Choosing the Right Web Design Agency
Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of creating and launching a new website is choosing the right web design agency. There are many, many design companies out there looking for work, and i
"THANK YOU didn't seem to express my gratitude enough for Louisa's help and creativity on our project! She was excellent and so easy to work with, and really made understanding our goals her priority–something so rare to find these days!"
"Louisa's video was the best piece of marketing to explain and promote our PAYS model that we've ever had since creating this program over 20 years ago."
"Thank you so much for all your hard work, Louisa!"
"Thrilled with how it turned out."
"The video turned out really well. Louisa did a wonderful job!"
"Working with Louisa was effortless—she instantly grasped what we were hoping to achieve through our whiteboard video and the few edits that we did have to the final project were made speedily and without hesitation. We were operating under a shortened timeframe due to holiday travel and an upcoming Board meeting, but Louisa produced a truly fantastic piece of art for our use well before the deadline.
It is very difficult to please my Board of Directors. Louisa's video received a round of applause when debuted at our first Board meeting of 2018. I could not be more thrilled with the video or Louisa's services. I will be using CCA at the first opportunity in the future! THANK YOU!"
"Louisa, thank you for all your work (and patience) as we brought our whiteboards to completion. You'll find our English version proudly displayed on HUD's main page in the slideshow. Yay you!"
"Working with Louisa has been wonderful -- this entire process was so seamless and I couldn't be more happy with the end result. I really appreciate all of her help as well as her excellent work."
"Everyone at the gala loved the animation! We made over 507K! Thank you again for all your wonderful work."
"Louisa's video introduced A Wellthy You to the World!"
"VERY COOL! I loved her use of color and think we nailed the look and feel of the senior adults."
Whiteboard videos are a great way to engage your web visitor. Your viewer is instantly put at ease due to the casual and informal feel and they continue watching because they want to see the drawing completed and experience the final product. Drawings are a primary and very basic way of communicating and people are drawn (sorry for the pun!) to them. When your viewer is relaxed and engaged, they will take notice and connect with your message and you'll be more likely to make a sale.
Whiteboard animations are completely custom and can be crafted specifically to reflect your branding, but in that folksy, familiar style. Whatever your message or brand, it is reinforced in a positive, fun way. You can't go wrong.
What's the point of putting your message on the web if it's not going to grab people — and let's face it — entertain them? You want to be memorable; you want to sell your product. With whiteboard animation, your message stays with your visitor and they are more likely to remember and choose you over your competitor.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and moving pictures are worth even more! Animations are the exact opposite of text on a page. Viewers connect with the drawings on an immediate and emotional level. Also, search engines take note when people stay on your site to watch your animation, giving your site better rankings.

Information for the city of Trenton
Trenton is the capital city of the U.S. state of New Jersey and the county seat of Mercer County. The city is considered to be within the New York metropolitan area by the United States Census Bureau, but directly borders the Philadelphia metropolitan area and is part of the Federal Communications Commission's Philadelphia Designated Market Area. As of the 2010 United States Census, Trenton had a population of 84,913, making it the state's 10th largest municipality. The Census Bureau estimated that the city's population was 84,349 in 2013. Trenton dates back at least to June 3, 1719, when mention was made of a constable being appointed for Trenton, while the area was still part of Hunterdon County. Boundaries were recorded for Trenton Township as of March 2, 1720,[23] a courthouse and jail were constructed in Trenton around 1720 and the Freeholders of Hunterdon County met annually in Trenton.[24] Trenton became New Jersey's capital as of November 25, 1790, and the City of Trenton was formed within Trenton Township on November 13, 1792.
Trenton Township was incorporated as one of New Jersey's initial group of 104 townships by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. On February 22, 1834, portions of Trenton Township were taken to form Ewing Township. The remaining portion of Trenton Township was absorbed by the City of Trenton on April 10, 1837. A series of annexations took place over a 50 year period, with the city absorbing South Trenton borough (April 14, 1851), portions of Nottingham Township (April 14, 1856), both the Borough of Chambersburg Township and Millham Township (both on March 30, 1888), as well as Wilbur Borough (February 28, 1898). Trenton was a major manufacturing center in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One relic of that era is the slogan "Trenton Makes, The World Takes", which is displayed on the Lower Free Bridge (just north of the Trenton Morrisville Toll Bridge). The city adopted the slogan in 1917 to represent Trenton's then leading role as a major manufacturing center for rubber, wire rope, ceramics and cigars.
Information for the state of New JerseyOnly four states are smaller in size than New Jersey, yet New Jersey ranks ninth in the nation in population and has the highest population density of any U.S. state, facts owing in part to its proximity to both New York City and Philadelphia but also indicative of its economic importance. New Jersey is a major industrial center, an important transportation corridor and terminus, and a long-established playground for summer vacationers. The state is noted for its output of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, machinery, and a host of other products, including electronic equipment, printed materials, and processed foods.
