Model 19 ASR - USN A/N TT-7/FG
I purchased this Model 19 machine from a company called RTTY Electronics in the California SF Bay Area back on May 14, 1974 - over 40 years ago. RTTY Electronics is still in business in El Sobrante, CA and its owner, Paul Cembura, has been rebuilding TTY machines since 1966. In 1974, Paul was rebuilding teletypes in the basement of his house. What a basement,... full of different kinds of teletype machines and parts. He had a washing system that used solvent (kerosine) to degrease the printers and a metal wash tub basin to capture the run-off. It was an experience just to go there and see all of the machines in various states of assembly and disassembly. Needless to say, this Model 19 has always been in great condition - almost like new inside, probably because thirty-some-odd years ago, new parts were still easily available. I paid $125 for it and hauled it back up to Nevada in the bed of a 1969 Datsun pick-up (pulling Luther Summit was quite a load for the little 1200cc engine.) I used the machine actively on 20 meters from 1974 up to about 1980, working several DX RTTYers like DU1POL, Paul Lacap, who was the chief of police in Quezon City in the Phillipines, or JA1DI, Isao Yamaguchi in Tokyo, Japan (see header photo.) Many stateside RTTYers were also worked with this old Model 19. In 1980, I moved from Gardnerville, Nevada to Minden, Nevada and had no room for the RTTY station at the new QTH, so I stored the TTY from 1980 until 1993, when we moved to Virginia City, Nevada. In 1995, I went through the machine, lubing and adjusting, in order to have it as a working exhibit in our radio museum. The only problem was I couldn't find any RTTY signals on 20 meters at that time,....at least 45 baud Baudot signals (except for one lone XE1 station that was copied.) I assumed that real machine RTTY was dead. In 2007, I again resurrected this Model 19. I had to replace the 323B grid-controlled thyratrons in the REC-30 loop supply in order to get the tape perforator working but otherwise the machine was still in fine operational condition. This time many 45 baud Baudot signals were copied especially during contests. It was great to again find that the Model 19 along with an old HAL ST-6 would print out solid copy with that fabulous electro-mechanical cacophony that is real machine RTTY. This Model 19 is the later version with the tape perforator counter mounted to the left of the keyboard inside the perforator housing. This mounting made the mechanism less likely to sustain damage compared to the earlier right side mount. The machine is military in origin and has holding magnets in the printer (connected in parallel for 60ma operation.) Military designation was TT-7/FG. The gray color is a later addition courtesy of RTTY Electronics. ASR indicates Automatic Send-Receive.
Teletype Corporation
Model 15 KSR - USN Mare Island Naval Shipyard
This Model 15 KSR machine was owned by well-known Reno ham, Al Chin. Al worked on most of the radio gear for the Reno PD. He became an SK in the mid-1970s. This Model 15 was removed from Chin's backyard metal storage shed around 2003. It is in very good condition considering how it was stored. The metal tag on the front is a property asset tag and indicates that this machine was used at USN Mare Island Naval Shipyard located in the San Francisco Bay Area by Vallejo, California.
The Model 15 is a KSR machine, that is, Keyboard Send-Receive. The indestructible Model 15 was found everywhere including radio stations, weather stations, police departments, newspapers. Many times the keyboards were not needed in a "receive only" installation and there was blanking plate installed to cover the opening. If a Model 15 was/is well-maintained, it will run forever.
Teletype Corporation
Model 28 KSR - U.S. Navy
This Model 28 KSR TTY was discovered by KB6SCO in a warehouse in Carson City, Nevada where it had been stored since 1997. It had apparently been purchased as part of a military surplus lot since the warehouse was literally filled with various kinds of equipment that had come from these kinds of "lot" purchases over several decades. When KB6SCO spotted the 28KSR, it had "TRASH" written in grease pencil on the lid and had various types of garbage inside. KB6SCO, knowing that I'm an avid TTY fan, obtained the TTY from the warehouse specifically for our collection. As can be seen in the photo, this 28KSR is now cleaned up and is in mint condition internally since it was never been put into service since it was rebuilt by San Diego Navelex in 1987.
RTTY Station WA7YBS in Virginia City, Nevada
This is a photo of my old RTTY station that I had set up a few years ago when the QTH was Virginia City. In the rack from top to bottom, CV-89A RTTY TU, Dovetron Tempest RTTY TU, CV-116/URR RTTY Diversity TU, Collins R-390A/URR receiver, Dovetron Multipath RTTY TU, Patch Panel, Keying Loop Supply and at the bottom an 8" PM speaker with 600 ohm Z matching transformer. On the shelf left to right, Dual Speaker Panel on top of a HAL ST-6 RTTY TU, Collins 51J-2 receiver and a Collins 75A-4 receiver. Center floor is the AN/TT-7 FG (Model 19) TTY machine and next to it the Collins KWS-1 transmitter. Although all of the gear in the rack does work, I normally used the 75A-4 and KWS-1 as the receiver and transmitter and then demodulated the RTTY with the HAL ST-6. This set-up with the Model 19 TTY worked quite well. The KWS-1 had to be run at reduced power due to the 100% duty-cycle of RTTY but still 150W output provided a decent signal.
Although this station is no longer set-up, I still have all of the gear shown. With our 2012 move to Dayton, Nevada, I now have ample space for a RTTY station, so it's just a matter of time before I have something set up and running real machine RTTY.
Well,...that's what I thought in 2012. Now, five years later, the TTY machines are out in the shop and the KWS-1 transmitter is upstairs in the ham shack.
RTTY Converters/Terminal Units
the Hallicrafters Inc.
U.S. Army Signal Corps - CV-31D/TRA-7
The CV-31 Series of RTTY Converters were for dual diversity set-ups to assure the most accurate copy for military RTTY uses. Diversity reception compensates for fading radio signals and provides a constant level signal to a data converting device such as a RTTY Converter and TTY machine. Many different types of receivers were used with the CV-31 Converters. There are photos showing the CV-31 used in the early GRC-26 Mobile RTTY set-up using modified BC-342 (designated as R-336) receivers. Other applications used Hammarlund BC-794 (R-270/FRR designation) receivers as the dual diversity FRR-12 which was used with a rack mount version of the CV-31. There were several other configurations using other types of receivers. The IF output from the two receivers is used as the signal source to the two channels of the CV-31 (Ch. A and Ch. B.) The front panel vernier tuning on the CV-31 allows some adjustment for the various IFs encountered.
A typical commercial-military dual diversity set-up usually required two widely spaced antennas with 1000 feet of separation usually specified. However, the GRC-26 specified 600 to 900 feet and many times a useable diversity effect can be obtained with antenna separation that is as little as one wavelength at the received frequency. In some dual diversity receiver set-ups, the receivers are tied together at the AVC and at the Diode Load to provide diversity action within the receiver circuitry. Usually, for military RTTY installations, the IF outputs from the receivers are fed directly to a RTTY converter and the diversity combining is accomplished within the RTTY converter circuitry. The diversity combining is done in the CV-31.
The CV-31 series was introduced at the end of WWII and was in active use well into the 1950s. This CV-31D/TRA-7 is from a 1951 contract. 25 tubes are employed and the weight is in excess of 100 lbs.
Hoffman Laboratories Inc.
U.S. Army Signal Corps - CV-116/URR
The CV-116 is a dual diversity RTTY FSK TU that was designed for the Signal Corps to be used with two R-390 receivers for space or frequency diversity RTTY primarily within the GRC-26 mobile communications hut. Using 45 tubes and weighing in at nearly 70 lbs., the CV-116 uses the 455kc IF output from two R-390 receivers for its signal input to each channel. The input stages are similar to a receiver's input in that an RF amplifier, oscillator and mixer are used in each channel. Channel A operates at 50kc and Channel B operates at 29.3kc into their respective discriminators. Although crystal control can be used, AFC is also available to compensate for receiver (or signal) drifting. There are two, motor driven AFC controls that use amplifier circuits in feedback loops to drive motors that gear drive a tuning condenser that keeps the oscillator tuned for each channel. The red lamp is an addition that provides a visual alarm indication that the driven AFC condensers are near the end of travel. Normally, the internal bell gave a warning alarm but if several CV-116s were in use with several TTY machines, it would have been difficult to find which CV-116 was giving the bell alarm, thus this addition which provides both alarms. The second from the left meter (M4) can be switched to monitor several areas of the circuit including the built-in, adjustable loop supply. The CV-116 is designed to drive the TTY printer magnets directly (cable interface required) and will drive resistive loads from 125 to 500 ohms. This Cadillac of military TUs was built in 1953. It is fully functional and in use with a R-390A receiver to copy RTTY on the Model 19 TTY.
U.S. Navy - CV-57/URR
The CV-57/URR was a component of the dual diversity RTTY system designated AN/URA-6. Two CV-57s and a Comparator designated as DM-14 comprised the system. The CV-57 used the IF output from compatible receivers, such as the RBB, RBC or RDM. However, the actual range of IF inputs was from 395kc up to 470kc, so it was possible to use a 455kc IF rather than the 400kc IF of the RBB/RBC receivers. The circuit uses a series of selectable filter center frequencies and the incoming FSK signal is tuned to allow the mark and space frequencies to straddle the center filter frequency. The system could operate up to 100wpm RTTY. From the early 1950s.
Hoffman Radio Co.
U.S. Navy - CV-89A
The CV-89A was part of the URA-8 diversity RTTY system that was built for the Navy by Hoffman Radio Company. Two CV-89A units were used with a combiner unit to achieve space diversity and reduce fading signals to improve RTTY copy accuracy. Using 15 tubes, the CV-89A is modular in construction. Five modules make up the unit - four are mounted in the chassis and one is mounted in the back of the case. Being an audio discriminator device, the operator has to tune the RTTY signal so the mark and space frequencies straddle the center frequency of the filter selected. Narrow shift center frequency is 1000hz and wide shift is 2000hz. The CV-89A features a built-in oscilloscope display to aid in tuning and determining FSK shift. The oscilloscope display will shift vertical positions with mark and space frequencies and by adjusting the shift knob so the display spreads between the three graduations on the display scale, frequency shift can be measured. The CV-89A requires a separate loop supply in series with the printer magnets. The magnets and loop supply can be connected to the rear A/N MIL connector (14S-9P) or if the TTY/loop is set-up with a single .25" phone plug, it can be inserted into the jack on the front panel behind the small door in the lower right panel. An excellent, easy to use military TU. Built in 1953, this CV-89A is fully functional and provides great copy with any receiver that has a 600 audio line out.
MPC-1000CR/T "Regenerative Tempest" MIL-SPEC RTTY TU
Possibly the most electronically elaborate RTTY TU ever built for use with real machines. Though the Dovetron "Tempest" looks very similar to the civilian MSR-1000RC (below), it is the military/government version of the TU and MIL-SPEC is used throughout the unit. The Tempest units will have BNC connectors for inputs and outputs on the rear and a 14S-7P power input connector. Speed conversion, diversity capability, duplex afsk and tunable mark and space filters are the standard features but the Tempest versions do not have an auto-start feature or the keyed TTY loop supply of the civilian models. FSK polar outputs are provided to drive a loop keyer for machine RTTY or whatever else you might want to use. Both +/-6vdc and +/-12vdc FSK polar outputs are provided. The MPC-1000CR/T shown is in the "self-test" mode to show the SSD "Cross-fire" LED display operating. The horizontal line indicates mark and the vertical line indicates space. A fantastic TU that really has the great performance to go along with its great looks. Built in the early 1980s.
MPC-1000RC - Multipath Diversity RTTY TU
The MPC-1000RC is a commercial/civilian RTTY TU that can do speed conversion, multipath correction, auto-start, AFSK and has a multitude of other abilities depending on the users requirements and the TU's options. The MPC-1000RC features front panel tunable filters for Mark and Space from which shift can be determined. Originally, the early Dovetrons used a CRT display but later a SSD "Cross-fire" LED display could be installed to replace the CRT. The Dovetron shown has the LED display option installed. Mostly op-amp technology but a considerable amount of digital CMOS in the UART board which does the speed conversions. The MPC-1000RC provides an adjustable built-in loop supply to directly drive the printer magnets. Built in 1976.
Northern Radio Company
Type 153 Model 2
This is a Tone Frequency Shift Keyer built by Northern Radio Company. It is a dual channel unit and both units are completely independent of each other. Fixed tuned filters are used and are set for 85 Hz shift. The tones also use a Mark frequency that is higher than the space frequency. This suggests that this TU may have been used in the VLF wavelengths. It has also been reported that the government state department used the 153 in their RTTY feeds to the VOA stations.12 tubes total are used, six in each unit. I have never used this TU since it is such an odd, apparently special function unit. Mid-fifties vintage.
HAL Communications Co.
The ST-5 was one of the first TU's to use op-amp technology utilizing the 709C op amp. It came out in 1970 and was available as a kit. Build quality varies considerably. The circuit uses toroid based filters and features a built-in loop supply that is keyed for direct connection to the printer magnets. Later models featured auto-start.
HAL Communications Co.
The old stand-by,...the reliable ST-6 was (and is) the work horse for real machine RTTY. Using toroid based filters and op-amp technology, the HAL ST-6 is easy to operate and it is easy to tune in stations. The ST-6 is built on eight circuit boards which plug into sockets that are mounted vertically. The meter is cheap and rarely accurate. Some meters are illuminated but most aren't. Early versions of the ST-6 use .25" phone jacks for TTY outputs and RCA phono jacks for inputs. The later versions will have Molex connectors for the TTY outputs. Many ST-6s were sold as kits and therefore the build quality can vary dramatically. When well built, the ST-6 is indestructible and always reliable. Even if you do have to work on the ST-6, it is well laid out and easy to troubleshoot and repair. Too bad it doesn't have the "Dovetron" looks. Built in the mid-1970s.
Flesher Corp.
Model TU-170
This small TU is mostly op-amp technology and uses active filters for mark and space tuned circuits. It has a built-in loop supply and also has auto-start capabilities. The plastic and metal case is small for the amount of circuitry inside. Dates from the mid-1970s.
Electronics International Service Corp. (EISC)
Model TV1-C "TELE TERMINAL"
This TU is a basic unit that provides only TTY decoding with a built-in loop supply. Discrete transistor technology and toroid based filters make this a very simple unit to work on. Normally the AFSK oscillator output would be connected to the microphone input of a SSB transmitter which resulted in FSK signals - at least that was how it was done in the seventies. This TU provided a mic input on the back and then the operator could select RTTY or Voice from the switch and not have to disconnect cables. The TU itself does not have AFSK capabilites. The meter is dated February 1971.
WA7YBS Homebrew TU - 1977
I designed and built this op-amp based TU in 1977. I decided to use active filters as they were the current "buzz word" at the time. Unfortunately, active filters require a sine wave input and the square wave output of a standard RTTY TU limiter wouldn't work correctly. I used an op-amp based AGC IC (LM-380) for the input so the filters would always "see" a sine wave regardless of the input signal level. At first I had the Q so high on the filters tuning in a signal was next to impossible (Q was 40.) The filters have to overlap somewhat for ease of tuning and good copy and this was accomplished with a lower Q in the filters (RC component change to have the Q at 10 worked fine.) My AFSK circuit used an Intel "Function Generator on a Chip" (you used to be able to get them from PolyPacks - remember them?) I switched between two fixed 1% MF resistors using a DG-200 micro relay and the system worked quite well. For local copy, I split the output of the AFSK buffer to also drive the input of the TU during transmit. This resulted in an actual received copy on the printer and not the local copy that results from breaking the local loop. It all worked pretty good and I used this TU from 1977 until 1980. Ugly, isn't it?
NOTE: I also built one of the W2PAT tube-type TUs in 1974. It used neon lamps indicators and had TV-width adjustable coils in the filters. I soon changed the filters to toroid based filters and the whole thing worked much better. I wish I still had it but I tore it up years ago for parts for some other project.

