Just as real estate professionals have their mantra, "location, location, location," when describing the properties that are valued most, restaurateurs have their own dictum for success: "staff, staff, staff." Without a committed, hardworking staff, even the best of fine establishments will falter. And it's no secret that dissatisfied or dishonest employees, prima donnas, and incompetent managers can and do wreak havoc in both the back and front of the house.
Too many wine buyers approach the buying process without a concrete plan in place. Buying decisions are often made on a whim, driven by supplier, score, or perhaps sommelier ego. To make the buying process more objective, I created a concept that I call "list mapping."
Despite an interest of specialty cocktails in restaurants, there are probably a few lonely bottles of timeless aperitifs on your backbar that haven't been touched in months.

Nick Miele programs the holiday lights and music display at Odyssey Fun World in Tinley Park on Dec. 5, 2012. | Mike Nolan~Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 18, 2013 6:03AM
It's Christmastime, "Gangnam Style," in Tinley Park.
While the monster hit doesn't rank up there with the more traditional holiday faves, it's on the play list at Odyssey Fun World, 19111 S. Oak Park Ave., where every night a massive light display is set to music. The display made its debut last year, and has gotten even larger this year, said Clint Paraday, Odyssey Fun World's general manager.
Strung along the north side of the building, facing Oak Park Avenue, the lights are easily seen by traffic passing nearby on Harlem Avenue. Paraday said he's unsure whether it will generate business for Odyssey, but could attract the curious.
Not including the bill from ComEd, the display cost $15,000, Paraday said.
"There's the big mall (Brookside Marketplace) across the street and maybe people will drive by to see it (the display)," he said. "It's not something we are looking for a big return on."
Synching the lights and music is Nick Miele, who would annually deck his Batavia home with thousands of lights. When his imagination got too big and his house too small, he approached Paraday last year in search of a bigger canvas to work with. Miele helps manage a haunted house at Odyssey's Naperville location, Paraday said.
The Tinley Park building is about 350 feet long and 40 feet high, and while nobody really took the time to count them all, Paraday estimates the number of lights is well north of 200,000. A crew of six, including Miele, began stringing lights in early November, and vertical strands of lights are spaced a foot apart.
The show starts at 5:30 p.m. each day and ends at 11:30. If you don't want to get out of your car to hear the music, a short-range transmitter enables visitors to hear the tunes on their radio, at 87.9-FM.
'Make people happy'
There are 17 songs in the display, including "Frosty the Snowman" and "Sleigh Ride," and a few Top 40 tunes such as "What Makes You Beautiful," by One Direction, Taylor Swift's "We Will Never Get Back Together" and "Gangnam Style."
Making the lights move to the music is no easy task, with Miele sitting at a computer for six to eight hours to program a single song. A computer program shows a grid with thousands of tiny squares, with each square representing a single light.
Miele has to designate when a particular light goes on or off, almost like a computer-controlled light switch, so even for a song lasting just a couple of minutes it's an arduous job.
Still, he views it as a labor of love.
"I do it for the entertainment," Miele said. "I do it to make people happy."
Once he's finished programming a song, a simulated image of the building's exterior, displayed on his computer, allows Miele to see what that particular display looks like.
Along with more lights, other additions to the building this year include a handmade lighted "Grinch" face and poles wrapped with Christmas lights, Paraday said.
During October, the center opens Odyssey Fun Farm, which incorporates a corn maze, pumpkin patch and other fall-themed activities in a field directly north of the building. Next year, Paraday said, he wants to add more lights, wrapping the display around the building's east side, and to make it cross-seasonal by incorporating lights and music tied to Halloween for visitors to the Fun Farm.
"This is nothing," Paraday said of the light show. "Nick has lots of ideas."

File 4 December 1972 J. K. Allen cc W. Bourret E. C. DeMoss Hugh Douglas Mexican Government Bonds currently held by Utah Construction I have been corresponding with a U. S. lawyer regarding a copper pros-pect south of El Paso in Mexico. The Mexican owner of the property has indicated that should any foreign companies participate in explora-tion, development and (presumably) eventual exploitation of the deposit, that the coat of foreign participation might be made in the form of Mexican government bonds. In light of the above, could you advise the status of any Mexican government bonds held by Utah. I understand that we were paid partially in bends for construction work performed several years ago. What type of bonds are they? are they in default? has interest baas paid? Any information you have would be helpful in assessing the prospect. I should add that Utah's management has advised Wes and me that the company at this time has no interest in Mexico. Our interest may change with further study. Information on our bonds will help in evaluating the mining industry in Mexico. Hugh Douglas HD/nam