Bayonne is the terminus of pipelines originating in Texas and Oklahoma, and there are oil refineries at Linden and Carteret. New Jersey has been a leader in industrial research and development since the establishment in 1876 of Thomas Edison's research facility in Menlo Park. Color televison, the videotape recorder, and the liquid crystal display were invented in New Jersey corporate research labs. Today telecommunications and biotechnology are major industries in the state, and the area near Princeton has developed into a notable high-tech center. Finance, warehousing, and "big box" retailing have also become important to the state's economy, attracting corporations and shoppers and to a large extent reversing New Jersey's onetime role as a suburb for commuters to New York City and Philadelphia.
In addition to being a center of industry, transportation, and tourism, New Jersey is a leading state in agricultural income per acre. The scrub pine area of the southern inland region is used for cranberry and blueberry culture. North of the pine belt the soil is extremely fertile and supports a variety of crops, most notably potatoes, corn, hay, peaches, and vegetables (especially tomatoes and asparagus). Dairy products, eggs, and poultry are also important. Commercial and residential expansion, however, has taken over much of the state's farmland, and New Jersey is now almost one third developed.

Web Designer Tools and technologies
Web designers use a variety of different tools depending on what part of the production process they are involved in. These tools are updated over time by newer standards and software but the principles behind them remain the same. Web designers use both vector and raster graphics editors to create web-formatted imagery or design prototypes. Technologies used to create websites include W3C standards like HTML and CSS, which can be hand-coded or generated by WYSIWYG editing software. Other tools web designers might use include mark up validators and other testing tools for usability and accessibility to ensure their web sites meet web accessibility guidelines.
Skills and techniques
Marketing and communication design
Marketing and communication design on a website may identify what works for its target market. This can be an age group or particular strand of culture; thus the designer may understand the trends of its audience. Designers may also understand the type of website they are designing, meaning, for example, that (B2B) business-to-business website design considerations might differ greatly from a consumer targeted website such as a retail or entertainment website. Careful consideration might be made to ensure that the aesthetics or overall design of a site do not clash with the clarity and accuracy of the content or the ease of web navigation, especially on a B2B website. Designers may also consider the reputation of the owner or business the site is representing to make sure they are portrayed favorably
User experience design and interactive design
User understanding of the content of a website often depends on user understanding of how the website works. This is part of the user experience design. User experience is related to layout, clear instructions and labeling on a website. How well a user understands how they can interact on a site may also depend on the interactive design of the site. If a user perceives the usefulness of the website, they are more likely to continue using it. Users who are skilled and well versed with website use may find a more distinctive, yet less intuitive or less user-friendly website interface useful nonetheless. However, users with less experience are less likely to see the advantages or usefulness of a less intuitive website interface. This drives the trend for a more universal user experience and ease of access to accommodate as many users as possible regardless of user skill. Much of the user experience design and interactive design are considered in the user interface design.
Advanced interactive functions may require plug-ins if not advanced coding language skills. Choosing whether or not to use interactivity that requires plug-ins is a critical decision in user experience design. If the plug-in doesn't come pre-installed with most browsers, there's a risk that the user will have neither the know how or the patience to install a plug-in just to access the content. If the function requires advanced coding language skills, it may be too costly in either time or money to code compared to the amount of enhancement the function will add to the user experience. There's also a risk that advanced interactivity may be incompatible with older browsers or hardware configurations. Publishing a function that doesn't work reliably is potentially worse for the user experience than making no attempt. It depends on the target audience if it's likely to be needed or worth any risks.
Page layout
Part of the user interface design is affected by the quality of the page layout. For example, a designer may consider whether the site's page layout should remain consistent on different pages when designing the layout. Page pixel width may also be considered vital for aligning objects in the layout design. The most popular fixed-width websites generally have the same set width to match the current most popular browser window, at the current most popular screen resolution, on the current most popular monitor size. Most pages are also center-aligned for concerns of aesthetics on larger screens.
Fluid layouts increased in popularity around 2000 as an alternative to HTML-table-based layouts and grid-based design in both page layout design principle and in coding technique, but were very slow to be adopted. This was due to considerations of screen reading devices and varying windows sizes which designers have no control over. Accordingly, a design may be broken down into units (sidebars, content blocks, embedded advertising areas, navigation areas) that are sent to the browser and which will be fitted into the display window by the browser, as best it can. As the browser does recognize the details of the reader's screen (window size, font size relative to window etc.) the browser can make user-specific layout adjustments to fluid layouts, but not fixed-width layouts. Although such a display may often change the relative position of major content units, sidebars may be displaced below body text rather than to the side of it. This is a more flexible display than a hard-coded grid-based layout that doesn't fit the device window. In particular, the relative position of content blocks may change while leaving the content within the block unaffected. This also minimizes the user's need to horizontally scroll the page.

From road signs to technical schematics, from interoffice memorandums to reference manuals, graphic design enhances transfer of knowledge and visual messages. Readability and legibility is enhanced by improving the visual presentation and layout of text.
