Great resource for a 1:1 iPad classroom/school. However, this is a great model for any 1:1 setup. You truly need to consider the Teacher/Student/Parent paradigm when deciding on applications that enhance the learning environment. Where there is not workflow vision the people will perish.

Calling home with something POSITIVE to tell the parents can be so unexpected--but can really change the dynamics between parents, students and teachers. Yeah, it takes time, but all things that are worth it have a price. |

"Was it the use of technology that has created a heightened sense of anxiety about talking to someone face to face, or did it start with social anxiety that led to increased use of social media?" <--- The most poignant statement in this article. What do you think?

This is a good read with some nice food for thought. I'm a bit of a softie, and I do think that a more firm hand would be educationally beneficial for my students in the long run, even if they might not appreciate it in the short term. This article outlines 8 old-fashioned principles that the author is recommending that we embrace once again.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

AHMEDABAD: In a unique initiative, the state government is fabricating a hospital on wheels for laborers who work at construction sites. The special bus will have the latest equipment to treat labourers for trauma and common diseases and even house a makeshift ward to deal with mass emergencies.
Initially, the medical vehicle will employ a doctor and two paramedics.
"The bus will be different from the 108 emergency vans," says a senior official of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation ( AMC). "It will be a hospital under one roof. It will be capable of launching immunization drives, performing routine check-ups for vector- and air-borne diseases, and offering on-the-spot pathological analyses. It will be fitted with life-saving devices."
The official added that though the initial cost of the bus will be around Rs 35 lakh, it will escalate with the addition of more equipment. "We will be the first municipal corporation to get this bus in Gujarat," the official said. The success of the hospital will determine its adoption by other municipal corporations.
"Small accidents at construction sites are a reality and often treatment becomes costly," says builder Nilesh Parmar from Naroda. "The bus, in a way, can be a huge help for labourers. Developers' associations can be approached for contribution to this effort."
The state government also plans to have a portable X-ray unit, a computerized lab, and an ECG machine on board. "There are hospitals on wheels in the country with X-ray machines which can produce X-ray films in three minutes," the official said. For the equipment to work, an onboard generator set will be available.
"We will charge a token fee from labourers," the official said. "There could also be an emergency number on which developers can call the mobile van."

Visual Studio "14" Sharpens Focus on Modern C++
Visual Studio "14" Plans Improved C++11/C++14 compliance. As part of the this effort big changes are being made to the Standard Template Library bundled with "14".
Big Features Pack Visual Studio "14" Preview
The first preview of the successor to VS2013 has been released, unifying several recent projects into a single package. Nearly all technology platforms are affected, with ASP.NET, C++, and VB/C# developers all receiving large updates.
What changes brought by C++14 could break a C++11 program?
C++14, the new C++ standard, will bring a host of changes to the language. Although it is planned to be a small extension over its predecessor, featuring mainly bug fixes and small improvements, it is inevitable that a few changes could make a correct C++11 program break under a C++14-compliant compiler. With the new standard approaching a mature status, it is now worth asking where the risk lies.
C++ Cross-Platform iOS and Android Development: The Dropbox Lesson
Dropbox developers have recently given some talks describing how they support both iOS and Android in their apps without having to recode everything on each platform. Let's review the reasons that led to their approach, the benefits it brings, and some key points learned through the process.
Apple Speeds Up WebKit's JS Engine with LLVM JIT
Apple has improved the speed of Nitro with 35% – Safari's JavaScript engine – by converting JavaScript into LLVM IR code which is then subject to heavy optimization.
RyuJIT CTP4 Adds Windows 7 Support
RyuJIT, Microsoft's project to produce an improved Just-in-Time compiler for .NET, has taken a big step forward on the compatibility front by adding support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. Now developers on these platforms can test RyuJIT with their code.
Comparing the Performance of Various Web Frameworks
TechEmpower has been running benchmarks for the last year, attempting to measure and compare the performance of web frameworks. For these benchmarks the term "framework" is used loosely including platforms and micro-frameworks.
Coverity Scan Gets Better with Java, Apache Hadoop, HBase and Cassandra Support
The recently released open source scan report by Coverity mainly detected and fixed Resource Leaks, Null Pointer and Control Flow issues besides several other issues. It also scanned the source code of Linux and fixed several bugs.
Expression Evaluator: A Lightweight C# Compiler Service
While the .NET community eagerly awaits a production version of Roslyn, work must continue. So today we're looking at another compiler service, Expression Evaluator. While other compiler services are trying to be as comprehensive as possible, here we see one that is going the other direction.
Meteor 0.8: Blaze Release Overhauls Rendering System
Meteor has released version 0.8, bringing an "an overhaul of Meteor's rendering system." Meteor's next generation live templating engine, Blaze, includes support for fine-grained DOM updates, jQuery integration and simpler API. Blaze replaces the live page update engine Spark that was introduced in version 0.4 in 2012.
Modern C++ and Visual Studio
Modern C++ support continues to be an area of focus for Microsoft. This week at Build Herb Sutter gave a talk which provided an update on their current efforts, the level of CPP support being added in the next Visual Studio preview, and what is in store for the future.
RyuJIT's Improved Compiler Boosts .NET
The next generation .NET compiler from Microsoft, codename RyuJIT, has just had a second preview version release. While still very much a beta, the initial results are impressive when compared to both the first preview and the current 64-bit JIT compiler used by NET today.

