Peter Pan: Platinum Edition DVD Review
Buy from Amazon.com
By Aaron Wallace
The world was ready for an escape in the aftermath of the second Great War. Following six years of tight budgets and governmental interference that meant producing package films, so was Walt Disney. With the release of Cinderella in 1950, he introduced his global audience to an era of fantasy that would span the rest of the decade.
Walt and his team had been at work on Peter Pan long before World War II. J.M. Barrie's popular story was one of Walt's favorites, second only to "Snow White." Barrie passed away the same year that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs took to theaters, but Walt already had plans in mind for the Scottish author's most famous work. Originally planned as one of his earliest features, Peter Pan was delayed a decade by World War II, finally released to theaters in 1953, where escape-hungry moviegoers ate it up and made it a huge hit.
That comes as no surprise, as Peter Pan is the most fantastical of any of Walt Disney's films. Three children in London - Wendy, John, and Michael - are whisked from reality into a world where youth is eternal and adventure is at every turn. People fly, mermaids speak, and pirates see children as their most formidable opponents.
It is also a world in which battles are commonplace and responsibility is elusive. In this way, Peter Pan is very much a male fantasy. Masculinity is reinforced not only by the swashbuckling sword fights, but by the female characters' endless fawning over Peter as well. A feminine audience can enjoy Peter Pan too, though, as Peter's continual rescue of Wendy and Tinker Bell's jealous pursuit of the same offer strong modes of romantic fantasy that traditionally appeal to a feminine sentiment.
The story extends fantasy to every age group too. In Never Land, children are revered and adults are made the enemy. As is so often the case with these enduring magical tales, children are empowered and made the center of attention. Adults are assured that they won't be denied an escape either, though, as the promise of Never Land is that we all can hold on to our childhood forever. Faith, trust, and pixie dust need not succumb to the passage of time.
In fact, the indulgence in escapist fantasy in this film goes a little too far. Of all of Walt Disney's most revered classics, I find Peter Pan the easiest to criticize. That's primarily because it stays so close to the surface. Characters aren't explored here in the way that they are in many of Disney's films. There's a lot of potential for interrogation of these characters, as Barrie's original texts are rich with internal conflict. Peter's loneliness, romantic tension between him and Wendy, and fear of the unknown are occasionally implied but mostly ignored. Instead of delving into these themes, the film is deprived of sentiment until the very last scene.
Fortunately, audiences bring with them a lot of knowledge about Peter Pan and Never Land, ideas they've picked up from its countless other incarnations over the years. This allows the film to be enjoyed in a broader context. When visual gags go on in rapid (and perhaps excessive) succession, the audience can fill in motivation that they understand from a cultural discourse about this story that has taken place for more than a century. There is one central theme of Barrie's text that is magnificently captured in Disney's Peter Pan, though, and it is the key to unlocking Never Land: the spirit of youth and adventure. That takes us right back to the rich fantasy that sets this movie apart and the heart of what makes it so successful as a film, despite its shortcomings. Despite anything else he's not, Disney's interpretation of Peter Pan is the embodiment of boyhood. There is a likable arrogance in his demeanor and it is pervasive throughout all the film's characteristics.
The score is particularly effective in this regard. One of Disney's best, it manages to sum up everything that the movie is about in a few toots of the pan flute. The songs, too, resonate with this theme. "You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly" and "The Second Star to the Right" are among the studio's most memorable, while even some of the less popular ones stand out as underrated gems. There's not a bad song or segment of score in the whole film.
The characters, even if sometimes two-dimensional, are immediately endearing, as they show off common attributes of humanity - anger, jealousy, attraction - with humor. Smee is a personal favorite, while Captain Hook is indisputably one of Disney's greatest villains, simultaneously amusing and horrifying. Tinker Bell is less annoying here than she is many other adaptations. Perhaps that's because Disney treats her as a real character - nearly human, rather than merely a sprite. Mr. and Mrs. Darling, who foreshadow Mary Poppins' Mr. and Mrs. Banks, serve just the purpose they need to and are entirely believable in their vital-though-small roles, providing perfect bookends to the tale. Michael adds to the lovability of the movie, while John's sense of English propriety elicits laughter. Wendy's plight is always sympathetic, making her an ideal protagonist, while Peter is the very definition of hero.
The voice acting goes a long way in bringing these characters to life. Bobby Driscoll (Peter), Kathryn Beaumont (Wendy), Bill Thompson (Smee), and Hans Conried (Mr. Darling and Captain Hook) are especially tremendous in their roles. This film is as vocally outstanding as any and the performances are arguably most responsible for the endurance of these characters.
Of course, the animation mustn't be slighted, emerging from the medium's most vibrant era. The character design is perfectly matched with the voice acting and is nothing short of amazing. The background designs are even more impressive, Never Land in particular. The imaginative depiction of Barrie's fantasy land is simply remarkable. It's no wonder that audiences have felt so attached to the place ever since.
Darker adaptations of Peter Pan have come closer to the heart of the original story, but there's something uniquely special about Disney's. Never has a take on Barrie's tale more fully realized a spirited sense of adventure or concerned itself so much with creating a world of fantasy. Though its weaknesses make it ripe for criticism, it's important to note that the movie is still a winner in the end.
Disney's Peter Pan has come to DVD twice before. It was one of the studio's first nine animated films to appear on the format as part of the Limited Issue collection in 1999. A barebones release with shaky quality and no frills, it was upgraded to a Special Edition in 2002. Boasting a new restoration and a number of bonus features, the Special Edition was much more successful than the Limited Issue had been and was, at the time, considered to be one of Disney's best single-disc DVDs.