Many adult foot ailments, like other bodily ills, have their origins in childhood and are present at birth. Periodic professional attention and regular foot care can minimize these problems in later life. Neglecting foot health invites problems in other parts of the body, such as the legs and back.
» More Information (American Podiatric Medical Association Brochure – PDF)
Your podiatric physician/surgeon has been trained specifically and extensively in the diagnosis and treatment of all manner of foot conditions. This training encompasses all of the intricately related systems and structures of the foot and lower leg including neurological, circulatory, skin, and the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves.
The information on this page is provided by The American Podiatric Medical Association, http://www.apma.org
Hannah, 9, sprained and had a small stress fracture in her foot back in January. A few weeks into things, her pain increased and her foot started to turn blue. As soon as I sent Dr. Belgin pictures of it, he made the connection that she had developed CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). He sent us to Mercy. Hannah was their first pediatric patient ever with this. We were lucky enough to get into Kennedy Krieger within 4 weeks. Dr. Belgin was instrumental in getting her in and getting her what she needed.
Although she missed the majority of her third grade year, Hannah responded really well to all of her therapies. It spread, since she sprained her other ankle on vacation. She now has it in both legs. The CRPS pediatric specialist at Krieger tells us that she'll most likely develop it in any injury that she has within a year. She'll go through remissions and flare ups for the rest of her life. Anyway, she has the best chance of walking because Dr. Belgin recognized what was going on. We have routines that we to do every day for the nerve pain. Even with the forever needs, we are so lucky. There are kids who wait six months or more for a diagnosis and end up in a wheelchair. Hannah uses a scooter when we walk for long periods of time. She was able to swim yesterday for the first time." – Jennifer 07.22.2015