In my office, I started an indoor garden with 2-48" double flourescent lights (that's 4 tubes). I have them on timers for about 13-14 hours of light daily. It's near a window, so it also gets a limited amount of natural light during the day. Lights are down within 1" of the tallest plants, and no more than 3" from the shortest. It started with kidney beans, which flowered and produced beans. Those plants are still going, although stunted (pots are way too small). I decided to add some variety and planted Serrano, Cayenne, and tomato seeds. The Serrano and Cayenne plants are now about 12"-18" tall and flowering, but do not set fruit. They each have a couple dozen flowers on them, and have been flowering for a couple months now, but no fruit has ever set. (The tomato plants were started later, and have not started flowering yet.) The size of the yield isn't an issue for me. I know that I'm not going to maximize anything with the setup, but I do want to have some yield. Anyone know why I'm not getting fruit? Is it hopeless with this level of lighting? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Well, I don't grow veggies myself, just flowers. However, there is an older discussion about growing tomatoes without the help of pollination from bees that might be helpful (see link below). The information there should be relative to your other plants as well. Art |

- Posted by gardenyoda none (My Page) on Mon, May 12, 14 at 21:15
you may have to pollinate them, use a q-tip or your finger and go from flower to flower plant to plant like a bee does. Done this before and it seemed to work fine. |
- Posted by biochemical (My Page) on Tue, May 20, 14 at 17:32
I was growing indoor tomatoes without any ventilation. The flowers formed within 3 weeks of planting the seeds, but fruit did not develop until the 6th week. During the 6th week, I put all the plants outside for a couple days and nearly all of them started developing fruits immediately. The problem is with pollination. The best pollinators are: If your plants are indoors, your only option is to create artificial wind by using a fan. Or, as somebody else pointed out, pollinate using a q-tip (but I'd recommend looking at images of the anatomy of a flower to know where to collect pollen from [the anther] and where to deposit it [the stigma]). The legume family of plants (beans) are usually capable of self-pollinating. The anthers are sensitive and often spatially oriented in a way that allows pollen from the anther of one flower to fall into the stigma of the same flower IF natural pollinators do not bring pollen from elsewhere for prolonged periods of time. This causes self-pollination and the seeds yielded from this fruit are genetically the same as the parent. The vast majority of plants have mechanisms to prevent self-pollination including the legumes, but if grown indoors, they will eventually self-pollinate. I grew kidney beans, vigna radiata, and vigna mungo indoors, and all of them self-pollinated. |
This post was edited by biochemical on Tue, May 20, 14 at 17:47
I pollinate using a vibrating electric tooth brush. Just place on the stem directly near or even on the flower itself. Works perfectly. You can see pollen fall from the flower. Since tomatoes and peppers are self pollinating, this is all you need to do. |

