Richard Brody: "The fulsome orthodoxy of Pixar's twenty-two storytelling rules goes far beyond a single company's flavor spectrum to a crisis that is endemic to the modern cinema" ...

A show here, a few dozen movies there: 4K fare is still sparse on streaming services. Next year, things may be different — if the industry doesn't mess it up.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
iClone has been built from the ground up as an essential tool for quick animation production. There is no other application in the industry that can deliver the speed, customization, flexibility and versatility of iClone. Real-Time Animation, sometimes called Machinima, is filmmaking within a real-time 3D virtual environment, often used in 3D video-game technologies. Because real-time animation can be shot live or scripted in real-time, this allows it to be much faster to produce than traditional CGI animations. This webinar will guide you through the major production procedure in iClone to create an animated video.

In September we wrote an article on the upcoming Kickstarter launch of a 3D printer that promised to print in a range of materials including wood, conductive materials, ceramic, plastics, and various foods. Many of our readers were very curious about the 3D printer, and now you can all get the chance to test it …
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
Interesting. The MM1's modular design comes with various interchangeable extrusion heads and additional accessories that let it print in materials such as wood-based filament, nylon, polycarbonate, conductive materials, chocolate, Play-Doh, ceramic, and standard PLA and ABS plastics.

A new $1000 PLA consumer 3D printer for makers and educators comes with a promise of effortless 3D printing.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:
All of the best comedies are subversive. And by that token, the new animated movie The Boxtrolls is a tremendous success — it takes the fabric of society and gleefully shreds it, showing how silly and easily manipulated most "decent" people are. Click to know more. |

IGNATIUS, MONTANA PERMIT NO. 1 59865 B/O SKY Country Chief ^23S3*N EWSPAPERP F VOLUME 7 NUMBER 23 5ALISH,jf END D'OR I ELLES^P^QDTENAI'JR FULL MOON OF THE BUTTERCUPS BES1 APRIL 1, 1978 Notice The next regular meeting for the Daniel Lawrence Pablo American Legion Post No. 68 is scheduled for Monday night April 10th, 1978, 8:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers. All prospective members are urged to attend. NOTICE SECOND QUARTERLY MEETING The second quarterly meeting of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Tribal Council will be held on Friday, April 07, 1978 at Koostatah Hall in Elmo. Since there is no meeting room available at the new Tribal Com-lex offices in Pablo, the Tribal Council has decided to move the quarterly meetings around the reservation this year. Everyone is urged to attend this meeting. It will start at approximately 9:00 a.m. and a free meal will be served at noon. Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Doug Allard - - Tribal Secretary Miss Indian America Visits Reservation Miss Indian America, Gracie Ann Welsh spent Good Friday (March 24th) visiting the Flathead Reservation and enjoying pot-luck lunch with members of the staff at the Tribal Complex in Pablo. Gracie Ann was crowned Miss Indian America No. 24 on July 31st, 1977 at Sheridan, Wyoming. That date was also her 19th birthday, she said that the combination of the two events occuring on the same day still seems rather unique for her. From Parker, Arizona she is a member of the Mohave-Chemehuevi - Yavapai tribes and enrolled with the Colorado River Indian Tribes. She has held several other titles before being crowned Miss Indian America. Some of these were Miss Indian Arizona from 1976 - 1977, Miss Colorado River Indians from 1975 - 1976. "Mesh-hi-hewah-ahote" is her Mohave name, which means Good Hearted Girl. Gracie Ann participates with much zest and enthusiasm in music, sports, rodeos and recommends the knowledge and practice of native culture as a means to enrich our total human experiance. Studying public administration at the University of Arizona at Tucson, she plans on attending the University another three years. Gracie Ann attended the Montana Indian Education Conference which was held at the University in Missoula. Director for Native American Studies, Henrietta Whiteman was Miss Indian America's chaperon while attending the Conference. On commenting about the Confederated Salish and Kootenai members she had met on her short visit to our reservation she said she was impressed by their warmth and were good people. Gracie Ann would like to invite Tribal members to visit and be welcomed to the 25th Silver Anniversary of the All American Indian Days and the National Miss Indian American Pagent held on July 28, 29 and 30th at Sheridan, Wyoming. There will also be a Pow-Wow, parade, arts and crafts plus an all Indian Championship Rodeo. (Continued on page 2)