Oral History Program Phyllis Cannon Wattis Interviewed by John Sillito 18 June 2001 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Phyllis Cannon Wattis Interviewed by John Sillito 18 June 2001 Copyright © 2011 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. Oral History Project was created to capture the memories of individuals associated with the company. Several of the interviewees are family and relatives, others are personalities involved with Utah Construction Company/Utah International Inc. and some of the company's prominent figures. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted by John Sillito of Weber State University, in Mrs. Wattis' home in San Francisco, on June 18, 2001. Mrs. Wattis married Paul Lyman Wattis in 1934 and in the interview she discusses her experiences with the Wattis family and Utah Construction/Utah International. JS: This is an oral history interview with Mrs. Phyllis Wattis. It is being conducted in her home in San Francisco, California, on Monday, June 18, 2001. Mrs. Wattis, will you tell me a little about your early life? Where were you born and who were your parents? PW: I was born in Salt Lake City and I grew up there. I went to the University of Utah for a couple of years, and then I transferred to the University of California. I got my degree at Berkeley. JS: What year was that? PW: It was 1928, I believe. JS: And what was your maiden name? PW: My maiden name was Cannon. My father was Willard Cannon. JS: And your mother's name? PW: My mother's name was Carolyn. Carolyn Cannon. JS: I see. And you went to high school in Salt Lake? PW: I went to East Side High School and then the University of Utah before I transferred to the University of California. JS: Why did you decide to go to Berkeley? 2 PW: Who knows? I wanted a change of scene, I think. I mean, I spent all my life in Salt Lake, and I really wanted to study in Europe. That was out of the question, so the compromise was that I could come here for school. I enjoyed it. JS: What did you major in? PW: My major was economics. JS: Were there a lot of social activities at Berkeley in those years? PW: Oh, there were a lot. It was a much smaller school then. The total enrollment was about 10,000, which was predominantly male, I think. JS: And did you live in Berkeley? PW: Yes, I lived in Berkeley. We did a lot of commuting to San Francisco by ferryboat. I loved San Francisco. I thought San Francisco was the most glamorous, wonderful place in the world. JS: It still is. PW: Yes, I feel that way about it. JS: Tell me how and when you met your husband. PW: We were often at the same parties. He lived in Ogden—I mean his family—but the families went back and forth to parties in Salt Lake. That's how I met Pat. Then we married. Nothing spectacular. His father died just about a month before we planned to be married, so we scaled down the wedding. It was quite small. After the wedding, we lived in Ogden for a couple of years. At that time, the headquarters of the company was based there, but then they moved it. They were working on the Boulder Dam and the preliminary work was being done 3 here. Actually, I think Pat's father was the president when died; before that, W.H. Wattis had been president. They both died in office. JS: What was your husband's full name? PW: Paul Lyman Wattis. JS: And his father's name was? PW: Edmund O., but they called him E.O. They called the other brother W.H. JS: Did you know your husband's father before his death? PW: I knew him. Actually, I was staying at the house when he died—the night he died. But I didn't know him well. I mean, I met him because I was engaged to Pat. I went up there and had dinner often, and our families met, but he was out of town a great deal; he was spending a lot of time in San Francisco. JS: When did you get married? PW: We got married in 1934—in Salt Lake at my family's house. JS: When did you move to San Francisco? PW: We moved to San Francisco in 1936 because my husband was working for the company when they changed headquarters. I don't know just exactly what his position was. He was treasurer or secretary. Anyway, he was on the board, so when the company moved, we moved here to San Francisco. JS: Was the move related to the Boulder Dam Project? PW: Well, the Boulder Dam Project was one of the things that was going on, and possibly the biggest thing that they were engaged in by then. I think the Wattis brothers also had the railroad business and the big ranch in Nevada where they raised mules. They built a lot of railroads. You know the company history? 4 JS: A little bit. PW: And my husband had been sent down to work on the railroad in Guadalajara, Mexico. He'd been sent down as a young student to work on the project. JS: So he'd been really involved with the company since he was a young man. PW: Yes. JS: Was that true with his siblings as well? PW: He had one brother who died, and one brother, Ray, who was in business for himself. Pat was the only brother in the family business. JS: And what about W.H. Wattis? Was his family quite involved in the business? PW: Well, they were involved, but then there was a great falling-out. I didn't know much about it. It was among the elders of the family and I was just a new member; I didn't know all the background of it. But I know that we didn't ever see very much of the W.H. family. W.H. didn't have any sons, he just had daughters: Mary and Stella. JS: It must have been a big step when the company moved headquarters to San Francisco. PW: Oh, it was. They had branch offices in the Crocker Bank, so it was just a matter of moving the operations. Boulder Dam was at the beginning stage. When Pat and I were married, we went from Ogden to Los Angeles on our honeymoon. He had a couple of sisters that lived there. We went down to Boulder Dam and that was part of our trip. They let us stay a few days in one of the big houses that they had for entertaining VIPs. 5 That was when I really became interested in Boulder Dam because they took me all around and