Well, we?re certainly not going to be sending sheep into space or growing cotton . . . but maybe we are! Nobody knows. Are we going to be growing cotton on Mars, or harvesting spider silk as we pass Jupiter? We?ve got to think about this, and then circle back to the planet to apply those changes here.

One of the major places to start is miniaturization. Right now, if you?re going to manufacture clothing, you need rooms full of equipment. We?ll need to minimize these processes. The second thing we need to get really good at is recycling. Recycling, repurposing, reusing anything and everything, including clothing.

Are the coverings going to become fibers and fabrics as we know them? Maybe not. This very quickly becomes a cultural investigation. What is clothing? Maybe we need to rethink what it means to be covered or clothed. Are we coated somehow, instead of wearing pieces of fabric? That could get really weird, but maybe that?s what needs to happen if the civilization is going to move off the planet. We?ve been harvesting, spinning, weaving, cutting, and sewing for tens of thousands of years. Are we just going to stop? That seems fairly unlikely, but maybe we have to. Maybe it?s time for something else.

Black Powder Media's Impulse Controller handson video

Black Powder Media showed up at our double-wide HQ with a couple Bluetooth Impulse Controllers on hand for us to play with. This tiny Bluetooth 2.1 controller is actually a jack of all trades device as it will control your phone, tablet or PC for gaming, multimedia control, remote camera trigger and even help find your keys -- via a free app -- if you lose them.

We had a chance to play a bit of Pac Man and Temple Run on an iPad and the control was really quite good, though, the device's housing isn't complete as you can plainly see in the pic above. Button feel was great with the right rubbery click feel to the various buttons on the face and shoulder keys on the rear. The D-Pad can be flipped to the opposite side of the controller using the small mode key so that lefties can join in the fun, too. To protect your Impulse Controller while it is tethered to your keychain it comes wrapped in a very clever plastic housing that doubles as a stand for your phone while playing a game in either portrait or landscape mode. We definitely are looking forward to seeing the final polished product, but until then have a peek at our quick video tour and photo gallery.

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:06:41 -0800 What is Combatives? http://arebeba.posterous.com/what-is-combatives http://arebeba.posterous.com/what-is-combatives What is Combatives? Combatives is a modern term used to describe the combative arts, military arts, or simply put; Martial Arts. Really, that's what martial arts really is, the arts pertaining to warfare and the military.

The choice of "martial" arts should have, and still should be understood to define anything and everything that goes with battle. However, If reality is what is commonly known to be true or understood among those in the realm of Combatives and it's teaching, then Combatives is hand-to-hand fight training, to include weapons such as a knife or stick. Handgun disarms will definitely be included in a good Combatives program, but typically when you get into the actual firing of the weapon, the term Combatives is no longer applied, and you then get into marksmanship.

Is marksmanship apart of the Combative Arts? Well yes, of course it is. But in the Army, we don't call it Combatives. Martial Arts used to be Combatives, and literally martial arts is the same as the Combative Arts, but because of McDojo's calling rehearsed katas and forms (without practical applications), martial arts, somebody had to go and change the name to get their point across.

This means that in addition to checking account balances you can also view recent transactions and send or schedule payments. In order to do any of that, however, you'll first need an account -- Simple's taking invite requests now, and those wanting to give it a try should check out the source link to get started.

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 05:40:04 -0800 Supreme Court sinks Florida city over floating home http://arebeba.posterous.com/supreme-court-sinks-florida-city-over-floatin http://arebeba.posterous.com/supreme-court-sinks-florida-city-over-floatin

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - When is a floating home not a vessel? The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday told a Florida city its argument did not hold water, and that an abode on water was nothing but a home.

In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled that a gray, two-story home which its owner said was permanently moored to a Riviera Beach, Florida, marina was not a vessel, depriving the city of power under U.S. maritime law to seize and destroy it.

Justice Stephen Breyer said nothing about former Chicago trader and Marine pilot Fane Lozman's home would have led a "reasonable observer" to conclude it could be used to transport people or things over water, but for the fact that it floated.

"Not every floating structure is a 'vessel'," Breyer wrote for the majority. "To state the obvious, a wooden washtub, a plastic dishpan, a swimming platform on pontoons, a large fishing net, a door taken off its hinges, or Pinocchio (when inside the whale) are not 'vessels'."