From Mesa to Gilbert to Scottsdale, here are great Olympic-themed events to help celebrate the spirit of the international competition.
Opening ceremonies aren't just in China
by Albert Ching
It's 08-08-08, and perhaps the most noteworthy event around the world today is the opening of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. But if you're not too busy glued to the set watching Olympic events like archery and handball, there are plenty of local activities to get you out of the house.
downtownmesa.org, Power Paws" /> |
An athlete has to be highly trained to make it to the Olympics. So are the Power Paws Assistance Dogs featured at the Arizona Museum of Natural History's Dog Days of August event. The museum will host a demonstration from the assistant dogs, which work with the disabled to help with tasks like opening and closing doors or switching lights on and off. Dog Days of Summer is also the theme of the downtown Mesa Second Friday monthly event, with plenty of dog-themed events.
>> Dog Days of August takes place 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at the Arizona Museum of Natural History, 53 N. Macdonald, Mesa. Free with donation of new, packaged school supplies, or $4-$6. (480) 644-2230 or arizonamuseumofnaturalhistory.org.
The Olympics have a lot of history to them. The modern version started in 1896, but the original games date to 776 B.C. At the "What Fun We Had! Entertainment in Chandler" exhibit at the Chandler Museum, you can learn a little bit more about the history of the city, specifically what people did for fun in the pre-digital world. The exhibit features historical photographs and playable versions of old-timey games like jacks and Tinkertoys.
>> The "What Fun We Had!" exhibit opening takes place 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at Chandler Museum, 178 E. Commonwealth Ave. Free. (480) 782-2717 or chandlermuseum.org.
This is the last year baseball will be an Olympic event, unless the International Olympic Committee reverses its decision. The teams usually consist of minor-leaguers, and there are still plenty of opportunities to watch future stars — like the Arizona League, a rookie-level league that operates entirely in the Valley. This Sunday, the Arizona League A's will play the Arizona League Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium, the spring training home of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
>> The Arizona League Angels host the Arizona League A's 7 p.m. Sunday at Tempe Diablo Stadium, 2200 W. Alameda Drive. Free. (480) 350-5205 or tempe.gov/diablo.
Scottsdale to Beijing? Just a stone's throw away
by Craig Outhier
Some people say that Scottsdale is a world apart from Beijing. They're wrong — technically, at 6,506 miles, it's merely half a world. Furthermore, if you take away OUR civil liberties, THEIR 4,000-year-old cultural heritage and overlook the 20,000,000-person population disparity, the two cities are practically indistinguishable. Convinced? Good. Now follow this Olympic-themed weekend planner to the letter and bring the 2008 Beijing Olympics home.
First, go home and put an Internet block on such hate-filled extremist Web sites as amnesty.org, dalailama.com and teletubbies.com. This wouldn't be a very convincing Beijing if you could effortlessly exercise your First Amendment rights, would it? Then get ready for tonight's Olympic opening ceremony by scooting down to AA Party Mart (10626 N. 71st Place) and picking up the national flag of your choice. The Party Mart folks stock all the cool-looking ones (Great Britain, Mexico, USA, Japan) and a few of the all-right-looking ones (Canada, Italy, Greece) in both full-scale ($29.99) and miniature ($1.49) sizes — perfect for waving while your compatriots amble through Beijing National Stadium. You also might want to pick up a smog mask ($1.99) at Home Depot.
>> The 2008 Summer Olympics opening ceremony starts at 6:30 p.m. on KPNX-TV (Channel 12). For more Party Mart information, call (480) 991-7505.
As a Summer Olympics spectator sport, women's beach volleyball has made massive strides in popularity since its inception in 1996 ... for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with those skimpy uniforms and sun-kissed muscles, we're sure. Before watching Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh defend their 2004 gold medal in Chaoyang Park, whet your beach volleyball appetite with a few games down at Tempe Town Lake, the only true waterfront beach court in the area. Courts are $10 for a two-hour block. Later, you can also root on former Phoenix Mountain Pointe High School star Reid Priddy when the male volleyballers take on the Venezuelans.
>> Volleyball coverage begins at 12:30 p.m. Saturday on KPNX-TV (Channel 12). For more information on Tempe Town Lake volleyball, call (480) 350-8625.
You can bet the hometown fans will be out in force when Yao Ming and the Chinese men's basketball team take on the Kobe Bryant-led USA squad in a preliminary-round battle. Alas, the best seat YOU'RE likely to score is the one at the bar at Fox Sports Grill (16203 N. Scottsdale Road) near the Airpark. If you order the Asian chicken salad ($11), it might feel like you have front row seats at Beijing Olympic Basketball Stadium, right? RIGHT?! Sigh. This is why Scottsdale needs a good dim sum place.
>> Basketball starts at 9 a.m. Sunday on KPNX-TV (Channel 12). For information on Fox Sports Grill, visit foxsportsgrill.com.
Get in the Beijing spirit in the E.V.
by Martin Cizmar
The 2008 Summer Olympic Games kick off today in Beijing. Here are a few ways to get in the spirit of the games.
There are a lot of Asian markets in the Valley, but Lee Lee Oriental Supermarket stands alone on size and selection. They've got everything from freeze-dried noodle bowls that blow away ramen to the thorny fruit durian, known as the world's smelliest foodstuff. They've also got a grand selection of Chinese and Asian beers, as well as great prices on other imports (Pilsner Urquell, $9.99 for a 12-pack).
>> Lee Lee Oriental Supermarket, 2025 N. Dobson Road, Chandler. (480) 899-2887.
www.ci.gilbert.az.us" /> |
Just like Americans expect gold in basketball, the Chinese expect victory in their unofficial national sport, table tennis. If you'd like to get ready for 2012, stop by the Gilbert Community Center. Their table has been stored to make way for more exercise equipment, but they'll gladly set it up if there's a free conference room. Then paddle away.
>> Gilbert Community Center, 130 N. Oak St. (480) 503-6290 or www.ci.gilbert.az.us.
There are Chinese restaurants all over the southeast Valley, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a better one than Yao's at Gilbert and Williams Field roads. Try the Seafood Delight and the paper-wrapped chicken — small pieces of chicken soaked in a spicy marinade, wrapped in foil and fried.
>> Yao's Fine Chinese Cuisine, 2487 S. Gilbert Road, Gilbert. (480) 899-0308.