They're just two, little initials. But fewer than 300 people worldwide have earned the right to add these prestigious letters after their names. In fact, only 100 of them are outside of the U.K. And only seven of them are women.
A "Master of Wine" has truly reached the most towering of achievements in the wine industry. To earn the right to use the abbreviated form, "MW," after one's moniker, is a testament to untold hours of study and practical understanding of the art, science and business of wine.
Women for WineSense's very own Dr. Liz Thach has earned the right to add the coveted letters after her name:
Dr. Liz Thach, MW
[Round of well-deserved applause and ovation!]
The Institute of Masters of Wine recently conveyed this esteemed qualification and title on Dr. Thach and will formally induct her into the institute in its annual awards ceremony and reception at Vintners' Hall held in London in November of this year.
Are you curious about the rigors of the exam? The first part is four, separate exam papers on viticulture, winemaking and wine business. Then (presuming you progress) you'd face three blind tasting exams with no less than a dozen wines each. You'd have to write up extraordinarily detailed analyses of each of the wines tasted before moving on to phase three of the examination. Last up would be your dissertation.
We've reduced the exam requirements to a rather cursory summary above, but when the exams were first given in 1953, of the 21 candidates only six passed. While the exam has changed a bit over the years, the difficulty of achieving the honor remains highly challenging. The first female MW, Sarah Morphew Stephen, passed the exam and was awarded membership into the institute in 1970.
Dr. Thach, WWS' outgoing Director of Education just this month, was also recently appointed Sonoma State's Wine Business Institute's Korbel Professor in Wine Business.
You can learn more about Dr. Thach's milestone achievement here and her recent appointment to the Korbel Professorship here.
Congratulations, Dr. Liz Thach, MW!