In 2003, Disney announced that Peter Pan and a few other films would be joining the Platinum Edition collection, originally reserved for the ten most popular Disney animated features. At long last, the 2-Disc Platinum Edition of Peter Pan has finally arrived. It is the first movie in the Platinum collection to have been released to DVD twice previously, but despite that, it is far from the most comprehensive set in the line. Originally thought to be coming further down the line, it was scheduled for Spring 2007 in order to promote Tinker Bell, a spin-off movie that had, until recently, been planned for a debut in the same time span. The marketing-conscious decision led many to worry that the DVD's quality would be sacrificed for expediency's sake. Has that been the case? Let's turn to the rest of the discs' content to find out. VIDEO and AUDIO
The standards for Disney DVD were quite a bit lower when the Peter Pan: Special Edition was released in early 2002 than they are today. That reissue offered a significant improvement over the Limited Issue and was generally received as rather impressive. In the current Platinum era, however, Appropriately presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1 ("fullscreen" -- the last of Walt's animated features to unquestionably be so), the movie is a spectacular sight to behold in its newest transfer. Bright, colorful, and vivid, Peter Pan looks better than it ever has here and as good as Lowry's other efforts in the past. Gone is the grain and inconsistency (mild thought they were) from the Special Edition. Instead, the picture is entirely clean, leaving one to wonder if that sparkle emanates from Tinker Bell or is just a sign of a job well done. While the Special Edition is acceptable, it simply doesn't dazzle in the way that this new release does.
Colors differ drastically from the Special Edition, generally looking far less pale or washed out in the new transfer. Hook's pirate map goes from blue-tinted to brown and his coat lining from a mossy green to a goldenrod. Without the original artwork to reference, it's difficult to say just which is the most accurate. On the whole, the colors make the most sense in the new transfer, so I'm apt to believe that the Platinum Edition is the closer of the two. It's certainly a more colorful movie when viewed on this new set. Those who felt Cinderella's clean was a little too squeaky needn't worry, though -- it's bright and vibrant, but not quite that bright and vibrant, and no sense of antiquity has been betrayed here. Screencap from the 2002 Special Edition DVD The same frame as it appears on this Platinum Edition DVD The movie is treated to four audio tracks, two of them in English. The first is the all-new 5.1 Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix. Like the transfer, this new audio presentation is a significant improvement on the 5.1 Surround track offered on the Special Edition. Though the Enhanced Home Theater Mix still lacks the resource of ambient sounds that would fill the rear channels in a more recent film, it manages to keep them surprisingly active. Sound effects and score are called upon throughout to make for a much more enveloping experience. The front channels are appropriately mixed as well. In terms of clarity, one couldn't ask for more, as the track is entirely problem-free. Bass, while not entirely absent, is lacking, but that's probably to be expected. For a 1953 film, the Enhanced Home Theater mix is fantastic.
Purists will be delighted to find a 1.0 Mono track, which replicates the original theatrical presentation. The few scenes I viewed with this monaural track sounded similarly pleasing. The sound is entirely clear and volume is more than sufficient. There's also a French and Spanish track, each presented in 5.1 Surround. Viewing select scenes suggests that the French track sounds about as good as the English one but that the Spanish track suffers from slight distortion.
Overall, the audio and video presentation on this DVD are top-notch. My only disappointment is that the score -- one of Disney's best -- couldn't have been presented in an isolated track. In every other regard, the fans have been served well.
It's also worth noting that the original RKO logo that appeared at the front of the film has been kept in tact. (It follows, as it has in past home video incarnations, the light blue on blue Walt Disney Pictures castle logo.) As usual, Disney has added a few DVD credits onto the end of the film. In the past, these credits have seamlessly matched the pace and design of the original credits. This time, these credits depart entirely from the film's closing and instead use concept art as backgrounds. They still look nice, but the change in credits is immediately obvious. I would have preferred the matching efforts made on previous releases.
Disc One's most substantial bonus feature is, of course, the feature-length audio commentary. It will sound familiar to those who already own the Special Edition, as it's the very same one featured on that release. Some might lament such repetition, but the track is more than sufficient as it is and creating a new one would be not only result in some redundancy, but it would frustrate those who don't have the previous release in their collection. The track is hosted by Roy Disney, who introduces excerpts from separately recorded interviews with Kathryn Beaumont, Margaret Kerry, Leonard Maltin, John Canemaker, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Ward Kimball, Marc Davis, Jeff Kurti, and even Walt Disney himself. Walt's comments are, as expected, most interesting -- particularly in their criticism of the movie. Though it's never screen-specific, it is arranged so that the comments have some relevance with that part of the movie; and though it's never technical, it is bursting with insight and knowledge. With most of the original production team aging or deceased, this kind of commentary compilation is probably the best route and definitely something any fan should check out.
There's also a sneak peek at the upcoming Tinker Bell movie (2:24), which looks more disappointing than I could have feared. Let us all hope that the animation, premise, and betrayal of the title character are less offensive in the final project than they look to be from this preview.
Carried over from the Special Edition is "Peter's Playful Prank: Storybook", which tells a very simple Pan-inspired story in storybook form. There are two ways to view it: Read-Along or Read-to-Yourself. The latter is a self-paced journey through this very short story, allowing readers to look at one picture and a few words at a time before "turning" the page. Finally, there is "Disney Song Selection," which provides a sing-along track for every song in the film, save two: "The Elegant Captain Hook" and "What Makes the Red Man Red." The latter, which considers the pigmentation and linguistic uniquities of a stereotypical Native American, is generally considered rather offensive. Unlike the considerably less offensive Song of the South, though, it has not been kept out of the consumer's grasp. Disney is okay with children hearing the song and singing the lyrics, it seems, so long as they don't see them on the screen. Today's tech-savvy children needn't look far for a loophole, though, as the lyrics are presented on-screen in their entirety on Disc Two (more on this later) or can be seen just by making use of the Scene Selection menu and captions for the hearing impaired. I have to wonder if "The Elegant Captain Hook" was excluded for its reference to tattoos. Somehow, "Following the Leader" made the cut, despite lines like "We're off to fight the Injuns."

