It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Demi Lovato Jokes That She 'Should Get a Boob Job'
Demi Lovato is showing just how far she has come since her days of struggling over her body image, even going so far as to make a joke at her own expense over how she looks!
Demi Lovato is showing just how far she has come since her days of struggling over her body image, even going so far as to make a joke at her own expense over how she looks!
Poor Demi Lovato most likely isn't regretting her decision to leave the 'X Factor' now.
On last night's finale (Dec. 19), the show decided to make a gag reel of Demi drinking a mysterious beverage throughout t
It seems Demi Lovato may be leaving her judge and mentor position on the 'X Factor' to focus on her music career.
There's no time like the present. That's the deeper message behind Demi Lovato's 'Neon Lights.' This is our breakdown of the meaning of the song.
Selena Gomez accompanied her former Disney pal Demi Lovato on a rehab speaking engagement recently, in a major show of support for Lovato's continued recovery. But that's just how things are between the gorgeous, famous ladies. It's give and take, like sisters.
Formerly troubled songstress Demi Lovato sat down to talk to 'Access Hollywood' about her past and the most recent topic of discussion was her self-harm.
Selena Gomez is a really good friend. How do we know this, since we're not personally BFFs with her? Well, she went to rehab with her pal Demi Lovato!
Demi Lovato is a hair and style chameleon, but she always manages to look like herself -- she's never forcing anything. Aside from her multitude of looks, she also has multiple talents ... and multiple issues that eventually led to rehab. She opened up about everything to Nylon.
Demi Lovato has nabbed the cover of the January issue of Nylon, showing off her blue, ombre hair and wearing mixed prints and mixed materials.

Richard Martinez tells Anderson Cooper its time for Congress to address gun violence
Richard Martinez, the father of UCSB shooting victim Chris Martinez, has a message to Congress: stop calling him and do something.
Martinez, who slammed "irresponsible politicians and the NRA" in the wake of his son's death, told Anderson Cooper Tuesday night that he would not take phone calls from Congresspeople until something was done addressing gun violence.

"I know you've had people reach out to you, people from Capitol Hill," Cooper said. "What is your message to them, what is your message of what needs to change?"
"I've had Congresspeople call me and express their condolences and sympathy and when that's happened, I've told them, don't call me and tell me you're sorry about my son's death," Martinez said.

"I don't want to hear it from you. I don't want to hear that you're sorry about my son's death, I don't care if you're sorry about my son's death," he said. "You go back to Congress and you do something, and you come back to me and tell me you've done something, then I'll be interested in talking to you."
Cooper asked Martinez if he would be open to reaching out to the shooter's family.
"For the rest of my life, in the honor of my son, I will do anything I can," he said. "I'll go anywhere, I will talk to anybody to change this."

HELP! A name for Colin's sister - stylish, sophisticated
I recently scrapped the names I have been considering and I'm starting over. I'm having a girl whose big brother is named Colin James. I love his name and it was so easy to choose. I'm really struggling with my DD's name.
Names I like:
Ella - worried about the popularity
Eleanor - nn Ella/Ellie/Elle
Jane - worried she might be bored with it?
Charlotte - husband hates it
I included the names I like merely as a reference to what I'm drawn to; I want something stylish but still sophisticated and a "real" name not anything made up or too trendy. Open to any and all suggestions and feedback. Thanks!!

Wednesday, Nov. 5 - Friday, Dec. 12
Silver Center for the Arts
Reception: Wednesday, November 5, 4 - 6 p.m.
Throughout the continent of Africa, people use cloth to speak for them. Whether the fabric represents religious affiliation, age, class status, ethnic membership, or political association, what one wears is one's identity. Woven or dyed, imported or locally produced, wrapped, tied, or tailored—all clothing speaks clearly in the many African languages. Demonstrating ancient traditions or contemporary fads, African peoples use cloth to celebrate the vibrancy of life's rituals from birth to death. Co-curated by Philip Peek, professor emeritus of anthropology at Drew University, and Anthropology of Religion, Ritual, and Myth students.

