Jonathan's Top Ten 2011
Jonathan shares some thoughts on his favourite films of the past twelve months
I love a good top ten list. Our own Marcus Doidge does a wonderful job of putting together one at the end of each year, and after getting his permission to shamelessly steal his neat format, I've thrown together one of my own. 2011 has had its fair share of disappointments with irrelevant sequels like Hangover Part II, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Cars 2. There were some lackluster blockbusters ( Cowboys and Aliens, Transformers: Dark of the Moon) and complete wastes of valuable intellectual property (what happened Green Lantern?).
While Hollywood was busy making loud sequels, cashing in on comic book franchises, and putting as many unnecessary 3D releases out as possible, independent filmmakers stepped up to tell fascinating stories and explore deep characterizations. Their films were the ones that really caught my attention in 2011. In the tradition of a top ten list, I have ranked the following titles, but you should know that there isn't much of a gap between my love for the #1 spot and the #10 spot. Let's get started, shall we?
Director Steve McQueen delivered an impressive directorial debut with 2008's Hunger; a film following Irish republican Bobby Sands who led the 1981 IRA Hunger Strike. It wasn't a perfect example of storytelling or character exploration, but it was virtually flawless on a technical level with it's precise cinematography and long takes that allowed his actor's raw performances to simmer. McQueen demonstrated that he wasn't afraid to show the ugliest aspects of the conflict with unflinching detail. The same things could be said for Shame, which re-teams McQueen with actor Michael Fassbender, but this time focusing on sex addiction. Fassbender plays Brandon, a bachelor who spends his free time at home (and as we learn, at work) indulging in sexual encounters with strangers and finding other means of sexual release. His lifestyle is threatened when his estranged sister, Cissy (Carey Mulligan), moves into his apartment against his wishes.
The plot could fit a teenage sex comedy: "A guy is trying to hook up with women, but then his sister shows up to live with him and shenanigans ensue!", but Shame couldn't be further from a comedy. Despite a few choice instances of dark humour, this film feels closer in tone to something like Requiem for a Dream. It's clear from the start that Brandon, despite engaging in physical pleasures constantly, is incredibly unhappy. He does this to fill a void in his soul, running from normal relationships and sociable behavior. With the wrong approach and a less talented actor, this movie could've easily been a joke, but Fassbender is wholly convincing. I truly felt like I was watching a self-destructive man that could not control himself and was a complete slave to his urges. McQueen continues to show that he is a director worth watching.
The screenplay takes some detours that I feel didn't contribute much to the harrowing depiction at hand, and sometimes the score is way too cumbersome; leading to scenes that feel overwrought. But don't let that stop you from seeing Shame. The talent on display from Fassbender and McQueen deserves to be seen and appreciated for its raw power.
Shame is in theaters now.
I really don't care about baseball. Despite having played on many teams as a child, watching it just doesn't interest me in the slightest, so I was hesitant to go out and watch Moneyball. I was eventually pulled in by the glowing reviews, and felt silly for ever doubting Bennett Miller's ( Capote) directing and a collaborative screenplay from Steve Zaillian (who also wrote this years The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) and Aaron Sorkin ( The Social Network).
The story follows Oakland A'a general manager, Billy Beane (Brad Pitt). He's a man who has every reason in the world to doubt the effectiveness of scouts work, and he teams up with a young man (Jonah Hill) who believes that the entire drafting process for baseball should involve statistical analysis, while ignoring the player's image. They put together a team of undervalued players, getting as many statistical "runs" as they can for their meager budget.
The screenplay isn't interested in showing us extended footage of baseball games. Most of the baseball footage is taken straight from the actual games. The focus is very much on the off-field business of the sport, and although the plot follows this team throughout their fascinating season, the movie really belongs to Billy Beane as a character. This is a very heartfelt exploration of what drove Billy Beane to make some of the risky decisions that he did, and thanks to great writing and a memorable performance from Brad Pitt, I found myself rooting this character on.

