Suzanne E. Henry is an award-winning public relations consultant and the CEO and president of Four Leaf Public Relations, a boutique communication practice headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, with satellite offices in Washington, D.C., Dallas, Texas, and Freiburg, Germany. She specializes in helping organizations not only develop communication plans, but also earn internal buy-in. Henry spoke with CW Managing Editor Amanda Aiello Beck about the elements that should go into a modern communication plan and offers tips for how to ensure your plan gets implemented.
Amanda Aiello Beck: How has communication planning changed over the years?
Suzanne Henry: In the world of mass communications, everything has changed. More options are available to communicators than ever before. But those options also are available to everyone else. Everyone is smarter about communication, which means the professional communicators must be smarter, as well. Communication plans also must allow for change. Stay focused on your strategic imperative, but allow tactics to change as opportunities arise, the landscape alters and new ideas are spawned.
AAB: What new elements should be included in today's communication plan?
SH: At minimum, a communication plan includes an organization's vision, mission, goals and objectives, target audience, main messages, main communications channels used, strategies, tactics, measurement strategy, and timeline. But today, also list things you won't do. It's so easy to drown yourself in Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, Google+ and other social channels. But have you identified why those channels are right for your goals? Knowing what you will not focus your attention on (but could) is vital for a focused effort.
Also, include a content strategy. The section addresses how you are going to assess, develop and manage the ideas, thoughts and content you will use to direct conversations, viewpoints and reputation and image.
Staff assignments in the plan also helps. Everyone seems short-staffed these days. So who is going to implement this big beautiful communication plan? Identifying responsibilities and accountability is just smart management.
AAB: What new challenges does today's fast-paced and ever-changing media environment pose to communication planning?
SH: A number of challenges exist. For one, the "content beast" requires regular attention. We also develop more content, pay more attention to SEO, monitor the ever-changing rules on social channels, and the keep tabs on how audiences are diversifying.
Keep in mind that when you are talking to one, you are talking to thousands.
Another challenge is the "human equation." Communication channels have become a two-way street with real people are talking to other real people (versus the "big company" talking down to the "little people"). People now respond to organizations' messages—and their friends are listening to how you handle their responses. Keep in mind that when you are talking to one, you are talking to thousands. In their return communications, organizations must be authentic, accessible and transparent.
Also, generational differences have caused new challenges. How generations work, live and communicate can be astoundingly different from one another. The millennials view work far differently than the baby boomers. To millennials, their work is an extension of their lives. They don't compartmentalize like baby boomers do. They want friends at work, meaningful work, and advancement. So, when you are communicating, keep those differences in mind. (If anyone has found something that works for everyone, call me.)
AAB: One of the challenges for communication planning that you've addressed in your writing is the sheer number of communication channels now available. Can you share some tips for how communicators can determine which channels are most effective for their messages?
SH: Knowing your audience has always been important. But now you need to delve much deeper into their make-up, including their generation, and their motivations and fears as well as their desires.
Then, select the communication channels and strategies that have the greatest probability of reaching that audience. Do not be seduced by a shiny new communication channel without understanding who it will reach. This is where the "we won't" list comes in handy. It's tempting to do everything—and keeping tabs on everything is important—but focusing on where your audience is gravitating is a better bet when it comes to execution.
For instance, a major Facebook strategy may not be necessary if your audience is Generation Z. But you better familiarize yourself with Snapchat, Instagram and YouTube. This also may mean you'd have to revamp your content strategy—get away from white papers, trade shows (unless you're going to Comic Con), and media relations and move to Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube.
AAB: You note that measurement is often the most ignored section of a communication plan. Why is this and can you offer any tips for how communicators can ensure they address this often overlooked section?
SH: I think the reason people ignore it is because it's hard. Someone is bound to argue with me about this difficulty, but I believe it's hard because most people haven't sat down to determine what success will look like to them. Saying "sales" and "make the phone ring" isn't enough. I always ask, "No, really…what do you want this message, this platform, this brand to DO for you?"
Additionally, despite our instant gratification world, the truth is that success still often has to be measured in inches instead of a sudden uptick in sales. But if you continue to gain inches, soon you've got both feet in the door and it's much harder to push you back into the hallway.
AAB: Once a communication plan has been developed it can often be a challenge to get implemented. Can you share some ideas for how communicators can get buy-in for their communication plan?
SH: Getting input as a communication plan is being developed helps people feel they have some skin in the game. Again, our workforce is changing. New workers want to know they are being listened to and are making a difference. A very simple way to earn buy-in is to hold a companywide lunch and let employees brainstorm about your audience. What have they seen or heard when dealing with your customer base? What messaging has worked or not worked? Incorporating ideas from other departments or functions can help ensure the communication plan is implemented across the entire organization.

I really need some help here, Im trying to get a client to PXE-boot using WDS from a 2008 server R2. I've set up a DHCP scope from
- 10.0.0.11 - 10.0.0.20
- 255.255.255.0
The server is handing out IPs to the client when it's booted up, but when it's booting it searches for DHCP, and after about 45sec it returns "No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were recieved"
The WDS-role is set up to accept any client, but i've also added the client to computers in AD based on the GUID.
The NIC on the client is Broadcom netxtreme 1.
Any clues to what i am doing wrong would be greately appriciated.

I've seen this mod done by several people out there. It seems that many people use these 5C Spin Indexers for MILLING, rather than for their intended purpose of GRINDING. Although it is a cheap tool that some people choose to use for milling indexed parts, it is really not meant to be used this way.Originally Posted by rolland
The spindle collar with the set screw that you have eliminated and replaced with threaded locking collars was meant to allow for setting spindle travel while grinding cylindrical parts on a surface grinder. Hence the name, "SPIN INDEXER." It is not for "removing endplay from the spindle."
For example, if you hold a 5/16" shaft in a 5C collet in the spin indexer and want to grind the end of the shaft down to 1/4", you would SPIN the spindle while lowering the surface grinding head a fraction at a time until the 1/4" diameter is achieved. However, you are limited to grinding an area only as wide as the grinding wheel if you lock your spindle with threaded collars. The Spin Indexer normally allows you to loosen the set screw in the spindle collar and slide the collar back as far as you need to allow adjustable movement of the spindle. This way, if you want to grind the end of the shaft down to a 1/4" for a distance of say 1.5" along the shaft, you can set the collar 1-1/2" back on the spindle and lock it with the set screw. Then, you can spin the spindle while sliding the shaft forward as you grind to cover a greater area of the shaft. The collar with set screw tightened will act as a STOP for the 1.5" travel of the spindle so that you will grind your shaft to the exact length desired.
Again, I can understand if you bought one of these tools as a cheap method of being able to mill indexed parts on occasion, but it truly was NOT designed for this purpose, which is also why they do not have T-SLOT holding provisions for milling tables. The 5c Spin Indexers are not very rigid and therefore have limited capabilities when it comes to precision milling. These 5C Spin Indexers were meant to be simply be held in place on a surface grinder's magnetic chuck, so bolt-down provisions are not required features of these tools.
If you own one of these 5C Spin Indexers and plan on modifying it with the threaded lock rings, you might want to re-consider unless you have two of them. One for grinding and one set up for milling. Otherwise, you're just ruining your 5C Grinding Spin Indexer.
If you are planning on modifying one of these tools for milling, adding slots for bolts to hold it down on a milling table is a good idea, but I would also recommend bolting KEYS on the bottom of the indexer to fit your table T-SLOTS in order to align it properly in the X-direction, parallel to your milling head.