showed me how it was being built and what was going to happen. At that time, they were just assembling their materials. I was fascinated with it, and I saw the progress many times through its completion. I walked around those strips that separated the squares when they were pouring the concrete. I went down to the floor of the canyon in that skiff that they used for pouring concrete. I rode up the face of the dam on the open elevator. I thought it was a wonderful experience. JS: It sounds like a wonderful experience. I gather they were working almost twenty-four hours a day on those projects. PW: Oh, yes, they had a very tight schedule. There were six companies involved. JS: Right. Did you socialize or travel with others who were part of Utah Construction but who weren't family? PW: Yes, I don't know that I did many trips with them, but I knew all of them. They had company parties. I always went to those. I entertained many of them in my home and some of the Bechtels became friendly with some of the associates, too. In fact, I got to know the Bechtels quite well. JS: Did you? PW: They were all associated with the Shasta Dam, too, and with the big one up in Seattle. We went up to that; it was the one that Henry Kaiser was interested in. So yes, it went as far as socializing. I knew them all and we went to some of the same parties. 6 JS: My sense of the company in the pre-1950 period is that it was pretty small in terms of the number of people, but then it grew dramatically. Is that accurate? PW: After the dam was finished the war came in; that diverted a lot of interest in things. Each of the six companies had, even during the Boulder Dam construction, developed other individual things. Kaiser went into shipbuilding; Bechtel went into the oil industry with the Arabian countries and then urban planning; Morrison-Knudsen was one of the companies based in Boise, Idaho, and they became an international company of their own. Utah diverged from construction into mining properties. JS: It was a big step when Utah Construction went into mining. PW: While they were engaged in the dam construction, they had acquired mining and lumber properties. I think that the first big thing they developed after Boulder Dam was in Peru. They changed the name of the company from Utah Construction to Utah Construction and Mining. Then they sold off a lot of the mining property. They were really an international company involved in all sorts of things all over the world, so later it became Utah International. JS: Were you able to travel to some of the places where the company was involved? PW: I did a lot of traveling, yes. I've been all over Australia to see the company's projects. And all over Peru. JS: When the company merged with General Electric, that must have been a major event in a lot of ways. 7 PW: It was, but it was after my husband died. I'm sorry, I don't know much about it. It was actually a merger—a real merger with an exchange of stock. My husband died in 1971 and I think the merger was in 1976. JS: So your husband worked for Utah Construction all of his life. PW: Oh yes. His role changed slightly after we moved down here. He was given not so much of the construction, but was handling the insurance end of it, instead. JS: I see. You mentioned his father died right before you got married, but his mother lived quite a while, didn't she? PW: Yes, she lived for several years after he died. She remained in Ogden. Her name was Martha Bybee. It was a very close-knit family. JS: Because it was such a close-knit family, the family was still involved with the company in many ways after it merged with GE. That must have been a major change. PW: It was a major change because it was not spun off as a separate company. It was actually a merger. I think GE wanted some of those properties that Utah had, which were later spun off and developed into Broken Hill and some of the Australian companies. Utah still retained a presence there. JS: One person whose name is always associated with Utah International is Ed Littlefield. What sort of a person is Ed? PW: Well, Ed Littlefield changed the company. Ed had gone into the government when the war was declared. I don't know if he was actually in the army, but he was in Washington. JS: In the government? 8 PW: Yes, as assistant to one of the big men in the government. He'd graduated from Stanford Business School and when he first came back, he went to work for the Golden State Dairy. After that, he was asked to come into Utah and he used some of the expertise that he had picked up at the business school. He was a major force in consolidating all the disparate parts of the company. JS: He's a Wattis through his mother, right? PW: His name was Edmund Wattis Littlefield. His mother was Mrs. Marguerite Wattis Littlefield. He used to go by the name of Wattis Littlefield; it was too hard to pronounce, so he went by Ed. He's a wonderful man. JS: Are there other memories or information that you feel that are important that I haven't asked you? PW: Utah has done many things. I think the most dramatic is the Boulder Dam, but there were others that were equally important. Then, of course, they lost the Utah identity because they became associated with other companies like Broken Hills in Australia. And Bechtel has gone on...Bechtel and Utah have had a lot of close associations. JS: It's amazing when you think about that company starting in Ogden, and then all it accomplished in seventy-five years or so. PW: It is amazing. But even when they were in Ogden, they were always doing things. They were doing important railroad work all through the West, and in Mexico, and they were laying the groundwork for other things that came later. JS: They had a major impact here in San Francisco. They were involved in lots of construction here and over in the East Bay. 9 PW: And so were their associates, the Bechtels particularly. The three companies— Utah, Bechtel, and Kaiser—all had a major impact on the San Francisco Bay Area. JS: Thank you, Mrs. Wattis.