This sturdy counterweight holder makes it easy to store and transport heavy equatorial mount counterweights safely. The Orion CC18 Counterweight Carrier reduces the number of trips to and from your vehicle or observing site by allowing you to carry multiple counterweights in one trip - and even with one hand. The CC18 Counterweight Carrier has room to hold up to three 11-lb. Atlas counterweights, and has a total weight capacity of over 50 lbs. By securely holding multiple counterweights together rather than individually, the CC18 helps minimize the chances of dropping a counterweight during setup or takedown, which can potentially damage the weight, or even worse, hurt your feet! Its padded handle provides a comfortable grip, and three screw "feet" prevent the CC18 Counterweight Carrier from sliding around in your vehicle while you drive to your favorite observing site. Four sturdy plastic disks provide separation between the attached counterweights, preventing contact so they remain free of scratches and dings. The CC18 design does not rely on cotter pins which can easily get lost in the dark. A large safety knob on the end of the CC18's 18mm diameter steel shaft ensures attached counterweights will remain on the carrier, even if their individual lock knobs become loose.
The CC18 Counterweight Carrier holds up to three 11-lb. counterweights for Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G, Atlas EQ-G and Sirius EQ-G mounts as well as smaller counterweights for SkyView Pro EQ and AstroView EQ mounts. You can also use the Orion CC18 to hold counterweights for Celestron AVX, CGEM and CG-4; and Meade LXD-55 and LXD-75 mounts.
Weighing 4.8 lbs without any counterweights attached, the CC18 Counterweight Carrier provides a practical solution to the hassle of carrying and transporting heavy equatorial mount counterweights. You'll never leave home without it!
Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only. For complete warranty details contact us at 800-676-1343.

Kohler Enameled Cast-Iron is also available in a wide variety of specialty colors allowing you to truly customize your home.
- Smart Divide: The basin divider is set to a lower height than perimeter of the sink; you gain the convenience of a single basin sink completely filled, without losing the functionality of a double basin sink. The lower divider also gives more room for working with larger pots and pans providing more access for filling and cleaning.

Eurostile® Next font family
Designed by Akira Kobayashi in 2008
Linotype Design Studio in 2008
Aldo Novarese
Eurostile Next is Linotype's redrawn and expanded version of Aldo Novarese's 1962 design. This new version refers back to the original metal types and to its mid-century modern aesthetic of squarish characters and subtle curves. Eurostile Next brings back the gentle curves, which were lost in other digital versions, therefore regaining the spirit of the original design and its somewhat softer demeanor. The family has been greatly expanded, now consisting of five different weights: ultra light, light, regular, semibold, and bold. Along with the regular width, all weights also have extended and condensed versions. Stylistically, Eurostile Next is well suited for designs in the fashion of the 50's and 60's, yet it still has a remarkably new and contemporary feeling. Its numerous variations and typographic features are invaluable for projects ranging from extensive corporate branding to one-off posters and from large signage to small print text.

Gore Bike Wear Countdown Gloves
? Share a...
Small but warm
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Nice for crisp rides, including a 30 degree, 45 minute commute and longer ride home. I'll put these into my 30-40 F arsenal, maybe a few degrees colder if it's going to warm up some.
Sizing is small; XXL fits the girth of my XL hand, but digits aren't long enough. Thumbs got cold on longer ride starting at the tip where they were jammed into the short glove thumb, and started losing heat after half an hour or so.
Warm, Durable, WaterProof, Uncomfortable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The seems put pressure on my hands when I am holding the handlebar. They make better ski gloves than bike gloves. It feels like the sizing and finish work isn't quite right.
Jacob Dudek
Good thus far
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Have done a reasonable job at keeping the hands warm. I generally get pretty cold fingers and toes easily though. Wish the palm had a little more grip and I sort of feel like Mario or something while wearing them mnt. biking. 3 stars as a result.
Le crow
great for 3-4years
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For 3 seasons these were awesome. Mostly used for road cycling in 30-45 degree 1-2 hour rides. My hands never got cold, or felt clamy.
They have started to kind of fall apart after some heavy use.
I will likely replace them with the same brand.
4 stars only for the lack of durability