Design can also aid in selling a product or idea through effective visual communication. It is applied to products and elements of company identity like logos, colors, packaging, and text. Together these are defined as branding (see also advertising). Branding has increasingly become important in the range of services offered by many graphic designers, alongside corporate identity. Whilst the terms are often used interchangeably, branding is more strictly related to the identifying mark or trade name for a product or service, whereas corporate identity can have a broader meaning relating to the structure and ethos of a company, as well as to the company's external image. Graphic designers will often form part of a team working on corporate identity and branding projects. Other members of that team can include marketing professionals, communications consultants and commercial writers.
Textbooks are designed to present subjects such as geography, science, and math. These publications have layouts which illustrate theories and diagrams. A common example of graphics in use to educate is diagrams of human anatomy. Graphic design is also applied to layout and formatting of educational material to make the information more accessible and more readily understandable.
A graphic design project may involve the stylization and presentation of existing text and either preexisting imagery or images developed by the graphic designer. Artistic pieces can be incorporated in both traditional and digital form, which involves the use of visual arts, typography, and page layout techniques for publications and marketing. For example, a newspaper story begins with the journalists and photojournalists and then becomes the graphic designer's job to organize the page into a reasonable layout and determine if any other graphic elements should be required. In a magazine article or advertisement, often the graphic designer or art director will commission photographers or illustrators to create original pieces just to be incorporated into the design layout. Or the designer may utilize stock imagery or photography. Contemporary design practice has been extended to the modern computer, for example in the use of WYSIWYG user interfaces, often referred to as interactive design, or multimedia design. Another aspect of graphic design is to have good research skills, analyzing a work of art and simultaneously seeing it in new ways. Graphic Design need skills such as power to convince the audience and selling the design. Communication is a key part in graphic design. The process of graphic design include the "process school" which is an approach to the subject that is concerned with the actual process of communication; it especially highlights the channels and media through which messages are transmitted and by which senders and receivers encode and decode. Semiotic School on the other hand, is message as a construction of signs which through interaction with receivers, produces meaning; communication as an agent. The process school is like the way in which a message is brought out to society.

The term whiteboard animation comes from the process of someone drawing on a whiteboard and recording it. The actual effect is a time-lapse, or sometimes stop-motion. Actual animation is rarely used but has been incorporated. Other terms are video scribing, and animated doodling. These video animation styles are now seen in many variations, and have taken a turn into many other animation styles. With the introduction of software to create the whiteboard animations, the process has many different manifestations of varying quality.
Skills and techniques
Marketing and communication design
Marketing and communication design on a website may identify what works for its target market. This can be an age group or particular strand of culture; thus the designer may understand the trends of its audience. Designers may also understand the type of website they are designing, meaning, for example, that (B2B) business-to-business website design considerations might differ greatly from a consumer targeted website such as a retail or entertainment website. Careful consideration might be made to ensure that the aesthetics or overall design of a site do not clash with the clarity and accuracy of the content or the ease of web navigation, especially on a B2B website. Designers may also consider the reputation of the owner or business the site is representing to make sure they are portrayed favorably
Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and the illusion of change[Note 1] by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape, digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced.
Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. Computer animation processes generating animated images with the general term computer-generated imagery (CGI). 3D animation uses computer graphics, while 2D animation are used for stylistic, low bandwidth and faster real time renderings.
Video editing
The term video editing can refer to: The process of manipulating video images. Once the province of expensive machines called video editors, video editing software is now available for personal computers and workstations. Video editing includes cutting segments (trimming), re-sequencing clips, and adding transitions and other Special Effects.
Linear video editing, using video tape and is edited in a very linear way. Several video clips from different tapes are recorded to one single tape in the order that they will appear.
Non-linear editing system (NLE), This is edited on computers with specialised software. These are non destructive to the video being edited and use programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Avid.
Offline editing is the process in which raw footage is copied from an original source, without affecting the original film stock or video tape. Once the editing has been completely edited, the original media is then re-assembled in the online editing stage.
Online editing is the process of reassembling the edit to full resolution video after an offline edit has been performed and is done in the final stage of a video production.
Vision mixing, when working within live television and video production environments. A vision mixer is used to cut live feed coming from several cameras in real time.
Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. Computer animation processes generating animated images with the general term computer-generated imagery (CGI). 3D animation uses computer graphics, while 2D animation are used for stylistic, low bandwidth and faster real time renderings.

Menopause is a time of major hormonal, physical and psychological change for women although menopausal symptoms vary from woman to woman. During the perimenopause or transition phase, a woman's ovaries gradually (over several years) decrease production of estrogen and progesterone. If a woman has her ovaries surgically removed (oophorectomy), periods end abruptly and menopausal symptoms become more severe. One year after menstrual periods have stopped, a woman reaches menopause, on average around the age of 50. From peri-menopause to post-menopause, women report the most sleeping problems. Most notably, these include hot flashes, mood disorders, insomnia and sleep-disordered breathing. Sleep problems are often accompanied by depression and anxiety.
