Building the Architecture for Analytic Competition
Lost amid the conversation on big data and the accelerating advancement of just about every aspect of enterprise software that manages information are the things that hold it all together. Yet this is critical: information-management components must come together in a meaningful fashion or there will be unneeded redundancy and waste and opportunities missed. Considering that optimizing the information asset goes directly to the organization's bottom line, it behooves us to play an exceptional game— not a haphazard one—with our technology building blocks.
My new white paper, sponsored by Teradata, defines and discusses architecture for the modern competitive company. With a focus on Design Patterns and Implementation Alternatives and Architecture Principles and Advocated Positions, it outlines what information architecture is and its importance to an analytics strategy.

Electro, Aggrotech and Industrial inspired duo, with a bit of a Gothic edge, formed out of Mexico in 1993 by Erk Aicrag (Erik Garcia), who sings the lyrics and vocals, and Racso Agroyam (Oscar Mayorga), who does programming, but both cousins had been experimenting with Electronic Dance Music, plus mixing Industrial and Electronic Body Music, since they were fifteen years old.
Their name is pronounced "Osziko"
Given the influence of varying currents of electronic music (mainly Skinny Puppy) they began their journey in 1989 in a project called "Niñera Degenerada". Their lyrics are both in Spanish as well as English.
The Spanish word hocico means snout, and is used in Mexico as a disrespectful way to describe someone's comments coming out of their mouth.
Agroyam has a side project called Dulce Liquido, while Aicrag has one called Rabia Sorda.

'Despicable Me 3' Trailer Debuts!
December 15, 2016

Regardless of whether or not you're a fan of the Despicable Me franchise, Illumination Entertainment is making a 3rd film! And the first trailer for Despicable Me 3 has recently debuted!
From what I see in the trailer, I feel that this film will be….okay, at best, something along the lines of Despicable Me 2 quality. The villain seems quite annoying and I know I'm alone in this, but I miss the Minions' presence in the trailer. (Oh, and I love Gru's singing voice!) Hopefully the film (which is set to be released on June 30, 2017) will exceed my expectations!
What do you all think of the trailer? Are you interested in a 3rd Despicable Me film? Let me know in the comments below!

Animation News al pacino, animated film, animated movie, animation, benjamin bratt, box office, despicable me, despicable me 2, illumination entertainment, kristen wiig, miranda cosgrove, russell brand, steve carell, steve coogan 7 Comments
The long-awaited sequel from Illumination Entertainment, "Despicable Me 2", has shown itself to be an instant hit! With a 5-day weekend gross of $142 million, it wouldn't surprise me if this film outgrosses "Monsters University"! Have you seen the film? If so, what did you think of it? If not, do you plan to see it?
I'm anxiously awaiting its DVD release, although I'm still upset that Al Pacino isn't in it anymore 😦 !