Lately we've had a lot of discussion about our schools, especially how to balance funding. Bay County School Superintendent Bill Husfelt joined Donna Wednesday morning to talk a little more about one big issue that is up for discussion again this year, Bus Privatization.
This is something that was discussed last year and met with some controversy. Now we are discussing it again.

The NH90 is an advanced medium utility helicopter, capable of undertaking a wide variety of roles in New Zealand and overseas.
The RNZAF is introducing eight NH90 helicopters to replace the Iroquois fleet; four have been delivered, two more arrived in July 2013—but have yet to be formally handed over by the manufacturer—and the final two are expected in 2014.
The NH90 is a product of more than 10 years of development and testing to meet stringent capability and low maintenance requirements.
The Iroquois has been in RNZAF service since 1966. During the late 1990s the Air Force considered options to improve the NZDF's utility helicopter capability. The key issues driving this consideration were:
The Iroquois' limitations in East Timor between 1999 and 2002 reinforced the need for urgent action. The Defence Statement of May 2001 noted that the "Iroquois helicopter fleet will be upgraded or replaced". A Force Development Proposal (FDP) identified the requirement for a new capability to meet both military and whole of government needs. That was accepted by Government, and the Iroquois replacement project was incorporated into the NZDF Long Term Development Plan (LTDP).
When the Sioux replacement project began work in parallel, it became clear that there were synergies between the two projects and the two were combined into an NZDF Helicopter Capability project. From this separate specifications for a Medium Utility helicopter (MUH) and a Training/Light Utility Helicopter (T/LUH) were identified.
Medium Utility Helicopter
An initial approach to industry was made in early 2004 which resulted in a number of aircraft being considered. Following a period of evaluation and due diligence, the Government announced on 31 March 2005 that the NH90 helicopter provided by NATO Helicopter Industries (NHI) was the preferred solution for the Medium Utility Helicopter requirement. A contract for the acquisition of eight operational NH90 helicopters, spares, logistics support and training was signed on 31 July 2006.
While the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is responsible for the acquisition project, the NZDF's Capability Branch has responsibility for the Introduction into Service (IIS) of the MUH. This IIS task covers both logistics and operational considerations, and includes the conduct of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E).
The Ministry of Defence acquisition division has a Resident Project Team based at the Eurocopter manufacturing plant for the NZ NH90s in Marignane, France. This team, which includes seconded RNZAF personnel, is responsible for managing the ongoing acquisition project and maintaining oversight of the development and production activities.
In parallel with the Ministry of Defence acquisition project, the NZDF has formed a number of teams to manage the Introduction Into Service (IIS) of NH90. The Directorate of Project Engineering and Certification includes a team of technical staff managing the through life support and logistics aspects of the NH90 IIS while the Helicopter Transition Unit (HTU) manages the operational aspects. The HTU was established to separate the conduct of IIS activities from current operational outputs (which are being sustained by No 3 Squadron using the UH-1H Iroquois). The DPEC and HTU units work closely with the NZDF Capability Branch within a Joint Project Office construct to ensure that all IIS activities are efficiently and effectively carried out. Once both the A109LUH and NH90 have achieved milestone capability levels, the HTU will be disbanded and its operations will be subsumed by No 3 Squadron.
RNZAF maintenance staff and aircrew completed training at the manufacturer's facilities in France ahead of the deliveries of the initial aircraft to New Zealand. The first NH90 aircraft arrived in New Zealand at RNZAF Ohakea in December 2011. Currently four aircraft are in use at Ohakea conducting a variety of flying activities. Crew training is being conducted along with Trials and Development (T&D) flying. The T&D flying is used to confirm that the necessary aircraft and crew standard operating procedures and logistic support are developed to the level required to undertake the various tasks that the aircraft are required to perform. After each flying serial, test results are recorded and considered and findings are fed back into amended procedures. When T&D is deemed to be finalised, Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) flights are conducted under independent scrutiny to confirm that the procedures developed during T&D are both safe and effective. Although time consuming, this process is critical to the safe and proper introduction to service for our aircraft.
Currently, the NH90 is flying non-tactical transport operations within New Zealand and crews are working up the tactical transport procedures to support other agencies in an operational environment. Development work will be ongoing over coming years as progressively more advanced capabilities are trialled and introduced to service in order that the NH90 can undertake the full range of roles, tasks and missions that Government require. The completion of OT&E is expected by early 2015.

Just today Microsoft announced they have opened their Microsoft Store on eBay in the US. The eBay Microsoft Store will offer Microsoft accessories as well as first-party Microsoft products. This will assumingly increase sales of new products. Unlike Apple, Microsoft only has 81 retail stores. eBay has 142 million active users globally and this partnership just might just give Microsoft their boost in sales.
Microsoft guarantees their new eBay store can offer "the same safe online shopping experience, return policy and free shipping from the Microsoft Store on eBay that they've come to expect on microsoftstore.com." The launch of the new Microsoft eBay store will be just in time for the holidays.