Generally, post-menopausal women are less satisfied with their sleep and as many as 61% report insomnia symptoms. Snoring has also been found to be more common and severe in post-menopausal women. Snoring, along with pauses or gasps in breathing are signs of a more serious sleep disorder, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Changing and decreasing levels of estrogen cause many menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, which are unexpected feelings of heat all over the body accompanied by sweating. They usually begin around the face and spread to the chest affecting 75-85% of women around menopause. Prior to the hot flash, body temperature rises accompanied by an awakening. Hot flashes last on average three minutes leading to less sleep efficiency. Most women experience these for one year, but about 25% have hot flashes for five years. While total sleep time may not suffer, sleep quality does. Hot flashes may interrupt sleep and frequent awakenings cause next-day fatigue.
Treatment with estrogen (Estrogen Replacement Therapy, ERT) or with estrogen and progesterone (Hormone Replacement Therapy, HRT) has been found to help relieve menopausal symptoms. The effects of HRT and ERT vary among women depending on the form taken (pill, patch, gel, cream or injection) and the number of years used. However, recent large-scale U.S. government funded studies, the Women's Health Initiative, were stopped due to safety concerns since it was found that taking HRT may put women at risk for cardiovascular disease and dementia.

There are only two tests of a life well lived, L. Ron Hubbard once remarked: Did one do as one intended? And were people glad one lived? In testament to the first stands the full body of his life's work, including the more than 12,000 writings and 3,000 tape-recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology.
Scientology is a religion in its highest meaning, as it helps bring Man to total freedom and truth. The essential tenets of Scientology are these:
You are an immortal spiritual being.
Your experience extends well beyond a single lifetime. And your capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.
Furthermore, Man is basically good. He is seeking to survive. And his survival depends upon himself and his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.
At the Helm of Scientology's Explosive Growth
David Miscavige is the ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion. From his position as Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center (RTC), Mr. Miscavige bears the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the standard and pure application of L. Ron Hubbard's technologies and Keeping Scientology Working.
The introductory books of Dianetics and Scientology contain new discoveries that you can use to achieve the personal happiness and freedom that come from truly understanding yourself.

Happy holidays folks! Hanukkah is over, and Christmas is just a wee bit away. Right now, I am missing the bit of my family that lives in Hawaii. (Hi, mom!!!) So, because I relate everything to food (Must.Eat.Feelings), I made these Island-style mashed sweet potatoes. Feel free to try this recipe for your family or just make for yourself. Enjoy!
Island-Style Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Time: 45 minutes/ Serves: 4
You will need:
– 2 big ass sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and halved.
– 3 tablespoons coconut manna. (Not oil! Manna.This stuff is so delicious I can't handle it.)
– 1/2 cup fresh squozen OJ.
– ½ tbs cinnamon
– 1tsp ground ginger
– ¼ tsp nutmeg
Step one:
– Bring large pot of water to boil. Add potatoes and boil until tender, approximately 15 minutes.
Step two:
– Drain your potatoes and return to pot. Add your coconut manna, and allow to melt for 30 seconds or so. Add spices, With an immersion blender, begin to blend. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a masher or any other hand mixer. But immersion blenders are far superior!
Step three:
– Once the melted manna is well incorporated, add the citrus juice and finish blending. The reason you add the juice last is because it will cook the taters, and then the manna won't melt right and you will end up with coconut chunks throughout. This is actually delicious but looks sort of sloppy.
Okay, eat the potatoes from the pot. Or be classy and serve it up right like I tried to to above. Whatever…

Local school districts opt out of federal lunch program
Some find federal lunch rules too restrictive
In 2012, the National School Lunch Program changed to try to make children healthier. Trouble is, schools have learned a year into the program, this only works if the children eat what you're serving.
The regulations about what can be served became stricter and more specific — like serving a full half cup of dark green, red/orange vegetables and dried beans/peas at least once a week and putting them in a separate cup.
At least three local school districts — Voorheesville, Niskayuna and Burnt Hills–Ballston Lake — and Bethlehem High Schoolhave opted out of the federal program, giving back reimbursements in order to have more flexibility in what they serve students. Because, it turns out, since the regulations took effect schools were seeing a decline in food sales as well as wasted food because students were throwing it away.
"Especially, the high school athletes were complaining that they were still hungry after eating lunch," said Burnt Hills–Ballston Lake district communications specialist Christy Multer. "Many students brought in lunch from home."
Food sales declined at all five BH-BL schools during 2012-13, and even with reimbursement from the National School Lunch Program, the district's lunch program ended the 2012-13 school year roughly $100,000 in debt — more than any previous year.
So what does it mean for schools that have opted out of the program?