Okay, a bit of an exaggeration, but the new description page really opened my eyes to just how thematic this dial was with a simple phrase: "just like in the movies." I hadn't really thought about the Rebels racing against the clock until I read that part of the description. Let's look at some examples of the Rebels racing against time in the movies.
A New Hope:
Rescue the princess before she's executed.
Destroy the death star before it clears the planet.
The Empire Strikes Back:
Evacuate Echo Base before the Imperials overrun it.
Get the hyperdrive fixed before getting captured.
Rescue Han from the Bounty Hunter before he gets away.
Return of the Jedi:
Destroy the death star before it's operational.
Destroy the shield generator before the fleet arrives.
That's not really as extensive of a list as I was expecting, but the point is that they made it sound much more thematic than I ever gave it credit for, and I think it could really work if I just gave it a chance . . . if.

Summer is the season for dining out. On steamy Southwest Florida evenings, who wants to hang over a hot stove? Even a fabulous outdoor kitchen positioned next to an azure pool can't summon the reluctant chef. And, best of all, we have our restaurants to ourselves!
Last year, a friend's summer holiday plans fell apart at the last minute. Rather than scrambling to put together an alternative, she and her husband stayed put and enjoyed a different restaurant every night, just as if they were traveling. She didn't turn on her dishwasher for an entire week. If I were to use a similar strategy, I might start at the Island Time Grill.
The newest addition to the retail center at University Parkway and Cooper Creek, the Island Time Grill was a mob scene from the moment it opened this season until the cars started heading north. Folks got wind that the Caribbean-themed eatery was populated with employees from the ill-fated Summerhouse Restaurant, and diners followed in droves. I don't know exactly how many former employees of the Siesta Key favorite are employed at Island Time, but I do know that a very important one, chef Dave McConaghy, is in the kitchen and creating some exciting food.
Take the salmon, obligatory on any menu these days. McConaghy sautés his with pine nuts, cranberries and green onions-an interesting combination of tastes and textures. The coup de grace is the accompanying polenta, cooked with pistachio nuts that elevate this dish from cooked corn grits to an elegant and delicious side dish.
A similar transformation raises the rainbow trout from so-so to sublime. This mild-mannered fish is usually prepared to emphasize its sweetness, ergo the appearance of almonds or a simple sauté in butter. McConaghy takes the plunge and sautés the trout in olive oil, topping it with a rich and sumptuous Madeira sauce.
The preparation of the Chilean sea bass is appealing, too. Wild mushrooms and ginger make an out-of-the-ordinary couple, especially in a ménage à trios with a more docile partner like the sea bass. But it works.
Lest you think that Island Time Grill is a fish house, a full selection of meat and poultry awaits. We sampled the lamb chops and found the lamb prepared rare as ordered and the mélange of herbs in the sauce appealing. The filet of beef with a fresh sage sauce almost captured my order, but we'll save that for a return visit. Price-wise, entrées clocked in around the high teens and low $20s.
Actually, a substantial meal could be concocted from the appetizer list, ranging in price from $5 to $10. I liked the ubiquitous crab cakes, because they're different here. The succulent crabmeat is rolled into a shape more akin to a small ball than a cake-bite-sized for sure-and deep-fried in the style of the Chesapeake. The remoulade sauce is killer.
Salads are a staple for summer dining, and Island Time Grill offers both tossed and composed ones. A refreshing version, called "heart," combines hearts of palm, artichoke hearts, asparagus and baby greens. The Greek salad introduces slices of lamb to the usual mix, and the spinach salad features a bit of prosciutto.
Owners Bruce and Evan Dawson moved here from New York, where Bruce was chief operating officer of Dean and Delucca's, and aren't afraid to make a design statement. The walls are a brilliant teal blue, softened a bit by the polished wood floors. Plantation shutters and artwork create a mellow tropical ambiance. A flat-screen monitor on the wall behind the bar offers a "window" to a view of waves washing up on the sandy beach. Sand is also incorporated into the bar, creating the illusion of bellying up to a sandbar. All of these could be trademark elements if the restaurant concept became a chain. Mum's the word on that rumor, although Dawson Enterprises is scheduled to open another restaurant across University, in the new shopping center anchored by the Super Target.
In the meantime, enjoy Island Time Grill, either the restaurant or the bar (which has a casual, burger-dominated menu), or the outdoor patio, where either menu is available.

FAR EAST ARRIVALS In the 15 years I've called Sarasota home, downtown has never been a destination for Asian food. I'm happy to report that has changed. Main Street now sports two new good Asian restaurants within a block of each other, and on recent visits, both were robustly busy.
Taste of Asia, in the 1500 block of Main, is multicultural. Elements of Thai, Vietnamese and Laotian cuisines are deliciously mingled in the intimate restaurant, decorated on a modest scale with some lovely Asian artwork, including the symbol of the business, the three-headed elephant.
The appetizers are wonderful. The satay is authentically Thai, with the chicken marinated in spices and coconut milk before roasting. The accompanying peanut sauce is sweet with a flash of heat cooled by the cucumber salad. The fresh spring rolls are delightful as well, with sprigs of mint hidden in the vermicelli and shrimp.
A meal is easily made with a salad and soup, and you can choose from at least a half-dozen of each. We devoured the Yum duck, which features strips of fried duck with plenty of succulent meat under the crispy skin. Tom Yum Goong is a hot and sour soup redolent with lemon grass and with lots of pieces of mushroom and shrimp floating in the broth.
In all, close to 100 different dishes are served at Taste of Asia. They include a full complement of noodle soups or pho, vermicelli or rice noodles known as bun, plus a number of entrée specialties (I loved the panang curry). The owners also offer the golden banana coin dessert, a fried banana rolled in sesame seeds and served with honey. It's a must-have.