The Lowdown on Markets to 17th December 2016
World Markets at a Glance
In this week's issue
- Global equity markets continue to Rally from the Trump effect and the Santa Claus Rally.
- Wall Street records yet more highs whilst the US dollar hits a 14-year high.
- The FTSE 100 Index closes above 7,000 securing its second successive weekly advance.
- In the bond markets the 10-year US Treasury bond yield hits a two-year peak.
- Oil markets have a turbulent week initially rising on OPEC news then steadily retreating.
- Equity markets have been rewarding in 2016 and still look better value than bonds.
"Global equity markets continue to rise but show some signs of fatigue"
As we enter the last few days of trading for 2016 the markets continue to rise, even if showing some signs of fatigue. Certainly, 2016 has been a year of extraordinary change which has seen the political backdrop for the United Kingdom, United States and perhaps Europe take a new direction as we go into 2017 and beyond. From Brexit, to the US presidential election, to the recent Italian referendum, we have seen the Anti-establishment begin to change the political landscape as a rise in populism, and distrust towards globalisation builds and appears to be gaining some momentum.
And in respect to next year, we do have some very important elections in Germany, France and Holland, with the prospects for further surprises and shock results, as the winds of change move across the Atlantic to the eurozone. Understandably, this is likely to create another year of political uncertainty and periods of higher volatility but it will also create investment opportunities.
If these political changes were to succeed, and we see a pick-up in growth and prosperity, then a further period of positive momentum in the markets is likely to occur, but if they fall short, then the likelihood is that we will enter a period of recession and volatile market conditions.
"For this year, investment returns from equities and bonds have been very rewarding for investors"
None-the-less, for this year investment returns from equities and bonds have been very rewarding for investors, and of course, since the European referendum vote, and the devaluation in sterling, we have seen returns for UK investors benefit from both the FTSE 100 Index, which has again rallied above 7000, and from any overseas assets held. I don't actually think there have been too many people that have been predicting a continuation of this world-wide bull market for stocks and bonds given the uncertain start in the markets we saw at the beginning of the year when it was fully expected that the US Federal Reserve Bank would continue to tighten throughout 2016.
And so what should we look out for in 2017? The baseline is likely to be a continuation of global economic expansion, reinforced by further monetary and fiscal policies. But of course, under the new Trump administration we could also see a big pick-up in infrastructure spending, the cutting of US corporation tax, and a focus towards US companies producing their products deep within the United States for both domestic and distribution overseas. This in turn, is likely to safe guard US jobs, give US citizens more money in their pockets, and assist the central bank in their target for higher US inflation.
Indeed, only last week we saw the Federal Reserve Bank chair, Janet Yellen, announce a further 0.25 basis point interest rate hike, only the second modest adjustment in the past 10 years. And it is likely that they will be more active over the short-term to try and normalise interest rates given that both inflation and the US 10-year Treasury bond yield are both moving upwards. In fact, it is likely that we will see investors begin to rotate out of bonds and into either cash or equities at a fast rate over the coming few months and years.
And in respect to Europe, the ECB have announced that it will continue with its enormous stimulus package throughout 2017, which has strengthened Eurozone financial markets, however, the ECB president, Mario Draghi, said recently that they would reduce the level of stimulus to €60 billion per month from the end of March, but would maintain interest rates at their recent levels, or lower, if deemed appropriate. Similarly, the bank said that it might increase its program in terms of size, and duration, if the outlook begins to look less favorable. With three very important elections being held next year, the European markets, whilst looking attractive from a valuation perspective, are likely to experience a volatile year.
"The ECB have announced that it will continue with its enormous stimulus package throughout 2017"
Also the UK's invoking of Article 50, to begin our exit strategy from the European Union, will have ramifications for both the UK and Eurozone economies. Equally, some Japanese financial institutions have already told the UK government that they intend to begin moving out some of their functions from London within the next six months unless they get some further clarity as to the UK's future relationship with the European Union. Clearly, Brexit is becoming a dilemma for some international banks which could spill over to other sectors over time. Conversely, the sharp fall in the pound has already seen foreign tourist rates rise, and through import cost the rate of inflation, which is likely to continue over the coming months.
By the same token, the probability of the BoE raising interest rates sometime soon looks unlikely, indeed, the current predictions seem to indicate that UK interest rates won't breach 0.50 per cent until 2021, but that might depend on how inflation behaves itself over the coming 12 months, the direction of sterling, and the pace at which the Fed begin to tighten.
"Markets have been prolific since the Trump victory and have also been helped by the seasonal Santa Claus Rally"
Other markets that will be under the microscope next year will be the emerging markets which up to now have performed very well this year, however, Trump's election could start to act as a headwind given that the potential for fiscal stimulus in the US has become much more hawkish whilst the new administration has talked of protectionist trade policies. Clearly, this will create a more challenging time for EM's. However, valuations remain attractive on a relative basis, commodities have started to recover, and the EM asset class still appears to be under owned, therefore, there are still selective opportunities.
But unquestionably, the biggest issue that the markets will face in 2017 will be based around the political scene, and the election outcomes in countries such Germany, France and Holland, along with the run-up to the 19th National Party congress in China, Brexit and whether the new Trump administration can carry out their audacious policies which could affect globalisation as we know it today, all in all, should make for a very interesting investment year.
And so looking at last week's events the global equity markets were showing some signs of fatigue but not before Wall Street set more record highs, with the US dollar and US Treasury yields hitting multi-year peaks. But of course, it was the Fed chair, Janet Yellen that set the scene announcing that they would raise interest rates for only the second time in a decade and adopting a more hawkish stance. Certainly, the markets have been prolific since the Trump victory and have also been helped by the seasonal Santa Claus Rally.
Arguably, many of the equity markets are looking rather toppy and a meaningful correction cannot be ruled out, however, equities still look better value than bonds on a number of metrics and it is likely that the continual rotation out of bonds and into equities will be a theme that runs through 2017.
Lastly, from the directors and staff at Investment Quorum we would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Burlap & Twine already has a location in Hamilton, Ontario, and now downtown Burlington has welcomed their second gorgeous shop.
You'll find an array of vegan-friendly and ethically sourced bath & body goodies here like body butters, lip balm, bath oils, hand creams, body scrubs and bath bombs.
I popped in yesterday and couldn't resist their cute little "bath melts" so I picked up 3: lavender, rose, and raspberry.
As soon as I showed my kids they immediately started the bath and couldn't wait to see what happened. The raspberry did not disappoint as my main floor filled up with the subtle smell of sweet fruit while the melt fizzed away in the bathtub much to their delight. (added bonus: unexpectedly clean kids).
They're at 393 John Street in Burlington so have a peek the next time you're downtown!
Today is a gorgeous sunny day so a perfect opportunity to walk around, grab a coffee and check out some cute and unique shops!