Riviera Beach had seized Lozman's home after he resisted a court order that he pay $3,040 in dockage fees, and destroyed the home after being unable to sell it.

Tuesday's decision reversed a lower court ruling upholding the fees, and clears the way for Lozman to seek compensation.

Riviera Beach officials had no immediate comment.

Lozman, 51, cheered the decision. "I feel like I'm floating on a cloud," he said in a phone interview. "I have been fighting this city for 6-1/2 years and it is humbling to get a reversal."

The definition of "vessel" is particularly important, given that admiralty law imposes different obligations on owners with respect to such things as staffing and taxation.

It is a victory for the casino industry, which in court papers argued that more than 60 riverboat casinos should not be subject to U.S. maritime laws designed to protect seamen, on top of state laws to license and regulate the gaming business.

The decision limits special rules and remedies of maritime law to matters that "genuinely involve maritime commerce and transportation," Jeffrey Fisher, a Stanford University law professor who represented Lozman, said in a phone interview. "That something floats and might be towed from Point A to Point B does not mean those rules and remedies should apply."

COURT SEEKS CONSISTENCY

Lozman bought the 60-by-12 foot home in 2002, which was equipped with French doors. Four years later, he towed it to a Riviera Beach marina, where he kept it docked.

Although he was able to move the home in this manner, Lozman said it should not be covered by maritime law because it lacked the usual seafaring features such as a motor and GPS device, and needed land-based sewer lines and an extension cord for power.

The legal battle started after Lozman resisted new rules governing houseboats at his marina and opposed a proposed $2.4 billion luxury redevelopment of the marina.

In his opinion for the court, Breyer said the decision was consistent with the laws of California and Washington, which also treat structures like Lozman's as land-based homes.

"Consistency of interpretation of related state and federal laws is a virtue" because it makes the law easier to understand and follow, Breyer said.

Joining Breyer's opinion were Chief Justice John Roberts, and Associate Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justice Anthony Kennedy, dissented, in the term's first dissenting votes from a full court opinion. Sotomayor objected to the "reasonable observer" standard adopted by the majority.

The case is Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach, Florida, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 11-626.

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:16:38 -0800 Pakistan turmoil deepens as court orders PM's arrest http://arebeba.posterous.com/pakistan-turmoil-deepens-as-court-orders-pms http://arebeba.posterous.com/pakistan-turmoil-deepens-as-court-orders-pms

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the arrest of the prime minister on Tuesday on corruption allegations, ratcheting up pressure on a government that is also facing street protests led by a cleric who has a history of ties to the army.

The combination of the arrest order and the mass protest in the capital, Islamabad, led by Muslim cleric Muhammad Tahirul Qadri, raised fears among politicians that the military was working with the judiciary to force out a civilian leader.

"There is no doubt that Qadri's march and the Supreme Court's verdict were masterminded by the military establishment of Pakistan," Fawad Chaudhry, an aide to Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, told Reuters.

"The military can intervene at this moment as the Supreme Court has opened a way for it."

However, the ruling coalition led by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has a majority in parliament and lawmakers can simply elect another prime minister if Ashraf is ousted. In June, Ashraf replaced Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, who was disqualified by the Supreme Court in a previous showdown between the government and the judiciary.

Elections are due in a few months and President Asif Ali Zardari hopes to lead the first civilian government in Pakistan's 65 years as an independent nation that will complete its full term.

But power struggles will distract the unpopular government from tackling an array of problems - a Taliban insurgency, economic stagnation and growing sectarian tensions triggered by bomb attacks and tit-for-tat shootings.

The military, which sees itself as the guarantor of Pakistan's stability, has long regarded the PPP-led government as corrupt, incompetent and unable to prevent the nuclear-armed country from falling apart.

Pakistan's powerful army has a long history of coups and intervening in politics. But these days, generals seem to have little appetite for a coup. Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani has vowed to keep the military out of politics.

But many believe top military leaders still try to exert behind-the-scenes influence, and any moves by the military in the latest crisis could not happen without a green light from Kayani, arguably the most powerful man in Pakistan.