A Fitting End For Braylon Edwards in New York
Braylon Edwards' brief career in New York has come to a fitting end.
Epic Fail: The Wide Receiver Draft Class Of 2012
The 2012 draft and the following season proved, yet again, that high-priced wide receivers are little more than Shiny Hood Ornaments, the most overvalued position in all of sports. We review an ugly, ugly year for teams that chased wide receivers in the draft.
Tennessee Titans: the biggest losers of Round 1
The Titans wasted more picks on Shiny Hood Ornament wide receivers over the past 10 drafts than any other team, with predictably disastrous results. They doubled down on that failed philosophy again in the first round of 2012.
Randy Moss to 49ers: right deal, right time
The Shiny Hood Ornament Man Laws tells us that teams should chase wide receivers only when all the other elements of success are in place. San Francisco is one of those teams.

|I've got a few recipes I want to try and have 4 quarts of strawberries (plus a few handfuls from my own garden), 2 half pints of raspberries, 2 quarts of blueberries and a few peaches. I wanted to make a mixed fruit jam, maybe the strawberry/raspberry and I do have a recipe for that. If I wanted, could I add some of the other fruit as long as I follow the fruit to sugar to pectin ratio that it calls for? Thanks in advance for what is probably a repetetive question. Lori
Follow-Up Postings:
|Yes, you can combine them. I would follow the recipe for the fruit you use the most of. If equal amounts, read both sets of ingredients and keep the ratios the same.
With the fruits you listed, you shouldn't have any problems as they all set well.
Jam is low risk if proper canning methods are used. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't set (then we call it syrup), or it sets too firmly (heat and use as a glaze or still as jam).
- Posted by gardengalrn 5KS (My Page) on Wed, Jun 22, 11 at 17:18
|Thanks so much, I did go ahead and make the strawberry-rasp jam but do have intentions to make a few combos in the near future. The strawberry/rasp jam was the best I've ever made and definitely delish. Lori
- Posted by readinglady z8 OR (My Page) on Wed, Jun 22, 11 at 18:46
|You could always try Old Bachelor's Jam. There are many versions, some with liqueur and some not. This one from Martha Stewart will give you the basic idea.
Here is a link that might be useful: Old Bachelor's Jam
|raspberry peach is an awesome combination
|If you use a low methoxy pectin (Pomona's), any combination of fruit, sugar to taste, whatever you'd like to do, and it will set perfectly. I know because I've done it multiple times, never an issue. Low methoxy pectin does not depend on the sugar to set, so adds far more flexibility.

I love, love, love this pattern. It's the Fitted Sheath Dress 06/2012 #129 and it is sooooo flexible, in terms of silhouette. I shortened it significantly to make it celebration-ready, and added a little side panel in contrast-brocade to add a little hip/butt/thigh wiggle room – we were going dancing.
(please excuse my face – this were taken after pregaming)
I used some non-silk brocade from my local fabric store – soooooooooo pretty!