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
So many times developers create the same sort of game over and over again, to the point where they wear out the genre. Now Midway has taken the third person action genre and put quite a few different twists and turns to create a very unique mind-boggling action game. It's Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy and it's a whole lot of fun.
Its one thing to have the stealth genre and another thing to have the arcade style shoot em up games. But it's a whole other story when you combine the mind with the gun. And that's exactly what Midway has done with this extremely fun mostly fast paced third person shooter title.
You start the game with some opening cut scenes. These introduce you to your character special agent Nick Scryer, who has his brain washed and forgets all of his prior telepathic skills. The Movement (the bad guys in the game) really just take this super hero sort of character and creates him into you everyday GI Joe. Following his unit being captured he stumbles across double agent Sarah who puts some sort of substance in Nick to help him regain his memory. This story was actually quite interesting throughout the entire game, it really kept me interested and wanting to keep playing. You will find that through this game you we remember more and more of your prior skills to help you make your way through the game.
Let me tell you something, you start the game for the first ten to fifteen minutes or so without much at all. Just a simple gun, and your melee attacks, no mind controlling powers just yet. You go through this portion of the game having to learn how to use the stealth and just flat out shooting down enemies. This is pretty short-lived as your melee attacks and your guns end up taking a back seat in this game.
Once your character starts to regain his memory, you will go through this in game tutorials, which help you regain your skills. This is where the heart and the fun of the game truly lie. You start off by learning the basics, which is picking up guards and throwing them and picking up objects and throwing those objects at the guards. From there you will go on to learn remote viewing which allows you to look ahead of where you are and shows what you are facing in the coming rooms. You can also take energy out (gain life) of live enemies, to help replenish your own. This can be done in two ways' - the most beneficial way is to sneak up on guards and suck out all the life from him. Or you can throw the guard around a bit and then suck what is left out of him. Later on in the game you will be discovering more and more abilities that I won't spoil for you, but you can see when you get there.
So the million-dollar question is, does this all work? And my simple answer is yes, and quite well. You go through the game with a great story and a great combination of stealth and action, and in the later levels strategy. The entire game goes at a very fast pace, and depending on the difficulty setting you have it on will depend on how much action your getting yourself into. The different difficulty settings have some distinct variations to them. You not only will get more enemies in the harder difficulty levels but you will also get a lot more of them. Let's just say that there is a huge difference between the easy difficulty setting and the hard.
The gameplay of Psi Ops is fast paced and a whole lot of fun. The game is truly addictive, with the ability to pick up and object and just throw it at enemies there has never been anything like it. Or if you get really bored to just start throwing enemies all over the vast environments can also be a blast to play. There is nothing like throwing your enemies all over the place, and watching the rag-doll effects, courtesy of the powerful HAVOC engine. Overall I must say I don't have much to complain about. This was just a solid game that had all the right making for a solid third person action game.
We have seen so many great looking games hit the Xbox that the standards have been raised quite a few times since the console was released a few years ago. The graphics have become sharper, crisper, and a whole lot more detailed. Gamers have become even pickier over the years. So how does Psi Ops meet these tough standards?
Well Psi Ops is not going to blow anyone away with it's visuals but it does a wonderful job of making the game a fun experience. And I say that because the rag doll effects in the game are just down right great. You watch the enemies being thrown all over the environments is just a great thing to watch. The rest of the graphics are pretty solid. Nick himself has quite a bit of detail but nothing over the top. The environments are all interactive but aren't the best looking. After time you feel like you have been through the same environments more then once.
Overall the game has pretty good graphics. It won't win any awards or be remembered for the graphics, but it does enough to compliment the stellar gameplay.
Fun Factor
Psi Ops is one of the most enjoyable third person action games I have played in a long time. It was a nice breath of fresh air to have these telepathic abilities that worked so well with the game. I must hand it to the developers for doing a great job of putting all of Nick's abilities to use and at the right times. They split up the game in a way that I think was dead on; you get just enough action and strategy mixed in this game.
Psi Ops was just a great game all the way around. It probably won't be on anyone's game of the year nominations but it will be in plenty of households giving gamers a great third person telepathic action time. If you are wondering if you should purchase this game I would give it a definite recommendation and for those of you who are skeptical you can't go wrong by renting this game.

This is the story of Lewis and Clark as told by Seaman, Captain Lewis's Newfoundland dog who accompanied the Corps of Discovery on their epic journey to the Pacific Ocean in 1804-6. I'd seen this book before and was very intrigued. I love history. I've taught this subject several times for homeschool as each of my kids passed through American history in 5th and 8th grades. I've done some additional reading just for my own interest, including parts of Lewis's journals, which are free for Kindle, thought they are a bit tedious for pleasure reading. And I watched a fabulous documentary of the journey by Ken Burns (which just so happens to be free on Amazon with a Prime membership—American Lives, Season 1, Episodes 12-13). But I've never read this book. I've wanted to. I finally bought it after reading another Roland Smith novel that I was thoroughly impressed with (Peak).
So, did I love it? Well, not as I loved Peak. A middle grade narrative voiced by a dog just doesn't have the same resonance as a young adult novel, no matter how epic the subject matter. But I did like it. A lot. It's engaging and eminently readable. I now wish I had used this book in my homeschool classroom. It definitely has a place on the school shelf. I believe middle graders interested in the historic journey will thoroughly enjoy this one, and I think it will pique the interest of those less inclined to enjoy history.
The journey, which spanned two and a half years, has been pared down extensively in this book. The expedition was a scientific one, in which Lewis and Clark collected and cataloged hundreds of new species, mapped thousands of miles of topography, and finally debunked the myth of a navigable Northwest Passage through the continent. But this novel primarily relates the adventures the men—and the dog—found along the way. These include meeting new Indian tribes—not all of whom were friendly—grizzly bear attacks, becoming lost at the fork in the Missouri, and the night Seaman saved the camp from a rampaging buffalo. The story even gives readers a taste of Lewis's (probably bi-polar) personality and the struggle he had with depression and self-depreciation. (It does not give any hint of his suicide a few years later.)
The one thing I thought could have been improved upon, because it sometimes proved confusing, was the story's layout. The book starts after the conclusion of the journey, with two members of the corps back out West, reading one of Captain Lewis's journals with Seaman and two Indians listening in. (This extra journal is fictional, though the two corps members really did head back into the wild after the journey's conclusion. The two Indians mentioned are also actual historical characters. There is no evidence that Seaman was left behind as related in the book, however. Here's an interesting article on what probably really happened to him.) The journal entries are easy to identify as they are dated and italicized—and based on the actual published ones. But the narrative gets confusing. Sometimes Seaman is expounding on what happened in the past. Other times the action jumps to the present, with comments or events taking place between in the readers. A few times it took me a moment to find my bearings. It is my only criticism. Perhaps the paperback version does a better job making these jumps apparent. My Kindle does not show indented text well.
Regardless, I think The Captain's Dog, particular Seaman's voice, makes this historic and monumental undertaking accessible to kids. Highly recommended as a curriculum accompaniment or as pleasure reading for middle graders who love history, adventure, or dog stories.