Eating Monkey Brain!
If you have weak heart don't watch this. This video is really gross. Shows you exactly how people eat monkey. Just unbelievable.
If you have weak heart don't watch this. This video is really gross. Shows you exactly how people eat monkey. Just unbelievable.
very cruel!!!
I cant believe it! i dont know how anyone in there right mind could do anyting so mean. i mean those monkeys dont desever to be treated like that. if you like monkey brains so much why dont you tried killing them humainly. it would be so much more aproprate if it was done nicely and people wouldnt be so mad about it. i know if i was a monkey i would just kill myself if i knew that i was going to have to die like that. it is so disgusting to me that there are people on this earth that would do something so cruel. I am ashamed of what this world is coming to!
wow! i am still just so upset about that disgusting video! I know it is dumb to say "how would you feel if that was your animal, or if you where that animal how would you like someone to put you on a table, screw something into your head and eat your brains right out of your head after you just went through getting killed so meanly," but it is totally true in this case! and i have no problem saying that.
Yumm Yumm
what? two bonks on the head ain't humane enuf for ya?
All I can say is I would love to get my hands on the sick in the head S.O.B.s that did this for just 5 minutes, this is the cruelest, most inhumane thing I have ever seen, and I would take great pleasure in beating them all half to death, and then letting some wild Chimpanzees finish them off by eating them alive, and if you ask me, that would be letting them off easy!
If anyone thinks my previous comments were too harsh, then I sincerely hope they get reincarnated as the next monkeys in line to go in the table.
This is hideous, anti-God, dangerous to one's health and beyond wicked. It is an example of a Christ-less culture…and a great way to contract disease from the animal..including AIDS.
Don't worry people. This is from the Faces of Death series and is fake.
i dont know, looked fake.if not it is inhumane to do such a thing

Are you craving something sweet? If you're stay away from all unhealthy foods that will just spike your blood sugar. When you have diabetes, it's bad enough when you eat healthy and your blood sugar is still high. Ask any individual that has Type 1 diabetes and they know exactly what I'm talking about.
If you would like a sweet smoothie that will not spike your blood sugar you should try adding cacao nibs. Divine Organics Cacao Nibs are mechanically split whole beans. To benefit fully from chocolate's nutrients, always eat chocolate that is as close to its natural state as possible. Sorry, that milk chocolate candy bar does not count. Theobroma Cacao is rich in essential minerals, including magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium and manganese. In addition, Divine Organics Cacao Nibs are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, GMO-free and USDA Organic. If you have any food allergies, please check the allergen information listed on the actual food package. Also, Divine Organics Cacao Nibs are available from Transition Nutrition.
Since zinc is involved in the actual synthesis, storage and release of insulin it is vital that you have adequate amounts of this mineral. Did you know that zinc deficiency is associated with insulin resistance and obesity? Yes, and now scientists even believe a zinc deficiency is linked to serious infections and cancers. Zinc is the mineral that can assist you with a healthier immune system, faster wound healing, and lower blood sugar levels.
Here's the "Sweet Smoothie" recipe ~
In a blender add 2 cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, ½ cup of coffee, a handful of Divine Organic Cacao Nibs, and 1 frozen banana. Blend until thick and creamy and serve. Enjoy!
In a blink you can get your zinc by drinking a "Sweet Smoothie!"

A video of pop princess Sarah Geronimo hugging Maja Salvador, current girlfriend of Gerald Anderson, her ex-boyfriend is circulating online today, Feb. 24, 2014, according to the up-loader, said video was taken yesterday during the closing spiel of ASAP 19, the longest-running noontime musical variety show in the Philippines which airs on ABS-CBN.
SarahMattPo, a certified popster, uploaded the video on YouTube immediately after he/she caught the pop princess hugging the dance floor princess Maja Salvador. "There's a shiver because I was not expecting what I caught on cam. It made me more proud of my idol Sarah Geronimo," SarahMattPo said. Everyone knew that Sarah and Maja are not in good terms because of Gerald Anderson, but based on their shown attitude in ASAP, it is now safe to say that they are moving forward after almost two years.
As you all know, Gerald decided to quit courting Sarah Geronimo due to some issues in July 2012, according to some observers, Mommy Divine was one of the reasons why he decided to quit, but according to the pop princess, it was Gerald's decision and her mom had nothing to do with it. After a few months, Gerald courted Maja Salvador. Sarah aired her sentiments about the issue, she called Gerald womanizer on Sarah G, Live, her solo musical variety show on ABS-CBN.

As the popularity of the Paleo diet and low-carb weight loss plans continue to escalate, some may wonder if the vegan plant-based way of life has lost some of its luster when it comes to its merits. Now a new study offers plant-based dieters a way to win at weight loss while reducing their risk of heart disease, reported Consumer Affairs on Friday.
Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital say that combining low carb diet protocols with vegan food plans both promoted weight loss while lowering the risk of heart disease by 10 per cent over 10 years. Known as Eco-Atkins, this low carbohydrate vegan diet lowers "bad cholesterol" because of its emphasis on vegetable proteins and oils, said the researchers.
"We killed two birds with one stone – or, rather, with one diet," said the vegan lead author Dr. David Jenkins, a Nutritional Sciences professor at the University of Toronto. "We designed a diet that combined both vegan and low-carb elements to get the weight loss and cholesterol-lowering benefits of both."
Compared to higher carbohydrate diets that are lower in fat and protein, participants in the study lot four pounds more while reducing their bad cholesterol by 10 percent. "We could expect similar results in the real world because study participants selected their own diets and were able to adjust to their needs and preferences," said Dr. Jenkins.
So what do you eat on a vegan low-carb diet? Soy, vegetables, nuts, oats, barley, vegetable oils and avocado, as well as low-starch vegetables. The percentages for the Eco-Atkins consisted of 26 per cent of calories from carbohydrates, 31 per cent from proteins and 43 per cent from fat.
Although the Atkins diet often is associated only with animal protein and enormous platters of bacon, steak and eggs, the Eco-Atkins twist on the plan has existed for several years. "New Atkins for a New You: The Ultimate Diet for Shedding Weight and Feeling Great" specifically devotes several sections to vegetarians.
However, this new study provides an intriguing twist in the ongoing debate about what constitutes the best diet. And ironically, at the same time as the release of this vegan-centric research, comes a new low-carb diet book based on eight years of research defending the consumption of animal protein and saturated fats.
Investigative journalist Nina Teicholz, author of "The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet," contends that the traditional food guidelines advising minimal saturated fats and generous amounts of protein have resulted in skyrocketing rates of obesity. In an interview with the Fiscal Times, she challenged the conventional food pyramid.
"Our fear of saturated fats in animal foods – butter, eggs, meat – has never been based in solid science. A bias against these foods developed early on and became entrenched, though the evidence never amounted to a convincing case. And it's since crumbled away," she added.
Nina's not alone in this view. A recent study shows that in addition to promoting weight loss, low-carb diets reduce inflammation for those with type 2 diabetes, report researchers at the Linkoping University, Sweden.
It's just one of many studies indicating that "advising an obese diabetic patient to reduce their carb intake consistently produces better results than advising them to follow a low fat, calorie restricted diet," notes Bill Lagakos, author of "The poor, misunderstood calorie: calories proper." With a Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry and Physiology with a focus on obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance, he's become one of the most well-versed experts in surfacing studies showing that high carb diets suffer when compared to the multiple benefits of low carb weight loss plans.
"Nutritional ketosis is a normal, physiological response to carbohydrate and energy restriction. A ketogenic diet is an effective weight loss strategy for many," says Bill. "Ketogenic dieting is safe, and can be beneficial." And although some confuse nutritional ketosis with ketoacidosis, in reality "there are numerous examples showing ketogenic diets are safe for type 1 diabetics, suggesting the diet itself is not the major precipitating factor. In fact, some type 1 diabetics do quite well on ketogenic diets."
In addition, other studies have demonstrated that low-carb diets trump low-fat diets when it comes to lowering levels of inflammation. What's the significance of inflammation in the body? The National Library of Medicine contains multiple studies showing the link between inflammation and age-related diseases including cancer, dementia, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, vascular diseases and obesity.
Physician Dr. Terry Wahls is currently conducting additional research on another potential use for these food plans based on her experience using a Paleo-style ketogenic high fat low carb diet for multiple sclerosis. She documents her success with her own condition in "The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine."