Tomas Alfredson's take on Let the Right One In was easily one of 2008's best films. This time, working from an adaptation of a John le Carré novel, he tackles the spy thriller genre with an impossibly slick cast of British players. With Gary Oldman at the lead, and company like Mark Strong, John Hurt, Ciarán Hinds, Benedict Cumberbatch and Colin Firth, this movie was pretty much guaranteed my affection from the start. Luckily the film doesn't rest solely on their talents and also functions as a tense, paranoid investigative drama.
Those going into Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy should know it isn't the easiest movie to follow. Though everything eventually makes sense in the end, the screenplay seems to take delight in keeping details murky or taking roundabout methods to reveal information. As a result, the plot's payoff left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. But that's really the only qualm I have with it, and I feel like it will dissipate with repeated viewings. Alfredson's direction is absolutely brilliant. If you didn't know better, it'd be easy to assume this movie was lifted straight out of the 70's. It's drenched in the decade's aesthetics, in terms of both production and style. Colour is desaturated to help give it a bleak and aged appearance. From the impossibly pale faces of the "Circus" members to the foggy looking sets, every detail works to sustain an ominous tone, drenched in fear, that permeates throughout each scene and never lets up. In a business where screwing up means death, these characters are all looking out for themselves, and it's impossible to trust a single one of them. Even the lead, Mr.Smiley, whose very name sounds deceitful.
I have yet to read the John le Carré novel or watch the original television series of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but I imagine it had much more time to spend on character development. The film never feels rushed, but I'm sure some character details were lost from the runtime restriction. It's not a story of great emotional depth or shocking twists, but it's hard to beat the sustained atmosphere of dread and insane attention to details. There's also a very inspired use of Julio Iglesisas' 'La Mer' that I feel in love with. I have a good feeling this one is going to grow on me more and more with each viewing.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is in theaters now.
You'd be hard-pressed to find an actor working today better than George Clooney. He's proved himself time and again, and now he finds himself paired with Alexander Payne; the master of biting satire and mixing touching personal stories with awkwardly realistic humour. The two of them working together makes too much sense. I'm not sure why I hadn't imagined it before.
The Descendants follows a difficult chapter in the life of Matt King (Clooney). His wife, Elizabeth, has always been around to take care of their kids, but after a recent boating accident she is left in a coma. Suddenly he is having to step up and learn to be a parent to his troubled children in their time of need, and in the process he learns that his wife was having an affair with a real estate agent. They decide to travel around to tell relatives the news about Elizabeth while making a stop in Kauai to confront her secret lover.
Part of what makes Alexander Payne's films work so well is his willingness to revel in the awkward moments of life. The Descendants has plenty of those, and he approaches each one with startling humour and grace. He owes much of the success to Clooney, who arguably gives the best performance of his career (though I feel like I say that every time he stars in a drama). And he's not alone. Shailene Woodley, who plays his daughter Alexandra, is terrific. This was the first I'd ever seen of her, and she has the looks and the acting chops to be a star. Hopefully she'll continue to work with great storytellers. Payne doesn't fill the movie with the same razor sharp satire that is present in some of his other films, but the story of The Descendants doesn't call for that approach. His dark sense of humour is completely intact. There is a subplot involving Hawaiian heritage and legacy that never perfectly gels into the personal story at the foreground, but most of the story progresses in a very entertaining and involving way. I found my emotional responses ranging from debilitating laughter to fighting back tears. It's an impressive balancing act that Payne navigates with expertise.
The Descendants is in theaters now.
With Submarine, British funnyman Richard Ayoade makes his directorial debut, and the result left me praying it's not his last film. Set in a gloomy Wales, the story follows the precocious Oliver Tate, a young boy on the passage to adulthood who is trying to salvage his parent's flailing marriage while also maintaining a relationship of his own. Much like Wes Anderson, Ayoade pulls a lot of stylistic inspiration from the French New Wave era. The film is fueled by abundant charm and a very distinct sense of humour that knows how to be quirky and witty without being too precious.
You can read my full review of Submarine's US Blu-ray release here, or check out Marcus' take on the UK disc on this page.
There were a lot of great films in 2011 that didn't quite make my list, but are more than deserving of attention. Take Shelter was a great demonstration of Michael Shannon's acting talent. Martha Marcy May Marlene put Elisabeth Olsen on the map and may just get her an Oscar nomination, while Christopher Plummer is guaranteed a nomination for his performance in Mike Mill's sophomore film Beginners. Both Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Thor proved to be much better than their initial trailers suggested. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II was a great finale to a franchise my generation grew up with. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen proved to be a hilarious and heartwarming duo in 50/50. Kristen Wiig finally got a leading role that she deserved with Bridesmaids, and nailed it. Thomas McCarthy's third film, Win Win was a simple but well-told story with realized characters. Joe Wright created a strange and potent technical thriller with Hanna, and Attack the Block was a promising film debut from writer/television-director Joe Cornish.
Kim Jee-woon thrilled and disgusted me with the intense I Saw the Devil. Takashi Miike showed audiences that he can make an awesome samurai action movie with 13 Assassins (Marcus' UK DVD Review, Chris' UK Blu-ray Review). Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris and Scorsese's Hugo (both on my list at one point) are must-sees for lovers of art. While Pixar released their first critical flop, Rango (UK review), The Muppets, and Winnie the Pooh stepped up as the best family films of the year. James Gunn's low budget hero comedy Super (UK review) checked all the boxes for a great dark comedy, as did John Michael McDonagh's hilariously irreverent directorial debut, The Guard (UK release details). Cronenberg set aside extreme violence to tell a dialogue-driven story with great subtlety and finesse in A Dangerous Method, and Lars von Trier made an interesting exploration of the nature of depression and its destructive force in Melancholia. Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt gave wonderful performances in surprisingly mature and involving screenplay from Diablo Cody in Jason Reitman's Young Adult. The Help was way more enjoyable than I imagined, and Crazy, Stupid, Love turned me into a shameless sap and even made me laugh a good amount.
I have a feeling The Ides of March and maybe Warrior would get a mention too, but I slacked off and have not seen them yet. Back to the list!
Tree of Life is Terrance Malick's ambitious film that tackles broad subjects from the creation of the universe all the way to a personal story of a young boy and his relationship with his demanding father. It is most certainly not for everyone and sure to be hated by many, but fans of Malick's previous work will likely eat it up, as he uses the same meditative approach to the storytelling that populates his other films. If it's your cup of tea, this could be the film equivalent of nirvana.

