Stand Up ( Pop-up cover) 6360

Rare 1st pressing (1970) with the rare die-cut pop-up gatefold cover.
The group's second album... As a story-song with opaque lyrics, jarring tempo changes, and loud electric passages juxtaposed with soft acoustic-textured sections, "Back to the Family" is an early forerunner to Thick As a Brick. Similarly, "Reasons for Waiting," with its mix of closely miked acoustic guitar and string orchestra, all hung around a hauntingly beautiful folk-based melody, pointed in the direction of that conceptual piece and its follow-up, A Passion Play. The original LP had a gatefold jacket that included a pop-up representation of the band.

After viewing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote to Walt Disney about adapting his novel of an ape-man into a feature animated cartoon. Sixtysome years later, the tale is finally told with brilliant design work that looks unlike any previous animated film. The story is a natural for Disney since the themes of misunderstood central figures have been at the heart of its recent hits. Disney's Tarzan doesn't wander far from the familiar story of a shipwrecked baby who is brought up by apes in Africa. What gives the film its zing is its clever use of music (the songs are sung by Phil Collins himself rather than onscreen characters) and the remarkable animation. Deep Canvas, a 3-D technology, was developed for the film, creating a jungle that comes alive as Tarzan swings through the trees, often looking like a modern skateboarder racing down giant tree limbs. The usual foray of sidekicks, including a rambunctious ape voiced by Rosie O'Donnell, should keep the little ones aptly entertained. The two lead voices, Tony Goldwyn as Tarzan and Minnie Driver as Jane, are inspired choices. Their chemistry helps the story through the weakest points (the last third) and makes Tarzan's initial connection with all things human (including Jane) delicious entertainment. Disney still is not taking risks in its animated films, but as cookie-cutter entertainment, Tarzan makes a pretty good treat. (Ages 5 and up) --Doug Thomas

Disney's 1967 animated feature seems even more entertaining now than it did upon first release, with a hall-of-fame vocal performance by Phil Harris as Baloo, the genial bear friend of feral child Mowgli. Based on fiction by Rudyard Kipling, the film goes its own way as Disney animation will, but the strong characters and smart casting (George Sanders as the villainous tiger, Shere Khan) make it one of the studio's stronger feature-length cartoons. Songs include "The Bare Necessities" and "Trust in Me." --Tom Keogh
A classic 1967 Disney animated film that's loosely based on Rudyard Kipling's book of the same name, Jungle Book tells the story of a young boy Mowgli who was raised by animals in the jungle. When tiger Shere Khan threatens to return to their part of the jungle, the other animals decide that Mowgli must return to the man village in order to ensure his safety. Panther Bagheera has difficulty convincing Mowgli to follow him to the man village and recruits the help of a big lovable bear Baloo. Mowgli's journey is one of wit, song, and many surprises. A timeless film populated by strong characters bursting with personality, great music like "Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You," and inspiring animation by Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and other master animators, Jungle Book captivates audiences of all ages. This Platinum Edition includes everything from the standard bonus features like interactive games, music videos, and deleted songs to exciting and sometimes rare commentaries by everyone from modern day animators to Walt Disney himself, multiple featurettes about specific aspects of the film and its production, and a lengthy deleted scene featuring lost character Rocky the Rhino. Especially interesting for adults and Disney fans are "The Bare Necessities: The making of The Jungle Book" featurette, which explores Walt Disney's commitment to developing strong characters and his insistence that writers, animators, and song writers create a light version of Jungle Book that followed his own personal interpretation of the story, and the "The Lure of The Jungle Book" featurette, which discusses Frank Thomas' and Ollie Johnston's amazing contribution to the film as prolific animators and the inspiration and influence that their work provided for future animators including Brad Bird (The Incredibles), Andreas Deja (Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King), Sergio Pablos (Tarzan), Will Finn (Home on the Range), and Eric Goldberg (Fantasia 2000). The full length commentary by Bruce Reitherman (voice of Mowgli), animator Andreas Deja, and composer Richard Sherman with its interspersed archival commentary of Disney greats from the original creative team (Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Woolie Reitherman, and others) is also very interesting and insightful. --Tami Horiuchi

