January 5, 2015 - bought it as a gift, and she said it is AWESOME. I liked that it was heavy and well made.
December 10, 2014 - I had bought the cup for cold liquids, and my husband loved it. And he loves ceramic coffee mugs. plus, up until now, he also didn't have a ceramic travel mug. So I knew he'd love this, and he does! Beautiful and well-made, too. finally, it funds 14 bowls of food for rescues. A perfect purchase all the way around.

Midwest Living Review
The globaco (global + taco), Fast Foodie's claim to fame, is the creation of owner Jackie Valent Lucca, who set out to capture ethnic cuisine in a tortilla (or in a bowl, if you don't want the carbs). These $3 creations taste great and range from Korean bulgogi-style Hahny-Hahny to The Big Sexy (inspired by a Puerto-Rican friend) to the healthful My Big Fat Greek Globaco. We tried Jamaican Me Crazy, at the owner's suggestion. The first bite was warm, spicy and good, bulging with rice, raisins, slaw and a secret sauce that tasted of curry with a twist of Scotch Bonnet peppers. It's the most fun you'll ever have sweating! Jackie says that one customer loved it so much that he took a job on the truck. "He said, Jamaican me wanna work here!'" she says. The Big Sexy isn't spicy, but it's just as flavorful: marinated pork combined with rice, pigeon peas and fried plantains. There's only one side, Belgian Frites ($2.50), but it's all you need, especially with one of the interesting sauces offered as an accompaniment. srichara mayo, orange and wow-spicy, matches well with the crispy, hot and delicious frites, which are served Belgian-style, in a paper cone. The cracked pepper aioli is good, too; lighter, but peppery and tasty. The globaco, by the way, is wrapped in foil, which keeps it hot until you're ready to eat.

Yep, I always just assumed it was Photanium in its worked form.
The color Orange in MOTU(C)
When looking over my collection of MOTUC the other day, it dawned on me that there is a lot of orange. Spikors mace, Fakers sword and armor, Stinkors armor, Man at Arms armor, Tri-Klops wrist armor, Whiplash spear, Jitsus sword, Webstors gun, Man e Faces gun, and Im sure there are more.
So I got to thinking there must be a very strong metal or oar on Eternia that has an orange color that is good for making armor and weapons. Maybe sort of like Marvels adamantium. Thoughts?
Yep, I always just assumed it was Photanium in its worked form.

More purple than orange.
Lots of orange and green or yellow and green combos early on as well. Those were also my elementary school's colors, so I took notice as a kid.
Wind Raider
Battle Cat
Well there's Fisto's sword, but other than that there isn't much.
Anyway: Interesting topic! I actually was thinking previously of the blue He-Man axe and shield and working the blue metal as some sort of special metal...but the orange makes sense too! Much more so, even. In fact I think that's a fantastic case for my usual "ancient technological past" story that I love so much from the old minicomics. Could be a special magically/technologically manifested metal used by the ancient civilization that people scavenge. I'm assuming MAA probably found a way to reproduce it, though perhaps not perfectly.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
I had a thread similar to this before. I also thought the use of Orange was interesting. Here is a link to that discussion which soon just went silly.
"I summon forth the portal to the terrible dimension of Despondos!"
Just off the top of my head: Skeletor, Mosquitor, Squeeeze, Tongue Lasher (snake staff), Fisto, Rokkon, Draego Man (MOTUC), and Multi-Bot, have purple weapons. Night Stalker also has purple guns mounted on it's sides. A few characters from New Adventures also had purple weapons.

There's a lot of purple armor, weapons and things in MOTU & MOTUC.
Skeletor's Armor, belt, havoc staff & sword, Fisto's Sword and parts of his armor & belt, Draego Man's sword, armor & shield. BA Skeletor's "magic" armor, DB Skeletor's armor. Webstor's armor, Faceless Ones' armor, Granamyr's helmet
But if you count just the color, you also have Faker's boots & briefs as well. Scareglow, BGEL, Panthor, Keldor, Spector, Spikor. And all the purple boots.

The reason there's so much orange is because orange is the best color ever!
Successful transactions with PaulJustice, bobshumway, SonofKeldor, Eterniandreams, Xavion, darksword, dr phiz, Epizo1, Shankor, Shecky, He-Dad, Phil.Pastel, Baddwarff, sublimesting, richalot, He-Man54, anytimepally, Mysterio, Umbloo, Lich Leech, GFunny, greenstar1981, crimsondragon, Man-E-MoodZ, yakkotank, Jaakub, Is-rael, dzathamza, jesstertwo, yodafreakmaster, stratosfear, and Mulletor.
Not to mention all the blue In MOTUC. But all colors are represented decently, even though the predominate colors are Orange, Blue & Purple.
And all you have to do is look at Faker to see it all works together.