Olympic weightlifter, Oscar Albeiro Figueroa Mosquera, spent his lifetime training for the Olympic Games and battling chronic back pain. In January 2009 Figueroa underwent major spine surgery after suffering a herniated cervical disc. Years later, only several months prior to competing in the 2016 Olympic Games, Figueroa continued to suffer from chronic back pain
Figueroa' career was on the line until Dr. Jorge Felipe Ramirez, a pioneer in endoscopic minimally invasive surgery in Latin America suggested the Disc FX procedure. The Disc FX procedure is done by specialists and is offered by very few doctors.
In January 2016 Figueroa underwent the Disc FX procedure to treat his chronic back pain. He recovered three months later to compete at the Test Event for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Oscar Albeiro Figueroa Mosquera won the Gold medal in Olympic weightlifting. The 33-year-old clinched the gold medal and personally thanked Dr. Ramirez for allowing him to continue his passion, "Doctor Ramirez, you know that this medal is also yours" stated Oscar Figueroa in his speech.
Disc-FX is an innovative, minimally invasive procedure designed to efficiently access the damaged disc without injury to surrounding disc anatomy. The procedure is performed on the outpatient basis under light sedation, whereby the patient will go home the same day of the procedure with only a small bandage on their back. No direct visualization of the disc is required; the procedure is done under fluoroscopic guidance.
Prevention of scarring is one of the primary advantages of this procedure. Scarring can result in long-term irritation of nerves and nervous function defects in this area of the body full of nerves and pain sensors.
Dr. Shwartzman is the co-founder and Medical Director at the Franklin Pain and Wellness Center. He is one of the few in the area that is able to perform the Disc-FX procedure. Spinal surgery is not the only option for those suffering with chronic back pain. As shown by Figueroa and the grateful Disc FX patients treated at the Franklin Pain and Wellness Center.

Policeman charged with murder
A FORMER police officer has been arrested and charged with two counts of wilful murder of two high-risk prisoners, William Kapris and Raphael Walimini, four years ago.
Philip Pokop, 44, from Bowat village, Lorengau in Manus, was locked up at the Boroko Police Station yesterday after he was charged.
Police alleged that on July 22, 2013, Pokop was one of the officers selected to hunt down the notorious Kapris and Walimini, both from East Sepik, who escaped from the Bomana Correctional Institution on May 14, 2013.
At that time Pokop held the rank of sergeant and was in-charge of a team, of policemen who continued the search.