For BH-BL food service manager Nicola Boehm, it will mean once again serving student favorites like the chicken patty and creating meals under less restriction. And, said Multer, it will eliminate the kinds of regulations that have the cafeteria staff counting the number of beans they put on a student's tray.
"It was hard to work around such rigid regulations," Multer said
For example, the elementary students' favorite meal was a chicken patty, which contains 3 ounces of protein.
Under the federal lunch program, students' meals could contain no more than 10 ounces per week.
If the chef was to serve the whole chicken patty for two lunches in one week, the chef would only have 4 ounces of protein to work with for rest of the week, according to Multer.
More Information
In or out?
According to the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, the current basic cash reimbursement rates if school food authorities served less than 60 percent free and reduced price lunches during the second preceding school year are — free lunches: $2.86; reduced-price lunches: $2.46; paid lunches: 27 cents; free snacks: 78 cents; reduced-price snacks: 39 cents; paid snacks: .07 cents.
Comparison of previous and current regulatory requirements under final rule "Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs" can be found at: http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governance/legislation/comparison.pdf
Without the regulations, the chef can use part of the chicken patty in a mini croissant and those plain beans can be added to the students' favorite, taco salad.
"Part of eating isn't just what your stomach or brain says," said Multer. "Our food service manager is excited to add Southern-style chicken and biscuits and lasagna to the menu."
The school district ensured that they will continue to offer meals that are as healthy as those required under the National School Lunch Program, but that more students will actually purchase and eat.
"Opting out of the program had nothing do to with politics," said Multer. "It depended solely on what's best for our students and school district."
The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program that helps schools provide nutritionally balanced, reduced-cost or free lunches to children each school day. Participating districts are required to comply with program rules, which now require larger portions of fruits and vegetables, offer dark green and deep orange vegetables and legumes every week, use whole grains in half of the grains served, reduce salt by 10 percent and only sell 1 percent or fat-free milk.
After the program changed last September, Bethlehem High School went from selling 325 meals a day to less than 100, said food service director Paul Franchini.
Sabre Sarnataro, communications specialist for the Bethlehem district, said some Bethlehem High School students opt to use the lunch period to take additional classes. Without the regulation, the district will offer more a la carte menus to accommodate students rushing to class.
In addition, parents will also be able to monitor their students' meals efficiently.
If they were to purchase the tray meal, it would only say "full meal" on the "mySchoolBucks" account. But when the students purchase from the a la carte menu, the parents can see specific items the student bought, Sarnataro said.
The Voorheesville Central School District — the first to drop out of the program in the state — is back to serving its popular salad with sliced flank steak and blue cheese crumbles with a light vinaigrette dressing and chicken cordon bleu and French dip sandwiches.
All the school districts that are opting out of the National School Lunch Program ensured that the students who were eligible for the reduced-price or free lunch would continue to receive the benefit.
But not every local school can quit the federal program. Urban school districts are heavily depending on the federal aid.
Under the new Community Eligibility Option (CEO), Schenectady Central School District will provide free breakfast and lunch for its entire student body starting this school year. According to the Food Research and Action Center, any school in which 40 percent or more of the students live in households that participate in assistance programs can participate in CEO.
At Mohonasen Central School District in Rotterdam, approximately a quarter of the food services budget — almost $500,000 — comes in the form of federal reimbursements.
"Without this funding, those buying full-priced meals would be paying restaurant prices at Mohonasen," said Kim Gagnon, a food services supervisor for the district. "Opting out of the federal meal program is not an option.
"We're hearing some complaints and suggestions, but my department is committed to making changes where we can, and serving meals that kids want to eat," she said.
Mohonasen Superintendent Kathleen Spring applauded the food services department, saying that Gagnon and her staff have done an outstanding job in a challenging situation.
"Our students have access to things like homemade soup, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and some of their old favorites like chicken patties and pizza," Spring said. "Like any new law, there are still pieces to be worked out, but in many ways our district is the poster child for healthy meals."

Monsters vs. Aliens (US - BD)
Gabe expected a gritty documentary on the Neo-Cons' war on immigration...
On her wedding day Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is smacked with a radioactive meteor, and her nuptials are ruined by the resulting mutation. Now fifty feet tall, Susan is captured by a secret government agency headed by General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland). In her new metal prison Susan, now dubbed 'Ginormica', meets her fellow monsters: B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), the Missing Link (Will Arnett), and Insectosaurus. Meanwhile an alien overlord named Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson) detects quantonium radiation emanating from Earth, and dispatches a gigantic robot to collect it. The government strikes a deal with Monger, and the monsters are dispatched to fight the alien force in return for their freedom.
In brief, I found Monsters vs. Aliens just as forgettable in the long term as most of Dreamworks Animation's lacklustre catalogue, but it's about equal to the studio's best in terms of pure entertainment value and a good follow-up to the studio's first genuinely great film (arguably ever), Kung Fu Panda. The protagonists are again generally likable (unlike the increasingly difficult curmudgeons and self-centred brats of so many of the studio's most popular films), the pacing is breathlessly speedy, the design is colourful and somewhat original, and the action is just as rousing as that found in most big budget, live-action summer fair. The film was massively overshadowed by the following month's genuinely affecting Up, and it didn't quite equal the creative beauty of Coraline, but it was a good stop-gap in a solid year for animation lovers.