I think he was thinking about the color purple in general and not just weapons. For instance, Skeletor, DG Skeletor, BA Skeletor, BG Evil Lyn, Spikor, Faker, Faceless One, Scareglow, Webstor, Keldor, Tallstar, Spectre, Draego Man, Panthor, Screech, Carnivus, Man-E-Faces, Prince Adam, Fisto, Granamyr.
Now, that being said, there is indeed a lot of orange.
Well for a toy line originally aimed at kids the color orange was easier to work with than gold. Imo...
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
Two Bad also has the orange shield... I also recognised that orange is oftem used as weapons color. Maybe it's more appealing to children?
Roger Sweet stated in his book that, back in the day, the color choices were based on studies Mattel had showing that children, specifically boys, were attracted to contrasting colors. I guess mind games were fair play. Works great though. Loved the colors then and now. Bright and exciting!
Oh, I was meaning more in general in terms of use in characters rather than weapons alone.
Skeletor, Panthor, Keldor, Spikor, Faker, Man-E-Faces, Trap Jaw, Fisto, Prince Adam, Scare Glow, Mosquitor (purple gun), Mighty Spector, Draego-Man (purple hilt on sword), Tallstar, Faceless One, and BG Evil Lynn
DESPERATELY need ThunderCats Minimates series one!!!
**Staunch FILMation lover!!! **** MUST have a New Adventures Subscription!!!**
MOTUC NEEDS more TROLLANS !!!
Well. I think they just use a black basic metal and just paint their weapons. That way they can really show off that battle damage.
I remember hearing once that orange is known to be a favorite color among children because it evokes a feeling of warmth. I remember loving orange when I was a kid but I always thought it was because of my love for the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard. I didn't like that dark wash on my MOTUC Faker so I used rubbing alcohol to rub off some of the dark wash so I could see more of the bright orange.

It's just because Spector is Purple and Snout Spout is Orange. Coolness times 2!

