Francesco Vadalà of Telecom Italia to Lead Technical Work Program at OMA
Los Angeles, CA - November 14, 2012 - The Open Mobile Alliance announced today that they have elected Francesco Vadalà of Telecom Italia as Chairman to their Technical Plenary. In addition, Kepeng Li of Huawei has been elected Technical Plenary Vice-chairman and will join Francesco Vadalà along with Technical Plenary Vice-chairman Roland Hechwartner of T-Mobile in leading the Technical Work Program at the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA).
"I look forward to working with Francesco Vadalà in his new role at OMA as Technical Plenary Chair," said Mark Cataldo, OMA Board Chair. "OMA has a vibrant work program that drives the creation of our interoperable mobile data services across networks worldwide, and the entire OMA membership supports Francesco as he leads this work program into 2013 and beyond."
An experienced telecom engineer, Francesco Vadalà has been working for cellular network operators for more than 10 years in different areas of expertise involving innovation, technical strategy and R&D. Since 2007 he has been working in the Service Layer and Messaging Innovation department of Telecom Italia where he analyses emerging technologies and coordinates standards activities in the areas of service layer such as messaging, service exposure, architectures for mobile applications and service delivery and social networks. He helps to create and refine standards strategies in support of deployment plans and roadmap evolution for the service layer, driving strategic and tactical interests in industry consortia and organizations, as well as acting as a consultancy for Telecom Italia's partner operators. At OMA, he has been serving as Chairman of the Requirements Working Group since March 2009 and Vice-Chairman of the Technical Plenary since December 2010.
"I am honored to serve as OMA Technical Plenary Chair," stated Francesco Vadalà, "and I look forward to continuing the good work done at OMA over the past 10 years. The services ecosystem has changed significantly in recent years, with OTT players becoming increasing relevant to the consumer and smartphones shifting focus from the network to downloadable applications. This is a crucial challenge that OMA is addressing as we define the future of mobile service enablers."
Francesco Vadalà takes over as Technical Plenary Chair from out-going chair Musa Unmehopa of Alcatel-Lucent at this week's OMA meetings in Los Angeles, California, when the OMA Annual General Meeting will also be held.
"As the former Technical Plenary Chair myself, it has been a pleasure working with Musa Unmehopa as Technical Plenary Chair over the past two years at OMA," stated Mark Cataldo, OMA Board Chairman. "I speak for the entire OMA membership when I say that his contribution to OMA both in the technical work program and as a speaker promoting OMA service enablers has been invaluable."
In addition to his term as Technical Plenary Chair, Musa Unmehopa has also served within OMA as Mobile Web Services Vice-chair, OMA Architecture Working Group Chair and OMA Technical Plenary Vice-chair. As Technical Plenary Chair, Musa Unmehopa oversaw the delivery of more than 100 mobile service enabler packages in the areas of Device Management, Content Delivery, Location and Network APIs amongst others.
"It has been a distinct honor and privilege to serve as an elected officer at OMA, and I am very pleased to be able to hand over the baton to Francesco Vadalà," stated Musa Unmehopa, outgoing OMA Technical Plenary Chair. "I am confident that he will provide strong technical direction for OMA. OMA has a compelling value proposition, and I look forward to many new successes for OMA under Francesco Vadalà's leadership."