Film lovers have seen plenty of successful and unsuccessful satirical takes on '50s Red Scare sci-fi and horror ( Mars Attacks, Iron Giant, Fido), so Monsters vs. Aliens doesn't score on concept originality points, but the filmmakers definitely know the era genre, and obviously hold it high regard. Half the fun here is in discovering all the in-jokes, references, and screen analogues. The lead characters are a good place to start. Insectosaurus represents Mothra, the Missing Link represents the Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dr. Cockroach represents the Fly (right down to his Vincent Price moustache), B.O.B represents the Blob, and Ginormica, or Susan, is an obvious analogue take on the Fifty Foot Woman. Any semblance of plot takes a back seat to fulfilling sugar-fuelled boyhood dreams of old-school monsters fighting saucer-flying aliens, but there is fun to be found in this anticipation in this rare case (usually I hate that kind of thing). Deep down MvA is just another morality tale on being oneself, which is kind of a bummer, but for throw-away entertainment we could do much worse. Viewers looking for a heartfelt exploration of anachronism caked in analogy should probably just watch The Iron Giant again.
What it lacks in story smarts MvA mostly makes up for in clever design aesthetics. Everything looks familiar, and at times almost realistic in the fine details, but everything from the organic to the inorganic has been deformed into rounder shapes. It's not as if bubbly versions of real life objects are a new concept (to the contrary they're kind of the norm for animation throughout the ages), but MvA finds an uncanny balance between cartoony and realistic that most computer animated films cannot. I can't picture the film finding a lasting place in the historical pantheon of animation, but the human character designs are definitely a big step for CG humans in animation. The humans are cartoony and as deformed as the stuff around them, far from realistic renderings, but their skin and hair details are almost photo-real, in so much as extremely hydrocephalic head textures can be. I'll have to re-watch Up to recall for certain, but I remember the filmmakers using the same plasticine skin Pixar has used since The Incredibles.
Much of MvA's action is based in three separate scales: that of normal humans, that of Susan, and that of Insectosaurus. The scale works in most cases, and aside from broadening the scope the differentiation amps the action scenes to epic levels. Kung Fu Panda and TMNT both featured fantastic martial arts animation, The Incredibles featured some of the best super-hero fisticuffs in film history, and the vast majority of Pixar movies feature knee-jangling chase scenes, but I can't recall any American made CG cartoon with mayhem this massive. Much of this Godzilla sized action is created with the theatrical 3D format in mind, but it works just fine in 2D as well, especially high definition 2D, thanks to clever camera angles and movement. The animators also manage to give the characters proper weight and physical limitations, without dulling their more cartoony aspects. The speedy, shoot 'em up, big bang last act never quite lives up to the promise of the high bar setting San Francisco robot take-down, which is a nearly perfect, child friendly homage to Toho's best Kaiju.
The film's humour is largely of the cheap variety, but the writers don't only default to the studio's usual lazy shot of mimicking pop-culture. The film regularly reference pop-culture, but it's usually half century old pop-culture. On the whole the film is face-paced and light-hearted enough that even the more obvious jokes are at least nominally funny. The scene where a couple of stereotypical teenagers partake in major gender role reversal when confronted with a UFO has probably been done before, but still garners a hardy giggle. The sequences featuring Stephen Colbert's President's dealings with government types are usually predictable in a disappointingly un-funny way, but these (which made up most of the trailers) are relatively few and far between (it's too bad because I'm a Colbert fan otherwise). Like Kung Fu Panda, and the mostly superior Pixar films, a lot of the best gags are character driven, and the one-off gags pretty consistently disappoint in comparison. I wish I could say that I was above the super-simple charms of Seth Rogan as B.O.B., but he's the highlight of every scene. The physical comedy is quick as lightning, and pretty old-school as well, featuring obvious nods to The Three Stooges, and Chuck Jones' best work.
I saw Monsters vs. Aliens in digital 3D in theatres and the 3D effect, while working pretty well, depleted the fine details. Polarized 3D is not an option on the home video (for some reason), and unlike the recent Coraline release, Dreamworks doesn't even offer a red/blue version. It's kind of a bummer to not be offered the option, but the 2D version looks so damn perfect in 1080p it's hard to realistically complain. This is very much a reference level transfer in details, contrast, clarity, and colour.