Developers of a controversial business and industrial park in east Mesa are offering to compromise with nearby homeowners who oppose the project, just a day after the Mesa City Council failed to reach a decision on the development.
For months, residents of Queen's Park have battled the project on Pecos and Hawes roads, saying it will disturb their quiet lifestyle and lower property values.
Homeowners have said they will sue for an injunction against the development if the city approves it as it's now configured.
Councilman Scott Somers said the developers are now offering a 100-foot setback for the park to limit disruption to the neighborhood.
City zoning code requires a 20-foot setback for the industrial park, which would be separated by a road from Queen's Park. Residents have said they want a wider buffer between the businesses and their homes, as well as other compromises.
The developers have also pledged to build a wall and make it blend in with a nearby business park and landscape the area to obscure some of the buildings from the neighborhood.
Queen's Park falls squarely into the city's plan for creating jobs near Williams Gateway. City officials view the area as a future commercial and industrial center that will not accommodate residential developments.
"I think (residents) deserve all the consideration I can give them - but we also have to create a job center," said Somers.
After a lengthy debate Tuesday night, the Mesa City Council put off a decision on the Dove Business Communities industrial park until Sept. 17.
Supporters of the project said they will agree to the compromise if residents drop a legal protest against the development.

The Authority approved hiring former retired Delta Airlines pilot Bob Brown of Pell City as the part-time airport manager.
The Authority interviewed Brown at its Tuesday morning board meeting.
"I've been in aviation for a long time," Brown told the board.
Although Brown knows the job is part time, he will do his best to make the airport grow and prosper.
"If the job grows, that's fine with me, too," he said.
Brown said he moved to Pell City with his wife, Lynn, in 1978.
Brown said his interest in aviation sparked when he served in the U.S. Air Force.
He told the board he has adequate computer skills and has supervised employees in the past.
Brown said he doesn't mind speaking to civic groups to help promote the airport.
"I have no problem with that," he said. "I'm sure that is part of the deal."
He said a local airport is important to the local community.
"I started out in general aviation," he said. "I know how important it is to have general aviation for local businesses."
Brown said he has done all different types of aviation jobs, including the fueling of aircraft.
The new manager has a bachelor's degree in business administration from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fla.
Authority member Mike Fricker said the airport is lucky to get a quality person like Brown to manage the airport on a part-time bases.
"I think you will be a good asset for the airport," he told Brown after the interview.
Brown said he would be available for any emergencies.
After the Authority board interviewed Brown, the group agreed that he could work Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-noon, 5 hours per day for a total of 25 hours a week.
The board agreed that Brown will work some on weekends so local pilots who use the airport only on weekends will get to know the new airport manager.
Brown's starting pay is $17 an hour. He will receive no benefits.
In the afternoon, a part-time lineman will work fueling planes and maintaining the airport facility.
Brown will complete all necessary paperwork involved with the operation of the airport during the morning hours when he is working.
Brown is expected to start his job as the new airport manager Monday.

TapestryThreads's Note:
Chewy, peanut-buttery, not too sweet, and very addictive! This is a childhood favorite (I was a child in the 70's), and I'm surprised not to find the recipe anywhere online. I would have thought it as common as the chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies that are everywhere, with many variations. K-Lusters get rave reviews from everyone who tries them, and are great to make in the summer when you don't want to turn on the oven. (I grew up in a tropical climate, and this was often our reason for making them!) The recipe would also be good to take on a camping trip--you could stir up a batch in the afternoon and thrill everyone around the campfire that evening! My recipe is from a community cookbook published by missionary wives in the Philippines, but I've always assumed the name came from "Special K' or was on a Kellogg's corn flakes box. That's just a guess, however, since I haven't learned anything from my online research.

