporting the birds at their top and the great arms of Hungary.
Also know as Szabadsag hid in hungarian, this bridge was initially called Franz Joseph Bridge (Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary untill 1916).
It has been open in 1896 during the Millenium celebrations (to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the arrival of the Magyars in the area).
The Liberty Bridge opened in 1896 and was originally called the Franz Joseph Bridge after the Habsburg Emperor. Along the top of the bridge's pillars you'll notice iron Turul birds, a symbol in Magyar history.
At the far end of the bridge (Buda side) in this picture, you can see the Gellért Hotel, an Art Nouveau palace which is as famous for its Turkish style thermal baths that are open to the public.
This bridge was the third to be built in Budapest and was originally called Franz Joseph Bridge after the Habsburg Emperor. Opened in 1896 as part of the Millennium celebrations, the design is elegant but simple. The Turul birds (a mystical symbol in Magyar history) perched on the bridge pillars and elegant ironwork enhance its beauty.
Another beautiful bridge in Budapest, built in 1.899, and it was the first to be rebuilt after the IIWW in 1.946.
The southern chainbridge consists of greenbrown Iron.
Legend goes that a drunk Dutchman once took a p*ss into the Danube from the middle of the bridge. Who could that be?

Terry denies cashing in on captaincy
John Terry has denied ever trying to cash in on his status as England captain.Terry has been given the job back by Fabio Capello ahead of Saturday's Euro 2012 qualifier with Wales in Cardiff. Even if Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard had been fit, the move would have made sense given Terry is the most obvious leader in Capello's squad.However, some still have reservations, partly for the allegations of an affair with the ex-girlfriend a former team-mate, Wayne Bridge, and also because a PR company that attached itself to Terry claimed they could get the 30-year-old to endorse products."I never tried to cash in on anything," he countered. "There was an issue with the statement that went out initially. It was a company that didn't represent me."I am not the best looking guy anyway, so people aren't going to want me spread all over the place. I have never tried to cash in on the England captaincy."People should know the truth. I have a deal with Umbro that, legally, means I have to do 12 big interviews over the course of a year. But people just tend to think that I'm cashing in on a personal great opportunity."

The Community Way
We chat about communities every day here at BOF. Shannon has a note at her desk that states "Community is not a place, it's a way of life". We update one another about challenges, successes and little wins for the communities we work (and live) in. But let's get to the core of things.
Have you ever been a part of something bigger than you? You might be rolling your eyes at the very grand question so early in the morning, but I challenge you to think about it. Isn't that the truth of a community- the sum is greater than its individual parts? If you've been fortunate enough to be a part of a community, in any way, shape or form, take a moment to think about it.
Did you choose the community, or did it seem like the community choose you? Did you muscle your way in, or were you invited? Has the idea of this community, or way of life, fizzled, or are you still kickin'? I'm curious– there's no right or wrong answer. Sometimes you just fall into the right place and all you can do is look back, smile, and thank the heavens above.
I think both ways are good ways, because it's always about the people. NO. MATTER. WHAT. It's the people. It's the reason you follow your hairdresser to a new salon, or you tell your friends about the best brunch secret in town. It's the experience at large… and the people behind it, in front of it, and in it. And don't forget, you're a part of that community, too.

Hey Katie
Great questions! I'm actually considering these at the moment within an e-book I've been trying to write for the last year on Community Network Marketing.
I think that there are two types of community – those where the nodes are people and those where the nodes are places.. I classify these as emulation communities (I want to be like them) and co-location communities (I want to be with people like me). These are of course platform agnostic!
Both view points work in community build models, whether you're creating from scratch or joining one that already exists.
It's a really exciting area!
Neil, thanks for the inspiration! Best of luck on your e-book, and you couldn't be more on point– whether you start from scratch or you are joining, community is community.