Today's search podcast covers Google reconsidering Chinese censorship; who's
more powerful, a US senator or a Google Guy?; making your site search more
successful; search marketing budgets on the rise; what people search for on
the CIA web site and more!
Presentations from the Future of Web Search, in Barcelona
When it was announced earlier this year that Dr. Ricardo Baeza-Yates would be
joining Yahoo, part of the agreement involved him continuing to work with the
Universitat Pompeu Fabra. An event sponsored by Yahoo and the Web Research
Group of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, the Future of Web Search took place on
May 19-20, 2006, and included a large cast of presenters on a wide variety of
topics. ResourceShelf's Gary Price noted yesterday that many of the slides
from the workshop are now online. Here are a few of the presentations
Searching for a Place to Live
Real estate search services are some of the hottest new properties on the web,
and no wonder?the National Association of Realtors estimates that more than
77% of home buyers used the internet in their search for housing. And just as
different neighborhoods have a unique appeal, the current generation of real
estate verticals take widely differing approaches to finding real estate
information. SEW correspondent Greg Sterling has a great roundup of a number
of the most popular new real estate search verticals in today's SearchDay

- Top Four
& Two Percent Are Key For On Site Search Keyword Optimization
ClickZ has the details of a Patricia Seybold Group study which says that for
e-commerce sites, the top two-percent of search queries conducted within the
site are the most important. The top four-percent of search queries conducted
on non-ecommerce sites are the most important. If you improve the searcher
experience for those top 4 or 2 percent of your internal site searches, half
of all searchers will be happier….

Ain't About Guacamole: It's New Legal Search In Development
Avvo is a new legal, vertical search startup that promises to "better navigate
the highly confusing legal industry." Started by former executives from IAC,
Expedia and Microsoft, the company is based in Seattle and was formed earlier
this year as "LegalRev" before changing its name. It just secured $3 million
in funding from Benchmark Capital. If you visit the site you'll just see a
placeholder, so you can't yet determine what they're actually doing that is
different or potentially better than competitive sites like FindLaw or
Lawyers.com. But there is considerable room for improvement in terms of how
consumers find…

Advertisers Increase Search Marketing Budgets
Loren Baker reports on a JupiterResearch study that shows both revenues earned
from search marketing campaigns and budgets allocated to those campaigns have
increased. Search marketers with annual revenues of $15 million or more have
increased the share of the ad budget from 25 percent in 2005 to 37 percent in
2006. Plus 66 percent of marketers plan to increase search spend this year….

To Offer Picasa Web Albums?
Philipp Lenssen reports that he found signs of a "Picasa Web Albums" feature
coming to Picasa. Picasa is Google's desktop based photo management software,
that they bought back in July 2004. Philipp has screen captures of a button
that was visible on the Picasa homepage that read, "New! Picasa Web Albums."
The button has now been removed but it did link to a dead page at
picasaweb.google.com. Should we expect a Web based version of Picasa soon? I
suspect so, especially with the release of all these other Web applications

Suggests Google Might Reverse Chinese Censorship In The Short Term; Meanwhile,
China Ramps Up Google.com Blocks
"Brin says Google compromised principles" from the Associated Press covers
Google cofounder Sergey Brin telling reporters yesterday that it's possible
Google might reverse its policy of censoring on behalf of the Chinese
government. That's the real news from his talk — a possible reversal, perhaps
soon — not the admission of compromise which Google's made before. The news
comes on the heels of China apparently ramping up blocks on the uncensored

Advertiser Pays $2,000 After Misleading Searchers
ComputerWorld reports that a man who was selling "ineffective antispyware"
software through AdWords has paid $2,000 to settle the dispute out of court.
Seth Traub, of New Hampshire, used Microsoft's name in the ads, such as
"Microsoft AntiSpyware" for keyword searches on "Microsoft spyware cleaner" or

Google Tops For UK Web Search But Weak With Other Offerings
Figures recently released from web monitoring firm Hitwise provides mixed
messages from the UK for Google and their major competitors. The bare bones of
the statistics show that Google (combining the .com and .co.uk sites)
continues to dominate the search market in the UK, executing more than three
quarters of British searches. MSN Search and Yahoo! Search each powered just
over 7% each. Ask.com brings up the rear with a 5% share. So 96% of searches

Altrincham Office Space Set for Conversion
An office building, which was the Altrincham office space of Crosby Homes, has been purchased by property developer PH Property Holdings with a view to converting the Altrincham office space into 13 luxury apartments.
The £1.75m purchase would see the 21,000 sq. ft. of office space give way to apartments which will be expected to see for between £350,000 and £600,000.
Philip Hughes, managing director at PH Property Holdings, said: ΓÇ£WeΓÇÖre thrilled to have completed the purchase of Crosby House.ΓÇ¥
ΓÇ£Due to restrictions on planning, there hasnΓÇÖt been a multi-unit development of new homes in the area for quite some time. It therefore presents us with a chance to help refresh the local property market and provide buyers with moreΓÇ¥

Most folks are going to be very cynical about an idea that will give them free energy. But it's been tested and proven to work. More folks are taking on this do it yourself project and making their own free energy generator. So you possibly will wonder why you've never heard of it before, well isn't it obvious? How many electric companies are going to want you to know you can get gratis energy, and it will be off the grid.
It is no doubt that this type of device is not wanted to get out to the world. All that money that the companies who provide energy to homes will get away. This device will make free energy for you, and it will be entirely off the grid.
By means of very tiny space up in your home, so you will be able to place it without a big space being available. Power bills will be eliminated either by half or even the complete thing depending on how much you want to use the free energy generator. Doesn't matter if it's hot or cold out the generator does not have to be in an environmentally controlled area. Resources that you need to build your generator are low-priced and trouble-free to find anywhere in the world.

(Re)view From The Body: The Flick by Annie Baker directed by Sam Gold
Barrow St. Theatre
I have never had to wiggle my feet and pinch myself as many times as I did that night at Barrow St. Theatre to keep myself awake. The pauses were not Chekovian, which are brilliantly placed in the play to increase the tension. No no no. These were indulgent and sleep inducing. Any tension and anticipation that the very fine actors created was killed by, really my theatre partner counted , 30 second pauses at times. Between lines.
The anger I was experiencing, this is after all a view from the body, comes from the fact that the actors created deep and complex characters, and the writing was good, sometimes quite poetic. But the pauses suffocated both the acting and the words. I have heard that Ms. Baker wrote these pauses into the script, so maybe this was not a director's choice. But it was a choice that was conceptual and not particularly mindful of an audience. Maybe some theatre doesn't need an audience? Maybe some work should just be done quietly in ones garage.
I happened to be in Toulouse on a panel about realism in American Theatre this spring and Julie Vatain-Corfdir (Universite Paris-Sorbonne) spoke about the Flick as the epitome of realism in play-writing; real time. It was likened to Oklahoma theatre doing all the ah's and uh's. When is "real" too real? When is "real" just a cute concept that ends up being boring. I can see good drama in the subway and not spend money to wait around for the next line.
On a more positive note, I loved getting a physical glimpse into a slice of humanity from the inside, which we did get to see; inside the movie theatre and the people that clean up the pop corn. I broke off with a guy because he left his popcorn scattered all over the floor, to be cleaned up by someone else. I thought. Who wants to be with someone so shortsighted? I had a private conversation in my head with that guy…..during the pauses.
The three characters were each well embodied, with subtle layering. When an unexpected impulse happened , it had already been hovering. For example when the girl jumped on the guy and started kissing him. You could see that pounce hovering in her second chakra for awhile. She was a cat on a tree limb ready to pounce. Good layered acting always makes me hum.
In conclusion, between the pinching and the humming, I had a physical experience at the Flick a year ago. I am sure, if you have seen the play, your experience was different, and maybe your movie memories were nudged into consciousness and maybe you stayed engaged during the pauses.
Let me know. I am interested.