Sometimes it's hard to talk your friends into watching an old black and white movie. It's even harder to get them into a silent movie. The Artist is a movie made earlier this year that fits both bills. It's a full-framed love letter to a bygone era of film making that's all too appealing in this time of high definition and 3D. I went in feeling a bit cynical, thinking this would just be a gimmicky movie that panders to the artful crowd and people who love old fashioned movies. On the surface I suppose that's what it is, but The Artist has a wealth of universal appeal that transcends the medium entirely. The soundtrack is also delightful and appropriately old fashioned.
The plot follows George Valentin (Jean Dujardin), a star of the silent movie era who begins to feel increasingly irrelevant with the arrival of talking pictures. In one of his last movies he works with Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo), a young woman who is bound for stardom. The two share a connection, but drift apart as her career blossoms and he spirals into depression. Bejo and Dujardin are absolutely flawless in this film. They carry the charisma and magnetism of the stars from the portrayed era. Since the movie features no dialogue, it relies heavily on expressions and exaggerated gestures to tell its story, and the two leads are completely up to the task. I really can't say enough about what a joy they are to watch. We'll be hearing a lot about this one with award season arriving. The Artist also features Uggie, the coolest dog of the year (a most prestigious accolade).
The Artist is in theaters now.
When David Fincher announced that he was directing an American version of Stieg Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, many fans of the book and the original Swedish film declared it an unnecessary remake. While I would echo their sentiments in many scenarios (take Let Me In for example), this was just too perfect of a marriage between a director and the material. I couldn't wait to see it, and the results did not disappoint.
Though the original plot line of the book is far from perfect, Fincher milks the story for all it's worth. This is a prime example of an average story being elevated by pitch-perfect direction. I had my doubts about Rooney Mara as Fincher's choice for Lisbeth Salander, but she proved to be equally as compelling as Noomi Rapace, while still unique in her own right. Fincher's gloomy, atmospheric visual style proved (as expected) to be a major asset to the story, while Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross strike gold once again with an original soundtrack.
Did I mention the incredibly awesome opening title sequence? A dark collage of oily, abstract images to the tune of Trent Reznor and Karen-O's take on Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song'. It almost felt like a cyberpunk Bond movie opening drenched in gothic angst. Make no mistake about it: whether you think it is necessary or not, this is the definitive version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I envy people experiencing this story for the first time through Fincher's vision and remarkable craftsmanship.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is in theaters now.
Though technically made in 2010, Poetry didn't see any type of normal distribution in the United States until February of this year, so I've decided to include it. Korean director Lee Chang-dong is a craftsman of the highest order. His characters face challenging existences where there are no easy answers and tidy solutions. Poetry is no exception to this.
Yun Jeong-hie gives a heartbreaking performance as Mija, a woman in her 60's who discovers that she is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. To help her keep her mind focused and sharp, she enrolls in a poetry class. Meanwhile, she discovers that the grandson who lives with her is involved in a terrible crime. It sounds like a recipe for a miserable viewing experience filled with melodrama, but it isn't. Chang-dong maintains a steady grip on how the drama unfolds; treating his characters with dignity and respect. This is a quiet and confidently told story about the depths of human empathy and learning to find beauty in the most mundane places, even when faced with dreadful circumstances.
I'd love to elaborate more, but it would be impossible without giving away some major plot developments. What I will say is that this film really got to me. I get goosebumps just thinking about it right now. Jeong-hie's gives what may be one of the best performances of any year, and the result shook me to my core without ever being emotionally manipulative.
Poetry is available on DVD/Blu-ray from Kino in the US and from Arrow in the UK.
There is something seriously infectious about Drive that I find difficult to place my finger on. Every component of the film works to create an irresistible vibe, so much that I returned to the theater four more times to revisit the feeling; bringing new friends along and feeling eager to hear their thoughts on it. The restrained yet confident direction from European art house filmmaker, Nicolas Winding Refn, makes for a potent mixture with a deliciously 80's-inspired soundtrack filled with addictive synth.
Ryan Gosling's silent but intense lead character is an interesting beast. He reminded me very much of Lee Byung-hun's leading man in the Korean film A Bittersweet Life. Aside from being outrageously cool both men never open up about themselves for a second or carry on a conversation for more than a couple languid exchanges, and both men get involved in simple relationships with young women that become the center of their entire existence. Many have criticized the leisurely pace of the dialogue between the driver and Irene (Carey Mulligan), but to have them open up to each other so readily would be a complete contradiction to the characters. Their relationship isn't about conversation or getting to know every detail about one another. They see each other as a ticket to a simple, comfortable existence. That comfort is threatened when Irene's husband returns home and the driver becomes involved with a group of criminals. One such criminal is Bernie Rose, played by Albert Brooks in an unusual role for him. He is scary good, and deserves every bit of the Oscar buzz surrounding him. After a deal goes bad and the driver ends up with money that doesn't belong to him, things really get intense.
Drive appears to be a very polarizing experience among audience members, and with good reason. If you boil the plot and script down to its basic elements, you don't anything particularly interesting or new. It thrives on nuance and meticulous attention to detail. This is a director's film, and Refn can either pull you into the vortex of this violent world or put you to sleep his vision. Personally, I'm still trapped in it. And the experience has proved to be just as electrifying with every subsequent viewing.
You can find news on the upcoming US DVD/Blu-ray release of Drive here.
So that's where I'm at for 2011 as of right now. My opinions on movies tend to fluctuate over time, and there are still a few promising titles from this year I haven't seen yet ( Tintin, A Separation, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and Carnage all look promising), so who knows how I will rank all of these a week from now. If you made it this far, thanks for reading! Please feel free to share your thoughts and post your own top 10 lists. Let me know if there's a good one I missed. I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season and get a lot of new titles for the home collections!

I hope to watch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy this weekend. Agreed on Drive- it's a slow burn that stays with you. I still like the Swedish version The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo even though the Fincher version is better directed.
Sad to say that I haven't seen any of the movies on the list, save for Tree of Life - not even the honourable mentions! It has been that kind of a year.
Tree of Life is the second Malick movie I have seen, besides The Thin Red Line. I really loved the movie - much more than The Thin Red Line.
I hope to catch Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy sometime this week.

This was my first time through, and I found it to be a well-acted, well-directed version of a story that would've fit right in as a mid-90s mediocre Silence of the Lambs wannabe. Plot holes and lazy plotting all over the place.

Oh great, another one of those "you're one of those 'swearing is immature' people" people..... For the rest of us in the general populous using curse words is frowned upon still. Accept it or dont, wont change the way things are.
Out of order? I forget how sensitive most of you people are sitting there behind your keyboards. Its criticism, funny enough my words dont actually reach out from the screen and strike him. If he can't take it, any better than the rest of you who it was not directed at least, then thats his problem.

Oh great, you're one of those 'swearing is immature' people. Your original post was out of order. There was no need to cast aspersions the way you did.
Its not really about liking the book as much as I did. I don't like the movie "A Clock Work Orange", yet as someone who watches more than my fair share of movies I am able to see the quality of Kubric's piece. Now Jonathan is generally rather veracious in his reviews, and someone capable of looking at something for its quality without enjoying it. Its not baseless, just an observation I made when reading your post. I guess it stung though. Los siento.....
Now Gabe, does it not feel odd to lash out with curse words in the same sentence that you are asking someone to grow up in? Just saying.

Redherring, I don't think you understand fine cuisine very well. You probably only like food that can be ordered off of a fast food menu. Very sad.
Baseless assumptions are fun! Sorry I didn't like the book as much as you did

Hey redherring, grow the f**k up an leave the insults somewhere else. It's fine to disagree and educate us with your opinion, but there's no need for personal attacks and mean spirited assumptions about Jonathan's reading habits.
Now i know this is an opinion of yours but what you say about The Girl with the dragon tattoo annoys me. The director does an ecelent job of recreating Stiegs first book, but to give that much credit to the director for pulling a great movie from a far from perfect story line is silly. The book won an anthony award. I am lead to believe, from your comment that you are less than an avid novel reader, not acustom to european styles of writing where this brand of sexual political drama is popular. Like most people anymore you probaly don't read anything without pictures. Very sad. It is your opinion, but its a far from educated one.