Most familiar to audiences from the famous stage play, Peter Pan had actually first appeared in the 1902 book The Little White Bird, mere months after Walt Disney's birth. Two years later, the stage play debuted. The Little White Bird was excerpted and repackaged as Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens in 1906, followed by the novelization of the play, Peter and Wendy, in 1911. The play itself was finally published in script form in 1928, the year of Mickey Mouse's birth.
That's not necessarily unfair, as it works; but standing on its own merit, Disney's Peter Pan could be a lot more poignant.
when Lowry Digital (now known as DTS Images) frequently turn out restorations as stunning as those found on Bambi and Cinderella, it would be a disappointment. Fortunately, DTS have stepped in once again to produce an all-new digital restoration of Peter Pan for its Platinum Edition release and have improved upon the Special Edition by leaps and bounds.
The Read-Along option provides a lot more fun, as each page is read aloud and accompanied by all sorts of movement and interactivity. It's too bad that Tinker Bell's name is erroneously unseparated throughout. Though it strays from Barrie's original message a little in order to dispense a quick moral, this feature should be fun enough for kids while offering little of value to anyone in an older crowd.

This application for an NIMH Mentored Research Scientist Career Development (K01) award seeks support to develop a program of research related to understanding the pathways and processes by which children with autism are screened, diagnosed and enter treatment. It is anticipated that as a result of this research, interventions will be developed that decrease the age at which children with autism receive the diagnosis and enter treatment. In addition, the results from this study may inform our understanding of factors affecting the early and appropriate diagnosis of other psychiatric and developmental disorders of childhood, leading to the development of broader interventions to expedite appropriate diagnosis. | 2008 |

Most Millionaire Women Marrying on Financial Par With Men
Margaret CollinsThe majority of women entering multimillionaire marriages are on the same financial footing as men or better, a survey by Bank of America Corp.'s U.S. Trust unit shows.
Fifty-two percent of women came into their marriage or live-in relationship with equal or more assets than their spouse or partner, U.S. Trust said in a study released today. Respondents had at least $3 million in investable assets.
"Women are both wealth creators and wealth inheritors," Chris Heilmann, chief fiduciary executive at U.S. Trust, said in an interview. "They are bringing assets to a relationship."
Women are contributing finances from their careers, inheritances and divorces, Heilmann said. Thirty percent of women said they had entered their relationship with equal financial assets and 22 percent said they had more than their spouse or partner, according to the survey.
There is still a gap when it comes to pay, the study found, as only about a third of female respondents said they are their households' primary earners or contribute an equal amount. The median earnings of women who worked full time was 77 percent of that for men in 2012, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
"Women being on equal footing with men in their finances or financial assets is rather rare," said Deborah Soon, senior vice president of strategy and marketing at New York-based Catalyst Inc., which researches women in the workplace. Women usually get career promotions later than men, which means they lose the value of compounding and fall further behind in building wealth, she said, and they miss opportunities when they leave a job to raise children.
Executive Imbalance
Women make up 4.8 percent of chief executive officers, 8.1 percent of top earners and 16.9 percent of board seats in Fortune 500 companies, according to Catalyst.
The annual nationwide survey of 680 non-U.S. Trust clients was conducted in February and March. About 43 percent of respondents were women and about a third of all those surveyed had more than $10 million in investable assets.
Respondents were asked about marital status, holdings and income. About 547 were married or living with a partner and that group was then asked who brought more assets to the relationship and who was the primary earner. U.S. Trust didn't have comparative data on these questions from last year, Heilmann said.
Stashing Cash
Millionaires still have a high allocation to cash, according to the survey, with women more inclined to keep it that way. Sixty percent of respondents said they had at least 10 percent of their money in cash even as yields on savings and money market accounts hover near record lows. Last year, 56 percent of those surveyed said they had a large amount in cash.
Investors poured money into assets perceived as safe such as bonds and cash after the 2007-2009 financial crisis, when the Standard & Poor's 500 Index of big U.S. stocks lost more than half its value from peak to trough.
People who fled equities remain risk averse or fear they missed gains that won't continue, Heilmann said. The S&P 500 surged 47 percent in the two years ended Dec. 31 as markets rebounded.
U.S. Trust is part of the global wealth and investment management unit of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America. It oversees about $378 billion in client balances and serves those who usually have at least $3 million in investable assets.

Can Blogging Really Be All That Scary?
Well, where do I beginâĶor, how do I begin? This is my very first blog post ever!
If it wasnât for my new friend, Vanessa, at HomeGain, I wouldnât even be here right now. She called and convinced me that Iâd make a good âblogger.â.
âWhy?,â I ask. What exactly is a blog?
My wife is always telling me that Iâm a ânaturalâ blogger. I love to talk with people and I love to write.
Maybe itâs my journalism degree or that I use to be a radio announcer, or that I am also a DJ and emcee at wedding receptions on weekends, or a retired Navy Public Affairs Officer and speech writer for admirals and generals, or a present day Realtor with lots of contacts.
I donât know. But I have heard that âbloggingâ is the thing to do in todayâs world. There are many popular real estate blogs out there, and it seems readership is growing larger all the time.
Itâs one thing to be a reader, though, and another to be a writer. Continue reading this post