Treasure hunters
Trade Roots sets pickers loose to find stuff with a story to tell
Darron Kloster, timescolonist.comPublished: Saturday, October 15, 2011
Christos and Carla Koulas consider themselves modern-day treasure hunters.
If there's an antique you want - maybe something strange or unique for your home or building project - they use a network of "pickers" who scour the globe for the unusual.
"When you nail it for a customer, it's such a good feeling," said Christos, who opened Trade Goods with his wife at 545 Herald St. in late August.
Carla and Christos Koulas show off a Coca-Cola cooler that was produced for the rear of Honda motorcycles in Southeast Asia decades ago at their new store, Trade Roots, on Herald Street.
Lyle Stafford
"It's really like a big treasure hunt. People want something and you try and find it for them. There's an incredible amount of satisfaction in that."
Trade Roots is a fresh slate for the entrepreneurial couple. Christos is a former commercial pilot and aerial surveyor and Carla a copy writer and researcher.
And while antique archeology is their chance to "lay down some roots," they still moonlight - Christos as a masters student and part-time instructor at the University of Victoria and Carla as a yoga instructor downtown.
In less than two months with, the couple have been busy gleaning treasures from pickers around the world. Their finds include 120-year-old gates from China, a stag-head chandelier from France, industrial carts and storage units from shuttered factories in the U.S. midwest.
From India, they managed to get their hands on a Coca-Cola cooler manufactured by Honda that fits on the back of a motorbike.
The inventory goes on.
There's an insatiable appetite for unique pieces as consumers and designers create living and working spaces with "something that has a story behind it."
Popular television shows such as American Pickers and its Canadian variation, as well as Auction Hunters and Storage Wars, are fuelling the rush to unearth the valued and bizarre from other people's trash.
Trade Roots was set up to feed the retail end, said Christos.
If it isn't a specific antique, then it's pieces that can be used in reproductions. Portholes from a naval scrap yard in Europe were built into a metal locker that could be used for a kitchen pantry, living room or even a man cave.
The couple use between 10 and 20 pickers and that network is growing fast. They put the word out for what they're looking for and pickers start the hunt or pull from their warehouses or stores.
They connect online with photos of the goods.
Christos said his picker connections started with his father, a Richmond-based travel agent who spent decades arranging trips for treasure hunters to far-flung places.
Costs may not be as high as you would think.
The stag-head chandelier picked from France was acquired by a Saltspring Island native who teaches in Australia. She bought it for $1,200 and had it shipped Down Under for under $400.
The Chinese gates made of hammered iron and pine in original red and black paint - planned as a sign for the new store - were sold and installed at a local home for $2,000.
"We're not out to make big bucks on everything," said Christos. "We want to establish a customer base for life, people who keep coming back because they see value in what they're getting."
Added Carla: "We're interested in turnover; not a 300 per cent markup. We don't want to put things out of people's price range, because most people don't have a lot to spend."
Trade Roots also carries fair-trade coffee from Costa Rica and creations from homegrown talent, including the furniture creations of Steve Guan, a graduate of Camosun College's woodworking program, and watercolour paintings by Sandhu Singh, a local cardiac nurse.
Trade Roots, set up in a former Chinese grocery with showroom in the front and workroom and warehouse in the back, was the perfect anchor for Christos and Carla, who want to put down roots, start a family and eventually go out to do some of the picking themselves.
Christos, 28, was laid off from his job as a pilot doing remote sensing and aerial surveys. Other job opportunities were available but involved living in remote locations and working weeks on and weeks off.
He's now in his third year of a master of science degree and is teaching statistics labs part time at UVic. Carla, 29, was tired of the office life and now teaches yoga.
"This is something we never thought we'd do professionally," said Christos. "This business binds us together and essentially allows us to plant some roots in Victoria."
Added Carla: "The timing of it was great. The television shows, the pop culture part of collecting all lined up."
The couple are planning a grand opening next weekend and a website is expected to be up today.
"It's been so incredibly positive since we opened Aug. 22. We just opened the doors and people have been wandering in."

I'm been a fan of Ken Scholes' work ever since I reviewed the first book of his The Psalms of Isaak series, Lamentation, for Realms of Fantasy magazine. Its mix of forgotten ancient technology, religion and magic reminded me of several favorite works, including Jack Vance's The Dying Earth and M. John Harrison's Viriconium stories. Scholes writes high-concept sci fi/fantasy, and he makes it fun. Sadly, these things aren't always the same thing. In contrast, Happily, Scholes' books are both cerebral and a pleasure to read.Read More

5.0 out of 5 stars Why isn't there more music like this?
There exists today an entire army of reviewers ready to dismiss every AC/DC outing as "the same old thing."
There is no problem with "the same old thing" when the same old thing is simple perfection. By contrast, the last few AC/DC albums have suffered from a bit of an identity crisis; they attempted to layer heavy-handed production on what is...

"Why've gotta stiff upper lip...and I shoot from the hip!!"