Ha. I've seen one of those, and it was the one I watched before I sent it to you to review. I do have Tree of Life sitting here.
My number one is Tree of Life. There's just nothing else like it. It's more than a film.
Great Top 10 there Jonathan! I so need to see The Descendants SOON!!

Other than reports that the Android 4.3 update has improved performance on the Nexus 7, Google seems to have addressed the performance degradation issue as well. "It appears that Google has fixed the performance degradation problem with the Nexus 7 by finally adding TRIM support in Android 4.3 (which also applies to all devices that have been upgraded, though I never had any performance issues with my Nexus 4), as noticed by Brian Klug at Anandtech. This means, in theory, that performance on the device should remain usable, even as time goes on and I continue to use my tablet to do all of the things it was designed for. I'll be watching it closely (and probably be very vocal about it if performance drops off a cliff as it did before), but I actually have a usable tablet once again, and I didn't have to shell out upwards of $200 again to get there." My Nexus 7 feels like new now that I've wiped my custom ROM and installed stock 4.3. I'm skeptical about whether or not Google has managed to solve the performance loss over time though, since it seems to be caused by low-quality NAND, and not by software.

Microsoft suffered a stunning defeat on Monday when a European Union court backed a European Commission ruling that the US software giant illegally abused its market power to crush competitors. The European Union's second-highest court dismissed the company's appeal on all substantive points of the 2004 antitrustruling. The court said Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, was unjustified in tying new applications to its Windows operating system in a way that harmed consumer choice. The verdict, which may be appealed only on points of law and not of fact, could force Microsoft to change its business practices.

If San Fransisco comes out and lays an egg against Arizona, GB wins in Minnesota, and we take care of business against St. Louis, we'll have won the division, but end up as the 3 seed. (GB has 4 losses)
This would set up a first round matchup against whoever the merry-go-round that is the 6th seed settles on (Dallas, Washington, Chicago, NYG) at the CLink. That sounds fantastic until we march the troops into the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. GB is hitting their stride just like we are, and to say they have a bone to pick would be the understatement of the year.
I'll take my chances with @WAS/DAL > @ATL to get to the NFC championship game over a home game vs. DAL/WAS/CHI/NYG > @GB.
Neither the Skins or Cowboys scare me at home, on the road, or in Toronto, and I'll take Atlanta in a dome over GB in ~10 Farenheit.

The Morehouse Parish police jury voted to lease a grater to work on northern parish roads in extreme disrepair.
While District 4 Juror Jack Cockrell argued the jury did not have the funds to pay for another grater, District 1 Juror Floyd Tomboli said they couldn't afford not to.
"We have farmers using these roads due to bridges being out on main roads and there is no way they can bring equipment down roads like Dummy Line," Tomboli said. "Mark [Sistrunk, District 3 Juror] and myself, along with Gene [Montgomery, Road Superintendent] road the Dummy line, Zaunbrecher, and Holly Ridge Rd. among others and they are horrible."
"I was bounced around so much I'm still not over it," Sistrunk added.
The discussion led to a past decision jurors had made in regards to removing roads from the parish system.
"I think that we should do both," Jason Crockett, District 5 Juror said. "We have to improve these roads, and as this is happening, we need to take a look at those we could take out of the system and begin that process."
In a vote of 4 to 1, with Cockrell voting against, a motion to lease a grater passed.
The jury also voted to hire a secretary in the solid waste department to be over the renting and leasing of dumpsters.
"The leasing of dumpsters has really taken off and I think its going to be too much to put on on the personnel already working," Sistrunk said.
Sistrunk also noted how well the solid waste department is working.
"I think the citizens of the parish will be happy to know that we paid the final notes on the garbage trucks last week," Sistrunk said. "We now own all the trucks."
Other items on the agenda included lowering the speed limit on Bayou Drive. Cockrell recommended lowering from 35 to 30, which passed.
Cockrell also made a motion to remove Jack Morgan Road from the system, as the sole home owner asked for it to be closed to the public. This motion also passed.
The jury passed a motion for the Morehouse Parish Health Unit to purchase a floor buffer, using their funds from Parker Paper.
Damien Bollich was named to the 10th Ward Fire Department, replacing long-time member Derl Johnson

Ashley Manor Royal Court
to benefit animal shelter
Ashley Manor Care Center in Boonville is continuing its Valentine's King and Queen Royal Court tradition with votes paid for (25 cents each) by family and community members. This year the money will benefit the Boonville Animal Shelter. Voting has commenced and will end on February 14.
The Royal Court candidates this year include Barbara Kissler, Erla Mae Lacy, Edith Moffitt, Veronica O'Bryan, Edris Shay, Emma Smith, Helen Smith, Wilbur Graff, Vernon Howard, Wayne Kempf, Harold Kraus, Earl O'Bryan, Steve Schuster and Hillard Smith.
The two people chosen as King and Queen will represent Ashley Manor throughout the year in such events like the Heritage Days parade.
The Royal Court has been an Ashley Manor tradition for almost 20 years but recently the money raised has been going towards helping organizations within the community. In the past organizations such as the Boonslick Senior Center, the Salvation Army and the Missouri Heart Association have benefited from large donations from this event.
Money for votes can be brought in person where people will get to see the residents. Votes can be sent on a separate piece of paper in the mail with checks or money orders made out to the Boonville Animal Shelter.
This year Activity Director Velma Lang is excited about helping the animals of the Boonville area.
"We will be pleased with any donation anyone wants to give for the animals of our area," Lang said.
On February 14 the crowning will occur with a celebration of Valentines cake and punch while the 2013 Duke and Duchess, Prince and Princess and King and Queen are crowned.