Baker fined for mouldy produce
A baker who was alleged to have sold a mouldy bread pudding at Sudbury market has been fined for food hygiene offences.
Peter McCarthy, a sole trader who operates a bakery in Brentwood and bread and cake stalls at markets across the south east trading as McCarthy's Country Store, was found guilty of two food hygiene offences and fined a total of £2,500.
Yesterday (September 30), the 48-year-old from Brentwood appeared before Bury St Edmunds Magistrates' Court and pleaded guilty to the charge of obstructing an officer acting in the execution of the hygiene regulations, but not guilty to placing unsafe food on the market.
A member of the public, Barry Abson, had complained to Babergh District Council that before July 10, 2014 he had been sold a piece of mouldy bread pudding from McCarthys Country Store market stall on Sudbury Market.
Although the defendant denied that his business had sold the product, he failed to produce the necessary traceability documents to prove this.
The bench was persuaded by the evidence of the complainant, the market superintendent and the environmental health officers and found McCarthy guilty.
McCarthy has been fined £1,000 for the unsafe food charge, £1,500 for the obstruction charge and a victim surcharge of £120.
Full legal and investigative costs of £1,280 were awarded to Babergh District Council.
Emma Richbell, senior food and safety officer, said: "Unfortunately Mr McCarthy's lack of cooperation with our investigation has resulted in a court hearing and heavy fine.
"Mobile businesses may think they can avoid food safety enforcement by moving on when things go wrong.
"This case demonstrates that Babergh District Council will pursue food business operators who fail to comply with the law to ensure a level playing field for compliant businesses."

Powerful things have happened in tiny rooms.
It is referenced time and again in the Bible. In the New Testament, Jesus held a Passover meal, now known as the Last Supper, in a tucked away room surrounded by disciples. After he was crucified, his apostles met in a small space, the "upper room," to hide, pray and regroup. It is written that Christ appeared to them in that very space, prior to his ascension.
Like those miraculous experiences, Johnny Taylor believes he too has felt the presence of God in a small room. It began with a group of friends, meeting in a private room in Dalton, who came together to pray.
"We have been getting together for a couple of years for a prayer group. We meet on Monday nights. It was just in a home, not in a church," Taylor explained.
That room turned out to be a very unique place, where inexplicable events occurred.
"I wasn't there but, one night, oil started rolling down the walls. That was about two years ago," he said.
While Taylor was not present, he was around for other happenings that followed. He said that although the oil stopped flowing from the walls, the spiritual energy continued to build.
"Last year, during the election, we started feeling like our prayer times were getting more intense. The Lord would speak to us," he said. "After the election, (God) told us he would show some things. We had no idea what that meant. We had never been through anything like this."
Taylor said they were instructed to examine Romans 12:1 and 12:2 and continued their meetings. In January, they had a particularly long meeting, continuing their prayers until nearly midnight.
Jerry Pierce was one of those who was reverently praying.
"He got on his knees and started praying. Then he laid on the floor for about 45 minutes ... we prayed for his wife, Joyce, who said that she felt something in her shift," he said.
The Pierces continued their prayers throughout the week, sequestered in their home.
"They didn't go anywhere after the prayer meeting which was on Monday night. They were reading Psalms and praying," Taylor said. "On Friday, Jerry picked up his Bible and noticed that it was wet. He asked Joyce if the grandbaby had spilled anything and she said no. But it was just in the book of Psalms ... Pslams 39-63."
Pierce brought the Bible, which continued to secrete oil, to his prayer group. That's where Taylor and his fellow group members first set eyes on the marvel.
"It was fascinating. When they brought it to us, the oil was already through the new testament. Over the next couple of weeks, two or three weeks, it was through Revelations," he said.
"Then it stopped and went back to Genesis. It was becoming saturated so Jerry put it in a bag which also started to fill with oil. I had the idea to try to make a vial with the oil."
That is precisely what they did. They started giving away vials of the oil, entirely free, to people they knew or those who requested it. As word spread, they started having more and more inquiries, and the oil continued to flow.
"God told us that we should give it away so he could replenish it. That's what we started doing," Taylor said.
While they were faithful, they also had more concrete concerns about the oil. They enlisted the help of a Dalton chemist who tested the liquid. The results it yielded only strengthened their resolve.
"During this whole thing, we have told everyone, 'we want to keep it all in the light. What we know, you know.' We just want to be good stewards of this and do what God wants us to do," he said.
"(The chemist) said that it had the characteristics of mineral oil but was not manufactured. They best they could tell us ... they don't know where it came from."
The purpose, Taylor said, is simply to share it. They are not to promote it, advertise or profit from the oil in any way. In return, those who receive the vials will be blessed. Many of those who have received the oil claim it boasts healing properties.
"We have received testimonial after testimonial. There are claims that it has cured stage-four cancer, a broken arm, pancreatic cancer," he listed. "Jerry, the one who owns the Bible, his brother, was in the hospital. They thought he had a stroke. We brought the Bible and anointed him with oil. He was later just diagnosed with a kidney infection."
Since the oil began to flow from the Bible in January, they have filled 22,000 vials with oil, sending it out to individuals around the country and even around the world.
It continues to flow today. For Taylor, it has been an awe-inspiring experience, one that has brought together many people, including those of different faiths. They have visited dozens of congregations to share their story.
But one thing is for sure — it never becomes routine.
"It never gets common. It is just as brand new today as it is the first day I saw it. We have always prayed that we would steer this thing right. We don't go out and try to convince anyone or anything like that ... we're just the stewards," he said.
One way they are providing that stewardship is by visiting various congregations around the state. Taylor said they are coming to Darien's Glory Worship Center Aug. 11, 12 and 13.
"We will be there at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights and at 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning. We will tell our story, speak and pray, then we will give away the oil," he said.
They hope it will give those that seek the oil what it has given to them — a sense of peace and hope in knowing that God is with them.
"God told us that 'anything man makes can only represent me ... what I make is me.' We are challenged by it but we don't try to convince people to believe it. We can't explain it ... but, at same time, we can't deny it," he said.
"Somewhere in between there's God."