HELLO, VIETNAM Just east of Taste of Asia is Pho Cali, which takes its name from the noodle soup that's a staple in Vietnam. The close proximity in geography and style of food has created a natural comparison between the two, and each now has its allies and detractors. (First we had none, now we have rivals!)
But the truth is the two are quite different in scale and focus. Pho Cali has a larger space, a big room accommodating a range of seating arrangements, and it's devoted exclusively to Vietnamese dishes. As with Taste of Asia, you'll find multitudes of items from which to choose. We began with the pancake appetizer, banh xeo tom thjt, a mix of shrimp, pork and vegetables folded into a rice-flour pancake. This is very large and extremely good. It's also very popular. Personally, I go for the crispy eggroll appetizers, which should be eaten with a sprig of fresh coriander and dipped in fish sauce.
The noodles are the thing here-you can hardly go wrong with any of the pho. This traditional Vietnamese soup is really not a soup, but a bowl of noodles cooked in a beef, chicken or fish stock that gets its character from the meat and vegetables added. It's all good.
Like pho, bun relies on gelatinous rice noodles, without the liquid in the dish. There's more emphasis on the vegetables and seasonings-mint, coriander and cucumber as a side relish add a freshness that's the essence of Vietnamese cooking for me. My favorite here is No. 78, or bun tom nurong, thjt nurong, cha gio. It includes both shrimp and pork, although sometimes the pork can be a bit greasy.
Pho Cali gets busy, and service ebbs and flows with the crowds. But there's hardly a friendlier place in town, regardless of the intensity of the house. Wine and beer are available at both places, and both restaurants are modestly priced.

What I'm Drinking
A Down-Under discovery
Australian shiraz in summer? Yes, indeed-it's winter in Australia. The 2003 vintages of shiraz are just now coming into the market, and they're spicy, but not bitingly so. They show an appealing berry characteristic and taste wonderful with grilled foods or a plate of cheeses. Look for The Penfolds Shiraz Koonunga Hill ($12 to $14) or the Greg Norman Estates Limestone Coast Shiraz ($16 to $18). I'm sure glad Greg took up wines, where he's a pretty consistent winner.

Where can I get a taste of European café life without leaving home this summer?
Look no further than the new 100 Central building, where Pino's has relocated from its former habitat at the end of Main Street. While it seemed that Main and Gulfstream was a perfect locale, this one is even better. From an outdoor café table at Pino's, you can admire lovely Five Points Park, the fanciful Selby Library and a continual stream of luxury vehicles in the turnout at the condo building. Pino's prix-fixe lunch is only $12, and that includes a soup or salad, entrée and the most delicious bread-for $12! We feasted on a cream of broccoli soup and amazing warm rosemary bread. Then the salad di mare arrived, fabulously appointed with mussels, littleneck clams, scallops, shrimp and tender calamari. My girlfriend indulged in a crab cake and pronounced it "all crab, no filler." If anything, it needed more bread crumbs to give it some stability, but the taste is, as they say in Pino's native Capri, molto bene!

These Sagebrush Company metal fly traps used in agriculture, food processing, livestock operations, waste management, horse ranches, recreation, and home. This trap is a significant step up from the standard Sagebrush Metal Fly Trap! The addition of a bottom screen acts as a lid over the bucket, keeping the liquid bait free from drowning flies, is a real time and bait saver. The traps are of the cone style type or modifications of this basic design. The operation of these traps is a simple process.
In mountainous regions good results catching flies have been observed baiting with salami peels, spoiled shrimp, and canned mackerel. Yellowjackets (sometimes called meat bees) are an easy catch when baiting with meat scraps, chicken bones, or cat food.
Catching flies in the presence of horses or livestock usually requires using commercial baits, such as our Fly Trap Bait. Commercial baits may need to be replaced every 4-6 weeks or so depending on the climate. Baits work best when moist because water mixed with a bait concentrate can produce a large vapor plume. A breezy location also helps draw vapors through the Exclusion Screen.
The Exclusion Screen forms a cover for the bucket to keep the flies out of the bait. Even though the flies cannot access the bait, the smell attracts them to the trap. It can also be placed on the ground over a bait and loose soil can be piled up around the edge of the trap to seal the flies out.

Considered as one of the most influential science fiction films ever, it was also the most expensive film from the silent era. It gives a futuristic look at the schism created in mankind as industrialization and technological advancement serves to alienate the humans from one another.