I'm immediately shocked at the minor skin textures, which were entirely unclear on the big screen thanks to the smoothing caused by the 3D effect. The human characters are, from this standpoint, a huge improvement over the plastic-looking humans found in most computer animated films. Other details follow suit. Check out the hairs on Insectosaurous, the tiny shiny bubbles on B.O.B., the veins in Dr. Cockroach's eyes, and the scales on the Missing Link, which appear almost hand painted. On top of details are colours, another element that was lost a bit in 3D thanks to the dark tint of the polarized lenses. The bright hues are solid and pure in the way only animated films can produce. The direct digital transfer means there are no compression issues, and the lack of filmed elements means there are no artefacts. The incredible resolution also gives way to a slightly uncanny frame rate, which would possibly look even more uncanny if I had one of those really, really expensive sets, like the one I always see at Best Buy playing Bee Movie. In closing, I think Monsters vs. Aliens might be the only movie in history where a character breaks out of the 2.35:1 frame to address the audience. It worked better in 3D, but is still a fun little addition in 2D.
Monsters vs. Aliens is at least half high octane action movie, and it's entirely animated, which means the sound effects work is big, loud, and constructed completely from scratch. This Dolby TrueHD track is just as ready for your next reference party as the HD video. Directional effects are all the hell over the place. It's actually difficult to find a scene without impressive directional effects. The rear effects are often an important element in many of the better sight gags, like when the President shouts 'Eat lead!' and shoots at the alien robot, and the sound of the robot swallowing his bullet is heard in the rear right speaker. My favourite funny effect element is the constant suction-cup sound of Galaxar and his clones. When the clones move en-masse I couldn't help but pretty much constantly chuckle. The musical score accounts for the '50s/'60s era well, along with expectations that come with the genre, including both Hermann-esque Theremin, early rock, and plenty of John Williams swipes. The credit music is a good reason to sit through the rolling names.
Wilhelm Alert: B.O.B. tosses a Galaxar clone over a bridge in the giant spaceship, as he falls the clone lets out a healthy right channel Wilhelm.
The extras start with a few in-film experiences, including a filmmaker's commentary, an 'Animator's Corner' PiP option, and a trivia track. The commentary track features directors Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon, and producer Lisa Stewart. The most surprising thing I learned from the whole track was how tight the film's budget apparently was. It certainly looks like price was no object given the film's incredible scope and detail. A lot of time is wasted congratulating the cast and crew (which is sometimes important because the cast is appropriately credited with some of the better jokes), but the vast majority of the track is about the huge changes in script. It unfortunately appears that the thin plot that made the final cut was at the risk of some really good stuff.
Though the film itself isn't presented with a 3D option, there's a whole section of extras devoted to the tradition red/blue style 3D, and four sets of glasses with the set. Even the menu in this section is 3D. There are two options: 'B.O.B.'s big break' and 'Operation: Paddle Ball'. 'B.O.B.'s Big Break' is a short prequel adventure featuring the monsters trying to escape using B.O.B.'s briefly acquired ability to read thoughts. It's cute, the 3D works pretty well (though the colours don't work, of course), and the crew scored the original film's A-list voice cast. 'Operation: Paddle Ball' is a 3D game, which is about as intuitive and fun as most Blu-ray games. Under the 'Out-of-This-World 2D Fun' one can find a 2D version of the short, and three Karaoke Music Party segments.
'Modern Monster Movie Making' (17:50, HD) is a sort of general look at the making of the film with a slant towards the technical developments like RealD, and the casting process. The behind the scenes on the actors is fun, but the footage of crew members watching test footage with polarized lenses on regular HD sets kind of pisses me off because I'd heard it was impossible. Why are we doing red/blue for the home video releases? The disc also features three deleted scenes (05:30, HD), two presented in storyboard form, with temp dialogue, and one in semi-complete animation.
Monsters vs. Aliens is one of Dreamworks Animation's better features, but is still a bit of a throw-away, existing rather strongly in the moment, but quickly fading from memory. The comedy and action aspects are strong, and the nostalgia factor sets the film apart, but there isn't a whole lot of story or analogy to deepen the pool. The stylistic elements of the film's human characters may mark an important step for CG animation, but otherwise this one is just for fun. The disc itself is reference level stuff, featuring perfect and dynamic A/V. Extras aren't incredible, but relatively entertaining, including some fun 3D pieces.

I thought the movie was okay. Certainly wasn't my favorite of the DWA bunch. I personally prefer "Up" instead.

I would have thought that they would have tried to match the colours better to the glasses for Bob's Big Break knowing the lense colours for the 3D....
Oh and I think you will find they will more than likely not used the polarization 3D on DVD and BD due to the way that it affects LCD TVs - grab a pair of polarised sunglasses then look at a LVCD TV then turn your head on your side.....

The reader comments following the article — particularly those from someone identified as "FMEng" — provided much valuable additional information, and I received a number of interesting emails from people with similar interests and/or stories to share. Also, readers of a Portland, OR radio blog were equally helpful in correcting errors in the piece and further illuminating the subject. Lastly, a bit at Blatherwatch put up a flattering link and used a title that was so good, I simply had to steal it for the title of this post.