commercial air curtain Air ionization
The role of commercial air curtain is the use of air ionization and fan with positive and negative charge blowing. The formation of a positive and negative charge of the air flow, the surface of the charge carried by the object and out. When the surface of the object is negatively charged, it attracts a positive charge in the airflow. When the surface of the object is positively charged, it attracts the negative charge in the current, so that the static electricity on the surface of the object is neutralized Eliminate the purpose of static electricity.
Commercial air curtain series has a small fan to provide wind, but also a roller fan to provide wind. The size of the wind can be driven by the speed switch in a big one
Commercial air curtain ionization device: ionization device in the high-voltage device produced by the low current high voltage, the formation of a stable high-intensity electric field, ionization of air to form ions, brought out by the air to reach the surface of the object to achieve the purpose of static and static.

As a little girl, Cinderella was my absolute favorite Disney movie, so it seemed fitting to tackle a Meta about her at some point. Between the Cinderella movie coming out in March, and Cinderella's role in Into the Woods, my mind's been on her for a while now, and today, I thought it would be interesting to compare one of the older, 'original' takes on Cinderella vs. how Disney translated the timeless fairytale onscreen.
Cinderella is one of those stories that every culture as to some extent, but for the sake of this Meta, I'll be honing in on the Brothers Grimm version of the story. So how do these changes affect the overall story? Does the heart of the story stay intact despite the Disneyfication of the plot? We'll find out. But first, what is Disneyfication? And how does it relate to Disney's take on Cinderella?
Disneyfication: Softening to Appeal to a Wider Audience
Well, Disneyfication is a term related to Disney; it refers to the way that Disney as a company often lightens fairytales for a younger audience. Business-wise, it makes a lot of sense; Disney is a family company, trying to appeal to parents and their children, so of course they would want to remove some of the harsher aspects of older fairytales.
In Cinderella, plenty of harsher elements are removed, in order to appeal to a wider audience. For example, in the Brothers Grimm tale, Cinderella's stepmother cuts off the toe of one stepsister, and the heel of another, so that both girls can try and fit their feet into the slipper. Considering how grotesque that would look on screen, the animated movie skips this entirely and just has Cinderella's stepsisters trying to squeeze their feet into the slipper with no avail. It's more comical and less gory, but conveys a similar point: no matter how hard they try, neither can fool the prince into thinking they're the princess.
The movie also avoids vengeance against Cinderella's stepsisters. In the Brothers Grimm tale, Cinderella's stepsisters are punished for trying to "ingratiate themselves and share in Cinderella's good fortune" (Grimm 122). Their punishment? They're blinded by doves. A bit harsh of a punishment, but that was how a lot of older fairytales were: the antagonists were given cruel punishments in order to scare children into behaving. In the Disney movie, we simply leave behind Cinderella's stepsisters and stepmother as Cinderella goes off to the palace, which makes sense in a way; why bother when she'll never have to deal with them anyway?
Here, removing harsher elements of the story removes unnecessary violence, but in turn, it removes an interesting facet of the story.
There's a lot of vanity involved with Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters, and while we get a small dose of that in the animated movie, here it's more intense. These girls are willing to cut off parts of their feet in order to secure a better position for themselves as the prince's wife. How desperate must they be that they're willing to go this far to be a princess? They're cutting away parts of themselves in order to fit into a mold, which reminds me a lot of beauty expectations women in society face. The Brothers Grimm may have written their version of Cinderella ages ago, but the grim message about the dark side of trying to achieve beauty and status is still very chilling and very applicable to today.
Still, despite the violence removed, we do see more harshness toward Cinderella in the animated movie than we do in the fairytale. Granted, fairytales don't tend to have very fleshed out characters, so it makes sense that here, we would see more of the vileness of Cinderella's step-sisters and stepmother, but it's interesting how they're portrayed. Her stepsisters are cruel, snappy toward her, and act like bullies, and her stepmother is just as bad. There are two particular scenes that portray their cruelty well.
The first happens near the end of the movie, when Cinderella's stepmother locks her in the attic to keep the prince from seeing her, which basically cements her as the worst, and a hindrance to Cinderella's goals.
The second is more uncomfortable: it's the scene when Cinderella comes down in her beautiful pink dress (the one she and the mice handmade), and her stepsisters tear her dress apart while she's still in it. Lady Tremaine is the one who sparks the action – spotting the blue beads around Cinderella's neck, and pointing them out to her daughters – and the daughters go from there, taking back what they believe is rightfully "theirs," screaming and ripping at her dress and leaving Cinderella in rags. The scene ends with her sobbing in the garden, a hysterical mess. There's this strong feeling of violation and humiliation that makes watching the scene uncomfortable for me to this day. It's meant to show the stepsisters' entitlement, and how they feel they deserve to go to the ball while Cinderella does not, because she is lower than them. They're trying to establish their dominance over her, which goes back to the beauty and status theme that I mentioned earlier. So in a way some of the root themes of the story stay, even if they're shown differently.