Nabi Fakroddin can easily be considered a veteran of the profession.
The Pakistan native's first job after earning his civil engineering degree in 1957 was designing and building highways and bridges for the Illinois DOT. Later, he spent 19 years as engineer and transportation director for Kane County. Employed by engineering consulting firm HNTB since retiring from the public sector in 2007, he's now senior project manager for the Illinois Tollway Project where he is part of the team that reviews and approves bridge design plans for the $6.3 billion Congested Relief Program initiative.
Though he has few regrets in his career, Fakroddin wishes he'd worked harder to persuade Kane County officials to implement tax-free bonds as a fundraising measure.Still, he's happy with the progress he made, spearheading such initiatives as expanding the county's major arterials from two to four lanes.
"My chosen profession gives me satisfaction, knowing I am playing a small but important role in making sure that public safety is not compromised," he says.
Experience has taught him to refrain from political rhetoric, operate efficiently, and attend professional meetings to keep up with trends, all of which he recommends to those just beginning their careers.
Team player
Oakland (Calif.) Director of Public Works Raul Godinez didn't enter the profession until 1990, making him one of the youngest public works officials, career-wise, chosen this year by the American Public Works Association (APWA).
When he began his career, California was undertaking cutting-edge projects, including Los Angeles' first microtunneling initiative in 1994 — a trenchless, underground method of fully automated smalldiameter (42-inch) tunneling done via remote control from the surface. At the time, only two mechanized tunneling machines existed in the world. He was also involved in the city's first rigid pipe slip-lining project, completed in 1993, which used rigid fiberglass motor reinforced pipe to slip into the wet sewer and repair the lining pipe.
Godinez was, to say the least, enthralled by the challenges.
Under his management Oakland became the third California city to be accredited by the APWA, in 2006. However, Godinez credits his achievements — like implementing seven strategic management initiatives including customer service and satisfaction and safety-first, now the foundation of the department's focus — to his 700 employees. He describes them as "people who feel empowered to take risks and achieve things not done before," and says that his accomplishments are usually team efforts.
A man of consistency, Godinez wouldn't change anything if given the opportunity. "I'd do the same thing again," he says. "This has been a very rewarding career."
To younger generations he offers several pieces of advice. "Get as well-rounded a set of skills that you can," he says. "That'll help you in the later years. Move around within an organization, because it's your experience that sets you apart."

I can't remember when I didn't craft. I know I got my first real applique lesson in the 70's from Cindy Taylor Clarke when I learned near here home in Alfred, Maine. I took Quilt in a Day classes at Adult Education when my children were little but I had attempted quilting before that. I started sewing when I was in fifth grade and immediately began making my own clothes. So, you see, it's been a LONG time since I started.

The Harken 4 point lift system supports your kayak, canoe or other items from your garage or shed ceiling with ease.
|Item #:
|Part Number
Great hoist. The Harken 60 lbs Kayak Lift System akes lifting and storing our kayaks simple. My only negative comment is that it was a little tricky to figure out how to attach the lead line to our garage wall because we had to go to a side wall rather than a back wall as shown in the instructions.
Decent hoist, but cumbersome to install in a finished garage. Unless you have exposed rafters or roof joists, it can be difficult locating the ceiling supports that you need. Once installed, the pulley system works well, although I would have liked more lift distance. Designed to lift your boat off of your car's roof rack. Lifting it from the floor to the ceiling (sufficient to clear the open garage door)requires the distance from the front wall to the first support beam to be 8 feet or more. Would not buy again.
I got this for my son's 17ft, 24lb racing kayak. It tucks it nicely above the garage door. I needed my dad to help me install it, and the 2x6s needed to install it are the same that are required for the 200lb system. Very sturdy. We had to angle the control rope to get the 10 foot distance required, and the boat is so light that it stops about 8 feet off the ground and we have to pull it down the rest of the way. It is a great system for our needs. Two systems could go side by side on the 2x6s. One review I read recommended downloading the instructions off of the web to purchase the extra bolts and boards in advance and to know what was involved Good advice.
We got the Harken Hoister for my wifes Kayak. Following the directions it went up easily and performed great. Even my 5 2 wife can hoist it up and let it down with no problem.