transcends any historical reality, which we shall not
explore. What is of interest for this work is the actual
physical kingdom that was the basis for the historical
accounts of Shambhala, which is also rendered Shamballah, Sambala, Shamballa, etc.
The core of our argument lies in the identification of
Shambhala as the source of the Buddhist tantric doctrine
known as Kalachakra.
The Kalachakra tantra is central to Tibetan Buddhism.
However, it wasn't the first form of Buddhism brought
to the country. It arrived only around the 11th century
from India. The Kalachakra, or at least the developed form of the doctrine, came less than a century earlier
to India from Shambhala.
Tradition says that the Buddha first conveyed the Kalachakra dharma
to the Shambhala king Sucandra at a stupa in the southern Indian state
of Andhra Pradesh. From there it was brought by the king
back to Shambhala and preserved there, and only there, until
its return to India in the 11th century.
A close examination of Tibetan history concerning the origin
of the Kalachakra is somewhat divergent.
One version credits the Indian holy man Tsilupa with
bringing the doctrine from Shambhala to India in
966 or 967 AD. This is known in Tibet and Nepal as the
Rva Tradition.
The opposing version is known as the Dro Tradition and
it credits the Shambhala king Sripala with bringing
the Kalachakra to India at about the same time mentioned
in Rva Tradition.
The Tibetan scholar Geshe Lhundub Sopa theorizes that
the Shambhala king Sripala may have been from the area
known in Indian texts as Suvarnadvipa1. He notes that
Sripala is said to have been from the "southern ocean,"
which in Indian geography refers to the eastern
Indian Ocean and South China Sea.
Suvarnadvipa was the Indian term for what we know
today as insular Southeast Asia.
Sopa's theory is not all that far-fetched when one
considers that when the great Indian guru Atisha
visited Suvarnadvipa, he found the Kalachakra Tantra
already well established there.
Inscriptions and artifacts from insular Southeast
Asia verify the presence of Kalachakra doctrine
in the region although they don't tell us exactly
when they first appeared there.
The Kalachakra Tantra is always found within the
context of Vajrayana Buddhism and we know this
form of Buddhism flourished in the region
for centuries before Atisha's time.
The idea of the Shambhala king Sripala, also known
as Kalki Sripala as he belonged to the Kalki or
Kulika lineage, hailing from the Southern Ocean
is supported by traditions popular in Tibet.
The traveller Nicholas Roerich mentions these
traditions that place Shambhala "far beyond
the ocean."
Another view, especially popular in the West is
that Shambhala is located somewhere to the north of
These views seem to stem mainly from passages in
Tibetan texts that mention Shambhala as located
north of the river Sita, or that state travel to
the region started by going in a northern direction.
Those who place Shambhala to the north equate the
Sita with some river to the north, usually the
Jaxartes in present-day Xinjiang.
However, there is also a very strong argument
for the river Sita being located to the east
of India.
The Sita is often said to run through the island
known in Indian texts as Sakadvipa. A number
of important sources state quite explicitely
that Sakadvipa is located to the east of India2.
Futhermore, they give an idea of a tropical location
lush with tropical flora and fauna.
The idea of traveling north to reach Shambhala need not
be problematic if one considers that most of the
ancient itineraries to this destination mentions several changes of direction
on the way to the fabled kingdom. Including in some of
these guidebooks is the mention of voyages across the
The early texts that mention voyages to Shambhala tell
of students and pilgrims who stay there for prolonged
periods of time before returning to Tibet. They no
doubt spoke of a real rather than a mythical place. In
latter texts, the voyages become rare and more fantastic
in nature. They tend to appear only in texts not written
in a historical fashion.
At some point, it appears that the real voyages to
Shambhala ceased for some reason.
However, during the period of historical contact we
know that a direct southern route to Suvarnadvipa
would have probably been more difficult than taking
the Silk Road to the north.
From there one could take a ship from ports on the
East Asian coast particularly off South China. We
know that this was the route taken by many European
travellers during the 13th and 14th centuries
including Marco Polo.
There is one strong argument for a northern location
though -- the mention of the snow-capped mountains
around the capital of Shambhala. We will deal with
this problem in the conclusion when we offer a theory
on a more precise location for the kingdom.
In contrast to the mention of snow mountains,
there are indications of a southern location for
Shambhala as well.
There is a garden there known as Malaya, which is
lush with tropical vegetation including sandalwood
trees. Of course, the
word "malaya" or "malay" is a common placename in insular
Southeast Asia.
Some sources tell of visitors to Shambhala returning
with mangoes or other tropical products.
The many points of coincidence between Shambhala and
the descriptions of the kingdom of Prester John
also allow us to look toward a tropical location
in the "Indies."
The most important document concerning the historical
Prester John is the letter from that fabled monarch to the
the kings of Europe including the Byzantine and
Holy Roman Emperor.
While it is popular these days to dismiss the letter
as a hoax, there is a strong argument of authenticity
as well. We will discuss this in the section on Prester
John's kingdom.
If we accept the description given in Prester John's
letter, we first note that he claims his kingdom extends
over the "Three Indias."
The idea of Three Indias first appears in Europe in
the Ravenna Cosmography which was written in the
7th or 8th century. The concept conforms to that
of the Islamic view of the three Indies -- Hind,
Sind and Zanj.
These were known respectively in Europe as India Major,
extending from Malabar to India extra Gangem (East Indies),
India Minor, from Malabar to Sind, and India Tertia,
the coast of East Africa, specifically the Tanzania region
to the Muslims (Zanj).
The idea of a Central Asian or Siberian region as part of the
the "Three Indias" was not found at this
time, so we can see the southern direction of the kingdom
of Prester John
There a number of interesting correspondences between the
kingdoms of Prester John and Shambhala, which are listed
An account related in the Chronicle of Otto, Bishop of Freising in 1145 appears to allude to a passage
in the Book of Revelation that tells of the drying of the Euphrates River to open the "way of the Kings
of the East." The chronicle states that Prester John was attempting to make his way to rescue Jerusalem.
From the historical perspective, Shambhala is a real land from whence
the Kalachakra came to India and Tibet. The only candidate that we know
of that could fit the bill is Suvarnadvipa.
However, Shambhala continued to be an important destination for pilgrims
and students long afterward.
Tibetan annals not only describe, in a matter-of-fact fashion, Tibetans
going to visit, stay and return from Shambhala, but likewise visitors
from Shambhala are said to come regularly to Tibet! so we know for sure
that there was a period of historical contact between the two regions.
Insular Southeast Asia again fits the bill here and better than any
region in the world.
During the relevant centuries, the region was the premier learning
center in the world of Buddhism. As early as the 7th century, we
hear from the Chinese pilgrim I-Ching about a place in insular
Southeast Asia known as Foshi.
I-Ching wrote that at Foshi "the level of the sciences has reached such a
state, that one can say all the knowledge of the world flows from this
island4." He recommended that Buddhist scholars from China should first
come to Foshi and stay for a year or two before going to India.
In the early 11th century as already mentioned, the great Indian scholar
Atisha came to study under the Buddhist master teacher of Suvarnadvipa
known as Serlingpa or Dharmakirti.
We also learn that the inhabitants of Suvarnadvipa were also interested
in traveling and promoting Buddhism in far-off places. Kings and scholars
from this region ventured into India and donated monasteries and other gifts
particularly in the 10th and 11th centuries.
So Suvarnadvipa in the "southern ocean" fits very well when we consider that
Shambhala was also know as a great place of pilgrimage that sent its
own pilgrims as well. It was likely the home of King Sripala who came
from the same ocean and is credited in the Dro Tradition with bringing
the Kalachakra to India.