Now that we've covered the gorier cuts from the original, and some additions to flesh out Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters what else has been lost? What has been condensed? Well, the ball itself, for one.
Three Day Ball Turned Into One
One of the cuts that made the most sense in the movie is cutting down the ball from a three-day event into one night. Obviously, this makes sense because animated movies need to convey a lot in a short period of time, so cutting down the time makes it easier to focus on that one night at the ball, instead of having to cover three separate ones.
The movie takes advantage of this, using the time to really hone in on Cinderella and the Prince's first meeting, giving us a glimpse of how they danced all night, and their conversations. Like the story, Cinderella loses her slipper, but rather than getting stuck in pitch, it slides off her foot, making it more of an accident, rather than a manipulation by the prince to trap her. Thus, cutting the pitch detail makes Prince Charming a bit less creepy in our eyes.
One of the cuts I did not appreciate, however, was a certain change in roles from the original tale to the animated movie. I'm talking about how Cinderella's mother was cut out entirely and replaced by a fairy godmother.
Mother Tree vs. Fairy Godmother
Okay, don't get me wrong. I appreciate Cinderella's cool fairy godmother. I love Bippity Boppity Boo and the beautiful sequence when we see the pumpkin turn into the carriage, and how Cinderella's dress is transformed into the stunning iconic blue gown.
But in the original tale, Cinderella didn't have a fairy godmother. Instead, her mother's spirit was the 'fairy godmother' of her story. Her father brings her home a hazel branch after she requests a small branch, and Cinderella plants the branch by her mother's grave. Here, her mother has a strong presence, and Cinderella's tears are what spur the branch to grow into a beautiful tree. She prays and weeps for her mother, seeking comfort from her spirit, and finds something interesting: she can make wishes by the tree. "If she made a wish, the little bird would toss down what she had wished for" (Grimm 118). Obviously, this comes back into play when Cinderella wants to go to the ball. Here, we have an established form of wishing, and Cinderella seeks out her mother's tree in order to go to the ball. "Shake your branches, little tree, toss gold and silver down on me," she calls, and the little bird tosses down a beautiful silver and gold dress; quite different from the blue gown we see in the animated movie (Grimm 119).
What I've always loved about this version of the tale is the maternal presence. Even though Cinderella's mother is dead, we still get her presence and her spirit, watching over her daughter and granting her wishes in order to help her achieve her dreams.
In the animated movie, that maternal edge and the spiritual undertones are lost entirely. The animated version of Cinderella doesn't even mention her mother; we get a mention in the narration of her father being a widow, but we hear nothing about Cinderella's mother, or her impact on her. Cinderella's own 'mother figure,' Lady Tremaine, isn't exactly motherly either; Lady Tremaine is cruel and ruthless, treating Cinderella more like a servant than she does a daughter. Unlike the Brothers Grimm tale, which doesn't explain the motivations between the stepmother and her step-daughters' cruelty toward Cinderella, the animated movie gives us a very interesting motivation: envy, and vanity. We're told that Lady Tremaine is "bitterly jealous of Cinderella's charm and beauty," which is really no reason to demean a child and turn them into your personal servant, but it does give us glance into her mindset. Drusilla and Anastasia follow suit with their mother's behavior, which she likely encouraged, and it's possible that they too are envious of her beauty.
Instead of Cinderella's mother's tree, we have Cinderella's fairy godmother, who is more like a kindly grandmother figure than she is a mother to Cinderella. "Oh come now, dry those tears," she says, helping Cinderella up from the bench she's been sobbing on. "You can't go to the ball looking like that."
Unlike the Brothers Grimm tale, where Cinderella simply gets the dress and gets to the ball on her own, Cinderella's fairy godmother gets everything all set up for her: the carriage, the horses, the dress…all Cinderella has to do is get in and go to the ball.
It's a great scene, but by taking Cinderella's mother out of the picture, there's something lost here for me. Disney has a thing about taking parents out of the picture, and to me, having Cinderella's mother be involved in the story would've been a really beautiful thing. Alas, instead, we have her fairy godmother, which is well and good, but is it as sentimental? Not quite.
Is Cinderella one of those Disney movies that will always warm my nostalgic heart? Yes, definitely.
Is there something lost in removing some of the elements of the story? Definitely.
Adaptations aren't always perfect. Disney's Cinderella does a great job of capturing the core of the story: Cinderella's hope and perseverance, even when times are rough, and how that hope brings her the happily-ever-after she deserves. However, by cutting the darker and more spiritual elements of the Brothers Grimm tale, Cinderella loses some of its dark take on society, status, and beauty, and there's also a maternal bond lost. It's a bit of a mixed bag: the changes made are understandable, but by watering down the story, something is missing.
What do you guys think? What's your favorite version of the Cinderella story? Do you think Disney does a good job adapting fairytales, or is too much of the original story lost due to Disneyfication? Let us know in the comments!