With the new crit change, I don't see a reason to build him with heavy crits anymore. Once you get above 50%, the game will ensure that you crit every 2nd hit, etc. It's consistent enough that you should be able to focus on other stats.
Since he can get crit chance from being low HP, you are pretty much guaranteed a relatively high crit rate even with very modest critical strike score on his items. So why not build some other stats instead?
Critting more causes him to crit harder, increasing his damage output while also healing him. Is this a serious question?
1. No one actually builds "heavy crit" on Tryndamere.Most of your crit chance comes from you being low health with ult on. Getting 100% crit with items is a waste.
2. All your Tryndamere core crit items scale well with AS and AD. Infinity Edge gives you a ton of attack, Phantom Dancer and Youmuu's gives you a ton of attack speed and moveoment speed. And you get a total of 65% crit, 2.0+ attack speed, and a crapton of attack damage with just those items.
I mean, you can stack Bloodthirsters if you want, but Master Yi and Olaf do it better. And if you want to go for an attack speed build, you might as well use Kogmaw.
Crits are Tryn's realm, don't try to build him any other way.
Yes, it is a very serious question.
The new crit system will make it so your crit becomes very consistent (x% chance will cause you to almost always crit for y hits per z attacks), meaning it is very controllable.
In risk management term, this means that you don't need absurdly high crit chance in order to negate a string of bad luck (30% crit chance in old and new system feels completely different).
Due to this consistency, would it not be better to start grabbing life steal/hp earlier to extend your life and fight at 50% hp (if you have say 3000HP instead of 2000HP, you're still fighting at 1500HP, except you benefit more from your passive).
The problem is more so about what stat to get, and when?
Tryn heals through bloodlust and bloodlust stacks through crits. No crits = no heal+ no attack dmg. I understand the lifesteal but tryn is fine without it heavily. He is built for crit. Crit machine. I cant see it any other way.
Braj Mahal
hard to take this post seriously considering the stupidity of the question along with the fact that the word troll is literally in your name.
Christ, you guys are being intentionally thick.
He obviously realizes that critical strikes are important, as he uses the words "Heavy crit" or "Once you get above 50%", as well as realizes the critical chance gained from being low health.
His question is what time is it best to actually grab more survivability on Trynd, more or less.
Sure...Trynd operates at dangerous levels of health, but having more defensive stats after a solid amount of Crit Chance allows him to live longer at lower health, which would arguably be better than simply stacking crit because "Tryndamere loves Crit Chance"
Pardon my french, but no ****.
Perhaps you could go the tanky DPS route, and experiment around with Atma's Impaler and various other sources of Crit Chance to reach a legitimate amount?

UCSB Wins at Buzzer Against Long Beach State
Finally the Gauchos have a day at the beach. Michael Bryson's put-back at the buzzer gave UCSB a 65-64 win at Long Beach State. The win pulls the Gauchos into a tie for first place in the Big West Conference with UC Irvine at 7-2.
Trailing by one, Alan Williams missed a jump hook but Bryson grabbed the rebound and put it in as the buzzer went off as UCSB improves to 16-6 on the year.
The Gauchos had lost their last five games at Long Beach State and has lost a share of last second games to the 49ers.
Williams had a game-high 16 points while Bryson added 15.
UCSB led by as many as 13 points in the second half before the 49ers stormed back only to lose on Bryson's put-back.

"The Lorax", colorfully animated and wonderfully exuberant, does a great job conveying a Dr. Seuss-esque world, but like always, Hollywood always needs to dumb down the main core of what made the source material such a classic: the message. Instead, Hollywood has managed to fluff the presentation and everything about its style to, altogether, cater to "children's needs". The book, undoubtedly, does a better job, but nevertheless, this film isn't too bad. It's a good time, but I recommend reading the book to your children first before watching an above-average Dr. Seuss adaptation.

Talk about bad storytelling, the plot was split down the middle with little to no encompassing relationships. The Lorax played little to no role, the protagonist and his quest for "love" is about as real as the trees littered in the city of whateverthefuck. The theme is delivered with such... heavy handed simplicity you can't help but feel like patronized. (especially after seeing it done so well with Wall-e)
The music? Forgettable. I'm also embarrassed for the attempted "awe" factor with all the annoyingly voiced forest animals.
All in all I feel sorry for the talented animation/art team that had to work on this piece of crap.

"Meh. That was my first thoughts as the ending credits started rolling. I was under the assumption it was going to be much funnier than it was. I guess that's what happens when they put all the funny moments in the trailers. Oh well. I did think it was cute though. I think Taylor and Zac did a good job. I won't lie, I fell asleep more than once. So perhaps I am not someone who can fairly judge the film on it's entirety. But I got most of it. So take away what you will from these thoughts of mine. It could have been better and I could have tried harder to stay awake. But neither happened. So that's all."

Dr. Seuss movies don't really translate to movies as well as they probably could. "Grinch" was ok, and "Cat in the Hat" was down right terrible. Here the "Lorax" is in the middle. The animation is fantastic, and the characters voices are done good. But the story is a bit muddled with kind of an abrupt ending. Actually this could have been called something like "Saving the Trees", because the Lorax is more of a background character. Movie is about a city where all the trees are fake. A girl asks a boy to get her a real tree, and he sets out to find one. On his journey he comes across the Once-Ler who tells him the story of the Lorax, and things go from there. Kids will probably love this, and may even want to plant a tree. But adults will do a lot of eye rolling, and looking at their watches. I've seen much, much worse. But, if you want to enjoy an animated movie with your children, then you can do better. Still worth a watch, and maybe over time it could grow on me. But for now, it just didn't work for me.