Links with Prester John's land
What is equally of interest is the fact that we first hear of Prester John's kingdom in
Europe about a century after the Kalachakra begins to spread to India and Tibet.
"These accursed fifteen nations will burst forth from the four quarters of the earth at the end of the world, in the times of Antichrist, and overrun all the abodes of the Saints as well as the great city Rome, which, by the way, we are prepared to give to our son who will be born, along with all Italy, Germany, the two Gauls, Britain and Scotland. We shall also give him Spain and all the land as far as the icy sea. The nations to which I have alluded, according to the words of the prophet, shall not stand in the judgment, on account of their offensive practices, but will be consumed to ashes by a fire which will fall on them from heaven."
"Near the wilderness trickles between barren mountains a subterranean rill, which can only by chance be reached, for only occasionally the earth gapes, and he who would descend must do it with precipitation, ere the earth closes again."

Persona Development
Empathy is the ultimate form of customer insight.
—Don Peppers
Personas are specific, fully described portraits of your target users. Developed correctly, personas can be invaluable to your organization—both online and offline.
Yeah, but what are personas, exactly?
Typically, personas are presented as a set of individuals who share certain motivations and behaviors. Personas help you think about your audiences as unique, flesh-and-bone people with needs and wants, biases and expectations.
Too often, personas are pulled from thin air—without basis in research. Or worse, organizations substitute marketing demographics for research—e.g., "25-40 year-old males all want to buy X, so we will talk about X."
The Benefits of Personas
Developing personas gives all of our marketing efforts, digital and otherwise, a clear direction. Personas answer questions like:
- What marketing messages work?
- Where should content go?
- What tone should we strike?
- How do we structure our website for different audiences?
- How do we target our marketing and sales projects?
Answering these questions—and the dozens of spin-off questions for each—will give you long-term, clear targets for all of your development, marketing, and product efforts. You'll no longer be operating on hunches or suspicions; you'll design your work and marketing around actual persona types.
Who are your personas?

I woke up in a bad mood this morning, because I didn't get enough sleep and for some reason I immediately started thinking about things that annoyed me. Then I saw some annoying stuff on Facebook. Then there wasn't anything decent to eat for breakfast. But THEN, Kate McKinnon suggested that I come over to her place so she could photograph my "Crooked Muse" hornwing bracelet and we could take a dip in the pool because the weather was perfect. Things just went uphill from there!
Kate took some really lovely shots of my bracelet from all angles. I love how magical it looks against a clean white background! Plus she said lots of nice things about it, and then when she posted it on the Contemporary Geometric Beadwork page on Facebook, lots of other people had nice things to say. So my ego is good and stroked.
And it really was the perfect day for a swim. Not too hot, not too cold, sunny, gorgeous blue sky. I managed to stay in just long enough to cool off and relax, but got out in time to avoid a sunburn (of course I sunscreened, but I am oh-so-pale). I'm still tired, but I'm not at all cranky!
By the way, I mentioned earlier this year that I was going to try to work only in shades of emerald this year, and while this bracelet is definitely teal, there's emerald in it! The main color is DB1764 Aqua/Emerald Lined AB, and the size 11 accents are emerald iris. I've got two dresses in this exact shade of emerald-teal and I've seen a lot of things that color in the stores, so it's a hot one right now. I suggest you all bead something in this color.

UK Consumer finance website MoneySavingExpert.com acquired by MoneySupermarket for up to $133.9m
- 1
Martin Lewis, the consumer finance expert and broadcaster is selling his site MoneysavingExpert.com for around £87m ($133.9m). The site is being acquired by the MoneySupermarket Group.
The site is being purchased for £60m upfront (a mix of cash and shares) with £27m more conditional on meeting non-financial performance targets over the next three years.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
The agreement has been laid out in a news post on MoneySavingExpert (MSE), describing the deal. The Editorial Code has been agreed as part of the sale which means that MSE will still follow its founding principles and remains independent of commercial objectives. This is naturally important if it is to retain it's reputation for impartial advice.
In his editorial on the acquisition, in relation to editorial values, Lewis writes:
Absolutely, we will continue to do what we've always done. MSE and MoneySupermarket will operate as completely separate entities as part of the bigger group. Think of it like the fact Radio 4 and Radio 5 are both part of the BBC but with their own separate editorial stance.
The site has done well over time, growing as a free advice portal for people looking for help with financial questions. But, Lewis is not a money-grabbing expert and so a £10m donation to charity will come from the deal. Citizens Advice, which deals with legal problems, debt and consumer issues will get £1 million, and the remaining £9 million is going to a Charities Aid Foundation trust.
The MSE team will also share a chunk of the deal value and Lewis will continue as Editor-in-Chief of MSE in sole charge of the site.
The MSE site is seeing healthy traffic with around 39 million unique visitors and approximately 277 million page impressions in the year ended 31 October 2011.
MSE has also long provided a weekly email, which is sent out to around 5 million addresses, with all recipients having opted in to recieve it.
As ever MSE is clear about the financial process and has further explained what will happen next. The deal has to be cleared by the Office of Fair Trading, shareholder approval and other conditions also need to be checked out.
Lewis explained his choices a little more with the statement:
"I chose MoneySupermarket to work with as I know and trust them. They understand the site, as they've shown by agreeing the Editorial Code, which ensures our content can proudly remain editorially independent and free from commercial considerations."
Peter Plumb, CEO of MoneySupermarket is naturally also pleased with the deal and says:
"We've worked closely together for years with the common goal of helping customers save money. By joining forces we can get more people to save more money. We'll help MoneySavingExpert reach a wider audience and it will broaden the range of advice and tools we offer, encouraging even more people to take action, tap into the benefits of the internet to find a better deal and make the most of their money."