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is an action-adventure third-person shooter game and the sequel to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The game is the third installment in the Uncharted series. It was released on November 1st 2011 for North America, November 2nd for Europe and Japan, and November 3rd for Australia. The game is the first in the series to support high-resolution Stereoscopic 3D. It also received the "Best PS3 Game" award at the 2011 Spike TV Video Game Awards. The main plot of the game involves Nathan "Nate" Drake and Victor "Sully" Sullivan trying to find the legendary Atlantis of the Sands.
[show]Plot Edit
The story begins with Nathan "Nate" Drake (Nolan North) and Victor "Sully" Sullivan (Richard McGonagle) entering a pub in London to meet with a man named Talbot, who is interested in purchasing Nate's ring. During the meeting, Nate and Sully accuse Talbot of offering them counterfeit banknotes, and a fight ensues. After fighting their way past Talbot's thugs, Nate and Sully emerge in an alleyway, where they are surrounded and subdued by Charlie Cutter (Graham McTavish), Talbot's cohort. They are then approached by Talbot's client, Katherine Marlowe (Rosalind Ayres), who steals Drake's ring. Nate attempts to go after her, but Cutter guns him and Sully down, seemingly killing them.
The story flashes back to 20 years earlier. A teenage Nathan Drake (Billy Unger) explores a museum in Cartagena, Colombia, in search of Sir Francis' ring, but is thrown out after guards suspect him of being a thief. Intrigued by the actions of Victor Sullivan, who he does not know at this point, Nate follows Sully to a keymaker and pickpockets him, before returning to the museum. He steals the ring, but before he can leave he is caught by Marlowe, her henchmen, and Sully, who was working for her. Nate flees with the ring, with Marlowe's agents in pursuit, but Sully rescues Nate from the agents and decides to act as a mentor to him.
Returning to the present day, it is revealed that the meeting was an elaborate set-up by Nate and Sully to get closer to Marlowe, with Cutter being an old friend of theirs. With the help of Chloe Frazer (Claudia Black), they trace Marlowe's car to a hidden library, where they manage to retrieve T. E. Lawrence's notebook and a map showing Francis Drake's secret voyage to Arabia, where he was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth I to search for the lost city of Ubar which is only mentioned in the Quran. Using these items, Nate works out that clues to the city's location lie in Crusader crypts in a French chateau and a Syrian citadel. Nate and Sully head to eastern France and locate the long-abandoned chateau in a dense forest. They find one half of an amulet inside the crypt, but the two are ambushed by Talbot, who takes the amulet and sets the chateau on fire. Nate and Sully escape and quickly head to Syria, fearing that Chloe and Cutter, who traveled to the Syrian citadel, may have been followed as well.
In Syria, Nate and Sully meet up with Chloe and Cutter, who have learned that Marlowe is the head of an order dating back four centuries. The order seeks to gain power by exploiting the fears of their enemies. During their quest, Cutter gets shot by a dart containing hallucinogens, which forces him to give his gun and notebook to Talbot. The group reaches the second crypt and find the other half of the amulet, revealing the location of the next clue in Yemen. However, while trying to exit the citadel, Cutter is cornered by Marlowe and Talbot, forcing him to hand over the amulet piece. Although Nate, Sully, Chloe, and Cutter manage to escape, Cutter breaks his leg in the process, forcing him and Chloe to back out for the rest of the game, while Nate and Sully travel to Yemen on their own.
Drake reluctantly follows Sully's advice to meet with his wife Elena Fisher (Emily Rose), recently estranged. Though the two argue over the fact that Elena is still wearing her wedding ring, and how Nate seems to be obsessed with his quest, Elena still helps Nate and Sully, giving them a tour of the city. They eventually locate the underground tomb where they discover the location of the lost city, as well as evidence that Sir Francis Drake had also found the tomb, and that what he learned there caused him to abandon his mission. Back above ground, Nate is shot with a dart containing hallucinogens. After stumbling away alone, Nate wakes up outside a café with Marlowe and Talbot. Here, Marlowe comments on his past and his relationship with Sully, and even threatens Elena if he does not cooperate. When Talbot gets news of Sully's location, Nate breaks free and gives chase to Talbot throughout the city; however, Nate is then knocked out by Rameses (Sayed Badreya), a pirate working with Marlowe. Rameses interrogates Nate for information about Iram of the Pillars. When Nate refuses to cooperate, Rameses claims to have captured Sully. Nate manages to escape captivity and eventually reach the cruise ship where Sully is captured.
Nate discover Sullivan sitting on a chair in the cargo hold with a fabric bag on his head, but discovers it is a dummy. Rameses and his men appear, and reveal that Rameses never had Sullivan. Rameses stumbles to safety after being shot by Nate. Nate then throws a grenade in the ensuing battle, which results in a large explosion rupturing the ships hull. Eventually the excess water causes the whole vessel to roll 90 degrees and begin sinking. After navigating through the capsized ship, Nate finds himself in the over-turned ballroom. A mortally wounded Rameses re-appears and shoots the glass roof, resulting in water rapidly flooding in, killing himself in the process. Nate escapes the overturned ship and washes back onto the shore.
He is reunited with Elena, but she informs him that Sully was captured by Marlowe's men and was taken on a convoy into the Rub 'al Khali desert; but they may be able to rescue him if they stow away on a Cargo Plane due to deliver supplies to Marlowe's convoy. At dawn, the two of them infiltrate the airstrip, where they eventually reach a high wall. Nate gets to the other side but refuses to help Elena up, and claims he doesn't want to risk losing Elena again. She understands and accepts this, and eventually leaves using a nearby jeep. Nate tries to reach the plane as it begins its take-off run, but ultimately fails. Elena re-appears in the jeep and picks him up, allowing him to enter the plane through one of the landing-gear bay doors just as the plane lifts off. Nate is soon discovered by Marlowe's men on board, and a shoot-out ensues, resulting in a fire on board, leading to massive decompression, which tears the plane apart and sucks Nate out. Falling through the sky, Nate collides with a falling supply crate and deploys the crate's unused parachute; he is able to land safely on the desert floor. Nate finds a weapon in the wreckage and starts to journey through the desert.
After wandering the desert, suffering from heat exhaustion, severe thirst and experiencing hallucinations and mirages, Nate arrives at a ghost town in the desert where he is attacked by Marlowe's men. A troop of men on horseback, led by Salim (TJ Ramini), appear and ride to Nate's rescue. At the horsemen's encampment, Salim tells Nate that the city of Ubar was doomed thousands of years ago by King Solomon when he imprisoned evil Djinn within a brass vessel and cast it into the heart of the city. He agrees to help Nate and leads him to the convoy spotted by his scouts. Nate and Salim destroy the convoy and rescue Sully. Salim then instructs Nate and Sully to follow him into a nearby sandstorm, but the pair lose him amidst the dust and they realise that they have arrived at the gates of Ubar.
Upon entering Ubar, Nate and Sully come across a sophisticated water fountain that Nate drinks from. Suddenly Talbot appears and shoots Sully, apparently killing him. Overcome by rage over Sully's death, Nate gives chase and has to fight more of Marlowe's men, who seem to have been possessed by the Djinn, engulfing themselves in flames as well as showing the ability to teleport. Nate eventually comes to his senses and finds Sully alive. The true mystery of what happened to the people of Ubar thousands of years ago becomes apparent: when King Solomon cast the brass vessel into the depths of the city, it fell into the water and began to taint the water with a powerful hallucinogenic agent. The people were subsequently driven mad, and civilization within the city collapsed. Nate realises that the vessel is what Queen Elizabeth had sent Francis Drake to find, but after learning the consequences of his quest, Drake abandons his mission and returns to England. Nate and Sully search the city and locate Marlowe, who is using a winch to pull the brass talisman from the water. Nate and Sully destroy the winch and the explosion sets off a chain reaction throughout the entire city, causing it to collapse. Nate and Sully attempt to escape the crumbling city, and encounter Marlowe and Talbot shortly before the floor collapses, throwing Marlowe into a pit of quicksand. Nate tries to save her but is unable to pull her out, and Marlowe is submerged in the sand, taking Drake's ring with her.
After desperately trying to reach the edge of the giant sinkhole that the city has now become, Nate and Sully are intercepted by Talbot, close to the exit. An enraged Talbot attempts to kill Nate and Sully, but after a brutal fight, he is shot by Nate and falls out of sight. At the city gates, Salim rides in on his horse and leads Nate and Sully to safety as the city is engulfed by the desert sands. Nate and Sully return to the airport in Yemen, where Sully explains why he took such an interest in the young Nate. He then gives back Nate's wedding ring, which he secretly kept safe when Drake and Elena separated. Nate turns to see Elena joining them. The two embrace each other, and the three fly back home on Sully's new sea plane.