That line says it all about this tuff New York band who came from England and Scotland. This is one tuff album, and AC/DC is one tuff band, one of the last tuff bands around, actually.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stiff Upper Lip,
Jacko Monteo "wacob" (Petaluma CA) - See all my reviews
Stiff Upper Lip, AC/DC's 15th studio album, may not reach the heights of Back in Black or Highway to Hell, but it delivers strongly and satisfyingly. It's the record that the highly-touted, Rick Rubin-produced Ballbreaker should have been: a simple, addictive, hard album, bursting with bold riffs and bolstered by a crunching, thrillingly visceral sound. Sure, there are absolutely no new ideas, but that's the point. AC/DC knows their strengths and they embrace them. And why shouldn't they? Nobody writes a better riff than the Young brothers; each song has a riff so catchy, it feels like you've heard it for years. Is there anything earth-shaking? Hardly, but it's largely terrific nonetheless, just because AC/DC are so good at what they do. It's simple music, to be sure, but it's unassumingly musical and, in a way rather smart. If making music like this was really that easy, why can't anybody else do it this well? Some bands are capable of knocking out one record like this -- one, maybe two. AC/DC does it nearly every time out. They've never really stretched, yet that's why they have one of the most reliable catalogs in rock & roll. When you put on one of their records, you know what you're in for, and they always deliver. With Stiff Upper Lip, they're not at classic status, but they're still top-notch. This may not be the first AC/DC record for a collection, but once you're into their scene, it's a fine place to be.
4.0 out of 5 stars Still "Stiff" After All These Years.,
The Groove (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
"You can't stop rock and roll," barks Brian Johnson on track number 7 off "Stiff Upper Lip." Apparently, you can't stop AC/DC either. In the thirty-odd years these guys have been around, they've bypassed every known musical trend (classic rock, disco, punk, new wave, techno, and elctronica) while leaving their sound virtually unchanged. And why should they bother? If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and on their umpteenth album, they've given more of the same head-banging rock to please old and new fans alike. Produced by George Young (the elder brother of guitarists Angus and Malcolm), we get killer guitar riffs, catchy choruses, and enough double-entendres to make Austin Powers proud. These guys have clearly aged and have somewhat mellowed a bit since the glory days of "Back in Black," but the energy is undeniably present. "Safe in New York City," "Hold Me Back," and "House of Jazz" deliver the goods as only AC/DC can deliver them. The album lacks one straight up classic in the vein of "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" or "TNT," but even so, "Stiff Upper Lip" is a very solid record from "the thunder from down under."
2.0 out of 5 stars Backwards again....,
Gergellor (Supimpal�ndia) - See all my reviews
It's unbeliavable the lack of auto-criticism of these guys! Can it be possible that Brian Johnson (and the Young brothers) hear his vocals and do not realize that it's gone forever? Can't he see tha his voice now is simply annoying, tuneless, without any vocals inflections, no change between songs?
Ac/DC has been mocking his fans for a long time. Why? Because they simply don't care anymore. That's the only reasonable explanations for releasing twelve identical songs that repeat their choruses over and over againa; for Phil Rudd's worst drumming ever; for Johnson lack of voice; for Angus ludicrous solos; for the lyrics reaching an all time low (giving sequence to the obnoxious lyrics of BALLBREAKER).
It seems they are having fun and trying to live under the motto: "The worse, the better", and trying to compose the worst album possible.
In the old days, AC/DC were simple, nasty, but with tons of "charm" in their rock and roll. Now they're just a parody of themselves, they're just "cheap" and mean.
By the way, Angus, if I see you in concert, I don't care at all if you still use that silly school uniform. You can get rid of it. All I would like to was to hear some singer who can sing.
1.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, kids - this album pretty much reeks,
By A Customer
Before I begin let me just say, I was once the biggest AC/DC fan in the world. I've been buying their albums since 1978. That said, it saddens me to say that this is the last AC/DC album I will ever buy. Ever since 1983's Flick of the Switch it's been all downhill. Explain something to me - if you're one of the ones giving this album four and five stars, do you honestly feel this collection of JUNK is as good as Back in Black? If so, please go see a shrink. This album wouldn't be worth 50 cents in a dollar store. Where do I start with this mess? (1)Brian Johnson's voice is shot. He sounds like an 80 year old lady being strangled. (2)Angus' riffs are dull dull DULL. (3)The chorus of each song is repeated constantly (I feel safe in NY CITY, I feel safe in NY City, I feel safe in NY City, etc etc etc). (4) Phil Rudd (never a great drummer) plays as if he is on 20 doses of codeine, playing the same dull beat for every dragging song. (Hey Phil - you got arthritis? How about a drum roll every now and then?) (5) Lyrics are the dumbest ever (I know that's saying a lot). They sound like they've been written by an angry eleven year old. (6) There is not ONE remotely interesting song on this album. The best song on this album is not as good as the worst on For Those About to Rock. Ain't that sad?
As good as Back in Black? Sure, dude - and Bon Scott is actually still alive and living as a Buddhist monk deep in the Himalaya's. This is a band that should have given it up after Razor's Edge (1990). Angus, it was nice knowing you, but check yourself into the nearest rest home - the game's over.
3.0 out of 5 stars Why've gotta stiff upper lip!!,
Da Peace Dogg (Hollywood, California - livin' humble) - See all my reviews
"Why've gotta stiff upper lip...and I shoot from the hip!!"
- Brian Johnson, 2000
That line says it all about this tuff New York band who came from England and Scotland. This is one tuff album, and AC/DC is one tuff band, one of the last tuff bands around, actually.
Gritty frontman Brian "the grit" Johnson has never sounded better than on this album, wouldn't you agree? Also, the guitar by the little school guy is excellent, as always, as is the virtuoso drumming by longtime drummer Phil "Mr. Excitement" Rudd. Not since England's Saxon have we seen such a revolution in the world of hard-rock rock 'n' roll!! Agreed??
As for the racous songs on this AC/DC masterpiece - they speak for themselves, they're simply seminal AC/DC, perhaps superceding "Black 'n' Black" from 1980. Turn these songs up, play 'em loud, salute rock 'n' roll for what it's worth, cuz it'll soon be gone, folks, very soon indeed.
Raspy vocals, raunchy sentiments and loud riff-chugging is what this album offers....do you got what it takes to hang??
Never forget the words of the immortal (immoral) Brian Johnson:
"Why've gotta stiff upper lip...and I shake from the hip!!"
3.0 out of 5 stars A whole lot better than BALLBREAKER,
T. Ulreich (IL) - See all my reviews