Custom mobile case designer for magento
- Status Closed
- Budget $750 - $1500 USD
- Total Bids 17
Project Description
Lets try again, our last contractor could not fullfill the job so it would work in magento.
We will start to sell custom mobile and tablet covers to our customers, therefore we need an designer app, so our customer can upload their picture make it fit like they want on the case, and send it to us.
We will print it and use 3d sublimation, so the picture will go down on the side on case, therefore should the illustration the customer could see contain both one side and the back
Take a look at this - [url removed, login to view] it should work exactly like this, but we want it to show one of the sides of the cover also. A bit like this [url removed, login to view]
Function list in the designer app:
Upload picture
Import picture from facebook
Import picture from instagram
Grid / layout designs
Choose background color
It should be able to send the order in to our shop in magento so they can pay, and it should upload the picture/design to an server so we can print it.
For a start you should make it work with iPhone 4 and 5, samsung galaxy 3 and 4, Ipad mini and normal ipads. When new models are on the market you will be rehired to get those cases to fit.
It can NOT be done in flash, it should work on tablets ass well, so AJAX and php must be the way i think. PLS MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN GET IT TO WORK ON TABLES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.
Don't just send a standard application you send to all, you will be filtered, and WE WILL NOT HIRE YOU. So write an application to this, on how you can make it, and how long time it will take. And pls try the designer we have linked to so you know what you are bidding on. When we have agreed a fixed price, that is the price - so don't come afterwards and say, oohhh i did not know that.
You need to make the designer fucntion, not a webshop or anything, just the design function.
Due to our past hire we lost a bit of money because of upfront payment. You are able to build the technique on your own servers, and when you are done and it is tested you should transfer it to our server.
So this is the demands - 0% upfront, 75% milestone when you are done and it is tested by us on your server 25% when it is installed and works on our servers. If you can't accept theese demands, please don't apply.
If the budget is too small, make your offer then.

60 Years of Topps Baseball Countdown – #35: 2010 Topps
by Drew Pelto, AKA *censored*
Wow, have I ever been busy. I just noticed it's been almost a month since my last article. Unfortunately, it only gets worse as the NAHL season starts this week. Actually, that may be better– I have plenty of downtime on road trips.
In hindsight, there's one thing I wish I had done with this whole series of articles. As I was starting on it, I thought "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to open a pack of each of these sets and kind of just write about what I got in them along with the review of the set?" But by the time I had that idea, I had already posted the intro and two articles, and realized that anything from before 1980 would be way out of my price range. Maybe I can do it in 2026 when Topps hits 75 years, and even put it into book form.
You may remember when I wrote about 2009 and 2011 Topps that I had only bought one pack of each of those seasons' Topps sets. Sadly, I have more of those than I have of 2010, where I bought a whole zero packs and only traded for a few autographed singles. So I'm going into this one somewhat blindly.
Of course, one could say the same about me reviewing the older sets. It's not like I have many cards from the 1950's or 1960's sets. In fact, I think I have a whole two Topps cards in my own collection from before 1972 (a 1971 Gary Neibauer– no, I don't know who he is either– and a 1959 Hal Naragon– former Indians' catcher). So like those sets, it involves a lot of reliance on photos online and just reading through the checklists to get it done.
Why didn't I buy much in 2010? Mostly I had other things to use my money on. My wife and I were planning a trip to Minnesota (which we will be doing again this weekend), and we had a Texas Rangers' ticket deal, so we had to save money for gas for the 4-hour round-trip drive to games. And it was around this time that I stopped caring about the new sets. The 2007 fake error revolution was starting to sour me on the new Topps releases.
But despite my lack of interest, I really liked the design Topps used. It's rare that a team is depicted by anything other than plain text or the team logo. But this time, borrowing a page from 1991, Topps used the team's text logo on the front of the card. Frankly I wish that was used more often. Logos are good and all, but using an alternate form with the jersey text instead of the cap insignia is a nice change of pace.
The front has all the info I like– player name, team name/insignia, and position, all well-placed and well-designed. They continued the A/B variation idea that I loathe, so it loses some points there. And the Abe Lincoln on Cubs cards idea. What next, Monica Lewinsky on the Nationals cards? Come on now. And the "Pie in the Face" variations– why only Yankees in Series 1? They aren't the only team to do it. Nor are they the inventors of it. More "force the Yankees down everyone's throat" ideas from our favorite New York based card manufacturers. Thankfully (I guess) they added others in Series 2.
I like the backs too. I'll admit, I'm a major stat geek. I've spent two years trying to apply Sabermetric ideas and principles to the world of junior hockey. So far, it is a failed venture. Anyways, Topps has started including OPS in the past few years on hitters' cards and WHIP on pitchers' cards. Good stuff. I love advanced stats like those, even if they're the most basic ones. If they had more room, I'd love to see VORP, WARP, and Win Shares added, but there's only so much you can do in a 2.5"x3.5" space without requiring the use of an electron microscope. Maybe get rid of the overrated RBI column.
I feel spot #35 is warranted in spite of all the design strengths. The reason being we don't know much about the rookie crop in this set just yet. Sure, you get Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Carlos Carrasco, Josh Thole, Michael Brantley, Jason Heyward, Austin Jackson, and Stephen Strasburg among a group of 56 rookies, but to me, you can't get a truly accurate judgment on the talent of a rookie class until 5-10 years after their debut. You could get some future Hall of Famers here. You could also get some Hall of Really Good or Hall of What Could Have Been types. Posey's leg, Strasburg's elbow, Heyward's actual talent, Grady Sizemore's occasional abilities and health limiting Brantley's playing time, they're all up in the air right now. This set has Top-15 or even Top-20 potential depending on how the players eventually pan out.
I'm still amazed that I didn't buy any packs of this. Anyone want to give me a few?
About the Author: Drew Pelto is in too much shock that he didn't open a 2010 Topps pack to write anything significant in the "About the Author" section. He wrote this back on Memorial Day while listening to KMFDM because off-days are highly conducive to that sort of stuff. And because he has a major crush on Lucia Cifarelli.

Many of us want as many Yankees as we can get, they are the most prominent and loved and hated team in baseball. They can force all the Yankees they want down my throat, in fact, i have 9 different Yankees pie in the face cards, i love them. I do like the overall design of these cards pretty much, and they used good pictures and good quality printing. I agree i dont want any more fake error cards for sure!!! Overall, a decent set, not the greatest design, but pretty nice. Good to see you posting your comments again.
I would like to see OBP on the cards. I'll second your idea, put OBP and SLG on the back.
Back to 2010, it's a meh design to me. Just like 2009, the position on the front of the card is printed so small it might as well not be there at all. The player names are hard to read too, it only looks good in the botched Chrome set. It is growing on me though, the team wordmark looks good how they did it.