(NewsUSA) – Every conversation is challenging. Words are muffled and heard only indistinctly. They are forced to ask people to repeat themselves, and in many cases try to fake their way through a conversation. This is the world of the hard-of-hearing.
According to the Hearing Loss Association of America, about 20 percent or 48 million people report some degree of hearing loss. While face-to-face interaction is difficult at best, telephone conversations can be the stuff of nightmares.
"I went to the VA, and I found out that the problems I have with my hearing were caused partially through the explosions [from the war]," says World War II veteran Don Pullan, 89, of Salt Lake City, Utah. "It was difficult to have a simple conversation with my two daughters over the phone."
While hearing aids do an "excellent job of helping people meet many of their communication needs," sometimes more is needed," adds Dr. Sergei Kochkin, a board member and executive director of the Better Hearing Institute in Washington, D.C.
"There are situations where additional assistive listening devices are needed," he says. "Some hearing aid users continue to experience difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments, such as in a restaurant, from a distance, or while listening on the telephone."
To this end, one company is helping to break the silence for those who have trouble hearing.
Salt Lake City-based CaptionCall created a new telephone that allows hard-of-hearing users to follow conversations on their phone much like they would closed-captioning television.
CaptionCall uses voice recognition technology and a transcription service to display written captions of what callers say on a large screen. The service is provided free to all qualified individuals as a result of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Customers make and receive calls as they always have. All that is required to use CaptionCall is a high-speed Internet connection, a standard home phone line and medically recognized hearing loss.
"Every day … we're providing a better way to improve communication for hard-of-hearing people," says Pat Nola, president and CEO of the company. "It improves people's lives in a significant way."
Pullan agrees.
"[CaptionCall] has been absolutely wonderful," he says. "It connects me with everybody for everything. It really does. It's beautiful."

WATCH: Eric Metaxes Inspires at 2017 Family Foundation Gala
WATCH: Eric Metaxes Inspires at 2017 Family Foundation Gala
As promised, I wanted you to get the video LINK to The Family Foundation's 2017 Gala program. If you weren't there, bestselling author and radio commentator Eric Metaxes kept the attendees of the packed convention room hanging on his every word, and I wanted to make sure you had the chance to see it for yourself. And if you were with us that evening, you're probably interested in watching it again. Either way, please SHARE THIS with your friends and family.
You can watch it at your convenience HERE on our YouTube page. (Note: My speech begins at 29:48, and Eric's speech begins at 1:03:02) Also check out our 3-minute promotional video first aired at the Gala, featuring the stories of three incredible Virginians.
Metaxes released his latest book, Martin Luther, the same week as the Gala, so he gave us an inspiring message about the true story of one man who, by his bold courage and faith in God, changed the world forever. Eric Metaxes is the author of several other best-selling books, including Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, If You Can Keep It, and Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery just to name a few.
You will definitely be encouraged by his timely and insightful message to people of faith in an ever-darkening culture.
I also want you to have the chance to hear from me as well, as I spoke about the value and importance of ordinary people "stepping up" in often small but hugely impactful ways. I also share my vision and sense of renewed purpose for The Family Foundation in the challenging years ahead.
If you weren't able to join us, you will definitely want to watch it now. I hope you will be enlightened, encouraged, and inspired by what you see and hear.
Note to ACLU: Join Us!
Note to ACLU: Join Us!
It's good when organizations that often find themselves on opposite sides can work together. At The Family Foundation, we've sought opportunities to join coalitions of diverse groups on important issues that shouldn't be partisan. That's why we've worked with groups like the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and others on ending the shackling of pregnant prison inmates, and with similar coalitions on financial reparations for victims of eugenics, foster and kinship care issues and others.
So we were thrilled the other day when we saw that the ACLU agrees with The Family Foundation when it comes to following laws regarding the creation and removal of regulations. You see, the federal government has to follow the federal Administrative Procedure Act and Virginia government has to follow the state Administrative Process Act. These laws, as boring and cumbersome as they are, ensure that presidents and governors – or the entities tasked with regulations – cannot act unfettered. It's a rule of law thing.
Recently we learned that the ACLU is suing President Trump for his decision to undo a requirement that religious entities pay for their employees' birth control under the ACA. One of the arguments they are making is that the Trump administration violated the federal Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because they allege the interim rules were released without complying with the APA's notice and public comment requirements.
Coincidentally, that is exactly the argument being made by plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the McAuliffe administration, partially funded by The Family Foundation, after McAuliffe's Board of Health failed to comply with the state's APA on not just public comment requirements, but multiple other provisions as well, as it watered down health and safety standards for abortion centers. You see, following the law kinda matters, or at least it should.
Yet, to this point, the ACLU of Virginia has been strangely silent on the McAuliffe administration's blatant violation of the law, while the ACLU national headquarters has already filed suit against Trump – though whether or not the Trump administration actually did violate APA is a matter of great question.
I'll go on record now to say if President Trump violated the federal APA, his policy decision should be reversed and put through the proper legal channels. You see, it shouldn't matter who the executive is or if you agree or disagree with the ultimate policy in question. The law should be followed to get to the desired end. Given the ACLU's history of, well, let's just say less than accurate legal arguments, I'm not super confident that their case against the President has merit, but time will tell.
I can tell you that there is no question the McAuliffe administration violated the law, numerous times. So, it would seem, if the rule of law matters to the ACLU as much as they claim, they should be joining our lawsuit any day now.
We'll keep you posted.