10 years after the smash hit "THE RAZORS EDGE" we get "STIFF UPPER LIP". And 4 years after there disappointing but not the worst AC/DC album ever , "BALLBREAKER". I gave it 3 stars because it's your typical AC/DC album. It's been almost 30 years and they haven't changed a bit (go figure). This album reminds me of Back In Black in many ways. Such as, a lot of people like me are just getting into AC/DC. It also has some very catchy tunes , and some of them are bluesy as well. Like for there first single "Stiff Upper Lip" very catchy and nice to sing along to, then we have "Safe In New York City" kinda has that bluesy sound to it but all in all it's a good song. Brian Johnson's vocals aren't that bad in this album , but they've certainly improved since "BALLBREAKER". If they continue to make CD's such as this one I still will be buying there records and supporting them. I saw them about 2 years ago and they still put on a great f'n show (even 20 years later)! Even there new stuff sounds a whole lot better than these new bands out there , I'm just relieved we still have one of the greatest rock n' roll bands that still remain from the 70's...AC/DC
5.0 out of 5 stars Why isn't there more music like this?,
Amazon Customer (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
There exists today an entire army of reviewers ready to dismiss every AC/DC outing as "the same old thing."
There is no problem with "the same old thing" when the same old thing is simple perfection. By contrast, the last few AC/DC albums have suffered from a bit of an identity crisis; they attempted to layer heavy-handed production on what is essentialy a straight-ahead blues band, more closely related to B.B. King than to the mass of '80s hair-metal bands that are all but extinct today.
George Young's production on Stiff Upper Lip brings to the forefront those strengths which make AC/DC the undisputed kings of blues-metal: the Young brothers' simple, undeniable blue-collar riffs and Malcolm Young's working-class voice. Tracks like Stiff Upper Lip and Hold Me Back are toe-tapping, head-bobbing, hammer-pounding hard-working songs the likes of which can be found nowhere else in record stores today. There hasn't been an AC/DC album (or indeed any album) like this in years, and that's a shame.
What a good thing we have this one to listen to!
5.0 out of 5 stars Stiff Upper Lip,
"your_worst_nightmare" (IN YOUR TOILET, SERIOUSLY! GO CHECK) - See all my reviews
I am a thirteen-year old fan of AC/DC and I was a little uneasy about buying this album because other reviews said their music weakened, Johnson's voice weakened and they lost their touch. I was astounded at the greatness of BACK IN BLACK and HIGHWAY TO HELL so I had to buy this album. I was astounded by it's greatness! There is not one bad song on here. As for Johnson's voice, I like it better this way because it's more of singing than shrieking as on BACK IN BLACK. It sounds deeper than his earlier almost screaming voice. It's a different sound than BACK IN BLACK but it's not worse, but then again it's not better. If I was old enough to say I was a fan since HIGH VOLTAGE then this would probably be a different review.
Some said this was a return to their BACK IN BLACK sound but it's more of return to HIGHWAY TO HELL. AC/DC is incredible and it's amazing that they can be that old and still rock! It's also amazing that they can appeal to a younger generation. All the kids at school still talk about and sing some songs on BACK IN BLACK.
Half my class said this album was better than BACK IN BLACK. If AC/DC is reading then I want them to know that they shouldn't give up and they still have it! ...
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best,
Adam Pickerill (Southern Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This is one of the best albums the band has ever made, and can serve as good reference material for what make them what they are. AC/DC are, hands down, no questions asked, the greatest hard rock band of all time. Their influence is immeasurable (tribute albums alone range from techno to death metal to bluegrass) and they are an absolute corner stone of rock music. Just finally getting around to getting some of the respect they deserve by 'the powers that be' they couldn't have released this album at a better time. The drought that was the 5 years since ballbreaker was tough for 'dc fans, but they gave us exactly what we wanted when they finally stepped up to the microphone. Stiff Upper Lip is the best album since the fan favorite 'Flick of The Switch', and it earns its place as one of the must have AC/DC albums every step of the way. Highlights for me include Can't Stand Still, Satellite Blues, Safe in NYC, and the defiant Can't Stop Rock n Roll. In short, the entire album is a battle cry against today's so called music. Get it now :)
5.0 out of 5 stars Hair-Metal fans NEED NOT APPLY!,
By A Customer
This album is the closest thing to blues/50's rock I've heard in years.I noticed many people who "trashed-it" are fans of bands like Winger, Cinderella, Warrant, Quiet Riot & Poison; WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?!? One "expert" gives Quiet Riot(QUIET RIOT!) 5-star reviews! AC/DC are THE KINGS OF "GROOVE"; this album (PLATINUM!) shows some people still like REAL ROCK N ROLL! AC/DC has not been this bluesy since the underrated CLASSIC "Powerage!" The title-track, "Meltdown," "Hold Me Back" and ESPECIALLY "Can't Stand Still" are played so relaxed and with "raw-feeling." They are the blusiest-tunes, with Angus playing some of his best blues "licks" ever. Brian Johnson(keep trashing-him, as AC/DC keeps going platinum & selling-out arenas with his "horrible" voice) sings with feeling, and the blusiest I've ever heard him on "Stiff Upper Lip." If you want an "opera-voice" or a rock" voice, don't listen to him! Compare him with the "wig-wearing" Kevin Dubrow from that STUPID band called.....Quiet Riot, whose albums you can find for [$$$},who WISHES he could sing as well as Johnson! Brian Johnson sings HEAVY-ROCK, and his voice IS hard rock. He gets blusier with age; a "Howlin' Wolf"(GREAT BLUES LEGEND!) type of "growl." Enough defending of Johnson, who seems a target for bandwagon -jumpers; platinum & the title-track being #1 for over 2-months speak more LOUDLY than anything I can write! There are 2 fast-songs on "SUL": "Safe In New York City" & "Give It Up"; both show that AC/DC can still "skull-crush"... The rest of the tunes are mid-tempo. "Satellite Blues" has a vintage AC/DC "crunch" & chorus; "Damned" is a "bluesy-stomp" and a jab at political correctness; "Come & Get It" is a great "sleaze" tune, with a cool-groove and the "Dirty Deeds" "troll growl" by Malcolm Young;"All Screwed Up" is a pounding-track with a cool-break in the middle; "House Of Jazz" has a slow & ominous-beat(did I mention AC/DC has a "beat?!?"); "You Can't Stop Rock N Roll" is an angry sounding "chant" with some very WICKED "string-plucking" by Angus, who has never abandoned HIS STYLE to appease critics; the guy can play, and if anything "under-plays," as his goal is to "kick-in-your-guts" without "finger-exercises" up-&-down the guitar-neck! I'M GLAD THE PEOPLE THAT KNOCK THIS ALBUM HAVE THEIR OTHER REVIEWS PRINTED & YOU CAN SEE THE GARBAGE THEY LIKE! Keep listening to Winger! I think Quiet Riot may be the opening-act for some "frog-races" these days! Also glad to see some high school students into "SUL"; you guys see through the "B.S" out there & I salute you! If you like this check-out "Powerage" which has more heavy-songs & great-lyrics by THE MAN, Bon Scott! It has a bluesy-feel too...For those saying they are "slowed-down," the next-album is being written to be heavy; and I'm sure Cinderella won't out-sell it!!