As is now a famous Philhelm Scream tradition (ie. I've done it once before, last year), approaching the half-way point of the calendar year feels a suitable time to take stock and rank some films. After what was an incredible strong Oscar year, there's a good showing of the nominees here seeing as each received a January release here in the UK. Fingers crossed July – Dec is just as good!
10. Hidden Figures
10. Hidden Figures
I thought it was a bit of a shame Hidden Figures (along with 2016's Hell or High Water) slipped under the best Picture radar a bit this year, while the incredibly dull Lion (2017) and Dev Patel's hair seemed to get a lot more coverage. The story of the first ever black female employee at NASA, and the struggles she faced to get there was told really well. It's a proper fist pump of a story, and doesn't get too bogged down in the boring number crunching that it could so easily have done. The leading trio of Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monáe and Octavia Spencer are each brilliant, so likeable you can't help but cheer every calculator button push. It may be playing for the Oscar black/female representation backlash, and plays those cards a little too heavy handedly at times, it was never enough to jar for me.
Although Get Out fell short of the immense build up it received upon release for me, I think I would enjoy it more second time around with the pressure off. You could easily view this as a straight forward horror and it would tick every box (with some great humour thrown in for good measure). You don't have to look too hard though to see Jordan Peele shining a bright light on interracial relationships and current underlying racial prejudice. In my review I mentioned how I would have preferred it had finished with the Night of the Living Dead (1968) ending it hinted at, but that's just me.
I can't decide how I feel about Ben Wheatley. As good as it was to look at I completely disengaged with High Rise (2015) about 2 thirds in (and I did well to last that long), yet Kill List (2011) is one of my favourite ever horrors. Free Fire has a wicked sense of physical and verbal humour, quickly dropping the world's most inept criminals in a warehouse shootout after a botched gun trade deal. The cast is great (Armie Hammer and Sharlto Copley were particularly funny), and Wheatley does a great job in moving his pieces quickly without you ever losing track of where each one is. It's manic and ridiculous, but completely original and absolutely my sense of humour.
While Logan gets special marks for doing something completely unexpected with it's superhero narrative, Wonder Woman did a brilliant job at reminding me why superhero movies can be great when they're done well. The nods to previous classics such as Superman (1978) helped, but there is an uplifting feel to Wonder Woman that I think would be very difficult not to embrace. It's refreshing to see a female superhero lead, so it's a relief that it turned out as well (and successful) as it did. While a supposed female empowerment movie could easily have taken a cop-out and male-bashed it's way through the run time, Wonder Woman merely placed both on the same level (Chris Pine is just as key a part to the story) and made it's lead kick ass.
6. Logan
The second answer to my issue with superhero films and their constant unoriginality was Hugh Jackman's 62nd(ish) outing as Edward Scissorhands. Following the massive success of Deadpool (2016), Logan was given the higher age rating the character warranted. With that came every way of killing someone with claws you could think of, and Patrick Stewart dropping F-bombs like it's Green Room (2015) all over again. All that is well and good (and there certainly is something cathartic finally being able to watch Wolverine slash and swear like he should), but instead of resting on those laurels, James Mangold thankfully decided to tell a story we haven't seen before: what happens when superheroes grow old. Logan's powers are in decline, he's aching, scarred and (even more) cranky. Add in a budding relationship with the terrifying Laura (Dafne Keen), and Logan served up an emotional pay-off I was completely unprepared for.
I didn't get Silence at all, but thankfully Andrew Garfield put that right with Hacksaw Ridge not long after. Previous misdemeanours meant Mel Gibson was never realistically in with a shout of the Academy Award for Best Director, but the job he did in placing you front and centre of the horrors of war was absolutely incredible. The first half, and it's almost dreamlike/picture postcard quality has grates on me the more I think about it, but it's successful in making the contrast to it's second and third acts all the more startling. The army training base scenes are funny, and push Garfield's character physically, and mentally, as well as testing his religious beliefs and desire to avoid violence in favour of helping people to their limit. The final act is a hard watch at times, so grim is the violence of battle. As long as that battle goes on for, it never falls in to the trap of feeling overlong or gratuitous though, and I could feel myself gripping the chair as it played out. Sometimes the true stories are harder to believe, and had this been entirely fictional I think I would have been rolling my eyes at certain points. Instead, I was completely swept away.
As much as I would like to go in to films blind, it was impossible to avoid the buzz around Casey Affleck's performance in Manchester By the Sea. He was in the process of sweeping up most awards in his wake by the time we caught the film, and was a dead cert to win the Academy Award. It's strange then when you begin the story you're left with a low key start where Affleck's clearly broken character shuffles from one handyman job to the next, gets blind drunk, and is rude to almost everyone he meets. It isn't until it's revealed why he is a shell of his former self that suddenly this performance makes complete sense, and you absolutely get it. Affleck's anguish is bubbling underneath throughout the whole film. He's tormented, and has to face the demon's that left him in this state when he's forced to return to his home town to deal with the passing of his brother. For Manchester By The Sea, the beauty is in the smaller details – people knock things over and bump in to things – it's a real world with real people, and watching them deal with the struggles they face with tears, humour, anger and bitterness is heart-breaking and hypnotising in equal measure.
I'll be interested to watch it a second time having listened to Bret Easton Ellis' eloquent blasting of the film's censored portrayal of gay relationships (although I often feel Ellis often wants films that he wants without any compromise). Despite that, Moonlight is a fascinating insight in to the difficulty of a young black boy coming to terms with who he is in an extremely masculine and often traumatic environment, and it's a story that's very delicately told. Each of the three actors that play Chiron across the film's three acts are brilliant, and the supporting cast of André Holland, Naomie Harris, Janelle Monáe (who I may be in love with a bit) and Academy Award Winner Mahershala Ali put in note perfect performances so good they would often demand a film of their own. Moonlight immerses you in it's world that you forget it isn't real and that you're looking in on someone's life - I can't wait to see what Barry Jenkins goes on to do next. There aren't many perfect films, but Moonlight may just be one.
As pleased as I was that Moonlight won the Academy Award (eventually), La La Land will be the DVD I will be reaching for more often. Damien Chazelle had already created one of my favourite films of the last few years (and one of Charlotte's all-time favourites) in Whiplash (2014). When you throw in the Gosling/Stone chemistry from one of my absolute feel good films, along with a trailer that promised spectacular visuals and teased us with epic songs, then my expectations were certainly high going in to see it. La La Land managed to exceed those with a clever combination of genre references and subversion. The ending may not be to everyone's taste, but that bad taste left in your mouth is a result of the standard stories we have been fed for so many years, and the subsequent expectations we have of our movies of that ilk. Films that challenge and play on those expectations make a brave decision to do so, and it worked so well here. There's a heavy dose of realism and cynicism dropped in the middle of a cinematic vision of LA and Hollywood, and I was glad it wasn't some straight forward musical romance. I've lost count to the number of times I've listened to that soundtrack too. It frustrates me that it eventually received the backlash it did when the immediate fanfare began to die down, and I hope it's remembered as 'that one that thought it had won.'
This is a bit of a ballsy choice seeing as I only saw this last week and it's only been released in the UK for a couple of days. It may be that I'm still riding that joyous wave of brilliantly blended music and action sequences, and I'm already looking to book a second viewing to see if it stands up twice over.
Baby Driver is the type of movie that will turn people into filmmakers. In an artistic rut? Go let @edgarwright refuel your creative energy— Kristian Williams (@kaptainkristian) June 28, 2017