Bogle Old Vines Zinfandel
Excellent spicy, berry Zin- great price!
Excellent wine at a great price!
December 25, 2009
My favorite Zin
I have not been a Zinfandel fan, but a friend loves the old vines Zinfandel. I bought a bottle of the Bogle while in Tucson at our winter respite and we really enjoyed it. It has now become one of a few staples in my cellar for an everyday red. Give it a try and you may agree.
April 21, 2009
Excellent Blend of Flavor & Value
Bogle as a line is a great value. The Old Vine Zin is great to keep around. Nice start and finish, requiring very little air time.
March 25, 2009
Bogle Rocks!
I don't want to seem too much like Charlie Tuna. I just know that I like this wine and its a great deal for the money. Bogle NEVER lets you down.
November 28, 2008
Great wine
This win was very smooth with a balanced touch of bitter sweetness which is how I felt when I finished the bottle in one night.
November 11, 2008
Bogle, in general, is very consistent
I have found Bogle to be very consistent from wine to wine. Their Old Vine Zin tends to be an excellent value. If you like this one, you may want to try their Petite Sirah as well. That one's a little more "spicy and adventurous", but excellent as well.
November 5, 2008
Not Many Old Vine Zins Better
At this price point, you can't buy a better ZIN

Outstanding Wine
Loved this as a birthday present and want to get more.

It was a late night for the Red Sox with a rain delay, an extra-innings game and then a flight to Detroit that might or might not have gotten them to bed before sunrise.
One would expect Ben Cherington and Boston's amateur scouting staff got a good night's sleep, however. This weekend is the biggest weekend of their year — starting tonight.
Major League Baseball's Rule 4 draft is when teams draft the amateur players who will form the foundation of future teams. For the Red Sox, core players like Jon Lester (drafted in 2002), Dustin Pedroia (2004), and Clay Buchholz (2005); trade chips like Josh Reddick (2006), Anthony Rizzo (2007) and Casey Kelly (2008); and young potential contributors like Anthony Ranaudo (2010), Garin Cecchini (2010), Matt Barnes (2011), Henry Owens (2011), Blake Swihart (2011), Jackie Bradley Jr. (2011), Mookie Betts (2011) and Deven Marrero (2012) all have come out of the draft.
Because the Major League Baseball draft doesn't provide the same immediate gratification as is counterparts in the NFL or NBA, the names aren't as recognizable and don't generate the same excitement. But the right pick — or the wrong pick — can change the direction of a franchise.
The Red Sox have the No. 26 overall pick as well as the No. 33 overall pick — their compensation for losing Jacoby Ellsbury to the New York Yankees. Who will they take? Here's a rundown of the latest mock drafts from a handful of analysts considered the best in the business at scouting and projecting the June draft:
(For reference, Baseball America has its list of the top 100 draft prospects here.)
John Manuel, Baseball America
26. Luis Ortiz, righthanded pitcher, Sanger (Calif.) High School: "Advanced strike-throwing ability with the ability to locate well on either side of the plate"
33. Derek Fisher, outfielder, Virginia: "Profiles as a left fielder who will need to hit and hit for power to be a big league regular"
Jim Callis, MLB.com
26. Alex Blandino, third baseman, Stanford: "A proven college hitter"
33. Michael Kopech, righthanded pitcher, Mount Pleasant (Texas) High School: "Serious helium"
Keith Law, ESPN.com
26. Blandino: "Very good hand-eye coordination and decent bat speed… Shows some power during batting practice, but that hasn't translated into games yet"
(Law did not project beyond the end of the first round — the No. 27 overall pick.)
Baseball Prospectus
26. Blandino: "The Red Sox want to pick up a college bat before turning their attention to the wealth of high school pitchers available in the 30-50 range"
33. Kopech: "The Red Sox are fixed on the high school pitching depth at this spot, and Kopech continues to rise draft boards this spring"