The Boonville boys and girls track teams may not be the flashiest of teams this season, nor will they have an abundance of talent up and down the lineup. But what the Pirates and Lady Pirates will have for the 2013 season is a group of athletes willing to work hard and eager to learn.
Although Mother Nature has been less than kind to the Boonville track team this season with only a hand full of days on the track, the time spent inside has allowed head coaches Steve Smith and Melissa Baker a chance to teach the athletes proper technique in not only running but also stretching.
If the weather permits, the Boonville boys and girls will get their first real test of the 2013 season on Tuesday, March 26th in the Moberly Quad starting at 4 p.m.
With 21 girls suited out for the upcoming season, 10 of which are returning from last year, Baker said the Lady Pirates will have a young track team but will also have a couple of strong upperclassmen leaders who are returning lettermen as well.
"As a coach it is exciting when you get a large group of freshmen who are eager to learn and work hard," Baker said. "There is a lot of enthusiasm right now on the girls team and that is exciting. Overcoming injuries and working through aches and pains is always a challenge during the track season. That is what it is so important for our athletes to warm up properly and take care of their bodies. We have had some difficulty training due to the inclement weather, but we are progressing as a team nicely. The girls are starting to come together as a team which should benefit our relays. I am excited to get the first couple of track meets underway to see what we have specifically and what we need to do and work on to be at our peak during conference, districts, sectionals and state."
The Boonville Lady Pirates will find out soon enough where they stand in the North Central Missouri Conference. After Friday's Cooper County Relays, the Lady Pirates will compete in the Moberly Quad on Tuesday, March 26th.
Of course when speaking of the NCMC, Baker said Hannibal was the 2012 champs and will look to defend its title. She also mentioned Kirksville and Mexico as two teams who are always very competitive as well in the conference.
"We finished fourth last year to those other three strong schools," Baker said. "I know if our girls stay strong and healthy by conference time we can give those schools some tough competition in several events. Our goal is to be competitive at each meet and continue to grow individually as a team."
Of course with youth also comes enthusiasm, which the Lady Pirates appear to have a lot of this season. Baker list youth and enthusiasm as strengths along with the desire to learn and compete. She said with a young team it is hard to say specific strengths, but the athletes have heart and that is what it will take to be a strong competitor during the season.
As far as weaknesses on the team this spring, Baker said she is hoping not being able to get on the track until last week won't have much of an effect, but we did get on the track late due to snow days and having a snow covered track. Therefore, she said, practicing some of the individuals events might be a couple of weeks behind as in comparison to other years.
Baker also commented on several goals for the upcoming season. She said the most important thing is for the girls to continue to grow as individual athletes. "I want the girls to continue to learn more about each individual events and what it takes to prepare to be successful," Baker said. "I also want them to get a better grasp of how a team works in track and field and enjoy the grind. It is fun to train and push your body to reach goals. Last year I had three athletes make it to sectionals. I would like that number to be larger and also get a relay team or two to sectionals. I would also love to have some athletes make it to the state meet."
With so many young athletes on the team this season, Baker will try to blend some of the old with the new. Returning this season for the Lady Pirates to help fill the void left by graduation last year are juniors Chloe Clinton, Savannah Burnett, Devin Ellebracht and Raven Stone and sophomores Addyson Reardon and Holly Krumm.
Clinton returns after qualifying for sectionals in the 200-meter dash last year with a personal best time of 27.59 seconds. The junior standout also ran a season's best time of 1:04.19 while competing in the 400-meter dash.
As for Burnett, she will attempt to break her personal best as well this season in the high jump at 4'-10". Baker said her goal for Burnett is to surpass 5'-0" in the high jump.
Another returning junior who is looking to improve on her times from last year is Devin Ellebracht in the 800-meter run. While turning in a season's best time of 2:39.30 in the 800 in 2012, Baker said Ellebracht is working hard this season to shed some time off of last year's times.
Raven Stone also returns in the shotput this season for the Lady Pirates. Baker said she will lean on Stone and Samantha Masterson to score points in the throwing events this season.
Meanwhile, in the hurdles, Addyson Reardon will team up with freshman standout Millie Moyer to give the Lady Pirates a great one-two punch in the 100 and 300 hurdles. A sectional qualifier last year and school record holder in the 100 hurdles with a personal best time of 16.48 seconds, Baker said she would like to see Reardon run in the 15's this spring. "I am looking for Millie Moyer to be a fierce competitor in the hurdles as well," Baker said. "I also have her penciled in to run sprints and relays and compete in the triple jump."
Sarah Ellebracht will also be looked at to score points in the pole vault. While returning for her second season in the pole vault, Baker said she would like to see Ellebracht top the 8'-0" mark.
Other athletes that Baker will count on this season are two soccer players in senior Bailey Pfeiffer and sophomore Holly Krumm. Baker said Pfeiffer will compete in the 100-meter dash while Krumm will look to improve on her personal best time of 6:26.41 in the 1600-meter run.
Joining Krumm in distance events this season for the Lady Pirates are Patience Dorman and Hannah Spaedy. In the 100, 200 and 400-meter dashes, Baker will look to Sadee Haaheim, Jessica Luscombe, Havyn Monteer, Sydnee Poindexter, Kyra Price, Kaleigh Schaefer and Michelle Surratt.
Surratt will also compete in the 300 hurdles while Poindexter and Sophia Widel will battle Stone and Masterson in the throwing events. Making a push in the jumping events, meanwhile, are Britney Hughes and Kaleigh Schaefer.
Schaefer, who competed in four events last spring for the LSE girls track team, turned in a time of 12.81 in the 100-meter dash and 4'-10" in the high jump. The freshman standout also anchored both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200-meter relays for the Lady Hawks.
Another standout at LSE last year was Moyer, who turned in a personal best time of 13.92 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles and 33'-4" in the triple jump.
Like the Boonville Lady Pirates track team, the Boonville boys track team will be young with only two seniors out for the 2013 season.
With 17 athletes suited up for the spring season, the Pirates will open Friday's Cooper County Relays with only six returning lettermen.
"I am optimistic because we have six kids returning who are capable of scoring points on top of our quality freshmen class," Smith said. "There will be some events where we will score in events where we haven't scored in the past."
Smith also sees the conference as being stronger from top to bottom this season. He said the usuals such as Hannibal, Moberly and Mexico will be strong again in the NCMC.
"Our goal is to do the best we can and improve on where we finished last year, which was fifth," stated Smith. "However, our numbers will keep us from reaching the top half of the conference."
With just two seniors making up the team this season, Smith said the six juniors have been in the program for the last three years so the majority of them have a good chance of improving to the point where they are able to qualify out of districts.
As for the weaknesses this season, Smith said depth is the biggest thing that will cause the team problems down the line. He said not being able to have two competitors in each events will also hurt the teams chances in meets.
"Individually we just want to improve on our personal best," Smith said. "Team-wise we want to improve on our relays. If we do that the team points will come."
Smith is definitely looking for the Pirates to score well this season in the long jump and high jump. And why not? After all, Smith does return junior Nathan Jones in both events. While finishing fifth in conference last year in he high jump, Jones also set a personal best with a leap of 5'-10". Meanwhile, in the triple jump, Jones placed third in conference with a personal best jump of 40'-2" and fifth in districts. Freshman Brandon Ford will also look to give the Pirates depth in the triple jump after setting a personal best last spring at LSE with a leap of 34'-1". Ford also ran the opening leg last year for LSE in the 4 x 200 and competed in both the long jump, where he had a personal best of 16'-2", and hurdles in a time of 16.72 seconds.
The future is also bright for J.T. Washington, who competed in the 100 (12.28), 200 (25.88), long jump (17'-5") and 4 x 200 for the LSE Hawks in 2012.
In the throwing events, junior Grady Kay will look to improve on his throws in the shotput and discus. Smith said Kay had a personal best throw of 37'-10" in the shot last spring and 100'-9" in the discus.
Others who will compete in the shotput and discus are senior Jashon Hockaday and junior Brett Kenney.
"I really expect Grady to make a big jump in both the shotput and discus this year," Smith said.
In the pole vault, senior Blake Saling will return after setting a personal best last year with a vault of 9'-0". Freshman Braydon Johnson will also get a long look in the pole vault.
"We don't have a lot of depth in the jumping or throwing events so we might have to move other kids in those spots as the season progresses," Smith said.
Of course depth shouldn't be a problem for the Pirates in the sprints. Competing in the 100 and 200-meter dash are juniors Kenan Johnson and Dakota Meyer, sophomore Austin Hinkle and freshmen Brandon Ford and J.T. Washington.
Johnson, Meyer and Jones will also compete in the 400-meter dash along with freshman Jordan Weaver. Smith said Jones set a personal best in the 400 last year in a time of 55.51 seconds.
In the 800-meter run, junior Rory Concannon returns along with Saling with personal best times of 2:26 and 2:28, respectively. Freshmen Jason Broyhill and Brian Hagen will also compete in the 800 this season, Smith said.
The list is long as well in the 1600 and 3200-meter run, where Concannon will join freshmen Brett Murray, Jason Broyhill and Brian Hagen. Concannon, the veteran of the group, returns after setting a personal best time of 5:10 in the 1600 and 11:29 in the 3200. "Rory has really worked hard in the off-season," Smith said, "so I expect to see him really improve his times."
In the hurdles, Dakota Meyer returns after placing third in conference in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles and fifth in the 110-meter high hurdles. Smith said Meyer set a personal best time of 18.13 in the 110 highs in the Chillicothe Relays and had his best time of 43.96 seconds in the Boonville Invitational last year.
Smith said he will also try Brandon Ford and Nathan Jones in the hurdles this season.
As for the relays, Smith said they will be mixed and matched. "We will play with the relays as we go," Smith said. "We are just now working on exchanges, so it will take some time."
Boonville track teams are eager to learn and work hard
The Boonville boys and girls track teams may not be the flashiest of teams this season, nor will they have an abundance of talent up and down the lineup. But what the Pirates and Lady Pirates will have for the 2013 season is a group of athletes willing to work hard and eager to learn.