I work with a great bunch of families with the goal of connecting children to nature. I thought it helpful to post some of our songs used. They are listed with a general topic or activity. Enjoy!
Berry Picking
1. Pop, goes the Berry!
All around the blackberry (or other) bush,
We picked some juicy berries,
We brought them home and washed them off,
Pop! Go the Berries!
(Kids jump up when we sing Pop)
2. (Tune: Clemintine)
Picked a blackberry (or other), picked a blackberry
That was growing in the sun.
Then, I washed it and I ate it,
And I picked another one.
Butterflies and Caterpillars
1. (Tune: Itsy Bitsy spider)
The fuzzy caterpillar eating a green leaf.
Makes himself a chrysalis then falls fast asleep.
Dreaming of flying, the days passing by,
The chrysalis breaks open and he's a butterfly!
1. Picking Apples (can be sung to the tune of Frere Jacques)
Picking apples, picking apples,
'Til we're done, 'til we're done,
Picking all the apples,
Picking all the apples,
'Til we're done, 'til we're done.
Climb a ladder, climb a ladder,
In a tree, in a tree
Hello, everybody;
Hello, everybody,
Look at me, look at me.
Making applesauce, making applesauce
Swich, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
Pouring the applesauce,
Pouring the applesauce
In a dish, in a dish.
Eating applesauce, eating applesauce,
Yum, yum, yum; yum, yum, yum.
Eating all the applesauce,
Eating all the applesauce.
Now we're done, now we're done.
Seashells and Ocean
1. Five Little Shells Fingerplay
5 little shells lying on the shore,
Crash went the waves and then their was 4.
4 little shells down by the sea,
Crash went the waves! then there was 3.
3 little shells, smooth as new,
Crash went the waves! Then there was 2.
2 little shells, sparking in the sun,
Crash went the waves! Then there was 1.
1 little shell, left by itself,
I took it home, and put it on my shelf.
2.Waves at the Beach (Tune: Wheels on the bus)
The waves at the beach go up and down, up and down, up and down,
the waves at the beach go up and down, all day long.
The crabs at the beach, crawl back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,
The crabs at the beach, crawl back and forth, all day long.
The lobsters at the beach go, snap, snap, snap; snap, snap, snap, snap
The lobsters at the beach go snap snap snap, all day long
The clams at the beach will open and shut, open and shut, open and shut,
The clams at the beach will open and shut, all day long.
The jelly fish go wibble, wobble, wibble; wibble, wobble, wibble; wibble wobble, wibble
The jelly fish go wibble wobble wibble all day long.
1. (Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Little leaves are falling down
Red, yellow, orange and brown
Whirling whirling round and round
Quietly falling without a sound
Little leaves are falling down
Red, yellow, orange and brown.

1. Menu Controller (266kb)
– Download it here: http://winaero.com/download.php?view.15
– Run MetroController.exe to start
– There are 3 options:
+ Disable all new features: this will disable all the new features of Windows 8 such as: Metro UI, Ribbon UI (Explorer), etc … You need to logoff for the changes to take effect
+ Disable only Metro features: this will disable only the Metro UI but keep the Ribbon UI in Explorer. You need to restart the computer
+ Close this window: Well, close the application!
– To restore back, you need to run the application again and choose:
+ Enable all new features
+ Enable only Metro features
2. Windows 8 Start Menu Toggle (15kb)
– Download it here: http://www.deviantart.com/download/258422929/windows_8_start_menu_toggle_by_solo_dev-d49uwep.zip
– Very simple to use, click on the "Use classic start menu" to use classic start menu & explorer like you do in Windows 7. You do not need to log off or restart the computer
– To restore back, run it again and click "Use Metro start screen"