Goldman executives offered tentatives outlooks for the firm's prospects
New York – Arabstoday
Goldman Sachs on Tuesday reported slightly higher first-quarter earnings on increased investment banking activities but became the latest banking giant to give a cautious appraisal of the global economy.
Goldman posted net
income of $2.2bn on $10.1bn in revenues, up from the prior-year level of $2.1bn in profits on $9.9bn in revenues.
Goldman reported 35 percent higher revenues in investment banking compared with last year; this category included large increases in equity and debt underwriting. These gains helped offset a modest decline in advisory services on mergers and acquisitions.
The firm\'s investment management division also posted revenue gains. Goldman\'s equity securities revenues rose 24 percent compared with the year-ago level, helping to offset a three percent decline in debt securities and loans.
But the banking giant said revenues in fixed income, currency and commodities client execution -- the company\'s trading division -- were seven percent below the year-ago levels. Goldman also said net revenues in equities were 15 percent below the year-ago levels.
Operating expenses were essentially unchanged compared with a year ago. The company trimmed total staff one percent compared with the end of 2012, Goldman said.
Goldman chief executive Lloyd Blankfein lauded the \"generally solid results,\" but included a cautious note in his appraisal. Executives from JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup have offered similarly tentative outlooks in recent days.
\"The potential for macro-economic instability was felt in the quarter and constrained overall corporate and investor activity,\" Blankfein said. \"We continue to be very focused on controlling our costs and efficiently managing our capital.\"
Goldman shares were up 1.0 percent in pre-market trading.

Calling Beginners....
A call for beginner sewers, those who may only have ever sewn on a button or a name label- and the more experienced too- I am running an evening English paper piecing workshop on Thursday 25th October 7-9.30pm at the beautiful vintage shop, Arrietty, in Exeter, Devon. No sewing machine is needed, hand sewing only and here is a little showcase of what we will be making...
A mini hexie pincushion in vintage fabrics, I selected these to form a pastel rainbow of prints
On the reverse of the same pincushion I used rich full coloured vintage scraps for a vibrant rainbow palette...
Or if you prefer, a hexie mug mat/coaster. I used a mix of modern fabrics for this project, I like to tell a little story with my fabric choices!
And on the reverse...
Both pretty projects are made with simple hand-sewing stitches and would make lovely gifts. I will be providing a selection of fabric scrap bags including some wonderful vintage scraps from my stash along with the die cut hexagon paper templates, stuffing/wadding and thread. All you will need is basic sewing supplies- sharp scissors for cutting fabric and thread, needle and pins.
For those comfortable using a sewing machine, Mary Emmens is also running a class for zip purses, 18th October. You can contact Laurel and Dan at Arrietty to book your place on any Arrietty classes here and here or ring 01392 276215. Can't make it? There is always a whole extended weekend of sewing in London Fat Quarterly Retreat- tickets on sale now and I will be teaching again! More details on that very soon but I can hint that if you have ever wanted to try clothes sewing a beginner's class will be on offer! It will be bigger than last year with more tutors and activities- I can't wait!
18 comments:
I'm absolutely in love with those itsy bitsy li'l scissors. Please can you tell where you got them from? Great pincushion. If we lived a little closer I would have popped in just to say Hi.
ReplyDeleteI really love your little gold scissors in the photos...can you share where you bought them?
Thank you for taking the time out to leave your thoughts. I always try to reply if I can find your email in your profile. Questions will be answered within the comments so others can read them too.

TechRepublic member lcallander asked me for some suggested reading material, with a rather intriguing sci-fi stipulation:
"I was rereading an old post, where guys were reminiscing about reading 'Heinlein, Asimov, and Clark,' my personal favorites. I got out of reading SF in the '80s and am bewildered by the variety today. What do guys who liked H, A, and C read today?"
Well, that's a really interesting question. I'm really only able to answer the Heinlein part of it, since I've read very, very little Clarke or Asimov (blasphemy, I know). John Scalzi's Old Man's War, The Ghost Brigades, and The Last Colony are openly admitted Heinlein pastiches, the first of which won the Campbell Award and was nominated for the Hugo.
Scalzi's style is breezy and easy to pick up, so I'd start there. I'm also told (though haven't read) that John Varley's Red Thunder and Red Lightning ably pick up the Rocket Ship Galileo torch. That's about the extent of my advice.
Thankfully, Amazon.com can actually help some here. (Shocking, I know.) See, Amazon has a nice bit of collaborative filtering that lets you view items that Amazon customers bought before and after buying a product that you're interested in. That's a fancy way of saying: These people bought X and also bought Y, so if you like X, odds are you'll also like Y.
So, let's take Stranger in a Strange Land (my favorite Heinlein novel) and check out its extended list of Customers Also Bought items, scrolling until we find some modern stuff not written by Uncle Bob himself. Filtering out the usual suspects of Hugo winners who get bought out of sheer notoriety, we find: Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Now, let's do the same thing with Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama, and we get: Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. For Asimov's Foundation we get: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.
Do this for a number of books by Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein, and you'll begin to get a picture of where adherents of the Old Masters go to sate their sci-fi thirst today. Do the same for Hyperion, Red Mars, and Ender's Game, and you'll link into a web of recommendations that open whole new doors of possibility.
Of course, for all of Amazon's tech, there's nothing like a good old-fashioned reader recommendation. So, how about it Geekenders — what modern writer (published since 1990) would most satisfy a fan of Asimov, Clarke, and/or Heinlein? Post your recommendations in the comments sections. With any luck, we can help a fellow member out (and maybe even attract some SFSignal attention).

In the below recipe, I reduced the amount of sauce by a third — the sauce-to-bread ratio was too high for my taste in the original.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 1 or 2 baking dishes and line with a single layer of toast. Cover bread with turkey slices.
In a large bowl, beat egg and milk together until completely combined.
Melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and salt and cook a few minutes, whisking constantly.
Slowly pour milk into pan, whisking continuously. Stir in ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Heat until just beginning to simmer (small bubbles will begin to form). Continue at just below a simmer (do not let boil) until mixture is thick enough to heavily coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in whipping cream and additional salt and pepper.
Pour sauce over turkey and sprinkle with reserved ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, until golden-brown spots appear.
Remove from heat and top with bacon, tomato and parsley.