Geography of Early Seattle Radio
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer last week published a piece I put together about the early history of Seattle's network-affiliated radio stations that included speculation about why the studios were all clustered around the telephone company building downtown. I've been kicking around the theory since I put together a walking tour of old Seattle radio studio locations back in 2003 for MOHAI.

LAHAINA, Hawaii — "Here, take this one," Elisa said, lifting an orchid lei from her shoulders and draping it on Laurel's. "Aloha."
My wife, Laurel, and I were in the tender queue with Elisa, our "port shopping specialist," at Lahaina on Maui, waiting to be shuttled to Cunard Line's Queen Victoria for the final six nights of our 14-night round trip from Los Angeles to the Hawaiian Islands. Laurel had put off buying a lei and the vendors were sold out, so Elisa had generously given hers — a typically Hawaiian act of sharing.
The Victoria is a world traveler and won't return to Hawaii soon. But Celebrity, Holland America, Princess and Carnival regularly offer round trips similar to ours, fall through spring. Whichever ship you choose, you'll be sailing in the metaphorical wake of the Matson and American President lines, great West Coast steamship companies that served Hawaii and the Far East in the heyday of passenger shipping.
A dozen years ago, Laurel and I had made a weeklong circuit of the Hawaiian Islands on another classic ship, the Independence, a voyage now offered by Norwegian Cruise Line, but that only scratched, not stopped, the itch to reach Hawaii by sea.
Finally, in February 2012, we sailed west from Los Angeles, Hawaii-bound. We would get there the slow-paced, traditional way: walking the deck, reading, staring at the sea, dining well, sipping martinis to the soothing sounds of cocktail piano. The sea air both relaxed and energized us. When we arrived, we were ready for the ports.
Our first was Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii, but the traditional landfall I'd long anticipated came next: Honolulu, on Oahu. We arrived in the freshness of early morning, with blankets of gray clouds a good background for the city skyline, bathed in low sunlight and punctuated by the 1926 Aloha Tower.
This aptly named 10-story-tall lighthouse and clock tower, built in a style known as Hawaiian Gothic, is Honolulu's version of New York City's Statue of Liberty, welcoming immigrants and tourists alike.
We prefer to strike out on our own rather than take ship-sponsored tours, so we chose the hop-on, hop-off Waikiki Trolley (an open-air bus gussied up to look like a streetcar, and not inexpensive at $32 online for a day pass). On a cruise, every day is a holiday, so we had overlooked the fact that we'd be touring on Presidents Day — and that the trolley would be packed with locals, meaning long boarding lines.
We did get to see much of the island this way, passing through Waikiki, nearly as much a high-rise city as downtown Honolulu, on the way to Diamond Head, Oahu's iconic promontory.
By the time we returned to downtown, we had concocted a plan to rent a car the next day on Kauai. At Nawiliwili, our port for that green, volcanic island, the dock is a short walk from the airport, where our car cost about $200 for the day. It was significantly more than if we had booked in advance, but still a bargain when split with a couple from Munich, Germany, we had met on the ersatz trolley, and we were free to set our own itinerary.
We drove along sparkling beaches to Hanalei Bay on the north shore, and through a lush valley ringed with jagged mountains and floored with taro ponds. This was the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge, where the ponds are managed as waterfowl habitat, a necessity since the demand for poi, made from taro roots and once a Hawaiian staple, has plummeted.
We ended our day at Waimea Canyon, where we walked among the clucking feral chickens abundant on Kauai to the lookout. Waimea means "reddish water," and in coloration the canyon is reminiscent of the Grand Canyon, only smaller.
As a habitual collector and "completist," I had a mission on Maui. I'd ridden trains in 48 states, and this cruise gave me a chance to nail down No. 49 (leaving only Oklahoma). Hawaii never was much of a railroad state, except for its substantial collection of plantation railroads, none still serving that original purpose.
But the narrow-gauge Lahaina, Kaanapali & Pacific Railroad, which markets itself as the Sugar Cane Train, for the last 30 years has hauled tourists six miles from Lahaina (once the site of the Pioneer Mill, which processed the cane) to resorts in Kaanapali, with beaches for swimming and sunning.
"It's just a slow, boring ride," said the taxi driver, who rushed us to the train station. The haste was needed because our tender had died halfway to the pier in Lahaina, so we'd bobbed around in that oven-like cocoon for an hour before another tender rescued us. But the open-air cars of the Sugar Cane Train were breezily cool, and the ride behind the chugging and whistling Myrtle, a diminutive industrial steam locomotive built in 1943, was pleasant — especially for a train buff like me.
Then came more relaxed, contemplative deck-chair days as we headed back to Los Angeles. Though we hope to visit Hawaii again, we had skipped a ritual dating to Matson Line days: tossing leis overboard to guarantee your return.
We'd done that from the Independence, when leis were all natural, and it had worked. Laurel's orchid blossoms were strung on plastic, typical today, I suppose, so another tradition passes.
Happily, though, the tradition of sailing to Hawaii is alive and well.