Abandoned by their families to lives of penury, marked by the white veils which they wear, Bengali widows find solace and food in the ashrams of Vrindavan where they gather every morning and evening to sing religious songs. In this profoundly moving documentary on widowhood portrayed both as social institution and personal tradition, moments of astonishing sensuous beauty alternate with rhythms of anguish. In the best of the new ethnographic tradition, 'Moksha' de-centres the voices of authority and allows a plurality of voices to introduce contesting positions. Haunting in its evocation of grief and anger, the film transcends documentary and assumes its place in the great tradition of lamentation, the expression of the dark night of the human soul.2011 -

The Marx brothers' duck soup is widely considered as the slapstick team's masterwork. A madcap script which is mockingly surreal, it is the chronicle of a war fever that swallows up the imaginary nation of Fredonia when Groucho becomes its dictator.

Devoid of cynicism of post-modern dramas, this heart-warming film tells the story of nine year old Ali, who loses his sister Zahra's newly repaired shoes. Frightened to tell their parents the truth, they devise a plan to share one pair of shoes between them.
Zahra wears them to school early morning, and then runs to meet Ali who wears them to his later classes. A very simple premise, its just the basis for what can be called as one of the most deceptively powerful films of recent times. Nominated for Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film cemented Iranian maestro Majid Majidi's place in world cinema.2011 -

Marcello is a writer whose work lies somewhere between journalism and celebrity gossip.He spends his evenings partying with the people he writes about, the movie stars and aristocrats of Rome. He has a fiancée, but he isn't faithful to her. His life explores his dissatisfaction in his work and his loves, ultimately a reflection on where one finds - or fails to find - meaning in life. One of the most widely seen European films ever, La Dolce Vita marked the split between Fellini's earlier neo-realist films and his later art films.

With utmost honesty spilled on screen, this is the perfect example of a film made on films. Acknowledged as a highly influential classic, the film frequently pops up in countless lists of best films ever made.2011 -
Director : David Lean
In this classic British drama, Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson) is a housewife whose marriage is not everything she desires it to be. When she meets Dr. Alec (Harvey) in a cafe at the railway station, their chance meeting turns into a full-blown love affair. He also has a wife and family, and is leaving the country, so their affair, while potent, is indeed, brief.2011 -
Director: William Wyler
The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) is an American drama film about three servicemen trying to piece their lives back together after coming home from World War II. Samuel Golwyn was motivated to produce the film after his wife Frances read an article in Time magazine about the difficulties experienced by war veterans returning to civilian life. Goldwyn hired former war correspondent MacKinlay Kantor to write the story, which was first published as a novella. Glory for Me, which was written in black verse, Robert Sherwood then wrote the screenplay. It was directed by William Wyler, with cinematography by Gregg Toland. The film won seven Academy Awards. It features Harold Russell, a U.S.Army instructor who had last both his hands in a training accident.2011 -
Director: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
A group of Anglo-Catholic nuns open a school and a hospital in an isolated Himalayan valley. As they face a series of obstacles from the villagers and a hostile environment, tensions begin to grow. In Michael Powell's own view, this film (starring Deborah Kerr, Sabu, Jean Simmons, David Farrar and Flora Robson) was the most erotic film he ever made.2011 -
Director: JEAN RENOIR
Jean Renoir's 'free exercise around an actor' has Michel Simon playing the Calibanesque Boudu, a Parisian tramp who is rescued by the bourgeoisie book seller Monsieur Lestingois after a failed attempt at drowning in the Siene. Lestingois along with his wife Emma and servant Anne-Marie, are shaken by his derelict manner until they successfully drive out the beast in him. Arguably Renoir's most important work from his first phase and testimony to the greatness of his vision, Boudu Saved From Drowning is fresh for audience and critical reassessment.2011 -
Director: Jean Cocteau
A half- ruined merchant lives in the country with his son Ludovic and his three daughters. Two of the daughters, Felicre and Adelaide, are real shrews: selfish, pretentions, and evil. They exploit the third daughter. Belle, as a servant, One day, on a business trip, on the way from, the merchant gets last in a forest and enters a strange castle. He picks up a rose for belle, and the castle's appears. He is a monster, half-human, half-beast, and possesses magic powers. He sentences the merchant to death, unless he gives up one of his daughters. Belle sacrifices herself for her father and goes for the castle, discovering that the Beast is not so wild and inhuman as he seems.2011 -
Director: Sergei M. Eisenstein
Regarded as one of the most significant works in the history of silent pictures, as well as possibly Eisenstein's supreme work, Battleship Potemkin brought his theories of cinema art to the world in a powerful showcase; his emphasis on montage, his stress of intellectual contact, and his treatment of the mass instead of the individual as the protagonist. The film tells the story of the Russian ship Prince Potemkin where a horribly bloody mutiny took place during the 1905 uprising. Eisenstein signals this as the jumping off point for the revolution.2011 -
Director: MICHAEL POWELL & EMERIC PRESSBURGER
Flying back from a bombing raid over Germany, Squadron Leader Peter D. Carter (David Niven) is nursing a damaged plane. The crew, or that part of it left alive, has bailed out and only Peter is left -- with a shredded parachute. Knowing that death is near, Peter talks of life to June (Kim Hunter), the young radio operator trying to bring him in. Making the most of his last words, Peter prepares for eternity even as he celebrates the ephemeral. A connection born of extreme pressure forms between them; about to be separated forever, Peter and June fall in love. The twist comes when Conductor 71 (Marius Goring), a Heavenly emissary, makes a mistake; Peter survives his long plunge into the Channel.2011 -