Bao-Dur won't make my lightsaber
I've made files without codes, without mods, without both, and I've made a file with both, in any of these after he mentions making a lightsaber, he has no dialogue options and i have the parts for the lightsaber.
Can anyone help me?
Well, you said you "made files"?
Are you sure you have the Parts? Or do you have Upgrades to the Parts?
Do not be confused by the difference. Parts to make a lightsaber are quest rewards, Upgrades are what you can create yourself at a workbench and are also given as quest rewards. Make sure you do have the right pieces for your saber.
First off, Vatter: I did not mean "made" I meant Started to be more accurate.
As For Drazin: I have the xbox version too, and i know that i need the fixtures not upgrades.
The problem is that after he mentions that he can help me make a lightsaber, the only option in "dialogue" (if you could call it that) is Never Mind.
yeah, you will get a new dialogue choice with him once you have a color crystal, Emitter and power cell. (3 out of 4) then you can ask if you have the right parts and he'll say, Noooo, you still need a lens.
But until you get 3 out of 4 you get the Nevermind reply unless there was recent influence gained and you can talk about Malachor some more.
Anyways, if you say you have 4 out of 4... then you have a problem.
Ok, after loading and reloading my files, he finally made my lightsaber, and i don't know why or how, because all i did was talk to him like i always did, and if the option wasen't there then i reloaded.
But now i have another problem, the game stops responding every 2 minutes, and then closes out.
ahh, now that sounds like a technical problem. did you change any graphics or audio options?
Yes, i did change the settings, but the problem didn't start until i turned them back to default.
I know this thread is way old but I'm having some trouble with Bao-Dur. He tells me that I have all the required parts and he takes them from me, but my lightsaber wont build. I've seen many many many glitches in this game (PC in case you were wondering) but this is the only one I have been unable to fix. If anyone has been through this or has any tips they would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have *just* a Cyan lightsaber color crystal, and no other?

During opening night the nonstop standing ovation lasted almost as long as the opera itself.
The Dallas Opera's 'Tristan und Isolde' continues the tradition of taking on operatic challenges and transcending even ardent opera lovers' expectations. After budget cutbacks in 2011, an opera was dropped from the Tragic Obsessions season leaving room to expand Richard Wagner's masterpiece. What emerged is one of the finest artistic productions to date showcasing a brilliant all-star cast and orchestra.
Wagner envisioned his "music dramas" as a total work of art. In keeping with this philosophy, TDO bought in edgy Elaine J. McCarthy (Moby-Dick) who devised towering white minimalist scrims and imaginative projections. The exceptional stage design by Director Christian Räth, lighting design by Alan Burrett and the projections transform the stage into a dramatic museum-like art installation. Far from being cold or elitist, the projections are dreamy moving works of art that wrap around the stars Clifton Forbis (Tristan) and Jeanne-Michèle Charbonnet (Isolde). At times breathtaking in its intimacy the lighting and projections bring more focus to the acting, powerful vocals and exquisite music. They also take the audience to the moon, a dark forest, seaside and depict an intense love affair encircled in red light and surrounded by fiery red clouds.
The plot is based on a Celtic legend about a tragic love triangle between Isolde an Irish princess, Tristan a Cornish knight and King Marke of Cornwall. A love potion removes inhibitions and the knight begins a passionate love affair before the princess is presented to the king. Angry and betrayed the king turns on his nephew Tristan and fiancée. Melot, a courtier whom Tristan believed to be a trusted friend, mortally wounds him. The third act finds a delirious Tristan in his homeland on a beach with Kurwenal his servant. In Tristan's mind King Marke arrives and forgives him blaming the potion instead. A delusional Tristan is reunited with his love Isolde before he dies.
Starring as Isolde, the beautiful and accomplished soprano Jeanne-Michèle Charbonnet regularly appears in the top opera houses throughout Europe. She is internationally recognized as a leading force in German and contemporary repertoire for good reason. Her Isolde is believable, passionate, forgiving and willing to die for love. Her tragic portrayal of Isolde embodies philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's deeply pessimistic view of the human condition embraced by Wagner.
Tenor Clifton Forbis returns to TDO for his seventh role after performing the title role of Otello in the inaugural performance at the Winspear Opera House. Forbis is sought-after as one of the world's top Wagnerian singers. He and Charbonnet have a perfect chemistry making all their scenes together magical. Kristinn Sigmundsson's imposing height and deep bass voice create scene-stealing moments. Mezzo-Soprano Mary Phillips is exceptional as Brangäne, Isolde's servant, in her role debut along with the powerful Finnish bass-baritone Jukka Rasilainen making his American operatic debut portraying Kurvenal. English Baritone Stephen Gadd as Melot, in his American debut is impressive. His elegant baritone voice and acting abilities enrich this all-star cast.
The Dallas Opera's Mrs. Eugene McDermott Music Director, Graeme Jenkins, is a beloved conductor deeply appreciated by operagoers. The orchestra is brilliant and the acoustically exceptional Winspear makes the production even stronger. However historically this demanding epic 4-hour long opera apparently takes its toll on all involved. In 1865 the tenor Ludwig Schnoor died after the opera's world premiere. Tenor George Ander went mad after studying for the role of Tristan. Two 20th century conductors, Felix Mottl and Joseph Keilberth, died while conducting the second act. But all went well during The Dallas Opera's opening night—so well in fact that the nonstop standing ovation lasted almost as long as the opera itself.
There is one night left to see this groundbreaking critically acclaimed opera.

Teresa Giudice seems to want to get on another reality TV show besides "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." On Wednesday, Feb. 26, Teresa retweeted a series of tweets from fans asking her to be on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."
One fan started the talk by tweeting that instead of NeNe Leakes, Teresa Giudice should be the housewife to get on her dancing shoes.
"OMG!! I'd [three heart symbols] if Teresa was on DWTS!!! Woooo Hoooo!" replied one fan, which Teresa retweeted.
Another supportive message that Teresa retweeted states, "I completely agree, David. The viewers would #lovelovelove her and she would WIN! #DWTS."
Unfortunately, it looks as if Teresa will just have to wait another season for a chance to do the Tango. E! News reported on Tuesday, Feb. 25 that NeNe Leakes, from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," has been cast on the 18th season of "Dancing With The Stars,: set to premiere Monday, March 17. NeNe herself has stayed mum on the news but did hint at big things coming for her.
"OMG! I have so many great things working I can't wait 2 tell u guys abt," she tweeted a day after E! News's report.
How do you think Teresa Giudice would do on the dancing show?

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed SB 1449 - the bill to reduce the penalties for possession of an ounce or less of pot from a misdemeanor criminal offense to a civil infraction. The civil infraction comes with a $100 fine, but there would be no arrest, court appearances, or criminal record for the accused.
More than 61,000 arrests were made last year in California for misdemeanor possession charges. With this measure the state hopes to realize millions of dollars in savings in court and law enforcement costs. The law takes effect on January 1, 2011.