Dear God this was yet another appalling kids film that talks down to "our future". This is such a huge pile of disgusting drivel I don't even know where to begin. The Lorax sees a town that lives in a huge bubble where everything is made of plastic. One boy goes out to find a real tree so he can bang some chick. He comes across The Once-Ler, theman responsible for the lack of trees who proceeds to tell him the tale of where they all went. The animation is colourful but surprisingly dull. All the characters look so tacky and cheap. I couldn't be absorbed at all. The film treats children like idiots, with obnoxious Alvin and the Chipmunk sound-alike fish and entire scenes with no purpose but to make the kids go "OOOOOH" at the 3D. This wouldn't be all that bad (well it would), but the film also has a serious message that it wants you to consider. Can you have it both ways? The original TV short and the book are charming which helps with the heavy handed message. The film also makes a huge mistake in introducing a ridiculous comedic antagonist. The film doesn't need one. WE should be the antagonists and forced to face the state of the world. By making some guy control the air itlets us completely off the hook. We also have characters such as the 'cool' granny to just make sure any attempts at comedy die where they stand. The songs are some of the most dreadful, both lyrically and musically that I've ever heard. You wouldn't believe some of the things they try and get away with. Finally, the narrative structure is a mess. Not surprising based on the length of the book. The original story was told to us, by giving this role to an actual character (who is only doing it for a girl) it once again undermines the story, as does the happy ending. I don't have to do anything now as the story was resolved. It's painful to see things like this happen to great stories. Watch a beautiful animation with a message in Wall-E.

Much, much better then I was expecting. Great for kids, fun for adults. Fun for all ages. A must see family movie.
Making a movie for this short story was definitely a major risk-taker, but the producers, in my mind, achieved every aspect of the story we grew know and love. The animation was spot on, both realistic and playful. Designs was everything Dr. Seuss, from the strange shaped buildings to harmonizing goldfish. The characters were wonderful, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift delivering very believable scenes, despite the odd pairing. I've seen many negative reviews for this movie, but keep in mind that this film was aiming at a younger audience, but it is still excellent for the older crowd. It is a major environmental film that proves the harsh reality of human brutality, a very controversial topic even today. Also, movies like these are usually taken differently by various viewers, but as long as you don't compare the movie to the original story of The Lorax, this new adaption is actually very good. It has its moments of humor, romance, music, suspense, and morality, and is a definite crowd pleaser. Go see it, I recommended it.
In the town of Thneedville, a walled city, everything is artificial even the trees. And the air is provided by the O'Hare Corporation for a price. Ted, a young man who likes a girl named Audrey who wants to see a real tree. And thinking that if he can find it will win her affections. So he talks to his mother and grand mother about it and his grandmother tells him to seek out someone called The Once-ler, which he does. He asks The Once-ler what happened to the trees, he tells Ted that it began when he wanted to create something he called Thneed. So he set out to find the material he needs to make it. And when he comes across a forest with trees with the most beautiful leaves, he thinks this is it. So he chops a tree down but then a creature who calls himself The Lorax who says he speaks for the trees and all the creature s in the forest, and he says that what he is doing--chopping down a tree is wrong. But he ignores him. He then stops talking and tells Ted to come back tomorrow. But when Ted tries to go out, O'Hare who knows what Ted is doing--trying to find a tree, tells him to stop it cause it could ruin O'Hare's business. So he makes sure Ted can go out. So Ted tries to find another way.