Loosely based on Upton Sinclair's novel "Oil!," Paul Thomas Anderson's powerful drama stars Best Actor Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis as self-made oil tycoon Daniel Plainview. As his quest for "black gold" takes him to early 20th-century California, Plainview becomes entrenched in a world of deception, corruption, and murder, making his fortune at the cost of his soul. Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor, Ciaran Hinds, D illon Freasier star. 158 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.
Unmistakably a shot at greatness, Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood succeeds in wild, explosive ways. The film digs into nothing less than the sources of peculiarly American kinds of ambition, corruption, and industry--and makes exhilarating cinema from it all. Although inspired by Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil!, Anderson has crafted his own take on the material, focusing on a black-eyed, self-made oilman named Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), whose voracious appetite for oil turns him into a California tycoon in the early years of the 20th century. The early reels are a mesmerizing look at the getting of oil from the ground, an intensely physical process that later broadens into Plainview's equally indomitable urge to control land and power. Curious, diverting episodes accumulate during Plainview's rise: a mighty derrick fire (a bravura opportunity that Anderson, with the aid of cinematographer Robert Elswit, does not fail to meet), a visit from a long-lost brother (Kevin J. O'Connor), the ongoing involvement of Plainview's poker-faced adoptive son (Dillon Freasier). As the film progresses, it gravitates toward Plainview's rivalry with the local representative of God, a preacher named Eli Sunday (brimstone-spitting Paul Dano); religion and capitalism are thus presented not so much as opposing forces but as two sides of the same coin. And the worm in the apple here is less man's greed than his vanity. Anderson's offbeat take on all this--exemplified by the astonishing musical score by Jonny Greenwood--occasionally threatens to break the film apart, but even when it founders, it excites. As for Daniel Day-Lewis, his performance is Olivier-like in its grand scope and its attention to details of behavior; Plainview speaks in the rum-rich voice of John Huston, and squints with the wariness of Walter Huston. It's a fearsome performance, and the engine behind the film's relentless power. --Robert Horton

Collecting vintage posters has become very popular, and the reason for this is because there are only a very few genuine vintage posters available in today's market. Many vintage posters come with a very expensive price tag while others you can find at a reasonably low price, depending on popularity and the genre. Here are some things that may help you when you begin collecting Vintage Poster art.
Modernism, Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Symbolism are examples of period art. Posters also come is various sizes, designs and subject matter. There are also many different types of posters such as western genre posters, vintage movie posters, military posters, advertisements and political posters. The list goes on and on but choose what interests you the most and enjoy what you are doing.
When collecting vintage posters you will find that some are more collectible than others. World War II posters and autographed posters are rare finds and also more expensive. If you are purchasing an Autographed Poster, make sure the autograph is authentic, if it is authentic the owner will generally offer a certificate of authenticity with your purchase. Whether you are collecting for fun or because you have a passion for a specific period or subject, collecting vintage art is not only extremely interesting but can be profitable too.
During some research I found that an original German poster (a Fritz Lang Film) titled the Metropolis sold for over $700,000. Only a few are in existence to date and one is in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. So you can see for yourself that vintage art posters can be an extremely expensive hobby.
When looking to purchase your vintage poster you will want to make sure that it is not a reproduction and that it is genuine original and authentic, what condition the poster is in (mint, near mint, new, slightly used, etc. You will also want to know if the poster has undergone any kink restoration and how the poster has been stored and preserved up until now.
If you are interested in history, political posters are rare and highly prized, not just for the artistry of the poster but because of the place it holds in our history. Vintage horror posters are also highly prized and much sought after, such as The Bride of Frankenstein (which is to be auctioned off in November 2010 by Heritage Auctions) There are many collectors around the world that will pay a very high price for one of these rare vintage posters.
Today vintage poster collecting has become big business. Begin your collection with what you are interested in, be it films, movies, whatever pleases you and your finances.