Despite reporting an 11% year over year increase in revenues and a 10% increase in net income for the second quarter, shares of SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) fell 17% July 17. This was the worst one-day decline since Feb. 2009 for the flash memory manufacturer.
SanDisk beat analyst expectations the last eight quarters, which means that it is increasingly difficult for the company to please analysts and investors. On this occasion, SanDisk managed to deliver margin expansion, but that wasn't good enough to surprise investors. To make matters worse, the company gave a current-quarter revenue forecast that was far below the Street estimate, warning that it may be unable to meet the booming demand for solid-state drives (SSDs) despite the recent acquisition of Fusion-io (NYSE:FIO). Is SanDisk's inability to meet SSD demand just a short-term issue? Will SSDs help SanDisk with top-line growth in the long run?
The booming SSD market
SanDisk is directly exposed to the booming SSD market, which helped the company generate $1.63 billion in revenue in the most recent quarter, representing an 11% year over year growth rate. Note that the company's SSD revenues almost quadrupled in 2013, compared to 2012, reaching $1.17 billion or 19% of 2013 revenues.
In particular, the enterprise SSD segment -- which barely existed as a technology in 2008 -- is expected to grow rapidly in the next five years. This is because SSD technology allows enterprise data centers to avoid performance bottlenecks, which happen frequently when using hard disk drives (HDDs).
To benefit from this trend, SanDisk plans to introduce various enterprise SSD products in the second quarter, including the Optimus MAX SAS SSD, a powerful device able to deliver high-density data storage for enterprise, cloud, and virtualized data centers. The device, which has been designed for read-intensive applications such as data warehousing, provides plenty of disk space, which is unusual for SSD devices. This feature will most likely attract users who are still juggling between high speed storage (SSDs) and disk space (HDDs), and bring in new business to SanDisk.
Meeting demand
From a demand point of view, SanDisk has plenty of growth potential due to its direct exposure to the SSD market. However, it should be noted that SanDisk is supply constrained. It seems that the company is not able to deliver all of the orders that it gets. This is most likely because SanDisk has tried to reduce its cost base by limiting its wafer capacity expansion to only 5% this year.
However, this situation may be temporary, because SanDisk might have underestimated the SSD demand size for this year. To solve this, SanDisk could add wafer capacity as early as the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, according to Rajvindra Gill, an analyst at Needham & Co.
In addition, market pricing for SSD devices may be on an upward swing, according to analyst Richard Whittington from Drexel Hamilton. If this is correct, then SanDisk will no longer have to rely on limiting its wafer capacity expansion to keep costs under control, because better pricing for its SSD products will contribute to improved earnings.
Finally, the acquisition of Fusion-io is likely going to be a long-term positive for SanDisk, as it will increase the company's exposure to the SSD market by bringing in 7,000 worldwide customers. SanDisk will also get access to Fusion-io's SSD production capabilities. Fusion-io shipped 531,000 SSD peripheral devices last year.
Needless to say, it may take several quarters before SanDisk can successfully integrate Fusion-io products into its portfolio, but both companies should eventually benefit from vertical integration, cost reductions, and software optimization.
Final Foolish takeaway
SanDisk shares were sold off heavily after the latest earnings call when the company warned that it would be unable to the meet the booming demand for SSDs by issuing weak guidance. However, the supply issues of SanDisk may just be temporary. In the long run, the company should be able to meet demand by increasing its wafer capacity. Other positives include benefits from vertical integration and software optimization related to the acquisition of Fusion-io, and better market pricing for SSD devices.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

On this day

Quinn scores opening-day winner in 2000.
Quinn guns down Arsenal
2000 – Niall Quinn's 53rd minute header sealed a 1-0 win over Arsenal at the Stadium of Light on the opening day of the 2000-01 season.
Black Cats midfielder Michael Gray created the goal, sweeping down the left and crossing towards Quinn who made no mistake from six yards.
Arsenal created a number of chances during the match, with Ray Parlour spurning two efforts before Thierry Henry missed a great chance late on.
And Arsenal's misery was compounded in added time, when Patrick Vieira was sent off for striking Darren Williams.
The extended North Stand was also used for the first time, in a match that saw Stan Varga and Jurgen Macho make their Sunderland debuts.
The Black Cats would go on to be unbeaten against the Gunners over the course of the season, drawing the return fixture 2-2.
2003 – Sunderland players Kevin Kilbane, Gary Breen and Colin Healy were capped for Eire against Australia in Dublin. On the same day future striker Stephen Elliott scored a hat trick, whilst on Manchester City's books, on his Eire U21 debut against Poland in Gdansk.
1999 – Death of Sunderland's 1937 FA Cup winning goalkeeper, John Mapson, aged 82.
1961 – Brian Clough scored on his debut at newly promoted Walsall in a 4-3 defeat. He virtually kept up this goal a game average, netting 63 times in 74 appearances for the Black Cats.

Ironman or Iron-distance? Many organizers offer Iron-distance triathlon events (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run), but they are not as popular or as well known as Ironman-branded events. Just the fact that there is not set term for races of these distances (though some people suggest 'full-distance') other than "Iron-distance" spells the status of Ironman branding.
What are the differences between Ironman events and non-Ironman events of the same distance, other than logos and name recognition?
Non-Ironman-branded events
- Organized by various race organizers, ranging from single organizers to corporations.
- Typically lower in cost (lower entry fee).
- Most struggle for registrants, though there are exceptions.
- Independent races can sometimes be more challenging than an Ironman race.
- Many enjoy a laid back atmosphere with an emphasis on fun.
- Most are relatively new.
Ironman events
- Ironman events are run by World Triathlon Corp. (WTC).
- There are 35 Ironman races globally with over 85,000 entrants. Races sell out. Each race gets about 3,000 participants and most have waiting lists.
- Ironman as a brand is established with a well known name, even among non-triathletes. The first Ironman was held in 1978 in Hawaii and became well known after being regularly televised. Now, finishers do their own Ironman marketing through the self-promotion that comes with finishing via tattoos or gear.
- Each race's course design and location and the resulting quality associated with these races is praised.
- Festival-like production at each event, with post-race parties, lavish dinners and award ceremonies.
- Age-group champions earn entry into the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (fewer than 3 percent qualify each year).
Have you competed in a non-Ironman yet Ironman-distance event, as well as in an Ironman event? If so, what are the differences you have noticed?