When preparing the short ribs, Pacheco advises seasoning the meat generously so that it penetrates the beef. "It's a fairly thick cut of meat and you can't season the inside," he says. Another tip: Be sure to use a hot pan to initially sear the meat because that will help seal in the flavor.
Until recently, Pacheco served the short ribs with creamy polenta, but this year he's offering a cheddar polenta cake, which he says adds a nice texture. "You cut into the polenta and the cheese curds just ooze out once it's cooked."
You had us at cheese curds. Actually, you had us at braised meat.
Braised beef short ribs
32 oz. boneless short ribs
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. paprika powder
¼ cup olive oil
1 onion
2 celery stalks
2 carrots, peeled
2 cups red wine
3 cups veal stock (or beef broth)
3 cups chicken stock
4 parsley stems
2 sprigs of thyme
3 bay leaves
Season short ribs all over with salt, pepper and paprika powder. Heat oil at medium high heat in a heavy pan and add short ribs. Sear short ribs on all sides and remove from pan. Add onion, celery and carrots. Saute for 4 minutes and add tomato paste. Allow tomato to caramelize for one minute, deglaze with red wine and reduce wine until almost dry, add veal stock and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, add short ribs back to pan, add parsley, thyme and bay leaves and cover for another half hour. Remove short ribs from sauce, strain vegetables from sauce and serve in 5 oz. portions.
Cheddar polenta cake
2 cups water
½ cup Hayden Mills polenta
2 tsp. salt
4 oz. AZ Farms Cheese cheddar cheese curds
½ cup roasted corn kernels
1 qt. canola oil
Heat water in a heavy bottom pot, add salt and stir. As water just comes to a simmer, slowly whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring to keep polenta from sticking. Keep polenta on low heat until thick and cooked through – about 30 minutes, then add roasted corn and remove from heat. In a greased muffin tin, place a small amount of the cooked polenta. Place cheese curds inside and top with more polenta. Place in refrigerator to set up over night. When ready to eat, place oil in a pot and heat to 325 degrees. Fry the polenta cakes until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