Okay, okay. Not really. Sorry that it took me so long to get to this post. Remember 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2005? Just checking.
So, I guess I didn't end up seeing that many movies that were released in 2009. Hmm.
1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Honestly, this one was hard to decide. The top three on my list were all quite excellent, and it was hard for me to decide in which order they should go. I think that the brilliant use of comedy in this movie was the deciding factor. The Harry Potter saga is in one of its most depressing stages with this film, but they somehow smoothly wove in so many opposing emotions. They contrasted the bleakness with hilarity and a little bit of romance. The movie blended ordinary teenage life (for wizards at Hogwarts... work with me here) with life-altering events. This movie was the most highly-anticipated movie of the year for me, and it completely exceeded my expectations. In fact, if I were to grade it, I would give it an Outstanding.
2. Star Trek - I guess this one was highly-anticipated, as well. In preparation for the release of Star Trek, a couple of my friends and I watched every other Star Trek movie in order. Really, this one could be better than all of them. I won't commit to that statement until I've watched it at least 20 times and it's been at least 5 years. Nevertheless, this Star Trek was pretty riveting. There were no five-minute scenes of checking out all the contours of the
3. Up - The first five to ten minutes of this movie were fantastic. Pixar seems to rock at the first five to ten minutes of movies. The character development and theme set-up were so successful, and that is what really caused the rest of the movie to be so enjoyable. That, and Russell. He is pretty much, so hilarious. I also thought that the dogs were humorously quirky.
4. The Princess and the Frog - The voodoo guy in this movie was so scary. Really. He rivals Ursula, the Sea Witch in scariness. Point of randomness: Today, I actually found a voodoo doll that I made of myself once. It's actually a pin made partially out of matches. I did a good job on it. So, anyway, I like it when I can relate at least a little bit to a character in movies when I watch them, and I thought that Tiana was an excellent character. And even though I knew, just knew that the writers wanted me to think that Ray was so funny, and I like to be contrary, I have to admit that I did think that he was so funny. I guess I can't be contrary all of the time. In the scheme of all Disney movies, this one is probably somewhere in the top 25%. Not too much higher, though.
5. (500) Days of Summer - Again, I could relate to one or more of the characters in this movie during various parts of it. (Sarah, there's this part in the first fifteen seconds of the movie where the title character does something that to me, is extremely reminiscent of you.) Also, this movie has an excellent soundtrack. An excellent soundtrack can cover all manner of film sins. Okay, it really can't, but it can help me more fully enjoy an already-enjoyable film, which it did in this case. I don't think that I could watch this movie repeatedly like I can with, say, the previous four movies on this list, but it was enjoyable. I will be seeing it again.
6. Julie & Julia - Again, I don't think I could watch this movie repeatedly, but I thought that it was a fun and funny movie. I have a problem, though. I recently watched "Enchanted" again, and I was getting kind of annoyed by Amy Adams. Previously, I thought that I liked her in movies, but she really started to get on my nerves. Could someone please remind me of why I should like her before she goes the way of Nicole Kidman, Liv Tyler, and Renee Zellweger? Thanks, in advance. And now back to the film: One thing that I love about this movie is that it is about food. I love food. I can relate to the characters who love food. Food is beautiful and generally tasty. If you love food, then I recommend this movie. Also, Meryl Streep was amazing in the role as Julia Child.
7. Sherlock Holmes - I actually just saw this movie the other day. I had a problem with the movie. When I think of Sherlock Holmes, I think of a delightfully-dignified, brilliant sort of nerdy awesome guy who has a fantastic heart and a passion for music and solving people's problems. In other words, he could have been my fictional dream man. I don't know where I got the idea that he was like that. It could have had something to do with too much exposure to "The Great Mouse Detective" or listening to a really tame short story as a podcast. The reader had a fantastic and dignified voice. Anyway, the movie character of Sherlock Holmes was kind of a cad, which is unattractive to me and also, from what I hear, much closer to the character from the books, which I haven't read. I think I read about five pages of the Hound of the Baskervilles once, but that doesn't count. So, I had to remove my personal let-down of the movie and accept it for what it was, and it was pretty alright. One thing that I liked was that it made use of the indestructible and gigantic bad guy, who shows his face in the form of different actors in various films. If you ever decide to be an evil genius who is trying to take over some government entity, don't forget to put one of those in your group of henchman.
8. The Blind Side - If this movie had not been based on a true story, I probably would have hated it. They probably couldn't have written it from scratch to get to the point where it ended up. Inspirational movies that are fictional don't seem to really strike a chord with me as much as well-made ones that are based, however loosely, on true events or people. I didn't necessarily relate to any of the characters in this movie, but I did see a lot of characteristics in the depicted persons that I would like to more fully develop. And that is how they succeeded in this movie. Also, oddly enough, Sandra Bullock's accent never bothered me like I thought it would. Kudos to Sandra.
9. He's Just Not That Into You - The thing about this movie is that it wasn't really very original. This movie is like the bastard child of "Love Actually" and "Every Typical Chick Flick," which is, in fact, not an actual movie. So, I guess that they just artificially inseminated the DNA from every single Chick Flick into "Love Actually" and got this movie. (Was that too much? Do you blog readers think I need to edit this?) Anyway, the good thing is that they were able to make me laugh. Some of the situations were so extremely ridiculous, that I heaved a hearty laugh over it occasionally.
10. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - When I think of this movie, the five words that come to mind are stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, and enjoyable. There really isn't a whole lot more to say about it. (And yet, I still continue.) It was an excessively stupid, stupid movie with terrible lines and an absolutely horrible leading man, that somehow turned out to be enjoyable and entertaining. How that works, I do not know. It's a mathematical enigma. In fact, I remember thinking shortly after I had seen it, that there were only a couple of actors that I could have considered to be any good at all. The rest were seriously garbage. So, somehow, they took garbage actors and absolutely terrible lines and made an entertaining movie. Yeah, I'm still perplexed over it, too.
Not in the Top Ten:
That's right; these are the losers.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - I really liked the first two X-Men movies. The others have been okay, but really, that's it. Just okay. I love Liev Schreiber, but they really should have done more with him than scenes with Liev S. and Hugh Jackman running at each other to collide. They really overused that one.
Night at the Museum:
Race to
Monsters vs Aliens - To me, this was an after-school cartoon, only in movie form.
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - There were some funny parts, some predictable parts, and some really annoying parts. Also, Matthew McConaughey: blech.
The Time Traveler's Wife - I watched this on the plane back from
Movies I wanted to see from 2008 that I saw:
Son of Rambow - I really didn't enjoy this movie that much until the end, and I was so embarrassed that I cried at the ending, even though there was nobody around to see me cry. (In my defense, I was hungry and tired.) I guess that I can recommend it based on the ending. Also, it was kind of weird and quirky, and that's enjoyable sometimes.
Kung Fu Panda - Well, it was Jack Black playing himself in a cartoon panda form, so yeah, I liked it.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Meh.
Bedtime Stories - I enjoyed it, even though it was so obviously stupid and reeked of the Adam Sandler movie that it was.
Movies from 2008 that I didn't necessarily want to see, but I saw them anyway:
Fireproof - Well, it had a good moral. And... I guess that's all I'll say about that.
Slumdog Millionaire - It really was a good movie. It held my interest the entire way, and I especially enjoyed the credits.
Frost/Nixon - It was a movie about an interview. How do you think it was? Okay, okay. It was alright. FYI: This movie is not rated G.
Movies I still want to see from 2007:
Rescue Dawn
(Fortunately, I signed up for Netflix. If they are not already in my queue, I will put them there.)
Movies I still want to see from 2008:
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
I kicked off The Veggie Tales movie and Nim's
Movies I still want to see from 2009:
Terminator Salvation
9 (Not "Nine." 9. Why they made 2 movies with the same name in the same year, I don't know.)
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Where the Wild Things Are
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Do you think I missed anything? Was there a movie that you absolutely loved that I have overlooked?
And just to make this post a little longer, let me just say that reading through the lists of movies that were released was interesting. There were some titles that were hilarious, but after I got about 10% through the list, I became angry because of the stupidity of the movie titles. Too many of them are too punny, and too many of them are just random words.

The Evo OG is on Android 2.3.3, 3VO is on Android 2.3.3, and the P4G is on 2.3.4. No science to the methodology. I just ran Linpack until the consistency factor was stable, and took the first quadrant scores.