And in the process begin a 'pilgrimage' which will lead each of them to self-discovery. One of Powell and Pressburger's most personal film, it puzzled critics and audiences alike on its release and has since come to be seen as one of their finest creations.2011 -

Considered as one of the most influential science fiction films ever, it was also the most expensive film from the silent era. It gives a futuristic look at the schism created in mankind as industrialization and technological advancement serves to alienate the humans from one another. Metropolis features special effects and set designs that still impress modern audiences with their visual impact – the film contains cinematic and thematic links to German Expressionism.2011 -

Is it possible that McGuire might be cinema's original final girl?2011 -
Director: William A. Wellman
In the 1930's, The public Enemy crystallized the theme of Little Caesar and delved even more deeply into the making of a gangster. Directed by William Wellman the film follows two young boys and their growth from shoplifters to hardened criminals. It stars James Cagney and Jean Harlow (whose role is minimal, yet billed on every poster). More coherent and focused than Little Caesar (it included dates to orient the audience when time passed); Public Enemy was also more violent, and helped to spur the cry for censorship.2011 -
Director: Stanley Kubrick
A veteran criminal Johnny Clay (Sterling Hayden), is planning one last big heist before settling down to a respectable marriage with Fay (Colleen Gray). Teaming with several cohorts, Johnny masterminds a racetrack robbery. The basic flaw is that all the crooks involved are losers and small-timers who find themselves in way over their heads despite
their supposed cleverness. None of the participants is more pathetic than George Peatty (Elisha Cook Jr.), who is goaded into the robbery by his covetous and far-from-faithful wife (Marie Windsor). As in a Greek tragedy, Johnny's best-laid schemes go awry.2011 -

Don Birnam, long-time alcoholic, has been "on the wagon" for ten days and seems to be over the worst; but his craving has just become more insidious. Evading a country weekend planned by his brother Wick and girlfriend Helen, he begins a four-day bender. In flashbacks we see past events, all gone wrong because of the bottle. But this bout looks like being his last...one way or the other.2011 -

Commissioned by Hitler, this is a documentary on 1934 Nazi party
convention in Nuremberg which glorified Hitler as the true leader who
will bring glory back to the nation and emphasized Germany as a great

The film is a satire of the conflict between art and commerce as well as the gap betweenthe privileged and the impoverished. It tells of the 'mission' of 'Sully' (Joel McCrea), a big-shot Hollywood director of lightweight comedies to experience suffering in the world before
producing his next about the common man. After some failed attempts dressed as a hobo and companionship on the road with an aspiring blonde actress simply called The Girl (Veronica
Lake) and wearing boy's clothes, he succeeds in losing his freedom, identity and name, health, pride and money. A classic comedy of the depression era, this is a must for Preston Sturges fans.2011 -

What is the best way to get ballpoint ink out of my clothes? gel pen ink? fountain pen ink? asked Sep 11 '11 at 16:59 |
Me, I just rub some Dawn dishwashing liquid on it, soak it for a day, and then wash it with Tide and Clorox 2. Sometimes it works. According to Laundry: The Home Comforts Book of Caring for Clothes & Linens by Cheryl Mendelson (my go-to book for this sort of thing) link answered Sep 13 '11 at 15:53 Courtney Ostaff |
Hairspray. Spray hairspray on it & then wash. Check before putting it in the dryer, but that should take care of it! linkanswered Sep 18 '11 at 21:48 Ctug |
If it's ballpoint or most other pen inks, try spraying it with hairspray and scrubbing it out—then you can treat with other stain removers and detergent. That's always worked for me, surprisingly enough. linkanswered Sep 18 '11 at 21:48 |
Soak the ink with hairspray. Cheap, stinky hairspray. Wash as usual. If it doesn't work the first time, repeat, but it will take the ink out. linkanswered Sep 18 '11 at 22:17 patb |
Two words "rubbing alcohol". That's why "hair spray" works, it's actually the alcohol. Had a nearly new dress shirt that went through the wash (and the dryer) with a ball point pen. I thought the shirt was ruined. After soaking it in rubbing alcohol (admittedly for several days), the spot was completely gone If you have a severe set in ink stain (like I had), you may need to add rubbing alcohol several times as it (of course) will evaporate linkanswered Oct 27 '11 at 19:04 CMAM |
I've had good luck on ballpoint ink stains with Inknix, which comes in a 2.5 inch applicator tube. The garment must be washed or dry-cleaned soon thereafter. It isn't sold on Amazon. Instead, what's sold is Amodex, which is claimed to remove all ink stains. $6.35 + $5.09 shipping. Costly--but not if it works. linkanswered Apr 11 '14 at 23:35 |