SOUTHGATE, MI (WLNS) - Representative John Dingell, the longest-serving member of Congress in American history and a champion of Detroit's auto industry, has announced his retirement.
"Decades after his father first introduced a bill for comprehensive health reform, John continued to introduce health care legislation at the beginning of every session," said President Barack Obama. "And as an original author of the Affordable Care Act, he helped give millions of families the peace of mind of knowing they won't lose everything if they get sick."
The 87-year-old Dingell was first elected in 1955, filling the House seat vacated by his late father. Representative Dingell made the announcement Monday before a speech to a Detroit-area Chamber of Commerce.
John Dingell has devoted his life to public service, including serving in the U.S. Army during the Second World War, and dedicating nearly 60 years as congressman in service of the people of Southeast Michigan," said Governor Rick Snyder.
He became the longest-serving member of Congress last year.
Dingell is the former chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Democrat has been a master of legislative deal-making and staunch advocate for the U.S. auto industry.
Dingell has played a role in a number of major pieces of legislation, including President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, Medicare.

The Standard in Grant Park is under new ownership and will stay closed for the time being, emerging from its cocoon in spring as a redesigned and changed restaurant.
The restaurant was the site of a horrific crime, just over a year ago, when bartender John Henderson was shot to death during a robbery. This incident brought to light the resurgence of crime in central Atlanta.
Here's the notice from the restaurant's Web site:
The Standard would like to thank Grant Park and Atlanta residents for their continued patronage and support. We are under a new ownership makeup and will be making exciting new changes over the next few weeks that will improve our ability to serve you better.
Please check our website and Facebook page for updates on our progress. Thanks again, and we look forward to serving you again very soon!

Rumor is that it will reopen as a gastropub. After the murder, I always felt sad when I went in there. I'd take a sip of my beer or a bite from my sandwich and I couldn't shake the "my God, someone was murdered here" feeling. No one will ever forget what happened to John Henderson but maybe this is the chance for the new owners to turn the bar into something positive.
February 15th, 2010

I agree with DP – the headline suggested that this business is closed for good. I think that's a disservice to the new owners. I'm sure they would prefer people looking forward to an updated business rather then writing them off for good.

Did you ever think for one inkling of a moment that A$$ WIPES like you probably led to the demise of the place. Folks that want to drop in for a bite to eat don't necessarily want to deal with the smell of smoke in addition to the smell of stale beer. Alcohol sales and smoking won't sustain a successful business for long.

I loved the Standard and visited often. I was one of the unlucky decaturites who had to find a new second-home after Trackside burned down and the Standard was there for me, thankfully. GREAT FOOD – AWESOME STAFF! The only drawback was the lingering smell of puke… I think they vented the place well when it was smoky, but something that someone puked on never got cleaned up properly… and when everyone who runs the place smokes, they can't smell it, so I guess it never got cleaned up. Other than that, I'd have to say it was a top notch place overall… I wouldn't mind seeing Trackside open back up though… hint hint, for whoever's listening – It's been over a year now and I haven't seen even one inch of progress rebuilding that great institution.