Reception Edit
Reception | ||||||||||||||||||||
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception received universal critical acclaim, receiving numerous "Game of the Year" and "Best Visuals" awards. The game holds 91.76% on GameRankings, based on 70 reviews[12], and 92/100 from MetaCritic, based on over 90 reviews.[13]
The first review of Uncharted 3 came from the Spanish magazine Playmania, who awarded it 9.9/10, the highest review score they have ever awarded to a game.[14] Greg Miller from IGN awarded the game a perfect 10/10 in all aspects, earning the title: "Masterpiece". [15] Official PlayStation Magazine UK gave Uncharted 3 10/10 and a gold award , stating "Welcome to the new platinum standard". [16] The Guardian magazine gave the game a perfect score of 5/5, stating "Uncharted 3, perhaps for the first time, represents what we all hoped games would eventually evolve into. Its production values are sky-high, and it puts you at the centre of a gloriously rich and irresistible world, controlling a character who is heroic, but also convincingly human. It's also mildly didactic, and feels less dumbed-down than any mainstream movie we've come across in years." [17] Destructoid gave the game 10/10, stating "Uncharted 3 jumps from one extraordinary set piece to the next, pushing the way a videogame narrative can be presented. Equal parts exhilarating and emotional, I can't say I have ever played a more perfectly paced game." [18] GamePro gave a 10/10 too, stating "Overall, the combination of a robust multiplayer, a surprisingly compelling co-op adventure, and a thrilling ten-hour single-player campaign add up to a title that is, quite simply, a must-own." [19]
Edge magazine gave the game a 9/10, stating "The present console cycle is expected to last nearly a decade, and there will inevitably be developers advocating the need for more sophisticated tools. But just like Machu Picchu, the Pyramids and every other engineering marvel of antiquity, Uncharted 3 will stand as a reminder to future generations of gamers that enough problem-solving imagination can turn any old trowel into a magic wand." [20] Eurogamer gave the game a much lower score of 8/10, stating "As a slice of one-view entertainment, Uncharted 3 is peerless... As an expression of all that a video game could be, however, Uncharted 3 is narrow, focused and ultimately shallow." [21]
Trivia Edit
- Eliza Dushku announced Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves at the Spike VGA's in their respective years.
- In an interview on August 17th 2011, Arne Meyer of Naughty Dog revealed that Uncharted 3 was currently over 50Gb in size, above the maximum capacity of a blu-ray disc and more than twice the size of Uncharted 2.[22]
- The teaser premiered on the Entertainment Weekly's Popwatch exclusive reveal of Uncharted 3, however that version is ten seconds longer than the Spike VGA trailer with an updated Naughty Dog logo introduction.
- Uncharted 3 introduced a desert. Jak 3, another game developed by Naughty Dog, also introduced and featured a desert in it. This is a aspect both franchises 3rd installments share and introduced.
- More similarities would be that Uncharted 3's box-art resembles the Jak 3 box-art and both have the main characters standing in the desert with their signature weapons in their hand.
- In an October entry to the PlayStation Blog, it was revealed that all retail copies of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception will include a voucher code to access the Starhawk multiplayer beta early. The Starhawk beta will be released sometime in early 2012.
- This is the first and so far only game in the series not to feature extra singleplayer bonuses such as an in-game store, or medal tracker. It does, however, still retain the treasure list and bonus features. (The movie cutscene viewer, however, was added as part of Update ver. 1.02 on November 28)
- Everyone in the game has a more movie-like appearance than in any other game.
- Many old weapons have a shorter role, such the AK-47 and the Wes-44, it also occurs to some new weapons, such as the new M9.
- Some weapons from the previous games have been replaced with different weapons such the M4 replaced with the M9 or the Desert-5 replaced with the Mag-5.
- Unlike the first two games, this is the only Uncharted game where you cannot change the single-player character appearance.
Released Content Edit
- A dynamic theme, a static theme and two avatars have been released. The Dynamic Theme and Drake Avatar are available on the PSN store, while the static theme and Uncharted 3 avatar are available through a code which is received when you sign up for updates at the game's official site.