Great Gloves, completely water proof and wind proof. Great for mountain biking, I tried them on a 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 Celsius) ride, kept my hands warm and dry for the entire 3 hour ride. I would not recommend them on temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 Celsius).
In general, very good and comfortable winter gloves.
Hi, I measure a Medium in the mens Gore...
Hi, I measure a Medium in the mens Gore bikewear countdown glove, but medium not available. When would it be available? Also, is the womens glove identical to the mens (as medium is available in the womens).
Close to great, but just close
I like these gloves much more than the Gore Cross gloves - see my review of those - but they still have some issues:
Finger length - same as the Cross, but not as bad. If you put your hands in the hoods, the gloves seem to restrict the extension of the ring finger as you reach for the levers. So, either there should be more room or a deeper cut between the pointer and the thumb, or there should be longer ring and middle fingers.
Bulk - pretty good, but still a bit tricky to reach into your rear pockets while riding. Can't imagine having to try to work a barrel adjuster with the gloves on.
Gauntlet length - would like it to be a little longer. The gauntlet is short enough that it's not clear if it's intended to reach over my jacket/jersey cuff. See the comparison to some old PI Gavias that are just a little bit longer.
Gauntlet closure - the PI Gavia zipper and Gore Cross glove pull string seem to be easier adjustments than the Countdown velcro closure.
As for warmth, not sure why people would expect these to work well below freezing, except that the Gore website says they are good for comfort on "any ride." Then again, the Gore web site says these are mountain-specific/intended gloves and not road gloves. ???
I'm 5' 10" with average to small sized hands and fingers and I needed an XL / EU 9.
not sure
im a little nervous about the tightness of these gloves. i got the size i usually wear a large but notice the finger length is long enough but the diameter around hand is tight... question are bike gloves suppose to fit snug? also ordered a pair for my wife and am worried they will fit the same. had to return two other pairs that didn't fit. i remain hopefull
Daniel Viens
In my experience bike gloves are tight fitting. Like bike specific attire for other parts of your body loose fitting can often result in rubbing, chaffing, and discomfort over repeated use and significant ride length. The tight glove is part of what protects your hands from developing blisters etc... Raked the yard all day this fall with a pair of work gloves that was too large and you will see what I mean...
Ed Shaw
returned gloves
RC - returning the gloves and have yet to find a full fingered glove that works below freezing I now think that layering is the only way and the added layer has to be on top of the warmer glove so as not to restrict circulation works for me anyway this glove did not fit my hand in the thumb/forefinger area and was not warm on a mile walk at 25 degrees if anyone has a single glove other than the lobster/mitten type that works for longer subfreezing rides I would like to hear about it thanks for the assistance from realcyclist ed
I use Pearlizumi Lobster gloves below freezing with no problems.
Robert Thomas
"Thumbs down"
I have to second what several other reviewers wrote: Only order these if your thumbs are PARTICULARLY short, relative to the length of your fingers. With a 5 in. thumb length (wrist to tip), I first ordered L, then XL, and the gloves still cut painfully into my thumbs when riding on the brake hoods. I felt that XXL would have been too wide overall, so I had to send these back. I liked the product quality, fabric, and overall design, but the sizing was not for me.
Ocean Liu
What is the suitable temp range for this...
What is the suitable temp range for this glove?I want use it in Tibet, i am afraid it's too warm at noon
Do all the Gore gloves have the absorbent...
Do all the Gore gloves have the absorbent fabric on the thumb/forefinger for wiping sweat? I've read it as a feature on only a couple of the products. I need VERY warm hands, and I would like to have the absorbent material as well, but can't figure out which gloves will work best.
Dave Kolosek
All of our gloves have an absorbent fabric on the thumb/forefinger area although the material may vary from glove to glove. Dave - GORE BIKE WEAR(tm)
Good fit, but downhill from there...
I found the Countdown gloves to fit true to size (actually, I love the fit), but beyond that I would not recommend this glove. Even at just barely over freezing, my hands were still quite cold (actually hurting) by the end of my six mile ride. Generally speaking, quite a let down, especially considering the money (which, though not the most expensive glove, certainly isn't cheap either).
Warm Glove - Thumbs Small
Didn't think I could find a single pair of gloves that would allow me to bike in temps below 32 degrees. Tried 3 pair of gloves...and was unhappy...until I discoverd the Countdowns. They are very warm...warmest I have used. I typically wear a medium glove...however, I needed to size up to a large with the Countdown. The inner waterproof Gore-Tex membrane causes the Thumb slots to be very 'short'. Ideal glove...for me...would be Medium Countdown fingers with Large Countdown thumbs. The wrist openings are also very 'tight'...the small wrist opening on the Medium gloves made it difficult to put on the 'second' glove. Great glove for warmth...would recommend that you size up.
+1. I second the issue with the small thumbs and small wrist. The warmth and waterproofing if good. The small wrist and long fingers (or short thumbs) lead to some severe dexterity issues. I cannot recommend these for road biking. The dexterity is a huge issue with breaking and shifting.
Was skeptical when ordering these gloves. My fingers always get cold once temps hit 35. I am an avid mtn biker. Temps today hovered around 25. My digits where warm! Sweating actually. Weird. Gloves are relatively thin but nice. Good quality all around. I'm impressed.