I enjoyed the Standard in weather that allowed me to sit outside. Like several others here, I couldn't tolerate eating in an ashtray. I was terribly disappointed that the place chose to focus on BAR rather than RESTAURANT. Lots of young couples with kids couldn't come here since the smoking policy meant no one under 18 allowed. I am happy to have restaurants within walking distance, and I welcome the new incarnation. I suspect I'll be a more regular customer. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Movie News
A Movie A Day: Quint has a FLASHBACK (1990)
The '90s are going to make the '60s look like the '50s.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's installment of A Movie A Day. [For those now joining us, A Movie A Day is my attempt at filling in gaps in my film knowledge. My DVD collection is thousands strong, many of them films I haven't seen yet, but picked up as I scoured used DVD stores. Each day I'll pull a previously unseen film from my collection and discuss it here. Each movie will have some sort of connection to the one before it, be it cast or crew member.] With today's film we follow actor Cliff de Young over from SHOCK TREATMENT, where he attempted to fill Barry Bostwick's shoes as Brad Majors. In 1990's FLASHBACK he plays a small town sheriff running for Congress. He's a heavy, a crooked cop, but we'll get to that in a minute. FLASHBACK was probably thought up as being a way to take MIDNIGHT RUN's winning odd couple comedy formula of a man hired to escort a fugitive to justice, but to use it as a vehicle to bring Dennis Hopper back into the mainstream. Instead of the bounty hunter/bail skipper relationship from MIDNIGHT RUN we have an FBI agent (Keifer Sutherland) and an ex-radical hippie (Dennis Hopper) traveling north to Oregon for a hearing. Maybe it was me coming straight off of SHOCK TREATMENT, a film I didn't enjoy, but FLASHBACK wasn't a horrendous piece of shit to me. There's at least a narrative and a chemistry between Hopper and Sutherland. That by no means excuses the faults of the film. I can look at something like SHOCK TREATMENT and despite my distaste for it, I can recognize that it is probably somebody's favorite film. Somewhere in the world there is a person who loves it for all the reasons I don't and to them that is their favorite movie. Then I look at FLASHBACK and even though I thought it was okay and worth the watch I don't think it is anybody's favorite movie. The film is middle of the road, balancing the good chemistry and clever lines with some horrendous winking at the camera (Hopper has a line where he says "It takes more than going down to the local video store and renting Easy Rider to become a rebel" for instance), terrible jumps in logic (who knew Oregon bordered Canada?) and radical character shifts. Following the Midnight Run formula, you know that the uptight young FBI agent will eventually relate to the old hippie, but the way they do it in this movie stops it dead in its tracks. While on the run from a pissed off Sheriff (de Young… who somehow goes from upstanding local Sheriff to a blood thirsty madman because he roughed up Sutherland before he knew he was an FBI agent… now he wants to kill them both in order to get the win on his upcoming election… I probably spent more time talking about it here than they do illustrating his motives in the movie) Sutherland lucks out and happens to be in the very woods he grew up in, revealing that his parents were big hippies living on a commune in Oregon and he grew up there. The commune is abandoned, save for an aging hippie chick (Carol Kane) and thank god she has a 16mm projector because watching a (very long) home movie is what makes Sutherland remember the beauty of being a hippie. Sutherland plays the character shift for all it is worth and I give him credit, but the story just didn't give him enough time and relied too heavily on convenience to force the story into the Midnight Run formula. Keep a look out for Sam's dad from SIXTEEN CANDLES, Mr. Paul Dooley, as Sutherland's FBI boss as well as a pair of comic relief characters (ex-hippies struggling in the '80s world) played by Richard Masur and Michael McKean. They are a little wasted in the flick, but it was still fun watching them work. Final thoughts… It's fun seeing young Jack Bauer in action, although at this time in Sutherland's life he still looked more Ace Merrill/David from Lost Boys than Bauer. The sheer number of '80s character actors, the charisma of Hopper and the laughs the movie does deliver make it worth giving it a watch at some point, but it's not good enough to go out of your way to find it. It's not a bad distraction, but it's not great cinema either. Plus it has a great soundtrack... lots of Rolling Stones and Steppenwolf. The schedule for the next 7 days is: Thursday, July 3rd: KLUTE (1971) Friday, July 4th: ON GOLDEN POND (1982) Saturday, July 5th: THE COWBOYS (1972) Sunday, July 6th: THE ALAMO (1960) Monday, July 7th: SANDS OF IWO JIMA (1950) Tuesday, July 8th: WAKE OF THE RED WITCH (1949) Wednesday, July 9th: D.O.A. (1950) Tomorrow we hit the rewind button, zip past Keifer Sutherland's teen years, childhood, infancy, past his mom's pregnancy and follow his daddy's sperm back inside his body… Well, not literally, but the connection is we're jumping from Keifer to Donald, hitting 1971's thriller KLUTE starring Sutherland, Jane Fonda and the late, great Roy Scheider. -Quint firstname.lastname@example.com

That Having Been Handled . . .
by kevinwillis.net
Quint, I can't believe you've never seen Flashback! And I can't believe that, having never seen it, you decided to go ahead and watch it. Certainly there are some better movies you haven't seen you could have watched instead.

Like Flashdance, for instance. Have you seen that? If not, you need to fill that gap right away.
July 2, 2008, 4:54 p.m. CST
by Quint
Yes, I have seen Flashdance. That gap needn't be filled. I didn't promise every movie on my list was grade A cinema. I got plenty of that, too. It's good to cover all my bases, though, hit every genre... and hell... I like Keifer Sutherland and Dennis Hopper. Why wouldn't I want to see them work together?

Thanks to this article/feature by Quint, I saw Hole in the Head. It is a wonderful film. And when the boy meets his version of Marilyn Monroe I almost cried.
Thanks also for posting the previous movies at the end of this article. It was fun to go back and see what you had written. My Netflix Queue is way behind your list, so I'll be going back to previous reviews as they arrive.