DENVER A Westminster man has been sentenced to six years in federal prison, plus three years of supervised release, for his role in mortgage fraud involving homes in The Broadlands subdivision in Broomfield.
Prosecutors said Friday that Steven J. Mascarenas was ordered to pay restitution of about $1.7 million.
Mascarenas pleaded guilty in July to wire fraud, lying to a pretrial services officer, and escaping from a halfway house.
Co-defendant Katrina Roberts was sentenced earlier to 20 months in prison. Mascarenas' wife, Kathy, received a two-year sentence.
Court documents say Steven Mascarenas arranged for purchases of homes, had Roberts appraise them at overinflated values, then arranged for the homes to be resold to borrowers who falsified their information to get full financing. The borrowers later defaulted. Lenders lost about $1.7 million.

"yawn"....poor at best
Anyone has a subtitle file?
Just press the cc
All my vidoza links have subs
the end is the beginning - and indeed it is for NOTHIING will prepare you for that ending.
there were subs for me, but it only played for 2 mins then froze!!!
Says subtitles but there are none!
They sure are playing fast and loose with the source material now.
THIS ENTIRE SEASON NEEDS LINKS. Many of the episodes have no working links on this site or on WatchSeries.to. I keep trying to report the broken links but this site isn't processing the reports for many of them.
I had Vidzi links. They play the porno ads but then the episodes never load on my computer or my Playstation. Why do people even bother posting these. Do they work for anyone???
ooooh the end

Someone have a link to share ? Thank's
The ending...WHAT THE....? early Norwegian death metal (without the metal) ?
I expected something MUCH better from the series. The filming & music were okay, but the pacing was just BAD. Episode 3 is an example of PREMATURE REVELATION; after it, the remaining 7 episodes were padded, had no real horror or even suspense, and ended with artsy ambiguity. Overall, a 6--an example of filming a weak earlier work of a famous writer. And Martin and the cast actually seem proud of this big MEH...
it has been a LONG time since we've seen 'the Seer'. Oh Ivar....I dont thnik things end well for you.
that ending...

What happened to Family Guy. This site isn't showing new episodes like it used to. Also the status says "Ended", you know it's still on the air, right?
#Strangers is unquestionably a roller coaster ride of plot lines. The interesting twists don't start taking place until the second or third episode, which is another way of saying that the first episode is somewhat ill-represented of what is to come; the premiere is setting up what is to come of a strange man, in a strange city, dealing with a horrific situation. What First starts out looking like a straightforward narrative, becomes twisted, unlike any other movie, or tv show, I can remember having watched. The further you delve into this #BritishSeries, the more twists and turns develop into new situations, leaving heaps of evidence in its wake. What makes this series great is the #FilmingLocations, such as #HongKong #Macau and #London #GreatBritain, in addition to the exceptional acting, most of whom are not well known actors, although very well-trained, with the exception of master of all things British, #JohnSimm. If you watch this show, put yourself in his shoes, being in a country with laws unlike your home country, dealing with red-tape, looking for answers, and not only having nobody to rely on, but finding out that his wife, who just passed away, was somebody else altogether. In my opinion, this is a well written and directed story line, broadcast on #iTV. I am not sure there could be a second season to this story, although it is possible, however I am hoping for more television shows of this caliber in the near future.
Was kinda slow starting but I really got in to this show. All along I thought it was the one who thought of the other as brilliant but I was wrong.