Based extremely loosely on the Dr Seuss story of the same name and as usual with Hollywood they have fudged it all up.
The story is an environmental one, an eco plot if you will about the effects of cutting down trees. Put simply (just like the original book did) there is a small town which is gloomy and polluted. The reason for this is because all the trees were chopped down to mass market 'thneeds' by the one they call 'Once-ler'. 'Once-ler' tells a young boy the whole story of how he destroyed all the trees to create his 'thneeds' and ignored the advice and warnings of the 'Lorax', guardian of the trees.
'Once-ler' regrets his actions and gives the young boy a tree seed to plant so that trees may return as well as the 'Lorax'. There is a bit more to it but that is the basic premise.
So what does Hollywood do you ask? well do you really need to ask? I'm sure you can all guess but I'll tell you anyway. Hollywood strips the story down and refits it with tripe filler and made up characters to fill out a decent length run time. Throw in some ridiculous vehicle chase sequences, cliched slapstick and jokes and some hideous musical numbers and there you have it, typical Hollywood trash.
Now I will admit the film looks lovely, full of bright bold colours, its cheerful, light hearted and with some nice CGI animation. BUT the lesson has been diluted and cluttered by fancy ass visuals and 'action' sequences. Yes there is still a nice message within the film, the finale shows what can be done if they jettison the crapola but that's only about a 3min sequence out of an entire film!.
I simply cannot understand why they thought to create new characters!. The new character 'Aloysius O'Hare' is REALLY annoying too, he just looks annoying, making him short...yeah that's not funny.
I realise they needed to fill the story to reach a reasonable film run time but if that can't be done then don't do it. Maybe try another route, don't just make a whole load of stuff up!. 'Once-ler' was suppose to be faceless, a boogieman like equivalent of modern faceless companies/corporations that destroy nature for their gain. You can't uproot that, that's the whole point!.
The world where this takes place isn't named, plus it isn't some bright, colourful, 'Willy Wonka' type place with fancy technology!!. I see what they did with that sure but why?? stop changing the whole premise!!, it all looks like something outta 'Despicable Me'.
Of course we don't know how Seuss would take to it but I'm pretty sure the original fable wasn't meant to include futuristic vehicles, buildings, 'Once-ler' playing guitar, airship things and some god awful songs including the now obligatory hip hop pop song for the final credits which happens for almost all kids films now (more manufactured faceless nobodies singing forgettable songs that will fade into obscurity as quickly as they appeared).
I like the fact that Hollywood has tried to put across a good message...of sorts. I'm sure they are more concerned about another franchise to milk that will rake in the moolah but the initial positive effort is there. If only this could of been done more down to earth, with a little more sense towards the source material and maybe in a different media (stop motion would have been nice, Selick directing perhaps?).
At the end of the day its merely been mutated into another flashy, churned out, in your face CGI flick (in 3D -_-). How ironic, a polluted vision of Dr Seuss' simple little tale, such a shame.
Ignore this, stick to the original book or 1972 TV special, don't deny your children these.

Vibrant and colorful, but oh-so-unfunny! I can't honestly recall a single moment where The Lorax made me laugh. Not even a hearty chuckle or a related thought of amusement. And clearly I'm not alone in being underwhelmed by this film.
I've never read any of the children's books by the beloved Dr. Seuss, but I can scarcely imagine this doing any kind of justice to the original story. It means well I'm sure, but the eco-friendly message at its core holds no subtlety whatsoever, while simulatenously struggling to be hip, in an obvious attempt to keep the tweens from reaching for their cell phones.
They overdo it bit also with the inherent bubbliness; sharing similarities with what often feels like a random episode of The Teletubbies. Not much positive can be said about the voice cast either. Danny De Vito, whom I will forever remember for his fantastic performance as Philoctetes in Disney's Hercules, is squandered here among his lesser talented co-stars.
Corporate greed, pollution, our nature dying - all essential issues in their own right, but clumsily executed in this second-rate animation flick. It desperately wants to achieve what Wall-E did way better, years before it.
Passable entertainment-wise and worth a look, but I can now clearly establish that The Lorax doesn't spring from the flamboyant streets of Thneed-ville; it comes from a little place called "Tries-too-hard".

It's perhaps a little over-complicated and not as pure and simple as the original story, the message is still there but as much as I loved the Bears and the Fish etc, they really should come second to the classic story but they don't, they are the best bits.