- On March 8th 2011 Naughty Dog released a cutscene which introduced Uncharted 3's Villain, Katherine Marlowe.

The Fit Expert
Shea from our Calgary store says:
The Libby Smith fits very true to size.
More Colours
In 1889, Pioneer Libby Smith (age 16) was captured by a tribe of Native Americans and was forced into a tribal death-game called "the gauntlet." After surviving a near-fatal tomahawk to the head, Libby later became famous as an integral part of the "77" - a renegade vigilante group who helped protect the settlers of Montana. Using soft dusty leathers with faux-spats & buttons on a 2.5" Fellowship-hi heel and tunite Bellevue sole, this zipped calf-high boot is sure to get you through the Gauntlet in one piece. Keep pushing west and beyond your imagination.

Love these boots!
Boo Hoo
Store manager pledged to be very accommodating and these were returned. I have never had a bad encounter before, says the woman who has amassed 17 pair + accessories in just 5 years.
I will be in NYC this weekend so will pop in to the store to see if they have these...I REALLY want them as they are fun and fit great! But, there is something to be said about making purchases sight-unseen.

Stunning boots!
I suspect this colour will not last long, so scoop them up quick.
(I did buy dear daughter a pair of shoes too, but mom got a treat today!)

Kosher Drink/Spirits
Strawberry Ice Cream Soda |
KosherEye.comThere are many versions of this recipe on the internet. This one uses heavy cream but we feel you can either leave it out or substitute light cream. Either way, this is a wonderful drink for summer - fresh, sweet strawberries, ice cream, and soda. Ingredients: Strawberry jam Directions: For each ice cream soda, put a heaping tablespoonful of strawberry jam and a heaping tablespoonful of crushed fresh strawberries in large (16 ounce size) glass. Add 2 tablespoons heavy cream and a big scoop of strawberry ice cream. Fill up to 2/3 full with soda water, then add another big scoop of strawberry ice cream. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a garnish of chopped berries, if desired. Serve with straws and a long iced teaspoon. Notes: Recipes: Desserts, Ice Cream Soda, Dairy, KosherEye |