"Extra-constitutional regime change, or 'outside of the political calendar' if you will, is only possible in Pakistan with the tacit nod of the military, on account of it being a long-time stakeholder in Pakistani politics," said Shamila Chaudhry, an analyst at Eurasia Group.

"The Qadri march was like a trial balloon. The military indirectly sent it out to see if it would work."

Some politicians believe the military will try to dominate the caretaker administration that will oversee the run-up to the polls after parliament is dissolved, which is due to happen in March. An election date has yet to be announced.

The protest by Qadri and his followers has also been seen by commentators as being orchestrated by the military to add to the pressure on Zardari's government, although the military has denied any ties to the cleric.

PEOPLE'S MONEY

Thousands of followers of the populist cleric camped near the federal parliament cheered and waved Pakistani flags as television channels broadcast news of the Supreme Court's order to arrest Ashraf on charges of corruption.

"We don't want any of those old politicians. They just take all the people's money," said 19-year-old student Mohammed Wasim. "We congratulate the whole nation (on the Supreme Court's order). Now we have to take the rest of the thieves to court."

Government officials said they were baffled by the arrest order, which came hours after Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry said elections should go ahead as scheduled.

"This was totally unexpected," an official in Ashraf's office told Reuters. "The prime minister and two or three of his friends were watching Qadri speak on television and this suddenly happened."

Pakistan's stock exchange fell by more than 500 points, or nearly 3 percent, on news of the court order, due to fears over fresh political turmoil, which comes against a backdrop of militant bombings and tension on the border with India.

Qadri, who played a role in backing a military coup in 1999, threatened to remain camped out near the federal parliament with thousands of supporters until his demands for the resignation of the government were met.

The fiery orator returned home from Canada less than a month ago to lead a call for electoral reforms to bar corrupt politicians from office, which has made him an instant hit among Pakistanis disillusioned with the state.

In a speech from behind a bullet-proof shield in front of parliament, Qadri praised the military and the judiciary, the country's two other power centers.

"(The government) has wasted and brought a bad end to our armed forces, those armed forces who are highly sincere, highly competent and highly capable and highly professional," he said, alternating between Urdu and English.

"Even they can't do anything because the political government isn't able to deliver anything from this land. Judgments are being passed by our great, independent judiciary but the government is not ready to implement them."

Qadri is demanding that the government dissolve the legislature and announce the formation of a caretaker government to oversee the run-up to elections.

One senior military officer, who said he was speaking in a purely personal capacity, said there was no appetite in the military to repeat the coups seen in Pakistan's past, but added the stand-off could be resolved if the army played a role in the formation of a caretaker government as a "moderator."

"We should try as far as possible to abide by the constitution and law in looking for change. The army chief has made this clear," the officer told Reuters.

"But things seem to be moving beyond control," the officer added. "It is totally incorrect to say the army is behind Qadri. But if he brings thousands of people to the streets and things get worse, there may be very few options."

The United States, a major aid donor despite strained ties with Pakistan in recent years, said it was up to the Pakistanis to resolve their political differences, but stressed its support for democratic rule.

"That's an internal issue for Pakistanis to resolve, as long as it is resolved in a just and transparent manner that protects the constitution, protects the rule of law," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters in Washington. "We stand strongly in favor of a democratically elected civilian government in Pakistan, and we'll continue to do so."

News

15 January 2013

CHINA – Four additional Canadian beef processing plants have received approval from the Chinese authorities to export beef to China.-->

CHINA ? Four additional Canadian beef processing plants have received approval from the Chinese authorities to export beef to China.

The newly approved establishments will increase the Canadian export capacity for beef in a market estimated by the industry to be worth approximately $20 million annually.

"This important step sets the stage to further trade opportunities in China for our beef producers," said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz.

"Our government's top priority remains the economy, and by expanding markets in dynamic countries like China, we are helping Canadian producers increase their bottom line, which leads to more jobs, prosperity, and economic growth."

"Today's announcement is another example of how our government's commitment to opening new markets is helping increase Canadian exports and delivering real results," said International Trade Minister Ed Fast.

"We look forward to continuing to grow our trade relationship with China to ensure it is balanced and produces clear wins for Canadian workers and businesses."