College Hockey:Bowling Green sweeps Alabama-Huntsville
Falcons score three in third period.
One weekend after picking up his first win as a head coach, Chris Bergeron got his first weekend sweep as Bowling Green defeated Alabama-Huntsville 4-2 Saturday night.
"I feel like it means a lot," Bergeron said. "We're trying to develop confidence, and we've been playing well."
Bowling Green improved to 3-3 on the season, while the Alabama-Huntsville fell to 1-4.
The Falcons struck first, on a power play with 3:46 remaining in the first period on a goal by Marc Rodriguez. Skating below the left circle, Rodriguez received a pass from Jordan Samuels-Thomas and beat Chargers goalie CJ Groh over the left pad.
While Rodriguez beat Groh on a power play, the freshman goaltender, who was making his first career start, did a good job of keeping it to a 1-0 deficit in the first period.
With 9:57 remaining in the period, Groh made a pair of pad saves, despite playing deep in his net on the initial shot.
Then with 28 seconds remaining, Groh came up big again, stretching with the right pad to deny a Falcons forward who stood alone in front of the net.
The Falcons outshot the Chargers 11-4 in the period.
In the second period, the Falcons offensive continued, and the lead was almost doubled on a scintillating move by captain David Solway. On the penalty kill, Solway slid the puck through the skates on a Chargers defender, went airborne to avoid a hit, and almost beat Groh with a with a wrist shot from the right circle.
While Solway's move got the Bowling Green fans on their feet, they were quickly sent back to their seats when Matt Baxter's blast from the point tied the game, 1-1, just 47 seconds later.
Finally getting goal support, Groh continued to be stellar in the Chargers net, turning away eight shots in the second period, including two point blank glove saves with less then 30 seconds remaining.
While Groh did make a couple tough saves, Chargers coach Chris Luongo was happy with how his team responded from a poor first period
"We responded, came out and played much better, but there's always ebb and flow to the game," Luongo said. "You could say Bowling Green played well after getting outplayed in the second period."
The Chargers almost took the lead 4:03 into the third period when Chris Fairbanks wrist shot beat Falcons goalie Andrew Hammond, but it clanged off of the far post.
The Falcons finally turned their advantage of shots into an advantage in goals in the third period. First, Mike Fink beat Groh on a pseudo breakaway, going forehand-to-backhand and putting the puck over the left pad.
Only 42 seconds later, Brett Mohler scored his first collegiate goal, sneaking a shot from the faceoff dot between the right arm and body of Groh.
"It just felt like it was our time for the pucks to go in," Bergeron said. "We got a couple breaks and put traffic in front of the net."
If the two-goal push wasn't enough to secure victory, the Falcons got an insurance goal with 6:35 remaining when Andrew Krelove banked a shot off the far post and into the net.
The Chargers did add their second goal of the game with 2:51 remaining when freshman Alex Allan beat Hammond for his first career goal and point.
Hammond made 23 saves to earn the win, his second of the season. Groh stopped 20 shots in the loss.
Bowling Green returns to conference play next weekend when they head to Alaska, while Alabama-Huntsville will head to East Lansing for a game with Michigan State.
The two teams will meet again Nov. 26 at the RPI Tournament in Troy, NY.