Excerpt From the New Book "Simple and Usable"
This is an excerpt from my new book, Simple and Usable, released this month by Peachpit Press. UX Magazine is also running a giveaway for five copies of the book. If you'd like to purchase the book, visit the book's page on peachpit.com where it's available with free shipping with registration.
Three types of user
When it comes to simplicity, you can divide users into three types.
Experts are happy to explore your product or service and to push the limits of what it can do. They want never-before-seen technology that is customized for them. Even if they're new to a product, they have an expert attitude. In other word, they'll spend time finding out how it works and exploring new features. If you're making a mobile phone, these are the people who want to be able to browse through the mobile phone's file system and tweak everything. It turns out there are relatively few of these people.
I call the next group willing adopters. They probably use some similar products or services. They're tempted to use something more sophisticated, but they're not comfortable playing with something entirely new— they need to be given easy ways to adopt new features. For instance, they might be interested in a more sophisticated phone, but only if they can transfer their precious contacts easily. There are fewer of these people than you'd imagine and their tolerance for learning is pretty low.
The vast majority of people are mainstreamers. They don't use technology for its own sake; they use it to get a job done. They tend to learn a few key features and never add to their repertoire. These are the people who say, "I just want my mobile phone to work." Most people fall into this group.
It's tempting to think that after a while people graduate from one group to another. But that hardly ever happens. Even after years of using a product, people tend to stay in the same group.
For example, take any large group of people who've been using Microsoft Excel for five years. You'll find some people who've explored settings and options, some who've got a few specialist features set up to do what they like, and others who just use it for adding up columns of figures.
It has more to do with their underlying attitude toward technology than the amount of time they spend using a product or service.
It's tempting to design for the first two groups—they're easier to please. But experiences that feel simple are designed for the mainstreamers.
Expert users are a minority. In 2009, complex cameras like SLRs comprised only 9 percent of the digital camera market (source: CIPA).
Why you should ignore your expert customers
Most companies spend too much time listening to their expert customers—the ones who spend the most time using their products or services—because they're easy to talk to. Expert customers are enthusiasts, they're vocal and opinionated about how to improve what's on offer.
But experts aren't typical customers and their judgement is often skewed. They don't experience the problems that mainstream customers have.
And they want things that mainstream customers don't care about.
Here's what one responder on Slashdot (a blog run by experts and enthusiasts) had to say when the iPod was announced: "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."
Another commenter wrote: "I don't see many sales in the future of iPod."
Commenters on another enthusiast blog, MacRumors, also wanted more: "I still can't believe this! All this hype for something so ridiculous! Who cares about an MP3 player?"
Apple's expert customers wanted a flying car. Apple's mainstream customers just wanted an MP3 player that worked.
I see this again an again: a small group of customers make noisy, persistent demands for new features that are too complicated for typical users.
You'll find it hard to convince your stakeholders (who are insiders, and therefore, experts) that the customers who are also experts (just like them) are not the ones you should listen to. After all, your best customers spend a lot of time and money per head; they 'get' what you do, and they speak your languages; they they're so reasonable—if you ask them to upgrade to the latest version, they do it without hesitating.
But if you listen to them first, you'll create products that are too complex for mainstream customers to use.
As of January 2010, Apple had sold 240,000,000 iPods and no flying cars.
So if your stakeholders are trying to create a mass-markey product by listening to their expert customers, remind them of this story. Sometimes, it's best to ignore your expert customers.
Experts often want features that would horrify mainstreamers.