The nineties were pretty dire times for the movies in my opinion. The music industry was certainly better off in the nineties than now, if for hip hop alone, but I'm not sure about the film industry. Of course there are always good movies but for me the nineties was the apex of the cookie cutter studio blockbuster/prestige picture. I think the rise of independent filmmakers like Tarantino/Soderbergh/P.T.Anderson/Fincher etc. gave way to what we have today, ie. directors like Nolan getting huge studio movies like Batman instead of Joel Schumacher. I kind of look at the nineties as the necessary growth period to get to the 00s. I mean if I had to choose between the best films of the nineties and the best films of 05-08 alone I'd probably take the latter. Of course, this is all just conjecture and these things are cyclical. I kind of liken the crest we are riding that started in the mid-nineties to the effect that films like Easy Rider and Bonnie and Clyde had in the sixties, not that I can speak knowledgeably about it since I wasn't alive, but a bunch of maverick types came along and broke all the rules and shattered all the formulas and laid down new ones. And we got a good chunk of the best films ever made during the 70s as a result. I'm quite sure none of this makes actual sense, but let me ramble dammit.

The 90's made the 50's look like the 60's for personal freedom
by Yamato
PC thugs everywhere. Went to university from 92-97. Ug! Anti-freedom of expression! My university was filled with either Lisa Simpsons (PC Thugs) or young neo-cons. No sense of humor, everything was taken seriously. Feminism was replaced by man hating neo-feminism. The 90's fucking sucked!

90s,00s, and more
by psychedelic
On a personal level, the 90s were a brutal assault on several fronts. That basically continued until early 2004. Musically, it's no fucking contest. 90s music kicks the asses of both the 80s and 00s. Movies: I'll take 90s indie movies over this decade's Hollywood. I think this decade is far worse for cookie cutter studio crap. Yes, 2007 was the best movie year since 1999 and the big tent pole flicks this summer are much better than usual. (Albeit, there are a number I haven't seen yet. I've been really busy.) Generally speaking, you've had to search for the really good movies this decade. They haven't been at multiplexes. South Korea, Asia, and the more fringe indie movies— ones that don't get Independent Spirit Awards attention— are where it's at this decade. I hope between the internet and new technologies that a giant rip is torn in pop culture allowing all kinds of cool vibrant music and movies to emerge.
 As for personal freedoms, I want to be around for the massive orgy when the cure for AIDS is discovered. Wouldn't it be nice if it happened in the next year? I can dream, can't I?

It's a fun film...
by Sledge Hammer
...and that's all it was ever supposed to be. It seems that way too many motherfuckers seem to forget that sometimes being fun is enough, especially if that's all you set out to be in the first place. Not every film needs to significant, or be a work of art, or a cinematic mindfuck, or whatever. There is a place for all brands of cinema, and the only thing that matters is if they achieved what they set out to be or not. That's the ultimate measuring stick. Flashback just wanted to be a fun bit of hokum, and from memory (though I haven't seen it in years) it was. End of story.

Cannot wait until Sands of Iwo Jima
by ArcadianDS
It is one of my favorite films, and one of the few original movie poster prints that I shelled out cash for.
 autographed, no less.
 Yeah its campy 'rescripted western in WW2' stuff, but it tries to tell a version of that horrifically bloody battle much in the way that the Greeks retold stories of the fall of Troy and the fall of the Spartans - those were horribly bloody and savage events, but in the retelling, they're transformed into heroic epics that display the greatest of human achievement. Thats what Sands of Iwo Jima tries to do: retell a very grisly and nightmarish event in a way to pay homage to those who went through it - to glorify in sanitized technicolor, the savagery and butchery they endured to take that tiny but important scrap of sand.
 You're just going to love it, Quint. Love it.
July 3, 2008, 12:33 p.m. CST
Arcadian, who autographed your poster?
by jim
I remember liking Flashback. Saw it when it first came out in video may years ago. It's the chemistry between Keifer Sutherland and Dennis Hopper that makes it work. Not as well done as Midnight Run, but still a decent odd-couple buddy road movie.

Preferred Another World
by Jedibobster
You JUST beat me to the obscure Amiga game reference there johnnylawless. Anyhoo, as for the film I rented this in it's first month or so from my video shop. I watched it for the second time the very next day. It was then years before I caught it again (it's never shown on TV here - in the UK) and it was pretty much how I remembered it. I still enjoyed it. I own the soundtrack and even convined others to see under the guise of a 24 prequel (hey it WAS Kiefer going after Hopper. A similar device can be used to trick people to watch Renegades - hey is that going to be on your list QUINT?) Anyway, I very much like the part when they're watching the films of lil Sutherland at the hippy commune, and the use of the song 'People Get Ready' as the train pulls off. And B.A.D.'s Free at the end is great too.