The following establishments can now export to China: Les Viandes Laroche Inc, Asbestos, Quebec, Ryding Regency Meat Packers Ltd, Toronto, Ontario, St. Helen's Meat Packers Limited, Toronto, Ontario, and Canadian Premium Meats Inc, Lacombe, Alberta.

In June 2011, agreement was reached with China to allow imports of Canadian deboned beef from animals under 30 months of age (UTM), making Canada the first BSE-affected country to resume trade of beef with China. The staged market access approach for Canadian beef products was confirmed under the Cooperative Arrangement announced by Prime Minister Harper in February 2012 during his mission to China.

According to Canada Beef Inc., the Chinese market for Canadian UTM deboned beef is estimated at about $20 million annually, and once full market access is achieved the Chinese market for Canadian beef and cattle is expected to be worth $110 million. China is Canada's third-largest trading partner, with a two-way trade of over $64.5 billion dollars in 2011, including $3.4 billion in agriculture and agri-food products.

On 8 November 2012, the Government of Canada released the 2011-2012 Agriculture and Agri-Food Market Access Report, which highlights market access accomplishments. These achievements include continued access for Canadian canola to China, a market worth $1.6 billion in 2011.

Johns Hopkins research suggests routine preventive measures won't stop all clots

Despite receiving blood thinners and other clot prevention treatment, some patients still develop potentially lethal blood clots in the first month after their operations anyway, especially if they developed a surgical-site infection while in the hospital, according to results of a study at Johns Hopkins.

The research, described in a report published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, found that patients who experience a surgical-site infection after their abdominal surgery are four times more likely than infection-free patients to develop a deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs, or its more deadly cousin, a pulmonary embolism (PE) in the lungs. While only 4 percent of patients developed a DVT, 92 percent of those who did had received prophylaxis that previous research has shown is the best practice for prevention.

"We need heightened awareness about the potential for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with surgical-site infections," says study leader Susan L. Gearhart, M.D., an associate professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "We need to think beyond the prophylaxis we are already giving these patients. We need to think smarter."

Nearly all surgical patients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital are routinely given proven treatments to prevent VTEs, usually the regular administration of low-dose blood thinners and the use of compression devices to keep blood flowing in the legs. Typically the treatments cease when people are discharged from the hospital.

Gearhart notes that much work in hospitals has gone into ensuring compliance with prophylaxis measures, including automated checklists to remind health care workers of their importance. VTEs are considered a form of preventable harm, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services may penalize hospitals where patients develop clots after some orthopedic procedures. But this new study shows that even when hospitals comply with prevention guidelines, VTEs can still occur.

For their study, Gearhart and her colleagues reviewed the records of 615 adults who underwent colorectal surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital between July 2009 and July 2011. Twenty-five (4.1 percent) developed VTE. Among patients who experienced a VTE, 92 percent had been given risk-appropriate VTE prophylaxis.

What was even more interesting to Gearhart, she says, was that 14 of the 25 patients with VTE (56 percent) also developed postoperative infections compared with 168 patients (28.5 percent) without VTE. The infectious complications in nine of the 14 patients (64.3 percent) occurred prior to or on the same day as the VTE. She says she had never before seen a link between infections and VTE in surgical patients.

One theory for the apparent link is that an increase of inflammatory protein molecules that accompanies an infection affects the functioning of platelets in the blood, which could increase the risk of thrombosis. Platelets are the sticky cells that facilitate clot formation in the blood.

Gearhart says it may be time to conduct more intense monitoring of colorectal surgery patients who develop surgical-site infections, and consider frequent screening for clots in those with infections. Such screening can be done with ultrasound equipment. She also suggests such patients be kept on blood thinners for 30 days after surgery regardless of when they are discharged.

Johns Hopkins research suggests routine preventive measures won't stop all clots

Despite receiving blood thinners and other clot prevention treatment, some patients still develop potentially lethal blood clots in the first month after their operations anyway, especially if they developed a surgical-site infection while in the hospital, according to results of a study at Johns Hopkins.

The research, described in a report published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, found that patients who experience a surgical-site infection after their abdominal surgery are four times more likely than infection-free patients to develop a deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs, or its more deadly cousin, a pulmonary embolism (PE) in the lungs. While only 4 percent of patients developed a DVT, 92 percent of those who did had received prophylaxis that previous research has shown is the best practice for prevention.