Netflix Queue Update: A Christmas Movie for Every Occasion One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of every month is to update my Netflix queue with the latest additions. Since it's December, there are plenty of new movies dedicated to the holidays and there is definitely something for every type of audience.
15 DIY Ideas and Inspiration for a Modern Thanksgiving Table It seems that after Halloween the holiday flood gates open, but there's still Thanksgiving somewhere in there. It's nice to have a day to gather with family and friends and be thankful for what we have before we sit down to make our wish lists. If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year and you want to freshen up the traditions a bit, here's 15 DIY ideas and inspiration for a modern Thanksgiving table.
Stelle Audio Pillar: Sleek Bluetooth Sound & Phone Solution Tech Test Lab Review Product: Stelle Audio Pillar Price: $299 Rating: Recommend* There is no shortage of bluetooth speakers available right now, so the ones that stand out have to have a little something extra. That could be more features, a fantastic design aesthetic, or incredible sound quality at a reasonable price. The Stelle Audio Pillar easily meets two out of these three.
Weekend Movie Night: Superheroes Streaming on Netflix Superheroes are kind of a thing right now. Since their creation, the masked and spandexed men and women of Marvel and DC have existed in our pop culture on some level, but right now, they're really having a big moment. Why not catch up on the archive via Netflix?
What Kim Kardashian Taught Me About Life In case you haven't heard, this Kim Kardashian game is sweeping the nation, and currently holding down the number one spot on iTunes' free apps chart. I downloaded it, thanks to an insatiable curiosity and chronic fear of missing out, and guess what? It's way more fun than it has any reason to be. After three days of making my way up to the "D" list, I've come away with 27,300 virtual fans and a handful of real lessons about life at home. Place tongue firmly in cheek and read on.
Holy Premium Channels: Where To Stream HBO & Showtime Shows Tonight HBO and Amazon joining forces caused a big shakeup in the TV world — in part because people were so annoyed that Game of Thrones wasn't included in the deal. But do not fear! When Netflix and Showtime announced their deal in 2011, Dexter wasn't part of the lineup, but now you can happily stream all eight seasons on Netflix.
Netflix Memory Lane: 5 Shows from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s Yes, there is some crazy great stuff on television right now. Game of Thrones. Fargo. Orphan Black. But sometimes it's just fun to see where our media has come from. Some of the best shows wouldn't be on today without the work of these old school predecessors.
Ten Don't-Miss Classic Movies to Stream on Amazon Prime Tonight It's easy to forget that Amazon Prime is good for more than just super fast shipping. With a huge library of movies and TV streaming on demand, including some original titles, it's an added benefit for when you've exhausted your Netflix queue.
Escape the Winter Doldrums: Netflix Picks to Watch Tonight Are you frozen? After weeks of temps hovering near or below zero, I'm officially over winter. These freezing conditions are good for one thing, though: sitting in my sweats on the couch with Netflix.
The Ultimate Home Show for Tech Lovers: Gadget Man Moss lovers rejoice! On a recent trip to the United Kingdom, I discovered my favorite new home and design TV show: Gadget Man. The BBC 4 program gives host Richard Ayoade (Moss from the hilarious IT Crowd) access to the weirdest, coolest and most innovative home technologies, and he tests them out in real life situations like painting a room, designing a nursery, or going camping. Good news, you can watch it too — and you definitely need to.