At the begining of the season I had the Broncos pegged as a lock for a top five pick. Losing a franchise QB an expected move to the 3-4 without a NT all these things seemed to look dim. Now they are 4-0 beating a bunch of lame teams then the Dallas Cowboys. Honestly I though 2-2 preseason. Now it is almost completely ruled out unless they completely **** the rest of the season. I now am ready to dine on the nasty taste of crow.
No announcement yet.

Were 1-0 against non flop teams where we don't win on a miracle play. 4-0 is 4-0, and we have that much better of a chance of making the playoffs, but I am still used to the Shanahan era. I am used to Denver Broncos teams that start off strong and fade. So, we'll see. This all just feels like deja vu of a few years ago where we had an amazing defense thru the first few weeks. Just being pessimistic to avoid a let down. All to familiar. Still, go Broncos.

Originally posted by slightlyabroncosfan View PostI know how you feel. Orton even looks like Plummer, what with the facial hair and all. And the left handed interceptions. This would be ******* freaky, if we had a backup that was like Jay.
I have always been on McDaniels side as far as the Cutler situation went. Cutler put himself before the team, and that just doesn't fly in the Belichick/McDaniels or even the Parcells philosophy. These are proven winning philosophies in the NFL. I thought the Broncos would be around 8-8. I did not give McDaniels near the credit it look likes he deserves. The Wild Horses package was incredibly efficient today. Orton makes good decisions and has protected the ball. Nolan has implemented his system seamlessly and the personnel has taken to it faster than I thought possible. Lastly, I thought Brandon Marshall was going to maneuver his way out of Denver, and now he is only on his way to a huge payday. McDaniels resolve and belief in himself through offseason adversity seems to have been adopted by this team every Sunday. Very impressive... and congrats to you Broncos fans.

Sister Maria Patience
Maria has a cold, and so she and I have had some extra time together at home. She's slowed down a bit, and of course her coughing is worse at night, so she's very drowsy in the morning, and she even napped (once) during the day. Otherwise, her energy doesn't seem to wane. It's quite possible she even has as much, or more, energy than Ferris El Gato Spazo... remarkably, I caught him napping, but it only lasted three minutes.
Her first day home, she and I found some charm packs, pre-cut quilting squares, in the fabric stash, and we spent a good while laying them out and deciding on our favorite configuration for a quilt. That was fun, and it's a shame Max wasn't with us, because he has terrific quilt design skills. The prints we found are old-fashioned reproduction style prints, so our Get Well Quilt will have a classic and sweet patchwork look. Maria snipped threads and supplied pins while I pieced the twelve nine patch blocks.
Maria has always been by my side while I sew. And for more than three years she has been happy to snip threads, sort buttons, reconfigure straight pins, and even cut her own fabric scraps. It really should come as no surprise that she is ready for new challenges with a needle and thread.
Her second day home, Maria really, really wanted me to find something fun to do with her. And while she rattled off suggestions, I kept going back to sewing... what could she and I do together with a needle and thread?
I love to embroider, and recently Alicia Paulson, of Posy Gets Cozy, has been re-sparking my interest. Even when she isn't sewing I always find beauty and thoughtfulness at Posy Gets Cozy. Her new book is available, and it looks as full and inspiring as Stitched In Time, her first book. (Santa? How are you? Are you paying attention? ... hint hint)
When I asked Maria if she would like to learn how to embroider, make pictures by sewing, she reached a new level of animated and vocalized joy!
We started with a pencil drawing, and I resisted suggesting she "add more" or ask "what else do you want in your picture?" I knew her simple and dear daisy would be perfect for a beginner. I was very concerned about not overwhelming her, because even an experienced stitcher can run in to frustrating snags.
She chose her brown for the soil, and I pulled three threads of floss, then threaded the wide eyed needle. With a knot at the bottom, I positioned the needle at the base of her garden soil, and she took over from there.
I showed her how to make smaller stitches as she went around curves. We chatted amiably about the patience it takes to sew, and she agreed it was important to go slowly, not rush. She asked again, about how long to make a stitch, or where to put the needle when coming through the bottom. She kept the thread from tangling, or slipping off the needle, and she said things like, "My heart comes truly love." And "This makes my life come true." And "Mommy, you and I are sewing like ladies. I love this so much."
She was so calm, and so immersed in the quiet pleasure, that it was like sewing with a much more experienced student, and I was even able to do a little sewing too. She anticipated the colors she wanted to use for the petals. She worked well independently, and she was never disappointed about accepting help.
I have been sewing for a long time, and as I try to remember my first experience I can be almost certain that I was never this patient or naturally skilled. In fact, I am not sure I am as calm and serene, as she is, even now! I think she is a good influence on me.
She finished the dirt, the stem, and the curved leaves, she even finished the round, yellow flower head. And this morning, between coughs, she is asking if we can mix thread colors for the petals. "I want to finishing sewing Mom. Can we get started sewing, please?"
You'll excuse me, please...
Cure It,
Life and Details,

How fantastic that you are able to commemorate all these small joys in your life! This post brings me back to when I decided I wanted to try cross-stitching. My mother had been frustrated by my total lack of interest in knitting, but now I have fond memories of starting out projects with both her and my grandmother.
I haven't done any for decades, but still have several framed on my wall, along with a beautiful piece of embroidery my grandmother did for me when she learned her sight was failing, while she could still see.
Such great memories you've brought up for me, and created for you and Maria. "Sigh" is so right...

Java DB, MySQL and MySQL Connector/J
Dear Friends,
I am confused about the above subject. I already have an Eclipse IDE installed on my computer but I bought this book "Java How to Program" and there are some issues raised before using the book like downloading Java DB, MySQL and MySQL Connector/J for me to be able to use JDBC to interact with MySQL. My question is that "is it compulsory that I install all this packages or they come by default with Eclipse IDE to be able to use JDBC".
I look forward to reading from you soonest.
Re: Java DB, MySQL and MySQL Connector/J
Nothing at all to do with Networking. Moving to JDBC.
dbIf you're forever cleaning cobwebs, it's time to get rid of the spiders.
Re: Java DB, MySQL and MySQL Connector/J
You can use JavaDB (not 'Java DB') aka Derby without downloading anything extra; it comes clubbed with the JDK. For other databases like MySQL etc. consult the home page for the product where you will usually find adequate details regarding its use.