"We need heightened awareness about the potential for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with surgical-site infections," says study leader Susan L. Gearhart, M.D., an associate professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "We need to think beyond the prophylaxis we are already giving these patients. We need to think smarter."

Nearly all surgical patients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital are routinely given proven treatments to prevent VTEs, usually the regular administration of low-dose blood thinners and the use of compression devices to keep blood flowing in the legs. Typically the treatments cease when people are discharged from the hospital.

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 01:20:50 -0800 NRA criticizes video games, then releases shooter app http://arebeba.posterous.com/nra-criticizes-video-games-then-releases-shoo http://arebeba.posterous.com/nra-criticizes-video-games-then-releases-shoo

NRA: Practice Range / MEDL MOBILE

Users of the NRA: Practice Range iOS app are taken to target practice, as seen in this screen shot.

By Andrew Mach, Staff Writer, NBC News

Just weeks after the National Rifle Association forcefully blamed violent video games for gun violence, the gun-rights organization has released a new shooter game for kids as young as four.

NRA: Practice Range, a new app in the iTunes store, was released Sunday by the nation?s largest gun-industry lobby. It features a 3D-shooting range and offers users simulated target practice.

The game's launch comes one month after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., which touched off a national debate over how to limit gun violence.

?Guns don?t kill people. Video games, the media and Obama?s budget kill people,? NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said at a Dec. 21 press conference where he addressed the tragedy at Sandy Hook. "There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people, through vicious, violent video games with names like ?Bulletstorm,? ?Grand Theft Auto,? ?Mortal Kombat? and ?Splatterhouse.??

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the National Rifle Association held a news conference in Washington, D.C, blaming the media and video games for cultivating a culture of violence.

The free app, recommended for ages 4 and up, according to the iTunes rating system, ?offers a 3D shooting game that instills safe and responsible ownership through fun challenges and realistic simulations,? says the app?s description. ?It strikes the right balance of gaming and safety education, allowing you to enjoy the most authentic experience possible.?

Users don?t shoot live subjects in the app, but instead are given an M9 handgun and sent to target practice in three immersive shooting ranges. ?

The NRA says the app ?puts the organization?s broad scope of resources in the palm of your hand ? with 2nd Amendment newsfeeds, gun law information centers and educational materials that you can access anywhere, anytime.?

The app has?received?three-and-a-half out of five stars in the iTunes store, but has attracted several scathing customer reviews, some calling for it to be pulled from the iTunes store.

NRA: Practice Range / MEDL MOBILE

For 99 cents, users can upgrade their firearm from a free M9 to a Beretta, a Browning or a Colt in the app, which offers indoor, outdoor and skeet shooting modes.

?Is this some kind of sick joke?? asked one user known as Papershipsonfire. ?The NRA complains about violent games and then releases one a week later. Sure you?re not shooting humans but does it really matter??

?What a dumb move,? posted Mansonr6. ?Good luck getting anyone to take your video game theory serious after this.?

But others praised the educational content offered in the game.

?This is fun and informative plus there is no need for eye and ear protection,? wrote Joe in BrynMawr. ?A must have for any gun enthusiast and defender of the U.S. constitution.??

Last week, after a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden?s gun reform task force, the NRA slammed the White House.?

"It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation's most pressing problems," the NRA said in a statement. "We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen."

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:17:28 -0800 Clinton to testify on Benghazi Jan. 23 http://arebeba.posterous.com/clinton-to-testify-on-benghazi-jan-23 http://arebeba.posterous.com/clinton-to-testify-on-benghazi-jan-23

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton holds a briefing book as she sits in her office suite at the State Department??Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify Jan. 23 before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the Sept. 11 attack on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya, the panel?s chairman said late Monday. The terrorist assault claimed the lives of the U.S. ambassador, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans.

?I appreciate Secretary Clinton?s desire and willingness to testify before the Committee as we continue to examine this deadly terrorist attack in an effort to ensure that nothing like it happens again,? Republican Rep. Ed Royce of California said in a statement.