Karte und Wegbeschreibung
Ksar Hassi-Labied,
From Marrakech, drive East to Erfoud (2 days drive, stop for the night in or near Ouarzazate). From Fez, drive South to Erfoud (1 day).
From Erfoud, continue South 14 km (11 miles) to Rissani, carry on through the village and follow the road Southeast for 40 km (24 miles) to Merzouga. In recent years, the road to Merzouga has been asphalted and also to Taouz, a southern military border town (foreigners cannot cross here). The short access roads (1 or 2 km long) from the main road to the hotels alongside the sand dunes are normally not asphalted, but well maintained. There is now an asphalt road to Hassi Lybed, a smaller village about 4 km before Merzouga.

Employees, family and friends of the Y-12 National Security Complex fanned out across the region recently to help nonprofit agencies in a variety of ways – painting, landscaping, building and repairing, stocking food and school supplies, and much more.
With more than 1,100 participants – including employees, their family members and other volunteers recruited by Y-12 employees – working some 60 projects, this year marks the largest turnout in the ten years of the program.
The work took place primarily over the weekend, with some projects scheduled on other dates, and all of the projects benefit local individuals and organizations due to the generosity and dedication of the volunteers.
Projects this year included making quilts for NHC Health Care, loading boxes of food at the Valley View Mobile Pantry and at Second Harvest, painting rooms at the Scarboro Learning Center, building a sidewalk at Lenoir City's North Middle School, and washing dogs for the Shelter Animals Rescue Group.
Pantex honored employees for their military service May 16 with a flag ceremony and luncheon. The annual Armed Forces Day Celebration included the unveiling of the Wall of Heroes, which depicts Pantexans actively serving or who have served in Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and Noble Eagle.
There are approximately 900 veterans among the Pantex workforce. Recognized at the event was Pantex Senior Project Manager and U.S. Navy Seabee Capt. David Will, who is just three weeks back from his nine-month deployment in Afghanistan – his third tour of duty in six years.
"I believe we are blessed to have the jobs we have and to do the work we do here at Pantex – to serve our country. It's a blessing to serve," said Steve Erhart, NNSA Production Office Manager. "But blessing requires sacrifice….someone, somewhere always sacrifices something so that blessings can occur. It's selflessness instead of selfishness. Our nation's service men and women all sacrifice their freedom to ensure ours. Their willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom is at the heart of the blessings we all enjoy."
The Pantex Fire Department Honor Guard conducted the flag-raising ceremony, and the event featured speakers from both the Pantex Site Office and B&W Pantex, including guest speaker retired Navy Capt. and Supply Chain Management Division Manager Mike Tryon.

The 2010 Future Leaders Program (FLP) participants recently were honored for completing their two-year program at NNSA. On May 9, each graduating FLP participant gave a presentation on his or her accomplishments throughout the two-years and each participant were presented with plaques and coins during a graduation ceremony on May 10. NNSA Principal Deputy Administrator Neile Miller gave the keynote address. Miller spoke about leadership, understanding the role in NNSA's mission and discussed the passion for the job they do.
A world record will be set at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) on Wednesday, May 23, when a 1,527-foot tower used in above-ground nuclear experiments in the 1960s will be brought down in a planned demolition.
The BREN (Bare Reactor Experiment -- Nevada) Tower will be the tallest structure of its kind ever to be demolished. The tower is taller than the Empire State Building (1,454 feet, to the top of lightening rod), taller that the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas (1,148 feet) and half-again as tall as the Eiffel Tower (1,063 feet, with antenna).
The tower will be brought down due to safety concerns for personnel working nearby and risk to aircraft flying in the area. Contributing factors include lack of use, maintenance issues, and an uneconomical cost of more than $1 million that would have been required return the tower to a usable state.
DEMCO, Inc. is partnering with Controlled Demolition, Inc. to bring down BREN Tower in a safe, environmentally friendly manner. Because the tower is very tall, highly controlled demolition techniques will be employed. The tower will be demolished by explosively removing a small section of one leg at ground level, then explosively severing the tensioned guy wires and the anchor/stanchions on the opposite side.
About the photo:
A sign near the BREN Tower cites the historical significance of the tower (in the background) which will be demolished next week.
Two devices that delay passage to controlled-access areas at Y-12 recently received significant developmental boosts. The Access Rate Control System (ARCS) and the Delayed Latching Mechanism (DLM) were licensed in February by Knoxville start-up Sustainable Environment Technologies, LLC (SET). About five weeks later, Y-12 and the licensee signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).
The ARCS is a kit designed for installation on existing or new full-height turnstiles. It generates resistance and slows entry if someone enters at faster-than-normal speed. The DLM slows unlatching of gates and doors from the outside, requiring a sequence of actions to retract the latch and giving security personnel time to prevent the door or gate from opening if necessary.
Y-12 President and General Manager Darrel Kohlhorst voiced support to SET President Dan Hurst, said, "Once we know that something we have invented works, we want to make it possible for someone else to use it. It's our job not only to facilitate a license but also to work with the licensee to get it off the ground. If we are using these devices, there is no reason they are not at every one of the NNSA sites."
Anticipated markets include other U.S. Department of Energy facilities, commercial nuclear facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, correctional facilities, and large sporting venues. Both devices were invented by senior technical advisor and National Security Technology Center director Lee Bzorgi, whom Popular Science magazine has called "DOE's Gadget Guru" because of his numerous inventions.