Skyway Moaters
by Gwai Lo
I think you're talking to me, not Mr. Sinister. Right after what you quoted I said "Of course there are always good movies". You named some. Personally a lot of the stuff on your list wouldn't make mine (Dogma, Sleepy Hollow, Get Shorty, The Sixth Sense, bunches more.) But different strokes I guess. To your 95 list I'd add Casino, Dead Man, La Haine, Welcome to the Dollhouse, others. To your 99 list I'd add American Movie, Audition, Fight Club, Ghost Dog, Magnolia, Mr. Death, Office Space, Ravenous, others. The nineties had tons of great films. Goodfellas, Miller's Crossing, Terminator 2, Silence of the Lambs, The Indian Runner, JFK, Unforgiven, Schindler's List, Dazed and Confused, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, I'm just going to stop here because I've only skimmed the first couple years of the nineties and I could go on and on. There will always be good films. And as I mentioned above the nineties birthed some of the most important filmmakers working today, like any decade of course. But my point is that the nineties were pretty shitty on a whole. Action movies were big gimmicky formula vehicles for stars or shitty effects. Remember disaster films? God, it got to the point that we got two shitty volcano movies at the same time. So many of the nineties blockbusters are basically unwatchable today because of their lousy effects, which ran the risk of replacing story altogether for a while. The nineties killed Star Wars, slowly and painfully. Schumacher's Batman movies sum up everything I hate about nineties blockbusters. Moving on, horror movies were dead for half of the decade and then when Scream came along the second half of nineties horror became increasingly inferior rip-offs of Scream. The same thing effectively happened to the thriller genre with Seven. Nineties movies were full of terrible "alternative" music. Everything was gaudier in the nineties. Anyway, there's only so long I can ramble here, I just think that the studios were less willing to take chances on the types of films that you and I have named than they are today.

Wait a sec on bashing 90s action movies
by JackRabbitSlim
Do you think the 1990s invented the "Action movies were big gimmicky formula vehicles for stars or shitty effects. Remember disaster films?" Um, hello, "Airport"? "The Towering Inferno"? The disaster film you described was born in the almighty 70s? Why do the people who kiss 70s films ass (and some of them deserve to be smooched) conveniently forget by far the biggest star of the mid to late 1970s was Burt Reynolds? That fucking "Benji" and the ultrashitty "Billy Jack" were mega hits. Lets not put the rosecolored glasses on for the past...
July 3, 2008, 6:02 p.m. CST
And let me add my voice to the praise for Quint
by JackRabbitSlim
Congratulations on making the 1 month anniversary and here's to many many more. And don't listen to the self-appointed "cineastes" who bemoan your supposed lack of encyclopedic knowledge of all things film - truth be told we all have films we're ashamed we havent seen - one of mine being - well - Klute, coming up. As for the accusation that you see dreck, some of my most treasured films were ones i bought or rented simply by taking chances and feel lucky to have uncovered little gems like "The Offence", which I'd argue was easily Sean Connery's greatest acting perf, or "Last Exit to Brooklyn", great nihilist outlook, or even "Paradise", shamelessly flaunting Phoebe Cates luscious tits. Kudos to you, sir, kudos to you.
July 3, 2008, 6:20 p.m. CST
Hey, JackRabbitSlim...
by Sledge Hammer
Connery is even better in The Hill. Check it out some time if you haven't already, fantastic film. But his best ever performance, or my favourite at the very least, was in The Man Who Would Be King, opposite the equally "never-been-better" Michael Caine. Every fan of quality cinema owes it to themselves to see those two.
July 3, 2008, 11:27 p.m. CST
Thanks Quint. Now I have to see "It".

by pr1c3y
Excellent nuff said. This film has a lot of sentimental value to me so to me it can do no wrong I'm just happy somebody else recognised it. It's like Nothing To Lose although not as good; one of those little buddy movies that slipped under the radar as years went on.

The Church continues to thrive through the gifts of generous people like you who return to the Lord a part of what they have received from Him, using your gifts and talents for the benefit of God's people. As you answer the call to volunteer your time and your talents, The Rockford Diocese can help you live out the Gospel's challenge to be a good steward of what you have by helping you find the parish or diocesan organization that needs your help, along with helping you adopt a stewardship way of life.
The people of the Diocese of Rockford say "Thank You" for answering the call to give of yourself in the service of God's Church.
You are invited to visit the Office of Stewardship Development which helps Catholics with:
- Your Stewardship to the Diocese
- Your stewardship to your parish, and
- Your planned giving.
1Peter 4: 10, 11b "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace. ...whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever."

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) (Booth S10339a) will unveil a new logo and tagline—'Always advancing' —that reflect the 110-year-old organization's continuing evolution as a global authority on designing, building, maintaining, and repairing concrete structures. The organization's first major identity update in 50 years, the image and text emphasize ACI's commitment to advancing knowledge, technology, construction, and quality as well as collaboration and professional growth.
"The new logo reflects diversity of ACI's specialization," says President Anne Ellis. "The new tagline reflects the work we do individually and collaboratively in support of concrete quality and professional growth."
Together, the two elements provide the foundation for consistent messaging across all organizational communications. ACI has been developing consensus-based standards since 1904.
Concrete contractors and artists will unveil a newly placed 15-foot replica of ACI's logo in a pervious concrete slab on today at 11 a.m., near Paradise Rd. entrance in the Gold Lot. Using color-matched glass aggregate and supplemental cementitious materials fly ash and silica fume, the pervious concrete slab will feature a larger-than-life representation of the new logo.
And later, a reception from 3-5 p.m., Booth S10339, ACI will officially launch its new logo and tagline. Join ACI leadership, members, supporters, and staff in celebrating this milestone. Complimentary desserts will be available.