Thank you for your messages. I'm so glad that the pictures were well received. That's so nice that the sun made its appearance in your daughter's photos. There are messages from our loved ones in moments like that. I grew up in the little town (Glenolden) where Knowles Cemetery is located and my sisters and I would often stop by if we were at the park or the athletic fields. It's a very peaceful and serene place.

It's amazing to read the stories of people long gone. I believe all people, dead and alive have a story that needs to be told. I just lost someone very close to me on Tuesday. I made her a memorial and put a little something on it. I couldn't finish it because I started crying. But hopefully soon I'll be able to finish it. Her name is Darla Jean Monroe if you want to read what I have so far.

Consumer News Release
For immediate release -- June 30, 1999. Contact Bob Brammer - 515-281-6699
DES MOINES-- Attorney General Tom Miller said Wednesday that Iowa will receive it first installment of $76 million in tobacco payments no later than one year from today.
Following is a comment from Miller on the tobacco money:
Iowa's share of the nationwide tobacco settlement is $1,938,119,912, and the first installment of about $76 million will be delivered no later than June 30, 2000 -- one year from today. The funds will be available for appropriation by the General Assembly that convenes next January.
I believe we need to spend a significant share of the funds to prevent youth tobacco addiction and improve the health of all Iowans. We obtained the money because of the health problems caused by tobacco, and we should use a good part of it to solve them.
Most important, we need to use part of this money to keep our kids from becoming addicted to tobacco products. We can save lives, avoid pain and heartache, and save taxpayer dollars. Five thousand Iowans die every year from tobacco-related disease, and it is mostly young Iowans who are taking up smoking and replacing smokers who die.
We know that a comprehensive pro-health program works. It's already being proven in California, Massachusetts, Florida, Oregon, and Mississippi -- states that are tackling the issue on every front, from reducing sales to children to convincing kids that smoking is not cool. I've proposed a comprehensive program in the past, and I will do so again.
The clock is ticking. We have a tremendous opportunity to use some of this tobacco money to dramatically improve the health of our young people and all Iowans.

Food Network star Robert Irvine ("Restaurant: Impossible") has cooked up an unusual live show.
He will bring that event to the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet on April 20.
"Robert Irvine Live," the namesake's first theatrical tour, will incorporate challenges, audience interaction and video projection.
"This is not just me cooking on stage for two hours because that has been done before," Irvine said in an email.
"I wanted to do something totally different that makes cooking a vehicle for being able to create a theatrical event."
Preview performances found Irvine rappelling down balconies and being challenged to feed members of the audience with no knowledge of the ingredients while a timer counted down.
The show will be different at each location, and Irvine said he has chosen to remain in the dark about what challenges will be thrown at him each night.
"We basically have constructed a set list of cooking challenges, much like a rock band would put together a list of songs for the evening. The big difference is our 'lead singer' has no idea what that list will entail," producer Joshua Lingenfelter said.
"My job is to try every way I can to trip Robert up."
The show also will feature a host described as a "live and interactive computer-generated character" that can talk to Irvine and react to what he and the audience are doing.
Chef Robert Irvine goes where few chefs dare.
He is equally at home preparing his creative dishes for intimate gatherings or for huge crowds, from 6,000 servicemen and women on a U.S. aircraft carrier to a celebrity-studded after-party at the Academy Awards.
Irvine is the star of Food Network's "Dinner: Impossible," "Restaurant: Impossible" and "Worst Cooks in America" and the author of "Mission: Cook! My Life, My Recipes, and Making the Impossible Easy (HarperCollins).
He has prepared his culinary creations for the British royal family, heads of state and honored guests aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia and for high-ranking dignitaries, politicians and VIPs as part of the Guest Chef program at the White House.
Irvine also has made culinary creations as executive chef at Trump Taj Mahal Casino Hotel and across America on Irvine's hit Food Network series.
A native of England, Irvine joined the British Royal Navy as a teenager, where his skills in the kitchen soon came to the attention of his superiors.
In more than 25 years in the culinary profession, he has transcended the limitations of recipes and rote techniques with an approach to cooking that is his own.
In that time, Irvine literally has cooked his way across the globe, from Europe to the Far East, across the Caribbean and throughout the Americas.
In 2007, he was named both an ambassador of the Culinary Institute of America and one of the 25 fittest guys in America by Men's Fitness magazine.
The list also included professional basketball player Kobe Bryant, retired professional tennis player Andy Roddick and actor Matt Damon.