Looking on are (l-r) Michael Mohar, senior manager with RSL; Ray Juzaitis, president of NSTec; Cheryl Oar, acting director of Global Security for NSTec; Alan Will, manager of RSL; Keith Hughes, senior caseworker for Congressman Heck; and Mike Butchko, chief operating officer for NSTec. NSTec manages and operates the Nevada National Security Site and related facilities for the NNSA's Nevada Site Office.
How can government partner with the private sector to control sensitive nuclear technology without blocking legitimate commerce? How could social media be used to target information-driven arms control and nonproliferation? How are nuclear disarmament dynamics shifting?
These were just a few of the intriguing topics that 90 participants tackled at a nuclear security forum on April 18-19. The event, attended by representatives from seven countries, was part of the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI), an activity of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). CSIS was recently ranked the world's top security and international affairs "think tank" by a well-respected annual assessment from the University of Pennsylvania.
Rising experts in the nuclear security field presented research findings on nuclear weapons issues and shared information in interactive forums. Speakers covered work that was funded by NNSA and other agencies. Graduate students from 12 universities also participated, advancing a PONI goal of building a networked community of young nuclear experts. Warren Stern, Director of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, provided keynote remarks at the meeting.
This year's event was held at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and DOE's Volpentest HAMMER Training and Education Center. During tours, participants experienced an up-close-and-personal view of technologies and facilities to counter nuclear terrorism, prevent proliferation, and verify arms control regimes.
The Nevada Site Office and contractor National Security Technologies recently celebrated the 10,000th sortie aircraft flight from their Remote Sensing Lab (RSL) in southern Nevada in support of Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) missions. Participating in the commemorative flight were: (l-r): NNSS Fire & Rescue (F&R) Deputy Chief of Operations John Gamby, Chief Charles Fauerbach, NSTec Chief Operating Officer Mike Butchko, Capt. Tom McKissack, F&R Engineer John Dwyer, RSL pilot Capt. Tom Selfridge and F&R Training Deputy Chief John Rynes. The commemorative flight from RSL's location at Nellis Air Force Base to the Desert Rock Airport at the NNSS was similar to those flown during local wildland fire events at the NNSS.
"Discovery and Innovation for National Security" is the theme of the fifth annual NNSA Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Symposium set for June 12 at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS Center) in Washington, D.C.
The symposium will feature highlights of game-changing, mission-relevant research supported by the LDRD Program from throughout the enterprise. Emphasis will be on scientific discovery and technological innovation that benefits DOE and NNSA missions of national security. Technical topics will include adiabatic quantum architectures; sensing and modeling for national security; uncertainty quantification for science-based stockpile stewardship; and optical velocimetry for nuclear security.
The symposium features LDRD technology advancements from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories. It also includes research, development, and demonstration projects from the Site Directed Research and Development Program at Nevada National Security Site, and from the Plant Directed Research and Development Program at the NNSA plants. NNSA researchers will provide briefings and a poster session at noon.
Dr. Victor Reis, Senior Advisor in the Office of the Secretary, will lead a panel discussion on discovery and innovation issues for national security. Keynote presenters will include Neile L. Miller, NNSA Principal Deputy Administrator; Charles V. Shank, Senior Fellow, Janelia Farm Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Former Director, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Norman R. Augustine, retired Chairman & CEO, Lockheed Martin Corporation; and Thomas A. Kalil, Deputy Director for Policy, White House Office of Science & Technology Policy.