Thanks for the comments chaps. Here are some thoughts:
Aaron T
Totally agree about The Flip. The history (or mythology) behind The Flip's origin is fascinating and worth seeking out.
I've no hard figures for the percentage of experts and mainstreamers across different sectors. The only time I've seen experts in the majority is in specialist software used in a work setting.
The book is now shipping from Amazon and other bookstores in the UK - with some great reviews, too, I'm proud to say.
Rob Winter
I agree. One is an expert in some spheres and a mainstreamer in others.
Thanks for catching!
It's true that the common path for products is to move from expert audiences to mainstream. I don't think the demands of mainstreamers necessarily change over time. Mainstreamers would always have said: 'yes, if I could have my entire music collection in my pocket, that would be cool'. Or 'if I had a hand held device that was a phone, an information browser and a video player that would be great'. Those ideas have been turning up in movies for decades. My camera phone had more capability than the original iPhone. The difference was, as you point out, making it 'work' for mainstreamers.
You're right, by 'experts' I mean 'experts in your software or gadget' not 'domain experts'.
Certainly you can learn from your expert audience. But if you're making a mass market product, then you have to focus on the mainstream needs (as Brendan indicated in his comments). I agree that really great designer knows when to ignore experts. But I think that was my point, too.
As for developing tools with broad usage AND expert features... that's another chapter in the book. :-)
Wow how much confusion!
First, the "experts" you are describing - at least in this article - aren't "experts" but enthusiast, or early adopters, or nerds. An expert doesn't necessarily want to "spend time finding out how it works". They just want to do what they have in mind. It's like saying that the best photographers love losing time with Photoshop to get their ideas there. Wrong. They want to use a tool that doesn't get in the way without losing expressive power. That's *very* different from saying that that want to fiddle with technology.
But here probably I'm just disagreeing strongly with the choice of the term "expert", that's a bit too broad!
Also, I think that you *should* talk with the experts. They use and ask usually for cutting edge features, detailed functions, etc. But that doesn't mean that you have to do exactly what they say! A good designer listens from everyone (experts and mainstream) but design for simplicity, that doesn't have anything to do, per se, with experts or mainstream.
In this way you are going to develop tools with advanced features AND broad usage.
Take the Apple example you are making: the feature the experts request are just that, features. But Apple understood the *reason* behind those requests, the behaviours, the motivations driving expert users. Not the detailed features.
That's exactly why "experts" were saying that the iPad wouldn't have worked: they looked just at the features list. But they still were right, when you got back to their - expert - needs. That's exactly the kind of insight that the designer is paid for... not avoiding the experts opinion! ;)
I think Brendan raises an important point here. Any significant movement (in politics, music, technology, fashion fad) is led by a small group of users who love it, and spread it.
They are the ones that get this thing into the mainstream. I recently came across a blog post that might be on topic here: http://danzambonini.com/a-case-study-of-designed-by-developers-stack-overflow/
This small group are enthusiastic enough about it to spend their time writing comments criticising the re-design to make it easier. They are the ones who 'belong' to the group that started using it and hence are most passionate.
P.S: This is my first comment on uxmag, maybe the 'More information about formatting options' link could open in a new window instead of redirecting to a new page?
One topic that isn't covered by this article is that technologies used by the first two groups often end up in the hands of the mainstreamers over time.
The central example used here is the iPod. If you took that product back to the year 1998 and showed it to a mainstream audience - saying to them, "this is an MP3 player that works" - you'd have been met with nothing but blank stares. Mainstream audiences at that point didn't know what MP3 players were, and hardly expected to ever own one.
It's the same with smartphones. Prior to 2006 these were of no interest to mainstream audiences, who just wanted "phones that worked". But the definition of "worked" changed and today's mainstream audiences expect the ability to install third-party apps, periodic OS updates, extensive configuration options, etc.
None of these points detract from the basic point of the article, but they do point to a question that it doesn't address, namely - what is this dynamic that changes the demands of the mainstreamers over time?
Great article! But please proof-read:
"In other word,"
"they they're so reasonable"
Agree with the general principle but disagree with this line:
"It has more to do with their underlying attitude toward technology than the amount of time they spend using a product or service."
I would consider myself an expert user of some products, willing adopter of others & a mainstreamer elsewhere. The reasoning would be more accurately described as how much time I have spent using the product or service and my level of affinity for it.
The case in point, Excel, is a product I have used occasionally over the last ten years. I have no use for more than its basic functions so have not bothered to explore further - with this product I'll always be a mainstreamer.
Regarding mobile phones I would say I am an expert with the iPhone as I spend much of my time designing iPhone apps & know the device & UI inside out. Looking at Android, well, I know it's a very similar UI & could become more familiar with it should use an Android phone more often, but I don't. I'm not even willing to adopt the technology.
Any ideas when this book will be available in the UK? I can see it on Amazon, but no release date...
This is a great article. Thank you. I'm particularly interested to learn more about the percentage of users that make up the expert and willing adopter groups; and whether these groups tend to differ in size across market segments.
I can imagine that products and applications designed for consumers would be largely similar, but would one expect that products designed for business and enterprise have different demographics? Are there any studies to support this thesis? How does the MP3 user profile differ to say Corporate Accounting software?

Wade and the Heat reached agreement on a multiyear contract that will pay the 32-year-old All-Star guard at least $15 million per season, ESPN reported Tuesday.
"Home is Where The Heart Is... My Home,My City,My House..#HeatLifer," Wade tweeted.
Wade's physical decline was at the forefront of conversation during and in the aftermath of the Heat losing to the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals last month. Wade said after the series-deciding loss that he will never point to health as a hurdle.
"I just struggled a little bit," Wade said. "As I told you guys, I'm never going to point at anything physically. I felt fine. I just struggled a little bit offensively. You know, I wish I could have done more, but it's the nature of the game. So nothing physically at all."
Yet, Wade went from a Flash redux in the Eastern Conference finals series with the Pacers to a sluggish and out of sync flop in the NBA Finals, shooting 43.8 percent from the field and averaging 15.2 points per game. He battled knee issues for most of the 2012-13 season and was held out of most back-to-back games in 2013-14 to preserve him with the idea his fresh legs would help carry Miami to a third title in four seasons as James' sidekick.
Wade opted out of a contract that would have paid him more than $41 million with a mission of keeping together the trio he helped recruit to be known as The Big Three. But James put the kibosh on a reunion when he announced last week in an essay that he would instead join the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Consequently, Wade will end up taking a $5 million pay cut in the short term that gave the Heat the flexibility to sign Bosh and small forward Luol Deng.
"As a friend and a teammate, I am sad to see my brother LeBron leave to begin a new journey," Wade said in his statement. "In 2010, we decided to come together all for one goal -- to win championships and we succeeded. We were friends when we first joined the league and created an unbreakable bond the past four years. Our collaboration will always be very special to me both personally and professionally. We shared something unique and he will always be part of my family. LeBron made the right decision for himself and his family because home is where your heart is. I know this was not an easy decision to make and I support him in returning to his roots. As an organization, a community, and as individuals, we achieved the goals we set when we first signed on together. We are champions."
The Heat signed Deng to a two-year, $20 million deal to replace James in the lineup and could use the additional financial flexibility to build more depth. Team president Pat Riley re-signed point guard Mario Chalmers and brought in free agents Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger.

