Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

Hilarious, cheapie black comedy from 1960 that may be the best film by B-picture master Roger Corman, other than Bucket of Blood,  made about the same time with the same writer, Charles Griffith.  Seymour (Jonathan Haze) is an assistant in a skid-row flower shop who's  on the point of losing his job when the unusual plant he's developed  turns the store into a major attraction. The only problem is that the  plant needs human blood to live, all the while crying, "Feed me! FEED  ME!" Luckily, Seymour causes a series of inadvertent deaths that more  than make up for the food shortage. Jack Nicholson provides a comic  sidebar as a nutjob masochist visiting a dentist's office. Giggling and  wild-eyed from the same impulse that might lead others to read scandal  sheets, he can be seen in the dentist's waiting room reading aloud from Pain magazine.  Famous for having the shortest shooting schedule on record (two days and a night), The Little Shop of Horrors spawned an off-Broadway musical that was in turn made into a successful  film in 1986, starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. It was in just  this quick-shoot atmosphere that Corman nurtured the careers of many of  America's most celebrated film directors; this little shop of honors  included Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdanovich, Martin Scorsese, and  Jonathan Demme. The DVD has optional Japanese subtitles, very generous  bios of the stars and filmmakers, and a clean, crisp transfer.

The owner of a man-eating plant tries to curb its appetite in this  delicious musical comedy. Levi stubbs is the singing voice of audrey 2  the plant. Special features: two original theatrical trailer and two tv  spots subtitles in english french and spanish production notes and much  more. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/26/2006 Starring: Rick  Moranis Ellen Greene Run time: 94 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Frank Oz        

The Shop on Blossom Street

A Seattle knitting store brings together four very different women in  this earnest tale about friendship and love. Lydia Hoffman, a two-time  cancer survivor, opens the shop A Good Yarn as a symbol of the new life  she plans to lead. She starts a weekly knitting class, hoping to  improve business and make friends in the area. The initial class  project is a baby blanket, and Macomber (Changing Habits), a  knitter herself who offers tips about the craft and pithy observations  from knitting professionals throughout the novel, includes the knitting  pattern at the start of the book. Well-heeled Jacqueline Donovan, who  chooses to ignore her empty marriage, disguises her disdain for her  pregnant daughter-in-law by knitting a baby blanket. Carol Girard joins  the group as an affirmation of her hopes to finally have a successful  in vitro pregnancy. Alix Townsend, a high school dropout with an  absentee father and a mother incarcerated for forging checks, uses the  class to satisfy a court-ordered community service sentence for a  drug-possession conviction for which her roommate is really  responsible. Unfortunately, Macomber doesn't get much below the surface  of her characters, and, although they all have interesting back  stories, the arc of each individual happy ending is too predictable.  The only surprise involves Alix's hapless, overweight roommate, Laurel,  and even this smacks of plot-driven manipulation. Macomber is an adept  storyteller overall, however, and many will be entertained by this  well-paced story about four women finding happiness and fulfillment  through their growing friendships.

Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP

The PowerShot A590 IS will astound you with its power-packed  performance and impressive value. It’s got 8 megapixels, a 4x optical  zoom, an Optical Image Stabilizer, and a large 2.5-inch LCD. A range of  shooting modes -- from manual to automatic, including Canon’s new Easy  Mode -- make picture-taking carefree. A DIGIC III Image Processor with  Enhanced Canon Face Detection assures natural-looking results, while  Motion Detection Technology reduces blur. For added creativity, attach  wide or telephoto converter lenses.

With the PowerShot A590 IS, dramatic, personal pictures have never been  easier to shoot and share. The 8.0-megapixel design lets you create  impressive high resolution images of family and friends you’ll be proud  display. The genuine Canon 4x zoom lens moves you in for powerful  close-ups -- like a bird in flight or a child’s winning goal -- at the  touch of a button. Plus, Canon’s highly sophisticated Optical Image  Stabilizer keeps every shot absolutely steady even when you’re not.

The camera’s 2.5-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether  you’re shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This  high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear and bright picture. It  also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.