With the 84th Academy Awards just days away, here are the obligatory predictions for who will go home with Oscar gold on March 2.
If these predictions pan out, then the awards would be pretty evenly distributed among the field - but without any major awards going to 'American Hustle' ... which is the only film nominated in all six major categories (film/director/actor/actress/supporting actress/supporting actor).
If you're planning an Oscar cram session, 'Captain Phillips,' 'Dallas Buyers Club,' 'Gravity' and 'Nebraska' are currently available on DVD/Blu-ray and VOD.
And day 2 of AMC Theaters 'Best Picture Showcase' will play in select AMC theaters March 1. The 12-hour marathon of five Best Picture contenders includes 'Nebraska,' 'Captain Phillips,' 'Her,' 'American Hustle' and 'Gravity.'
'American Hustle'
'Captain Phillips'
'Dallas Buyers Club'
'12 Years a Slave'
'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Should win: 'Her'
Will win: '12 Years a Slave'
'Her' was my pick for the best film of 2013 - but the best film doesn't always win the top Academy Award. Although this is a neck-and-neck race between 'Gravity' and '12 Years a Slave' - where 'Gravity' could very easily win this award - '12 Years a Slave' has the lethal combination of great performances, true story and a focus on America's worst sin. 'American Hustle,' with its strong all-around cast performances, could be a surprise winner if 'Gravity' and '12 YAS' split votes.
David O. Russell for 'American Hustle'
Alfonso Cuarón for 'Gravity'
Alexander Payne for 'Nebraska'
Steve McQueen for '12 Years a Slave'
Martin Scorsese for 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Should win: Alfonso Cuarón
Will win: Alfonso Cuarón
Fun fact - the director who wins 'Best Director' award from the Directors Guild has gone on to win Best Director at the Academy Awards all but seven times since the DGA Awards began. Cuarón, who won the DGA honor this year, is one of two absolutely certain locks this year.
Christian Bale for 'American Hustle'
Bruce Dern for 'Nebraska'
Leonardo DiCaprio for 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Chiwetel Ejiofor for '12 Years a Slave'
Matthew McConaughey for 'Dallas Buyers Club'
Should win: Matthew McConaughey
Will win: Matthew McConaughey
McConaughey faces stiff competition from Ejiofor and a surging DiCaprio, but the 'Dallas Buyers' star will win this award not just based on his incredible performance, but because he has been arguably the best actor over the past two years. With his incredible turns in 'Bernie,' 'Mud,' 'Magic Mike' and 'True Detective,' McConaughey has finally become the great actor he was projected to become. Ejiofor has every claim to this award and a win by him would not be a shock or upset. But DiCaprio's performance in 'WoWS' is not on par with any of the other nominees - if he wins, it will be a sort of 'body of work'/lifetime achievement award and not because his Jordan Belfort was a dynamic performance.
Amy Adams for 'American Hustle'
Cate Blanchett for 'Blue Jasmine'
Sandra Bullock for 'Gravity'
Judi Dench for 'Philomena'
Meryl Streep for 'August: Osage County'
Should win: Cate Blanchett
Will win: Cate Blanchett
There are only two, 100 percent certain locks in this competitive Award Season - and Blanchett's brilliant performance in 'Blue Jasmine' towers over all her competition. Blanchett will win this award, you can take that to the bank. The unlikely dark horse could be the oft-nominated Streep, whose great performance is the only interesting aspect of the mundane 'Osage County.'
Barkhad Abdi for 'Captain Phillips'
Bradley Cooper for 'American Hustle'
Michael Fassbender for '12 Years a Slave'
Jonah Hill for 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Jared Leto for 'Dallas Buyers Club'
Should win: Barkhad Abdi
Will win: Jared Leto
Leto has all the Award Season momentum - he's won virtually every Supporting Actor award out there for his strong performance in 'Dallas Buyers.' That said, Abdi's character is the most dynamic in the field: his Somali pirate shifts effortlessly from charming, aggressive and desperate.
A win by Hill would be a travesty.
Sally Hawkins for 'Blue Jasmine'
Jennifer Lawrence for 'American Hustle'
Lupita Nyong'o for '12 Years a Slave'
Julia Roberts for 'August: Osage County'
June Squibb for 'Nebraska'
Should win: Lupita Nyong'o
Will win: Lupita Nyong'o
For all its horrific depiction of slavery atrocities, the most gut-wrenching aspect of '12 YAS' is Nyong'o's performance. She is the human factor that truly transforms '12 YAS' from an observational condemnation of slavery into a powerful, if difficult-to-watch, damning of a terrible American institution. But any awards Nyong'o did not win this year went to J-Law - whose unstable, x-factor of a character was a combustible force in 'American Hustle.'
'Before Midnight' - Written by Richard Linklater
'Captain Phillips' - Screenplay by Billy Ray
'Philomena' - Screenplay by Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope
'12 Years a Slave' - Screenplay by John Ridley
'The Wolf of Wall Street' - Screenplay by Terence Winter
Should win: '12 Years a Slave'
Will win: '12 Years a Slave'
'12 Years a Slave' is a powerful adaptation of a man's horrific journey -- but some voters could be won over by the charismatic, if f-bomb dependent, script for 'WoWS.'
'American Hustle' - Written by Eric Warren Singer and David O. Russell
'Blue Jasmine' - Written by Woody Allen
'Dallas Buyers Club' - Written by Craig Borten & Melisa Wallack
'Her' - Written by Spike Jonze
'Nebraska' - Written by Bob Nelson
Should win: 'Her'
Will win: 'Her'
Spike Jonze wrote a poetic and lyrically beautiful script - one that gave humanity to a machine and pushed an inert man toward living a fulfilling, engaging life.
'The Croods'
'Despicable Me 2'
'Ernest & Celestine'
'The Wind Rises'
Should win: 'The Wind Rises'
Will win: 'Frozen'
The category pits massive name recognition ('Frozen') against a foreign animated film ('The Wind Rises'). While 'Frozen' is a hugely successful, CGI animated film from Disney, it's main competition is a modest classically animated Japanese film from an animation legend (Hayao Miyazaki). Although 'The Wind Rises' has won numerous animated feature awards and has been a serious contender in the foreign-language category, the smart money is on the super popular and universally beloved 'Frozen.'
'The Act of Killing'
'Cutie and the Boxer'
'Dirty Wars'
'The Square'
'20 Feet from Stardom'
Should win: '20 Feet from Stardom'
Will win: 'The Act of Killing'
Just about every Best Documentary award has gone to either 'The Act of Killing' or 'Stories We Tell' ... and since 'Stories' (#5 on my 'Best of 2013' list) was not even nominated for an Oscar, this category is for 'Act of Killing' to lose. '20 Feet from Stardom' is a compelling and entertaining documentary that should take this award and 'The Square' is just politically palatable enough to swoop in and steal this Oscar.
'The Broken Circle Breakdown'
'The Great Beauty'
'The Hunt'
'The Missing Picture'
Should win: 'The Hunt'
Will win: 'The Great Beauty'
This category was blown completely open with the omission of 'Blue is the Warmest Color,' 'Wadjda' and 'The Past' - films that have also won this award this Award Season. With these three critically-acclaimed foreign flicks taken out of the race, the strongest remaining film is 'The Great Beauty,' which has been at least nominated for just about every foreign language film category this Award Season.
'The Grandmaster'
'Inside Llewyn Davis'
Should win: 'Gravity'
Will win: 'Gravity'
'Inside Llewyn Davis' has the best shot of knocking off 'Gravity' for this award - the divisive 'Davis' was, if nothing else, beautifully shot.
'American Hustle'
'Captain Phillips'
'Dallas Buyers Club'
'12 Years a Slave'
Should win: 'Gravity'
Will win: 'Gravity'
The fact that 'Gravity' is an unrelenting, tension-filled ride of a movie is one massive achievement - but the fact that this emotionally draining roller-coaster is only 91 minutes long (including end credits) is a testimony to 'Gravity's editing. No frame is wasted - the quiet moments are beautiful, the connective tissue is dread-inducing terror that quickly ramps up to a stomach-dropping, harrowing fight for survival. 'Gravity' owes all its kinetic energy to its brilliant editing.
'American Hustle'
'The Great Gatsby'
'12 Years a Slave'
Should win: 'Her'
Will win: 'The Great Gatsby'
The only good thing that can be said of 'Gatsby' is how pretty the film looked.
'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'
'Iron Man 3'
'The Lone Ranger'
'Star Trek Into Darkness'
Should win: 'Gravity'
Will win: 'Gravity'
This should be a slam dunk for 'Gravity.' The only x-factors could be how much voters loved Smaug.

In spite of his disability of 44 years, he lived life to the fullest, getting married, always driving himself, hunting, fishing, and attending sporting events. Jim was a member of the NFL CNY Touchdown Club and the Ilion Fish and Game Club. His paralysis never held him back and he never complained! He loved people in general and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He truly was an inspiration to all who knew him. Jim leaves his beloved wife, Thelma; and loving children, James David Putnam, II and wife, Wendy of Frankfort; Christine Coniguliaro and husband Joseph of Clayville; his brothers Sidney Putnam and Joyce of Berkley, CA, Darwin Putnam and Patti of Frankfort, and Donald Putnam & Pat of Whitesboro; and sisters Barbara Maslyn of Clifton Springs, and Beverly Forbes and Carl of Frankfort.

He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws, including Amelia and Everett ?Bud? Trombley, Florence and Don Lowe and Arthur Bunce. He was predeceased by his parents and in-laws, including his sister-in-law, Evelyn Bunce and brother-in-law, Reverend Peter Puleo. The family will receive relatives and friends at the Enea Family Funeral Home, 4309 Acme Road, between Frankfort and Ilion (894-8000), on Friday, August 3, 2007 from 4:00 ? 8:00 pm.

Situated in Majete Wildlife Reserve, in the Lower Shire Valley, one hour drive from Blantyre Thawale Lodge provides excellent accommodation for visitors wishing to enjoy game viewing in the newly re-stocked reserve. Long neglected, Majete has been the scene of an impressive programme of re-location of a great range and impressive numbers of animal's including elephant, black rhino, leopard, buffalo, eland and sable. It is expected that lion will be introduced in August 2012. This will make Majete one of the only reserves in Malawi where the BIG FIVE can be viewed all year round.