How to Increase Your Profits in a Downturn
Let’s face it. Every business needs profits – to expand, to invest in new things, to enter new markets, pay investors, or in these uncertain times – just to survive.
So what are your strategies for increasing your profits? And are you confident that everyone in your business understands these?
When you simplify it, there are just 3 ways to increase profits:
1. Increase Prices
2. Reduce Costs, and/or
3. Increase Sales Volume.
Which of these would impact your bottom line most favourably?
Say we manage to increase prices by just 1%, cut costs by 1% and also manage to increase sales volume by 1% - what effect would these have on your business?
Whilst you should be able to calculate the impact of the first two on your profits, you need to understand the split of your costs between variable and fixed in order to calculate the impact of a 1% increase in sales volume. You need to distinguish which of your costs stay the same whether you sell one unit or 1 million (i.e., your fixed costs) and which vary in line with changes in activity (i.e. your variable costs).
Driving sales volume for an organisation with high variable costs is definitely not the smartest strategy, yet it's the strategy adopted by many high fixed cost businesses.
Take hotels for instance, where occupancy, (i.e. volume) is a key performance indicator. Businesses like Wotif.com.au have been successful since they help hotels go after this volume. If your business has high variable costs, e.g. a petrol station, your focus should be on margins, not on volume.
So let's get back to our calculation. If you made each of the 1% changes cumulative, what would be the impact on your business? For a business with variable costs of 50%, fixed costs of 40% and therefore a net profit margin of 10%, the cumulative impact of these three 1% changes is 24%. Not bad!
You might ask which of these changes would have the most significant impact? In this example it would be the price increase, as this extra revenue will flow straight through to your bottom line.
Let's look at each of the three tactics or approaches for increasing your profits and whether there is anything you could do to achieve that 1% profit increase:
1. Increase Prices
In tough economic times, increasing your prices might not appear to be an option. However, remember that any profits from a price increase would flow straight through to your bottom line.
The same happens when you give discounts- but in reverse. With regard to your pricing, consider the following:
• Volume discounts: Reward your best customers by offering volume discounts (e.g. 5% discount) which take effect at certain thresholds.
Volume discounts should apply to a specific time period and to sales above a specific threshold, e.g., 5% discount on sales in excess of $500k in the 12 months to 30.6.09. This approach maintains your standard prices and acts as an incentive for businesses to spend more money with you.
• Reduce “giveawaysâ€, favours or extras included for free: Unless you really think these would have a positive impact on your bottom line. What do these extras actually cost you? Do you know?
• Early payment discounts Do your sums! Rarely does a B2B early payment proposition work in favour of both parties. However if your customers are mainly retail, these might be worth considering. You will have seen some utility companies offering discounts for early payment or payment by direct debit. Another example is where there is a prize draw if you pay by a certain date. In this latter case, the savings in bank interest often pay for the prize many times over. You need to work out your savings in bank interest before you start offering such discounts – since every business is different.
2. Reduce Costs
Faced with a global down turn, it is inevitable that this will be a focus for many businesses in the next 12 months. Cutting salary costs is often the first thing to be considered. However before reducing staff, make sure you have examined your other costs.
With regards to cutting costs consider the following:
• Buy Better. A number of businesses have gone down the “preferred supplier†route. Whilst this can lead to a heavy dependence on one or two suppliers, it's an effective way of driving down prices. Telecommunications, stationery, travel and fleet management are just some areas of your business where cost savings could be made.
• Less Waste. Whether it's turning off lights when not needed or using a duplex printer, there are many ways to reduce wastage, and at the same time, help the environment.
What about your stationery stocks – have you looked at them recently? Maybe you have enough and can postpone that next trip to Officeworks! Also some office stationery and supplies can go missing mysteriously; better control or accountability might be all that's needed!
A school recently did a study of the cost of using conventional toilet rolls compared to dispensers and found the dispensers cut their costs considerably. You never know where you might be able to save!
• Zero Based Budgeting. I met someone last year on one of my courses who was expected to cut $10m off a $80m budget for the next financial year. I recommended a zero based budgeting approach.
With this approach you need to start with a blank piece of paper to assemble the budget. Focus on the outputs of the business unit - the deliverables - and then work out what is absolutely necessary to deliver these outcomes.
Too often our budgeting starts with last year’s actuals and therefore we accept the base, focusing on the incremental change rather than challenging the base.
3. Increase Sales Volume
This is probably what most businesses continually focus on. Whilst important, it's vital not to chase every sale.
For some businesses the sales process can be very protracted and so a lot of resource (and therefore cost) can be devoted to this activity.
You need to focus your energies. Consider drawing up a profile of your best customers - those that earn you most of your profits. Identify the common characteristics and ensure you know why they buy from you. Then prepare a strategy to attract customers of a similar profile.
Finally, remember that none of the tactics discussed will get implemented effectively unless:
1. Your staff understand the strategy, and
2. Are financially literate.
In my next article I will examine ways of improving the communication of finance.