The Laika Charm Offensive: Exploring The Sameness of The Boxtrolls and ParaNorman
Features By Adam Bellotto on January 20, 2015 | Be the First To CommentStop-motion wunderstudio Laika's latest film, The Boxtrolls, hits the DVD/Blu-Ray market today. You should see The Boxtrolls (if you haven't already, that is). It's sweet, it's extremely strange and its tremendous stop-motion visuals are more than worth whatever viewing fees might be required up front. But if there's been one complaint I found in this tale of boy, girl, cheese and an army of cardboard-clad trolls, it'd be this: the film suffers from story issues. Well, story "issue," in the singular. That issue being: The Boxtrolls is the exact same movie as ParaNorman. Before you say anything- yes, there are obvious differences between the two films. ParaNorman is set in the world you and I inhabit, while The Boxtrolls takes place in the fictional quasi-victorian isle of Cheesebridge. ParaNorman deals with witches, ghosts and zombies, while The Boxtrolls' one supernatural element hews to the titular trolls. Also, ParaNorman's intrepid boy hero is voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee while The Boxtrolls chose a different hyphenated teen actor, Isaac Hempstead-Wright. But dig past the superficial and into the pungent inner layers of The Boxtrolls, and you'll find that every point the film's trying to make is a point already made by ParaNorman. And a point better made by ParaNorman. Allow me to explain.
2014: A Remarkable, Exciting Year for Animation
Best of 2014 By Daniel Walber on December 15, 2014 | Be the First To Comment2014 was a marvelous, thrilling year for feature-length animation. While such a good crop is never easy to predict, the early shot in the arm that was The LEGO Movie certainly set the tone. That the first real critical hit of the year was an animated feature, released in the dead of February amidst Oscar season, the RoboCop remake and The Monuments Men, is a significant thing. Just a cursory look at the 2014 films that qualify for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature should put a smile on your face, even if some were panned and others seem obscure. From the best of American studio fare to The Tale of Princess Kaguya, perhaps the year's most evident masterpiece, there's been a lot to celebrate.
Saturday Morning Cartoon: Watch Laika Studios' First and Only Short Film
Features By Daniel Walber on September 28, 2014 | Be the First To CommentLaika is an animation studio in the ascendant. Both Coraline and ParaNorman, their first two features, were financially successful Oscar nominees. It would be shocking if The Boxtrolls didn't follow suit, on both counts. The intricate detail of their animation is often witty, warm and breathtaking all in the same moment. No frame is left empty or drab, no opportunity for creativity left behind. That all of this is done using 3D stop-motion makes it seem all the more artful. This is not to say that what Pixar does on computers is any less creative than what Laika does with physical sets and models, but there is certainly a difference in the way the audience relates to the work. Pixar mimics the real world in many cases, focusing on the exact rendering of Princess Merida's hair in Brave rather than venturing into abstraction. Laika creates universes that enchant through their artifice, rather than in spite of it. Besides, it wouldn't be too controversial a position to state that all three of Laika's films are better than all of the last three Pixar features. All of that said, take a second and imagine what a Laika film would be like if it were made using computer animation instead of stop-motion. At one point they were planning on a CG feature called Jack & Ben's Animated Adventure but it was dropped in 2008 in the context of a major layoff of the company's employees. When they were founded, all the way back in 2005, it wasn't clear that stop-motion would become the primary product. At that point […]
'The Boxtrolls' Review: Absolutely Delightful
Movie Reviews By Neil Miller on September 25, 2014 | Be the First To CommentOver the course of the past few weeks I've been reading more and more about Buddhism, or more appropriately the buddha dharma. It's been a long time since I've been very interested in any religious system, but there is something I find fascinating about the teachings of Buddhism. Mostly, it's hard to deny the effects of living in the moment. Being in the here-and-now and how that can improve one's experience as we live our lives in a world obsessed with distraction. I find similarities in the micro-sense when it comes to the way we consume movies. Not only are we blessed with an abundance of choice, but we now consume cinema in a variety of environments, some quite distracting, and on a number of screen sizes. Imagine the man watching a movie on his iPad in a coffee shop. Sure, he's got his fancy noise-canceling headphones on, but he's easily distracted by push notifications at the top of his screen and life bustling about around him. That movie has no chance of being truly enjoyed as it was intended, regardless of its quality. These are imperfect moments in our moviegoing journey. Availability and access trump the search for that perfect, quiet, shared experience. One might ask whether all movies — especially the overwhelming majority of sequels, remakes and marketing-first fare — even deserve our full attention. They do, but that's not the point. Plenty of movies don't inspire us to be in the moment, so we watch them on […]
35 Things We Learned from the 'Coraline' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on September 25, 2014 | Be the First To CommentStop-motion animation is a dying art of cinema. Fortunately, the good folks at Laika have been keeping the artistry alive for years. The Boxtrolls is their latest selection to come to theaters, but the process started with Coraline in 2009 and then ParaNorman in 2012. While these movies have not been a mega-money-makers that we see with the Pixar and DreamWorks films, Laika's films have made enough money to justify making more of the movies, and that's a great thing for cinema. Coraline, based on Neil Gaiman's visionary book, started the Laika ball rolling, and at the helm was The Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick. For the 2009 Blu-ray and DVD release of the film, Selick sat down to talk over the film and give some personal insight. Composer Bruno Coulais is also listed as one of the commentators, and he does show up over the final credits to talk about the music, but almost the entirety of the film features Selick's commentary. This is where pretty much all the relevant information comes from.
'The Boxtrolls' Trailer: Meet A Hero Named Eggs
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 12, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWhen you watch The Boxtrolls trailer, you'll notice a lot of connections. The most obvious are Coraline and ParaNorman because Laika has maintained a similar visual style throughout all of its young adult adventures. But it also feels slightly like Monsters, Inc. meets The Fraggles by way of Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Or maybe like mutant Minions who raise a human child. You'll also notice that this movie looks absolutely fantastic. Check out the trailer for yourself:
'The Boxtrolls' Teaser Is an Important Lesson About Families as Well as a Visual Delight
Movie News By Nathan Adams on July 3, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWith the current cover of 'The New Yorker' sparking online debate as to whether or not it's appropriate to teach our children about same sex couples, or at least at what age it's appropriate to start introducing them to the concept, the new trailer for Laika's next stop-animated motion picture, The Boxtrolls, seems to have come along at just the right time. It takes a stab at the issue itself, and serves as an important reminder that it's possible to frame messages of tolerance to children in a way that doesn't need to include addressing issues of sexuality that their tiny, under-formed brains can't yet comprehend. But the heartwarming message that families come in all shapes and sizes isn't the only thing The Boxtrolls has to offer. Oh, no. If you've seen the previous two features Laika has produced, Coraline and ParaNorman, then you know that they make beautiful pictures that are so visually dense and have such an attention to detail that they're able to dazzle the eyeballs as well as reward multiple viewings. And from just this minute long vignette, it's clear that their latest offering is going to be no different.
'ParaNorman' Set Visit Teases What May Be the Year's Most Impressive Animated Movie
Features By Rob Hunter on August 17, 2012 | Be the First To CommentEditor's note: With FSR favorite ParaNorman opening today, we thought it was only appropriate to re-post our very special set visit from the film, originally posted on May 21, 2012. I recently visited a nondescript building outside Portland, Oregon that would feel right at home in any corporate office park in America. Nothing about the bland, uninteresting exterior even hinted at what to expect beyond the front doors. There's no sign outside to tell you where you are. No iconic sculptures alluding to what they do inside. Nothing at all that even hints at the harmonious blend of magic and technology within. But make no mistake, what LAIKA Studios is hiding inside those four generic-looking walls is nothing short of a revolution in film production…a revolution 115 years in the making. LAIKA is the studio behind 2009's critical and commercial hit, Coraline, a film that utilized creepy but beautiful stop-motion puppetry to tell Neil Gaiman's dark childhood fable. Their follow-up feature is an original work called ParaNorman. It's an Amblin-like tale of a small New England town, a very special boy who can see and talk with the dead, and a zombie uprising that threatens to destroy them all. And yes, it's a comedy. Keep reading for a peek behind the scenes of LAIKA Studios' upcoming production, ParaNorman, and their secret, high-tech weapon…Rapid Prototype 3D printers.
'ParaNorman' Directors Chris Butler and Sam Fell Break All the Rules
Features By Jack Giroux on August 16, 2012 | Be the First To Comment"An episode of Scooby-Doo directed by Sam Raimi" is how directors Chris Butler and Sam Fell describe ParaNorman. Their horror-comedy wears its influences proudly. From the John Hughes-esque ensemble to Jon Brion's whimsical take on a John Carpenter score, it's all obvious. Tonally, ParaNorman doesn't share much in common with LAIKA Studio's Coraline, a far darker movie. And not only is ParaNorman different from Henry Selick's film in content, but also in terms of production. Butler and Fell didn't want to approach ParaNorman as a stop-motion picture, as they saw the technical restrictions in going that route. Instead, they approached the film as if it was live-action, and it shows in the film's scope and playful camerawork. According to Butler and Fell, they didn't want to play by the rules of stop-motion. Here's what ParaNorman directors Chris Butler and Sam Fell had to say about the film's epic production, how The French Connection and Ronin influenced their zombie car chase, and the future of stop-motion:
Get Ready to Battle Zombies, Ghosts, and Ghoulies With a Charming 'ParaNorman' Prize Pack
Free Stuff By Kate Erbland on August 7, 2012 | Comments (105)This contest is now closed. Thank you for entering! Laika Entertainment returns to screens with their first new film since their Academy Award-nominated Coraline with Sam Fell and Chris Butler's ParaNorman, a charming as all get-out 3D stop-motion comedy thriller about a boy with some very special (and very weird) capabilities. Young Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) doesn't have a friend in the world – a living friend that is – because he can talk to ghosts and witches and, as it turns out, zombies. Those skills might not fly in the American middle school, but they certainly come in handy when his town (already saddled with a witch-hunting past) is overrun by the brain-eaters. To get you ready to battle whatever monsters who might wander into your town, we're giving away one (1) prize packs from ParaNorman to one (that is 1) lucky winner. The grand prize pack includes: a $25 Visa gift card, a t-shirt, a keychain, a notebook, a pair of slippers (like Norman's own), a toothbrush (also just like Norman's!), and a backpack. To win one (1) prize pack from Sam Fell and Chris Butler's ParaNorman, all you have to do is jump down into the comments section and let us know what your favorite old school horror film is (Norman is a big fan of classic thrillers and chillers). Please also provide your email address in your comment. This contest is only open to U.S. residents. The contest will close on Wednesday, August 15th, at […]
Full 'ParaNorman' Trailer: He's Not Like Other Kids
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 2, 2012 | Comments (1)The latest film from the makers of Coraline, Laika's ParaNorman has a lot to live up to – fortunately, the studio's next film looks to be just as sweet, funny, and damn dark as their first. Starring Kodi Smit-McPhee as the voice of Norman, he's just not like other kids – he's got wacky hair, his parents don't understand him, he doesn't really have a lot of friends. Oh, and he can see dead people. And he's cool with it. "AbNorman," as the mean kids at school call him, might be a little lonely, but with spirits swirling around him, he's never alone. And hopefully, Norman's prowess with the undead will work beyond just everyday ghosts, because his town is about to be besieged by zombies and witches. Oh, my. The film is one of our Most Anticipated Movies of the year, thanks to the strength of its first teaser and also, just how damn cute Norman is. The full trailer is finally here, and while it's less atmospheric than the teaser, it does let us into Norman's life, complete with a trainwreck pal, a cool sister, those parents who just don't get him, the mean kids at school, and ghosts and zombies aplenty. Get hip to Norman's lifestyle and watch the full trailer after the break.