Did episode 9 not air tonight?
Where are the links????
Where's episode 9?
Can we have links here pls?
I personally loved him as Daniel Faraday in Lost his character in this is very similar(vaguely) being professors and messing with time/reality also totally agree with @Hellfist that inmate name scene was great. Lol Marc Guggenheim.

Validation of System for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Antiretroviral Therapy in HIV-Infected Patients in Africa
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00341393
Recruitment Status : Completed
First Posted : June 21, 2006
Last Update Posted : July 2, 2017

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate a system for predicting the effectiveness of antiretroviral treatment in African HIV clinics where standard testing methods for measuring viral load, such as RNA polymerase chain reaction, are not available or affordable. Without accurate tests to monitor viral load, treatment decisions often are based on insufficient clinical and immunologic information. This study will see if combined analysis of patients' antiretroviral treatment history, adherence to treatment, clinical findings and simple laboratory tests can predict whether their treatment is effectively lowering their viral load. An effective monitoring system such as this could reduce the number of patients kept on ineffective treatments for prolonged periods of time as well as reduce the development of drug resistance.
HIV-infected patients 18 years of age and older who are being followed in the Adult Infectious Disease Clinic at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda, and who have been taking antiretroviral treatment for more than 6 months may be eligible for this study.
Participants' medical charts are reviewed and their medical history is taken, including questions about their treatment history, adherence to treatment, and changes in symptoms. A blood sample is drawn to determine viral load, CD4+ and CBC counts, and, if necessary, anti-viral resistance.
|Condition or disease
Routine virological monitoring of HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not currently affordable or available in most African HIV clinics using standard methods such as RNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Alternative cheaper technologies to quantify the viral load are still awaited. Therefore the majority of patients are monitored just clinically and sometimes immunologically. Decisions about switching to second-line ART for treatment failure are based upon insensitive (for virological failure) clinical and immunological criteria, such as those suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO).
We hypothesize that using a combination of detailed treatment and adherence history and changes in clinical and laboratory parameters, virological failure or success may be predicted in the majority of patients taking ART in a typical African HIV clinic. Using a monitoring algorithm in which patients are classified according to their likelihood of failure, it would be possible to reduce the number of viral loads required by an ART clinic while at the same time increasing the detection of those failing virologically, enabling a switch to a new effective regimen earlier than would be possible using the WHO criteria.
Therefore, the protocol team proposes a cross-sectional study of patients being treated in a busy African HIV clinic. We will include protease-inhibitor (PI)-naive patients who are on first-line non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) based ART and have been on treatment for more than 6 months. Each patient will undergo a structured interview, have their notes reviewed and have blood taken for complete blood count, CD4+, viral load and genotypic and phenotypic anti-viral resistance testing (if necessary).
Treatment, adherence, clinical and laboratory parameters would then be individually and collectively assessed for their ability to predict virological failure using various statistical procedures including a classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. From this, the monitoring algorithm would be refined. Its performance would then be compared against the current WHO recommendations for switching therapy to see what proportion of patients failing virologically could be switched earlier using this system and at what extra cost.
Such a monitoring system could reduce the number of patients being allowed to fail their first-line regimens for prolonged periods of time, for an affordable increase in cost. This could, therefore, reduce the evolution and transmission of drug resistance and significantly prolong the effectiveness of the roll out of ART in Africa.

Part-skim mozzarella sticks coated with crispy seasoned breadcrumbs and baked until hot and golden. Serve them with my quick marinara sauce and you have yourself an appetizer everyone will love.
Hot mozzarella sticks, I can't think of a more popular finger food with both kids and adults alike! I mean, what's not to like? Baking them as opposed to frying and using part skim cheese doesn't effect how good these are. The cheese still melts, see for yourself!
Of course, you'll want to serve them hot right out of the oven, because like any cheese, as they cool they harden.
It actually took me several attempts to get these perfect. I played around with different brands of light string cheese to see which yielded the best results. The winner was Sargento part-skim, low-sodium. Although it's not the cheese with the least amount of fat compared to some other brands, it had the best flavor and wasn't as salty as I found some brands to be.
These are freezer friendly, in fact these MUST be frozen before you bake them or you will have one big cheesy mess in your oven! The good news is you can bread them all ahead of time then place them on tray with wax paper and freeze them until you are ready to bake. Make the marinara sauce a day ahead as well. Happy Superbowl Sunday!!
Skinny Baked Mozzarella Sticks
Servings: 12 • Serving Size: 2 pieces • Old Points: 1 pts • Points+: 2 pts*
Calories: 86.8* • Fat: 4.8 g • Protein: 7.4 g • Carb: 3.5 g • Fiber: 0.2 g • Sugar: 0.2
Sodium: 168.6
12 sticks part-skim, reduced sodium mozzarella string cheese (Sargento)
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp flour
5 tbsp Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
5 tbsp panko crumbs
2 tsp parmesan cheese
1 tbsp dried parsley
olive oil cooking spray (I used my misto)
Cut cheese in half to give you 24 pieces. Place cheese in the freezer until cheese is frozen.
|Breading station
In small bowl, whisk the egg. Place the flour on another small dish. In separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, panko, parmesan cheese and dried parsley.
When ready to bake preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with oil.
Place frozen cheese sticks on baking sheet. Spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks with a little more oil and bake in the bottom third of your oven until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 4 - 5 minutes watching them closely so they don't melt.
Makes 24 pieces.
Notice: There will be extra crumbs and flour after breading, I've deducted them from the nutritional info.