It is requested that this article, or a section of this article, be expanded. Please help the Harry Potter Wiki by expanding this article to give more complete coverage of its subject. |
An Unspeakable is a wizard or witch who works in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries. Little is known about their workplace, and even less is known about their jobs. Employees of the Department of Mysteries are forbidden from discussing their jobs or disclosing any information about their department, hence the name "Unspeakable."
Very little is known about what an Unspeakable actually does, due to a high level of secrecy surrounding the Department of Mysteries. Some may study love in the Love Chamber, which, according to Albus Dumbledore, is kept locked at all times, or the concept of time in the Time Room, where the Ministry's stock of Time-Turners were stored prior to being destroyed during the Battle in 1996; others may explore the nature of thoughts in the Thought Chamber, or death in the Death Chamber, where Harry's Godfather was killed[1].There is a veil there which is a one-way doorway seprating the land of the living and the land of the dead.Any living being who goes near it will hear voices of his/her dead loved ones .Any living being who tries to cross it will suffer instant death.
As their titles suggest, the key limitation of Unspeakables is that they are not permitted to talk about their work.
Unspeakables are also unable to remove prophecies from the Hall of Prophecy, or even take them off their shelves, as prophecies can only be removed by those about whom they are made. Anyone else who attempts to do so will be struck by the defensive spells placed on the prophecies, resulting in significant mental harm. The damage seems reversible in time, judging by Broderick Bode, an Unspeakable who was Imperiused into attempting to retrieve the Prophecy regarding Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, in 1995. Lucius Malfoy noted that Bode showed unusual resistance to the Imperius curse, which Augustus Rookwood suggested may have been because the Unspeakable knew what would happen if he touched one of the Prophecies[1].
Rookwood, having been revealed to have passed such confidential information to Lord Voldemort, was condemned to Azkaban for life, and was one of the top security prisoners.
Known Unspeakables

- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) (Mentioned only)

Winning the battle against static cling
I live in Los Angeles, and Im losing the battle against static cling. Short of my purchasing every can of Static Guard in the country or putting multiple fabric softeners in the dryer, can you think of any method to keep me from turning into Mr. Electricity? (By the way, I wear knee-high dress socks, which probably makes things worse.)
Ive missed out on static cling. Maybe because I tend to wear natural fibers. Maybe its the climate in New York. Your problem is caused by fabrics rubbing against each other in a dry atmosphere. If you dont want to go through all that Static Guard, which is probably not so great for the old ozone layer, you could get a misting spray bottle from the hardware store, fill it with water, set the nozzle to fine and mist your clothes. I bet youll find humidifying your trousers thusly works just as well as the high-priced spray.

The lovely old town with its stately houses, cosy inns and hotels will tempt you to linger awhile. Lively Bahnhofstrasse is great for shopping, and the Stockalper Palace in Brig is one of the most important baroque palaces in Switzerland.
The history of Brig is closely linked with the Simplon Pass, one of the most beautiful alpine passes which starts immediately beyond the city gates. Napoleon built a road through the Simplon Pass in the 19th century to move his armies, thus creating the first man-made road in the Alps.
Brig is a perfect starting point for an excursion to Zermatt or Saas-Fee, for example. It also lies along the route of the famous Glacier Express, which links Zermatt and St. Moritz. Going south, Brig is the most northerly border station for the Simplon railway tunnel to Italy. To the east, you pass through Goms, and the Furka Pass leads to central Switzerland; the Grimsel Pass into the Bernese Oberland; and the Nufenen Pass into the Ticino.
Blatten above Naters near Brig, with its timber houses burnt a deep brown by the sun, is an authentic little Valais village. From here, a cable railway ascends the Belalp to a sun-drenched, traffic-free high plateau with the 'Families Welcome' seal of quality. Its attractions include the Massa Trail and Gorge, the Aletsch climbing path across the reservoir and 'suonen walks' along the historic Valais irrigation channels.
There are over 150 km of marked hiking trails on the Simplon and Lötschberg and in the Aletsch region. Cycle and mountain bike routes also abound. Experts will enjoy the tour to the Rosswald viewing plateau. The Brig Baths, one of the biggest open-air thermal centres in Switzerland, are thoroughly exhilarating.