I've been playing this lately, it's a pretty fun game. I've never played DOTA so there was quite a learning curve but I must say the client runs great on Linux, Windows and my Mac!
I've been playing with a beta key for a few hours, runs quite well on Linux here. Promising, I'll probably end up buying this game. Although I'm quite a noob when it comes to games like this (never played dota).
Ubuntu Jaunty x86-64, 8GB RAM, Intel Core2 Quad 2.5GHz, NV GF8600GT using 185.18.29 nvidia driver.
Hi was looking through the forums and was wondering if anyone had any beta keys remaining to hand out. This game look amazing and i would love to get a chance to play it.
If possible send a pm or email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
i love this game but have no key

Athletic Tape
> brand=FindTape
Sports Medicine Athletic Tapes
are an everyday necessity for physiotherapists & certified athletic trainers. They include taping supplies such as non-elastic, stretch and pre-wrap tapes.
Athletic tape and wraps are often better to stabilize a joint then a brace would be since braces worn for for more than a day or two risk weakening the muscles so they are more susceptible to injury. Always ask a physical therapist as to their recommendation for what to use for aching elbow, wrist and knee joints.
Athletic Tape Options
Stretch athletic tape - used for applications where you want to create support, but where you also want to achieve a greater range of motion.
Non-Elastic Rigid athletic tape - used for applications where you want to reduce range of motion and create joint support at the same time.
Foam Underwrap - used directly on skin as a base to tape over reducing skin irritation.
Adhesive-backed Moleskin rolls - used to protect against high friction areas and also to hep in blister recovery by protecting area.
Adhesive-backed Latex Foam rolls - used to make custom padding for areas of the body; used in conjunction with taping applications for added protection and support.
Abrasion tape - used to secure bandaging and for patellofemoral taping applications; to protect elbows on synthetic surfaces.

Kosher Salads & Salad Dressings
Beets and Tangerine Salad |
KosherEye.comAdapted from The Passionate Vegetable by Suzanne Landry, Health Inspired Publishing Bites of Insight: Beets are available at our local farmer's market in three varieties. The standard red, yellow and candy striped (or Chioggia). The candy stripped beet is a variety from a small coastal town in Italy called Chioggia. This "peppermint candy" beet looks beautiful grated in salads. However, it loses its candy stripe once cooked and becomes pale pink. It is milder in flavor and requires less cooking. Ingredients 3 beets, cooked, peeled and cubed Dressing: Directions If using fresh beets, scrub well but do not peel. Cut stem off to within one inch of beet. Immerse in water, cover and bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium. Depending on the size of the beets, cooking will take about 30 minutes or longer. They are cooked when the beet feels tender when a fork is pushed into the center. Drain and cool. Remove skin and stem by rubbing off with your fingers under running water. Cut beets into ½-inch bite size pieces. Peel tangerines and separate wedges. Remove any white membrane. Either leave whole or cut in half. This dressing will make more than you need for this salad. It's a favorite in our house and I'm sure you'll want to have extra. For this amount of salad, place ½ cup of finished dressing in a salad bowl. Add cooked beets and tangerines and toss. Sprinkle with feta cheese. Notes Serves 4 Recipe, kosher, dairy |