?My intention is for this hearing to focus on why this attack was not better anticipated, what leadership failures at the State Department existed, and what management deficiencies need to be corrected in order to better secure our diplomatic facilities abroad and protect our diplomats serving in them,? Royce said. ?It is important to learn all we can about what happened in Benghazi because at the end of the day, it could happen again. After all, al-Qaeda plans attacks over and over again.?

Clinton had been slated to testify in December, but she suffered a concussion after a fall linked to an illness and had to reschedule. She is due to step down as the top American diplomat, and President Barack Obama has nominated Democratic Sen. John Kerry to succeed her. He is expected to win easy confirmation by the Senate.

Republicans have criticized the Obama administration?s handling of the attack for months, notably in the aftermath of a report that showed the State Department set aside requests for greater security at the compound in Benghazi. Some have also accused the administration of deliberately misleading the American public by linking the assault to protests against an Internet video that mocks Islam; there was no such demonstration outside the facility before the attack.

The controversy led Obama?s ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, to withdraw her name from consideration to succeed Clinton. And Republican Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte have vowed to question Obama?s nominees for key national security posts about whether the administration could have prevented the tragedy in Benghazi.

Rogers to buy Mountain Cable, license wireless spectrum from Shaw for $710m

Reuters is chiming in this evening with word that Canadian telco Rogers is ready to spend $710 million ($700 million in Canuck cash) to buy Mountain Cablevision Limited and license wireless spectrum from cable giant Shaw Communications. If Rogers sees fit, it can even buy up spectrum licenses from Shaw in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northern Ontario and Saskatchewan thanks to the deal. Cable channel TVtropolis, which is jointly owned by Shaw and Rogers, will see the remainder of its Shaw-owned stake bought up by Rogers for roughly 59 million Canadian dollars. There's no word on when the deal will be finalized, but you can expect to hear Rogers give itself a hearty pat on the back when it gets rubber-stamped.

Tue, 15 Jan 2013 05:59:50 -0800 96% Monsters, Inc. 3D http://arebeba.posterous.com/96-monsters-inc-3d http://arebeba.posterous.com/96-monsters-inc-3d

All Critics (182) | Top Critics (40) | Fresh (185) | Rotten (8) | DVD (45)

This didn't need 3D to work. It long ago passed the kids-wear-out-the-DVD-rewatching-it test.

It may be harder nowadays to dazzle audiences with fancy visual effects, but Monsters, Inc. 3D proves that smart, imaginative storytelling still does the trick every time.

Most of the charm of "Monsters Inc." comes from its vocal cast.

If history is any guide, you and your family - whether young or old - will probably want to see "Monsters University" over and over.

The movie itself stands up well, even from an adult, two-dimensional perspective.

Its reassuring message is more relevant than ever.

Another chance to see Pixar's most dazzling premise, now spruced up with a third dimension.

Now in 3D, the filmmakers have created a wonderful reality - the reality of Monstropolis, which like the worlds of Oz and Pleasantville, whisk us far, far away on a magic carpet of fantasy

A shrewdly timed reminder of Pixar's early, heady days, when the animation powerhouse could do no wrong.

There's really little reason to check out Monsters, Inc. 3D in... well, 3D, rather than going for a good old-fashioned 2D screening instead.

It does well, but not brilliantly: an amusing trifle from a studio whose best work still lay ahead of it.

Not quite a Pixar classic, but funny, witty and visually spectacular enough to be enjoyed again on the big screen.

Monsters, Inc. continues a positive 3D trend for the company, who appear to be selecting their upgraded titles wisely, choosing features that benefit from the additional depth.

Not even the opportunistic 3D-ification can squander the pure delight of the film's meticulously detailed world of ragtag creatures.

[A] sparkling cartoon ...

John Lasseter and the Pixar crew know how to turn shared human feelings and experiences into strange and delightful animated features. "Monsters, Inc." is one of their most solid efforts.

A typically engrossing Pixar effort...

Cute, kid-friendly monster movie; may scare sensitive kids.

Though "Monsters, Inc." relies more on spinning-plates plot than its Pixar peers, this romp retains the charm and heart of the animation juggernaut's forte - adding extra to ordinary hopes, in this case leaving great impressions on the kids we love.

A charming cartoon classic coming courtesy of a successful collaboration by the good folks at Disney and Pixar.