For the most part, it's hard to go wrong with animated feature films. Even the lesser offerings can generate enough entertainment value to make the movie passable. Then there's "The Lorax", which represents a rare, but resounding whiff for the genre. The animation is probably the film's only strength. The story is an adaptation of a Dr. Seuss tale, but everything is so uninspired and phoned in, that it quickly becomes apparent that Univeral was just cashing in on the source material. The characters are bland and forgettable, while the musical numbers regress from annoying to down right embarrassing. The part of "The Lorax" that I probably resent the most, is the environmental agenda that's forced down the viewer's throat throughout the whole mess. I guess the same message is evident in the Dr. Seuss story, so I should have known better. The true gauge for how good these movies are is the reaction of the little people, and all of kids in attendance, seemed as unamused as I was. So there you have it. Unless you're a hippie, you might want to avoid "The Lorax". Go chop down a tree instead.

Colorful fun magical tale with a meaningful message. The eye candy 3D animation, punchy musical numbers, cute cartoon animals and the brief appearances of the Lorax himself - make this a special movie indeed. I loved it!

The Lorax is a mixed bag. There are some bright spots. The animation is vivid and there are a trio of fish that sing in unison with amusing high pitched vocals. They are memorable. They're reminiscent of character types in early Max Fleischer shorts. But the Lorax himself, which should have been a tragic figure, is an annoying pain every time he shows up here with a lecture. The movie is a product of our modern age. I'll admit I was amused by the irony of a film warning against the dangers of consumerism in a movie that totally represents that mentality. The 3D computer graphics are oddly inappropriate for a story about going back to basics. The script is like a result of some focus group trying hard to be hip. Phrases like "You rule Grandma!" or "I know, right?!" are so distinctly 2012 that they betray the timeless quality of the original message. Dr. Seuss adaptations have been historically difficult. The Cat in the Hat remains one of the worst aberrations of the source material ever made. Yet these are the same scribes that adapted Horton Hears a Who! and that was rather charming. The Lorax isn't a horrible picture. It's a vibrant, colorful spectacle that is pleasant enough. The pro-environment moral is well intentioned. But the simplicity of the book is missing. In its place is a heavy handed tale of corporate greed that feels labored and somewhat joyless.

A feast for the eyes but completely unsubtle in its message. Full review later.

'The Lorax' is a heartfelt animation flick with good voice acting and catchy songs, but the visuals are nothing you haven't seen before and the 3-D is next to meaningless. It has snippets of funny parts, but usually falls flat when trying to get some clever jokes across. It's never annoying, never too boring, and never disinteresting, but its not unique or fresh enough to earn any major praise.

The makers of The Lorax must've thought they had a no-brainer on their hands. Dr. Seuss has an already established fanbase, both adults and children love his stories, and previous film adaptations of his books have done extraordinarily well at the box office. So maybe they skipped some of the writers staff meetings, or maybe they let the animators throw in some of their own comedy ideas, or maybe they didn't think about the actual movie they had to create. Whatever the case, The Lorax lacks. In a society made entirely of plastic, a boy (Zac Efron) has a crush on a hippy girl (Taylor Swift, who's actually pretty bad here) who loves trees. The boy wants to impress her, so he goes off on a search for the very last tree. In the wasteland of the outside world, he finds the home of the Once-ler (Ed Helms), who tells him the tale of the trees and their guardian, the Lorax. Of course the evil, greedy, stereotypical, corporate businessman (Rob Riggle) is going to do everything in his power to hold his monopoly on air, so he tries to thwart the kid and his girlfriend. The Lorax comes off as a pastiche of other environmentally conscious cartoons, from Wall-E to even Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. Even the animation is pretty generic looking. It feels like they're not even trying. And in the world of children's entertainment, there are few crimes worse than sullying the good name of Dr. Seuss. This may have been one of the few rare instances where my one year-old daughter (fascinated by all the flash and pretty colors up on the screen) wanted to watch a movie and daddy wanted to leave. But as a parent, I know there are better cartoons for my child than this crummy, souless movie.