Like Father, Like Daughter: Committed to Remodeling
Cindy Knutson-Lycholat, CGR, CR, CAPS, laughs when she remembers her first assignment working for her father and uncle at the residential construction company they owned, Knutson Bros. of West Allis, Wis. She was asked to wear short bib overalls, to smile and greet potential customers at a local home show.
Suffice it to say that, over time, her role in the company greatly expanded beyond this humble beginning. She took drafting classes and eventually began turning out kitchens, room additions and other projects for several years. Ultimately, her father, Norvin "Charlie" Knutson took her as a full apprentice, training Cindy in estimating and sales. This was a big step, says Knutson-Lycholat because it took a lot for her father to allow family members into the business at all.
Charlie Knutson and his brother Orville had founded Knutson Bros. in 1955 as a building and remodeling company. Later they learned that new construction and remodeling are "two very different businesses," says Knutson-Lycholat. "But nobody really knew that back then."
The brothers committed themselves fully to the remodeling side of residential construction in the late '70s and became deeply immersed in local, state and national issues facing the emerging remodeling industry. Orville attended NARI meetings while Charlie became the first chairman of the NAHB's Remodelors Council in 1982.
"He became a true spokesman for the industry and talked it up a lot when it didn't really exist," Knutson-Lycholat told QR last year when the magazine honored her late father as one of its Top Innovators. He passed away in 1996. "He was forthright about sharing his knowledge with contractors and getting new ones into the business — and ensuring they stayed there. He knew what were hard costs and soft costs, and he ultimately understood that remodelers had to charge more than they were."
By the early '90s Knutson-Lycholat was ready to strike out on her own. With the guidance of her father and the partnership of her husband Gerry Lycholat, they launched Knutson Bros. II, in an area farther west of the Milwaukee suburbs in East Troy, Wis. Since that time, the company has grown a reputation for quality work and has stayed small on purpose. Like many of the best remodelers, Knutson-Lycholat believes that her business is and should be an extension of her personal goals. "Whatever your business needs, you need to have a budget; you need to understand your lifestyle. That is what we do."
And if her business is a means to an end, then improving the remodeling industry is one of her personal goals. Like her father, Knutson-Lycholat is on the road many weeks each year on behalf of industry association work. She wants to help raise the level of professionalism in the remodeling industry and to help dispel the perception that remodelers must be viewed with caution. That is why the bulk of her work on behalf of the Remodelors Council at the local, state and national levels has centered on education.
Education Matters
Business accomplishments aside for a moment, Knutson-Lycholat would be among the last people to tell you all that she has done and is doing on behalf of the remodeling industry — in particular on behalf of the industry's certifications programs.
The month of September is a good example. First she traveled to the NAHB Fall Board of Directors Meetings in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she serves on many committees and is a trustee of the Remodelors Council nationally. In addition, she also serves as vice chair of the council's Certified Aging in Place (CAPS) Board of Governors. CAPS is the fastest growing designation within the entire NAHB University of Housing and might be the fastest growing professional designation in any industry in the country. This took a full week away from the business.
Then, only a few days after returning from the Salt Lake City meetings, she was back out to NAHB headquarters in Washington for another week of meetings, this time with other remodeler leaders to help update the Certified Graduate Remodeler and CAPS professional designation programs. Holed up in front of a PowerPoint projector for more than eight hours a day that week, she and the others slogged through hundreds of tedious decisions to update the programs. That was September. Two weeks in the office. Two weeks doing the work of the national association and its education platform.
But that is not the extent of her national commitment to remodeling education. She assists the publication department of the NAHB's Home Builders Institute by serving as a peer reviewer of book manuscripts before they are published. To date she has helped guide five publications. She has been a member of the NAHB Education Committee where she helped create and develop an education "needs assessment survey."
She is a frequent speaker at the International Builder Show. She is a founding member of the council's Remodelor 20 Club peer-group called "The Parrot Heads." She has served on the education planning committee of the Remodelers Show. And in 2004, she was approved by the NAHB to teach the "Home Modifications" portion of the CAPS course in all parts of the country. This year she was approved to teach four additional Home Builders Institute courses: Working with and Marketing to Older Adults; Sales and Marketing for Remodelers; Business Management for Building Professionals; and Estimating for Builders and Remodelers.
Locally Knutson-Lycholat works even harder. She helped develop and improve an annual Construction Career Connection Day. She speaks at the event each year, encouraging about 200 high school students to consider jobs in residential construction. In addition, she applied for and won a $25,000 grant to investigate the opportunity for a construction charter school in Walworth County, Wisconsin. This work led to the foundation of a Building Trades Academy — a two-year high school program among five area schools to provide an industry overview and to teach basic carpentry skills. Today the course has expanded beyond its original night school format and can be taken as an elective in two of the five high schools that participate in the Building Trades Academy. She is deeply involved in the local home show and has chaired the seminars committee. At the state level, she helped form the state Remodelors Council, and served on a committee to develop a regional trade show to provide nondues revenue to the state association and to provide another venue for professional education. This led to the 2004 launch of an innovative professional conference for builders and remodelers in Wisconsin "Better Buildings: Better Business."