Even if you’ve never picked up a camera before, with Canon’s new Easy  Mode you can take inspiring, dramatic pictures that will impress  everyone. Once you choose Easy Mode, the PowerShot A590 IS handles all  the details automatically. It automatically sets every camera control  including the flash to reduce blur and improve image quality. So you  get pictures that are bright, clear and natural just by pushing a  button. Best of all, you can relax and concentrate on what really  counts -- your subject.

With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates  at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III  enables Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to  give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the  Shutter Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the  faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera  controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright  and natural. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways.  The entirely new Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face  Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from flash images  as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's  also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple  settings in the A590 IS's menu.

Canon's powerful Face Detection Technology delivers even better results  with the new A590 IS. The Face Detection Technology continues to  recognize faces in a scene, and concentrate exposure (daylight or  flash) and focus upon them. But the A590 IS adds more: Face Detection  WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white  balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets  the A590 IS user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the  camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene.  Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's  new Motion Detection Technology.

Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.

 
• The new Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
 
• The A590 IS can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
 
• The  user can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback  on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.

Life doesn’t stand still for picture-taking. That’s why Canon included  its advanced Motion Detection Technology in the PowerShot A590 IS. This  sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly evaluate how  fast your subject is moving. Then it automatically selects and sets the  optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and  clear. So whether you’re shooting a bride walking down the aisle, a  ballet recital or even a child’s soccer game, you can relax and shoot  with confidence knowing you’ve got the picture you intended.

The A590IS features a Print/Share button for easy direct printing and  downloading, plus ID Photo Print and Movie Print with select Pixma  photo printers and Selphy compact photo printers.The  PowerShot A590 IS's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier  than ever. Simply connect the A590 IS to a Canon Pixma photo printer or  Selphy compact photo printer or any PictBridge compatible photo  printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also use the  Print/Share button to transfer images to a computer (Windows and  Macintosh).Print your own ID photos in 28 different sizes  or use the Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a  recorded movie on a single sheet with a Canon Selphy compact photo  printer.

The PowerShot A590 IS will astound you with its power-packed  performance and impressive value. It's got 8.0-megapixels, a 4x optical  zoom, an Optical Image Stabilizer and a large 2.5-inch LCD. A range of  shooting modes - from manual to automatic including Canon's new Easy  Mode - make picture-taking carefree.

Setting Up Shop

Setting Up Shop is designed both for professional craftspeople who often have the poorest and most sparsely equipped shops because they are too busy to make improvements, and for hobbyists and weekend warriors who need a shop for entertainment as much getting work done. Author Sandor Nagyszalanczy does a good job of pointing out the relative benefits and drawbacks to various shop configurations and locations. In fact, one entire page is devoted to a chart comparing shops located in attics, basements, garages, or a spare room in the house, and how each rates for various factors, including noise, dust, headroom, access, structural limitations, heating, cooling, and moisture. This is a great how-to book with very useful topics in each chapter, including upgrading your electrical system; making sure you have the proper lighting, heating, and ventilation for your shop; picking the right tools and brands; deciding where to place machines and tools, benches and work areas; ensuring shop safety; methods for collecting dust; and more.

Each chapter is personalized with a visit to the shop of one craftsperson or another. The journey is made better by more than 240 color photos, as well as a healthy dose of black-and-white photos and line drawings. In the end, of course, the definition of a good or a smart shop is fluid, depending on its primary use and the need to change things from time to time. And both professional and hobbyist woodmakers can have as much pride in their shop as they do in a handmade chair. Nagyszalanczy has worked out of the same shop for nearly 20 years and admits that he takes offense when someone refers to it as a "garage." "You have to follow your heart as well as use your mind," Nagyszalanczy writes, "when transforming a simple building that others might call a shed or a garage into what you proudly call your woodshop." --John Russell --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Woodworkers are always looking for ways to improve their workshops, and this book is exactly what they need to outfit a shop for the first time, or expand their existing shop. Setting Up Shop, Revised takes the practical knowledge and ingenious solutions of the first edition, and combines them with additional photos and drawings to create the most comprehensive workshop book on the market. The second edition includes new photos and also updates on technology especially regarding dust collection, pneumatic tools, and safety. Topics covered include determining the best shop location, shop layout, equipping the shop with tools and accessories, shop safety, and storage. Setting Up Shop, Revised answers the real questions woodworkers have on how to achieve their dream shops, economically and straightforwardly. Shopping