For Knutson-Lycholat, work on behalf of education is a job well worth doing and is a real labor of love. "I am all about raising the bar for remodelers."
Business Know-how
For those fortunate enough to own a vacation home in the Southern Lakes district of Wisconsin — the service area for Knutson Bros. II LLC — the bar for professional remodeling has been set very high. Since 1994, Knutson-Lycholat and her husband Gerry, (and for the past six years with office and production manager Debbie Berndt), have run a lean and mean remodeling company. Specifically, they have carved out an impressive niche serving the needs of out-of-towners who own homes on the many lakes in the area.
They typically hit target revenues of about $1 million by building room additions, kitchens, baths, decks and whole-house makeovers. More to the point, they have been successful at holding gross and net profit margins to a point where they feel the effort and risk involved in running a remodeling company is properly rewarded.
"Our simple philosophy is that we don't work to lose money," says Knutson-Lycholat. "If we don't get our markups, we don't take the job. Sometimes I get accused of being money driven, and I am. But if there is not enough money in it, why bother. Why work to put money in somebody else's pocket, making no money, or to be the good guy? Why would you put yourself through all of that risk? Put your business at risk? Put your family at risk if there is nothing in it to put food on the table at the end of the day?"
Bearing full in mind that each job is a not only a new opportunity but also a new array of risks, Cindy and Gerry are sticklers for detail when it comes to planning. Each fall, they conduct an annual planning session for the coming year over a two- or three-day period, away from the office. Everything is on the table — dates for travel during the coming year, the number of jobs in the pipeline, their goals financially for themselves and for the company. They plan the amount of marketing they will do to get the jobs they need. And to the extent possible, they forecast cash flow as far as six and nine months out. It is this type of planning that allows them the opportunity to be away from the office and to not have to constantly be monitoring their business.
Once the plan is in place, everyone knows what to do. Debbie Berndt handles the day-to-day activities of the firm: scheduling, expediting, paying bills and dealing with vendors. Cindy is the designer and seller. And Gerry sells and runs jobs during the busy winter construction season. (Most of Gerry's professional career has been devoted to the electronics industry, in particular in sales with Motorola Inc.) Because their clients are primarily summer residents, the construction typically gets done in the October through March time frame. Summer is the time to meet with new clients, to sell new projects, to design them, and to win the necessary permits and approvals to build.
Interestingly, when they set up shop in 1994, the duo did not set out with the intention of serving a vacation home niche, they really felt they would serve the many small towns in the area far west of Milwaukee. And they do have many full-time residents as clients. But over time they realized the many advantages of catering to out-of-town clients. For starters, says Knutson-Lycholat, they are not typically present on the jobsite everyday and they are not living with the inconveniences of a remodeling project. Secondly, because the clients own at least two homes, they are typically well-healed and able to pay for the quality design and construction. A final advantage is that Knutson Bros. II is able to supply a much appreciated steady stream of work to its trade contractor partners during the slower winter months.
Once this niche was identified, Cindy and Gerry began looking for ways to communicate with part-time and weekend residents who live, for the most part, in suburban Chicago. Through trial and error, they hit upon a series of mailers that hit target lake areas, at different times during the year. In February 2006, they sent postcards to residents of a dozen lakes. On August 15, they send a second, more targeted mailing, using public records. This mailing includes an introductory letter, a questionnaire, a brochure and a Knutson Bros. II refrigerator magnet. Lastly, a company newsletter for past and current clients goes out each March and October.
"Remodeling is a service-based business, not a product-based business," Knutson-Lycholat explains. "And you need to market well to maintain the presence in the marketplace that you need. People think we are a huge company."
To help control their selling time, to basically ensure their prospects are properly qualified, everyone who calls in and asks for an appointment must take the time to fill out a questionnaire. With this information in hand, an initial meeting is set with both Cindy and Gerry. An experienced salesperson, Gerry takes the prospect through a well-conceived flip book to sell the company's achievements and credentials to the prospect. Cindy's role is to look the home and hear what the prospect wants done and quickly sketch out a preliminary price range. The end result of a successful first meeting is a signed "pre-construction agreement" and a $2,000 check that is applied to any work that is done.
"I figure out the numbers based on what we see. This is how we know if their budget is realistic or not," says Knutson-Lycholat. "We do it like a grocery list and we add it up. There is a big range but lots of choices and they get educated and say yes or they choke a little."
Debbie Berndt is a key player on the team; she keeps the books, maintains the schedule and keeps on top of draws to help ensure proper cash flow according to plan. By keeping the company on track, Cindy and Gerry are able to remain on track with her numerous industry commitments, carrying on a legacy of industry involvement that originated with Cindy's father Charlie and running a prosperous business as well.
"I think what Cindy is happiest about," says Gerry Lycholat, "is that if someone came and bought this business, we would not have to be here for it to keep running. They would be buying our systems. And I think that everything here flows very well."
Editor's Note: Those attending the International Builders Show, can see Cindy Knutson-Lycholat at the seminar The 10 Best Practices from the NAHB's Remodelor of the Year. It will be held Feb. 8, 2007 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
